Google working on Android-powered TV platform?
The new platform is being dubbed Google TV and would be available as a set-top box or as part of a Web-capable television. The company is expected to release a developer tool kit in a few months, hoping to encourage people to create apps for Google TV with the same enthusiasm they have been creating Android smartphone apps.
Until this day TVs remain one of the most relevant screens in people's lives. After years of failed attempts to bring web content to the living room, there are now several decent solutions for streaming online videos, rent premium content and browse the web from your couch. However, nobody's really figured out how to build something that's successful enough to be declared the preferred living room device. While Google no doubt sees this as a great opportunity to sell more ads, it remains to be seen what they can bring to the market that hasn't been done already.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
Hmm they want to monopolize our living rooms now
On a more serious note; I don't think its practically viable except for very very casual browsing etc. also there is a chance of huge fight about who want to see what / or do what. So I'd rather stick with pc or my notebook and let tv what it is always supposed to do, period.
Google is everywhere.. Arent they also working on an operating system for desktops? I was really excited about that.
Agreed, also who will be responsible to keep the browser updated google or the manufacturer?
What happens when Google or the Manufacturer no longer supports the embedded browser?
Will people be stuck with a custom TV distro that is no longer updated? Thus running old, outdated, and potential security issue browser? BeholdenToAptGods(TM)
If this is an atom-based MB on the TV, can you put a different OS on it?
Questions indeed.
Google is becoming too BIG in my opinion it really is as time passes its just going to expand and expand, they getting too much into my life, everyone' life but despite all that I'm interested in seeing how this unravels. This sounds like a good idea I mean I think Google knows what they're doing this is what the future holds.
Exactly what would be gained from this? getting me more addicted to the web?
I have my computer hooked up to my tv. Why do I need a new box of some sort to do what I already do? Unless this box torrents movies, then organizes them for me, as well as automatically finds tv shows that are streaming in HD all over the web, then it's nearly useless to me. I already have a computer. I get all of my content myself. I watch my media on my TV as is. How is google going to improve on this formula?
The thing that I want to do, is set up a dual monitor / tv set up. I want to have TV on one monitor, and my computer on the other, but have the ability to use both monitors for my computer when I want. That way I can have my TV going watching the hockey game, whilst I'm dicking around on the internet. Eventually, I'd like to get three monitors going, but that's a whole other story.
So, put up or shut up Google. If you're going to make a set top box, it better be goddam awesome. Or maybe I'm dead wrong and the set top box will be designed for the average Joe that couldn't figure out how to make their vcr stop blinking 12:00. Maybe for Joe something like this will be usefull.
My Sony LCD has Yahoo-based gadgets built in. Painfully slow, but allows me to check weather forecast. I haven't found better uses for it yet - I don't use Flicker and Youtube is painfully cumbersome.
Always wanted TV via the internet. Thought it could be interesting. If google's behind it, got a great chance of success. But anybody get the feeling there's too much big brother recently.
The future will take care of itself as it has always done so good on organisations like 'Google' who are not sitting on their hands but trying to work out where we all are heading.
While I'm happy that a big company like Google is doing internet TV I highly doubt phone & cable companies will just sit idly by and watch Google take over there monopolies. This however could be a great thing for the industry in general with Google leading the way. A big name like Google should drum up more interest, and having a juggernaut like Google take on the other juggernauts can't hurt.
But I am curious as to how they will address customer service, they definitely can't act like they did with the Nexus. With them entering more into consumer markets and trying to have a stake in everything customers will expect a higher level of service that Google currently does not provide. I'm wondering as well if they will be monitoring everything you watch and then use it for advertisement purposes as they have a tendency to have some odd ideas about privacy.
But for the moment I'm on the fence about if I will use their service as I already use plenty. Hopefully more information will come out and we'll see what they offer .
I can already view tv channels off my computer with a hd tv tuner, why would I need to run a limited computer off my tv/phone.
go google, i cant wait to see some type of demo unit on the web some where...
Good luck google, heard you aren't doing so good with the Nexus One, hope you do your research first before taking your product to a market that already has something similar and are not willing to change.
It will be like in Batman Forever when the Ridder controls the TV, expect it will be the Google CEO's controlling all of us with there Google EVERYTHING.

Ah Jim Carry...lol. That was an enjoyable "bad" movie .
I am getting a bit of overload with all the different platforms that could be developed for. I think that is going to be one of the difficult issues with Android and all the different sets of hardware that it is being run on. Not much use to me though unless more tv content continues to be free online (which is under attack).
hey thats a great news!
the guys at google are very innovative! i loved the concept!
it will also make the android platform more famous!
great work!
Google will become self aware.

The Barbarians donned them as they waged war. Shakespeare sported a pair while writing his plays. Robin Hood was said to have been a fan. Of course, its name back then didn't roll as easily off the tongue.
Emergency crews descended on a Terwillegar neighbourhood Thursday evening, after a pack of nine coyotes went after a woman and her three dogs walking on a trail in the river valley. One dog was injured by the coyotes, and was taken for emergency veterinary care.
The Edmonton Police Service says it turned down an offer from Calgary police to join Premier Alison Redford's security detail — and that the force has "full confidence" in Alberta sheriffs tasked with the job. Since early 2013, Redford has employed a team of Calgary Police Service officers in addition to Alberta sheriffs, to provide security to her and her family when she is in the city and the surrounding area.

Its goal relative to the association and trade show world is simple. "We want to own it," says Peggy Lee, CEO and founder of Westport, Conn.-based b-there.com (www.b-there.com), an Internet-based housing, registration, and travel provider.
Lee has announced an alliance with Arlington, Va.-based PGI Inc., an exhibition and destination management agency; and a preferred vendor agreement with iConvention.com, a Citrus Heights, Calif.-based virtual trade show provider.
B-there.com also signed an agreement with Dallas-based Pegasus Solutions Inc., tapping into the Pegasus switching system, which can connect meeting planners to the approximately 32,000 hotels and CVBs worldwide that use the Pegasus engine for processing electronic reservations.
Lee spun b-there.com off from her other company, Lee Travel Group, which has a large meeting planning department. The Internet tool is attendee-centric and integrates event registration, housing reservations, and travel. It can be managed by the planner and, Lee says, competes directly with Passkey.com, a Quincy, Mass.-based Internet housing provider.
"We know that 70 percent of attendees do something leisure-related such as restaurants, entertainment, and recreational events," she says, "We can do all that and the planner can still use all the data. It just takes the attendee management part off their hands."
B-there.com sets up a revenue sharing model with the association for any retail purchase made by the attendee through b-there's engine. The company makes its money through a transaction-based model: $5 per housing transaction and $3 for other attendee transactions.

Samsara Shine Perfume
By Guerlain for Women
Samsara Shine Perfume by Guerlain, Guerlain composed samsara shine by drawing from the symbolic richness of samsara, which was created in 1989, and takes the brand into a new world . Samsara's codes are reinterpreted under the signs of brightness and lightness. The notes are sparklier and fresher, giving the juice a touch of exciting youthfulness. This fruity floral is built with a play on contrasts: fresh green citrus top note, a sweet floral heart note of red berries, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and ... Read More

Comments about Samsara Shine By Guerlain:
I remember liking the original Samsara back in the 1980's. I don't know what has happened in the reformulation but this so-called lighter version is stronger and more offensive than the current reformulation of the original Samsara. I normally like orientals, but this is a definite "no" for me.

[JURIST] UN General Assembly President Jan Eliasson [official profile] on Thursday unveiled a draft proposal for a new United Nations human rights body that would replace the highly criticized Commission on Human Rights [UN backgrounder]. The blueprint [PDF text] describes a 47-member Human Rights Council whose membership would be open to all UN member states. States would be elected to the Council by a majority of members of the General Assembly [official website], not two-thirds, as some countries had pushed for. Eliasson also spelled out several ways the proposed Council would differ from the current Commission, including:
the new Human Rights Council would be a subsidiary body of the General Assembly and therefore have a higher institutional standing; ...the universal periodic review would be a mechanism where the fulfillment by each State of its human rights obligations would be assessed;the distribution of seats would be in accordance with equitable geographical distribution;members of the Council would not be eligible for immediate re-election after two consecutive terms;while membership of the Human Rights Council would be open to all Member States, there would be legitimate expectations on members. Asserting its standing and authority, the General Assembly would have the ability to suspend a Council member which commits gross and systematic violations of human rights;and lastly, the Human Rights Council would meet regularly throughout the year.

It sounds like you may be having some battery issues, ideally we need a bit more information though...
does the car just struggle to turn over now and then its fine, or are you saying that the ignition wont start at all?

Posted 20 January 2013 - 04:23 PM
If your turning the key and its just dead, that most the time is battery, it could be fully charged but if the voltage isnt there... (I had this only a few days ago, battery was 99% charged, but the cold meant that it wasnt putting enough juice out there).
When you turn the key, does the trip computer start and the radio as it would normally?
I would be tempted to suggest the fuel filter may well need to be considered, if the fuel filter is clogged, then the fuel wont get to the engine, but that should still allow the car to attempt a turn over...

vibe: 4.5 | quality: 1.25 | service: 4 | selection: 3 | food: 3.75 | $$
Atmosphere - this is a well done brewpub (in design). The downstairs has a bar, and tables for dining. Upstairs there is a second bar and a huge row of full sized pool tables.
Quality - Unfortunately, the beer here is well below average and inconsistent. There are times where the carb levels are way off, a lot of beers are coyingly sweet, the IPA is pretty boring when it is carbed. A lot of my friends and I like to go there, but will often order wine or from the bottle selection of Green Flash.
Service - bartenders and servers are always great. The bartenders aren't bashful either. I remember once I ordered a seasonal scotch ale or something of that style, and the bartender said, let me get you a sample, you won't like it. He was right and I than got something else.
Selection - they do brew a decent selection. There's a lighter beer, than a sweeter vanilla cream ale, a red, a stout, and often seasonal selections.
Food - the food is pretty good. I've had a steak there, and a pulled pork sandwich. The pulled pork was really good. I've never been disappointed with the food.
Value - overall, beers are priced reasonably, food is what you'd expect, from sandwiches to pastas etc. The quality of the beers certainly detracts from the perceived value, however.

Stopped here on a Saturday afternoon... beers were standard fare, nothing that pushed the envelope. It was a nice location and the atmosphere/ servers where nice. Not a good sign when I strike up a consersation with someone about microbreweries and they start talking immediately about Boulevard. Worth a stop but there is a better option in town.

Tuesday August 28, 3:45-4:30pm
Considering I was staying next door at the Hotel Des Moines, there wasn't a closer or easier to find beer locale. I entered through a pair of sturdy wooden doors to find an eerily quiet (few patrons this early on a Tuesday afternoon - just before 4pm), but cheery enough space. The tall ceilings (partially divided into two floors), wood trim and grey/white tile patterns give away the buildings age; a sturdy bar with chipping lacquer looks a bit 'tired'...er, 'loved'.
The stop on this day was strictly for beer; the mid-90s Iowan heat after a long flight from Portland and a brief business meeting made RRBC an easy pick. I sat alone at the bar, tended by a friendly young woman (missed her name) who gladly offered samples (free) of their three IPAs: Bandit, Midnight Bandit and El Bandito Loco. I tasted diacetyl in both the Bandit and Bandito Loco, so I chose the Midnight Bandit (normally don't like 'Black IPA' much, but this was pretty good to me). A few minutes later, my co-worker arrived and asked for tastes of the pilsner, wheat and red (which she chose for being 'smooth').
Overall, there were 9 beers on draft, all pretty standard styles. I noticed a few bottles in an under-counter cooler, all 'macro' lagers for the unadventurous.
I wasn't overly impressed with any of the beers, but appreciated the generosity with tastes and the $7.25 tab for two pints (we tipped well). Not a 'must', but a possible pit stop if I'm ever back in DSM.
A side note: we skipped food, but were told by a couple different people (not affiliated with the brewery) that the quality of food was greatly improved in recent months

Located downtown and for whatever reason a very dark place. I agree with some other reviews. This is a food place first and a beer place second.
The IPA and DIPA were okay..a bit too sweet and catty for my likes...but a typical midwest IPA.
There seemed to be a lot of locals that really liked the place. I was there by myself, and was dissapointed by the 2 small tv's.
However, this is a food place and not a place that highlights their beer. I would reccomend the ramen soup, which was WONDERFUL! If you are in town for a night I would go other places. However, it is certainly worth a try and a freindly place.

I was in town on business and got to spend a Thursday night touring the three brewpubs that have creative license to brew beers on site.
Ranked by quality of beer, they are - Court Avenue, Rock Bottom, and Raccoon River.
Raccoon River was my second stop. Urban Spoon gave them and Court an 85% like it for food so I decided to eat at my second stop - Racoon River.
Racoon River is more of a good restaurant that happens to brew beer as opposed to a brewpub that focuses on beer.
The bartender gives samples when people ask questions about the beer.
I had an IPA and he gave me a sample of the double IPA (El Bandit). They also had a light, vanilla cream, red, stout, pils, and pumpkin.
The IPA was mellow and sweet with not much hop aroma. While drinkable, I left half a pint.
The double IPA was a mouthfull of sweetness.
The food was very good. I had an appetizer of the seared ahi tuna and the greek salad. The greek salad was probably the best greek salad I've had in Greece or the USA.

Went in expecting this to be my favorite brewery on my trip to Iowa, left horribly disappointed! The food was very good, I got a bacon ranch cheeseburger that was huge and tasty, but everything else about the restaurant was terrible. The beer was awful, far, far, far too flat for me to enjoy - even the light beer tasted like syrup almost. Our server knew next to nothing about the beer, I asked what style the el bandito loco was and the women looked at me and said it was simply an "ale". When I pressed further she mumbled something about Imperial IPAs, walked away awkwardly and then came back and told me the beer was an english bitter. I then tasted the beer and realized that it was definitely an IPA. Suffice to say, she didn't receive the best tip. The service was poor, the atmosphere was average, the beer sucked, I won't be returning.

This a great value! The selection was enough to satisfy me with a puzzling choice because I could not try them all!
The service was great! Joe directed me on making what I thought to be superior choices.
The food was outstanding! What I ordered, the chicken wings with sauce on the side, is pretty standard bar room fare. I order them cooked crisp & that is exactly what they delivered.
Things were never bad from the last review submitted, they only got better.
They have a very supportive & friendly clientele. One jovial customer, identified my traveling experience and suggested another establishment 120 miles west of Des Moines in Omaha, Nebraska. He clearly knows his beers & makes the very best recommendations. I may never see him again, but I will always remember. I left a very satisfied customer.
Be aware, as explained to me, Iowa law prevents the brewer from refilling growlers & directly returning it to the customer. The refilled growler must be sent to the distributor where it must remain for 24 hours. Then the distributor must return the growler to the brewer 24 hours later who can then sell it filled back to the customer. Extra handling, transportation & cost! If you are traveling, send your growler ahead & trust they have what you like on hand.
It sounds to me like the distributor wants a percentage of every beer sale & fears growler sales will hurt their profits! It is the three tiered system, brewery, distributor, reseller. The proverbial "middle man" wants his cut of the action!

Yes, Desfucking Moines, and it was all Witzel's idea. I wanted to spend the entire time in Minneapolis but you just can't tell him shit when he gets something into his head (Yeah, that's what I need for vacation, hours and hours and hours in the car, right). He totally had that look of crazy to him, too. And had I not commandeered the rental Sunday morning, he would have had us in like Omaha or somewhere. Seriously, he is a bad man...
On the corner, in and then through a gaggle of uniformed soccer kids or something (go away!) Cavernous, split level place with lots of space. Stairs to up wrapped around the glass front brewroom to the left, and the bar to the right corner in; a darkish stained wood half a hex beaten and worn some; with a lip & foot rail, and lined with spotty bar candles. Seating for 9 and towers of 8 a piece on both ends. Barback is a wood unit, uprights with glass shelves of booze & glassware, and a light wood backing with spots illuminated. Alternating growlers & malt filled quart jars lining the top, and wines on their sides and coolered bottled macros below. Hanging sampler paddles on one end and flat screens above in the corners, one more behind me, and I know there are others. Drop cone colored lamps over the bar and tracks too.
Honeycomb tile floorings, and brick & large paneled windows up front. We are mocking the Grace Perm-A-Barrier near wall, meaning that the whole side of the place looks like it's under the construction that it is. Light art work, plants & vintage local auto shop signage riddled about, and a vertical slat wood board mounted displaying tap selections. A huddle of drop mini light sabers at different heights over the reception area, some large ball of yarn lamps up front and track spots, spinny fans & exposed ducts.
A ½ dozen+ mixed booths, tables & hightops forward the bar area and a dozen square tables up front to the left in an open area off the entrance. Straight back through under the over, a ½ dozen tables on the floor to the rear alongside 6 adjacent booths slightly raised, a large seating area to one side holding 18 tables and The River Room banquet space off to the other. Carpeted there, the walls wood slatted, large pillars lining, and a massive mural to the rear.
Upstairs, a 7 seat straight wood bar with angled mirrored piece over tiered booze. Nearly a dozen and a half raised & low square tables across the bridge as it is, and a pair of long bar counter tables, too. Good views out over everything from uppa there. Through to a long narrow lounge area with 5 billiards tables running to the rear.
Sampler gives you 5 house beers (Tallgrass Light, it's all corned up, next; Vanilla Cream Ale, to its credit, you can't smell it from afar and it's not over the top or offensively vanilla's ass, it's really a decent light Summer Ale; Homestead Red, some nice malty sweetness; Bandit IPA, a solid session IPA, Centennial & Cascade; Stonecutter Stout, licorice! It's just liquid good & plenty, I do like), and 3 seasonals (Octoberfest Lager, a good malty sweet Octo; Zustandfest Pils, a crisp clean Bohemian Pils; El Bandito Loco, a double hopped IPA, pleasant enough). The Bandit IPA, Stonecutter Stout, Octoberfest Lager and Zustandfest Pils were the best. Also 20 wines and a dozen decent random bottles micro & import that they're into just now.
Sooo, what's the soup? Cream of chicken & wild rice, yes, a bowl please, and the grilled chicken sandwich with bacon, I'll take the lettuce, tomato, onion & mustard, hold the cheese please, and a salad for the side with spicy Thai. The sandwich was damn good in a "it's hard to screw it up" kind of way. Witzel had the make your own burger which someone else did for him. "Lovely", he said, "cooked medium rare as requested, and juicy".
Long damn day doubtfully done. It was pretty late in the evening when we rolled in, so we caught a light but decent crowd and good tunes. It's chill, yo. Servicewise barside, Emilie was just excellent; she's lovely, we do like her. Fine foodings and they make pretty good beer here, too.

I stopped here for Saturday lunch while driving from IL to CO. It was a gorgeous day out, so Raccoon River wasn't getting much action. That made for a quiet experience that I really appreciated. It also meant that I had my own personal waitress. She was friendly and quick, but didn't know much about the beers beyond what was on-tap that day.
Like many a downtown brewpub, this one is in an old brick building that was used for something else that's now long gone. In Raccoon's case, a former car dealership. Because of its original purpose, the building has huge windows that let in ample light. That's a nice shift from the darkness present in many older buildings.
Also like many brewpubs, there's a ton of exposed brick and dark wood. The tables, bar and booths are dark wood too. So the windows are all the more welcome.
Enough with the ambiance. Let's talk food and beer. I ordered the asiago cheese dip. It was large and tasty. Other menu items didn't stray far from standard pub fare: burgers, sandwiches, pasta, etc. There were 8 beers on-tap. Six were year-round and two were seasonal. The Saison I drank was quite good. Since I had to drive, I didn't try any of the others.
All in all, Raccoon River is a nice brewpub that I'm glad I visited.

I have been into Raccoon River a few times as I have travelled through the area and was able to "take it all in" this past weekend on a mini-vacation with the family while in town for the Hy-Vee Triathlon. I must admit that eating dinner was a very different experience than eating lunch at the pub. During the day everything is bright with natural light and it all seemed a little dark to me the night I was there. It perhaps was simply because I have come to expect the place to bright and clean. They have some pool tables in the upstairs and a large seating area downstairs. There is a bar in the main entry way and another at the top of the stairs. They had a decent number of beers on tap. I had a pint of the saisson and a pint of their "amber waves of grain." The saisson was a little sweet to me, but I have picked up some other saissons as I don't want to review until I have an adequate number of comparisons, although I did take notes. The amber was solid, though not as good as the server would have one believe. I was disappointed to not find the rio arriba porter this time, but can't say whether its a freak occurrence or not as I am just a travelling customer. In any event, I have yet to have a meal at Raccoon River that didn't satisfy. Everything tends to be above average to excellent. Maybe I do a good job selecting meals, but I have been with others and everything seems to be very good. I do prefer the daytime atmosphere to the evening. Service is pretty decent, but was less stellar on my most recent visit compared with past experiences. I can't fault a place for an "off night" however. The quality of the beers was good, but the food definitely stole the show. I am very pleased with the brewpubs in Des Moines and think that they compare well with the brewpubs around the country. Any beer lover would enjoy a stop at this establishment.

Glad to be friends on TA :-)
Troubles? I have no troubles - I'm the prototype for Alfred E. Neuman!
I understand from one of your posts that you dabble with electricity --
if you have studied the iching then you will know it is not founded upon superstition or randomness but rather rather an exact statement of where the physical universe is now. Everything that everything does has brought them to that exact moment upon which where the sticks lands. Even the act of deciding to use them, the act of gathering them etc. was spawned by everything in the universe preceding that moment. According to Chinese thought the iching then gives one a formula to decipher what that means...it is considered to be a science rather than a mystical religious interpretation. By the way, the Hindus invented astrology in much the same way. the physical relationship between the celestial bodies places gave one the ability to extrapolate a future much like physicists try to predict the behaviour of sub atomic particles prior to their experiments. ps try to explain to yourself how and why some quantum particles are thought to exist in two separate spaces by leading scientists.

Jim Basquil and Eric Allen break down the Seahawks' Week 9 win over the Buccaneers.Tags: NFL, week 9, recap, Jim Basquil, Eric Allen, Buccaneers, Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks appeared to have a favorable stretch in the schedule, but their most recent game showed that might not be as easy as it seemed.
Being short-handed at wide received likely won't make it any easier.
The Seahawks will be without both Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin on Sunday against the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Seattle (7-1) is in the midst of four games against opponents that are all below .500, but it had to fight for a 14-9 win in St. Louis in the opener to that stretch Monday night. The Seahawks stuffed Rams running back Daryl Richardson at the 1-yard line then forced an incomplete pass on the game's final two plays.
Seattle's seven first downs were the fewest in a victory in franchise history, and its 135 yards of offense were the least since gaining 128 in a 27-3 loss to Arizona on Oct. 18, 2009.
"I think championship teams are able to win the ugly games, where things aren't going right, ball isn't going their way, and they are still able to stand up when they need to," cornerback Richard Sherman said.
Russell Wilson was sacked a career-high seven times but managed to throw a pair of touchdowns, including an 80-yarder to Golden Tate in the third quarter. Wilson has been playing in front of an offensive line that's missing tackles Russell Okung (toe) and Breno Giacomini (knee), and Seattle has given up 27 sacks, four more than any other NFC team.
The Seahawks' offense became even more short-handed after Rice suffered a season-ending knee injury Monday. They were hoping Harvin would be able to make his season debut this week, but he is continuing to recover from August hip surgery.
Coach Pete Carroll said the team rested Harvin this week after he became sore after returning to practice a week ago. Harvin went for a follow-up MRI that confirmed there are no complications from the surgery and that he just needed to be dialed back a bit in his recovery.
The loss of the 6-foot-4 Rice means the Seahawks won't have a wide receiver taller than the 6-2 Ricardo Lockette, who was elevated from the practice squad Wednesday to take Rice's spot.
Seattle, however, might not need much help to outduel one of the league's worst offenses.
Tampa Bay's averages of 14.3 points and 297.7 yards rank only ahead of the other winless team in the league, Jacksonville (10.8 and 286.5). With leading rusher Doug Martin out indefinitely with a shoulder injury, the Buccaneers (0-7) were held to a season-low 48 yards on the ground in a 31-13 loss to Carolina on Oct. 24.
Mike James had 39 yards on 10 carries in his first career start. The Buccaneers are also missing guard Carl Nicks and receiver Mike Williams, who will miss the rest of the season after undergoing hamstring surgery.
Even before Williams' injury, coach Greg Schiano was planning on tweaking the offense to help rookie quarterback Mike Glennon.
Glennon has thrown more passes than any player in league history in his first four games (181) but is averaging less than 250 yards. He had career highs of 30 completions, 51 attempts and 275 yards in last week's defeat.
Glennon, though, couldn't get Tampa Bay into the end zone until he connected with Tim Wright on a 10-yard pass with 2:53 remaining.
"When you're 0-7 you look at every single thing, and I'm sure we're going to be stronger for it moving forward," Schiano said. "I think we've put Mike in a bad spot. He's thrown too many passes. ... We shouldn't put him in that spot as coaches. We've re-evaluated that and we're going to try to play a little more balanced."
Tampa Bay will seek to avoid its worst start since losing its first nine games in 1985 by earning a fourth straight victory over Seattle. The Buccaneers won 38-15 at home in the most recent matchup Dec. 26, 2010.
Seattle won seven of the first eight meetings between the teams, who both came into the league in 1976.

Research Notes
Russell Wilson wasn't sacked Sunday, but he was still put under duress on a career-high 55 percent of his dropbacks (16 of 29). Wilson entered the game as the most pressured quarterback (39 percent of dropbacks).
Wilson threw both of his touchdowns and gained 125 of 217 passing yards when under duress Sunday. [+]Russell Wilson, Sunday
Close [X] | |||||||||||||||
- The Buccaneers gained 172 yards on 31 designed rushes (doesn't include scrambles) in the first three quarters Sunday. Despite the success, and the fact that they maintained a lead until late in the fourth quarter, only four of the Bucs' final 16 plays were rushes by design.
- Mike Glennon's average pass traveled 8.5 yards downfield in the first half Sunday and was 4 of 5 with two touchdowns when passing more than 10 yards downfield. Glennon's average pass in the second half traveled 4.4 yards downfield with only two attempts more than 10 yards (both incomplete).
- The Buccaneers sent at least five pass rushers on half of Russell Wilson's dropbacks in the second half after doing so 36 percent of the time in the first half. Wilson was 9-of-11 passing and averaged 13.5 yards per attempt against such pressure Sunday (10 of 15, 4.6 YPA facing four or fewer rushers). [+]Buccaneers Play-Calling Percentages, Sunday

Mel B in Los Angeles, Estate of the Day
For those without young children there is much to love including an open floor plan and walls of windows that slide open to let in the air.The master bath is a bit crypt-like with its marble on marble on marble decor. The marble has snuck its way into a small fireplace in the master bedroom which seems a bit small by Hollywood standards but boasts a lovely view. The swimming pool is next to an outdoor kitchen and waterfalls with a Buddha statue. The large wooden deck includes an outdoor pool table and the home seems to have almost as much outdoor space as indoor space. The overall effect is more young Hollywood than family style but I'm guessing some freshly-minted sitcom star will snap this one up quickly.

WHUR to Reinstate The Real DC Morning Show
This petition is to boycott Howard University\'s decision to remove Tony, TC and George, The Real DC Morning Show, from our airwaves. We\'re still fighting for quality radio. This petition began in May 2006 and will continue until there is a change at WHUR.
I have been receiving very disturbing and disgusting e-mails from some of you because this petition has been generated to boycott WHUR and was not in support of the Jena6. As stated above, this petition began in May 2006 much earlier than this Louisiana case. We ALL should be in support of the Jena6, but, sending e-mails with curse words, demeaning language and pornographic websites is NOT going to be tolerated and it is not going to do anything for those young men. If you want to do something for them, pray for them and set up your own petition.
May God be with you.

What Is A1c?
Topic Overview
A1c is a test that shows the average level of blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months. People with diabetes need to have this test done regularly to see whether their blood sugar levels have been staying within a target range. This test is also used to diagnose diabetes.
Blood for an A1c test can be collected at home or at your doctor's office. Home testing may not be an option for everyone. Check with your doctor.
- Home testing. Home test kits for A1c are available. Using the kit, you can use a lancet (a small needle) to take a blood sample from a finger. Then, put a few drops of blood on a sample card. Place the card in an envelope and send it to a lab for testing. The lab sends the results of the test to you or your doctor.
- Doctor's office. Some doctors, particularly endocrinologists, have blood-analysis equipment in their offices that can test hemoglobin A1c blood levels from a finger stick. The doctor can then review the results during the appointment.
- Laboratory testing. The most accurate measurement of A1c level is done in commercial laboratories. These labs may be run by local hospitals or large health clinics, or they may be independently owned. Lab personnel check their equipment often, calibrate their machines on a regular schedule, and are monitored by federal and state regulatory authorities. A doctor's office sends the blood sample to the lab. How long it takes to get results depends on the lab. You can have the test results reported to you or your doctor.
A1c test results show your average blood sugar level over time. The result is reported as a percentage. Your goal is to keep your hemoglobin A1c level as close to the normal level as possible. Studies suggest that the lower the A1c level, the lower the incidence of diabetic complications. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends keeping the hemoglobin A1c less than 7%.
The result of your A1c test can also be used to estimate your average blood sugar level. This is called your estimated average glucose, or eAG. Your eAG and A1c show the same thing in two different ways. They both help you know about your average blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months.
The table below shows A1c with estimated average glucose.
Hemoglobin A1c % |
Estimated average glucose (mg/dL) |
6% |
126 |
7% |
154 |
8% |
183 |
9% |
212 |
10% |
240 |
11% |
269 |
12% |
298 |
A1c levels for children and teens are different. For children younger than 6 years old, the ADA recommends an A1c level less than 8.5%. In children 6 to 12 years old, the recommended level is less than 8%. And in teens, the recommended level is less than 7.5%.2
Results of A1c tests that are read at different labs vary, but standardization among labs is improving.

Yesterday, in the course of
defending the Obama Administration's policy of targeted killings of
accused terrorists, including American citizens overseas, White
House spokes-lackey Jay Carney vaguely cited "ample judicial
precedent" for snuffing enemies of the United States. He did,
however, gloss over a rather long and storied history of something
called "due process" during the course of which the government is
supposed to prove it didn't grab the wrong poor bastard, either by
accident, or through malice. Here's
how the exchange went:
Q But let's be clear. This is giving a
legal justification for killing American citizens without any trial
whatsoever, without any evidence.
MR. CARNEY: Again, I would point you to the ample judicial
precedent for the idea that someone who takes up arms against the
United States in a war against the United States is an enemy, and
therefore could be targeted accordingly. That's I think
established in a number of cases, and I'm not even a lawyer and I'm
aware of that.
But how do we know the someone is being snuffed because
he actually "takes up arms against the United States" and not
because some facial recognition software went haywire or, worse,
because he's inconvenient or offensive to U.S. officials in a way
that doesn't legitimately command punishment? All we have is the
word of the administration that enemies of the United States are
being targeted for death. But the case hasn't been proven in any
way that's open to scrutiny.Yeah, due process is hard because you have to show your work and
convince (supposedly) skeptical observers. It's supposed to be that

Comments about Womens Altra Provisioness 1.5 Running Shoe: I run with my dogs every morning and was in need of a good comfy shoe. I prefer light runners but frequently get pains in my arches when wearing them. This is my first pair of Altra shoes and I have to say I am smitten! I love how they feel and have no aches or pains when running. They are super comfy and light. One thing on sizing though is I have to agree with other reviewers on the point that they can be a bit snug so you may want to order a size up if you plan on using the inserts.

Over time my feet have changed and I have spent the last year and a half looking for a shoe that didn't cramp my toes, hurt the ball of my foot or blister the slight bunion. THESE are it.

Some of the Dodgier Titles That We Have Come Across
In the course of creating Fake Titles, we have come across some absolutely ludicrous claims from purchasers of 'titles', as well as from the sellers; unfortunately some behave in ways that bring little credit to themselves and therefore we felt that it might help you if we highlighted some of those.
Sir Robert Cowley, 2nd Baron Ardwhallan
This slippery customer has been investigated by the British Police, but regrettably seems to continue his nefarious pursuits with almost complete impunity from the comparative safety of Australia. He should carry a serious wealth warning, as becoming close to him is liable to remove a considerable portion of your worldly assets. If he is spotted, please get in touch immediately.
His associates, such as Warren Clarke Anderson, seem to also boast a similar lack of credibility; Warren claims a "distinguish (sic) [BBA] Hons in International Business Studies, [MBA] Banking & Finance (UK) The Regents University of San Moritz". The same sort of qualification could be yours for around $500! While Sir or sometimes Dr Andrew Haberfield should be treated with similar caution, especially if any of them offer to raise money for you, but want to be paid an 'up front' fee.
I am sure the regulatory authorities would be very interested to hear from anybody with information about Robert Cowley, particularly if you have paid him a fee but never succeeded in getting your loan.
Anyone who has dealt with his company Investment Suisse, which he claims is a major Swiss financial institution, might be interested to learn that "Investment Suisse is not authorized by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (nor the former SFBC, FINMA's predecessor). Investment Suisse is not a legitimate Swiss company, nor is it a bank and has no physical presence in Switzerland", according to the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority. However the Investment Suisse website is not live any longer.It apparently operates out of a well-known accommodation address on London's Piccadilly, which seems unusual for such a large financial institution, however, usefully, it does house an escort service among a plethora of other companies.You might also like to study his involvement with the strange Lichtenburg Foundation and the amazing Princess Maya, Baroness de Haynau, apparently 'Baron' Cowley is a Minister of State for the Principality of Lichtenburg, though the place only seems to exist in someone's imagination, I am sure though that their aims are purely charitable as stated. You might further like to find out more about another gentleman connected to the Foundation, Lord Hankins of Ravensburn, his title seems to have as much credibility as 'Sir' Robert's; they tried to hold a charity dinner in Queensland, Australia at A$1000 a plate to raise funds, but unfortunately for them there were so few takers that it got called off.Latest News: 'Sir' Robert has now threatened me with a Notice of Intention to Commence Criminal Prosecution, however, he seems to have joined forces with a gentleman called Bernie O'Brien, using the notepaper of the Affordable Legal Company. Bernie's credibility unfortunately seems to be about as great as 'Sir' Robert's, you might be interested to see his recent performance on YouTube, in which he was questioned about where money that investors had given to him for producing business loans had disappeared to.
Lord or sometimes Sir Charles Buchanan Turnor
If you come across a Knightship for sale in an auction, then do not attempt to buy it. Unfortunately on any number of occasions the unwary have purchased 'Lord' Turnor's Field Knightships of the Plantagenet Toxophilites, quite often paying several thousand pounds, including Ian Whyman of South Yorkshire, MD of a demolition company, who coughed up a hefty £7,000 for two at an auction in Malmesbury held by Hilditch Auctioneers, who really didn't bother to do much checking.
Lord Charles lives in the grandly named East Barkwith Manor in Lincolnshire, actually a small cottage, but seemed unwilling to talk when approached by a reporter from The People. Do avoid him like the plague, and please report any Knightships that you spot being offered for sale either to me or directly to the police.
The Right Hon the Lord Mitford
The most worrying fact about His Lordship's Website is that "Lord Mitford maintains a small collection of books related to genealogy and the peerage and in his spare time conducts genealogy and peerage research". Help! Talk about the blind leading the blind.
Though he may well own the two Manorial Lordships of the Mitford family - he is not able to call himself The Right Hon the Lord Mitford, just Mr Mark Mitford, Lord of the Honour of Mitford, and Lord of the Manor of Molesden; and certainly not The Right Hon, the use of that is reserved for peers of the rank of Baron, Viscount or Earl, and Members of Her Majesty's Privy Council.
Lord Brett Mclean of Hastings
He seems to delight in having his photograph taken with famous people, and persists in using his nonexistent title despite the fact that I have proved to him that it is completely fake.
However, you can enjoy finding out more about him on his web site, which has many laudable aims, such as supporting local charities, it is just a shame that he feels that he needs his 'title' to achieve that, but he has also used it to gain the positions of Vice Chairman of East Sussex Federation of Small Businesses and Chairman of the East Sussex Economic Advisory Board, two organisations that seem to have been fooled by it, which does not achieve a lot for their credibility.

Rating: 3 stars
It's Sixth Sense, the comedy! In Ghost Town, Ricky Gervais plays Bertram Pincus, a misanthropic dentist who dies for 7 minutes during a routine medical procedure (okay, a colonoscopy) and, when he awakens, can see dead people. Poor Pincus has a hard enough time with the living—now he has to contend with the dead. To make matters worse, all these dead loiterers want something from him—you see, they have unresolved issues on earth; that's why they're still hanging around. Most persistent of all is Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear), who wants Pincus to help break off the engagement of his widow (Tea Leoni) to the boringly perfect Richard (Billy Campbell).
This is all pretty high-concept, potentially-cutesy stuff, but it is leavened by great performances and some sharp writing. Pincus's pointed barbs—"Come back soon!" a nurse coos at him. "What a terrible thing to say in a hospital," he snaps back—can be funny and satisfying, in that nasty, Curb Your Enthusiasm sort of way. But Gervais makes the character just pathetic enough to be likeable. As for Kinnear, it's nice to see him relaxing into a rakish, Cary Grant-style role. (He plays a frumpy everyman in Flash of Genius, which I'll be reviewing next week.) And Kristen Wiig, so funny on Saturday Night Live, shines in a small role as the tanaholic doctor who tries to cover her slip up by brightly offering, "Everyone dies!" "Yes, but usually at the end of their lives!" Bertram sputters back.
Funny all the way through, Ghost Town will actually give you quite a lump in your throat by its end. What's more, it has the perfect last two lines for any film involving a dentist. Seriously, so perfect you may wonder if they wrote the last two lines first and then built the whole film around them. Okay, probably not, but they're that good.

For the second time in as many weeks, Knowshon Moreno has been nominated for the Diet Pepsi Rookie of the Week Award.
Moreno led the Broncos with 14 carries for 65 yards in Sunday's 17-10 victory over the Cowboys. He leads all NFL rookies with 249 rushing yards this season.
Vote for Moreno here through this Friday's 10 a.m. MDT deadline.
Moreno added two catches for 11 yards against Dallas, including a nine-yard touchdown reception. That catch was the first receiving score of his career, and makes him the only rookie in the NFL to post a rushing touchdown and receiving touchdown this season.
Moreno led all NFL rookies in yards per rush (4.6) during Week 4 and was one of four NFL players to not have a rush for negative yardage. He is up against Colts wide receiver Austin Collie, Dolphins cornerback Vontae Davis, Bears wide receiver Johnny Knox and Browns wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi for the award.
So come out and vote here through the Friday deadline.
