Longoria returns, helps Rays beat Blue Jays

Associated Press Sports

updated 10:10 p.m. ET Aug. 7, 2012

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - The Tampa Bay Rays got another stellar start from James Shields, and an offensive spark from Evan Longoria.

Shields threw eight strong innings, Longoria drove in a run in his return from an injury, and the Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-1 on Tuesday night.

"I stayed aggressive," Shields said. "I think I've turned the corner. Hopefully I get on a little roll here."

Shields (10-7) allowed one run and two hits. The right-hander was coming off a three-hit shutout last Tuesday at Oakland.

Longoria rejoined the Rays after missing 85 games because of a partially torn left hamstring. He went 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly as the designated hitter.

"It's weird going into a game just trying to make it out healthy," Longoria said. "Sometimes it's little things that are important, and today was huge stepping stone. There was nothing about today that was negative. No setbacks, I felt great."

Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 33rd save and completed the three-hitter. The closer set a team record for relievers - breaking the mark set by Joe Borowski (21) in 2005 - by extending his shutout streak to 22 consecutive innings.

Longoria got a standing ovation before his first at-bat in the second, when left-hander J.A. Happ (0-1) reached behind his legs to glove a grounder and then threw out the three-time All-Star.

Longoria made it 2-0 on a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the third, an opposite-field drive caught at the wall by right fielder Moises Sierra. Jeff Keppinger extended the lead to 3-0 on another sacrifice fly later in the inning.

After striking out in the fifth, Longoria ended his night with a line-drive single to center in the eighth.

"I'm just as happy as anyone else that Longo is back," Shields said. "Just to see him back in the clubhouse and see him out on the field. He's the leader in this clubhouse, that's what it comes down to."

Shields struck out six, walked one and hit a batter.

"Shields really held us down," Blue Jays manager John Farrell said.

The Rays stopped a 22-inning scoreless stretch and took a 1-0 lead in the second as Ryan Roberts - mired in a 3-for-32 slide - hit a two-out pop fly double down the right-field line and scored on Sean Rodriguez's single.

Colby Rasmus hit his 20th homer, a solo shot in the fourth, that got Toronto within 3-1. Rasmus, who had missed the previous two games because of tightness in his right groin, singled in the ninth.

Tampa Bay went ahead 4-1 in the fifth on Ben Zobrist's RBI double. Zobrist had left Sunday's game with upper back spasms.

Happ, making his first start with the Blue Jays, gave up four runs and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings. He had made four relief appearances since being acquired from Houston on July 20.

"The result is the only thing that matters, but I did feel better than, probably, the numbers indicate," Happ said. "I felt like I was making some good pitches. They used the whole field and they were falling for them, and weren't falling for us. A frustrating one for sure."

Happ's previous start, while with the Astros, came on July 16. He threw 6 1-3 innings in a 2-0 win over San Diego.

Notes: Farrell said OF Jose Bautista, out since July 17 with left wrist inflammation, still has some soreness on a small area of the hand and will undergo an MRI. ... Blue Jays INF Brett Lawrie missed his third straight game due to rib cage tightness. ... Tampa Bay DH Luke Scott (oblique) ran the bases and took batting practice. ... Toronto RHPs Drew Hutchison and Dustin McGowan are both scheduled to have surgery Thursday. Hutchison will have elbow ligament surgery, while McGowan is scheduled for arthroscopic surgery to evaluate the right shoulder joint.

wiaw #23- the universe is laughing | the veggie nook

Here we are again my friends, another week since the last What I Ate Wednesday come and gone and I have no idea what happened to it. The summer is just flying by, I don?t even remember July! The other day when I was dating things at work (we date the syrup bottles for one month ahead so we toss them if they aren?t used by that date) and I found my self writing September. September. Don?t get me wrong, it?s my favourite month- the beginning of fall, crisp cool breezes, cardigans, school and of course my birthday, but it threw me for a loop. It always seemed so far away and now it?s less than a month away!

Anyway, enough about the inevitable passage of time, I am actually here today to share with you my eats! Now, this What I Ate Wednesday post isn?t going to catalogue a single day of food. I fully meant to take pictures of all my eats yesterday, I did. But life got in the way- I overslept my alarm and proceeded to race to work very late (without breakfast I might add, I never do that) and was so thrown off I didn?t remember to take any pictures of my food until dinner. The universe has been laughing at me lately and I haven?t been quite as ?together? as I usually am. Ah well, I am taking it with a sense of humour and hopefully I sail on through it soon.

So instead, I?ll just be sharing pictures of things I?ve eaten recently!

Thank you, as always, to Jenn @ Peas and Crayons for hosting!

lemon water. the usual.

lots of chia seed breakfast porridge, sans-fruit and with stevia instead of dates though. more on this to come.

insert lots of (unpictured) veggies and avocado and dill dip.

ginormous salads- this one includes avocado, grated carrots, tomatoes, Swiss chard and a hemp oil dressing

a lot of Gena?s Chocolate Almond Protein Fluff. such a great way to use up almond pulp. not something you?d serve to your friends or people you want to impress, but a tasty, economical and thrifty snack ;)

and of course, lots of tea! I?m currently in a ?oh-my-god-I-move-in-less-than-a-month-I-need-to-eat-through-all-my-pantry-food-and-drink-all-my-tea? mode. I?ve been drinking lots of it. I believe this photo is of some jasmine pearls, or ?Dragon Pearls? by David?s Tea. heavenly!

pricey, but such a treat!

sweet potatoes! topped with a new nut butter creation- vanilla brazil nut and hazelnut butter, coconut oil and sea salt. delish! served of course, with some salad.

yes that sweet potato is the size of that plate, and yes I ate the whole thing. what can I say? I love me them sweet ?taters!

on a separate note- I?m trying to think of a good name for this nut butter, it?s quite a mouthful! the best I?ve come up with is vanilla brazenut butter. thoughts? I think it sounds good but I don?t trust my judgement on this one!

chocolate chia shake! delicious and sweet with no fruit and just a little stevia. love :)

To close out this post, I thought I?d (finally) give my review of Jillian Michael?s 30-Day Shred!

I decided to take on this fitness challenge a couple months ago as a way to get me back into the swing of things working out. While it?s meant to be done for 30 days straight, I didn?t do this, rather I ended up doing it about every other day for 2 months. It has 3 levels and it is suggested you do each level 10 times before moving up. Here are my thoughts:

• positive:

  • there are 3 different levels, each with it?s own workout and they get progressively more difficult. This means that by the time you get bored of one workout, it?s time to move on with the next. I like that she introduces movements and exercises in Level 1 then adds to them and makes them more difficult in Levels 2 and 3. This gives you time to work on form before hurting yourself doing an exercise you?re not ready for!

  • she works your whole body, all at once. No simply doing bicep curls here. You?re doing bicep curls with lunges, military presses with leg extensions, planks with shoulder rows. That way you make efficient use of your time and get a great workout in 20 min (score!)

  • each workout is only 20 minutes long so it?s easy to fit it into your day

  • the workouts are hard. I thought the first one was a little easier, but still made me sweat. Levels 2 and 3 left me pouring sweat and panting. But in a great way!

  • Her 3-2-1 system keeps the workouts interesting! 3 minutes of strength (30s of a ?serious strength move? followed by 1 min of a compound exercise and repeat), 2 minutes of cardio (2 exercises, 30s each, alternating) and 1 minute abs (1 or 2 different exercises, depending). You don?t have time to get bored or realize your muscles are tired! All the switching between exercises makes the workout fly!

  • she doesn?t count reps- I hate when reps are counted. It makes me feel like finishing the exercise is ages away and that I couldn?t possibly complete ?blank? more reps. By not knowing exactly when I?m done the exercise, I just keep pushing, going on auto pilot until she tells me to stop

  • I saw a major increase in muscle definition after completing this, particularly in my abs. By Level 3 you are basically somehow working your core with every exercise. I love the way my stomach looks now!

• negatives:

  • warm-ups and cool-downs are short and not really adequate. Not a big deal, just tag some of your own stuff on and you?ll be fine. I particularly recommend adding a glute and calf stretch to the cool-down.

  • she doesn?t discuss all points on form in the first round of each exercise. Sometimes she doesn?t mention key things until the second round. Not a big deal for experienced exercisers, but for beginners, this could cause some problems and perhaps even injuries!

  • Level 2- there is a lot of exercises performed in a plank position one after the other- I have weak shoulders and this at times got painful! Might not be a problem for others though.

  • this might just be my DVD player (or rather my PS3) but I couldn?t skip the DVD intro when I would start the DVD each time. This meant I had to listen to Jillian explain the workouts EVERY SINGLE TIME I wanted to do a workout (so 30 times). This kind of sucked. Not a huge deal, or a reflection on the quality of the exercises, but just annoying!

Overall, I definitely recommend this video! It?s a great way to get in a great workout at home if you?re short on time. Plus, nice abs never hurt right?

I hope some of you find this review helpful! Let me know if you have any questions.

I will be back soon with another recipe for you. Hopefully in that time the universe stops using me as it?s entertainment and things start running a little more smoothly in my life! If nothing else, I?ll take waking up in time for work! Enjoy the rest of your weeks and Happy WIAW!

Visit the workplace with your traveling papers at your fingertips and fill in a misplaced suitcases state. It is quite rare that totes are shed for a long time just a little determination at this stage will go a long way.

When changing currency exchange, wait around till you have came to your location. When you won?t have fast use of a forex service whenever you property, look at exchanging a little bit funds before you leave, then trading the remainder later on.

China stay on course for table tennis gold sweep

China stayed on course for another Olympic Games table tennis gold medal sweep when their women retained the team title with a 3-0 thumping win over Japan on Tuesday.

China's men will attempt to capture the fourth and last gold of the tournament, for which they are odds on favourites, when they face South Korea in Wednesday's title match.

There was rarely much doubt that Li Xaioxia, the Olympic women's singles champion, and Ding Ning, the world champion, would control Tuesday's final, and so it proved.

Li generated China's winning momentum with a 11-6, 9-11, 11-2, 11-5 success against Ai Fukuhara, the Mandarin-speaking world number seven who once famously played against China's President Hu Jintao.

But Fukuhara's capture of the second game, by gambling with unreturnable but risky flat hits and smashes on almost all the rallies, was one of only two which Japan gleaned in the entire match.

Ding came back from 3-6 and 5-7 down in the second game with some clever changes of direction in her more varied clash against Kasumi Ishikawa, the world number six, winning by 11-4, 12-10, 11-4.

And then Guo Yue, the only survivor of the last Olympic winning team, who once disappeared from the scene for six months, made an appearance in the doubles.

She and Ding dropped the third game to Ishikawa and Syaka Hirano but it hardly mattered at all.

"We had only two players in the singles (because of a change of ITTF rules) in a tough field, but we did come together in the final," said Guo.

"In the team event, although there is also pressure, we are a solid team and we are able to take strength from each other."

But these were nuances amidst the overwhelming and predictable impressions of the skill, speed, subtlety and fitness of the world largest and best table tennis nation.

There were moments when Fukuhara's uncompromising flat-hitting took six points in a row and the second game against Li, and a few more moments when Ishikawa and Hirano inserted their left-right combinations into the doubles rallies well enough to purloin the second game.

There were even moments when an over-noisy Mexican wave and Ding's lengthy inspection of a ball which she thought might be cracked both delayed the Chinese too.

But the outcome was irrevocable.

Singapore won the bronze medal, beating South Korea 3-0, with world number eight Feng Tianwei getting the peninsula city-state off to a momentum-boosting win over Kim Kyung-Ah, the world number five, by 11-9, 11-8, 4-11, 13-11.

"I think this is the last time this team will be playing together so we cherished the opportunity," said Feng, referring to her team mates Li Jiawei and Wang Yuegu. "But I never thought about winning a medal before."

Car IT changing the automotive retail model - automotiveIT ...

Connected cars will provide information to new automotive competitors as well

The increasing sophistication of automotive IT systems is changing traditional patterns in car retailing, according to a German study.

Driver assistance and communication systems that are set to become standard in all cars already are transmitting a broad range of information about driving patterns, driving habits and other vehicle usage statistics.

These transmissions don?t go to dealers, but are sent mostly to automakers and this leads to a relationship between car companies and drivers that will be closer in future than it has been until now.

That is one of the conclusions of the study ?Effects of car IT on automobile sales and service,? which was conducted by Germany?s IFA Institute for the Automotive Industry in cooperation with consultants MHP.

?Through the information and communications systems? in the car, auto manufacturers will in future know more about their customers than in the past,? the study said. ?That will also give them a chance to address customers earlier and with a more targeted message about the purchase of a new car or a service appointment.?

But closer ties between automakers and car buyers are just one of the changes resulting from the automotive IT revolution.

IFA head Willi Diez, who was in charge of the study, said the increased availability of digital information about a car and its driver also opens up opportunities for other automotive service providers. ?Whoever gets in touch with the customer first about a possible requirement has the best chances to get the order,? Diez said.

The study notes that automakers are forging closer ties with IT companies to make sure they maintain the relationship with their customers. A failure to do so would mean lost revenue opportunities as well as increased competition from new companies seeking automotive business, the study said.

Said MHP CEO Ralf Hofmann: ?I?m convinced that differentiation through car IT will in coming years be one of the biggest drivers of growth in the auto industry.? MHP is a subsidiary of Porsche.

How the Curiosity Rover Will Make a 'Stealthy' Search for Mars Life

There's something quite curious about Curiosity, according to one Mars researcher.

A scientist who worked on NASA's 1976 Viking landers to the Red Planet claims that the Mars Science Laboratory's Curiosity rover carries gear he labels as "stealth life detectors."

Curiosity is due to land on Mars tonight (Aug. 5) at 10:31 p.m. PDT (1:31 a.m. EDT and 0531 GMT on Aug. 6). The $2.5 billion rover is slated for a two-year mission to search for signs that the planet is or was habitable to life. Mission managers have stopped short of claiming the probe is looking for life itself, however.

Gilbert Levin was a life-detection experimenter on NASA's Viking mission to Mars and is now an adjunct professor at Arizona State University in Tempe. With Levin as experimenter and Patricia Ann Straat as co-experimenter, the Viking Labeled Release (LR) investigation returned data from Mars indicating the presence of microbial life, the team asserts. [The Life on Mars Search: Photo Timeline]

Levin contends that the organic analyzers and the high-resolution camera on Curiosity may bring about a re-evaluation of the Viking LR findings, "which, I believe, would support my claim," he said.

Declaration of finding life

Some 36 years ago on Mars, Viking's LR experiment injected a tiny drop of radioactive nutrients on a thimble-full of Martian soil and then looked for the rising of radioactive gas as evidence of metabolism.

To ensure that the gas had not come from a chemical reaction, a second sample of the soil was heated at a temperature to kill microorganisms, but not high enough to destroy possible chemical reactants. This "control" sample was then tested in the LR.

Levin said that on Mars, the untreated soils gave positive results, and the heat-treated control samples were negative, indicating that the positive reactions were biological. A total of nine experiments at both Viking landing sites, some 4,000 miles apart, supported the positive responses as being biological. However, because another Viking instrument failed to find organic matter, the stuff of life, NASA concluded the LR results were ambiguous at best.

Over the years, Levin's declaration of finding life has been gauged as controversial.

Virtual experiment

Fast forward to the upcoming attempt to plop the Curiosity rover safely down on Mars.

"I am very closely watching Curiosity, inasmuch as I have claimed it as my own," Levin told SPACE.com, "since NASA abandoned it by so vigorously stating it is not looking for life."

Levin intends to purloin MSL's results for his own purposes. "I feel certain that my appropriated MSL will confirm that the Viking LR experiment did, indeed, detect life on the surface of Mars in 1976."

If no organics or visible confirmation of life are found by the sensitive MSL instruments, "that will be a miracle harder to explain than if life on Mars is confirmed," Levin said.

Curiosity's Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) Suite Investigation is designed to address the present and past habitability of Mars by exploring molecular and elemental chemistry relevant to life. SAM addresses, among other duties, carbon chemistry through a search for organic compounds.

NASA's unexplained intention

Levin's said that another "virtual experiment" of his aboard Curiosity is its microscopic imager. That instrument has sufficient resolution to see individual grains of silt.?

Curiosity's Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI)consists of a camera mounted to a robotic arm on the rover, used to acquire microscopic images of rock and soil.

Levin thinks this camera can determine whether "lichen-like" colored patches might exist on Martian rocks. That claim stems from his review of all 10,000 Viking lander images, in which he found on some rocks possible evidence of living organisms.

Curiosity may inadvertently produce acceptance of the Viking LR investigators' claim to have detected life, Levin said, "thereby negating NASA's unexplained intention to indefinitely defer knowledge about life on Earth's nearest neighbor."

Levin thinks that Curiosity's results, coupled with the Viking LR findings, can bring about a realization that we are not alone in the universe.?

To that effect, Levin said, should Curiosity detect organic matter, the last obstacle to general acceptance of his claim to have discovered life on Mars will vanish.

Finding a sweeter spot

Taking issue with Levin is John Rummel, chairman of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) Panel on Planetary Protection. He's a former NASA planetary protection officer, as well as former exobiology program manager and senior scientist for astrobiology at NASA Headquarters.

"Until we find a sweeter spot on Mars than we can currently land on, active life detection instruments are not very useful. We will get there, I am sure," Rummel told SPACE.com

Rummel said that, at best, Curiosity can replicate certain LR parameters, and may be able to understand them by multiple experiments. "But the presence of organics will still bedeterminative with respect to the acceptance life," he added.

SAM may be able to detect extremely low levels of organics, Rummel noted, and if so then the potential for life and/or habitability will be established ? but not the actual LR experimental results, which are not subject to replication, overall, he said.

Interpretation of LR results

"It is simply incorrect that NASA has had an explicit 'ban' on life detection experiments," Rummel said. "That has never been the case, and likely never will be."

Levin will be watching to see if his original LR results are "confirmed." However, Rummel said the Viking results aren't in need of substantiation, per se.

"They only need to be placed into the broader context of the real surface of Mars, which will be unlikely to allow the interpretation of the LR results as an unequivocal detection of life in 1976," Rummel said. "We don't need a 'do-over'?rather a 'do-more' to tell us about Mars life."

Home advantage: Britain celebrates 'sensational' Olympic medal haul

BBC via Twitter @suttonnick

Britain's newspapers celebrate Saturday's host nation gold medal haul

By Alastair Jamieson, NBC News, and Reuters

LONDON - Olympic host nation Britain was in euphoric mood Sunday, celebrating an?"extraordinary" haul of six gold medals on Saturday, sending the UK media went wild with Games fever.

Two golds in rowing and one at the cycling velodrome were followed by a hat-trick of victories in athletics from Jessica Ennis (heptathlon), Greg Rutherford (long jump) and Mo Farah.

---

Britain, which enjoyed its most successful Olympic day since 1908, took their collection of golds to 14 at the London Games to lie third in the overall medals table behind the United States (26) and China (25).

?Phelps, Rupp, Pistorius:?Emotional moments

"Their extraordinary efforts have brought rapture to streets, parks and living rooms in London and all over the country if not the planet," London mayor Boris Johnson said in a statement.

London's funny zip-lining mayor taken seriously

"It has been a remarkable first week and my hearty congratulations go to every single athlete that has taken part," Johnson added.

"They have entertained billions of people around the world and I for one cannot wait to see what they serve up for week two."?

London mayor Boris Johnson attempts to make a dramatic entrance at an Olympic party?but gets stranded on a zip wire instead. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.

London Games chief Sebastian Coe, a double Olympic 1,500 champion, said: "I think we've witnessed something sensational. I've never known a night in UK athletics like that, it was unbelievable."

It was also a cathartic moment for London, coming almost exactly a year since rioting brought the city's safe hosting of the games into doubt.

"Today, London rose from the ashes," wrote blogger Ronnie Joice on Twitter.

The mood was reflected in Sunday morning's press coverage. "Britain awakes to an unfamiliar sensation: winning," wrote Jill Lawless of the Associated Press, noting that?"a country accustomed to sporting disappointment could scarcely contain its disbelief."?

British newspapers continued the theme, the front page of the Sunday Times describing it as "Our Finest Olympic Hour" alongside a spectacular picture of Rutherford flying through the air in mid-jump.

The Sunday Telegraph had one word for it - "Sensational". The headline ran above photos of all six British gold-medal victors from the second Saturday of the Games.

"That Was Pure Gold" was the Independent's?reaction with a sub-heading that read: "One by one we counted them in on another astonishing day of British Olympic success."
