Yanks SS Jeter has strained calf, return uncertain

SAN DIEGO (AP) ? The New York Yankees could be losing shortstop Derek Jeter again ? to yet another leg injury.

An MRI exam revealed that Jeter has a strained right calf, the latest setback in a year already full of injuries for the team captain. The Yankees hope to know more about his condition before Monday night's game at the Chicago White Sox.

"Who knows?" Jeter said when asked if he'd be shut down again. "I'm tired of trying to speculate. It's frustrating, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.

"It's been terrible, like a nightmare," he added after the Yankees' 6-3 loss to San Diego on Sunday. "The whole season's been a nightmare, so I really don't know what to tell you. I wish that wasn't the case, we were sitting here talking about something other than injuries. We'll see what happens. I have no idea."

Jeter, 38, didn't play Saturday or Sunday against the Padres.

"The odd thing is there was no play where it happened," Jeter said. "Usually, you feel it in a particular play, but I didn't feel it in any particular play. We got to L.A., I started to feel it Monday night, Tuesday on the off day after Sunday's game.

"It's different because when I did it last time, I felt it. I was running to first base, and I felt it. This time I didn't feel anything when I was playing. It was later on that night, the next day. So I can't pinpoint when it happened. I don't know when it happened. Maybe adrenaline got me through it. Anything would be speculation (if) I try to figure out when I did it."

It did appear that Jeter took an awkward step while making a play in Friday night's 7-2 loss to San Diego. He also had an awkward slide into third base.

In announcing Jeter's latest injury, manager Joe Girardi said: "I can't tell you what that means or what we're going to do with him. I'm not sure what we're going to do considering where we are at this point of the year."

Asked before the game if he's concerned that Jeter keeps getting hurt, the manager said: "I think that if he had a normal spring training and he wasn't coming off an injury like he did, I don't think these things would be happening. My guess is next year will be different, but only time will tell.

"Could it happen again?" Girardi said. "Yeah something could happen, because we're at that time of year where we can't really afford to say, 'Take 25 days.' You can't do that."

Is the injury part of Jeter still favoring the left ankle he broke in last season's AL championship series?

"You're asking me to play doctor or God, which is even harder. I can't do that," Girardi said.

Girardi doesn't know if the new injury came about because of a strained right quadriceps that landed Jeter on the disabled list from July 12 until being activated last Sunday.

Jeter is hitting .211 (4 for 19) with one home run and two RBIs.

The Yankees got only 2 2-3 innings from Phil Hughes on Sunday and lost to Ian Kennedy in his Padres debut.

"It's frustrating," Girardi said. "We had a chance to win the series and didn't. We're going to have to if we're going to play in October."

The Yankees are a season-worst 9? games out of first place in the AL East and 4? out in the race for the second wild-card spot.

"There's still a lot of time. The teams in front we're going to play a lot, but you don't' want to dig yourself a big hole," Girardi said.

Hughes (4-10) had his second-shortest outing of the season, allowing five runs and six hits while striking out one and walking one.

The Southern California native got through the first inning unscathed but was roughed up in the second and third innings. He allowed singles to Will Venable and Chris Denorfia opening the second before Mark Kotsay hit a sacrifice fly. He then walked Nick Hundley before Kennedy sacrificed ahead of Everth Cabrera's two-run single.

Hughes again put on the first two batters in the third, allowing a single to Alexi Amarista and walking Chase Headley, and again, both scored. Denorfia hit a sacrifice fly and Kotsay hit an RBI single with two outs, chasing Hughes.

"He couldn't put people away," Girardi said. "The bottom line is, he didn't make pitches when he had to."

Hughes, who's 0-3 in his last five starts, agreed.

"I blew an opportunity there in the second to get an out, two outs, and it comes down to not making quality pitches when I had to," he said. "There were runners in scoring position and a lot of long counts and just a battle the entire time. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to execute a couple of big pitches with two outs."

It was the sixth time this season he's gone four innings or fewer.

NOTES: Yankees RHP Michael Pineda came out of his start with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday night with shoulder stiffness, and Girardi said he will be evaluated by doctors this week. Coming off April 2012 surgery to repair a torn labrum in his pitching shoulder, Pineda is 2-1 with a 3.32 ERA in 10 minor league starts this year. ... The Yankees open a three-game series at the Chicago White Sox on Monday night, with LHP Andy Pettitte (7-8, 4.28 ERA) scheduled to oppose LHP Jose Quintana (5-3, 3.62).

Matchtech awards Cambridge University Eco Racing team winner of the Engineering Showcase 2013

Judges of the competition included editor of The Engineer, Jon Excell, Chief Executive of EngineeringUK, Paul Jackson, and MD of Matchtech, Keith Lewis. ?

Entries which made the Highly Commended shortlist were Houlder with its ?Fast Track? reel skidding and drive system, alongside Sheffield University with its student entry, ?Robot Swarm?.

MD of Matchtech Keith Lewis said, ?I am extremely pleased to announce that the winning entry was the Cambridge University Eco Racing (CUER) car. The team has taken a bold move by taking a fundamentally different approach to solar car design that focussed on aerodynamics rather than maximising surface area, which is a great demonstration of innovation.

?As with all our shortlisted entries, the winning project is undoubtedly inspiring, demonstrating how much scope there is within the field of engineering with new techniques and designs yet to be discovered. This opportunity is placed in the hands of the next generation and by putting the spotlight on engineering talent such as this, I hope we have encouraged future engineers to pursue careers in this field, whilst sufficiently celebrating the achievements happening within our UK industry today.?

Paul Jackson, Chief Executive of EngineeringUK and judging panel member said of the importance of initiatives such as the Engineering Showcase to the future of the engineering industry in the UK, ?I hope great projects like these will not just help to raise the ambitions of those already pursuing engineering careers, but will inspire young people just starting to think about their future career. Ensuring our future engineering talent-pipeline must start in schools. We must be aiming to double the number of young people studying GCSE physics as part of triple sciences and grow the number of students studying physics A level to match those studying maths.?

The Cambridge University Eco Racing (CUER) team, entered the competition with an aerodynamic eco car designed to race in a 3000km solar marathon across the Australian Outback. Jon Excell, editor of The Engineer said of the winning project, ?I chose this as the winning project because I felt it met the judging criteria (innovation, impact, cost-effectiveness and resourcefulness) more convincingly than the other two entries, and offers the clearest explanation of how the project meets these criteria. The way in which a student team has tapped into industry funding and support is a strong example of both resourcefulness and cost effectiveness.?

Kane?s injury keeps him out of Money in the Bank

After days of speculation, it?s now official. The Big Red Monster Kane will not compete in this Sunday?s Money in the Bank All-Stars Match, according to WWE.com sources.

Kane was injured in a brutal assault by The Wyatt Family on Raw, leaving the veteran with head and neck trauma.

Watch The Wyatts viciously pummel Kane

Kane?s absence leaves a hole in perhaps the highest stakes match of the year. Will another Superstar get the opportunity to compete? As of Friday, WWE.com was unable to find out if a replacement will be named, but here are some potential Superstars who might be able to fill the void.

The Great Khali
The 347-pound former World Heavyweight Champion would certainly be a formidable force to be reckoned with in the All-Stars Match. Although the giant can boast many accomplishments in his career, the WWE Title has eluded him. A win this Sunday would instantly bring such an opportunity within his massive grasp.

Big Show
Where has The World?s Largest Athlete been as of late? With his ?ironclad contract,? he said in a?recent interview he could take time off whenever he pleases. Could he decide to make a return at Money in the Bank?

Kofi Kingston
The high-flying Kofi Kingston is currently out of action and recuperating following?elbow surgery in June. Could he surprise everyone and return sooner than expected?

WWE Legend
Could Raw General Manager Brad Maddox look to make an impact in his new role as early as this Sunday? If so, there?d be nothing bigger than naming a replacement for Kane. Perhaps instead of a current Superstar, he?d make a huge splash by adding a?WWE Legend to the All-Stars Match?

No one
The Big Red Machine has huge shoes to fill. It?s certainly possible that no Superstar will be called into action to take his place in the Money in the Bank All-Stars Match. If that?s the case, it?s one fewer formidable force for the other combatants to have to deal with.

Who will ascend the ladder and claim the coveted WWE Championship opportunity? To find out, tune in to Money in the Bank this Sunday, with coverage starting during the free?Kickoff Match at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT.

Rights officials in Russia go to meet Snowden

MOSCOW (AP) ? About a dozen Russian human rights activists, lawyers and political figures were ushered into a section of Moscow's Sheremetyevo international airport on Friday to meet with Edward Snowden, the leaker of U.S. National Security Agency secrets.

Snowden is believed to have been stuck in the airport's transit zone since arriving from Hong Kong on June 23, as he negotiates for asylum in another country.

The activists included Sergei Nikitin, head of Amnesty International's Russia office, and Tatiana Lokshina, deputy head of the Russian office of Human Rights Watch. Also taken into the meeting room were Russia's presidential human rights ombudsman Vladimir Lukin, prominent attorney Genri Reznik, and Vyacheslav Nikonov, head of the Russian parliament's education committee.

They came after an email in Snowden's name was sent on Thursday. On Facebook, Lokshina posted the text of the email, which says in part that Snowden wants to make "a brief statement and discussion regarding the next steps forward in my situation."

Hundreds of journalists flocked to the airport, but were kept in a hallway outside the meeting area which is behind a gray door marked "staff only." It was not clear if Snowden would have to come out that door or if he could exit by another route.

The text of the invitation does not directly address the offers of asylum that Snowden has received from Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua, though it expresses gratitude for asylum offers and says "I hope to travel to each of them." It accuses the United States of "an unlawful campaign ... to deny my right to seek and enjoy this asylum."

Reznik said before the meeting that he expected Snowden called for it in order to seek asylum in Russia.

Snowden made an earlier application for Russian asylum. But Russian President Vladimir Putin said asylum would be conditional on Snowden stopping leaking U.S. secrets; Snowden then withdrew his asylum bid, Russian officials said.

How much the human rights organizations could influence a Russian asylum bid or other aspects of Snowden's dilemma is unclear. Putin takes a dim view of non-governmental organizations' involvement in political matters.

But an appeal by Snowden to internationally respected groups could boost his status and give Russia a pretext for reconsidering asylum.

Snowden has not been seen in public since arriving in Moscow from Hong Kong, where he had fled before his leaks about American Internet surveillance were made public. Russia has said it cannot extradite him because by remaining in the transit zone he is technically outside Russian territory.

Venezuela, Nicaragua and Bolivia have said they would be willing to grant asylum to Snowden. But it is unclear if Snowden could fly from Moscow to any of those countries without passing through the airspace of the United States or allied countries.
