Good Reason to Get Knocked Up?
|If you had any doubt about having another baby, maybe Project Runway winner Christian Siriano can help. He's launching a maternity line, which may make having a growing belly totally stylish.
|Christian will be showing his regular collection during NY's fashion week this September, but he's got a full maternity line ready to go for Spring 2009. Together with the founders of Moody Mamas maternity clothes, he created the "Fierce For Moody Mamas" line. Fierce, indeed!
|Although we must admit we're totally over most designer maternity lines out there (because they're super expensive and usually not so cute), his sketches look pretty cool. As long as he stays away from those infamous ruffles, and other "only cute on the runway" pieces, we're willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Oh, and P.S., we're also not at all into the $590 dollars for an oversized tee, OK?
You can pre-order Christian's line now on Moody Mama's Web site.

Drummer Lars Ulrich says that Metallica fans will need to wait about two years before they can get their hands of the band's follow-up to 2008's Death Magnetic .
"We're in the early stages of writing, and all I can say is there are some good things lurking," he tells Revolver about the forthcoming release. "We've got to put them into song shape and get our asses in the studio. I hope we can do that by the end of the year, maybe early next year. 2014 is a bit optimistic for the album to come out, so '15 is more realistic."
The next big thing coming up for Metallica will be their second annual Orion Music + More festival, which takes place June 8-9 at Belle Isle Park in Detroit, Michigan. In addition to headlining sets by Metallica and Red Hot Chili Peppers , the event also includes performances from Rise Against , Deftones , Silversun Pickups , Dropkick Murphys and Foals .

Have you thought of Mom yet? Mother's Day is the second Sunday in May. Will you take Mom to another over crowded Sunday brunch? Will you give her a pot of spring tulips?Will you pick up a box of those fancy drug store chocolates? Not sure what to get Mom well then we have the answer! Get her a special Maine lobster dinner shipped to her door step.
The idea behind Mother's Day has roots among the ancient Greeks, who kept a festival dedicated to Cybele, a great mother of gods.And ancient Romans honored their mothers on the feast day of Matronalia, dedicated to Juno, the goddess of childbirth. The predecessor to today's holiday was created by English social activist Julia Ward Howe after the American Civil War, to unite mothers against war.
Whether she's your mother, aunt, daughter, mother-in-law, or a special lady who's treated you with a mother's love, show her how truly special she is with a lobster dinner delivered right to her front door, courtesy of LobsterAnywhere.com!
Lobster Anywhere has shipped luxurious lobster gifts to Mom's in every to state in the USA and as far away as the North Pole, Alaska! Our live lobster gift packages come complete with steel crackers and forks wrapped in fine red and white checkered cotton napkins, step-by-step cooking instructions. And, of course, lobster bibs to undermine the dignity of the whole affair. Lobster Gifts are elegantly packaged with the look and feel of old New England and shipped direct to you overnight, so they're as fresh as if you went to the pound yourself. Treating Mom to gourmet seafood fare like this just might secure your spot as "Family Favorite"!
And with the weather outside warming up, if there's ever been a time for lobster on the grill, it's now. We're currently seeing some of the best lobsters of the season coming across our docks. Need some cooking inspiration? Try our recipe below for grilled lobster tails.
Easy Grilled Lobster Tails
6 cold-water lobster tails (6-7 ounces seach), fresh or frozen
1/4 cup butter melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
more melted butter
Thaw frozen lobster tails. Cut in half lengthwise. Cut 6 pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about 12 x 12 inches each. Please each lobster tail on foil. Combine butter, lemon juice and salt. Baste lobster meat with sauce. Bring the foil up over the lobster and close all edges with tight double folds. Make 6 packs. Place packages on a grill, shell side down, about 5 inches from hot coals. Cook for 8-10 minutes. Remove lobster tails from the foil. Place lobster tails on grill, flesh side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes. DO NOT over cook. Serve with fresh lemon and butter.

To the Editor: Research that focuses on the friendships of people with a dual diagnosis of mental illness and mental retardation is not evident in the literature. Virtually all of the friendship literature has focused on people with a single diagnosis of either mental illness or mental retardation. The findings of published studies largely suggest that people with a single diagnosis tend to look to primarily staff members and to other clients with similar diagnoses to be their friends (1). Studies also reveal that people outside the service system are sometimes identified as friends, however challenging these relationships may be (2). Issues related to stigma are among the major obstacles to making friends, according to the reports of people with mental retardation (3).
In an interview study conducted in 2001, a total of 90 people with a dual diagnosis were asked about their friendships. Responses to questions about the person whom they identified as their "best friend" are reported here. Informed consent was obtained from all participants, and the study was approved by the institutional review board of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Participants were asked to name the attribute that they like the most about their best friend, what they do together, and what they wish they could do. Responses were compared among four types of friends—other clients, staff members, relatives, and outside friends.
The 90 participants were former class members of a federal lawsuit in North Carolina (4). Although they had formerly lived in institutional settings, almost all lived in the community when the study was conducted. The sample included 51 men (57 percent) and 39 women (43 percent). They ranged in age from 26 to 74 years (mean age, 47±12 years). Forty-five (50 percent) were white, 44 (49 percent) were African American, and one was a Native American. Information on diagnoses was obtained from case records. Seventy-nine (88 percent) had a psychiatric diagnosis, including schizophrenia (32 participants, or 36 percent), affective disorder (32 participants, or 36 percent), and impulse control disorder (15 participants, or 17 percent). All had a diagnosis of mental retardation, either mild or moderate.
Participants most often identified either another client or a staff member as their best friend (55 participants, or 61 percent). Best friends with whom they had the most frequent contact were also clients or staff members. Best friends who were known the longest were more likely to be family members or outside friends. The preferred attributes of a best friend seemed most varied for outside friends. A few best friends were spouses, were members of the same church, or shared an activity like sports. However, more than a fourth of the outside friendships were inactive.
Participants who identified staff members as their best friends (27 participants, or 30 percent) often indicated that the friendship was mutual, but the staff members who were involved usually did not agree. Also, many who identified staff members as friends expressed no desire for help in finding other friendships. This finding suggests that many staff could focus more on teaching friendship skills and facilitating opportunities to develop other friendships. Several projects across the country have extensive experience in helping people with disabilities build and sustain friendships in the community (5). Agencies that serve people with disabilities could also focus staff training on some of the issues that emerge from this study. Follow-up research might consider such questions as what factors best predict the formation and stability of outside friendships, and how the friendships of people with dual diagnoses are similar and different from those of people with a single diagnosis.
This study was supported through a contract with the division of mental health, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse services of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
Dr. Dudley is affiliated with the department of Social Work in the College of Health and Human Services at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

When I first started looking for answers about Dads dementia, I focused on possible treatments to add to or replace Aricept, which I didnt think was helping him. As my list of possible treatments got longer and longer, I realized I was a bit naïve.
The Alzheimer Research Forum lists 51 drugs in clinical trials (although 15 of these trials have been discontinued). That doesnt include all the vitamins or supplements Id read might help. For each possible treatment, there are hundreds or even thousands of journal articles and abstracts describing various studies and trials.
Dad didnt live long enough for me to get through my list.
Heres what I've learned so far:
- Many of the treatments available now are expensive, not very effective and have side effects.
It must be frustrating to be a neurologist.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - David and Christine Gee married 41 years ago, a week after Christine graduated from college. After their first child was born, Christine became a stay at home mom and got hooked on "The Price is Right."
"I had a one-year-old and was staying home and watching it every morning. I loved Bob Barker," Christine said.
The Gees wrote away for tickets and joined the audience one late September afternoon in 1977. Christine was two months pregnant with their second child when she got the call.
"He called the wrong name 'Catherine,' my middle initial is O and said, 'Catherine O. Gee.' and I went, 'Wow! That must be me,'" Christine said.
Over the next six minutes, with some excellent coaching from David in the audience, Christine nailed the price of the old-fashioned fireplace and then joined Bob on stage.
Next, the Gees won some cookware, and then a shot at a speedboat and trailer. But that's not all.
"There's the car, the car was unbelievable," Christine said.
A brand new Cadillac Coupe de Ville, Blue Book value of $11,000.
"David said, 'Two, two, two,' I said 'Two,' and that was the number," Christine said.
So what does a young married couple up to their eyeballs in student loans, living in a 700-square-foot home with a second child on the way do?
"We sold the fireplace, took back all the cookware," Christine said.
They also got the money for the boat. Then David took the train up to la and picked up the car.
"Drove it back to San Diego, had 150 miles on it. Put a 'for sale' sign on it and sold it," David said.
"We paid cash into more than doubling the size of our house," Christine said.
It's a house they still live in today.
"Over the years, we lost the tape," Christine said.
Only recently were David and Christine able to secure a copy from an Australian company that owns the rights to "The Price is Right," so now they can relieve their moments of glory. It's an amazing six minutes that have lasted a lifetime.

Publisher Fordham University Press cites the book as "a superlative collection of essays that does what too few scholarly works have dared: it takes seriously the philosophical significance of women's lived experience."
LaChance Adams and co-editor Caroline Lindquist assembled the work of 16 authors, ranging from established feminists to innovative new scholars, to reflect on the experience of pregnancy, childbirth and mothering, and on the beliefs, customs and political institutions by which those experiences are informed.

Single-Family in ESL Exterior and Site Lighting Design Guidelines
Exterior lighting includes any lighting that is mounted outside of livable building areas such as in landscaping, parking areas, along walkways and paths, on the outside of building walls, under eaves and patio covers, under open shed covers and within 3 feet of the openings in buildings where the opening is not regularly closed (such as breezeways and entry courts.
- Zoning Interpretation Regarding Exterior Lighting in ESL (pdf/282kb/2pp)
To achieve low scale requirements exterior lighting can either be:
- low in physical height, i.e. mounted or placed generally below eye level (6 feet), or
- Low in lighting intensity that includes the total of all lamps supported by a fixture. i.e. the maximum capacity of a fixture utilizing one or multiple lamp(s) that are:
a. an incandescent lamp source(s) not exceeding a total of 60-watts and 825 initial lumens,
b. compact florescent lamp source(s) not exceeding a total of 13 watts and 825 initial lumens,
c. a halogen lamp source(s) not exceeding a total of 20 watts and 6500 initial candelas,
d. a LED lamp source(s) not exceeding a total of five (5) watts, or
e. a High Intensity Discharge lamp source(s) not exceeding a total of 825 initial lumens.
To insure minimum light pollution, reduce glare and minimize light trespass onto neighboring properties – Exterior lighting is to be directed downward, recessed or shielded so that:
- the opening for the light is directed down, not sideways;
- the lighting source is hidden from view from off the property by the fixture design or by building structures such as fascia on an eave, walls, pillars, etc.
- the lighting fixture includes a device or feature such as vanes, louvers, fins, etc. that directs the light downward; and
- the lighting fixture includes frosted lenses that are semi-opaque and eliminate the view of the lamp source.
To minimize light trespass
- Exterior lighting must shield the light bulb so it cannot be seen from residential development (properties zoned R or used as residential) or from public viewpoints.
- Translucent and colored glass are not viable options unless the opacity fully blurs or hides the shape and nature of the light source.
- Public viewpoints include public or private streets, public schools or parks, and any open space accessible to the public.
Generally Acceptable:
Generally NOT Acceptable:
The following exceptions apply:

Markus Anders, Stefan Holst, Jim Ippolito, Malcolm McGilp – CD-adapco
Regulatory efficiency requirements for electric machines and the tremendous price rise in material costs of permanent magnets are two important motivators for analyzing the thermal performance of electric machines in greater detail. For a detailed, more accurate thermal simulation, a complete 3D-CAD model needs to be built and multiphase flow calculations are performed. A process where CD-adapco can now offer a more streamlined simulation approach is by combining SPEED and STAR-CCM+.

European exotic-car sales surge in 2012
Porsche had record year; Ferrari and Lamborghini also saw significant increases.
U.S. auto sales hit a five-year high last year, and seven automakers posted all-time records. Although the overall sales figures for European sports cars may pale in comparison with mass-market brands, three of the continent's best-known performance marques enjoyed robust worldwide sales as well.
Lamborghini's worldwide deliveries rose from 1,602 in 2011 to 2,083 in 2012, representing a 30 percent increase from the previous year and the third consecutive year of growth for the Italian supercar brand.
Fellow Italian Ferrari delivered 3,664 cars in the first half of last year -- yearly sales figures were not available -- which was a 7.4 percent increase over the same period in 2011. That's more than Rolls-Royce sold all of last year, but Ferrari is unlikely to top Bentley's 8,510 sales.
Porsche bested both of its southern rivals by selling more vehicles in 2012 than ever before. The German sports-car company sold a record 118,868 cars, an increase of 18.7 percent from the previous year. "We are looking back on the most successful year in our history," Porsche President and CEO Matthias Müller said at the 2013 Detroit auto show this week. Over the past three years, the Stuttgart-based automaker has increased sales by a whopping 83.9 percent.
Porsche said it achieved double-digit growth in all sales regions in 2012. Asia/Pacific ranked first, with 50,376 units and a 23.6 percent increase from the previous year, followed by Europe, with 49,639 new Porsches sold and a 13.5 percent increase.
The U.S. was still the most successful single market for Porsche in 2012, with a total of 35,043 vehicles sold and a 20.7 percent increase in sales. And Porsche is still popular in its home market of Germany, which saw 17,487 cars sold and a 16.9 percent increase.
Lamborghini credits its sales success to the new Aventador LP 700-4, which sold 922 units. But the Gallardo retained its status as the most successful Lamborghini, even after almost 10 years in production: 1,161 were sold in 2012, which put it on par with its 2011 performance.
Lamborghini sales were divided across three regions: Europe at 29 percent; the Americas at 28 percent, of which the U.S. accounts for 25 percent; and Asia/Pacific at 35 percent, of which China is 15 percent. The Middle East and South Africa accounted for 8 percent. Lamborghini said that "despite global market headwinds," the brand grew in Europe by 34 percent versus 2011, in the Americas by 50 percent and in Asia/Pacific by 9 percent.
The top European sports-car makers have no plans to slow down. In 2013, Lamborghini will launch the Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster open-top supercar. Lamborghini says that initial orders for the model have already been exceeded and that the order bank for both the roadster and hardtop versions stretches out over the next 15 months.
For its part, Porsche will roll out two major products: the plug-in hybrid 918 Spyder and the smaller Macan SUV. Because Porsche's most in-demand model worldwide is the Cayenne, the company used the occasion of the Detroit auto show to unveil the new Cayenne Turbo S, rated at 550 horsepower.
All That Glitters...
There's no question that the exotic supercars are absolutely beautifull, but they're simply unattainable dreams for all but the most privilidged and wealthy. It was once said; " Money isn't everything ".... perhaps, but it sure beats the Hell out of whatever is in second place!

If you are like me, you have cursed the new cans with auto shut off after you spill more gas on the ground than you got in the can. When you finally get gas to pour into the tank, it comes out as a trickle. You could probably refine your own gasoline quicker than it pours out with the new auto shut off spouts. Take the frustration away with the EZ-Pour replacement spout kit. This kit is simply amazing! Many of us here at Rural King have replaced our cans with these units and couldn't be happier. The great part is that this kit comes with a 1/2" replacement push in vent to keep the gas flowing fast and prevent it from splashing out. Did we mention this thing is amazing?

Aziz Ansari: I was sitting there with friend and he's like 'Aziz, what you've been up to in L.A.?' and I said - 'Shut up. Because 50 Cent is sitting over there and i need to hear everything he says'. 50 Cent did not disappoint. Okay. He ordered a grapefruit soda, right. Waiter brings him grapefruit soda. And 50 Cent said the greatest thing anyone could ever say when you see a grapefruit soda. He looks at the waiter and goes - 'Why isn't this purple?' And it took me a few seconds and then I realized - Oh my God. 50 Cent has no idea what a grapefruit is. I couldn't believe it. I was like 'Everybody in restaurant you need to shup up right now because a waiter is about to explain to a grown man what a grapefruit is!' I just couldn't believe it! How does he not know what a grapefruit is? He's been rich for so long. He must've run into a grapefruit every now and then. I do 'okay' and I see grapefruit at least every other day.
Everytime I read this I die just a little bit.

– Orioles catcher Taylor Teagarden, sidelined with a back injury since the second Grapefruit League game of the spring, will open the season on the 15-day disabled list.
The move also means that reserve catcher Ronny Paulino, who missed the first three weeks of spring trainingwith visa issues, will make the Opening Day roster.
Teagarden, who will receive a second epidural on his lower back on Monday, is eligible to come off the disabled list on April 10, but he said a return by then would be the "best-case scenario."
"I want to come back feeling good," Teagarden said. "If it's a week after that or something I'd be really happy with that. The way things are going and the strength in my back and the way it's feeling, they are telling me I'm going to start doing a lot more dry-land activity and get out of the pool. I think two to three weeks from now is very reasonable."
Beyond throwing, Teagarden isn't doing any baseball activities. He said he might start jogging and hitting off a tee this week, but he said he's pain-free.
"It's discomfort," Teagarden said. "They'd get concerned if there was sharp pain, and I don't have any sharp pain. I just have discomfort. Every now and again, it will just kind of grab and it will let me know that it's still here. But it's not anything that's anything close to what it was on the actual day that I injured it. Nothing like that."
As for Paulino, a non-roster invitee who signed a minor-league contract, he finds himself back in the big leagues with his fourth major league team. He's stepped in for Teagarden adequately during the Grapefruit League season, but admitted he's surprised he is making the team.
"(I am) kind of (surprised), because it's a short time to learn the pitchers but at the same time, since I've been here, they've been giving me a chance to play and get to know every guy," Paulino said. "The biggest concern I had was getting to know all the starting pitchers, since I've been here, I've been playing almost every day, so it's helping me get to know what kind of stuff they have and their strengths."
Matusz settles in
Orioles left-hander Brian Matusz overcame a rocky start in the first inning against the Tigers on Friday afternoon at Ed Smith Stadiumbut settled in for another steady spring start in his final Grapefruit League outing.
Matusz yielded hits to the first four batters he faced and gave up three runs in a 32-pitch first inning but allowed just one base hit after that.
"(I) just came out of the gates amped up with a lot of energy," Matusz said. "The first inning, it killed me not getting ahead in the count, gave up some two-strike hits. After that first inning, I was able to shake it off and just get back to work with Wieters. I really found a nice rhythm."
Over five innings of work, Matusz allowed five hits and three runs, striking out four and walking one. He ended his outing retiring nine straight batters.
"I felt strong," said Matusz, who threw 86 pitches, 57 of them strikes. "I felt just as strong in the fifth inning as I did in the first. I was able to get my pitch count up and I was able to iron out the mechanical adjustments I've needed to."
Matusz, the favorite to win the No. 5 rotation spot, would be in line to start Wednesday's exhibition against Triple-A Norfolk. On the spring, Matusz allowed 10 earned runs in 24 2/3 innings for a 3.65 ERA, striking out 24 and walking just three.
"I did what I needed to this spring in order to go out and continue to build up my pitch count and get comfortable on the mound again," he said. "I feel like I've built my pitch count up and I'm strong and I've made the adjustments I've needed to mechanically and I feel like I'm on the right track to prepare myself for the season."
Showalter also lauded Matusz's spring.
"From where he was to where he is, I'm happy with the progress," Showalter said. "There's another level and we'll be making those decisions shortly. I'm pleased that he's been able to get a return on what he's put into it. Hopefully, he'll never go back to that place again."
Orioles fall to Tigers, 6-4
Tigers outfielder Tony Plagman drove in three runs, including a two-run triple in the ninth inning off Orioles reliever Jim Johnson to hand the Orioles a 6-4 loss Friday afternoon at Ed Smith Stadium.

Should term limits be imposed on Congress?
This debate has made for many impassioned, provocative, yet fruitful discussions between myself and others. On the one hand, some call for the imposition of term limits (much like the 2-term limit on presidencies) on Congress in order to ensure the interests of "The People" are valued. These same persons believe that should term limits be imposed, Congress will be more openminded, able to understand the youth of the nation, be more attentive to the problems of today versus those of yesterday, and more technologically advanced, educated, and modernized.
On the other hand, some argue term limits would destroy all sense of stability in the Congress. These same persons claim that Congressmen and women who have served for terms on end are much more aligned with the political system, experienced in writing, debating, and passing legislation, and ultimately hold a better understanding of America and its governmental institutions than their newer and/or younger colleagues. As such, they argue term limit imposition would damage the Congress, "The People's" representation, and ultimately the United States.
Still, others compromise and call for term limits on the House of Representatives, which is meant to be more volatile and more keen to the immediate concerns of the "The People" while leaving the Senate immune to term limit imposition, as it is meant to be more stable and more keen to the longterm concerns of the Union.

Dec 10 2012: We think that term limits should be enstated in congress because it allows for more of America to be represented . The point of a democracy is to emcompass the voice of many, therefore, with term limits on congress men and women, it allows American citizens to choose who they want to be in office. With no term limit, this allows for a congressman to stay in office for however long he chooses, however, the country may not be satified with his work in office.

Looks like both Tom Hardy and Jason Statham are being tossed around to play the lead in the upcoming Joel Silver remake of "Escape From New York". It's all just rumors now but either one of them would make a dreamy Snake Plisskin. It's like having to choose between Cheesecake and Pumpkin Pie. You're going to be happy either way and there's no way your ass is going to fit into those new jeans.
Some additional details and the first cast photo of the new "Zombieland" pilot has hit the tubes. It looks like the show, which hopes to run into full production on Amazon streaming service will pick up two weeks after the original film ended. The gang will be leaving Pacific Playland and heading out on a cross country road trip. I assume there will be zombies too. It would be stupid if there wasn't
Jennifer Blanc-Biehn, of "The Divide" fame, is set to make her directorial debut with a new flick titled "The Night Visitor". No real word on what the film's story will be but it looks to be a sci-fi/horror combo shot in the found footage style and shooting is set to begin on April 4th in LA. Just in time for Spring fashion season!
Soon to be Oscar nominated "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" has officially been slapped with a DVD release date and it's going to be June 11th. The film will be made available on all kinds of formats for your viewing pleasure and be chock full of features an unrated version and interviews. I know I'm pretty much come to terms with the fact that I'm going to be too excited to sleep for the next 2 months.
Kids are still walking around with their asses hanging out? I assumed that whole thing died a while back but this 18 year old in Illinois apparently stabbed his father after he demanded he pull up his pants. This is all that Bieber kid's fault isn't it.
I've always assumed it has got to be miserable for a parent to have to chaperone their child's school trip but I can't say I agree with this woman in Florida grabbing the bull by the horns by and getting tanked before her son's trip to a local museum. Wait no I'm wrong, it was a grandmother. This is perfectly acceptable. Old people can do anything they want.
Good signs for the upcoming "Descent" sequel; the MPAA has officially given the film an R rating for strong bloody horror violence, grisly images, terror and language.
Producer Joel Silver is giving weight to the talk of a new "Swamp Thing" film. Among the scare nuggets given in the interview were talks of a 3D version and closer adherence to the Alan Moore comic character versus the Wes Craven rubber suit version.
There's even more zombies coming to your TV, this time in a French feature called "The Horde". The French have had a good track record with horror lately, see if they can live up to the zombie genre with new trailer that was just released.

Last season the Atlanta Braves became one of the first two teams to fall victim to the one-game Wild Card play-in.
Despite finishing with a superior record, they had to watch the St. Louis Cardinals advance while they went home to once again prepare for next season.
The Braves said goodbye to veteran third baseman Chipper Jones, who announced his retirement after 19 seasons in the league, all spent in Atlanta.
The strength of the Braves in 2012 was depth in their lineup, pitching rotation and bullpen which allowed them to overcome both injuries and slumps to maintain a consistent level of performance throughout the entire year.
Though they didn't have any players hit over 30 home runs, Jason Heyward, Freddie Freeman and Brian McCain all crossed the 20-threshold. Freeman also led the team in production, driving in 94 runs.
In the same vein, they didn't have a 20-game winner in their rotation but boasted four double digit win totals with veteran Tim Hudson leading the way with 16 victories and a 3.62 ERA.
The real testament to the team is the way they handled the innings limit of young starter Kris Medlen. While a division rival was eventually forced to shut down their ace, the Braves kept Medlen in the bullpen before eventually granting him a spot in the rotation and watched as he posted a dominant second half of the season.
The Atlanta Braves have united B.J. and Justin Upton to patrol their outfield with speed, power and skill.
Philadelphia might be the City of Brotherly Love, but Atlanta is going to challenge that standing this season as they signed free-agent outfielder B.J. Upton away from the Tampa Bay Rays and acquired his brother Justin, also an outfielder, from the Arizona Diamondbacks.
In both cases the price tag was not cheap, be it dollars or players, but if the Uptons can perform to their abilities, they will make a huge impact for the Braves.
Last season's opening day starter, Tommy Hanson, suffered a mid-season injury and was traded in the off-season to the Los Angeles Angels for reliever Jordan Walden, who will add more security at the back-end of a strong bullpen.
Medlen will move into a full-time starting position and if he can carry over the dominance he showed last season when they finally released the shackles, he will be one of the players to watch - not just on this team but across the entire league.
The Braves did a good job in the off-season replacing any parts they lost through free agency or as cover for injuries they will carry into the early part of the season.
It will come as no surprise when the Braves are once again in the conversation for the NL East crown and/or one of the two Wild Card positions. Staying competitive is what the Braves do best.
Every year, we look for players 26-years-old or younger that could make an impact on their team in the upcoming season. The player might have already established himself with a regular role with the team, or he could make their mark later on in the season.
In 2010 Jason Heyward started off his Major League Baseball career with a bang, going deep on opening day in his first career at-bat. He's been slugging ever since. He followed up that feat by hitting another home run on the first day of the season in 2011 as well.
The Ridgewood, New Jersey-native has been a fixture in right field for the Braves during his three-year career and put up his best numbers in 2012.
He will patrol the outfield this season with Justin and B.J. Upton, who were both added to the Braves roster in the off-season and their speed and production should allow Heyward to once again find himself in many run-producing situations.
His prowess is not just limited to his bat though, as he also captured a 2012 Rawlings Gold Glove Award, the first of his career.
Past Picks: 2012 - Brandon Beachy, 2011 - Craig Kimbrel, 2010 - Tommy Hanson, 2009 - Yunel Escobar, 2008 - Jair Jurrgens, 2007 - Chuck James, 2006 - Brian McCann, 2005 - Jeff Francoeur, 2004 -Adam LaRoche, 2003 - Marcus Giles

Closer Craig Kimbrel is the best at his position, though it's a position that shouldn't warrant an early selection for fantasy purposes. Nevertheless, Kimbrel is head-and-shoulders above other relievers, not only for saves, ERA and WHIP, but triple-digit strikeouts can really help the cause.
The Braves' outfield could be outstanding, if Justin Upton and Jason Heyward play to their considerable potential. While they are still young, that they haven't been able to do so consistently, is part of the reason that they aren't ranked higher. Starter Kris Medlen was nothing short of spectacular in a dozen starts last season. Can he carry that forward for a full year? That promise makes him enticing once the elite starters are off the board.
Veteran starter Tim Hudson and first baseman Freddie Freeman are a pair that could provide some draft-day value. Hudson because he's beyond his peak years and doesn't strike out anyone, but he has 49 wins over the last three seasons.
