"It was nice of Fred to let us borrow the van for the weekend." Velma nodded as she sat beside Daphne in the front of the Mystery Machine, reading the map as the brightly coloured van made its way out of their home town.
"Well, he was so intent on staying in town for the Trap Convention, and Shaggy had the track meet, so neither of them really wanted to come with us," Velma eventually said as she closed the book. "It makes a nice change for us to have a girl's weekend."
Daphne nodded, her green scarf moving slightly in the breeze that came in through the open window. "Oh I so agree - I love Fred dearly, but we do need some time away from them and the Mystery Incorporated team."
Velma nodded as she crossed her arms in front of her. "So this cousin of yours - how well do you know her?"
"Oh, we used to visit them all the time when we were all younger," Daphne said as they turned onto the freeway. "Penny and I used
Darkness in the Detective's ShadowIn the town of Spartan was a light brown haired girl named Ellen, ever since the young age of sixteen backed by years of snoop novel reading she had been melding in the affairs of many of her town's crooks and criminals bringing them all to justice one by one. None of this would be possible without her trusty friend and sidekick Addie who arrived in town after Ellen had made a few of her first busts.Darkness in the Detective's Shadow2 years ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This
Ellen didn't know how, but Addie had a lot of resources available and always got much needed info when needed on any case she was working on. Thanks to her Ellen was able to clean up her town making it a better place to live and now many years later and after many cases that usually ended Ellen with being in a hopeless binding situation and getting free and busting the bad guy, Ellen was now twenty-two in age with Addie being age twenty-three and they were facing their hardest challenge yet.

As Penny escorted Daphne and Velma into the dining room, they found a tall, well built African American woman sitting there already, who stood up as they came in.
"Hi Daphne," she said as she came over and embraced the new arrival, "It's been a long time!"
"DEE!" Daphne exclaimed as she returned the hug, "I didn't know you would be here!"
"Penelope employed me to help with the security arrangements," she said as she finally let go of Daphne. She was dressed in a red roll neck sweater, blue denim skirt and knee high red leather boots, with her hair tightly permed.
"So you know Dee Dee - I should have realised you would have met before."
"It was a mystery convention," Velma said as she sat down at the table, "Dee and the others were there as well. We'll tell you the tale later. What's for dinner anyway?"
"Are you sure something of Shaggy hasn't rubbed off on you," Daphne said as she sat at the table as well. Dee Dee laughed bef

"The Hooded Claw? But he must be dead - it was your great-grandmother who had all the trouble with him. Why would you think that?"
Velma looked across the table at Dee Dee and Daphne, while Peter held Penny's shoulders. "It just seems so funny hearing that voice," was all she would say eventually.
"Look, Penny, it's just somebody's stupid idea of a joke. Don't let it get to you - besides, it's time for all of you to get into costume. Go on - I'll see you outside."
Daphne and Velma stood up and walked out of the room, as Dee Dee looked at a small parcel that had arrived for her.
"Wonder what the girls are sending me now," she said as she looked at the return address label.

Nor, for that matter, was she in the boathouse as she heard the soft lap of water against wood.

"Hgdddd, ntgggn," she heard herself say, which was a surprise as she had wanted to say "Oh god, not again." She moved her lips, feeling the cotton that they seemed to be resting on again as well as pressing down on her tongue, and came to the conclusion that she had been gagged with cloth. From the feel of her fingers, she figured that her arms were been held together with some sort of rough hemp.
"Open your eyes, Velma - might as well see what's going on," she thought to herself, and with some effort she forced her eyelids apart, to be greeted by the sight of a wide eyed Daphne staring back at her from the other side of the bo

Velma and Daphne have arrived at the stately home of Daphne's friend Penny Pitstop, but perils are approaching from all sides.
A villainous fiend, taking the name of The Hooded Claw, has traced a jewel known as The Star of Alamein. The trail has led to Pitstop Manor - a place where he feel she can avenge the ignominy poured on his ancestor.
Penny had hired Dee Dee, of the San Francisco based Teen Angels, to help with security, but over the last 24 hours the girls have been kidnapped, tied up, nearly killed and generally menaced by not only The Hooded Claw, but another villain who is after The Star - or may be after Daphne. Dee Dee has been joined by the hero known as Captain Caveman, and a small man by the name of Clyde, who have their suspicions about Penny's brother Peter.
When we last saw them, Velma and Daphne had been rescued from a watery grave by Taffy and Brenda, Dee Dee's colleagues, while Penny and Nida, the real owner of Th

Veronica looked at her friend, as the man pulled her hands behind her back and she heard the ripping sound of silver tape coming off a roll, and let out a sigh. Betty was right, in a way - she had persuaded her to come into this, and now they were both in trouble.
Them and their friend Ethel...
The day had started just like any other at Burnfield College - the students walking in, chatting to each other and looking forward to their classes. For Veronica Berry, the first class of the day was Drama - a subject she tried her best at, but even she had to admit she was better at the technical and writing side then the acting.
That was the forte of her two best friends - Betty Drake and Ethel Corman. They had been friends for years,

The grey van did not look out of place as it pulled up beside the Victorian terraced house. From inside, the two men looked at the front door.
"Which flat is it?"
"Ground floor - I suggest we go round the back and park, and then come in from the rear entrance."
The driver nodded as he set off again, turning down the service road as a tall, dark haired girl came out of the front of the building and walked down the street.
"What time's your first lecture?"
Katie looked up from the breakfast bar and replied "Ten o'clock - I'm going to head off in a few minutes. You?"
Alex smiled as she said "Not until twelve, so I'm going to hit the shops first." She was a short, slightly rotund girl, with short cut black hair, and was wearing a white t-shirt over a dark blue long sleeved top, a pair of blue denim shorts, dark leggings and knee length tan leather boots.

As he pulled into the yard at the back of the university building, Jack looked round before climbing out of the driver's seat and walking round to the side door. As he opened it, Katie and Alex looked round, their heads now covered in brown burlap bags.
"You going to be able to keep an eye on them," he said to Dave, who was sitting with his arms on his knees watching the two girls wriggle round.
"Yeah, I'll be fine," he said with a big smile, "you go and get the Charlotte chick, and we'll be on our way tout suite." Jack smiled a she picked up a toolbox and closed the van door, walking towards a rear entrance to the building.

"Mssreemm," was all she could say through the knotted brown and white spotted headscarf that had been pulled into her mouth, the ends sitting around her head and tied together at the base of her neck. Kate was wearing a brown and pink tartan style blouse over a white round necked top, the sleeves of the blouse rolled slightly back to show the cuffs of the undergarment - and the white plastic zip tie that had been used to secure her wrists together.
A second tie was around her ankles, compressing the cuffs of her skin tight jeans around the white ankle socks she was wearing, and third strip was around her legs, just above her knees. One more strip held her wrists do

The offices of Mumford and Peabody were in a tree-lined avenue in one of the more wealthy suburbs of the city, meaning that the grey van stood out a little as it stopped on the road.
"Can't you keep that lot quiet in the back," Jack called over his shoulder as he heard a muffled group of yells and wails.
"If you don't shut up," he heard Dave say, "Then..." The calls suddenly stopped, making Jack smile as he looked at the door to the building.
"Right," he said as he picked up a balaclava and his handgun, "Keep your phone on. I'm going to go inside, and if she's not there I'll call you, all right?"

As the crowd clapped with the girls taking their bow, two men huddled together wearing black and grey outfits with black over coats in the back enjoyed a drink as one of them scowled at Josie, who was the red head leader of the band.
"Josie huh, she's come far." He said taking a drink.
"Know her?" His partner asked also taking a drink.

Carol turned and looked at her daughter. "What? When did that happen?"
"Earlier today - that was what I was coming round to talk to you about Mum. The jewellery store I work in was robbed this lunchtime. Two men in motorcycle helmets came in, made Bobbi, Dave and me sit on the floor behind the counter, taped our wrists and ankles, and then covered our mouths before they took the contents of the display cabinets."

"If there's a god up there," she thought to herself, "then do something about this - please!"
As she looked down to the spinning metal, she became dimly aware of a rushing sound in the air, and what sounded like a hoarse, deep voice calling "cffffmnnnnn." Looking to the far side of the building, Velma heard the sound getting louder, and then instinctively closed her eyes as the wall disintegrated into a mass of wooden splinters and dust.

"You've still got it, Kirsty," she said to herself with a smile. She was rapidly approaching her fiftieth birthday, but looked younger thanks to her personal trainer and diet. Her long blonde hair was cut in a fringe over her eyes, while the purple sleeveless dress she was wearing hugged her figure. It was accentuated by the wide black leather belt she was wearing around her waist, and the hem came to just above her knees.
Walking into the front room, she sat on the chair and started to put on the purple wedge shoes that matched her dress. Once her daughters were there, the plan was to surprise her own mother on this, her seventieth birthday, with a meal out at an exclusive restaurant.

This was supposed to be a hardware store, but it was more of a rope store than anything else despite the few other things they sold like knifes and tape.

Climbing out from the front of the van, Dave stood on the double yellow lines that lined the road by the pavement, and walked towards the wooden and glass door with a sign saying "Open" on the front.

The debate over the ``fiscal cliff'' continues to take a partisan tone, with just days remaining before the automatic tax hikes and spending cuts kick in.
On the Senate floor Thursday, Democratic leader Harry Reid charged that House Speaker John Boehner ``seems to care more about keeping his speakership than about keeping the nation on sound financial footing.''
In response, a Boehner spokesman said Reid ``should talk less and legislate more if he wants to avert the fiscal cliff.''
Not long after Reid spoke, President Barack Obama's plane landed in suburban Maryland after a flight from Hawaii. The White House says the president made phone calls yesterday to Reid and Boehner, and to the House and Senate minority leaders, to get an update on efforts to avoid the cliff.
Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell's office says Obama's phone call was the first from a Democrat on the fiscal cliff since Thanksgiving.
The questions hanging over Washington today center on whether Reid will offer a specific piece of legislation, whether McConnell will let it proceed to a vote on the Senate floor -- and, if it were to pass, whether Boehner would then call House members back to Washington to vote on it. Chances of achieving that before the end of the year appear remote.
No deal in sight as deadline for fiscal cliff nears

U.S. Edition
Julian Assange, founder of the WikiLeaks website, speaks to reporters.
WikiLeaks publishes and comments on leaked documents that allege government and corporate misconduct.
The nonprofit site is run by a loose band of tech-savvy volunteers and has quickly become one of the Web's go-to locations.
One of its greatest controversies involves the publication in April of a secret video taken in 2007 of a U.S. helicopter attack in Iraq that killed a dozen civilians, including two unarmed Reuters journalists.
Thousands of alleged Afghan war documents go online
At the time, Maj. Shawn Turner, a U.S. military spokesman, said that "all evidence available supported the conclusion by those forces that they were engaging armed insurgents and not civilians."
Pfc. Bradley Manning, 22, has been charged by the U.S. military with eight violations of the U.S. Criminal Code for transferring classified data, according to a charge sheet released by the military this week.
This month, site founder Julian Assange, who is rarely seen in public, told a TED conference that Wikileaks thoroughly vets materials on the site. Watch his TED talk
Those who defend WikiLeaks say it protects whistle-blowers, journalists and activists who want to communicate sensitive information. Critics have charged it recklessly endangers national security and the livelihoods of people whose identities must be kept secret.
A 2008, a U.S. Army Counterintelligence Center report, which was classified until it was uploaded to WikiLeaks in March, said that information posted to WikiLeaks.org could "aid enemy forces in planning terrorist attacks."
There are "legitimate secrets," Assange, 39, said at TED, including health records. But WikiLeaks deals, "with whistle-blowers that are well motivated," Assange said.
Assange has said that the organization gets material from whistle-blowers in a variety of ways - including postal mail. WikiLeaks rarely knows the identity of the source of the leak. "If we find out at some stage, we destroy that information as soon as possible," he said.
WikiLeaks operates in several countries, including Sweden and Iceland, Assange said, specifically because those nations offer legal protection to the disclosures made on the site.
Assange is considered a mystery and maintains a low profile. He said at TED that he has canceled at least three appearances in the United States, including a June talk at a national investigative journalism conference, because of what he called "unreasonable" statements that were made by U.S. officials. These statements were made in private, he said, and suggested that officials "may not follow the rule of law" in dealing with him.
first words in the preamble "we the people" people trust the government, government...trust the people
As a member of the defense community, I am against leaking of any U.S. classified information. I'm also against misleading video clips (I didn't like the incomplete clip of the USDA's Shirely Sherrod either). I watched the Wikileak clip of the 2007 U.S. air raid in Baghdad in which 8-12 alledged insurgents where killed. Am I missing something? The U.S. military doesn't go around firing on Iraqi civilians for no reason. Strikes of that nature are usually in retailiation for an attack on us. Did Wikileak investigate whether these guy's harmed our guys by planting IEDs? Is Wikileak in bed with the insurgents? For Wikileak to show this video without providing more information is interfering with coalition operations. Julian Assange stated that two of the civilians killed were journalist and not insurgents. My momma always told me to be careful of whom you choose to hang out with.

Great Find
Purchased two (2) pairs of these shoes. One brown and One Blue. They are absolutely great. I read the reviews before I bought them, and had I purchased my usual size 10.5, I would have had to send them back for being to big. You should buy a 1/2 size under what you normally would wear. Totally love them, and highly recommend them to all.
May 6, 2014
Better than the Picture
They look great -- even better than the pictures and can match both jeans and kakhis. The other reviewer is right that they run large... I normally wear a 10.5 and all they had was a 10, but I got them and they fit fine.
March 24, 2014
LOVE these shoes!
These shoes are fantastic. They're comfotable, stylish, and look great!
February 27, 2014
Get a 1/2 size larger!
These shoes look awesome. They felt sturdy they look just as they do in the picture, but I they are almost an entire size too big. I would have bought them in a store but our express doesn't carry shoes. If you love these, get either a half or a full size smaller as these run big.

Excellent boots
I really love these boots, they look amazing and are confty.

BYU football: Ross Apo can't wait for rematch with Texas
PROVO — Perhaps nobody on BYU's roster is looking forward to the upcoming showdown against No. 15 Texas more than wide receiver Ross Apo.
For the junior from Arlington, Texas, Saturday's game (5 p.m. MDT, ESPN2) at LaVell Edwards Stadium is personal.
Apo verbally committed to Texas before changing his mind and de-committing in order to play for the Cougars.
And in 2011, when Apo was a redshirt freshman, BYU traveled to Austin to take on the Longhorns. He led the Cougars with three receptions for 40 yards, including a six-yard touchdown catch that lifted BYU to a 13-0 lead in the second quarter.
However, Texas rallied to defeat the Cougars, 17-16, that night at Texas Memorial Stadium.
Apo can't wait for another shot at the Longhorns.
"I looked forward to it the last time we played them. I wanted to beat them so bad," Apo said Tuesday. "I have the same approach this year. I just want to beat them, whatever it takes, however we can beat them. I just want to beat them."
Like a lot of kids that grow up in the Lone Star State, Apo dreamed of playing for the Longhorns. He knows all about the aura and mystique attached to University of Texas football.
The Longhorns boast four national championships, a historic 100,000-seat stadium, the iconic Longhorn logo, the distinctive burnt orange uniforms, a catchy fight song and the "Hook 'Em Horns" hand signal that's ubiquitous in Austin.
"It's a big school — everybody knows them. A lot of history to their school. The logo — Longhorns. Nobody (who grows up in Texas) really wants to go to Texas A&M or SMU or schools like that," Apo said of why he was attracted to the Texas football program. "Everybody wants to go to Texas. That was the main thing."
It appeared Apo was going to be a part of it all, and he committed to the Longhorns.
However, Apo's friendship with quarterback Jake Heaps "had a big influence on me coming (to BYU)," Apo said, explaining that there were other factors as well.
"I just had a good relationship with all of the coaches here," Apo said. "BYU was the first school that offered me. I came back to (football) camp every year after that. I loved it here."
Finally, Heaps, who played for BYU for two seasons before transferring to Kansas, convinced Apo to call Texas coach Mack Brown — who now is one win away from tying Woody Hayes to move into 10th place on the NCAA all-time coaches victories (237) list — and let him know he wasn't going to play for the Longhorns.
It was the toughest phone call Apo has ever had to make. It took him a long time to get up the nerve to call Brown. He practiced in the mirror over and over again.
"I didn't want to do it. Jake kept telling me to do it," Apo said. "He sent me like 50 texts. 'Did you call him?' I finally called (Brown) I think he was golfing. He just got quiet and said some things I probably shouldn't repeat. That was it. It was short and sweet."
After Apo committed to BYU, Brown joked with Cougar coach Bronco Mendenhall. "You stole one from us," Brown told Mendenhall.
While Brown and Mendenhall are good friends, "most of the time when something like that is said, there's a little sting behind it," Mendenhall has said.

Chiefs in damage control
SCO executive to run operation during probe
A day after the Southern Chiefs Organization showed its leader the door with a paid suspension, it had yet to declare how it planned to track the paper trail that led to the spending scandal in the first place.
By late Tuesday, the five-member executive committee that functions as the board for the lobby group was still behind closed doors, debating steps to salvage the organization's tattered reputation.
The executive is taking over the day-to-day operation, perhaps with the help of a management team of some sort, until an investigation into the scandal is complete. That probe could be wrapped up as early as the weekend, reporters were told Tuesday.
SCO Grand Chief Murray Clearsky began his first day of paid suspension keeping a low profile, not taking calls, despite an earlier promise to give a full public account. He's said to be following a lawyer's advice to stay quiet.
Clearsky is accused of spending $10,000 of the SCO's money in a series of ATM withdrawals in Shakopee and Prior Lake, Minn., where the Mystic Lake Casino and a popular amusement park are located.
The trips were in August and September.
Clearsky's chief of staff, Mike Bear, was also suspended with pay but for different reasons. He faces a sexual-harassment complaint now under investigation by the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
The allegations against both men have yet to be proven, which explains why they're still being paid and not out the door completely, one political analyst said Tuesday.
The SCO represents 33 chiefs in southern Manitoba.
Jacqueline Romanow, an associate professor at the University of Winnipeg's aboriginal governance program, called the penalty against Bear reasonable.
The penalty against Clearsky isn't as cut and dried, she said.
"It would depend on the strength of the evidence they're looking at," she said. "I'm assuming they asked for an initial explanation and it was insufficient."
Clearsky made two appearances before the chiefs Monday night, declaring he intended to give a full account. Before the meeting, the leader told the Free Press he was convinced the chiefs had authorized an ATM debit card to make direct withdrawals on the SCO bank account while in Minnesota on the two trips in August and September.
For most of the seven hours the chiefs debated his fate, the grand chief cooled his heels outside the Victoria Inn.
Clearsky kept company the whole time with an SCO accountant, a lawyer and the chief of staff.
The accountant acknowledged a heavy canvas bag on his shoulder contained the evidence Clearsky intended to present to clear his name. He never got that chance because the chiefs didn't asked to see it. "You hang in there," said one chief, patting the man on the shoulder and offering a friendly handshake when the line of chiefs filed out the door at the end.
It was clear some chiefs were upset with the outcome. Long Plain's Dennis Meeches and Swan Lake's Francine Meeches both walked out of the meeting just before it wrapped up.
Francine Meeches was visibly angry when she strode past the waiting meeting. Asked for her comment, she turned and faced reporters. She felt embarrassed, she said.
"It's a... joke what's going on in there," she said, "the way they're hemming and hawing in there."
Dennis Meeches said he got nowhere with Clearsky during his appearances. "I asked him to resign. He didn't give me an answer though."
Romanow said that is a strong indication the two chiefs are aware their political organization is under a dark cloud.
"Is everybody happy?" she asked. "No. Some chiefs are really upset and they want the grand chief to resign. There are going to be a lot of questions until they give an explanation (in public).
"Chiefs in these situations have a lot of power and you have to make sure you have checks and safeguards through your executive or that your financial officer does."
Romanow said it's unheard of for a chief to be handed an ATM card.
Typically, aboriginal politicians, like other politicians, file expenses or are requisitioned a cheque in advance for business trips.

With more than half of the MLB season in the books, the focus now shifts toward baseball's Midsummer Classic in the form of the MLB All-Star Game.
While the game is an exhibition, it will be competitive since home-field advantage in the World Series will be up for grabs. Fans have been voting for the past several weeks, but the entire American League and National League rosters will be revealed during a special selection show Sunday night.
MLB's best players will converge on the Minnesota Twins' Target Field on July 15, but there will undoubtedly be plenty of controversy regarding who makes the cut and who doesn't.
With that in mind, here is everything you need to know about when and where to watch the All-Star Selection Show along with predictions for the 33-man rosters in both leagues.
When: Sunday, July 6 at 7 p.m. ET

The potential American League roster is exciting to think about. It is stacked with powerful hitters and power arms. Big boppers like Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista and Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout are all virtual locks to make the team.
In addition to that, the American League boasts an impressive stable of pitchers that includes Felix Hernandez of the Seattle Mariners, Masahiro Tanaka of the New York Yankees and many more.
Perhaps the most controversial potential selection is Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter. Although he isn't having a sparkling year, this is his final MLB season, and there are plenty of fans who would love to see him in the game.
According to Andrew Marchand of ESPNNewYork.com, he is in position to win the fan vote:
Jeter has a 600,000 vote lead over Ramirez to start the All-Star Game at short.
— Andrew Marchand (@AndrewMarchand) June 30, 2014
Despite his current standing, the Yankees' captain isn't convinced that his spot on the team is secure quite yet, per MLB.com's Bryan Hoch.
"You know me—I don't think about that before it happens," Jeter said. "I learned that a long time ago. I'll wait to see what happens."
Even if Jeter isn't the best shortstop in the AL currently, many players have made the All-Star Game in this manner before, with Cal Ripken Jr. and the late Tony Gwynn coming to mind. This game is for the fans, so Jeter making it would certainly be fitting.
NL Roster Predictions
Position | Player | Team |
C | Yadier Molina | STL |
1B | Paul Goldschmidt | ARI |
2B | Chase Utley | PHI |
3B | Aramis Ramirez | MIL |
SS | Troy Tulowitzki | COL |
OF | Andrew McCutchen | PIT |
OF | Carlos Gomez | MIL |
OF | Giancarlo Stanton | MIA |
C | Jonathan Lucroy | MIL |

1B | Freddie Freeman | ATL |

2B | Dee Gordon | LAD |
3B | David Wright | NYM |

P | Craig Kimbrel | ATL |
P | Huston Street | SD |
P | Rafael Soriano | WAS |
P | Jonathan Papelbon | PHI |
It can be argued that the National League's potential roster isn't quite as impressive as the AL's from top to bottom, but there is still plenty of talent across all positions. That is especially true in the outfield, where there has been quite a battle in the voting.
With Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Milwaukee Brewers' Carlos Gomez seemingly entrenched, the final spot will come down to eccentric Los Angeles Dodgers star Yasiel Puig and Miami Marlins powerhouse Giancarlo Stanton.
According to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times, Puig still holds the advantage:
As voting nears end, Puig has fallen to 3rd in NL All-Star OF race, 400,000 votes ahead of Stanton for final OF spot (McCutchen, Gomez 1-2).
— Bill Shaikin (@BillShaikin) July 1, 2014
Regardless of which one of them gets voted in, it is almost a sure thing that they will both make the team as they are enjoying spectacular campaigns.
It will also be interesting to see how St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny handles the pitching situation. There are so many starters with great numbers in the NL right now that Matheny will have some extremely difficult decisions to make.
If he pulls the right strings, though, his team may have the arms necessary to counteract the American League's top-notch hitting.
Snub Predictions
Who do you think will win the 2014 MLB All-Star Game
Some players who don't make the initial All-Star Game rosters will still have an opportunity to get voted in by the fans in the last-chance 34th-man vote. With that said, there will inevitably be some great players left out in the cold.
The American League boasts four outstanding designated hitters, but one or two of them will have to stay home. Nelson Cruz, Edwin Encarnacion and Victor Martinez have all been too productive to leave out. That means perennial Boston Red Sox All-Star David Ortiz could be the odd man out.
He does have the advantage of Red Sox manager John Farrell serving as the AL's manager, though. According to Ryan Hannable of Metro Boston, Farrell admitted that Ortiz is in the running for a spot:
When talking about the All-Star team, Farrell said Ortiz, Lester, Uehara, Pedroia and Lackey all deserve consideration.
— Ryan Hannable (@RyanHannable) July 1, 2014
As much as Farrell would like to take his guy, though, he simply can't snub Cruz, Encarnacion or Martinez.
In the NL, catcher is a position of interest. While it is an extremely weak position in the AL, the opposite is true in the Senior Circuit. Yadier Molina and Jonathan Lucroy will likely make the team, but the third spot will come down to Devin Mesoraco and Buster Posey.
Posey is a key player for the San Francisco Giants and perhaps the best all-around backstop in the league, but Mesoraco is tearing the cover off the ball and will be tough to leave out. Whoever doesn't make it will know that they had a good enough resume to be on the team.

Over four hundred days ago, a handful of activists climbed up into the trees on Science Hill as a symbol of resistance to the university's plan to destroy 120 acres of campus forest. For the past 13 months, the tree sit has drawn attention to UCSC's reckless plan to develop upper campus without regard for the welfare of one of Santa Cruz's last wild ecosystems. science-hill_12-13-08.jpg The three clusters of redwoods which have now been clearcut were inhabited since November 7, 2007, when over 500 students, alumni, and community members rallied in opposition to the University's "Long Range Development Plan".
