Sharp geeks out with its IGZO technology
Sharp Chairman and CEO Toshi Osawa takes the stage to say that Sharp is in the midst of great change. Its IGZO screen tech stands for indium, gallium, zinc, and oxygen.
Here's where CNET tumbles product reviews and cool tech and science news, photos, and videos. And must-see geek goodness, of course.

Looking at a solution for the P.E. department to take registers via Lesson Monitor. Thought about SIMS own Lesson Monitor Mobile add in and PDA's but seems costly for something that has little practical use other than taking registers.
Considering netbooks because of portability, solid state drives as they're bound to get a bit of hammer and can be used for usual web/office based tasks which is all P.E. are going to need them for.
So, has anyone tried running SIMS on a netbook over wireless?

Only in the Heat of the Moment? A Study of the Relation between Weather and Mortality in Germany
AbstractIn this study we analyze the relationship between heat events and mortality in Germany. The main research questions are: Does heat lead to rising mortality and if yes, are the e ects persistent or compensated for in the near future? Furthermore, we consider di erences between heat e ects in urban and rural environments. Cause speci c daily mortality and meteorological data were connected on the county level. We allow for static as well as dynamic relations between extreme temperatures and mortality and compare di erent panel data estimation approaches. We nd that heat has a signi cant positive impact on mortality. The strongest e ects can be observed on the same day and the rst week afterwards. The mortality increase ranges between 0.003 and 3.5 per 100,000 inhabitants depending on the particular death cause. We do not nd a signi cant negative, and thus compensating, impact in the medium term, which is contrary to the Harvesting Hypothesis. Using a value of statistical life approach we estimate that each additional hot day in Germany induces a total loss of e1,861M. Moreover, the environment plays an important role. The heat induced increase in mortality is signi cantly higher in urban areas.

Antique Victor Victrola Talking Machine VV-IX 1916
We find the most interesting Victor Phonographs. Here are the best deals we found for the Antique Victor Victrola Talking Machine VV-IX 1916 for sale on the Internet.
Antique Victor Victrola Talking Machine VV-IX 1916 Picture(s) and Description:
This is the second time I have listed this and have had issues with the shipping or people not wanting to pay. This item is already packaged and wrapped very well to protect from damage (Triple Boxed) It will be mailed the day it is purchased. The package is just over 70 lbs and is very large so it is expensive to ship. Please read description before bidding so there are not any issues. Thanks Please do not let me not having feedback scare you from bidding. I have been selling on ebay for years and have been dealing with antiques for quite some time. I have been selling under the name English01 with my brother but am on my own now. All of my ityems are guaranteed authentic and as described or 100% refund no questions asked. This is a 1916 Victor Victrola XX-VI Talking Machine that comes with about 30 needles and a Exhibition Talking Machine Tone Arm. Everything on this unit works and plays great. The crank works great, the start and stop work great, and the speed also works very well. This is a large unit measuring 20x16x16 and is Mahogany. This Victor is a 1916 and I can tell from the serial number which is 247664-G. The case is in great shape but needs a good dusting. The doors open to slanted trays. All of the trim and feet are also in great shape with no damage anywhere. There are a few small screws missing on the hardware that holds the lid on but that is minor. Don't miss out on this great early Victrola. You will be pleased with your purchase completely or I will issue refund as well as return shipping. You can research this unit very easily by putting in the serial number online. This item will be listed with no reserve. I just picked up a large amount of some very nice early and unique antiques that I will be adding over the next week and weekly there after so stay tuned for hot new items. If you have any questions please ask and I will answer as quick as possible. Good Luck! This item is very heavy so it reflects in the shipping. I pack all items very well to help prevent any damage during travel. I ship world wide. Buyer is responsible for 100% of all shipping charges, the price I put for shipping is an estimate and usually good for most of the U.S. The Victor is already packaged and ready to go. It weighs 71lbs so hopefully that will explain the shipping price a little bit. On Feb-18-11 at 19:29:09 PST, seller added the following information: I did not notice it until I was packing this item up but I found the original label on the bottom of this Victrola that had a date of 1906 but the serial number dated it 1916 I thought. Maybe it was a patent date. Either way I did not get a picture of it but if you would like one prior to bidding please ask and I can send more pictures. The label is complete and very legible.

The City of Kennesaw earned 4th place in the medium-sized companies division of the Atlanta Business Chronicle's Atlanta's Healthiest Employers Awards. The announcement was made at an awards breakfast on Feb. 15. The city had placed 8th in 2012.
Each year, the Chronicle partners with Healthiest Employers LLC, a data aggregation and analytics organization developed to help improve wellness programming outcomes. Healthiest Employers collects, measures, and compares corporate wellness data worldwide. Atlanta companies were invited to take a survey that measured workplace wellness efforts, then scored in six categories.
Kennesaw's award cited its focus on showing individuals how to change their lifestyles for the better. The city works with Communit-Y Health Network in a comprehensive wellness program for employees including annual health assessments and one-on-one coaching. Additionally, its "Fit City" community health outreach promotes nutrition, exercise, and stress reduction and encourages participants to combat obesity and inactivity and improve their quality of life. "Healthy initiatives and programs are critical in any industry because they focus on the employee," said Human Resources Director LisaRae Jones. "Our employees are our largest and most important asset."
Editor's note: This was prepared by Kennesaw spokeswoman Pam Davis.

"Invictus": Can't Quite Conquer Other Great Sports Movies [1]
The word "invictus" comes from the Latin "unconquered" and is kind of a misnomer when describing this film. On one hand, this does have a lot going for it. Morgan Freeman gives a tremendous performance as Nelson Mandela as does Matt Damon as Rugby captain Francois Pienaar. Plus, it's directed by Clint Eastwood who is the Phil Jackson of directors. However, in spite of these things I didn't leave the theater as inspired as I should be, not because I knew how it would end (with sports movies that's to be expected), but I didn't feel like they went far enough.
Quick history lesson:
In 1995 Nelson Mandela was elected President of South Africa. He wanted to bring his people together after the elimination of apartheid and he decided to do that by hosting the 1995 Rugby World Cup and encouraging the minorities in his country to get behind Francois Piennaar and the rest of the Rugby team despite the racial tensions.
In and of itself this was a wonderful story. But the film never really went in depth about everything that had happened to Mandela prior to his election, although they hint at it. They also lack the one thing that makes a good sports movie a great sports movie...there is no chill moment.
A chill moment is a term coined by ESPN columnist Bill Simmons when describing the moment of a movie that is so powerful you get a chill up your spine. This is seen in such classics as "Rudy" or "Hoosiers". Since the film never seems to delve into the lives of any of its characters, including Mandela, we never ultimately care too much once South Africa gets to the finals. So, while the performances are amazing, I can't say the same about the story, which is a shame considering Clint Eastwood's success in this genre with "Million Dollar Baby."
Interesting note: ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary entitled "One Simple Gesture" is about the same subject and is actually produced by Morgan Freeman. Hopefully that will better help me understand the gravity of that moment.
If this does not sound like your cup of tea, then you may want to check out the thriller "The Lovely Bones" or for the kids there's Disney's return to traditional animation "The Princess and the Frog."
Thank You for reading and stay tuned as I travel to Pandora and get my very own "Avatar".
You can see these and other movies at your local Edwards cinema. Click here for show times [3].

I may be just an ordinary girl, but I have an extraordinary dream. A dream that comes from deep within a heart, that an ordinary girl would want. To be part of something bigger, bigger than all of us. And though we already are, the time will come when there's a great big fuss. The air will rise, the smoke will die, and nothing has changed but still the change will come from deep within a heart. A heart that will conquer all, that's been true all-along.

Universal Banking
Definition of 'Universal Banking'
A banking system in which banks provide a wide variety of financial services, including both commercial and investment services. Universal banking is common in some European countries, including Switzerland. In the United States, however, banks are required to separate their commercial and investment banking services. Proponents of universal banking argue that it helps banks better diversify risk. Detractors think dividing up banks' operations is a less risky strategy.
Investopedia explains 'Universal Banking'
Universal banks may offer credit, loans, deposits, asset management, investment advisory, payment processing, securities transactions, underwriting and financial analysis. While a universal banking system allows banks to offer a multitude of services, it does not require them to do so. Banks in a universal system may still choose to specialize in a subset of banking services.

text: The heart-shaped diamond is the most romantic of diamond shapes. It is similar to the Pear shape, but has a cleft in the rounded end that forms the lobes of the heart. Important considerations when choosing a Heart shape diamond are its symmetry, shape definition and outline, and the roundness of the lobes which should be rounded and clearly defined. A moderate bow tie formation at the center of the diamond is beneficial as it improves contrast brilliance and face up beauty of the diamond. Heart-shaped diamonds should be mounted in special settings with five prongs: two at the lobes of the heart, two on the sides of the heart, and a V-shaped prong to protect the point of the heart.
