Bill Parcells Inducted Into The NFL Hall Of Fame
Former Giants and Jets head coach and New Jersey native Bill Parcells was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame on Saturday.
He was presented by former New York Giants defensive end George Martin according to CBS Sports.
"I'm honored, I'm grateful and I'm thankful to everyone single one of you out there that had something to do with this,' said Parcells, the only coach to lead four different teams to the playoffs reports CBS Sports.
"Every organization I worked for supported me to the fullest," Parcells said according to ESPN. "Without that, you've got no shot."
The Englewood native coached the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys as well as the Jets and Giants.
In a 20-minute speech he talked about a friendship with the late Al Davis, owner of the Oakland Raiders. I don't know why befriended me." So there you have it, Davis did have friends. Case closed." He also talked about the bond between all the Hall Of Fame inductees. "There's a kinship created that lasts for the rest of your life," he said about his experience as one of the NFL's most successful coaches.
His 92-year-old high school basketball coach Mickey Corcoran made the trip to Canton, Ohio for the induction.
Cris Carter, Jonathan Ogden, Dave Robinson, Larry Allen, Curley Culp and Warren Sapp were also inducted as part of the 2013 class.

No holds barred: local bartenders share dirty little secrets
Published Feb. 28, 2013
OnMilwaukee.com recently distributed an anonymous online survey to local bartenders with questions like "have you ever busted anyone for having sex in your bar?" and "have you ever stolen from your bar?" Their responses ranged from prudent to racy, and here they are.

A program designed to empower farm women is seeing increased interest across Ohio as more women take on leadership roles on the farm and look to strengthen their roles in agribusiness.
Annie's Project, now in its 10th year nationwide, is a six-week course that teaches women about problem-solving, record-keeping, decision-making and property ownership issues. Ohio organizers expect the program to reach more than 200 women in 10 sessions statewide this year, said Gigi Neal, an Ohio State University Extension educator and state coordinator of Annie's Project.
"There is a clear need for the program as women want to become stronger leaders within their agricultural businesses," she said. "Times are changing for women as they've become more involved in the business side of their families' businesses in addition to juggling families and outside employment."
More women are running farms and ranches, operating more land and producing more agricultural products, according to the 2007 Census of Agriculture report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (the most recent data available). Women farm operators have increased 19 percent nationwide since 2002, according to USDA, and of the 3.3 million U.S. farm operators in 2007, more than 1 million (30.2 percent) were women.
In Ohio, 9,127 women were reported as principal operators of farms in 2007, covering some 721,851 acres of land, the USDA census found.
Annie's Project focuses on the five broad areas of agricultural risk management: production, financial, market, human resources and legal risks. The sessions foster problem-solving, record-keeping and decision-making skills in farm women and are designed to be very interactive between the presenters and the participants.
Information presented is tailored to meet the needs of participants in their own geographical areas.
"One of the things that we're seeing is that the program empowers women to become better business partners with their farm enterprises," Neal said. "Women across the state and nation are becoming the leaders and, in some cases, the sole decision-makers of their enterprise, business.
"So having this kind of information helps them to access their property, what risks they need to take, whether with grain production or livestock production, and whether they need to keep their farms, sell it or transfer to another person."
Annie's Project was founded in 2000 by Ruth Hambleton, an Extension educator at the University of Illinois, based on the experiences of her mother, Annie, who worked with her father on the family's farm. It was introduced in Ohio in 2007.
The Ohio courses are taught and coordinated by OSU Extension educators with assistance from local resources statewide throughout the year. Farm Credit Mid-America is a sponsor of the courses.
Upcoming classes are scheduled for the spring, summer and fall.
For more specific course dates and locations, interested parties can contact Christine Kendle, an OSU Extension educator in family and consumer sciences who also is an Annie's Project state coordinator, at 330-339-2337 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Interested participants can also contact Neal at 513-732-7070 or by email at email@example.com.

Get back to camp or let the horse do it.
This was written by Bud Hancock's son:
As a young boy my father would take me hunting or fishing with him, this was a happy thing in my life. The only thing I didn't care for was when we got back home I was the one that usually got stuck with unpacking and putting the camping gear away. I don't think mom enjoyed it a whole lot either, but that was a minor thing and we always got the stuff put away. Any way on with the story. Most of the time when your young you don't realize how much your parents are trying to teach you things that may even save your life if you head their counsel. Usually after we had arrived at our camp site and set up camp dad would say to me, "which way is north?". He wanted to make sure that I had my directions straight. As we started out from camp he would say, "See where the sun is coming up and which direction the shadow of the trees fall?". As we walked along the trail looking for deer or as we were driving a canyon he would turn to me and ask me the same questions. Then he would ask me which direction camp was and I would point in the direction I thought camp was. Most of the time I was right, but when I was not dad would correct my direction and explain why I might have been off in my directions by saying, " remember we made a turn here or there and headed in this direction. As I thought back I could remember, "Oh yea, I remember." and we would go on with the hunt. Many times he would stop and ask me to look back to where we had just come and say, "What do you see that we just passed?" and I would point to a dead tree that had fallen over or an outcropping of rock. Then he would say to me, "Remember that, so that if you have to get us back to camp you will know you are on the right path and not lost. Dad would tell me that things look different as you work your way back to camp than they do when you leave and are going away from camp. He would have me look at mountain peaks that we could see above the trees and use those as an orientation point in keeping my directions straight. Many times dad would say, "Okay, get us back to camp." and let me take the lead. I must have been fairly obedient in remembering what dad was trying to teach me because the older I got the better I got at knowing where I was in relation to where camp was and how to get back there. To me it was a fun game I played with dad.
As I grew better at getting us back to camp by using the things Dad had taught me concerning the location of the sun throughout the day, the direction the tree shadows fall, using the mountain peaks as direction finders, and looking back to see where I had come from dad threw me a curve to all this. We started out from camp on horse back early in the morning, me on the back of the saddle holding on to dad. We had spent a long day hunting in and out of the timber, up this draw and down that not too far off the main trail. Just about dusk dad got his deer in one of the draws. We cleaned it and was ready to get it out of the draw on the horse, but found the horse was spooked by the smell of the deer and would not let dad put the deer on the back of the saddle. So, we left the deer hanging from the tree and had to get back to camp to get another horse that had carried many a deer on it back. We made it back to camp and back to the deer in good time. The problem came when we got the pack horse and the deer back out of the draw and back on the trail back to camp it was dark The further we got down the trail the darker it got until we could not see but a few feet in front of us. Dad had the pack horse on a rope tied to the horn of the saddle of the horse we were on. I could hear the sound of horses feet on the soft dirt trail as we rode back to camp. I didn't know how to get back to camp and I sure hope dad did cause I sure didn't. As I sat on the back of the saddle, I hung tighter to dad. I was feeling very insecure. There was no sun, no tree shadows, no mountain tops, and no looking back or forward. It was very dark. As I was feeling as lost as I possibly could, dad said out of the darkness, "If I weren't here how would you get back to camp?" There was total silence on my part as I tried to think of a single way of getting us there. All of a sudden six words popped into my mind, "I don't know. How do we?" Dad was about to teach me another very important fact about getting back to camp when you don't know how. Dad said," Loosen the reins on the horse and give him his freedom to lead and he will get us back to camp." My Grandpa taught Dad and then Dad taught me. This is a good pattern for learning important things.
Often times in our lives we have to rely on someone or something else to lead us when we don't know the way to proceed. As I have grown older I have come to understand that there is someone that will always be there with me when I am not sure which way to go or how to proceed with something. I now have a sure conviction that the gift of Holy Ghost that I was given after my baptism will always be there to guide me when I need help. If I will ask for the help I need and then listen carefully to the Spirit and to his promptings I will know what to do, always.

Spurs Ayres, Duncan report hearing baby crying in empty room at reportedly haunted Bay Area hotel
The most famous of the reportedly haunted hotels that regularly cater to NBA teams is the Skirvin Hilton in Oklahoma City (Eddy Curry once reported an incident there, but that might have just been his stomach rumbling).
However, there is one in the Bay Area, too the Claremont Resort in Berkley (pictured to the right). Among the spirits reportedly seen there is a six-year-old girl who allegedly died at the hotel.
The Spurs stayed at the Claremont recently when playing the Warriors and Jeff Ayres has a story to tell, via the San Antonio Express-News (hat tip to Hoopshype).
You get in at whatever time. I took my room key. I could hear stuff in the hallway, like people in their rooms. So Im thinking people are watching TV or whatever. So I get to my door, and my key doesnt work, but it sounds like theres somebody in my room. Like I hear a little baby, not crying but making noise. Im like, What the heck? I keep trying my key and it doesnt work. So I go downstairs to get a new key, and I tell them (somebodys in the room).
So they call the room, and nobody answers. Theyre like, We can get you a new key and send you up with security and make sure nobodys there, because there shouldnt be anybody in there. Then theyre like, Well just get you a new room. It was the creepiest thing. I heard a couple of other guys heard babies in the hallway, kids running down the hallway. Creepy. I really heard voices and a baby in the room, and there wasnt anybody in there. It was crazy.
The Big Fundamental Tim Duncan backs up his story.
I heard a baby in his room. There was somebody or something in his room, yeah. I definitely heard something. It wasnt creepy, because I assumed it was really somebody in the room, and they gave him the wrong room. But when they told me the story the next day about calling up there and no one in the room, its at that point you get chills. I totally agreed with him. There was a baby there, absolutely. I heard about the history of the place, and Id rather not (stay there again).
When the Spurs now 14-game win streak ends, Im blaming the ghost of the 6 year old

Soul Auction
|Planning Time
|2 months
|Group Size
|Staff #
|Event Date
Activity Overview:
Both variations of this event revolve around the idea of auctioning off group members. The first iteration sells their "souls", which must be won back by a challenge set by the buyer; the second allows the buyer to send the purchased to a religious event of their choosing. (Note that these are not necessarily exclusive.) Make sure that both buyers and bought know the parameters beforehand (i.e. nothing degrading).
This is intended to be a fundraiser for your group, as well as something of a publicity stunt. Key to this is maximizing its impact; you may wish to roll this into an evening with another event you're throwing, such as a Flying Spaghetti Monster Feast. Regardless, to ensure you make money and get noticed you'll want to attract anywhere from forty to two hundred people, which can vary based on the size of your school and venue.Planning timeframe:
Get started at least two months ahead of time. Give yourself more time if this is going to be a major fundraiser, or if it will be in conjunction with another event.
Unlike some fundraisers, this activity can be kept entirely in-house, since it will only be your group members who will sell their souls (unless you can convince a professor to join in). You'll need from 6 to 10 volunteers to sell their souls, and the people you select should be different enough from one another to present your group as a diverse organization, as well as to attract a wide range of soul-purchasers.
The tasks of advertising, securing your venue, getting volunteers, and collecting money can be parceled out between 2 to 4 coordinators. You'll also need 1 charismatic MC/ auctioneer, who doesn't necessarily have to be a coordinator but cannot be selling their soul.
As always, group leaders need to periodically check in to make sure everything is running smoothly!
Material requirements:
As for the event itself, you'll want your group's banner prominently displayed, as well as literature about your group. The stage for the auction can be decorated as simply or as gaudily as you want. You'll also require a cashbox to hold the money you raise - you may be able to borrow one from a student union Treasurer, or the student activities department.
Cooperating Organizations:
Depending on how seriously they take themselves, religious groups on campus may be either offended or amused. Those in the latter category may be willing to collectively purchase a soul or two, especially if you are focusing on the "send an atheist to church" variant.
If choose to make this event for members only, be sure to promote heavily through your group email list, Facebook or other web presence, and in meetings. If you choose to open this to the general campus, review the Group Promotion resource for for promotion ideas. People can't attend your event if they don't know it's happening, so be thorough in promotion and advertising.
- Two to three months ahead of time, you'll need to designate your coordinators, and to solicit volunteers. (Don't worry if you need to change volunteers later on - unless there is campus-wide interest in that person's soul, these events don't really focus on headliners.) Determine whether you want to combine this with another event, and if so which one.
- If you can get a well-known person on campus to donate their soul, it can be a big draw. Sympathetic professors, or even local supporters, may be interested, although asking people outside your group means you should plan and ask further in advance. The SSA might be able to help you find a local soul-seller - don't be afraid to ask!
- As soon as these details are in place, you need to secure an appropriate venue. Ideally, it should have a stage visible to the number of people you're expecting. Check to see if it has a podiumthat your MC can use, although this is optional. If the venue is large, you probably want to make sure you have an audio system.
- Advertise, advertise, advertise! Since this is a fundraiser, attendance at this event may well determine what other events and activities you can do. See the Group Running Guide for tips and ideas. You should also send a press release about two weeks before your event - the SSA can help you get the word out here.
- Although they won't be co-hosting, let religious groups or the chaplaincy know about your event - they may want to come as a group, or at least let their members know about it.
- About two weeks before the event, confirm that your volunteers can be there. The whole thing should only take between one and two hours, but be sure to schedule how the auction will proceed, especially if you're combining it with another event.
- The day of, be there earlyto set up.
- The auction should mostly run itself. The MC should introduce the group and explain how the auction will proceed. The MC will introduce the soul to be sold, the soul struts itself, and then the MC takes bids. Make sure a coordinator takes note of who buys which souls, and for how much. The winner(s) should be directed to pay whoever is in charge of the cashbox then and there.
- Dispensing the souls can be fun and entertaining in itself. You may want to have the winner come up on stage and discuss what they will do with the soul - if they are sending it to church, for instance, which one, and when. Some groups set it up such that the person whose soul was bought has to do something to get it back - complete a dare, for instance (make sure your volunteers know and agree to this!). Another option is to have your volunteers 'earn their souls back' through community service or volunteer efforts, perhaps chosen by the buyer. This can also change into a date auction, but where's the fun in that?
- After you've been paid and both purchaser and purchased have come to agreeable terms, the auction can be wrapped up. As always, pack up and clean up, and be sure to thank your volunteers and coordinators!
- Since you're making money off of this, and buyers like to get what they pay for, a coordinator needs to follow-up on the auction agreements and make sure they were fulfilled. Unsatisfied buyers may need to be refunded! If everything has gone smoothly, it wouldn't hurt to send the buyer(s) a thank-you note.
One of our best resources to find out what works and what doesn't is you - our student leaders! If you've employed a strategy that worked well, let us know about it so other groups can also use that idea. If you've learned a lesson of caution about something we suggest, point out the pitfalls. You can email us at firstname.lastname@example.com!

I have a list of that.. but one day, I was late for school, and walked right into the classroom and sat down at the nearest desk, before I realized that my class use a different room on Fridays... had no idea what class I was in.
You expect me to remember one specific thing out of twenty-two years of dumbness? However, I'm going to go with "Starting to play Yu-Gi-Oh." Not that I dislike the game now, but holy god did I spend a lot of money on it and I no longer play it -- and on average, packs cost as much as those for the other games I play for 2/3 to half the product.
I'm damning it with strong praise, though -- that's a hell of a racket they've got.
It's for reasons like that that I'm so glad used shops exist (and Steam for PC gaming). It's a bit hit-and-miss, but it's a big help. I mean, I guess unless you're looking for the first Shantae or Super Metroid or something.
I once blew on my ice cream, like you do on hot food...
Oh, and on several occasions I've taken an umbrealla out into a windy, wet day only for it to get turned inside out and broken. Just once I wish the wind woudl catch my umbrella and carry me across the road mary poppins-style like it did ten years ago...
Also, in a similar vein, I think my cat takes after me; one evening, we were playing monopoly (me, mum and dad), and suddenly the cat (who was outside) just jumped up and body-planted into the window. That was brilliant!
Mute Swan's aren't actually mute. It's just the name. In similar fashion, frogs don't all go 'ribbet ribbet', but in fact have 'local' dialogues. the common sound associated with the frogs going ribbet is because they are the ones commonly found in hollywood and thus received a large amount of 'publicity'.Originally Posted by Flame Misteress

Oh, I remember a really dumb moment from my childhood. One time, I found over 200 old comics at a garage sale and together they were all worth 15 bucks. What was mostly there were a bunch of worthless comics from New Universe but there were the odd few comics in there. Along a French Jughead comic and some magazines reporting comic news was the issue of Spider-Man where Peter proposed to Mary Jane. I can't believe I let my mom toss all of those out without picking that one comic out! Oh well...
I has to do with a girl back in high school, and my failure to pursue a relationship with her. That's all I really want to say.

^ This is the reason why I like arguing. If I come off as standoffish or overly angry in an argument, don't worry. I'm probably having the time of my life. Whether I agree with them or not, the pokemon fandom has a lot of different opinions, and I love how nobody is afraid to share them.even if we don't understand each other, that's not a reason to reject each other. There are two sides to any argument. Is there one point of view that has all the answers? Give it some thought.

Hi,Recently I have developed a site but I am not satisfied with its security. I want to get it more secured for hackers. Can you please suggest me new ways to protect my site form hackers.Thanks
Hi, there is no a way that will protect your site from hackers at all. You should look at any steps.For example if you are getting some values form url, for example id and use it to select something from database, before making query, you should filter that value (you have to filter any value that comes from users, if you will not do that, hackers may use SQL injection).Or if you are uploading images, you have to check that file to be sure that the file is image.Etc.
First, WELCOME to SitePoint!
Second, please look through the threads in this board as there is a wealth of information here.
Boiled down:
While VERY strong passwords are exceptionally important, I believe that using good coding is the most important. Just ACT paranoid in your programming (test, test and test again) and you'll save yourself many hours/days of recovery effort.
FWIW, I've just relocated and configured the control panel to ignore/ban any illicit attempts to gain access. I've had several attacks each day with some coming so fast that the banning didn't have time to take effect! I'm not paranoid but there are those out there trying to get me (although I am sure that I'm anonymous to every one of them). Fortunately, the seemingly paranoid protections are doing their work!
I tend to suggest it often, but Cloudflare helps quite a bit in protecting your site against hackers
You definitely want "bullet-proof" code and SSL, and do not help hackers with error messages like: ID is OK, but password is too short. If someone REALLY wants into your site, they can automate a signon script to try all IDs and passwords, and would eventually sign in. In computer time, it could take awhile, but that may not be so long in human time. One trick is to temporary lock out an ID for 30 minutes after 3 to 5 invalid signon attempts. The script keeps running, but doesn't know it's not going anywhere. If there are 3 temporary lockouts in an hour, shut down that ID. The flip side is that inconveniences the legitimate person with that ID, so be able to contact her. Also, if it's an admin ID, be sure you have alternative IDs to signon with. Of course, if someone guesses and ID and password on the first try --- oops.
Everything starts from up-dated software - from the OS to the coding language, as well as strong and quality programming of your application. Many CMS based sites are vulnerable if outdated. Also consider file/directory protection and defining .htaccess files in your hosting account.
Ways to protect your site will vary depending on where you are hosting the web site. Generally speaking protecting your site involves ensuring the web application is coded securely (no injection flaws, XSS or other web app vulnerabiltiies) AND that the server (operating system) is secure.
If you are hosting your site on a server you control you could use security enhancements like mod_security, the open source host based security agent ossec and general operating system hardening.
If you are using a managed hosting service, then it is a good idea to go with a provider that takes security seriously.
First of all get very good secure hosting, also make sure that you have a back up of your website every week or alternate day.Use captcha for spam and use strong passwords. A lot depends on what framework you are using as per which you can customize your security.Hope these small tips help
Also, make sure file permissions on the server are set correctly, and do NOT save your username and password in your FTP software.
It would as well be good to have a good antiviros program and malvare protection on your work computer.
1.Website security is one of the biggest concerns of most website owners,2.Making regular backups of your website is very important,3.Open Source software is software that is freely available for anyone to download and use. While using free software is a great way to build your website, one of the negatives is that hackers also have access to the code to find ways to exploit it.
That's actually one of the positives since when security holes are easier to find they tend to get fixed far more quickly and so such software is likely to contain far fewer security holes than softare where the source isn't available.

Monkeys on Mars
Here's the movie George Clooney should be making. Scott found an interesting page on IO9 that claimed Monkeys May Be Headed to Mars, describing a program to train monkeys to work with robots, which can feed and clean up after them during the trip:
"The Georgian Institute of Experimental Pathology & Therapy is in talks with Russia's Cosmonautics Academy about a program to train monkeys for a journey to Mars. The Institute supplied monkeys in the 1980s, when Russia began sending monkeys into orbit. Because a round-trip voyage would take an estimated 520 days and would subject cosmonauts to high levels of radiation, there are concerns about sending humans. We may see how other primates fare first."
I combed the net for other mentions, finding tidbits in various outlets (nothing on the official websites of the participating agencies just yet – perhaps this was designed to test the waters?), and was not surprised to discover a relation to Mars500, the joint Roskosmos/ESA habitat simulations.
The Independent ran the most comprehensive view in an article called Stalin's Space Monkeys -- a detailed look at the controversial history of the institute, ground-breaking disease research, their more disturbing experiments up through the Cold War, plus their role in training monkeys to carry out functions in space before perestroika devastated much of the scientific work carried out across the former Soviet Union.
Only one article cites possible "ethical difficulties," and they only casually discuss the inherent obstacles to training. Director of the Institute, Zurab Mikvabia, was quoted as saying, "Technicians say it's not difficult to build such a robot. The hard part is teaching the monkey to cooperate with the robot."
Y'think?? A macaque named Yerosha was raised and trained at the institute, and went into space in 1987. During his flight, he freed one of his paws from his encasement. Alarmed scientists on the ground could only watch helplessly as he tore sensors from his body and started randomly pressing buttons in his spacecraft. What might one do to a robot he dislikes?
I found numerous other articles, but they all similarly raise more questions than they answer:
Mars Daily: War-Torn Nursery Hopes To Send Monkeys To Mars
UK Telegraph: Monkey To Be Sent To Mars
Popular Science: Former Soviet Monkey Nursery Wants To Send Ape To Mars
Warning to biological pet-peevists: most of the reporting journalists do not know the difference between "monkeys" and "apes."
Baboons, macaques and chimpanzees are all mentioned, though it's not clear which species may be chosen for training. I'm usually excited about any "simulation" news by any space program, but I honestly cannot decide how I feel about this one.
Existing tests show that primate immune systems are seriously weakened when exposed to the radiation levels of solar flares, and we'd be using these animals to gauge the severity and longevity of such side effects.
I know there are multiple centers all over the world where primates face far worse ordeals than being fed by robots – maybe even worse ordeals than launching out of Earth's atmosphere... but in the long run, I have a hard time believing this wouldn't end up being a one-way trip for the animals.

Worrying could perhaps be an excellent training technique for the monkeys that could possibly be chosen to travel to Mars.
What would a 32 degree reentry effect have on a 7 pound monkey utilising Pascals at equatorial epicentre for a previous of 3 million years considering the planets retrograde, seasonal area pressure and arc to LEO [light refractive index neuron transmission]...
It could possibly be a new species if it completes the math/journey...

A 560 day journey for a monkey would need a simplistic analysis that considers weight loss not because of body inactive excercise of gravitational pressure on the body maintaining shape, it is not weightlessness that is responsible for weightloss, but, heat.
A journey of 560 days is 560 sunsets [19 hours of heat per day in an african equatorial region]. A loss of 560 sunsets to a monkeys Circadian rhythym would destabilise the suprachaismatic nuecleus and by my estimations would cause the monkey mental collapse after approximately three weeks...
If the monkey did survive which I believe it would due to the activation of the zona reticularis enhancements a 32 degree re entry would certainly compound the memory...
Iron injections would help, but, a monkeys red blood cell's would be hard pushed and I don't beleive it's body is big enough to cope with the plasma exertions stressed without it's usual sun light exposure...
Robot's... Not if we want to evolve.

I see what you mean about not knowing how to feel. We all know that animal testing goes on, but it's harsh realities, well, we prefer not to think about them. I gather I was among many who naively assumes we could simulate everything on the ground safely with humans these days, and I hope there is no need for this program. Then there is another part of my brain that wonders if they could pull it off?

Well I agree but I think the list inform should prepare more info then it has.

The Right Law School for You
Contributed by Kimberly Anderson on 09/17/13
"The Right Law School for You" is the third and last of three evening workshops for those with an interest in the study and practice of Law
This session will cover how students should go about choosing the best law schools suited for them, including where they may most likely be accepted and how to finance their legal education. Yale, Harvard, and Stanford are at the top of many students' wish list, but the main concerns students have to address is where they have a reasonable chance of being admitted and, once admitted, how they are going to pay for it. Other significant factors include location of the law, the legal market in that area, and the law school's alumni network.
This event will be hosted Wednesday, September 18, 2013 from 6:30 pm until 7:45 pm at 101 Textor.
All Ithaca College students with a possible interest in law school or the practice of law are invited to attend. There will also be Pizza!

A parallel universe where everyone is a dude and everything is cool. Dudeland has its own time zone, which is usually about 5 hours behind ours and will always be at least 20 minutes picking you up. Time also moves much more slowly in dudeland - it seems 5 hours behind but it is really 1988. All the dudes communicate by sharing a collective conscious which maximizes the use of its most endangered natural resource - brain cells. This explains how all the dudes understand each other when they mumble and/or can go for hours without speaking and still know that another dude wants nachos. It also explains why dudes are convinced that they DID tell you about losing your ATM card, setting the microwave on fire, or having to spend the weekend in jail - everyone in dudeland already knows and he forgot that you don't share the dudeland telepathy. Dudeland rocks because there is no responsibility such as jobs, because every day is filled with drinking, smoking, and jamming. In other words, a dude-topia.

The winner of last week's giveaway was:
This week we're running a special giveaway for Valentine's Day. The holiday gift shop for women we put together with Huckberry for Christmas was a huge hit, and since V-Day is another time where guys often have trouble coming up with a gift, we decided to do another store of lady's gifts for the occasion. Together with Huckberry, we curated a Valentine's Day gift shop of quality gifts that are unique and thoughtful, and include plenty of affordable choices. The store closes on Sunday, February 10th. (Some of the items will have to be pulled by Thursday, February 7 to ensure delivery.)
Typically with these giveaways you get the chance to win anything in the store. But for this one, the guys at Huckberry wanted to do something on a magnitude several times greater. Up for grabs this week is:
- Any item from the Huckberry x Art of Manliness Valentine's Day Store +
- $125 Ruth's Chris gift certificate +
- $50 flowers gift certificate +
- $25 AMC gift card
Basically, the winner gets a gift for his gal AND a great night out on the town with her. Pretty sweet.
Note: If you see something you like, it's best to grab it straightaway, as stuff sells out. Some things are already sold out, but Huckberry is trying to get some of it back in stock. This includes the Morse Code "I love you" necklace — way cool. They're aiming to get those back in stock this evening, but even if it sells out again, they're going to set aside one in case the giveaway winner picks it, so it's okay to make a sold-out item your choice in the comments.

Any government that is intent on controlling public debate has traditionally had a number of tools at its disposal. Direct ownership of the press, punishment of unruly journalists or artists and the promotion of malleable ones, book burning, propaganda … the list goes on. The internet, a sprawling, uncontrollable and ever-growing beast may have given birth to a new set of challenges for modern totalitarian powers, but China has thrown its resources at the problem with gusto, keeping a lid on simmering dissent with a mix of technology, commercial incentives, legal restrictions and carefully selected pressure valves.
That is partly why the open revolt by journalists in Guangzhou this past week was so surprising – because it suggested that, just occasionally, spontaneous anger and frustration could yet circumvent the great firewall of China, even if only briefly.
In the FT
- The incident began when the Southern Weekend newspaper in Guangzhou planned a front-page New Year's editorial that was to be titled: "China's Dream is a Dream of Constitution".

CLEVELAND, Texas - A girl who was raped by several men and boys testified in court against one of the suspects on Tuesday.
Jared Cruse, 20, has been charged with aggravated sexual assault. He has been accused of raping an 11-year-old girl.
Jurors heard opening statements in the case on Tuesday morning. The defense does not deny that Cruse had sex with the girl, but they claim the girl said she was 17 and was a willing participant.
Prosecutors said it does not matter if the girl was a willing participant. They said an 11-year-old is a child, and a child cannot consent to sex.
"How are you supposed to check someone's age? Chop off their leg and count the rings like a tree?" asked Steven Taylor, Cruse's attorney.
The girl testified that she willingly had sex with almost two dozen men and boys when she was in sixth grade. She is now 13 years old.
The first witness to testify, a federal agent who specializes in analyzing computers, said there is cellphone video of the event. According to prosecutors, Cruse has a starring role in the video.
The girl identified herself and Cruse in the video.
Closing arguments were expected to begin Wednesday.
Cruse is the second person to be tried in this case. Eric McGowen was convicted in his trial and sentenced to 99 years in prison.
Several other men charged in the case have reached plea bargains.

Brave Rishton gran's message on breast cancer checks
3:50pm Monday 7th January 2013
By Jessica Cree
3:50pm Monday 7th January 2013
By Jessica Cree
A 75-YEAR-OLD great-grandmother who under-went a mastectomy is urging other women not to ignore signs of pot-ential breast cancer.
Doreen Sanderson had to undergo three operations within five weeks last August when doctors diagnosed she had cancer.
The retired school cook, who lives in Parker Street, Rishton, had been on holiday with her partner Frank Jex, 74, when she noticed bleeding coming from her breast.
She put it down to anxiety after losing her husband Michael in 2009.
But when it continued, she decided to get checked out by her GP.
Mrs Sanderson said: "The bleeding had cleared up for a few months, but it came back again.
"On the third time I thought I had better go see about it.
"There was nobody more shocked than me because I thought there was nothing wrong with me.
"They referred me to the breast clinic at Burnley and the doctor there said I needed an operation.
"When I went back for the results, they said they were sorry but that I had to have my breast removed."
After having an operation to remove her left breast, Mrs Sanderson was also told that the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and needed another operation to remove them.
But the mother-of-two is now recovering at home, taking tablets instead of having chemotherapy, and she celebrated with a birthday party at the Free Gardeners Working Men's Club, Rishton, which raised £400 for research into breast cancer She added: "I would defin-itely encourage people to go and get tested.
"Whatever you feel, just go and have it done because you never know."
Mr Jex, who is well known in local entertainment circles, and lives in Dunoon Drive, Shadsworth, Black-burn said: "Doreen has been so brave with what she has put up with and she has never let it get her down."

With the start of QE3 and indefinite bond buying by the Fed, the financial crisis continues to morph. This idea was promulgated by El-Erian of Pimco who claims that a crisis of bank balance sheets may evolve into a crisis of sovereign balance sheets.
We already see an outline of what a sovereign balance sheet crisis may look like in Greece. Previously, we discussed the metaphor of septic shock and the need for emergent resuscitation with liquidity as a temporary salve, as covered in the first piece – Of Lasix and liquidity. In the last of this three-part series, we look at how a complement metaphor in the form of epileptic activity may forewarn and outline steps to minimize the chances or aftermath of the next possible financial convulsion.

BWW Interviews: Comedian Brian Regan Brings Stand-up Comedy to Majestic Theatre in San Antonio
Brian Regan is a comedian who has been performing since the 1980s. He first got the bug to do comedy while in college at Heidelberg College in Ohio. He was majoring in Communication and Theatre Arts. When he heard the audiences' reaction to his comedic lines in a play he was in, Brian was hooked. Ever since then, Brian has been working at refining his talent and entertaining audiences all over. He continues to draw sell-out crowds and a diverse audience. His comedy is the kind that many can relate to and you wouldn't be afraid to repeat to your boss or your children. Brian recently shared with me some of his memories of his career as well as his enthusiasm for comedy.
Many comedians describe themselves as the family/class clown, etc. Was comedy always present in your life? What was the first time you performed onstage? Tell us about it.
Yes, comedy was always present in my house. My mom and my dad are funny. They had 8 children and are all funny; I being one of them. Comedy at the beginning, at least the way I tried it, had a fictional quality to it. It was weird because I'd be onstage in front of all my friends and saying, "So, I'm on a bus this morning…" And they're like, "No you weren't." And I'm like, "No, no, no, I know I really wasn't but just kind of pretend I was." "Well, it's kinda hard for us to do that." I thought, "Wow, I need to try this in front of strangers."
You have 2 children right? How old are they now?
My boy is 13 and my girl is 8.
What do they think about Dad doing this all the time?
I think they're proud of their Daddy. It makes me feel really cool. I take them with me quite often when I travel on my road gigs. They hang around backstage. They go from town to town with me. Not all the time, but once every couple of months I take them on a road weekend with me. I think it's pretty cool and I like to think they think it's pretty cool too.
Do you try out new material on them?
I do. Not so much to see whether or not it's something I'm going to try out onstage, but whenever you think of something new, you want to bounce it off the people who are closest to you and that often times in my kids. I'll just say it and they obviously have the kid perspective on things. I don't use whether or not they think it's funny as a deciding factor but it's just fun to bounce things off them.
Your shows are really family friendly. Everyone can attend. Children attend, grandmas and grandpas attend; is there a reason you choose to keep your show that way?
To me it's just fun performing the way I do. It wasn't for any reason other than I get a kick out of seeing if I can make people laugh out of everyday kind of topics. It just happens to be clean. There are comedians out there who are blue or dirty who I think are great. They're doing their thing, I'm doing my thing. What's funny, you mentioned earlier about the different people that come to the shows. I think that because it's clean, some people feel comfortable bringing younger people or even older people. I was performing somewhere and a family came backstage that included their 80 something year old grandmother. She was very sweet. And she said to me, "So how long have you been in Vaudeville?" "Since 1920, I guess." Vaudeville, that was hysterical.
Who most inspires you?
There are many comedians out there who are doing fun, interesting things. I tend to like people who are unique, forging their own paths. Maria Bamford is a comedian who does very interesting quirky characters; she's funny to me. Bill Burr; a comedian out of Boston he does…not rough…but he can throw some 4 letter words in there but he's got an interesting perspective on things and I think he's somebody who's going to be pretty big. I like Jerry Seinfeld for how he gets a lot of comedy out of very simple everyday things. I've always liked that. George Carlin, who's no longer with us, I admired his ability to write. He kept pumping out material. I liked him for his ability to keep cranking out new stuff.
You had an opportunity to be on the Johnny Carson show? What do you remember about that experience?
That expression dream come true gets thrown around a lot but in that case it was true. At the time, every comedian's dream was to be on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. I was fortunate enough to get on there about a year before he retired. There are a lot of things I remember about that. One thing in particular was standing behind the curtain and hearing him introduce me. It's other worldly. It's surreal. You're listening to a man that you have been listening to ever since you were little staying up late and he's talking about me; he's introducing me. It's dreamlike. You're thinking it's some kind of bizarre dream. And he introduced me and the curtain opened and I couldn't believe I was walking out onto the stage. You're there to do stand-up but you're also experiencing the whole thing while it's happening. There's a lot of stuff going on in your head during those 5 minutes.
What are some other stand-out moments in your career?
I'm fortunate to have a regular thing on the Late Show with David Letterman; soon I'll be doing my 25th appearance. I take a lot of pride in the fact that they like me enough to keep having me come back. That means a lot to me. Being able to perform around the country still doesn't get old. Every couple of weeks I'm going to the airport and flying to all parts of the country. Being able to do stand-up for a living is pretty darn cool.
I know you have been doing theatres for a while now, what made you decide to transition from Comedy Clubs to theatre? Do you like it better?
In a way I like it better because people are 100% focused in a theatre but I still like the Comedy Clubs. In fact I'm doing a handful this summer to re-experience that. It's been about 7 years since I've performed in Comedy Clubs. I'm enjoying again the intimacy of that. Both experiences are fun in different ways.
Since this is Broadway World, I have to ask, have you been to Broadway plays?
I saw Beauty and the Beast when Donny Osmondwas playing Gaston. That was amazing because I found out that he knew who I was and invited me to see him perform. It was so bizarre to be sitting in a Broadway theatre and think I couldn't believe that I was there and that Donny invited me and wanted me to come backstage. It was a blast.
Do you think you will see more Broadway plays if the opportunity avails?
My major in college was Communication and Theatre Arts. I was in a handful of plays when I was in college. I liked that world. It was one of my first experiences being onstage as an actor. I feel weird even calling myself an actor. I was more of a student who was in a play every now and again. I loved the experience and I'd like to be able to do more of it.
What are some shows you did when you were in college?
I was in Dracula. I played Mr. Butterworth who was the comic relief role. It was one of my first times feeling that bug of getting laughs. I didn't have a big role. I went out and did my handful of lines and for whatever reason it just really seemed to connect. I remember thinking that it was wonderfully fun. I also played in King Lear. I played one of his sons. I played football in the first semester of each year and I was in plays the second semester each year. These things are 2 completely disparate worlds and it was weird because guys on the football team had no idea I was in the theatre and people in the theatre department had no idea I played football. I liked having my feet in 2 distinctly different worlds.
If you had to give this all up tomorrow, what would you do?
Hopefully it would be something creative. When I was in college I had a cartoon strip and a humorous advice column. I remember trying to get my cartoon strip syndicated. I think I sent examples of my cartoon to one syndication company. They sent me a rejection letter and I wasn't experienced enough back then to realize that you don't just give up. I figured that was all, I couldn't be a cartoonist, here's the rejection letter. Maybe I would go back into cartoons or make videos or something, but I would think it would have to be creative because that's what interests me.
Any advice for someone wanting to be a stand-up comedian?
You need to have passion. That's true for a lot of things you want to get into. It's not an easy road especially at the beginning. It takes a while to get good so you have to endure a lot of bad shows and bad nights. If you're not willing to go through that, you probably shouldn't get into the business. But if you have the passion and are willing to ride out the ride both the ups and downs, it can be thrilling.
Brian Regan will be appearing at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio, Texas on August 18, 2012. Tickets are available by going to their website.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/5/2012 (1913 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
So a Jewish guy and some Christians travel across a Muslim country. It sounds like a joke in search of a punchline, but it's actually how I spent much of the month of May.
For 12 days, I found myself in the back of a Toyota Land Cruiser on a highway in Niger, one of Africa's least developed countries, driving between isolated farming villages and the dusty capital, Niamey.
I was effectively embedded with two staffers from the Winnipeg-based Canadian Foodgrains Bank, an umbrella organization for 15 Canadian Christian charities. The CFGB finances food-aid and food-security programs across the Sahel region, where millions face malnutrition in the coming months due to a complex array of environmental, social and geopolitical factors.
Niger suffers from droughts, floods, crop failures, deforestation, soil erosion, rapid population growth, high child mortality and low education. The average Nigerien woman has 7.5 children. Wars or civil conflicts consume most of the neighbouring countries. The average daytime high in May is 42 C, a temperature even people living on the edge of the Sahara Desert do not consider comfortable.
The natural biodiversity in Niger has been replaced by a near-monoculture of millet, interspersed with native acacias, introduced neem trees and the occasional baobab. The gazelles are gone, replaced by goats that greedily consume what little biomass is left on the ground and in the bushes.
Those goats stand on their hind legs to reach the leaves the most desperate rural people sometimes gather and boil for hours in an effort to ward off hunger for a little while.
None of this will seem new if you happened to read the stories I filed from Niger. And very little of this will be of interest to Canadians who don't like to think about a part of the planet that does not fit into the happy narrative of a developing planet where everyone's standard of living is on the way up.
Depressing images out of Africa are among the worst possible media stereotypes: They only confirm deeply ingrained Western ideas about insurmountable problems that supposedly plague the entire continent.
As a reporter with some degree of self-awareness, I had no desire to go to Africa and perpetuate those stereotypes. But you can only write what you see and what I saw was not overly encouraging, even though I did not witness actual starvation or famine conditions.
With one exception, the villages I visited were all beneficiaries of some form of food-distribution program that was keeping people alive. Images out of neighbouring Chad during the same period illustrated a far more desperate situation in areas of the Sahel where no one appears to be distributing food just yet.
After I returned to Canada, a couple of colleagues and family members noted I wrote impersonally and dispassionately while I was in Niger. That was deliberate, as it would have been hubris to spend a few days on the ground and pretend to actually understand the place.
But now that I'm back, I feel comfortable digesting the experience in the most public way imaginable. And I'm not afraid to say it only confirmed two seemingly contradictory ideas -- the limitless capacity for individual human beings to engage in selfless acts of kindness and generosity and the extremely limited capacity of this planet to handle so many human beings.
As a Jew, I am prone to cynicism about humanity. That is my ethnic imperative. As a secular humanist, I possess nothing that resembles what religious people of any background would identify as spirituality or faith.
Hence my emotional discomfort at experiencing almost no emotional discomfort whatsoever when my worst fears about the planet seem to have materialized, to some extent, in one dusty corner of the planet.
In Niger, the human population is growing more quickly than its ability to extract enough resources to sustain itself, at least not without the help of the outside world. This is the classic Malthusian nightmare: humanity doomed to an endless struggle to survive.
Such dark ideas were deemed laughable during the optimistic days when the green revolution reduced starvation in populous places such as India. But unhappy days are here again, exacerbated by dramatic climate change.
In the developed world, we have the luxury of entertaining the idea climate change is just a theoretical concept, even though only a tiny minority of serious academics and their acolytes dispute the notion.
In Niger, villager after villager spoke of shorter growing seasons, hotter temperatures, fewer trees and less ground cover. But those were just anecdotes. Satellite pictures, ground surveys and actual measurements have confirmed these phenomena across the Sahel. The cause -- natural or anthropomorphic -- is irrelevant.
As a result, aid and development agencies in Africa talk of adaptation to climate change. They are no longer planning to mitigate the effects of too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and are instead planning to deal with the effects.
Here on the Canadian Prairies, winter temperatures are growing milder, spring precipitation is intensifying and severe weather events appear to be increasing, although the latter phenomenon is not as well-established. But we remain wealthy enough to deal with our own new abnormal and haven't really started talking about adaptation -- because we don't have to do so.
Human beings behave collectively like individual elementary school students. We don't like to do our homework until the night before it's due. We don't like to do anything that's uncomfortable or inconvenient if we don't have to. And we certainly tend toward helping ourselves and the people around us rather than acting toward the greater good.
My Christian travelling partners in Niger have greater faith in humanity than I do. I would argue most observant Christians, Jews, Muslims and members of other faiths have greater hope for the future than do quasi-athiests such as myself. Depending on your perspective, that's either the main benefit or encumbrance of religion.
But if you'll permit me to be very personal and very passionate, unlike my reporting from Niger, I will confess I was ecstatic to return to the developed world.
While I was gone, the biggest news in my hometown was the misappropriation of professional hockey tickets and the death of a logic-devoid plan to sell a prime chunk of downtown land without entertaining rival bids.
Let's build a water park along the Niger River and hand out Jets tickets in Niamey. The goats will rise on their hind legs in appreciation, gobble up the precious paper and then return to the dusty orange soil, padding about on all fours and dreaming goat dreams about green leaves to unfurl in future, better days.

There is an important specialty in the olfactory nerves that differentiates them from the other kinds of neurons. While the hundreds of billions of neurons in our brains do not renew themselves instead staying the same throughout all of our lives, the millions of olfactory cells in our nose live approximately 45 days. After this time, new cells replace the dead cells. The place where the new olfactory cells are built is in the basal cells in the olfactory region. Basal cells produce the cells continually with great order and they work like an olfactory cell production factory.
Be aware that approximately in every 45 days, millions of your olfactory cells change completely, however, you continue to smell the scent of a rose as a rose and the scent of an orange as an orange. If there is an error during the handover of the olfactory cells, you may smell many of the scents wrongly or cannot smell any scent altogether. Because there will be no possibility to correct an error like that, your smelling sense will deceive you constantly and will be a source of great burden to you. However, this kind of thing never happens by the permission of Allah and the new olfactory cells continue with their duties perfectly.
Without a doubt, all of these things are one of the proofs of Allah's faultless creation Who is the Owner of an infinite wisdom and power. Every part, every cell, every molecule and every atom which form the smelling system acts in a way which Allah inspires in them, from the first day of their creation. Allah tells each one of them in detail how to act in every moment. This truth is stated in a verse of the Qur'an as thus:
It is Allah Who created the seven heavens and of the earth the same number, the Command descending down through all of them, so that you might know that Allah has power over all things and that Allah encompasses all things in His knowledge. (Surat at-Talaq, 12)
During the day we breathe air from our nose. While our nose transforms the air inhaled into a most proper state for our lungs, it also directs some of this air into the smelling region of the nose, so that we can smell at the same time. Most people do not know that he or she owns an incredible chemical analysis facility. This facility is placed in the smelling region of our nose and works nonstop like a chemical factory to analyze the smells around us. While we perform our daily routines, not showing any extra effort for smelling, this facility is in operation. Even at night during our sleep, it can detect a harmful smell like smoke and warn us. This facility is such an unparalleled creation that it can recognize more then ten thousand different scents and works with a perfect accuracy rate and sensibility.
Some cells in our sensory systems
As we can see, every sensorial cell has a special configuration. Olfactory cells consist of three main parts. In the middle part is the cell body, which has platelets called cilia on the one end and an extension called axon on the other end.
The place of the olfactory bulb in our skull and details of its structure
The system in the olfactory bulb is very complex. In the side figure there are only two types of olfactory cells which have different receptors shown (Brown and Blue), two glomerulus and a couple of cells. Keep this in mind, the smelling system consists of tens of millions of olfactory cells, thousands of different smell receptors, two thousand glomerulus, tens of thousands of mitral cells, clumped cells, granule cells and periglomerular cells. If this truth is taken into account, the complexity mentioned here can be better understood.
Another amazing point about our smelling system is that the new olfactory nerves are able to find their way to the olfactory bulb without any error. There are no directional signs in our nose or brain. There are also no questions for the new cells to ask about their way or to learn it. It is not possible to explain the lifelong and faultless renewal process in our olfactory nerves by using calculation of probabilities. There is no distinction between the claim that the building of the connections between the millions of olfactory nerves are coincidental or the similar claim that the cables which constitute the telephone system of a big city like Istanbul of having been laid without a fault by the winds, lightnings and coincidences. Without a doubt, all of these things are the proofs of Allah's perfect creation, Who has infinite wisdom and power.

• squelch •
Pronunciation: skwelch • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb
Meaning: 1. (Transitive) To quash, put an end to suddenly, curtail abruptly and firmly. 2. (Intransitive) To make a sucking sound like pulling your foot out of soft mud.
Notes: This interesting Good Word has few relatives. Squelchy, the adjective, is derived from the second sense of the noun, "making or apt to make a squelching sound." The noun, on the other hand, belongs to the first sense of squelch. A squelcher is someone who or something that squelches in the sense of "quashes".
In Play: We all know the familiar meaning of this word: "I tried to lighten up the party by doing my impression of the Queen Mother with a lampshade on my head, but my wife squelched it." It's the second meaning that we are not accustomed to hearing very much: "After squelching through the soppy field for a half hour, Milka Macau's boots full of mud."
Word History: The origin of today's Good Word is somewhat murky. Most etymologists think it is onomatopoeic. However, there are enough related words in English to bring that interpretation into question. First of all, it works as well without the initial S: quelch means about the same thing. This fact parallels the situation with squash. It, too, can do without the initial S: quash. The third peculiarity is that quell is very similar in spelling and meaning to quelch, but we would have to explain the CH to trace it back through this word. So, its ultimate source is left in the dark. (I wouldn't want to squelch John Young's enthusiasm for suggesting Good Words like today's, so thank you, John.)

CES 2013: Sharp Demoes Double-UHD (8K) Set, Two 4K Sets, 21 New Aquos 3D Smart TVs
Jason Mick
January 7, 2013 1:30 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Subpixel processing and a pair of 4K sets promise to up the graphical ante of the Aquos line
Corp. (
) showed off a variety of TV sets this morning at a press event at the
2013 Consumer Electronics Show
at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Central themes were big,
high resolution
, and smarter televisions.
I. 3D, Smart TVs are Here to Stay, Says Sharp
The Japanese set-maker continues to forge ahead with its own proprietary smart TV technology dubbed "SmartCentral". Its refresh of its Aquos line includes 21 new sets distributed among the 6-Series (low-end), 7-Series (mid-range), and 8-Series (high-end). Each set features a dual-core ARM architecture processor. The sets range from 60+ inches to 80+ inches.
The latest version of SmartCentral adds the ability to use your Android or iOS device as a remote control. It also features SmartBeam, which allows you to push files from your mobile device onto your LCD set. A Flash- and HTML5-capable web browser will also be built into the sets.
Taking a page from Apple, Inc.'s (
) playbook, Sharp's luxury 7- and 8-Series models feature diamond-cut silver brushed-aluminum finishes.
Sharp Aquos 8-Series (60-inch)
All of the TVs have built in Wi-Fi and 1080p "Active" 3D compatibility. The new twist on 3D is improved filtering on the Bluetooth link; customers can now use the Bluetooth powered glasses without fear of interference from other Bluetooth signals (previously customers were advised to turn off other Bluetooth-communications in the area when watching 3D content).
Also included in the lineup is Sharp's proprietary sub-pixel processing, which the company claims offers double the detail per pixel as rival RGBY/RGB LCD designs.
The lineup answers two of the big questions of
few years'
shows -- will 3D and smart-TVs flare out? While neither technology has wowed in terms of adoption or customer enthusiasm, the solution Sharp and other manufacturers appear to be pursuing is to simply overhaul the entire lineup to feature some level of these technologies.
II. Going Big
Sharp was also eager to plug its 90-inch LED set, which it brags is the biggest available LED-illuminated LCD TV on the market. Launched in June 2012, this will continue to be a crown jewel in the company's lineup, getting a minor refresh with improved SmartCentral technology.
But 1080 is not the final destination for Sharp. The company will be launching a pair of 4K (3,840 × 2,160 pixel) sets this year. Sharp dubs these models "ultra-HD" (UHD) sets, pointing out that they quadruple the pixel count of 1080p.
[Image Source: Jason Mick/DailyTech]
The first, the ICC Purios, will hit this summer. Named after Sharp's processor partner -- the I-cubed Research Center Inc. (ICC) -- the ICC Purious will pack ICC's (integrated cognitive creation) image processor, which supposedly mimics the way a human brain deals with images. The 60-inch set is the first 4K model to receive THX certification, according to Sharp.
Sharp ICC Purios
Sharp will push out a second set -- an Aquos-branded UHD set -- sometime in the second half of the year. That set will feature an upscaler, which will try to convert standard 1080p content to 4K (similar to how the Sony Corp. (
) PS3 upscales DVD content to 1080p).
The latter set will also feature "Moth Eye" a nano-scale conical coating, which mimics moth eyes. Apparently moths have evolved the ability to minimize glare off their eye lenses to avoid predation. Inspired by nature, Sharp applied a similar design to eliminate glare on the set.
In case that wasn't enough, Sharp showed off an 85-inch 8K LED-lit LCD TV prototype (7680 x 4320 pixel). The ultra-ultra HD (so to speak) set won't be available this year, but Sharp calls it a "glimpse of the future of high definition".

HOUSTON - A comment from a frustrated police officer became the jumping-off point for a Local 2 hidden camera investigation.
During a previous story about gang activity at schools, a police officer told Local 2 Investigates how frustrated he was that minors can easily purchase dangerous bladed weapons at flea markets and convenience stores around Houston.
With that comment in mind, Local 2 Investigates went undercover. With his parents' permission, we gave a 16-year-old boy a few bucks, a hidden camera and sent him shopping.
Local 2's investigation began by sending the teen into a north-side flea market where he quickly found a booth selling swords, daggers and knives. A few minutes later, the teen walked out with a double-pronged dagger with a nearly 10-inch-long blade that could easily be concealed in a backpack.
"Did anybody ever ask age your age?" Local 2 investigator Robert Arnold asked.
"No, not at all," Tyler Colbert, the 16-year-old boy, said.
Since the merchant did not seem concerned with the age of his customers, Local 2 sent Colbert back into the flea market to see what other weapons he could buy.
"Right here, is that sword real?" Colbert asked the merchant.
"Yes," the merchant replied.
The merchant then showed Colbert a pair of samurai swords and a large two-handed sword. The merchant even offered Colbert a deal on the two samurai swords.
"For both of them or just one?" Colbert asked.
"Ah, two, seven," the merchant said.
Colbert then walked out of the flea market with both samurai swords and the heavy long sword.
"I got all these for under $60," Colbert told Arnold.
"Did you ever think you could buy it on your own?" Arnold asked.
"No, never," Colbert said. "Usually there's a sign that says '18 or older' or something like that, but it was really easy for me to walk in there and grab them."
If you think daggers and swords are a little grandiose, Local 2 also sent Colbert into a corner convenience store. Without asking a single question, the clerk sold him a knife with a blade that was just over 2 inches.
"Definitely, it concerns me about my safety and my friends' safety," said Colbert.
Local 2 then took the findings of the investigation to Houston Independent School District Assistant Police Chief Robert Mock.
"When you have these kind of weapons available it makes that job tougher," said Mock.
Mock even examined some of the weapons Colbert was able to purchase.
"It's obvious what the intent is. It's not a prop … it's heavy, it's well made," said Mock, referring to the large sword purchased by Colbert. "Some of the stuff you showed me may not on the surface be illegal, but it's definitely a problem when you bring it to school."
It is a felony if these type of weapons are brought on to a school campus.
Mock said he's also concerned the students buying these weapons might think it's cool.
"We just need to make sure we educate our students on what is appropriate and what is not appropriate," said Mock.
What about those selling these weapons to kids?
"What you're looking at may take some kind of concerted effort between counties, municipalities and school district police to see how that needs to be addressed,' said Mock.
Local 2's investigation will continue Friday at 10 p.m. when we examine exactly how many weapons are brought to schools throughout the Houston area.
