Future of Privacy Forum Announces Research Initiative to Develop Effective Messages to Communicate With Users About Online Data Use
Project will examine successful ways to provide more transparency and control to users
The initiative follows a recent report issued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which called on the industry to conduct research about the effects of possible disclosures on consumer understanding in the field of online behavioral advertising.
In support of the research project, FTC Commissioner
Over the next several weeks, FPF will be working with creative experts and research specialists at WPP and others, to develop a variety of notices that will resonate with consumers and begin to test them with users. Professor
Polonetsky stressed, "Privacy policies will continue to play an important role in legally binding companies to commitments and providing essential details regarding their data practices. Widespread agreement now exists, however, that more candid, prominent, and engaging methods are needed to ensure that trustworthy and meaningful communications are provided to users."
FPF hopes to release materials from the initial phase of the research by the end of the summer.
What Others Are Saying About The FPF Research Initiative
"AOL has done research that showed consumers value diversity in how we communicate to them about privacy, and FPF's new research will explore innovative ways of engaging and educating consumers."
"When it comes to online data practices, transparency by all actors in the online ecosystem is needed to ensure that consumers are in control of their online experience. We at AT&T are happy to see Polonetsky and Wolf at the Future of Privacy Forum embark on a research project that will hopefully provide more insight into how to effectively communicate consumer options and control online."
"TRUSTe has long guided our thousands of sealholders to make privacy notices more accessible — from advocating for layered notices to the 'just-in-time' choices for downloadable software. TRUSTe is pleased to provide practical input to FPF on this new research initiative that we expect will contribute to our ongoing efforts to provide more trustworthy notices to consumers."
"Yahoo! believes that offering customized experiences on our sites and our ad network provides real benefits to users. Research into how best to communicate with consumers about these uses of data and their options is essential to engendering trust and ensuring a compelling online experience."

Some people love falling in love. Other people say that they don't need someone to make them happy. Happiness does come within but it is also good to be in a relationship.
It is nice to have someone. When you have someone who contacts you and go out on dates with it's a nice feeling. Knowing that the person you love, loves you back is great. You share memories with someone and you are always smiling.
Of course that doesn't mean settle for anyone. Take your time and get to know you and give guys a chance. Then sooner or later the right one will come along. Don't cross off guys on your list because sooner or later you will get lonely. As time goes on you will want a companion especially after seeing all your friends with someone.
It's nice to bring someone to family parties. Someone who is there for you at the end of the day. It's great in general to have someone there for you through thick and thin.
Everyone should be in a relationship to experience love. They should be in a relationship to experience true happiness. True happiness where you are always smiling because you have someone special who puts a smile on your face.

Click here for a statement from Nathan Runkle, Mercy For Animals' executive director.
What are pro-factory farm interests in Iowa trying so desperately to hide? See for yourself, and then help expose Iowa's dirty secret by sharing this video with the world:
Not a single federal law protects farmed animals from abuse or neglect during their lives on factory farms and Iowa specifically excludes farmed animals from protection against even some of the worst forms of factory farm cruelty. But instead of strengthening its pathetic laws to protect animals and consumers, Iowa lawmakers are attempting to silence undercover investigators who expose cruel and even criminal activities at factory farms.
Undercover investigations by Mercy For Animals and other groups have led to landmark corporate animal welfare policy reforms, new and improved laws to protect farmed animals and the environment, felony convictions of animal abusers, increased consumer protection and food safety initiatives, and the closure of particularly corrupt facilities. Without undercover investigations, there are oftentimes no effective watchdogs protecting animals from egregious cruelty in these facilities.
It is now more important than ever before to expose the cruel and corrupt practices of factory farms nationwide.
What You Can Do:
Expose Factory Farm Cruelty - Please share this video with as many people as you can and help expose the cruel and corrupt practices of Iowa's factory farming industry.
Stop the Ag-Gag - Harmful and unconstitutional whistleblower-suppression legislation is now being considered in the following states. If you live in one of these states, please take action below:
- Illinois: HB 5143 - Take Action
- New York: S 5172 - Take Action
- Utah: HB 187 - Take Action
- Indiana: SB 184 (bill pending)
- Minnesota: HF 1369/ SF 1118 (bill pending)
- Missouri: SB 695 (bill pending)
- Nebraska: LB 915 (bill pending)
Choose Vegetarian - Every time we sit down to eat, we can choose compassion over cruelty. Adopting a diet free of meat, dairy and eggs is perhaps the single most important and powerful action you can take to prevent needless cruelty to animals. Visit ChooseVeg.com to learn more.
Make a Donation - Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help Mercy For Animals continue our vital work to expose and end cruelty to animals.

28.03.05 - By Tony Nobbs: IBF Flyweight champion Vic Darchinyan made a successful first defence and added the IBO title by stopping South African Mzukisi Sikali in an entertaining unification at the State Sports Centre in Homebush on Easter Sunday night. In a battle of left handers, it was Darchinyans vaunted power that told in the end and Sikali, who looked to be wilting in the seventh round pulled a no mas at 2 min 22 seconds of round eight.. Hed been hurt through the round and a short right uppercut was the last punch of the fight.
Not an action packed slugfest but a good match between a still progressing champion and a skilful but slow veteran. Sikali did a good job standing in front of Vic and making him miss but his counters lacked the pep to seriously fluster Sydneys Armenian Olympian who loaded up just about everything as usual and dug in some telling shots to the body and uppercuts to the head. The visitor was only going to take stiff punishment had he continued. Both fighters ended up with cuts and swelling and 'the victor' looked to be tiring in the fifth before turning it back on.
Darchinyan won the IBF title from long time champ Irene Pacheo via eleven round TKO December last and called out WBA title holder Lorenzo Parra after the fight. He has been the flag bearer for Team Fenech fighters in world title bouts.
In the undercard action IBF light welter Pan Pac Champ Lovemore Ndou knocked out Jesar Anjeras The Philippines in round two. A left to the body. The visitor had gone eight with Noefel Ben Rabah, the West Australian hope who has been calling Ndou out for a long time.
Nadel Hussein needed just 36 seconds to dispose of Tanzanian Obete Ameme. Two left rips and Ameme fell along the ropes. This was Husseins first bout back since dropping a lack lustre unanimous decision for the WBC 122 lb belt

The tough Rolando, who weighted lightweight, has lost six straight (some close decisions) and is in desperate need of a win to get his career going again or risk the danger of becoming a plodding trial horse.
Former amateur star Chris Hamilton knocked out once dangerous Sam Setu in round three. A southpaw left did the job. Middleweight Hamilton had around 3 ½ kg pull in weights.

I mean that if people knew some financial mathematics they would easily understand that it is much cheaper to rent a house, and save and invest the difference between rent and mortgage, than paying a mortgage.
I have actually put my house on sale. I will invest the sale proceed in shares, earning dividends (very easy to make 5% after taxes nowadays, I hope I sell my house before the next stock bubble). The dividends will pay for a nice rent on the outskirts of Rome, plus a comfortable "rent" living.
Mortgages make people poor. Buy a house when you have the money to pay it cash, I say. A mortgage is a way to pay interest on a large capital. Saving is a way to earn interest. A mortgage instalment is much bigger than a rent for the same house if the market is in a normal state. The monthly difference, properly invested for the long term, will buy a house faster than the mortgage.

NORTON, Mass. — William McGirt again has his grip on his FedEx Cup fate.
Last week, the Fairmont native missed the cut in The Barclays, so it was the play of fellow golfers — and friends of McGirt — that allowed him to live for another day in the PGA Tour's version of a playoff system. McGirt had entered The Barclays 92nd on the FedEx Cup list, and had tumbled below the cut of 100 to advance before landing on the 99th spot at the conclusion of the tournament.
McGirt told PGA.com that he and his wife Sarah were driving to Cape Cod when he decided to end the updates on what was happening at The Barclays.
"I was very at peace with whatever was going to happen on Sunday," McGirt told the website. "I told Sarah, you know, if the worst thing that happens is I get to go home and spend five or six weeks with her and the baby, there's nothing bad coming out of that. … It's all a bonus from here."
McGirt, who had missed the cut at The Barclays by a single shot, said he didn't want to be rooting for other players to make bogeys.
"At that point it's completely out of my control and I'm not wishing anything bad on anybody else out here," McGirt told PGA.com this week. "I play with these guys every week. I'm friends with them."
Although he tees off today on No. 10 at 1:46 p.m. in the Deutsche Bank Championship, the second round of the four-tournament FedEx Cup, simply making the cut won't be good enough. He will need to finish 16th or higher to earn a spot in the BMW Championship, where his FedEx Cup ended in 2012. This is his third straight year making the FedEx Cup playoffs.
He knows, based on his good luck from last weekend, it's all gravy.
"I dodged so many bullets it's crazy," McGirt told PGA.com. "I mean, it had to be a perfect scenario for me to get in and it happened. Truthfully, I wish I had gone and bought a lottery ticket. It's crazy how stuff like that shakes out. I feel for Badds with the finish he had. It was heartbreaking."
He was referring to Aaron Baddeley, who stumbled home in The Barclays, ensuring that McGirt and Camilo Villegas, who finished in the 100th slot, moved on.
Regardless of his performance in the Deutsche Bank Championship, McGirt, with more than $867,000 in earnings this year, has full status on the PGA Tour next year.
Tiger Woods,, who battled a bad back and finished second at The Barclayes, enters today's tournament atop the FedEx Cup Standings. Adam Scott, the winner at The Barclays, is in second and Phil Mickelson is in third.

Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: In view of the Delhi Government's recent proposal to bring the Municipal Corporation of Delhi under its jurisdiction, MCD Leader of Opposition J. K. Sharma has decided to meet Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit later this week.
'Reduced powers'
According to sources, most of the Congress councillors are against a division of the civic agency as it would diminish their roles as municipal councillors. A senior Congress councillor said: "Councillors are naturally resisting the move because if the MCD is divided into two or three parts we will have less control and reduced powers." Sixty Congress councillors had also passed a resolution recently opposing the Delhi Government's proposal to divide the MCD's 12 zones into different parts that would be answerable to the State Government. "We have decided to meet the Chief Minister and request her that the councillors should be consulted before taking any decision in this regard," said Mr. Sharma.
The councillors are also unhappy with the Delhi Government's recent move to reduce their local area development funds from Rs.2 crore to Rs.50 lakh following failure of the councillors to fully utilise the funds before their expiry.

I pinged him a couple times but no response.... guess he lost interest in making it right, so fuck them
note also that almost every one of these I've seen has a wrinkle or two somewhere on the transition from the flat to the horn.
You should just give them a call, i'm sure they'll clear it up. Robert and Lendon are good guys, they just have a lot of business.
I'll admit i'm a little less than ecstatic about mine, the transition from flat to horn slopes downward too far and as a result i spend a lot of time sliding onto my balls. That said, my seat is unusual and i popped in on them on a friday afternoon and they still suited me up within an hour. Both Robert and Lendon were helpful and friendly, and said if I had any issues I should give them a call. I just haven't called them yet, and that's on me. Meanwhile, it's still an enormous improvement over stock and totally worth the time/money.

Furry Friends Rescue is a great organization that always puts the welfare of the rescued cats and dogs as its top priority. They work with the public and interested adopters in learning how to provide the best care for the animals.
Provisions, vet care and high-quality food are all provided by FFR to ensure optimal care for the animals.They do home visits for every foster home and adopter to ensure that the animals are being cared for in a suitable environment.
As a foster home myself, I know firsthand how fun and easy it is join. Obligations aren't excessively strict in terms of time and effort as long as the animals are safe and healthy. The only requirement is that you be available to bring your foster animal to showcase events so it can get some exposure to potential adopters as well as help educate interested members of the public on caring for dogs and cats that may have special needs.
The volunteers are friendly and enjoy themselves as they help in a good cause. It's all about teamwork! The junior volunteers are have a great attitude. They are always happy to help, learn and take instruction from the adults.
Furry Friends Rescue provides a safe, positive environment for both humans and animals alike. With its commitment to saving at-risk animals and operating properly "by-the-book," it's absolutely no wonder that FFR has continued to grow and thrive since it's start in 1998.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Seeing out of time, sad, neglected and scared dogs, pups, cats, and kittens at animal shelters blossom in their foster home and then adopted to their forever perfect homes.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
make a huge difference in California. Money is focused on the animals that need to be saved, and not salary or buildings.

Murphy, a venture capitalist, has been an ardent supporter of President Barack Obama's stimulus plan. Tedisco on the other hand, would never say whether or not he would have supported the measure.
"I would never vote for something I haven't completely read," Tedisco said in a recent interview.
The race cost Tedisco more than a lost election, as he was forced to resign as Assembly Minority Leader shortly after the adoption of the state budget in early April.
In recent days, many of his GOP counterparts have called for his concession after the AP reported the district was missing out on stimulus funding because of a lack of representation.
"I think Jim ran a quality campaign," State Assemblywoman Betty Little said recently.

Chase Headley Rumors
Quick Hits: Maeda, Headley, Miller, Phils
26-year-old Kenta Maeda of Japan's Hiroshima Carp is expected to become available through the posting system, making him an intriguing potential addition to the upcoming free agent market. Ben Badler of Baseball America has a report on Maeda's last outing in the Nippon League, writing that he "flash[ed] three average or better pitches with good fastball command." Though slight in build, Maeda steadily worked in the 90-94 mph range. Ultimately, Badler indicates that, while the righty is not viewed as a top-of-the-rotation arm at the MLB level, he should draw plenty of interest if he is made available.
Here are a few more stray notes from around the game:
- The Yankees may be interested in re-signing mid-season acquisition Chase Headley, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. A move to bring back the third baseman would appear to be a strong indication that Alex Rodriguez is not expected to be an option there, Heyman explains.
- The Tigers thought they were going to acquire then-Red Sox lefty Andrew Miller at the trade deadline after meeting Boston's asking price, reports Joel Sherman of the New York Post. But the Sox gave the Orioles one last chance, resulting in Eduardo Rodriguez heading north to a division rival. As Sherman notes, the eleven outs that Miller recorded in the ALDS for the O's, rather than the Tigers, had an undeniable impact on Baltimore's three-game sweep.
- Looking ahead to Miller's free agency, one executive tells Sherman that three years and $21MM is probably just the starting point for the southpaw's market. The ability to deploy Miller in the way that the Yankees used Dellin Betances in his breakout year — often throwing multiple innings in winnable games — greatly increases his value, says Sherman.
- Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. says "there's nothing that's really off the table" for the team as it enters the offseason, as MLB.com's Todd Zolecki reports. Though he said he does not believe "this organization needs a philosophical overhaul as far as how we evaluate players," Amaro said the team needs to get younger and more athletic while "looking for more long-term solutions" in the player market. Ultimately, the organization could put added emphasis on "speed and contact" given the lack of power bats available.

Free Agent Stock Watch: Chase Headley
In two years, Chase Headley has gone from an MVP candidate to an afterthought, regressing from .286/.376/.498 in 2012 to .250/.347/.400 in 2013 to .238/.315/.363 this season. In July, Headley finally left San Diego behind, heading to the Yankees for infielder Yangervis Solarte and pitching prospect Rafael De Paula. Solarte is a solid, cost-controlled player, and De Paula a reasonable pitching prospect, but the return the Padres got when they traded Headley shows that his value isn't nearly what it once was — the Yankees had signed Solarte to a minor league deal just months earlier.
Still, Headley is an important free agent, and he and his representation at Excel Sports Management might be able to negotiate a surprisingly good contract, given a number of factors that will be in their favor this offseason. Even when Headley struggles to hit, he provides good value thanks to his glove at third base, which routinely ranks among the best at his position. UZR rates Headley as about 43 runs above average at third over his career, including 16.2 runs above average this year. Due to his defensive chops and the tough offensive environment in San Diego, Headley has always posted strong fWAR numbers, rating as 3.5 wins above replacement in 2013 and 3.2 this season. His 2014 fWAR puts him in the same neighborhood as players like Evan Longoria, Edwin Encarnacion and Nelson Cruz, even in a season in which Headley is perceived as being a disappointment.
On top of that, Headley, like many other free agents, will have the benefit of a weak free agent hitting class. Headley, Pablo Sandoval and possibly Aramis Ramirez (who has a mutual option) will top a fairly good group of third basemen, with the possibility that Hanley Ramirez could market himself as a third baseman as well. Elsewhere, Cruz, Russell Martin and Melky Cabrera headline a class of hitters so weak that the Red Sox, for example, already appear to have tried to remake their 2015 offense by doing their shopping during the season (acquiring Rusney Castillo, Yoenis Cespedes and Allen Craig) rather than waiting until it's over. Any team trying to improve its collection of position players will have a rough time this offseason.
That Headley did not sign a pre-free agency extension with the Padres could also work in his favor. Early-career extensions have enabled many ballplayers to mitigate risk and make millions early in their careers, but Headley and the Padres never agreed on one, perhaps in part because he was already into his arbitration seasons by the time he broke out in 2012. As a result, he'll hit free agency as a 30-year-old. With free agents getting older and older, a young-ish free agent like Headley should be able to do relatively well. That's not to say he's low-risk — Shin-Soo Choo and Brian McCann were around the age Headley is now when they signed free agent contracts last offseason, and one year in, neither of those deals look good. But all things considered, it's better to sign a 30-year-old than a 34-year-old.
Both Ramirezes — Aramis and Hanley — have had trouble staying healthy, and Aramis' advanced age suggests that's not likely to change. Sandoval has been more durable, but given his physique, that might not continue. Headley, meanwhile, has had his own health issues, with a broken thumb, calf strain and a herniated disc in his back included in his list of medical troubles the past couple years. He's generally been able to stay on the field and provide value despite them, however.
Headley will also have an edge on his third base free agent competition in that the Yankees will not be able to extend a qualifying offer, since they traded for him this season. Sandoval and both Ramirezes will be eligible for qualifying offers (depending on the results of Aramis' mutual option), and the markets for any of those players would be diminished somewhat if they declined them. Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez are somewhere near that awkward point where they're clearly worth qualifying offers but not worth so much that qualifying offers won't harm their value. For a Robinson Cano-type player, the qualifying offer is little more than a blip on the radar, but there isn't anyone in this winter's entire class of free agent hitters for whom that's the case.
Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez are too good for the qualifying offer purgatory Kendrys Morales and Stephen Drew endured last year, but there will likely be teams for whom Headley's lack of qualifying offer issues will make him a strong alternative. And, of course, there's no guarantee that Sandoval will be on the market at all — the Giants signed Hunter Pence to an extension near the end of last season, and it's not out of the realm of possibility that they could do the same with Sandoval.
Headley's combination of defensive skill and relative youth, perhaps along with the perception that he still has offensive upside (his .286/.376/.498 2012 season in PETCO Park is too recent to be dismissed completely), make him a good bet to receive a contract of two or perhaps three years. It's also not impossible that he could opt for a one-year deal, hoping to produce at 2012 levels next season before hitting the free agent market again. If the Giants and Brewers fail to retain their current third basemen, Headley could be a possibility for either team. The Tigers or Astros could also make sense.

East Links: Hefner, Roberts, Yankees, Phillies
Mets right-hander Jeremy Hefner received awful news after experiencing discomfort in his third rehab outing last week. Via Adam Rubin of ESPN New York (Twitter link), Hefner has a fracture in his elbow and will have to undergo his second Tommy John operation of the past year. The 28-year-old has spent the past year recovering from TJ and will now likely miss most, if not all of the 2015 campaign as well. MLBTR wishes Hefner the best of luck and a full recovery in the next round of rehab.
Here are some more links from baseball's Eastern divisions…
- Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reports that the Orioles aren't interested in bringing back longtime second baseman Brian Roberts, who was recently released by the Yankees (Twitter link).
- Joel Sherman of the New York Post examines the Yankees' midseason rentals — Stephen Drew, Chase Headley and Brandon McCarthy — and wonders if any of the three will be back with the team in 2015 (and beyond). As Sherman notes, the final months of the season will serve as an audition for each player, and each could have a logical spot on the roster. Drew could replace the retiring Derek Jeter, Headley could handle third base when Alex Rodriguez DHs, and McCarthy can serve as valuable rotation depth given the uncertainty surrounding New York's internal options.
- Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. tells Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com that he's looking for rotation depth following the trade of Roberto Hernandez and the injury to Cliff Lee. That desire led to the claim of Jerome Williams, but it sounds as if the Phils could be on the lookout for other cheap additions that could help them beyond the 2014 season. Salisbury notes that 2014 first-round pick Aaron Nola is not under consideration for a jump to the Majors.
- Within that same piece, Salisbury also speculates that the Tigers and Phillies could reboot their previous trade talks for Jonathan Papelbon due to Joe Nathan's recent struggles and Joakim Soria's injury (he is on the DL with an oblique strain). Amaro tells Salisbury that the two sides haven't talked trade recently, but he does acknowledge that he spoke with the Tigers "particularly about the bullpen." Antonio Bastardo was thought to be a Tigers target at one point, but as Salisbury notes, Bastardo was placed on waivers earlier this month. While no reports surfaced of him being claimed, it's highly unlikely that he would clear, given that he had a mere $600K or so of his 2014 salary remaining at the time he was placed on waivers.
- One more note from Salisbury, as he reports that Amaro said it's "possible" that top prospect Maikel Franco will receive a September call-up. An earlier promotion is unlikely for Franco, per Amaro, but there's little doubt that he's impressed as of late. While Franco struggled with the jump to Triple-A to open the season, he's mashed since July 1, hitting .338/.360/.564 in 139 plate appearances.

Blue Jays Notes: Prospects, Asdrubal, Headley
After going into the All-Star break on a 2-8 slide, the Blue Jays have righted the ship by winning seven of 10 games since the Midsummer Classic. This hot streak has gotten the Jays back into the postseason picture, as they currently hold a one-game lead over the Yankees for the second AL wild card slot. Here's the latest hot stove buzz out of Toronto…
- The Phillies specifically scouted a recent rehab start by Jays southpaw prospect Sean Nolin, Rogers Sportnet's Shi Davidi reports. Nolin was rated as the 97th-best prospect in the sport by Baseball America prior to the 2013 season, and he owns a 3.12 ERA, 7.5 K/9 and 1.62 K/BB rate over 13 Triple-A starts.
- Also from Davidi's piece, the Rangers are one of a few clubs who have been sending more scouts to watch the Jays' short-season Class A team in Vancouver. Righty Miguel Castro, left-hander Jairo Labourt and shortstop Franklin Barreto appear to be drawing the bulk of the scouts' interest.
- Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera is "an option" for the Jays, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports (Twitter link). Cabrera would presumably be a candidate at second base for Toronto since Jose Reyes is locked into the shortstop job; Cabrera saw lots of action at the keystone over the first three years of his career but hasn't seen any action at 2B since 2009. He is a free agent this winter and is thought to be an expendable piece for the Tribe since top prospect Francisco Lindor is on the way.
- The Padres were willing to pay all of the $4MM that was owed to Chase Headley for the rest of the 2014 season as part of a proposed deal that would've sent the third baseman to Toronto, Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun reports. An executive familiar with the negotiations between the Padres and Jays tells Elliott that San Diego was asking for Juan Francisco and two "not big-time prospects" in return. Francisco (.242/.313/.529 with 16 homers in 249 PA) is having a much better season than Headley (.238/.300/.371 with eight homers in 330 PA) and comes with three years of control while Headley is a free agent after this season, though Headley has obviously been the more high-profile player in recent years. San Diego ended up dealing Headley to the Yankees for Yangervis Solarte, Rafael De Paula and all but $1MM of Headley's remaining salary.
- The Blue Jays were one of 28 teams at the Rusney Castillo showcase on Saturday, Shi Davidi tweets, with the Jays sending "multiple people" to check out the Cuban outfielder.

East Notes: Nats, Colon, Rios, Doubront, Headley, Yanks
We just took a look at the Marlins; now here are some notes on the rest of the NL East and their geographical counterparts from the American League:
- The Nationals rank as perhaps the league's quietest contender approaching the trade deadline, in large part because it is difficult to see where the club might reasonably look to upgrade. We've heard previously that the team might target a young shortstop to plug into its pipeline, but one possibility for the MLB roster is a bullpen addition, Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post reports. While the Washington relief corps has been outstanding, and the club lacks apparent roster flexibility, Kilgore says that the Nats are interested in adding depth for the stretch run.
- This is my speculation, but if a new arm is added to the big league club, Washington could potentially stash rookie Aaron Barrett in the minors until rosters expand in September, though he has been quite solid (2.61 ERA with 10.7 K/9 and 4.9 BB/9 in 31 innings). More intriguingly, a pen slot could theoretically be opened if the team was to deal away former starter Ross Detwiler, though that would obviously result in a corresponding loss of depth.
- There have been several reports on Mets starter Bartolo Colon, who is earning $9MM this year and is promised $11MM for 2015. The club is "trying hard" to deal him, according to Danny Knobler (via Twitter), while Newsday's Marc Carig tweets that interest is picking up but the Mets are disinclined to hold onto any of Colon's salary in a deal.
- Moving the 41-year-old won't be easy, writes Joel Sherman of the New York Post, because his future salary is both what New York wants to offload and what other clubs will want to avoid. Meanwhile, Sherman refutes reports suggesting that the Giants have engaged the Mets on Colon (Twitter link), writing that San Francisco would only have interest if it can avoid paying for a significant portion of Colon's 2015 salary. Like Carig, Sherman hears that is not the Mets' preference.
- The Blue Jays have shown interest in bringing back outfielder Alex Rios, currently with the Rangers, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. Toronto shed Rios and his big contract by declining to revoke an August waiver claim back in 2009, but the veteran has turned things around and now comes with only a $14MM team option left for 2015. Of course, there remains some doubt as to whether the Jays would be able to take on the remainder of Rios's $12.5MM salary for the current season.
- Red Sox starter-turned-reliever Felix Doubront is not enjoying his current role with the club and hopes to see more action — in Boston or elsewhere — reports Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe. The 26-year-old lefty has been mentioned before as a trade candidate, though it is not clear whether Boston will be inclined to move him as the club tries to get back in the mix, especially with talk that Jake Peavy could be dealt. Doubront will be eligible for arbitration for the first time next year.
- The Yankees acquired third baseman Chase Headley with the expectation that he will be a two-month rental, GM Brian Cashman told reporters including MLB.com's Bryan Hoch (Twitter link). The deal came together today after about three weeks of discussions, Cashman added.
- Headley will likely not be the last addition for New York, Cashman indicated in further comments, via Jorge Castillo of the Star-Ledger. "I have more work to do," he said. The GM explained that larger moves could be in the offing: "We've got high-end stuff, without a doubt, players that other teams like. And those players would be available, or will be available, in the right circumstances. These are the deals that I can present to you that we were able to conclude, but we're talking much larger type deals, [and] clearly much smaller, incremental upgrades."

Yankees Acquire Chase Headley
The Yankees announced that they have officially acquired Chase Headley from the Padres. The Yankees will send Yangervis Solarte and minor league right-hander Rafael De Paula to the Padres in return for Headley and $1MM.
Headley, a lifetime member of the Padres, is hitting just .229/.296/.355 with seven homers this season, though he's playing outstanding defense at third base, per both UZR/150 (+19.7) and Defensive Runs Saved (+7). Headley is earning $10.535MM in 2014, of which $3.97MM remains. He is eligible for free agency following the season.
The Yankees are just four games out of the division lead in the AL East and two and a half games back of a Wild Card berth, meaning every additional win the team picks up could be crucial. Yankees third basemen are hitting .245/.323/.391 on the season with 14 home runs (which translates to a nearly league-average 98 wRC+). However, much of that is due to what looks to have been an unsustainable hot streak for Solarte early in the season. The 27-year-old Solarte had a scorching hot month of April (fueled by a .349 BABIP), but he's batted just .233/.307/.347 in 200 plate appearances since that time. If nothing else, Headley's glove may provide an extra win over the rest of the season, but the hope is undoubtedly that a move from the pitcher-friendly Petco Park to the hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium will rejuvenate his bat as well.
It's not long ago that Headley looked to be a breakout star. He batted a whopping .286/.376/.498 with 31 homers to go along with elite defense and solid baserunning in 2012, but since that time he's been slowed by a fractured thumb, a calf strain and a herniated disc in his back (for which he received an epidural injection earlier this month). He's hitting .323 with a homer, a triple and four doubles this month, so perhaps the injection helped to ease some of the pain he was experiencing. However, he's yet to walk in July and has struck out 16 times, so his approach at the plate certainly doesn't appear to be what it was in 2012 when he posted a career-best 12.3 percent walk rate.
From a big picture standpoint, the move signifies that the Yankees, in typical fashion, will maintain a dogged pursuit of the postseason. Despite losing CC Sabathia, Ivan Nova and potentially Masahiro Tanaka for the season (with Michael Pineda missing the majority of the year as well), the Yankees feel they have a shot to contend in an abnormally weak AL East. The team has already acquired Brandon McCarthy (in exchange for lefty Vidal Nuno), and it seems likely that GM Brian Cashman will continue to be aggressive as he looks to upgrade his roster.
For the Padres, it's tough to describe the outcome as anything but disappointing. Headley looked to be on the verge of stardom following the 2012 season, and they could likely have netted a king's ransom had they moved him then. Even this offseason, Headley's value coming off a .250/.347/.400 season with excellent defense would have been fairly strong. Now, they'll receive a player whom the Yankees signed to a minor league deal this offseason (Solarte) and a pitcher that ranked 15th in a weak Yankees farm system coming into the year (per Baseball America). At this point, however, it has to be considered a silver lining for the Friars that they weren't able to extend Headley — either with the reported franchise-record deal they were weighing last spring or the three-year, $33-39MM deal they offered over the winter.
Solarte is hitting .254/.337/.381 with the Yankees this season, though much of that production came in the aforementioned April hot streak. The Padres can control him for six years, as he made his big league debut this year, and he's appeared at second base, third base and shortstop this season. Ideally, he could settle into a utility role for San Diego for the next several seasons.
De Paula, 23, has a 4.15 ERA with 10.5 K/9 and 3.8 BB/9 in 89 innings (17 starts, three relief appearances) at Class-A Advanced Tampa this season. Baseball America noted in its scouting report that De Paula's mid- to upper-90s fastball was enough to dominate hitters in Low Class A, but he struggled with last year's debut in High-A Tampa due to an inability to throw his breaking pitches for strikes. He's made some strides in his command this year, averaging fewer walks. BA noted that if he could learn to command either his slider or changeup, that would be enough to pair with his plus fastball to project as a big league reliever, but if he could learn to command both, he could start in the bigs.
De Paula doesn't come without personal baggage, as BA's Ben Badler notes (on Twitter). Badler says De Paula "will be a big leaguer," but points out that he's used multiple falsified identities and dates of birth in his road to professional baseball.
Jack Curry of the YES Network first tweeted that the two sides were close to a deal. Jon Heyman of CBS Sports first reported the trade was done and added the terms shortly thereafter (Twitter links).

West Notes: Padres, Headley, Angels, Street
The Padres can control Tyson Ross for another three seasons, but to justify the rising cost, they'll need more games like the gem he delivered yesterday, writes Dennis Lin of U-T San Diego. Through 21 starts this season, the All-Star owns a 2.70 ERA with 8.7 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9. Here's more out of the Western divisions..
- Padres assistant GM A.J. Hinch told Jim Bowden of SiriusXM (on Twitter) that "Chase Headley is free agent at the end of the year, so we are acting accordingly." Hinch also indicated that several teams are interested in the third baseman.
- Angels GM Jerry Dipoto told Jim Bowden of SiriusXM (via Twitter) that he started working on the Huston Street deal right after the June draft about six weeks ago.
- Dipoto went on to add that the Angels are not likely to do any more deals this month unless there is an injury to a starter (link). However, the Halos will remain in "feeler mode" just in case.
- The Astros have a major perception problem, writes ESPN.com's Buster Olney (Insider sub. req'd). Between the Brady Aiken situation, their handling of George Springer, and the widespread belief that they tanked the 2013 season, many are questioning Houston's game plan.

Padres Notes: Benoit, Kennedy, Headley, Cashner
Following the Padres' trade of Huston Street to the Angels last night, here's the latest out of San Diego.
- The Padres' trade of Street shows about what they'll expect in return for Joaquin Benoit, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports writes (Twitter links). Since most teams would not want Benoit to be their closer, though, the price would have to be somewhat lower than it was for Street.
- The Pirates and Royals both scouted starting pitcher Ian Kennedy last night, Rosenthal tweets. The Pirates are looking for starters and relievers, Rosenthal notes.
- The Blue Jays are part of an "ongoing dialogue" regarding Chase Headley, Rosenthal's colleague Jon Morosi tweets. The Jays have shown interest in Headley in the past.
- The Padres are likely to trade outfielder Chris Denorfia, Morosi tweets. Denorfia, like Headley, is a free agent this coming offseason, so it makes sense that the Padres could have interest in trading them both.
- In case you missed it from the Yankees notes post, Andy Martino of New York Daily News reports that the Padres are not likely to trade Andrew Cashner, who was terrific this season before going on the disabled list with a shoulder injury. Cashner is not eligible for free agency until after the 2016 season.

Quick Hits: Headley, Russell, Cubs, Rockies, McCarthy
The Blue Jays and Padres continue to discuss a Chase Headley trade, Jon Morosi of FOX Sports tweets. His colleague Ken Rosenthal adds that some within the Jays organization think that the team's most acute need is a hitter, rather than a starting pitcher. In late June, Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune reported that the Blue Jays had interest in Headley and that the Padres would be willing to deal him. Here are more notes from around baseball.
- The Cubs dealt Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel early in the trading season, and for a package based around a position player, because Addison Russell was too good to pass on, David Haugh of the Chicago Tribune writes. "There was no pitcher available even close to the caliber of player that Addison Russell is," says team president Theo Epstein.
- The Cubs now have a top-notch collection of hitting prospects, but don't have nearly as much pitching. They believe, however, that they can use that to their advantage, as Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. It's hard to find hitters in today's low-offense environment, and the Cubs have plenty of them. "If you look at the way the game is going, the batter-pitcher dynamic has shifted in recent years dramatically in favor of the pitcher," says Epstein. "So there are more effective pitchers out there right now than there are position players." The Cubs also feel they can compensate for their lack of pitching by acquiring a top-of-the-rotation starter within the next couple of years. Epstein also seems to allude to the possibility that the Cubs will make trades for pitching in the future.
- A pair of Rockies are making their 2014 debuts with rookie-level Grand Junction, Patti Arnold of the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reports (Twitter links). Former Rockies closer Rafael Betancourt, who's working his way back from an elbow injury, pitched a scoreless inning today, striking out one and walking one. Also, Kyle Freeland, the No. 8 overall pick in this year's draft, will make his pro debut on Wednesday.
- The Diamondbacks placed now-Yankees pitcher Brandon McCarthy on waivers six to eight weeks ago, Joel Sherman of the New York Post tweets. That means anyone could have claimed him and assumed the remainder of his $9MM salary for 2014. No one bit.
- Red Sox first-round pick Michael Kopech will be represented by MVP Sports Group, MLB Daily Dish's Chris Cotillo tweets.

Stayed here for 2 nights on business last week and although slightly out of Rotherham this hotel is clean and comfortable. Food at the brasserie was also good and reasonably priced, which is good as there isn't much in the locality. Would stay here again, good value. less
My daughter and I just stayed here for three nights and we loved it. Our twin room was a very pleasant surprise, it couldn't have been any cleaner or more comfortable. The service from reception, the restaurant and room service was faultless, every member of staff we met were friendly, helpful and professional. Both receptionists were lovely and nothing was too much trouble for them. Everywhere was clean and warm and the food was delicious, plentiful and reasonably priced, we enjoyed our late evening snacks while chilling in front of the TV especially as all we had to do was pick up the phone to order it from room service. After recently suffering a second stroke this break was just what I needed. I would definitely stay here again. less
Mum and I stayed overnight here this weekend. Mum is wheelchair-bound and in a lot of pain so she gets very anxious about being away from home. We were there for a relative's birthday lunch. I have emailed to thank all staff, and particularly the gentleman running the restaurant, for making our stay as easy and relaxing as it could possibly have been. From opening doors to making sure Mum knew she was being looked after in the restaurant - the whole stay was a pleasure and the food was lovely. less
The accommodation here is quite reasonable and pretty much what you would expect from a Best Western. The food however was above average. For a long time, this was solely a restaurant and this shows with the quality of cuisine.
We very much enjoyed our stay here and will be back on our next journey up North. less
great hotel very clean and comfy beds would stay again. All the staff were very helpful and it was a good atmosphere .food prices were good but I didn't try the menu as I was at a wedding but the food at the wedding was excellent less

Hardline Introduction!
Thought I would offer a quick starter's guide for those picking up Hardline over the next few days. Just some tips & suggestions that I picked up on over roughly 13 hours of MP gameplay, which has me at level 34 I believe. Hope some of you guys find it helpful
FIRST - Save your money. Everything you do in-game that earns you XP, also earns you money (kills, assists, objective play, healing, reviving, repairing, etc). All starter weapons are pretty decent out of the gate, meaning you don't need to rush to purchase any other weapons. Your focus should be buying some of the strongest weapons that your particular favorite class has to offer. I have a few suggestions below on what you should be buying. I highly recommend focusing on the medic / operative class first, but have provided suggestions on all kits.
MEDICS / OPERATIVES - Should be focusing on purchasing either one of the [b]M16A3 or the M416[/b]. Both are currently some of the best guns in the game, and are must-haves early. The earlier you purchase these weapons, the better off you'll be. I'll include footage below showing gameplay of both weapons, so you can get an idea of thing like fire rate, recoil, TTK, damage, reload times, etc so you can make the decision you need.
M16A3 GAMEPLAY (I personally recommend this weapon as your 1st purchase)
M416 GAMEPLAY (also a very good option for the operative class)
ENGINEERS / MECHANICS - The starter SMG, the MP5K, has an already unlocked suppressor making it a very nice starter weapon. But should you require something more, focus on the P90. The P90 has an excellent 50 bullets per magazine, has minimal recoil at short-to-medium range, a pretty high fire rate, and a devastating hip fire spread, making it a really useful weapon (and in all honesty, one you should try and purchase if you find yourself playing this class a lot early).
SUPPORT / ENFORCERS - The starting shotgun, the 870, packs a real punch. The other shotguns are nice too, including the Spaz, but I personally wouldn't recommend wasting money beyond the 870 unless you are a very dedicated shotgun player. The 870 is also available as both a cop and a criminal. If you aren't a fan of shotguns, then the Scar-H battle rifle is a nice choice. High recoil, but very high damage output (might be the highest in the game).
The 870 shotgun is a very good starter weapon that you should stick with for the support class
RECON / PROFESSIONAL - The SNIPING class. The starter sniper rifle, the SCOUT ELITE, is a bit low on the damage side of things, but MORE than makes up for it by the fact that it has both: a) a ridiculously high fire rate, and b) an already unlocked straight pull bolt, meaning you'll be able to pull off quick shots really easily. It fires fast, almost like a DMR (should definitely be getting a nerf), which means if you can't land a headshot, you'll be able to land two body shots very easiy. Great choice to start off with. No need to go experimenting with anything else, including the marksman rifles.
SECOND - What game modes should I be playing? Blood Money. Not only is Bloody Money a great, intense game mode, but it has several added benefits; for one, it lets you learn the maps in a more natural way. It also really rewards you with MONEY if you play the objective - focus on taking money to your vault. Finally, it's a great game mode to rack up kills; flank the enemy, learn common choke points, and procure power positions on the map, andyou should be picking up close to 20+ kills every single time you play this mode. AND you get MONEY for those kills too, and MONEY is the name of the game. Blood Money is great at rewarding you with MONEY. Get the hint? MONEY!
THIRD - Be patient and adjust. This is the fastest moving, fastest killing, and fastest dying Battlefield game we've experienced in the series so far. So expect there to be an adjustment. Even if you are a fantastic player, expect to have some adjustment pains as you come to terms with what Hardline has to offer. But make sure you hop into squads with Bastards, have fun with it, take a deep breath, and don't get annoyed or frustrated. Expect to go through phases where you die a lot - it's apart of the process. Don't let it put you down.
It took me roughly 8 hours to really get comfortable with Hardline (incidentally, around the same time I unlocked the M16). So you will adjust. Just give it time.
FINALLY - Keep an open mind. Seriously. Don't take the experience too seriously. It's a game, and in Hardline, Visceral have delivered an extremely fun game. So enjoy it. Whether Hardline is your cup or tea or not, give it a shot and recognize many of the solid mechanics & features they've added to the series.
PS - DON'T PLAY WITH TRYAA - Not until he gets Hardline ;)
Hope you guys found this informative or helpful. Enjoy, and I'll see you guys out on the Battlefield.

Lack of fuel foils last-minute scheme
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said in a CNN interview the city should have been told earlier. "Even though this may or may not have been spontaneous, for all we know there could be other conspirators out there, and the city should have been alerted so it could go into its defensive mode," he said.
Asked about the delay, Bloomberg said: "There's no reason to think the FBI hides anything. The FBI does what they think is appropriate at the time, and you'll have to ask them what they found and what the actual details of the interrogation were. We were not there."
Kelly, citing the interrogations, said that four days after the Boston bombing, the Tsarnaev brothers "planned to travel to Manhattan to detonate their remaining explosives in Times Square."
"They discussed this while driving around in a Mercedes SUV that they hijacked after they shot and killed the officer at MIT," the police commissioner said. "That plan, however, fell apart when they realized that the vehicle they hijacked was low on gas and ordered the driver to stop at a nearby gas station."
A day earlier, Kelly said that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had talked about coming to New York "to party" after the attack and that there wasn't evidence of a plot against the city. But Kelly said a later interview with the suspect turned up the information.
"He was a lot more lucid and gave more detail in the second interrogation," Kelly said.
Kelly said there was no evidence New York was still a target. But in a show of force, police cruisers with blinking red lights were lined up in the middle of Times Square on Thursday afternoon, and uniformed officers stood shoulder to shoulder.
Meanwhile, the Tsarnaev brothers' father said he's leaving Russia for the United States in the next day or two, but their mother said she was still thinking it over.
Anzor Tsarnaev has expressed a desire to go to the U.S. to find out what happened with his sons, defend the hospitalized son and, if possible, bring the older son's body back to Russia for burial.
Their mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, charged with shoplifting in the U.S. last summer, said she has been assured by lawyers she wouldn't be arrested, but was deciding whether to go.

Bringing a dSLR can be wonderful or a cumbersome experience at a theme park depending on a multitude of factors. What is your preference, what tips do you have to make the experience enjoyable? Also, what type of lenses/ filters do you prefer to carry with you and why? And for specific attractions, where do you prefer to stand or sit?
Of course, depending on what your goal is for the day, your set up will differ. I'd like to hear everyone's opinions and advice!
Personally, I've always only carried a 50mm and a 70-300, skipping the kit lens only because my 50mm is much faster... however, am I missing out on really wide angle shots? I prefer to have a wide enough variety of focal lengths to get a decent variety of shots. I also make sure I bring an external flash as the pop-up flash isn't worth using IMHO. Of course, I don't use the flash on any attraction... it's mainly for people shots! And I never bring a tripod as it would be too awkward for me.
