Most entrepreneurs, and members of any small team, naively assume that the key to their success is hard work, dedication, and long hours in the business. In reality, their effectiveness is usually more related to how well they develop their work relationships with peers and business leaders. First they need to decipher correctly every relationship as a workship, friendship, or foe.
Workships, according to workplace expert Dr. Jan Yager, refers to those workplace relationships that haven't yet developed into full-blown friendships, but are closer than mere acquaintances. In her classic book on this subject, "Who's That Sitting at My Desk?" she explains the importance of mastering work relationships, and provides specific guidance on building the right ones.
It behooves all entrepreneurs and team members to recognize the positives and negatives of each type of relationship. More importantly, we all need to develop the right relationships, and actively avoid those types that are not right for the business, or not right for our career at a particular point in time. Here are the key ones I have experienced, as paraphrased from her book:
In summary, entrepreneurs need to be especially perceptive and sensitive to business and personal relationships, since they normally work with small, closely-knit teams, on innovative and highly unstructured environments. The quality of relationships with customers, investors, partners, and suppliers can easily be their sustainable competitive advantage, or their death knell.
In my experience, even the best technology and business model won't succeed without successful relationships. That's why investors say they invest in people, not ideas. Starting from the top, make sure your startup has the right people, and the right relationships with each other. If you don't, you too may soon find someone else sitting at your desk.

Dear Sean,
It was nice to meet you at WBC. I'm sorry that we didn't get a chance to talk more. The video diaries and documentary kept us very busy. You can find the video diaries we recorded online at YouTube's Wine Bloggers Channel. We were proud to be a part of such a great event bringing together a cadre of incredibly talented people.
Because I don't work with Washington wines, I know we probably won't have the opportunity to collaborate on projects or posts, but I want you to know that many in the Napa/Sonoma wine communities are taking note of your blog. You're doing a fantastic job.
Our video blog can be found at http://blog.jordanwinery.com. If you have any suggestions on content, please let me know. I'd greatly appreciate the advice from a veteran.
Hope to see you in Charlottesville.
Best regards,

Fuel Tax Bill Faces Final Vote In Senate
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A bill to raise state fuel taxes by a dime a gallon is set for what could be its final vote in the Wyoming State Senate.
The bill already has passed the House and if the Senate approves it Thursday without amendment, it would head to Gov. Matt Mead for his signature.
Mead has called for higher fuel taxes to provide the Wyoming Department of Transportation and local governments with a stable source of road funding.
The bill would raise the tax from the existing rate of 14 cents a gallon up to 24 cents for gasoline and diesel. The hike would raise about $70 million a year.
Although the bill's on the Senate's agenda for Thursday, that list is subject to change.

Political Science: Stephen Dysonby Howard W. Hewitt • August 30, 2005 Share:
Dyson, BKT Assistant Professor of Political Science, came to this country five years ago to attend graduate school at Washington State University. He taught last year at St. Olaf College in Minnesota before joining the Wabash staff.
"The thing that attracted me to Wabash is obviously the strong national reputation," he said. "I wanted to teach in the liberal arts for a long time and I subscribe to the liberal arts ethos fully.
"I really like the notion of working very closely with students and establishing the type of relationships you can build in a liberal arts environment. And where is that better than Wabash College, if you want to be at a liberal arts school?"
Dyson grew up in Newcastle, England, the northeast corner of the country not far from Scotland. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Essex. His parents were both teachers. Dyson has done extensive study on British Prime Minster Tony Blair.
"Outside the classroom I like to run, read biographies and histories to get away from political science, thought that's not far off I guess," Dyson said.
Dyson said teaching is an unusual job.
"You get to do two very different things that I don't think you can combine in any other profession," he explained. "One, is you get to work very quietly and diligently in a focused fashion on sometimes very narrow subjects with your research. I find that very interesting but it also can become oppressive after a certain period of time.
"The other side of the job is that you get to be very outgoing, expansive and social in the classroom. There are two sides to the profession that I don't think you can find in any other job."
Dyson already has strong feelings about Wabash and he finds himself excited to watch the school year evolve.
"It will be fun to see how the traditions and ethos at Wabash play out on a day to day level," he said. "It's obvious from the first day you step on campus that it's a community and institution with a very strong sense of self, an almost uniquely strong sense of self. It has very, very well established tradition which sounds fascinating. And, it's such a storied college.
"I'm anxious to see how all that plays out in the lives of the students, faculty, and the staff."

Introducing Project Neon KVM
Project Neon provides daily builds of KDE modules for Kubuntu. It is an easy way to get the latest code without having to build the entire KDE-Git/SVN tree and maintain the checkout. Project Neon is unstable, but it installs alongside stable packages. It is suitable for contributors such as new developers, translators, usability designers, documenters, promoters, and bug triagers. With Project Neon, people can experiment freely without risk to a working KDE environment.
Project Neon is especially useful for reporting bugs. With its daily builds, bugs can be reported in the most timely manner. The more time that elapses between when a bug is introduced and when it is reported, the more difficult it gets to find it and fix it. With Project Neon, a bug can be reported on the same day that it is introduced.
Introducing Project Neon KVM
The Project Neon team has developed another product—Project Neon KVM Image. Users can download an image and deploy it anywhere, using KVM virtualization technology. Now Project Neon is available more widely.
Project Neon KVM is for people who use a Linux distribution other than Kubuntu or a non-Linux operating system. Without disturbing the host environment, Project Neon KVM can be used to test new KDE releases, to try out new features, or to develop something entirely new.
The image contains a bare install of Project Neon daily build packages. Project Neon KVM images are built weekly and can be downloaded directly or as a torrent. At least 2GB's of RAM are suggested to run these images. Alternatively, ubuntu-vm/run.sh in the tarball can be edited to allocate less memory to the KVM. The default username/password for the VM is 'neon' (without the quotes).
The Project Neon team is on Freenode IRC at #project-neon. Mailing list information and archive are available at https://launchpad.net/~neon.
A special thank you to Jonathan Riddell for hosting the images.
Keeping up to date...
Once we download the KVM image, will it be able to stay up to date via apt-get update/dist-upgrade, or do you have to download the KVM image every week or two?

It would be great if the debian packages would also be brushed up a little. They seem to need more love than the ubuntu ones.

Great initiative! When trunk builds become more common an application will gain stability.
Would it be possible to switch-off/auto-detect compositing in a more convenient way? With compositing activated my screen gets black.
I ran into a small issue and noticed the crash dialogue in Neon desktop, but then grabbing for the debug packages failed, virtually trashed the desktop by heavy writing on the hard disc. Why aren't for a test desktop environment as Neon debug symbols installed by default?
By André at Mon, 2012/07/30 - 10:56pm
In a virtual machine KWin
In a virtual machine KWin should fall back to XRender-based compositing. I don't see any reason why this should not work. If you can figure out what is going wrong, please report a bug.
Kind regards

KVM switches
KVM switches are popular among users who have upgraded their home PC systems and want to still use their old computers but do not want to invest in a second keyboard, monitor and mouse.

Nice idea
So more users can participate in testing. If it only worked on Debian 7.
~/ubuntu-kvm$ ./run.sh
# aptitude install qemu-kvm

Looks like its failing to insert the kvm kernel module, I am afraid you will have to figure this one out using Google.

Governor races remain tight
Montana is not only the center of attention in the struggle to control the Senate, it now has the closest gubernatorial contest heading into the final month of the campaign.
In POLITICO's second-to-last review of the most competitive gubernatorial races, the open seat fight to replace term-limited Democrat Brian Schweitzer vaults to the top, with battles in Washington and New Hampshire remaining fiercely contested.
Story Continued Below
That means whichever party wins at least two of the three of those top-tier races can claim a national victory this cycle.
Further down the list, Republicans look in good shape to pick up the North Carolina governor's mansion and Democrats are primed to defend Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin in West Virginia.
August rankings can be reviewed here.
1. Montana (up 2 spots)
Attorney General Steve Bullock has the slimmest of leads over former GOP Rep. Rick Hill, but what Democrats are more encouraged by is Bullock's 10-point advantage on personal favorability in the Mason-Dixon survey. With the airwaves completely saturated in Senate and gubernatorial ads, it could be the strength of the winds at the presidential level that ultimately determines both races. Still, there's a sense that Bullock is the better wholesale candidate and can ride some of the goodwill Schweitzer is leaving behind.
Who Won September: Bullock
Latest poll: Bullock 44%, Hill 43% (Mason-Dixon, 625 likely voters, Sept. 17-19)
2. Washington (down 1 spot)
Democrats contend that Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna has had difficulty rebounding from a series of summer stumbles, when he got tangled up on the health care ruling and toiled with a tracker, asking for his position on reproductive rights. This month, the McKenna campaign discontinued its weekly media calls, placing a strain on what were previously amicable relations with the press. McKenna also aired his first negative ad this week against Jay Inslee, who will undoubtedly benefit from the presidential headwind in this vote-by-mail state. If the race to replace Democratic Gov. Christine Gregoire is tied going into Election Day, Inslee holds an edge.
Who won September: Inslee
Latest poll: Inslee 44%, McKenna 41% (Elway Poll, 405 registered voters, Sept. 9-12)
3. New Hampshire (down 1 spot)
Does Ovide Lamontagne have his own Etch A Sketch problem? Democrat Maggie Hassan is trying to remind voters of the GOP nominee's positions on social issues to brand him as tea party — a label he proudly wore during his 2010 Senate run. Lamontagne has mostly stuck to fiscal issues, but Hassan pressed him on gay marriage and abortion during their first debate. Lamontange is bolstered by a cash-on-hand advantage, but top Republicans acknowledge that if Mitt Romney's precipitous drop in the polls continues, it could cost them a pick-up opportunity here.
Who Won September: Draw
Latest poll: Hassan 47%, Lamontagne 45% (NBC-Marist, 1,012 likely voters, Sept. 27)

By John McMullen
PHILADELPHIA - The Baltimore Ravens' coronation as Super Bowl XLVII champions puts the lid on the 2012 NFL season and is the unofficial kickoff to the league's offseason, specifically free agency and the draft.
For the 31 teams looking up at the Ravens on the mountain top, it's the first opportunity to close the gap and begin their climb toward the game's ultimate prize.
With that in mind and the Indianapolis scouting combine on the docket for later this month, it's time to take our first look at the 2013 NFL Draft set for April 25-27 in New York City's famed Radio City Music Hall.
1. Kansas City Chiefs - Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M - A lot of Andy Reid's success in Philadelphia was tied to Donovan McNabb, but don't underestimate the bookend tackles Big Red had for years in the City of Brotherly Love, Tra Thomas and Jon Runyan. The guess here is Reid doesn't think a signal-caller is worthy of the No. 1 spot, so it's either about trading down or taking Joeckel, the Aggies' left tackle who should step in and play at a high level for the next decade.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars - Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State - The Jags are concerned with their pass rush, specifically their lack of a consistent one meaning Georgia hybrid Jarvis Jones, who may be the most athletic edge player in the draft will get a long look. Werner, however, is the far more consistent and well-rounded option for Jacksonville's new management team of general manager David Caldwell and head coach Gus Bradley.
3. Oakland Raiders - Star Lotuleili, DT, Utah - The Raiders were awful against the run in 2012 and Lotuleili is the draft's best interior lineman, a strong, physical player who fits in playing multiple techniques and should develop into an elite run stuffer.
4. Philadelphia Eagles - Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia - Philadelphia needs help all over, but Chip Kelly wants a quarterback with movement skills and the ability to handle his up-tempo philosophy. That's not Nick Foles. Smith has an intriguing blend of size and arm strength along with athleticism to handle Kelly's read-option calls.
5. Detroit Lions - Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB, LSU - The Lions could be in the market for Cliff Avril's replacement and Mingo seems like a slightly better fit in a traditional 4-3 than Jones. The LSU product is raw but has great size and the athleticism to excel in a zone-blitz scheme.
6. Cleveland Browns - Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M - New Browns defensive coordinator Ray Horton ran the 3-4 in Arizona, but Cleveland has been running the 4-3 and has some pieces it doesn't want to scrap. That is likely good news for Moore, who seems more versatile than Jones and can fit either scheme as an edge player thanks to an elite first step.
7. Arizona Cardinals - Matt Barkley, QB, Southern California - Maybe Barkley is a bit of a reach here, but it's time to move on from the Kolb-Skelton-Lindley nonsense which derailed the Cards and Ken Whisenhunt last season. New coach Bruce Arians did wonders with a rookie quarterback in Indianapolis last season and while Barkley is no Andrew Luck, he is still the most NFL-ready signal- caller among this year's group.
8. Buffalo Bills - Mike Glennon, QB, North Carolina State - Another quarterback -desperate team makes the leap here with Glennon. The Bills simply can't sell Ryan Fitzpatrick to their fan base again and Glennon certainly has NFL size and arm strength but must improve upon shaky mechanics.
9. New York Jets - Jarvis Jones, DE/OLB, Georgia - The Jets get lucky when Jones drops into their laps, giving Rex Ryan the elite pass rusher he has lacked in North Jersey.
10. Tennessee Titans - Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama - The draft's best cornerback, Milliner could join Alterraun Verner in the Tennessee defensive backfield and give the Titans an elite pair on the outside. Milliner has smooth hips, gets his head around quickly and has great ball tracking ability.
11. San Diego Chargers - Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan - The main reason Philip Rivers took a huge step back last season was the ineffectiveness of his offensive line. The 6-foot-7 Fisher is clearly the second-best left tackle on the board with the wingspan and athleticism to excel. He just needs to add strength in order to deal with the bull rush.
12. Miami Dolphins - Keenan Allen, WR, California - The Dolphins want playmakers for Ryan Tannehill, and Allen is the most well-polished receiver on the market. Tennessee's Cordarrelle Patterson has more speed and the bigger ceiling, but Allen is quicker and projects as an elite route runner in time.
13. Tampa Bay Bucs - Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington - A great Senior Bowl week gets Trufant into the top half off the first round. The Bucs weren't able to stop anyone through the air in 2012 and still need Aqib Talib's replacement. Trufant has experience in both man and zone concepts, so he should be a nice fit for Greg Schiano.
14. Carolina Panthers - Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri - The Panthers need to sure up their run defense and Richardson is a big body with a knack for penetration while playing the 3-technique. That ability to slice into the backfield could keep opposing offensive lineman off Luke Kuechly.
15. New Orleans Saints - Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYU - The Saints need a lot of help on the defensive side of the ball and Ansah has one of the highest ceilings in the draft -- an athletic, explosive talent who some have compared favorably to Jason Pierre-Paul.
16. St. Louis Rams - Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama - The Rams need more playmakers for Sam Bradford, but they also need to sure up the offensive line in front of him. Warmack is far quicker than his body indicates and excels at getting to the second level and walling off linebackers.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers - Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State - Casey Hampton now has 12 NFL seasons under his imposing belt, so getting the heir apparent is imperative and Hankins has excellent feet and the natural size to carry more weight, two keys when projecting nose tackles.
18. Dallas Cowboys - Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama - Whether Jay Ratliff is back or not, the Cowboys need help on the interior of the defensive line since they will be moving to a 4-3 under Monte Kiffin. Williams is the type of player who is a handful at the point of attack.
19. New York Giants - Dion Jordan, DE/LB, Oregon - When the Giants have been successful, it's usually because of their pass rush and the need to replenish there after a down season is imperative. Jordan needs to add strength and fill out, but has rare athleticism for his size and could be a good value pick here if his balky shoulder is OK.
20. Chicago Bears - Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma - The Bears need to address their offensive line woes and will likely chose Johnson, a left tackle prospect over Alabama's D.J. Fluker, who projects on the right side. Even though there is a new regime in the Windy City, Gabe Carimi should get another shot at right tackle while the team absolutely must upgrade over J'Marcus Webb on the left side. Johnson was once a high school quarterback, so he understands the passing game and mirrors well. He will need to continue to add strength, however.
21. Cincinnati Bengals - Alec Ogletree, LB, Georgia - The Bengals will be looking linebacker or defensive end since Michael Johnson is a pending free agent. A former safety, Ogletree has rare range for a linebacker and could be a three-down guy early in his NFL career.
22. St. Louis Rams (from Washington Redskins) - Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee - After helping Bradford on the offensive line the Rams will get their quarterback a deep threat in the rangy Patterson, who will really develop into something if he can focus more and stop rounding off his routes.
23. Minnesota Vikings - John Jenkins, DT, Georgia - The Vikings would love to get receiver help for Christian Ponder, but with Patterson off the board, they will look to fortify the interior of the defense, where Kevin Williams is slipping at under tackle and Letroy Guion has underachieved on the nose. At 6- foot-4 and nearly 360 pounds, Jenkins will remind some Minnesotans of Pat Williams, a virtually immovable object who can tie up two blockers at will.
24. Indianapolis Colts - Datone Jones, DE, UCLA - Jones looks the prototypical base end for Chuck Pagano's 3-4 scheme. Jones has a long arms, a lively body and a good first step which helps him occupy blockers.
25. Seattle Seahawks - Alex Okafor, DE, Texas - Chris Clemons' ACL injury in the postseason means the Seahawks will be looking at pass rushers, and Okafor would be a solid pick at this stage. A high motor guy with great strength, Okafor was the best two-way defensive end in the country last season. He isn't a natural speed rusher, however, and his long-term future may be as a base left end.
26. Green Bay Packers - Barrett Jones, OG, Alabama - The Packers could go a number of ways. They could finally solve their running back woes by taking Alabama's Eddie Lacy or snare either Notre Dame's Tyler Eifert or Zach Ertz of Stanford at tight end if they waive goodbye to Jermichael Finley. That said, the offensive line is still the main concern in Titletown, or at least it should be. Fluker could be an option if they want a natural tackle, but Jones is more versatile and could be ideal at a number of positions, giving Mike McCarthy more options.
27. Houston Texans - Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia - The Texans really need to get a complement to Andre Johnson and Austin may be the best slot receiver in the draft. Although undersized at 5-9 and 175 pounds, Austin was a running back in high school and enjoys the physicality of the game.
28. Denver Broncos - Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre Dame - Jacob Tamme and Joel Dressen were solid players for the Broncos in 2012, but Eifert is a difference maker at tight end. He has the hands to be a security blanket, is a plus blocker in the running game and high points the football better than just about anyone on the pro level.
29. New England Patriots - Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas - Center field has been an issue for the Patriots, and Vaccaro has the ideal combination of size and athleticism to roam from sideline to sideline as an NFL free safety.
30. Atlanta Falcons - Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford - The Falcons will try to convince Tony Gonzalez to play one more season, but even if they can do it, they must start thinking about the future, and Ertz is too good to pass up at this point. Ertz is a very good blocker and understands how to use his body to shield defenders.
31. San Francisco 49ers - DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson - Randy Moss is likely history in the Bay Area, so adding Hopkins opposite Michael Crabtree should make Colin Kaepernick even more dynamic in 2013. Hopkins has strong hands and plucks the ball out of the air, but is a lot like Patterson in that he needs to sharpen his routes.
32. Baltimore Ravens - Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame - A poor national championship game against Alabama along with his bizarre personal scandal has sent Te'o plummeting, but the Ravens are a perfect fit. They can afford to take a chance, and with Ray Lewis retiring, Baltimore needs an inside linebacker. Te'o, of course, is best-suited for a 4-3, but if he runs well enough at the Combine, the Ravens should take the leap.
Other players with first-round grades:
Eddie Lacy - running back - Alabama
Jonathan Cooper - offensive guard - North Carolina
D.J. Fluker - offensive tackle - Alabama
Sam Montgomery - defensive end - LSU
Sharrif Floyd - defensive tackle - Florida
Kevin Minter - inside linebacker - LSU
Xavier Rhodes - cornerback - Xavier
Jonathan Banks - cornerback - Mississippi State
Matt Elam - safety - Florida

ESL afterschool wellness program to be featured in national video report
A new wellness initiative for children in the ESL Afterschool Communities program will be featured in an upcoming promotional video for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
English as a Second Language (ESL) Afterschool Communities is one of the grant-funded programs in the Transitional Workforce Department. The program has three grants and serves four communities of 2nd-8th graders based out of apartment community centers—with homework help, life skill development and field trip opportunities, including visits to Columbus State. The total FY11 grant funding is $550,000. The programs were an outgrowth of the Language Institute about eight years ago, according to Nancy Case, interim Dean of Community Education and Workforce Development (CEWD).
According to Case, one of the most recent grants was a federal Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) grant through Health & Human Services in which Columbus State is partnering with the Columbus Department of Public Health and Community for New Directions (a non-profit focused on drug prevention) to expand the ESL afterschool model to include the wellness component. "In many ways, ESLAsC is a mini Peace Corps program right here in our back yard," said Case.
So now the Columbus State Youth Empowerment Program has been chosen to be highlighted in the Office of Minority Health report to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Marquette University will fly in a video production crew from an advertising firm to capture this compelling story of the program at Wedgewood Community Center in mid November.
"This really exemplifies what it is ESLAsC does for Columbus State," said Suzanne Schaefer, supervisor in the program. "We may not always have the data and numbers that correlate directly with dollars for Columbus State, but we are a positive education model that brings attention to the impact we have in these communities, and the relationships that are built each day in programming."

Hawaii-bound in search of global climate data
While the idea of a cruise to Hawaii may sound like paradise, making that same journey 25 times back and forth in a year might start to lose its appeal.
But for a climate data-gathering machine called AMF2, perched aboard the ship, every trip is a chance to gather more data that is critical to understanding the Pacific Ocean's role in the global climate.
The machine is the Department of Energy's second Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) mobile facility, operated and managed by Argonne scientists. It carries a suite of instruments to measure properties of clouds, the ocean, precipitation, aerosols, and radiation. Over the summer of 2013, the AMF2 traveled back and forth between Hawaii and Los Angeles, taking data aboard the Horizon Spirit in the first official ARM marine deployment of its kind.
The AMF2's mission is to capture data so that scientists can get a better picture of the way that clouds, aerosols—particles in the air, like dust or smog—and Earth's energy and water balance interact over the Pacific. All of these variables are important in piecing together how the Earth's climate works as a whole.
AMF2 is particularly well-adapted to gather data in regions of the world that don't have much data yet, or are difficult to get to—like the open ocean.
Led by AMF2 operations manager Nicki Hickmon, the AMF2 team spent months adapting the instruments—which had been last deployed on land in the Maldives—to life aboard a ship. For example, they have to stay stable despite the rolling of the ship's deck as it plies the waves. (Feeling seasick yet?) The researchers installed special tables to correct for the motion.
Collecting data on atmospheric conditions over an entire year, including the transitions among cloud types along this particular route, will provide an enormous amount of new data to help refine and validate models of Earth's climate.
The mission is called MAGIC, which stands for the Marine ARM GPCI Investigation of Clouds; GPCI is a project comparing results from the major climate models. MAGIC is a collaborative effort involving Argonne and Brookhaven National Laboratory, as well as the Department of Energy, ARM, and others. The data will be made available to the scientific community through the ARM data archive located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

So I'm sure you all know about the release of the new Grand Theft Auto video game for the X-box and Playstation 3 which it stores a couple days ago. I guess the game takes place in Rockford Hills, which is a fictitious place based on Beverly Hills, California around the character 'Trevor Philips'. This lesson is going to show you "how to draw Trevor from GTA V", step by step. If you don't know the 'V' stands for five. I think Trevor looks a lot like he could be related to Niko Belic from Grand Theft Auto IV. The same scruffy look and body style, the face is a bit different, but the character design looks similar. Even though I don't play video games, I always seemed to love playing all of the GTA series. There are so many memorable characters, and all of the different weapons, characters, and cheats makes the game that more fun. I do hope you enjoy drawing Trevor Philips from GTA V because I had a blast. I will be back a little later today with other fun tuts for you all. peace out and enjoy.

Pokémon fans are a proud lot, so when Black and White launch this Sunday, they'll want to make sure everyone knows they want to be the very best. That's where Power A's line of official Pokémon accessories comes in.
Power A dropped its entire line of officially licensed Pokémon Black and White accessories on my doorstep last week, leaving me with the daunting task of figuring out which of the seven sleeves, pouches, and cases I felt could best take care of my Nintendo DS, while still affording me that "children stay away" look of a grown man carrying around a licensed Pokémon product.
Power A's Pokémon Black and White line is showing up in retail stores as we speak, with prices around or below $20, depending on how fancy you want to get.

A central Pennsylvania man will serve 28 to 56 years behind bars for suffocating his girlfriend after she survived his deliberate, high-speed crash.
Lancaster Online reports Benjamin Klinger pleaded guilty to third-degree murder and was sentenced Friday.
Authorities say Klinger was physically and verbally abusive to 17-year-old Samantha Heller during their turbulent relationship.
In December 2012, prosecutors say Klinger intentionally sped into a guardrail at 100 mph. Police say he sat on Heller after she lived through the wreck near Manheim.
The 21-year-old Klinger apologized in court and said he takes "full responsibility for the loss of a very special person."
The victim's mother, Sandy McFalls, says her heart has been shattered.
Klinger's sentence includes time for a drug charge and for sending sexually explicit photos of a minor.

I'm here in Bangkok at a gathering of hundreds of tuna business officials, policy-makers and even a few environmental advocates like myself. It's been a long week of discussion about the future of the industry, including a lot about what we all call "sustainability"- fish for the future. Some of the key take away points of this conference are that:
So what should the future of the tuna industry look like? Simply – fewer boats, more fish. This was our message to the conference – we need fewer industrial-sized fishing boats chasing dwindling tuna populations. If we want fish for the future, we need to change the way we manage our oceans today.
The tuna industry has to come up with a roadmap that will reduce fishing capacity. There are just too many boats and not enough fish. Large mechanized super boats are scooping up millions of tons of tuna every year. The maximum amount of tuna that the oceans can provide without compromising its ability to replenish itself is being reached in tuna populations all over the world. The most destructive fishing methods are catching too many juvenile tuna, before they've had a chance to reproduce and reverse the impacts of overfishing.
Greenpeace is working around the world to advance solutions to the oceans crisis. Too often, initiatives such as the creation of sustainable fishing industries are shouldered by the coastal states whose people depend on the oceans for food and jobs, such as the Pacific Island nations and the Maldives. The collapse of tuna populations would hit these states the hardest.
I have been having discussions with some of the conference attendees over the past few days. Some seem indifferent to our presence, but I have been pleasantly surprised that some have said privately that they are glad that Greenpeace is here. We have a lot in common with these industry officials: we all want ample fish and living oceans in the future. We sometimes disagree about how to make that vision a reality.
We are glad that we came too. Time will tell if the industry will take our message 'fewer boats, more fish' seriously. Around the world, we are starting to see the beginning of a shift in the industry. Tuna brands, retailers and consumers alike are increasingly sourcing responsibly caught tuna and the market for sustainable tuna products is growing. We will continue to campaign for an end to overfishing and end the destruction that is keeping the industry fishing itself out of existence. The industry can expect us to continue to monitor them on land and at sea, taking action to ensure that there will be fish for our common future.
Mark Dia is the Greenpeace Southeast Asia oceans campaign manager based in Manila, Philippines.

POWERISE - Automatic Lid Drive Systems
From Component Manufacturer to System Supplier
Trunk lids have come a long way. The high level of comfort for opening and closing trunk lids or tailgates is increasingly enhanced by automatic lid drives.
For this market segment, Stabilus did not only develop the optimum drive technology for lid drives; as a system supplier, it also assumed the responsibility for the overall function of automatic lid drive systems.
The harmonious interaction of linkage, weight equalization, and electric and electronic components that are suitably coordinated are the basis for the following functions:
- Automatic opening/closing/stopping
- programmable intermediate position
- External force recognition
Lid drives from Stabilus offer a high level of comfort and safety for opening and closing
With the POWERISE systems from Stabilus, the trunk will open by remote control within seconds. Pressing the remote control again will close it. The rest will happen automatically, safely and reliably.
And, the lid can be stopped in any intermediate position.
Integrated in the POWERISE drives is a sensor system that reliably eliminates safety risks due to improper operation or use.
Lid drives from Stabilus offer the right solution for any application
With this philosophy, Stabilus has brought numerous technological approaches to series introduction.
In our studies on weight, installation size, and noise optimization, we also focus on the modular concept. The consistent use of as many common parts as possible will ensure quality and financial advantages.
Our project experience, as well as our thorough pre-series development, are the reason for our superior competence in this application segment.
Please, take notice that our electric motor drive systems are not used for backfitting. Only serial shored drive systems are possible to change. In this case, please contact your responsible garage.

The defect is caused by the excessive length of the Drive shaft which, at full turn, does not have enough free stroke and get to push on the pump.
The correct length of Drive shaft to be adjusted on the specific machine it has to operate.
The rule is that:
When it does not flow freely, or when it is damaged in any way, the drive shaft must be replaced, as it can produce serious risks and dangers:
Its failure is due almost certainly to the no-current.
The control of the operation is carried out as follows:
This can happen in case of deposit of material from pesticide mixture solidified.
The failure can be caused by:
Do check these settings in order:
► Case "A" ... Lack of incoming supply.
Check in succession:
► Case "B" ... Consumption accentuated of the ball electric valve.
Remedy: Remove the box, verify and, if necessary, replace the ball valve.
TIFONE TECHNICAL SERVICE tel. 39 (0)532-730586, e-mail email@example.com
The Gearboxes TIFONE are very rugged and require no special maintenance, except for the control of the Oil level and its periodic replacement.
Possible Causes:
However, the entry of a foreign body offensive such as:
This risk is almost completely canceled by the suction grid security.
The TIFONE Instant Variable Propeller does not require special attention. It is advisable, however, to carry out a weekly wash, with hand lance, in case of accumulation of mud or other debris, especially on the back side of the hub, ie the part of the hub toward the gearbox.
The TIFONE Instant Variable Propeller repair is obtained by simply replacing the damaged components.
Adjusting of a TIFONE Propeller is fast and easy.
You should, however, do a little practical exercise, to learn how to run the operation with ease and in just 6 seconds.
Some Basic Information:
How to proceed:
The Instant adjustment of TIFONE 'Propeller is granting great advantages:
Remember, for easy adjustment of the step and its maintenance, it is important to:
Diaphragm replacement is an operation a bit delicate requiring some special attention. If you did not have a precise experience, it is best to contact an authorized Service or an expert technician.
Anyway, please observe the following steps:
Frost can cause serious damage to the pump.
It is essential to clean out the pump before the fallow-winter However, in every case of risk of frost.
For the emptying of the pump do act as follows:
The cause is the cardan shaft which pipes are too long and do not leave free stroke enough to absorb the maximum steering angle of the tractor.
Remedy: Correct the length of the PTO shaft, bearing in mind that:
Also, keep in mind that:
The circuit does not go into pressure...
Possible Cause 1: There is an infiltration of air into the intake circuit.
Remedy: Completely fill the main tank and observe that there is no dripping from the filter intake: the "O" ring it may have been incorrectly fitted after cleaning and it does not make a good seal now.
In the case of dripping, loosen and remove the nut cap and replace it making sure that the O-ring is seated properly.
Tighten by hand, so not excessively.
If the intake filter does not drip on the other hand, make sure there are no leaks from the intake pipe and related fittings, from the intake filter to the tank.
Possible Cause 2: The intake filter is clogged.
In this case the pump also makes a sharp noise of "flapping", generated by the valves that fail to work normally.
Be careful not to mix two or more formulations unconditionally! ... Some of them are mutually reactive and may precipitate and form dense mashes that clog the filter and intake pipes!
Remedy: Open the intake filter, check and thoroughly clean the cartridge and reassemble.
Remedy: Open the intake filter, check and thoroughly clean the cartridge and reassemble.
Pay attention to the O-ring that must be carefully reassembled, to prevent dripping and aspiration of air (see point 1 ..)
Possible Cause 3: The intake circuit is clogged from the tank.
In this case the pump also makes a sharp noise of "flutter".
Remedy: Check that the sump, inside the tank, is free and there are no foreign objects such as fruits, rags or other. IMPORTANT: Never remove the filter input instead of the tank and replace it immediately as soon as it was minimally damaged! This prevents future problems!
Possible Cause 4: The Circuit washing Valve 3-way has been forgotten on "WASH" and the washing tank is empty!
Remedy: Check and returns the valve to "SPRAY", for spraying.
Possible Cause 5: The wash Valve is set to "FILTER" and is therefore closed!
Remedy: Check and report on "SPRAY".
Possible Cause 6: The pump may have some diaphragms broken.
1. Remove the glass cover of the oil level and verify if it contains not just but oil mixed with water. If so, the diaphragms are broken. Remedy: Replace them
2. If the oil contains no water, the pump is ok.
3. If the oil level is seemingly low, remember that when the pump is stopped, the oil must be barely visible, i.e. in correspondence of the lower mark, and then add only the minimum necessary,
Possible Cause 7: The Red Knob for Pressure Adjustment could be totally zero (completely unscrewed).
Remedy: check and adjust.
This can be determined by:
It may be due to:
The Oil level of the pump you check through the transparent cup mounted on the pump itself.
Remember that when the pump is not running, the oil level should be at the lower mark, then just barely visible.
Do not add oil beyond that level.
In fact, when the pump is running, the oil level rises to approximately half glass, which is normal.
If you add oil in excess it will be ejected.
In case of Leakage of water and oil from the sealing ring on the shaft or from the glass oil level of the pump, it means that at least one diaphragm is broken.
It is therefore necessary to make the replacement of all diaphragms and all of the pump seals.
Check the fuse.
Make sure that the built-in battery is charged.
There are different types of check valves applied to the nozzles:
A: Diaphrgam type
B: Plunger type.
C: Ball type, In stainless steel
IMPORTANT: The efficiency and duration of check valves are highly dependent on circuit washing of the machine after each use.
It should never happen in a TIFONE Sprayer.
If one or more nozzles are clogged, the causes may be:
The Volume per hectare, i.e. the amount of pesticide mixture to be distributed per hectare, is adjusted according to the characteristics of the Plantation to be treated.
It is therefore necessary to be able to quickly calculate the litres / minute match, in order to calibrate the sprayer for Volume / Hectare, as required.
The calculation of litres / minute corresponding to a given volume / hectare, is calculated using the known formula:
Litres / ha x Row Spacing x kph tractor
_________________________________ = litres / minute. Total Left and Right

A luncheon on campus highlighted the prevalence and importance of undergraduate research at Hope.
On Friday, July 13, the Natural and Applied Sciences Division hosted its second annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research Luncheon (CURL), held at the Haworth Inn and Conference Center.
More than 265 people attended, including 183 students who are pursuing research projects with 51 Hope professors and six faculty members who are visiting from other institutions. President James Bultman, Provost James Boelkins, several members of the Board of Trustees, civic and political leaders, leaders from local school districts, as well as friends and donors to the college also attended.
Dr. Moses Lee, who is dean for the natural and applied sciences division and professor of chemistry, offered a welcome and gave an overview of the research program. Building on more than half a century of "learning through research" as a teaching philosophy, the college educates students by giving them opportunities to create new knowledge through productive and original research. Hope College, he noted, now enjoys the status of having one of the largest summer undergraduate research programs among predominantly undergraduate institutions (PUIs) in the nation. Producing more than two peer-reviewed publications per faculty member last year, Lee said, Hope professors publish four-times more than the average of faculty at other PUIs nationwide.
The overall cost for operating the research program, he noted, is approximately $1.5 million, including more than $1.2 million for the summer program (which pays for students' salaries, supplies, travel and small equipment) and about $0.3 million during the school year. Even though the college and donors support various parts of the program, Lee explained that the bulk of the resources come through competitive research grants from external sources such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Homeland Security, private foundations and corporations.
Of the 183 students participating in research this summer, 150 are HopeCollege students, 21 are students from colleges and universities across the country, and 12 are students from local high schools.
In his concluding remarks, Lee introduced the division's theme for the 2007-08 academic year: "let's keep growing," following last year's theme of "setting new records."
Dr. A. Paul Schaap, who is a 1967 Hope graduate and Ph.D. scientist, gave the event's keynote address, and attributed the success of his academic career to his formative years at Hope. Upon graduation, Schaap received a Ph.D. from Harvard University before taking a faculty position in chemistry at Wayne State University, where he developed a novel class of chemiluminescent compounds called dioxetanes. This technology allowed him to form Lumigen, Inc., which was recently acquired by Beckman Coulter Inc. Schaap is actively involved in the life of the college, and the A. Paul Schaap Science Center was named in his honor last year in recognition of a leadership gift that he and his wife Carol gave to Hope.
Following the keynote address, there were 10 student presentations. Students spoke from the Natural and Applied Sciences departments (biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, geology and environmental sciences, mathematics, nursing, and physics) as well as from the education and psychology departments.
The titles of all of the event's presentations were:
Original Research: The Excitement of Discovery, Photochemistry and Chemiluminescence, by Dr. A. Paul Schaap;
Electron-Deficient Photochromes to Gate PICT, Christine L. Bodden, chemistry;
RBS Analysis as a Technique for Electropolymer Thickness Determination, Dan Tobert, physics;
Concrete Thoughts on Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites, Lisa Kallemeyn, engineering;
A Better Way of Estimating the Prevalence of AIDS, Dirk Van Bruggen, mathematics;
Volunteer Computer Games: Using Casual Games to implement a Distributed Algorithm, Evan Peck, computer science;
Forging Connections: Biology, Geology and Beyond, Austin Dreyer, geology and environmental sciences;
The Role of System xc- in Parkinson's Disease, Matthew C. Wixson, biology;
Improving Drinking Water and Community Health in Developing Countries, Katie Matre, Jami Rubin, nursing, Katie Oxendine, education;
Effects of the Immigration Debate on Latino Adolescents, Jonathan Sprik, psychology;
The Work of HHMI Education Scholars, Billy Statema, science education.

SKF Multilube automates straddle carrier lubrication for greater reliability
The challengeAt Sweden's Port of Gothenburg, the straddle carriers that move and stack heavy paper containers had been troubled by frequent, unplanned downtime. A semi-automatic, semi-manual lubrication system had been providing inadequate lubrication, eventually leading to failed bearings and costly productivity losses.
Looking for a solution that would limit unplanned downtime and drive productivity, the port operator looked to SKF for lubrication options.
The solutionSKF suggested SKF Multilube – an automatic, centralized lubrication system designed for heavy vehicles with many lubrication points. SKF technicians identified 96 lubrication points on each truck, as well as 16 points on the sliding surfaces overhead. SKF also conducted a grease review to ensure that the optimum lubricant would be in use to accommodate seasonal temperature changes.
The resultThe port operator reported that straddle carrier reliability and availability increased with the SKF Multilube system, allowing a corresponding reduction in unplanned downtime and maintenance demands. The precision lubrication eliminated over-greasing, allowing for a reduction in grease consumption, plus a much safer, grease-free work area.
Satisfied with the overall savings and increased productivity, the operator has decided to install SKF Multilube on the terminal's remaining straddle carriers.

The pivot stands as one of the most dramatic moves possessed by the human body. When a ballet dancer pivots, in an instant he or she takes the audience in a sweeping new direction. When a basketball center pivots successfully, immediately he reverses the flow of the game from offense to defense or visa versa. Whatever the activity, pivots can be their own form of "game breaker." And so it is in politics, and particularly in the 2010 governor's race in California.
As we move from the June primary to the November general election, candidates are pivoting like crazy. Nowhere are these abrupt changes more visible than with the efforts of Republican Meg Whitman and Democrat Jerry Brown to shift from the right and left ends of their political parties, respectively, to the center where so many votes await courtship.
For Brown, the need to pivot is not nearly as great as it is for Whitman, chiefly because he coasted through the June primary without a challenge. Brown didn't have to say a thing about any issue and that's exactly what he did.
Whitman hasn't been so fortunate. During the primary campaign, she marched to the edge step by step with fellow candidate Steve Poizner in a battle for the Republican right, the soul of the party and the mainstay of the primary vote turnout. Nowhere did she move more than on the issue of immigration, where she promised to be "tough as nails" on illegal immigrants in the tradition of former Governor Pete Wilson, campaign chair. Wilson, it will be recalled, was the architect of California's Proposition 187, the initiative designed to deny just about every state service and program to illegal immigrants and a craw in the throats of Latino voters. benefiting from Wilson's coat-tail" on immigration served Whitman well in the Republican primary, but now she must wear new political clothing if she hopes to win in November.
Enter the pivot.
As gracefully as possible, Whitman must now blur her earlier statements on illegal immigrants. Why? Because the voters in the middle are not nearly as radical on the immigration issue as those on the far right. These include independents, moderates and the Latino vote--perhaps the largest group that could derail Whitman's campaign.
Now 38% of the state, Latinos are a growing political force. Although they identify with Democrats over Republicans by better than a 3-to-1 ratio (58% to 19%), Latinos tend toward political conservatism on wedge issues such as abortion. Even more important, Latinos made the difference in Gray Davis' 1998 election when he campaigned against Proposition 187. They also made the difference in 2003 when almost half defected to Arnold Schwarzenegger after Davis rejected drivers' licenses for illegal immigrants. Simply put, Latinos can make the difference.
That's where Whitman has to pivot, and carefully. Recognizing that Latinos may be as many as 20 percent of the state's voters in November, she has to break down the block ala Schwarzenegger in 2003. But she can't pivot to the point where she discourages the base, lest she give the most active members of her party a reason to stay home.
Equally important, Whitman can't appear as the double talker where she says one thing one moment and another the next. That would cost credibility.
Clearly, Whitman has some work cut out for her. In between writing checks and making campaign commercials, she may need time to learn a new step.

At least that's what two stories I ran into this week are saying.
First, there's a Fox News story that I came across via Media Matters in which the fine folks at Fox & Friends discuss the new "trend" of children practicing yoga with guest and parenting guru (no pun intended) Larry Winget. The whole segment is based around a frame of "yoga vs. sports." While he initially praises the benefits of yoga (in order to satiate the "yoga nazis"-now there's an image), the segment devolves into Winget lecturing the audience on why yoga isn't a sport-it doesn't have a ball, you can't win or lose, you don't keep score. The lowest part comes when Winget tries to link children doing the downward dog with the "wussification" of America.
Sports, according to Winget, has a character building value because it teaches winning and losing and is interactive and social. Yoga, on the other hand, does not teach a child how to compete or socialize with others, but instead, is an individual and isolating practice. This distinction is not new. Americans have long imagined yoga as an isolated practice. Some saw this positively, such as Thoreau. Meanwhile, 18th and 19th century European accounts of the "Hindoo fakir" that circulated in America imagined yoga as the individual practice of heathen holy men. For more on this see Kirin Narayan's excellent article "Refractions from the Field at Home: American Representations of Hindu Holy Men in the 19th and 20th Centuries." Cultural Anthropology 8 (1993): 476–509.
Now neither Thoreau's yoga at Walden Pond nor evangelical missionary reports looked anything like preschoolers striking warrior pose, but the discourse of Western social activity, capitalist competition, and work ethic contrasted with Eastern isolation, asceticism, and navel gazing is embedded in our thinking about yoga today. Yoga is "wussification" insofar as it replaces the aggressive, communal, and competitive sports with its individual navel gazing and austere, individualized, and quietest practice. I also thought there were hints of an almost Robert Bellah-like argument against "sports Sheilaism," for lack of a better term. If this yoga trend (is it really a trend?) keeps up we may see the downfall of our treasured social-sport institutions. We might all become "exercisers but not athletes." The rise of the athletic "nones." Little Leagues and Pop Warners will crumble. I'm being tongue-in-cheek, but I think this story does get to the role of sports in American culture and the major apologetic for child sports, that they build character and teach life lessons.
But what if yoga taught character and life lessons? Over at NPR a story from Encinitas, California does just that. The K. P. Jois Foundation, an Ashtanga yoga group, supports wellness program in the school district there that gets elementary students to hit the yoga mats. But at least one parent objects to the yoga classes, claiming that they are an establishment of religion.
"They were being taught to thank the sun for their lives and the warmth that it brought, the life that it brought to the earth and they were told to do that right before they did their sun salutation exercises," she says.
Those looked like religious teachings to her, so she opted to keep her son out of the classes. The more Eady reads about the Jois Foundation and its founders' beliefs in the spiritual benefits of Ashtanga yoga, the more she's convinced that the poses and meditation can't be separated from their Hindu roots.
"It's stated in the curriculum that it's meant to shape the way that they view the world, it's meant to shape the way that they make life decisions," Eady says. "It's meant to shape the way that they regulate their emotions and the way that they view themselves."
For their part, the Jois Foundation maintains that the program teaches character, not religion.
Jois Foundation Director Eugene Ruffin, however, maintains that the yoga program is typical of athletics programs for kids.
"They provide you with the exercise and the motivation for children," Ruffin says. "And then they give you character exercises — 'Thou shalt not steal, thou shall be honest, thou shall be respectful to adults.' "
Ruffin says those ideals aren't specific to Hinduism and don't conflict with his own Catholic upbringing.
Apparently those character exercises are in King James English. Here yoga is lauded for teaching life lessons on the one hand, and derided for doing so too well, on the other. Note the divergent definitions of religion between Ruffin, the yoga apologist and Eady, the parent. For Eady yoga is religious because it teaches them how to make life decisions and how to make meaning in the world. Ruffin counters both Eady and even Winget by claiming that yoga is like sports. It builds character. It teaches life lessons.
And so now we are back where we started: life lessons. Both of these stories highlight the question of how best to instill "character" in our children. This is a long standing question that goes back to nineteenth century school reformers like Noah Webster and Horace Mann. These Protestant educators sought to instill virtue, what we might now call "life lessons," into children and thought this could only be done with a non-sectarian Protestant education. Now, in the plural 21st century, educators are still wrestling with the question of how to instill character and virtue in young hearts and minds, but instead of the King James Bible and the Lord's Prayer they are turning to yoga mats.
What are the kids getting out of all of this yoga? A deeper knowledge of Hinduism?
"Absolutely not — no. What my daughter tells me is she did the pancake today and she lays down and then she cracks up because it's so funny," Cocco says.
Ah yes, Patanjali's infamous pancake asana.

Exercising With Osteoarthritis and Fibromyalgia
Physical activity can help osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia without causing additional pain.
Q: I have fibromyalgia as well as osteoarthritis (OA). I would like to do some osteoarthritis exercises to regain muscle mass and improve flexibility, but weight-training leaves me with worse pain. What do you recommend in terms of osteoarthritis exercises?
A: Many of my fibromyalgia patients tell me their pain worsens when they exercise – particularly if they are just starting an exercise program. The truth is that you will have to stick with an osteoarthritis exercise program for about six weeks, exercising two or three times per week, to start feeling or seeing any benefit.
Don't start a program while your fibromyalgia is flaring – wait until you're at your usual baseline. Then start slowly, giving yourself a day or two between workouts. If you can stick it out, I think you'll find the benefits of exercise worth the temporary increase in discomfort.
Start with lots of range of motion work, taking each joint through its full range of motion five to eight times. Continue your osteoarthritis exercise session by walking in a warm pool, if you have access to one. If you don't have access to a pool, walking on land is acceptable, as is using an exercise bicycle or elliptical trainer. I don't recommend stairclimbers or running at this stage. The goal is to get your heart and lungs in shape and get the blood flowing to your muscles and joints. Learn more about exercise for osteoarthritis.
After three to four weeks, add weight training, but instead of doing a lot of repetitions (reps) with a low weight, consider doing fewer reps (no more than six to eight at a time) with a higher weight. Aim for three sets of reps two to three times a week for each muscle group. How fast you progress depends on how you feel, and you have to judge for yourself if you feel you've overdone it.
In general, if it hurts when you do the exercise, you should back off on the intensity or the number of reps. However, feeling sore a day or two after exercise is often the normal response to muscles being challenged; as your muscles become conditioned to exercise, the soreness should diminish. A prolonged increase in pain, however, could be a sign you've done too much too soon and you should cut back to just range-of-motion and stretching exercises.

Publication Archive
This archive contains all documents published by cep over the last few years:
cepAdhoc: Incisive comment on current EU policy issues.
cepPolicyBrief: Concise 4-page reviews of EU proposals (Regulations, Directives, Green Papers, White Papers, Communications) – including a brief summary and economic and legal assessments.
cepInput: Impulse to current discussions of EU policies.
cepStudy: Comprehensive examination of EU policy proposals affecting the economy.
The EU Commission proposes an extensive overhaul of the digital single market rules. Part 1 of the cepPolicyBrief concerns net neutrality and the full harmonisation of the rights of end-users. Part 2 deals with the notification requirement for telecomms providers, radio frequencies and virtual broadband access. The change to the Roaming Regulation and cross-border fixed-network connections within the EU will be considered in Part 3.
With the creation of a new type of European investment fund (ELTIF), the Commission wants to channel "patient" capital from both professional and retail investors into infrastructure projects, property and non-listed companies.
The Commission recommends that the Member States introduce collective actions. Collective actions refers to actions brought by two or more affected parties or by an authority or entity on their behalf. Collective actions should facilitate the enforcement of legal rights, particularly where individual actions are too costly for affected parties.
The European Commission wants to bring in a system to monitor, report and verify CO2 emissions and other climate-relevant information from ships ("MRV system"). On the one hand, the data will create a basis for further political measures. On the other, companies will gain a better overview of cost reductions.
European airspace is currently divided on the basis of national boundaries rather than in order to optimise the flow of traffic. For the establishment of a "Single European Sky" (SES), the EU issued four Regulations in 2004 (SES I) and modified them in 2009 (SES II). As there were significant delays in the implementation of SES I and SES II, the proposed Regulation (SES II+) aims to speed up the process of establishing the SES.
The Commission wants to increase the distribution of building insurance for elemental damage and ensure that industrial companies can afford to remedy environmental damage.
The Commission wants to integrate the public employment services (PES) in the Member States into a formal network and improve their efficiency by way of a benchmarking system.
EU competition law is enforced by competition authorities who find infringements of competition law and, where applicable, impose fines, and by victims who bring actions for damages before national courts. With this Directive, the Commission is seeking, on the one hand, to ensure that victims of an infringement of competition law throughout the EU are able to enforce their right to full damages. On the other hand, it wants to ensure the coordination of enforcement by way of actions for damages and enforcement by way of the competition authorities.
In order to promote the deployment of broadband, the Commission wants to reduce construction costs.
The European Commission wants to increase competition for seaport services in important EU ports by extending the freedom to provide services to include port services. It also wants to make the financial relations between public authorities and port service providers more transparent and strengthen the autonomy of port management bodies to set their own infrastructure charges in order to improve investment conditions.
