It seemed inevitable their paths would cross in a meaningful way.
After all Misty May-Treanor and April Ross went to the same high school, Newport Harbor, though they graduated at different times. They grew up in the same town, played at the same gyms and learned the sand game on the same beaches.
Of course they have a connection.
Five years ago, so the story goes, Ross was about to form a team with Jennifer Kessy. The new duo played in a secluded practice match against the best: Misty and her partner Kerri Walsh. It was a tryout of sorts to see if they could hang with the best.
"We did pretty well against Misty and Kerri so [Jennifer] agreed to play with me in our first tournament," Ross said. "We got to the finals of that tournament, which is crazy because I spent the whole year before that in the qualifier."
Ross and Kessy were supposed to go back to their usual respective partners after the runner-up finish, but they both sensed something special. So the USC alums stayed together.
Now, who knows? The paths of the famous Newport Harbor High stars could cross again in London.
May-Treanor is seeking her third straight gold medal and wants to close out her Olympic career in storybook fashion. Ross definitely wants a medal in her first Olympics. Ross and Kessy have been training to win the gold in a wide-open women's beach volleyball race.
May-Treanor and Ross are among a dozen Team USA athletes with ties to the Newport-Mesa area or UC Irvine, heading to the London Olympics, which begin Friday.
Ross has watched an impressive career unfold for May-Treanor, a legend in beach volleyball.
Ross said she is motivated by May-Treanor's success, but not so much because they attended the same school and played for the same coach, Dan Glenn.
"I just think Kerri and Misty's success over the years as a beach volleyball team has driven everyone else in the United States, in the world," Ross said. "They set the bar so high. You win a tournament that's really cool. But it's not good enough because Misty and Kerri won like 90 in a row. Misty is inspiring for that reason. You can't just be OK. If you want to be recognized in the United States you have to be excellent."
Ross is headed to London to be excellent. She isn't the only one from Newport Harbor at the Olympics.
The Sailors have three on Team USA, as Newport Harbor alum Esther Lofgren (rowing) is also going to the Games. She had missed the 2008 Olympics by one spot, but now she will be rowing for the women's eight seeking its second straight gold medal.
Newport-Mesa Unified School District has four high schools. Three of those schools will be represented by athletes on Team USA at the Olympics.
Sharon Day, considered the greatest athlete in Costa Mesa High history, is competing in the women's heptathlon. She has a great chance to come home with a medal. After these Olympics she could be building herself toward becoming the nextJackie Joyner-Kersee.
The U.S. men's water polo team, which won the silver medal at the 2008 Olympics, has former UC Irvine All-Americans Ryan Bailey, Jeff Powers and Tim Hutten, as well as former Corona del Mar High standout John Mann.
Tumua Anae, also a former CdM standout, is a back-up goalie on the U.S. women's water polo team that won the silver medal at the Beijing Games.
Sam Mikulak, yet another CdM alum, is competing on the ever-popular U.S. men's gymnastics team.
Former UCI standouts Brian Thornton and David Smith are on the U.S. men's volleyball team, which won the gold medal at the 2008 Olympics.

Self-Scouting: Restricted Free Agents
While free agency won't begin until the end of February, we wanted to take some time to look at the Jets free agent lists, and write up some initial thoughts about their future status with the Jets. Next up, the Restricted Free Agents … for more information about the process see Wikipedia.
CB Marquice Cole — Cole playing commendably on special teams. He also played on the defense late in the season when the team started using him as a third safety, like in the Chiefs game. The Jets will probably like to retain him, to save cap space will not offer him a tender, hoping to re-sign him as an untendered player to a minimum level deal.
OLB Jamaal Westerman — Westerman is a player that's hard to read the Jets intentions. Rex likes him, called him the 'Designated Pass Rusher' before the season, but the Jets pushed him aside two years ago for Jason Taylor, then again this year for Aaron Maybin. Westerman has the ability to stop the run, and can show flashes at rushing the passer … is he ready for a larger role? Garrett McIntyre's play muddied the waters, with McIntyre getting three (one of which was nominal) starts towards the end of the season. When Bryan Thomas went down, Westerman stepped in, playing mostly on running downs, leaving most of the pass rushing for Aaron Maybin. If Westerman could step up, he would give this defense a three down outside linebacker, but it's hard to know if that will ever happen. Westerman was an undrafted free agent and was one of the first players that Rex most prized as a new coach of the Jets, and over time he's taken on larger roles. Even so, Rex might have mixed emotions about losing Westerman, so at most I would see them tendering him to a original round tender. More likely, I see the Jets not tendering Westerman while selling him on why that's a good thing to fend off other suitors. If pressed the Jets will try to bring him back on a short & backloaded deal to entice him to stay in Jersey.
WR Patrick Turner — Now here's an interesting dilemma. Turner was a third round pick by the Dolphins in 2009, and after just one short season with the Dolphins, was cut in the summer of 2010, only to be picked up by the Jets. It's hard to imagine that Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland would have cut Turner without his Head Coach Tony Sparano's blessing. The Jets now have his old coach as their OC … will the new look offense have a role for him? The knock on Turner is that while he has great size, he doesn't have the speed to separate from NFL caliber corners. Of course the Jets just saw Turner catch his first career touchdown in the last game of the season while Holmes was pouting … Turner seems loyal to the Jets and his fellow USC alum Mark Sanchez. Will he risk taking no tender and setting a gentleman's agreement to allow the Jets to match offers? Most likely, yes. The Jets will then weigh his projected contribution to what it would take to retain him and then make a final call.
OLB Aaron Maybin — So far the Jets seem to be able to get away with either low tenders or no tenders while staying in the running to retain their talent. After the flashes that Maybin showed this season as a pass rusher, some team might be willing to risk signing and tendering him in earnest, compared to the names above that would be shocking to draw real offers from other teams. Maybin seems fiercely loyal to Rex Ryan, and to the coach who he said revived his career, Mike Smith. A second round pick would be a high price for any team to pay, but would be fair remuneration to the Jets yet be enough for the Jets to low-tender their situational pass rusher in a year where they don't have the ability to be generous with cap space.

Have Fourth Line Minutes Been the Right Call for Nino Niederreiter?
Unable to be sent to Bridgeport because of the CHL/NHL agreement barring him from doing so, Islanders 2010 first round pick Nino Niederreiter has spent the majority of his first NHL season buried on the team's fourth line. The team did have the option to return him to his junior team of Portland in the WHL but chose not to do so. So, for better or worse Niederreiter has been tasked with playing with the big club.
There's no doubt that next year he could benefit from some time in the AHL. Niederreiter has been relegated to the team's fourth line playing with Jay Pandolfo and Tim Wallace for much of the season. The big difference between Niederreiter and his line mates is that Niederreiter has tremendous upside at the NHL level, and since that hasn't been on display there have naturally been questions and complaints from the viewers at large.
What the coach is trying to do is shield his 19-year old player from those questions and complaints. At the NHL level, the microscope can be very critical of how players perform. Just ask Josh Bailey who spent his first year in the NHL as a 19-year old and has shown both flashes of confidence and self-doubt that can make for a bumpy ride. If the NHL environment is a tornado that can chew up and spit out a player, the AHL is a sunny walk in the park. By playing Niederreiter on the team's fourth line, Capuano is trying to shield Niederreiter from as much of that tornado as possible. With an average time on ice of 9:12 per game, judging Niederreiter on his stats is a lost cause, so you've got to judge on what you see on the ice.
What we've seen on the ice is a mixed bag. His lone goal of the year was a nifty wrister in Chicago coming from his excellent hands that have appeared in the few times that he's had time and space in the slot area. We've also seen him struggle quite a bit with defensive responsibilities. Niederreiter is going to make mistakes and struggle, that's the reality of a 19-year old in the NHL — especially the ones who aren't hockey prodigies like John Tavares. Even a stellar player like Tavares has shown a very noticable improvement in his three years in the NHL from "good" to "whoa he just did what!?". Over time, we'll likely see a jump in Niederreiter's game where he begins to turn into the player fans would like him to be. But to expect him to be a world beater now is completely misunderstanding what even just a few years of age, extra strength and experience can do for a player's game.
Maybe the Islanders have misused Niederreiter by not exposing him to better linemates or extra playing time. We've seen that in the last few games where he's made excellent set up passes that were botched by his not exactly offensively gifted linemates. In a year or two, we may see him bury those opportunities himself or better linemates may net them.
For now, he's being brought along slowly like any other prospect, although this time it's in front of our eyes at the NHL level. To shield him from heavier responsibilities, especially on a team that is in the middle of a "playoff race" is a prudent move. This is a time of year where every game can be important and blame heaped on one individual for a loss (see: Al Montoya last night) where both player and teammates are forced to answer post-game questions about who and what went wrong. Niederreiter faces none of that. Sure, he's made bad plays but none are remembered as the ones that cost a team two critical points. For a young player's psyche, that's not a bad thing.
Next year, the team will have the option of starting him in Bridgeport where he can play heavy minutes on the team's first line. It's not a bad option to have and isn't a step back in terms of the talent level he'll have skating on his line. We'll have to cross that bridge when we come to it but for now, the Islanders seem content to keep Niederreiter out of the spotlight and buried on the fourth line. With a fan base that loves to jump on every under performing player, I'm not so sure that's a bad thing.

IAB Goes Native
By Susan Borst on June 6, 2013 11:17 AM | Permalink | Comments | TrackBacks (0)
"Native advertising" is one of the most confounding phrases to captivate mind-share in the digital marketing arena. We all know that marketers are excited about it, but the ecosystem has yet to come up with a concrete definition of this buzzworthy approach to interactive advertising.
The confusion has reached a fever pitch, with Rob Macdonald, Vice President of Business Development at m6d finally writing down the words that so many have wanted to say…
"Please Obi-Wan Rothenberg, you're our only hope!"
Rob really did include that line in a comment he wrote on a recent Digiday piece - but in all seriousness, the sentiment is in keeping with a widespread outcry from our members.
Native advertising is gaining in popularity, but stakeholders need to coalesce around definitions and best practices, if we're going to be able to drive the native movement to scale. The confusion and chaos must be eradicated, and the first step in IAB forging a path in this direction is the development of a new IAB Native Advertising Task Force.
The group had its first meeting earlier this week and a number of key concerns were immediately raised:
• How do we distinguish between native web advertising and its mobile brethren?
• Is native allowed to be disruptive?
• How can we clearly delineate between native ad content and pure editorial?
• How do we define measurement and metrics surrounding native?
• Where do ad creatives fit into the native mix?
Even with disparate voices in the room - many of them in senior leadership roles - common goals quickly began to take shape.
First and foremost, the task force will aim to establish a framework for the native advertising space by putting forth a prospectus that clearly lays out today's "native" landscape. This prospectus, targeted to advertisers, publishers, and ad tech providers, will need to be clear enough that the industry has a guiding light and broad enough that it can expand over time—while also providing a basis for further IAB initiatives in this space.
And, speaking of further efforts in the space, IAB has also kicked off a new Content Marketing Task Force, which may—or may not—be seen as an umbrella for or a cousin to the Native Advertising group.
So, light sabers aside, IAB is jumping into the fray. Debate, consensus and more debate are surely to follow, but we plan to be at the center of the conversation, providing a clear road ahead for these two vital advertising concepts to evolve into strong players in the digital marketing arena.

MASSENA When Charles M. Schulz created Linus, the lovable Peanuts character who is never seen without his blanket, he had no idea that the character would one day become the symbol of a national organization that helps provide a sense of security for children and teens in need.
Locally that organization, Project Linus, is headquartered at St. Lawrence Centre, where chapter coordinator Virginia M. Galligan collects donations of materials, blankets and money each week to help keep the organization going.
Usually its run out of your home, but I asked national if I could use another location because I feel its better suited for St. Lawrence County, Ms. Galligan said.
The mall has been great, she said. We did a blanket day here, so we already had a relationship with the mall ... theyve always been supportive of what we do.
Project Linus is located in the Sears end of the mall next to the former SUNY Canton space and is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Sunday for people who would like to make a donation, volunteer their time or learn more about the organization.
While Sundays are the only set hours, Ms. Galligan said other arrangements also can be made. Those interested may search Facebook for St. Lawrence Project Linus, as the national headquarters also has a page.
While the focus of Project Linus is collecting and making blankets to give to children in need, Ms. Galligan said she also is hoping to host other projects to promote Project Linus.
Were hoping to have a couponing class at some point, she said. We would like to get more people involved and have some other events. If anyone has any ideas that would be great.
In addition to accepting monetary donations, yarn and fabric, Ms. Galligan said, Project Linus accepts donations of already-made blankets as long as theyre homemade and come from a smoke-free environment.
Every year Project Linus hosts an event called Lets Cover St. Lawrence Countys Children. This year the event will be on Aug. 4 in the former SUNY Canton space next to its office. In addition to holding a blanket and materials drive, volunteers will be on site making blankets to donate.
Well also be teaching people how to make quilts, and Ill be teaching people how to loom knit, Ms. Galligan said. She asks individuals to let her know if they know of a child or teen who could use a blanket.
Ms. Galligan said she has a friend who is a foster parent and each time a new foster child arrives in their home, theyre greeted by a blanket from Project Linus, whose motto is Providing Security Through Blankets.
Last year, which was Ms. Galligans first, St. Lawrence Project Linus collected 166 blankets.
I do this because I love it and I have my own little Linus at home, she said. Its the perfect thing for me to do.
Ms. Galligan may be reached at 608-7974 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Monetary donations may be sent to Project Linus, P.O. Box 82, Massena, N.Y. 13662.

I'm certain that it has only come from the guitar as when not in use it is kept in it's case which is kept closed. It's some kind of soft rubber it's half a cylinder in shape and 7mm long.
Don't know what a piece of rubber would be doing in a acoustic but is it important or what's it's function?
It's been rattling round in there since I got the guitar the only other thing I can think of is it's something that has got in there when it was at the store.

MORRISTOWN A $3.8 million sewer project completed last year has been plagued with problems, with residents finding their grinder units and septic lines frozen solid.
About 10 full-depth grinder units have frozen, backing up the septic system in camps and homes on River Road East, according to Kevin J. Crosby, village director of public works. Three other cases have involved frozen septic lines, flooded grinder units and electrical failures, Mr. Crosby said.
Of approximately 100 units installed in the joint village and town project, 21 have had documented problems, Mr. Crosby said.
You just dont expect to be working that much on a new system, he said.
Town Supervisor Frank L. Putman said, This isnt acceptable the way things are.
The full-depth grinders include a 150-gallon tank buried 7 feet underground – designed to be below the frost line – in which sewage is ground up and pumped along to the main sewer lines.
They shouldnt be freezing, Mr. Crosby said. If you repeatedly freeze a plastic line, its going to break eventually.
Among the property owners affected is Kevin Jaeger, who owns a camp at 461 River Road East. Mr. Jaeger, who lives in Dryden, spends his summers in Morristown and returned Friday to open his camp.
He arrived to find a backed-up septic system.
Septic systems can be winterized by draining them and adding antifreeze. But Mr. Jaeger, like other summer residents, was gone before the grinders were fully installed. Instructions on how to winterize the units werent sent out until December, Mr. Crosby said.
He said the contractor that oversaw the project, North Country Contractors, Henderson, has been helpful in addressing the problems, making frequent trips to thaw units.
I dont believe that they were installed improperly, Mr. Crosby said. They were installed to the engineers specs.
The town plans to meet this week with the project engineers, C2AE, Canton, to discuss the situation.
Mr. Putman said the town will explore just how much of the problem is a result of engineering flaws.
Timothy A. Burley, partner at C2AE, supervised the engineering of the River Road East sewer project and said the issues may stem from inadequate ventilation.
We may have to do something to the venting to limit the amount of air getting drawn across and through the tank, Mr. Burley said.
He said his firm engineered the installation of the grinders according to the specifications of manufacturer E/One Sewer Systems.
As they unthaw were planning on doing a full inspection, he said.
Mr. Burley said units that were installed at shallower depths and winterized did not freeze.
We just hadnt planned on winterizing some of the full-size ones, Mr. Burley said.
Because the projects contracting warranty is up in August, the town and village will be on the hook for any additional work that has to be done to the system after that point.
Mr. Crosby said the date of the warrantys expiration means officials wont really know if the problems have been solved until well afterward – probably next spring.
Each grinder costs about $2,500, so if multiple grinders have to be repaired next spring, repair could be costly, Mr. Crosby said.
Were just trying to get everything straightened out, he said.

About 7000 calories...
are how much you need to eat to put on 1kg (2.2lbs) of bodyweight. That does not happen over night, but after 5 weeks of eating a mere 200 calories too much youll have added that kilo of fat. And as you might expect: Fast food will achieve this even faster.
Now for the good news:
The reverse is also true! Losing 1kg (2.2lbs) of body fat only requires you too burn or cut back 7000 calories. But this also doesnt happen over night. So dont believe in false promises like "Lose 4kg (8.8lbs) in 10 days!
You can do it!
Dont fear the magical 7000! Set yourself small, achievable goals; this will give you a sense of achievement and helps you pull through. Calories calculates your personal calories limit, day by day until youve accomplished your goal. And to prevent the infamous yoyo-effect also for the time after youve reached your target.

State Supreme Court Justice Hugh A. Gilbert will determine whether the city of Watertown must go to arbitration with its firefighters over the issue of which city department should conduct commercial building inspections.
Watertown Professional Firefighters Association Local 191 and the city are at odds over a decision to have the code enforcement office handle all building inspections, a responsibility firefighters undertook for decades.
In February, the union filed a demand with the state Public Employment Relations Board seeking arbitration of its claim that commercial code inspection was to be done by its members. The city is seeking a court order staying the arbitration, arguing the issue is not subject to arbitration because the change in inspections resulted from a change in local law. A hearing was held Monday for both sides to argue whether the matter should be allowed to proceed to arbitration.
The city formally removed the firefighters from the inspection when the City Council enacted a local law in 2005 that said the code enforcement supervisor, as well as inspectors within the code enforcement office designated by the city manager, are to be responsible for commercial building inspections. In 2012, two firefighters were assigned to the code enforcement office to help code enforcement inspectors with the work.
The firefighters countered the work should be done exclusively by union members, not civilians in the code enforcement office, in part because the inspections give firefighters a chance to familiarize themselves with the interior of buildings, information that could be beneficial during a fire.
The Fire Department is not empowered to conduct these inspections, plain and simple, Robert J. Slye, the citys attorney, told Judge Gilbert.
Mr. Slye said the inspections the Fire Department conducted were riddled with errors and seldom resulted in any enforcement action. He said the city agrees that, for the sake of firefighters safety, the firefighters should familiarize themselves with commercial buildings, but it should be a voluntary process done without an inspection sheet in one hand and a violation notice in the other.
The unions attorney, Nathaniel G. Lambright, Syracuse, told Judge Gilbert taking away the firefighters ability to conduct the inspections exclusively represents a change in union members contracts, making the change subject to arbitration. He said the union will not ask an arbitrator to restore inspection duties to all line firefighters, but were just saying that this work has to be done by firefighters, even if that means being done by the two members assigned to the code enforcement office.
Judge Gilbert reserved decision on whether to allow the matter to proceed to arbitration.

The White House task force led by Vice President Joe Biden (shown in photo) unveiled some of its proposals to infringe on the right to keep and bear arms Tuesday, a plot that critics say would lay the framework for gun registration and eventual confiscation. Among other schemes, the Obama administration is plotting to adopt almost 20 "executive orders" on gun control while pushing for more draconian legislation, drawing a prompt and fierce rebuke from advocates of the Second Amendment. One Republican in Congress is even threatening to file articles of impeachment.
According to news reports citing Democrat lawmakers, Obama plans to impose a wide range of controversial measures by executive fiat. In other words, because Congress is unlikely to help assault gun rights at this point — even some Democrats have called his proposals "very extreme" — the president plans to pursue his anti-Second Amendment agenda by issuing unconstitutional decrees. Critics in Congress and in state governments nationwide, however, contend that such lawlessness would be unacceptable.
Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas), for example, warned that if Obama tried to adopt gun control by executive order, Congress could be forced to consider impeachment. "The very purpose of the Second Amendment is to stop the government from disallowing people the means to defend themselves against tyranny," he explained. "Any proposal to abuse executive power and infringe upon gun rights must be repelled with the stiffest legislative force possible."
Obama's threats are literally an assault on the foundation of America, Stockman continued. "If the president is allowed to suspend constitutional rights on his own personal whims, our free republic has effectively ceased to exist," he said Monday. "I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment."

(Editors note: In reaction to several questions and calls about the article on the presentation that Mike Swensen from the USA-All organization did on June 20 at the Carbon County Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon, the Sun Advocate has decided to run three articles discussing the issues related to House Bill 148, which asks the federal government to turn over certain lands to the state of Utah. This is an opinion piece that supports the bill and the movement. It comes from a paper the Constitutional Defense Council put together in November of 2012. The next article in the series will run on July 9.)
Utah, the West and the nation are at a crossroads with respect to the ownership and management of the public lands.
Re-examination of public lands policy has become an economic, education, resource stewardship, and employment imperative. We can continue on the present path of economic inefficiency and bureaucratic dysfunction in which the public lands deteriorate, or we can, through careful examination and good-faith discussion, develop a new model for public land management and use, a model that restores the forests and rangelands, promotes the responsible development of mineral and energy resources, enhances the economy at all levels of government, and also insures that those public lands of greatest scenic and natural beauty are forever protected for the use and enjoyment of all Americans.
The issues are complex and significant, and their resolution requires bold actions that will call into question policies and ideas that have dominated the last few decades. The passage of H.B. 148, "Transfer of Public Lands Act and Related Study,"by the Utah Legislature in its 2012 General Session and signed into law by Governor (Gary) Herbert, provides the basis for such a bold action. The Utah Constitutional Defense Council (CDC) believes that H.B. 148 can serve as the catalyst for an open and honest discussion of a public lands policy suitable for the twenty-first century.
At the outset, it is important to understand which "public lands" H.B. 148 addresses. H.B. 148 expressly excludes from any such transfer national parks, all national monuments (except the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument), specific Congressionally-designated wilderness areas, Department of Defense areas and
tribal lands. Primarily, the lands being studied for transfer are public lands presently administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the United States Forest Service (USFS).
Legal justification for the transfer of the public lands into State ownership is based on the history of federal land policy. From the inception of this Nation and through much of its history, it was the policy of the federal government to dispose of the public lands both to pay off federal debt and to encourage the settlement of western lands for the benefit of the states and the nation. Indeed, most of the states east of the Colorado-Kansas state line have very little federal public lands within their borders as a result of the historical implementation of this policy. This policy of disposal was very much a part of the various enabling acts that authorized new states to join the Union. In Utah's Enabling Act, the citizens of Utah agreed to "disclaim title" to, and agreed to refrain from taxing the public lands
"until the title thereto shall have been extinguished by the United States."
Significantly, these terms for disposal of the public lands in Utah's Enabling Act are the same terms found in Enabling Acts for many states east of Colorado where the federal government carried out a timely disposal of the public lands. This disclaimer of title was only intended to facilitate the disposal of the public lands so that, eventually such lands would contribute to the revenue bases of federal, State and local governments.
The required disposal of the public lands by the United States over time was a significant benefit of the bargain
made by the State of Utah with the federal government at the time of statehood. In addition to the future expectation of taxable lands, Utah was also promised 5 percent of the proceeds from the sale of the public lands held by the federal government "which shall be sold" following statehood. The subsequent and unilateral termination of the disposal policy to one of permanent retention by the federal government is a repudiation of Utah's statehood bargain. Lands which, at the time of statehood, were anticipated to be a source of revenue are now largely unproductive. The subsequent actions of the federal land management agencies have reduced the ability of the citizens of Utah to make a living from the land, denied the Nation much needed energy and mineral resources, limited the State's ability to fund education and have led to poor stewardship of the land.
The question of whether the Property or Supremacy Clauses of the United States Constitution permit this unilateral reversal in federal land policy or repudiation of the terms of the State's enabling act is not resolved, because no federal appellate court has directly addressed this issue. However, the larger and more significant question is whether the shift from disposal to permanent federal retention of a large portion of public lands in the Western States is good public policy today. This is not a new question.
In the 1840s and 1850s, Illinois, Missouri, and several other States, repeatedly complained to Congress that they could not educate their children, provide economic opportunities for their citizens, and conduct their affairs as sovereign States because the federal government had failed for decades to dispose of the public lands that comprised nearly 90 percent of the lands in their States. However, these "Western States" banded together and succeeded in compelling the federal government to timely dispose of their public lands.
Examples of federal inefficiency and mismanagement abound. These difficulties are not attributable to the
efforts of capable federal employees, but are, instead, symptomatic of the non-functioning federal land management policies and processes. For example, decades of misguided fire-suppression policies, severe cutbacks in
logging and inadequate funding for forest restoration, have exposed our national forests and our critical watersheds
to the risk of calamitous wildfires, declining forest productivity, disease and insect infestations. In contrast,
forestry efforts on private lands, and in other countries such as Canada, are regenerating healthy productive
forests and, thereby, contributing to economic prosperity. In fact, federal management of the public lands has proven
to be costly, inefficient and, at times, even dysfunctional, resulting in a resource that is both less productive and in
environmental decline.
The public lands presently do not pay for their own management costs and must be heavily subsidized by the American taxpayer. Present programs and restoration efforts are underfunded and, given the size and scope of the federal deficit, it is likely that even fewer dollars will be appropriated for the public lands in the years ahead. Meanwhile, federal grazing policies are leading to a general decline in forage productivity and the ability of the land to support both livestock and wildlife. In contrast, cooperative stewardship efforts on private lands, such as the Deseret Land and Livestock operation in Summit and Rich Counties, are clear examples of proper stewardship, unhindered by bureaucratic regulation, which create a haven for wildlife and livestock alike.
Utah contains world-class energy resources. In May of 2012, the U.S. Government Accountability office provided testimony to Congress that oil shale deposits located in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming contained three trillion barrels of oil, half of which may be recoverable, and is an amount which approximately equals the entire world's
proven oil reserves. A large majority of this energy resource is locked up in federally controlled land. It is estimated that two-thirds of Utah's energy resources are located on federally-owned lands.
Utah's ability to access and responsibly develop those resources is often thwarted by federal rules, regulations, processes and management policies. Thesefederal policies also have stymied revenue opportunities that could have been realized from development of resources on many of the State lands held by the Utah State Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) for the benefit of Utah's schools. To further illustrate this disparity, from 1998 to 2001, mineral production on federal land returned five dollars for every dollar spent, whereas States that produce minerals on their own lands see a return of forty-five dollars for every dollar spent.
While these results are disturbing, they reflect more systemic problems. Federal public lands policy is a jumble of inconsistent, sometimes conflicting, statutes, regulations and judicial pronouncements that have evolved ad hoc
over the past century. The four federal public lands agencies (BLM, USFS, the National Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service) each have their own budgets, missions, objectives, processes and governing regulations which may or may not be complementary. Because most revenues that flow into these agencies are returned to the general fund,
funding for federal land management predominantly comes in the form of annual appropriations from Congress. Thus funding decisions are uncertain and become snarled in the push and pull of routine politics.
Appropriations are directed more toward satisfying political constituencies than in addressing the environmental and economic needs on-the-ground. Furthermore, federal land policies change with each presidential administration, leaving land managers with no long-term continuity. As long as policy and funding decisions are left in the hands of remote officials in Washington D.C., who have little understanding of the needs and desires of those with local interests who actually live, work and recreate on the public lands, land policy will continue to be buffeted by political winds. In contrast, bringing these decisions back to the State can better focus management on the most important priority: proper stewardship of the land. Who better to manage the lands than Utahns who have worked the land for generations, and who treasure the great beauty of the land?
Federal land decision-making is also burdened by an administrative process that needlessly complicates and delays necessary actions The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), for example, was enacted to ensure that environmental impacts were taken into account by public decision makers. Likewise, land use planning under the National Forest Management Act (NFMA) and the Federal Lands Policy Management Act (FLPMA) attempts to make the process of public land decision-making better informed and more rational. While the intent of such procedural
requirements is laudable, in practice these procedures have become an obstacle and a stumbling block to effective land management. These problems have long been widely recognized by scholars and other students of public lands policy. Indeed, even the Forest Service acknowledged in its own 2002 study, The Process Predicament: Statutory, regulatory and administrative requirements impede the efficient, effective management of the National Forest System. As long as they do, the Forest Service's ability to achieve healthy, resilient ecosystems and otherwise meet its multiple use mission will remain in doubt, undermining public confidence in the agency
With all the procedural requirements governing activities on the public lands, many decisions are long delayed. The mandatory pre-decisional study and analysis, coupled with post-decisional appeals and litigation, makes it
almost impossible in practice for public land managers to be responsive to needs-on-the ground as they arise. The delays not only jeopardize the health of the lands, they also drive away investment dollars and employment opportunities that would otherwise be committed to resource rehabilitation and development. Paradoxically,
delays occasioned by these protracted decision-making challenges have often led to the destruction or diminishment of the very ecosystems sought to be protected. Rather than foster cooperation and early dispute resolution, the existing process actually deters such collaboration.
Given the failings of existing federal lands policy - how would the transfer of the public lands into State ownership make for better policies? Utah has a proven record of efficient and fiscally responsible management. The "best managed State" in the country prides itself in its history of sound fiscal decision-making. In the area of land management, on its own State lands, it has effectively balanced the multiple interests of farmers, ranchers, recreationists, oil and gas developers, miners, hunters, fisherman and tourists alike. Through existing State agencies, including the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Agriculture and Food, SITLA and the Department of Environmental Quality, Utah already has the technical expertise to properly manage the many resources as well as the complex environmental and social issues related to the use of lands in Utah. Multiple-use and sustained yield have
long been mandates in Utah's land strategies, and Utah has proven itself to be a good steward of the land
As America's leading political thinkers have recognized since the founding years, the closer decision-making is to the land and to the people who make use of the land, the more informed it will be as to the conditions of the land
and the needs and desires of those who live, work and recreate there. Accordingly, decisions made by State and local officials whose lives and livelihoods depend upon the wise stewardship of these lands will better reflect local needs and desires. Improved land management will also serve the national interest in maximizing the economic productivity and environmental benefits of the lands. Processes are already in place in many of the previously mentioned agencies of Utah government to ensure ample public participation both before and after decisions are made. For example, compared to the federal system, state permitting processes are much more efficient, while still providing equivalent protections.
Before fully informed judgments can be made as to the ideal structure of public land management and the
configuration of lands transfers to the State, Utah requires additional information and analysis. Present and potential
revenues must be measured and the State must study mechanisms to formalize and protect existing interests, such as mineral and grazing leases. State and county revenue sharing must be protected.
These and many other considerations must be thoughtfully reviewed and understood. Accordingly, the CDC is recommending the creation of a Public Lands Interim Commission to conduct a full management study and economic analysis of the issues, and to then make recommendations concerning land transfers, management policy and the eventual creation of a permanent public lands agency in Utah.H.B. 148 is neither a "land grab" nor a "political stunt" as some have alleged.
Rather, it is an earnest effort to draw attention to a federal public lands policy that does not manage for multiple use, does not pay for itself, does not protect the land and does not meet today's challenges. Under a new public lands system, the lands will remain public. The CDC believes the lands should be retained in State ownership and control so that they can forever benefit not only the people who live, work and recreate on them, but for all Utahns who seek an education for their children and an enhancement in their lives. Under this new paradigm, Utah public land use decisions will be governed by a commitment to clean air and water, healthy and productive lands, abundant and diverse wildlife populations and conservation of unique and sensitive areas.
The intent of H.B. 148 is to set in motion a process by which, after decades of neglect and dysfunction, Utah's rights and needs can be satisfied and our public lands can receive the stewardship they deserve. As this Nation of equal states finds itself over 226 years of age, it is time to evaluate whether federal ownership of more than half, and in some cases, three-quarters of the public lands in the Western States, is appropriate or reasonable.
This process must address the complexities of public lands policies, and it must acknowledge the many voices of those who live, work and recreate on the public lands. The CDC commends and fully supports the pathway to a balanced and constructive public lands policy that H.B. 148 envisions and calls upon State and local government officers, education and community leaders to engage in a dialogue that leads to a solution big enough to address Utah's pressing needs for education equality, economic self-reliance, and a modern public lands system that will protect the environmental quality of our cherished lands and resources.
With proper discussion and analysis, and a good faith dialogue with the federal government, the CDC firmly believes that a more balanced public lands policy can be achieved. A sensible reassessment of current land ownership patterns can provide us with an unprecedented opportunity to restore and improve the management of the public lands in Utah, and will provide a firm commitment that future generations will be able to inherit land and resources that will benefit and sustain them.

NEWPORT–A long trying season has probably come to an end for the North Country boys soccer team. With their 1-0 loss to Colchester yesterday, the team is mathematically eliminated from the play-offs, although a small ray of hope exists if one Vermont school's budget does not pass, then said school will be forced to put all of their extra curricular activities on the shelf.
As for Thursday's action, it was an emotional, physical game at Falcon field that saw North Country have several chances to score, but fall short in their attempts.
Said Coach McKenny, "The guys came in with a little bit of pressure, knowing they needed a win to help our chances at the post season, and you know Colchester is a feisty team and we got involved."
In the first half, signs that the match was going to be a chippy were evident from the get go. 50/50 balls were met with a lot of contact, 1-on-1 encounters had a little extra shoving, but for the most part the refs let them play.
Nate Stewart had a glorious opportunity to get his team on the board fifteen minutes into the game. He broke down on the left side of Laker goalie Matt McBride, and pushed the ball past a Colchester defender. McBride would come out to challenge the ball, and Stuart moved to left of the goalie leaving a wide open net to shoot at, but the shot would be a little to wide and bounce off the side f the goal.
That would be the best chance in the first half for North Country, and for Colchester, they were kept for the most part out of the danger areas in the first, and anything they threw at Logan Fortier was stopped with relative ease.
In the second half, the games' lone goal would come just four minutes after the start of play.
With Colchester swirling in the Falcon end Jason Van Kampen took a what appeared to be a routine shot towards Fortier, but at the last second Alec Brigante made a perfect screen, blocking Fortiers view of the ball, and thus allowing the ball to go in.
After the goal the physicality in play was turned up to eleven.At the 30:00 minute marker Clint Provencha and Colchester's Caleb Mann were issued yellow cards for a minor scrum that occurred in the middle of the Falcon end.
A lot of extra contact was made after plays were made, making the contact in the first half seem pale by comparison.
Cody Halikas also drew a card in the second for coming in hard and crunching an opposing player. If he had been on the ice, it would have been a nice hit, but we are still a month away from hockey season.
The Lakers were no angels either, but their mistakes could have been way more costly had NCU been able to convert on their chances. At least two infractions took place within a yard of the 18, one in particular on Josh Brien looked like it was inside the box, but the ball was spotted about a foot outside.
Again, as it has all season, it came back to being unable to finish, although there was nothing the Falcons could do when they beat the McBride on one of the kicks, only to have a Laker defender clear the ball out before it could cross the line.
"It has been a quirky season," said McKenny in reference to his teams' low offensive output, "having those opportunities and the ball just bouncing away, or players getting in the way of other's shots. Players knew we needed to capitalize, but for some reason this year we just did not have the finishers that we've had in other seasons."
Nate Stewart had a similar moment for North Country in the late stages of the game, just after the Halikas yellow, which still kept the Falcons in the game with just over a minute to go.
In the final minute, Fortier, like he did against BFA, left his goal to be an extra attacker, but the team was unable to get anything past McBride on this day as Colchester held on for their ninth win of the season.
"It took us awhile to adjust to the size of the field," said Laker Coach Dennis McCannell, "In the second half we were able to put the ball on the ground and control things."
On a positive note, Adam Viens made it all the way back from his broken leg to make an appearance in Thursday's game, his first, and maybe only game of the year.
"It felt really good to be on the field with the guys," said Viens, "The leg is real strong, and it was awesome to be out there with the seniors in their last game and I couldn't ask for anything more."
Now it is a matter of waiting for North Country, as they will sit by and await the unnamed school's budget to pass or fail inorder to find out their play-off fate.

Instead of rising in the wee hours of the morning, those seeking to get a jump start on Black Friday shopping in Watertown may do so Thursday night after capping off their Thanksgiving as stores are opening earlier this year.
And shoppers should have plenty of Canadians to compete with in checkout lines as hotel managers on Arsenal Street where shopping will be concentrated say their rooms are booked.
To lure more traffic, giant big-box stores and other retailers are electing to open their doors earlier for Black Friday this year. Sears and Walmart are breaking new ground by opening at 8 p.m. Thursday, for example, while Target will kick off its sales at 9 p.m.
Retailers at the Salmon Run Mall, which will open at midnight, expect more traffic during the early morning hours because of the trend. Sears, which opened at 4 a.m. Friday last year, has geared up for its 8 p.m. Thursday opening by scheduling all of its roughly 100 employees to work shifts from Friday through Saturday, said manager Scott C. Raines.
This is going to give customers more choices, Mr. Raines said. They can now shop after Thanksgiving dinner if they want to. The hours also help us compete with JCPenney, Lowes and Best Buy.
And the mall is expected to be packed with more shoppers this year, he said, because many stores are opening at midnight instead of later in the morning.
Historically, most of them have waited to open until 4 or 6 a.m., he said. Foot traffic will be up and down the mall at midnight.
Deb, a womens clothing store at the mall, will open at midnight Friday after starting at 4 a.m. last year. All store merchandise will be marked 50 percent off for the sale, and store employees will be dressed for the occasion by wearing glittering attire adorned with sequins, said assistant manager Amelia G. Small. Selecting matching outfits is a tradition for Black Friday at the retail outlet, where the staff dressed in red outfits last year.
Its going to be no holds barred here and our employees are very excited, she said. We had people fighting to work the midnight shift here.
Mrs. Small who will wear a sequined skirt with black leggings and a glittery tanktop and cardigan said employees were given a 50 percent discount to buy their outfits for Black Friday earlier in the week. And to keep their stomachs full to get through the morning, the staff members organized a massive potluck. Theyll be fueled by candy and snacks in the evening along with doughnuts and orange juice in the morning.
Mall manager Mary P. Dudo called Black Friday the kickoff of the holiday season for many families in Watertown.
Retail stores at the mall have opened early for years, she said, but more are choosing to open at midnight or sooner this year.
Rooms booked at Arsenal Street hotels that will be filled mostly by Canadians signal more people than last year will cross the border to shop during the weekend. The Holiday Inn Express and Hilton Garden Inn in the City Center Plaza have booked rooms from Thursday through Saturday.
One of the factors contributing to the increased traffic this year is a Canadian policy launched in June allowing shoppers to bring back more merchandise without paying duty fees, said Holiday Inn Express general manager Charlotte H. Waterson. Canadians can now take back $200 in merchandise after a 24-hour stay and $800 after a 48-hour stay. They were previously allowed to bring back exempt merchandise totaling $50 for 24 hours and $400 for 48-hour visits.
When they can take back more, it has just the same increase on how much theyre going to spend, she said. Canadians are coming to shop sooner this year.
Among the hotels 115 rooms booked for this weekend, she estimated about 85 percent were claimed by Canadians.
Jody L. Petit, general manager at the Hilton Garden Inn, said about 99 percent of its 132 rooms are booked by Canadians. The hotel, which opened in September 2011, will brew its coffee for guests at 4 a.m. Friday and is providing extra sheets and towels for the weekend.
This is the calm before the storm, said Mrs. Petit, who attributed the high Canadian traffic to a sign of economic growth. I think consumer confidence is up this year in both countries.

A Boone apartment complex was damaged in a fire discovered just before 6 last evening, a fire quickly put out by Boone Fire. The call was to West End Condos at 1552 West King Street, first arriving emergency units reporting light smoke and a few flames coming from the very end of the building
nearest to King Street. Arriving firemen quickly evacuated the residents, then had to cut into an exterior wall to access the fire, and quickly extinguish it. The cause and damage estimates to come from Boone Fire.

update: Doom95 works.. Odd..
Hey all. I just compiled the latest wine sources, and set it up. I can install things fine (I installed Half-Life and Star Trek Voyager: Elite Forces, as well as Internet Call Manager), but when I go to run the installed files, I get this error.
Now, with the "file probably truncated" thing, I thought maybe I had set the filesystem as MS-DOS or something dumb. Nope. All of my drives are set to win95 fs.stuart@philangatron:~/windows$ wine winzip.exe
err:module:map_image Could not map section .text, file probably truncated
wine: could not load L"C:\\winzip.exe" as Win32 binary
err:module:map_image Could not map section .reloc, file probably truncated
wine: could not load L"C:\\Program Files\\Raven\\Star Trek Voyager Elite Force\\stvoy.exe" as Win32 binary
Does this mean that since my fake windows directory is on an ext3 partition that it won't work? .. odd."win95" for ext2fs, VFAT and FAT32
I was on #winehq, and it was suggested that it could be a kernel or glibc issue, but people with 2.6.0 and the same glibc as I have got the latest wine to work fine. Any ideas?
update: Doom95 works.. Odd..
have you tried export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 ? or something similar?
I just tried that. No luck. Same error
Okay. Doom95 works, winzip does not.
Installers that work:
Star Trek: Elite Force
Internet Call Manager
Stuff that kind of almost works:
UPD.EXE (something in the HL folder, an update util?)
but it does start for a second, give me a windows error (Could not open hl_res.dll) and die.stuart@philangatron:~/windows/SIERRA/Half-Life$ wine UPD.EXE
err:module:map_image Could not map section .rsrc, file probably truncated
opforup.exe - it is supposed to install opposing forces, but gets part way through the install and dies.

Steven Kull, Psychology
Steven KullPsychology Alumni 1980
Steven Kull came to Saybrook in the late 1970s with an interest in collective awareness. Today he's one of the world's leading experts on global public opinion. It doesn't get much more collective than that.
Kull heads up World Public Opinion (WPO), one of only two or three organizations that conducts polling on a global scale. Twice a year WPO's researchers take a set of questions into the field in dozens of nations, gauging attitudes on issues as broad as climate change, the international economy, and human rights --- and as specific as oil prices, the U.S. presidential race, and Iran's nuclear weapons program. The results of these surveys inform decision makers at the highest level --- Kull periodically briefs the UN, NATO, and the White House on global opinion, and he sits on the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations.
"I came to Saybrook as a practicing psychotherapist," Kull explains, "and I was interested in taking models I had used in a psychotherapeutic context and applying them in a collective context. The core of my Saybrook education was learning how to make an objective study of experience and, from that, to illuminate collective dynamics."
The evolution from psychotherapy to public-opinion research occurred naturally: Where Kull once probed the mind of individual patients, he now delves into the public subconscious and endeavors, as he puts it, "to help the public communicate with itself."
"In the end," he says, "both professions are about asking questions and understanding why people behave as they do." And, he might add, about helping people better understand themselves.
Kull earned his Ph.D. from Saybrook in 1980, writing his dissertation on the desire for unity of experience. That led into his first major project after graduation, a study of policymakers in the field of international security. "I was interested in how violence and destruction could be a pathway to unity," he explains.
With the Cold War at its height and the arms race in full swing, Kull conducted long, in-depth interviews with security analysts in both the U.S. and Soviet governments. Those interviews laid the foundation for Kull's first two books, Burying Lenin: The Revolution in Soviet Ideology and Foreign Policy (1992) and Minds At War: Nuclear Reality and the Inner Conflicts of Defense Policy Makers (1998).
"I did hundreds of interviews," he recalls, "with the kinds of fundamental interactions that occur in the psychotherapeutic relationship. I found that people on both sides of the conflict were experiencing major cognitive dissonance. You had policy makers formulating scenarios that involved the use of nuclear weapons, and looking for ways to gain an advantage over the other side. They knew it made no sense, but they needed to keep acting as if it did make sense."
Kull also found dissonance between policy makers' perceptions of the public, and the public's actual attitudes. He began testing the latter in 1992 with the launch of the Program for International Policy Attitudes (PIPA).
"The common wisdom was that Americans strongly opposed foreign-aid spending," Kull says. "But we discovered that people overestimated the amount of our budget that actually goes to foreign aid. The U.S. spends less than 2 percent of the budget on foreign aid, but the public believed it was about 20 percent. So we asked,

nice little list... ill be adding it with the new release of addons, ty!
Technically not addons, but should be listed somewhere.
Where and how to watch QL streams:
- http://esreality.com/?a=news. Stream side bar on the right, "QL". The only worth watching streams have over 200 viewers.
- In general terms the best english speaking streams are:
http://www.twitch.tv/faceittv/ (faceit cups. Wednesday lvl10 and sundays, some others),
http://www.twitch.tv/ZootLive (125fps daily cups, some faceit cups),
http://www.twitch.tv/leveluptv (tdm, both clans and nations).
QL international LANs: http://www.quakehistory.com/en/event...,date,desc,all
- In order to search the actual vods in google, twitch and youtube, some keywords are dreamhackql (winter and summer every year), iem (intel extreme masters. Several a year), quakecon, adroits, ugc (stermy's lan), asus, gd studio.
What streams and tournaments are going to be played each week. Info about previous tournaments:

- Right now there are practically no lan tournaments, but the scene is very much active on the online side of things ($$ cups almost every day). That's why current online cups actually matter nowadays (faceit, 125fps) and some of the best ql matches ever happened on those, so search for info and vods on the above links.
- Practically everything is on esreality. That means google what you want to search, for example moscow quake lan party 17 (great russian lan), then click on the esreality link.
The latest userscript system for QL Standalone (and Steam) is extraQL.
