  1. Don't get me going... I wholeheartedly support education (past university part time professor) but today college is just a financial business. $200k investment to get a $45k job. All these schools charging tremendous tuition to build sports teams and nice buildings. Sports and buildings do not contribute to education. Science is science wether you learn it in a humble environment or the Taj Mahal. It has become a big business for lenders who can keep parents and students indebted their whole life. Young people have a difficult time getting started with all their education debt. Europe has a much better college education plan.
  2. I find it super intersesting how the Thames winter population decreased while the Housatonic winter poulation exploded over the last 10-15 years.

  7. from CT DEEP - Canadian Gray Wolf genes - probably gives them their size... Interesting Facts: Eastern coyotes are generally larger in size than their western counterparts. Recent genetic research has attributed the eastern coyote's larger size to interbreeding with Canadian gray wolves. Coyotes are biologically able to reproduce with domestic dogs, although because of several barriers, they rarely do. For instance, both male and female coyotes are fertile for only a short time during the year. Also, young coydogs rarely survive because male domestic dogs that breed with female coyotes do not remain with her to assist with parental care. The offspring of a coyote/domestic dog mating are often infertile. Coyotes use a variety of vocalizations to communicate with one another. Howls, yelps, and high-pitched cries are best known, but they also bark, growl, wail, and squeal. Family groups yelping in unison can create the illusion of a dozen or more performing together. Coyotes are most often heard around dawn and dusk. However, they may respond to sirens and fire whistles at any time of day or night. A coyote’s social unit consists of the adult pair and their young; they may be encountered singly, in pairs, or in groups of three or more. Mated pairs maintain territories which are scent-marked and defended against other coyotes as well as foxes. A coyote's sense of hearing, sight, and smell are well developed. Coyotes normally run as fast as 25 to 30 miles an hour, but can run 35 to 40 miles an hour when pursued. They are also strong swimmers.
