Monday was the first day the new 50 million dollar appellate court was open for business….sort of. Our initial calls to the court were met with this:
"Hold the line, and an operator will assist you shortly."
When we arrived unannounced, the security guard at the front desk couldn't reach anyone either. Finally, the court Marshall told us they were too busy getting settled to give us tour. Earlier this month we went through the unopened building with State Senator Mike Fasano. He says every tax payer in Florida should be concerned with the the opulence."
"The judges have a bathroom in their chamber that is sound-proof," Fasano said. "Now, why would we, the taxpayers, have to pay for a sound-proof bathroom within a judge's chamber?"
Make no mistake, lawmakers funded the building in 2007. But Fasano says he will hold hearings in January over what he calls deceitful manipulation of the legislature.
"That building is going to actually cost the taxpayers, once those bonds are paid off in a 30 year period of time, it will actually cost over 70 million dollars of tax payer money," Fasano said.
Powerful FSU Alumni also helped grease the money for the new courthouse.
The old courthouse is just 30 years old, and after some renovations, it will be part of the FSU law school.
Fasano had sought to delay the court's move into the new building, but it was already in progress before he asked for the court to wait.
The Appeals court will hear its first case in the new courthouse in early January.

Best Phoenix hangouts for great coffee
There's nothing like a good coffee to start off your day. The aroma, the buzz, the flavors—coffee is heaven in a cup!
Whether you've had a rough night and you need a "strong" one or you just want to sweeten your morning with a Nutty Mocha Latte, the Phoenix baristas are ready to fulfill your beverage requests.
There are plenty of nice coffee shops around the Valley besides Starbucks. You should definitely check out Echo Coffee, an excellent venue known for its friendly atmosphere, welcoming staff and exceptionally good java. It's a perfect place to hang out with friends or meet new people. Echo Coffee is located on the Northwest corner of 68th Street and Thomas Road, just 1/2 mile west of Scottsdale Road in South Scottsdale.
Eco Coffee serves fresh, organic products and there are a lot of coffee flavors to choose from; Cappuccino, Chai latte, Almond latte or Macchiato, they all taste great, just speak your mind!
The coffee is roasted in the shop, and they use only the finest 100% arabica beans, from countries like Kenya, Brazil, and El Salvador. If you order "for here" you'll get a yummy organic shortbread cookie to go with it. I can say it's truly fantastic! They also serve lunch which comes in a great variety of sandwiches and salads; their menu is also available online.
If you're not a going-out-for-coffee type of person, but you still need your daily dose of "energy in a cup", you should consider stopping by Shine Coffee–or better yet Shine Coffee might drop by your place! It's an awesome mobile espresso bar inside a 1957 vintage Airstream trailer that goes around the Phoenix area, serving up delicious java, espresso and tea beverages, and breakfast foods! For its exact location and serving hours, please visit their Facebook page online.
What's your favorite, local coffee shop?

A Saturday matinee at Ailey is a marvelous mix of kids and adults in holiday finery and some of the best dancers on the planet going all out to give their guests a good time.
In the one brand-new work this season, "Another Night," young dance-maker Kyle Abraham sets 10 hot movers in motion, a kind of posse out on the town in Naoko Nagata's bright clothes, celebrating to Dizzy Gillespie's percussive "A Night in Tunisia," performed by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. Standouts here are long-limbed Jamar Roberts, who partners beautiful Jacqueline Green, and Antonio Douthit, the class clown who wanders onstage eating chips and blithely invites audience members to join the party. Fifteen minutes long, it sets a lively tone that lasts for the whole show.
A brief 1999 solo by artistic director Robert Battle, "Takademe," sets Kanji Segawa in rapid motion to Sheila Chandra's kathak-like rhythms, and enthralls the many children in the crowd. Performed by a Japanese man to South Asian music, it exemplifies the eclectic repertory Battle is developing for the troupe he took over last year.
New to the company is Jiri Kylian's "Petite Mort," handsome in stand-alone gowns and corset-like trunks that both confine the dancers' extraordinary bodies and lend an air of mischievous sexuality. Made in 1991 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Mozart's death, it reveals the balletic side of the company's strength.
It wouldn't be an Ailey show without the 1960 "Revelations," Alvin's masterwork, here augmented with students from the Ailey school and members of the second company, who bring the crowd to its feet.

Special Report
The year that was 2013 saw China's new leadership take full charge of a Communist Party increasingly concerned with a myriad of challenges from within and outside the country's borders.
Wang Qishan Balancing Act
After being named as one of the seven members of the Politburo, China's central governing body, in November 2012, Wang Qishan made his diplomatic debut when he visited the US in December 2012 as a vice-premier. However, Wang's real responsibility within the Party is to curb corruption, a widespread problem that the top leadership has warned may lead to its collapse.
In March, Wang, who heads the Central Commission for Disciplinary Inspection, pledged that the new leadership's anti-corruption campaign would target both "tigers" and "flies." By the end of November 2013, 11 senior provincial officials had been removed from office, more than twice the number that fell during the previous leadership's first year after assuming power. It is estimated that more than 1,000 bureau-level officials have been sacked during the same time. Wang is said to be the second most powerful person in China, with only President Xi Jinping wielding more clout.
Analysts argue that Wang's approach is different from that of the previous leadership in that it focuses on punishment rather than prevention. In the past, anti-corruption efforts had focused more on prevention, as this was thought to address the root causes of corruption. However, as these efforts failed, harsher punishments are now considered to be the most effective method of reining in officials.
One of the many new tactics to have been adopted is the sending of "circuit inspection teams" to different provinces and government agencies, with the goal of spotting corruption and creating an atmosphere of "shock and awe."
Bo Xilai Riches to Rags
The trial of Bo Xilai, a former member of the powerful Politburo and Party chief of southwest China's Chongqing Municipality in August finally brought to a close the sensational political drama triggered by the attempted defection of Wang Lijun, Bo's deputy, to the US Embassy in Chengdu in February 2012.
Bo received a life sentence after being found guilty of taking bribes and abusing his power in order to dismiss Wang, his former police chief, to cover up the murder of British businessman and family friend Neil Heywood by Bo's estranged wife Gu Kailai.
With Gu and Wang respectively sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve and 15 years in jail earlier this year, the punishment handed down to Bo, whose campaign against organized crime led to harsh persecution of local entrepreneurs, is not surprising. What was surprising is how the trail was conducted – unlike other high-profile trials which are usually conducted behind closed doors, the court released a purportedly live transcript of the trial through online news portals and Weibo, China's Twitter equivalent, which depicted Bo vociferously defending himself, refuting all charges against him and challenging the prosecution's case point by point.
The authorities hailed the trial as a symbol of progress in China's judicial system, though many remain skeptical. After Bo appealed, a second trial was conducted in October, amid much less fanfare and with no live feed. The verdict was upheld.
Li Tianyi Princeling Pariah
The son of General Li Shuangjiang, a famous 74-year-old army singer known for his renditions of patriotic songs, and Meng Ge, also a well-known singer in China's People's Liberation Army, Li Tianyi had previously made headlines in 2011 when he attacked a couple over a traffic dispute, despite allegedly driving illegally himself at the time. He was sentenced to one year in a labor camp for the incident.he trial of Li Tianyi, a 17-year-old man who was eventually sentenced to 10 years in prison for gang raping a woman in a Beijing hotel, was perhaps China's most sensational legal case of 2013.
Despite the legal requirement to protect the identity of minors, the case went viral in China's media, with Li being called everything from "spoiled brat" to "dangerous criminal." In an effort to save her son, Li's mother and lawyers also took to the media, variously claiming that the victim was a prostitute and that the alleged rape was actually consensual sex. The strategy backfired, and led to a further public outcry over the privileges of the rich. Li was later sentenced to 10 years in prison.
For many, the case reflected the growing public anger at China's so-called "second-generation rich," the privileged children of officials, celebrities and wealthy businesspeople, who often seem to live above the law.
Luo Changping Open Season
This 33-year-old investigative journalist and the deputy editor-in-chief of leading news magazine Caijing, Luo posted accusations on his Weibo account late 2012 accusing a senior government official of graft.
Luo was the first Chinese reporter to dare to use the real name of an official in a non-State-approved report on corruption, exposing him to retaliation from the accused. Luo claimed that Liu Tienan, a former deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission, China's top macroeconomic planning body, of involvement in corruption, academic fraud and adultery.
Liu was sacked and expelled from the Communist Party in May, and will stand trial for corruption. Luo was honored with an Integrity Award from anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International in November.
Xia Junfeng Hero or Villain?
No death sentence in China this year garnered more sympathy than that of Xia Junfeng, a street food vendor who had stabbed to death two chengguan, or urban management officers, and seriously injured another in a scuffle in the chengguan office.
The incident occurred on May 16, 2009 when Xia, a kebab vendor in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, was detained by chengguan for operating without a license. Xia pulled a knife from his pocket and killed two officers before fleeing. He was soon arrested and sentenced to death, and his appeal was rejected in 2011. After the case came to light, public support for the murderer grew as the chengguan's image as a ruthless and lawless organization was picked over in the media. In order to assuage public anger, the supreme court took two years to review the case before issuing the death sentence. Xia was executed on September 25, 2013.
The public protest went viral online on Weibo, China's Twitter equivalent, the key issue in the debate being whether or not Xia's actions were in self-defense. It was widely speculated that Xia was assaulted in the chengguan office before launching a fatal counter-attack.
Angry netizens compared Xia's sentence with that handed down to Gu Kailai, wife of the fallen Chongqing Party chief Bo Xilai, who was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve (essentially life imprisonment) for murdering British businessman Neil Heywood. Many argued that the verdict was yet more evidence that China's different social classes are subject to different laws.
Tang Hui A Mother's Suffering
After five years of efforts to bring those responsible for the gang rape of her 11-year-old daughter to justice, Tang Hui, a 38-year-old mother from Hunan Province, was sentenced to 18 months of "re-education through labor" for "interference in public functions" in 2011. According to local authorities, those who carried out the gang rape have now been arrested and convicted.
Since then, Tang has become an iconic figure, while the public has grown increasingly angry with power abuses by the country's law enforcement authorities. After Tang's case was exposed, a spate of cases were revealed in which people were wrongfully sent to extra-legal labor camps.
With the public outcry raised by Tang's and other cases, Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged in January that the government would "work hard to ensure that the public feel they have received fair justice in every single legal case in China." More specifically, the authorities pledged to scrap within the year the extra-legal "re-education through labor" system, which allows the police to detain an individual for up to four years without trial.
In July, a court in Hunan ruled that Tang should be compensated with 2,641 yuan (US$433) for her wrongful detention.
Deng Yaping Falling Star
The manager of State-owned search engine Jike was left with egg on her face when the ill-fated portal was closed down after a miserable declare. A former Olympic ping-pong champion, Deng was appointed to head the search service launched by Party mouthpiece the People's Daily three years ago to fill the gap left behind by Google when it closed down its servers on the Chinese mainland in early 2010 after a dispute over government restrictions on the Internet.
Though the appointment of a ping-pong player to the top position in an IT company was widely seen as a joke among netizens, Deng expressed ambitions to build Jike into a major player in the domestic market and even overseas.
Two billion yuan (US$328m) later, the search engine had obtained almost zero percent of China's search market. It was reported that Jike would be merged with panguso.com, another State-run search engine under the Xinhua News Agency, which was launched about the same time as Jike and failed almost as spectacularly to capture an audience.
Indeed, the combined market share of Jike and Panguso was less than 0.04 percent, despite the government attempting to force all China's civil servants and employees in State-owned enterprises to exclusively use one or the other while at work. By all accounts, this decree has gone unheeded.
Pony Ma Global Creative
The unusually-named chairman and CEO of Tencent, one of China's largest IT giants, saw his application WeChat become the hottest social networking platform in China, overtaking Sina Weibo, the Chinese Twitter equivalent that has been bleeding users due to its enhanced censorship and a perceived failure to respond to the needs of its users.
WeChat is so far the first IT innovation devised by a Chinese company to gain popularity overseas, with a growing user base in Southeast Asia and the US setting the stage for further global expansion. This could be vital for Tencent, given that the company has long been accused of ripping off products made by US competitors, as well as plagiarizing its domestic rivals.
Tencent has also been approved to offer various banking services, and it has already attached gaming and online payment service to its WeChat platform, boosting potential profitability.
Jack Ma Loud and Proud
The president of Alibaba further expanded the e-commerce company's presence in the financial sector by authorizing issuance of loans to merchants on its e-commerce portals Alibaba, Tmall and Taobao in 2012.
Alibaba's bid to permit online sales of financial products and insurance was greenlit by the authorities in June, and five months after its launch, sales of its first fund, namely Yu E Bao, totaled 100 billion yuan (US$16.4bn), making it China's bestselling financial product.
Other IT giants such as Baidu and Tencent have copied Ma's online financial service model this year, a major challenge to State banks that used to be protected by law from private sector competition.
In its online retail business, Ma's company is also doing better than ever. During the nationwide shopping spree that took place over the unofficial Singles' Day (November 11), Tmall and Taobao sold 35 billion yuan (US$5.7bn) worth of goods, an 83 percent increase on sales on the same day last year.
Zhou Xiaochuan Sticking Around
Zhou Xiaochuan, 65, had been expected to retire as Governor of the People's Bank of China (PBC) in 2013, until the central government decided to keep him on in the office he has occupied for more than 10 years. Known as one of the country's core reformist officials, Zhou has major influence not only on monetary policy, but, crucially, on financial reform. China's economic growth has slowed down due to restrictive policies concerning property prices alongside shrinking exports and inefficient investment. The central bank has always been under conflicting pressures to keep the market stable while also liberalizing economic policy. In June this year, for example, the PBC refused to inject capital into the interbank market which was undergoing a brief liquidity crisis, causing widespread, if short-lived, market panic.
Zhou later acknowledged that the PBC's actions were designed to give "a warning" to banks that circumvented regulations to borrow short-term money to lend to long-term projects initiated by local governments and property developers. Restrictions on loan interest rates were removed in July and in September a new benchmark lending rate system based on major Chinese banks' rates for their best clients was introduced. While progress on interest rate reform has been widely hailed, the central bank under Zhou's leadership has also been criticized for printing too much money and continuing to purchase US Treasury bonds in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. There have also been complaints that the devaluation of the yuan on the domestic market has swallowed consumer wealth, and others have claimed that the allowance for appreciation of the yuan against the US dollar has led to losses of Chinese exporters and investment of foreign exchange reserves.
Wang Yaping Space School
As China's second ever female astronaut, Wang Yaping joined two male colleagues on the Shenzhou X mission in June 2013. From the Tiangong I orbital module, Wang delivered a live lecture on aerospace science on June 20, making her China's first ever "teacher in space." She later conducted experiments demonstrating the effects of weightlessness on the movement of objects and the surface tension of liquids to over 60 million Chinese middle school students and teachers. Through a live video feed, she also interacted with more than 330 students at a Beijing high school. Much has been made of China's handful of female astronauts, most of whom are hand-picked from the People's Liberation Army Air Force as much for their clean-cut, patriotic images as their professional credentials, something which has drawn criticism from some quarters.
Wan Long Meat Mogul
Wan Long, owner of Hong Kong-based Shuanghui International Holdings, became the world's top butcher overnight in September, after purchasing US-based meat-processing giant Smithfield Foods. The US$4.7 billion deal turned out to be the biggest ever Chinese takeover of a US company, outdoing other notable Chinese overseas ventures including Lenovo's purchase of IBM's PC business in 2004 and Wanda's acquisition of AMC earlier this year.
Wan, 73, has spent his entire career in the meat industry. He joined Shuanghui in 1968 and rose to a factory director in 1984, eventually turning it into China's biggest meat producer with an annual production volume of 2.7 million tons. With the acquisition, Wan said, Shuanghui aimed to learn food safety and efficient management practices from Smithfield.
Wan has no intention to retire in the near future, and is reported to be in preparation to seek up to US$6 billion in an initial public offering in Hong Kong to compensate for the deal valued at US$7.1 billion including debt. The offering is expected to begin early next year, media reported.
Peng Liyuan Fashion Forward
Standing alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping during his various overseas visits and presidential appointments, China's First Lady Peng Liyuan has become an international fashion icon with her chic fashion sense since her debut in March.
A household name even before becoming President Xi's wife, Peng's high-profile presence defies a tradition among Chinese top leaders, who are reluctant to parade their wives in public. While President Xi deals with international diplomacy, Peng has become something of a cultural icon, helping to improve the country's international image.
Championing Chinese fashion labels on her various officials tours with President Xi, the 50-year-old former military folk singer has provoked comparisons with American First Lady Michelle Obama – many in China were disappointed when Michelle Obama was absent from a bilateral meeting between President Xi and President Obama in California in June, suspecting that the First Lady of the United States was unwilling to risk being outshone by Peng.
Making waves at home and abroad, Peng's popularity has helped to improve China's soft power and its international image. In May, Forbes ranked Peng at 54 on its 2013 list of the World's 100 Most Powerful Women. In August, Peng was named in Vanity Fair's 2013 International Best Dressed list. Peng also holds a position at the United Nations World Health Organization as a goodwill ambassador for tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.
As Xi is expected to remain in power for the next decade, Peng will likely continue to be an important asset for China's soft power.
Evergrande Soccer Club Rare Champions
In mid-November, Guangzhou Evergrande Soccer Club won the 2013 Asian Soccer Confederation (AFC) Champions League title, the first Chinese club to do so in 23 years. The Guangzhou-based professional club drew with South Korea's FC Seoul 1-1 at home to claim the trophy in the second and final leg in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province following a 2-2 draw in Seoul. The team's success has been credited to their Italian coach Marcello Lippi of Italy, who bolstered the team's lineup with a raft of skilled foreign players. A total bonus package of more than 150 million yuan (US$24.63 million) was awarded to players following the match, which was watched by some 50,000 fans packed into Guangzhou's Tianhe Stadium, with millions more watching on TV. Some drew unfavorable comparisons with China's national team, long plagued by poor performance, match-fixing, corruption scandals and poor retention of players. While some saw Evergrande's success as a potential source of hope, others pointed out the contribution of both foreign players and, crucially, a foreign coach, to ensuring success.
Feng Xiaogang Revival or Retreat?
China Central Television (CCTV) announced in July that popular movie director Feng Xiaogang would direct the network's 2014 Chinese New Year Gala. Although mostly known for his comedies, Feng has attempted to tackle more weighty fare in recent years, including the 1976 Tangshan earthquake and the famine that struck Henan Province in 1942. These forays into drama, while winning praise from the Chinese authorities, have disappointed fans of Feng's lighter and infinitely more popular family comedies. The CCTV Chinese New Year Gala has also come under fire for its content in recent years, having evolved from a folksy and light-hearted show first broadcast in 1982 to a multi-million dollar spectacular padding out comedy sketches and musical numbers with thinly-veiled propaganda. Younger audiences have abandoned the broadcast in favor of more crowd-pleasing regional versions and Internet entertainment, and Feng's appointment is expected to bring some of the old sparkle back to a stale format. "Directing the Spring Festival Gala is not my line of work," Feng said during a press conference.
Jia Zhangke The Roots of Violence
As one of the leading figures in the so-called sixth generation of Chinese filmmakers and one of international cinema's most celebrated artists, Jia Zhangke is no stranger to controversy. His unflinching portrayals of poverty, alienated youth and the impact of economic expansion on Chinese society and the environment have guaranteed the censorship of his entire output on the Chinese mainland, even as he has become an international luminary. His latest work, A Touch of Sin, won the best screenplay award at the Cannes Film Festival. Centering on four stories based on real events, two in particular – that of a massage parlor worker who fights off the unwanted advances of a customer, and another involving a man who takes the law into his own hands after a clash with officials – mean the film's release in China remains unlikely. Critics have described the film as "ultra violent" and compared it to the work of Quentin Tarantino, but, in Jia's own words, he does not admire or worship violence, but wishes to examine its "roots."
Wang Feng Rocky Romance
After weeks of media speculation, veteran rocker Wang Feng broke a long silence to publicly declare his love for actress Zhang Ziyi in an 8-minute-long declaration during a November concert in Shanghai. Soon after accounts of their pair's involvement began circulating after Zhang publicly broke off a romance with TV presenter Sa Beining, Wang divorced his wife, which set the rumor mill into overdrive. Both Wang and Zhang were subjected to public backlash – both have been criticized for their behavior in past relationships. "I want to make you the happiest woman in the world," Wang remarked in his address, adding that he hopes they can appear together in public in the future, rather than literally wearing masks when outside their homes. He then dedicated a performance of the song I Love You So Much to Zhang, who was seated in the front row.
Faye Wong End of an Era
Singing superstar Faye Wong announced her split from actor husband Li Yapeng via her Weibo account in the fall after eight years of marriage. "Our affinity and connection as a husband and wife in this life has come to an end," Wong wrote on the Twitter-like microblogging platform. "I'm well. Please take care of yourselves." Li Yapeng made a similar announcement. "What I want is a family, but you are destined to be a legend." In 2006, the celebrity couple set up the Smile Angel Foundation, a charity for Chinese children with cleft palates, after their daughter Li Yan was born with the condition. After their divorce was announced, Li said their daughter would be taken into his custody and that there would not be any disputes over money because the pair had kept their finances separate.
Catchphrases of the year
The Legend of Zhen Huan is a wildly popular TV drama series dealing with fictionalized power struggles in the harem of the Yongzheng Emperor of the mid-Qing Dynasty. The show's dramatic style, shrewd casting and cliffhanger plotlines made it an instant hit, with some calling it China's answer to Downton Abbey.
Such a thing, this one cannot do!
This archaic phrase, which refers to the speaker in the third person, originated with the character of the Empress Yixiu (Ada Choi), responding to a comment that she should stop loving her increasingly cold husband. When a screenshot of one of Choi's more melodramatic expressions went viral, the accompanying line became a catchphrase used when someone is asked to do something they are unwilling or unable to do, such as eat less, stop playing online games or spending too much money.
Bitches gonna bitch.
This line is delivered by the character Concubine Hua (Jiang Xin), female lead Zhen Huan's arch-rival for the Emperor's affections, whose catty and duplicitous personality became a huge hit with the show's fan base. Anyone, particularly women, seen as venal, calculating or false (all things Hua accuses Zhen Huan of being in her dealings with the Emperor), can expect this insult to be directed at them, usually behind their backs.
You are doomed to live a solitary life.
Originally a mocking response from a netizen to a post in which a young man described how he had failed to pick up on hints dropped by female admirers, this phrase became popular among young Web users. Used in relation to young men who are unaware of the tactics employed by young women in courtship, a number of anecdotes have also gone viral after their originators were deemed "doomed to live a solitary life." One story in particular, where a young man, upon arriving at a girl's dormitory late at night following a request for laptop repair, stormed out, indignant that his IT skills had been slighted when the lady in question claimed it was too late for him to finish the job and he'd have to sleep over, proved popular with netizens.
Would you wait for me until my hair reaches my waist?
After one half of a young couple posted two pictures online with the comment "You kept me company as my hair grew from my shoulders to my waist. I kept you company as you grew from a green boy into a mature man," a budding poet attempted to turn the post into verse, only to find his phrasing the subject of widespread online satire. A few gems included: "Once my hair reaches my waist, I'll use it to strangle you," and "Once my hair reaches my waist, how will I use the toilet?"
土豪, 我们做朋友吧
New money, let's be pals!
With tuhao, "new money," becoming an epithet for China's growing number of spendthrift overnight millionaires, the following joke, satirizing those who wish to curry favor with the idle rich, went viral.
A young man met a monk, and said: "I am very rich, so why I don't feel at all happy?" The monk asked: "How rich are you?" The young man replied: "I have millions of dollars in the bank, plus three apartments in downtown Beijing." The monk silently held out his hand. The young man said: "Ah, you wish for me to give thanks for what I have!" The monk responded: "Nope. New money – let's be pals!"
Overturn the Three Outlooks
In late 2013, netizens began using this phrase, roughly equivalent to "Mind. Blown." to describe anything which forced them to reconsider their worldview – the Three Outlooks in Chinese tradition being one's outlook on life, morality and the physical world. When actress Yuan Shanshan appeared in public sporting a blonde "Medusa" hairstyle, for example, Internet users announced that this had overturned their Three Outlooks. Similarly, a digital simulation showing the effect of the gravitational pull of various heavenly bodies on the Earth was dubbed a map of the "Earth with its Three Outlooks overturned" by netizens.
My playmates and I were all dumbfounded.
When a school student was asked to give an account of the origins of China's traditional Dragon Boat Festival, a celebration honoring the Warring States era poet Qu Yuan (340-278 B.C.) who drowned himself after his country's downfall, he took the patriotism idea and really ran with it. Recasting Qu Yuan as a People's Liberation Army officer in a one-man engagement with the rival Kuomintang during the Chinese Civil War (1945-1949), he gave a dramatic account of his imagined heroism. "The battle lasted 10 days and eventually only Qu Yuan and a Kuomintang officer were left alive," the student wrote. "Qu Yuan shot the Kuomintang officer dead with his last bullet. 'Long Live Chairman Mao and the Communist Party,' he cried, and jumped into a river nearby. My playmates and I were all dumbfounded." "I am also dumbfounded," commented his teacher, giving rise to a new phrase for expressing surprise.

HILLSBORO, Ore. (AP) — The Washington County sheriff's office says an inmate hanged himself with a piece of cloth in the jail at Hillsboro.
The sheriff's office say 28-year-old Mario Alfredo Bautista-Garcia of El Salvador was alone in his cell Tuesday afternoon when a deputy found him unconscious. He could not be revived and was declared dead at the scene.
Bautista-Garcia was arrested May 15 when he was accused of stabbing two men at a bus shelter in Tigard.
The Oregonian reports (http://is.gd/cpZAGI ) he was not on a suicide watch and about half an hour had passed after an hourly check before he was found.

Construction set for Monday at intersection
A project to reconfigure the intersection of Leonardi and Davis streets, South Dixie Highway and Pellicer will begin 7:30 a.m. Monday.
Traffic may only access Leonardi Street from King Street until the project is completed in mid-August, according to St. Augustine's Department of Public Affairs. Traffic along the other three roadways will not be affected, but construction in the area may create periodic interruptions.
When the project is completed, the new configuration will allow traffic to flow uninterrupted along Pellicer Lane and South Dixie Highway. It will also make Davis and Leonardi streets safer, the department said.

Movie Interviews
Ed Harris Charts 'The Way Back' And The Path Ahead
Newmarket Films
In more than three decades onscreen, Ed Harris has played both valiant good guys and complicated bad guys — from the calm leader in Apollo 13 to the unhinged artist in Pollock.
In his latest film, The Way Back, he plays Mr. Smith, an American engineer who escapes from a Soviet gulag during World War II.
Harris talks with NPR's Neal Conan about his new movie, and how he has prepared for roles throughout his career.

A Sonnet
Cassandra Whittem
Deakin University
Black-bellied clouds roll in like ocean waves,
On angels' chariots of white washed light,
The vaulted ceiling of the sky they raze,
And seem to turn the light of day to night.
The lightning splits the sky with foul intent,
In a spidery hand across it scrawls,
And to the magic in the air it lent,
While violent wind and bitter cold rain brawls.
I stand upon my solitary hill,
Alone in wild abandon and fierce joy,
Better out here than at the windowsill,
Demanded to stop acting like a boy.
For boys and girls alike go wild sometimes,
We each have moments; this moment is mine.
Cassandra Whittem is possibly the most cynical, sarcastic and least romantic person that she knows. Luckily, her friends mistake this quite serious character flaw for an endearing quirk. She grew up in the US of A where she learned that colour was spelt without a U, Indians had nothing to do with India and it really is a bad idea to lick street-lamps after snowfall. She now lives in Highton with her imaginary friend, Tyler.

Mozart's Requiem: St. Stephen's Cathedral
Mozart's Requiem: St. Stephen's Cathedral
About the EventClose
Every year this concert represents a special event of the musical season at St. Stephen's Cathedral (Stephansdom) in Vienna. It has been a long tradition that the Vienna Dommusik commemorates the most famous parishioner of St. Stephen's on December 4th with a performance of Mozart's Requiem.
It was at the St. Stephen's that W.A. Mozart married Constanze Weber, had two of his children baptized and lay in state after his death. Although Mozart worked on the Requiem until a few hours before his death, he was only able to complete the first two movements. The remaining movements were by his student Franz Xaver Süßmayer.
The Innsbrucker Domchor and Corale Ludus Vocalis di Ravenna will perform under the baton of Christoph Klemm.
Please note:
The stage is not directly visible from seats in Category 3 and 4. The concert presenter recommend Categories 1-2 for the best view.

Mumbai, May 26 (IANS) Huma Qureshi is glad she has a mix of films like "Gangs Of Wasseypur" and "Ek Thi Daayan" in her kitty, and says working with a versatile actor like Emraan Hashmi in the latter movie has been an experience.
"Emraan is such a versatile actor. He is doing so many different movies -- from 'Jannat 2' to 'Shanghai' and now 'Ek Thi Dayaan' and 'Ghanchakkar'. He is very professional and is always on time," Huma told IANS.
The actress will make her debut with Anurag Kashyap's two-part series "Gangs Of Wasseypur", which received a positive response at the 65th Cannes International Film Festival earlier this week. The film is set to release June 22.
Meanwhile, she is also upbeat about "Ek Thi Daayan", directed by debutant Kannan Iyer, and co-produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and Vishal Bharadwaj Productions.
"'Ek Thi Daayan' is a supernatural psychological thriller. All my movies are so different and I feel so blessed to be able to work with these great directors and different production houses," she said.
The film also features Konkona Sen Sharma and Kalki Koechlin.
"Kalki is such a talented actress and I have been a fan of Konkona from the time I saw her in 'Mr. and Mrs. Iyer'. I feel so happy to be a part of this elite group," she added.

Veteran actor Om Puri, who will soon start shooting for "Jai Ho Democracy", says the film tries to bring forth political problems, albeit in a funny manner - almost similar to how "Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro" was years back.
"This is a political satire. We will keep (present) our views in a funny way and it will be about democracy. No one has been slammed in the movie, it has no vulgar way of telling the issue. But like 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro' was a satire on society, builders and corruption, it is similar with this movie," the 62-year-old said here Friday at the mahurat of the film.
Om Puri was also a part of the 1983 classic film. He played a builder named Ahuja.
"Jai Ho Democracy", being directed by Ranjit Kapoor, also stars Satish Kaushik, Annu Kapoor and Adil Hussain. Om Puri said the actors are chosen only because of their talent.
"All the actors in this movie are educated, they are not here because of their beauty. They are trained actors, from National School of Drama, Film and Television Institute of India. We are hopeful that we will be successful in our mission (of spreading the message)," he added.

Awesome place, awesome excursion. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and personable.
This tour was better than we could have ever expected. It ended up being a private tour with the guide and the two of us in a new Mercedes minibus. Our guide actually studied archaeology in college and worked for several years as an archaeologist at the Ephesus site. In addition to being a really nice guy he was obviously very knowledgeable about the site. We had a nice free lunch at an open air restaurant and then visited a carpet weaving site. It was very intereswting and they gave us no pressure to buy anything. This was the absolute best tour!
Excellent in all aspects. the guide, Al, was incredible - his knowledge was first class and his approach very professional. The itinerary was perfectly planned - St John's Basilica, Ephesus and Mary's house - enough time in each without overstretching it. Lunch was provided and was a delicious classic Turkish meal. We were dreading the carpet factory but it was different to the rest we've been to - no pressure, full of interesting information and time to browse. Would definitely use again.
Our small group experience was enhanced by our excellent guide and driver. Our vehicle was immaculate and well-maintained, with air conditioning adjusted immediately at our request. The historical/archaelogical sites were interesting and well-explained. Lunch at the Rug Factory was delicious and the introduction to Turkish rug history and production was entertaining. While we were urged to consider making a purchase, there were no uncomfortable, high pressure sales tactics. I recommend without reservation.
Our tour guy did a great job. Would recommend her to others.
Guler was terrific! As it turned out, there were only 6 of us in our tour group, so we had a VERY personal tour with her. We appreciated so much her willingness to be upfront with us about the political situation in Turkey, and in fact, she shared her own personal opinions, which made the tour even more meaningful to us as Americans. We enjoyed everything about the tour - Guler was very knowledgeable about all that we saw and did And Ephesus is not to be missed - a highlight of our Med cruise, for sure.
Excursion was my favorite of the trip! Our guide was terrific, knowledgeable and adaptable to some of our limitations finding shade, etc. Lunch was amazing, outside at a large table where they kept bringing food which was terrific. Highly recommend.
Our tour guide was very knowledgable.
Excellent small group tour. There were 8 of us on the tour and the guide was very good. He gave us much of history as a group, but plenty of time to walk around on our own for pictures. The lunch was good. The carpet tour was very interesting and eventually turned into a sales pitch, but they were not real pushy. It did not detract from the tour.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and patient with our large group. Lunch was a delicious sampling of Turkish food. Seeing the women weave the rugs was fascinating but the sales people were a little aggressive. Overall I would recommend this tour.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept us on time. I would definitely recommend this tour with this tour guide.
excellent tour all around. The sights in Ephesus are impressive and our guide was very informative and patient, made sure we cover the entire grounds. The lunch was of local food and was superb.
The Virgin Mary and St Johns Cathedral ruins were also spectacular.
Very highly recommend this tour
This tour is a MUST - we only had 6 people on our tour! Our guide was fantastic - she paid attention to the heat and uneven pavement for a person in the group who had a cane but did not hold the rest of us up. Extremely knowledgeable. The lunch was fantastic - taking us to a school that teaches rug making and only accommodates small tours.
This tour was the highlight of our cruise. Ephesus is an amazing place to visit. Gokce, our guide, spoke perfect English and gave us great information about all of the sites. We were the only 2 people on the tour. The lunch provided was delicious. I definately recommend this tour over the ship's your.
What an amazing place - it was like going back in a time machine to see so much well preserved Roman ruins! Our guide Sky was excellent - really knew her stuff and was passionate about Turkey! Even the tour and lunch at the carpet factory was fun! Viator - the best guides!
Bede Australia
This tour was amazing. The sights and history of Ephesus make this a must do tour.
This was an awesome tour! Our guide was great! Ephesus was an incredible highlight of our adventure
Tour was well planned guide was great attentive to our needs. Well paced excellent commentary we were delivered back to ship on time as agreed. No large bus just a small mini bus excellent value
This tour was really good. Our guide was extremely nice and informative. I was really impressed with the Ancient city of Ephesus. As a Catholic I was extremely moved by the House of Mary! It was my absolute favorite site in our 15 day trip to Europe.
Very good in all regards.
This tour was amazing!
Overall, this was the best tour I had. Our tour only had 9 people which made it pretty personal. And, the tour guide was AWESOME. She was a history graduate from Turkey and her knowledge was wonderful. Turkey is a county I WILL visit again. We also got to eat traditional Turkey food at a Turkish Carpet School after an outstanding demonstration from the Instructor and Students. They even had their own silk-work farm and we got to find out how to tell a female from a male silkworm!!!! Overall.......STUPENDOUS!
WOW! What an experience. We were picked-up right on time. Our guide knew everything about this great city and took time to to explain many of the little things we saw, but didn't understand.
Great experience with small group. Thanks

OS not as advertised
This review is from: Acer Desktop PC Veriton N VN281G-UA4252W (PS.VBGP3.003) Intel Atom D425 (1.80 GHz) 2 GB DDR3 500 GB HDD Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit
Pros: Easy to setup, mounts on the back of the users screens, No longer have to have a computer foot print on the floor. I have ordered older versions of these computers in the past couple of years and have had no issues. Wireless works well, with no antennae to break off.
Cons: I bought this particular computer because it was advertised as having a 32-bit OS installed. Which isn't a big deal to me, but our programmers are still having some 64 bit issues. So I buy the 32 bit systems to give them more time to work on the 64 bit issues with a test box that I built for them. I was quite surprised that when the boxes arrived on the side it states "Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (includes the right to switch to windows 7 32-bit)" So now I have to run the factory restore on every one of these to get them to 32 bit. Making the time to setup these machines take a lot longer now.
Other Thoughts: Should have been installed as advertised, or at least stated somewhere that they are pre-installed with 64 bit with an option for 32-bit.

perfect for needs
This review is from: Acer Desktop PC Veriton N VN281G-UA4252W (PS.VBGP3.003) Intel Atom D425 (1.80 GHz) 2 GB DDR3 500 GB HDD Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit
Pros: Comes with mounts and fits perfectly to the back of our Acer V173 monitors. I picked this up to help conserve space, plus they are cheaper than most thin clients. Has Win 7 pro, good RAM amount, and good HDD space (we wont be using much of it). For basic day to day users this is a great computer, plus a major space saver!
Cons: Is a bit painful to setup and has lots of bloatware (lost 1 egg due to this) 5400RPM hard drive, but I knew this going into it so no loss of eggs there. Not easy to take apart it seems. I have not tried to, but if one would like to upgrade the HDD is does not appear to be very easy.
Other Thoughts: All in all this is a good computer, It suits our needs very well. If your in need of a think client style computer go for this. It is a full computer, but not made for power users. Runs surprisingly well for what it is, but has some short comings. Buy this if your in need of a low end computer to get the day to day light work loads done, but for anything else look else where. As the 1st reviewer said this computer is 64-bit not 32, but all Win 7 licenses work for both 32 and 64-bit. If this is an issue I would suggest installing a fresh install of win 7 pro 32bit. Most IT depts should have a cd on hand to do so, if not they need to get one. Plus doing so would eliminate the Bloatware issue.

Slow, and NOT 32-BIT!
This review is from: Acer Desktop PC Veriton N VN281G-UA4252W (PS.VBGP3.003) Intel Atom D425 (1.80 GHz) 2 GB DDR3 500 GB HDD Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit
Pros: Very small. Has the option to attach to the VESA mounting holes on the back of your monitor, making it in effect an all-in-one PC, using zero desk space beyond what the monitor needs.
Cons: I have never used an Atom-cpu NetTop before -- are they all this slow? It took me like an hour to uninstall all the crapware, and not because there was a lot, just because each uninstaller ran excruciatingly slowly.
Other Thoughts: 3 eggs based on assuming I can get 32-bit Windows without having to buy it. I will take off an egg if that turns out to be wrong, stay tuned.

I need to run a cronjob every 14 days on a friday i. e. every second friday. Following is the closest I can think of:
0 10 */14 * 5
I think crontab would run this cronjob at 10:00 on the 14th and 28th day of a month (and that's not even every 14 days!) if this day is a friday. This condition would not be met every second friday, of course.
Any ideas?

Is there a future for baby boomers in IT?
Is there a future for baby boomers in the technology field? How useful will it be to have an MCSE certification?...

Thanks. At around 50 or so, most baby boomers are moving into the second half of their working lives. As an "older employee" you'll have to deal with many covert issues related to age discrimination. You can combat them by stressing your fitness, enthusiasm, willingness to learn and readiness to do "whatever it takes to get the job done."
If you want to work in technology, but have no meaningful prior experience, a certification will help to some degree, but perhaps there are better credentials to pursue than the MCSE. According to www.mcpmag.com, as of May 31, 2002, there were 470,906 MCSEs certified in this world. That's an awful lot of people -- many of them will have some experience to go with their MCSE, and many of them will have more meaningful credentials to bring to bear as well.
If you view certification as part of your pathway to employment and success, you might be better served by pursuing a specialty like security, protocol analysis or something with greater perceived value in the marketplace.
Also, I can't stress the importance of experience enough, either. Do some volunteer work, get a temp job, find ways to volunteer in your current position (if you're working right now) -- do whatever it takes to get some experience -- fast! Not only will it help you decide what you want to get certified in -- and if you decide you really want to be a Windows network administrator, then an MCSE might indeed make sense for you -- it will also make you a more credible job prospect in the future.
Good luck!

Well-Planned Work Surface The first
thing I noticed was Krome's relatively light
weight: substantial, but far from unwieldy.
Its sleek, slightly wedge-shaped profile is
more than an aesthetic choice; the display
and control panel are canted slightly forward
for a better viewing angle, especially onstage.
Generally speaking, I am more accustomed to
semi-weighted synth-action keyboards, but
Krome's weighted keys are easy enough to get used to. Another nice touch is the unit's
illuminated joystick; its light marks each axis,
making it easier to choose modulation or pitch
bend without moving too far afield when you
are on a darkened stage or dimly lit studio.
A pair of switches above the joystick let you
assign Control-Change messages, change
octaves, turn portamento or user modulation
sources on and off, and more. Switches glow
a bright blue when engaged, making it even
easier to take stock of operational status in the
heat of performance.
The realtime fun begins with a Select
switch that chooses the assignments of
four knobs: Tone (filter settings), a user-definable
set, and arpeggiator controls.
The Tone section offers enough control for
general realtime tweaking or major timbral
adjustments without getting deep into Krome's
considerable synthesis engine. Responses
to filter tweaks are smooth, and cutoff and
resonance changes are devoid of zipper noise.
The Arpeggiator controls let you adjust
the notes from a tight staccato to a smeared
legato, make the velocity varied or uniform,
and move from straight note values though
swing and all the way to dotted performance.
(You can adjust the number of steps in real
time.) A pop-up readout on the instrument's
generous display provides feedback on parameter adjustments. (Disable the pop-up
to tweak by ear.)
Next to the realtime knobs is a pair of Mode
buttons: Media, and Global. The former lets
you save and load sequencer and patch data to
SD cards, and the latter sets up transposition,
Master Tuning, and the Velocity Curve, and
much more. You can also toggle Krome's
effects on and off, which saves a lot of hunting
and pecking when printing tracks that may
favor outboard processing. Likewise, you can
toggle arpeggiators and drum tracks, which
are available for each and every patch. Krome
often provides several ways to accomplish the
same task: For instance, to turn features on and
off, use touchscreen switches in the display or
those on Krome's top panel. Change a value
by rotating the Value dial, using increment/
decrement buttons, or by dragging your finger
on the value in the display. It's hard to go
wrong, even if you're in a hurry.
Detail of the touchscreen.
Display of Power I've always gravitated
toward Korg's ergonomic workflow, and Krome's
generous, information-packed touchscreen ups
the ante immensely. The top level of the Program
display is a work of ergonomic art, allowing
access to the most important tweaks you might
want to grab, such as basic filter frequency and
resonance values or transposition. Tabs on the
screen let you get to just about any parameter,
with hopping between menu and page buttons
kept to a minimum.
Depending on the context, hitting the Page
button exposes Krome's deeper patch-editing
options for programs or combinations, global
parameters, sequence and pattern parameters,
and more. The beauty of the Page button is
that it is only a single page deep, and all related
parameters, such as tunings or MIDI setup
(in the Global Page, for instance) are accessed
from tabs nested in each page.
The touchscreen elevates Krome's onboard
sequencer into a class by itself, with the ability
to poke and grab individual notes in the pianoroll
screen and change pitch, duration, location,
and controllers. That makes it one of the few
onboard sequencers I wouldn't mind using.
Feed Your Muse Krome seems designed to
feed your muse from the get-go. Sometimes
the most inspiring song starters are in
Combination mode—and carefully layered,
split, switched, and processed combos are
difficult if not impossible to replicate in a keyboard sequencer, most of which operate on
a strict, single program-to-track basis. With a
single button press, Krome's Auto Song Setup
command will dutifully copy every one of the
combination's parameters, including splits
and effects routings, across multiple tracks,
which are simultaneously record-enabled. It's
a great solution to the muse-crushing task of
re-creating a combination part by part and
parameter by parameter.
Every patch has an accompanying
arpeggiator and drum pattern. The grooves are
well-mated with the patches, but a quick trip
to the display lets you find the patterns you're
looking for if you have something else in mind,
so it's just a little easier to quickly audition a
sudden inspiration against a rhythm track.
With nearly 4GB of samples, Krome covers
lots of ground ranging from conventional
pianos and brass to dance and electronic music
production and cinematic scoring. Most of the
piano sample data is derived from the Kronos
sample library, complete with unlooped, full-decay
samples covering the entire range of
the instrument; not a wobbly sustain loop or
a tweezed-sounding high note in the lot. The
Krome Grand Piano works just fine as a solo
instrument or centerpiece in a composition.
Among the electric pianos, I was hard pressed
to tear myself away from the E. Piano Mark
1 Phaser patch, which faithfully evoked the
sounds of Joe Zawinul and Don Grolnick.
Pads gravitate to the warm and delicate
side, ranging from more traditional, placid
beds to pads with all sorts of motion, including
tempo-synced filters, panning, and more.
Basses were full and punchy. I found a few
dubstep-type sounds in that category, but
there's a huge supply of timbres to customize
to taste. Some of the upright bass patches
(and there are a number of variations) are rich
and full, with a satisfying, throaty growl. The
drums (also derived from Kronos) are the best
I've heard in a keyboard workstation; thanks
to generous velocity layering, there's plenty of
variation from stroke to stroke. Mix and match
from a wide variety of kit pieces.
Krome Polish The effects setup in Krome is
about as flexible as those in any workstation
I've used, with six inserts, two master bus
effects, and a final, output-stage, Total
Effect. This function lets you treat sounds
individually so that edgy, distorted sounds can
sit alongside more pristine instruments with little compromise. The additional three bands
of EQ for up to 16 programs help everything
coexist peacefully.
As easy as it is to program from the
touchscreen, Krome ships with editor/
librarian software; the instrument's USB
connectivity rapidly syncs the instrument with
the editor, and changes made in the editor
are reflected on the touchscreen. Likewise,
tweaks from the keyboard update the editor.
The USB port also furnishes MIDI I/O to
your favorite DAW, and The Krome driver
showed up as an external instrument in Apple
Logic 9.1.8 without a hitch. If you need to
take your sequencer and patch data around
sans computer, you'll be grateful for the SD
card slot on the rear panel. With support for
capacities up to 32GB, you're more than likely
to have enough room for many set lists' worth
of patches, sequences, and MIDI files.
With so much to like about Krome, there
are a couple of compromises in moving an 88-
key instrument into a more affordable price
point. I might wish for more than a single
stereo pair of outputs, but the instrument's
versatile internal effects-busing capabilities
go a long way toward easing the pain when
you need to play dense sequences. I miss
Aftertouch as a more tactile and direct part of
a synthesizer's expressive modulation palette.
And it's not a big deal, but I question the
decision to opt for an 1/8" headphone jack over
the more traditional 1/4" output. Nevertheless,
the $1,599 street price is a big deal here, with
an 88-key, weighted-action instrument stuffed
with nearly 4GB of samples, prodigious effects
routing, and a user interface you can get tight
with quickly. All in all, I could easily rely
on the Korg Krome as a desert island synth,
with an abundant supply of sounds, plenty
of effects, a slick sequencer, and a workflow
second to none.
Marty Cutler is a former assistant editor
for Electronic Musician, a sound designer, and a
bluegrass banjo player of note (or many notes).
LIMITATIONS: No Aftertouch. Single
stereo output; 1/8" headphone jack.

The sound outside their Greenwood home was like nothing he'd heard before, and by the time he reached the back door, he saw something attacking their dog.
John Durbin banged the back door, trying to get a coyote — the first they had ever seen outside their home — to drop 7-pound Buddy. The coyote ran away, and Carolyn Durbin picked up her wounded Yorkshire terrier and took him to a veterinarian, who found he had broken ribs and bites on much of his neck.
Buddy survived, but since the attack in October, Carolyn Durbin has heard of about 10 other coyote attacks in Alden Place, her neighborhood on the southwest side of Greenwood. And for some of her neighbors, their dogs were killed or vanished.
Police have been getting reports of coyote sightings and attacks on pets for years.
This year, in preparation for winter — when coyotes' typical food sources, such as rabbits and mice, aren't as available — the Greenwood Police Department was proactive in providing information about the city's coyote population. The department created a new website tracking coyote sightings and attacks and posted fliers at veterinary offices and pet grooming businesses in the city, Greenwood Police Chief John Laut said.
The flier warns that coyotes are attacking pets in Greenwood and directs residents to the police department website to report sightings and attacks on dogs, cats, ducks and other pets. The goal is to keep people posted on where coyotes are often spotted so they can protect their pets, Laut said.
During mating season, which is also in the winter, coyotes find dens near their food sources and don't tend to leave an area unless they lose their food supply, he said.
Nearly 170 coyote attack and sighting reports have come from people in Greenwood and the
Center Grove area since the website was launched Dec. 4. The police department hasn't tracked attacks and sightings in the past and doesn't know if that's an increase over last year, he said.
The new map, which is updated daily, has gotten more than 25,000 visits so far.
Jeff Udrasols, a veterinarian at Meridian Veterinary Clinic & Hospital in Greenwood, can't remember many patients in past years that coyotes had attacked, but he doesn't think that means attacks are now more frequent, he said. Concern about coyotes seems to be growing, so pet owners go to the vet more aware that a coyote could've hurt their dog, he said.
In 2013, the vet clinic treated three dogs that were attacked by coyotes, and Buddy was the only survivor, he said.
The police department flier is hanging at the clinic because the staff wants to help pet owners keep their animals safe, he said.
Nothing new
The issue isn't new to the city. In 2012, the Greenwood City Council considered banning feeding of squirrels, birds and other animals to help reduce food sources for coyotes in the city. The ban fell through, and the police department can't do much to manage the coyote population beyond suggesting ways to keep pets safe, Laut said.
Residents in the city are not allowed to shoot coyotes, but if they call the police about an aggressive coyote, officers can kill it. In December, an officer shot a coyote that appeared to be stalking three homes where small dogs lived, Laut said. The coyote was sitting in a yard during the day and didn't seem frightened of the officers, he said.
"If a coyote is not fearful of humans, then it's a danger," he said.
Knowing surroundings
If homeowners know where coyotes have snatched pets or been spotted, then they can stay with their dogs when they take them outside at night, he said. They also can make sure they're not attracting coyotes by providing a source of food, such as open trash cans or a dog's food bowl, he said.
Durbin no longer lets her dog go out in the yard alone. She also carries a flashlight with her when she takes Buddy out because she's heard that bright lights and noise, such as the banging door, scare coyotes, she said.
The attack on her dog occurred about 7:30 a.m., and that worried Durbin because young children in the neighborhood were standing outside at bus stops, she said.
The police department hasn't gotten reports of coyotes attacking people but have increasingly heard of pets that have vanished or were left bloodied in their yards, Laut said.
The reports have come from all across the city, from Old Town to the more rural southwest side, Greenwood Police Sgt. Doug Roller said.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- An autistic Rochester man who grabbed national headlines by scoring 20 points in four minutes in his only high school game has completed his first marathon and qualified for an even bigger race.
Jason McElwain completed the MVP Health Care Rochester Marathon in 15th place in 3 hours, 1 minute, 41 seconds.
The Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester reports that the time Sunday qualifies the 23-year-old supermarket baker, known as J-Mac, for the Boston Marathon. He hopes to run in Boston in 2014.
"This was a great experience -- hardest thing I've ever done," he told the newspaper.
J-Mac was the student manager of the Greece Athena High School team when he came off the bench in 2006 to hit six 3-pointers and two free throws in four minutes. Video of his scoring spurt went viral, and he was the subject of national news stories and was honored with the Best Sports Moment award at the 2006 ESPYS.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — State Sen. Phil Rockefeller is retiring from the Senate and moving to the Northwest Power and Conservation Council.
The Democrat from Bainbridge Island said Wednesday he will leave his seat in June to accept an appointment from Gov. Chris Gregoire. He is scheduled to start as a council member in July, with the appointment lasting until 2014.
Gregoire says Rockefeller has worked tirelessly to safeguard and enhance the state's environment.
The council is tasked by Congress with developing long-term power plans that balance the region's energy and environmental needs. Rockefeller will replace Dick Wallace, who announced earlier this year that he would leave the panel.

May 24, 2016
In health news this Wednesday, one local family tells a very personal story.
A year and a half ago, Romeo Hill, a Fort Braden Middle Schooler, was overweight and diagnosed with diabetes, but today he and his mom have something to smile about, and here's why.
Although it ran in Georgette Carthon's family, it was still a shock when her son Romeo was diagnosed with diabetes in August of 2003.
Georgette says, "I just didn't pay close attention to the symptoms until after he was diagnosed."
But that was the last time Georgette would let something slip by her. She says immediately she and her family made a change with the help of TMH diabetes educators. Now 15 years old, Romeo has a lot to be proud of: losing 50 pounds.
Romeo says, "It feels good because I can wear smaller clothes, smaller everything."
Because of the dedication both Romeo and his mom showed, he is off of insulin, taking only pills.
Roberta Stevens, TMH Diabetes Educator, says, "I think the family aspect is the most important thing. Without Georgette it wouldn't have happened."
