Family-supporting wages for all workers and broadly shared prosperity have long been core goals of America's union movement. In Congress and in statehouses across the county, the labor movement continues to lead the way in enacting minimum wage laws, overtime protections, prevailing wage laws and pay equity for women and people of color. Workers and their unions have also pursued these same goals of economic justice when bargaining collectively with their employers.
Yet in contrast to the three decades after World War II when more workers enjoyed union representation and the middle class grew stronger, working people today are no longer receiving their fair share of their growing economic productivity. Between 2000 and 2007, median family income actually went down—the first time this has happened during an era of economic recovery since before World War II. Wages continued to fall in the recession from 2007 to 2009, and have continued to lag behind productivity now that the recession is officially over.
Something is fundamentally wrong with the economy when workers are no longer sharing in the fruits of their labor. If we want to repair the engine that drives U.S. economic growth and prosperity, we must first restore the link between the growth of wages and the growth of economic productivity. The best way to do this is to achieve full employment, which has long been a key demand of unions everywhere. Other key steps include:

The U.S. Supreme Court has observed: "It can hardly be argued that either student or teacher shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate."
The constitutional principle regarding symbols, music, art, drama or literature, whether in public school or in association with other public entities is simple — mix the secular and the sacred.
A school-sponsored concert on a public school campus which contains only Christian Christmas songs mixed with secular songs of the holiday make the presentation constitutional.
Public schools are not religious-free zones. Students may distribute religious Christmas cards and greet one another saying "Merry Christmas." If the school does not require uniforms, students may wear clothing with religious symbols or religious jewelry.
Courts have long recognized the historical, social and cultural significance of religion in our lives and in the world, generally.
I beg of everyone this Christmas to stand up for your freedom of speech and religion! Have a blessed Christmas.

Liberalization'S Impact On The Indian Seed Industry: Competition, Research, And Impact On Farmers
This article attempts to measure the impact of IndiaÂ's limited liberalization on the seed industry and on farmers. Using a unique data set on the structure, research, and sales of private seed firms at two points in time, 1987 and 1995, we provide evidence that liberalization increased the competitiveness of the seed industry, and increased the amount of research by Indian and foreign seed firms. Then, using government district level data and data collected from these firms, we show that private hybrids increased farmersÂ' yields. This suggests that Indian farmers are the true beneficiaries of liberalization and that policies that encourage more competition and more research will provide future benefits to farmers.

Blown to England! A monarch was discovered on an island in the English Channel on September 7, 2012. Martin Cade of Portland Bird Observatory suspects the butterfly was blown off course and carried across the Atlantic Ocean by Hurricane Isaac.
"We have seen a few monarchs here at Portland over the years —all after storms have swept across the Atlantic— but this is the first one for 5 years or so. I think the most likely bet is that this one originated in North America since there's been a large influx of American wading birds into the UK in the last 10 days. Very near to us, at Weymouth, there's been a Short-billed Dowitcher which is only the second time this species has reached the UK. I guess that the butterfly and birds were displaced from their normal migration routes by Hurricane Isaac."

Portland Bird Observatory is about 5 miles off the southern coast of England.
"'Our' Monarch has been a very popular visitor here," says Mr. Cade.
Notice the broken wing tips, probably damaged by the strong winds and 3,500 mile journey.

Poor Niagara!
Trip Start
Dec 14, 2007
Trip End
Nov 04, 2008
Where I stayed
Red Carpet Motel - $58 with coupon. Good
We arrived and checked into a Red Carpet Motel for $58 using one of the coupons we collect along different tourist information places. It was OK (managed by an Indian family), although there were no red carpets, and strangely the shampoo in the bathroom was from the Ramada Inn and another couple of different hotels!
Apparently Eleanor Roosvelt said when visiting Iguazu Water Falls in Argentina the famous words of "Poor Niagara", and certainly in comparison they are tiny...or at least that is the impression. In any case they are still a glorious show of nature, only spoilt by the thousands of businesses, casinos, hotels, restaurants and pavements built around them.
Eleanor probably did not have to suffer the terrible destruction of one of the natural wonders of the World by the mass tourist industry. If she compared them today what would she say?
Luckily for us, it is low season, and a Monday so there was only one million tourists (a couple million less than normally), and even the parking was free as there is low flow of tourists.
We had a long walk along the Canadian side of the falls and enjoyed every bit, practising every few steps taking shots with our new camera. We skipped the activities offered locally as they would hardly get close to the Iguazu experience, but there was certainly a lot of them (falls from the ship, behind the falls, flying on top of the falls, jumping around the falls..and all the usual stuff!).
We ended the night with a chinese takeaway, mainly because downtown Niagara Falls in the Canadian side seems to be in a deep economic depression. There are houses on sale all over, abandoned businesses and quite a lot of scum walking some of the streets. We guess the waterfalls fail to feed all the people on both sides of the river.

John Russell
John Russell's sports column appears Tuesdays in Steamboat Today. Contact him at 871-4209 or email email@example.com.
Find more columns by John here.
I can't remember the first time I met Bill Nickey, but I know he came into my office to persuade me to give the game of golf a second chance.
I had written a column explaining how the game, which I grew up playing, was wasted on me. I've always been able to smack the heck out of a golf ball, but I've never been able to hit the ball straight.
So I spent a great deal of my youth creeping through the tall grass of the Pinery Country Club, where my parents were members, counting strokes and weeds.
By the end of our conversation, Bill had given me his reasons why golf was the greatest game ever and had almost convinced me that I should give golf another shot.
He ended our talk by inviting me out on the course to play a round with him.
Bill was in town for several years after that, but sadly, I never took him up on his offer. I'm sure we would have had a good time.
Despite the fact I never shared a round of golf with the man, he did teach me a thing or two about the game, and what it means to love a sport.
Bill loved golf more than most Americans love their cars. I know this because he could talk about the game with more passion than most Democrats talk about Obama. The only thing he wanted to pass on more than his passion was the game itself, to the next generation of Steamboat golfers.
For years, Bill was the junior instructor at the Steamboat Golf Club west of town, and he wasn't about to let anything stop him from teaching young golfers who were willing to listen. When the course lost the range a few years back, he adapted his program to fit the course. Thirteen years ago, with the help of men's and women's clubs at the nine-hole course, he started one of this town's most important tournaments.
It wasn't a fundraiser, and it wasn't the biggest or the most impressive tournament in town. But the Cowboy Shootout was one of the few events completely dedicated to young golfers in this valley.
Sure, some of the other courses had junior championships at their courses, but only the Cowboy Shootout had Nickey's passion for the game.
It always has been affordable and has stressed one of the most important things young golfers in our valley can take away from the game - how to have a good time.
Unfortunately, Bill's health took a turn a few years ago, and he moved to a better climate where his family could take care of him. I haven't heard from him in several years.
But I haven't forgotten about the man, in part because of the Cowboy Shootout, which will take place July 30 at the Steamboat Golf Club. Even though I can't remember the first time I met Bill, I always will remember his passion for the game. I hope tournaments such as the Cowboy Shootout will plant that same passion into a new generation of golfers.

Complaint by the European Communities.
On 6 October 1998, the EC requested consultations with India concerning certain measures affecting the automotive sector being applied by India. The EC stated that the measures include the documents entitled Export and Import Policy, 1997-2002, ITC (HS Classification) Export and Import Policy 1997-2002 (Classification), and Public Notice No. 60 (PN/97-02) of 12 December 1997, Export and Import Policy April 1997-March 2002, and any other legislative or administrative provision implemented or consolidated by these policies, as well as MoUs signed by the Indian Government with certain manufacturers of automobiles. The EC contended that:
On 1 May 1999, the United States requested consultations (WT/DS175) with India in respect of certain Indian measures affecting trade and investment in the motor vehicle sector. The United States contended that the measures in question required manufacturing firms in the motor vehicle sector to:
According to the United States, these measures were enforceable under Indian law and rulings, and manufacturing firms in the motor vehicle sector must comply with these requirements in order to obtain Indian import licenses for certain motor vehicle parts and components. The United States considered that these measures violate the obligations of India under Articles III and XI of GATT 1994, and Article 2 of the TRIMS Agreement.
On 15 May 2000, the US requested the establishment of a panel. At its meeting on 19 June 2000, the DSB deferred the establishment of a Panel.
Panel and Appellate Body proceedings
Further to a second request to establish a panel by the US, the DSB established a panel at its meeting on 27 July 2000. The EC, Japan and Korea reserved their third-party rights.
On 12 October 2000, the EC also requested the establishment of a panel. At its meeting on 23 October 2000, the DSB deferred the establishment of a Panel. Further to a second request by the EC, the DSB established a panel at its meeting of 17 November 2000. Since a panel had already been established with a similar mandate in the framework of the case WT/DS175, the DSB decided to join the panel with the already established panel in that case pursuant to Article 9.1 of the DSU. Japan reserved its third-party rights. On 14 November 2000, the US requested the Director-General to determine the composition of the Panel. On 24 November 2000, the Panel was composed.
On 21 December 2001, the Panel circulated its report to the Members. The Panel concluded that:
The Panel recommended that the DSB requests India to bring its measures into conformity with its obligations under the WTO Agreements.
On 31 January 2002, India appealed the above Panel Report. In particular, India sought review of the following Panels conclusion on the grounds that they are in error and based upon erroneous findings on issues of law and related legal instruments:
On 14 March 2002, India withdrew its appeal. Further to Indias withdrawal of its appeal, the Appellate Body issued a short Report outlining the procedural history of the case. At the DSB meeting on 5 April 2002, the US commended Indias decision to withdraw its appeal and shared some of Indias reservations with regard to Section VIII of the Panel Report. The EC considered that the Panels findings were justified. Despite its decision to withdraw its appeal as a result of the introduction of its new auto policy, India indicated that the findings contained in Section VIII were outside of the Panels terms of reference and were both factually and legally incorrect. India requested that the DSB adopt only a part of the Panel Report and consider the adoption of Section VIII only at its next meeting. The EC responded that the Reports should be adopted unconditionally by the parties, thus there was no justification for Indias request. The DSB proceeded with the adoption in full of the Appellate Body and Panel reports.
Implementation of adopted reports
On 2 May 2002, India informed the DSB that it would need a reasonable period of time to implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB and that it was ready to enter into discussions with the EC and the US in this regard.
On 18 July 2002, the parties informed the DSB that they had mutually agreed that the reasonable period of time to implement the recommendations and rulings of the DSB, shall be five months, that is from 5 April 2002 to 5 September 2002.
On 6 November 2002, India informed the DSB that it had fully complied with the recommendations of the DSB in this dispute by issuing Public Notice No. 31 on 19 August 2002 terminating the trade balancing requirement. India also informed that earlier it had removed the indigenization requirement vide Public Notice No. 30 on 4 September 2001.

Now that spring has sprung, it's time to make room for summer and move all that winter gear to storage. Don't know where to start to kick the winter blues out of your home? Here's how to best organize your winter items in your self-storage unit so everything stays neat and tidy until next winter:
Organize Your Clothes
First, organize your cold-weather clothes. Gather up your entire family's supply of heavy coats, hats, scarves, mittens, snow pants and boots. Make sure to weed out any unused or worn out items before packing up your boxes. Then, place clothing into plastic totes or vacuum storage bags. You can group like items together or give each family member their own bin. Either way, be sure to label the boxes clearly for easy access in the fall.
Tackle the Tools
Now that all the winter weather finally is behind us, you won't need that snow blower, shovel, or salt for quite some time. Pack up all your winter tools into large storage boxes or bins for storage. Next, gather all of your winter recreational equipment, such as sleds, ice skates, skis, and snowboards. Make sure to clean all of these supplies thoroughly before packing to ensure that they stay in tip-top condition over the summer.

Say Sayonara to the Holidays
Lastly, you can say goodbye to the winter holidays. Pack up all of your decorations for Christmas, Hanukah, New Year's and Valentine's Day for seasonal storage, including lights, wreaths, décor, figurines and other trimmings. To keep things organized, group each holiday together and label the boxes clearly. When placing these boxes in your storage unit, keep in mind which holiday comes first and place those boxes toward the front. That way, you can easily grab those when the holiday rolls around again.
Make Room for Spring

With all of your winter supplies out of the way, you can make way for spring and summer. Bring out all of your warm weather clothing, sandals, gardening supplies, springtime decorations, and backyard amusements. It's the time of year to get outside and breathe in the fresh air!
Self-storage allows you to store what you don't need during the off-time-of-year so you can usher in the new season clutter free.

Polk Audio Debuts SurroundBar 360 DVD Theater |
Home Theater News Speaker Systems News | |
Written by AVRev.com | |
Thursday, 03 January 2008 | |
Polk Audio is debuting the $1,199.95 SurroundBar®360 DVD Theater: a two-piece surround sound system that includes a single, attractive SurroundBar 360 multichannel loudspeaker (44 1/2" W x 4 7/8" D x 4 1/8" H) and a separate, compact electronics console (16 1/2" W x 11 1/2" D x 3 3/16" H) that contains an integrated DVD/CD player, SDA® signal-processing amplifier, AM/FM radio, and a host of digital, analog, USB, and video inputs.
The SurroundBar 360 speaker is Polk Audio's response to consumer demand for true surround audio and deep bass from a single cabinet. The sleek, gloss black enclosure, which is designed to subtly complement all flat-panel displays, delivers full 360 surround sound thanks to Polk's proprietary SDA® (Stereo Dimension Array) technology that the company first introduced in its flagship 1980s speaker models—loudspeakers that are still actively sought after today for their low distortion and enveloping sound. Taking the SDA concept into the 21st century, the SurroundBar®360 DVD Theater features a new active version of SDA technology that combines signal processing and acoustical geometry to create 360 surround from the SurroundBar®360's eight drivers. Polk's patented Power Port® Bass Venting System ensures that the SurroundBar®360 supplies clean, low distortion bass without the clutter of an external subwoofer. "Consumers who invest in a high-definition flat-screen display understand the difference between average and superior performance, which is why the original SurroundBar compact speakers are such a hit with end-users," commented Al Baron, Product Line Manager, Polk Audio, Inc. "Now, with SurroundBar 360, we can offer these same consumers an equally impressive soup-to-nuts amplifier/processor with all the necessary ingredients for high performance home theater without the endless clutter of boxes and cables." The SurroundBar 360 DVD Theater electronics console features HDMI high-definition video output and uses Faroudja DCDi2 upconversion to turn any S-Video or composite signal into high-definition video – 480p, 720p, and 1080i resolution. The SurroundBar 360 DVD Theater also displays — and enhances — digital still pictures in JPEG and Kodak Picture Disc formats. The USB input makes attaching digital photo sources and MP3 players easy and intuitive. DTS Digital Surround and Dolby Digital DVDs are both accommodated, as are MPG2, MPG, CD, CD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, MP3 at resolutions up to 384kbps VBR (Variable Bit Rate). The speaker enclosure is magnetically shielded, so it can be mounted as close to the display as conditions dictate. Included in the package are four cradles (two low, two high) for stand-mounting the speaker, a single 15-foot console-to-speaker cable, six-foot composite video cables, nine-foot power cord, an on-wall mounting option, dipole FM antenna, loop AM antenna, quick-start guide, owner's manual, and remote control. |

The combined value of paid apps, app-enabled purchases of goods and services and in-app advertising is expected to double to $151 billion in the U.S. by 2017, AppNation said today.
The research shows that the largest segment of the so-called app economy is sales of app-enabled physical goods and services, which made up about $45 billion of the nearly $60 billion total at the start of 2013. By the middle of this year, the $60 billion total reached about $72 billion, which is expected to more than double to $151 billion in 2017.
AppNation said paid app downloads are a sliver of the total, accounting for less than $1 billion in 2013 and rising to just above $1 billion in 2017.
"Despite the massive popularity of apps and a saturated marketplace in the U.S., the overall growth rate in the app economy is still accelerating and will be until at least 2015," said Drew Ianni, CEO of AppNation, a research firm. "With the number of apps used per day by U.S. consumers still expanding, and as time spent on mobile devices shifts more to use apps versus other media, it is clear that there is still a lot of runway ahead of and across all key sectors of the app economy."
AppEconomy also surveyed 2,500 U.S. online consumers, finding that mobile users under 45 are using video apps twice a week. Also, most consumers say that they find new apps through word of mouth.
The AppNation report, co-authored by Ross Rubin, an analyst at Reticle Research, noted that smartphones and tablets drive the app economy today, but connected cars and smart TVs will add to total app usage.

Greetings all, I have read the "HowTo" here and I am interested in trying this for a new production network: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-use-pfsense-to-load-balance-your-web-servers I noticed the author writes "if this is your edge firewall I would recommend a physical machine" Is this so that PFsense will have dedicated CPU resources to handle the load balancing? Are there other considerations? I had been considering putting everything onto VMWare ESXi hosts including a PFSense cluster, based on the 2 tutorials here http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Tutorials 1) Installing pfSense in VMware & 2) "Building a fully redundant Cluster with 2 pfSense-systems between WAN/LAN with CARP & pfsync / pfSense CARP & pfsync failover-simulation" But maybe I'll need to run separate hardware for the PFSense cluster? Will be trying some experiments over the next week or 2 to see if I can figure this out... appreciate any advice, TVMIA
Well I realized security is also a consideration. If the physical box is hooked to the WAN, we'll need to make sure there are no open ports other than to PFSense. But assuming we use NAT to all the other VMs, how much of a concern is this really?
I think the thinking behind this is not to put all your eggs in one basket. Depending on your network load and the power of your cpu it is defiantly doable. Just think if your esxi server dies so does all your network but if this is use in a colocation rack and your trying to save space then for temp solution I don't think that you have a problem. Also most pfsense servers need not to be more than 1ghz. If your not running lots of vpn connections then 500mhz will do.
Thanks mmidgett! Well I was thinking to have 2 identical physical esxi servers, on each would be PFsense and synched copies of all the VMs (or perhaps shared storage?) I will set up VMs from each in a pool so that if primary fails and secondary takes over, half the pool will still be there to serve clients. More of a long term permanent solution if i get it to work as i'm thinking... That's great - I don't plan on much vpn at all, but hope to push 100mbps+ from the setup.
Hey 3zzz The Reasons i Suggested a physical machine if pfsense is going to be edge firewall, (and mmidgett nailed one of the reasons) is purely from Disaster Recovery point a view ( all eggs in one basket situation ) and the other reason is security and expandability, i have seen one situation where a client had a VM firewall on the same host as his production VMs and (his firewall was setup quite poorly) and some one managed to hack and gain access to his VMware ESXi Console, and cause considerable damage to his environment In regards to expandability, if you want to build a DMZ for example i personally like other hardware to control this and not have my esxi touching the dmz at all if you have any more questions or concerns feel free to ask
Thanks neofire!! I think I will have 2 identical machines for redundancy; seems for my purposes it'll be cheaper than shared storage. For security I will limit access to ESXi to the local network only, and use pfsense to block LAN addresses from spoofing over the WAN so I would hope ESXi is not accessible to hackers unless they first gain access to a LAN machine. Well thanks for your advice, I'll let you know how it goes!
Sounds like you got it all sorted, Hope it works out and it would be good to hear how you go i am posting a Fail over HowTo this week ( i have a bit of catch up to do ) and hopefully a few more will go up with different pfsense configurations
well tbh i am struggling to figure out what kind of storage i will need for my vmhosts in production. I figure we'll have about 6-8 VMs running on each. Will I notice performance issues or would we get by just fine with onboard SATA drives? Or will we have to spend more for onboard SAS drives onboard RAID (w SATA or SAS drives) external SAN (3ware raids with SATA drives) or something more? From reading it sounds like you really have to test it and see... I can imagine my boss won't like shelling out all that cash for a vmhost server if we then test it and see that performance is poor and we need to spend another $5K+ for SAN... I'm thinking to go with a couple onboard SAS drives for the heavy access servers and SATA for the lighter ones, and see how it goes... thanks for any suggestions! 3
All it depends on your Virtual Requirements, How many VMs will you run, what applications do you want to virtualize, how many Virtual Hosts you need to run etc can i ask what your intending to build i might be able to recommend some things
thanks neofire! we have an existing system with a web server that is almost constantly overloaded, it's a quad core. it's not very redundant. We also have a couple other servers that don't do much. So I want to put those inside the ESXi host, and turn the web server into 2 or 3 VM web servers load balanced with PFSense. With 12 cores on the VMhost, hopefully this will perform better than the current web server. Then if all goes according to plan, add a second identical VMhost with all identical VMs and set it up with the PFSense failover setup. By doing all this I hope we will a) improve the performance of the site by spreading the load over several VMs b) have a redundant system so there will be no downtime due to hardware failures c) free up valuable rack space by going from 3 towers to 2 1Us d) move our systems towards VM for backups, clones and hardware independence
I know SAN would be best but I'm figuring get 2 SAS drives and dedicate 1 for each virtual web server and that will be an improvement, then just use local SATA for the admin boxes.
SAS Drives would be a good start for now if your restricted with funds, just have plenty of RAM, and you may have to tweak your Resource Pools depending on how things go (with in the hypervisor) and how many network cards does each box have What Operating systems are you using if you are looking at new servers and would like something that is value for money but packs a punch look at these http://www.dell.com/au/business/p/poweredge-t610/pd i have been rolling out medium size businesses with those there good
the guests will be running ubuntu server, the host will be ESXi 5 w 24GB. i was only planning to have 3 NICs in each host, as long as it's not exceeding the total capacity of the card, does it matter much?
No it wont matter, Sometimes depending on the VM host setups i sometimes suggest ( if you can afford to ) depending on the amount of VMs your having is dedicate a Network card per VM or you can just pool them together and let the ESXi host handle the traffic I don't think you will have any issues either way,

Business in China needs a predictable and stable dispute resolution environment in order to succeed.
Most experienced China hands instruct their clients to, at all costs, avoid selecting Chinese arbitral institutions such as the China International Economic & Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) or one of the city-level institutions such as the Beijing Arbitration Commission or Shanghai Arbitration Commission for resolving commercial disputes. This recommendation is based upon a number of key systemic problem areas including, but not limited to, unqualified staff and arbitrators, language difficulties, decisions driven by politics or local protectionism, rules that allow the tribunals to ignore the law/facts and to base decisions on equitable grounds or "fairness" (CIETAC arbitrators can act as amiable compositeurs, which is inconsistent with international standards), and lack of effective tools for interim relief.
If the parties must choose a domestic institution, and this is usually the case if both parties are Chinese entities, we recommend that the dispute resolution clause be drafted in a manner to level the playing field as much as possible.
Although CIETAC has made much progress over the years to improve its services and procedural rules, CIETAC-China in Beijing and its regional sub-commissions are fighting a very ugly public battle that throws into question the institution's ability to survive as a single nation-wide organization, and also its ability to service the needs of the business community.
As background, CIETAC is headquartered in Beijing and maintains sub-commissions in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Chongqing (www.cietac.org). CIETAC was established in 1954, initially named the Foreign Trade Arbitration Commission (FTAC) and in 1980 renamed as the Foreign Economic Trade Arbitration Commission (FETAC). The initial purpose of FTAC/FETAC was to provide a forum to resolve disputes arising from contractual obligations in foreign trade matters and specifically between foreign and Chinese parties. Since the early 1990s, the caseload of CIETAC has increased from 200 to over 1000 applications annually.
CIETAC-China has been losing control over its sub-commissions for years, and specifically over operational and financial issues. For a review of a litany of complaints that CIETAC-Shanghai has with CIETAC-China, see the Statement of China International Economic & Trade Arbitration Commission Shanghai Commission at www.cietac-sh.org. In addition to management and fiscal issues, CIETAC-Shanghai is objecting to new CIETAC rules of arbitration. Immediately after the rules went into effect on May 1, 2012, CIETAC-Shanghai declared its independence and states that it no longer is a branch of CIETAC-China, and adopted its own rules of arbitration. While CIETAC-Shenzhen and CIETAC-Tianjin have not publicly declared their independence, they have refused to post the 2012 rules in a slight to CIETAC-China.
Several issues have prompted the dispute including that the branches want a greater say in the management of the institution and their key differences with the new rules. The failure to implement a uniform set of rules has potential impact on foreign investors in China.
The sub-commissions object to several revisions in the 2012 rules including an amendment that allows the tribunal to grant interim relief. CIETAC-Shanghai cites the 1995 Arbitration Law that requires that interim relief (i.e., property and evidence preservation) be granted by the people's court. (Arbitration Law, arts. 28, 46, 68) In a bid to grant the tribunal's more flexibility, the new CIETAC rule allows for the tribunal to either (1) apply to the court for conservatory measures (CIETAC Rule 21.1), or (2) issue interim relief in the form of a "procedural order or an interlocutory award". (CIETAC Rule 21.2) This approach by CIETAC-China is more in line with international standards and the day-to-day practices of CIETAC tribunals.
The second issue of concern for CIETAC-Shanghai is that the 2012 rules allow for the consolidation of arbitration claims. Under the new Article 17, the tribunal, at the request of the parties and with their consent, may consolidate cases for efficiency purposes. This rule gives the tribunal more flexibility, and in a manner consistent with international standards. Contrary to CIETAC-Shanghai's perspective, there is nothing in the Arbitration Law that would prohibit consolidation of cases, and especially if the parties consent.
The third issue of concern for CIETAC-Shanghai concerns the increase in threshold amount for expedited summary proceedings under Rule 54, which went from RMB 500,000 (US$80,000) to RMB 2 million (US$315,000). Under the new rule, the smaller cases will be handled in the expedited manner involving a sole arbitrator and with a time limit of 3 months (although the parties, by agreement, may request a three-party tribunal and extend the time). This is a positive development that can help the parties manage the cost of dispute resolution.
CIETAC-Shanghai's position on these issue ignores the flexibility that CIETAC-China is attempting to bring to the practice of dispute resolution in China. If CIETAC-Shanghai wants to move in a direction of becoming a world-class institution, as part of a nation-wide organization or independent, it should be encouraging such flexibility.
In response to CIETAC-Shanghai's declaration of independence and adherence to its own set of rules, CIETAC-China issued a Statement and Open Letter to All Arbitrators providing that the errant sub-commissions will be legally responsible for all consequences for non-compliance with CIETAC's 2012 Arbitration Rules. (See http://www.cietac.org/index.cms.)
The dispute remains unresolved and casts a pall over the institution's ability to support the business community, and there is significant risk that a party to any contract with a CIETAC clause may endure the cost and inconvenience of a jurisdictional debate. Until the dispute is resolve, the parties to a contract with a CIETAC clause would be wise to review their contracts and clarify, if necessary, the institution that they prefer to arbitrate their disputes and the rules of arbitration.
For parties in foreign-related contracts that have the option to choose arbitration offshore, they would be wise to select – by way of amendment or in an initial contract – an offshore forum such as the HKIAC, SIAC, or the ICC.

a great deal of these 'vulnerabilities' in OS X are from open source software projects which release the advisories.
i guess you haven't seen any security updates from Ubuntu/Redhat or any other UNIX, before have you?
when you release a UNIX distro with a ton of software using many different packages, frameworks and programmers with varying levels of appetite for security completeness, you are going to run into a myriad of issues.
MS also have their issues, but you can't compare apples with oranges.
both links point to youtube.
Not only that, but it benefits for city folk are heavily debated, while the country folk will reap much of the rewards. I don't have a problem with country folk, but I do have a problem with us subsidizing their life choices by living remote from services offered in heavily populated cities. Hell, I'd love to move out to the countryside, and have all the services offered in a city location.
I lived in Sydney for 35 years before recently moving to London for contract work, and the last 6 years of that I had a 20 MB pipe, without the need for Telstra - the peddlers of an over the top expensive product.
The govt all the long wanted Telstra to stump up for NBN and when the pollies rubbished their proposal, it seemed like the smaller operators had a chance to collectively provide services at an equal rate.
Anyway guys, the NBN may come to your door, but in order to use it you'll have to shell out up to $450 and $750, and up to $3,000 to get a connection. Good luck with that.
These public-private consortiums are ruining our country, hiding our debt and placing the burden on the citizens to stump up extra for services that should spearheaded by govt - if they deem them so important.
Perfection is acheived only on the point of collapse. - C. N. Parkinson

Chase Daughtridge, BSBA 2012, writes about Stephen Shuford's visit to the Family Enterprise class last week.
Stephen Shuford, a 1997 Kenan Flagler alum, knows the unique advantages and challenges of leading a family enterprise. Shuford is a fifth generation leader at Shurtape Technologies, a company born of his family's Shuford Mills enterprise.
When Shuford entered his family business in 1997, he faced the challenge of "getting out of the box." Shurtape Technologies, a designer and producer of tapes, like the popular Duck Tape brand (check out the hilarious Duck Tape YouTube video commercial he shared with the class), grew out of a North Carolina mill company, but today competes with large multi-national companies. Shuford, in striving to lessen both operational and investor risk at Shurtape, learned several lessons about successfully operating and growing a family enterprise.
One of the first things Shuford realized was the importance of leveraging family reputation. By capitalizing on the trust that comes with family leadership, a family enterprise can develop strong relationships with both vendors and partners. Shuford saw this advantage when a company came to Shurtape with a new product, rather than approaching a large multi-national competitor.
The second major lesson Shuford learned was that the company's focus should be on their most promising opportunity. In family enterprises, where emotional ties to certain projects or strategies run deep, leaders must remain objective. Opportunity costs can be substantial and sound business decisions must not be sacrificed for legacy businesses that no longer make sense.
Shuford also shared his belief that family businesses should consider diversifying capital sources. Non-bank capital, though it comes at a cost, can be a foundation for long term growth. Banks can fail so relationships with several banks are necessary. Today, Shurtape has relationships with several banks and with other sources of long-term capital.
Finally, Shuford commented on the relational aspect of a family enterprise. Shuford recommends using consulting services to work through vision and management style differences. He believes in the importance of third party resources and their ability to advise when familial variations are causing strife. Shuford also sees the importance of the family management sharing long term vision. Family leaders must put long term goals on the table and work from there.
Over the last fifteen years, Shuford has succeeded in diversifying Shurtape Technologies in regards to market share, investor risk, and geography. Shuford believes that what you are today does not define what you will be tomorrow. This dynamic approach to family business has transformed Shurtape into the fast-growing business it is today.

Behind the Preplanned Oscar Selfie: Samsung's Ad Strategy
Marketer Spent Nearly $20 Million on Ad Time—and Got Product Placement for Galaxy Phone
Samsung Electronics Co. spent an estimated $20 million on ads to run during breaks in the Academy Awards broadcast on Sunday night. But Samsung may have got more promotional mileage from Oscars host Ellen DeGeneres during the show itself.
Ms. DeGeneres toyed with a white Samsung phone during the broadcast, including when she handed a Galaxy Note 3 to actor Bradley Cooper so he could take a "selfie" photo of himself and...

PJ taste was established by Peter and John in 2006 to showcase the best local food in a simple grab and go café style. The aim was to produce food with real taste derived from the authenticity and seasonality of produce. Their commitment to local and ethical food has been maintained and developed over time.
Here Peter discusses how supermarkets and high street chains put Profit BEFORE People, and how that's harming independent business and much more. This is an excerpt from Peter's blog, the full version can be found here.
As a small independent business retailing food it's easy to be overwhelmed by these tough economic times, as well as the fierce competition from the larger groups.
Indeed having recently experienced the pain of some of our local suppliers and more owner operated restaurants go out of business in Sheffield, it would be easy to concede defeat to the power of the multi-national.
So what can we do? Well, having recently done some work with Andy Hanselman I've had some ideas about how we can show in his words, how we are "Dramatically and Demonstrably Different".
Being clear about this is a good start as being involved in day-to-day production and sales it's easy to lose sight of what the customer sees or wants. However, for the sake of the business and the team, it's now the time to do some work on the business instead of just in the business.
First it is important to understand what we are fighting against. In our case supermarkets and large groups of coffee shops and chains of sandwich shops have developed the power to dominate the market. It's important that we don't simply gripe about this but understand how it has happened. They have got into this position by providing a customer experience that works. Making themselves easy to buy from, concentrating on their core offer and creating a clear and defined vision of what we can expect from them.
I believe the problems start as they reach a high level of market saturation. At this point do we, the customer, really still have a choice or are we now too far from the point of production to understand or influence the quality of ingredients. Importantly I also believe that all the focus becomes on short-term profit which does not factor in possible longer term costs to our health and the environment. The experience can also become rather sterile and does nothing to help families derive joy from eating and drinking.
The insidious effects of the supermarkets march to domination are now being more fully understood and explained. Leading the way have been figures like Joanna Blythman who's 2007 book "Shopped: The Shocking Power of British Supermarkets" outline the corrosive effect of supermarkets on our farming and our food culture. More recently the mantle is being taken up organisations like hiSbe whose work is an encouragement to us to bash on.
So what can we do to encourage new customers to buy from us? I start to explore possible answers to this question of spreading the word about Sheffield Food in my blog.
Peter would love to hear your ideas, so please read the rest of his story here and feel free to leave him your thoughts and feedback.

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — Former President George H.W. Bush says it's a good thing his mother wasn't around for the premiere of an HBO documentary about his life.
Bush says his mom taught him to avoid talking about himself and the film "41" features Bush in his own words. It premiered Tuesday in Kennebunkport, near his summer home.
Bush, who turned 88 on Tuesday, has spent at least part of every summer since childhood in Kennebunkport, except when he served as a naval aviator during World War II.
The Maine coast and the Bush home play prominent roles in the film. The Portland Press Herald says Bush, sporting a turtleneck and a blue blazer, was asked what he was most proud about and responded: "The fact that my kids all still come home."

Lord, DiMercurio Lead Bulldogs At Cross Country's Home Opener
Aug 31, 2013 BISHOP, Ga. --- Seniors Brandon Lord and Nicole DiMercurio each won individually and helped the Bulldogs sweep the Georgia Cross Country Invitational for the fifth consecutive year in Bishop, Ga., on Saturday morning. The UGA men had the first, second, fourth, fifth and ninth finishers on the 8k course to score 21 points and top Georgia Tech, Mercer and Emmanuel College. On the women's side, DiMercurio cruised to her first collegiate victory as the Lady Bulldogs went first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth on the 5k course to score 18 points and leave the competition behind. "I think it was a solid start for both the men and the women," said Bulldog distance coach Patrick Cunniff. "Much like we expected, a couple of our seniors and older runners were able to lead the team. Seeing Brandon Lord and Nicole DiMercurio get the wins in their races was great for them. I thought we showed pretty good depth. I'm a little worried about some of the gaps, but hopefully we'll get some people a little more experienced and a little more training so that they'll be able to handle that. "The challenge for both the men and the women is now to handle bigger races and better competition. As the women move up to 6k and the men to a 10k, the key is going to be finishing strong in the last part of the race." Cunniff added that the goal for Saturday's races was to ease into the first portion of the course and close strongly. "The strategy was to go out very conservatively and really work hard the last two miles for the men and one mile for the women," said Cunniff. "I think we did that pretty well, but I think the one thing we saw is that with the high humidity, some people may have gone out under control but still struggled at the end." The first race on the course that winds around the UGA Equestrian Complex was the men's 8k. Lord trimmed 27 seconds off his time last season and clocked a 25:49.17 for the win. Not only did Lord win the 2012 meet, but he was also third in 2011 and was the second Bulldog to cross the finish line at last year's NCAA Cross Country Championships where UGA finished a program best 19th. "It was a good race today," Lord said. "I'm glad that I had some momentum today. I got a late start training for the season this summer, and I've just trying to get back into shape, so I've been pushing the training a whole lot. It's nice to know that I can still have a good performance while training pretty hard. As a team as well, it's the same situation. Everyone is working hard right now, and those guys really put on a good show today. We had a good group of guys up front for most of the race, which is exactly what we wanted to do. We wanted to go out at a pretty moderate pace for the first three miles and then race the last two to see where everyone was with a little fatigue in them, and I think everyone handled that pretty well. It was a good day overall, and I'm happy with it personally." Six seconds behind Lord was fellow senior Luke Baker, who finished in 25:55.25 to improve his spot one place from 2012. Trailing the pair of Bulldog seniors were another two Georgia upperclassmen. Junior Zack Sims posted the first top-10 performance of his career to take fourth with a mark of 26:03.72. Opening his career in 2010 with a ninth-place finish at this meet, senior Charlie Sparks took fifth for the second season in a row after finishing in 26:08.52. The Bulldogs' final scorer on the day was 2011 All-SEC Freshmen team member Brendan Hoban. Hoban was ninth overall thanks to a time of 26:24.32. The Georgia women, who advanced last year to their first NCAA Championships since 2007, cruised to a convincing win in their season opener. DiMercurio posted the best performance of her career by running past the 73 other competitors in the field and winning by 15 seconds. The Suwanee, Ga., native clocked an 18:28.00 after taking fifth at last year's meet. "It felt really good," said DiMercurio. "It was nice to get out here with the whole team. We have a bunch of freshmen, so it was really nice to get out on the course and see how the rest of the season is going to go moving forward. As for me, I'm just focusing on staying strong and looking for the finish line." The Lady Bulldogs followed DiMercurio's example and had four out of the next five finishers. A 16th-place finisher at the 2012 UGA home meet, junior Erika Ramsey snagged runner-up honors this time around after Ramsey flew across the finish line in 18:43.02. Georgia Tech had the third-place finisher before the UGA women battled for the next three spots. Senior Savannah Kirk also had the top showing of her career after taking fourth (18:57.91). Her previous best finish at the Georgia Cross Country Invitational was 12th in 2010, which was in her first collegiate meet. Seniors Stella Christoforou and Megan Malasarte, who are middle-distance runners, managed to also score the Lady Bulldogs. Christoforou took fifth with a 19:02.96 as Malasarte was sixth with a 19:06.29. This marked Malasarte's first collegiate cross country meet as she has earned All-America honors in the 800-meter run on the track. The Bulldogs return to action at the Furman Cross Country Classic in Greenville, S.C., on Sept. 14. Additional quotes from Georgia winners Brandon Lord and Nicole DiMercurio: Lord: "This race shouldn't be any indication of the rest of the season, as far as our potential. There are a lot of guys working really hard right now to get ready for November, not August. This race shows that we're fit right now, but we still have room to improve and we've already improved from last year." DiMercurio: "I thought we all finished really strong as a team today. We took the first two miles out strong and tried to stay together, but I think we're working really well together now."

Barry Manilow says that even if he'd been the only person watching "Smash," he was determined to hang with it.
The pop-music icon will spend most of his summer prepping the relaunch of "Harmony," a stage show about a wartime singing group that he and longtime creative partner Bruce Sussman first produced in 1997. An extensively revised version opens at Atlanta's Alliance Theatre in September, and Manilow appreciates the show-mounting struggles the characters on NBC's recently ended Broadway drama "Smash" faced.
"It's been a very tough road for this beautiful show," Manilow tells Zap2it of "Harmony," maintaining it was "never, ever" because of the content. "It was always because of investors and producers, all the people you need to deal with when you're trying to raise $15 million to $18 million and get to New York.
"We just had bad luck. We would sign a contract and they'd keep us (on hold) for three years and then another two years, and Bruce and I finally just said, 'OK, we've gotta stop this. It hurts too much.' So we did, and then I thought, 'Once more before I croak, I would just like to see my show up there.' And we decided we would go back to where we were happiest, a regional theater."
An engagement at Los Angeles' Ahmanson Theatre also is planned for "Harmony" early next year, and Tony, Emmy and Grammy winner Manilow understands — all too well — everything that was involved in the fictional musicals "Bombshell" and "Hit List" on "Smash."
"I really did like it," he says of the series. "First of all, I'm a friend of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (the show's principal composers), and to think that they wrote three original songs every week! And they were great songs, and to get them choreographed and performed weekly, that was quite a thing for those two guys to do. I thought they did a great job.
"I had no trouble with the show," adds Manilow, "then I'd read these terrible reviews and think, 'Well, I'm crazy.' I more than liked it, I loved it."
Manilow will share the stage with a "Smash" star — Megan Hilty — when he returns Thursday, July 4, to "A Capitol Fourth," the annual PBS holiday special from Washington, D.C. Oscar-winning composer-conductor John Williams and "American Idol" winners Candice Glover and Scotty McCreery also will be on the bill introduced by host Tom Bergeron.
Manilow is glad he feels ready for his busy weeks ahead, after his recent bout with illness. "I don't know why, but bronchitis loves me," he chuckles ruefully. "I had to cancel the first week when we did the New York run (of his still-touring concert show 'Manilow on Broadway' last winter). I got off the plane and got the flu and bronchitis before I even got to the terminal.
"When a singer gets bronchitis, it's over. You can't sing, so we had to postpone and make that first week the last week, and we stayed an extra weekend … but that run was one of the top three experiences of my whole career. A New York guy coming home to those audiences? It was like going to Passover dinner every night: 'Cousin Barry comes home!'"
