UMN researchers are mapping coyote boundaries in the Twin Cities metro

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:56:22 GMT

Tim Regan never noticed coyotes or wild dogs in Highland Park. But in 2017, he walked past an old rail yard that was once part of the St. Paul Ford Motor Co. site, which had closed years earlier and was being torn down.“And I turned around and there was this coyote there,” he said.He quickly went home to get his camera, and when he came back, it was still lounging.“And then I just started seeing them,” Regan said. “They’re kind of everywhere if you look for them.” He didn’t stop photographing, either. Since 2017, he’s been chronicling the “Highland dogs,” learning their behaviors and assessing common misconceptions people have about them.This hobby connected him with the researchers spearheading the Twin Cities Coyote and Fox Project, a University of Minnesota effort to understand habitat use and diets and measure disease prevalence in coyote and fox populations in the metro area.‘Coyotes and foxes’James Forester, a principal investigator of the project, said looking int...

HUDSON, N.Y. (NEWS10) — In the Patroon League this season, it's been Chatham...and then everybody else. To say the Panthers have "dominated" in 2023 would be doing a disservice to the gaudy numbers they've posted. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! So, here's the numbers: En route to a 17-0 record, Chatham has outscored its opponents 269-to-13. And no, neither of those numbers are a typo. The question wasn't if the Panthers would reach yet another Patroon League championship game this season; it was who would draw the unenviable task of trying to upend this Class C buzz saw.Despite its' best effort, Coxsackie-Athens was unable to hold an early lead against Chatham in Friday's league championship game at Columbia-Greene Community College, and the Panthers' bats came alive late for a 9-2 win, earning the program's second straight Patroon League title.

Highest-rated cafes in St. Louis, according to Yelp

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:56:22 GMT

From the first coffee houses in the Ottoman Empire to Boston's London Coffee House, cafes have always been an egalitarian place to gather, sip, and share ideas, many of which have changed the world.During the Enlightenment, cafes would regularly entertain the likes of Voltaire, Rousseau, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Isaac Newton. Later, Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre would spend hours in cafes, pondering their works and holding court alongside other intellectuals.Needless to say, coffee and cafes beget some revolutionary ideas; sipping a cup may even be a political act. When settlers dumped tea into the Boston Harbor to send a message to the British empire, tea became a British loyalist's drink, and coffee became a popular substitute. Unsurprisingly, Boston's London Coffee House opened in 1689, was soon renamed the American Coffee House. Later on in Philadelphia, Merchant Coffee House, also known as the City Tavern, would host the likes of George Washington, Tho...

As Palisade’s Sami Feller navigates rookie season with Chicago Red Stars, long drives leading to pro career were worth it

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:56:22 GMT

Sami Feller admits she doesn’t want to know how many hours of her life were spent making the eight-hour round trip between Palisade and Denver.It’s a drive she made countless times throughout high school and her college career at the University of Denver — a hallmark of her commitment to reach the highest levels of women’s soccer.And despite going undrafted after a stellar run with the Pioneers, it all paid off this spring when the Chicago Red Stars offered her a three-year contract to play in the NWSL.“My senior year of high school I got another car and since then I’ve put 150,000 miles on it,” Feller told The Post in a phone interview last month. “The miles that I’ve put on my current car — it would probably make me sad with how much I’ve spent driving.”Few college scouts make the drive to Grand Junction, nor anywhere else along the Western Slope, to find hidden gems.

Review: Bay Area rock legend has plenty to celebrate at sold-out concert

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:56:22 GMT

John Fogerty was in the mood to celebrate.“I’m so happy to be back at the Mountain Winery,” the 77-year-old Creedence Clearwater Revival founder exclaimed at the start of his sold-out show on Friday night. “As you may have heard, I’ve got my songs back.”Thus ends a decades-long publishing rights battle for some of the greatest songs in rock ‘n’ roll history, a tussle that has certainly seen some bizarre twists over the years — including John Fogerty being basically being sued for sounding like John Fogerty by the then-owner of the CCR songbook, Fantasy Records.Yet, victory was finally had in January as Fogerty was able to acquire a majority interest of the worldwide publishing rights to “Proud Mary,” “Down on the Corner,” “Fortunate Son,” “Bad Moon Rising,” “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” and the other songs he authored as the leader of CCR back in the ’60s and ’70s.And he’d certainly make great use of those...

"Of the 1,500 missing persons that are total in the city of Oakland, over 400 are Black women," said Oakland City Councilmember Treva Reid. "That is a concerning, troubling number." Strike Day 7: $1 billion estimate is ‘ridiculous’ fiction, Oakland teachers union says That is why a broad coalition of Oakland-based organizations have declared their own state of emergency due to what they say is an increase in Black girls being abducted in the city. Russell says over the past month alone there have been 10 attempted abductions, with three occurring over the past weekend."One family, actually, their daughter was snatched, kidnapped on Lakeshore Avenue," Russell said.
