Happily retired Curtis Martin dashing toward NFL ownership
Curtis Martin is running again. This time, he's not restricted to a rectangle. He's finally free, able to go anywhere at any time, chasing instead of being chased. It's his new life, the life he always wanted, and he's going after it hard. He's up at dawn, eating a blueberry muffin and whipping up a fruit smoothie in his blender - mango, bananas, strawberries, dates and orange juice. Freshly squeezed, of course. He's studying the business pages and the Internet. Stopping by city hall to huddle with Mayor Bloomberg's honchos. Shopping for groceries with the homeless. Flying around the country in a private jet to meet with powerbrokers. Dating a supermodel. Working up a serious sweat in the boxing ring, his new passion. "It's like I have access to a whole new world, a world I disciplined myself away from when I played football," says Martin, who retired in July as the NFL's fourth all-time leading rusher.

SayHeyHey: Online dating gets video site
PALO ALTO, Calif. — Many online dating sites seek to connect soul mates, to bring together those looking for eternal and everlasting love. The latest Internet dating site, recently launched in Palo Alto, is not one of them. "It's not about marriage," said Alex Gurevich, co-founder of SayHeyHey.com, the first free all-video online dating site. The new site eschews the typical format of online dating sites where users carefully word profiles and post photos "from 10 years and 20 pounds ago," Gurevich said. Instead, users of SayHeyHey post videos of themselves talking, wakeboarding or — in co-founder Soudy Khan's case — utilizing a beer bong. If a visitor is interested in someone else's clip, he or she can send a video introduction.
VIP - KELLER: Y... 2... Sequel - Can Jericho live up to the hype and ...
Chris Jericho got the best type of return anyone could ask for. He received weeks of build - up (or was it months?) with mysterious, cryptic videos. He walked onto the stage with a massive special effects show with a new video, remixed music, and plenty of time to soak up cheers. He also happened to be immediately booked against the World Champion and top heel, Randy Orton. Can Jericho live up to the hype? Part of that he has control over, part of it he doesn't. There are people in high positions in WWE who aren't sold on him being a full - time top tier player to build around. There are doubts about his height, his promos, his in - ring style that some believe limits him to a second tier role with occasional visits into main events. Nobody in WWE can be picky at this point, though, with the roster depth what it is.
Can robots commit war crimes?
The idea of a robot being charged with murder raises provocative questions about punishment and the fairness of such measures. Elliot did not back down from taking other hard stances on issues. He made it clear that currently there was a clear legal burden for humans choosing to deploy systems lacking in sufficient judgment. He stated, "Weapons intrinsically incapable of distinguishing between civilian and military targets are illegal." Elliot stated that robots should only be allowed to autonomously wage war when they pass a "Military Turing Test." He explains, "That means an autonomous system should be no worse than a human at taking decisions [about valid targets]." The original Turing test, developed by computer pioneer Alan Turing, states that if a human is unable to tell in a conversation with a robot and a real human, which is the man and which is the machine, then the robot conversing with the human has achieved intelligence.
Labor will dump F1 Grand Prix in 2010: Jeff Kennett
Mr Kennett, who was instrumental in snaring the race from South Australia in 1996, said he believed that the Victorian Government would not pursue holding the event once the current contract expired. "I do believe that the Labor Government are (sic) preparing to end Melbourne's involvement with the grand prix after this current contract finishes," Mr Kennett told Southern Cross Broadcasting. "My bet will be that the Labor Government will renege on this contract in 2010," Mr Kennett said. A report tabled in state parliament yesterday showed that Melbourne's Formula One Grand Prix ran at a $34.6 million loss. The grand prix report showed revenue decreased from $47.5 million in 2006 to $43.4 million this year. "I understand the auditor-general's concerns about costs, but it is only one part of the ledger.
International Olympic Committee Strips Marion Jones of 5 Sydney ...
The International Olympic Committee also banned the disgraced American athlete from attending next year's Beijing Olympics in any capacity and said it could bar her from all future games. Jones had already handed back the three gold medals and two bronze she won at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Last month, the International Association of Athletics Federations erased all of Jones' results dating to September 2000, but it was up to the IOC to formally disqualify her and erase her Olympic medals. The decision was announced by IOC president Jacques Rogge at the end of a three-day executive board meeting. Jones won gold medals in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 1,600-meter relay in Sydney, and bronze in the long jump and 100-meter relay. She was the first female track and field athlete to win five medals at a single Olympics.
Road-Warrior Sharks Beat Slumping Red Wings, 3-2
I know it popped up somewhere, didn't know where," Setoguchi said. "The next thing I know it comes down on my stick and I put it in." The rookie wing, recalled Thursday from the minors, scored for the third time this season in his initial game after being called up. "Every time we bring him up, he's a little bit more of a professional," Wilson said. "Let's hope he doesn't have to go back down." Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said it was unfortunate the officials didn't stop the play when the puck cleared the glass. "It hit the net, rolled down the boards and rolled out in front," Babcock said. "When you look at the video, it seems real obvious." Detroit defenseman Brad Stuart, acquired from Los Angeles just before Tuesday's trading deadline, made his debut and provided the hard-hitting presence the Red Wings' depleted blue line needs.
