This invention relates to buoyancy compensators, and, more particularly, to a buoyancy compensator which includes interchangeable backpacks and cummerbunds.
Buoyancy compensators are commonly provided in a form similar to a life vest and include a bladder or air cell inside the vest. Buoyancy compensators are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,810,134, 4,752,263, 4,694,772, 4,561,853, 4,523,914, and 4,137,585, and co-owned and co-pending U.S. patent applications entitled "Buoyancy Compensator with Expandable Cummerbund and Auxiliary Harness" and "Buoyancy Compensator with Interchangeable Accessories", Ser. Nos. 369,760 and 370,271, filed Jun. 22, 1989.
A buoyancy compensator is used by a scuba diver to adjust his buoyancy during a dive. The bladder can be inflated with air to increase the diver's buoyancy and deflated when the diver wants to descend to a lower level.
Previous buoyancy compensators are limited to a static functional configuration, as shown, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,810,134 and 4,752,263. However, diving is a recreational sport and is therefore subject to the individual's interpretations as to its ultimate and most comfortable form. Diving encourages an individualistic approach governed by the diver's personality and the buoyancy compensator's adaptability.
The invention provides the first comprehensive approach to functional adaptability of a buoyancy compensator on the consumer level. The diver is free to choose the backpack and harnessing system which best suits his needs and preferences. A modular backpack and harnessing system enables the user to manipulate his tank support system to adapt his requirements and/or preferences through either an interchangeable soft or hard backpack or interchangeable cummerbund options. The buoyancy compensator includes a vest having an inflatable air cell, either a soft backpack or a hard backpack, and a cummerbund or waistband. The vest and cummerbund can be removably attached to the backpack. The cummerbund can have either a standard configuration or can include auxiliary harness supports.
The interchangeable backpack and cummerbund system further enhances the manufacturing of the buoyancy compensator. By separating the backpack and cummerbund from the manufacture of the vest, the sewing operator can produce subassemblies independently, thereby eliminating the labor involved in assembling the three components together. The final assembling step is transferred either to a manual assembly station within the manufacturing plant or to the point-of-purchase in the retail store where the modular components are selected according to the consumer's preferences.
The invention will be explained in conjuction with illustrative embodiments shown in the accomanying drawing, in which
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a hard backpack and a cummerbund removably attached to the backpack;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the hard backpack and cummerbund of FIG. 1 showing the attachment of the cummerbund to the backpact and a vest which is removably attached to the backpack;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary perspective view of the back or outer surface of the cummerbund;
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary perspective view of the central portion of the back of the vest;
FIG. 5 illustrates a center panel assembly for the hard backpack;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a soft backpack and the cummerbund;
FIG. 7 is a fragmentary perspective view illustrating the means for removably attaching the cummerbund to the soft pack;
FIG. 8 illustrates a soft backpack, a vest, and a cummerbund with auxiliary harness straps;
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a diver wearing the buoyancy compensator of FIG. 8;
FIG. 10 is a sectional view of one of the attaching straps and backles.
Referring first to FIG. 2, the numeral 10 designates generally a buoyancy compensator which includes a vest 11, a hard backpack 12, and a cummerbund or waist band 13. The vest includes a back portion 14, right and left side lobes 15 and 16, and a right and left shoulder portion 17 and 18. The vest is equipped with conventional straps and backles (not shown) for connecting the side flaps and shoulder portions as described in copending U.S. patent applications entitled "Buoyancy Compensator with Expandable Cummerbund and Auxiliary Harness" and "Buoyancy Compensator with Interchangeable Accessories", Ser. Nos. 369,760 and 370,271, filed Jun. 22, 1989.
The vest is formed from two layers of nylon fabric 19 and 20 (FIG. 4) which are secured around their edges by a binding which is stitched to the fabric layers. The fabric layers enclose an air cell which is provided either by a conventional air bladder or by an air-impermeable layer on the inside of the fabric. In the latter case, the vest is formed from thermoplastic-coated nylon pack cloth which is electronically heat-sealed together. The bladder is inflated by a conventional inflator tube which is well known in the art.
The hard backpack 12 (FIG. 1) is conventional and includes a relatively rigid frame 21 and a tank harness 22 for supporting a tank of compressed breathing gas. The harness includes a strap 23 and a clamp 24 for tightening the strap and the tank against the frame. The strap is threaded through four slots 25 in the frame which are separated by bars 26 which are formed integrally with the frame.
Referring to FIG. 4, the central portion of the back portion 14 of the vest 11 is provided with an opening 27 which is sized to fit generally around the periphery of the backpack frame 21. A plurality of flexible attaching straps 28, for example, of nylon web material, are attached to the vest around the opening 27, and a buckle 29 is attached to the bottom of the opening by a strap 30. The vest is removably attached to the backpack frame 12 by threading the straps 28 through buckles 31 on the backpack frame and by securing the buckle 29 to a strap 32 (FIG. 5) on the frame. The buckles 31 are attached to the frame by flexible straps similar to the straps 28.
The cummerbund or waist band 13 includes a back or middle portion 33 (FIG. 1) and a pair of end portions 34 and 35. The end portions can be releasably secured together as shown in FIG. 1 by complementary hook and loop fasteners of the type which are sold under the trademark Velcro. The cummerbund is advantageously formed from inner and outer layers 36 and 37 of non-elastic nylon fabric and edge bindings 38 which are stitched to the edges of the nylon fabric.
The cummerbund is removably secured to the backpack frame 21 by a flexible attaching strap 40 (FIGS. 2 and 3). One end 41 of the strap is permanently attached to the outer layer of the cummerbund by stitching 42. A hook and loop fastener 43 is attached to the free end 44 of the strap and mates with a complementary hook and loop fastener 45 on the cummerbund. The flexible attaching strap 40 is threaded through two small slots 46 and two large slots 47 in the backpack frame, and the end 44 of the strap is secured to the cummerbond by the fasteners 43 and 45.
FIG. 5 illustrates a fabric center panel 50 which can be used to mount the buckles 31 and strap 32 on the hard backpack 12. The panel 50 can be mounted between the frame 21 of the backpack and the conventional curved backing plate which is attached to the frame and against which the breathing tank is clamped by the harness 22. The panel is provided with bolt holes 51 for the bolts which attach the backing plate to the frame.
Each of the buckles 31 is attached to the panel 50 by flexible straps 52 which are stitched to the panel by stitching 53. A handle strap 54 is also attached to the panel to facilitate carrying the backpack when the breating tank is mounted. FIG. 10 is a sectional view through one of the straps 28 and buckles 31.
FIG. 6 shows the cummerbund 13 removably attached to a soft backpack 57. The soft backpack includes a back pad 58 and a lumber pad 59 which is attached to the lower portion of the back pad. A conventional tank harness 60 (see also FIG. 9) is secured to the back pad for supporting a breathing tank 61. The tank harness includes straps 62 and buckles 63 for securing the tank. A handle 65 is provided for carrying the backpack.
The vest 11 is removably attached to the soft backpack by threading the straps 28 (FIG. 4) which are secured around the center opening of the vest to buckles 64 on the backpack and by securing the buckle 29 on the vest to a strap on the backpack.
Referring to FIG. 7, the lumbar pad 59 includes upper and lower edges 66 and 67 which are stitched to the back pad 58 and form a collar or sleeve through which the cummerbund 13 may be inserted. A pair of attaching straps 68 extend perpendicularly to the cummerbund and include end portions 69 which are stitched to the back pad and middle portions 70 which are not secured to the pad. The outer surfaces of the straps 68 are formed of hook and loop material. A pad 71 of hook and loop material is secured to the inside surface of the lumbar pad.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, a pad 72 of hook and loop material is attached to the inside surface of the cummerbund and is adapted to mater with the fastening pad 71 on the lumber pad. Strips 73 and 74 of hook and loop fastening material are attached to the outside surface of the cummerbund and are adapted to mater with the straps 68.
The cummerbund is removably attached to the soft backpack by inserting the cummerbund between the back pad 58 and the lumbar pad 59, inserting the flexible attaching strap 40 on the cummerbund between the midportions 70 of the straps 68 and the backpack and securing the end 44 of the strap 41 to the fastening pad 45 on the cummerbund, and securing the complementary fasteners 71 and 72 and 73, 74, and 68. The fasteners thereby provide a tri-level redundancy and ensure the safety of the system's long term operation.
FIG. 8 illustrates a buoyancy compensator 110 which is similar to the soft pack buoyancy compensator illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 9 except that the commerbund 113 includes auxiliary right and left harness straps 117 and 118 which extend upwardly toward the right and left shoulder portions 17 and 18 of the vest. A complete description of the cummerbund with auxiliary harness straps may be found in co-pending United States application entitled "Buoyancy Compensator with Expandable Cummerbund and Auxiliary Harness," Ser. No. 369,760, filed Jun. 22, 1989. A similar commerbund with auxiliary harness straps can also be used with the hard backpack illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.
It will be understood from the foregoing description that a diver can choose the backpack and cummerbund system which best suits his specific needs and preferences. The possible combinations include the standard cummerbund illustrated in FIG. 1 with a hard backpack, the standard cummerbund with a soft backpack (FIG. 6), the harness cummerbund illustrated in FIG. 8 with a hard backpack, and the harness cummerbund with a soft backpack. The vest, backpack, and cummerbund components of the buoyancy compensator are detachable and interchangeable and need not be assembled until the diver makes his choice at the point-of-purchase.
While in the foregoing specification detailed description of specific embodiments of the invention were set forth for the purpose of illustration, it will be understood that many of the details herein given may be varied considerably by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

HighCloud Security, one of those rare cloud security start-ups, is warming up to its subject.
A year ago when it first came to market it was focused on encryption and policy-based key management in the private cloud. It has now moved on to the public cloud in rev 2.0 of its widgetry and figures it could change the way companies buy security. After all, encryption isn't reserved to the CIA anymore.
It claims its particular brand of magic is the first cloud encryption solution to let enterprises and cloud service providers lock down data across private, hybrid and public clouds.
It's not something legacy solutions can do; at least not easily; they're hard to manage and hard to deploy, not to mention expensive. And data security is often the gating factor scaring companies off the cloud.
See, virtualization, the foundation of cloud infrastructures, introduces new security and compliance challenges. Data becomes commingled in physical hardware so cloud administrators have much broader access, and backups and snapshots can leave sensitive data highly vulnerable.
HighCloud CEO Bill Hackenberger says HighCloud's vision is "to demystify encryption, making it drop-dead easy to deploy and manage across all cloud infrastructures. The launch of HighCloud 2.0 showcases our commitment to deliver a security solution that supports how organizations want to work with the cloud."
The Virtual Machine Vault widgetry that HighCloud invented for private clouds can't be used on Amazon because it messes with the infrastructure although it can be used in more liberal public clouds.
Amazon users can use HighCloud's new Data Security Module to encrypt their data in storage instead. It works below the application and file system in the guest operating system. The data is encrypted on the way to storage. So are snapshots.
HighCloud Security 2.0 is available now and immediately accessible in both the company's freemium and paid programs. Freebie users can have five VMs; users who want phone support need to pony up $3,000 a year for a VM 10 pack.
HighCloud is still working on the nuances of its SaaS-subscription model.
It's angel-funded and supporting itself with incoming revenues. It expects to go out for a $5 million A round on favorable terms soon. That way it'll get to EMEA.
It competes with Trend Micro, with Porticor coming up on the outside.
HighCloud services big North American enterprises that are reportedly still shy about their names being used.
One thing HighCloud users don't have to worry about is switching clouds. If the original cloud doesn't delete their VMs, the user doesn't have to worry; nobody can get in. The cloud purveyor doesn't control the key so data is secure from creation through decommissioning.
HighCloud reportedly works on any public cloud.

This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity.

Jan 22, 2016 0 0 0 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter + View as Slideshow 1 For those joining from theChive, "what is the M58 Mine Clearing Line Charge (MICLIC)?" The MICLIC is a rocket projected explosive line charge which provides a "close-in" breaching capability for maneuver forces. Layman's terms…if you've got an area that may have land-mines/IEDs…"clear 'em with explosives". The line charge is 350 feet long and contains 5 pounds per linear foot of composition C-4 explosives. For the most part, it's the job of Combat Engineers a.k.a. "Sapper" teams to clear the path. Long-story short, these are big BOOMs. 23456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434445464748495051525354555657585960616263646566676869 Category: Explosives, Friday Firepower, High-Res Share on Facebook Share on Twitter +

Has Finished Screening
Almond-filled Filo Snake (M'hancha) In Morocco there are plenty of little sweet treats to choose from, many with a base of ground almonds. This one is great because it looks so spectacular and is a taste and texture sensation. Almond filling: 2 cups ground almonds 1 cup icing sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 tablespoons orange blossom or rose water 3 tablespoons butter, melted 13 sheets filo pastry 3 tablespoons butter, melted Honey Syrup ½ cup honey Zest from one orange 1 tablespoons orange blossom or rose water ¼ cup slithered almonds Yoghurt to serve Preheat the oven to 180 C. Grease a large tray, tin pizza tray or pie plate. In abowl combine the almond filling ingredients and mix well to form a smooth, firm paste. Divide the filling into 4 and shape into log shapes, as long as the long side of the filo pastry sheets. Take one sheet of filo and brush with butter, then layer another 2 sheets on top, buttering between each. Keep the remaining filo covered with a damp tea towel so that it doesn't dry out. Place one of the almond logs across the long edge of the filo layers and roll up loosely. Repeat the process so that you have total of 4 pastry logs. Leave a spare sheet of filo (to patch up any cracks). Place one log on the baking tray, seam-side down, and carefully curl into a spiral, pinching the centre end closed. Join the next log onto the end and continue to coil, then add the remaining two logs and spiral until you have a large coiled pie! Patch up any cracks with the spare pastry and give the whole pie a final brush with butter. Bake for 20-30 minutes until golden and crispy. Meanwhile, heat the syrup ingredients in a saucepan. Remove the pastry snake from the oven brush or drizzle with honey syrup, and then scatter with almonds. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges. Serve with yoghurt.

Mark Kurland, the other hedge fund founder accused of insider trading in the Raj Rajaratnam case, has denied any wrongdoing. Whether or not his partners at New Castle Partners believe him, they apparently don't want him around anymore.
Kurland has taken a leave of absence from the firm he founded in 1995 as a Bear Stearns Asset Management unit and then spun-off after a bankrupt Bear was acquired by JPMorgan Chase last January. He, Galleon Group's Rajaratnam, former New Castle consultant Danielle Chiesi and two others were charged with participating in a $20 million insider-trading ring earlier this month.
New Castle, like Galleon, has since suffered a jump in redemption requests. Hoping to quickly expunge the stain that the Rajaratnam case has left on its reputation, the New York-based firm has hired the high-profile law firm of Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom to explore potential restructuring options, and is looking into the possibility of buying Kurland out, the Financial Times reports.
The firm, which manages about $1 billion, is also talking restructuring options with its investors, the FT reports. New Castle is not yet contemplating a full liquidation of its funds, as Galleon has done.

I know it's not just me who, in the face the super-streamlined efficiency of micro-blogging via Instagram, now struggles with traditional long-form blogging. (Crikey, yeah, this kind of blogging has become 'traditional', old school, a mere whiff of WiFi away from being as on-trend as a Telegram. Times and technologies certainly do move fast.)
I know it's not just me who struggles with getting round to completing those projects she started in a whirlwind of inspiration and excitable 'newness' … and who now can't bring herself to return to see it through to the end.
I know it's not just me who has equal amounts of both the ambition to do more, create more, reach more people … and the sheer gut-knotting, brain-whirring, horror of all that that would involve.
And, because I know it's not just me who feels like this, I'm sharing a piece of writing today which hopefully will help someone else reading it (maybe even you?) realise that it's not just them either.
Because it's me too.
Background: This piece began life a couple of months ago as a 30 minute timed exercise in response to a writing prompt which suggested talking about: 'The fear of putting yourself out there. Why do we feel it? What purpose does it serve? And how can we overcome it?' It's been edited and titivated-up since.
The photos: aren't the best I've ever taken, but they fit with what I wanted to say today.
Finally: there are multiple, non-deliberate, references to wizards in this piece ... who knows where they came from. Make of that what you will ...
Getting out from behind the curtain ...
'The fear of putting yourself out there. Why do we feel it? What purpose does it serve? And how can we overcome it?'

Recently for me the key to overcoming the fear of rejection has been faith in my starting point, the idea, article etc which I'm trying to persuade someone else to look at. I need to wholeheartedly believe in that idea before I begin; partly because it provides the motivation I'll need to pitch and self-promote with a clear conscience, but also (and perhaps most importantly) because that original confidence can later act as a welcome buffer upon rejection.
Rejection is hard enough to combat without it catching on the tinder-sticks of self-doubt as it stalks past sending them up in flames too.
The idea might well be rejected but did you like it? Was it good work? Were you happy with it before you asked someone else to like it? If not, then come on ... if you had doubts about it too, why wouldn't someone else? But if you did like it, and it was good solid work then fair enough, you get a pass, you can sail on to the next pitch with impunity.
Following rejection your self-doubt sensors may feel a momentary hot-flush ... but you needn't abandon them to the flames while they to burn to a cinder. Although in those initial moments you'll feel like it, don't (neither literally or metaphorically) throw your work or your self-belief into the fire, just find another marshmallow to roast on it until you feel strong enough to try again.

For example: J.K Rowling may well have felt the heat of so many rejections but she loved Harry. Believed in Harry. And believed that someone else out there would too. And she was right.
So undoubtedly it's easier to stay motivated when you know you're on to something good, but how do you reach this belief?
So undoubtedly it's easier to stay motivated when you know you're on to something good, but how do you reach this belief?
Like I say, it must mainly come from the work itself. Surely? But if so then how are we meant to reconcile the fact that something we thought was good was turned away by others? In this case I guess all we can say is that it just wasn't for them.
That's how my latest rejection email read at least: "this isn't going to work for us". Which, for a short time, was a disappointing answer but at least it was an answer. At least I wasn't left hanging or pestering, and - because I still like the article in question - I'll find a place for it somewhere else. Another website, another magazine or right here sometime or other.
|Sign at Beamish musuem
And at least receiving a rejection proves I did something. I put myself out there, once again, and I guess the more times I do it the more I'll get used to the heat.
'Asbestos hands' that's how some people explain their ability to pick-up hot things without flinching isn't it? Well maybe if we're intent on being 'out there' some of us need to cultivate 'Asbestos self-worth'.
But what if, unlike J.K Rowling, you don't know if your work is any good? Oh … that's a tricky one. Of course you can ask someone else for their opinion but then that just takes you back in the realm of subjectivity where whatever it is you're creating might never be for them; they're not your target audience; they're just not that into you.
And - forgive me for doubting you but - are you sure you can't tell if what you're doing is any good? Surely you do? One way or another?
Maybe you don't know it every hour of every day. But which of us do?
(I mean, it's usually only the people who really ought not to who often hold an unshakable confidence in their abilities, leaving the more reflective among us to do all the soul-searching. Did you ever read about my mini-writing-related-breakdown? If so you'll definitely know that I don't believe in myself 24/7 and I'm certainly no stranger to a crisis of confidence).
But at some point, deep down, under all that uncertainty, you can surely determine the quality of your own out-put. Or you know enough about its worth to keep you going. Or at the very least you recognise that there's something there ... even if you haven't found the words for it yet, let alone the confidence to share it with others.
Don't you?
Don't I?

|Sign from a local museum: a quick refresher course on the purpose of doors ...
Why are you contemplating it? Why would you risk it? What do you want to come from it? Why now?
And I guess it would be in taking some time to answer these questions that you ... we ... will unearth the answer to that final question: "How can we overcome it?"
Because once you possess a clear idea of why you're doing it, what you'll get from it, what will make it worth the risk then you'll be holding in your hands the seeds of the revelation on how you're going to overcome all those fears. Those answers will become the motivations which will keep you moving, in increments, towards being 'out there' in whatever form that takes for you.
You, the small, soft, vulnerable Wizard of Oz, easing yourself out from behind the safety of the curtain … revealing yourself as you really are, in which case …
… maybe we both need to just click our heels together three times … the answers have probably been with us all along.
|Sticky-note I found stuck to a computer screen on campus during assignment deadline season.
I have some interesting projects in the pipeline that will involve me having to put myself 'out there' once again later this year ... and you know full well I'll be sharing it all with your here when I can (chances are I'll be going on about it so much that you might wish I'd stayed behind the curtain).
For now though, I'm eager to hear your side of things ...
- Are you struggling to put yourself out there, even though you want to?
- Do you know what's stopping you? Or daren't you even start questioning the feeling? (No judgement here ... I'm absolutely just as bad. Nothing like a bit of reading/starting a new project to dampen down those scary deep thoughts ...)
- Or do you have any stories, tips or motivation of your own that you'd like to share in the comments?
I'm all ears (and pointy hat).

A horrible mistake or Allentown's salvation?
After 13 months, the debate over the city's proposed lease of its water and sewer systems is over.
And in the end the Mayor got his wish.
But not before getting an earful from angry residents.
It was a long night last night.
In the end, it was the aye's that had it.
Allentown City Council Chamber was packed with passionate people on both sides of the water and sewer lease agreement with the Lehigh County Authority.
"You are passing the debt and the burden of bad mistakes that we have made on to our children," said resident Jim Powers.
"This is the only option on the table today and you know what? It's a pretty good option," said resident Damian Brown.
The meeting brought in a slew of business leaders who backed the plan.
And at least one Lehigh County Commissioner who urged council to reconsider a hurried yes vote.
"There's no easy solution Allentown's pension problem and crisis we all know that," said Lehigh County Commissioner Lisa Scheller.
But the deal you have in front of you is a bad deal.
After hours of debate, council member Jeanette Eichenwald, on record against the lease, made a motion to put it on hold.
"I am deeply distressed that no one would second the motion so that we could have a discussion," said Eichenwald.
After more than four hours the lease was approved by a vote of 6 to 1.
Most of the City Council members who voted yes explained why, including Cynthia Mota who dialed in for the meeting from Venezuela where she is recovering from an illness.
"I don't have a hidden agenda like what a few people are saying I just want what is best for the city," said Mota.
LCA will take over the water and sewer system in 90 days after the lease is signed.
Allentown agrees to LCA lease but not without protests

The AFC West started off the month of November with a 2-2 record, as the San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos were able to find the win column, while the Kansas City Chiefs and the Oakland Raiders both took home losses. This article recaps the AFC West action from week nine.Kansas City at San DiegoSan Diego finally stopped their losing skid and for the moment bought a little time for head coach Norv Turner, as they won 31-13, while Kansas City continued their losing ways losing their fifth game in a row.Matt Cassel got the start for Kansas City at the quarterback position, and did little to help his team win the game. Cassel threw for only 181 yards, while throwing for no touchdowns, while contributing another two turnovers, on one interception and one fumble.Running back Jamaal Charles failed to flex his superstar muscles, as he gained a lowly 39 rushing yards, while adding only 27 receiving yards. Additionally Charles failed to find the end zone in the game.Leading receiver Dwayne Bowe also contributed to a pitiful offensive effort, having only 79 yards on eight catches, while having no touchdowns and a lost fumble.The only somewhat bright sight for the Chiefs was their defense. Kansas City's defense forced two turnovers in the game, and actually gave up only 17 points, as San Diego's defense did a majority of the Chargers fourth quarter scoring. Kansas City's defense is by no means elite but they did play better than the offense.For San Diego, quarterback Philip Rivers had one of the better games of the 2012 season, finishing with an 90 percent completion rate, 220 passing yards, two touchdowns, with his only mistake in the game being an interception.The rest of San Diego's offense however was less impressive. Running back Ryan Matthews had only 67 rushing yards, and five receiving yards while failing to find the end zone. San Diego's leading receiver was Donario Alexander who had his first three receptions of the 2012 season with 61 receiving yards.Malcolm Floyd and Antonio Gates combined for only 91 yards on seven receptions, but both were on the receiving end of a touchdown pass from Rivers.While the offense played okay it was San Diego's defense that kept the Chargers in the game and eventually secure the win. The Chargers' defense held Kansas City to 289 total yards, while forcing four turnovers. The biggest two of those turnovers came in the fourth quarter when San Diego's defense returned a fumble and an interception for touchdowns scoring 14 of San Diego's 21 fourth quarter points.With the win San Diego improved to 4-4 and are in second place in the division. With the loss Kansas City is 1-7 and has lost all hope of being successful this season meaning for the rest of the season they should be evaluating what changes they will make before next season.Denver at Cincinnati Denver's Peyton Manning continued his MVP season as he led the offense and the Broncos past the Cincinnati Bengals in week nine. Manning threw for three touchdowns for the fifth time in as many weeks, while being nine yards short of having a sixth game in a row with 300 or more passing yards.Manning did throw two interceptions in the game with 10 points being scored off turnovers by Cincinnati but two fourth quarter touchdowns gave Denver the win by the score of 31-23.Manning was aided in the victory by his two favorite receivers Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas. Decker had eight receptions for 99 yards and two touchdowns and Thomas had 77 yards on six receptions.Tight-end Jermaine Gresham had a 108 receiving yards while receiver A.J. Green had 99 receiving yards and a touchdown, but it was not enough to help the Bengals get past the Broncos.Quarterback Andy Dalton finished the game with a 62 percent completion rate, throwing for 299 yards, a touchdown and interception.With the win Denver has a 5-3 record and is in first place in the division.Tampa Bay at Oakland The score of the game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Oakland Raiders was 10-7 in favor of Oakland at halftime, but both teams offenses exploded in the second half.In the second half Oakland had no way of stopping Tampa Bay's offense especially rookie running back Doug Martin. Tampa Bay scored 35 points in the second half with one touchdown going to receiver Mike Williams with the other four going to Martin.Martin scored on a 45-yard run, a 67-yard run, a 70-yard run, and a one-yard run, and finished the game with 25 carries for 251 yards and the four touchdowns.Oakland scored 22 points in the fourth quarter scoring on two touchdown passes to Brandon Myers, a 13-yard touchdown pass to Marcel Reece and a successful two point conversion.With about two and a half minutes left in the game Oakland had the ball again on their own 38-yard line. However, an interception by Tampa Bay's Ahmad Black, Carson Palmer's third interception of the day, along with Martin's last touchdown run sealed the game for Tampa Bay as the Buccaneers won 42-32.In other news from the game Darren McFadden was injured with what is now being called a high ankle sprain. McFadden finished the game against Tampa Bay with only 17 yards on seven rushing attempts.With the loss Oakland falls to 3-5 and is in third place in the division.
