Taylor Swift "Topless" Photo Leaked?
"Taylor Swift Topless Private Pic Leaked?" reads the headline of a piece from Celeb Jihad, which posted a photo of a blonde woman, who it notes "bears a striking resemblance" to Swift.
A version of the very dubious image – which Gossip Cop has censored – is shown here.
But is the woman reclining on a bed with her breasts exposed really Swift?
Gossip Cop has learned that it is definitely NOT the superstar singer.
And we're told Swift's lawyers have demanded that the offending item be removed, claiming it represents "false pornographic images" and "false news" about the singing superstar.
Celeb Jihad tells Gossip Cop that the alleged topless shot of "Taylor Swift shall stay up."
Sniff. Sniff. Is that the smell of a lawsuit?

PULLMAN, WASH. (AP) - Senior forward Jason Kapono scored a career-high 44 points Saturday to lead UCLA past Washington State 98-83.
Kapono went 14-for-19 from the field, including 9-for-10 on 3-pointers, and 7-for-7 at the free-throw line. He broke his own school record of seven 3-pointers in one game.
UCLA (4-5, 2-0 Pacific-10 Conference) defeated Washington State (5-6, 0-2) for the 20th straight time. Marcus Moore led WSU with 22 points.
The Bruins shot season bests of 63.5 percent, 40-for-63, from the field, 64.7 percent, 11-for-17, from 3-point range and 87.5 percent, 7-for-8, from the free-throw line. WSU shot 37.5 percent from the field, including 35.5 percent on 3-pointers, and 72 percent from the line.
Kapano, who had scored his career high of 28 points five times, had 25 points at the half. UCLA led 53-37 at halftime.
Despite Kapano's big night, four teammates scored 10 or more points, including T.J. Cummings with 16. Kapano tied his career high of six assists.
The Cougars never came closer than eight points in the second half. Senior swingman Cedric Hughey, making the first start in his two years at WSU due to the back injury of Milton Riley, scored a career-high 15 points.
Senior guard Jerry McNair, who averaged 11.6 points last season, played his first game for WSU after gaining academic eligibility.

I gave up almost all caffeine one year ago this week.
I did a detox where one of the requirements was no caffeine or alcohol. Friends joked and said they'd have more trouble giving up alcohol than caffeine.
I love to have a cocktail on the weekends and occasionally during the week, but giving up caffeine and my beloved Diet Pepsi?
I was scared.
By 4 p.m. on the first day, I wondered if I should drive. I thought driving my kids across town to gymnastics might be posing a threat to us and any drivers around us. I couldn't think and the pounding in my head was debilitating.
At gymnastics, I had to lie across two chairs because the very thought of getting back in the car and having to concentrate again for 20 minutes was almost more than I could bear.
That night I went to bed at 8:30 p.m. and slept straight through til 6:30 the next morning.
And as I moved through the 10 days of the detox, I began feeling better and better and better. By the end, my husband and I had a talk about not "going back" to the old caffeine usage.
We decided to give it a try – giving up caffeine as much as would be practical for our lives.
I started by only having one Diet Pepsi a week – I considered it my "treat." By the end of the month, I no longer did even that. The taste that I'd previously craved almost viscerally, I could no longer tolerate. And I'd never been a big coffee drinker, so that was easy to give up.
Now, one year later, I'll have the occasional hot or iced tea and our drink of choice when we go out is Red Bull and vodka. So I get some caffeine in my system.
But I will never, ever, ever again get as hooked on it as I was a year ago.
I've learned something important in the last year:
Water really is enough to fuel your body.

Multiple sources are reporting that the Nationals have acquired RHP Alex Caldera for cash from the Kansas City Royals.
Caldera split time between High-A Wilmington and AA Northwest Arkansas in 2010, compiling a records of 6-4, 3.25 and 3-2, 5.12 respectively. He was a 13th-round pick in the 2007 draft and helped lead the 2008 Burlington Bees to the Midwest League championship with a 12-6, 2.89 mark and 120Ks in 149.2 IP. He struggled in his first run at High-A, allowing more hits than innings pitched and walking a career-high 53 batters with a 4.77 ERA.
His scouting report from Royals minor-league blog The Pinetar Press reads very much like a taller, right-handed version of Tom Milone (numbers updated):
[A] finesse pitcher, tossing rather consistently in the upper 80s and hitting the low 90s occasionally. He compliments his fastball with an average changeup and a slightly above average curveball… Much like he was in college, he has proven [to be] a control artist over the years, allowing an average of 2.8 BB/9 over 442 1/3 innings of duty. Caldera owns a career 3.78 professional ERA over 78 starts and 85 appearances. At 6'3″, 200 lbs., he has a rather projectable frame.
The 25-year-old is currently assigned to the Potomac roster but could very well end up in Harrisburg at the beginning of the season.
9 Responses to "Nationals Pick Up Royals Farmhand For Cash"
My 1st question would be why the Royals are willing to unload him, but a couple a days ago I read where the Royals have the best farm system seen in 30 years.
I guess this guy never broke the Royals' top 30, or they would have said. I find it interesting that this signing comes so soon after discussions of how crowded Harrisburg and Syracuse's pitching staffs will be. The staffs are not so good that this guy can't possibly knock one member of them out of the organization.
Agreed that he'll likely push someone out of the organization, but he'll probably be no more than filler going forward (right-handed corner painters tend to have short shelf lives).
The next ten days are going to be interesting on the minor-league side of things, to be sure.

I'm still guessing they keep 13. Detwiler starts tomorrow while Lannan pitches in the minor league game. I see a trade or trades involving Lannan (he's cheaper and younger) and/or Marquis looming. With Milone pitching as well as he is in ST?
I don't think that they are going to want Detwiler to relieve. He's a starter. He's got more value to the organization as a starter in AAA who is stretched out and ready to step in upon demand rather than a reliever who is getting inconsistent work and not getting a chance to demonstrate durability with inconsistent MLB innings. If we were the Giants or Rays making a pennant run, you probably keep Detwiler up, but we're a young team that needs to marshall and develop assets.
I heard there were several players that were cut from the minor leagues this week. Anyone have any knowledge who they were?

College Hockey:Black Bears Maul Huskies
Freshman Forwards Lead Maine to Road Romp
BOSTON — The University of Maine Black Bears handed Northeastern their first loss at home in a 6-2 victory in front of 4,085 Friday night at Matthews Arena. Led by freshmen forwards Adam Shemansky and Matt Mangene, the Black Bears won their first road game of the season by the largest margin of victory between the two teams since 2007.
We are very pleased with them, said head coach Tim Whitehead. Theyve been playing hard and theyve been playing clean and theyve been chipping in a lot on offense. The younger players are getting more comfortable in the system. Were getting there
The first period got off to a slow start as the first three minutes passed without a single shot on goal. Although both teams were tied at nine attempts apiece, Maine managed to put it in the net first at 17:40 thanks to Shemansky, who snuck one past Chris Rawlings on passes from teammates Matt Mangene and Kyle Beattie.
Where the game lacked in physicality on the ice, it certainly wasnt the case on the Black Bear bench. In the middle of the period, Whitehead had to head to the locker room to get patched up after receiving a stick to his forehead from Black Bear blueliner Mike Cornell. He returned minutes later unfazed.
Im alright, said Whitehead. Ive taken worse hits unfortunately. The doctor thinks it will be around six or seven stitches.
Whiteheads battle wound foreshadowed the physicality to come for the rest of the game. Where penalties and points lacked in the first period, they certainly made up for lost time in the second. A little over a minute into the period, Husky captain Tyler McNeely received a two minute minor penalty for hooking.
Two seconds after that power play expired, Spencer Abbott made it a 2-0 game thanks to help from Adam Shemansky and Brian Flynn.
After a plethora of penalties in the middle frame, Will ONeill made it 3-0 with assists from Spencer Abbott and Brian Flynn.
After Northeastern failed to convert on their power play, Maine responded with a Mike Banwell goal with just 15 seconds left in the second period.
They played a smart game, said Northeastern head coach. They played a high percentage game. They were very composed in the d-zone. They played the way we should play.
After Maines Kyle Solomon scored shorthanded to make it 6-1, Cronin had seen enough and benched freshman netminder Chris Rawlings.
He didnt play well, said Cronin. He had a bad game.
Of the 38 minutes in penalties his team took, Cronin was nonplussed.
Were not going to go anywhere until we start playing with discipline. That doesnt just include penalties, its all over the ice.
The two teams are set to face off again on Saturday at Matthews Arena at 7 p.m.

Ever heard of dynamic-design-bid-build project delivery?Project: Lake Champlain Bridge Replacement
Managing agency: New York State and Vermont DOTs
Primary consultant: HNTB Corp.
Primary contractor: Flatiron
Built in 1929, the Lake Champlain Bridge connecting Crown Point, N.Y., and Chimney Point, Vt., is one of only two bridges linking two regions that share critical services like hospitals and fire protection. The area is also one of the most environmentally and historically sensitive sites in the U.S., with historic forts and artifacts on both sides of the lake.
In October 2009 significant deterioration was discovered in the bridge piers. HNTB Corp. was originally contracted for bridge improvements, but a routine inspection revealed worsening cracks in the piers. A safety assessment revealed that rehabilitation risked destabilizing the structure. In December the bridge was demolished and HNTB was asked to provide design and construction services for a replacement.
The emergency closure necessitated an 85-mile detour that was a hardship for local communities. The project team's dual challenge was to build a bridge within a compressed time frame that minimized environmental and cultural impacts in two states.
The solution was a dynamic-design-bid-build (D2B2) approach to complete the design on a compressed schedule with the traditional functions of final design, bid packaging, advertising, and permitting performed concurrently.
Click here for the rest of the award-winning projects.
Next year's award deadline: March 4, 2014
Working closely with the New York State Department of Transportation, which served as the managing agency, the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), and FHWA, the team developed a plan to give the communities a new bridge within two years. The design process featured exceptional integration and cooperation between state agencies, historic consulting groups, two federal jurisdictions, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the public.
Result: The new Lake Champlain Bridge opened on Nov. 7, 2011, four years sooner than it would have using traditional design-bid-build. In addition to saving millions of dollars, D2B2 is a blueprint for work on sensitive sites to minimize construction impacts and project delays.

Hi John,
As a new member to the group, I just found this discussion so pardon the tardy reply! The way I understand modes may be a bit unorthodox, but I think I can help nonetheless. First off, the modes on guitar and modes on mando are the same, because the scale modes are theoretical concepts that are independent of the instrument. Thus, so long as you understand the underlying theoretical concept, all you need to do is apply that concept to the instrument of choice (easier said than done, right!). In the case of the mando, let's say you have a basic I, IV, V chord progression in the key of C. When soloing you could just hang out in the C major scale and solo to your heart's content. However, introducing some modal soloing should spice up the solo and provide and strengthen the relationship between each solo phrase and the chord under which it's played.
First off, let's describe modes a bit first. A mode is a variation of a scale that simply changes the tonic note. The actual scale degrees do NOT change...only the note that you start/end on. So, taking C major for example, the first mode of C major is called "Ionian" and this is the one that we all learn when we learn scales. We're just never simultaneously taught that its modal name is "Ionian." The notes are as follows:
If we were to take this same scale, but start and end on D instead of C, the scale would be called "D Dorian." The notes would remain the same...it's just that our start and end note would be D instead of C.
So, in our I, IV, V progression, during the I chord (C), you'd solo using the C major scale in "Ionian" mode ensuring to start and end you solo phrase on C. Then when the IV chord (F) starts, keep the same fingering pattern for the C major scale, but start and end on F instead of C (this is called the "F Lydian" scale). Finally, when the V chord (G) starts, play the same C major scale pattern, but start and end on a G note (aka the "G Mixolydian" scale). The same logic applies for the minor chords as well. Let's say you have a ii chord (Dm) thrown in. What would you do? You guessed it! Still using the same C major scale pattern, just start and end on a D note (aka the "D Dorian" mode).
Modal soloing is dependent on the soloist's ability to hear the chord changes and adjust his/her solo accordingly. I think utilizing the same major scale pattern that corresponds with the key of the song is the easiest way to get started with this. Once you're comfortable with this, you could then explore differing patterns that correspond with the modes in different places on the fretboard.
In the case of the mandolin, take your closed position major scale pattern and memorize where the tonic notes are located for the chords in any given key. Start small and work your way up. For example, just start with the major chords. So, in C, memorize where the C, F, and G notes live within the C major scale on the fretboard. These locations within the pattern will be the same no matter what major key you're in. In this way, you can focus on utilizing a single scale pattern which can be moved up and down the neck depending on the key of the song. Once you're comfortable with soloing around the major chords (the I, IV, and V), start memorizing where the tonics for the minor chords are located (ii, iii, vi). If at any point you get lost within the solo, or forget which note you're suppose to start/end on, no worries. Just use the key tonic (C in our example) as home-base and it'll sound good.
I hope this helps and makes sense. Sorry if I explained concepts for which you're already familiar! Let me know if I can provide additional clarity on any of this.

NDF is well known for its ability to detox heavy metal using natural plants. The problem that people often face when using NDF is that they can't get the heavy metal out of their body. The heavy metal simply circulates it around the body. This is common complain and happened to my ASD kids too. After years doing detox, I come to conclussion that it is not that NDF can't purge out heavy metal. Several factors affect body's ability to purge out heavy metal: 1) THE BODY'S CONSTITUTION- that is to say that is the body well enough to purge out the metal the natural way? That is to say the body must be well supplemented to optimum level before purging so that the detox process can take place. 2)Gut's health- if your guts are not well and full of dysbiosis, no matter how many bottles of NDF you took, it won't purge the heavy metal. This is due to the fact that dysbiosis conceals/latch on heavy metal. The heavy metal won't be able to come out. 3) for advance users only: Use EDTA oral and NDF together to give maximum result. ( such combination not to be used on initial step of detox program). When the body is not ready for detox, DO NOT do heavy metal detox. It will make things worst as it circulates the heavy metal around the body.
It costs me $50 dollars to receive an I.V. of CalEDTA at my doctors clinic. So I bought this product believing it would supplement my chelation protocol. The problem is, when I take this, even two tiny little droplets, I feel like garbage for hours. When I go to the docs office to get an I.V. done, I leave feeling good, the symptom areas even feel better, and I know its chelating because I feel better in the days following it. Therefore I have to say that this product simply isn't working for me, and I won't purchase it again. I will stick to CalEDTA I.V.'s and DMSA tablets like my doc says.

A spoof on an institution that already verges on self-parody, Pageant is a light, pleasant diversion. It's laden with crazy, giddy moments and, like most drag comedy, pokes fun at the affectations and lapses of ladylike propriety. The sociological ramifications of beauty contests in general, placing excessive value on attributes that really, have little to do with anybody's contribution to society, would seem to be a perfect fit for the skepticism and irony of camp. From the first two musical numbers : Natural Born Females and Something Extra, Pageant just loves to nudge us in the ribs with the "open secret" that there may a great deal of overblown femininity on display, but very little estrogen. It explores the gray area of nuanced excess. We can forgive their jabs at female empowerment when we question how seriously any woman participating in such a spectacle could be taking such considerations.
Conceived by Robert Longbottom, with Book and Lyrics by Bill Russell and Frank Kelly and Music composed by Albert Evans, Pageant is a very satisfying send-up of a middle-class paradigm for female success that has somehow, managed to survive into the 21st Century. It has just enough silliness, venom and tongue-in-cheek raunch to keep us tickled while the contestants demonstrate poise, talent, and guest commercial spots for chief sponsor : Glamouresse. Comparisons to the goddess of love, self-pleasuring devices disguised as "beauty tools" (that's Girl Power!) a militant, born-again Christian contestant, a pompadoured emcee who doesn't even bother to conceal his flask, it all just enhances the cheesy tapestry of this loopy endeavor.
Special props must be given to the cast : Ashton McKay Shawver (Miss Bible Belt) Peter DiCesare (Miss Deep South) Micah Green (Miss Great Plains) Sergio Antonio Garcia (Miss Industrial Northeast) Walter Lee (Miss Texas) and Drew Kelly (Miss West Coast). In addition to learning lines, songs, dance numbers, "talents," these gentlemen took the time to cultivate the demanding art of female impersonation, learning the attitude, comportment, posture, and zillion additional details to create the complicated illusion women are compelled to endure, just to thrive in a vacuous, patriarchal culture. It couldn't have been easy, but for the audience, it made the experience just that much more entertaining. B. J. Cleveland as Frankie Cavalier, exhibited just the right blend of resignation, finesse and incredulity to make for the perfect host.
Uptown Players presents : Pageant : The Musical Comedy Beauty Contest, playing March 28th-April 13th, 2014. Kalita Humphreys Theater, 3636 Turtle Creek Blvd, Dallas, Texas 75219. 214-219-2718. www.uptownplayers.org

Mish mash of stuff
Friday, April 05, 2013
So, today is starting off good. Slept about 30 minutes later than I normally would on a Friday. That isn�t really good, but I usually have time to spare on Fridays. I let my son take my car to school and I take the bus in to work. It saves me a ton of driving and lets him feel good that he gets to drive. A win win situation for both. Plus I can get to work earlier and leave earlier, then catch the bus to the gym, workout and be about done when he is on the way back home and he can pick me up at the gym. It is always nice to catch the bus once in awhile. It allows a relaxing commute where I can read and listen to music and not have to worry about driving.
I had a great off day yesterday. It was rest day. But, I am looking forward to a busy weekend. I am going to the gym tonight. Will likely fiddle around with my bike and get a new tube put on so I can go riding with my youngest tomorrow on a local trail. I am letting her bring a friend, and I am taking my son. So, I will get to do some hard riding while he rides with the girls, then I will take it easy with the girls while he rides hard alone. It will be a good day. I hope to hit the gym as well so my riding won�t exactly be hard riding, but I am more looking forward to getting the butt in shape for the bike seat.
If all shakes out with the bike on Saturday I may change Sunday to an outdoor ride instead of the gym which will be a nice change of pace. Sunday is dance practice with my little one. And this starts a busy week. Dance Sunday, then rehearsal on Wednesday, then the recital on Friday and Saturday. Most likely I will take half a day vacation on Friday so I can make the gym before our recital and Saturday should be an easy day to make the gym beforehand.
So, now I have my week planned. I am actually hoping to ride outside after work on Monday as well. That will give me 3 days in a row of getting outside on my bike! I can�t wait! I am so glad the weather is finally getting warm enough to get some riding in. Call me a wimp, but below 60 and I get freezing on my bike. And I don�t have much in the way of good cold weather riding gear, so I am a spring, summer and fall rider. Not one of those brave souls who ride outside in all weather. I am thinking about climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro on the bike tonight. It will be on a lower resistance setting than the 11 I am on, but it will be a good hard cardio session to jump start me into the outdoor riding and a good test to see how I am doing overall fitness wise.

I enjoy being able to sit back and relax and not have to drive every once in a while. I am hoping to get out this weekend and let my son ride his bike on a trail while I jog with my dog. Now if you could just get your oldest out with you guys it would be a family outing!! You have a busy week indeed!! But sound slike you will have a lot of fun. I don't like to be outside when it's below 60 anyway. LOl Im spolied by the warm weather we have here in the south. Have a great weekend!!

Scientists investigating icy volcanoes on Earth have uncovered clues that could help us to find signs of life on Mars.
Heat, water and minerals combine on ice-covered volcanoes to sustain tiny, basic forms of life. Scientists hope that, by creating detailed descriptions of the rocks and chemistry of these icy volcanos on Earth, they will be able to detect similar environments on the Red Planet.
'These environments are fascinating because they exist in such a primitive setting,' says Dr Claire Cousins of Birkbeck, University of London, the study's lead author.
'They are not affected by groundwater or seawater and this makes them very relevant to understanding the possibility of life on Mars; such simple volcanic environments may have existed there in the past.'
'Finding life on Mars, even past life, will really highlight our place in the cosmos, and show whether biology naturally occurs wherever the local environmental conditions allow.' Dr Claire Cousins, Birkbeck
'But to find them on Mars, we need to understand how they look on Earth.'
Cousins and her team explored the Askja and Kverkfjoll volcanos in central Iceland, finding an incredibly diverse range of minerals over just a few square kilometres.
If they could find the same mineral patterns on the surface of Mars, it could point to life-supporting environments that existed there in the past.
Finding traces of those environments on Mars will be no easy task, but Cousins believes that new technology could hold the key to unlocking the secrets of Martian history.
'With orbital data we can get an idea of which minerals are present across large areas, but we are limited to those minerals at the very surface, which is often weathered and covered in Martian dust,' she says.
'But with rovers such as NASA Curiosity, or the upcoming European Space Agency mission, ExoMars, we can drill beneath the surface. Even a few centimetres can make a big difference.'
Cousins and her team will now focus on the biology of icy volcanos, in an effort to understand exactly how the tiny organisms that live there exploit their unlikely habitat, and whether they could also survive on Mars.
She believes that finding evidence of life on Mars can help us to understand not only the origins of biology, but also our place in the universe.
'We know so little about the origins of life on Earth, and absolutely nothing about the distribution of life elsewhere,' she says.
'Finding life on Mars, even past life, will really highlight our place in the cosmos, and show whether biology naturally occurs wherever the local environmental conditions allow.'
The study is published in the Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research and was supported by NERC equipment and facilities. Further funding came from the Leverhulme Trust.

Adventure filmmaker Skip Armstrong puts viewers in the middle of river rapids and other extreme settings, but he also includes the more subtle sights and sounds at the periphery of each shot.
Adventure filmmaker Skip Armstrong puts viewers in the middle of river rapids and other extreme settings.
It might be tempting to say that Skip Armstrong's films are about kayaking, motorcycle stunts, or other extreme sports. And they are, at least on the surface.
But viewers of his award-winning films quickly realize they're more than just fodder for adrenaline junkies. Armstrong not only takes viewers on a journey to the middle of the river rapids or the dirt-bike track, he also shows them the more subtle sights and sounds around each shot.
"If you were in real life going to go down and see that waterfall or watch someone kayak off it, you would walk down to the river and you would get to an amazing viewpoint," says Armstrong. "But meanwhile, on that hike you would see all these incredible things—you'd see maybe the first autumn leaves changing on the bottom of the ground, or little driplets here and there. And one of the things I love doing is capturing all the cool things that I notice on the way to these places."
Armstrong, who won the Dolby® Audio Post Production Award at the Banff Film Festival in 2012, also appreciates the potential of sound in his films.
"When I won the Dolby scholarship at Banff, I was really excited. All of a sudden I had access to tools and people with incredible [audio] knowledge," says Armstrong. "Picture is really literal. Sound is much more subtle. It's creating the mood that the picture is feeding you. Sound is giving you more information that you wouldn't have from just picture."
Learn how Dolby encourages filmmakers like Skip Armstrong to take advantage of available sound technologies through the Dolby Institute.
Our mission is to educate and inspire content providers in the effective use of audio and visual technologies as a creative tool.

Okay so you've been looking and looking for that next great position and nothing, not even a job nibble has floated your way. Then, all of sudden, doors are opening and the offers are coming in left and right. How do you ultimately choose the best position for you?
Well, of course salary is a major item, but sometimes the benefits and perks can over shadow what might be viewed as even a meager salary, so what's an applicant to do?
You can try some tried and true methods to help you navigate the waters and ensure that you and the right for you job connect. Sit down and chart it out. Make a list of all the position has to offer as well as all you might have to settle for and/or give up to take the position. Its best to never let salary alone dictate the job you accept, because in the end you could actually end up short changing yourself.
After you've charted each offer (and always first be certain that it's a valid offer with a definite start date), sit down and compare each position and be honest with yourself about what's most important to you. Review travel distance, expenses and growth potential, along with salary and benefits. You also want to look at just how much time the position will require, because if you make 100,000.00 a year, but are required to work 22 hours a day, it might not be worth it to you.
Whatever you decide, remember to enjoy your decision making process, because you worked really hard on your job search, fought off your natural inclination to give up when doors didn't open right away and now is your time, to sit back and "entertain offers." There's a reason why that phrase includes the word "entertain," because this is supposed to be the enjoyable part of your job search. So enjoy!!!

ACCRA (Reuters) - Ghana company Surfline Communications launched the country's first 4G data network on Tuesday in partnership with French technology company Alcatel-Lucent, making Ghana the sixth nation in sub-Saharan Africa to get the high speed service.
The wholly-owned company invested more than $100 million for the first phase of the Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network, which has 300 cell sites, according to Chairman John Taylor, who owns a string of oil-related businesses, and wholly owns Surfline.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a growing and exciting ecosystem comprised of an array of different technologies.
Currently, IoT networks are heterogeneous, with short-range, mid-range, and long-range connections. These three levels of IoT connectivity options are determined based on how widespread the connections need to be –immediate, specified geography, or widespread. Although a mix of technologies will make up the ecosystem, standards for Long Term Evolution (LTE) will play an increasingly larger role in facilitating long-range connections.

TAIPEI (Reuters) - Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, the world's No. 2 telecom equipment maker, said on Monday it will achieve sustainable growth in 2014 after posting a 19 percent jump in first-half revenue to 135.8 billion yuan ($21.88 billion).
The Shenzhen-based company also said it expected to generate an operating margin of 18.3 percent in the first six months of 2014. The company did not elaborate in its brief statement.
More people than ever are using 4G-LTE networks, and this influx of smart devices, machines and appliances connected to the Internet will cause extra traffic, and strain the capabilities that draw consumers to a new network in the first place.
By 2017, according to a recent report by Pyramid Research, the number of LTE subscriptions worldwide will reach 802.2 million, a 72% CAGR over 2012 levels, growing to almost 10 percent of global mobile subscribers.
TOKYO - SoftBank Corp CEO Masayoshi Son, who has met resistance from U.S. regulators to a possible acquisition of wireless carrier T-Mobile US Inc, on Tuesday said there had been new movement in the past few months and expressed hope for more discussion.
He reiterated in an interview with a handful of reporters his stance that it would be good for U.S. consumers if his Sprint Corp, the No.3 U.S. mobile provider which SoftBank acquired last year, could become bigger and compete more effectively with the two largest carriers.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Handsets made by ZTE Corp and Nokia, now owned by Microsoft Corp, do not violate InterDigital Inc's patents for wireless phones, a U.S. International Trade Commission judge said in a preliminary ruling released on Friday.
The full commission is expected to issue a final ruling in October.
InterDigital shares plunged more than 10 percent on the ruling, and but they recovered somewhat and were down about 7.3 percent in late-afternoon U.S. trading.
GM says it will next month launch a new range of vehicles capable of connecting to the internet over the 4G network of AT&T.
Customers will be able to use services free of charge for a three-month period or up to a three-gigabyte limit, after which they can take out a data plan starting from $5 a month.
The 2015 Chevrolet Malibu is to the be the first LTE-equipped vehicle and will be followed by more than 30 other Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles by the end of the year, said the carmaker.
DigitalRoute and MetraTech have teamed up to help communications service providers with the monetization of next-generation services, including M2M and Intenet of Things (IoT) applications delivered over LTE networks.
The companies say they are already providing cloud-based metering, charging and billing services to a North America tier-one customer and aim to expand their offerings for other players as technologies like software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) gain traction.
M2M hardware player u-blox says its new 4G LTE module has been certified for use on the network of US telecoms giant Verizon Wireless.
The Swiss company says certification opens the door to the development of M2M services and applications that will function on one of the country's biggest 4G networks.
Customers will from now on be able to design the TOBY-L100 LTE module – as it is called – into devices operating on Verizon's (New York City, NY, USA) LTE system.
New Zealand operator 2degrees says it has kicked off a three-month trial of 4G technology with plans to introduce commercial services by July.
The operator – the smallest of New Zealand's three mobile players – is running an LTE trial at ten sites in central Auckland, using 1800MHz spectrum.
The aim is to launch commercial services in central Auckland by July before expanding into the wider Auckland area and the cities of Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch by the end of the year.
Historically, network infrastructure is the most expensive component in a mobile operator's overall CAPEX, which holds true in China, the biggest and fastest growing 4G market in the world.

WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J.--The University of Maine football team defeated Monmouth by the score of 31-23 on Saturday afternoon. With the win, Maine goes to 1-1 on the season while Monmouth falls to 0-2. The Black Bears were led by Jared Turcotte (Lewiston, Maine) who rushed for 144 yards and three touchdowns.
Maine got on the board first, when the Black Bears put together an eight play, 70-yard drive capped Turcotte three-yard score with 3:31 left to play in the first quarter
After a Monmouth field goal and touchdown, the Black Bears had the ball at their own 49-yard line with a little over four minutes left in the first half. On fourth-and-one, Turcotte spun around and broke two tackles in the backfield before busting through the right side 51 yards to put Maine up 14-10.
The Black Bear defense would limit Monmouth hold scoreless on their next drive to give Maine a 14-10 intermission lead.
Turcotte ran for 83 yards in the first half while Warren Smith (Forked River, N.J.) went 10-for-16 passing for 75 yards and no interceptions.
Jordan Waxman (Kitnersville, Pa.) added three punts inside the 20-yardline to help limit Monmouth's field position in the first stanza.
The Black Bears would get on the board early in the third quarter as Derek Session (Baltimore, Md.) would scamper 22 yards for the score. The touchdown was setup by a 40-yard pass by Smith to Session on the previous play.
Monmouth would answer to make it 21-17 Maine at the end of the third quarter, but a Brian Harvey 25-yard field goal would make it 24-17 Black Bears early in the fourth.
The Hawks answered with a field goal with nine minutes left in the game, and on the ensuing kickoff, did a squibb kick that ended up in the arms of Steven Barker (Teaneck, N.J.). Barker would run it back more than 60 yards to the Monmouth 18-yardline.
A couple of plays later, Turcotte would run it in from seven yards to give Maine a 31-20 lead with 7:30 left.
The Hawks scored on a field goal with just over three minutes left to cut the lead to 31-23.
Maine would get the ball back run out the clock to get the win.
Smith finished 17-for-26 for 194 yards with no interceptions while Session caught four passes for 78 yards.
Vinson Givans (Cambridge, Mass.) led a solid Black Bear defensive effort with seven tackles and three pass break-ups. Freshman Michael Cole (North Brunswick, N.J.) added two sacks.
Maine outgained Monmouth 433 yards to 334.
The Black Bears return to action on Saturday when they travel to take on Big East foe Syracuse at 7:15 p.m.

Plesetsk LC132
Plesetsk LC132
Associated Launch Vehicles
Kosmos 11K65M
Russian orbital launch vehicle. Definitive and prolific production version of satellite launcher based on Yangel R-14 IRBM. After further development at NPO Polyot (Omsk, Chief Designer A S Klinishkov), the modified Kosmos-3M added a restartable second stage with an orientation system. This booster was launched form two 'Cusovaya' launch complexes from 1967. The second stage used low thrust rockets using gas generator output to adjust the final velocity of the stage
Associated Launch Sites
Plesetsk was the Soviet Union's northern cosmodrome, used for polar orbit launches of mainly military satellites, and was at one time the busiest launch centre in the world. The collapse of the Soviet Union put the main launch site of Baikonur in Kazakh territory. It now seems that once the Proton rocket is retired, Baikonur will be abandoned and Plesetsk will be Russia's primary launch centre. Upgrades to existing launch facilities will allow advanced versions of the Soyuz rocket and the new Angara launch vehicle to be launched from Plesetsk. Plesetsk's major drawback was the lower net payload in geosynchronous orbit from a northern latitude launch site. However Russia is planning to remove the disadvantage by looping geosynchronous satellites around the moon, using lunar gravity to make the necessary orbital plane change.

Aesthetically pleasing? Hardly.
Nevertheless, the Green Bay Packers' first performance in two weeks produced an end result which was badly needed heading into the second quarter of their schedule: a victory.
Shaking off a lackluster first half, the green and gold, behind a balanced attack on both sides of the ball, upended the Detroit Lions, 22-9, Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field to get their record back to .500 (2-2).
Avoiding the first 1-3 start in the Mike McCarthy era, the Packers, who have now trumped Detroit a mind-boggling 23 consecutive times in the Dairy State, held the Lions, who were without all-world wide receiver Calvin Johnson due to a knee injury, to the their lowest point total since October 2012 while establishing a harmonic balance on offense—the bulk of which, however, was not seen until the second half.
While quarterback Aaron Rodgers accounted for 274 yards through the air and one touchdown, rookie running back Eddie Lacy, in his first action since suffering a concussion against the Redskins on Sept. 15, kept the Detroit defense honest as the former Alabama star churned out a career-best 99 yards on 23 carries.
Complimenting Lacy in the backfield was that of wide receiver Randall Cobb, the Packers' personal Swiss Army knife. In addition to amassing 35 yards receiving on four catches (headlined by a one-handed grab in the first period), the 5'10", 191-pound Cobb ran for 72 yards on two carries, including a 68-yard scamper with the Packers at the own 11-yard line midway through the third quarter.
The Lions (3-2), meanwhile, were a shell of themselves on offense without Johnson, who set an NFL record with 1,964 receiving yards this past season.
Entering the weekend averaging 30.5 points per game, Detroit, who is now 65-96-7 all time against the Packers, found the end zone only once (a 13-yard touchdown pass by Matthew Stafford to Kris Durham with 2:06 remaining) while accounting for 286 yards on offense, the first time this season in which Jim Schwartz's club has not registered at least 330 yards.
Following a first half in which the two squads combined for 251 total yards of offense; eight penalties; and zero touchdowns, the Packers, staking a 6-3 lead behind a pair of Mason Crosby field goals, scored on two of their first three possessions to open the third quarter, punctuated by an 83-yard touchdown pass from Rodgers to James Jones, who finished with a team-high 127 receiving yards, with 3:23 to play in the period.
While the Packers offense found a semblance of a rhythm over the game's final 30 minutes, the Lions, due in large part to a stout Green Bay defense, were unable to do likewise.
Stafford, who threw for 262 yards, was sacked five times while putting forth his second-worst passing performance from an accuracy standpoint (25-of-40) this year for the former Georgia Bulldog.
In turn, Reggie Bush, Detroit's dynamic change-of-pace running back, was limited to 44 yards rushing (on 13 carries) and 25 yards receiving, after averaging a shade less than 145 yards combined entering the contest against Green Bay.
A trio of Crosby field goals—the maligned kicker is now a perfect 9-for-9 on field goals this season—concluded the scoring on the afternoon for Green Bay as the Packers, coupled with a loss by the Bears to the Saints, pulled to within a half game of first place.
All told, the Packers and the 78,200 green-and-gold clad fans had ample reason to cheer again on Sunday afternoon.
For the good times to continue to keep rolling, though, the Packers will face a difficult test next week as they travel to Baltimore to take on Joe Flacco and the defending Super Bowl champion Ravens.
Kick off for the fifth meeting between the Packers and Ravens is slated for 12:00 p.m CT on Sunday, Oct. 3.
