New Jersey Devils AHL Team is Moving Back to Utica
Bill Keeler Published: May 6, 2021
WIBX/TSM
There will be AHL Hockey at the Adirondack Bank Center in Utica next season after all, and the news comes with some nostalgia.
The Utica Comets confirmed Thursday that they have entered into a 10-year agreement with The New Jersey Devils and the Utica Comets to move their AHL team back to Utica, and the request was approved by the AHL Board of Governors. The board also approved the move of Vancouver's AHL team, now the Utica Comets, to Abbotsford, British Columbia, which is about an hour out of Vancouver.
The new Utica AHL team will be called none other than, the Utica Comets. The decision to keep the "Comets" name was hinted at by Comets President Robert Esche on WIBX's Keeler Show on Wednesday. Esche said he was confident that Utica would land an AHL team by Friday, and that he trademarked the "Utica Devils" name in order to protect the Comets brand. He said it was meant to block anyone else from gaining access to the name and thus opening the door for Utica to hold a throwback "Utica Devils" game in the future for nostalgic purposes. New Jersey operated the Utica Devils in Utica for 7 years from 1987 to 1993.
Esche said on Wednesday the difference between the Devils organization back in the 90s and the current Utica Comets organization is the fact that it's locally owned and operated. "That answer is simple," Esche said. The Utica Devils were operated out of New Jersey while we operate
Esche said the difference between the Devils organization back in the 90s and the current Utica Comets organization is the fact that it's locally owned and operated.
the Comets out of the Adirondack Bank Center. He said local management is the reason for the Comets success, including the fact that Utica now holds the record in the AHL for most consecutive sell-out games. It was the pandemic shut down in March of last year that interrupted that streak of sell-out crowds.
"We could not be happier for the opportunity to partner with the New Jersey Devils, an organization with a rich history not only in the NHL but also in our own community," said Esche. "The spirit of Comets hockey and the culture our fans have created will continue to grow as it has for decades and evolve through the next ten years, and we are honored to be a part of that with the Devils. As we look towards successfully developing some of the NHL's top prospects, we eagerly anticipate this new chapter of Comets hockey."
In a joint statement, Devils President Jake Reynolds and Devils Executive Vice President/General Manager Tom Fitzgerald, expressed their excitement surrounding the new partnership:
"After multiple discussions and evaluating the options available for the future of our American Hockey League franchise, we have agreed to partner with local operating group Mohawk Valley Garden in Utica, NY, led by Comets President Robert Esche, to relocate our AHL franchise starting with the 2021-22 season. We are pleased to announce that this is a ten-year partnership which establishes a mutual commitment between our organization and the city of Utica. We look forward to creating new memories for the fans as the next generation of Devils' stars develop their professional careers at the Adirondack Bank Center. Working with Robert and his team will be an exciting opportunity as we look to build upon the passion and enthusiasm that they've created in making Utica one of the top markets in the AHL."
Esche also announced that, to commemorate the first day the Utica Devils took the ice in 1987, they will open at home on Sunday, October 17, 2021 – exactly 34 years since the Devils' AHL hockey debut in the City of Utica.
What's in a Color Scheme?
Everything, if you're the New Jersey Devils. While the Utica Comets name will remain the same, there will be no doubt about their affiliation with the Devils. The Comets will announce their new color scheme later this year. The color change will be a steep climb for Esche and the Comets during the upcoming off-season. Everything from the logo and the walls at the Aud, to the uniforms and the website will have to be updated in time for the launch of the new team in September.
The Devils move out of Binghamton was announced 2-weeks ago, but it wasn't official as to where they would be going until today. Reports in Binghamton media claim that New Jersey was asking for upgrades to the arena and playing facility, and that sticking point caused them to exit the city. Utica's Adirondack Bank Center recently underwent several "AHL quality" upgrades including luxury suites, restaurants, and new locker facilities.

8 Solid Years in Utica
Vancouver partnered with Esche 8 years ago to reintroduce AHL hockey to the area with the Utica Comets in 2013. Since then, the Comets have seen a significant expansion at the Utica Memorial Auditorium, now the Adirondack Bank Center, a team run for the Calder Cup and an active record for the most consecutive sell out games, which has only been interrupted by the pandemic restrictions in New York State.
Utica Devils History
The Utica Devils period in Utica featured notable coaches, Tom McVie from 1987 to 1991, legendary Olympic coach Herb Brooks in 1991–92 and Robbie Ftorek in 1992–93. Notable Utica Devils players include Martin Brodeur, Bill Guerin, Kevin Todd, Corey Schwab, Bobby Holik, Claude Vilgrain, Valeri Zelepukin, Jason Smith, and Jim Dowd.
During their tenure, the Utica Devils were operated by New Jersey and never saw the fan support that the Utica Comets have seen over the last 8 years. It was rumored then that when Utica failed to sell-out the Utica Memorial Auditorium for the Devils playoff game against Rochester in 1993, the decision was made by New Jersey to move the franchise out of Utica.
New Jersey has had a team in the American Hockey League since 1983 when they were the Maine Mariners. The Devils franchise was founded in 1974 in Kansas City, it moved to Colorado in 1976 and then to New Jersey in 1982.
Utica Mayor Robert Palmieri issued the following statement on the Devils move to Utica:
"Over the past seven years, the residents of our community demonstrated their love for hockey and made it clear Utica was a viable and appealing option to support an American Hockey League (AHL) franchise. This was evident today as the Board of Governors approved the relocation of the New Jersey Devils AHL franchise from Binghamton to Utica. We certainly thank the Vancouver Canucks for making Utica their home the past seven years and wish them every success in their new location. As a proud Utican, we welcome the Devils back to Utica with open arms. I commend Rob Esche for the great work he has done in bringing professional hockey to Utica as it is a quality of life asset our residents deserve and a catalyst for continued economic development."

Thomas K. Clancy is a nationally recognized expert on the Fourth Amendment and cyber crime. For the many of us who teach Fourth Amendment jurisprudence, Professor Clancy is the person we look to as the expert in this field. He frequently organizes and lectures at judicial conferences, he has written more than 20 articles on the Fourth Amendment, and he is the author of two books: Cyber Crime and Digital Evidence (Lexis Nexis – 3rd ed. 2018) and The Fourth Amendment: Its History and Interpretation (Carolina Academic Press – 3rd ed. 2017).
In a career that spans over 30 years, Professor Clancy has evenly split his time between academics and practice. He has taught at seven law schools and holds the title of professor emeritus from the University of Mississippi School of Law, from which he retired in 2014. He practiced criminal law in Washington, D.C., and Maryland. He served as chief of the Post Conviction Unit in the State's Attorney's Office for Prince George County, Maryland, and as an assistant attorney general for the State of Maryland in the Criminal Appeals Division, in addition to his private practice. He continues to be a valued resource teaching at The National Judicial College.
Professor Clancy organized and developed the National Center for Justice and the Rule of Law as part of his teaching assignment at the University of Mississippi School of Law (2001). This program focused on issues relating to the criminal justice system and implemented its mission through projects, conferences and publications that examined important criminal law and procedure issues, particularly addressing issues of technology-facilitated crimes against children.
Professor Clancy began his NJC experience in 2003 when he brought the National Center for Justice and the Rule of Law to The National Judicial College as a program designed specifically for judges. His initiative included an annual symposium and the James Otis lecture series (each published annually as a special edition of the Mississippi Law Journal). The partnership with the NJC offered the only national educational program in search and seizure for trial and appellate judges and the only national educational program for state judges on computer-related searches and seizures. Over the years, through a partnership with the NJC, the center offered approximately 50 courses on search and seizure to trial and appellate judges from all 50 states.
Lastly, we would all be remiss if we did not applaud Professor Clancy's work in the area of internet crimes against children. His Cyber Crime Initiative was simply outstanding! As a result of this initiative, the National Center for Justice and the Rule of Law received grants from the Department of Justice to educate judges on internet crimes against children, which allowed the center to create a series of conferences, webinars and written materials. This particular program promoted awareness of computer-related crimes and was the only national educational program for state attorneys general offices (including 29 conferences, cyber crime publications, webinars and projects to combat cyber crime).
Professor Clancy continues to present at judicial conferences on his favorite topics of Fourth Amendment and cyber crime. He presented his acclaimed course Fourth Amendment: Comprehensive Search and Seizure Training for State Trial Judges last September in Denver and will do so again in San Diego on August 5-9, 2019.
Professor Clancy currently lives with his wife, Sally, on Cape Cod. In his free time, he enjoys studying American history, writing, and doing projects around his house.

Coulevyle History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Today's generation of the Coulevyle family bears a name that was brought to England by the migration wave that was started by the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Coulevyle family lived in Colton. There are places named Colton in Staffordshire and Norfolk. The family claim descent from Gilbert de Colleville, who lived in Coleville, a town in Normandy.
Early Origins of the Coulevyle family
The surname Coulevyle was first found in Suffolk, where they held a family seat from early times. They were descended from Gilbert de Colleville (Colavilla, Colvile) from Coleville, a town between Caen and Bayeux in Normandy. He accompanied Duke William from Normandy and had two sons. [1]
Early History of the Coulevyle family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Coulevyle research. Another 101 words (7 lines of text) covering the years 1174, 1296, 1358, 1337, 1394, 1377, 1384, 1385, 1390, 1393, 1540, 1605, 1551, 1629, 1604, 1675, 1662, 1675, 1690, 1813, 1898 and 1871 are included under the topic Early Coulevyle History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Coulevyle Spelling Variations
Before the last few hundred years the English language had no fixed system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations occurred commonly in Anglo Norman surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Coulevyle were recorded, including Colville, Coleville, Colevile, Colwell, Colwill, Collwell, Collwill, Colewell, Colewill, Caulville, Caulwell and many more.
Early Notables of the Coulevyle family (pre 1700)
Another 112 words (8 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Coulevyle Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Coulevyle family to Ireland
Some of the Coulevyle family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. More information about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Coulevyle family
The unstable environment in England at this time caused numerous families to board ships and leave in search of opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad in places like Ireland, Australia, and particularly the New World. The voyage was extremely difficult, however, and only taken at great expense. The cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels caused many to arrive diseased and starving, not to mention destitute from the enormous cost. Still opportunity in the emerging nations of Canada and the United States was far greater than at home and many went on to make important contributions to the cultures of their adopted countries. An examination of many early immigration records reveals that people bearing the name Coulevyle arrived in North America very early: John Colvil who settled in New Hampshire in 1718; Matuerin Colvill settled in Charles Town [Charleston], South Carolina in 1762; Joseph and Cathy Colville settled in New Jersey in 1804.

Atsur, Siva lift ALBA past Bilbao in crunch time
In a rematch of the 2009-10 EuroCup semifinals, ALBA Berlin improved to 2-0 in Group B by downing Dominion Bilbao Basket 77-85 on the road on Wednesday. ALBA remained undefeated due to its excellent three-point shooting percentage, hitting 12 of its 23 attempts from downtown. Dominique Johnson led the winners with 21 points. Elmedin Kikanovic added 15, Peyton Siva had 14 points and 7 assists, Dragan Milosavljevic scored 12 points, while Tony Gaffney contributed 11 for ALBA. Michael Eric led Bilbao with 15 points and 9 rebounds. Dejan Todorovic had 12 points while Scott Bamforth and Alex Mumbru each added 11 for the hosts. ALBA hosts Khimki Moscow Region in the German capital. Also on Wednesday, Bilbao welcomes Lietuvos Rytas Vilnius.
A triple by Siva gave ALBA a 12-15 lead after 10 minutes. Seven unanswered points by Eric, including a wild alley-oop dunk, put Bilbao in charge, 24-21, in the second quarter. A Dominique Johnson three kept the guests within 37-36 at halftime. Kikanovic took over with back-to-back baskets after the break and soon scored again, but a three-pointer by Jonathan Tabu restored a 45-42 Bilbao lead. Johnson followed a driving layup with a triple and Milosavljevic also struck from downtown to make it a 7-point game. Bilbao found its regular go-to guy in Alex Mumbru, who had 5 points in a 9-0 run that put Bilbao ahead, 56-54. A three-pointer by Engin Atsur helped ALBA regain the lead, 56-57, after 30 minutes. Back-to-back triples by Siva boosted the guests' lead to 59-64 early in the fourth quarter. Eric and Tabu stepped up for Bilbao and a dunk by Tabu tied it at 71-71 with four minutes left. A jump hook by Eric gave the hosts the lead, 75-74, but Atsur struck from downtown and Siva followed an acrobatic layup with free throws for a 77-81 lead with 18 seconds left to seal the outcome.

The lost young migrants from the northeast
Youth from the Northeast face humiliation, racism and lack of worker rights
Nandita Haksar's recent book, The Exodus is Not Over: Migrations from the Ruptured Homelands of Northeast India, features first generation youngsters from the Northeast who migrate to Delhi, Bengaluru, Goa and other places in search of work. Mostly, they find jobs as low-rung workers in retail, the hospitality industry or call centres.
Haksar relates the stories of Tangkhul Naga migrant workers from Ukhrul district of Manipur. She writes that it has taken enormous courage for Ngalatim Hongray, her brother, Yaokhalek Hongray, and Livingstone Shazia as well as RS Mayori to tell their stories: the humiliation and racism that they endure and the utter lack of worker rights. Haksar writes with passion and the book is engrossing.
Here is an extract:
Pamreiyo, or Ayo, as he was called, said he would help Livingstone find a job. The two men set off by bus and arrived at Brigade Road, the heart of Bengaluru's commercial centre and busiest shopping area. They literally went from restaurant to restaurant asking whether there were any vacancies. Everyone said they had none and the men returned disappointed. Livingstone was getting more and more anxious; money was running out and there was no job in sight.
After three or four days of searching, which meant walking for hours and knocking at doors, he found a job in a restaurant called Raaga's Raiin (sic) Tree off Brigade Road. The interview was in the basement and not in the restaurant. They were not asked to sit. The two men stood next to each other and when the manager asked Livingstone a question, Ayo, who was fluent in English, answered. Livingstone got the job with a salary of `2,200. It was his first job in Bengaluru, a city of 8.5 million people.
On the first day he went to work by bus. Once he was inside the restaurant, he suddenly felt absolutely alone; he had no idea what he was expected to do. He soon found out that his job was to wipe plates and cutlery. Livingstone stood by the cashier and wiped plate after plate after plate.
He would come in for work before the breakfast buffet and make sure that everything was nice and clean before the guests started arriving. And soon the plates would start coming up for wiping. He was not allowed to sit; he had to stand and wipe, wipe and wipe.
Barely had the buffet breakfast finished, when the lunch had to be readied and once again the wiping started. After lunch when the plates were all washed and wiped, he got time off. Finally, he could sit down and rest in the basement. There was no place to lie down.
On his second day he found that the captain was a Kuki who was nice but could do little to help Livingstone. The cashier was a Goan and since he stood next to him, they could talk. The Goan turned out to be friendly and even taught him a little English. Livingstone learnt the names of the different kinds of plates and the cutlery; he learnt the difference between a dinner plate and a saucer, a teaspoon and a tablespoon.
Livingstone had picked up English in Ukhrul by reading whatever he could get his hands on, usually old newspapers such as the Sangai Express. As a result he could read even if he did not always understand the meaning of the words. At home he tried asking Ramtawon and Ayo the meaning of some words but they made fun of him. He knew they did it without malice but he felt belittled so he relied on his Goan teacher.
He had taken a bus to work on the first day, but then he discovered that there were shared autoricksaws. He would take the rickshaw in the morning but in the evening he would walk back, a distance of around four or five kilometres.
When Livingstone received his first salary, he gave it all to Ramatwon to pay for his share of rent and food. She gave him `200 for his expenses. The major expense was cigarettes, but he solved the problem by picking up butts from the restaurant and smoking them.
The working conditions were unbearable and Livingstone decided to quit. He was working from nine in the morning till nine in the night with two short breaks. He was not allowed to sit. It was very tiring and his legs ached from standing for nine hours. When the pain was too much to bear he would manage to get a little relief by sitting on his haunches for a minute or two when no one was looking, or by going to the toilet; but the manager would tell him not to take too much time.
Livingstone had discovered that there was a rivalry between the kitchen staff and the serving staff. The chef would refuse to give him an extra onion or tomato to make the lunch more palatable. He found the sambhar too sour and coconut in curry was something he was still not used to. He opted to eat when he got home at night, but that meant he had no food throughout the day.
When he informed the manager that he wanted to leave, he was told that he would have to wait till the end of the month to get his salary.
The night before his last day at Raaga Raiin Tree, Livingstone met with an accident. He was walking home at night when a bike hit him hard from behind and he fell. All he remembered was that he had taken two lightbulbs from the restaurant for his room and when he was hit, he was trying to save them. He woke up in a hospital.
When he opened his eyes, he remembered people asking him who he was. At the time he had no mobile or any identity papers; there was no way anyone could have found his identity. When he tried to speak, the words did not come out coherently, although he could understand what they were asking him. With great difficulty, he gave them the only number he knew: the mobile of his father's sister's son in Ukhrul. Livingstone heard them say he had given them only nine digits.
Even though he had managed to give his cousin's mobile number, he knew that his cousin did not have Ramtawon's number. His cousin would have to walk to his parents' home, which was quite far. Besides he would not dare go out at that time of the night. It just was not safe. But his words made no sense to the doctors looking down at him. Even if they had understood, would they have understood the reality of Ukhrul?
Livingstone slowly recovered consciousness. He realized he was in a Catholic hospital. He was able to give the name of his employers, but by then the restaurant had closed for the night. He wanted to go home. Then he noticed that the man whose bike had hit him was still there. He apologised and offered to take him home in an auto. When they reached, he gave him `3,000.
The next day Livingstone stayed at home and went to work the following day to collect his salary. They cut one day's wages and gave him the rest. But Livingstone was feeling lucky because he had 'earned' from his accident. He thought he deserved to rest for a few days before setting out to find another job.
It was then that a fellow Tangkhul called Ashang came to Ramtawon's house. He too was searching for a job and they decided to look for one together. Ashang had been studying in a Bible school and knew English fairly well.

She tried for a long time to hide her secret from the public. But once you know another person.


This classic sf novel traces the fate of the world after a comet shower blinds most of the world's population. The few with sight must struggle to reconstruct society while fighting mobile, flesh-eating plants called triffids. Samuel West's narration of this powerful and realistic story provides a flawless interpretation of the text. The listener is caught up in the catastrophic chain of events, imagined and told with such skill'by narrator as well as author'that one can easily visualize the cataclysmic events. All of West's vocal characterizations, including cockney accents, female voices, and children's voices, ring true. This superlative production of an outstanding and entertaining novel belongs in all audio collections.'Melody Moxley, Rowan P.L., Salisbury, N.C.

Который выбивает мне следующую ошибку:
Call to a member function fetch() on a non-object in Z:\home\test1.ru\www\private\main.php on line 9

Строка 9 это:

т.е., как я понял, он не может преобразовать данные в асс.массив, что ли. Переписывал и под prepared-запрос - итог тот же.
Помогите разобраться, в  чем может быть проблема?
A:
т.е., как я понял, он не может преобразовать данные в асс.массив, что ли.

не ленимся перевести

вызов метода fetch() у переменной, не являющейся объектом

далее просто анализируем код и понимаем, что $news_get перетирается на каждом цикле, а значит, уже на втором проходе while метод вызвать нельзя.
