text: I started playing USTA league tennis in April as a 3.0 player. I had played tennis at the age of 10-13 as something to do to pass time in between baseball. I am now 27 and had a 14 year layoff from tennis. I never played highschool tennis, nor did I ever win any of the tournaments in my age group. My local league coordinator told me to play as a 3.0. This year in local league play, I won every match except 2. I played in mixed doubles (6-1) and in combo doubles (4-1). Both losses came at the state level of competition. I did play in several 3.0 tournaments, never winning any, but making it to the finals twice. I ended with a 14-10 tournament record. After the rankings came out this year, I noticed that my 10 losses all came against players who were bumped up. 10 of the 14 wins in tourny play came against people who did not get bumped up. Now, we are in December and I have been playing every day.....sometimes as much as 5-8 hours a day. The last two local tournaments have not had a 3.0draw, so I have played in the 4.0 draw. Both times reaching the finals and once winning. The last two times I have played 3.0 players I have won 6-1, 6-0 in both matches. USTA has kept my ranking at a 3.0(T). I am pretty upset with this as I obviously wanted to move up. Are my options to stay at the 3.0 level and dominate while also playing 3.5 level tennis? Or should I play 4.0 level tennis and take my lumps even though I can beat some of the local 4.0's?

Category: World History
Description: This influenza pandemic spread widely across the world between March 1918 to June 1920. It affected primarily young, healthy adults. Unbeknownst at the time, the flu caused an overreaction of the body's immune system. The healthiest people were at greatest risk of death due to the strength of their own body's reaction to the virus. It is estimated that 10% to 20% of infected people died as a result of the flu. Current estimates hold that 50 to 100 million people worldwide were killed. [Read more…]

Ghetto Pass: Ghetto Pickup Artists
The Assimilated Negro is the issuing authority for your own personal Ghetto Pass, helping you safely navigate among the people and places of browner territories.
What many people love about the ghetto is the lack of pretense. And Ghetto Pickup Artists (GPAs) are no exception. Don't look for any of that hi-falutin' passive-aggressive "hello, what's your name, can I buy you a drink?" bullshit here. Alcohol, pot, and cocaine? Pfft! These drugs are merely crutches for those who lack the esophageal dexterity, ESL skills, and fervent faith in "love at first sight" to properly project kissing noises while also saying, "ay mami, I'm gonna have to marry you if you put anymore culo in those pants." Today we examine the ghetto's inconvenient truth: the carnal conquistadors and true alpha-romantics in the Urban Jungle of Love. So come on in all you shorties and mamacitas, the water is fine, and y'all are looking so hot I think Al Gore is going to need you regulated to prevent global warming.
Planning a Trip - Mainstream pickup scenes are boring and paint-by-numbers simple. (1) Say "hi," show interest. (2) Buy alcohol. (3) Say "cool," nod your head, and show interest. (4) Buy alcohol. (5) Repeat (2), (3), and (4) until someone says "vagina" or "penis" or some variation. (6) Laugh, introduce physical contact. (7) Repeat (2), (3), and (4) until sex sequence is initiated. For GPAs, such stuffy formality is disingenuous. They prefer to play a game of high-risk and high-reward. After all, the hit percentage may be extremely low, but if you get a response to a "*kiss, kiss* oh my god, you look good girl *hiss*," then you know two things: You're probably getting lucky, and she's probably a keeper.
Are We There Yet? - The GPA's world is more a state of mind, one that rotates on an axis of female. So unless you bring a lady on your trip, you won't be able to tell if you're in the right place. As you rove around neighborhoods, keep a close eye on her. Tell her to maintain a constant stream of talk. At the same time her voice transposes into an almost imperceptible flatline of unintelligible twaddle, you will notice her face and body begin to acquire a special sheen. Her breasts will protrude. Her booty will ripen. It will seem as if she is being prepped for a cover shoot for Maxim or King right before your eyes (remember, this is a state of mind). When you reach the point where you have absolutely no care for what she says or thinks, but just before you want to start masturbating ... Bam! There you are.
Cat-Call & Response - The basic repertoire for any GPA consists of seven approaches:
• The Staredown - Basic eye contact. Direct and aggressive.
• The Stare and Pucker - Add a scrunched-up face with puckered lips.
• The Stare and Kiss - Now add kissing noises to the pucker.
• The Stare and Hiss - Now switch to hissing sounds, alternating with kissing.
• The Religious Proclamation - "Praise Jesus girl, you are fine!"
• The Conversation/Block Escort - "Can I talk with you mami ...". Must engage for full length of block HQ.
• The Loud Conversation with a Friend - "YO RICKY, do you see this girl over here? Yeah, the pretty one that's walking all fast. You think I should talk to her?"
Here is the basic array of female responses:
• The You Don't Exist - Being ignored is technically not a rejection.
• The Fuck You Hustle (aka The FUstle) - A stiffened-up accelerated walk.
• The Stiff Smile - Heheh, um, please leave me alone.
• The Nervous Chuckle - Teehee, no seriously.
• The Cry For Help - Self-explanatory, but rarely necessary.
• The Uncomprehending Glance-over - The look says, "I don't understand this breed of man." Usually coupled with The FUstle.
• The Beaming Queen - I love it. Shower me with your praise.
General Tips
There Is One Tip: If you're in the mood for being holla'd at, then just relax and let the GPAs do their thing. If you DO NOT wish to be approached, then you are advised to remove your makeup, hair, lips, eyelashes, breasts, and buttocks. Basically look as much like a man as possible. Do not use lotion, lip-gloss, Vaseline, or anything that reflects light. A burlap sack or garbage-bag poncho to cover your body helps, as long as it's not actually raining, in which case the raindrops that fall on your exposed elbows will glisten far too much to feel secure in your undesirability.
Fun Facts
• Did you know there are no blatant homosexual pickup artists in the ghetto? All homosexual flirtations are confined to furtive glances.
• Did you know GPAs always try to express their intents as simply and directly as possible? For the more competitive types, even the utterance of a whole word may constitute failure. Eschewing the existential conundrums of questions such as "Who are you?", GPAs prefer to think in terms of hisses, kisses, clicks, whistles, ohh-la-las, aye-aye-ayes, and guttural grunts.
• Papi Chulo says, "If holla'd at properly, most beautiful women walking down the street will learn enough Spanish to pass your average 101 level college course."
• Did you know the car-honker has been put on the endangered species list? There are 15 known car-honkers remaining in the universe. If you are lucky enough to see one, or better yet, hear one, take a picture. And smile darling, you look so much better when you smile.
• Did you know that despite having different scales, GPAs can often be confused with GPA (Grade Point Average) simply because most GPAs never rate higher than a 4.0?
Ghetto Terror Alert - While aggressive and rough around the edges, GPAs are the sweetest misogynist pigs you will ever meet. They are all chivalry and corn flakes and would never hurt a single hair on your head, unless you asked them to. Let your defenses down, and you may find yourself rejuvenated via a virtual hyperbaric chamber of compliments. If no one's around to see you sacrifice your feminist dignity, it's kind of nice.
Slang Check - In a world where tall girls can be "shorties," and skinny girls can have "phatties," there is little rhyme or reason, so you are free to make up your own slang. There are an infinite number of terms for females. And there an infinite number of terms for booties. After that we all just use the universal language of love ... baby.

Intel Seeks Big Slice of Microservers
26 comments
In spite of announcing new products in both the low-power and higher-end markets, Intel finds itself in a somewhat reactive stance as well. Beyond Avoton is Denverton, a 14-nm part which isnt scheduled to come out until the end of next year or maybe beyond then, said Gwennap. So I think Intel is relying on Avoton or Denverton. I think what they want to do is assess the first generation of ARM products shipping next year and see what they need to do in order to respond to that.
Aside from the CPU, other components including switches continue to animate the dynamics of the market. Interconnect is the second biggest thing in the market after CPUs because it converts a single core in the PC into something thats more of a server class solution," said Envisioneering Group contributing analyst Peter Glaskowsky.
Coherency is very critical to the software model. Whether it will have a large number of small coherency domain or a small number of large coherency domain. This is the difference between the single memory servers we used to have and server-based clustering solutions. Clustering does have an influence on the software model. Some problems cant be effectively managed with these solutions. Microservers historically have used a clustering method to scale out.
This aspect of the technology itself poses a set of issues for Intel as well as its rivals. Coherency has its own kind of problems, Glaskowsky said.
It costs a lot of power. The coherency and interconnects question go to the heart of the problem. Some companies will be fine with the difference in software model between a single memory image model and a cluster model and some wont be fine with it and that may have a lot to do with how large the microserver market can be. If they can only address a certain part of the market then the question is how large a part of the market that is.
According to Skillern, Intel has a common instruction set that spans out of its architecture, whether commercial or open source. That consistency in our SoCs in our product line and in our architecture allows us to allow developers to easily run our software without optimization, Skillern said.
Intels advantage remains the diversity of products it has in its portfolio compared to companies using low-power SoCs to try to break into a market Intel has long dominated with its x86 architecture. Intel will likely continue to span a wider range of CPU performance than ARM, but it's these accelerators that may make the bigger difference going forward, and Intel has not been particularly dominant in that area to date, said Glaskowsky. "Broadwells big advantage is performance per core, he added. As far as performance per watt than Avoton and Denverton products will be better. I dont think Broadwell really changes anything in that regard.
Outside of microservers, it therefore seems, Intel maintains a strong position -- one that it is looking to leverage in order to break through in microservers. That is the other part of the server market, the main part, Gwennap said. Intel is continuing to dominate that part of the market. AMD hasnt put up much competition with their Opteron products. in the mainstream of the market. Haswell is moving to Broadwell next year. 2p and 4p products are based on the old products so we will see some new Ivy Bridge-based products coming out for the multi-socket market.
Nevertheless, there is one remaining problem for Intel to address: the overlap between its Atom and Xeon processors as Atom becomes more powerful moving forward. The company may need to increase the number of cores or increase its servers to compete with ARM on the lower end, and at some point that may undercut its traditional lineup.
This has always been a problem since Intel has had multiple product lines, Glaskowsky said.
The question is how do they overlap and how do you manage that overlap, since there has been something on the upper-end and something on the lower-end. Its the same question with ARM who always had the lower-performance and power level. Intel is going to have to bring up the Atom line in performance to remain competitive with ARM and that causes conflict with Xeon. Itanium was really the high end, and Intel has financial obligations to people who supported them with Itanium, like HP, but they arent putting a lot of effort into it.
In spite of any perceived weakness, the worlds leading chipmaker continues to play to its strengths. We are in our secondgeneration and we have an SoC which we believe is providing leading value in terms of performance and price, Skillern said. We are bringing product efficiency and cost efficiency across our product line.

Young American Soldier Confesses to Murder of Unarmed Afghan Civilians
Those US soldiers in Afghanistan accused of murdering Afghan civilians "for sport," which the Guardian first reported weeks ago? It took some time for US media to pick up on the story, but a leaked video confession has surfaced.
ABC News yesterday aired footage of 22-year-old Specialist Jeremy N. Morlock offering a confession to US Army investigators about the killing of an unarmed Afghan civilian in 2009. In the video, Morlock is very matter-of-fact about the event, in which he and four other soldiers stood an Afghan man up against a wall, tossed a live grenade to give the appearance of an attack on them, and "waxed" the man. Morlock said the man was unarmed, cooperating, and posed no threat to his comrades. He says the alleged ringleader of the crime, Staff Sgt. Calvin Gibbs, said to the other troops: "Hey, you guys wanna wax this guy or what?" Watch Morlock's confession:
[There was a video here]
War crimes like this have happened many times before in American theaters of war. Whether soldiers claim combat-related stress, or they are just cold-blooded killers, incidents like these only harden the views of insurgents and an already wary, and war-weary Afghan public.
Specialist Morlock appeared yesterday at an Article 32 hearing in the case. His lawyer says the taped confession should not be used because Morlock was heavily medicated at the time, according to The Seattle Times. Besides taking multiple prescription drugs, the soldiers accused in this case had all been smoking hash in Afghanistan at the time of the killings. He and four other soldiers are accused of killing three Afghan civilians and keeping body parts as mementos during their deployment. One of the accused soldiers' parents say they warned the Army and a US Senator about the unstable Staff Sgt. Calvin Gibbs, but no action was taken.
The US Army has limited the use of pictures of dead and maimed civilians for the hearings in this case for obvious reasons. With an already bloody, and widely-condemned string of errant US airstrikes in the country, images of mutilated Afghan civilians splashed across the front pages of regional newspapers will only inflame anti-American sentiment there. Col. Barry F. Huggins, in a memo via the Times wrote, "I have determined that the risk of potential prejudice to the substantive rights of the accused, as well as negative impact on the reputation of the armed forces, associated with the potential public dissemination of these images outweighs minimal hardship upon the accused as a result of this order."
Morlock, if found guilty in a court-martial, could face the death penalty.

On Thursday, families around the country will come together around the dinner table to enjoy a meal together. Thanksgiving is all about appreciating the blessings that each of us has been given. In fact, expressing gratitude is one of the chief contributors to happiness: the more we share our appreciation, the more joy we experience. The expression of gratitude is an endless circle that creates even more reasons to be thankful.
As the season of giving thanks approaches, we at WarmlyYours reflect on the many things for which we are grateful.
Men and Women of the Armed Forces
The many freedoms we enjoy are made possible by those who dedicate their lives to serving our country. Without the men and women in our military, our lives would be very different. We here at WarmlyYours would like to take the opportunity this holiday season to say thank you to our troops for their service and sacrifice.
Taking a moment to thank the service members we know is just the beginning. This year during our Veterans Day fundraising promotion, we donated $2 for every sales made from November 11 through 15 to Homes For Our Troops (HFOT), a nonprofit organization that works to provide homes for veterans with severe injuries or disabilities. The drive was a great success, and we were able to donate $344 to HFOT. This was only possible with the support of our customers. Thanks to everyone who participated in our Veterans Day promotion and helped us give back to the men and women who have sacrificed so much for us.
Another way we thank our troops is by supporting their families, who also sacrifice for our benefit. This year we are donating $270 to Smokin' T's Bar-B-Que in Long Grove, Ill. to sponsor meals for military families. Smokin' T's provides complete Thanksgiving dinners for the families of service men and women, who are currently deployed or have recently returned home. This is our second year contributing to this event. We are grateful to Smokin' T's for all the work they put into the even and that WarmlyYours can take part in recognizing military families for their often-overlooked contributions.
The Warmth of Family and Friends
At WarmlyYours, we are also grateful for those closest to us. Our family and friends support us in our daily lives, and the holidays feel warmer and brighter thanks to our loved ones.
Take time this holiday season to tell those you love just how much their presence in your life means. Whether you express your thanks face to face or write a letter, your loved ones will feel appreciated. This could be the year to start a new family tradition . Writing a small note to each of your Thanksgiving dinner guests, sharing the reasons you are glad they are a part of your life is just one way to express your gratitude. Or, you can provide notecards for your guests to write what they are thankful for this year. Then, choose a time, perhaps before sitting down to dinner or when dessert is served, for everyone to share what he or she is most thankful for.
Our Hardworking Staff
At WarmlyYours, each Thanksgiving, our employees take time to write notes of appreciation and share what we are grateful for in our lives. Here are just a few of the notes from our wonderful staff:
"Thankful for my fun and silly family!"
"I'm deeply thankful for the love and support of friends and family during times of personal loss. I am also thankful to our military, past and present, and especially to those who have given up their futures for ours."
"I am thankful that my wife said, 'I do' when we were standing at the altar and that Julia approved of me working remotely."
--Matt C.
"I am extremely thankful for second chances. It is rare that you can leave a position at a company and still have a home when that other opportunity doesn't pan out. This leads me to also be thankful for the environment that I get to work in everyday. It is actually easy for me to wake up for work each day because I know I'm going to make an impact and have a good time with friends while doing so. I am thankful for all of the good people at WarmlyYours as they are what add the character and excitement to what could otherwise be a dull bank of cubicles.
"This year has truly been such a journey.... a time for reflection, for sure. I am so thankful for my health and my family and friends. I am truly blessed beyond measure for everything and every person I have experienced and encountered in my life."
--Kerilyn M.
Our Wonderful Customers
And, of course, we are truly grateful for you, our customers. Thank you for your ongoing support, which motivates us to continually seek new ways to grow, improve, and serve you better. We wish you and your families the warmth of love, gratitude and joy this season.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Deforestation ban working in Costa Rica
Costa Rica's ban on clearing of "mature" forests appears to be effective in encouraging agricultural expansion on non-forest lands, finds a study published today in the journal Environmental Research Letters.
The research, which was led by Matthew Fagan of Columbia University, is based on analysis of satellite data calibrated with visits to field sites in the lowlands of northern Costa Rica.
The study found that since Costa Rica implemented its ban on conversion of mature forests in 1996, the annual rate of old-growth forest loss dropped 40 percent despite an agricultural boom in the region. The results suggest that Costa Rica is intensifying agricultural production while simultaneously sparing forests.
"We observed that following the ban, mature forest loss decreased from 2.2 percent to 1.2 percent per year, and the proportion of pineapple and other export-oriented cropland derived from mature forest declined from 16.4% to 1.9%," the researchers write. "The post-ban expansion of pineapples and other crops largely replaced pasture, exotic and native tree plantations, and secondary forests."
Fagan and colleagues observed that the ban seemed to be particularly effective at discouraging large-scale or industrial agriculture in mature forest areas. It was less successful in stopping conversion for cattle pasture.
"We conclude that forest protection efforts in northern Costa Rica have likely slowed mature forest loss and succeeded in re-directing expansion of cropland to areas outside mature forest," they write. "Our results suggest that deforestation bans may protect mature forests better than older forest regrowth and may restrict clearing for large-scale crops more effectively than clearing for pasture."
While those findings may seem counter-intuitive since large-scale crops are considerably more profitable than cattle ranching, they are consistent with trends emerging elsewhere. One possible explanation is industrial agricultural operations — chiefly pineapples and bananas in northern Costa Rica — require substantial capital investment, making the their owners less willing to risk easily-detectable illegality (satellite imagery is a useful law enforcement tool for large-scale land use). Furthermore, because their crops are destined for export markets, where environmental concerns and issues like traceability loom large, pineapple and banana growers avoid chopping down rainforests for farmland. In contrast, many cattle ranchers are relatively small operators, whose product is consumed locally, providing less of an incentive to respect the deforestation ban. Similar developments have been observed with soy and cattle production in parts of the Brazilian Amazon.

Background Info.
Shishio makoto was born on a dark night in Sunagakure. Shishio grew up all alone because his parents never had time for him. At the age of 15 shishio was on a mission with his mother. When out of nowhere 4 rogue ninja appeared. This was shishio's first time in real battle and he was excited but his mother told him to not get involved. Shishio was really disappointed because he wanted to test his abilities. His mother looked at him in the eyes and told him that his time will come. His mother attacks the 4 ninjas but she failed and was killed easily. Shishio was crying and devastated. He couldn't believe it. One of the 4 ninja told him that he will let him live but that the day he grows into a man he would have to fight him and kill him. Shishio looked at the man and told him that he one day will kill all 4 of them. The other ninja's smiled and said we can't wait kid.
When Shishio returned to Sunagakure everyone was happy to see him alive but he told the bad news to everyone. One of the village leaders came up to him and gave him more bad news. The man told him that his father was killed in battle. Shishio was devastated. when shishio returned on that day to his house he said that he will kill everyone that gets on his way.Two days later shishio decided that power and hate was the answer and he started to hate everyone. Three years later he was on a mission but he didn't fallow instructions and he went to find the four ninja. Once he found them he challenged them to battle but he was still weak. The four ninja burned his entire body and was left on the ground. A day later he was found by some of the Suna shinobi and was taken back to the village.

SUMMERFIELD, Fla. - Marion County deputies arrested a Summerfield man Monday afternoon after they say he chased his neighbor around the yard with a rusty machete in a fit of jealousy over his girlfriend.
Police say Juan Ortiz, 55, became irate after he saw his neighbor, speaking to his girlfriend, which prompted him to jump his fence and chase his neighbor with a rusty machete while yelling, "I am going to kill you." The victim ran from Ortiz and retreated into his own house, where he called 911.

Ortiz's girlfriend, Ellisha Ross, 28, told deputies that Ortiz lives with her at her home on Southeast 173rd Street. She said she was picking up the mail when she saw Ortiz's neighbor and decided to say hello.

As part of the article I have a nice table with list prices for 8 nodes and 128 nodes for the various interconnects. It should be out in the May issue so be sure to look for it.

While their sister was an unforgettable singer, Natalie Cole's family is concerned her 2016 Grammy Award tribute was less than memorable.
The "This Will Be" singer succumbed to "complications from ongoing health issues" and passed away at 65 years old on New Year's Eve. She joined a mournful list of other stars lost in the past few months, including rock star David Bowie, Earth, Wind, and Fire's Maurice White and The Eagles' Glenn Frey.
Though all four names were featured in the annual award ceremony's In Memoriam section among dozens of other industry greats, additional performances were arranged to give extra recognition to White, Frey, Bowie and B.B. King, who had passed away in May. Cole's famous family took notice of their sister's commemorative absence.
"Where is the tribute to our sister?" Cole's sister Timolin Cole told Page Six before the show. "We were hoping that there will be some sort of actual tribute to her fitting of her artistry and stature...She was such a force in the music industry and she transcended genres ... I think she should be recognized for the impact she has had."
The ceremony did recognize Cole as the final musician featured in the pre-packaged segment. The slideshow ended with a clip from Natalie's 1992 Grammy duet with her deceased father, Nat King Cole, as they performed the classic "Unforgettable" together digitally.
Still, family and fans alike insisted it wasn't enough to honor the fallen star. Many noted it was a particularly strange choice considering Cole was a nine-time Grammy winner and had been nominated 21 times, winning more golden statues than both Frey and Bowie.

Summer film series engages residents in film analysis
As a way to escape the heat and offer entertainment, Bonnie Strongin started a summer film series called movieSPEAK.
The idea of movieSPEAK began in Strongin's literature classroom where she taught literary analysis for 34 years. As she taught, Strongin would show films and have the class interact, participating in discussion about the films.
When Strongin moved to Bluffton in 2004, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute program at University of South Carolina Beaufort asked Strongin to teach a course in film analysis. The course of movieSPEAK has moved to Coligny Theatre, but also takes place at Sun City.
"I introduce the film and give the audience production notes and things to look for," Strongin said. "Throughout the movie, I'll point out things to look for in the audio and visual. Also, I'll tell them of acting notes, such as if an actor looks downward it usually means they're sad or disappointed."
In Sun City, movieSPEAK showed four films beginning in June with the movie, The Town starring Ben Affleck. The other movies shown were "It's Complicated", "The Fighter", "The King's Speech" and most recently "Billy Elliot." Attendance for the film discussion brought on average 45 residents who interacted with Strongin to discuss certain aspects of the films.
"I enjoyed being in the audience because it was fun and Bonnie makes it that way," Andie Levine said. "She is an intelligent woman and the audience participated in her friendly conversation. Bonnie is well spoken and a great teacher."
The summer film series will conclude with "A Few Good Men" which will show at the Haven on Sept. 24.
"I saw 'The Town' and Bonnie basically breaks the movie down in terms of things that you don't normally pay attention to while watching," Steven Dutka said. "She brings your attention to little nuisances of why it is presented the way it is. It enhances your enjoyment of why the directors make the movie." While the movie is being shown, Strongin teaches the audience to look past the plot and entertainment aspect of the film. The audience is to pay attention to things like the way the lighting changes when a villain appears or why the director chose rain to be the weather.
"Bonnie helps me understand more deeply about the words and other nuisances of the movies," Deena Shontow said.
MovieSPEAK creates not only a place for the audience to watch award-winning films, but to discuss why it won awards. It is a way to think deeper instead of just watching a film for entertainment.
"I liked that when Bonnie is giving information about the film and explains more about the human behavior in the film," Bonnie Cohen said. "Personally I don't always get that, but movieSPEAK delves into understanding it. I also love that she explains film techniques about different shots the director takes and lighting."
Strongin will continue her film analysis discussions at the Haven through the fall season with some new releases like The Hunger Games and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen.
"Film has always been a passion. It transports you. It pulls a thread from our human tapestry and forces us to consider, question, reflect, and learn about the world around us," Strongin said.

Summaries of EU Legislation

Interim report on the single market in the 21st century
The preliminary report to the 2007 Spring European Council looks at the single market and presents the European Commission's vision of it for the 21st century. It describes an initial set of guidelines, with the aim of initiating a full review of the single market as well as stimulating additional proposals for action.
Communication from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions issued 21 February 2007 - "A single market for citizens - interim report to the 2007 Spring European Council" [COM (2007) 60 final - not published in the Official Journal].
This interim report presents a vision of the 21st century single market. The single market represents one of the greatest and most tangible successes of the European Union (EU). It enables Europe to benefit from a more dynamic and competitive economy, where social rights are guaranteed alongside high standards of health, safety and the environment.
The single market makes consumers and businesses equal winners:
- Consumers benefit from a wider choice of products and services at lower prices and with higher levels of quality/safety;
- Businesses operate within a common set of rules and benefit from a market which has 500 million consumers.
Nevertheless, the reality of the single market is constantly developing: it will never be "finalised", nor will it be "complete". On the contrary, it is necessary to confront the new types of barriers and challenges (globalisation, structural developments, EU expansion, etc.) that emerge as markets develop. To do this, the single market of the 21st century is expected to make markets work better and deliver even greater tangible benefits to European citizens in an enlarged European Union.
A vision for the 21st century
The real challenge for the single market in the 21st century is to adapt the application of the existing regulatory framework and to respond appropriately to the dynamism of the world economy. The document identifies six key aspects:
- a single market for consumers and citizens Benefits for consumers need to be even more tangible, within a framework of significant enhanced protection and quality for European products and services as well as for imports;
- a single market for an integrated economy A single integrated market is essential to ensure fair and effective competition among businesses. A greater role for SMEs, creation of a European labour market, the spread of the use of the euro, more significant pan-European financial markets and investment in trans-European networks contribute to the further integration of the European economy;
- a single market for a knowledge society Markets for highly knowledge- and technology-intensive goods and services need to be supported by confronting their fragmentation;
- a single market for a well regulated Europe Now is the time to examine how all rules applicable throughout the whole Community are implemented, check if they are having the desired effects and, if necessary, make the required changes;
- a single market for a sustainable Europe It is vital to both recognise and support the social and environmental aspects of the single market, by anticipating and supporting the process of globalisation;
- a single market open to the world Europe must continue to act as a global standard-setter in the commercial and investment sectors.
Making the vision a reality
In order to make the vision of the single market a reality, the EU will make more efficient and consistent use of a range of instruments from various policy domains (domestic market, competition, tax and customs, etc.), reducing unnecessary administration costs.
The EU will need to adopt new approaches, which will benefit from a greater evaluation of the requirements of those within the single market and of the social impact of further integration.
Given the increased diversity in a Union of 27 Member States, it will be advisable to use a range of diverse and flexible instruments (harmonisation - mutual recognition, directives - regulations), with greater reliance on networks and by enhancing the ownership of the single market in the Member States.
The opportunities of the single market need to be better communicated and more accessible to citizens, businesses and local and regional authorities. Furthermore, priorities for the single market need to be linked to the global agenda, including the recent round of bilateral trade negotiations.
The EU will have recourse to the neighbourhood policy; it will reinforce benchmarking and bilateral cooperation on rules and will ensure that consumers benefit properly from the openness to global markets.
The annex to the Communication contains actual examples of what the single market has accomplished.
This interim report aims to present the guidelines for an in-depth review and a new vision for the single market of the future. It is based on the findings of a public consultation, "Eurobarometer" polls and a public hearing as well as on input from other EU institutions. A full review of the single market, based on various studies and analyses, will be completed before the end of 2007.
Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions - The European Interest: Succeeding in the age of globalisation - Contribution of the Commission to the October Meeting of Heads of State and Government [COM (2007) 581 final - not published in the Official Journal].
This Communication, produced as part of the preparation for the informal meeting held on 18 and 19 October 2007 with Heads of State and Government, indicates the course Europe should follow in order to deal with globalisation and reveals how the Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Jobs represents the cornerstone of its approach.

Red Sox-O's rained out; day-night twin bill Saturday
Lester to start Game 1 at Fenway, with Lackey scheduled to pitch in nightcap
By Ian Browne / MLB.com
BOSTON -- The Red Sox got a rare July 4 off-day after Friday's game against the Orioles was postponed due to inclement weather associated with Tropical Storm Arthur.
The teams will instead play a day-night doubleheader at Fenway Park on Saturday, with Game 1 at 1:05 p.m. ET, and the regularly scheduled game serving as the 7:15 p.m. nightcap.
Fans who had tickets for Friday can use them for Game 1 on Saturday.
Ace lefty Jon Lester will pitch Game 1 for Boston, followed by John Lackey in Game 2.
The only ramification the rainout has on Boston's rotation is that the club will now need to find a starter for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, as both Lester and Lackey won't be available until Thursday.
Rubby De La Rosa, who did a stellar job filling in as a starter when Clay Buchholz was on the disabled list, could be a candidate. So, too, could lefty Felix Doubront, who was recently moved to the bullpen.
"Again, we haven't taken a look at everything," said manager John Farrell. "We'll need an additional pitcher even if we choose to spot start somebody, so we'll figure that out as we get through the weekend."
The Red Sox had a scheduled off-day Thursday, meaning they will be well-rested when they take the field for the doubleheader.
The first game will be televised on NESN, with Game 2 a national game on FOX.
Given the forecast, there never seemed like much of a chance that Friday's 1:35 p.m. matinee would be played, and it was called around 10 a.m.
Most of the players at least got in a light workout before going home to spend the holiday with their families.
"Everyone was here," Farrell said. "There was certainly enough talk even throughout the day [Thursday] as I reached out to a few guys that this was a possibility today. But everyone was here and guys got their throwing in that needed to."
The Red Sox will be able to add a player to the roster for Game 2 on Saturday, though Farrell said that player has yet to be determined.

Philippines hosts INTERPOL workshop on the prevention of illicit trafficking in cultural property
MANILA, Philippines – More than 80 participants from a range of Philippine government agencies, police and customs services, cultural institutions and the private sector attended a workshop on the prevention of illicit trafficking of cultural property, jointly organized by the INTERPOL General Secretariat and the Philippine National Museum with the support of the Philippine National Police.
The three-day course (1-3 October) covered a range of topics, including international legal instruments, types of cultural property particularly at risk of theft and illicit trafficking, specific working methods and investigation techniques, including the effective use of INTERPOL's tools and services, with participants conducting practical exercises using INTERPOL's stolen works of art database through its public online access.
In addition to local experts and specialists from the General Secretariat's Works of Art Unit, law enforcement officials from Switzerland, Italy, the United States of America and Vietnam, as well as UNESCO's office in Bangkok also shared their experience with the participants.
Executive Director of the Philippine Center on Transnational Crime, and representing the INTERPOL National Central Bureau in Manila, Mr Felizardo M Serapio Jr welcomed the organization of this workshop as an excellent initiative. "We shall pursue our efforts in capacity building both in the Philippines and the region in order to better protect our cultural heritage and to combat its illicit trafficking more effectively", he said.
The organization of this workshop in the Philippines, currently considering accession to the 1970 UNESCO Convention (Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural, Property), was funded by the Swiss government whose Embassy in Manila provided significant logistical support.

I have KVM installed and set up Windows 2K on that. But unfortunately Windows 2K can only support up to IE6 and I don't have a XP install disk. I did set up Windows 8 Developer Edition, which is free, on KVM and my sutra worked well on that. I did a post on this forum asking for people to test and some did. But since then I have made some changes to it. Here is a link to it:maybay wrote:IE is the last program I'd try run on Wine, not least because browsers are cutting edge and security sensitive. Its also the last thing Microsoft designed it for. You'd need to check dll's carefully and understand a bit more about Wine than usual.
Better still, if you have more than 2gigs of RAM, install VirtualBox and setup Windows in that. USB support wasn't so good last time I checked.
By the way what format is the sutra in that it needs testing on IE? You got a link?

It's about as lightweight as Openbox.
I'm going to university to study Software Engineering and I need a new laptop (my current one overheats really easily and the battery is awful). Any recommendations for one, bearing in mind I will be using Linux? I was looking at this Thinkpad (Thinkpad T520). It looks very good and I am close to buying it due to the current sale.
I'm a noob to linux, and I want to dual boot a linux distro and W7 once I get around to building my computer. Which distro should I use and what would be the install order?
Or just use a VM, much less hassle.
So GRUB would install over windows bootloader, correct?
Is Linux Mint a good distro to start with?
Alright, I'm first installing arch on a craptop. However I want to use the onboard VM that came with my usb installer. Will ~450MB of RAM be enough to run XP and virtualize arch?
Well, it wasn't but that's fine. I'm just gonna do a complete fresh start, everything must go.
I have limited screen space on my netbook, so I want to configure awesome to always open Google Chrome so that it covers the entire screen. Not "full screen" because that gets rid of the tabs. What do I put in my config such that the window is resized to fill the screen?
Firefox has an option which allows you to prevent tab hiding when going into "full screen". Chrome doesn't?
Do you have Tahoma and Lucida Console?
Usually it detects it automatically. I know ubuntu does this pretty well. Mint should do the same. If mine is using the same autodetect scripts as ubuntu you don't need to worry.
Augh, dwm looks so sweet but I can't seem to configure it properly and to my likings (probably because I never used tiling window managers).
Awesome is a great tiling wm to start with.
I've been using Ubuntu for a while now, but recently I decided I want to try out another Linux distro. Is Fedora a good one, or do you Facepunchers recommend something else? I'm looking for a distro with the least content, but with something I can use to get software ala YUM.
I mean that's the first thing probably anyone here will answer
Look at this article:
The grammar is perfect, its arguments are completely valid and backed up by real facts.
This guy is a retard...
if that's not a troll just leave him alone
Honestly, can't people just collectively decide that both OS's serve different purposes and audiences?
Well, I tried installing Arch on my actual PC, instead of just using a VM. I did everything right, but I messed up when I tried to install the bootloader, so instead of going to GRUB and giving me a choice, it just boots straight to Windows.
If you put the arch CD back in you can fix this fairly easily.
You should be able to start the grub command line utility
From there you'll need to run these:Code:grub
Here's you'll need to swap A for the disk you want to install grub to (usually 0)Code:root (hdX,Y) setup (hdA)
You'll also need to replace X and Y by the disk number and partition number of your /boot partition (if you don't have one use the / partition)
Remember that grub counts disks and partitions starting from 0. So sda1 is (hd0,0) and so on.
If you're unsure of the partition number you can find it in the grub command line utility
You can run this before the stuff I posted above (in the grub command line util) you then need to replace (hdX,Y) with what the find command gave you. Also, you'll probably want to replace (hdA) with (hd0) since its you'll most likely want grub on the mbr of the first disk.Code:# If you have a /boot partition find /grub/stage1 # otherwise find /boot/grub/stage1
This may also help, if my explanations are confusing: http://orgs.man.ac.uk/documentation/...ub_3.html#SEC9

It sounded to me like Rob was responding to "girls getting their Edward fix" by saying it's not exactly enjoyable seeing/hearing Edward during the brief glimpses. He says it's disturbing because Bella "is going crazy." I guess Rob doesn't see the romantic aspect of Bella hearing Edward's voice when she's in danger.
I don't know, but I hope he doesn't really want Edward to come off as disturbing. That's all wrong.

text: I dicked around this morning, got gas and headed North on hwy 25. It wasn't overly warm and, as I got a late start, the intention was to make a mile, hoping it would warm up down the road. I got about 10 miles, and saw a sign for a mining museum. Colorado and mining? Sounds good, and I took the off ramp to the museum.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o> <o></o> The staff was real nice, but when I made a joke about jackleg drills, they didn't get what I was talking about. I guess you don't have to be a miner to volunteer in a mining museum J<o></o> <o></o> It was set up pretty nice, and had lots of cool exhibits. Lots of stuff from the "steam engine" era.<o></o> <o></o> <o></o> <o></o> Predecessor to the "jackleg"<o></o> <o></o> <o></o> <o></o> Engineering office<o></o> <o></o> <o></o> <o></o> Assay Lab<o></o> <o></o> <o></o> I wandered around outside, and checked out some of the bigger equipment<o></o> <o></o> Steam Shovel<o></o> <o></o> <o></o> You could fit 2 of these into a modern Shovel bucket<o></o> <o></o> While I was outside, I got talking to Tom, a fellow with a long history with the museum, but had only been volunteering for a short while. He was quite interested in my bike and wanted to check it out.<o></o> <o></o> We got talking, and I told him I was from Canada and had worked in underground and surface mines for about 20 years. He was quite excited about that, and we started talking mining. He got the key and opened up the Stamp mill and took me for a look around<o></o> <o></o> <o></o> Stamp Mill <o></o> <o></o> <o></o> Water Wheel (they used high pressure water to generate electricity)<o></o> <o></o> <o></o> He introduced me to Brad, the curator ( I think) of the museum, and we talked mining some more.<o></o> <o></o> When I hit the road, the sun had come out and it was warming up slightly.<o></o> <o></o> The traffic thru Denver was heavy, and moving fast. Denver is a lot bigger than I had thought. Fortunately I all I had to do was stay on the highway and try to avoid slowing traffic down.<o></o> <o></o> I stopped at a rest area just North of Cheyenne, and while I was there, I checked my chain. It was stretching a bit, and I was about out of adjustment. I had robbed the chain off my chopper and for some reason or another, I had an extra masterlink on the chain (probably because my chopper needs a pretty long chain) The plan was that I could remove one masterlink if needed , and I figured this was a good time to do it.<o></o> I had quite a few people come to check on me to make sure everything was ok, and one guy even offered me a bottle of water, as it had warmed up to pretty warm by then.<o></o> <o></o> I got it all buttoned up, and got on the road, and not long after that, the bike started missing. I pulled off on a long and lonesome stretch of highway to check the plugs.<o></o> <o></o> <o></o> Long and lonesome highway<o></o> <o></o> <o></o> The front plug was carboned up a bit, so I cleaned it up and pulled the rear (I have never actually had the rear out before ) and it was looking the same way. I cleaned it up, planning on buying plugs when I got a chance. I went to install the rear plug, and couldn't get it started. I took a look and the threads in the head were a bit chewed up.<o></o> <o></o> Crap<o></o> <o></o> This doesn't look good. I cleaned the threads up, got the plug to start, but it wouldn't go in all the way. Not wanting to force it and screw the threads more than they were, I snugged it up a bit, veeerrryyyy carefully, put on the lead and it fired up. I asked a trucker who was parked on the other side of the highway how far it was to the next town. Not far, so away I went, slowly, with my left foot on the crashbar, keeping my leg out of the way, just in case. I went at well under the posted speed limit to Wheatland. I got a room and asked if there was an auto parts store nearby. At the store I asked for a thread chaser and plugs, and they were pretty concerned that the thread chaser wouldn't be enough, and looked to see if they had the right heli coil. I told them, over and over, that the threads should clean up ok, and that I was less than excited about installing a heli coil with the head on ( and not all that crazy about pulling the head)<o></o> <o></o> Finally, when they didn't have the right heli coil, and after calling all over to try to find one, I told them I would take the thread chaser, plugs and some grease (to lube to thread chaser and catch any filings) and if it didn't work I would come back and order the heli coil tomorrow. Nice guys, very helpful……. maybe a bit TOO helpful J<o></o> <o></o> The threads cleaned up nicely, I installed the new plugs…. carefully…., and tomorrow I will install a safety wire (these things have blown plugs out before, on "un" messed up heads)<o></o> <o></o> If it makes it home like this, (it's an adventure, right?) I will pull the head and fix it properly with an insert this winter.<o></o> <o></o> <o></o> If it doesn't hold together, well, I have a cell phone and a credit card………….. J<o></o> <o></o> (I might just pick up a heli coil kit and headgasket as well, just in case J )<o></o>

Hurricane Watches Issued as Arthur Strengthens and Closes in on N.C.
Hurricane watches and tropical storm warnings are in effect as Tropical Storm Arthur continues to gather organization and strength as it swirls towards the Carolina coast. Meteorologists expect it Arthur hit coastal North Carolina as a hurricane with winds around 80 MPH on Thursday night.
After barely drifting over the past couple of days, Arthur finally started to move today as the trough in the jet stream draws closer and provides the storm some steering. The latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center has a 60 MPH Tropical Storm Arthur churning about 105 miles northeast of Cape Canaveral, Florida as it slowly moves to the north at 7 MPH.
The forecast track has Arthur making a brief landfall on North Carolina's Outer Banks sometime after midnight on Friday as a category 1 hurricane with winds around 80 MPH. Coastal areas of South and North Carolinas will feel tropical storm force winds before the center hits, prompting the issuance of tropical storm warnings from the N.C./S.C. border to the N.C./V.A. border.
The main hazards with Arthur include:
- A dangerous storm surge of 2 to 4 feet along the North Carolina coast where the strong winds occur, with a smaller surge expected elsewhere.
- 1 to 2 inches of rain are possible, with isolated amounts of up to 4 or more inches of rain possible when Arthur makes landfall.
- Wind damage is likely in the communities that receive hurricane-force winds.
- Life-threatening rip currents are already occurring along the Florida coast, and they will spread northward to South Carolina by this afternoon according to the NHC. Rip currents are a hazard up and down the east coast this weekend as Arthur heads north.
Meteorologically, Arthur looks a little more compact and well-organized than it did last night. Sometime after midnight the storm began to develop an eye on both radar and satellite imagery, which has remained ever since. Radar and satellite show that the storm is asymmetric, with almost all of the precipitation confined to the eastern and southern side of the storm.
The storm should continue to organize into a hurricane over the next day or two as it approaches the coast, reaching its peak during or just after its encounter with North Carolina, before racing off to the northeast and threatening Atlantic Canada as a powerful storm later this weekend.
The next advisory from the National Hurricane Center will come out at 5 PM Eastern.

"The Bells does for the ears what Perfume did for the nose. A novel to engage the senses as well as tickle the mind."Sarah Dunant
"Born in a belfry in the Uri Valley of the Swiss Alps, where his deaf-mute mother rang the Loudest Bells on Earth, Moses Froben possesses both a remarkably sensitive ear and an exquisite singing voice, enabling him to overcome his humble origins to become Lo Suizzero the musical toast of Europe in the 18th century. In papers left for the son he raised but did not sire, Froben recounts being rescued from his father's murderous plan by monks Nicolai and Remus and taken to their abbey, where the choirmaster recognizes the boy's gift and goes to inhumane lengths to preserve it. In the neighboring town, Moses meets Amalia Duft, daughter of the area's wealthiest man, whose love becomes a beacon for his life even after his castration. Taking few liberties with history, Harvell has fashioned an engrossing first novel ringing with sounds; a musical and literary treat."Booklist
