David Satter, Darkness at Dawn: The Rise of the Russian Criminal State (New Haven & London: Yale University Press, 2003), 314 pages, $29.95
December 15, 2003
by Sherman W Garnett
In Darkness at Dawn, veteran journalist David Satter attempts "to describe the rise of the business criminal elite and its takeover of the machinery of the Russian state, leading to the impoverishment and demoralization of the great majority of the population." In pursuing this end, Satter provides arguments and analyses very different from those proffered by most of the analysts who so often attempt to explain Russia to us or prescribe policies for Western and Russian leaders.
Satter's book contains no tables or charts, few statistics, and no models to help explain Russian politics and economics. Instead, the author offers what he calls "narrative histories and personal stories," and lots of them. In fact, the bulk of the text is a compelling series of these histories and stories, making it in the end something more akin to an old-fashioned chronicle than a work of contemporary political science. These narratives are compellingly written and impossible to ignore. They unabashedly aim to put the last decade or more of Russia's political and economic transition into human terms. They take the reader from the tragic sinking of the submarine Kursk, through portraits of the new politicians (and the oligarchs and criminals that surround them), to a series of stories that show the difficulty, if not impossibility, of achieving a normal life in Russia under current conditions.
From time to time, Satter steps back from these stories to offer his own reflections, culminating in a brief conclusion in which he attempts to explain the failures to date and outline the disasters he fears are to come. In these passages, Satter offers a moral analysis of Russian politics. "The reform process took place without benefit of higher values," he argues, "and it bequeathed to Russia a moral vacuum." According to Satter, this vacuum has been filled largely by corrupt and venal officials and criminals who prey in turn upon largely innocent and ignorant victims. In the end, Satter fears for the long-term stability of Russia and sees the way out not in a set of specific political or economic policies, but in state and societal acceptance of "universal, transcendent values."
These two strands—storytelling and moral reflection—make this an odd yet compelling book. Satter's reflections and moral prescriptions may not be everybody's cup of tea—they often are not mine—but it is difficult to come away from serious study of Russia, and indeed of much of the former USSR, without being convinced that genuine reform requires not only good laws, markets, and institutions, but also moral and social norms and behaviors. Even for those put off by Satter's blunt and bleak moralizing, the book performs an important service. His skill in portraying the impact on countless ordinary Russians of corruption, of declining health care and other crucial social infrastructure, and, yes, of deliberate political and economic reform choices, makes this necessary reading.
The opening chapter, which deals with the doomed submarine Kursk, provides an illustration of Satter's skill as a storyteller with a purpose. His account of the aftermath of the explosion aboard the sub on Saturday, August 12, 2000, weaves together the ineptness and duplicity of the Russian Navy and government and the anguish of the families and loved ones of the 118 sailors who died. The Russian Navy lacked the capacity to mount an effective rescue effort, yet it delayed calling in foreign assistance (it did not even inform President Vladimir Putin until the day after the explosion). Instead, the navy spent the bulk of the crucial hours and even days after the accident giving out false information, such as speculation that the breakdown had been caused by an underwater collision with a Western submarine. The navy even reassured the public that it was in contact with the sub and was mounting a rescue operation. It did not mention the likelihood of fatalities until Tuesday evening. It will never be known whether the full truth and an immediate request for assistance from better-equipped Britain or Norway would have saved the few sailors in the rear compartments who survived the initial explosion (notes were found on the body of one officer that showed almost two dozen were still alive for at least a few hours after the explosion). It is clear, however, that the thought of doing so never occurred to those in charge. The families, by contrast, wanted what every loved one wants in a tragedy of this sort: truth, support, and the best lifesaving efforts the government can provide. Satter is at his best in depicting the emotional rollercoaster the families experienced, from grief to courage to righteous anger, the latter boiling over in a face-to-face meeting with Putin.
Satter makes a shift in subsequent chapters to consider governmental corruption and entanglement with organized crime. He examines serious charges that the Russian government was behind terrorist bombings within Russia that had been widely attributed to Chechen terrorists, carefully sifting through evidence of an incident in Riazan that took place in April 2000. The evidence indicates that the operation was carried out by Russian intelligence, not Chechens. Satter provides largely unflattering portraits of the leading Russian reformers, especially former head of the state's privatization effort, as well as others important positions in the Russian government, Anatoly Chubais and former Prime Minister Yegor Gaydar, tracing rumors of their personal corruption and the wealth provided them by their government jobs. He also recounts the MMM scandal, in which a largely unregulated pyramid scheme bilked thousands of ordinary Russians in the mid-1990s. He also devotes chapters to an unflattering picture of economic reform failures, police corruption, and organized crime.
In short, this is a world in which those in power have little time or concern for ordinary Russians. It is one of greed and violence, of getting the largest share of the spoils, even as the working and social conditions of the bulk of the nation deteriorate to shocking levels. Satter depicts this contrast most sharply in a chapter on a hunger strike organized by teachers in Ulyanovsk in 1998. The strikers sought months of unpaid back wages and better working conditions. The strike ended with the death of one of its organizers from conditions brought about by his long fast. Even the self-inflicted death of a teacher does little to move the authorities in Ulyanovsk.
Satter also chronicles the deteriorating quality of medical care and other crucial services, including stories of hospitals facing power cut-offs in the midst of crucial operations and a father and son who were scalded to death in hot water leaking from underground pipes that city officials never bothered to examine despite numerous complaints.
Each of Satter's stories has a single moral, either stated or implied: that a normal and energetic government with any sort of concern for its citizens would have been able to prevent the worst, or at least minimized its impact. Russia, however, does not have that sort of government, despite more than a decade of political and economic reforms, free elections, and other changes widely trumpeted as creating a democratic, free-market, westernized Russia. Satter acknowledges these changes, but argues that they will never be enough unless grounded in a more thoroughgoing moral transformation.
For Satter, too many discussions of Russia's reforms ignore the underlying realities depicted in his stories. He acknowledges the emergence of free elections and better economic performance, but worries that "democracy [in Russia] is a matter of convenience, not of values." He argues that a Russia so governed (and ungoverned) faces the serious prospect of a lurch back toward dictatorship, economic collapse, and continued catastrophic demographic decline. All of Russia's troubles—and especially the prospect of even greater failures to come—have their source in a moral vacuum that prevents the emergence of good and effective government.
In the end, however, Satter's book makes a more effective case for the use of a broader system of accounting for the last twelve years of change in Russia than for its utter bankruptcy. Westerners with their eyes fixed solely on broad state policy options for Russian reform (while apparently averting their gaze from reports of high-level corruption and crime) deserve the scorn this book offers. Satter's call for a return to moral and social values is also worth heeding. His diagnosis of the moral failures of the current system is rather widely shared among some Russians and Western critics of the nation's economic and political reforms, but no one has yet figured out a way—as the Russian joke describes it—to make angels come down from heaven and carry out the needed changes. Indeed, as this same joke concludes, the truly miraculous way ahead is not for angels to do the work, but for the Russians to do it for themselves.
Even under the best of circumstances, transitions of this sort take decades. Russia needs to establish new laws, new institutions, new practices, and new moral and social codes of conduct. The nation needed a shift to private property and greater pluralism, and it was likely that under any circumstances imaginable the political, moral, economic, and other dimensions of change would be hard to coordinate and make mutually supportive. Satter's model appears to resemble Solzhenitsyn's, one of a state that would have gotten its moral act together before moving ahead with elections or privatization.
Satter's book provides insight into the too-easily forgotten costs of the changes that are still underway in Russia. It provides a much-needed re-emphasis on the role of moral and social values in genuine reform. It does not, however, help any of those wanting to see a better Russia—inside or outside the country—resolve the dilemma of how to encourage the right sort of changes in the present difficult social and political circumstances. It also offers little hope for those in Russia who are waiting for the angels while forced to live in a world still governed by human beings.

By Willie Ellison
It was the program that almost wasn't, but thanks to hard work, diligence, a community effort and an understanding and caring Mayor and City Council, F.I.G.H.T.S. Boxing Program will be around to fight another day.
Program founder and director Ian Franklin established this program over 13 years ago, and the labor of love has done nothing but grown ever since. However, when you listen to Franklin talk about his passion and witness first hand the impact it has on the youth, one can tell right away that this is about more than just boxing.
"The goal is to encourage and stimulate spiritual, mental and physical growth in the youth while teaching the hard work, dedication and discipline of boxing," said Franklin. "The program provides the youth a place to come and do something constructive with their time, while learning life skills through learning the fundamentals of boxing. I want to thank the Mayor and City Council for keeping this program going," he added.
When Franklin began the journey of what is now the F.I.G.H.T.S. Boxing Program it was just him, his oldest son, a heavy bag and a lot of desire. Now it has grown to be one of the premier youth boxing programs in the city, and is in the process of growing to be so much more.
Neighborhood kids quickly caught wind of Franklin's program, and before he knew it he had anywhere from 15-20 kids in his garage on a daily basis learning the fundamentals of boxing. Little did they know they were getting so much more. Not only did Franklin notice a difference in the kids, they noticed a difference in themselves. All changes for the better, of course.
The kids were spending time with Franklin, a positive community role model who commands respect, but also carries himself in a way that warrants it. He also makes himself available to the youth and has always shown a soft side even when he had to be stern. The kids left the garage, or the makeshift gym, with an understanding of hard work, discipline, team work and dedication. They also knew they had a place to work out their frustrations and in Franklin they knew they had someone to talk to. Someone who truly understood what they were dealing with.
Franklin is no stranger to the at-risk youth situation. He himself was an at-risk youth, caught in the legal system. Lacking guidance and discipline, Franklin was saved by boxing. The same tool he is using to help save so many, is what saved him from a life that was sure to have a tragic outcome.
Franklin had a brief pro career, one that showed promise and a lot of potential to be successful. However, an unfortunate injury put an early end to his career, but his love of boxing and what he learned from it is what kept him focused on life and being a positive person.
The F.I.G.H.T.S. Boxing program has since grown and moved to a new location. It was housed at Ecclesia Christian Fellowship in Highland where he trained a couple of Olympic hopefuls.
"Pastor Josh Beckley has been a tremendous help with this program. He blessed us with some space to train and run a program; he blessed us financially and with other resources, I can't thank him and the Ecclesia family enough," said Franklin.
Now with the assistance of Beckley, the city and many others, Franklin and the F.I.G.H.T.S. Program is housed at Perris Hill Park, directly across from Fiscalini baseball field. With little or no advertisement the kids found the program and they are coming out in droves. He averages about 20-30 youth a day, who choose to be a part of the program, and follow all the rules that apply.
The move wasn't as simple as it seems. It took a community effort, a red tape process and a council meeting. But thanks to all parties involved the kids have a program to attend in a safe location.
"I have to commend the Mayor and the City Council for the way they stepped in for the kids. They recognized the impact of this program and how it will benefit the city and found a way to make things happen. They need to be recognized for their effort," said Danny Tillman, San Bernardino City School Board member. "Ian (Franklin) is doing a great job. His program attracts on average 20 kids a day; we have to support programs that have that type of impact on the youth," added Tillman.
The F.I.G.H.T.S. Boxing program has a number of success stories to speak on. Members of the program have been able to have life experiences that they otherwise would not have access to. Some of the experiences include cross-county travel, competing in national boxing tournaments, competing in the U.S. Olympic Trials, make the USA Olympic Boxing team and becoming a professional boxer.
Franklin can boast of many success stories where boxing plays the starring roles. However, the stories Franklin likes to boast about are the kids who use the F.I.G.H.T.S. program as a way to save their lives. The ones who learn how to make the principles of the program work for them, even if they didn't further themselves in the sport.
"I'm proud of all the kids and their success. We have a couple of guys that have turned pro, we have guys that competed in the trials, we have an Olympic athlete that came up through the ranks of the F.I.G.H.T.S. program, but most of all we have survivors. Guys who were shown a better way of life and they took it," said Franklin. "Not everyone has the ability to be a boxer, they have to be fighters within, and that what they learn by being a part of F.I.G.H.T.S.," said Franklin.
Franklin's biggest success story is about a young middle school age kid he met straight out of the California Youth Authority (CYA). The kid was expelled from middle school for gang banging and carrying a firearm on campus. Franklin introduced the kid to boxing through the program and that became their common bond. From there the kid would attend church with Franklin and his sons. Through the program the kid learned to live by the principles taught at F.I.G.H.T.S. He never returned to the life of crime, but instead he is a paralegal in a prestigious area law firm, a youth mentor, a community leader and a very strong advocate of the F.I.G.H.T.S. boxing program. He also gave one of the most heart-wrenching life-saving stories that could have possibly played a key role in the powers that be decision making. It was the story of Michael Thompson that brought tears to the eyes of many during the city council meeting. His success story included the role the F.I.G.H.T.S. boxing program played in its outcome, and how it would have been a completely different story had it not been for Franklin and F.I.G.H.T.S.
Thompson's story alone proves this is about more than just boxing. This program has allowed some very talented kids a shot at once in a lifetime, dream-come-true type of experience. The F.I.G.H.T.S. boxing program is the only program in the state to have Olympic representation. Members of the program have won multiple national and state titles, along with Golden Gloves titles. As mentioned before, this is not just about boxing, and not everyone is going to be a fighter, but everyone deserves a fighting chance.
The FIGHTS Boxing Program is located at Perris Hill Park on Highland Avenue directly across from Fiscalini baseball field. The program is open to the youth from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. For additional information contact Ian Franklin at (909) 496-6029.

State Attorney Bill Eddins announced that the State will seek the death penalty against Joshua Wayne Douglas regarding the death of Jamie M. Broxson.
According to a state attorney media release, an Escambia County Grand Jury indicted Douglas on Dec. 22 for First Degree Murder and Sexual Batter (with a deadly weapon or force likely to cause serious personal injury).
Investigators interviewed Douglas on Dec. 7, at which time he admitted placing duct tape on Jamie Broxson and having sex with her. Broxson's body was found in a wooded area off Jernigan Road north of Pensacola on Nov. 29, 2010.
Family members in Navarre last spoke to Broxson around Thanksgiving, and she was expected to come to her father's house on Nov. 27.
DNA work performed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement was used in the investigation and linked Douglas to the crime.

This camera-trap photo shows a red fox eating a Lapland longspur nestling.
It's from a set of camera-trap photos set up by researchers associated with the Wildlife Conservation Society. The aim of the research was to identify predators of ground-nesting birds in the Alaskan Arctic, especially those predators considered "subsidized species." Subsidized species are those that benefit from human development. In more familiar lower-latitude "habitats" raccoons and crows are considered subsidized species, because both thrive in part by feeding off human refuse. In the Alaskan Arctic some of species that survive in large measure due to human energy industry damage local bird populations. In a sense, these subsidized species are a form of pollution.

Lifelong learning for adults is an increasingly important educational specialization in the 21st century. The massive economic, political, social and psychological changes that are transforming the nature and structure of virtually all institutions in society have rendered obsolete the notion that people can be adequately educated, once and for all, in their youth. In addition, the challenges faced by adults today call for changes in our social, economic, and political systems. The Adult Learning and Leadership Programs emphasizes transformative learning and development for adult and organizational change in many different settings — educational institutions, business and non-profit or government institutions, healthcare, and community settings. We prepare educational leaders to create bridges to strengthen organizational, community and national capacity.
The Adult Learning and Leadership Program offers various degree options, including the M.A., the Ed.M. and the Ed.D.—with concentrations in in 1.) Adult Education and Organizational Learning and 2.) Healthcare Human Resources.

Secrets to Building a More Valuable Landscape Company
Whether looking to sell out or not, company owners should be focusing on these things that make their companies stronger, more competitive and more valuable.
The level of company mergers and acquisitions in the industry accelerated over the past few years. Some landscape company owners saw the writing on the wall and wanted out. Others simply saw an opportunity to go forward in a more competitive way by joining forces with another company.
Whatever the case, just about every company owner has got to wondering: How much is my company worth, and what can I do to make it worth even more? Here are some insights into those two questions.
Common methods of business valuation and what you can do about them
There are several ways to determine a company's value. Some suggest calculating a multiple of gross profit, perhaps 1.2. Others suggest taking a percentage of total sales, perhaps 60% for maintenance and 30% for installation.
Probably the most common method is taking a multiple of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). EBITDA is supposed to pinpoint a company's operational profitability, i.e. cash flow and ability to pay back debts. Some Green Industry consultants say a company value of four to six times EBITDA is routine.
There are problems with EBITDA, though. A big one is that it doesn't consider equipment (depreciation). If you have a fleet of outdated equipment that will need to be replaced, your EBITDA might need to be adjusted down. Also, if you have high interest payments because you'd borrowed a bunch of money to acquire other companies in order to grow, your EBITDA may also be higher than your company is really worth to a prospective buyer.
There are many variables that come into play, many of which have to get ironed out at the negotiating table. The best thing for the average company owner to do is focus on the actions he can take to not only improve his company's EBITDA, but also improve his company as a whole. For example:
- Improve gross margin by becoming more operationally efficient.
- Improve gross margin by buying smarter and managing inventories better.
- Diligently manage receivables and try to keep to within 30 days.
- Carefully plan investments so each aids in cash flow by helping bring in revenue and/or improve margins.
Get sales growing
About the best thing you can do to add value to your company is grow sales. It's true that a prospective buyer will want to evaluate your company's potential. But past and current performance are of equal importance. Thus, you should always be striving to grow sales year over year so you can show a positive trend line.
You can implement any of the following sales-growth strategies, which happen to take advantage of your existing capabilities:
- Simply sell more of existing products/services to existing markets through a more effective sales effort. To accomplish this you need a well thought-out marketing strategy that's in alignment with a well-executed—and managed—sales process.
- Launch new products/services for existing markets.
- Penetrate adjacent markets with existing products/services.
Be cautious about launching new products/services in new markets, though. This approach can be very costly and risky. It can be done, but requires very careful business planning and flawless execution.
Diversify your revenue streams
Companies are generally viewed as more valuable if they do not have too many eggs in one basket. The more spread out your revenue is, the more capable you are of reacting to different changes in the business environment.
For example, it's considered risky when three or four clients account for a third or more of your sales. If you lose one of those accounts or even experience a substantial pullback, you could be in trouble.
It could also be viewed as risky when you are too reliant on one market segment. For example, if you're 80% residential, what happens if outside forces cause a dramatic reduction in consumer spending on landscaping and lawn care services?

Most helpful review
By williamsgwynfa (627 reviews) from gwaenysgor , 14 Jul 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
this dvd is superb. My son is a big fan of The Rock, who plays Beck a 'retrieval specialist', sent by his boss to the Brazilian Amazon jungle to recover his errant son, Travis (played by Seann William Scott).
The only trouble is Travis does not want to leave, he is to busy tracking down an artifact of native treasure, a solid gold statue hidden in the jungle.
This artifact propels Beck and Travis between battling armed nationalists, led by bar-owner Mariana (played by Rosario Dawson), and the bad guy of the film, Hatcher (played by Christopher Walken), whose empire is an enormous open-pit gold mining operation, worked by the poor local people, who are kept in line by whip-wielding thugs.
Will Beck and Travis succeed against the bad guys? I am not going to tell you, as this would spoil your enjoyment of the film. Watch it to find out.- Was this review helpful to you?

(175)Arnie would have loved this
By TheWatchman (750 reviews) from Suburbia , 15 Aug 2013And by all accounts he did. Welcome to the Jungle would have been a perfect vehicle for Schwarzenegger (if he was a little younger maybe), as it has all the ingredients of an old school Arnie action film. Yes, there are plenty of beatings and shoot-outs, but theyre all pretty tongue-in-cheek and precede a witty quip or a dodgy pun. The Rock (or Dwayne Johnson if were being technical) plays a bounty hunter, employed to bring Stiffler back from the jungle. Sean William Scott seems to be stuck in his Stiffler mode from American Pie, but its no bad thing. He provides most of the bigger laughs next to his long-suffering captor, Dwayne Johnson. Plus the bad guys are exceptionally wicked and deserve everything they get. And theres a seemingly infinite supply of them, just waiting to be beaten or shot to death by Johnson. Expect cheesy action and explosions and our heroes never to sustain so much as a bruise, despite being hurled through the air, landing down cliffs and in trees. And pay attention for Arnies handover cameo in the opening few seconds.- Was this review helpful to you?

Classic Action
By Divers (10 reviews) , 21 Mar 2013As far as classic action movies go, this is a topper. Has everything you could possibly look for. Great action sequences, lots of very funny moments, great bad guy and Dwayne Johnson a. k. a The Rock ticks all the boxes for the action connoisseurs like myself. This movie doesnt try too hard to be different, but action movies trying to be different and 'deeper' is what sucks the fun out of it! Nobody wants AC/DC to cover Stairway To Heaven!(as good a song as it is) Welcome To The Jungle is a great movie that I've already saw at least 5 times.- Was this review helpful to you?

The Rock Rules again!
By sirrahnais (11 reviews) , 12 Nov 2011I literally think that it is impossible to get it wrong with a movie that stars The Rock... ok he was better at wrestling than acting but that is undoubtedly his charm. This movie is another classic 'oversized man battling with anyone who gets in his way' sort of movie... massive comedy aspect thoughtout.
Once again as I say with all movies staring the Rock... if you are after 'oscar winning lump in the throat epic' movie do not rent this. If you are after entertaining wooden acting then do :)- Was this review helpful to you?

Romney & His Homies - All-Out for Capital

Romney & His Homies - All-Out for Capital By Carl Bloice Black Commentator Editorial Board BC September 27, 2012 http://blackcommentator.com/487/487_lm_romney_homies_cover_share.html The part I liked most about Romney's Florida address to campaign donors, where he wrote off nearly half the country's population as lazy ingrates, was the part about the house. It came right after he declared that the "biggest surprise that I have is that young people will vote for Democrats," when he suddenly segued in with a stern warning for those gathered there, "It's like, I mean, there won't be any houses like this if we stay on the road we're on." I guess he was impressed by the house, which is saying something for someone who has eight of his own. But this one is 15,000 square feet and reports are that the "Spanish style oceanfront villa" the Romneys are redoing in Southern California will have only 11,000. The mansion where the Presidential candidate was speaking belongs to fellow capitalist, Marc Leder, who also owns multiple dwellings, one of which has reportedly been the scene of some wild U.S.-style bunga bunga parties. It seems it was Romney who turned Leder on to the promise of private equity dealing and Leder has donated over $200,000 to his mentor's campaign. "From his perch high atop the class structure, Romney offered an analysis of political motivations that even Marxists would regard as excessively materialistic," wrote Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne Jr. the other day. That's actually a bit of a slur on Marxists who don't reduce everything to personal acquisition and spend a lot of time promoting social justice and a sense of collectivity. But Dionne was right about one thing. The words Romney spoke that day in Boca Raton "reinforce a narrative that he is an out-of-touch elitist who doesn't care about the plight of the average American, and that his allegiance is primarily to his class rather than to his country." Romney is actually a bit of a Marxist. He understands the relationship between capital and labor and the tension between the two and he is resolute in standing up for the interest of the former. As the servants passed the canapés, he was actually engaging a frank discussion with fellow members of the capitalist vanguard alliance about the time of day and the way forward. "If it looks like I'm going to win, the markets will be happy," he said. "If it looks like the president's going to win, the markets should not be terribly happy. It depends, of course, which markets you're talking about, which types of commodities and so forth, but my own view is, if we win on November 6th there will be a great deal of optimism about the future of this country. We'll see capital come back, and we'll see - without actually doing anything - we'll actually get a boost in the economy." He feared for the nation's future if Latinos continued a tendency to push the same ballot levers black people do. Some people have had fun with the "without actually doing anything," part, which is a kind of astonishing thing to say. But I find more intriguing and revealing the assertion that "We'll see capital come back." Back from where? Certainly he doesn't mean capital as in money. The stock market is up and the people he was addressing are lining their pockets quite well - and building big houses. No, he means capital as in the two categories "capital" and "labor." In that sense, his other remarks and policies being put forward by his campaign and his party are aimed at ensuring capital's "advance." The man from Bain, who took in $13.7 million last year, was actually having a frank discussion with his fellow capitalist vanguardists at the a $50,000- a-plate fundraiser, especially those from the system's financial sector, about the time of day and the road ahead. And there was audience participation. At one point a diner rose to say, `For the last three years, all everybody's been told is, `Don't worry, we'll take care of you.' How are you going to do it, in two months before the elections, to convince everybody you've got to take care of yourself?" None of this should be too surprising. As the cocky conservative David Brooks in his New York Times column the other day reminded us, "capitalism is an inherently elitist enterprise." Certainly, the representatives of finance capital are not solely in the Republican Party. What we are witnessing today is both major parties vying for the attention and largesse of the titans of Wall Street, Montgomery Street. What Romney was saying to the gathered Republican moneybags was: this is how we will prevail. We have nothing to offer those who are not doing well amid the current crisis prone economy so why pretend? If we are to rule we have to divide. As John Hayward, wrote September 19 in the far right wing journal Human Events, Romney's nostrums were "perfectly in keeping with the strategy behind the Republican National Convention this year." That discussion was supposed to remain in the mansion, among the faithful. Now it's out in the open. Al praise be to Mother Jones and Carter's grandson. "I can summarize what Romney said to a bunch of wealthy donors at a May fundraiser: America is divided between the deserving rich and bums who want a handout. Vote for me, and I'll keep you rich. Thank you very much. Enjoy the chicken," Roger Simon wrote in Politico last week. "It's not elegantly stated, let me put it that way," Romney said later. "I'm speaking off the cuff in response to a question, and I'm sure I can state it more clearly in a more effective way than I did in a setting like that and so I'm sure I'll point that out as time goes on. It's a message which I am going to carry and continue to carry." "Still, Romney ignored a question about whether he really believes what he was saying," wrote Holly Bailey at The Ticket. "Asked if his words were reflective of his `core convictions,' Romney simply walked away." I've seen no indication whether there were any Mexican Americans or African Americans in Romney's Florida audience. If there were he managed to insult both of them, declaring that he feared for the nation's future if Latinos continued a tendency to push the same ballot levers black people do. The stock market is up and the people Romney was addressing are lining their pockets quite well. "Up until this point, as I chronicled the race-baiting and bigotry of the Romney campaign, I had seen it all as a cynical strategy deployed simply to appeal to the basest instincts of the Republican base - and not necessarily reflective of Mitt's own biases," Adele M. Stan wrote at AlterNet last week. "But the video tells a different tale. There, in the well-appointed home of leveraged buyout mogul Marc Leder, Romney seems to be, at last, his authentic self, speaking in a relaxed manner before people of his own social class, giving the subtext of Romney's wish-I-was-a-Mexican remark the feel of a more authentic racial resentment." Reactionary Patrick Buchanan couldn't wait to get into the act. "Romney indicated that folks deeply dependent on government are almost impossible for an advocate of smaller government to win over," he wrote last week. "Is he entirely off base when Washington, D.C., the most government-dependent city in America, went 93-7 for Obama in 2008?" Talk about dog whistles. Not all Republicans are comfortable with Romney's sermon at the mansion, as indicated by the number trying to jump ship or move as far away from the captain as possible. Some have sense and just don't agree. Others are merely embarrassed. "Some conservatives are backing away slowly, sensing smartly perhaps that there's something deeply cynical, cruel, hostile and unpatriotic about the things Romney said when he thought the rest of America wasn't listening - just rich ex-frat boys like himself," wrote Cheryl Contee of Jack and Jill Politics September 21. "When I was a lad, conservatives were supposed to see the good in the existing order and work to keep things from falling apart," wrote Gary Silverman, Financial Times US news editor, last Friday. "Mr. Romney, by contrast, appears to be preparing for a confrontation of some kind. During his appearance in Florida, he looked like he was steeling himself for the day when he was going to take on all these irresponsible people and teach them the right way to live their lives. "As I watched those video clips posted online, I grew thankful that someone had left that little gizmo there in Florida so we could see the real Mr. Romney. It makes up for all those months watching that sunny guy with the easy smile on the campaign trail. This week, we looked into Mr. Romney's soul - and boy, it's dark in there." ______________ BlackCommentator.com Editorial Board member and Columnist, Carl Bloice, is a writer in San Francisco, a member of the National Coordinating Committee of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism and formerly worked for a healthcare union. ___________________________________________ Portside aims to provide material of interest to people on the left that will help them to interpret the world and to change it.

She packs. She moves. She follows. Why? What for? How come? You may think she's lost her mind. Actually, she's lost her heart. It was stolen from her by a man. A man who puts duty first, who longs to deploy, who salutes the flag, and whose boots in the doorway remind her that as long as he is ...her Military Man, She will ...remain his Military Sweetheart. I love my Airman♥

It is worth every lonely night, every tear I cry from missing him and the pain I feel from not having him close. It is worth it because he is my one and only. When I picture myself years from now, I see only him. No matter how painful distance can be, not having him in my life would be so much worse♥

Companies and firms can enter for the European Tax Awards 2014 from today. Entry information is now available in hyperlinks throughout this story.
December 05, 2013
In a judgment in Nice Cheer Investment Limited FACV 23/2012, the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal ruled that year-end unrealised revaluation gains from listed securities held for sale were not chargeable to tax in Hong Kong.
George Osborne, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, today unveiled his Autumn Statement. Anti-avoidance measures dominated, with Osborne promising they will raise £9 billion ($15 billion) over five years.
December 04, 2013
Only a few weeks to go before the start of the new year. This is the time to check whether taking action before January 1 2014 could give you a tax advantage. Here are 11 tax tips and points to note for international companies covering various Dutch tax areas.
December 03, 2013
Speaking exclusively with International Tax Review, Palaniappan Chidambaram, India's Minister of Finance, revealed the long-awaited Direct Taxes Code (DTC) is ready and that he hopes to pass the DTC Bill before the end of this parliamentary term.
The annual pre-Autumn Statement rumour mill for the UK has been churning furiously and issues such as avoidance, business rates, capital gains tax and employment taxes will all probably get at least a mention in Chancellor George Osborne's speech. However, many advisers are expecting few changes and are hoping instead for stability and certainty to be the two overriding themes of the statement.
November 29, 2013
The OECD's action plan for multilateral cooperation to address tax base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS), published on July 19 2013, inaugurates a global collaborative effort to modernise the international tax system. The plan describes 15 proposed actions, identifies expected outputs and establishes the anticipated timeframe. Abe Zhao, Leonard Zhang and David Chamberlain of KPMG China comment on the implications of BEPS for China.
While China is seeking to enhance its position as a favourable jurisdiction for international trade and investment, it needs to safeguard its tax base in the context of cross-border transactions. Chris Xing, Curtis Ng and Vincent Pang of KPMG China assess how the country is working to improve the efficiency of tax collection and combat tax evasion arising from cross-border transactions.
The OECD released its BEPS Action Plan in July 2013 in an environment that continues to challenge global economic recovery. Cheng Chi, Irene Yan, Brett Norwood and Michelle Sun of KPMG China provide their insights on how China is raising its effort to combat aggressive tax planning and evasion and play a more critical role in transfer pricing enforcement and thought leadership globally.
On August 1 2013, the Chinese government announced the nationwide rollout of the first phase of the VAT pilot programme, a significant advance towards replacing business tax (BT) throughout mainland China with a value added tax (VAT) for the services sector. Lachlan Wolfers, John Wang and Shirley Shen of KPMG China look ahead at further VAT changes to come in 2014.
The conventional perception of the Chinese Customs authorities has always been that of a trade restrictive border guard that imposes financial and administrative barriers for importers and exporters. However, Lilly Li, Anthony Chau and Eric Zhou of KPMG China observe there are signs that the Chinese Customs authorities are slowly adopting global practices that are geared more towards trade facilitation than trade restriction.
John Gu, Lily Kang and Eileen Sun of KPMG China analyse the tax challenges for M&A activities in China and share their insights on how tax regulations may evolve to deal with these challenges.
In tandem with the rapid increase in private equity (PE) activities in China over recent years, Chinese tax authorities have taken seemingly aggressive steps to protect its tax base. John Gu, Paul Ma and Henry Wong of KPMG China consider the tax challenges that will or will continue to be faced by PE investors especially and advise on measures to mitigate those exposures.
Preferential tax incentives specific to certain areas were supposed to be things of the past after the 2008 corporate income tax (CIT) reform. However, the recent launch of the Qianhai Cooperation Zone and the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone (PFTZ), suggests otherwise. Karmen Yeung and Chris Mak of KPMG China examine the implications for foreign investors.
Hong Kong's status as an international finance centre has been enhanced by recent developments relating to double taxation agreements, Islamic finance and tax information exchange agreements. Ayesha Lau, Darren Bowdern and Garry Laird of KPMG China examine these developments and consider how the OECD's BEPS project may have an impact on Hong Kong.
Chris Abbiss, Lewis Lu and Jean Jin Li of KPMG China foresee significant changes to the tax and regulatory environment in both Hong Kong and Mainland China over the next 12 months.
For the tax world, 2013 was a year of rapid change. While not all the proposed reforms that dominated the year's headlines will see the light of day in the next 12 months, 2014 is still set to be a year of evolution.
Vijay Krishnamurthy, CFO, company secretary and legal head at SmartPlay Technologies India, looks at the recently notified general anti-avoidance rules (GAAR) in India, analysing whether certain inconsistencies remain and whether the recommendations of the specialist Parthasarathi Shome-led committee should have been adopted in full.
Developing countries often impose withholding tax on payments for certain offshore services. Companies should be aware of where in the world this occurs and the potential protection under tax treaties so they can plan accordingly, says Konstantin Korobchenko of EY and the University of Leiden.
The eighth Americas Tax Awards in New York on September 26 was the biggest ceremony to date and also saw the introduction of the new deal awards.
Ulf Andresen and Jobst Wilmanns of PwC in Frankfurt, explain how Germany's new profit allocation rules for insurance permanent establishments (PE) potentially discriminate against foreign insurers.
For any business engaged in EU cross-border transactions, the European Commission's test case for private VAT ruling requests relating to cross-border situations is a great initiative to try to bridge the gap between EU VAT law and national VAT law, argue Mark Hammond Giles and Karl-Heinz Haydl, two VAT practitioners at a multinational company.
Peter Duchars, of SMP Partners, a Russell Bedford member firm, looks at efforts to harmonise the EU VAT system and the unexpected new challenges this may create.
The US Supreme Court heard the oral arguments in the Woods dispute last month, which deals with whether valuation misstatement penalties are applicable in tax shelter cases. Professor David Shakow, of the University of Pennsylvania Law School and counsel at Chamberlain, Hrdlicka, White, Williams & Aughtry, who filed an amicus brief against the government in the case, explains why taxpayers hope the court's judgment will help clarify two controversial areas of US tax law.

Thread: Anavieve?
May 13th, 2013 09:30 PM #6
I love the name Anavieve. I found the name Annevieve (same pronunciation, just different spelling) on a random website about a year ago (can't find it anywhere else), and completely fell in love with it. IMO it can fit in with almost every name style, and is a great alternative to the increasingly popular Genevieve. I've been trying to find some information about it for a year now, only to come up with zero info, so I'm assuming it doesn't have any history (which doesn't bother me at all).

I've never heard it before, but it is pretty. I did a quick search on Ancestry and found several ladies named Annevieve, most of them in records from the 1910s and 20s.

The Gathering – A Protect Our Waves Action
Thursday, June 11th, 2009Surfers
Against Sewage's (SAS) new campaign Protect Our Waves (POW) campaign is
having its first action, The Gathering, and we need you to get
involved! Simply turn up to Kimmeridge Bay with your wetsuit and board
at 10am on Saturday the 20th of June, International Surfing Day and
show the MoD how important waves are to surfers and waveriders. This is
your chance to be an active part of a solution-based campaign
protecting waves.
Gathering will be a mass paddle out at Kimmeridge to demonstrate how
significant and passionate the UK's surfing and wave-riding communities
are, not least local Bournemouth and Dorset surfers. Winning this
campaign will set a strong precedent for protection of all waves and
all waveriders' rights to access them, so all surfers have a vested
interest! The Gathering will form the foundations for the Broadbench
campaign and we need the foundations to be as strong as possible. We
need you to attend!
Broadbench is a quality wave in
Kimmeridge Bay, described by many as one of Britain's best.
Unfortunately it falls right on the outer boundary of a MoD firing
range. Obviously SAS are not asking the MoD to reduce their use of this
important firing range. However, there is a compromise that will ensure
surfers and waveriders can have 100% access to Broadbench without
impacting on the MOD's full use of the firing range.
are calling on the MoD to revert to a previous firing station, changing
where they fire from. This will in turn change the direction of their
firing and leave Broadbench outside the boundary of the firing range.
Leaving surfers and waveriders with 100% access to Broadbench without
it impacting on the MoD in any way.
We are meeting for the
Gathering at Kimmeridge Bay 10am, Saturday the 20th of June at 10am, it
will be finished by 11.30. Please bring your wetsuit and
surfboard/windsurf/kite board/kayak etc… Parking is £4 so please car
share. It will be a fun event and your chance to be an active part of
this solution based Protect Our Waves SAS action in association with

Extraordinary people in a beautiful place.
Nationally recognized programs taught by supportive faculty.
Students prepared to practice and committed to serve.
On Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 10 a.m. the Supreme Court of Georgia will hear oral arguments in the first-floor moot courtroom at Mercer Law School. The visit will provide an opportunity for students and the local community to observe the Court in action.
At the start of the session, the Court will hold a short admission ceremony allowing any recent law school graduates, alumni or members of the local bar who are not already admitted to the Supreme Court to be admitted at the special session. Instructions for participating in this special admission ceremony can be downloaded here. Those applying for admission will need to complete the application or admission on the Court's website. Applications for admission must be submitted to Tori Little at firstname.lastname@example.com no later than Nov. 12, 2013.
As part of their philanthropy work, Mercer Law's Association of Women Law Students organized several fundraising events for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure of Central Georgia. At the race, the association was recognized as the top team fundraiser and the top school/university division. To raise over $4,000, the group hosted events such as a zumba class, Pink Ribbon Week, a kickball tournament, and a bake sale.
The members of AWLS put a large amount of work into planning, organizing, and publicizing their events. Co-president of the organization, Megan Powers, says that this is because "the entire organization genuinely cares and wants to make a difference when it comes to breast cancer awareness."
Mercer Law School is pleased to welcome Zack Buck as the newest member of the faculty. Professor Buck specializes in health law and his scholarship focuses on the process-based legitimacy of governmental enforcement of laws and rules affecting health and healthcare in the United States. His recent writing focuses on how the enforcement of healthcare fraud and abuse laws affect American quality of care. He teaches health law, torts, and other upper-level health law electives at Mercer. Professor Buck earned his J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, a Masters of Bioethics from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and a B.A. with highest distinction from Miami University (OH).

text: Home Culture The Rampant Sexism at March on Washington Gloria Richardson, one of the few women listed on the program, shares her memories with The Root. By: Keli Goff Posted: Aug. 22 2013 12:18 AM 0 Gloria Richardson, center, leads a 1964 civil rights demonstration in Maryland. (Francis Miller/Getty Images) (The Root) -- The March on Washington is considered one of the greatest gatherings for equal rights in human history. Yet while the crowd congregated to push for the equality of black Americans and workers' rights, female participants in the march, and the civil rights movement as a whole, struggled for equal treatment, acknowledgment and respect. Though famed entertainer Josephine Baker ultimately flew in from France and was granted a speaking slot at the march, the organizers faced criticism that the initial March on Washington program featured no female speakers. As a result they created a special "Tribute to Negro Women Fighters for Freedom." Myrlie Evers was supposed to be the featured speaker for the tribute, but she was unable to attend at the last minute. (Her name, however, was already listed on the program and would remain there.) The other women listed to be honored in the tribute included Diane Nash, co-founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee; Prince Lee, the widow of murdered civil rights activist Herbert Lee; Rosa Parks; Daisy Bates, who had served as head of the Arkansas NAACP during the Little Rock Nine crisis; and Gloria Richardson, co-founder of Cambridge Nonviolent Action Committee. Richardson, who is now 91, took some time to share her memories from that day as well as her perspectives on Russell Simmons, President Obama and the modern-day civil rights movement. When asked for her most profound memory from the March on Washington, Richardson lit up. "The thousands of people that came and the buses! And then the whole energy from those people there, but then I had a bad experience," she explained. "Because when I got to the platform they took my chair away." Asked to elaborate, Richardson recalled that there was a separate tent for the female speakers. When the other women exited, she thought they were headed to the ladies' room before the official program began. She sat there alone in the tent until march organizer Bayard Rustin came frantically looking for her and explained that she was about to miss the program. "Today I read on the Internet that there was a separate place for the women to march." Richardson was referring to recent reports in outlets like USA Today that noted that while the male civil rights leaders walked to the march down Pennsylvania Avenue with the press, the women were relegated to walking down Independence Avenue. This is likely where they were when Richardson thought they had disappeared to the powder room. By the time Richardson arrived to the stage with Rustin, her chair with her name on it had been removed. "Lena Horne and Josephine Baker said, 'They took your chair away. You need to raise hell.' " The indignities didn't end there. Though Richardson had specifically been invited to give two-minute remarks, she recalls that when her name was called and she approached the microphone, "As soon as I said 'hello' the marshal took the mic away." She added, "I thought it was such a great occasion that all of those people from all over the country had gotten there, that I didn't raise hell, I just went on about my business." But the most disappointing moment came later. Richardson missed what was widely considered the march's highlight. "Before it ended, two marshals came to Lena Horne and me -- she had been taking Rosa around to take her around to European satellite stations and saying, 'This is the woman who started the Montgomery Bus Boycott.' So before it was over, these marshals came over, saying they thought we'd be overwhelmed [by fans] and escorted us out, so when Martin [Luther King, Jr.] spoke, we were in a cab on the way back to the hotel. "I think they were annoyed with Lena taking Rosa around. So that part of the march was not a good experience for me." March on Washington at 50: The Women of the 1963 March Without women like Lena Horne or Prince Lee, the epic gathering never would have happened. LOADING GALLERY...

Was going through some old UK Football vids on Youtube and came across this one. I'd almost forgotten how much fun Jared could be to watch (especially when he took off rumblin' with the ball).
I know it was under Morriss and it was a modified version of the Air Raid with more I-formation principles included, but those days of big offense were a lot of fun. Anxious to see what it will be like in a year or two when we put a real defense on the field too.
