DETROIT (AP) — Joshua Phegley's sixth-inning grand slam gave Chris Sale some long-awaited run support, and Chicago went on to beat the Detroit Tigers 6-3 on Thursday in a game that included a bench-clearing altercation shortly after the White Sox took the lead.
Chicago trailed 3-1 when Phegley cleared the bases with a homer off Detroit starter Anibal Sanchez (7-6). Luke Putkonen came on and got one out before throwing a pitch behind Alexei Ramirez, who started toward the mound before being restrained.
Benches and bullpens emptied, but the situation didn't really escalate.
Sale (6-8) allowed three runs in 6 2-3 innings. Addison Reed pitched the ninth for his 23rd save in 27 chances.
Detroit's Miguel Cabrera hit his 30th homer of the year.

Melanie Meuchel, a Missoula native and 1997 graduate of Big Sky High, was hired this week by new Montana softball coach Jamie Pinkerton to be the program's assistant coach. Meuchel has 11 years of college coaching experience, 10 of which have been at the NCAA Division I level.
Pinkerton, the former head coach at Tulsa and Arkansas and most recently an assistant at Iowa State, was hired last month to start a program that will begin fielding a team in 2014-15.
"Being a Missoulian, it's always been a dream of mine and many others that the University of Montana would one day offer softball, so I'm very excited about the opportunity to work for Jamie and start the program with him," Meuchel said.
"Jamie has a vision of what he wants for his program, and I think Montana's future players will respect him for his knowledge and work ethic and the success he's had along the way. Having a coach like that in place at the start will be a huge factor in getting the program off on the right foot."
Meuchel (pronounced Michael) was an All-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference pitcher at Mesa State College (now Colorado Mesa University) and helped lead the Mavericks to the 2000 NCAA Division II Women's College World Series.
She began her coaching career as a student assistant at Mesa State in 2002.
After two years as an assistant coach at McNeese State (2003-04), Meuchel spent the 2005 season as a graduate assistant at Oklahoma. The Sooners won 50 games in 2005 and advanced to an NCAA Super Regional. It would be the first of four trips to the NCAA tournament for Meuchel.
Meuchel joined the staff at Nevada in 2006 and coached the Wolf Pack for seven years. She worked under Michelle Gardner, who is now the head coach at Indiana, from 2006-08, then remained on staff when Matt Meuchel, her brother, took over the program.
Meuchel worked as the Wolf Pack's pitching coach and recruiting coordinator as Nevada went to three NCAA tournaments and twice won 40 games. Meuchel coached Katie Holverson to Western Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Year honors in 2009.
She stepped away from coaching following the 2012 season and returned to Missoula and the state where Meuchel's parents, Mary and Dennis, have been involved with the coaching and instruction of softball for three decades. Matt Meuchel remains the head coach at Nevada.
"It was important to me, first of all, to hire somebody who's been a pitching coach," said Pinkerton. "To also get somebody with Montana ties who knows the high school coaches and knows the area and someone who has recruited this region is huge for the program in the early going.
"Melanie also has experience calling games and putting together a good scouting report, so I won't feel like I have to watch over her and train her. Bringing Melanie on staff is really going to be beneficial to me and the program."
Meuchel, who earned a degree in human performance and wellness (K-12) from Mesa State in 2002, begins her duties at Montana later this week.

|POWER SUPPLY DEVICES AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A power supply device is provided. The power supply device provides a maintenance voltage at an output terminal to a system chip of a system and includes a first battery, a capacitor, a charging circuit, and a monitoring circuit. The first battery provides a battery voltage. The capacitor stores a capacitor voltage. The charging circuit is coupled to the capacitor. The monitoring circuit detects whether the battery voltage is less than a first threshold and whether the capacitor voltage is larger than a second threshold and generates a control signal according to the determination result. When the monitoring circuit detects that the battery voltage is less than the first threshold and the capacitor power supply device voltage is not larger than the second threshold, the monitoring circuit asserts the control signal to control the charging circuit to charge the capacitor.
|BIAS VOLTAGE GENERATION CIRCUIT FOR AN SOI RADIO FREQUENCY SWITCH - A radio frequency (RF) switch located on a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate includes at least one electrically biased region in a bottom semiconductor layer. The RF switch receives an RF signal from a power amplifier and transmits the RF signal to an antenna. The electrically biased region may be biased to eliminate or reduce accumulation region, to stabilize a depletion region, and/or to prevent formation of an inversion region in the bottom semiconductor layer, thereby reducing parasitic coupling and harmonic generation due to the RF signal. A voltage divider circuit and a rectifier circuit generate at least one bias voltage of which the magnitude varies with the magnitude of the RF signal. The at least one bias voltage is applied to the at least one electrically biased region to maintain proper biasing of the bottom semiconductor layer to minimize parasitic coupling, signal loss, and harmonic generation.

While no one expects genteel program director Jeannette Balleza Collins to crack a mean whip, or any symbolic whip for that matter, "ARK 3" will run with a tighter focus than its predecessors. The first two installments of this tech-based startup boot camp were federally funded, part of the $37 million Jobs & Innovation Accelerator Challenge.

"The program staff intentionally recruited for more mature startups this year with teams who have had an established history with working with one another, have exhibited traction in their existing business and/or for a new product, as well as who are coachable."
That's a bit different from previous
"We always want to provide more value than we capture for our founders, our investors, our mentors, our industry clusters and our ecosystem," she said. "We want to incorporate our learnings from past experiences, consider our resources and do our best to select the right mix of founders to whom we can deliver the greatest value."
This year's ARK is taking on a more big-picture perspective, keying in on solving problems in the region's key cluster industries and helping raise the state's competitiveness on a global scale, Collins stressed.
"From an ecosystem perspective, we always are looking to attract, retain and develop talent, as well as facilitate capital formation for companies at every stage of the funding continuum," Collins said. "The startups we select this year, we hope, will create future jobs over time, inspire future entrepreneurs with their incremental successes and yield future exits, as well as future mentors and future investors."
Collins noted several new organizations and programs that have sprung up and complemented the

Student voices in journalism
Media Addiction Around the World.
In the current era, there are certainly many more options for communication than before. Now, it seems that we can be continuously connected with just as many people as we want and share all kinds of important (and perhaps unimportant) moments of our lives instantaneously. The fact that new technology continuously offers a lot of access in a way that was not available to anyone before can be very useful. We can visit all the museums in the world at one time. Likewise, we can go on a safari, hunt for butterflies, or view dinosaur tracks virtually in places many of us will never have the money or time to visit physically.
This aspect is really beautiful and enriching. We can be in touch with people near or far for important moments. We can have video conferences. We can have video dating. We can have net meetings. We can celebrate through chats. However, by the same token the endless availability of communication may lead to it being not just a tool for communication, but sometimes the cause of addictive behaviors.

Corby councillors accused of Thatcher 'disrespect'
Labour councillors in Corby have been accused of "offensive conduct" during Conservative tributes to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Conservative members held a minute's silence at Thursday's borough council meeting and condolences were paid to the Thatcher family.
Councillors who felt the ex-PM's policies had damaged Corby walked out.
For a town that's always been dominated by steel it's no surprise that Corby is very left-leaning.
Ten thousand people lost their jobs when the steel works closed in 1980 along with another 10,000 who worked in allied industries.
Conservatives point out that the decision to close the works was taken under the previous Labour government and Margaret Thatcher moved fast to create an Enterprise Zone which attracted a series of grants and new businesses to the town.
But those who lived through that period say the jobs which were created were few, low paid and not very skilled.
Corby became run down and the exhortation to the unemployed to get on their bikes and look for work did nothing to help the Conservatives' popularity.
Many people believe it took Corby 20 years to recover and, even though the town is now a very different place, the present economic crisis has re-awakened all those memories.
If there were going to be anti-Thatcher protests anywhere in the country it was going to be in Corby.
Conservatives said some councillors sniggered, but this was denied by Labour councillors.
Deputy leader of the Conservative group at the Labour-run council, Rob McKellar, said on Friday: "After a good night's sleep I feel maybe we should have kept to the high ground but we were shocked over the deeply offensive conduct.
"I was paying tribute to Baroness Thatcher's family and it was not a political address.
"I spoke about her strengths and whatever people thought of her they could not ignore her and they would certainly not forget her."'No sniggering'
He singled out Labour councillor Mary Butcher who he said led a walkout during his speech.
Mrs Butcher said she had not been disrespectful and on Tuesday attended a minute's silence at a cabinet meeting.
"My husband and father lost their jobs during the Thatcher years and although this was a long time ago, and the town had picked itself up, I felt I could not take part," she said.
Mrs Butcher said she went into the council chamber after the minute's silence, but then Mr McKellar began speaking.
"I walked out and others followed me but I did not hear any sniggering or felt there was any disrespect.
"In fact, I respect her as a woman, mother and grandmother but in conscience I could not stay and people should respect this.
"People are still suffering the effects of her policies," she said.
