Just venting here. It's a very low traffic community for a sports team, with announcements from that team's own website posted to the community. And people have to come in and vote it down. 😐

Pote Human will continue to lead the Western Conference division champion SaberCats as their coach and the man responsible for daily operations involving the players and coaching staff.

The SaberCats set a franchise record for victories this past season with a 14-2 mark as the top seeded team in the Major League Rugby playoffs.

To all of our devoted supporters,

Leading the Houston SaberCats for the last three years has been a great reminder of how sport is about more than what happens on the field. The love, support and kindness from everyone wearing the yellow and black makes it easy for me to say that Houston will always have a special place in my heart.

My goal has always been to promote this franchise to a level that demands respect from the rugby community in the USA. To make a difference, to build a team that this city can be proud of. After this year, I believe we have achieved it, as an organization working together.

Thank you, Houston. It has been a pleasure. All the best.

Up to one in four patients who are unresponsive after suffering serious brain injuries might actually still be conscious – indicating more patients may be aware of their surroundings than previously realized, new research suggests.

This state of 'hidden consciousness' is now officially known as cognitive motor dissociation (CMD), where cognitive (or thinking) abilities aren't connected to motor (or movement) abilities. Researchers have been looking into CMD for several years.

However, 62 percent of an additional 112 patients who were visibly responding to instructions at the bedside didn't exhibit the expected brain signals showing responsiveness – so the researchers suggest their methods still don't detect everyone with cognitive function.

Seattle vs New England. Sunday, August 4th, in Snap Dragon stadium in San Diego, at 1:00PM Pacific, 4:00 PM Eastern, broadcast on Fox (not Fox Sports). Dig out your antennas or head to the pub.

It's Championship time.

• CS 11
• XP 5
• XP 8

Looks like the CS 11 has dropped the AC port and sag control from the 12, and it has an output to power an XP 5 or XP 8. The XP 5 and 8 drop the IEC power plugs, and have outputs to daisy chain to more XP 5/8 units. The XP 5 has SKUs for with and without a power supply, the XP 8 is only sold with a power supply.
