OK, OK. I can hear you rattling off questions about my ridiculously unscientific survey.
What about the three San Diegans who would not sign the petition?
Well, two of them said they had a thing about signing petitions. Wayne, a weather-beaten boardwalk regular, was worried about identity theft. When I asked what should happen to Filner, he simulated kicking a field goal.
Which leaves the last respondent of the 36, a middle-aged woman sitting on the patio of a coffee shop.
What drew me to her like a moth to flame was the A-section of U-T San Diego, spread out before her. In fact, she appeared to be looking at my picture above a column I'd written the day before.
"Excuse me," I said, trying to be humble. "Are you a San Diegan?"
She looked as me as if I'd asked her if she just happened to be a woman.
Waving my hand at my mug shot, I asked this paragon of political literacy if she would sign a recall petition. I readied for a Gino-like lecture.
"I don't know," she said, making it quite clear that if I didn't leave she'd call the manager.
I slinked away, hoping to catch sight of Gino.
After my hour on the boardwalk, I came away with sand in my shoes and a sense of how difficult it will be to gather 102,000 signatures.
Think about it. I collected 15 firm pledges in an hour. That works out to 6,800 hours to meet the goal of more than 100,000 signatures.
Sure, I'm a rank amateur. But still. That's a lot of work even if the bile toward the mayor is tsunamic.

Opening Day loss looked so much like last year for the Mets
Rich Mancuso
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio threw the first pitch at Citi Field Monday afternoon for the season and home opener. Those who arrived, in what was a capacity crowd, booed the new Mayor. The Mets, though, heard more boos from their fans and to them it was no different than last year.
It was no different because Dillon Gee, in his first Opening Day start did his job for the Mets. After a second inning two-run home run to the Washington Nationals' Adam LaRoche, he retired the next 15.
After departing with a 4-3 lead in the seventh inning, it was no different than last season at Citi Field. The Mets lost their first home opener at Citi Field, 9-7 in 10-innings. The bullpen that tied for fifth most in losses in 2013 again was the culprit.
So the fans booed, as they did so often last season. The pen, an offseason agenda of GM Sandy Alderson, failed to get Gee a well deserved win. He got the run support that included a three-run homer from Andrew Brown in the first inning.
Brown, an extra bench player got the start when he arrived at the ballpark. Newly acquired Chris Young had to sit out his Mets debut because of a quad strain.
Mets fans have become accustomed to know, don't trust the pen. Opening Day was so much like the outcomes that Bobby Parnell gave the fans last year. The same that Scott Rice saw so many times, with his overused arm.
There is no more LaTroy Hawkins who was reliable out of the pen, especially late last season when Parnell was disabled and had to undergo a procedure for a herniated disc. Hawkins took a nice deal to Colorado.
Mets GM Sandy Alderson, who unofficially said his team was capable of winning 90-games, retained Rice. He brought back right-hander Carlos Torres who provides an option as the set-up guy, spot starter, or getting out a batter or two.
Rice, Torres, and six others could not do the job on Opening Day. Yes, there are 161 games to go. But four walks, five runs in 3.1 innings will be unacceptable to Mets fans.
Torres and Rice issued four straight walks that forced in the tying run, imploding, when Gee left in the seventh inning.
"If you're going to pitch here, you've got to be able to throw strikes," said the manager Terry Collins. "You can't walk guys. You've got to make them swing the bat."
Torres said he was overthrowing. The cold weather had nothing to do with the walks. "My shoulder dipped a little bit," he said. "I saw it on film and will make the adjustments by Wednesday."
\"Scott Rice was outstanding all of last year," commented Collins. "And talk about shock, the biggest shock was Carlos Torres. I mean, this guy is a strike throwing machine." But Torres and some of the relievers had a bad last week of spring games.
Maybe the off day Tuesday will help, but Mets fans don't want to hear excuses. Realistically, they know this team won't win 90-games, but they want to see some type of competitive attitude from that pen. More so, they want to see this team playing for something after the month of June.
They did have a good moment, and cheered with someone coming out of that pen. Jose Valverde, a spring training invite, who could be the eventual closer, had the fastball that resembled the one he had with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
"Papa Grande" with the Detroit Tigers came and retired all four Nationals he faced and struck out three. John Lannon, a starter and in the pen for now, and Jeurus Familia, two of the bullpen experiments combined to give up four runs in the 10th.
There was some cheering for a David Wright home run, his fourth in a home opener, but in that 10th inning. Curtis Granderson, now on the other side of town is supposed to protect Wright. But, in five at bats he struck out three times as Washington starter Steven Strasburg struck out 10 in six innings.
Yes, it was so reminiscent of last season. Except on Opening Day, Mets fans did not want this outcome after the unexpected home run from Brown and the go ahead two-run homer from Juan Lagares that gave them a 5-4 lead.
"We're trying hard," commented Parnell. "It definitely was not our day today."

Chase Headley expects to be ready for Opening Day
Feb 25, 2014, 10:15 PM EDT
Chase Headley was diagnosed Tuesday with a Grade 1 calf strain and will be held out of spring training activities for the next 2-3 weeks. But he doesn't expect to miss a regular-season game.
"If I can get 15 to 20 (at-bats) from both sides, that's pretty close to what I need," Headley told Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune on Tuesday evening in Padres camp. "If it progresses the way that I hope — and I think that it will — then I should be fine. We should have plenty of time."
Headley got a late start to the 2013 season due to a fractured thumb and wound up posting a disappointing .747 OPS with 13 homers and 50 RBI in 141 games. He had an .875 OPS, 31 homers, and 151 RBI in 2012.
Headley is currently scheduled to become a free agent five days after the 2014 World Series.
This is going to be an important summer for him.
- happytwinsfan - Feb 25, 2014 at 10:45 PM
"grade one calf strain"? wtf is that? is it like when i wake up in the middle of the night with some weird muscle contraction in my calf that hurts like hell and the only way to get rid of it is to get up and put weight on it and hope i don't break my neck doing it because i'm only half awake? then take a piss if needed and go back to bed cussing under your breath and doing your best to ignore your royally pissed off wife? sounds serious!
- gloccamorra - Feb 25, 2014 at 11:00 PM
It's like first degree burns, the lower number is the least damaging. It's his right calf and he had off season surgery on the left knee, so he may have been unconsciously overcompensating during the drill.
If you get a calf contraction like that, wiggle your toes as soon as you feel it tightening up and it'll go away if you keep your leg still a few minutes afterward. I had one so severe it tore a part of the muscle – I could even feel it tear. The doctor told me to wiggle the toes to prevent it from happening again. Also, drink more water and/or electrolytes (Gatorade). That's usually the cause.

115 RBI in 2012, not 151 RBI.
- hammyofdoom - Feb 26, 2014 at 9:53 AM
You know, I really do hope that Headley continues doing what he did the year before last because I don't want to see the Padres get a disappointing season from ANYONE…But was anyone else a little surprised at how quick reporters and analysts took his one year at age 28 as a "breakout" year instead of "fluke" year? I really do hope he continues trending upward, but last hear his OPS was almost the exact same as it was in 09-12, and he went from 11 homers max to 31 in 2013.
Sort of reminded me of Ellsbury's freak year in 2012 and NO one expected that from him going forward. I don't see enough of Headley to really say one way or the other, but I mean… Kevin Youkilis' breakout year was the end of 07 through 08 and no one expected him to be what he was for the next 3-4 years, but it seemed like everyone was jumping on the headley bandwagon. Would it surprise anyone if he posted an OPS under .820 this year?

About the book
What's your secret?
American Spies presents the stunning histories of more than forty Americans who spied against their country during the past six decades. Michael Sulick, former head of the CIA's clandestine service, illustrates through these stories -- some familiar, others much less well known -- the common threads in the spy cases and the evolution of American attitudes toward espionage since the onset of the Cold War. After highlighting the accounts of many who have spied for traditional adversaries such as Russian and Chinese intelligence services, Sulick shows how spy hunters today confront a far broader spectrum of threats not only from hostile states but also substate groups, including those conducting cyberespionage.
Sulick reveals six fundamental elements of espionage in these stories: the motivations that drove them to spy; their access and the secrets they betrayed; their tradecraft, i.e., the techniques of concealing their espionage; their exposure; their punishment; and, finally, the damage they inflicted on America's national security.
The book is the sequel to Sulick's popular Spying in America: Espionage from the Revolutionary War to the Dawn of the Cold War. Together they serve as a basic introduction to understanding America's vulnerability to espionage, which has oscillated between peacetime complacency and wartime vigilance, and continues to be shaped by the inherent conflict between our nation's security needs and our commitment to the preservation of civil liberties.
About the author
Michael J. Sulick is a retired intelligence operations officer who worked for the CIA for twenty-eight years. He served as chief of CIA counterintelligence from 2002-4 and as director of the National Clandestine Service from 2007-10, where he was responsible for supervising the agency's covert collection operations and coordinating the espionage activities of the US intelligence community.
The Institute of World Politics is a graduate school of national security and international affairs, dedicated to developing leaders with a sound understanding of international realities and the ethical conduct of statecraft, based on knowledge and appreciation of the founding principles of the American political economy and the Western moral tradition.

29 year old man | West Chester, PA, USA | Seeking women 22-29 within 10 miles
Active within 24 hours
What can I say, I was born and raised in West Chester and absolutely love this town. After moving to Delaware county for a short time I decided that I wanted to buy a small condo back in West Chester so that's what I did! I decided to join Match because I figured that it couldn't hurt to give it a shot. I love to meet new people in general and I suppose this is an easy means to do so. A little bit about myself…If my friends could describe me I think that they would say that I am a pretty bubbly person in general, I am not real concerned what people think of me and nor do I really want to be. I am always up to meet a new person and have no problem introducing myself and sparking up a conversation. I love to laugh, and I love to laugh hard, and I think it's important for that special person to share a similar humor as myself but I'll get into that in a sec… As far as my personal life is concerned, I have a very tough work schedule and I am usually pretty inundated throughout the week so my weekends is where I fit all of the fun stuff in!! More than anything, I love to be outside and love pretty much all outdoor activities including hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, going to the beach, skiing, scuba diving… pretty much anything you can think of ill give a shot. During the evening hours, I enjoy hanging out with friends and I usually end up going out to the bars in West Chester. Sundays are typically my R&R day and I enjoy sitting around and watching a good movie or even do the whole tourist thing, ya know, museums, shows, site seeing…that sort of thing! I would say that I am a very open minded person and would like to try everything once so I enjoy switching things up here and there and can be pretty spontaneous. So if you are a person that enjoys making definite plans all of the time I may not be the right match for you! But hey, they say opposites attract so who knows. My perfect match…. Who's really to say, I think there are great traits about everyone but I think it's really important to be able to share common interests with a person and I think that is what will personally keep my interest. I would like to meet someone that enjoys being physically active because I too enjoy being pretty active when I have the time! As far as humor is concerned, I like to surround myself with positive people and I like to think that I have a pretty good sense of humor and I prefer someone that is not afraid to laugh and smile. Like I said before, due to a pretty chaotic workweek, on Sundays, it is a great time for me to unwind watching a good movie or just kick back and relax in general before I start my week over again. In summary, I am a fun loving guy, just trying to experience the world and enjoy everything it has to offer. I love to travel, be outside and try anything and everything. Who knows if this online thing will be beneficial…but hey, why not give it a shot!
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Auto racing / Motorcross, Cycling, Other types of exercise, Skiing, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs, Fish
I love bulldogs and will get one at some point when the time is right.
Middle of the Road
I have been all around the country and i am willing to go anywhere to find fun things to do and to just "switch it up a little".
Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, Kutztown, PA
I cant really say that I watch much TV but I do really enjoy relaxing on a Sunday and kicking back to watch a movie. As far as food is concerned, my favorite food by far would have to be ribs or sushi, but I will give anything a try!
In my free time, I love rock climbing as well as biking. I also enjoy going to different tourist attractions and spending my time with my friends and family.

Harmony Mill Farm
Waltham, Maine
Family Farm
Jon and I have a small family farm in rural Downeast Maine. Our families have a long tradition of farming and our desire is to continue this tradition. Our farm provides unpasteurized 'real milk' and cheese as a healthy alternative dairy source to the local community . We produce our milk using organic practices from a small herd of Jersey cows and Jon makes our cheeses by hand from that milk in small batches . We are members of the Maine Cheese Guild. At times there is a limited supply of unpasteurized heavy cream available. We sell from the farm, through small convenience stores and the local healthfood store as well as ship by UPS. If you wish to visit our farm on the shores of Graham Lake, call ahead and we'll be glad to welcome you.
Aged raw milk cheddar cheese, heat treated provolone, heat treated ricotta, and ricotta salata. Unpasteurized whole and skim milk bottled in returnable glass bottles. At Christmas we partner with another local farm, Dickens Farms, to make a mail order Christmas special : a wreath, cheddar cheese, local honey and blueberry jam attractively boxed and sent via UPS all over the country.

The telecoms giant will increase the price of standard line rental for direct debit customers by £1, or 6.25 per cent, to £16.99 from December 1, while the pence per minute (ppm) rate for calls to UK landlines and 0870 numbers will go up 6.44 per cent from 9p a minute to 9.58p.
The set-up fee for landline calls will increase from 15p to 15.97p, residential calls to the Timeline speaking clock will go up from 36.6p to 38.97p and call return will increase from 19.9p to 21.19p.
Broadband prices are going up by as much as 6.49 per cent, although BT said its current "high profile" press and TV broadband offers will stay the same.
The cost of BT Basic, the phone service for low-income customers, will remain at £5.10 a month with a call allowance.
BT said the majority of its customers were on inclusive call packages and did not pay the set-up fee or ppm charges, adding that call bills had "decreased 14 per cent in the last five years".
But it said those customers on the popular Unlimited Anytime Calls plan would see the price increase by 6.43 per cent from £7 a month to £7.45.
The move follows its rival Sky announcing it is to increase some tariffs on September 1.
BT Consumer chief executive John Petter said: "BT is sensitive to the tough economic times and we've taken care to make sure that low-income customers avoid price increases.
"We've added extra money-saving options for low-income customers and for customers who only want a phone line for calls.
"Although some prices have gone up, we want to help our customers to find the best value BT option with Right Plan.
Last month BT claimed its Premier League offering was helping it win its battle with Sky as it grew broadband and TV revenues by a quarter, adding 104,000 broadband customers in the three months to the end of June.

More scary news about grid vulnerabilities (and how utilities are getting the blame)
Quick Take: I know you may be suffering from scare-story overload. It's a bit like the warnings on climate change. After a point, you just can't stand to read another story about how bad things are.
But I just wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't bring you this latest news. Short summary below, but you'll be better off to read the full story at the Los Angeles Times. - Jesse Berst
The owner of a small tech firm in North Carolina has discovered that breaching the grid is surprisingly easy. "There are a lot of people going through various stages of denial," Adam Crain told the Times. "If I could write a tool that does this, you can be sure a nation state or someone with more resources could."
When he shared his findings with the Department of Homeland Security, he caused them to issue a series of alerts to utilities. Why one alert after another? Because Crain keeps finding new security holes.
U. S. lawmakers are spending time and effort on the problem, but often at cross purposes. Some want regulators to mandate security upgrades. Others want utilities to share more information. Others are blaming whistleblowers in the media for sharing dangerous information.
Utilities and federal law enforcement are at odds as well. According to the Times, each accuses the other of being territorial and of failing to share incident reports and analyses.

The Meltdown Drags were held this weekend at Byron Dragway and they were AWESOME to say the least. The cars on the drag strip were '66 and earlier and the cars in the show were '72 and earlier. This was a great nostalgia event and next year I plan on going on Sat. instead of Sun. as it is the better of the two days. I went today (Sunday) and was NOT disappointed at all. I shot up two rolls of film quickly and wished that I would have brought my new digital camera with me instead. Now I'm "jacked up" and want to start on even more model kits. LOL! You could say that I'm motivated.
The Belvedere Mopar show was also going on this weekend not far from Byron.

Doctor sheds some light on the Jenks case
FORT MYERS, Fla. Dr. Mitchel B. Harris of Brigham And Womens Hospital said tonight that Bobby Jenks' surgeon, Dr. Kirkham Wood, is a highly qualified surgeon and it was unlikely he did anything to cause the complications.
It is certainly possible that after the operation there was no tear but a change in the overall position of the bone subsequent to the surgery caused it, said Harris, who is the chief of BWHs orthopedic trauma service. That complication would result in those symptoms.
An infection, "would be a combination of some bad luck," according to Harris.
Harris said having bone spurs removed from the thoracic (or middle) part of the spine was an unusual operation. The decompression surgery, he said, can become more complicated if too much bone is removed.
Harris explained that some tears in the material that surrounds the spine close on their own but that some have to be surgically addressed. Harris said Jenks surely would have been told about the possibility of such complications.
"It's highly unlikely something happened in the operating room that caused this," Harris said. "It would more likely be something that evolved after."
Harris stressed that he was speaking in general terms and did not know the specifics of Jenks's case.
Greg Genske, Jenks's agent, did not return several calls seeking comment.

Ultima Online: The Making of a Classic Part 2
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
I worked on UO from 2000 - 2005 (HanseOSI).
UO did not reach 250,000 subscribers in 1999. It was in the summer of 2000 for the UO:R release. This was after Garriot left the company. Raph Koster was no longer present, either. Starr Long was working downstairs on UO2.
I came from a strong MUD background and a heavily influenced fantasy RPG experience (played all the Ultimas and some of them multiple times). The game was poorly coded and had tons of bugs. We spent an entire year stabilizing the game with repeated bug fixes to make it playable. Folks are nostalgic about it and it was a grand endevour, but little was ever told about how much effort was made to make it not crash. Often.
As well as how poorly thought the logic for game systems were that exploits were rampant and ruined gameplay for thousands of people. I know I plugged so many exploits in the game that it seemed that was all I did.
I do agree that EA has squandered the game and that it has taken them 15 years to put out a successful MMO, though. :)

I'm not going to say that I love my family, my friends, I love to laugh, I love fun,....because who doesn't :) Actually, I just did say that, .-----:) Friendship is a key to get things in the right direction. Right now, I'm enjoying every moment in my life. I learned to appreciate every little thing and turn all negative to a positive experience. I'm always hungry to learn, I'm in constant research and admiration of what's around me. My personality is a combination of maturity and playfulness. I have a deep artistic creative imagination at age of 6 I was creating scents and storing them in my parents garden. Easy to get along with, not too picky when it comes to fun. Sometimes, simple little things can impress me enormously. So you don't know what to expect. I turn to a puppy at : Smile, kisses, Caressing, Good manners, Kindness, Sweet talk... And turn to a Tiger at : People trying to take advantage, Business sharks, Liars... Some words about me: easy going, clean cut, entertaining, turn negative to positive, charming, gourmet, traveler, geniune, artistic, adventurous. My mentor is my father (my friend). My mom is the solid ground I stand on. I'm on this site looking for an educated fun girl to start a friendship with potential relationship. I'm not a player or serial dater. And I do not understand how that works. I do not date women that I work with or are close friends.

33 year old man | Niles, IL, USA | Seeking women 25-31 within 40 miles
It's a marathon...not a sprint
Hello!! How about this for an ice breaker? I'm 1/4 of two sets of twins. It sounds crazy, I know, but it is true. We can talk more about that later. I am an independent, loyal, honest and caring person who always puts others ahead of myself. My family and friends are a big part of my life and I enjoy spending time with them often. I enjoy watching and playing sports, running 5Ks (recently the annual Turkey Trot), anything outdoors, and trying new restaurants/ foods (Ethiopian was the latest). I like to make others laugh, sometimes with a dash of sarcasm, and I even have a tendency to laugh without knowing why. In other words, I have a great sense of humor, but also know when to be serious. Everyone needs a little laughter, right? I love traveling and have a long list of destinations I would still like to visit. I consider myself to be open-minded and adventurous, and willing to try just about anything once. This includes zip lining from 70 feet up. So who am I looking for? I am seeking to meet someone genuine with similar characteristics as mine who is well rounded, loyal, and willing to take a chance at a new friendship and possibly more. Loyalty is a code I live by and I place a premium on communication. I also leave game playing to board games. If you enjoy sports, food, traveling, the outdoors, and laughing without knowing why or just staying in, then it sounds like we might be a match. If you want to hear more then you know what to do. I look forward to hearing from you.

Philosophical foundations of globalisation – 1
The term globalisation is a complex phenomenon used to explain the integration of the entire world in various spheres of life but particularly in economics, politics, technology, ecology and culture generally. It is however its economic dimension of interdependence that most people are usually aware of. There is however no doubt that while free trade and economic liberalisation are the dominant face of globalisation, its political dimension of democracy and liberalism are no less important. The economic dimension, especially the mode of production has its concomitant of technological and economic resonance. The homogenized culture of the west has increasingly been exported to the rest of the world in films, music, fashion, religion and even cuisine. Never before than now has it become obvious and glaring that we live in global village. The complexity of the term is captured by Manfred B. Steger (Oxford University Press 2003) when he wrote.
"Since its earlier appearance in the 1960s, the term globalisation has been used in both popular and academic literature to describe a process, a condition, a system, a force and an age. Given that these competing labels have very different meanings, their indiscriminate usage is often obscure and invites confusion." P7
Globalisation marks a transformational period in human history manifesting in changed economic, political and social processes. For ease of treatment, this writer will focus on the economic and political philosophical origin of globalisation. Of course there is no way one can conceive of political and economic transformation without saying a word or two on the impact of these two broad processes on other areas of cultural and ecological aspects of life. Economic globalisation goes back to Adam Smith's ideas contained in his seminal book The Wealth of Nations published on the eve of the American war of Independence in 1776. He argued against mercantilism by which the wealth of nations was hitherto judged by its colonies and high protective tariffs against foreign goods.
Adam Smith had said free trade or lasissez-faire economics increased wealth of all nations because every nation should be able to contribute to the pool of wealth by exploiting its comparative advantage in production. This idea of free trade rooted in market capitalism is at the root of economic globalisation and economic interdependence. The prosperity of post American Independence Britain and largely free trading Western Europe particularly Germany more or less bore out Adam Smith's advocacy of free trade. This idea of free trade is what is in contemporary times institutionalized in such organisation as the World Trade Organisation and other regional economic organisations like NAFTA and in a much more profound and deeper fashion in the European Union.
Economic liberalism sometimes goes hand in hand with political liberalism. Political liberalism has a long history behind it. Starting from the Magna Carta (1215) the struggle against arbitrary government began in England and had repercussions elsewhere. The development of English Common Law and The Bill of Rights (1689) were important milestones in the history of fundamental human rights which constitutes and important pillar of democracy. This idea was further developed through the contributions of Hugo Grotius (The Law of Nations) J. J. Rousseau (The Social Contract) and John Locke (Popular Consent, Limit of Sovereignty). All these ideas were encapsulated in the American declaration of Independence in which the purpose of government was defined as guaranteeing "…life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Later on it was assumed that democratic governments were peaceful on the idealistic basis that all men were good by nature and that given the opportunity to govern themselves they will live in peace with one another in what Emmanuel Kant called foedus pacificum or pacific federation. This idea that it is when there is no democracy that the "war party" of aristocrats and the bourgeoisie plunges state into war is embraced by socialists and Marxists to describe all wars as imperialistic wars fought to carve out markets and areas to invest surplus capital. It is this idea of democracy as means to peaceful interaction of states that has been the central motivating factor in western foreign policy in recent times.
The demise of the Soviet Union and the embrace of state capitalism in China and Vietnam which continue at least to see themselves as socialist states encouraged the American historian Francis Fukuyama to prematurely declare the victory of liberal democracy and capitalism as the "end point of mankind's ideological evolution" and the "final form of human government" in his famous book The End of History and The Last Man (1989). According to Fukuyama the end of the cold war represented the triumph of the liberal idea and in particular of capitalism. He asserted that there can be "no further progress in the development of underlying principles and institutions." He continued that "there is a fundamental process at work that dictates a common evolutionary pattern for all human societies – in short something like a universal history of mankind in the direction of liberal democracy."
As if to bring Fukuyama to reality, Samuel P. Huntington an influential American political scientist (1927-2008) prophesied that western liberalism would eventually be challenged by global Islam in what he suggested would constitute "a clash of civilizations". Al-Qaeda no doubt saw itself as a vanguard of this clash even though fundamentalist Islam did and does not always embrace the terrorism characteristic of the Al-Qaeda type of blind terrorism. Fukuyama's thesis raises some fundamental questions about the implication of globalisation on national sovereignty.

President Vladimir Putin of Russia listed seven steps Wednesday that he said were necessary for a cease-fire in the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Putin said he and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko had a similar understanding about what was needed, and he urged Ukraine and the pro-Russia separatists in the east to reach a settlement at talks scheduled for Friday in Belarus.

Although the Red Sox have a manager for the moment, rumors are still swirling that former Sox pitching coach and current Toronto Blue Jays manager John Farrell could leave the Jays at season's end to become the Red Sox manager. Farrell decided to stay out of the mess by simply saying, "I'm under contract here." This isn't the first time that the Red Sox have tried to poach the Jays skipper. Last year, the Red Sox were said to be interested in Farrell and the Jays set the asking price for Farrell at pitcher Clay Buchholz. The Red Sox backed off and hired Bobby Valentine instead. However, news out of Boston is that players are less than thrilled with Bobby Valentine and that has led to the newest round of rumors in Toronto and Boston. Red Sox upper management has given Valentine a "vote of confidence" and there are no plans to fire him at this time. After potentially losing their skipper last season, the Jays made a change in club policy that prevents employees to break contracts in order to make lateral moves. Before, Jays employees were able to leave for new jobs if they wanted to, but it was rumored that they could only if were a promotion.

VILAMOURA, PORTUGAL - OCTOBER 18: Retief Goosen of South Africa during the final round of the Portugal Masters at the Oceanico Victoria Golf Course on October 18, 2009 in Vilamoura, Portugal. (Photo by Stuart Franklin/Getty Images)
Steven O'Hara held a one-shot lead from Retief Goosen and Merrick Bremner at the halfway mark of the South African Open on Friday. O'Hara holed four birdies in a bogey-free second round of 4-under 68 for the Scot to head into the weekend on 11 under at the Serengeti Golf Club. He needs a top-four finish at the tournament to save his European Tour card next season. Goosen showed signs he has shrugged off his niggling back problem with five birdies and just one bogey as the two-time champion hit a 68. Bremner had the same score after he birdied three of his last five holes to move to 10 under alongside Goosen. Defending champion Ernie Els shot a second successive 69 for a share of 14th place at 6 under. O'Hara, 31, kept his nerve in windy conditions and on fast, testing greens -- and with his immediate tour future in the balance -- to retain the lead he shared with South Africa's Jbe Kruger on Thursday. He had birdies at Nos. 2, 11, 16 and 17 for a one-stroke advantage ahead of t...

HSBC's China services PMI confirms rebound indicated by official figure
Reading for Hong Kong edges higher despite drop in new orders from mainland
Reuters in Beijing and Hong Kong
Most Popular
A private survey released on Tuesday confirmed official figures from the weekend that showed growth in China's services industry edged up last month, offering further indications that the economy has stabilised in the run-up to a key party reform meeting.
The Markit/HSBC services purchasing managers index (PMI) rose to 52.6 from September's 52.4, well above the 50 line that separates expansion from contraction.
The survey showed new business growth was at a seven-month high, and the business outlook for the next 12 months improved on the previous month, although it was still below trend. Employment levels also ticked up.
"Service sectors saw modest but broad-based improvement into 4Q," said HSBC economist Qu Hongbin, in a note accompanying the data.
"This should help cement China's growth momentum in the coming months."
The overall message tallied with that in China's official services PMI on Sunday, which showed a rise to 56.3, the fastest increase in 13 months.
But the two surveys differed in their reports for new orders, with the HSBC survey showing an increase to the highest level since March, while the official survey registered a decrease from the previous month.
The official reading is weighted towards bigger and state-owned firms and tends to come in higher than the HSBC survey, which focuses on smaller and private businesses.
Beijing hopes that the services industry, which has so far weathered the global growth slowdown much better than the factory sector, will become an increasingly important pillar in the economy, allowing China to move away from investment and exports as the main drivers of growth.
Ways to restructure the economy along those lines are expected to be the major focus of the third plenary meeting of top party officials this weekend.
The services sector accounted for about 45 per cent of the economy last year.
Meanwhile, the HSBC PMI for Hong Kong, also released on Tuesday, edged up to 50.1 last month from 50 in September and 49.7 in the two previous months.
The latest PMI figure shows a fractional improvement in operating conditions in the city's private sector, although it rose to its highest level in seven months.
However, new business from mainland China continued to contract last month, and at a faster rate than in September.
Employment contracted for the eighth consecutive month, and at the fastest pace since July.
Overall input prices faced by private-sector companies in Hong Kong increased moderately, at a slower pace than in September. The latest rise in costs reflected higher salaries.
"Despite rising to a seven-month high, Hong Kong's overall business conditions remained mostly flat in the month as the major sub-indices moderated from September, with overall business from China still remaining weak," Qu said.

Exclusive Video: Suzanne Somers Reunites With Her 'Three's Company' Co-Star Joyce DeWitt
Three's Company" co-star Joyce DeWitt!Look who's come knocking on Suzanne Somers' door: It's her old "
After 30 years of not speaking following Somers' bitter departure from the hit '70s sitcom, the former castmates finally reunited this week on Somers' new Web series from CafeMom, "Suzanne Somers' Breaking Through." Somers abruptly left "Three's Company" in 1981 after producers refused her salary demands, which led to the three-decade rift between her and DeWitt. But the two old friends were both more than happy to put the ugly past behind them: DeWitt said during the reunion, "I'm glad we're going to do this," with Somers adding, "I'm really glad to get to know you all over again."
The ladies (who spent five seasons together playing roommates Chrissy Snow and Janet Wood) reminisced about their glory days on set, shared memories of their late co-star John Ritter -- and even took a stab at singing the always-catchy "Three's Company" theme song. (They still know the words!)
Get an exclusive sneak peek at the impromptu duet right here:
Head over to CafeMom's YouTube channel to see the full interview -- and good luck getting that theme song out of your head.

We had Gino and employee Billy Renkart look the Camaro over and give us a list of what would work. They listened to our requests (hide as much of the system as possible, make it look factory, and keep the rear hatch space available so we could still use the T-tops), and gave us a grocery list of stereo equipment that would not only work together, but also bring the car into the 21st century.
While our install included the best of the best-such as the Sirius satellite radio install (for the NASCAR channel, of course), and an iPod hookup to replace the 12-disc CD changer-a good system, including parts and labor, will cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $3,000-$4,000. While this may be a bit pricey for some, when you turn the system on for the first time after it's completed, it will all be worth it. Take it from us. To try and put into words what the Alpine stereo system in the Camaro sounds like would be like trying to get Simon Cowell to be nicer to American Idol contestants. The install photos will show you how we got the job done, but only one word comes to mind to describe the final result: Bitchin'!
In addition to trusting the advice from the pros, we had CarTech Books ship over a copy of How to Design and Install High-Performance Car Stereo by Joe Pettit. The updated version was a good read that explained in terms we could understand what different components do in a stereo system. The text gave us insight into how parts such as the amps, enclosures, subwoofers, and head unit work, and how to install and hook them up. We still took the Camaro to Gino because we wanted the job done professionally, but any neophyte can gather what's needed to put together a system if they read this book.
In addition to installing the stereo equipment, we also did a quickie install of a couple of items from Vehicle Enhancement Labs (VE Labs). VE dropped their RadCap and Voltage Sponge in the mail for us to install on the F-body. The RadCap, besides looking cool with its chrome finish, is designed to pull electricity out of the coolant in the radiator. Why is this important? Electrolysis, a by-product of voltage in engine coolant, eats away at the aluminum in the radiator, causing it to spring a leak. Since we were running more juice through the car, the RadCap was put on to try to lengthen the life of the radiator. In addition, VE Labs' Voltage Sponge was installed to draw residual electricity out of the area around the amplifiers. VE Labs ran the Voltage Sponge through a series of tests, and with its usage around the area of the amplifiers, where there was increased static electricity, the part mopped up the extra static electricity, which ultimately leads to a clearer sound.
The original mounting location for the tweeters was in the door panel right behind the cover for the door speakers. According to Gino Santaguida, this was a bad location for two reasons. First, to mount it, the door panel had to be cut. Second, where it was mounted, the tweeter, which is responsible for the highs in the system, was directing the highs into my knee when I was in the car. The purpose of a tweeter is to broadcast the highs before they diminish, and the ideal location is to get them as high in the car as possible. Once Gino disconnected the old tweeters, Billy removed the door panel.
With the door panels removed, Billy removed the door speakers from both sides. While disconnecting the speakers, he also looked for any problems within the wiring.
