Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll expects to have his starting cornerbacks available this Sunday in Chicago

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll wants his starting cornerbacks day in Chicago.

After that, it is anyone's guess.

Carroll said Monday that he plans to the Bear Richard Sherman and Brandon Brown hit this week, even though they may be faced with a four-game suspension for violating the NFL policy, improve the achievements of the possibility of drug.

Carroll did not say much in his regularly scheduled media availability, they tried to violating the league rules. However, his belief that Sherman Brown will be able to play the the potential Seattle this season's most important game.

"As of now, I am going to fight those guys," Carroll said.

ESPN.com first reported Sunday afternoon, after the the Miami Seahawks 24-21 loss Bronner Sherman faced the suspended solids and to make an appeal. The team said Sunday night, it knows that the report, and in accordance with the Union's collective bargaining agreement, players can continue to play until you hear appeals and settlement.

Is limited, it can be said that may ultimately suspended solids, and Carroll said he would not comment further until there are some solutions team.

"Because it is so important, we do this right, I will not comment on anything, this is the best way to do this, because this is the issue of the Union," Carroll said. "At this point, I want to keep it, and hope you can respect, we must do this way, we can talk about it later."

After Carroll's news conference ended with Seattle reporters in a telephone interview · Brown's agent, Peter Schaeffer, said his client only failed the test last week received notice.

, "Schaffer said:" Brandon Brown did not know how to get into his system, any illegal substances may get. "He is a good person, a good football player, he spent a great care of his body, he was very careful, he put it. Way we are exploring, trying to find any substance common in his system. "

Schaefer said, the the usual coalition plans to appeal within 20 days after the notice is received, as the case may be. He did not provide specific details Brown's attraction will occur.

"It is too early to tell what the witnesses and evidence, experts will be what is needed, so there is no way to even guess at this point," he said.

Sherman, an active participant in social media, posted on his Twitter account Sunday night after arriving in the Northwest Territories, "This problem will soon be solved, and the truth will come out, do not worry about . "

If Bronner Sherman was found guilty of violation of the policy of the Union, they will be in the fourth and fifth Hawks players offenders in the past calendar year. Guard John Moffitt was suspended for four games at the end of last season. Team reserve offensive striker Alan Barbre pause be released in the first four games before this season, once he was suspended. And just last week, rookie safety Winston Guy and handed a four-game ban after taking non-prescription products, there are the ingredients of a banned substance, according to his agent.

Does not affect those suspended Bronner and Sherman, with the Seahawks efforts to adhere to the final NFC wild card points, it can not be a worse time. Seahawks (6-5) and Lie Tanpa Bay and Minnesota, but hold the tiebreaker.

Seattle's defense is based on their cornerbacks play man coverage, and the ability of the receiver is locked. Sherman Brown makes strong safety Kam Chancellor to play at the line of scrimmage in run support, and the opportunity to provide free safety Earl Thomas roaming secondary with his speed.

Two Miss Seattle veteran Marcus Trufant and youth Trio - Walter Thurmond, Byron Maxwell and Jeremy Lane - to fill the point. Trufant is a start, until the injured in the 2011 season, Seattle has been hoping Thurmond will be developed into a key factor, but he has been plagued by injuries slowdown. Thurmond is an active game, a year after the start of the season, the body is unable to perform list.

"They have, especially in its effectiveness and its a lot of ways, we ask them to play it suits them very well, it is suitable for them has been a major factor in our way we love" playing ...... it how the future development of our players, when they get a chance, they can play a level and style, we hope, "Carol said." We still try and customized athlete and what he can do , they are able to do things, we have been looking at it so that we expect our play. Some people than others to play a little different, we have a pretty good guys fighting for our versatility, I think. '

British media ethics Leveson investigation released its final report until next Thursday
British Channel 4 Leveson asked about air Hugh Grant documentary

In British Judge Brian, Leveson Leveson investigation report released his long-awaited final on Thursday standards to the media, culture and morality, including newspapers may be more stringent regulatory proposals. The British government ordered the inquiry after the News Corp phone hacking scandal last summer, and celebrities - from Hugh Grant and JK Rowling to Charlotte Church - to speak in favor of measures to limit the media's excessive.

No matter what happens, the last Leveson report and the consequences of politicians and law enforcement officials come it will affect how Hollywood and other celebrities deal with their own future. It may lead to the debate in other European countries.

At the same time, Italy, the European hotbed of litigation, in the same day journalists strike to protest the proposed law will be imprisoned writer convicted of defamation, editors get off fine. Sentenced to imprisonment for up to one year, the maximum fine of $ 64,400 (50,000 euros). The media industry observers expect the debate and its impact is the local concentrated in Italy, but observers said it will continue to focus the power of the media and the role of another.

Thursday's event, however, the two countries after the recent debate, in other European countries, the media, celebrity news, some people have criticized the role of attack on the freedom of the press.

Recently even see the flagship news program of media criticism extends to the error of the TV news report news night after the resignation of the Director-General of the BBC, George Entwistle. But the criticism is not so much, because call for more regulation, but the part of the opposition.

Cardiff University Director of News Richard Sambrook, has a sub-text to say: "This criticism of the TV. "Leveson report to be newspaper publishers have been worried about the new regulations, which is why they attack the BBC so hard they want to say" see, strong regulation, but can still tighten, "he , said.

A lot of media chatter and celebrity attention, galvanized critics and defenders, the reporter, the whole of Europe are in Kate Middleton recently published in the journal, semi-nude in France, Italy, Sweden and Denmark, and Ireland newspaper, its editor has just announced his resignation.

The use of existing powers in a French court earlier this fall, it is prohibited to print topless photos, further distribution of the image, the first magazine. This also forced to abandon all digital copies of the photos in the magazine the threat of fines. Police even searched the photographer on the Closer office to look for clues, a move that has attracted criticism in some places.

Meanwhile, in Russia, but also reported that the new restrictions on the media, you can start by Alexei Mitrofanov, was appointed as the person in charge of the New Media Committee, the State Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament. So far, although no formal plans have been announced.

It is the Leveson report ongoing debate on the rules of the media, it may get attention beyond British borders and across Europe, so the degree of freedom of the press, media regulation and restrictions.

In addition, in many European countries, the power of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp phone hacking scandal has been followed. The results of the report is more than last year, like Grant, JK Rowling, Rupert Murdoch, his son and News Corp. Deputy Chief Operating Officer James Murdoch's British newspaper unit, Rebecca Gabe Brooks, former CEO of evidence.

Finally Leveson suggested that these proposals will include more stringent regulation, Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative-led government will be discussed in a telephone. Its coalition partners and the opposition Labour Party seems ready to support legislation to regulate, which means that the institutions established by the government oversight of the news. Cameron's party members even more stringent rules.

Statutory control will send a "shocking news" abroad and encourage the toughest system in the world, to continue with the anti-freedom of information policies in the World Press Freedom Committee, which limit the movement of the media, said in a letter to the British Foreign Secretary William Hague, British papers published over the weekend.

A chill will match some of the most liberal regime in various ministries around the world through the media - a warm glow, "it said.

The supporters of the more stringent rules, this criticism is exaggerated, the large newspaper groups also opposed to statutory supervision will help to improve self-regulation.

"A guarantee of democracy and a variety of news," News Corp. Murdoch said, in his Leveson witness earlier this year.

And David Hunt, President of the British Press Complaints Commission, a self-regulating body of newspaper publishers, is to be dissolved, the efficiency is not high after the phone hacking scandal, has urged the British government to avoid a full-on control media. "Part due to criminal activity, the publisher of a country, everyone, including local and regional news, threatened legal supervision," he said.

Sambrook expected Leveson sounded the alarm, but the final result is not too serious publishers. ", Leveson is likely to recommend some form of statutory supervision - is unlikely to push through the government," he said. "Newspapers may get another round of" last chance sedan, "Although the majority of the people are opposed to it."
