President Scott S. Cowen
Tulane University
May 18, 2002
Good morning! It is my great pleasure to welcome our graduates, and their families and friends to this joyous celebration.
Today is a defining moment in your life. It is a time that you will forever remember. Defining moments often give meaning to our lives and shape who we are and what we stand for. Because of their importance, I would like to spend a few minutes talking about Defining Moments.
December 7, 1941. America is attacked on its home front at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii.
November 22, 1963. John F. Kennedy, our young president on whom so many hopes rested, is gunned down in a Dallas motorcade.
April 4, 1968. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., a man of God and man of peace who personified the civil rights movement, is assassinated in Memphis.
May 4, 1970. Four Kent State college students are shot and killed by national guardsmen in a moment that defined the chaos of the Vietnam era.
For many of you who are graduating today, these are defining moments of the last half-century that you have read about in books and studied in class- events that took place before you were born. But for your parents and grandparents, these events are moments when time stopped for us, when our lives and activities came to a halt as we watched and waited and listened for the heartbeats that would assure us the world we knew would continue, albeit altered.
Even though the events I just cited are from an American perspective, the concept, relevancy and life altering impact of Defining Moments are common to all of us in this audience regardless of our country of citizenship. The specific examples may clearly differ by cultural heritage, but their importance on the lives of those who experience them are equally profound. I'd like to add another date to my list, one with which all of us can identify more directly and will always share together: September 11, 2001. For the rest of our lives, we all will be able to recall what we were doing, thinking and feeling when we heard about the attacks on America and its way of life. You will remember when, during your college years at Tulane, the world stopped and held its breath in the knowledge that inevitable change was coming.
So, today, you who are graduating at Tulane's 2002 commencement live in a very different world than the one in which you entered this university. You face a very different world than the one that awaited Tulane graduates of even one year ago. You leave here, as graduates before you, with the knowledge and skills that accompany your Tulane University degree. You also leave with an indelible mark left on you by the events of September 11.
Today is not the time or place to deeply analyze those events, but it is perhaps a time to reflect on the possible ways it might change our lives and how you can play a role in making those changes positive ones. Because as horrific as September 11 was, there ARE positive things and lessons learned that have come from it.
We have a renewed understanding of community and of what it means to be a nation under attack.
We have a renewed understanding of the word "resiliency" and what it means to bounce back in times of tragedy.
We have a renewed understanding of patriotism and courage, and what it means to have the freedoms and ideals we enjoy in a democratic society.
And we have a renewed understanding of our place in the world and what implications our actions have on those of other nations and cultures.
I suspect the results of 9/11 provided you with even more of an education at Tulane than you bargained for, didn't they?? It would be easy today to focus on negativity and uncertainty. You will be entering a different economy and job market, a different political and social and financial realm than your predecessors.
But you also will be entering a world that will be filled with a renewed energy, unity and steely determination. And you will be entering that world armed with a solid education that taught you how to think, to create, to learn, to grow- in essence, how to live. Perhaps more than any previous generation in recent memory, you will have the opportunity to have a substantial impact on the world. How will you choose to live your life?
With that in mind, I'd like to share a few hopes I have for you as you leave here to start new lives, new careers or continue your educational endeavors.
For the undergraduates leaving here today, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for you and fond memories of our time together. We came to Tulane at the same time and I fondly remember you and your parents from the first day we met on a sultry day in August. I have seen you grow and develop in the last fours in a way that has made me extraordinarily proud of your accomplishments. You came as young adults and you leave today much different people. I want to personally thank you for making my first four years at Tulane so special. I will miss you.
As you all leave us today, I wish you love and luck and laughter. I urge you to get involved, to care about others, and to use your tremendous talents and gifts to help bring about peace and understanding to a world that deserves it.
Godspeed and thank you all for making Tulane such a special place.
Office of the President Emeritus, 1555 Poydras St, Suite 700, New Orleans, LA 70112 504-274-3638 email@example.com

What's so important about thinking beyond ICD-10 compliance?
In the context of ICD-10 compliance, getting to Oct. 1, 2014 will represent a key milestone for each health system, hospital, and physician practice that puts in the time and resources. However, it doesn't mean that the work is done and it's time to rest. It's simply the beginning of staying competitive in a new healthcare environment.
"October 2 is going to be an interesting day. We're all showing up for work that day. That's when the fun will start," JaeLynn Williams, Senior VP of Client Operations at 3M, told EHRIntelligence.com during a sitdown interview at AHIMA 2013.
"They haven't had the time to sit back and let the dust settle and consider how this is actually changing operations in their facilities," she continues. "What can I do today that I couldn't do before? They have to ask that question now."
Until the morning after October 1, the healthcare industry will have its head down, focused on taking care of the different activities that will enable them to achieve compliance. But once this is achieved a new need will take its place. "The world now looks different and they're going to want analytics that help them understand the ICD-10 data. There's a big opportunity there because there's also more data there," Williams argues.
Healthcare organizations of all shapes and sizes will want to understand the data that they have. According to Williams, being able to analyze this information will subsequently become the top priority for these organizations:
They'll have a pause here as they do all of their testing with their payers, and in early 2015 the leading systems will do this while the smaller systems won't be there quite yet. It's going to become a competitive advantage for those who jump in, plan their strategy, understand their sources of data, and map out their gaps.
In particular, Williams believes that three areas will be of immediate importance. The first deals with documentation.
"Even those who have had longstanding documentation improvement programs, as we start to run those through our ICD-10 autosuggestion engine it cannot suggest a code because there's a key piece right up front that's not there," she explains. "That gives us any early view at real customer records from large systems that we've started to run through — that their data isn't as good. On October 2, they are going to be saying that they need to understand those gaps."
The second area has to do with all that ICD-9 data. Although it belongs to an outmoded coding system, this information is still needed by physicians and clinicians. In order to maintain a longitudinal view of a patient's health, providers must be able to map information between data elements coded for ICD-9 to those coded for ICD-10.
"On October 2, they still care about what happened in September, August, and July," notes Williams. "They won't have their ICD-9-trended information, so they're going to want to know how they can get a view of that information."
The third area concerns interactions with payers. According to Williams, this area will raise many questions for healthcare organizations as they seek to keep payments flowing predictably:
What is all this data and how is it going to be used to make a tougher negotiation? How will that detriment my payment because now they have this data? The larger systems will start to take some proactive steps to understand and prep for what potentially could be a financial hit.
In many cases, their ability to understand the data they have will be the only line of defense for these organizations as they work with their payers. "You're not going to be able to argue your point or defend it," adds Williams.
Until now, talk of ICD-10 compliance has focused on the minimum things health systems, hospitals, and physician practices must do. Going forward, doing just enough to maintain compliance with ICD-10 won't ensure a healthcare organization's odds of staying competitive with its peers.

1. General
SN Power www.snpower.com was established in June 2002. It is owned by the Norwegian state electricity company Statkraft (60%) and the Norwegian state development investment fund, Norfund (40%). In 2010 it had:
- 466 employees in SN Power and subsidiaries
- 17 plants in five countries across three continents
- Net installed capacity 2009 950MW
- Mean annual generation: 4 000 GWh/yr
- Operating revenue 2009: 119 MUSD
- Net Profit 2009: 33 MUSD
- Equity 2009: 1 215 MUSD
- Four projects under development
SN Power previously described its strategy as aiming at becoming privatised through an IPO sale on the stock exchange, and all its investments included planned early exit strategic options. It has now dropped this and says it is a long-term investor in hydropower in developing countries:
"This positions the company at the intersection of two global megatrends: the growth in emerging markets and in renewable energy. SN Power aims to quadruple its equity generation capacity from 950 MW to 4000 MW by 2015. Key to SN Power`s strategy is the aim to be a long-term industrial investor, capitalising on its Norwegian and international hydropower competence and expertise and to seek a controlling influence in all business activities."
2. Operating subsidiaries
It operates in Peru, Chile, India, Nepal and Philippines, and is trying to gain business in Brazil, Costa Rica, Vietnam, and now plans to expand into Africa.
2.1. Peru:
SN Power has been established in Peru since 2003 when the company acquired 100 per cent of the shares in Cahua S.A., a Peruvian hydropower company. In 2007, SN Power further strengthened its presence in the country and became the fifth largest electricity producer through the acquisition of Electroandes S.A. In 2010 a process to consolidate the management structure and operations of the two entities was completed and the two entities were merged to form SN Power Peru S.A.
- Arcata (5 MW) - Facility consists of four plants in Arequipa region of southern Peru
- Cahua (43 MW) - Plant located ca 200km north of Lima
- Gallito Ciego (38 MW) - Plant is situated downstream of the Gallito Ciego dam, used primarily for irrigation purpose
- La Oroya (9 MW) - Plant at over 3600 m over sea level in operation since 1914
- Malpaso (54.4 MW) - Plant located in the Yauli province
- Pachachaca (9 MW) - Plant at over 4000 m over sea level in operation since 1917
- Pariac (4,9 MW) - Facility with five plants takes water from the Pariac River
- Yaupi (108 MW) - The largest hydropower facility in SN Power`s Peru portfolio

2.3. India
SN Power entered the Indian power market in 2004 when it acquired 49 per cent of the shares in Malana Power Company Limited (MPCL), where Indian LNJ Bhilwara Group is the majority owner. SN Power is currently involved at two significant hydropower plants in India - Malana and Allain Duhangan, and is the only foreign investor to enter the hydropower sector. To further business expansion in India and elsewhere in the South Asia region, in 2009, SN power signed a partnership agreement with Tata Power Corporation to jointly develop hydropower projects in India and Nepal.
- Malana - One of the first private independent power producers operational in India.
2.4. Nepal
SN Power entered Nepal in 2006 through the transfer of Statkraft`s majority share (57.1 per cent) in Himal Power Limited (HPL), which now supplies nearly 10% of Nepal's electricity.
- Khimti 1
Supplies almost 10 per cent of Nepal`s total electricity output
2.5. Philippines

4. Issues
According to SOMO's 2009 'Down to the Wire' http://somo.nl/publications-en/Publication_3091 :
4.1. India, Allain Dughangan – construction deaths
"an October 2008 report by Norfund revealed that 15 workers lost their lives on SN Power electricity projects in developing countries between 2005 and 2008. Most of the workers were employees of contractors or sub-contractors, and the majority of the fatalities (11) occurred at the Allain Duhangan hydropower project in northern India, of which SN Power owns a 43% minority stake. Three additional deaths occurred on the La Higuera project in Chile and one on the Conferencia project, also in Chile. In addition to the 11 fatalities at the Indian Allain Duhangan project, there were an additional 81 personal injuries requiring treatment at hospital or an out-patient clinic. SN Power blames the accidents on dangerous conditions at the site (rough and very steep terrain, high risk of rock falls and avalanches, and harsh climatic conditions) as well on "a lack of knowledge and experience with implementing high health and safety standards in the project company", AD Hydro.[1] SN Power's President and CEO expressed his "disappointment" with AD Hydro's management (the Indian-based NLJ Bhilwara Group is the project's manager and principal shareholder with 45% of shares) and asserted that SN Power is taking action to improve the OHS standards at the plant."
4.2. Peru, Cahua – no union
The Cahua power station employs 30 permanent workers, but they are not organised in a trade union. In fact, none of Cahua S.A.'s employees are member of a trade union. The former trade union was closed when the company was privatised, and no new trade union has since been established.[2] Employees of ElectroAndes are organised in a union affiliated with the national power sector trade union. Union leaders have indicated that their trade union rights have been respected since the merger in 2007.[3] The union primarily represents workers employed directly by ElectroAndes, but some contract workers are also members.
The union played a strong role during SN Power's acquisition of ElectroAndes and the consequent restructuring, a time when there were worries about lay-offs and redundancies. At one point, ElectroAndes employees were forced to take 15-20-day holidays. Upon return, no employees were made redundant, but many were transferred to other positions. However, workers did indicate that they were forced to work overtime hours without compensation during the restructuring process.[4] The threat of future redundancies also still looms, and workers continue to worry about their job safety. One worker stated:
"…nowadays in a technological world a machine does what 10 people used to, and I have heard that only a few would remain in the power station while the rest would later be fired…It is not a large staff, and we've been informed that it will be reduced even more, because of the new owners and the new technology; there will be too many workers, that is the last information we have, and many people are extremely worried…"- ElectroAndes employee[5]
In 2007, Cahua S.A. developed capacity building programmes for its staff in the fields of leadership and safety.[6] It also developed two employment programmes: a permanent employment programme giving preference to workers who reside in the areas where the company operates, and a temporary employment programme through which it hires qualified and non-qualified personnel for the power station's operation and maintenance. This policy is also applied to the contractors who provide services to the power stations.
With regard to occupational health and safety, Cahua S.A. achieved OHSAS 18001:2000 certification for all its production facilities and administrative offices in 2007, and the company has implemented new OHS indicators in coordination with SN Power's HSE Management in Norway. The company has established a Safety Committee comprised of both worker and company representatives. In 2007, the accident frequency rate in 2007 was 0.01 accidents per 226,800 yearly hours worked in its production facilities.[7] At the time of this research, the Cahua power station had reached a half-million man-hours without accidents. Workers confirmed that Cahua S.A. follows rigorous OHS methods and regulations. [8]

5. Evaluation of conservation outcome: habitat suitability, connectivity and persistence
Researchers: Atte Moilanen, Jussi Laitila and Federico Montesino Pouzols
Selection of reserve networks requires data on the distributions of species or communities of conservation importance. It is nowadays widely accepted that reserve selection based on just presence or presence/absence records of certain species may result in reserve networks that are small and fragmented, and which will not ensure the long-term persistence of biodiversity (Cabeza & Moilanen, 2001). Reasons for this can be found in the type of data used: a snap-shot of the occurrence of biodiversity, without consideration of site quality variation.
As landscapes and species communities are dynamic in space and time, site quality varies as well. Reserve selection methods need to account for landscape dynamics and connectivity, to avoid selecting small (cheap) fragments as a reserve, which in practice are sinks from large (but expensive) habitat patches nearby, which remain unprotected and might therefore be lost (Cabeza, 2003; Cabeza & Moilanen, 2003; Van Teeffelen et al. 2005). Zonation (see topic 3 is a framework that can easily account for variable site quality. Variation in site quality can be taken into account by predicting species distribution based on environmental information, with so called habitat models or species distribution models (see Elith et al. 2006 for review). Predictions from these models give insight into site quality differences throughout the landscape. However, these models typically consider only local variables, whereas connectivity to surrounding habitat and populations are of major importance to population dynamics and therefore population persistence.
Cabeza (2003) was among the first to combine connectivity measures and habitat models in reserve selection. We have investigated a number of different (species-specific) ways of including connectivity effects into spatial prioritization (Cabeza 2003; Moilanen 2005a, 2005b; Moilanen et al. 2005; Moilanen and Wintle 2006, 2007; Moilanen et al. 2008). While connectivity can be deal with semi-rigorously, the translation from habitat amount, habitat quality and connectivity persistence remains a difficult question, which requires application of techniques such as metapopulation models or PVA simulation models.
There is substantial knowledge in the MRG about the influences of spatial pattern to connectivity and persistence, and our collaborators including Dr Jane Elith (Melbourne), Dr John Leathwick (NIWA, NZ) and Dr Simon Ferrier (CSIRO) are substantially experienced in the development of habitat models. Habitat quality, connectivity and persistence are fundamental quantities of population biology and conservation, and they will continue to be basic building blocks of the analyses we develop.

How to Make an Invisible Cloak
Ever thought to yourself "Hmm... I wonder how can I make one of those fancy cloaks that Harry Potter has?" While true invisibility is impossible, you can use multiple cameras to create the illusion of transparency. This technique was first demonstrated by Kazutoshi Obana, a graduate student at Tokyo University in 2003. Oh yeah make sure to read the Discuss page.

1Buy a nice big white piece of fabric possibly 4' x 9'.
2Buy 2 mini cameras.
3Cut our fabric in two halves, lengthwise.
4Put both of the halves on top of each other, and then cut out 2 L-shaped pieces for the arms of your shirt.
5Sew together both pieces of fabric into a shirt figure.
6Buy 2 mini projectors and 2 battery packs.
7Cut a small hole in the center of the back and the front of the shirt
8Put the lens in between the holes.
9Connect the cables to the opposite side of the shirt (red - red; yellow- yellow; white - white)
10Turn on the cameras and the projectors, and there you have an invisibility shirt!
Community Q&A
- Instead of making your own shirt, you can just buy a white T-shirt, not those undershirt types, buy a nice thick shirt 2 sizes higher then yours
- If you are a super safety freak, you can put some sort of rubber casing around the electric wires, or you could get an electrician to do it for you.
- Do not turn on during a storm

Quick Weekend Round-up
A couple of quick notes from Spring Training action over the weekend, besides the obvious – it's good to see actual spring training baseball!
Saturday – Three former BlueClaws played for Houston against the Phillies at Bright House Field. Jarred Cosart threw two perfect innings, including a strikeout of Ryan Howard, while Josh Zeid threw a scoreless inning and Jonathan Villar went 0-2…Cole Hamels threw two scoreless innings for the Phillies.
Sunday – Travis d'Arnaud worked with future battery-mate Matt Harvey yesterday. The rundown from the NY Daily News:
The catcher admitted he did not have the same comfort going into Sunday's game, his first since a knee injury in June. He was so "amped" up about getting back in a game he listened to classical music beforehand to try and calm himself down.
"Not playing for nine months, I was ready to play all year long and all offseason," d'Arnaud said. "So I was excited."
Be sure to read Phillies Insider from Larry Shenk. He has some great spring training insight at his blog on the MLBlogs network.

in no particular order São Paulo, Johannesburg and Liverpool. No wait. Liverpool for obvious reasons
....and we really are here. That's why I do enjoy The Reg
We all know how hard it is being a supermodel, I think she deserves twice the funding having worked so hard around her already busy schedule.
The Flex is rechargeable and the battery lasts 5 days between recharges.
I thank you.
Put it on my Samsung TV too please...
- "Focking prawn"
- such a touching film. I always thought it would be a difficult transition from the book. I was wrong.
- I really enjoyed Brainstorm - thanks for the memory jogger. I should have recorded it instead!
- I'll throw in a vote for Cube. Brilliant idea and can I just say - IMHO Australia consistently makes brilliant Sci-Fi - think Pitch Black, Mad Max, Dark City hmm? Hmm?
- me too "Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse."
What about Moon? A truly original story brilliantly made and Sam Rockwell carrying the whole thing.
+1 for Silent Running - it made me cry too
+1 for Soylent Green - Soylent Green is people
But what about Akira - or are we keeping away from Anime?
Drinking perfume is for tramps. Bewleys Irish Breakfast tea is the tea of proper tea drinkers. It will dissolve your teaspoon at 6 paces.
Blending your own tea is only a "light on your feet" hop skip and jump away from drinking coffee, unless you do it for a living.
Have you though about asking his brother to take his place? He might not be as well trained but he has a strong heart and there is the 50% weight saving to be considered?
...it is a very small chopper
Purportedly invented by Archimedes recent research has shown. So it must be good.
No help from Q branch and see who comes out top.
My money is on George L. beating Daniel C. in the final round.
David Niven should get a mention or is this piece being sponsored by EON?
Just a thought, but you only need to heat the ignition area, and this could be brought up to temp shortly before launch. So less kit needed, less kit=less weight.
Assuming you need only a slight differential in wind speeds to provide the weather vane effect, why not put a small drogue 'chute on the end of the truss to act as a wind anchor rather than a vane
The tether for this should be long enough so that the amount of movement in the drogue is less apparent at the attachment point.
A few years ago, I saw an old friend of mine in the pub whom I had not seen for a couple of years. He was looking trim and a lot happier than I had seen him in many years.
Wondering why I had not seen him for so long, he explained that the manager/owner of the poxy little insurance company he was working at since leaving school had finally pushed him too far.
[name removed under legal advice] had worked his arse off for this place for several years and even took on the roll of system admin/manager because the boss was too cheap to employ one. Working constant late nights, weekends etc. and never recognised for the value he added to the company, meanwhile the nagging boss kept pushing him harder and harder.
So one night, he poured petrol through the letter box and set fire to it, eventually burning most of the building to the ground.
"How did the police know it was you?" I asked.
"I was waiting for them outside watching it burn" he replied.
I often think that 18months was probably worth the satisfaction in knowing that the boss knew not only who did it but why.
I am probably not alone in thinking that Snakes on a Plane is a comedy masterpiece.
Bad News - did you know that this Comic Strip Presents classic actually came out before Spinal Tap?
Mr Jolly Lives next door has to be one of the best films of all time. "Nicolas bloody Parsons!"
So the police spend their day checking out Facebook? Tax money well spent - why is it not blocked in this particular station? Is Facebook data mined by the police these days to pick out people who say "nasty" things about them/government/photographers?
200 quid to fly a chopper? Well I'll book it for a week please, and maybe the iPolice can share the secrets of flying for so cheap - I am sure BA would be interested.
God help you all - all you Bored Brits waiting in damp queues to complain about the lenth of the queue.
I would go on but I am going to the beach now with glass bottles of COLD beer.

I have the issue that when I have a lot of tabs open, switching to a new tab will cause a long delay in page loading, making the application pretty hard to use.
I do have 4GB of ram, however Chrome seems to reach this level quite often - is there anything I can do - other than controlling the amount of tabs I have open - to address this and the tab delays that it causes?
Would buying a SSD help my cause? Currently Chrome is installed on a 7200 rpm hard-drive.

I cooked something new this week: Soft Shell Crab. I grew up in Maryland and used to catch these as a kid, but I never new how to make them. This week they were on sale for $6.50 per crab so I asked the seafood guy to give me a simple recipe and boy were these delicious.
Three Soft shell crabs
Egg-beat and place in flat bowl.
1/2 cup flour
Clean crabs by cutting off face, removing lungs and underbelly flap. Rinse and dry crabs. Dip crabs in flour on both sides. Heat a non-stick skillet on Medium-high. Place crabs in egg mixture-be sure to coat both sides. Place crabs in heated pan. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side. When done the crab will be a red-gold color and a bit crunchy on the edges. Enjoy with corn and a tomato salad.

Singapore Airlines Ltd will buy a 10 per cent stake in Virgin Australia Holdings Ltd for A$105 million ($108 million), stepping up its competition with rival Qantas Airways Ltd in the lucrative Australian market.
The move by Singapore Airlines, the world's second-largest carrier by market value, marks both a step to preserve its dominant position in the Asia-Pacific premium air travel market and an effort to deal with its troubled budget associate, Tiger Airways Holdings Ltd.
As part of a series of deals revealed on Tuesday, Virgin, Australia's No.2 carrier, will buy 60 per cent of Tiger Australia for A$35 million and invest a further A$62.5 million to increase the fleet size to 35 aircraft from 11 by 2018.
City Index analyst Peter Esho said Qantas's ambition to become a premium player in the Asia-Pacific aviation market was meeting stiff resistance from Singapore Airlines.
We see today's move by Singapore Airlines as a strategic shift down south to back Qantas's main domestic competitor, he said.
Virgin is also buying regional and charter carrier Skywest , which services fly-in fly-out mining camps, in a deal worth A$93 million.
Virgin shares rose as much as 6.5 per cent to A$0.49 and shares in Skywest surged 53 per cent to A$0.43. Qantas shares were flat, while Singapore Airlines rose 0.4 per cent.
Shares in Tiger Airways, 33 per cent owned by Singapore Airlines, were suspended after the carrier reported a S$18 million second-quarter net loss.
Partner up
Virgin's efforts to shore up its position follow Qantas's proposed 10-year alliance with Dubai's Emirates, revealed last month. Qantas ditched its 17-year alliance with British Airways, owned by IAG, in favour of a 10-year alliance with Emirates, a key step in the carrier's efforts to shore up its loss-making international business.
Qantas, which has been propped up by earnings from its domestic operations, will operate through Dubai rather than Singapore as part of that deal.
Singapore will join unlisted Etihad Airways, Abu Dhabi's flag carrier, in taking a minority equity stake in Virgin. Etihad also has a 10 per cent stake.
Singapore and Tiger recognise how difficult it would be to continue to operate in the Australian market and this is a good resolution for them, said White Funds Management portfolio manager Angus Gluskie, who holds Virgin shares.
The three deals would make Virgin a stronger competitor in all segments, including budget, domestic and international, Virgin Chief Executive John Borghetti said in a conference call with analysts and media.

Originally from World Arbitration And Mediation Review (WAMR)
Preview Page
By Mary Helen Mourra∗
In the 1990s, after more than one hundred years of resistance and
hostility to international arbitration, Latin American countries rapidly began
to ratify the relevant conventions on international commercial arbitration
and the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards. Today, all
Latin American countries are parties to the United Nations Convention on
the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958 (the
New York Arbitration Convention) and the Inter-American Convention on
International Commercial Arbitration (the Panama Convention). Most have
signed the International Convention on the Settlement of Investment
Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States (the ICSID
Convention).1 Most either amended old arbitration laws or adopted new
arbitration laws that reflect modern international standards recognizing
arbitration as a valid and enforceable mechanism of dispute resolution for
international commercial disputes.
The dramatic reversal in Latin America's receptiveness to international
arbitration is probably best explained by a combination of factors. The
factors to which the change is most frequently attributed are the
overwhelming exigencies that globalization has placed on all States that
wish to compete in the world economy and the need to facilitate
international trade with a neutral forum for dispute resolution. While those
factors have played a powerful role in bringing about legislative changes in
countries across the world, other equally influential factors played a central
role in pushing Latin America into the arena. Since its independence, Latin
America has relied heavily on foreign capital to finance its development.
While foreign capital has helped foster development in Latin America, it has
frequently burdened it with foreign debt. The relationship between Latin
American countries and foreign capital sources may explain, at least in part,
the reason for the one hundred years of hostility toward arbitration as well as
the recent and sudden change of attitude.

I'm making a swing application with maven and I try to keep the pom.xml under tight reins (this file tends to become a pile of junk after pasting there whatever we find in google).
My pom is with jar and I use the maven-assembly-plugin with "jar-with-dependencies" descriptor. So I need to define twice the part of my project (main class and versions), once for the normal jar and the other once for the jar-with-dependencies.
I think the problem comes from the jar-with-dependencies assembly descriptor, instead of unpacking the normal jar and fusion the manifests, it creates a new jar from ${project.build.outputDirectory} wich smells strange to me.
Does anybody have a compact and elegant idea to avoid this repetition of my manifest configuration ?
Thanks, Nicolas.

CORNELIUS – Luke Maye, halfway into his high school basketball career, is among North Carolina's best. That's good news for Hough High fans eager to see him for two more seasons and unsettling for opponents plotting to contain the talented sophomore.
Maye, a 6-foot-7 forward, was the centerpiece of a Huskies team that went 23-6 and reached the fourth round of the N.C. 4A playoffs. He averaged 18.9 points, 13.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocked shots, and is the Herald Weekly's Boy Basketball Player of the Year.
"I liked that we made a great run as a team," Maye said. "We had a great journey."
Maye turned heads as a polished freshman, when he became an instant starter and contributor. He turned even more heads this season. The season opener was a 30-point, 19-rebound performance against Independence High.
Maye didn't have any falloff from there.
He had a 25-rebound game against Providence. He sank five three-pointers in a game against Lake Norman. He consistently topped 20 points.
Then, in a playoff victory against McDowell, Maye became the first Hough player to record a "20-20" game, with 28 points and 21 rebounds. A few days later, Maye put a defensive clamp on West Charlotte All-America center Kennedy Meeks (a North Carolina signee) by limiting him to 12 points and five rebounds in Hough's 61-52 playoff victory. Maye's stat line that night: 19 points, 14 rebounds and three assists.
Hough coach Justin Batts said Maye's improvement came from being able to "stretch the floor," meaning Maye wasn't a typical 6-7 high schooler parked beneath the basket.
Maye's jump shot improved. He led Hough with 44 three-pointers. He got out on the fast break and was fearless driving to the basket.
"He can shoot 25 feet from the basket, but at the same time he can come off cuts, catch and finish with contact," Batts said.
That skill set is uncommon at the high-school level, which has Maye entrenched on college recruiters' radar. He's been to prestigious camps in the off-season, with more on the horizon. The notoriety doesn't seem to bother him.
"I feel like if I just keep playing hard that'll settle out," Maye said. "The best part of the season was how much friendship we had on the team and all the things we did together as a team."
Hough High's Justin Batts endured his program's growing pains last season and reaped sweet rewards this year.
The third-year Huskies, who won six games a year ago, went 23-6 this season and advanced four rounds into the state playoffs. That makes Batts the Herald Weekly's Boys Basketball Coach of the Year.
Hough was 13-3 in the I-MECK 4A conference, good for second place in one of the state's best conferences. Batts' squad had playoff victories against Vance, McDowell and West Charlotte, the first three in school history. They lost to eventual N.C. 4A champion Olympic High in the regional, but that didn't dampen Hough's breakout season.
Batts blended the talents of sophomore forward Luke Maye with point guard Drexler Clark and defensive stopper Sanders Poff to form one of the area's top teams.

For energy, sleep and lower priced than collagen
Posted by Reviewer2165848 on Jul 11, 2010
After taking a tbsp a day for a few days I have much more energy. I also feel more alert and clearheaded. I take it at night as I feel sleepy the first few hours after taking it. This is basically the same as collagen but not as finely ground.

this helps my bones/joint/skin and cracking.... i have osteopenia
Easy to use
Posted by Reviewer2261289 on Oct 30, 2011
I use this as a supplement in juice. I just shake it up in a sports bottle with some juice and drink it immediately. It is supposed to be good for joints, etc. It is difficult to notice when pain goes away because it's not supposed to be there in the first place. However, I do notice that my neck and shoulders are less stiff than before I started using it. I will continue to use it.

Easy to use and flavourless. Perfect for making Jell_O like desserts, or just ad them in a hot drink as a supplement.
works great!

So far I have added this to my coffee, made gummies w/ and without fruit, made fruit pie, and made marshmallows with no issue. This product has no taste and no smell.
I like it!

I really like this gelatin--It has no taste, can be mixed with anything (I mix it with my morning smoothie for some protein,or put it in soup)and mixes very easily without clumping. I haven't been using long enough to notice health effects yet, but will try to repost when I do. Will definitely order again!
Very good
Posted by goodiesforme on May 06, 2015
It is great for making desserts and also health benefits are already seen. My knees hurt less. Probably will buy again.
Love it
Posted by Reviewer2541215 on Mar 01, 2013
I'm taking this for joints and bowel care. It's a bit early to tell but it tastes fine and is easy to mix with water.
Good Product

Making Progress Means Investing In Every Drop
Making progress means investing in every drop.
Kudos to the City of San Diego who seems to be ready to rise to the challenge of restoring balance to its water usage and the realities of an over stretched and dwindling supply.
The San Diego City Council approved new water purification plans intended to produce up to 40 percent of the city's current water usage.
Public health officials and advocates also attributed the plans to an American Rivers ranking that placed the Colorado River at the top of its America's Most Endangered Rivers® list.
"Last week the Colorado River was named the most endangered river in the county, yet this is the main source of our drinking water," San Diego Coastkeeper's waterkeeper and Water Reliability Coalition Co-Chair Jill Witkowski said in a press release. "It's monumental for the city of San Diego to take this huge step toward producing our own safe drinking water to relieve our dependence on the Colorado."
The purification plant could supply up to 88 million of the 200 million gallons of water that the city uses every day.
This is precisely the reason we asked supporters and people who care about the Colorado River to tell Congress to follow the Bureau of Reclamation's recent study on with bold action and robust and effective funding levels for the Bureau of Reclamation's WaterSmart and Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse programs. These programs help cities like San Diego to pursue state-of the art water conservation, optimize existing water infrastructure, maximize available water supplies, and provide healthy river flows for communities and ecosystems.
Stay classy San Diego!!!

India's civil space program is coming under increasing scrutiny. In March 2011, India successfully tested a ballistic missile defense system. Shortly after the test, V.K. Saraswat, scientific adviser to the defense minister and director general of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), stated that the defense system proved India's capability to effectively neutralize an adversary's satellite. In the third installment of the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy series "China and South Asia's Future," Bharath Gopalaswamy, a scholar in the Judith Reppy Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies at Cornell University, offered an overview of how far the Indian space program has come and where it is headed. This event was moderated by Carnegie's Lora Saalman.
The concept of Aerospace Command remains at a level of academic debate within India, but Gopalaswamy noted that India has established a sector dedicated to space technology under the command of the Integrated Defence Services.
Satellites play a central role in a number of countries' economic and military pursuits and space debris from the United States, Russia, and China already endangers other objects launched into space. Gopalaswamy offered some predictions on the evolution of India's space program.

Church burglaries and check scams being investigated in PTC. Read full alert for all available details.
Church Burglaries:
The Peachtree City Police Department is investigating the burglaries of Peachtree City Christian Church and St. Paul Lutheran Church. These burglaries occurred overnight from November 22, 2010 to November 23, 2010, when unknown persons used a pry tool to force their way inside both churches and then into administrative offices. The objective of these crimes is currently unknown. Local businesses and churches are encouraged to increase the frequency of their bank deposits during this holiday season. If a suspicious vehicle or person is observed in the area of a business or church, please call the Fayette County E-911 center at 770-461-HELP (4357) to report it.
Bank Scams:
The Peachtree City Police Department is investigating recent cases of forged checks that are similar to other forged check scams in the Metro-Atlanta area. One subject was arrested on November 22, 2010 when he entered a local bank and attempted to cash a check that was fraudulently written in his name. These scams often involve homeless people acting on behalf of a third party, who is usually waiting in a nearby vehicle. Bank employees and citizens are encouraged to pay close attention to people who are acting strangely or unusually nervous while attempting to cash checks. Witnesses should take note of physical characteristics and clothing of the people attempting to cash these checks, as well as the vehicle description (make, model and color) and occupant information, as this information is very important. If such activity is observed, please call the Fayette County E-911 center at 770-461-HELP (4357) to report your observations.
If anyone has any additional information regarding these crimes or any other information, please call the Peachtree City Police Department at 770-487-8866, or the anonymous Tip Line at 770-487-6010.

Two houses, a plush farmhouse and 5.5 hectare farm land that is what an RTO clerk earning Rs 16,000 a month has acquired and now stands to lose after an anti-corruption court ordered the Madhya Pradesh government to seize them.
The properties will eventually be used for public good: for a school or an anganwadi centre for instance, as mandated by the Madhya Pradesh Special Courts Act, an ambitious legislation notified in February 2012 and modelled on a similar law in Bihar.
Raman Dhuldhoye, a grade III clerk from Indore, was raided by the Economic Offences Wing on December 18, 2011 and found to possess illegal assets besides the houses and the land, gold and silver jewellery, several cars and two-wheelers worth about Rs seven crore. He had built his farmhouse on the agriculture land at Morod village, not far from Indore.
Dhuldhoye was charged in the court of Special Sessions judge Avanindra Singh, who, after being satisfied that the assets were disproportionate to his known sources of income, ordered the collector to seize them within a month.
The Madhya Pradesh Special Courts Act empowers the government to use force if the accused dont vacate the illegal property. But, on the other hand, it allows the accused to retain possession if they pay the state its market price.
In Dhuldhoyes case, if he is convicted by the trial court the state has set up two courts each in Indore, Bhopal, Gwalior and Jabalpur as mandated by the Act; one decides on confiscation of illegal property, the other conducts the trial his assets will remain confiscated. But if acquitted, they will be returned to him.

WHETHER a laborer or a pensioner, every shopper becomes a Santa Claus in his own right this yuletide.
Surely, at first, he makes his own Christmas list and then ponders on what to give to each of them on it based on his financial ability.
A diamond ring or a fancy earring, an iPhone or an iFeng, Gold Rolex or a stainless Lolex wristwatch, a Pajero jeep or a "Pareho" toy van does not matter. It's the thought that counts, they say.
The true value of a gift is not how much it is worth in department stores but in the fact that someone remembers you and appreciates your friendship and mutual affection.
Leaving a price tag on a wrapped gift, especially when the present is quite expensive, is tantamount to subtle bragging and puts a monetary value on the person for whom it is intended. Intentionally or not, it shows how much the receiver is worth to the giver.
This, perhaps, is what a lady shopper wants to point out when employees in the gift-wrapping section of a store in Quezon City made a boo-boo in their job.
One day last week, the lady asked to gift-wrap four items in that section of the store. When all were wrapped up, the shopper decided to put one of the gifts in a box.
She unwrapped the gift in order to place the item in the box but was shocked to find the price tag was still there. She complained again but what all the employees did was to point an accusing finger at one another.
When the lady arrived home, she checked the other three wrapped gifts and found that all still have price tags.
Those employees could not have yet realized the consequences of their actions: the embarrassment they could have given the lady Christmas shopper. It could have definitely ruined the real essence of gift-giving.
I will no longer mention the name of the store but these words of caution go to all the shops in all the malls and department stores: Owners ought to brief their employees on how to handle the delicate job of wrapping gifts, trivial as it may seem.

FAS: Terra Incognita
All disciplines are encouraged to join this 3D focused critique seminar. Terra Incognita is a Latin term used in cartography to designate areas of land that were as yet unexplored. Unknown territory, the process of exploration, and the system of symbols devised to describe what is discovered are apt metaphors for art making. Focusing on each person's work, we will examine what is gained and what is lost when the unfamiliar becomes familiar and how that knowing is ascribed identity. The vast unknown exists inside our own minds as well as in the physical world. That which is unknown still has the potential to be anything. The edges of the unknown continue to recede as the unrecognizable becomes recognizable and the dragons and monsters have to move just outside our gaze or understanding. We too quickly ascribe familiar definitions and symbols to this Terra Incognita and in the process demystify and reduce the possibilities. We will attempt to explore the unknown without chasing the dragons away. Throughout the semester we will investigate each person's unknown territory using various ways of exploring that terrain, and see what can be brought back from these interior and exterior expeditions. How are materials, symbols, and formulas used to find ones way to and from an ephemeral experience like crumbs that lead home from the forest? We will explore the world at large and develop an arena where your questions, doubts, and experiments can rein. Through readings and field trips we will look to art, science, and the natural world to enrich our ideas of the unknown culminating with a weekend field trip in April to the desert in Nevada to experience the phenomena of cognitive dissonance.

Many lawmakers reject raises
HARRISBURG - The base salary for state lawmakers will automatically increase 2.2 percent to $83,802 effective Dec. 1 and a number of lawmakers representing Lackawanna and Luzerne counties said they won't accept it.
Many have not taken the pay raise since the recession hit.
The hard economic times and high unemployment rates in Northeastern Pennsylvania resulting from the national recession that started in 2008 are cited by several lawmakers as reason for forgoing a salary hike in 2013.
"Our area has the highest unemployment rate in the state," Kevin Haggerty, a Dunmore Democrat elected to the state House, said Tuesday. He plans to return the amount to the state Treasury.
"In the midst of an ailing economy, families in the 117th Legislative District and across Pennsylvania have had their pay reduced or frozen," said Rep. Karen Boback, R-Harveys Lake. "I have always returned the money to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and this year is no exception."
Lawmakers will need to take a proactive step in the weeks ahead if they want to avoid the cost-of-living adjustment pay raise, either by writing a refund check to the state Treasury sometimes on a monthly or quarterly basis or by giving the amount to a charity. The annual automatic hike, pegged to a percentage increase of 2.2 percent in the U.S. Consumer Price Index in the Philadelphia metro region which reflects inflation, is provided under a 1995 state law.
This increases the base salary for the 203 House members and 50 senators from the current $82,026 to $83,802 during 2013.
That amount will translate to $147 in extra pay a month and $1,775 for the year, said Stephen Miskin, spokesman for House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Pittsburgh.
Legislative leaders earn a range of $10,000 to $47,000 in additional salary above the base amount.
Among area lawmakers, Rep. Sid Michaels Kavulich, D-Taylor, and Sen. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, sponsored bills to repeal the COLA, but they saw no action this session.
Kavulich plans to refund the amount to Treasury keeping his salary at the same level when he took office.
Yudichak said he plans to donate the extra amount to public libraries and to United Way organizations in the Wyoming Valley, Greater Hazleton and Carbon County areas.
Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township, said she supports a suspension of legislative pay increases. She plans to contribute the amount to the United Way.
Reps. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, and Mike Carroll, D-Hughestown, plan to make refunds to Treasury. Rep. Gerald Mullery, D-Newport Township, plans to make a refund to Treasury and keep his salary at the same level when he entered office.
Efforts to reach Reps. Tarah Toohil, R-Butler Township, and Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston, were unsuccessful.
Top state officials, including the governor, and state and county judges are also slated to receive the 2.2 percent increase effective Jan. 1. Gov. Tom Corbett plans to keep his salary at the $175,000 level set when he took office in 2011 instead of accepting an $187,000 salary, a spokesman said.
The 2013 salary levels for the judiciary will range from $86,639 for district magistrates; $173,271 for county judges; $188,000 for state Superior and Commonwealth Court judges; $199,606 for Supreme Court justices and $205,415 for the Supreme Court chief justice.

The white Galaxy Note came available for those in the UK beginning on January 23rd, however that availability was limited to one retailer — John Lewis on Oxford Street. And while they were offering a nice incentive for the first people to make a purchase, we understand that not everyone in the UK was going to be able to take that trip into London. That being said, if you are interested in the white Galaxy Note and had not been able to make a purchase — you are now in luck. The handset is now available for purchase with Clove. The details have arrived directly from the folks at Clove who had this to say;
"Just thought I would let you know that we now have the Samsung Galaxy Note White in stock at Clove, priced at £449 (£538.80)."
Otherwise, the white Galaxy Note ships with a white flip cover included. And lastly, for those who may have missed it, the Galaxy Note features include;
- 5.3″ HD Super AMOLED Display
- Smart Pen Stylus (included)
- 1.4GHz Dual-Core Processor
- Android 2.3 with TouchWiz S Pen
- 16GB Internal Storage
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth & Quad-Band 3G
- GLONASS Technology for navigation

Author Sudha Murthy comes up with this lightweight narrative Dollar Sose, which does not cease to teach its readers a thing or two. The outlook of this storybook is inspired from modern life and events. Murthy portrays beautifully through the story in her book, how the affinity for wealth can make individuals oblivious to the affection of their near and dear ones. It also shows immaculately how man becomes addicted to running after a façade of apparent status and prestige. So, in this narrative, a mother-in-law is shown to consider a dollar more worthy than human relationship and does not think twice before segregating her two daughters-in-law. The dollar earner is considered far superior to her rupee earning counterpart. She fails to foresee the tricks of the other daughter in law and a surprising scene unfolds when the truth comes out. The plot maintained in this book and its striking similarity to the present conditions and ways of life make this story a good read.
Born in 1950, Sudha Murthy is an Indian social worker and author. Her other popular stories include How I Taught my Grandmother to Read & Other Stories, Gently Falls: The Bakula, and The Old Man And His God. Murthy completed her B.E. in Electrical Engineering from B.V.B. College of Engineering & Technology, standing first in her class. Thereafter, she completed an M.E. degree in Computer Science from the Indian Institute of Science, again standing first in her class. After graduation, Murthy held the distinct honour of being the first female engineer hired at India's largest auto manufacturer TELCO. Currently, she is the chairperson of the Infosys Foundation, and a member of the public health-care initiative of the Gates Foundation.
