'Gossip Girl' Spoilers: Is Chuck The Father Of Blair's Baby? New Hint!
Executive producer Josh Safran gives HollywoodLife.com a hint about you-know-who's reaction to her pregnancy and also reveals how she deals with her secret!
A game of who's the daddy has commenced with Gossip Girl fans after we found out today about a certain someone's pregnancy. We spoke to Josh Safran at a Q&A session recently and asked him about for clues on the baby daddy.
What does this new maybe-Bass baby mean for Chuck and Blair?
Josh wouldn't reveal whether Chuck or Louis are the father of Blair's baby, promising everyone it would be revealed in the first half of the season, but he did give us a little hint. "Blair's pregnancy will definitely impact Chuck in a big way," teased Josh.
Now, this doesn't necessarily mean he's the dad because if Blair's pregnant with Prince Louis' baby it will still, obviously, affect Chuck because Blair is the love of his life. BUT it would impact him even more if he was the father, right?
And what about Miss Waldorf? Will she be letting Serena, or fellow pregnant Dorota, or anyone about her baby bump? Josh tells us, "Blair will try to hold on as best as she can alone and find that it's not possible."
Aww, we wonder how long until another UESider gets wind of what's going on!?
Which character would you like Blair to share the news with? And do you think Chuck's that father? Sound off in your comments below!

Athene Donald's Nov. 2, 2012 posting on Occam's Corner (hosted by the Guardian) points out that scientists aren't the only ones who need to engage, policy makers should try it too (Note: I have removed links),
Recently the UK's Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) has been consulting on its Science and Society programme, and I for one have fed my thoughts back to their team. On their web pages they also detail the progress they have made against previous objectives, set up a couple of years ago. Progress on some fronts is good, particularly in the way interactions with the media are progressing. Nevertheless, there are hints in the text implying unhealthy mental separation of different groupings. For example, language relating to how "we", that is the scientists, are expected to engage with "you", the public, might perhaps benefit from closer scrutiny. There are also some notable omissions of people who don't seem to be expected to participate in engagement very much at all, notably "them" – those who set the agenda at the centre of power, comprising MP's, civil servants and policy-makers in general. [emphases mine]
She's suggesting engagement between scientists and policy makers, not engagement between the public, scientists, and policy makers. Personally, I'd like to see the latter take place, as well as, the former. Donald also goes on to reiterate her support for another suggestion, (Note: I have removed links),
Nor does success, according to BIS, contain any mention of the suggestion, made by Adam Afriyie (then shadow Science Minister) before the last election, that MPs should get remedial science lessons. To quote my own MP and erstwhile colleague in Physics at the University of Cambridge, Dr Julian Huppert shortly after election as an MP in 2010, who said à propos of this:
"It would be really important for all MPs to have some exposure, because some of them will not have studied any science since they were 15 and it's important to understand how to engage with it. You would then have a lot of MPs who were able to understand the information they were being presented with."
Donald's comments remind me of Preston Manning's suggestions about Canadian scientists needing to engage more with politicians. Luckily, Mr. Manning very kindly gave me an interview about those suggestions and more, 'Preston Manning Interview (part 1 of 2) and PEN's nanotechnology product inventory' and 'Preston Manning Interview (part 2 of 2); Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies Events; ASTC Conference' in September 2009. That year, the first Canadian Science Policy Conference was held. Next week (Nov. 5-7, 2012) will see the fourth conference in Calgary, Alberta where Mr. Manning is scheduled to speak on this panel, 'What is the appropriate division of labour between business, government, and the academy in advancing science-based innovation in Canada?'

Birth and Infant Mortality Trend Data
These files present statistics on live births and Infant Deaths in Minneapolis from 1994 to 2011. Data elements included are:
- Number of Births
- Low Birth Weight
- Preterm Births
- Prenatal Care in the First Trimester
- Adequacy of Prenatal Care (GINDEX)
- Maternal Education
- Births to Unmarried Mothers
- Caesarean Deliveries
- Repeat Births
- Multiple Birth
- Infant Mortality
The above links are PDF documents. View data in Excel Spreadsheets .
Each data element for the Birth data presented above is broken down by race/ethnicity, age and community within Minneapolis. Infant Mortality data is broken down by race/ethnicity and Community within Minneapolis.
The statistical validity of data may be questionable when the number of births and infant deaths are small. In order to minimize this problem when data was analyzed by community, a three year interval is used. While analyzing data for Infant Mortality rates by race/ethnicity, a three year interval is used as the number of infant deaths are small for certain race/ethnic groups.
Data Sources
The data used in these reports comes from the Minnesota Department of Health.
The GINDEX is a prenatal care index developed by Dr. Greg Alexander of the University of Minnesota. Adequacy of prenatal care is determined by combining measures of the month or trimester prenatal care began, the number of prenatal visits and the gestational age of the fetus at the time of birth. The GINDEX includes gestational age of over 36 weeks and the number of prenatal visits exceeding nine to impute adequacy of prenatal care. An adequate or better categorization means prenatal care started in the first trimester and the woman had an adequate number of prenatal visits; intermediate means prenatal care started in the first or second trimester and the woman had an intermediate range of visits; and inadequate or none means either that prenatal care was nonexistent or started in the third trimester or that the woman had an inadequate number of visits, regardless of when prenatal care began.
Low Birth Weight
An infant weighing less than 2,500 grams (5.5 pounds) is classified as low birth weight.
The period of development of the fetus, expressed in completed weeks, calculated from the first day of the last known menstrual period.
Preterm Birth
An infant born before 37 weeks of gestation is considered preterm.
One third of the total gestational period necessary for a full-term pregnancy. Thirteen weeks are allotted each trimester. The count of weeks begins with the first day of the last known menstrual period.
Infant Death
A death of a live-born infant under one year of age.
Infant Mortality Rate
The number of children dying under a year of age divided by the number of live births that year. The infant mortality rate is also called the infant death rate and is calculated per 1,000 live births.

Martyr and Archdeacon Euplus of Catania
The Martyr Archdeacon Euplus suffered in the year 304 under the emperors Diocletian (284-305) and Maximian (305-311). He served in the Sicilian city of Catania. Always carrying the Gospel with him, Saint Euplus preached constantly to the pagans about Christ.
Once, while he read and explained the Gospel to the gathered crowd, they arrested him and took him to the governor of the city, Calvisianus. Saint Euplus confessed himself a Christian and denounced the impiety of idol-worship. For this they sentenced him to torture.
They threw the injured saint into prison, where he remained in prayer for seven days. The Lord made a spring of water flow into the prison for the martyr to quench his thirst. Brought to trial a second time, strengthened and rejoicing, he again confessed his faith in Christ and denounced the torturer for spilling the blood of innocent Christians.
The judge commanded that the saint's ears be torn off, and that he be beheaded. When they led the saint to execution, they hung the Gospel around his neck. Having asked time for prayer, the archdeacon began to read and explain the Gospel to the people, and many of the pagans believed in Christ. The soldiers beheaded the saint with a sword.
His holy relics are in the village of Vico della Batonia, near Naples.

Actor George Takei has an excellent response to the idiotic bill in Tennessee prohibiting people from saying the word Gay.
Support George! Fight back at http://bit.ly/dontsaygay
George Takei takes on the Tennessee Legislature and its "Don't Say Gay" bill, in the way only George Takei can!
A bill now pending in Tennessee would prohibit teachers in that state from discussing homosexuality in the classroom. The so-called "don't say gay" law is premised on the misguided belief that, by not talking about gay people, they can simply make us disappear.
George is here to tell Tennessee, and all the LGBT youth and teachers who would be affected by this law, that he is here for you. In fact, he is lending his name to the cause. Any time you need to say the word "gay," you can simply say "Takei."
You can buy T-shirts and other items that say "It's OK to be Takei", to wear and display with pride and to show Tennessee and the world that you're against censorship and bigotry….
All the proceeds from the sales of these items will be donated to charity. Have a TAKEI old time!

Ubuntu on Thinkpad X41 – Working With Amarok
Posted by Shane O'Sullivan on May 11, 2007
This is one of a number of posts detailing how to install Ubuntu 6.10 (codename Edgy) on a Thinkpad X41. This post focuses on using the amazing music player Amarok. Rather than me going into the many reasons why no other music player even comes close, have a look at it's website, or read here.
Installing couldn't be easier. Although Amarok is techically a KDE application, and I've installed Gnome on my Thinkpad, it will run perfectly fine.
- Click Applications->Add/Remove
- Choose Amarok from the list on the right and click OK
Working with Sony Ericsson w810i Walkman:
I own a Sony Ericsson w810i Walkman phone which I'd like to use with Amarok. However, it doesn't directly support this device, so some slight configuration has to take place.
- Open Amarok by clicking Applications->Sound & Video->Amarok. If the application doesn't show up then it has minimised itself, and you should see a grey/blue circular icon in your taskbar. Click this and the window will show up.
- Connect your phone to the computer via the bundled USB cable. It should auto-mount to the two folders /media/disk (the one we're interested in), and /media/PHONE.
- In Amarok, click Settings->Configure Amarok
- Click Media Devices at the bottom left of the configuration window.
- Click the Add Device button.
- From the drop down list, choose Generic Audio Player.
- In the middle text box enter the name for your device, e.g. "My Walkman".
- In the bottom text box, enter the mount point for your device, /media/disk
- Click OK. The new device should now be listed. Now it must be configured.
- Click the configuration button to the left of the Remove button for your new device.
- Into the Song Location textbox in the bottom section put the following:
/music/%artist/%album/%track %title.%filetype
- Click OK, then OK again to return to the main application.
- Now (and from now on) simply click the Devices button on the bottom left of the window, then the Connect button at the top left. You can then drag and drop songs into the device and transfer them by clicking the Transfer button.
- Enjoy the free, open source media player that puts Apple and Microsoft to shame!
Sharing Music with iTunes over a network
If you have two computers, one running iTunes and the other, more enlightened one, running Amarok, it's possible to share music between them, which should save you the trouble of duplication space-hogging mp3 files.
- In iTunes, click Edit->Preferences
- Click on the Sharing tab.
- Check the two checkboxes.
- In Amarok, click Settings->Configure Amarok
- Click Media Devices.
- Click Add Device.
- From the drodown box, choose Music Sharing and give the device a name, e.g. "Shared Music". Click OK,then OK again to return to the main application.
- Click Devices at the bottom left of the window. At the top left of the window you should see a dropdown bo – choose "Shared Music" (or whatever you called it) and you should see all shared libraries on your network.

Simple yet brilliant post.
Worked first time. Though one slight difference, my SD card comes up as 'PHONE CARD' when I plug in. So I just typed /media/PHONE CARD in Amarok instead and all worked fine.
Thanks again.
June 30, 2008 at 7:01 pm
hi, thanks for the useful info. i got my SE k850i working . i have a few issues with amarok though. I'm using ubuntu 8.04 with gnome 2.22.2. i've installed one script called usb_device.amarokscript.sh. when i run this script i get the following error "USB Device amarokscript requirement 'kfmclient' not found".
also , podcasts doesnt seem to download , whereas i'm able to play the same podcast in rhythmbox.
i would be glad if you can help me out with these small issues.
thanks again

Little Butte is about 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Emmett, Idaho, USA. This image was taken from the northeast rim of the butte. Little Butte stands about 3,450 ft (1052 m) above sea-level and about 1000 ft (305 m) above the Payette River bottom in the valley below.
Little Butte is relatively long and skinny, only a few feet wide in some places and about 700 ft (213 m) at the widest location. It's about 2,600 ft (792 m) long - running north-south.
The town of Emmett, ID can be seen looking over the tail end of the butte. To the east one can see Black Canyon Reservoir and it's dam. The reservoir is ice-covered in this image. Image taken February 2, 2012.
Idaho is a state located in the northwestern region of the United States of America. Idaho is the 14th largest state by area, ranks 39th by population and 53rd by population density of the 50 United States. Idaho was the 43rd state to be admitted into the Union, on July 3, 1890. Idaho is landlocked, being bordered by Canada on the north and the states of Washington and Oregon on the west, Nevada and Utah on the south and Montana and Wyoming on the east. Idaho is nicknamed "The Gem State" because nearly every known gemstone is found within the state. Idaho is also famous for producing about one third of all potatoes grown in the USA. Idaho also hosts the largest barrel cheese factory in the world, producing 120K metric tons of cheese per year. There is some ambiguity as to where the name "Idaho" came from, but it is generally believed to have simply been made up by George M. Willing. There is a possibility it was derived from a Native American phrase. Idaho is very mountainous and is a popular outing destination of the outdoorsman. The state population was about 1.58M in July 2011 with 84% being Caucasian, 11.2% Hispanic and 1.1% Native American. The state capital and largest city is Boise.Source: wikipedia

text: One of Microsoft's Best-Kept Secrets - Python Tools for Visual Studio (PTVS) July 2, '13 Comments [78] Posted in Open Source | Python Sponsored By I've talked some about the sweet support for node and PHP in Azure. You can also File | New | Node.js express application in WebMatrix, or run WordPress and get intellisense as well. "I installed windows just so i can use PTVS" - Comment on Hacker News But I'm consistently shocked that folks forget about Python at Microsoft. I am a C# person, myself, but the Developer Division at Microsoft loves their languages. C++, VB, C#, F#, etc and they aren't messing about when they get serious about a language. One of the least-known and most-kick-butt free products we have is PTVS - Python Tools for Visual Studio. Whether you're just interested in learning Python or you're a hardcore PhD who wants mixed-language Python and C++ debugging or somewhere in between, you gotta check this out. (Seriously, the mixed-mode debugging thing can't be overstressed...) The Misconceptions Microsoft? Python? Oh, it must be all about IronPython, that's dead, right? IronPython is a community-run project and just put an 2.7.4 alpha out last month. PTVS fully supports IronPython, but the most advanced support is for standard CPython! PTVS needs VisualStudio? I don't have any money. PTVS, combined with the Integrated/isolated VS Shell is completely and perpetually free. And with the advent of VS2013, they've combined them into a single installer: https://pytools.codeplex.com/releases (at bottom of page). This is Real Here's my VS2013 after installing PyTools (PTVS). I've got IronPython which is Python running under the .NET CLR, but I've also got Django apps as well as a regular CPython or making a new project from existing code. You can see that PTVS knows what Python engines I have installed, and I can easily switch between them. Here you can see that VS is refreshing the auto-completion (intellisense) databases for each version. There's also a complete REPL inside Visual Studio for each: Developing Django Apps in Visual Studio Maybe you're a Django (one of Python's Web Frameworks) web developer, you can use VS to develop your app. Go File New | Django App, then make a new Python Virtual Environment from the Solution Explorer, and watch Visual Studio freaking installed pip for you (the Python package manager). It's very seamless. Which gives me this: Then I right click on "dev" and just like NuGet (except this is Python, so pip) I install django: Django is massive, so this took a while, but still! And.....I've accomplished Hello World in Django. Well, Hello Django, at least, launched from Visual Studio. You should feel free to go and run through the whole Django Tutorial if you like and even deploy your app to Azure! You can host Django on a regular Azure Web Site, or a Virtual Machine if you want more control. You can even interactively debug Python running in Azure on Linux from your Visual Studio instance! Check out Steve do just that at PyCon in this YouTube video. There's a bunch of great educational and quick start Tutorials on the Python Tools YouTube Channel, they are a great resource to bookmark. You can attach to remote Python processes over SSL and debug if you like. It's Really Integrated Let's get real here for a second. Lots of projects plug stuff into Visual Studio. You may have made it this far into the post and be saying "oh, wah wah, this thing sets up some batch files and some syntax highlighting and calls itself a full-featured Python IDE." Um, no. This is the best of VS and the best of Python and I'm blown away. Check this out. PTVS knows that I'm doing unit testing here and they've integrated Python Unit Testing with the VS Unit Testing UI. This is debugging, remote debugging, cross language debugging, tool tips, watches, locals, call stacks, unit testing, full REPL with inline graphics, profiling, cloud publish, best of class CPython support, and so much more. If you're into Python or knows someone who is, for reals, drink it in and get on board at https://pytools.codeplex.com. Check out their samples. They've got Python talking to Kinect, Python talking to Excel and more. Their PTVS Documentation is really good as well. Just getting started? Well, go Learn Python The Hard Way. Installing PTVS Here's the complete install instrucitons. You need VS, the PTVS, and some Python. If you have no Visual Studio installed, go get the FREE PTVS that includes the Visual Studio Shell. That's "PyToolsIntegrated" at the middle of this page. Then get a copy of Python. If you already have VS 2010, VS 2012, or VS 2013, go get PTVS for your version. The VS2013 version is the best and has a lot of fixed bugs. I installed PTVS along with Python 3.3 for Windows. Finally, explore the Resources and Docs for Python Tools for Visual Studio, including, but not limited to Editing, Refactoring, Unit Tests, Django, IPython notebook and Azure cloud computing, Kinect for Python and Pyvot - an Excel to Python bridge.

New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) is one of the world's premier destinations for artistic and historical exhibitions. But this epicenter of worldly culture is not above admitting the occasional mistake. Even when the correction comes from one curious 13-year-old boy.
The Hartford Courant reports that 13-year-old Benjamin Lerman Coady found an error in the Met's Byzantine Gallery during a recent visit. The seventh-grader is a fledgling history buff who recently studied the Byzantine Empire in school.
While checking some of the dates on the map, Coady noticed that sections featuring Spain and Africa were missing.
Before leaving the museum, Coady attempted to inform the museum that the map was inaccurate. "The front desk didn't believe me," he told the paper. "I'm only a kid."
However, Coady received an email from the museum's senior vice president for external affairs, notifying him that his request was being forwarded to the museum's medieval affairs department for further review.
A few months later, Helen Evans, the Met's curator for Byzantine art, sent Coady an email: "You are, of course, correct about the boundaries of the Byzantine Empire under Justinian," she wrote.
Evans even invited Coady back to the museum to meet with her in person. She says the Met is working on updating the map but isn't sure when a new, more accurate rendition can be put on display.
So, what lesson did Coady take from his experience? "If you have a question, always ask it," he told the paper. "Always take chances."

Alternative food supporters claim that food produced outside the corporate system can improve the wellbeing of communities. A closer look at these claims raises the question: How are members of the alternative food movement defining "community" and who is being included in and excluded from these definitions? We draw from in‐depth interviews with (1) urban famers and their supporters and (2) neighborhood members of gentrifying East Austin to examine irreconcilable disputes on the process of rewriting Austin's urban farm code.
The hashtag syllabus is a crowd-sourced body of work that can, in some cases, challenge the knowledge construction of the academy. Hashtag syllabi have the opportunity to reshape how knowledge is produced, whose knowledge is affirmed, and what knowledge people are exposed to.
Between 2008 and 2011, the dysfunctional North London line was improved and rebranded into a high‐quality, high‐frequency service: the London Overground. Great ambitions for regeneration came with this project: The improved line, running through deprived areas of East London, was expected to bring inward investment and to open access to new opportunities outside the borough to its residents.
Positioning itself against arguments that claim that the Model Cities program (initially known as the 1966 Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act) was either an unmitigated failure, an attempt to co‐opt activists, or an effort to introduce the "carceral state" nationwide, this paper examines the implementation of Model Cities in a historically integrated suburb and argues that while the program was assuredly only a "limited success," it did provide both funding and social space in which residents could forge intergenerational and cross‐racial alliances, as well as launch chal
Based on the case study of a Fringe theatre festival in a peripheral city in Israel, this article identifies and analyzes a moment of change in power relations between a peripheral city and the country's central city. It offers an alternative perspective to urban discourse, which analyzes art projects in peripheral cities as duplicating colonial relations. We adapted the Marxist concept of a class in itself and a class for itself, from the socioeconomic realm to the urban realm, by using Bourdieu's field theory as a link between the sociology of art and the urban realm.
Urban sociologists and gentrification scholars have long been interested in examining the combination of structural and micro‐level forces that result in the displacement and exclusion of low‐income residents from changing neighborhoods. However, the types of everyday activities and the social and spatial practices that exclude residents who remain in these neighborhoods are an understudied part of the gentrification story. How are exclusive spaces created? What are the specific social processes that lead to exclusive space?

Transfer news: Liverpool eye move for Manchester City defender Kolo Toure
Liverpool are lining up a move for Manchester City defender Kolo Toure, Sky Sports understands.
Last Updated: 20/05/13 9:39pm
Toure is out of contract at City this summer and it is unlikely he will be offered a new deal to extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium.
The news has alerted a host of clubs across Europe to Toure's availability on a free transfer this summer.
Liverpool are thought to be ready to offer Toure the chance to stay in the Premier League with Brendan Rodgers in the market for defensive reinforcements.
Rodgers is losing Jamie Carragher to retirement, while there has been speculation over the futures of Martin Skrtel and Sebastian Coates.
Toure would help fill the void left by Carragher and provide the necessary experience to what is a youthful side at Anfield.
The 32-year-old has made 17 appearances in all competitions for City this season with the centre-back seeing his first-team chances limited by the form of Matija Nastasic alongside captain Vincent Kompany.
Toure has a wealth of Premier League experience having made over 400 appearances during his time in England and has won the Premier League title with both City and Arsenal.

Farrell endorses Lovullo as managerial candidate
BOSTON -- Amid a report out of Chicago that Torey Lovullo is on the Cubs' radar for their vacant managerial position, Red Sox manager John Farrell left no doubt that his current bench coach is more than ready for a promotion.
"To me, he's a manager-in-waiting," Farrell said. "I think he's going to have opportunities until he ends up securing one of the jobs. But he's been integral to the success that we've had here. He's a great baseball mind. The conversations and the feedback and just the insights that he gives, he's going to be very good."
Both Farrell and Lovullo confirmed that the Cubs haven't requested formal permission for an interview at this point.
"I've had no contact," said Lovullo prior to Game 6 of the American League Championship Series. "It's just been business as usual around here, which is what we all prefer."
If the Cubs do request an interview, Lovullo will make sure it takes place after Boston's season is over.
"I don't want anything to be a distraction here," Lovullo said. "My allegiance is to this group that's been together for a long time."
Lovullo has some history with Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein, who hired him to manage Triple-A Pawtucket in 2010.
"I think we have a mutual respect for one another," said Lovullo. "But we were on two different levels. He was at the big league level and I was in player development. I respected everything that the big league level stood for. There was no barriers between the front office and the manager, there was no disconnect with player development, and I know in time with that guy that sits in that seat there with Theo that it's going to be a pretty special relationship."
However, Lovullo isn't spending his hours at this juncture day-dreaming about working with Epstein or any other general manager.
There is too much at stake for the Red Sox.
"I want to make sure it's not a distraction here," Lovullo said. "This is my focus, this is where I'm at, I'm proud to be a Boston Red Sox. I understand how the association happens because of Theo's connection to the Red Sox and me being here when Theo was here."

You may or may not know that Earth's magnetosphere leaks. You might think it is therefore time to send for the intergalactic plumbers. And in a manner of speaking, that is what the European Space Agency has done, in collaboration with its counterparts in China.
Between them, the two groups have tracked the leak to its source: they have found where it is that solar particles are managing to sneak in through our magnetic shield. This solar material can be a threat to very expensive satellites, and to even more valuable astro/cosmonauts.
The venture involved the Chinese Double Star satellite, and ESA's four Cluster spacecraft, being in the right place, at the right time.
On May 8 2004, both sets of satellites found themselves in the firing line, ESA explains.
There was no unusual solar activity: no flares, coronal mass ejection or any other protuberances from the Sun. But for a period of six hours the Cluster spacecraft were hit every eight minutes by intense flows of electrically charged particles released by the Sun. The Double Star TC-1 spacecraft took an even harder pummelling, ESA explains, being blasted every four minutes for eight hours.
What happened was that a series of so-called magnetic flux tubes swept past the satellites again and again. These tubes are channels created by the merging of the Earth and Sun's magnetic fields.
One end of the tube is connected to Earth, and the other to the full force of the solar wind, and so they allow solar particles to penetrate the normally protective magnetosphere. When this happens, physicists say there has been a Flux Transfer Event. It is also known as magnetic reconnection.
The phenomenon has been known to exist for many years, but what is interesting about the day in May 2004, is that the same location underwent magnetic reconnection several times. And the satellites were there to watch it.
The data from the five spacecraft enabled scientists in France, led by Aurélie Marchaudon of the Université d'Orléans, to triangulate the location of the magnetic reconnection region, and to deduce its size.
They found that the reconnection site was on the daylight west side of the Earth's magnetic shield and was around 25000 kilometres across.
Later, Jean Berchem of the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and his team, conducted computer simulations that confirmed the observational data. ®

The White Sox were still using a six-man rotation as of Monday night.
Manager Ozzie Guillen said general manager Ken Williams is on the trip and the plan is to sit down and talk about how to handle the extra starting pitcher. The White Sox started a 10-game road trip with three games in Texas, followed by four games at Toronto and three more in Boston.
"Right now we have a plan," Guillen said. "Maybe through this trip, but later on maybe not, because if we have some days off, somebody is going to not pitch in seven or eight days. I don't know if we want to deal with that."
Guillen and Williams will have a tough job at hand with six quality starters currently in the rotation. Jake Peavy will start Tuesday's game and Gavin Floyd on Wednesday. Monday's starter John Danks, Edwin Jackson, Philip Humber and ace Mark Buerhle are also currently in the rotation.
Guillen isn't worried about telling one of them they're going to the bullpen.
"It's not about one guy," Guillen said. "It's about the ballclub. We don't want to do it to anybody."
''It's not about one guy; it's about the ballclub,'' Guillen said. ''We don't want to do it to anyone, but some guys can't pitch with eight days' rest.
''Listen, they can think whatever they want to think. I have a job, and our job is to do the best for the team, not the best for the player. Sometimes when you do the best for the player, they don't appreciate that, either. I will do what's best for the ballclub.
''They don't have a choice because it's about 25 guys. It's about the Sox; it's not about somebody's name on the back. We're going to do what's best for the ballclub.''
Jake Peavy has a different take though:
"The extra day is so big. Today should be my day. I have no problems pitching on this day. That extra day is big in recovering and it's just one more day for you to feel even better than you already do."It's strange to be pitching in a six-man rotation — the Red Sox are the only other team to do it this season — but Peavy said it might help out all of the starters later in the season."When you have six guys who are throwing the ball as well as we have, knock on wood, we have six guys who give us a chance every time we go out," Peavy said. "I can't see us staying in this the rest of the season, but I can't see us not having a little bit of an advantage over guys in August and September when we have to be 'whip hard,' so to speak, going out of the back stretch. At that point in time, you're letting it all hang out. I can see us being a little bit ahead of the pack."
UPDATE: Could John Danks end up in the bullpen?
Guillen said he will talk to pitching coach Don Cooper in the coming days and the team will have a better idea of who might be relegated to bullpen duty. It could be that the staff wants to see John Danks' start Monday to determine if he or Edwin Jackson is the one that will have to get by, for the time being anyway, on relief appearances.
UPDATE #2: Probably not:
There was some good news Monday night for John Danksdespite suffering his seventh consecutive loss to start the regular season.Manager Ozzie Guillen believes that Danks has pitched well enough to remain in the Chicago White Sox's rotation even when they trim to a five-man alignment."I think so," Guillen said after Danks didn't receive any run support in a 4-0 loss to Texas and Alexi Ogando, who improved to 5-0 with a 1.81 ERA. "I think he threw the ball well. I think he had really one bad game. We didn't do anything for him. We don't help him. That's the problem. I think I'm very happy with the way he threw the ball."
And Jake Peavy says 'whatever dude':
"Obviously everyone throwing the way we're throwing, it's going to be a tough call to do whatever they're going to do," Peavy said. "It's not my call. I'm in it for as long as they want to do it or not do it."
Peavy believes the starters would have no problem reverting to a normal five-man rotation.
"We've done it all our lives," Peavy said. "We have such a routine that that extra day you can play with. And alter your routine and draw it out longer. But we have such a routine and are creatures of habit that I can easily pitch tonight and feel healthy and strong. I don't think it's going to be a problem."

Allow me to imagine a scenario: You've been there before remember ... with HIV. The day before your diagnosis you were more or less a fully-functioning part of society, even if that wasn't particularly the aim and the day after ... you weren't. That's not to say that you ceased to exist; your role just changed that's all. It's a two-way process; society looks at you differently and you see society as something outside yourself. For many people, it's the first time they've been forced to examine their position in the world and for many people it's a real shock.
Many things you take for granted are changed forever by those three letters after your name. Even within your own subgroup of society; gay straight or whatever, you're seen as a different person after you become HIV positive. Unfortunately, it's a fact of life and we all have to get used to it. For some people it's an easier process than for others but eventually, we accept our new position in society and settle down, however uncomfortably, to get on with our lives.
So HIV bit a chunk out of your self-confidence and presented you with new challenges. These centered mainly on health and relationships. If you were lucky, your friends and family and partner stuck by you, or you found new ones without too much trouble. Again, if you were lucky, you moved on to the medication and your life also moved on in relative good health, towards a normal life expectancy. Many people are that lucky but equally many aren't and every set-back makes you realize that having HIV in your life makes you a different person. Yet however bruised, you're still standing. You're constantly reminded that twenty years ago you probably wouldn't have been but you're thankful for small mercies and that the virus can be suppressed.
Hello Neuropathy!
At the beginning, neuropathy doesn't seem so bad. A little numbness here, some tingling there; maybe some extra sensitivity or pain but generally it's something irritating that you can live with. You mention it to friends and doctors and reactions are pretty neutral and you go on with your life, a little concerned but not enough to keep you awake at night.
It's when (and if) it progresses that the problems start. Let's skip the progression details. If you're suffering from neuropathy, you know only too well how that goes and if you're looking for information, previous posts on this blog will help.
Neuropathy symptoms can end up being so severe that you are limited in what you can do in a way that you've never known before. Walking distances is a problem; sport and fitness exercises become difficult to impossible and your social life disappears like snowflakes in the sun.
Suddenly, you're once more confronted with feelings you thought you'd already overcome after you became HIV positive. You thought you'd been strong then and felt quite proud that you'd found a place for yourself in the world despite the stigmas and setbacks of HIV. Then along comes another disease which threatens to put your life on hold for an indeterminate time. Other people; even partners, family and close friends can't understand why you're suddenly morose and depressed. They put it down to the HIV, or the symptoms you're trying to describe which they also don't really understand and after a while, begin to lose sympathy and above all, patience.
What does that do to a person?
You begin to think you're stretching your credibility to breaking point. People with whom you have shared your HIV story over the years look at you with tired eyes; they've heard it all before and made enough allowances already ... or so it feels. You can't describe the sensations you're feeling because they're so difficult to put into words.
If you're in pain, you feel as though the whole world doubts you and you begin to re-tell the story about the boy who cries wolf, again and again in your mind. Worst of all, you begin to doubt yourself because there just doesn't seem to be any reason for the neuropathy. Okay you were never meant to die from having sex but at least you knew the reason for your HIV. Neuropathy, on the other hand, just seems like a cruel joke. If your doctor has also told you that you have idiopathic neuropathy but they can't find any reason for the nerve damage and it hardly shows up in the tests, you begin to feel like that person in a coma who is buried alive and can't move or say anything about it. You imagine hearing, "drama queen" being whispered behind your back and before you know it, the self-respect and feelings of self-worth that you fought so hard to maintain after the HIV diagnosis are gone again.
Now of course, not everyone with neuropathy and HIV suffers to this extent, but many do, and it affects every area of their lives. What people need from the medical profession for instance, is a pat on the back, a comforting word and some sustained moral as well as medical support. The problem is that very few in the medical profession know what it's like to have neuropathy themselves and nerve doctors are not paid psychologists, so they give you the cold, hard facts, put you on the first step of the medication windmill and abandon you to the psychological side-effects.
You then turn to your long-suffering friends, family and partners. It's not their fault either: how can they sympathize anything more than superficially, with something they've barely even heard of? You've already learned that patience and sympathy have limits and learning from experience has already taught you that you have to tone down the moaning or be faced with glassy stares and nodding heads. Neuropathy patients then begin to feel isolated and misunderstood. The more the disease progresses, the less they can do and their lives can grind to a frustrating halt.
For instance, no matter how old you are, when you're in constant discomfort or pain, your mind wants you to be as sexual as you always were but the body just won't let you. That in itself is a massive blow to the ego, especially for younger people but also for those who'd been looking forward to becoming sexual beings again after the traumas and complexes of HIV. Suddenly you start to think about how disabled you might end up being. You try this, that, or the other medication and/or supplement and while you might get some relief, nothing goes away permanently. No wonder people may become clinically depressed.
What people don't realize is how much of a shock neuropathy can be -- even to people who thought they knew what shock and awe was with HIV. It comes out of the blue; it's unexpected and seems just so unfair. Your life suddenly begins to shrink, imperceptibly at first but then at an alarming rate, until many end up lonely and socially detached, even though there may be people around them.
The disease is bad enough. It can end up being unbelievably painful at worst and unbelievably irritating at best but even greater than that, is the impact it has on a person's self-image, self-worth and self-confidence.
People have lived through this before, with the doubt and fear that they would be excluded from society by HIV; but the advent of neuropathy can attack an already fragile ego like rust on metal. It's an appropriate metaphor: rust implies that the original hasn't changed -- it's just been eroded and made imperfect to the point of no longer functioning properly.
That the world at large, and the HIV community in particular, is frequently not aware of neuropathy is both surprising and disappointing, and it needs to be addressed. People with neuropathy should only have to deal with the physical symptoms because psychologically and socially they're in safe hands -- if only! That said: if you're suffering ... you're not alone. Try to get in touch with someone else with the same problems. Supporting others is not easy, but a problem shared ...
This piece is written with all due respect to people living with HIV who also have hepatitis C, anal cancer or many other chronic conditions which are arguably more serious than neuropathy and have an even greater impact on their lives.
This and other posts are based on my opinions and impressions of living with both neuropathy and HIV. Although I do my best to ensure that facts are accurate and evidence-based, that is no substitute for discussing your own treatment with your HIV specialist or neurologist. All comments are welcome.

At a meeting in Ottawa that was almost overshadowed by the participation of controversial Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, municipal leaders from 22 cities presented a near-united front.
"Every single major city, and we had discussions about this this morning, is concerned about the lack of resources from the federal government," Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, the meeting's host, said at a news conference Wednesday.
A tight-fisted federal Conservative government, facing an election year in 2015, is focused on cost-cutting in order to present a fat federal surplus next spring that could pay for electorally attractive tax cuts.
The Harper government and big city mayors are at odds over a $1.7-billion social housing fund, but the prime minister has just rolled out a 10-year, $15-billion Building Canada infrastructure fund that was first announced in the 2013 budget.
Some $4 billion of that funding is dedicated to major, nation-building projects and another $1 billion is earmarked for communities of less than 100,000 population, leaving just less than $1 billion per year to be split among Canada's largest cities over the next decade.
"This doesn't even begin to deal with the deficit we have in infrastructure," said Gregor Robertson, the Vancouver mayor who serves as chairman of the Big Cities Mayors' Caucus.
Infrastructure Minister Denis Lebel argues that when a federal gas tax fund and other infrastructure funds for municipalities are included, Ottawa will actually spend $53 billion over the next decade.
"Approximately 95 per cent of public infrastructure is owned by provinces, territories and municipalities, and the role of the federal government is one of a supportive funding partner," Lebel said in a release.
The numbers are staggering in magnitude, but so are the needs.
Hazel McCallion, the perennial mayor of Mississauga, Ont., noted the Greater Toronto Area alone needs $50 billion to fix crumbling roads, bridges and sewer lines.
Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi says his bursting city needs to spend $13 billion just on transit.
Vancouver's Robertson made the case that traffic gridlock costs the country $10 billion a year in lost productivity. And he said uncertain funding for social housing has an impact right up the economic ladder.
Story continues after slideshow:
"We want to see more housing built that reaches right into the middle class because, increasingly, the middle class can't afford to live in Canadian cities," said Robertson.
Housing is the No. 1 priority for Canada's big cities, he said, followed by transit issues and then wastewater treatment.
Nenshi took specific aim at the freshly announced Building Canada infrastructure fund.
The Calgary mayor said the rules for the fund were made without any consultation "whatsoever" with municipalities, "and they're a bit weird.
"Actually, they're very weird — a bunch of very strange things in there."
Nenshi noted universities and for-profit organizations are now eligible for municipal infrastructure funds.
He said all projects worth more than $100 million must go through a screening process for public-private partnerships, and the federal government is using a process "that is not only outdated, it costs about 10 times as much and five times as much time as what they do in Europe."
"These are things we really need to get sorted."
Nenshi and several other mayors all said a $1.7-billion social housing fund expires next year, and they've been lobbying Ottawa for more than a year about maintaining it, without a response.
A spokesman for Candice Bergen, the cabinet minister responsible for social housing, said the funding is a mortgage subsidy for social housing.
"Once the mortgages are paid off, there is no longer a mortgage to subsidize," Andrew McGrath said in an email.
"The last of these mortgage subsidies will reach maturation in 2038. It is not accurate to say that the $1.7 billion in mortgage subsidies is expiring next year."
McCallion, the 93-year-old who has been mayor of the sprawling Mississauga suburb since 1978, attributed the funding fights to politics and predicted the logjam will break in the 2015 federal election year.
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau pledged last weekend to spend up to one per cent of the country's GDP — roughly $18 billion — annually on infrastructure if he becomes prime minister.
McCallion used a little west-end Toronto geography to sum up the situation, predicting in the run-up to next October's election municipal infrastructure funds from Ottawa will "flow like the Credit River."

Winston, Manziel look to make Heisman moves
Recommended Video:
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- Jameis Winston had a quiet day while Florida State was putting up another blowout. Johnny Manziel was spectacular and mistake-prone for Texas A&M.
The Heisman Trophy contenders both started the stretch drive with victories Saturday in a race that appears up for grabs.
Winston threw for 159 yards and two touchdowns as No. 3 Florida State pounded Wake Forest 59-3. He also threw an interception as the Seminoles' defense did much of the work with six interceptions in Winston-Salem, N.C.
The 11th-ranked Aggies needed every bit of Manziel's 446 yards passing and five TDs in a 51-41 victory at home against Mississippi State.
Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota seemed to be the front-runner for the Heisman, but he had an off night as Stanford beat the Ducks on Thursday. Manziel is trying for his second consecutive Heisman, and Winston is trying to become the second straight redshirt freshman to win the award.
Alabama's AJ McCarron helped his Heisman case by throwing three touchdown passes in a victory against LSU.
No. 1 ALABAMA 38, No. 10 LSU 17
T.J. Yeldon ran for 133 yards and two scores and Alabama overwhelmed No. 10 LSU 38-17 Saturday night.
The Crimson Tide (9-0, 6-0 Southeastern Conference) turned to power football to take control of a game that was tied early in the third quarter. Yeldon carried 18 times in the second half, 25 overall, after catching the game-winning touchdown pass in last season's meeting with the Tigers (7-3, 3-3).
Alabama scored the final 21 points to brush aside its first challenge since Game 2 against Texas A&M.
McCarron was a workmanlike 14-of-20 passing for 179 yards, letting Yeldon, Kenyan Drake and their blockers assert control.
Zach Mettenberger completed 16 of 23 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown but was also sacked four times.
It was the most points Alabama has scored against LSU since a 41-12 victory in 1947.
No. 3 FLORIDA STATE 59, WAKE FOREST 3
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) -- Jameis Winston threw two touchdown passes, and Florida State tied a school record with six interceptions as it clinched ACC a championship game berth.
Nate Andrews took an interception 56 yards for a touchdown and Jalen Ramsey returned a fumble 23 yards for a score on consecutive plays.
The Seminoles (9-0, 7-0) claimed the inside track to a BCS title game berth with No. 2 Oregon's loss Thursday. They kept firm grasp of it by forcing seven turnovers and breaking the stadium record of 56 points they set in 1994.
Florida State outgained Wake Forest (4-6, 2-5) 296-166 and turned those turnovers into five TDs and a field goal.
Winston was 17 of 28 for 159 yards in two-plus quarters with an 18-yard TD to Kelvin Benjamin and a 2-yarder to Chad Abram that made it 42-0 at halftime.
No. 11 TEXAS A&M 51, MISSISSIPPI STATE 41
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) -- Johnny Manziel threw for 446 yards and tied a career-high with five touchdown passes to lead Texas A&M to a win in what could be the Heisman Trophy winner's last home game.
The crowd chanted "One more year! One more year!" late in the game for Manziel, who is eligible for the draft after this season. Whether he comes back remains to be seen, but he went into the stands to celebrate with the student section when the game was over.
Mississippi State cut the lead to 10 points early in the fourth quarter, but Manziel threw his fifth touchdown pass to make it 44-27 for A&M (8-2, 4-2 Southeastern Conference). The defense grabbed an interception and Ben Malena's 2-yard TD run extended the lead to 51-27.
Dax Prescott threw for 149 yards and two scores and ran for 154 yards for Mississippi State (4-5, 1-4).
Malcome Kennedy and Travis Labhart had two touchdown receptions each. Mike Evans had 116 yards receiving to break the school single-season record with 1,263.
Manziel set a school career record for total yards with 9,040 and a single-season record with 31 touchdown passes. He became just the second A&M quarterback to run for 2,000 yards in a career and has 3,313 yards passing this year to become the first Aggie with two 3,000-yard passing seasons.
No. 7 AUBURN 55, TENNESSEE 23.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) --Nick Marshall gained 214 of Auburn's 444 yards rushing and the Tigers scored on a punt return and kickoff return against Tennessee.
Marshall ran for two touchdowns on just 14 carries and threw for a third score. Tre Mason rushed for 117 yards and three touchdowns as Auburn (9-1, 5-1 SEC) earned its sixth straight victory and averaged 8.4 yards per carry.
Chris Davis put Auburn ahead for good and broke a 13-13 tie in the second quarter with an 85-yard punt return, Auburn's longest since 1970 and third-longest ever. Corey Grant returned the second-half kickoff 90 yards for another Auburn touchdown.
Auburn won while attempting just seven passes all day. The Tigers had thrown just nine passes last week in a 35-17 victory over Arkansas.
Rajion Neal rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown for Tennessee (4-6, 1-5), which dropped its third straight.
No. 9 MISSOURI 48, KENTUCKY 17
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Maty Mauk threw five touchdown passes, four to Dorial Green-Beckham, and No. 9 Missouri cruised past Kentucky.
Making his fourth consecutive start in place of the injured James Franklin, the Tigers' redshirt freshman completed 17 of 28 attempts for 203 yards and took full advantage of 6-foot-6 sophomore Green-Beckham, whose TD receptions set a school record.
Mauk added a 6-yard scoring pass to Henry Josey, who also rushed for two TDs, including an 86-yarder.
Missouri (9-1, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) allowed Kentucky (2-7, 0-5) two touchdowns in the third quarter but the Mauk-to-Green-Beckham connection answered both scores with TDs.
The victory helped the Tigers stay a half-game ahead of idle South Carolina (5-2) atop the East division heading into their second bye and gave coach Gary Pinkel his fourth nine-win season in 13 years with Missouri.
VIRGINIA TECH 42, No. 14 MIAMI 24
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) -- Trey Edmunds ran for four touchdowns, the first three of them set up by Miami special-teams miscues, and Virginia Tech knocked off the 14th-ranked Hurricanes 42-24 on Saturday night.
Edmunds had scoring runs of 10, 2, 4 and 1 yards for the Hokies (7-3, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). Logan Thomas completed 25 of 31 passes for 366 yards, giving him consecutive games of 300 yards or more for the first time in his Virginia Tech career.
Stephen Morris completed 16 of 29 passes for 324 yards for Miami (7-2, 3-2), which lost its second straight. Morris had an 81-yard touchdown pass to Stacy Coley and an 84-yarder to Allen Hurns, but the Hurricanes were still outgained 549-352.
Virginia Tech held Miami to 28 rushing yards. The Hokies had 26 first downs to Miami's 12.
The win turns the ACC's Coastal Division into a muddled mess.
No. 15 OKLAHOMA STATE 42, KANSAS 6
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) -- Clint Chelf completed 19 of 37 passes for 265 yards and three touchdowns to lead No. 15 Oklahoma State to a 42-6 victory over Kansas Saturday.
Desmond Roland added 44 yards and a touchdown on 16 rushes for the Cowboys (8-1, 5-1 Big 12), who won their fifth straight game. Roland also had a 19-yard reception for a score early in the second quarter that gave OSU a 21-0 lead.
Montell Cozart threw for 58 yards while rushing for 55 on 18 carries for Kansas (2-7, 0-6), which lost its sixth in a row. Tony Pierson returned from a three-game absence due to a concussion and gained 87 yards on six rushes.
Oklahoma State jumped on top immediately when Justin Gilbert returned the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown.
No. 16 UCLA 31, ARIZONA 26
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- Freshman linebacker Myles Jack played offense, too, rushing for 120 yards on his first six carries of the season, including a 66-yard touchdown that helped UCLA beat Arizona.
On defense, Jack had eight tackles and recovered Ka'Deem Carey's fumble in the UCLA end zone as the Bruins won in Tucson for the first time since 2003.
Brett Hundley passed for two touchdowns and ran for another as UCLA (7-2, 4-2 Pac-12) stayed a game behind first-place Arizona State in the Pac-12 South. Carey rushed for 149 yards on 28 carries for the Wildcats (6-3, 3-3), running his school-record string of consecutive 100-yard rushing games to 12.
Hundley threw a 66-yard touchdown pass to Shaq Evans on UCLA's first offensive play. Evans also had a 4-yard scoring catch.
Arizona's B.J. Denker had a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown passes to Nate Phillips.
The Bruins were without starting running back Jordon James, who aggravated a right ankle injury a week earlier against Colorado, and they turned to the 18-year-old Jack to fill in at crucial times.
No. 17 FRESNO ST. 48, WYOMING 10
LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) -- Derek Carr threw for 366 yards and four touchdowns, and Josh Quezada rushed for 105 yards and a score as unbeaten Fresno State defeated Wyoming.
Fresno State (9-0, 6-0 Mountain West) is one of six Top 25 teams that remain undefeated.
Wyoming (4-5, 2-3) is 0-15 against ranked teams under fifth-year coach Dave Christensen and hasn't beaten a Top 25 opponent since 2002, when the Cowboys defeated No. 24 Air Force 34-26.
Carr completed 33 of 46 passes with no interceptions before being pulled for the night with 9:45 left and the game well in hand. He has gone 229 pass attempts without an interception.
Brett Smith led the Cowboys, completing 18 of 32 passes for 141 yards and a touchdown.
No. 19 UCF 19, HOUSTON 14
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- William Stanback scored two touchdowns and No. 19 UCF held off a late Houston threat to keep first place in the American Athletic Conference all to itself.
Storm Johnson added 127 yards rushing for UCF (7-1, 4-0), which has the inside track to the league's automatic BCS bid, with victories against the Cougars and Louisville.
The Cougars drove to the UCF 10 in the final minute, but came up empty on back-to-back passes from John O'Korn into the end zone. The first went off star receiver Deontay Greenberry's finger tips and the second sailed high.
O'Korn had a touchdown pass and two interceptions for the Cougars (7-2, 4-1).
The Knights had three giveaways and lost receiver Breshad Perriman to a targeting hit early in the fourth quarter, but rallied to preserve the win.
No. 21 WISCONSIN 27, BYU 17
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- James White ran for two touchdowns and caught a pass for another score, and Wisconsin stalled BYU's fast-paced offense .
White finished with 147 yards rushing, while Chris Borland looked just fine coming back from a hamstring injury in flying around the field for 13 tackles and two sacks for the Badgers (7-2).
Kyle Van Noy went step-for-step with Borland in a matchup of star linebackers with eight tackles and an interception for BYU (6-3). Taysom Hill threw two touchdown passes to Cody Hoffman, but the dual-treat quarterback was held in check by Wisconsin pressure.
White locked up the win with his third score on a 14-yard run with 13:51 left in the fourth for a three-possession lead.
No. 23 ARIZONA STATE 20, UTAH 19
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Taylor Kelly ran for a touchdown and threw for another in the fourth quarter and Arizona State came from behind to beat Utah.
Sun Devils All-America defensive tackle Will Sutton sealed the victory with an interception at the line of scrimmage with 1:01 left at the Utah 25.
Stifled by Utah's aggressive defense for most of three quarters, Kelly helped keep the Sun Devils (7-2, 5-1 Pac-12) in the driver's seat for the Pac-12 South title.
Kelly finished 19-for-31 passing for 144 yards and Marion Grice rushed 20 times for 136 yards. Grice busted through the Utah line and rumbled 38 yards to set up Kelly's 14-yard touchdown pass to Richard Smith with 2:37 to play to make it 20-19. Utah's Trevor Reilly sacked Kelly on the 2-point conversion attempt.
Travis Wilson was 6 for 21 for 121 yards for Utah (4-5, 1-5 Pac-12) and threw interceptions that ended the Utes' last two drives. Wilson hit Sean Fitzgerald for a 12-yard touchdown with 5:19 left in the third quarter to give Utah a 19-7 lead and the Utes looked prime for a second home upset to go along with the one they sprung on Stanford last month.
PITTSBURGH 28, No. 24 NOTRE DAME 21
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- James Conner ran for two short touchdowns, including the go-ahead score with 9:36 remaining as Pittsburgh upset Notre Dame.
Tom Savage passed for 243 yards and two scores to Devin Street as the Panthers (5-4) took advantage of some sloppy play by the Fighting Irish (7-3) to end Notre Dame's four-game winning streak.
The Irish turned it over three times, including a pair of fourth-quarter interceptions by Tommy Rees. Rees completed 18 of 39 for 318 yards and two touchdowns but was picked off by Pitt's Ray Vinopal on consecutive passes in the final quarter.
TJ Jones caught six passes for 149 yards and a touchdown and ran for another but Notre Dame's hopes for a Bowl Championship Series bowl bid vanished in a sloppy final 15 minutes.
KANSAS STATE 49, No. 25 TEXAS TECH 26
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- Jake Waters and Daniel Sams each ran for two touchdowns to lead Kansas State past Texas Tech.
Sams' TDs came on a 1-yard rush and a 5-yarder, and Waters scored from 1 yard and 13 yards.
Waters threw a 20-yard touchdown to Tramaine Thompson. John Hubert, who scored on a 63-yard run early in the game, finished with 157 yards on 23 carries to lead the Wildcats.
Ty Zimmerman scored a 43-yard touchdown after intercepting a pass from Texas Tech backup quarterback Baker Mayfield early in the fourth quarter.
The win was the third in a row for the Wildcats (5-4, 3-3 Big 12), while the Red Raiders (7-3, 4-3) dropped their third straight game.
Mayfield, who came in for starter Davis Webb late in the second quarter, was 34 for 44 for 276 yards and two interceptions.

Janet Jackson and her husband Wissam Al Mana are still together, despite media reports that surfaced earlier this week that they are heading for splitsville.
"From what I was told, she never said divorce," a source close to the situation tells E! News. "From what I'm told, she's staying with him."
The source continued that the couple's relationship has changed since they tied the knot in 2012.
"All the bliss that Janet experienced pre-marriage with Wissam and in the first couple of months is gone."
The source "believes" the singer-actress and the Arab businessman are still living together.
This denial comes in the wake of a source claiming that the pair's marriage had "collapsed," and the 47-year-old confided in her mother Katherine Jackson and some close friends that she was preparing to leave her husband.
Another source close to the couple set the record straight to Entertainment Tonight and said, "The rumors about their marriage are a lie. They are very happy and very much together. In fact, the couple has recently purchased an even larger home in New York."
Jackson confirmed their union on her website on Feb. 25, 2013 and the Grammy winner also revealed that she and her billionaire beau had actually tied the knot in 2012.
"The rumors regarding an extravagant wedding are simply not true," the couple said in a joint statement at the time. "Last year we were married in a quiet, private and beautiful ceremony."
They added, "Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective favorite children's charities. We would appreciate that our privacy is respected and that we are allowed this time for celebration and joy. With love, Wissam and Janet."
