Approx 8 p.m. EST.
I'm sure obozo will save the day.
(got out early enuff to tune in for a bit)
Done. (Putting your name on ping list).
Thanks for posting the photos above plus links.
When I took over this job from MaryLou, I told her that I'd gladly post the thread on a weekly basis — but that I could not post photos, etc., so I appreciate you doing this.
I'm supposed to do this "Admin" thing only temporarily, or when someone else decides that they want to take over and do it on a daily basis.
We got so much snow and ice today here in Southern Maryland!
My TV schedule tonight is as follows:
5pm - The Five
6pm - Watch "Gravity" with hubby & son
8pm - Glue myself to cable news networks to see if Russia will pull this deadline or nor
nor = not
I can't commit to it daily...
I'm here because of the Ukraine situation....
My sister's area in Michigan was 14 below a couple of days ago, but heck, it's Michigan
Oh yes, no problem, fishtank.
I'll gladly do it... anything for The Savage Nation!
I saw a recent satellite photo of the Great Lakes — and the frozen state in which they're in is frightening!
Please remove me from the ping list . I'll never forgive Savage for his treatment of Jimmy from Brooklyn last Friday .
Russia has denied ultimatum now
Will do.
Sorry to see you go, sushiman. I enjoy your comments very much. I did not listen to Savage on Friday — could it be possible for you to post on what was said to Jimmy from Brooklyn (or the 'gist' of it?)
If you don't feel like it, I understand.
Good! I can now watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills at 8pm, as per my usual Monday night routine.....
Listen from 8:00 on this link .
Agreed that Savage was harsh to Jimmy about the "high school dropout" remark (that was bad), but all I have to say about the other details is that it is "one man's opinion", as Michael says all the time.
I listen to Michael daily for the mere fact that he's critical of both Democrats and Republicans, but I see how some (myself included) can disagree with him at times.
Thanks for the link...
that was horrible, I dont feel sorry for jimmy though, he can handle it I am sure (i hope)
jimmy is what he wishes he was like-he is the true guy in the window in the undershirt -not you savage! you phony!
i havent listened to savage since he changed times - not interested, this just backs up my choice not to
him and his bs "credentials" and "what do you do for a living" crap is so shallow and petty
what an asshole
anyway i'm with you 100% sushiman-buh bye savage
Jimmy DARED to disagree with one of Savage's (few) guests so he got THE treatment . Shameful behavior . It's down to just Kuhner and Plante as regulars now .
Putin test fired an ICBM. Timing is just a co-inky-dink, right?
Let's compare his ICBM with our ICBM. We'd flatten Western Russia in hours. The problem here is the guy in the White House.
No one listening... Good!
I are listening.
"People having children like dogs"
re: women drives children into ocean.
I'm here too!
This is where Savage loses me, he goes off on Obama claiming there will be some sort of green police, equivalent to Hitler's SA, green shock troops which is out in conspiracy bongo land but then he thinks Hillary Clinton is nuts for making some apt comparisons between Putin's Crimea land grab and Hitler's Sudentland grab.
I like that Savage tries to think different but sometimes I can't take his back and forth thinking.
http:www.MikeFrancesa.com/forums the offer is still up for people to migrate the Michael Savage message board forum at the above site, if you email the admin over there and get signed up, I will put up a daily thread.

Fake collar bomb blackmailer jailed for ten years over his 'indescribable' act of terror
- Paul Peters broke into 18-year-old Madeleine Pulver's £8m Sydney home
- Wearing ski mask, he strapped metal box around her neck with bike chain
- Tried to extort money from her parents claiming box contained explosives
- Peters wept in the dock as judge sentenced him to a minimum of ten years
- Madeleine: I want future 'where Paul Peters' name is not linked with mine'
The man who subjected Australian teenager Madeleine Pulver to 12 hours of terror when he attached a fake collar bomb around her neck was jailed for a minimum of 10 years today.
As he jailed Paul Douglas Peters, Judge Peter Zahra said in the New South Wales Supreme Court that the terror the 18-year-old would have felt 'cannot be described'.
Wearing a rainbow-coloured ski mask, Peters, now 52, broke into her family's £8million home in the wealthy Sydney suburb of Mosman on August 3 last year and strapped a black metal box around Madeleine's neck with a bicycle chain.
Sent down: Paul Douglas Peters (pictured) has been jailed for a minimum of ten years after subjecting teenager Madeleine Pulver to 12 hours of terror when he attached a fake collar bomb around her neck
Deranged: Peters told a psychiatrist he had no memory of the crime, but suggested he had taken on the persona of a character in a book he was writing
A note attached to the device – which was finally found to be a hoax – was an extortion aimed against her parents, Bill and Belinda Pulver, along with a warning that the box contained sophisticated plastic explosives.
The note added that Madeleine and her family would suffer from a 'tragically avoidable explosion' if they failed to send 'funds' to a supplied email address.
Today Madeleine sat with her parents in the courtroom staring occasionally at the failed businessman as he wept in the dock while listening to the judge describe the fear that the schoolgirl would have felt as bomb disposal experts worked carefully to detach the device.
Referring to the note attached to the fake bomb, the judge said: 'The contents of the document…was to place the victim in fear that she would be killed.
'He was armed. He concealed his face…(Madeleine) was extremely vulnerable. It was a deliberate act of extortion.'
Horrific: Madeleine, pictured emerging from her home with her mother in Sydney, Australia, was used by Peters to try to extort money from her parents
Victim: Madeleine Pulver, who had a suspected bomb attached to her after a masked man entered her family's Mosman home in Sydney
Madeleine Pulver arrives by ambulance at the Royal North Shore Hospital after the siege
Peters, who was carrying a baseball bat when he broke into the house, had told a psychiatrist that he had no memory of the crime but suggested he had taken on the persona of a character in a book he was writing.
But the judge said it was 'unproductive to speculate' why Peters chose Madeleine, who was approached by the masked intruder when she was doing her homework in her bedroom, as his victim.
As Madeleine watched, Peters began to cry as Judge Zahra told of the unravelling of his life in the lead-up to his crime.
The court heard he had been left distraught by the breakdown of his marriage and career trouble, believing he had lost everything.
He told a psychiatrist that he had to find 'an ingenious way to trap myself' because he was drinking heavily and knew he needed help. 'I had to catch myself out,' he told the psychiatrist.
'I had to lay evidence along the way to trap myself.'
Millionaire's daughter Madeleine Pulver, 18, who was freed after spending hours with a 'bomb hanging round her neck'
The home of Madeleine Pulver, where bomb squad specialists safely freed her after 10 hours with a device attached around her neck, in the Sydney suburb of Mosman
The court was told that Peters had started to morph himself into John Chan, one of the characters in his book and he was looking for 'dual revenge for Chan and for me,' a defence the judge said he was 'not prepared to accept'.
Among those in the court was police officer Karen Lowden, described as a 'very courageous policewoman' who supported Madeleine during her ordeal when she was 'crying and scared for her life.'
Evidence was given that Peters was suffering from a bipolar disorder and was in a state of 'isolation and personality disintegration' when he committed the crime.
Although Madeleine's parents said after the sentencing that they were still baffled why Peters had chosen their daughter as his victim, Crown Prosecutor Margaret Cunneen told the court that he had simply 'gone to the wrong house', having initially intended to extort a wealthy trust beneficiary who also lived in Mosman.

Police cordon off the street where Madeleine Pulver endured a horrifying 10-hour ordeal
Peters was arrested in Kentucky, USA, two weeks after the crime.
Sentencing Peters to 13 years and six months in jail – with a minimum of 10 years to be served – Judge Zahra said the sentence called for a strong element of deterrence, both for the specific offender and this offender as an individual.
'The offender placed the victim in fear that she was going to die in order to export money from her family.
'The victim was vulnerable, being entitled to the sanctuary of her own home…the terror she experienced can only be described as unimaginable.'
Speaking outside the court, Madeleine
said she was pleased with the sentencing and that she and her family
could now look to a future 'where Paul Peters' name is not linked with
Her father said: 'She's a very, very special young lady who has handled herself with incredible poise and dignity throughout this trial.'

Rosemary Lowe-McConnell is one of the pioneers of tropical fish ecology. During a colourful and eventful career spanning over 45 years, she has worked in the tropical waters of Africa and South America and contributed significantly to our understanding of the ecology, zoogeography, phenology, evolution and taxonomy of tropical fishes. She has also assisted countless young ichthyologists and fisheries scientists and stimulated ichthyology through her lucid books on fish ecology. She continues to play an active role in the promotion of ichthyology and ecology from her home in Sussex in the English countryside. A brief biography and tribute is given so that her contributions to tropical fish ecology can be more widely appreciated.

Tinkering with
Tinkertoys Zometool
Zome is a nerd toy that allows you create all sorts of amazing polyhedral models. Some people are more serious about them than others.
Addendum: A couple of days ago, I picked up one of those generic "ball bearing and magnet" sets that allow you to build similar structures at Walgreens. It was $9.99 for a 250 piece set, which seemed pretty good. I assembled a stellated icosahedron, but I don't really recommend the set: the magnets are incredibly weak, and it's almost impossible to move the model without destroying it.

This is the Rolling Stones in their prime. The camera work and editing are good; the sound is very good. This is a Stones DVD that is well worth adding to your collection.
This version with the DVD and a CD of the concert is the one to buy. For any music marketing types reading this, DVD/CD combinations are the way to market concert DVDs, provided the price is right. I think most of us would pay an extra few dollars for a CD/DVD combo over just a DVD.

Excellent 4.0 /5 from 44 reviews
The hotel is an ok facility belonging to a family for generations. I have no complaints except that the bed was not a king bed but two joined single beds, obviously not the same thing. It is conveniently located if you come by public transport from the station, there is a nearby tram station. It is also easy to reach the airport. I was annoyed that the price I paid was well above the prices listed at the reception. When I complained, they said because there was the beer festival going. I wonder what's the point of hanging a price list at the reception if you can go almost 50% higher. I wonder if it is legal. Granted, it Was the price I had seen on Hotels.com but still does not seem right.
Upon arrival, there was a slight mix-up on specific room requests, but staff did their best to amend this problem. Rooms were large, very comfortable with all amenities needed. We had a good breakfast two of our mornings here (10 Euros) but were not able to fit dinner into our schedule. A good walk up a very steep hill from the center, but we purchased the transportation tickets which were good for all bus and train trips within the region, even to the Castle in Stuttgart. These tickets allow you to get on and off anywhere, anytime and were an excellent investment recommended and purchased at the hotel. The bus stopped only a block from the hotel. We would stay here again as it is a lovely, very well maintained hotel.
I arrived early before check in and my room was not available but they were very accomadating. They took my luggage and told me to come back in an hour and directed where to go for lunch. They even gave a me a free drink later on in the bar for the inconvenience. The room was very nice and the wifi worked great so i could still get work done and skype with the family. Very old school looking european hotel with a lot of character. When I go back I will not look to stay anywhere else, perfect location with wonderful and inviting staff and a wonderful breakfast spread.
My room was on the 5th floor and no elevators, so at least I got a workout in. They did have a bell hop that lugged my bag up those 5 flights, though I did have to lug it down. Coming from a horrible stay in Cologne, I'd say the room was near 5 star - with the exception of the beds. Hard as a rock. The rooms were very spacious and the bathroom had a huge garden tub. I didn't get a chance to try the restaurant since they had some private party. They are about a 10-15 minute walk to the city center. It's about a 30 Euro and 20-25 minute cab ride to the airport.
I only stayed one evening, arriving at 7pm. The restaurant was wonderful.

I have a question for you but I would prefer to remain anonymous. I'm just gonna be straightforward and ask away. I am a longtime watcher of porn, I enjoy it very much and, for some reason, I'm able to get off to gay porn. I know that I'm not attracted to men in real life at all. So my question is: Is it normal for a straight man to do this?
— Anonymous
Dear Anonymous,
So, in a recent episode of "Family Guy" (pants down, the funniest show on TV), Peter Griffin summarizes his daughter's Christian abstinence program: "Premarital sex turns straight people gay and gays into Mexicans. Everybody goes down a notch."
My point, and I do have one, is that I don't think you're slipping down a notch in Peter's eyes. It would be easy to think you're so far into the closet that you're crowding out the skeletons, but I don't think that's the case.
You only have to see the very real phenomenon of lesbians who watch gay porn to see my point. They don't watch it for the men; they watch it for the power dynamics that they can bring in to their own beds.
For example, masculinity turns on many lesbians. They want to see it, emulate it and apply it, but they don't necessarily want to see straight men "exploiting" women.
They also use it as a master class on strap-on dildos. Lots of lesbians use them. They have to learn how and if straight porn is too exploitative and lesbian porn is too boring, then what's left? Gay porn.
Clearly, it's a minority of lesbians who do this, but it's well documented. Me? When it comes to porn, I only want to see what I want to fuck. Period, end of stroke.
But you? You're just like those lesbians. You're getting off to gay porn without being attracted to the men in it. Of course, you have different reasons — all subconscious.
Let's start with a strong need to dominate or feel dominated by good-looking men.
There's no way you can safely express that to other straight men. Well, you could — just like you could walk into Taco Mac and change the TV channels to "Glee" during March Madness. I'm just not sure you want to go there.
So how do you express that intense need to dominate or submit to male power? Watching gay porn, where you can see it in spades.
Another possibility is that you secretly want to have anal sex and there's no way for you to express that to a woman without feeling emasculated, so you unconsciously seek out expressions of it through gay porn.
Listen, you wouldn't be the first straight guy who wanted a woman to buckle up a strap-on and have at you. Straight men are wired exactly like gay men — we all have a prostate gland (the male G-spot) that rocks our world when it gets stimulated in the right way.
Last time I checked, there weren't any straight porn videos showing a woman fucking a man with a strap-on. Gay porn may be the only outlet to your fantasy.
Your situation reminds me of an immortal line by lesbian comic Lea DeLaria: "It's not true that lesbians don't like dick. We just don't like them on men." Like lesbians, it's possible that you love dick but only when it's on a woman.
God, I love saying that. Let me say it again: It's possible that you need a woman to fuck the daylights out of you. Your job isn't to judge yourself for watching gay porn. It's to find that woman.

Meet Sunny Isles: a tiny isle with a big personality
Just off mainland Miami lies Sunny Isle Florida. Situated on a tiny sliver of land across Biscayne Bay, Sunny Isles has but a single square mile to its name, but a variety of local and state parks and two miles of pristine beach make Sunny Isles feel open and inviting. All of the action happens east of Collins Avenue, which parallels the Atlantic Coast just a few hundred feet away.
Things to see and do
For upscale shopping, entertainment and other attractions, you'll need to head to Aventura or other nearby neighborhoods. Fortunately, they're only a few minutes away, and the beaches are so soft and inviting that you likely won't want to leave your resort too often anyway!
Parks, parks and more parks
Over 10 local parks help break up the residential neighborhoods located to the west of Collins Avenue, and a few favorites include Heritage Park and Samson Oceanfront Park. These landscaped green spaces provide a relaxing complement to the pearly white coastline, and you can always hold a picnic without getting sand in your sandwiches.
Public beaches
Without a doubt, Sunny Isles' beach is its single largest attraction. Two miles of uninterrupted sands are open to the public and they hold thousands of visitors on any given day. Nine lifeguard stations are spaced at equal points along the beach to provide immediate assistance, should it be needed.
Little Moscow
A burgeoning Russian population has helped earn Sunny Isles the nickname Little Moscow, and you'll find restaurants serving everything from Italian and Spanish to Cuban and Russian cuisine. You're guaranteed to find at least one new type of food to try out, but the area has its fair share of pizza, steak and burger joints as well.
Where to stay
Sunny Isles Beach is located right on the Atlantic. Ten hotels have beachfront access, so you'll never need to cross traffic. Prices start at around $100 per night, making this idyllic island an affordable option.
Collins Avenue
You can stay in any of the resorts lining Collins Avenue and feel like a king. From Trump International Beach Resort to Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort, you'll receive world-class service, cabanas and cocktails by the pool, plus water sports like jet skiing are available just past your doorstep. Grocery stores and pharmacies are only a short walk away.
Up until the turn of the century, Collins Avenue was home to a number of small motels, many of which were more than 50 years old. About a decade ago, those hotels were replaced with these luxury resorts, so guests are able to enjoy all the modern facilities they've come to expect, from full-service spas and beautiful landscaping to updated furnishings and USB chargers in every room.
Turnberry Isle
Looking to sneak a few rounds of golf into your trip? Head to the Turnberry Isle Resort & Club, which is located just a few minutes away in Aventura. Besides a new 1,600-foot lazy river, spa and fitness center, guests have access to everything needed to improve their game. Professional trainers are always available to provide one-on-one instruction, and you'll be able to purchase new equipment at Turnberry's very own pro golf shop. With specialized greens and GPS-equipped electric carts, golf enthusiasts may find themselves extending their trips by a few days.
Travel information
Unless you're coming from Naples to the west, you'll likely take I-95, which is located just two miles away from Sunny Isles. Fliers will arrive at either Miami International (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL), which are both 30- to 40-minute drives away. To get around the city, you can take advantage of the Miami-Dade Transit buses. Fortunately, all public buses are completely free for residents and visitors alike.
Best time to stay
Sunny Isles is a prime spring break destination, but thanks to the city's high-rise resorts, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a room during busy periods. South Florida's climate is mostly temperate from March to May, and from September to November. Visitors will have more space to stretch out on the beach during the off-season.

A Nightmare on Elm Street debuted in 1984 as a horror slasher film. It's dominated by Freddy Krueger, a serial killer ghost who haunts the dreams of local teenagers and manages to kill them in their sleep. His signature weapon is his glove with blades for the fingers which is featured prominently during his attacks. He is also known for his burned, disfigured face which is replicated in the different Freddy masks available.
He is seen always wearing the same articles of clothing: a red and green striped sweater as well as a tattered brown hat. With a Freddy Krueger costume you can achieve this nightmarish look and become the new reason why people hope they don't fall asleep!

The present invention relates generally to hand-held optical scanners for use in outlining, cut-and-paste editing, and the like data entry applications associated with personal computers. More particularly, the invention relates to a combination hand-held optical scanner with attached highlighter for selective and enhanced scanning capabilities.
Since the advent of computerized word processing, the ability to "cut and paste" selected portions of text hand-keyed in from a document has been a standard feature in nearly all computer word processing programs The applications programs permit the text entered from a document to be manipulated within the memory of the computer for rearrangement for a particular new output document Recently, hand held optical scanners have given traditional cut and paste methods added capability and increased convenience by allowing the user of such devices to select and scan lines of text or illustrations from printed hard copy material and store them in the memory of a computer.
A problem with hand scanners is that the user must pay close attention and have a steady hand and good eye in order to get good scanning results Otherwise, portions of the desired material to be scanned may be missed. This is especially true in the areas of the scanned material adjacent the outside edges of the scanning beam. It is therefore typical to require an additional guide device to provide proper tracking of the scanning instrument, as well as provide an instantaneous record of the area scanned so that repeated passes to recover missed material are obviated
The art has numerous teachings relating to writing and recording instruments. For example, it is known in the art to combine a light source with a writing instrument to facilitate the user of the writing implement. This first group of writing/lighting references includes U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,979,602 (Barnett, 1961) and 4,518,274 (Hanggi, 1985) which provide writing instruments with various illumination means. U.S. Pat. No. 3,879,859 (English, 1975) teaches combining a light source with a marking pen for use in combination with a specially adapted translucent screen as a method of visual instruction for young students. Other examples of a combination flashlight and writing instrument include U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,963,914 (Browning et al., 1976) and 4,047,017 (Herring, 1977).
It is also known in the art to provide a pen or like writing instrument with means to electronically record or input data for use in tele-autographic and graphic communication systems. This second group of writing/recording devices include U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,937,917, (Anthony, 1957), 3,035,118 (Scheuzger, 1962). U.S. Pat. No. 3,444,465 (Teixeira, 1969) teaches to use a standard metallic ballpoint pen as a probe for a graphic communication system. U.S. Pat. No. 4,034,155 (Muller et al., 1977) discloses an electrical sensing writing pen capable of sensing and amplifying a varying electrostatic field. U.S. Pat. No. 3,761,620 (Graven, 1973) teaches to use a light source that is housed within a pen (pen light) to activate a grid or matrix of light sensing semiconductors under a specially constructed writing medium for graphical data input of the pen strokes of the light pen on the writing surface to a computer display screen.
A common thread among the above mentioned second group of combinational writing/recording instruments is that they require a specialized writing surface and/or transmitting apparatus in order to cooperate with the graphic display and memory of the computer
It is also known in the prior art to provide a hand held optical scanning device for scanning printed text or graphic illustrations from a hard copy documents to the memory of a computer. These scanning devices, commonly referred to as hand scanners are generally classifiable as "Graphics" hand scanners or "Optical Character Readers" (hereinafter designated generally as "OCR") hand scanners. Both Graphics and OCR hand scanners rely on bit-mapped graphics and use a bright light (eg. a row of light emitting diodes (LEDs), usually red) located under the device to light up the san area.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,475,240 (Brogardh et al., 1984) discloses a Graphics-type scanning device for the simultaneous generation and detection of markings for data input into a computer. Examples of commercially available Graphics hand scanners include: The Complete Hand Scanner by The Complete PC; the Handy Scanner HS-2000 DFI Inc.; ScanMan by Logitech Inc.; the DataSweep 1 and DataSweep PencilWand by Soricon Corporation; and the PB-PS1000 Pocket Scanner by Packard Bell.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,553,035 (Malinsky et al , 1985) discloses a hand held scanner using an optical character recognition system which is used for converting makings on a surface to an electrical signal. Examples of commercially available OCR hand scanners include the Saba Handscan by Saba Technologies Inc., and the Transimage 1000 by Transimage Corp.
While scanners in general do not require a specialized writing surface in order to scan text and transfer the image to a screen display, hand held scanners in particular do have other drawbacks in addition to the serious drawback of not being able to show a record on the hard copy of what has been previously scanned.
A scanner translates a hard-copy image into a computer image by shinning a light source on the image to be scanned and then measures the light reflected from the picture. It then converts the highest reading (whites) to 0s and the lower reading (blacks) to 1s. More sophisticated scanners can approximate the levels of grey found in the picture by measuring the intensity of the black on the picture so that it can generate replicable dot patterns in the stored image.
Hand scanners have problems with their ability to distinguish between areas of varying or poor contrast. For example, halftones are problems for Graphics hand scanners, and are registered either as all white or an undesirable shade of grey.
Similarly, even small amounts of grey in the white background of printed black text causes character recognition difficulties for most OCR scanners. Low grade white paper, such as is commonly used for newspapers and magazines or recycled paper, only appears white to the human eye. Such "white" paper really contains a myriad of colors and printing on them is difficult for the scanners to distinguish. The scanner's misread incidence goes up dramatically to the point where the resulting "read" is gibberish.
Thus, there is a definite need in the art to provide a hand held scanner that has improved contrast and resolution capabilities There is also a need for providing a hand scanner with means for physically marking the hard copy scanned material so that the user has a record of what has been previously scanned.

The invention comprises the combination of an umbilical type scanner with an inking highlighter in an integral or piggy back unit, which upon use provides a visual record of what has been scanned as well as "scan field verification" which obviates the need to continuously call up the computer display to determine the scan accuracy. In addition, the use of a highlighter improves the contrast between the print and the background paper (or other substrate), particularly in the case of poor quality paper, such as newsprint or recycled paper. This results in a "cleaner" digital signal and higher degree of scan accuracy, i.e. a better recognition read by the graphics/text software.
Several embodiments of special holders are shown, a principal one being a side-by-side (tandem) pair of sleeves joined by a web, one sleeve being adapted to hold a conventional pen or wand-type scanner, and the other adapted to hold a conventional highlighter. In alternate embodiments a special "donut" holder comprising a cylinder with a felt highlighter tip is provided into the axial bore of which is inserted a conventional or specially designed scanner. In still another embodiment an angled highlighter may be clipped to a wand-type scanner.
Scanning may be done with the highlighter preceeding or trailing the scanner in the case of the tandem arrangement. In the case of the "donut" type scanner/highlighter, the highlighting precedes the scanning, and the unit is omni-directional or bi-directional.
The following detailed description illustrates the invention by way of example, not by way of limitation of the principles of the invention This description will clearly enable one skilled in the art to make and use the invention, and describes several embodiments, adaptations, variations, alternatives and uses of the invention, including what I presently believe is the best mode of carrying out the invention.
A combination hand-held scanner and fluid ink highlighter (hereinafter referred to simply as a "scanner/highlighter") constructed in accordance with the present invention is indicated generally by the reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1.
The scanner/highlighter 1 comprises a pen or wand type hand held scanner 10, a fluid filled ink highlighter 20, and double bracket assembly 30 for holding the highlighter 20 in a fixed spaced relationship with the scanner 10. A user's hand (shown in phantom) grasps the combination scanner/highlighter 1, for example, substantially as shown in FIG. 1.
By way of example, wand type scanners, such as the DataSweep� PencilWand manufactured by SORICON Corporation of Boulder, Colo., are ideally suited for use in the present invention. The length and thickness of these type of scanners permit the user to comfortably grasp and use the scanner. It is understood, however, that other types of hand held scanners having different shapes or housing configurations, may be used in combination with a highlighter and bracket assembly of the present invention with equally good results.
The highlighter 20 may be any conventional fluid filled ink marker such as the kind commonly sold in book stores and used by students for highlighting text in their books. For purposes of illustration only, the highlighter 20 is shown as being cylindrical in cross section. It is understood that other cross-sectional shapes for the highlighter may include, but need not be limited to, squares, rectangles, squares or rectangles with rounded corners, etc.
The bracket assembly 30 further comprises a bridge member or web 33 connecting two holder sleeves, designated generally as the scanner holder sleeve 31 and the highlighter holder sleeve 32, for receiving and retaining the scanner 10 and highlighter 20, respectively. In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2a-2c, the bridge member 33 is basically shaped like an inverted triangle viewed from a front elevation view when the scanner/highlighter is in actual use. This triangular shape permits a conventional straight highlighter to be properly angled so that the tip 21 of the highlighter 20 may be positioned closely adjacent the scanner tip 11.
The desired materials for construction of the bridge member 30 include but are not limited to injection molded plastics, or easily machinable materials such as delrin or stock aluminum. It is only required that the material have some spring-like elasticity so that the holders 31 and 32, both having an opening or inner diameter marginally smaller the corresponding outer diameter of the intended article to be held so that a tight or "snap fit" is created. (That is, the outer diameter of the scanner 10 is to be marginally greater than the inner diameter of the scanner holder 31, and similarly for the outer diameter of the highlighter 20 and the corresponding inner diameter of the highlighter holder 32).
While both the scanner holder 31 and highlighter holder 32, as shown, only enclose a partial length of the scanner 10 and highlighter 20, respectively, it is understood that a full length, or, for that matter, any length enclosure may be feasible to fixedly retain the highlighter in a desired spaced relationship to the scanner. Similarly, although the bridge member 33, as shown, pans the entire vertical height of both holders 31 and 32, it may be shorter, include apertures therethrough to save weight, or add aesthetic appeal. Indeed, it is desireable to have a relieved area in the lower portion of the bridge member 33 adjacent the tip end of the combination scanner/highlighter to accommodate the thumb of the user during use; i.e., the user's hand essentially grasps the scanner unit, not the combined scanner highlighter. Alternately, the holder sleeves and web may be positioned higher (further up from the tips) of the scanner and/or highlighter to better accommodate the user's hand to grasp only the wand-type scanner. In all cases, the bracket assembly 30 is ergonomically dimensioned to cooperate with the user's hand and yet does not interfere with or disrupt the function of the electrical connector 12.
FIGS. 2a, b and c show a series of plan and elevation views of the combination scanner/highlighter 1. As is best seen in FIG. 2a, an edge portion 36 of the scanner holder 31 has been rounded off. This reduces chafing to the medial area between the user's thumb and index finger and is designed to enhance the ergonomic fit of the invention within the user's hand.
As best seen in FIGS. 2a and 2b, the bridge member 33 may comprise two parts, including generally T-shaped male portion 33a and correspondingly T-shaped mating female portion 33b, and a locking pin or spring-biased detent 37 for securing the male portion 33a within the female portion 33b. As shown, the male portion 33a and female portion 33b fit together in a snug "tongue in groove" fashion. Note, the bridge member 33 and bracket assembly 30 may also be a single integral piece as shown in FIG. 1.
If a degree of angular adjustment of the bridge member 33 is desired, the flange portions 33a and b (see FIG. 2b) may be modified or even completely removed, with a pivot replacing pin 37 so that the tip 21 of the highlighter 20 may swing (rotate) closer to or further away from the scanner tip 11. A wing nut, or like binding means may be incorporated into pin 37 to permit adjustment to the angular movement between the male portion 33a and female portion 33b of the bridge member 33.
Referring now to FIG. 2b, a longitudinal slot 34 is provided in a side wall of the scanner holder 31. As noted above, the inner diameter of the scanner holder 31 is dimensioned slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the scanner 10 a sufficient amount to form a "tight fit." The slot 34 permits a degree of expansion of the walls of the scanner holder 31 in order to accommodate the insertion of the scanner 10. A similar slot 35 is formed into a side wall of the highlighter holder 32 (see FIG. 2c) to accommodate insertion of highlighter 20.
The fit between the highlighter 20 and the highlighter holder 32 is sufficiently tight to prevent the highlighter 20 from "riding up" into the highlighter holder 32 when pressure is applied to the tip 21 of the highlighter during use. However, the fit is not so tight to prevent the downward adjustment of the highlighter 20 within the highlighter holder 32 as may be necessary from time to time to compensate for wear of the highlighter tip 21.
During use, the scanning tip 11 and highlighter tip 21 are brought into contact with the printed matter to be scanned. In one method of use the user sweeps the combination scanner/highlighter across the page in one direction with the highlighter tip 21 trailing the scanning tip 11. The highlighter leaves a visual and permanent record of what the user has scanned.
The highlighter tip 21 is specially dimensioned to coincide with the field dimension of the scanning "window" of the scanner tip so that by merely seeing the highlighted portions of the printed matter, the user is assured that he has scanned the desired area. In other words, the borders of the highlighter marking tell whether the proper areas are being recorded by the scanning window. This feature, hereinafter denoted as "scan field verification" eliminates the need to continuously call up the scanned graphics or text file in the computer memory to check for accuracy.
The visual record produced by the highlighter tip 21 also facilitates the user by showing whether the user is scanning evenly. The highlighter functions as a ruler or guide for the scanner, since the user can monitor whether he/she is scanning in a straight and even path by reference to the marking of the highlighted area.
In a second method the combination scanner/highlighter may also be used by scanning in the opposite direction so that the scanning tip 11 trails the highlighter tip 21. When used in this fashion, the resolution and contrast capabilities of the scanner are enhanced as the scanner is now scanning highlighted material as opposed to non-highlighted material. This is particularly useful when the contrast between the background paper and foreground print is poor.
An example of a printed document with inherent poor contrast would be a newspaper or magazine. The background paper, being of poor quality, only appears white to the human eye. To the scanner, the background paper appears grey (or off-white) because it picks up other colors and impurities associated with the cheaper newsprint.
Scanners work on the principle of recording changes in the reflected and refracted light emitted from the scanner onto the paper. A scanner will not pick up a color that is the same as the color of the light emitted from the scanner because that color will be absorbed and not reflected or refracted. Most scanners use green or red LEDs as a light source, and therefore are unable to record green and red print, respectively. Halftones and varying shades of gray are also a problem for most scanners because they reflect light and this is perceived as a "weak" black color to the scanner.
By highlighting an area of printed text before it is scanned, the color density is altered. It has been found that a yellow highlight improves contrast for the scanner and therefore a cleaner, crisper image is produced and the digital signal is enhanced, being cleaner (more nearly free of background noise signals). The yellow highlight decreases the greyness and improves contrast in an off-white background because it absorbs light and registers as being white to the scanner.
Referring now to FIGS. 3-6, two alternate embodiments for the combination scanner/highlighter are shown. In FIGS. 3 and 4, a donut-type or annular scanner/highlighter combination is disclosed whereby a highlighter housing 40 is provided for enclosing the bottom end (or scanning tip end) of the scanner 20. Ink-filled highlight material 41 is fitted within the housing 40 and surrounds the scanner tip 11. This scanner/highlighter is bi-directional; that is, the user an scan either direction but in this embodiment the scanner only scans previously highlighted material.
In use, the scanner leaves a rectangular foot print slightly larger than the scanner window 13. This is best seen in FIG. 4. Since the annulus defined by the ink-filled highlight material 41 is marginally larger than the window 13 of the scanner tip 11, all material is assured to be highlighted before it is scanned. Thus, a cleaner imaged is achieved by creating a uniform and predictable contrast between the background paper and the foreground print.
FIGS. 5 and 6 show a second alternate embodiment for the combination scanner/highlighter of the present invention. In this embodiment, the highlighter 45 rides "piggyback" on the scanner 20.
The highlighter 45 is provided with an angled tip portion 45a at its bottom or "highlighter" end so that the highlighter tip 49 is spaced adjacent the scanner tip 11.
A one-piece holder 46 is provided to retain the highlighter 45 in a fixed spaced relationship to the scanner 20. As is best seen in FIG. 6, longitudinal slots 46 and 47 are provided in the side walls of the holder 46 to permit easy insertion of and spring-like grip to the highlighter 45 and scanner 20. The holder 46, being thin-walled and compact, is hardly noticeable to the user. As in the bracket assembly of FIGS. 1 and 2, the outer surface of the holder 46 may be contoured to ergonomically fit the user's hand.
It should be understood that various modifications within the scope of this invention can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit thereof. For example the short end(s) 41a and/or 41b may be eliminated from the donut highlighter of FIG. 4 so that the highlighter does not extend beyond the height of the scanner tip, if desired. I therefore wish my invention to be defined by the scope of the appended claims as broadly as the prior art will permit, and in view of the specification if need be.
