GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) ? Instead of closing for the Cincinnati Reds, Ryan Madson will miss the 2012 season because of a torn ligament in his right elbow.

Madson returned to Cincinnati and was examined by team medical director Dr. Timothy Kremchek. The Reds said Saturday that Kremchek told general manager Walt Jocketty the ligament was torn from the bone of Madson’s right elbow.

“We talked to the team. We all have to stay positive,” Jocketty said. “We have alternatives internally that we will sort through in the next few days.”

Madson agreed in January to a one-year contract guaranteeing $8.5 million, after a $44 million, four-year deal to stay with Philadelphia collapsed in November.

The 31-year old reported discomfort in his elbow at the start of spring training but insisted it was an annual ailment that he had always worked through. He didn’t pitch in any exhibition games.

Madson pitched batting practice Tuesday and had been scheduled to throw again on Friday.

“He looked very good on Tuesday. He felt some tightness the next day,” Jocketty said. “He felt fine all spring until lately. Even after he sat out for a little bit and came back he felt real good. After the live session the other day it felt tight but even when he left the other day, he felt fine.”

Dr. Kremchek explained to Jocketty that bleeding made it appear the tear was recent.

Madson’s contract calls for a $6 million salary this year, of which $2 million is deferred until Nov. 1 and $2 million until Nov. 1, 2013. The agreement includes a $11 million mutual option for 2013 with a $2.5 million buyout.

Madson saved 32 games in 34 chances last year for the Phillies and was to have replaced Francisco Cordero as the Reds’ closer.

Sean Marshall, obtained from the Chicago Cubs in December, becames a leading candidate for closer. Hard-throwing Aroldis Chapman could be shifted to a bullpen role.

“Those are some of the things we’ll sort through in the next week or so,” Jocketty said.

Finding answer to all your debt problems isn?t an easy thing to do. Although you keep ignoring all the advices given before hand to ensure that you don?t fall in debt, once you incur debt you realize how difficult it is to escape from its clutches. Although you can try on your own to get out of debt by practicing frugal living and livings within your means along with saving money, at times this may not be enough to lead you out of your debt woes. At such times you can opt for various debt solutions offered by professional debt relief companies. Debt consolidation and debt settlement are two such solutions used in different situations of debt. Read on to know about these two methods and how they can help you in coming out of your debt.

• Debt consolidation ? This is the most popular debt relief solution. You can consolidate your debts to pay them off if you have multiple credit card debts or unsecured installment loans with high interest rates and you are being able to make just the minimum monthly payment on them. debt consolidation is a process which will help you to pay back your debts faster by reducing the interest rate on your outstanding debts and also merging your multiple debt payments into a single monthly payment. You can enroll in a debt consolidation program offered by a debt consolidation company to accomplish the process. As a part of the program you are provided with a negotiator. this negotiator will evaluate your economic condition carefully and then decide upon a monthly payment that will be easy for you to make. Then he will negotiate with your creditors and ask them to reduce the interest rates on your debts. thus you will be able to make lower monthly payments to get out of debt and save money in the long run.

?

• Debt settlement ? This process can be used by you if you are having problems in making even the minimum monthly payments on your debt and you have missed one or two debt payments already. Debt settlement is a forceful method of debt relief where the debt relief company from which you are seeking help negotiates with your creditors to reduce the total amount of your outstanding debt altogether. Depending upon your debt situation and the flexibility of your creditors, your debts can be reduced from 40% to 60%. Also the debt settlement company builds a debt settlement fund for you from the money that you provide them at the beginning of every month. This settlement fund is used to pay your creditors a lump sum amount after the settlement process is over.

Thus you can see how these two processes can help you to pay off your debts.

OSU is Obama?s next stop after visits to Nevada, New Mexico and Oklahoma to discuss his ?All the Above? energy strategy,?oil and gas development and fuel economy, according to a White House press release.

Obama will tour OSU?s advanced-energy related research and development facilities and then speak in the RPAC, White House officials said.

Attendees can enter through the main entrance of the RPAC.? Doors open at 2:15 pm and the event starts at 4:30 pm.

?This is just such an honor to see and hear a sitting President of the United States and it is a really great showcase for Ohio State, student life, and rec sports, and we?re really excited about this,? said?Don Stenta, director of?recreational sports for the?Office of Student Life.

Obama visited OSU?s campus?for a rally in 2010 and spoke to students on the Oval about his movement of change. About 35,000 students filled the Oval to hear the President speak in his?previous visit.

Obama?s Thursday visit is a free event for students and the public hosted by the White House staff. Anyone who plans to attend the event must have a ticket.

?We?re really fortunate to have a new facility, one that provides ample opportunity for flexibility,? Stenta said.

Despite students? absence on campus during spring break, about 800 students lined up Wednesday inside the Ohio Union and extended outside onto High Street to get a ticket for the president?s visit. OSU students were able to get two tickets?per BuckID.

Kaila Walker, a second-year graduate student in business administration, and Ebony Hodges, a first-year graduate student in business administration, arrived at 6:45 a.m. and were first in line to claim a ticket.

?This is my first opportunity to really see President Obama, so that?s why I?m here. I?m really excited,? Hodges said. ?I have family members who have been to see him and waited in line for three or four hours as well. I am just ready to hear him and see him and learn to see what he has to offer.?

Walker said she was at OSU during his 2010 visit, but was unable to attend. Walker will be attending Thursday?s event.

?He?s been here probably a couple of times within the last year, and I?ve always been busy with homework, or grad school things,? Walker said. ?It is nice that he?s here, and we?re on Spring Break and I have time to go see him.?

The Union released tickets to students at noon, and by 12:50 p.m., tickets were sold out.? The Union released tickets set aside for the public community and faculty at 6 p.m. During the second distribution, faculty, community members, and students could only get one ticket per person.

Some?students waited in the Union until 6 p.m. to try and get a ticket when distribution became open to the public. Sam Abrha, a third-year in finance, waited since 11:30 a.m. and was one of the first to receive his ticket during the second distribution.

?I was disappointed. I feel like they could have did a better job with estimation. Like instead of giving each student two, only giving each student one,? Abrha said.

Abrha said he is looking forward to seeing Obama tomorrow.

?It?s like a dream come true (to see Obama). I am not really going to see Obama for the content of his speech. I take a communication class and we talked about how he was one of the best rhetoric speakers, so I kind of want to see his charisma first hand.?

Few tickets were still available after the second release.

Dave Isaacs, communications and media relations manager for the?Office of Student Life, said that this event was business as usual for the Union staff, and that ticket distribution went smoothly.

?The Union has so much experience in ticket give-aways with D-Tix and that sort of thing that this is not anything out of the ordinary for us,? Isaacs said. ?We do have a lot of students lined up and a lot of students are very excited to see the president.?

The number of tickets released was not disclosed.

The event is a standing-only event. Student and attendees with tickets will be able to stand in the Tom W. Davis Special Events Gym, or also in the South Gym if the first gym is full, Isaacs said.

The?RPAC will be closed all day Thursday for the President?s visit. The RPAC?s adjusted Spring Break hours will resume Friday, Stenta said.

It’s out with the turn-back-the-clock option offense and in with the no-huddle ? at altitude, no less.

Goodbye Tim Tebow and all those No. 15 jerseys that are everywhere. Hello four-time MVP and surefire future Hall of Famer.

It will take some time for everyone, Manning included, to get used to seeing him in an orange uniform, but when John Elway flashed that mile-wide grin and turned the microphone over to his new quarterback Tuesday, he was symbolically handing over the keys to the franchise to the biggest free agent acquisition in NFL history.

Talk about a powerful pair.

Introducing Manning as the newest Denver Bronco on Tuesday, the two Super Bowl winners each talked about hoisting another Lombardi Trophy, this time together. And soon.

“I realize I don’t have 14 years left, by any means,” Manning said. “This isn’t something where I’m just building a foundation to do something in two years or three years. This is a ‘now’ situation. We’re going to do whatever we can to win right now. That’s all I’m thinking about right now.”

Just so long as Manning’s surgically repaired neck goes along with the plan.

His surgeon has cleared him, and Manning passed all medical tests for his new team but acknowledged he has a long way to go in his rehab from a series of neck operations that sidelined him all of 2011 and led to his release by the Colts two weeks ago.

His new five-year, $96 million contract has $58 million in guarantees and also some protections for the Broncos in case his neck issues pop up again. His deal includes no signing bonus and a fully guaranteed $18 million salary next season. The salaries jump to $20 million in 2013-14 but with protections against neck problems, and he’ll make $19 million in each of the final two years, both of which non-guaranteed.

Neither he nor Elway has a doubt that he’ll recover completely by the start of the season, and the Hall of Famer-turned-executive knew the NFL’s only four-time MVP was just what his club needed.

The franchise has won just two playoff games since Elway’s career came to an end with a second straight Super Bowl triumph in 1999.

“He’s a guy that raises all boats. He’s already made (his teammates) better, and they haven’t met him yet just because of the type of person he is, his reputation and what he’s done in this league. So, he’s just going to have a tremendous effect on the Denver Broncos.”

That’s because Manning is like Michael Jordan was in basketball ? a perfectionist who demands a similar commitment from his teammates. They all know they’d better be ready from Day 1 when they can gather for offseason workouts starting April 16.

No more rounding off routes, imprecise patterns, concentration slips.

Although Manning got a playbook Tuesday, Denver’s offense is going to be drastically different in 2012 with Manning deciphering defenses and switching calls at the line of scrimmage like he did so well in Indy.

The free agent floodgates should open wide for the Broncos now that Manning is their quarterback, putting them in the mix for quality veterans, possibly including Manning’s former teammates Jeff Saturday and Dallas Clark.

“Anytime you’ve got a guy like Peyton Manning on your team, you’ve got a chance to win,” Elway said. “And players know that … and so a lot of guys that are out there that are free (agents) want to go to a place where they have a chance to win a championship. So, it’s a huge benefit for us.”

The Broncos still have roughly $20 million in cap space and could really use a running back who can catch 40-50 balls out of the backfield like Joseph Addai and Dominic Rhodes did for the Colts all those years. They could also use a center such as Saturday, who played with Manning in Indianapolis, where he handled the line calls in adjusting protections and block schemes while Manning conveyed the changes to the running backs and receivers.

After holding up his new, bright orange jersey in a photo op with Elway and owner Pat Bowlen, Manning answered many of the questions that have been bouncing around since March 7, when the Colts released him to avoid paying a $28 million bonus and set in motion one of the most frenetic free-agent pursuits in history.

The first issue on everyone’s mind: So, Peyton, how do you feel?

“I’m not where I want to be. I want to be where I was before I was injured,” Manning said, referring to the neck problem that kept him off the field in 2011 after he’d started every game for the Colts for the previous 13 seasons. “I have a lot of work to do in getting to where I want to be from a health standpoint and learning this offense. This is going to take a ton of work.”

As far as being the man who could bring about the end of Tebow’s stay in Denver, Manning said: “I know what kind of player Tim Tebow is, what kind of person he is … and what an awesome year he had this year. If Tim Tebow is here next year, I’m going to be the best teammate I can be to him, he and I are going to help this team win games. If other opportunities present themselves to him, I’m going to wish him the best.”

As excited as Elway was to welcome Manning on board, he was just as sad for Tebow, who’s expected to be on the trading block.

“Tim Tebow’s a great kid. If I want someone to marry my daughter, it’s him,” Elway said.

But to run an NFL offense, to get a title, he wanted Manning.

“My goal is to make Peyton Manning the best quarterback that’s ever played the game,” Elway said, “and he’s got that ability with the football that he’s got left.”

Manning, who turns 36 on Saturday, said he made a quick connection with Elway, who won his two Super Bowls in Denver after his 37th birthday. Since No. 7′s retirement, Denver has had 11 quarterbacks, each trying in vain to replace the irreplaceable. If anyone can get out of that shadow, Manning could be the man.

He has one title in two trips to the Super Bowl, 11 Pro Bowls and was the fastest player to reach 50,000 yards and 4,000 completions. His first TD toss for Denver will be his 400th.

Manning’s familiar No. 18 was actually retired ? a tribute to Denver’s first quarterback, Frank Tripucka. But Tripucka was more than happy to let Manning bring it out of mothballs.

Denver’s last playoff victory came over Pittsburgh two months ago, when Tebow delivered a stadium-rocking, 80-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime.

But things change, and in the NFL, they can change fast. Tebowmania is now a passing fad in Denver.

A couple of photos of Tebow that once adorned the halls at the Broncos’ headquarters were gone Tuesday by the time Manning was introduced.

Elway and coach John Fox were strategizing in Elway’s office Monday morning, wondering if they should reach out to the prized QB one more time.

Just then the phone rang. It was Manning.

Elway told him he sounded tired and Manning replied that he’d had a tough morning calling teams to say thanks, but no thanks.

Elway’s heart sank, then skipped a beat when Manning said he wanted to join him in Denver. Elway gave the thumbs-up sign to Fox.

“He was doing a little jig over there,” Elway said.

“I almost pulled both hamstrings,” Fox said.

Then, Elway hung up and they high-fived each other and the rest of the coaching and scouting staff and began preparing for life with the next elite quarterback in this QB-crazed town.

The past year has seen many a transformation at Sony Mobile, formerly known as Sony Ericsson. In addition to the buyout by Sony and subsequent rebranding, the company has refocused on smartphones and brought to market a well-rounded lineup of products in several form factors. So hopes are high as the manufacturer launches its first high-end smartphone under the Sony banner, the Xperia S.

On paper, the Xperia S is a tantalizing piece of kit — buyers get a 4.3-inch 720p screen, a fast dual-core CPU and a best-in-class camera for less money than many competing devices. And unlike 2012 flagships from Samsung and HTC, the Xperia S actually exists, and you can go out and buy one today.

The catch? It’s running Android 2.3 out of the box, and it could be months before the phone’s updated to the latest version of Google’s OS. So join us after the break as we take a closer look at the Xperia S, and decide whether there’s a place for a high-end device running Gingerbread in Spring 2012.
 

A well-built phone which feels good in the hand. Sharp, bright screen. The Mobile Bravia Engine makes for a stunning video experience. Best smartphone camera available.	Still waiting on Android 4.0 update. Bizarre button setup, keys sometimes unresponsive. Occasional software lag. Soft touch finish is a scratch magnet.
It's tough going back to Gingerbread, and we think Sony's dropped the ball in shipping its first major handset of 2012 with an old version of Android. But the Xperia S makes up for this shortcoming in other areas. Once it gets that sorely-needed ICS update, the Xperia S could be one of the first great handsets of the year. Until then, it's another decent Android phone with a handful of outstanding features.
