I put 4 quarts of fermented dills in the fridge today. They aren't bad. DH said they taste like the ones in the pickle barrel at the deli of his childhood. I'm not a big pickle person, but they weren't as salty as I expected, nor as dilly or as garlicy as I expected. Maybe that will develop over time. They also weren't very sour. But I have no idea how sour they should be. This was a short ferment, 5-7 days. I think mine went 5 days. This is the recipe I used. |

Nice! My son enjoys Alton brown. Maybe I should have him make them following Alton's instructions. Hmm... a chemistry project. COOL |

Someone commented under the recipe and I'm assuming experience is involved when he wrote that brine pickles is a hit and miss based on multiple factors. His and others suggestion was to try again if we're disappointed. Sounds reasonable. |

We do a decent amount of salt brine fermenting here. Big crocs and we do the kosher dill style and have never had an issue. Once they are close to the way we like them, we sterilize some jars and then put the pickles on those at about 1/2 brine and 1/2 reverse osmosis water and store them in a small fridge for months on end. |

Hi I have just bought a new laptop and am transferring all my data and programmes. Looks like i tunes is OK, however i just inserted my shuffle into the USB and the driver was not recognised. I envisage the same problem with my printer. I dont believe i had discs for either to load the drivers, is there a web site/other way i can ensure i can use these devices on my new laptop? thanks

i have already successfully installed itunes application on to the laptop. although, when i came to import all the tunes it forced me to convert them for some strange reason. it is taking hours and it looks to me like it is duplicating them..

Education office sets October exams for school heads
-A A +ASunday, June 26, 2011
MANILA – The Department of Education (DepEd) on Sunday said it will hold a National Qualifying Examination for School Heads (NQESH) on October 30 to improve the quality of basic education at the grassroots level.
"The examination shall serve as a mechanism for selecting competent school heads in the public education sector, who will perform their functions upon assumption of duty," Education Secretary Armin Luistro said.
NQESH is open to all aspirants for Principal 1 position or those who have five years experience in the aggregate as Head Teacher, Teacher-In-Charge, Master Teacher and Teachers III.
The exams, according to Luistro, will cover areas such as School and Instructional Leadership, Creating a Learning Climate, Professional Human Resource Development, Parent Involvement in Building Communities, School Management and Daily Operations, Personal Integrity and Interpersonal Sensitivity, English Language Proficiency and Reading Comprehension.
To facilitate the exam's success, the DepEd said it will set up testing centers at the La Union National High School, San Fernando City, La Union (for Region 1); Cagayan National High School, Tuguegarao City (Region 2); Angeles Central Elementary School, San Fernando, Angeles City, Pampanga (Region 3); Tabaco National High School, Tabaco City, Albay (Region 5); Iloilo National High School and Negros Occidental National High School in Iloilo and Bacolod cities (Region 6); Abellana National High School, Cebu City (Region 7); Leyte National High School, Tacloban City (Region 8); Zamboanga City National High School, Zamboanga City (Region 9); Cagayan De Oro City High School (Region 10); Davao City National High School (Region 11); Koronadal High School, Koronadal, South Cotabato (Region 12); San Francisco High School, NCR (Misamis St. Bago Bantay, Quezon City) and Baguio City National High School for the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR).
Luistro said they are still looking for testing sites in Region 4-A (Calabarzon) and Region IV-B (Mimaropa).
Earlier this year, the DepEd admitted that less than 10 percent of aspirants for the school principal position managed to hurdle the qualifying examinations in 2010.
Luistro said only 924 examinees of the 9,778 who took the 2010 NQEP administered last January passed the examination.
"Given the cut-off score of 90 percentile, a total of 924 test takers or examinees hurdled the said examination, representing approximately 9.5 percent of the total aspirants," he said.
Despite the low number of passers, the education department said they were able to bring down the number of schools without principals over the past four years from 26,282 in 2006 to 22,803 in 2007. In 2008, the department said it was able to fill up 4,668 principal position across the country and an additional 1,909 posts in 2009.
Before 2006, about 58 percent of the total number of public schools in the country are classified as "headless", as they were under the care of Teachers-In-Charge (TIC) rather than principals, hampering the full implementation of the DepEd's School Based Management program and the Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda (Besra), which are designed to effect reform measures at the grassroots level.
Education experts said a key to a successful SBM and Besra implementation is the presence of an official school head (principal) that would guide the school toward continuous improvement. (AH/Sunnex)

We are constructing a small addition that will include a second floor laundry room off the existing master bathroom. The interior dimensions will be approximately 5'W X 10'L. The current plan is to run sink, FL washer, dryer and folding counter, all along the 10' exterior wall. The new machines are LG and are built to reduce vibration. A floor drain will factor into the plan as well.
We have read several theories on floor construction for second floor laundry rooms, ranging from pouring concrete pads (with and without rebar), reinforcing floor joists, adding anti-vibration pads, and last but not least, using foam pool noodles wedged between the machines. Because this is a new build, we'd like to do it once, and to it right. Is there a definitive 'best way' to do this? |

Your best bet would be to retain a structural engineer to review and design what you wish to accomplish. Second guessing might lead to problems. For example, the suggested concrete and reinforced concrete would create a mass that, if not anchored and designed properly, could lead to that mass swaying improperly under load, causing structural damage. (Seismic engineers know this all too well.) Construction means, methods, and materials can all have complicated interactions depending are how, where and when they are used. Plus, you have building code regulations to address. Answer: There is no easy or definitive answer owed to the presently known and unknown values you wish to design around. |
- Posted by galleyette (My Page) on Sun, Jun 26, 11 at 13:27
We used an engineer when the addition was planned to correctly assess the foundation requirements with the 2nd floor laundry in mind- I know we exceed minimum code requirements by a long shot. I guess the actual construction of the second floor laundry room, he left up to the contractor. I have the impression that many people retro-fit existing second floor areas, particularly closets, to make room for laundry rooms. What do they do in the absence of an engineering report? |
- Posted by fahrenheit_451 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 26, 11 at 14:41
Surprised your engineer didn't do the 2nd floor too. However, you can use engineered-wood joist, or add sister joists (effectively doubling-up a floor joist). Since you are using a FL washer your movement will be side-to-side and you should take into consideration a worst case scenario (washer goes into spin and is completely unbalanced due to a washer fault). Try to design the flooring to drain without having have a curb, if possible. This is just for reference as it utilizes a pan: Avoiding a Laundry Room Flood in an Upstairs Laundry Room |
Have you considered steel beams under the laundry room floor, and have them run under the machines and parallel to the wall to which the machines will back up. If the steel beams are too pricey, perhaps a good load-bearing wall under the area where the machines will sit? You really want to avoid the "trampoline effect." Extra layer of 6/8" plywood (not particleboard) sub-floor perpendicular to grain of first layer might help, too. I suggest avoiding particleboard in case of a flood (not to mention the formaldehyde outgassing potential) .... p'board will swell and possibly crumble, too, if gotten wet from a washing machine hose blowing, or any sort of disaster. A really good grade of plywood, like ADX, should not. It's expensive, but you're looking at a small area. Drain in floor is a good idea, too. |

Fatal shooting of teenager sparks protests in Ferguson, Missouri
Michael Brown and a companion, both black, are confronted by an officer as they walk back to Brown's home from a convenience store. Brown and the officer, who is white, were involved in a scuffle, followed by gunshots. Brown dies at the scene, and his body remains in the street for four hours in the summer heat.
After a candlelight vigil, people protesting Brown's death smash car windows and carry away armloads of looted goods from stores. In the first of several nights of violence, looters are seen making off with bags of food, toilet paper and alcohol. Some protesters stand atop police cars and taunt officers.
The shooting of 18-year-old Brown by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson led to weeks of protests and saw citizens and heavily armed police clash. Stores in Ferguson were looted and property were destroyed. (AP)

Arizona reports increase in abortions
PHOENIX -- Arizona is recording a 26 percent increase in the number of abortions performed in the state, but the state's top health official said the increase apparently is due to improved reporting.
The Department of Health Services said 14,401 abortions were reported as being performed in 2011. That's up from 11,438 in 2010.
Health Services Director Will Humble said state officials think there previously was under-reporting by providers.
The department has replaced paper reports with an electronic reporting system, and Humble said efforts to boost reporting apparently are paying off.
The report indicates that about two-thirds of the abortions performed in 2011 were surgical. The remaining one-third used medication to terminate pregnancies.

This is my second time eating at this place, first time was great! Second for brunch it was disappointing. I order the country breakfast, wasn't good. My mom order fried calamari and a salad. The salad was good, the calamari was ok until we got to the black stick . We asked the waitress what is it, she didn't know took it back to the kitchen. Came back with a new order said it was a french fry. OK, did not look like one. Then there was a busboy sweeping the ceiling. Thankful it was not over my head. I felt bad for the customers that were sitting there. Very disappointed, I thought I found a gem. Maybe it was an off day, I won't find out!

I am genuinely confused why so many people love this place. I have never had such bland food. I don't know how you can go wrong with combos of great ingredients, but the Smith manages it. And it's not cheap, either. But maybe my taste buds are overstimulated. My friends who like bland food like this place. I had a bland breakfast and then decided to give dinner a chance since people rave about it, and that was bland too. Also, keep in mind that the brunch deal includes a beverage, but they don't serve it before noon (I think?) on Sunday as per NY law. So if you're going in for an early brunch, know that you are paying for the drink inclusive in your meal, but you won't be getting it unless you have time to stick around post-noon. But the waitress was really nice about letting us sit there for a long time so we could eat our breakfast slowly and have our drink after noon.

Pretty good beer selection, mediocre food mostly due to preparation, unjustifiably high prices considering the unimpressive quality of the dishes.

Used to love the Smith and was a regular and after taking some time off (no idea why), we ended up at the smith on a wednesday night. Even though we had a wrong flatbread come out and waited a tiny bit too long, the service was outstanding and the food was even better, therefore resulting in a great night. I highly recommend the tuna tartar, the steak salad and the grilled shrimp with jalapeno grits. I will be coming more often!

Myofascial release is a soft tissue therapy for the treatment of skeletal muscle immobility and pain. This alternative medicine therapy aims to relax contracted muscles, improve blood and lymphatic circulation, and stimulate the stretch reflex in muscles.[1]
Fascia is a thin, tough, elastic type of connective tissue that wraps most structures within the human body, including muscle. Fascia supports and protects these structures. Osteopathic theory proposes that this soft tissue can become restricted due to psychogenic disease, overuse, trauma, infectious agents, or inactivity, often resulting in pain, muscle tension, and corresponding diminished blood flow. Although fascia and its corresponding muscle are the main targets of myofascial release, other tissue may be addressed as well, including other connective tissue.[1] The underlying theory is not supported by medicine, and myofascial release has not been demonstrated effective for any condition.
The approach was first described by osteopath Andrew Taylor Still and his early students.[2] The term "myofascial" was first used in medical literature by Janet G. Travell in the 1940s in reference to musculoskeletal pain syndromes and trigger points.[citation needed] In 1976, Travell began using the term "myofascial trigger point" and in 1983 published the reference Myofascial Pain & Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual.[3] The exact phrase "myofascial release" was coined in the 1960s by Robert Ward, an osteopath who studied with Ida Rolf, the originator of Rolfing. Ward, along with physical therapist John Barnes, are considered the two primary founders of Myofascial Release.[4] [5]
Some practitioners use the term "myofascial therapy" or "myofascial trigger point therapy" referring to the treatment of trigger points. The phrase has also been loosely used for different manual therapy techniques, including soft tissue manipulation work such as connective tissue massage, soft tissue mobilization, foam rolling, and strain-counterstrain techniques.
Myofascial techniques can be described as passive (patient stays completely relaxed) or active (patient provides resistance as necessary), with direct and indirect techniques used in each.
The direct myofascial release method claims to engage the myofascial tissue "restrictive barrier" (tension). The tissue is loaded with a constant force until "release" occurs.[2] Direct release is sometimes called "deep tissue work", a misnomer as some of the important tissues are quite superficial. Practitioners use knuckles, elbows, or other tools to slowly stretch the fascia by applying a few kilograms-force or tens of newtons. Direct myofascial release is an attempt to bring about changes in the myofascial structures by stretching or elongation of fascia, or mobilizing adhesive tissues. The practitioner moves slowly through the layers of the fascia until the deeper tissues are reached.
Robert Ward suggested that the intermolecular forces direct method came from the osteopathy school in the 1920s by William Neidner, at which point it was called "fascial twist". German physiotherapist Elizabeth Dicke developed connective tissue massage (German: Bindegewebsmassage) in the 1920s, which involved superficial stretching of the myofascia. Ida Rolf developed structural integration in the 1940s, a holistic system of connective tissue manipulation and movement education, with the goal of balancing the body. She proposed that she could improve a patient's body posture and movement by bringing the myofascial system toward its optimal pattern. Since Rolf's death in 1979, over a dozen structural integration schools have split off from Rolfing with minor variations on the theme from her original teachings.[6] Rolf's schools maintain that their lineage is distinct from the massage profession, but myofascial release and the larger massage profession have been significantly influenced by her ideas and methods.[4][5][7]
Michael Stanborough borrows principles from Rolfing which can be applied for direct myofascial release technique:[8]
The indirect method involves a gentle stretch, with only a few grams of pressure, which is said to allow the fascia to "unwind" itself, guiding the dysfunctional tissue "along the path of least resistance until free movement is achieved."[2]
Carol Manheim summarized the assumptions underlying the practice of myofascial release:[9]
The indirect myofascial release technique, according to Barnes,[10] is as follows:
In 2011, the UK Advertising Standards Authority ruled that there was inadequate scientific evidence that myofascial release was effective for any condition.[11]

The wooden sideboard, the white boards on the ceiling, warm tan flooring, blue cabinets, vintage light fixtures and display of blue and white pottery
A bench of peeled paint, cozy yellow pillows, rustic stone slate floor and warm yellow walls and accents
Diamond pattern floor, open shelves, blue and green color combo, wood countertops, farm table and vintage-looking refrigerator
Beadboard walls, the blue shelf, dishrack and blue and white linen dishtowel
Farmhouse sink, simple palette
Trimmed white cabinets, black hardware, rag rug, simple plain tiling
A built in nook always lends Arts and Crafts cottage appeal.
Open and light feel (do children peek in that window and ask for fresh cookies?), plate displayed on the wall, wooden stool, striped rug
Cabinet trim, small size, minimal appliances on display, rag rug, I'm starting to sound like a broken record, of course you are getting the gist!
SMEG fridge, and COLOR COLOR COLOR! A pop of turquoise from the old chair, the hanging aprons and the pink roses give this kitchen a hint of Cath Kidston style.
Bright contrasting colors, collections and the painted island
What a difference hardware can make!
I just had to include the small fuchsia kitchen. Spoon storage in the pitcher - it doesn't get much more cottage than that!
While this is a very modern kitchen, the wooden counters give it a touch of cottage warmth.
I imagine this is actually a loft, but the kitchen is one of the smallest I've seen, with everything one needs and a lovely dash of bold mustard.
The plate collection keeps this owner grounded in cottage roots.
Texture from the baskets and the wooden island lend a coastal cottage feel.
I DIE over this wallpaper behind the shelves! I wonder if it is Florence Broadhurst (anyone?)? That sort of built in and the lovely milk glass collection ooze charm.

This nicely appointed open-air restaurant gives hotel dining a better name. The ocean views are stunning, and the gentle trade winds cool the night air. The glassed-in sushi bar is gorgeous. But it's the food that makes Japengo worth a visit. The award-winning sashimi-style hamachi and watermelon is delicious, while the fresh local fish is well prepared and perfectly accompanied. Many dishes are offered in half-portions at half-price, the better to taste more of the creative menu. Perhaps most surprising are the desserts, which are crazy good. Even if dessert translates for you to "chocolate," the flaming piña colada crème here will change your mind forever. www.maui.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels-maui/entertainment/dining_detail.jsp?itemDesc=fboutlet&itemId=1003060.

Cysticercosis and taeniasis are two different diseases caused by the tapeworm, Taenia solium—a parasite of pigs and humans. Taeniasis is an intestinal infection with the adult tapeworm and occurs only in humans. Cysticercosis is an infection of people or pigs and occurs when tapeworm larva become enclosed in a cyst in muscles or other tissues. A person who eats raw or inadequately cooked pork that contains the cysts will develop taeniasis. Persons with taeniasis shed tapeworm eggs in their feces. A pig or person who eats the tapeworm eggs can develop cysticercosis. Persons with taeniasis typically have few or mild symptoms such as abdominal pain and weight loss. Persons with cysticercosis also can have mild symptoms, but if the larvae form cysts in the brain (called "neurocysticercosis") the infected person can experience headaches, seizures, and other severe symptoms.
Although the pork tapeworm is common in many parts of the world, U.S. regulations and husbandry practices have virtually eliminated the parasite from commercial pork in the United States. All pig meat—especially from wild swine or those raised outside the U.S.—should be thoroughly cooked before eating. Washing hands with soap and water after using the toilet and before handling food is an essential part of good food hygiene, especially when traveling in developing countries.

A wide-ranging report on the Scottish logistics industry has been published by the Freight Transport Association at its Scottish Supply Chain Conference, held in Glasgow last week (Sept. 27, 2012) in conjunction with leading law firm DWF-Biggart Baillie.
Professor Alan McKinnon, of Kuhne University, Hamburg, and Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, was commissioned by FTA's Scottish Supply Chain Forum (SSCF) to produce "The Scottish Logistics Report (PDF 48 pages)," which looks at the importance of logistics to Scotland's economy and examines whether Scotland's supply chains are fit for purpose.
The report analyses freight transport trends in Scotland, the road, rail and air freight sectors, container shipping and roll-on roll-off ferry traffic, distribution centre development, carbon emissions from freight traffic originating in Scotland and the involvement of freight vehicles in traffic accidents.
Chris MacRae, FTA's Head of Policy for Scotland said: "This report highlights Scotland's logistical inter-dependence with other parts of the UK, Europe and the world. In the modern world and in a modern economy, supply chains do not exist in isolation – there is always an international aspect."
The report covers many different aspects of logistics operations in Scotland and highlights several notable developments, including:
- A significant decoupling of economic growth and freight ton-km trends, suggesting that the freight transport intensity of the Scottish economy is diminishing.
- Scotland's freight modal split has changed only marginally despite government efforts to promote the use of rail and waterborne services.
- Lorries' share of Scotland's road traffic remained fairly stable at six percent, while van traffic increased its share from 12 percent to 14 percent.
- The number of road freight operators registered in Scotland dropped by a fifth, though the haulage industry remains highly fragmented with the average fleet comprising only 4.5 Lorries.
- A sharp increase in the amount of containerized traffic passing through Scottish ports, partly as a consequence of the boom in Scotch whisky exports.
- A substantial growth of roll-on roll-off traffic using Scottish ports, mainly on the Northern Irish routes. The volumes of roll-on/roll-off traffic on the Rosyth-Zeebrugge route have fallen well below their peak and are below the levels required for long term viability.
- Air freight tonnage handled by Scottish airports has dropped sharply, mainly as a result of the off-shoring of the electronics industry.
- The composition and geographical distribution of Scotland's air freight has radically altered, with the proportion of mail rising from 35 percent to 57 percent and Edinburgh capturing a larger share of the remaining air freight traffic than Prestwick and Glasgow combined.
- There remain serious imbalances in freight traffic flows to and from Scotland across all transport modes. This undoubtedly inhibits the development of direct freight services to and from the country.
- Scotland attracted only around three percent of the new UK floor space in distribution centers of over 10,000 square meters between 1995 and 2011. The recent decision by Amazon to locate its largest European distribution centre in Scotland suggests that the country could do more to exploit its locational advantages as a base for distribution operations.
- CO2 emissions from freight movements originating in Scotland remained fairly stable until 2009 when the recession reduced the level of freight transport activity and cut emissions by around 14 percent.
- there was a steep reduction in the involvement of HGVs and vans in road accidents and in the number of related casualties.
The issues and challenges arising from the conference and the report will be taken forward by FTA's Scottish Supply Chain Forum.
The SSCF is the pan modal supply chain representational body in Scotland, which includes representatives of all parties to the supply chain, including shippers, logistics service providers, carriers, infrastructure and facility providers and non-governmental organizations.

Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C., will make a last-ditch effort Tuesday to demand a vote on the House floor in the Committee of the Whole.
In September, Norton testified in front of the House Rules Committee in favor of amending the House rules to allow delegates to vote. She also sent a letter to Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, and Rules Chairman Pete Sessions, R-Texas, in December asking that she be granted a vote, but to no avail. A draft of the House rules package expected to be approved Tuesday does not include a delegate vote.
The congressional budget deal that is poised to block District voters' decision to legalize pot will almost certainly not be the final word on the matter. Here are five reasons why:
1. The vast majority of D.C. residents don't want it to be: Almost seven in 10 D.C. voters backed legalization last month at the polls.
Mayor-elect Muriel E. Bowser (D) voted for it, and so did almost every member of the D.C. Council. And they did so not to make it easy for well-off, white college students to fearlessly smoke a joint.
Congressional Republicans on Tuesday picked Representative Jason Chaffetz of Utah to take over the House Oversight Committee next January, succeeding term-limited Darrell Issa as the White House's chief inquisitor and—more importantly for Washington residents—the District's overseer on Capitol Hill.
Earlier this week, President Barack Obama said he supports statehood for the District of Columbia. ButFlorida Congressman John Mica believes otherwise.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A D.C. councilmember and mayoral candidate is hoping to have a word with the Republican congressman who wants to block the nation's capital from liberalizing its marijuana laws.
Councilmember David Catania says he'll be at Rep. Andy Harris' office on Friday morning to request a meeting.
Ask Congress to Refrain From Adding Social Policy Riders on DC Appropriations Bill
Today, DC Vote along with 41 other local and national organizations, delivered letters to all members of Congress urging them to oppose all efforts to undermine the District's local autonomy though the fiscal year 2015 appropriations process.
DC Vote Executive Director Kimberly Perry issued the following statement regarding the District of Columbia Court of Appeals ruling that the city must conduct an election for Attorney General in 2014.
"DC Vote is pleased that the Court affirmed that the voters of the District have the ability to expand democracy at the local level," said DC Vote Executive Director Kimberly Perry. "We commend Paul Zukerberg and DC Appleseed for standing up to protect the will of the people," Perry said.
Today, DC Vote sent a letter to the fifty US Senators who signed a letter to the NFL about the Washington football team name, urging them to support legislation to advance DC autonomy, including a bill to grant DC statehood.
The Senators' May 22 letter to the NFL includes this passage:
Today's ruling by Judge Sullivan to stop DC's new budget autonomy law is unfortunate and disappointing.

INTUITIVE INVESTIGATOR is a true crime series by Deanne Acuña, a Los Angeles private investigator.
LOSING LISA – Intuitive Investigator: Book One is on sale NOW!
Lisa Norris was the perfect kid—the same couldn't be said of her brother. Drug addicted and crazed with greed, Kevin Norris shot their mother, father and younger brother in their opulent suburban L.A. home, leaving them for dead.
Apprehended in Las Vegas, Kevin proves smarter than the system by behaving psychotic to get a mental evaluation in the jail ward of the Los Angeles county hospital. Escaping custody, he eludes authorities during a five-state manhunt with one goal in mind: Eliminate Lisa so he will inherit the entire family fortune.
Afraid for her life, Lisa turns to Deanne Acuña, a private eye renowned for her sixth sense as well as her common sense. In an extraordinary show of courage and intuitive skills, the P.I. offers a safe haven for Lisa then sets out to track down Kevin Norris—a journey that will test her abilities and Lisa's will to survive as she is stripped not only of family and friends but of her very identity. In order to protect the identities of the innocent and deny notoriety for the guilty, changes have been made in names, locales and dates in the INTUITIVE INVESTIGATOR series.

Ichiro Suzuki Rumors
AL Notes: Pierzynski, Harang, Ichiro, Orioles, Rangers
New Red Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski is virtually the peer of special advisor Jason Varitek — the two are only four years apart in age. But Pierzynski has still sought out Varitek's advice this spring, Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald writes. "He's one of those guys, he came before me, so you kind of always looked up to him," Pierzynski says. "To be able to be in the same organization and be able to talk to him and learn things from him, it's huge. You can always get better and he was one of the best, so anything he can bring to the table to help me I'm definitely going to take and use." Here are more notes from the American League.
- The Indians have told starting pitcher Aaron Harang, who had been competing for their fifth starter job, that he won't make the team's 25-man roster, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian tweets. Harang has the ability to opt out of minor-league deal on Monday.
- The Yankees are willing to eat part of Ichiro Suzuki's $6.5MM 2014 salary in the right trade, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman writes. No deal appears to be imminent, however. Ichiro, who hit .262/.297/.342 with the Yankees in 2013, does not have a starting role this season.
- Orioles manager Buck Showalter says "vultures" are interested in his team's out-of-options players, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com writes. "I know a lot of vultures are lurking around with our out-of-option guys. We've got quite an attendance here," Showalter says. "I get a list of the scouts every day, and if anything, it's gotten more. We had 17 here the other day." Two weeks ago, MLBTR's Tim Dierkes noted that the Orioles' out-of-options players included Edgmer Escalona, Chris Davis, Tommy Hunter, Troy Patton, Nolan Reimold, Chris Tillman, Zach Britton, David Lough, Brian Matusz, Steve Pearce, Francisco Peguero and Josh Stinson. Obviously, the Orioles are in no danger of losing someone like Davis, and Escalona and Peguero appear likely to start the season on the disabled list. But the Orioles will have to make decisions about players like Pearce and some of the pitchers. The team recently designated another out-of-options player, Kelvin De La Cruz, for assignment.
- "I thought way too short term with the Garza deal last year. That one's got a chance to haunt us and haunt me," Rangers GM Jon Daniels told Zach Buchanan of the Arizona Republic in reference to his trade with the Cubs. Daniels gave up C.J. Edwards, Mike Olt, Justin Grimm and Neil Ramirez for Garza. Olt could soon make an impact in the big leagues, but it's Edwards and Ramirez who might turn out to be the keys to the deal — Edwards was terrific down the stretch last year for Class A+ Daytona, and Ramirez has pitched well in spring training after posting a terrific strikeout rate in Double-A last season.

AL East Notes: Ichiro, Tigers, Cervelli, Blue Jays
A year ago, Jon Lester was coming off a poor season and his long-term future in Boston looked in doubt. Now, as Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald writes, Lester has rebuilt his career following a rebound season and another World Series ring, and it seems he's in position for a nine-figure contract from either the Red Sox or another club as a free agent next winter. Lester and the Sox have discussed an extension, and Lauber notes that the Sox (for all their promising young arms on the farm) have nobody who can replace Lester's 200 innings in 2015, so the club needs their star southpaw back.
Here's the latest from around the AL East…
- Yankees officials tell Joel Sherman of the New York Post that the Tigers haven't asked about Ichiro Suzuki in the wake of Andy Dirks' injury. Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski tells Sherman that his team is "not actively seeking a big move," though they haven't decided if they'll use an internal or external player to platoon with Rajai Davis in left.
- Ichiro, for his part, had "nothing to say about" the subject of whether or not he would want to play for another team that could offer him more regular playing time. "But as far as being part of [trade rumors], when I first came to New York, I knew it was something that happens here," Suzuki said. "You have to be emotionally ready and prepare yourself for it."
- Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli seems somewhat torn between his desire for more playing time and his desire to remain with the Yankees. "I've been here forever. I don't have that answer right now because this is, I feel like, my house," Cervelli told reporters, including Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News. "But if somebody wants me to go over there, I've got to make the adjustment. I told you guys many times that my dream is to be a starting catcher. Right now, my role is a backup. That's what I'm playing for. But I'm never going to stop because an opportunity is going to come again." Cervelli has drawn interest from several teams (including the White Sox and Diamondbacks) as one of Yankees' backup catchers could be traded to bring infield help to the Bronx.
- The Blue Jays' lack of success in obtaining starting pitching this offseason leads Sportsnet.ca's Shi Davidi to re-evaluate the team's decisions to not tender a qualifying offer to Josh Johnson and to pass on a potential trade for Brett Anderson due to medical concerns.
- According to some Red Sox players, Stephen Drew regrets not accepting Boston's $14.1MM qualifying offer, Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe reports. Drew has lingered on the free agent market in his search for a multiyear deal, and while the possibility of returning to the Sox as a veteran alternative for Xander Bogaerts or Will Middlebrooks seemed to have potential earlier this winter, the club seems to have moved on. Red Sox veterans, Abraham writes, no longer feel the team needs to re-sign Drew after seeing how Middlebrooks has conducted himself during Spring Training.
- No matter how well the Rays perform on the field or how much they spend on payroll, Cork Gaines of Rays Index notes that the team can't seem to top an average of 23,000 fans per game at Tropicana Field. Gaines speculates that even a World Series title could only bump the Rays over that 23K attendance threshold for a season or two, at most.

AL Notes: FA Spending, Ichiro, Dirks, Skaggs
We already know that the 2013-14 free agent market has featured incredible spending levels, but what does that mean for how teams value a win (above replacement)? Dave Cameron of Fangraphs breaks down the cost of a projected win for each player that signed a major league deal. The results show that teams have spent at levels that, depending upon what discount rate and precise methodology is employed, value an expected win at between $5MM and $7MM. In a follow-up piece, Cameron observes that, at least for players who are expected to be regular contributors, the spending shows a non-linear escalation of the price of a win (i.e., teams are paying a premium to lock up high-WAR players). Then again, says Cameron, one team — the Yankees — bid on all and signed most of the top (3+-win) players who were on the market, which could have skewed the results. Be sure to read both pieces for all the details on this fascinating topic.
Here are more notes from around the league:
- The Yankees' rash of spending may have pushed him to the periphery of the team's roster, but Ichiro Suzuki is not changing his approach, writes Dave D'Alessandro of the Newark Star-Ledger. "Whatever my role is here — whether I'm a starter or not — my preparation never changes," said Ichiro. "Every day I'm going to do the exact same thing regardless of what my role will be. … If I was the type of player who changes the way I prepare myself, I wouldn't be the player I have been."
- Outfielder Andy Dirks of the Tigers will undergo back surgery and is expected to be out of action for three months, reports the Detroit Free Press (via Twitter). Dirks had been expected to be the left-handed-hitting side of a left field platoon with Rajai Davis. GM Dave Dombrowski indicated that the club hopes to rely on its internal options — including Davis, the switch-hitting Steve Lombardozzi, and left-handed swinging Don Kelly — to fill the void, James Schmehl of MLive.com reports. "We think we have some good candidates," said Dombrowski, "but we'll just have to wait and see. I don't want to proclaim that to be 100 percent, but we do have some people that we feel have the chance to play a bigger role for us."
- After coming over as the key piece in the Mark Trumbo deal, 22-year-old lefty Tyler Skaggs is a key to a high-priced Angels club, writes Richard Justice of MLB.com. "He's very important to our season, very important to our future," said GM Jerry Dipoto. "Tyler, being that he's the youngest and least-experienced of our starters, it's an important spring for him to take that next step and establish himself at the major league level."

Ichiro Intends To Play "Many" Seasons After 2014
Ichiro Suzuki is entering the last year of his contract with the Yankees and, though he turns 41 years old in October, the outfielder tells ESPN New York's Wallace Matthews that he plans to play "not just a few" but "many" seasons past the 2014 campaign. "Retirement from baseball is something I haven't even thought about….For me, I feel there's no reason for me to retire right now," Suzuki said.
Suzuki has hit just .273/.305/.356 in 1939 PA over the last three seasons, missing only 13 games during that stretch though he is no longer producing like an everyday player. His playing time will be drastically reduced this season given that the Yankees have Jacoby Ellsbury, Brett Gardner, Carlos Beltran and Alfonso Soriano slated for the regular outfield and DH positions, respectively.
While Suzuki says "there's no reason for me not to play every day" and is physically preparing himself for a full 162 games, he admits that "when I first signed here I knew what I was getting into. I knew every year there would be changes and things would happen that maybe we can't control."
"I don't know how I'm going to feel once the season starts. I don't know what it's going to be like. But right now, it doesn't change the way I prepare myself throughout the spring."
Despite his decline at the plate, Suzuki still brings a lot of value as a backup, if not as a starter. He has provided excellent right field defense (UZR/150 scores of +16 and +17.8 in 2012 and 2013, respectively) as a Yankee and is still a stolen base threat, not to mention his durability. Suzuki is 258 hits away from the 3000-hit plateau and only 236 hits away from a symbolic tie with Pete Rose's record 4256 hits (though, of course, 1278 of Suzuki's hits came in Japan).
NL Notes: Marlins, Reds, Yoon
Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow today; so, according to legend, there will be six more weeks of winter. But, for baseball fans, spring does begin early this year when pitchers and catchers for the Diamondbacks (February 6) and Dodgers (February 8) report one week earlier than the other 28 MLB teams because of their season-opening series in Australia. Here's today's news and notes from the National League:
- Marlins President David Samson told reporters, including MLB.com's Joe Frisaro, the team is still looking to add some depth. "Certainly, you're looking at some potential non-roster invites," said Samson. "We're looking to bring people in to compete, because you just don't know. What we've learned over the years is you have injuries. The more depth you can have going into a camp, the better it is." The Marlins have invited 26 non-roster players to camp and Frisaro notes another reliever or two could be added to that total.
- The Reds have had a lackluster offseason, but still have a good strong core of starting pitching and position players to be very competitive in the NL Central, according to Mark Sheldon of MLB.com in a readers inbox column.
- Within the same article, Sheldon shot down any notion the Reds would have interest in Ichiro Suzuki citing his age, salary, and defensive limitations.
- Suk-Min Yoon held a workout on the campus of UC-Irvine Friday attended by the Giants and Orioles, per a report from SBS (h/t Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net). Earlier this week, it was reported four clubs had extended offers to the Korean right-hander with negotiations underway with two of those teams. The Twins, Red Sox, and Indians have been linked to Yoon this offseason with varying degrees of interest.

East Notes: Ichiro, Casilla, Coghlan, Lind
Now that the Yankees have designated Vernon Wells for assignment, they're more likely to keep Ichiro Suzuki, NJ.com's Brendan Kuty writes. If Ichiro stays, it will be in a bench role, with Brett Gardner, Jacoby Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran holding the starting outfield roles and Alfonso Soriano mostly playing DH. There had been some whispers that the Yankees could trade Ichiro, although, as Kuty points out, it was unclear who the Yankees might trade him to. Here are more notes from the East divisions.
- The recent re-signing of Alexi Casilla to a minor-league deal gives the Orioles another backup plan if Manny Machado is unable to completely recover from his knee injury by the beginning of the season, Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun writes. If Machado isn't ready to go, the Orioles could move Ryan Flaherty to third and start either Casilla or Jemile Weeks at second. Jonathan Schoop might also be a possibility there, but Encina notes that the O's would like to give Schoop more time at Triple-A.
- The Marlins are unlikely to re-sign outfielder Chris Coghlan, says MLB.com's Joe Frisaro. They non-tendered him last month, and have since added Brian Bogusevic, who looks likely to occupy an outfield bench role. The Marlins could have a starting outfield of Christian Yelich, Marcell Ozuna and Giancarlo Stanton.
- Adam Lind is glad the Blue Jays exercised his $7MM option this offseason, Shi Davidi of SportsNet.ca reports. "I was really hoping I was going to be back, but for some reason you never find out until the last minute, and I'm really excited and pumped to be able to stay here for another season," Lind says. There have also been trade rumors about Lind this offseason, but Davidi writes that the Blue Jays never really wanted to trade him.

Rosenthal on Angels, Qualifying Offers, Drew, Jays, Putz
The Angels are likely to eclipse the $189MM luxury-tax threshold eventually, despite their efforts to avoid doing so this offseason, Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal writes. Sources tell the columnist that the Angels have between $13MM and $15MM of space left beneath the cap, figures that are much lower than what will be required to sign Masahiro Tanaka. However, extending Mike Trout at, say, $300MM over 10 years would make it difficult to avoid surpassing the threshold anyway, so the Angels may as well do so now, Rosenthal surmises. Here's more from his new column:
- This offseason's big contracts for less-than-durable stars like Jacoby Ellsbury, Curtis Granderson and Brian McCann show that position players can earn more as free agents than they would with club-friendly, long-term deals. Meanwhile, clubs appear increasingly willing to move players who resist extensions. For example, sources tell Rosenthal that rival teams have asked about Astros catcher Jason Castro, who could be moved if Houston is unable to ink him long-term.
- Qualifying offers appear to have suppressed the market for players such as Nelson Cruz and Kendrys Morales, frustrating player representatives. Potential fixes to the system include guaranteeing that free agents receive a qualifying offer only once, or ensuring that teams signing free agents who received qualifying offers lose only draft picks and not their associated bonus-pool amounts. The current system will remain in place for another two offseasons, Rosenthal notes.
- Stephen Drew appears to be a fit for the Mets, rival executives say, despite the club's insistence that it will consider Ruben Tejada for its starting shortstop job.
- The Blue Jays remain among the favorites to sign either Ervin Santana or Ubaldo Jimenez, despite their quiet offseason thus far. The Jays could acquire as many as two starters before the offseason is over, Rosenthal reports. In addition to upgrading through free agency, the club has also discussed trades for the Cubs' Jeff Samardzija and other starters.
- The Diamondbacks could trade J.J. Putz after acquiring Addison Reed from the White Sox. Swapping the righty for Yankees outfielder Ichiro Suzuki is one potential deal, or Putz could be packaged with other players in a deal for a starter such as Yovani Gallardo of the Brewers.

Yankees Likely To Keep Gardner, Try To Trade Ichiro
With the additions of Jacoby Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran, the Yankees have a surplus in their outfield. They're not likely to address that surplus by trading Brett Gardner, however, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports. The Yankees like the idea of having both Ellsbury and Gardner in their outfield, and they will likely focus on trading Ichiro Suzuki instead.
As Heyman points out, however, there isn't likely to be a particularly robust market for Ichiro. The 40-year-old hit .262/.297/.342 in 2013.
NL West Notes: Uribe, Ibanez, Young, Morse, Ichiro
In an Insider post (subscription required), Jim Bowden of ESPN and MLB Network Radio names eight players who could be traded during the Winter Meetings. The Rays' David Price tops the list with Bowden's possible destinations starting with the Dodgers. The Dodgers also have two of their own on the list: outfielders Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier. Here's more on the Boys in Blue and the rest of the NL West:
- Re-signing Juan Uribe figures to be at or near the top of the Dodgers' to-do list at the Winter Meetings, according to Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times.
- Uribe is not seeking a three-year contract and the holdup with the Dodgers is either their desire for a one-year deal or money, tweets ESPNLosAngeles.com's Mark Saxon.
- Troy Renck of the Denver Post tweeted confirmation of an earlier report the Rockies are interested in Raul Ibanez, but cautioned nothing is serious at this point. Renck also noted Michael Young is on the club's radar for a bench role.
- The Rockies are also becoming more serious about Michael Morse along with the Giants, Marlins, and Rangers, reports the New York Post's Joel Sherman (Twitter links).
- There's been speculation the Giants could be a fit for Ichiro Suzuki, but Ken Davidoff of the New York Post tweets he doesn't believe that's the case.
- The demands of the trade market will determine what course Diamondbacks GM Kevin Towers takes during the Winter Meetings, reports azcentral.com's Nick Piecoro. "Most people are asking for quite a bit right now, I'm not real excited about what I'd have to give up in the trade market," Towers said. "I'm hoping maybe the price starts to come down. If not, then I'll turn to more free agents."
- Left-hander Erick Threets is looking to play in Asia, tweets Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times. The 32-year-old spent 2013 with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League pitching to a 7.04 ERA, 5.9 K/9, and 7.5 BB/9 in 23 innings covering 27 relief outings. Threets' last MLB affiliation was with the Dodgers' Triple-A team 2012 and his last appearance in a big league game was in 2010 for the White Sox.
