News: Mets trade Ryan Church for Jeff Francoeur
The Mets have traded Ryan Church to the Braves for OF Jeff Francoeur.
Update, 6:47 pm, by Matthew Cerrone:
Omar Minaya said the Mets will receive 'cash considerations' in the deal from the Braves with Francoeur.
Minaya described Francoeur as a Gold Glove right fielder, who, as he put it, 'some consider to be the best defensive right-fielder in baseball,' and a guy who has a very good arm.
He said talks with the Braves started yesterday afternoon, and he followed up with GM Frank Wren this morning.
Minaya credited Assistant GM John Ricco with initially suggesting the team look in to acquiring Francoeur.
"This had nothing to do with not liking Ryan Church, but, one thing we like about Francoeur is the amount of games he plays," Minaya explained, pointing out that he's played over 152 games each of the last three seasons.
"We've got to keep on trying to do these type of things," Minaya said. "We are working, it's not that we're not, there a couple of things we are talking to other clubs about, they may be big, they may be minor, but we've got to continue to try to do things to shake it up a little bit, and not just be complacent."
…i believe this may be part of a larger plan to essentially re-create the team to be Citi Field Specific, i.e., the best defense possible, speed, some power, more speed and lots of pitching… i hope this is the case… one step at a time, i guess…
Update, 7:01 pm, by Matthew Cerrone:
Ryan Church told reporters, before leaving the clubhouse, that he looks forward to getting a new start with a new team.
He said he has no problem with how the team handled his injuries last season, though he admitted things probably could have been handled differently.
"I'll always love New York," he said. "I just want to thank all the fans, and it's been great playing for this organization."
Original Post, by Mike Nichols:
Francoeur had been hitting .250 with a .280 OBP, five HR and 35 RBI in 304 at bats for Atlanta this season.
He is under contract and eligible for arbitration through 2011, after which he can become a free agent.
...love the deal…the Mets needed to shake up the roster… the potential francoeur has is much greater than that of church, plus the Mets lose nothing on the defensive side…
…welcome aboard, frenchy…
Update, 6:17 pm, by Matthew Cerrone:
Nick Evans will remain on the roster, since Church has been traded.
… i assume he will again be demoted when Jeff Francoeur arrives from the Braves…
…well, i kept saying, if the Mets were going to make a trade, it would be for this sort of player, i.e., an outfielder, under contract, with upside, who has yet to meet the hype, like an Xavier Nady 2006 type… and, i'd say francoeur fits that mold, to say the least…
…i am still unsure of this deal… i liked church, and still feel he got a bit of a raw deal… that said, francoeur is 25 years old, and few young players in the game have his size and power, with one of the best outfield arms in the league… and, i agree with mike, in that francoeur has much more upside…

Hopi sues to halt snowmaking at Arizona Snowbowl
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — The Hopi Tribe is taking another shot at halting
snowmaking at a northern Arizona ski resort.
The tribe sued federal officials this week to protect a threatened plant that
it says will be harmed by snow made with treated wastewater. The San Francisco
Peaks ragwort is found only on the mountain at elevations above 10,900 feet.
Arizona Snowbowl general manager J.R. Murray tells the Arizona Daily Sun that snowmaking will be operational by Christmas, if
The Hopi Tribe wants a federal court to step in and block those plans.
The Coconino National Forest declined to comment on the lawsuit but is
reviewing any potential impacts to the plant.
Courts have rejected other lawsuits to block snowmaking that were based on
religious freedom and health impacts of treated wastewater.

"Social Influence" is a hot topic. There is no shortage of opinions on what 'influence' actually means and no shortage of companies who seek to analyze influential prospects and customers for business gain. But one thing the industry does seem to agree on is that influencer monitoring and measuring is here to stay as a key component of the paid, owned and earned media equation.
Scott Milener, SVP Social Strategy from Kred, a social media analytics company created by PeopleBrowsr, recently spoke with the IAB Social Media Committee about this topic. "A social influencer is someone who inspires action from others in their community," Milener said, adding "We're accustomed to thinking of top influencers as being celebrities or media outlets. Social analytics gives us an opportunity to move beyond that group to find people that have high influence in small close networks connected by interests, passions and affiliations. These people are exponential in value to non-influencers and can have a profound impact on the opinions of their peers and followers." A top goal is to "achieve virality by getting influencers to organically and virally spread messages or links." Milener stressed the importance of valuing influencers by "rewarding, incentivizing and treating them as if they were top journalists." This engagement with influencers drives brand-related conversations.
We followed up with three IAB member companies present at the meeting to see what role social influence plays in their business' paid, owned and earned media equation, how it is measured and how they see this evolving in the future.
Raman Kia | Executive Director, Digital Strategy | Conde Nast Media Group | @Raman_Kia
Social Influence is the ability to activate participatory eagerness across one's social and interest graphs. In the context of social media influence should not solely be defined in terms of conversations and community size, the core tenets of social media, but also in terms of interest based actions which fuel the interest graph. The interest graph is a more powerful mechanism than the social graph when it comes to driving social influence. The influence of the social butterfly is dying. This is because attention is about context. If you want attention you have to provide content that intersects your audience's path to consumption. In the future, Social Influencers will have more powerful interest graphs than social graphs. Either way, measuring this type of influence in terms of business gain is straightforward, but in order to measure it successfully you must have pre-defined goals. In its most simplified form at Condé Nast, from an acquisition stand point, we are typically measuring referral traffic to our websites, which means Omniture and Google Analytics are predominantly used to measure the success of social influencer programs. In its broadest sense marketing programs have three main pillars: Acquisition, Engagement, and Conversion, and ultimately what to measure and how to measure it depends on your business goals.
Art Zeidman | President | UNRULY Media | @arthurzee
At Unruly, our core business is social video distribution and measurement of video sharing across the web. We define social influence not only by the size and precision of a particular influencers' social graph, but also by the amount of sharing that they drive of our clients' video content…and by the amount of meaningful conversation around that content that ensues. We also measure the quality of the engagement that these influencers can stimulate including video dwell time, play rates and the volume and tone of subsequent conversation. In Unruly's view, these are all legitimate criteria for measuring influence. We measure the power of this influence for brands every day. In fact, we published a white paper earlier this year that demonstrates the exponential value of recommendation across social media and how that can translate into ROI for marketers. At Unruly, we see social influence growing in importance for brand marketers over the long haul. The real power of digital media is its ability to facilitate a feedback loop. As marketers grow more comfortable with having an ongoing conversation with their consumers, more and better influencers will emerge. The democratization of the web means that anyone can be a publisher…with the widening and deepening of social platforms, it's a natural progression that anyone can become an influencer as well!
David Fleck | GM | Disqus | @davidericfleck
At Disqus, we strive to create engaging communities and to elevate the quality of discussions. In June we rebuilt our platform specifically to more fully capture and incorporate social influence signals from our large user base (800 million monthly uniques, 300 million monthly active users). For instance, Disqus displays the best comments at the top of the discussion thread based in large part on community voting and user reputation scores. Another example is the social discovery of content via our Discovery box whereby users receive personalized content recommendations based on what they (and users similar to them) have read and engaged with across Disqus-enabled sites. We are also excited about the monetization opportunities around social discovery because it allows advertisers to natively enter the conversation while also being complementary to the user experience. In the future, social influence will take an ever-expanding role in everything we do. Why? Because doing so drives tangible results. For example, traffic that is referred by Disqus social discovery performs much better than other referral sources…on average 2X the page views and 3X the time on site versus other referrers. Our success depends upon capitalizing on the richness of our data, a key component of which is social influence.
This blog series focuses on key areas of interest within the realm of paid, owned and earned media and taps into the expertise of IAB Social Media Committee members to share insights and best practices.

Traffic was tied up on 100 North in Price due to an accident last Thursday that sent two injured victims to the hospital.
The June 12 mishap forced some drivers onto Main Street while other motorists remained at a temporary standstill behind the debris.
According to the Price City Police Department, the investigation into the accident indicated that 39-year-old Moab resident Debbie Sanchez was reportedly driving westbound on 100 North and failed to yield at a red light at 300 East. Sanchez car then collided with a northbound vehicle in the intersection driven by 18-year-old Heather Davis of Price.
The impact of the collision spun Sanchez' Honda Accord completely around, indicated the local law enforcement agency. Davis' Dodge Neon went into the southbound lane on 300 East after traveling approximately 80 feet from the intersection after the collision occurred.
Sanchez was issued a citation for failing to yield at a signal light in connection with the mishap, confirmed the Price police department. Both drivers were wearing safety restraints and the airbags in the two vehicles deployed at the time of the collision. But both drivers were transported to Castleview Hospital for medical treatment.

Submission Low Oxygen Cellular Protein Synthesis Mechanism Discovered->
_prime writes: Until recently the mechanism by which cells make proteins in low-oxygen environments has been unknown. As published in Nature this week, the discovery of the mechanism by an Ottawa-based team of researchers potentially means it could be "very easy to kill cancer cells" without harming normal cells because cancer cells leverage the same low-oxygen protein synthesis mechanism even in the presence of normal oxygen levels.

More than a month after North Korea tested a nuclear device, the United States is unable to pinpoint whether the regime was able to use uranium to fuel the explosion, a capability that would represent a significantly enhanced nuclear program.
The lack of clarity comes as North Korea ratchets up its bellicose rhetoric each day.
New video broadcast on North Korean television showed the nation's leader, Kim Jong Un, addressing his troops along the border on Monday and issuing a blood-chilling threat, "Throw all enemies into the caldron, break their waists and crack their windpipes." It was the same location he and his late father visited in November 2010, just two days before the North shelled an island, killing four South Koreans.
The bellicose comments have been intensifying over the past months, increasing worry about Kim's unpredictability.
"I am very concerned about what they might do. And they are certainly, if they chose ... could initiate a provocative action against the South," Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday.
North Korea has threatened a pre-emptive nuclear attack not only on South Korea, but on the United States too. Military and White House officials have said the United States can defend against any such threat. President Barack Obama told ABC news this week that he does not think North Korea can make good on the threat.
"They probably can't, but we don't like margin of error," Obama told ABC News.
That ambiguity is not lost on Sen. Dianne Feinstein. "There's perhaps nowhere else on Earth where the capacity to wreak enormous damage is matched by the possibility of North Korea using their nuclear weapons," the chairwoman of the Intelligence Committee said.
Particularly worrisome are the advancements the North Koreans have made in their nuclear and missile programs. In December, they successfully launched a long-range ballistic missile for the first time under what the United States and other Western nations say was the guise of putting a satellite into orbit.
The United States is concerned that a long-range ballistic missile could be fitted with a nuclear warhead and could be capable of striking the mainland, although experts say North Korea does not yet have the expertise to do so.
And then last month, the Pyongyang regime conducted its third underground nuclear test.
U.S. officials tell CNN they have not determined what kind of nuclear device the north tested underground from its Pung-gye-Ri nuclear test site.
A U.S. intelligence official said "nothing has changed" since the Office of the Director of National Intelligence put out a statement within hours of the February 12 nuclear test indicating the test had an explosive yield of several kilotons.
The U.S. Air Force uses sniffer planes to take air samples after a test in hopes of scooping up radioactive particles that will provide more specific details about the contents. The official's comment indicates the United States has obtained no further information that would help determine the type of nuclear material used, and at this late date, probably would not.
The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization, an international group that monitors nuclear tests, also said it was unable to get a fix on what fissile material was used by the North Koreans and didn't expect it ever would.
"What we are not sure of is if the North Koreans used plutonium, which they used in their earlier tests or highly enriched uranium for this third test," said Daryl Kimball, the executive director of the Arms Control Association. "If they used highly enriched uranium, that would be very worrisome because it would suggest they have a larger supply of this material that would allow them to build a larger number of nuclear weapons."
Kimball said detection is always iffy. If the chamber where the explosion takes place deep underground is well-sealed, few particles may be released into the atmosphere. And if samples are gathered, they need to be "relatively fresh and very good" to determine whether it was a plutonium-based or uranium-based explosion.
The type of nuclear material matters because North Korea gave up its production of weapons-grade plutonium six years ago and only has a limited amount of the fissile material in its stocks, enough for approximately six bombs, according to experts. After years of denial, the regime acknowledged in 2010 it had an enriched uranium facility. That's problematic because such facilities are hard to detect and could produce large supplies of highly enriched uranium.
Kimball doesn't like the trend. "They don't yet have the capability to deliver a nuclear warhead on a long-range missile that could reach the U.S. Despite whatever they say, they may soon - in the next two to three years with further testing - be able to deliver a nuclear warhead on a ballistic missile that could strike their neighbors," Kimball said.
A North Korean expert believes that Kim Jung Un's regime is playing the international community. "North Korea had done three tests: the ballistic missile, the nuclear and a test of all of us, and the question is, what are we going to do?" said Philip Yun, executive director of the Ploughshares Fund, an anti-nuclear weapons foundation.
The United States and the United Nations have recently imposed additional economic sanctions against North Korea, but so far sanctions have not led to the resumption of talks.
The U.S. special envoy to North Korea says unless the regime is serious about talks and meets its obligations to de-nuclearize, its future will be bleak.
"North Korea will not achieve security, economic prosperity and integration into the international community while it pursues nuclear weapons, while it threatens its neighbors, while it tramples on international norms, abuses its own people and refuses to fulfill its long-standing obligations and commitments," Glyn Davies told a congressional panel. "This is one of the hardest foreign policy problems out there."
This video demonstrates how to detect a North Korean nuclear test in no time, right from your PC, before the news even know it happened.
A little guy in an overblown Dear Leader role surrounded by puppet masters.
Squash'em like a bug.
Dont say "crack" too loud, merion berry night get excited
If we get nuked by North Korea after all this time. We had when we could have destroyed them the government and it alone will be help responsible. If we used just one bomb when MacArthur asked for it. We wouldn't be having this conversation.
You're insane.
The should just start bombing them and get it over with once and for all.
Is there any evidence at all that any of these "nuclear" test actually involved a nuclear explosion? It wouldn't be that hard for a totalitarian nation to set off a couple thousand tons of TNT in a deep cave and send some radioactive dust into the path of a sniffer. Any evidence at all???
Your name shoud be Dumphuqe.
shouldnt they just go ahead and kill this egomaniac?
We are not allowed to assassinate political figures.
Uuuuuhhhh... Can-t. Bre-ath... W-w-windpipe.... b-brok-en. Kim Jung's big fat ,,, f-foot.
I say, let's send some our sample nuke heads on over to this (strange) little man for his first hand inspection:-)
International Policy Digest has an interesting article regarding North Korea's behavior toward the West and how its belligerence is nothing more than a failing regime finally acknowledging their rule is coming to an end.

.. "NO MISSILES NEEDED!" Kim Jong Un's Nuclear Hiroshima Landmines (rated 60 Kilotons. Horoshima was 20KT) are currently concealed inside of & under feet of US & Europe. SEE: U.S. House Hearing 106-158 chaired by U.S. House Rep. Dan Burton. Further testimony by Sen. Lugar.
..Again, to "falsehood journalists": "NO MISSILES ARE NEEDED for delivery of Kim Jong Un's Nuclear Hiroshima Landmines, which cannot be detected on radar & cannot be shot down once underground inside backyards of United States, Wash, DC, NY, OH, MI, GA, FL, IL, TX, CA, etc., etc!"
..U.S. proposed "Anti MIssile Shield" is obsolete like the "Maginot Line" in France before WW2. Wasted money!
..SEE: U.S. House Hearing. 106-158. Kim Jong Un's Nuclear Hiroshima Landmines are one-man portable, carried as backpack or "suitcase nuke" from a small boat or Kayak at the US coastline to your city.
.. Alleging "missile delivery" of these weapons has been recognized as a "ruse" by top military planners since the "Cold War" when these Nuclear Landmines were being "seeded" by the U.S. & the Soviet Union.
..Kim Jong Un's Nuclear Hiroshima Landmines are inside the U.S. and inside Europe & this truth is impossible to deny, unless you are mentally disabled or a very good liar.
It is a scientific (and indisputable) fact that Americans are a bunch of stupid animals easy to manipulate and subdue; these slobs are extremely gullible and incapable to think for themselves – trained not to think. Moreover, these mules are lovers of wealth and pleasure; they are selfish, slothful, indolent and can be inspired to raise above their brutish existence only by fear of impending death or catastrophe.
So, Yury, where's the evidence of the ridiculous statement that you made? Let me guess...you can't produce any, can you? I'm also going to guess that you're NK; I'm so sorry for you...
Yuri, you are so stupid.
You need a good enema.
Yuri you are truly a sorry human being, but then again calling you human would be a compliment.
nukes. 9-11 could have been. 'suitcase nukes were the worry back then. my people say that a deep cover cia/mkultra agent,helped down play the koreans insistance on using a 'suitcase nuke' on the twin towers. suitcase nukes,were the real nucliar deturrent of the 1950s-60s,with the 'big three'[ussr,usa,prc,each having secret nukes,located in the other twos capitals. look at todays 'gamma ray dection efforts. these secret nukes,much more of a threat than n.koreas efforts. china controls n.k.,and the current sabre rettleing aside,the us state dept. must get back on the ball.
Instead of threats, shouldent this little cherubic asian man make another Gangnam Style video to follow up the first?
I have to admit, reading this makes me believe that another World War may be around the corner. Although North Korea has a strong military, I don't know if any other nation would side with it.
Sanctions just do not work. They hurt the ordinary person in the street, but not the NK leadership or their military.
Ideally, if the U.N. stood for anything, they would have acted with a combined military force a long time ago, both against North Korea and Iran.
Of course, the two major stumbling blocks have been Russia (Iran) and China (NK). The crime is, the U.N. never called their bluff. This, yet again, leaves the fate of the Free World in the hands of the USA. Good ole USA, yes they will fight our wars for us and keep us safe. And, when all is said and done, and the threats are extinguished, the USA will be a prime scapegoat for peaceniks, the liberal minded, and those too afraid to grow a pair, throughout the Free World.
There comes a time when the USA has to think about itself and its own people. Why dunk the US into yet another tank of financial depression fighting the Free World's wars for them. It's time the USA took a back seat from their assumed role as World's police officer. All while maintaining the highest state of alert in keeping an extremely watchful eye on NK and Iran. And, if either one so much as blinks, or fuels a rocket, in the general direction of the USA, then that's motive enough to bring down the hammer.
Let's face it, if NK threatened Russia or China, it would be game over already!

CANTON The 19-year-old Rochester man charged in an April drug-related stabbing and robbery in Ogdensburg was a no show for his second arraignment on Monday in St. Lawrence County Court.
Olajuwon J. Holt, also known as Fraido, had been released from jail awaiting an indictment for first-degree robbery and criminal possession of a controlled substance and first-degree attempted assault that was handed up by a St. Lawrence County Grand Jury earlier this month.
Mr. Holts arraignment was not adjourned by St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards, and he has been given until Friday to surrender himself.
Mr. Holts attorney, Mary E. Rain, said her client failed to check his mail and didnt know that he was to appear in court Monday morning. She added she hoped to reach him before the court issued a bench warrant on Friday, if he failed to appear.
Holt had been incarcerated on the indicted charges and multiple misdemeanor charges from April 16 to June 13, when he was released as a result of a 45-day motion filed by Ms. Rain. The district attorneys office has 45 days from the time of a felony arrest to bring an indictment.
It is alleged that Holt entered the home of Michael J. Wells, 1130 Ford St., on April 15 to buy marijuana, and while there, he grabbed the drugs and approximately $500, according to police. When confronted by Mr. Wells, Holt produced a large, fixed-blade knife and stabbed Mr. Wells in the chest and in his side before fleeing on foot, according to police.
Mr. Wells was treated at Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center for two stab wounds and released.
Police located Holt at 11 p.m. the same day in the upstairs bedroom of a Mill Street home. He was found in possession of several capsules of oxycodone and more than 25 grams of marijuana stored in four sandwich bags, according to police.
In other court action Monday:
Edwin G. Roach, 53, of 511 Knox St., Ogdensburg, pleaded not guilty to two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, two counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminal sale of a controlled substance, a class D felony.
It is alleged that Mr. Roach was in possession of and sold cocaine to another person in Ogdensburg on Feb. 23 and March 5, 2012. Additionally, it is alleged that he was in possession of and sold codeine in the city on April 3, 2012.
Kayla M. OBrien, 19, of state Route 345, Potsdam, was placed on one year of interim probation after a May 28 guilty plea to third-degree grand larceny.
OBrien was arrested in July of last year after stealing $600 in cash and four checks from her grandfather, which she then forged for a total of $2,500.
By successfully completing the one year sentence, OBrien is seeking to earn a youthful offender status. OBrien was ordered to pay $6,506 in restitution and $ 650 in court fines.
Sentencing was adjourned to Aug. 11, 2014.
Gilbert B. Murdoch, 49, Niagara Falls was returned to St. Lawrence County jail without bail during a court status after his attorney, Peter A. Dumas, and St. Lawrence County Assistant District Attorney Joshua A. HaberkornHalm both recommended he be released under probation supervision while awaiting a chemical dependency evaluation.
During his Aug. 12 arraignment to which he pleaded not guilty to felony driving while intoxicated charge, he subsequently tested positive for THC and cocaine to a drug test administered by county probation officials.
He is scheduled to return to court at 9:15 a.m. Sept. 5.
Andrew M. France, 34, DeKalb Junction, was sentenced to an indeterminate term of one to three years in state prison after an April 17, 2012 guilty plea to a felony DWI.
The sentence also comes after France, who is currently on parole, tried to strike a deal with the court by seeking to have his parole sentence extended by two years. Currently it is scheduled to end on June 10, 2014. The agreement could not be reached. In his Aug 5 court appearance, Judge Richards said he would have considered putting France on interim probation for two years if parolee agreed to extend his sentence, keeping him from avoiding prison.
In addition to his prison sentence, Judge Richards ordered a conditional discharge of three years post-release supervision court fines, fees and surcharges of $1,570 and restitution in the amount of $2,053.
Amanda H. Clark, 34, formerly of 511 Elizabeth St., Ogdensburg, was sentenced to five years of probation after pleading guilty to a felony DWI on May 14.
Probation supervision will be transferred to Oneida County, where Clark is currently housed in a Catholic Charities Halfway House in Utica.
Clark thanked the judge for having her incarcerated, as she said it was a moment of clarity.
Im impressed with myself, she told Judge Richards regarding her sobriety. Its been one hell of a ride. You really woke me up by throwing me in jail.
In addition to probation, Clark was ordered to pay $1,570 in court fines, fees and surcharges as well as $500 in restitution.
Frederic L. Miller, 59, 96 10th St., Buffalo was sentenced to six months in St. Lawrence County jail and five years of probation supervision for a felony third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance conviction.
Miller was arrested on May 3 by the Ogdensburg Police Departments Narcotics Enforcement Unit for selling crack cocaine in the city on three separate occasions, according to police at the time of the arrest.
Miller was also ordered to pay $375 in court fines, fees and surcharges and $300 in restitution.

CLEVELAND -- If Cleveland's 19 city council members skip legislative meetings, they face stiff fines. At least that's what it says on paper.
However, The Investigator Tom Meyer found no one gets penalized, regardless how poor their attendance is.
Councilman Ken Johnson took "top honors" for the worst city council attendance last year, attending 74 percent of the meetings.
"I don't really know. I really have no comment," Johnson said when questioned about his poor attendance.
After giving it more thought, he blamed his poor attendance on being busier than anyone else.
Councilwoman Phyllis Cleveland has the fourth-worst attendance. Her response is because she has a challenging ward.
Downtown councilman Joe Cimperman tied Johnson for the worst attendance last year, but Cimperman and his colleagues say he had to spend considerable time on medical issues and on caring for a newborn.
City council members can be fined up to 2% of their salary for missing meetings, according to the city charter.
Council President Marty Sweeny said no one has ever been penalized in the 17 years he has been on council, including the past eight he has spend as president.
Several council members said they saw Councilman Eugene Miller at only one of the seven budget hearings last month, even though records show he attended all seven.
MORE ON MILLER STORY: Investigator: No show councilman too busy
Miller also missed 22% of the meetings last year.
After avoiding multiple attempts to contact him, Miller stated that if records show he attended all seven budget hearings, he must have.
"I'm not going to blow off a committee meeting just to go do something," Miller said when asked about his overall attendance.
Council records don't show how long a council member attended a meeting. There is no minimum requirement.
Council members may show up, leave a few minutes later and still go down in the books as being in attendance.
Some councilmen say it happens all the time without penalty.

The growing energy boom in the United States will make it the largest global oil producer by the end of the decade, temporarily exceeding Saudi Arabia, and a top exporter of natural gas, according to a new report. Released Monday, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a French research group for oil-importing nations, published data showing that by 2030, the United States will be energy self-sufficient on net and North America will become a net oil exporter.
"North America is at the forefront of a sweeping transformation in oil and gas production that will affect all regions of the world, yet the potential also exists for a similarly transformative shift in global energy efficiency," asserted IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven. "This year's World Energy Outlook shows that by 2035, we can achieve energy savings equivalent to nearly a fifth of global demand in 2010. In other words, energy efficiency is just as important as unconstrained energy supply, and increased action on efficiency can serve as a unifying energy policy that brings multiple benefits."
Not since 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell and the "peace dividend" of military spending cuts was propelled, has the United States derived such an abrupt economic boost. According to the IEA report, as long as "fracking" technology — a hydraulic drilling technique that injects water, sand, and chemicals deep underground to crack shale rock formations and extract oil and natural gas — is determined environmentally safe, the rush in unconventional oil and natural gas will offer exceptional benefits to the U.S. economy, including, according to the Christian Science Monitor,

The Rangers currently have five defensemen under the age of
28 on their roster and two more top prospects on the way, so it's very likely
New York will be looking to add some offensive firepower with its first-round
pick, No. 15 overall in the NHL Draft.
Between now and June 24th, we'll take a look at some of the
forwards that the Rangers might be thinking about taking on draft
day. Today, we look at…
Nikita Kucherov

What They're Saying:
THN – "Quick shot, excellent stickhandler. Insanely creative, but inconsistent."
Scouting Report – "It's tough to find a player that made a bigger case for
himself at the U18's than Russia's
Nikita Kucherov. The dynamic Russian winger absolutely shredded the competition
in Germany
with an astronomical 21 points in 7 games. Kucherov actually had quite a strong
season in the MHL this past year and even had some seasoning in the KHL so it's
not like he's coming out of left field. His offensive instincts and dynamic
skills could probably justify a first-round selection, but the likely "Russian"
fears and concerns about strength might push him into the second round."
2011 Draft Watch – "We're going to start calling him "Midas"
because everything he touched turned to gold. Unbelievable offensive
performance by one of the more skilled prospects in the entire class, but who
hurt his standing this season by looking disinterested and acting at times
petulant in earlier tournaments. Kucherov saved his best for last, putting on a
tour-de-force that no doubt will have some NHL teams who do not fear drafting out
of Europe readjusting their previous thinking
on him. Before the tourney we would have thought there was no way Kucherov
would be a first-round pick, but if you're a club picking in the final few
spots of this draft, why wouldn't try to swing for the fences? If he does drop
into the second, the wait won't be a long one. Showed enough game-breaking
speed, quick hands and an absolutely serial killer instinct when it came to
finishing off chances."
Corey Pronman – "Nikita Kucherov was the draft's best kept secret until the Under-18's, and
those who've followed Kucherov over in Russia's Junior league have long
known about the potential he has. He's an above-average skater, with good mechanics
and quick, rapid strides. His puck skills grade as above-average as well, but
not really in the stick-handling department as that aspect is barely average.
Kucherov makes his play on the puck by the way of his passing skills, which
sits comfortably as a 55 grade tool, but can flash 60. His finishing ability
also grades as above-average. Kucherov has shown the ability to wrist goals
from mid-distance, find and knock in loose pucks from close in and has a hard
one-timer that he likes to unleash from the circles. His physical game at the
moment is below fringe level, just because he's a short guy with a frame that
is very thin and lacks strength, but his work ethic is good enough that when he
grows, the tool can get to fringe. Kucherov frequently goes to the front of the
net, at times spending entire power plays there, shows decent ability
pressuring on the forecheck and will battle for the puck, but is easily
overwhelmed by bigger players. He's a smart player who thinks the game at a
solid to 55 grade level. His offensive smarts are seen in his patience and
vision with the puck and anticipation of the play, and defensively he shows
average ability, with the fact his combination of skating and work ethic let
him fly up and down the ice help him stay on his check well. His intangibles
are also quite notable and his coach noticed that, naming him the Captain of a
team with plenty of 19, 20 and 21 year olds at the age of 17. Kucherov has the
ability to play a plethora of roles, and once he bulks up, he's advanced enough
to make the transition to the highest level pretty soon."
Future – "His record breaking scoring performance at the U18s is certain to
improve his draft stock. Kucherov was able to really amplify his skill set
playing with the phenomenal playmaking skills of 2012 top prospect Mikhail
Grigorenko. His opportunism and ability to raise his game to match such skill
is impressive, but Kucherov has been steadily impressing all year long at every
level he has played."
THN.com – "The knock on Kucherov is his inconsistency, but during the under-18s, he's
been consistently awesome. The Russian right winger has world-class creativity,
a good shot and mad stickhandling skills."

Thoughts: Kucherov wasn't on anyone's first-round radar
until a ridiculous performance at the under-18s, but now he's one of the
fastest rising players in the draft. Kucherov passes fantastic passing and finishing ability and is known for
being a good skater and stickhandler as well. Scouts mentioned his inconsistency, but clearly he improved as the year
progressed. As with all Russian
prospects, there is concern about bringing Kucherov over to North
America. That makes picking
him a risk, and one that not all teams are willing to take.
The Rangers drafted Alexei Cherepanov out of Russia in 2007 and didn't seem worried about
getting him to North America eventually. Kucherov's offensive ability will make the
Rangers think about him, but he's probably a bigger risk than they'd like to
take. A team like Washington, which has tremendous success
with Russian prospects thanks to Alex Ovechkin, is a more likely future home
for Kucherov.

Read: The NBA Players Feel For The NHL Players, What Crosby and Ovechkin Think
In the Toronto Star, Kevin McGran wrote about how NBA players are able to relate to the players in the NHL as they go through the lockout.
McGran spoke with Matt Bonner of the San Antonio Spurs, who was on the NBAPA Negotiating team during their lockout, and Bonner said that decertification is a risky move since it throws everything into "chaos" but said "the bottom line is we did everything we could to get a deal up to that point. We reached an impasse where we didn't feel they were negotiating and we had to do something drastic to negotiate with."
Sidney Crosby, who may be close to playing in Europe, said at TSN that the process of trying to get a new CBA is frustrating and that "if we really want to get something done, I feel like we have to be there every single day, no matter what if we want to find a way to get it done."
Alexander Ovechkin said at TSN that his teammate Roman Hamrilik should have kept his mouth quiet when he made his comments about Don Fehr last week. He added "We have a team and of course, everyone wants to play, but we have to stick together…and I don't know if everyone's on the same page as those guys."

This article describes how to manage stored user names and passwords on a computer that is a member of a domain.
Stored User Names and Passwords is a secured store for password information. With this feature, you can enter user names and passwords for various network resources and applications (such as e-mail) once, and then have Windows automatically supply that information for subsequent visits to those resources without your intervention.
More InformationWhen you first log on to a server or a Web site, you are prompted for your user name and password. When you type your user name and password for the resource, and then click to select the Remember my password check box, your logon information is stored with your user account. When you next connect to the same resource, these stored credentials are used to automatically authenticate you.
When a credential is saved by selecting the Remember my password check box on the user name and password prompt that you receive when connecting to a resource, the credential are saved in the most general form possible. For example, if you are accessing a specific server in a domain, the credential may be saved as *.domain.com (where domain is the name of the domain). Saving a different credential for a different server in this domain would not overwrite this credential. The new credential would be saved by using more specific information.
When you access a resource, the authentication package searches in Stored User Names and Passwords for the most specific credential that matches that resource. If one is found, it will be used by the authentication package without any interaction from you. If a credential is not found, an authentication error is returned to the program that attempted to access the resource. You are then prompted for your user name and password.
You can manually manage the credentials stored in Stored User Names and Passwords by clicking Manage my network passwords in the user account that you want to change.
In the Stored User Names and Passwords dialog box, you can add a new entry, remove an existing entry, or view the properties to edit an existing entry.

|Postsecondary AccountabilityStudent Learning
What do college students know, and what are they able to do? How well do colleges and universities educate their students and contribute to the greater public good? These questions have become more pressing in today's information-based economy and complex democracy. Unlike the K-12 system, little is known about what students know and learn as a result of postsecondary education. As state leaders look to postsecondary education to help them develop an educated citizenry and workforce, measuring student learning is taking on greater significance.
One short-term solution to the problem of how to measure student learning is to use existing tests, such as professional licensure or graduate school examinations, to determine the effectiveness of postsecondary education. A long-term solution involves creating a national postsecondary assessment, similar to the National Assessment of Educational Progress used in the K-12 system, to measure college-level learning in the areas of problem solving, critical thinking and communications skills.1 These two solutions raise serious practical and political issues and bracket a wide range of possibilities. Several efforts are under way to find an acceptable and responsible middle ground.
States are beginning to address the issue of student learning in a variety of ways. One example of a state that is taking steps to measure student learning is Kentucky where, with the aid of the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, policymakers are trying to determine the "educational capital" — the knowledge and skills — of the state's citizens. Other projects of note include the National Forum on College-Level Learning and the Collegiate Learning Assessment, both of which attempt to measure the quality of undergraduate education in the United States by assessing its impact on student learning.
For more information about student learning, please consult the National Information Center for Higher Education Policymaking and Analysis and the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education.

By GREG EICHELBERGERSun Advocate reporter
The unspeakable horror that the Nathan and Brenda Toone family of Layton has gone through recently has shown a white hot spotlight on the need for basic knowledge of poisons and toxins we might come in contact with everyday in and around our homes and workplaces.
It for that reason the National Poison Prevention Week will take place March 14-20. The week is presented in part by the Utah Poison Control Center (UPCC), the second oldest facility in the nation.
The center, which is affiliated with the University of Utah, was established in 1954. Since that time, the organization has responded to over one million calls for assistance.
In 2008 alone, the UPCC responded to over 56,000 calls. Of the potential poisonings involved, over 63 percent involved children six years of age or younger - just like Rebecca and Rachel Toone.
Rebecca, 4, and her sister, Rachel, 15 months, passed away within days of one another after their home was treated with pesticides to eliminate rodents. The family had contracted a local company to help get rid of some voles (like a mouse, but smaller and rounder) around the residence.
A technician used the chemical Fumitoxin in burrows around the Toone's home. The Fumitoxin applicator's manual states that the pellets are not to be used within 15 feet of any building being occupied by people or animals, especially homes (in 1998, the EPA proposed increasing the buffer zone around homes treated by phosphine from 15 feet to 100, but the suggestion was never adopted).
But Lt. Col. Tyler Smith, of the Utah National Guard's 85th Civil Support Team, says his team found remnants of the one and a half pounds of the chemical, which translates into roughly 800 pellets, that was placed along the driveway and porch, coming within three feet of the garage door and about seven feet of the front door.
According to Layton Fire Chief Kevin Ward, the pellets used mixed with water to release deadly phosphine gas. It apparently then migrated from the soil into the home. The pellets release a colorless gas that has a fishy or garlicky odor when they come in contact with moisture. The off-gas, phosphine, is toxic when ingested or inhaled, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, which is affiliated with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Shortly thereafter, Rebecca died after she began having trouble breathing. The Utah Medical Examiner's Office conducted an autopsy but has not determined a cause of death, Layton police Lt. Quinn Moyes said. Toxicology tests are expected to take up to eight weeks to complete Rebecca Toone's parents and siblings were hospitalized with flu-like symptoms .
They were all discharged the next day, but Rachel, fell ill again that afternoon and was taken to Primary Children's Medical Center. Sadly, little Rachel died there a day later. And while the authorities are not 100 percent sure of the deaths of the Toone sisters, the fact that the rodent poison was place around the home so close to when the family fell ill, they are reasonably sure the two incidents are connected.
Thousands of children throughout the United States are accidentally poisoned each year by cleaning products, insecticides, medicine (both prescription and over-the-counter), weed and plant killers, paint products (including turpentine and other solvents) and even illegal narcotics used by parents or others living in the home.
"Poisonings can happen to anyone at any age," said Marty Malheiro, coordinator of outreach for the Utah Poison Control Center. "It's absolutely critical in this environment to be aware - whether we have children or not. But it's just so easy for children to get into things."
It's not just obvious toxins one needs to worry about, however. There are numerous plants and insects that could cause great harm to children, as well. Many common houseplants if eaten can be poisonous and bug and/or animal bites can also be trouble if not treated quickly.
"If a person has to use things like insecticide or herbacides , they should go with the least harmful items first," Malheiro added. "If you need to hire someone, ask to see all of the labels for all of the products to be used. Look for caution words like 'danger,' 'poison,' or 'warning.' Our motto is 'use products safely, store products safely.'"
Toxins can be ingested or inhaled or drawn into the body through the skin or eyes. If any of these situations occur, contact the control center as soon as possible. Remain calm, have the poison product available (if possible) and call 1-800-222-1222.

Ripon, WI -- Lauren McNanna, a senior guard for the Beloit College Women's Basketball team from Yorkville, Illinois (Newark), and Steve McAfee, Jr., a sophomore wing for the Men's Basketball team from Chicago (Urban Prep Academy-Englewood) were both named Midwest Conference Player of the Week in their respective sports after big games last week.
McNanna scored 33 points, the second-highest scoring output in Buccaneer history behind Nancy Habetler's 34 against Mt. Mary on February 3, 1981, in a 95-67 win over Grinnell College Saturday in Flood Arena. She made 9-16 shots from the field and 12-13 free throws while also adding a game-high five assists. Earlier in the week she scored 20 points, including six three-pointers, which ties for the second-most in history, in a 77-58 loss to Ripon College in Flood. On the season she is averaging 17.3 points per contest.
McAfee scored 48 points, the fourth-highest single-game total in Buccaneer history, in a 128-120 loss to Grinnell College in Flood on Saturday. He was 20-28 from the field, the second-most field goals ever made, and 8-13 from the free throw line. He also grabbed ten rebounds. He averages 24.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game for the season.
The Buccaneer Men host UW-Whitewater on Tuesday night in a 7:00 p.m. tipoff while the Women play at Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, on Wednesday night with action beginning at 5:30 p.m.

The Canon Optura 100MC is a digital video camcorder, using the standard MiniDV cassette; it produces the highest quality video possible from non-broadcast equipment. The MiniDV format standard delivers more than 500 lines of horizontal resolution. This is about a 25% improvement in picture quality over the best analog formats. On top of that, because it records both video and audio as digital data, this information can be transferred -- without any loss of picture or audio quality -- to computer for editing, then transferred back to DV tape, without a reduction in either picture or audio quality. All of this is through the use of the IEEE 1394 protocol commonly known as FireWire®.
DV Format Technology and Advantages
This format is based on a robust videotape formulation, a sophisticated and computer-based data capture system, the ability to allow the high-speed transfer of data from camcorder to tape, and a standard data structuring system. The MiniDV format makes professional quality video affordable.
Better picture quality than analog, sharper images and better color reproduction: that's what digital video is all about! Digital recordings are almost immune to signal problems, and result in the highest quality picture and audio. This is a major advantage over analog. Digital is the language of computers, which easily store and transfer data without distortion. It is exactly the same with digital video. Digital copies of digital videos are indistinguishable from the original, which makes editing and image manipulation so much easier and with higher quality than that delivered by analog video technology.
The tape formulation is designed to last longer and even withstand repeated use without failure, which virtually eliminates dropouts while delivering higher output and less noise.
Digital video has approximately twice the horizontal resolution of a standard VHS videocassette recorder. The resolution of a DV standard image is about 25% better than that from an S-VHS or Hi8 camcorder or deck. While resolution is dependent on a product's components and circuitry, standard VHS and 8 mm video are capable of delivering about 250 lines of horizontal resolution with S-VHS and Hi8 at about 400 - 420 lines. The DV format is capable of delivering more than 500 lines of horizontal resolution, with actual performance depending on the individual camcorder model. Another way to look at it is that an NTSC digital video signal contains three times the data of its analog counterpart; a PAL digital video signal contains six times the data of its analog counterpart.
Color resolution (or rendition) can be a problem for analog video, producing color blur and color noise. Digital video does not have this problem, delivering a far more lifelike video image on the screen. What you will see is much sharper subject edges and clearer color reproduction.
The MiniDV standard ensures that audio quality matches that of an audio CD or digital audio tape (DAT). The audio portion of the digital video signal is recorded digitally. The digital video standard includes Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) audio recording, delivering more than the normal, natural range of sound audible to humans without both distortion and noise.
All digital video equipment also have the analog video outputs (either S-video and/or composite video) found on current analog equipment so you can play a digital video on a regular TV, or transfer a digital video onto an analog VCR. If you record using a digital video camcorder, you can then copy the video onto VHS or Super-VHS tapes, 8mm or Hi8 tapes, or any of the broadcast formats such as 3/4-inch or Betacam if they have the appropriate input connectors.
IEEE 1394 Input and Output Terminal
The Optura 100MC is designed for the transfer of digital video and audio to and from either a PC or another IEEE 1394 terminal-equipped camcorder or professional DV VCR. The DV terminal allows high-quality transfer with virtually no deterioration in quality of images. You can edit and process images by connecting the camera to a PC with the IEEE 1394 terminal.

YIELD: Makes 8 to 12 servings
- Equipment: One 9-inch (23-cm) springform pan
- Butter and flour for preparing the cake pan
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2/3 cup (135 g) sugar
- 4 tablespoons (2 ounces; 60 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (6 cl) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup (8 cl) whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (200 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of sea salt
- Grated zest (yellow peel) of 1 lemon
- Grated zest (orange peel) of 1 orange
- 10 ounces (300 g) small, fresh purple grapes (see above for varieties)
- Confectioners' sugar, for garnish
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C; gas mark 4/5).
2. Generously butter and flour the springform pan, tapping out any excess flour. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and lemon-colored, about 3 minutes. Add the butter, oil, milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until blended.
4. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Add the lemon zest and orange zest, and toss to coat the zest with flour. Spoon the mixture into the bowl of batter and stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix once more. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquids.
5. Stir about 3/4 of the grapes into the batter. Spoon the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
6. Place the pan in the center of the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, then sprinkle the top of the cake with remaining grapes. Bake until the top is a deep golden brown and the cake feels quite firm when pressed with a fingertip, about 40 minutes more, for a total baking time of 55 minutes. Remove to rack to cool. After 10 minutes, run a knife along the sides of the pan. Release and remove the side of the springform pan, leaving the cake on the pan base. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar just before serving. Serve at room temperature, cut into thin wedges.
Wine suggestions
Grape cake is an ideal match for vin santo,the rich, smooth, aromatic sweet wine prepared in small quantities on many Italian estates.
In a purple haze
Over time, I have identified the mystery that discourages many shoppers from buying grapes: the inevitable hazy white film. Though one might understandably assume its due to a spray of pesticide, the film is in fact a natural substance produced by the grape. It acts as a protective covering to prevent moisture from penetrating the fruit. It also keeps the skin from cracking when the grape loses moisture. Even better, the film contains nothing toxic! You will find the same harmless film on plums.
