Marlins finalize '14 coaching staff with two new faces
MIAMI -- A couple of new faces are joining Marlins manager Mike Redmond's staff for next season.
Brett Butler, regarded as one of the best bunters and baserunners during his playing days, joins the organization as the new third-base and outfield coach.
MIAMI -- A couple of new faces are joining Marlins manager Mike Redmond's staff for next season.
Brett Butler, regarded as one of the best bunters and baserunners during his playing days, joins the organization as the new third-base and outfield coach.
Taking over as the hitting coach will be Frank Menechino, who has spent five seasons as a hitting coach in the Yankees organization.
Butler replaces Joe Espada, who will manage Miami's Class A Jupiter affiliate. And interim hitting coach John Pierson has been reassigned to the Minor League staff.
The rest of the staff from Redmond's first season managing the club will be back.
"We are extremely excited to complete and announce Mike Redmond's staff for the 2014 season," president of baseball operations Michael Hill said. "Brett and Frank bring a wealth of experience and knowledge from their years as players and coaches. Coupled with our returning staff, we feel we have a tremendous mix of knowledgeable baseball men who will make our team better."
Rob Leary will return as the bench coach, and Perry Hill is back as infield and first-base coach.
Chuck Hernandez comes back as the pitching coach, and Reid Cornelius once again will be the bullpen coach.
Rounding out the staff is bullpen coordinator Jeffrey Urgelles.
The Marlins officially announced the moves early Friday night.
While the team has finalized its staff for now, the club is leaving open the possibility of adding a second hitting instructor. It is something the front office has discussed, and will continue to do so leading into Spring Training.
"We've had conversations," general manager Dan Jennings said. "We've tossed it around. We've weighed the pros and the cons. I'd say right now, I don't think we're leaning either way. It's something that we've taken note of, that some teams are doing it."
MLB allows teams to carry a seventh coach for such positions like a second hitting coach. If the Marlins go that way, they first want to make sure Redmond and Menechino are comfortable with it.
"Right now, I wouldn't say we're leaning either way, it's something we've talked about," Jennings said.
Fresh off a 62-100 season, the Marlins are looking to improve offensively. They finished last in the Majors in most significant statistical categories, including runs scored (513), home runs (95), batting average (.231), on-base percentage (.293) and slugging percentage (.335).
Before the start of Spring Training, the Marlins front office is planning on meeting and exchanging ideas on an organizational hitting approach.
"We're going to solicit input from all of our hitting people within the organization," Jennings said. "And we're going to create a Marlins Way, a Marlins Mindset, and work on all of our guys having a plan, and an understanding on how to take that into the game. And hopefully we'll get the results and the production."
The Marlins have had their eye on Butler for several seasons. He joins Miami's staff after nine seasons in the D-backs organization, with his last five as manager of Triple-A Reno.
Butler also will serve as the baserunning and bunting instructor.
In his 17-year big league career, Butler played for the Braves, Indians, Giants, Dodgers and Mets.
Butler has the distinction of being one of 26 players in MLB history with at least 2,000 hits and 500 stolen bases.
"He fills so many boxes," Jennings said. "This guy, No. 1, his pedigree and what he did as a Major League player for 17 years. He made his name in the game being a bunting, baserunning and outfield guy."
Menechino is a native of Staten Island, N.Y., and he played for Team Italy in the 2006 World Baseball Classic.
The past three seasons, he was the hitting coach of Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He also was the hitting coach at Double-A Trenton in the Yankees organization.
Leary will be entering his second season as Redmond's bench coach. Previously, he had stints in the Cleveland (2012) and Boston (2002-2011) organizations.
Miami's pitching was the bright spot in a disappointing season, and Hernandez has been praised for the development of a young rotation and the bullpen.
Despite losing 100 games, the 2013 Marlins' pitchers set franchise records with a 3.71 team ERA and a 3.42 bullpen ERA.
Defensively, Marlins infielders enjoyed a strong season under the direction of Hill, regarded as one of the best infield instructors in the game.
Last season, the Marlins had the best fielding percentage in the Majors in September (.993), committing errors in just four of the final 24 games. The team finished with a .986 fielding percentage, tied for fourth in the National League and tied for the second-best mark in team history. In 2003, under Hill, the Marlins finished with a franchise-best .987 infield fielding percentage.
Cornelius will enter his fifth season as the bullpen coach, and his 12th season in the Marlins organization. In 2013, the Marlins bullpen's 3.42 ERA matched the 2011 club for the best ERA in club history.
"I think overall, Red is happy with the staff," Jennings said. "That's the most important thing. Everyone on that staff works for the manager, and Red is pleased and he signed off on it. It's a situation where we knew this was going to be a transitional year for Red as a first-year manager. Red has people around him that he definitely believes in and believes in their abilities."

Mr. Underwood then introduced Advisory Committee Chair Lisa Schiff, Nancy Terranova, Sybil Boutillier, and Melissa Riley to give a multipart presentation t of the Advisory Committee's Summary Report on the "San Francisco Public Library and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)". Ms. Schiff outlined the recent history of RFID technology, provided background about various uses, and questions about uses of RFID; and presented an overview of the Advisory Committee's efforts to gather information about it. Ms. Nancy Terranova, San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) certified safety expert then discussed the scientific description of how RFID works. Ms. Terranova then outlined current knowledge concerning any potential for health related risks involved with use of RFID technologies. The Department of Public Health Certified Safety Expert then discussed in some detail the current safety regulations and guidelines recommended for use of such technologies. Ms. Terranova discussed resource literature on this topic as identified on Page 21 of the Report. Ms. Terranova noted that while there was no evidence that exposure to this technology posed any risk but that continued research was needed. Ms. Schiff then outlined positions taken by the American Library Association (ALA) and its development of guidelines safeguarding privacy, the position taken by Library Citizen's Advisory Committee, (LCAC), and community groups in opposition such the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the San Francisco Neighborhood Antenna Free Union, SNAFU) that were strongly opposed to use of RFID technologies by the Library American Library Association (ALA) Intellectual Freedom Committee member and SFPL staffer Sybil Boutillier began with a discussion of some of the issues of concern with libraries' use of RFID technologies. Ms. Boutillier then discussed in some detail the process used to consider its use by other libraries. Ms. Boutillier reported the usual next steps would be to put out a Request for Information (RFI) which she noted could be a public process unlike the competitive Request for Proposals process (RFP). Melissa Riley then discussed the Summary report recommendations, noting the work of an ongoing staff committee, and the need to continue to gather staff and public input on RFID. Ms. Riley concluded noting the importance of the "precautionary Principle" when considering new technologies.

Ms. Andrea Grimes, Librarian's Guild, continued the presentation of the Library Union's written public comment on the Summary report begun by Ms. Bremer. Commission discussion of AGENDA ITEM #2 LIBRARY TECHNOLOGY & PRIVACY ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT City Librarian Herrera thanked the Advisory Committee members for their dedication and hard work in taking up researching, and seriously considering RFID related concerns. The City Librarian noted that this was another positive step in the Library's process to consider this new technology. Deputy City Librarian Underwood pointed out that that a formal Request for Information (RFI) process, as had been proposed by the Commission but not funded by the Board of Supervisors in last year's Library Budget, would have also produced additional useful information. Mr. Herrera observed that it was premature to make a choice and that at this point it was the Library's position to participate in, listen to, and remain engaged with the ongoing professional and public discussions about its use in libraries. Commissioner Bauitista thanked the Advisory Committee members for their work, noted that information about health related issues needed to be sought; and looked forward to the Library's ongoing process of consideration of RFID. Commissioner Strobin noted that public speakers seemed focused on health related concerns rather than the previously expressed strong focus on user privacy issues. Commissioner Strobin suggested that use should be made of information gained through the more extensive experience with use of RFID by libraries in Europe. In response, Advisory Committee Member Nancy Terranova, SFDPH, noted that there was only limited information available on health related issues and that the few studies available did not demonstrate health related risks from the levels of electro-magnetic energy used by a RFID chip. Commissioner Gomez found the Summary Report and the presentation cogent, and observed that there was still not sufficient information on a wide array of issues of concern. Commissioner Gomez commended the Library's continuing focus on comprehensive research seeking answers to the health-related and user privacy concerns expressed as it considered use of this technology. Commissioner Gomez noted this issue presented to the Library an opportunity to show leadership by doing a meaningful study. In response to a query by Commissioner Bautista, Chief of the Main Library, Kathy Lawhun discussed expanding use of RFID in European libraries as well discussed an ongoing large scale Texas study of RFID use both in libraries and the private sector. Vice President Coulter concluded the Commission's discussion of the Summary Report by noting that through Library staff and the Advisory Committee member's hard work much useful information concerning RFID had been gained since it was first discussed as an element in the Library's current Strategic Plan 18 months previously. Vice President Coulter noted that the Commissioners had asked staff to work with critics of this technology and consider the issues involved in a meaningful way and that this report continued to advance that process. The Commission Vice President noted that RFID had both then potential to resolve materials management and theft problems and yet still had unanswered questions regarding its cost effectiveness, reliability to detect theft, and ability to fully address user privacy concerns. Additional Public comment on AGENDA ITEM #2 LIBRARY TECHNOLOGY & PRIVACY ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT Ms. Nancy Evans additionally commented on her fears with health related risk associated with RFID as well as other uses of radio wave propagating technologies such as Wi-Fi. An anonymous member of the public additionally commented as to how the Library had addressed RFID. At the suggestion of the City Librarian, Vice President Coulter continued AGENDA ITEM #5 SELF PICK-UP OF RESERVES to a future meeting of the Commission. AGENDA ITEM #6 FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY REPORT Marian Chatfield-Taylor of the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library presented an update report on the ongoing Campaign for Neighborhood Libraries. Ms. Chatfield Taylor highlighted the recent Friend's sponsored three day November 4-6th series of activities in the Mission Bay neighborhood. Ms. Chatfield-Taylor then introduced Architect Adele Santos to report in greater detail what had occurred. Ms. Santos discussed the importance in creating a community in this newly developing neighborhood; having as its civic focus the City's first new neighborhood branch library in 40 years. Mr. Rob Spoor of City Guides spoke about the recent Mission Bay walking tour and similar walking tours of San Francisco's neighborhoods that this Library affiliated organization has offered to the public for 28 years. Mr. Spoor noted that the Mission Bay walking tour had raised $500 to benefit the new branch library. Public comment on AGENDA ITEM #6 FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY REPORT An anonymous member of the public commented: against contributions to or acceptance of funding from the Friends; and about the "public comment "fund. Commission discussion of AGENDA ITEM #6 FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY REPORT Commissioner Bautista thanked the Friends for their hard work in support of the Library.

July 22, 2012
Richard G. Brewer, an OSA Fellow known for his contributions to atomic physics, laser spectroscopy and quantum optics, passed away on 22 July, 2012, following a long illness. He was 83.
Brewer earned a B.S. from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 1951 and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1958. In 1963, after serving as an Instructor at Harvard University and an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), he joined the research staff at IBM, Almaden, where he remained until his retirement in 1994. He became an IBM Fellow in 1973 and a Consulting Professor of Applied Physics at Stanford University in 1978.
An OSA member for 35 years, Brewer was elected an OSA Fellow in 1977. He was also a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) and a member of the National Academy of Sciences (1980). Brewer received the Franklin Institute's Albert A. Michelson Gold Medal in 1979 and Caltech's Distinguished Alumni Award in 1994. In 1997 he endowed the Brewer prize at Caltech. The prize is awarded annually to a freshman who is deemed best at overcoming two "hurdles" that are a prerequisite for admission into a Research Tutorial, where the student carries out an independent research project. In 2000, Brewer was the recipient of the OSA Charles Hard Townes Award "for his outstanding contributions to quantum optics, characterized by originality and diversity, involving the interplay of theory and elegant experiments to elucidate fundamental problems of coherent optical transients, using atoms, molecules, solids and trapped ions."
A partial list of Brewer's contributions includes the first observation of stimulated Brillouin scattering in liquids, the invention of the optical Stark-switching technique allowing studies of novel coherent optical transients, an experimental test of the optical Bloch equations for solids, a fundamental theorem on coherent optical or nmr transients, a QED quantum jump theory of a single trapped ion, two-ion superradiance, and deterministic two-ion chaos.
Brewer had over 150 publications in books and physics journals. With Aram Mooradian, he initiated the highly successful International Conference on Laser Spectroscopy, which continues to be held in worldwide venues.
Brewer is survived by his wife, Lillian, a son and two daughters.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. - Three second half goals opened up a 1-0 game as Pfeiffer University pulled out a 4-0 victory at host Coker College in Conference Carolinas women's soccer action on Saturday afternoon. Alyssa Wombwell (Grand Blanc, MI) registered a pair of penalty kick goals to lead the Lady Falcons to 4-6 overall, 3-3 in league play. The Cobras drop to 1-10, 1-4 as Pfeiffer spoiled homecoming weekend.
Pfeiffer held a commanding 22-4 shots advantage, putting 13 on goal. The Lady Falcons defense in addition to posting the shutout, didn't allow a single shot on goal, making a fairly easy day in net for goalkeeper Amanda Wemple (Hayden Lake, ID).
Wombwell started the day converting her first PK in the 22nd minute after a foul by Coker inside the 18-yard box for the only strike in the first half.
In the second, Ashley Harrington (Albemarle, NC) started the three-goal spurt after an assist from Tish Patino (East Bend, NC) in the 65th minute. Wombwell put home her second of the day just six minutes later before freshman Hannah Hill (Monroe, NC) slammed home her first of the year after a cross from Katie Collins (Concord, NC).
Rachel Solomon and Emily Morrow each fired two shots for the Cobras while Haley Gibson made nine saves in net.
Pfeiffer will now move to Limestone wrapping up their three-game road trip on Thursday. Live stats will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Visual effects firm to launch operations in Beijing.
Visual effects and post-production company Prime Focus is to open offices in Beijing, China later this year. The announcement was made at the Shanghai International Film Festival.
The move follows a joint venture agreement in March between Prime Focus, Hong Kong-based private equity group AID Partners and local partner Zhejiang Jingqi Wenhua Chuanbo Co.
The jv will invest $3m in a new operation that will provide 2D/3D conversion, VFX and post-production services on the mainland and in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
The new Beijing outpost adds to offices operated by Prime Focus in Los Angeles, Vancouver, New York, London and Mumbai.
"We are enthusiastic about the shared opportunities our expansion into China brings," said Namit Malhotra, founder of Prime Focus.
"We have always recognized the advantages that globalization coupled with intense localization brings and have evolved our business strategy accordingly. After India, Europe and North America, China was the growth story waiting to happen.
"We are fortunate to have had AID Partners Capital extend the relationship beyond investment in to a formal market entry vehicle to expand our footprint in to one of the most influential markets in the world. I look forward to offering our full suite of creative and technology services to the Chinese market."

The Lady Bisons, trailing 13-4 in the first half, used a 10-0 run to take a 14-13 lead. The rest of the half was a see-saw battle with the Lady Bisons prevailing 30-25 in the first 20 minutes.
The Lady Bisons remained in control until USC Upstate got its first lead of the second half, 39-38 on a free throw by forward Chelsea McMillan who was 10-of-10 from the charity stripe.
The Lady Bisons stayed close and twice pulled within two points in the final 2 ½ minutes.
With 2:29 left in the game sophomore guard Jenna Bartsokas scored a lay-up on a fast break to trim the USC Upstate lead to 51-49.
The Lady Bisons were back within two again, 56-54, with 18 seconds on the clock, when freshman forward Chelsea Burroughs dropped in a 3-pointer.
Sophomore forward Cree Nix led the way for the Lady Bisons with 17 points and 13 rebounds, both career highs. It was her third straight game to score in double figures. She is averaging 15.7 points per game in the last three games.
It was her second double-double of the season. She also had 12 points and 10 rebounds against Gardner-Webb Dec. 29. It also marked the third time she has finished in double figures in rebounds.
Burroughs chipped in with 12 points, her third double figure performance in the last four games.
Bartsokas added 10 points. She has scored in double figures in 13 of 16 games.
McMillan made the difference for Upstate scoring 31 points and grabbing 14 rebounds, both game highs.
The Lady Bisons, 4-12, 2-5, play at ETSU in Johnson City Saturday afternoon at 12:30. USC Upstate raised its record to 8-7, 3-4.

Golf in Castile-Leon
Spain has an extensive network of first-rate golf courses. It is one of the best places for playing golf, thanks to its year-round good climate and to the quality of its facilities, suitable for all handicaps.
Golf course in Villamayor
Why not enjoy an attractive combination? Golf and culture. Play golf in Castile-Leon, a large Region in inland Spain, and discover its cities with UNESCO World Heritage monuments and sites.
Castile-Leon offers the chance to combine golf with interesting cultural routes. It is an excellent option for an enjoyable holiday. This Region of Spain also has many beautiful areas of countryside, perfect for outdoor activities that go from hiking to all kinds of adventure sports.
As you can see, not all Spain's golf courses are to be found on the coast. Quite the contrary, in fact. You can also play golf in inland Spain, in towns and cities close to the mountains, as is the case with the Castile-Leon Region. In just a few kilometres you will find clubs with different courses that adapt to a range of different playing levels: from simple, gentle courses, ideal for getting started with the clubs, to courses where short holes alternate with long ones, perfect for playing as a family, and more complicated itineraries for experienced players.
Between games, make the most of the chance to discover cities such as Salamanca, Segovia and Ávila. They all have the UNESCO World Heritage designation for their historic centres. Just a few minutes from the green, in the Burgos area, you can also discover the origins of man, visiting Atapuerca, one of Europe's most important palaeontological sites. There are even more options available in Valladolid where there are several golf courses situated close to the city. Other provinces such as León, Palencia and Soria, also have excellent golfing facilities. As you can see, there are numerous alternatives in a Region that is a point of reference for both cultural and inland tourism. Combine your golf rounds with cultural visits and routes in this region, which has played a vital role in Spain's history.
This area is also worth visiting for its rich heritage and monuments, and is noteworthy for its folklore, traditions, delicious gastronomy and stunning countryside. Summing up, here you will find all the necessary ingredients for an unforgettable stay in a region that is ideal for golf lovers.

Hi there!! I think you are really going to like the palette at ColourQ this week! There's just so many ways you could go with this one... It gets an A++ for versatility! :) The colors are Crumb Cake, Bashful Blue, Night of Navy, Rich Razzleberry and White. I decided to make another birthday card... you know how I've been trying to build up my birthday card stash and all. :)
Now, like I mentioned, very changeable on the style you could go with these colors! You could definitely go very soft and feminine... but I was itching to use some more of my new Paper Smooches stamps, so I had this idea to use the cute little cloud border in strips. So I stamped 3 of them in the navy ink on the Bashful Blue card stock, fussy cut them out and added some Frosted Lace Stickles. Then I adhered them to a white card front.
When I mat my card fronts like this, the dimensions are as follows... the card is an A2 size, so a vertical card with a fold at the top like this would be 4 1/4" by 11" then folded in half at 5 1/2." The mat is 4 1/8" x 5 3/8." the card front is 4" x 5 1/4."
So, I adhered the cloud strips down first, and then stamped the flower border stamp in between the cloud strips.
My little party bird was stamped 3 times, twice on white card stock, and once on the kraft printed scrap. Punched one of the white images out in a circle and colored the hat on that one, then fussy cut the bird body from the printed piece, eliminating the legs and the hat. I pieced the printed piece onto the circle piece, and the final "layer" was the eyes and beak, which were cut from the final white image, and then the beak was colored. I added some more Stickles to his hat and the mini stars that I stamped around him for a bit of glitz. :) The final touch was stamping the sentiment in the kraft color (aka Crumb Cake).
Well, I hope you like my cute party bird card! Thanks for popping by, hope you can join us at ColourQ this week! :)
hugs, Noelle

(1 item)
I came across this when my neighbor passed a couple years back and this was in his garage along with other signs. I searched around and could not find anything on this sign, or a Molson Canadian sign that was blue for that matter. There is very little damage to the paint. If I had to estimate the sign is about 3 ft tall and a little under 2 feet wide. It has Molsen written vertically on the left side and a picture of a skier on the other (I asked my mother about it, and she said she thinks its from the Olympics sometime in the 80's). The only identifying marks I could find is at the very bottom in black " Imported by Centrury Importers Inc, Reston, VA 0AI684 DS B1"
If anybody could help me out with the value or rarity of this item it would be greatly appreciated.

Knowing the Moves that Chess Pieces Can Make
Before you can play a game of chess, you need to know how to move the pieces (legally). A chess piece's power is tied to its mobility. The more mobile a piece is, the more powerful it is:
Pawns: Pawns can only move forward. On their first move, they can move one or two squares. Afterwards, they can move only one square at a time. They can capture an enemy piece by moving one square forward diagonally.
Bishops: Bishops can move any number of squares diagonally.
Knights: Knights can move only in an L-shape, one square up and two over, or two squares over and one down, or any such combination of one-two or two-one movements in any direction.
Rooks: Rooks can move any number of squares, up and down and side to side.
Queens: Queens can move any number of squares along ranks, files and diagonals.
Kings: Kings can move one square at a time in any direction.

Seven Texas prospects debut on updated Top 20
With 2013 Draftees signed and entered into their respective clubs' pipelines, MLB.com has re-ranked its Top 100 Prospects and each club's Top 20 Prospects.
With 2013 Draftees signed and entered into their respective clubs' pipelines, MLB.com has re-ranked its Top 100 Prospects and each club's Top 20 Prospects.
ARLINGTON -- Rangers general manager Jon Daniels has always been aggressive in July, and that proved to be the case again this year when he acquired pitcher Matt Garza from the Cubs.
In doing so, the Rangers gave up third baseman Mike Olt and pitchers C.J. Edwards and Justin Grimm, as well as one or two players to be named later. Daniels said it was a "steep" price for Garza, but he was willing to do so because he believes strongly in the Rangers' farm system.
"We've got more coming behind them to where we can part with a pretty significant package," Daniels said. "We paid a steep price in talent to acquire Matt, but we did so knowing we've got other guys in the system because of the work of our scouts, because of the work our coaches have done."
Much of the best talent is in the lower levels of the system. That's not only because of the trade but because of the number of young players the Rangers have pushed to the big leagues this season. The Rangers farm system is not as highly-ranked as it has been in the past, but teams continue to be interested in their players.
Jurickson Profar was the No. 1 prospect in the Rangers' system at the beginning of the year. He is now playing semi-regularly for the Rangers as a utility player. Martin Perez, who was No. 6 in the preseason rankings, is now a member of the Rangers' rotation.
Nick Tepesch was No. 18 at the start of the season, but that was before he also won a spot in the rotation. He is now on the disabled list with a strained right elbow. Olt, Edwards and Grimm were also all on the preseason Top 20.
Leury Garcia also moved off the list from No. 19. He started the season with the Rangers and then was sent back to Triple-A so he could start playing regularly again. He is hitting .277 with a .333 on-base percentage and a .415 slugging percentage for Round Rock. The Rangers still like him.
New faces
The new rankings include Alex Gonzalez, the Rangers No. 1 Draft pick from the 2013 First-Year Player Draft. He is No. 11 on the list even though he is 0-4 with a 6.48 ERA in his first seven starts at Class A Spokane. Travis Demeritte, the Rangers' other first-round Draft pick, made the list at No. 16.
Also joining the Top 20 are shortstop Alberto Hanser, outfielder Nick Williams, pitcher Victor Payano and pitcher Connor Sadzeck. Pitcher David Perez is also back on the list. He has been a highly-regarded prospect for a couple of years, but he is currently recovering from Tommy John surgery.
Rising/falling stock
The biggest fall on Texas' list is Cody Buckel, who dropped from No. 4 to No. 8. Buckel began the season with severe command issues and is currently working through his problems at the Rangers' facility in Surprise, Ariz.
The biggest rise was first baseman Ronald Guzman, who is hitting .287 with three home runs and 25 RBIs in 43 games at Class A Hickory. Also on the rise are infielders Joey Gallo and Rougned Odor and pitcher Luke Jackson.
Top 100 representation
The Rangers are down to just two prospects in the Top 100 -- catcher Jorge Alfaro at No. 61 and shortstop Luis Sardinas at No. 77. Both are still at Class A.
In addition, the Rangers' farm system is now ranked No. 25 in terms of prospect points, which are assigned to clubs based on their representatives on the Top 100 list, with 100 points going to the team with the No. 1 prospect, 99 to the team with No. 2 and so on.
Between trades, promotions and injuries, the Rangers farm system has been bled way too much to maintain its once lofty status within the industry. That should change as players like Alfaro, Sardinas, Gallo, Guzman and Jackson start to move up higher.

Inspired by conversations on the FOOD52 Hotline, we're sharing tips and tricks that make navigating all of our kitchens easier and more fun. Today we're discussing how to use up that bottle of pomegranate molasses.
Have you ever brought home a bottle of pomegranate molasses to make a particular recipe, and then left the bottle lingering in your pantry, unsure of what else to do with it? Or have you seen a bottle on the grocery store shelf, felt intimidated, and avoided it?
We're here to encourage you to make the most of this unsung ingredient. If you're looking for new ways to use the mostly-full bottle in your kitchen, or if you're just curious about a new ingredient, we've got you covered.
First thing's first: What exactly is it?
Pomegranate molasses is a syrup of boiled pomegranate juice, most commonly used in Middle Eastern cuisine. It has an intense sweet-and-sour flavor that is often compared to balsamic, and like balsamic, a little goes a long way. And as you'll see, pomegranate molasses can be used in as many ways you can imagine.
Drink it up: We stirred some into a glass of sparkling water for a bright and refreshing soda. We're sure it can be used in all sorts of boozy drinks that just haven't been invented yet, so get creative and start experimenting.
Get traditional:
Fesenjoon is an Iranian stew of ground walnuts, pomegranate molasses, dried plums and chicken, served over rice. Our Assistant Editor Nozlee Samadzadeh says this is the most popular use of pomegranate molasses in Iranian cooking and, after testing the recipe her mother -- and Food52 community member cookingProf -- shared with us, we can see why. Comforting and complex, it's a perfect cold-weather meal.
Mouhamara, a dip of red bell peppers, ground walnuts and pomegranate molasses, deserves a spot alongside hummus and baba ghanoush on your next meze platter. The sweetness of this dip nicely counters the garlicky saltiness of the others. We're partial to Paula Wolfert's recipe.
Pair these carrots with fesenjoon and you've got a dinner we'd join you for.
Roast with it: Melissa Clark suggests roasting carrots with a pomegranate glaze, and we're crazy about the idea. But don't stop there! Think of all the roasted vegetables that could benefit from a little tangy sweetness. We're imagining cauliflower and parsnips, but the possibilities are endless.
Mix it with meat: Pomegranate molasses is a great complement for smoky rich flavors -- grilled meats come to mind. Brush it onto chicken or steak before grilling or roasting. Want to pair it with pork? You can always glaze a ham with it.
Give your vinegar a break: Mix some olive oil with pomegranate molasses for a dead-simple new salad dressing. If you're looking for a slightly more doctored dressing, check out this arugula and pear salad.Add depth to your dessert: Yes, pomegranate molasses goes well with savory foods, but what about dessert? How about using it in a cake? (Save us a piece, if you can.) We also like the idea of pouring it over cheesecake or custard.
How do you like to put pomegranate molasses to use?

/not a teacher, just want to share some tips with you.
I don't think it's necessary to study the subject first in your native language. It may help you a lot but also consume your time. I'm studying electrical engineering in English with very little background.
Anyway, it could be better if you can tell your main problems. What are your difficulties? If you find it hard to remember the vocabulary, I suggest using a spaced repetition flashcard software like Anki or memrise.com (a website).
Anyway, do what works for you. If you find it better to study philosophy in English if you understand it first, then go for it.

'Franchise MVP' game guides player's career
The crack of the bat. The roar of the crowd. The euphoric feeling of victory.
For most of Major League Baseball's history, the aforementioned sensations have slipped into hibernation following every Fall Classic's final out, with balls and gloves ceding the spotlight to months of waiting around.
The crack of the bat. The roar of the crowd. The euphoric feeling of victory.
For most of Major League Baseball's history, the aforementioned sensations have slipped into hibernation following every Fall Classic's final out, with balls and gloves ceding the spotlight to months of waiting around.
The baseball industry has been ahead of the curve in recent years, however, developing different ways to lessen the lull of its offseason.
And thanks to "Franchise MVP" -- MLB.com's new interactive mobile game -- baseball fans now have one more respite at their fingertips.
Those with iPhones and iPads can download "Franchise MVP" today via the Apple App Store. Android users can do the same via Google Play.
It's fun, free and fantastic for those seeking something replete with baseball strategy and an attendant arcade feel.
"Franchise MVP" allows fans to enter a virtual stadium with one objective: to guide a player's career. Just like most pros, your player will start as a fledgling Minor Leaguer, riding the virtual bus through bucolic America. And if you're good enough, the journey will end at the apex of the baseball mountain -- a Major League stadium of your choosing.
"Franchise MVP" gamers can accomplish this goal behind their favorite real-life franchise, as all 30 big league teams are represented. The app also delves deep into the early stages of player development, with 90 Minor League clubs included in the interactive experience. You will lead your player by making key decisions to impact his on-field performance. Mini-games are a major part of "Franchise MVP," with you in control of your stars' on-field excellence.
If your "Franchise MVP" hopeful is a hitter, you'll help him bat and field. Owners of pitchers will work on an e-mound, facing off against artificial competition.
Gamers will also be in charge of off-field factors. In other words, you can help your player progress by improving his skills -- with a little help, of course. Earning virtual currency will make this process much easier.
"We built this game to be a fun graft of fast-paced arcade-style action, simulation baseball and player development strategies," said Jamie Leece, MLB.com's vice president of gaming. "The ability for fans to play multiple games in minutes and a full season in an afternoon will appeal to mobile gamers."
That's right. You can play "Franchise MVP" at your own pace. Even a minute or two a day can help pave the path to a virtual World Series crown.
Not a bad way to spend the winter, if you ask us.
In addition to "Franchise MVP," fans can download and play "MLB Ballpark Empire" and "MLB.com Home Run Derby" anytime, anywhere. These popular mobile games can also be acquired in the Apple App Store.
Zachary Finkelstein is an editorial producer for MLB.com.

Sibling entrepreneur duo Ben and Hermione Way haven't had much luck landing a $500,000 investment for their health startup Ignite.
If you've been following Bravo's "Start-Ups: Silicon Valley," you have probably seen the Ways blow their pitch to Dave McClure of 500 Startups and unsuccessfully convince Jeff Clavier of SoftTech VC to invest.
But things don't seem to be getting much better for the sibling duo.
On this week's episode, Hermione celebrated her 27th birthday at her house in San Francisco with friends and two investors, Michael Gale and Amy Swartz, from Gramercy Ventures.
Everything seemed to be going well until Hermione opened a gift from her co-stars, which happened to be a strap-on dildo.
Hermione immediately put it on and started chasing people around The Villa while wearing the sex toy.
Her brother Ben and Gale appeared to be mortified.
"As funny as that was," Ben later said to Hermione, "that just cost us half a million dollars."
We don't hear directly from the investors in this episode, but based on the preview for next week's episode, it looks like Ben was right.
"I don't really care about losing the money," Gale said in a meeting with the Ways. "I care about looking stupid."
