The Indians also receive relievers Matt Albers and Bryan Shaw

For some time, the Indians have known that, eventually, there would be a day in which Shin-Soo Choo would likely don another franchise's uniform.

That day arrived on Tuesday, when the Tribe traded the right fielder to the  Redsin a three-team, nine-player exchange that sent outfielder Drew Stubbs and pitcher Trevor Bauer to Cleveland and shortstop Didi Gregorius to Arizona.

The Indians also receive relievers Matt Albers and Bryan Shaw from the D-backs. Cleveland sent Choo, infielder Jason Donald and cash to the Reds and southpaw reliever Tony Sipp and first baseman Lars Anderson to Arizona.

Choo can become a free agent at the end of the 2013 campaign. Cleveland made repeated attempts at negotiating a long-term pact with the South Korea native, but couldn't make enough headway with agent Scott Boras. Choo earned $4.9 million last season. 

Olson emphasized that both he and Log Cabin support Romney

"Our nation needs common sense solutions to fixing our economy and creating private sector jobs and Gov. Romney will provide us with the strong leadership we need at this critical time," Ros-Lehtinen said. "Gov. Romneyunderstands that businesses need less government regulation and lower taxes. Romney is the right man for our time. I am pleased that Log Cabin Republicans is endorsing Gov. Romney. I know that all of us together will fight for equality for all Americans, regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation."

Olson emphasized that both he and Log Cabin support Romney for president and marriage equality at the same time.

"Like the Log Cabin Republicans, I am proud to support Governor Romney for president, and I am proud to be an advocate for the freedom to marry," Cooper said. "This endorsement speaks to Log Cabin's principled belief in equality for all Americans, and the pragmatic recognition that our nation is in need of new leadership. Getting our fiscal house in order is more than an economic imperative – it's a moral imperative. Gay or straight, Americans deserve a president who will secure a future for our children that doesn't leave them buried in debt."

Canty said his frustration over the team’s decision lingered

While Coughlin and the players are loath to point to injuries as an excuse for the unit's drop-off, it seems that defensive tackle Chris Canty's presence has been missed more than one might have expected.

Cantywas placed on the physically unable to perform list before Week 1 in a move the team said was designed to help him recover from off-season knee surgery. That decision meant Canty would not be eligible to play until after Week 6, and Canty expressed surprise at the move at the time.

On Monday, Canty said his frustration over the team's decision lingered for about a week, at which point he resigned himself to having to sit out and began focusing on being in top shape when he is allowed to return. 

Apple (or its minions) has been sending squadrons of aircraft

Apple (or its minions) has been sending squadrons of aircraft all over the planet to produce detailed 3D maps of major cities. The planes criss-cross the area and produce detailed views of every block from every angle, collecting volumes of imagery and data. The result is a video game-style 3D environment of the city which reproduces streets, buildings, and features in high detail and at near-photographic quality. You can freely travel through this environment and via multitouch gestures that move you through the city, change your elevation, and rotate you around a point of interest.

On an iPhone screen, the feature is functional. On the big screen of a Retina-quality iPad, 3D Maps is completely immersive and it's almost compulsive. Honest to God: it's like there's an edition of Grand Theft Auto set in this city, and you've flying around in a stolen traffic helicopter. You would expect to see 3D versions of the city's most famous buildings, and yup, they're all there. But Flyover covers everything, block after block. There's enough detail to see 3D cars and monuments, and sunbathers in Boston Common. The McKimBuilding of the Boston Public Library includes a small courtyard that's open to the sky and surrounded on all four sides by several stories. I might have expected the courtyard to be artificially capped off but no: you can peer inside and see the fountain and move around and view all four of the interior faces of the building that encloses it.

NHL labor talks are set to resume

NHL labor talks are set to resume with a wide gap remaining and time running out to avoid a potential lockout.

NHL Players' Association executive director Don Fehr and NHL commissioner  GaryBettman are scheduled to be back at the negotiating table at the union's headquarters in Toronto on Wednesday. It will mark the first time in a week the respective leaders will meet face to face after negotiations hit a significant snag.

Last week, Bettman essentially rejected the union's counterproposal by calling it incomplete and suggested the sides aren't on the same page in addressing the league's economic issues.

Walsh Jennings won’t even allow herself to think about the emotions

That's the only set the two have dropped in three Olympics during a 20-match winning streak.

Walsh Jennings won't even allow herself to think about the emotions that will come once they're through.

"No, I don't," Walsh Jennings said. "I'm focused on our goal, and our goal is to enjoy every second of this, which we're doing, and our other goal is to win a gold medal. And after that, we'll see how it goes."

As they walked off the Olympic sand for the second-to-last time, Walsh Jenningsraised both arms to the cheering crowd.

"We know we have this in us," Walsh Jennings said, "we've just got to go execute."

Globalization means manufacturing companies will be drawn

"And it's frustrating for us because it's a cause we've been fighting for, and we've been trying to raise awareness and trying to convince designers to move work back to our shores and stop off-shoring and start on-shoring. This would have been the perfect opportunity."

But free market advocates, such as the Cato Institute, say none of this is surprising.

Globalization means manufacturing companies will be drawn to countries where the costs are lowest, according to Daniel J. Ikenson of the Cato Institute.
