Carlos Beltran Signing Proves New York Yankees' Win-Now Strategy
Friday was quite a day for the New York Yankees. Robinson Cano departed for the Seattle Mariners in the morning, and news broke of a Carlos Beltran signing late Friday night. The Yankees reportedly signed the 36-year-old outfielder to a three-year, $45 million deal, pending a physical.
Beltran has had a couple of close calls, almost coming to the Bronx in both 2005 and 2011. The Yankees like the switch-hitter's bat, and they like his postseason prowess. In the 2013 postseason with the St. Louis Cardinals, Beltran smacked 15 hits in 17 games. He has an all-time postseason slash line of .333/.445/.683.
This offseason should feel extremely familiar to Yankee fans. Prior to the 2009 season, the Yankees signed monster deals with pitchers CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett, as well as first baseman Mark Teixeira. You know the story from there. The Yankees hoisted World Series trophy No. 27 at the end of that same season.
New York has missed the playoffs just twice in the last 19 years, and the club hasn't been excluded from postseason play in back-to-back years since the dismal 13-year stretch of the 80s and early 90s. It's clear that we are looking at 2009 all over again. Not only are the Yankees not missing the playoffs this year, but they are not settling for anything less than World Series title No. 28.
The Yankees' 2013 injury-plagued season was depressing. At times, it was downright unbelievable the poor luck the players seemed to have. Not only that, but the Alex Rodriguez saga that consumed the media for much of the season didn't help matters. The 2013 season can only be described as an epic failure, and executives are proving that they will not let that happen in 2014.
Fans, of course, want their Yankees to win now, but what about the future? The 2013 injury parade wasn't just about bad luck, it was about age too. It would be so refreshing to see them sign at least one player with a "2″ as the first digit in his age. Now there is talk of using Brett Gardner as trade bait to perhaps secure more pitching. The Yankees need pitching, yes, but please, please, not at the cost of another homegrown and relatively young guy.
Continued success in an uncapped league comes from a combination of savvy acquisitions and a healthy farm system. This is common knowledge, right? I'll be happy when the Yankees win No. 28, but I won't be happy to see this offseason spending-spree cycle repeat itself every five years. Then again, this is the New York Yankees we're talking about. Their mission statement might as well be, "Win. Now."

Big batteries could solve hydro surges and shortages
Toronto Hydro is experimenting with big batteries to store and supply power to homes and businesses.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The next big thing in keeping your lights on sits in a trio of unremarkable green metal boxes outside Roding Community Centre in North York.
At first blush it doesn't sound radical: In effect, it's a battery.
But it's a very, very big one. Big enough, in fact, to power a modest block of nine houses for a day, should it be necessary.
And the developers of the battery system are looking for it to do much more than provide stopgap power in an emergency. The North York installation is the first one of its scale in North America, according to Carmine Pizzurro, whose company eCAMION Inc., based in Markham, Ont., led the development of the batteries.
The developers are hoping it will let utilities smooth out the surges and shortages of electricity that course through the system. Those ebbs and flows result in power going begging at some times, while the system strains to meet demand at others.
Smoothing those surges and slowdowns could save power systems money by forestalling the need to install extra wires and transformers to serve short-lived peaks in demand.
It's all grand theory; but nobody knows just how well it works until it's tried, Toronto Hydro's Richard Ford said in an interview.
"There are very few utility scale demonstrations in existence," Ford said. "There's very little practical experience."
That's the point of the $16-million project, which got a $5-million grant from Sustainable Development Technology Canada.
The rest of the project is supported by Toronto Hydro and by the group of companies that developed the battery, led by eCAMION Inc. The University of Toronto, which designed the control systems, is also a partner.
Ford said that until the batteries start operating, it's not clear what the biggest benefits will be, nor whether all customers would benefit to the same extent.
For example:
The system uses lithium ion batteries — the same type that power cell phones. Cluster them together in big units, and a battery with 250 kilowatt hours of storage, or nine times what a typical household uses in a day, is created.
Pizzurro's company has a staff of 15 who are designing and assembling the systems in Markham. "All of our technical guys came from the GTA area," he said, as do most of the components. "We have a lot of U of T grads here."
"Our mandate is to create Canadian jobs," Pizzurro said. "This is high tech, clean tech."
The unit at the Roding centre should be commissioned by the end of this week.

UAE undoubdetly is the safest place on earth. Thanks to sincere rulers and May God keep this country safe from evil eyes. Khurshid Qazi
Khurshid, Dubai, Pakistan
I am lover of UAE I am living here from last 6 year life is soo beautiful calm peaceful here no doubt sheikhs convert desert into garden, a garden with every kind of flower…………………but just one thing I am missing here top level universities research centres........
Moin, Al Ain, United Arab Emirates
Dubai: The world's largest mall to be built in Dubai could cost approximately Dh10 billion, according to some analyst estimates.
The Mall of the World, part of the planned Mohammad Bin Rashid City, may cost an estimated Dh10 billion, said Shane Eldstrom, director of education at the Middle East Council of Shopping Centres.
The announcement of the mega-project on Saturday did not include details of cost or timeline.
The mall is expected to attract a mix of international retail brands from China, India and the Far East as well as interest from UK and Europe and food and beverage outlets from the US, according to Craig Plumb, the head of research with Jones Lang Lasalle.
The mall is planned for the long-term when online shopping is catching up in the region.
Retailers will continue to follow their current strategy of running a physical store where shoppers can "touch and feel" products but have the option to buy them online when they go home, Plumb said.

The human side of big data
Executive Voice

Jim Goodnight, the billionaire CEO of SAS, didn't just start a tech company. He started a community, complete with a hair salon, walking trails and sushi. As Goodnight looks back on his accomplishments, it's that SAS community in Cary that he's most proud of – one that's garnished many "Best Places to Work" titles.
But Goodnight is more than just the richest man in North Carolina (with nearly $13 billion, says Bloomberg). He's also more than a CEO or one of the Triangle's most outspoken STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) advocates.
Talk to Goodnight, and you'll find out he's more approachable than you think.
Where do you see yourself, career-wise, if you hadn't started at SAS? I'd probably have become a computer programmer. After spending some time in Florida working on the Apollo project, I came back to North Carolina to finish my master's degree at N.C. State. After I took my very first course in computer programming as a sophomore – the only (such) course they had at N.C. State at the time – I was enamored with computing. There was no question that was exactly what I wanted to do. Computer programming dovetailed nicely with my statistical curriculum.
One of the major consumers of computing back in the late '50s/early '60s was, in fact, the statistical community doing data analysis of all sorts of agricultural data. As a matter of fact, that's the group I worked in at N.C. State. It was called the Experiment Station. The Experiment Station is set up from grants from the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture). There are land-grant universities all over the south that have experiment stations and the statisticians in these experiment stations have meetings and work with each other. During the mid-'60s they were looking to N.C. State to provide the software and data analysis tools for them to use. Almost all of them had the same kind of IBM mainframe computers. That's how we began developing programs that we would export to all the other experiment stations in the Southeast.
Lauren Ohnesorge covers information technology and entrepreneurship.

Stuffed pilchards with capers and lemon
Serves 4
Saturday 11 September 2010
This makes a lovely starter, main or a light lunch dish. The crumbs soak up the oils from the fish as it's cooking and bring out all of the aromas of the herbs. You can use pilchards, sardines, mackerel or even herrings for this; just get your fishmonger to butterfly your fish, or you could do it yourself if you are a dab hand with a knife, ensuring you remove as many of the larger bones as possible. You can use green herbs like chives, parsley, chervil and small amounts of thyme and tarragon which won't overwhelm the flavours.
8 pilchards or sardines, butterflied
A little olive or corn oil for frying
A little flour for dusting
2-3tbsp capers, rinsed
The juice of 1 lemon
100g butter or olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the stuffing
2 large shallots, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
A couple of knobs of butter
50g fresh white or sourdough breadcrumbs
2-3tbsp chopped green herbs (see above)
To make the stuffing, melt the butter in a saucepan and gently cook the shallots and garlic for a couple of minutes. Remove from the heat then stir in the breadcrumbs and herbs; season. Lay the pilchards on a board, skin side down and spoon as much stuffing down the centre as you can; fold them over and flatten slightly.
Heat some oil in a non-stick or reliable frying pan, season and lightly flour the pilchards and fry them on a medium heat for 2-4 minutes on each side (you may need to cook these in a few batches). Once cooked, melt the butter in another pan until it begins to foam, then add the capers and lemon juice. Serve on warmed plates with the caper butter spooned over.

During a recent parent-teacher conference for my fourth-grader, the teacher said she had been differentiating instruction for my child. I wasn't sure exactly what she meant by differentiation. I assumed she was doing this for every student in the class and not just my child. I wondered how and what she was differentiating and what types of assessments she was using to help her differentiate.[…] Continue Reading »

Blended learning is transforming roles of teachers and students in many classrooms and has become a trendy buzzword in education in recent years.

I needed this reminder because the pressure to implement a new policy, program or initiative often filtered or blocked what I needed to see right in front of me: Human beings engaged with other human beings trying to do their best.[…] Continue Reading »

Grazing fish must be protected to save Caribbean coral, scientists say
Friday 02 November 2007
Coral reefs in the Caribbean are being smothered by algae and could soon be damaged beyond repair unless there is a campaign to protect a grazing fish that feeds on the aquatic plant, a study has found.
Scientists say much of the coral in the Caribbean risks being killed because algae is growing over it faster than it can be removed by grazers such as the sea urchin and parrotfish.
A study that attempts to chart the future decline of Caribbean coral has found that protecting parrotfish – which are prized for the dinner table – could be one of the best ways of trying to help coral reefs recover from several years of being smothered by expanding colonies of algae.
Coral reefs in the region have suffered from a range of environmental assaults over the past 30 years, from hurricanes and pollution to climate change.
The scientists found that reefs overgrown with algae would not recover if the original cause of the problem, such as pollution, was addressed because they had become permanently unhealthy.
Professor Peter Mumby, of the University of Exeter, said: "If we carry on the way we are reefs will change forever. This will be devastating for the Caribbean's rich marine environment and the livelihood of millions."
The study, published in the journal Nature, called for a ban on fish traps to protect parrotfish.
