The 2014 event schedule for the Niagara Wine Trail, USA is now posted on the trail's website. Tickets for the 2014 events will be on sale in the coming month.
The latest change the trail has made for next year is to the very popular April "Taste of the Trail" wine and food pairing event, which is now two weekends.
"We want to give our customers the opportunity to experience all of our 19 member wineries," said trail coordinator Elizabeth Maute. "Based on the feedback we get from surveys taken after each event, many participants only have time to make it to about half of the wineries they want to during an event weekend. Our 'Holiday Happening' event is two weekends, and is successful, so we wanted to try something similar with the April event this year. Our trail is growing, and so are our events!"
"Taste of the Trail" will feature about half of the member wineries to the east and north sides of the trail during the first weekend, and the Lockport- and Cambria-area wineries during the second weekend. Attendees can purchase tickets for just one of the weekends for $20 in advance, or both weekends at a discounted rate of $35 in advance.
More information and the complete 2014 schedule may be found on the Niagara Wine Trail's website: http://niagarawinetrail.org/pages/events2014.html.

NetWellness receives many questions about Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). In the few days before each menstrual period many women experience what is commonly called PMS. This can include a number of different physical and emotional symptoms. Some women experience PMS symptoms every month while others experience a great deal of variation from period to period.
Symptoms commonly associated with PMS include:
Most women will agree that having some or even all of these symptoms are normal. Usually taking over the counter pain medication, getting plenty of rest, exercising, drinking enough water, eating well, and of course starting your period will lessen and eventually stop these symptoms until the next month.
For some women, the symptoms of PMS can be severe and debilitating. These more extreme symptoms are called premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
PMDD is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome with symptoms including:
A number of women with severe PMS may have an underlying mental health disorder.
Talk to your doctor - If you suspect your symptoms are more severe than average PMS and you think you may be suffering from PMDD consult your healthcare provider.
Keep track of your period and symptoms - Track your symptoms along with when your period occurs on a calendar to establish whether or not your symptoms are part of your normal cycle.. This way you can give some helpful background information to you healthcare provider at your visit.
Treatments for PMDD
There are some treatments for PMS and PMDD that can be prescribed by a healthcare provider. These include:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) - Taken before or at the onset of your period, NSAIDs such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) or naproxen sodium (Aleve) can ease cramping and breast discomfort.
Oral contraceptives - These stop ovulation and stabilize hormonal swings, thereby offering relief from PMS symptoms.
Antidepressants - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which include fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem), paroxetine (Paxil) and sertraline (Zoloft), have been successful in reducing symptoms such as fatigue, food cravings and sleep problems. These drugs are generally taken daily. But for some women with PMS, use of antidepressants may be limited to the two weeks before menstruation begins.
Medroxyprogesterone acetate (Depo-Provera) - For severe PMS or PMDD, this injection can be used to temporarily stop ovulation. However, Depo-Provera may cause an increase in some signs and symptoms of PMS, such as increased appetite, weight gain, headache and depressed mood.
The success of these different medications varies from woman to woman but can be very helpful in lessening symptoms. Talk more with your healthcare provider to determine what the right treatment for you is.

Description: Utility knives are great general purpose tasks around the kitchen. The 5 1/2 - 6 1/2 inch slender blade makes it very useful and versatile from slicing fruit to chopping garlic.
Kasumi knives are forged in Seki Japan, an area with over 800 years of smithing history. The blade is formed by forging folded layers of soft stainless steel (called a Jigane) around a central core formed from VG10 stainless steel. The central core is tempered to 59 - 60 Rc. This results in an exceptionally keen, long-lasting edge.
The blade is forged quite thin so as to have little or no resistance when cutting through food. Following in the best tradition of knife making, a steel ferrule is forge-welded to the tang to ensure that food particles cannot become lodged between the tang and the handle. Wooden handles are formed from resin impregnated hardwood. These hold up exceptionally well in a demanding kitchen environment.
Availability: In stock. Usually ships in 1-2 business days

On worship
He demands our worship, our obedience, our prostration. Do we suppose that they can do Him any good, or fear, like the chorus in Milton, that human irreverence can bring about "His glory's diminution"? A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word "darkness" on the walls of his cell. But God wills our good, and our good is to love Him (with that responsive love proper to creatures) and to love Him we must know Him: and if we know Him, we shall in fact fall on our faces. If we do not, that only shows that what we are trying to love is not yet God—though it may be the nearest approximation to God which our thought and fantasy can attain.

Wanted fugitive arrested by U.S. Marshals in Manchester
May 20. 2013 5:49PM
CONCORD — "Fugitive of the Week" Mario Camacho, 25, of Manchester, was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force Monday afternoon in the 300 block of Keller Street in Manchester.
Camacho was wanted by the New Hampshire Parole Board on an outstanding arrest warrant for parole violations stemming from his original conviction and sentence for the possession and sale of narcotics.
As part of this investigation, Camacho was aired as part of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force's weekly feature known as the "Fugitive of the Week" on May 16. The "Fugitive of the Week" is broadcast on WTPL-FM, WMUR-TV, and featured in the New Hampshire Union Leader, the Nashua Telegraph and is prominently featured on the Internet.
The "Fugitive of the Week" program often leads to numerous tips on the location of many fugitives. In this case, a tip from the public and the perseverance of investigators led to the location and the ultimate arrest of Camacho by authorities.
"Once again, the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force got their man," U.S. Marshal David Cargill, Jr. said. "The men and women of the fugitive task force work diligently to bring these highlighted fugitives, along with many others to justice in an expedient and safe manner."
This arrest by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force included participants from the Rockingham County, Belknap County and Hillsborough County sheriff's offices, the Greenfield and Manchester police departments and Deputy U.S. Marshals.
Since the inception of the New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force in 2002, these partnerships have resulted in over 5,370 arrests.

Consensus Report
Water Resources Planning for the Upper Mississippi River and Illinois Waterway (2005)Water Science and Technology Board
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently completed its feasibility study for the Upper Mississippi River-Ilinois Waterway, which was one of the agency's longest and most complicated studies in its history. The first two reports from this WSTB committee reviewed analytical aspects of the Corps feasibility study. This report considered the broader issue of managing the multiple resources of the Upper Mississippi River and Illinois Waterway, especially with regard to several, recently-issued NRC reports on Corps of Engineers planning procedures. The report finds that a key issue regarding planning decisions on these river systems is the ambiguity related to several different pieces of legislation and acts that govern river management, and thus recommends that the administration and Congress clarify the federal intent for managing this river and waterway system. The report recommends an independent, retrospective reivew of the experience with a federal inter-agency Principals Group, which was convened to provide guidance to the Corps study. It is also recommended that the Corps strive to incorporate flexible, adaptive management principles through its entire water planning program, including operations of the lock and dam system.
Key Messages
- Even the valuation of some ecosystem restoration benefits will improve the quality of decision making for these projects. In many cases valuation of the most obvious benefits will be sufficient to demonstrate feasibility. In other cases even incomplete valuation may allow for a credible comparison of the remaining nonmonetary benefits against net monetary costs.
- The current state of ecosystem science and economic analysis clearly supports valuation of the benefits of ecosystem restoration. In some cases the valuation of these benefits can be as complete as with the benefits derived in more traditional projects, such as flood control and navigation projects.

A Vatican decree on May 2 established new norms for Caritas Internationalis, giving Vatican offices greater authority over the work of the umbrella group of 162 Catholic aid agencies around the world. The decision comes after the Vatican last year vetoed the re-election of the organization's then-secretary general, Lesley-Anne Knight, complaining of a lack of coordination with Vatican officials. The organization is now under the supervision of the Pontifical Council, Cor Unum, which oversees the church's charitable activities, and three members of its board will be papal appointees. Top officials of Caritas Internationalis will be required to pronounce loyalty oaths before the president of Cor Unum; its statements—particularly "any text with doctrinal or moral content or orientations"—and activities will have to be authorized in advance by the Vatican, except in "grave humanitarian emergencies." Cor Unum will also appoint an ecclesiastical assistant to promote C.I.'s "Catholic identity," and the Vatican's Secretariat of State will supervise the confederation's contacts with foreign governments.

December graduate Anita Middleton of O'Fallon, Ill., will travel to Russia on a Fulbright Scholarship to be an English teaching assistant. During her trip she also plans to volunteer in a child care center or an orphanage. She leaves for Russia in September.
"I'm definitely appreciative to get this scholarship," Middleton said. "This is going to help me with my studies and my future as well."
Middleton is the ninth student Fulbright scholar named in 2011 — becoming the highest number of Fulbright awards named in a year at UNL. The feat is particularly noteworthy because of the increased number of national applications, meaning more competition, fellowship adviser Laura Damuth said. Applications nationally were up 40 percent.
Middleton graduated with a major in Russian and minors in Czech and international studies. She has already had the chance to practice her Russian among native speakers. The spring semester of her junior year, she took Russian language courses at Moscow International University.
"I definitely learned way more Russian just being there for a semester than living in the U.S. for two years," she said. "Being there in Moscow that semester boosted my Russian vocabulary and my skills in the Russian language." She also spent the following summer studying Czech at Charles University in Prague.
Middleton started studying Russian when she was a freshman at UNL. She said she didn't know what to study but she enjoyed learning languages, so she tried Russian.
"I figured it would be a good path to take, since I didn't really know what I was interested in that time," she said. Now, she has developed a passion for the Russian language and culture.
"I just like Russian because it's a different language, it's not the same as French or Spanish but it's not as different as Chinese or Arabic; it still has it similarities to English," she said.
Readjusting to the culture will be the most difficult and the most rewarding part of her Fulbright experience, Middleton said: "It's a very different culture. It's particularly interesting to me because it's somewhat of a European country but it's not like Europe at all."
One of the biggest cultural differences, Middleton said, is the fewer amenities in Russia compared to the United States.
"I would say the average American lives very comfortably compared to the average Russian," she said. "Things we don't really think of in America — restaurants, shopping malls, having a car — are considered luxury items in a sense." But she is looking forward to meeting new people. "Once you get to know Russians they're pretty warm and inviting," she said.
Middleton is excited to have the opportunity to speak Russian on a daily basis and to be immersed in the language for an extended amount of time. She will use her Fulbright experience to sort out her long-term career plans — helping her decide if she wants to pursue a career in teaching, government or something else.
Radha Balasubramanian, associate professor and vice chair of modern languages and literatures, said the Fulbright experience will give Middleton the skills and confidence she needs to work in the field of her choosing.
"I expect her to bloom with confidence after this and either become a great teacher or get into government and analyze and interpret stuff," Balasubramanian said. "She is always interested in the world and has an open mind about absorbing the best from other cultures. She will use this to benefit her."
The Fulbright Program, established in 1946 and funded by the U.S. Department of State, is designed to foster understanding between the United States and other countries. The U.S. Student Fulbright program gives recent graduates, graduate students and young professionals the opportunity to conduct research, study or teach in one of the 155 countries that the program operates. The Fulbright program is the flagship international education program sponsored by the U.S. government. About 8,000 grants are awarded annually, and about 1,600 of those grants are awarded to U.S. students.

The news is a snooze
The decline of the newspaper business cannot be denied. The subject is old news. Hard publications desperate to survive have joined the throngs and started publishing on the Internet, dragging their sponsors with them.
When I speak about "throngs," I'm talking about the thousands of new sources for alleged "news" that are available since the advent of the World Wide Web. And what a web it is.
Many of the new publications on the Web attract nutcases and conspiracy theorists by the dozens because the Internet makes their messages available. As ironic as it may be, many more nutcases out there in the netherworld want to hear their rants.
Sadly, people believe that it must be true if they "read about it on the Net."
It's easy to join the fray of news sources with a blog. Some of the most widely read blogs cost close to nothing to create and can be produced in a matter of minutes.
Many of the blogs are electronic tabloids that steal from other publications and claim the content as their own. The Internet is a fundamentally unregulated "Wild West" show that allows participants to publish nearly anything they want with impunity.
I am, however, disappointed in the performance of the mainstream media. One would think they would bring some credibility to the Internet by publishing quality news designed to elevate the consciousness of their readers.
Unfortunately, they joined the lowest common denominator and demonstrated their collective ability to be the best at sensationalizing the most mundane, inane non-events with imagination and aplomb.
For instance, the world is suffering from economic meltdown, wars are in the making in every political hotspot on the planet, and the effects of social and cultural imbalance and unrest are destabilizing governments everywhere.
One would think that these conditions would provide adequate inspiration for news that would keep people informed about events that could affect their daily lives and well-being. But, no — that is not the case.
Some headlines and stories that were most popular this week were:
"Guinness picks world's longest nose," Guinness being the world record people. That story listed more than 172,000 hits on Google and was a major article in at least 180 Internet publications.
The Daily Finance, a respected online financial news publication, used "Banker – or Reptile?" as the headline for its lead article.
It actually posted pictures of lizards and other reptiles next to photographs of financial leaders to compare the similarities of their facial features.
I must remember that most news sources are businesses, and giving readers what they want is paramount to success.
That makes the importance of the following headline and article easier to accept.
"Karl Rove says Christine O'Donnell needs to explain witchcraft 'dabbling' to voters"
Christine O'Donnell, endorsed by the Tea Party movement, defeated the Republican candidate, nine-term U.S. Representative and former Delaware Governor Mike Castle, in the 2010 Republican primary.
Even O'Donnell was surprised by her success. Nonetheless, when these things happen, all negatives from a candidate's past seem to have a way of surfacing faster than a methane gas bubble from beneath the ocean floor.
Her victory is a clear example of the quality of some candidates supported by the Tea Party movement. What is more frightening is that her supporters did not seem to mind that she was involved in activities like witchcraft.
The subject made hot news, and even hotter debate on both sides of the issue.
The content of the news that people want to read is a huge part of our system that I do not believe I will ever understand.

I'm not sure if this was brought up in any previous discussions but I thought that I would see what other people's experiences were.
I recently sent an e-mail to a woman expressing interest and she just replied "Had me till I read you didn't want any kids".
This really sucks!
I'm 30 and most women in the 25 to 35 year old age range either have kids or want them at some point.

I believe there is a child-free dating site, but I could be wrong.
I tried the child-free dating web sites and I think I'll have more of a chance with a Plentyoffish type site just because it's mainstream.
Thanks for the suggestion
It's really weird, non-child bearing is one of the strongest remaining stigmas in my life. I find it even more weird when so many people hold philosophies such as:
"We're not like other animals, we don't have to fight, or rape or pee anywhere, or respond to our animal instincts"... we're so HUMAN, we are brains before brauns, bla bla bla
The people who most say that are the ones who are the most inclined to procreate, so much for not following their "base animal instincts".
As truly brainiac beings, people should see the need (planetary) to drastically reduce human breeding.
Dating is horrible for us non-procreators. I think there are more anti-no-procreation people out there than there are anti-atheists or homophobes!
Procreation is seen like modern neo-liberalism, a given that "how dare we should critisize", sigh.
I've given up on dating, and breeders are one of the reasons.
I agree. Stop having kids! We don't need anymore.
I recall an email forward from someone in my family that called for xians to have more babies, because they aren't having enough. If they don't get on it, the Mexicans and the Muslims will outnumber them. I'm not making this up. I'm going to look for the video now.
I'm still fairly new to this forum, and to this group. But I have been reading the posts on this group and I hear many stories of people having their childfree existence challenged, stigmatized.
I know that this is true because I've experienced it myself, and becasue it has been an undercurrent in so much of my life.
I agree with what TNT666 is saying, that we should be able to decide what we do. We are different from animals.
I also agree that dating is a no win situation. Its a consumer consumption ritual. So its intended as a preliminary step in the direction of filling such a role.
So if we have opted out, then dating is never going to be a good move.
So we have to invent some other kind of a script.
For myself, I'm not right now so concerned with not having kids. That is a given for me. Rather, my primary concern is that I want to attack the family system.
In general though I feel that those who do not want to have kids would do well if they looked further and found a more radical position. I mean, why be relegated to a socially defensive position, a second class position. Figure some way to take a militant offensive position.
Thought not completely related, my interest is in finding allies and attacking the family system.
But in the broader sense, I do not identify with the lives of people who have children. I never have.
The only justification, in our nuclear homes style society, for a "monogamous" father figure, is to provide resource stability for the pre-pubescent years of youth. And even given those conditions, a majority of men can't handle it.
I have zero expectations from monogamy, other than sheer luck and ridiculously hard work as well as tolerance of the utmost horrors. We will all be much happier people when we forget about life long monogamy :)

Citrine is a variety of quartz named for its sunny citrusy color. Most commercial citrine on the market is heat treated amethyst (also a type of quartz). Natural citrine is lighter in color than the heat treated stones and is rather rare. Although its name inspires thoughts of tropical sun filled days, take care to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, as sunlight can discolor your stone. Citrine has a more redish- orange hue than its citrusy cousin, lemon quartz. Citrine is one of November's birthstones.

SAN DIEGO — The man who was the original voice of Charlie Brown in "Peanuts" television specials has been sentenced to a year in jail for stalking a former girlfriend and threatening her plastic surgeon. But he was immediately released to a residential drug treatment center to complete his sentence.
The 56-year-old Robbins has already been in jail for four months. Superior Court Judge Dwayne Morning said Wednesday that he could spend the next eight months in treatment, but if he violates his probation he could spend four years in prison.
Borrowing a line from Charlie Brown's friend Lucy, the judge told Robbins, "Don't be a blockhead."
Robbins also received five years' probation and was ordered to pay $15,000 in restitution to the plastic surgeon.

Missouri revenues have increased by 9.5 percent during the state's current budget year.
Figures released Monday by the Office of Administration show net general collections totaled $4.54 billion since July, compared to $4.15 billion during the same period last year. The 2013 budget started July 1 and continues through the end of June.
Collections from individual income taxes are up 6.1 percent compared with last year, while sales taxes are up 2.4 percent. Tax refunds are down 28.5 percent.
Budget Director Linda Luebbering (LOO'-buh-ring) says individual income tax collections have been strong.
She says delays by the federal government contributed to reduced state tax refunds in January, and she expects another lag in tax refunds in February.

Steelers select Georgia LB Jones with 17th pick
PITTSBURGH (AP) — When Jarvis Jones slogged through the 40-yard dash in a pedestrian 4.9 seconds during Georgia's Pro Day, a red flag went up to NFL scouts.
Just not the scouts that work for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Where some saw a problem, the Steelers saw an opportunity. General manager Kevin Colbert didn't need his stopwatch to know the All-American linebacker can play.
And when Jones remained on the board when the Steelers took their turn in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night, Colbert didn't hesitate to grab the player he believes is the next great linebacker at a franchise that churns them out with regularity.
"When he ran that 4.9, we were happy," Colbert said. "We knew we had a chance."
The Steelers most certainly had a need after cutting 2008 Defensive Player of the Year James Harrison in a salary cap move last month. The 23-year-old Jones understands he can't replace one of the most intimidating players in the game, but that doesn't mean it would hurt to try.
"I think we both play relentless," Jones said. "You can tell we're both passionate. We're ballhawks. We're impact players. I mean we make plays when they need to be made."
Jones made plenty of them in two years at Georgia after transferring over from USC. He racked up 28 sacks with the Bulldogs, tied for the third-highest career total in school history. He also registered 45.5 tackles for loss and caused nine fumbles.
"He can run, he can chase the ball," Colbert said. "Most importantly, he can get after the passer."
Pittsburgh's defense could use a little snarl. Though the Steelers finished with the league's top-ranked defense in 2012, they only registered 37 sacks — tied for 15th — and forced just 20 turnovers. The inability to put consistent pressure on the quarterback was a major problem, one Jones will try to help solve.
"I just want to come in and play," Jones said. "They need an outside linebacker and I (am) just so happy to be a part of this organization. They've always been known for their defense, and that's something that I take pride in."
Though Jones is a dozen years younger than Harrison, he does come in with his own health concerns. He was diagnosed with spinal stenosis — a narrowing of the spinal column — during his freshman year at USC but insists it will not be an issue going forward.
"All that (is) over with," he said.
Colbert spoke at length about the small number of impact players in the draft but feels Jones is among that group. Jones was "off the charts" during his interview with the Steelers and though he's a rookie, coach Mike Tomlin believes Jones' nomadic college career and medical scare has given him a veteran's perspective on the game.
"He's been to the West Coast and back and he's dealt with an injury that could've potentially put his career in question," Tomlin said. "He's been through a lot."
Jones will certainly get an opportunity to make the move from rookie to veteran quickly. Harrison's departure leaves Jason Worilds as the only proven right outside linebacker on the roster. Worilds has 10 sacks in three seasons but has yet to prove he can produce on a consistent basis.
That was never a problem for Jones, who collected 14.5 sacks last fall at Georgia to set a new school record for sacks in a single season. He seemed to get better as the year went on, finishing his college career with eight tackles, two sacks and a pass breakup in a 45-31 win over Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl.
Coming off an 8-8 season, the Steelers have plenty of holes to fill. While there is a pressing need at running back, wide receiver and tight end, they opted to go for a player who they hope can wreak havoc in offensive backfields for the next decade.
"He plays with a certain disposition that we value, a certain demeanor that we value," Tomlin said. "Whether he's making a tackle or confronting a block, he does it in a manner that we appreciate. He'll fit in great with our group."

Meet our 2013 Ultimate Fan Fantasy winners: 15-year-old Frank Ranfone of Guilford, Conn., and 17-year-old Cameron MacKenzie of St. Charles, Ill.
Frank and Cameron were selected from a group of 20 UFF finalists who were asked to submit a creative statement, picture, or video explaining why they should be chosen as the Ultimate MLL Fan. As winners, Frank and Cameron are honorary team captains, and will have the chance to select their very own All-Star squads. The pair will lead their teams on to the field at the start of Saturday night's game and have direct access to meet and learn from the players throughout the weekend.
Frank Ranfone is proud to be a self-proclaimed lacrosse addict, "I eat, sleep, and breathe lacrosse." Frank has been playing lacrosse for as long as he can remember. After putting down a baseball bat in third grade, he picked up a stick and never looked back. A few years ago, Frank attended his first MLL game while at a lacrosse tournament on Long Island. After seeing the Lizards play, Frank couldn't get enough of the fast paced action and impressive 2-point shots. The love and dedication the players had for their sport made Major League Lacrosse the only thing Frank could think about.
Frank plays lacrosse for the Guilford Indians and Connecticut Seminoles. His favorite MLL team is the Charlotte Hounds, he even predicted a Hounds vs. Bayhawks Championship Weekend showdown. In the rare moments when Frank isn't playing lacrosse or cheering on the Hounds, he enjoys spending time with his friends, family, and his dog Dash.
Cameron first started playing lacrosse when he was in seventh grade and has been playing ever since, "from the first time I got a stick in my hand, I was hooked." Cameron first started following the MLL because he realized that through watching high level lacrosse games, he could learn how the game was supposed to be played and improve on his own skill set. Cameron hopes that he can continue to learn from his favorite MLL players at the All-Star game, "just being on the sidelines to see the best lacrosse players participate will encourage me to continue working hard on my game."
Cameron, a rising high school senior, plays for the varsity team for St. Charles North High School as well as the New Wave club team. When Cameron isn't playing lacrosse he is watching the MLL. His favorite team is the New York Lizards. In his spare time Cameron also coaches boys' lacrosse and enjoys playing on his school's football team.
While Cameron and Frank are very happy to speak about their excitement for lacrosse and the MLL, both captains are tight lipped regarding their strategies about drafting their All-Star teams. Cameron focused on determining which players will work well together to build the best team possible. Frank prepared by creating tables for every player, detailing important statistical information about his top player picks.
Best of luck to Cameron and Frank this weekend at the All-Star Game! Here is a little more information on our captains:
Who are your top three All-Star picks?
Again, I don't want to give away my strategy but I can say that some of my favorite offensive stars include Rob Pannell, Chris Bocklet, Kevin Crowley, and Illinois native Steven Brooks.
Who is your favorite MLL team and player?
The New York Lizards have been a favorite team of mine and I was really excited when they picked up Pannell because he was so exciting to watch at Cornell.
Tell us your Championship Weekend predictions.
Denver has to be considered a favorite with the great start they've had and Chesapeake as last year's winner will probably make it back. I think Boston will have a strong 2
ndhalf and I'm hoping New York can find a way to make it too.
Describe your perfect burrito.
Definitely chicken, lots of cheese and sour cream, black beans, rice and onions.
Favorite color?
What is your favorite summer activity?
Fishing and tubing
Favorite movie?
The Other Guys
Curly fries vs waffle fries?
Curly fries with cheese
Who are your top three All-Star picks?
My top 3 all star picks (gotta go with one from each position) attack-Chris Bocklet or Ryan Young, midfield- Peet Poillon, defense- Kyle Hartzell. All great team leaders and terrific on the field.
Who is your favorite MLL team and player?
Favorite MLL team is the Charlotte Hounds. Favorite player- Stephen Berger and in a close second Peet Poillon.
Tell us your Championship Weekend predictions.
Championship Weekend final 4 teams: Denver, Chesapeake, Hamilton, and Charlotte. In the final I have Bayhawks vs. Hounds.
Describe your perfect burrito.
I don't like to pick favorites when it comes to food.
Favorite color?
Green with a close second of orange or blue
What is your favorite summer activity?

Citation Metrics
Understanding and Finding Citation Metrics (June 2008)
Citation metrics are statistics gathered on the number of times an article has been cited by other articles. There are several databases that gather these statistics, and they are described in more detail below. These statistics are gathered for two main purposes, to assess the quality of a researcher or to assess the quality of a journal.
For example, one might look at the citation count for a particular researcher (which would be the grand total of all the times that researcher's articles have been cited in other articles). This metric might be used to compare and judge the quality of that researcher's work and productivity with other researchers. The assumption is that researchers with high citation counts are writing articles that describe significant research (therefore this research is likely to be cited frequently by other authors), and/or the researcher is highly productive because they are publishing many articles for other researchers to cite. There are also more complex metrics used to evaluate the quality of an individual's research, such as the h-Index and the g-Index. Both of these indices involve more complicated calculations of citation counts in an attempt to provide a more accurate evaluation of quality and output. More information about these indices is available here:
As mentioned above, citation metrics are also used to assess the quality of a journal. A journal's impact factor is basically a measure of the number of times that articles published in that journal are cited, but is calculated with a bit more complexity than that; it measures the "ratio between citations and recent citable items published "and "is calculated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years." The assumption is that if a journal is cited frequently, it must be publishing important, high-quality, or ground-breaking research. For these reasons, it is more prestigious for researchers to publish in journals with a high impact factor. The company Thomson Scientific (a.k.a. Institute for Scientific Information, or ISI) developed this measurement, and more information is available here:
These metrics are important because the number of times a researcher's work has been cited, and the impact factor of the journals that a researcher publishes in, are often used to evaluate that researcher's merits for applications for academic positions, tenure review, or promotions.
Finding Citation Metrics for an Individual
Two subscription-based indexes, Web of Science and Scopus, are notable for tracking article citations. The AMNH Library does not subscribe to either of these indexes, but they are often available at university libraries, and some coverage of Web of Science is available at New York Public Library (see http://www.nypl.org/databases/index.cfm?act=3&id=896). Features of these two indexes, as well as Google Scholar, are described below. Google Scholar is free to use and available here: http://scholar.google.com.
Web of Scienceoffers two ways to obtain citation counts for a researcher. One way is to conduct an author search on a researcher (it is useful to first use the author index to choose all name variants) and then once the search has been conducted, click on the link to "Create Citation Report." This report includes a sum of the times the researcher's articles have been cited, as well as a more detailed analysis, including graphs and a calculation of the researcher's h-Index. However, take note of the announcement at the top of the report:
"This report reflects citations to source items indexed within Web of Science. Perform a Cited Reference Search to include citations to items not indexed within Web of Science."
So, this report only includes data compiled from those publications that Web of Science formally indexes, which excludes books, grey literature, journals outside the subject scope of the Web of Science indexing policy, etc. It is useful to note, for example, that the Museum's in-house publication, American Museum Novitates, only began being indexed in Web of Science in 2004, so a citation report would exclude citation analysis of articles published in the Novitates before 2004.
For a more complete picture of a researcher's citation counts, a Cited Reference Search should be conducted. Choose the tab for conducting a Cited Reference Search and enter the researcher's name in the search box to conduct an author search. Again, it is useful to use the author thesaurus to search for name variants. This search will result in a more thorough list of that researcher's works, and the numbers listed in the column entitled "Citing Articles" can be added together to produce a more accurate number of citation counts. Unfortunately such a search will not provide a citation report that includes any analysis of results, such as the h-Index.
Scopusalso tracks citations, but with shorter coverage; indexing for journals in the database only goes back to 1996 (for Web of Science indexing for some journals goes back as far as 1900). To check a researcher's citation check, simply click the tab to conduct an author search, or perform a regular search entering the author's name and then selecting "authors" from the drop-down list to designate the appropriate field to search in. Either way, the next step is to select the results to be analyzed, and then click the "Citation Tracker" button. In Scopus it is not necessary to try to collect all variants of a researcher's name, as this database provides an author identifier feature, described as follows:
"Scopus Author Identifier uses an algorithm that matches author names based on their affiliation, address, subject area, source title, dates of publication citations, and co-authors. When you search, this feature returns documents written by that author, even when an author is cited differently."
Like the "Citation Report" in Web of Science, the "Citation Tracker" in Scopus provides a total sum of citation counts as well as the h-Index and additional analysis, but only for those publications that are formally indexed in Scopus. There is no way to see additional citation counts for non-indexed publications as is possible when using the Cited Reference Search in Web of Science.
Google Scholardoes not provide citation analysis tools like the two indexes described above. However, it is free. When searching for a researcher, each resulting citation provides a count of papers that article is "Cited by." To find as many articles as possible in order to add up these citation counts, it is important to thoroughly search on variants of the researcher's name. A good start is to try a phrase search using initials both before and after the surname, as in this search: "Smith MJ" OR "MJ Smith" - but it is not a bad idea to try other variants, being careful to omit from the citation count those articles that are by another author with a similar name.
Finding a Journal's Impact Factor
The traditional source for finding a journal's impact factor is Journal Citation Reports, or JCR, another product of Thomson Scientific and available by subscription only. The AMNH Library does not subscribe to JCR. However, it is usually available from university libraries and can also be accessed from New York Public Library through their Web of Science subscription. To search this resource, simply type in the name of the journal title, and a report with the impact factor will be presented (assuming a matching title is found). It is also possible to look at a list of journal titles by subject area in order to quickly compare their impact factor rankings. For more information about Journal Citation Reports, and journal impact factors, take a look at these sites:
An alternative resource for determining a journal's importance is Eigenfactor.org available at http://www.eigenfactor.org/index.php. This free resource provides two scores for a journal: "Article Influence (AI): a measure of a journal's prestige based on per article citations and comparable to Impact Factor" and "Eigenfactor (EF): A measure of the overall value provided by all of the articles published in a given journal in a year." For more information about how scores are calculated and how Eigenfactor was developed, take a look at the Eigenfactor website (provided above) and this article: "Eigenfactor: Measuring the value and prestige of scholarly journals".
Controversy Over the Use of Citation Metrics
The use of citation metrics is controversial for a number of reasons. For one, it is difficult to obtain accurate metrics on a particular researcher because the scope and coverage of databases like Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar is not exhaustive. The indexing for these databases may not go back very far in time, nor are they comprehensive in the publications they index; therefore, results will vary. Also, researchers who have changed their name, or have been inconsistent with the use of their initials in the byline of their published works, or who simply have a name that is common, will be more difficult to analyze. (The Author Identifier developed by Scopus helps to eliminate this problem.)
Furthermore, the validity of citation metrics as a measure of worth has been criticized on a number of fronts. One controversy is that a researcher might be frequently cited because their research is contentious, not because it is high quality, useful research. Also, the use of citation metrics as an evaluation tool penalizes those researchers who have long-term projects that result in few publications, even though such long-term studies might be very important. Furthermore, comparing citation metrics of researchers across disciplines might be ill-advised since research and publication patterns vary by discipline. These are just a few issues that have been identified as potential problems.

NH diver hopes to display objects found off Granite State coastBy SUSAN CLARK
Union Leader Correspondent
February 09. 2014 9:44PM
BEDFORD -- RAY DEMERS and his son, John, were diving for sea scallops in New Castle when they came across silty mud. Ray stuck his hand in the muck and pulled out an object — an onion bottle dating back to 1723.
The two scuba divers had discovered debris from sunken ships that began their lifelong journey of researching the fate of the ships, and the objects that had been untouched for nearly 250 years.
"When I saw the bottle, I said, 'Holy smoke, this is unbelievable.' I put my hand in and I was plucking out hundreds of bottles," said Ray Demers.
Demers started diving in 1961; his son's first dive was at the age of 12. After 40 years of diving and collecting their sunken treasure, Demers, 73, and John, 53, of Merrimack, are hoping to bring the collection to the public. It's a project in the works with the New Hampshire Division of Natural Resources. The specimens have been cataloged, photographed and authenticated by professionals, and all documented in a manuscript written by Demers and his son. Authentication, Demers said, was the first priority.
The men worked on three sites at one time, including specimens from an English naval ship and two privateers, which are privately owned warships sanctioned by the governor to fight off shore.
The onion bottle's seal was the link to discovering the owner of the privateer, Capt. George Jackson, an Indian fighter and son-in-law to one of the first settlers along the Piscataqua River in Maine, Col. William Pepperell.
The seal was stamped with the name W. Darracott 1723 and was among other items found at the site, including a shipment of Devonshire Sgrafitto pottery and two cannons — all providing clues that revealed the origin of the privateer and its journey from England to the West Indies to North Carolina and New Hampshire.
"The bottle seal came first. It was a wedding date on Oct. 5, 1723, and the married couple were headed to the Barbary Coast on a diplomatic mission. The wine bottles were handed out to guests to commemorate the wedding and voyage," Demers said. "There was also a shipment of yellow Sgrafitto ware, painted with birds and flowers."
As Demers shows off his collection, his eyes light up.
"I have the oldest bottles discovered in this historic area," Demers said. "There's a tremendous amount of history in these waters."
The father and son also found hundreds of earthenware, pipes, bottles, mugs, cannon balls, animal bones, leather shoes, pewter ware, jars, a ship's knee and lower deadeye, a nautical divider and wooden bombs.
One of the bombs is kept in a bucket of water. Demers dons gloves and gingerly displays the 10-inch by 3-inch object — a rectangular bottom section, which had been carved centuries ago to hold flint, gunpowder and fragments of glass. The bomb was then covered with a wooden top and tied with wire or rawhide.
"They could shoot it out of a cannon or throw it, and it explodes. Have you ever seen pictures of seamen with eye patches or wooden legs?" he said.
One of the ships was the 20-gun HMS Astrea that burned in Portsmouth Harbor in 1744. The ship was of Spanish origin but had been defeated by the British in Porto Bello in Panama in 1739.
"The English Navy retained the Spanish name Astrae, but adopted a slight variation so it's pronounceable," he said. "In Greek mythology, the name means star maiden and the English translation is a daughter of Zeus and Themes."
Through research, Demers found that the HMS Astrea had been anchored somewhere in Portsmouth Harbor. The condition of the ship's lower deadeye gave him clues about the fire and the ship's demise.
"That's what I needed to identify the ship. The diameter of each hole tells me the size of the rope and then it tells me the size of the ship," he said. "I was trying to locate where the fire started, and because it's charred on one side it tells me the fire started in a kiln on the galley. The fire burned the rope first and the deadeye would have fallen over."
The men also found two 7-foot, 2,100-pound cannons that were discovered after Demers lost his scuba tanks. The cannons had been towed ashore by other divers, and had been encrusted through an electrolysis between the sand and metal, he said.
"We don't touch cannons because once you break the seal, the cannon crumbles," he said.
Demers and his wife of 54 years, Nancy, also have two daughters, Paula Gagne and Diane Denoncourt, both of Manchester. Nancy, a former St. Anselm College nursing instructor, was awarded three grants and traveled to Fortaleza, Brazil, with the Partners of the Americas in 1996-98, to set up an AIDS prevention program.
For her efforts, she received an award at the International Convention of the Partners of the Americas, and was recognized by then-Gov. Jeanne Shaheen. With her husband and friends, she has traveled to 25 countries.

Dashing hopes: Here comes the fiscal cliffEDITORIAL
December 27. 2012 11:34PM
Here we are just a few days away from the new year, or as it is known in Washington this year, the "fiscal cliff." If a deal is not struck before Monday night, $500 billion worth of tax hikes and spending cuts (mostly tax hikes) will go into effect. What have the good folks we elected to manage our national affairs been doing lately to avoid that economically harmful scenario? Nothing.
President Obama flew to Hawaii and went golfing. On Thursday, it was reported that he had spoken to neither House Speaker John Boehner nor Sen. Harry Reid for days. Boehner tried to pass a deal that would make true on Obama's pledge to raise taxes on "millionaires and billionaires. It would have kept the Bush-era tax rates for everyone who earns less than $1 million a year. But some Republicans thought that was too big a pill to swallow.
Harry Reid returned time and time again to the microphones to blame everything on Republicans. Never mind that he sent only one bill designed to embarrass them to the evil House Republicans to vote on.
Americans head into this weekend with hopes for a real economic recovery in the new year. Washington politicians enter it hoping to blame the other side for the inaction that prevents or delays that real recovery. Happy New Year.

"Last year's drought in various parts of the country is a vivid reminder why producers should use risk management tools such as crop insurance," said Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman. "This year's closing date is fast approaching, and we encourage interested farmers and ranchers to take advantage of these important resources."
To mitigate concerns about drought coverage, the Risk Management Agency (RMA) encourages producers to buy higher levels of crop insurance in 2003. "Many producers have better prevented planting coverage during drought than they realize," said RMA Administrator Ross J. Davidson, Jr. "Crop insurance protection is a vital part of producers' risk management strategy."
Throughout the year, particularly in the months preceding the annual closing date for crop insurance, RMA conducts outreach meetings and provides educational resources and information to producers regarding crop insurance and the various risk management tools available through USDA programs and services.
Information regarding current coverage on prevented planting, agent locator assistance, as well as a list of the states and crops with a March 17 deadline can be found at: http://www.rma.usda.gov/.
Information is also available at local Farm Service Agency offices. Producers should contact their agent to purchase insurance before the March 17 deadline.
The Agriculture Department has been examining various ways to strengthen crop insurance and risk management resources available to producers.
Last month, Veneman announced an initiative to examine expanding crop insurance for other sectors, including forage and range coverage; addressing concerns with coverage in regions facing multiyear droughts; simplifying and improving the effectiveness of various insurance products; and reviewing various RMA authorities to ensure the soundness of delivery systems and effective oversight of the insurance industry.

Project Description
This project aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of a CO2 utilization process for producing carbon monoxide and a variety of other useful products based on reduction of CO2 using abundant low-value carbon sources such as petcoke, sub-bituminous coal, lignite, and biomass. The chemical process is based on the reverse Boudouard reaction, in which carbon (C) reduces CO2 to produce carbon monoxide (CO). The reduced product (CO) can then be used to create other chemicals. A preliminary techno-economic analysis for the process showed that it had a promising rate of return on investment. The project also included an investigation of direct chemical production using CO2; specifically, the potential for producing ethylene and dry reforming of methane. Several catalysts developed and optimized in this project demonstrated production of ethylene at temperatures between 800°C and 900°C. For dry reforming, a catalyst formulation developed on this project demonstrated reactivity at temperatures between 500°C and 600°C. These results show that with suitable catalysts, CO2 utilization can be used to produce many of the large volume commodity chemicals currently manufactured.
Project Benefits
Development of the proposed technology supports NETL's Carbon Storage Program goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by utilizing CO2 to produce useful products. The proposed technology provides fossil fuel-based power plants an alternative means for mitigating their GHG emissions. Additionally, if fully utilized, the technology could help increase U.S. energy security and independence.

How the Wheels Came Off for Fisker
Untested Electric-Car Firm Was Ripe for the Times; U.S. Loans Saddled It With Factory Never Used
For a few months in 2012, Bruce Simon, the chief executive of gourmet food retailer Omaha Steaks International Inc., drove a $100,000 plug-in hybrid electric car known as the Fisker Karma. No longer.
Mr. Simon says his car broke down four times over the span of a few months. Each time, Fisker Automotive Inc. picked it up and sent it by trailer from his home in Omaha, Neb., to a dealer in Minneapolis.

The San Francisco Chronicle's John Shea reports former Oakland Athletics C Terry Steinbach and former Athletics 3B Carney Lansford, teammates of former Athletics 1B Mark McGwire, said McGwire never took steroids. "I came through the system with Mark; we were roommates in '87," said Steinbach, recalling their rookie year. "Mark wasn't one of those guys who all of a sudden one offseason got so big you couldn't recognize him, like they say about steroid users. Mark loved to lift weights. ... He was in the gym regularly." "Jose (Canseco)? No, at least not in the gym at the Coliseum or the gyms set up for us on the road. He was phenomenal in '88. Up to that point, he showed up on time and did his drills. All of a sudden, he didn't do the extra work in the outfield, and it showed. It frustrated us as teammates. It was frustrating that 24 guys marched to the same beat and Jose didn't."

Outsourcing control system integration makes sense
For manufacturers putting in a new line or in need of system upgrades, there are significant time and money advantages to outsourcing system integration.
Like most business leaders these days, manufacturers are tasked with doing more with less. They have become expert in producing as much final product as possible, with as little waste as possible, with as few people as possible, all the while being energy efficient and sustainable.
That's a pretty tall order, keeping in mind that many elements are out of engineering and operation managers' control. Enter the system integrator.
To maintain a Lean staff, manufacturers are outsourcing some of their engineering tasks, like project management, system design and implementation to system integrators. This is especially true for small- to-mid-sized manufacturers. For manufacturers putting in a new line or in need of system upgrades, there are significant time and money advantages to outsourcing.
But how do you know when to make a direct hire or outsource? Following are two examples of projects system integrators were called upon to work on and some of the considerations that were made before deciding to outsource.
Building materials manufacturer requires one-day cutover
A large international building materials firm produces, processes and distributes materials worldwide. Their goal was to upgrade an antiquated and unsupported Allen-Bradley PLC-2 controller with a less-antiquated (but still legacy) PLC-5, for use on an acid treat system. The project had to be fast-tracked and the cutover had a one-day window during a planned summer shutdown. The ultimate goal was to provide graphics support, alarms and better communications back to the maintenance shed, something that the PLC-2 could not do.
The company contracted system integrator Applied Sciences Group, a member of the Control System Integrators Association, to perform the conversion. ASG's engineers were able to effectively isolate the parts of the software that were a straightforward conversion between the PLC-2 and PLC-5 hardware platforms. ASG was successfully able to develop new control algorithms for the sections of the software that were not easily converted, and they met the cutover requirement. While internal company resources may have been competent to complete this work, it is questionable that they could have met either the fast-track schedule or the cutover constraint given their other plant responsibilities. Indeed, the original schedule had a six-week estimate; as an outside resource focused on the task, ASG completed the work in two.
First and foremost, it is expensive to find and hire the right person to bring into your organization for what could be a limited time opportunity. Hiring expenses include recruiting fees to find technically qualified people, background checks and pre-employment tests, basic salary, employment taxes, benefits, space, office equipment, training and supervision. According to a Studer Group survey of 610 CEOs by Harvard Business School, it takes 6.2 months to reach a break -even point on a new employee.
Secondly, small to mid-sized manufacturers performing upgrades to maintain their competitiveness and productivity may do so on a somewhat erratic timetable. Some choose to deploy new technologies that will make them more environmentally friendly; or in some cases upgrades are required to comply with regulatory guidance. In these scenarios, outsourcing to a system integrator makes great financial sense.
System integrators work with manufacturers to develop the scope of work for the project, establish milestones and completion due dates all the while keeping a watchful eye on costs and expenditures. The system integrator's project manager will provide timely communication to all internal personnel relevant to the project as well as manage any external communication with vendors that could include equipment price negotiation, documentation, training, delivery or set-up.
A system integrator won't take six months to learn an organization's process and procedures for a project. They will be credentialed, certified and ready to work on day one. These highly trained individuals will typically have their own programming tools and necessary vendor relationships to make efficient use of a project's budget and timeline.
Projects have a beginning, middle and end. If a manufacturer had made a full time hire to support a specific project, the end of that project could mean an employee termination or layoff.
In the case of outsourcing, project completion merely signals a contractual end to the client/system integrator relationship, and the system integrator moves on to their next project. System integrators are tasked with performing a variety of upgrades across a broad spectrum of industries. They will work on disparate equipment from multiple vendors and to further complicate this, the age at which these systems, pieces of equipment or versions were put into service can range from current technology to several decades old.
In our scenario above, the project was to replace old PLC's with slightly newer ones. The manufacturer had a narrow window of opportunity during a scheduled plant shutdown to avoid production downtime.

Annual Salary Survey
After two years of economic concerns, manufacturing leaders once again have homed in on the single biggest issue facing their operations:
It's the workers—or more specifically, the lack of workers.
The 2017 Plant Engineering Salary Survey looks at not just what plant managers make, but what they think. As they look across their plants today, plant managers say they don't have the operational depth to take on the new technologies and new challenges of global manufacturing.
