New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has acquired a third round selection in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft and defenseman Mike Vernace from Florida in exchange for forward Wojtek Wolski.
Vernace, 25, has split the season between the San Antonio Rampage and the Norfolk Admirals of the American Hockey League (AHL), registering two goals and 14 assists for 16 points, along with 30 penalty minutes and a plus-five rating in 44 games.
He was traded to Florida, along with James Wright, from Tampa Bay in exchange for Mike Kostka and Evan Oberg on December 2, 2011. Vernace ranks third among San Antonio defensemen in assists and points, and is tied for second with one power play goal. He has recorded two multi-point performances this season, including a two-goal effort on October 22 vs. Binghamton and a career-high, three assists on October 29 at Syracuse.
Defenseman Mike Vernace has 22 games of NHL experience playing for Colorado and Tampa Bay.
Vernace has skated in 348 career AHL games with Albany, Lake Erie, Chicago, Hamilton, Norfolk, and San Antonio, registering 18 goals and 97 assists for 115 points, along with 288 penalty minutes. He established career-highs in assists (26) and points (29) with Lake Erie in 2007-08, and established a career-high in goals (seven) with Norfolk in 2010-11.
Vernace has also skated in 22 career regular season games with the Colorado Avalanche and Tampa Bay Lightning, registering one assist and 10 penalty minutes. He made his NHL debut with Colorado on March 17, 2009, at Minnesota, and recorded his first NHL point with an assist on February 15, 2011, vs. Philadelphia as a member of the Lightning.
The Toronto, Ontario native was originally selected by the San Jose Sharks as a seventh round choice, 201st overall, in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.
Wolski, 26, has registered three assists in nine games with the Rangers this season. He was acquired by the Rangers from Phoenix in exchange for Michal Rozsival on January 10, 2011.
Months after its troubled start at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service, the presidential selfie is officially a trend (because we are now aware of three). A few weeks ago, Obama posed for one with Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye the Science Guy. And today, lovable Red Sox hitter David Ortiz took a shot with the president during his team’s visit to the White House to celebrate their 2013 World Series win.

This agreement ends two years of litigation after Activision shocked the gaming industry when it fired West and Zampella, the co-creators of Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty franchise, in March 2010. After their departure 40 employees up and quit. West and Zampella filed a suit claiming wrongful termination, to which Activision counter-sued saying the two were disloyal and trying to relocate to rival Electronic Arts. Meanwhile, the group of 40 employees filed a separate suit declaring over $2 billion in damages for hundreds of millions of dollars Activision denied them in royalties and bonuses from the franchise’s success. The Call of Duty franchise, thus far, has garnered an estimated $7 billion in revenue.
The settlement resolves all three of these disputes, but the terms remain private for the moment. All that is known is the three parties reached an agreement on Thursday, and will soon be dismissing all charges against one another.
Activision has said that it doesn’t think the charges it is incurring as part of the settlement will impact its earnings for the quarter. Though, it’s fair to speculate that the settlement timing might be a little too convenient, considering Blizzard just released Diablo 3–a game that sold 3.5 million copies within 24 hours of its release. It could be seen as an easy way for the company to cover up any losses Activision is inevitably going to incur now.
Earlier, on May 15 Activision also settled its dispute with Electronic Arts over whether the company may have tried to recruit West and Zampella while they were still under contract. The company also paid out $42 million to the ex-Infinity Ward employees on the same day in back payments.
This legal battle has been one that industry members and investors have kept close tabs on. The developers representing artist’s rights in the gaming industry and Activision Blizzard Inc. showing investors how it planned to assert itself and protect its investments in this battle. Now that all is settled, perhaps West and Zampella can go on to finally release their own AAA title at their appropriately named company, Respawn Entertainment.
Winnipeg police have seized 160 marijuana plants valued at nearly $180,000 after executing a search warrant on Wednesday.
Police searched a home in the 300 block of Boyd Avenue, where they also seized $5,000 in grow operation equipment, and $7,735 in cash.
A 49-year-old man and 30-year-old woman, both from Winnipeg, face several drug-related charges.
Since David Foster Wallace's unfinished novel, The Pale King, has been available for almost two weeks now, DFW junkies are probably on their second reading (for the record, I'm a little over halfway). Still, there's no reason to not mark the occasion with a reading, discussion, and trivia event. After all, this is it. We get no more from him.
At Chicago's Book Cellar, Patrick Somerville (The Cradle, The Universe in Miniature in Miniature), Marcus Sakey (The Amateurs, Good People, At The City’s Edge), Adam Levin (The Instructions), Kyle Beachy (The Slide) and Jon Baskin (co-editor and co-founder of The Point literary magazine) will read their favorite DFW passages before presenting essays on the writer. The evening will conclude with a discussion of The Pale King and a bit of DFW trivia where the winners get free drinks.
As part of their new messaging strategy to reach drinkers ages 21-27, Coors Light looked to Connect at Publicis Media to help define their new tagline, “Thirst for More,” through a storytelling approach. Focusing on the brand’s connection to the outdoors, Connect partnered with Great Big Story to create a five-part branded content series, “Made From Mountains.” In these videos, adventurous artists, like photographer Reuben Wu, who appears in the first installment, are able to explore breathtaking and largely remote locations around the world—and help realize previously unattainable creative ambitions—courtesy of Coors Light.
In “Illuminating Giants,” Wu travels to the Pastoruri Glacier in Peru, which is 16,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains. Using night drones to illuminate the ice-blue walls of the glacier, Wu works against the elements to capture this imposing landscape with his camera. Great Big Story’s brand studio Courageous embedded a small crew within Wu’s journey to document the experience firsthand.
Thanks to the “Made From Mountains” project, Wu has been able to fulfill artistic dreams that at one time, he never thought possible. “Growing up in Liverpool,” he says in the video, “glaciers were always something that I never really had that much access to…. With this project, I was seeking to produce a series of images that tells a story of this place and express my own ideas of exploration.” The resulting otherworldly photographs “show something that hasn’t been seen before: the color of the ice underneath the light of the drone,” Wu says.
Following the video’s distribution across Great Big Story’s social footprint—as well as on OTT platforms like Roku, CNNgo, Great Big Story and the TBS and TNT apps—the reaction to “Illuminating Giants” has been extremely encouraging: 97 percent of comments exhibit a positive response, with “love” and “enjoyment” surfacing as top emotions. The first installment has achieved over 2.5 million video views, 28,000 engagements, and counting.
“As a photographer, my end goal, really, is to make people see the landscape in a completely new perspective,” says Wu in the video. “It’s about showing things in a different light.” The same could be said about this new branded video series.
Senior quarterback Nolan Henry is no stranger to success. The Vancouver, Washington native was a “typical” high school football standout, holding multiple records for passing yards, touchdowns and completion percentage. In 2014, he was the male recipient of the Wendy’s High School Heisman.
“In high school I was lucky to play on a pretty solid high school team and have a lot of success there. And the Heisman part … was based off of academics, community service and performance on the field, and so I was really blessed to win that award,” Henry said.
Despite his individual success, he is still humble and thankful to others for allowing him to be successful.
Irish senior quarterback Nolan Henry jogs off the field during Notre Dame’s 56-27 victory over Wake Forest on Sept. 22.
“I was really lucky in high school to have a great team with a lot of great coaches and so I can thank a lot of them for getting me where I am today,” he said.
As the Heisman award would suggest, Henry was not just a terrific athlete, he was also an AP scholar and a member of the national honor society. But what set him above other great high-school athletes was his service, not only in his community, but halfway across the world.
“In high school I did a couple of different things. We ran a football food drive at [the Clark County youth football] jamboree every single year, for six years, raised over 300,000 pounds of food for southwest Washington. And then … in Liberia, Africa, we went to a village in Kamara Town, worked on their agricultural sustainability, and then also built a sport court for multi-purpose sports,” Henry said.
That service is an impressive part of his resume and is a large part of why Henry is where he is today. Despite being an outstanding athlete, as so many football players do, he fell victim to injury.
“My senior year I had a pretty tough concussion that knocked me unconscious, so a lot of the other opportunities I had were kind of dwindling a little bit, because my future in football was kinda unclear at the time,” he said.
Luckily, Henry had his other strengths to fall back on, which still allowed him to get admitted to Notre Dame.
He even admits that his injury, as terrible as it was, is partly responsible for that decision.
“[I] never like to say that my injury was the reason that got me this opportunity, but I don’t know if I would’ve ended up here if it weren’t the case,” he said.
Henry is a science business major and is weighing his options for the future, currently interviewing for a position in the medical-technology field while keeping his redshirt year of eligibility in his pocket. He said that his favorite memory was the first time he walked out of the tunnel against Texas his freshman year, “seeing the fans and the full 80,000 people in the stadium.” He also described what being a Notre Dame walk-on is like from his experience.
Louisiana Ragin' Cajun football coach Billy Napier sat down for two different ESPN1420 interviews this week, opening up about the state of his team heading into the regular season finale at ULM.
Coach sat down with me earlier this week to discuss the win over South Alabama, the magnitude of Saturday's game at ULM, his team's identity, Thanksgiving food he doesn't like and the diaper changing stories all dads with young kids can relate to.
Napier also sat down with Steve for a special edition of "Louisiana Football Live", sharing what he's thankful for, the game coming up against ULM and the chance to play for the Sun Belt Conference Title, how his first season has gone, and much more.
In order to cut "wasteful expenditure" and duplication of efforts, Chief of Air Staff F H Major today sought creation of an apex body to coordinate and regulate aerospace industries.
India's economic upswing in the last two decades has resulted in substantial surge in aerospace industries in the country, the Air Chief Marshal said, adding "this is an encouraging sign".
However, as the aerospace industry is unregulated, "we run the risk of wasteful expenditure and duplication of efforts", the Air Chief Marshal said addressing a seminar conducted biennially along with Asia's biggest air show, Aero India 2009, which gets underway here on Wednesday.
"Therefore, there is a definite need for an effective apex agency to coordinate and regulate the activities of many organs that constitute our aerospace industry and to provide focus so that (there is) development of a coherent national aerospace capability", he said.
The Chief of Air Staff said India must identify core technologies to be developed, and aggressively design and manufacture them. Attempting to design and develop "every thing" is not cost-effective, he said.
The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired the rights to unsigned center Zach Hyman and a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2017 NHL Draft from the Florida Panthers on Friday in exchange for center Greg McKegg.
Hyman, 23, completed a four-year collegiate career with the University of Michigan by scoring 22 goals and 54 points in 37 games as a senior, and was a Hobey Baker finalist. The Panthers selected him in the fifth round (No. 123) of the 2010 draft.
McKegg, 23, is scoreless in four career games for the Maple Leafs, three this season. He had 22 goals and 37 points in 62 games for the Toronto Marlies in his third full American Hockey League season. McKegg had 47 points in 65 games for the Marlies in 2013-14.
We all know that sound travels in waves, which we can't see—but can certainly feel, given enough bass. Sound designer Ricky van Broekhoven and Eindhoven I.D. grad Olivier van Herpt have exploited this phenomena by connecting a speaker rig to a 3D printer; by playing music during the printing process, they can create objects that have the sound visibly captured within the striations, creating patterns and textures that combine the organic with the technological.
Olivier had noted previously that the printer produced Moiré patterns naturally. This error was an interesting one. Rather than eliminate it, he turned to sound designer Ricky and teamed up with him to see if they could make objects from sound waves.
The result is that "A moment in time, a song, a sound, they can now become objects that encapsulate the moment forever." What would be fascinating is if they could create a device that could read the objects and play the sound back. Three-dimensional, 3D-printed LPs, anyone?
Reminds me of Gaetano Pesce´s "Sound Tables" from the late 80´s. Those tables were resin casted over flat surfaces connected to big speakers that played Pink Floyd music.
The party cup of joy was brimming over, leader after leader hailing them for the stunning victory in Uttar Pradesh.
As the results came in Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah had brief conversations over phone. The party cup of joy was brimming over, leader after leader hailing them for the stunning victory in Uttar Pradesh. Modi and Shah did not say much. They thanked the voters, especially the poor and the youth, and let the scoreboard do the talking.
A party source said the next project on Shah’s table centres on 120 Lok Sabha seats where the BJP has little or no presence. That’s his next target, the source said.
The BJP chief plans to tour these 120 constituencies, mostly in the South and East, and start from scratch by building the booth-level infrastructure.
“Shah wants these 120 seats under the Modi umbrella,” the source said. These constituencies are spread across Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, West Bengal and states in the North-East.
Traditional funding is thin; private investors can play a constructive, nonthreatening role.
As officials of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority, we found much to agree with in the Aug. 17 commentary by former state Rep. Phyllis Kahn (“Minneapolis election overlooks a critical issue”).
Kahn rightly highlights the urgent need for city leaders, the housing authority and public-housing residents to move forward on a long-term plan to preserve the housing that the MPHA provides. We face a deepening gap in federal funding that has grown for decades. With $127 million in immediate capital needs in our buildings, and just $10 million in annual funding from Congress, it is left to us in Minneapolis to seize the initiative and innovate.
MPHA’s 6,000 units of public housing are one resource we know we have, amid a regionwide affordable housing crisis. Two-thirds of Twin Cities families with extremely low incomes — the people public housing serves — pay more than half of their incomes for rent. And these families compete for a meager supply: For every 10 such families in the metro, only three affordable rentals even exist. Today almost 17,000 people sit on wait lists for MPHA’s public housing and housing vouchers.
We must move boldly to safeguard MPHA’s public housing. Reviving the city’s tax levy for public housing, which Kahn mentions, would be a strong start. Before it was eliminated during the recession, this levy provided vital funding for security services that benefit not just residents but surrounding neighbors. Restored to its full size — potentially millions of dollars — the levy could begin to make a dent in our backlog of repairs.
But it would not be enough. Funds from the city, state, loans and bonding should all be on the table. And so must the Low Income Housing Tax Credit. The LIHTC has enabled the preservation or construction of 3 million low-income homes since 1986. Yet no sooner had it entered the conversation here than we encountered an active effort to demonize and distort the role it could play in saving public housing.
Here are the facts any public-housing resident or concerned community member should know: The LIHTC entices an investor to give us millions of dollars that we do not need to pay back. This injection funds major repairs, badly needed upgrades to common and living spaces, and even the addition of more deeply affordable housing units for the families we serve.
For the investor to claim the credit, the IRS requires us to temporarily share ownership of the building (but not the land), typically for 15 years. The affordability of the homes is locked in for much longer — at least 30 years, and potentially in perpetuity. Never does the investor have the power to “turn it into condos,” raise rents or evict tenants, who have rights and benefits guaranteed under the tax credit rules, federal subsidy laws and state law. Federal subsidies, provided by MPHA, supplement the rent for every one of these tenants so that families pay the same rents.
The investor gets the tax credit, but MPHA controls the deal. Any deal that doesn’t meet our mission — to provide homes for those most in need — is a deal we reject outright.
1) You will not lose your housing benefits.
2) Your rent will not go up because of redevelopment.
3) You will have the first right to return if you need to move temporarily while we make improvements.
4) MPHA will continue to manage and maintain the properties.
5) MPHA is committed to preserving — and increasing, if we can — our number of low-income housing units.
Extensive resident engagement is essential to any project, and we expect residents and the community to hold us to these. One can look to our stellar record among housing authorities — of never losing units over the decades; of keeping those units full; of service to refugee communities, the elderly and people of color — to know that we mean it. Anyone who doubts our commitment to preserve and grow can look to our upcoming groundbreaking for 16 new public-housing townhouses in south Minneapolis for families emerging from homelessness.
To keep our promises, we must raise sufficient funds to fully reinvest in our properties. This will require the support, advice and dealmaking abilities of the City Council and mayor to bring in the investment we need. If we move boldly together and embrace the tools available to us today, we can save this essential housing for the future. Our mission and our community demand it.

The Associated Press revealed on Monday that the Justice Department secretly obtained records for more than 20 phone lines belonging to its reporters and editors. The seizures affected both personal cell phones and office lines in AP bureaus in New York, Hartford and Washington.
Various reports of the seizures have suggested they are tied to the Justice Department’s investigation of media leaks related to a CIA operation in Yemen.
