In this commentary, I examine one form of " lost childhood" that is often lamented in Western media, exploring the case of Latin American children temporarily left behind during their mothers' migrations to the U.S. Drawing upon interviews with Mexican and Salvadoran mothers in the United States, I examine the way that the circulation of Western ideals of childhood inform, and interact with, locally- and culturally-specific notions of childhood in Mexico and El Salvador.

France 'funding Syrian opposition' to oust Assad regime: Report
London: France is funding Syria's armed opposition groups around Aleppo as part of a new push to oust the embattled regime of President Bashar-al Assad, a report has said.
Diplomatic sources have confirmed that large sums of cash have been delivered by French government proxies across the Turkish border to rebel commanders in the past month.
The money has been used to buy weapons inside Syria and to fund armed operations against loyalist forces, the Guardian reports.
According to western and Turkish officials as well as rebel leaders, the influx of money has made a difference in recent weeks as momentum on the battlefields of the north steadily shifts towards the opposition.
The paper said that some of the French cash has reached Islamist groups who were desperately short of ammunition and who had increasingly turned for help towards Al-Qaeda aligned jihadist groups in and around Aleppo.
The French newspaper le Figaro recently reported that French military advisers had met with rebel groups inside Syria, in further evidence of efforts by Paris to step up pressure on President Assad, the paper said.
According to the paper, France has suggested that rebels should be given 'defensive weapons' to use against the regime and was the first country to recognise a recalibrated political body as the legitimate voice of the Syrian people.

HBO doc 'Six by Sondheim' salutes stage great Stephen Sondheim
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Ever since Stephen Sondheim reached the fourscore mark three years ago, the spotlight has shifted from his work to the legend himself. There have been birthday galas, musical tributes, interviews galore and books in which the master reveals the secrets of his songwriting sorcery.
Now there's Six by Sondheim, an HBO documentary airing Monday at 9 p.m. that's directed by Sondheim's frequent collaborator James Lapine, the librettist and director without whom there'd be no "Sunday in the Park With George," "Into the Woods" or "Passion."
The film doesn't fill in any major gaps in our knowledge of the relationship between Sondheim's life and art. But it does stylishly retread this fascinating ground with a rising emotional thrum that renders absurd the notion that Sondheim is all neurotic cleverness and no heart.
With so much golden musical material, an organizing structure is needed, and Lapine, who conceived and directed the 2010 Broadway salute "Sondheim on Sondheim," finds one in six classic songs: "Something's Coming" (West Side Story), "Opening Doors" (Merrily We Roll Along), "Send in the Clowns" (A Little Night Music), "I'm Still Here" (Follies), "Being Alive" (Company) and "Sunday" (Sunday in the Park With George).
Weaving Sondheim history and personal reflection in and around these numbers, Six by Sondheim proceeds as though piecing together a jigsaw puzzle portrait of the man who redefined the American musical in the second half of the 20th century.
By splicing interviews of the eager twenty-something lyricist-composer with the restless (and somewhat prickly) midcareer explorer and the grizzled elder statesman, the film provides a guided tour of Sondheim's artistic consciousness along with his changing hairstyles and beards.
Few artists are as articulate about their own creative process. But what's most striking in this retelling is the emotional debt Sondheim acknowledges to Oscar Hammerstein II, his surrogate father. Sondheim considers Hammerstein an "experimental playwright" and vigorously defends him against those who refuse to see just how far he extended the boundaries of the Broadway musical. But it's the personal relationship that causes Sondheim to well up.
As a young man caught in the crossfire of his parents' divorce, Sondheim found sanctuary in the Hammerstein household. No one taught him more about the life-changing impact of teaching, which he calls "the sacred profession."
Tantalizing archival footage of Ethel Merman in Gypsy and Bernadette Peters in Sunday in the Park With George reminds us of just how many superstar careers have fatefully intersected with Sondheim's. He refers to himself as a Broadway baby, and his theatrical legacy is inseparable from all those performers whose legends were sealed in his shows.
Showstoppers are traced back to the singers who inspired them. "I'm Still Here" borrowed from the roller-coaster life of Joan Crawford to give Yvonne De Carlo a number worthy of her celebrity. The short line phrases of "Send in the Clowns" was designed to accommodate Glynis Johns' breathy vocal style, though a delightful YouTube montage of this unexpected Sondheim hit demonstrates just how flexible this lyrically baffling number can be.
A sprightly new filmed version of "Opening Doors" with Darren Criss, America Ferrera and Jeremy Jordan entrusts to the next generation this singing portrait of young artists in their salad days. Sondheim refers to this as his most explicitly autobiographical number, explaining that his usual songwriting practice is to inhabit the situation of his characters the way an actor inhabits a role.
There are other contemporary cracks at classics — a "Send in the Clowns" with Audra McDonald and Will Swenson and an outre version of "I'm Still Here" with Jarvis Cocker of the rock band Pulp that's directed by Todd Haynes. But it's the vintage performances that steal the film.
In an excerpt from the superb 1970 D.A. Pennebaker documentary Company: Original Cast Album, Dean Jones delivers a rendition of "Being Alive" that beats any I've heard live or on recording. Still hard at work at a craft that he says requires only more courage with age, Sondheim hasn't always received the appreciation he deserves. Those who radically advance their art forms rarely do. So it's gratifying to see him recognized as one of the immortals while he's still around to enjoy it.

Christmas in the Hi-ReS! kitchen
Posted by Mark Sinclair, 21 December 2012, 14:12 Permalink Comments (0)
If you haven't yet visited the Hi-ReS! interactive kitchen wall from the comfort of your own desk, then the studio's special Christmas instalment also offers the perfect chance to check out the artists who have participated in the project to date...
Since last year, the London-based studio has been inviting creatives into the office to create something special on the chalkboard walls of its kitchen.
In October 2011 Estonian illustrator, Triinu Lille (above and below), drew a forest for a piece entitled Listen, while the following month saw artist Céli Lee create An Unconscious Walk – more of an intricate three-dimensional experience. This October, illustrator and filmmaker Johannes Helgelin unleashed his drawing, A Bottle of Worms, on the unsuspecting blackboard.
The creation of each piece is filmed and shown online as the launch event. Now, all the projects have been uploaded and the gestation of each one can be viewed in a kind of scrollable timelapse film. Visitors can whizz the action back and forth using the mouse – or the up and down arrow keys – and, stopping at any point in the artwork's creation, the image will settle into a sharper picture (viewers can also move the size the film window accordingly).
For Christmas 2012, chalk was handed out amongst the studio's own illustrative talent – and the results can be seen in the Merry Festivus compilation at kitchen.hi-res.net.
CR in Print
The January issue of Creative Review is all about the Money - well, almost. What do you earn? Is everyone else getting more? Do you charge enough for your work? How much would it cost to set up on your own? Is there a better way of getting paid? These and many more questions are addressed in January's CR.
But if money's not your thing, there's plenty more in the issue: interviews with photographer Alexander James, designer Mirko Borsche and Professor Neville Brody. Plus, Rick Poynor on Anarchy magazine, the influence of the atomic age on comic books, Paul Belford's art direction column, Daniel Benneworth-Gray's This Designer's Life column and Gordon Comstock on the collected memos, letters and assorted writings of legendary adman David Ogilvy.

Richard Dawson, Late Star of Family Feud and Hogan's Heroes -- a Personal Connection
Richard Dawson, the acerbic, but playful host of Family Feud for so many years, died yesterday at the age of 79.
Our connection to Dawson was this: He was best buddies with Bob Crane, star of the prisoner-of-war sitcom Hogan's Heroes , on which Dawson played mouthy sidekick Corporal Peter Newkirk.
And Dawson also was very well-acquainted with John Carpenter, a quirky fellow who in 1992 was accused by Maricopa County authorities of murdering Crane at a Scottsdale apartment in 1978.
If memory serves, Dawson had introduced the pair, the hook being that both Crane and Carpenter were inveterate "horndogs" and loved to document their exploits on videotape.
Oh, and that Carpenter was a video salesman who had sold state-of-the-art Sony equipment to Elvis Presley and President Lyndon Johnson.
Better than relying on memory is this story we wrote almost two decades ago, the first of a three-part exploration into the mercurial life and violent death of Bob Crane, the nation's biggest TV star during the heyday of Hogan's Heroes.
We had occasion during the months of reporting for that series to meet (and later to become good friends with) Richard Dawson's son, Mark, an exceptionally bright and fun guy to be around.
Mark's beloved mom was the late Diana Dors, a.k.a. the "British Marilyn Monroe," a blond bombshell whose image is emblazoned on one of the most famous albums of all-time, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by a group called the Beatles.
Mark Dawson was living on his dad's boat in Marina del Rey at the time with his girlfriend, also a terrific person (and heavy-metal drummer) named Linda McDonald, who still performs far as I know with a kick-ass group called The Iron Maidens.
We spent endless hours discussing the Crane murder -- the late actor was "Uncle Bob" to Mark-- and we bounced around theories deep into the night.
Mark introduced us to John Carpenter shortly after the latter's surprise 1992 arrest in the Los Angeles area by a now-retired Phoenix cop Jimmy Raines.
Carpenter was in custody at the LA County Jail, and when we spoke to him there that first time, he was sitting behind the Plexiglass window next to Damian "Football" Williams, one of the guys charged in the infamous attack on truck driver Reginald Denny in the riotous aftermath of police-brutality victim Rodney King's acquittal.
A confluence of quasi-historical figures, to be sure.
We spoke just once to Richard Dawson on the phone, to ask him something about John Carpenter, whose alleged motivation for bludgeoning his sleeping pal Crane with a tripod was that Crane was about to terminate their friendship.
Dawson was grumpy, monosyllabic, and wasn't about to give up anything of substance. Didn't blame him, and didn't take it personally. Wished him well, and was done with it.
A Maricopa County jury acquitted Carpenter of first-degree in 1994, despite a spirited effort by veteran prosecutor Bob Shutts. Carpenter died of a heart attack four years later, after which we wrote this about our "relationship."
We know how much Mark Dawson loved and respected his dad, and our condolences go out to him.

The announcement that former German international soccer player Thomas Hitzlsperger is gay prompted many of our Facebook followers to debate whether sports people's sexuality should be a matter for public scrutiny.
German soccer international Thomas Hitzlsperger made news in Germany and across the world on Wednesday (08.01.2014) when he publically announced he is gay.
Now retired, the 31-year-old told the German weekly "Die Zeit" that coming out was a "long and difficult process." Hitzlsperger went on to say that he went public with his sexuality as he wanted "to advance the discussion to homosexuality among professional athletes." Adding that the issue of homosexuality within soccer had for too long been "simply ignored."
As the story broke, DW (English) asked their Facebook followers whether the sexuality of high-profile people should be a matter for public debate.
Here's an overview of what people are saying about Hitzlsperger's announcement on DW English's Facebook page. You can still join in the discussion.
Paul Joseph Canniff: When something has stigma attached to it, a revelation by a well-known person can reduce the stigma and help others feel more confident about themselves. Many of you may be too young to remember when having cancer was considered shameful, and slowly we have changed that to the point where we have charity runs every week and where cancer brings out sympathy and community support. Social stigmas for things people can't, and/or should be asked to change, cause a tremendous amount of suffering. So, yeah, these people do a public good by discussing "private" matters. If it makes you uncomfortable, consider how your "discomfort" affects your friends and family if they have something important they are forced to keep secret.
Tobias Larsson: I wish more gay athletes would come out. To show that it is possible and to finally make it a non-issue. Kudos to Hitzlsperger. The only way to make people see that gay people are perfectly capable of being athletes, doctors, firefighters, you-name-its is for gay people doing perfectly normal things to come out. To become normal regular people in the eye of the grand public and not to be something exotic or scary. That's the only reason why it would matter.
Karl Werner: It's only a big deal because people make it a big deal.
Judy Rempel Prachnau: No, they need to keep their private lives private.
Yosra Karaani: No he's free! It's his own life!
Méndez JD: Sexuality is private and has nothing whatsoever to do with your job. You're supposed to be capable because you're good at what you do, period. There are players, not gay players. Stop defining by what you do in bed and start defining yourself by what you do outside of it. That's how anyone in the field or in any other endeavor earns respect. What does it matter and what does that have to do with your sport? They keep defining themselves for what they do in bed.
Claudia Santibañez: Who cares?
Ricky Daniels: If one chooses to live a public life of non-heterosexuality, I can attest personally that there will be a price to be paid - remember that we are talking about not just visible non-heterosexuality; we are talking about public non-heterosexuality. This extends far beyond sports.
Alan Garth Tuttle: No one's sexuality should be made public - unless children are being sexually abused.
Victor Chan: Tell me, why I should care about if he is gay or not?
Elmer Adam Monteza: Is he available? Would love to go on a date with him.
Azam Ali Soomro: It is a personal matter and should be kept personal. It can make a difference towards a player's popularity and love of the fans all over the world!
In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesperson Steffen Seibert applauded Hitzlsperger's decision to make his sexuality public, tweeting: "We live in a country where no one should be afraid to acknowledge his sexuality [because of intolerance]."
Should sports stars sexuality be up for public debate? When such an announcement is made, does it warrant the media attention it gets? Join the discussion here.
Homosexuality is a taboo in the soccer world. But when compared with the rest of Europe, Germany appears to be a relatively safe haven for gay players, says Klaus Heusslein of the European Gay & Lesbian Sport Federation. (08.01.2014)
Divers have reportedly located the wreck of what could potentially be a Russian submarine off the east coast of Sweden. Authorities have reacted cautiously to the discovery and are examining footage of the wreck.
To deal with an influx of refugees, the wealthy south-western state of Baden-Württemberg plans to set up a task force and build more shelters. It also wants to speed up the deportation of migrants from "safe" countries.
The US State Department has given Malaysia a better grade on fighting human trafficking. That decision has more to do with the president's trade agenda than human rights, says DW's Spencer Kimball.
The number of subsidized homes in Germany has sunk once again, as the state cuts housing subsidies. Critics say the trend needs to be reversed to prevent a widening gap between rich and poor.

- Buster Olney, Senior Writer, ESPN Insider
BOSTON -- From the first day of spring training, the Detroit Tigers players say, Brad Ausmus talked about the running game.
But not only the running game of the Detroit baserunners, who were told to look for opportunities to take a base when they see it. Ausmus also wanted his pitchers to think more about the running game.
When pitchers threw their bullpen sessions in the spring, about a third of their work was done from the stretch, Alex Avila recalled. They simulated situations in which there was a runner at first, or first and third. They worked on varying their delivery times to the plate and on throwing to first base.
Last year, opposing teams ran aggressively against the Tigers. Detroit allowed 128 steals in 157 attempts, a staggering rate of 81.5 percent, which ranked 29th in the majors. Only two teams allowed more stolen bases.
This season, the Tigers have allowed 27 steals in 42 attempts, and their 35.7 percent rate of nabbing runners ranks fifth in the majors.
The pitchers have bought in to slowing down opposing runners, said Ausmus. That includes Anibal Sanchez, particularly, after he's had a lot of trouble with stolen bases in the past. Last year, Sanchez allowed 25 steals in 26 attempts.
This year, Sanchez's numbers aren't much better (six steals allowed in seven attempts), but Avila feels he's throwing better, and has put in the work to improve. "Throwing out runners is a two-way street," said Avila.
The Tigers added Rajai Davis and Ian Kinsler during the offseason, and so it was inevitable that Detroit would run more and steal more bases. The Tigers' baserunners generally have a green light to run, other than when they get a hold sign from the bench, and Torii Hunter believes the Detroit baserunners are assuming a natural aggressiveness.
Detroit leads the AL in steals with 36 -- one more than all of last season, when the Tigers finished last in MLB.
More on the Red Sox, Tigers
• The Boston Red Sox players have a strong sense of what it takes to win, after going from worst to first last season, and there is deep unhappiness with the team's situational play right now. They feel like they should be taking advantage of those opportunities to move runners in close games, given the team's dip in power production this season, and given Boston's own strong pitching. The Red Sox currently rank 15th in runs, after leading the majors -- by far -- in 2013.
• The sands in the hourglass continue to slide away in the time remaining for the Red Sox to sign Jon Lester to a long-term extension. Clayton Kershaw set the very top of the market when he got a $215 million deal in the offseason, but the fairer comparables for Lester might be Cole Hamels, who got $144 million from the Philadelphia Phillies a few months before he was set to hit the market as a free agent, or Matt Cain, who got a five-year, $112.5 million extension in the spring before his free-agent fall.
The Red Sox offered Lester $70 million over four years earlier this year, and while Lester has mentioned that he'd like to stay in Boston, there is typically a time in the baseball calendar when it makes more sense for a prospective free agent to simply wait until he can hit the market.
If Boston intends to make a stronger offer to the 30-year-old Lester, who is off to the best start of his career, then it makes absolutely no sense to wait before presenting the upgraded proposal.

Victor Martinez is one of the best hitting catchers in major league history. Yet it remains to be seen whether the Red Sox — or anyone else — will pay him like one.
That issue has assumed heightened importance in recent days. A report that emerged on Monday that Joe Mauer and the Twins were close to signing a 10-year deal now appears premature. Even so, while several subsequent reports have suggested that no deal is at hand, there still appears to be a consensus that a deal between the Minnesota native and his hometown team is likely.
Mauer would be eligible for free agency after the 2010 season. If the reigning American League MVP chooses not to make himself the subject of a massive bidding war between the Sox, Yankees and any number of other clubs, that has significant implications for the Red Sox and Martinez.
With Mauer out of the mix, Martinez' career suggests that he is the obvious standout in next winter's free agent catching class that otherwise features a group with significant offensive limitations. Indeed, after his first six full seasons in the majors, the 31-year-old could be one of the top offensive catchers to reach free agency in the last 20 years.
Once he came to the Red Sox from the Indians at last year's trade deadline, Martinez immediately became a difference-making bat. The switch-hitter hit .336 with a .405 OBP, .507 slugging mark, .912 OPS and 41 RBI in 56 games. He was a force hitting in the third spot in the lineup, something that continued a career-long trend.
Since 1901, there have been 117 catchers (defined as players who spent at least half of their games squatting behind the plate) with at least 2,500 plate appearances through their age 30 seasons. Among those, Martinez ranks 10th with an .837 OPS.
Of the nine players in front of him, five are Hall of Famers (Mickey Cochrane, Bill Dickey, Gabby Hartnett, Carlton Fisk, Yogi Berra) and two (Mauer and Mike Piazza; three if Joe Torre is included) have a good shot at following suit.
Part of that ranking reflects the offensive era in which Martinez plays. Even so, measured by OPS+ (which measures a catcher's OPS against league average), the three-time All-Star still holds up well. Martinez has a 121 OPS+ (meaning that he his OPS has been 21 percent higher than league average in his career), which ranks 17th all-time among catchers through their age 30 seasons.
Of the 16 players in front of him, nine are in the Hall of Fame, and two more (Mauer and Piazza, three if Torre is included) seem likely to end up there.
Assuming that he doesn't sign an extension with the Sox, Martinez will reach free agency after the 2010 season with a history of offensive production and at an age that is rare for catchers.
The last catcher to reach the open market who was younger and a better hitter than Martinez was Mike Piazza. The mulleted one, armed with a ridiculous 160 career OPS+ after his age 29 season, received a seven-year, $91 million deal from the Mets.
Piazza may have been the best hitting catcher in major league history, however. Martinez will not be able to use him as a comp.
Mauer's expected deal with the Twins, meanwhile, will likely be viewed as a one-of-a-kind phenomenon, just as Mauer is a one-of-a-kind player. Mauer, after all, led the American League in hitting (and now has three batting titles — or one more than all other catchers had won in modern baseball history), OBP, slugging and OPS in 2009. Moreover, Mauer has won two straight Gold Gloves. Again, he's in a separate class from Martinez (or other humans).
There are a handful of contracts that provide a more likely basis of comparison should Martinez reach free agency as a catcher (the only other multi-year deals of at least $10 million a year for catchers in major league history):
Jorge Posada, Yankees: 4 years, $52.4 million ($13.1 million AAV)
Re-signed as a free agent for ages 36-39 (2008-11)
Career stat line when signed: .277/.381/.479/.860, 218 HR, 861 RBI, 124 OPS+
Jorge Posada, Yankees: 5 years, $51 million ($10.2 million AAV) plus club option
Signed before reaching free agency for ages 30-34 (2002-06)
Career stat line when signed: .268/.369/.465/.834, 85 HR, 326 RBI, 115 OPS+
Jason Varitek, Red Sox: 4 years, $40 million ($10 million AAV)
Re-signed as a free agent for ages 33-36 (2005-08)
Career stat line when signed: .271/.347/.451/.798, 97 HR, 418 RBI, 103 OPS+
Pudge Rodriguez, Tigers: 4 years, $40 million ($10 million AAV) plus club option
Signed as free agent for ages 32-35 (2004-07)
Career stat line when signed: .304/.344/.488/.832, 231 HR, 914 RBI, 113 OPS+
Jason Kendall, Pirates: 6 years, $60 million ($10 million AAV)
Signed before reaching free agency for ages 28-33 (2002-07)
Career stat line when signed: .314/.402/.456/.858, 45 HR, 265 RBI, 121 OPS+
(NOTE: Kendall's career stat line is through the 2000 season; he signed the extension, which took effect in 2002, after the 2000 season, with one year left on a prior deal)
Posada's current deal with the Yankees is regarded as something of an industry outlier. Most executives believe that New York overpaid following a career year for Posada (he reached career highs in average, OBP, slugging and OPS in 2007) to retain a key component of its club. Aside from that deal, the bar for elite catchers seems to be set at about $10 million a year for four or more years.
Given that Martinez will be 32 at the start of his next deal, he would seem to compare most directly to the four-year, $40 million deals signed by Varitek and Rodriguez. That seems about right in some respects, since he is considered a better hitter than were either of those two but probably a worse defender.
One executive suggested that a walk year can play a huge role in influencing the final shape of the deal, to the point where Martinez would seem in line — barring a huge decline in his performance — for a three- or four-year deal for anywhere from $8 million to $12 million a year: most likely something in the Varitek/Rodriguez range, but potentially greater if he has a Posada-like walk year.
Of course, such a deal would come with quite a bit of risk on the back end, given the studies that demonstrate fairly convincingly that the production of catchers typically plummets at age 35. The first two to three years of a deal for Martinez would likely yield solid offensive productivity, but the fourth year could represent a "cover your eyes and hope for the best" scenario.
Multiple evaluators noted that Martinez' intelligence as a hitter might help him to somewhat resist the normal decline patterns of age. The same traits that allowed him to make adjustments at the end of the 2009 season — in a year when he set career highs in games played, he still hit .369 with a .949 OPS in September — could help Martinez as he ages.
Still, that Martinez might do so would represent a leap of faith that would run counter to the history of players at the position. But, in order to secure a catcher of Martinez' caliber for the next few years, a team would likely be willing to risk the extra year as a necessary cost of doing business … presuming, of course, that the team viewed Martinez as a catcher going forward.
Yet that issue is not quite as simple as it may seem.
There are questions throughout the sport about how much longer Martinez has behind the plate. That issue, in turn, will play a huge role in determining the 31-year-old's next contract.
Assessments of whether Martinez should be treated as a catcher or first baseman/DH in free agency run the gamut.
Some voices in the industry suggest that it is plainly apparent that his future is as a first baseman and designated hitter, and that he is on borrowed time behind the plate. Indeed, there are those who believe that he is already ill-suited for catching, and that when he becomes a free agent, he cannot be compared to backstops.
Others believe that — even though his bat will always be his calling card — Martinez can prove serviceable behind the plate in coming years.
More likely, the Sox will need this year to figure out which is true — something that helps to explain why, according to a baseball source, there hasn't been a particular sense of urgency for the team to engage Martinez in discussions of a contract extension.
Before 2009, Martinez spent roughly 90 percent of his games crouching behind the plate. In 2009, however, he had a far more even distribution of games, playing catcher in 85 games (55 percent) and first base in 70 (45 percent).
Now, the Sox are entering 2010 with a stated plan of having Martinez serve primarily as an everyday catcher. But the undertaking is experimental. In all likelihood, the Sox need the benefit of a full year of evaluating Martinez to determine whether he can represent a solution behind the plate for the long term.
His ability as a hitter is not questioned, though there is some curiosity about how the grind of a full season behind the plate would affect him in the batter's box. How he works with a pitching staff and controls a running game when subjected to the daily rigors of working behind the plate -- something he hasn't done over a full season since 2007 -- also represents an unknown.
If Martinez is solid behind the plate in 2010 while maintaining his offensive production, then he would likely be in line for the Varitek/Rodriguez/Posada contract. But, if teams conclude — as some executives already have — that he should be evaluated purely in the context of the market for first basemen and designated hitters, then Martinez becomes a completely different animal.
He has the bat to justify being an everyday first baseman and DH. Even so, when removed from behind the plate, his offense translates from elite (as a catcher) to merely good, with an expectation that his corresponding contract would likewise change.
The other "top" catchers who will be on the open market following the coming season include A.J. Pierzynski, Bengie Molina, Ramon Hernandez, Jason Varitek ... players who are beyond their primes and are reaching (or well beyond) the age when the production of catchers falls off a cliff. Against that group, Martinez is like a superhero whose smile glints blindingly in the sun.
Over the past 10 years, Martinez ranks fourth among catchers with an .837 career OPS (behind Mauer (.892), Posada (.878) and Mike Piazza (.872)). During the same decade-long stretch, however, he would rank 24th in the majors in OPS among first basemen/designated hitters, behind Nick Johnson (.849) and just ahead of Adam LaRoche (.834) – both of whom, it should be noted, will be free agents following the 2010 season.
In fact, Johnson (who this offseason signed a one-year, $5.5 million deal with the Yankees with a mutual option for 2011) and LaRoche (who inked a one-year, $4.5 million contract with Arizona that includes a mutual option for 2011) are two of several solid free-agent options who could fill a 1B/DH description after this year.
Adam Dunn (.903 career OPS, 132 career OPS+), Derek Lee (.873, 124), Carlos Pena (.858, 126) and Paul Konerko (.843, 116) are among the other options who can deliver the sort of offensive production of which Martinez is capable as a first baseman/designated hitter. Given that competition, Martinez could be expected to see less in both years and dollars should there not be a market for his services as an everyday catcher.
All of that being the case, while Martinez has stated his interest in an extension to remain in Boston beyond this coming season, it would not come as a surprise to see the Sox take a deliberate approach to pursuing a new deal with him. As impressive as his Red Sox debut proved in 2009, there is much that is left for the team to learn about the three-time All-Star as he prepares for his first full year in Boston.

Top Rope Sickle or Near It
"Can we borrow your guidebook?" The bottom area of this route can be tricky since it seems you should start left and then go right, or vice versa :) When you get up to the huge ledge (above the small ledge) you have two crack type choices i) left using a large and well polished off-width or ii) right up a finger/hand crack. The off-width is probably harder than 5.8 (at least for me) if you limit yourself to it. Use the broken face on the left for left foot and left hand.

Sheer Energy
April leading "sheer energy" on the Red Wall. A fun route with a couple short crack moves to face climbing with small but positive holds. You can also link this route with the second pitch of sheer stress by skipping the anchor and heading right into a crack system.

This is a fun little mixed climb at Broughton called Sheer Energy. It's a 10a, and more cryptic than pumpy. A couple of odd moves make it more challenging, but a great warm-up climb.

Hercules and Ioalus come to the rescue to discover the invaders are actually a tribe of Amazonian warriors, who are determined to lay waste to the men of the region. Roma Downey plays Hippolyta, Lucy Lawless appears as Lysia in her pre-Xena days, and Anthony Quinn highlights the supporting cast as Zeus.

Feel really at home in our beautiful modern penthouse in the heart of Amsterdam. Our house is in the middle of Amsterdam, on walking distance of Central Station, Jordaan, the canals, Prinsen Eiland, Dam square and the cultural area of Westerpark.

The apartment is really well designed with modern and light materials, cosy furniture, art and accessories. You will really feel at home here. On the 5th floor there are 3 bedrooms, one children bedroom with a bunk bed (on the picture you still see 2 babybeds they are replaced now by this bed) , one master bedroom with a king size bed and a 3rd bedroom with a king size bed. The bathroom has both a shower and bath, and there is a separate toilet. On the 6th floor a big spacious living room (75 square meters) with an open kitchen and glass doors to the roof terras. The roof terras has a table with seats and a couch.

Great appartment and great support. Tijntjes dad explained us everything we needed to know and showed us around! :) TOTALLY recommend it :)
Wonderfull apartment with harbour view within the City of Amsterdam.
Spacious, clean, modern, personal.
We had a great weekend for a reasonable price.
We will definitely pay another visit some day!
Tijntje is a great host, just like her father who arranged the keys.
This was a great experience. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone planning to go to Amsterdam
excelente spot, excelente anfitrión. muy preocupado por los detalles. 110% recomendable!
The host canceled this reservation 67 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
This apartment is amazing. A really lovely location and only a 20 minute walk to central station.
From booking to leaving Tijntje and her partner were extremely helpful. Her partner was there to greet us when we arrived and was very welcoming, giving us some tips on where to go. They were flexible about when we left, which was a great help too.
I would definitely stay here again if I'm back in Amsterdam!
About the Host, Tijntje
We are Tijntje (working at eBay/Marktplaats) and Diederik (working at Royal Jumbo). We live together with our 2 children in Amsterdam. We love to travel, and try to go at least on one big trip a year. But also a lot of weekend trips during the year. In the summer we spend a lot of time in our wooden chalet at the beach in the North of Holland. We love Amsterdam because its beauty, the nice places to have diner, the theaters and music houses, the lovely markets on the Noordermarkt (Monday morning and Saturday) and much more. But we can give you all kind of ideas and suggestions depending on your travel purpose. Our house is suitable for families but also for people without children.
love to see you in our house,
Tijntje & Diederik

Just curious -- any idea what events Michael Phelps will be swimming?
a resident of another community
on Jun 11, 2009 at 9:50 am
Well, according to Universal Sports, Phelps will be competing in the following 4 events:
Fri, June 12: 200m butterfly
Sat, June 13: 400m freestyle
Sun, June 14: 100m freestyle & 100m backstroke
I guess this schedule demonstrates his versatility in competing in a middle-distance as well as a sprint event (400m + 100m) - will be interesting to see how he does compared to his post-Olympic Charlotte debut last month as he gears up for the National Championships and then the Worlds next month...he just finished some high-altitude training up in Colorado, and is reported to be planning to use his new straight-arm "windmill" stroke for 100% of the 100m free.
Also looking forward to see how youngsters Dagny Knutson and ELizabeth Biesel will fare when racing against the Aussie Olympians as well as Coventry...

Author Info
|Daniel Defoe
|The son of a well-to-do butcher, Defoe became a London tradesman and merchant. He was well educated and kept notebooks from an early age in which he wrote short fictions. He also daydreamed about adventurous voyages in the South Seas and was excited by the prospect of colonizing new (and utopian) lands. These ideas were to bear fruit in his great work, ROBINSON CRUSOE. Defoe was a gregarious man and the father of eight children. A Dissenter who was a perennial foe of the Tories, he was often jailed for his political writings. He was pilloried for his savagely ironic pamphlet, "The Shortest Way with Dissenters" (considered libelous), which recommended massacring them. After the more tolerant William III ousted the Papist James II, Defoe worked loyally for the king, writing poems, satires, and polemics in defense of his policies. It wasn't until he was in his 50s that Defoe turned to writing fiction, and his stories of thieves and prostitutes were immensely successful. Plagued by creditors all his life, he died at 71 while he was in hiding from one of them, in Ropemaker Street, an area of London not far from where he was born.
From the Publisher
|Defoe's immensely popular and influential work, published in 1719, tells the story of an English mariner, the sole survivor of a shipwreck, who manages to survive for 28 years on a deserted island in the South Pacific. Defoe's depiction of the hardships and ingenuities of the castaway are masterly, as is his description of loneliness and isolation. He builds a house, teaches himself to grow corn and barley, and bakes bread. When a band of cannibals invades his island, he drives them away, but rescues one of their prisoners--the faithful Friday--who remains with Crusoe until their eventual rescue and return to England.
|Editors Note
|After his vessel is shipwrecked on a deserted island, Robinson Crusoe must rely on his wits to survive alone for nearly twenty-five years.

Yeast is used in bread making to make the dough rise from a dense mass of flour to airy bread. Yeast causes the process of fermentation to happen in bread, which is crucial to the bread rising.Know More
Fermentation is the process by which extra sugars are consumed while carbon dioxide and alcohol are emitted as byproducts from the consumption. The way that carbon dioxide is released from the sugars that are created by yeast is similar to the way that a bubble is blown with a piece of bubblegum. The carbon dioxide infiltrates the small air pockets that are present in the dough and begins to expand them to a level that makes the bread rise.
Gluten is an important product found in bread that makes the bread stay together without crumbling. It works as a type of glue and is present in a network in most types of bread. The addition of yeast to bread dough allows the gluten to become strengthened so that it can increase the network that holds the bread together. Gluten can also be strengthened by kneading the bread dough together. This is evident in the physical appearance of dough. Dough that has not been kneaded looks significantly different from dough that has been.Learn more about Bread
Sourdough French bread and basic homemade bread are two highly rated yeast bread recipes from Taste of Home. Both recipes call for active dry yeast, but the sourdough French bread recipe also requires sourdough starter.Full Answer >
Yeast causes bread dough to rise and strengthens it. Yeast cells reproduce when exposed to the correct combination of flour, temperature and moisture, causing bread to rise. Combining water, flour and yeast converts the mixture into a simple sugar that exudes liquid, releasing carbon dioxide and alcohol into bubbles inside of the dough.Full Answer >
There are many variations of monkey bread, making it difficult to pinpoint where and when monkey bread was first invented. One theory is that monkey bread originated from pans of Parker House crescent rolls baked side-by-side in a Bundt pan, and this method makes it resemble the Chilean monkey tree.Full Answer >
