The bar was raised on LCD TV size at the 2007 International CES show in Las Vegas last week when Sharp showed a prototype 108in LCD TV, which it claims is the world's largest.
The 108in LCD screen measures about 94in wide by about 53in high. To place that in context, Sharp rolled out a 45in model in 2004 and a 65in model in 2005. The prototype uses a Black Advanced Super View Full-Spec HD LCD panel manufactured at Sharp's Kameyama, Japan, Plant No. 2, the first plant in the world to use eighth-generation glass substrates, according to the company.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
Saving Afghanistan's archaeological sites
101 East | 21 Apr 2015 08:32 GMT | Environment, US & Canada, Latin America, Afghanistan, Indonesia
The illegal trade in wildlife is thought to be worth at least $19bn a year, a sum rivalled only by the black markets in drugs, counterfeit goods and people.
But while drugs and people smuggling are seen as profitable but extremely risky, the wildlife trade has become increasingly attractive to criminal networks because it is not only lucrative but the risks are far lower. The animals caught up in the trade - assuming they even survive the journey - often end up as pets, traditional medicines or food.
The US State Department says trafficking not only undermines conservation, it also threatens the rule of law and is a risk to global health. The concern is now so great that the trade has been designated a new form of transnational crime.
For more than two decades, Anson Wong has been the internationally recognised "face" of the trade; the 'Pablo Escobar' of animal trafficking, according to some. The Malaysian's notoriety stems from 1998 when he was arrested by US agents after they lured him to Mexico in a highly elaborate five-year investigation that became a best-selling book, The Lizard King . He was later convicted for smuggling endangered species and sentenced to 71 months in prison.
When Wong returned to Malaysia, his permits reportedly revoked, and many suspected he had returned to the business. In 2010, those fears were confirmed when Wong's bag broke open while he was in transit to Jakarta to reveal 95 boa constrictors.
Initially sentenced to five years in jail, his term was cut to 17 months on appeal and Wong was released in February 2012, despite evidence of his involvement in other smuggling cases.
Once again, he is back home in Penang, Malaysia. And once again, the Malaysian authorities say his permits have been revoked. Since getting out of prison, new reports have surfaced of his return to the illegal wildlife trade.
101 East goes undercover from Madagascar, to Thailand, to Indonesia and to Malaysia in an attempt to follow the trafficking trail and to infiltrate Wong's syndicate.
Our journey starts in Madagascar with the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, an animal protection group that has spent decades trying to save the very endangered tortoises that Anson Wong has poached. There are only 400 adult Ploughshare tortoises left in the wild. And the fear among Durrell's workers is that they will soon fall prey to traffickers. The organisation's top representative in the country, Richard Lewis, says Wong to them is enemy no. 1, and all employees are warned to be on the lookout for him.
In Madagascar, we speak to Sarah Sahondrarisoa, a Malagasy woman who in 2010 was convicted of trying to smuggle endangered Ploughshares from Madagascar to Malaysia for Anson Wong. While she served eight months in jail, Wong has never been tried for his alleged involvement.
A man who worked for years with Wong, who we call "X", helps us see into the mind of the Lizard King and shares what motivates him. He also explains the routes taken by the Lizard King and his associates to smuggle valuable species from his favoured spots in species-rich Madagascar to Malaysia. He too confirms that Wong is still in business.
In Madagascar's capital of Antananarivo, we also come across Mario, the son of a presidential candidate, and an exporter of seafood and reptiles. He admits to having helped Anson Wong several years ago with a few shipments. Believing 101 East presenter Steve Chao is a reptile dealer, he offers to introduce Chao to one of his contacts. That contact produces samples - numbers of Radiated tortoises (the second most endangered in Madagascar) and promises that with the help of customs officials on-the-take, he will be able to ship hundreds at a time to a destination of Chao's choosing.
The ease of buying endangered species underlines how despite 40 years of efforts by the international community to combat wildlife trafficking, poachers and smugglers continue to get away with their crimes, aided in large part by officials in various countries.
In Indonesia, Daniel Tanuwidjaja, one of Wong's trusted distributors, claims he pays off wildlife and customs officials in both Indonesia and Malaysia to allow for shipments from Wong. He also says that the Lizard King continues to deal, and that Wong's wife is increasingly involved in the business.
Chao then flies to Wong's hometown of Penang, Malaysia, where he follows a paper trail of public records to various properties owned by the Lizard King, his family and associates. There he uncovers shell companies used to hide the illicit trade in reptiles, and also stumbles on a number of exotic wildlife awaiting buyers. Malaysian officials meanwhile insist that bans on his business and trading licences continue to be enforced, despite evidence on the contrary. It leads N Surendran, an opposition MP, to call for an official investigation into alleged corruption.
In the closing scenes, Chao, after a year-long investigation, finally tracks down the Lizard King and in a final confrontation, he presents to him the evidence 101 East has gathered.
Is the world's most notorious wildlife smuggler still at work? Share your thoughts with us @AJ101East #AJwildlife
By Steve Chao
You could say this investigative film was born out of failure - the failure of enforcement agencies, of international bodies like the UN, and the failure of the public as a collective to protect the world's most rare and iconic species.
This is the 40th year of CITES, an international pledge signed in 1973 by countries to save threatened animals and plant-life. Yet by all accounts, wildlife smuggling continues and is increasing at such an alarming rate, the UN has warned that over the next decade, more species than ever could be hunted to extinction.
Where did we as a global society go wrong? Why is it that despite growing awareness of the need to protect animals and despite the millions of dollars spent training customs and law enforcement agencies in various countries, poachers continue to empty the world's forests?
During our research, we received reports - almost daily - of shipments of ivory or of endangered species being routed from parts of Africa and Asia to customers worldwide. It was soon clear to us that this black-market trade of pets and animal parts was massive - estimated at $19 billion a year; and that it was only made possible with the help of government officials in their respective countries.
For this film, we wanted to put a face to wildlife crime. What we were told by experts and animal rights groups, was that it already had one - the notorious Lizard King, Anson Wong.
Known as the "Pablo Escobar of the Reptile Trade", Wong in 2012 was released from prison in Malaysia after serving just 17 months of what was supposed to have been a five-year jail term.
Sources told us that even while completing his prison sentence (for trying to smuggle snakes aboard a plane bound for Indonesia), Wong had continued trading in endangered species.
If true, it would not be that surprising, considering that - according to those previsouly inside Wong's network – during his first stint in prison for wildlife trafficking in 1998 in the United States, Wong had done just that; carrying on with his business with the help of his wife and close associates.
Still, would it be possible, that he would be back at his old game for which he has spent several years in jail?
Our investigation to find out took us to various countries, from Madagascar, to Thailand, to Indonesia, and finally to Malaysia. Posing as dealers, we got inside the Lizard King's syndicate, speaking to longtime distributors, to allies-turned rivals, to current-day employees. We presented our sometimes alarming findings to experts, who said that none of the Lizard King's present day operations would be possible without the complicit help of Malaysian authorities.
For many, it will feel a bit of deja-vu. The actions of the Lizard King and his accomplices have been covered extensively in the past in books along with documentaries. But again, that is the point. That in spite of the public scrutiny, in spite of past convictions, in spite of supposedly toughened laws against wildlife crime - little has changed.
Well, perhaps some has. Insiders say since being in a Malaysian jail, Anson Wong has lost his standing at the top of the reptile smuggling world. But he is fighting to regain his position - something we became keenly aware of as we hunted the hunter across the globe.
"This documentary reminds us of the scary and ridiculous predicament for wildlife: greed and corruption are winning over compassion and conservation. Kingpins like Anson Wong are getting away with robbery and murder because they can pay and because few officials and judges think wildlife crime is a real crime. Since the judicial system is not working to protect wildlife, the public needs to consider what action to take against thugs like Wong and others like him. At the very least, they should stop buying wildlife, even if the dealer says it was bred in captivity."
- Steven R Galster, the director of FREELAND Foundation
"TRAFFIC views recent revelations about convicted wildlife trafficker Anson Wong's post-prison life with deep concern and seeks a credible explanation on his apparent ability to continue trading wildlife despite government promises to the contrary .... If a news agency, with no enforcement powers and little access to information, could unearth such damning details, there is no excuse for government agencies with full enforcement powers not to do more and act on what they find .... The 'Return of the Lizard King' raises so many doubts and questions about Malaysia's commitment to that fight. It is time we had some solid answers from government."
- Shenaaz Khan, the legal and policy officer for TRAFFIC in Southeast Asia
"Traffic in endemic species is a major threat to Madagascar's biodiversity, accentuated by the political crisis in this country .... This is a supply chain made up of organised gangs operating nationally and internationally, facilitated by corruption .... The laxity of authorities is facilitating this traffic. Firstly, we see an unwillingness to identify practical solutions to stop the trade, instead, too often we hear that traffickers have been released because of a lack of proof, and agencies blame each other for not gathering evidence correctly. The second major barrier is ignorance: even those charged with applying the law have little knowledge of the regulations and laws relating to these endemic species."

And hear the band talk about the writing process of the track here:
The track is taken from their 2014 album "The Fateful Dark" released last year via Earache records. The follow-up to 2012's "Plague Of Conscience" was recorded at Grindstone Studios in Suffolk, England with producer Scott Atkins (AMON AMARTH, SYLOSIS, BEHEMOTH) and features artwork created by Peter Sallai (SABATON).
Get "The Fateful Dark" now from the Earache Webstore in Europe http://webstore.earache.com/savage-messiah
And via iTunes, including three bonus tracks
SAVAGE MESSIAH were picked by a panel of music industry experts to receive funding from the BPI Music Export Growth Scheme for European tour support and promotion/marketing in 2014. The grant itself caused a lot of controversy as to whether tax payers money should be spent in this way, especially on a heavy metal 'thrash' band. Following this the band appeared in a host of national newspapers, plus Sky News and Channel 4 news too.

UK thrash giants ONSLAUGHT have been announced as the final Headliner of this year's HEADBANGERS BALLS tour.
After incredible reviews for their latest album VI and a storming international tour ONSLAUGHT are a band that are once again ripping up venues around Europe. The thrash legends head up an eclectic mix of rock and metal at all day show at The Flapper in Birmingham on 6th December. ONSLAUGHT join headliners FLESHROT London 15th November, SAVAGE MESSIAH Manchester 8th November and BULL RIFF STAMPEDE Gloucester, 13th December in leading the four main all day shows making up this years exciting tour.
Andy Pilkington of the HEADBANGERS BALLS said "we're truly honoured that the ONSLAUGHT boys see us as a worthwhile cause. They'll be leading an already exceptional line up including main support act Beholder, Martyr De Mona, Warlord UK, Morgue Orgy, Left For Red, Reign of Fury and more. We're dedicated to making this show an exciting blend of old masters and newest talent from the area, following our blueprint in 2014 of showcasing the best each area has to offer."
The HEADBANGERS BALLS have teamed up with the BEARDFEST festival to host the Birmingham event. BEARDFEST will be helping to raise money for Teen Cancer Trust and with ONSLAUGHT on board as headliner, this is one event that will be a highlight of the metal calendar in 2014.
Earache Record's SAVAGE MESSIAH have powered their way on the European scene with a reputation for highly charged live shows, and will lead an exceptional rock lineup including Collibus, Babylon Fire, I.C.O.N, Line of Fire, and the immense talent of Massive Wagons among others. The show is in partnership with Viper events.
Death metal masters FLESHROT, newly re-formed for 2014, join a London show partnered with Chaotic Tapestry Management, who represent several of the bands on the bill such as Taunton's Flayed Disciple, Virus, Meta-Stasis, One For Sorrow and new boys on the block Reprisal. Also announced for this brutal billing are Morgue Orgy, and of course the hosts of the tour Reign of Fury. The show will cater for even the heaviest tastes and is sure to make it's mark in one of the best young music venues in London, Boston Music Rooms.
BULL RIFF STAMPEDE, one of the UK's hottest thrash metal properties, lead a Gloucester show at new venue OLYMPUS THEATRE in partnership with Nerva Events, bringing a much needed hub to one of the most vibrant metal regions in the UK. Reign of Fury will be playing to their first home crowd on a Headbangers Balls date, and with bands such as Seprevation, Lifer, and Hellbound this will be the biggest collection of South West talent seen on one lineup for some time.
The tour will also be teaming up with several local promoters to take in in several free warm-up shows leading up to the all day events, with bands like Anihilated, Collapse and Spirytus on board.
To date the Headbangers Balls project has raised over £12,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust, and this year has seen its supporters even more involved than ever with the Hairy Balls Challenge raising over £5000, and their Kickstarter Campaign release of the 2014 compilation album reaching the funding target it just 3 hours.

Metal Shock Finland's Utilifest Project partners at Scotland's LES-FEST have revealed that as well as recently announcing the change of venue for Les-Fest 3, they have also confirmed a number of new acts for the event to be held at Wiston Lodge in June 2014.
Top British metal band SAVAGE MESSIAH has been confirmed as the headline act for Saturday 28th June, completing a very strong line up of metal based music for that day. They will be joined on the Saturday by HOUSE OF X, a new name perhaps to many but a band with an impeccable history.
Organiser Dave Ritchie beamed "Yeah we are absolutely delighted to add Savage Messiah to this years event. We try to pick bands that we believe can bring a captivating performance to the stage and genuinely please people and if you like your "metal" these guys will not disappoint, with a new album imminent, expect something special, from worthy headliners."
But there is more Dave continues "We took onboard many comments made last year that the headline acts were on too late, so we are putting Savage Messiah on about 9.30 pm. However not everyone want an early night so we will finish the Saturday evening with House of X (For those that don't know, this is a band made up of ex members of UFO).
"As musicians they may all have that excellent pedigree, but having heard their forthcoming album of all new tunes these guys are much more than a covers or tribute act. The new material is excellent, but of course what better way to close of the Saturday evening than with some UFO classics sprinkled within the set too."
They will be joined over the weekend by Glasgow Progressive Metal band Epsilon, new British Metallers Stormbringer, highly regarded hard rockers Crash Mansion, and the "best kept secret in Rock'n'Roll, CURRAN.
"This continues our something for everyone policy with a broad range of rock and metal bands now confirmed from Death Metal right through to Classic Rock making Les-Fest 3 a must do music festival in the Summer of 2014"

EPOV (Edward)
School school school! What was not to like about it? The girls loved us, the boys were jealous, and we had perfect girlfriends. Who could ask for more? Our parents trusted us, and we always got perfect grades. If school didn't exist, then I would be so bored.
Me and my parents were sitting at the dinner table, and they announced news that shocked me. Dr. Carlisle Cullen and my best friends fathers worked at the same hospital.
"Edward, how much do you like your school?" Carlisle asked me in a no-nonsense voice.
"Um." I didn't know what to say. "Yes, I like it." He sighed, and looked uncomfortable.
"Edward, honey," Esme said gently. "We're moving to Forks, Washington." I froze, and dropped the fork that I was holding.
"Excuse me?" I whispered. "Are you serious? I'm leaving Stacey and my two best friends? What about your job?"
"Edward, this is about my job, I'm moving into a smaller hospital, and your mother wants to get out of the city." I was still shocked.
"And my opinion doesn't matter?" I hissed.
"Well," Esme said. "We have already confirmed that we were going, so it's a little too late now."
"Why didn't anyone ask me before you agreed to anything? This is what you always do to me. You make plans in advance that I don't know about."
"What are you talking about?" My father asked me harshly.
"All of those fancy dinners that you bring me too and the concerts. I make plans with Emmett and Jasper, and then you announce to me the following day that I'm going to a concert. And because of that, I have to cancel my plans," I said angrily.
"Edward, please see reason. This isn't the end of your life." I shook my head in disgust.
"No, it's not, but it's the end of my social life," I muttered. And then Carlisle did something that was unexpected.
"Your social life won't be ruined. Emmett and Jasper are coming too. Their fathers work with me, and were offered jobs at the same hospital, so you will be going to the same school." I suddenly felt much better, but then I thought about Stacey and my happiness left.
"And what about Stacey?" I asked them flatly. Esme hesitated.
"You can have a long distance relationship with her. It isn't that hard," she said. I glared.
"Stacey is very pretty, and she would get bored with emails and the phone. She would probably dump me in a couple days. And within minutes, she would have a new boyfriend." Carlisle sighed.
"Then find a new girlfriend. It can't be that hard," he said. I started laughing.
"Don't you know anything about love? You have to love a person first. It can be very hard," I said.
"Edward, I know what happens with you and girls."
"So what happens with me and girls?" I asked them dully.
"You broke up with a girl named Violet, and then after three days, you started going out with Stacey. Your relationship with Violet only lasted two weeks," Esme said calmly.
"Okay, that was only once. But I love Stacey, and would like to keep her as a girlfriend," I told them firmly. They exchanged amused glances.
"Do you remember Anne and Anna?" Esme asked with humor.
"What about them?" I asked her hardly.
"It was like what happened with Violet and Stacey." She chuckled. Despite my glare, my mother kept laughing.
"And what about Danielle and Daniela?" Carlisle asked. He had the same look of humor on his face that Esme did.
"And I remember Liz and Lizzie," my father said. They both laughed.
"Why are you torturing me? I was a good son who informed you about my love life. And so what if the relationships were short? It was love every time," I told them firmly.
"Yes, you're right. We were, and still are very pleased that you inform us of things like that. Not many teenage boys would. And are you sure that a two week relationship is love?"
"Of course it is," I insisted.
"Whatever you say. We're moving in two days," Esme said. I stared at them and didn't say anything. Two days?
"Can we ship my piano to our new house?" I asked them, almost pleading.
"Well..." Carlisle hesitated.
"You're taking my girlfriend away from me, and my piano too? That's nice, just nice," I said sarcastically. I caused them to laugh again.
"Of course, in fact, it's already being shipped to the house right now." I sighed.
"You never noticed that the tables were gone? We've been packing everything, including your room."
"My room?" I asked them incredulously. "You didn't throw out anything, did you?"
"Of course not."
"Good, I was wondering where all of my things were going. I'm calling Emmett and Jasper." And I sprinted up to my room and slammed my door.
As soon as I dialed Jasper's number, I got Emmett on the phone, and we had a three way call.
"Did you guys hear the news?" I asked them dully. No one said anything.
"Yes, my father told me about it," Emmett mumbled.
"And?" I pressed.
"What about Elizabeth?" He demanded.
"I asked them about Stacey, and they said that a long distance relationship would work. And guess what they said after?"
"What?" Jasper said for the first time.
"They started rubbing in my face about all of the two week relationships that I had, and how quickly I got another girlfriend after I broke up with the last. What the hell?" I said, irritated.
I heard them burst out laughing, and I got the impression that they were making fun of me again.
"What's so funny?" I demanded.
"You have to admit it Edward, you do go through girls pretty fast. How many girlfriends have you had in your life now?"
"Um, I can't exactly remember all of the names, but I think..." Jasper laughed. They weren't any better than my parents. Apparently the news that we were moving didn't affect them in the slightest.
"I think you've gone out with every girl in the school, and I'm not exaggerating. Everyday, I hear some girl going on about how wonderful you are, sometimes three," Emmett said. It was true that I had gone out with a lot of girls, but I wasn't a player. I had never dated one girl, and date another at the same time.
"Alright, I do admit that I've gone out with at least half of the girls, but..." I was cut off by Jasper this time.
"You call that love? You need some life lessons, you know that?"
"Thanks a lot," I said icily.
"No problem."
"Weren't we talking about moving?" The humor in Emmett's voice died instantly.
"Yeah, it's not going to be easy getting back to the social status that we have here. But I think we can do it," Jasper said thoughtfully.
"I did some research," Emmett said. Now it was my turn to cut him off.
"Research?" I asked him incredulously. "Since when do you do research Emmett?"
"Since today. Now let me finish. I went onto the schools website, and I think we might have to compete for the spotlight."
"Against who?" I asked.
"Three girls. There was a picture of them on the site, and they're extremely pretty. A lot more pretty than any of our girlfriends."
"What makes them so popular?" Jasper asked. Emmett kept looking.
"Apparently, they were all tied for homecoming queen, and I called Michael about it, and they're pretty famous. I sent the picture of the web to myself, and then checked my email on my phone, and set it as my back round." Emmett seemed quite pleased with himself.
"What about Elizabeth?" I whispered.
"She's going to dump me the minute that she finds out I'm leaving, so who cares?" He said, completely carefree.
"I thought we were in a war against these girls," Jasper said, confused. Emmett chuckled. I was in complete agreement with Jasper.
"Just take a look at them, will you." I automatically got on my computer, and put in Forks High into Google. The website came up, and I didn't see any beautiful girls.
"You call the male teacher on the front page a girl?" I asked him sarcastically. They both sighed.
"Edward, use your brain, it may be small, but it's in there." I growled. Emmett was starting to annoy me.
"Where do I go then?" He chuckled.
"Go onto the students' page. It's to the right. And you have to put in a password to view the student's page. It's 0145673FE." I followed Emmett's instructions, and then gasped.
Three beautiful girls were standing in the picture, smiling and laughing. But one stood out in particular. She had beautiful brown hair, and chocolate eyes. Something about her face made me stare at her; she seemed much more shy, but extremely kind.
"Wow," I said. "This is who we're going up against?" Jasper snickered.
"Yes," Emmett responded. "Beautiful, aren't they? Except one isn't as beautiful as the others." How could Emmett say that one of them was ugly? The blonde looked like a Barbie to me, but she was still beautiful.
"Who, the blonde who looks like a Barbie?" I asked him, confused. Emmett burst out laughing.
"You think the blonde looks like a Barbie? She's the most gorgeous one. She shouldn't be on a school website; she should be a swim suit model. You don't find girls like that in Seattle."
"Yes, she's pretty, but I like the..." Jasper cut me off.
"The one with the spiky inky black hair who kind of looks like a pixie is the prettiest. Sorry Emmett, the blonde is beautiful, but the pixie is cuter."
"She's short!" He exclaimed.
"So?" Jasper asked defensively.
"Never mind. You haven't spoken up yet Edward, except for your Barbie comment. So which one do you like?"
"I think the brunette is easily the most beautiful." There was silence on the other end.
"The brunette?" Jasper and Emmett asked me in unison.
"Why not? Do you see her mahogany hair? I would bet you everything that I have, that she spends at least an hour on it every day." They snickered.
"Who's that potato-head next to the blonde? He has her arm around her, and has his hair gelled in spikes." It was then that I looked at the people around the girls. Three boys were walking next to the girls, and had their arms around their waists or shoulders.
"No idea, but they're lucky, luckier than us," Jasper said sadly.
"Jasper, we're against these girls," Emmett said firmly. "We can't keep admiring them. And why do you like the brunette, Edward? She's not ugly, but both of the other girls are much prettier."
"No," I disagreed calmly. "She seems much nicer. The blonde looks like the queen bee, and the pixie is her follower, it's simple. If we're going to win against them, then we have to take out the strongest, and that is the blonde. Then we can eliminate the pixie, but we leave the brunette out of this."
"No, Edward. If we leave the brunette out of this, then we're not including the blonde," he said harshly.
"And if we're leaving the blonde out, then we're leaving the pixie out," Jasper said angrily.
"Guys, we don't even know these girls. It's like defending our enemies. They could be the most painful girls in the world. We need a strategy to take them all out, even the blonde," Emmett replied in a devilish tone.
"Fine," I said reluctantly.
"See you at school in two days," I muttered.
"Bye Edward." I hung up the phone, and sighed. This whole competition thing with the girls seemed a little ridiculous to me, but I always liked a challenge. I had mixed feelings on the issue, I was used to being admired by the girls, and the boyfriends were probably the most popular boys, and it would be hard if that changed.
2 days later...
The ride from Seattle to Forks had been extremely boring. I mostly just stared out the window, not thinking about anything. The brunette that I had seen on the website occasionally popped into my head, and I really wanted to meet her.
"Edward, we're here," Esme said cheerfully. We were going up a long driveway, and it seemed to go on for at least five minutes.
"I don't see a house," I complained. "Are we camping until we can buy a house? My piano won't do well in the rain, so there better be a good place to put it..." I stopped talking and stared at the house that was in front of me.
It looked like it was a hundred years old, and there was a small river nearby. The outside was painted with light cream colors, and there were three levels.
"Do you like it?" Carlisle asked. I just nodded, and stared.
"Why is the house so big?" I finally asked.
"For your many girlfriends." I glared. "No, just because we wanted a more open space. And there's a platform that's big enough for your piano." I didn't say anything, and just kept walking forward.
"Is it open?" I asked. They nodded, and I looked at the inside, and chose a room.
I had told Stacey that I was moving, and she dumped me the minute that I had finished my sentence; the same thing had happened to Emmett and Jasper. We had all agreed that the first way to get a good status was to get a girlfriend.
Following day (morning)...
My parents had given me a silver Volvo after we'd had dinner, and I was deeply grateful. The car was amazing, and went at very high speeds. I sped on the highway, and the drive was short to the school
I smoothly parked in the first space that I saw. Already, girls and boys were admiring the car, which was a good sign. Emmett was driving in a Mercedes and was looking for a spot. I saw Jasper coming on his motorcycle, and the girls stared at him in wonder. This was going even better than I had planned.
"Edward!" Emmett called to me. I stopped walking, and then turned around. "Let's go get our schedules, and dominate," he grinned.
"Emmett, wait," Jasper said. "Shouldn't we just get used to the school, and then plan. Do we even know what we're doing?" He asked curiously.
"Um, not really," Emmett responded. "I'm just making it up as I go along."
"Whatever, Emmett. I'm going to try and focus on girls," I said. I never had any trouble getting to know a girl. It was very simple to get who I wanted. Girls usually liked nice boys, and I smiled and asked about them instead of talking about myself.
"Have fun, Edward. That's a very good idea." After getting our schedules, we walked off in different directions to our classes. I had a class with the "potato head" as Emmett called him. He started glaring at me once he saw several girls staring at me. I smirked at him, and he turned around.
The teacher droned on and on about the Civil War, and I barely paid attention. All of my classes were boring, but then I walked into my Biology class. The brunette was silently sitting by herself and doodling. I could do nothing but stare; she was even prettier in real life than on the picture that I had seen.
"Sir," I said to the teacher. "Where should I sit?"
"Over by Isabella Swan, it's the only seat available," he whispered. I thanked him, and went over to my seat.
The girl looked up from her drawing and stared at me. She had a look of irritation and frustration on her face.
"Who are you?" She asked me in a rude tone of voice. A girl had never addressed me that way, and I glared. This Isabella was probably the queen bee to have such a snotty attitude.
"Your new neighbor," I said pleasantly, ignoring her cold stare.
"Great, I don't need boys next to me. I already have Tyler, so you can just give up and go somewhere else. I'm not in the mood for pesky boys today, so go away." I chuckled, and she scowled.
"I'm not the one who chose to come here, princess, so get over it. I'm sitting next to you, and deal with it."
"You're one of the rudest people I've ever met," she said in a snobbish tone.
"Hello," I said calmly. "I'm Edward Cullen, and I'm from Seattle." She hadn't really been looking at me, and then she saw my whole face. She gasped, and I gave her a smile.
"B-Bella Swan," she stuttered. This was the way in which most girls addressed me.
"You can be polite when you want to be," I remarked. She smirked.
"Yeah, and you seem to be spoiled," she said rudely. What was wrong with her?
"What have I done to get such harsh treatment?" I asked her playfully.
"Your presence. In other words, you are the problem." I simply laughed.
"That's funny, I didn't think that I was such a bad person, but you opinion doesn't matter to me," I said cheerfully. "Tell me something, what's so problematic about me?" She didn't seem to know the answer.
"What do you want?" She demanded.
"I don't understand your question," I said.
"You don't seem to want my attention like some other boys do." Her answer didn't surprise me at all. People like her always had people dreaming about them.
"No, I focus much more on school than girls. It's my goal in life to succeed," I said.
"Someone like you must..." She trailed off.
"Must what?" I asked curiously.
"Never mind. Do you want to sit with me at lunch?" I was taken aback. She was showing hostility to me before, and I had no idea why she wanted to eat with me.
"Sure," I responded cautiously. An idea suddenly occurred to me; I had to tell Emmett and Jasper right away. "Thank you Bella, I just have to talk to Emmett and Jasper, and then I can sit with you." The bell rang, and I ran away. I looked back at Bella, and saw her walking away.
"Emmett, Jasper!" I called to them. They turned around, and looked animated.
"What? Have you met the blonde?" Emmett asked.
"No, but..."
"And the pixie, have you met her?" They were both looking at me to say something about both girls.
"No, but..."
"You suck, Edward," Emmett said.
"Aren't we against them, not admiring them?" I didn't want to tell them about Bella right now.
"Yes, I still don't have any ideas. We're pretty famous already, but not at the top, they still are," Emmett said sadly.
"I have an idea," I murmured.
"You do?" Jasper asked me incredulously.
"Yes, we become their boyfriends," I said simply. Emmett stared at me, and burst out laughing.
"What good will that do us? We'll become famous because we're with them, and when they dump us, people will think that we're scum or something like that."
"No," I said, getting more animated. "We become their boyfriends, make sure the whole school knows, and then they get dumped by us. Everyone will think that they weren't good enough for us." Emmett laughed again, and Jasper snickered.
"I don't think I could have come up with something sneaky like that! I was thinking more along the lines of creating fundraisers for a good cause," Jasper said.
"What you just came up with is extremely unlike you Edward, did you have a brain transplant overnight? And we should do fundraisers anyway. I looked on the website, and apparently this school hasn't had a fundraiser for over five years," Emmett chuckled. "So are we in?" He asked hopefully.
"Yes," Jasper said.
"I guess," I responded. They stared at me.
"You guess? You're the one who just came up with it," Jasper said, surprised.
"Fine, I will. But I get the brunette."
"The pixie," Jasper said.
"And I get the blonde!" Emmett said enthusiastically.
"How do we start?" They both asked.
"The brunette already asked me to sit with her at lunch, so I'm going. See you later."
"How is it that you're already ahead of us, Edward?" I shrugged, and walked away.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 77 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by happy17 Easy to Use Product is so easy to use. This is my first heart rate monitor and I didn't have any problem setting it up and using it for the first time. February 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nikki FT4 I'm in love! Meets all of my fitness needs. This monitor tracks pretty accurately during Insanity workouts and during instructing Zumba classes! February 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JR86 For people who don't want bells and whistles I am SO challenged when it comes to these, so I was so happy to finally purchase this monitor. It is really, really simple to operate and makes readings easy too. It beeps a lot if you don't turn the beep off, but that's easy to do too. If you just want the basic details accurately (calories, heart rate, and I think calorie goals too), then this is the one for you. January 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MissFIT My new Obsession!!! I love this product! I am a licensed zumba/certified group fitness instructor and runner. I wanted something to monitor my calorie burn during workouts, and throughout the day to get a good estimate of my BMR. A few of my friends recommended I try this. Now, I don't teach a class, run, or train without it! The chest strap is super comfortable. You don't even notice you have it on. I like that it's based on your height/weight, etc. I let a friend borrow it for a half marathon, so I just set it based on her information. So glad I purchased this!! December 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Insanitychic Use to Insanity! Well worth the money! It's so cool to see how many calories your burn! Can't believe I didn't get one sooner! June 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mimi57 Women's Heart Rate Monitor This is a great heart rate monitor for the money. I use it in spin class, power walking and running. The band is slimmer, better fitting on a woman's wrist. It's easy to use and read. It does not have a GPS or distance feature but does display calories burned, length of workout, heart rate. I highly recommend it. June 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MB In IA Great Purchase I got this HR monitor for last Christmas, and I love it. I love that it tells me how many times I have worked out since the day I started using it! I love the calorie count. I do Ultimate Body Shaping, which is like a cardio/kickboxing/weights/trx class. I wanted to see how many calories I was burning and this works great! I love the pink color of the watch/monitor. I also find the chest strap does not bother me one bit. My husband liked mine so much, he got one for himself in the silver and black! Now my boss is getting one for himself and his wife! Polar should pay me for all the recomendations that I give and people actually purchase because of me! Anyways, it is a great investment, you won't be disapointed. April 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Christy In Love I absolutely love my new watch. It's easy to adjust and gives me the exact information I'm looking for. Heart rate, duration June 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jessica Love it I was a little hesitant to buy this heart rate monitor because of the price, and I did not enjoy the color very much, but I am so glad I bought it. I love being able to keep up with my heart rate and calories burned throughout my entire workout. I even wore it to work and I was shocked at how many calories I burned in a shift. (12 hr night shift as an ER nurse). May 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeanie T Great heart monitor! I wear it everytime I run! Love it! The only downfall I have is I have to enter all my data manually into the online data saver to show my progress because it does not come with a computer port! Thanks Dick's October 5, 2012

Broadcast 6.30pm on 22/03/2004
This story looks at other settlers - of the furry kind!What are Australia's worst feral pests? Mike Archer talks about Australia's most unwanted; including cats, foxes and cane toads.
GEORGE NEGUS: Finally, as migrants go, they outnumber the Chinese, the English and any other group that have made their way to our shores. They've certainly made themselves right at home, this lot, at the expense of the locals. MIKE ARCHER, DEAN OF SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF NSW: In the carnivore zone, cats and foxes have done immeasurable damage to the continent. And add such strange things as cane toads. There's just a litany of these introduced species that have just damaged Australia, possibly, in many cases, irreparably. Before the cat was introduced to Australia and all these other horrors that we felt appropriate to bring in, Australia was filled with all sorts of special animals that adapted to particular niches. There were medium-size flesh-eating mammals. There were the quolls. And I've kept one of these as a pet for five years, a western quoll. I can tell you they are infinitely better as a pet than any cat or dog I have ever known anybody to have. They are obsessive users of kitty litter boxes. They are so clean. They stay like a kitten all their life. The problem with a kitten is that it grows up to be a cat. Well, these things don't do that. They have declined since cats were brought in. And now the toads have been brought in, which has a poison that acts on the gastrointestinal tract, kills any quoll that dares take a bite of it. And quolls instinctively will eat a frog. So we're losing quolls in many parts of Australia because of these introduced species. I do regard it to be probably enemy number one because it's not only out there in the bush doing lots of damage, but it's in the cities, bonding people to the propriety of cats. I mean, you can get prizes for raising cats, you know. It should be called a CAT-astrophe, actually. If you dare to raise a native animal, and I've kept sugar gliders... And this is ridiculous, isn't it, that in America, there are more sugar gliders are kept as pets than are in the wild in Australia. They call them 'pocket pets' and they love them. Yet, do that here in Australia, you'd be thrown in jail. This is nuts! So we have to turn that around and cats are the common denominator. Of all the animals that I've kept as pets that have been brought to me, principally when I was curator of mammals in the Queensland Museum, they were mostly animals damaged by cats. Running a closer second than the dog actually would be the fox. That's another story. But the fox also transmits toxoplasmosis. And this is why we're so terrified that the fox now appears to have been introduced to Tasmania. NEWSREADER: The Derwent Valley town of Hamilton in Tasmania's south was the focus of an all-night vigil last night after reported fox sighting. MIKE ARCHER: And suddenly, some moron introduces foxes to Tasmania, putting at risk all of those last populations of so many different kinds of species. So foxes have to be treated as seriously as cats. They are there. They're all around every capital city. And more importantly, however, they're in the bush. They will eat literally anything. They're in the dog family. So they have that same inclination to be omnivorous. Anything that has the remote bit of nutrient in it, they'll gobble up. Numbats, for example - this is an endangered Australian marsupial in WA - used to be across the whole southern part of the continent. But cats and foxes took their toll, land clearing as well. And eventually, numbats were only in Dryandra Forest in south-western WA. There is an army of very sad, morose-looking little animals that you can only find now in jars in museums with their little white noses pressed against the glass. They watch us carefully with our thylacine project where we're trying to bring back an extinct animal. You can almost hear them with their little fingers crossed in those alcohol jars, hoping that that succeeds because all those species never should have gone. They were all our fault. There are a lot of scientists now quite keen to explore these issues. I think basically we have to politely say to animal liberationists and people like that who think it's not appropriate to take out any animal, you know, "Please, take a deep breath, sit down, and understand that what we're trying to do here is find ways of controlling animals that are taking infinitely more lives of other animals through their very presence." So on balance, we're looking to increase diversity of living creatures by trying to manage the ones that are a problem. But first, we've got to want to do it and that means we've got to want to value Australian things. So that's an educational thing, that's an experiential thing. That's the first program we're involved in now, getting people committed to looking after Australia, because nobody else is going to do it if we don't. GEORGE NEGUS: I get the impression Mike Archer's not all that keen on moggies. It's a debate that has to be had, though - animal liberation versus the danger of ferals like cats and foxes taking over. Bring it on, I say.

Review for Village Network, Smithville, OH, USA
The Village Network is an asset to the Wayne County area. I am aware of multiple cases of community youth not finding success in a traditional academic environment but were able to attend and GRADUATE from TVN's educational program. Without TVN, these students would not have graduate and likely have been a drain on the welfare system. TVN stuck by these kids when everyone else had given up. These students now have the opportunity to break the welfare cycle in their families.

The $11 billion Los Angeles City Employees Retirement System this month committed $10 million to a pair of $300 million buyout funds.
According to minutes from the system's meeting on Dec. 11, LACERS is allocating $5 million to the Relativity Fund, a women-owned, first-time fund. The New York-based p.e. fund is looking to raise up to $300 million in invest in growth and distressed companies within North America.

Most Helpful
Yummy soup on a chilly night! Used chipotle powder instead of red pepper. Halved the recipe and used red lentils. Delish! Thanks breezermom!
Very nice soup! This has a nice, thick texture and plenty of flavor from the seasonings. The combination of vegetables was very nice. Thanks for sharing!
This didn't work out so great for me. I halved the recipe and had to keep adding liquid, and in the end it was really a thick stew. Also, there wasn't enough seasoning/flavor for me. Thanks for taking the time to post the recipe, this just wasn't what I was looking for. .

There are about 6,000 hatchery origin chinook predicted to return to the Icicle, said WDFW district fish biologist Travis Maitland of Wenatchee. Thats well beyond levels needed to fulfill hatchery broodstock requirements, so there should be a lot of fish available for harvest.
The Icicle salmon season runs through July 31. The Wenatchee season could close earlier, depending on harvest rates, and anglers are encouraged to check on the status of the fishery frequently. Both havea daily limit of two adipose fin clipped spring chinook (adult or jack), minimum size 12 inches. All details are in the emergency rule change.
June is usually a good month to fish Banks Lake, the Columbia River reservoir that stretches from Coulee City at the south to Electric City at the north. Both smallmouth and largemouth bass are available, along with rainbow trout, walleye, kokanee, yellow perch, and black crappie.
Potholes Reservoir, south of the city of Moses Lake in Grant County, and Moses Lake right in town, are also good spots for smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing this month. Walleye fishing at both of these big waters can also be good in June.
Youth fishing events are scheduled this month in Douglas and Okanogan counties. The Bridgeport Days kids fishing derby is June 6 on Bridgeport Lagoon; call the City of Bridgeport at (509) 686-4041 for more information. Bonaparte Lake in Okanogan County is the scene of a kids fishing event on June 13; call the U.S. Forest Services Tonakset Ranger District office at (509) 486-2168 for more information. June 13 is also the date for the Winthrop kids fishing day; contact the Winthrop National Fish Hatchery at (509) 996-2424 for more information.
Newcomers to fishing have a chance to try out the sport during Free Fishing Weekend, June 6-7. During those two days, no license will be required to fish or gather shellfish in any waters open to fishing in Washington state. No vehicle access pass or Discover Pass will be required during Free Fishing Weekend to park at any of the nearly 700 water-access sites maintained by WDFW.
Free Fishing Weekend is a great time to for anglers to introduce friends or family to the sport, said Chris Donley, WDFW inland fish program manager. Its also a good time for those anglers who have not taken up a rod and reel in years to get back into it.
