On May 1, 2012, President Obama issued Executive Order 13608 – Prohibiting Certain Transactions and Suspending Entry into the United States of Foreign Sanctions Evaders with Respect to Iran and Syria (Foreign Sanctions Evaders E.O. or Order). This Order authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to prohibit a broad array of transactions involving foreign persons (foreign sanctions evaders) who have contravened existing US sanctions against Iran and Syria, or have "facilitated deceptive transactions" with respect to such sanctions.
The Foreign Sanctions Evaders E.O. cites a series of prior executive orders to make clear that the new measures in the Order are meant to address foreign parties that attempt to evade US economic sanctions against Iran and Syria. As further explained in the related fact sheet, the US Government views such activities of foreign parties as undermining important national security and foreign policy efforts to address the Iranian and Syrian governments' weapons proliferation, human rights abuses, and support for terrorism.
Under the Foreign Sanctions Evaders E.O., the Treasury Department has authority to identify such evaders and prohibit US persons from conducting business with them, effectively excluding them from the US economic system. No such persons were designated along with issuance of the Order. Issued less than ten days after Executive Order 13606, Blocking the Property and Suspending Entry into the United States of Certain Persons with Respect to Grave Human Rights Abuses by the Governments of Iran and Syria via Information Technology (the GHRAVITY E.O.), the Foreign Sanctions Evaders E.O. marks the latest step in the United States Government's efforts to impose extraterritorial prohibitions on entities that have economic relations with Iran and Syria.
Parties That Can Be Designated as Foreign Sanctions Evaders
The Order permits the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to prohibit transactions or dealings with foreign individuals or entities that: (1) have violated, attempted to violate, conspired to violate, or caused a violation of any existing Iran or Syria sanctions, and, where the conduct relates to property and interests in property "of any person subject to United States sanctions concerning Iran or Syria," any nonproliferation or anti-terrorism sanctions; (2) have facilitated "deceptive transactions" for or on behalf of any person subject to Iran or Syria sanctions; or (3) are owned or controlled by, or acting or "purporting to act" on behalf of such a person or entity.
The Order defines "deceptive transaction" as "any transaction where the identity of any person subject to United States sanctions concerning Iran or Syria is withheld or obscured from other participants in the transaction or any relevant regulatory authorities." In turn, the term "person subject to United States sanctions concerning Iran or Syria" includes (1) any person with whom transactions are restricted pursuant to the various Executive Orders relating to Iran and Syria (expressly including the Governments of Iran and Syria), and (2) persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Power Act (IEEPA) in connection with Iran's or Syria's proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or support for international terrorism.
Prohibitions Imposed on Transactions Involving Foreign Sanctions Evaders
Once foreign sanctions evaders are designated, the Order prohibits any transactions or dealings involving designated evaders that are related to goods, services, or technology located in or intended for the United States, or provided by or to any US person wherever located. "Transactions or dealings" includes exporting, reexporting, importing, selling, purchasing, transporting, swapping, brokering, approving, financing, facilitating, or guaranteeing goods, services, or technology. In essence, most commercial dealings with the designated foreign parties will be prohibited if there is a US nexus (involving US territory or a US person). The prohibitions do not involve the blocking of assets of foreign sanctions evaders.
The Order expressly prohibits donations of humanitarian articles such as food, medicine, and clothing to or for the benefit of any foreign sanctions evader. Evaders also are barred from entering the United States.
In addition, the Order prohibits US persons from engaging in transactions that involve evading, avoiding or "causing" a violation of, attempting to violate, or forming conspiracies to violate any prohibition set forth in the Order. The Order does not, however, prohibit transactions that occur within the course of official US Government business, nor does it prohibit transactions permitted by statute, regulations, or license, or undertaken pursuant to a contract, license, or permit, executed prior to the Order.
The Order is silent as to whether individuals or entities can be designated as foreign sanctions evaders for conduct that occurred before May 1, 2012.
The Foreign Sanctions Evaders E.O. provides the US government with additional leverage to prevent non-US parties from engaging in commercial activity with Iran and Syria where that activity is inconsistent with US economic sanctions, foreign policy, and national security objectives. The Order appears to be the first time the United States has implemented economic sanctions based on the concept of facilitation of "deceptive transactions."
The Order's focus on designation for "causing" a violation or facilitating a "deceptive transaction" – the latter of which includes withholding the identities from counterparties to a transaction of parties that are subject to Iranian or Syrian sanctions – suggests potentially broad applicability. The Order may be designed to discourage, for example, the practice of a non-US company ordering US goods for later distribution to Iran or Syria without informing the US supplier. Similarly, the Order could be read to permit designation of non-US entities that do not inform US parties where Iranian or Syrian entities that are subject to US sanctions may benefit from financial transactions or services. Non-US distributors with incidental or occasional business with Iranian or Syrian customers (and who may not know at the time inventory is purchased the identity of the ultimate customer) may face compliance challenges to ensure that their activities do not fall within the definition of "deceptive transactions" (such as by "withholding" or "obscuring" parties to a transaction who may not yet be known). It is not clear if the concept of a "deceptive transaction" requires an intention to withhold information for a wrongful purpose, as opposed to a normal commercial practice of not supplying information regarding end-users or suppliers (as often is the case in distribution or reseller transactions).
While programs previously implemented under IEEPA already prohibit activities that "cause" a violation, the provisions of this Order are more explicit as to the treatment of deceptive practices by foreign parties. Moreover, the US government may have more flexibility under the Order to designate a foreign party as a foreign sanctions evader than it would in pursuing civil or criminal sanctions violations through ordinary enforcement procedures and channels.
US companies already are faced with a multitude of restricted parties to screen and exclude from transaction, so from a US company compliance perspective, the additional compliance burden is relatively limited. In contrast, the Order creates significant new challenges to non-US companies' compliance efforts. While significant restrictions already apply to the provision of US goods, technology and service to Iran and Syria, under the Order, non-US companies now may have increased impetus to evaluate the existence of US goods, services and technology in their supply chains (or any other US nexus) if they conduct any business with Iran or Syria. Further, non-US companies may face additional compliance efforts to determine when they must identify to other transaction participants or relevant government authorities any parties to a transaction that are subject to US sanctions against Iran or Syria.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stock futures edged higher Wednesday, getting support from Alcoa Inc.'s results and outlook as well as strength in the dollar versus the yen.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average US:DJH3 rose 21 points to 13,288, while those for the Standard & Poor's 500 index US:SPH3 rose 1.4 points to 1,453.70.
Futures for the Nasdaq 100 index US:NDH3 gained 1.25 point to 2,715.25.
Ushering in earnings season late Tuesday, Alcoa AA, -1.63% said it swung to a fourth-quarter profit, meeting analysts' expectations, and forecast global aluminum demand to rise 7% in 2013, versus 6% in 2012. Read: Alcoa swings to profit on lower expenses
Shares of Alcoa, part of the Dow industrials, were up 2% in premarket trading. Read: Wednesday's biggest gaining and declining stocks
"The fact that Alcoa raised its outlook for the year is encouraging because it suggests demand is picking up on a global scale and that's good for global economic activity," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital. He added that a firmer dollar versus Japan's yen USDJPY, -0.03% was also supporting futures.
The dollar traded at around ¥87.48 from ¥87.09 on Tuesday. The ICE dollar index DXY, +0.34%, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six currencies, rose to 80.546 from 80.323 in late North American trading Tuesday.
Wall Street futures were wobbly, though, and Cardillo said the market is likely to stay on the defensive going into earnings season, "because there will probably be more misses than hits."
"I think the real question surrounding markets in coming weeks is: Will the Fed be forced to reassess economic activity? And I think that's a good possibility and that means further upward pressure in yields," said Cardillo.
The combination of earnings and a jump in yields will keep the market on the defensive, he said. "I'm skittish here in the sense that we're headed for a small pullback. Nothing serious, but again the pullback will offer investors a good entry point," he said. Check out: Easy Money: 13 stocks that should pay in 2013
Earnings season will kick off in earnest next week with big banks due to hand in their quarterly report cards. Another name for later is Texas Industries Inc. US:TXI, forecast to post a loss of 26 cents a share for its second quarter, according to a survey by FactSet.
Ahead of the bell, Constellation Brands STZ, +0.77% reported increased third-quarter profit, with shares of the wine producer climbing 4.7%. Read: Big earnings on Wednesday: Constellation Brands
Shares of Clearwire Corp. US:CLWR also rose in premarket trading after the wireless broadband operator got a buyout bid from Dish Network Corp. DISH, +0.76% valued at $5.15 billion.
Setting up a potential takeover battle, the unsolicited Dish Network bid topped by around 11% an offer by Sprint Nextel Corp. S, -0.74% for the half of Clearwire it doesn't already own.

Some people think that Democrats have become too statist. How could they possibly have come to that conclusion?
I guess Democrats were worried that Republicans had already gotten too much mileage out of "you didn't build that," so they helpfully offered up another tasty soundbite that Republicans will be able to use in ads for the next nine weeks.
It's shaping up to be a fine convention as Democrats let go of any pretension of not being governed by the far left of the party. Don's already highlighted one odious aspect of their platform, and Ace details some more juicy nuggets.
Small businesses employ half of all working Americans, and, over the last two decades, have created two out of three net new jobs. Democrats believe that small businesses are the engine of job growth in America. President Obama signed 18 small-business tax cuts to encourage with a tax credit to help pay for the cost of coverage. In 2014, the tax credit will grow and small businesses will be able to pool their purchasing power together to get affordable coverage.
We recognize the importance of small business to women, people of color, tribes, and rural America and will work to help nurture entrepreneurship.
It's very helpful that the Democrats emphasized the importance of small business to people of color and tribes, though they left out several other key interest groups. I really wish someone had filmed the meeting or meetings where the platform was put together. They could have captured a great debate over which special interest groups to cover in that sentence.
"It should say we recognize the importance of small business to women, people of color, recovering meth addicts, and violinists."
"That's absurd. We need to mention gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered, transmutated, and former NFL players diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome."
"I agree that we should include the transmutated, but what about urban hipsters and people who still use Myspace?"
"I think it goes without saying that Democrats recognize the importance of small businesses for people who still use Myspace, but we risk alienating space aliens."
"That's offensive! You know that we are not permitted to use that word."
"Oh. Right. Sorry. Undocumented interstellar travelers."
Break out the beer and popcorn, because this is going to be an entertaining couple of days.

Australian Rugby
Wallabies return to Sydney Football Stadium
ESPNscrum Staff
August 30, 2011

Test match rugby is set to the Sydney Football Stadium next year after the Australian Rugby Union struck 10-year deal with the venue's owners.
The long-term agreement with the Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust will kick off with the Wallabies playing host to Wales in June next year with the game forming a key part of the scheduled three-Test series.
Australia played the last of 22 Test matches at the venue in 1998 with Sydney's ANZ Stadium becoming their preferred home - a relationship cemented by the recent announcement of an agreement to play a Bledisloe Cup Test at that venue every year until at least 2021.
"There were some wonderful rugby moments at the SFS between 1989 and 1998 and we look forward to many more over the next decade," commented ARU chief John O'Neill. "The first Test played saw the Wallabies beat the British and Irish Lions in the opening game of a three match series.
"The most recent Wallabies Test played here in 1998 was also a victory, and was one of the most important occasions in Wallabies history. A victory over the All Blacks delivered the Wallabies their first clean sweep of a three-Test series against the All Blacks since 1929.
"Everyone who follows Rugby, and most people who follow sport in general, will also remember the night in 1994 when George Gregan made his famous tackle in the south-west corner of the ground as the Wallabies again downed the All Blacks to win the Bledisloe Cup."
The Sydney Cricket Ground was the Sydney home of the Wallabies until 1987 when Concord Oval was adopted for two seasons before the move to the SFS. Its Homebush-based rival, created for the 2000 Olympics, then took centre stage and while there were six Rugby World Cup matches played at the stadium in 2003, when Australia hosted the tournament, none involved the Wallabies.
There have been two Wallabies matches played at the SFS since 1998 - but neither carried Test match status. The New Zealand Maori went down to the Wallabies in 2001 and the Barbarians were also beaten in 2009.
"Now we can confirm that from next year the Wallabies will have two homes in Sydney," added O'Neill. "We are also hoping to celebrate the return of Test Rugby to the Moore Park precinct with a Fan Day and afternoon kick off to make it an occasion to savour. After all, Moore Park is where Australia made its debut on the international Rugby stage - with the national team playing against Great Britain at the SCG in 1899."

Feb. 11, 2009
BOSTON, MA - The University of Massachusetts Boston will promote Cancer awareness through the national "Pink Zone" campaign during its basketball games on February 12 and 14.
Boston athletics will promote cancer awareness in a variety of ways. Statistics and information on cancer provided by the American Cancer Society will be announced throughout the games and be made available to those attending to educate fans about the dreaded disease and the ongoing fight to end its ongoing threat.
The women's basketball team will host Suffolk University on Thursday, February 12 at 5:30 p.m. and Plymouth State University on Saturday, January 14 at 1:00 p.m. at the Clark Athletic Center on the campus of UMass Boston. The men's basketball team will also take on Plymouth State on February 14 at 3:00 p.m. as part of the "Pink Zone" event. The teams will also don pink laces on their sneakers and pink headbands from New Balance, donated by Boston Team Sports, to show support for the cause of fighting cancer. The game programs will be printed on pink paper and fans, coaches and administrators will be encouraged to wear pink attire as well. A pair of tickets to a World Champion Boston Celtics game will be raffled off at both women's games to fans who donate for breast cancer research. The proceeds will be donated by UMass Boston Athletics to breast cancer research.
The "Pink Zone" campaign originated at the NCAA level with the Women's College Basketball Association under the original name of "Think Pink". The "Pink Zone" initiative is a global, unified effort for the WBCA's nation of coaches to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond. The WBCA began "Think Pink" in 2007 as an initiative to raise breast cancer awareness in women's basketball, on campuses and in communities. In 2007, more than 120 schools unified for this effort and helped make the inaugural year of the WBCA's "Think Pink" a success and over 1,100 institutions participated last year, reaching over 830,000 fans and raised over \$930,000 for breast cancer awareness and research. The week set aside for this year's initiative is February 13-22, however many teams are participating outside of that window due to scheduling conflicts.

The current coasters in our household are dreadfully un-creative, so I've been trying to think of something fun to jazz them up.
We need new coasters + I like making stuff + I have 673875 photographs on my hard drive = homemade Polaroid coasters. Ding!
And believe it or not folks, this was my first foray into the world of Mod Podge (or as Tanner calls it, "Hodge Podge"). I'm not sure how I've gone so many crafty years without Mod Podging anything, but somehow it escaped me. No more! This fun craft I've been trying to do for a few months, and once I got started, it took a few trial-and-errors, several weeks, and many, many hours of painting-and-drying to get everything finally finished. I'm going to share my process and some tips and tricks with you that I learned along the way.
Be prepared, folks. This is an intensely long blog post. But it's also awesome. Promise. :)
{homemade polaroid coasters}
Supplies needed:
4x4 white ceramic tiles ($0.79 at Lowe's)
3.5 x 5 photos (RitzPix does prints for 6 cents on Tues/Weds)
Mod Podge (glossy or matte... or the one made for paper if you want archival)
Sponge brush (for mod podge)
Clear acrylic spray
Small felt circles (like the ones that go under furniture legs)
First you need to prepare your photos. Pick out a bunch you like for printing (you should overestimate how many you need... I printed out 20 and went through a bunch of "trial-and-error" photos before settling on my final 8).
Before printing, you're going to want to "tweak" them a little in Photoshop. For my photos, I played with the color, vignetting and contrast to make them look more "antiqued." If you know how to do this already, have fun messing around with it. If not, I'm bad at explaining the process since I just make stuff up until it looks right, but the Pioneer Woman has some great actions you can download to make the process really simple.
(Keep in mind when you're formatting your photos that they will be printed at 3.5 x 5", but you'll be trimming them smaller than that, so make sure your main subject doesn't fill up the entire photo.)
As an example, here are some before/ after shots I changed to make them look more "polaroid":
A lot of my chosen photos came from my photo shoot from the farm in Salem, but I do have some great ones of the coast and waterfalls of Oregon, too.
(UPDATE: Another easy way to get an antiqued look to your photos without using Photoshop is to use your Instagram feed! They're already square for you and you can print them off pretty cheaply at Printstagram)
Now for the diy process:
1. Once you have your photos printed and ready, you'll need to trim them down to 3.25 x 3.75", which means you're shaving off 0.25" height-wise and 1.25" width-wise.
2. Clean and dry your ceramic tile. I've also heard that "roughing up" your tile with some sandpaper helps the Mod Podge adhere better. I didn't do this, but I did have some issues with slidey photos and my Mod Podge scraping off with little effort, so it's probably a good idea.
3. Using your sponge brush, paint a thin coat of Mod Podge on the back of your photo. Carefully place the photo on your ceramic tile, leaving about 1/4" border around the top and two sides, and about 1" border at the bottom.
4. Smooth down the photo with a credit card or something similar, taking care not to let the photo slide around on the tile too much. Let dry.
5. Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge with your sponge brush over the entire tile, photo included. Make sure you're using even, straight brush strokes, since these will still be somewhat visible on the final product. The Mod Podge will look white when you paint it on, but it dries clear. Let dry for several hours.
*Tip: I know there's a lot of "let dry" after each little step going on here, but I highly recommend doing this project with a lot of patience. My first couple attempts I got impatient and tried to keep layering Mod Podge or just slapping it over a not-dry photo before it was completely dry, and it always turned out badly for me. Moral of the story: don't do this project with a deadline, and be prepared for some watch-grass-grow and watch-paint-dry style patience.
6. Repeat step 5 two or three more times until you have a good strong coat on top of your photo. Let dry between each coat.
7. When the Mod Podge is completely dry, spray the tile with a coat of your Clear Acrylic spray. This should remove the "tackiness" of the Mod Podge and make the coaster even more water resistant.
*Another tip: I got a little frustrated by how much the Mod Podge streaks showed up even after it was dry. I used glossy Mod Podge, so it may be that Matte is a little more forgiving. I also don't think Mod Podge is completely necessary. For one of my coasters I experimented with just gluing the photo down with the stuff and then spraying the whole thing with the Clear Acrylic. So far it appears to be fairly water resistant and the overall "look" is vastly improved. I don't know how well it will hold up to melting ice water over time, but that's another option.
UPDATE: I've had some great suggestions from readers about how to improve this process! If the mod podge or the acrylic spray doesn't work well for you, other ideas include: an automotive clear sealer, a two-part epoxy resin, or a diluted mod podge (or homemade mod podge tends to be thinner, too). I haven't tried these personally, but they sound like viable options to me! :)
*Another another tip: I tried to get "extra crafty" with my non-Mod Podged tile by adding a little Sharpie caption to the bottom of one of them. It looked awesome until I sprayed it, and then the Sharpie ran a little and now it looks really smudgy. You have been warned.
ANOTHER UPDATE: A few people have suggested that if you want to add a sharpie caption, try baking the tiles in the oven before adding the photo to "solidify" the sharpie and keep it from smudging.
8. Adhere felt pads to bottom corners of tile to protect your tabletops.
9. Wait 48-72 hours before placing cold liquids on your tile, to make sure the Mod Podge and the Acrylic spray has set.
Enjoy your coaster set!

Today marks the first anniversary of the passage the Kate Puzey Peace Corps Volunteer Protection Act, or "Kate's Law" as it is lovingly referred to by friends, family and supporters. We pause on this important day to honor Kate and thousands of survivors. First Response Action is grateful to so many—President Obama, members of Congress and the Senate, former Peace Corps volunteers, and numerous advocacy groups—for their support and tireless efforts. But the promise of the Kate Puzey Act is not yet a reality for every Peace Corps Volunteer—more work remains to be done.
In the next few weeks, we will issue a report assessing the Peace Corps' implementation of the Kate Puzey Act so far and identifying areas where more work and resources must be invested. The Kate Puzey Act is at its core a commitment by our nation to give our volunteers the care, support, and protection they deserve.
Our deep appreciation goes to you and everyone who has made an impact on making survivors in Peace Corps feel supported and get the care they need. The Kate Puzey Act was the result of the hardwork of many passionate, dedicated individuals coming together to create and codify positive change.

Voter Registration
Voting is the right and responsibility of all citizens. But before you vote you have to get registered.
In order to be able to vote in the November 5, 2019 General Election, you must be registered to vote by Tuesday, October 15th.
You can register to vote if you can answer YES to the following questions:
- Are you a resident of Oregon?
- Are you a US citizen?
- Are you at least 17 years old?
You should also re-register to vote if you have moved since the last time you registered
To register to vote in Oregon you can:
- Register to vote online
- Register to vote at any County Elections office, the office of the Secretary of State, or any DMV office.
- Pick up a voter registration form from the ASUCC Leadership Offices, located in the Student Center and 1) return it to the ASUCC Vice President or 2) drop your completed card in one of the six voter registration boxes (four are located throughout the Student Center; two are located in the Library Lobby); your registration card will be delivered to the County Elections office.
Other non-partisan voter registration or information sites you can visit:
- Vote 411, www.vote411.org
- Youth Vote Coalition, www.youthvote.org
- Rock the Vote, www.rockthevote.org
- The League of Women Voters, www.lwv.org
- Student PIRGs, www.studentvote.org
- Student Voting Guide from Best Colleges, www.bestcolleges.com/resources/student-voting-guide/
- First Time Voters Guide from Community for Accredited Online Schools www.accreditedschoolsonline.org/resources/students-and-first-time-voters/
Why does the College get involved in voter registration?
The 1998 re-authorization of the federal Higher Education Act includes a requirement that higher education institutions make a "good faith effort" to make mail voter registration forms available to all enrolled students. This federal legislation supports the campus' long-standing goals of engendering leadership and citizenship among the student body.
Updates to law in the HEOA: The Higher Ed Amendments of 2008 added the following text to the Voter Registration Act effective August 14, 2008.
(D) The institution shall be considered in compliance with the requirements of subparagraph (A) for each student to whom the institution electronically transmits a message containing a voter registration form acceptable for use in the State in which the institution is located, or an Internet address where such a form can be downloaded, if such information is in an electronic message devoted exclusively to voter registration.

Well, the word "holy" DID come to mind...
Ok, sure: this first communion cake is atrocious. (Is the dove molting? And why are there more choking hazards on this - something a child is supposed to eat - than in your average Lego set?)
Still, you have to admire the wreckerator's tenacity in scrawling the inscription right over the plastic flotsam. That, my friends, is commitment! No namby-pamby dashes, squished text, or downward spirals here, no sir! This baker does not deviate, does not falter! S/he trudges onward even in the face of crippling ridicule, turning a deaf ear to nay-sayers, a blind eye to the warning signs of impending disaster, a numb hand to the piping bag, a stuffed-up nose to the smell of burning batter, and an insensate tongue to the bitter dregs of defeat!!
[sits back down]
Ok, so maybe I was reaching a little with that metaphor. I thought I was doing well until the "burning batter" bit, though. [taps teeth with pen] Huh.
Still, I think we can all learn something here. Something about perseverance, something about throwing caution to the wind, something about...oh, I dunno... picking the cake up more than 30 minutes before the party starts? [nodding] Yeah, that, too.
Note: Since I get asked a lot, many of you will no doubt be relieved to learn that Wreckporter Holly later received a full refund. You'll remember that more-than-30-minutes-beforehand thing next time, right, Holly? :)

Mere days after the wide release of Quentin Tarantino's latest cinematic opus, Django Unchained, cinephile tongues are still wagging. Actor Samuel L. Jackson said it is a movie about the realities of slavery -- "it is just couched in a spaghetti western-cum-blacksploitation movie/Hong-Kong bullet ballet."
Any film which juxtaposes the vicious cruelty of transatlantic slavery with the spaghetti western genre is bound to draw attention. As writer-director Tarantino states in a recent NPR interview, "there's not this big demand for movies that deal with the darkest part of America's history, and the part that we're still paying for to this day." Yet Tarantino gave himself permission to provide a vessel for catharsis while taking some artistic liberties with historical events.
In Django Unchained, the protagonist makes the fictional journey from slavery to freedom in the Antebellum Southern United States circa 1858. As President Obama reminded us in an official statement, Tuesday marked the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation which announced the end of slavery in the USA in 1863 -- five years after the imaginary Django character gained his freedom.
Tarantino's plot draws Django to Candie-Land, a prosperous plantation which allows its owner all the luxuries money can buy, including a fetish for French culture. As Django's thirst for freedom was eventually quenched via a long, torturous and bloody journey, so was the struggle for the first freed slave state. Like the fictitious Candie-Land, Saint-Domingue was where lucrative plantations, shaped by the brutal exploitation of half a million captive African people, produced "the single richest colony in the world," France's imperial pride, and also became the cradle of abolition.
Toussaint L'Ouverture played the leading role in the real-life drama alongside and his revolutionary army of self-emancipated barefoot slaves, defeating the three great empires of the eighteenth century -- Spain, England, and France -- and finally winning independence after a decade of toil. It was on this day in 1804 that Haiti declared its independence; 30 years before Canada (then a British colony) ended the slave practice and three score before the USA followed suit. As pundits question what significant event would prompt Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to release a statement while she is hospitalized, the answer is that the Haitian Revolution remains the first and only successful slave revolution in human history.
Perhaps part of a global awakening, leaders increasingly acknowledge the wrongs which have long been ignored, denied or swept under the rug and the triumphs which their forefathers (and former U.S. Presidents) denied or suppressed. It is perhaps no coincidence that Tarantino's fantasy film gives a hat tip to Alexandre Dumas, a prolific Franco-Haitian novelist of that era.
In Tarantino's tale, Django takes the name "Freeman," subsequently living up to his moniker by freeing other human beings from their chains. Toussaint L'Ouverture also lived up to his name, opening the floodgates of freedom for the oppressed. L'Ouverture seeded an idea: that slaves could aspire to equality. That idea's roots, numerous and deep, have sprung back in the epic period piece that is Django Unchained.

Listen to this article
This month, 22 of Austria's high-flying judges and public prosecutors temporarily put aside their caps and gowns and went back to school to uncover the best way to fight white-collar crime.
They were part of a programme designed by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Justice with Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU), partly to give the judges and prosecutors a greater insight into corruption but also to speed up the trial process. "The ministry said they would like to fight corruption in Austria with education," says Astrid Kleinhanns-Rollé, managing director of the WU Executive Academy.
The programme, which covers everything from financial risk and corporate reporting to compliance and insolvency, is just one example of how the previously distinct boundaries between the disciplines of law and business are blurring. Business schools and law schools alike now understand they have to deal with the convergence.
The top law schools have been facing this issue for years, says Michael Fitts, dean of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, which runs joint certificate and degree courses with its neighbouring business school, Wharton. But the rate of change has accelerated. "It's gone into hyper-speed now."
He lists three reasons. First, many of the law firms' clients are corporations; second, that legal services firms need to be better managed; and third, the abilities of lawyers and managers are complementary. While lawyers scrutinise the detail and understand regulation, managers look at the bigger picture and at the risk, he says.
In a similar way to the University of Pennsylvania, the School of Law and the Stern School of Business at New York University have been teaching joint programmes for many years, but in September they took a further step by appointing Karen Brenner to the new role of executive director of law and business, to act as a bridge between the two schools.
Like Prof Fitts, she believes that the globalisation of both business and the practice of law has been instrumental in accelerating the convergence. "The reality of the global marketplace is its ability to bring people together," she says.
The alliances between different institutions, which have been common practice in business education for decades, are now increasingly common between business schools and law schools, says Bhaskar Chakravorti, senior associate dean for international business and finance at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University close to Boston.
"No single professional school feels it has the breadth, the depth and the range of disciplines as well as the range of geographies," he says. The move towards international relationships and the potential rebalancing of economic power between countries in the northern and southern hemispheres needs to be addressed, he says. "It's about the challenges of dealing with different societies, with domestic and international legal systems."
The Fletcher school already teaches its flagship masters in law and diplomacy as a joint MALD/MBA programme with four business schools: Ceibs in China, HEC Paris in France, IE in Spain and Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business in the US. He refers to students on these programmes as "360-degree people".
Prof Chakravorti says: "These are students who see themselves as leading an international life. They are deeply committed to using business and private sector principles but they definitely understand the importance of understanding legal principles."
Prof Fitts at Penn Law sees a similar scenario: "A good percentage [of the business and law graduates] will spend time practising abroad at some time."
As well as joint degrees, law schools are also following the now widespread business school practice of running business plan competitions, in which students from different institutions work together to solve problems – Miami Law School, for example, runs the LawWithoutWalls project, bringing together law students with those from other disciplines. The part-virtual scheme includes law schools from universities such as Harvard and Stanford in the US, plus schools in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, India, Israel, Spain, Switzerland and the UK. This year Eversheds, the law firm, is supporting the project – lawyers there will act as mentors for the students.
However, even within a local jurisdiction, such as the UK, there is an impetus for the changes from both law students and the law firms, says Andrew Chadwick, deputy dean and chief executive of BPP Law School, in London, now part of the Apollo Group.
"There's a growing interest from students and law firms. What law firms have said is what they really need is for trainees and solicitors to be able to engage with the business community on an equal footing. It's about what makes a business tick."
Traditionally, commercial law has been about setting up companies but not how to make business decisions, he says. "Now what the solicitors need to be are trusted advisers. They don't just need to know about the law."
BPP's law school works with BPP business school and is now running a masters-level degree for law firms that combines business knowhow with legal regulation. This will soon be available on the open market, says Mr Chadwick.
"We think it will make the trainee much more savvy about business."
Back in Vienna, Ms Kleinhanns-Rollé reports that the Austrian Ministry of Justice programme is already proving particularly popular. The plan was to enrol a second group of students for the part-time degree in two years, once the first group had graduated. But just a few weeks into the first programme there is already talk of bringing that date forward.

1 Chronicles 10-12 New International Version (NIV)
Saul Takes His Life
10 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; the Israelites fled before them, and many fell dead on Mount Gilboa. 2 The Philistines were in hot pursuit of Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab and Malki-Shua. 3 The fighting grew fierce around Saul, and when the archers overtook him, they wounded him.
4 Saul said to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and abuse me."
But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it. 5 When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died. 6 So Saul and his three sons died, and all his house died together.
7 When all the Israelites in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their towns and fled. And the Philistines came and occupied them.
8 The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 They stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news among their idols and their people. 10 They put his armor in the temple of their gods and hung up his head in the temple of Dagon.
11 When all the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all their valiant men went and took the bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh. Then they buried their bones under the great tree in Jabesh, and they fasted seven days.
13 Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord; he did not keep the word of the Lord and even consulted a medium for guidance, 14 and did not inquire of the Lord. So the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.
David Becomes King Over Israel
11 All Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, "We are your own flesh and blood. 2 In the past, even while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns. And the Lord your God said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.'"
3 When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, he made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king over Israel, as the Lord had promised through Samuel.
David Conquers Jerusalem
4 David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). The Jebusites who lived there 5 said to David, "You will not get in here." Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion—which is the City of David.
6 David had said, "Whoever leads the attack on the Jebusites will become commander-in-chief." Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and so he received the command.
7 David then took up residence in the fortress, and so it was called the City of David. 8 He built up the city around it, from the terraces[a] to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city. 9 And David became more and more powerful, because the Lord Almighty was with him.
David's Mighty Warriors
10 These were the chiefs of David's mighty warriors—they, together with all Israel, gave his kingship strong support to extend it over the whole land, as the Lord had promised— 11 this is the list of David's mighty warriors:
Jashobeam,[b] a Hakmonite, was chief of the officers[c]; he raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed in one encounter.
12 Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three mighty warriors. 13 He was with David at Pas Dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. At a place where there was a field full of barley, the troops fled from the Philistines. 14 But they took their stand in the middle of the field. They defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the Lord brought about a great victory.
15 Three of the thirty chiefs came down to David to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a band of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim. 16 At that time David was in the stronghold, and the Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem. 17 David longed for water and said, "Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!" 18 So the Three broke through the Philistine lines, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem and carried it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the Lord. 19 "God forbid that I should do this!" he said. "Should I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of their lives?" Because they risked their lives to bring it back, David would not drink it.
Such were the exploits of the three mighty warriors.
20 Abishai the brother of Joab was chief of the Three. He raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed, and so he became as famous as the Three. 21 He was doubly honored above the Three and became their commander, even though he was not included among them.
22 Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel, performed great exploits. He struck down Moab's two mightiest warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion. 23 And he struck down an Egyptian who was five cubits[d] tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver's rod in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club. He snatched the spear from the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear. 24 Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada; he too was as famous as the three mighty warriors. 25 He was held in greater honor than any of the Thirty, but he was not included among the Three. And David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
26 The mighty warriors were:

Elhanan son of Dodo from Bethlehem,

Helez the Pelonite,
28 Ira son of Ikkesh from Tekoa,

Warriors Join David
12 These were the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the warriors who helped him in battle; 2 they were armed with bows and were able to shoot arrows or to sling stones right-handed or left-handed; they were relatives of Saul from the tribe of Benjamin):
3 Ahiezer their chief and Joash the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berakah, Jehu the Anathothite, 4 and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty warrior among the Thirty, who was a leader of the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad the Gederathite,[e] 5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah and Shephatiah the Haruphite; 6 Elkanah, Ishiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam the Korahites; 7 and Joelah and Zebadiah the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.
8 Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the wilderness. They were brave warriors, ready for battle and able to handle the shield and spear. Their faces were the faces of lions, and they were as swift as gazelles in the mountains.
9 Ezer was the chief,
Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 Jeremiah the tenth and Makbannai the eleventh.
14 These Gadites were army commanders; the least was a match for a hundred, and the greatest for a thousand. 15 It was they who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks, and they put to flight everyone living in the valleys, to the east and to the west.
16 Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold. 17 David went out to meet them and said to them, "If you have come to me in peace to help me, I am ready for you to join me. But if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free from violence, may the God of our ancestors see it and judge you."
18 Then the Spirit came on Amasai, chief of the Thirty, and he said:
"We are yours, David!
So David received them and made them leaders of his raiding bands.
19 Some of the tribe of Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (He and his men did not help the Philistines because, after consultation, their rulers sent him away. They said, "It will cost us our heads if he deserts to his master Saul.") 20 When David went to Ziklag, these were the men of Manasseh who defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu and Zillethai, leaders of units of a thousand in Manasseh. 21 They helped David against raiding bands, for all of them were brave warriors, and they were commanders in his army. 22 Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army, like the army of God.[f]
Others Join David at Hebron
23 These are the numbers of the men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul's kingdom over to him, as the Lord had said:
24 from Judah, carrying shield and spear—6,800 armed for battle;
25 from Simeon, warriors ready for battle—7,100;
26 from Levi—4,600, 27 including Jehoiada, leader of the family of Aaron, with 3,700 men, 28 and Zadok, a brave young warrior, with 22 officers from his family;
29 from Benjamin, Saul's tribe—3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to Saul's house until then;
30 from Ephraim, brave warriors, famous in their own clans—20,800;
31 from half the tribe of Manasseh, designated by name to come and make David king—18,000;
32 from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do—200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command;
33 from Zebulun, experienced soldiers prepared for battle with every type of weapon, to help David with undivided loyalty—50,000;
34 from Naphtali—1,000 officers, together with 37,000 men carrying shields and spears;
35 from Dan, ready for battle—28,600;
36 from Asher, experienced soldiers prepared for battle—40,000;
37 and from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every type of weapon—120,000.
38 All these were fighting men who volunteered to serve in the ranks. They came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel. All the rest of the Israelites were also of one mind to make David king. 39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, for their families had supplied provisions for them. 40 Also, their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules and oxen. There were plentiful supplies of flour, fig cakes, raisin cakes, wine, olive oil, cattle and sheep, for there was joy in Israel.

John 6:45-71 New International Version (NIV)
45 It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.'[a] Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. 46 No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. 47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
52 Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
53 Jesus said to them, "Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever." 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
Many Disciples Desert Jesus
60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?"
61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you? 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! 63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit[b] and life. 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. 65 He went on to say, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them."
66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
67 "You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve.
68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God."
70 Then Jesus replied, "Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!" 71 (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.)

BROCKTON, Mass. – Led by Mike Nich's 10 strikeouts the Gulls of Endicott College (14-9) handed baseball their third straight loss as they defeated the Beacons (9-11) by the final of 7-2 Wednesday evening at Campanelli Stadium.
Nich went all nine innings to improve to 2-1 on the year and scattered seven Beacons hits, all of which were singles. At the plate the Gulls used a three run top of the third and a two run seventh and ninth to secure the victory.
The Beacons would score their only two runs of the night in the first two innings, with Jose Pena (Boston, Mass.) and Charles LaPaglia (Marshfield, Mass.) each reaching home plate. Pena had another strong day for UMB's offense as he went 3-for-3, all singles, and one walk.
Junior righty Lucas Ilges (Gloucester, Mass.) was handed the loss after surrendering five runs, four earned, on eight hits through seven complete innings. He also struckout six, while reliever Tyler Kane (Wilbraham, Mass.) fanned two Gulls in the final two innings, in which he allowed two runs on the three hits.
Connor Ressel proved to be the hot bat for Endicott as the center fielder went 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored. Third baseman Taylor English also had a big day, despite going 1-for-4 English walked with three RBI, first driving in two with a single in the top of the third, and a groundout in the seventh.
Perhaps the biggest killer for the Beacons was their inability to move runners around the bases. In total the Beacons stranded eight, and had bases loaded in the first two innings, but were only able to plate one run in each.
Also making contact in the Wednesday's loss was Jamill Moquette (Boston, Mass.), Matt Consiglio (Southbury, Conn.), Todd Ezold (Westfield, Mass.), and Bryan Dupre (Chicopee, Mass.).
Baseball returns to action tomorrow when they travel to Babson College for a 3:30 p.m. non-conference game. Tomorrow's contest will mark the seventh game that the Beacons will have played in the last six days.

Todd Helton undergoes successful hip surgery
Todd Helton underwent successful surgery on his left hip labrum Friday. Obviously, no doctor is going to announce that the surgery didn't go well. But the surgery did not feature any surprises.
Helton, who will 39 on Aug. 20, elected to have the season-ending procedure done this week to give him ample time to prepare for spring training. He has one year remaining on his contract at $5 million. His plan is to return, but it depends, in part, on his recovery and where he fits going forward.
Helton's hip began bothering him in late May and early June, compromising his power. With Helton out, the Rockies have played several players at first base, including Matt McBride, Michael Cuddyer and Tyler Colvin. Cuddyer, out with an oblique injury, is progressing and could begin a rehab assignment early next week.
Rockies' lineup:

DRAM Patent Holder Rambus Called Out (Again) For Shredding Evidence
from the no-evidence-that-destroyed-evidence-was-relevant...-wait,-what? deptRambus Inc. is back in the news again as some of its questionable pre-litigation tactics have been highlighted by another company on the receiving end of a patent infringement lawsuit. Rambus Inc. sued SK Hynix and several other chip builders at the beginning of 2000, claiming to hold the rights to certain DRAM technology.
Rambus is perhaps best known for a move that took place well over a decade ago, shortly before it went into the innovation-via-litigation business.
On Friday, Whyte found that Rambus destroyed documents when it anticipated litigation. Specifically, Whyte said, Rambus employees were told to destroy documents at annual "shred days," from 1998 to 2000, prior to filing the patent suits."Annual shred days?" The fact that Rambus had not only a periodic event but a nickname for the event should probably be taken as an indication that the "company" needed to rid itself of possibly damning paperwork. It calls to mind something akin to mobsters moving suitcases of cash to their mothers' houses ahead of a RICO investigation.
Because litigation was "reasonably foreseeable," Whyte ruled, Rambus should had preserved the documents.
"Rambus engaged in spoliation of evidence when it engaged in the destruction of documents on all three shred days," the 66-page ruling states.
Now, many companies will annually shred financial documents, personnel files, etc. that have reached the expiration date of federal and state retention requirements. However, what Rambus did hardly sounds like just being tidy, despite its "engineers are messy" defense.
Rambus countered that its engineers tended to be "pack rats" and said that its policy was justified...SK Hynix had brought Rambus' "shredding days" to the attention of the disctrict court back in 2005, claiming that "Rambus had spoliated evidence and that its 'unclean hands' warranted dismissal of 15 infringement claims." This claim was dismissed and in 2011, US District Judge Ronald Whyte ordered SK Hynix to pay $397 million in royalties. On appeal, Whyte reexamined Hynix's claims and found that Rambus had indeed shredded plenty of documents, but possibly nothing relevant.
"The evidence does not show that Rambus knowingly destroyed damaging evidence," Whyte said.He also gave Rambus a bit of a post-facto warning.
"Although the evidence does not support a conclusion that Rambus deliberately shredded documents it knew to be damaging, the court concludes that Rambus nonetheless spoliated evidence in bad faith or at least willfully," he added.
Because litigation was "reasonably foreseeable," Whyte ruled, Rambus should had preserved the documents.Then there's this, in which Whyte states that the litigation might have gone differently if no documents had been shredded.
"Even if none of the destroyed documents would have shed new light on the disclosure obligation, there may have been internal Rambus documents containing information about Rambus' plans to gain market power by using information learned at [Joint Electron Device Engineering Council] JEDEC meetings. Such evidence could have been relevant and given support to Hynix's equitable claims and defenses," Whyte said.Despite all this, SK Hynix is still on the hook for royalties. The $397 million might be reduced, but any reduction would have more to do with royalties Rambus has already collected from other companies, rather than any excessive shredding or the fact that it basically reverse engineered its patents to cover new industry standards. Unfortunately for SK Hynix, the shredding that has already resulted in two Rambus infringement suits being tossed out doesn't seem to be doing much for it.
"The court concludes that Hynix has made a plausible, concrete suggestion that it may have been prejudiced by destruction of JEDEC-related documents, and that Rambus has not overcome this suggestion of prejudice by clear and convincing evidence."

Manitoba Conservation Districts
There are 18 Conservation Districts that operate throughout Manitoba, delivering watershed management projects on the landscape. They partner with landowners(farmers), towns, and villages to better the quality of freshwater as it travels along the land, ultimately into our lakes and streams.
Environment, Infrastructure, Communications, Agriculture, water management
The business, youthful, decision makers of our province.
the experts on water management, and that we are located throughout the province as a strong organization with nearly 40 years of collaboration.
we want to be a unified, identifiable brand to use consistently throughout the province. The image should capture what a watershed is or means to someone. These projects that we do(well sealing, watering systems for cattle, wetland restoration, shoreline stabilization, fencing to keep livestock out of rivers and lakes, shelterbelts, irrigation ponds) are very cost effective, take partnerships of many, and work towards improving water quality on the land.
