GREEN CITY, Mo. - On Jan. 31 in a quarterfinal game against Schuyler County, Green City senior Emily Sorenson scored her 1,000th career point in a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Lady Rams.
Sorenson came into the game needing 13 points to reach the mark. She led the Lady Gophers with 22.
"I was really excited. I didn't know I scored my 1,000th point until I got home and my dad told me. I was very excited, but I was disappointed that we had lost," said Sorenson.
Emily had played her entire career with her dad, Wade Sorenson, as her head coach.
"I am really proud of her. It's more difficult for a girl to score 1,000 than a boy. So we are definitely proud of her," said Wade.
Emily feels that playing for her dad has allowed her to accomplish this goal and many other things in her career that she wouldn't otherwise been able to do.
"I love playing for my dad. We don't get along all the time and it can be difficult sometimes, but he has made me into the player I am and I am very thankful for that," said Emily.
"I have just constantly pushed her to be the best she can be. I don't give her a lot of time to slack off, because she knows if she does, she will be the first one I get on," said Wade.
Emily has always wanted to achieve the mark, but she wasn't aware when it happened.
"When I found out it was amazing. This was my goal for my high school career, and having it come as surprise kind of makes it better," said Emily.
Playing for a parent adds elements that most high school players don't have to deal with.
"It's like a double-edge sword playing for your dad. It can be tough on a kid, but she has handled it fairly well," said Wade.
"He has always pushed me and has never gave up on me and that's really important to me," said Sorenson.
Emily got on to the floor as a freshman and was able to tally just over 100 points as a ninth grader. Since then she has averaged just over 12 points a game, which has enabled her to reach the mark.

W onder what Santa would look like in a Speedo?
Me too.
Let's close our eyes and ponder. Look at that portly belly shaking like a bowl full of delirium tremens.
Wonder what a bunch of Santas would look like in Speedos?
Close those eyes again.
We need a shot. And to be held.
On Saturday at Mead Street Station, 3625 W. 32nd Ave., Denver, we can see (or join in) with our virgin eyes for the Denver Santa Speedo Dash.
Mead Street Station -- an affordable (and tasty) live music bar nestled in the highbrow Highlands Square -- is hosting a mile run for those who have no qualms about bouncing their balls around the neighborhood in spandex nut huggers.
Of course, you don't have to wear a Speedo, but you should join the crew by throwing on skimpy swimwear and accessorizing with lights, tinsel, beards, ornaments, jingle bells, a satchel of toys, fat guts and such.
Registration is $35 -- but before you whine -- proceeds will benefit the Life Is Better Rescue, an all-breed, all-species animal rescue that saves animals from shelter euthanization. The rescue snatches up pets from death row and finds the fuzzy buddies a new family. Aw. My tail is wagging.
Check-in is at 12:30 p.m., the run is at 1 p.m. and participants get a free Santa hat, a pre-race Mrs. Claus shot, a post-race beer and food by Mead Street. (Which is delish. Not "nom." That word is stupid.)
If Rudolph makes it snow, let's hope that when you spoon that hot girl belly-up to the bar, you've brushed up on shrinkage speak.

Crude comedy
Deck Comedy Works with piss and grits,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be dicks,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our ugly hipster holiday sweaters...
That's enough.
Comedy Works, 1226 15th St., Denver, is hosting Chuck Roy's Naughty (Dirty) Christmas Show -- a raunchy show featuring Denver's top comedians -- without a filter.
Word on the snow-less street is, this is pretty damn vulgar. (I like your moves.) Beware: It can be offensive and people have walked out in the past. (I like your style.) Plus, the show has sold out two years in a row, so snag tickets soon. (Call me.)
If you haven't been to Comedy Works yet, go. The underground gem in downtown Denver has been hailed by tons of uber-famous comedians as the venue being one of their favorite places to perform. It's intimate, dark and delicious. This show is an affordable $12, so now's your chance.
And, if you haven't had the pleasure of watching Chuck Roy (host of "Film on the Rocks") perform, do it. He's a funny fuck.
And I'm a lady.

SALEM – If only you could rev up the sleek, robin's egg blue Avanti Studebaker parked in the lobby of the Peabody Essex Museum and cruise through the new exhibit, "California Design, 1930-65: Living in a Modern Way.''
That'd be a cool way to revisit the not-so-distant Golden State of futuristic architecture and modernist furniture, kidney-shaped swimming pools and Chet Baker playing jazz on the radio.
Really, it's just as much fun to wander through the Special Exhibitions Gallery where the walls have been replaced with glass partitions like those stilt houses with spacious patios overlooking the starlit desert.
Organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and making its only East Coast stop in Salem, this visually dazzling exhibit represents the first major study of modern California Design.
Visitors will see furniture, textiles, fashion, classic vehicles like the Avanti and iconic objects by legendary designers Charles and Bernice "Ray'' Eames, Richard Neutra and R.M. Schindler.
The era's exemplary creative couple, the Eameses invested utilitarian elegance in furniture, fine art and film, graphic design and their namesake Eames House, built on a cliff overlooking the Pacific and constructed entirely of pre-fab steel parts intended for industrial use.
For anyone born right after World War II, viewing this show is a time trip through an era when – in Wallace Stegner's words - "California is America, only more so.''
By showcasing more than 250 mid-century modern design objects, it evokes a specific place, time and a California state-of-mind where everything was new and shiny and cooler than anywhere else.
Digging deeper than surface glitter, "California Design'' is a meticulously researched examination of how postwar American prosperity provided a wealth of opportunities for innovative, often émigré artists to create a bold, new aesthetic that ended up shaping national tastes.
While the show has its roots in the Depression, classic "California Design'' seems to have been born in the fortuitous confluence of the still available open spaces that encouraged new kinds of architecture, the dual influence of Spanish and Asian styles and a mobile population receptive to change.
Sometimes the humblest object reveal the most. An aluminum and chrome-plated ice gun from 1935 to shoot crushed ice into a waiting glass reveals designers experimenting with the aerodynamic shapes that were becoming fashionable in automobile and airplane design.
As adapted for the PEM by Austen Barron Bailly, the museum's first curator of American Art, it's a spacious romp through 35 years of a style revolution when, she said, "The goal was to provide well-designed, accessible and affordable modern homes and furnishings to millions of Californians and those around the country who craved them.''
"The designers who embraced California modern ideals wanted to make everyday life beautiful and comfortable,'' she said. "They responded to California's environment and pioneered new ways to meld craft production with industrial manufacturing.''
Organized into four thematic sections – "Shaping," "Making," "Living" and "Selling" – this fun and accessible show reveals the origins of modern California Design through its materials and makers and provides movie clips, magazines, autos and the first Barbie and Ken dolls to show how its look and lifestyle spread around the world.
Early in the exhibit's "Making" section, visitors will see the impact of World War II utilitarian technology in the evocatively-named Swoon Suit, a woman's bathing suit from 1942 that satisfied government restrictions on rubber use, made by a company that manufactured parachutes.
Bailly observed the heyday of California's inspired design ended around 1965 about the time events like the Watts riots and the Free Speech Movement protests at the University of California, Berkley, tarnished the state's golden image and signaled the era's coming end.
The seeds for its decline had been sown as early as the late 1950s when Peter Voulkos "broke the conventions of the designer-craftsman movement'' to consider his ceramic work fine art and not a functional craft.
One of the age's final icons visitors will see is John Van Hamersveld's color-saturated poster for the 1963 movie, "The Endless Summer.''
While the poster's fluorescent sunset sent a generation of surfer dudes chasing the next horizon, it might suggest that "California Design'' also had its day in the sun but never went away.

text: David Price is best known for being a Cy Young-caliber pitcher, but it turns out he's a pretty good salesman, too.Price did his best to convince the Rays that his most recent rehab start should also be his last one before rejoining the team. On Wednesday night, Price pitched five shutout innings for High-A Charlotte, allowing two hits while striking out eight. And he showed no lingering effects of the left triceps injury that's kept him on the shelf since May 15, at times touching 94 miles per hour on the radar gun.After the game, he chose to let his performance do the talking."I guess whatever I did out there today is going to be my lobbying," Price told the Tampa Tribune in regards to his chances of rejoining the Rays. "If that's not enough, I guess I'll have to throw another one."Click here for the latest MLB Player News, and follow @Nate_Grimm and @Rotoworld_BB on Twitter while you're at it.Before the injury, his performance told a different story. The three-time All-Star was just 1-4 with a 5.24 ERA in nine starts this season before sustaining the injury. He was on pace to give up more hits than innings pitched for the first time in his career, he'd already allowed eight home runs in his starts -- for reference, Price allowed only 16 homers over 31 starts in 2012 -- and he was striking out the lowest percentage of batters faced since 2009.The root of the problems seemed to stem from a drop in velocity this season, which in turn caused his fastball to go from being a plus pitch to one that was actually a negative through nine starts. Some unlucky circumstances were also in play, but everything leads back to the fastball. And even a minor issue with a muscle in the pitching arm could have led to Price's early issues.Regardless of the cause of his struggles, the fact that he looks and feels healthy now is cause for optimism going forward. If he returns next week as is likely, I'm buying a return to form for the reigning AL Cy Young winner.A good salesman can do that.If You See JordanOn Wednesday it was announced that Taylor Jordan was chosen to participate in MLB's Futures Game.On Thursday it was decided the future is now.Jordan may not get to participate in the All-Star break festivities because he could instead be preparing for another start with the Nationals. Jordan, 24, will be called up by the club before Saturday's game in time to make his first major league start against the Mets.Jordan's meteoric rise through the Nationals' system is reminiscent of Dan Straily's 2012 season. The right-hander began the year ranked No. 17 among Nationals prospects by MLB.com and actually started the season with High-A Potomac. After six starts he was promoted to Double-A Harrisburg, where he is 7-0 with a 0.83 ERA in 54 innings.Jordan features a low-to-mid 90s fastball and two good breaking pitches, and he'll be backed by one of the best bullpens in baseball. Couple that with the fact that he's facing a pedestrian Mets offense and Jordan makes for a worthwhile streaming option in deeper mixed leagues at the very least. He'll decide his own fate from there.Trade Winds BlowingRicky Nolasco looks primed to be the first domino to fall in this year's trade deadline feeding frenzy.The Dodgers appear to be the frontrunner for the right-hander's services, with the Padres and Giants close behind. The Orioles, Rockies and Rangers have also been linked to Nolasco in some capacity.No matter where he ends up, getting out of south Florida is a no-lose proposition for Nolasco and his owners. The 30-year-old is actually having a decent season for the Marlins, posting a 3.68 ERA with peripherals that suggest it's no fluke. But because he plays for the Marlins, he also carries a 4-7 record in 16 starts.Any of the three NL West teams still in play would offer Nolasco an opportunity to secure more wins while keeping his numbers about the same, as all three play in stadiums that fall in the bottom half of ESPN's Park Factors with regards to runs scored.With a deal seemingly imminent -- the where still to be decided -- Nolasco is a prospective add in deeper mixed leagues and a must-own in NL-only if he isn't already.National League Quick Hits: Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Carl Crawford (hamstring) is "getting closer" to a rehab assignment. Crawford hasn't played since June 1 ... Troy Tulowitzki (rib) has begun light throwing. He's still on schedule to return shortly after the All-Star break ... Josh Beckett (arm) began playing catch on Wednesday, the first work he's done since being shut down a month ago. He's still hopeful he can return to pitch this season ... Adam Eaton (elbow) resumed his minor league rehab assignment on Wednesday. It was his first game since suffering a setback in his recovery on May 20 ... Drew Pomeranz will take Juan Nicasio's spot in the Rockies' rotation. Nicasio had a 5.31 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 16 starts ... Juan Francisco hit a home run in his third straight game on Thursday. He also struck out three times in four at-bats ... Ted Lilly (neck) could begin a rehab assignment this weekend. There's still a chance he returns before the All-Star break ... Mike Adams will not undergo shoulder surgery to repair two tears in his right labrum and one in his rotator cuff. Even with rest, Adams likely won't be back until much later this season.American League Quick Hits: An MRI of Clay Buchholz's right shoulder showed inflammation of the bursa sac. Although the lack of structural damage is promising, he won't even begin throwing until the inflammation subsides ... Buchholz's teammate Jon Lester left his start Thursday with a jammed right hip. The Red Sox are hopeful he won't miss a start due to the injury ... Anibal Sanchez (shoulder) completed a three-inning simulated game on Thursday. He is expected to make a minor league rehab start on Monday ... Melky Cabrera landed on the disabled list with left knee tendinitis. Fan and player favorite Munenori Kawasaki was recalled to take his roster spot ... Jose Valverde accepted his assignment to Triple-A Toledo. The move came just days after the Tigers finally accepted reality ... Brian Roberts (hamstring) is expected to return to the Orioles on Sunday. The team is hurting for a second baseman, so Roberts will be handed the starting role upon his return ... Dylan Bundy underwent successful Tommy John surgery. The recovery process for the injury is generally around a year for pitchers ... Tommy Hanson was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right forearm strain. He sustained the injury shortly before his scheduled Wednesday start ... Nolan Reimold (hamstring) will likely be activated from the disabled list next week. He hasn't played since May 11 ... Derek Holland threw a 92-pitch, complete-game shutout in Yankee Stadium.

Two recently confirmed cases of Chronic Wasting Disease found on a deer farm located in New Oxford has raised some concern statewide as hunters prepare for Pennsylvania's firearms season that opens Monday.
The disease, which attacks the animal's brain, is fatal in deer, elk and moose, but there is no evidence that it can be transmitted to humans.
According to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, CWD has not been found in wild whitetail deer populations anywhere in the state. However, in response to the positive cases found among the same captive herd in Adams County, the PGC has issued an executive order to establish a Disease Management Area (DMA) in portions of Adams and York counties.
As per the PGC website, those intending to hunt within the boundaries of the DMA will need to follow specific regulations in order to cooperate with the agency's aggressive approach toward the issue.
First, all hunter-harvested deer during the two-week firearms season (Nov. 26-Dec. 8) within the DMA are required to be taken to a mandatory check station for examination. For convenience, all cooperating processors located in the DMA will serve as check stations. The Game Commission will assume the cost of all conducted testing.
Hunters are also prohibited from transporting 'high-risk' body parts outside of the DMA, including segments of the deer's head and spinal column.
The use of urine-based attractants when in the field has also been banned as part of the executive order.
For more information about boundaries, guidelines and check stations, hunters should visit the PGC website at www.pgc.state.pa.us
The Game Commission is not requiring sportsmen hunting outside of the DMA to take any additional precautions regarding CWD during the state's upcoming rifle season.
The first confirmed case of CWD was found by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture at the New Oxford farm in October with the second infected deer being discovered two weeks ago at the same location.
Aside from the Adams County site, 27 additional farms in 16 counties thought to be associated with the positive findings have been quarantined by the agriculture department, meaning deer cannot move on or off the properties.
Pennsylvania was the 23rd state with a confirmed case of CWD, which has no known method of treatment.
Since 1998, the state's agriculture department and Game Commission have annually conducted a vast monitoring program for signs of the disease, with all deer testing negative prior to October.

"I am grateful to learn from their mistakes, because I am not injecting (expletive) into my face," the 45-year-old star of "Friends" and "Horrible Bosses 2" told Yahoo! Beauty's Bobbi Brown.
Hmm, whose bad nip-tuck jobs could Aniston be thinking of? Any thoughts?
Aniston says she has other reasons to avoid the needle.
Her future husband, Justin Theroux, is fiercely opposed to the idea. "I also have a fiance, who will put a gun to my head if I touch my face in any way," she said.
While Aniston expresses a positive outlook on aging, she's just like the rest of us non-Hollywood types in that she worries about her weight. Yes, she said, aging makes it hard to keep to her "comfortable weight" of 110 to 113 pounds.
"These days, if I was being super picky, I would love to drop 5 pounds," she admitted.

Polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday as Pottawatomie County voters decide school board races in several districts — Shawnee, Earlsboro, Pleasant Grove and Maud.
Vying for the Shawnee Office No. 5 seat, a five-year term, are Judy Chance and Gerry L. Pfeil.
In Earlsboro, Phyllis Crosswell and Tracey Poe are in the race for the Office No. 3 seat, a five-year term.
In Maud, there are three candidates in the race for Office No. 3, a five-year term. Amy Bassett, Scott Bruno and DeCarla Wallgren are the candidates in that race.
Those in the Pleasant Grove school district will decide between Jerry Skaggs and Timothy J. Lawrence for the Office No. 1 seat, a five-year term.
Voters who are in the Konawa school district also will choose a school board member for the Office No. 3 seat. Those candidates are Jon Tarver, Katie Akerman, Tammie Tooley and Bobby L. Hatter.
A few Pottawatomie County voters also may vote in nearby school board elections involving other counties, including those living in the Meeker and Harrah districts.
On Tuesday, Pottawatomie County Election Board Secretary Diana Knight urges voters to take their Voter Identification Cards to the polls with them.
"Your Voter Identification Card can help Precinct Officials find your name in the Precinct Registry and it may also help them resolve the problem if you are not listed in the Precinct," she said.
Voters who are not found in the Precinct Registry, or voters who disagree with the information shown in the Registry, may need to cast a provisional ballot. A provisional ballot is sealed in a special envelope and counted after election day if the voter's information can be verified by the County Election Board.

Distance: The walk is about one mile, one-way
Difficulty: Easy and wheelchair accessible
Fees: $15 adults; $7.50 children
Hours: Daily, except for major holidays; 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (winter), 9 a.m. to sunset (summer). Feeding days are Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays starting around 10 a.m.
Access: Drive east on Colo. 52 to Hudson. Continue four miles; turn south on Road 53; follow signs for three miles to the sanctuary. A map and additional information are available at WildAnimalSanctuary.org.
Chloe and Jake, black leopard infants, were found in an air-conditioning duct when "Tiger Rescue" in California was shut down for animal abuse.
Aslyn, a serval cat wedding gift, became jealous and dangerous when a human baby arrived.
Eight African lions were kept in a 5-foot-by-8-foot steel and concrete cage in Bolivia until the government closed the circus. Campeon, one of the male lions, suffered permanent stunting of his legs.
The Wild Animal Sanctuary near Keenesburg has rescued and rehabilitated these creatures and hundreds more. Some animals were confiscated by government agencies from abusive or illegal facilities. Others were kept as exotic pets until they became a problem.
It's illegal to keep such pets in most states, but 4,000 tigers are kept as pets in Texas alone -- more tigers than exist in the wild throughout the world, according to the sanctuary's brochure.
Pat Craig founded the nonprofit sanctuary in 1980 at his family farm outside Boulder. He now directs a 720-acre enclave about 50 miles east of Boulder where more than 300 large carnivores plus many smaller creatures roam and romp in large habitat areas.
An elevated walkway extends above the enclosures, allowing intimate views of the animals while protecting them from stress. The walkway is strong enough to support the weight of 1,000 elephants, so you are unlikely to tumble into the enclosures.
Your wildlife walk begins with a brief orientation at the sanctuary's south entrance. It was hard to leave the first compound where we watched purring African servals delicately and affectionately "whiskering" each other's faces. As we walked up the ramp, we marveled at tigers snoozing and playing below us. In summer, pools and waterfalls enhance their playground.
Newly arrived animals are kept in receiving areas, like the tiger roundhouse. After they become socialized, they are released into species-specific habitats where black bears, grizzlies, lions and wolves play on "jungle gyms" and other features. Smaller enclosures house foxes, bobcats, lynx and similar-sized animals, and distant pastures contain alpacas and a camel.
All along the walkway, signs tell the stories of the animals -- most of them with happy endings. Campeon, for instance, is accepted by his pride and nuzzled by his sisters in spite of his misshapen body.
On reaching the north end of the walkway, retrace your route. On your return, you're likely to see different behaviors or an animal emerging from a den where it had been invisible before. Observation decks contain chairs and tables where you can enjoy a picnic while listening to wolves howl and lions roar.
Although we went to the sanctuary to see exotic wild animals, we were also enthralled by native hawks wheeling in the sky above us. We watched rough-legged and ferruginous hawks and northern harriers -- all declining species -- as well as red-tailed hawks and kestrels.
In winter, the bears are hibernating and the landscape is a bit bleak, but crowds are sparse. We'll come again in spring when the pools are filled with water and the grass is green.

Today, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift was confirmed for US console release. This is great news for fighting game fans. The original BlazBlue had a good number of balance issues and some of the systems weren't great. BB:CS is re-tooled and re-balanced along with new characters.
While we only have a summer 2010 release date to go by, this should be good for when the release hype from Super Street Fighter IV dies down. Too bad BlazBlue was bumped off of the event list at EVO2K10. Oh well.

On Jan. 28, the Cavalier's coach Mark DelPercio will present a new documentary, Head Games, to his team and their parents, emphasizing the latest reports on head trauma and concussions.
Middletown High School's football team may be unstoppable on the field, but that doesn't make them immune to concussions.
On Jan. 28, the Cavalier's coach Mark DelPercio will present a new documentary, Head Games, to his team and their parents, emphasizing the latest reports on head trauma and concussions.
In the 2010-2011 school year, Middletown High School reported between 10 and 15 athlete concussions, with about a third being attributed to football.
Nearly 30 athletes at the Appoquinimink High School suffered from concussions that same year.
Head Games is an award-winning documentary about the concussion crisis in sports.
"The Appoquinimink School District will be promoting the event to all their families," said spokeswoman Lilian Miles. "Coaches from every sport at the school will be encouraging their players' families to attend."
Members of the community are also invited to view the film for free and participate in discussion with concussion expert Dr. Kathleen O'Brien, who works at Nemours/ A.I. duPont Hospital for Children.
The Cavaliers ended their 2011 season with a 12-0 record, with their star quarter back Darius Wade and split end Chris Godwin both being courted by top college football teams.
They are also the state champions.
The film being shown later this month is by Steve James, director of Hoop Dreams.
The movie follows former college defensive lineman and pro wrestler Chris Nowinski, who has become an expert on athletes' brain injuries. Nowinski now helps run the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy at Boston University.
"The research has changed the way I look at the games," DelPercio said. "I'm much more aware of anything that looks like it could produce a concussion."
He said the next step is to make sure players and their parents understand what's at stake.
In the film, Nowinski and his colleagues explain the science behind concussive brain injuries, focusing on three sports – football, hockey, and women's soccer.
"We don't want any young athlete placed in a competitive situation when they're not 100 percent," DelPercio said. "That's why the state has established new rules and regulations that guide decision making in interscholastic sports."
"It includes relevant information about brain trauma, advice on how to better deal with concussions at all levels, and some of the tragic sports stories that have now been determined to be due to concussions," Miles said.

Acceptance?October 23, 2011 at 4:23 pm | Posted in arthrits, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, joint pai, Me, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 4 Comments
Tags: acceptance, aches, arthritis, flare, flare-up, joint pain, knee, neck pain, normality, R.A., RA, rhematoid arthritis, rheumatoid, Rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), rheumatology, stiffness, tiredness
I've been thinking a lot lately (although writing very little!) about what 'acceptance' of RA means, and also about redefining my idea of 'normal'. I hadn't managed, and still haven't managed in fact, to get my thoughts into words, but I think this afternoon I came as close to 'acceptance' as perhaps I ever will.
As I was relaxing in the bath (sorry, probably 'too much information, especially for those that know me!) and letting my thoughts drift along pretty randomly, I started to think about some of my friends and colleagues: one's still coping with the aftermath of the Japanese earthquake; one's recently widowed; one's, to put it bluntly, losing her marbles; one's spending this weekend picking up the pieces in her house, since large swathes of the downstairs flooring were dug up on Friday to find a leak.
Good grief, I thought – I'm bloody lucky! I have a loving (and all-round fab) husband, a terrific family (especially the nearest and dearest, including the recent addition of Mrs Mooseface), I have great friends, I enjoy my job, I have time (never enough time of course, but some time) to indulge my passions of messing around with textiles, drawing and pottering about in bits of nature, and although one could always be better off financially, the finances aren't a complete disaster! The interesting point is that at no point during these thoughts floating over the bubbles did I consider, 'Yes, but I do have this bloody disease to deal with, so perhaps not so lucky after all.'
It's not as though things are going great with the RA at the moment either. I wake up every morning in pain, although it often clears for the most part within the hour. I go to sleep most nights in pain. I have pain and stiffness during every day. This is perhaps extra frustrating because for around four months between a flare in March and sometime around August, I felt as though I was pretty much fine, almost symptom free, nearly in remission. And yet, in a way, this on-and-off low-grade (for the most part) pain has just become the norm for me. It's just another thing to put on one side and live with – and yes, I do appreciate I'm lucky that I can put it on one side at the moment, it's not so bad that it stops me doing all those things I consider myself lucky for, but what interested me was the fact that it was so far into the normal, everyday that I didn't even give it a thought when considering other people's problems and drifting into comparing my life to theirs.
I think I might have once ranted that I will never 'accept' this disease, and don't even mention the word 'embrace' in the same breath as rheumatoid arthritis, but perhaps this is acceptance, Penguin-style.

So true with acceptance and ra. For me as well, there will always be pain and it is just a question of a dull throb or all out full blown pain but it is always there and will always be there. I have come to accept it and move on. And move on I will. That is my greatest challenge…to keep moving and accept that although there are days I may have to fight to keep moving, I will. This is my acceptance of my ra and in so doing I have now been able to once again begin to focus on some lost dreams and to now try and accomplish them. Acceptance is good.

That was a lovely perspective. I think it's hard whilst in the throes of pain to find perspective you know you are 'better' in some ways when one finds one's thoughts are for someone else other than your body. At least I found it so. I was totally in self absorbed survival mode for a few months of pain then my empathy gene kicked in again thank god. Thinking about others actually makes me feel better. Am new to this and the epiphanies that come with RA.

Wiz Khalifa thumbed his nose at authorities again Wednesday, and this time it earned him an arrest warrant.
The 26-year-old rapper, who posted a jailhouse selfie after his arrest in May, failed to appear in a Texas court on Wednesday for his arraignment on misdemeanor marijuana possession charges, Billboard reports.
According to online court records, El Paso County Court-at-Law Judge Ricardo Herrara issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Khalifa, whose real name is Cameron Thomaz.
Khalifa was arrested May 25 when El Paso International Airport security officers discovered he was carrying a small canister of marijuana. He posted $300 bail -- but not before posting the selfie from his jail cell.

Early in its second season as a varsity program, the Lawrence Technological University Men's Bowling Team has risen to #14 on a list of top college bowling teams in the country on the strength of its first tournament victory on Nov. 16.
The national rankings can be found at http://www.collegebowling.com/rankings/pwrrank.asp?PwrRank=2013M091.
LTU is a member of the National Intercollegiate Athletic Association and most of its athletic teams compete in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC). LTU will host the next WHAC tournament on December 7 at Country Lanes in Farmington Hills.
Seven teams competed in the tournament hosted by Aquinas College in Grand Rapids on Nov. 16. LTU won with a team average of 1030. The University of Northwestern Ohio finished second with a team average of 1009, and Davenport University was third with an average of 997.
The LTU Blue Devils were led by freshman Blake Nottle (Macomb Township, MI) who finished in second place with a 232 average. He was a single pin behind the tournament's top bowler, Andrew Anderson of Davenport.
Five other Blue Devils finished in the top 25 in the recent tournament in Grand Rapids.
Freshman Brian Busch (Sterling Heights, MI) was fifth with a 213.25 average; freshman Jeff Pietryka (Clinton Township, MI) finished ninth with an average of 204; sophomore Henry Huvaere II (Grand Rapids, MI) placed 13th with a 199.50 average; sophomore Eric Pavlov (Livonia, MI) was 19th with a 195.5 average; and junior Scott Kujawa (New Hudson, MI) was 23rd with a 189.75 average.
At the start of the season the team's goal was to qualify for the national invitational collegiate tournament run by the U.S. Bowling Congress. The top 80 teams in the country are invited, and last season LTU finished 89th in the national rankings. This year's team is virtually assured of making the cut, given the points it has already amassed in the early going.
So far the freshmen are leading the way. "I had a very good recruiting season. Once you get one great bowler, others seem to come," said Head coach Bryan Bressler (email@example.com, 248-895-6595).
Nottle was the key recruit this year. He finished ninth in the national junior tournament for bowlers under 20.
Lawrence Tech has an interesting mix of true freshmen, transfer students and upper classmen. Several players already knew each other from previous competition, and that has made it easier for Bressler to get the bowlers to think of themselves as a team.
A major challenge for competitive bowlers is to adjust to the lane conditions at different venues and then keep up with changes that occur during the course of a tournament that typically runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. That's where good communication between teammates can make a difference, according to the coach.
"Right now they're getting better and better, which is really exciting because we're just about halfway through the season," Bressler said.

Miami (OH) quarterback Zac Dysert was an interesting evaluation this past college football season because he had little help around him, yet he made a plethora of plays. Some good, some bad – that's just how Dysert is as a passer. And that, understandably, could turn some teams off as they seek their future face of the franchise.But there's raw talent to work with when it comes to the Miami senior, and one of those talents is his remarkable ability to throw on the move to his left. Being a right-handed passer is common but the ability to make throws with the ball placement and arm strength that Dysert does to his left isn't. Why? Because most quarterbacks aren't comfortable throwing across their body. One of the most recent quarterback's that has been terrific at throwing to his left is Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers. Kaepernick's talent has allowed the 49ers to attack the back end of the defense down the left, middle and right. That's what Dysert offers, and here's an example of it against Akron this past season.Dysert stood in shotgun set with a stacked twin set to his left. This meant two receivers tightly aligned, which is done to make it difficult for the defense to press the receivers as well as to coordinate responsibilities post-snap. The two routes were simple. The first would run a quick out while the second would be a quick double-move that would ultimately work the deep safety vertically.
When Dysert dropped back, he waited for the vertical route to develop. While doing so, pressure came from his right, forcing him to move up in the pocket and eventually out to near the left flat.
Forcing the Miami signal-caller outside of the pocket is the exact opposite what the defense hopes for. He's a quality passer on the move and is at his best when he's working with a broken down pocket due to his improvisational talent. When he gets out of the pocket on this play, he's able to shred the Akron defense with the deep ball with a simple flick of the wrist, which is followed by the ball softly landing into the hands of the receiver in the end zone. His ball placement on this throw is sublime, with the football flying over the top of the defensive back where only the receiver can get it.
This talent is something that will surely intrigue NFL personnel men, as it is a sign of what he is able to do when he has the ball longer in his hands. In most cases, quarterbacks that hold the ball longer tend to make mistakes but that's not the case with Dysert, who possesses instincts to make defenses pay for their undisciplined pass-rush. Although he's dangerous on the move, there are concerns with his game as well. One could make the case that Dysert might be too much of a gunslinger and that he's careless with the ball. He makes far too many questionable throws, such as throwing back across the middle of the field or into double coverage like he did against Ohio.It was 3rd-&-8 with 29 seconds left in the first half. The ball was on the opponent's 10-yard line and Dysert was in an empty shotgun set. He had trips (three receivers) to his right and twins (two receivers) to his left. With Ohio giving a large cushion defensively to protect the goal-line, he couldn't afford to force the football into coverage because it was surely going to be an interception. This was situational football 101.
When he dropped back, it appeared that no one was open, forcing him to hold the ball longer than expected. Eventually, he was faced with pressure and had to leave the pocket and move to his right. This was supposed to be a situation where he excelled – on the move, improvising and making plays.
And then he threw an awful interception. He tried to throw the football high into the back of the end zone to his receiver but only found an Ohio defender. There were three defenders in the immediate area and Dysert had no business throwing the football. If he threw the ball away, the offense could have tacked on three more points to their nine-point lead.
Gunslingers are acceptable to a degree. Coaches will always pull their hair out when they have them on their team, but gunslingers make a lot of plays that traditional quarterbacks don't make. However, they also make mistakes, like Dysert, when they cannot. It's something that Dysert will have to learn to do because he doesn't throw the ball away enough. Even when he has time in the pocket, he holds on to the ball too long and takes too many sacks. That leads to long down and distances, which he may or may not be able to handle at the next level. Moreover, Dysert has to improve his footwork. It is quite poor, which may have something to do with three different offenses in three years. He stands flat-footed in the pocket and doesn't always transfer his weight, leading to scattershot accuracy. Overall, he's a developmental quarterback. These types of quarterbacks usually have a late round label attached to their name, suggesting their lacking in talent. However, Dysert isn't – he simply needs to go to a team with continuity in its coaching staff and that could teach him the fundamentals of the position. How much they can coach him up is a different question, as is if he's a franchise quarterback or not, but he definitely has some talent to mold.

Mike MacIntyre's first opportunity to get on the football field with his players at Colorado is less than two months away. Spring practices will begin in Boulder on March 7.
MacIntyre said the Buffs will have eight practices before taking a week off for spring break. The Buffs will return to the practice field for five more practices before the April 13 spring game at Folsom Field, which will begin at noon and will be televised on the Pac-12 Network.
MacIntyre says he is one of relatively few coaches across the country who likes to have one of the 15 allowable spring practices after the spring game. He said the Buffs will meet and review film of the spring game on Monday, April 15 and then head to the field one last time to work on the mistakes they made.
He said he also likes having a practice after the spring game in order to provide players some direction for summer workouts. The NCAA does not allow coaches to work with players from the end of spring ball until fall camp begins in August.
"It is unusual," MacIntyre said. "Only a couple schools do it. I think it's a phenomenal idea the way we do it. In the summer, the kids throw on their own and do all that. So we just take them through a segmented practice kind of like how you'd like to do it."
Still searching
MacIntyre still has two jobs to fill on his coaching staff. He has hired seven of his nine assistant coaches but doesn't yet have a running backs coach or anyone coaching special teams.
He said it's possible he could hire one assistant who would be entirely responsible for coaching special teams and no other position.
"I think the kicking and punting and longsnapping and all that -- all the intracacies of it -- I don't want to have those guys neglected," MacIntyre said.
He said he hopes to have the staff completed in the next week. He said not having a full staff is not having an impact on recruiting because only seven coaches are ever allowed on the road at one time.
"I wish it was an exact science," MacIntyre said. "I will hopefully know here in the next couple days."
Wrapping up recruiting
MacIntyre said he is planning to sign about 17 recruits on national signing day Feb. 6. CU had 13 commitments going into the weekend.
MacIntyre and several members of his staff attended the Buffs' basketball game against UCLA on Saturday with four recruits. He said he likes the recruits who committed to the program under the previous coaching staff and has honored all those scholarship offers. MacIntyre said a lot of those prospects are receiving late attention from various schools.
Open and morning practices
MacIntyre said the Buffs will return to practicing in the morning during the season because he believes it makes it easier on players to keep up with their school work and get the proper amount of sleep at night.
CU practiced in the morning in 2010, the final year of Dan Hawkins' tenure. The Buffs practiced in the late afternoon the past two seasons under Embree.
MacIntyre will have the most liberal policies in recent memory when it comes to who will be able to watch practices. He plans to open every practice to the public and the media, even during the season.
Why isn't MacIntyre as paranoid about open practices as most of his peers? He said there is so much film available on opponents in this day and age, it's more than enough to prepare for the Buffs without also trying to scout CU practices.
"I think it's important for our fans to see things," MacIntyre said. "I love having high school coaches come around, junior high coaches, junior pro coaches. If a guy gets off early and wants to take his son out to practice, I think that's important and it's good for our program."
MacIntyre said there will definitely be times during the season when he will close the final 20 or 30 minutes of practice to work on something he doesn't want revealed to opponents.
Hawkins and Embree both expressed concerns about CU fans coming to practices and the producing detailed practice reports on various websites. MacIntyre said he will ask fans not to do that.
"That's what I told people at San Jose State too, is if I see anything on a blog or I see anything on the Internet, then I will know who you are and I'll ask you not to come back," MacIntyre said. "I think that's fair."
It's not clear how he will identify those people, who generally post on sites under anonymous nicknames.
Wait and see approach
MacIntyre said when he talked with every returning player prior to the winter break, he was left with the impression they would all be back for the spring semester and none were planning to transfer between semesters. MacIntyre acknowledged that a handful of players discussed transferring but agreed to go through spring football first and make a decision after seeing how they fit into the new system.
MacIntyre said a pair of fourth-year juniors who participated in senior day in November will return to the program in the spring in hopes of playing as fifth-year seniors in the fall. Tight end DaVaughn Thornton and wide receiver Jarrod Darden told MacIntyre they would like to continue their careers. He said punter Zach Grossnickle has opted to move on even though he has one year of eligibility remaining as a fourth-year junior. ...The Buffs will have a team meeting Sunday night at 8 p.m.

South Carolina could have two people overseeing agencies' cybersecurity as part of an effort to centralize responsibility, the head of the state's information technology division told senators Wednesday.
Statewide oversight of computer policies could be separated into two new positions. While a chief information security officer would be responsible for protecting data, a statewide privacy officer would define exactly what should be protected, Jim Earley of the Division of State Information Technology told senators.
He noted a national group of states' chief IT officers recommends the splitting of duties, in a report titled, "State governments at risk: a call for collaboration and compliance."
Earley and state Inspector General Patrick Maley testified before a Senate panel that's looking into the hacking of millions of taxpayers' personal data. Data stolen in the nation's largest hacking of a state agency includes unencrypted Social Security and bank account numbers.
The testimony came a day after Maley released his interim report on the state's cybersecurity situation. Gov. Nikki Haley issued an executive order calling for his review Oct. 26, the same day she initially announced the hacking of Department of Revenue computer servers. The tab for her administration's response to the theft is nearly $20 million so far.
Maley told senators the state's current decentralized approach is a recipe for problems.
Neither Maley nor Earey advocated complete centralization, but rather centralizing responsibility of computer security and letting agencies handle operations. Each agency's chief information officer could report to a new statewide cybersecurity chief.
That means someone is in charge to create guidance and set the rules, and agencies can decide how to tailor them for their own circumstances, Earley said.
"Agencies know their operations best," he said.
Maley did not give any cost estimates for the transition, which would include paying consultants. He said his next report will focus on the cost and timeline of options.
"Whatever your investment on the front end, you get dividends down the road in productivity as well as reducing the risk of a catastrophic failure," he said.
Currently, Earley's division, which is part of the Budget and Control Board, can only suggest policies. Since 2003, the division has offered security-monitoring services free to state agencies, local governments and school districts. Federal grants, totaling $5 million, have so far funded the monitoring services.
The Department of Revenue has been criticized for not fully using the division's free services prior to the hacking. It became the 54th state agency to sign up for full system monitoring Oct. 20, the day officials say Revenue's breach was closed.
Maley suggests keeping the chief cybersecurity officer independent from Earley's division, due to agencies' historic distrust over what the division charged, often without explanation, for computer services other than monitoring.
Earley said he's working to change the perception that his division puts profits ahead of service.
Sen. Kevin Bryant, the panel's chairman, said the state probably needs to hire one or two people for the statewide oversight, though it's possible that positions could be rearranged to cover the jobs.
He believes the state needs to contract for services, saying private-sector businesses would have an extra incentive not to let another such breach happen.
"Can you imagine the devastating impact it would be on a private corporation to be in the headlines every day with this problem?" he asked.

Did we actually see Walter White die?
Unless you got to check his vitals -- or lack thereof -- you don't know for sure, do you? That may have been Bryan Cranston's point when, answering a question Thursday from CNN's Ashleigh Banfield concerning whether his "Breaking Bad" character really died, Cranston said, "Hey, you never saw bags zip up or anything. Or say ... you know," leaving the question up to viewers' imaginations.
Breaking Bad Mov-ie! Breaking Bad mov-ie!
Cranston also said, responding to the question of whether we'd ever again see the greatest meth dealer in the history of the fictional American Southwest: "Never say never."
Breaking Bad Mov-ie! Breaking Bad mov-ie!
The hit TV series ended big on September 2013. The good people of Albuquerque, New Mexico -- where the series was set and filmed -- even held a funeral for Cranston's character.
Cranston's career, of course, hasn't died. He currently stars in the hit reboot "Godzilla," which has stomped all over the American box office this past month.
Meanwhile, "Breaking Bad" fans can look forward to the upcoming spinoff series "Better Call Saul."

Progress already made to restore parts of U.S. 36 between Lyons and Estes Park is bolstering the confidence of Colorado flood recovery managers trying to meet a Dec. 1 deadline for fixing — if only temporarily — roads and bridges washed away this month.
Chief Recovery Officer Jerre Stead and Colorado Department of Transportation executive director Don Hunt on Sunday drove, and in places hiked, damaged sections of U.S. 36 where National Guard and CDOT crews are working to fill in washed- out sections of the road and install temporary bridges.
In some places, residents have plowed their own paths around damaged sections, Hunt said.
"I'm really amazed at the progress they are making," Stead said. "The coordination between the National Guard and CDOT crews is really humming."
Still, the random nature of the destruction is unnerving, said Hunt, who toured other flood-damaged areas this weekend with Stead. "There are some places where there is total devastation. And then a few yards away, it's like nothing has happened."
The fact that a relatively small area of winding U.S. 36 was damaged favors meeting the deadline, Stead said. "It's a concentrated area, that's the good news."
There are several obstacles, however. Crews need enough fill material to shore up damaged roads. The narrow highway makes it difficult to haul enough equipment to trouble spots, Hunt said.
There also are persistent worries about rock slides that could endanger crews and residents.
"Rock is going to be continually falling while we work," Hunt said. "It's going to take constant vigilance to keep those roads open in the winter."
Rebuilding will be done in two phases.
The repair phase — building temporary bridges and roads to allow people to reach their homes and businesses — will last about three months, CDOT spokeswoman Amy Ford said.
On Friday, Gov. John Hickenlooper issued an executive order to make meeting the Dec. 1 deadline easier, authorizing state agencies to suspend any state rule that would "prevent, hinder or delay necessary action in coping with the (flood) emergency."
The recovery phase will cover long-term improvements in the state's transportation infrastructure, Ford said. That could mean redesigning bridges or roads to make them less vulnerable to flooding.
The cost of permanent fixes to flood-damaged roads in 17 counties could exceed $500 million, Ford said, rivaling the amount spent after Hurricane Sandy.
Colorado hopes to be reimbursed beyond the federal promise to pay back the $100 million the state drained from its transportation contingency fund, she said.
CDOT on Monday is expected to name the contractors who will form three response teams working on the temporary repairs. Each team will be assigned a specific region of responsibility, Ford said.

Music is the language of every generation, and Chris Schmitz, Redwood Falls Youth for Christ director, believes it's is going to play a huge role in his role at the youth-centered ministry.
Music is the language of every generation.
That is the premise Chris Schmitz, Redwood Falls Youth for Christ director, believes is going to play a huge role in his role at the youth-centered ministry.
Schmitz, who came on as the new local director less than one year ago, has taken ownership of the center bringing his own touch to the facility.
While the traditional programming offered at the Youth for Christ center in the community continues, with Campus Life each Monday night and a senior high Bible study each Wednesday night, Schmitz has made some changes he believes are going to pique the interest of the youth he hopes to reach.
One of the most dramatic changes at the center centers around one of his passions – music.
A stage with a sound system and several instruments has been set up at the center, and Schmitz plans to use that stage to bring in groups that can help share a message of hope through their music. One such event has been scheduled for April 19.
That night starting at 7 p.m. the Redwood Rock Show is being held, with two bands being featured.
The bands, See the Rise and At Mourning's End, play what Schmitz called hard core music.
Both bands, he added, have a connection to the Redwood area, and all youth are invited to come and watch the show. There is no charge to attend.
Schmitz said this is the first concert of what he plans to have each month, with different music styles featured with each performance.
He added several area businesses are helping sponsor the concerts, and Schmitz said he still looking for added sponsors.
The intent is to offer a positive message through music, said Schmitz, adding he knows there are many youth out there who have an interest in music and who would enjoy this kind of event.
Schmitz is already making a difference in the community, and that difference is going to be on display tomorrow night when the annual Youth for Christ banquet is going to be held at the Redwood Area Community Cen-ter in Redwood Falls.
While it is too late to get tickets for the meal, Schmitz said the public is welcome to come and hear the presentation which is scheduled to start at approximately 7:30 p.m. A bake sale is also being held to help raise funds for the ministry.
In addition to Schmitz providing an overview of the program, youth are going to be sharing how it is making a difference in their lives. Schmitz stressed Youth for Christ is not church and is not intended to be a replacement for one being actively involved in a church.
"We are a youth outreach program," said Schmitz. "We work alongside and through churches."
Schmitz also said he often brings pastors from the community into the center to talk with the students and to answer questions they may have.
Rather than just present a message to them, Schmitz said he believes what is important is finding out what they want to know.
"I am more than willing to shift gears and talk to them about what they are interested in," said Schmitz.
There are typically somewhere between 20-30 youth who are coming to events at Youth for Christ, and Schmitz is hoping the kinds of events he plans to host can add more to that number.
No, it's not about counting people who come in the doors but about changing lives and providing hope to a culture of teenagers who truly need it.
Those who want to learn more or would like to support the program can call Schmitz at (507) 637-8140.

Day Four of the Winter Meetings is usually the slowest. The Rule 5 Draft takes place in the morning, then teams that aren't expecting to conduct any more business typically head to the airport. The bloggers and beat writers soon follow and only organizations that are working on deals or finalizing them stick around through Thursday night.For an on-the-scene perspective from Nashville, Tennessee's Gaylord Opryland Hotel -- where this year's Meetings were held -- check out Craig Calcaterra's filings at HardballTalk.
Astros Bring Flexibility To Rule 5The Rule 5 Draft has produced some stars in the past -- see: Josh Hamilton, Johan Santana, Dan Uggla and Jose Bautista -- but front offices are better than ever at evaluating their own talent and so there aren't as many exciting options available. The guys in this class that might become difference-making major leaguers aren't on that track right now.Houston plucked right-handed reliever Josh Fields from the Red Sox with the first overall pick. A 27-year-old former Mariners prospect, he has yet to reach the bigs but posted a promising 2.01 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 78/18 K/BB ratio in 58 1/3 innings this past season between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Pawtucket. Fields may round into a middle reliever or setup man. Those types do sometimes late-bloom.The Astros also grabbed 25-year-old first baseman Nate Freiman in the second round. He slugged 24 home runs and tallied 105 RBI in 137 games this summer at Double-A San Antonio -- an affiliate of his former team, the Padres. "This is a guy who's worth taking a chance on, a guy we've like since his days at Duke," Astros director of pro scouting Kevin Goldstein told MLB.com about Freiman. "He was great in Arizona and played well for Israel as well. Right-handed guys with that kind of power are not normally available in the Rule 5. He destroys left-handed pitching, and he's a guy you give an opportunity to him in the spring and see what he can do."Fields and Freiman must remain on the Astros' 25-man roster all season, or they'll be returned to the clubs they were claimed from. Most teams don't have room for two players with no MLB experience, but the 'Stros are in full rebuilding mode and that comes with great roster flexibility.

Nothing Runs Like A Revere Ben Revere hasn't homered in over 1,000 career major-league plate appearances and owns a weak .642 career OPS. But he has great range in the outfield, steals bases by the dozens and at a very productive clip, and he's only 24 years old. So when the Twins indicated that they were shopping him, the suitors lined up quickly.And the package that the Twins ultimately settled on is a clear winner.For Revere the Phillies gave up 25-year-old right-hander Vance Worley, who has a 3.50 career ERA in 53 career major-league appearances -- 46 of which have been starts. And 23-year-old right-hander Trevor May, who stands 6-foot-5 and boasts an 11.9 career K/9 in the minor leagues. Those two could be rotation cornerstones over the next several seasons for the Twins, who have badly needed cost-controlled starting pitching.Revere will start in center field for Philadelphia. He's guaranteed regular playing time, which makes him an even more valuable fantasy commodity than he already was. Fantasy veterans know that really reliable steals guys are hard to come by. Revere is a good one.
Big Three Logjam Holding Up DealsThe top three players on the open market this winter -- Zack Greinke, Josh Hamilton and Anibal Sanchez -- remain unsigned. Which is keeping other high-profile free agents from engaging in discussions with teams that might have interest because the top end of the pay scale has not been set. Thus, a relatively inactive Winter Meetings.Greinke was thought to be the center of a Los Angeles bidding war when the Meetings began, but the Angels bowed out pretty early and the Dodgers are, according to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, beginning to wonder whether he might simply prefer the Rangers. Dallas is much lower-key than L.A. and Greinke's wife is a former Cowboys cheerleader (whatever that's worth). If the Rangers are able to land Justin Upton via trade from the Diamondbacks, they can let Hamilton walk and push their available funds toward a massive Greinke offer.Hamilton has a three-year, $60-75 million proposal on the table from the Mariners, says FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal. The 31-year-old is probably going to wind up doing better than that, but it's difficult to say how much better because his market has been so slow-developing. The Rangers are of course keeping tabs on things, but they can't commit one way or the other until the Greinke situation is settled. The Red Sox loom as a potential darkhorse.Then there's Sanchez, who has been linked to several teams but only loosely. He's praying somewhere that Greinke gets a record-breaking contract so that his demands can be justifiably sky-high. The Royals have some interest.
Winter Meetings Short HopsThe Blue Jays and Rangers are still engaged in trade talks with the Mets for knuckleballer R.A. Dickey … Curtis Granderson, Ivan Nova and Phil Hughes are being shopped by the Yankees … The Royals have balked at the Rays' asking price for James Shields, which is said to be Wil Myers plus other prospects … Adam LaRoche is struggling to find an offer for longer than two years … The Cubs finalized their two-year, $9.5 million contract Thursday with Japanese closer Kyuji Fujikawa and will introduce him Friday at Wrigley Field … Michael Young is drawing serious trade interest from the Phillies … The Yankees have made a one-year, $12 million offer to third baseman Kevin Youkilis … Jason Grilli, who's being represented by former major league slugger Gary Sheffield, is weighing two-year offers from the Pirates, Blue Jays and Cubs … The Twins avoided arbitration Thursday with setup man Jared Burton by agreeing to a two-year, $5.5 million contract extension … Ryan Ludwick is mulling over a two-year offer from the Reds and hoping that other teams will come calling so that he can counter that proposal … Johnny Damon, who batted just .222/.281/.329 in 224 plate appearances this past season for Cleveland, is aiming to return for a 19th major league season … The Cubs re-signed corner infielder Ian Stewart to a one-year, $2 million contract … Jason Bay finalized a one-year deal with the Mariners that will be worth $500,000 if he's in the minors and $1 million if he's on the major league roster … The Red Sox signed reliever Koji Uehara to a bargain one-year, $4.5 million free agent contract … Ryan Spilborghs has reached an agreement with the Seibu Lions of Japan's Pacific League … Reed Johnson was re-signed by the Braves to a one-year contract with a club option for 2014 … The Rangers inked right-handed reliever Evan Meek to a minor league deal.
