2012 U.S. Olympic Triathlon Team qualifiers Laura Bennett and Manuel Huerta highlight a field of more than 70 international athletes set to compete Saturday at the Dallas ITU Pan American Cup.

See the complete press release from USA Triathlon below:

The draft-legal Olympic-distance race (1,500-meter swim, 40-kilometer bike, 10-kilometer run) will feature nearly 40 Americans competing on their home soil. The women will race at noon, followed by the men at 2:45 p.m.

On the women?s side, Bennett (Boulder, Colo.) returns to ITU action for the first time since recording her first career World Triathlon Series podium finish and punching her ticket to London at the May 11 ITU World Triathlon San Diego. She swam collegiately in the Dallas area at Southern Methodist University.

Additionally, 2011 USA Triathlon Rookie of the Year Kelly Whitley (Colorado Springs, Colo.) of the Elite Triathlon Academy and 2011 USA Triathlon Under-23 Athlete of the Year Kaitlin Shiver (Melbourne, Fla.) are slated to race after making their ITU World Triathlon Series debuts in San Diego.

On the men?s side, Huerta (Miami, Fla.) will race for the first time since qualifying for the London Games with a ninth-place finish at the May 12 ITU World Triathlon San Diego. Joining Huerta in the men?s field is Kevin Collington (Orlando, Fla.), who owns a pair of top-five Pan American Cup finishes in 2012, and USA Triathlon Project 2016 program member Joe Maloy (Wildwood Crest, N.J.)

Reigning ITU Junior World Champion Lukas Verzbicas (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and Elite Triathlon Academy teammates Kevin McDowell (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and Ryan Bice (Colorado Springs, Colo.) also will compete.

A handful of athletes with Dallas-area ties are slated to compete, including 2012 Elite Duathlon National Champion D?Ann Arthur (Dallas, Texas), the husband-and-wife tandem of Barrett and Lauren Brandon (Fort Worth, Texas) and rising star William Huffman (Colleyville, Texas).

In addition to the ITU Pan American Cup, Dallas also hosts the PlayTri Youth F1 (ages 12-16) and Elite Development Races (ages 16-23) Saturday morning. These sprint-distance events are designed to provide top up-and-coming triathletes with draft-legal racing experience. Action begins at 7 a.m. with the women?s Elite Development Race.

Crime in Suriname - Jotwell: Legal History

The November 2011 issue of the Law and History Review is devoted to an illuminating symposium on new directions in the study of slavery, edited by Rebecca Scott.? The symposium includes an amazing article by Natalie Davis.? Since this is a blog devoted to enthusiasms, indulge me as I indulge myself.

I am a historian today in large part because of Natalie Zemon Davis.? Back 44 years ago, as an undergraduate at Carleton College, I had just decided that I would try to be a music major because I had decided, in my naivet?, that historians were boring people.? And then I was talked into going to hear a visiting speaker ? a Professor Davis from Toronto ? who made sixteenth century strikes in Lyons sound so fascinating and who, unlike anyone I had heard to that point, took her audience into the process of thinking reflexively about history. I was hooked.? I changed my major.

Fifteen or sixteen years later, while teaching at the University of Wisconsin, and in the midst of a crisis of confidence about what I was doing as a historian in a law school, I heard Davis?s Curti lectures on the gift relationship.? I felt renewed ? challenged and inspired.? And then (I knew there would be one more ?then?), I had the privilege ? the gift ? of being her colleague for a half dozen years, before Davis ?retired? from Princeton.

Now, many years beyond her official ?retirement,? Davis publishes ?Judges, Masters, Diviners: Slaves? Experience of Criminal Justice in Colonial Suriname,? as part of her continuing inquiry into slaveholding and the lives of slaves in the Dutch colony of Suriname.? Her larger project of reconstructing life in early modern Suriname has required her to learn new languages and literatures.? It has resulted in provocative and illuminating studies of the ironic situation of Jews who moved to Suriname to found a radically free place for themselves and who then, of course, became slaveholders.? But the Law and History Review article pursues a different question, about the various meanings of what ?criminal law? meant in a radically violent slave society.

The argument is complex and multifaceted, and it rests on readings of an amazing range of sources in many different languages.? It offers a brilliant and imaginative exploration of legal pluralism as it would have been experienced in a place defined by radically unequal power relations ? how slaveholders punished slaves, how the weak state punished or contemplated punishing an occasional, excessively violent slaveholder, and how members of the slave community thought and talked about punishment and criminality.? As befits someone whose scholarly work has for the most part been located in early modern Europe, there are continuing references to the European social history of crime and also reflections on why the violence in places Suriname played no part in the official European legal culture.

The opening pages pursue a relatively conventional and conventionally horrific portrait of the violence and cruelty of punishments that slaveholders visited on slaves in early eighteenth century Suriname.? The illustrations (better viewed on line than in the paper version of the review) are marvelous, but to this point the story told is one that readers in the global slavery literature will have heard before ? about sadism and brutality and unconvincing rationalizations.

But then the essay confounds the reader by asking her/him to contemplate what slaves would have understood as punishable offenses and how they would have punished offenders.? And there follows a dizzying exploration of the relationships between ordeals and tortures, and of the multiplicity of legal traditions and practices that shaped this confused and confusing place, Suriname.

The very notion of combining a portrait of what slaveholders called ?punishment? for ?crimes? with sketches of what Africans would have understood at that time as legitimate punishments for harms done to others leaves the reader slightly queasy and uncertain.? There is something odd or disruptive about asking what were legitimately punishable wrongs, in a context filled with so much sadistic violence. ?Still, to ?do? history from the ?bottom up? means presuming that the slaves themselves carried understandings of criminality and criminal justice.? It might be easier just to leave captured Africa slaves as victims of white power.? Davis, however, leads the reader to ask harder questions: How would recently captured Africans have understood criminality? How might they have meant to police themselves? What would they have regarded as legitimate punishments for harms done to others within their communities?

This is a work at the cutting edge of so many subfields of history.? And yet, at the same time, it is a fascinatingly old fashioned work.? Old fashioned in one particular sense: it is framed by an optimistic (a hard word to use in the context of what is being explored) commitment to the exercise of the historical imagination and to the partial knowability of historical pasts.? For Davis and her readers, torture and punishment ? the manifest content of what happened in eighteenth century Suriname ? become something more than discursive constructs.? To read Davis is to read something more than a reporting on the contexts of texts.? It is to experience and to imagine killings and tortures authorized by the state and by the controlled and out of control violence of slaveholders.? It is also to remind the reader that the task of understanding historical subjects, of imagining them in their present tense, requires one to reconstruct their memories, their pasts, and their inherited practices.? Their present ? their real lives at a particular historical moment ? incorporates many histories (including many languages and complex understandings), just as ours does.

?Judges, Masters, Diviners? is a triumph of the moral and historical imagination.

ACLU, Lambda Legal, and 25 Couples Sue for Equal Marriage ...

Later today, Lambda Legal and the ACLU will file lawsuits in Illinois demanding legal marriage rights for gay couples, the Chicago Tribune reports:

ILA total of 25 couples from across the state are plaintiffs in the two lawsuits. Each couple tried to get a marriage license from the Cook County clerk's office in May and was denied based on the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, which prohibits marriage "between 2 individuals of the same sex" and states: "A marriage between 2 individuals of the same sex is contrary to the public policy of this State."

The lawsuit will be announced at a press conference today at 10:30am in Chicago, according to an email Towleroad received from Lambda Legal.

The Tribune adds:

The gay rights group Lambda Legal and the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois each plan to file a lawsuit Wednesday against the clerk of Cook County, claiming that not issuing marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples violates the equal protection and due process clauses of the Illinois Constitution.

Activists say they will continue to press lawmakers to legalize same-sex marriage. But these lawsuits mean that the judicial system, and possibly the Illinois Supreme Court, will play a role as well.

"We always thought this was something that had to happen," said ACLU attorney John Knight. "We think it's time to try in the courts, and we're optimistic about our chances."

"We feel like we're at a tipping point," said Camilla Taylor, a Lambda Legal attorney who headed up a similar case that led to the legalization of gay marriage in Iowa. "You reach a point where you can no longer tell these families that they should hold off. You lack the justification when we reach a national moment, when it's clear that our time is now."

LazadoThe Chicago Sun-Times adds:

The planned lawsuits will make some of the same arguments that worked in Iowa: equal protection under the law and due process. The ACLU case will argue that the right to privacy in Illinois? Constitution protects against a ban on gay marriage. California?s constitution had a similar right to privacy cited by that state?s high court in upholding a right to same-sex marriage. That law is under review in federal appellate court.

Lambda also argues that Illinois? ban on ?special legislation? that benefits one group over another prohibits a ban on same-sex marriage.

Chicago Police Det. Tanya Lazaro, 36, and her partner Liz Matos, 40, are one of the couples filing suit ? Sun Times.

A marriage equality bill introduced in the Illinois legislature earlier this year isn't likely to see movement, as we noted in April.

15 dead in latest killer quake in northern Italy

MIRANDOLA, Italy (AP) ? A powerful earthquake killed at least 15 people and left 200 injured Tuesday as it rocked a swath of northern Italy. Factories, warehouses and churches collapsed, dealing a second blow to a region where thousands are still homeless from another temblor just nine days ago.

The 5.8 magnitude quake left 14,000 people homeless in the Emilia Romagna region north of Bologna, one of Italy's most agriculturally and industrially productive areas.

It was felt from Piedmont in northwestern Italy to Venice in the northeast and as far north as Austria. Dozens of aftershocks hit the area, some registering more than 5.0 in magnitude.

The temblor terrified many of the thousands who have been living in tents or cars since the May 20 quake and created a whole new wave of homeless.

"I was shaving and I ran out very fast, half dressed," a resident of Sant'Agostino, one of the towns devastated in the quake earlier this month, told AP Television News.

Tuesday's quake struck just after 9:00 a.m. with an epicenter 40 kilometers (25 miles) northwest of Bologna, according to the U.S. Geological Survey ? just a handful of (miles) kilometers away from where the 6.0-magnitude quake that killed seven people on May 20 was centered.

Government undersecretary Antonio Catricala, briefing the Senate in Rome, said at least 15 people were killed, some 200 injured and seven people missing. The number of homeless swelled by several thousand, to a total of 14,000, he said.

While Tuesday's quake was about 100 times less intense than the one May 20, its death toll was more than twice as high. In both, the dead included workers killed by collapsing factories and warehouses.

In the town of Mirandola, near the epicenter, the church of San Francis crumbled, leaving only its facade standing. The main cathedral also collapsed.

Sant'Agostino's town hall, so damaged in the May 20 quake that it looked as if it had been bombed, virtually collapsed when the latest deadly temblor struck.

In a hastily called news conference, Premier Mario Monti pledged the government will do "all that it must and all that is possible in the briefest period to guarantee the resumption of normal life in this area that is so special, so important and so productive for Italy."

The region around Bologna is among the country's most productive. Italy is desperately in need of its industries, for the country is in the midst of another recession and struggling to tame its massive debt as the European debt crisis worsens.

Many victims of the new quake, like the one nine days ago, were at work in huge warehouses that collapsed, including one dead inside a machinery factory in Mirandola.

Labor Minister Elsa Fornero suggested the destruction to buildings was out of proportion, considering the magnitude of the quake.

"It is natural that the earth shakes. But it is not natural that buildings collapse," Fornero said, briefing lawmakers in the lower Chamber of Deputies in Parliament.

The mayor of San Felice sul Panaro told Sky News 24 that there were fatalities in his town, where Italian media said a tower had collapsed.

Tall buildings and schools were evacuated as far away as Milan as a precaution before people were allowed to re-enter. Train lines connecting Bologna with other northern cities were halted while authorities checked for any damage.

When the quake hit, Monti was meeting with emergency officials in Rome to discuss the impact of the earlier quake, which struck in the middle of the night and left at least 7,000 homeless.

The May 20 quake was described by Italian emergency officials as the worst to hit the region since the 1300s. In addition to the deaths, it knocked down a clock tower and other centuries-old buildings and caused millions in losses to a region known for making Parmesan cheese. Its epicenter was about 35 kilometers (22 miles) north of Bologna.

It's not clear why two large quakes have appeared just this month, said Jessica Turner, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colo. The basic driver of the activity is the same kind of geological shifting that produced the Alps, she said.

Prior to May 20, the last earthquake in the region with magnitude that large was in 1501.

Residents had just been taking tentative steps toward resuming normal life when the second quake struck. In Sant'Agostino, a daycare center had just reopened.

In the town of Concordia, the mayor had scheduled a town meeting Tuesday evening to discuss the aftermath of the first quake. Instead, mayor Carlo Marchini confirmed the death of one person struck by falling debris in the town's historic center.

Italy's friendly soccer match against Luxembourg, a warm-up match for the Euro 2012 championships, was canceled. The game had been scheduled to be played Tuesday in Parma, just 40 miles (60 kilometers) west of the quake.

RIM may cut 2,000-plus jobs within two weeks

RIM may cut 2,000-plus jobs within two weeks

RIM's current chief Thorsten Heins has had to make some tough decisions in the first few months of his tenure -- and he could be making some particularly difficult choices about trimming the rank and file within the next two weeks. Assuming we take the claims of several contacts for Canada's The Globe and Mail at face value, "at least" 2,000 jobs are being cut on or before June 1st. The numbers could climb higher at that: Reuters is bracing for as many as 6,000 layoffs, and has described an unhappy routine of "Goodbye Thursdays" where more recent hires are let go. RIM has turned down comment on what it calls "rumors and speculation," and we'd hope for the sake of those possibly affected that it's not true. Having said this, it's hard not to imagine Heins wanting to streamline the BlackBerry maker as much as possible to adapt to shrinking market share and keep the company afloat until BlackBerry 10 potentially spurs a revival.
