Richard M. Daley is no longer mayor of Chicago — just don't look too closely at the hundreds of park benches, sidewalks, bridges and buildings adorned with his name.

Maybin went 4 for 4 with two homers and three RBIs in San Diego's 12-7 loss to the Colorado Rockies. It was the first career multihomer game for Maybin and it followed a 4-for-6 effort with two RBIs on Wednesday at Milwaukee. He is the first Padres player with consecutive four-hit games since Reggie Sanders on July 2-3, 1999, at Coors Field.

Not necessarily. Is it the most convenient method of carrying and listening to your music collection? No. But, it has an advantage in that it is capable of doing all of those things--and doing them quite well in most cases--in one portable device.

If you go on a trip and you can only take one device, which would you choose? If you take the laptop, good luck reading a book by the pool, or rocking some tunes on your headphones while you take a walk. If you take the ereader, you will have the pool thing covered, and can probably listen to some music in most cases, but checking Facebook, writing an email, or editing an Excel file could be problematic. If you have a portable music player, you're probably stuck listening to music unless you have something like the iPod Touch. In that case, you essentially have a mini tablet, but the diminutive display is not ideal for reading books or getting any productive work done.

Reports were flooding in this morning that users were unable to access The Pirate Bays site. According to , numerous Comcast subscribers are complaining that the site is inaccessible. The down time appeared to be exclusively affecting Comcast, as tests showed 3G and 4G devices were able to load the page without issue. Further tests show that the blockade is not DNS related. What is actually causing the issue is uncertain at this point, TorrentFreak claims. As the issue continues to unravel, however, it appears that the site is inaccessible for users worldwide. And seeing as Comcast is a U.S. ISP only, its increasingly likely that the problem lies elsewhere.

s safe to say that employers generally frown on workers who play video games during work time. As common sense dictates, you're obviously not working when trying to win virtual gold by playing World of Warcraft or stealthily assassinating the enemy in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

But gaming outside of work or even during breaks at the office can help you in ways you might never have thought possible. Indeed, studies show that gaming can boost your ability to multitask, make faster decisions, work better in team environment, and find solutions to real-world problems.

Mike Huckabee's decision to forgo a shot at the presidency further muddies the field for a worthy Republican challenger to President Barack Obama, and leaves America's social conservatives without a clear candidate to throw their support behind.

Huckabee on Saturday night became the latest Republican to opt out of running, declaring that he would stick with his lucrative career as a television and radio personality over a race that promises to be both costly and caustic. By joining Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, South Dakota Sen. John Thune and Indiana Rep. Mike Pence on the sidelines, the former Arkansas governor underlined that for all of Obama's vulnerabilities on the economy, taking on his re-election machine and potential $1 billion treasure chest remains a daunting task.
