Benedict XVI's 1st Homily From Cathedral of Rome
Pope Is a "Leader in the Profession of Faith in Christ"
VATICAN CITY, MAY 11, 2005 (Zenit) - Here is a translation of the first part of the homily Benedict XVI delivered Saturday when taking possession of the cathedral of the Bishop of Rome, the Basilica of St. John Lateran.
This day, in which for the first time I may sit in the chair of the Bishop of Rome, as Successor of Peter, is the day in which the Church in Italy celebrates the feast of the Lord's Ascension. At the center of this day, is Christ. And only thanks to him, thanks to the mystery of his Ascension, are we able to understand the meaning of the chair, which in turn is the symbol of the authority and responsibility of the bishop. What, then, does the feast of the Lord's Ascension tell us? It does not say that the Lord has gone to a place far away from men and the world. The Ascension of Christ is not a journey into space to the most remote heavenly bodies, because in the end, heavenly bodies, like the earth, are also made up of physical elements.
The Ascension of Christ means that he no longer belongs to the world of corruption and death, which conditions our life. It means that he belongs completely to God. He, the eternal Son, has taken our human being to the presence of God; he has taken with him flesh and blood in a transfigured form. Man finds a place in God through Christ; the human being has been taken into the very life of God. And, given that God embraces and sustains the whole cosmos, the Lord's Ascension means that Christ has not gone far away from us, but that now, thanks to the fact he is with the Father, he is close to each one of us forever. Each one of us may address him familiarly; each one may turn to him. The Lord always hears our voice. We may distance ourselves inwardly from him. We can live with our backs turned to him, but he always awaits us, and is always close to us.
From the readings of today's liturgy we also learn something more about the concrete way in which the Lord is with us. The Lord promises his disciples his Holy Spirit. The first reading tells us that the Holy Spirit will be "strength" for the disciples; the Gospel adds that he will guide us toward the fullness of truth. Jesus told his disciples everything, as he is the living word of God, and God can give no more than himself. In Jesus, God gave himself totally to us, that is, he gave us everything. In addition to this, or together with this, there can be no other revelation able to communicate something else, or to complete, in a certain sense, the revelation of Christ. In him, in the Son, we were told everything, we were given everything. But our ability to understand is limited; for this reason the mission of the Spirit consists in introducing the Church in an ever new way, from generation to generation, into the grandeur of the mystery of Christ.
The Church does not present anything different or new next to Christ; there is no pneumatic revelation next to that of Christ, as some believe, there is no second level of revelation. No: "He will take what is mine," says Christ in the Gospel (John 16:14). And, just like Christ, he only says what he hears and receives from the Father; the Holy Spirit is Christ's interpreter. "He will take what is mine." He does not lead us to other places, away from Christ, but makes us penetrate ever more within the light of Christ. For this reason, Christian revelation is, at the same time, always old and always new. For this reason, everything has always and already been given to us. At the same time, in the inexhaustible encounter with the Lord, encounter mediated by the Holy Spirit, every generation always learns something new.
Thus, the Holy Spirit is the force through which Christ makes us experience his closeness. But the first reading also leaves a second message: you will be my witnesses. The risen Christ is in need of witnesses who have encountered him, who have known him intimately through the force of the Holy Spirit, men who, having touched Him with their hand, so to speak, can attest to him. It was in this way that the Church, family of Christ, grew from "Jerusalem ... to the ends of the earth," as the reading says. The Church was built by witnesses, beginning with Peter and Paul, the twelve, all men and women who, full of Christ, in the course of the centuries have rekindled and will kindle again in an ever new way the flame of faith. Every Christian, in his way, can and must be a witness of the risen Lord. When we read the names of the saints, we can see how many times they have been, above all -- and continue to be -- simple men, men from whom arose -- and arises -- a shining light capable of leading to Christ.
But this symphony of witnesses is gifted with a clearly defined structure: to the successors of the apostles, namely, the bishops, corresponds the public responsibility to make ...

I'll start.
Soviet jokes:
Both the constitutions of the United States and the Soviet Union guarantee freedom of speech, but only the United States guarantees freedom after speech.
Freedom of speech is the same in America as it is in Soviet Russia. In America, you could stand in front of the white house and yell "I hate Reagan!" as much as you want and you won't be arrested, just as in Soviet Russia you could stand in front of the Kremlin and yell "I hate Reagan!" and you won't get arrested.
Latvian jokes:
Man is hungry. He steal bread to feed family. Get home, find all family have gone Siberia! "More bread for me," man think. But bread have worm.

From afar they looked like eye-spotted peacocks' tails overlooking the fish port. But on closer inspection, they are actually lamp posts. While I did not have time to shoot them at night (which I guess would be gorgeous display of lights fit for a romantic walk in the park), the daytime shoot was enough to establish how attractive they are. Well, perhaps when I get back to Puerto Princesa in the future, I will target a nocturnal shoot. That will surely be fun.
This photo was shot on film. Taken by lakandula with a Lomography Diana Mini (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Kodak Ektachrome 100 GX film in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines.

The Patrick-Murray Administration Highlights The $14.7 Billion Defense Technology & Homeland Security Industry During May
The defense technology and homeland security industry comprises roughly 2,435 Massachusetts companies that have secured contracted work from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Of the $9.8 billion in total contracts awarded to Massachusetts companies, approximately 83% by value represents the work that remains in-state. The combined total of $14.7 billion reflects the economic impact of both direct and indirect effects of the these contract dollars. The industry sector also includes military installations, such as Hanscom Air Force Base and the U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center in Natick. Other entities that receive unique federal funding, such as Lincoln Laboratory, Draper Laboratory, and MITRE, are also part of the industry's presence in Massachusetts.
"We are proud to be home to some of the nation's large and small leading companies conducting business in the defense technology and homeland security industry," said Daniel O'Connell, Governor Patrick's chief housing and economic advisor. "Not only do these companies develop goods and services that keep America safe, they help strengthen the Massachusetts economy by employing large numbers of people and purchasing products from local companies -- creating a significant multiplier effect." It is estimated that the combined industries employ over 71,000 people statewide.
A 2007 commissioned report conducted by the UMass Donahue Institute ranked Massachusetts as the eighth highest among states that received DoD and DHS defense contracts. The dollar value of prime contracts increased by 91.6% between 2000 and 2005, a figure that far exceeded the 18.5% growth in Massachusetts' gross domestic product (GDP) during the same period. In 2005, nearly 36,000 military service members, staff and retirees lived in Massachusetts. Total payroll and retirement benefits for the groups were more than $1 billion and generated another 7,200 jobs.
During the month of May, the Patrick-Murray administration will work with local partners to conduct three regional summits to hear directly from business leaders about ways the state can continue to create the conditions for growth in this industry. Administration and key legislative leaders will also be invited to tour companies that produce some of the nation's leading technologies in this industry. A tour of one of the state's military installations is also being planned for the month. All activities serve to strengthen relationships with this important industry sector.
"We applaud the Patrick-Murray administration for its efforts to grow the Commonwealth's defense technology and homeland security industry," said Brigadier General Donald Quenneville (USAF, retired), Executive Director of the Defense Technology Initiative (DTI), the industry group that represents defense and homeland security employers throughout New England. "Massachusetts has the research capacity, expert industrial base and skilled workforce to maintain its leadership position as a global defense technology cluster, and interest and investment by the state will help ensure future success. In particular, DTI is working with the Patrick-Murray administration and the Congressional delegation to bring the Air Force Cyber Command - and its related economic activity - to Massachusetts."
Throughout the month updated activities for the defense and homeland security industry sectors will be posted on the state's website at: .
The Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development is one of eight Secretariats that make up the Governors Cabinet. Under the leadership of Secretary Dan O'Connell, the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development oversees the following undersecretariates: the Departments of Business Development, Housing and Community Development, and Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation.

Egypt, a partner with Israel in the crippling Gaza siege, bows to international pressure.
RAFAH, Egypt — Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, a target of public outrage following the deadly weekend raid by Israeli commandos on a Turkish-led aid flotilla, kept the Rafah border crossing with Gaza open Thursday to people and supplies.
Since the May 31 raid, international pressure has mounted on Israel and Egypt to ease the three-year blockade on the Gaza Strip, prompting Cairo's move Tuesday to open the border to Palestinians seeking medical treatment.
High-ranking security officials inside the Rafah border terminal said that more than 500 Palestinians had been allowed to enter Egypt on Wednesday.
The land and sea blockade on Gaza was imposed by Israel in 2007, after the violent takeover of the strip from the Palestinian Authority by Hamas, an Islamic resistance group that had once vowed to "wipe Israel off the map."
For its part, Egypt has also largely kept the Rafah border crossing sealed, except for the most serious humanitarian cases.
Egypt is one of the largest recipients of American foreign aid, totaling close to $2 billion annually, in part because of its 1979 peace treaty with Israel.
Historically, Egypt has also struggled against Islamic militancy and has seen Hamas, a movement that grew out of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, as something to fear.
But international outrage over the deadly raid on the aid flotilla, which killed nine people including an American citizen of Turkish origin, is testing the Egypt-Israel partnership.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had rejected international criticism over his country's continued blockade on Gaza, reportedly saying that without it, Iran would establish a ''port'' in Gaza for weapons shipments.
Meanwhile, protests continued in Turkey on Thursday. All nine of those killed in the May 31 raids were Turkish, one a dual U.S. citizen, traveling aboard the cruise liner Mavi Marmara. Turkey withdrew its ambassador from Tel Aviv immediately after the raid.
The Israeli Defense Forces defended their actions, and a video allegedly showing those aboard the ship attacking Israeli commandos and throwing one overboard has been released on YouTube.
Earlier this week, downtown Cairo was also rocked by several protests against the blockade of Gaza. The demonstrations saw more than 1,000 Egyptians hurling insults at Mubarak and his government.
Egypt's Foreign Ministry called the flotilla killings "tragic," criticizing the "unjust Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip." But even as the Foreign Ministry's press statement was released, Egyptian opposition groups had rallied outside the building, denouncing Egypt's complicity in the blockade while screaming "Down with Mubarak."
"Until this week, the Egyptian government had been trying to downplay their role in the blockade, especially in the Arab world," said Diaa Rashwan, an expert at the Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, a government-funded think tank. "But after the Israeli flotilla affair, now I think there is a real change in the Egyptian strategy."

Each February, Baylor continues its tradition of honoring the service of faculty and staff with the annual service awards ceremony.
The awards represent the recipient's years of loyal service and contributions to the life of the University. Awards are presented in 5-year increments, beginning with year 5. (The awards are for service through the preceding year.)
In February 2014, four people received their 40-year recognition: Jane Abbott-Kirk, Jerry Gordon, Franklin Potts, and Daniel Scott. One person received 45-year recognition: Shirley Bradshaw. One person received 50-year recognition: Clyde Hart and one person received 55-year recognition: Roger Kirk.
Baylor University First Lady Alice Starr, with assistance from Vice President for Human Resources John Whelan, recognized recipients during the ceremony.
The annual ceremony was established in April 1972. Prior to that time, the University had held service awards ceremonies on an irregular basis. A 1957 program was the first to honor a 50-year-pin recipient, Mrs. Lily M. Russell. Since then, Baylor has recognized four other 50-year-pin recipients: Dr. Rufus Spain, Dr. Roger Kirk, Dr. Bob Patterson and Coach Clyde Hart. In 2013, Baylor recognized our first 55-year recipient, Dr. Rufus Spain. Dr. Roger Kirk was recognized for 55 years of service in 2014.

Dear Prez, Mitt, Robert, Tom, Dick, Harry, Mike, Kathy, Kathi, Katie, Sadie, and Shady,
Today, at last, is Election Day. Four (for some of you) or two (for most) or six (for a few) long years of fundraising, hand-shaking, fundraising, speechifying, flip-flopping, backtracking, fundraising, lying, splitting hairs, fuzzying issues, fundraising, and if-it's-Tuesday-at-two-it-must-be-Ohio-again trips are finally coming to an end.
Some of you will be in, and some of you will be out. (Thanks, Heidi.)
And we, finally, will be able to get along with our lives without being interrupted by robocalls, bombarded by campaign commercials, or dunned by fundraisers. At least for a week.
Before you go off and celebrate your victory or drown your defeat, here are two important messages for the winners and one for the losers.
First to the guys and gals euphoric over their popular thumbs-up:
In the midst of your celebrations, please bear in mind a vital fact. Your triumph is not a mandate. Whether you won by less than 1 percent or more than 20 percent, you didn't win because people want you to implement all the bullcrap that you spewed about what you would implement. First, nobody—probably not even your mother—believed you would—or could—do that anyway. Second, nobody—probably not even you—agrees with every bit of it anyway.
Know why you won?
(Spoiler alert: This is not your Sally Field moment.)
You won because a significant number of people were more frustrated with, or leery of, the other clown than they were of you.
That wariness might be the result of all the nasty things you said about him or her. It might be because of the stupid things he or she did or said (right, Todd?). But something happened to convince enough people in the middle that you weren't quite the threat that the other guy or gal represents.
You see, a bunch of True Believers think your ideas are spot on, your leadership impeccable, your style reassuring. But there's a whole bunch of other True Believers who you scare the bejeezus out of.
The only reason that you won is because the people in the middle—bothered by the one-sidedness and mean-spiritedness of both extremes as well as worried about the very real and complex (note that, dudes and dudettes: complex, as in "not lending themselves to simple solutions") problems—either felt that you had only screwed up half badly in the last two, four, or six years or that they are tired of the particular way that the incumbent did screw up and are willing to roll the dice on you.
In other words, your margin of victory is those people who were more able to hold their nose and vote for you than they were capable of stomaching the act of casting their fate with the other one.
You are but the lesser of two evils.
For instance, the cipher that is my commonwealth's senior senator, Bob Casey, is getting a vote not because of anything he's done—he apparently learned only the first two-thirds of the Hippocratic Oath ("do no")—and not because of what he believes but because his opponent thinks that the solution to all this country's multitude of problems is a balanced budget amendment (presto! all fixed now!) and because if, as likely, the GOP retains the House and if, as possible, it wins the White House, it will be best if the Jackass Party holds the Senate to act as the saucer to cool the Tea Party's brew.
So don't get all triumph-y about it, Bob.
Or any of the rest of you, either.
Now, what does this mean for how you should act?
If you don't have a mandate, you can't go rolling over the other side.
There is some sense in what both parties say. Find the common ground. Find a way to craft a compromise. (Without the lobbyists' help.) Find some complex but workable solutions to those complex problems.
Behave like adults and not children and work together for God's sake! For our sake.
For your sake.
Because here's the second message: You ain't a Supreme Court justice, baby. You ain't being elected king or queen. You ain't there for life.*
That office you're going to fill is being vacated by someone else. Bear that in mind. Every day you hold it. Sic transit gloria franking privilege.
That doesn't mean you should spend every day, starting tomorrow, fundraising for your re-election. It does mean that you should remember that holding public office means doing public service.
So serve us. All of us.
Because if you don't, you'll be the one people will be more frustrated with next time, and you'll be finding yourself having to hustle for a real job.
And here's my word for you losers: News flash. You lost. Deal with it. Accept the verdict of the people. Don't. Litigate. It. We really don't need that. Because if you do, whoever wins, we all lost. Believe me.
Didn't you learn to be a good sport in kindergarten? Show some grace. Show some class. Congratulate your opponent. And shut up.
Besides, look at the bright side. Whatever office you didn't get is a lousy job. Only a crazy person would want it. You can get nice cushy work as a pundit, or an academic. Won't have to work much. You can even become a lobbyist. (You know you will.)
So, there you go, folks. Work together, serve us, play nice. Not too hard, is it?
Oh, one more thing—for both of you. Didn't your mother teach you to pick up? Get rid of those damn signs.
* Corollary to the no-mandate rule, for those of you who believe that you have a right to legislate your beliefs: you ain't the pope; you're not empowered to impose your conscience on the rest of us.

I have owned the logic fry pan for 4 years and have 4 other Woll products. I experienced what many others have - great for 6-12 months then started to stick. I called the store and he asked me to scrape my nail across the surface - a residue had built up and this causes the sticking. He told me to get dishwasher powder and a scourer and scrub it and scrub it until clean. I do this about every 3 months and the pan is still good. The surface doesn't look as even as it did but the salesman assures me this is expected but won't affect the non-stick. He seems to be right so far

We are watching our parents age. Haven't they always been the same age? So why are they deteriorating before our eyes now? Why do phone calls include doctor results and stories from forever ago? Of regret? Of routine?

OPINION: In politics timing can be everything.
And for the Social Development Ministry, it is hard to think of a worse day for revelations to emerge about its security blunder.
Bad enough that it failed to pick up the warning signs, when beneficiary groups last year alerted it to security holes in its public kiosks.
It was also given a warning last week - it says it was "vague" - and failed to pick up a problem.
But it has also committed the cardinal sin of embarrassing - make that infuriating - its minister when she was soaring on a political high.
Paula Bennett said she was "mortified".
In truth she seemed somewhere between tears and anger during the joint press conference with chief executive Brendan Boyle yesterday.
She has in the past weathered her own share of criticism, including from the Human Rights Commission, for misusing private beneficiary information.
But in the past week, after the release of the White Paper on Vulnerable Children, Mrs Bennett has been lauded by most media commentators and in turn has "guaranteed" there would be no lapse in the security of information available in a new cross-agency database.
That assurance now looks hollow and the audit of her ministry - and its extension to all Government agencies - has a lot of damage to correct; especially given Families Commission and Canterbury earthquake authority data was potentially compromised too.
As a systemic failure it is far more serious than the unintentional leak of ACC data to Bronwyn Pullar - even if the blame ultimately falls on the unfortunately named "penetration" experts who tested its systems.
And when it comes to information, it doesn't get much more private or sensitive than details of medicines, suicide risks, safe houses, adoption candidates and problem children.
In the ministry's defence it did respond swiftly on Sunday when it was alerted to the open safe.
It shut down the public kiosks, instigated remedial measures and shouldered the blame without ducking for cover.
But if a head - or a contract - doesn't roll after this, then accountability means nothing.

The telecommunications Industry is identified as a major driver of global economic recovery. An unprecedented growth of high-speed mobile Internet traffic, particularly for wireless data and video, has transformed the industry into the most evolving, inventive and keenly contested industry.
In addition, the emergence of mobile broadband technology has created several new service areas, which potentially offers huge growth potential. This includes IPTV, collaboration and cloud computing, videoconferencing and mobile payment, to name a few. Research firm Ovum recently reported that global revenue of telecom service providers exceeded $1.91 trillion in 2011, an improvement of 6.7% year over year. The momentum is expected to remain high in 2012.
Recent Performance
The U.S. telecommunications industry is witnessing consistent growth despite experiencing a slow moving U.S. economy. This is evident from the stock price movement of the large nationwide carriers. Year to date, the stock price of Verizon Communications ( VZ ) was up 9.64%, the stock price of AT&T ( T ) up 17.04%, and that of Sprint Nextel ( S ) was up 27.35%. However, during the same time period, the benchmark S&P 500 index was marginally up by 3.81%.
Most of the large national telecom service providers together with the regional prepaid telecom operators generated net subscriber addition in the first quarter of 2012. Verizon Wireless, a joint venture between Verizon Communications Inc. and Vodafone Group plc. ( VOD ), added 501,000 post-paid subscribers out of total net addition of 734,000. AT&T Inc. added a net 187,000 post-paid subscribers out of total net addition of 726,000. Sprint Nextel Corp. gained a net 263,000 postpaid subscribers out of total net addition of 1.1 million. MetroPCS Communications Inc . ( PCS ) and Leap Wireless International Inc. ( LEAP ) added net 131,654 and 258,000 wireless subscribers, respectively, in the previous quarter.
The telecommunications industry encompasses a lot of technology-related businesses. The legacy local and long-distance wireline phone services, telecommunications industry also includes wireless communications, Internet services, fiber optics networks, cable TV networks and commercial satellite communications.
A major characteristic of the telecommunications industry is the huge barriers to entry due to scarcity of public airwaves (spectrum). The U.S. telecom market is controlled by just four national players, as regional low-cost operators are not eligible to compete with these large carriers. Furthermore, it is not easy to establish a new telecom carrier since it will require government permission to transmit voice, data and video on public airwaves. Spectrum licenses are limited and therefore quite expensive. Moreover, deployment of network infrastructure, whether high-speed wireless (3G/4G) or wireline (fiber optic), requires significant capital expenditure, which very few entities can afford.
Key Attribute
We believe that the overall economic dynamics may shift in favor of telecommunications industry, primarily due to its key attribute of being a major infrastructure product for both the emerging and developed nations. Telecommunications is one of the very few industries, which witnessed massive technological improvement even under recession. The major thrust of the telecommunications sector is backed by continuous network and product upgrade and invention by the industry players.
For the last 15 years, the U.S. wireless sector invested no less than $300 billion to install seamless communications networks throughout the world. The telecommunications industry as a whole generates over 2.4 million jobs in the U.S., which is expected to grow by another 200,000 in 2012 due to increasing adoption of next-generation super-fast 4G LTE networks. Growing demand for technically superior products has been the silver lining for the telecommunication industry in an otherwise tough environment. These developments are also helping telecom equipment manufacturers, infrastructure solutions providers and mobile phone makers to consolidate their finances.
Wireless is the Key
Despite the massive growth in fiber-to-the-home networks, we believe wireless networks will be the key player in the telecom industry growth story. The sector is witnessing a fundamental change. Earlier, it was voice calls that brought money to the operators. Currently, data and video have become the focus. Any new network standard aims at faster data connectivity, quick video streaming with high resolution and rich multimedia applications. Growing demand for wireless products has been the silver lining for the telecommunication industry in an otherwise tough environment.
Spectrum Crunch & Market Saturation
The U.S. wireless industry is facing acute spectrum shortages, sometime resulting in data packet dropping. Carriers are investing heavily for more effective utilization of their existing spectrum holding and are trying hard to add more spectrums to their portfolio. In addition to the four nationwide carriers, all the smaller pre-paid wireless operators are also opting for a sound LTE network to offer hassle free broadband video streaming and data transmission.
Meanwhile, smartphone penetration has crossed more or less half of the total U.S. post-paid wireless subscribers. Recently, pre-paid carriers have decided to offer high-end smartphones, such as iPhone 4S in the near future.
Spectrum crunch coupled with gradual smartphone market saturation are forcing the wireless operators to look for other options to raise revenue. These include new pricing plan, a shift from unlimited data usage to tier-based data usage, and higher upgrade fees for smartphones in order to offset handset subsidies. Nevertheless, the average revenue per user for most of the wireless carriers are rising over the last two years and are expected to grow in the long term, primarily due to a massive growth of mobile data usage.
As smartphone users are now increasingly downloading multimedia contents, video has become the primary network traffic. What is more interesting, in addition to download, the smartphone and tablet users are uplinking more and more video content, and in turn, becoming broadcasters on their own. Several industry researchers predicted that video may account for 60% of total network traffic by the end of 2012.
Near-term Catalysts
The U.S. telecommunications industry is likely to be benefited in the near future from two ways: (1) recent approval of the U.S. Congress to initiate a fresh round of spectrum auction for the wireless industry (2) significant technological inventions and innovations that make even a mature market like the U.S. highly lucrative for the telecom operators.
In February 2012, the U.S. Congress has decided to free up spectrum currently used by TV broadcasters for commercial wireless networks and to deploy a nationwide interoperable public-safety broadband network. Huge proliferation of smartphones, tablets, and several other pocket-sized mobile devices significantly raised the demand for bandwidth for seamless wireless connectivity. The spectrum auction is expected to generate $25 -$30 billion from the U.S. government.
Furthermore, as the global economy recovers slowly, demand for real-time voice, data and video increases by leaps and bounds. The FCC has estimated that within the next 5 years, mobile-data demand will grow 25-50 folds from its current level. These latest developments are enabling the telecom service providers to undertake large network extension while upgrading plans. The decision of Congress is mainly aimed to solve growing consumer demand for efficient wireless networks.
Merger and Acquisition to Continue
Despite the failed merger agreement between AT&T and T-Mobile USA, we believe the U.S. telecom industry will witness more M&A in 2012. AT&T needs spectrum to compete with its bigger rival Verizon Wireless. Verizon has entered into a spectrum buying deal with major cable MSOs including Comcast Corp. ( CMCSA ), Time Warner Cable Inc. ( TWC ) and Bright House Networks. The deal is currently under FCC scrutiny.
Similarly, small prepaid operators like MetroPCS and Leap Wireless may also join hands or merge with a nationwide carrier in order to attain economies of scale and pricing power. DISH Network Corp. ( DISH ), which holds a large wireless spectrum, has already declared that it is not averse to a deal as an acquirer or an acquired entity.
Competition Looms Large
Massive technology invention and innovation have resulted in significant competitive atmosphere within the telecommunications industry. Product life-cycle and upgrade-cycle have been reduced drastically since several firms are coming out with new types of products and services within a short span of time. Increasing competition is actually forcing each and every player to offer heterogeneous and bundled services.
We may see more product sharing deals between telecom, cable TV, and satellite TV operators as each of these players are trying to get a foothold into other's territory. Even, pay-TV services, offerings to business enterprises, and mobile backhaul and metro-Ethernet segments may witness more convergence. Mobile phone makers are now gradually offering tablets (small laptops); chipset manufacturers are offering personal computers and mobile phones are frequently interchanging their areas of operations.
The telecommunications industry as a whole offers a number of attributes that are difficult to ignore from the standpoint of investors.
The companies that match well with the aforementioned considerations include AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc. and Sprint Nextel Corp.
Generally telecommunications companies that were under pressure have high debt levels and large financial leverage ratios or are unable to cope with the recent market trends. Other risks that remain are as follows:
The companies that match well with the aforementioned considerations include SK Telecom Co. Ltd. ( skm ), Telefonica Brasil S.A. ( VIV ) and NII Holdings Inc. ( NIHD ).

Aug 29, 2013 11:28 AM by MTN News - Billings
BILLINGS - District Court Judge G. Todd Baugh issued an apology on Wednesday for statements he made about a rape victim during a sentencing hearing on Monday.
"I made some really stupid remarks," Baugh told a group of reporters. "It didn't come out right and I owe the whole county, but maybe even the whole country, especially women, an apology."
On Monday, Baugh presided over the sentencing of former Billings High School teacher Stacey Rambold; Rambold admitted in October 2007 to raping 14-year old Cherice Moralez, who later committed suicide.
Baugh sentenced Rambold to 31 days in jail.
During the sentencing, Baugh said Moralez was "older than her chronological age" and that she had some control of situation with the teacher.
Baugh came under fire for those statements and faces a firestorm of criticism from people in Billings and around the country.
Baugh said on Wednesday, "I'm not sure just what I was attempting to say at that point, but it didn't come out correct. What I said was demeaning to all women, not what I believe in, and irrelevant to the sentencing. I owe all our fellow citizens an apology."
Baugh also said that he is comfortable with the sentence and was going to put an addendum into the court record to try and explain the sentence.
(Tuesday, August 27, 2013) Community members are calling for a protest - and for District Court Judge Todd Baugh to resign - after former Senior High School teacher Stacey Rambold was sentenced to 30 days in jail for raping a 14-year old student who later committed suicide.
Judge Baugh sentenced Rambold on Monday to 15 years in prison, with all but 31 days suspended.
Rambold, 54, will also be given credit for one day already served; he was also sentenced to 15 years probation.
Auliea Hanlon, the mother of the teen, is shattered; she said, "Yesterday, I got up, I went to court...I was floored. I thought there was a minimum sentence. I don't know...my faith in the justice system is gone."
Hanlon pleaded with the court to give Rambold the maximum sentence, claiming that Rambold's conduct played a major role in her daughter's suicide.
A silent protest is now scheduled for Thursday at noon on the lawn of the Yellowstone County Courthouse, and a petition calling for Judge Baugh's resignation is now circulating.
Organizers of the silent protest have created a Facebook page which states:
In the ruling the judge claimed that the victim was "older than her chronological age." This is victim shaming at its absolute worst and Billings residents are gathering to show that we will not stand for it.
The online petition has garnered 890 signatures as of Tuesday evening.

So is little Link free-ballin' it or what?
madisn wrote:Kindle fire and xoom are two totally different animals. The fire is a bad ass e-reader, but with only 8G storage, no cameras, no speakers it just cant compare to the xoom. The Fire I ordered for my wife will be great for books and internet browsing, but the xoom is a power packed tablet that can also be an e-reader. I have had my xoom since day one and love it.
8GB of built in storage but "unlimited" cloud storage for free. Also, it has speakers, and access to the Amazon Appstore for Android. It's an Android tablet with a shiny skin.
I have been wanting one of these!
I've read thousands of comments, reviews and comparisons to iPad to the point I want to gouge my eyes out! Bottom line tabs are cool. Sure the iPad is sexy and sleek, but when it comes to functionality my Xoom is just as good if not better than anything else out there. I've read lots of people trying to turn their Xoom's in to missile command for the European front, get disappointed because it won't and blast the heck out of it as useless. A tab is not intended to replace your laptop/PC/Mac. Sure you can do a lot of similar things on a tab like most of the "general" stuff like email, Facebook and surfing, but try doing intense design work or reporting on a tab. It ain't happening. Maybe some day, but today its a stop gap between lugging around a laptop, a portfolio of papers, books and using your smartphone. The Xoom works and that's what matters. For those that compare Xoom to iPad, if you read carefully the things they are talking about are minuscule and really preferences more than fact. Apples to apples (excuse the pun) Xoom's hardware is superior to iPad. It all comes down to software and how the hardware is utilized! It's a little heavier and it doesn't have the bejillion accessaries an iPad has available, but who cares? I didn't buy the thing so I could pimp it out! And if you haven't invested hundreds or thousands of dollars in Apple products to run iTunes, then an Android Xoom tab is right for you. I have a Macbook, Apple TV and I use iTunes exclusively. But when I need to crossover, there are alternative ways to doing things. iPad, Mac and iTunes play nice with each other. So if that is the world you live in and you don't want to rig or have the know with how to "hook-up" your non-Apple products to work with Apple, then BUY an IPAD! Performance rocks. As for apps...I have not come across one they don't have that I need. Sure a lot of apps are bad, but do your research, read the comments of other users, make an good educated decision and you will be happy. Crappy apps do not = Xoom sucks. A crappy Android app will suck just as bad on a Xoom as any other Android tab or phone out there. It means the app sucks! My battery lasts forever. Every once and while i will hear something ding in my work bag letting me know that I need to take the Xoom out and use it more often! Then I rememberI haven't charged the thing in a week...yet it still has most of its juice. So standby time rocks! My personal uses for the Xoom - surfing the web (reading news mostly) Listen to music Watch videos/movies Check email Fantasy Football Facebook Skype etc.etc. etc. My work uses for Xoom - Check email Meeting notes, todos, action items Mind mapping Review docs, excel, ppt or PDF files Listen to music surf the web (read news mostly) My Xoom is wifi only. Picked up the EasyTether app and I bluetooth with my Droid X to get 3G when outa wifi range. No rooting necessary! Actually if I can't bluetooth with something I find I don't usually need it. Picked up the dropbox app and the files I need physically sync to my Xoom automatically when wifi connected from any PC I use it on. You really need to think CLOUD when using a tab. USB memory sticks, SD cards and connecting to your computer via USB are laptop/pc legacies. I have access to thousands of songs, videos, docs and files and only a handful are on my Xoom. Wifi on this little bugger rocks and you will find you won't need all those legacy relics of the past once you get used to going without. Is Xoom the best tab out there? I wouldn't look at from that perspective. It's an Android tab running pretty much the same Android every other tab does. Most people just get irritated at idea another tab has something they think they need! Trust me...been there done that myself. In reality though, as long as you can run the apps you feel you need, connect via wifi or even tether to your smartphone for cellular wifi, this tab is just as robust and good as the rest. I prefer high end Pioneer over Denon for my stereo equipment. Does that mean Denon is not as good? No. Apples to apples they pretty much do the same thing. What it comes down to is what sounds good to MY ear, what features it has and for the value/price it sells at. Show me an Android tab running Honeycomb that can do something my Xoom can't do just as well and I will admit I'm wrong.
Should I have waited for the Xoom 2 to come out? I'm a new tablet user and always wanted one.
I've had the Wi-Fi Xoom for months - it has replaced my laptop for meetings. Battery lasts for a couple of days of moderate use. The Wi-Fi works great tethered to my EVO with wireless hotspot, or I just connect to the building wireless on campus. There are Flash apps which work fine, so that's no issue at all. Yes, the screen gets smeared up, but I carry a small square of microfiber tucked into the carry case and just wipe the screen off when it gets lots of fingerprints. The Xoom is only one notch short of a netbook, and the main issue is the solid glass keyboard - not easy to type accurately. But it's a great tool and the only thing it competes with for my use is a netbook. It wins that matchup because the battery lasts about 10x as long.

Wow..yeah...didn't even notice that at all...poor little guy..
I'm considering this for my wife. She wants/need something to be able to sync her outlook calendar/emails and keep notes from meetings and such. I've had my droid phone for ever, and sync contacts/email/calendar with outlook. This is nice for me. Can I do the same with android on XOOM? I understand it is WIFI only, but with drop box, and some other apps, I think it would fit the bill, but wanted an opinion before I pull the trigger....

If they put up the Beemer I am definitely in for two.

I've had my Xoom since March '11, and absolutely LOVE it! I don't know what bugs you are talking about. I've seen absolutely none on mine. The update to 4G is being released today, if that is the update you are talking about. The microSD card and Flash updates were released several weeks ago. The Xoom makes the iPad look like a kid's toy. If you are considering the Xoom (WiFi only), I suggest you jump on this deal!

Absolutely, it does incredibly easy full sync with Outlook.
So basically this is a Honeycomb Android 10" tablet. It does not compare with the new Amazon reader, it's features blow that (pathetic little 7") one out of the water. Nor does it compare with the HP Touchpad running WebOS, Android Honeycomb makes that seem like a petulant child in comparison and good luck with that Android port.. how's that working out for you? It also doesn't compare with the iPad because it's multi-tasking and iPad is NOT. You don't even need to hack Honeycomb to be better than those other tabs OS, it just is on it's own. I have the ASUS Transformer which compares with this on many features and I would NEVER trade it for any of the aforementioned tablets... ever. If I didn't have my ASUS, I'd have no problem dropping the cash because this XOOM has 32 GB for about the same price as I paid for my 16 GB Transformer. Buy it, you won't be sorry. It has so many uses I'd never even considered before I'd started browsing the thousands of free Android apps on the marketplace.

If you wait on the "next version", you'll never purchase anything. That is true for all electronics.
I got the Xoom for testing in our college tech department, my office partner got the iPad2. They're pretty much tied for every function you can think of. She likes hers because she's a Mac user. I am a PC guy and the Android makes more sense to me than an iPad does. Even better, Apple doesn't get to control my life - I can pick from thousands of free and incredibly low cost apps on the Android market. We both got Wi-Fi versions and mine connect to my Droid EVO using hotspot. Gives me full 3G functionality without paying an extra $200 for the 3G tablet. If you don't want to pay for hotspot service, use PDANet and connect to your phone with a cable. Data charges apply...but I have unlimited data via Sprint.
AlyssaMuller wrote:CNET compares the Ipad2 vs the Zoom here: http://reviews.cnet.com/2722-3126_7-1085.html
To be fair, Cnet seems to be heavily biased in favor of Apple. They had the iPad win the round after saying something close to: "Honeycomb brings a full fledged browser experience with flash support, tabbed browsing, and basically touching google chrome. On the iPad, safari remains a solid browser.." I think they underrated the Xoom, and Honeycomb by a heavy margin.
I agree with you in general, but perhaps you can answer this. Have you EVER taken a photo with a tablet? If you have, why?

DrWu wrote:I've had one of these since release, and I love it. It's definately heavier than some of the newer tablets coming out (ie Galaxy Tab 10.1) but you can't beat it for this price. To answer a couple questions people had: Usb host mode - yes it does have this, you can buy cheap cables on amazon or you can buy Motorolas expensive cable The screen - The screen is awesome - durable and bright - yes bright. There is an "auto" brightness mode that is default and when you see them in the store that is usually what they're set on - in auto, it looks dim, take it out of auto and this thing is brighter and crisper than my wife's ipad. Also its Gorilla glass - I don't use screen covers, I hate them. I have no trouble keeping my screen clean and to date I don't have a single scratch. SD Card functionality - sucks. no better way to say it. you can only WRITE files to the sd card by copying them from your computer while tethered. untethered, the sd card is read only. this is fail imo, on the other hand - ipad doesn't have any sd card at all. updates - they were slow to come at first, but there has been 2 recently, one that enabled the SD card and another that provided some other fixes. 4G - this is a wifi only xoom - the 4g update will only be available on 3G xoom's. I have the 3G xoom but don't use the 3G, if I could go back I'd have waited and saved a few bux and gotten the wifi. HD - doesn't need to be docked, cables are cheap on amazon. charging - this thing holds a charge much longer than my wifes Ipad and charges much quicker. more on this vs ipad - my wife is litterally pissed that I bought her an ipad and then bought myself this. She loved her ipad when I got it for her and then hated it 3 months later when she saw my Xoom. I don't really use the ipad so I don't have much more to say on that, but missing flash is a big thing, she talks about it all the time. You don't realize how much flash is out on the web unntil you start trying to surf without it. Apps - in almost every Cnet article they knock android for not having as many apps as the ipad - well its time call BS on that -almost every decent app available has both an ipad and an android version. more and more when I see ipad new ipad apps being reviewed I look in the android market and sure enough - find a the same app there. Sure there are some DUMB hold out developers that still only develop on the ipad but really they're just being short sighted and dumb. Bottom line - at this price, this is a great tablet. I'm considering getting one for my wife and selling her ipad.
Can you tell me if you can purchase an American Sign Language (ASL) App? I'm looking forward to ebooks, internet browsing, and apps for sign language and professional documents. The pandgital 9 is slow and the apps are less selective and without an upgrade in sight, I loss money on that one. Now I've learned to read the reviews of consumers like you. Thanks!
I have had this tablet since a few day after it came out and it ROCKS !!! Best android tablet on the market worth every penny (I paid $900.00)
mottuv wrote:$329.34 at The Electronic Superstore no tax & free shipping
Can you give me the website?
Own it, love it--a true laptop replacement. It's connectable (USB micro, HDMI out), expandable (micro SD), and my old bluetooth keyboard works perfectly with it for extensive typing jobs. I paid for Documents to Go, so that I can edit Office documents, but all my other productivity apps have been free or offered free through the Amazon App Store or GetJar: Android Sync Manger-wirelessly syncs Outlook; WiFi File Explorer Pro-wirelessly syncs both the internal memory and the SD card; Bluetooth File Transfer-ditto, via Bluetooth; DropBox-ditto, and possibly the most awesome file management app ever. And don't tell [insert wireless carrier here], but PDANet has a tablet version that proxies the tablet through a cell phone when no wifi is available. Battery life is ~10 hours when actively working, and DAYS on standby, it boots in seconds, and the display is beautiful. My one gripe is the proprietary charging cable--no USB charging.

This video review is more than a little outdated.
If you are on the fence here are 2 great videos of the XOOM in action. http://youtu.be/VsqTQKJTN0U http://youtu.be/2PzSJv3Pcsk
I've always said that tablets, to someone like me at least, seem fairly ridiculous and not all that useful. I mean, I have an Android phone already for portable Androidiness, and I just don't see much use in what, to me, looks like an oversized phone that may or may not actually work like a phone (in this case, definitely not, as it's the wifi version). But that said, I do once in a while write Android apps. And the Android emulator for anything in the tablet line of Android devices is, to put it charitably, borderline completely unusable (though I've heard they're trying to fix that). Although I might not have much use for a tablet, I'd like to make sure anything I make DOES work well on them for people who DO. So, if anyone knows, does the Xoom make a good development device or effectively a reference model for Android tablets? Might be worth picking one up if so.

Hear, hear. So tired of the 'hide your head in the sand' mentality when it comes to not being able to view Flash on the iPad. There's a ton of Flash content out there, and that fact isn't changing anytime soon.

Maybe the rear camera for pictures isn't all that important, but I think the front camera for Skype or other video chat is pretty essential on a full-featured tablet.

you can cancel the Fire order if you want. I'm guessing you don't want to cancel.
I agree in principle with everything you said, except "no speakers". From the Fire's specs: 3.5 mm stereo audio jack, top-mounted stereo speakers. That doesn't change the fact I DO agree with you, just want to make sure that the information presented is accurate.
I'm not buying one - because I already have two of them... But just want to let you know that this is an awesome tablet! The reason I went with this one is because you can add a 32g microSD card to it. Very nice if you like to use your Xoom to watch movies!

The Xoom is a GED - "Google Experience Device" and as such it gets android updates quicker and isn't subject to motorola messing around too much with the code so I think it makes a good reference platform for development. (this can be good and bad - for instance, Asus and other tablets had SD card access WAY before the Xoom did because Asus implemented their own hack to get it rather than wait for Googles implementation)
TweetyBear wrote:is this not a good price?
No, search the Web, about the going rate for a referb.
OK, I'm sold on the Xoom. What's your opinion of the warranty? Is it worth getting the Square Trade extended warranty?
My laptop just died this morning. Personally I like the laptop for sitting on the couch and browsing the web, (we do have a desktop in the other room) but being on a tight budget, could this be a possible replacement for a laptop?

Thank you! Isn't there an issue if the app was designed for a mobile phone instead of a tablet? it seems, this is the only deal breaker if accessing the apps on a full screen instead of 16:9?!?! I was able to test the apps out on Amazon's Android App Market and they are the same on the link you provided. Sot that's cool points!
Quick question, which has held me back from purchasing a tablet (it may be dumb, but I am not a techie). Is it truly $200 or so more expensive to outfit these tablets with 3g or 4g capabilities? ideally I would want a tablet with 3g, on a pay as you go plan for the few times it will leave the house and be needed in a non-wifi area. However, the added cost doesn't seem to justify it. Someone, please enlighten me as to why the 3g tablets are so much more expensive and whether i should just give up and stop assuming the price differences between the models will ever decrease

I can't pry my wife's Xoom out of her hands... I had to get my own. I love it. Best Tablet out there. Smokes the IPad Dual Core Multi-tasking 32GB USB HDMI Java Flash it does it ALL !
Bought a 3G Galaxy Tab on here months ago and loved that thing but I really wanted a 10" screen so I'm pretty pumped to get this! Probably gonna go sell my Galaxy for a couple hundred bucks on ebay now.

Hostel is located near major attractions. Pretty decent hostel except when i was there, there were a group of party goers staying in the hostel who would come back about 4am and make a lot of noise. Next morning, all the tell tale signs in the bathroom and toilet.

The location is tough to beat, it's rt on Ramblas and in the Gothic district so there are tons of shops, bars, and restaurants. The main downside is the fact that this hostel does NOT allow alcohol on the premises. As a traveler on vacation, this was a real dagger... Tough to party and have fun without alcohol. Basically means it ends up as just a place to sleep and shower which is fine if that's what you're looking for.

Breakfast is terrible. There are no individual plugs and nightlights, so the entire room had to share the few that were available far from the beds. The bathroom gets very dirty in the evening since they only clean in the morning.

The infomercials you repeatedly see everyday are always tempting. Especially that now, you are on the third month on the latest acne product you purchased and acne goes away and comes back. The product you thought that worked just cannot stop your breakouts anymore.
Surely, there are different types of skin with different levels of acne severity. Dermatological experts say however that for every acne patient, there is always a solution.
What Causes Acne?
Hormonal shifts due to puberty or menstrual cycle trigger a shoot-up of sebum and skin cells just below the follicles. This then clogs the pores causing the follicle beneath to push itself outwards causing swelling. Bacteria then worsen this bump by making it swell even more.To know more on how to manage acne, read some acne product reviews today.
Treatment Options
• Topical pore cleansers or spot treatments – commonly contains benzoyl peroxide and or salicylic acid. As people can develop a resistance to it, it is advisable that you find 2 trusted products and interchangeably use then after a month or two. Your dermatologist would probably suggest using effective pore cleanser if you have mild acne and a different or combined approach of your acne condition is moderate to severe.
• Hormone and Oil Control – would include antibiotics, which is normally the frontliner when it comes to treatment of severe acne. It could also be paired with a topical product for best results.
If in your case antibiotics don't work, your dermatologist has a fairly long list of other treatments and approaches that will be effective for you. One other approach is an anti-androgen drug. There are possible side effects but not if you use the brand suggested by your doctor and not the generic ones. Another possibility is that your dermatologist may actually combine two or three different approaches. Like for example, he might let you take antibiotics and recommend you use a certain topical cream or gel. Also, after being cured of your acne, you might need to stop undergoing the same exact treatment you were on. You could be on a maintenance program to prevent relapse. What is important is that there is definitely a treatment that is effective for each acne problem skin. Do not lose hope. Visit your dermatologist and find out what treatment is best for you and enjoy the results.

Just wanted to point out this incredible picture of a Taiwania, I'm pretty sure it's the one at Villa Taranto and hopefully it wasn't damaged in the freak tornado they had a couple years ago. That was the most beautiful garden I'd ever visited when I went there in 2010. (with Isola di Brissago a close second) You can click for a big version but I'm not going to deep link because it's not considered kosher. Anyhow, wanted to point out the first time I saw a Taiwania at the NCSU arboretum in the mid 1990s, which was only about 5' tall at the time. I thought, why would anyone plant this hideous, prickly little thing. It was like an extra spiny, misshapen Cryptomeria. Anyone else have ugly duckling to beautiful swan conifer examples? |

Coaster Company Bar Stools Wooden Bar Stool (Set of 2) Dark Walnut
Item #: 357180079-P
Description: With casual and simple designs,this 29 inch bar stool will make a great addition to a relaxed environment in your home. The wooden composition consists of shapely scooped seating,straight wood legs and an attractive dark walnut finish. Whether you need extra seating for guests or want to create a casual dining atmosphere,this bar stool offers a humble style that is sure to mix well with existing decor. Also available in black or oak finishes to best fit the look you need.
- Collection: Bar Stools
- Brand: Coaster Company
- Size: 29" H x 18" W x 15.75" D
- Finish: Dark Walnut
- Type: [Bar Stools]
- Available in the following sizes: 29" H x 18" W x 15.75" D
Nice, tall bar stools. Handy to tuck away under an island or table in a small kitchen or nook. One of these showed up broken (alignment dowels on underside of seat that align the legs for assembly managed to split the piece of wood under the seat that the legs screw into. I believe it to be shipped that way, which gives me some concern for the manufacturer, but the other stool seems sturdy and well built. Customer service straightened out my issue with the broken stool and I should be getting the replacement today. The only thing that I have to complain about is the somewhat sharp edges on the foot rests - the tops of the stool seat are rounded nicely, but the foot rests have some fairly sharp corners that don't feel great if you're barefoot or in socks.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

? Share a...
Joyce L
get it
I love this one, so hot, literally hot. I tried it on when I received it, and I didn't even turn on the heat in my room and oh my god, I got warm up right a away, no kidding, and it's very stylish. For ladies who can't take chilling days, like east coast with only windy 10 F, very well, you should buy this one.
Get it!
Love this! So warm and I've gotten so many compliments, different design, very unique piece!
Snug Fit
This sweatshirt is more of a snug fit than some. I am about 2 and the xs was perfect and not bulky. Great to layer between a base and shell on really cold days - and I love the waterproof feature!
While I do love how comfy this jacket is, it fits a bit tight in the arms making it a great layer over a thin shirt only. Over a sweater - it bunches up.

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe reports: When President Obama welcomed the chief executives from 13 of the nation's biggest banks to the White House last Friday, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs billed it as a "good, productive, and frank" conversation. Emphasis, it appears, on the frank. As first reported by Politico's Eamon Javers, and confirmed by ABC News with industry sources, some bankers gave explanations for the industry's high salaries, such as "competing for talent on an international market." But, President Obama cut them off. "My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks," the president told them. The CEOs might have guessed they were in for a rough go of it. They found themselves gathered at a table with nothing more than a single glass of water at each seat. No food, no other beverages, no ice — no refills, even. During the meeting, JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon jokingly presented Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner with a fake check for $25 billion, the amount of money the bank got from the Troubled Asset Relief Program. Geithner didn't take it. Joked Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis later, "I'm not going to suck up to Geithner and [NEC Director Larry] Summers like the other CEOs here have." After the meeting last Friday, one bank CEO told ABC News, "There were differences of opinion. I wouldn't say it was contentious, but we weren't all sitting around the table singing 'Kumbaya' either."
