Series of Explosions Triggers Large Fire
SHORTLY AFTER NOON Central TODAY (Tuesday) A SERIES OF EXPLOSIONS led to a fire at a Texas natural gas production facility. A pipeline within the Enterprise Products plant blew up and product within the line started burning leading to about 12 more explosions and more product exposed to the fire.
The pipelines leading into the facility have been shut off and the residual chemicals and liquids that are used in natural gas production are being allowed to burn off. The responding fire departments are protecting the exposures while the fire burns. A spokesman for Enterprise says that the lines were operating under capacity, so it won't take as long as otherwise to burn out.
Enterprise officials say that there are usually about 8 to 10 employees working there at that time, but one of them who is believed to have been in the area of the explosion is still unaccounted for.
KHOU-TV has filed this interesting raw video that shows some exposures igniting from the convection:
The Houston Chronicle tells: The facility in Chambers County is a natural gas fractionation facility, where natural gas liquids are separated into different components before being put into storage or injected into pipelines. It has a capacity of about 305,000 barrels of natural gas liquids per day. Recently, it has become an important hub to oil and gas producers in South Texas' Eagle Ford shale formation, where large quantities of natural gas liquids are being extracted and processed for usage by Gulf Coast petrochemical plants and other customers.
The Houston Chronicle has the early STORY.

The Man Who Bought A Toy For His Kid and Kept It For Himself
It's funny, the baggage an artist carries
through life. Memories, good and bad, tend to be the measure of any
artist's repertoire. And animators, being the consummate artists that
they are, are certainly no exception. But where an animator's repertoire
does seem to be exceptional is that it is typically a treasure trove
full of memories of much-loved toys of the past. Hence... When I was a boy, one of the best Christmas presents I ever got was
a Mattel six-shooter. It was, to be exact, a Deputy Fanner... a
nifty little Colt .45 replica with ivory (okay, plastic) handles... a
ringer for the gun Little Joe used on Bonanza. Worked like
the real thing, too. It used Greenie stik'm' caps and shot
spring-loaded "Shootin' Shell" bullets, just like the
ones in the television ad. That ad used to show kids shooting the
Fanner at an upside-down bucket, the bullets making a very nice "ting-tang"
sound. But believe you me, when I repeated this demonstration at home
with my mom's old wash bucket, the sound those little plastic
bullets made was absolutely delicious.
That same Christmas I got an Erector Set. Needless to say, I damn
near wore out my six-shooter before I finally got around to that Erector
Set. But one rainy day, when I had no more stik'm'caps and the last
of my bullets had rolled under our musty old couch, I wearily dragged
out my Erector Set box and opened it for the very first time. Wow.
What a surprise! Everything looked so cool. So many shiny pieces of
metal. So many doo-dads of all sorts, nuts, bolts...Big boy fare!
And then, of course, there was that little motor and the chain. Neat-o.
I began to assemble my first crane. For the next six months my Deputy Fanner collected dust as I spent
all my spare time with the Erector Set. Many a feverish night I sat
huddled under the blankets with a flashlight, poring over that erector
set manual. Mom, ever worried that I had discovered my Dad's
stash of girlie magazines, threw back the covers one night, only to
find to her relief that her son was getting off on windmills and tractors,
not Misses February and March. Relief would turn to horror, however,
when Mom realized what a techno-nerd I had become. It wasn't
like I was a prodigy or anything. After a while my late night projects
had become an obsession and Mom began to worry. She even hinted at
where Dad kept the mags. Didn't work, however. By the time I
exited puberty I had no less than three Erector Sets, including an
advanced discovery set that came with a wired remote control. LEGO My LEGO Then I got married and started a family. On a whim, I bought my first
son a LEGO kit and "helped" him put it together (hell, the
kid was only two). One kit led to two, two to four, and I guess you
can guess the rest. Now, if I could only muster the courage to just
let go and let my son play with er, his LEGO.
As a grownup I have come to appreciate a few toys that have arrived
on the scene since my youth, but not many. I have, for example, always
thought the whole LEGO thing was pretty cool stuff. I'd had Lincoln
Logs and Tinker Toys, and thought LEGO would've been neat to
have as a kid. But as an adult I pretty much dismissed building LEGO,
much preferring, well...girlie magazines. Funny thing, though,
how, when I was supposedly working on a screenplay at my writing partner's
house I always managed to dig out and fool with his prized LEGO collection
-- every time I visited his house!

In January 2009 the Committee on Cultural Diversity with its five subcommittees celebrates its first birthday. Many have asked how things are going for this Committee and the Secretariat that works under its direction. I take this opportunity to give a brief report.
My first impression is that the restructuring of cultural/ethnic offices has provided everyone here at the USCCB with an opportunity to renew their commitment to serving the bishops and the dioceses more effectively by becoming more aware and competent in the broad field of cultural, ethnic and racial diversity. The bishops chose to use the word "diversity" and signaled their awareness of the central place that diversity and cultural contextualization play in the Church's identity and mission to evangelize today. What that means concretely is that pastoral ministry of every kind must reflect more and more the reality of this diversity by forming ministers – bishops, priests, deacons, religious men and women and lay ecclesial ministers – who possess the necessary cultural competencies to effectively reach out to communities of non-European origin who today constitute the majority of Catholics in the United States. This is a shift of historic consequences for the Church in this country.
At the same time the bishops realize that there is already a track record of pastoral planning and response particularly in the case of Hispanic and African American Ministries that needs to be affirmed but now put in the broader context of newer groups like the Asian and Pacific Islanders. The needs and long, often painful history of the aboriginal peoples must also be recognized and ways found to collaborate more effectively with the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions and with the Tekakwitha Conference which have served for many years now as the primary national agencies for addressing the challenges of Native American Catholic ministries.
One of the implications of the explosion of diverse groups in the Church in the U.S. is the challenge of creating a serious dialogue not only between them and the European American "mainstream" but also among the diverse groups themselves. The staff of the Secretariat has become more hopeful this year about the possibility of learning from each other. The staff is also aware of the shift going on in parishes and dioceses throughout the country whereby the so-called "minority groups" are achieving critical mass and in more than a few situations assuming more and more ecclesial leadership. This important change requires a re-focusing, transfer and development of resources for better forming and affirming this emerging leadership. The effective unity of the Church is now making it imperative that leaders from these emerging, diverse communities talk together about strategies, policies and to support one another's ecclesial agenda as well as develop a shared agenda.
Pope Benedict XVI's apostolic visit in April 2008 provided real encouragement for our Secretariat's mandate because the Holy Father spoke in no uncertain terms about the opportunity that diversity offers the Church. He strongly supported the Bishops in their plea for a fair and just reform of immigration law. He took the opportunity on almost every occasion to note the blessing that diversity brings to the Church. He gave emphasis to the Hispanic presence by speaking on several occasions in Spanish. The beautiful liturgies and ceremonies faithfully modeled this diversity, especially the magnificent Mass celebrated at the National Stadium in Washington, DC.
People ask, however, about the role that the Committee on Cultural Diversity and its Secretariat plan to play in facilitating the Church's relationship to so much diversity. That is a good question! At this early date it seems that the Committee and Secretariat are entering into a period of ongoing dialogue with many other committees and departments of the Bishops Conference. The purpose of this is to help integrate the awareness of diversity and its implications for so many aspects of the Church's life into the activities of the entire USCCB. This is not easy. The strategic planning process centered on five priorities provides an excellent framework for culturally contextualizing the Conference's efforts. The challenge is going to be in finding the time and expertise to work through these implications is such broad areas of concern – faith formation and sacramental practice, promotion of vocations to priesthood and consecrated life, life and dignity of the human person, and strengthening marriage. Of course, one of the priorities is recognition of cultural diversity itself with special emphasis on Hispanic ministry.
In carrying out this tremendously challenging task the Secretariat is guided by the bishops on the Cultural Diversity Committee who have expressed a desire first of all to proceed in a way that is truly collaborative, that is, that recognizes the many efforts being made in dioceses as well as by religious congregations of men and women, apostolic movements, and Catholic colleges and universities and regional and national organizations to address the opportunities and needs of the whole Church. While financial resources are scarce and getting scarcer, the bishops desire to be supportive and as present as they can be to the evangelization carried out by both professionals and volunteers in the field. Secondly, the bishops wish to encourage a real sense of subsidiarity whereby the communities closest to the needs and, in the final analysis, most invested in finding the way forward, are given the recognition and support they need to respond to their situation. This way of proceeding reflects an ecclesiology of communion more than a top-down approach.
One of the implications of Vatican II's ecclesiology of communion is the reduction of a certain kind of paternalism that often has the undesirable effect of disempowering communities rather than enabling them to respond to their needs and opportunities. For this ecclesiology to be effective, however, a great deal of dialogue, better communication and mutual accountability is needed. In regard to the need for communication, the Secretariat is hopeful about the possibilities offered by the internet and is spending a lot of time forging as effective a communications plan as possible.
I have come to think that in creating the Secretariat of Cultural Diversity in the Church the bishops were signaling a way forward as an historic cultural shift goes into high gear. In this process the Hispanic communities, as a matter of sheer demographics, must assume a special role. The encuentro pastoral planning processes of the past several decades have endowed U.S. Latino Catholics with a great collective experience and solid pastoral accomplishment that have to be communicated to new generations. Latinos must also learn from the history, accomplishments and future promise of African American Catholics who for many reasons provide a model of organization and commitment of which the whole Church in the United States can justly be proud. Asian and Pacific Island communities, the aboriginal peoples and the abundant flow of refugees and migrants coming to this land are not any less part of our Church's and country's great treasure of humanity. No one knows all the gifts they will eventually bring. But they will be significant. The Secretariat of Cultural Diversity seeks then to help mine this gold, these often "hidden blessings" of diversity for parishes, dioceses and the entire Church.
Speaking about the impact of cultural diversity in terms of a give and take between cultures in his own Diocese of Rome, the Holy Father Benedict XVI said (as reported in L'Osservatore Romano for February 7, 2008): …"There is a giving and receiving on all sides: precisely this accounts for the vitality of catholicity, where we are all indebted to the gifts of the Lord and are then able to give them to one another. It is in this reciprocity of gifts, of giving and receiving, that the Catholic Church lives. This vivacity, at least of the religious spirit, that exists in these continents (Asia, Africa and Latin America) is consequently a great gift to all of us…in particular to those countries where the phenomenon of immigration is more pronounced…Our cold Catholicism is revived by this fervor that comes from them. Hence catholicity is a great gift."

A secured credit card usually will require a savings account with a balance of $200 or more and will then issue a card limited to this amount. The benefit of this type of card is that not only do you have a credit card like any other, but more importantly, a secured card develops credit history. You should confirm that the card will be reported to all three major credit reporting agencies. One thing to ask for in getting such a card is if they will offer you an unsecured card after a designated period of on-time payments.
Secured credit card programs routinely report to one or all three credit bureaus, not for only negative comments such as late payments. But because on-time payment history accounts for over 33 percent of your credit score, on-time payment of any secured debt is the fastest way to build a good credit history. Of course, you never want to be late with any payment as this is the same as pouring a bucket of ice water on your credit building efforts.
When seeking a good secured credit card, find out if your savings will draw interest and how much interest you have to pay on card balances. If there is a promotional offer, ignore it and base your decision on the regular interest rate. Check for anything else you might be seeking in a card such as cash back or rewards. Usually a secured card won't have these features, but occasionally rewards do exist.

R.I.P. Adam Yauch
Adam Yauch passed away today. You might know him better as MCA, member of Brooklyn-based hip-hop trio the Beastie Boys. It's tough to put my feelings about his passing into words. It's pretty rare that any celebrity passing has much of an effect on me. This one is different. While fellow Beasties Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz and Michael "Mike D" Diamond's nasal, playful delivery helped earn the group its initial reputation as goofy slackers, it was Yauch's gritty baritone that kept the group's sound grounded. When you heard Yauch's voice in a Beastie Boys song, you heard someone powerful, a voice with soul.
What you might not know about Yauch is that he founded the Milarepa Fund in 1994 to help support efforts toward Tibetan freedom, or that he was a vegan Buddhist who championed women's rights. While the Beastie Boys became notorious for their excesses in the face of sudden fame, they also used their position in the public eye to help provide voices to those who weren't being heard. None were more vocal in this regard than Yauch. To quote his verse in 1994's "Sure Shot": "I wanna say a little something that's long overdue/the disrespect to women has got to be through/to all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends/I want to offer my love and respect to the end." He was a man who practiced what he preached, and he should be remembered not just as a great musician, but as a great human being. A very bright light just went out in the world. It feels like an old friend is gone. However, it's important not just to mourn the loss of a wonderful individual, but to celebrate the art he left us. Below is a video of the Beastie Boys on Soul Train, performing Paul's Boutique highlight "Shadrach." Watch it and smile. That's how MCA would've wanted it.
Your friendly Classroom Assistant,

This morning, I linked to a racist column by National Review writer John Derbyshire. This afternoon, National Review announced that they've fired Derbyshire:
His latest provocation, in a webzine, lurches from the politically incorrect to the nasty and indefensible. We never would have published it, but the main reason that people noticed it is that it is by a National Review writer. Derb is effectively using our name to get more oxygen for views with which we'd never associate ourselves otherwise. So there has to be a parting of the ways. Derb has long danced around the line on these issues, but this column is so outlandish it constitutes a kind of letter of resignation. It's a free country, and Derb can write whatever he wants, wherever he wants. Just not in the pages of NR or NRO, or as someone associated with NR any longer.
I love that they point out that Derbyshire has always been pretty racist, but just not this openly racist. Way to take the high road, guys.
I think the most telling thing about all this is that every National Review post referring to this whole Derbyshire mess has had its comments closed. This is because National Review's editors know that their readers will no doubt fill the comment threads with even uglier racism in Derbyshire's defense, which would reveal exactly how large a racism problem the right really has.
I am a homophobe, though a mild and tolerant one, and a racist, though an even more mild and tolerant one, and those things are going to be illegal pretty soon, the way we are going. Of course, people will still be that way in their hearts, but they will be afraid to admit it, and will be punished if they do admit it. It is already illegal in Britain to express public disapproval of homosexuality–there have been several prosecutions. It will be the same here in 5-10 years, and I shall be out of a job. Fortunately I have marketable skills.)

City permits are more than permission slips, they come with inspection services that help guarantee a project is done properly
July 21, 2011 at 10:55 am in Pine Journal
After a deck holding 30 party-goers collapsed outside a condominium in Texas last August, follow-up investigation revealed the deck had been rebuilt only months before, without a city permit or an inspection. Twenty-one people were injured when that deck fell, one broke his back.
The news stories of the consequences of that deck failure including injuries and legal action serve as a cautionary tale for those who think building permits aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Continue Reading

"This is an excellent crunchy cabbage salad for a buffet any time of the year." — JJOHN32
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 pound bacon
1 large head red cabbage, shredded
1 small head cauliflower, chopped
1 (8 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing
1 (6 ounce) can French-fried onions
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
This is a refreshing change from the same old veggie salad and the dressing isn't as overpowering as in some other recipes.Both my familly and I enjoyed this salad.
I wouldn't have thought of Italian dressing in a cabbage salad but it was very good. It was great the day I made it but as a "leftover" the fried onions and the bacon turned mushy.
6 Ratings
Brought this cabbage salad to a potluck and everyone loved it. The red cabbage really made it stick out compared to the other green salads. If you like Ramen salads, you'll really enjoy this one.
This was good! My friend who doesn't like cabbage liked this salad! The only change I made was I used a jar of pickled cauliflower and other veggies and drained half the juice off. Also, I used cheddar french fried onions instead of plain. I will definately make again! Thanks!
I usually make cabbage salad with red and green cabbage, carrots and sweet onions, but, all I had was red cabbage and I decided to try this recipe. The bacon and fried onions became soggy within 1/2 an hour (it was a block party, so, the food was out for hours) and the cauliflower seemed unnecessary. I definitely prefer my version.
This makes quite a lot! I warmed pre-cooked bacon, blotted the grease and chopped it. We won't eat it in one sitting, so I added everything except the onions, divided into containers and I'm adding the onions just before serving each container, so they don't get limp. I think the key is using an Italian dressing you really like, as this provides most of the flavor. Great change-of-pace recipe!

In referendums people are often inclined to answer a different question
Electorate can see poll as being of lesser importance and use it simply to punish the Government
A weak campaign by mainstream parties can leave a vacuum ready for filling by interest groups from wider civil society. Photograph: Alan Betson
An outside observer could be forgiven for thinking that we like referendums. We certainly have had a lot of them (34 to date) and are about to have a few more. We already know that there will be at least four or five more in the lifetime of this Government. Referendums on Seanad abolition and the proposed court of appeal will take place this October, and sometime between now and late 2015 there will be plebiscites on reducing the voting age and the age requirement for presidential candidates, and possibly also on same-sex marriage. The Government has signalled that still more referendums could follow before the next election.
Whatever else we might criticise Irish politics for, there is no disputing the point that we get asked to vote on issues more regularly than most. Only Switzerland and Italy make more use of referendums. Of course, the principal reason for this is the requirement under Bunreacht na hÉireann that every constitutional amendment needs the consent of the people, so whether they like it or not Irish governments have to hold referendums on constitutional reform.
Referendums have their virtues but they also have their vices. Their main virtue is that they give a direct voice to the people in deciding on a matter, taking the decision out of the hands of elected politicians. But giving citizens the right to decide is not without its problems, four of which can be identified here.
First, there are cases where the issue being considered is complex or arcane. For instance, there are grounds for arguing that the ever more ambitious EU treaty reforms by their nature are so complex that it would be more appropriate for the details to be thrashed out in parliamentary debate, as happens in most other EU member states, rather than by the blunt instrument of a Yes/No vote in the polling station.
There is the related problem that voters may feel they have not been given sufficient information to form an opinion, many opting to play safe following the adage that "if you don't know, vote no".
This can also occur when there are reasons to doubt the accuracy of the information being presented. A recent example was the late entry into the 2011 Oireachtas inquiries referendum by eight former attorneys general casting doubts over the veracity of the government's case. More dramatically, there was the successful Supreme Court challenge to the fairness of the government's information campaign during the most recent Children's Rights referendum.
A third problem relates to levels of interest in the issue at hand. Voters may simply not be interested enough in the issue to learn more about it or even to bother voting.
In the 1979 referendums to protect the adoption system and to extend voting rights in Seanad elections to graduates of all Irish universities, barely a quarter of citizens (28.6 per cent in each case) bothered to vote, while the 1996 referendum to allow courts under certain circumstances to refuse bail attracted a turnout of just over 29 per cent.
Of course, the problems of low levels of interest are not just confined to the voters, as shown by the revelation in the heat of the Lisbon 1 campaign that the Irish European commissioner Charlie McCreevy had not read the treaty!

A Free City in the Balkans: Reconstructing a Divided Society in Bosnia "The topic is extremely important - and will become more so as various endgames are reached in the Balkans ... Matthew Parish's analysis is rigorous, clear-eyed and extremely persuasive ... the book is a terrific as well as important read." --Eric A. Posner, Kirkland and Ellis Professor, University of Chicago Law School "The markedly critical tone of the book ... is unlikely to make Matthew Parish a resoundingly popular figure with his former employers and other international organisations active in Bosnia. His damning critique of the role and the actions of the OHR and the state-building attempts by the international community can make for uncomfortable reading. Be that as it may, this is a story that needed to be told, not least because it is a story of our times – one of internationally-driven state-building in the contemporary context, and all of the inherent problems associated with such projects. ... a timely and valuable addition to the existing literature". Balkan Insight "a vivid and at times very disturbing picture of multiple layers of institutional, cultural and political misunderstandings at all levels of Bosnian government ... Perhaps Parish's greatest insight is in noting the huge and unbridgeable gap that exists between what the international community and local Bosnian actors understood the war's end - and the Dayton Peace Accords - to actually mean. ... To see how contradictory visions of the state conflicted in a local institutional setting is what makes A Free City in the Balkans particularly useful today as Bosnia is again plunged into political uncertainty and disarray." Nationalities Papers
"[Your book] is written with so much of emotion, not to say frustration and bitterness that it becomes more a caricature of reality than a compilation of well considered observations and opinions. ... The result is a book full of twisted truths, half-truths and blatant lies. " -- Robert Bosscher, former Dutch Ambassador to Sarajevo

On the Private Investor Principle (2003) 28 E.L. Rev. 70
Critique of a central principle of EC competition law as conceptually incoherent. This piece received quite some acclaim at the time, because it advocated wholesale revision of an important part of EC law. The issue – the proper test of when government intervention in the economy is classifiable as "state aid" – became topical again in 2009, in the context of government bail-outs and stimulus programmes. A copy of the article can be downloaded by clicking here. At the request of Philippe Herzog MEP, I gave expert evidence to the European Parliament on the subject matter of this article in June 2003 in connection with proposed law reforms. My presentation notes to the Parliament are available here.

The Economic Logic of Formality in Property Law European Law & Economics Association 2009 Annual Conference (September 2009)

The Proper Law of an Arbitration Agreement Arbitration, the Journal of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (November 2010)
Argues that conventional doctrines of dépeçage in the law of international arbitration are confused. The "proper law of an arbitration agreement" by which an arbitration clause's validity is judged should generally follow the lex fori, irrespective of the lex causae; but capacity to arbitrate should be assessed by the lex domicilii, even for public entities.
Awarding Moral Damages to Respondent States in Investment Arbitration Berkeley Journal of International Law (Fall 2010)
Investigates the incidence of moral damages claims in investment treaty arbitration. Surveys cases where claimants have been awarded moral damages, and considers the criteria and quantum.

The Demise of the Dayton Protectorate Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding, December 2007
Discusses the rise and fall of the international legal regime in post-war Bosnia, under which a UN official called the "High Representative" ran Bosnia as an internationally administered governorate for over ten years. This piece caused some controversy, as the Office of the High Representative was unhappy with its conclusions, and domestic political parties within Bosnia and Herzegovina sought to use the opinion for political ends. The article is available online here.

Can states be built using commercial law?
December 2007
This was a piece I wrote, initially as a favour to stimulate a colleague's article. I never completed it or submitted it for publication. Perhaps I should have done so; it is quite an interesting piece.
The Brčko Sustainability Project
November 2007
Upon leaving OHR's employment, I was disheartened by the institutional backsliding I saw in Brčko, as efforts at state-building waned. I wrote this piece as an attempt to stimulate a debate about the proper international community policy towards the city after OHR's closure. My thought was that a relatively modest foundation could provide soft power within the District, and support the politicians there through creating a continued perception of international attention as they struck out on their own. At the time of writing, the idea has not come to much, although I continue to believe that it is a viable method of managing the transition from heavy international intervention to domestic political autonomy.

Horrible piece of inexpensive garbage..Pros: lightweight. bumper-ed plug like the original x-box microphone headsets. Cons: Those were the only good traits, be glad you only payed around 16 dollars through newegg everywhere else, it costs 20 or 30. Mine had constant sound problems, could pick up sounds from across the room from where it was sitting, broke quickly and hated working in the way it was supposed to. The saddest part is, it lasted a lesser amount of time than an original x-box headset and I realize for the amount of money you pay for it you can't expect much, but that was bad.. It even has horrible quality to boot, SAVE YOUR MONEY, DO NOT BUY THIS! Other Thoughts: I had to tape the mic to the headset to hold it up at the proper angle, it wasn't able to stay in one position after about a week or two after I bought it. It isn't just a waste of money, it's a waste of tape too! Did you find this review helpful? |
It worked for a while..Pros: Comforable? Cons: Stopped working within the first week of me having it. I suspect a bad conection. I know its not the controller because I have an extra head set that works. Other Thoughts: I just forked out the dough and got the wireless head set. It works great and you dont have to worry about chords or faulty connections. You could even buy them used for $30-$40 if you dont want to pay $60. Did you find this review helpful? |

The Thistle Birmingham Edgebaston is just about within walking distance of the town centre if you're feeling energetic! The hotel is a cylindrical shape; the lobby on the ground floor, car parking on 1st and 2nd floors and rooms on 4, 5 an 6. Due to the shape of the hotel, the rooms are wedge shaped. The exterior rooms are probably quite pleasant, but the interior rooms look out on to the central 'core' of the hotel, which is not much more than a dark shaft. These rooms are also small and dark, with tiny bathrooms.
The hotel serves a good quality 'English breakfast' in a bright, clean dining room.

The Chairperson said that, in accordance with the rules of procedure for meetings of the Council for Trade in Services (S/L/15), the election of the new chairperson should have taken place at the first meeting of the year in order to take effect at the end of that meeting.
Negotiations on Emergency Safeguard Measures (article x of the gats)
The Chairperson recalled that, as mandated by the work programme on emergency safeguard measures, the outgoing Chairperson had circulated on 14 March 2003 a Report on Negotiations on Emergency Safeguard Measures (S/WPGR/9).
With respect to the period covered by the Report, her delegation had understood that it would start from July 2002; she took note that the Chair had chosen a more comprehensive approach.
Political will was required on both sides, and the substantive aspect of this political will could be, for instance, a willingness to engage in a more precise and concrete debate, or responsiveness on concrete examples.
For any future work on this sensitive issue, in particular the stocktaking, the United States would insist that any report be agreed by consensus of the Members, and not in the form of a Chair's note.
The delegation of Japan requested that the statement that his delegation had made at the last informal meeting be reflected in the report of this meeting.
As stated in paragraph 29 of the Report, basic issues regarding the raison d'être of an ESM remained, such as: for what situations a safeguard was needed; when would it be needed; who should be protected; against what, etc.
On paragraph 26, she noted that many safeguard-type provisions in bilateral trade agreements referred, for instance, to balance-of-payments and infant industry problems and, hence, were not of the same nature as the GATT Article XIX safeguard provision.
three different outcomes were possible in this negotiation: (i) should the WPGR be able to identify situations justifying an ESM and demonstrate the feasibility and desirability of an ESM to deal with them, the result could be an ESM agreement; (ii) should the WPGR have identified such situations, but failed to prove feasibility and desirability of an ESM, the result could be making Article X:2 permanent; and, (iii) should the WPGR be unable to identify such situations, this would suggest that there was no need for an ESM.
Switzerland had agreed with the Chair's Report that the discussion on emergency safeguard measures had not brought about convergence and that views remained very different.
but also taking into account suggestions by the outgoing Chair in his Report, he invited Members to continue their examination of concrete examples of situations where safeguard action might be needed, and of the form such action could take.
First, the identification, in case they existed, of concrete examples of emergency situations in the services area that were not already addressed by GATS provisions.
The representative of Chile said that both the EC paper and the Shangri La example provided by ASEAN at a previous meeting could be useful means to overcome the current "stalemate" situation described by the outgoing Chair.
Her delegation hoped the Working Party would be able to find elements of common understanding on the concept of "emergency" and noted that this question had been raised in the informal contribution by Chile, Costa Rica and Switzerland.
The representative of Uruguay drew attention to the Note by the Secretariat in JOB(03)/20, containing a compilation of references made by delegations to safeguard type measures, which could provide possible examples.
Those delegations which had notified such provisions should explain how these would be applied, based on the elements contained in the overview of the Synopsis (situation justifying an ESM, like services, domestic industry and acquired rights, compensation, etc.
These negotiations were not heading towards a conclusion because Members were discussing the same issues time and again: characteristics of an ESM,
The representative of Argentina said that, instead of focusing on positive listing and flexibility provided for by the GATS, Members should consider to what extent the existence of an ESM would facilitate the undertaking of specific commitments.
The representative of Uruguay noted that, while the EC delegation considered that certain provisions in bilateral agreements were not "emergency" safeguard provisions, it had not questioned that these were "safeguard" provisions.
The representative of New Zealand took note of the suggestion to circulate the matrix that her delegation had presented informally at a previous meeting in a more formal way.
The measure referred to as "emergency safeguard measures" in the Japanese Schedule, under Road Transport Services, subsector of Freight Transport Services, aimed at ensuring a stable supply of services in exceptional situations where over-capacity in a clearly delimited area disturbed the normal operation or continuation of the business in question; the measures would allow to prevent,
they did not make any distinction between foreign and domestic suppliers and only in exceptional circumstances, as defined in detail in relevant rules and regulations, which ensured transparent application.
Many questions had already been discussed, as mentioned by the delegation of the Philippines, but had not received an adequate answer.
It was modelled on the safeguard mechanism in goods, rather than the agriculture's special safeguard or the safeguard in textiles because ASEAN felt that the majority of the membership preferred such an investigation-type mechanism.
Taking into account other views, ASEAN had come up with a middle ground solution and proposed a de facto use of two definitions of "domestic industry" – one for establishing injury and one for the application of the measure (ADA Articles I and II).
injury caused by foreign suppliers would be a basis for safeguard action, but foreign companies might or might not be affected by the measure which protected acquired rights.
He enquired how Japan had solved the question of feasibility when it had scheduled an emergency safeguard, irrespective of whether it was an Article X type provision,
He asked whether this could be considered a safeguard measure under mode 3 and, if so, whether the United States had solved the question of feasibility when scheduling this measure and, in particular, how it would be implemented it.
It was true that this was the only rule-making area out of the four under the GATS in which the question of desirability and feasibility had arisen in such a focused manner.
In this respect, her delegation shared the view of ASEAN that Members might need to convince their domestic industries to support the further opening of their markets, reminding their industries that emergency actions might be employed whenever injury or threat of injury occurred.
She encouraged delegations to read the ASEAN draft agreement again and hoped that those delegations which had been asked questions regarding safeguard-type provisions in schedules or bilateral agreements would reply.
At that meeting, it had been decided that, before undertaking this compilation, the Secretariat would check whether relevant information was already available in the Working Group on Transparency in Government Procurement (WGTGP) and would report to the Working Party on GATS Rules.
With respect to information on relevant activities of the Working Group on Transparency in Government Procurement, he intended to consult informally with Ambassador Saborío Soto, the Chairperson of that Group, to see what kind of contribution could be made to this Working Party.
"None" would indicate that foreign suppliers were allowed to bid and would be treated like nationals; limitations could be listed, concerning entities covered, thresholds, national treatment (other than those in Article XVII column).
although the report on government procurement would be submitted on the Chair's responsibility, Members should be given the opportunity to comment.
The representative of Hong Kong, China recommended, with respect to the scope of the discussion, that the EC proposal could be discussed on the understanding that it would be without prejudice to delegations' position on the scope of the mandate.
The representative of Chinese Taipei enquired whether the framework just presented by the EC differed greatly from the previous EC contribution in S/WPGR/W/39.
She enquired how parallel market access negotiations on government procurement would be conducted under the GATS and the Agreement on Government Procurement.
in relation to both goods and services, to be dealt with in the WGTGP and looked forward to Ministers giving a mandate to negotiate an Agreement on Transparency in Government Procurement.
The EC proposal, which was based on total flexibility, could benefit all Members, especially developing countries and his delegation was ready to listen to suggestions on how to improve it.
The new column proposed by the EC would contain commitments under the GATS for opening possibilities to bid for government procurement, but would not exempt Members from complying with Articles XVI and XVII or the commitments under the GPA.
Other Business
The Chairperson said that, due to lack of time, it was not possible to have a first informal exchange of views on the sentence, contained in the three work programmes (S/WPGR/7), calling on the Working Party "
to prepare for the opportunity provided by the Fifth Ministerial Conference to take stock of progress made in the negotiations".

7 December 2001 (01-6241) Working Party on GATS Rules
Note by the Secretariat
The Working Party on GATS Rules held its thirty-fifth meeting under the chairmanship of Mr.
It consisted of five items: negotiations on safeguards under GATS Article X; negotiations on subsidies under GATS Article XV; negotiations on government procurement under GATS Article XIII; date of the next meeting; and other business.
However, in view of the difficulty of implementing and withdrawing compensation, a short period of time should be determined during which no compensation was required.
In fact, the link between an ESM and increased liberalization worked the other way round: Members would feel comfortable having an ESM before making additional specific commitments.
Mexico's reading of the US contribution was that an ESM would be less undesirable if it were scheduled, but not that it was desirable per se.
It might then be better to develop a horizontal mechanism and let Members decide – if and when a safeguard action took place – whether such action was justified given the circumstances, without predefining in great detail what was justifiable, what were the right circumstances, etc.
He informed that, on 19 and 20 November, he had held informal consultations, which had allowed him to hear some thirty delegations on this issue, including on the question of whether or not work should start on a draft text.
On 23 November, he had made two suggestions that delegations could take into account in the preparation of future meetings: (i) with respect to the different elements contained in the Synopsis, delegations might want to examine where, in their views, there was possible common ground and where positions differed; (ii) delegations might also want to consider which elements might be common to both an horizontal and a scheduled safeguard.
At the very least, the Working Group should start examining areas of common ground, which would facilitate a platform for subsequent drafting.
negotiations on subsidies under article xv of the gats
The Chairperson said that, in the absence of new contributions, delegations were invited to address the issue of subsidies on the basis of the Chairperson's Checklist contained in Job No.
Members, especially those who had raised subsidy-related issues in their sectoral proposals, should share their experience in this field.
negotiations on government procurement under article xiii of the gats
The Chairperson proposed that delegations should continue their general exchange of views on any aspect of government procurement of services.

The Buccaneers released their first official depth chart on Tuesday and the only major news was that veteran running back LeGarrette Blount was still starting ahead of rookie Doug Martin, who was a 2012 first-round draft pick. To view the official depth chart, click this Pewter Report article.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released their first official depth chart on Tuesday in advance of the team's 2012 preseason opener at Miami on Friday night. There were no real surprises on the depth chart, but the one training camp battle that may be the most competitive and interesting is the starting running back spot, which shows veteran LeGarrette Blount ahead of rookie Doug Martin, who is one of the team's two first-round draft picks.
Other notables include former starting safety Cody Grimm still listed as a third-teamer, Mossis Madu still running third team ahead of 2012 seventh-round pick Michael Smith, and Preston Parker running ahead of Sammie Stroughter as the Bucs' punt and kick returner.
Injured Buccaneers wide receiver Arrelious Benn (knee) and cornerback E.J. Biggers (foot) haven't lost their place on the depth chart as Benn is running second team behind Vincent Jackson and ahead of training camp star Tiquan Underwood, and Biggers is listed ahead of Myron Lewis behind Aqib Talib at left cornerback.

Absolutely correct macabee. It's merely the first depth chart of a long training camp before final cut downs. Injuries, trades and Practice Squad considerations will have a big effect.

Can't believe Biggers is still on the team. If they need Biggers we are in big trouble at CB.

We gotta have Penn to run the ball and protect Freeman. We need Talib to make that secondary solid. They gotta get these guys taped up and on the field. Benn must be hurt worse than they are saying since he is not in practice only a few days before our first preseason game. This Team has some real talent this year but it won't make a bit of difference if we cannot get our best 53 on the field. At least it sounds like McCoy and Clayborn are going to be gamers this year. I cannot wait until Friday. This is when you get to see the future super stars and the Future Bartenders.

I wouldn't read too much into this depth chart because Schiano said the NFL forced him to put it out! Meaning there is some truth here and there is some smoke. Example: Mike Ingersoll behind Carl Nicks - The Bucs cut Ingersoll after OTAs and he was picked up by the Pats who cut him 2 weeks later - then picked up by the Bucs again. No way is Ingersoll ahead of Desmond Wynn, but what better way for Schiano to get the most from one of his hand-picked guys during preseason. And why wouldn't Sciano want to motivate Doug Martin during preseason than to have him feel entitled because of his draft position. The depth chart of Sept 3rd is the one that counts!

I swear I saw something a while back saying Danny noble was released but he is listed last on the TE position, was he resigned? Or is this an error?
August 7, 2012
11:56 am
Danny Noble is indeed still there. Matter of fact, he worked after practice with Luke Stocker.
August 7, 2012
10:17 am
No surprises here and that's why I have concerns. The only new first teamers are Barron and David. The DL looks kind of weak. Does anybody have a projection when Penn will be in pads and how many weeks after that will he be ready to protect Josh and open up the holes for our RB?
August 7, 2012

I've been out of town the past few days so forgive me if this has already been discussed among the posters but I'm not too crazy about the idea of Parker as our main kick and punt returner. Maybe the Jacksonville game last year is still stinging me. It could also be that I can't think of any explosive kick returns he has ever done. I like Parker as a slot receiver, but I think Stroughter is better at returning kicks and punts. I also can't wait to see what Michael Smith can do in a live game as a returner.
August 7, 2012
9:25 am
Not too many surprises. It seems veterans were given the nod ahead of rookies (ex Madu over Smith). I was a little surprised to see Hughes ahead of Johnson on the FB depth chart, and Dunsmore as the #5 TE. Dunsmore might not make the team this year.

Research published in the academic journal Mammal Review has uncovered the missing link in the depleting population of the vaquita. With a body less than 1.5 m long, the vaquita is the smallest living cetacean (the order Cetacea consists of whales, dolphins and porpoises). It also has one of the smallest ranges (c. 2235 km2) and one of the smallest populations (< 600 individuals based on a 1997 survey). This little porpoise is one of the two most critically endangered small cetaceans in the world, suggesting that its chances of survival are small, just like its population size and area of distribution. So, what actions have been and are being taken to prevent the vaquitas extinction and promote its recovery" In a recent paper published in Mammal Review, the authors from Mexico and Canada reviewed the scientific issues, described previous and ongoing conservation efforts, and identified remaining obstacles, established priorities, and provided recommendations.
The vaquita is endemic to the north-western corner of the Gulf of California (north of 3045'N and mainly west of 11420'W), an area rich and diverse in marine mammals. It is somewhat surprising that the porpoises are limited to such a small area when there are no obvious physical barriers to prevent them from moving into the rest of the Gulf. However, there is no evidence that the vaquitas overall range has changed in historic times. Acoustic surveys suggest that vaquitas are not only limited to the north-western Gulf all the year-round, but also that their current distribution is more restricted than previously thought confined to a small area off the eastern coast of the Baja California Peninsula.
What is driving the vaquita towards extinction" It is not, as is so often the case, degradation of its habitat. A risk factor analysis discounted pollution or the drastic reduction of freshwater flow from the Colorado River as primary culprits. It is also not a genetic problem. Genetic analyses
