Three turtles released in a week
WHILE much of Airlie Beach was enjoying Christmas, the Eco Barge Turtle Team had hungry marine turtles to care for and feed.
This week, the efforts of these dedicated volunteers were rewarded, with three of the turtles having fully recovered to the point of being released.
Turtle Team volunteer Shelley Evans said caring for the turtles had been the most amazing experience.
"And to know that these turtles are now healthy enough to go back out and hopefully live out their extremely long lives is just the best feeling ever," she said.
Particularly exciting for the Whitsunday Turtle Rescue Centre was the release of Kankama, a beautiful female adult green turtle weighing over 100 kilograms.
Kankama was the patient who spent the longest in the Turtle Rescue Centre to date, after being rescued off Hayman Island on July 26 last year.
Eco Barge Clean Seas founder Libby Edge said Kankama was suffering from float syndrome "and tilted to one side quite dramatically". "To everyone's concern [she] displayed minimal activity and a lack of appetite for the first three months in care," she said.
Finally Kankama started eating and it was only a matter of waiting for her float to subside before she could be released.
Ms Edge said the recovery was "fantastic to watch".
"It really is quite heartbreaking when we receive a call about a stranded turtle, as many of them are suffering from extreme starvation when they are rescued," she said.
"But through the support of all of our partners and the local community [and] particularly the dedication of the Turtle Team, we have been able to help 13 of these turtles get back to full condition since the Turtle Centre was launched in May 2013."
Members of the community who see a sick or injured marine turtle are asked to phone 1300 ANIMAL (264 625).

Inspiration for those that desire to live courageous for Christ.
There seems to be few courageous men of the faith today. Whenever we talk about courageous Christians they are often people from the past. But I have a dream that one day the people of the faith will recapture a daring spirit for God that follows after Him wholeheartedly.
One of those ancient characters who modeled courage was a man that John Maxwell referred to as the Braveheart of the Bible. He encompassed outstanding courage in the face of physical threat from not only his enemies, but also his allies. He stood out of the crowd. He was a man's man. Some scholars believe he was even an outsider…a gentile who dwelled among the Israelites. He is my all time favorite warrior from the Bible. However I have to admit that I am extremely bias, because we share the same name. He was known to the Israelites as Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite.
In 1977 when my mother was trying to come up with a name for her firstborn (me), many people tried to detour her from choosing the name Caleb. "He is going to hate that name," they told her. "No one has ever heard a name like that before." But regardless of the opinions she named me Caleb without even knowing that it was a Bible character. In 1977 is was ranked number 274 among the "popular" names of boys, however it was recently ranked the 17th most popular baby name for a boy. I am not sure how the trend got started, but I am still the oldest Caleb that I know.
Despite my mother's advisers, I actually like my name, but it does seem to get a variety of interactions of people.
Numbers 13:17 reads:
17 Moses gave the men these instructions as he sent them out to explore the land: "Go north through the Negev into the hill country. 18 See what the land is like, and find out whether the people living there are strong or weak, few or many. 19 See what kind of land they live in. Is it good or bad? Do their towns have walls, or are they unprotected like open camps? 20 Is the soil fertile or poor? Are there many trees? Do your best to bring back samples of the crops you see." (It happened to be the season for harvesting the first ripe grapes.)21 So they went up and explored the land ….
After they returned from 40 days of exploration they returned and gave the following report to Moses and the entire community of Israelites.
"We entered the land you sent us to explore, and it is indeed a bountiful country—a land flowing with milk and honey. Here is the kind of fruit it produces. Numbers 13:25-27.
One of these bountiful regions was once known as Hebron. This region was once a favorite dwelling place of Abraham and a burial place for Sarah (Gen. 23:17-20). Now it was the land that Caleb had set his gaze on. But there was a problem. Years prior, Hebron had been captured by a renown warrior of giant stature known as Arba. The city was renamed after him and Hebron was no more. Arba then had a son named Anak, who was known to be the greatest among his people. Anak also had three sons who followed carried on his "giant" reputation – Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai. These sons and their clans now roamed this territory and it would not be taken without a fight.
Some of the scouts then reported the rest of the story to the people and it caused an uproar of panic in the camp. 28BUT the people living there are powerful, and their towns are large and fortified. We even saw giants there, the descendants of AnaK. The descendants of Anak were known as the strong or tall necked people. In fact, their was a popular saying in that region that said "Who can stand against the Anakites?" (Dt 9:2) They were famous because of their unconquerable reputation and legends were told that they were distant ancestors of the most feared men who had ever set foot on the planet…the Nephilem.
The US Army coined the phrase, "there is strong an then there is Army Strong". Well, I am sure that many in this era would have declared there is strong and then there is Anakim strong. No surprise, that Anakim was the chosen name for Darth Vader in the Star Wars series.
Being a visual learner, I like to try to grasp stories like this. How big were these boys? Was it a hoax or were they really giants.
Here is what we know about a few giants from the past.
The very thought of facing three renown clans of giants stirred a panic among the Israelites and lets be honest it would have probably done the same to many of us. When the odds are stacked against us or the risks feel to high then all we can often see is our inabilities.
Instead of looking favorably in this circumstance ten of the spies calculated the risks by looking at what they didn't have.
But Caleb tried to quiet the people as they stood before Moses. "Let's go at once to take the land," he said. "We can certainly conquer it!" Numbers 13:30
Caleb's three second speech didn't have the effect he was hoping. In defense, ten of the spies quickly tried to set Caleb straight.
"We can't go up against them! They are stronger than we are!" So they spread this bad report about the land among the Israelites: "The land we traveled through and explored will devour anyone who goes to live there. All the people we saw were huge. 33 We even saw giants there, NEPHELIM, (The descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). Next to them we felt like grasshoppers, and that's what they thought, too!" Numbers 13:32,33
Grasshoppers. Ten explorers went to the lowest of lows and labeled their entire tribe after a small easily broken insect. The worst part of the story is that the thousands gathered agreed that they were nothing more than that…grasshoppers.
If you are not careful you will discover that Grasshopper talkers can take you out by plaguing you with fear. Grasshopper talkers have a habit of…
"The land we traveled through and explored is a wonderful land! And if the Lord is pleased with us, he will bring us safely into that land and give it to us. It is a rich land flowing with milk and honey. Do not rebel against the Lord, and don't be afraid of the people of the land. They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the Lord is with us! Don't be afraid of them!"
Caleb and Joshua did not calculate the risks like the other ten men. They did not look at what they were capable of. They looked at what God has capable of doing through them. They didn't look at what they did't have. They looked at what they did have.
Regardless of the urgency and truth of their speech the crowd didn't budge like it did for Wallace's men. Infact, the people considered stoning Caleb and Joshua because of their fearless faith.
It's easy to criticize the ten spies for their cowardly way of thinking, but would you have been any different. Imagine being one of the spies who returned. Your wife and children embrace you before you give a report. Thoughts of entering a barbaric land with those you deeply love would put any man's faith to the test. It's one thing to endanger your life…its another to endanger the lives of others.
But Caleb had a different perspective. He had an outstanding amount of courage. I have heard it said that courage is not the absence of fear but the willingness to confront it. I agree, but after examining the life of Caleb I seriously don't think he had fear. He appears to have obtained a level of fearlessness in his walk with God. So how did he get this fearless courage? I think that we find the foundation to his daring valor in the Lord's definition of Caleb in Numbers 14:24 :
But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.
This passage is not a man's perspective about Caleb, it is uttered from the mouth of God. It is God's one sentence definition of who Caleb was. Imagine God looking upon you and saying that you have a different spirt than others, because you follow him with your WHOLE HEART. I think those that follow Christ with all their hearts will always be rare. So many of us serve God with part of our heart, but Caleb gives us an example of what it looks like to follow Him with everything.
Here is a challenging thought. How would God define you in a sentence? Could He describe you like he did Caleb? Are you among the few serving Him with all your heart?
It didn't go well for the Israelites who chose fear over faith. The ten spies died soon after because of their disobedience, their second guessing got some of them killed, and the remnant headed back into the desert as wandering nomads. Forty years later that generation died, except for Caleb and Joshua. Caleb endured wandering aimlessly, persevered through the trials of the desert, and lost many of his close friends.
After Moses died Joshua was put into the leadership role of the Israelites. He led them across the Jordan and into the land of promise. All these years later Caleb had not forgotten about the bountiful country with the giants that Moses had promised him. And at the ripe age of eighty five he clears he presents his final request to Joshua:
"Now then, just as the LORD promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the desert. So here I am today, eighty-five years old! I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I'm just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. Now give me this hill country that the LORD promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the LORD helping me, I will drive them out just as he said."
Most of us think we have past our prime once we hit 40 or 50. I felt that way when I hit 30. Don't laugh. I was noticing a few gray hairs and that I couldn't keep up with the younger guys on the basketball court. I'm passed my prime I thought.
But after reading the story of Caleb. How could I at any age say that to myself. In Christ I am always in my prime. With the Holy Spirit inside of me I am always in my prime. Infact, I have told my self that whenever I hit a new decade I am going to take a look at myself in the mirror and say, "I'm in my prime. This is my season."

Les Miles: LSU wideouts should not take their snaps for granted
LSU tried to open up its passing game Saturday night against Eastern Michigan, but the Tigers struggled to get anything going through the air. Quarterback Brandon Harris went 4 0f 15 for 80 yards and an interception and threw only two passes in the second half of Saturday's 44-22 victory.
Harris wasn't the only reason for LSU's passing woes. The Tigers received very little production from their wide receivers. The leading receiver was tight end Colin Jeter, who caught one pass for 28 yards. It was a sloppy performance from the passing attack and LSU coach Les Miles sent a strong message to his receivers in the postgame press conference.
"I think they take for granted the snaps," Miles said according to The Advocate's Ross Dellenger. "My message to them, 'Don't do that.'"
Malachi Dupre and Travin Dural both had their share of opportunities, especially early in the game. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron dialed up a few play-action passes to try and get a big play out of the offense. The execution simply wasn't there. Dupre and Dural both had one drop apiece and didn't show much play-making ability against the Eagles. Miles didn't criticize his quarterback, but said he was disappointed with the dropped passes.
The passing game was so dismal that the Tigers elected to ignore it in the second half. LSU's offense was carried by Leonard Fournette, who ran for 233 yards and three touchdowns.
Harris has thrown for 80 or fewer yards in three of LSU's four games this season. The Tigers have not had a 100-yard receiver in 2015, and the Tigers have not proven they can win a game when Fournette has an off night. LSU might not get away with a one-dimensional attack against Alabama, Florida, Ole Miss, or Texas A&M.
The Tigers are 4-0 because of Fournette, but they will need to make more plays via the passing game if they have any hope of being a national title contender.
Miles: "I wish we had no dropped balls, but we'll work on that again. Reaffirm that desire to throw and catch." #LSU

Fox News Channel's "The Five" is one of the network's longest running and most popular shows. Its star moderator, Dana Perino, is one of the network's most high-profile anchors. So, it makes sense that the network would want a bit more of both.
According to a press release from Fox News, Perino will helm a spinoff of the popular chat show on Fox News Sundays.
Titled "I'll Tell You What," the Perino-hosted show will debut Sunday in the 5 p.m. time slot. It's temporary, meant to run through Nov. 18 — just through the end of the election cycle. However, if "I'll Tell You What" takes off, you can bet that it won't be temporary.
Advertisement - story continues below
Perino, who was President George W. Bush's press secretary, will be joined on the show by Fox News' digital politics editor, Chris Stirewalt, a former reporter with the Washington Examiner.
"The unscripted conversation will be complemented by live reports and touch on the latest from the candidates on the campaign trail," Fox News' release read. "The co-hosts will also be joined by a rotating panel who will offer additional perspective and insight on the historic 2016 race."
TRENDING: Ellison Is Done: 911 Report Confirms Assault Details and We've Got the Report
Perino and Stirewalt have also been working together on a podcast of the same name. That, if you can't get enough of Dana Perino and can't wait until this Sunday, is already available for download.
Given the departure of a number of female personalities from Fox News in the wake of the Roger Ailes scandal — including another former co-host of "The Five," Andrea Tantaros — Perino could be slated to move up at the network. She's certainly one of the most distinguished members at the fair and balanced network, having worked in the Bush White House, and she's always been insightful on "The Five."

My great-grandfather, Asahel Mann, served during the Civil War with the 15th Army Corps, Co. A, 4th Iowa Cavalry, Union Army, as did his brother, John. In a letter written to his father in Iowa, June 20, 1863, John says,
"This morning I seat myself under the shade of a beech tree to write you a few lines. We are all well and in good health. We are on picket about one mile from camp. We are camped 14 miles in the rear of Vicksburg.
"There has been the heaviest firing going on this morning that I have heard since the fight commenced. There is a constant roaring of the cannons.
"Day before yesterday, our company was ordered to charge. We raised the whoop and here we went. They turned the other way and broke for the brush. We had to run through a corn field over very rough ground and over ditches. In running one mile 12 horses fell. My horse fell twice with me. Out of that number of horses falling, there wasn't a man hurt.
"We have just got our new arms, Sharpe carbines. We are armed now just as well as any regiment of cavalry, and I think can do just as good fighting."

Two days later, in battle near Vicksburg, John Mann was killed. He was 27 years, 6 months old.

There's no question that forcible rape—sexual intercourse that isn't consensual— is unacceptable and should be illegal.
Statutory rape, however, is a murkier area.
Statutory rape laws make sexual intercourse involving willing partners illegal by virtue of the age of at least one of the participants. The theory is that young men and women below a certain age aren't capable of knowingly consenting to sex with a full appreciation of the impact of the act and its possible consequences.
The age of consent—that is, the age at which an individual may legally agree to engage in sexual intercourse—varies by state, but ranges from 16 to 18. In some states, individuals under the age of consent may not legally consent to sex under any circumstances at all.
However, in other states, an individual under the age of consent may still legally consent to sex depending on the age difference between the partners, such as if the difference is less than two to four years. (Such provisions are sometimes referred to as "Romeo and Juliet" laws.)
For example, in a state with an age of consent of 16, a 15-year-old girl may be able to legally consent to sex with her 17-year-old boyfriend.
Setting aside the question of whether existing statutory rape laws make sense, especially in our current climate, the application of these laws is often unfair and disproportionately penalizes one party.
I was reading a recent article in the New York Times about Zachery Anderson, a 19-year-old who met a girl online who said she was 17. They eventually met in person and had consensual sex.
The girl's mother, concerned about her whereabouts, contacted the police, who were present when she returned home. When she disclosed what she'd been doing, Anderson found himself under arrest because she was actually only 14.
The focus of the Times article is on how Anderson's guilty plea to fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct may result in his inclusion in Indiana's sexual offender registry and the unfair consequences of his designation as a sexual offender.
However, what struck me was that the girl faced no consequences at all. (Her parents may have punished her in some manner, but she certainly faced no legal consequences.)
After all, she lied about her age. And one can reasonably presume that she did so in order to attract older boys.
To the girl's credit, she and her mother have publicly supported Anderson and testified on his behalf, asking for leniency. Nonetheless, it doesn't seem right to me that her lie may ruin Anderson's life and yet she gets off scot-free.
Some would argue that individuals are responsible for confirming the age of their sexual partners, particularly if it's possible that the partner may be under the applicable age of consent.
But I know I would have a hard time telling a 14-year-old from a 17-year-old these days, given how young people of both sexes dress, talk and act. Do we honestly expect individuals to ask prospective partners for ID, such as a driver's license or birth certificate? And are young men and women equipped to spot fake ID?
Mistake of age is, in fact, a defense to statutory rape in some states, such as California and Illinois. In other words, if the defendant reasonably believed that the victim was at or above the age of consent, he or she may escape liability for this crime.
But in other states, statutory rape is a strict liability crime, meaning the defendant doesn't need to know that the victim is underage to be guilty. That is, "I thought she was 17" or "She told me she was 18" isn't a defense in such states.
I believe that mistake of age should be a defense to statutory rape across the country. I also believe that there should be consequences for lying about one's age to a sexual partner.
All individuals need to be held accountable for their own behavior and its consequences in all contexts.
Regarding the Anderson case, I have a hard time seeing this girl as a victim. After all, she knowingly and intentionally lied about her age. It's almost as if she entrapped this young man into committing this crime. And now he's forced to suffer the consequences of their mutual and consensual act but she bears no responsibility at all. How is that fair?
I also can't help but wonder about the role of gender in this case. Would the police, prosecutors or courts have responded the same way if the 19-year-old had been a young woman who had sex with a 14-year-old boy claiming to be 17?
Unfortunately, women are usually the victims of rape, statutory or otherwise. (Note that women have been prosecuted for statutory rape, most notably in teacher-student relationships.)
However, women also need to take responsibility for their own actions, including their role in sexual encounters.
As one online commenter to the Times article put it:
"My problem with this is the paternalistic attitude of everyone involved. No one hear (sic) seems capable of entertaining the idea that this girl, and others in similar situations, have sexual desire themselves, and the agency to fulfill that desire. The insistence on treating her as a victim, even though she chose her own sexual partner, told a lie to ensure that she'd get what she wanted (sex), is bizarre…Apparently the real threat here is the idea that 14-year-old girls desire sex and have the wherewithal to get it. Assigning disproportionate blame to her partner ensures the narrative that he is a predator and she a hapless victim, even as she stands there saying, But this was my choice!…Many girls like, want, and seek out sex (yes, even with strangers); that it makes the patriarchy uncomfortable shouldn't matter."
It seems to me that there are parallels between a statutory rape case such as this one and prostitution. After all, prostitution is another example of a consensual sexual act that's illegal. Under criminal law, both the prostitute who offers to perform sexual acts for money and the customer who agrees to pay for those sexual acts are guilty of crimes.
So if you're going to give Anderson a criminal record for engaging in consensual sex and brand him as a sexual offender for life, the girl should also be compelled to face legal consequences for her intentional misrepresentation of her age, which directly lead to the sexual act at issue.

Remarkable Experience!
Our loveable cats, but what do their actions mean?
Whether it be fighting with the neighbors cats, between siblings or other family cats or pets or even towards us, aggressive cats are a problem.
However there is no one reason for any of these situations and they must be approached differently.
- Sudden aggression towards us or other pets in the home could be caused by what is known as aggression trauma and can be brought on my some traumatic recent experience such as a visit to the vets.
- General aggression is often a learned behavior and is often associated with cats who have been abused or have not had the benefit of being brought up with their mother or siblings. We humans can also have a hand in promoting this behavior, although we are probably unaware that we are doing it.
Why Do We LOVE Our Pets?
There's a deep-rooted reason why we humans surround ourselves with dogs and cats and other animals. New research finds we are hardwired to respond to other critters, and the mechanism that makes us do that probably dates back hundreds of millions of years to the time when vertebrates were first evolving.
The secret is buried deep in a very old part of the brain, called the amygdala, long recognized as the seat of emotional reaction. Scientists at the California Institute of Technology and the University of California at Los Angeles were able to measure brain activity in 41 persons on a cell-by-cell level and found that neurons in the amygdala became extremely active when participants were shown pictures of animals.

Exhibit dates: March 29 - May 1, 2016
'Just Wingin' It . . . art by Barbara Desrosiers opens on March 29 at Fifth Avenue Art Gallery in the Eau Gallie Arts District of Melbourne. There will be an opening reception during First Friday on April 1, from 5:30 pm until 8:30 pm.
According to Barbara, 'Just Wingin' It' is the result of her inner conversation with birds. She's spent hours watching and photographing them while marveling at their talent for floating without forcing their control upon the wind. This work started as an observation of this talent and became a discipline of allowing intuition more honor and attention. She is very interested in the inner life and how spirituality comes to us in forms of nature and unseen influences. Her work is mixed media, combining digital photography with encaustic and other medias.
Barbara works in Melbourne, Florida, and is an active member of Fifth Avenue Art Gallery. She earned her BFA at the University of Rhode Island and immediately began traveling the world, camera in hand, with her now retired Air Force husband, enabling her to collect thousands of images. She began experimenting with encaustic in 2012 after 20 plus years of working in digital montage and acrylic painting.
'Just Wingin' It . . . art by Barbara Desrosiers will run from March 29 through May 1.

Bachelor's degree in History
The Bachelor's Degree in History provides training in historians' methods and techniques of analysis. Students learn to use tools, including electronic ones, to seek and identify information, so as to solve problems in historiography.
This course aims to respond to new demands from the cultural sector, in which there is currently an upsurge in knowledge of history. Sectors like tourism, museums, mass media and publishing in particular are employing experts in disseminating different aspects and periods in history.
Our graduates acquire the ability to analyse the past and, therefore the present, and can go on into professions like teaching, research, archive management, librarianship, document management, journalism and publishing, cultural consultancy in institutions, international project management, public administration, or diplomacy.
The degree offers nine specialisations to learn more about various periods in history (Ancient History, Medieval History, Contemporary History and Modern History), deal with aspects of Social History (History and Gender, History of War, Social and Cultural History of the Modern and Contemporary Ages ), focus on the local area (History of Catalonia) or tackle management and research in documentary heritage.
The Faculty of Philosophy and Arts of the UAB, which has taught history since its creation in 1968, can offer top-level physical resources (the Humanities Library and unique document collections like SIBHIL·LA) and teaching staff that stand out for their prestige and for their research activity.
Student Profile
The ideal student profile for the Degree in History is a person with a clear interest in history as a science, an interest that can be diachronic (in all periods of history or a specific one) or thematic, i.e. in one facet, either social, political, economic or cultural, over the course of history. Also, both historical analysis and methodological reflection about History require people with a critical and analytical capacity, and with an inclination for observation and reflection. A certain amount of intellectual curiosity is highly important. Finally, good written and spoken communication will also be evaluated throughout the learning process as it will be after when exercising a professional career.
Career options
Career options mainly focus on research and academic teaching in history. Other professional possibilities are:
Management and observation of historical and cultural heritage (archives, museums, foundations, city councils, etc.).
Documentations and counselling for publishers
Collaborations with the media
Information and tourist offices
Cultural counselling for international organisations

30 hand picked films. A new one every day
Filmed during the Nazi occupation of Denmark, Carl Dreyer's Day of Wrath is a harrowing account of individual helplessness in the face of growing social repression and paranoia.
1948 | Winner: NBR Award
1959 | Nominee: Silver Ribbon
A superior follow-up to JOAN OF ARC who's restrained approach is entirely antithetical to the previous film's operatic bombast. In addition, it's also noteworthy for having a anti-heroine who is not treated as being such. Thus, Dreyer takes an objective and distanced look on this story of imprisonment without ever judging the morality of the actions and this ambiguous nature only intensifies her tragic downfall.
A dream combination of several disparate but complementary elements. Dreyer creates a masterpiece at first glance redolent of silent film with its adroit crosscutting, but crucially adds the chiaroscuro and sexual tension of film noir (albeit with a far greater empathy towards women), and heightened all the time by wonderfully intelligent camera movement.
The sun blackening two impassioned figures by the river; Lisbeth Movin's confession under the eyes of Totalitarianism (interpreted as Barthes, "I affirm, beyond truth and falsehood, beyond success and failure."). The remote past is the Repressive present: no remissions. Insofar as hope fails to show itself, I am despondent; but insofar as the action succeeds in performing this failure, I am glad, anxious and glad.
I loved the apparent simplicity in which the story kept unwinding yet how wrought the emotions and relations of each character were building towards the end, it's a very interesting piece to think about afterwards. Also, this film must have been a major influence in Bresson's work.
this film is the perfect meeting point between The Passion & Ordet. Although I preferred those films to this one, I must say anything from Dreyer is phenomenal...as is this film.
10 - How great it feels to deem a film to be among your very favourites, only to love it even more on a rewatch. Mind you, that is the only inkling of joy one can realistically squeeze out of "Day of Wrath"; to call it a harrowing experience is tantamount to calling Captain Beefheart a slightly peculiar dude whose music is a little offbeat. The camerawork and framing in this are also nothing short of marvelous.
4.5 - my first dreyer. absolutely lovely in its assessment of sin as perceived by society, the multi-faceted pressures it creates and the potential consequences thereof. the inquisitorial portion of the film is harrowing, wonderful camera work and use of light as means to open up movement and characterization.
That this was made when Denmark was under German occupation in WW2 helps explain the subject of denunciation and dictatorship. That it is so astonishing is wholly down to the artistry on display. The final sequence is truly heartbreaking.

The Trump administration and Congress continue to take on a new shape. The Presidential Transition Team officially shut its U.S. General Services Administration office on February 28, 2017, and the remaining staff moved to the White House to support personnel decisions. Several key Cabinet positions have been filled, and Congress is entering into a period of six weeks in session. Many campaign promises are unfolding and President Trump reiterated his policy and regulatory direction in his first joint-session address to Congress. Even though the work period is just getting started, it is already drawing heightened attention from business leaders, as well as the American public. Here are 10 important things that we believe are worth focusing on from the last two weeks:
- ACA Repeal Plan Targets Tax
Provisions: Last week, a draft of congressional
Republicans' plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act
(ACA) was leaked to the press. The two-week old draft includes
repeal of all tax provisions in the ACA, including the Net
Investment Income Tax, the Medical Device Tax and the 0.9 percent
Additional Medicare Tax. For the majority of ACA taxes, the draft
proposes to repeal the tax provisions effective for tax years
following December 31, 2016. Given reports that paying for the
"replace" portion of the plan has presented some
challenges, the effective dates and other provisions could change
in the final version of the ACA repeal bill that emerges from the
The only new pay-for in the draft relates to the current tax exemption for employer-sponsored insurance plans. The draft would cap that exemption and tax the amount in excess of the 90th percentile of premiums. The cap would help to pay for proposed enhancements for health savings accounts (HSAs) for both individuals and employees. The plan also creates a refundable tax credit to help individuals pay for premiums.
- ACA Repeal and Budget Reconciliation: As if it weren't challenging enough to try to restructure the ACA in a short period of time, even insiders tend to forget the difficult constraints that budget reconciliation places on such an effort. The budget reconciliation process, designed to enforce budget discipline on an often recalcitrant Congress, has its own restrictions and barriers that legislators must follow if the expedited benefits are to be realized. The process is enforced in the Senate through the Byrd Rule, which allows objections for matters not germane to the reconciliation process and not having a direct impact on increasing or reducing revenues, including prohibitions on implementing policy initiatives that have merely an incidental budgetary impact. The legislation must be carefully crafted in the House to avoid having provisions struck down that violate this rule, thus potentially endangering what will likely be the fragile Republican coalition on ACA restructuring. Additionally, unlike traditional legislation that can bounce back and forth between the House and the Senate, budget rules allow for the House to send a reconciliation bill to the Senate only once before the measure loses its privileged status and is subject to regular Senate rules. In other words, the House and Senate cannot bounce differing versions between the bodies indefinitely without losing the opportunity to use the fast track process that reconciliation provides. The chambers will have the opportunity to conference the bill, but Republican leaders are seeking the quickest path to passing reconciliation so that legislators can turn to the FY 2018 budgetary process, which cannot begin until lawmakers have concluded their work on the FY 2017 reconciliation process.
- Employment-Based Visa Programs: A draft Executive Order (EO) on employment-based visa programs (titled "Protecting American Jobs and Workers by Strengthening the Integrity of Foreign Worker Visa Programs") has been leaked to the press.If the EO were to be adopted in its current draft form, it would establish administration policy that the immigration laws protect—to the maximum degree possible—jobs, wages and the well-being of U.S. workers. To further this policy, the EO would call for a review of existing regulations for non-immigrant employment-based visa programs, including B-1, H-1B and L-1. If adopted, the proposed policies would likely mean increased scrutiny for U.S. employers who hire foreign workers pursuant to these programs and further restrictions on their ability to sponsor new workers for positions in the Unites States. Among other policies, the draft EO directs the government agencies to review all regulations on foreign workers and recommend rescission or modification of the ones that are in conflict with the mandates of the EO, to propose regulations "to restore the integrity of employment-based nonimmigrant worker programs and better protect U.S. and foreign workers affected by those programs," and to initiate an investigation of the "extent of any injury to U.S. workers caused by" employment of foreign workers. The draft EO also asks the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop a plan for site visits for all employment-based visa programs and to start performing site visits at places of employment of L-1 nonimmigrants (intracompany transferees). Finally, the draft EO calls for the establishment of a commission to analyze immigration policies and make recommendations for changes to "better serve the national interest," including moving "towards a merit-based system," and for inclusion of questions regarding U.S. citizenship and immigration status in the national census.
- The Administration and NAFTA: With the confirmation of Wilbur Ross, who continues to be one of President Trump's most trusted trade advisors, we are expecting the administration soon to launch one of its centerpiece trade initiatives and formally notify Congress of its intent to renegotiate NAFTA. The Trade Promotion Authority law under which those negotiations will take place requires such formal notification 90 days in advance of starting negotiations. The notification letter the President sends to Congress should have more detail on the President's goals for the renegotiation, which will be focused on reducing the trade deficit with Mexico, and are currently rumored to include changes on the rules of origin for automobiles, remove the Chapter 19 mechanism that permits challenges to trade remedy determinations, and possibly include a border adjustment measure to respond to Mexico's value-added tax, among other matters.
- Environmental Regulation
Repeal: One month into his term, President Trump repealed
the Stream Protection Rule, created by President Obama during his
final days in office, which sought to protect the nation's
waterways "from debris generated by a practice called surface
mining." The rule was opposed by coal companies, who asserted
that the new regulations would cost coal jobs, hurt local economies
and preempt what they believe is the states' rightful role in
crafting appropriate environmental protections. This is the second
regulation to be reversed by the Trump administration using the
Congressional Review Act (CRA)—and only the third time
Congress has used the CRA to successfully eliminate any
"recently finalized" regulation by a prior
administration. This action serves as an example of the aggressive
methods Republicans and the President may use in the opening months
of the Trump administration to roll back some of President
Obama's most recent initiatives.
On February 28, 2017, just days after his repeal of the Stream Protection Rule, President Trump issued a highly anticipated EO directing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Army Corps of Engineers to initiate efforts to rescind a June 2015 EPA regulation defining and expanding the scope of federal regulatory authority over "Waters of the United States" (WOTUS). Developers, farmers, energy companies and several states previously filed suit arguing that the 2015 rule would slow or impede development on both public and private lands based on geographic features only tangentially related to traditionally regulated waters. In October 2015, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals stayed the Clean Water Rule nationwide. The new EO directs EPA and the Department of Justice to review all pending WOTUS litigation to assess whether changes in the government's litigation position may be appropriate, and states that EPA will propose new regulations to replace the 2015 language with a narrower WOTUS definition consistent with the late Justice Antonin Scalia's opinion in Rapanos v. United States, 547 U.S. 715 (2006). Continued engagement will be crucial to shaping any future rule or litigation.
- Expansion of Buy
America: On January 24, 2017, President Trump issued a
Presidential Memorandum directing the Secretary of Commerce to
develop a plan within 180 days under which all new pipelines built
inside the borders of the United States use materials and equipment
produced in the United States, to the maximum extent possible and
to the extent permitted by law. What the plan will say and whether
it will have any binding authority is not clear. "Buy
America" requirements applicable to highway, public
transportation, airport and rail projects are different because (i)
the requirements are imposed through laws that state that U.S.
international obligations, including World Trade Organization
obligations, do not apply; and (ii) the requirements apply as a
condition of the projects receiving federal funds. Pipelines, in
contrast, are privately funded.
Because the Presidential Memorandum only requires that American-made pipes be used "to the maximum extent possible and to the extent permitted by law," Secretary Ross likely will provide flexibility in his plan, potentially using it to incentivize the use of American-made steel in exchange for quick action on pipeline permits. In any event, it is not likely that the Dakota Access or Keystone pipelines will be built with U.S. steel. The Dakota Access pipeline is almost complete and hundreds of miles of pipe for Keystone XL have already been purchased.
- Congressional Review Act (CRA) Dates: Congressional Republicans continue to use the CRA to rollback Obama administration rules finalized after June 13, 2017. The CRA allows Congress to overturn executive branch rules with a simple majority and prevents future administrations from reissuing the rule in "substantially the same form." The CRA places a 60 legislative-day limit on Congress' ability to use the fast-track procedures to overturn rules. Currently, the deadline for CRA action in the 115th Congress remains fluid due to actions taken in the Senate. Democrats have forced Senate Republican leaders to use up additional legislative days by dragging out the confirmation votes of President Trump's Cabinet nominees. This has led to the Senate holding previously unscheduled legislative days, which count toward the 60-day limit. Currently, the CRA deadline is expected to arrive early to mid-May.
- Rescission of 2014 Broadcast Processing Policies Governing Joint Operation of Television Stations in Same Market: Less than two weeks after being designated as Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman by President Trump, Chairman Pai caused the FCC's Media Bureau to rescind its Broadcast Processing Guidelines governing transactions involving (i) agreements to share facilities, employees and/or services and (ii) financing and/or contingent interest agreements (e.g., option agreements). The Broadcast Processing Guidelines were adopted by the Media Bureau, pursuant to delegated authority, in March 2014 and stated that the Media Bureau would "closely scrutinize" transactions involving shared services arrangements and contingent financial interests. As a result, the Broadcast Processing Guidelines effectively served as a bar to such transactions, which, until that time, historically had been implemented by television stations in small and mid-sized markets as a means to use limited resources more efficiently in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Also as a result of the revocation of the Broadcast Processing Guidelines, the Media Bureau will no longer be subjecting transactions with financial guarantees, option agreements and shared services agreements to increased scrutiny. To this end, on February 27, 2017, the Media Bureau granted a 2013 application that initially contemplated contingent financial interests and, accordingly, had not been processed under the 2014 Broadcast Processing Guidelines, even after the transaction had been modified to remove such contingent financial interests. The grant of this application demonstrates that the Media Bureau will no longer unduly delay grant of applications based on the existence of sharing or financial agreements and, thus, the rescission of the Broadcast Processing Guidelines could lead to increased M&A activity in the television broadcast industry.
- International Trafficking: On Thursday, February 9, 2017, President Trump signed an EO to strengthen enforcement of federal law in order to combat transnational criminal organizations and other groups engaged in illicit activities that present a national security and public safety threat to the United States. Some examples listed in the EO include the illegal smuggling and trafficking of humans, drugs or other substances, wildlife and weapons. President Trump made it clear during his campaign that his administration would tackle the revenue streams used by criminal gangs and terrorist organizations to fund their illegal activities. On February 23, 2017, the President held a meeting with anti-trafficking organizations to discuss the problem of domestic and international human trafficking. President Trump said during the meeting that he would bring the "full force and weight" of the U.S. government to combat what he calls an "epidemic" and has tasked Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly to submit a report to him describing recommended actions and progress to combat trafficking in the next 120 days. Companies who have a presence in high-risk countries should pay attention to the outcome of the comprehensive report due to its potential impact on how they conduct their business.
- Restrictions on Hiring Former Obama Officials: On January 21, 2009, President Obama issued an EO requiring all appointees—a full-time, non-career Presidential or Vice-Presidential appointee; a non-career appointee in the Senior Executive Service (SES) or other SES-type system; and an appointee to a position that has been excepted from the competitive service by reason of being of a confidential or policymaking character (Schedule C and other positions excepted under comparable criteria) in an executive agency—to sign an ethics pledge that included expanded restrictions on certain postemployment activities. As former Obama administration appointees are seeking roles outside of government service, potential employers should know that Obama administration appointees are subject to various restrictions on their activities after leaving government that may impact their new employment. President Trump also issued an EO requiring appointees to his administration to sign an ethics pledge. President Trump's EO lengthens the postemployment restrictions from the prior administration and prohibits appointees from partaking in any activity that triggers registration under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) for the duration of their careers. Individuals appointed under President Obama who are continuing to serve in an acting capacity are subject to the restrictions imposed by the 2009 EO.

Well done!

Taking Back Sunday draws forth images of what would be born of a marriage between Thursday and Saves The Day. The songs feature passionate,heartfelt lyrics that any listener easily identifies with. In December 2001,Victory Records signed Taking Back Sunday and put them in the skillful hands of producer Sal Villanueva and engineer Tim Gilles (Thursday's 'Full Collapse'). The result is a beautiful blend of passion, emotion and sincerity that is unrivaled in the budding emo-rock scene today. "Tell All Your Friends" is truly destined to be one of the breakout albums of 2002.

The "Co-Operation" ideas of Rev. Dr.J.J.Tompkins, of St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish, Nova Scotia, give rise to programs such as the Adult Education Program of the Extension Department of the University. Adults are seen participating in education program, as they take evening instruction in reading, writing, and basic economics, in a local school classrooms. Another pioneer in the "Antigonish Movement," the Rev. Dr. Hugh MacPherson of St.Francis Xavier University, is seen on a farm, advising local farmers about soil and farming techniques. In a laboratory at the University, he discusses soil chemistry, with several farmers, and shows them the contrast between plants with and without proper soil conditions. He counsels farmers out in the field. Views of the campus of St. Francis Xavier University. Map of Nova Scotia showing the Eastern area served by the University.

But did you know that Rita once worked as a fitness club manager? Over a span of nine years, Rita managed three different 24 Hour Fitness clubs, including facilities in Chula Vista on Third Avenue, Hillcrest on Fifth Avenue and Rancho del Rey on Amena Court near the PSAR South County Service Center. "I enjoyed it because I was helping people change their lives for the better," Rita said. "It was very satisfying to connect people with their fitness goals."
Rita has a degree in preschool teaching. She also has worked as a personal trainer and aerobic instructor, and is knowledgeable in nutritional supplements. She is still active as a teacher of Latin Heat dance and cardio classes, as well as educating clients about supplements.
"When I got married 30 years ago to my husband Galo, I told him that I had three goals," Rita said (Rita and Galo have two adult children, daughter Sabrina is a lawyers and son Gallo Giovanni is a computer engineer). "One of my goals was to operate a pre-school, which I did in Guadalajara for a couple of years after we were married. Another goal was to be involved in fitness, which I did. And, a third goal was to work in real estate."
Rita has been selling real estate since 2006. She works with the Keller Williams office in Chula Vista. She has been assisting KW with expansion into Mexico. "Mexico is on the cusp of transformative change," Rita said. "There is tremendous growth potential in energy, manufacturing and tourism, which will lead to new opportunities for real estate professionals who are focused on their clients."
A focus on serving members is a major reason why Rita says she appreciates PSAR. "Anytime I call them, they are always there to help, it's always good," she said. "The continued education programs are very good because they help us build our business. Our Association knows how to take care of the members, we are not just a number."

On the upcoming Tuesday, the France national football team will host the national team of Belarus at their home ground within the tenth round of the 2018 World Cup qualification. The future hosts are the clear favorites of the encounter, Le Tricolor victory will lead the team to the WC final part, therefore the high motivation of the future hosts is not negotiable.
After nine played matches within the WC qualifying tournament, the national team of France managed to gain 20 points to the asset. Such number of gained points allows the team to lead the group A peloton. All-in-all, the Frenchmen managed to score 16 goals in nine games, but it is important to note, that the efficiency of the future guests is 2.5 goals per game on average at their home ground.
The Belarus national football team has failed the current qualifying tournament, the White Wings started good, managed to get a point against the Frenchmen at home, but after that, Kriushenko's men gained only four points in eight games. All gained points were taken in domestic matches, while there were four losses in four away matches. It is hard to count on something with such weak away statistics in the upcoming game against one of the strongest national football teams in the world.
The France national football team will play at their maximum with the Belarusians and the future guests have practically no chance on a positive result in this situation. Moreover, a loss of two goals may be called a success for the eastern slavs, which look very weak in away matches.
Prediction for the match: France national team to win with -2.0 Asian handicap

Professor Glen Stassen Interview
YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE. When Hillary Clinton made comments about abortion going up under President Bush, Malkin was on the case. Her points were twofold: Hillary Clinton was trying desperately to move rightward, and the study Clinton was referring to was both partisan and flawed.
Media Matters took care of the former claim. To address the latter, I ticked off a few points where Lifenews.com was less than accurate. I also asked Dr. Stassen a few questions via e-mail, which he graciously answered this weekend:
Media Matters took care of the former claim. To address the latter, I ticked off a few points where Lifenews.com was less than accurate. I also asked Dr. Stassen a few questions via e-mail, which he graciously answered this weekend:
What first led you to do this research and write this article?
My wife's and my experience with the threat that her rubella (German measles) in the 8th week of pregnancy would probably mean severe handicaps with our baby, our deciding against abortion, because we had hope that we could cope--based on her being a pediatrics nurse and our having coped with challenges before--and then the outstanding help we got raising David from doctors, nurses, teachers, and church members. All this sensitized me to the importance of hope you can cope, and of social safety nets, in deciding against abortions. And I was seeing
those safety nets eroding with policies designed to shift the money to the very wealthy. So I feared abortions might be rising.
Lifenews.com desribes the article as "a last-minute effort to call into question President Bush's pro-life credentials." How would you respond?
You can see the same arguments in the book that David Gushee and I wrote over a five-year period and published in 2003. The book is Kingdom Ethics: Following Jesus in Contemporary Context (InterVarsity Press). It won Christianity Today's award as the best book of the year in either theology or ethics. Read chapter 6 on the books's approach, and chapter 10 on abortion. Read chapters 7-12 on our consistent prolife ethic.
Clearly we wrote this not in response to president Bush, but in response to the way of Jesus as we understand it, and our life experiences.
You can see a similar argument made by the US Catholic bishops when they warned that if Congress and President Clinton eliminated the welfare program, it would undermine social safety nets for mothers and lead to an increase in abortions. They proclaimed it before President W. Bush
was on the radar screens.
In my posting, I didn't address some of Lifenews.com's other claims: That you used "faulty statistics" to claim that abortion was on the rise in George W. Bush's presidency. Among other things, [the scientist quoted in the Lifenews.com article] says that "Not only do the data fail to indicate a nationwide upsurge in abortions, but Stassen provides no economic data whatsoever, much less the kind of statistical analysis one would need to show that
abortions and economic factors such as unemployment are linked." For those of us unfamiliar with statistics, do you have a layman's answer to that claim?
I cite the following five sets of confirming facts that unemployment and lack of health insurance cause an increase in abortions:
1) Two-thirds of women who have abortions say they do not see how they could afford to raise the child. When unemployment is up, affording to raise a child is harder.
2) Half of women who have abortions say they do not have a reliable mate. Data from Children's Defense Fund clearly indicate that men without jobs usually do not marry. Therefore, increased unemployment in the last three years predicts fewer marriages and fewer reliable mates,
and therefore more abortions. I checked this for the sixteen states. Marriages in fact were down, as predicted. During this time of increased unemployment, only three of the sixteen states had more marriages in 2002 than in 2001, and as predicted, abortion rates actually decreased
in those states as a group. In the sixteen states overall, however, there were 16,392 fewer marriages than the year before, and 5,855 more abortions, thus confirming the hypothesis that marriages decrease when the unemployment rate increases, and where marriages decrease, abortions
increase. Clearer confirmation is hard to find.
3) Black and Latina women tend to be poorer and more unemployed. Their abortion rates are two to three times higher than white women.
4) The thirty-year trend shows abortion rates moving in tandem with women's unemployment rates. From 1973 to 1980, women's unemployment increased from approximately 6% to 7.6%, and the abortion rate increased from 16 to 29 per 1,000 women aged 15 to 45. (Of course, these were the
first years after Roe v Wade, which surely also contributed mightily to the increase in abortions.) But then abortions did not keep increasing. From 1980 to 1992, unemployment decreased from 7.6% to 5.5% briefly, and then partway up briefly to 7%. During this period of slow decrease
in unemployment, the abortion rate slowly decreased from 29 to 26. During the Clinton administration, unemployment dropped nicely to 4.5%, and the abortion rate dropped significantly to 21. During the present administration, women's unemployment increased above 6%, and the
abortion rate has increased.
5) This now receives additional confirmation from the fact that the National Institute of Health has reported that infant mortality rate actually increased in 2002 for the first time ever since 1940, the first year for which their website reports the data. This also indicates
decreased support for mothers and babies and decreased healthcare.
It would seem that any information on how to cut down on abortion rates would be welcome to pro-lifers. Would you agree that there is an apparent tendency of your detractors to put their support of President Bush ahead of a desire to understand the driving force behind abortion in this country? If so, do you have any opinions as to why this might be?
Yes, unfortunately that clearly seems to be true. In my article, I wrote only that the abortions decreased in the 1990s by 300,000 per year, from 1,610,000 per year to 1,310,000 per year. I named no political party and no president; I did not try to give the credit to president Clinton,
whose presidency began in January of 1993. The attack on my article by O'Bannon and Hussey said that most of the reduction came in the first half of the decade, when George Bush senior was president. They shifted to speaking frrom a partisan perspective. Their claim was an astounding
distortion of the truth. According to the CDC website, the abortion rate stayed flat during Bush's years, and declined dramatically during Clinton's years. During the senior Bush's years (1989-1992), the abortion rate was 24, 24, 24, and 23. Clinton's first year (1993) it was
still 23. But by 1994 it had dropped to 21, and by 1997 it had dropped to 17, where it stayed through 1999, and then dropped to 16 his last year.
Most of the many email responses to my article were nicely appreciative. But many responded not by dealing with the data, but by defending President Bush. The most frequent defense was that the stagnant economy and consistently high unemployment rate and increase of 5.2 million
uninsured were not his fault. I respond to that defense in the forthcoming issue of The Christian Century.
