Comments about Cordoba Fusion 12 Jet Acoustic-Electric Nylon String Classical Guitar:
This is the replacement for the previous "B" Stock in my previous review. I love the looks and quality build of this guitar. The hardshell cases alone is almost worth the total price. The price was also was lower than the first one.
The preamp was still a problem. The installed preamp doesn't even compare to a cheap Fishman, but I made it better. I took the strings off and discovered that the bone bridge saddle wasn't completely flat. I sanded it flat and to lower the action a bit. Tightening the neck truss rod also had a difference on the action.
I put on a set of D'Addario EJ46TT strings and the overall sound was alot better. I like the hard strings and sound. I use medium strings on my acoustic and electra guitars and get a much fuller tone.
For the price, you really can't go wrong. It's cheaper to buy the B stock and have a guitar tech improve the electronics (or replace with a Fishman) and set the neck and bridge.
I took a chance and it paid off.

Comments about Cordoba Fusion 12 Jet Acoustic-Electric Nylon String Classical Guitar:
I ordered a "B" stock because of the great price. The guitar looks great and I was looking forward to using it for certain songs in our set to get a different sound.
When I plugged it in, I could tell something was wrong with the preamp. I had to set the volume all the way to full to get any decent sound. I also had to increase the volume on my amp as well. Of course, this created a big problem matching the volume to my other guitars. I tried using a new battery and nothing helped. The web describes that it comes with a Fishman preamp, which I prefer, but it came with a B-Band T-35. Hadn't used a B-Band before, but I know that it is a good brand.
Musician's Friend is sending me a replacement and I am hoping this will fix the problem. If it does, then I would recommend this model to anyone.
There's no way to be sure about any problems buying "B" stock until you get it. In this case, the "B" means BAD.
As always, Musician's Friend's customer service assistance was great. Just be careful when ordering any "B" stock items and call Musician's Friend as soon as you notice a problem.
I'll write a follow up review when I get the replacement if that one works fine.

Naval Academy Service Becomes a Family Legacy
Posted on: October 22, 2013 09:00 EDT by MC2 Alexia Riveracorrea
Three brothers attended the Naval Academy. At one point, all three were at school at the same time – as a firstie, a youngster and a plebe. It's not that unusual a scenario, perhaps.
But this year, Lt. Cmdr. Jason Brianas (USNA 1997), Lt. Cmdr. Christopher Brianas (USNA 1999), and Jonathan Brianas (USNA 2000) found themselves in the unique position of being back on the Yard together as members of the Naval Academy staff.
"To be able to come back to this great institution like this – all three of us – we have a greater appreciation for how this institution affects future leaders of the Navy and the Marine Corps, and we are really lucky to be back here," said Christopher Brianas, the academy's director of governmental affairs and deputy chair for officer accessions and career information.
Born and raised in Annapolis, Md., the Brianas brothers became familiar with the Navy and the Naval Academy at an early age.
"Growing up around the academy and knowing what the academy was about, knowing what it meant to serve and the mission of the academy to develop midshipmen morally and mentally – I think that appealed to all of us," said Christopher Brianas.
Attracted by its values and the opportunity to serve the country, Jason, the oldest brother, was the first to enter the academy.
"I really pushed hard to gain entrance to the academy," said Jason Brianas, deputy director of the Stockdale Center for Ethics in Leadership. "After that, everything gravitated towards that lifestyle and profession."
Jason's plebe year was challenging, which helped serve as a roadmap for his brothers.
"I believe my struggles and experience really helped my brothers once they decided to join the academy," said Jason Brianas. "I feel like I was a good mentor for them. I gave them all the lessons learned, and I know they felt appreciative of that. But ultimately they had to perform militarily and academically on their own."
"When you know you have brothers here you've got a bit of umbrella factor," said Jonathan Brianas, Alumni Hall manager.
It helped that all three brothers studied economics so their paths often crossed, he said.
At the same time, because they were in different classes, they had to conform to the rank structure.
"It was different dealing with my brother who was an upper class and being cognizant of the fact that are slightly different rules and different relationships that we are not used to," said Christopher Brianas.
All three brothers share an affection for the Naval Academy and the Annapolis community they've called home most of their lives.
"Being able to come back here and work at an institution that has meant so much to me was really important, being able give back," said Jonathan Brianas. "It was a home when I was a mid."
Lolaine Brianas, the three brothers' mother, also works at the academy, in the Brigade Medical Unit. Having all three sons working at the same place brings her a lot of joy, said Christopher Brianas."It's an amazing opportunity and amazing experience to be here as a family and also serve the USNA mission," said Jason Brianas.

Prior to the official ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday, military families had the chance to spend Super Bowl Sunday at the new Warrior and Family Center at Fort Belvoir, Va.
Then, on Tuesday, the new center officially opened to wounded, ill and injured troops and their families. At more than 20,000 square feet, the new center provides relaxation and learning as they continue their road to recovery and transition to the new phases of their lives.
The center is strategically positioned on Fort Belvoir, adjacent to the Warrior Transition Unit Complex to serve the most important non-clinical needs of the patients and their families.
"What you won't see (at the USO Warrior and Family Center at Fort Belvoir) are the names of nearly a quarter of a million individual Americans that have made a donation honoring wounded, ill and injured troops and their families to Operation Enduring Care. I think when we talk about this center being a gift from the American people that's what we are talking about," said USO President Sloan Gibson.
There are more than 20 unique spaces including a business center, dining room, art room, healing gardens as well as a game room and music room. These spaces provide troops and their families and caregivers the opportunity to learn, share and create memorable experiences. The Sports Lounge gives troops the chance to relax and socialize while enjoying a football game or playing their favorite course on the Full Swing Golf simulator.
At left, the Super Bowl Sunday guests react to the Jeep® Super Bowl commercial that honors our nation's military.
"To our service members and their families and caregivers, welcome home. This is your home," said Elaine Rogers, President and CEO, USO of Metropolitan Washington during the ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday.

The 2012 Islanders Draft Pick and Prospect Rankings (Part One: #37-31)
Over the course of the next two weeks, we're going to look internally and focus on the Islanders own prospects. We'll be ranking the organization's entire prospect pool from Ryan Strome and Calvin de Haan all the way down to, well, whomever ends up at the unfortunate bottom spot. The goal is to give you a picture of who is in the pipeline, what their chances are to someday be on the Islanders roster and to serve as a comprehensive guide for the team's current talent pool.
The main focus of this exercise is going to be on players that have not yet made an impact at the NHL level. What that means is that players such as Travis Hamonic, Kyle Okposo and Matt Martin will not appear on this list. While those players are still very young and may eventually develop into much better players than they are currently, the aim here isn't to recite information about players you hear about every day. We're going to talk about players that have yet to hit Long Island and some that likely never will. There isn't a hard set of rules for this, but the general idea is that anyone who has played significant time in the NHL (100+ games) or is over 25 years old will not appear on this list. Every player not filtered out by that criteria, whether they are under contract or the team simply has their rights, is (hopefully) included.
After searching far and wide, I've determined that the Islanders have 37 players that fit our criteria. We're going to break this up into a four-part series that will be posted over the next two weeks. Today, we'll start at the bottom of the pile and work our way up to the top through each successive post. The players are going to be ranked not solely on skill or potential skill, but also based on the potential of ever being seen in an Islander uniform. For example the ranking of Kirill Petrov, who opted against joining the Islanders in favor of re-signing with his Russian club, will suffer simply because it will be a few more years — if ever — before he will be seen in an Islanders uniform.
After the jump, the full list of Islander prospects and the 31st – 37th ranked players.

Ty Wishart
37. Troy Mattila, F, 2006 7th Round Pick
Senior, Dartmouth (NCAA)
2011-12 stats: 16 GP, 1-0-1, -3
Yes, believe it or not this 2006 draft pick is still on the Islanders radar, technically speaking. Mattila spent two seasons in the USHL before heading to Dartmouth in 2008. Teams retain the rights to college bound draft picks until after their senior year of college, which is why he is still in the Islanders pipeline. The Islanders must make an offer of an ELC to Mattila this summer or face losing his rights. That decision will be very easy after Mattila tallied only one goal this season for one of the lesser teams in the ECAC.
36. Cody Rosen, G, 2010 7th Round Pick
Junior, Clarkson (NCAA)
2011-12 stats: 1GP, 27MIN, 4GA, 15SV
You can't bring up Rosen without inciting a riot in Islander Country as there has never been so much fervor — both good and bad — over a 7th round pick. Snow drafted the unheard of netminder in 2010, saying that Rosen 'reminded him a bit of himself.' Rosen has sat on the bench for the majority of his time at Clarkson. This year he was behind two seniors, so he could certainly see more next year during his senior season.
35. Yuri Alexandrov, D, RFA
23 years old, Omsk Avangard (KHL)
2011-12 stats: 37G, 3-4-7, +7, 28PIM
In late March, the Islanders acquired Alexandrov from the Bruins for future considerations, which are likely contingent on Alexandrov playing in the NHL. Alexandrov's contract was set to expire and the Bruins likely had given up hope and/or use for him. He was originally a 2nd round pick of the Bruins back in 2006 that went back to Russia after a so-so year (19 points in 66 games) with the Providence Bruins in 2010-11. To retain his rights, the Islanders need to make him a qualifying offer this summer. The question is; do they see him coming back to Russia? Someone in the organization might, if they went out of their way to grab him. Either way, it's a no-risk scenario. Quite literally as those 'future considerations' likely amount to nothing.
34. Yannick Riendeau, RW, RFA
23 years old, Reading Royals (ECHL)
2011-12 stats: Providence (AHL) 18G, 3-3-6, -5, 4PIM
Reading (ECHL) 43G, 13-32-45, -1, 20PIM
Like Alexandrov above, Riendeau was acquired from Boston late in the season. Riendeau was part of the return for sending Brian Rolston and Mike Mottau to the Bruins at the trade deadline (defender Marc Cantin was the other, and will show up on this list later on). Riendeau split his time in Boston between Providence and Reading and is a solid point-per-game player in the ECHL. After being acquired by the Islanders he was added to the Sound Tigers roster but didn't play, given the logjam at forward. As more players get added to Bridgeport in the coming year, Riendeau will likely be on the outside looking in. As an RFA, the Islanders need to submit a qualifying offer to keep him — an unlikely proposition.
33. Corey Trivino, C, 2008 2nd Round Pick
Senior, Boston University (Hockey East)
2011-12 stats: 15G, 13-4-17, 6PIM
Another question mark this off-season is Corey Trivino, the troubled center from Boston University. Trivino finished up his senior year in Boston on a low note by getting kicked off the team a in mid-December. That puts his future hockey prospects in serious jeopardy, a tough way to go out for a kid with good potential. In April, the trial was postponed until May 30th.
32. Jesse Joensuu, W, Retained Rights (2011 QO)
24 years old, HV71 (SEL)
2011-12 stats: 50G, 13-16-29, -2, 58PIM
After four-years split between the Islanders and Sound Tigers, the 6-foot-4 Finn decided to head closer to home and play for HV71 of the Swedish Elite League. The Islanders made a qualifying offer to Joensuu last summer, retaining his rights for another year despite Joensuu opting to not sign with the team. With a lot of forwards in the system and Joensuu already given a long look in North America, it's likely he won't be back with the Islanders. The Islanders will have to make another QO to Joensuu this summer to continue to hold his rights. The Finn did have a great showing at the still on-going IIHF Worlds for Finland, as we've noted a few times on the blog.
31. Tomas Marcinko, RW, RFA
23 years old, Bridgeport (AHL)
2011-12 stats: 65G, 8-13-21, -5, 78PIM
Marcinko is one of a trio of Sound Tiger forwards that the team will have to make decisions on, along with Tony Romano and Tyler McNeely. This was the 23-year old's fourth season in Bridgeport and he did make some strides by doubling his point and goal totals from 2010-11. He also skated in two of the Sound Tigers playoff games against the Whale. On a scary note, Marcinko also suffered a cut to the neck during a game in December, something he has recovered from. As Bridgeport fills up with forward prospects, he's another player the Islanders will have to make a decision on and potentially cut ties with. The team needs to qualify him this summer to retain his rights, as he is a restricted free agent.

Some weather experts believe the record-breaking heat in 2012 is a warning that the frequency of extreme weather will increase in Western New York and the nation.
The average temperature in the United States for 2012 was 55.3 degrees, which is 3.2 degrees above the 20th Century averagem, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's State of the Climate report. The new record national average temperature is 1 degree hotter than the previous one, set in 1998.
The temperature climbed even more in Buffalo.
In 1998, Buffalo recorded its highest average temperature at 50.9 degrees. This record was shattered in 2012 by 1.2 degrees to 52.1 degrees, according to Chris Fenimore, a climate scientist for NOAA's National Climatic Data Center.
"That is amazing because things don't jump like that normally in a year," said Stephen Vermette, a climatologist and professor of geography at Buffalo State.
March was 13.4 degrees above normal, said Dave Thomas, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Remove that month from the temperature equation and Buffalo would have had only a 0.1-percent increase in average temperature for 2012.

Dual M.S. Nutrition and Dietetics and Master of Public Health
Denise Chapel, R.D., C.C.C. gives her own professional goal, "I completed a joint Masters Degree in Dietetics and Public Health at SLU. My present goal is to play a major role in helping get acceptable information to consumers to help prevent the onset of disease, especially those affecting minority communities." Other student's professional goals may vary somewhat from Denise's, therefore, the primary goal of the degree program is to prepare nutrition specialists to work in many types of public health and voluntary agencies, as well as medical care and educational settings. Graduates specialize in public health and dietetics and are able to design, organize, conduct and evaluate nutrition intervention programs in the public health sector.
Objectives for preparing public health nutrition specialists are:
- To orient the student to the perspectives and points of view of public health practitioners in general, and public health nutritionists specifically.
- To establish a foundation of knowledge essential to the practice of public health nutrition specialists.
- To foster the development of skills, abilities and methods necessary for successful public health practice in general and public health nutrition in particular.
The length of the program is a minimum of 54 hours, which includes completing requirements for both degree programs. The student must also pass comprehensive oral examinations and complete a capstone practicum research project in nutrition and public health.

How a cucumber creates its curling tendril has puzzled scientists for centuries. Even Charles Darwin and Asa Gray were stumped. Now, with the help of time-lapse photography and prosthetic tendril fabricated in the lab, physicist Sharon Gerbode, biologist Joshua Puzey, and colleagues have figured out why tendrils twist, according to a new study in Science.

SOURCE: ISLANDERS LOOKING FOR A DMANLineups, Lavi, DP, Predict-the Score, XM at 6:05 pm
CB on FanHouse: Stanley Cup or Bust for Laviolette
Botta/Schultz on FanHouse: Silence in the Trade Market
10:20 am – A league source tells Point Blank that Islanders general manager Garth Snow has contacted NHL teams in search of a mobile and experienced defenseman.
"Garth is asking around, trying to make something happen," said the source. "His biggest obstacle is that a lot of teams are looking for the same thing."
The Islanders play in Philadelphia tonight with a thin blue line. Radek Martinek is out for the season. Andy Sutton (groin) could return on Saturday for the home match with Boston, but is out tonight and tomorrow. Bridgeport recall Andrew MacDonald is getting 12 minutes a game, while veteran defenseman Brendan Witt is at a team-low minus-15 and only played 11 minutes Saturday in Tampa Bay. Other than Dustin Kohn in a pinch, the Sound Tigers do not have a defenseman knocking on the door.
NHL defensemen that could be available and fit the Islanders' low-cost needs – in terms of the acquisition price of a mid-round draft pick – include Carolina's Joe Corvo (injured), Aaron Ward, Toronto's hard-hitting but mobility-challenged Garnet Exelby and – in a salary dump but a long shot to return – Chicago's Brent Sopel. Corvo and Ward would be sound acquisitions.
(Trivia note: in his 40 days on the job, Islanders GM Neil Smith tried to sign Ward, but – oh, the irony – was out-bid by the Rangers).
Teams also in the hunt for defensemen include the Rangers and Columbus.
With little action in the NHL trade market, the Islanders will probably have to get by through the holidays with the blue line they have. The best option passed through their hands when Los Angeles snatched Randy Jones off re-entry waivers from Philadelphia last month. The 28-year old Jones is 4-5-9 in 12 games and is playing more than 20 minutes a game since joining the Kings – all for well below the league average salary.
While the Islanders unearthed a hidden AHL gem in Matt Moulson, they did not make the most of their early position in the waiver pecking order and $17 million of cap space (it can't all got to Kovalchuk!). The Islanders did take Rob Schremp, who has watched more hockey games from the press box lately than Peter Botte.
For depth on defense, the Islanders may have to scour the AHL ranks for a veteran stop-gap. San Jose/Worcester defenseman Joe Callahan, who was solid in 18 games with the Islanders last season, is available.
Snow is doing what good GMs do – dropping lines in the water, as he calls it. Although he probably will not land a defenseman this week, he is laying the groundwork for a potential deal in February. The way the Islanders have continued to find ways to win this season, it should not be too late.
PB on NHL Home Ice Tonight: I'll be on with Jim "Boomer Gordon" on Sirius/XM NHL Home Ice beginning at 6:00 pm talking about tonight's game and all things Islanders.
Tonight's Lineup: Martin Biron in net tonight, Dwayne Roloson gets an encore in Toronto on Wednesday. Same forward lines and D pairings.
As if the Islanders' D is not having enough trouble staying healthy, Katie Strang tweeted this morning that Brendan Witt was hit by a car in Philadelphia. This being a hockey player – this being Brendan Witt – he will play tonight.
As expected, Jeremy Reich has cleared waivers. He's a good addition to the Sound Tigers and could be a solid toughness call-up for the Islanders.
For the Flyers, Ray Emery has been placed on IR. Brian Boucher starts. The Flyers are also missing Simon Gagne, Blair Betts and Darroll Powe. Consistent with his slumping team, Jeff Carter has just one goal in his last 11 games – count on one tonight. James van Riemsdyk is goal-less in nine games, or around the time FanHouse wrote him up as one of John Tavares's top competitors for the Calder.
Lavi Thanks LI: Flyers coach Peter Laviolette tonight meets the first franchise to give him a shot as a head man. "The Islanders are always going to have a special place in my heart," the Stanley Cup-winning coach told Point Blank. "They gave me my first opportunity when I had no idea if one would ever come. We made great friends on Long Island, friends we have to this day. The fans were wonderful to my family. We loved our time with the Islanders and will always be thankful to Charles Wang for everything he did for us."
DP Progress: Rick DiPietro continues on the road back in Bridgeport. The goalie took the full practice with the Sound Tigers yesterday and stayed late for extra shots. He's practicing again today."I feel good," he said. Next up: Friday in Springfield or Saturday in Hartford, followed by – if his knee continues to hold up – a home game a week from tonight against Portland. If DiPietro has no setbacks, gets in NHL game shape and sharpens his play, he will return to the Islanders in the middle of next week.
With everything going so smoothly in DiPietro's protocol, a year later it continues to astound that the Islanders never had him start his rehabilitation slowly last season with games in Bridgeport.
Point Blank Night Tomorrow: It's a lock – we'll have our biggest crowd yet on Wednesday night when PB Night moves to SOCIAL, across the street from the Coliseum. Islanders vs. Toronto at SOCIAL on a dozen screens. Guests: Steve Webb, Deb Placey. Free buffet and $1 Bud drafts from 7-8 pm. Complimentary shots after each Islanders goal. Free raffle for all. All ages welcome, 21 and over to drink. SOCIAL is at 1002 Hempstead Turnpike across from the Coliseum. PLEASE RSVP (YESSES ONLY) AT THIS LINK. I'm also on Facebook. Don't miss it.
Kinger Gets the Play-by-Play: Since the game is on Versus and there's no Plus broadcast to simulcast, Chris King will do the honors on the Islanders Radio Network. Last I heard, he's doing the game all by himself. A color commentator would be nice, but if anyone can do pull off the play-by-play and keep the listener informed, it's Kinger.
Deep Thoughts: As good as Atlanta has been, the Islanders are just four points behind them. As bad as Toronto has been, the Maple Leafs are now just four points behind the Islanders.
Score-O!: Predict the score (and the winner) of tonight's game in Comments.
I'll be away on assignment. Kevin Schultz of NHL FanHouse and Barry Melrose Rocks will stop by for tonight's tilt.

Full-fledged, high-quality document and CAD/GIS renderings take advanced technology. Our newly-developed print head has two nozzle lines instead of just one. This increases the number of nozzles by a factor of two. The high-density, high-speed and high-quality print head comes with 2,560 nozzles per color (6 colors) with a total of 15,360 nozzles in total. The addition of a second nozzle line to the print head means that speed is increased dramatically; this is due to twice as many nozzles firing droplets of ink during one pass of the print head, thus applying more ink to the media. The addition of the second nozzle also means that the print head may travel faster across the media.

City police charged 31-year-old Breanna L. Simpson on Tuesday with second-degree murder following the stabbing death of her boyfriend, Henry J. Perkins Jr.
Simpson shared an apartment with Mr. Perkins, 34, at 117 J.B. Wise Place, Apt. 202, which was where the stabbing occurred at 6:30 p.m. Sunday. The apartment is above the Rent-A-Zone store.
An autopsy was performed Monday. Up until Tuesday evening, city police described the incident a death investigation.
Detective Sgt. Joseph R. Donoghue said Tuesday afternoon the department was leaning toward a person of interest in the investigation, but declined to identify the suspect. No one was in police custody at that time.
Last September, Mr. Perkins was stabbed in the right side of his back with a kitchen knife during an argument with his girlfriend, Simpson. She subsequently was charged by city police with second-degree assault and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon in that incident. She pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of second-degree assault and was sentenced to three years probation, 75 hours of community service and a $250 fine.
Mr. Perkins recovered from his injuries in that incident.
His family members confirmed Monday that he moved in with Simpson to the Public Square apartment about three weeks before his death.
Jefferson County 911 dispatchers got a call at 6:46 p.m. Sunday about the stabbing. Later that night, police took bags of evidence from the scene, Mr. Donoghue said.
Representatives from the Jefferson County district attorneys office also were at the scene.
According to a city police news release issued Tuesday evening, Simpson is being held at the Metro-Jeff Public Safety Building without bail. She will be arraigned today in City Court before Judge Eugene R. Renzi.

Type of Session: Scientific
While historical results in treatment of prostate cancer have traditionally been fairly good, treatment failures still occur, as seen with increasing follow-up on older trials. Therefore, efforts have been underway to improve long-term tumor control. One technique, employed by various groups, has been to escalate radiation dose to the prostate, while sparing adjacent normal tissues,with the use of improved modern radiotherapy techniques. This paper reports the results of one such effort, using proton radiotherapy as a boost, in conjunction with traditional photon therapy. Patients were randomized between 70.2 GyE and 79.2 GyE of photon/proton radiotherapy.
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
This study confirms data from at least one other major trial that increasing dose to the prostate/tumor can lead to improved tumor control. While the technique used in this study (proton boost) is available in only a few centers internationally, a number of other techniques are available to radiation oncologists at nearly all centers which can effectively deliver higher doses of radiation to the prostate while sparing normal tissues (IMRT, brachytherapy).
Remaining questions, not evaluated by these researchers, concern the role of androgen deprivation therapy in conjunction with higher-dose radiotherapy. The use of androgen ablation therapies has been shown to be of benefit in both high-risk patients on a prior RTOG study and in a recent multi-institutional trial of intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients.

One of the world's most famous cities is also home to one of its great seascapes. New York's waters are an ecological treasure trove, providing habitat for migratory whales, sea turtles, sharks, seabirds, and other threatened marine species. They also support economically valuable commercial and recreational fisheries. The amazing diversity of marine life in these waters is partly a result of extreme seasonal water-temperature fluctuations, leading to the mingling of both subtropical and more northern (e.g. boreal) species as they migrate through the mid-Atlantic. The waters also encompass an extraordinary array of habitats: highly productive estuaries, nearshore migration corridors, a sandy continental shelf, and deepsea canyons and soaring seamounts that rival the majesty of the American West. WCS's ambitious New York Seascape conservation program combines research, education, and policy to protect critical habitat and species within the coastal and ocean waters of the New York tri-state area. It is a joint initiative of the New York Aquarium and the WCS-Marine Program.
WCS's ambitious New York Seascape conservation program combines research, education, and policy to protect critical habitat and species within the coastal and ocean waters of the New York tri-state area. It is a joint initiative of the New York Aquarium and the WCS-Marine Program.
The New York Seascape encompasses the New York Bight, an area of more than 15,000 square miles that stretches seaward from the coast to the edge of the continental shelf and from Montauk, NY to Cape May, NJ.
Submarine canyons—drowned riverbeds that extend across the continental shelf—shelter hundreds of marine species ranging from cold-water corals to sponges, anemones, and crabs to whales, sharks, tunas, and swordfish. The Hudson Canyon is the largest ocean canyon off the Atlantic Coast and a priority for protection because of its ecology as well as its sensitivity to disturbance.
New York waters are home to 338 species of marine fishes, including pelagic, migratory coastal, resident, estuarine, diadromous, and oceanic stray species.
Four species of sea turtles—green, loggerhead, leatherback, and Kemp's ridley—are regular seasonal visitors, as are many species of coastal and oceanic sharks, including sand tiger, sandbar, mako and thresher sharks.
This seascape is also a hotspot for sharks and rays (nearly 40 species), including the protected sand tiger shark and depleted thorny skates, and is best known for its iconic oceanic sharks, including makos, threshers, and blue sharks, along with an occasional great white.
Endangered humpback, fin, and right whales, and various dolphins migrate right past the New York Aquarium as they make their way from southern breeding grounds to their feeding grounds off New England.
Coastal waters and marine wildlife of the New York Seascape have sustained three centuries of abuse, as a dumping ground for raw sewage, heavy metals, pesticides, and other toxic chemicals. Countless oil spills and nutrient overloads have polluted the seascape, and extensive commercial and recreational fishing depleted many species.
Since the Clean Water Act was passed in 1970, we have made progress in cleaning up the Hudson River and coastal waters. But expanding and competing uses for these historic waters mean that many threats remain: Unsustainable fishing practices result in overfishing and habitat destruction; extensive vessel traffic leads to collisions with whales, dolphins, and large sharks; offshore mining, energy development, and nutrient run-off from coastal development damage ecosystems; and the impacts of climate change continue to mount. Many of New York's iconic marine species are in trouble, despite being given some protection through federal and state endangered and/or protected species listings.
With the threats of overfishing and climate change growing, the next decade may be a turning point for sea turtles, sharks, and other species that depend on healthy marine ecosystems.
Through ecosystem-based management and comprehensive regional planning, field and policy-oriented activities, and increased educational outreach, WCS's goal is to help beleaguered marine wildlife populations recover, and to reconnect New Yorkers to the great seascape at their doorstep.
Shark fisheries have expanded in size and number around the world since the mid-1980s to meet the rapidly rising demand for shark fins, meat, and cartilage. Most of these fisheries are unregulated and undocumented. As a result, numerous shark species now face extinction. WCS is working to improve regulation of the global trade in shark products to reverse the decline of these remarkable fishes.
The groundbreaking of the facility is part of the effort to transform WCS's New York Aquarium and continue the rebirth of Coney Island.
With relentless fishing, dams, habitat loss, and pollution threatening their populations, American eels need our help. Dr. Merry Camhi, director of the New York Seascape Program at WCS's New York Aquarium, and Dr. John Waldman, Professor of Biology at Queens College, describe these mysterious fishes and a unique window of opportunity to help save them.
Dr. Merry Camhi, who directs WCS's New York Seascape Program at the New York Aquarium, discusses challenges for sharks at large, and for one beleaguered East Coast species that is the subject of loopholes in shark-finning regulations.
Reporting on the aquarium's comeback following Hurricane Sandy, ABC News visited Coney Island to talk with WCS Vice President and Director of the New York Aquarium, Jon Forrest Dohlin.
Hurricane Sandy damaged the New York Aquarium, as well as other Coney Island landmarks. For months, the aquarium has been closed to the public while repairs are made, but WCS has just announced that the facility will partially reopen during late spring 2013.
Mayor Bloomberg and WCS President and CEO Cristián Samper announced new funding and designs for the New York Aquarium's "Ocean Wonders: Sharks!" exhibit. The 57,000-square-foot building slated to open in 2015 will house 115 species of marine animals, including 25 shark species, along with 500,000 gallons of water.
The grant will support efforts by New Yorkers to tackle climate change via a public forum on WCS's new Mannahatta 2409 website.
WCS researchers working on a New York Seascape study discover a female sand tiger shark, missing all its fins, swimming through Delaware Bay. The conservationists call the discovery a disturbing reminder about the ongoing threats to vulnerable shark populations around the world.

2015, Coney Island beachgoers will come ashore to connect with sharks, skates,
rays and other fish. The New York Aquarium's newest exhibit will bring people
to the sea, and the sea life to the people.

OSU softball splits pair with New Mexico
CORVALLIS, Ore. – The No. 23 Oregon State softball team has won games this season with outstanding offense and solid pitching. While those things weren't on full display Thursday afternoon against New Mexico in the 2013 home opener, the Beavers used one other key ingredient that has also been a large reason for their early-season success: perseverance. Oregon State (21-5) stuck with it in the second game of the doubleheader and came out with a come-from-behind 5-4 victory over the Lobos.
Trailing 4-1 in the bottom of the sixth, three of the first four Beaver hitters reached. With the bases loaded, Lea Cavestany singled up the middle to score Dani Gilmore and Elizabeth Santana. Cavestany and freshman first baseman Natalie Hampton moved to second and third, respectively, on a Lobo error on the play.
With two runners in scoring position, head coach Laura Berg pulled a shiny new weapon off the bench to pinch run. Senior Mollee Schwegler just completed her final season as an Oregon State women's basketball player, and Berg threw the former all-state softball player right into the mix. Pinch running for Hampton at third, Schwegler soon scored on a wild pitch to tie the score at 4-4.
Junior pitcher Amanda Najdek retired the Lobos in order on three groundouts in the top of the seventh, her third inning of shutout ball after coming in relief of senior starter Tina Andreana. She didn't have to wait long to get the decision and pick up her first win as a Beaver after transferring in from Wisconsin.
On the first pitch of the bottom of the seventh, catcher Ally Kutz sent the faithful home happy when she lifted her fifth home run of the season over the fence in left center. It made the Beavers 5-0 this season in one-run games.
Hampton was 2-for-2 with two doubles into the same gap in left center. Her first inning double scored Santana to put the Beavers on the board. Santana also had two hits in game two. Najdek hasn't allowed a run in 8 1/3 innings so far this season.
Hampton and Gilmore led the way for OSU in the first game. Hampton had two hits and drove in Gilmore with a first inning single to center. After New Mexico took a 2-1 lead, Gilmore crushed a pitch to right field her fourth homer of the season to leapfrog the Beavers back ahead, 3-2. She has now reached base in 12 consecutive games. New Mexico went on to win, 5-3.
The Beavers now pause for finals week and return with a spring break road trip to UC Davis, CSU Bakersfield and Arizona State, beginning March 24.

Through his first five games in Major League Soccer, Federico Higuaín has made an instant impact in the Crew attack to help the Black & Gold to a 4-0-1 record and a four match winning streak. With such production coming from the Argentine, here's a look at how Higuaín compares to similar Designated Players through their first five matches in MLS:
|Team Goals
|Team Record
|Cuauhtémoc Blanco (Chicago Fire)
|Thierry Henry (New York Red Bulls)
|Robbie Keane (LA Galaxy)
|Luciano Emilio (D.C. United)
|Federico Higuaín
(Source: Elias)
Notes: Robbie Keane's first five matches includes the 2011 Playoffs, Luciano Emilio went on to win the 2007 Golden Boot and MLS MVP while helping D.C. United to the Supporters Shield that season.
The wait is over, Crew fans.
Designated Player Federico Higuaín arrived in Columbus Wednesday morning from Argentina. The forward will be introduced Thursday at 10AM EST right here on TheCrew.com via live stream.
Check back later for more details.
Federico Higuaín's move to Columbus was halted by a snag in the Argentine immigration office, but the striker should be in Black & Yellow soon Technical Director Brian Bliss said this afternoon.
"According to what the immigration people have told us, the stamp has been placed into [Higuaín's] passport," Bliss explained. "Federico is en route to pick it up either today or early tomorrow morning. Once he gets the passport, Tucker [Walther, the Crew's Director of Team Operations] will book his ticket [to Columbus]."
Higuaín will not be available for Wednesday's match against the LA Galaxy, but Sunday's match in Houston could be a possibility.
Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuaín, brother of newly-signed Designated Player Federico Higuaín, took the time to talk to MLSsoccer.com while Los Blancos tour the U.S. ahead of their upcoming La Liga campaign. Skip ahead to the 1:30 mark where Gonzalo is asked about his older brother coming to MLS (translation below).
Have you had the chance to talk to your brother Federico Higuain? He was recently signed by an MLS team, the Columbus Crew. Have you had a chance to talk to him about this chance that he has in the USA? And what is your personal opinion of soccer here?
Yes, I talked to him. He asked me about the US, the city I'm in right now, the team we are playing. He wants to know because it's a new league for him. I am very happy because it's a change for good, and I hope he can do things the best way. I saw him very excited, I hope things go well for him because if he's doing well, so are we (referring to his family).

Denton with his model R101 airship and hanger, taken by Sayers for the Daily Herald newspaper on 6 January, 1939. A London Transport bus conductor, Mr Denton had apparently made hundreds of model aircraft and ocean liners, all proudly displayed in his living room. At the time it was built in 1929, the R101 was the largest aircraft in existence. Sadly, it crashed into a hillside in France in 1930, killing everyone on board. Disasters such as these, coupled with high maintenance costs, put paid to the longer term development of the airship in the twentieth century. This photograph has been selected from the Daily Herald Archive, a collection of over three million photographs. The archive holds work of international, national and local importance by both staff and agency photographers. (Photo by Daily Herald Archive/SSPL/Getty Images)

Tennessee is currently looking at several proposals to arm teachers. There is considerable opposition, but these appear to be common-sensical:
State Rep. Terri Lynn Weaver, R-Lancaster, is proposing a measure that would let teachers with handgun carry permits bring their guns to school, with the permission of the local school system. The bill also would require teachers to go through special training, and it would allow them to load their guns only with "frangible bullets," ammunition designed to break apart to minimize the risk of ricocheting.
Meanwhile, state Sen. Frank Niceley, R-Knoxville, says he has drafted a bill that would require districts to assign at least one resource officer, typically a sheriff's deputy or other armed police officer, to every school or to allow teachers to go armed.
State Sen. Stacey Campfield, R-Knoxville, also plans to introduce legislation proposing three options for schools — to have a trained student resource officer on campus; allow faculty members who are handgun carry permit holders to take student resource officer training so they can carry a gun at school; require the school system to assume liability of its students.
Frangible bullets, very smart. Keeps ricochet injuries down. Please vote in the poll at the bottom page of the Tennessean article. For more on gun control, you had better read this Joseph Nee story. It involves the son of Boston Police Officer Thomas Nee, a member of Vice President Joe Biden's gun control task force.

I am a SSHRC-Stipendiatin from Canada and will stay at ZAS for two years (2012-2014). My main research interests are in Syntax and Morphology.
I have a Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada. My Ph.D. dissertation, Form and Function of Expressive Morphology: A Case Study of Russian, focuses on syntax and semantics of Russian expressive suffixes. The dissertation shows that there is no 1:1 correspondence between form and function of expressive elements, which has important implications for the syntax–semantic mapping of categorization. As such, it has the potential to trigger a whole new direction of research on categorization. I also develop formal and functional criteria for expressive constructions that will be of use not only for Russian, but ultimately for all languages. These criteria will play a crucial role in developing a linguistic typology of expressive constructions. The dissertation is available at: hdl.handle.net/2429/424 (UBC website) and www.steriopolo.com (my website).
The main goal of my research at ZAS is to develop a linguistic typology of expressive constructions, an area of linguistics that is currently understudied. What makes expressive constructions particularly interesting is the fact that their meaning ('function') is similar across languages, but their syntactic structure ('form') differs significantly from one language to the next. Modern approaches to categorization assume vague functional criteria to identify the category of expressive constructions, but these approaches lack precise formal criteria. My research plan for a linguistic typology is available at www.zas.gwz-berlin.de/mitarbeiter_steriopolo.html.
Besides my research on expressive constructions, I have been working on the following research projects: (i) The syntax of homophones; (ii) Correlation between gender and inflectional class; (iii) A typology of common gender nouns; and (iv) The distributed GENDER hypothesis (with Dr. Martina Wiltschko at UBC).
In addition to my interests in syntax and semantics, I also maintain strong interests in phonology. I have a particular interest in Slavic yer vowels. In my paper Yer vowels in Russian prepositions, I propose empirical generalizations and a detailed OT analysis of Russian yers. This study is the first systematic investigation of yer vowels in Russian prepositions that shows that patterns of yer realization in prepositions are different from those in roots, suffixes, and prefixes.
Besides my work in theoretical linguistics, I have been involved in the issues of language endangerment, maintenance, and revitalization, particularly with respect to the Canadian First Nations languages. I participated in three language revitalization projects, supervised by Dr. Henry Davis at UBC: (i) "A Dialect Survey of Nuuchahnulth"; (ii) "Ahousaht Dictionary", and (iii) Applicative Morphemes in Nuuchahnulth.
My academic background is internationally diverse. I have taught in four different counties: USA, Canada, Russia, and Ukraine. I have published numerous scholarly articles in five different countries. My academic success was rewarded by 15 academic awards from four countries. I speak six languages (Russian, Ukrainian, English, German, French, and Spanish), in three of which I am fluent.
I have taught various courses at both graduate and undergraduate levels at the following institutions: (i) The Department of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia (Canada); (ii) The International Center at the University of Northern Colorado (USA); (iii) The Department of Philology at St.-Petersburg State University (Russia); and (iv) The Linguistic Centre at the Inter-Regional Academy of Personnel Management (Ukraine). I have a passion for teaching and always encourage students to think critically. I believe that a personal approach and moral support are as important as teaching the skills and concepts relevant to the course.

Byron Generating Station is one of the most reliable energy sources that provides energy to the region's power grid, making it an important part of Illinois' energy mix.
One way reliability is measured is by capacity factor, which is the amount of electricity actually produced compared with how much electricity would be produced if the plant operated at full capacity, 100 percent of the time.
In 2012, Byron's combined capacity factor was 89.7 percent, which is higher than other electricity sources' average capacity factors.
Keeping the plant modern ensures reliable plant operations. Byron spends millions of dollars each year on capital projects to improve and modernize equipment and enhance plant operations and safety.
Nuclear energy uses uranium as its fuel, which is abundant and is of relatively low cost. It is also efficient. It does not take much uranium to power a plant from a volume standpoint. One uranium fuel pellet – about the size of the tip of an adult's little finger – produces the same amount of energy as 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas, one ton of coal and three barrels of oil.

The output from
EXPLAIN shows
ALL in the
type column when MySQL uses a table scan to
resolve a query. This usually happens under the following
The table is so small that it is faster to perform a table scan than to bother with a key lookup. This is common for tables with fewer than 10 rows and a short row length.
There are no usable restrictions in the
ON or
WHERE clause
for indexed columns.
You are comparing indexed columns with constant values and MySQL has calculated (based on the index tree) that the constants cover too large a part of the table and that a table scan would be faster. See Section 220.127.116.11, "How MySQL Optimizes WHERE Clauses".
You are using a key with low cardinality (many rows match the key value) through another column. In this case, MySQL assumes that by using the key it probably will do many key lookups and that a table scan would be faster.
For small tables, a table scan often is appropriate and the performance impact is negligible. For large tables, try the following techniques to avoid having the optimizer incorrectly choose a table scan:
to update
the key distributions for the scanned table. See
Section 188.8.131.52, "ANALYZE TABLE Syntax".
FORCE INDEX for the scanned table
to tell MySQL that table scans are very expensive compared
to using the given index:
SELECT * FROM t1, t2 FORCE INDEX (
index_for_column) WHERE t1.
Start mysqld with the
option or use
max_seeks_for_key=1000 to tell the optimizer to
assume that no key scan causes more than 1,000 key seeks.
See Section 5.1.4, "Server System Variables".

We ran into a condition where we were trying to join on 2 varchar fields that used a different collation. One field was utf-8 and the other was latin1. This was causing a full table scan on a join between the 2 tables. Once we converted the fields to all be utf-8, query went from 9 seconds down to 0.

CANTON The St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators may once again tackle how it apportions workers compensation costs to towns, villages and the city of Ogdensburg.
The self-insurance plan is set up so that towns, villages and the city pay their annual share based on 70 percent property assessment and 30 percent experience over the last three years.
Legislators are scheduled at their next full board meeting to adopt the self-insurance apportionment for 2014, but a review of the formula for the next three-year period could begin later this summer.
At least theyre going to analyze it, County Attorney Michael C. Crowe said.
Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction, an outspoken critic of the formula, said he will make a pitch to have a committee investigate an alternative.
Assessment should not be the main driver of how much a municipality pays toward workers compensation because it has nothing to do with the cost of the program, Mr. Morrill said.
Im going to beg for the opportunity to find something else, he said.
Businesses look at experience and types of jobs. The 70/30 formula used by the county is unfair to rural areas that have few municipal workers but an inflated assessment, perhaps because of waterfront property, Mr. Morrill said.
The town of Clifton should not have its rate over-weighed by summer homes on Cranberry Lake when Massena has a town-owned hospital and airport and many more opportunities for municipal workers to be injured, he said.
Assessment was tied to workers compensation when enabling state legislation was passed in the 1950s. Counties can opt to include experience in the formula.
In 1990, legislators adopted a 90/10 percent assessment/experience ratio. In 1994, they tweaked the formula to 85/15 percent assessment/experience. In the late 1990s, the formula was changed to its present structure.

The Coaching Wire: Friday, Feb. 22, 2013
[dropcap]I[/dropcap]llinois cornerbacks coach Steve Clinkscale is leaving to join Tommy Tuberville's staff at Cincinnati.
The move was rumored earlier this week, but the deal was finally completed on Friday. Clinkscale joined Tim Beckman's Illini staff in January 2012 and after spending three seasons at Toledo. He coached cornerbacks his last two years with the Rockets.
Prior to Toledo, Clinkscale spent one year at Western Carolina (2008) and seven seasons at Division II Ashland (2001-07). In his only season at Western Carolina, Clinkscale worked with the Catamount defensive backs in addition to serving as Western's academic liaison.

CANTON The Potsdam woman who struck and killed a pedestrian while driving drunk in March last year pleaded guilty Monday to the first of eight charges against her on Monday.
Laurel L. Randall, 45, of 16 Debra Drive, pleaded guilty to first-degree vehicular manslaughter, a class C felony, in a deal that would satisfy the additional charges she was facing.
Ms. Randall was indicted by a grand jury on charges of first- and second-degree vehicular manslaughter, first- and second-degree vehicular assault, tampering with physical evidence, leaving the scene of an incident without reporting, driving while intoxicated and aggravated DWI after she allegedly struck Fuli Wu, 59, as she was walking along May Road about 8:30 p.m. on a March 30.
Ms. Randall admitted to drinking that afternoon before leaving a bar with two friends in her car about 8:30 p.m., according to court documents. In court Monday, she told County Judge Jerome J. Richards that her blood alcohol content was 0.21 percent that night. The threshold for intoxication under state law is 0.08 percent. Aggravated DWI is charged when the BAC is 0.18 percent or more.
Driving around a bend on May Road that night, Ms. Randall struck something that shattered the passenger-side windshield of her car. She said a passenger in her car, Stephen E. Coates, got out to see what she hit and told her it was a deer and to just go.
Mr. Coates, 48, 4 Missouri Ave., Potsdam, was also indicted by a grand jury for allegedly helping Ms. Randall hide her vehicle after the incident in his garage. He faces a charge of tampering with physical evidence.
Ms. Randalls second passenger, Leanna R. Perrigo-White, 34, Norfolk, called a friend who then reported the incident to police, according to documents. She was not charged in the case.
According to the plea deal struck with the county District Attorneys Office, Ms. Randall faces a minimum of 1 to 5 years and a maximum of 5 to 15 years in state prison. Judge Richards scheduled sentencing for May 5 and released Ms. Randall under continued probation supervision.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WGRZ) -- October is breast cancer awareness month. The disease is still the most common cancer among American women.
There is good news and bad news when we look at the statistics regarding breast cancer. That's because mammography is so good at catching breast cancer in its early stages when much can be done to not only treat it, but also cure the disease.
A mammogram is a virtually painless x-ray of the breast, and every women should get them every year starting at least at age 40. Doctors stress getting a mammogram only once in a while is not good enough.
"This really is the only test that has been shown in very good, large trials, to decrease the risk of dying from breast cancer. It is the only test that has that evidence behind it," says Ermelinda Bonaccio, a radiologist at Roswell Park Cancer Institute.
Dr. Shicha Kumar, an oncologist at Roswell adds, "Part of the thing about looking at mammograms is not so much how they look as a single shot, but how they look over time as well. And some things that might not look worrisome if they start to increase or change over time, they might become something that might need a biopsy."
The bottom line is, yearly mammograms are important so doctors can spot any changes in your breast.
