Spring Training preview
Edinson Volquez: It's too close to call between him and Bailey for the fifth spot in the rotation. But with an arm like his, we see him making the team. YOU KNOW IT'S A GOOD SPRING IF ... ... Jeremy Affeldt has hitters swinging and missing his change-up. If Affeldt can re-master the changeup, he'll probably be in the rotation. Last year with Colorado, he pitched exclusively out of the bullpen and relied on his two best pitches - fastball and curve. Two pitches are not enough for a starter. Affeldt making the rotation does two things for the Reds: Gives them a lefty and lessens the pressure on the young pitchers. ... Ryan Freel (above) runs like Ryan Freel. Freel is coming off knee surgery - the second on his right knee. Freel's game largely depends on speed, so he has to show he still has that speed to be effective.

Editorial - McCain, Obama bank on Wisconsin
Winning Wisconsin gives candidates the bright glow of electability. That's because the Wisconsin primary is the closest thing to a general election as the primary season can deliver.It's easier to vote in Wisconsin. We allow same-day registration at the polls, and voters don't have to declare allegiance to a specific political party. That means independent voters like me, who couldn't stomach the idea of publicly identifying ourselves as a Republican or Democrat, have as much control as the party faithful in picking party winners.In fact, the largest segment of voters in Wisconsin 40 percent are those who consider themselves politically independent, a recent statewide poll of 600 residents suggests. .
Much ado about next to nothing
She thought the skin of her face was ever less taut, more wrinkled. She remembered not looking old, not being old, not feeling so cold. She remembered a child's laughter. She started when the pounding returned. She smiled at him. She put her hand to the window as if to reach him, to touch his head. She turned to the assistant and walked with him back through the metal doors to the nurses station. The assistant retrieved her bags and handed them to her. These are for you, she said. Merry Christmas, and thank you for your care. She picked into the bag, handing the nurse and the assistant small, wrapped gifts. She handed the nurse the bag. The other gifts are marked for patients and staff. Please see to them? The two bigger packages are for him. She nodded toward the banging. Boxing gloves.
