Using Information Technology in Arbitration
by Thomas D. Halket, posted on GP Solo
Arbitration has many advantages over litigation for the resolution of disputes. Although speed of resolution and low cost have often been claimed as among these advantages, there is now some dispute as to whether arbitration is indeed quicker and cheaper than litigation in court. But even if arbitration is not always quicker and cheaper (this author believes it is), there are a number of procedures or mechanisms that can be employed to increase the efficiency of arbitration, to speed its resolution, and to reduce its cost.

HTC Evo 4g. Rooted, running synergy happily. My batteries have been steadily dying faster....anyway....
I noticed this morning that it was stuck in a boot loop of sorts. It would reboot (white screen), then the synergy rom loading screen, then would come up to my home screen, all icons intact. For about 8 seconds. Then, the process would repeat.
OK, I thought. I will simply reboot into recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and re-flash the rom. Yeah. OK. Good plan.
Did all that. Synergy seemed to install fine. Except I'm stuck with the same problem. (after scrubbing all my data)
I'm not sure how to proceed to try and save the phone at this point.
I did also drop a copy of the Vaelpak rom on the SD card.....
Try flashing that? Other suggestions?

NSA surveillance revelations: Barack Obama announces reforms to bulk data collection and spying on heads of states
Long-awaited speech unveiled some restrictions to America's surveillance policy, but Obama remained largely unapologetic
Rupert Cornwell
Known for his commentary on international relations and US politics, Rupert Cornwell also contributes obituaries and occasionally even a column for the sports pages. With The Independent since its launch in 1986, he was the paper's first Moscow correspondent - covering the collapse of the Soviet Union – during which time he won two British Press Awards. Previously a foreign correspondent for the Financial Times and Reuters, he has also been a diplomatic correspondent, leader writer and columnist, and has served as Washington bureau editor. In 1983 he published God's Banker, about Roberto Calvi, the Italian banker found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge.
Friday 17 January 2014
Seven months after the first bombshell revelations of whistleblower Edward Snowden, President Barack Obama announced new curbs on electronic surveillance by the US intelligence agencies, including an end to the mass storage of phone data, and to eavesdropping on friendly foreign leaders.
In a long-awaited 45-minute speech, Mr Obama sought to strike an elusive balance between the right of privacy and the need to protect the country. He repeatedly defended the work of the National Security Agency and the FBI, stressing that the US could not prevent terrorist or cyber attacks without the ability to penetrate digital communications.
There had been no evidence of abuse and, he said, "we cannot unilaterally disarm" in a dangerous world where some of the countries that professed the loudest outrage at Mr Snowden's disclosures were doing the very same thing themselves. Nor would the US apologise for the fact it might be better than others at electronic espionage.
But the President admitted that "in the rush to respond" after the September 2001 attacks, the risk of government over-reach "became more pronounced" as new authorities were set up without public debate, and technological advance outstripped the ability to police it. This created "an inevitable bias" to collect more information about the world, not less – and, Obama declared, changes were now needed.
Among the most important of them, he urged Congress to set up a panel of privacy advocates for the top-secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) Court that handles intelligence cases, and announced that spying against friendly foreign leaders – as most controversially the case with German Chancellor Angela Merkel – would stop. But he warned that if national security warranted, the US reserved the right to listen in to anyone, anywhere.
The biggest change however will be in the handling of bulk telephone "metadata" stored by the NSA, the programme that has most outraged civil liberties groups in the US. Henceforth this information will no longer be held directly by the government. But where it will be kept is unclear, given that the phone companies themselves are not keen to keep it. And in any case, experts pointed out, one way or another this data will continue to be collected.
Initial reaction to the speech was mixed. Mr Obama said his reforms should give Americans greater confidence their privacy was not being abused. But Rand Paul, the Republican senator who has been among the NSA's fiercest critics, said that Mr Obama deserved "an A for effort, but only a C for content."
One thing however was clear – that Mr Snowden, currently a fugitive in Russia, can expect no early clemency. In his sole mention of the former intelligence contractor, Mr Obama noted drily that he would not "dwell on Mr Snowden's actions or motivations," but warned that if intelligence officials could take it into their own hands to make public what they knew, "we will not be able to keep our people safe."

Fairy Gardens
I've been super busy planting and maintaining container fairy gardens for a show I just did last weekend. Now that it's over, thought I'd share a few photos of some of the more interesting ones. There's a photo link at the bottom of this post with tons more pictures. I had so much fun doing this! (both collecting things to plant in all year round and planting them, but most of all selling them!) Arlene
Here is a link that might be useful: Lots more photos
Okay, so you have to give me some instructions here cause I love these!! Do you use a certain kind of planting medium? And do you put lots of drainage holes or just a few? These are just the cutest things.....LOVE all of your collectibles in them!
Marlene - I just poke a few holes in the bottom with my hammer and nail and fill with Miracle Gro potting soil that has been mixed with heavier generic potting soil - don't want it too rich or your pans will be overflowing in no time. I usually mix 3 - 40lb. bags of heavy potting soil with 1 bag (the large bag - 2 cu. ft. I believe) of Miracle Gro soil, OR of course, 1 bag of the heavy cheap stuff with 1/3 bag of the good stuff. Then I just use perennial groundcover plants (sedums, thymes, Irish & Scotch moss, etc.) because they are so hardy and come back every year. I have much of this already growing in my rock garden, so I just go get a little start and stick it in the pan. I collect the little goodies at garage sales and thrift stores and craft stores all year round. Some of my fairies I have to order online. I found a man at the show this weekend willing to wholesale little clay signs that say "welcome" for $1 each. He's making me 50 for next year! Also possibly some mushrooms. I'm excited about that! They are so much fun - you should try it!
Oh, looks like you worked hard & got alot ready ...then sold! Great! Always love seeing your fairy gardens...the containers you use...& those clay signs sound wonderful for next yr. How about using some old garage sale or thrift shop jewelry as 'rock' gardens in your fairy gardens??? Dominoes??? What fun! You have been very busy! TFS! Jeanne S.
I so enjoyed at your pics on flicker. I kept making amental list of things I wanted to comment on, but it got too long to remember! The mushrooms, the mini totems (will I ever pass up a dolls tea set again?), the creativity of the containers, the boots, all at very reasonable prices. They are beautiful!
The bottle bugs from Christmas lites - such a creative and cute reuse!

ORLANDO, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 01/29/13 -- Mitsubishi Electric's new LaserVue® family of lamp-free, environmentally-conscious portable projectors create brilliant images with accurate colors using a technologically advanced light engine unlike any other hybrid projector on the market today. Eco-conscious teachers and presenters will see Mitsubishi's first new hybrid projector at FETC (Florida Education Technology Conference) at the Orlando Convention Center this week in Booth #1113.
As a leading supplier of the world's laser light engines for display devices, Mitsubishi draws on its expertise to design and build this new line of lamp-free projectors. To produce the red-green-blue lighting elements required to form all display colors, Mitsubishi LaserVue projectors use one pure red LED and up to 34 pure blue laser diodes of varying strengths and wavelengths, and a solid-colored phosphor wheel that emits green light.
Unlike other light engine designs in the market today, some of the blue laser diodes are diverted to excite phosphors on this single-segment wheel. This creates a clean, clear green, eliminating color breaking or rainbow effects that are sometimes observed in similar projectors. Those that use dual or multi-segment color phosphor wheels often attempt to boost brightness at the expense of color accuracy. Mitsubishi's new design creates bright, truer blues and purer greens -- rich and accurate colors -- using a single-segment wheel.
Mitsubishi's new line of LaserVue projectors consists of three portable models: the NW31U-EST WXGA (1280 x 800 resolution) extreme short throw model will be the first to become available in April, followed shortly by two standard throw models: the NW30U WXGA (1280 x 800 resolution) and the NF32U full high-definition, 1080p resolution projector. They burst with 2500 lumens, 3000 lumens and 3000 lumens respectively. Each of these new LaserVue projectors have a light source estimated to last up to 20,000 hours of performance in standard mode, so teachers and presenters can expect many hours of use with no worries about changing lamps.
With this lamp-free design, schools districts, universities and even businesses can expect to save time and money over the life of the projector. And in a continued nod to cost savings, a high-power 10-watt speaker with variable audio output, and a built-in audio pass through means that even when the projector is in stand-by mode, the speaker can still be used. This eliminates the cost and necessity of external amplifiers and speakers.
These Mitsubishi LaserVue projectors also give presenters access to their content in new and different ways -- from mobile devices, the cloud, the internet, a networked server and a traditional computer source. With its built-in "thin client" technology, the Mitsubishi LaserVue projectors don't even need a computer. When connected to a networked server, they become dynamic display devices where users can simply log onto their network directly from the projector, gain access to content from the server and begin displaying it in seconds. Users can opt to skip the traditional steps of physically connecting their computer to the projector or manage any necessary projection function keys.
"Our LaserVue projectors lead the trend in using new technologies," said Wayne Kozuki, product manager, Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions America, Inc. "With a lamp-free design and direct access to the cloud, we hope to change the way people present in the classroom and the boardroom."
By using free SidePad and WiFi-Doc applications, these LaserVue projectors also support BYOD (Bring Your Own Display) initiatives with flexibility: teachers and presenters can use a mobile device such as a tablet or a smart phone to access, mirror and control a computer that is connected to the projector and the same Wi-Fi network, and present Powerpoint®, Excel®, Word®, TXT, PPD and JPG files from their iOS or Android devices directly through the projector. For the first time, presenters are untethered from their computers and can control and present from any location within the classroom or meeting space. Both the SidePad and Wifi-Doc apps are free downloads via the Apple® App store or Google Play.
Long committed to social responsibility and conserving natural resources, Mitsubishi Electric has improved the design and production of its new projectors with the environment in mind, and can help buildings gain LEED certification:
- Mitsubishi uses lead-free solder on all printed circuit boards.
- New models are designed with high-efficiency standby modes that are designed to use less than one watt of power.
- Full-volume user manuals have been eliminated from production and information has been converted into CD or web downloadable format for easy storage and less material consumption.
- Mitsubishi Electric projector cabinets are not painted, and no conductive coating is used.
"There's a new world in the classroom and boardroom, and Mitsubishi is here to display it, brilliantly, accurately, and cost-effectively," said James Chan, vice president of marketing, Mitsubishi Electric Visual Display Solutions.
The NW31U-EST and NW30U are targeted for availability in April and the NF32U is targeted for availability in June, with pricing released at that time. Each LaserVue projector comes with a three year warranty on parts and labor, and five years or 10,000 hours on the light source, whichever comes first. A projector and associated light source is covered for three years by Mitsubishi's Express Replacement Assistance (ERA) Program, a comprehensive nationwide service that offers next business-day replacement* for units that are under warranty. Terms and conditions apply.

In his session at DevOps Summit at 16th Cloud Expo, Shannon Williams, co-founder of Rancher Labs, will walk through these and other benefits of using Docker to run microservices, and provide an overview of RancherOS, a minimalist distribution of Linux designed expressly to run Docker. He will also discuss Rancher, an orchestration and service discovery platf...

Case studies are a tangible means of demonstrating design's value to clients. Some firms develop case
studies as a matter of course—others might collect the information but have
not developed a structured or substantive way of presenting it.
AIGA's "Making the Case" competition awarded
honors to design case studies that demonstrate the value of design in a clear,
compelling and accessible way. A discerning and qualified jury identified
submissions that serve as an effective tool to explain design thinking to
clients, students, peers and the public in general.
In 2011, an esteemed jury met to review dozens of entries for "Making the Case." From nearly sixty submissions, nine case studies were awarded honors for the inaugural collection. They serve as tools to explain the value of design to non-designers, including brief explanations of challenges, approach and actual metrics of effectiveness.
See the selections: aiga.org/Making-the-Case-Selections/Read the news release: AIGA's new case study competition helps demonstrate the value of design
represents the next generation of AIGA's competitions and seeks stories
that reveal the value design created for the client.
View all case studies selected for AIGA's annual "Making the Case" competition, which awards
honors to design case studies that demonstrate the value of design in a clear,

Yuletide Sun Camellia in a 2 ft wide foundation bed?
Greetings all! This is my first time posting in this forum, and I'd appreciate any and all advice and recommendations!
We just moved into a new house (our first house as a matter of fact) and I'm very much a gardening newbie. We had some sort of hedge/vine thing planted in a 2 ft. wide by 4 ft long bed running along the foundation of the front of our house, which we removed when we moved in, and now it's just a bare piece of dirt just waiting for something to be planted into it!
I visited a local nursery, and received two recommendations -- a yuletide sun camellia or an azalea. I really like the idea of the sun camellia, especially since it will put out bright red blooms over the winter, and have lush green leaves in the summer.
But I've found varying info on the size of the camellia, and am wondering if it would grow too big in the space we have for it? The foundation bed gives way to the sidewalk leading from the driveway to our front door, so I need something that won't block that pathway too much.
The space is shaded in the morning, and then receives dappled sunlight in the afternoon. And we live in Southern California, in zone 9b I believe.
If anyone thinks a sun camellia is the wrong plant, I'd love any other suggestions....
From what I've read, it can do well in filtered light. If your concerned about size, you can espalier it. you can find directions if you search "espalier camellias." It involves tying branches against a frame work and pruning branches that stick out perpendicular to the wall.

Law requires states to collect, store and share personal information from drivers
The Homeland Security Department has pushed back the final deadline for states to comply with the the controversial Real ID Act national identity management standards to Jan. 15, 2013.
DHS published a notice of the new deadline in the Federal Register on March 7. Under the previous rule, the final deadline was this May 11.
Congress passed the Real ID law in 2005 as an anti-terrorism measure, but it has gotten significant opposition. Compliance by states has been delayed several times.

DHS setting new deadlines for Real ID
New bill seeks to replace Real ID with Pass ID
Under the law, states must comply with certain standards for drivers' licenses, including standards for collecting and storing personal information from drivers, and sharing that information electronically with other states. More than 20 states have passed legislation or nonbinding resolutions to oppose or reject Real ID.
In January 2008, DHS promulgated a final rule for implementing the law and extended the compliance data from May 2008 to this May.
In 2009, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano supported national legislation that would have loosened some of the requirements of Real ID.

Complete Basement Finishing
My wife and I are currently building a new house, and are having trouble determining a layout of the basement. It is somehwat awkwardly shape, and we really just are struggling to figure out what we want to do.
Based on the picture, we definitely want to two bedrooms on the end of the house that have the two large windows on the exposure. And we plan to wall off the area around the furnace and hot water heater and make it a storage area.
Otherwise we would also like to have:
1. Family/home theater room
2. Weightlifting/workout area
3. Bar area
the picture provided isn't great hopefully I can find an better file.
If you haven't started yet, I'd suggest a couple of changes off the bat: 1) more windows-unless they're in window wells in which case, don't bother; 2) eliminate the posts. (At least, the one to the left of the staircase.) Completely unnecessary with steel beams. If it's too late for those changes, plan to incorporate the posts inside dividing walls or in closets.
If you're only planning one w.c., put it between the bedrooms. That way it provides sound buffering for the bedrooms and is also accessible to the rest of the basement.
As the bedroom space is firm, I'd run a hall down the middle with one room to the right for weights and one to the left as the family room. I'd put the bar area to the "north" of the stairs. Those are your three living areas. Depending on your lifestyle you may choose to allocate the uses differently.
I finish the basement in just about every home I build. But I never draw fixed plans until the space is complete--except for the w.c.s or kitchens for which you have to run drains under the concrete and stacks.

Brand New Community Garden and Urban Farm
Hey there!
We are in the middle of starting a community garden and urban farm. I've been browsing this community and love all the great information here.
Do you have any recommendations for what to wall the raised beds with? We are unable to dig into the ground due to underlying stone, so everything will have to be above ground. Cost is, of course, an issue.
Also, what are you all filling your beds with? Premixed potting soil? "Mel's Mix"? Hugelkultur?
Thank you!!!
Landscape timbers work well for a low cost bed wall. A mixture of soil with liberal additions of compost would be a good start for filling the beds. These would be good questions for all the founders of the community garden to address together: it would help mold the community.

This is the boat's 59th global voyage.
KOCHI: 'Peace Boat' will call at Kochi on October 10.
This is the boat's 59th global voyage. During this trip, the vessel will travel 109 days around the world. The vessel left Yokohama, Japan, on September 23. She will return to Japan on January 10 next year.
Peace Boat will be passing through the Suez Canal and Panama Canal, and visit places such as Vietnam, Jordan, Cuba and Peru among 21 ports, according to those associated with the ship.
During the visit to Kochi, the vessel will be berthed at Q6 berth.
The civic administrators led by Kochi Mayor Mercy Williams will pay a visit to the ship.
Peace Boat is a Japan-based non-governmental and non-profit organisation committed to promote peace, human rights, equal and sustainable development and respect for the environment, according to the website of the vessel.
"Peace Boat aims at creating awareness and action based on effecting positive social and political change in the world. We pursue this through the organisation of global educational programmes, responsible travel, cooperative projects and advocacy activities. These activities are carried out on a partnership basis with other civil society organisations and communities," in Japan, North-East Asia, and around the world," says the website.
"Those at the ship have expressed their willingness to network with city mayors as part of the peace initiative. They have invited the women councillors of Kochi Corporation to visit the vessel," said Ms. Williams.
The vessel will leave Kochi on October 10 evening.

HoopsHype Kevin Johnson rumors
Kentucky coach John Calipari and four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Dikembe Mutombo are among the finalists for the Basketball Hall of Fame's 2015 class. The Hall of Fame announced its 2015 nominees Saturday. The Class of 2015 will be announced April 6. Calipari and Mutombo are joined by longtime NBA referee Dick Bavetta, five-time NBA All-Star Tim Hardaway, three-time All-Star Kevin Johnson, three-time WNBA MVP Lisa Leslie, Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan, seven-time All-Star Jo Jo White, four-time All-Star Spencer Haywood, former NBA coach Bill Fitch and high school coaches Robert Hughes and Leta Andrews as finalists. ESPN.com
Advisory search committee chairman Kevin Johnson lost a power struggle with the National Basketball Players Association executive committee and will be absent on Monday when a new executive director is elected in Las Vegas, league sources told Yahoo Sports. The three candidates are Dallas Mavericks CEO Terdema Ussery, Washington D.C. attorney Michele Johnson and Dean Garfield, president and CEO of the Information Technology Industry Council, sources told Yahoo Sports. Johnson, the mayor of Sacramento and a former Phoenix Suns guard, had wanted to play a larger controlling role in the Monday meetings to present three finalists for the job, and executive committee members balked at the idea, citing U.S. Department of Labor regulations and NBPA bylaws, sources said. Yahoo! Sports
Adrian Wojnarowski: In email, Kevin Johnson has informed agents he's no longer part of the search process for a new NBPA executive director, Yahoo has learned. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Adrian Wojnarowski: Johnson had been tasked with heading search committee for a new NBPA executive director, but terse email reveals committee is out of process Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Adrian Wojnarowski: Sources had told Yahoo Sports in past 48 hours that are four finalists in process for new the NBPA executive director. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Adrian Wojnarowski: Wrote Kevin Johnson in email to agents: "While we'd hoped to help bring this to completion, it's clear that won't be possible." Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Adrian Wojnarowski: NBPA exec. committee wants to lead process toward hiring, leaving Johnson's group feeling cast aside, sources say. And so it goes in NBPA. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Sam Amick: Kevin Johnson via player memo: NBPA interviewed 6 candidates for exec.director May 16, with 6 more scheduled late June; six more mid-July Twitter @sam_amick
Sacramento's city council on Tuesday approved a financing plan for the NBA's Kings franchise, clearing the way for construction on a $477 million downtown arena. The council voted 7-2 on the package during a meeting that capped the city's lengthy struggle to keep the team from moving to Seattle a year ago. Mayor Kevin Johnson declared, "Long live the Kings," after the final vote, and the chamber, along with team owners, erupted in cheers. "We had our backs against the wall, but we defied the odds. We made a comeback for the ages, and in doing so, I feel like we unleashed the very best that Sacramento has to offer," said Johnson, a former three-time NBA All-Star who maintains strong connections to the league. ESPN.com
Johnson, enlisted a month ago to help the players union's search, has formed a committee of outside advisers and has aggressively presented his plan and schedule to everyone involved. Every player agent was invited to attend the meeting, held at the same hotel that served as the headquarters for the pre-draft camp, and approximately 20 did so. "It was very different than anything I've ever seen," said one agent. "I'm 100 percent confident KJ is going to help find someone on par with himself to lead the players association going forward." Bleacher Report
NBA players union advocate and Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson said in an e-mail to players he is done helping the National Basketball Players Association with the Donald Sterling situation and will focus on helping find a new executive director. "What a strong end to an historic week in the NBA!" Johnson wrote in the e-mail obtained by USA TODAY Sports. "We all know that the Sterling incident, in addition to grabbing headlines, was a defining moment for our league, our sport and our nation. I'm thrilled that the decision made by the Commissioner was swift and unequivocal, but moreover, I'm pleased that the players had a seat at the table as the process was unfolding. "The Commissioner listened to owners, players and the public alike to come to this important decision. As a union, we should feel good about the fact that we spoke with a strong, collective voice. I believe that this gives the organization great momentum and really positions us well for the future. I'm so proud of the strength, dignity and courage that the players showed during this ordeal. It was truly a model of how a high-functioning organization can operate." USA Today Sports
Jon Santiago: Mayor KJ: "The players believe the commissioner has done his duty." http://t.co/iuZNd1jJSW Twitter @itsjonsantiago
Tony Mejia: Kevin Johnson: "On this day, Adam Silver is not only the owner's commissioner. He is also the players commissioner." Twitter @TonyMejiaNBA
Baxter Holmes: Kevin Johnson: "I hope every bigot in this country sees what happens to Mr. Sterling and recognizes that if he can fall, so can you." Twitter @BaxterHolmes
Arash Markazi: NBPA press conference includes Kareem, AC Green, Steve Nash, Luke Walton, Tyson Chandler, Norm Nixon, Kevin Johnson and Roger Mason. Twitter @ArashMarkazi
Kevin Johnson: At a minimum, Mr. Sterling should be suspended indefinitely, banned from games, slapped with the maximum fine possible, and forced to extract himself from basketball operations. He should be required to name someone from his executive team or family to take over all duties related to the Clippers. If the NBA takes this type of strong stand on this issue -- and I have every confidence it will -- it will prove to be a defining moment not just for the sport but for the entire nation. It will signal that the league is listening to its players and alum and treating them as valuable partners. Facebook
Sam Amick: I'm told Kevin Johnson, on behalf of @TheNBPA, will hold presser at noon at LA City Hall tomorrow reacting to Adam Silver press conference. Twitter @sam_amick

Should I prepare my soil with manure after growing tomatoes ?
I have a small patch in a community garden. I prepared the soil with cow manure before I started growing vegetables. I had a good harvest of plum tomatoes. I was wondering if I should add manure to the soil again for fall crops,given that I had a good yield. Also is it a good idea to grow lettuce, spinach or broccoli in the tomatoes spot?
I had another question. The last two batches of tomatoes that i got from my plants have some problem. The tomatoes start developing flat dents as they ripen? And it slowly turns black on those spots. Is this some kind of a disease.? When i cut the affected part tomato it looks ok.
This is my very first time gardening. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!!
As long as the manure is composted go ahead and use it. I wouldn't want fresh manure anywhere near what I plan on eating. And depending on where you are, the first frost could be coming in just a couple months. So there's not much time left to get a fall garden planted (and it might be too late for broccoli but again it depends on where you are).
Sounds like your tomatoes have blossom end rot (BER). I suggest you do a search about it over on the Tomato Forum.
Agree that we need to know where you live as that tells us what your climate is like. That tells you how far ahead of planting you would add the manure.
Also agree that you should never use fresh manure anywhere in a food garden. Use well-aged, composted manures only. This is especially important when growing low level crops like lettuce and other things where the edible parts will come into direct contact with the soil.
Plus community gardens will usually have guidelines for when you can add/use manures.
So could you provide us with more information please?
