Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.
The New American
July 12, 2013
President Obama's nominee to head the FBI told senators that he opposed the use of drones to kill Americans inside the United States unless they qualified as "imminent threats" to the security of the homeland.
At a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on July 9, prospective FBI director James Comey (shown in inset) testified that targeting U.S. citizens for drone assassination should be an option only when they are "imminent threats," although he failed to define that crucial term.
Comey's comment came in response to a question by freshman Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Cruz, a consistent defender of individual rights, asked Comey if he believed "that the Constitution allows the United States government to use a drone to target with lethal force a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil, if that individual does not pose an imminent threat." Comey responded that he did not believe it did.
There are a couple of problems with that exchange. First, Senator Cruz should have tailored that question much more narrowly, preventing Comey from theorizing a scenario where an American could be killed by a drone piloted by an agent of the federal government.
Second, Comey's terse response (he answered a simple "no" to the question Cruz put to him) presaged the possibility not only that an American could be targeted for a drone strike, but also that the justification for a death resulting from such a strike could be hidden behind a haze of vague language and slippery standards.
Comey comes by his imprecision honestly. At a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee in June, outgoing FBI Director Robert Mueller testified that his agency has used drones to monitor American citizens within the United States. Using typically ill-defined language, Mueller qualified the admission by saying the unmanned aerial vehicles have been used in only a "very, very minimal way."
During his testimony it seemed Mueller was almost coining words in order to dramatically downplay the use of drones in the FBI's domestic surveillance. "And I will tell you that our footprint is very small. We have very few and of limited use and we're exploring not only the use but also the necessary guidelines for that use," he testified.
Mueller's testimony was the first time that the FBI admitted deploying drones to monitor citizens. The key word in that last sentence being "admitted."
"It's very seldom used and generally used in a particular incident when you need the capability," Mueller said. "It is very narrowly focused on particularized cases and particularized needs."
Some of those "particularized needs" were described in further detail by FBI spokesman Paul Bresson. In his testimony, Bresson said that the bureau used a drone to support local law enforcement during the standoff and hostage situation in Alabama in January of this year.
As Bresson described the deployment, the drone was used then in a way typical of the "very limited circumstances" when the FBI can use them to support a "specific operational need." The drones, he added, "allow us to learn critical information that otherwise would be difficult to obtain without introducing serious risk to law enforcement personnel."
Neither Mueller nor Comey (nor Bresson, for that matter) was pressed at their respective hearings to commit to a specific standard for the use of drones by domestic federal law enforcement. Constitutionalists know, however, that the standard has already been set. That standard is the Fourth Amendment.
On July 9, however, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) sent a letter to Director Mueller asking him to clarify his remarks regarding the FBI's use of drones in domestic surveillance. In the letter (the second sent by Paul to Mueller), the senator wrote:
Given that drone surveillance over American skies represents a potentially vast expansion of government surveillance powers without the constitutionally-guaranteed protection of a warrant, it is vital that the use of these drones by the FBI be fully examined in an open and transparent manner. The American people have a right to know the limits that the federal government operates under when using these drones, and whether further action by Congress is needed to protect the rights of innocent Americans.
Paul warned Mueller that should his inquiry go unanswered, he "will object to the consideration of that nomination and ask [his] colleagues to do the same."
As Senator Paul indicated, the Fourth Amendment protects the "right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures."
Furthermore, the Fourth Amendment also protects fundamental principles of justice by requiring that the government may rely only on warrants that are based "upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
While it is new, the FBI's admission of its use of drones to conduct unwarranted surveillance, the act of ignoring liberty and the Constitution that protects it is not novel.
As the documents released by Edward Snowden reveal, the NSA has just as little concern for constitutional limits on its power or the inalienability of certain fundamental rights.
President Obama, for his part, has embraced yet another standard for greenlighting a domestic death by drone. The White House claims that killing Americans without due process is "legal," "necessary," "ethical," and "wise."
In commenting on a white paper released by the Justice Department and obtained by NBC News, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney used these words to describe the targeted assassination of American citizens overseas. Those marked for death by drone are those believed by the president to be collaborating (in a notably undefined manner) with "al-Qaeda and its associated forces."
In a footnote, the Justice Department explains that the "laws of war" will be used to determine whether a group is a "co-belligerent" with al-Qaeda. That is the sum of the guidance and notice given to those Americans residing overseas who might unknowingly be targets for the next Hellfire missile.
In the newly released memo, the Justice Department insists that such life or death decisions will be handled by "an informed, high-level official of the U.S. government." That is hardly sufficient protection of the due process rights of Americans. Due process requires that the suspected terrorist "co-belligerent" be charged with a crime, allowed to answer those charges, and defend himself against those charges before an unbiased judge in court.
In the spirit of the testimonies of Comey and Mueller, the Justice Department white paper argues that such constitutional procedures must be by-passed in the name of national security, arguing that the safety of America is more important than the constitutionally protected rights of one individual. The document propounds the "imminent threat" standard, as well, claiming that only those who pose an "imminent threat of violent attack against the United States" will be targeted.
When asked later in the hearing about whether he thought that civilian-piloted drones posed "security concerns," Comey replied, "I do, even as a private citizen reading about the increasing availability of drones. I watched what to me was a sobering video of someone who had put a firearm on a drone and fired it remotely while flying one of these cheaply acquired drones, a hundred-dollar drone. It's certainly something that lies in our future if not in our present."
Again, Comey demonstrates a lack of understanding of basic principles of constitutional law.
The Constitution is a compact between sovereign states wherein the parties created an agent — the federal government — and granted it a small slate of enumerated powers. The articles and amendments of that document are meant to establish the scope of the agent's powers, not to control or criminalize civilian behavior. State laws ably serve that purpose.
Furthermore, while it may be within the FBI's purview to investigate accusations of illegal use of drones by private citizens, it is unqualifiedly not within that organization's authority to violate the restrictions of the Fourth Amendment. The Fourth Amendment, moreover, was included in the Bill of Rights in order to protect "the people" from attempts by the federal government to deprive them of their God-given right to be free from unwarranted watching.
At the conclusion of the hearing, lawmakers were reminded that they have one week in which to submit written questions to Comey.

|I am no doubt one of the few to climb this one after other routes on the Hulk. With Peter S. I led the cruxes, pitches 1-3 as one (great suggestion-full 70m from under the first bulge), the dihredral itself (to me the 5.10b move is appropriately graded (it is awkward and requires you to find the singular sequence)and the 7th pitch which has a fantastic 5.10a splitter on it. The rest of the route moves fairly quickly as noted. We made the face in 6 pitches and then the shorter 2 pitches to the summit. You do need a 70m to do it from the belays, but it is definitely the way to go: 1-3; 4; 5-6; 7; 8-9(half); 9(half)-10; 11; 12. The descent does suck (loose scree and such, thus I concur you should always rap when doing any of the other routes. We did it base to base in 6hrs+. Had then entire face to ourselves on a Sunday!

AREVA Wind: offshore wind energy
A 100%-owned subsidiary of the group, AREVA Wind designs, assembles and commissions offshore wind turbines.
Its M5000 turbine (5MW) is the first wind turbine in the world designed using technology specifically developed exclusively for large-scale offshore wind parks.
Performing with gusto
AREVA Wind's main production facility is based in Bremerhaven in North Germany, with a workforce of about 300 individuals. This plant is dedicated to the production of the M5000 wind turbine nacelles and hubs, which are then delivered directly at quayside.
The blade factory is located in Stade, close to Bremerhaven.
In that way, ideal preconditions for the transport to the offshore wind farms are created. The in-house team of experienced technicians installs all components of the nacelle and the hub, including the sensitive components of the drive train.
The maritime environment in Bremerhaven offers the best conditions for installation, service and maintenance of wind energy converters off the coast of Germany.
Today, Bremerhaven is held up as an example for the European offshore wind industry. Thanks to the support the city received to help it branch out into offshore wind, Bremerhaven alone has attracted half of the 500 million euros invested in the industry in the last few years.
A strong industrial strategy
Since 2000, AREVA has been developing, planning and producing the M5000, the first 5 MW wind energy converter designed exclusively for large-scale offshore wind parks. Highly qualified technicians - specialists from all areas of the wind energy sector – are working hand in hand with component suppliers.
This expertise combined with many years of experience results for AREVA in a powerful competitive edge, both in knowledge and technical know-how, which is consistently realized in production, commissioning, service and maintenance.
On the strength of this experience, it is now ready to develop an industrial base in France to meet the needs of the domestic market, and even the European market.

Well, onto the boring stuff:
I'm Analisa, a fifteen-year-old girl with no life. Thus, here I am.
I like HP, reading, writing, fan fiction, hanging out with friends, shopping, and a lot of other random stuff.
You should all read my favorite stories and stories of my favorite authors, because they're my favorite for a reason.
I have one story up *points below* and am working on some more. The first chapter of a chaptered fic is with a beta, and another one-shot is in the queue.
Name: Analisa (or Analisical, depending on who's talking). Other nicknames I've heard include Ana, Anni, Lisa, Lis, Alisa, An, and "Hey, You!" but Analisa works just fine, thanks.
Age: Five hundred and twenty-three. Minus five hundred and nine. You can figure it out.
Zodiac sign: Pieces, like a fish (actually, I'm not that good of a swimmer, but oh well)
Ships: *points at username* Other than that, I don't particuarly care for any of the other canon ships (Harry/Ginny, Remus/Tonks, Lily/James). I can live with them, but I don't ship them. I can handle most ships, but usually not student/teacher, and definitely not Snape/Hermione or Harry/Hermione. I don't like most slash pairings, except for Remus/Sirius, which is growing on me.
Favorite category I like Marauder era and Romance best (though of course it depends on the sub-cat in Romance). Many people like D/A, but they just depress me, and I don't personally like being depressed. I read from every category, though, depending on my mood.
Favorite characters: I like Ron and Remus, closely followed by George, who for some reason insists on dragging Fred along with him. *sigh* You'd think they were siamese...
Favorite HP book: It's a tie between PoA and HBP. DH might conquer, though, when it's out.
Favorite non-HP books: I really like Heir Apparent, by V.V.V. I also love the Piratica books. Recently, I've been reading the Uglies series. I like the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, the Clique, anything by Meg Cabot, and about a thousand other books that I can't think of right now. I read super fast, so I can go through a 400 page book in a day, easy. I read a lot, so usually the only problem is finding a book I haven't already read. (In short, I end up re-reading a lot)
Favorite movies: Harry Potter movies, obviously. PotC movies (a recent obsession), LotR movies (epics!), Star Wars (call me a geek, but I love them), Titanic (no matter what you say, it's the saddest, most romantic movie ever!), High School Musical (before everyone went beserko and Disney began hyping it up, which annoyed me), Finding Nemo, Miss Congeniality, Hidalgo, the Little Mermaid, O Brother Where Art Thou, Oh dear me I can't think of any more...
Favorite food: Chocolate! And, um, as for real food...I could live off of bread, salt, and Diet Coke. Healthy, isn't it?
Favorite animal: Um...let's say a dodo, just for the heck of it.
Favorite color: Aqua. This one color I've only seen twice in my life on an Atlantis Resort commercial. Never seen that commercial again, or that exact shade of blue-green, but it's my favorite!
*decides not to bore you people anymore*
*vanishes in a swish of robes*
Until next update, dear friends! ;)
Now with more Snape down the Whomping Willow! Check out Chapter 10: A Highly Amusing Joke and Chapter 11: Skyfall

My wife gets laid by a black guy at least once a week, I love watching her get jackhammered by a big black cock, I love it when she cheats on me with one of the brothers
I want to be fuck by that black cock for at least a whole day and a whole night...non stop!

Turn on A white woman sucking a black cock and the best part was she ASKED him to cum in her mouth and drained his dick afterward.If a woman is going to fuck and suck she has to get with the program and put her all into it and she did
Me gustaria hacerlo si pero con mi marido presente
Appel moi
I'm a white guy but I don't understand why more white women don't go after the BBcs likie they could. White guys need to understand that the black man has more endurance and drive and that's why white girls prefer them for sex.
Wow that was some sexy fuck. I would have dragged him to my bed and fucked him all day
WOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish this guy was doing work for me.I would let him fuck me good
I can do some work for you
I drain my neighbors son's gorgeous black cock and balls almost daily after he is home from school. When I don't I get depressed not being able to suck the cum out of him to hold his big balls squeezing them as he shoots his nut down my throat. He wants to fuck me and I want that to but right now it is on hold. I have to consider if I want to take the chance of getting knocked up by a 17 year old or start the pill. Would never use a condom on that big beautiful young cock.

After they have had their way with me and they are leaving I always want them to think about my pussy and mouth and how much I loved their nut. How about you? Kisses

He had just left his wife and I was fighting a lot with my husband; since one of his runs goes past my house I invited him in to talk about out problems Since I had never seen a black cock before I asked him if I could see his. Wow - I had never seen a cock so large. I ask him if I could give him a blow job. Sex was wonderful. Since my children like J. R. better than their dad - we all moved in with him.

My husband is gone on a business trip - again! and my step daughter is gone for the summer to her cousins. When my husband is home he is too tired, too drunk or has to go back to the office to "work" He does have a mistress but I don't know who she is. This time when I was home alone I invited my neighbor over. I have never had sex with a black man so I thought this would be an exciting day. It sure was and it will also be the beginning of a divorce.

@Jaysun: I have been thinking of tasting a BBC for quite some time. My husband said it was my decision but he would support it. It finally happened - rather by coincidence - on a weekend trip with the hotel barkeeper: This guy really had a 10 incher or even more. I got so excited that both men had to quiet me because of the neighbors! When we got back in our room, my husband, who is quite well equipped too, was so steamed up that he took me from behind. I came again twice ... After all, it was experience I would never miss: Don't just think of it, do it!
Lol He Coulda Done Better
Usual American porn................
She isn't all that hot and his cock, while apparently nicer than her husband's, isn't so big. I guess I've seen too mcuh of the likes of Mandingo, Vanessa Del Rio and Lex Steele. Good direction, nonetheless.
If you need another man to satisfy your wife, then you fail as a husband. You should just divorce your wife so that a better man can satisfy her.
omg her feet are hawtttt
Holy shit. She's so hot.
damm i like the guy hes so hot
The brotha is named Jon Jon. He has been in a few other porn flics.
poor husband !
single and virgin.....you poor thing!!!
Last night my hubby filmed my blond divorced sexy friend getting fucked by 2 latino studs .I GOT SO HOT WATCHING.They absolutely porked her brains out.
HI GUYS wHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FUCK ME
Nice Bryan...I'm there!! I checked it out and commented over there.
Jaysun- check out "Amateur Orgy meet and greet." THAT's where we should send our wives (with us filming, of course).
Yea, Bryan, that would be HOT to see both our wives gang banged by 4 or 5 black guys!! Man, black cocks all around them ready to be sucked and to pound their holes!! I'm gonna have to go jerkoff just thinking about it!!
Ted- Sign us up! Would LOVE to see my wife fucked by a BBC. Fucked by 4 or 5 would be Incredible!!! I would even love to watch Jaysun's wife get gang-banged.
Ted, sounds like a bit of work but I guess if you want to, it's up to you! I think it's like you said earlier...Ibet there are a lot of white guys who woul;d secretly love to see their wife/gf get it on with some black studs with huge cocks. There must be somethign too it since there are so many white women who go after it. As I said, my wife and I know several. I think it's funny/interesting they are trying to talk her into doing it. I know she wants to, just a matter of getting her over the hump. I even had a friend tell me my wife would look so hot fucking black guys with her pale skin and red hair, as you said too. Plus he said they'd for sure enjoy her big chest!! I gotta agree...would love to see her being taken by a couple well hung black studs who would just give her a good hard fucking in all positions!!! What do you think??
Jaysun... I did check out that clip. Your wife does sound very hot. I too would love to see her sandwiched between two big brothers with 10-inch trouser snakes. I love watching fair-skinned, red-haired Irish types like her made into the cream of a human Oreo cookie. Now... about my rental place idea. I keep thinking this could & would be a lot of fun for a lot of 'like-minded' people. I have thought about setting up a web-site with these really hung black guys pics & bios. Kinda let the women pick who they want before arriving at the house for their night of fun. I would also have all these guys routinely tested and have their test results posted on the web-site. Everyone would have to pay for a memebership to the web-site and go through an extensive (but discreet) criminal background check. Condums would be a must. The black guys would be paid for their modeling and bios... that way there wouldn't be guilty of prostution. What do you think? I wonder how many (white) men and women (couples) share this secret fantasy/fetish?
One of the best names for a porno movie I have ever heard is Now you see it, now you don't!! LOL
Wow, never saw that episode but it sure sounds interesting. I'm still working on getting the wife to go through with a BBC experience, so your rental idea might be a ways off for me. But the idea is intriguing.....seeing her get it from 4 or 5 black guys in a gang-bang type scene. Whew, that would be hot!!! Heck, a couple of people have even told me she would look good getting fucked by a black guy... she is a red head with pale skin. Her body (and chest) is pretty similar to a video on here called "Lou-Ann Loves Cock."
Jaysun... go for it! You and your wife will have the time of your life. Some years back I watched an episode of 'Nip/Tuck' and there was a show about men who took their wifes to this house where there were 20-30 black studs there to fuck their brains out. I have been thinking about renting a place where I and others who like the interracial play could get together like that. Hey... just curious... what's your wife's description and where are you guys located?
I couldn't agree more Ted! My wife and I are about the same age as you and I'd love to see her with a black guy with a huge cock!! She actually has quite a few friends who have been with a black guy or are married to one, proving your point. She has one good friend who is married to a black guy and she has told my wife it is the best sex she would ever have!! We went to their wedding a few months ago and this chick's husband had a good friend who stood up in the wedding. We met them and everything and I guess after my wife's friend told her that she kind of mentioned to him that my wife might be interested in trying black cock. I guess the guy said that he would be happy to give her her first black cock experience, just to let him now. I guess he even said she has the kind of body he likes! And my wife's friend told her-via her hubby-that he has a really good sized cock too. So I know my wife fantasizes about it because her friend is always telling her how good the sex is with her hubby and how she is always orgasming like crazy when he's screwing her. I just gotta get her over the hump and actually do it!!! I know she'd love it and it would turn me on to see that big black cock buried in her pussy and seeing her orgasm like crazy!!
I simply cannot get enough of these brothas with huge black cocks putting a pounding on these hot/cute/sexy white chicks. I am a 38 year-old white male. I really like hot white woman who let me share/watch them. To the guy who said that it was racist to want black guys to fuck your lady for you... he is crazy... Face it guys... if we had cocks like that... there wouldn't be so many white women slipping around and getting huge black cocks on the 'down-low'... If you think you girlfriend/wife hasn't done it or at least fantasized about it... you are sadly mistaken. I prefer to let the ladies in my life get it right in front of me. I am secure enough to take it. Hell, I actually love to see them pleasured. It's just physical pleasure. It doesn't mean she's gonna fall in love with them. Shit... some girls have told me that it made them think more of me because I wanted them pleased.
I would be SOOO mad if my wife fucked this guy when I was away from home. I want to be right there next to her when she fucks this guy!............. with my camera....and the lighting guy....I'd want to get it right.
becox other guyz fuck her better than her husband i guess
hahahahahaha @ what ojsimpson said, idk if it was a joke or not but it was funny as fuck and if this was real youd be right.
is one of the best video for meeee..
Now that was some quality fuckin!
once u go black, no one wants you back!

1) Regarding the "honeymoon", did you expect the outcome to be different, that Bella would have been hurt much worse? Or less?
I had a feeling that something was going to happen..i actually thought something worse than bruises but I was glad that nothing worse happened.
2) In terms of Edward's reaction to hurting Bella during the night. . . Do you think he was justified in expressing his anxiety by "souring Bella's mood?"
No! He should be happy because she was happy..I understand why he would be like that but he just made Bella feel terrible.
3) Apparently Edward's extreme generosity is a learned behaviour. Do you think it is? And what is your opinion on that?
I think he always had it in him but it just hid away after so many years of not having anything exciting in his life.
4) Edward confirmed that he will not make love to Bella until she is changed, did you expect he would falter in his promise to himself?
Yes because he had done it before...he promised to leave her alone but he went right back to her. He would do anything to make her happy and I saw it coming when reading the book.

L.A. has had internal discussions about trading for the Knicks' small forward, even running his name by a certain center who had trouble getting his shot off against Yao Ming.
No word on what it will take to get Sprewell, although the two Lakers mentioned, Derek Fisher and Samaki Walker, add up to only $4.5 million in salaries. That's about $8 mil shy of Sprewell, so more players would have to go to the Knicks.
Fisher and Walker???
that's just unacceptable!

The first season of the Women's Professional Soccer league produced smaller crowds and bigger financial losses than anticipated. Of course, the nation's economic downturn has been blamed, and the analyses of the league's struggles have focused on off-the-field issues.
By Mike Woitalla (from Soccer America Magazine's Youth Insider)
Yes, media coverage is difficult to get as newsroom staffs keep shrinking. Sponsorships are a hard sell in this economic climate. And WPS's attempts to tap into the lucrative youth soccer market is tricky business. By launching camps, it competes with and antagonizes the youth clubs and organizations whose players it's trying to get into the stadiums.
But what really matters is whether the soccer on the field is entertaining enough to draw crowds and keep them coming back.
The primary customers for WPS are girl soccer players - and the parents and coaches who deem it worthwhile to take their daughters out to watch potential role models.
The notion is that girls will be inspired by watching stars of their own gender. They'll be encouraged to watch more soccer - a key to player development - because they'll enjoy watching WPS games.
But what do young, aspiring soccer players see when they attend WPS games?
What they rarely see is goals. The league averaged 2.14 goals per game. That's even lower than Major League Soccer's current 2.54 production.
There are problems here. For one, if a coach or a parent is taking girls to WPS games to learn by observing, what are they learning? They're certainly not seeing enough scoring to figure out how that's done.
Come watch WPS to see good defending! How enticing is that, especially as there is no shortage of stifling anti-soccer on the market already?
Are the girls attending WPS games being entertained when a goal occurs only once every 42 minutes? That is simply an unacceptable rate. More than a third of WPS's 70 regular-season games featured just one goal or were scoreless ties.
Defense-minded, low-scoring soccer plagues men's soccer. Wins by 1-0 might be celebrated by fans with a deep allegiance to the winning club. But such allegiance doesn't exist in a new, American league. And the youngsters of today's America have so many entertainment options they're unlikely to find thrills from soccer games played out like chess matches.
That's not to mention the adults who take them to the games. Often they are already spending much of their time on soccer, bringing their children to games and practices a few days a week. If they spend even more time and money on soccer by attending a pro game, they'd better be rewarded with some major entertainment.
Yes, of course, low-scoring soccer games can be entertaining. But rarely. Who would opt for a 1-0 match over a 3-2 game? The coach might. But not the fan.
WPS teams had a chance to prove themselves above an attitude to the game based on preventing rather than producing goals. WPS could have distinguished itself making soccer's most thrilling moments - the goals! - more frequent and offering an alternative to the depressingly downward scoring trend we have seen in the men's game. Instead, WPS delivered even less than the men.
WPS collected the world's best female players ever to play in one league - and they produced one of the lowest scoring leagues the world has ever seen. Imagine how that reflects on the sport and women's soccer in general. Here's the world's best - and they rarely put the ball in the net.
WPS owners, I imagine, are spending the offseason reevaluating their marketing strategy. But they should also be questioning their coaches on how and why they took a low-scoring sport to new depths.
The coaches' responses are predictable. They will defend their defensive approach. They'll say their jobs are on the line if they don't get results. And that in soccer it's easier to get results by playing cautiously. That's when their bosses should make it clear that there will no jobs if there aren't more goals.
But because coaches aren't easily enticed to make the game more fun and exciting, WPS should go a step further and introduce a point system that rewards goalscoring.
The friendly autograph sessions and the lure of female role models isn't enough to make WPS a success.


text: This is how I fixed mine: "Because my SS ROA was shooting so high, I notched out my rear sight and used a drift punch to remove the front pin and put the front sight blade from my SS .45 Colt Blackhawk in its place. Ruger couldn't find a replacement for my Blackhawk so I put the original blade back on the Blackhawk and cut out a blade from 1/8" flat stock and drilled and pinned it in the ROA. I left it VERY tall and dressed it down to a manageable height. The 1/8" stock was a little under sized so I epoxied it in place and pinned it. With your machining skills (and tools) I'm sure it would be a piece of cake for you to do a better job without the epoxy."

SHOWELL – Although the Assawoman Bay watershed has not yet been assigned a pollution limit, county planners are hard at work on a watershed restoration action plan (WRAP).
At a public meeting this week, Worcester County planners reviewed 13 Best Management Practices (BMPs) intended to reduce nutrient loading on the bay.
"Our analysis included a whole lot of BMPs," said Worcester County planner Keota Silaphone. "We're doing a whole laundry list of stuff for the entire watershed."
If all 13 practices were implemented, and continued every year for 10 years, the total cost could reach $6.4 million. That figure, Silaphone said, is not just for start-up costs or for a single year of projects.
Silaphone emphasized that the report is in progress. "Our elected officials have not reviewed this plan nor have they approved it," she said. "It's a very, very draft plan."
Once approved, the entire plan would be revisited regularly to make adjustments.
"We don't have an approved TMDL (total maximum daily load), that is, a pollution allowance from the state," Silaphone said.
The TMDL assignment will almost certainly require changes to the WRAP.
Some of the BMPs have already been implemented in this watershed, Silaphone said, and the approach to this plan was to identify what more can be done. At the moment, the county is assuming the need to reduce nitrogen levels in Assawoman Bay by 24,000 pounds a year, but that number could be much greater, she said.
Five BMPs target agricultural nutrient run-off. The plan calls for another 977 acres of cover crops in the watershed, as its first BMP.
The second BMP would restore or create 27 acres of wetlands on farmland bordering the bay's headwaters and redirect water through offline wetlands to allow nutrients and sediments to be filtered out before rejoining drainage ditches.
Trees would be planted on 15 acres of critical resource area or easily eroded soil under the third BMP, which is surprisingly controversial.
"That recommendation is a sensitive issue because farmers don't like trees on farmland," Silaphone said.
There is a state program that already pays farmers to plant trees.
"Once you plant trees, you're never going to take it back out for agriculture," County Commissioner Virgil Shockley, a farmer, explained at the meeting. "When you plant that tree, there's no more ag land."
Shockley recalled that clearing forestland years ago cost more than buying farmland. "Trees are terrible if you have to clear it out," he said.
The fourth BMP would monitor farmers for compliance with the required nutrient management plan. Currently, no one inspects farms for compliance.
BMP five would install baffles in drainage ditches to hold back or slow down stormwater to allow sediments and nutrients to settle out of it. This practice could be used to form the wetlands called for under BMP two, Silaphone suggested.
Urban and open urban areas also have a part to play. BMP six would retain 340 acres of existing infiltration practices, like swales, which store water as it filters into the ground, and add 15 more.
"I think we can do better than 15 acres. I think that's kind of low," said Dave Blazer, director of the Maryland Coastal Bays Program, at the meeting.
Nutrient management practices for urban and suburban areas fall under BMP seven.
MCBP has a conservation management plan with a lot of outreach information available, said Gail Blazer, Ocean City Environmental Engineer. "People would do the right thing if they know what it is," she said.
The eighth BMP would plant trees on 40 acres of open and suburban land to increase the tree canopy.
Septic systems make a big contribution to nutrient pollution in the local waters, and the watershed plan calls for upgrading 39 existing septic tanks to reduce nutrients released into the environment as the ninth BMP.
The 10th BMP would require regular pumping and maintenance of septic systems. "The theory is people should be required to take care of their systems," said Silaphone.
Atmospheric deposition is more difficult to get a handle on, with some pollution circulated through the atmosphere from mid-Western coal plants to the Eastern Shore, where it ends up in the water.
The 11th and 12th BMPs, lowering automobile emissions, and working with Sussex County, Del., to lower car and other sources, will require planning changes on a larger scale to provide alternatives to cars like bike lanes and sidewalks.
The last BMP, to plant trees around chicken houses, is already being promoted by Perdue Farms.
County staff will next meet with other experts and their Sussex County counterparts to discuss technical aspects of the watershed plan, before putting a final draft together.

With the variety of new, lower-cost HDV video cameras on the market today, just about any event videographer can afford to shoot in high definition. Recent versions of popular NLEs have been upgraded to handle HDV editing, and most new editing systems can handle the processing demands associated with HDV postproduction. Unfortunately, due to the format war between HD DVD and Blu-ray, the video production world has been waiting for a solution to deliver HD content to their clients, and fit the technology into their workflow the way DVD Studio Pro has integrated with Final Cut Pro, DVD Architect with Vegas, and Encore DVD with Premiere Pro. And in the absence of HD DVD burners up to this point, most of us are waiting for an answer from the Blu-ray side.
It appears the wait may be over, with software giant Adobe selecting Blu-ray as their format choice for delivery of HD video in the new CS3 version of Encore, which debuts in July with the release of Adobe CS3 Production Premium. Here's a quick walkthrough of Blu-ray Disc workflow in Encore CS3.
CS3 Basics While Premiere Pro CS3 lacks the built-in DVD authoring tool found in Premiere Pro 2.0, the integration with Encore is much tighter in the new version. This allows the user toexport their edited timeline right into Encore. You can export your HDV timeline in the Blu-ray format as astraight-play Blu-ray Disc or a fully authored Blu-ray Discwith menus.
Even better, once your encoded HD file has been broughtinto Encore, it can easily be downconverted to SD for author your Blu-ray Disc, you also get to apply all the robust features that Encore provides to your BD production.
Test Drive: Panasonic SW-5582 Blu-ray Disc Recorder Adobe Encore CS3 currently supports Blu-ray burners from Samsung, Pioneer, Sony, and Panasonic. I tested the software with the $600 Panasonic SW-5582 Blu-ray Disc Recorder (left), which has worked flawlessly from the start. All of the internal Blu-ray Disc recorders connect to your PC in the same way as your current DVD burner. Installing the drive is a straightforward process: Simply disconnect and remove your current DVD drive and install the Blu-rayburner in its place. Since they use the same cables, it isjust a matter of re-connecting the appropriate cables.
The Panasonic drive is also backwards-compatible with allDVD/CD formats. It can burn CD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, andDVD-R/RW, and dual-layer DVD discs in both formats aswell as DVD-RAM discs. This drive does it all. Unfortunately, burn speeds for Blu-ray Discs are limited to 1X and 2X. A 25GB disc will take up to an hour and 45 minutes to burn, but we can expect these times to improve (just like DVD burn speeds) as drives become faster in the future.
Step 1: Encode Your Premiere Pro Project From this point, I will walk you step by step through the creationof a Blu-ray Disc using Adobe Premiere CS3, Encore CS3, blank media prices should come down in a few months, discs are expensive enough right now ($18–$25), so you don't want to dispose of too many rough drafts.
To begin, you will need to install the drive in your system. Once the drive is installed, and you have restarted your PC, make sure that Windows recognizes the new hardware and installs the correct driver. You can easily check this by selecting Properties. Click the Hardware tab and view thedevices that are listed. You should see the Blu-ray burner listed by the manufacturer's product name. On my system, it is listed as Matsushita BD-MLT SW-558. Now that we have verified that the drive is installed correctly and is working, go ahead and run Adobe Premiere Pro. Openup one of your HD or HDV projects with a finished timeline that you are ready to burn to Blu-ray. Insert chapter markers using the chapter marker button. These markers will automatically bebrought into Encore when you encode the video.
Once you are ready to export your project to Blu-ray, go ahead and select Export to Encore. This will bring up a dialog box with several options. Name your disc something appropriate. Under Type, select Blu-ray Disc, single-layer MPEG-2 (incidentally, Encore supports both MPEG-2 and H.264/AVC, but we'll use MPEG-2 for this project).
Next, choose whether you want to Author with Menus or do a Direct Burn without Menus (left). Most of us will want to author discs with menus as we do with DVD. Verify that you have the correct encoding setting selected. Once you have that done, click OK to start the encoding. You will be asked what to name the encoded file and where to save it. Encoding times will vary based on the length of your video and the encoding settings you have chosen.
Step 2: Author Your Disc After the encoding is finished, Adobe Encore will automatically open and import your video into a timeline (left). From here, authoring is nearly the same as creating a standard DVD. If you are doing a direct burn, all you will need to do is verify your settings and go to the Build DVD menu.
For a fully authored Blu-ray Disc, Encore provides a whole library of menus for you to choose from that are already in HD format. The great thing about these menus is that they can easily be brought into Photoshop and changed your liking with the click of a button. You can use frame grabs from your HD video and replace the background, keeping the titling and buttons intact. Once you have created your menus and added buttons, you will need to link the buttons to the individual chapters.
Step 3: Build Your Disc Make sure to check your project for errors before burning your disc using the Check Project wizard. Go ahead and select Build > Disc to bring up the Build dialog box (left). From here you want to choose Blu-ray under Format and select Blu-ray Disc in the Output drop-down box.
Step 4: Burn Your Disc Your destination should automatically display the Blu-ray burner. If not, select it from the Recorder drop-down menu. With the blank disc inserted, you should see how manygigabytes are used up by your project. Once you press Build, Encore will begin creating the files necessary for yourBlu-ray Disc and write them to the disc (left).
Step 5: Test Your Disc Once the burn is complete, you'll want to test the disc. I recommend getting CyberLink PowerDVD Ultra for testing your Blu-ray Disc on your PC (left). This software costs $99 and plays all of the latest formats, including Blu-ray and HD DVD. If you verify that the disc plays without any problems, you can test the disc on a PlayStation 3 or standalone player.
Of course, if you haven't invested in a Blu-ray player yet, a trip down to Best Buy is in order to try out your disc on the display models. This is great for testing compatibility among various players being sold. Compatibility is far from universal at this point, and is changing with every new release and firmware update.
Bonus Features Now that you have created the Blu-ray Disc, you can easily takethe same project and burn the video to DVD. Encore will automatically downconvert the Blu-ray format to standard DVD. This is great if your clients want to give copies of their video to parents, relatives, or customers (depending on the type of project you're working on) who don't have a Blu-ray player yet.
Another great feature is the Export to Flash option. This is agreat option for putting DVD content on the web. You can host your client's wedding for virtually anyone (or anyone you invite) to see worldwide. Not only do others get to see your work, but they do so in a way that is just like watching a DVD on their home DVD player, which means you can use the web to show off not just the quality of your video and editing but also your DVD authoring prowess.
It's nice to see that there are finally some options out there for creating and delivering weddings and other professional video productions in HD that fit effectively in our familiar NLE workflow. Adobe has created an integrated solution that makes the process easy and streamlined. With thecost ofBlu-ray burners such as the Panasonic SW-5582 dropping with each new release, it makes it a very affordable solution for burning and delivering HD events.

This 'N That
I've mentioned in earlier blogs that I have another project which eats up my time (political activism), so it's very hard for me to do much with baseball but I'm trying to keep up.
The big news is that Chris Pettit broke his right foot chasing a fly ball in Thursday night's Travs home opener. According to press reports, he'll be examined here in SoCal to determine if he requires surgery. If they operate, he's out for the season, although the articles suggest he could be back within two months if they don't cut. Pettit was the Angels' 2007 minor league player of the year, so chalk up another one for the mythical Angels Curse.
Injuries to key players usually trigger a domino effect in the organization, and this was no exception. Jordan Renz was promoted from Rancho Cucamonga to Arkansas to replace Pettit. Anthony Norman moved up from Cedar Rapids to Rancho; a year ago, he was in extended spring training after signing as an undrafted free agent out of UCLA. Donato Giovanatto reports to C.R. from extended.
I'll be working today's Quakes game at Lake Elsinore. This is the eighth season since the Angels left L.E. for Rancho, but The Diamond still feels like home. FutureAngels.com's roots are in that ballpark, because that's where the front office staff opened the door for me to help out with photography and web site design. If you're willing to volunteer your time and resources, and your intents are sincere, minor league baseball will gladly bring you into the extended family.
Tommy Mendoza is the scheduled starter. MiLB.com's box score had Tommy listed as pitching in relief Friday night, but it turns out that it was actually Bobby Cassevah. The Storm official scorer wasn't notified of a uniform change.
Buried in an article by long-time beat writer Jeff Johnson on today's Cedar Rapids Gazette web site is this statement: "Catcher Hank Conger has a partial tear in his right labrum and is rehabbing the injury. There's talk he could report to Cedar Rapids once he is fit to play." I really doubt the Angels would send him back to C.R. He was scheduled for Rancho and that would seem to be the natural fit as the Angels' team doctors would be nearby to monitor his recovery.
Coming up … I'll be in Salt Lake City April 11-14 for their opening homestand against Portland, a Padres affiliate. If the rotation holds, I should see Nick Green pitch on April 13 and Nick Adenhart on April 14, which means video on FutureAngels.com shortly thereafter.
While on the subject of travel … If you enjoy the content on FutureAngels.com and the FutureAngels.com Blog, please consider a voluntary subscription or one-time donation. The voluntary subscription is just $5.00 a month. I typically lose about $2,000 a year travelling to the affiliates to shoot photos and video and record interviews for you. That's content you won't find anywhere else on the Internet. No one pays me to do this, so it all comes out of my pocket except for the generous donors who do their part to help defray expenses. So if you want to see more, please do your part and chip in.

Britney Spears and will.i.am are taking their relationship to a whole new level.
The duo have previously collaborated on Spears' most recent album, 2011's Femme Fatale, with the track "Big Fat Bass," which will.i.am wrote and produced as well as guested on. More recently, will.i.am enlisted Spears as a guest vocalist on his track "Scream & Shout."
Following the success of "Scream & Shout," which was remixed by hip-hop heavyweights Hit-Boy, Diddy, Waka Flocka Flame and Lil Wayne, will.i.am told Rolling Stone that he will act as executive producer on Spears' forthcoming album.
"After I did a song on Femme Fatale – 'Big Fat Bass' – and then we did 'Scream & Shout,' she really liked the way we worked because of my approach," will.i.am said. "So they asked me to be involved in, not producing and writing every song, but to be an executive producer on the songs."

text: I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. I have sold a couple things on the internet, I am in no way shape or form a professional seller of stuff on the internet. I've sold baseball tickets a few times, a few tennis racquets, some furniture and a bike. My question is, people ask for pictures of an item that is perfectly described in an ad, for an example I'll be selling a racquet, describe the string, grip size, and condition (say 9/10). The pictures are sent, which basically show the racquet in its current form but with no dings as described, just the same way you could look at a picture on TW, then the buyer is never heard from again. Its happened to me with baseball tickets, and a fairly new bike. Furniture i can understand, you don't like the look, don't buy it, but a racquet? Its like the "catfish" thing I keep hearing about, except people act as pretend buyers.

As today (June 1) marks the official start of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, the staff at TheHorse.com took a look through our archives to find some important horse care articles, downloads, and videos that can help you prepare yourself, your horse, and your farm for the storm season.

Hurricane Preparation Tips for Horse Owners
With the hurricane season upon us, it is important that horse owners ready themselves in advance for evacuation and other recommended tasks related to hurricane preparedness. Here are some tips for horse owners living in hurricane-prone areas
Equine Hurricane Evacuation
Head for the hills! When hurricane winds blow along the Gulf and Eastern shores of the United States, horse owners must decide whether to "shelter in place" or load horses, gear, and pretty much everything but the kitchen sink and head inland, away from the greatest storm danger.
Hurricane and Emergency Preparedness for Horse Owners
The time to prepare for a hurricane is well before you need to move out of its path. When a hurricane threatens your area, the first priority is to save human lives. With proper preparation and planning we can also save our horses' lives.
Navigating Natural Disasters with Horses
No one wants to envision what might happen to their horses if suddenly faced with a flood, hurricane, tornado, wildfire, earthquake, or other disaster, but in certain parts of the country these devastating events can be a part of life, and horse owners must be ready for them.
Vets Watch for Hurricane-Related Illnesses
With water pooling in places that it normally doesn't and debris landing in pastures and barns, conditions left in hurricanes' wakes can cause an increase in diseases such as tetanus, equine encephalitis, botulism, and Potomac horse fever.
Tips on Caring for Livestock After Hurricanes
Storm surges and rainfall accumulation place livestock in danger of drowning during hurricanes, and flying debris or electric shock from downed power lines can cause serious injury. But the horse health risks don't end when the storm passes.
Preparing a Veterinary Practice for a Hurricane
Careful planning can help a veterinary practice, its patients, and the area's equestrian community ride through and recover from a hurricane. Dana N. Zimmel, DVM, Dipl. ACVIM, Dipl. ABVP, clinical assistant professor in the University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine, described steps for veterinarians in hurricane-prone areas to take long before a storm hits.

Not All Fun and Games
Fall is an ideal time for American sports fans, as professional baseball, basketball, football, and hockey seasons overlap. It's no secret that Americans love sports, and artists are no exception. American Stories features a number of iconic paintings that depict sports and games, including Thomas Eakins's The Champion Single Sculls (Max Schmitt in a Single Scull) and Winslow Homer's view of encamped Union soldiers playing a game of quoits, or horseshoes (Pitching Quoits).

Millennials visit restaurants more than other generations so understanding what resonates with them can be the first step to building a foodservice operation that becomes a destination for this age group.
Members of the Millennial generation, people between the ages of 19 and 34 years old, have a distinct perspective on dining occasions, placing more value on attributes like social responsibility, sustainability, local, organic, grass-fed, and hormone-free offerings, according to Technomic, a Chicago-based foodservice market research firm. Millennials foster emotional connections to brands and their loyalty stems beyond experience.
"Success with today's Millennial consumer will depend on making an emotional connection and setting expectations," said Darren Tristano, Technomic EVP. But establishing an emotional connection can pay dividends. That's because Millennials visit restaurants more frequently than any other generation, Tristano added.
Social Responsibility — Acting in a way that is good for the environment, treating employees well.
Food Quality — For Millennials, food quality goes beyond taste and visual appeal, also incorporating sourcing elements such as grass-fed and free-range into their quality perception.
Supports Local Community Activities — Makes charitable contributions, supports community organizations.

The rain couldn't keep Santa away as Santa's Siren Express visited five areas of Stanton on Sunday, December 16th.
Santa Claus arrived in a bright red fire truck, courtesy of the Orange County Fire Authority throughout the city. The truck was followed by a caravan of Santa's helpers, courtesy of the Kiwanis Club of Greater Stanton and the Youth Assistance Foundation of Stanton.
This is the 15th year for Santa's Siren Express. More than 1,000 children from infants to 12 years of age got the chance to meet and talk to Santa then received a toy and a candy cane.
The donated toys came from Mattel, the Orange County Toy Collaborative (consisting of Toys for Tots, Spark of Love, Operation Santa Clause and St. Vincent de Paul), the Orange County Woodworkers Association and donations from businesses, organizations and individuals.
The children received a wide array of presents ranging from dolls to books to cars.
The event was sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Greater Stanton and the Youth Assistance Foundation of Stanton with the cooperation of the City of Stanton, Orange County Fire Authority, Lions Club, Boys and Girls Club of Stanton, Stanton Community Foundation, CR & R, and the Youth Action Alliance.

Shneorson's Laguna Avenue yard last summer had a wheat maze for his four children and a forest of large sunflowers shaped into a sunflower house, he said. Through a hole in the fence, Suzanne Keehn's granddaughters run and play with Shneorson's kids. The children have their own small garden plot at Keehn's home on Orme Street, and kids from both families play and care for Keehn's chickens.
These two gardeners are part of a growing network of neighbors who are, in their own way, bringing back the farmland that once covered this neighborhood. Fences may parcel off properties, but with the aerial Google view, parts of the neighborhood are, in a sense, becoming one territory, Shneorson said. And the gardeners, through their shared produce, fertilizer, compost and knowledge, are building a strong sense of community across the fence lines.
"If you look at Google Slides, you can look back over the years and see what this place was like. There was a big orchard there. Suddenly, the fences are there," he said.
People buy a house, and it becomes their private universe, he said. "But what if you could coordinate your plantings with other people? Save seeds and share seeds? Coordinate planting for pollination and decide who will do zucchini? If I have a few feet of zucchini and you have a few feet of zucchini, you are scaling it to a bigger scale," he said.
Shneorson is an avid gardener with six years of experience; Keehn has been gardening in some fashion for 40 years. Other neighbors around them do the same.
"It's very neighborly. It creates bartering. We can coordinate planting and help to maintain each other's gardens, and when you have problems, you can work to solve them," he said.
Last summer when white cabbage moths began to proliferate, neighbors discovered they all had the same experience. Some people had used yellow-jacket traps, and residents theorized that could have eliminated the pesky but beneficial predators, he said.
Shneorson sees the patchwork of mini-farms as places that together will help nature. Coordinated planting times can create fields of blossoms to provide nectar for pollinating insects, for example.
"Nature doesn't care about fences. Bees and birds, they don't pay any attention to them," he said.
Properties on Orme, Laguna Way and Amaranta Avenue have big lots, Keehn said. About four or five years ago, she had the idea that if they all got together, she and her neighbors could grow their own food. She started with her neighbor across the street, Ann Burrell, a master gardener.
"We got really connected and we had more fun. Ann supplies the beans. It's wonderful that this is happening. We split expenses, we divide eggs. It's kind of like a little farm: 'Come on over and get this or bring that,'" she said.
Now it's happening organically with other neighbors. "We're all friends. It's just really neat. I just love not having to buy vegetables," she said.
Burrell grows tables of pepper and tomato starts, which she shares with neighbors. She recently got a neighbor's grandson interested in worm composting, she said.
Three of her neighbors are now gardening. "People keep asking for advice. It's a really nice community network," she said.
And there's always more produce than she can handle.
"There's something very special about learning how to grow things. People say, 'What do you do with all of this lettuce?'" I say, 'If you walk on this property, you leave with it.'"
The connections are spreading across the neighborhood. When Shneorson wanted to learn about growing wheat, he was introduced to Maryanne Welton on Kendall Avenue. When she and husband Kirk's sons grew up, they ripped out the backyard lawn and planted wildflowers and wheat, she said.
She and her friends did a one-block feast, where locavores try to eat from within a small area of their community. Welton and friends had a harvest feast that even included butter and ice cream from a cow someone kept in Los Altos Hills, she said. About five or six families still gather three or four times a year for a potluck where all of the food comes from their gardens, she said.
Welton keeps bees and chickens and grows all kinds of vegetables. Earlier this week, her potato plants stood nearly 3 feet, and the red winter wheat was more than waist high. The Weltons get 15 pounds of flour from a 10-by-10-foot plot. "It's enough for 80 loaves of bread," Kirk said.
The plot of wildflowers has flowers that produce nectar at different times, providing the bees with continuous forage, she said.
Insects busily streamed back and forth to the hives.
"Last year, we had 27 gallons of honey," she said. "I love the contrast of living in Silicon Valley and producing our own food."
When the yard was merely a green lawn, Kirk returned from work and just went inside, he said. But the garden has changed the way he lives.
"I found when I came home I was intrigued to go outside and engage with the garden," he said. "It was interesting to see how natural it was to come home and engage with the outside in a fulfilling and soulful way."
Shneorson plans to build a mobile application for urban farmers to coordinate things such as planting and sharing. His urban farm app idea is one of two that were finalists in the City of Palo Alto's Apps Challenge. He is likely to complete just the parking app, but he does plan to develop the farm one in the future, he said.
"Putting tech behind it, you can pull up Google Maps and you can put in the word 'kale' and you can see where there is a field. There are options for sharing and bartering and you can see where master gardeners are," he said.
Burrell thinks that will attract new neighborhood farmers.
"We've lost an entire generation of farmers. Having something like an app would bring them initially into gardening," she said.

This is the three-wheeled dune buggy that coasts over firm sand, pavement, or grass, powered only by the wind. The buggy is propelled by a 13' sq. parafoil composed of 16 ripstop nylon cells which self-inflate as wind passes through them, forming a semi-rigid airfoil that behaves like an airplane's wing. Extending 65' into the sky, the parafoil's lines are high-modulus polyethylene - the strongest thermoplastic made - attached to a handheld control bar, enabling operation in winds as low as 8 mph and as high as 20 mph. Easy to learn in as little as 30 minutes, a simultaneous pull and punch in either direction of the two-handed control bar steers the foil - foot steering on the buggy's front wheel maintains line tension for consistent coasting. A release of the control bar lowers the parafoil for confident stops. The buggy's stainless steel frame includes a 19 3/4" wide padded seat that raises riders 8 1/2" off the ground. The 8" pneumatic rubber tires provide a smooth ride. Includes tools for assembling the frame in 10 minutes. Ages 16 and up. Buggy 50" L x 40" W x 20" H. (buggy 31 1/2 lbs.; 4 3/4 lbs. parasail)

Maybin will be Padres' center fielder
San Diego acquired youngster from Marlins last week
The Padres plan to put Cameron Maybin's speed to use.
The athletic 23-year-old center fielder they acquired from Florida late last week in exchange for pitchers Ryan Webb and Edward Mujica will be counted upon to chase balls gap to gap in cavernous PETCO Park.
"That was a huge part of the appeal," general manager Jed Hoyer told MLB.com. "He does fit the ballpark so well.
"We want him to come in here and feel secure he's going to play center field for us. I'm confident of where he's going to play in the field. He has the skill set, he has power and can steal bases. His career path was unusual. He was up in the big leagues at 20, part of a major trade. I think he's a guy who didn't have a normal path. We think letting him play every day here will help him realize his potential."
The Marlins gain relief depth. Mujica had a 0.93 WHIP and held opponents to a .226 average and struck out more than a hitter per inning.
"The bullpen was a priority, and we went right at it," Marlins president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "In this deal we identified a club that had young, relief-pitching depth. We saw the Padres as a team that might be in need of a center fielder. This thing cooked up rather quickly, and it seemed to make sense. "
Illness makes winter ball short for Manzella: Tommy Manzella's recipe for success in winter ball in the Dominican Republic didn't include illness.
Food made the Astros shortstop ill, and then he contracted a stomach virus that weakened his immune system. He lost 13 pounds in two weeks before returning home after nine games.
"I was trying to figure out what's the best way to eat food and still be strong enough to play a game," Manzella told MLB.com. "If I hadn't gotten that virus, I would have been fine. Both of those together weren't good for me."
Manzella, now home in Louisiana, has regained most of the weight he lost and plans to continue his work toward becoming a regular at shortstop for Houston.
"That's my goal," he said. "I want to break camp with the team and come to camp ready to win a job, whether it's the starting shortstop job or any way I can help the team. This offseason is all about putting my body mentally and physically in the best position to do so."
Holliday's fourth Silver Slugger a special one: For the fourth time in his career, Matt Holliday has won a Silver Slugger Award.
"With the way I started out, trying to justify the contract and trying to try a little too hard, getting off to a slow start, to be able to come back and win an award like this, I think there is some specialness to it," Holliday told MLB.com. "And to have a chance to win one in St. Louis, I think there is a little bit of a special feeling to it."
Holliday had 28 home runs, 103 RBIs and 45 doubles.
Pujols secures sixth Silver Slugger: Albert Pujols, who led the National League with 42 home runs and 118 RBIs, won his sixth Silver Slugger Award last week. It was also the sixth time in his career that he's hit 40 or more home runs.
"I'm just blessed, man," Pujols told MLB.com. "I'm blessed to be able to do that and use the God-given talent and be able to stay healthy for a few seasons to be able to do that."
Hunter lobbying to bring Crawford west: Torii Hunter has been trying to convince Carl Crawford to join the Angels since the All-Star Game in Anaheim last July.
"We've got the weather, the sun shining, and 40,000 fans every night, win or lose," Hunter told the Los Angeles Times. "When you get off turf, this is where you want to be.
"He's been saying great things about Anaheim. He needs to go through the process and take his visits. That's what I encouraged him to do. If he comes out here and takes a visit, we're going to win him over."
Nix playing at third in winter ball: Jayson Nix will be playing in Puerto Rico this winter, with his focus on playing third base. While doing so, he says he knows he needs to play it smartly.
"The only thought for me is you have to be smart with your body," Nix told MLB.com. "It's a long season, and we've been going at it since February. It takes a toll. You have to be smart and give your body enough rest. I wanted to make sure I could do it in a way where I know I can get the rest."
Victorino didn't expect Gold Glove: Coming off a disappointing season, Shane Victorino was pleasantly surprised to win his third straight Gold Glove Award last week.
"It's great," Victorino told MLB.com. "Did I expect it? No. Was I shocked a little bit? Yeah. Sometimes you don't get the recognition you would get in previous years. I'm not saying I had an awful year, but sometimes the Gold Glove is a little bit around what you do offensively as well. It's definitely an honor. It's always great, but it's about the team, and we didn't do what we wanted to do this year."
Cabrera adds to Silver Slugger collection: Miguel Cabrera has won his first Silver Slugger Award while playing in the American League. It's also the third position at which he has won a Silver Slugger. He also won the award with Florida as an outfielder in 2005 and third baseman in 2006.
"I think he probably gets more respect from an offensive standpoint than any hitter in the league," Tigers manager Jim Leyland told MLB.com. "I think he's been the best player in the league this year."
Castro impresses Soriano with his youth: Starlin Castro, only 20 years old, definitely got the attention of veteran Alfonso Soriano this season -- for many reasons.
"He brings a lot of energy to the team because he's very young," Soriano told MLB.com. "He plays great defense, and he's a great hitter, too. He doesn't know what he brings to this team because he's so young, and he just wants to play baseball.
"He's 20 years old, but he doesn't act like he's 20 years old. He's a grown man."
Youkilis prepared to play third base if needed: The Red Sox say they will try to re-sign Adrian Beltre but are prepared to shift Kevin Youkilis from first base to third base.
"It's something we've had dialogue with him about over the years, including recently, and he sees himself as a third baseman even though he's played more first base than third base in his Major League career," general manager Theo Epstein told the Boston Herald. "He's maintained a lot of the skills that are required to play the position.
"He's got really good instincts over there, more than anything. He's played that position more by instinct than by pure athleticism, and he still maintains that, the ability to read hops and make plays. We'd be comfortable if we had to move Youk over to third. He would do a fine job defensively, and his offense would certainly be outstanding for that position."
Chipper Jones gets positive news on knee: The Braves were pleased with the results of Chipper Jones' knee exam.
"Chipper had his knee checked out last week, and that went very well," general manager Frank Wren told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "Everything was really going along well. So far, there's no reason to believe he can't come back and play for us."
Richardson brings upside to Marlins: The Marlins traded Andrew Miller to the Red Sox for Dustin Richardson. In 2010, Richardson made 26 appearances and had a 4.15 ERA with 14 walks and 12 strikeouts in 13 innings for the Red Sox.
"We had an opportunity to pick up a young left-handed reliever who we think has a really good arm, and we want to give him a shot," Marlins president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "It's about throwing strikes. The stuff is really good with Richardson.
"He had very limited opportunity in the big leagues. He has good Minor League numbers, and the stuff is good. He has good size and we have control obviously with his service time and with options, so we thought it made sense. We think there's upside with this kid."

Maybe the problem with O.J. Mayo is that he just did not get enough love in Memphis. Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins is no softie, and Hollins implored Mayo to adjust his game and take better shots, before ultimately moving him to the bench in favor of Tony Allen. The front office put Mayo through an annual trade wringer, bouncing his name all around the league, agreeing to a trade with the Indiana Pacers twice in a 10-month span, only to have both deals fall apart late. And, last January, the Grizzlies made no effort to come to an agreement with Mayo on a contract extension. Over time, this sort of treatment will erode one's confidence.
If you're the Mavericks, that's the hope. In fact, most anything Dallas has to look forward to this season depends on that explanation for Mayo's disappointing NBA career.
As a refresher: Mayo came out of USC having been a much-hyped prospect since he was in middle school, and the Grizzlies acquired him in a draft-day deal that saw them ship Kevin Love to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Mayo proved himself as a scorer in his first two years in the league (with averages of 18.5 and 17.5 points), but he didn't do much else, and his shot selection was questionable.
The Grizzlies played better with him coming off the bench, his primary role the last two years, but Mayo never seemed to adjust to the spot, and his shooting percentage plummeted to 40.7 in his third season and 40.8 in his fourth. The disappointment culminated in a brutal seven-game playoff series against the Clippers last spring, during which Mayo averaged 8.9 points and 27.4 percent shooting.
Again, that could well have been the result of a talented player not having the right role or the right guidance early in his career. The Mavs, Mayo's new team, are hoping so. But there is another possible explanation, and it's a simple one: Mayo might not be that good.
"Jack of all trades, master of none," is how one NBA scout put it. "He is not a great shooter. He is not a great slasher. He doesn't get to the free-throw line. He doesn't play great defense. He is a solid player, but he is not an All-Star or anything. It is hard to see after four years how he is going to all of the sudden erase his limitations."
In Dallas, the feeling is that a change of scenery and a starting spot could mean a reset for Mayo's career, and that the talent that allowed him to establish his reputation as an NBA star (you know, before he ever actually played an NBA game) is there if the Mavs can dig it out.
Because Mayo was largely ignored on the free-agent market this summer, Dallas was able to land him without making much of a commitment, giving him a little more than $8 million over two years, with a player option next season. It is a low-risk, high-reward proposition for the Mavs.
"O.J., we feel, is a starting 2-guard in this league, and we feel his best basketball is ahead of him," coach Rick Carlisle said this week at an event for Mavericks season-ticket holders. "It was great talking to him this summer because it was clear he wanted to be in Dallas. He had had his eye on hopefully being in Dallas for a long time. I was not aware of that. Any time you have that conversation with a player, that's exciting. The way the market presented itself, we were able to get him here, and that's a great opportunity for us."
Moreover, it is a great opportunity for Mayo, a big part of the reason he has already been in Dallas for about a month, working to be ready this year. He is in his fifth year, and will turn 25 in November.
There is still time for him to re-establish his place in the league, for him to address his shortcomings and show he has the talent to match (or at least come close to matching) the hype that has been his backdrop since adolescence. Dallas underwent an overhaul this offseason, bringing in Elton Brand, Chris Kaman, Dahntay Jones and Darren Collison, but the Mavs' chances next year depend most heavily on Mayo's ability to work well as a secondary offensive option with Dirk Nowitzki. The Mavericks are not a championship team, but they have the potential to land among the top seeds in the West.
If Mayo succeeds, he will likely exercise his option next summer and secure a long-term contract in Dallas. Owner Mark Cuban is anticipating that outcome. "I think he can be a star," Cuban said.
"And I think O.J. knows this is his make-or-break, 'Who-am-I-really-going-to-be-in-this-league?' year. Coach is going to give him that opportunity."
What he does with the opportunity will tell us, for once and for all, just how good—or not—Mayo can be.
