#20 Do We Have To Leave?
Its that time in the season again to say goodbye to the whales and to Lubec. Everyone is busy cleaning the house and packing up gear. The main office is bare except for the computer that I'm using to write our final blog entry. The only spot in the house that has a normal level activity is the kitchen and that's only because we're having pizza night as our farewell dinner.
This year was certainly an anomaly in the Bay of Fundy given the low number of right whales, plus the atypical sightings of sperm whales, pilot whales and white-beaked dolphins. In total, we identified 53 individual right whales (number depending on data analysis) of which there were only 5 mom/calf pairs. We had a successful survey on Roseway Basin and on the way back we found a small aggregation of right whales feeding at the surface southwest of Lurcher Shoals. Colleagues reported small groups of right whales on southern Jeffreys Ledge off Gloucester, MA and around Mount Desert Rock, south of Bar Harbor, ME. These small aggregations spread through out the Gulf of Maine were the trend in 2010.
Although we do not have an explanation for the unusual year, we have some theories. Right whale distribution is driven in the spring, summer and fall by feeding; it is likely that the food resource was not sufficient to attract right whales in their usual haunts. We will continue to speak with colleagues in other fields of oceanography and investigate the effects that may result from this anomalous distribution.
Sometimes science is hard. The weather for the last two weeks of September were not conducive to any surveys since September 18. Today we learned that one of the whale watch vessels managed to brave the elements in the Bay of Fundy this morning and saw a number of right whales. They also described the wind as strong enough to "trip a snake." Although our time here is done for the season, we are already preparing for a field season in a portion of the Gulf of Maine called Jordan Basin. This area may be the putative mating ground for the right whale, and vessel surveys are planned for late November and December. Be sure to stay tuned to our blog for the next exciting survey season.
Recap and update to entry #17 Where The Whales Aren't.
We have ventured to the far reaches of the Bay of Fundy, outside of our traditional survey area, to look for right whales this season. Last week the team discussed expanding our survey to areas south of Grand Manan Island and farther east toward the southern tip of Nova Scotia - 2 areas where right whales have been seen recently. With only a 2 day weather window, we decided to first complete a thorough survey in the Bay before we went exploring around the Gulf of Maine.
On September 18, R/V Callisto and Nereid surveyed a large section of the Bay and found 9 right whales in the northeast part of the Bay, an optimistic number given the year. The whales were farther northeast than usual and outside of their typical feeding area. So we extended our Bay of Fundy survey by another day to cover the northeastern and westward areas outside of the critical habitat area. To our surprise, we only found 3 whales between both boats. Interestingly though, we saw 56 pilot whales during those 2 days and similarly to sperm whales, pilot whales are deep-diving squid eaters. Speaking of sperm whales, we saw 5 sperm whales during those surveys and have some cool audio recordings that we're going to post soon.
The weather is typical of September and is not looking good for next week but we're hopeful we will be able to survey again before our season ends.
#18 To Eat Or Not To Eat? That Is Not The Question.
As our field season slowly winds down, discussions of low right whale numbers in the Bay of Fundy continues. A particularly interesting theory has been recently suggested that relates to copepods, the primary food for North Atlantic right whales. A colleague informed us of an unusually warm slug of fresher water that moved into the Gulf of Maine earlier this year. What does warmer water in winter and spring mean for right whales in August - October? Potentially, A LOT!
In the Bay of Fundy, right whales feed specifically on a copepod species called Calanus finmarchicus that are found in dense aggregations at or near the bottom of deep water basins in late summer and early fall. The Bay of Fundy is one of the main feeding habitats for North Atlantic right whales so their absence here suggests something may be going on with the food resource on which they have traditionally depended. This brings us back to our original question - how could unusually warm water in winter affect right whales in the summer?
In the Bay, adult copepods spawn in late winter, early spring, just in time for the spring phytoplankton bloom. As copepods develop, they feed on the phytoplankton then as summer rolls around they begin a period of hibernation, where they descend to depth and remain there all winter until spring...and the cycle continues (click here for more detail on the copepod life cycle).
For now we can only speculate to how the unusually warm water which apparently started to infiltrate in late winter may have affected the spring phytoplankton bloom and/or copepod recruitment. If copepod abundance was lower this year than traditionally found in the Bay of Fundy then the influx of warm water starting earlier this year may provide some insight as to why right whales did not show up in significant numbers. Future detailed monitoring of copepods in the Bay of Fundy would be a big step toward understanding right whale distribution and ecology.
Perplexed is a good word to describe the feeling around the whale house these days. It is mid-September and right whale numbers are still unusually low. Below is an e-mail Amy Knowlton sent to the NEAq team last week that expresses our frustrations but also suggests possible reasons for the low numbers we are seeing in the Bay this year.
I just checked the database for RW defecation - this August is the only August on record (except for 1984-1993 when perhaps we weren't so careful at documenting this?) that there have been no defecations witnessed in BOF, much less many right whales at all! But it does make one wonder what is up. For those of you not here, we did get out yesterday (Sept 9) and found 3 RW's and 2 sperm whales. One of the RW's (adult male EG#1227) was upcalling and then headpushing and gunshotting (click to hear incredible audio of right whale sound production). Thorny, another adult male EG#1032, seemed to be approaching EG#1227 though they never joined up. The third whale was found around N44 31.0 and W66 32.0 and was booking southwest at a good clip and impossible to work.
Several theories have been suggested to explain the low number of whales in the Bay this year. We've discussed in previous blog entries that sperm whale 'clicks' may be driving right whales out of the Bay. Secondly, food resources (copepods) may be limited or even dispersed from the deep water basins which typically aggregate copepods in dense concentrations making feeding more efficient. The lack of observed right whale defecations may suggest insufficient food consumption however it is highly speculative given the overall low frequency of right whale sightings.
NEAq team members discuss surveying different right whale habitats outside of the BOF.
We were able to survey this past Monday (Sept 13) but only came across two whales (M/C - EG#3360 and 2010CalfOf3360) and they were also heading southwest out of the Bay. At a team meeting yesterday we discussed moving our survey efforts to areas outside of the Bay where there have been reliable right whale sightings this year. A considerable amount of planning, preparation and cooperative weather is necessary to do this but it will be worth it if we're able to find any sort of right whale aggregations.
We'll update asap of any shift in our survey efforts. It should be quite an adventure.
On August 29 in Roseway Basin, Yan and I were on watch with our eyes peeled for right whale blows. A few hours had passed and we had not come across any of our whale friends. I spotted something bobbing at the surface about a mile or so away. We decided to head in the direction of the mystery debris. Upon our approach we realized that it was a bunch of balloons.
As we were preparing to pull them out of the water, a right whale surfaced only a few hundred feet from us! I quickly radioed down to Moe, "Whale is up, 9 o'clock!!" "What kind?" she asked. I excitedly replied "Right whale!!!" We stayed in the area and happily worked 4 whales, never loosing track of the balloons.
As you can see in the photo at the top of this blog, the debris was a bunch of black and white plastic and foil balloons tied together with silver ribbon. The largest of all read "Mr. & Mrs.". I quickly scanned the horizon with my binoculars. My suspicion was right, no wedding party in sight. Where did they come from? I wondered (and still do). I always ask myself that question when I see bits of trash drifting about off shore. Once we had them on deck I punctured each one of them and put them in the trash. When I see stray balloons floating away my stomach cringes because I wonder where they'll end up. Maybe around the neck of a seal, in the stomach of a sea turtle, wrapped tightly around the beak of a bird, or maybe they'll wash up on the shore of your local sandy beach.
My balloon story continues onto land. Last week was the annual Eastport/Lubec pirate invasion which includes a water balloon fight between the two sides. Automatically a few fellow right whale team members and I were picking up the colorful bits and pieces of broken balloons that littered the streets.
Sadly we could only watch as several water balloons missed their intended pirate targets and landed in the water alongside the harbor seals that play in the tidal currents just a few hundred feet off shore.
While writing this blog I began "Googling" words like balloons, animals and ocean. I found this article about marine debris quite interesting. It's incredible how much trash we pass each day we're surveying, and that's only the stuff that floats. I can't even imagine how much is under the surface.
Kara, Candace, Yan and Zach loading the Rominic with food and gear before heading out.
The crew returned from Roseway Basin around 4 am, last Wednesday morning, after an 18 hour trip of 175 nautical miles. We unloaded the boat under the deck lights, loaded the truck and made our way back to Lubec. As we crossed back into the US from Campobello Island, customs officials asked few questions as our weary faces, blank from exhaustion, showed the effects of 7 consecutive days at sea.

Just after midnight last Wednesday, August 25, the fishing vessel Rominic, fully stocked with food, water, ice and all of our research gear, left the wharf in Wilson's Beach on Campobello Island. The first couple of days were pretty rough due to high seas, moderate wind and no right whales. All of the crew, except Captain Papier, were feeling pretty miserable at the start but by day 2 and 3 everyone had fully adjusted to our new rockin' n rollin' home. Our days started early, between 6 and 7 am, and ended around sunset. Click here to see our daily routine.
We had planned to survey from east to west, but on Friday morning we woke up to thick fog. We motored west and broke through into clear skies near the middle of the Basin. We started our survey for whales heading west from the middle of the Basin but only a few right whales were spotted over the first two survey days. After the west side was completed, we motored back during the night to our starting point and were rewarded with an aggregation of right whales on the eastern side. In total, we photographed approximately 30 individual right whales (pending photo analyses) on Roseway Basin.
We left on Tuesday morning (August 31). By 9 am the waves were building and the wind increasing, and with the news of an approaching hurricane by the end of the week it was time to steam home. Our trip home proved to be an unexpected surprise as we came across a very active group of whales SW of Lurcher Shoal. In this group we had our only mom/calf pair (Aphrodite/2010Calfof1701) plus a close encounter by the calf, the largest SAG of the trip AND we observed several of the whales subsurface feeding. We were even able to collect a copepod (right whale food) sample to confirm the whales were feeding in this area.
Right whale skim feeding at the surface. This whale appeared to be ill - Note the discoloration of the callosities.
Other species highlights were bow-riding common dolphins, breaching humpbacks, curious approaches by a minke whale and a blue shark, several leatherback turtles, ocean sunfish, a merlin that flew right in the wheelhouse as we were preparing dinner and a warbler.
Although our survey efforts were not rewarded with as many right whale sightings as in past years on Roseway Basin, we did document that the whales are in the area, and that there is a small aggregation at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy. The survey provides another piece to the puzzle of right whale distribution this year, that there seem to be small groups aggregating in several areas around the Gulf of Maine.
Despite our initial excitement after our survey on August 27 that suggested the right whales had arrived into the Bay of Fundy after a slow start, it appears that this influx of animals was short-lived. After three days of extensive surveys using two boats on August 29, 30, and 31, only ~17 individuals were sighted. Few of these individuals matched the ~18 whales sighted by the Nereid on August 27 yet the area surveyed over those latter days in August certainly included the area surveyed on the 27th. We are perplexed by the low numbers of right whales and what appears to be substantial movement by individuals in and out of the Bay. Last year during the month of August we saw at least 79 individuals not including calves of the year (data is still in progress). This year we have only had 32 individuals (not including calves) so the change is dramatic.
Though we don't know the reason for this reduced number, some ideas have come to mind. First, for the first time ever in our 30 years of surveys here, we appear to have a number of sperm whales sticking around in the Bay - as many as seven individuals were seen on August 29 by our two vessels. Also, whale watch boats in the area have been seeing them throughout the month. When we put our hydrophone in, the sound of clicking sperm whales was quite loud. It could be that right whales do not like this sound (see video below).
Audio clip of Sperm whale clicks recorded by Dr. Susan Parks (Environmental Acoustic Program, Penn State University) and her PhD student Jenny Tennenssen (Ecology Program, Penn State University) while on the R/V Callisto.
*Note - audio was dubbed to the video for visual effect, clicks can only be heard underwater.
Another possibility is that the food resource has not set up well this year and thus, the copepod density is not high enough for the right whales to stick around.
We are hoping that Hurricane Earl which passed through the region on Saturday morning could shift things around and entice the right whales back into the Bay. Once the seas and winds calm down, we will be heading back into the Bay to see who we find.
As Hurricane Earl threatened the east coast of the U.S. and the Canadian Maritimes, like most coastal communities, we began preparations for the storm. Starting on Wednesday we began hauling boats (Callisto and Bonita) and on Thursday Amy and I moved the Nereid from our Lubec dock to a safe harbor on Campobello Island, N.B., Canada. By the time Earl arrived it had been downgraded to a tropical storm and arrived Saturday with gusty winds and loads of rain. Fortunately, Earl has moved (but not without first causing the delay of the annual Eastport pirate invasion of Lubec) and we are hopeful that we will soon get some workable weather so that we can resume our surveys of the Bay of Fundy.

Q: Connecting to a java swing panel I have a JAVA application that, every five minutes, transfers  data from a Data Base A  to a Data Base B. Then, the application makes some calculations with the data of the Data Base B, and shows the results in a java swing panel.  The application is continuously running.  All ok.
I would like to see this java swing panel from other computers (more than one). So the idea is to see the panel from different computer whenever you want. I have thought  of making a webpage showing the results, but I have no idea of making webpages and I haven't much time to deal with it.
Is it possible to make a fast java application (or anything else) that connects with my swing panel from another computer?
Thank you very much!

A: You could use an applet, your Swing components will be added to a JApplet instead of a JFrame, and any web client can download the full application. You will still need to make a web page, but it could only have your Java applet in it.

Le neurofisine sono proteine trasportatrici degli ormoni della neuroipofisi, sintetizzate a livello ipotalamico. Esse trasportano ossitocina e vasopressina dal nucleo paraventricolare e sopraottico dell'ipotalamo al lobo posteriore dell'ipofisi. Ogni neurofisina lega una o due molecole di ormoni neuroipofisari, permettendone la migrazione lungo gli assoni.

Q: Debugging JS performance differences between two browsers? I use some javascript/AJAX heavy websites on my mid-end work laptop, running Fedora Linux and primarily Firefox. Overall, those websites tend to bog down my system overall. In some cases the window manager gets affected, other times everything except the browser is usable. I can reproduce this simply by opening one or more of these websites in Firefox. I'm stuck keeping those sites open during my work day, and my solution has been to RDP to one of my Windows servers and open those sites from there. The same laptop runs these sites better at least, on my colleague's Windows 10 install...
The other day, I discovered that Google Chrome worked a lot faster using these sites under Fedora. But I won't switch browser just because javascript performance is bad. I should be able to solve this...
How would I start finding the bottleneck? I know Firefox on Windows works better, and I know that Chrome on Linux works better than Firefox on Linux. I could narrow it down more by booting a Live-USB system. strace gives too much information. Would comparing the results from the Firefox profiler under Linux vs Windows (or two Linux distributions) give me enough information?
I'm not too well versed with debugging, with web browsers or with javascript. All I know is that I won't switch OS, would rather not switch browsers, and won't get a better computer for a while. I'd be grateful for any help!

PERFORMANCE OF THE CONTRACT AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PARTIES
Due to circumstances beyond its control, Operator reserves the right to make partial changes to the stated itinerary, especially in case of bad weather or bad driving conditions.
Every effort will be made to keep changes to a minimum.
In case of bad weather that would prevent from conducting a tour as originally agreed, Operator will offer a substitution option to the Customer.
Should this new alternative incur any kind of un-expected extra fee, Operator will not be held responsible for this.
If Customer accepts this tour substitution option, the extra fees to be charged by the Operator are payable on the day of the service.
If Customer is not at the departure point at the starting time mentioned on the Reservation Voucher and if Operator has not been advised of this delay, this will be considered a "no-show" and no claim of refund will be accepted, whatever the reason of the Customer.
Operator will wait up to 30 minutes. Beyond that waiting time, with no news from the Customer, Operator will leave and will not be held responsible for Customer missing his/her tour and losing his/her money.
If Customer arrives later than the agreed starting time of the tour, after having advised the Operator, the tour will be delivered according to the duration left for it.
The finish time of the tour will not be delayed.
Should the tour duration be shortened because of Customer arriving late, the Operator has no obligation to deliver a service for the exact duration which was agreed at the time of booking. If Operator does, this will have an extra charge to be paid by Customer.
Customer certifies he/she does not have any physical condition or disability that would create a hazard for him/her.
Customer has to make sure he/she is physically able to participate in the tour and certifies that he/she is aware of all the tour walking and standing disclosures and requirements of the tour.
During a tour, Customer participates in as many activities as he/she is interested in.
No refunds for unused services, activities, or portions of a tour for any reason will be made to Customer.
Any interruption during the tour decided by the Customer him/herself cannot be a reason of refund, whatever the reason.
Responsibilities of Customer includes the adherence of all local laws, respecting customs, culture, guides and local professionals, assessing abilities, respecting the driver and guide's privacy, and following the suggestions and advice of the driver and guide during the tour.
Operator reserves the right to decline, accept, or retain at any time, any Customer, as a participant of a tour, if Operator deems that Customer's behaviour is disruptive to the tour, is inappropriate and offensive or interferes with the delivery of services of the tour.
Operator reserves the right to remove any Customer from a tour should Operator determine that the Customer cannot meet the physical requirements of the tour, or is disruptive to the tour schedule.
In the event that a Customer is removed from a tour, Operator will not refund any monies to the Customer.
Transfers/Transport
Each passenger is entitled to bring a luggage of 20 kg maximum in addition to any hand luggage (purse, laptop …).
Any excess of luggage must be pointed out at the time of booking request by Customer.
In case of excess luggage which hasn't been mentioned at the time of booking, depending on the loading of the vehicle, a supplement may be charged.
If the Customer doesn't meet these conditions and if the Operator is unable to carry all the pieces of luggage, the responsibility and potential costs incurred will be the responsibility of the Customer.
For airport and train station pick-up, in case of delay, diverted flight or if the Customer arrives late at the agreed meeting point, a waiting time of 30 minutes is included in the price of the transfer from the moment of the initial scheduled arrival time.
Then, if Operator has to wait more than 30 minutes, some waiting fees will be applied and will be payable on the spot (40.00 Euros per hour).
Beyond that waiting time, with no news from the Customer, Operator will leave and will not be held responsible for Customer missing his/her transfer and losing his/her money and no further claims will be accepted.
In case the Operator could not wait until the Customer's arrival (because of another booking the Operator has to take care of after Customer's service), the Operator will not be in any way responsible for any additional cost that he/she will have to pay to another operator (taxi).
For pick-up at other locations than train stations or airports, if the Customer is not present at the agreed pick-up location and if he/she has not informed the Operator of his/her delayed arrival, Operator will wait up to 30 minutes.
Then, with no news from Customer, if the Operator has to leave the pick-up location, the Operator will decline any responsibility and no further claims will be accepted.
If for any reason beyond its control, Operator has to take the decision to cancel the transfer; Operator will find an alternative transport for Customer to be taken to his/her destination. In this case, Operator is committed to support the cost of this alternative transport up to the price of its own service fees whether by paying the selected provider itself, or by refunding the amount paid (only by presenting a proof of payment).
Operator will always endeavour to ensure that vehicles arrive on time for scheduled appointments and drop off the Customer on time at his/her place of destination.

Pets are not allowed on board.
Operator reminds Customer that in France, it is compulsory to fasten seatbelts for all passengers without any exception.
Drivers can take the initiative not to begin the journey until all passengers are not belted properly. In case passengers are not belted, no liability can engage Operator in case of accidents or a ticket to be written.
Operator reserves the right, and delegates the right to its drivers, to refuse to carry any person who is thought to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs and whose behaviour might be seen as a threat to other passengers and to the driver.
Similarly, the company reserves the right to suspend the service if Customer's behaviour threatens the safety of the driver or the vehicle, or in case of lack of respect towards the driver. In these two extreme cases, there will be no refund.
For cleanliness reasons and as per the law of September 17th, 1977, eating, drinking and smoking on board the cars is strictly forbidden.
The consumption of alcoholic beverages and soft drinks being not permitted on board the cars, only the consumption of water is possible.
In case of long journeys, a coffee and snack break is always planned.
At the beginning of the service, Operator offers to Customer vehicles as clean as possible. .
It is the responsibility of Customer to vacate the vehicle leaving it in a state of acceptable cleanliness. Passengers who will not respect the vehicle by leaving it dirty and / or damaged will have to pay a minimum amount of 150 Euros as cleaning fees, on the spot.
If Customer doesn't pay, Operator will be forced to initiate legal action against Customer.
Freedom of conscience and freedom of religion are clearly guaranteed in France as long as they go hand in hand with respecting the principles of secularism which is one of the pillars of the French society.
Operator will always respect this freedom of conscience and religion however no religious demonstration (prayer…) that may disrupt the concentration of the driver will be tolerated in the cars.
Failure to observe these rules may occur an interruption of service.
Liability and insurance
The vehicles are fully insured for passengers' transport, as required by the French law.
All passengers are insured during the transfers or day trips while in the car.
Operator is not responsible for any personal injury occurring outside the vehicle, in particular when getting into or out of the vehicle. In addition, an insurance covering damages or theft of Customer's luggage and personal belongings up to 750 € per vehicle exists, while they are present in the boot of the vehicle or the trailer that may be used for the journey.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Yasiel Puig came off the disabled list for the Los Angeles Dodgers and was in the lineup for Tuesday night's game against the Washington Nationals.
The Cuban outfielder had been sidelined with a strained left hamstring. He hasn't played in a major league game since June 2, against the Cubs.
Puig went 5 for 12 with a home run, three walks, one steal and two RBIs in five rehab games with Class-A Rancho Cucamonga. He is batting .237 with five homers and 20 RBIs in 53 games with the Dodgers this season.
Puig will resume being the regular starter in right field. He was set to bat seventh.
The Dodgers optioned right-hander Carlos Frias to Triple-A Oklahoma City. He had been recalled Sunday and didn't appear in a game during his call-up.

Q: How to change one portion of img src of images with particular class in jQuery? Basically trying to do the following:
I have three colors: Blue, Green and Red
I have a set of images that should load based on the color link selected.  All the images are the exact same in format, except for the color:
Blue: img1.blue.jpg, img2.blue.jpg. img3.blue.jpg
Green: img1.green.jpg, img2.green.jpg, img3.green.jpg
I know to split the src by ".", but how can I change the color portion for all the images that have a particular class?

A: I think it's something like this:
$(".MYCLASSNAME").each(function(i){
    var ar = i.attr("src").split(".");
    ar[1] = newColor; // red, green, or blue
    i.attr("src", join(ar, "."));
});

A: Something like this? You have links like this
Blue

and images like this:

Which will then change the images color.
$('.colorChangeLink').click(function () {
    var color = $(this).attr('customColor');
    $('.imgChangeColor').each(function (i) {
        //Note, this is pretty much Ithi's answer from here on.
        var arr = i.attr('src').split('.');
        arr[1] = color;
        i.attr('src', join(arr, '.'));
    });
    return false;
});

Of all the accents you can place in your home, throw pillows are perhaps the most expressive. The throw pillows you pick can either make or break your home decor, so making the right choice is crucial. Whether you're placing throw pillows on your sofa, an armchair, or an entryway bench, it's important they be cohesive with your home's overall vibe.
While throw pillows should blend well with your home decor, they're also your opportunity to throw in a little personality. Eclectic designs and patterns, fun sayings and illustrations – throw pillows are your opportunity to showcase these things. They should complement, not cover. There are some tips to ensure you pick and place throw pillows properly.
#1) Don't get too matchy matchy.
Throw pillows do not need to match the exact color of the furniture they are being placed on. Get creative! While the colors should work together, they should not be one and the same. Nonetheless, make sure the pillows you pick fit with the overall color scheme of your home decor.
#2) Vary the textures & sizes.
Spice it up by changing up the fabric textures of the throw pillows you use. Pair your traditional ones with some furry ones, and maybe even a couple of sequined ones. Break up the monotony by also buying different sizes. Small accent pillows make a nice touch for armchairs and love seats, while large throw pillows look great on beds.
Now that you've invested in some different textures and sizes, it's time to layer them up! From the largest throw pillows in the back to the small accent pillows in the front, layering gives your home a more inviting look and feel. Just having one throw pillow on each piece of furniture can look a little stale. Layering offers character, color coordination, and an overall more plush, homey feel.
Don't mislead yourself into believing throw pillows only belong on indoor furniture. Throw pillows on your patio furniture help make your outdoor space more comfortable, and given barren patio furniture a touch of softness. Place a couple of throw pillows on your wicker patio chairs for a pop of color and a welcoming aura.
For homes with a more modern decor style, the Chips Bentwood Lounge Chair with a built-in pillow is the perfect piece to set the tone.

The Real Salt Lake Academy enters the final stretch of the regular season having played 16 regular season matches and now look ahead to this weekend's matchup against the Barca Academy at the Zions Bank Real Academy in Herriman.
The U-19s enter the weekend holding a 8-3-5 (29 points record), sitting firmly in the third spot in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy's Southwest Division standings. Carrying a goal differential of +11 with it, the team is led by top goal-scorer and RSL first teamer Luis Arriaga who has featured in all 16 matches for the team this season. Arriaga has notched eight goals through 16 matches, followed closely by Bryce Duke with seven goals. Duke has appeared in 15 matches for the U-19s and has earned a recent call-up to the U.S. U-18 BNT camp along with teammates Erwin Martinez and David Ochoa.
The U-19 roster features some prominent names as Arriaga and Ochoa together with RSL first-team member Julian Vazquez and have gained valuable experience training with seasoned Major League Soccer and USL Championship veterans during RSL and Real Monarchs preseasons.
Vazquez signed his first professional contract with Real Salt Lake last October and was followed closely by Arriaga and Ochoa during the offseason.
For the U-17s, the team currently sits in the sixth spot in the U.S.S.D.A.'s Southwest Division standings having played to a 7-7-2 record (23 points). Forward Paul Paul Gindiri leads the team with 10 goals in 16 matches played. Gindiri ranks second in the West division standings in goals scored, trailing only Massud Habibullah of the Vancouver Whitecaps FC U-17s by virtue of matches played. Both players have scored 10 goals on the year, but Gindiri has played just four more matches, therefore following closely behind the Whitecaps FC striker who has scored more goals in less matches played.
U-17 goalkeeper Jeff Dewsnup was recently received a U.S. U-15 BNT team camp call-up, highlighting the production and growth of the U-17 side.
The RSL Academy will see the remainder of its regular season matches played at Zions Bank Real Academy in Herriman. Seven matches remain in the hunt for a playoff spot and next up for the RSL Academy is a visit from the Barca Academy on Saturday, March 2. The U-17s will open proceedings at 11:00 a.m. MT followed by the U-19s at 1:30 p.m. MT. All matches are free and open to the public.

Stefanie Kogler: "I believe in empowering aspiring entrepreneurs to build and sustain flourishing online businesses"
Stefanie Kogler: "I believe in empowering aspiring entrepreneurs to build and sustain flourishing online businesses" Ever since she was a young girl, Stefanie Kogler had one dream – to be a professional golfer. People in her homeland of Austria dismissed Stefanie's dreams as the fantasies of a child. Her country was a nation of skiers, not golfers; what chance did she have to make it on the pro golf circuit?
Although shy, Stefanie was naturally tenacious since childhood and refused to be dissuaded in her ambition. She spent every day practicing and pursuing her goal. When not practicing, she dreamed of how golf would enable her to lead a better life elsewhere. Her endeavor and motivation eventually led her to the United States where she continued to follow her golfing dream.
As she progressed through the ranks, Stefanie's watershed came when she was invited on to the Ladies European Tour and was seeded top 40 in Europe, but then disaster struck. Spinal issues forced a premature end to her golfing career and Stefanie was suddenly left high and dry, without an occupation or a career.
When faced with a similar situation, many would have sunk into a quagmire of depression and despondency, but Stefanie is cut from a different cloth. Showing the same resilience, innovation, and resourcefulness that stood her in such good stead in the world of golf, Stefanie leaped feet first into a completely different field – the beauty industry.
"From a professional athlete to entrepreneur may sound a dramatic transition, but you'd be surprised how many skills translate well from the world of sport to the world of business," explained Stefanie. "If you are a goal-orientated person who is always challenging themselves, I think that works well in any field. The biggest change for me, personally, was to become a team-player. I've always been quite a reserved person and on the golf course you're pretty much on your own. But in business, you have to be a team-player, otherwise you won't get far."
As someone who heads their own successful beauty and lifestyle company that prides itself on recommending the right beauty products to help women lead fuller and more content lives, Stefanie is a keen advocate in helping others become their own boss.
Stefanie explained, "I believe fiercely in empowering aspiring entrepreneurs to build and sustain flourishing online businesses. This way of life has enabled me to become financially free and has provided me with a rewarding life after golf. I would like to equip as many other people as possible with the tools to do the same."
