The NFL Scouting Combine is a place for making good impressions, but it's also the birthplace of annual blunders. While it's easy to point at foolishly high picks that stem from individual performances, the mysterious slipups of the combine are not limited to just teams.
Executives and players alike have mishandled the event in numerous ways over the years. Teams can get carried away with a time or number, while players can hurt their stock through the omission of important drills.
That's one of the great things about the event. As much strategy as there is to it, and as seriously as each party takes it, nobody is exempt from letting the week of workouts and interviews bite them in the ear.
Here are some of the cautionary tales of combines past:
The combine is a great and very telling event when it comes to strength and athleticism, but there's more to a player's worth at the next level than strength and athleticism. A workout isn't everything.
[There are probably a few executives who could have written that last sentence on a chalkboard a few hundred times.]
You almost feel bad for a player when it happens. A guy who isn't the greatest prospect goes to the combine and crushes it. Rather than simply being celebrated for the minor achievement, some players see their stock rise astronomically to point where they end up being selected so high that nothing on their résumé suggests they could live up to the billing. Of course, the players get labeled as "busts" when they had no business being drafted that high in the first place.
The two biggest cases that come to mind involve a recent receiver and local defensive lineman. Yet when it comes to determining which disaster was worse between Darrius Heyward-Bey and Mike Mamula, the latter might take the cake.
During his junior year at Maryland, Heyward-Bey was considered a second-round prospect capable of sneaking into the first round based on upside. He wasn't in the greatest of passing offenses and was not a very good route-runner, but he had decent size and great speed, and it was not much of a surprise when he was timed in the high 4.2's and low 4.3's in the 40 yard dash at the combine.
That was just supposed to be part of the package with Heyward-Bey. He wasn't a great college receiver, he had things he had to work on before he could be a serviceable NFL receiver, but he was very fast, and for that reason he would be worth a second-round flier.
For the Raiders, he was worth the seventh overall pick. Oakland selected him ahead of both Michael Crabtree and Jeremy Maclin. Heyward-Bey has produced very little at the NFL level, finishing 10th and fourth in Raiders receptions in his first and second years, respectively. Considering that he's just two years into his career, the 23-year-old has time to shake the label as a sprinter playing football.
By comparison, the Raiders can at least consider themselves lucky that they didn't give up more to get their workout warrior. The same can't be said for the Eagles in 1995.
Things seemed to be going the right way for Mamula in his senior year at Boston College. After being moved to the line from outside linebacker, the New York native had 17 sacks in his senior yea. Despite his big numbers in his final year of college ball, his stock didn't explode until he did 26 reps of 225 pounds at the Combine.
Enamored with his strength as a pass-rusher, the Eagles traded a pair of second-round picks to the Buccaneers in order to move up from 12th overall to seventh overall and secured their man.
Mamula's career would only last six seasons due to injuries, and while he didn't play anywhere near the level of what a team would probably expect from a seventh overall pick, he did have a couple of good seasons (eight and eight and a half sacks in 1996 and 1999, respectively).
Still, the Eagles probably would have liked to hold onto the picks they gave up to take him. The Bucs took Warren Sapp 12th overall and used the second-rounders acquired in the deal to move up to the Cowboys' spot in the first to take Derrick Brooks. Sapp and Brooks would combine for 18 Pro Bowl selections.
Just as much as teams are supposed to come out of the combine knowing more about players, players are supposed to do everything they can to be in teams' good graces. The combine is a nationally celebrated cherry on the top of a player's college career, and one that is taken seriously on both sides.
Players have every right to be worried about hurting their stock, and often times top prospects, such as first-round quarterbacks, will sit certain drills out to avoid damaging a high very high grade.
Note to non-top prospects: do not think teams will consider you elite because you conceal things they need to see. Presenting the Dan LeFevour story.
With top quarterback prospects Sam Bradford, Jimmy Clausen, Colt McCoy, and Tim Tebow not throwing for various reasons at the 2010 combine, many figured that LeFevour, a standout dual threat quarterback at Central Michigan who was named the most outstanding player of the North squad in the Senior Bowl and held the FBS record for total touchdowns with 150, would use the combine to boost his already rising stock and potentially force his way into the second round discussion.
LeFevour would do no such thing. He chose against throwing, citing his preference to use his own receivers at his Pro Day, and he was criticized for it. He didn't handle questions about his decision well, defensively saying something to the effect of, "I like to think I already am one of the top quarterbacks" when multiple reporters asked him if he felt a good performance in Indianapolis would have made a him one of the class' top quarterbacks.
With LeFevour not throwing, lesser prospects such as Tony Pike and John Skelton were focused on in Indianapolis. The end result? LeFevour ended up being the ninth quarterback off the board on draft day, waiting until the sixth round to be selected 181st overall by the Bears. Among the signal-callers taken before him were Skelton (155th) and Jonathan Crompton, the latter of whom was waived by the Chargers before being signed to the Patriots' practice squad.
LeFevour didn't stick with the Bears, as they waived him after three preseason games. He is now with the Bengals. At the end of the day, maybe LeFevour simply wasn't a very good prospect in the first place, but he really missed at a big opportunity to help his pre-draft case.
At least LeFevour made his decision known and dealt with the backlash that came with it. The same couldn't be said for Maurice Clarett, as the 2005 combine saw the the troubled running back succumb to all that was plaguing his football career.
Clarett and USC receiver Mike Williams both ended up in limbo whe they tried declaring for the 2004 NFL draft despite not being three years removed from high school. Because they couldn't play in the NFL or college (they had hired agents) it was anticipated that their stocks would take a big hit in 2005.
Such wasn't the case for Williams. He was considered a first round prospect and got scooped up by the Lions with the 10th overall pick, a marriage that proved to not work out. Clarett seemed to have a tougher road ahead of him, and his actions at the combine made it a tougher climb.
After posting very sluggish times in the 40 yard dash (4.72 and 4.82), Clarett threw in the towel out of frustration. He skipped the rest of his workouts, and many wondered whether he would even be drafted when all was said and done.
The Broncos shocked the world when they made him the last pick of first day (which back then consisted of the draft's first three rounds). The 101st pick of the draft, Clarett famously chose to take a deal without a signing bonus, instead inking a pact that would pay him $7 million in the first four years if he reached certain incentives.
The Broncos ended up releasing him free of charge before the season, and no other team vied for his services.

Universal Credit switchover to miss 2017 deadline
The switchover to the Government's flagship Universal Credit system will not be fully completed by the 2017 deadline, the Department of Work and Pensions has said.
The switchover to the Government's flagship Universal Credit system will not be fully completed by the 2017 deadline, the Department of Work and Pensions has said.
Universal Credit, the new single payment for people who are looking for work or on a low income, will be rolled out throughout 2013 and will replace benefits such as:
Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, the unemployment benefit paid by the government to people who are unemployed and seeking work.
Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) - for the ill or disabled, ESA offers financial support if you're unable to work or personalised help so that you can work if you're able to.
Income Support - for people with no income or a low income who are working less than 16 hours a week and haven't signed on as unemployed.
Child Tax Credit - can be claimed for each child you're responsible for if they're under 16 or under 20 and in approved education or training.
Working Tax Credits - you could qualify if you're aged 16 or over, work a certain number of hours a week, you get paid for the work you do (or expect to) but your income is below a certain level.
Housing Benefit - to help you pay your rent if you're on a low income.
The significant development came after a forensic re-examination of a palm print left on a getaway vehicle.

ITV Player on Sky Anytime+ pictures and hands-on
On Monday, Sky announced that it would be bringing ITV's catch-up service, ITV Player, to its Anytime+ service on Sky boxes. And true to its word, the company has done just that. But what's it like? Pocket-lint has checked out the new offering...
If you thought that the deal would mean a flashy new interface for Sky, or massive amounts of branding for ITV across Sky's Electronic Programme Guide (EPG), think again.
ITV Player is currently buried in the Sky Anytime menu under the Channels section of Anytime+, next to other offerings from channels like Sky and Watch. Selecting the new ITV Player option in the menu gives you a list of ITV programmes in a same "All" list menu system Sky customers will be familiar with. And, our box hasn't even made any effort to "picture" feature the options.
Around 20 shows are currently listed with some of those offering the whole series - as with Cold Feet and Series 1, for example.
Select what you want, press record and the Sky Anytime+ service does what it always does - starts the download and then notifies you when it is ready to watch.
Not very sexy, but it does stay in-keeping with the current offering rather than introducing something new, and does mean you can now catch up on your favourite ITV shows in the future.
What will be interesting is if the BBC will be happy to opt for the same approach with the iPlayer when it launches in the next couple of months. It's been particularly protective over its brand identity in the past, so we're not so sure.

Virgin's Branson Invests in Cilion
Richard Branson invested more than $60 million into Cilion recently, a company that will make bioethanol from corn. Cilion raised a total of $160 million earlier this month.
In total, Virgin Fuels, the subsidiary used for the investment, is investing $400 million in several biofuel companies, The Sunday Times reports (via Free Republic). Virgin Fuels is already working with UK's government to make it economic for train companies to use biodiesel. Branson is understood to be considering other big investments in a range of other alternative-energy technologies, including wind power, hydro-electric and possibly even small nuclear stations.
Cilion is expected to start work on the first of seven bioethanol plants within a few weeks.

'You look up and there's Kate going through the 60% off rack': Sale guru reveals the Duchess's shopping tactics and how YOU can score the best bargains
- Mark Ellwood says 40-45 per cent of retailers' stock is now sold at a discount - a decade ago it was just 10-15 per cent
- He says there is no reason to pay full price ever and there is no reason to accept full price – and if you do, you're a fool
She is known to recycle her designer outfits with a great deal of panache. But the Duchess of Cambridge is also fond of a good bargain – and can be found rifling through the 60 per cent off sale rack at Bicester designer outlet village in Oxfordshire, according to sales guru Mark Ellwood.
Having trawled the world's shopping outlets, Mark had it confirmed that the future Queen of England is particularly fond of sales at UK high-street store Reiss.
During a visit to Bicester in February while doing research for his new book, Bargain Fever: How to Shop in a Discounted World, Mark told MailOnline: 'I went into Reiss to buy a sweater I bought at retail in navy, and they had it in brown for £20.
Bargain-hunter: The Duchess of Cambridge can be found rifling through the 60 per cent off sale rack at Bicester designer outlet village in Oxfordshire, according to sales guru Mark Ellwood
'I got chatting to a beautiful English rose behind the counter and asked why they were so many Chinese shoppers in the store - there are no Reiss stores in China - and she said: "Oh, it's Kate Middleton – she's in here all the time."
'She said, "You look up and there'll be Kate and her same two friends going through the 60 per cent off rack. You have no idea she's there and security must be outside, but she comes in all the time. And she's totally different to the Prince of Thailand, who I heard shut down a restaurant and brought his own staff when he visited Bicester."'
It's not the first time that the Duchess of Cambridge has been linked with Bicester.
Speaking to Sadiah Bte Shahal, the wife of Singaporean senior parliamentary secretary for the ministry of defence, Maliki Osman, on the first day of her and the Duke of Cambridge's nine-day tour of the Far East last September, the new mother said she 'loved' the discount shopping destination as 'everything is so contained.'
Tourist central: Chinese shoppers flock to Reiss's outlet at Bicester Village, in order to catch a glimpse of Kate
While in March 2012 it was revealed that she had bought a stylish blue coat dress from the Missoni outlet shop in the village, as well as a scarf. At the time an assistant at the store told Grazia: 'Kate bought the dress here. We were all surprised to see her and it was great to see her wearing it alongside the Queen and Duchess of Cornwall.'
Mark said: 'The future Queen of England can't take anything free, she cannot endorse anything.
'I love this image of people going to Bicester and getting a sighting of the future Queen of England.'
'You look up and there'll be Kate and her same two friends going through the 60 per cent off rack'
it's not just the Duchess who loves a bargain, as Mark points out: 'Lady
Gaga tweeted, "Why do people look at me like I'm crazy when I use
coupons at grocery or try bargaining at retail, IM FROM NEW YORK WHERE
IS THE SALE RACK [sic]"'
Delving into celebrity shopping secrets, Mark said: 'A friend of mine used to work at Hermes and Martha Stewart is one of the biggest clients at their boutique and also at their sample sale. '
'But what Martha would do is send a flunkey to send in line for the sample sale and they had to call when they were near the front and then Martha would take their place in line and go in.

'It's getting mad now. With the Christian Louboutin sale, there's not just a VIP day, but a celebrity day, there were pap shots of Blake Lively carrying bags and bags away. And this sample sale is the Shangri La of sample sales.'
However, when it comes to one celeb who won't take a freebie, Mark said: 'Another friend of mine styled Jada Pinkett and she tried on a bracelet and said "this is beautiful" – this is normally celebrity code for "give it to me". But she said: "How much is it," he replied $50,000 and she said "could you work on the price and invoice us?" – she paid for everything.'
Brit-born Mark was inspired to pen his book after noticing the steady stream of sales in stores.
He said: 'Ten years ago, retailers sold between 10 and 15 per cent of their inventory at some sort of promotion - today they sell between 40 and 45 per cent at promotion.
Shopping guru: Paying full price is so passé, says Mark Ellwood
'I was walking around and seeing lots of sales signs and when I shopped online I felt like an idiot if I hadn't found a coupon code, somehow I felt robbed! I wanted to know if there was something behind this and went to a researcher who gave me the numbers and I felt this was a fascinating story of how sales have doubled and why this has happened.'
He joked: 'My mother's Scottish, she puts two five pound notes in her wallet and she thinks they're like giant pandas and if she looks away they might breed! I grew up very comfortably, but my mother takes great pride in her value driven-ness, she's very Scottish.'
During his research for his book, Mark said he discovered: 'There is no reason to pay full price ever and there is no reason to accept full price – and if you do, you're a fool. You can always find a way to get a legal discount. Do you pay cash? Do you ask nicely? There is always an angle.'
It was after moving to New York from London 15 years ago that Mark discovered his passion for a bargain at the Strand bookstore in Manhattan, where you can find 'dusty half-price books'.
And it wasn't long after that that he discovered the shopping nirvana that is Century 21 in the city.
He revealed: 'I go to Century 21 twice a year, the first two weeks of February and the first two week of August. That's when the showrooms clear out the backlog of that season's inventory. Twice a year it's a piñata of goodies… The rest of the year go for towels and socks!
'You go three times a week at 8.30am you go and look only for the names of the brands that you like - you don't browse - buy everything you like in any size that might fit and take it home. At the end of two weeks, go through everything you've bought, try it on and then take back whatever doesn't fit.'
When it comes to online shopping, Mark has a tried and tested formula: 'It's cart abandonment. You have to treat shopping online like a date with someone new and cute, you mustn't put out on the first date. Instead, put the item in the cart, close the window, wait for it to go on sale and you'll create your own bargain.'
Discount queens: Mark reveals that both Lady Gaga (left) and Martha Stewart (right) are fond of a bargain
In exploring the world of bargains, Mark also unveiled the ploys that major 'high end middle market' chains use to draw shoppers.
Using J Crew as an example, he said: 'J Crew is one of my favorite brands, but they have decoy products in their stores, which exist solely to make everything else seem cheaper.
'J Crew launched the J Crew collection with a $900 blouse and everyone asked, "who would buy that?" But NO-ONE'S going to buy it – it's not meant to sell, it's meant to make the $200 blouses that used to be $150 seem cheaper.
'J Crew puts expensive decoy products in stores, which exist solely to make everything else seem cheaper'
'The J Crew collection is sprinkled throughout the stores, with the $350 dress next to the $200 dress to make it look cheaper. Shoppers are being manipulated and you have to be aware.
'We have this crazy irrational reaction to money - we don't think logically. If you get $5 off something, that goes into a magical pot that's no longer real money, you can spend it on anything... If it was still in your bank account you'd treat it like normal money, but this is weird bonus money.'
He advised: 'Every sales assistant wants to make their four per cent commission and you have to start thinking "they want to sell me this."
'Start visiting your favourite stores, make friends, learn when the assistants work and buy a little cheap thing, full price. They need to know that if they look after you they will have a guaranteed sales stream.
'Then they'll invite you to the pre-sale, which is the secret sale that happens BEFORE the sale. By the time the sale signs go up now anything good is gone. So pre-sale you take your loyalists and you offer the sale to them.
'There is always a discount to be had.'
Set sale: Bargain Fever by Mark Ellwood goes on sale in the U.S. on Thursday
- Never hand over your credit card without asking: 'Is that the best you can do?' A sales associate wants to make their commission, and you should try to help them to achieve that goal. Try: 'Are there any sales coming up I should wait for?' I know a woman who got 15% off a $50 frame at Pottery Barn when she said: 'Are there any promotions I missed today?'
- There are so many sales and deals today it can be overwhelming, so instead of sifting them yourself, let a service do it for you. Create a Twitter feed solely for deals, and follow accounts such as @dealnews. Quarterback this by signing up for a free service like Shopittome.com, which will alert you any time certain brands go on sale.
- Cash is king. Ask for a discount in exchange for saving a store the 3-5% it pays on card transactions. Research has also shown that people will spend up to twice as much, if paying with a credit card versus cash, so the bill for spending bills will be lower, too.
- Befriend a sales assistant at your favorite stores. Only ever buy from one person at a shop - learn their name and ask for them when you shop. After all, they're on commission most of the time, and a regular buyer is a reliable income source. Once you're recognized, they will most likely invite you to the pre-sale period and include you in friends and family promo periods.
- When it comes to online shopping, think of it as a date with someone new. Never put out the first time. Register with an e-tailer, place an item in a shopping cart, then leave it there for a few days - a case of what the industry calls 'cart abandonment'. Retailers hate this, so don't be surprised if an email appears with a promo code or other incentive to help close that sale.

Method of zero adjustment of a load cell for detecting back pressure of a screw in an electric injection molding machine
Image Number 3 for
United States Patent #6615637
A screw is incorporated into a heating barrel. A ball screw is connected to a rear end portion of the screw through a load cell, and a servomotor for injection is connected to the ball screw. First, the heating barrel is retreated and separated from a mold, and the screw is moved to the half stroke position. After the screw is advanced for a preset period of time, the servomotor is stopped by automatic decompression to detect an output of the load cell. Similarly, after the screw is retreated for a preset period of time, the servomotor is stopped by automatic decompression to detect an output of the load cell. An average of outputs of the load cell after the screw advances and retreats is calculated and considered to be an output of the load cell under no-load conditions, thereby performing zero adjustment of the load cell.

Phoenix Suns
Phoenix Suns sign Shavlik Randolph, waive Slava Kravtsov
The Phoenix Suns made some moves with their frontcourt Saturday as they prepare to make a playoff push with 24 games left.
According to a tweet from the team, the Suns have signed 30-year-old power forward Shavlik Randolph for the rest of the season. The 6-foot-10, 236-pound forward has played for Philadelphia, Portland, Miami and Boston over his six-year career. He last played with the Celtics in 2012-13, appearing in 16 games.
The Raleigh, N.C., native has averaged 2.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 47.5 percent shooting in 111 games played since he entered the league in 2005.
To clear the way for Randolph, the Suns waived backup center Viacheslav "Slava" Kravtsov. In his second year in the NBA, the Ukrainian big man appeared in 20 contests for Phoenix, putting up one point and 0.9 rebounds in three minutes per game.

Website of the day: Kopi
The Pocket-lint love affair with the seeds of the Coffea Arabica plant is well documented. In other words, we love a good coffee.
Buying coffee is not a simple business any more either. You walk into a coffee shop and have to figure out which of the myriad options is the one for you. You very often have to tell them what you want three or four times and even have to tell them your name so that you can claim what's rightfully yours when you finally reach the end of the procession.
So it's no wonder that more and more people are taking the art of making good coffee home with them.
And where do you go to get your raw materials? Well, kopi.co.uk is a good option, particularly if you fancy something a little bit different. Sign up here and every month they'll send you a batch of the finest coffee – a different one each month.
It's a great way to discover new blends and roasts and every cupful is a fresh as it can be because they roast to order.

This Friday is "Earth Day" and by all indications the Obama administration intends to celebrate it by traveling to the United Nations in New York and signing the Paris Agreement on climate change. Despite the pomp and circumstance of a U.N. Headquarters signing ceremony, President Obama claims that the Paris Agreement is not a treaty. Since he claims it is not a treaty,…
President Barack Obama's speech in Cuba last week is one of the best he's made in his seven years in office. Unfortunately, he's got a terrible record of following through on his words.
I don't think Obama should have gone to Cuba. The U.S. has nothing to gain from an opening to the Castro regime: this isn't Nixon's trip to China at the height of the Cold War.
It's been over a year since the United States "normalized" relations with Cuba, making concessions that, supposedly, would encourage the island nation to become freer and more open. In light of President Obama's visit, however, it's clear that this policy has proven to be a failure.
You would think that only by making concrete improvements in the lives of ordinary Cubans…
President Obama is no supporter of Brexit.

Someone should remind President Obama and Juan Williams what the Constitution actually says about confirming nominees. They seem unaware of how the process works. They also appear ignorant of the facts regarding the many judicial nominees the president has had confirmed over the past seven years.
First of all, the claim by Juan Williams that race "has something to do"…
In the continuing saga — going back almost seven years now — of Team Obama's quest to end the "Cold War" with Cuba, the White House trumpeted last week that the president is heading for Havana next month.
Just another bad idea whose time has come, I guess.
Obama will be the first U.S. president to go to Cuba since Calvin Coolidge in 1928 — and with the trip coming in…
Bernie Sanders says this is an economy that has been rigged with only the gains of the last decade going to the richest one percent. Hillary Clinton admits the middle class is falling behind.

Earlier this week, President Obama announced plans to visit Cuba in March. Logically—and more importantly—strategically, the visit makes no sense.
Mr. Obama and General Raul Castro have already met. Their famous handshake occurred last year, at the Summit of the Americas.
Today, a little over year after the president's radical shift in Cuba policy, conditions have…

The big fall off your chair moment during President Obama's State of the Union address came when he proclaimed:
"We've cut our imports of foreign oil by nearly sixty percent, and cut carbon pollution more than any other country on Earth. Gas under two bucks a gallon ain't bad, either."
Sure, Mr. President. Take a bow for the smashing success of the very domestic oil and…
President Obama made many reassuring remarks in last night's State of the Union address. For example, he reminded the nation that he had assembled a coalition of over 60 countries to "stop the flow of terrorist fighters."
What he left out was that this coalition is weak and ineffective. It has completely failed to thwart one of the most powerful forces fueling…
Listening to President Obama's State of the Union speech this week, I couldn't help but feel that he dealt with foreign policy and national security issues like the cop who doesn't want a bunch of "rubberneckers" at an accident or crime scene.
"Move along now folks … nothing to see here."
But, in fact, there's plenty to see here and we, as the American people, aren't…
After the San Bernardino terror attack, it's getting awfully hard for anyone to argue that President Obama is fully on top of what may turn out to be this century's epic struggle — the fight against violent Islamist extremism.
Like many Americans, I found it painful to listen to the president's Oval Office speech on Sunday calling on us to stay his chosen course in…
Yes, Mr. President, it was "an act of terrorism."
The Obama administration has been so ineffective in reacting to the threat from the Islamic State (also called ISIS and ISIL) that hearing the president use that phrase to describe the San Bernardino attack felt like a real breakthrough.
Unfortunately for a nation anxious to avoid becoming home to the next…

As much a part of the saucier side of British 20th-century life as cheeky seaside postcards and innuendo-loaded comedies, the topless models in Britain's best-selling daily paper might soon be no more.
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch, whose Sun has featured a large picture of a bare-breasted model on page three since 1970, has indicated that it may be time for a change in tack.
In response to a tweet saying: "Seriously, we are all so over page 3 - it is so last century!", the 81-year-old Australian replied: "You maybe right, don't know but considering. Perhaps halfway house with glamorous fashionistas."
The exchange coincided with the latest in what have been perennial campaigns against Page 3, this time spurred in part by a public sense that the mass-circulation press, tainted by scandal, is too powerful and should be reined in.
The "No More Page Three" campaign sent an open letter signed by more than 50 members of parliament to Dominic Mohan, editor of the Sun, which is part of News Corp's British newspaper division News International.
"We want to live in a society where the most widely-read newspaper is one that respects women," read the letter, posted on the campaign's website.
"Instead, the Sun publishes Page 3, which reduces women to objects. It reduces men to objectifiers. And it reduces this country to one that upholds 1970s sexist values. We're better than this."
During the Leveson inquiry into press standards last year, prompted by a phone-hacking scandal that forced the closure of the Sun's sister Sunday paper, the News of the World, Mohan said the photos "celebrate natural beauty".
"We're allowed to publish those images, and I think it's become quite an innocuous British institution where, as a parent myself, I'm more concerned about images that my children might come across on the Internet or on digital devices," he said.
But not all News International insiders agree. Former executive chairman Les Hinton, who resigned as head of Dow Jones during the phone hacking scandal, tweeted in response to Murdoch that "Page 3 has jarred for ages."
Murdoch bought the Sun in 1969 and rapidly turned it into an irreverent, muck-raking tabloid, introducing topless models within a year.
Initially featuring coy side-shots, the Page 3 photos later became more explicit, leaving little to the imagination. The picture is usually accompanied by a short text, quoting the model's improbable take on one of the issues of the day, often related to something the paper has been campaigning about.
A stint on Page 3 launched the careers of Samantha Fox, who went on to become a pop singer in the 1980s, and Katie Price, who as "Jordan" was known for her surgically enhanced bust and an infamous appearance on a reality TV show, and is now the name behind a number of books and perfumes.
Though the liberal intelligentsia loved to hate it, the Sun was embraced by the public and its sales rose. In common with other newspapers, it is losing readers, but it is still Britain's best-selling paper, shifting around 2.4 million copies a day in January.
Media commentators noted it was not the first time the Sun had mooted dropping Page 3.
"Murdoch is aware that, should he dare to follow his anti-Page 3 instincts, he may jeopardize the Sun's circulation," former Sun assistant editor Roy Greenslade wrote on the Guardian's website.
"He is ... caught between his desire to 'do the right thing' and commercial reality."
Monday's Sun featured 21-year-old Mellisa from Kent, appearing to emerge from the sea wearing only bikini bottoms.
"Mellisa is furious that foreign aid money is being squandered on fat cat consultants," the accompanying text reads, before going on to quote the 19th-century religious writer Charles Caleb Colton.
The idea of printing pictures of semi-naked women to boost circulation was copied by other British mass-circulation papers as well as newspapers in other countries, although many have since stopped the practice.
Germany's top-selling Bild removed topless women from its front page last year - only for them to reappear on Page 3.
Women's groups have criticized the Sun's pictures as degrading since they were introduced, but are regularly vilified by the paper as dour and bitter.
Former minister Clare Short, who has campaigned against Page 3 since 1986, was described as "fat" and "jealous", a move that Mohan admitted during the Leveson inquiry was not appropriate.
"It's not probably something I would run now," he said.

Intempo IDS-02 - iPod Docking 2.1 Sound System
4.0 stars
Sound, design, price
Over large, iPod wobbles in dock on top, speakers only put to the front of the ball
With so many choices for iPod speaker systems, manufacturers have to come up with something different to stand out from the crowd.
It's something that seems to come naturally to Intempo and its Intempo
IDS-02 iPod Docking 2.1 Sound System is no exception.
Rather than a slimline flat speaker system, or something that even remotely resembles a speaker, intempo digital has opted for a ball design that to anyone under the age of 20 will be more tempting to kick rather than listen to.
According to the blurb, "The compact iDS-02 surround-sound system packs in the latest technology to deliver great volume, plenty of detail and excellent bass response". And that it does.
Available in black or white, the iPod fits snugly into the docking station at the top of the unit (there are multiple trays for all the different iPods expect the company's iPod Shuffle) and it's simply a case of pressing play to hear the music.
The Intempo's performance is very good offering a good range of bass and treble in every track we tested it with. Sound is automatically controlled via the speaker unit and you can adjust the settings via the included remote control.
That sound comes from two 7.5 watt speakers and a 15 watt subwoofer also crammed in the unit. Unfortunately the speakers are only forward facing rather wrapping around the ball design and this does mean that it will take up a lot of space on your sideboard or desk.
Just like other speaker docking systems a quick connection to a Mac or PC via the included USB or FireWire cable means you can transfer songs to and from your iPod and whilst your iPod is in the dock it also gets charged.
Music fans who like the speaker but don't want or have an iPod can connect any device to it via a 3.5mm line-in socket.
Although the size of the speaker does make it bigger than most, the design has not compromised the sound in any way.
With an affordable price and a striking design, the Intempo IDS-02 is for those who want good sound and something that looks a little different.
We like it.

New Audi A8 with the second generation Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System
New Audi A8 with the second generation Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System
Together, Audi and Bang & Olufsen present the new generation of the highly acclaimed Advanced Sound System which was first launched in the model year 2005 of the Audi A8. In the new Audi A8, the Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System surpasses previous achievements with superior sound performance, more power and a new design language to complement and enhance the exclusive interior of the car.
In 2008, it was announced that Audi and Bang & Olufsen would continue to build on their cooperation success through the development of a new generation Advanced Sound Systems for a broad range of new Audi models. At the Design Miami trade show, the new Audi A8 is now presented with the first member of this new generation in automotive sound from Bang & Olufsen.
Evolution based on revolution
When Bang & Olufsen launched the first generation Advanced Sound System for the Audi A8 in 2005, the system was received as a revolutionary design statement offering an acoustic experience unmatched in the automotive industry. In addition, the system took quality and craftsmanship of the sound system components to a new level. Experts and journalists gave the sound system a hugely positive welcome and among others, the German car magazine 'auto motor und sport' described the Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System as "nothing short of a revolution surpassing all previous automotive audio systems".
Second generation of Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System
During the last four years, the people behind the Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System have continued working on improvements in the system to create even further refined sound performance. "With the next generation of the Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System, we have really succeeded in creating the perfect experience thanks to the outstanding sound. We have worked together with Bang & Olufsen on this sound system for four years - adjusting and testing over and over again. The result is the best quality, perfect harmonizing and a breathtaking design. All in all, the best sound ever developed for a car. Try it yourself - you will never want to get out of the car again", states Sound Project Manager at Audi, Dipl.-Ing. Adam Sulowski.
Adding to the magnificent features of the first generation, the new Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System has five additional loudspeakers, a total of 19, each driven by its own discrete channel of digital signal processing and amplification. Thanks to the use of Bang & Olufsen's proprietary ICEpower technology the system produces a total amplifier power of 1.348 watts at only 1% distortion (equals 1.460 watts at the usual 10% automotive distortion specification).
Improved Acoustic Lens Technology and new design
The Acoustic Lens Technology is a Bang & Olufsen owned and patented innovation and one of the cornerstones of the Advanced Sound System. The unique shape and finely tuned acoustic optimisation have resulted in an improved acoustic performance and individual design statement at a level never achieved before.
The loudspeaker grills for the midranges and woofers in both front and rear doors are organically shaped and each formed from a single piece of aluminium thus integrating perfectly with the Audi A8's interior curves. Further development of the Bang & Olufsen aluminium competences made it possible to achieve the elegant result of the organic shapes, enhancing the contemporary interior of the new Audi A8.
"With the launch of the Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System in the former Audi A8 in 2005, Audi and Bang & Olufsen jointly changed the paradigm for in-car audio. By the introduction of the second generation Advanced Sound System in the new Audi A8, the cooperation follows up on the success through continued development of both the acoustic and aesthetical elements of the sound system, and thus defines a new reference within ultimate audio", states Bang & Olufsen Vice President, Jens Peter Zinck.
The new generation Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System offers improved sound both for passengers in the front- and rear-seats. For the front passengers, improved staging and imaging is enabled by the midrange speakers in the front doors, a two-channel centre speaker and the enhanced acoustic lenses. The rear seat sound performance is distinctly improved through the introduction of a three-way speaker system in each of the rear doors and a two way system on the parcel shelf.
Privacy effect and personal drive-in movie
The four additional rear loudspeakers especially improve the listening experience during playback of discrete multi-channel audio formats. This means that an even more "movie theatre like" experience is gained, particularly in conjunction with the Audi Rear Seat Entertainment package. This feature is complemented by the option of selecting the special sound mode 'Movie', giving a sound experience close to what you would have at the cinema. This gives the idea of drive-in movies a whole new meaning. The 'Movie' sound mode in the A8 can be adjusted via the 'DSP Bang & Olufsen' menu in the Audi infotainment system MMI.
The 'Volume Levelling' feature is a highly advanced vehicle noise compensation algorithm that is specifically optimised for the new Audi A8. The main input to the Volume Levelling system is a discrete, integrated microphone in the ceiling that continuously detects the background noise, including sound generated by the air conditioning, engine and road. This system ensures that the optimum sound experience is constantly enjoyed for each occupant of the vehicle whatever the conditions.
The closed speaker cabinets ensure that music and phone calls stay in the car, giving an optimal 'privacy-effect' e.g. for taking business calls, and furthermore the closed cabinets reduce undesired vibrations from the door trim when playing music at high sound pressure levels.
- 19 fully active loudspeakers:
2 x 19 mm soft dome tweeters in motorized acoustic lenses
5 x 25 mm soft dome tweeters
7 x 100 mm midranges (closed cabinet, fiber glass cone, ABS basket)
4 x 165 mm woofers (closed cabinet, air dried paper cone, cast aluminum basket)
1 x 200 mm subwoofer (closed cabinet, air dried paper cone, cast aluminum basket)
- More than 1.348 watts at 1% distortion level (equals 1.460 watts at the usual 10% automotive distortion specification)
- DSP (Digital Signal Processing) Amplifier:
True-Image: Proprietary Bang & Olufsen up-mix algorithm for stereo and 5.1 multichannel material
Volume leveling depending on noise, speed and climate control setting
- ICEpower Amplifier
- 4 sound settings: Front, Rear, All and Movie
- Capable of Stop/Start functionality

Speaking of A Tribe Called Quest
I'm not sure how Lupe Fiasco could claim he's never listened to A Tribe Called Quest before, but the more
I think about it, the more ridiculous it sounds. That's like Norah Jones saying she's never listened to Billie Holiday. Or Interpol claiming they were never interested in Joy Division. Give me a flipping break. Dude definitely needs a late pass for his hip-hop history class.
Considering, we hear that Lupe is a big CrossFade fan, we'll be glad to help him out. Here's a video from one of hip-hop's most innovative and jazzed out group's to start off the morning. --Jonathan Cunningham

Hope chest? Great storage idea instead of filing cabinet
I'm starting a new weekly feature called "Great Ideas" with an angle on creaitng alternative uses for everyday household items. The focus is to maximize resources --time, money, space -- while transforming items that may already be in your home to produce a simple, creative new approach for storage, decor and/or entertaining.

Because I live in a small space, which I love, I am always looking for storage solutions that allow me to access and put away essentials quickly and effortlessly. I am not as organized as I'd like to be, but, this chest is certainly a step in the right direction. The combination of a filing cabinet and bulletin board, which is simply made from cork board and glue, is an ideal solution for someone like myself who wants an indiscreet home office space.
