Final Score: Minnesota 2, Calgary 1 (OT)
Calgary, AB (Sports Network) - Martin Havlat's overtime winner with 1:45 left in the extra session led Minnesota to a 2-1 win over Calgary for the Wild's first win at Pengrowth Saddledome in over two years.
James Sheppard also scored for the Wild, who had lost seven in a row at Calgary dating back to March 17, 2007. Niklas Backstrom stopped 22 shots to earn the win, Minnesota's 12th in its last 18 games.
"Tonight, we kept it until the last second," Havlat said. "And I think we played one of the best games of the season."
Aaron Johnson had the lone tally for Calgary, which lost despite a fine effort from Miikka Kiprusoff. The former Vezina Trophy winner stopped 44-of-46 shots in the hard-luck loss -- he made at least 10 saves in each regulation period.
"Kiprusoff gave us a chance to win, and we didn't capitalize on that," said Flames captain Jarome Iginla. "That was the difference."
The Flames had won six of eight coming into the game.
After two scoreless periods to open the contest, the Flames finally opened the game's scoring at the 5:10 mark of the third. Backstrom initially made a save on a Calgary shot in close, but the puck bounced around before being sent out to the point. Johnson grabbed the disc and fired it into the wide-open portion of the net before Backstrom could get in position.
Minnesota then managed to tie the game four minutes later. Shane Hnidy fired a slapshot from the point that missed the net and bounced off the boards to Sheppard, who beat Kiprusoff up high from in close with 10 1/2 minutes remaining.
The game remained tied after regulation, but Havlat gave the Wild the win in overtime.
On an odd-man rush, Havlat sent the disc to the left circle to Marek Zidlicky, who drew Kiprusoff out of the crease before passing it back to Havlat, who fired the puck into the wide-open net for the winning tally with 1:45 left.
The Wild dominated the opening period but couldn't score. Kiprusoff stopped all 19 shots he faced, while Calgary managed just three shots in the frame.
The two teams both registered 10 shots on goal in the second period, but neither scored. Minnesota had a bit over a minute's worth of two-man advantage time, but Calgary managed to fight it off to keep the game scoreless heading into the third.
Game Notes
Johnson tallied his first goal of the season...Minnesota lost five of six to Calgary in 2008-09...The Wild still have only two wins and a tie in their last 17 trips to Calgary.

OCEAN CITY, Md - Ocean City's Play It Safe program is in it's 25th year, helping to keep the so-called June bugs away from drugs and alcohol. High school grads visiting for beach week have been offered more than 50 free and discounted events since May 31st, including paddle boarding, mini golf, and even a wing eating contest! The program also provides free bus rides to keep the teens from driving.
Chairwoman Donna Greenwood says that this summer has actually been pretty quiet. "I don't think the number of kids are here that have been here in the past. I'm not sure what to attribute that to, other than that the economy isn't as good and people's resources are less," she presumed.
But Greenwood says that the program is in fact working. It's been years since the town has reportedly seen a graduate death due to drugs or alcohol. The program end this Tuesday the 17th.

Dame Helen Lydia Mirren, DBE, (born 1945) is an Academy Award-winning English actress.She is known for, among other things, not being shy to shuck her clothes. Like Kate Winslet, she favors characters that are bold and ballsy - much like Mirren herself. Her most famous role to date is the Emmy award-winning DCI Jane Tennison in the long-running, critically acclaimed TV series Prime Suspect.She is also noted for her exquisite taste in clothes. Everyone forgets this for most of the year, so come awards season the media has a collective asthma attack at how gorgeous her dresses are. Then they do it all again the next year.She is the only actress in history to have portrayed both Queens Elizabeth - Elizabeth I in the miniseries Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II in The Queen. She won an Emmy for the former and an Oscar for the latter, surprising absolutely nobody.She is one of the grandes dames of the English stage, alongside Judi Dench and Emma Thompson. Like many of her British cohorts, Mirren put in a stint at the Royal Shakespeare Company.She is of Russian descent, as her grandfather was a Tsarist aristocrat who was stranded in London after the Bolshevik Revolution. Her birth name is Illiana Lydia Petrovna Mironova, which she Anglicised to Helen Mirren. While she does not speak Russian, she is fluent in French.She is perhaps the greatest example of Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have known to man (although ironically she's never had any kids and has, by her own admission, no maternal instincts whatsoever). In 2010's Love Ranch, she became the first major actress to appear nude on film in six different decades (and did a nude-in-the-bathtub photo shoot in New Yorker magazine alongside the film. At age 65!).Has been married to American director Taylor Hackford since 1997.

We readers expect magic when we pick up a Neil Gaiman novel. By now he's built a reputation for his own unique brand of spellbinding fiction, but even among works like American Gods, Stardust and Coraline, The Ocean at the End of the Lane stands as a landmark. Never before has Gaiman's fiction felt this personal, this vibrant or this deeply intimate.
Gaiman's hero is an unnamed narrator who returns to his childhood home as an adult and is flooded with memories of a farm at the end of the English country lane where he grew up. We relive those boyhood memories as he does, beginning with an odd tragedy that brought him to the doorstep of the Hempstock family. There he met 11-year-old Lettie, her mother and her ancient grandmother, who claims she was around when the moon was first made. There he finds a pond that Lettie insists is an ocean. And there he embarked on a strange, mesmerizing and often terrifying adventure that probes the often unreachable corners of human memory, nostalgia and wonder.
Never before has Gaiman's fiction felt this personal.
At fewer than 200 pages, this is one of Gaiman's shortest books, and yet The Ocean at the End of the Lane is overflowing with ambition. As it meanders through ever-thickening layers of magical intrigue—which wrap this book like bright green English moss—the novel becomes something more than a boyhood adventure story. It is a fable about the practicalities and inconsistencies of magic, about the often unreliable powers of memory and about how [Tue Sep 2 10:09:34 2014] enhancedContent.pl: Wide character in print at E:\websites\aquabrowser\IMCPL\app\site\enhancedContent.pl line 249. fear can often make us stronger. All this is imparted through a lightning-quick narrative filled with typically spellbinding Gaiman imagery, and told in unpretentious but endlessly evocative prose. The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a character study trapped in a fairy tale, a coming-of-age story wrapped in the trappings of myth. It's Gaiman at his bittersweet, hypnotic best, and it's a can't-miss book for this summer.
Matthew Jackson reviews from Texas.Copyright 2012 BookPage Reviews.
Versatile and acclaimed author Neil Gaiman targets adult readers in his latest book, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, a spellbinding short novel set in England. The book's middle-aged narrator, who remains anonymous throughout the tale, grew up in Sussex with some very odd neighbors—the Hempstocks: a witchy old woman, a little girl and her mother. When the narrator returns to Sussex many decades later, he finds the old woman and mother at home, just as they were years before, unaltered. The girl, who was gone the last time he saw the family, remains absent. Looking back on his childhood, the narrator recalls his magical involvement with the Hempstocks, who are in reality formidable, ageless figures working to protect the world from an evil supernatural power. With typical skill and imaginative genius, Gaiman combines elements of mythology, mystery and fantasy in an irresistible story that his legions of followers will love. Richly atmospheric and wonderfully original, this is a tale from an author whose inventiveness seems to know no bounds.
David Gilbert's widely acclaimed second novel, & Sons, is a masterfully constructed narrative about a New York novelist coming to terms with the passing of time. Andrew Dyer is adored by the reading public but leads an isolated life. Motivated by the death of an old friend, he's eager for his three sons to forge a friendship with one another. His teenage son, Andy, whose out-of-wedlock conception proved the undoing of Andrew's marriage, is half-brother to his older sons, Richard and Jamie. Richard hopes to become a screenwriter and lives in Los Angeles, while Jamie travels around the world documenting catastrophes. Their story has a few madcap elements, including a fake manuscript and a viral video, but at bottom, it's a profound examination of family ties and the delicacy of human relationships. Gilbert's depiction of Andrew as a reclusive, gruff author is spot-on, and his portrayal of sibling relations is sure to resonate with readers. A shrewd observer of humanity, Gilbert has crafted an engaging family story that fans of Franzen and Chabon will savor.
Khaled Hosseini's beautifully crafted third novel, And the Mountains Echoed, opens in 1952 in Afghanistan, where Saboor, a poor man struggling to survive, sells Pari, his 3-year-old daughter, to a wealthy couple. As subsequent sections of this powerful novel reveal, Saboor's actions directly affect the family members who follow him, including his young son, Abdullah, who is torn apart by the loss of Pari. Hosseini tracks the repercussions of Saboor's decision across five decades, as the action shifts outside of Afghanistan to France, America and Greece. He weaves many different plot strands into this remarkable narrative, controlling them all with remarkable skill and clear intent. A poignant tale of generational ties and the inescapable bonds of kinship, this is an impressive follow-up to Hosseini's previous books, The Kite Runner (2003) and A Thousand Splendid Suns (2007).

Gaiman here departs somewhat from his previous books, instead featuring greater emphasis on investigation of the human condition and a more subdued fantasy element. The main character revisits his boyhood, particularly a series of formative events surrounding his friendship with a girl named Lettie Hempstock. The plot rapidly evolves from reminiscent to scary to downright life-threatening, with profound reflections on mortality inherent in the drama. In this ominous environment, seeming evil is explained as a misplaced desire to please, and the ocean at the end of the lane is a liquid knowledge bath transcending space and time that helps rescue the boy. In fact, Lettie is one of the keepers of the ocean, and she and her family represent caretakers who manage the equilibrium of our world and protect the hapless. As we learn the full extent of our narrator's relationship with the Hempstocks, the absolute necessity of the act of forgetting becomes clear.

"Childhood memories are sometimes covered and obscured beneath the things that come later... but they are never lost for good"--and the most grim of those memories, no matter how faint, can haunt one forever, as they do the anonymous narrator of Gaiman's subtle and splendid modern myth. The protagonist, an artist, returns to his childhood home in the English countryside to recover his memory of events that nearly destroyed him and his family when he was seven. The suicide of a stranger opened the way for a deadly spirit who disguised herself as a housekeeper, won over the boy's sister and mother, seduced his father, and threatened the boy if he told anyone the truth. He had allies--a warm and welcoming family of witches at the old farm up the road--but defeating this evil demanded a sacrifice he was not prepared for. Gaiman (Anansi Boys) has crafted a fresh story of magic, humanity, loyalty, and memories "waiting at the edges of things," where lost innocence can still be restored as long as someone is willing to bear the cost.

Berlin moments: Shah Rukh Khan signs autographs to his fans in Berlin
BOLLYWOOD heartthrob Shah Rukh Khan spoke of his love for Berlin on Friday (October 22) as he presented his new film in the city, which hopes his huge pulling power will lure more Indian tourists to its attractions.
"Every time I come here it's very cold and then I feel the warmth of lovely German bodies against me. I'm really happy to work in this atmosphere," said the superstar at a press conference in a chilly, drizzly Berlin.
"The city is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen. I have been here for two weeks and I don't feel I'm working," he added.
"I'm just happy to be in Berlin. I love it. If you told me to stand up on a tourist bus and dance, I would do it."
Khan is on location in Berlin to shoot his new film, DON-2, billed by producers as a "Bollywood version of Bond."
The film features Khan in his old role as Don, the "unbeatable, unstoppable, smartest, smoothest gangster in the Asian drug world." Viewers are promised "an edge-of-the-seat thriller, with a riveting plot and breathtaking action."
"DON-2 is being shot for 50 days in prominent venues in the German capital, including the stadium that hosted the 1936 "Hitler Olympics" and the East Side Gallery, a long, graffiti-strewn section of the Berlin Wall.
Director Farhan Akhtar said he hoped to introduce a German audience to the Bollywood genre.
"We're not holding back as far as the Bollywood punches are concerned. We are throwing them all. There are many films shot in London, Australia, the US. But it's important to showcase new places. Berlin had it all."
The overall budget of the film was $17m (£10.83m) of which just over half was spent in Berlin. German authorities provided around $2m (£1.27m) to support the film.
Known as "King Khan", the 44-year-old actor is one of the most popular in Bollywood, with millions of loyal fans. He was once nominated one of the world's 50 most important people in the world by Newsweek magazine.
The city of Berlin, already a magnet for film producers, hopes that Khan's star power will encourage other Bollywood productions to be filmed in the capital, in turn boosting tourism from India's burgeoning middle class.
The chief executive of the "visitBerlin" campaign, Burkhard Kieker, said: "DON-2 will be our advertising campaign for India."
"With this film we want to enthuse a multimillion audience for the destination of Berlin and, in this way, secure our breakthrough on the Indian market."
Khan said he was certain the Berlin authorities would get their wish.

Single-seater vehicles are the urban transport of the future, and with that in mind Honda has created its own three wheeled interpretation of what will be clogging our city streets in decades to come.
Due to be unveiled at the upcoming Geneva motor show, the Honda 3R-C is a small, zero-emission vehicle designed with navigating congested city streets in mind. It uses an electric powerplant that is located close to the ground of the three-wheeler's chassis to lower the centre of gravity and boost stability, with the occupant also sitting in a low position to improve balance.

Central and Eastern Europe might not be the first places you think of when it comes to electric cars. In fact, you're probably more likely to think of bad cars, such as the infamous Yugo, dubbed the worst car in history.But times have changed. A few European car enthusiasts have been pushing for clean vehicles made in their own country, addressing the dearth of clean, home-made vehicles in the region. One such company is Hungary's Antro, which is developing a car that splits into two smaller cars, and plans to take it/them to market by 2012, assuming the Mayan prophecies fall through.

With its Flinstone-like principles of human powered transport you'd be forgiven for thinking the new HumanCar Imagine PS (not to be confused with the older model, the FM-4) was just a frivolous one-off. But father and son duo Charley and Chuck Greenwood actually see a real world use for their creation outside of automotive travel.
Using a four gear transmission to convert the physical power of up to four passengers, the Imagine_PS HumanCar is capable of speeds of up to 60mph -- on a slope -- and will apparently propel you towards 35mph in the region of four to six seconds.
But it's HumanCar's ability to store that power and return it for use in everyday situations that makes the HumanCar arguably the most interesting hybrid to date. Continue reading
Raffles offering the chance to win a rare or exclusive car at a fraction of the purchase price have become pretty common in recent years.
Sports car producer Al Melling experienced enormous success when he first dabbled with the idea early last year, offering the chance to win a factory fresh Melling Wildcat -- to the winner's own specifications -- for just £20, but now others have got wise to the format and similar offers are now ten-a-penny. However, charity fundraiser Jim Jablon seems to have found a new way to bring life to the super raffle giveaway by wrapping an alligator over the prize. Continue reading

Who said Porsche wasn't going to make a high performance hybrid? There's nothing higher performance than racing, and racing for 24 Hours on the Nordschleife of the Nurburgring is a special proving ground indeed. Porsche plans to run the 'ring in a 911 GT3 R Hybrid that will have its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
Although Ferdinand Porsche developed the world's first hybrid 110 years ago, the 911 GT3 R Hybrid will not be the first hybrid to race at the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring. That honour belongs to the guys behind the Gumpert Apollo supercar. Continue reading
Eco City Vehicles is rolling out an electric version of the Mercedes-Benz Vito taxi and will field-test the car in London later this year. The slick cab, which looks like a pug-nosed minivan, was developed by a consortium that included Penso, Mercedes-Benz UK and Zytec Automotive.
Eco City, which sells and services taxis, says the eVito will comply with the mayor's proposed clean air standards for taxis. The new regs are set to take effect in time for the London Olympics in 2012.
"The eVito, together with the already popular Vito taxi, provides London with a great opportunity to reduce air pollution with modern vehicles," Peter DaCosta, chief executive of Eco City, said, according to the Telegraph. "We have taken on board Mayor Boris Johnson's wish for a cleaner London and I'm confident this will contribute to meeting his goal." Continue reading

While Richard Branson seems set to dominate space with his planned tourists flights and the seas with the Necker Nymph, a design company has created a "clipper in the clouds" that could rule the skies. Seymourpowell has unveiled the Aircruise concept – "a giant, vertical airship powered by natural energy and designed to carry travellers in style and luxury". While modern jets seem to pack in as many passengers as possible, the Aircruise concept is designed around low passenger numbers and huge internal spaces. Instead of struggling to stretch your legs, passengers will be able to stroll around living, dining and relaxing spaces, and even enjoy the privacy of their own apartment. Continue reading

Curtis Granderson Rumors
Curtis Granderson, Jon Niese Clear Revocable Waivers
Mets outfielder Curtis Granderson and left-hander Jon Niese have cleared revocable waivers and are now eligible to be traded to any club, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. ESPN's Jayson Stark reported last week that Granderson had been placed on revocable waivers.
That the 33-year-old Granderson would clear isn't surprising, as I mentioned following last week's news that he was placed on waivers. He's owed about $50MM from this point through the end of the 2017 season, making it unlikely that opposing teams would jump to add that type of money to their payroll. Still, Granderson has recovered from a woeful month of April to bat a respectable .258/.360/.447 with 14 homers in 88 games since. While he's not looking like a 40-homer threat anymore, those numbers will play in any park, and they're particularly impressive for a hitter that calls the spacious Citi Field his home.
It's more surprising that Niese would clear waivers, as the 27-year-old is controlled through the 2018 season and is in the midst of his third consecutive campaign of a sub-3.75 ERA. Niese has posted a 3.41 ERA with 6.3 K/9, 2.4 BB/9 and a 48.4 percent ground-ball rate in 128 1/3 innings, and his annual salary commitments are rather modest. He's earning $5MM in 2014 (of which roughly $1.34MM remains) plus $7MM in 2015 and $9MM in 2016. His contract contains a pair of more-than-reasonable club options ($10MM in 2017 and $11MM in 2018), both of which come with a mere $500K buyout.
That the Cubs were willing to place a claim on Cole Hamels and the remaining $100MM+ on his contract but elected to pass on Niese (along with every other pitching-hungry team in the game) seems puzzling. As Heyman notes, teams may simply have felt that there was no way the Mets would trade their controllable lefty, which is probably the correct assumption. GM Sandy Alderson has shown a reluctance to move any pieces — even those which could be free agents at season's end or in a year's time — without receiving something significant in return. Last year, he elected to hang onto LaTroy Hawkins at the trade deadline, and this season he showed virtually no inclination to move Daniel Murphy, despite his status as free agent following the 2015 campaign.
I'd imagine the asking price on Niese to be well beyond the comfort level of nearly any interested team, but those clubs will have the remainder of the month to kick around ideas and check in with Alderson. (Of course, a club could acquire Niese in September as well, though he'd be ineligible to pitch in the postseason if acquired after Aug. 31.)
Granderson and Niese are the second pair of NL East players to reportedly clear waivers this afternoon, as USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported that both Ian Desmond and Gio Gonzalez cleared waivers as well. All four will be added to MLBTR's list of players that have reportedly cleared revocable waivers.

Placed On Revocable Waivers: Friday
With the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline behind us, Major League teams must place players on revocable trade waivers in order to deal them to another club. A player that clears waivers can be dealt to any team, while a player that is claimed on waivers can be dealt to that team only (within 48.5 hours) or simply pulled back off waivers. A player can be placed on waivers a second time after being pulled back, but the waivers are no longer revocable the second time.
Here's Friday's rundown of which players have been placed on revocable waivers…
- Both Ichiro Suzuki and Brendan Ryan have been placed on revocable waivers by the Yankees, reports George A. King III of the New York Post. Neither player has hit much this season, with the 40-year-old Ichiro slashing .276/.324/.321 and the 32-year-old Ryan hitting just .214/.263/.257. Both come with good defensive reputations despite their light bats. Ichiro, guaranteed $1.85MM through season's end, is a free agent this winter. Ryan has $568K of this season's $2MM salary remaining and is guaranteed $2MM in 2015 as well. He has a $1MM player option for the 2016 campaign.
- Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports that the Red Sox have placed left-hander Craig Breslow and infielder Kelly Johnson on revocable waivers (Twitter link). Breslow, who turns 34 today, has struggled this year and endured a rough patch of late, surrendering a dozen runs in his past 15 2/3 innings. The typically effective southpaw has been hit hard by both righties and lefties en route to a 5.01 ERA this season. He's owed $1.09MM through year's end, plus a $100K buyout on a $4MM option.
- Johnson, 32, has been on the disabled list since being acquired by the Red Sox in exchange for Stephen Drew at the deadline. He batted .219/.304/.373 with the Yankees this year and is owed $852K through the end of the year. While Johnson is a versatile piece that has in the past offered both power and speed, he's hit just six homers this year. Still, he could serve as a low-cost bench addition to a contending team.
- The Mets have placed Curtis Granderson on revocable waivers, according to ESPN's Jayson Stark (via ESPN New York colleague Adam Rubin). Granderson, 33, is hitting .224/.330/.392 with 15 homers and eight steals in the first year of a four-year, $60MM pact inked with the Mets. He's owed $3.69MM through season's end plus another $47MM from 2015-17, making for a total of $50.69MM remaining on his deal. Granderson got off to a terrible start but is hitting .249/.353/.443 with 14 homers since May 1. Then again, he's also been slumping of late. A claim seems unlikely, given the sizable sum remaining on his contract. If Granderson goes unclaimed, he could be dealt to any team, but that also seems unlikely in the first year of a four-year contract.
- Of note is that Stark also reports that Bartolo Colon has yet to hit waivers, though one would expect that the Mets will run him through the process at some point.

Players Who Have Cleared Revocable Waivers
MLBTR will continue to update this post as players reportedly clear revocable trade waivers, making it a running list of players that may be traded to any club in the season's final two months. Remember though, players must be acquired by Aug. 31 to be eligible for their new team's postseason roster. Click here for a further explanation of the August waiver and trade rules. Also bear in mind that a player's no-trade rights remain effective even if he clears waivers. Player names are linked to the source articles, and this article can always be found under the MLBTR Features portion of the sidebar on the right side of the page.
Last Updated: 8-26-2014
- Trevor Cahill, Diamondbacks — Still owed $12.8MM (including the buyout of two successive club options after next season) on a no-longer-attractive contract, Cahill remains a somewhat intriguing option at just 26 years of age. Though he owns just a 4.54 ERA over 83 1/3 innings on the year, including his first significant stretch of bullpen work, Cahill actually sports a career-best 3.72 FIP.
- Scott Feldman, Astros — In the first year of a front-loaded $30MM contract, Feldman was owed roughly $20.36MM through the 2016 season at the time he reportedly cleared waivers. He's missed a coupled weeks with biceps tendinitis in 2014 but been healthy otherwise and soaked up some innings with a reasonable 4.37 ERA (through Aug. 25) for Houston. He's not an elite arm, but he could have appeal to a team in need of solid innings, particularly if Astros GM Jeff Luhnow were to sweeten the deal with some cash.
- Bartolo Colon, Mets — The 41-year-old Colon was guaranteed $12.77MM through 2015 at the time he cleared waivers on Aug. 25. He's pitched to a 3.82 ERA in 167 1/3 innings, more than justifying the commitment that the Mets made to him as a free agent. Colon's age will scare off some contenders, but he looks the part of an effective starter, and with one year at $11MM remaining after the season, his salary isn't exorbitant.
- Yu Darvish, Rangers – It is somewhat hard to imagine that Darvish's current DL stint for elbow inflammation would be enough to scare away other clubs from the outstanding righty. He has produced stellar results (3.06 ERA with 11.3 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 over 144 1/3 innings on the year), only just turned 28, and is guaranteed a modest $31MM over the next three seasons (though the last year could turn into a player option). The likelier possibility, perhaps, is that other clubs felt it would not be possible to achieve a deal, especially while he is out of action to have his elbow looked at.
- Adrian Beltre, Rangers – If anything, the lack of a claim on Beltre is more surprising (if only because of Darvish's injury situation). The 35-year-old is in the midst of a typically outstanding year, with a .318/.373/.498 slash with 17 home runs and excellent defense. He is owed $34MM over the next two years, which is a large sum given his age. But that is a bargain for his production, and the $16MM salary for 2016 has injury protections built in.
- Elvis Andrus, Rangers – That Andrus was left unclaimed could represent something of a statement on the league's view of his contract. His eight-year, $120MM extension (which includes both opt-out and vesting option provisions) is set to go into effect next season. Just 25, Andrus has not produced offensively either this year or last (.271/.326/.337 cumulative line), and his high-level defense and baserunning are probably not enough on their own to justify his pay level.
- Shin-Soo Choo, Rangers – Choo has thus far failed to live up to the seven-year, $130MM deal that brought him to Texas. He owns a .241/.341/.371 slash in that contract's first year, with 12 home runs and just three stolen bases. While there is time for Choo to rebound, he is promised far too much future cash ($116MM) for another team to have placed a claim.
- Jon Niese, Mets — It's a bit surprising that teams would let a controllable, highly affordable arm like Niese clear waivers. He's owed about $1.34MM through season's end (as of his clearing on Aug. 11) and is guaranteed $7MM in 2015 and $9MM in 2016. Niese's deal contains a $10MM club option for 2017 and $11MM club option for 2018, each with a $500K buyout. He's not an ace, but he's a reliable mid-rotation arm that is on the verge of finishing his third season with a sub-3.75 ERA. The asking price will be sky-high — justifiably so — making a trade unlikely.
- Curtis Granderson, Mets — The Grandy Man has recovered from a slow start to post strong numbers since May 1 (.258/.360/.447 from May 1 through Aug. 11), but the odds of a team taking on the roughly $50MM he has remaining on his deal are slim. It also would set a poor precedent with future free agents if the Mets issued a four-year deal, only to trade him in the first year of the contract. Don't expect a trade.
- Ian Desmond, Nationals — That Desmond would clear is surprising, but it's likely that the other 29 clubs knew that GM Mike Rizzo wouldn't deal his shortstop in the midst of a playoff push anyway. Desmond is earning $6.5MM in 2014 and $11MM in 2015 before being eligible for free agency, so he'd have plenty of trade value. An in-season trade would be shocking, however, with the Nats fighting for a division title.
- Gio Gonzalez, Nationals — Gonzalez is controlled relatively cheaply through the 2018 season ($23MM guaranteed through 2016 plus a pair of $12MM options), making it a virtual lock that he's not going anywhere prior to season's end. With four years of control, he could fetch a haul in the offseason, but teams are rarely willing to move an established starter with that type of control. He's extremely likely to be a National again in 2015.
- Kevin Correia, Twins — The Twins sent Correia through waivers at the beginning of the month, as he had reportedly already cleared by the time the Dodgers acquired him on Aug. 9. The Dodgers are on the hook for the remaining $1.5MM on his contract, and he'll be a free agent at season's end.
- Alex Rios, Rangers — Rios is owed roughly $3.62MM through season's end (as of Aug. 7) as well as a $1MM buyout on next year's $13.5MM club option. While he's enjoyed a decent season at the plate, a good deal of his slugging percentage comes from a high number of triples, rather than his usual contribution of double-digit home runs. ESPN's Buster Olney tweeted that teams are wary of Rios' declining home run power, so the Rangers have some obstacles in trying to work out a trade for their right fielder.
- Jonathan Papelbon, Phillies — Papelbon cleared waivers on Aug. 6, to the surprise of very few, given the fact that he is owed $13MM in 2015 and has a vesting option for the 2016 season. Papelbon's ERA and K/BB numbers remain appealing, but he's survived with an abnormally low BABIP while seeing his average fastball velocity diminish to 91.4 mph. He has a limited no-trade clause but has said he'd waive those rights to join a contender. Philadelphia would have to eat some salary in order to facilitate a deal, however.
- Matt Kemp, Dodgers – Though Kemp has shown flashes of returning to his prior form at the plate, he is owed too much money after this year ($107MM) and comes with too many questions (injuries, defense) to warrant a claim. In any event, the Dodgers seem disinclined to trade him.
- Andre Ethier, Dodgers — If any Dodgers outfielder were to move, Ethier might be the likeliest option, but a .672 OPS won't be appealing to interested parties. Even less appealing, however, will be the $56MM he is guaranteed following the 2014 season. That number could rise even further as well, as 550 PA in 2017 would trigger a $17.5MM vesting option ($2.5MM buyout). Clearly, L.A. would have to pay a significant portion of Ethier's salary to move him, as his production in 2014 has been near or below replacement level (depending on your preferred version of WAR).
- Carl Crawford, Dodgers — The 33-year-old Crawford may be even more untradeable for the Dodgers, as he's owed $62.5MM beyond the 2014 season and is hitting just .236/.271/.341 in what has been an injury-riddled season. The Dodgers have motivation to move at least one of their overpriced outfielders, with top prospect Joc Pederson likely ready to make the move to the Majors, but they'll be hard-pressed to do so.
- Josh Beckett, Dodgers — Owed a much more reasonable $4.73MM (as of Aug. 5), Beckett is a more desirable commodity for interested parties. However, he's currently occupying a slot in L.A.'s rotation, and he's produced a surprisingly excellent 2.88 ERA with 8.3 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 in 112 innings this season. The contending Dodgers don't seem likely to deal from their rotation depth. The loss of Paul Maholm to a torn ACL has already weakened their rotation depth.
- Brett Gardner, Yankees — Gardner is owed $50MM from 2015-18, and the Yankees weren't likely to have given any serious consideration to dealing him anyhow. The speedster has shown more power than ever this season and has been New York's most valuable position player. He's staying put.
- Martin Prado, Yankees — Owed $11MM in 2015 and in 2016, Prado's salary and struggles with the bat have combined to offset a great deal of the value his versatility provides to his team. The Yankees acquired Prado just minutes before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, so it seems unlikely that they'd move him this quickly.
- Stephen Drew, Yankees — Drew is owed about $4.24MM from Aug. 5 through season's end, making it unsurprising that a team neglected to claim him on waivers. His bat showed some life in July and in early August, but the impending free agent's overall numbers are pretty woeful. Another two or three weeks of solid offense could make him a trade candidate if the Yankees fall out of the playoff picture, however.
Note: This is not a complete list of all players to have cleared revocable waivers. Many players are placed on waivers and pass through unclaimed without ever going reported. This is merely a list of the names that have reportedly cleared waivers according to major media outlets around the game.

New York Notes: Reynolds, Logan, Gardner, Mets
Earlier today the Mets introduced Curtis Granderson at a press conference. Here's the latest news out of the New York market with the Winter Meetings in full swing…
- Yankees GM Brian Cashman spoke to several reporters today, including MLB.com's Bryan Hoch, and noted that he's been in contact with the agents for Mark Reynolds and Boone Logan (Twitter link).
- Hoch also tweets that the Yanks are receiving many calls on Brett Gardner but aren't shopping him. Cashman said he didn't sign Jacoby Ellsbury to trade Gardner.
- The Star-Ledger's Andy McCullough tweets that in addition to Gardner, the Yanks have received calls on Ivan Nova, Gary Sanchez and J.R. Murphy (Twitter link).
- Cashman also said that Michael Pineda is healthy and will compete for a rotation spot in Spring Training (Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News tweeting).
- Hoch adds that Cashman thinks it will be easier to sign a free agent pitcher than to work out a trade for rotation help.
- Newsday's David Lennon reports that the Mets will meet with the representatives for Freddy Garcia, Cesar Izturis and Johan Santana today (Twitter link). The team sees a good fit with that group of veterans.
- Granderson confirmed to reporters, including Newsday's Marc Carig, that the Mets were the lone team to offer four years (Twitter link).

Mets Sign Curtis Granderson
The Mets have officially signed Curtis Granderson to a four-year deal, the team announced today. Granderson's new contract, which doesn't include a no-trade clause, will pay him $13MM in 2014, $16MM in 2015 and 2016, and $15MM in 2017, for a total of $60MM overall. Granderson is represented by agent Matt Brown of Pro Prospects, Inc.
Granderson, 33 in March, would likely have been in for a bigger payday had it not been for a fluke season that saw him miss 100 games on the DL as a result of getting hit by a pair of pitches. When he was on the field, The Grandy Man batted .229/.317/.407 with seven homers and eight steals in 245 plate appearances.
However, the Mets are likely paying for the production that Granderson displayed in the 2011-12 seasons, during which he batted .247/.342/.522 with an MLB-best 84 home runs. Many detractors will try to claim that Granderson is a product of Yankee Stadium, but as I explained in my free agent profile, that's simply not the case; Granderson belted 47 homers at Yankee Stadium in 2011-12 but still went deep 37 times on the road. He benefited to an extent from Yankee Stadium, but as shown by his .244/.339/.493 line on the road, Granderson is more than capable of hitting in other stadiums. Those concerned about his platoon splits can look to his .249/.351/.521 batting line and 127 wRC+ against left-handers from 2011-12. I projected a three-year, $45MM contract in that profile, meaning that Brown and Granderson topped my expectation by getting a fourth year at the same annual value.
Granderson figures to play an outfield corner in Queens, with Juan Lagares manning center field and Chris B. Young (who signed a one-year, $7.25MM contract with the Mets) handling the other corner spot. In Young and Granderson, the Mets have added some much-needed power to their lineup while also adding solid outfield defense. Granderson's glove graded out strongly in 2013, and the move to a corner should help him continue to post strong defensive numbers,
The Mets emerged as the top suitors for Granderson in previous days but were previously reported to be unwilling to up their offer from three years to four. By signing Granderson, the Mets are agreeing to forfeit their second-round pick in next year's draft (their first-rounder is protected). Special assistant J.P. Ricciardi told me at last month's GM Meetings that the Mets would be willing to make that move for the "right" player, but that signing two free agents tied to draft pick compensation was unlikely.
Granderson was also linked to the Red Sox as a possible replacement for Jacoby Ellsbury and said to have drawn interest from teams like the Mariners and Orioles. The Yankees, of course, had interest in retaining Granderson as well. Instead, they will receive a compensatory pick between the first and second round of the 2014 draft — the second such pick they've acquired today, given the news that Robinson Cano is headed to Seattle on a ten-year deal.
The agreement was first reported by Joel Sherman of the New York Post (on Twitter), with Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports adding terms (Twitter link) and Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (Twitter links) adding further details.

White Sox Notes: Sale, Quintana, Santiago, Uribe
The White Sox are open to discussing trades for Chris Sale, Jose Quintana and Hector Santiago, reports Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. Morosi notes that Sale, who can be controlled for a whopping six years at just over $55MM, would command significantly more than even David Price could net the Rays. Morosi runs down a list of several reasons as to why it could make sense for the ChiSox to move their ace this offseason. Here are a few more links pertaining to the South Siders…
- Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago spoke to White Sox GM Rick Hahn this morning (Twitter link). Hahn told Hayes that he wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't at least listen to offers, but he would need an "unfathomable" return to part with Sale.
- One GM told Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports that he thinks teams are pushing the White Sox to reconsider their unwillingness to part with Sale when asked this morning (Twitter link).
- The White Sox are in the process of trying to bring Juan Uribe back to Chicago, reports David Vassegh of FOX Sports 570 AM Radio in Los Angeles (on Twitter). Uribe would fill a need for the Sox, though as GM Rick Hahn told me at last month's GM Meetings, his team prefers left-handed bats.
- The White Sox never got involved on Chicago native Curtis Granderson, tweets Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. The Grandy Man signed a four-year, $60MM deal with the Mets last week.

Notes On Granderson, Beltran, Napoli
Robinson Cano's blockbuster contract with the Mariners has generated the most headlines, but on another wild day of free agency, there's plenty of more news to go around. Here are some stray items about three of Friday's other major signings — Curtis Granderson's four-year deal with the Mets, Carlos Beltran's three-year deal with the Yankees and Mike Napoli re-signing with the Red Sox for two years.
- The fourth year seemed to be the sticking point between Granderson and the Mets, but GM Sandy Alderson made the decision on Thursday night to offer the extra year and received approval from ownership, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports (all Twitter links).
- Granderson gives the Mets a much-needed outfield bat, ESPN's Keith Law writes, though with Granderson already showing signs of decline, Law figures the Mets are only really counting on him to produce in the first two years of his deal. 2015 could be the key year, as it appears the Mets are looking to contend once Matt Harvey is back from Tommy John surgery.
- Also from Law, he thinks Beltran improves the Yankees lineup but it's a risky three-year commitment to a player entering his age-37 season. An ESPN Insider subscription is required to read Law's pieces.
- The Royals were rumored to have been the mystery team who made Beltran a three-year, $48MM offer earlier this week but a source tells ESPN's Jayson Stark that those rumors were "not accurate." Kansas City's trade for Norichika Aoki on Thursday seemed to be a sign that they had moved on from the Beltran sweepstakes.
- That larger offer could have come from the Diamondbacks, as Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports that the D'Backs offered Beltran a three-year deal worth more than the $45MM he received from New York. The signing would have boosted Arizona's payroll, and Piecoro wonders if the Snakes are willing to surpass the $100MM-payroll threshold to fill their needs this winter, or if they were just focused on Beltran in particular.
- Several members of the Red Sox roster urged the front office to up its offer to Napoli from two years/$30MM, WEEI.com's Rob Bradford reports. The players were responding to a rumor that the Rangers had made an offer "too good for Napoli to refuse," and the Sox indeed upped their offer to $32MM. The raise and the support from his teammates was enough to sway Napoli, who was already preferring to stay in Boston anyway.
- The Rangers actually never made a formal offer to Napoli, one source told Bradford.

New York Notes: Granderson, Aoki, Choo
Free-agent outfielder Curtis Granderson wants four years and $64MM, Newsday's Marc Carig reports. The Mets are interested in Granderson, but they don't want to offer a fourth year. Mike Puma of the New York Post, meanwhile, tweets that Granderson and the Mets probably won't be able to work out a deal tonight. Here are more notes from New York.
- The Mets were interested in Brewers outfielder Norichika Aoki, reports FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal (on Twitter). The Brewers, however, liked pitcher Will Smith more than a player like Mets first baseman Ike Davis, so they shipped Aoki to the Royals instead.
- If Robinson Cano goes to the Mariners or some other team, the Yankees could pursue Shin-Soo Choo instead, USA Today's Bob Nightengale tweets. The Yankees, of course, already have plenty of outfielders, with Alfonso Soriano, Brett Gardner and Ichiro Suzuki in addition to newcomer Jacoby Ellsbury, but after Cano, Choo is the next-best position player on the market.
- Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner says the Yankees are still hoping to keep their luxury-tax figure under $189MM, but they'll also prioritize fielding a strong team, Andy McCullough of the Star-Ledger reports. Steinbrenner says that the Yankees' offense was its "Achilles heel" in 2013, and they'll continue to look for hitting, as well as trying to re-sign starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda.

Granderson Seeking Four Years, $64MM
Yesterday it was reported that talks between Curtis Granderson and the Mets have intensified, and the Mets are becoming increasingly optimistic about their chances to land him. The Red Sox reportedly haven't ruled him out. The Diamondbacks, though they strongly desire a corner outfield bat with some power, aren't likely to be able to afford him. We'll keep track of today's Granderson rumors here…
- The Mets believe they have a "decent" chance at signing Granderson but have yet to up their offer from three years to four, tweets Mike Puma of the New York Post.
Earlier Updates
- Newsday's Marc Carig reports (via Twitter) that Granderson has been seeking a four-year deal worth $16MM annually. Carig goes on to clarify that the Mets aren't necessarily discussing a number that high at this time, but rather that $64MM is simply what Granderson is aiming for this offseason.
- A guaranteed fourth year is still up for debate in Granderson negotiations, tweets Andy Martino of the New York Daily News. In a second tweet, he adds that the Mets may have to go four years to land him but aren't resigned to that yet.
- Granderson's talks with the Mets are more advanced than they are with other teams, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Other teams remain in the mix, however.
- Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald tweets that the Red Sox are more interested in right-handed outfield bats to complement Jackie Bradley Jr., so they don't see Granderson as a great fit.

NL Notes: Mets, Nats, Reds, Samardzija, Rockies, D-Backs
Here are the latest updates from the National League side of the ledger:
- The Mets are increasingly expressing optimism about their efforts to bring Curtis Granderson into the fold, reports Marc Carig of Newsday, though nothing appears to be immiment. Joining the Mets in pursuit of Granderson are the White Sox and Mariners, tweets Mike Puma of the New York Post. If that does not work out for New York, says Puma, the club will "likely" turn its attention to Nelson Cruz.
- After parting ways with two left-handed relief options in Fernando Abad and Ian Krol, the Nationals remain interested in adding Oliver Perez, tweets Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post. Kilgore says that the Mariners and Padres also have interest in the 32-year-old southpaw, who pitched to a 3.74 ERA in 53 innings last year for Seattle.
- Echoing previous reports, Reds GM Walt Jocketty says that the club has told second baseman Brandon Phillips that it is "not in any talks to trade him," reports MLB.com's Mark Sheldon. Though Jocketty also noted that he could not rule out that possibility, he definitely left the impression that he is not actively shopping Phillips.
- Jocketty also indicated that the club is likely going to keep Aroldis Chapman in the closer role rather than converting him to a starter, reports Sheldon. Though Cincinnati will keep the starting option on the table in the spring, Jocketty said that the club likes its depth at the present. As MLBTR's Charlie Wilmoth wrote at the start of the off-season, the Reds could tinker with their rotation, but lack a pressing need to do so.
- Though the latest scuttlebutt has Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija marked for trade talks, club president Theo Epstein says that the club still hopes to extend him, tweets Carrie Muskat of MLB.com. Of course, Chicago could certainly be keeping both options on the table for the time being.
- After trading away center fielder Dexter Fowler, the Rockies plan to shift Carlos Gonzalez over to fill the vacancy, reports the Associated Press (via ESPN.com). Meanwhile, the club is still shopping for relief pitchers, reports the Denver Post's Troy Renck (via Sulia), and may be most likely to add a bullpen arm via trade.
- The Diamondbacks are still looking to add a major piece, reports Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic, and GM Kevin Towers has indicated that the club would be willing to give up its first-round draft choice to sign a free agent who turned down a qualifying offer. Towers indicated that the club is most likely to add a starter via trade, leaving Piecoro to posit that the most likely open-market targets would be Granderson, Nelson Cruz, or Carlos Beltran.
- Meanwhile, the D-Backs could be much more willing to deal pitching prospect Tyler Skaggs than they had been in the past, Piecoro writes. In fact, the club apparently recently explored just that possibility. Coming off of a down year that saw his velocity drop, however, the 22-year-old probably also has diminished trade value at the moment, Piecoro further notes.

Burnout tees
The classic T-shirt is looking totally tattered, thanks to a "burnout" texture that causes the fabric to appear worn and uneven. Mass-market brands like Alternative Apparel ($35; alternativeapparel.com) started this craze, and celebrity favorites such as Fluxus ($63-$72; fluxusbrand.com) have helped it to boom. The treatment of the tees gives them a butter-soft feel and semisheer appearance — perfect for a peekaboo effect in case you want to slip a colored tank underneath.
Distressed denim
From acid washes to rips and even paint streaks, destroyed denim is back en vogue. Whether you want to lighten up with a pair of bleached-out baby blues or opt for jeans that are just a few holes away from needing to be patched, pulling on a pair of imperfect jeans offers an effortless edge.
Both Siwy Denim's splatter-painted-looking Wow wash ($189; singer22.com) and Current Elliott's collection of roughed-up styles (shopbop.com) have become instant hits in Hollywood. Even the legendary Levi's touts a variety of "aged to perfection" styles ($69.50-$248; us.levi.com), while Express offers fabulous affordable fades ($79.50, Express.com).
Broken-in boyfriend chinos
You may want to think twice before tossing your worn weekend wear, because the distressed-denim trend is transitioning into other items, too. Perfectly placed holes, snags and other simulated battle scars seem to be the accent du jour on some of spring's pricey designer duds. Even preppy and proper J.Crew offers a broken-in version of their ever-popular chino pant ($69.50; jcrew.com). Contrast is key to pulling off a battered piece. A soft and sweet blouse or hot pair of heels will add an unexpected chic twist.
Cutting-edge accents
From frayed hems to hobo handbags and boho boots with fringe, things are rough around the edges this season. You can swing into style with a few of these standouts: Juicy Couture's woven raffia floppy hat, William Rast ruffle vest, Free People's hoodie, James Perse jacket ($85-$209, Nordstrom.com), Victoria's Secret beach linen trouser shorts ($34.50, VictoriasSecret.com), and Love Quotes' boyfriend scarf ($88; unusualthreads.com).
Dirty sneakers
While it certainly hasn't hit the mainstream yet, the latest way to wear the worn-in look is with dirty sneakers! That's right — some sneaker companies are actually creating kicks that look beat up before you buy them. Brands like Common Projects ($335; commonprojects.com) are among the first to muddy their hands with this messy-looking trick. Now if only someone would invent footwear that also feels worn in, so your feet don't hurt the first few times you wear them!

|Spencerville on hold for demolitions
|Monday, March 17, 2014 8:00 PM
Staff Writer
SPENCERVILLE — In Village Administrator Sean Chapman's report to council, read by Mayor P. J. Johnson, Chapman detailed that the plans to demolish two properties within the village — one at 210 S. College St. and one at 205 S. Elizabeth St. — is still on hold.
As reported during the Feb. 3 meeting, the demolitions, which are to be financed through the Moving Ohio Forward Grant Program (MOFD), were postponed due to the processes not being complete. The total estimated cost of demolition for the properties is $12,700; the village will pay a 10-percent administration fee and the grant is $11,682. The approximate total village share should be around $2,288; $1,261.50 for 210 S. College and $1,026.50 for 205 S. Elizabeth. Chapman is working with MOFD to clean up the ownership mess at the Elizabeth Street property so it can be demolished.
Recently, Chapman received notice that 210 S. College St. was sold to Bob Leis for $10,000. In a subsequent conversation with Leis, Chapman found his intent is to renovate the property and then rent it out.
Chapman received a Resilience Report regarding the Areas of Mitigation Interest (AoMI) — areas identified as being prone to flooding — within the village. He said these areas are isolated to the southeast quadrant of town and follows the ditch through town. As discussed during prior meetings, the village has no documented floodplains.
"The entire county was reviewed and updated to determine changes in floodplain locations," Johnson explained.
The village has taken steps to join the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP); although they have no floodplains, it will allow residents the opportunity to purchase flood insurance if they choose.
Johnson also reminded council that fire hydrant flushing will occur beginning April 20 and last through May 2 and will be done the third-shift hours.
"Customers should experience fluctuating pressures and discolored water during this event," Johnson detailed. "Notices will be placed on the April water bill, village website, Facebook and The Journal News."
Additionally, Chapman said he and Richard Kirk of Kirk Bros. Inc. will have a meeting later this week to discuss the water treatment plant timeline. Both the village and Kirk are optimistic about the timeline.
"Residents will start seeing the erection of the building and then the equipment will soon follow," Johnson said.
Council members passed two new resolutions during the council meeting. The first was a resolution authorizing the mayor to enter into agreement with Kohli & Kaliher for professional services related to the 2014 Ohio Public Work Commission Street Program. K&K will be responsible for putting together the bid documents, assisting with the bid opening, reviewing bids and recommending a contractor. They will also assist with the inspection of the project.
Council members suspended the rules and passed on its first reading the resolution in support of State Issue I, renewal of the State Capital Improvements Program on the May 6 ballot.
"Sean (Chapman) has previously talked about this," Johnson said. "It's for improvement to our infrastructure and resolutions to show the community how important it is."
Councilmen Greg Hover asked if there was any new information on the transmission lines and the windmills in Lincolnview.
"The port authority proposed leasing land in eastern Ohio for the transmission lines," Johnson said. "I have not heard any news on the subject."
Johnson reported that Chapman had a meeting with Activate Allen County — who promote healthy lifestyles — where they talked about facilitating a mobile produce bus that will set up in the village once a month and sell low-cost fresh produce. Plans are still in the works and tentatively, the mobile unit is set to be in the area during the mornings from 9 a.m. to noon. More details will be released at a later time.
"With our lack of a grocery store, this will be a great opportunity," Johnson said. "They make eight to 10 stops in Lima during the season and want to spread their outreach."
Police Chief Darin Cook said with the weather getting nice, he wants to remind drivers to pay more attention to the kids, especially those on bikes.
"They have been cooped up, have cabin fever and don't look when they cross the street," Cook warned. "Drivers also need to pay attention to speeding and rolling stops."
Cook reported other than a faulty headlight on one of the cruisers, everything was running smooth.
