Thanks to the Atkinson Elderly Affairs and Police Department for the lovely floral arrangement I received on my 90th birthday. Thank you.
Am I the only one who thinks naming of winter storms by The Weather Channel and now Accuweather absurd hype. TWC and Accuweather clients WBZ Radio and TV should be shunned for this idiocy. Snow in the snowbelt — who would have thunk it! The hype they are trying to create and milk for all it's worth is embarrassing. Jim Cantore must want to wear a paper bag over his head when he goes into work at the once proud Weather Channel. At least Harvey Leonard at Channel 5 has not succumbed to this nonsense.
Save money
The question that needs to be asked is: Why is North Andover High Principal Carla Scuzzarella making the hiring and firing decisions for coaches? What makes her qualified? Has anyone seen her at an athletic event? The School Committee can fire Longley, get rid of his salary, replace him with an administrator, save money and eliminate user fees.
I'm talking
You have to love some policemen who use their power to intimidate women. Had an incident happen on Route 114 where I had to stop abruptly for a cruiser with sirens and flashing blue lights. The cruiser stopped on the side of my car before rushing on his way to rudely yell for me to get off my phone. Sorry, but as far as I am aware, I can legally still talk on my phone while driving. No driving while texting, I respect and honor. But please don't tell me to stop talking on my phone until it becomes law. Go take care of your business and I will take care of mine.
I believe that Stephen Campbell should be commended. He is the only selectman in Salem who cares about the people, and not how much money they can spend. Salem continues to be run by the select few who seem to put their own agenda above that of the general public. I guess that will never change.
Voting simply on the basis of race, gender or union affiliation has clouded the integrity of our electoral system. Politicians will now use any means, including fraud and demagoguery, to win elections. What happened to voting on the basis of morality, character or crucial social issues? Instead of honest debate and disagreement, we prefer to demonize those who disagree with us. My view is that our electoral system is sinking as quickly as our nation, particularly under the current administration. Civil rights have been replaced by uncivil rights.
Bad guys
Again and again we legal gun owners tell others that no matter what restrictions are placed on the ownership of guns, the bad guys will still be able to obtain them. Why can't the naysayers understand that? The naysayers chastise the expression: "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns." Just read any newspaper and you will see this is true. Maybe the naysayers don't understand the meaning of the word "outlaw."
Hats off to Gov. Deval Patrick for his excellent leadership — especially for his banning of nonessential vehicles from all roads before and during the storm.
The president called for a smarter government in his State of the Union Address. I guess this means he's resigning.

The cost of an average outpatient visit to a physician at a Veterans Administration hospital in 1976 was estimated from hospital records to have been $80.35 ($104.46 in 1979 dollars). When productivity was used to measure relative cost, cost per visit ranged from a low of $32.66 (1979: $42. 46) for hypertension clinic to a high of $243.48 (1979: $316. 52) for hematology clinic. The average patient was seen 12.6 times annually at a cost of $1012 (1979: $1315). The major cost category for a physician visit was salaries, with nonphysician salaries costing twice as much as physician salaries. The cost of medical equipment was minimal. The findings suggest that the outpatient bookkeeping system was inadequate for cost accounting, the cost per visit was expensive, there were an excessive number of visits, and problems in the institutional delivery system of ambulatory care lowered productivity of physicians.

WASHINGTON -- Wow. Hell of a game, eh? Hard fought all the way through, but they couldn't pull it out in the end. An unfriendly roll here, a no-call there. And that's the difference in this game.
But being the optimist that I am, I saw a lot that I liked in this game, so here's a quick list of highlights (with NO lowlights):
Besides a scare in the 3rd quarter when Beal hit the deck hard, there's not one thing I disliked seeming him do this entire game. He was aggressive going to the basket. He scored from outside. He played defense. He scored 17 points, and it could have easily been more had he not been out for that stretch in the 3rd after his fall.
Remember him? Been a while since we'd seen him, but Barron played some great defense in the first half, and had some great offense in the second half. He finished with 14 rebounds in 24 minutes, because why the hell not.
27 points on 22 shots? Not so good. 5-10 from 3? Not a bad clip, JCraw. But the best part was his 11(!!!) assists, tying a career high he set against Cleveland in April 2011. But maybe he should keep passing throughout the whole game. Alas, live and learn.
Sure he had 18 points, but his defense is what this team needs. That drawn charge on Jeff Teague that sent the game into overtime was so clutch, it made my heart skip a beat. I don't know what that even means, other than Nene is a good defender, and he makes a huge difference on this team.
What else did you like? I guess since I didn't mention any, what didn't you like?

Artist's Statement I am an Israeli born ceramic artist living and working in London. I make one-off and family groups of sculptural vessels, female figurines, and wall pieces. I think of my ceramic work as a personal journey exploring my identity, connecting to my roots and expressing the process of growth, evolution, and the layering that makes up a whole. Natural forms, textures, weathered and effaced surfaces and ancient and archaic ceramic and glass objects found in Israel and Mediterranean countries inspire my work. I express my cultural identity through my artwork in a process that is nostalgic, often subconscious, yet always comforting and reaffirming. My vessels are constructed of thrown and manipulated elements. They are forms that are organic, asymmetrical, and evocative of animal and human shapes and movements. Many of my pieces have similar elements to trees, clouds, rocks and landscapes. My works emulate the visual qualities of objects revealed in archaeological digs, or washed to shore by the sea. I create surfaces that offer clues to the history of the ceramic processes used to make the pieces; the visual and tangible textures and layers create a whole.

Ocean Shelf-Edge Exchange
Programme background
The edge of the coastal shelf represents a major boundary within the ocean system. The topography of the shelf edge constrains large scale ocean currents from crossing the shelf boundary and limits the connections between the two systems.
In the absence of exchanges associated with large scale currents, shelf ocean exchanges are driven by a variety of small scale physical processes that are profoundly influenced by topography around the boundary and meteorological forcing. These processes include internal tides, upwelling, sinking via cascading to deep water, eddies, filaments and storms.
The observation and modelling of these small scale net exchanges within a highly dynamic system represent a major challenge. We cannot currently describe the processes involved in these exchanges, how they interact and what controls them. Hence these processes are currently inadequately parameterised within ocean models.
Exchange of water between the oceans and the shelf seas has a considerable impact on the shelf seas and societal use of these seas, as well as impacting the open ocean. These exchanges affect:
- the export of carbon and contaminants to the deep seas;
- nutrient exchanges across the shelf break which fuel much of the productivity of shelf seas overall, and the high productivity and associated fisheries around the shelf edge;
- the regional climate via heat exchange; and
- large scale oceanographic processes via the exchange of freshwater.
Climate change has the potential to significantly change all of these processes.
The UK is surrounded by one of the world's major continental shelves which provide a series of key environmental services for the UK ranging from waste disposal, through renewable and non-renewable resources to recreation. Shelf edge exchange processes underpin the productivity of coastal seas on which we depend for most of our marine fisheries.
The shelf seas represent the Earth's second most valuable ecosystem and the most valuable marine ecosystem, hence more effective management of the coastal seas in the face of climate change is the key economic benefit of this research programme.
This programme will contribute to delivering NERC strategy and underpin much other current and planned future research on the shelf seas. It will contribute directly to delivering the climate system, Earth system science and technologies themes.
In addition, it will indirectly support the sustainable use of natural resources and biodiversity themes. This work will also help support other NERC research programmes including the Ice Sheet Stability and Arctic research programmes.
This research programme will also contribute to maintaining world leading UK research expertise in this area, and to building links to other research efforts developed by other agencies (Western Shelf Observatory) which will contribute to several Living With Environmental Change objectives.
The research will inform the development of several NERC themes and more widely to international programmes such as IMBER and LOICZ.
The overarching objective of the Ocean Shelf-Edge Exchange research programme is:
"To improve our fundamental understanding of shelf edge processes which influence the environmental conditions of coastal seas."
To deliver this objective, this programme will examine the fundamental physical processes of exchanges between the edge of the coastal shelf and the open ocean, and will improve understanding of shelf edge exchange processes in different shelf environments in order to allow these processes to be better incorporated into models.

L Club Welcome
Dear L-Club Members,
The fall semester is underway and big expectations are in the air with our athletic teams as they begin the 2011 campaigns.
Coach Berry and the football team had an awesome off season and pre-season program and are eager to soar into the Sun Belt Conference with pride. Our soccer and volleyball teams are already in action and the golf program will be teeing it up soon. There are a lot of activities this semester and we want you to come be a part of the excitement.
Speaking of excitement your L-Club board has been working hard for some time to secure our organization a home and we are excited about some of the options currently under discussion. More details will follow soon, but we need your help and membership now more than ever as we work to build a location for us all to be proud of and a place to hold reunions and socials for our groups to return to as we celebrate our past and cheer on the future.
Don't forget to return your membership and I challenge each and every one of you to recruit at least one of your teammates to do the same. Just that effort alone could double our membership and allow us to continue to plan and build for the future. Be watching the mail or monitor this Web site as we will be bringing some fall meeting dates and events to life soon and we want you to be a part of it.
Thanks as always for your support and efforts and we are looking forward to seeing you at a game this fall.
Go Warhawks!!

L-Club President
Great season predicted in football
by Bob Anderson
After a better-than-predicted football season in 2010, an even better one is expected this fall.
Sun Belt Conference coaches have picked ULM to finish in a tie for third place in their annual pre-season football poll but most Warhawk fans are even more optimistic than that. ULM has the most returning starters of any SBC squad after Coach Todd Berry's first Hawk team went 5-7 with great performances against the league two best teams and missed bowl eligibility by one point. ULM closed out the 2010 season with an oh-so-close 23-22 defeat at the hands of state rival Louisiana-Lafayette.
Most of the stars of that young team are back this fall, led by 21 returning starters including four who have been picked on the pre-season all-conference team — WR Luther Ambrose, C Ryan McCaul, DE Ken Dorsey and safety Darius Prelow.
Ambrose, of St. James, was third in the NCAA 100-meter dash two years ago and an all-SBC second team football selection last fall after ranking third in the conference with 65 catches for 752 yards and six scores. His catch total is the fourth best season figure ever for a ULM player.
McCaul, a junior college transfer, started at both tackle and center during the 2010 season and was chosen on the all-Louisiana second team at fall's end. He's from Moore, OK, and played at Northeast Oklahoma JC.
Dorsey was a first team all-Louisiana choice after ranking fifth in the SBC with 13 tackles for losses and eighth with five sacks. Voted a permanent team captain, he is a graduate of Homewood, AL, High School but grew up in New Orleans.
Prelow was a second-team all-SBC defensive back last year after finishing first on the ULM team with seven pass break ups and second in tackles with 74 and in interceptions with two. He's from Shreveport and graduated from Southwood High.
All four players are seniors.
The Warhawks also have an outstanding player returning at quarterback in sophomore Kolton Browning, an excellent receiving corps, all of last year's starters in the offensive line and have had the SBC's second best defensive record for the past two years. It all adds up to an optimistic outlook in the ULM fan base, coaches and players, says Berry as he goes into his second year as head coach.
"We have high expectations of what we can do," says the ULM coach. "Last year we went into the season with questions at several positions and that opened the door for a lot of freshmen to play. This season we have lots of experienced players and we feel good about our two-deep. If some of our freshmen can break into that two-deep, that's good because they'll have to be pretty good players to do that. We have a better comfort level on both sides now — we coaches know our players and they know our staff and what is expected of them."
Berry says the ULM schedule, usually the toughest in the Sun Belt, contributes to a feeling of confidence in the Warhawk players.
Last year ULM played three of the top 12 teams in the country — Auburn ended the season as the national champion, LSU was No. 8 in the final rankings and Arkansas was No. 12. This year's schedule again features some of the best teams in the country.Florida State, the opening opponent Sept. 3, is ranked as high as No. 4 in one of the national preview magazines, Rose Bowl champ TCU (Sept. 17) No. 15 and Iowa (Sept. 24) No. 26.
"Playing teams like these helps create the right attitude in our players," says Berry. "They're excited about playing nationally ranked teams and not afraid of anybody." Since ULM began regularly scheduling top teams in 1995, it has beaten three squads from the nation's most powerful league, the Southeastern Conference, the latest being Nick Saban's Alabama club in 2007.
QUARTERBACKS — Browning's presence at quarterback gives ULM one of the nation's most exciting young performers at the game's most important position. The young man from Mabank, Texas, made the College Football News Freshman All-America team in 2010, and was Louisiana and Sporting News Sun Belt Freshman of the Year. He finished third in the NCAA among all freshmen with 244.8 yards per game in total offense and led his team in both passing and rushing.
Browning (6-1, 202) tied former NFL star Stan Humphries' school records with eight straight games with at least 200 yards passing and with his five TD passes in the win over North Texas. ULM has an experienced player behind Browning in junior Cody Wells (5-11, 195). He has played under center in seven games over the past two seasons and started against Kentucky and Troy in 2009, completing 44 of 80 throws for 546 yards and four touchdowns in the two games.
Soph Aaron Munoz (5-11, 186), ULM's punter last year, returns to the QB position after brief stints at DB and WR. Other players at the position are sophomore Ian McCoig (6-2, 207) and incoming freshmen Brayle Brown (6-1, 180) and Earnest Carrington (6-1, 203).
RUNNING BACKS — Frank Goodin, ULM's No. 3 all-time rusher, has completed his eligibility. That leaves soph Jyruss Ewards (5-11, 189) atop the depth chart after four starts in 2010. His 4.5-yard rush average was the best among the team's RBs.
Another sophomore, Centarius Donald (6-0, 211) came out of spring practice as the No. 2 RB ahead of Arkansas transfer Mitch Bailey (6-0, 224). Bailey played in four games as a true freshman at Fayetteville, three of them SEC contests. Other runners on the roster include Carl Elie (5-8, 195), Montrell Washington (5-10, 200), Todd Muse (5-6, 174) and recruit DeVontae McNeal (5-11, 215), who ran for 2,405 yards as a senior at Quitman, Texas, HS.
WIDE RECEIVERS — Not since its glory days of the 1980s and 1990s has ULM had so many and so talented a group of wide receivers. Ambrose is the leader but sophomore Tavarese Maye is perhaps even more dangerous. He had 43 catches for 505 yards and three TDs last year plus 104 yards and one touchdown on 11 end-arounds.
Senior Anthony McCall (33-479-2), junior Brent Leonard (33-377-3) and soph Je'Ron Hamm (8-111-1) round out a group of regular or part-time starters. Other WRs available are Julian Griffin (Jr,, 6-1, 199), Zarrell Sanders (Jr., 5-10, 175), Colby Harper (RFr,, 5-11, 168) and four incoming freshmen — Rashaud Bell (6-5, 205) of Atlanta, Ga., Tyler Cain (5-8, 180) of West Monroe, Rashon Ceaser (6-0, 170) of Clinton, La., and Justin Ginyard (6-0, 200) of Ouachita.
TIGHT ENDS — This position has been strengthened by the return of big junior Keavon Milton (6-4, 271) after playing most of 2010 on defense. Also available is veteran Ty Kittle (Sr., 6-2, 226), Kevin Steed (So., 6-3, 209), Ronnie Anderson (Sr., 6-2, 238) and incoming frosh Harley Scioneaux (6-6, 215) of Reserve.
OFFENSIVE LINE — Starters back in the blocking line are tackles Patrick Dvoracek (Jr., 6-3, 311) and Anthony Montgomery (Sr., 6-4, 309), guards Justin Roberts (Sr., 6-4, 307) and Jonathan Gill (Jr., 6-3, 302) and McCaul (Sr., 6-4, 293) at center.
Also returning are two other linemen with starting experience, center Josh Allen (So., 6-2, 272) and guard Jon Fisher (So., 6-3, 298) along with OT Demiere Burkett (RFr., 6-1, 278), OT Jeremy Burton (RFr, 6-1, 298) and OG Christian Lyrse (So., 6-1, 350). Incoming freshmen are Dillon Jordan (6-4, 264) of Rowlett, Texas, Colby Mitchell (6-3, 290) of Bartlesville, Okla., Ben Risenhoover (6-3, 280) of Jenks, Okla., and Joseph Treadwell (6-4, 270) of Pine Bluff, Ark.
DEFENSIVE LINE — ULM has fielded one of the most active and effective defenses in the Sun Belt Conference ever since aggressive Troy Reffett took over as defensive coordinator two years ago. ULM's attacking defenders have forced 42 turnovers and recorded 51 sacks in those two years.
The Warhawks should have one of the best front lines in the conference this fall.
The loss of Milton to offense at defensive end is offset by the return from the injury list of Troy Evans (Sr., 6-1, 250). Evans was fifth in sacks in the SBC in 2009 and made the 2010 pre-season all-conference first team. Dorsey (Sr., 6-0, 270) will be the other end and is an almost unanimous pre-season all-league choice after ranking fifth in the SBC in tackles for loss and eighth in sacks. Malcolm Edmond (RFr., 6-1, 250) and Darius Livley (RFr., 6-2, 219) came into fall as the backups.
Jordan Landry (Sr., 6-3, 225) will also see action and another possibility is Elliot Hilliard (RFr., 6-3, 246). Incoming freshmen are Joey Gautney (6-2, 250) of Whitehouse, Texas, and Jackson Randle 6-2, 223) of Lufkin, Texas. Former end Kentarius Caldwell (So., 6-2, 254) moved to the top of the depth chart at nose tackle in the spring ahead of 2010 starter Emmanuel Jefferies (So, 6-2, 266). Also in the mix is John Nard (RFr., 6-0, 279).
LINEBACKERS — The Warhawks have two of the SBC's best in Jason Edwards (Sr., 5-10, 230) and Cameron Blakes (Jr., 6-1, 218). They were 1-2 atop the team's tackle chart in 2010, Edwards with 75 and Blakes with 74 including a team-high six sacks.
The surprise of spring practice was the emergence of Lincston Jones (Sr., 6-0, 240) at the other LB position. Hampered by injuries during his previous years, Jones came out of the off-season drills as a starter after playing on special teams last fall. Ray Stovall (So., 6-2, 216), C.C. Carpenter (Sr., 5-11, 226) and Tristan Warren (So., 6-0, 205) came into fall as the backups. ULM added a linebacker with big time experience this summer when R.J. Young (5-11, 232) joined the team.
Recruited out of high school by Coach Berry, who played college ball with his father, Young is a graduate of the University of Arizona and so is eligible immediately. He played in all 13 games for the Pac 10 team last fall and started one. He will have two years of eligibility at ULM. Other experienced LBs available are Shaq Belson (Sr., 5-9, 228) and DaCorris Ford (Jr., 6-1, 218) while there are three incoming freshmen, all from Arkansas — Michael Johnson (6-2, 210) of Maumelle, Hunter Kissinger (6-3, 210) of Springdale and Cody Robinson (6-1, 200) of Des Arc.
SECONDARY — Otis Peterson (So., 5-9, 179) moved from wide receiver to cornerback last fall and took over as the starter in game two. He's back after making 42 tackles, intercepting a pass and forcing a fumble. Vincent Eddie (So, 5-8, 153) ended last season as the starter on the other corner and had the job as the fall began.
A pair of redshirt freshmen, Memphis transfer Rob'Donovan Lewis (5-10, 171) and Justin Criswell (5-8, 188) came into camp as the backups. Another corner in the mix is Marcus Godfrey (RFr., 5-9, 193). Former cornerback starter Nate Brown (Sr., 5-9, 181) is now at safety and is backed by Khairi Usher (Jr., 5-9, 199). Isaiah Newsome (So., 5-11, 185) returns at the other safety ahead of former receiver Tim Taylor (Sr., 5-9, 179).
The new man at the Hawk position is pre-season all-SBC Darius Prelow (Sr., 6-0, 204), backed up by Henry Mitchell (Jr., 5-11, 185). Other returning safeties are Trevor Dillard (RFr., 5-9, 178), Brandon Hardy (Jr., 5-10, 208), Oliver Jackson (So., 5-11, 191), Cordero Smith (Fr, 5-11, 182) and Roland Veal (So, 6-0, 193). Incoming freshmen DBs are Mitch Lane (6-1, 200) of Pine Bluff, Ark., Allen Tatum (6-2, 185) of Warren, Ark., and Devon White (6-1, 175) of New Orleans.
SPECIAL TEAMS — ULM returns all its special team players led by senior kicker Radi Jabour (6-0, 195) who raised his FG percentage from 60 % (12-20) in 2009 to 80% (8-10) last year. Jabour has made 26 FGs during his ULM career. He was 26-29 on PATs and led ULM in scoirng with 50 points last fall.
Cody Wells will be Jabour's holder while Alex Chace (Sr., 5-11, 299) returns to handle the short snaps and Madison Tharp (So, 5-11, 199) will be the long snapper. Jyruss Edwards is back to return kickoffs after averaging 24.3 yards to rank No. 4 in the SBC.
Brent Leonard is expected to handle the punt returns. Sophomore Aaron Munoz handled the punting last year and averaged 38.6 yards. Two incoming freshmen will challenge for two kicking jobs--Caleb Gammel of Buckeye is a punter and Justin Manton (6-2, 166) of St. Amant is a place kicker.

EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK: Great Expectations
By Bob Anderson
Expectations are high for ULM's football season, maybe the highest since the Warhawks joined the Sun Belt Conference.
ULM is picked to finish in a tie for third place by conference coaches this year and that matches the highest prediction ever for the Warhawks. The 2008 team — a year after beating Alabama and going 6-6 — was also predicted to finish third but wound up 4-8 overall and tied for fifth in the league with a 3-4 record.
But that 2008 team didn't have 21 starters returnng and 48 lettermen. And the predictions notwithstanding, ULM fans don't expect third place--they are thinking championship and bowl bids.
Will it happen???
The Warhawk faithful have good reason to be optimistic but winning a championship has never been easy for anybody but it seems especially so for ULM, which has only one three-way title tie, no bowl bids and several frustrating close calls to show for its years in BCS (1-A) football.
The SBC predictions reflect ULM's past failures.
FIU's and Troy's first and second-place positions in the coaches' poll were expected because Troy has been to the Sun Belt what Ohio State has been to the Big Ten — the perennial champion — while FIU is almost unanimously considered the league's rising star.
Middle Tennessee's share of third in the prediction was a little unexpectd but the Blue Raiders have been there and done that--three bowls since 2006 — and ULM hasn't.
Still, this COULD be the year.
ULM seemingly has the parts necessary to climb to unfamiliar heights after a 2010 season that was not spectacular but better than expected. Warhawk fans have two good reasons for their great expectations.
One is the high number of returning stars. The main reason perhaps is the great performances against co-champions Troy and FIU last fall. ULM upset Troy in Malone Stadium for the third consecutive time, 28-14, snapping the Trojans' 15-game winning streak in Sun Belt play.
Then the Warhawks almost beat FIU the next week in Florida before finally losing in two overtimes, 42-35. The team finished 5-7 overall and 4-4 in the Sun Belt for a share of fourth place instead of the predicted seventh.
To win a championship you need a good quarterback and we have one in sophomore Kolton Browning.
He was the Sporting News Freshman of the Year in the Sun Belt in 2010 and Louisiana's top rookie as voted by the state's sportswriters. There were a lot of good QBs in the Sun Belt last year and will be again this fall, like Troy's Corey Robinson, ASU's Ryan Alpin and FIU's Wesley Carroll. But Browning had a better completion percentage than Alpin, accounted for more touchdowns and gained almost 400 more yards rushing than Carroll and decisively outplayed Robinson in their head-to-head meeting.
You need a good and experienced offensive line and ULM has every starter returning up front. You need a good defense and ULM has ranked second in the SBC in total defense and rushing defense for two consecutive years. You need experience and ULM has 30 players who have started at least one game — the most in the SBC.
So what else do the Warhawks need?
Well, they need to beat Troy at Troy, which they have never done before. They need to snap a five-game losing streak against Middle Tennessee. They need to snap a three-game losing streak against ULL and beat the Cajuns in Lafayette. They need to beat conference favorite Florida International in the final home game Nov. 19.
They need to kick away from the conference's most dangerous player, T.Y. Hilton — kick to the other side, kick out of the end zone, kick onside, just don't give him a chance to touch the ball. He returned a kickoff 95 yards and caught passes of 67, 60 and 25 yards — all for touchdowns — in FIU's win last fall.
And it wouldn't hurt to win all the other league games, too.
Another need is to rev up the running game. The Warhawks were No. 7 in the SBC in rushing offense last year with 120 yards a game, the main reason the team was also seventh in total offense.
We'll certainly miss Frank Goodin but there's good depth at the RB position with Jyruss Edwards, who had the best average among the Hawk runners at 4.5 yards in 2010, and a couple of promising big guys, sophomore Centarius Donald (211 lbs.) and Arkansas transfer Mitch Bailey (224 lbs.).
The best depth on the team is at the wide receiver positions where speedster Luther Ambrose (65 catches, 752 yrds, 6 TDs), soph Tavarese Maye (43-505-3), Anthony McCall (33-479-2) and Brent Leonard (33-377-3) return.
Defensively, the top three tacklers — linebackers Jason Edwards (75) and Cameron Blakes (74) and safety Darius Prelow (74) — return along with pre-season all-SBC Ken Dorsey.
There is no such thing as a perfect schedule but ULM's 2011 slate is not bad. Of course, there are the three brutal money games — all on the road and all against national powers, Florida State (predicted No. 7), TCU (No. 20) and Iowa (No. 26).
In the Sun Belt, ULM will play three of its top four predicted opponents — FIU, Middle Tennessee and Arkansas State — in Malone Stadium.
ULM's first home game is Sept. 10 vs Grambling State.

Ronaldo: Madrid's success 'unbelievable'
Cristiano Ronaldo admitted he felt emotional after putting his old club out of the Champions League.
"I don't have words to explain what I feel. I just have one word to say it is unbelievable.
" -- Cristiano Ronaldo, on Real's
comeback win over United
Ronaldo scored the winner in the 2-1 win over 10-man Manchester United -- his first return to Old Trafford since he left the club in 2009 -- to put Real Madrid into the quarterfinals 3-2 on aggregate.
Afterwards he told Sky Sports: "It was emotional in both games, especially tonight, it was unbelievable.
"I don't have words to explain what I feel. I just have one word to say it is unbelievable.
Ronaldo got past Rafael da Silva and slid to tap in a cross from Gonzalo Higuain. Ronaldo, who did not celebrate on the field of his former club, reached 40 goals for the third consecutive season.
"What the supporters did made me feel quite shy because in my opinion in both games I didn't play like I play all the time," he said. "But anyway I helped my team to score one goal home and away. I feel happy inside because Madrid got through but on the other hand I feel a little bit sad because Manchester United deserved (to win).
"But it's part of the football. It's feelings that stay in there and this doesn't change things."
The match swung on a red card shown to Nani while United was 1-0 up -- a decision which incensed the home side.
"To be honest I didn't see the replay of what Nani did but these situations happen in football," Ronaldo added. "I'm not going to say any more because I didn't see the replay."

Through the Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) program, four students from Montrose, one student from Delta and three students from Grand Junction spent their summer re-routing and maintaining hiking trails, restoring impaired watersheds and wetland sites, creating check dams to improve wildlife habitat, dismantling poorly placed campfire rings and tent sites in wilderness areas — all while getting exposure to various natural resource careers with the Forest Service.
These teens, ages 16-18, were part of two YCC crews employed by the forest for the summer.
The YCC has introduced young Americans to conservation opportunities on public lands since the program was created in 1970. YCC members work federal lands restoring, rehabilitating, and repairing natural, cultural and historical resources. Typical projects include fence construction, invasive plant removal, trail maintenance, campsite restoration, habitat preservation, and visitor use assistance — just to name a few. Many employees working in land management agencies today were first introduced to their profession through the YCC.
This is the first year the Ouray Ranger District has organized a YCC crew, while the Grand Valley Ranger District has hosted a crew for the past few summers. "These kids are hardworking and enthusiastic and help us get more projects accomplished during the summer while getting first-hand experience in natural resources management," said district ranger Tammy Randall-Parker.
Grand Junction crew members Logan McGovern, Josh Padilla and Jose Rodriquez spent their summer working alongside a seasonal trail crew. Together, they were able to reroute the Kannah Creek trail and maintain other trails on the Grand Valley Ranger District. "This is a great way to get your foot in the door and show that you can do the job," said former YCC crew member Hunter Longcarich. Longcarich and Casey Dorsett, another former YCC crew member, were hired by the Forest Service to work on trail crews this summer.
"This is about the fifth time we hiked the Blue Lakes trail," said Andrew Maher, the leader of the Ouray Ranger District YCC crew. "After heavy rains, we need to remove debris and trees blocking the trail. The kids are getting pretty good at using picks, shovels and handsaws," he added. As crew leader, Maher schedules the projects and organizes the logistics. He places a big emphasis on safety with tail gate safety discussions each morning.
Clayton Beutler, a senior at Montrose High School, enjoyed working with the Ouray Trail Group maintaining trails outside of town. "We get a chance to interact with the public and I like that," he said. Nayeli Zavala, a 16-year-old from Montrose, spent many days improving trails and building water check dams. "I probably wouldn't spend much time in the forest if I was not on the YCC crew," she said. "I like learning new things," she added.
The Ouray Ranger District YCC crew spent a few days working with other Forest Service field crews including the timber, trail, watershed and range crews. Levi Wrich, a Delta High School student, hopes to pursue a career in natural resources so this summer job was a perfect opportunity. "After marking trees for the Smokehouse timber sale, I have a better idea of what a timber job is all about," he said.
What was their most memorable part of the summer so far? Beutler recalls hearing an aspen tree fall, "that was pretty cool." Dana Shellhorn, another Montrose student, quickly added, "I was pretty excited to see a moose and a boreal owl." During the 10-week summer program, the students worked on various projects in all five of the ranger districts within the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests.

Click "here" to see a timeline, videos and more on Robert C. Byrd.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- When asked about U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd's contribution to economic development in Southern West Virginia, Judy Radford didn't quite know where to start.
"The question just leaves me tongue-tied," said Radford, who heads the Beckley-based 4-C Economic Development Authority.
But after a deep breath, Radford talked about Byrd's appropriations to build four-lane highways, the Erma Byrd Center for Public Higher Education, Mountain State University's library, health centers, water lines, dams, the federal prison in Beckley and a technology business center in downtown Hinton.
"It's just on and on," said Radford, whose agency promotes economic development in Summers, Raleigh, Nicholas and Fayette counties. "He just touched so many different places trying to help. He helped create all kinds of different jobs."
And not just in the region where Byrd was born.
Bob Steptoe, chairman of the Steptoe & Johnson law firm, rattled off a list of projects that have created jobs from Clarksburg to Morgantown.
There's the FBI center with its 3,000 employees, of course. Plus, the NASA facility in Fairmont, Robert C. Byrd Institute for Flexible Manufacturing in Bridgeport, West Virginia University Health Science Center (Byrd secured funding for a trauma center named after his teenage grandson, who died in an traffic accident in 1982), Blanchette Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute (Byrd appropriated $30 million in construction funding for the center, which is named after Sen. Jay Rockefeller's mother), and the West Virginia Coal and Energy Technology center in Morgantown.
