       Jury to deliberate in Seaford man's murder trial
         Jury deliberations are expected to begin
the case of a Seaford man charged with killing his 3-year-old
daughter in 2010.
         Jason Galloway is charged with murder by abuse, which carries a
sentence of 15 years to life in prison.   Deliberations are set to
begin on Thursday.
         Prosecutors say the 32-year-old beat his daughter, Marissa, to
death when her crying interrupted his video game.   He is accused of
either hitting her in the head or slamming her head against a hard
surface.
         Defense attorneys for Galloway said Wednesday in closing
arguments that prosecutors were trying to convict Galloway on a
theory.
         The News Journal of Wilmington reports that jurors met for about
15 minutes after closing arguments and agreed to return the next

       Salazar to make offshore wind announcement
         Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is heading to
Baltimore to announce what department officials say is a major step
toward developing wind energy off the coasts of Maryland, Delaware,
Virginia, and New Jersey.
         Details of Thursday's announcement were not released, but
Salazar said in a speech to the American Wind Energy Association in
October that the agency had nearly completed environmental impact
assessments for the nation's second offshore wind power lease.
Those plans hit a snag late last year when NRG Energy said it had
ended a contract with Delmarva Power because of financing problems
at its Bluewater Wind subsidiary.
         The Mid-Atlantic lease proposal follows the Cape Wind project in
Massachusetts that was given the go-ahead in 2010 after years of
federal review.   That project is still in development.
