Comcast's David Cohen: U.S. Broadband Is World ClassSays Companies Have Invested $1.2 Trillion in Past Couple of Decades 5/23/2013 12:23 PM Eastern
Comcast EVP David Cohen stood up tall for U.S. broadband Thursday (May 23), saying Americans "are getting world-class broadband from competing companies, and it's getting better every day."
He ascribed to parochial agendas the "running down" of U.S. broadband buildouts by some critics and members of the press who he said use "selective statistics" to back "unsupported hypothesis" that high-speed is not "first rate."
He was speaking at a Mayors' Innovation Summit in Philadelphia (Cohen was a top aide for former Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell).
Cohen cited the staggering figure tot $1.2 trillion he said the U.S. broadband industry has invested in less than two decades to build out broadband infrastructure. He pointed out that is more than the entire GDP of South Korea.
He said in Comcast's case, and the majority of other companies, that was all private capital. "We received no government subsidies or guaranteed loans," he said. Even in the recession beinning in 2007, broadband companies have spent $250 billion, he said.
That investment has translated into almost 2 million U.S. jobs and 11 broadband speed increases in 11 years in the case of Comcast, "generally with no price increase....About 82% of U.S. households already have access to speeds of 100 megabits or faster, [while] n Europe, that figure is about 2% today," he said, citing the New York Times.
Cohen had a "been there, doing that" answer to the current flurry of 1 gigabit broadband announcements by Google. "While we'll have a lot of fun today speculating about a what-if future of 1 Gigabit speeds," he said. "[T]he fact is: that future is already here for those who can use it."
Comcast first showcased its ability to deliver gigabit speeds two years ago, at the National Cable Show in Chicago—over the Comcast plant—well before anyone else was talking about it. And in the past year, we started offering our business customers speeds of up to 10 Gigs. Where there's a market for greater speeds, we are determined to meet the needs of that market, and our existing network can do that."
He also pointed out that DOCSIS 3.1, which he expected to start deploying in 2015, will be able to deliver several gigbits per second.

A post on CancerConnect.com shares the observance of National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in September.
Prostate cancer, as shared in the post, is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men, as well as one of the leading causes of cancer death among men. The observance of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month serves as a way to bring focus to the disease, and will hopefully lead to an increase in public understanding about prostate cancer.
As part of the observance, urologists at the Norwalk Hospital in Norwalk, Connecticut, will be giving free prostate cancer screenings, according to a feature on The Hour. The screening is sponsored by the Whittingham Cancer Center of Norwalk Hospital. Serving as coordinator for the event is Linda Versea, the administrative manager of the Whittingham Cancer Center.
The free screening, which has been scheduled for September 18 starting at 9 in the morning and lasting until noon, is for men between 40 to 75 years old, who is not under the care of a urologist or a primary care physician and does not have a history of prostate cancer, according to Dr. Jonathan Bernie, urologist and chief of robotic surgery. Two exams will be conducted: a digital rectal exam (DRE), and a prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test.
Dr. Peter Dodds, the chairman of the Norwalk Hospital Department of Surgery, shared that the free screening serves as a way of bringing awareness to the importance of regular prostate cancer screenings.

Why invest in a slate roof?
Natural stone has been used as a building material for thousands of years. It's been used for flooring walls, and even roofing. Today, natural stone such as slate is still a popular choice for roof shingles, and for good reason. A slate roof is a smart choice for homeowners for a number of reasons.
The many advantages of slate
Of all of the roofing materials to choose from, a slate roof will outlast them all. Not only can it outlive you, but it will most likely outlive your children and their children as well. Slate roofs typically last between 100 and 150 years. That's quite a long time compared to asphalt shingle roofs which might last 20-30 years. Slate's longevity is connected to its durability. Unlike other materials that will wear down over time as a result of hot and cold temperatures, strong wind, rain, and snow, slate is virtually impervious to all of these elements. You won't need to worry about mold, rot, or pests either if you invest in a slate roof. Because slate is so durable, it will require very little maintenance over the years.
Not only will a slate roof save you money by being easy to maintain, slate saves you money each month on your heating and cooling costs. That's because slate is an excellent insulator.
Slate is also a popular choice because of its appearance. Slate roofs can come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Slate gives your home a natural, and beautiful look that no other roofing material can duplicate. If you're looking for a material that will be both durable and aesthetically pleasing, then slate is a great choice.
Things to keep in mind
Remember that a slate roof will cost you more up front than most other roofing options. Making tiles out of slate is rather expensive and slate roofs are harder to install. If you have an older home, your roof deck may not even be able to support the weight of a slate roof without an extensive amount of work. But if you can handle the higher initial cost, your new slate roof will begin paying for itself right away. As with other roofing materials, not all slate tiles are created equally. Make sure your roofing contractor is using a high quality slate tile for your roof. While it might be tempting to save a little money by going with a cheaper material, it's unlikely you'll get as much life out of your new roof.

A majority of the D.C. Council on Tuesday signed on to legislation that would rein in a political action committee run by allies of Mayor Muriel E. Bowser.
Council members said a flood of more than $300,000 in contributions to the group in recent months, mostly by businesses seeking contracts with the city, threatened to corrupt a District government still reeling from an ongoing federal investigation into the last mayoral administration.
"Just what are we becoming here, Tammany Hall?" asked D.C. Council member Mary M. Cheh (D-Ward 3), who introduced the measure with David A. Grosso (I-At Large).
The legislation would close a loophole in city election law that allows a PAC to accept contributions of unlimited size during years in which the group is not actively working to elect a candidate. Ben Soto, treasurer of the pro-Bowser PAC and the mayor's former campaign treasurer, told The Washington Post last week that he was beginning a fundraising drive to fill the PAC's bank account with $1 million by the end of the year.

The "Something New" singer also said she's well aware of the backlash she may receive from haters for speaking her mind, but she welcomes it all.
"Well, that's gonna happen regardless," she said. "In many ways, if you don't have haters, you're not doing your job. You gotta have people to hate on you. That's the best part!"

Holiday gatherings are here and if you are like me, I love to visit with relatives and friends. But I dont care about flying.
Although preparing yourself for the flight and all the anxiety associated with times, schedules, security and the weather (remember we are here in Minnesota and snow and icy conditions make for not such fun when flying!!) anyway, you get the picture.
Your nerves are frazzled! First off you can try to be as prepared as much as the situation will allow. The rest you might want to try using a few essential oils to help calm your nerves from within.
Ideally, you should try to find essential oils or blends that you know will help you to relax and feel calm.
Everyone has their favorites dont you? If not, you might want to try a few different essential oils. Lavender, of course, might be all you need.
One of our customers swears by Neroli. Whenever she feels in a panic or anxiety she takes a whiff of her nasal inhaler she carries with her at all times. She never knows when something will trigger her distress so she learned a while ago to have it with her at all times.
Again, ideally, finding out an essential oil or two that will help you relax prior to taking flight is more beneficial.
Your Lock and Key mechanism will engage and bring you more easily to a state of calmness. Especially since you will know what oils help you to relax and remain calm.
This is a mind association where the scent reminds you of times when you are relaxed and at ease. Choosing oils that can help with anxiety, fear, panic or nervousness can be tried. Just by experimenting you may find a new blend to use to help you with the problems of flying.
You might want to try our Calming or Relaxing blends. Or search our Recipe Files for more calming and relaxing blends that may appeal to you. Rose and other floral scents might be your oils of choice.
Our ANXIETY STOP BLEND, which is a blend of several of the wonderful floral essential oils, has been found by many to be the only thing that has worked.
Here is a new recipe for you to try.
Try this very simple blend to beat the:
Bergamot 20 drops
Lavender 15 drops
Basil 5 drops
Neroli 1 drop
Rose Absolute -1 drop
Blend all in a glass bottle and then put several drops in a personal inhaler.
Also prior to flying while you are relaxing in the evening, reading a book or watching television diffuse this in the room. You are setting up the Lock and Key mechanism so when you get on the plane later on, you will be easily be brought back to a more relaxed setting.
Just before you get on the plane be sure to take a few inhalations of this blend or any other one of your choice. Maybe this time flying to see relatives and friends can be a much more pleasant experience.

The Secondary Products Revolution: Empirical Evidence and its Current Zooarchaeological Critique
- First Online:
- Citations
- 4.3k Downloads
Andrew Sherratt is perhaps best known for the concept of a 'Secondary Products Revolution', which stressed that the 'primary' pattern of exploiting domesticated animals for meat in the Early Neolithic was followed by a more diversified exploitation of secondary applications and products such as milk, wool, textiles, and traction. This paper discusses how changes in animal exploitation in the European Neolithic, including secondary uses and products, can be inferred from faunal remains. It also challenges a meat-based, livestock-rearing system for early farmers and stresses the idiosyncratic nature of the introduction of secondary products in particular areas of Anatolia and Europe.
KeywordsSecondary products revolution Neolithic Faunal remains Cattle
Andrew Sherratt is perhaps best known for the concept of a 'Secondary Products Revolution', a term which he coined in 1981. The Secondary Products Revolution was primarily a phenomenon of the Old World. Sherratt stressed that domestic animals were initially used for meat rather than any of their other uses. This mode of exploitation was later replaced by a more diversified exploitation for their secondary products, such as milk, wool and textiles, and applications, such as traction power or transport. Primary animal products are defined as those which can be extracted only once in the lifetime of the animal, upon its death, and include meat, hide, blood and bone. By contrast, secondary animal products can be exploited without slaughtering animals, and the same animal can be repeatedly exploited in the course of its lifetime (Greenfield 2005, 2010).
Sherratt argued that exploitation of secondary products appeared long after animal domestication, and that it should be considered as a consequence, not a cause, of the domestication. These products became a significant commodity long after their introduction, which was believed to mark a significant shift in the economic development of Neolithic farmers, increasing both productivity and mobility, and making possible the occupation of a range of diverse environments (Sherratt 1994). In particular, milking was arguably a highly efficient mode of animal exploitation, while the plough extended considerably the area under cultivation.
These changes marked a new phase of human–animal relationships. In his original publications, Sherratt (1981, 1983) argued that the Secondary Products Revolution phenomenon was similar to the spread of the Neolithic, as they both spread out from the Near East. He also considered the characteristics of these innovations, since some of them (wool, ploughing), may have had some sort of ceremonial significance.
In both publications, Sherratt explicitly discussed a range of empirical evidence that enabled recognition of the exploitation of animals for secondary products such as traction, milk, and wool. There was surprisingly little use of faunal remains in these studies, largely due to the dearth of zooarchaeological evidence at the time. When available, it was published in a very simplistic way and merely provided simple species lists, numbers of specimens and other simplistic quantitative measures. This was clearly an unsatisfactory format for verifying a hypothesis of this nature. Consequently, this evidence was largely ignored or used only very superficially.
This article will first discuss the empirical foundations of the Secondary Products Revolution as advocated by Sherratt himself, including the application of animal bone assemblages. The paper will then spatially and chronologically contextualize the Secondary Products Revolution phenomenon in light of the results of fine-grained studies of faunal assemblages in three important areas of the Neolithic occupation: Central Anatolia, the Central Balkans, and the central part of the North European Plain. Methods applied in these studies range from the now classic analysis of mortality profiles through species and body part representation, taphonomy, and horizontal distribution of faunal remains in relation to other categories of archaeological data. These multiple lines of evidence are applied to contextually different features/parts of the studied settlements.
These new discoveries make it possible to look at the evolution of human–animal relations in general, as well as the introduction and intensification of secondary products in particular, in these three different regions from hitherto unexplored perspectives. In all three regions, the data collected spans a broad temporal range from the beginning of animal domestication until after secondary products are thought to have been adopted.
The changing nature of human–animal relationships is to be explored at three different scales, crosscutting the original framework advocated by Sherratt. It may be investigated at the micro scale of a single site, as well-attested from the new project at Çatalhöyük in the Central Anatolian Neolithic (see e.g. Russell and Martin 2005; Russell and Meece 2006). Multiple lines of evidence, based upon a range of faunal analysis methods, were applied here, in addition to abundant iconographic, art and architectural evidence. The Central Balkans Neolithic and Post-Neolithic, well researched by Haskel Greenfield (e.g. 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 2005), can serve as an example of microregional scale, focusing upon topographic variability. The author explicitly aimed to test the hypothesis that new production strategies were introduced into Europe at the advent of the Post-Neolithic. Data from both upland and lowland sites from each period were included so that both temporal and spatial variability could be controlled. The macroscale of large geographical zones comprises another dimension of analysis. The point of departure for the North European Plain is my own extensive work, mostly in the Kujavia and Wielkopolska regions (e.g. Marciniak 2005, 2008a, b). Human–animals relations were studied in detail, using a wide range of methods, in the areas occupied by early farmers from the onset of their presence in the region, as well as those colonised by local groups in subsequent periods.
Empirical Evidence Supporting Sherratt's Model
Interestingly, most arguments on the origins of secondary products' exploitation in the initial publication (Sherratt 1981) ignored animal bone assemblages, which appear to be the most relevant data category here. Not a single faunal argument was advocated. This changed in subsequent articles aimed at elaborating the model (e.g. Sherratt 1983). However, it needs to be stressed that a majority of the faunal data from these regions in the period of Sherratt's early publications was available in the form of species lists and species frequencies only. Age-class data for building harvest or mortality profiles had hardly been collected.
The most significant heuristic value in Sherratt's (1983) first attempt to use faunal remains was ascribed to mortality profiles (kill-off patterns). Their interpretation was directly based upon Payne's well-known model (Payne 1973), formulated for modern Anatolian Aşvan and proposing mortality profiles for different types of sheep exploitation. For meat, the optimal culling period, mostly for males, is between one and a half and two and a half years. In the case of wool production, there is a roughly symmetrical distribution of males and females, with most kept up to 6 years and beyond. Milk production is marked by presence of at least half of the female animals beyond 5 years. Contrary to earlier opinion, it is not feasible to have a significant contribution of young calves to a harvest profile diagnostic for milk production, because in primitive breeds the presence of the calf is required for its mother to let down milk (Sherratt 1997, p. 206; see McCormick 1992). Animals used for traction were castrated at the age of 3–4 years and would be trained as draught-animals when fully-grown. Hence, a large number of old males is expected to be represented in the animal bone assemblage. Following this frame of reference, Sherratt (1983) simply assumed that a large proportion of adult sheep would reflect the use of wool or milk, with a predominance of females indicative of the use of milk, and balanced gender indicative of wool.
Current Zooarchaeological Critique of the Model
Central Anatolia
It is possible to address the Secondary Products Revolution hypothesis in Central Anatolia from the Neolithic and the beginnings of the Chalcolithic, thanks to a new project at Çatalhöyük. The analysis is still under way, but already available results make it possible to formulate some conclusions. Multiple lines of evidence, many of them based upon a range of faunal analysis methods (including mortality profiles, body part distribution and spatial distribution or taphonomy) were applied at the site.
As is well attested at Çatalhöyük and other Anatolian Neolithic settlements, cattle were clearly of considerable sacred and symbolic importance (e.g. Mellaart 1967; Hodder 1990). The most spectacular and well-known evidence of cattle's special significance are plastered bucrania, with inset horns, as well as cattle horns set into benches and pillars (Mellaart 1964, 1967). This indicates that the first contact with domesticated cattle was very complicated and heavily involved factors of a social and ideological nature. Hodder (1990, p. 35) claims that cattle were first symbolically domesticated and only later acquired their economic significance. This was supposedly achieved through the practice of bringing the cattle into the house and controlling them within various 'cattle cults'.
This is indicated by a disproportionately high representation at Çatalhöyük of horn cores and scapulae, which are deliberately incorporated into platforms and walls as well as placed in houses at abandonment (Russell and Meece 2006). Both of these body parts arguably had strong symbolic and ceremonial value, associated with their consumption (Russell and Martin 2005). Additionally, other cattle remains, less processed than remains of other animals, that appear to be portions derived from feasts have been placed in various contexts, such as house floors or in areas between adjacent walls.
Analysis of cattle kill-off patterns in the Early Neolithic levels of the East Mound reveals a peak in the adult stage, but there are nearly as many infants and juveniles, which does not conform to expected cull patterns for meat. The age as well as sex data suggests that bulls were selected for feasts and ceremonies. Females form approximately half the bones from the contexts related to everyday consumption, but comprise only a third from other categories of deposit, including ceremonial settings. Considering that feasting deposits often contain a substantial number of everyday remains, the contribution of males to ceremonial consumption was probably even greater (Russell and Martin 2005). This is further corroborated by the results of stable isotope analysis. These indicate that cattle made only a negligible contribution to the diet of the tell inhabitants (Richards et al. 2003).
Use of ovicaprids among site inhabitants in the Early Neolithic was significantly different to use of cattle. Sheep/goat bones are the most abundant faunal remains from Çatalhöyük and are found in middens and fills used as a primary location for dumping consumption debris. This may indicate that the animals were used for ordinary food consumption.
This is also supported by analysis revealing a fairly even ovicaprid body-part distribution subjected to attritional processes. Filleting cuts are considerably more frequent than dismemberment cuts, and also more frequent than in cattle (see Greenfield analysis in Czerniak and Marciniak 2009). It appears that meat may have been more often filleted off the bone and cooked in smaller pieces, while larger animals, in particular cattle, may have been cooked in larger pieces still on the bone (Russell and Martin 2005).
The age distribution of sheep/goat is very different from that of the cattle and further underlines the dissimilarity of the cattle kill-off pattern to that of herded animals. The sheep/goat age and sex data in both early and late levels appear to show typical management of sheep and goats for meat and herd reproduction. Most animals were culled as juveniles and subadults, the optimal age for meat yield. Far fewer survived to be older adults, which would require pasturing and constitute the breeding stock. This mortality profile does not, however, suggest the intensive use of dairy products or wool. One has to bear in mind that sheep were unlikely to have been woolly in this period. This is further corroborated by the results of stable isotope analysis indicating sheep as the main source of animal proteins.
Changes in human–animal relationships have been identified in the latest Neolithic levels of occupation at Çatalhöyük East. The distinctive pattern of cattle and sheep/goat consumption underwent considerable transformations. As regards species composition, whereas Early Neolithic levels assemblages consistently include approximately 65–70% caprines and 20–25% cattle (Russell and Martin 2005), from Level V on it appears that caprines provide more than 80% of the remains and cattle only some 10% (Twiss et al. 2005). This is a significant shift, considering how little proportions change in the Early Neolithic levels.
Special treatment of cattle, as manifested in the high representation of horn cores and scapulae, is significantly less common in later levels. No plastered bucrania are recorded from these phases of the East Mound occupation. A significant change is detected in age distribution of cattle. There are more females and more subadults, which appears to indicate a genuine shift, at least in some parts of the site. This might imply changes in herding practices and a switch to use of dairy products. However, considering that this is a small sample coming from a single area, this shift may be indicative of only part of the herding strategy at that point (Twiss et al.2005).
Pigs occur in small numbers throughout the Çatalhöyük sequence. The mortality profiles show a large number of infants and juveniles, and fewer adults than in the cattle, although these observations are difficult to interpret given the small sample size.
Considerable changes in human–animal relationships at the end of the Neolithic at Çatalhöyük are but one element of the substantial transformations in many domains among local communities in Central Anatolia. These are manifested in settlement pattern in the region, including relationships between contemporaneous settlements and smaller sites; spatial organisation at settlements; internal house plans; burial practices; 'art'; exploitation of resources; subsistence; and pottery and chipped stone production. The increased autonomy of individual households was based on an integrated economy with economically efficient livestock husbandry (see Marciniak and Czerniak 2007; Marciniak 2008a).
This triggered a range of economy-based transformations with far-reaching consequences that culminated in the rapid dispersal of farming groups throughout Anatolia and Europe. It is only in the Late Neolithic that local farming groups emerged as strong and independent entities, both in the region and beyond. Hence, I would argue that the foundations of the Secondary Products Revolution were already laid down in the Late Neolithic in Central Anatolia, and the revolutionary changes they triggered became a backbone of transformations of local communities leading to the emergence of fully-fledged farming.
The Central Balkans
Haskel Greenfield systematically used faunal data to test Sherratt's hypothesis about the introduction of secondary products in later phases of the Neolithic. It was based upon analysis of a range of Early Neolithic, Late Neolithic and Post-Neolithic settlements in the Central Balkans, dated to the period between 4500 and 1000 BC (Greenfield 1988, 2005).
Greenfield (1988, p. 578) expected that secondary product exploitation of domestic animals should be reflected in a relative increase of species yielding secondary products (cattle, sheep, goats) and decrease of pigs. Furthermore, he focused upon age distribution and adopted an explicit interpretation of mortality profiles (1988, p. 574). He divided them into three major categories—very immature (less than 1 year), subadult (1–3 years, or in cattle 1–4 years), and adult—which comprise three major developmental stages recognizable zooarchaeologically. In a manner similar to Sherratt's (1983) original approach, their frequency was interpreted within the contemporaneous and ethnoarchaeologically-recognized culling patterns indicative of different production profiles, as revealed by the models of Payne (1973), and to a lesser degree Cribb (1984). An increased emphasis on very young cattle and ovicaprines is indicative of milk production, while an increased emphasis on the proportion of adult sheep implies wool production, and adult cattle indicate traction. Harvest profiles for pigs should remain unchanged (see also Greenfield 2005, p. 19).
The Neolithic harvest profiles for domestic cattle are characterized by little culling of the youngest age cohort, followed by a significant culling rate at 8–18 and 18–30 months, followed by rapid decline. These profiles do not closely match the expected pattern for herds exploited for their primary products, as implied by the absence of the youngest individuals. Hence, these results rule out a specialized meat exploitation of cattle in the Neolithic in the region (Greenfield 2005, p. 28).
Just as with cattle, the harvest profiles from the ovicaprine data—mostly sheep—indicate a shift over time. In the Neolithic (particularly in its early phase), they closely resemble a kill-off pattern indicative of herd exploitation for primary products or meat production. This can be discerned from a high mortality rate through the first year that declines in the following age categories. Post-Neolithic ovicaprine exploitation was considerably different. Some settlements seem to emphasize a more wool-like model, while the profile in others is more reminiscent of the milk model. It is interesting that neither of these post-Neolithic mortality profiles comes close to the primary products (meat) model, unlike that of the Neolithic. However, the profiles do not match any of the specialized herd production models either. They imply a mixed subsistence economy with a significant contribution of herd exploitation focused upon a combination of primary and secondary products. In general, the available evidence implies a lack of any kind of specialized secondary products exploitation of ovicaprines in the Eneolithic or Bronze Age (Greenfield 2005, pp. 27–28).
As predicted, the harvest profiles for pig at all sites and periods are most similar to Payne's meat production profile, and change only slightly over time. They show a high mortality of animals at 2–7 months and 27–36 months, with very few surviving to adulthood (Greenfield 2005, p. 23). This implies a continuous and unchanged exploitation of pigs throughout the Neolithic and beyond.
As regards species composition, rather than increasing in importance—as might be expected in view of their increasing role in milk production and traction—cattle decreased in importance. At the same time, the number of ovicaprids increased in importance over time, while the relative importance of pigs remains unchanged. These observations are again somewhat in contrast to the expectations of the Secondary Products Revolution hypothesis (Sherratt 1981, 1983). The rising importance of secondary products exploitation would arguably result in expansion in the use of secondary-product livestock (dairy cattle, wool-sheep, horses) and decreased representation of species for primary products (pig).
The results of faunal studies in the Central Balkans were not straightforward. Both primary and secondary products became important during the post-Neolithic, implying a shift towards greater diversification in animal production strategies in the entire region. A shift to secondary products is far from direct and straightforward and indicates varying herding practices. Clearer evidence of exploitation of secondary products appears earlier in the case of cattle, and coincides with evidence based upon artefacts (e.g. Eneolithic wagons). Furthermore, the changes in the post-Neolithic were consistently segregated by environment, which has been interpreted to imply the advent of transhumant pastoralism in the region (Greenfield 1988, 1989, 1999). There is no evidence for the emergence of specialized economy until much later (the Iron Age). The most significant shift in the mortality profiles occurred in the Eneolithic and the Early Bronze Age (Greenfield 2005, p. 28).
The North European Plain
Recent detailed studies of animal bone remains and their archaeological context from the Early and Middle Neolithic settlements of the Polish part of the North European Plain revealed striking differences in human–animal relationships, as well as their transformations over time in terms of the use of cattle, sheep/goat and pigs. Multiple lines of evidence were applied in contextually different features/parts of the settlement, and comprise body-part representation, species composition, taphonomy, and horizontal distribution of faunal remains in relation to other categories of archaeological data (Marciniak 2005).
Cattle bones are the most abundant faunal remains in the Early Neolithic of Central Europe. Body-part representation is characterized by a deliberate selection of certain anatomical segments, in particular skulls, scapulae, and axial segments, and a marked avoidance of their limbs. Taphonomic analysis implies a very peculiar method of cattle-marrow consumption. The bones were first roasted, then broken and the cooked marrow consumed. This kind of marrow consumption appears to have been a common and distinctive culinary practice of the early lowland farmers.
The eating of cattle meat and marrow was clearly regarded as appropriate in one social context and inappropriate in another. It is indicated by the deposition of cattle bones at specific locales at the settlement, particularly in the space between longhouses, almost exclusively in so-called loam pits. They do not appear in other types of pits used at these settlements. The small degree of fragmentation of these bones, taken together with the peculiar body part representation, may indicate that cattle were used in communal ceremonial consumption, which was performed in a very standardized and repeatable manner over a long period of time.
Early Neolithic farmers in the North European Plain perceived and used sheep/goats and cattle in different ways. This is particularly evident in differences in anatomical part distribution, represented by a variable composition of all anatomical parts. This implies that all of them were eaten. Ovicaprids were used as a source of meat and were consumed in an apparently ordinary fashion. Interestingly, their marrow, albeit not roasted, was also consumed on a daily basis. In contrast to cattle consumption, it took place in the house and/or directly around the house.
The small number of pig bones makes it difficult to discern rules of pig treatment in more detail. However, the fragmentary evidence available seems to imply that pigs were also an important element in feasting, and pork was not consumed on a daily basis. This is indicated by a pig anatomical body-part distribution that is very similar to, sometimes identical with, that of cattle.
The Middle Neolithic brought about considerable and multiscalar changes in relations between people and domesticated animals. The relations in early farming centres (such as Kujavia) were different from those in newly occupied areas (such as the Wielkopolska region). The overall picture of consumption among local communities in the traditional farming regions is far more diverse than either among their Early Neolithic predecessors, or in the newly settled regions. This high level of variability and diversity stands in firm contrast to the Early Neolithic pattern, in term both of differences between particular species and of differences at particular settlements.
The social and ceremonial importance of cattle continued in the Middle Neolithic, but it was manifested in a different way and in different settings, in the increasingly popular rituals and ritual feasting organized at the regional level (Marciniak 2008b), as well as in the form of cattle graves (Barker 1985, p. 150). This seems to represent a transformation in the significance of cattle, which began in the Early Neolithic.
A new component in this period was the appearance of the economically more efficient exploitation of cattle and sheep/goats at individual farmsteads. This is indicated by a positive and significant correlation of the bones of these two species with utility indices. It probably also involved their use for secondary products—milking, wool and traction. The steady decline in pigs' significance from the Linear Band Pottery Culture through Lengyel and then the Funnel Beaker Culture is reported both in the North European Plain and in the uplands zone. The importance of pigs seems to have decreased also at the microscale in the course of the occupation of some Funnel Beaker Culture settlements, such as Ćmielów and Kamień Łukawski (Krysiak and Lasota 1971, p. 200). The practice of cattle marrow eating, very common in the Early Neolithic, was significantly less popular. In particular, cooked and roasted marrow was not commonly eaten. As in the Central Balkans, this new pattern was far from being any kind of specialized economy, and the introduction of secondary products was idiosyncratic and highly diverse, with different aspects dominating in subsequent settings.
This process was intertwined with transformations in the social domain, which began in the Middle Neolithic, with the emergence of the household as a new social entity. This contributed to the replacement of the social and symbolic significance of animals—in particular cattle—in the domestic domain (characteristic of the Early Neolithic) with their economically more efficient exploitation (indicative of the Middle Neolithic). This set of transformations helped to increase the efficiency of economic activities. Consequently, local groups were characterized by a more practical style of life, largely disassociated from the symbolic and social domain that had hampered change in the preceding period. This in turn facilitated a large scale expansion of these communities to hitherto unoccupied areas.
Discussion and Conclusions
The Secondary Products Revolution hypothesis rightly drew attention to a significant change in the relations between humans and animals that occurred in the course of the Neolithic. However, in recent years a range of studies in various regions of Anatolia and Europe has placed Andrew Sherratt's concept in a different perspective and allowed a more fine-grained view of this 'revolution' and its mechanisms. There is no doubt that we are dealing with a considerable transformation in this domain in all regions, including Central Anatolia, the Central Balkans and the North European Plain. While it revolutionized the Neolithic world, the nature of this significant change was clearly more complex than Sherratt suggests (1981, 1983). Irrespective of the details of regional chronological schemes in these regions, this process was an element in the local developmental trajectories of agrarian communities following the demise/disintegration of the Early Neolithic arrangements. Parallel developments by no means imply any kind of universal rule or pattern, which would always need be contextualized with reference to the historical, social, and cultural embeddedness of regional developments. Considering the wide span of the Neolithic dispersal across Anatolia and Europe, the changes that might be linked with the Secondary Products Revolution are by no means associated with a single century or millennium. On the contrary, they emerged in different periods, ranging from the second half of the seventh millennium cal BC in Central Anatolia to the first half of the fourth millennium cal BC in the Central Balkans and in the North European Plain.
Available evidence for the range of secondary uses and products is varied and their heuristic potential uneven. Hence, it is necessary to rely upon several lines of evidence to capture these idiosyncratic relations. As regards application of faunal studies, Sherratt based his original analysis upon mortality profiles insignificantly supplemented by species composition. This approach was later contextualized by Greenfield (1988), taking into account the impact of a range of depositional processes (i.e. taphonomy). As harvest profiles are not the most reliable method, analysis of discrepancies between expected and observed frequencies may lead to misleading results. There is also a problem of equifinality, as it proved very difficult to separate out the advent of the use of domestic animals for milk, wool, and traction simply on the basis of slaughter age profiles (Greenfield 2005, p. 28). However, a set of new methods of faunal studies, such as body part representation, taphonomy, spatial distribution and others, considerably increase our ability to study human–animal relationships. They also highlight the need to depart from the Payne model that dominated the study of the Secondary Products Revolution hypothesis in previous decades. At the same time, the absence of a standardized approach and associated methods in Anatolia and Europe makes it difficult to undertake any systematic comparison of all variables of potential significance for testing this hypothesis.
The first period of the Neolithic was characterized by steady and uninterrupted development with a high degree of similarity in human–animal relations, as well as numerous other domains that cannot be presented in this short paper (see Marciniak 2008a). The early use of cattle cannot be simply equated with meat-focused exploitation. It was certainly an appropriate resource in feasting, and provided food used during ceremonial practices (see Thomas 1999, p. 74). Interestingly, this special treatment of cattle is discernible across other geographical regions, from the Near East (e.g. Akkermans and Schwartz 2003, p. 75) to the British Isles (Edmonds 1999, p. 28). As a result, in both Çatalhöyük and the North European Plain, we encounter unbalanced distribution of body parts, manifested by large representations of skull and scapulae bones. In contrast, sheep/goats have a fairly even body part distribution. Their harvest profiles in the Early Neolithic closely resemble a pattern indicative of the exploitation of the herd for primary products or meat production.
With much more efficient research methods in place, we may try to capture the changing nature of human–animal relations following the abandonment of the stable world of early farmer cultures in all regions. The multiscalar changes cannot be explained without understanding the significant social transformations that occurred in this period. These involved, in particular, the demise of communal organization in early farming groups, as represented by the clustered neighbourhood in Central Anatolia (see Düring and Marciniak 2006). The significance of communal arrangements in the Central Balkans was replaced in the fifth millennium BC by an increasing focus on the household as the primary unit of social and economic organization (Tringham et al. 1985, p. 427; Bailey 2000, p. 165). Communal identity—the predominant social arrangement for the Early Neolithic egalitarian communities inhabiting the North European Plain (Milisauskas 1986, pp. 215–218)—was also abandoned and replaced by the household (Marciniak 2008a). A number of co-existing communities were formed at the regional level, bound within intense communication networks. Social changes took the form of small scale modifications and transformations of the early farming tradition. The social transformation was uneven and highly localized, and its dynamics varied both spatially and temporally.
The disassociation of animals, in particular cattle, from the ceremonial and social domains, so characteristic for this earlier period, proved to be a prerequisite for the dynamic expansion of the post-Early Neolithic communities, and had far reaching consequences for the whole economy. One has to agree with Sherratt that in the post-Early Neolithic period, we are dealing with a balanced crop–livestock husbandry (Sherratt 1981, p. 190). This is associated with a dynamic development of these communities and their spread into previously uninhabited areas. The small mobile groups formed in this period became the driving force of the intensified farming colonization of vast territories.
Further changes in cattle use in all three regions were highly diverse and certainly not in accord with the specialized use of any of the secondary products. In any case, available evidence from all three regions challenges a meat-based livestock-rearing system of Early Neolithic farming. At the same time, transformations in ovicaprid exploitation imply changes in herding practices and a switch to more specialized use of dairy products, and possibly also wool, as indicated by evident changes in the harvest profiles. This is, however, a far distance from specialized milk or wool production. Local groups practised a highly variable and diverse mode of consumption compared to their Early Neolithic predecessors.
The implication of these observations is that the exploitation of secondary products may have evolved following a decline of very specific human–animal relations that were characteristic of the first stages of the Neolithic. The use of secondary products was a later, rather than earlier, innovation. They can be traced back to the period following the demise of the Early Neolithic mode of living in various parts of the Old World. They appear as part of the shift to complex societies and were part of the package of features accompanying their development. Their scope and character was clearly diverse in different regions. We are only beginning to understand the nature of these complex and multiscalar transformations. Sherratt's model will continue to stimulate many new investigations in the years to come.

(Photo: Business Wire)The two companies are currently in pilot-phase for an opt-in service that will enable card transactions for users only when they have their mobile device switched on in a specific geolocation abroad. This service aims to reduce consumers' frustrations associated with having their payment cards used without their knowledge or having their own transactions unnecessarily declined when trying to make purchases in another country. Financial institutions will also have an additional tool that will help them make more effective decisions when approving or declining a transaction on behalf of their customers. In addition, mobile users could also have a choice of prepaid data packages that they can purchase directly from their phones when they arrive in their destination country. Approximately 75 million mobile phone users travel outside their home country each month, yet today 70 percent of people switch their mobile data function off when they arrive, which is likely in an effort to avoid roaming charges. Mobile network operators and brands can also benefit from the collaboration between MasterCard and Syniverse. In the future, they could implement targeted offers, which will be made more relevant by knowing the location of a mobile device, for example in close proximity to a retail store. A research report for Syniverse from economists at SEEC uncovered a market valued of as much as $44 billion for operators providing services to brands based on opted-in mobile subscribers' information, behavior and location – known as mobile context. News of the collaboration was announced at Mobile World Congress during today's " Mobile Retail: The One Stop Shop" session, which included Joe DiFonzo, Chief Technology Officer, Syniverse, and Hany Fam, President, Global Strategic Alliances, MasterCard. Additional speakers at the session included Rainer Deutschmann, Senior Vice President, Mobile Products, Deutsche Telekom; Gibu Thomas, Senior Vice President, Mobile and Digital, Walmart; and Greg Baxter, Global Head, Mobile and Digital Strategy, Citi. With nearly 2 billion MasterCard cards in circulation, the world's most advanced payments technology company is processing 65,000 transactions every minute, while Syniverse currently reaches more than 5 billion mobile devices globally via 1,000 mobile service providers.

Kobe scores 33 in Lakers' latest win over Wolves
By GREG BEACHAM
Posted Mar 01 2013 2:21AM
LOS ANGELES (AP) Starting with Kobe Bryant's soaring dunk over Nikola Pekovic on their second possession, the Los Angeles Lakers jumped to a big lead against a woeful opponent and never fumbled it away while moving to the brink of a .500 record.
After the Lakers' tumultuous season, such simple achievements qualify as serious progress toward a playoff spot.
Bryant scored 33 points and Antawn Jamison added 17 in the Lakers' 21st consecutive victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, 116-94 on Thursday night.
The Lakers (29-30) have won 12 of 17 and five of seven while moving within two games of Houston for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference with their longest stretch of solid play this year. They're getting steady leadership from Bryant, who has reasserted himself as a scorer after working as a setup man for several weeks.
"I've been in attack mode since the break. It's go time," Bryant said. "We're getting a little closer, and we're starting to get in more of a striking distance where you start watching (the playoff race)."
Bryant and Jodie Meeks each hit four of Los Angeles' 16 3-pointers, and Meeks finished with 16 points. Bryant had 22 points in a strong first half for the Lakers, focused on scoring while the Timberwolves overcompensated defensively for the low-post absence of Andrei Kirilenko, who has a strained right calf, and Pekovic, who left early with an abdominal strain.
Frequently guarded by Los Angeles native Derrick Williams, Bryant catalyzed a solid all-around game by the Lakers, who finally appeared to become a cohesive team in February. Bryant and Steve Nash sat out the fourth quarter for the Lakers, who will have a chance to get back to .500 for the first time since Dec. 28 when they host Atlanta on Sunday night.
"We've had enough time together where we've turned a corner and we're making improvement instead of continually taking steps back," said Nash, who had 10 points and seven assists. "I think that improvement has been a long time coming, but it's only the beginning. We really need to continue to improve."
J.J. Barea scored 20 points and Luke Ridnour added 19 for the short-handed Timberwolves, who have lost four straight and 20 of 24. Ricky Rubio had 13 points, 13 assists and eight rebounds, but thanks to its latest injury woes, Minnesota never threated to get its first road win over the Lakers since Dec. 2, 2005.
"It's been horrendous. I've never seen anything like this," Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman said. "And it's not just getting injuries, but when the guys do start trickling back, they haven't played together, so we've got no rhythm as a team. We're just trying to fit people in. It's been really frustrating, but I give our guys credit. They're still trying to fight through it. After a while, it gets really old, but the schedule doesn't stop. You've got to keep playing."
Los Angeles' mastery of Minnesota is the NBA's longest active winning streak in any matchup. The Lakers never trailed the undermanned Wolves in the latest meeting, cruising to their 13th straight home win over Minnesota.
The Lakers haven't lost to Minnesota since March 6, 2007.
Starting with Bryant's poster-worthy slam over Pekovic, the fifth-leading scorer in NBA history played the entire half with particular fire. Los Angeles' veteran legs appeared rejuvenated by two days off, and the Lakers took a 10-point halftime lead on nearly 53 percent shooting with eight 3-pointers.
"Man, it's tough. I don't think anybody in here has ever lost like this before," Williams said. "I mean, we've had only nine or 10 players all season, and it takes a toll on you every single night - especially against the Lakers, who have a couple of guys that come off the bench who could start on a lot of teams in the NBA."
Barea kept Minnesota close with 13 points on a series of strong drives to the hoop, but the Wolves' lack of inside depth was obvious. Rubio also responded well to his benching late in Tuesday's overtime loss at Phoenix.
NOTES: Los Angeles finished one 3-pointer shy of tying its franchise record for a regulation game, most recently matched Nov. 30 against Denver. ...

Mired in a disappointing season, the Los Angeles Lakers have been resurgent of late. But they've still showed they have a thin margin for error, particularly with turnovers and free-throw shooting.
That margin may be a little wider than usual Thursday night when they try to extend their run of 20 straight wins over the struggling Minnesota Timberwolves - the longest active streak in the NBA.
The Lakers are 28-30, but their recent 11-5 stretch has been a step in the right direction for a team whose season would be a total disappointment without a playoff appearance.
However, two areas continue to plague them. Los Angeles' 15.3 turnovers per game rank near the bottom of the league, while its 69.0 percentage from the free-throw line is last.
Both issues reared their heads in a 119-108 loss at Denver on Monday. The Lakers committed 12 of their 15 turnovers before halftime, leading to a 13-point deficit, and hit just 14 of 31 free throws.
Dwight Howard, shooting a career-worst 48.5 percent from the line, was 3 of 14.
"We missed 17 free throws and you get beat by 11, you can do the math. And it doesn't add up," coach Mike D'Antoni told the NBA's official website. "You can't go 14 for 31 from the line and turn it over on the road and expect to win."
Kobe Bryant was assessed a technical foul on his way to the locker room at halftime, though it was rescinded Tuesday. Still, Bryant's 13 technicals lead the league, and three more will result in an automatic one-game suspension.
"I'm not concerned," said Bryant, averaging 27.0 points over his last nine games against Minnesota.
The Timberwolves (20-34) have looked lost for most of the season and continue to nosedive in the standings as they struggle with injuries.
Kevin Love, Chase Budinger and Brandon Roy are already out, and Minnesota could be without Andrei Kirilenko yet again.
Kirilenko limped off in the first quarter of Tuesday's 84-83 overtime loss at Phoenix after he strained his left calf. Kirilenko, who has played in the last four games after missing the previous five with a strained right quadriceps, is listed as questionable for Thursday.
Minnesota buried itself with another poor shooting performance against the Suns, hitting only 34.4 percent for its 13th sub-40.0 percent shooting game. The Timberwolves have been particularly bad from 3-point range, shooting an NBA-worst 30.0 percent.
"You've got to make plays in this league and we're going to have to learn how to make those plays," said coach Rick Adelman, whose team has lost three straight and 19 of 23. "It's as simple as that."
Bryant had 17 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists in a 111-100 win at Minnesota on Feb. 1 as the Lakers claimed a 57-40 rebounding edge.
The Timberwolves' last win in the series - and only one in the last 24 meetings - was 117-107 in double overtime at home March 6, 2007.

LAS VEGAS Jurors who found O.J. Simpson guilty in his armed robbery trial say secret audio tapes and surveillance video swayed them more than witness accounts.
Seven panelists who attended an extraordinary news conference Sunday concluded that without the recordings the prosecution might not have won convictions.
"It would have been a very weak case," said Dora Pettit. Another juror David Wieberg chimed in, "Yes, a weak case," and other jurors nodded in agreement.
The seven jurors agreed to speak out two nights after the verdict was announced because they said they were being hounded by reporters. They answered questions for an hour in the same courtroom where Simpson and Clarence "C.J." Stewart were convicted of robbing two memorabilia dealers at gunpoint in a hotel room.
The jury listened repeatedly to recordings made by collectibles dealer Thomas Riccio -- the host of the hotel confrontation, who was granted immunity -- and felt they heard things that had not been fully transcribed by police, juror Michelle Lyons said.
But jurors could not trust the credibility of witnesses who were given plea deals, Lyons said. "We felt we could not rely on that witness testimony," she said.
The jurors all denied they wanted to punish Simpson for past wrongs. One panelist, Dora Pettit, said she prayed for him before and after the case.
"I think he's an ordinary man that made a bad decision," she said. "I prayed for him and Stewart and the attorneys. I don't have any ill feelings, and if they walked out tomorrow, so be it."
Simpson, 61, was acquitted in 1995 of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman in Los Angeles. He was later found liable for the deaths in a civil case. He had claimed in the robbery case that he was trying to reclaim mementos stolen from him.
The jury also reacted to complaints by Simpson's lawyers that there were no blacks on the panel; both defendants are black. One juror identified herself in a court questionnaire as Hispanic.
"We've been painted as an all-white jury who hates O.J., and that's just not true," Pettit said.
Asked why they convicted Stewart, whom some observers saw as a minor player, juror Teresa Owens said: "The thing that clinched it for me is he drove the car. He walked out with items. He came out of that room with items that didn't belong to him."
Said juror Consuelo Saldivar: "He didn't leave. If he walked in and saw what was going on, he could have walked out."
He then continued to participate in a cover-up, jurors said, which made him a conspirator.
Foreman Paul Connelly said it might have been a waste for prosecutors to give plea deals to several Simpson co-defendants in exchange for their testimony, since the jury did not rely on it.
Simpson's lawyer Yale Galanter told The Associated Press earlier Sunday that the former Heisman Trophy winner is hoping for a new trial and a strong bid to reverse his conviction. He is being isolated from other prisoners in the Clark County Detention Center for his own safety, and is allowed to see only family members and a few friends, he said.
Simpson will be held at the detention center until his sentencing in December and then is expected to be moved to state prison. Galanter said he will pursue a request for Simpson to be released on bond during the appeals process.
"He's disappointed and a bit melancholy," Galanter said.

Soups, salads (niçoise, tuna) and quiches are available, but the main attraction is the crêpes --- Breton-style savory ones with ingredients such as goat cheese, shrimp and sausage, or sweet versions with Nutella or simple confiture. Paired with an espresso or fresh orange juice, et voilà, you have a light meal.

text: As I said before I agree with some of the feedback being given here about the UI/UX of the new XFMG product. Let me then give some specifics. I agree for instance with that interacting with the media is not always so clear/intuitive in XFMG. For me, the majority of the 'issues' on this level have to do with the buttons: For example the use of the 'image' button for different purposes. Look at this screen: In this screen, the 'image button' is used as an indicator for images. It doesn't do anything if you click on it (which in itself is a bit confusing, since it is styled as a button). And then look at this screen: In this screen, the exact same icon is used, but for a totally different function: when clicking it, it opens your image in a lightbox. 2 totally different functions using exactly the same icon. This is no good for obvious UI/UX reasons.

I am not the creator of the following images. I downloaded them from the internet, enlarged them, gave them a transparent background, and using the awesome tools in PaintShop Pro X7 Ultimate, plus a few free plugins, I changed their shape, added texture, color and more. I hope you enjoy these charming Hippos.
