The Eye-Opening and Incredibly Visual Graphic Shows Some of Googles Most Important Metrics, All in Real Time
London, UK (PRWEB) July 12, 2014
Buddy Loans, a professional guarantor loan company based in the UK, has just released a very visual infographic called Google in Real Time. The clever and fascinating infographic features actual counters that show in real time just how popular the Google search engine is, as well as several of its other metrics.
As a company spokesperson for Buddy Loans noted, prior to the late 1990s, no one had really heard of Google, let alone other websites like YouTube or Google Plus, or terms like SEO. Fast forward to 2007, and the powerful company was already running around a million servers worldwide. Today, Google is one of the best known companies in the world, and is an extremely popular search engine.
From helping people find the closest coffee shop in their neighborhood to assisting them in doing research and much more, Google is constantly in use around the worldand the new infographic shows people in real time how hard the search engine is working.
The new infographic also shows how immensely popular the YouTube website is; in just a few seconds, people worldwide will have collectively watched a few thousand hours of videoor thousands of videos every second.
Buddy Loans new infographic also contains a real-time counter pertaining to Adwords, which is Googles advertising service. This feature lets a company advertise when someone searches for a service or product that the business is selling. However, if a business owner does not follow Googles rules, his or her Adwords will be pulled from the search engine. The new infographic shows people just how often this happens.
The infographic also includes a counter devoted to Chromebooks, which the company spokesperson from Buddy Loans said might just rival Apple in their popularity.
Chromebooks are a new type of computer allowing the user quick and easy access to the Internet without some of the delays and hangups of other operating systems, he noted, adding that the foundation for Chromebooks is that they are to be used primarily for the Internet.
Almost .6 Chromebooks are sold each second. Were not sure how you sell .6 of a computer each second, but they do.
Anybody who would like to learn more about Buddy Loans may visit the user-friendly website; there, they can read about the guarantor loan companys services, as well as read through the new infographic in its entirety.

The Clickorlando.com game of the week saw yours truly head to a 7A Regional Final game between the Oviedo Lions and the Tallahassee Lincoln Trojans.
Oviedo is coming off of two playoff overtime victories and were more than confident heading into tonight's match-up against perennial powerhouse Lincoln.
Lincoln came into tonight having beaten Fleming Island and Gainesville's Buchholz high in the first and second rounds of the playoffs, respectively.
As soon as I arrived on the Oviedo High School grounds, I could just feel the electricity! It was flowing throughout the whole city of Oviedo, throughout all of Central Florida!
You literally could not find a parking spot, it was such a great sight to see.
The National anthem played, and kickoff was here for this 7A regional final match-up.
Wes Allen's Oviedo squad seemed to have the upper hand emotionally and physically in the beginning of the game. Lincoln had 3 offensive plays in the first quarter.
Early in the first, Oviedo forced Lincoln into a safety to lead 2-0 lead. Oviedo then capitalized on a Lincoln turnover and junior QB Chris Davis took a QB keeper in for the score.
The Lions would be up 9-0 halfway through the first.
However, Lincoln would not stay down. On its third play from scrimmage, RB Ben Robinson took the handoff and scooted down the field for the TD. The first quarter would see Oviedo up 9-7.
Think of the second quarter as a battle of two titans and neither one would give an inch. Offensively, two scores came in this quarter, one by each team.
Lincoln went up 14-9 after an early TD from QB Cameron Joseph when he hit Taj Williams with a beautiful lob corner pass that made everyone appreciate just how talented Williams is.
Oviedo, with about a minute left to go in the second quarter, would get another spectacular TD run from QB Chris Davis to put his Lions out in front at the break, 16-14.
Lincoln received the opening second half kickoff and put together a nice drive capping of the five minute or so drive with another TD run by Robinson.
Now the Trojans were out in front early in the third, 21-16.
But those pesky Lions would not stay down. QB Chris Davis once again faked the hand-off to his running back and ba-rumbled and stumbled all the way into the Lions end zone for the touchdown.
Another score, meant another lead change.
Oviedo was now out in front 23-21 with roughly five minutes left to go in the third quarter.
A couple of strong Trojan defensive plays led to Lincoln to getting the ball back with about two minutes left to go in the third quarter.
I could come up with a cheesy cliche, but I think you already know what is around the corner, a touchdown and... a lead change.
Lincoln's QB Cameron Joseph ran a dazzling play action pass and found a wide open Myles Gaines for the touchdown.
Lincoln led 28-23 going into the fourth quarter.
Hold on to your hats, folks. Here we go.
The fourth quarter saw back and forth possessions until of course with surprisingly zero offense, that is of course until the last minute of the game.
Oviedo would punch in the pigskin for the touchdown from about the one yard line to take the lead 29-28.

COLUMBIA, SC — A truck used by two men to move furniture, boxes and assorted items from address to address is, after all, still just a truck.
Naturally, a truck-driving beauty queen such as Miss South Carolina Ali Rogers would prefer to drive the truck than ride in it. So with Rogers behind the wheel of a Two Men and a Truck vehicle, she and and Sydney Sill, Miss South Carolina Teen, arrived Saturday at Columbia's Embassy Suites for the opening of the Miss South Carolina pageant week.
"When I pull up, I can just lay on the horn," Rogers said as she applied lipstick.
"Remember to put it in park," Chaz Ellis, an executive administrator of the Miss South Carolina Organization, said.
Sill, the runner-up at last year's pageant, who took the crown after Rachel Wyatt won Miss America's Outstanding Teen, was excited about the truck ride – until she realized she had to hop out.
In heels and in front of cameras, some perhaps waiting to record a gaffe to add to the state's infamous YouTube pageant playlist.
"It's probably not going to be graceful," said Sill, who surely used her dancing agility to gracefully exit.
The introduction ceremony was moved from the State House to the lobby of the pageant's host hotel because of threatening weather. Of course, the rain that has tormented the Midlands for days yielded for the fair ladies. Rain or shine, more than one contestant would have to rush to her room to resuscitate curls pancaked by humidity.
At last year's opener, reigning crown holders Bree Boyce and Caitlen Patton arrived in the back of a moving truck. Rogers and Sill topped that.
Boyce, who lost more than 100 pounds en route to the crown, made national headlines. She finished in the top 12 at Miss America. Rogers was the runner-up.
How is the pageant going to be able to top what Rogers and Wyatt did nationally?
"We've got to take both titles next year, so our judges have their work cut out for them," Ashley Byrd, Miss South Carolina Scholarship Organization's president and executive director, joked.
The organization took over the Miss SC franchise, which had declined in popularity, in 2011. There are 102 miss and teen contestants this year, up from 88 two years ago.
South Carolina is one of the last states on the calendar to crown each year. After next Sunday's press conference, both winners will travel to Miss SC's home office in Hartsville to prepare for national competition for "probably for two weeks straight," Byrd said.
The paperwork for Miss America's Outstanding Teen pageant, which is in August, has to be turned around in 24 hours, so, yes, the teen winner will have to keep on trucking.
Ellis, the director of sales and marketing for Two Men and a Truck, a Miss SC scholarship provider, was happy to hand truck keys to Rogers.
"I think it says a lot about who she is as Miss South Carolina," said Ellis, who is working his 16th pageant. "There's not a situation that she has not acclimated herself to.
"And that is why we love her."

I write about video games: the industry and the culture.
Halo 4 is a strong game that does a good job staying true to the Halo franchise while not shrinking away from innovations – but the novelty of the series wore off a long time ago.
The first time I played Halo felt a little bit like the first time I played DOOM or the first time I played Half-Life 2. Actually, it reminds me a little bit of the first time I played Super Mario Bros.
This was something new – perhaps not revolutionary, but new enough to have me hooked. There was something about gazing up at the Halo itself, at that distant ring in the sky, that gave the game a new kind of scope and grandeur I hadn't encountered before.
Several hours deep into Halo 4 and there's no denying it's a good game, and almost certainly the best looking of the franchise (and one of the best looking games ever released on Xbox 360.)
Everything from the cut-scenes to the shooting mechanics to the voice-acting is perfectly solid. 343 Industries took the reins from Bungie and made what's shaping up to be one of the best Halo games in years.
But the thrill is gone.
Perhaps this says more about age and experience than about Halo 4; or perhaps it merely points to the perils any long-running franchise faces eventually.
Whatever the case, that sense of awe and wonder I experienced during my first time with Halo aren't coming back.
I don't think this is actually a matter of innovation vs. staying true to the game's mechanics and spirit. Some have criticized Halo 4 for not pushing the envelope while at the same time admitting that 343 Industries is in a real bind introducing anything new and potentially game-breaking.
No, it's not for lack of innovation. New weapons, new enemies – these things work well enough. The game feels overhauled in subtle ways as well; vehicles feel more maneuverable than in past titles, for instance.
What's missing is the novelty of the first game. And novelty isn't something you can program back into a franchise after so many years. The missing piece was bound to be missing and 343 Industries essentially had no way of getting it back.
Tangentially, this makes me wonder how much age and experience play a role in how reviews are not only written but received.
Take XCOM: Enemy Unknown, for instance. As someone who never played the original, I found the remake a highly addictive, extremely fun game that played just about perfectly.
But had I been a bit older, or had I happened to play the original X-COM, my opinion might have varied. What was novel and exciting would have become a deviation from the original and quite possibly not merely a disappointment but just…no big deal. Nothing new.
Very few games evoke a sense of wonder in me these days; often the ones that do are indie titles that take risks, but just as often that novelty can be little more than a thin veneer covering up a gimmick.
New isn't always better, which is why so many people tend to fall head over heels for "old-school" games. Both novelty and nostalgia can work together, and were certainly both at play when I began playing Dark Souls for the first time. Conversely, a game like Spec Ops: The Line hit me so hard because it was at once a new level of storytelling in video games and a throwback to films like Apocalypse Now and the Joseph Conrad novella, Heart of Darkness.
From what I've played of Halo 4 so far, it's a solid title with a reasonable balance between staying true to the franchise and trying new things.
But that sense of wonder is nowhere to be found.
Follow me on Twitter or Facebook. Read my Forbes blog here.
Opinions are wonderful things in free countries. you're free to believe that Forbes shouldn't post game reviews
I'm free to believe the IGNorant an their ilk are utterly useless to and contemptuous of, the audience they purport to serve.
Proof positive that the haggis shortage isn't imminent
Wow…. Halo must be serious business for you.
What the crap are you on? Erik didn't post that review, that was Paul Tassi. You need to take your inane ranting to the right person/story.
Maybe I'm naive in saying this, but main series Mario games have never lost that wonder, nor have the Zelda games for me.
There's been a lot of them, for Mario having SMB 1/2/3, SMW 12, M64, Sunshine, Galaxy 12, and for Zelda, merely the console ones, LoZ 1/2, ALTTP, OoT, MM, TP, SS.
The difference here is each added a lot of to the games and removed something each subsequent game. There's no reason a single IP needs to be as constrained as Halo sounds like it is to you.
There is one series of games that continues to impress me and that is Atlus's "Shin Megami Tensei" series. Every entry gets better and more involved whilst keeping true to it's roots. The Persona titles are especially well made. And this is a series that has been going for much longer than Halo, so it can be done, but soooooo very often publishers bank on yet "another" title in a "franchise" to bring in the bucks.
The Shin Megami series always mixes things up and rarely does more than 2 direct continuations of series to prevent stagnation.
SMT includes I-IV + Strange Journey. The franchise as a whole is just Megami Tensei, or MegaTen for short.
(Persona, Devil Summoner, Devil Survivor, DDS… all different from SMT)
But honestly, I thought P3 & P4 were meh at best… and I hate the amount of "artificial difficulty" the franchise has.
I also dislike the cashing in on P4.
Persona 4 Cashing in can be a little overwhelming, I agree. However, I disagree about Persona 3/4. The amount of Humor and the fresh setting/story was extremely welcome in the rpg genre.
Well I have only personally played Persona 4/Nocturne, both of those Shin Megami Tensei's rpg have felt extremely different to me ( in regards to modern rpgs ).
Like I said, they're different series so of course they feel different, just like MGR will feel different from MGS for example.
What really ticks me off in P4 is the ultra-weeabooish feeling, especially if you play with English voices on. And as for the plot of P4, it was just full-on Scooby-Dooish.
As a pretty big Halo fan since the original, someone who's read all the extra material from the books to the comics to the lackluster anime episodes they had made for some reason, I hope my experience is different from yours. Judging by the trailers I think it will be, it really seems like Halo 4′s going to capture that sense of mystery and wonder that was present in the first game.
But yea, the loss of childhood innocence does suck.
Hahaha… You poked the bear, that is Halo fanboys. That Matt guy is a perfect example. Although, honestly, he looks a bit to old be THAT much of a fanboy, rather sad.
Anywho, ya, I know what you are saying. When I was younger I used to love the tales of series. Well, over the past few years now, the Tales series gets harder and harder for me to relate to it in a way where I get the same amount of enjoyment as I used too, like it feels something is missing, even though I know it's not.
Some of these franchises are becoming like sports games, where even though you enjoy each iteration, the moment you realize you are playing, essentially, the same game with a different number(plus some improvements/added features) the magic is gone, forever.
On the plus side though, when that happens, you get to see games in a more objective manner, and not react like that Matt guy, because now you can see games for what they are, minus the new car smell and the nostalgia glasses.

Even if you hate it — and plenty will — you have to admit Casa de Mi Padre is a unique slice of cinema. Will Ferrell stars in this spirited parody of the Mexican telenovela. Not only is the comedy set in Mexico, but performed almost entirely in Spanish. Name one other A-lister who would dare commit to such an audience-limiting undertaking, foreign language and all. For a star of his stature to spoof something his fan base likely knows nothing about is so ballsy, it bounces.

Wichita City council members voted, 5-0, to provide notice of consideration for a redevelopment district in West Wichita, and to provide a public hearing.
Maize 54, LLC plans to create a mixed use development, at the northeast corner of Maize Road and Kellogg, within a 100 year flood plain. The project is anchored by the Bowllagio Bowling and Family Entertainment Center and contains retail, hotel, restaurants and office space.
"Staff has worked incredibly hard to ensure that this opportunity allows public improvement to go forward that we've been facing for a long time," said council member Jeff Longwell.
In Sept. 2010, the City Council established a Community Improvement District (CID) for the development project. CID projects can be funded by a special retail sales tax of up to 2% on all retail sales within the district.
Some residents and business managers were upset to hear that developers are requesting additional assistance from the City through the use of tax increment financing (TIF).
"If they think it's such a great idea to build another bowling center, then take their own money, their own capital, and invest it to make it happen, just like every other business does in the city of Wichita," said Ray Baty, general manager for West Acres Bowling Center.
In 2010, developers also requested sales tax revenue bonds (STAR) for the project but later withdrew that request.
"I don't mind it going in 'cause something's got to go in there but I do not like the city subsidizing taxes for him to compete against somebody else," said Norman Roelfs, resident across the street from proposed project.

Staff-recommended reading from the
KPL catalog.
If you're like me and you have a passing interest in applying a bit of yoga to your daily routine but haven't found the time yet to take a course from a professional trainer, let me recommend the following book, Easy Yoga: any age, any place, any time by Jude Reignier. There is very little text to read through which is nice for those of us who simply want to learn about certain stretching poses. In fact, the book is primarily composed of helpful images that relay which part of the body the pose is designed to assist. I would still like to take a course from an expert but until then, this book is a handy guide for the inquiring beginner.

Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

BELLEVILLE — The Mater Dei Knights bounced back from their first loss of the season and the loss of outside hitter Tori Johnson to place third in the Belleville East Metro Classic.
The Knights fell to Nerinx Hall 26-24, 25-19 on Saturday morning, ending their three-year run as champions of the volleyball tournament.
Cor Jesu beat Nerinx Hall 25-23, 22-25, 25-22 in the championship match.
Johnson, who has been plagued by shin splints, sat out the third-place match for the Knights (22-1).
Despite Johnson's absence, the Knights beat Parkway West 25-23, 25-21.
"We had to make some big moves and big changes in this game with Tori Johnson out,'' Mater Dei coach Chad Rakers said. "She's such a huge piece of us. I can't pat the girls on the back enough for stepping in some big roles and handling them the way they did.''
Rakers said Johnson's injury gave the Knights (22-1) no time to mourn losing their perfect record.
"As crazy as this sounds, the fact that Tori was injured helped us because we had to rally around some kids that had to play new positions,'' Rakers said. "Because we changed the offense so much, it gave us that to focus on and that to concentrate on, and we didn't have time to think about the loss.''
With Johnson out, Rakers moved Chloe Beckmann from right-side hitter to left-side hitter and he let his second setter Madison Haake hit on the right side.
"She got eight kills and had one error, so apparently I should have been doing that,'' Rakers said of Haake. "That may force a change in how we run things.''
Rakers said middle hitter Avoynna Kampwerth also has stepped up her game.
"Avoynna Kampwerth is shining,'' Rakers said. "It's her time, and she's stepping up to the plate. Her setter Lexi Kohnen and her are out there all the time, and they are just connecting like crazy.''
Kampwerth was chosen to the all-tournament team.
Cor Jesu setter Katie LaVigne was chosen as the Most Valuable Player of the tournament.
Also on the all-tournament team were: Annie Nikodem of Cor Jesu, Audrey Fischer of Nerinx Hall, Paige Perego of Parkway West, Maddie Timmermann of Central and Shelby Ridgeway of Belleville East.
The Central Cougars fell to Ursuline Academy 25-19, 25-20 in the fifth-place match.
"That's the way it has been going,'' Central coach Jim Cook said of a roller-coaster day that also saw the Cougars beat Parkway West 29-27, 26-28, 25-17 and lose to Cor Jesu 25-16, 25-20. "We keep talking about that if we make a mistake, we can't make three more. That's been going on for way too long. We have to find a way to get it corrected.''
Cook was glad to see his squad get pushed against elite competition.
"Going 3-2 and facing the competition we faced here instead of some other tournaments where we might have walked home with first place and been happy with ourselves without getting any experience, any push,'' Cook said. "This is what helps you playing in the playoffs.''
The Gibault Hawks outlasted Normal 25-19, 18-25, 25-19 in the seventh-place match, while the Belleville West Maroons fell to Quincy 25-13, 21-25, 25-21 in the ninth-place match.
"Over the last week, we've been in a little bit of a funk and we've slowly gotten it back through the tournament today,'' West coach Austin Betz said. "We played pretty well against Quincy. We've played them twice this year, and we've split with them. We beat them twice up in their tournament and they beat us today. We're starting to get a little bit of the confidence back, and we're starting to play a little bit better.''
The Althoff Crusaders beat East 25-17, 25-10 in the 11th-place match.
The Lancers ended up playing both of their city rivals, West (25-19, 25-10 loss) and Althoff, on Saturday.
"We try to spread them out so people don't get the opponents they see in the regular season,'' East coach Stacey Posey said. "We played so well last night, I felt like we were ready for any combination of matches today.''
The Lancers started the day with a 25-22, 14-25, 25-19 win over Gibault before running into West and Althoff.
"Overall, we had a good tournament,'' Posey said. "We struggled a lot today, but last night we played well and this morning we played well. Just consistent, aggressive volleyball, which is exactly where we want to be at this point of the season.''

Cellar/Tasting Notes I wasn't able taste through a full lineup of Tensley's 2012, but what I was able to taste was certainly impressive. Overflowing with fruit and texture, the 2012 Syrah Colson Canyon has a stacked mid-palate, sweet tannin and a seamless, pure feel that I suspect will be hard to resist in its..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A prodigious Cornas possessing all the pepper, smoked game, blackberry, cassis, burning ember and scorched earth characteristics one could desire. This rich, full-bodied 2009 should be a singular Cornas to drink over the next 15+ years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Hermitage is clearly the biggest, richest and most ageworthy wine of this trio. It boasts a dense purple color along with notes of creme de cassis, smoked herbs, licorice and graphite. Full-bodied with outstanding depth, purity, power and overall equilibrium as well as beautifully pure..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "One of the top wines in this portfolio is the 2009 Hermitage Marquise de la Tourette. Aged in 50% new oak, it exhibits abundant aromas of creme de cassis as well as hints of acacia flowers, crushed rocks and graphite along with massive concentration, full body, a dense style, a boatload of tannin..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This lithe, peppery red is appealing for its freshness, offering juicy plum and blackberry fruit. Finishes with a touch of dark chocolate, showing length and refinement."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "As in 2012, the 2011 Cote Rotie Cote Blonde has the most depth and class. More reserved than the La Landonne currently, it yields notions of raspberry, crushed flowers, licorice and spice to go with a full-bodied, backward and beautifully concentrated profile on the palate. Perfectly balanced,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2001 Scrio, 100% Syrah, with an expressive and expansive nose of blackberry fruit, cured meat, mint, and vanilla, is equally important on the palate, round and concentrated and with a warm, dense, and substantial finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Flirting with perfection, the 2011 Ermitage Le Pavillon is the most remarkable of these four cuvees. Intense blackberry liqueur notes intermixed with notions of creme de cassis, charcoal, licorice and black truffles are followed by a monumentally sized wine with colossal concentration. It is..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dense ruby/purple-tinged 2007 Cote Rotie La Mouline will be bottled around the time this report is released. A superb effort made in the style of the 1991 (which is drinking beautifully at age 20), the 2007 displays silky, velvety tannins, a seamless integration of acidity, alcohol and tannin,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Between 900 and 1,000 cases are normally made of the luxury cuvee, the Hermitage Les Bessards. An astonishing wine for the vintage, the 2011 is a candidate for the wine of the year in the entire Rhone Valley. Its black/purple color is accompanied by copious aromas of pen ink, licorice,..

The Greenville City Council intends Tuesday to call for May 11 elections to fill two Council seats and to decide how voters feel about more than two dozen proposed changes to the City Charter.
But the Council may decide to wait until the last minute before calling for an election to determine the fate of tens of millions of dollars in bonds for road improvements and a new YMCA/event center project.
The Council is scheduled to consider all of the items as part of Tuesday's regular session, starting at 6 p.m. in the Municipal Building, 2821 Washington Street. A work session is also set for 5 p.m. Tuesday.
The Council has also scheduled a special session, just to consider calling for the bond election, at noon Friday, if it is needed following Tuesday's meeting. Friday is the last date the Council can call for an election to be conducted May 11.
The Council is expected Tuesday to call for the municipal election, which will decide who gets to sit in Places 1 and 2 on the Council. As part of the same vote, the Council is to call for a Charter amendment election, which would include 29 propositions to change the document which regulates how the City of Greenville operates.
Among the proposed changes is the addition of a new section, "General Definitions" to the Charter, which would specify that in terms of voting, a majority of the Council would be four out of the seven members, a "simple majority" would mean one more than half of the Council members present during a meeting and a "super majority" would be five of seven Council members.
Under the proposed Charter, it would take a majority vote of the Council to remove the City Manager, City Secretary, City Attorney or Municipal Judge.
The Citizens Charter Review Committee also recommended specifying that the City Attorney does not serve as the attorney of record for the Board of Development or GEUS, that each year's budget can be passed by a simple majority vote, extending the period under which citizens can file for a referendum vote from 30 days to six months after the passage of an ordinance and allowing members of the GEUS board to live outside of the city limits of Greenville.
The Council is considering adding an item to the May 11 municipal election ballot, asking for voter approval of almost $30 million in bonds to pay for 11 streets which city engineers believe need to be reconstructed, and two more which they feel should be built to help relieve mounting traffic problems.
The Council may also include an estimated $15 million bond proposal for a new YMCA and event center on the same ballot.

Bills receivers Donald Jones and Marcus Easley displayed good hands throughout Friday's final organized team activity workout.
Jones opened the practice by getting a step on Leodis McKelvin and catching a long-bomb from Ryan Fitzpatrick on the first play of 11-on-11 work. Fitzpatrick went deep again on the second play, but rookie T.J. Graham couldn't hang onto a pretty well-thrown ball. In goal-line work, Jones had a nice catch along the side of the end zone and then showed strong hands with a TD catch over the middle. Jones had another strong catch over the middle in the second 11-on-11 session. Then he made a fine catch at the right side of the end zone on a good Fitzpatrick throw but was pushed out of bounds by cornerback Prince Miller. Strength coach Eric Ciano, standing nearby along the sideline, made the correct call that Jones was out of bounds, much to the chagrin of the offensive players. Running back Fred Jackson promptly ran over and kicked grass up on Ciano's feet, like an enraged baseball manager.
Easley showed consistent hands all practice. His best catch was downfield along the right sideline on a throw from Vince Young, who had to release the ball a bit early. Easley won a jump ball against safety Da'Norris Searcy for a 25-yard gain. Later on, Tyler Thigpen made a pretty throw deep down the right sideline and Easley made a good catch while staying in bounds for a score.
The Bills' starting offensive line had Kraig Urbik at center, with Andy Levitre and Chad Rinehart at guards and Cordy Glenn and Chris Hairston at tackles. Glenn did a good job using his size to push a fast on-rushing Mark Anderson wide on an early pass play. (Fitzpatrick was forced to pressure due to pressure from the other side.) Chris Kelsay and Shawne Merriman were in the QB's face in the backfield a couple of times. Later on in goal-line work, Anderson burst into the backfield and knocked the ball out of Fitzpatrick's hands before he even finished his wind up. Mario Williams recovered the fumble, but the coaches ruled it an incompletion for practice purposes. Young got more of the repetitions at No. 2 QB but Thigpen got some. Receiver David Clowney made a nice catch at the side of the end zone on a sharp throw from Thigpen on a third-and-goal play. ... Meanwhile, Brian Moorman had an exceptionally good day punting the ball during the special-teams segment.
The only player absent from the voluntary workout was Marcell Dareus, who had a personal commitment, according to coach Chan Gailey.

Hollis man charged with stealing identity of soldier
Alberto Albearta-Gonzalez, 34, of 201 Silver Lake Road was arrested Thursday on one count of identity fraud.
Police opened an investigation Tuesday after they received a report from the Fort Riley, Kansas soldier. He told police someone in Hollis had used his name and Social Security number, allowing him to work and obtain credit.
Officer David Turgeon determined a man living in Hollis was using the soldier's name, had obtained a New Hampshire driver's license and had registered several vehicles.
About 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Turgeon stopped a 2002 Volkswagen Jetta, that was registered in the soldier's name, on Proctor Hill Road.
Police said the driver, Sabino Olguin Martinez, 45, also of 201 Silver Lake Road, was arrested because he did not have a valid driver's license. He was charged with operating a motor vehicle without a license and released on $500 personal recognizance bail.
Albearta-Gonzalez was arrested Thursday morning for identity fraud when he arrived at the police station to reclaim the Jetta.
Police said Albearta-Gonzalez, using the soldier's personal information, obtained numerous identity documents in his name, obtained lines of credit and created issues with the IRS by using the soldier's Social Security number.
He is being held without bail, based on a detainer issued by the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He was arraigned Friday in 9th Circuit Court, Nashua District Division.
Olguin Martinez is to be arraigned April 17.

"Grasping at Straws"
It was time for grasping at straws this a.m. on the "Sports Animal."
Out of that, maybe the designers of future University of Tennessee media guides should list the time of kickoff and where the team stayed the night before in their season-by-season summaries.
There was concern expressed by at least two of the hosts that Tennessee stayed too far away from Athens and the bus trip to Sanford Stadium, combined with the other pre-game "stuff," was too wearing on the team.
Could the team not stay in Athens? one host asked. After all, the volleyball and basketball teams have done so.
They tried that in 1988, at the beautiful Ramada Inn in downtown Athens, but never came back when they returned for the 1992 game. From that point on, the team hotel was somewhere in Gwinnett County, which necessitated a bus ride to the stadium of some undetermined length.
That was in line with staying in Columbus or LaGrange, Ga., for the Auburn game, in Columbus or Tupelo for the Mississippi State game, in Springdale at Arkansas, or in Memphis for an Ole Miss game at Oxford. There were even times the Vols stayed in Birmingham for games at Tuscaloosa and in Ocala for games at Gainesville.
When the games were in more sophisticated venues, such as Baton Rouge, Nashville, or Lexington, the hotel was within the corporate limits of each venue.
Vol players have occasionally referenced an early starting time in their post-game comments, Tee Martin doing so after the 1999 Arkansas game, which started at 11:30 a.m. CST, and Rashad Moore doing so likewise at Kentucky in 2001, another 12:30 or so kickoff. The Vols lost the 1999 Arkansas game and had to come back from a large deficit (21-0 in the second quarter and 28-21 in the fourth quarter) to win at Kentucky in 2001.
Does the starting time for the games "matter"? Starting times are all over the place these days.
Look at it this way.
There's a way to avoid the dreaded 12:21 kickoff.
P.S. Can't wait to hear the comments on the "Paul Finebaum Show" this afternoon. Should be fun.

Given the already soul-baring source material—Is it OK to be in love with something dead?/ What happens to us if we accept that I'm unfixable?—maybe it's not surprising How to Dress Well's brand of unvarnished pleading is super affecting here, covering Elite Gymnastics' hugely depressing Ruin standout (j/k, they're all standouts) "Here, in Heaven." On the second half of that album, available now via Acéphale, Elite Gymnastics already essentially covered themselves, but HTDW's man-and-organ third version doesn't crowd the track. Instead it's liberating, and in the clarity of its delivery, a real tribute to the songwriting Elite Gymnastics' production sometimes obscures. And this is how I hurt you: by trying so hard not to/ Can't you see I love you? Please let that be enough. An entire free EP of Elite Gymnastics covers comes out in November, with contributions from CFCF, Physical Therapy and more.

OTTUMWA - The working hypothesis: someone purposely cut the cable supplying Internet access to a portion of southeast Iowa on Saturday.
Mediacom spokesperson Phyllis Peters said their operations center became aware of an outage around 4:30 a.m. on Saturday. An investigation by technicians found damage between Knoxville and Indianola.
"We don't have fiber optic cable there," Peters said. "We lease the cable from a third-party provider, a traditional phone service provider."
Which means Mediacom personnel couldn't start tugging on wires without permission from the phone business, which had recently relocated their HQ from Iowa to Arkansas.
The outage affected Ottumwa, as well as parts of Knoxville, Eddyville and Fairfield.
"The fiber was cut at 4:37 a.m., and cut pretty bad," Peters told the Courier.
Internet users began complaining of an outage by using Mediacom's official forum around 7:30 a.m. Saturday. Moderators for the company said they were aware of the situation but had no estimate for a time that service would be restored.
That changed throughout the day.
"The good news," said Peters around 5:30 p.m. Saturday, "is they thought they could have it done pretty quickly."
At 6 p.m., Mediacom high speed Internet was online in Ottumwa.
Still, she said, her company has been putting redundancies into place so if there is a power outage or other event in a local area where a signal originates, a whole region won't suffer an outage. A cut fiber, however, is another weakness that company engineers will work to address to avoid having such problems in the future.
"This vandalism was underground ... by someone digging," Peters reported. "In a way, the crew thinks, the vandals were 'digging for gold.' The hypothesis is that they were looking for copper wire."
Thieves steal copper tubing, wires, even grave markers for veterans, then sell them to be melted down for scrap prices. Utility companies are encouraging law enforcement to aggressively pursue those found destroying such property. Peters is hopeful that will be done in this case, regardless of the fact that the alleged thieves now realize the cable they have stolen is worthless to them.

Let's get real for a moment. Bad things happen to all of us. The people and pets we love get sick and sometimes die. We fight
with the people we care most about. And unexpected emergencies occur, which can cause a whole heap of money troubles. Yet,
you need to learn to cope with these challenges and work effectively, despite the curve balls life throws your way.
You may have heard that it's not professional to bring your personal problems to work, and there's some truth to this. You
don't need to share every little bit of your personal drama. But there may be times when you find your back against the wall,
and the need to share and seek support is too great to ignore. Here's a look at strategies that keep your team informed—and
disruption to a minimum.
And you may need to come clean with your co-workers, too. If others are noticing that you seem off in some way (and especially
if they're making comments to you or other co-workers) it's probably a good idea to fess up. Or maybe you just need a little
more support. That's a fine reason, too, to let others in on your secret.
Responsible communication might sound something like this:
"Dr. Wells, you may have noticed that my work performance has been off this past week."
"Jerry and I have been having some money problems. I'm afraid we haven't been responsible with our credit cards, and our balances
have mounted up. We're not seeing eye-to-eye about this and it's putting a real strain on our relationship. I thought I could
deal with the problem myself and that it would blow over, but since it hasn't, I wanted to let you know."
"I see. Is there anything that I can do to help?"

— Remember the 1990s?
Those were heady, high-flying financial times, with the tech stocks booming on Wall Street.
Portfolio values were on a seemingly endless upward path.
Serious people (at least in some eyes) were talking about the end of the business cycle with its inevitable ups and downs.
Growth, we were told, was destined to be permanent.
It was the time to sweep out the old and bring in the new. That dusty old fogey, Warren Buffett, was being dismissed as a financial has-been. His corporation, Berkshire Hathaway, refused to invest in tech companies, because Buffett had the audacity to say he didn't understand what they did or how they made money.
How quaint. And how accurate.
When the dot-com bubble burst, Buffett was standing tall, while many of those Internet companies collapsed and vanished.
Why? Because the business cycle hadn't gone away, it was just waiting to re-establish itself. The excess and greed of the era meant many investors were operating with blinders. They ignored the reality that Buffett easily understood: Even the most modern of corporations have to make a buck in order to survive.
When the bottom fell out of the tech market, hard lessons were learned. People investing in these companies demanded results — profits and real growth. That's the way it's supposed to work.
But then came Facebook. Here was an Internet behemoth with literally hundreds of millions of customers creating billions of hits on its website. How could it not make money for investors?
Well, here's how:
Last week Facebook released its first quarterly earnings report as a publicly owned company. While the report met Wall Street estimates with a 32 percent increase in revenue, that figure represented a slide in growth of 45 percent from the prior quarter.
Meanwhile, as Facebook invests in ways to generate revenue, its costs in the latest quarter rose 295 percent.
No matter how you slice it, those aren't encouraging numbers. And the stock was hammered as a result, hitting a new low on Friday. The stock price dipped below $27 per share, well below its initial public offering high of more than $38 per share.
These figures do not indicate Facebook is on the verge of collapse. But for prudent investors, they are a warning. And the generally downward trend of Facebook's stock since it first went public in May suggests buyers were attracted to the glamour of the company, rather than the bottom line.
A big problem with Facebook is its size. With so many users already in place, what is the company's real growth potential?
And it's worth noting all those users pay nothing to be Facebook members. Money is made only when businesses agree to post ads on the site, hoping to attract attention from Facebook's massive membership.
But some companies question whether ads on Facebook really pay off, while some users worry about privacy and related concerns that occasionally crop up regarding the website.
Yet Facebook does have the potential to reverse its fiscal course. Its base of users represents a lucrative potential market — if truly effective ways can be found to tap into it.
On the other hand, the basic nature of modern technology poses a constant threat to high-tech firms such as Facebook. There was a time when a company called MySpace was the hot spot for social networking. Is there something out there poised to replace Facebook?
Personally, I'm inclined to follow Warren Buffett's lead on such matters.

"Great alternative to blinds"
By is from Sf
I use these shades in remodels and they are great! Unlike Venetian blinds, they are attractive, don't tangle, don't break easily, and are easy to clean. They don't collect dust bc they don't have horizontal surfaces.View this product
"Great value for money!"
By amberdana from Becker MN
I spent a lot of time shopping for custom drapes for my two big picture windows; it was impossible to find off the rack drapes wide enough, and custom drapes through Costco's partner company were insanely expensive. I am so happy I found Blindsgalore--the employees I telephoned and emailed were so professional, and I am so happy with how great my drapes look!View this product

Apple updates Apple TV software to version 4.4.1, claims to fix connect to iTunes issues
Apple has released another update for the Apple TV which takes it from version 4.4 to version 4.4.1. The update claims to fix issues with a small number of Apple TV units that needed to be connected a computer running iTunes after last week'siOS 5 update.
Addresses an issue that required a small number of Apple TV units to be connected to iTunes in order to complete the update.
A word of warning before you update, there are widespread reports that this update is causing more connect to iTunes issues than the original update. It may be wise to hold off updating until more information is available.
UPDATE: Rene's Apple TV, which he didn't try to update until last night, ran both 4.4 and then 4.4.1 without success, still resulting in the image you see up top. He's trying again and we'll keep you posted.
Source: Apple Support
There are 7 comments. Add yours.
FWIW, the 4.4.1 update applied for me on the first try without a hitch.
Mine says it's on version 4.3 and is up todate?!
can somebody tell me how can i update my apple tv? it keeps showing up that big iTunes logo
Bought mine yesterday it had 4.4 on it and updated last night without a hitch..
I was at 4.4.
It wanted to update this morning.
First time failed.
Second time after update and loosing all settings it still seemed to be on 4.4
Third time it made it to 4.4.2 with settings intact.
Hello there, simply become aware of your blog via Google, and located that it's really informative. I am going to be careful for brussels. I will be grateful if you happen to proceed this in future. Many other folks will probably be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!
I delight in, lead to I found exactly what I was having a look for. You have ended my 4 day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a great day. Bye

---- — SALEM — Police say a motorist who was upset that a trash truck was blocking Balcomb Street yesterday morning went to pass the vehicle on the right and struck one of the workers in the process.
Police received an 8:02 a.m. report of the road-rage incident and responded to 50 Balcomb St., where they determined that a man driving a Ford Explorer had first backed into the trash truck, then sped past the vehicle on the right, striking the arm of a trash worker who was on foot, Lt. Scott Englehardt said.
The driver then fled the scene.
The worker was not hospitalized.
Police were seeking a warrant for the driver of the vehicle on charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, leaving the scene of a property damage accident, and leaving the scene of a personal injury accident, according to the incident log.

Florida State Prepares for Trip to Charlottesville
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- No. 3 Florida State (7-0) continued preparation for their ACC match-up against Virginia (4-2) at Ed Williamson practice fields this afternoon. The squad practiced in shells (shorts, shoulder pads and helmet) for 21 periods.
"It seems like we are better off injury-wise than we have been in a while," said head coach Bobby Bowden. "Other than a few bruises, we are in good shape."
The Seminoles held 11-on-11 scrimmaging during the middle portion of today's session. The two big plays were turned in by a pair of freshmen. Tailback Travis Minor broke a long scoring run against the No. 2 defense while cornerback Tay Cody intercepted a pass as the No. 1 defense did not give up a first down. Minor will make his first career start this Saturday against Virginia.
"Minor looked good today," said Bowden. "I think those running backs are getting better and better. We would have liked to have started him at home, but the way he played Saturday, he has earned it."
Florida State will face a Virginia defense that ranks 14th overall in the country.
"They used a three-man rush in 1995 and have done that some this year," said Bowden. "They do a great job of scheming against your offense. We'll work hard this week on running against that."
Saturday's game in Charlottesville is scheduled for a 7:00 p.m. kick-off and will be televised nationally by ESPN.
Injury Report: WR Tres Walton and OL Eric Thomas were held out due to illness.
In other football news, sophomore Peter Warrick was named one of ten Biletnikoff Award semi-finalists by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club. Warrick leads the ACC in receiving yards and ranks 13th in the country with 101 yards per game. The list will be narrowed to three in early November with the winner announced in December on the ESPN College Football Awards Show in Orlando, FL.
