The workshop shall be conducted in consultation with the Marine Mammal Commission, the adjacent coastal States, individuals with expertise in marine mammal biology and ecology, representatives from environmental organizations, the fishing industry, and other appropriate persons. The goal of the workshop shall be to identify such factors, and to recommend a program of research and management to restore or maintain that marine ecosystem and its key components that—
(A) protects and encourages marine mammals to develop to the greatest extent feasible commensurate with sound policies of resource management;
(B) has as the primary management objective the maintenance of the health and stability of the marine ecosystems;

The program shall address the research recommendations developed by previous workshops on Bering Sea living marine resources, and shall include research on subsistence uses of such resources and ways to provide for the continued opportunity for such uses.
(2) To the maximum extent practicable, the research program undertaken pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be conducted in Alaska. The Secretary of Commerce shall utilize, where appropriate, traditional local knowledge and may contract with a qualified Alaska Native organization to conduct such research.

text: Ok, I realized something soon after posting. I had forgotten to run config each time I changed kernel options. I now have a functioning kernel. I don't have sound yet though. I compiled opl0, snd, and uart0 (for MIDI) into the kernel. Whenever I tried to play a wav with xmms, it said it couldn't open the device. Whenever I tried to cat the wav to /dev/dsp, it said the device is not configured. My card is some cheap card with a Yamaha chipset on it, and it definately has either OPL-2 or OPL-3. Cound the port be specified wrong in the kernel configuration? If so, can I just take the port part out and let it autodetect or must it be in there? I really have no way of checking the device's port other than taking it out of my computer and putting it in my mom's which I would prefer not to do. Throw me some ideas.

It looks like Samsung is not completely done with their Galaxy S line of phones. The company recently had a table leaked that shows that they are planning on releasing a phone with a 1.4 GHz processor in European markets. The phone has been one of the few that is considered to be a direct competitor for the unlocked iPhone 4.
The information came from a comparison sheet that showed off the new version of the device. The new device looks just like last years original, and is going to be sold for somewhere around $846 around Russia.
Shortly after the information was leaked Samsung came forward to confirm the news about the new phone. It appears as if they decided that instead of having rumors and untrue information floating around the net like wildfire, that they would confirm the phone themselves and start promoting it.
This is very exciting news for users of the Galaxy S line. It is easily their most popular line of smart phones and they have been continually able to find ways to update old devices with new features that keep the users coming - especially when they already have a hit on their hands with the device.
Although the price is quite steep, the additions to the phone show that the company has put some real thought into improving the speed of the device. The Samsung Galaxy S unlocked will be branded as the "2011 Edition" of the device. So far the company has not released any commercial branding for the device. They have yet to announce when they will be releasing the phone in other markets outside of Russia, but with the popularity the phone has already garnered, you have to believe that they are going to look at releasing it elsewhere as well. Russia rarely receives devices first, but this current release of information shows that this case may be an exception to the rule.

LINCOLN — Raise your hand if you can name the two winningest fighters in the three-year history of Classic Entertainment & Sports' mixed martial arts division.
If you can name Pawtucket middleweight Todd Chattelle and Woonsocket bantamweight Andre Soukhamthath, you can go to the head to the class.
Both fighters, who train out of Tri-Force MMA in Pawtucket, have won a record five times under the CES colors, and they will look to continue their winning ways tonight at the Twin River Event Center.
Chattelle will appear in his first main event fight in more than a year on the "Rise Or Fall" card when he takes on a battle-tested veteran in John Troyer of Louisville, Ky., and Soukhamthath will also have his hands full battling an experienced vet in Billy Vaughan of Columbus, Ohio.
Tonight action-packed show will feature nine fights, including the first-ever professional female bout in Rhode Island history between Kaline Medeiros of Fall River, Mass. and Rachel Sazoff of Hamilton, N.J., but the bulk of the attention will be focused on the area's top two attractions.
Chattelle, who already owns two CES MMA marks – most bouts by a fighter (eight) and most first-round stoppages (four) – enters his clash with Troyer with an 11-9 (8 KOs) record, but losses in three of his last four fights, those coming after a banner 2011 that saw him deliver a 4-0 record.
"I'm feeling good," said Chattelle. "I'm feeling ready, focused. I'm feeling like I'm ready to bring the main event to you."
Troyer, a three-time Bellator Fighting Championships veteran who is 14-9 with TKO losses in his last two fights, presents a very difficult challenge for Chattelle. He is an all-around fighter who can take care of business with his fists (five KOs) and on the ground (seven submissions).
"He's a fighter like me, a complete MMA fighter," added Chattelle. "He's a striker and he's not afraid to go for the submission. It should be an exciting fight, a very good main event."
To help prepare for Troyer, "The Hulk" spent a great deal of his camp working out with Greg Rebello, a light heavyweight from Providence and one of the pioneers of the state's MMA scene.
"He's been torturing me," Chattelle added with a laugh, "with conditioning, things like that, so everything has been a little different than usual. I just had my last hard sparring, and that was probably harder than any fight I'm ever going to be in in my life."
Soukhamthath also went through a rigorous training camp, which included two weeks in Delray Beach, Fla. training at the highly-touted Blackzilians compound with such big names in the sport as Eddie Alvarez, Abel Trujillo, and Tyrone Spong.
"They don't play around down there," said Soukhamthath. "When they spar, they spar hard. You better have your guard up because you're not going to get one easy round. Every round is hard because everyone there is that good and at such a high level."
Soukhamthath was introduced to the camp by one of the Blackzilians, Sean Soraino, a Providence native who had trained with Soukhamthath before he moved to Florida four years ago and told the coaches about the Woonsocket fighter while he was on vacation in Florida last year.
"I feel like the sky's the limit after training with those guys," Soukhamthath added. "It made me feel more confident. Everyone there's pretty successful, and we worked out every day for two weeks – sometimes two or three times a day."
Soukhamthath, who is 5-1 (3 KOs) and holds the CES MMA record for most consecutive victories with five, will look to extend his streak with a win over Vaughn, an eight-year veteran, who despite a 12-15 mark (3 KOs) and losses in six of his last seven fights, has Soukhamthath's full attention.
"His record's not the best, but he's fought a lot of the big names," remarked Soukhamthath. "I can probably name 10 of them, and he's even beaten some guys that are in the UFC. He's one of those guys that no matter what, he's going to be tough, and he's not going to be an easy fight."
While Soukhamthath's fight would be worthy of a co-feature on any given night, that distinction will go to the historic fight between Medeiros (1-3, 1 KO) and Sazoff, who will be making her pro debut. Medeiros' victory was an amazing seven-second knockout last year in North Dakota.
Some of the fighters with R.I. ties on the undercard are lightweight Charles Rosa (4-0, 2 KOs), a Johnston & Wales University graduate who hails from Delray Beach, Fla., and welterweights Tommy Venticinque, a Warwick native who will make his pro debut, and Tundee Oduyingho, a Johnston resident who lost his pro debut on June 7.
Only $36 tickets are available for tonight's show, and they can be purchased by calling CES at 401-724-2253/2254, going online at www.cesmma.com [3] or www.twinriver.com [4], or visiting the Players Club booth at Twin River or any TicketMaster location.
The doors open at 6 p.m., and the first bout gets under way at 7. The casino has also waived its 18+ rule, and anyone who is under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult and enter through the West entrance.

"What Matters Most…"
Perspectives on Life's Fundamental Questions
Thursday, January 14, 2010
James Hollis, PhD, noted Jungian analyst and author
Donald Moss, PhD, psychologist and leading Mind-Body Medicine scholar
How do we live fulfilling lives? What is most important for spiritual, mental, and physical well being? Begin the new year with perspectives on these vital and intriguing questions with:
Jim Hollis, Director of Saybrook University's Jungian Studies program, will speak on themes from his latest book, What Matters Most: Living a More Considered Life. Its premise: "We are here to be eccentric, different, perhaps strange, perhaps merely to add to our small piece, our little clunky, chunky selves, to the great mosaic of being."
Don Moss, Chair of Saybrook's Mind-Body Medicine program, will reflect upon what matters most with the perspective of his work in psychology and integrated health studies. He has published extensively, and his most recent book, Pathways to Illness, Pathways to Health explores the relationships between the mind and the body and how these impact how we are in the world.
Join us after the presentation and learn about our graduate programs in Jungian Studies (with residential options in San Francisco and Houston) and Mind-Body Medicine.

"Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows is an eye-opening account of a little-questioned article of faith in our culture: the idea that it is normal to befriend some animals while exploiting others. A step-by-step analysis of a cultural blind spot, it is a powerful blend of reason, compassion, and psychological insight. Please have the courage to challenge mental habits and be curious.

On Friday the 6th of November 7-9 PM, the Windup Space is hosting an artist's reception for Dr. Hieronimus as the official opening of the art installment.
Selections from over 40 years of his symbolic art will be on display at the Windup Space from November 3rd through December 31, 2009, along with selections from the rock and roll celebrity photographs of Stuart Zolotorow. From Brooks Robinson to Paul McCartney, John Lennon and Willie Nelson, Zolotorow has photographed and published some of the legends of popular music and sports, reminding us all to aim for the stars and that our purpose in life is to change the world.
If you've read the new Dan Brown blockbuster, The Lost Symbol, however, you should really try to attend the presentation Lost Symbols Found on Saturday the 14th of November at 8 PM (doors open at 7).

After his presentation, Bob and two assistants will paint a 4 x 6 foot symbolic mural as performance art to the accompaniment of Telesma, "The only way to describe Telesma is as completely breathtaking. From the first faint rumblings deep within the didgeridoo, you are captivated.... Combining traditional tribal instruments with new-age electronic sounds, this music is an unstoppable force."

LeT in Uttar Pradesh: MHA denies police claim
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has clarified that the two Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives nabbed by the Delhi Police had not approached the Muzaffarnagar riot victims, media reports said.
The Ministry has reportedly said that it is not convinced about the Lashkar link.
It said that more investigation is needed into the matter to support the Delhi Police claim that LeT militants approached young Muzaffarnagar riots victims and urged them to join the outfit.
Meanwhile, India's main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday said the Samajwadi Party (SP)-led Uttar Pradesh government must come up with an explanation on the security lapse.
"This is a serious lapse. The SP must give a proper explanation to it. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) must also clarify on the issue," said BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar.
The SP said it will initiate an investigation into the issue provided the Delhi Police shared the information with the UP government.
"There is no need to politicise the issue. We will investigate the matter if the Delhi Police provide us with the information," said SP leader Naresh Agarwal.
Earlier, the Congress demanded that party vice president Rahul Gandhi should be given the credit for 'first mentioning' this issue.
"If it is true, then it supports what Rahul Gandhi said weeks back. He should be given credit for his statement," said Congress leader Digvijaya Singh.
Militants of terrorist outfit LeT are trying to infiltrate into communally sensitive areas of Uttar Pradesh, said reports on Tuesday.
The Special Cell of Delhi Police has reportedly found during its investigations that LeT militants approached young Muzaffarnagar riots victims and urged them to join the outfit.
"According to sources, the terror outfit is trying to infiltrate the communally sensitive areas," reported CNN-IBN.
"Interrogation of two men arrested from Mewat in December also indicated that the LeT was offering money to lure cadres," said the news channel.
In October last year, Rahul claimed Pakistan's intelligence agencies were contacting some Muzaffarnagar riots victims in Uttar Pradesh.
During a rally at Indore city of Madhya Pradesh, Rahul claimed Pakistan's intelligence agencies like the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) were contacting some Muzaffarnagar riots victims.
"A couple of days ago, an intelligence officer walked into my office. I asked him what is happening in Muzaffarnagar? He told me that people from Pakistan are talking to few Muslim youths whose brothers or sisters were killed in Muzaffarnagar," Rahul said while addressing a rally in Indore on Oct 24.
"The officer told me that he was trying to convince victims not to get swayed by them," he said.

HELPER - On March 13, 2009, Ruby Glade Myers joined her husband, Bob; her grandchild, Christopher; great-grandchild, Abby; and all of those she loved who went before her.
Ruby was a beautiful soul who loved her family deeply. We will always hold her in our hearts and feel her presence in our lives.
After high school, Ruby became a WAVE in the U.S. Navy, where she was a pharmacist 3rd class.
Ruby was a life enthusiast. Her interests were gardening; making her yard a beautiful place; watching NASCAR; calling her buddy, Will; the Utah Jazz with her daughter, Cindy; Bridge with friends; having morning coffee; doing crosswords and jigsaw puzzles as well as collecting John Wayne memorabilia.
She loved yard selling with her kids, Brent and Cindy; furnishing her antique doll house; and wintering in Scottsdale with her BFF Ruth.
Her great joy was collecting and rejuvenating Cabbage Patch dolls to give to underprivileged children at Christmas.
She is survived by her children, Brent and Cindy Lu; siblings, June, Jackie, Vernon and Dale; many adoring grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
So long, pilgrim.

Patient-Centered Depression Care for African Americans

- How to Read a Study Record
The investigators propose to answer the following research question: Does a multifaceted, culturally tailored intervention that focuses on the specific concerns and preferences of African American patients with depression and their primary care providers improve the processes and outcomes of care for African Americans to a greater degree than a standard state-of-the art depression intervention?
This study will determine whether two new educational programs can improve the care for depression in African Americans. These programs may include visits with a depression case manager and access to educational materials, such as a videotape, a calendar, pamphlets, and books. One program is a standard quality improvement program for depression that has been shown to be effective in most patients. The other program is similar, but has materials that focus more on the patient's specific culture, beliefs, values, and preferences.

|Official Title:
|Patient-Centered Depression Care for African Americans
- Compare the effectiveness of a culturally tailored intervention with the effectiveness of a standard intervention by evaluating its impact on patient outcomes (remission of depression, depression symptom level, functional status) at 6 and 12 months.
- Evaluating intervention impact on processes of care (satisfaction of care, guideline concordant care, patient involvement in participatory decision making, communication skills) rated by patients and providers at 6 and 12 months.

Several studies document underutilization of outpatient specialty mental health services by African Americans. However, African Americans with depression are just as likely as whites to receive care in primary care settings. Despite their use of primary care services, African American patients are less likely than whites to be recognized as depressed, offered pharmacotherapy, and to initiate or complete pharmacotherapy or psychotherapy for depression. Compared to whites, African American patients express stronger preferences for counseling and more negative attitudes toward antidepressant medication, the most common form of treatment of depression used by primary care physicians. African Americans are also more likely to see depression and its treatment through a spiritual or religious framework. Studies show that African Americans receive less optimal technical and interpersonal health care than whites for many conditions. Depression is a common chronic condition that results in substantial morbidity, functional disability, and resource use. Despite the proven efficacy of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy for treatment of depression, the gap between research findings and clinical practice is wide for management of depression in primary care. Recent intervention work has shown that quality improvement strategies for depression in primary care are effective. Research also shows that cultural adaptations can improve adherence and retention in care for ethnic minority patients. We have created a patient-centered adaptation that includes many of the components of recent successful quality improvement interventions for depression in primary care. The proposed study compares a standard depression intervention for patients (delivered by a depression case manager) and physicians (review of guidelines and structured mental health consultation) to a patient-centered intervention for patients (incorporates patient activation, individual preferences, and cultural sensitivity) and physicians (incorporates participatory communication skills training with individualized feedback on interactive CD-ROM). Thirty physicians and 250 patients will be randomized to either the standard interventions or the culturally tailored interventions. The main hypothesis is that patients in the patient-centered, culturally tailored intervention group will have higher remission rates from depression and lower levels of depressive symptoms at 12 months than patients in the standard intervention care group. Secondary outcomes will include patient receipt of guideline concordant care, patient and physician satisfaction with care, patient-physician communication behaviors, patient and physician attitudes towards depression, and self-efficacy in managing depression. This study will add to knowledge about how to effectively engage African American patients in care of depression and serve as a prototype of how to incorporate patient-centeredness in programs to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in health care for common conditions.

I was there today. Kanako was super great! Polina is a talented skater, but today's Kanako was much better than Polina at the point of speed, energy and performance. Even with the fall on the footwork and the shaky first spin, she deserved to win.
I was there today. Kanako was super great! Polina is a talented skater, but today's Kanako was much better than Polina at the point of speed, energy and performance. Even with the fall on the footwork and the shaky first spin, she deserved to win.
Wow, just saw the protocols. Polina fixed her flip! No edge calls at all this time! So she has 3-3 and clean lutz and flip - truly amazing! I hope we'll see her at Senior Grand Prix series next year
She looked quite disappointment to be in second after Kanako, but she shouldn't - Kanano skated great and Polina will have a chance to win Junior Grand Prix title next year after all.
How old do you have to be to skate at the senior grand prix events? I know Mao competed as a 15 year old (her birthday's in September), so does that mean Polina could skate at SGP events next year? Kanako is already 15 so she definitely can, can't wait to see her beat Mao and Miki !
Also, can Ksenia go to the Olympics this year? She is 16 and last Olympics Elene Gedevanishvilli went to the Olympics and it was her first senior competition I think. Apart from Alena Leonova the Russian senior ladies aren't very good, and Russia gets 2 spots on the Olympic team right?
Shelepen is great, but I don't see continuing to be as successful unless she doesn't grow at all or she fixes her technique. She has some technique flaws (the checkout of her jumps, and some of her takeoffs), which, while nothing major now, seem to magnify under nerves (her first two jumps in the long) and will get worse if she grows.
Silverlake, yes, Ksenia can go to the Olympics. I'm pretty sure that's what she's shooting for. Also, you're eligible for the grand prix the year after you become eligible for the junior grand prix, so anyone skating JGP now is eligible for SGP next year (if they're not already eligible).
Aaaaand my prediction of Christina Gao was right
I'll be surprised if she doesn't make top 10 at nationals.
I can't wait until Kanako skates in seniors against Mao, Miki, Akiko, I bet she could beat them all very soon!
I agree that Polina might have some issues once she grows, her technique is a little iffy. It says she's 5'2" though so maybe she won't get that much bigger. Certainly still looks like a little girl though. I think Anna has great potential for a 13 year old and should go great next year at the JGP.
As for Ksenia, that is wonderful. So will Russia likely send Ksenia and Alena Leonova to the Olympics?
Since you and oleada know quite a lot about up-and-comers in Russian I want to ask, do you guys have info about how another novice skater named Radionova is doing? I wish I could read Russian so I could dig fsonline myself.

Watched the whole free skating and I was most impressed with Ovcharova and Makarova, for two different reasons. For Ovcharova, I noticed that every single jumping pass in this program had either a step or a spiral right into the jump (except for the triple loop for which it 's the usual 3 turn.) Unfortunately didn't have much flow out of the jumps and the jumps themselves were not very high or do not span over a long distance, but still, it's hard to believe a 13 year old female skater is doing this. She also had a nice circular step sequence, her upper body movement throughout her skating was quite well done, and her reserved smile was so amiable and adorable. I really really enjoyed her skating.
As for Makarova, she's so mature in a very good way, and I don't mean it because of her height. The speed, her body control, her posture, and the way she keeps her cool (maybe "noble" is the adjective I night use to describe her in her skating,) everything appeared to my eyes that of a seasoned senior skater. She had a couple of stepout and overturn on her jump landings but those jumps she nailed without a problem had beautiful landings. I agree with everyone that Murakami deserved much higher PCS than Shelepen, but then I also feel Makarova should have received just as high or even higher than Murakami. With Shelepen getting 44.16 and Murakami 47.92, I feel Makarova's 44.00 is nothing but a poor scoring. JMO, of course, though.
I must say I am a bit disappointed by Shelepen's skating. With a big screen her coarseness stood out more than her jump contents. Her jump landings were almost always shaky, and she always had this long gap between the two consecutive jumps within a combination jump with the leaning upper body and the half-bent knee. But she's only 14, she has plenty of time for improvement. I am looking forward to her steady progress in her skating skills and improvement for her jump landings. About her flip takeoff since it was mentioned above... no wrong edge call in the protocol but with frame-by-frame repeats of the two different camera angles that were shown (one in realtime and one in the slow-mo replay) it still looks like a takeoff on the outside edge. But I personally don't really care, wrong edge doesn't deprive me of the joy of watching figure skating. (Neither do two-footed landing and underrotation as far as the flow out of the jump is smooth.)
By the way the highlight of the junior ladies free skating for me was Ashley in the audience section with a cute tri-color striped ribbon on his head
Christina Gao's FS:
I am very impressed. I think Brian Orser's got his next meal ticket
And here is Irina at 14 y.o.
Polina looks taller and her legs seems longer, I think she is more like Mao Asada. And Polina has grown a lot from last year but still can jump
Coudn't find Polina's FS. The link posted here does not work anymore. Does anybody have another link?

A gas well in northern Carbon County works to supply coal bed methane to a Questar Pipeline nearby.
United States Sens. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Bob Bennett (R-Utah) are urging Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to make public the Inspector General's report on the Obama administration's decision last year to cancel 77 oil and gas leases in Utah.
In their July 9, 2010, letter to Salazar, Hatch and Bennett noted that the Interior Department's IG Report that examined the Bureau of Land Management's December 2008 sale of those oil and gas leases reportedly found nothing wrong, and asked the Interior Secretary to make the report publicly available.
"It has been brought to our attention that the [Interior] Department's Inspector General has issued an investigative report related to the lease sale that indicates that it is the Inspector General's conclusion that no inappropriate actions occurred in relation to the sale. This appears to run counter to the justifications that we have been given in the past for the administration's decision to cancel the oil and gas leases," the senators wrote.
"Given the uncertainty of oil and natural gas production in the Gulf of Mexico right now, we believe that it is essential that Congress, in exercising its oversight responsibilities, be given access to these documents so that it may draw its own conclusions about the importance of producing oil and natural gas from federal lands," the senators stated in the letter.
Salazar's February 2009 decision to rescind the leases, after the 77 parcels were auctioned by the BLM and paid for, and following years of environmental studies and reviews by the Interior Department's own land managers, has nearly halted oil exploration on Utah's public lands. Hatch, Bennett and other members of the Senate Western Caucus roundly condemned the decision and in May 2009, Carbon, Uintah and Duchesne counties joined energy companies in filing a lawsuit against the Interior Department.

NEWPORT–After dropping their season opener to Rice by the score of 4-0, the North Country field hockey team had a much better showing against Montpelier, even though they were bested by the Solons 1-0.
"I think they improved on everything," said coach Chantelle Bouchard. "Their spacing was good, their talking was good, and Danielle played a great game."
After the Falcons controlled the ball in the early minutes, the Solons started to find their groove.
Montpelier won the race to the scoreboard when they were able to make the best of a scoring opportunity off of a corner.
NEWPORT–With only four seniors on the 2012 roster, North Country's girls soccer team will be fielding a crew made up of primarily 11 juniors, along with said seniors, 3 sophomores and 1 freshman.
"We are looking very good, said coach Jose´Batista. "They've put in two weeks of hard training and I think that this being Peter and I's third year, it has given us a little more insight of what this league's all about and what our strength and weakness' of our program are."
NEWPORT–From the second that Colton White's opening kick-off was flagged down by the officials, you had the feeling that North Country's season opener was going to be a long affair.
Despite a low scoring first half, it took almost three hours for the Spaulding Crimson Tide to defeat the Falcons 28-16 in new head coach Tim Simoneau's first game.
"It did not go as well as I wanted it too, but there were some good things," said Simoneau. "Our offensive and defensive schemes were working, and I see a lot of potential. Now it is just a matter of execution."
ORLEANS–The Lake Region Rangers kicked off their on Saturday.
The boys defeated the Oxbow Olympians 1-0 to get their season started on the right foot, starting with some good play by their backfield.
"They played strong defensively," said head coach Tom Evans. "They weren't tested much, but when they were they came through nicely."
The Rangers, on their game from the get-go, were rewarded for their efforts when Anthony Wright knocked home his first goal of the season to get the Rangers on the board.
NEWPORT–Trailing 1-0 after one half of play, the North Country field hockey team fell victim to Rice's offensive outburst in the second half and came up a little short, losing their season opener 4-0 on Saturday morning.
"They did pretty well considering Rice is probably the second best team in the state," said head coach Chantelle Bouchard.
Rice was all over the Falcons early on and goaltender Danielle Gabucci was put to the test time, and time again.
The Green Knights finally found the back of the net on an unbelievable penalty shot by Erika Gonyaw.
NEWPORT–Just like many of the other sports teams from North Country, the boys' soccer team also lost a large chunk of their roster to graduation.
Ten players departed the squad with a diploma while one member transferred to another school.
While coach James McKenny has almost a whole new roster to work with, one thing still remains the same; defense.
ORLEANS–Tom Evans is back for his thirty-first year of coaching at Lake Region, and when asked what he has not seen in the game of soccer, it was tough for him to find an answer.
What he does know is that he will be fielding a very competitive team in 2012.
"I am very excited about the year," said Evans. "We lost five seniors which was basically our midfield, so we have our work cut out for us, but we've got a good group of returning players and if we can get the mid-field play we should be ok."
NEWPORT–Last year players were hard to come by for the United Christian Academy boys soccer team.
This year they got all the players they could.
There are fourteen boys that range in grade from 8th-12th at UCA and they are all playing for coach Alyssa DeLaBruere this season.
Three eighth graders will make their debut for the team along with some of new international players, who are still stuck in Korea due to sever weather conditions.
ORLEANS–The days of the being a ground and pound crew for the Lake Region girls soccer team are all but over.
Coach Brad Urie has taken the rough and tumble teams of the last few seasons, and infused a blend of speed and finesse that he hopes will produce the same kinds of results that his previous squads have.
NEWPORT–Losing one or two key players to graduation can be tough.
Losing the bulk of your starters and top reserves is almost mind numbing.
Be that as it may, that is what Chantelle Bouchard and the rest of the 2012 field hockey Falcons must contend with as they embark on this year's campaign.
"It's hard to fill their positions for sure, but as the season moves on we will be able to tell more," said the coach.
As hard as it is to reboot, North Country is going to go at it full steam ahead and could surprise some folks along their way.

As Time Ticks Down on Coliseum, Nassau County Politics As Insane As Ever
Last Friday news broke that County Executive Ed Mangano had sent out a Request for Qualifications as a last ditch effort to develop the arena site. Mangano asked for developers interested in the Coliseum site to step forward by July 30th. The specifications sounded eerily similar to the LightHouse project.
The RFQ, which has a July 30 response deadline, calls for a renovated or new arena for the Islanders — or another unnamed professional sports team — as well as convention space, a biotech park, retail and housing. Officials also want a 3,000-space parking garage.
And of course, the whole thing would have to get past the dungeon master that is the Town of Hempstead. Their most recent victory was denying Sonic, a fast food chain, a new franchise in an abandoned building in East Meadow.
Mangano said plans would have to meet Hempstead 's zoning guidelines. Town spokesman Michael Deery said the zoning allows for an arena and enough development to spur economic activity. "We applaud any efforts that embrace these same goals," Deery said.
Magano's search is two-fold. One part wild goose chase, searching for a developer to revamp the entire Coliseum and pay for the vast majority of the project. That's of course operating under the assumption that Charles Wang would welcome continuing to pay rent at a new or renovated Coliseum and would also like continue dealing with the County and SMG. That's hard to imagine given the icy nature of the relationships.
The second part of Mangano's plan is political, trying to save face before he is up for election next year and Charles Wang's deadline for a deal passes at the end of this year. He may be positioning himself to say that he's now tried twice to help keep the Islanders; last summer's vote and now this RFQ.
On Tuesday night, things got a whole new infusion of crazy when Democrat Jay Jacobs — famous opponent of last summer's vote — decided to announce his own plan for the Coliseum property. And it's really nothing more than an elaborate needling of both Mangano and Wang.
Jacobs said roughly $320 million would come from Islanders owner Charles Wang , along with possible funding from the state, other private investors and a potential increase in sales tax revenue that the new arena would be expected to generate.
"Democrat boss Jacobs offers obvious components that have already been suggested," county spokesman Brian Nevin said. "However, if he has something serious to add he is welcome to respond to County Executive Mangano's RFQ."
At a time when things are looking extremely bleak for the Islanders in Nassau County, Jacobs undermined the County Executive's plan and tried to spend Wang's money for him in one swift press release. If Mangano's plan was a hot potato, Jacobs just threw a stick of dynamite on it.
Welcome to Nassau County, where nothing ever gets done.
"There's 10 years of data, there's 10 years of public input, there's 10 years of nos," Mangano said in an interview.
The current forecast for 2012 is another year of 'nos'.

Hulu Honcho to Hit the Road
Now is the time to bolt from Hulu, CEO Jason Kilar has decided. After a highly successful tenure at the helm, Kilar is moving on, and Hulu CTO Rich Tom is apparently moving with him. It could be that Kilar is weary of struggling with Hulu's owners over its direction. Or it could be that after five years in the trenches, he's just ready to try his hand at something else.
Jan 7, 2013 12:39 PM PT
Hulu CEO Jason Kilar bid a fond adieu to the company's employees, announcing in a blog post Friday that he and CTO Rich Tom will be leaving at some point during Q1 2013.
Kilar made no mention of the reasons for their departures, other than to say, "Rich and I have been fortunate to build and innovate alongside each other these past 5+ years and our plan is to do more of that on the road ahead."
Kilar has had a good run at Hulu's helm. The company has grown from a few hundred thousand in revenue in 2007 to generating almost US$700 million in 2012 alone, he noted in his post. Other accomplishments include launching a video subscription service "that is growing unusually fast" and generating $1 billion for content partners since the site entered private beta in 2007.
The Next Stage
It is clear that Hulu has branched far beyond its startup roots, and it may be that Kilar is leaving because he has a different vision for the company's next stage than that of its corporate owners.
There were hints of this last year when it looked as though Hulu was open to being acquired. Eventually the company decided not to move forward with any of the bids, despite the clear eagerness of Hulu's owners to cash out of their investment.
There are likely multiple reasons for Kilar's decision.
"I believe the main reason was that Kilar was at odds, from a strategy perspective, with Hulu's parent owners of Comcast, News Corp. and Disney," said Francis Petit, associate dean for executive programs at Fordham University's Graduate School of Business Administration.
"Kilar's vision on the future of television, as seen on his blog, greatly differed from Hulu's parent owners," he pointed out.
Once these owners bought out the equity stake of early investor Providence, Kilar had the opportunity to sell back his holdings for about $40 million and find a way to exit gracefully and profitably, Petit noted.
Differing Visions
It is not that differing opinions are a bad thing; however, having different opinions in the absence of a shared vision of corporate direction is a problem, Petit pointed out.
In general, the CEO "should be on the same page as these parent owners, especially on big item strategic issues," he said.
Programming development is one such key issue over which Kilar and the owners have been at odds, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. Kilar had wanted $200 million to invest in programming for 2013, which is more than double what was invested last year.
Hulu has been differentiating itself from its competitors with original programming; Kilar, it seemed, wanted to step up this strategy.
Startup Years
Then again, it could just be that Kilar and Tom are ready for their next adventure.
"Five years is an eternity when measured in startup time regardless of the product," Rich Hanley, associate professor and director of the graduate journalism program at Quinnipiac University, told the E-Commerce Times.
It could be he just wants a break.
"Kilar worked under the normal chaos of a startup amplified by hurricane-force headwinds produced by traditional television executives who struggled to understand the profound shift to online viewing from traditional television by the most covered demographic of all: young people," Hanley explained.
The biggest question is not why Kilar is leaving now, he suggested, "but how he survived the experience with his wits intact."

Lines Provide Strong Clues To John Tortorella's Thinking >
Staal's Condition Growing Worrisome: Is A Veteran Defenseman Acquistion Coming? >
A week ago the biggest issue to be decided in training camp
was who
would play left wing alongside Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik.
Oh, how times have changed.
The top-line left wing battle figures to continue getting
the most attention at camp, but Wojtek
Wolski has taken a strong hold of the position and suddenly the defense,
which figured to be one of the team's strengths, is the unit surrounded by
Injury concerns have limited
Mike Sauer and Marc Staal and suddenly Coach John Tortorella has revealed
that the
team is hunting for another blueliner.
Sauer has progressed nicely and seems like he'll be fine to
start the season, but lingering post-concussion-syndrome symptoms have plagued
Staal all summer and he
was sent him today after reportedly not feeling well.
Losing Staal, the team's No. 1 defenseman, for any amount of
time would be a crushing blow, but is it really time to be searching for a
veteran defenseman?
Dan Girardi, Ryan McDonagh and Sauer should occupy three of
the top four blueline spots to start the season, which leaves Steve Eminger,
Michael Del Zotto, Tim Erixon, Brendan Bell, Pavel Valentenko and Tomas Kundratek
to battle for the remaining roster spots.
If Staal is indeed going to miss significant time, then as
many as four of those six players could be on the opening night roster. But Tortorella seems intent on adding a
veteran to the mix.
Tortorella has called
Steve Eminger the best defenseman in scrimmages thus far and it's getting
harder to imagine him being left out of the lineup. Tim Erixon was a revelation
at Traverse City and has continued his strong play at training camp; he too
should make the team. But Tortorella's
comfort level with Del Zotto, Bell, Valentenko and Kundratek may not be very
high. Del
Zotto could use more time in Connecticut, Valentenko hasn't been
as impressive in camp as he was last year and we've heard nary a peep from
Bell and Kundratek this week.
So even if Girardi, McDonagh, Sauer, Eminger and Erixon are penciled
into the lineup, the team could still need another defenseman or two.
Of course, the crucial component to the blueline formula is
Staal's health. If Tortorella isn't
satisfied with the play of his blueliners at camp, then bringing in a veteran
might be a prudent move. But if he's
growing increasingly worried that Staal could miss a significant portion of the
season, it could become a necessity in a hurry.

News: Jose Reyes scratched from Lineup
The initial lineup today had Jose Reyes hitting third. However, he has since been replaced by Ruben Tejada, who will play shortstop and hit ninth.
…he's walking around fine in the locker room… or, at least he looks like he has since he's been here… so, who knows… hopefully, this is no big deal… but, forgive me if i am a bit paranoid… the word from the team is that he needs to go to the doctor to complete his physical… i'm sure that is true, but forgive me for being paranoid when hearing reyes and doctor in the same sentence…
Gary Matthews Jr. will instead bat leadoff today, followed in order by Luis Castillo, David Wright, Jason Bay, Daniel Murphy, Jeff Francoeur, Fernando Tatis, Henry Blanco and Tejada.
R.A. Dickey and his knuckleball will be today's starting pitcher, with Jenrry Mejia set to pitch in relief.
Today's game will air on SNY at 1 pm.
Updated at 8:42 am:
Steve Popper of the Bergen Record says on Twitter that Reyes must visit the doctor for a second round of bloodwork, in regards to an undisclosed question that surfaced in his physical.
To follow Popper on Twitter, go here.
Updated at 9:04 am:
"I'm fine," Reyes told Adam Rubin of the Daily News. "Nothing serious."

[quote author=HuggyBear link=board=4;threadid=4390;start=#43678 date=1027974406]
For work I am trying to write a web interface to our database. They guys will need to run reports with it. My question it this:
If I have 3 text fields, on an html form, and 2 of them are filled out but one is blank, how does mysql interpret the blank field when using a prewritten query with the perl DBI. Do i need to convert it from a blank to a "*" so that it knows that I am looking for anything in that field ?
if the following is the query i want to use and field3 is blank, what do I have to do to have MySQL read that as looking for anything, in datafld3, instead of looking for a blank field, in datafld3?
select * from table where datafld1=field1 datafld2=field2 datafld3=field3
I would dynamically create the SQL statement. Consider the followin code snippet:
Code:my $statement = "select * from table where datafld1=$field1 AND datafld2=$field2"; $statement .= $field3 ? " AND datafld2=$field3" : ""; my $sth=$dbh->prepare($statement); $sth->execute();

On March 3, the United States Bureau of Land Management announced the establishment of a San Rafael citizens advisory committee.
The agency has charged the panel will exploring the challenges and opportunities to boost on-the-ground management of the public lands located within the San Rafael region.
"There's a great deal of talent among those who know and care about this special place. This new committee will help us harness that energy in positive ways to help us move forward," pointed out Patrick Gubbins, Price BLM field office manager.
Emery County Commissioner Drew Sitterud will assist Gubbins in guiding and supporting the committee.
The panel is not part of a process looking at a national monument or type of legislative designation for the San Rafael Swell, clarified the commissioner.
"That's a debate best left to others right now. We won't spin our wheels worrying about what to call the place. Instead, we'll concentrate on what we can do to make a difference," noted Sitterud.
Concurring with the Emery commissioner, Gubbins called for a pragmatic approach designed to unite, rather than divide, all parties interested in the Swell.
"This is a one step at a time kind of thing, focusing on discrete management issues that we can either consider during the development of the BLM's ongoing resource management plan or even beforehand to improve day to day management," indicated Gubbins.
The San Rafael is a component of the Utah BLM's statewide resource advisory council.
Chartered by the U.S. Interior Department, the Utah council serves as a forum for local citizens to offer advice and recommendations to the BLM regarding the management of public lands.
One provision of the advisory council is the authority to form temporary ad hoc subgroups. The subgroups are typically established to tackle specific issues within a geographic area, Under the provisions for advisory panels, the San Rafael subcommittee will report to the Utah resource advisory council. The council, in turn, will forward recommendations to the BLM.
Subgroups may contain a mix of "parent" statewide resource advisory council members and citizens, explained the Price BLM field office manager.
The San Rafael panel consists of five advisory council representatives and seven community leaders recruited for knowledge and consensus building skills.
"I'm excited about the potential of the San Rafael subgroup. I can't think of a better way to put the ideals of community based conservation into practice," said Gubbins.
The San Rafael citizens advisory subgroup members include:
Dennis Worwood, Ferron, Emery lands council.
Neil Peacock, Castle Dale mayor.
Tracy Jeffs, Castle Dale resident.
Gary Kofford, Emery County commissioner.
Glen Johnson, Green River mayor.
Ber Knight, Moab, ORV.
Michael Jenkins, Salt Lake City, energy and rights of way.
Jeff Durrant, Provo, Brigham Young University.
Bill Coon, Herriman, Back Country Horsemen.
Jim Catlin, Salt Lake City, Utah Wild Project.
Linda Whitman, Moab, Nature Conservancy.
Leigh von der Esch, Salt Lake City, Utah Film Commission.
At the panel's initial meeting, the committee identified dispersed camping and trail systems, law enforcement and monitoring, riparian health, education and interpretation as subjects to address.
The Price BLM field office manager indicated that he looked forward to receiving the San Rafael advisory panel's advise and specific recommendations.
"I also hope the subgroup becomes a magnet for those honest brokers who want to step up to become catalysts for energizing the coalition of interests necessary to translate good intentions into positive actions out on the ground," concluded Gubbins.
