COLOGNE, GERMANY -- (Marketwired) -- 05/20/14 -- RGB Networks, the leading provider of the industry's most scalable, unified solutions for multiscreen video delivery, today announced that it has partnered with Pi Telecom, a specialist in the development of interactive IP video solutions, to deliver a full, end-to-end software-based over-the-top (OTT) solution. As a subsidiary of top Russian system integrator BCC, Pi Telecom represents the integrator's operations outside of Russia.
With the rise of video-on-demand (VOD) and network digital video recorder (nDVR) as essential TV Everywhere services, operators are actively looking for solutions that ensure they can attract and engage a generation of increasingly mobile viewers. Equally, given the business flexibility and potential cost-savings offered by moving applications to cloud-based platforms, these same operators are keen to take advantage of the new and exciting opportunities available to them. Through this pioneering, joint offering, Pi Telecom and RGB Networks address this mounting two-fold demand.
Pi Telecom's MediaStage family of products enables the realization of a wide range of interactive TV solutions and can be integrated seamlessly with existing services for a Hybrid IPTV/OTT service, or scaled up to accommodate a full scale OTT rollout. And, when coupled with RGB's software-based transcoding/packaging portfolio, as part of its CloudXtream initiative, providers are delivered a reliable, end-to-end OTT/IPTV solution that is unmatched by other vendors in the market. Capable of being hosted in either public or private cloud environments, the solution can be quickly deployed and can instantly scale to accommodate customer demand. The partnership offers smaller European operators the ability to take advantage of moving applications to agile cloud environments as part of their long-term business plans.
"From our conversations with providers we understand that they are looking for a cost effective, end-to-end solution capable of delivering a full range of services to a myriad of devices, regardless of network," said Arie Aig, CEO at Pi Telecom. "MediaStage -- integrated with RGB's transcoding and packaging products -- enables rapid introduction of services. We chose RGB Networks for its broad, operational experience and the high-quality and reliability of its product portfolio."
The solution has already been deployed with Megafon, one of the Russia's largest mobile operators, delivering more than 200 live channels and a full range of services with nDVR, VOD and providing access on set-top boxes (STBs), tablets and smartphones.
"Our CloudXtream initiative is an essential development in the future of 21st century OTT TV delivery. By supporting the delivery of essential multiscreen technologies like high-performance packagers and transcoders in a virtualized setting, our solution ensures operators can maximise on the agility of the cloud," said Andy Salo, Vice President of Product Management at RGB Networks. "By uniting with eminent developers like Pi Telecom, we are offering video service providers (VSPs) a competitive, future-proof solution that buoys the multiscreen business case and ensures operators, and the consumer focussed services they deliver, stay at the forefront of an increasingly competitive market."
A demonstration of Pi Telecom's MediaStage and RGB's transcoding/packaging solution will be available at this year's ANGA COM on RGB's stand # 10.1 / V18.

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Planetary scientists have identified water ice and unusually dark deposits within permanently shadowed areas at Mercury's north pole.
Using data collected by NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft, a team from UCLA crafted the first accurate thermal model of the solar system's innermost planet, successfully pinpointing the extremely cold regions where ice has been found on or below the surface.
The researchers say the newly discovered black deposits are a thin crust of residual organic material brought to the planet over the past several million years through impacts by water-rich asteroids and comets.
Understanding how water ice has been preserved on Mercury and where it came from may help scientists determine the conditions necessary for sustaining life on other planets.
This research, one of three MESSENGER papers published online today in the journal Science (and scheduled for upcoming print publication), sheds light on the long-standing issue of ice on Mercury. Several independent lines of evidence now reveal that the sun-scorched planet has extensive water ice deposits at its poles.
In the early 1990s, scientists were surprised to find that areas near Mercury's poles were unusually bright when observed with radar from Earth, a potential indication that ice might be present.
UCLA's David Paige, the lead author of one of the new Science papers and a self-described "professional ice finder," has studied the poles of planetary bodies in the solar system, from Mercury to Pluto.
"Mercury is the innermost planet in the solar system, and, arguably, it's among the least explored," said Paige, a professor of Earth and space sciences. "The surface of Mercury exhibits the most extreme range of temperatures of any body we know of in the solar system."
Within a single polar crater on Mercury, there are spots that reach the oven-like temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit within sight of areas cold enough to freeze and preserve water ice for billions of years. These "natural freezers" exist within the shadowed areas of polar-crater rims, which never experience direct sunlight due to the low angle of the sun at such high latitudes, Paige said.
Paige's team was able to use the first detailed topographic map of Mercury's north polar region produced by MESSENGER to generate an accurate thermal model of the pole. Their calculations of the planet's sub-surface temperatures are a near-perfect match to Earth-based radar observations and surface-brightness measurements made by the Mercury Laser Altimeter (MLA) instrument onboard the orbiting spacecraft.
Where their temperature model predicts water ice should be stable on the surface, the MLA nearly always measures unusually bright patches, indicative of surface ice deposits. In places where it is too warm for surface ice but cold enough for ice to exist beneath the surface, the MLA sees unusually dark material.
"This stuff we find covering the ice is darker than the rest of Mercury, which is already a really dark planet. That's amazing," Paige said. "At the very least, it means there is something out of the ordinary going on inside these permanently shadowed areas where the ice has accumulated."
The mysterious dark substance likely arrived on Mercury as part of the comets and asteroids that periodically crash into the planet, bringing water ice and a diverse cocktail of organic material, Paige said. In the searing daytime heat of Mercury, the only place water and organics can survive is within permanently shadowed craters.
But only in the very coldest areas of the permanently shadowed regions can water ice exist on the surface. In the warmer shadowed areas, the top layers of ice begin to evaporate away into space, leaving behind a layer of hardy organic molecules that are stable at higher temperatures and which turn black over time when exposed at the surface. Once the dark layer is thick enough, it protects the ice underneath, allowing a sub-surface ice deposit to survive.
"There are areas on the surface where it is too hot for ice to exist, but radar data from Earth show something bright reflecting from these areas, so we're pretty sure that there's water ice buried underneath," said co-author Matthew Siegler, a researcher at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and a UCLA alumnus. "You need some kind of insulating layer to keep that heat from getting down to the ice."
The presence of bright ice and dark organics on Mercury's surface presents a mystery for MESSENGER researchers. Large comets and asteroids periodically impact Mercury, covering a huge swath of the planet in a layer of dirt and dust and adding further craters to the airless planet's already scarred landscape. For the water ice and black organic layers to remain exposed on Mercury's ancient surface, the deposits must have formed recently in the planet's geological history, or they must be maintained by new water brought to Mercury by smaller, more frequent impacts.
"Billions of years ago, the Earth acquired a layer of water and other volatile material that formed atmospheres, oceans and even the first organic molecules that started life," Paige said. "Understanding the origin of that material is a very important problem and is essential to finding out about the potential habitability of planetary systems around other stars."
Ellen Harju, a graduate student in the UCLA Department of Earth and Space Sciences, is a co-author of the paper.
Paige's study was published alongside two other MESSENGER papers, with colleagues David Lawrence and Greg Neumann as the lead authors. All three research discoveries were showcased today in a press conference on NASA TV.
Launched in 2004, MESSENGER became the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury in March of 2011. Previously, the closest glimpse of the planet was provided by three fly-bys by the Mariner 10 spacecraft in 1974-75. The name MESSENGER, short for MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging, was chosen to evoke the Greco-Roman messenger deity Mercury, a god of trade, merchants and travel.

Its on-going mission, to explore the strange new comet, to seek out new plumes of dust and gas, spewing from the warming surface of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Somewhere dark and icy on a comet 320 million miles away, the history-making, comet-bouncing Philae spacecraft is sleeping. Its batteries are depleted and there isn't enough sunlight to recharge. But while the lander finished its primary job, collecting invaluable data on the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the Rosetta mission is far from over. For many scientists, the excitement is just beginning.
Black Beauty, a 4.4 billion-year-old martian meteorite, has captivated collectors and scientists
After landing a probe on an icy comet, the European Space Agency (ESA) is now heading to scorching-hot Mercury with its BepiColombo spacecraft.
To see back in time, you need a massive telescope—one big enough to capture light from when the first galaxies were formed, 13.5 billion years ago. Astronomers are clamoring to see this light, so NASA is obliging them by building the James Webb Space Telescope.
No one knows what the planet Gliese 667Cc looks like. We know that it is about 22 light-years from Earth, a journey of lifetimes upon lifetimes. But no one can say whether it is a world like ours, with oceans and life, cities and single-malt Scotch. Only a hint of a to-and-fro oscillation in the star it orbits, detectable by Earth's most sensitive telescopes and spectrographs, lets astronomers say the planet exists at all.
A top U.S. Air Force official on Wednesday said she is "pretty optimistic" that privately held Space Exploration Technologies will eventually be certified to launch U.S. military satellites into orbit but declined comment on the timing of such an action.

Lance Armstrong has decided to stay in France and hopes he'll be allowed to race in a triathlon while his lawyers fight new doping charges against him.
Officials for the Ironman France race on June 24 had said Armstrong wouldn't be allowed to compete after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency announced he will be charged with using performance-enhancing drugs during his cycling career.
Armstrong told The Associated Press on Thursday he would return to the United States. Hours later, he said he would stay in France and hopes race officials will let him compete.
A spokeswoman for the governing body of Ironman racing did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

Investment Column: Payout shows Antofagasta's confidence
Weir; Inchcape
Wednesday 09 March 2011
Our view: Hold
Share price: 1,382p (-38p)
Copper, as we have noted before, is the key to deciding whether or not to invest in Antofagasta.
This is not to downplay the importance of the company's strengths and weaknesses; they still matter. But the copper miner's shares are, along with sector peer Kazakhmys, among the most geared to commodity markets.
Turning first to the business itself, the full-year figures published yesterday were strong. Revenues rose by a heady 54.5 per cent to $4.6bn on higher copper prices and good production, but best of all for investors Anto-fagasta said it would pay a final dividend of 112 cents, made up of an ordinary payout of 16 cents, up from 9.4 cents last year, and a stonking special dividend of 100 cents per share, up from 14 cents last year.
Driving the company's confidence, in our view, are the underlying fundamentals of the copper market, with the prospect of a yawning mismatch between demand and supply looming on the horizon for 2011.
The problem for us is that the industrial metal has already been on quite a rally, with average prices on the London Metal Exchange up 46 per cent last year. That may open the door to some profit-taking, we fear. Moreover, there is a question of rising costs as energy prices pick up. So far, that has not mattered as the impact has been offset by rising commodity prices. But a sharp pull-back in the copper price may change that.
Of course, these concerns – all of them short to medium term in nature – can be offset by the valuation. But, alas, Antofagasta already trades at "considerably higher multiples than those of Kazakhmys or indeed the major diversified miners", according to the scribblers at Evolution. Given that, we would not buy. But the company's strengths and the confidence evidenced by the special dividend means this is not a sell.
Our view: Buy
Share price: 1,695p (-84p)
Weir's shares were out of favour last night, despite thoroughly respectable results showing orders surging by 39 per cent to £1.9bn last year.
The company also posted pre-tax profits up by more than 60 per cent, on revenues of £1.6bn. And yet, the stock slumped in afternoon trading, in part on unexpectedly high debts, but also as investors took profits from an eight-month run of gains.
But the engineering group remains attractive, in our view. Of its three divisions, oil and gas was the stellar performer last year. Order input for the year almost doubled to £626m, thanks to the recovery in the US shale market, sending profits soaring by 122 per cent to £117m.
Roaring demand for commodities also played well, pushing the minerals division's orders up by more than a quarter to £984m. The only slight drag was the power and industrial unit, as weakness in developed markets outweighed strong activity in Asia.
Keith Cochrane, the Weir Group chief executive, said the company had demonstrated "great agility" in improving mining and oil and gas markets in 2010, and said it is "well on track" to double 2009 profits by 2014, as planned.
In the short term, Weir has a strong order book and a clear growth strategy. Over the longer term, its exposure to growth markets such as mining and oil and gas give it plenty of potential.
Our view: Hold
Share price: 393.6p (+2.1p)
Inchcape became the latest UK-based car dealership operator to wheel out an impressive set of figures yesterday, following on from rivals Vertu Motors and Pendragon over the past fortnight.
A rigorous focus on costs – mostly notably, a reduction in headcount and disposal of 15 sites – and a robust performance in most of its 26 markets helped Inchcape accelerate profit growth by 38 per cent to £214m for the 12 months to December.
More good news for investors came from Inchcape recommending a final dividend of 6.6p, after passing on its final payment for 2008 and 2009.
For all the good news, Inchcape, which sells brands from Mercedes-Benz to Porsche, warned of an "uneven global recovery".
The company forecasts market growth in Australia, Russia, South America, Ethiopia, and the Baltics, but "declines" in Singapore, the UK, Belgium and Greece, which together account for more than half of group sales. Inchcape's caution makes us wary of wading in, but the fact that the stock trades on a modest forward earnings multiple of 11.6 argues against a negative view.

John Carver Show - Piece of Blink by Malcolm Gladwell
in Self Help
Today's Radio Show/Podcast is called "A Piece of Blink."
Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant-in the blink of an eye-that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work-in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others?

SIgNoThEtImEsw Queen Tahiyrah & Dr. James Jones Malcolm X on Human Rights 1965
in Motivation
Tonight we will be discussing The Honorable Malcolm X and the last speech he gave in Detroit, the night after his home was fire bombed. During this impassioned speech and plea to the African community, Brother Malcolm outlines what the community, all of the community, should and could be doing to protect its Human Rights- Our true inalienable rights- to Life Liberty & the Pursuit of Justice & Happiness.
It is not acceptable to settle any longer. We must step up as a commUNITY and establish ourselves as the vanguards of the revolution that never had the real opportunity to take place. We must learn from the mistakes of the past-never to repeat them again. And when we are faced with injustices, over prosecution and persecution, we must stand up for not only ourselves, but for every mother, brother, sister, cousin and friend who we directly and indirectly represent.
An injustice to one, is an injustice to all.
I am still my Brother and my Sister's Keeper. And we are not afraid.
UNITY is the key.

As Christians (followers of Christ) should these leaders speak from their mind, or from what is written based on the word of God? This show will examine things said by men and woman claiming to be Gods ministers to reveal whether or not they are speaking Gods word and doing his will. 1Pet 4: 11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through JesusChrist, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever.

Ricky Gervais: Fame, Apollo Theatre, London
Julian Hall
Julian has been the comedy critic for The Independent since 2003. He is also the author of The Rough Guide to British Cult Comedy, www.textualhealing.co.uk
Tuesday 05 December 2006
It may be indicative of the ever-growing cult of personality of Ricky Gervais that, two years ago, the warm-up gig before his national tour was held in The Soho Theatre's 160-seater auditorium, but this time around he has filled the 550-seater Bloomsbury Theatre and the 800-seater Apollo Theatre to stretch his performance muscles.
While the stage space might be bigger, the drill is the same: one portly comedian in blue jeans and a black T-shirt, a lectern and a very relaxed and engaging delivery. Perhaps a bit too relaxed on this occasion. Yes, the gig was a work-in-progress, and the ticket prices were reasonable, with the proceeds going to the Macmillan Cancer Trust, but the night never quite felt the wind beneath its wings and Gervais strolled through it, rarely breaking into a canter.
At the beginning of the show, there was some knockabout stuff about how much Gervais has done for charity and how he might one day have to order a cancer victim off a bed, protesting: "Oi, I paid for that!" Gervais then scored a number of hits on the subject of obesity, the newest charitable cause and a disease where "everything tastes good". Elsewhere, Gervais's ease and cheeky smile could not quite save modest routines about Hitler's genitalia and some lazy and oft-quoted gags on the issue of rape.
Moreover, a feeling of cruise control was actively detrimental to some material. I had read of a gag about the lurid services advertised on toilet walls and then pitching the same services to the BBC2 show Dragons' Den, a super notion but a gag that was fluffed and not given the life one would have hoped for on stage.
Though titled Fame, in reality the show should have been called Charity and Toilet, reflecting the two main areas from where the humour came. Maybe this was a blessing as we were spared too many in-jokes about celebrities, the double-edged gimmick on which his successful TV show Extras was built.
From watching Gervais's last stand-up show, Politics, go from work-in-progress to full tour, I can see that Fame will yet undergo a transformation. If past experience is anything to go by, then the odds favour a finished article altogether more punchy and pacy than tonight's performance.

Do You Grocery Shop the Same Day Every Week?
by Fitness 12 Reactions 2 Shares Print
I like to go to the grocery store a couple times a week so I can pick up fresh produce and use it up before it goes bad. I typically go the same days — Sunday and Wednesday. What about you?

I'd love to go more than once a week, but once a week is about as consistent as I can be with work and all the other chores of life.

My boyfriend and I go whenever we need food but it usually ends up being a Sat or Sun and then we have to get milk at least once in the middle of the week and maybe some random things too.

I usually go on saturday mornings, but if i need something during the week or decide to make something else i will stop at the store after work during the week.

I go at the worst possible time - Sunday afternoon - when everyone else in my town is going grocery shopping too! It stinks because a lot of my fave foods like the good produce and Greek yogurt are usually gone. So next week I vow to go Sunday morning.

I grocery shop as soon as the store opens on Saturday mornings, before the rest of the world gets there.

I go on Saturday mornings before the market gets too crowded and then again on Wednesday night to get fresh fruit/veggies and whatever else we have run out of since Saturday.

I usually do my grocery shopping on Saturdays but will go to the store throughout the week if I run out of anything.

Usually...I try to go on Sunday but sometimes I'll go on Saturday or Monday depending on my schedule and what I have going on that weekend. I really hate going on Saturday though. I went yesterday and the store was a zoo. Too many kids running around the store.

It often works out to be the same day, but it's not scheduled to be on that day all the time.

Yeap - Sat - shop for non-vege/fruit items like milk/cereal/meat from grocery store or Costco. Sun/Wed - Farmer's market for Fruit and Vege.

it was nice. we just kind of hung out. she didnt even mention the farting incident.
Just FYI I rubbed poison oak on all your sheets and blankets so we all will know who you hooked up with (in about a day)
we saw you sitting at the door of the dorm trashed, wrapped in DANGER tape with a stolen balloon around your wrist
so i made out with some dude last night at the bar. and some girl just stood there and watched. i felt bad so i made out with her too. She looked like she felt left out.
Is it obsessive that I keep picking my crazy sex rug burn scab so it leaves a scar I can remember him by?
just woke up COVERED in glow sticks and glitter. didn't even have to turn the light on to puke.
It wasn't until that morning that I realized I wasn't actually dreaming, finding myself in the bathtub with someone laying on me
I can always tell its time to do laundry when my vibrator doesn't stay covered up in my sock drawer.
She kept chasing him yelling thief, because he drank some of her drink. That was at 8, it got worse.
ALSO, bringing a stapler to the bar is a good idea
She was kinda cute. So long as you don't mind neck tattoos and bad life choices.
Yeah i was handcuffed to the bed all night but i actually slept like a baby
I love the fact that my Mom has been present at 90% of my drug deals.
It's a good thing my liver is flexible because a lesser man would be dead
Lol I wish they went straight to your cock then shot out into my mouth like a cock nacho dispenser

I'm amazed at how little parent consultation was done about the 4/5 Corte Madera plan. It seems to have been driven by a small group of parents, with very little wider community involvement. The idea of having 9 year olds (or even their parents) try to pick an area of academic concentration is absurd. High schools don't do it and even Universities discourage undergraduates to do it until their Junior year. Shouldn't we be encouraging our 9 & 10 year olds to have the broadest general Liberal Arts education instead of pigeon holing them at such a young age?

CIC's Space Ambitions Remain Grounded
(Beijing) – China Investment Corp. (CIC) is mulling how to make the most of its recent acquisition of a minority stake in a leading European satellite operator. But whatever the move is, experts say, it's unlikely to result in a technology transfer that China craves.
The company is now the third-largest shareholder of Eutelsat Communications SA. In June, it bought 7 percent of the world's third-largest satellite operator for €385.2 million from Spanish infrastructure company Abertis, which still holds 8.35 percent of Eutelsat and is the second-largest shareholder.

Paul Gillespie: Obama Channels Nixon in Asia Pivot
Paul Gillespie is a foreign editor and columnist for the newspaper The Irish Times.
"If you are a strategic thinker in China, you do not have to be a paranoid conspiracy theorist to think that the US is trying to bandwagon Asia against China." So says Simon Tay, chairman of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs, in a comment on the new United States "strategic pivot" towards the Asia-Pacific region. It highlights what promises to be one of the key geopolitical trends in coming decades.
Last year Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton made successive pronouncements on this shift of focus. It was woven into their positions on military spending, trade, regional security and relations with China. Obama repeatedly affirmed the US role as a Pacific power, while Clinton asserted US willingness to mediate conflicts between China and other states about mineral rights and access to the South China Sea and similar sensitive sea zones in China's neighbourhood.
Bandwagoning in strategic thinking has to do with weaker and smaller states accommodating the most powerful one to appease it or profit from its expected victory. It is usually counterposed to balancing or allying against a threatening power to deter it. Containment has to do with preventing a hostile power expanding. It comes between detente or engagement and rollback or military attack to prevent that.
Such language has been out of fashion since the cold war conflict between the US and the Soviet Union. It has been resurrected now to describe the emerging US policy towards China and the growing importance of trans-Pacific relations for international politics in this century...

Garcia apologizes for 'hurtful' comment to Woods
Sergio Garcia apologized to Tiger Woods for saying he would serve fried chicken if they were to have dinner at the U.S. Open, an ugly addition to nearly two weeks of verbal sparring.
What had been a celebration of European golf at an awards dinner south of London shifted suddenly to a racially sensitive moment involving Woods, the No. 1 golfer in the world and the only player of African-American heritage on the PGA Tour.
Garcia said he meant to give a funny answer to a playful question, and it turned out to be "totally stupid and out of place."
"I feel sick about it, and I feel truly, truly sorry," he said Wednesday from the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, site of the European Tour's flagship event.
The two golfers have exchanged barbs the last 11 days, dating to the third round of The Players Championship when Garcia implied that Woods purposely stirred up the gallery as the Spaniard was playing a shot. Woods said it was not surprising that Garcia was complaining.
Garcia and his Ryder Cup teammates were at a dinner Tuesday night when the emcee, Golf Channel's Steve Sands, jokingly asked Garcia if he would have Woods over for dinner during the U.S. Open.
"We'll have him round every night," Garcia replied. "We will serve fried chicken."
Garcia issued a statement through the European Tour after the dinner that did not mention Woods by name. He apologized "for any offense that may have been caused" by answering the question with a "silly remark."
"But in no way was the comment meant in a racist manner," the statement said.
Woods responded Wednesday morning with a series of tweets that said: "The comment that was made wasn't silly. It was wrong, hurtful and clearly inappropriate. I'm confident that there is real regret the remark was made. The Players ended nearly two weeks ago, and it's long past time to move on and talk about golf."
Krzyzewski will remain
U.S. men's basketball coach
Duke's Mike Krzyzewski has decided to remain coach of the U.S. men's Olympic basketball team.
Krzyzewski will try to lead the Americans to a third straight gold medal, a person with knowledge of the decision said Wednesday. Originally expected to step down, Krzyzewski will hold a news conference to confirm his return Thursday at Duke, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no official announcement has been made.
The Hall of Fame coach has led the Americans since 2005, winning gold at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, and the 2010 world basketball championship.

Linebacker Andre Tippett: In the words of...
Originally Published: August 1, 2008By Chris Conetzkey
Manny Rubio/NFL/Getty ImagesAndre Tippett, a pass-rushing linebacker, had 16.5 sacks to lead the AFC in 1985.Teammate Steve Nelson
Nelson, a three-time Pro Bowl linebacker who played on the left side with Tippett, on how his teammate's knowledge of martial arts helped make him a dominant defender: "Oh, he was a black belt, I don't know what discipline, but he was the real deal. He was just a nightmare matchup for an offensive lineman because of his quickness ... Put together all that ability with his desire to be the best, that is why he made as many plays as he did. I think he was probably one of the first guys that was really into the martial arts, which helped him gain leverage, know his body, and be able to get his opponent off balance. I think he was probably the best at it."
Truly One Of The Greats
Andre Tippett was often overlooked, but he's just as worthy of his place in Canton as Lawrence Taylor or any other linebacking great. Tim Graham
• AFC East blog
Former Miami Dolphins center Stephenson on the unique challenge of matching up against Tippett:
"We always wanted to know where he was. When you are trying to protect the quarterback, sometimes our free man we would always use to keep an eye on him because you know he is the guy that can give an offensive lineman a lot of problems."I remember one time he came over by me at the center position, and it was a relatively easy block for me. He was rushing the passer, and I felt pretty good. But the guy got under me and gave me a heck of a run. The next time, I was really geared for him, and again he gave me a lot of problems. I tried to cut him, but he was too difficult to knock off his feet." Andre Tippett
Tippett on his career being compared to that of Hall of Fame New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor: "Well, you know, I think that at every step that we all have gone through in high school football, college, we've all had somebody that you look to, as, 'OK, this is a guy that's considered to be the very best at the position. OK, well, what do I need to do to be considered or mentioned in the same breath.' "It's a known fact that I've been referred to as the LT of the AFC -- or AT is the LT of the AFC -- to me, it's all the same. I have so much respect for Lawrence Taylor. I think what he did, he opened a lot of doors for a lot of other guys to come into the league. Guys were measured up against him. We want to get us an LT, we want to get us an Andre Tippett, we want to run a 3-4 defense. I think it was just like any great running back -- they look at the other great running backs, what running style have they done, how can I emulate that.
"He was an amazing athlete, and I have nothing but respect for Lawrence Taylor, and I think that when it's all said and done, I think it just goes down as Lawrence Taylor was one of the greatest and Andre Tippett was one of the greats and one of the greatest, so it really doesn't matter now because we are all in the same place."
Alan Schwartz/NFL Photos/Getty ImagesSteve Nelson twice went to the Pro Bowl with his left-side counterpart Andre Tippett.
A Story
Nelson on how Tippett's reaction following a loss that dropped their 1985 Patriots team to 2-3 helped the squad rebound to rattle off six straight wins:"The year we went to the Super Bowl we got beat by Cleveland and after the game he really went nuts. "It was because he was sick of losing. He realized it was a team that had a lot of talent and we just weren't playing up to our ability, but we went on a little run after that, and got into the playoffs, and then into the Super Bowl. But I think that whole run was started by Andre's little tirade after the Cleveland Browns game. It woke a lot of guys up. Some guys talk and nobody listens, but when Andre talked, because he didn't do a lot of it, people listened."

Brian Eno on apps and albums
Brian Eno is a pop and electronic music legend. He first found fame for his work with art college pop icons Roxy Music, before going on to pioneer ambient music in the late 1970s.
He has produced albums for the likes of David Bowie, U2 and Coldplay.
His latest venture is the app Scape, a follow-up to 2008's Bloom app. Scape not only contains his most recent 'album' of the same name, but is also a tool allowing people to compose their own music on mobile devices.
He developed it with Peter Chilvers, known for his work creating music for computer games in the 1990s.
The app promises "deep access to the musical elements" that the composers used to make the album itself.
Rory Cellan-Jones caught up with Brian Eno in his London studio, to hear his views on the future of music.
