The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will seek comment on a rule that would require swap dealers advising pension funds, endowments and municipalities to place the interests of such investors above their own.
SEC commissioners voted 5-0 today to propose a rule that would impose the fiduciary duty as part of business-conduct practices for swap dealers advising so-called special entities. Dealers would also have to "reasonably believe" the investors have an independent representative capable of evaluating risks, according to an SEC fact sheet released in Washington.
The Dodd-Frank Act called on regulators including the SEC, which oversees security-based swaps, to crack down on abuses in sales to states, cities and school districts after swaps pushed Jefferson County, Alabama, to the brink of bankruptcy. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which oversees swaps tied to interest rates, has already proposed a similar rule.
"The rules we are proposing today would level the playing field in the security-based swap market by bringing needed transparency to this market and by seeking to ensure that customers in these transactions are treated fairly," SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said in a statement.
The SEC will seek public comment through Aug. 29 on the rule, which would also require dealers to provide counterparties with material information about swaps, including risks and conflicts of interest. Dealers would have to provide information on daily valuations and determine whether recommendations to clients meet suitability standards.
Dealers would also be required to verify whether a client is a special entity, and to comply with so-called pay-to-play rules that restrict campaign contributions to politicians who hold the power to award contracts, according to the fact sheet. Special entities generally include federal agencies, states, employee benefit plans and endowments, the SEC said.

Supplies: Length of ribbon, decoupage glue, glue brush, polystyrene sphere, decoupage paper, one pin
Cost: €2
Time: 5 mins
Difficulty Rating: Very easy
- Cut a four inch length of ribbon and pin it as a loop into the top of your bauble to-be. Your decoupage paper will cover the ends of the ribbon.
- Tear your sheet of decoupage paper into strips, don't use a scissors to cut it as the rough edges will glue better together than clean edges. Remember - you can use any print paper you want as the bauble shape itself says Christmas so experiment with different designs and colours.
- Place your bauble on top of a glass and brush glue onto one hemisphere and then start sticking on your strips of paper until all the areas are covers - avoid creases by brushing over the paper and feel free to overlap the strips. Turn the bauble around and repeat for the other hemisphere.
- Finally paint a layer of glue over all the paper to get a sealed and even finish.
- Leave your bauble to dry and start hanging onto your tree.

With very limited options at their disposal, it's anyone's guess where the Argos turned to on offence during a recent stretch of anemic football.
On Friday, the offence was far too conservative for far too long a period, taking shots at critical times when opportunities were presented, but execution was lacking.
In back-to-back losses, the Argos have now accounted for one touchdown and eight field goals with Ricky Ray as their quarterback.
He has had to run for his life in both defeats when no solid running game could be established.
When he did get protection and tried to expose a breakdown in the back end, Ray's receivers couldn't make plays in Ottawa as the Redblacks manufactured the franchise's first win, an 18-17 victory that was hard on the eyes, but it would end in dramatic fashion.
In the aftermath, head coach Scott Milanovich was livid, his body language emitting bitter disappointment and frustration.

Above is a photo taken on a recent early morning of the Staten Island Ferry Terminal Greenmarket - the twice weekly (Tuesdays and Fridays from 8am to 7pm) farmers market inside the Staten Island Ferry building. The market is located all the way downtown at 4 South Street Ferry, where commuters on their way to work or tourists on their way to a free Staten Island Ferry ride past the Statue of Liberty can pick up fresh fruit, live plants, veggies, and maple syrup from the local farms of Wilklow Orchards and Remsburger Maple Farm.
The farmers market also presents cooking demos, seasonal celebrations, and "family friendly activities," but this Saturday will be a very different vibe at this location as thousands of punk rock fans will throng through the open terminal space on their way to the Punk Island festival on Staten Island's Pier 1 where over 90 punk bands will perform on several outdoor stages from 10am til 10pm. That's just one of the many wonderful events happening in New York City in the week ahead and previewed here in the latest (#36) installment of the weekly New York State of Mind Amoeblog.
The annual Punk Island festival normally takes place on Governors Island but was moved a few miles away over to Staten Island's Pier 1 this year due to construction. Punk Island is a presentation of ABC No Rio's HC/Punk Collective and is an offshoot of the Make Music New York fest (more on that in a bit). This year has some great bands lined up for the day-long outdoor festival that is a wonderful and affordable (free) alternative to the annual Warped Tour. Band line-up for Saturday includes Blackout Shoppers, Antidote, The FUs, Meek Is Murder, Weird And Pissed Off, Warsaw Sage, Barroom Heroes, and OC 45 who play the Underground Riot stage (one of the festival's seven stages) at 2:45pm. For full Punk Island schedule and band list click here and if you go bring water and sunscreen. All ages. No cover.
Also happening this Saturday by the waterside in Coney Island is the fun, small, popular annual artists' Coney Island Mermaid Parade, which looked doomed to extinction due to lack of funding. Luckily, at the last minute this 30-year strong local grassroots institution was saved by a Kickstarter campaign that raised the $100,000 needed to keep the festivities alive and running for another year, which is important because it's a really unique event of individual voices in the increasingly bland, corporate landscape that New York City has become since the Mermaid Parade began back in 1983. Organizers say that The Mermaid Parade is the largest art parade in the nation and describe it as, "a celebration of ancient mythology and honky-tonk rituals of the seaside, it showcases over 1,500 creative individuals from all over the five boroughs and beyond, opening the summer with incredible art, entrepreneurial spirit and community pride." It is well worth attending if you can make it and a good opportunity to check out Coney Island and its famous boardwalk. The Parade starts at 1pm on Saturday (no cover) at West 21st Street and Surf Avenue in Coney Island (not far from the main subway stop) and disbands at the end at Steeplechase Plaza. For parade route, participant lists, and how you can get involved get info here.
But the really BIG event in NYC this week - out of an already event packed week - is the annual mega scale, city wide, one day, outdoor Make Music New York (MMNY) festival which happens from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday, June 21st - aka the longest day of the year - when New York City parks, streets, sidewalks, stoops, plazas, and other sundry open spaces (including some cemeteries) become music stages for a 1,000-plus free outdoor concerts of all types of music and across all five boroughs. Although it happens the following day the aforementioned Punk Island technically comes under the umbrella of the MMNY event. So does Friday at 5pm's Lake Music In Central Park performance which will entail 144 singers in a series of rowboats out on Central Park Lake (77th Street & Central Park West) singing R. Murray Schafer's choral work Credo as horn instruments accompany them from the shore. You gotta love it! Like so much of the outdoor events across NYC this summer MMNY is also a free event. Since there are way to many concert details to attempt to list here or to even attempt to attend them all - my advice is study the concerts and venues and plan your day ahead of time. Check that MMNY information here that includes both iPhone and Android apps to help navigate the busy music-packed day.
Of the many other concerts and events happening in the week ahead round NYC there's the extended BAMcineamaFest which runs from today through June 30th. More information here. Then tomorrow, Thursday June 20th the Kings of The Mic Tour (Z-Trip, Public Enemy, LL Cool J, Ice Cube, and De La Soul), which already played the Bay Area and Santa Barbara and several other US cities, comes East to the Big Apple for what should be an amazing golden era hip-hop themed show at the midtown located venue, the Roseland Ballroom. Tickets and more info here. Also on the hip-hop tip tomorrow in New York City - but free and outdoors and earlier in the day - is this week's installment in the 2013 Tools of War True School NYC Summer Park Jams series (now ten years strong) when, at White Park in Spanish Harlem, there will be DJs rocking for the B-Boys, B-Girls, Poppers, Lockers, Rockers and Party Dancers. Tomorrow is a special Rock Dancer's Reunion feat. DJs PopMaster Fabel, Tony Touch, Haywire, and Bobby Morales. All ages. No cover. From 3pm to 7pm. White Park is located at E. 105th St. between Lex & 3rd Ave. East Harlem. Take the 6 train to 103rd St. and walk a few blocks. Also tomorrow outdoors and free but over in Brooklyn is soul/rNb double bill of Jon B. and Hi-Five at Betsy Head Park at 7pm. More info here.

According to official statistics from health officials in the Spanish region of Asturias, one in ten teenage girls has had an abortion during the last year. The figures represent the highest number of abortions during the last 18 years and confirm that the distribution of the morning-after pill has not resolved the problem.
Asturias has become the Spanish region with the seventh highest number of teen abortions. According to the Spanish daily "La Nueva España," of the 57,000 women in Asturias between the ages of 15 and 24, 744 underwent abortions in 2005.
The newspaper reports that last year some 10,638 morning-after pills were distributed in Asturias, but that did not "stop abortions among Asturian teens. In 2006, the number of abortions among this group of the populace surged and came within one tenth of those that were performed in 2004, when the record for the number of teen abortions in Asturias since the end of the 1980s was broken."
Amelia Gonzalez, general director of Public Health in Asturias, the data shows that "something is failing in the formation of our teens in the sexual-emotional area."

BESIEGED coach Neil Henry is fighting to save his job after the Cowboys crashed to their fifth consecutive loss against a resurgent Canterbury in Townsville last night.
The Bulldogs produced a stirring fightback to prevail 36-26, scoring four second-half tries to post 24 unanswered points and overturn a 20-12 deficit after 54 minutes.
Last year's grand finalists are now in the top eight after three successive wins, but the post-match spotlight was squarely on Henry after the Cowboys' latest capitulation.
With injured duo Johnathan Thurston (groin) and Matt Bowen (knee) sidelined, the Cowboys battled bravely, but imploded in the final quarter as NSW rookie Josh Reynolds inspired a Bulldogs revival.
A fortnight ago, a Sydney report claimed Henry had two weeks to prove his worth.
Cowboys officialdom have denied the rumours, but North Queensland have since lost both games and are now equal last with a 4-9 win-loss record.
Sacking Henry mid-season would be a brave call, but his position is becoming untenable with every loss. The Cowboys, who were considered title contenders in pre-season, are now fighting to avoid the spoon.
Asked if he was feeling the heat, pragmatic Henry said: "What can you do? I deflect it and move on.
"We are all in the same boat, we have high expectations and the team is not achieving those at the moment. The accountability ultimately rests with the head coach and I take the responsibility there and we move on.
"It's part of the territory.
"We are under-performing. We are hurting.
"We are disappointed, but it doesn't mean we train any less hard or don't prepare.
"I can't let that be a distraction to my work."
Asked if he was comforted by pre-game assurances from Cowboys boss Peter Jourdain that Henry was not in the firing line, the coach was unequivocal.
"The board has been on the record, Peter Jourdain has said that already. I feel as comfortable as I take his word," he said with a wry grin.
Missing Thurston, who together with fiancee Samantha was yesterday celebrating the birth of the couple's daughter, the Cowboys were left to rue a nightmare final quarter.
With scores locked at 12-all at halftime, a 42nd minute try to fullback Clint Greenshields propelled the home side to a handy 20-12 lead.
But the Bulldogs powered home with tries to Mitch Brown (54th minute), Tony Williams (65th), Greg Eastwood (72nd) and Trent Hodkinson (76th) breaking the Cowboys' hearts.
To compound their plight, Thurston's replacement, Michael Morgan, left the field in the second half with a shoulder injury.
Cowboys co-captain Matt Scott said the players, not Henry, were at fault for the side's incomprehensible slide into the NRL cellar.
"There has to be a certain amount of accountability," he said.
"It comes back to the players, that comes back to me as captain, it is a club focus. The nature of the beast is the head coach does cop the pressure externally, but at the moment you can't blame Neil for
what happened out there.
"It's going to be tough to make the finals.
We are putting ourselves in a position to win games ... but we just need to find that extra five per cent."
The Cowboys face a quick turnaround with their next assignment against the Dragons in Wollongong on Friday night.
BULLDOGS 36 (B Barba 2 M Brown G Eastwood T Hodkinson T Williams tries T Hodkinson 6 goals) NORTH QUEENSLAND 26 (C Greenshields D Johnson R Lui B Tate tries R Lui 5 goals) at 1300SMILES Stadium. Referees: Matt Cecchin, Adam Gee. Crowd: 12,775

Album Rating: 4.5Everybody now, Oh Oh Oh OH Ooooooh.

Album Rating: 3.5@At Kir. Yeah that cover story was pretty crazy.
I'm enjoying what I hearing from this. "I'll be alright" is probably the track I dig the most from my first listen. Also you can stream it on NPR: http://www.npr.org/2012/07/15/156545328/first-listen-passion-pit-gossamer
Love everything I've heard from this
I was a little embarrassed to enjoy Manners but this is awesome- some tracks like "On My Way" REALLY suck but most of its solid then there's sugary standouts like "Carried Away" that are awwwwesome.
Album Rating: 4.5I seriously like this more and more each time I listen to it.
Album Rating: 3.0Haven't listened to this entire thing yet, but what I heard got me really amped for this albums release

Sad to see all of the hate for Manners =[
Album Rating: 4.5
I think "Mirrored Sea" is my current favourite
really? that didn't stand out to me
my favorites are "Carried Away" and "Cry Like A Ghost"
Album Rating: 4.5Yeah idk, the whole first half of the album is amazing and then "On My Way" kinda bums the feeling out a bit. It gets better again towards the end though so it's cool.
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffThe chorus in "Mirrored Sea" is so ridiculously infectious and I love the synth.
Will probably listen to this at some point.
i wanna slightly autotune this whole album-the melodies are great, but i can't deal with the fact that angelakos is always slightly off key.
Album Rating: 4.0thanks all
constant conversations is probably my favorite, then cry like a ghost, love is greed, take a walk
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffLove is Greed is amazing.
