Contrary to what we hear so often in modern America, our founders believed that political conflict was not just acceptable, but that it was necessary for the continued existence and well-being of our Republic. If one looks at their design for government, conflict is inherent everywhere. The two chambers of Congress—the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House—are in conflict with each other. Likewise, the three branches of government—the Legislative Branch, the Executive Branch, and the Judicial Branch—comprise what we refer to as the "balance of powers," a natural and intended conflict. The States are, at times, in conflict with Federal government and each other, and the interests of citizens are often in conflict with one another. The founders believed that conflict would produce compromise, and that through that compromise, no one faction or group of people could grow too powerful or influential. It is for this reason that it is so vital for citizens to stand up and voice their opinions and values, because otherwise the balance that is created through conflict would be lost, and the rights of many would be put in danger.
The City of Charlotte is currently in the midst of an unbalancing act in regard to the debate surrounding a proposed "non-discrimination" ordinance. It began last March when Charlotte was pulled into a heated debate over a proposal that would have changed its "public accommodations" ordinance to give sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression protected legal status in the city. It could also create situations where business owners would be forced to choose between participation in same-sex union celebrations, even if it violated their sincerely held religious beliefs about marriage and sexuality, or face legal action against them. Similar measures have been used to impose severe fines on small business owners around the country and even put some out of business.
The amendment was narrowly defeated in the City Council last year after an impassioned discussion. Still stinging from defeat, supporters of the measure lashed out at what they called "the divisive, prejudiced rhetoric of out of town special interests." This is an interesting accusation from a group that accepted close to $10,000 in campaign donations from out of town groups in an attempt to put City Council members in office that are amenable to passing laws giving protected status to individuals who identify as gay, lesbian, and transgender, with no religious exemptions.
In September's primary election for city council and mayor, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) advocacy groups in Charlotte made no secret of their intentions to elect candidates favorable to passing the defeated "public accommodations" ordinance. As MeckPAC, a local LGBT group put it: "Our goal this year was simple – be very intentional in identifying the slate of candidates who will provide the LGBT community the best chance for a fully inclusive non-discrimination ordinance in Charlotte."
To achieve this goal, a coalition of groups dubbed "TurnOUT! Charlotte" spent close to $15,000, sent out thousands of pieces of mail, contacted over 10,000 voters, and worked countless hours. The majority of the money and staff came from the Human Rights Campaign and EqualityNC, two activist lobbying groups based in Washington D.C. and Raleigh respectively. This was a well-funded, well-organized and intentional attempt by both local and out of town interest groups to help elect candidates that would reintroduce and vote to pass the non-discrimination amendment.
We are now witnessing the culmination of these unbalanced efforts. As we've been reporting, the Charlotte City Council is planning to reintroduce the amendment. They could vote on it as early as February 8. It is clear that the LGBT cause is made up of well-funded and organized interest groups that are working to achieve their goals through recruiting and finding candidates that will represent their agenda.
The point of this article is not to disparage or attack those groups or the people they represent. It is to show that, without proper opposition and conflict, these groups may indeed succeed, and their success will result in violations of religious liberties and privacy. Citizens are encouraged to stand up and oppose this amendment in order to achieve the balance that occurs when conflict engenders compromise.
Opposition to this ordinance is not based out of "divisive, prejudiced rhetoric" as stated by its supporters. It is based in the desire to protect both the exercise of religious freedom and the privacy of individuals in the spaces where they are often most vulnerable.
All citizens should be treated with dignity and respect. At the same time, citizens should not fear legal ramifications for acting on their constitutionally protected religious beliefs. A common sense accommodation can be found wherein proper and necessary protections can provide the dignity and respect all citizens desire, while maintaining the important pillar of religious liberty.
In order to find this middle ground, however, there first has to be conflict. The LGBT community has raised its voice. It is time for the opposition to be heard again. It is not only what the founders hoped would happen, but what they knew had to happen in order for a healthy balance of power to be maintained.

Objective: European Investigative Journalism
Political decisions are made across borders. Business and trade go across borders. Criminals establish networks to run their activities in various countries. If journalists want to match this power, cross-border cooperation is one of the tools. For research as well as for publication.
Journalismfund.eu supports teams of journalists from several countries working out of each their country on a common story thus compiling multiple research competences and safeguarding publication to various audiences. Journalismfund.eu occasionally supports individual journalists working on European stories. Publication to multiple audiences and in several countries is considered important in order to address the various European audiences and achieve impact for the journalistic stories.
The support takes the form of grants to teams of journalists. They must demonstrate that their project is unusually costly or time-consuming in such a way that the normal support of editors or publishers is not sufficient for the project to be realised. The projects must exceed regular reporting, daily journalism or correspondence. The subject or theme must be European or have a cross-border perspective.

If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you. Consequently, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption, through which we cry, "Abba, Father!" The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. (Romans 8:11-17)
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to ransom those under the law, so that we might receive adoption. As proof that you are children, God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!" So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God. (Galatians 4:4-7)
If you had your choice to either be adopted by a king as his son or to live as his slave, what would you choose? I know this is a stupid question, but these are the choices we face every day. Adoption or slavery—what a contrast! Those images are used by St. Paul in both Romans and Galatians because he wanted to emphasize, in the strongest terms possible, the difference between living in "the flesh" and living in the Spirit.
When Paul talks about the flesh (Romans 8:12), he isn't referring to our physical bodies—which were created by God and are "very good" (Genesis 1:31). No, he means the inclinations to sin that we inherited from Adam—those daily temptations to act in unloving, selfish ways toward ourselves and others. This is the "flesh" that we were set free from when we became children of God at baptism and through faith in Jesus Christ.
We may not remember being baptized, but something important and powerful really did happen then: The Holy Spirit came to live in us and made us members of God's family. The stain of original sin—the mark of our alienation and slavery—was washed away, and now the Spirit is free to shine God's love into the deepest corners of our hearts. He actually prays in us, teaching us to call out to our Heavenly Father in the most intimate way: "Abba! Father!"
Abba is an Aramaic word, very similar to our word, "daddy." A friend of mine once told me of a day in a grocery store, when he noticed an Arab father and his little boy shopping. The boy got separated from his father and began running up and down the aisles yelling, "Abba, Abba," until eventually his father heard him, ran to him, and took him up into his arms.
What was true for that little boy is also true for us and our Heavenly Father. So when we are feeling lost or feeling tempted or bound by sin, we can recall who we really are: beloved sons of God the Father. We can cry out, "Abba, Father." When we do, we can experience his great love for us. We can experience the power of the Holy Spirit to put sin to death in our lives. And the more we internalize this truth in our everyday lives, the more we will find ourselves living in the Spirit and not in the flesh.
So today in prayer, ask your Heavenly Father to reveal to you in a personal way, deep within your being, that you are a beloved son. Ask him to give you the grace to live each day as his son, not as a slave to sin, so that you may do what pleases him. Ask the Lord Jesus to fill you afresh with his Spirit. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you recognize those things that may be binding you. Perhaps it's an addiction, or a sinful pattern, or anxiety, or fear. Perhaps it's your relationship with your own father. Then step out in faith and claim Jesus' victory as your own by acting out your freedom as you go through your day. You'll be amazed that you are able to live in the Spirit as a beloved son. You'll be amazed at the freedom!
"Heavenly Father, thank you for adopting me into your family. Today, and everyday, I want to walk in the freedom your Son won for me. Fill me afresh with your Spirit. Through the power of the Cross, I will put to death the power of my flesh and I will live in the power of your Spirit."

Questions for Reflection/Discussion by Catholic Men
1. Take a few minutes to meditate on the Scriptures from Romans and Galatians at the beginning of this article. What do they tell you about who you are in Christ, and your relationship with your Heavenly Father?
2. Slavery or Adoption? Living in the Spirit or in the flesh? These are the choices we must make every day and throughout the day. How are you doing? What steps can you take to do better?
3. In the article, we hear these words, "So when we are feeling lost or feeling tempted or bound by sin, we can recall who we really are: beloved sons of God the Father. We can cry out, 'Abba, Father.' When we do, we can experience his great love for us. We can experience the power of the Holy Spirit to put sin to death in our lives. And the more we internalize this truth in our everyday lives, the more we will find ourselves living in the Spirit and not in the flesh." What has been your experience of God the Father's love for you as a beloved? What difference has it made in your life?
4. If Abba is similar to our word, "daddy," then "Abba, Father" is similar to saying "Daddy, Father." What would keep you from crying out to your Heavenly Father, "Abba, Father"?
5. The article suggests we ask for the following in prayer:
· That our Heavenly Father would reveal to us in a personal way, deep within our being, that we are beloved sons.
· For the grace to live each day as his son, not as a slave to sin, so that we may do what pleases him.
· That the Lord Jesus would fill us afresh with his Spirit.
· That the Holy Spirit help us recognize those things that may be binding us.
What would hold you back from asking for these things in prayer?
6. If you are in a men's group, take some time at the end of your meeting to pray for one another that each of you would be transformed by a deeper knowledge and experience of the great love of your Father in Heaven. Use the prayer at the end of the article as a starting point.

His final appearance at World Team Championships came in 2007 for the Bitsy Grant Cup team in Christchurch, New Zealand.
At World Individual Championships, he won three Doubles titles, the first one with John Powless in 1989, the second with William Davis in 1997 and the third one in 2001 with Russell Seymour.
Mr Devoe remained active in ITF Seniors Circuit events up until 2010, with his last competition coming at the USTA Mens Hard Court Championships. As a very accomplished player, he was often highly ranked and achieved a number one ranking on at least one occasion in October 2001.
All at the ITF send their condolences to family and friends at this sad time.

There's more than a hint of Lanford Wilson's early work, "The Rimers of Eldritch" (1965) and even a touch of "Balm in Gilead" from the same year, in his 1999 two act drama, "Book of Days." Though his action is again set in the Missouri where the author grew up, Wilson's left the saga of the Talley family to return the melodrama of community politics. Fortunately, he's become an even better playwright, absorbing much from the canon of modern drama, including works like "An Enemy of the People." His title--taken from medieval public diaries--points toward a social concern. The show itself begins with a nod perhaps to Thorton Wilder when the ensemble, as town folk, introduce the audience to seemingly placid Dublin, another stand-in for Wilson's rejected birthplace, Lebanon, MO.
This play, which became a centerpiece of Signature Theatre's Wilson season in 2002, uses a cast of 12 "representative"--Wilson's designation--townspeople to reveal the almost baronial and church-ridden nature of their lives. It's no coincidence that twelve enumerates the Apostles--and a jury. Initially, the story revolves around Ruth Hoch played by Stacy Fischer in her best performance to date. Ruth's the bookkeeper at the only employer in town, a large cheese plant. When the community theatre hires a guest director for a production of Bernard Shaw's "Joan of Arc", she gets the part. Said director, Boyd Middleton is played with wry humor by Steven Barkhimer. Barkhimer like Fischer is a stalwart from the Publick Theatre's summer Shakespeare seasons. Ruth's winning audition is Juliet's balcony scene, displaying hidden talents peripheral to the story, but not her character. Fischer was an inspired bit of casting, displaying a range of acting many of her previous roles hasn't required.
Ruth and her husband, Len, played with a refreshing sense of Midwestern optimism by Sam Hurlbut work for leading citizen, Walt Bates, done with appropriate gravity by Ray McDavitt, remembered as Westmoreland from CSC's "Henry V" and from Ping Chong's "Reason" at the seemingly defunct Market Theater. When Walt, everyone's father-figure dies during a tornado, the apparent social stresses in town proceed to tear things apart. The major agent of this destruction is Walt's feckless son, James, done by Michael Kaye, seen last season in the world premiere of Laurent's "2 Lives" at the Lyric. James' one claim to fame is winning a state basketball championship his senior year in high school; he just passed the bar exam on his seventh try. His henchman is the plant's milk inspector Earl Hill, played by menacing Kevin Steinberg seen last spring in "Howie the Rookie." It doesn't take Ruth's suspicions at the end of Act 1 to realize these two are up to no good, though the ending is worthy of primetime.
If all this sounds a bit like "East Lynne" or some other 19th century family melodrama, there's more. James is married to the former head cheerleader, LuAnn, played by Lea Continaro, who manages the character's religious moments with some subtlety. The couple has no children and he's having an yet another affair with a hairdresser we never meet; she's pregnant. The hussy lives in nearby Springfield, where James is an aide to someone in the legislature. He eventually has his marriage to LuAnn annulled. The prospect of a grandchild brings his mother, Sharon, played straightforwardly by Kippy Goldfarb completely around to her only son's side, squelching questions about Walt's death. Central to the machinations, but unaware of that he's being used is handsome Doug Boyd-Flynn's Reverend Bobbie Groves, one of a long line of soulless preachers on the American stage. The force of small-town law is provided by imposing Floyd Richardson as Sheriff Conroy Atkins. For comic relief, and as practical moral compasses, the ensemble is rounded out by Beth Gotha as Len's Mom, a former flower-child now dean at a local Christian junior college and Jessica Healy as Ginger Reed, her younger counterpart who takes up with Boyd, the outsider. Many younger playwrights would have used only part of this story and concentrated on individual angst. Here the author rises to the Shavian challenge he set himself.
In the hands of a lesser author, or a team of TV writers, such a tale might have become laughable. Wilson manages to get a few cracks in, but he hews to his lifelong goal of afflicting the comfortable he sees at the core of our society. Using the experience of over three dozen very performable works, the author's crafted a piece drawing on memes of American theatre and his own plays, letting theatrical shorthand fill-in when needed. The Lyric, under director Spiro Veloudos has assembled a first-rate ensemble of local/regional talent, allowing the entire cast to give strong believable performances, switching from the realistic to the presentational with ease. The play's coda as another year marches by is nicely understated.
Their set by Janie E Howland is not as abstract as Beatty's almost antiseptic creation in New York, but somewhat more evocative, with a raised gallery at the back suggesting Southern decadence and providing a place apart when needed. Rita Sclavunos' costumes have a timeless quality which completes the image of a town more concerned with then than now. Karen Perlow's lighting keeps getting better and better, including an effective evocation of the tornado central to the action. No sound design is credited, though that was equally effective, especially Steven Bergman's original score which supports the Joan leitmotif. Veloudos and his team have once again lived up to their claim to being Boston's Off-Broadway. Even if that means following up this production with "Messugah-Nuns," replacing the previously-announced Durang libel on Mrs. Cratchit.

I have a Business Internet Account so I pay more for my Internet connection and also pay $5.00 extra each month for each static IP addresse (more than one) that I need. Why is it that Cox keeps changing my static IP addresses. This causes me quite a bit of extra work and cost (since I have to engage a consultant) to re-IP my equipment and the software that I have installed. Does Cox not know what STATIC means? Here this may help:
stat·ic (sttk)
Hi David,
CBS accounts most definitely have static IPs that should not change. Are you sure that you have a Cox Business Services (CBS) Internet account? The fact that you mention the $5 extra a month makes me think it might not be a Cox Business account, as all of those fees are built-in.
Email your full name, address, and your account number (if you have it) to firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll verify this for you. I definitely want to determine the account type! There's always a possibility that it's a CBS account with an IP address issue we need to fix!
Becky K.Cox Support Forums Moderator
My understanding is that only Business accounts can get a static IP, if residential accounts can when did this start?
XIII, it didn't start. Cox doesn't do static IPs for residential accounts.
Because Becky mentions that with a $5 fee it might not be a biz account leads me to believe that you can get a static when in fact you cant.
You can also have a business account at a residential location with a static IP. Cox does charge $5 a month for each additional static IP number that you lease from Cox. If you have a business account your email address will be hrcoxmail.com instead of cox.net.
There is no reason for a Cox assigned static IP to change unless it is not set up as static in the router.
As I'm reading this I thing the initial quesiton may have been misunderstood. Static doesn't mean that the IP address won't change but that it's not allocated automatically via DHCP. Generally speaking they shouldn't change often however if we move your subnet to a different physical location due to network or other needs it does become necessary to provide new addresses.
Cox Support Forums Moderator
Thanks for the great feedback and discussion...
On average my Static IP Addresses have changed (been reassigned due to network upgrades) every two years. This is the third time I've had to have my IP addresses changed due to a "Network" update. You'd think that for the $60.00/yr extra I pay for each additional static address, I'd be able to keep a set for more than 2 years at a time. I use both Cox static and Cox dynamic IP's in my network and I believe I've had a DHCP (dynamic) IP for a longer period of time than some of my static IP's.
So here is a follow on question for you to ponder. -> Should the customer be responsible for charges they incur to update their systems to support these "Network" updates? In my case I have to get a consulting company to make the changes to my systems. It's not just updating the IP addresses in the OS but its also the software I run that has the "Static" addresses imbedded into it. So these IP addresses are a bit of a pain to update every two years.
Thanks again for your feedback...
you try dynamic dns service it's free if you have an domain. automatically maintains your ip

A guilt free way to get your berry fix in Winter is to turn to frozen berries. But with the recent health scares involving imported berries it's good to know local farmers provide an alternative source. This year my freezer is particularly well stocked thanks to a delivery from the best frozen berries I've ever seen direct from the Yarra Valley.
These huge, plump and (once defrosted) juicy berries prompted me to make some strawberry cheesecake cupcakes for Australia's Biggest Morning Tea a few weeks ago. I would say they were a big hit at work but when you work in an office without a vending machine anything with sugar is a big hit! Based on the Hummingbird Bakery recipe (always a winner for cupcakes) the cupcakes are made from sponge the cheesecake part comes from the icing and the crumble topping.
- 125g self raising flour
- 140g caster sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 40g butter, room temperature
- 120ml milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 12 large frozen strawberries, defrosted and chopped into small pieces
- 300g icing sugar,
- 50g butter, room temperature
- 125g cream cheese, cold
- 100g biscuits, I use Arnott's Marie
- 1. Preheat the oven to 180c
- 2. Mix the flour, sugar, salt and butter in an electric mixer and beat on a slow speed until everything is combined and has a sandy consistency,
- 3. Add the milk and vanilla extract and beat on medium speed until well mixed then add the egg and beat again until combined.
- 4. Line a 12 hole cupcake tray with paper cases and spoon a little of the strawberries into each case.
- 5. Spoon the cupcake batter over the top until each cupcake case is 2/3 full and bake for 20-25 mins in the oven or until lightly golden and a skewer comes out clean.
- 6. Leave the cupcakes to cool slightly in the tray before turning out onto a cooling rack.
- 7. To make the frosting beat the icing sugar and butter in an electric mixture on medium speed until the mix comes together then add the cream cheese in one go and beat until completely incorporated. Continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy which takes at least 5 mins.
- 8. Spread the frosting on the cupcakes once they are cool using a palette knife.
- 9. Place the biscuits in a food processor and mix until finely ground. Sprinkle on top of the frosted cupcakes.
I received a free delivery of strawberries which I used to make these cup cakes to raise money for Australia's Biggest Morning Tea this year. If you contact any of the Pick Your Own growers you should be able to buy frozen berries direct from the farmers until Victorian strawberry season kicks off again in November and fresh local berries are back on offer.

It is a proven fact: When you have family and friends over, everyone tends to gather in the kitchen. This great open floor plan makes it easy for guests to be where the action is without feeling cramped.
Subtle accents work well in this large space and help tie the two open rooms together. The treetop ceiling-mounted light fixture, the rustic, lodge-inspired accessories, and the vase filled with fresh cranberries and rose hips create a relaxing scene.
A casual table comes in handy during because it is ready to go when you want to entertain. The matchstick wooden table runner brings great outdoorsy texture to the table. Topped with a centerpiece of berries and flowers, the table is as pretty as it is functional.

Youch! I have always heard, and a couple of times experienced, that there is no wrath like that of a woman scorned. Well, I believe you can say that about the Cleveland Indians after the Cincinnati Reds, pretty handily, swept the Indians in GABP last week. The Indians spent the last three days returning the favor for the Reds. Although the first two were close games – both 1 run victories for the Indians. The last game was a massacre for the Indians (pun intended).
The Cincinnati Reds couldn't find their pitching in games one and three nor their bats in games two and three. The bullpen fell apart on them in all three and the starting pitching did in one and three.
It was a shame to see a wasted great start from Mike Leake on Tuesday. He went 7 innings and allowed only 1 run. How many times can you say that about Leake this season. It was Cincinnati Reds' closer, Aroldis Chapman who blew the game in the bottom of the 10th by allowing a walk-off two-run homerun. It was the first homerun allowed by Chapman this year, but it was his third loss after starting the year 4-0. It was also his fourth appearance out of six in which he allowed a run. In none of the last six appearances has he even sniffed 99 mph on the radar gun. He is consistently throwing 96 with little movement. Something is clearly wrong that needs to be corrected and soon.
On the bright side, Joey Votto continued to hit the ball. He is riding another hit streak, now at 7 games.
The Cincinnati Reds will have the day off on Thursday as they travel back home to get ready to start a series with the Minnesota Twins on Friday. Hopefully they will respond to the day off as they did after their last day off, which was to reel off 6 wins in a row.

Designed by Wunsch | Country: Denmark
"A newly established yoga studio, Yogamood seeks to place yoga in a modern Scandinavian context, making it accessible to those without prior knowledge of yoga while retaining the philosophy's unique ideology and symbolism. Following the establishment of the company, Yogamood developed a range of pure aromatherapy oils. Each has its own characteristics and application and can be used separately. When all three oils are placed in a row, the product names A (Activate), U (Unify) and M (Meditate) form the word AUM, an meaningful and well-known term in yoga philosophy."
Circle 21 Candles

Designed by Nudge | Country: United States
"Circle 21 Candles produces all natural soy candles in a line of location-themed scents. The candles are hand-poured into recycled wine bottle containers and topped with "branded" corks to keep the candles smelling fresh. For the labels, we created a blank letterpress label template and used custom rubber stamps for each scent. This not only allowed the client to easily and economically add new scents but also gave each candle a unique, one-of-a-kind feel."

"As an importer and producer of exceptional oils and condiments, Maison Orphée is proud to extend its product offering with the launch of a new line of sea salts. Inspired by the company's 35 other products (also created by lg2 three years ago), the new packaging definitely has its own personality.
Naturally reminiscent of the sea, the look is minimalist, and modern using stripes to evoke the allure of lighthouses and sailing. As unique as the packaging is, it is these same stripes that create a link to the other products in the Maison Orphée product range, adding to the growing family of fine products."

"The Bodegas Nazaríes was born with the intention of being a quality leader within the new PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) of Granada. So much so that the product names were taken from two rooms of the Alhambra, which is the quintessential symbol of the city and the finest example of Nasrid Art.
With this very literal reference, an equally direct design was decided upon, 'decorating' the bottles as if they were the two spaces which they symbolise."

Although Lamar Odom has struggled so far in his NBA Finals debut, averaging just nine points and eight rebounds, the forward remains optimistic that he'll finally breakthrough in Game 4.
Lamar–along with the rest of the Lakers–finally saw signs that he was coming out of his Finals funk toward the end of Game 3 after he made a series of aggressive drives to the hoops resulting in clutch baskets for L.A.
According to the forward, he needs to continue to be active around the hoop with his rebound and defense, even if his shot isn't falling.
Coach Jackson said before last night's game that he offered support to Odom–something that came as little surprise to to Lamar.
"He knows what to expect of me and I know what to expect of myself," said Odom.

Introducing the 2.6 Kernel
During 2.5, VM finally came into its own. The VM subsystem is the component of the kernel responsible for managing the virtual address space of each process. This includes the memory management scheme, the page eviction strategy (what to swap out when memory is low) and the page-in strategy (when to swap things back in). The VM often has been a rough issue for Linux. Good VM performance on a specific workload often implies poor performance elsewhere. A fair, simple, well-tuned VM always seemed unobtainable—until now.
The new VM is the result of three major changes:
reverse-mapping (rmap) VM
redesigned, smarter, simpler algorithms
tighter integration with the VFS layer
The net result is superior performance in the common case without the VM miserably falling to pieces in the corner cases. Let's briefly look at each of these three changes.
Any virtual memory system has both physical addresses (the address of actual pages on your physical RAM chips) and virtual addresses (the logical address presented to the application). Architectures with a memory management unit (MMU) allow convenient lookup of a physical address from a virtual address. This is desirable because programs are accessing virtual addresses constantly, and the hardware needs to convert this to a physical address. Moving in the reverse direction, however, is not so easy. In order to resolve from a physical to a virtual address, the kernel needs to scan each page table entry and look for the desired address, which is time consuming. A reverse-mapping VM provides a reverse map from virtual to physical addresses. Consequently, instead of:
for (each page table entry) if (this physical address matches) we found a corresponding virtual address
the rmap VM simply can look up the virtual address by following a pointer. This method is much faster, especially during intensive VM pressure. Figure 4 is a diagram of the reverse mapping.
Next, the VM hackers redesigned and improved many of the VM algorithms with simplification, great average-case performance and acceptable corner-case performance in mind. The resulting VM is simplified yet more robust.
Finally, integration between the VM and VFS was greatly improved. This is essential, as the two subsystems are intimately related. File and page write-back, read-ahead and buffer management was simplified. The pdflush pool of kernel threads replaced the bdflush kernel thread. The new threads are capable of providing much-improved disk saturation; one developer noted the code could keep sixty disk spindles concurrently saturated.
Thread support in Linux always has seemed like an afterthought. A threading model does not fit perfectly into the typical UNIX process model, and consequently, the Linux kernel did little to make threads feel welcome. The user-space pthread library (called LinuxThreads) that is part of glibc (the GNU C library) did not receive much help from the kernel. The result has been less than stellar thread performance. There was a lot of room for improvement, but only if the kernel and glibc hackers worked together.
Rejoice, because they did. The result is greatly improved kernel support for threads and a new user-space pthread library, called Native POSIX Threading Library (NPTL), which replaces LinuxThreads. NPTL, like LinuxThreads, is a 1:1 threading model. This means one kernel thread exists for every user-space thread. That developers achieved excellent performance without resorting to an M:N model (where the number of kernel threads may be dynamically less than the number of user-space threads) is quite impressive.
The combination of the kernel changes and NPTL results in improved performance and standards compliance. Some of the new changes include:
thread local storage support
O(1) exit() system call
improved PID allocator
clone() system call threading enhancements
thread-aware code dump support
threaded signal enhancements
a new fast user-space locking primitive (called futexes)
The results speak for themselves. On a given machine, with the 2.5 kernel and NPTL, the simultaneous creation and destruction of 100,000 threads takes less than two seconds. On the same machine, without the kernel changes and NPTL, the same test takes approximately 15 minutes.
Table 4 shows the results of a test of thread creation and exit performance between NPTL, NGPT (IBM's M:N pthread library, Next Generation POSIX Threads) and LinuxThreads. This test also creates 100,000 threads but in much smaller parallel increments. If you are not impressed yet, you are one tough sell.
Table 4. Results of the thread creation and exit test: this test measures the time for ten initial threads to each create and destroy one, five or ten parallel threads.

Bazaar's beauty director-at-large Newby Hands loves chocolate and organic food.
Food philosophy: 'Whenever possible, I try to eat organic, as I care most about what's not in my food (chemicals, antibiotics, hormones, etc) - and that it is good quality. If I eat chocolate I know it has lots of sugar, but what makes me furious is discovering sugar hidden in foods like savoury pre-made meals. I also eat a bit of everything; as soon as you cut something out you obsess about it. Every evening I make a mental note of everything I have eaten, and not one mouthful goes under the radar. This way I keep tabs on whether to pull back or up the quantities of healthy food, and so on.'
Daily diet: 'Rye toast and maybe an egg with tea for breakfast. Ideally a small salad with chicken for lunch, and lots of tea and water throughout the day. Dinner is always my main meal: anything from chicken, sometimes fish or red meat, pasta, basically whatever I feel like as I certainly don't stint myself.'
Indulgences: 'Good wine and cheap chocolate.'
Eating out: 'Anywhere that uses good quality ingredients, as I don't want to eat rubbish. But I eat out infrequently, as I love cooking and that way I know exactly what's in my food.' Wellbeing 'I take omega-3 oils, and magnesium with B6.'
Workout: 'Yoga and Pilates have changed my body, my bad back and my overall health. I plan to do both until I drop.'

Who's feeling a little bit sad this morning?! Let's all huddle in&have a big twitter hug- don't worry there's still the Paralympics to come!— Chris Hoy (@chrishoy)
Jeremy and Boris - both touted as future Tory leaders - at this morning's post-Olympic press conference. Our report from the conference is here. Boris said:
London this morning to me really does feel like the capital of the world. Over 17 days we have shown the world that if we put our mind to it there is nothing this city and this country cannot do."The biggest thank you belongs to the people of London. You embraced the Games, kept the city moving and helped deliver something truly special.
THE feel-good effect of the Games has led to a fall in crime levels across the board in London over the past two weeks, police say, with only 253 arrests by officers on Olympics duty. Scotland Yard said the policing operation had been a huge success, with few crime issues and no spikes in areas such as robbery. A total of 10,500 police officers were deployed in London during peak days — about 1,500 more than originally planned, mainly due to the shortage of G4S security guards.
Robin scored 30 goals last season and you want to keep your best player...He was player of the year in England. We want to keep him. I cannot tell you more at the moment because I don't know more...There's no news on Van Persie. Our fans want him to stay so you can understand they are excited. Anything I could say about Van Persie would be a lie because he's our player and that's it.More no-news updates to follow. "He scores when he wants" is a popular chant at the Emirates. Evidently the same doesn't apply to getting a transfer.
Although the chemistry between the performers is strong, the songs often don't do enough to advance the action, and more of the dialogue should have been set to music. In addition, the tight playing space limits the possibilities of the dance scenes, choreographed by Alyssa Noble.

Kid Rock, Britney, now Beyoncé...lots of New Orleans-related celebrity news today (and we didn't even touch Brad and Angelina's date at Elmwood last night). We'll just quote here:
To celebrate its 15th anniversary, next year's Essence Music Festival in New Orleans is featuring a 15 percent discount on select tickets through Jan. 31, 2009. Beyoncé will make her third appearance at the Essence Fest by headlining the 2009 edition, which will take place July 3-5. Additional performers will be announced soon. Organizers hope the upcoming edition of Essence is just as triumphant as this past July's, which was its most successful ever and hosted more than 270,000 attendees.
To hold you over until July, take a gander at the trailer for Beyoncé's latest, the Etta James bio-pic Cadillac Records, then tell us whether she "performs dynamic versions of Etta James classics and delivers the dramatic goods" or "doesn't seem to have splurged on acting lessons since her wooden turn in Dreamgirls":

Learning and Earning.
Hoys in high school at MtC'oiub
City Miss., earn $12 to $ iX a month
regularly while attending school.
A plan if co-operation his been
drawn up between the high school
and the Illinois Central railroad,
whereby the boys attend school one
day and work in the railroad shops
the next. The "student apprentices,"
as they are called, are paid for their
work in the shops, the minimum
wage being 12 cents an hour. After
four years of combined high school
attendance and shopwork the boy
is prepared to enter college or draw
a mau's pay at his trade.
Railroad and school authorities
agree that the plan works well.
The railroad official iu charge of the
boys said: "After actual tests it is
shown that the plan of co-opera"'oi
between the Illinois Central railroad
shops and th; M.:Comp City high
school is not only feasible, but that
it is working out in a manner entire
ly satisfactory. 1 believe it to be
for the best interest of the railroad
company to fill all v.u- nicies in the
apprenticeship ssu-i;i as far as pos
sible witn co operative apprent
Supt. Hughes of the school system
is equally enthusiastic over results
from the school's point of view.
He believes the plan otters one
solution of the problem of keeping
boys in school; that it fosters a
boy's spiiit of indepeqdence and
satisfies his commendable ambition
to get into the game of life.
The McComb City plan, says a
bulletin of the federal bureau of ed
ucation, is another indication of
the strength of the present move
ment for systematic vocational ed
ucation in connection with the
public schools. It is noteworthy in
that it does not lose sight of the
need for continued culture training
for the boy who may want to earn
his Ijyjng in the shops.
The Complexion
A clear and beautiful skin ought
lwi;s to accompany youth and
health, but ijfce other good things it
cannot be had for nothing, and
when you have it you cannot play
fast apd loose with it. Neither
can you kpep jt by observing some
of tbe law d mife breaking
others. Take fresh air, for example.
very one knows that health cannot
fc had without a continious supply
of fresh sir. Vet that alone will
not keep the skin in jjqcjj condition,
as a glance at the faces of (be peo
ple who live in the open, but who in
other respects defy the laws of
health, will tkuw,
Young people who livu jo the
country breathe all tbe time air that
people from the city spend a gieal
deal of money to enjoy for a few
weeks in the summer. Hut perfect
complexions are no moo pommon
in the country than in the city.
The reason is oftenest to be foubd
it) the diet. Cake or pic at nearly
every meal, the equally inevitable
doughuuts, and burkuhest rates,
with pork in some form as the sta
ple of diet, are enough to account
for any defect in the color or tex
tore of the skin. Jt almost seems
to be a point of honor wiib some
young person; to dislike the simple,
wholesome foods, such as eggs,
milk, and fruits, and to prefei
those that are hardest to digest.
In the city, swcils are often at
the bottom of the trouble. There
is no objection to any one's eating
a moderate amount of pure candy:
but a box of candy thai stands open
on the table, and is visited at every
hour of the day, can quickly spoil
the fairest and smoothest skin.
If- the complexion remains bad
in spite of care 111 the matter jf diet,
it may be that wrong breathing
habits, or a lack of fresh air in the
bedroom at night, is responsible.

It's only the fourth week of "Dancing With the Stars" and already things are getting personal. The celebrity contestants revisited the best year of their lives this week, opening up the back stories and unleashing a cascade of tears and emotion.
Programs like this are always crowd-pleasers. The audience has a sentimental story that they can get into, and the stars are always more inclined to dance better when they have an actual personal connection to their routines (as opposed to, oh, I don't know, being the bad boy on a motorcycle who steals away the prom queen). And sure enough, this two-hour show was packed with more emotional highs than usual – as well as a low when one of the contestants fainted during rehearsals.
Each of the remaining contestants also had to perform a solo somewhere in their routine: 15 terrifying seconds of abject terror that could help make or break a star's ranking.
PHOTOS: Meet the cast of 'Dancing with the Stars' season 16
Whose solos soared, and whose suffered? Which routine had Carrie Ann choked up beyond words? And who ended up at the top of the leader board for the first time ever?

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- The Coyotes acquired center Matthew Lombardi from the Maple Leafs on Wednesday for a fourth-round pick in the 2014 draft. Lombardi played for the Coyotes from 2008-10, tallying a career-high 19 goals and 34 assists in 78 games during the 2009-10 season. He missed most of the 2010-11 season due to a concussion and then had eight goals and 10 assists in 62 games for Toronto last season. We are very pleased to bring a player like Matthew back to our team, said Coyotes general manager Don Maloney. Matthew is a very strong skater who will add quickness and skill to our lineup. He is an intelligent center who will be a great addition to our team and provides us with added depth at the center position. The 30-year-old Lombardi has 97 goals and 157 assists in 508 NHL games, including a stint with the Flames. He's also played in 40 career playoff games, posting three goals and 13 assists. The Coyotes have been actively seeking forward help over the offseason, particularly scorers to help make up for the loss of 2011-12 leading point man Ray Whitney, who signed with the Stars in free agency.

…none other than our business neighbor, GlobalFoundries. In an article that appeared in The Business Review on December 31st, 2012, "GlobalFoundries approved for $1B loan to export manufacturing equipment to Germany"
"The Export-Import Bank of the United States has approved a $1.03 billion loan to computer chip manufacturer GlobalFoundries to export chip-making equipment to Germany.
The bank said in a release that the loan would support 9,700 tech jobs. Exporters from California, Massachusetts and Oregon will be involved in the transaction, according to the bank."
This article leads me to believe GlobalFoundries is growing their business in Europe as well. With this in mind, I will extend my "Congratulations to our global business neighbor, and wish them a very prosperous New Year!"
I would also like to take this opportunity to wish all of the readers of the Malta blog a very safe, happy, and prosperous New Year! May 2013 be a banner year for you and your families.
If you plan to venture out today, please drive safely and patiently.
Happy New Year!

Errant drone near DC almost met by fighter jets
Military almost scrambled fighter jets for errant drone near DC, renewing air safety worries
The U.S. military almost launched fighter jets and discussed a possible shoot-down when an errant Navy drone briefly veered into restricted airspace near the nation's capital last month, a senior military official said Thursday.
The incident underscores safety concerns with unmanned aircraft as defense officials campaign to use them more often during natural disasters and for homeland security.
Navy Adm. James Winnefeld Jr., head of Northern Command, said Thursday that the August mishap could hamper the Pentagon's push to have the Federal Aviation Administration ease procedures for drone use by the military in domestic skies.
"It certainly doesn't help our case any time there's a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) that wanders around a little bit outside of its controlled airspace," said Winnefeld, who also is commander of the North American Aerospace Defense Command. "We realize the responsibility on our part to include the technical capability and proper procedures. We'd just like to be able to get at it quicker."
Currently drones are used for patrols and surveillance along the nation's southern border, and sometimes at the northern border. But the military wants to use them more during hurricanes and other disasters to evaluate damage or target rescue efforts.
In related news, the Wall Street Journal reports, "U.S. and Mexican officials say the Pentagon's Northern Command, the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies are discussing what aviation, surveillance and intelligence assets could be used—both inside Mexico and along the border—to help counter the drug cartels."
As part of the review, Homeland Security is working with the Air Force to identify the most useful military surveillance technology for monitoring land, sea and air traffic along the border. U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Juan A. Muñoz-Torres said the technologies under consideration include "sensored manned aircraft and ground-based sensors" in addition to unmanned aerial drones.
In August, Mr. Obama signed a law that provides $600 million for new border technology—including two new Predator unmanned aerial vehicles—and additional Border Patrol, customs and law-enforcement agents. By the end of September, around 1,200 members of the National Guard are expected to be deployed to the southwestern border region to support the Border Patrol and other law-enforcement agencies.
A former senior U.S. counternarcotics official said intelligence from the few Predator drones flying along the border is being shared with Mexican authorities. Far more surveillance is needed, officials say."We need to give credit to what President [Felipe] Calderón's doing taking on this issue," the official said. "But someone's going to have to come to the realization that there is a war going on down there and they're going to need help in combating that war."
Winnefeld says he is interested in "slower, lighter aircraft" to patrol the U.S. skies, according to AOL News.
A light aircraft or even a fast helicopter, Winnefeld argued, would fill in a crucial gap in capabilities, particularly when it comes to intercepting other small aircraft.
In the nine years since 9/11, NORAD has focused on having F-16s on alert and ready to be scrambled to intercept aircraft that may pose a potential threat. But a slow-flying light aircraft would be more useful than an F-16 in cases where the military is unsure of the intent of an aircraft flying off course or in restricted airspace.
The FAA has been working for some time on new regulations governing the use of drones, but has yet to complete them. And the August incident brought one of the FAA's key concerns to bear — the prospect that remote operators can lose communications with the aircraft.
Drones routinely operate in war zones, such as Iraq and Afghanistan, where there is much less business jet or small plane traffic. FAA officials say there is a greater danger of collisions with such smaller aircraft in the U.S., particularly when drones are flying at lower altitudes away from large cities and airports, in areas where planes aren't required to have transponders or collision warning systems.
In such cases, according to the FAA, it is more important for pilots to be able to see each other and take action.
Winnefeld said he was in the operations center watching when controllers lost the link to their Navy MQ-8B Fire Scout during a test at the naval air station at Patuxent River, Md., and it flew into the capital region's restricted airspace.
"Do you let it fly over the national capital region? Let it run out of gas and hopefully crash in a farmer's field? Or do you take action and shoot it down?" said Winnefeld. "You don't want to shoot it down over a populated area if you can avoid it. We were going through all of that calculus."
As the fighter jets were about to be launched, he said, the Navy was able to reprogram the helicopter-like craft and bring it back.
Winnefeld said he agrees with the need for airspace safety, but maintains there is great demand for the drones and the military should be able to get them into the air more quickly when needed.
"We can't move quickly enough for me to solve this problem," Winnefeld said. "We need to push forward into getting the technology and the permission and the comfort level up to where we can do this as a matter of routine. This is where the future is going."
Speaking to defense reporters, Winnefeld said discussions are continuing with the FAA to find ways to streamline the approval process. At the same time, he said the Defense Department also must address FAA's safety concerns by insuring that the drones have the software and systems necessary to fly safely.
He also said he is considering the need for a slower and lighter piloted aircraft that could be used during events such as outdoor sports games, political conventions or inaugural activities. The high-flying F-16 fighter jets are too fast for some missions.
While his review is only just beginning, Winnefeld said there may be a need for an aircraft that can fly much more slowly and at lower levels to monitor events. He said he'd like to have some answers within a year.

The arm's length amount of debt in the transfer pricing rules: Fiction or forgotten?
Published on 01 Apr 14 by "THE TAX SPECIALIST" JOURNAL ARTICLE
The overlap of Australia's new transfer pricing laws with the thin capitalisation rules is causing challenges and likely duplication of analysis for taxpayers — particularly for the arm's length amount of debt test. This article provides an overview of recent transfer pricing developments, outlines other related tax developments, including the current Board of Taxation review of the thin capitalisation arm's length debt test, and analyses the interaction of the transfer pricing laws with the thin capitalisation rules.
The article concludes with an analysis of the consequences for taxpayers, including the recommended three-step economic analysis, additional documentation requirements and related penalties exposure.
