Kansas says unemployment rate steady in December

A new report says the Kansas unemployment rate held steady at 6.8 percent in December and the state saw a slight increase in the number of people holding jobs over the year.

Tuesday's report from the state Department of Labor says that overall, about 4,400 more people held jobs last month than in December 2009. The increase is three-tenths of 1 percent.

However small the rise, state officials saw it as a good sign. The department said it was the sixth consecutive month where the number of jobs was slightly higher than during the same month of 2009.

But the unemployment rate was higher than it was in December 2009, when it stood at 6.5 percent. The rates are adjusted to factor out normal, seasonal trends.

It started at random, such partnerships often young, fast connection, limited budgets and big ideas. Back in the summer of 2009, Jacob Krupnick, an aspiring photographer in his mid-20s, pulled a fashion PR firm hired her for a promotional video for a shoe show. He went on Craigslist to recruit 50 dancers (all skills, all ages, all body ") to set up a makeshift studio in the Meatpacking District hot night in July. Payment was a slice of pizza.

Anne was 20 march, that even in the summer recovering from a childhood of great anxiety, Teaneck, NJ: competitive ballet school and performing the "Nutcracker" at Lincoln Center and the pressure to pick the best and leanest en Pointe and IEST-girl in the classroom. Since it does not, the University of the Arts in Philadelphia a year ago, he went rogue, dance-wise, three or four hours a day around the studios in New York City - jazz, modern, tap, salsa, flamenco, belly dancing, break-dancing, West Africa, pole dancing, capoeira - a loan gestures and movements, and cook them in their own unique B-girl bouillabaisse.

Shoot Krupnick came in that night and sweating a little bit confusing, straight from the hip-hop class, wearing sweat pants and a white T-shirt with Dr. Seuss. Krupnick he gave her iPod, cued a song Daft Punk robot or a human, then offered the camera, a five-minute freestyle that mixed high-intensity is high, locks, pirouettes, cartwheels and karate kicks and sensual hip gyrations imaginary stick curling .

Rory Sabbatini keeps it together, wins Honda Classic

For awhile there, I thought we might be looking at a Salute to Greg Norman at the Honda Classic.

Norman, of course, famously blew that six-shot lead on the final day at Augusta, and now here was South Africa’s Rory Sabbatini — wearing a Norman-style black hat — threatening to blow the five-shot advantage he held at the start of Sunday’s final round.

The stakes were much lower, but Sabbatini went from up four shots with six holes to play to clinging to a one-shot lead over South Korea’s Y.E. Yang after the 15th hole.

Sabbatini has a reputation as a bit of a hothead out here on the PGA Tour, so plenty of folks had to be expecting him to complete the meltdown. Instead, Sabbatini drained an 18-foot birdie putt at the par-4 16th to give himself some much-needed breathing room.

That was enough for him to survive a 28-minute weather delay and Yang’s birdie (and near eagle blast from a greenside bunker) at the 72nd hole to squeeze out a one-shot victory.

“He was mentally in it; he showed that today,” said Jerry Kelly, who finished third, 2 shots behind. “He didn’t let his emotions get the best of him. He stayed in there, he stayed positive.”

Kelly, who calls himself a “fairly loose cannon as well,” sounded proud of Sabbatini for playing against character and finishing things off.

“It’s kind of the same [perception] they have of me,” Kelly said. “We’re so much two different people, on and off the golf course. When things aren’t going great for us out here, we’re tough on ourselves. I’ve never tried to get in the way of somebody else, but I tend to get in my own way an awful lot. I think that’s the way Rory is. He gets in his own way an awful lot and rubs some people the wrong way, but he usually has the best intentions for everybody else around him.”

Playing Pepper 2011: Detroit Tigers

After coming within a game of the postseason in 2009, 2010 was a disappointing season for Detroit.  The biggest problem seemed to be the inability to win away from Comerica Park, as the team was +23 at home and, obviously, -23 away from it.  Was this a mirage, a snakebit season that could be reversed easily this season?

Our panel for this panel comes mainly from the distaff side of the species.  First up is Shelly, who writes over at Seamheads as well as having a presence at Switch Hitting Pitchers last season.

Following her is John Parent, the only man in the mix here.  John, the Detroit BBA Chapter president, writes at Motor City Bengals and can be found on Twitter and also over at Facebook.

Rounding out the group is Erin from Tigers Amateur Analysis and Jennifer from Old English D.  No Twitter or Facebook for any of the ladies (Shelly included) and Erin and Jennifer are relatively new members to the BBA.

These questions were sent out before Miguel Cabrera got stopped, otherwise there might been a little different tenor to them.  So dive into the only Tigers preview that won't include the words DUI, at least from the questioner.
