Gear cable / accessory
A gear cable is a flexible steel cable which runs from the gear shifter to the derailleur and causes the movement to the gear mechanism to change gears. Because it is such a simple component it is very often overlooked but a badly set up cable can ruin your gear changes and riding enjoyment no matter how much you have spent on shifters and mechs. Just ask anyone who has broken a cable on a ride and they'll tell you how much of an inconvenience it is.
This simple cable described above is what is known as the inner cable and will need to pass through an outer cable, a plastic coated housing which is reinforced with steel strands, at some point on its journey from shifter to mech. As the shifter pulls the inner cable, the outer cable provides the push against the mech and provides a stiffer channel for the cable to work against which keeps it taught.
The outer cable has 'cable stops' made of steel or hard plastic which form a stop against a point on the frame or against a mech. These 'stops' stop the outer cable from fraying and also provide a stable base for the outer cable to push against while the inner passes through.

WEPL Bristol & Somerset
Wembdon 220-8 lost to Midsomer Norton 221-7 by three wickets
WEMBDON'S fight for survival in the WEPL Bristol and Somerset division looks set to go down to the wire after they suffered a dramatic final over defeat at the hands of table topping Midsomer Norton on Saturday.
Rich Gower's half century carried Wembdon to 220-8 from their 50 overs, but 92 from Martin Cox, the division's leading run scorer, fired the leaders to victory.
Wembdon batted first on a decent wicket and with a loose first over (10) punished by Gower, Wembdon were rocking.
In the second over a sharp yorker cleaned up skipper Puddy (4) and usually steady Bowditch (1) edged to second slip an over later.
Wembdon were in trouble, but Gower battled hard well supported by Brockwell the pair added 47.
Wembdon moved on to 65 when Brockwell (12) departed caught in the 15th over.
Wembdon lost four wickets for 21 runs after drinks which included Gower stumped but after he made a classy 65 from 105 balls.
But an 86 run partnership for the 9th wicket between Pope (40no) and Bennett (36no) took Wembdon to a solid and 220 for 8 from 50 overs.
After tea Wembdon opening spells did not go as well as hoped.
An early drop catch at gully did not help proceedings but Brendan Pope did get the breakthrough in the fourth over trapping Blackmore LBW.
The second wicket would be 15 overs away and after several more dropped catches, MSN added 73 runs in that time.
A good catch by Eckley off Blackwell bowling made the difference and after 20 overs MSN had reached 86-2.
Bingham and Hubbard bowled out the final seven overs MSN needing 23 runs from 42 balls.
Bingham's first three overs went for six runs and Hubbard at the other end taken two wickets in his final over including that of Cox, left MSN requiring two runs from the final over.
Bingham hit his yorkers well but Nick Potter (33no) pinched a single off the first ball of the over to tie the scores.
Gould who was yet to face a ball then found the fielder for the next three balls before scampering through for the winning run.
Wembdon host Bedminster on Saturday 12.30pm start final home game of the season.
WEPL Bristol & Somerset Second XI Wembdon II 162-9 beat Ilminster II 161 by one wicket KIERAN Cosens held his nerve to carry Wembdon II to a tense one wicket victory over Ilminster on Saturday.
Cosens (8no) struck the winning runs in the 39th over, after a middle order collapse had put Wembdon in danger of throwing the game away.
Earlier, Daniel Watts (4-22), Jack Lowe (3-32) and Pete Gliddon (2-15) were in the wickets as Ilminster were all out for 161 in 42 overs.
Liam Pigden (36) and Phil Curd (30) put Wembdon in a strong position in reply – and Jordan Rawles (21) looked to be taking the hosts to a comfortable victory.
But when Mike Watts, Lucas Hawkins and Scott Hughes fell in quick succession, the game looked to be turning Ilminster's way.
But Cosens stayed in control to plunder the winnings runs and send his side to the win.

Edgar Davids believes "Christmas has been good" for Barnet despite the Bees suffering a 1-0 New Year's Day defeat to fellow League Two strugglers Aldershot Town.
Davids' side collected seven points from four matches over the busy festive period to move Barnet out of the relegation zone.
The Bees defeated Burton Albion and Martin Allen's Gillingham over Christmas before coming from two goals behind on Saturday to claim a draw at Exeter City.
A penalty from Craig Reid helped the Shots record a 1-0 win at Underhill on Tuesday but Davids, who is now in sole charge of the first team, is pleased with Barnet's points haul over Christmas.
He said: "Absolutely I would've taken that (seven points) but if you look at the last couple of games then I am a bit disappointed of course.
"But if you win against the top contenders for the league away from home then you are doing a good job.
"So I think Christmas has been good for us."

BATH coach Toby Booth says that reigning champions Leicester are still the litmus test for the rest of the Aviva Premiership.
Bath make the trip to Welford Road on Sunday to take on the Tigers, looking to bounce back from their 40-25 defeat at top-four rivals Northampton last weekend.
Booth's men saw their 11-match winning run come to an end at Northampton but the Rec coach declared himself pleased with the his side's campaign so far as they prepare for a tussle with the champions.
"I think with what Leicester are associated with, as a team that's been to repeated Grand Finals since its existence; Leicester is the benchmark for everybody," said Booth.
"I'm sure they're very pleased with their reputation and the respect they're given and as everyone finds out, you know how good you are as a side and the progress you've made by how well you play at Welford Road.
"We spoke about this group of three games – Quins, Northampton and Leicester – being an acid test to see where we are.
"You always need directional feedback about what you need to work on and how you're doing with the big boys.
"We are aspiring to get ourselves up in that upper tier and now we have a good sense of reality of where we are on that journey.
"The Premiership is a very tough competition and we know that week in, week out, you have to be at your best to give yourself the best chance – on the whole, we've done that, which is really encouraging.
"We're very positive about certain aspects but we need to make sure that we defend better. Our aim is to score points every week and we've got to ensure that we're strong in all facets of the game to allow that to be enough.
"We are halfway. What we've done until now we're pleased with on the whole but we know we've got plenty more improving, both collectively and individually to do."
Loosehead prop Davey Wilson won't be involved in Sunday's trip to Welford Road but Semesa Rokoduguni and Guy Mercer could return.

Did you know?
Cor, Vincent van Gogh's brother, served with the Boers in the volunteer International Legion.
The Battle of Elandslaagte and Siege of Ladysmith took place during the second South African War (formerly the Anglo-Boer War), which began on October 11 1899 after President Kruger, President of the Boer Republic, sent an ultimatum to the British Prime Minister, Joseph Chamberlain, which remained unanswered. Thus the hostilities between Boer and Brit resumed.
One of the first battles was the 1899 Battle of Elandslaagte near the tiny railway village of the same name between Ladysmith and Dundee in KwaZulu-Natal.
Initially a Boer patrol captured the railway station and partied all night on a stock of whiskey from a captured supply train.
But Major General French, who had taken command of the cavalry in Ladysmith, was sent to beat off the Boers. A bitter battle ensued with the British cavalry routing the enemy and cutting down men who had raised the white flag. Today, 2 poignant memorials on opposite hills pay tribute to the gallant soldiers who died on both sides.
By the beginning of November, 1899, however, the Boers had regrouped and the Siege of Ladysmith began.
There were 21 156 men, women and children besieged in the little town and over 4 500 horses, mules and oxen – many of the latter ending up as food for the starving population.
L.H. Gray of the Border Mounted Rifles wrote in his diary on December 31 that he had the 'first taste of horsemeat – very good-big fat carthorse killed by Sappers'.
But although many soldiers on both sides were killed and grievously wounded, it was disease and starvation that killed over 60% of the people in Ladysmith.
Both sides had mutual respect for the other: a Captain Thwaites wrote that the Boers 'fought decidedly well'; and on Christmas Day the Boers fired a shell over Ladysmith, which, when burst, was found to have a Christmas pudding in it.
Sundays were always quiet, because as one British tommy put it, 'Johnny Boer does not fight on the Lord's Day'.
The siege lasted for 118 days until General Buller relieved the town and the Boers retreated.

1st Annual Sushi-thon 2013 Colon Cancer Fundraiser
Organized by Galina and Pam and Co-sponsored by South Loop Dog PAC and West Town Walkers
Saturday, September 14, 2013 from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM (PDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Dear Friends and Family,
I believe that each and every one of us can make a difference in this world and that no good deed ever goes unnoticed. We make the world a better place by doing small things like helping people in need, donating to causes we believe in, spending time with people we love and never giving up hope.
This year was a difficult one for me and for many people I know. I lost two of my beautiful friends to colon cancer - Christine at 34 and Melissa at 30. Besides the shock, the pain, the tears, the anger…I felt helplessness and that feeling still lingers with me to this day. It's hard to imagine that in this day and age of (almost) flying cars and virtual reality machines we still don't have a cure for cancer. Cancer rates are rising exponentially, specifically colon cancer in young adults. It is no longer an "aging" disease, adults between the ages of 19-40 are largely affected and in most cases the disease goes undetected until it is too late. And still we have no answers, no cure.
It isn't all doom and gloom though; thanks to private funding many organizations have launched research and development efforts that include using genomic DNA composition and nano robots to derive customized therapies that will target specific cancer cells. One of those organizations is the Wunderglo Foundation, founded by a colon cancer patient who is on her 54th round of chemo! Gloria has rounded up a team of 6 doctors from UCLA dedicated to finding a cure for colon cancer. Their slogan is "cancer your time is up!" and I couldn't agree more. You can read more about this project at http://www.thewunderproject.org
I want to raise money for the Wunder Project by holding a fundraising event to honor those who have lost their battle to cancer, amongst them Christine and Melissa, and to support those who are still fighting it. We may not have a cure for cancer yet, but together we can help. We can act. We can donate. We can push cancer research in the right direction: the direction of finding a cure for cancer!
Below are the details for the very 1st Annual Sushithon 2013 Fundraiser. Chef Samantha will demonstrate how sushi is made so each and every one of you will get a chance to make your own sushi! There will be a silent auction, wine, sake and music so come prepared J
- What: Learn the art of sushi making while sipping on bottomless wine/sake and juking to funky music at the very 1st Annual Sushithon 2013 Fundraiser to benefit Colon Cancer Research
- Where: The Joynt, 650 N Dearborn St.
- When: Saturday, September 14th from 7-10pm
- Why: To raise money to find a cure for colon cancer and a blueprint for curing other cancers (to benefit The Wunder Project)
- Who: You…and anyone you might know who has been touched in some way by cancer or would like to participate in this event. Everyone is welcome to join, in fact, the more the merrier!
- Price: $65 donation + vino/sake (totally optional) J *All proceeds will go to the Wunder Project!
I wanted to thank my friend Peggy Haga who has relentlessly pushed me to get started on this and get the ball rolling and the wonderful social media guru, Jen Knoedl, who has walked me through every step of the way to make sure that this becomes a successful event. Also, the awesome sushi chef, Chef Samantha from ROKA, who has been instrumental in encouraging me through the entire planning process. Thank you for helping me organize this event. It means so much to me, words can never express; thank you for your time and efforts.
Now, let the party begin! Oh, and don't forget to bring your dancing shoes – there will be music!

The strength of the Australian dollar over the past couple of years has encouraged more Australians to take holidays overseas. Banks and other financial institutions have responded by upgrading their travel-money services and pricing them more competitively.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics says there were 844,200 short-term departures by Australian residents in September. That's almost a million of us going overseas for business or a holiday in one month. The ABS says the number going overseas has been growing at about 5 per cent a year. We may be pulling back on spending, but not when it comes to overseas travel.
The most popular way to arrange travel money is to buy a prepaid foreign currency card. It has the advantage of allowing you to lock in an exchange rate before you go, which helps with budgeting.
And because it's not connected to your bank or credit-card account, it offers a measure of security - if it's stolen, your other accounts are not compromised. However, prepaid cards have their drawbacks, such as multiple layers of cost, and there are alternatives to consider.
In a report published in July, the finance industry research group Canstar rated MasterCard's Cash Passport the best product on the market. Cash Passport is issued by a number of financial institutions, Australia Post and the travel agencies Jetset and Flight Centre.
What Canstar likes about Cash Passport is its low costs and its ease of use. If the card is bought online, it costs $5, which covers the initial currency load.
Cards are issued in pairs. Users can go online to check balances, do top-ups and transfer funds between currencies if they have chosen a multi-currency card.
Cash Passport does not charge any ATM withdrawal or balance-inquiry fees (the ATM provider will usually charge a fee). Users can load up to seven currencies and Canstar says the exchange rates are competitive.
When the consumer group Choice rated prepaid travel cards in March, its pick was the Commonwealth Bank Travel Money Card. Choice likes the product because it has no initial load fee (although it does have a $15 purchase price) and no monthly inactivity fee.
The Commonwealth Bank card has the lowest currency-conversion rate (at 2 per cent) for currencies not already loaded on the card. What this means is that if, for example, you are in the US and decide to make a side trip to Canada, you can convert some of the US dollars on your card to Canadian dollars for a fee of 2 per cent. Other cards charge 3 per cent to 5 per cent for this, and Cash Passport charges 8.45 per cent.
The market for prepaid travel cards has become very competitive. Last year, American Express made its entry into the market with the launch of its Global Travel Card.
The card has some attractive features - no expiry date and no inactivity fee. And there is no commission if it is bought at an Australia Post branch.
This year, the online foreign exchange specialist OzForex launched a travel-money card called OzForex Prepaid Travel Card.
The company is working with Macquarie Bank, which is the issuing bank and program manager. Customers pay $15 to buy the card and do the initial load but don't have to pay a fee to add extra money to the card.
Canstar says there are several advantages to prepaid travel cards. The exchange rate is locked in so you can budget for the holiday without worrying that a swing in the exchange rate will reduce available funds.
Multi-currency cards let you transfer funds from one currency to another. Travel-money cards can be used at ATMs, at point-of-sale terminals and online. You can check balances, reload and transfer online. And because a travel card is not connected to a transaction or credit-card account, losses by theft or loss are limited.
The main disadvantage is the fees, which can include purchase and initial load charges, and ATM, reload, currency conversion, inactivity and closure fees.
In addition to the ATM fee charged by the card issuer, the ATM provider will also charge a fee. Using your own bank account may be cheaper, just as convenient and just as safe.
Retail banks have also noticed how much Australians like to travel and some of them are now offering transaction and credit-card accounts with attractive features for travellers.
Last year, Citibank removed fees for overseas ATM withdrawals, overseas point-of-sale transactions and overseas funds transfers (to other Citibank accounts) from its Citibank Plus Transaction Account.
Citibank's Select credit card offers a rewards program that awards four points for each dollar spent overseas - compared with 1.5 points for each dollar spent in Australia - free transfers to and from airports, fast-tracked check-in, and a complimentary hotel stay each year.
The head of transaction services at Citibank, Sarah Black, says: ''We have a transaction account that you can use anywhere. The proposition we would put to customers is that you don't need any other product for travel.''
HSBC Australia has a 24-hour foreign exchange trading service with live pricing. HSBC claims its 24-hour live pricing service is a first in the retail and SME markets. Available via mobile and online banking platforms, Get Rate offers access to 19 currencies.
In August, HSBC launched a Platinum Qantas Visa Card offering two points for each dollar spent overseas - compared with one point for local purchases - complimentary passes to the Qantas Club, travel insurance and purchase protection insurance.
Since 2007, HSBC has offered an account called Premier, which gives customers access to services in 35 countries. Frequent travellers can have accounts in many countries and can view them all with a single online log-in.

Is file management essential, hazardous, or a relic? Judging from the comments posted to my column two weeks ago, "Microsoft's killer tablet opportunity," and to last week's piece, "Crowdsourcing the killer business tablet," the question is surprisingly controversial.
Some commenters were adamant that file management is dangerous because unsophisticated users don't know how to handle it. Because these hapless folks ask for help finding a missing document, they explain, the tools provided for keeping files organized are at fault.
[ Find out the 10 business skills every IT pro must master. | Get expert advice about planning and implementing your BYOD strategy with InfoWorld's 29-page "Mobile and BYOD Deep Dive" PDF special report. | For more of Bob Lewis' continuing IT management wisdom, check out his Advice Line blog and newsletter. ]
This isn't much of an argument. Depriving sophisticated users of valuable tools because other users don't know how to work with them makes little sense. Educating unsophisticated users is a far better solution, for reasons so obvious I trust they need no further explanation.
The more thoughtful arguments against file management have fallen into two groups. One insists that with effective search, file management becomes unnecessary. The other proposes using metadata as an alternative to traditional file management.
Where search falls short
Someday, search by itself might be as effective and convenient as navigating a well-organized folder tree. If it does, it won't be search as we use the term today.
As pointed out last week, the proof lies no further than your nearest browser. Bring up your favorite search engine and search for "using search instead of file management" -- in quotes. You won't get any hits, even though you and I know of at least two recent articles on the subject. (Well, you might get one hit, for this post, if it has been indexed by the time you perform the search.)
Next, search for "iPad file management critique" without the quotation marks. You'll get somewhere between 670,000 (Google) and 18,600,000 hits (Bing), which isn't narrow enough to be helpful. Again, no Advice Line commentary on the subject appears on the first three pages.
What's that you say? Make the search "ipad file management critique 'advice line'"? That works. It also demonstrates the importance of file management, because by adding "advice line" to the search, you identified the location of the article, along with the contents.
Don't get me wrong. I'd hate to do without search, even the irritatingly slow Windows search engine. There are times when it's the only tool for the job, even if it isn't very precise.
What search needs: Semantic indexing
Search won't be versatile enough to replace file management until someone perfects semantic search -- which actually is the wrong way to say what's needed. The right way to state the problem is that we need semantic indexing and won't have it for a very long time. Semantic indexing is the difference between finding the three files on my system that discuss "using search instead of file management" and only those files, versus getting either zero or a zillion hits.
Almost certainly, Apple won't be the company that develops it. Apple isn't a company that tackles hard computing problems. Even the very clever Siri is built on Nuance's speech-recognition technology. As is so often the case, Apple's brilliance was in its recognition that the technology was ready for adoption and polishing.
Microsoft also won't be the company that develops it. If it could, Bing would be more than a me-too search engine.
Nor will it be Google, because if Google could tackle the job, it would tackle the job. That's its core business, and Google has developers who are as good as they come.
Right now, the only company with the chops to solve semantic indexing is IBM. Watson shows that it's more or less possible. Scaling Watson up to the Web (not our subject right now) is a lot of scaling. Let me rephrase that: It's a lot of scaling.
Scaling Watson down to fit into an iPad, or a laptop, or even a server-based content management system? Easily as difficult as scaling it up.
Metadata: File management panacea
Quite a few commenters insisted that a well-organized, outline-based folder tree isn't just essential to finding what you're looking for -- it reveals the structure of the knowledge the system contains. That thread developed into quite an interesting conversation as to whether metadata can do a better job of sorting files into folders than folders can. The short answer is, yes, it can, and I want it. Right now.
The longer answer is (no, I'm not paid by the word): Yes, and taking advantage of this capability is both an opportunity and a burden. The opportunity comes from not having to store one file in just one branch of one tree. This is a big deal, because while folder trees are hierarchies -- trees, with branches and sub-branches -- information is cross-classified.
In a folder tree, for example, I either organize by subject and client within subject or client, and subject within client. When I consult with a client on enterprise technical architecture management, files either go into the Clients/DeepPocketsCorporation/ETAM folder or the ConsultingServices/ETAM/DeepPocketsCorporation folder, depending on how I've decided to organize them.
Now, imagine using metadata to simulate folder trees: When you "file" a document into a "folder," the user interface is fooling you. It looks just like you're filing the document, but what you're really doing is adding a keyword tag from multiple administered outlines. And because "outline" sounds like something you learned in middle school, the industry calls it a "taxonomy" instead.
In effect, so far as I know from the user interface, I'll stash these documents in both the Clients/DeepPocketsCorporation and ConsultingServices/ETAM folders. When the time comes to find them again, if I look in Clients/DeepPocketsCorporation, I'll find everything related to that client; if I look in ConsultingServices/ETAM, I'll find everything related to enterprise technical architecture management. If I check both locations at once, I find only the ETAM-related documents created for DeepPocketsCorporation.
The key to keywords
For individual users on individual desktop, laptop, or tablet computers, an administered keyword taxonomy would look and feel just like how they create a folder/subfolder taxonomy, except they'd be able to create more than one. Navigating them to find a file would be just like navigating a folder tree, again except that there would be more than one, and under the covers, unbeknownst to them, what would be happening is a keyword search.
On an enterprise level, IT (or the chief knowledge officer if you like that sort of thing) would provide administered taxonomies as part of the company content management system. Users would (I hope) still be free to develop their own private taxonomies, for use whenever the centrally administered ones don't do the job. Beyond this, they'd also be free to add ad hoc keyword tags to documents should that be more convenient. Whenever a user tags a document with an administered keyword, the document in question would be replicated in the content management system and automagically kept synchronized. This just makes sense: If a document fits an administered tag, by definition it's part of the company's fund of accumulated knowledge.
Who will sell this to us?
The sad fact is the odds of our getting this sort of capability any time soon are minimal. Apple is actively against it; Windows 8 will provide Windows-style folder trees and that's about it; and nobody in the Android space has shown any imagination at all.
The only possibility I can see is a company like Dropbox heading in this direction. In fact, if Apple ever turns iCloud Documents & Data into something more than a joke, this might be the only way for Dropbox and its competitors to stay in business.

WINCHESTER city centre is preparing for more bad weather as the downpour continues in one of the wettest winters on record.
Sandbags have been strategically placed across house entrances up and down Water Lane in case the river level continues to rise.
Nathan Khan, who works at the bar, 5 Bridge Street, said: "We've got a bit of water in our basement but you can still access it but I still think I'm going to have to get some sandbags. Pizza Express was closed yesterday because they had flooding in their basement."
The Weirs was closed earlier today and council workers later chained up the entrance way on Bridge Street.
But some other parts of Winchester has suffered relatively little damage.
Kate Smith, 39, of Fromond Road in Weeke, said: "We've had some damage in our back garden and to our fences from all the wind but it's not been too bad with the flooding. But my two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Laura, is quite happy with all the puddles. Everyone else is miserable whereas she's happy she gets to wear her welly boots so often."
James Bale, 42, of Wordsworth close in Fulflood, said: "Despite the name of where we live it's not been too bad at all. I came down here with my daughter, Charlotte (3), so she could play on the swings after swimming lessons. But we weren't sure if we'd be swimming in the pool or the river Itchen this morning!"

We may think that plants that remain rooted in the soil cannot escape from danger and thus they would immediately surrender to their enemies. However, studies indicate that it is not like what we thought. Plants often overcome their enemies using surprising tactics.
For example, plants sometimes produce harmful chemicals to drive insects that eat their leaves away, and sometimes they secrete chemical scents that attract hunter insects that feed on these bugs. There is no doubt that both tactics are very smart. However, this defense strategy is also imitated as a very effective method in activities carried out in agriculture. Jonathan Gershenzon, who carries out studies in the field of "plant defense genetics" at the Max Planck Institute of Chemical Ecology in Germany, thinks that if this smart strategy is imitated as needed, agriculture can be done without resort to pesticides in the future.
When attacked by caterpillars, some plants immediately secrete a chemical substance that attracts hunter insects that feed on these caterpillars.The insects called for help leave their eggs inside the caterpillars. Larvae dwell inside the caterpillar without its knowledege and hatch from their eggs, find the opportunity to grow by feeding on these caterpillars. Thus, the caterpillars that harm the crops are destroyed via an indirect strategy.
It is again through chemical methods that a plant realizes that its leaves are being eaten by a caterpillar.
The plant sends an alarm signal not because it loses its leaves but as a reaction to the chemicals present in the caterpillar's saliva. There are many important points in this even though it seems to be a simple matter. We can mention some of these as such:
1. How does the plant sense the caterpillar's chemical secretion?
2. How does the plant know that it will be rescued from caterpillars when it sends an alarm signal?
3. How does it know that the signal being sent invites insects?
4. What makes the plant directly invite insects (that feed on caterpillars)?
5. The alarm signal is not a sound but a chemical secretion. The chemicals used by insects have incredibly complex molecular structures. Even the tiniest deficit or mistake in the chemical may cause the signal to lose its meaning. In this case, how could the plant produce this chemical that sends the signal all by itself?
There is no doubt that a plant with no brain could not possibly come up with such complex solutions in the face of dangers, analyze chemical substances like a chemist and even produce them or conceive of a planned strategy. No doubt, defeating an enemy using indirect methods is an action that requires intelligence. Almighty Allah is the One Who creates the plant with these characteristics.

Kansas City, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - Kansas City Chiefs tackle Branden Albert and linebacker Justin Houston are both listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Albert has missed the past two games with a knee injury, while Houston has sat out three straight contests with a subluxation of his right elbow.
The Chiefs, however, figure to get a boost from the return of punt returner/wide receiver Dexter McCluster, who missed last week's game against Oakland with an ankle injury that got infected.
McCluster, who has returned two punts for touchdowns this year, is listed as probable. He has 46 catches for 438 yards and a score.
Tight end Anthony Fasano (concussion/knee) is also probable after missing the past two games.

Does anyone ever get really really depressed about it? L8ly ive been getting sad all the time worrying about my future. I think about to many "what ifs" like what if i cant have a kid because my medication will hurt it. Or what if my medication stops working and i switch medications but it really changes me completely. Cuz i have been on several medications and every 1 has there own weird side effects some of which change my personality, what if i am married with kids when that happens and it effects the relationship between me and my husband? What if i have a seizure while im driving and wreck and hurt soembody or worse kill somebody. What if something happens to me were they need to get me on some kind of medication right away but htey cant cuz of the one im already on could interact badly? Theres just so many more. Im considering brain surgury just so then i could get all of these out of my head. Does anyone else ever feel like this?
Re: Just really sad about everything
You're not alone. I feel this way all the time and its starting to bug everyone around me.
I admit I had the suicidal thoughts and the deep depression but I got some help and am doing much better."What ifs"only dig you more down into depression, a shovel in a sense.Instead of worrying about the future have fun now! Be with friends,go to school or church.The more active you are the better you will feel.

Re: Just really sad about everything
Don't feel alone,when bad things happen,its seems that the first thing we do is second guess ourselves.
I'm sure your not the one who feels the way do because i feel the same way about some of yours. Its hard not to let things get the best of you,mine still get to once in a while and i been living with E now for almost 6 years.The best things to do is stay close to the people who have always been good to you,find sombody that your comforable talking to,including this site,keep your head up,say to yourself,"It may take some time,but i will do everthing i can do to achive everything i want to do",and most importantly,KEEP A SMILE ON YOUR FACE AND BE PROUD OF YOURSELF.The only thing that holds you back is yourself.
Take care of yourself, Steve
Re: Just really sad about everything
chelsea, i may have the mildest known form of epilepsy, but i truly understand what you mean.
these are things that you cant change in your life....who knows, if you are a teen like me, you have the best chance of growing out of it, and i know someone who has.
you just cant sit there and think negative. there are negatives and positives, negatives hold us back, positives push us forward. ignore the fact that you have epilepsy. take care of it, but just ignore it. just make it another chore and move on. epilepsy is one of those super rare disorders that dont affect our ability to work, hang out with friends, have fun, and be successfull in life. i dont see what there is to be so depressed about.
so what if you cant have a baby? adopt one.
so what if you feel uncomfortable driving? learn your triggers and avoid them while driving.
so what if people think you are weird? they are jerks that have been hidden from life's reality by mommy. they probably couldnt handle stress or sickness as nearly as well as you.
chelsea, a little while after i was diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, i had no desire to carry on in life. if i had a gun, then this account wouldnt exist. thankfully, i decided to ignore my disorder altogether, and i am living my life the way i want.
if you have any questions, for gods sake ask me, i think i just taught myself a few lessons in this post. you can also email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Re: Just really sad about everything
I was just talking with my husband about how sad I feel, and I'm still on the verge of tears as I write this, but I wanted to tell you what my husband just said to me. He said, "Michelle, we are lucky that we live in these modern-times where we have great doctors who deal with this sort of thing. Think about what it must have been like a hundred years ago." That is so true. Hey, If the meds don't work, or if the side effects are so bad that your quality of life is seriously compromised, then I would suggsest, from what I have read, to look into seeing if you are a candidate for surgery. From what I have read surgery can be an avenue, and for some, the only avenue to get your life back.
Best, Michelle
Re: Just really sad about everything
Im a 26 year old mom who was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 16. Depression is a common thing for most people who have epilepsy. I have those days where I feel like im just so tired of all these different medications and why did this happen to me. I went to a specialist in Rochester, NY and tried to see if I would be a canidate for the surgery, but unfortunatley my seizures arent in a focalized point. So basically its just hit and miss now with meds. As for having a baby I myself was worried about that I chose to have a C-section instead of natural birth, and I couldnt breastfeed because of the meds i was on but i have a beautiful amazing 6yr old son now. As for driving that always makes me sad I havent driven since i was 16, but its something you learn to accept. Also, for worrying about how your gonna treat your husband or friends and family, if they love you they will understand and always be there for you. I used to get embarassed when Id have a seizure, but my family has always been there to help me out to take care of me after. Trust me, when your with the ones you love, things dont have to seem so hopeless. Take care of yourself Chelsea, and I wish you the best of luck!
Re: Just really sad about everything
Hello, I am Shenoah. (16)
Having E can make you worry a lot, but don't. Life is full of ups and downs, regardless of the fact that you have E. Things can change, and will. You shouldn't worry about "what if" becasue if you spend your time with "what if" you will never "do". My brother (Joe, 19) has had E for a year and a half, and he gets depressed and worried too, one thing you SHOULDN'T do though, is spend all your time thinking about it. It could actually cause you to have a SZ! There are a lot of things you can do with E. If you settle down and start a family, then your man will just have to love you and understand you enough to know, that it is the medication, not you, and it is what needs to be done to protect you. If he loves you, EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.
Don't get sad at looking into your future, look at E as an oppurtunity to share your story, life, and tribulations with others, therefor helping them. You can do a lot for people just like you and my brother.

Re: Just really sad about everything
i used to not feel anything wrong with me. seizures were a part of my life. end of story.
but now that i'm in college, everything has changed. YOUR NOT ALONE. i felt alone for a while thinking what have i to live for? tried to kill myself as well. dont do that. but lately, i've just been really sad and wish i was someone else.
but consider this: you are lucky. you can have an understanding of life that no one else really can. epileptics can have kids. medications come and go, most do have side effects but you just have to find the one that is good for you. everyone's different. with enough luck, you will find the one to make your seizures under control.
lastly, dont try and fight this alone. come here regularly. find someone like you or someone you find really interesting and talk to them on a daily basis. i found myself a few pen pals to email every day. it really helps to have a person also waiting for an email from you. constant peer support. cuz face it, the people around you in every day life who dont have epilepsy, can say they know what your going thru, but most times they dont.
hope this helped a little! feel free to email me any time k, hun?

Understanding Wireless Storage: Kingston Wi-Drive and Seagate GoFlex Satelliteby Vivek Gowri on 11/21/2011 2:30 PM EST

Glibous - Monday, November 21, 2011 - linkI really like how the WD product looks but as you said in the first page...looks like a re-purposed iPhone 3G. It is very similar. I'm just hoping Apple doesn't find a way to use that in another patent war. I don't think WD has the same capital as Samsung to fight them off.. Reply
Impulses - Monday, November 21, 2011 - linkThese things would be irrelevant if Apple included microSD slots and/or USB slots into their devices. 32GB Class 4 cards from Sandisk can easily be found for $35.
Almost every Android tablet can be connected to a portable USB HDD or any thumbdrive with a USB OTG cable; or an extra adapter in the case of tablets like the Galaxy 10.1 and TF which lack USB w/o a dock and only have the propietary charging ports on board ($10 adapter converts that to USB). Even some phones can use OTG USB cables to hook up HDDs, gamepads, etc.
Just saying... Reply
Johnmcl7 - Monday, November 21, 2011 - linkThis is exactly what I was thinking when reading the article and surprised none of it is mentioned, I can certainly see why these devices may be useful for Apple owners but less so for Android over time. I currently have a Galaxy Note so if I was needing more storage I can either pop in a micro SD card (or have multiple and swap between them) or simply plug in a standard USB flash drive or hard drive through USB OTG.
John Reply
melgross - Monday, November 21, 2011 - linkHonestly, most other companies use SD slots so they can cheap out on the memory they offer. Often when buying one, it comes with even less memory than the lowest memory version of the Apple device, forcing you to buy more just to get even.
In addition, when you rely not hat, as I did with my Treo 700p, you find that your always changing out cards, because you have different things on each card. With bigger cards these days that's less of an issue, but it still exists. And it's only now that Google is making storage on cards the same as internal storage. Truth is, that's been a bitch.
The only annoying thing about the way Apple does it is to not allow mass storage directly in USB. But then, do you really want external storage dangling off your device? I don't.
The improvement to the Kingston that I would like to see is for it to not have any internal storage, but to have a UDMA 7 CF slot instead. Reply
medi01 - Monday, November 21, 2011 - linkBS.
Most other companies do not have loyal fun base that is eager to pay 100$ per 16Gb "extra" memory.
Same goes for your "often" argument. Most Android tablets start with 16Gb AND have micro SD slot. Reply
medi01 - Monday, November 21, 2011 - linkI wish I new which device with micro SD card support has it "dungling out of the device". Maybe ifanboi need to look around. Reply
inplainview - Monday, November 21, 2011 - linkWhat? Could not quite comprehend the insult you were trying to throw. Try again please. Reply
inplainview - Monday, November 21, 2011 - linkI know you from AI mate. How's things and your arguments are spot on here as over there. Reply
Johnmcl7 - Monday, November 21, 2011 - linkThe Note offers either 16GB or 32GB (more than the base Apple devices) and as it supports 64GB (and more beyond) SDXC cards that takes its capacity beyond the largest Apple offer and my last phone was 32GB onboard and microSD expansion. And as SDXC cards expand, it's likely the Note can take more memory than the next Iphone as well. Google is not making internal the same as external, that's up to the handset manufacturers and it's not uniform across Android devices. I don't see your Treo example as relevant as the market has changed substantially in the many years since it was released.
As for devices hanging off the devices, if it's sitting docked or similar (which is where I'd be using a storage device) then I wouldn't mind having a cable coming off it just as I have no problem running it with headphones attached.
Plus at worse if I really want to use a wifi storage devices as reviewed here, I still can. However it's not been a problem previously and doubt it will be now Reply
sethiol - Monday, November 21, 2011 - linkDitto. Just one more reason why I tend to avoid most Apple products. Reply
inplainview - Monday, November 21, 2011 - linkGood point but again, who is forcing you to by anything Apple? Don't like their products then don't buy them. The problem that you have is mistaking your desires and needs as that of others. Many, many people have shown that they are more than content with the current memory levels that come in iPhones. Second, not everyone that buys an iPhone or iProduct for that matter is at geek level 20. These are average people with average needs. If you haven't figured out Apple strategy by now, then there is really no hope for you in the future. Reply
medi01 - Friday, November 25, 2011 - link"Others" are buying wireless media, to compansate for lack of normal slots on device.
Want to talk about "the needs" again? Reply
inplainview - Monday, November 21, 2011 - link@Impulses andJohnmci7,
Are you still complaining about the lack of mini SD slots on an iPhone after all these years? Really? Have you been asleep or under a rock? Apple is NEVER, and don't like to use never, but I can with confidence here, gonna add an external slot to their devices. This is how it is and how it has been and will continue. Android is always there for your money if you're not happy.
Now in regards to these two products. I own them both and have to admit that the Kingston is the easier of the two to use. There is a Mac OS X problem that will eventually prevent the WD from mounting. Included in the WD box is Paragon's NTFS's software to help you mount the drive, but the driver and Mac OS X have issues. Eventually something gets hosed up and she's no work no more. For Mac users, if you format the drive to HFS+, you will more likely lose the wifi function of the drive as well. While this might be a great drive for Windows users, it is something in my opinion that Mac users should avoid. Reply
Johnmcl7 - Monday, November 21, 2011 - linkNo, wasn't complaining - guess this is a sore point for you. My point was simply that these wifi products are clearly more useful for the Apple devices which lack expansion as opposed to the Android devices which do, both internally and externally - the article seems to miss this completely.
John Reply
inplainview - Tuesday, November 22, 2011 - linkNot a sore spot just that I see the difference between this being a geek site, catering to uber-power users verses the normal users who could not care less. People want phones that work, not phones that are tweaked, fiddled with. Other than some of the super-uber-OTT-geeks here, who really has the time or desire to think about if their device has SD slots, or this or that processor or graphics unit. What I like about this site is that it does not appeal to the average user, meaning that when you come here, you know what you're getting. This is what makes this site better than Macrumors. Reply
hmurchison - Tuesday, November 22, 2011 - linkThese products exist to share content. A simple Camera Connection kit for $29 allows me to easily add up to 32GB of storage. These devices are more defined by the sharing software that lets them serve data to other devices. Reply
inplainview - Monday, November 21, 2011 - linkGreat article by the way Vivek.
This weekend I will try to do a TimeMachine rollback on my MBP to the point before the Paragon drive pooped the bed and see if I can get thing get things peachy again. The combination of having to use a 3rd party driver just to get the thing to show up is a deal breaker for me. Reply

Kuhnian - Tuesday, November 22, 2011 - linkCan we write data to these devices ? Especially to the bigger one, the GoFlex Satellite.
I'm an amateur ohotographer and the first time I heard of Satellite I thought that it could be the final mobile storage solution for photo safaris (100's to 1000's of raw photos in just one session at max resolution needs more than one sd card). I was thinking of connecting my Canon 60D with Satellite through an Eye-Fi card. But at first there wasn't enough info on the net and now after this review I'm beginning to suspect that it can do what I'm dreaming of. Reply
inplainview - Tuesday, November 22, 2011 - linkYes you can write to it, but if you are on a Mac, there are issues. Apparently there is a problem in Mac OS X 17.x that is causing the Sat not to show up in Finder. When you buy it they give you Paragon's NTFS software that is supposed to let you mount NTFS volumes under Mac OS, but it does not work. If you were to format the drive to read HFS+, you will lose the wifi capabilities, so in effect you can: a) Format the drive HFS+ and lose wifi, b) take your chances with the Paragon software and hope it does not hose your system, c) skip this thing all together and just use a regular external drive. While I like the idea from Seagate, it is not very reliable. Reply
Kuhnian - Tuesday, November 22, 2011 - linkI think you missed the point. I mean, can my Eye-Fi adapter send photo data to this disk wirelessly not over the usb (or other ports) cable. Reply
name99 - Wednesday, November 23, 2011 - linkThe real answer, surely, is that these drives should support WebDAV.
I'm kinda amazed that neither of them do --- this seems to indicate extraordinary incompetence on the part of both companies (backed up by this NTFS/reformatting the drive loses wifi nonsense --- WTF --- I perform what is essentially a SW operation and I lose HW functionality???)
IF such a drive supported WebDAV it could then be used by a variety of iOS and Android apps, which support WebDAV, and could (simultaneously, if that is useful) be attached to Finder or Windows Explorer, to allow a PC to easily add and modify files. Reply
marvdmartian - Tuesday, November 22, 2011 - linkIs how easily/possible it would be to take the Seagate drive, and swap out the 2.5" hdd for a decent sized SDD?
If it's do-able, that could easily give you the best of both worlds......the speed of the SSD, as well as the lower power consumption. You might not want to go whole hog with a 512GB SSD (as that would probably be prohibitively expensive), but even a 100 to 200GB capacity would still give you plenty of storage, and not break the bank.

name99 - Wednesday, November 23, 2011 - linkGiven that we've already been told reformatting the drive LOSES the WiFi functionality --- apparently the genius designers neither included that functionality on separate ROM, nor used firmware tricks to prevent that section of the disk from being touched by a reformat --- swapping drives seems highly unlikely to generate any useful result. You will now have a larger than usual 2.5" drive, with NO WiFi capability, and which cost you a lot more than a standard 2.5" drive. Reply

hmurchison - Tuesday, November 22, 2011 - linkI'm surprised the G-Technology drive is missing from this article. It's different from the GoFlex in that it doesn't offer a battery but it does have Gig-E ethernet so you can put it on a physical network when you need it.
I don't know why people keep ranting about MicroSD card slots. They're fine for augmenting storage but the ideal behind these products is sharing to multiple users. So if I'm traveling with my kids I can take a loaded drive and they can choose which content they want to watch or listen to. You can do that by simply shoving in SD card. Reply

Mets' offense sputters in Torres' fine spot start
Righty fires five scorless frames; Duda belts 22nd homer for lone run
NEW YORK -- Despite a strong outing by Carlos Torres in an emergency start, the Mets' bats couldn't produce. Again.
Torres, who started in place of Bartolo Colon, fired five scoreless innings in a no-decision, as Monday's 4-1 loss to the Cubs on Monday was the fifth consecutive game the Mets finished with four or fewer hits, tying a franchise record. The Mets are also the last Major League team to do so in September 2004.
"There's no easy answers," manager Terry Collins said.
David Wright walked back to the home dugout after swinging and missing at a Hector Rondon fastball in the ninth to cap his 0-for-4 day. The Mets' third baseman heard boos from the crowd of 23,271 at Citi Field. A leadoff double by Daniel Murphy put the potential tying run in the on-deck circle with the middle of the Mets' order due up, but Wright struck out and Lucas Duda flied out before Travis d'Arnaud whiffed to end the game.
Duda provided the Mets' lone run with a fourth-inning homer. His 22nd blast of the year came after right-hander Kyle Hendricks threw him three sinkers. Duda watched the first, missed the second and connected on the third, sending it more than 400 feet beyond the wall in right-center.
Other than that, the offense was listless. Curtis Granderson, Murphy and Matt den Dekker were the only other Mets to record a hit against Hendricks, along with relievers Neil Ramirez and Rondon.
Hendricks got through seven innings on 94 pitches.
"It's easy to look at his pitch count and say we were too aggressive, but if you don't go up there and swing, you're going to be down 0-1, 0-2 and that's no fun either," said Wright, whose dealing with a sore left shoulder. "It's OK to be aggressive. We're just not squaring the ball up, and the pitches we are [hitting], we're either rolling them over and getting ground balls, or maybe getting under them a little too much and hitting fly balls."
Added Hendricks: "We had a really good meeting before the series, and everybody went out there with a real good game plan, and both catchers called real good games."
It won't get any easier for the Mets, who head to Oakland to face Scott Kazmir and Jeff Samardzija -- two All-Stars -- before dealing with the Dodgers' loaded rotation over the weekend.
Receiving little offensive support on Monday was Torres, who didn't find out he was starting until arriving at the ballpark in the morning. Colon, who went to the Dominican Republic to be with his ailing mother, will be placed on the bereavement list prior to Tuesday's series opener with the A's.
The Cubs, however, scored single runs off relievers Dana Eveland and Buddy Carlyle, and Javier Baez added a ninth-inning, two-run homer off Jenrry Mejia.
Anthony Rizzo's homer off Carlyle in the eighth, a laser to right-center, broke a 1-1 tie and ended the right-hander's 13-inning scoreless streak.
Torres didn't have particularly sharp command of the strike zone -- he threw 48 of 86 pitches (56 percent) for strikes and issued first-pitch strikes to just seven of 20 batters -- but the results were solid. He struck out six while scattering three hits and two walks.
Torres' biggest jam came when Chicago loaded the bases with two outs in the fourth. Welington Castillo swung and missed at a cutter away to end the inning.
"Toward the end, you could tell I was getting a little tired," Torres said. "I just needed to get back in there, get on top of the ball a little more and drive it down, vs. leaving them a little higher."
It was Torres' first start since last September, and this outing was his longest of the season. He went about it carefully.
"You start with one and hope you get through one and go from there," Torres said. "Because that very easily could have been two innings and out of the ballgame with eight runs. So you have to go with one inning no matter what, whether you're starting or relieving."
Most days, it would've been good enough for a win. Most days, the Mets' offense doesn't get shut down the way it has of late.
"I don't think it's a mindset or I don't think it's a philosophical thing," Wright said. "It's a more of execution, and we're not doing that."

Hello all,
I am quite new to Python and I need to code something, but I am not really sure how to make it. I have few ideas, but I don't really know how to write the syntax.
The problem is as it follows:
You have a Python function getRandomLetter that returns a random letter of the alphabet. Call the function two times - count the number those calls that result in a vowel to see if you get two vowels in a row. Repeat THAT process 100,000 times and count the number of times two vowels were selected in a row.
HINT: Use the in operator to determine if a character is in a string:
If getRandomLetter() in 'AEIOU':
Thanks in advance.

• vulgar •
Pronunciation: vêl-gêr • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: 1. Of the unwashed masses, plebian, related to common people, the riff-raff, the hoi-polloi. 2. Common, base, ordinary. 3. Bawdy, foul, immodest, immoral, impure, indecent, indelicate, lascivious, lecherous, lewd, licentious, lubricous, lurid, obscene, offensive, profane, profligate, prurient, ribald, salacious, shameful, shameless, vile, wanton.
Notes: All the words we have for the third sense of today's Good Word makes us wonder why we had to corrupt a perfectly good word to create another. But so it goes. Over the centuries this word's good meaning has slowly tumbled one to a pejorative one. The noun for this word is vulgarity and a vulgar word is a vulgarism.
In Play: I hear today's bad Good Word used most often as a synonym of profane: "I was shocked to hear Ben de Hellenbaque use vulgar language around such proper ladies." However, the sense of commonplace remains: "Maud Lynn Dresser is a woman of vulgar tastes, especially in clothes."
Word History: Today's word comes from Latin vulgaris "related to common people", from vulgus "people, the masses, a crowd". Latin inherited it from the Proto-Indo-European root *welg- "to crowd, throng". which turned up in Sanskrit as vargah "division, group". It kept its original meaning in the Germanic languages: German Volk "people", as in Volkswagen "car of the people", and English folk. (Today's rather tawdry Good Word was suggested by Ella Minnow Pea of Smoketown, Pennsylvania.)

Cobb extends mastery of Yanks, snaps Rays' skid
Righty takes shutout into ninth after fanning eight and walking none
ST. PETERSBURG -- Alex Cobb kept the second-guessers in check on Sunday, and the Yankees' bats, too.
After being moved up in the rotation because of Thursday's off-day, Cobb validated the decision by carving up the Yankees in an 8-3 win.
"It worked out good, you know," Cobb said. "When they told me I was pitching against the Yankees, you knew it was going to be a big game. Unfortunately, losing those first two games [of the series] made it more of a must-win. Not only that, having the bullpen kind of eaten up, I wanted to go out there and attack and have them put the ball in play and hopefully go deep in the game. And fortunately, I was able to."
With the win -- which came after taking a devastating loss on Saturday -- the Rays snapped a three-game losing streak, improved to 25-24 and crept to within five games of first place in the American League East.
Cobb "was wonderful," manager Joe Maddon said. "After what happened yesterday, to be able to come back and right us like that was outstanding. He was that good."
Cobb appeared to be in cruise control from the outset, keeping the Yankees off balance thanks to solid fastball command and an assortment of well-placed curveballs and changeups.
"I had [fastball location] today, being able to go to both sides of the plate, and the fastball movement was good," Cobb said. "When you have that, you're able to set up your other pitches. Kind of use one offspeed pitch the first half of the game and the other the other half, and then mix and match later in the game. It all starts with your fastball."
The Yankees did not get a hit until Jayson Nix's infield single with one out in the third. Replays showed that Nix was out, which would have been more significant had Robinson Cano not gotten the Yankees' second hit to lead off the seventh. Until that, Cobb was perfect save for Nix's hit.
"He was good today, man," Cano said. "You have to give it to him. His changeup was moving and everything was moving pretty good, especially the front-door fastball."
Ichiro Suzuki tripled with one out in the eighth on a hit that could have been a single had center fielder Desmond Jennings not tried to make a diving catch. To Cobb's credit, he did not get rattled. Instead he retired the next two hitters on groundouts to keep his shutout intact.
Cobb used 101 pitches to get through eight innings, which earned him the opportunity to take the mound in the ninth, but Brett Gardner broke up the shutout when he led off the frame with a home run to right. Cobb was lifted with one out and his sixth win of the season seemingly assured, though the Yankees made it interesting by scoring twice more before Joel Peralta got the final two outs.
Cobb is now 2-0 with a 1.08 ERA in two starts against the Yankees this season, coming within two outs of a complete game both times. He improved to 3-1 with a 2.21 ERA in five career starts against New York.
"That kind of team, it's tough to have one certain approach against them," Cobb said. "They make such good adjustments, and that's why they're [tied for] first right now. I think that maybe the positive outings come from me being a little more focused, a little more 'bear down,' a little more excited for the game. These big games, I love to have them, and they really make me focus a lot more."
Yankees manager Joe Girardi praised Cobb.
"The young man knows how to pitch," Girardi said. "He locates extremely well. He's got one of the best changes or split-change -- whatever you want to call it -- in the game. He's pitching."
Tampa Bay swung the bats well all day, but its first two runs against starter CC Sabathia came via one of the odder scoring sequences of the season.
Sabathia hit Sean Rodriguez with one out in the second before Yunel Escobar and James Loney each reached on a fielder's choice to load the bases. Jose Lobaton followed with a soft line-drive single into center field to drive home Rodriguez. Sam Fuld's sacrifice fly then scored Escobar.
Rodriguez chose a more conventional path in the third, hitting his second home run of the season with Evan Longoria onboard. Loney's two-run homer highlighted a three-run sixth that pushed the Rays lead to seven runs.
Though their bats came alive, the Rays' hitters wanted to talk only about Cobb.
"Unbelievable," Rodriguez said. "He's been good all year. He's been as consistent as you can find on the mound next to anybody in the big leagues."

The pleura includes two thin layers of tissue that protect and
cushion the lungs. The inner layer (visceral pleura) wraps around the lungs and
is stuck so tightly to the lungs that it cannot be peeled off. The outer layer
(parietal pleura) lines the inside of the chest wall. The very thin space
between the layers is called the pleural cavity. A liquid, called pleural
fluid, lubricates the pleural cavity so that the two layers of pleural tissue
can slide against each other.

After Paul D. finds his old slave friend Sethe in Ohio and moves in with her and her daughter Denver, a strange girl comes along by the name of "Beloved." Sethe and Denver take her in and then strange things begin to happen. Set in rural Ohio several years after the Civil War, this profoundly affecting chronicle of slavery and its aftermath is Toni Morrison's greatest novel, a dazzling achievement, and the most spellbinding reading experience of the decade. A brutally powerful, mesmerizing story. At the center of Toni Morrison's fifth novel, which earned her the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, is an almost unspeakable act of horror and heroism: a woman brutally kills her infant daughter rather than allow her to be enslaved. The woman is Sethe, and the novel traces her journey from slavery to freedom during and immediately following the Civil War. Woven into this circular, mesmerizing narrative are the horrible truths of Sethe's past: the incredible cruelties she endured as a slave, and the hardships she suffered in her journey north to freedom. Just as Sethe finds the past too painful to remember, and the future just "a matter of keeping the past at bay," her story is almost too painful to read. Yet Morrison manages to imbue the wreckage of her characters' lives with compassion, humanity, and humor. Part ghost story, part history lesson, part folk tale, Beloved finds beauty in the unbearable, and lets us all see the enduring promise of hope that lies in anyones future.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's swim team decided to rewrite some records as the Lions sent off their seniors in a 172-90 domination of Rollins in SSC action from the Bowman Pool deck.
After honoring four outgoing women's seniors: Paula Carvajal, Chloe Pellican, Kristy Marques and Bianca Muniz the Lions went to work, with their A relay team of Muniz, Carvajal, Rachael Cunio and Kaitlyn Hite winning the 200 IM Relay by over a full second.
The opening victory propelled the Saint Leo ladies to a solid victory as the Lions claimed 12 victories in 16 events, but it was the 100 Breaststroke and the 200 Breaststroke where newcomer Nicole Weber etched her name in the Saint Leo record books. She finished the 100 Breaststroke at 1:04.25, besting the old time by almost a full second. In the 200 Breaststroke she touched with a time of 2:15.60, beating the old record by five seconds and missing an NCAA 'A' cut by a mere tenth of a second.
In additional to the new times on the big board at the Bowman Pool, the Lions saw Stephanie Martinez pick up victories in the 1000 Free, 200 Free and 500 Free while Weber added a 200 IM victory to her impressive slate of wins on the day.
Carvajal, in the final home meet of her career, claimed twin wins on the day, picking up the top spot in the 50 Free and in the next event, the 100 Free. Chantal Bouthillier added to her team's impressive day with a win in the 200 Fly, besting her competition by almost three seconds, while Alyssa Black claimed a narrow triumph in the 100 Fly.
The Lions closed out the day with a 200 Free Relay win from the Lions' A relay team of Martinez, Marques along with Katie Sanacore and Lindsay Albanese who claimed a two second win over their opponents.
In total, it was a solid outing for the Lions as the tune up for the Conference Championships is now fully underway.
The Lions will have nearly a month to prepare for the Sunshine State Conference Championship which will kick off on Feb. 19 in Orlando at the YMCA Aquatic Center.

Even in its boom days, Houston couldn't compare with Sheikh Zayed Road, the highway that connects downtown Dubai with the massive port and free-trade zone at Jebel Ali. On both sides of the road, a forest of construction cranes are at work on high-rise offices and condominiums. One Dubai-based magazine claims that one-quarter of the world's construction cranes are now in Dubai. A trip down Sheikh Zayed Road seems to confirm that assessment. The entire region is one big, dusty construction zone.
There are other indicators of Dubai's emergence as a world power. Office rents in the emirate are now among the highest in the world -- vying with London and Tokyo for that dubious distinction. Shipping volumes through the huge port at Jebel Ali, the largest man-made harbor between Singapore and Rotterdam, continue to soar. And feeding all of that growth is an enormous amount of financial activity. For the energy industry, the most important financial development is the emergence of the Dubai Mercantile Exchange (DME). Later this year, the exchange will begin trading sour crude futures based on Omani crude. Thus, for the first time, crude oil coming out of the Persian Gulf will have its own benchmark price – one that is not reliant on West Texas Intermediate or North Sea Brent.
This is a big deal. Not only is it indicative of the decline of those two grades of crude in terms of their importance to the global oil supply, it also signals the ongoing shift in the global financial markets toward the Persian Gulf. Yes, London, New York, Singapore, and Tokyo will continue to be hubs of financial activity. But the flood of capital that is surging into the Persian Gulf, thanks to high oil prices and a booming real estate business, is reshaping the global financial landscape. And that shift should be noted by the isolationists in Washington who continue to demonize the Arab world and seek to impose America's will through militarization instead of economic engagement.
Over breakfast at the Emirates Towers Hotel, Gary King, the CEO of the DME, told me that the emergence of the new futures contract is indicative that the Persian Gulf is "the center of the world's biggest hydrocarbon province. Most of [the] growth in oil consumption is in Asia-Pacific. So it's a natural shift in gravity. Our timing is very opportune to be in that center of gravity."
While the center of gravity is shifting eastward, American politicians are stuck in the rhetoric of protectionism and xenophobia. A few months ago, Hillary Clinton, joined by a phalanx of Republicans, denounced the acquisition of a few American ports by Dubai Ports World, the company which runs Jebel Ali. A few months before that, indignant Congressional leaders, cheered on by the neoconservatives, blocked CNOOC's acquisition of Unocal. America is also closing its borders. Witness the increasing militarization of the Mexican border and the continuing use of illegal immigration as a wedge issue the Democrats.
While the U.S. closes its borders and its markets to foreigners, Dubai has opened both. Workers from all over the world -- skilled and unskilled -- are flooding into Dubai and they are finding work. The port at Jebel Ali is open to all comers. It not only hosts ships from the U.S. Navy, it also provides fueling and other services for warships belonging to the Chinese, Japanese, and British navies. The massive seaport will soon have a massive airport to go with it. Next year, the Jebel Ali airport will open -- and it will have six runways. Like the port, it will be a free-trade zone in which customs and duties won't be required unless the goods moved through the zone are actually imported into Dubai.
While Dubai invests in infrastructure, the U.S. bleeds cash. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are costing American taxpayers $2.5 billion per week. That war spending is a big reason why the U.S. government's total indebtedness is increasing at a rate of $1.7 billion per day. Then there's the burgeoning trade deficit, which will likely exceed the record $716 billion recorded last year.
Sometime in the fourth quarter of this year, the DME will begin trading sour crude. After that, it plans to trade jet fuel futures. After that, who knows? Natural gas, LNG, LPG, and other energy products are a natural for the DME. That sound you hear is the sound of the shifting world economy -- away from the U.S. and toward the Persian Gulf.

It may not be as sexy as then-EU industry commissioner Günter Verheugen getting photographed on a nude beach with his female chief of staff. Or as consequential as research commissioner Édith Cresson getting caught putting her dentist on the EU payroll, which led to the entire Santer Commission stepping down. But the bribery scandal leading to the forced resignation of health commissioner John Dalli in October seems unwilling to go away.
The latest wrinkle in the affair – in which a close friend of Dalli's has been accused of soliciting a €60m bribe on Dalli's behalf – was sparked by Malta Today, the island's weekly newspaper, which obtained the confidential report on the Dalli investigation conducted by Olaf, the EU's anti-fraud office, and posted it on its website.
Although the report, which Commission officials confirm is authentic, says Olaf found "no conclusive evidence" of Dalli's direct participation "as instigator or as mastermind" of the bribery scheme, it is full of ill-timed phone calls and secret meetings between Dalli and Silvio Zammit, his friend and accused bribe solicitor – enough, Olaf found, to conclude he may have violated the code of conduct for European commissioners:
[T]here are a number of unambiguous and converging circumstantial pieces of evidence gathered in the course of the investigation indicating that Commissioner John Dalli was indeed aware of the machinations of Mr Silvio Zammit and the fact that he was using his name and position to gain financial advantages.
