Another bad break for Luis Matos could lead to a major shakeup in the O's outfield, but it doesn't have to. With Matos expected to miss six weeks, the Orioles could opt to trade for a center fielder, with Colorado's Preston Wilson or Mike Cameron of the New York Mets among the possible targets. But those are both highly unlikely scenarios, in part because both Wilson ($12.5 million in 2005) and Cameron ($7.3 million) come with hefty price tags.

It is the sudden horror happening on your monitor — you watch as a virus is wreaking irreparable havoc with information being snatched from your system. Documents are erased and images are taken. Your computer is being reduced to an empty shell, with you only able to watch. Malware somehow crept through the wires and it's now activated, stealing documents and music files. Your digital life is under attack and you can only cry, even as you're glad you at least remembered to store all business data on an external hard drive.
The necessity of external hard drives cannot be disputed in this age of Trojan codes and dangerous sources. A computer can become overwhelmed by a virus with shocking ease; and all platforms can be undone, their contents all lost. For those who work from home this is a great threat — budgets, profits and client lists are all on the system and if they are compromised, a company is compromised.
It is essential therefore that all private information be stored on an external hard drive. These are the most important tools a home-based entrepreneur can have, and the Western Digital WD provides one of the best options.
Offered first in late 2009, the Western Digital WD has managed to remain among the top-selling external sources (despite the arrival of more current competitors), and the reasons are obvious. It features more than two terabytes of storage, a 2.0 user interface, 480 megabytes of data transfer per second and compatibility with all major systems (though Windows XP and MAC OS X incarnations are required). This, coupled with an affordable cost of only $120, ensures that it is the best choice for any home business. The product is secure, quick and budget friendly.
The need for an external hard drive cannot be denied as a way to protect data from virus concerns. Choosing the Western Digital WD, however, will make that task a much simpler thing.

So I am not even done cooking this sauce, and I have to rate it 5 stars because I can not stop sampling it. I found the recommended tomatoes at a piggly wiggly, which was weird because they did not have them at a publix? I am following the recipe, and I love the result that is currently on my stove top. Tomorrow I plan to make the pizza marghrita, but for today I will be using the sauce to make bagel pizzas. Wish me luck :)

Lucas Digne (19), Lille OSC (France)
A part of the football guide; Top 10 Youth Stars of Football World in 2013 - future wonderkids.
Player information:
Date of birth: July 20th 1993 (19)
Place of birth: Meaux
Club: Lille OSC
Nation: France
National level: France U21
Position: Left Back, Wide Midfielder
Preferred Foot: Left
Height / Weight: 178, 74kg
Maybe I'm soft for french footballers, but at these days I think France is one of the best nations in Europe to produce quality youngsters, just behind Spain and Barcelonas La Masia.
Lucas Digne is already an established member of the first team of Lille OSC, and could be the most obvious candidate to replace Gael Clichy or Patrice Evra for the France national team, in only two to three years ahead.
Screenshot of Lucas Digne in Football Manager 2013 belongs to Sports Interactive.
Lucas Digne joined LOSC in 2005, only 12 years old, and have been nurtured in one of Frances best talent academies. In their past, LOSC have developed players like Kader Keita, Mathieu Debuchy and Mathieu Delpierre, amongst many interesting youngsters in the current youth setup. Lucas Digne got his first-team breakthrough in 2011 and is contracted to LOSC until 2017. In his entire playing career, he has recorded 33 matches for the first team, which 17 of the total appearances are from the current season.
Lucas Digne is also a familiar player to the youth levels of the France national team, and have experiences from France Under-16, U17, U18 and latest Under-19. He has recently been moved to France Under-21, but has not earned any caps for the squad, maybe beacuse he is one of the youngest players in the squad. He has recorded over 50 appearances since the debut for France U16, and who knows how many he would get before moving to Les Bleus.
Lucas Digne has because of impressive performances the last campaign become one of the most obvious candidates to succeed at the highest level of football in 2013. World class clubs like Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United are all monitoring this ambitious wonderkid, and it's no doubt why.
Lucas Digne has already proved his abilities in a demanding position, where the modern day fullback should balance the team and support both when attacking and defending.
Despite his age, he has the stamina and pace to conquer the left wing and is pretty good at positioning correctly. When it comes to defensive qualities he has pretty much what he needs to succeed; good positioning, good tackling, very good heading and great at reading the play.
Lucas Digne has the abilities to play as a left midfielder or a winger if needed. He is also fairly good in attacking play by moving with the ball, dribbling and passing as his main strengths. He might lack a little bit in crossing, first touch, technique and defending one on one, but he is regarded as a very mature player by his manager Rudi Garcia, and has the professionalism and ambition to improve and become a world class player.
Lucas Digne in Football Manager 2013
Lucas Digne - Player Profile:
We have previously taken a look at his basic information and statistics in his real life football career, and now it is time to take a closer look at his player profile in Football Manager 2013.
Lucas Digne is regarded as one of the Football Manager 2013 wonderkids.
Personality: Fairly Professional
Squad Personality: Ambitious
Main Strength: Speed
Main Weaknesses: Aerial Ability
Best player attributes: Acceleration, Pace
Worst player attributes: Jumping, Passing, Tackling
Preferred foot: Left Only
Natural Player role: Fullback Support
Secondary Player role:Wingback (support)
Third player role: Defensive Winger Attack
Lucas Digne is a versatile player who can play in all the positions on the left flank. He might lack a little in creativity and passing to become a good winger, but lacks equally in tackling, marking and heading to be considered as an excellent fullback.
By scouting we can learn that his hidden attributes strength is important matches, which will make him useful in important matches as he tends to perform better.
Lucas Digne can be purchased for a price range of €7-12Mill and might demand around €15-35000 in wages per week.
Player Development and Training scheduling in FM13:
When scheduling a training for this player, you should consider which type of role and tactic you will use him in.
To improve his defensive skills I would assign him to individual training fullback to improve his positioning, concentration and tackling. If you wants to develop his attacking skills further it might be best to assign the player to wide midfielder to improve his stamina, off the ball, crossing, passing and tackling.

Music mogul Clive Davis and pop star Kelly Clarkson have had a tumultous relationship, and it just got a bit rockier.
This lastest blow up comes after the release of Clive's new autobiography "The Soundtrack of My Life." In it, there are a few stories about the former "American Idol" winner.
One in particular has Kelly fumming: he claims she broke into "hysterical sobbing" to try and get a song included in her album.
So is the feud real or just a ploy to sell books? Yahoo Music Editor Lyndsey Parker tells Studio 11 LA that it is, in fact, "real."
"This feud started in 2007," she said. "This is a real
feud. Definitely."

We have recently taken over management of unit 7307 and are working rapidly with the new homeowners to upgrade and renovate their property. Before your stay we thoroughly cleaned the condo and added brand new fabric shower curtain liners, sheets, pillows and towels. There are many photographs online and we believe it is advertised accurately and that the view from Hanalei Bay Resort is one of the best in the state, particularly from this building. We are available 24/7 as is the front desk and would have been happy to repair the hinge immediately â which we did after your departure. We have since also replaced the living room carpet and the majority of the contents of the kitchen. We were unable to find any holes in the walls or peeling paint. We all look forward to the reopening of the restaurant and front desk which is in progress, however that is beyond our control as private property managers.

We really enjoyed our vacation in Hanalei Bay Resort Condo 7307. The location is great, the view is amazing. The resort is really clean and beautiful. The only complaint we have is that our property 7307 was really dusty. The floor was dirty and the dust was everywhere.
I ALWAYS want our guests to have a PERFECT experience in our condo, and the cleaning staff and I will continue to do everything possible to make this so. I am glad the guests contacted the cleaning staff with their concerns, and we will all continue to be super-vigilant in meeting the guests' needs and expectations.

We stayed for nine glorious nights, a two night extension from our original plan and had a wonderful time. Every person we encountered at the resort was friendly, helpful and truly possessed the aloha spirit. The golf cart service was a must when checking in and also when returning from the shared St. Regis beach on occasion. The Hanalei Bay and Bali Hai view is incredible. On many evenings we watched outriggers cruise by as the sun set. The resort is a quick drive to the market, the quaint town of Hanalei, the Westin, Queen's Bath (inquire with a local on location) and adjacent to ...

The best thing about this condo was the fantastic view which is why we rented it. The resort grounds are spectacular with the exception of the pool directly below us which is old and not up to par. The condo was clean and well-kept, but also needs to be upgraded to today's standards. It looks like it was built in the seventies, and hasn't been remodeled since. I know the restaurant burned down, but the resort needs to add some sort of food service.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay in our condo, but regret the problems you found. We truly pride ourselves on making your stay as perfect as possible, and only wish you had phoned any of the contacts we provide for any guest questions or concerns. Phone #'s for our maid and maintenance staff are provided, or Chuck or the hotel front desk people could have alerted us to the problems. My only guess is the carpet looked stained possibly due to prior guests with not enough turnaround time to get a carpet cleaner in there. The problem has since been resolved. The buzzing noise of the A/C meant it hadn't been turned off. My suspicion is that the odor was from the unit being closed up, as we have never had a guest mention this. Again, we regret these problems, and only wish we'd had the chance to immediately correct or clear up any situations. We want all guests to be thrilled with their stay.
We really strive to provide a spectacular unit with everything a guest could think of provided, from movies filmed in Kauai, boogie boards, flat screens, plentiful & comfortable indoor and outdoor furniture, to fun, cheerful Hawaiian decor. We think the guest receives an amazing value for the best view in the world, in a spacious, lovely condo.

Thank you as well for pointing out the extra little guests that decided to visit you in the kitchen during your stay. It's always a good idea to leave your foodstuffs in the fridge while in Hawaii but if a previous guest party had left out any food, that would explain why they came back looking for more.

PLOD is the ultimate team endurance walking challenge. If you are looking for adventure, have decided it's time to live life to the full, or just want to do something different in 2015, then this is the event for you!
PLOD is not for the faint hearted or the ill-prepared, and we have designed a gruelling course that will probably push you further than you have ever been pushed before.
The 50km trek gets underway, in torchlight, near the pretty village of Aberfoyle at midnight and takes you through some of the most challenging and breathtaking landscapes the Trossachs has to offer. After watching the sun rise, you will push on, through the next day, to the finish line to complete an adventure you will never forget. All of this is played out against the awesome backdrop of lochs, glens and majestic mountains. This circular hike will take you along tracks and paths, through glens, along rivers and burns, past mountains and lochs including, Loch Drunkie, Loch Achray and Loch Venachar, through the village of Brig-o-Turk and sections of the Rob Roy Way. This team-challenge is one not to be missed!
Perfect for groups, friends or work colleagues. Companies looking to develop team bonding will benefit, and for those seeking an out-and-out challenge against their competitors, this event will deliver on all fronts.
We are all about pushing you to the limit. Join us to improve the quality of life for thousands of sick and vulnerable babies and children. We are able to achieve our goals by helping you achieve yours.
If the full PLOD is not for you - then why not take on our PLOD-Lite
Action Medical Research Overnight PLOD Walks
The rules of the PLOD
Team composition: each team must comprise of four walkers only (can be any mix of male/female). Each team needs at least one support driver. No additional walkers will be allowed to join a team.
- Prizes will be awarded to:
- The overall winners who are the first full team over the finish line, a full team consists of four walkers and one driver, the fastest team over the finish line and the highest fundraising team.
- all teams must raise a minimum of £1,500 per team
- this is a realistic target but we hope that you, like many previous teams raise much, much more!
- an online sponsorship page was automatically set up for you when you registered
- spend time personalising your page with your team names and photos, and a couple of paragraphs about why you are taking on this challenge
- make sure all team members have this sponsorship link so friends, family and colleagues can sponsor online, safely and securely
- sponsor forms are also available online
- captains should ensure Action have received at least 50 per cent of the fundraising target (£750 one week prior to the event. Remaining funds must be received no more than four weeks after the event.
General preparation and training
Train well for the PLOD and you will get through the challenge safely and have a much more enjoyable time. For any long distance walking challenge there is only one form of training that will ensure you perform well –walking! No great surprise there. If generally fit and do lots of sport – you will be off to a good start. This event will see you on the trail non-stop around 12–17 hours. Many a good marathon runner and endurance cyclists throw in the towel so do not make any assumptions that walking is easy. Your PLOD success is about teamwork so the more training you can do together, the better. We all need a little encouragement when the going gets tough.
Your questions answered
If you are unable to find a team, contact us and we can put you on another team if a place becomes available. You will be notified as soon as you can join.
Participants must be 18 and over. Participants aged 16 can take part, but must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
Yes, the PLOD organisers will be setting up and happy to say hello.
Yes, as long as you have prepared, follow our advice and stick together as a team. Your briefing will include advice on what to do in an emergency.
No, but it will help if a team member understands how to read a map and a compass. You will be provided with written route instructions. Particularly tricky sections of the route will be marked.
The terrain is tough in parts and depending on fitness levels, some teams will be on the trail for 12–17 hours. If you want to enjoy this event, and finish, then we recommend that you increase your fitness levels and endurance training properly.
Check out the recommended list of kit items that the team should be carrying. Keep to the essentials and avoid doubling up on basic items. Your main items will always be water, basic first aid kit, spare warm and wet weather clothing, a torch, route maps, and mobile phones.
Changes to the team's details can be made online up until a week before the event, when the website will be closed. If a team member changes after this point email Cecilia on firstname.lastname@example.com giving the name and full details of the replacement walker. If you have less than four walkers, your team will forfeit points.
We recommend that you have a good pair of walking boots with ankle support. Make sure you have broken them in! Wicking tops are advisable, make sure you have clothing items to keep you warm or cool, depending on conditions. Check the recommended kit list for precise details.
Yes, there is food at the breakfast stop and at the end. Advise organisers, in advance, of any dietary requirements.
Support crew are responsible for ensuring their support vehicles are both roadworthy and suitably covered by motor insurance. You will need a vehicle capable of transporting kit, food, drink and team members.
