Investor-State arbitral tribunals are increasingly policing the gates to investment treaty claims against States. The initiation of investment treaty claims against States remains subject to a high threshold of good faith against possible abuse of process by investors, as recently stressed by arbitrators Dr. Andres Rigo Sureda (President), Professor Christoph Schreuer, and Professor Jan Paulsson, in their 2 June 2016 Award in Transglobal Green Energy LLC and Transglobal Green Panama S.A. v. Republic of Panama. The Tribunal upheld Panama's objection to jurisdiction on the ground of "abuse by Claimants of the investment treaty system by attempting to create artificial international jurisdiction over a pre-existing domestic dispute." (Transglobal Award, para. 118). The Transglobal Award was issued six months after another tribunal in Philip Morris International v. Australia [composed of arbitrators Professor Karl-Heinz Böckstiegel (President), Professor Gabrielle Kaufmann-Kohler, and Professor Donald M. McRae] issued its landmark 17 December 2015 Award on Jurisdiction and Admissibility, declaring that: "the commencement of treaty-based investor-State arbitration constitutes an abuse of right (or abuse of process) when an investor has changed its corporate structure to gain the protection of an investment treaty at a point in time where a dispute was foreseeable. A dispute is foreseeable when there is a reasonable prospect that a measure that may give rise to a treaty claim will materialize." (Philip Morris Award, para. 585.) While to date there is scarcely any doctrinal unanimity over what comprises abuse of process, abuse of rights, or bad faith institution of investor-State claims [see for example Eric De Brabandere, Good Faith, Abuse of Process, and the Initiation of Investment Treaty Claims, 3 Journal of International Dispute Settlement 3, pp. 1-28 (2012), these recent arbitral decisions provide concrete guidance of factors that tribunals have taken into account to determine whether investor-claimants instituted investment treaty arbitration proceedings in good faith.
Back to the Lawless Jungle? The Vulnerability of EU Anti-Dumping Measures against China after December 2016
In a previous post, I argued that the European Union would violate its WTO obligations under the WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement (ADA) if EU anti-dumping investigators will continue to apply 'non-market economy' (NME) treatment of Chinese exports in AD investigations under the EU Anti-Dumping Regulation (ADR) after December 11, 2016. It is on that day that Art.15(a)(ii) of China's Accession Protocol (CAP) expires. Until that date, Art.15(a)(ii) provides WTO members with the right to use non-standard price comparison methodologies to determine whether and to what extent Chinese exports have been 'dumped' onto a third country market. The provision has served as a legal basis for a highly effective trade defense remedy that allows for the imposition of extraordinarily steep anti-dumping duties against Chinese exports, and Chinese exports of steel products and solar panels in particular. After the expiration of the said provision, the adoption of EU AD measures against China that are based on the use of non-standard price and cost comparison methodologies will be highly vulnerable to legal challenge in WTO Dispute Settlement (DS) proceedings in Geneva. This conclusion, however, does not prejudge the legality of AD measures that the EU has (or will have) adopted against Chinese producers prior to the December deadline. The question about the post-2016 legality of already existing EU AD measures that are "not based on a strict comparison with domestic prices or costs in China" (Art.15(a)(ii) CAP), is particularly relevant in context of the rising amount of new EU AD measures and investigations against Chinese producers of steel and solar panels that the EU has imposed and initiated in the last 18 months. It is this very question that is subject to analysis in this post.
The Empire Strikes Back: Yukos-Russia, 1-1
In the latest chapter to the ever fascinating Yukos dispute, Russia recently secured a victory in the District Court of The Hague, which set aside the US $ 50 billion awards issued two years ago by an arbitral tribunal constituted under the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT). The crucial issue was whether Russia was bound to arbitrate under the ECT's provisional application clause. The arbitral tribunal, comprised of Y. Fortier, C. Poncet, and S. Schwebel, said 'yes'; three Judges of The Hague District Court, D. Aarts, I.A.M. Kroft and H.F.M. Hofhuis, said 'no'. It will be argued here that the District Court put too much emphasis on the domestic constitutional legality of the ECT's provisional application, at the expense of investors who were entitled to believe that Russia had agreed to such provisional application.
Earlier Episodes of the Dispute
The dispute between the now defunct oil company Yukos and Russia has grown into a protracted legal battle, involving a number of investment arbitration tribunals, the European Court of Human Rights, and domestic courts in various jurisdictions. At one point the largest oil company in Russia, Yukos was liquidated in 2006 by the Russian authorities in the process of enforcing tax reassessments, which allegedly demonstrated that Yukos had engaged in large-scale tax evasion. According to Yukos and many international observers, the tax reassessments were a pretext for regaining control over the Yukos imperium and bringing down its influential CEO Mikhail Khodorkovsky.
Foreign shareholders of Yukos have brought investment arbitration claims against Russia under various treaties, including the 1989 UK-Russia BIT (award), the 1991 Spain-Russia BIT (award), and the ECT. The investors have been largely successful, obtaining their biggest win on 18 July 2014, when a tribunal constituted under the auspices of the Permanent Court of Arbitration issued three awards granting a total of US $ 50 billion to the claimants, on the ground that Russia had breached the expropriation provision of the ECT (Article 13). These awards have now been set aside by The Hague District Court (some reactions here and an analysis of the consequences here).
Provisional Application
Whereas previous battles focused on whether the Russian tax reassessments and subsequent enforcement measures were mala fide, the crucial issue at the current stage is whether the arbitration clause of the ECT (Article 26) was actually applicable with regard to Russia, which signed but never ratified the treaty, and withdrew from it in 2009 (not the only Member State to do so).
Pursuant to Article 45 ECT, a signatory State agrees to apply the treaty provisionally 'pending its entry into force', 'to the extent that such provisional application is not inconsistent with its constitution, laws or regulations' (para. 1) and if that State had not objected to provisional application at the moment of signing (para. 2(a)). Given the fact that Russia had not issued such an objection (unlike Norway, Iceland and Australia), the dispute focused on whether a provisional application of the ECT was consistent with Russian law.
Consistency of What: the Piecemeal v. the All-or-Nothing Approach
In spite of its apparently casual wording, Article 45(1) or 'the Limitation Clause' raises complicated questions of interpretation. A first point of disagreement between the arbitral tribunal and the Hague District Court is what exactly needs to be consistent with Russian law: the idea of provisional treaty application as such, or the provisional application of specific treaty provisions. According to the court (5.18), the issue of consistency should be assessed separately for any treaty provision to be applied provisionally ('piecemeal approach'), and not for the entire treaty as a whole ('all-or-nothing approach'), as the tribunal had found (like the tribunal in Kardassopoulos v. Georgia). While the tribunal and the court emphasized different textual elements of Article 45(1), their conclusions also demonstrate different preoccupations. According to the tribunal, the piecemeal approach would 'create unacceptable uncertainty in international affairs', allowing a State to opt out of provisional application at any time, in particular after a dispute had arisen (para. 315 Interim Awards). The court, on the other hand, emphasized that Article 45(1) serves to avoid conflicts between domestic law and international obligations (5.19). The provision might indeed cause some uncertainty, but this was the choice of the States party to the ECT and apparently justified by the wish to prevent inconsistencies between international and domestic law.
What Constitutes an Inconsistency?
On the basis of its piecemeal approach, the Hague District Court focused on whether the arbitration clause of the ECT was consistent with Russian law. In this context, the Yukos shareholders argued that an inconsistency between Article 26 and domestic law could only exist in the form of an explicit prohibition under Russian law. The court took a wider approach, ruling that a provisional application of the ECT's arbitration clause would also be inconsistent with Russian law if there would be no legal basis for this type of dispute settlement. The court would also find an inconsistency if investor-state arbitration did 'not harmonise with the legal system' or if it were 'irreconcilable with the starting points and principles that have been laid down in or can be derived from legislation' (5.33).
Applying this framework of analysis, the court found that Russian law did not provide 'a separate legal base' for investor-State arbitration (5.58). It did not attach much weight to the fact that in 1996 the Russian government had stated that the provisions of the ECT were 'consistent with Russian legislation' (5.60). Instead, the court pointed at the history of the ratification of some other investment treaties, demonstrating a parliamentary concern that Russian law did not contain a legal basis for investment arbitration (5.64).
State Sovereignty v. the Legitimate Expectations of the Investor
Provisional application is an exception to the normal rules on how treaties enter into force (reports of the ILC's Special Rapporteur here). Whereas the period between signing and ratifying normally allows States to reconsider the matter and verify whether domestic law needs to be adapted, a provisional application provision purports to bind States already while these assessments are being made. This is a serious intrusion into State sovereignty, which explains why the ECT contains a Limitation Clause and why it allows signatories to opt out by means of a declaration.
State sovereignty, however, is not the only interest at stake in the context of provisional application, and needs to be balanced against the legitimate expectations of other parties and, in the case of the ECT, investors. When Russia signed the ECT without making a declaration under Article 45(2), it might be thought that it created a presumption of compatibility between the ECT and domestic law. Neither the tribunal nor the court followed the shareholders' argument that the absence of a declaration under Article 45(2) precluded Russia from invoking the Limitation Clause. However, Russia's choice not to signal any objections to provisional application but to wait until a claim was filed, sheds doubts on the credibility of the defence. This is even more problematic because the alleged inconsistency concerns ambiguous provisions that seem to allow for legitimate disagreement as to whether they allow investor-State arbitration.
The Hague District Court put a strong emphasis on the importance of the domestic separation of powers. Noting that only the Russian Parliament possesses legislative powers, the court concluded that parliamentary approval was necessary for the creation of a form of dispute resolution which did not have a legal basis in Russian law (5.93). This argument seems to revert back to the question of whether the principle of provisional application is acceptable as such. One could reply that the choice to adopt a provisional application provision in a treaty already means that the signatory States temporarily circumvent the domestic separation of powers, and that they may have good reasons to do so.
Tribunals v. Courts
It is tempting to consider other, more fundamental reasons why the Hague District Court might have decided to set aside the awards. First, since Article 45(1) makes provisional application conditional on domestic law, the court may have felt a need to defer to Russia's interpretation of its own laws and to follow its argument of inconsistency. Second, it is probable that a court in the Netherlands – with its strong tradition of parliamentary sovereignty – is relatively susceptible to Russia's arguments concerning the domestic separation of powers. Third, and perhaps most importantly, it is striking that the arbitral tribunal on the one hand and the District Court on the other seem to approach the State in a different manner. The court appears well-disposed towards the State, sharing Russia's alleged concern over the domestic constitutionality of the provisional application of the ECT, whereas the tribunal is more critical, suggesting doubts as to whether Russia's invocation of Article 45(1) is sincere and credible. Arguably, the different approaches demonstrate differences between the preoccupations of arbitral tribunals and courts (not only within host states) and the ways in which they balance State sovereignty against investor interests.
CETA's New Domestic Law Clause
The recent, widely-reported 'legal scrub' of the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) has drawn attention for its endorsement of a radical shift away from the model of investor-state dispute settlement that has prevailed in investment agreements to date. The new text indicates that Canada has agreed to the EU's proposals on an investment court system, with a permanent roster of arbitrators appointed by Canada and the EU, rather than ad hoc tribunals whose members are appointed by the disputing parties themselves. In another innovation, CETA will also include an appeals mechanism, which will have power to review the merits of first-instance rulings, going beyond the limited grounds for annulment of awards in the existing ICSID system.
Alongside these revolutions, the new CETA text also contains another change from the earlier text. Under the heading of 'Applicable law and interpretation', Article 8.31(2) of the new text provides:
The Tribunal shall not have jurisdiction to determine the legality of a measure, alleged to constitute a breach of this Agreement, under the domestic law of the disputing Party. For greater certainty, in determining the consistency of a measure with this Agreement, the Tribunal may consider, as appropriate, the domestic law of the disputing Party as a matter of fact. In doing so, the Tribunal shall follow the prevailing interpretation given to the domestic law by the courts or authorities of that Party and any meaning given to domestic law by the Tribunal shall not be binding upon the courts or the authorities of that Party.
Although the provision is new in CETA, it has also recently appeared in the EU-Vietnam FTA and in similar language in the EU's November 2015 TTIP proposals. While this might suggest that the provision is a recent invention of the EU, its inspiration in CETA could equally have come from Canada, which included a similar provision in its 2008 FTA with Colombia. In fact, Colombia itself appears to have first spearheaded the provision, including language on domestic law broadly similar to the provision's first sentence in its 2007 Model BIT and in agreements signed as far back as 2006 with Japan, the UK, India, Belgium, China, Peru and Switzerland.

Trade Agreements, EU Law, and Occupied Territories (2): The General Court Judgment in Frente Polisario v Council and the Protection of Fundamental Rights Abroad
This is a follow-up to my July post on Action for Annulment Frente Polisario v Council (Case T-512/12), a case before the General Court of the European Union (GC) in which Frente Polisario – the National Liberation Movement for Western Sahara – seeks the Annulment of the EU Council decision adopting the 2010 EU-Morocco Agreement on agricultural, processed agricultural and fisheries products. The GC delivered its judgment yesterday, both recognizing the standing of Frente Polisario and granting the (partial) annulment of the decision, with implications for EU-Morocco relations and for EU external relations law more broadly.
(1) Standing of Frente Polisario under Article 263 TFEU
As regards standing, the most striking aspect of the judgment is that the Court accepted the Frente's entitlement to plead as a 'moral person', with the 'necessary autonomy' to challenge a decision of the EU legislator (paras. 50-53), without reference to the sui generis character of Frente Polisario or to the unique situation of Western Sahara. This would seem to open the door for other 'autonomous entities', even those with no claim to international legal personality, to challenge EU decisions under Article 263 TFEU.
By the same token, the Court fell short of recognizing the Frente's legal personality under international law. Read the rest of this entry…
Claims by Dual Nationals under Investment Treaties: A New Form of Treaty Abuse?
The issue of treaty abuse (or 'treaty shopping') has received heightened attention recently in the context of the on-going negotiations for the conclusion of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). In a public consultation on the potential inclusion of an investor-State arbitration clause in TTIP, the European Commission (EC) has raised concerns regarding the investors' manipulation of corporate nationality through the so-called "shell" or "mailbox" companies in order to take advantage of the protection afforded by investment treaties (See Public consultation on modalities for investment protection and ISDS in TTIP, Question 1, p. 18). In line with the contributions made by many of the participants involved in the consultation process, the EC has stated that these companies should be excluded from the scope of TTIP. Accordingly, the EC has proposed to narrow the definition of the term 'investor' by requiring that a juridical person must have 'substantial business activities' in the territory of a signatory State (See Public consultation on modalities for investment protection and ISDS in TTIP, Question 1, pg. 18).
The foregoing requirement certainly responds to the criticisms of inappropriate treaty shopping, and it may be considered as a useful tool to prevent corporate investors from obtaining treaty protection by illegitimate means. Yet, the EC overlooks the fact that, in addition to corporations, investment treaties might also be subject to abuse by individual investors. In this context, a new type of BIT claim is now emerging in the field of investor-State arbitration, whereby investors who hold the nationality of both contracting parties to the treaty (i.e. dual nationals) make their own State a respondent before an international tribunal.

Beneficial Ownership and International Claims for Economic Damage: Occidental Petroleum v. Ecuador and Restoring Limits to Investor-State Arbitral Tribunals' Jurisdiction Ratione Personae
On 2 November 2015, the ICSID ad hoc Committee composed of Prof. Juan Fernandez-Armesto (Committee President), Justice Florentino Feliciano, and Mr. Rodrigo Oreamuno in Occidental Petroleum Corporation v. The Republic of Ecuador (ICSID Case No. ARB/06/11) partially annulled the massive US $1.769 Billion award of damages issued on 5 October 2012 by the majority of the arbitral tribunal (Mr. Yves Fortier, President, and Mr. David A.R. Williams) over the strong dissent of arbitrator Prof. Brigitte Stern. Agreeing with arbitrator Stern's position that Occidental Petroleum had split its ownership to give a 40% ownership interest to a Chinese company Andes/AEC (Committee decision, para. 204), the ICSID ad hoc Committee whittled down the damages awarded to only reflect the actual 60% ownership of claimant Occidental Petroleum in the assets that Ecuador expropriated. The Committee's decision significantly brought down the compensation value for the expropriation to the 60% as owned by Occidental Petroleum to US$1.061 Billion (Committee decision, paras. 586 and 590). The Committee treated the Chinese company Andes/AEC's beneficial ownership of 40% of the expropriated assets as outside the scope of its jurisdiction over covered investors protected under the US-Ecuador BIT.
In issuing its landmark decision, the Committee stressed proscribed limits under the law of investor-State claims; the distinct confined mandate and authority of arbitral tribunals as derived from the creation and consent of States; and the ensuing narrow availability of the investor-State treaty arbitral system only to treaty-covered investors: Read the rest of this entry…
China's View of International Litigation: Is the WTO Special?
Yesterday, Geraldo Vidigal put up a really interesting post looking at recent patterns of use of the World Trade Organization's dispute settlement system. One thing that was particularly striking to me was the extent to which China has participated in the WTO dispute settlement system given its previous position on resolution of disputes by international tribunals. Geraldo's chart of the latest 100 disputes at the WTO shows that only the United States, the EU and Japan have initiated more cases at the WTO in recent years than China (with Japan initiating just one more case than China in this period). Given that the WTO system is the most widely used inter-state dispute settlement system, it might not even be an exaggeration to say that: in terms of numbers of cases brought before international tribunals by states, China is one of the most enthusiastic state users of international tribunals! Of course, that enthusiasm is only before one particular system.
In October 2010 I posted here on EJIL:Talk a piece titled "Is China Changing its View of International Tribunals?"in which I noted that China's view on international tribunals more broadly seemed to be changing. At the time, I noted China's participation in the Kosovo Advisory Opinion at the ICJ, which was the first time that the People's Republic appeared in oral hearings before the ICJ. I also pointed out China's participation, around the same time, in the written and oral phases of International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea's (ITLOS) first advisory proceedings – the Responsibilities and obligations of States sponsoring persons and entities with respect to activities in the Area (Request for Advisory Opinion submitted to the Seabed Disputes Chamber). In 2014, China submitted a substantial written statement in the Request for an advisory opinion submitted by the Sub-Regional Fisheries Commission (SRFC) though it did not take part in the oral hearings.
Of course, we have non-participation by China with respect to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea Annex VII arbitration initiated by the Philippines (in respect of which the tribunal issued an award on jurisdiction a couple of weeks ago). Read the rest of this entry…
WTO: The First 500 Disputes and the Last 100 Disputes
Yesterday, the WTO dispute settlement system received its 500th formal request for consultations. Because members may only request a WTO panel after unsuccessful consultations, filing such a request is the first step in the initiation of WTO disputes. For this reason, the request for consultations, without being per se a contentious act, signals the willingness of the member requesting consultations to take a dispute to adjudication. Between 1995 and 2015, therefore, the WTO received almost 24 disputes a year – an impressive amount for a purely inter-state dispute settlement system. Confirming the tendency of increased participation of developing countries, the 500th request was filed by Pakistan and targeted a measure imposed by South Africa.
I took this opportunity to undertake a small and very simple (some might say crude) quantitative exercise: who are currently the main WTO litigators? If we go back to 1995, the US and the EU will clearly dominate (the WTO helpfully provides a map of disputes). However, China only joined the WTO in 2001, and Russia in 2012. Thus, a more helpful exercise is to look at the last few disputes. Read the rest of this entry…
I invited our Book Review Editor, Professor Isabel Feichtner, to write a Guest Editorial, which was published on the blog in July. As the reader will immediately note it would have been foolish, given the circumstances addressed in that Editorial, to wait for the next issue of EJIL and so I proposed that it be posted immediately on EJIL: Talk! where it was widely read and justly applauded. Given its importance, going well beyond the so-called Greek Crisis, we republish it in the current issue of the Journal as an official EJIL Editorial – which of course, as is the case with all Editorials in this Journal, represents the views of the author, not of EJIL as such.
It is our hope that this Editorial will stimulate a broader discussion on our role as international lawyers in today's world of politics. To this end, let me make an open call for contributions, to the Journal and to EJIL: Talk!, on the role of international law scholarship in making sense of questions of how the refugee crisis, austerity politics, megaregionals, security politics, and so on interrelate, and how we as international lawyers can usefully intervene.

Warantees and Expectations,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Samsung BP96-01472A Replacement Lamp w/Housing 6,000 Hour Life & 1 Year Warranty (Camera)
When one pays extra for a bulb with a life expectancy of 6000 hours and a 1 year warranty, it is reasonable to expect that bulb to last more than 3 weeks. The bulb is being replaced, but it has cost me return shipping charges, a tv repair service call to make sure it was the bulb and not the TV that was the problem, and more than a week of inconvenience. The warrantee has no value, if the product is a poor quality brand X (unidentified) knock off. I will update this review if the replacement bulb has the same life span issues as the original purchase.

Analyzing dirty water
New Albany has begun a long-needed analysis of the problems and possible solutions associated with the city's reputation for dirty water.
Bill Mattox, the new head of the Light, Gas and Water Department, is looking into the problem that has plagued city residents for many years.
At a meeting of the Board of Aldermen last week, Mattox said he should have his analysis complete within four to six months, including a list of options to deal with the situation.
Mattox said the rusty-water look that often is present in the city's water is caused by iron and manganese.
City water now is treated for both substances. Much of the problem now surrounds line breaks, Mattox said.
We understand that fixing the problem may be expensive for the city, but not fixing the problem already is expensive for residents. The dirty water contributes to problems with homeowners' washers, dishwashers, ice makers, as well as water lines.
A number of residents have told us their tales of discolored and ruined clothes, as well as expensive water filters.
So far, we have been impressed with Mattox's candidness and business-like approach to the handling of his new job.
We think that keeping residents abreast at each step of the process of the issues involved in improving utility services will help build support for whatever revenue increase may be required to fix them.
We look forward to hearing his analysis of the fixes needed and their cost.

Area Forecast Discussion
454 FXUS62 KJAX 290819 AFDJAX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jacksonville FL 419 AM EDT FRI JUL 29 2016 ...Near Record Highs Expected Again this Afternoon... .Currently... Overnight surface analysis depicts Atlantic ridging (1017 millibars) centered east of the Bahamas, with is axis extending across central Florida. Aloft...deep-layered riding remains in place over the Florida peninsula. Fair skies prevail over our region, with light southwest surface winds keeping muggy conditions in place. Temperatures at 08Z ranged from the mid 70s well inland to the lower 80s in coastal locations, with dewpoints in the 70s. .Near Term (through Saturday)... Deep-layered ridging will remain centered just off the FL east coast, with its axis extending across central FL. This weather pattern will create southwest to west winds around 10 knots throughout the lower and mid levels of the atmosphere, which will keep the Atlantic sea breeze pinned near the coast during the early afternoon hours. A mostly dry and subsident air mass with unseasonably warm mid-level temperatures will prevail throughout our area, resulting in below average rain chances and near record highs once again this afternoon. The 00Z operational GFS and ECMWF models indicate that a pocket of higher PWAT air will rotate around the western periphery of the deep layer ridge from central FL this afternoon into north central FL early this evening. This feature should ignite convection along the Gulf coast sea breeze by early afternoon, with isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms developing over southern Marion County towards noon. Activity will move slowly E-NE across the rest of Marion and into Putnam County by late afternoon, where it may collide with the Atlantic sea breeze towards sunset near the St. Johns River along the Putnam/Flagler County border. Some isolated convection may try to develop northward along the St. Johns River through the early evening hours as outflows from this activity collide with the Atlantic sea breeze. Highs will reach the upper 90s inland, with mid 90s expected at the beaches. Dry air will mix down to the surface during the afternoon hours, keeping max heat index values around 105 degrees. Any lingering isolated convection along the St. Johns River basin and north central FL will quickly diminish by the mid-evening hours. Lows tonight will range from the mid 70s inland to near 80 at the coast. Ridging aloft will begin to slowly retrograde on Saturday as a TUTT/weak low level trough progresses westward across the Bahamas. Temperatures aloft will remain warm for this time of the year (-4 to -5 Celsius at 500 millibars), but deep-layered moisture will increase slightly from south to north as the day progresses. The weakening ridge will allow the Atlantic and Gulf sea breezes to advance inland a little earlier than today, and these boundaries should be the focus for isolated to widely scattered convective development during the afternoon hours for most of our region. A light westerly steering flow may result in a sea breeze collision near the St. Johns River and I-95 before sunset, with activity migrating slowly westward towards coastal locations towards sunset. Inland highs will soar into the mid/upper 90s, with mid 90s again at the beaches before the sea breeze pushes inland. Max heat index values will again approach 105 degrees. .Short Term (Saturday night through Monday)... Surface high pressure ridge will be East of the region this period, with a trough of low pressure to the North. This pattern will result in a fairly moist Southerly flow, leading to scattered afternoon convection across the forecast area. Temperatures will remain above seasonal averages this period. .Long Term (Monday night through Thursday)... High pressure will be Southeast of the region with a trough to the Northwest this period. The combination of a moist flow and the proximity of the trough will result in scattered afternoon convection across the forecast area. Temperatures will be near to slightly above normal this period. && .Aviation... VFR conditions will prevail at the regional terminals. Isolated thunderstorms may approach GNV after 21Z through 01Z. The Atlantic sea breeze will move slowly inland through the afternoon hours, crossing SGJ around 18Z, SSI around 19Z, CRG around 20Z, JAX around 21Z, and VQQ around 23Z. Surface winds will become southeasterly at 10-15 knots after the sea breeze passes these terminals...and will then veer to a southerly direction with slowly decreasing speeds towards 00Z. && .Marine... Evening southerly wind surge has brought speeds into the caution range offshore. Winds will veer to a southwesterly direction during the predawn hours, with speeds gradually decreasing below 15 knots. Winds during the morning hours will generally be westerly around 10 knots, with the sea breeze developing in the near shore waters. Winds will become southeasterly near shore, with speeds increasing to near 15 knots during the afternoon, with southerly winds closer to 10 knots expected offshore. Another evening wind surge will bring south to southwest winds up to near caution speeds offshore shortly after sunset. Winds overnight will become southwest to westerly with gradually decreasing speeds. A similar weather pattern will prevail on Saturday, with a southerly wind pattern prevailing during the daylight hours Sunday through midweek, with evening wind surges resulting in southwesterly winds reaching the caution range offshore on Sunday night and possibly each evening early next week. Only isolated thunderstorms, mainly during the late afternoon and evening hours, are expected through the weekend, with slowly increasing coverage expected early next week.

To estimate the population-based prevalence of autoimmune inflammatory myopathy (AIM) in Alberta, Canada, with a specific focus on rates in the First Nations population.
Physician billing claims and hospitalization data for the province of Alberta (1994–2007) were used to estimate the probability of having AIM (i.e., polymyositis or dermatomyositis) based on 3 case definitions. A latent class Bayesian hierarchical regression model was employed to account for the imperfect sensitivity and specificity of billing and hospitalization data in case ascertainment. We accounted for demographic factors of sex, age group, and location of residence (urban or rural) in estimating the prevalence rates within the First Nations and non–First Nations populations.
The overall prevalence of AIM was 25.0 per 100,000 persons (95% credible interval [95% CrI] 13.4–49.0) in the First Nations population and 33.8 (95% CrI 28.9–39.6) in the non–First Nations population. For both groups, prevalence was increased in women relative to men, rural women relative to urban women, and in those age >45 years.
Unlike other rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and systemic sclerosis, we did not detect an increased prevalence of AIM in Alberta's First Nations population relative to the non–First Nations population. Potential limitations include coding errors, underidentification of First Nations members, and recognized differences in access to care for the First Nations population.

Scottsdale Healthcare, American Cancer Society join forces on new study
PHOENIX — 300,000 Americans have an opportunity to leave their potentially life-saving mark on the world.
"Not just saying you're making a difference, but to really make a difference," said Director of Oncology at Scottsdale Healthcare, Lindsay Thomas. "Just think, if one person could be spared a cancer diagnosis, how meaningful that would be."
Scottsdale Healthcare has joined forces with the American Cancer Society to enroll local residents in their Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). The study is designed to help researchers better understand the behavioral, environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors that cause or prevent cancer.
"This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Americans to participate in lifesaving cancer research and we are excited to be working with American Cancer Society on this," said Thomas in a press release. "We hope it will help us better understand what factors cause cancer and equip us with the knowledge to prevent it for future generations."
The commitment starts with a small donation of blood and follow-up questionnaires over the course of several years.

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
The Belgium Senate has overwhelmingly passed a bill to allow euthanasia for children.
The measure now heads to Belgium's House of Representatives where it's expected to pass.
The country already allows euthanasia for adults, but the new bill removes all age limits.
The unprecedented measure would allow children to choose to die if they are in great pain and suffer from a terminal condition.
It's a decision many say a child is not equipped to make.
"The answer is caring. The answer is not killing," Carine Boucher, with the Center for Bio-ethics in Brussels, said.
"The child does have the maturity to get married or to buy alcohol or to buy cigarettes if he is 14. Now we are saying that because he is suffering he might have the possibility to ask for euthanasia," Boucher added.
The children would need parental consent and have to submit a written request to die.
Critics say Belgium's current euthanasia law has been abused. Some adults have been killed even though they were only depressed.

Injuries, lack of draft picks and Dwight Howard have all played prominent roles in this collapse, but the real catastrophic moment was Kobe Bryant tearing his Achilles tendon. Los Angles sought improvement this offseason by making a multitude of changes to the roster in hopes of being much more competitive in 2014-15. 5. Improved Point Guard Position Andrew D. Bernstein-Getty Images 5. Improved Point Guard Position Andrew D. Bernstein-Getty Images Point guard has constantly been an issue for Los Angeles. Steve Nash was supposed to be the solution to this problem, but injuries have obviously upset that plan. When Mitch Kupchak was presented with the opportunity to steal Jeremy Lin, he acted quickly to acquire him. Lin may not be an elite point guard, but he will give the Lakers a consistent effort on the floor offensively and defensively. He should complement Kobe Bryant pretty well. 4. Added Bench Depth Harry How-Getty Images Advertisement 4. Added Bench Depth Harry How-Getty Images Bench production was never much of a problem last season when everybody was healthy. When the injuries began to pile up though, there was really no bench to substitute in. Los Angeles smartly re-signed key role player such as Nick Young, Xavier Henry and Jordan Hill, while also signing Ed Davis and Carlos Boozer to bolster the front court. As long as the starting unit produces, the Lakers are in good shape rotation wise. 3. Defensive Mind of Byron Scott Jeff Gross-Getty Images 3. Defensive Mind of Byron Scott Jeff Gross-Getty Images The Mike D'Antoni experiment was an epic failure. Fans disliked him from the very beginning, and the odds were never in his favor. D'Antoni's lack of leadership was evident multiple times, even publicly criticized at times by Pau Gasol. Hiring a man who is familiar with the Lakers and beloved by the fans, who focuses primarily on defense, will translate perfectly to the Lakers. 2. Julius Randle Brian Babineau-Getty Images 2. Julius Randle Brian Babineau-Getty Images Starting or not starting, Julius Randle is going to be an absolute beast. Known for his rebounding ability, Randle's talents will translate perfectly to the NBA, despite being a bit undersized. To truly understand the rave about Randle, one must watch his Summer League performance where he appeared to be the next coming of Lamar Odom. Of course he has plenty to work on still, but he will have an immediate impact in the NBA. 1. Return of Kobe Bryant Evan Gole-Getty Images 1. Return of Kobe Bryant Evan Gole-Getty Images The Lakers had a terrible 2013-14 campaign -- there is no denying that. Where the critics come up short is that they are forget that the Black Mamba, Kobe Bryant, is returning this season at full force. Yes, he will be required to adjust his game and yes, he is unlikely to be the Kobe Bryant we've become accustomed to. But I can confidently say, Bryant will figure it out. There is simply no possible way that he will be unsuccessful.

Nice and quiet
Not bad, had a few issues but they took care of them right away
Decent hotel for the price but lower level hotel from many popular brands. Dated/old looking rooms and bedding. The room was clean but due to the age it felt less clean. Overall not bad, though.
Room is a tad small but comfortable and functional. Front desk lady (Nania?) was very efficient, friendly, and helpful. Liked the walk in shower and coffee in the lobby area.
Room was clean and comfortable. Checkin was fine and breakfast was minimal but good. Hotel was more than adequate for an overnight stay at an affordable price.

Jason Bay doesn't say much.
So when Terry Collins saw his left fielder arguing with home plate umpire Larry Vanover over a called third strike in the sixth inning, the Mets manager figured Vanover must've been wrong.
Debby Wong/US Presswire
Terry Collins was ejected Wednesday for arguing a strike call that seemed outside on replay."Jason Bay never says a word, so when he's arguing something, there's an issue, and I saw the replay," said Collins, who was ejected by Vanover for arguing balls and strikes with the Mets trailing 1-0. "I'm not gonna get all caught up, but it was at the point in the game where [if] he gets something to handle, it could change the whole dynamic of the rest of the game."
It was the first time Collins has been ejected this season. At least on replay, it appeared the pitch in question was outside.
Granted, it must have been weird for Collins to argue balls and strikes when his team was struggling in that department (see below).
"Jason Bay doesn't say anything to anybody, and once in a while you gotta protect somebody," Collins said.
• Mets pitchers combined to walk 10 Nationals on Wednesday afternoon, the team's first double-digit, nine-inning walk game since they issued 11 on May 9, 2010, vs. San Francisco.
"We didn't pitch very good [Wednesday]. You don't walk guys," Collins said. "We were lucky it was only 4-0."
Mets relievers combined for seven of those walks (Manny Acosta, three; Ramon Ramirez, two; Miguel Batista, one, and Jon Rauch, one).
• Johan Santana's 99 pitches were his most in a game since he finished with 101 on Aug. 28, 2010, vs. Houston, his second-to-last start before he had surgery.
• The Mets were shut out nine times in 2011, the last on Sept. 17 at Atlanta. ... Ike Davis' 0-for-18 drought was the longest by a Mets position player to start a season since 2001, when Todd Pratt went 0-for-19 to begin the year, according to Elias.
• Stephen Strasburg earned his first career victory over the Mets after striking out nine in six shutout innings.

So, if we 'test the spirits', to find if these multiple people are Jesus. OP you would consider the person for 'tempting the Lord', and not having faith, that these, [b]not only one[/b], but multiple people are Jesus? When the antichrist comes, are you also going to state, these people are 'tempting to the Lord', when they 'test the spirit' to identify him. [/quote] AC would you mind trying to explain what you just said differently and using just one Jesus in your scenario ? I'm not gonna try and debate you or make a point , I think I have similar thoughts but I don't quit understand exactly what your saying , I think I have an idea though [/quote] Let me reword this. If a person claims, he's Jesus. Should we not 'test the spirit', to identify the'false prophets', as the Bible instructed. [b]Especially [/b]considering there are many people who claim to be Jesus. If we shouldn't 'test the spirit', and since this would be as OP stated, 'tempting the Lord'. Does this mean, then, we should blindly believe the people, are all Jesus. [/quote] Thanks AC, thats what i thought , If I don't feel 100 percent certain in my heart and soul then I think the answer is yes , considering how good the demons are at masquerading themselves and they are also very intelligent , it almost dosnt seem fair , I mean how am I supposed to trust someone I don't know ? Seems like it could make me voulnarable to being attacked ? But I would never want to live in a world that didn't have trust. I might be learning as I'm going along here as we speak, so hopefully someone can help me out here , so if I accept Jesus as my lord and savior , which I have done many times , than I am to believe that there wont even be a question in my mind , if a demon or Satan pretended to be Jesus infront of me ? I would just know ? WINGDLION feel free to comment on my last questions or thoughts. [/quote] This is why I stress the multiple people who currently claim to be Jesus. Let's say, 5 people all claim to be Jesus. We already know that there's only 1 Jesus. Meaning 4 of the 5, or all 5 people are lying. Therefore we need to 'test the spirits' to discern the 'false prophets' as instructed by the Bible. Now, OP thinks, if we 'test the spirit' this is 'tempting the Lord'. So according to OP, we would as he stated have 'faith', and assume all 5 people are Jesus, which is obviously false. I'm essentially bringing up points, that OP, will ignore. Instead of acting mature, when he comes across a point, that prove him wrong. He acts like a little child, gets his feelings hurt, and then starts making threat. He acts "mature", if people agree with him. But if you point out something, that he can not answer, he acts like a typical little immature child. You know what's going to happen to the false prophets, and those who they mislead (the warning is in the Bible). This is why I'm highly cautious, with people, who claim to hear from God. [/quote] Why are you still here? claim yer prize, and be done with it. No sign, trick, demonstration or miracle is coming to you! yOU GET nothing from me! nOW WHO IS THE ONE BEING STUPID? Claim your prize, and get ready for the big horror show! That seemed muc h more like a true demonstration of the mighty power of God than just calling out a name (which I have but refuse to give it). Nothing like nearly a billion dead bodies to demonstrate the mighty power of God. Imagine the horror when everywhere you go is the stentch of rotting corpses, then couple that with the understanding that each and everyone of them deserved it? It will take seven Months just to bury them all. And that is not only giving you a sign, but also fulfilling biblical prophecy. Let us stop limiting the limitless one! [/quote] LOL discerning the spirits the Lord is pretty unmistakeable thats the one whose presence will make what resides in your heart flees to the pit of your stomach as you drop to your knees O you'll be ill for a few days after also,theres pretty much no mistaking him he's absolutely fucking terrifying.

Original Message
The few weeks leading up to my Death.
I was a mess by the time I met my new doctor, the last 16 years of being a high priority targeted individual has ruined my health. I was on nearly twenty medicines two types of powerful narcotic pain medicine. I hurt all the time, but one thing that kept me going was a perscription for cannibis that the Lord had asked me to take for stroke relief. I had suffered three strokes, had congestive heart failure, Diabetes, High blood pressure, apnea, and a host of neuralogical disorders, made taking cannibis nearly a requirement for me, however it was not legal in the state I live in so I always had to go underground to get my medicine.
My new doctor learned of my targeted individual status and had asked me to bring my mother in for a session to verify the facts of my demise, so we went to the doctors on December the tenth of 2012. When I got there I had left my wallet in the cab and they stole it. I was in a near panicked state of mind but as I made my way to the doctors office I was met by the nurse being syrupy sweet told me that I had to go and get a test for the doctor. I assumed it was going to be a blood test but to my surprise it was going to be a drug screen test. A drug screen test to bring out his new drug policy for any narcotic perscriptions in the future. It specifically mentioned no marijuana use or you do not get your perscription.
It all felt like one big set-up which it was, specifically directed to keeping me off of cannibis, which it didn't make sense, until I found that it was a Satanic inspired "street theater" they all love to play on unsuspecting Christians. For some reason they did not want me to have any cannibis, they would except no excuse. If I did not comply, they would deny my medicines for pain.
The more I thought about it, the more it began to stink of an enemy plot, but why??? I did not know what was about to happen in the near future, but for some reason they did, and was trying to prevent an event that would change the entire dynamic of my warfare with them.

Design is about more than just making something pleasing to the eye. It's not design in the most literal sense of the term – how it looks. It's more about what the design means and what it should be conveying. Great ideas have a tendency to collect unnecessary pieces, and we (as humans) have a natural habit of overcomplicating things. We help to remove the clutter, and have an end result of something that's not just aesthetically pleasing, but really structurally sound and represented in an artistic expression of all of the research, planning and strategy that went into it.
We believe that simple is not simplistic, and that you have to look at something from every angle (creating prototypes, and thinking about all of its uses) to be most effective. You don't just design a menu so it looks pretty. You think about everything that goes into it. The design is the flesh over the bones, but the underlying structure and framework needs to be solid before the creative, art, and design piece can be most effective. Successful designs are not born out of the pursuit of a pleasing aesthetic, but rather they are informed by inspiration and the motivating "why" behind everything we do.
We can make sure everything is consistently aligned and that there are no gaps between the branding, planning and execution. Every decision should be made with intent, and all of the prior research and planning has identified what that intent should be. Sometimes the "creative" pieces can become cumbersome to the advancement of the brand in a more meaningful way. But our multi-disciplined, holistic, integrated approach adds value to the design investments and ensures that nothing gets off course.

No doubt, shopping the multiplying and widening supermarket aisles can be overwhelming and downright confusing. I often look at people facing the orange juices, milks, yogurts, salad dressings, etc., and observe their eyes glazed over with all the options. It reminds of my mother's comment that buying milk used to be simple...there was one type of milk. (I often want to come to peoples' rescue and sometimes do noting my profession!)
If you read Read It Before You Eat It your glazed over look will disappear, you'll zero in on the healthiest choices and emerge with a cart-full of delicious and healthy foods quicker and with less brain-drain.
Bonnie teaches how to not be de-railed by front-of-package advertising hype and the how to's of interpreting the complicated nutrition facts label. Yes, you'll finally figure out how to apply those DV (daily values) to you! She answers the questions: Is organic worth it?, how to make sense of the ingredient list, and the front-of-package nutrition ranking programs which are proliferating (such as NuVal and Guiding Stars and others which have already seen better days).Read more ›
How often does a book change your life? I'm not referring to "reading for pleasure" for some books, fact or fiction, can make an impression. I am talking about a real life-changing book that is also a pleasure to read. Bonnie Taub-Dix takes what has been, until now, a dull, scientific way of teaching us to watch what we eat and you've probably tossed aside magazine articles telling you to read labels. Now she hands us an easy to follow, easy to understand, down-to-earth method of doing what we hate doing, and in just a few chapters she has us doing it with spirit! Her introduction to each segment tells us what to expect and her Fast Facts helps us remember what we should not forget. All right, I had one negative reaction (stay with me on this). I finally substituted sorbet for my much-loved Ben & Jerry's. But wait! That negative turned into a real positive when my doctor was delighted with my "numbers." If you've been putting off making the necessary changes in your eating habits, please READ IT BEFORE YOU EAT IT and come along with me on an easy trip to better health, with a weight-loss bonus.
I would recommend this book to: consumers who are totally confused by label reading or just want to learn a little more, dietitians, chefs, nutrition teachers, and anyone else who is responsible for spreading sound, scientific-based nutrition information.

As we mourn two very different individuals, we also mark the power of creativity and conviction. Cassius Clay aka Muhammad Ali became more than a sporting legend. He was the conscience keeper of the USA, sparring with his government and delivering the knockout punch when he refused to enroll in the army to fight the Vietnam war.
Gopal Sharman was not a sporting icon or a politician. He was the quintessential free spirit - creating, dreaming and manifesting his passion in the arts through the charming Akshara Theatre in the nation's capital. A generous host, many remember his warmth and bonhomie during the numerous plays that were staged or nurtured at Akshara.
Four more giant trees fell late last month. Aruna Sundarlal, the music patron and iconic Bengaluru cultural figure, breathed her last. Nearby, in Kerala, the giant savant Kavalam Narayana Panikker bid farewell in a peaceful final transition in his home. Another renowned artiste, noted Hindustani classical musician Veena Sahasrabuddhe, made the final transition. Odisha lost Odissi guru Kanduri Charan Behera. They are going. Fast. Quickly. Quietly.
