How Many Divisions Does Judge Bates Command?
To begin: federal judges have no authority -- none -- to countermand an executive order issued by the president of the United States in the lawful pursuit of his executive function under Article Two of the Constitution. And yet, so out of line has the lesser judiciary -- that is to say, every federal judge below the Supreme Court level -- become that we have now arrived at this blatantly unconstitutional pass.
A federal judge on Friday ordered a total restart of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, in a hit to the Trump administration. The administration last year announced its plan to phase out the program, which provides a level of amnesty to certain illegal immigrants, many of whom came to the U.S. as children.
The order is not set to kick in right away, according to Politico, which notes that the government has until Aug. 23 to file a motion to appeal the ruling by U.S. District Judge John Bates. However, the judge denied a motion by the government to revise its earlier decision in April -- which determined that the Department of Homeland Security's decision to rescind DACA was "unlawful," according to court documents.
Following that decision, the court issued a 90-day stay acknowledging that the "DHS could possibly remedy the decision's inadequacies -- at least in theory." That period of time is now over, the judge said. "For the reasons explained below, the government's motion will be denied," the document read. "Although the Nielsen Memo purports to offer further explanation for DHS' decision to rescind DACA, it fails to elaborate meaningfully on the agency's primary rationale for its decision: the judgment that the policy was unlawful and unconstitutional."
Bollocks. As I've frequently noted on this site, the lower federal courts are entirely creations of Congress, and thus subordinate to it. And they certainly have no authority over the executive branch, other than that which they have aggrandized unto themselves via Marbury v. Madison and other rulings of dubious constitutionality. The notion that the three enumerated branches of the federal government are "co-equal" is a polite fiction to disguise the fact that the Supreme Court (Article Three) is the last and least of them, and can be stripped of all jurisdiction except its enumerated powers any time Congress so ordains.
So where does Judge Bates get off deciding that the administration's reasons for overturning an Obama executive order are insufficient?
The aforementioned memo from DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen provided "additional 'policy' grounds" to undo DACA, the judge wrote. However, he added that "most of these simply repackage legal arguments previously made," making them "'insufficiently independent from the agency's evaluation of DACA's legality' to preclude judicial review or to support the agency's decision."
In closing the brief, the judge wrote that at no point in this ruling, or the previous one, did the court contend that the DHS didn't have "the statutory or constitutional authority" to end the program. "Rather, the court simply holds that if DHS wishes to rescind the program - or to take any other action, for that matter - it must give a rational explanation for its decision," the judge wrote. "A conclusory assertion that a prior policy is illegal, accompanied by a hodgepodge of illogical or post hoc policy assertions, simply will not do," the judge wrote. "The court therefore reaffirms its conclusion that DACA's rescission was unlawful and must be set aside."
Let's call this what it is: an attempt by a single judge in the District of Columbia to usurp the power of the executive simply because he doesn't like the substance of the administration's arguments. But the only argument the administration needs is: "because."
The Left prefers to implement its policy preferences via the courts, because it only takes a handful, or even one, to overturn the will of the people. But our system of government as founded -- and as re-articulated by Abraham Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address -- is devoted to the proposition that here the people rule via their elected representatives, not judges.
The President is every bit as much the arbiter of the Constitution as is the Congress or the Supreme Court; if Trump's ready to tackle the problem of the runaway federal judiciary, this would be a great test case. Because, sooner or later, it's a battle that needs to be fought and won if the constitutional balance of power is to be protected. To paraphrase Andrew Jackson, "John Bates has made his decision -- now let him enforce it."

Olivia Culpo flaunted her enviable figure in a metallic gold sports bra and leggings by Paco Rabanne in a new post on her Instagram page, much to the delight of her 3.2 million followers.
"Damn, left my Fitbit in the house brb #gymtime #nodaysoff," Culpo wrote in the cheeky caption.
Her fans expressed lots of appreciation for the photo, writing loads of compliments in the comment section.
"Shine, babe!," one enthusiastic Culpo follower wrote.
"Legs go on forever," another fan commented.
Although Culpo didn't give any additional details about where the photo was published in her post today, it looks like it's from a magazine spread.
Three days ago, she posted a photo of herself on the cover of Modeliste magazine wearing a silver high-cut one-piece swimsuit, so, it looks like her recent photo is a part of that shoot. There is also another photo on her feed from the Modeliste spread where she's wearing an oversized orange jacket over what looks like a black high-cut leotard.
In the interview with Modeliste, Culpo drops hints that she's working on a "fashion project" but doesn't give any additional information. The model/actress also revealed that she filmed a movie in Jamaica this summer but she didn't disclose the title of the production. Culpo is currently in a movie called Reprisal with Bruce Willis and Frank Grillo that's in theatres right now.
"On a scale of one to ten, I try to always be pretty excited about life," she said in a response to a question about how happy she is at this point in time. "So right now, I am a ten!"

Alongside her other career highlights, Culpo also starred in the first season of Model Squad, a reality series on the E! network which follows a group of models as they navigate the ups and downs of the fashion industry.
Culpo, a former Miss Universe, told Fashion Week Daily, that the experience opened her eyes to the diverse experiences models go through as they build their careers.
"It was really interesting being around such a big group of girls who are in the modeling industry but so different from me," she said in the interview. "They're truly only models for the most part and it was kind of fun for us to take a little from each other's experiences but support one another with the ups and downs of getting jobs — feeling rejection and coping with that."

At the beginning of the month, it was announced that Nightcrawler would be premiering at Toronto International Film Fest. And TIFF is coming up fast. As in next week. (Where did summer go?)
And while The Great White North is the international red carpet premiere of Nightcrawler, Jake and crew are taking the movie way down south for the U.S. premiere.
Now wherever could that be?
Can you say "Deep in the Heart of Texas"
The U.S. red carpet premiere of "Nightcrawler" was the highlight of the second wave of announcements coming out today about Austin, TX's upcoming 10th anniversary edition of Fantastic Fest, which runs from Sept. 18-25th.
and is "largest genre film festival in the U.S., specializing in horror, fantasy, sci-fi, action and just plain fantastic movies from all around the world."
Don't think they had a tough time convincing one of the movie's producers to bring Nightcrawler to Texas, do you?

How to Keep Your Project From Being a Runaway Train
By Harry Hall
Have you ever been handed a project with too many requirements right from the beginning?
How many times have you experienced feature creep? You know the drill – you elicit and document the requirements – you receive sign off – you continue to see changes to the requirements with no controls. Many projects experience 10, 20, 25-percent change in requirements over the life of the project.
If you are successful at avoiding too many requirements or feature creep, you may still encounter developer gold-plating. Developers love to try new things even if the features were not requested, especially when they have new tools. These experiments cause adverse impacts to the schedule, budget, and quality.
Project managers pay a big price when failing to understand and manage project scope. Projects turn into runaway trains. Let's define some terms and look at some practical steps to get you the results you're looking for.
Scope Is Not a Mouthwash
You cannot manage what you do not understand. Let's get our arms around the concept of scope. The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) defines scope as the sum of the products, services, or results.
When we use the word scope, it is helpful to specify the type of scope – product scope or project scope. The product scope are the features and functions of the product, service, or result. The project scope is the work to deliver the product, service, or result.
Imagine that you plan to have a painter paint your living room. What are the deliverables? Here are some questions related to the product scope:
- Do you want the walls painted?
- Do you want the trim painted?
- Do you want the ceiling painted?
- Do you want a coat of primer applied before the first coat of paint?
- What color do you want for the walls, trim, and ceiling?
- What brand and type of paint do you want?
- Do you want a second coat of paint?
What are the tools and equipment that are needed? What work will be done to deliver the product? Here are some questions related to the project scope:
- Will someone remove the furniture from the room before the room is painted?
- Will the painter clean the walls and trim before painting?
- Will the painter tape the trim before painting the walls?
- Will the painter use a brush or a paint sprayer?
- Will someone inspect each step before the painter moves to the next step?
Want more clarification on product and project scope?
Read Your User's Minds
When it comes to requirements, I wish I could read my user's minds…something like what you see on Star Trek. Unfortunately, collecting requirements is challenging. Project managers should consider engaging an effective business analyst for large projects.
A critical part of projects is defining and managing the project requirements. Requirements are the capabilities or conditions needed in the product, service, or result. They are specifications of what should be developed or implemented.
Like the word scope, it is helpful to use an adjective when talking about requirements. There are different types of requirements. Check with your organization to see if there are standard definitions for different types of requirements.
I typically use the following terms. Notice the cascading levels of requirements. We begin with high-level requirements and progressively elaborate the requirements into greater detail.
- Business requirements – the high-level business goals of the project (e.g., Increase customer retention by 5% by the end of the year).
User requirements – a task of a user group (e.g., Quote an insurance policy).
Systems requirements – the detailed specifications of the features and conditions needed in the system (e.g., The system shall invoice customers at month-end).
How to Eat an Elephant
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at time. We all know the saying. Project managers can use this principle for any size project. Use the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to break your projects into bite-sized pieces.
The WBS is a hierarchical decomposition of the work to be performed in order to meet the project goals and create the deliverables. The lowest levels of the WBS are the work products and deliverables used for scheduling, estimating, monitoring, and controlling the project.
Keeping Everyone in the Dark
A mentor of mine says, "People are down on what they are not up on." How true.
Do not make the mistake of waiting until the end of a project to unveil the product, service, or result to your stakeholders. Periodically show the prototypes or deliverables to the customer(s) and the sponsor. When the deliverables are mature, seek formal acceptance. These steps can greatly reduce the risk of rework.
By the way, this mistake occurs more with traditional waterfall projects than agile projects. Whether you take a waterfall or an agile approach, keep your key stakeholders informed.
Keeping Everything in Sync
Project managers should meet with their teams on a regular basis to compare the work completed to the project scope baseline (the defined deliverables, assumptions, and constraints). If there is variance, determine whether corrective or preventive action is required.
Change Happens
Many project managers think their job is ensure that no changes occur. Make no mistake about it – change happens. Expect it!
Our job as project managers is not to stop all the changes but to ensure the necessary changes occur in an organized and agreed-upon manner. Don't get me wrong – project managers should not just add anything that is requested. Requested changes should support and align with the overall goals of the project.
Take changes through a change control process. Analyze and report the impact to the project sponsor. Seek approval when necessary before proceeding.
Arriving at the Train Station
Why do trains turn into runaway trains? It's usually not one thing…it's a combination of things. The engineer may fail to have a good travel plan. The engineer may get distracted or they may fail to check the speed and slow down at appropriate locations. Perhaps there are communication problems with others.
Likewise, project managers face a multitude of scope risks. Be diligent up front in your project to develop a scope management plan. Seek to understand your user's needs. Engage appropriate stakeholders on an ongoing basis. Regularly compare your work against your plan and make needed corrections.
Before you know it, you will safely arrive at your destination with thrilled travelers. You will continue to build a great reputation. Individuals will line up at the ticket booth to get a ticket to your next destination.
Question: In your experience, where do project managers most struggle with defining and managing scope?

Simpson stays alive with win over Cavaliers
Simpson University Sports News
REDDING, Calif. - The Simpson University softball team came frustratingly close to topping top-seeded Concordia (Calif.) in the morning of May 13, and then had to come back and beat Concordia (Ore.) in a win-or-go home contest played in the afternoon heat to stay alive in their NAIA Softball Championships first round bracket, played at Irvine, Calif.
The Red Hawks, ranked No. 17 in the national poll, lost 3-1 in nine innings to host Concordia, and then—for the second time in two days—held off Concordia (Ore.) 6-4 to advance to the finals of the first round.
By defeating the Cavaliers for the second time in two days, Simpson, now 37-7 on the year, earned a rematch with bracket host Concordia (Calif.) May 14 at noon. If the Eagles (50-5 overall) beat Simpson, they will advance to the second round of the Championships, but if the Red Hawks are able to win, they will force a second game that will be played at 3 p.m.—meaning a sweep is in order to advance to the second round.
Jodie Richards went 3-for-3, including a pair of home runs to provide much of the offense in the afternoon game against the Cavaliers. Cherie DeJesus also went deep for the second time in three games, this one a two-run shot in the second to give Simpson a lead it would never relinquish.
Courtney Thomas led off the three-run second with a double and then scored on DeJesus's homer. Richards stepped up to the plate and produced the first of her two long balls.
The Red Hawks picked up two more runs in the fourth to move ahead 5-1 when a Kaylana Mah double plated Marisa Marmolejo, and Mah later scored on a Chelsea Dunn single.
Simpson scored an important insurance run in the top of the sixth when Richards homered to deep right-center for what proved to be the final run of the game.
Paris Hallums came in relief in the bottom of the fifth with a two-run lead and struck out the side, but not before surrendering two hits that produced a run and cut the Red Hawks' lead to 5-4. Hallums, however, shut down the Cavaliers' offense over the next two innings to seal the victory and the chance to play one more day. The Red Hawks' starter, Katelyn Bell, got the win after completing four inning without giving up a walk or recording a strikeout.
In Monday's first game against the Concordia Eagles, Simpson stretched the contest to nine innings, but fell 3-1 to force the rematch with the Concordia Cavaliers.
Simpson's DeJesus, who unleashed a grand slam in the tournament opener on Monday, led the Red Hawk offense with a pair of singles, the first leading off the third inning when Simpson scored its lone run of the game. Noel Montes sacrificed DeJesus to second and then Mah moved her over to third on an infield single, but on Mah's grounder, a Concordia infielder bobbled the ball, allowing DeJesus to score and Mah advance to second.
Hallums, went the distance against Concordia, striking out eight and surrendering just six hits over nine innings—three of which came in the decisive top of the ninth. Concordia's Emily Craig led off the top of the ninth with a solo shot to give the Eagles a 2-1 lead, and they pushed it to a two-run margin on a Rachel Prentice double.
DeJesus and Aleisha Brown both singled in the bottom of the frame, but the Red Hawks were unable to produce a run.

Gambling, Adjunctive Behavior, Schedule-Induced Behavior, Concurrent Consumption
Problem gambling is a burden to the individual gambler and society. Efforts to study the development of problem gambling are thus socially important. Consumption has been demonstrated to have a relation with increased gambling persistence, but little research has been done on concurrent consumption and gambling. Schedule-induced behavior, or adjunctive behavior, may provide a possible means to study concurrent consumption and gambling. In an effort to better understand factors that might contribute to problem gambling, four experiments were conducted that involved manipulations of a simulated slot machine with concurrent access to food and non-alcoholic drink. All experiments consisted of two, approximately 30-minute, sessions. Experiment 1 had six participants complete the same win conditions across sessions. Experiment 2 had six participants complete different win conditions across sessions. Experiment 3 had six participants complete the same win conditions across sessions, while the simulation played on its own. Experiment 4 had six participants complete two sessions of the same win conditions, but with light sequences that were altered across sessions. While participants did not display the characteristic pattern of schedule-induced behavior in a molecular win-to-win analysis, other molar session-wide patterns emerged with regards to consumption and grooming. Implications for human schedule-induced behavior and gambling research are discussed.

For the residential mortgage portfolios, all the residential collateral types should have a residentially zoned land, a free-standing structure and no new loans involved. On the other hand, for commercial mortgage portfolios, consideration is based on performing and sub-performing portfolios in both cities and the neighboring suburbs. Rural areas are however not preferred given the assumption that the surrounding circumstances to the assets are questionable. However, all the mixed-unit, multi-unit, and commercial collateral types should essentially have residentially zoned land and attached structures. Loan owner occupancy is however preferred though second homes and investments are always considered too.
Business loans can be determined but are never limited to the business financial strength, the credit score of the borrower or business characteristics. All business-oriented loans must have a guarantee, written personally by the borrower and any other loans should be not only reviewed but considered by a case to case basis.

Gear Finance For Your Enterprise
Earlier than your best concepts can impression what you are promoting, you want a finance company that permits you to flip your plan into a reality. Depending on how the financing agreement is structured, the lender may impose a blanket lien or require a personal assure A blanket lien allows the lender to put claim to your business belongings, including the gear itself should you default. As the identify suggests, time period loans are repaid over a set time period similar to a mortgage or car loan.
Whether you decide to purchase or lease business equipment, it is smart to be sure to fully perceive the phrases and prices. There are definitely advantages with leasing, but with an equipment mortgage, youâll own that gear after your loan will get paid off.
How lengthy you may lengthen the time period of your tools loan relies on the form of equipment youâre financing, in addition to its anticipated lifetime. While a line of credit score can offer easy access to cash for an gear purchase, that convenience often comes at a value within the kind of a higher rate of interest.
Of all five options, the 504 mortgage has the longest time horizon for funding. Perfect credit score is not a requirement of obtaining an tools loan. In case you have a card that pays 3% cash again, for instance, and you utilize it to cost a $15,000 oven to your restaurant, you'd successfully be getting a $450 discount.

Inside the Church, on the very day this picture was taken, just the other day, all hell broke out. Call to mind that Holy Mass is the Last Supper which is united to Calvary: This is my body being handed over right now in sacrifice; this is my blood right now being poured out for the many in sacrifice. All of hell was broken out on Calvary, and it is at the Last Supper that Satan entered into Judas. All that, in your calm, peaceful Mass at your parish Church. Mary knows all about it. She was there.

August 10, 2014 / UNCOMMON
August 10, 2014
I have the privilege of working with a diverse range of leadership teams at both multibillion dollar corporations and passionate, early-stage startups. As a strategic guide I work closely with senior executives around brand, innovation and cultural transformation, operating more like a big brother to the founders of startups.
I love the scrappy can-do attitude of early-stage companies—simply walk through the doors and the energy is infectious. Their optimism, agility and ingenuity to create something special and new to the world keeps them hyper-focused. Invariably everything is being rapidly prototyped and refined with the latest round of learnings. There is a competitor to beat and an incumbent technology to displace, so the focus is outward-facing with a closely connected team running to cross a milestone for funding or in a fight for survival. The startup mentality focuses the mind, challenges the body and can be good for the soul.
Coming from England where fiscal accomplishments are measured in the hundred millions, multibillion dollar corporations still blow me away. The sheer scale and resources are inconceivable and I still get a thrill walking into the reception of a multinational company because of the potential for positive change that they can create. Size has the obvious benefits of scale, infrastructure, intellectual and financial capital, depth of resources and capabilities, and sustainability. Nothing surprises me in terms of what a large organization's capabilities are. But one of the symptoms of size that I find continuously disappointing is the enemy on the inside–and it often manifests itself at the top with leadership in fighting, politicking and a lack of genuine teamwork.
If you're a leader of a large organization, I guarantee you will find significant opportunities for growth performance optimization and cultural transformation by taking a good honest look on the inside–how you function as a company and where you need to change. With that information, you can confidently direct your focus and efforts on what's important on the outside.
Courageous leaders lead
Leaders who spend their time people pleasing, positioning and politicking create cultures that don't move corporations or departments to realize their full potential. It takes a courageous leader to set a vision and challenge the team to define a path, stay the course and not get distracted by the small stuff. A clear vision with a compelling future state focuses your entire team on a destination they can all take pride in building together.
Put purpose before pride and values before greed
When profits come before purpose, personal pride usually overshadows shared values and you can clearly see the trail of dysfunction and destruction. Inside many large organizations, greed and pride are the result of short-term, results-driven incentive schemes that fail to align individual leaders around a brand's greater purpose and operating principles.
Train as a leadership team so you can play like a team|
Just like a great soccer team trains together so they can cumulatively play to win, a great executive team spends time getting to know each other. They are coached, encouraged and challenged to collaborate together. There are no sarcastic comments when another member of the team speaks. There are no meetings before the meeting. Come together, play together and strive for a common goal. Learn to play like a team and heed the wise words of Henry Ford, "Coming together is the start. Staying together is progress. Working together is success."

Last summer, due to a false negative pregnancy test in my first trimester, I didn't learn about my pregnancy until I was 16 weeks along. I stopped getting my period, due to my birth control pill, about three months before I became pregnant, so I was used to having irregular to nonexistent bleeding. The pharmacy I used switched my birth control pill unbeknownst to me and during that week of my body's adjustment to the new pill was when I became pregnant. It occurred to me during these few months that I should take a pregnancy test to be sure my lack of bleeding was normal and my universities' reproductive health clinic assured me it was common on the pill and I even took a pregnancy test, which came back negative. Months passed and I began to experience severe morning sickness, though I ruled out pregnancy due to the false negative pregnancy test and when I finally took another pregnancy test after some undeniable symptoms, I was shocked to learn the truth.
When I first discovered I was pregnant, I knew from the beginning that seeking an abortion was the right decision for me, and I began to research the different options available. I made an appointment as soon as possible at a local women's health clinic and it wasn't until the ultrasound that I learned I was further along than I initially thought. Due to the false pregnancy test I was inaccurately estimating I was still in the early stages of my first trimester. I was 16 weeks along which significantly hindered the services accessible to me. The clinic was unable to provide me with the services I needed because they didn't have the resources to provide a dilation and evacuation abortion and sent me home feeling incredibly panicked and significantly less in control of the situation. The stage of my pregnancy immediately made finding the services I needed arduous and after learning that almost none of the clinics in Colorado could accommodate a second trimester abortion, due to overcrowding, I was forced to fly to Chicago, where my family lives, to have the procedure done there.
Though I knew my parents would be supportive of my decision to have the abortion, it was not something that I wanted to share with them, solely because it was a personal decision and I'm a private person. After learning that multiple Chicago clinics could get me in for the abortion right away, I made the decision to inform my parents about what was happening, though I wouldn't have if I had been able to access what I needed in Colorado.
My story isn't at all uncommon but the privilege I had in being able to afford a last-minute plane ticket, the actual cost of the procedure, time off work, and supportive family members was unique. It's imperative to recognize that the issues I faced with accessibility, disproportionally harm low income people and people of color. People who can't afford an abortion when they first find out about their pregnancies and are forced to save up or who don't have the resources to travel far distances to access one of the few clinics in their state that will provide late first, second and third trimester abortions.
I shouldn't have had to go to a different state to access the services that I needed, and I shouldn't have had to tell anyone that I didn't want to tell about my pregnancy, but I was incredibly lucky to have had the support of my family and the financial ability to cover the costs. Too many people in this country do not have these privileges regarding their choices and their bodies which is completely unacceptable. Attacks to further exacerbate existing abortion accessibility issues are constantly being made and I'm committed to fight back and stand with communities of color, queer and trans communities and low-income communities for the rights we all deserve.
