This week I am posting my weekly entry a bit early because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
On Friday evening, we had a St. Andrew's Dinner at St. John's Seminary in Brighton. Young men from several parishes came for the holy hour and the vespers with the seminarians.
The Group from St. Michael Parish in Avon
Afterward, we had dinner with them, and three seminarians gave witness talks about their vocations. Then, I addressed the young men, talked about vocations and answered some of their questions.
As we were leaving the seminary, we ran into a Portuguese group, a rancho foclorico, from St. Anthony Parish in Cambridge.
They were at the seminary for an ethnic party, and all the young children were dressed up in their costumes and had castanets. They sang a couple of songs for us, which was very enjoyable.

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the Youth Ministry Awards, held at Lombardo's in Randolph Nov. 16, but I understand it was a great success. Father Chris O'Connor, vice-rector of St. John's, spoke about Gospel Road, a summer service program for youth. Father Richard Erikson, vicar general and moderator of the curia, gave the keynote address about the difficulty of living morally and the importance of setting an example for others.
St. Timothy Award recipients Brendan Casey, David Cronin, Kristen Gagalis and Jillian Wioncek
Those who have excelled in youth ministry, young adult ministry and CYO Sports were honored for their service. Sixty-five people, including many youth, were honored in a dozen categories.
John Capone and Joyce Pinney received the Companions on the Journey Award
Father Ed Riley received the Don Bosco "Friend of the Youth Award"
It is very encouraging that so many young people are giving their talents for the service of God's people. As I mentioned last week, at our last bishop's conference, we put out a document on stewardship, "Stewardship and Teenagers: The Challenge of Being a Disciple", that calls young people to discipleship. They are asked to engage their talents to serve God and His people.
The document, published in both English and Spanish, quotes Pope Benedict XVI words to youth in Brazil:
"My appeal to you today, young people . . . is this: do not waste your youth. Do not seek to escape from it. Live it intensely. . . . You, young people are not just the future of the Church and of humanity, as if we could somehow run away from the present. . . . The Church needs you, as young people, to manifest to the world the face of Jesus Christ, visible in the Christian community. Without this young face, the Church would appear disfigured."
The letter also outlines some guidelines for youth and reads in part:
"Stewardship is about acting for others. Discipleship is about doing for others and not counting the cost. Even the smallest act of kindness can bring joy and relief to another. You are in a unique position to reach out to your peers and share with them the unconditional love of God. Seize every opportunity to show them God's love through your random acts of kindness: an encouraging word, a pat on the back, a helpful hand.
– Share Your Time — Visit people who are alone, especially those who are isolated due to age or sickness. Teach what you know to a neighbor or younger sibling. Be present with the people in your life, especially your family. Offer to help. Practice saying "yes."
– Share Your Talents — No one else can do exactly what you do. Whether singing, cooking, drawing, or playing sports, your talents are for share with others. When used generously, the good they provide is immeasurable! Seek opportunities to participate in your parish or faith community as a greeter, altar servers, lector, extraordinary minister of Holy Communion, or assistant in the religious education program.
– Share Your Treasure — The cost of a movie ticket or a pizza can help to prevent a childhood disease or build a house for someone with nowhere to live. Part of your allowance or paycheck can help your parish provide more services for its community. Decide to give a certain percentage of money at your parish each week. As you live with this decision, you will grow into a lifelong habit of generosity.
– Share Your Tradition — Embrace the rites and sacraments of the Church as beautiful gifts of God, to be appreciated, loved, and shared. Invite a friend to come to Mass or Divine Liturgy with you. Pray for others, both people in your life and those in need throughout the world. Consider what plans God has for you. Whatever his call, it will require the ultimate gift of yourself — through marriage and family, or through priesthood or consecrated life.
– It is possible to live in imitation of Christ. Young and old alike, we struggle daily to be true to who God calls us to be. The Church, especially through her sacraments, is there to nourish and guide you. It is a day-by-day journey, and the way may not always be clear. Daily prayer and weekly attendance at the Eucharist will be a tremendous help in enabling you to find you way."

The following day, I attended two events at the Lantana in Randolph: the Archdiocesan Catechetical Congress and Black Catholic Awards Night.
About 700 catechists, half of them Hispanic, gathered at the Catechetical Congress.
It is always very inspiring to be with these catechists who take their faith so seriously and have this very special mission of passing on the faith to new generations of disciples. It was a grand event to see them come together. They are truly modern apostles.
I was very happy to be able to address the catechists in the morning prayer service.
The two readings that they chose were very appropriate. One was the conversion of St. Paul on the Road to Damascus, his encounter with the risen Christ, and the Gospel was Peter's encounter with the risen Christ where the Lord asks him three times, "Do you love Me?" In my reflection, I tried to show the connection between love of Christ and love of the Church. During St. Paul's conversion, the risen Lord said, "Why are you persecuting Me?" because to persecute the Church is to persecute Christ. Christ tells Peter, "If you love Me, you will love my people and feed my people." This, too, communicates that loving Christ means loving His Church. Christ describes Himself as the Church's Bridegroom, not the widower. He does not exist separately from His people.
I am always very grateful for Sister Clare Bertero, Pilar Latorre, Susan Kay and Susan Abbott for all of the hard work they do — daily and especially in planning this event.

Just as we began the day at the Lantana, we ended it there with the Black Catholic Awards Night.
They honored Pierre Monette, an active member at St. Katharine Drexel Parish in Dorchester and member of the Black Catholic Choir, with the Healy award, named for Bishop James Augustine Healy. Monette is as lector, choir member and finance committee member at his parish.
Pierre Monnett received the Healy Award
Father Walter Waldron, pastor of St. Patrick Parish in Roxbury, was awarded the Robert Leo Ruffin Award. Father Waldron does a wonderful job serving the Cape Verdean community in his parish. He also co-founded the Pine Street Inn and helped start the South End Community Health Center.
Father Waldron of St. Patrick's in Roxbury
The dinner was a great success this year, and the whole evening was very upbeat and joy-filled. I believe in my years of coming to the dinner, it is the most people I have ever seen there. The attendance was wonderful, and the Black Catholic Choir, under the direction of Myer Chambers, did a fantastic job.
It was a very enjoyable evening
The keynote speaker was a woman from Texas, Lari Newman-Williams. She gave a lovely talk on ministry and sang a couple of songs.
I am very grateful to our coordinator of Black Catholic Ministries, Lorna DesRoses, and her committee for putting this together. It was good to see so many young people there this year from Boston College High School and St. Katharine's as well as other parishes.
Greeting Lorna

On Sunday, I presided at the annual Red Mass at the Cathedral of St. Paul in Worchester. Bishop Robert McManus celebrated the Mass, and Msgr. Stephen Pedone was the homilist. The Mass was very well-attended. There were many lawyers, judges, district attorneys and others connected with the justice system that participated.
The St. Thomas More Society awarded their various honors to different people connected to the legal profession in the Diocese of Worchester, including Judge Carol A. Erskine, Aldo B. Consigli Jr., Erwin H. Miller, Candace M. Jaegle and Kimberly Fischer.
Speaking at the luncheon following the Red Mass
There was a luncheon afterwards, and I was the speaker. I talked about the role of religion in society and the danger of forgetting God. Our life as Catholics is to live and to build up a civilization of love that the Holy Father has spoken to us about. There are many challenges in our secularistic society.

That day I also attended the wake for Father Ed Boyle in the chapel at Campion Hall, the Jesuit retirement home in Weston.
Father Ed Boyle
Many hundreds of people went there to pay their respects. It was a very moving experience to see how beloved Father Boyle was to so many people whose lives were touched by his ministry in working in the labor movement. The crowd extended from the coffin, through the church, down this very long hallway out to the street. It was incredible how many people went there.
His funeral was the following day at St. Angela Parish. He had helped out for many years at St. Angela's, so he asked to be buried there.
I had seen Father Boyle recently at Campion. He was dying, but he was still able to talk, and we had a nice visit. I will always cherish my memories of this outstanding priest and Jesuit.
Father Ed in his younger days
I also know that he has prepared a farewell statement that will be read at the Labor Guild Dinner on Nov. 30.

Tuesday, we have a second day of recollection for the priests, meant as a follow-up to our Presbyteral Convocation in September. More than 400 priests registered for the event. There was a good turnout, which was very encouraging. It was a time to pray together as we are poised to begin our Bicentennial celebration on Dec. 2. Father Bob Connors, director of the anniversary celebration's council, gave the priests an update on the events that are planned.
The theme of this convocation was "Healing, Reconciliation, Forgiveness." I delivered the opening prayer, which was followed by the first talk by Brother Loughlan Sofield.
Brother Loughlan Sofield
Brother Loughlan was very engaging. Everyone enjoyed his insightful comments about the challenges priests face as well as his sense of humor. The two other speakers were Father Bruce Nieli and Sister Terry Rickard from the Renew program. Our own Renew program, Arise: Together in Christ, will be the centerpiece of our 200th anniversary celebration.
Father Bruce Nieli
Sister Terry Rickard
The priests also had a chance to view the wonderful video "Fishers of Men," that was produced by the bishop's conference as a tool for vocations.
Our Vicar General, Father Richard Erikson
The day afforded many opportunities for prayer and fraternity, which are both so important for our priests. We also had opportunities for confession and a reconciliation service during the day, which I preached at.
I spoke to the priests about the importance of forgiveness, which no serious renewal can be without. Our Father already has forgiven us so much, and it is through His mercy that we learn to be merciful. As priests we are called to be the healing voice of the Lord through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We must love confession and avail ourselves of its graces by confessing regularly ourselves.

Finally for my photo of the week, this photo with the rancho foclorico. It was wonderful surprise to meet them in the seminary!
Until next week, I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday with your families. May God bless you richly this Thanksgiving and grant you and your loved ones safe travel.

- Serves: 4; 3 ounces turkey plus 2 tablespoons gravy per serving
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
Baking Time: 9 - 11 minutes
1 1/2 teaspoons salt-free all-purpose seasoning blend
2 large egg whites
1/4 cup fat-free milk
1/2 cup plain dry bread crumbs
1 pound boneless, skinless turkey breast, cut crosswise into 4 slices, or 4 turkey breast cutlets (about 4 ounces each), all visible fat removed, slices or cutlets pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
Cooking spray
1 tablespoon canola or corn oil
1/4 cup fat-free half-and-half
1/3 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Cooking Instructions
In a medium shallow dish, stir together 1/4 cup flour and the seasoning blend. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites for about 30 seconds, or until frothy. Whisk in the milk. Put the bread crumbs in another medium shallow dish. Set the flour mixture, egg white mixture, bread crumbs, and a large plate in a row, assembly-line fashion.
Dip one piece of turkey into the flour mixture, turning to coat and gently shaking off any excess. Dip into the egg white mixture, turning to coat and letting any excess drip off. Dip into the bread crumb mixture, coating lightly to make sure you have enough for each piece and gently shaking off any excess. Transfer to the plate. Repeat with the remaining turkey. Sprinkle any remaining bread crumb mixture over the turkey. Lightly spray both sides of the turkey with cooking spray.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the turkey for 4 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in the center. Transfer the turkey to plates, leaving any pan drippings in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the half-and-half and remaining 2 teaspoons flour (the mixture may be slightly lumpy). Whisk in the broth and pepper. Pour into the pan drippings, scraping to dislodge any browned bits. Cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Spoon the gravy over the turkey.

This weight-loss app uses tough love to get you fit
Working out has never been so sadistic.
Carrot Fit is a new app that will reward you if you meet your weight-loss goals, but seriously chew you out if you slip up.
The brainchild of iOS developer Grailr, Carrot Fit knows more than 2,000 phrases - some kind and some cruel - thanks to iOS 7's new text-to-speech capabilities. Users enter their current weight when they download the app, and are given rewards such as workout tips and cat facts if they shed pounds. If users gain weight back, however, the app gives them a tongue-lashing.
SEE ALSO: 20 Apps That Look Great on iOS 7
"Meatbags," as the app refers to users, can set reminders to avoid missing a weigh-in, share their progress with friends and check their body mass index, among other features. Future updates of Carrot Fit will include features such as a six-minute workout and the ominous-sounding Deathmarch 5K, according to the product's description in the iTunes store.
Carrot Fit is the latest in a line of apps from Grailr, which includes a mouthy to-do list and an interactive, loose-lipped alarm clock.
Download the app, which costs $1.99, in the iTunes store - if you dare.

On systems with many processes running, the scan through the list takes more time, so it might be preferable to lengthen the interval in order to reduce the overall CPU time spent. However, the scan interval also represents the minimum amount of time that a process must exist to be attributed to a capped workload. If there are workloads that run many short-lived processes, rcapd might not attribute the processes to a workload if the scan interval is lengthened.

Strange Tales and Emails: Said, Wegman, Sharabati, Rigsby (2008)
The discredited Dr. Edward Wegman tried to blame a student for the plagiarism in a paper that has since been retracted from the journal of Computational Statistics and Data Analysis, according to emails released in a new report by computer scientist Dr. John Mashey (attached below).
The emails, originally obtained by USA Today reporter Dan Vergano, reveal that Wegman and his friend, CSDA Editor Dr. Stanely Azen, both tried to convince the publisher Elsevier to allow the discredited paper to stand, perhaps with an errata sheet attached as what Azen described as "punishment" for the Wegman team's academic misconduct.
Mashey and the Canadian blogger DeepClimate have been the two most effective forces at discovering, analyzing and revealing the incorrect, plagiarized and academically incompetent work generated by Wegman, his collaborator and former student Yasmin Said, as well as other students including Walid Sharabati and John Rigsby in their ongoing attacks on climate scientists who contributed to the iconic "hockey stick" climate reconstruction graph (inset).
Earlier Mashey reports include Strange Scholarship in the Wegman Report and Crescendo Climategate Cacaphony, both of which leverage DeepClimate's research and then canvas in extraordinary detail the connections and manipulations that mark the Wegman campaign. The retraction of the CSDA paper is the first obvious result of Mashey and DC's painstaking scholarship. This new report is yet more evidence that more dramatic punishments may still be in store for the Wegman team and for the Republican legislators (such as Joe Barton) and functionaries (including Barton's staffer Peter Spencer) who originally engaged Wegman to launch the hockey stick attack.

its completely outrageous what Wegman and crowd have gotten away with. Where is the outrage? Where is the New York Times coverage? What about Scientific American? Oh sorry, they are too busy lionizing discredited climate change denier Richard Muller.

The truth.....

Funny troll.
McI wouldn't know the truth if it jumped into bed with him.
He's never once audited, for example, Wegman.
If he had, maybe the plagiarism would have been seen sooner.
Tell me, why is the warming effect of CO2 evident in the past but cannot do the same thing now?
Does it know that capitalism requires no AGW?
Rob replied on Permalink
its even worse than what anonymous said above. McIntyre is directly implicated in the Wegman deceptions. He was caught cherry-picking thousands of simulations to find a subset of 'hockey sticks', using a statistical routine that was rigged to produce them, and then lying about it and claiming that Mann's algorithm produces such results. It is likely that McIntyre engaged in criminal conspiracy w/ Wegman, Peter Spencer, and Joe Barton. Read John Mashey's earlier reports (search this site). McIntyre may end up suffering criminal recriminations for his involvement here. Stay tuned! We may eventually see that McIntyre perp walk after all!
caerbannog888 replied on Permalink
…half of the "hockey sticks" generated from red-noise (per McIntyre) are upside-down. But Mann's critics conveniently ignore all those "upside down" hockey-sticks. How's *that* for "hiding the decline"?
Some followup material: For anyone familiar with the SVD algorithm (the algorithm that generates "principal components", it's quite easy to distinguish a "noise" hockey stick from a genuine "Mann" hockey-stick. All you need to do is look at the singular value magnitudes.
If the leading singular values are small, with the remaining singular values declining slowly in magnitude, then you know that you have mostly "noise" (i.e. little correlation amongst the different tree-ring sequences). That's what you see if you apply the SVD algorithm to "red noise". If this is the case, then you know right off the bat that you aren't going to be able to extract a common temperature signal.
However, if you have just one or a few large leading singular values, with the rest dropping off close to zero very quickly, then you know that you have a lot of correlation amongst the tree-ring sequences, and that you will have a very good chance of extracting a common temperature signal those tree-ring sequences.
Give any competent analyst the full outputs of Mann's "hockey stick" procedure applied to random noise vs. tree-ring data, and he/she will be able to tell them apart in two seconds.
If Mann's tree-ring data-set produced singular values similar to what you get from "red noise", he would have said to himself, "there's nothing in this data to work with here – all I have is noise". And then he would have "circular filed" that data-set and gone off to do something else.

I hope the Koch Brothers are paying you well
hey loser. read the National Academy of Sciences report, or the most recent IPCC report, or any of a dozen or more recent studies. Not only has the Hockey Stick been "validated" dozens of times over, it's been extended and strengthened. Here is some summer reading for you:

Rob is spot on
Sooner or later the sordid truth behind the Wegman Report will come out. Deep Climate has thoroughly analysed McIntyres archived code from M&M05, which Wegman used directly without vetting any of the statistical rigour (or lack thereof) behind it. You must read this:
Tells you everything you need to know about how the likes of McIntyre and McKitrick operate. The Wegman Report was a pure stitch-up of MBH98, and needs to be retracted!

Wegman Report and Cuccinelli
Attorney General Cuccinelli cites this Wegman Report in his CID against UVA/Dr. Mann.
If the Wegman Report is finally judged by the professors at George Mason to be a big hoax, maybe people should ask Cuccinelli who helped him write all that trash in his CID.
I am constantly emailing Cuccinelli's deputy W. Russell questions, but he never answers.
The Vatican, the Pentagon, the CIA, our scientific agencies, and all the recognized scientific academies of science accept that there is man-made climate change.
Perhaps Cuccinelli would like to call the Vatican a bunch of liars who are trying to steal our money and take over the world.
Cucinelli's dad is a career gas lobbyist. I read on the Internet a brief comment that Cuccinelli used to work as an advocate for fossil-fuel interests, but there was nothing specific documented. Maybe this site could find out about Cuccinelli's previous career.
In my opinion, Cuccinelli has hijacked the office of the Attorney General and has transformed it into a sinister political police/KGB for his family's private financial interests. Cuccinelli's AG office runs political operations against Dr. Mann and UVA. He cites academics who are stooges of the fossil fuel industry. He is persecuting Dr. Mann and lying about him. Cuccinelli is not protecting our people. Instead he is destroying people who are warning us of danger.

Or if you can only watch videos
And the MWP has nothing to do with AGW but is repeatedly repeated as if it were some "nail in the coffin".
IF the MWP were warmer, the planet is more sensitive to forcings than the IPCC reports suggest.
This fruitcake is basically banking on "See! You were wrong! We're going to fry TOMORROW, not in a hundred years!".

Actually The MWP has as much to do with AGW as the hockey stick.
As a matter science, neither are more than merely interesting.
As a matter of political value to advance an agenda, they are both very important.
The hokey schtick was pure propaganda and the MWP was the obvious flaw that illistrated clearly that the current minor optimum is nothing unusual and certainly not unprecidented.
The attempt was made to lie and wipe out a bit of long accepted factual history.
it failed.

Everyone has the right to be wrong.
Warmists exercise that right all the time.

There aren't any warmists.
Just the science and the deniers.
And reality doesn't give two figs for your opinion. If you decide you don't like sunrise this morning, the sun will not decide to wait until you have a better opinion of it.
It's funny how denialists complain that they're entitled to their opinion but demand that any opinion they don't agree with is proof of a conspiracy.
Denialists have every right to be wrong.
If only they understood that.
But their faith DEMANDS that they never be wrong. It HAS to be AGW that is wrong. No matter what happen.
So they refuse to even recognise when they're wrong. Just like applesauce did with his "I saw the media" response.

Take a chill pill. I am not
Take a chill pill.
I am not the one that disproved AGW.
I simply point out the fact that it has been disproved, and invite others to go look it up as well.
The evidence is easy to find. And if you dig it up yourselves, you can not accuse me of cherry picking or altering it.
FACT: The more you learn, the less you will worry about it.

You've proved nothing.
Not even that there is an intelligent being on the other side of the keyboard.
FACT: the more people say "FACT", the less facts they have.
"Evidence" disproving AGW is easy to find in just the same way as evidence of the existence of Ganesha or Jesus is easy to find.
All you have to do is close your eyes and wish hard enough.

You forgot "click your heals three times"….
Yes I am quite sure you could look right at the clear evidence and not see it.
However, not everyone is blinded by their Faith.
They will see and you will go on believing long after the world has moved on.
But thats OK, a few alarmists are alwasy good for amusement value.

So why is it warming?
Why is it warming?
Oh, forgot, you haven't got any evidence, if you had, you'd be able to show it and explain why it's correct and why it fits better than the climate science we already know.
CO2 is a greenhouse gas.
Live with it.

Anon, if you don't like it
Anon, if you don't like it here (but it seems you do), I suggest you start a blog of your own, just a few clicks away in WordPress. There you can dump as much toxic libel trash as your dear little heart desires, and not a censor in sight.
Do remember though to sign with your real name, so plaintiffs' lawyers can find you.

moderation is the process
moderation is the process whereby discussion and debate can proceed robustly without being censored by input that is aimed at derailing the discussion/debate.

So, what do you think should happen to bad science?
What do you think should be done to scientists who make up facts?
Should they be investigated, or should they be protected?

Well, Dr. Wegman should be investigated, of course, how right you are… but as the post shows, some folks (like Dr. Azen, and it seems, influential people at George Mason University) feel more like protecting him. Very topical question!

Two people are debating in this thread, but each is posting anonymously - making it look a bit like user "anonymous" is arguing with him or herself.
Could each of you at least pick a pseudonym, and stick to it? We dont need to know your real names, but it would help to have two distinct handles to tell you apart, and to follow which of you is saying what.

The retraction of the CSDA paper is the first obvious result of Mashey and DC's painstaking scholarship.

"The Most Defiant Devil: William Temple Hornaday & His Controversial Crusade to Save American Wildlife" (University of Virginia Press), by Gregory J. Dehler
Irony alert: The man often credited with saving the buffalo from extinction began his crusade by killing 20 of the furry beasts. It had taken five weeks to find even a handful of buffalo in Montana in the fall of 1886, their numbers down from the millions to the hundreds after decades of unregulated hunting for economic gain.
William T. Hornaday wasn't seeking meat or fur or even trophies — well, not exactly. He was the chief taxidermist for the U.S. National Museum, a branch of the Smithsonian Institution, and needed specimens. The hunt led Hornaday to write a book decrying the buffalo's fate and to help create preserves. His efforts, and those of others, kept the buffalo roaming into the new century.
Hornaday came to believe that the extinction of the buffalo was not inevitable. "On the contrary," writes biographer Gregory J. Dehler, "Hornaday maintained that something better could and should have been done to accommodate the advance of civilization with the buffalo's right to existence." As Dehler notes, Hornaday applied that view to the fur seal and other endangered species as he campaigned on their behalf.
"The Most Defiant Devil" is Dehler's noteworthy chronicle of the life and career of this key figure in the conservation movement. He reveals a fascinating American, a man of vision and conviction whose stubbornness and hubris won him allies and enemies among lawmakers, potential patrons and fellow conservationists. He once described himself as an unrepentant sinner in regard to his past as a killer of animals and "the most defiant devil that ever came to town."
Hornaday (1854-1937) was born in Indiana and grew up on an Iowa farm. His interest in wildlife led him to study zoology and then taxidermy at the state college in Ames, Iowa. Preparing specimens for scientists and museums promised him a living and an opportunity for travel around the country and abroad.
The great adventure of Hornaday's life, a collecting trek to Asia undertaken when he was just 21, kept him from his fiancee and his home in Syracuse, N.Y., for 2� years. He hunted elephants, monkeys, orangutans and scores of other animals, protected or not, for museums and scientific study. Often beset by fever and short on funds, he survived the ordeal and wrote a popular book about his travels.
Opponents of his crusades would later accuse him of hypocrisy. Hornaday rationalized past hunting expeditions as proper because of the educational value of the specimens they produced. Hostile to market hunting and the use of modern firearms by hunters, he railed against their destructive impact on wildlife. He also pointed out the positive impact of animals, including birds that devoured insects to the benefit of agriculture.
Hornaday's advocacy for animal conservation found an anchor in New York at what would become the Bronx Zoo, which he helped found in 1896 and then served as director for 30 years. He was also adept at collecting wealthy and powerful friends, enjoying the support of the wealthy industrialist Andrew Carnegie and a future president, Theodore Roosevelt.
Dehler doesn't shy away from noting Hornaday's racism — he viewed many nonwhites as lazy, untrustworthy and corrupt. Demanding unwavering patriotism during World War I and the "Red Scare" that followed, Hornaday could be near hysterical in his attacks on Germans and Russians. While he could be genial and charming, he had a penchant for carrying on personal and professional vendettas against those who disagreed with him or otherwise crossed him.
Without question, animals needed tenacious defenders at the turn of the century. Hornaday was single-minded in pursuit of protections for wildlife easily overwhelmed in an industrial age. His influence proved to be deep — environmentalist Aldo Leopold was among those inspired by Hornaday's writings — as well as long-lasting. The top conservation award of the Boy Scouts of America is named in his honor.
Dehler's biography performs the kind of work Hornaday once cherished — the dissecting and rebuilding of a unique specimen for people to ponder and cherish.

Antica was an inhabited major planet of the Beta Renner system in Sector 500. This was the homeworld of the Anticans, a warp-capable canine-like species.
Since achieving spaceflight, Antica had been at war with the neighboring planet Selay. Prior to stardate 41249, Starfleet had detected Ferengi contacts on this planet. In 2364, Antica and Selay both applied for Federation membership. (TNG: "Lonely Among Us")
Later that year, prior to stardate 41775, the USS Heart of Gold was advised by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation to take precautions in surveying Sector 500, such as avoiding certain subsectors in this sector. This request was supported by Starfleet Tactical Command. The reason given for the precautions was that the Federation was in diplomatic negotiations with the Antican government. (TNG: "Conspiracy", okudagram)
