Catcher Chris Snyder to sign with Angels
Veteran catcher Chris Snyder, released by the Nationals this morning, has agreed to terms with the Angels on a minor league deal and will report to major league camp on Tuesday, General Manager Jerry Dipoto confirmed.
Hank Conger, who was the leading candidate to win the Angels backup catcher job, has been struggling with his throwing all spring, to the point that Manager Mike Scioscia expressed concern. Conger has not merely been having trouble throwing out runners, but he's thrown several balls into the outfield.
Dipoto chose not to address Conger's throwing issues in relation to the Snyder acquisition, saying only that the Angels wanted to add to the race for backup catcher.
"We want catching depth," Dipoto said. "We are looking to provide Mike and the staff with as many options as we can. Chris comes in on a minor league contract so hes going to have to compete for a spot. John Hester and Hank Conger and Luke Carlin all have a chance to win that job, as does Chris."
Snyder has an out in his contract. If he does not make the opening day roster he can reject an assignment to Triple-A and become a free agent.
Snyder, 32, has spent nine years in the big leagues, with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Pittsburgh Pirates and Houston Astros. He was in camp this spring with the Nationals, where he hit .222 in 18 spring training at-bats.
Snyder is a career .225 hitter with a .329 on base percentage. He has thrown out 29 percent of would-be base-stealers in his career, which is just slighly higher than the major league average of 27 percent over that span.
Last season Snyder hit .176 in 258 at-bats with the Astros. He threw out 17 of 60 runners (22 percent) trying to steal.
Conger has thrown out 20 percent of runners in his brief major league career, which in itself is not an insurmoutable weakness. The issue was the throwing errors.
Conger has one remaining option, so he could be sent to Triple-A without being exposed to waivers.

obama to honor lincoln, king
ATLANTA President Barack Obama plans to take the oath of office for his second term with his hand on two Bibles, one owned by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and one owned by Abraham Lincoln. As he takes the oath, Obama will face the Lincoln Memorial, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech 50 years ago this August.
Obama will take his oath on the holiday honoring the slain icon, marking what some say is an inextricable tie between the nation's first black president and the civil rights movement.
"It's almost like fate and history coming together," said U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., who worked alongside King in the fight for civil rights during the 1950s and '60s and plans to attend the inauguration. "If it hadn't been for Martin Luther King Jr., there would be no Barack Obama as president."
Having the president call for her father's Bible was a special moment, Bernice King said. "What a significant honor," she said. "To me, it's like another elevation for my father."

Fouad Ajami: Obama and the Eisenhower StandardRoundup: Historians' Take
Mr. Ajami is a senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution and co-chair of Hoover's Working Group on Islamism and the International Order.
On Nov. 6, 1956, Election Day, to be precise, President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent a brief message to British Prime Minister Anthony Eden: "We have given our whole thought to Hungary and the Middle East. I don't give a damn how the election goes."
Eisenhower could afford that kind of attitude—he was a genuine American hero in World War II, and there was no chance of his losing his bid for a second term to the inconsequential Adlai Stevenson. But the election came, as the historian David Nichols put it, during a "perfect storm." Britain and France had invaded Egypt under the guise of bringing to a halt fighting in the Suez Canal between Egypt and Israel, and the Soviet Union had deemed this the right time to crush a Hungarian bid for freedom.
Ours is a different world. Barack Obama isn't to be held to the Eisenhower standard. Indeed, as a fortunate "off-mic" moment recently revealed, this president bargains with Russian errand boy Dmitry Medvedev over something as trivial as protecting Europe with a missile defense system. I will have more "flexibility," the leader of the Free World says, with my last election behind me.
Thankfully, we don't live in the shadow of a nuclear showdown. But from its very beginning, this presidency has been about the man himself and his personal ambition, and less so his duty to democracy.
So what's to be said of Mr. Obama's foreign-policy accomplishments?..

Is Music Hall haunted?
Stories of ghosts in Music Hall are legendary. Groups that specialize in the paranormal often visit Music Hall to try to determine the presences of "other-worldly" figures. Whether you believe in them or not, the experiences are real and involve individuals who are not prone to making things up, either to get attention or to deliberately mislead.
Throughout its history, excavations in and around Music Hall have yielded human bones; in fact, a map from 1830 shows that the south part of the structure was built over a Potter's Field.
It is believed to be these ''souls and spirits'' that wander Music Hall, upon occasion making their presence known.
Longtime employees of organizations based in Music Hall testify to being in the presence of ghosts. The late Cincinnati Pops Music Director Erich Kunzel, who spent many nights at Music Hall working on programs and arrangements, believed that they were basically quite friendly. ''They are definitely in this building, some sort of spirits. If anybody thinks I'm nuts, come here at 3:00 in the morning, 4:00 in the morning.''
Cincinnati Opera CEO and General Director Patricia Beggs spent many nights at Music Hall during opera season and says she too felt their presence. She related an experience a fellow opera employee had in the 1990s.
Music Hall Terri Kidney has worked there for nearly 20 years. Because the ghostly experiences she's heard about have been happy, she thinks the spirits that inhabit Music Hall are perhaps people who had at one time attended events here and had a good time.
John Engst, who was a night watchman at Music Hall for quite a few years, had a lot of stories about ghosts and happenings during the evenings and late nights when he worked. Engst wrote an account of his most harrowing experience, which occurred one night after everyone had left the building. He was making his usual rounds when he heard music... and couldn't find the source.
Read John Engst's handwritten account of that night.
If you'd like to experience Music Hall's paranormal side, the Cincinnati Arts Association is presenting Guided Ghost Tours of Music Hall at 7pm on three Fridays in 2011. For tickets and information, visit the CAA website or call (513) 621-ARTS [2787].

More violent clashes in Lesbos as police struggle to cope with thousands of desperate migrants rushing to Greek Island before entering mainland Europe
- Around 15,000 migrants have descended on the small Greek island in the hope of entering mainland Europe
- Local police are struggling to cope with the swelling numbers as hundreds more arrive on island every day
- Violence erupted between officers and men waiting to be registered at the island's port on Saturday afternoon
- The Aegean island's mayor has pleaded with Athens to send more help to cope with worsening situation
Yet more violent clashes erupted between overwhelmed police and thousands of asylum seekers today as migrants rushed to become registered on the Greek island of Lesbos.
Young men fainted in the afternoon heat as officers threatened their batons at the frenzied crowds, all desperate to become documented after a treacherous journey to Europe.
Some collapsed after being stricken while frightened children wept in their mother's arms. It was in complete contrast to the harmonious scenes found in Germany where the first five hundred refugees arrived on 'special' train services from Austria after being invited to settle in the country by Angela Merkel.
On Friday around 1,000 people attempted to storm a ferry as it left the island, sparking chaos and violence among authorities trying to police the escalating situation.
Scroll down for video
Turmoil: Violence erupted between migrants and island police on Saturday in Lesbos as authorities continue to struggle with the swelling number of people arriving on the small island
Violence: A Greek police officer threatens crowds with his baton as he and others try to control crowds waiting to be registered at the port
Desperate: Thousands descended on the port on Saturday to have their details taken before being able to board ferries bound for Athens
Overwhelmed: A man is comforted by a friend as he shouts in pain after being caught in the chaos at Lesbos port on Saturday afternoon
Thousands have flocked to Greece in the hope of journeying on to mainland Europe after making the treacherous crossing from their war-stricken homes.
Scores less fortunate have already died on rickety boats launched by people smugglers. Among them a newborn baby boy, plucked from the water on Saturday off the nearby island of Agathonisi.
Today, as desperate families queued to have their details taken at Lesbos port, officers exerted force over young men in the streets.
Women cried, wilting in the heat, while men bled after being stricken in the chaos. One young man was seen having his pulse checked by friends as he lay in a state of collapse, surrounded by crushed water bottles and gravel.
Earlier the island's mayor appealed for 'immediate measures' to help relieve strain on its resources. Sypros Galinos likened the scenario to a bomb in his hands, pleading: 'I appeal to the prime minister for immediate measures. We will have victims.'
Lesbos is the entry point for around half of the hundreds of thousands of those who have fled to Greece this year. There are thought to be around 15,000 refugees on the island, around half of whom are already registered and awaiting transport to Athens.
So far the government has only chartered two ferries to take them there, to the despair of Mr Galinos who said: 'I don't need one ship, I need a fleet.'
Life or death: A man has his pulse checked as he lies on the ground after becoming overwhelmed by the crowds in Lesbos port
Fight: A young migrant lies on a cardboard sheet as he has his body examined after being stricken in the clashes with police on Saturday
Futile: A man bleeds from the mouth after being stricken in the chaos on Saturday afternoon. The island's mayor has pleaded with Athens to send more resources to help cope with the worsening crisis
Fragile: A woman is held up by a friend as she appears to faint in the sweltering afternoon heat in Lesbos as thousands rush to be registered by authorities
Chaos: Thousands are waiting in the port to board ferries bound for Athens but have been unable to secure tickets. The Greek government has laid on only two charted services
Patient: Scores of migrants wait in the port in the hope of winning a coveted space on one of the few ferries taking people to mainland Greece
Between Thursday and Friday morning the Greek coastguard said it had rescued some 500 people from the water.
In Kos, another crucial port for thousands seeking asylum, hostile protesters have taken to the streets. One group brandished bats and shouted 'go back to your countries' as some arrived on the island on Thursday night, sparking criticism from Amnesty International that the police did not intervene quickly enough.
It is urging Greek and European authorities to drastically improve the conditions migrants face on arrival. There are thought to be around 4,000 migrants in Kos.
In central Europe the first signs of relief were seen on Saturday as scores arrived in Austria and Germany after abandoning hopes of settling in Hungary.
Hundreds marched on the M1 motorway between Budapest and Vienna after their comrades were tricked into boarding trains bound for designated migrant camps. They feared they would face reprisals from far-right Hungarian authorities if they agreed to be registered in the country, instead fleeing for Austria.
Inundated: The island has been overwhelmed by the vast number of asylum seekers arriving every day, leaving local authorities struggling to cope
Distraught: A frightened child cries into his mother's chest as she is comforted by a family member. They are queuing to be registered in the hope of then gaining access to a ferry to Athens
Hope: Members of one family cradle their children as they wait at the port on Saturday. Around 15,000 are thought to have flocked to Lesbos
Angela Merkel invited thousands of refugees to settle in Germany, telling world leaders that none would be turned away once they reached the Austrian border.
Around 10,000 are expected to arrive across German cities today from Hungary and Austria. Meanwhile David Cameron has pledged that Britain will take in 'thousands' more migrants and increased the country's foreign aid commitment.
The U.S. has donated billions but is yet to offer refuge to any of those in search of a home. Today George Osborne called on European leaders to tackle the 'evil Assad regime' and ISIS barbarians in Syria which have prompted thousands to flee their homes.
Osborne, speaking on the sidelines of a meeting of G20 finance chiefs in Turkey on Saturday, said the British government would provide more details of its plans next week.
'Yes, we must offer asylum to those who are genuinely fleeing persecution. Countries like Britain always have, we are one of the founders of the asylum system. We will take, as the prime minister said, thousands more,' he said.
'But at the same time, you've got to make sure you've got aid going into the refugee camps on the borders ... We've got to defeat these criminal gangs who trade in human misery and risk people's lives and kill people.'

NEW YORK and LONDON, Nov. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Funds advised by Apax Partners ("Apax"), a global private equity firm, today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Cole Haan LLC, a leading designer and retailer of premium footwear and related accessories, from NIKE, Inc. for $570 million in cash. The transaction is expected to close in early 2013.
Cole Haan, headquartered in New York, is an iconic American designer and retailer of premium men's and women's footwear, apparel and accessories. Founded in 1928, Cole Haan's brand represents craftsmanship, style and innovation.

"The decision to divest of Cole Haan allows us to sharpen our focus on opportunities with the highest potential for strong returns, and to make sure the brands within the NIKE, Inc. portfolio are the most complementary to the NIKE Brand," said NIKE, Inc. President & CEO Mark Parker.
Apax has extensive experience in fashion apparel, footwear and accessories through current and previous investments including Tommy Hilfiger Corporation, an apparel retail company and one of the world's leading lifestyle brands, which was acquired by PVH Corp.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

*When Dwyane Wade announced that he kicked the Jordan Brand b-ball shoes to the curb, the world wondered what that was all about.
After all, we're talking Nike's Jordan Brand. Yes, the Jordan Brand … as in MICHAEL JORDAN, the living God of basketball!
Well, now we know.
Wade, the wily wascal, was scheming all along. Yes, he had a master plan: to make a deal with Chinese shoe manufacturer Li-Ning, reports the AP.
Wade, a two-time NBA champion is signing with Chinese sportswear provider Li-Ning, which is giving the Miami Heat guard his own brand within the company along with plenty of creative and strategic input.
The partnership will be announced Wednesday in Beijing, where Li-Ning is headquartered and where the Heat are visiting for the NBA China Games tour.
Wade told The Associated Press that he expects the Li-Ning deal to continue through at least the remainder of his playing career. Wade wore Converse for his first six seasons, then Jordan Brand for the past three years.
"It was a great nine years, but for me, it was just time to move on," Wade told the AP. "I have certain goals that I want to reach and I felt that I had to leave to reach those. So I'm doing things a little differently. That's how I am, in a sense. I'm not necessarily a status-quo type guy."
Wade's debut in Li-Ning sneakers is expected Thursday, when the Heat play a preseason game in Beijing against the Los Angeles Clippers. He's also hoping to play when the Heat and Clippers meet again in Shanghai on Sunday, and Li-Ning plans to auction off the sneakers from those first two games.

Sen. Ted Cruz has become such a media star that he trumps Mitch McConnell—even as McConnell went to the Senate floor Wednesday to announce a deal to reopen government and avoid default.
The freshman Republican strode up to the microphones in the Capitol, and media crews immediately flocked the junior senator from Texas.
One cable TV network was so interested in Cruz's speech that it momentarily cut away from McConnell delivering the much-awaited news of an agreement and showed Cruz, praising House Republicans and vowing to fight on.
But Cruz's seconds in the spotlight prompted a quizzical — and perhaps accidental — response from CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "Why did we lea — " Blitzer asked as CNN left coverage of McConnell for Cruz. Seconds later the screen flashed to McConnell.
"All right. Let's leave Ted Cruz. He's obviously opposed to this deal," Blitzer said.
In the Capitol there were whispers that Cruz's news conference, happening at the same time as McConnell's floor statement was a finger in his eye, a way of saying — if there were ever any doubt — that Cruz opposed the deal.
In one turn of phrase, Cruz repudiated the Senate deal, praised House conservatives and foreshadowed fights to come over Obamacare.
"If the American people continue to rise up, I believe the House will continue to listen to the American people and I hope in kind the Senate will begin to listen to the American people also," he said.
Cruz's colleagues, though, sounded weary of the political infighting and reasoned that the deal saved the country from economic ruin.
"It's time to act like adults. It's time to be an adult," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, leaving the closed-door meeting. "I've only been here 37 years, but I've been in these positions before and sooner or later the adults have to come forward and do what's right, do what's best under the circumstances."
Republicans also praised McConnell for coming up with a deal, that they said was the best that could be had under the circumstances.
"I think he's a great leader," Hatch said. "He's one of the brightest guys who has ever sat in the Senate, in the Congress, and there's no question he's a guts, tough, smart guy. And he believes in the country."
For his part, McConnell focused on the positive: reopening of the government, avoidance of default, and presumably an end to the punishment Republicans have been taking in the polls — and a reunification of the party.
"Now it's time for Republicans to unite behind our other crucial goals," he said.

Trump, in a statement: "Based on the fact that the Democratic nominating process is totally rigged and Crooked Hillary Clinton and Deborah Wasserman Schultz will not allow Bernie Sanders to win, and now that I am the presumptive Republican nominee, it seems inappropriate that I would debate the second place finisher. ... I will wait to debate the first place finisher in the Democratic Party, probably Crooked Hillary Clinton, or whoever it may be."
"It's about time for unity," said UAW President Dennis Williams. "We're endorsing Hillary Clinton. She's gotten 3 million more votes than Bernie, a million more votes than Donald Trump. She's our nominee." He called Sanders "a great friend of the UAW" while saying Trump "does not support the economic security of UAW families." Some 28 percent of UAW members indicated their support for Trump in an internal survey.
"Donald Trump on Thursday reached the number of delegates needed to clinch the Republican nomination for president, completing an unlikely rise that has upended the political landscape and sets the stage for a bitter fall campaign. Trump was put over the top in the Associated Press delegate count by a small number of the party's unbound delegates who told the AP they would support him at the convention."
"Clinton and Bernie Sanders "are now devoting additional money to television advertising. A day after Sanders announced a new ad buy of less than $2 million in the state, Clinton announced her own television campaign. Ads featuring actor Morgan Freeman as well as labor leader and civil rights activist Dolores Huerta will air beginning on Fridayin Fresno, Sacramento, and Los Angeles media markets. Some ads will also target Latino voters and Asian American voters. The total value of the buy is about six figures according to the Clinton campaign." Meanwhile, a new poll shows Sanders within the margin of error, trailing Clinton 44%-46%.

The color is different than you think from looking at the picture, but once I hung the curtains it was AMAZING! It is the vocal point in the room. Great quality, great style. Would recommend to anyone.
wapt from Al 05/12/2014
I had been looking at these for a while and finally made the plunge and bought them. The old drapes were green. This color lights up the room without over powering it. I feel new throws and pillows are in the future. :)
india7 from Chicago 05/12/2014
These were even better in person than I thought they would be! They are a lovely color of "French yellow" and the fabric is thick and they are well lined. They look high quality and as though they cost much more than they did. I'm very satisfied!!
texasdc from Washington, DC 05/12/2014
I ordered these for my new master bedroom in my beach house. I ordered long enough to pool on the floor and set the bar far enough to allow for a full double window opening. The curtains are a true statement in the master bedroom. They are the first thing you notice when entering the room. That is exactly the effect I was going for and these curtains made it real. half price drapes has to get these restocked!

Great quality, color and print. Very happy with this purchase
mlm924 from raleigh,nc 05/12/2014
The color is a little off from what is shown in the picture...it is more of a dull mustard rather than a bright marigold, as the picture suggests. The pattern is lovely and the material is quality. They will look great in my bedroom.

The color is vibrant and matches perfectly with my dark colored sofa. It's thick and blocks light very well. The cotton feels very soft. I recommend this with curtains with any modern or contemporary sofa.

Much prettier in person! Very high end look. Material is heavy and quality is superb! I sew, but I could have never come close to the quality and craftmanship for this price! Posted pictures online of them after hanging and was bombarded with questions as to when and where I got them!

I made a welcome return to Arttutor.com this week and went to Liverpool to film two landscape tutorials for them. Here are the pieces that I produced in soft pastels and pastel pencils. I often feel like I struggle between making sense in words and concentrating on the pieces themselves. I was happy with the visual outcome of these and trust that after Jon has done his magic through the editing process, it will sound ok and make sense too!

Dance of the Waves
I have been showing my work at Staithes Arts festival this weekend and was talking about this series of paintings called 'Happenings'. I am tempted to leave them untitled because people bring such personal and independent responses to them. Having said that, 'Dance of the Waves' does suit this piece which has just found a new home following the festival.

The Source
I struggled to find the right title for this as it seemed like the end of the tunnel or journey and a new beginning or birth. I settled on 'the Source' which captures for me the place from which all things came and to which they will all return.

For some reason the title 'Harvest' came to me for this one. I think perhaps it's a painting about coming to spiritual fruition.
