2/3 of Bernal Mural – Gone
To Sound of Banging Pots & Pans
DPW Paints Out Entire Front and One Side
Of Community-created Victor Jara Work
San Francisco, October 4, 2012 – As protesters banged on pots and pans and blew a whistle, two Department of Public Works workers rolled beige paint over the community-created Victor Jara mural on the Bernal Heights Branch Library this morning, covering over two of the mural's three sides.
First they painted out the right front panel that showed pyramids – Mexican, Egyptian, and San Francisco's Transamerica pyramid – and honored the United Nations, planet Earth, and children. Next they painted out the Victor Jara / Holly Near musical panel on the front left of the library, including the poetry in Spanish and English and the names of the singers.
By lunchtime they had painted over the Moultrie Street side's listing of more than 20 artists who had helped to create the mural, including Arch Williams, who was a member of the Haight Ashbury muralists; Carlos Alcala; Jo Tucker; and Nora Roman, among others. And their paint rollers beiged out what remained of the panel honoring working women – and the people of Bernal heights "pulling down a monument," which "represents the people … working together to change the social conditions which divide and oppress us," as the library's 30-year old opening day description reads.
Nora Roman, whose name is listed on the mural as one of the artists, sent a letter to the City Librarian and other San Francisco officials asserting her rights to 90 days notice under the California Art Preservation Act (CAPA), but the library administration evidently paid no attention.
"Crime in progress," chanted one of the protesters, and then later, "Crime scene."
Peter Warfield, Executive Director of Library Users Association which has worked to preserve the mural for the last year, said it was a sad day for the library and for the City.
"This represents cultural, artistic, and historic destruction – and the stealing of democracy for the neighborhood and the city," he said. Others present to support restoration included Steve Zeltzer of UPWA, and Deetje Boler.
Mr. Warfield said that the mural supporters were considering options for future action.
DPW painters were ordered by the Libary management to paint over the mural despite an appeal from one of the artists to stop the destruction.

Cornerstone University basketball fans are excited as another year of men's basketball is right around the corner. Expectations are high for the men's basketball team after an elite eight appearance in last year's national tournament.
Recently, Andy Smith caught up with Coach Kim Elders to talk about the upcoming 2010-11 basketball season. Since recording this season preview, the preseason poll was announced ranking the men #4 in the country.
During the interview, Coach Elders talks about the team's achievements from last year - winning the Hall of Fame classic, beating Grand Valley by 17, winning the WHAC regular season and tournament championships, and making a run in the national tournament in Branson. Changes come with new seasons for most teams and CU is no exception. Losing Matt Kingshott and Corbin Donaldson to graduation leaves holes to be filled by returning players and newcomers to the team. Coach Elders shares about losing these key players and also about two new players, Wes Hudson and Jake Plite, who he thinks will contribute right away. Despite the loss of last year's seniors, Coach Elders feels that this year's team is deep.
A tough non-conference season, which includes seven straight games on the road, awaits the Golden Eagles beginning November 9 at Grace Bible College. After this tough Grace Bible match up comes the WHAC/MCC challenge on November 12-13. On November 16, CU will make the trip to Ft. Wayne to play St. Francis, the 2010 national champs and current preseason #1 team, setting up a rematch of the quarterfinals from last year's national tourney when St. Francis beat the Golden Eagles. The Hall of Fame classic will take place the weekend of November 26-27 at Aquinas College where CU will take on Hope College (#17 NCAA D3) on Friday night. On December 22 a trip to Mt. Pleasant will wrap up the brutal non-conference season against Central Michigan University.

The Three Dimensions of Requirements Engineering – A Framework and its Applications. Special Issue on Computer Supported Information System Development
In: Information Systems, Jg. 19 (1994) ; Nr. 3, S. 243-258
Zeitschriftenaufsatz / Fach: Wirtschaftswissenschaften
Requirements Engineering (RE) is perceived as an area of growing importance. Due to the increasing effort spent for research in this area many contributions to solve different problems within RE exist. The purpose of this paper is to identify the main goals to be reached during the requirements engineering process in order to develop a framework for RE. This framework consists of the three dimensions: i.)the specification dimension, ii.)the representation dimension and iii.) the agreement dimension. Looking at the RE research using this framework, the different approaches can be classified and therefore their interrelationships become much clearer. Additionally the framework offers a first step towards a common understanding of RE.

This post is from staff writer Honey Smith.
It's been a rough couple of weeks in the Honeycomb. First, my husband Jake's grandfather died. Then, the very next week, we had to put one of our cats down. As a result, I've been spending a lot of time thinking about death and how it affects us, both emotionally and financially.
Funeral logistics: The flight out
Jake's grandfather was 91, and he is survived by his 92-year-old widow (they were married just over 66 years). We knew his health had been declining in recent years; indeed, as you would probably expect at their ages, they both had pretty significant health problems. However, his death was quite sudden (aren't they all?).
When we got the call, we started pricing flights from Arizona to Illinois. We first looked at the major aggregators and the airline websites. Since we were searching for last-minute flights, anything that would get us there in time for the funeral cost just under $900. We would also need to rent a car since we would be heading to the part of Illinois that is over three hours from anything.
At this point, Jake decided that if flights were that expensive he wanted to stay as long as he could reasonably get away from work (about a week). Between the expense and the length of the visit, I decided to stay home and take care of the pets (more on that later). Just when it seemed there was no silver bullet for finding cheap airfare, Jake went to Kayak.com and saw flights for less than $500.
He ended up booking his flight and car on Priceline. GRS readers have had success with careful bidding on Priceline in the past, as evidenced by this video. Since both Jake's flight out and his flights back were flexible as long as he got there in time for the service, this worked great. He got a flight and rental car for six days for $585.
In the meantime, I was feeling guilty for staying home essentially to take care of a cat, so I ended up totally overcompensating by ordering an $80 flower arrangement. Though I did log in through the employee discount portal at my work, so it was less expensive than it would have otherwise been.
Lessons we learned:
Even in your grief, don't forget that you have options at your disposal to save money. I knew about Kayak and Priceline, but they never would have occurred to me. I was super impressed Jake thought of it.
Don't buy flowers when you're crying. Also, those online florists really phrase their descriptions of the bouquets to make you feel like your family will hate you if you don't buy the largest arrangement they offer.
Post-funeral logistics: Stuff and property
I knew one of the biggest concerns for the family would be what happened to Jake's grandmother going forward. She and her husband had been living alone, with the nearest direct family about an hour away. Everyone had pretty much decided that this would no longer be possible even before we learned that she had been falling down a lot and not telling anyone.
I was afraid that she would put up a fight about staying in the house. To everyone's surprise she said she doesn't want to live there without her husband. However, now the two issues that have arisen for the family are: 1) where will she go? and 2) what will happen to their house?
The house is paid off. I think they lived there the entire time they were married. Unfortunately, it's in need of serious renovation. Additionally, as mentioned above, it's in the middle of nowhere. There are no jobs anywhere near their location. It would be a great fixer-upper, I think, for a recently retired couple who was handy and wanted a project.
However, Jake's grandmother really wants to keep the house in the family, to the point where her will deeds the property to her two daughters upon her death. While everyone appreciates the sentiment, the property is unlikely to be used by anyone in the family and will instead be a financial burden.
Lessons we learned:
Estate planning is important, but not just for the reasons commonly talked about. If it's your intention to will Stuff or property to family members, make sure they want it.
Yes, your retirement plans should take into account your young, active retirement (say, traveling the world on the cheap in your sixties). But make sure you also plan for the time when you're unable to live on your own, whether through long-term care insurance or another vehicle.
Logistics when it's not a person: The death of a pet
In April, my cat Max almost died. He was diagnosed with kidney failure and prescribed fluids, which I gave subcutaneously every other day or so. The difference was dramatic, and a month later his blood levels were almost normal. While the fluids cost about $90 per month and he had to be on special food, to me it was a small price to pay. I'd had him since I was 19 and he had been my companion through three degrees, two states and eight apartments.
On July 4, the day after Jake returned from Illinois, Max's breathing was really labored, so we took him to the emergency vet. We were shocked when the x-ray revealed that he had an abdominal tumor. As a result, fluid had built up in his abdomen and chest. You couldn't see any of his organs in the x-ray except his lungs, which were totally squished. No wonder he couldn't breathe.
The vet said the options were either major surgery (which he likely wouldn't survive anyway, plus would be uncomfortable and scared the whole time) or to put him to sleep. We opted for the latter. All in all, his last three months of life ran us about $1300. All the fireworks displays in his honor around the country? Priceless.
Lessons we learned:
Pets are expensive, and they don't live forever. To me, however, they are worth every penny. Fortunately, I had enough in my emergency fund to pay his expenses out of pocket.
I am grateful that I stayed behind to take care of Max while Jake was out of town. I am grateful to Max that he waited until Jake came home to tell us he was ready to go. I am also grateful that his death allowed Jake to open up and talk about his grandfather's passing in a way that I think he otherwise would not have.
Final thought
Aside from that header sounding morbid in light of the subject of this post, I am curious. What have you learned about personal finance in the context of a pet or loved one's death?

|The Game Story:
|PROVIDENCE, R.I. - A total team effort lifted #18 UMass to an 11-10 win over #15 Brown in rainy conditions at Meister-Kavan Field on Tuesday afternoon. Sophomore goalie Tim McCormack made a career-high 17 saves including 10 in the second half for the best performance of his career. Senior Christian Hain scored the go-ahead goal to break a 9-9 tie with 4:03 left in regulation and sophomore Art Kell added the clincher with one minute left as UMass moved to 5-2 overall. The Bears saw their three-game win streak end and fell to 3-2.
Kell was one of four two-goal scorers for the Minutemen, who beat Brown for the first time since 2006. Also netting a pair were sophomores Anthony Biscardi and Steve D'Amario along with freshman Will Manny. Kell also added three assists for a five-point game.
The UMass defense was solid as sophomore Tom Celentani led the way with five groundballs and four caused turnovers. Stephen Zorkers led the Minutemen with six groundballs, many coming on face-offs. UMass dominated the draws early on winning 15 of the first 17 draws in the game. Sophomore Greg Rushing won 11-of-16 and classmate Anthony Toresco captured 5-of-8.
The teams traded scoring runs all game, but UMass had the last three-goal spurt to secure the win. Down 9-8 midway through the fourth quarter, Bobby Hayes tied the game at 9-9 with 6:18 left in regulation to start the final run. Hain gave UMass the lead on a bounce shot off great ball movement as Kell and D'Amario set him up from in close. Kell gave the Minutemen their two-goal advantage, as senior Kevin Wright stripped the ball from Rob Schlesinger with about 80 seconds left and led to a UMass goal into an empty net.
Brown took leads of 6-5 and 9-8 on two of its own three-goal spurts, but UMass was able to answer each time.
UMass took a 5-4 lead into halftime. The Minutemen scored four goals in a row in the second quarter in the span of less than nine minutes to take a 5-3 lead. Andrew Feinberg (4 goals) scored with 10 seconds left in the half to cut the Bears' deficit to one.
The Minutemen's new man-down defensive crew including freshman Ryan Hollenbaugh, sophomores Greg Anderson and Alex Reinhard and junior Brett Newgaard limited Brown to 1-of-5 on EMO.
UMass' big week continues on Saturday as the Minutemen welcome No. 6 Hofstra to Garber Field. It will be the CAA conference opener for both teams.

Chris Gimenez Rumors
Minor Moves: Duran, Fuentes, Bartsch, Gimenez
Here are the day's minor signings from around the league:
- The Mariners have acquired minor league right-hander Sam Gaviglio from the Cardinals in exchange for minor league infielder Ty Kelly, the teams announced. Gaviglio, 24, had a 4.28 ERA with 8.3 K/0 and 3.0 BB/9 in 136 2/3 innings at Double-A this season. He made 25 appearances, with 24 being starts. Kelly, 26, hit .263/.381/.412 with 15 homers and 11 steals at Triple-A. The former Orioles draftee has a lifetime .280/.402/.409 batting line in 841 PA at that level.
Earlier Updates
- Left-hander Omar Duran has agreed to a minor league deal with the Tigers that includes a Spring Training invitation, MLBTR has learned. Duran, 24, had spent his entire career in the Athletics organization, never moving above the Double-A level. But he was consistently productive last year after matching his double-digit strikeout marks with manageable walk totals.
- The Royals announced that they have acquired outfielder Reymond Fuentes from the Padres in exchange for left-hander Kyle Bartsch (Twitter link). Fuentes, 23, was one of the four players San Diego received from the Red Sox in exchange for Adrian Gonzalez. The 23-year-old former first-rounder batted .294/.363/.416 with five homers and went 25-for-28 in stolen base attempts between Double-A and Triple-A in 2014. Bartsch, also 23, spent this season at Class-A Advanced Wilmington where he notched a 2.29 ERA with 8.5 K/9 and 2.0 BB/9 in 55 innings of relief, showing effectiveness against both lefties and righties.
- The Rangers have added catcher Chris Gimenez and righty David Martinez to minor league deals with invitations to camp, the club announced. Gimenez, 31, bounced around quite a bit last year and ultimately managed a .241/.313/.328 line over 128 plate appearances at the big league level — the sixth year in a row that he spent at least some time on an active roster. Martinez, 27, has just 18 1/3 big league frames to his credit and had spent his whole career with the Astros. He has worked in a swingman capacity in the upper minors in recent seasons.

Outrighted: Bass, Mattheus, Walters, Morel
Several players were outrighted off of 40-man rosters today to clear space for players who needed to be protected from the Rule 5 draft:
- The Astros outrighted righty Anthony Bass, the club announced. Bass, 27, has seen his ERA rise over each of the last four years, and he suffered in 2014 from a sudden inability to miss bats.
- Right-handed reliever Ryan Mattheus was outrighted by the Nationals, also per the club. Mattheus has elected free agency. Though he has been effective in long stretches at times in D.C., Mattheus never regained his place in the bullpen after breaking his hand last May. The 31-year-old, out-of-options righty should certainly find a club willing to give him a chance to earn a job out of camp.
- The Mets announced that Jeff Walters has been removed from the 40-man. A 27-year-old right-hander, Walters has yet to see MLB action. He struggled mightily in 2014, his first attempt at Triple-A, and ultimately was diagnosed with a torn UCL that required Tommy John surgery.
- The Pirates announced that infielder Brent Morel has been outrighted. Morel has seen relatively scant MLB time since a run with the White Sox in 2011. Last year, at Triple-A, he slashed .271/.335/.375 over 376 plate appearances.

Indians Outright Chris Gimenez, Re-Sign Tyler Cloyd
The Indians announced today that they have outrighted catcher Chris Gimenez off the 40-man roster and re-signed right-hander Tyler Cloyd to a minor league deal with an invite to big league Spring Training.
Gimenez, 32 in December, batted .241/.313/.328 in 116 plate appearances for the Rangers and Indians this season. The journeyman backstop has seen Major League action with Texas, Cleveland, Tampa and Seattle in parts of six seasons at the big league level, totaling a .210/.297/.302 batting line. He'll have the option to hit the open market and should draw interest from teams in need of catching depth, especially given this year's thin crop of free agent catchers.
Cloyd, 27, spent the year in the rotation at Triple-A Columbus after being claimed off waivers from the Phillies around this time last year. He pitched to a 3.89 ERA with 6.4 K/9 and 1.7 BB/9 in 166 2/3 innings in his first year with the Cleveland organization.

Indians Acquire Chris Gimenez
The Indians have acquired catcher Chris Gimenez from the Rangers in return for future considerations, tweets Anthony Andro of FOX Sports Southwest.
The teams have confirmed the deal via press release. Gimenez, who was formerly with the Rangers Triple-A affiliate, will head straight to the Indians roster to fill in for the injured Yan Gomes.
Prior to the trade, Gimenez split time between the Rangers major league roster and Triple-A Round Rock. This season at the major league level, he hit .262/.331/.355 in 118 plate appearances. He might be best used in a platoon. He's hit .282/.366/.366 in 162 career plate appearances against left-handed pitching. Defensive reports indicate that Gimenez is average or better. The Catcher Report at StatCorner.com rates Gimenez as three runs above average in his limited work this season.
Cleveland will be the 31-year-old catcher's third organization of the year and fourth since the end of the 2013 season. He finished last year with the Rays, who lost him to the Athletics on waivers in December. The Athletics re-signed Gimenez in March to a one-year, $510,000 contract. They lost him on waivers to the Rangers later that month. To add a little extra spice to his recent transaction history, Texas outrighted Gimenez at the start of the season. Gimenez initially refused the assignment but ultimately signed a minor league deal to remain with the Rangers.
It has come full circle for Gimenez, who started his career with the Indians. He spent parts of two seasons with Cleveland before joining the Mariners as a minor league free agent in 2011. He moved on to Tampa Bay in 2012. Despite never accruing more than 130 plate appearances in a single season, Gimenez has appeared in the majors in six straight seasons.
For the Indians, Gimenez represents essential insurance. Gomes is out indefinitely with what is described as a "mild concussion." The club has former catcher Carlos Santana available, but he hasn't started behind the plate since late May. He's dealt with his own concussion problems this season, so it's likely he remain the club's primary first baseman. Cleveland also has Roberto Perez on the active roster. The 25-year-old may receive the majority of the playing time due to solid minor league numbers, including a .305/.405/.517 line with eight home runs in 209 plate appearances.

Minor Moves: Hill, O'Sullivan, Sale, Daley, Gimenez, Thomas
Here are today's minor moves …
- The Tigers inked right-hander Shawn Hill to a minor league deal today, as James Wagner of the Toledo Blade reports on Twitter. Hill, 33, has seen mostly scattered MLB action since taking 28 starts for the Nationals over the 2007-08 seasons. He has a 4.87 ERA through 105 1/3 innings (4.7 K/9 against 2.2 BB/9) in the upper minors this year with the White Sox and Blue Jays organizations.
- The Phillies have outrighted Sean O'Sullivan to Triple-A, according to the International League transactions page. The righty accepted a previous outright assignment earlier this year, but will once again have the right to elect free agency instead.
- Rays prospect Josh Sale has been hit with a 50-game suspension for recreational drug use, MLB announced today. This is hardly the first brush with trouble for the 23-year-old former first-round pick, who came into the 2013 season rated Tampa's 24th-best prospect by Baseball America. After a previous drug-related suspension, Sale missed all of last year when the team banned him for inappropriate conduct. He had slashed .238/.313/.344 over 361 plate appearances on the year at the High-A level.
- After reporting earlier today that Matt Daley has accepted an outright assignment from the Yankees, MLB Daily Dish's Chris Cotillo tweets that Daley has actually been optioned by the club. The righty still occupies a 40-man spot.
- Catcher Chris Gimenez has accepted an outright assignment from the Rangers rather than electing free agency, tweets John Blake, the club's executive VP of communications. The 31-year-old was designated for assignment five days ago, and apparently has not found a better opportunity with another organization.
- The Phillies have released outfielder Clete Thomas, Cotillo tweets. The 30-year-old has seen 794 MLB plate appearances in parts of four seasons, but had not been elevated by Philadelphia this season. Over 226 minor league plate appearances, he carries a .247/.345/.335 slash.
Earlier Updates
Baseball America's Matt Eddy has posted his weekly look at minor league transactions from around the league from the past seven days. We'll highlight a couple of the (relatively) notable names that were missed in the past week:
- Eddy reports that the Cardinals have released southpaw Pedro Feliciano from his minor league deal. The 37-year-old, once an excellent setup man with the Mets, pitched to a 5.57 ERA with 8.1 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9 in 21 frames with Triple-A Memphis this season.
- The Reds have released left-hander Scott Maine, Eddy reports. The former Cub was inked to a minor league deal in June after pitching well for the independent Atlantic League's Bridgeport Bluefish, but he posted a 6.10 ERA in 10 1/3 innings with the Reds organization.
- The Athletics have released first baseman/third baseman B.A. Vollmuth, tweets Eddy. Vollmuth, a third-rounder as recently as 2011, batted just .207/.278/.341 this season at Class A Beloit. The 24-year-old has yet to move above the Class-A Advanced level and a has a .702 OPS in his pro career.

Minor Moves: Marte, Pridie, Lee, Daley, Gimenez, Sizemore, Carpenter
Here are today's minor moves from around the game:
- The Diamondbacks have outrighted Andy Marte to Triple-A, according to the MLB.com transactions page. Marte was designated for assignment on August 7.
- The Rockies have outrighted Jason Pridie to Triple-A. Pridie was designated for assignment on August 6.
- Diamondbacks farmhand Michael Lee has been traded to the Blue Jays and assigned to Double-A, according to the PCL's transactions page. This season, the 27-year-old righty mostly worked out of the Diamondbacks Double-A rotation, where he compiled 4.49 ERA, 5.26 K/9, and 2.50 BB/9 over 104 innings and one-third innings. He also made two similarly effective starts in Triple-A. No word on what Arizona received in return.
- Righty Matt Daley was has been outrighted by the Yankees, per the International League transactions page. Daley had been designated for assignment yesterday, and apparently went right onto waivers.
- Catcher Chris Gimenez of the Rangers has cleared outright waivers and is at least exploring the possibility of electing free agency, according to a tweet from Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. If he does hit the open market, the Rays would have interest, says Topkin.
- The Yankees have re-signed infielder Scott Sizemore to a minor league deal, reports MLB.com's Bryan Hoch (via Twitter). He will go right onto the Triple-A disabled list. The 29-year-old, who has not seen significant MLB action since 2011, was released just over a week ago by New York.
- Reliever David Carpenter has accepted an outright assignment with the Angels rather than electing free agency, tweets Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com. The 26-year-old righty — not to be confused with the Braves pitcher of the same name — was designated for assignment a week ago today. Over 49 Triple-A innings this year, Carpenter has a 2.20 ERA with 8.8 K/9 and 3.9 BB/9.
- The Yankees have announced that they've unconditionally released infielder Brian Roberts, who they designated for assignment at the end of July. The Yankees also placed catcher Brian McCann on the 7-day concussion DL and recalled Austin Romine to take his place on the active roster. The Yankees signed Roberts to a one-year, $2MM deal before the season, but he hit just .237/.300/.360 in 348 plate appearances with them.
- The Marlins have selected Brad Penny's contract, according to the MLB.com transactions page. Penny will start tonight against Alfredo Simon and the Reds. Penny is ultimately replacing Jacob Turner on the roster (although, officially, the Marlins cleared space for Penny by optioning Edgar Olmos to Triple-A New Orleans). As MLBTR's Steve Adams points out, it's questionable whether Penny will be better than Turner in the short term, even before considering the years of control Turner has left. Penny did pitch well in five Triple-A starts, however. Tonight will be his first big-league appearance since 2012, and his first appearance with the Marlins since 2004.

Rangers Designate Chris Gimenez For Assignment
The Rangers have announced that they've designated catcher Chris Gimenez for assignment. He had been on the paternity list since Monday.
Gimenez collected 118 plate appearances for the Rangers this season, hitting .262/.331/.355. The 31-year-old journeyman has also played for the Indians, Mariners and Rays. Geovany Soto, who suffered a groin injury in July, is five games into a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock, and the Rangers could soon reinstate him to take Gimenez's spot on the Rangers' active roster.

West Links: Guerrero, Dodgers, A's, Arencibia
Dodgers infield prospect Alex Guerrero could miss up to five weeks after having part of his ear bitten off in an altercation with Triple-A teammate Miguel Olivo, reports Danny Knobler of ESPNLosAngeles.com. Agent Scott Boras told Knobler that Guerrero was taken to a hospital and had plastic surgery on the ear. GM Ned Colletti wouldn't comment on potentially disciplining either player, though he expressed disappointment in the situation. Colletti said Guerrero is close to Major League ready, though the team wants him to continue to improve defensively. Obviously, that development will be on hold for awhile. As we process one of the most bizarre storylines in recent memory, here's more from the game's Western divisions…
- The timing of the Guerrero/Olivo scuffle couldn't be much worse for Guerrero or the Dodgers, as MLB.com's Ken Gurnick writes that Juan Uribe could be headed to the DL. Gurnick looks at alternatives on the 40-man roster but also notes that with the Dodgers needing a roster spot for Hyun-jin Ryu, the team may not call up an infielder right away.
- MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince points out that the Athletics' only two homegrown (i.e. drafted and developed) players on the current active roster are Sonny Gray and Sean Doolittle. The team signed Yoenis Cespedes after he defected from Cuba, every other player was acquired via trade or signed as a free agent from another club. Castrovince looks at the team's offense and their usage of platoons, which led rival skipper Terry Francona to sing the praises of manager Bob Melvin.
- Rangers catcher J.P. Arencibia has been optioned to Triple-A Round Rock, and the team has purchased the contract of veteran Chris Gimenez, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram tweeted last night. Arencibia signed a one-year deal with Texas after being non-tendered by Toronto last winter, but he batted just .133/.182/.233 in 66 PA. No team has gotten less offense from the catcher position than Texas this season, and it wouldn't surprise me to see them pursue upgrades on the trade market.

Rangers Re-Sign Chris Gimenez
The Rangers have re-signed catcher Chris Gimenez to a minor league deal, according to the MLB transactions page. Gimenez had become a free agent after declining an outright assignment from the club just days ago, but ultimately elected to return.
Gimenez, 31, will serve as depth for a Rangers club that is currently relying on J.P. Arencibia and Robinson Chirinos at the MLB level while waiting for Geovany Soto to return from injury. He joins Chris Snyder as the top options behind that pair. In Triple-A last year, Gimenez hit .224/.350/.305 in 375 plate appearances, though he had much better numbers (.310/.389/.483 in 301 plate appearances) the year prior.

Free Agent Notes: Gimenez, Hanrahan, Available Players
All remains relatively quiet on the compensation free agent front — as you may have heard, Stephen Drew and Kendrys Morales remain unsigned, though each is now freed of the possibility of receiving another QO next year if they sign a one-year deal. While there have been rumblings that Morales could be approaching a contract, specifics remain unclear. Nevertheless, there is still a good bit of motion among some less-heralded names in the season's early going. Here's the latest:
- Free agent catcher Chris Gimenez, recently (albeit briefly) of the Rangers, has standing offers from three teams, reports Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com (Twitter links). The Rays, Athletics, and Rangers have all made offers, says Cotillo, while the Cubs also have interest.
- Joel Hanrahan is among the few intriguing relief arms still available, and the righty is preparing for a showcase in a few weeks, according to Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News. The Mets are one of the teams that are expected to take a close look at Hanrahan, says Ackert, while her colleague Andy Martino tweets that the Yankees have also been monitoring the 32-year-old.
- A host of other players remains available, as reflected in MLBTR's list of the 2014 free agents. Among the names that could draw interest are Francisco Cordero, Ryan Madson, Freddy Garcia, Yorvit Torrealba, and Jamey Carroll. Also, of course, several options are still in DFA limbo. Vin Mazzaro of the Pirates is due for action today. Otherwise, Frank Herrmann (Indians), Jeremy Jeffress (Blue Jays), Hector Noesi (Mariners), Pedro Ciriaco (Royals), and Mike Baxter (Dodgers) are all candidates for new homes.

A unique 17th-century treasure trove
This rare and atmospheric 17th-century house sits on the banks of the River Thames in Richmond. It is the creation of the tenacious Duchess of Lauderdale and her husband, the Duke, who together transformed Ham into one of the grandest Stuart houses in England.
Ham House is internationally recognised for its superb collection of paintings, furniture and textiles, largely acquired 400 years ago. Some of our unique objects include a rare Chinese teapot, said to have been used by the Duchess herself, and the exotic ivory cabinet. The house is reputed to be one of the most haunted in Britain. Some visitors have reported the ghostly aroma of the sweet Virginia pipe tobacco that the Duke smoked after meals in the dining room.
You can now visit the hands-on below stairs rooms with just a garden ticket. The bathroom, complete with a wooden bathtub and bed, illustrates how baths were taken before washing became an everyday event.
Outside, the open and formal restored 17th-century gardens surround the house. It includes a productive kitchen garden containing many heritage crops, the maze-like 'Wilderness', complete with summerhouses, and many beautiful spots perfect for a picnic.
The newly refurbished Orangery café set in the kitchen garden serves light lunches and teas. The café is set in one of the first examples of an Orangery, however it was not an ideal building for plants to grow as the windows are small and very little light could reach the orange and lemon trees.
Explore the capital
Ham House sits on the Thames and we're easily accessible from London. Our rich and diverse capital city is brimming with heritage attractions. Where will you explore next?

Would love to hear from anyone interested in any of the above.

PAWTUCKET – Story of this winter: Another bad weather day, another round of postponed boys' basketball games to be added to the "compressed schedule."
Tolman High coach Mike Kayata was singing this tune on Wednesday afternoon. School had been postponed for a variety of good reasons, beginning with the snow and sleet and ice that have been falling out of the sky for the past two days. Wednesday night's home game with Ponaganset was postponed until Feb. 16, two days after the original regular season had been scheduled to end, back before January, 2011 became famous for its compressed snow schedule.
"No school, no basketball," Kayata said with a sigh. "We can't even practice with school out. But it's okay for us. Maybe our guys need a break. We will practice (Thursday) to get ready for Friday night's game at North Providence. We'll practice on Saturday and focus on Shea, who we play on Monday.
"We have three games scheduled next week," Kayata added. "We're cramming everything in because of the compressed schedule. The guys might be getting a little tired. A day off won't hurt them at this point."
Tolman takes an 8-5 league record into Friday night's game. North Providence is 9-3 on the season and features an up-tempo offense. Guard Austin VanBemmelen dropped 51 points on Central Falls this past Monday night. He averages nearly 23 points per game. Backcourt mate Mike Ferrante averages close to 21 points per game.
"They have two really good scorers," Kayata said. "Van Bemmelen is a great shooter. Ferrante is more of a slasher, a tough kid. We have our hands full with their two guards. We have good guards, too, but they have better height in the backcourt. Speed-wise, I think we can run with them."
Shea High proved it could run with the Cougars in an epic game played at the Raiders' gym back on Dec. 20. Shea outran North Providence to the tune of 94-92 in a game that left everyone who saw it shaking their heads in amazement.
Tolman doesn't have quite the same personnel that Shea had for that game. The Tigers might need to impose their physical will on the Cougars, especially under the basket.
"We need to up our intensity on the defensive end," Kayata said. "And we need to rebound the ball better."
The Tigers are led by point guard Rodney Bustillo, a 5-foot-9 player who looks to set up his teammates before taking his own shot. Bustillo scored the game-winning layup with seven seconds left in overtime to beat Cumberland last Friday night.
"That shot came right out of our half-court set," Kayata said, still pleased at the memory of his team performing so well with the game on the line. "Rodney is our most consistent overall player right now."

Primary care inspector appointed by CQC
The Care Quality Commission has appointed its first chief inspector of general practice who will lead work on regulating the quality of primary care services.
High profile GP Professor Steve Field has been appointed to the role where he will oversee the inspection of providers of primary care services across the public, private and independent sectors.
As part of the role, he will introduce a ratings system for registered primary care providers, which will identify good and poor care.
Professor Field said: "It's an opportunity to make sure that all organisations are encouraged to live up to the standards of the best."
His appointment follows that of similar chief inspector roles for hospitals and social care, which were announced earlier this year as part of the CQC's new inspection model.
CQC chief executive David Behan said: "It is important that the chief inspector of general practice is trusted not only by his peers in primary care, but leaders, staff, and managers throughout the NHS."
Professor Field, a past chair of the Royal College of GPs, joins the CQC from NHS England, where he was deputy national medical director responsible for addressing health inequalities.
He will continue to practice as a GP at Bellevue Medical Centre in Birmingham.

I thought this was the best showing of Terra Nova so far.
Sure Shannon couldn't catch a cold and the 6er leader appears to have a special Taylor locater, but it was still a good showing.
My favorite part of the show is watching Shannon annoy Malcolm and intimidate the young solider who wants to marry his 16 year old daughter, lol, always makes me smile :)
Now You See Me
The latest episode of "Terra Nova" is further evidence that the more the series shifts its focus from family Shannon gets better results. The problem is not the young age of the characters (which is no shortage of examples of good series / movies whose protagonists are children or adolescents), but its depth, which is practically zero. This is clearly reflected in the line of argument in this episode that involves Zoe (Alana Mansour) and baby dinosaur, which in the end, the whole clan comes Shannon immersed in happiness as if they were posing for a family photograph, revealing again they are nothing more than archetypes of all the families of all family-themed films ever may have seen. They are too common to arouse some interest and when the writers try to reveal as much as it turns out to look hollow.
Fortunately, this "Now You See Me" Shannon leaves a little to one side (except for Jim, because, after all, he is still the protagonist of this story) and is dedicated to delve into some of the supporting characters, those characters who can prove It is more attractive as well.
We again have the Commander Taylor (Stephen Lang) as one of the highlights, one that is clearly the most well crafted character in this series and, consequently, one whose route allows better stories. This time, we have it for almost the whole episode of what will be accompanied by one of the great antagonists of this season, Mira (Christine Adams). By itself, the actress already has a charismatic screen presence and enigmatic enough to easily make me interested in what she has to say. And in this episode, we have the opportunity to know a little deeper.
Although backstory its original is not the most usual, it was used to make the figure more compliant. I think there's any more interest if we are behind acts of villainy considered reasons that we manage to identify. Not all terrorists because they are just wanting to practice evil but simply because something caused them to become what they are. And Mira is clearly one such case. For us, for Taylor and for the people of Newfoundland it can be seen as a terrorist, a bad tape, but that does not mean behind their acts there is no reason minimally acceptable or at least minimally understood.
Who also had the opportunity to "get out of the shadow" was the Skye (Allison Miller), who is revealed in this episode as a spy that has been the focus of much attention in Newfoundland. Well, besides not being an obvious choice (honestly, I was not able to have occurred) is not a safe choice. The choice would choose to secure one by now, it had many eyes on, for example, Malcolm (Rod Hallett). The fact that the Skye not only provided a plot twist that brings the potential to bring some depth to a character who so far had been very little explored. However, this does not invalidate that some evidence presented in this episode are apparently nonsense, like the fact that the Sixers needed Josh (Landon Liboiron) for this to steal drugs, as they have in their possession a drug to the mother Skye's for three years and that, moreover, does not seem exisitr in the colony?
"Terra Nova" is the final three episodes of the season and these last two episodes it seems that finally found its way. The problem is that surely have been too late ...moreless
Now You See Me
Now You See Me was a great episode of Terra Nova and I really enjoyed watching this episode because there was a lot of action and intrigue as well as character and plot development. It was great to see Taylor and Mira interact out in the Jungle and work together. The Mole is finally revealed and it is pretty surprising at first, but looking back it makes perfect sense. This episode felt like what the series should be. I look forward to watching more episodes!!!!!!!moreless
Now You See Me
Were do I begin ...? This Episode was nothing more than a walk in the cliche, I cant think of a single scene that had any elements of originality and the number of plot holes in the episode were massive here are a few. 1. Tera Nova has Security Cameras, They have had break ins and they have enemies and some how they don't have security cameras in one of the most important buildings to the colony. Skye should have never been able to mess with that sample. 2. Jim is one sad Cop He dint think to look for more blood and again for a colony with a security breach were are security cams. 3. of all the reflective surfaces in all the places she had to use a broken mirror really, I mean don't they have make up kits in Tera Nova or any other reflective objects? 4. Sixers have no medical Supplies but amazingly they have the cure to the most deadly desease in Tera Nova, Tera Nova on the other hand has all the medicine but not for the most deadly desease. Besides how can it be a cure if three years on the desease is still affecting the person shouldn't they have heeled by now. 5. The spy is doing it for her sick mother, Mira for Her Sick daughter, Not Plot holes but Cliches that are as good as.
6. Sky as the Spy, it was written all over her from the first scene she was introduced
7. Tylor and Mira putting thier difference aside to fight a common foe and bond a little then end with a warning for each other, what else can I say, what else...? its the oldest of all cliches
Finally Reynolds is just Weired, I have no Idea who in the world is writting about that kid, there so many ways to be a gentle man but to act like u are in the 1800s and declare you intentions for a SIXTEEN year old girl, PLEASE whgo on earth is directing and producing this?
There were more problems but these were the worst of them.moreless

Kidnapped journalists released in Syria
Two journalists of the pro-government TV station Al-Ikhbariya and their driver who were kidnapped on August 10, 2012, were freed by the Syrian army six days later, according to the state news agency SANA.
Two journalists of the pro-government TV station Al-Ikhbariya and their driver who were kidnapped on August 10, 2012, were freed by the Syrian army six days later, according to the state news agency SANA.
New York, August 15, 2012--Unidentified armed men on Monday kidnapped a correspondent for Al-Alam, an Iranian satellite broadcaster supportive of the Syrian government, the latest incident in a series of abductions and attacks against pro-government media in Syria, according to news reports.
New York, August 14, 2012--A series of attacks against journalists in Syria over the past two weeks have included the killing of at least three journalists and the kidnapping of several others, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. Pro-government media have borne the brunt of the recent attacks.

The 17-year-old videographer Anas al-Tarsha regularly filmed clashes and military movements in the city of Homs in Syria, and posted the footage on YouTube. On February 24, he was killed by a mortar round while filming the bombardment of the city's Qarabees district, according to news reports. The central city had been under attack for more than three weeks as Syrian forces stepped up their assault on opposition strongholds.
The Syrian civil war is also a propaganda war. With the Assad regime and the rebels both attempting to assure their supporters and the world that they are on the brink of victory, how the facts are reported has become central to the struggle. Hackers working in support of Assad loyalists this week decided to take a shortcut, attacking the Reuters news agency's blogging platform and one of its Twitter accounts, and planting false stories about the vanquishing of rebel leaders and wavering support for them from abroad.
New York, July 18, 2012--Two Iraqi journalists living in Syria and covering the conflict in that country were killed on Saturday although news reports differed on crucial details. The Committee to Protect Journalists continues to investigate the circumstances of the deaths, which come amid reports of increasing violence toward Iraqis living in Syria.
New York, June 27, 2012--A number of employees for the pro-government Syrian television station Al-Ikhbariya were killed when the station was attacked by gunmen this morning, according to the official news agency Sana. Other employees were reported wounded or kidnapped, the agency said.

Why the immense popularity of Cinderella? More than 1,500 versions of the basic story have been recorded around the world seeming to have made its way to Europe from Asia. The story appeared in The Miscellaneous Record of Yu Yang, a book which dates from the T'ang dynasty (618-907 A.D.). The author was Tuan Ch'eng-Shih. Martin writes, "To see good rewarded and evil punished, or justice, is rare. Stories, however, pass on the realities not of the everyday world but of the human heart. One way in which the universal yearning for justice has been kept alive is by the many tales of Cinderella .In each version, the cruel and thoughtless at last get their just reward, as do those who are kind and good" (Martin, title page). The Cinderella literature includes traditional tales, the traditional French versions, novels, poems, and spin-offs and parodies.

Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
extremely poor I went with my 3 friends around europe and in Vienna we booked Blue Corridor Hostel. We arrived after midnight and to our horror the lady with long white hair was very rude and we almost ended up in a big argument. She was down right rude and demanded us to pay the balance by cash. We booked for 2 nights. The rooms are like prison (I think prison is better) and the bathroom was filty and when I tried to lock the bathroom, the knob just drop off! We had a nightmare taying there and ended awake the whole night. The next morning we just moved to another hostel. Blue Corridor was the worst hostel I ever stay in my life! — patricia, malaysia (2009-09-24)
Rough experience Overcharged and difficult to get refund. — Michael, NAmerica (2009-09-08)
Worst Hostel I've ever had the displeasure of staying in! I stayed for a few nights in May 2007. It was really warm out and the tiny, tiny room was stuffy (and didn't really have a window). The shared bathrooms were frightening, and worst of all, the staff was so rude! I'm surprised this place stays in business! — tater, USA (2008-09-08)
Look for another place They will treat you like garbage, the owner is simply a bitch. Too many beds for the room, nothing is clean. One toilet for fifty people. Rooms are separated by sheets and not by walls. — Javier, Spain (2008-07-13)
The environment just like a prison! The owner divided the flat into many rooms, so every room is very, very, very small and without any decoration! Imagine the environment in the prison! Some rooms even have no windows! Horrible! And the lock of the bathroom is out of order! so it is a true shared bathroom because everyone can enter the bathroom even when you are taking shower -- really inconvenient! And I do think that the staffs there should change their attitudes when providing services. — Chan, Hong Kong (2007-07-03)
I would like to express my extreme UNSATISFACTION with BLUE CORRIDOR HOSTEL, in Vienna. Here is the story in a nutshell: a month ago, I booked a DOUBLE BEDROOM WITH PRIVATE FACILITIES. Upon arriving at the hostel, the lady at the reception urged me to pay the balance first (in cash) and only then she showed the room. To our astonishment, the room we were given was a BUNK (literally less than 4sq.metres, with 2 small beds on top of each other) and had NO WINDOW. In addition to that, THERE WERE NO PRIVATE FACILITIES: only a bathroom to share with the occupants of the other rooms. Upon our politely pointing out the discrepancy between what we had booked and what we were being given, both the lady at the reception and the hostel manager prooved extremely rude and unacceptably unprofessional. They kept claiming that in Austria "double bedroom (doppel bett zimmer) with private facilities" means two beds on top of each other and a bathroom close enough to the bedroom, regardless of how many people have access to it. They yelled at us that we should not go to Vienna without speaking fluent german. We have travelled in many Countries throughout the 5 continents and we have stayed at countless hostels providing true self-contained double bedrooms. We were never confronted with such an unwelcoming attitude. Despite our repeated requests, the manager refused to reimburse us for the room (for which we paid in cash and which we never used). We are disgusted. I think the manager of blue corridor hostel should use the words "double bedroom" and "private facilities" more sparingly, since THERE ARE NO PRIVATE FACILITIES IN THE WHOLE HOSTEL. In addition to that, I think he should mention that what he calls "double bedroom" IS IN FACT A BUNK and that these rooms have NO WINDOWS. I hope people who book know what to expect. I just thought I should let you know, so other travellers can be on guard. — traveller (2005-09-01)

Think for a Change
What can executives learn from a women's liberal-arts college in Milwaukee? The most important lesson: how to turn their companies into learning organizations.
At first glance, Alverno College appears unremarkable. With a campus of tan buildings on the south side of Milwaukee, it has just under 2,000 undergraduate students, all of whom are women, many of whom come to class on a typical day in hooded sweatshirts and ponytails. But appearances can be misleading: Alverno has been internationally recognized for its innovations in education. The reason why is both simple and revolutionary: Its students are actually learning.
They aren't cramming for exams or worrying about grades (at Alverno, grades don't exist). What they're doing, says president Sister Joel Read, is "accepting responsibility for their own work." And the methods that Alverno has created to help its students do so have won the school praise from U.S. News & World Report, which consistently rates Alverno among the best liberal-arts colleges in the Midwest, and has resulted in grants from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Pew Charitable Trusts, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
"At the core of our philosophy is the idea of the student being conscious of what learning means as she goes through her life," says Sister Austin Doherty, director of the Alverno College Institute, which works with other educators who are interested in replicating Alverno's best practices. "When a student graduates from Alverno, it's not like, 'I got the degree. That's it.' It's more like, 'This was the formal setting where I focused on how to raise questions and make judgments.' "
Or, as someone once told Read in reference to Alverno's curriculum, "You put together book smarts and street smarts."
Alverno arrived at its methodology first by looking inward — and then by taking chances. Founded in 1887 to educate the School Sisters of Saint Francis (the order to which both Doherty and Read belong — although today, only about 15% of the current faculty are sisters, and about two-thirds of the students are not Catholic), Alverno was established as a four-year liberal-arts college in 1946. In the late 1960s, when Read was hired as president, she and her colleagues found themselves questioning the most basic ideas about what it meant for a student to earn a baccalaureate degree. Their soul-searching prompted the defining development in the school's history: The administration abolished grades and replaced them with an "ability-based curriculum." That curriculum requires students to demonstrate competence in eight categories, including communication and effective citizenship.
"Some people have the idea that because Alverno doesn't have any grades, it's really easy," says senior Rebecca Mecklenburg. "If anything, it's harder. Instead of just getting a blanket A, you have to meet all these different criteria." Not, Mecklenburg is quick to add, that that's a bad thing. Meeting the criteria means taking ownership of material — not memorizing facts, but absorbing information in a lasting, comprehensive way.
Of course, without grades, measuring the absorption of such information can be tricky, which is where Alverno's elaborate system of assessment comes in. There's the assessment from professors, which Mecklenburg says is often "whole pages of feedback," along with student-teacher conferences. And then there's the self-assessment that accompanies every test and paper. After students have turned in papers on Taoism in Mecklenburg's class on Chinese culture, for example, the professor handed out a self-assessment form that noted, "Good writers realize that they will actually always do three essays: There is the essay you plan and prepare to write, the essay you write, and the essay you should have written. Tell me about the essay you should have written."
Students can also develop a greater awareness of their own work by watching videotapes of their in-class speeches and presentations and by maintaining portfolios — formerly paper, now digital — of their greatest academic hits.
Alverno is distinguished not only by its faculty and its student assessments, but also by the presence of outside assessors. Roughly 500 professionals — from a financial planner to a fire captain — visit Alverno a few times a semester. Assessors might watch as students make a group presentation but individually focus on a particular student. The student and the assessor would then meet.
"If you teach students differently, you have to assess them differently," says Doherty. "You can't use a pencil-and-paper test to assess whether someone works effectively with other people." The outside assessors also help ground the dialogue in the real and practical. That's a priority for the faculty as well as for the students, many of whom are much older than typical undergrads and balance the demands of families and jobs. (In 1977, the college began offering alternative weekend classes for such students.)
People around the world are paying attention to Alverno's new standards for undergraduate education. Each year, the Institute plays host to about 300 visitors who come from as far away as New Zealand on behalf of institutions as varied as medical schools, K - 12 schools, and community colleges. And internally, the Institute leads the way in innovation. After all, those in charge at Alverno don't simply assess the students — they continually assess the school itself. They do it by thinking about the increasingly complex world in which their students live and about the skills that will help the women of Alverno navigate that world. "Education has to be related to life," Read says. "It cannot be an abstraction."
Curtis Sittenfeld (email@example.com) writes from Iowa City, Iowa. Learn more about Alverno College on the Web (www.alverno.edu).
Sidebar: Habits of Mind
Sister Joel Read, president of Alverno College for 33 years, takes a simple, straightforward approach to life: She lives in a convent with five other sisters, drives a Chevy Cavalier, and answers her own phone. Read's conversational style is similarly no-nonsense — even when it means expressing ideas about higher education that some people would rather not hear.
"When I gave talks at other institutions, I'd get the question about how they could do what Alverno does," Read says. "I'd ask them about their sports teams, and they'd tell me about all the people that they involved, the scouts they had all over the country. Then if I asked, 'Why can't you do that for the mind?' — that would stop the talk.
"There's a coach for everything, from how you move your leg to how you raise your arm. They videotape the athletes; they spend all week analyzing the last game. But institutions don't do that for their students in general — they just do it for the athletes."
At Alverno (where athletic teams, known as the Inferno, are a modest affair), Read has observed academic breakthroughs as exhilarating as any sports victory. "A freshman came up to me at an event," Read recalls. "She told me she had been in chemistry class, and the professor had done a derivation of a formula. The student said, 'I put my hand up, and I said, "I think there's a way that's even more effective." I walked to the front, did the derivation, explained it, and walked back to my seat.' The student told me, 'A year ago, I would never have done that.'
"It was," Read says, "like she'd had a slam dunk."
