OAKLAND, Calif. -- Oakland officials have agreed to a $4.6 million settlement with dozens of men who claimed they were illegally strip searched by the city's police.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports at the City Council approved the deal in closed session on Tuesday night.
It stems from allegations that men had their pants pulled down on city streets from 2002 to 2009. The allegations led to a series of lawsuits.
The Chronicle reports that the settlement will be distributed among 39 men.
Two other men who also claimed they were strip searched by Oakland police were awarded more than $200,000 in damages last year in their federal civil rights lawsuit against the city.

Description The invention relates generally to a control method and apparatus for electromagnetic clutches and more specifically to a control method and apparatus wherein a random noise signal is superimposed upon a clutch engagement signal to provide improved engagement characteristics of the electromagnetic clutch. Amongst motor vehicle manufacturers, two areas of vehicle performance are foci of constant study, engineering design and product improvement. These two areas can broadly be denominated vehicle operation and occupant comfort. Occupant comfort typically includes seating and other tactile and aesthetic considerations but also encompasses aspects of vehicle operation. Within the context of operation occupant comfort generally addresses noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) issues. These design criteria are nowhere more subjects of concern than in adaptive four-wheel drive vehicles where the complex power train, torque distribution configuration, control strategy and overall system operation create their own performance and control issues. In adaptive four-wheel drive systems which operate under most driving conditions as two-wheel drive systems and automatically shift or select four-wheel drive when certain operating conditions such as wheel slip or other operating anomalies are sensed, the engagement of a clutch between the full-time or primary drive line and the part-time or secondary drive line to transfer drive energy to the secondary drive line must be both carefully controlled and preferably unnoticeable to the vehicle driver. Competing with this design goal of transparent and smooth clutch engagement is often the design preference to engage the clutch as quickly as possible in order to achieve vehicle control and slip regulation. Furthermore, as the clutch engages and the coefficient of friction of the interleaved plates changes between static and dynamic values and operating modes, its torque throughput will be non-linear, i.e., not directly related to clutch coil current. Nonetheless, mechanical performance of a clutch must be smooth, well-modulated and without grabbing or other engagement phenomena which may be sensed by the vehicle driver or occupants. The present invention is directed to a control method and apparatus which improves engagement smoothness and overall performance of friction clutch packs in motor vehicle drive lines. Engagement characteristics of the electromagnetic friction clutch pack assemblies disposed in, for example, motor vehicle transfer cases are improved, especially at the transition between static and dynamic friction modes, by superimposing a random noise signal on an otherwise smooth analog, stepped, incremental or digital signal. The controller and driver for the clutch includes a random noise (signal) generator having an output which is superimposed on the controller output generated in response to signals from various sensors disposed on the vehicle. When the controller inputs cause clutch engagement in accordance with the controller software, an engagement signal comprising both a drive portion and a smaller, random noise portion is supplied to the electromagnetic clutch operator. Improved, less perceptible clutch engagement action, especially at the transition between static and dynamic friction modes, is thereby achieved. Thus it is an object of the present invention to provide a controller for an electromagnetic clutch having improved engagement characteristics. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method for controlling an electromagnetic clutch of a motor vehicle having improved engagement characteristics. It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for providing improved clutch engagement especially at the transition between static and dynamic friction modes. It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a method of operating an electromagnetic clutch wherein a random noise signal is superimposed upon a control output thereby providing improved clutch engagement characteristics. It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a controller for an electromagnetic clutch disposed in a transfer case or axle of a motor vehicle which provides a random noise signal superimposed upon a drive signal to improve clutch engagement characteristics. Further objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent by reference to the following description of the preferred embodiment and appended drawings wherein like reference numbers refer to the same component, element or feature. FIG. 1 is diagrammatic view of a drive assembly of a four wheel drive motor vehicle incorporating the present invention; FIG. 2 is a side elevational view, in partial section of a transfer case having an electromagnetic friction clutch assembly adapted to be driven by a controller according to the present invention; FIG. 3 is a graph illustrating a random noise signal produced by a generator according to the present invention; FIG. 4 is a graph illustrating the random noise signal according to the present invention superimposed upon an incremental (step-wise) clutch control signal of a clutch drive circuit; FIG. 5 is a graph illustrating the random noise signal superimposed upon an analog clutch control signal; and FIG. 6 is a greatly enlarged portion of the random noise signal signal generator and controller according to the present invention. Referring now to FIG. 1, a four-wheel vehicle drive train which may utilize the present invention is diagramatically illustrated and designated by the reference number 10. The four-wheel vehicle drive train 10 includes a prime mover 12 which is coupled to and directly drives a transmission 14. The output of the transmission 14 directly drives a transfer case assembly 16 which provides motive power to a primary or rear drive driveline 20 comprising a primary or rear prop shaft 22, a primary or rear differential 24, a pair of live primary or rear axles 26 and a respective pair of primary or rear tire and wheel assemblies 28. The transfer case assembly 16 also selectively provides motive power to a secondary or front driveline 30 comprising a secondary or front prop shaft 32, a secondary or front differential 34, a pair of live secondary or front axles 36 and a respective pair of secondary or front tire and wheel assemblies 38. The front tire and wheel assemblies 38 may be directly coupled to a respective one of the front axles 36 or, if desired, a pair of manually or remotely activatable locking hubs 42 may be operably disposed between the front axles 36 and a respective one of the tire and wheel assemblies 38 to selectively connect same. Finally, both the primary driveline 20 and the secondary driveline 30 may include suitable and appropriately disposed universal joints 44 which function in conventional fashion to allow static and dynamic offsets and misalignments between the various shafts and components. Disposed in sensing relationship with each of the rear tire and wheel assemblies 28 is a wheel speed sensor 48. Preferably, the wheel speed sensors 48 may be the same sensors utilized with, for example, an antilock brake system (ABS) or other vehicle control or traction enhancing system. Alternatively, a single sensor, disposed to sense rotation of the primary or rear prop shaft 22 may be utilized. Signals from the sensors 48 are provided in lines 52 to a microprocessor 56. Similarly, disposed in sensing relationship with the front tire and wheel assemblies 38 are respective wheel speed sensors 58 which provide signals to the microprocessor 56 in lines 62. Once again, the sensors 58 may be a part of or shared with an antilock brake system or other traction control system. Typically an operator selectable switch 64 may be utilized and is generally disposed within reach of the vehicle operator in the passenger compartment (not illustrated). The switch 64 may be adjusted to select various operating modes such as two-wheel high gear, automatic, i.e., on-demand or adaptive operation, four-wheel high gear or four-wheel low gear depending upon the particular vehicle and configuration of the transfer case assembly 16. One such system which provides torque delivery to the secondary driveline 30 in increments or decrements in response to a sensed wheel speed difference between the primary driveline 20 and the secondary driveline 30 is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,407,024. Also providing a signal to the microprocessor 56 is a random noise (signal) generator 66. The random noise generator 66 provides a signal which varies randomly over time and which is used, as described below, to enhance operational characteristics of the transfer case assembly 16 and four-wheel vehicle drive train 10. Typically, the output of the microprocessor 56 is a control signal which is delivered to a driver assembly 68 which increases the current flow of the output of the microprocessor 56 to a level sufficient to drive an electromagnetic clutch. Referring now to FIG. 2, a typical two-speed transfer case assembly 16 includes a multiple piece housing 70 having a plurality of planar sealing surfaces, openings for shafts and bearings and various recesses, shoulders, counterbores and the like which receive various components or assemblies of the transfer case assembly 16. An input shaft 72 includes female or internal splines 74 or other suitable coupling structures which drivingly engage and couple the output of the transmission 14 illustrated in FIG. 1 to the input shaft 72. In the two-speed transfer case assembly 16, the input shaft 72 provides motive power to a planetary gear speed reduction assembly 76 which is controlled by a two or three position operator assembly 78 and shift fork and cam assembly 79 to achieve and provide a first, direct drive speed range (high gear), neutral and a second, reduced speed drive range (low gear). The output of the planetary gear speed reduction assembly 76 is provided to a primary output shaft 80 which is coupled to, and drives the primary driveline 20. In a single speed transfer case assembly, the planetary gear assembly 76 and the operator assembly 78 are not present and the input shaft 72 or its equivalent directly drives the primary output shaft 80. A modulating clutch assembly 84 is operably disposed between the primary output shaft 80 and a chain drive sprocket 86 freely rotatably disposed about the primary output shaft 80. The chain drive sprocket 86 is engaged by a drive chain 88 which also engages a driven chain sprocket 90 which is secured to a secondary output shaft 92. The secondary output shaft 92 is coupled to and drives the secondary driveline 30. The modulating clutch 84 may be of any configuration utilizing an electromagnetic coil to cause motion of an associated device which results in compression of a friction clutch pack to a degree corresponding to the intensity of the drive signal to an electromagnetic coil. Thus, while the invention is described in conjunction with a clutch operator referred to as a ball ramp operator, direct acting coils and bidirectional drive motors driving the clutch through, for example, gear reductions, sector plates and cams as well as other actuator configurations are all considered to be within the purview of the present invention. The modulating clutch 84 includes an electromagnetic coil 100 which is surrounded by a rotor 102 which is coupled to a first circular member 104. The first circular member 104 is disposed adjacent a second circular member 106. Adjacent, opposed circular members 104 and 106 include symmetrically configured ramped recesses which receive load transferring balls 108. In accordance with well known principles of operation, energization of the coil 100 creates drag in the rotor 102 and associated first circular member 104 causing relative rotation between the first and second circular members 104 and 106 and driving the second circular member 106 toward a friction clutch pack 110 which is thereby compressed. Drive torque is thus transferred from the primary output shaft 80 through the compressed, interleaved plates or discs of the friction clutch pack 110 to a bell housing 112 which is coupled to and drives the chain drive sprocket 86. Reduction of the energization of the coil 100 reduces the just described torque transfer. Referring now to FIG. 3, a typical random noise signal is illustrated. The X-axis of FIG. 3 represents time and the Y-axis represents voltage or intensity. The random noise signal illustrated represents the output of the random noise generator 66 which is provided to the microprocessor 56. Any one of numerous random noise generation techniques and components may be utilized. For example, a zener diode or an integrated circuit such as the LM 336 which can simulate the operation of a zener diode as well as numerous other random noise generators which are well known to those skilled in the art are wholly suitable in this application. Furthermore, while a pink noise signal is preferable, either white noise, pink noise or other random noise signal may be generated and used in the present invention. The output signal from the random noise generator 66 is combined with the drive signal generated by the microprocessor 56 and is provided to the driver circuitry 68 which increases the current and voltage of the logic signals utilized in the microprocessor 66 to levels which are suitable for operation of the electromagnetic coil 100. Referring now to FIG. 4, a digital, stepwise or incremental output control signal from the microprocessor 56 having a random noise signal from the random noise generator 66 superimposed thereupon is illustrated. The steps may be very small but are preferably on the order of 5% to 10% of maximum clutch engagement and are between 5 and 100 milliseconds duration and preferably between 10 to 50 milliseconds. Similarly, in FIG. 5, an analog control signal output from the microprocessor 56 having a random noise signal superimposed thereupon is illustrated. It will be appreciated that regardless of the character of the output signal (digital, incremental or analog) of the microprocessor 56 and driver 68, random noise may be superimposed thereupon in accordance with the present invention. The absolute value or proportion of the random noise signal from the random noise generator 66 to the voltage output of the microprocessor 56 and driver 68 is preferaby empiricly or experimentally determined through performance testing of the particular vehicle. This is so because the purpose of addition of the random noise signal is to match or compensate for other random variables, primarily within the clutch and the vehicle driveline, and thereby cancel or minimize them as described below. As FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate, quantitatively the random noise signal is a small fraction or percentage of the magnitude of the overall control signal. While the theory of operation of the apparatus and method disclosed herein is not fully understood, it is believed to reside in the combination of the small, random noise variations and a defined clutch operation profile which thereby tend to cancel out or mask mechanical variables in the system. As an example, envision a vehicle being operated at a constant speed with no internal, driver inputs or adjustments such as speed or steering variations and no external inputs such as road grade variations or winds affecting the operation of the vehicle. That is, it is operating at a steady state. Under this condition any, even small, variations in operation may be detected as an upset or perturbation to the steady state (and its accompanying sounds and perceptions) the driver and passengers have at least temporarily become accustomed to. Engagement of a clutch in such circumstances will result in a change of the steady state in correlation to the degree or extent of clutch engagement. If clutch engagement is a large, rather abrupt step, it will likely be readily apparent. But any engagement, if it is rapid enough to achieve an anti-skid or traction assist function, will upset the established steady state and therefore likely be noticeable to some extent. The addition of random noise to the clutch engagement program partially masks, by its randomness, the engagement program, rendering detection of a change in the operating state of the vehicle more difficult. It has also been posited that the random noise masks, randomly cancels or compensates for other random operating variables in the mechanical components of the drive system such as the clutch actuator, chain and gear noise, universal joint rotational variations and noise rendering clutch operation less detectible. This is especially true during the portion of clutch engagement wherein the coefficient of friction between the clutch plates shifts from a static coefficient to a dynamic coefficient. Although disclosed in conjunction with an electromagnetic ball ramp clutch actuator, it should be readily apparent that the invention relates to modifying the engagement program or profile of a friction clutch, by the addition of random noise, not to engagement of a particular type of clutch. Thus, the present invention is wholly usable with any and all electrically engageable clutches in motor vehicle power trains which, for example, may utilize direct acting coils, linear motors, bi-directional motors driving clutches through gears, cams or sector plates, as the advantages of the present invention will be equally applicable and beneficial. The foregoing disclosure is the best mode devised by the inventors for practicing this invention. It is apparent, however, that products and methods incorporating modifications and variations will be obvious to one skilled in the art of truck beds, bed liners and manufacturing processes therefor. Inasmuch as the foregoing disclosure presents the best mode contemplated by the inventors for carrying out the invention and is intended to enable any person skilled in the pertinent art to practice this invention, it should not be construed to be limited thereby but should be construed to include such aforementioned obvious variations and be limited only by the spirit and scope of the following claims.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Hospitals are supposed to be places of healing, but for many just being inside one is a danger. About two-million Americans suffer from hospital-acquired infections every year adding a whopping 30 billion dollars to health care costs! Now, hospitals are using a new way to reduce the risk.
You can't see them but they are everywhere! Dangerous bacteria that could make you sick and even kill!
"I really felt like I was dying. I was very sick," Ellen Blackwell said.
Ellen Blackwell had C. Difficile, an infection that causes severe diarrhea, fevers, pain, and cramping.
"Also, it comes on extremely fast," Ellen said.
Superbugs, like the one Ellen contracted, are common in hospitals across the country, killing about 100,000 patients each year.
"These organisms are smart. They're always a step ahead of us," Sasha Madison, MPH, Director of the Infection Prevention Program, Stanford Hospitals and Clinics said.
Now, the Xenex robot aims to outsmart even the toughest strains of bacteria. First, hospital workers spend about 45 minutes cleaning and disinfecting.
"Following that, we bring this machine in to further disinfect the room," Sasha said.
It can be used in patient rooms, the ER, and even operating rooms. In one study, researchers found the robot reduced surface contamination in the OR by 81 percent and air contamination by 46 percent.
"We have a higher level of assurance that the rooms are truly the cleanest they can be for our patients," Sasha said.
And that means a safer stay for patients!
About 100 hospitals across the country have the disinfecting robots. An average-sized hospital, with about 120 beds, would need two Xenex devices to clean all its rooms. Each one costs about $80,000, and can be bought or leased.

We expect premier passenger carrier, Delta Airlines Inc. (DAL - Analyst Report), to beat expectations when it reports third-quarter 2013 results on Oct 22, before the market opens.
Why a Likely Positive Surprise?
Our proven model shows that DAL is likely to beat earnings because it has the right combination of two key components.
Positive Zacks ESP: Earnings ESP which represents the difference between the Most Accurate estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate, stands at +2.24%. This is a meaningful and leading indicator of a likely positive earnings surprise.
Zacks Rank: DAL currently has a Zacks Rank #2. Note that stocks with Zacks Ranks of #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) have a significantly higher chance of beating earnings.
The combination of DAL's Zacks Rank #2 and +2.24% ESP makes us confident of a positive earnings beat this release.
What is Driving the Better-Than-Expected Earnings?
We expect an impressive performance from Delta this quarter owing to better service offering, capacity discipline and customer-focused initiatives. Introduction of services and announcement of several new routes connecting various domestic and international destinations will propel growth. Additionally, Delta recently got the U.S. Department of Transportation's approval to tie up with Virgin Atlantic, which will give the Atlanta-based carrier a strong foothold in the trans-Atlantic market.
Significant competition in several of its hub airports remain one of the major challenges for Delta. Additionally, the carrier competes with foreign operators traveling to international destinations, as well as between foreign points. The company also remains vulnerable to weak economic conditions as the major countries around the world continue to improve gradually from a financial crisis.
Other Stocks to Consider
Other companies you may want to consider on the basis of our model which shows that these have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter include:
Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (RJET - Snapshot Report) with earnings ESP of +2.82% and Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
U.S. Airways Group Inc. with earnings ESP of +6.54% and Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Álaska Air Group Inc. (ALK - Snapshot Report) with earnings ESP of +1.91% and Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

I stayed at The Signature Dar Al Taqwa Hotel - Madinah in May 2012. The hotel itself is very expensive in comparison to other hotels in the same locality. According to the reviews I made a booking and expected the service and hotel itself to be comparable to international five star standards. Don't be fooled according to the front desk the hotel rating was five stars. That's a joke because the décor and rooms are outdated and more comparable to western motel, which usually are not even called a hotel let alone a five star hotel. If you plan on making a pilgrimage to Medina please don't stay here there are other options available for same nightly rate or even less. Hilton and Marriott are close by stay there. Those are western operated hotels and their ratings are more accurate according to international standards. If you're a English speaking traveler good luck communicating with the staff, due to lack of basic English language. The word customer service has never crossed their ears so don't expect any. Please don't even order room service you can find food for less than half the cost across the street.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Drugs on Maersk Alabama where 2 ex-Navy SEALs died; ship famous for 'Captain Phillips' film
NORFOLK, Va. - Drugs were in the room where two former Navy SEALs were found dead aboard the Maersk Alabama, a ship that was the focus of a 2009 hijacking dramatized in the movie "Captain Phillips," a company spokesman said Thursday.
Police from the African island nation of Seychelles have given no cause of death for Mark Daniel Kennedy, 43, and Jeffrey Keith Reynolds, 44. The Americans were security contractors who were found dead Tuesday in a cabin on the ship while berthed in Port Victoria in the Indian Ocean.
"We are saddened by the tragedy and our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased men," Maersk Line Ltd. spokesman Kevin Speers said in a statement.
Speers said the Seychelles police report includes observations about the presence of drugs and paraphernalia in the room where the two men were found dead, although the type of drug is unknown.
On Thursday, police spokesman Jean Toussaint, noted that officials were awaiting autopsies and said, "As far as I know there is no evidence of physical trauma" on either man's body. Speers said the Maersk Alabama was cleared to leave Seychelles following the onboard investigation and that it is already underway.
The Maersk Alabama is a Norfolk, Va.-based container ship that provides feeder service to the east coast of Africa and employs security contractors to provide anti-piracy services. The two men who were found dead worked for a Virginia Beach, Va.-based maritime security firm, The Trident Group.
In a statement posted on its website, The Trident Group President Thomas Rothrauff said there "is no immediate indication as to the cause of death, but the deaths were not caused by operational activity." Rothrauff wrote that the next of kin have asked that no further information be released and that their privacy be respected.
The Maersk Alabama's owner, the Norfolk, Va.-based Maersk Line Ltd. also has said the deaths were not related to security duties or ship operations. The ship has since left the African port. Speers statement says the company has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to drugs and alcohol, and that based on past experience working with The Trident Group, it believes this is an isolated incident.
Still, the company is responding by requiring reviewing its personnel records to confirm that drug tests and background checks are current, among other things. Speer said The Trident Group will also implement a random drug testing program to increase the frequency it screens security personnel.
The Trident Group was founded by former Navy SEALs and hires former special warfare operators to perform security. On Thursday, the Navy confirmed that Kennedy and Reynolds belonged to the SEALs, an elite unit of the military's special operations forces who are sometimes called upon to combat piracy.
In 2009, Navy SEALs aboard the USS Bainbridge shot and killed three of the pirates who were holding Capt. Richard Phillips in a lifeboat, bringing the five-day hijacking standoff involving the Maersk Alabama to an end. The "Captain Phillips" movie starring Tom Hanks as Capt. Richard Phillips was released last year.
Kennedy, whose home of record with the Navy was Baton Rouge, La., enlisted in 1995 and completed his final tour of duty in 2008, according to a summary of his record provided by the Navy. Kennedy was assigned to an East Coast-based special warfare unit, according to the record. Virginia Beach serves as the home of the Navy's East Coast SEAL teams. He had medals for serving in campaigns in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Reynolds, whose home of record with the Navy was Fountain Valley, Calif., enlisted in 1990. He was assigned to a West Coast-based special warfare unit until he was discharged in 2000. He had won two medals for good conduct while in the Navy.
Former military personnel frequently provide security on board ships sailing through the waters off Somalia to provide security against pirate attacks. Kennedy and Reynolds boarded the ship Jan. 29, Speers said.
The Alabama transports food aid to East Africa in support of the U.S. government's "Food for Peace" program, according to Maersk Line. Crew members also help support the Bee Hive Children's Home in Mombasa, Kenya.
Several crew members who were aboard the ship when it was hijacked in 2009 are suing Maersk Line and Mobile, Ala.-based Waterman Steamship Corp.
Nine crew members in the lawsuit, filed in Alabama in 2012, say they suffered physical and emotional injuries after Somali pirates boarded. Some crew members were held at gunpoint with Phillips; others hid in an engine room.
AP writer Jason Straziuso in Nairobi, Kenya, contributed to this report.

Final animation for AAD summer studio Lectured by Florian Idenburg and Jing Liu at GSAPP.
The main theme of this studio was to respond to the question 'Is modernity our antiquity?' To find an answer to this question the work of Aldo Van Eyck as well as other members of Team X was researched to help foster ways of placing humanity, connectivity, as well sensitivity into the heart of the Wyckoff housing project. The problem in this specific case was isolation and disconnection in a Brooklyn neighborhood created by the NYCHA project. The goal for this solution was to densify the site with new housing, a school, and a public plaza reconnecting the neighborhood as well as reconfiguring the three existing modernist towers to engender a new form of social collectivity.
Andrei Tarkovsky was studied to generate ideas and inspiration for different ways of expressing the architectural idea.

The Legend Of Shorty
Filmmakers Angus Macqueen and Guillermo Galdos go on a perilous quest to try to find one of the world's most wanted men and most powerful drugs lord in history, Joaquin 'El Chapo' (Shorty) Guzman.
Despite a string of low-budget failures, Philip Kaufman was given the chance to direct this big-budget western, attempting to tell the true story behind Jesse James's and Cole Younger's robbery of the biggest bank across the Mississippi. Maybe too conscious of the historical burden upon him, Kaufman's own script never gels and the whole exercise, admirable as it is and enlivened by quirky decidedly unwestern like humour, fails to make much dramatic impact.
Robertson as Younger and Duvall as James don't make much of their material, and this remains an odd diversion on the director's CV.
Filmmakers Angus Macqueen and Guillermo Galdos go on a perilous quest to try to find one of the world's most wanted men and most powerful drugs lord in history, Joaquin 'El Chapo' (Shorty) Guzman.
Fresh from prison, street racer Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul) embarks upon a cross country quest for revenge and redemption at a supercar showdown with the former partner who framed him (Dominic Cooper).

Is OESCH a variation of ESCH? An ancestor Johan Jacob or Jean Jacques OESCH came from Niederbronn area of Alsace, probably 1st to Indiana; later to Douglas Cnty Ks where he died. I have the papers showing that he served in the military of France as "Jean Jacques Oesch". He and his wife had only daughters so there are no descendants of the Oesch name. There appear to be numerous folks named ESCH in Kansas where J.J. Oesch lived his last years. Any connections? Thanks very much!

Don't give up on the Phillies
Philly has had some bad luck this year and is not out of the race just yet
- Recommend0

Howard Smith/US PresswireJimmy Rollins is showing signs of life at the plate at an opportune time for Philadelphia.
Ryan Howard has not yet played a game. Neither has Chase Utley. Cliff Lee missed three weeks, and so did Vance Worley. Roy Halladay has missed two weeks, and may miss several more. And now Utley's replacement at second base, Freddy Galvis, is out, and he may miss significant time. It seems that things have been bad all year for the Phillies, and that they could get worse before they get better. The team has dropped eight of its past nine, and have fallen four spots this week in the ESPN Power Rankings to a season-low 20th place. And yet, it is still not yet time for Philadelphia to cut bait on the 2012 season.
Yes, the Phillies find themselves in dead last in the National League East, and eight games back to boot. But even with the recent slide, their run differential for the season is still just minus-1. That is a better mark than their division-mates in Miami and New York, who are at minus-28 and minus-19, respectively. And with the extra wild card added this season, the Phillies need not finish any higher than third in the suddenly stacked East.
To see why Philly still has a chance, become an Insider today.
