...plan calls for adding a third set of locks, wide enough to serve the supersize, post-Panamax vessels--those carrying more than 5,000 20-ft.-long containers--that many consider the future of commercial-cargo shipping. The canal's Old World competitor, Egypt's Suez Canal, can already accommodate the bigger vessels. A resized Panama Canal could be a boon to U.S. ports on the Gulf and East coasts, which currently handle post-Panamax cargo directly to and from Asia only via the lengthier Suez route. Says Gary LaGrange, CEO of the Port of New Orleans: "This will...
...than being black or being Native American, a blanket affirmative action policy for gay students would oversimplify a complex issue highly dependent upon individual circumstance.This page has a history of supporting diversity. We firmly believe that cultivating a multi-racial, multi-faith, generally inclusive student body from a wide range of geographic and socioeconomic backgrounds benefits a university’s community.

Japan has already instituted tough measures curbing trade and travel, and Washington and Tokyo pushed for the Security Council to pass a resolution under Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter, which allows for decisions to be backed by the threat or use of force in response to threats to global security...
...anti-UC sentiment seems to have hardly dampened, and many students have already called for the UC fee to be partially refunded. For some, it is a matter of deception: the 2004 fee hike was presented as a way to fund more student groups and more campus-wide events organized by the CLC. With CLC dissolved, they argue that the UC neither needs nor has a right to the money. For others, any UC fee is absurd: students should choose themselves which student groups receive their $75 and leave SAC to haggle with Dean of the College Benedict H. Gross...
