Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Could Limbaugh show be dropped here?
Is there a chance that WISN-AM (1130) would ever drop the conservative talk show hosted by Rush Limbaugh?
Unlikely, considering the show is distributed by the station's owner.
But two stations have dropped Limbaugh this week, though the stations in Hawaii and in Pittsfield, Mass., are not in major markets, and their defections so far seem isolated.
Numerous advertisers also have withdrawn from the show.
WISN-AM officials have not responded to requests for comment on local listener and advertiser reactions.
The other stations' and advertisers' actions were in response to remarks Limbaugh made last week, calling a woman who testified before Congress in support of birth control a slut and prostitute.
Limbaugh's show is syndicated by Premiere, a subsidiary of the Clear Channel broadcast chain that owns many of the stations that carry Limbaugh, including WISN-AM.
The show is syndicated on about 600 stations nationwide.
On Tuesday, Clear Channel released a statement saying it was "committed to providing its listeners with access to a broad range of opinion and commentary without condoning or agreeing with the opinions, comments or attempts at humor expressed by on-air talent."
"We respect the right of Mr. Limbaugh, as well as the rights of those who disagree with him," according to a statement that appeared in the Wall Street Journal.
According to Talkers Magazine, Limbaugh's show reaches 15 million listeners a week and is the top-rated radio talk show in the nation. Second-ranked Sean Hannity has 14 million listeners.
Locally, his ratings picture is not so rosy.
Limbaugh's show on WISN-AM is 11th-ranked in its time slot. Local conservative talker Jeff Wagner, airing opposite on WTMJ-AM (620), is ranked second, with almost twice as many listeners.
WTMJ is owned by the Journal Broadcast Group, which like the Journal Sentinel, is owned by Journal Communications.

Rush Limbaugh, you sure white women are slu-- and prostitutes.
Rush limbaugh the majority of catholic women use contraceptives, does that make them slu-- and prostitutes?
Welcome to America now... Where everyone has an opinion but no one listens to anyone else's.
Did Rush lack tact in getting his point across? Sure, but remember he's an entertainer. Taxpayers shouldn't be paying for a college student to have sex. We are all responsible for our decisions.
Did Kirk Cameron believe in what he said about gay rights? You bet.
People are allowed to have opinions that are different than yours and it is inexplicable to sit on these message boards and just call people "dumb".
Furthermore, Cameron's beliefs are at least based on something... Christianity. If more people lived a lifestyle better aligned with Christianity, we wouldn't have these problems.
Put Sly on in that time slot. Watch the ratings plummet way below 11th place.
So we could get all our news from the JS!
Be careful sentinel. You could give the libs around here an erection that lasts for more than 4 hours. Then we'd have them asking for one more healthcare freebie!
@chuckiehasckson. Guess what. I only learned to hate you. And I did it all by myself. Who's really the haters on this post.? If you can read, take a close look! You can do it. I just know it!
Put him on tv, it'd be ammusing to see a bowling pin putting his big foot into his big mouth.Hide replies
He did have a TV show in the late 80's early 90's and look at where at is now.
With 15 million listeners, Rush isn't going anywhere. The only reason he exists is the built-in political bias of the mainstream media. This includes the failed concepts of multi-culturalism and the Barack Obama experiment, which will thankfully end in 8 months.
No way. Not only is Rush and WISN both owned by Clear Channel, Mark Belling is often one of Rush's fill in hosts.

Crusaders Fall in First Round of Singles Qualifying; Two Players Win Consolation Matches
Thursday, October 19, 2006All three players for Valparaiso dropped first round qualifying matches on Wednesday at the ITA Midwest Regional Championships in Minneapolis, Minn., but two rebounded to win consolation contests later in the afternoon.
Nic Kooyers (Holland, Mich./Holland H.S.) had a match point in his first round match against Mpiloenhle Migogo of Indiana State before falling in a third set tie-break 1-6, 6-3, 7-6 (6). The senior rebounded to post a 6-4, 6-4 win over Butler's Ben Raynauld in the consolation round.
Mike Shideler (Valparaiso, Ind./Munster H.S.) also battled tough in his first round match against fifth seeded Kevin Hayward of Western Michigan, but dropped a 7-5, 6-2 decision. He came back to defeat Mark Goldin of UW-Green Bay 6-3, 7-6 (3) in consolation play.
Joe Venegas (Saint Charles, Ill./North H.S.) dropped a pair of matches on Wednesday. In the first round he lost to Western Michigan's John Pelton 6-1, 6-1 before dropping a 6-4, 6-4 decision to Ryan Hamning of Cleveland State in consolation action.
Kooyers and Venegas will be in action again on Friday evening at 7 p.m. in the first round of doubles play in the main draw. The Crusader duo will face 13th-seeded Matko Maravic and George Navas of Michigan.

CORBIN — Times-Tribune Staff Report
Watch the 60 Minutes interview-click here
May 3, 2012.pdf
A "60 Minutes" interview with a former Times-Tribune managing editor and a former reporter who helped uncover corruption in former Whitley County sheriff Lawrence Hodge's office is set to air Sunday.
The segment, featuring Samantha Swindler and Adam Sulfridge, will include an interview filmed in January at the Times-Tribune office in Corbin.
Swindler and Sulfridge are credited for their reporting on Hodge, which revealed missing evidence — including drugs and guns — from Hodge's office.
State audits of the office have revealed a known deficit of at least $240,000.
Last May, Hodge pleaded guilty to federal charges of money laundering, extortion and drug distribution. On Sept. 28 in London's U.S. District Court, he was sentenced to 15 and a half years for those federal charges.
Hodge also faces a 21-count indictment on state charges after a special grand jury looked into reported wrongdoings in his office. The indictment charges Hodge with 12 counts of abuse of public trust over $10,000, six counts of abuse of public trust less than $10,000 and three counts of tampering with evidence.

[JURIST] The US State Department (DOS) [official website] on Thursday released its 2009 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices [materials]. Announcing the release [video; statement text], Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the US has recommitted "to continue the hard work of making human rights a human reality." In its introduction [text] to the reports, which covered 194 countries, the DOS noted that human rights violations have continued throughout the world, noting several global trends:
In 2009, governments across the globe continued to commit serious violations of human rights. As we survey the world, there still are an alarming number of reports of torture, extrajudicial killings, and other violations of universal human rights. Often these violations relating to the integrity of the person are in countries where conflicts are occurring. These violent attacks are a central concern wherever they take place.In a significant number of countries, governments have imposed new and often draconian restrictions on NGOs. Since 2008, no fewer than 25 governments have imposed new restrictions on the ability of these organizations to register, to operate freely, or to receive foreign funding, adversely impacting freedom of association. In many countries, human rights defenders are singled out for particularly harsh treatment, and in the most egregious cases, they are imprisoned or even attacked or killed in reaction to their advocacy.These restrictions and repressive measures are part of a larger pattern of governmental efforts to control dissenting or critical voices. This pattern also extends to the media and to new forms of electronic communications through the Internet and other new technologies. Restrictions on freedom of expression, including on members of the media, are increasing and becoming more severe. In many cases, such restrictions are applied subtly by autocrats aiming to avoid attention from human rights groups and donor countries, such as through the threat of criminal penalties and administrative or economic obstacles, rather than through violence or imprisonment; the end result is still a chilling effect on freedom of expression.A third trend we observed is the continuing and escalating discrimination and persecution of members of vulnerable groups often racial, religious, or ethnic minorities, but also women, members of indigenous communities, children, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups that lack the political power in their societies to defend their own interests.

How The West Was Done
Jason Tattersall "Tats" made the call to load up on bagel and coffee from Pearl St and then head for Targhee. His weather man status was confirmed as we headed over the pass into Idaho and the fresh snow on the trees turned from inches to feet. After a couple of untracked laps inbounds it was time to explore the backside with a decent of Rotten Couloir. First man in Charlie Astor at the meagre height of six foot five inches, soon found himself nipple deep, with sluff moving down either side of the 40 degree Couloir. We realised it was deep, very deep. Tattersall geared up in Oakley's Primed outfit was properly outfitted for this amount of snow. With three layer Dermizax, 30K mm waterproofing, 20K g/m2/24hrs breathability, fully tape-welded seams, and bibs to keep his kit clean he couldn't have asked for better protection.
Our small group had soon shredded 5 high speed lines through brottens and found ourselves standing below the spot of Jamie Pierre's infamous 255ft cliff jump. The cliff line stretches around the back of Targhee and forms a band of potential drop-offs that can only be described as a free-skier's paradise. Matching Pierre's Leap was going to be slightly optimistic so we headed west below the cliff line. Unfortunately for us there was no gradient and a boot pack through stomach high powder represented our only way out. Leading from the front, Tats cut a trench through the powder with the Brits gladly following in his wake. The Oakley Primed Bib kept him amazingly dry and without snow penetration to unwanted areas. Tat's route took us up through a gap in the cliffs, presenting a selection of multiple airs to be taken on at will. Before the full group had reached the top, Tats had already slammed a 45ft ripper and was bounding back up his boot-packed stairs.
After Targhee, Teton National Park was next on our list. In order to ensure first tracks, we set off under the cover of darkness at 5am with head torches to show the way and ipods to drown out the deafening silence of a sleeping Teton. Again Tats showed the way, breaking track through 3 foot of fresh powder and putting a skin line in all the way to the top of Mount Albright. His lightweight breathable outfit kept him dry the whole way. At 10,600ft, Albright's peak lies 4,000ft from the valley floor and after 4 hrs of skinning, everyone was surprised to see the 3 Londoners arrive at the top.
Pain and altitude were soon forgotten once split boards were reassembled and bindings re-clipped. George cut a sweet line over the top snow on his 166 Voile split, followed by Charlie and Pete who immediately disappeared up to their chests…..face shots come easy when you're in trench town! Luckily we had on Oakley Seth Morrison Signature Series Crowbar goggles to protect our faces from the pow. By the time we had reached the bottom we had experienced everything from steep powder fields to tight tree lines and finished with a wide open sunlit finale of sweeping turns and train length roosters. By 11am we had climbed the equivalent of 4.1 Eiffel Towers or 3.2 Empire State Buildings and descended. Quite a morning no matter where you are in the world.
After successfully completing the ascent of Mount Albright, we headed to Teton Pass for what could only be described as a trip to the white room. Tats again led the charge up the boot pack, at 7.30am it was negative 6 degrees Fahrenheit (-21 Celsius). Words simply could not do justice to the depth and quality of the snow.
Thank you to Oakley for making such killer product. Without it our trip would not have been quite as enjoyable! We know that we could not have done it without you.
Happy turns,
Peter, Charlie, and George

19 pounds of crystal meth seized on Christmas Eve. A Douglas County Sheriff's K-9 drug interdiction deputy discovered the $500,000 worth of "Ice" in a hidden compartment.
The driver of a pick up with Colorado plates had been stopped for speeding and following too close.
Chief Deputy Marty Bilek said, "That's a significant amount of narcotics to get off the street."
The bagged meth was found stuffed in a hidden storage area in the drive train of the pickup. The door to the hidden compartment is located under the center console. Bilek said, "It's rather sophisticated because it was electronically controlled. You can remotely operate the hidden compartment and access it with an electronic connection somewhere else in the vehicle."
The interdiction deputies are trained to look for parts of a vehicle that look out of place or altered. In this case the center console didn't fit correctly.

Food prices in Haiti rose sharply from August 2007 until September 2008. Though prices of most food – local and imported – have since come down from their extreme highs, they are still out of reach for millions of Haitians.
Some 80 percent of Haitians live below the poverty line. More than 60 percent of Haiti's nearly 9 million people live in extreme poverty, unable to access sufficient food to eat.
Vulnerability to extreme weather
Haiti each year is battered by the Caribbean's seasonal hurricanes, which devastate the agricultural sector. Forests cover just two percent of Haiti's land, leaving it without protection against extreme weather, and subject to soil erosion. Yet two-thirds of Haitians scrape their meagre earnings from agriculture.
Four major storms swept through the country in August and September 2008, destroying half of the crops that were growing at the time, killing more than 800 people and herds of livestock and ravaging the country's infrastructure.
Around 85 percent of Haiti's watersheds – a crucial source of water for households and crops, and a buffer against flooding – have fallen into disrepair.
FAO Response
European Union Food Facility
The Government of Haiti has decided to combine food security and watershed management efforts. Funds from the European Union worth €10 million have been channelled to FAO to support the government's strategy to improve the food security and livelihoods of potentially 300 000 rural households, all of whom live in a large catchment area in the country's north-eastern province.
The two-year project, launched in May 2009, aims to contribute to the growth and diversification of agriculture, livestock and agro-forestry combined with improved natural resources and water management. At the same time, it seeks to build the capacity of local institutions and people living in the area, helping to strengthen their resilience to natural disasters.
The project involves small-scale rural infrastructure activities including: water storage and management (the building of small dams and rainwater catchments in mountain areas, small-scale irrigation and household rain water tanks); anti-erosion measures; rural roads (about 100 km); and improved grain and seed storage.
Small-scale infrastructure work will be done through cash-for-work schemes to generate immediate income for local communities.
Agricultural support for farming families in the upper land regions will be combined with training in sound agricultural practices. Attention will be given to the initiation of land use systems that combine forestry, agriculture and livestock breeding. Support is also being given to help develop household vegetable gardens and to scale up agricultural production, including the cultivation of high value crops.
Improved water availability and groundcover for grazing will increase livestock breeding and pasture management. The project should also help around 6 000 vulnerable families living in coastal areas to develop fisheries and aquaculture activities.
Other FAO activities
FAO initiated a series of emergency programmes in June 2008, and following the season's hurricanes. Soon thereafter, funding levels more than doubled as Haiti's situation became more dire. FAO ISFP-related projects include:

The Daily Star
---- — And so we enter the silly season, the one in which all of us run around like chickens without noggins.
I find the holidays exhausting, frankly. Before I had children, they were full of parties and minimal shopping. That was about it, really.
Yes, there'd also be cooking. I'd make my traditional latkes and bacon at some point in December. On Christmas Eve, I'd make a general nod at the Italian half of my family and prepare as many kinds of fish that I can manage. Which isn't many, because I don't really like fish. And on Christmas itself, my husband and I would have a leisurely brunch of waffles, followed by a little light present opening, and a ham.
Some day, maybe, after the kids have gone, we'll return to those halcyon holidays. But that day is a long way off.
The back half of November and all of December now feels like a mad scramble inside a rugby scrum. Given that we're both academics, we spend the two weeks after Thanksgiving wrapping up the semester, which is like trying to wrap up boulder. There's no good way to get the tape to stick and the bottom never does get covered. By the end of finals, I'm ready to just cement a crumpled bow on it and walk away.
While the end-of-term madness swirls, there's a tree to be found, lugged home, and decorated. Last year, the tree sat naked in the dining room window for two weeks because we lacked the energy to drag the ornaments out of the attic.
The kids are now a big help with decorating. Or, at least, the Diva is. The Boy will hang two ornaments and walk away, mostly because his big sister can't resist informing him that he's done it wrong.
I just realized that this will be our first Christmas tree with a puppy in the house. That sound you heard was weeping.
I will be the first to admit that the tree makes me joyful, once it's done. It's the getting to done that wears me out.
My husband and the Diva did her annual toy purge, where they sort through the accumulated debris and make way for new stuff. This year's was bittersweet, frankly. She was ready to let go of two of her formerly favorite stuffed animals. I'm not sure we're also ready to let them go.
The first to go was Paz, a stuffed penguin. Paz is also a character on the Learning Channel's morning block of kids' programming. He and his friends would go on short adventures, which stitched together the longer blocks of shows, like Peep in the Big Wide World and Hi-5.
It wasn't Paz per se that was hard to let go. Instead, it is hard to let go of the time the Diva and I used to spend curled up on the couch watching these shows.
I miss the simplicity of Hi-5 and the sly humor of Peep. I miss visiting with Brum, which was a British show about a car that must have been cheap to get the rights to. It's hard to say goodbye to that time.
The Diva has moved on to shows that just seem shrill and bratty to adult ears; I'm lookin' at you "ANT Farm." Poor Paz wouldn't even know what to do with himself in this brave new world.
The Diva is also ready to let go of the Jingle Bug and it's his — or her, it's hard to tell with Jingle Bug — loss stings more than I'd expected.
Jingle Bug's arrival was unanticipated. The Diva was an infant and all three of us were at Target, picking up some desperately needed baby supply. She'd had enough shopping and was gearing up for a grade three snit. I grabbed the first toy I saw and handed it to her. Thus, Jingle Bug entered our lives.
He's purple, fuzzy and flat. Along the Bug's body are clear plastic capsules that contain bells. His flappy feet are perfect for sucking on. I've never seen another Jingle Bug, which is too bad because I've wanted to give him to other babies because he was such a big hit with ours.
Jingle Bug nearly didn't make it home with us either because one of his tags was missing. The cashier had to call a supervisor, who had to find the right binder, while the Diva kicked off the meltdown she'd be threatening.
Good times.
Jingle Bug is in a fair number of pictures from that time. We have a few of the Boy and the Bug as well — but they never hit it off to the same level as the Diva and the Bug did.
While the Diva can callously put Jingle Bug in the donate pile, I can't, even though I'm fairly certain another baby would enjoy sucking on his tender toes, after they'd been washed, of course.
I can let Paz go, with only a small sigh. Jingle Bug, however, will be moved to the box in the attic, the one next to the boxes of holiday decorations, which I should get out sooner rather than later.

The Vikings and Ramsey County announced a deal Tuesday for the new Vikings stadium to be built in Arden Hills.
The new stadium's site will be on the former Twin Cities Army Ammunitions Plant property. It will be a 1.6 million-square-foot retractable-roof multipurpose stadium.
The project will cost a total of $1.057 billion. The Vikings will commit $407 million and the state of Minnesota has committed $300 million. According to the press release from Ramsey County, the county will finance its $350 million share with a half-cent sales tax increase.
The city of Minneapolis had proposed a stadium at the site of the Metrodome, projected to cost $900 million. The Arden Hills site costs more because of improvements to transportation options for fans heading to the stadium.
"We are going to bring back the old traditions of tailgating. This is what our fans want and this is what everybody wants to experience," Vikings owner Zygi Wilf said at Tuesday's press conference. The site is estimated to have 21,000 parking spaces.
The Vikings' current home, the Metrodome, is having its roof replaced after it was damaged by a December snowstorm. The Vikings had to play one home game at Ford Field in Detroit and another in TCF Bank Stadium on the campus of the University of Minnesota.

Police last week arrested a Brooklyn Park man for attacking a woman who thought he needed help.
A 24-year-old Cockeysville woman came across Shannon Eugene Hutsler, 38, who was passed out in front of the U.S. Post Office in Cockeysville. It was about 1:45 p.m., on Dec. 4.
"She was being a good Samaritan," said police spokesman Cpl. Cathy Batton.
Read more crime-related stories in the latest Hunt Valley-Cockeysville Patch crime log.
The woman checked to see if Hutsler needed help. When he came to, he began accusing the woman of stealing from him. The two began to argue.
Hutsler, of the 900 block of Victory Avenue in Baltimore, pulled a knife from his pocket "and lunged" at the woman who was trying to help.
The woman avoided Hustler and used her book bag and knocked him to the ground.
"Officers were already in the area," Batton said.
Both the post office and the police precinct are situated next to each other in the 100 block of Wight Avenue.
Hutsler was arrested and charged with first degree assault.

Jeb Burton wins Charlotte pole; second in points
- Last Updated on 07:58 AM 05/20/13
- BY From staff, Turner Scott Motorsports PR Reports
Jeb Burton scored his third pole position in this season's five NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races on Friday, winning the pole for Friday night's 11th Annual North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
The Halifax resident maintained second place in the series points standings, 22 points behind series points leader Matt Crafton, despite a 13th-place finish that resulted after he was forced to make a late-race pit stop to have his team address a vibration issue.
"This was a tough night for my No. 4 Arrowhead/Kangaroo Express team," said Burton.
"I really thought we had the truck to beat, and that was very evident after our qualifying effort. We just couldn't catch a break tonight.
"It was great to have friends, family and a new sponsor, Kangaroo Express, on board, but I wish I could've taken them to victory lane," added Burton.
"My team worked hard. We fought back and managed an okay night in the points, and showed we're not letting anything stop us."
Burton won the Keystone 21 Means 21 Pole Award for the race with a fast lap of 29.773 seconds and 181.372 mph, a lap that was two tenths of a second faster than the rest of the field.
A caution-filled race led to highs and lows for Burton, who had a tough fight on his hands in the late stages of the race.
Fuel strategy was at play when Burton was called to pit road for a splash of fuel under the first caution of the night. After another quick caution flag, Burton restarted third and was soon put in the middle of three-wide racing and he shuffled himself back to the eighth spot to avoid reckless driving by competitors.
Comfortably maintaining a top-10 position on the track, Burton was making faster times than the leaders. Some bad luck hit the Turner Scott Motorsports team's pit-road strategy as a green-flag stop on lap 72 came at the same time a caution was displayed.
Burton was called to pit road for four tires and fuel, and the pit stop forced him to restart from the 19th spot.
By lap 87, Burton was back in the top five. A lap-107 restart following a caution flag had Burton fighting door-to-door with NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Brad Keselowski for position.
Luck changed for the No. 4 Turner Scott Motorsports team on lap 114, when Burton told his crew over the team radio that he felt a strange vibration and needed to come to pit road.
After the issue was fixed, Burton was shuffled back to 16th as laps began to wind down. Determined to come back from adversity and gain as many points as possible, Burton drove hard for a 13th-place finish.
Kyle Busch rebounded from a pit road penalty to win the 200-mile race, with Brendan Gaughan, Max Gresham, Crafton and Ty Dillon rounded out the top five finishers.

Q: On Thanksgiving, dinner rolls with buttered tops were put into a myrtlewood bowl that I love. Since the bowl isn't lacquered, I now have butter remnants all over the bowl. I tried using cornstarch to absorb the residue, but no luck. Any hope for my much-loved bowl?
– Jan Wenrick, Stow
A: Sandy Bolton of Myrtlewood Factory Showroom in North Bend, Ore., said the usual care of myrtlewood involves rubbing it with oil, so re-oiling your bowl might even out the spots. She recommended washing the bowl first with mild soap and water, and then rubbing it with a bit of mineral oil.
If that doesn't work, she recommended lightly sanding the bowl with fine-grit sandpaper and then re-oiling it.

Trade Target Team Profile: Cincinnati Reds
by, 07-05-2012 at 11:30 AM (875 Views)
The Big Picture
The Reds are currently 44-37 and one game behind the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL Central. They are just 1.5 games ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Reds last won a playoff game in 1995 when they beat the LA Dodgers in the Division Series before being swept by the Braves in the NLCS that year. The last time they won a World Series title was a year before the Twins last won one (1990, beating the As in 4 games). The Reds have former MVP Joey Votto, who is also the odds-on favorite to win the award for the second time in 2012.
Why They Will Trade With the Twins
Votto and outfielder Jay Bruce provide a ton of left-handed power. When healthy, Scott Rolen is a nice bat in the middle of the lineup. Todd Frazier got an opportunity this year (due to Rolen injury) and played well enough that they are finding positions for him to play. Brandon Phillips remains one of the better second baseman in the league. However, the Reds should absolutely covet a right-handed power bat in the middle of their lineup. If there is a team that might need OF Josh Willinghams bat more than any others, it would be the Reds. Willingham would slot in well between Votto and Bruce in the middle of the Reds lineup.
If the teams couldnt work out a Willingham trade, the Reds could also be interested in Denard Span. Reds CF Drew Stubbs is a tremendous athlete with great speed and some power, but he is the teams leadoff hitter and he strikes out about every third at bat and is currently posting a .289 on-base percentage. (to be fair, thats affected by his last eight games during which he is 0-28.) Span would get on base a lot more often and he could be a 12-15 home run hitter in the Great American Ballpark.
Finally, with Zack Cozart at shortstop, they may want some depth at that position. Jamey Carroll would make a lot of sense, except the Reds may not want his 2013 contract. Thats why I think that Alexi Casilla could make a lot of sense for the Reds as a utility infielder.
Why They Won't Trade With the Twins
Glen Perkins and Jared Burton are the two bullpen arms that Terry Ryan should be getting phone calls about throughout June. Although any team would like to have them, the Reds may not make sense for either. Burton was one of the top bullpen arms for the Reds until he started having arm problems. They may have some interest in bringing back the talented right-hander, but the Twins asking price should be quite high. Perkins is as good as it gets among left-handers in the bullpen, but the Reds already boast lefties Aroldis Chapman, Bill Bray and Sean Marshall in their bullpen. Although they likely would have interest in Perkins (and his very fair contract), the would have little reason to meet the Twins asking price.
The Reds are a team that have been linked to Francisco Liriano in recent weeks. They currently have a starting rotation of Bronson Arroyo, Homer Bailey, Mike Leake, Mat Latos and (should-be) All Star Johnny Cueto. They gave up a huge package to acquire Latos from the Padres in the offseason, so they may not be able to match offers the Twins get from other teams. Also, the Reds team ERA of 3.46 is fourth in baseball while their rotation is sixth in quality starts.
Despite just three playoff appearances in the past 33 seasons, Cincinnati remains a strong baseball community. They have a strong pitching staff in a small ballpark, so I think that the matches between the Twins and Reds would involve a bat. The Reds are currently 20th in batting average (.247), 22nd in on-base percentage (.313), 12th in slugging percentage (.413) and 17th in runs scored. Span and Willingham would each help the Reds get more runners on base.
The Reds appear to be fighting the Pirates for the division title which has to bring back memories of the 1970s when the two teams often fought for NL pennants. The Reds went to the playoffs six time in the 70s, went to the World Series four times and The Big Red Machine won back-to-back titles in 1975 and 1976. Of course, the St. Louis Cardinals are still likely to make a push as well, which is why I think that the Reds are primed to be quite active at the trade deadline.
Possible Trade Targets
Daniel Corcino - RHP
Corcino is often compared to Johnny Cueto, which by itself is kind of exciting. He will turn 22 in late August. Last year he was 11-7 with a 3.42 ERA in the Midwest League (Low A). In 139.1 innings, he walked just 34 and struckout 156. He skipped Hi-A ball this year, jumping straight to AA. He is currently is 5-4 with a 3.17 ERA. In 88 innings, he has walked 41 and struck out 83.
Billy Hamilton - SS
He has 24 errors right now at shortstop. OK, had to start with the negative because there isnt much of it. You know of him because he already has 101 stolen bases this season (in 122 attempts). He is the fastest man in the minors. He is a Top 50 prospect in baseball and wont turn 22 until September. In High-A this year, he is hitting .322/.413/.439 with 17 doubles, nine triples and a home run. He has walked 49 times and struck out 54 times in 380 plate appearances. Can you imagine a lineup with Hamilton and Ben Revere at the top of it?
Tony Cingrani - LHP
Cingrani was the Reds 3rd round pick in 2011 out of Rice University. He turned 23 years old today. He started this season at High-A and went 5-1 with a 1.11 ERA in 56.2 innings. He walked just 13 and struck out 71. He moved up to AA where he is 3-1 with a 1.75 ERA. In 36 innings, he walked 12 and struck out 47. The Twins obviously scout players at Rice a lot considering they drafted both of their closers this year. Cingrani is a guy who has moved up quickly and could be big league ready early in the 2013 season.
(Note These first three guys are likely unavailable, but if the Twins did send Willingham or Span to the Reds, they should expect one of them in return!)
Kyle Lotzkar - RHP
Lotzkar is just 22 years old. He had Tommy John surgery back in 2009 and is still working his way back, although he has been quite good in 2012. He began by making five starts in Hi-A. He went 3-0 with a 2.39 ERA. In 26.1 innings, he walked 10 and struck out 27. He moved up to AA where he is 4-3 with a 4.72 ERA yet in 55.1 innings, he walked 29 and struck out 58. He throws hard and misses bats. Still just 22 and in AA, he is certainly intriguing.
Didi Gregorius - SS
The 22 year old shortstop was signed from The Netherlands. This year, he is hitting .280/.346/.367 with 11 doubles, six triples and a home run. Believed to be a solid defender with plenty of room for improvement, Gregorius could be an interesting prospect in time.
Please add your thoughts and trade ideas (and other names the Twins could pursue) in the comments below!

Never a peaceful solution
This letter is inspired by the Feb. 4 Associated Press article "Bullying lessens for gay teens, study: Gay men have it worse than lesbian counterparts." I do believe the intended information is positive. However, what I find upsetting is the need to segregate the issue. The abuse and violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people is equally horrific. The impact upon the individual cannot be justified as more or less traumatic or painful.
We all must continue to work hard individually to fight for the issues that we find most passionate within our hearts. Yet collectively we must come together as one human race — equality for all people who have suffered oppression.
Why must it always come down to the boys against the girls? Violence against another human being to create superiority or to dictate biased justice is never a peaceful solution for humanity.

Respect for life declining
As we approach the 40th anniversary of Roe v Wade we need to take a sober look at the devastating results. Fifty-five million unborn babies killed. Abortion interrupts the mother's natural bodily functions, often causing harmful mental and physical side effects. The role of fathers has been sorely down played. Families have been fractured. Society as a whole has been altered dramatically. Economically, millions less taxpayers and Social Security contributors.
The respect for human life has been declining since Roe. Take a good look around you today and you see it in the headlines and in the media. Violence and killing is commonplace. As we wring our hands and ask why, one thing is clear. If you can take the life of an unborn child, why not a born child.
Until we come to terms with that infamous decision on that Black Monday in 1973 it will only escalate. This country at one time embraced the sanctity of human life. I pray that one day it will again.

By Willie Sawyers
LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
There's a war going on at my house. I shiver when I think about how many battles I've lost in this war. I shiver because I'm freezing to death. It truly is a Cold War.
The war has all the elements of a classic struggle between two sides who want opposite things. It has harsh rhetoric, deception, subterfuge, espionage and stealth operations. Violence has been threatened. No shots have been fired yet because, mostly, I've thrown up the white flag.
The front is located in the hallway of our home, about five feet off the floor. It is the scene of daily skirmishes, especially now the weather has changed. For about two years now, my wife and I have been waging war to see which one controls the thermostat.
It is a battle between a menopausal woman who claims she could power a small city with her hot flashes, and a man who gets a chill when he opens the refrigerator.
An example of our latest skirmish: I came home Monday night to find Mary cleaning house and rearranging the furniture. It was about 45 degrees outside and there was a frosty chill in the air. But she had the windows and back door open and the air conditioner going full blast.
It was 64 degrees in the house. The dogs were trying desperately to light a match with their paws. But Mary was flushed and sweaty with an exasperated look on her face. I have seen that look many times before when she cleans the house. At least this time she hadn't shed all her clothes.
I rushed to the bedroom to put on my sweatshirt, fuzzy pants and insulated socks. I glanced at the thermostat to confirm it indeed was freezing inside, but I knew better than to touch it. I've learned that menopause gives women the ability to see and to hear everything, and the disposition to do something about it if they don't like it.
We've tried to have a sensible conversation about the thermostat. I suggested leaving it about 70 degrees all the time. But when she's cleaning or drying her hair or walking through the house, 70 is not cold enough. The thermostat may give out soon from overuse.
Now that fall temperatures have arrived, Mary said we will be saving money by not turning on the heat. That would be true if she didn't leave every light and television on in the house all the time. That's another ongoing battle. But I don't complain about the lights and the TVs because they're my only source of ambient heat.
I do feel sorry when I see the sweat rolling off her. Together we've consulted with Dr. Google about the hot flashes and other effects of menopause. It was disheartening to learn this war could last up to five years.
I'm changing as well. I don't tolerate cold weather like I used to. My hands and feet get cold very easily. I once bought a pair of battery-operated feet warmers.
It's not poor circulation, it's heredity. My Dad was cold all the time. He'd wear a sweater in July. In the winter, he'd go outside to get more wood for the fireplace and his dentures would start chattering. Dad and Mom had several skirmishes about the temperature in the house. She was a hotbox too.
Mary claims it's easier for me to add clothes and blankets to stay warm, so that's what I'm doing. When I go downstairs to my man cave, where it's even colder, I wrap myself up like a mummy with a blanket over my head and one over my feet.
Adding clothes for warm doesn't help in the car though. I've had my knuckles slapped many times attempting to turn up the thermostat in the car. When I travel with her, my dentures would be chattering if I had them.
Early on in the war, I thought about installing one of those electronic thermostats and putting in a pass code so Mary couldn't adjust it. But I knew that wouldn't work. She'd just use psychological warfare and compel/order me to unwrap myself, come upstairs and turn it down.
Sometimes after she's gone to bed, I will slip unnoticed like a Navy SEAL into the hallway and turn up the thermostat just a little. But she notices any increase in the temperature and there's usually hell to pay in the morning. It is then that I ponder, for just a moment, the warmth of Hell.
Mary listened to Dr. Google and got a real doctor to prescribe hormone replacement therapy a few months ago. Since then, the hot flashes have diminished. This morning after a frosty night, she actually said "we may need to turn on some heat."
Seems like a truce in the Cold War may be on the horizon.

Madison's mayor says the city will get its state of the art public pool without more public funding.
Mayor Dave Cieslewicz made the announcement Tuesday morning before a group of first and second-graders at Franklin Elementary School. "The Goodman brothers stepped forward. They've been so tremendously generous right along. They stepped forward, and I can't say enough about what they've done for the community."
March 1 marks the fundraising deadline, but another $300,000 donation by the Goodman brothers closed the budget gap. Irwin and Robert Goodman already donated $2.5 million to the project.
The city's share comes to about $500,000. Construction of the $4.1 million pool at Goodman Park is expected to start this summer.
The Mayor says fundraising for scholarships and pool maintenance will continue.
