I am studying abroad in the spring and am hoping to get to Panama city from the Dominican Republic the cheapest way possible. I thought this would probably be by boat if I was able to find one that I could either work on, or just hitch a ride. If anyone would know of any kind of charters, or forums, places to check out that would be awesome.
Thanks for any help!

Hybrid video: The next evolution in convergence
Surveillance sitting in an analog world - hybrid solutions take it the next step in integration
Take a look all around you. You are part of a revolution—the convergence revolution.
In every segment and vertical market systems are integrating and converging with each other. Access control works with video and on the network to affect occupancy, energy management and more. Door controls are automated and on the network. Wireless brings it all together in a more robust package than ever. But hang onto your hats, because we've only begun to feel the effects of integration and convergence—and especially—life on the network.
Video is one area in particular that continues to see sweeping changes, especially as the economy gains speed and company's begin to grow. With the current base of analog cameras in the 80th percentile or even more, what better place for integrators to start? Now, thanks to innovation from the supply side, IP is finally attainable and not far off.
Learning curve
But that doesn't mean it's easily obtained. It takes engineering expertise by the systems integrator—and a knowledge of encoders, transmitters, decoders, DVRs, software, PoE and how these components work—to be able to apply these types of solutions.
In the interim, we've reached a phase in the industry where, partly because of the economy and the existing infrastructure, the end-user wants to extend what they have and see if they can make it work—but still migrate to the advantages of IP video. Problem is, in addition to analog cameras, we have DVRs, coaxial cabling and overall an infrastructure nothing like the world of networks. That's where bridge or cross platform devices come in to create hybrid solutions.
So it comes as no surprise that the industry's manufacturers have been hard at work creating products that systems integrators can use to get their devices on the network, offering customers the ability to maintain their current investment but still carry the advantages of operating over the network.
Some in the industry are calling these solutions hybrids, because they use analog cameras and one way or another convert that signal to a digital one. And, there are a lot of different "flavors" of hybrid solutions emerging from the manufacturing side.
Look within the pages of this publication, or on the Web sites of manufacturers who offer cameras, recording, software and even structured cabling. You'll hear the word hybrid often, or bridge products or open communications and the likes. So here's the bottom line: it takes a host of different products talking to each other to add value to security—take it out of the narrow focus on security and bring it into the realm of a networked global service offering that equals convenience, remote connectivity and safety and security—all in one.
Different flavors of hybrid technology
Some manufacturers are using encoders or DVRs which take an analog signal and through software convert it to a signal that can run on the Ethernet. Transmitters/receivers may also come into play, depending on the solution. Software plays a big role in hybrid solutions.
Manufacturers understand about the well-entrenched landscape of installed analog cameras and what it will take to move the industry deeper into the realm of IP surveillance. Rich Anderson, a 25-year veteran of the security industry and chief technology officer for SAMSUNG|GVI Security, Carrollton, Texas, said he believes the installed base of analog cameras could be as high as 90 percent, so it makes sense for companies to help integrators and their customers make the switch.

With cheaper kits you get inferior quality. This kit comes with great parts, albeit it's a simple kit. The wiring is a true 4AWG cable, not a 6AWG wrapped in thicker insulation to seem like a 4. I ran this power cable from the battery of my 2005 Subaru Outback to the rear section with a few feet to spare. Powering two amplifiers through a 2 farad capacitor there's no headlight dimming at all. The connectors in this kit are top quality. Highly recommended. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Choice for Me Written By Brian, Nashville, TN on Thursday, September 25, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was installing a Kicker system on a pontoon boat and I needed a 4 gauge power & ground cable. This worked perfectly. I already had most of the connectors, so everything else in the package was just a bonus, including the fuse/connector that I didn't have. This was the least expensive "kit" I could find. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Does The Job Written By Carlis, Fairfield, PA on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) They pretty much do what they say they do. They come with instructions in the packaging and you can call Crutchfield tech support for extra help. The only bad thing is that they don't come with a RCA cables so I had to by my own. All the cords were long enough for my 2005 Sunfire and my amp in the trunk. I'd recommend this kit if you don't need RCA cables (patch cables). Was this review helpful?

I read this today and it blew my mind. SUCH a potent word from my dear and incredibly talented friend Ben Shive.
"Here's a sidebar about sidemen. The artist's ministry is to the audience; the sideman's ministry is to the artist. The artist carries a heavy burden, and when that gets too heavy the sideman carries the artist. It's Sam Gamgee work."
I've never thought about it like that. Makes me really thankful for all the Sam Gamgee's i've been able to play with over the years.

King Kintish gets Oaks off the mark

Guy Helman
Oakwood ended their losing streak in style, with Anthony Kintish (2) and Guy Helman on the mark in the 3-0 win over Camden.
"It was good to be back to winning ways - it's been a while coming," Oaks joint-manager Ric Blank told JC Sport. "Camden have some good players and in that wind we were delighted with the application and concentration throughout the squad.
"I know a lot of people were expecting us to drop points but after the farce of the Norstar game, conceding so late to Brady and coming away with nothing for our Faithfold efforts, we were determined to prove the doubters wrong.
"Brad Wine absolutely destroyed Camden down our right and Kintish got two tidy goals capping an equally good performance.
"We now have a huge cup game against Brady on Sunday at Rowley. We'll take a big, strong squad and will be up for the cup."

Can I do more than one Semester Abroad?
While the typical student will only participate in one semester abroad, there have been instances where a student has enjoyed it enough to explore the option of a second semester abroad. It should be noted that approval is always granted first to first time applicants. In the event that a student is granted approval for a second semester abroad, they are NOT eligible to receive Bethel financial aid for their second semester away.
Are there any majors that don't allow me to do a Semester Abroad?
Yes. Certain majors have a stringent set of classes that must be completed in a particular order and do not lend themselves to studying abroad. You should check with your advisor who will be able to give you more information regarding whether or not a Semester Abroad is possible with your current major.
What other options are available if I cannot be away from campus for a full semester?
Task Force Trips and May/Summer Travel Programs offer options for students who are unable to fit a full semester abroad experience into their normal schedule.
What is the cost of a semester abroad?
Costs vary based on programs. For Bethel programs (Dominican Republic, Pacific Rim, Russia, China), the cost will be equivalent to Full-time Tuition, Room and Board (20 meal plan), plus an additional semester abroad fee covering Airfare and Travel Insurance. For our partner programs (Best Semester, JUC, FFI), more specific cost information is available upon request.
What is included in the cost of a semester abroad?
Semester Abroad experiences are all inclusive in that you are not required to spend a single penny more once the base costs are covered. However, most students will bring spending money for optional tourist type experiences, souvenirs, food outside of their normal meals, etc.
Can I fundraise for a semester abroad?
Fundraising cannot officially be done through Bethel College. However, should you choose to fundraise on your own, you are more than welcome to do so. In the event that you fundraise on your own, donations given are processed through Bethel College and are NOT tax deductible.
How many credits can I take while on a semester abroad?
Credit load depends on which program you choose to participate in. However, our programs all consist of a minimum of 12 credit hours. The fewer credits you can take, while still keeping on track for your desired graduation date, tends to allow for more opportunity to fully experience the lands and cultures you are visiting.
What are the qualifications for participating in a semester abroad?
Approval for a semester abroad is based on a completed application, minimum 2.75 cumulative GPA, good standing with Student Development (inclusive of residence life, chapel attendance, adherence to lifestyle covenant), and committing to adherence to the Semester Abroad Agreement.
How do I apply for a semester abroad?
Applying for a semester abroad is done entirely online at www.bethelcollege.edu/movebeyond.
How long is the application process?
The application will take between 30-45 minutes and can be saved along the way.
When is the deadline for applying for a semester abroad?
Application deadlines vary year to year. Generally speaking, the deadline for upcoming spring programs will be mid-September and the deadline for upcoming Fall programs will be late April.
How are applicants chosen to go on a semester abroad?
There are several factors that weigh on an applicant's approval for a program. These include their academic standing, their references, and their standing with Student Development.
Will I need a passport?
All programs that take place outside of the United States will require a passport. You can begin the process of applying for a passport at Travel.State.gov.
What types of shots do I need to study abroad?
You will definitely need a current Tetanus shot, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Typhoid. We suggest you refer to the CDC website as well as talking to your doctor about which vaccinations are best for you.
How do classes work when I am on a semester abroad?
The style of class when studying abroad varies based on the program and classes you take. Contrary to popular assumption, you will have textbooks, homework, and papers to be completed. Coursework on a semester abroad is not designed to be less academically challenging, but simply made more conducive to the traveling. Your work will often take place outside of the traditional classroom setting, although some courses do require a classroom style structure. Much of your work will be done in an independent study style fashion in which you are responsible for "setting your own pace," while still completing assignments and meeting set deadlines.
What can I do to prepare in advance for a semester abroad?
The first thing you should do is talk with your advisor. Find out if a semester abroad is even possible and what steps you need to take to make the appropriate preparations in your scheduling. In addition to working out your classes, make arrangements for the financial end. Talk with the financial aid office to get an idea of what implication a semester abroad will have on your school bill. Feel free to email the semester abroad office or stop by during our office hours with questions.

NXP Semiconductor (NXPI) Hits New Lifetime High
- NXPI has an average dollar-volume (as measured by average daily share volume multiplied by share price) of $192.1 million.
- NXPI has traded 2.1 million shares today.
- NXPI is trading at a new lifetime high.

See the FREE profile for NXPI NOW at Trade-Ideas More details on NXPI: NXP Semiconductors N.V. provides mixed signal and standard product solutions for radio frequency (RF), analog, power management, interface, security, and digital processing products worldwide. It provides integrated circuits (ICs) and discrete semiconductors. NXPI has a PE ratio of 1248.3. Currently there are 8 analysts that rate NXP Semiconductor a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and 2 rate it a hold. The average volume for NXP Semiconductor has been 2.2 million shares per day over the past 30 days. NXP Semiconductor has a market cap of $9.4 billion and is part of the technology sector and electronics industry. The stock has a beta of 3.33 and a short float of 0.7% with 0.24 days to cover. Shares are up 42.3% year to date as of the close of trading on Friday. STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12-months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates NXP Semiconductor as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, compelling growth in net income and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the company has favored debt over equity in the management of its balance sheet. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 9.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 6.8%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and greatly outperformed compared to the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry average. The net income increased by 34.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $115.00 million to $155.00 million.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, NXP SEMICONDUCTORS NV has outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 33.33% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 89.10% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Looking ahead, however, we cannot assume that the stock's past performance is going to drive future results. Quite to the contrary, its sharp appreciation over the last year is one of the factors that should prompt investors to seek better opportunities elsewhere.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 3.08 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. Along with the unfavorable debt-to-equity ratio, NXPI maintains a poor quick ratio of 0.95, which illustrates the inability to avoid short-term cash problems.

I was warned by others about your intentions, and how you've been a huge ass hole to many people in the area. I was told by P. Franzen you had been banned from MP.com, so I'm surprised to see you back. Anyways I think it should be obvious why I have no desire to help you.

|I live in alsea, i would also love to get the beta on this area, if it exists. I have found a few good boulder problems in the area, not quite worth sharing as they are out there. Perhaps there could be a trade of info?

|This crag is on private timber land, a gate was open to it for a fairly long period of time for an ongoing harvest, which has since finished. The gate is almost always closed, which means a several mile uphill mt bike ride for access.

|Hey I am wondering if anyone could give me a hint to where this place is at. Not looking to take away from anyones FA, just looking for a close place to climb on actual rock from Corvallis. Like Maybe we can post the road that will lead to the wall, so the adventures soul could try to go find the wall

Hello everyone,
Can someone email me directions to the Alsea Wall? I wrecked my car on Mt Bachelor this past winter so I am limited to bike touring, the Alsea wall is close to Corvallis so I'd love to ride there for some climbing.
Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Hi Alsea Wall seekers.
I believe Alsea Wall to be a fabrication. As many of you know, our FA willirocks has not contributed to this forum since 2010. He will not respond to requests for directions to the location. The climbs looks great, but not if they exist as pictures only.
This spring, I spent a full day driving all the roads around Alsea trying to find the wall. I have talked to locals who grew up in Alsea. I have spent hours on Google Earth and USGS topo maps. All in vain.
I suspect the rocks are real, but I question that they are in the Alsea, Oregon valley. If our FA willirocks hasn't responded to requests or posted any information on the wall in 4 years, I think it safe to say that this elusive wall is busted... If an FA takes more than four years to complete, you have to question the priorities.
That my two cents.
Brian, Corvallis

|This Brian Hartland emailed me this week about the Alsea wall. I was out of town guiding rafting trip and just got back. He posted his theory about the fabrication before I responded to his email. I posted the photos and I posted the access updates. The wall does indeed exist. It is on private land and way behind a locked gate. You need permission to access it. There are all kinds of areas you can't see on google earth due to shadeing. Same is true for this small crag. This place was found through flying in a plane. Hope you don't plan on being a detective. It isn't by Alsea the town at all. It is in the Alsea River basin. It would take you weeks to drive all the forest roads in the Alsea basin. The real funny thing is, even if you could have driven the road to the crag trail, you can't see the crag from the road anyway.

willyrocks = Shapp = conmen.
Sure, the rocks are in Alsea......no, the rocks are in the Alsea Valley.....but, no....the rocks are on private property.......and they can't be seen from the road......you need an airplane to see them. Maybe you need special 3-D glasses and a decoder ring?
This reminds one of Frederick Cook's claim of climbing Mt. McKinley and his Fake Peak photos.
Brian says Alsea Rocks are a fabrication......+1.
An administrator should pull the post for the area.

There are plenty of crags you can't see from the road. Willy happens to be a pilot. Many famous crags/routes have been found by flying around in planes. Many crags are on private land. Posting a map and giving directions to crags that are now closed to the public is 1) not ethical and 2) probably illegal. No one ever said the crag was in the town of Alsea. I have made several comments (not recently) on the evolving access. Maybe you can't read. The posting by 1 guy that drove around for a day and couldn't find the crag in the town of Alsea must be more credible. He made his post before emailing me first. One must wonder how dumb the guy must be or how hard the guy tried to find the crag before emailing the, the guy who actually has posted photos and access updates.
I suggest the moderators delete Ms McBeal and Mr. Hartland as they clearly can't read that the crag is currently not open to the public.

Quote "This is a great trad and sport crag located near Alsea, Oregon. With 30 routes 5.6-5.10d half traf half sport, this is a great place to visit if you live in Corvallis or surrounding areas."
If its not legal to visit, why post that?
I agree it should be taken down until access is opened, or at least the info edited to reflect that.

Whitney's Grammy Moments
Houston's finest Grammy performances
OMG! Give it up...all of you! Billions of people die daily for many reasons and a celebrity dies and people have a whole hoopla about it. Yes RIP Whitney....it certainly is sad and she leaves behind a lovely family but lets not sit here and argue about it.
We are sitting here wasting the time we have left on earth arguing about drugs, and being clean and now god? I hate the fact I'm even contributing to this useless blog that is running below.
I know I just got home from it but do any of you work? Or are you glued to this nonesense all day? LAME
Hi all, its true Whitney is Gone, but i think this is not the time to apportion blame on who killed who and who has served as a bad example for who. The bottom line is that she had a problem that she could not handle well, she made a choice that was bad: we have to learn from her mistakes and educate our self and our children. Please do not judge, or else you will also be judged. Cheers

Fireworks happen only after dark, but this craft creates a pop of color any time of day. Kids pull back on the string to release a shower of tissue paper confetti, then gather it up and refill the launcher again … and again … and again.
Using a craft knife, trim 1 inch off the tube (a parent's job). Cut a 1/2-inch section out of this piece with scissors.
Insert the piece into the tube, about 1 inch from the top, and secure it with electrical tape.
Measure down 1-1/2 inches from the same end of the tube and make a hole with the hammer and nail. Rotate the nail to enlarge the hole. Make a second hole on the opposite side.
Push the rubber band halfway through one of the holes. Insert a toothpick through the outer rubber band loop, then secure it with electrical tape as shown. Tie both strings to the nut. Thread the rubber band through the nut, then push the rubber band through the second hole. Secure it with a toothpick and tape.
Thread the disk onto one string until it's 6 inches from the nut, then knot the string and trim any excess. Pull the other string out the bottom of the tube and knot it. The assembled launcher will look like the diagram. Decorate the tube with electrical tape and star stickers.
To load the launcher, rest the disk on top of the inner cardboard ring and fill this end of the tube with confetti. To launch, have your child hold the launcher firmly, pull the bottom string, then quickly release it. The nut will hit the plastic, sending the confetti sky-high and making a popping sound.

How To Get Rid of This?
A week or so back we posted that we were considering a new column and many, many of you commented on it.
While the response was overwhelmingly postive, we did note that the naysayers had a really good point: it could easily get too negative. In light of this we're altering the name to How to Get Rid of This? and taking submissions that see to find creative solutions to white elephants in their homes. If it becomes a comment hellhole, we'll cut it.
If you are earnestly seeking a solution, send it in. It can be for couples who loathe the other's belongings OR those who simply don't know how to get rid of something they dislike. Send GOOD pictures and a full description along to editor (at) Apartmenttherapy (dot) com and put HOW TO GET RID OF THIS? in the subject line.
22 Comments
I look forward to reading this!! Sounds like an interesting column
How about "what should I do with this?" and the crowd could pitch in with suggestions like sell it, re-cover it, re-purpose it, send it to live with a relative, etc.
Title suggestion: "Can this Tchotchke be saved?"
I think it would be more interesting to have BOTH partner in the household contribute an item of the OTHERS they can't stand.
ATers vote on which one gets chucked.
Sort of Forced Cure by Popular Vote.
"How to get rid of this?" I thought the idea was to post something that one partner hated but would NOT get rid of because of the other partner's attachment to it. Sounds funny and harmless to me. I mean, it's the kind of thing that goes both ways, and these would obviously be items that the couple had discussed/argued over before, not surprise attacks or anything.
"How to get rid of this" sounds like a much less interesting idea. And let's face it, ANY post has the potential for nasty comments.
I like that idea, Patrick. I can think of two things to post right now, and I'm honestly not sure which one the ATers would vote for!
Great idea, Patrick (T.O.O.)because we like voting on stuff here. The competition aspect sounds like fun.
Oh, this reminds me of When Harry Met Sally! Remember the wagon wheel coffee table?
Harry Burns: "Please, Jess, Marie. Do me a favor, for your own good, put your name in your books right now before they get mixed up and you won't know whose is whose. 'Cause someday, believe it or not, you'll go 15 rounds over who's gonna get this coffee table. This stupid, wagon wheel, Roy Rogers, garage sale COFFEE TABLE."
Jess: "I thought you liked it!"
Harry Burns: "I was being nice!"
Hello All!
This idea sounds great! We all have somthing in our homes, that we want to keep,
but not as it is. Like using old stufff & make it new, stuff.........
after reading rob's post, i'd rather have people present should we get rid of something not how do we get rid of something.
I love that scene!!
I also love the part of the scene that comes next, after Sally goes outside to talk to Harry.
Marie says to Jess (can't remember the exact quote) 'No matter what happens, I just want you to know, I will never, ever want that wagon wheel coffee table.'
How about the diner scene?
"I'll have what SHE's having."
I like marm's idea for the column name: Not or Not.
What I like about the wagon wheel coffee table scene is when Sally (Meg Ryan) is asked what she thinks about the coffee table and she just wrinkles her nose. It's perfect.
OKay, you submit and say how you want to phrase it and we'll take it from there........
On "Clean Sweep" when they have the couple do a yard sale, whoever sells the most $ worth of stuff gets to keep the thing their mate hates most of theirs.
P2's idea sounds kind of like that, in a good way. At least it's kind of a "fair fight" instead of one spouse getting us all to "gang up" on the other one.
I'm amazed that Freecycle hasn't been mentioned yet. If you have something -- anything -- that you don't want, but you are loathe to contribute it to the back of a garbage truck, you offer it through the Freecycle website (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/freecyclenewyorkcity/). Chances are that *somebody* will want it. I've found furniture, pillow batting, drinking glasses -- and I've gotten rid of old bookcases, rugs, furniture. There are Freecycle groups all over the US.
Of course, this doesn't address the issue of one person loving a piece of decor that his/her partner hates, but if there's something you know you want to just ditch, but you're not sure the best way to do it, Freecycle can make it easy.
Title suggestion: "To have and to hold"
Ding-ding-ding! I think "to have and to hold" is kind of a great one.
"Love it or shove it" (insert corny grin here)
KEEP IT OR SWEEP IT, LIKE IT OR LUMP IT, NEAT AND DELETE, HERE TODAY GONE TOMORROW, APART- MATE THERAPY, LOSE IT AND REFUSE IT, thanks curtis and rob now i can't stop, ADD AND SUBTRACT, GIVE AND TAKE,...

Justin Bieber made little Avalanna Routh's dreams come true when he hung out with her for an afternoon.
The six-year-old has a rare form of brain cancer, with which she was diagnosed at only eight months old, and one of her wishes was to meet the teen idol.
That wish was granted when an internet campaign was launched by family and friends, reaching out to the Biebs. His manager, Scooter Braun, took notice when he heard about it through a friend.
He called Avalanna's mum and arranged the meeting, which happened just three days after they spoke. The little girl and her family flew out to New York and hung out with Justin for an afternoon in his hotel room, eating lollies and playing games.
Biebs tweeted, "BEST PART OF MY DAY" along with this photo of him giving Avalanna a kiss. He also tagged some of the tweets with #MrsBieber, which has been picked up by plenty of Beliebers worldwide.
Say what you want about him, but the dude has a good heart, reaching out to a sick little girl like this. We approve, Justin.

Labour Laws and Global Trade
Servais, Jean-Michel, International Labour Review
Labour laws and global trade. By Bob HEPPLE. Oxford, Hart, 2005. xxiii + 302 pp. Boxes, tables, bibliography, index. ISBN 1-84113-160-1 (hardback), 1-84113-187-3 (paperback).
More than any other branch of law, labour law - both national and international - has been destabilized by market liberalization. More than in any other branch of law, the underlying trade-off or balance of power is jeopardized by globalization and the consequent heightening of competition between firms and countries.
Yet the concerns which first brought labour law into being can hardly be said to have abated today. One of them was to protect workers' health and income, typically the most vulnerable aspects of the employment relationship. Another was to provide such protection by enforcing common rules so that socially progressive employers would not be put at a disadvantage because of "social dumping" on the part of less sensitive competitors. Yet another was to prevent the marginalization of the poorest population groups by strengthening social cohesion. To address these concerns is in the public interest of States; also, they are largely shared by workers' and employers' organizations. However, they are difficult to square with policies and projects that extend beyond national boundaries.
Meanwhile, new social players have emerged on the global scene. These include multinationals wielding massive financial power, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with global outreach which seek to represent particular interest groups in today's global civil society, and regional associations of States which - like the European Union - pursue the dual objective of eliminating economic frontiers among themselves while strengthening their common position in relation to other countries and regions.
The social aims of such organizations of States are compatible, albeit to a limited degree, with each individual country's concern for the protection of its own workforce. But the aims of multinationals and NGOs inevitably diverge because they are private organizations that represent the material or ethical interests of their members. Admittedly, when a large firm adopts a set of rules governing the organization of work, it often does so in order to extend decent treatment to its employees - though another of its motivations is of course to give them an incentive to increase their productivity. Yet, a firm's main reason for adopting such rules may well be to project an attractive corporate image to consumers across the global marketplace. However legitimate they may be, such concerns fall into an entirely different category. And the growing power of these new players evidently accounts for the weakening of a system of law constructed around considerations of public interest. This has resulted in the emergence of new kinds of rules.
The transnational labour standards that have emerged in the wake of economic globalization are heterogeneous, complex and sometimes contradictory. Even experts can have a difficult time making sense of the ensuing proliferation of provisions, which vary widely as to their source and content and the degree to which they are binding. To have compiled them, classified them, explained them and analysed them is the first merit - and a very considerable one - of this book by Bob Hepple (who is Emeritus Master of Clare College and Professor of Law at the University of Cambridge and Honorary Professor of Law at the University of Cape Town).
From the very outset, Hepple queries the relevance of the standards adopted by the International Labour Organization. His discussion of ILO Conventions and Recommendations is both accurate and sympathetic though he makes no attempt to gloss over the imperfections of the system or the challenge of adapting it to contemporary socio-economic reality. In his view, the main obstacle to the application of the Organization's Conventions by poor countries is the fear that this would put them at a competitive disadvantage in international trade (p. …

"Stand in the moment renewed and vitalized. Claim it like you own it…Go out in the world and shine and light up the world." - Wahoo Shine (Osunlade's Yoruba Soul Mix)
When I was a little girl I adored that Sunday school song This Little Light of Mine. It made me feel empowered and special like I was obligated by God to let my goodness and talents spill into the world. It made me feel like God was demanding that we all fill the world with our unique gifts. I guess Shine is my 30-something version of that Sunday school song.
Enjoy and get your SHINE on.

RT @EnvAgencyMids: NEW flood warning for River Severn at Callow End and Court Meadow, Kempsey #Worcestershire Details: http://t.co/5Mo6x2HC— @philrandal 27 January 2013
The Environment Agency has just issued a flood warning for the River Severn at Callow End and Court Meadow, in Kempsey.
It also says that the flood defences and pumping station at Kempsey are functioning properly.
Worcestershire is bracing itself for more flooding.
River levels across the county have risen rapidly throughout the day, leading to floodgates being closed in Upton and sand bags being handed out in Evesham, Droitwich and Pershore to help residents defend their homes.
Temporary flood barriers will be going up in Bewdley tomorrow morning.
In Worcester South Quay is already underwater while the river Teme at Powick is starting to spill over into the surrounding fields.
The Environment Agency has issued a flood alert on the River Severn in Worcestershire and area manager David Throup said that, on current predictions, the Severn should peak in Worcester on Tuesday afternoon, at about half a metre below its highest level at the Christmas floods.
The Teme and Avon are predicted to peak tonight but with melting snow already placing rivers under strain, any more rain could make a dramatic difference.
"Those predictions are solely based on the water that's already in the system, from the snowmelt and the overnight rainfall," said Mr Throup. "If we get more rain, as the Met Office is forecasting for Tuesday and later in the week, that could change the picture.
"Even if it does not rain heavily in Worcestershire, rain on the Welsh mountains will come down the Severn and the Teme and cause us a few problems."
The Met Office is forecasting that tomorrow will start off chilly and bright, but will cloud over during the morning, with strong winds bringing outbreaks of heavy rain throughout the afternoon.
Tuesday is set to be wet and very windy, while Wednesday will continue windy, but brighter with a few showers.

WORK to clear debris from under Worcester Bridge has been completed without the need to bring in a big crane.
Staff from the Environment Agency have been out on the Severn in boats to clear away the debris which accumulated during the flooding in December.
Originally it was thought a large crane would be needed to finish the job, but this morning, Dave Throup of the agency said that the task had been completed by his crews yesterday.

Tonight will remain largely dry and clear, though still with the chance of an isolated shower in the west.
A patchy frost is likely by dawn. Minimum temperature 0 C.
Monday will start chilly and bright, but clouding over during the morning, with strong winds bringing outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, throughout the afternoon. Maximum temperature 9C.
FOLLOWING heavy rain and snowmelt overnight, the Environment Agency has issued flood warnings for the rivers Severn, Teme and Avon.
On the Severn, at 7 am today, the level at the Worcester gauge was 2.64 metres and rising. A peak of between 4.5 and 5 metres is expected to occur tomorrow afternoon.
The level at the Diglis Gauge was 2.23 metres and rising. A peak of between 4 and 4.5 metres is expected to occur tomorrow afternoon.
And at Saxons Load, near Upton, the level was 3.04 metres and rising. A peak of between 4.5 and 5 metres is expected to occur tomorrow afternoon.
On the Teme at 9.30am today, the level at Stanford Bridge was 4.01 metres and rising; the level at Tenbury was 3.2 metres and rising. A peak of between 3.5 and 3.8 metres is expected to occur this afternoon.
On the Avon at 7am today, the level at Evesham was 2.5 metres and rising. A peak of between 2.5 and 2.8 metres is expected to occur tomorrow afternoon.
