The St Louis Cardinals fanbase is the second one to lose a legend today, as Baseball Hall of Famer Stan Musial has passed away at age 92. Musial is the second Hall of Famer we've lost this weekend, following the passing of former Baltimore Orioles manage Earl Weaver yesterday evening. Musial was one of the greatest players in baseball history, winning three MVP awards by age 27, and finishing as runner-up four other times during his 22 year career, all of which was spent with the Cardinals. Musial finished his career with a .331/.417/.559 statline with 475 homers and 3630 hits, the fourth-highest total of all-time. Musial was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969 in his first year on the ballot, collecting 93.9% of the vote. He was a 20-time All-Star for the National League, along with a seven-time batting champion. He was a member of three Cardinals World Championship teams (1942, 1944, 1946), and quite frankly, was one of the greatest players in baseball history. Musial remains the career leader in total bases by a left-handed hitter, and was the first player in baseball history to record both 300 homers and 3000 hits. Rest in peace, Stan the Man. [follow]

Client Description:
This company will create a new, certified organic sports drink for health-conscious, active people made with 100% all-natural ingredients and no coloring, chemicals, or other crap. The current formulation has only six ingredients.
The overall aesthetic of the brand will be fairly minimal and zen. I want to emphasize lightness, health, fitness, revitalization, etc. and I really want to emphasize the natural element of the product, since I think that's the key differentiation. I want to communicate with real people who know a sports drink is not going to make you superman or a pro athlete and avoid the cliches of companies like Gatorade & Powerade. This is supposed to be a product for real people who like to be active and fit and want something refreshing, balanced, and natural.
Chosen Name: Anu
Anu is the Celtic Goddess of healing and renewal. Your drink is designed to heal and renew the body before, during and after activity. It sounds like 'anew', which essentially your drink is making the body new again. This is a soft, sensual word that I think will resonate well with a female audience.

Well, apparently it didn't just die and go away after the bowl game like many people may have thought. According to an Associated Press report, Florida State has put its sports teams on probation for two years. About 60 student-athletes will lose all or some eligibility, and two staffers, a tutor and learning specialist, already had been fired.

Monday, September 9, 2013, Cleveland: Most patients who report statin intolerance, including muscle aches and other side effects from the cholesterol-lowering drugs, can actually tolerate drugs from this class on subsequent trials, according to research from Cleveland Clinic recently released online and forthcoming in the September issue of the American Heart Journal. The study is the largest ever to examine the effects of re-challenging statin-intolerant patients.
Statins are among the most prescribed drugs in the world and are a first-line, highly effective therapy for patients with high cholesterol, which is a major risk factor in the development of cardiovascular disease. Statins have been shown to reduce cholesterol levels by as much as 20 to 40 percent at the lowest dose level. However, in clinical trials, about 5 to 10 percent of patients have been reported as suffering from statin-related side effects like muscle pain and liver enzyme abnormalities, making them statin intolerant. In observational studies which often incorporate patients not typically selected for clinical trials, including older patients, more women, and those with comorbidities the rate of statin intolerance is as high as 20 percent.
In these patients, physicians often try intermittent dosing of statins, instructing patients to take the medication every other day, for instance, instead of daily, to reduce side effects.
Researchers, led by Leslie Cho, M.D., Section Head of Preventative Cardiology and Rehabilitation in the Sydell and Arnold Miller Family Heart & Vascular Institute at Cleveland Clinic, analyzed the electronic medical records of 1,605 patients who were referred to Cleveland Clinic for statin intolerance between January 1995 and March 2010.
Dr. Cho and her colleagues found that 72.5 percent of patients who were previously reported to be intolerant to two or more statins were able to take drugs from the class on subsequent t

26 Oct 1998: Mike Piazza of the New York Mets shakes hands with Mets Owners Fred Wilpon (R) and Nelson Doubleday (L) during a Press Conference in New York City, New York. Mandatory Credit: Jamie Squire /Allsport
Met fans talk a big game. We say that if the BLEEPITY BLEEPING owners don't give Sandy Alderson the money to sign David Wright and other players, that we're not watching a single game. The truth of the matter is: If you are reading this blog… you care about the Mets too much to ignore them through a season. The truth is that you'll complain until every message board but still end up watching, rooting for, and cursing your favorite team. Instead of a hyperbolic appeal to the owners full of threat, innuendo and puffery I've decided to try a more rational approach that appeals to the Wilpons on a rational level. There are plenty reasons that they should care about in terms of bringing back David Wright and R.A. Dickey and investing in the team. Remember, all things revolve around MONEY. Spend Money To Make Money: David Wright will cost the Mets a lot of money to retain. More money than his skills alone might be worth on the open market… but then again… probably about as much ...

Boars Head Lane was the name for the part of what is now Austin Street which runs between Bell Lane and Stoke Street.
The 1909 Ipswich Rates book lists the pub at 2 Austin Street.
The 1891 & 1901 censuses also lists the pub at 2 Austin St.
"After twenty years I have tracked down my grandfathers birth place. He was born in the Boars Head at Ipswich on the 27 Dec 1875. Needless to say family are very impressed he was born in pub. Interestingly when he grew up he worked at the same distillery that his father worked for on the river at Hammersmith."

Taking Altruism at Its Word in A Small Act
Director Jennifer Arnold seeks to uplift rather than interrogate her subjects in A Small Act, a new documentary that follows the work of Kenyan philanthropist Chris Mburu. Himself the beneficiary of philanthropyhe received financial aid as a child from Hilde Back, a Swedish Holocaust survivor turned patron, and attended Harvard on a Fulbright scholarshipMburu is on a mission to provide education for a new generation of Kenyan kids. But only some of them. Why his organization places such singular importance on one standardized test, which determines who can progress to secondary schooland who gets his moneygoes unexamined. Of course, he cant help everyone, but Arnold never pushes him to explain his criteria. Nor does she ask him where his foundations money comes from, or even simply why giving a lot of help to one or two kids is preferable to giving a little aid to an entire community of children. Arnold just expects her audience to accept that Mburus doing the best he can and revere him for it.

It's not known whether the incumbent, BBDO, will be involved in the process.
The airline has specified that it's looking for an agency with strong digital credentials, which can respond quickly to retail briefs as well as having access to strong Chinese and English copywriters.

Thanks to DiabloIIIChris for alerting us that Blizzard has added a few more new skill videos to the class active skills pages. Collating the skill videos with the previous two updates, here are the newly added skill movies or watch it in one nice single video:
As in the previous updates, the environments and monsters are often more interesting than the skills themselves, most of which we've seen previously, though several of these are notably improved in graphics since the early versions we saw in previous movies or Blizzcon panels, etc. Also note that these are all just the base skills, which you'll never use past the few levels when the skill is enabled, but no rune effects are yet available.
My personal favorite from this batch is Mass Confusion, since it's fun to watch the Fallen kill each other. Kind of disappointed in Fetish Army, though. Not enough of them, and they're way too slow of footspeed since they don't at all recapture the "OMG swarming me!" vibe of the Fetish from D2. Looking at the rune effects, none increase their movement speed, though you can up the number, or add Shaman as well.

Christian Schneider's blog was part of our Purple Wisconsin project. Schneider is a now a member of the Journal Sentinel staff.
The worst union in America?
Troy Senik has an outstanding essay in this month's City Journal magazine, in which he details how the significant political activities of the California Teachers' Association (CTA) have enabled them to thwart education reform. It is a story that may be very familiar to those in Wisconsin:
Fast-forward nearly 50 years to May 2011, when the CTA—now the single most powerful special interest in California—organized a "State of Emergency" week to agitate for higher taxes in one of the most overtaxed states in the nation. A CTA document suggested dozens of ways for teachers to protest, including following state legislators incessantly, attempting to close major transportation arteries, and boycotting companies, such as Microsoft, that backed education reform. The week's centerpiece was an occupation of the state capitol by hundreds of teachers and student sympathizers from the Cal State University system, who clogged the building's hallways and refused to leave. Police arrested nearly 100 demonstrators for trespassing, including then–CTA president David Sanchez. The protesting teachers had left their jobs behind, even though their students were undergoing important statewide tests that week. With the passage of 50 years, the CTA's notions of "good citizenship" had vanished.
The CTA began its transformation in September 1975, when Governor Jerry Brown signed the Rodda Act, which allowed California teachers to bargain collectively. Within 18 months, 600 of the 1,000 local CTA chapters moved to collective bargaining. As the union's power grew, its ranks nearly doubled, from 170,000 in the late 1970s to approximately 325,000 today. By following the union's directions and voting in blocs in low-turnout school-board elections, teachers were able to handpick their own supervisors—a system that private-sector unionized workers would envy. Further, the organization that had once forsworn the strike began taking to the picket lines. Today, the CTA boasts that it has launched more than 170 strikes in the years since Rodda's passage.
The CTA's most important resource, however, isn't a pool of workers ready to strike; it's a fat bank account fed by mandatory dues that can run more than $1,000 per member. In 2009, the union's income was more than $186 million, all of it tax-exempt. The CTA doesn't need its members' consent to spend this money on politicking, whether that's making campaign contributions or running advocacy campaigns to obstruct reform. According to figures from the California Fair Political Practices Commission (a public institution) in 2010, the CTA had spent more than $210 million over the previous decade on political campaigning—more than any other donor in the state. In fact, the CTA outspent the pharmaceutical industry, the oil industry, and the tobacco industry combined.
All this money has helped the union rack up an imposing number of victories. The first major win came in 1988, with the passage of Proposition 98. That initiative compelled California to spend more than 40 percent of its annual budget on education in grades K–12 and community college. The spending quota eliminated schools' incentive to get value out of every dollar: since funding was locked in, there was no need to make things run cost-effectively. Thanks to union influence on local school boards, much of the extra money—about $450 million a year—went straight into teachers' salaries. Prop. 98's malign effects weren't limited to education, however: by essentially making public school funding an entitlement rather than a matter of discretionary spending, it hastened California's erosion of fiscal discipline. In recent years, estimates of mandatory spending's share of the state's budget have run as high as 85 percent, making it highly difficult for the legislature to confront the severe budget crises of the past decade.
In 1991, the CTA took to the ramparts again to combat Proposition 174, a ballot initiative that would have made California a national leader in school choice by giving families universal access to school vouchers. When initiative supporters began circulating the petitions necessary to get it onto the ballot, some CTA members tried to intimidate petition signers physically. The union also encouraged people to sign the petition multiple times in order to throw the process into chaos. "There are some proposals so evil that they should never go before the voters," explained D. A. Weber, the CTA's president. One of the consultants who organized the petitions testified in a court declaration at the time that people with union ties had offered him $400,000 to refrain from distributing them. Another claimed that a CTA member had tried to run him off the road after a debate on school choice.

Most of the 22 South Korean teachers welcomed to the University of Iowa campus on Monday had never been to the United States before. But not Kim Yong Kik, who previously visited Chicago. He feels Iowa is "more peaceful." Kim, a mathematics and science teacher, will spend two weeks at the UI with his Korean colleagues attending a teaching workshop in which they will learn about the American approach to gifted education, the visiting teachers' specialty area. They will also share their experiences in their home country.
John Giammatteo, an upcoming senior studying Anthropology at Syracuse University, was a participant during fall 2009 in the University of Iowa's "Semester in South India" program in Mysore, India. As part of an academic assignment, John conducted a research project in the city of Chennai (formerly Madras) that involved interviewing refugees who had been stranded in India for years during the civil war that raged between separatist Tamil Tigers and the government of Sri Lanka. In November 2009 he also was a student rapporteur and participant in a workshop held in Mysore that delved into the problem of involuntary removal of rural populations in South Asia due to two causes: large-scale development projects and high-impact natural disasters. John is currently in Thailand completing his Honors Capstone fieldwork, researching with Karen migrants in the Thai-Burma border town of Mae Sot.
Gifted education practices are very different in South Korea than in the United States. "Gifted education is a far more established field, both for research and practice, in the United States," said Laurie Croft, professional development administrator with the University of Iowa College of Education's Belin-Blank Center. To share some of that knowledge and expertise, Croft is helping organize a July 18-31 visit of 22 Korean teachers to the UI campus and local community.
There's been a lot of buzz about the new Iraqi Educational Initiative, as well there should be. The sheer number of expected students—50,000 over a five-year period—would capture anyone's imagination. But coming from a nation that has been so marginalized for such a long period of time, the initiative can't help but make one stop and think about what an impact this could have.
Organizers for the "One Community, One Book" program have announced their selection of the book they hope all Johnson County residents will read in 2010: "Gardens of Water" by Alan Drew. The novel tells the story of a devout Muslim family and an American Christian family in Turkey during and after a massive earthquake near Istanbul.
UI staff member Helen Jameson uses her experiences from dealing with her dyslexia to help others find their creative paths to success. Jameson remembers reading aloud in third grade, struggling to make sense of a jumble of letters that were scrambled before her eyes.
In 1968, Jameson was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that manifests itself as a difficulty with reading decoding, reading comprehension, and/or reading fluency. Since this was before the time of accommodations, Jameson and her parents simply chose to have her repeat the third grade.
This longtime UI law faculty member's passion for human rights has resulted in humanitarian efforts close to home and across the globe. In his almost 45 years at The University of Iowa, Burns Weston has significantly shaped the way the University promotes international studies and global human rights—and at 76 years old, he has no plans of stopping. "I love it too much, what I do," he says. "Why quit?"

First Lady Michelle Obama urged graduates of George Washington University last weekend to go global. The Class of 2010 had just successfully met her challenge to them to dedicate 100,000 hours to service in the greater Washington, DC community. She challenged the graduates to take their experience to the world:
Innovation is not a new concept for The University of Iowa's International Writing Program (IWP). In operation since 1969, this project has turned into the nation's premier center for creative writing and has contributed toward transforming the UI into a writing university.
Most recently, IWP has begun a new innovative tradition in the "New Symposium," which met for three years on the island of Paros (Greece). IWP hosted a comparable gathering of writers and artists in Morocco from April 28, 2009 – May 5, 2009, in the form of a Souk Ukaz —a regional tradition of intellectual and artistic exchange.

About Flurizan(TM)
Myriad has two Phase 3 trials of Flurizan ongoing in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease. In each study, participants are taking 800 mg of Flurizan or placebo twice daily, and participants enrolled will have taken the study drug for 18 months. Flurizan is the first in a new class of drug candidates known as Selective Amyloid beta-42 Lowering Agents (SALAs). Flurizan lowered levels of Abeta42 in cellular assays and animal models. Abeta42 is the primary constituent of senile plaque that accumulates in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease. It is thought to be the key initiator of Alzheimer's disease, since Abeta42 has the greatest tendency to aggregate, cause neuronal damage and initiate amyloid deposits in the brain. Most genetic mutations that cause early-onset Alzheimer's disease appear to do so by increasing production of Abeta42. Myriad believes that Flurizan is the most advanced drug candidate that modifies the production of Abeta42 to be evaluated in a clinical trial for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

I had not been to Dahlonega before, and I found the Mountain Top Lodge on the web. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The food was great, everyone was really friendly, and even though I visited during the fall, when the weather was cold, I could soak in the beautiful scenery from one of the many windows in the lodge.

We found this lovely place by searching online. We were enjoying our visit to Dahlonega so much we began looking for a place to stay for the night and were surprised to find this little gem! The B&B is located a few miles away from the hustle and bustle of the shopping and restaurants of Dahlonega. We enjoyed the this quiet get away after a day on the town. The breakfast was wonderful and the innkeeper was so nice. We really enjoyed our stay and will certainly tell our friends and family about it.

We stayed at the mountain top lodge for a wedding we were guests at. Paul, the Inn keeper, was so pleasant and helpful giving us directions to where the wedding was taking place, and offering insight on great places to grab a bite and visit. The Inn is an older house, yet super clean and in great condition. The breakfast was really delicious throughout our stay, and Paul and his staff were very caring and hospitable; we felt part of the family. If you want a clean, cozy, quiet place to stay at a very reasonable price with great service, this is your place!
5 su marzo 14, 2014
This B&B is absolutely charming. It is perfect for a quiet getaway. The rooms are comfortable, and you truly feel you are a million miles away from your everyday life. It's like being at home, only better. There is a kitchen available for guests to use, as well as a TV loft and a library area. Paul, the innkeeper, makes a delicious breakfast each morning. He does the little things to make sure his guests are happy. The wood and exposed beam architecture perfectly match the wooded mountain setting. I would definitely stay here again!

My friend and I stayed for 1 night and found it a wonderful experience. Paul, the inkeeper was a great host. Would definetely stay again.

Due to parents' health problems, my wife and I had limited opportunities for vacations together this summer. We'd been through Dahlonega previously, and thought we'd like to see more. We liked Mountaintop Lodge's website, and when we saw a midweek overnight stay was available, we booked it. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Mountaintop, and would enthusiastically book there again in the future. Innkeeper Paul Carmody made us feel at home and treated us like family. We were the only guests in the lodge on the night we stayed, so we got Paul's undivided attention. The room was clean and well-furnished. We enjoyed access to the deck and the view it provided. When Paul learned I was a relatively early riser, he had coffee ready at 0700, and we had a nice chat as he prepared breakfast. My wife joined us and we both enjoyed Paul's breakfast. He pointed us to restaurant and winery opportunities. It was a really good experience.
5 su novembre 29, 2011
Being our first stay at a B&B, we did not know what to expect. Paul, the innkeeper, spared nothing to accommodate us. The rooms were beautiful and exceeded any expectations we had set. We stayed in room 9 (in the cabin) which had a great view of the mountains. We toured the rooms in the main house and would highly recommend each for the there own individual touch. Breakfast was very good with an egg and cheese dish, bacon, biscuits and assorted fresh fruit. Paul recommended some of the local restaurants and attractions and all were as pleasing as he had said. I would highly recommend and will be staying again.
4,4 su ottobre 16, 2011
Staff was very attentive and responsive to any need. Paul is a gracious and engaging host and knowledgeable of the area. Highly recommend. A charming and quiet location.

We stayed at the Mountain Top Lodge B&B for two nights in Dahlonega, GA. Paul the innkeeper was an excellent host. As soon as we arrived, he was waiting to greet us. He made us felt at home, very friendly, attentive and just easy to talk to. The location of the lodge was easy access to downtown about 5 minutes drive. Our room was nicely decorated and the bed was very comfortable. This room has a sunroom. This is the room to stay. It was a fantastic room. Each morning Paul and his wife made homemade delicious breakfast, fresh fruits and his French toast is the best. The second morning we had wonderful quiche. That was awesome. If you plan to get away for a week-end, stay at the Mountain Top Lodge B&B in Dahlonega, GA. You'll enjoy your stay.
5 su giugno 23, 2011
Mountain Top Lodge was fantastic and we will definitely be back. The accommodations are top notch, the breakfast is wonderful, the hospitality is second to none and the location is outstanding. I must compliment inn keeper Paul Carmody on his remarkable cooking and his ability to make you feel at home. We will be heading back to Dahlonega to send my son off to college in the coming weeks and I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else but Mountain Top!

Ok, I have made 2 wallpapers, one using Andy's SVG, and one without, using that idea of a wave like look. These are just rough workups, not complete works, just something to give you an idea of what I was thinking in going with Andy's idea. Please give me input on your thoughts, and what could be changed or fixed.
This also gives you an idea of what I can do in a short amount of time.

Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) 2015
The Institute of Medical Science (IMS) has an exceptional Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP). Dr. Vasundara Venkateswaran serves as the Director of the program since 2010. This program provides an opportunity for undergraduate B.Sc. and medical students to become involved in projects relating to biomedical research. Projects range across a broad spectrum of disciplines, from molecular biology and cognitive science to clinical investigation and bioethics.
Participants selected for the program spend 3 months in the summer (June-August) in a laboratory or clinical setting, working on a research project. During this time students are encouraged to participate in laboratory meetings, data analysis, journal clubs, and/or appropriate clinical research rounds at the affiliated teaching hospitals. In addition, the IMS offers weekly seminars rendered by eminent researchers from the University of Toronto.
The summer research program concludes with Research Day in mid-August where students are given the opportunity to showcase their research findings through oral or poster presentations. Highlights of the Research Day include several awards for excellence in research presentation including a certificate of participation.
The Summer Undergraduate Research Program is a wonderful opportunity and a great platform for students to work with distinguished faculty members, develop sound research methodologies and experience excellent mentorship. Click here for information about past year's programs.
Participants in the IMS Summer Student Program must be enrolled in medical school or pursuing an undergraduate science degree program. Undergraduate applicants must have an average of B+ Cumulative GPA (3.3/4.0 or 77%) or higher. Participants who apply for IMS funding must hold a Cumulative GPA of A- (3.7 GPA, 80% or First Class Distinction) or higher. Medical student applicants must be in good standing as determined by their school registrar.

A system and method for billing for interactive television (ITV) includes recording the content accessed by a consumer and the time of access to render an access record. The access record for each interaction with the ITV is stored in a consumer database. When it is time to bill the consumer for a period of usage of the ITV system, the access record for each interaction with the ITV system is retrieved from the consumer database. Access records which do not contain billable content are discarded and a billing list of access records that contain billable content is constructed. Accordingly, each consumer is billed based on his or her respective billing list.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to television systems.
2. Description of the Related Art
Televisions are ubiquitous, as are Internet computers. Currently, however, consumers typically purchase and use two separate systems to enjoy television and Internet access. Namely, consumers must purchase a television to watch television, and a computer to access the Internet. One result not only is that costs are duplicated and significant space is required, but also that undertaking both activities at once, in one room, can be difficult.
Moreover, the need for two systems burdens some consumers who, while familiar with operating a television and its remote control, might not be familiar with operating an Internet computer. Nonetheless, while perhaps not requiring comprehensive Internet support, such consumers can still benefit from advantages provided by simple, straightforward, intuitive Internet interaction. For example, many consumers might only desire easy access to a weather site or traffic site for obtaining up-to-date information before proceeding to work in the morning, without having to know a great deal about how to operate a Web browser. As recognized herein, it consequently would be advantageous to provide an Internet access appliance that is easy and intuitive to use, for instance one that could be used like a television remote control.
To the extent that attempts have been made to combine television with Internet features, the above-noted consumer needs have remained unfulfilled. For instance, in the system known as "WebTV", preselected Internet pages are loaded once into a television during manufacture and never subsequently updated, with the preselected pages being accessible through the television using a computer keyboard with its attendant complexity. Since the pages are not updated, however, many Internet-related features such as up-to-date traffic, weather, and news, are not immediately available. Instead, the consumer must access a central site using one of the preselected pages, and then be redirected to a desired Web page. In terms of currently expected speeds of Internet access, this consumes an undue amount of time. Furthermore, it requires browser or browser-like operations that must be initiated by a consumer who might only wish to turn on the television and immediately access up-to-date information using the relatively simple TV remote control without further ado.
Still further, current systems provide the same preselected Web pages to all consumers. As understood herein, it would be advantageous to tailor, for each consumer, what Web pages are provided in a television to that particular consumer. In this way, a consumer is much more likely to gain useful and enjoyable Internet access than he or she would be able to gain otherwise.
Additionally, as mentioned above, in the above-mentioned WebTV system, a keyboard is required for user input to access Web sites. For television functions, however, consumers are accustomed to using a much simpler input device, namely, a remote control. Thus, existing systems that attempt to integrate television and Internet computers do not do so seamlessly, but rather require the operation of two separate systems that happen to be housed together and that require two separate input devices. This complicates matters for the consumer, and is confusing. The object of the present invention is to address one or more of the above-noted consumer needs.
A method for billing for interactive television includes establishing an access restriction table for each consumer. The access restriction table includes plural virtual television channels representing respective Web sites and an access flag for each virtual channel. A consumer uses the interactive television to view both television channels and virtual channels, i.e., to access content provided by Web servers. Access to the Web content is selectively restricted using the access flags. Moreover, access records based on consumer access of the content are recorded and stored locally or at a system server. Entities are billed based on the access records.
In another aspect of the present invention, a method for billing for interactive television includes enabling a consumer to use a television to access content provided by a Web server and content provided by a television signal source. Access records based on consumer access of the content are recorded. Then, entities are billed based on the access records.
In a preferred embodiment, the entity is the consumer or an owner or publisher of accessed content. Preferably, access to the content is restricted using an access flag in an access restriction table that correlates interactive television channel numbers to Web site addresses. In a preferred embodiment, the access record is stored in a database at the television. Later, e.g., after a billing cycle, the access record is retrieved from the database and it is determined whether the access record contains billable content. Preferably, a billing list is constructed that includes access records that contain billable content. The entity is billed based on the billing list.
In yet another aspect of the present invention, an interactive television system includes a Web server, an interactive television system server, a television signal source, and an interactive television. The interactive television receives information from the Web server, the interactive television system server, and the television signal source. Moreover, the interactive television system server includes a program for billing entities using the system.
In still another aspect of the present invention, a method for billing for interactive television includes enabling a consumer to access content using an interactive television system. Access records based on consumer access of the content are recorded. These access records are used when billing entities.
The details of the present invention, both as to its structure and operation, can best be understood in reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like parts, and in which:
Referring initially to
In one preferred embodiment, the system 10 also includes an ITV system server 18, which can be, e.g., a Sony Corporation Web portal. The ITV system server 18 can be a Web server computer that accesses a customer database 20. As described further below, the customer database 20 can store customer or consumer profiles that can be used to tailor virtual channels to a profile. Essentially, a virtual channel is downloaded content that is given a number, like conventional TV channels, e.g., a channel number at the end of the sequence of available TV channels. A virtual channel, once its channel number has been selected by the consumer using a TV remote control device, is displayed as a Web page or series of Web pages on the below-described ITV. In one implementation, the content of the virtual channels is stored in memory that is on board the ITV and that is periodically updated via the Internet, or the vertical blanking interval (VBI) of a conventional TV signal. In another implementation, the virtual channel content is stored remote from the ITV, e.g., at a Web server, and is streamed real-time to the ITV via a high-speed Internet access connection.
The servers 14, 18 of the present invention can be implemented by any appropriate computer, such as Internet server computers, personal computers, laptop computers, mainframe computers, and the like. The servers 14, 18 access software to execute portions of the present invention.
Plural consumer ITVs 22 (only a single ITV 22 shown for clarity) access the servers 14, 18 via the Internet 24. Also, each consumer ITV 22 receives television signals 26 from a source 28 of television signals. The source 28 can be plural broadcasters, or a cable television company, or a satellite dish, and so on. A conventional hand-held television remote control unit 30 can be manipulated by a consumer as the consumer views a display area 32 of the ITV 22 to input various selections to the ITV 22 in accordance with disclosure below. It will be appreciated that the remote control unit 30 is not a keyboard or keypad that is associated with a computer. Rather, it is a conventional remote TV control that has numeric buttons, up/down and left/right buttons, and a power button, as well as other buttons that might be conventionally provided on a TV remote control. The functions of the remote unit 30 can also be undertaken by conventional TV buttons on the ITV 22 itself. However, keyboards, keypads, motion-sensing (gesture) devices, and voice recognition input devices can also be used.
Now referring to
As shown in
As mentioned above, not only can a consumer select a TV channel, but a virtual channel as well. In accordance with the present invention, a "virtual channel" is not a TV channel per se, but rather a Web-based channel that can be stored in a memory or other data storage 44 in the housing 34. That is, the memory or other data storage 44 can be computer memory, or a hard disk drive, optical drive, solid state storage, tape drive, or any other suitable data storage medium.
A microprocessor 46 is also supported in the housing 34 to execute the logic steps set forth below, with the microprocessor 46, memory 44, TV tuner 36, and switch 42 all being accessible via an internal data bus 47. The microprocessor 46 assigns channel numbers to virtual channels or otherwise maintains a table of channel numbers versus TV channels and virtual channels. Accordingly, when, for instance, an electronic channel guide is displayed on the display 32 of the ITV 22, the virtual channels are listed, typically at the end of the guide after the conventional TV channels, by channel number and by name.
Alternatively, the virtual channels can be stored in a location remote from the ITV 22, e.g., they can be stored at the ITV system server 18, for display of the channels (upon consumer selection thereof) real-time via the Internet (or other network) when data transfer rates are sufficiently high to support such real-time transfer. In any case, the ITV 22 includes a modem 48 that communicates with the Internet 24. The modem 48 can be a cable modem, conventional twisted pair wire modem, DSL, wireless modem, or other appropriate communication device. It is to be understood that a single high data rate cable (e.g., either wire or optical fiber) can be provided to carry both Internet data and TV signals.
In any case, the modem 48 outputs a signal to a mixer 49, which can mix the Web-based signal from the modem 48 with related signals from the TV tuner 36. For instance, if a virtual channel of a cable newscast is selected, the Web-based content can be combined with an actual broadcast newscast from the associated news station for simultaneous display of the newscast in a window of the virtual channel. The signal from the mixer 49 is sent to the switch 42 and thence to the display 32 when the user selects a virtual channel. The mixer 49 can be established by a "Geode" chip made by National Semiconductor. As mentioned above, one or more of the microprocessor 46, memory 44, modem 48, mixer 49, and switch 42 can be housed in a set-top box that is electrically connected to a separate television housing which houses the tuner 36 and display 32.
It may now be appreciated that the microprocessor 46 controls the functions of the ITV 22 in accordance with the logic below. The flow charts herein illustrate the structure of the logic modules of the present invention as embodied in computer program software. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the flow charts illustrate the structures of logic elements, such as computer program code elements or electronic logic circuits, that function according to this invention. Manifestly, the invention is practiced in its essential embodiment by a machine component that renders the logic elements in a form that instructs a digital processing apparatus (that is, a computer or microprocessor) to perform a sequence of function steps corresponding to those shown. Internal logic could be as simple as a state machine.
In other words, the present logic may be established as a computer program that is executed by a processor within, e.g., the present microprocessors/servers as a series of computer-executable instructions. In addition to residing on hard disk drives, these instructions may reside, for example, in RAM of the appropriate computer, or the instructions may be stored on magnetic tape, electronic read-only memory, or other appropriate data storage device.
Now referring to
When a virtual channel is selected, the microprocessor 46 retrieves the associated Web page from the memory 44 for display of the channel. When the content of the virtual channel is stored at a Web server 14 that is remote from the ITV 22 (when, for instance, the ITV 22 has high speed Internet access), the microprocessor 46 retrieves the associated Web page directly from the particular server for display of the channel. Accordingly, in the preferred embodiment the ITV 22 can directly access Web servers 14 other than the ITV system server 18.
In accordance with the present invention, the virtual channels are not simply Web pages that remain static for the life of the ITV 22. Instead, they are periodically updated as the underlying Web pages on the respective Web servers 14 are updated. Accordingly, the logic moves from block 54 to block 56 wherein a DO loop is entered at either one or both of the Web server 14 and ITV system server 18. This DO loop can be entered periodically, or it can be entered in response to a user-induced or automatically induced command from the microprocessor 46, sent via the Internet 24.
At decision diamond 58, it is determined, for each virtual channel, whether an update at the corresponding Web site has occurred. The determination at decision diamond 58 can be made by the server 14/18, assuming the server knows the current content of the virtual channels of the ITV 22 (normally the case when the virtual channels are stored at a server remote from the ITV), or it can be made by the microprocessor 46 (normally the case when the virtual channels are stored in the local memory 44). For instance, the server 14/18 can send information pertaining to the update to the microprocessor 46, which can then determine whether the memory 44 stores the latest version of the virtual channel under test. If it does, the logic loops back to block 56. In the event of an update, however, the logic moves to block 60 to download the entire new Web page or pages that establish the virtual channel or, more preferably to download only the changed portions thereof.
The download can be sent via the TV signal 26 in the VBI of the signal, or it can be sent via the Internet 24 (or other network) and modem 48 (by means of a DSL or cable modem line or wireless modem line) to the memory 44. In any case, the virtual channels are periodically updated.
Moving to block 64, the consumer's response is received. The response is ordinarily input by means of the remote control unit 30, although other input devices as discussed above can be used. Accordingly, a prompt might ask a consumer directly what types of virtual channels are of interest. Or, it might ask about the consumer's personal preferences on a number of topics, or about the consumer's personal demographics.
In any case, the response is stored in memory at block 66. Moving to block 68, the response is transmitted to one of the servers 14, 18 (typically to the ITV system server 18). The transmission is via the Internet, and it can be undertaken sometime after the consumer input is stored, e.g., during a low-usage time period. Alternatively, when the ITV 22 is continuously in communication with the Internet, the response can be sent immediately after it is received by the microprocessor 46, without first storing it.
Then, at block 70 a consumer profile can be constructed by the server 18 based on the consumer's responses, using models known in the art to predict what types of content the consumer might desire in the virtual channels of the ITV 22. At block 72, the profile is used to establish and/or alter the virtual channels of the ITV 22 by downloading new content via the VBI or modem 48.
Referring to
Continuing the description of the logic, at block 82 each consumer is enabled to choose a particular Web address by choosing a corresponding channel using the remote control unit 30 or by pressing a channel change button on the ITV 22. Continuing to decision diamond 84, it is determined based on a service-provider set access flag in the table for that consumer, whether access to a channel (i.e., Web site) of interest is available to the consumer. If not, the logic continues to block 86 wherein access is denied, as it would be in the exemplary table above for channels three and five. Then, the logic returns to block 82 where the consumer can choose another URL or address of contents. Thereafter, the logic continues as described above.
Returning to decision diamond 84, if access is available to the consumer, as it would be using the exemplary table above for all channels except three and five, the logic moves to block 88 where access is granted to the URL or address of contents of interest. Moving to block 90 the content accessed and/or the time of access and/or other information is recorded to render an access record of each consumer interaction with the ITV system 10. An access record can be implemented by a flag that has its bit set to indicate access. For instance, merely accessing a Web page might trigger setting the flag bit to effectively generate an access record, and/or an access record might be generated only when an advertisement appears or is clicked on by the user. At block 92, the access record is stored locally or remotely, e.g., in the consumer database 20.
It is to be appreciated that access can be restricted depending on the time of day the consumer is seeking access. For example, adult oriented content may not be available during the day in order to prevent access by minors. Moreover, access can be restricted based on a consumer identification number. In other words, consumers identified as minors based on their identification number can be prevented from accessing URLs, virtual channels, or television channels which may contain adult oriented material. Access can also be restricted based on the content provided by a particular URL, i.e., the consumer may decide to always deny access to adult oriented material regardless of the time of day or the user of the ITV system 10. In any case, the access flag can be dynamically set as desired based on a variety of factors including consumer identification, time of day, channel (Web site) type, etc.
Returning to decision diamond 104, if the access record contains billable content, the logic moves to block 108 where a billing list of access records containing billable content is constructed. The list is sent to a system server or other central location. Thereafter, at block 110 the consumer, the Web site owner, the content owner, or all three are billed according to the billing list constructed at block 108. It is to be appreciated that the above logic steps may be performed after predetermined period of usage, e.g., one month.
While the particular SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BILLING FOR INTERACTIVE TELEVISION as herein shown and described in detail is fully capable of attaining the above-described objects of the invention, it is to be understood that it is the presently preferred embodiment of the present invention and is thus representative of the subject matter which is broadly contemplated by the present invention, that the scope of the present invention fully encompasses other embodiments which may become obvious to those skilled in the art, and that the scope of the present invention is accordingly to be limited by nothing other than the appended claims, in which reference to an element in the singular means "at least one". All structural and functional equivalents to the elements of the above-described preferred embodiment that are known or later come to be known to those of ordinary skill in the art are expressly incorporated herein by reference and are intended to be encompassed by the present claims. Moreover, it is not necessary for a device or method to address each and every problem sought to be solved by the present invention, for it to be encompassed by the present claims. Furthermore, no element, component, or method step in the present disclosure is intended to be dedicated to the public regardless of whether the element, component, or method step is explicitly recited in the claims. No claim element herein is to be construed under the provisions of 35 U.S.C. �112, sixth paragraph, unless the element is expressly recited using the phrase "means for".

You do know that large portions of the ALCAN are hard pack and look very similar to my first two videos right? Also the parts that are paved are usually covered with loose gravel and there are potholes large enough to swallow an RV. I hope you have better luck with your GoPro than I had with mine. Mine never worked right and I had to fight with GoPro to get an RMA to get it replaced and then I had to pay for the shipping. Still waiting on the replacement camera. The videos that I posted were recorded with my 3 year old ContourHD (720p) that is held together with electrical tape but still works like a champ. Camera was attached to the right side of my helmet.

As the racing season comes to a close and thoughts turn from training to turkey and stuffing, the Joyent Endurance Team (JET) is looking to burn some calories in the California International Marathon and the North Face Trail Challenge races in their sights to wrap up what's been a stellar year so far.
The team, including some new members as well as some wonderful volunteers, raced and completed the 190 mile Ragnar Relay from San Francisco to Calistoga, CA. For most, this was their first 24-hour relay race experience. JET excelled, with our co-ed team finishing 5th in the Corporate Men's division, an effort good for 64th overall out of the 296 teams that finished.
Kudos also go out to Jason Hoffman for completing the Tour of Napa Valley ride, Jackson West for racing the LA Triathlon, Laurel Reitman for swimming the Tiburon Mile (in a blazing time), Chris Arisian for completing the Big Kahuna 70.3 half Ironman, and David Young and Brian Brown for riding to the top in the Mt. Diablo Challenge ride.
Congrats to all and keep on racing!

Salut mon cher Edward
Ahhh now this is the life! I'm trying to decide which cold drink I would have whilst lounging on this chair and looking at the view. A dry white wine I think. The photo is so simple, yet beautifully executed. The colours, shallow depth of field and reflections are simply stunning. A very artistic and evocative image, well done.

Hi Edward,
Or would "bonjour" be better suited? :) The simplicity of this scene sets a magnificent tone, I love the feeling of ease and calm. There's really nothing more needed to convey the tranquility of the imagery. I've tried to capture the same atmosphere with similar settings before, but have never come away with a result as good as this. Not only do the colors work in harmony, but the backdrop effect is a thing of beauty in its own right. Very well composed and presented. Bravo! Enjoy the weekend. All the best.
Warm regards,

Hi Ed
I think this one shows that you are a clever lad with a good mentality. Simple pleasures are my kind of thing. There's poetry in this one here. The narrow DoF is working well here and the low sun is spiffing.
We could have a nice chat there.
Well done amigo.
Cheers and have a great day.
PS well spotted, the airplane stripe reflected in the water!

Larkhall Athletic stage benefit match for manager Wayne Thorne
Posted: September 16, 2013|
Larhkhall Athletic are to stage a benefit match for manager Wayne Thorne, who is recovering from serious injuries sustained in an horrific car crash.
The match - taking place at Plain Ham on Sunday, October 6 - will feature current and former Larkhall players, as well as former team-mates of Thorne from Bath City, Weston-super-Mare and others.
The kick-off time is expected to be 1pm, although that will be confirmed nearer to the date, and entry is £5.
