Suspect arrested for vandalizing four Arlington churches

ARLINGTON, Texas -
Arlington police announced Tuesday they arrested a man in connection with graffiti vandalism cases at four Arlington churches.
Marcellino Tello, 37, was arrested for criminal trespass at a business in the 2200 block of Miller Road. Police said they went to the business on a report "regarding information on the vandalism at the churches."
Police said Tello matched the description of a suspect from a surveillance video at one of the locations. Police interviewed Tello and believe he is responsible for all four incidents.
Four Arlington churches were been hit in the past three weeks.
A Shepherd of Life Lutheran Church member discovered the graffiti early Monday morning, and immediately knew someone had defaced her church.
"I immediately thought about the stories about the other churches," Joann Smith said. "My heart just broke because it's just unbelievable that something like this could happen in the Lord's house."
The vandal used white shoe polish to write across several glass doors in Spanish.
Less than two miles away, Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church parishioners arrived for Sunday services to Spanish graffiti in blue and black spray paint across the brick walls.
The word 'muerte' - meaning death - was written in big letters.
Police believe these two incidents are linked to two others based on writing style and message.
The first happened Sept. 30 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church. More graffiti was found at New Life Fellowship Church on Oct. 9.
No mugshot of Tello has been released due to the ongoing investigation and a potential need for photo lineups, police said.
Tello remains in Arlington City Jail on a bail of $6,750.

Yankees and Cardinals' Carlos Beltran have mutual interest: sources

Yankees and Cardinals' Carlos Beltran have mutual interest: sources
Formert Met who has put up huge postseason numbers was reportedly interested in Yankees twice before, but Bombers passed. However this could be the offseason that 36-yaer-old star hits Bronx.
Carlos Beltran, a proven playoff performer could be contemplating a move to the Yankees this winter as multiple sources say there is mutual interest between the team and the veteran outfielder.
DETROIT — Baseball’s newest Mr. October could be a Yankee next year.

Carlos Beltran, who has become one of the most clutch players in postseason history (except for that one night at Shea), could be on the Yankees’ radar this winter, a move the former Met, sources say, would strongly consider.

According to multiple sources, the Yankees could be in the market for an outfielder this winter as they look to add some pop to a lineup that finished next-to-last in the American League in home runs and 10th in runs scored.

Beltran would fit the bill, having averaged 28 homers during his past two seasons in St. Louis and 24 per year since making his full-time debut in 1999.

A source familiar with Beltran’s thinking said the 36-year-old — he’ll turn 37 in April — would be interested in a potential move to the Bronx, where he could step in as the primary right fielder while getting some turns as the designated hitter to keep his body fresh.

Beltran, famously caught looking to end 2006 NLCS with the Mets, could get a chance to change his New York legacy with Yankees.

Beltran has shown interest in being a Bomber before. In 2005, he reportedly went to the Yankees with a last-ditch discount proposal before signing with the Mets. He reportedly did the same in 2011 before signing his two-year deal with St. Louis.
Both times the Yanks weren’t interested. With Bernie Williams still patrolling center field, the Yankees opted not to bid on Beltran following the 2004 season. When he became a free agent after the 2011 season, Beltran was again interested in the Yankees, but his injury issues and a club-friendly option for Nick Swisher prompted the Bombers to pass once again.
Now, following two All-Star seasons with the Cardinals — and another impressive postseason run he hopes extends for another two weeks — might Beltran and the Yanks finally become a match?
The Yankees have Alfonso Soriano, Brett Gardner, Ichiro Suzuki and Vernon Wells signed for 2014, leaving Soriano and Gardner the likely starters in left and center, respectively.
Right field is murkier. Ichiro started 126 games in the outfield last season (109 in right field), hitting .262/.297/.342 with seven home runs and 35 RBI.

Could Beltran (r.) and Derek Jeter be teammates on the Yankees next season?

Wells filled in admirably during the first six weeks of the season, hitting .301/.357/.538 with 10 homers and 23 RBI in 38 games. But his production fell off the cliff during the final four-plus months as he posted a .199/.243/.253 line with one home run and 27 RBI in 92 games.
The Yankees’ right fielders combined for a .655 OPS in 2013, last among the 15 AL clubs, while their 13 homers ranked 12th. Beltran would represent a significant upgrade; his .830 OPS would have ranked third among all AL right fielders with at least 500 plate appearances and his 24 homers would have tied for fourth-best.
Asked earlier this month whether he would look to improve the outfield this winter or stick with Soriano, Gardner, Ichiro and Wells, general manager Brian Cashman was noncommittal.
“It’s hard for me to really say,” Cashman said. “Ultimately, the truth of the matter is, it’s my job to always find better than what we already have.”
The Yankees don’t know Alex Rodriguez’s status for next season, though even if he’s suspended for a large portion — or all — of 2014, finding a productive third baseman will prove to be challenging given the free-agent options.

Beltran eats postseason pitching alive, an asset the Yankees could use.

Atlanta’s Brian McCann is expected to be high on the Yankees’ radar this winter as they look for ways to upgrade the offense, but aside from catcher, right field figures to be the spot with the most room for improvement.
Beltran, who led the 2006 Mets to the NLCS only to get caught looking at the final strike of the series, is finishing up a two-year, $26 million deal with the Cardinals, so it's possible he could seek a three-year pact if he were to sign with an American League team, given the DH option.
Ichiro is due $6.5 million next season, while the Yankees are on the hook for only $2.4 million of the $21 million owed to Wells in the final year of his seven-year, $126 million contract.
Given that Ichiro turns 40 next week, Soriano turns 38 in January and Wells turns 35 in December, using the group in an outfield/DH rotation with Beltran would appear to make plenty of sense.
The one potential hitch in the Beltran-to-New York scenario could be Curtis Granderson.
The Yankees are expected to make a $14.1 million qualifying offer to the power-hitting outfielder, and while most expect Granderson to reject it in favor of a multi-year deal elsewhere, the possibility remains that he could accept it and return to the Yankees next season in an attempt to reestablish his free-agent value.
Granderson appeared in only 61 games this season due to a fractured hand and broken forearm, hitting .229/.317/.407 with seven home runs and 15 RBI.

yankees news free agent

Chances of Each Important New York Yankees Free Agent Returning
The crucial New York Yankees offseason has officially begun following the re-signing of manager Joe Girardi.

With Girardi locked up for the next four seasons, he and general manager Brian Cashman can turn their attention to re-signing some of the team's crucial free agents.

They can start with what they do know; returning to the team next season will be an outfield of Brett Gardner, Alfonso Soriano and Ichiro Suzuki.

Also back will be Mark Teixeira and pitchers CC Sabathia, Ivan Nova, David Phelps, Michael Pineda and David Robertson.

The Yankees are probably secretly hoping Alex Rodriguez is not back for at least next season so they can save $25 million.

The Yankees also know that Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte will not be back next season due to retirement.

So what that leaves is a decision to make on at least five key players this offseason on whether to bring them back or search for their replacements
Predicting New York Yankees' Starting Lineup Next Season
General manager Brian Cashman has a ton of work to do for the 2014 season, and constructing a lineup should be the next logical move after re-signing manager Joe Girardi.

Creating a lineup will be difficult. There are a ton of questions surrounding the team regarding who should be re-signed and who should be allowed to walk, and there's also that whole Alex Rodriguez suspension thing. Oh yeah, and can Derek Jeter still play shortstop? These are all questions that Cashman will need to address in the coming months.

The free-agent market isn't particularly deep, and the New York Yankees are in a delicate phase of the franchise. Having not made the playoffs for the second time since 2008, the Yankees need to decide if their older players have another World Series run in them. If they don't, then it's probably time to blow it up and start back over from scratch.

The Yankees should field a competitive lineup next season, even if it will look a little bit different than year's past.



Let 'Em Walk
There are a few players that Cashman should let walk, whether it be because of money or because of fit with the team.

Curtis Granderson should be on a new team next season—the Chicago White Sox, perhaps? Cashman will not pay top dollar for a mediocre outfielder and perennial threat to strike out nearly 200 times. Forty-plus homers will be difficult to replace, but one can argue a 20-homer guy that hits .280 and racks up extra-base hits would be equally as productive.

Despite his surprising 2013, Lyle Overbay will also be gone. With Mark Teixeira back in the lineup, Overbay becomes expendable. He would have been a nice trade chip for the Yankees at the trade deadline of last season, but Teixeira's wrist prompted the Bombers to keep him.



Bring 'Em Back
First, we need to address the elephant in the room.

No, not Mark Reynolds—although I predict he'll re-sign to back up first base and platoon at third. Robinson Cano is the Yankees' biggest free agent in recent memory, and he's already asking the moon and the stars in terms of contract length and value.

While the money he's asking for likely won't be given to him by anyone, expect Cano to still get a nice payday. In the end, the Yankees will be re-signing their second baseman. If the Los Angeles Dodgers supposedly don't want to be in the mix, then who else has a chance at shelling out top dollar? Nobody.

Brendan Ryan is also a guy that needs to be back in pinstripes. Despite his lackluster performance at the plate, he was a revelation in the field and formed an incredible defensive middle infield with Cano to his left. What you see is what you get with Ryan. If he hits .240 in over 400 at-bats, then consider it a bonus.



Toughest Decisions
In my eyes, the Yankees have three tough decisions outside of the obvious Cano situation. First is addressing third base.

With no indication otherwise just yet, Rodriguez will be suspended for 2014. This leaves a gaping hole on the left side of the infield. Reynolds is an option to be part of a platoon over there as the right-handed hitter, but a lefty stick would be nice to have as well.

Cashman could potentially bring 36-year-old Eric Chavez back to the Bronx for another season in pinstripes, or they could test second baseman Skip Schumaker over at the hot corner. Chavez would appear to be the best bet.

The second question comes at shortstop. Can Jeter still man the position? His legs aren't what they used to be, he's clearly lost a step over the years, and the guy who finished out the season there has arguably the best glove in the league. To me, these all add up to Jeter being the full-time designated hitter and Ryan being the full-time shortstop.
There's one free-agent position player that the Yankees need to pull out all the stops to sign. Catcher Brian McCann is an immediate upgrade over Chris Stewart, Austin Romine and Francisco Cervelli, and signing him to a four-year deal would be enough time to allow Gary Sanchez to continue his development in the minors.

Unless he re-signs in Atlanta, McCann should be wearing pinstripes in 2014. It's a no-brainer, and there should be no excuse for Cashman if he doesn't make it happen.

A perennial 20-home run threat and rock behind the plate, McCann has proven himself nothing if not consistent over the years. He also plays with a fire that could do well to ignite some of the older players on the squad.

Four years and $48 million—do it, Cashman.



The Lineup
Given the fact that there could be a couple of platoons in 2014, here is what I predict that Yankees' lineup will look like against both lefties and righties.



Lefties

1. Brett Gardner, CF

2. Derek Jeter, DH

3. Mark Teixeira, 1B

4. Robinson Cano, 2B

5. Alfonso Soriano, LF

6. Brian McCann, C

7. Mark Reynolds, 3B

8. Vernon Wells, RF

9. Brendan Ryan, SS



Righties

1. Brett Gardner, CF

2. Derek Jeter, DH

3. Mark Teixeira, 1B

4. Robinson Cano, 2B

5. Alfonso Soriano, LF

6. Brian McCann, C

7. Eric Chavez, 3B

8. Ichiro Suzuki, RF

9. Brendan Ryan, SS


How Long to Nap for the Best Brain Benefits

Taking a nap, we've seen time and again, is like rebooting your brain. But napping may be as much of an art as it science. Scientists offer recommendations for planning your perfect nap, including how long to nap and when.

The sleep experts in the article say a 10-to-20-minute power nap gives you the best "bang for your buck," but depending on what you want the nap to do for you, other durations might be ideal:
For a quick boost of alertness, experts say a 10-to-20-minute power nap is adequate for getting back to work in a pinch.

For cognitive memory processing, however, a 60-minute nap may do more good, Dr. Mednick said. Including slow-wave sleep helps with remembering facts, places and faces. The downside: some grogginess upon waking.

Finally, the 90-minute nap will likely involve a full cycle of sleep, which aids creativity and emotional and procedural memory, such as learning how to ride a bike. Waking up after REM sleep usually means a minimal amount of sleep inertia, Dr. Mednick said.

In addition to those recommendations, one surprising suggestion is to sit slightly upright during your nap, because it will help you avoid a deep sleep. And if you find yourself dreaming during your power naps, it may be a sign you're sleep deprived. While you're planning your nap, don't forget to time it during the right time of day as well.



EA drops football in '14, settles cases as NCAA fights

On a day when legal wrangling over the use of college athletes' names and likenesses prompted video game manufacturer Electronic Arts to announce it will not publish a college football game for at least one year and settle a series of related lawsuits, the NCAA vowed to keep fighting on the issue for as long as necessary.
EA announced Thursday afternoon it will not produce a college football game in 2014 and is "evaluating our plan for the future of the franchise." Within hours, a court filing and lawyers representing former and current college football and men's basketball players said an agreement had been reached to settle claims against EA in three presumptive federal class-action lawsuits.
Terms of the deal remained confidential pending their presentation to various courts, but it is likely to result in the landmark distribution of tens of millions of dollars to thousands of college athletes — including current athletes — whose names or avatars have been in EA games since the early 2000s.
The settlement also covered claims against the nation's leading collegiate trademark licensing firm, Collegiate Licensing Co. That leaves the NCAA as the lone defendant in a case whose named plaintiffs include former UCLA basketball star Ed O'Bannon, former Arizona State and Nebraska football player Sam Keller and five current football players.
Earlier Thursday, the NCAA's chief legal officer told USA TODAY Sports the association is gearing up for that case with even greater resources and resolve than it has before.
Donald Remy said the association has retained one new law firm for the purpose of trial and another, featuring a former U.S. solicitor general, to handle appeals.
"We're prepared to take this all the way to the Supreme Court if we have to," Remy said. "We are not prepared to compromise on the case."
Asked whether the likely cost of such additions to the NCAA's legal team had been approved by association governing panels involved with oversight of the NCAA's finances, Remy said: "This strategy has been discussed by all appropriate bodies and endorsed. The membership supports this handling of the case."
The NCAA's resolve seemed almost welcomed by lawyers representing the plaintiffs, who said they are looking forward to being able to concentrate their efforts on one case and one target.
"Fantastic," Robert Carey said. "We'll see them in court."
Said Michael Hausfeld, another lead attorney for the plaintiffs: "The NCAA now stands alone in its hypocrisy. When you hire a new firm to deal with a trial and a firm to deal with an appeal, it doesn't say a lot about your confidence in your position."
Warren Zola, who teaches sports law at Boston College's Carroll School of Management, said Thursday's settlement leaves the NCAA in a difficult position.
"You are the last defendant standing in a case where everyone else felt that settling was the best solution," he said.
EA's decision to settle came days after its lawyers filed papers asking the Supreme Court to review adverse rulings it had received in a portion of the Keller-O'Bannon case and in a suit filed by former Rutgers football player Ryan Hart. Former West Virginia football player Shawne Alston more recently had filed yet another suit against EA.
NCAA spokesperson Stacey Osburn had no comment on the settlement because the association hadn't seen the terms.
Zola pointed out that it is unclear whether active college athletes would be allowed under NCAA rules to immediately accept money from the settlement or whether the funds may have to be set aside until their college playing careers end.
As for EA, it is putting the brakes on a product that sells about 2 million units per year, according to stock analyst Michael Pachter. The FIFA soccer video game and Madden NFL game sell 12 million and 5.5 million units, respectively, CLC spokesman Andrew Giangola told USA TODAY Sports in July.
In July, the NCAA announced it would not renew its contract with EA after next year, citing business reasons and litigation costs. However, more than 150 colleges, conferences and bowl games approved a three-year contract extension with EA. The only impact at the time was the game would no longer be called "NCAA Football" but rather "College Football," with each school or league continuing to decide whether to opt in or out through CLC.
"This is as profoundly disappointing to the people who make this game as I expect it will be for the millions who enjoy playing it each year," Cam Weber, the general manager of American football for EA Sports, wrote in statement posted on the company's website.
The statement went on to say: "We have been stuck in the middle of a dispute between the NCAA and student-athletes who seek compensation for playing college football. ... The ongoing legal issues combined with increased questions surrounding schools and conferences have left us in a difficult position – one that challenges our ability to deliver an authentic sports experience, which is the very foundation of EA Sports games."

Apple may sell 5 million to 10 million iWatches in first year: analyst

iWatch launch may not boost Apple revenue and profit much, but it could show Wall Street that the company is still innovating

SAN FRANCISCO -- Apple could sell up to 10 million iWatches in the first year it launches the product, adding more than $2.5 billion to the company's top line and over $750 million in profit, according to a recent survey by Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster.
Apple shares rose 1.7% to $491.27 in midday action on Monday.
Munster asked 799 U.S. consumers whether they would by an Apple iWatch that connected to an iPhone for $350. Of those with an iPhone, 12% said they would be interested in the wearable device, while the rest said no, the survey found.
People are less likely to pay up when presented with the actual ability to buy and iPhone users outside the U.S. have less money to spend on another pricey gadget. So Munster "conservatively" extrapolated from the survey to estimate that 2% to 4% of global iPhone users may buy an iWatch in the first year it is available, likely 2014.
With a projected iPhone user base of about 293 million, that suggests first-year iWatch sales of 5 to 10 million units. If Apple ended up selling 7.5 million of the devices at $350 each and with a 30% gross profit margin, that would generate $2.6 billion in revenue and $790 million in profit, Munster estimated.
That is only about 1% of Apple's annual revenue and profit, so the direct financial impact would be limited. However, Wall Street is yearning for new, innovative Apple products, so an iWatch launch could boost confidence that the company still has its mojo.
Apple has not said whether it will launch a smart watch, but CEO Tim Cook said earlier this year at the D11 conference that wearable technology was "profoundly interesting" and that the wrist is a "natural" use case.
"While we do not view the watch as a likely needle-mover for Apple in terms of revenue in 2014, we put it in a similar category as the television in that it could demonstrate Apple's ability to innovate," Munster wrote in a note to investors.
