John DiStaso's Granite Status: Harsh posts by Democratic state lawmaker put National Review spotlight on GarciaBy John DiStaso, Senior Political Reporter
December 02. 2013 5:17PM
MONDAY, DEC. 2. "BOOST" FOR GARCIA? Republican congressional hopeful state Rep. Marilinda Garcia may have actually received a boost from a Democratic state lawmaker who last week disparagingly compared her to reality television star Kim Kardashian.
Manchester Democratic Rep. Peter Sullivan's Twitter posts critical of the latest GOP 2nd District U.S. House candidate resulted an opinion piece Monday entitled "The War on Conservative Minorities" by columnist John Fund on National Review Online.
Shortly after Garcia announced her candidacy on Nov. 25, Sullivan posted on Twitter, referencing conservative state Reps. Al Baldasaro of Londonderry and William O'Brien of Mont Vernon, the former New Hampshire House Speaker:
"She's Al Baldassaro (sic) in stiletto heels, a lightweight and O'Brien clone."
"Bill O'Brien + Kim Kardashian = Marilinda Garcia
"She is a right-wing, homophobic, anti-worker shill for the Koch Brothers."
He later wrote:
"After careful consideration, I want to apologize to Kim Kardashian for comparing her to a right-wing extremist like Marilinda Garcia."
The posts began a partisan war of words for a brief time on Twitter, including many nasty remarks hurled at Sullivan.
Garcia said in a statement, "To me, the most unfortunate by-products of such personal attacks, negativity and vitriol are that they discourage good people from getting involved in politics, cause citizens to be disgusted at the political process, and tarnish the reputations of all elected officials just by virtue of association."
Fund's opinion piece Monday brought national attention to Garcia, a 30-year-old four-term state representative and may actually help her gain support from conservatives and Republicans in general, not to mention women and minorities. Garcia is a Boston native of Italian/Hispanic descent who has lived in Salem since childhood.
Fund wrote that what he called Sullivan's "sexist smear" of Garcia received "virtually no" media attention in New Hampshire, "much less nationally." He compared it to the large amount of coverage some media outlets gave to Republican U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio taking a sip of water while delivering the GOP response to President Obama's State of the Union address last January.
"Progressives often reserve their deepest hostility for conservative minorities such as Garcia because they are a threat to the notion that minorities should only think and vote only like leftists," Fund wrote.
"As former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, Justice Clarence Thomas, and former representative J. C. Watts can attest, people on the left reserve their harshest and most personal attacks for minorities who have the audacity to wander off the ideological plantation."
Sullivan, responding to the Fund piece, wrote on his Facebook page:
"I was just attacked by the National Review. My life is truly complete."
He wrote that Fund "is smitten with Miss Marilinda, and is butthurt that the mainstream media hasn't sufficiently hounded me."
Earlier Monday, Sullivan stood by his earlier posts, writing on his Facebook page:
"Yeah, I said it, and I stand by it. The comparison is accurate. Garcia is a creepy pseudo-Christian right wing extremist who gets a free pass because she doesn't look the part."

What's the new denim wash I should be looking out for this fall?
A: If you are a self-proclaimed denim-obsessed gal like us, then you probably know that fall is the best time to seek out the latest and greatest styles. While we continue to love a multitude of washes—ranging from super destroyed to crisp dark indigo—this season we're enchanted by a color that happily resides in the middle: true blue.
Essential #1: Jeans
This saturated wash with no destruction is a great nod to the ongoing '90s trend—think: high-waisted jeans you would find on Brenda Walsh or in Heathers—and pairs nicely with all of fall's chunky cream cable knits, classic plaids, and oversized men's coats in camels and tweeds.
Essential # 2: Jackets and Skirts
In addition to stocking up on jeans, try this rich wash on jackets and skirts too. A denim mini is the perfect transitional piece you can wear now and well into the earlier months of fall, while a roomy jean jacket can easily be styled over a t-shirt or crewneck sweater.

A little late, but...
As Noir is one of my favorite anime titles ever, I have to comment.
I admit that the plot moved slowly, but that was part of the charm of the show. For example, at first, the endless flashbacks annoyed me to no end, but as the series progressed, they became an extremely powerful running motif. The mysterious atmosphere kept building up, and I loved it. I also liked the fact that the first episodes were detached and episodic. Each ep. was a new story in a new place, that revealed the truth little by little. It was really a treat when everything came together near the ending. Also, unlike many other animes, the ending didn't seem rushed or sudden (which detracts from a series' strength).
Also, interestingly, while watching it, I didn't get the impression that I was watching an anime. There was no unrealistic explosions or magical powers, no distortions of any of the cahracters, and few radical plot twists. Unlike other action-genre series, I didn't have to wonder whether characters were really humans or just giant exploding sacks of blood. Best of all the music was incredible (no saccarine J-pop!!). I went out and got the two OSTs right away and they played nonstop on my playlists for a week.
I will concede, however, that I was a little let down by the action in the later episodes. Though at first, I could understand how the fighters were a little unsteady, their skill level never improved. The Soldats' best knights, the nuns, and the common everday lousy grunts all had the same shooting ability. Oh well...
As for the ending:
All in all, it's a masterpiece, and I would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat.

~Trying to Enjoy Life~
NOIR has come into my observations once but it's just too expansive for me to own it at that time...i think if i'm not mistaken is around RM185.00 >_< my one month allowance only RM100 how could i possible to bought it...>_<
My friends once told me... "Make Anime watching your hobby and you'll get a millionaire hobbies...and do you know that anime is a hobby where is more expansive than Golf?" And now i seems to get wat he mean >_<
I've only watch a couple of Episodes from Noir and the gun shooting scene is really rocks...even better than Gunslinger Girl....

Question about Noir (Spoilers)
I know this is pretty stupid, but I have a tendency to be driven insane by the things I just can't figure out at all. Anyway, towards the end,
I just want to know if I missed something in there.

Question on Noir-shoujo ai related
Hi there,
i'm the kind of person who fascinates with girl power,i've just finished NOIR,and it was great! I just like the bonding and friendship that evolves around girls,remember,only GIRLS.though i'm a girl myself.
Of course,i've been seeing Madlax as well...well,just finished downloading gunslinger girls,i hope it could turn out to be a nice series.As far as i can see,madlax is not completely the same with noir. *Since there's no kissing scene and stuff that has in noir*
As for maria sama ga miteru....just like the shoujo ai thingy,the story itself has nothing really interesting actually.
So what do u guys think? What's your opinion about noir? Is Kirika in love with mireille? And well,there's so much thing left behind unexplained...who was actually kirika?(don't tell me she's NOIR!)
why did she hold a gun at an age of,4,probably! ?
So then,see ya!

there is a noir thread, I guess this one will be merged pretty soon...
anyway since Kirika actually clearly said that she loves Mirielle in the letter she wrote to her, so there's no doubt in the shoujo-ai stuff imo...
About Kirika's age, I mentioned it in Madlax thread, but I'll say it again here, I guess it is possible that Kirika and Mirielle are at the same age, or only 1 year apart, ie. Kirika is 17 and Mirielle is 17 or 18. So maybe she was not as young as we thought when she did the assassination back then.
About who is she, she is one of the three chosen by Altena to become Noir, so Kirika received some super trainings at young age I guess...

Well, that's the way you could easily project on to it, at least. You could also take the safe route that due to the ensuing flashback (and the sound of waves that continue during it), she's instead reminded of that situation instead. I like my theory better.
Another is in NYC when Mireille gets up from bed in that nightgown; Kirika's eyes are definitely open for interpretation.
Anyway, it's a lot of fun finding all the little clues, and simple subtle expressions make the show.

Hmm. I've always believed that the relationship between the girls was more of a bond of fellowship than actual lustful love. I've interpreted Kirika's actions as more admiration towards Mirielle. She's, taller, more "mature", rather good-looking, popular, and somewhat "normal" when compared to her and her past. Though she's far by the superior killer, Kirika yearns to lead a somewhat normal life. I suppose that's why she was so attracted to the one painter from Season from Hell. Just my $0.02

The Class of 2002 at the Franciscan University of Steubenville received a surprise visit at their Undergraduate Commencement exercises on May 11, 2002. Norma McCorvey and Sandra Cano, the plaintiffs of the landmark 1973 Supreme Court abortion decisions Roe vs. Wade and Doe vs. Bolton, were present as guests to honor the graduates. They were invited by Fr. Frank Pavone, Founding Director of Priests for Life, who received a Doctorate in Christian Letters Honoris Causa from the University.
Fr. Frank addressed the graduates, telling them that their mission was not simply to fight abortion or to speak against it, but to end it. He called for a proper understanding of the "consistent ethic of life," which is compatible with placing urgent priority on the tragedy of abortion, as the US Bishops point out in their revised Pastoral Plan for Pro-life Activities (2001).
"There are some among you who are being called to dedicate yourselves full-time to the pro-life cause. If you sense that you have this call, now is the time to respond. You will never find a more urgent cause of justice," Fr. Frank told the graduates.
After the ceremonies, Norma and Sandra were joined by Fr. Frank and Fr. Mike Scanlan, TOR, Chancellor of the University, for a visit and prayer at the Tomb of the Unborn Child, located on the campus, where several aborted babies are buried.
Regarding the degree bestowed on Fr. Frank, Fr. Terence Henry, TOR, President, said, "Franciscan University is so proud to honor Fr. Frank Pavone. He realizes in everything he does and stands for that all life comes from God and thus has a sacred character." Fr. Scanlan added, "Fr. Pavone is doing such an important service for the Church. He has been remarkable in his initiatives and leadership in the pro-life cause."

It wasn't all the shots Derrick Rose took at the end of Game 4. It was all the shots he didn't take at the beginning.
It wasn't all the energy and aggressiveness Rose expended trying to take over the fourth quarter of Sunday's playoff loss to the Hawks. It was all the energy and aggressiveness Rose didn't impose on the game in the first quarter.
The plan tonight at home seems pretty simple: Rose needs to start Game 5 with the kind of aggressiveness he showed to start the fourth quarter of Game 4, which was the same kind of aggressiveness he had to start Game 3. Rose was 1 of 6 in first quarter-and-a-half of Game 4. Jeez, in Game 3, he had six shots in the first minute-and-a-half en route to his 44-point masterpiece.
Rose said the Bulls are "mad with the effort we put in last game,'' and Rose can start with himself, if you ask me (and even if you don't). Rose doesn't have to put another 40 on the Hawks, although I wouldn't be the least bit bothered if he did. But Rose does have to act like this is his team and his ball and his game early. Key word: early.
In Game 4, he looked like he was doing what Michael Jordan often did: letting his teammates show him what they had that night and what they needed. As much as I believe Rose deserves some comparisons to Jordan, that particular area isn't one of them, and here's why:
What these Bulls need is Rose shooting outside and Rose driving inside and Rose doing what leading scorers do.
I've heard some talk about Joakim Noah bringing the energy he's known for, the energy that he didn't seem to bring early in Game 4. Yes, the Bulls will need that tonight, but that's way behind Rose's early scoring.
In Game 4, the Hawks trapped and double-teamed Rose early, trying to get the ball out of his hands. Fine. The Bulls have seen this before. Rose finds an open big man who then gets it right back to Rose so he can drive on a defense suddenly out of position and off-balance.
What Rose did in Game 3 was unload the entire video game arsenal early. Layins, dunks, floaters, threes --- he used every cheat code the controller had. His teammates figured out their roles pretty quickly. The Bulls got an early lead, got a big lead, got control. Got it?
The Hawks aren't quite the front-running-or-fold-and-die Minnesota Vikings, and they did come back big on the Bulls earlier this season, but they become selfish and hoist a lot of stupid shots in the misguided belief that that's the only way to get back in a game. The Bulls need to help them get to that point. That starts with Rose. He's the best player in this series. He needs to be the best player in the first quarter.
Good morning, Taj Gibson. Zero rebounds. Really. Zero. Interesting time to channel his inner Eddy Curry, huh?
Kirk Hinrich says his hamstring is getting better. Thank goodness, because the Bulls' defense on Jeff Teague is getting worse.
Al Horford had eight points in the Hawks' fourth-quarter vivisection of the Bulls in Game 4 on Sunday. Interesting time for Joakim Noah to be named NBA All-Defensive second team, huh?
Wait a minute, I think the Hawks just got another easy layup.
Good morning, Josh Smith. Won't it be great to play in a building that won't groan everytime you take a stupid outside shot?
Smith is Rex Grossman in a headband.
Just noticed while writing the names of Kyle Korver and Carlos Boozer --- there's no "D" in either one. Ba-bum-cha. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. You've been a wonderful audience.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Westphalia was on fire, and yet the Queen of Bavaria barely stirred from her slumber. That wasn't her province, so why bother?
Wedmore Place, a European-style country inn expatriated to Williamsburg, sparks your nationalist pride, even if you're only an honorary native with a short-term visa. Each of the 28 rooms represents a territory or region of the Old World, such as Tyrol, Wales and Killarney.
The furnishings, color scheme and decor embrace the character and elan of the Euro-destination. Vienna: gilded mirrors and artworks depicting dancers and Marie Antoinette, Archduchess of Austria. Gascony: French toile de Jouy fabric on the walls. Castilla: chocolaty brown beams and furniture, heavy red drapes and an engraving of the Spanish royal site, El Escorial. Venice: 250-year-old studded wooden doors from India. OK, so the property supports globalization.
My second-floor duchy, wedged between Provence and Andalusia, flung open the doors to a Bavarian home. The slice of German life featured knobby oak floors, a fireplace trimmed with purple flower tiles (the temperature must fall below 50 degrees before you can light the fire), a folksy hand-painted night table and a wardrobe as green as a grasshopper. A vintage map of Wurttemberg placed the room in its biological motherland.
The inn was conjured up by Patrick Duffeler, a Belgium-born cosmopolite who has professionally dabbled in French wine, auto racing and fragrances. Inspired to open a winery in Virginia, he and then-wife Peggy visited 52 farms before landing on a 300-acre plot once coveted by a 17th-century captain on the Godspeed (the ship that delivered the first English settlers to Jamestown).
Duffeler named the farm Wessex Hundred, which sounds like a musky cologne, but actually Wessex refers to the kingdom of the West Saxons, and Hundred is a vintage term for a tract of land capable of sustaining 100 residents. The family harvested grapes for its Williamsburg Winery, which released its first wine in 1988. In 2007, it added the lodge because, well, no one wants to drink vino and drive home. And, surely, everybody wants to overnight in a hotel that scrambles together the Faberge eggs of the Clos de Vougeot in Burgundy, Montabaur Castle in Germany and Bacon's Castle across the James River from Williamsburg.
Despite its cultivated influences, the inn is neither hoity nor toity. When I entered the baronial lobby, with its 16-foot ceiling and stone hearth, I felt as if I'd walked into a giant group hug. The staff was welcoming and gregarious, our conversations transcending such standard front-desk topics as breakfast hours and checkout time.
The room rate includes two tickets for a tour and tasting at the winery, but I arrived after closing time (the vouchers are valid for a year). A self-led exploration of the property was still possible, however. It was too chilly to swim in the terra-cotta-tiled pool and too daft to hike the two miles of trails in the dark, so I took my party of one indoors.
I started in the hallways, which resemble Louvre galleries, with their enviable collection of tapestries, rugs, antique desks and paintings of melodramatic men and zaftig women. In the center courtyard, I looked down at an imported stone fountain missing only frolicking water nymphs.
En route to the fitness center in an adjacent building, I popped into the tweedy library modeled after a 19th-century British club. Here I could recharge my brain with more than 500 books written in four languages (German, English, French and Spanish) and covering such varied topics as history, travel and the decorative arts.
Across the way, near the coffee and tea station, Cafe Provencal is a bubble of Mediterranean blues and flavors (Duffeler's current wife, Francoise, is a native of Provence). For dinner, the chef stays on theme with such dishes as foie gras with port-braised figs and lavender-and-garlic-grilled rack of lamb.
At breakfast, the hostess tempted me with croissants flown in from France. I resisted, instead piling my plate with mixed berries and thick slices of nutty bread sweetened with black-currant jam — all so thoroughly European.
Wedmore Place, 5810 Wessex Hundred, Williamsburg, Va., has rooms starting at $165 a night. 866-933-6673, wedmoreplace.com

The 2011-D Native American Dollars were officially released by the U.S. Mint on January 12, 2011. The Mint offered the coins in a special ceremony held in Plymouth, Massachusetts, allowing customers to exchange the coins at face value. Additionally, after the ceremony the Mint gave away a free Native American Dollar coin to children 18 years of age and younger.
Most 2011-D Native American Dollar coins were well struck. Examples in grades up to about MS66 are very common. In MS67 condition they become a little more challenging to locate, yet, still easily obtainable at a very small premium if collectors are unable to find one in circulation. In MS68 condition and higher they are very scarce with few examples known.

Sir Alex Ferguson has played down fears that English football is on the decline, after no Premier League sides made it into the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time in 17 years.
Manchester United and Arsenal both suffered defeats in the round of 16, going out of the competition to Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, respectively, after Manchester City and Chelsea both failed to make it out of their groups.
|An all-English Europa League final is 5/2 with BetVictor
However, Sir Alex has dismissed Arsene Wenger's comments which claimed that the rest of Europe has caught up with England's footballing ability.
"You can't put us all in the one basket," the Manchester United manager told reporters.
"Our performance against Real Madrid was outstanding. We should have been in the last eight. Unfortunately it wasn't to be.
"But I don't think you can put us all in one basket in terms of deterioration. I don't believe that at all.
"It's also a little bit cyclical. Look at the performance level of Borussia Dortmund, and Bayern Munich have improved this year; Spain has been like that for a few years now."
Furthermore, Sir Alex believes that the past five years have shown that English teams are still up there with the best in Europe.
In the past five Champions League finals, there have been two English teams who have won the competition: Chelsea and Manchester United. Barcelona lifted the trophy twice too, with Inter also proving victorious.
When including second place too, five of the ten finalists have been English representatives, with Bayern Munich and Barcelona representing their countries twice, alongside the 2009-10 winners Inter.
Sir Alex continued: "Going back a few years, English teams were in the semi-finals and finals quite regularly.
"It's a bit of a cycle at the moment with the German teams progressing."

I was taking fertility drugs when I lost my job. I'm still using my last prescription, and hope to become pregnant very soon. Will I be able to get health insurance? And will it cover the pregnancy?
Waiting for Positive Test
Dear Waiting for Positive Test,
You should first consider continuing your old plan from your former employer. If your former employer does not offer COBRA or the plan is too expensive, then you will be looking at individual (or non-group) coverage. In some states, the insurer can refuse to sell you a plan. This is true until January 1, 2014; after that, insurers cannot turn anyone away. In the meantime, if you live in one of these states, you may get turned down by the insurer. If you live in a "guaranteed issue" state, then you will be able to buy a plan. Go to Guaranteed Issue States list.
Assuming that you can get an insurer to sell you a plan, you will be all set once it starts. The plan will cover the pregnancy and the child, since pregnancy is not considered to be a pre-existing condition (even if you are pregnant when you join the new plan).

MANHATTAN, Kan. - Ahead awaits potential ambushes. Any road trip to Ames, Stillwater, Norman, Waco and Morgantown could trip Kansas. But for now, the second-ranked Jayhawks are again in position to fulfill what is becoming their manifest destiny.
Two teams entered the Octagon Of Doom Tuesday night. One team emerged in first place in the Big 12 Conference. Kansas, picked in the pre-season to win its ninth consecutive regular-season title, prevailed over No. 11 Kansas State, 59-55. The Jayhawks (17-1, 5-0) have won 16 consecutive games.
That winning streak reflects KU's dominance in this Sunflower State Showdown. Kansas has won 45 of the last 48 games in the rivalry and is 23-2 in Bramlage Coliseum. The Wildcats (15-3, 4-1) are redefining insanity - playing the same in-state rival twice a year and expecting a different result.
"Any time you win over here, we feel very fortunate," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I don't know if we were lucky, but we certainly made some plays when we had to."
After scoring 97 points in an overtime defeat of Iowa State in the Big 12 opener, the Jayhawks have won four games with point totals of 60, 61, 64 and 59. If Kansas is at times offensively challenged, it is defensively blessed.
KU limited Kansas State to 35.1 percent shooting and its second-lowest point total of the season. The Wildcats attempted 57 shots and 30 of those came from 3-point range.
"We obviously relied on the three ball tonight, but it is something that they give you," Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said. "That's why Iowa State had a chance to beat them at their place. You have to hit the open ones, and that will make them defend you a little different. We did not do that."
Jeff Withey, the nation's second-leading shot blocker, was not credited with a rejection. But his presence appeared to convince the Wildcats that the best shot came from long range. Seven of their first nine shots came from behind the arc.
"Our game is to not let a team get into the paint, and I think we did a good job of that," said Withey who finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds. "That is what forced them to shoot a lot of threes."
Senior Travis Releford was the defensive stopper for the Jayhawks. He spent most of the game chasing Kansas State's Rodney McGruder, the Big 12 player of the week. McGruder finished with 13 points on 4-of-13 shooting. Releford led Kansas with 12 points, making 5 of 6 shots.
"I thought Travis played unbelievable. It was one of the better games he's played for us," Self said. "He was exhausted the second half. He asked to come out. I said no."
In the first eight minutes of the second half, McGruder freed himself to hit three 3-pointers, the last bringing the Wildcats within 45-41. That was the only stretch where McGruder had an impact offensively.
"I'm upset we lost that game. This is the last time I'm going to play them in Bramlage," McGruder said. "But we have a lot of basketball left. This can't be the end of it right here."
For Kansas State, the game unfolded like a hamster on a treadmill. No matter how hard the Wildcats tried, they couldn't make progress.
Kansas took an 18-10 lead on Elijah Johnson's driving layup with 8:46 left in the first half. K-State answered with a 9-0 run. Angel Rodriguez started it with a rate 2 by 15 shot; he scored from two feet over the 7-foot Withey by arching the shot 15 feet in the air. Shane Southwell, who had a career-high 19, capped the run with a 3-pointer to make it 19-18 with 6:23 remaining in the first half.
Self called a timeout and Kansas responded with a 6-0 mini-run that featured two baskets by freshman Perry Ellis.
"They do not get rattled," Weber said of Kansas. "They find ways to win."
Let us count the ways: Senior Kevin Young missed five of six shots. But he followed his own miss and beat the buzzer with a layup to give Kansas a 31-27 halftime lead. In the second, he hustled for an offensive rebound that kept alive a possession that led to a 3-pointer. And in the second half, the Jayhawks' defense was so efficient that they had fouls to give that helped kill the clock as the Wildcats tried to rally.
When Southwell scored off the dribble to make it 48-43 with 8:17 remaining, Kansas State appeared poised to take control. Freshman Ben McLemore, KU's leading scorer, made a 3-pointer and a jumper on consecutive possessions to extend the Jayhawks' lead to 10. McLemore spent the last nine minutes of the first half on the bench with two fouls.
"Those shots were huge,"Releford said. "I told him that once he got in after foul trouble. I just told him to keep his head and keep shooting."
Kansas State must regroup for what figures to be a challenging game at Iowa State Saturday. For Kansas, three of its next five games are on the road. Three of the Jayhawks' five Big 12 victories have come on the road.
"Whenever you can get a win on the road, it is good," Withey said. "It's still early."
Over the next six weeks, we'll find out if it's too late for any team chasing Kansas.

CAIRO (AP) — Three advisers to Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi have announced their resignations to protest his handling of a crisis over the country's new constitution.
With Wednesday's resignations, five of the president's panel of 17 advisers have quit since the crisis began on Nov. 22, when Morsi issued decrees giving him sweeping powers and putting him above any oversight.
He later called a Dec. 15 referendum on a disputed draft constitution adopted by his Islamist allies.
The only Christian assistant to the president — one of four presidential assistants — has also quit.
Two of the aides announced they were quitting on their Twitter accounts and the third on live television.

The most recent collaboration between the companies – a series of joint tests and demonstrations – led to a milestone in VoLTE interoperability. The companies successfully performed the world's first handover of voice calls from LTE to WCDMA in an end-to-end network using Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC). The technique allows voice calls from the VoLTE packet domain to be handed over to the legacy circuit switched domain.
The outcome of the demonstration will ultimately be used to guide and secure effective migration to multi-access networks, including GSM, WCDMA, LTE, CDMA and WiFi. The achievement is an important step in Ericsson's and Qualcomm's vision of being able to offer mobile users advanced communication services.
The collaboration is expected to continue with the two companies working towards ensuring optimized solutions for VoLTE together with Circuit Switch Fallback, and SRVCC. The ambition is to demonstrate consistent service behaviour over a wide range of mobile access technologies and to blend voice service with interoperable multimedia enhancements such as video, messaging and presence.
"As LTE networks are deployed as part of multi-standard networks, Qualcomm has the unique ability to provide evolved voice services such as VoLTE with integrated chipsets for multimode 2G/3G/LTE and WiFi capable mobile device Serge Willenegger, Vice President of product management, Qualcomm.
Ericsson envisages VoLTE being the foundation for evolved communication services, including video and Rich Communication Suite services, providing guaranteed quality of service.
"With continued collaborative efforts, Ericsson and Qualcomm will focus on the availability of the next generation mobile access technology, and speed up the introduction of new communication services in the mobile networks," says Magnus Furustam, Ericsson's Vice President, Head of Core and IMS.
The evolved communication services delivered via a multitude of access technologies will deliver the following user benefits:
- the ability to use voice and data services at the same time,
- usability and experience levels for packet switched networks that exceed those of circuit-switched networks
- the availability of a wide range of certified devices
- evolution of the telephony service to advanced and seamless communication service
- continuous global reach

I am currently reading Bötticher's Historiae antiquae epitome and am constantly encountering references to places in ancient Greece etc. Therefore I am looking for hi-res maps of ancient Greece (and Asia Minor during that time) and the ancient Roman world.
There are many maps floating around on the Internet. However, I am looking for hi-res maps so that the place labels can be read without major difficulty. And those seem to be quite scarce.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? (And no, the free maps provided by the Ancient World Mapping Center are not quite detailed enough).
Thank you,
Carolus Raeticus
PS: I can recommend Bötticher's opus as a nice warm-up before turning to the "ancients".
PPS: Have a look at the web-site Omnes viae which presents a Google-maps based map with Roman locations (based on the Tabula Peutingeriana and the Itinerarium Antonini). It allows the creation of an itinerary between two places. Wicked!

Fewer and fewer basic manufacturers are doing research and development in agriculture, but those companies are being called on to do more to feed the world. With some experts now predicting the world population could reach 11 billion by 2020, Bayer CropScience's Jim Blome says the pressure is on for those companies to work even more closely with public and private researchers to increase the use of technology. Blome was interviewed following a Bayer CropScience Respect the Rotation Field Day held at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.

November of 2009 was a big month for Facebook. And it's not just consumers who are leveraging this titanic network. Check out these crazy statistics.
ComScore reported that the popular networking site surpassed 100 million U.S. visitors in a single month, joining the elite list of sites (including Google and Yahoo!) that have also reached this milestone.
This major success led to another Facebook record as founder Mark Zuckerman reported they had reached 350 million users in total.
And the impressive stats don't stop there. ComScore also reported that Facebook took up 5.5% of all time spent online in the U.S. during the month of November. Considering how big the "online world" actually is in terms of web pages, this was no small feat! Check out this image:

Heavy lies the crown of the unofficial standard bearer for the beleaguered Republican Party. But America's most successful and controversial radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh says he has no interest in being the face of the GOP.
"I am not the leader of the Republican party," the 58-year-old Limbaugh told TODAY national correspondent Jamie Gangel in an exclusive interview airing Monday and Tuesday on the program. "Don't wanna be the leader of the Republican party. It's silly for them to keep talking about how I'm the leader of anything."
Following the November elections that saw Democrat Barrack Obama sweep into the White House and a large Democratic majority take over both the U.S. House and Senate, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was asked who he believed represented the Republican Party. When Emanuel answered 'Rush Limbaugh,' it set forth a firestorm of controversy. It led national Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele to knock Limbaugh, calling his conservative rhetoric "incendiary" and "ugly."
Meanwhile, Limbaugh says he is laughing – all the way to the bank.
"It's just creating more curiosity about me," Limbaugh told Gangel in a preview from a taped interview that aired Friday on TODAY. "It's 21 years, more popular than ever. Lord, thank you for my enemies."
He launched his Rush Limbaugh Show nationally in 1988 just as the Reagan era was ending in Washington, and it's gone on to become one of the biggest success stories in radio history. Often credited for saving AM radio, Limbaugh's daily, three-hour show is the most listened to in America, and earned him the richest contract in radio history – some $400 million – when he re-upped in 2008 to continue broadcasting through 2016.
For the love of money
Limbaugh makes no bones about doing his radio show for the love of money, not necessarily for the love of politics or the spirit of debate.
"My audience, my ratings," Limbaugh replied when asked by Gangel who he does his show for. "For ratings, I will admit it.
"Let me shock the world right here on NBC. I am doing my show for ratings. I want the largest audience I can get because that's how I can charge the highest advertising rates. Which means what else do I want? Money."
Limbaugh came under fire earlier this year when he declared he would like nothing better than to see Obama "fail" as president. But he added context to that remark in his TODAY interview, telling Gangel that "He's my president, too – I want, you know, I want this country to succeed."
Limbaugh on race and politics
Still, Limbaugh gave TODAY a taste of his conservative, I-told-you-so political bent that have made him appointment radio for his loyal legion of fans. In his TODAY interview, Limbaugh said his previous prediction that having a black president would actually heighten racial discord in American has been proven.
"I predicted to you it was going to exacerbate racial problems, and it has," he said. "There's a race industry in the country. They make money off it. They have fame and fortune off of it. And I predicted exactly what's happened.
"Any criticism of President Obama is going to be said to be oriented in racism. And if you don't like his health care bill, it's racist. If you don't like his cap and trade, it's racist."
Limbaugh admitted he was briefly moved in seeing an African-American elected president, "But I got over it pretty quickly."
'Thank God for my addiction'
In his TODAY interview, Limbaugh also touched on his personal turmoil after becoming addicted to the prescription drugs oxycondone and hydrocondone, which led to a stint in rehab in 2003 and briefly led to criminal charges against him for so-called "doctor shopping." Those charges were later dropped in exchange for paying for the investigation against him.
Of that troubled time, Limbaugh said, "I actually thank God for my addiction. I learned more about myself in rehab than I would have ever learned otherwise."
Limbaugh, who has an estimated 20 million listeners spread out among the 600 radio stations that carry his program nationally, heads out of the radio booth for TV Jan. 10 when he will be a judge for the Miss America Contest at Las Vegas's Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The competition will be televised live on The Learning Channel.
Tune in to TODAY on Monday and Tuesday for more of Jamie Gangel's exclusive interview.

DENVER (AP) — A man suspected of stealing one of Tim Allen's custom cars says the comedian left the keys so he could drive it to Denver.
Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said Monday that 34-year-old Faustino Ibarra is being held without bond while awaiting extradition to California after his arrest on Saturday.
In a jailhouse interview with KDVR-TV (http://bit.ly/TpJirK ), Ibarra claimed Allen adopted him years ago. Jackson said there is no evidence of any adoption.
Ibarra said Allen had left the door to his garage open along with the keys.
Police confirmed that the customized 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS belonged to the "Home Improvement" star but said it hadn't yet been reported stolen when it turned up in Denver.
Allen's publicist Marleah (mar-LEE-uh) Leslie said she wouldn't comment because it's a police matter.

'Hike Safe' card would provide rescue revenuesStaff Report
February 06. 2014 7:40PM
CONCORD — The state would not bill hikers for the cost of their rescue if they purchase a "Hike Safe" card under a bill the House passed Thursday and is now on its way to the Senate.
The bill begins to address the issue of how to pay for hiker rescues that has plagued the state Fish and Game Department for years as well as lawmakers who have tried but failed to address the problem.
The Fish and Game Department is largely funded by the fees collected for fishing and hunting licenses. But the cost of rescues falls mostly on the department, so instead of funding replenishing wildlife and fish species, some of the money pays for the rescues.
The department's budget for rescue costs often is exceeded, and officials have consistently asked lawmakers for another source of funding to pay for the rescues.
But budget writers have been reluctant to use state general fund money to pay for the rescues and instead have proposed other methods to no avail.
No free helicopter use
The state can charge hikers for the cost of the rescue, but most do not pay the bill.
In the past, rescues could involve the National Guard helicopters because they are called training missions. But now the National Guard charges for the use of helicopters and that greatly increases the cost of rescues.
Under House Bill 256, hikers would be able to purchase "Hike Safe" cards which would allow card holders to escape state charges if they need to be rescued. The cards would cost $25 per person or $35 for a family.
People holding fishing and hunting licenses or who register snowmobiles or other off-road vehicles would also be exempt from rescue charges under the bill.

Fostering suspicion: New AG should change thatEDITORIAL
August 17. 2013 9:18PM
New Hampshire's new attorney general, Joseph Foster, should demand a new course of openness in that office.
He could start by knocking off its penchant for keeping the public in the dark on serious matters that effect the public.
Case in point: The (latest) officer-involved shooting. This one was in Weare. Two of the town's officers have been put on leave while the matter is investigated. So far, so good.
But not quickly identifying those two officers is nonsensical and does them an injustice. It raises suspicions and rumor. The AG said it would be weeks before they were named.
Equally as suspicious and rumor-causing is the AG's refusal to say, quickly, whether the subject who was shot, and killed, was armed.
How about giving the public some credit, General Foster?

NEW YORK (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton warned congressional Republicans on Tuesday that there would be consequences if they pursue a government shutdown to circumvent President Barack Obama's health care law, saying it "wouldn't be the worst thing for Democrats."
Clinton said Obama's sweeping health care law was "a very important step forward" to provide affordable coverage and reduce the cost of health care across the nation. Recalling her husband's first term in the White House, the former first lady suggested that congressional Republicans faced blame after the government shutdowns that marked the political fights of the mid-1990s and could face a similar judgment from voters.
"I think they ought to go back and read history. Because I will just say that it wouldn't be the worst thing for Democrats if they try to shut the government down," Mrs. Clinton said during a panel at the Clinton Global Initiative. "We've seen that movie before."
The former secretary of state and potential 2016 presidential candidate spoke shortly before Obama joined with former President Bill Clinton here to discuss the implementation of the health care law. The annual meeting brings together political, business and philanthropic leaders from around the globe during the start of the United Nations General Assembly.
Since departing the State Department in February, Clinton has largely avoided partisan politics in her speeches but offered pointed criticism here of the budget battle in Congress and efforts to increase the nation's debt ceiling enough to cover the government's bills.
"This president is not going to agree to defund health care. We're on the path to beginning the implementation. If they want to shut the government down, that's on their head and they're responsibility," she said. "And if they go even further, which is deeply distressing, and for the first time lead our country into a default on our obligations, that is not just partisan politics that is going at the heart of our credibility around the world."
Clinton said a default on the nation's debt would lead to "some unnecessary self-inflicted wounds that this country does not deserve. We deserve better from our political leadership no matter what party they're in."

About Maria Pinińska-Bereś
Predating Western feminist art, Pinińska-Bereś critiqued male representations of women, male desires, and the idealization of women. The 1958 sculpture Birth was the first in her oeuvre to feature the color pink, marking a newfound preference for soft, abstract forms in her sculptures, which were built from wood, sponges, foam, and fabric in shades of pale pink, and often recalled female genitalia. Pinińska-Bereś sought to criticize and expose the societal roles of women through an ironic and gentle eroticism, be it through her "Rotunda" series of concrete figures from Roman architecture mounted on fabric pedestals, or through her "Psycho-furniture" series of soft sculptures resembling chairs and couches.

Bed bugs are target one for House bill designed to helpBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
April 02. 2013 8:54PM
CONCORD - Bed bugs are a growing problem in New Hampshire, and landlords, tenants and municipal and state officials believe they have a way to begin addressing the problem.
House Bill 482 outlines the parameters for dealing with bed bugs infestations and the responsibilities of landlords and tenants to remediate the problem.
The bill grew out of the work of the Bed Bug Action Committee bringing those affected by bed bug infestations together to reach a compromise on the best methods to fight the problem.
"This is a genuine compromise," said Sarah Mattson of NH Legal Assistance at a public hearing on the bill before the Senate Health, Education and Human Services Committee Tuesday. "It's an enormous step forward on a problem that has been viewed as intractable."
Under the bill, landlords would be able to enter tenants' apartments without their consent to investigate a reported infestation and requires tenants to prepare their apartments for remediation.
Landlords would be responsible for the cost of remediation, but could later recoup the cost if a tenant is responsible for the infestation.
Landlords have to respond to a report of bed bugs within seven days or tenants can seek a court order.
Nick Norman of Derry, the legislative affairs director for the NH Rental Property Owners Association and a landlord, praised the bill, saying it has taken three years of hard work to achieve balance.
He noted dealing with bed bugs requires that the tenant cooperate to help solve the problem, while the landlord is allowed to use methods that best address the situation.
"As written, this bill is balanced and will make a great impact on handling the bed bug problem," Norman told the committee. "If you start mucking with it, it will get out of balance. Our plea is to accept as it is because we have already thrashed this out."
He and others said quick action is essential in dealing with bed bug infestations. The longer a tenant waits to report it or a landlord waits to take remedial action, the harder and more expensive it is to address.
Kelly McDonough of JP Pest Services of Milford told the committee "Not one person out there wants this bug in their home."
She gave the committee a primer on bed bugs and how quickly they reproduce and how difficult they are to kill. One bed bug can become 28,000 in six months, she noted.
One landlord spent $70,000 to get rid of the pests, she noted, but if they are caught early, duct tape can be used. "We have to stop these friends from moving around the state," she said.
McDonough noted professionals treat only 5 percent of the bedbug problems while tenants and homeowners treat the other 95 percent themselves.
The problem is growing worse in New Hampshire, said McDonough, who began working on the issue at Manchester's Langdon Mill apartment complex infestation in 2009 when she was a college student.
She noted her company has treated more nursing homes in the last six month than it treated in the last three years.
The bill is sponsored by Manchester alderman and Rep. Pat Long, D-Manchester.
The bill also would enable cities and towns to establish standards in local ordinances for infestations.
The committee voted 4-0 to pass the bill.
The Senate is likely to act on the bill later this month.

Remember Michael Jackson For His Moon Walks-Not Dr. Conrad Murray's Trial [VIDEO]
With the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray continuing, it's sad that THIS is what everyone will think of, when they remember Michael Jackson. He should be remembered for his mild manner, contribution to music and his fantastic dance moves that we all tried to copy, but just couldn't quite get the hang of.
Here is a video to help you think of him, as he should be thought of, spinning, singing and moon walking. ENJOY!

REDLANDS – The University of Redlands recently received national kudos for its achievements by students who pursue and excel at global academic opportunities while enrolled as undergraduates at the university.
The accolades were noted by the higher education industry's best known industry publications, the Chronicle of Higher Education and the online Inside Higher Ed magazine.
The Chronicle of Higher Education named the university in its list of Top Fulbright Producers among master's-granting universities for 2012-13.
Fulbright awards are the highest and most competitive awards for overseas research or teaching given by the federal government to approximately 1,500 graduating seniors annually.
Every year, 11 percent of all Fulbright awards are given to undergraduate students.
The University of Redlands had three student Fulbright scholars from the College of Arts and Sciences this past year, and has sent students abroad on such scholarships each of the past five years, bringing the university total to 12 in as many years.
In addition, the University of Redlands is among the top 10 masters-granting universities in the U.S. with the highest undergraduate participation rates in Study Abroad programs for 2012-11, according to a list published by Inside Higher Ed.
According to the publication, the University is among 12 master's-level schools that send 50 percent or more of their students abroad to study as undergraduates.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee's Tyler Bray is tied for the Southeastern Conference lead in touchdown passes. Connor Shaw's 13-3 record as a starter is the best mark through 16 games of any quarterback in South Carolina history.
Yet both have reason to look over their shoulder heading into their matchup Saturday at South Carolina.
Shaw was benched last week in the second half of a 44-11 loss to Florida that marked the 17th-ranked Gamecocks' second straight defeat.
Tennessee coach Derek Dooley has warned Bray that he could get replaced if he remains careless with the ball after throwing two interceptions and no touchdown passes in a 44-13 loss to Alabama.
Shaw and Bray both are expected to start Saturday, but neither quarterback can afford a poor performance.

One of the most common hesitations I see with businesses wishing to deploy more social techniques of engagement is their hang-up about making a video. This example from Google strikes me as the perfect example of a "social business" video i.e. the "casual" video for social engagement with an invisible professional touch.
I see this reticence whether the discussion is about making videos for internal use (for enterprise social networks) or for external consumption somewhere on the social web. The argument is usually polarised and runs like this:
- "We need to professionally present our business and have it professionally made and that will cost us $3,000 per video, I know that because I have just spoken to the video people we usually use".
- "No, everybody is used to Youtube and they even use those types of amateur videos on the daily news and even business programs - these days we are all able to get the content without fussing about the quality".
I actually favour the second view, just make it with your iPhone and do the best you can to hold things steady and get some good lighting and sound. People just want to hear what your customers or other employees are saying and if that is in their noisy office or factory that is ok.
OK I'll admit that my leaning towards the more casual approach does not usually solve the problem. Mostly I just think that in time those in the "professional" camp will become more relaxed, and until then they just miss out on the opportunity.
But there is a middle ground, and the Google Deep Learning video shows it. Here's what struck me about this video (aside from the astounding content):
- The setting is extremely casual;
- The framing, angles, and lighting are professional.
- It's extremely "business social".
I think that this is a perfect model for those companies concerned about conveying a professional image in a "social" video. I doubt very much that this cost $3,000 to make, but on the other hand it was carefully planned.
What do you think?

Social media expert visits Pinkerton Academy classesBy ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent
April 01. 2013 9:22PM
When it comes to business today, understanding the value of social media is essential.
That message was even clearer last week in Jen Scheffer's marketing and business classes when New York Time bestselling business author Chris Brogan came to talk to the students.
Brogan is a blogger and bestselling author documenting ways technology and social media can help business and improve productivity. He has appeared on the Dr. Phil television show and interviewed some of the most successful business leaders in the wold, including Richard Branson and Disney chairman and CEO Robert Iger.
However, it may be how he came to speak at Pinkerton Academy that shows the true power of social media applications.
Scheffer said one of her senior students, Rebecca Gray, was reading the Twitter feed for the American Marketing Association when she found out about an event in Boston that she wanted to attend.
At the event, Gray and fellow senior Kayla Wood saw a presentation by Brogan on social media, and after the event, they contacted him via Twitter.
"He was very approachable and helpful," said Gray.
Soon enough, Scheffer was also in touch with Brogan to see if he would want to be a guest speaker for her class through a Skype session.
"We sent a tweet to Chris asking him if he was interested in Skyping with a high school group in New Hampshire," said Scheffer.
When Brogan, who lives in Maine, found out Pinkerton Academy was only about an hour away from his home, he said he would be happy to come down and talk to the students in person.
Brogan spoke about how his interest in social media and the Internet dates back to his high school days in Maine, when he found himself interested in things that didn't interest his peers. As he grew older and the Internet grew in popularity, Brogan said he discovered he could find groups of like-minded people who didn't have to live in the same geographic region.
"Everyone wanted to talk about Red Sox and muscle cars, and I wanted to talk about super heroes and Dungeons and Dragons, so there was a good chance I was going to get punched every day," Brogan said. "I was able to use these online things to talk about what I was interested in and find people like me."
Brogan said he started a blog that began to find success after he started writing about how people could use technology to improve their businesses, customer service and productivity. Soon, Brogan was an in-demand public speaker and consultant for a number of big companies.
While Brogan has found success in the world of business, he told the students it is important to focus on the things they are passionate about.
"There are opportunities for you in so many ways to express what you want to talk about and what you want to do," he said. "You should probably have bigger dreams than that cubicle gig."

Mangala has Man City medical - report
Porto centre-back Eliaquim Mangala appears to be closing in on a move to Manchester City after he was pictured at Manchester airport having reportedly undergone a medical.
Mangala, 23, who is expected to cost City 40 million euros, has been a long-term target for the club. They first bid for him at the end of the January transfer window, although a move could not be agreed upon then.
There were reports that the France international was spotted on Saturday at Manchester's Bridgewater Hospital, where City often take prospective signings for medicals.
Mangala and Roma's Mehdi Benatia were the two defenders at the top of City's shortlist this summer.
They allowed one central defender, Joleon Lescott, to leave when his contract expired, and only have three specialists in the position -- captain Vincent Kompany, Martin Demichelis and Matija Nastasic.
Mangala, who was an unused member of France's World Cup squad, has also been linked with Chelsea and Manchester United.
City have already made one signing from Porto this summer, bringing in midfielder Fernando for 15 million euros.
They have also signed former Arsenal right-back Bacary Sagna on a free transfer and goalkeeper Willy Caballero from Malaga.

Bath covered bridge closes for restorationBy BOB HOOKWAY
Special to the Union Leader January 27. 2013 10:21PM
Plastic sheathing has been hung along the length of the Bath Covered Bridge in preparation for a major construction project that will rebuild much of the pre-Civil War structure. At 392 feet, the bridge is the longest wooden covered bridge among the 54 that stand entirely within the state of New Hampshire. The bridge further south across the Connecticut River between Cornish and Windsor, Vt., for example, is longer. The Bath bridge spans the Ammonoosuc River, and is scheduled to close today for a year. (BOB HOOKWAY PHOTO)
BATH - The town is preparing for the much-needed $2.9 million construction project that will restore its historic covered bridge, a landmark that predates the Civil War.
But residents west of the Ammonoosuc River and businesses in Bath Village are also bracing for today's scheduled bridge closing. For the next year, drivers wishing to go to Woodsville and points south, or to head north toward Lisbon and Littleton, are in for longer and more complicated trips over back roads.
The shortcut that also brings snowmobile and all-terrain vehicle traffic off the trails, across the 1832 span and directly into the village, will be out of commission until sometime in 2014.
While the need to rehabilitate the aging structure for safety, structural and cosmetic reasons is clear, the bridge's absence will be felt, by some more than others.
"It's not going to help sales, that's for sure," said Jim Lusby, as he cut and wrapped blocks of cheese Thursday behind the counter of another historic landmark, the Bath Brick Store.
"People on the other side of the bridge are going to have to go all the way around."
The store has long been a stop on the tour bus route, and that won't change, especially during next fall's foliage season. But the bridge closing will, for the next year, halt the considerable east and west daily vehicle traffic over the one-lane bridge. That includes the snowmobilers and ATV'ers who usually arrive via the bridge right on the doorstep of the Brick Store and several other businesses in the village on Route 302.
At 392 feet, the Bath bridge is the longest among the 54 wooden covered bridges that stand entirely in New Hampshire, according to Sean James, project manager for Hoyle, Tanner and Associates, the Manchester engineering firm in charge of the rehabilitation. The interstate bridge across the much wider Connecticut River between Cornish and Windsor, Vt., for example, is longer.
This will be the most extensive work on the bridge since the 1980s. Although the closing has been postponed a couple of times, James said last week he expects traffic to be shut off today.
"As far as I know, we're all set," he said.
The siding has already been removed and replaced by temporary plastic sheathing which has been hung on the sides both to keep construction debris from falling into the water, and to protect the workers, at least somewhat, from the biting wind that blows along the river.
The deck, now spruce, will be replaced, largely with Douglas fir, James said. The wood in various sections of the bridge will be "sampled and tested" he said, to determine where replacement is necessary. The roof and its trusses will be replaced, as will the floor beams. The construction must be in keeping with federal specifications; the bridge is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The New Hampshire Department of Transportation is overseeing things, and Wright Construction Co. of Mount Holly, Vt., is the general contractor.
The project's price tag of nearly $3 million is a far cry from the $2,900 it cost to build the bridge early in the 19th century. The federal government will cover $2.3 million of that amount; the state's bridge program will provide $464,000, leaving town taxpayers a $136,000 bill.
A discussion of what's "original" regarding the old bridge can be tricky, since the span, according to a history of the town, is the fifth to stand at that spot on the Ammonoosuc.
The first bridge was built there in 1794, and destroyed by flood and replaced in 1806. Floods also claimed the bridge and its replacement in 1820 and 1824, respectively, before the present structure was built.
