TO: Mrs. Donna Antonucci
My Most Inspiring Teacher
Teaching, to me, is a profession which requires passion and true dedication on the part of the individual who chooses to become a part of it. A good teacher challenges students to use critical and innovative thinking and equips them with the knowledge and skills needed to achieve or enhance their career goals. Good teachers also prepare their students to become leaders and motivate them to become competent, productive citizens. Throughout my educational journey, I am fortunate to have been inspired by a number of teachers who meet this description; however, I choose Mrs. Donna Antonucci as the teacher who has best exemplified these characteristics to me. I have been privileged to have Mrs. Antonucci, affectionately known as "Mrs. Nooche", as an instructor for Biology, Cell Biology and Anatomy. She is not only my teacher but a mentor and a friend.
Among the many attributes that I admire about Mrs. Antonucci, is her courage to stand up for her beliefs. Everyone knows her political views and concerns on various issues. She is an environmentalist who is deeply concerned about pollution, the environment and improving the community in which we live. She is best known for her knowledge of subject matters and views which are candidly expressed in her unique high-pitched voice and laugh. Mrs. Antonucci comes to school everyday with a story to tell. As a member of the Citizen Advisory Board for the Savannah River Site, she shares and integrates life lessons into the curriculum. She is fun to be around; yet, assures that students challenge themselves to their fullest potential. I turn to Mrs. Nooche when I need advice and no matter how busy, she is there to listen.
Because of her creative teaching style, expertise and mastery of the sciences, I am motivated to further my education in the field of Biology. As I continue on my educational journey, I will always be up-lifted by her courage, inspired by her wisdom and grateful for the personal impact that she has had on my life. When I think about Mrs.
Nooche, I am reminded of the quote "To teach is to touch a life forever".

Russia: G8 Snub 'Counterproductive'
March 25, 2014 10:21 AM
Russia has dismissed as "counterproductive" a move by world powers to cut Moscow out of the Group of Eight industrialized nations over its actions in Ukraine.
The spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin made the comment one day after the seven other G8 nations agreed to hold their own Group of Seven summit in June instead of attending the previously-planned G8 meeting in Russia.
In a joint statement issued on the sidelines of a nuclear security summit in The Hague, Netherlands, the leaders of the U.S., Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan said they were suspending their participation with Russia in the G8, until Moscow "changes course." Western powers have been moving to isolate Russia over its annexation of the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine.
Russian news agencies quote the Kremlin spokesman as saying Russia is ready for and interested in continuing contacts with its fellow G8 countries. But Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday it would be "no great tragedy" if Russia were dropped from the coalition.
Also Tuesday, Ukrainian lawmakers fired acting defense minister Igor Tenyukh after he offered to step down because of criticism that he mishandled the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Crimea. Ukraine ordered its troops to leave the region on Monday, about a week after Russian troops began moving into military bases in the region.
Tenyuhk said only 4,300 out of the 18,800 Ukrainian troops that were stationed in Crimea have decided to keep their Ukrainian military positions and evacuate the region. Some have elected to join Russian forces.
The United States Tuesday reaffirmed its commitment to the Ukrainian leadership. In a joint statement, the two countries described Russia's attempt to annex Crimea as "illegal" and vowed not to recognize the move. The statement said Russia's actions "undermine the foundation of the global security architecture and endanger European peace and security."
On Monday, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu toured Russian military headquarters in Crimea, as Russian forces seized Ukraine's last military base on the peninsula and Ukrainian forces withdrew.
Ukraine's acting president, Oleksandr Turchynov, ordered the withdrawal in the face of a much larger Russian military presence on the peninsula. He said the move is a response to threats by Russian forces on the lives of Ukrainian service members and their families.
Late Monday, Russia's RIA Novosti news agency quoted Crimea's deputy prime minister as saying all military units in the peninsula are now under the control of the Russian military.
Ukraine's secretary for national security, Andriy Parubiy, told VOA that about 100,000 Russian troops and armor are poised along Ukrainian borders and remain on full alert.
That troop presence on Ukraine's eastern and southern borders has triggered alarm in Kyiv. It also has spawned warnings from NATO that Moscow may be seeking to expand its territorial reach into another pro-Russian territory on Ukraine's southwestern border -- Transdniester.
For its part, Moscow has insisted the border troops are conducting maneuvers, and says there are no plans to cross into Ukraine.
Ukraine has remained highly unstable since November, when then-President Viktor Yanukovych backed off from signing a trade agreement with the European Union in favor of closer ties with Russia. The move led to weeks of anti-government protests in Kyiv that forced Mr. Yanukovych to flee the country last month.
Crimeans voted last week in a highly controversial ballot to secede from Ukraine and join the Russian Federation, a move quickly embraced by Russian President Putin. The United States and the European Union say the vote violates Ukraine's constitution and is illegal.

williams co Sandersons
Looking for any info on the Sanderson family
that lived in williams co in 1860-1861
John Sanderson and Clarissa (Clara) and any
of their children. John died in 1861 and was
burried in the Hagaman Cemetery on territorial road in Amboy twp Hillsdale co Mi
these Sandersons came from Hillsdale co mi from Jefferson co Ny around 1850. I don't believe they are related to the sandersons
that came from Greene Co Oh where i now live.
I also believe the Sandersons in steubin co in are from the Greene county Sandersons and
some of their migrated to Ut. some of the
Sandersons married Hagamans,Hunderfords,
ostranders, and hukills amoung others in
Hillsdale co. Don't know why they sold their
land and moved to williams co unless John was
sick and came to williams co to live with
a son or daugther. the family moved to Isabella co Mi after Johns death in 1861.

Your arguments against him are pretty poor. His +/- may be -4, but he also plays on a team where more than half the players are in the negatives. It's not a very good stat to use in this situation.
Ribeiro would be a great fit IMO. He hits, he's a great playmaker, and he could help improve the PP. He has 5 PPG and 10 PPA so far. Switch Kane with Hossa and both lines would have someone who's a beast at setting people up.

Julia Pastrana: The True Story of the Hybrid Bear Woman. Also Known As The Ugliest Woman In The World
A unique woman
Julia Pastrana was born in 1834. She arrived, steeped in mystery, and her life was as strange and sad as her birth. She was believed to have been born within a small tribe of Native Americans on the western slopes of Mexico. Not a lot is known about her early childhood, but she first appeared in public, when, in 1854, she was brought out and exhibited at the Gothic Hall on Broadway. The name she was billed under was a cruel and sad insult to her condition. Known as the marvelous hybrid or Bear Woman, others called her The Ugliest woman in the World. Her handler or owner was named as a Mr M. Rates and he saw the potential in her the second he found her, working as a servant girl to the governor of Sinaloa Mexico. Realising that she would earn him lots of money, he decided to start showing her to the public, A quote from the time stated her as, The Great Freak of Nature. The newspapers of the day said she was hideous, but in her favour she had a very nice singing voice.
To the publics eye, she did have a very strange appearance. Her body was covered in hair, and her face even more so. A Jutting jaw, and very swollen gums added to her appearance. At four and a half feet, she was also said to look very like an ape in features. But she had dignity. Standing in front of an audience of thousands, Julia looked down at the audience and sang in a most beautiful voice. She had great poise. She was aware of the fact that she was different, but used her small frame and powerful persona to her advantage.
The scientists of the day thought that she was a hybrid between human and orangutan, and believed that they had found a missing link.
After moving to Cleveland with another new promoter, J.W. Beach, Julia began to turn the tide around and, charming the public with her grace, she began to get very well known, even being invited to grand balls and military gala's. On one of these occasions, she was given the honour of dancing with the soldiers, who lined up to have the chance to dance with this unique but strange human being.
Soon she began to travel all around America, and when she arrived in Boston she was billed as the 'Hybrid Woman, or The Bear Woman. Others called her the Bearded lady. By this time, curiosity had began to turn towards admiration, and she was invited to the Horticultural Society and the Boston History society.
England became aware of her and stated in the newspapers at the time, she is an amazing oddity, and promptly started to call her The Nondescript, which is similar to what we say today as unexplainable. The newspapers couldn't get enough of her and when they realised that not only was she a very good singer but she could also speak several different languages, including Spanish and English, they were astonished.
She had a great thirst for knowledge and willingly gave herself up to medical examination. Money didn't interest her at all.
By this time she was being 'shown' by a Mr Theodore Lent who became, in a sense her manager, helping her with her dancing and singing on stage. Soon she became better known on stage than just being a 'Freak', as they used to call people like her. But she was anything but a freak, she could cook and sew, sing romance songs, and even better, hold an intelligent conversation which impressed the gentry, in a time when women were not treated as intelligent human beings.
Fame in Berlin
After the adulation in London, Julia began a tour In Berlin Germany, which both changed her appearances from freak show, to Stage actress. She appeared in a play called Der Curierte Meyer, which was a cross between a love story and a comedy. By this time she had received many marriage proposals, and when asked why she had never married, she replied that they were not rich enough. This Idea came from Lent, who suddenly realised that if he didn't want to lose her, he had better marry her himself. In 1857 they married, and even though Julia was quite fond of Lent, he treated her appallingly. Taking her to scientists and Doctors, they examined her without any dignity afforded to the poor girl. By the time they got to Vienna, she wasn't allowed out in the daylight, because Lent was embarrassed to be seen with her. Mr lent became more and more aggressive, and by the time they had toured through Poland and Russia, Julia realised that she was pregnant. This was a disaster. Not only would she have to take time off, and lose money, from the tours, but Lent panicked because he thought she might die. And then where would that leave him? He Took her to many different Doctors who were afraid that she would not be able to have the child naturally because they believed her hips would be malformed.
On March 20th 1860, Julia gave birth to a baby boy. He was covered in hair. All Julia could think of was, please be healthy and not have a personality like your father. Sadly the child died after thirty five hours.
Julia's time was coming to an end. Complications during the birth left her weak and drained. Only five days later, Julia was dead.
Horrendous Treatment of a Legend
You would think that after she had died, Julia would have been given a dignified funeral, and treated like the lady she was. But it was not to be. Her husband would not let go of her earning potential that easily. Lent sold her corpse and her baby son, to a professor of Moscow university. He dissected them and then mummified them so that they could be put on display. After a few months perfecting the process, he put them in the Museum of the university, where they attracted great crowds of people.
Was this the end? No.
Lent realised what had happened and much to the public horror, he took the awful and unbelievable steps to go to court to win her back. He succeeded. In 1862 Julia returned to England. Displayed and humiliated, she was dressed in one of her dancing dresses.
Her son was placed on a pedestal and displayed, wearing a sailor suit.
The crowds came in their thousands, paying up to a shilling to look at this poor woman and her baby son. Unbelievable.
From University to museum, from curiosity stands, to freak shows, Julia was passed around and around. Eventually Lent got fed up of It and hired her out to the person who would pay the most for the privilege.
But it doesn't finish here. Oh no. Lent unbelievably went on to marry another woman who looked liked Julia, and after a while he then made claim to the fact that his new wife was Julia's sister. He named her Zenora Pastrana. If that was not bad enough, he then returned to the museum where Julia was being exhibited, and took her on tour with him and his new wife. One big happy family then.

- What If Werewolves Were Real?
This is a review of a series of novels. The idea of werewolves goes back centuries, built on fear, prejudice and ignorance of both natural phenomena and human deformities.
What goes round comes around.
Eventually, Lent and his new bride retired to St. Petersburg, and set up shop in a small waxworks museum.
Then, unexpectantly, Lent had a mental breakdown and ended up in the towns local mental sanatorium. His wealth meant nothing. He was never going to be able to enjoy it. Shortly after, he died.
Zenora, his bride, carried on touring with the mummies, and then eventually married a much younger man.
Julia's mummie disappeared over the next few decades. She appeared again in Hitlers Germany where she was put on display in the occupied territories.
In the fifties and sixties, the mummies were displayed, mainly as a curiosity. Not many people believed that these mummies could possibly be real.
So we come to the end. Or do we? There is so much more to this story, but in a nutshell, Julia and her baby were passed from person to person, country to country, until one day in 1976, the storage facility where Julia was being kept, was broken into and vandalised. The baby was torn to pieces. Julia was then moved and the same thing happened again.
Julia disappeared.
Then in 1990, Julia was eventually found in the basement of the Institute of Forensic Medicine, in Oslo, Norway. It is still there.
Maybe our compassion and moral sense now realise that not only was she a unique woman, but with her quiet dignity and poise, and our disgust at our own human nature, makes us ignore her, and shut the door on our shame.
One day and I hope very soon, she will be buried with dignity, and a statue will be erected to show us all, this woman of courage.
Latest News - Julia Comes Home
At last Julia has been laid to rest in her home state of Sinaloa De Leyva in Mexico on Tuesday 12th February 2013. After a Roman Catholic Mass in a local church Julia's coffin was carried to the town cemetary and buried as a band played the local traditional music.
Saul Rubio Ayala the local mayor of her town stated 'Julia Pastrana has come home'. He went on to say ' Julia has been reborn among us, let us never see another woman be turned into an object of commerce'.
I am so pleased that at last she is at peace. To be returned to the home of her birth is something that we should all be thankful for. At last Julia Pastrana has come home.

I read this with deep sadness. It took all those years for that poor woman to have a decent burial, but the baby could not. Humanity is disgraceful.
Great writing of an amazing story.
I guess i am a few years behind but i am glad i stumbled onto your hubpage. Amazing story. It seems she is very self assured despite her fate and circumstances and made the best of her situation.
Hi Nell, I am late reading this but I enjoyed this interesting hub. I had read quite a bit about Julia Pastrana before ina book "Very pecial People" but not as in depth as you provide here. It is good to know she was eventually returned home for a dignified burial she deserved.
Very interesting Hub Nell Rose, reading about personalities pend down by you is simply a fascination. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, Nell Rose. You always find the most interesting people to write about. I also admire her and think she must have been such an amazing lady. It is such a shame how people will treat those different.

VIDEO: Al Ahly suffer shock defeat to Jordan's Faisaly in Arab Championship opener
Egyptian champions Al Ahly fell to a surprise 1-0 home defeat to...
The national Supreme Administrative Court has ordered the dissolution of the Egyptian Football Association's board of directors.
Ahmed El-Shazly, head of the Supreme Administrative Court, issued a ruling that requires the dissolution of the EFA. This occured as a result of a complaint issued by Dr. Magda El Helbawi and Hermas Radwan, former candidates in the EFA elections, regarding the invalidity of the elections held in 2012.
The new elections are expected to be held next September, and Tharwat Sweilam is expected to be an interim president for the remaining five months. Current president Gamal Allam has warned that the FA will take the legal route, and that it will probably lodge a complaint with FIFA for 'government interference in football'.
READ: Chad announce withdrawal from AFCON qualification
Minister of Youth and Sports Khaled Abdel-Aziz has revealed that the ruling will not be effective until after the African Cup of Nations qualifier match against Nigeria on Tuesday.
"We will wait until the Nigeria match is played, and then we will evaluate the situation; we are doing this to protect Egyptian football from sanctions due to of government interference," he expressed.
El Helbawi also reiterated her claims regarding the alleged forgery during the previous elections.

Offseason Notes for January 20th
Some footage of Alex Cobb versus a Triple-A offense.
Table of Contents
Here's the table of contents for today's edition of Offseason Notes.
1. A Single Headline Concerning Alex Cobb
2. Results: For or Against: Phillies First Basemen
3. Third Thing: Video of Angel prospect Johnny Hellweg
A Single Headline Concerning Alex Cobb
Cobb Confident He Can Compete in Majors
Young Tampa Bay right-hander Alex Cobb has "the confidence now to know that [he] can compete" in the majors, MLB.com's Bill Chastain reports. Basically every projection system suggests agrees with Alex Cobb.
To wit:
System FIP Bill James 3.14 Fans 3.66 ZiPS 3.75 RotoChamp 3.86 OLIVER 3.87
For or Against: Phillies First Basemen
Yesterday, in response to Ruben Amaro's announcement that Ty Wigginton would get the majority of the early season starts at first base in the injured Ryan Howard's absence, I asked the readership who they would like to see starting at first for Philadelphia. Multiple "For" answers were permitted, hence the overlap in numbers.
Here are the results:
Jim Thome 63.2% Street Children 58.1% John Mayberry 53.9% Ty Wigginton 17.1%
• Amaro noted that Thome would get occasional starts at first base, as well. At 41, he's unlikely physically unable to fill anything close to a full-time role, however.
• As noted yesterday, Ty Wigginton is likely worth about 0.5 WAR every 600 plate appearances. Thome is probably worth two wins per 600. If, in Howard's absence, Wigginton gets 160 plate appearances (as a first baseman) to Thome's 40, both players would likely finish with the same WAR — somewhere between 0.1 and 0.2 WAR. Say, 0.3 WAR combined. Over 200 plate appearances, Howard is worth probably worth about 0.8 WAR. The Phillies would lose about half a win in Howard's absence, then, with this arrangement.
• Street Children would likely not play as well as Ty Wigginton. They would, however, be more adorable.
Third Thing: Video of Angel Prospect Johnny Hellweg
We discussed Angel right-handed prospect Johnny Hellweg a couple days ago in the Notes. The salient details: he throws very hard and improved his command considerably last year after joining the rotation.
Here's some footage of Hellweg, courtesy Steve Fiorindo of Bullpen Banter:

The Holstein has a huge reputation as a jumping horse and, this year, the Holsteiner studbook (Verband der Züchter des Holsteiner Pferdes — the association of breeders of Holstein horses) is (once again) the number one in the WBFSH rankings for jumping.
Because of their power, Holstein horses are normally the choice of professional showjumpers. The prolific competition and breeding stallion Casall Ask (Caretino-Lavall I), the number one in the world, Nick Skelton's former ride Carlo (Contender-Cascavalle) and Robert Whitaker's current grand prix winner Catwalk VI (Colman-Corleone) are Holsteiners.
More recently, eventing horses have also started coming out of Holstein: Leonidas (Landos-Parco xx), sixth at Burghley last year with Sir Mark Todd, is a Holsteiner and the studbook holds fourth place in the studbook rankings.
By contrast, Holsteiners are not common in dressage. However, there are several well-known dressage horses that have been bred in Holstein. All time legends Granat and Corlandus were both Holsteins as was Carl Hester's former ride Leibling, with whom he won team silver in 2009, although he too was originally bred for jumping.
One of the reasons for the success of the Holstein is because it has been selectively bred to produce a strong, powerful, athletic horse with a relatively high knee action. These traits are the remnants of the Holstein's ancestry as a prized cavalry horse and later a strong coach and artillery horse whose high, ground-covering action gave them the ability to pull whatever the terrain.
The Holstein region is situated in Germany's northern-most state and the history of the horse goes back to the 14th century when monks at the monastery of Uetersen were given the rights to graze horses. From the small native horses, the monks bred up to produce larger horses more suited for agriculture and, later, the cavalry. The Holstein became a prized possession even by royalty — King Philip II of Spain (1527-1598) bought Holsteiners for his stud at Cordoba. In 1735, the newly founded Celle State Stud in Hanover procured 13 Holstein stallions, which contributed to the foundation lines of the Hanoverian.
One of Germany's great horse breeds, the Holstein was much in demand to pull artillery wagons during the two World Wars. Holstein breeders had to give their best stallions to the State Stud (founded in 1867), to assist farmers in breeding the horses required for the war. By the end of the WWII, however mechanisation began to take over and many Holstein mares were sent to slaughter, no longer needed, while many farmers gave up breeding. By 1961, only about 1300 mares remained and the Government dissolved the State Stud. The board of Directors of the Verband bought the remaining 33 state-owned stallions, becoming the most important stallion owner in Schleswig-Holstein. Stallions are still owned by the Verband and they now reside at the central stud in Elmshorn, which was founded in 1894.
As elsewhere in Europe, Holstein breeders began to use thoroughbred blood to lighten the breed in order to produce riding horses. The English-bred Cottage Son (1944) and Ladykiller (1961), and the Irish-bred Marlon (1958) all played an important role in remodelling the Holstein. Ladykiller, so revered by the Verband that his statue now stands at the stable entrance in Elmshorn, sired 35 approved stallions, among them 'stallion of the century' Landgraf I, while daughters of Cottage Son produced the influential sires Lord and Ramiro.
Another crucial import was Cor de la Bryere (1968), by the French-bred Thoroughbred Rantzau. Bought from France as a three-year-old, he died in 1999 at the age of 31 leaving more than 60 approved sons and many premium mares. Subsequently, many Holstein stallions have names beginning in the letters 'C' or 'L' due to the dominance of male lines perpetuated by Ladykiller and Cor de la Bryere and many of the C-line horses are grey.
The Holstein Verband operates a 'closed' stud book, meaning it rarely takes in stallions from other studbooks and only grades stallions based on proven ability. Stallions owned by the Verband still cover many of the 6,000 Holstein broodmares, which currently breed a modest 4,000 foals a year.
In the UK, the Yorkshire-based Millfield Stud breeds Holstein horses with several of its mares from Holstein C lines. The Billy Stud's popular jumping and event sire Cevin Z, (Coriall-Carthago) is also of well-known Holstein bloodlines — and he is grey.

A coyote's howls on the prairie of a Western movie can help set the atmosphere as much as a Saguaro cactus or desert mountains, but to hear the animal's call in an urban backyard such as a Baton Rouge subdivision can be unnerving.
Homeowners in Iberville Terrace subdivision near Bluebonnet Boulevard and Perkins Road received notices on their mailboxes Wednesday evening warning of a pack of coyotes living in the woods between their neighborhood and Lakeside subdivision.
The coyote sightings raised concerns among residents about personal safety and the well-being of small pets, but experts say people have little to fear.
The sightings and reports of disappearing cats, both stray and pets, prompted the hiring of a trapper to try to capture and relocate the coyotes to somewhere less urban.
Janet Rhodus, president of the Iberville Terrace Homeowners Association, said she became concerned after feral cats she had spayed and neutered started disappearing from the three sites where she was feeding them.
One of the cats was found injured, and a veterinarian said the injury looked like a fox or coyote attack.
"In the middle of the night, it sounds like hundreds (of coyotes)," she said.
As more construction keeps encroaching on the coyotes' habitat, she said, the problem will only get worse.
"The sightings are astonishing. Coyotes cross Highland Road nightly," she wrote in an email. "This is a parishwide problem and there should be a task force in place to address this issue in heavily populated areas."
In the past year, she said, the neighborhood has had about 100 cats disappear.
"We're taking away their habitat, and they're starving to death," Rhodus said of the coyotes.
Not exactly, said wildlife and animal control experts.
"No, they're not starving," said Jim LaCour, state wildlife veterinarian at the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. "They can make a living just about anywhere."
However, what coyotes will do is go for the easiest calories they can find, whether that's rodents, pet food left outside or a neighborhood cat.
"As far as personal safety, coyotes have attacked people, but it's extremely rare," LaCour said. In the past decade, there has been only one attack documented in New York, and it was discovered later that it was in an area where people had been feeding the animal, which made it lose its fear of humans.
"Realistically, the risk to humans is minimal," LaCour said.
The problem that would need to be reported immediately is if a coyote loses its fear of people and fails to run away when it encounters a person.
Henry Wimbley, superintendent of Alexandria Animal Control and president of the Louisiana Animal Control Association, agreed.
"I've worked many dog bites, but I've never worked a coyote attack, and I've been in this business for more than 20 years," Wimbley said. "The facts kind of speak for themselves."
Coyotes are so adaptable and can eat so many different types of things, from mice to berries, that there's no need for them to go into residential areas, Wimbley said.
If a coyote is coming into a residential area, that usually means there is something drawing it to the area.
"We think we're feeding the cat, but we're actually feeding coyotes," Wimbley said. If a coyote knows that cats will be concentrated in a general area for feed time, that's makes for easy pickings. "Oftentimes, what I find is that people create the problem and then call you to solve the problem."
In addition, sometimes coyotes get the blame for disappearing pets when there are other forces at work, including owls and disease.
"I wouldn't put it all on the coyotes," Wimbley said.
Some of those tips include making sure garbage cans are secure, feeding pets inside and not outside and ensuring that small pets are watched carefully when they're outdoors.
"We've got to learn how to live with them," Wimbley said. "If there's no reason to come (to a neighborhood), they'll stay in their own habitat."
There have been a number of homeowners associations around the state that have hired professionals to trap nuisance coyotes, but it can be tough.
"Trapping coyotes is extremely difficult. They're extremely intelligent," LaCour said.
In addition, if a particular family unit is captured and relocated, it opens up that territory for another family unit to move in, he said. The coyotes usually live in a family unit, which can claim 300 to 400 acres.
Coyotes have been expanding all over the United States and into cities, said Don Reed, wildlife specialist with the LSU Agriculture Center. The secret of the animals' success is how adaptable they are to all kinds of habitats and food sources, and they can be active during the day or the evening, depending on what works best for their situation.
"We're seeing them in all major cities," Reed said.
In Cook County, Illinois, there is an Urban Coyote Research Project that has been tracking city dwellers and has found coyotes living happily with most, not causing a problem, even in downtown Chicago.
"Coyotes have not been known to cause big, big problems for cities," Wimbley said.
However, keeping those problems at bay will mean people need to adjust their habits to keep food and the attraction to residential areas to a minimum.

How can I save a partially completed form and come back to finish completing it later?Asked by jricheson on February 14, 2014 at 11:08 AM
What you need is to allow your user to start completing your form but if they cannot complete the whole form at once they can get back to complete the form at a later date, is tha correct?
If so, let me tell you that yes, it is possible. All you need to do is to enable our Autofill feature. Please follow these steps to enable it:
1. While editing Your Form Find and Click "Setup and Embed"
2. Find and Click "Preferences"
3. On Preferences Tab, find and click "Advance Settings"
4. On Advance Settings tab, find and click "Edit Auto Fill Settings"
5. Set to "Enable" and choose "Time" interval to save changes.
You can find these instructions at this guide: How to Enable Auto Fill Feature | Save Form Entries to Continue Later
I hope this helps. Please inform us if you need further assistance with this inquiry.
I made the changes that were suggested below and this works great for one form entry. What about if I need to have multiple form entries in process (in various states of completeness) at the same time? Is there any way that I can save multiples forms as partially complete and then access the appropriate form at a later time/date?
Please let me know.

We have an alternative Save and Continue Later method:
How to Save Forms to Continue Later
It is based on two forms, page breaks, and unique sessions links. With this method you or your users will be able to use session links to access partially saved entries.
Note, these Session and Autofill methods are not compatibe between each other, so that you can use only one of them on the form.
Additionaly, submitted entries can be edited with edit links:
