Obama vs. the Constitution

by Ramesh Ponnuru

The rule of law is on the ballot

There were warning signs about President Obama’s fealty to the Constitution even before he took the oath of office.

As a senator he had voted against the nomination of John Roberts to be chief justice of the Supreme Court, arguing that Roberts was deficient in the “empathy” required for the position. In a speech during his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, he said any justice he selected would have “to understand what it’s like to be poor or African American or gay or disabled or old.” In other words, he wanted a judicial thumb on the scales for liberalism: Notice that he didn’t mention any empathy for small-business owners or kids in failing schools.

During the general-election campaign, Obama answered an interviewer’s question about whether abortion would be a “litmus test” for his judicial appointees by saying that a person who did not believe in the right to privacy, “as well as the implications for gender equality,” would not have the right judicial philosophy. In other words, a refusal to reconsider judicial decisions that even many liberals admit are hard to square with the text, original understanding, history, or structure of the Constitution is a prerequisite for a judicial nomination from Obama. (He never said anything about empathy for unborn children, either.)

Since taking office, Obama has compiled a record consistent with these early hints. Again and again, liberal policy preferences have trumped fidelity to the Constitution.

Unilateral amnesty. The most recent example came in mid-August, when the Obama administration began implementing the DREAM Act even though Congress had never passed it. The president issued an order commanding immigration agencies not to deport some illegal immigrants who were brought to this country as children and to give them work-authorization permits.

Whether or not this policy is a good idea, it is an idea that Congress has so far declined to put in law. It cannot be justified as a mere prioritization of scarce executive-branch resources, any more than a president could end the enforcement of provisions of the tax code he dislikes on that pretext. Obama understood the point well enough in 2011, when asked whether he could use an executive order to overcome congressional resistance. “America is a nation of laws, which means I, as the president, am obligated to enforce the law,” he responded. “There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as president.” It was true when he said it. It still is.

Welfare waivers. This summer has yielded another case in which the president implemented a policy that Congress never enacted, by exploiting a supposed power that nobody had ever previously contended a president had. Ever since welfare reform was enacted in 1996, states have had to ensure that nearly half of their caseload was involved for at least 30 hours a week in work, on-the-job training, job search, or similar activities. In mid-July, the Department of Health and Human Services said that it could waive this requirement.

The welfare-reform law explicitly gave the secretary of HHS the authority to waive many sections of the law — but did not include the section of the law detailing the work requirements among those waivable. This feature of the law will come as a surprise to no one familiar with the political history that gave rise to the reform in the first place. Welfare reform was enacted by a Congress that deeply distrusted President Clinton: Its fight with him over the budget had already led to two government shutdowns, and it would go on to impeach him. Work requirements were (and are) popular. That Congress would never have given that president the authority to throw out the work requirements. Prior to July, nobody ever argued that it had.

Marriage. Obama’s public position on marriage has been notoriously mutable, but in all his moves he has never found a place of sincerity or logical consistency. As a result there is no way to explain his administration’s actions on the Defense of Marriage Act in a way that speaks well of its fidelity to the Constitution.

Initially the administration claimed it would defend the constitutionality of the law in court even as it favored its repeal. After its first legal filings in the law’s defense elicited outrage from liberal activists, however, it modified that defense by abandoning arguments that had previously succeeded in court. In 2011, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that he had concluded that the law was unconstitutional — indeed, that no reasonable defense of its constitutionality could be made — and that the administration would therefore stop defending it in court.

Even on the assumption that Holder is right and the law is unconstitutional, the administration’s position is indefensible. Holder said that the administration would continue to enforce the law outside the courts — which it ought not to do if it believes it clearly violates the Constitution. And the only rational ground for believing the law is unconstitutional is that refusing to let same-sex couples marry violates the Fourteenth Amendment: that, in other words, recognizing same-sex marriage is constitutionally mandatory. Yet neither Obama nor Holder takes that position. Obama, even now that he has announced that he favors same-sex marriage, says that states should set their own policies.

Either the Constitution allows governments operating under it to define marriage as the union of a man and a woman, or it does not. If it does, then Obama is failing to defend a constitutionally legitimate law from judicial attack. If it does not, he is enforcing an unconstitutional law and telling states they may do the same. What he cannot be doing on either interpretation is protecting the Constitution or even taking it seriously.

Obamacare. President Obama fought hard for, and signed, a law that requires most Americans to buy health insurance. It was an unprecedented step. As Michael Greve writes in The Upside-Down Constitution, “the constitutional provisions that suggest a federal authority to ‘commandeer’ private parties are few, institutionally cabined, and calculated to ensure the operation of the government’s own institutions (such as the armed forces and the jury system) — not, as under [Obamacare], to protect the profitability of private corporations.”

That the Constitution authorizes the federal government to commandeer individuals in strictly limited circumstances yields the strong inference that it regards commandeering in other circumstances as improper, and thus outside its grant of power to Congress to make all laws that are “necessary and proper” to execute its constitutional duties. Nor can a command to enter into commerce be justified as a regulation of commerce, which Congress may constitutionally enact.

A majority of the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government may not order people to buy insurance. An overlapping majority of it ruled, however, that Obamacare could be read to be encouraging, rather than requiring, the purchase of insurance, and upheld it on that basis. The administration welcomed the result, naturally, but continued to insist, with the four most liberal members of the Court, including the two Obama appointed, that this order to the citizenry is within the federal government’s constitutional powers.

Obamacare II. The Obamacare legislation allows the secretary of health and human services to determine what preventive services insurance policies must cover. In January, Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said that almost all employers would have to cover sterilization and contraception — with contraception defined to include such probably abortifacient drugs as “ella.”

The mandate runs afoul of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a bipartisan Clinton-era law that allows the federal government to “substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion” only if it is “the least restrictive means” of advancing “a compelling governmental interest.” The act also stipulates that other laws should not be read to amend or supersede it unless they explicitly say so — which the Obamacare law does not.

Forcing someone to cover services to which he has a moral objection rooted in religion substantially burdens his exercise of religion. A marginal increase in access to contraception is not a compelling governmental interest. Even if it were, there are many ways to effect that marginal increase other than coercing employers.

Sebelius, testifying before the House, said that she had received no legal memo about religious-freedom issues before issuing the regulation. A federal judge has already issued an injunction staying the application of the mandate to a company that had sued against it, on the ground that the company has a good chance of winning the suit.

Obamacare III. Obamacare has a carrot and a stick to get states to establish health-insurance exchanges. If they don’t, the federal government will set up exchanges for them without their input. If they do, the federal government will make tax credits and other subsidies available for state residents who buy insurance on the state exchanges.

The effect of these provisions taken together, however, is that opponents of Obamacare can cripple it by blocking the creation of state exchanges. The federal government can then put its own exchanges in place, but it won’t be able to offer tax credits and subsidies for people who buy insurance on them. The legislation authorizes the credits and subsidies only for exchanges established by states. Since the credits also trigger heavy taxes on employers, states may have an additional reason not to create exchanges.

In May, the Obama administration’s IRS announced that it would make the credits and subsidies available to federally established exchanges. Defenders of its stance argue that Congress meant to accomplish this result, even if it did not actually write that desire into law. The IRS is thus placing new taxes on employers in states that have not set up exchanges even though no statute authorizes those taxes.

Libya. The Constitution vests Congress with the power to declare war. It does not require it to follow a particular verbal formula in doing so. The Iraq and Afghan wars followed the constitutional command even though Congress did not formally declare war, because Congress did authorize war. In Libya, however, Congress never voted for the military to do anything.

There are circumstances in which the commander-in-chief can engage the military in hostilities without congressional action. Nobody believes a vote would have to be taken for the president to organize resistance to an invasion of the United States. In this instance, however, the president involved the country in military action without any plausible claim that a vital American security interest was at stake. Congressional (and journalistic) debate on the propriety of this action mostly referred to Obama’s defiance of the War Powers Act, which he preposterously claimed to be following. That act is itself, however, of dubious constitutionality. The real issue is this: If the president may do what Obama did in Libya, the Constitution’s provision about congressional war powers is a dead letter.

Recess appointments. On January 4, President Obama made three appointments to the National Labor Relations Board and one to the Consumer Financial Protection Board. These were “recess appointments,” made under the president’s power to fill jobs when the Senate is not in session to provide its advice about and consent to his nominations. In this case, however, the Senate was in session. Under the Constitution neither chamber of Congress can adjourn for long without the consent of the other, and the Republican-controlled House forced the Senate to hold pro forma sessions to stop Obama from being able to make appointments without getting Senate approval.

The administration’s legal position is that the president can determine that the Senate is out of session even when it says it is in session. It says that the Senate is not “capable” of exercising its constitutional functions during these pro forma sessions. Senator Mike Lee (R., Utah), a former Supreme Court clerk who has been Obama’s toughest critic on the issue, points out that this argument is clearly incorrect: The Senate can pass bills and confirm nominees if it so chooses, even if it does not intend to conduct major business.

In the court of public opinion, the administration’s defenders press a different argument: The Republicans had subverted norms of good government by using the filibuster to block appointees, and in the case of the CFPB they had done so to force changes to the statute — an unprecedented tactic. But norms can’t trump constitutional rules, and in any case the CFPB itself breaks precedents. It is an independent agency, free of accountability to the executive or legislative branches of government, on steroids: Its director doesn’t answer to the president or a board, and its funding does not come from Congress. Appointing someone to run the CFPB when the Senate has refused to confirm him compounds the problem.

Some themes emerge from this list. In most of these cases, President Obama has bypassed Congress, rewriting laws or appointing nominees without its consent. (Even at the height of liberal power in the capital, in 2009–10, Congress was not going to enact a law making Notre Dame cover abortion drugs.) In most of these cases, too, his actions have been unprecedented. Not only has nobody taken them before, nobody has even suggested they would be legitimate before. No other president has made recess appointments during a pro forma session of the Senate, for example.

Obama’s predecessor had his constitutional lapses, too, as when he signed, and instructed his administration to defend in court, a set of campaign-finance regulations that he had previously recognized as unconstitutional. The Constitution has been imperfectly honored through most of our history, and there is no foolproof mechanism imaginable for enforcing it.

This president is testing the limits of our system. Note that our list of unconstitutional novelties includes five administration actions from the first eight months of 2012 alone. The public can put an end to this aggression in November. If Obama is reelected, especially with an uncooperative Congress, we can expect more of it.

Judge Targeted by Trump to Preside Over Deported DREAMer Case

U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel urged a quick trial for Juan Manuel Montes

    Thousands of undocumented students allowed to legally stay in the U.S. through DACA are afraid they may be deported. This fear comes after a 23-year-old DACA recipient, Juan Montes, was deported recently. NBC 7’s Katia Lopez-Hodoyan has more. (Published Wednesday, April 19, 2017)

    A federal judge who has been a frequent target of President Donald Trump's scorn on Tuesday urged a quick trial for a Mexican man who had been shielded from being deported from the U.S. and claims he was wrongly expelled.

    Juan Manuel Montes, 23, is the first known participant in the five-year-old Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program to be deported under Trump, according to supporters.

    The government has approved nearly 1.8 million DACA permits, including renewals, since President Barack Obama introduced them in 2012 for immigrants who came to the country as young children and performed well.

    The administration says Montes left the U.S. voluntarily, causing the loss of his protected status.

    Trump Will Be Respectful to DACA 'Dreamers': Spokesman

    [NATL-DGO] Trump 'Has a Huge Heart', Will Be Respectful to DACA 'Dreamers': Spokesman
    White House spokesperson Sean Spicer described President Donald Trump as having a huge heart when it comes to the children in the U.S. DACA program.
    (Published Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2017)

    Montes' case doesn't address the program's legal or policy merits, focusing instead on a dispute about what happened to Montes on the night of Feb. 18.

    U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel made clear from the outset that the crux of the case was whether agents wrongly captured and deported him or if he left on his own.

    Montes said he finished dinner with a friend and was seeking a ride home in the California border town of Calexico when a Border Patrol agent stopped him.

    When Montes failed to produce identification, he says agents questioned him for two hours in a building and drove him after midnight to the border with orders to walk into neighboring Mexicali, Mexico, without giving him any paperwork.

    Both sides agree on what happened next: Montes tried to return to the United States the following night by jumping the border fence in Calexico, was caught by Border Patrol agents and deported to Mexico.

    The Department of Homeland Security said it has no record that authorities deported Montes two nights earlier and insists that he crossed into Mexico voluntarily, violating a provision of the protective program that requires advanced permission to leave the country.

    Seattle 'Dreamer' Arrested Despite DACA Status

    [NATL] Seattle 'Dreamer' Arrested Despite DACA Status

    Daniel Ramirez Medina, 23, was brought to the U.S. illegally as a child but was protected from deportation under former President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was arrested in Seattle by ICE agents on Feb. 10, 2017.

    (Published Thursday, Feb. 16, 2017)

    The judge proposed a trial in four to six weeks, a highly ambitious schedule that appeared to catch attorneys from both sides off guard. Curiel said he anticipated that Montes would be paroled into the United States for the trial and that it would be important to see the Mexican man's "demeanor" in court.

    Montes' attorneys said they would be interested in interviewing Border Patrol agents and witnesses and reviewing any surveillance video before trial. A government attorney said he wanted to interview Montes.

    Curiel ordered the two sides to return to his courtroom Wednesday to discuss how to get the case to trial.

    Curiel previously approved a settlement in a separate case for Trump to pay $25 million to end lawsuits alleging fraud at his now-defunct Trump University. As the Republican presidential front-runner last year, Trump suggested that the Indiana-born jurist's Mexican heritage prevented him from being impartial.

    Montes, who came to the United States when he was 9, graduated from high school in 2013 and pursued a welding degree at a community college, according to his lawsuit. He then worked two years picking crops in California and Arizona.

    He qualified for the DACA program in 2014 and renewed his status for two years in 2016. He currently lives in Mexico.

    Obama: Most in US Don't Want Immigrant Kids Deported

    [NATL-DGO] Obama: Most Americans Don't Want DACA Youth Deported
    In his news conference Monday, President Barack Obama explained why he thinks most Americans would support keeping DACA youth, known as "DREAMers" in the U.S.
    (Published Monday, Nov. 14, 2016)

    The Trump administration has sent mixed signals on DACA's future, allowing the program to continue but saying its fate is undecided. Several state attorneys general are threatening a legal challenge.

"The war on coal is over," EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt declared in the coal mining state of Kentucky

    Environmental Groups Denounce Trump Override of Climate Plan
    Michael S. Williamson/The Washington Post via Getty Images
    This file photo shows a former coal mine operation sitting idle near Hazard, Kentucky. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt said Monday, Oct. 9, 2017, that the Trump administration will withdraw from an Obama-era clean power plan to slow global warming.

    A coalition of left-leaning states and environmental groups are vowing to fight the Trump administration's move to kill an Obama-era effort to limit carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants.

    Speaking Monday in the coal-mining state of Kentucky, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt said he would be issuing a new set of rules overriding the Clean Power Plan, the centerpiece of President Barack Obama's drive to curb global climate change.

    "The war on coal is over," Pruitt declared, adding that no federal agency should ever use its authority to "declare war on any sector of our economy."

    It was not immediately clear if Pruitt would seek to issue a new rule without congressional approval, which Republicans had criticized the Obama administration for doing. Pruitt's rule wouldn't become final for months, and is then highly likely to face a raft of legal challenges.

    Raqqa's Devastation Shows Entire Neighborhoods Destroyed

    [NATL] Raqqa's Devastation Shows Entire Neighborhoods Destroyed

    Shells of buildings, concrete slabs littering dust-choked streets and destroyed cars are all that is left of whole neighborhoods in Raqqa, Syria, after weeks of fighting and bombings between Islamic State militants and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, backed by the U.S.

    (Published Friday, Oct. 20, 2017)

    New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman was among those who said they will sue.

    "The Trump Administration's persistent and indefensible denial of climate change — and their continued assault on actions essential to stemming its increasing devastation — is reprehensible, and I will use every available legal tool to fight their dangerous agenda," said Schneiderman, a Democrat.

    For Pruitt, getting rid of the Clean Power Plan will mark the culmination of a long fight he began as the elected attorney general of Oklahoma. Pruitt was among about two dozen attorney generals who sued to stop Obama's 2014 push to limit carbon emissions, stymieing the limits from ever taking effect.

    Closely aligned with the oil and gas industry in his home state, Pruitt rejects the consensus of scientists that man-made emissions from burning fossil fuels are the primary driver of global climate change.

    President Donald Trump, who appointed Pruitt and shares his skepticism of established climate science, promised to kill the Clean Power Plan during the 2016 campaign as part of his broader pledge to revive the nation's struggling coal mines.

    In his order Tuesday, Pruitt is expected to declare that the Obama-era rule exceeded federal law by setting emissions standards that power plants could not reasonably meet.

    Pruitt appeared at an event with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell at Whayne Supply in Hazard, Kentucky, a company that sells coal mining supplies. The store's owners have been forced to lay off about 60 percent of its workers in recent years.

    While cheering the demise of the Clean Power Plan as a way to stop the bleeding, McConnell conceded most of those lost jobs are never coming back.

    "A lot of damage has been done," said McConnell, a Kentucky Republican. "This doesn't immediately bring everything back, but we think it stops further decline of coal fired plants in the United States and that means there will still be some market here."

    Obama's plan was designed to cut U.S. carbon dioxide emissions to 32 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. The rule dictated specific emission targets for states based on power-plant emissions and gave officials broad latitude to decide how to achieve reductions.

    The Supreme Court put the plan on hold last year following legal challenges by industry and coal-friendly states. Even so, the plan helped drive a recent wave of retirements of coal-fired plants, which are also being squeezed by low cost natural gas and renewable power. In the absence of stricter federal regulations curbing greenhouse gas emissions, many states have issued their own mandates promoting energy conservation.

    The withdrawal of the Clean Power Plan is the latest in a series of moves by Trump and Pruitt to dismantle Obama's legacy on fighting climate change, including the delay or roll back of rules limiting levels of toxic pollution in smokestack emissions and wastewater discharges from coal-burning power plants.

    Patriots Owner Robert Kraft Teams Up With Nike for Charity

    [NATL] Just for Kicks: Patriots Owner Robert Kraft Teams Up With Nike for Charity

    New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has teamed up with Nike to celebrate the Pats Super Bowl LI victory over the Atlanta Falcons. The Nike RKK Air Force 1 Flyknit is the fourth collaboration between Kraft and the sneaker company.

    (Published Thursday, Oct. 19, 2017)

    On Thursday, Trump nominated former coal-industry lobbyist Andrew Wheeler to serve as Pruitt's top deputy at EPA — one of several recent political appointees at the agency with direct ties to the fossil fuel interests.

    The president announced earlier this year that he will pull the United States out of the landmark Paris climate agreement. Nearly 200 countries have committed to combat global warming by reducing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.

    "This president has tremendous courage," Pruitt said Monday. "He put America first and said to the rest of the world we are going to say no and exit the Paris Accord. That was the right thing to do."

    Despite the rhetoric about saving coal, government statistics show that coal mines currently employ only about 52,000 workers nationally — a modest 4-percent uptick since Trump became president. Those numbers are dwarfed by the jobs created by building such clean power infrastructure as wind turbines and solar arrays.

    Environmental groups and public health advocates quickly derided Pruitt's decision as short sighted.

    "Trump is not just ignoring the deadly cost of pollution, he's ignoring the clean energy deployment that is rapidly creating jobs across the country," said Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club.

In wartime Britain, an oil-rationing poster asked: IS YOUR JOURNEY REALLY NECESSARY? Of the four young men who founded the magazine n+1, I have to ask: is your journal really necessary? It may be in the public interest to save ink for a worthier cause.

Well, “journal” may not be quite the right word. N+1, which debuted in Fall 2004 and is published twice a year, does look like a journal. It’s very close to the trim size of the magazine you’re holding now; like The New Criterion, it’s text-heavy, though it includes with every piece a black and white illustration. The three issues published thus far each run to nearly 200 pages.

But none of this makes n+1 a journal. Cahiers du jour might be the appropriate term for what is, as of this writing, the latest overhyped, must-have accessory of the self-styled “smart set.”...

NHD‐0420CW‐AG3: blinking part of text?
« on: March 02, 2016, 07:06:21 AM »
I have one more question about the NHD‐0420CW‐AG3 OLED display: is it possible to make some text blink?

I'm using the display to control a machine, and in some situations, I want to show the word 'PAUSED' blinking, with the rest of the text static. I found blink on/off functions for the cursor and for the display as a whole, but not for just part of the text, e.g. defined like this:

[text (static)]
[command: blink enable]
[text (blinking)]
[command: blink disable]
[text (static)]

Or do I have to take care of this myself, periodically overwriting the blink text with spaces?

Thanks once more in advance,

Richard Rasker

Unfortunately there are no commands that allow you to partially make text blink.
You will have to delete and rewrite the text you would want blinking.

You can blink the user-defined characters.  Check out the US2066 controller manual, available from the product description page.
If you're not otherwise using those characters, you coud redefine them any time you want - so long as you don't need more than 8 different characters/letters at the same time.  Also, make sure you are using one of the fonts that lets you "see" the CGRAM characters.   Look at the Function Selection B command and Section 5.13.

Buhari Rejects Petrol Price Hike

President Muhammadu Buhari is reported to have opposed a new petrol price template for the country.

Reuters news agency said presidency sources told it Buhari informed Dr Ibe Kachikwu, the minister of state for petroleum and Group managing director of the NNPC, Dr. Makanti Baru at a meeting in Abuja.

Reuters did not give a specific date of the meeting, but said it took place last week.

Reuters said NNPC officials’ meeting with the president followed an earlier one among former GMDs of the national oil company. The ex-GMDs purportedly considered a review of the current N145 per litre price  of petrol due to the devaluation of the Naira and attendant increase in importation cost.

The New Cassel woman who admitted drowning her three children in a bathtub will appear in a Nassau courtroom next month in her quest to gain a portion of her dead children's $350,000 estate, the judge on the case said Thursday.

Leatrice Brewer, 33, who admitted to the 2008 drownings and pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect in 2009, has been in a secure facility upstate since. But she is seeking a portion of the wrongful-death settlements paid by Nassau County to the children's estates.

"Leatrice Brewer will be in court because of the arguments and the potential that a decision will be made," Nassau Surrogate Edward W. McCarty III said in a pretrial hearing.

Brewer drowned her three children one by one, then laid them in a row on her bed and attempted suicide by ingesting a combination of bleach, Windex, OxiClean and a bottle of aspirin, prosecutors have said. She woke up the next morning and tried to kill herself again by jumping out of the second-story window of her apartment, prosecutors said. She then called 911 and confessed to killing the children.

Innocent Demesyeux, the father of two of the children -- Michael Demesyeux, 5, and Innocent Demesyeux Jr., 18 months -- settled a lawsuit against the county in 2011 for $250,000, claiming that social service caseworkers could have done more to save them. A lawsuit filed on behalf of the estate of the third child, Jewell Ward, 6, was settled in 2012 for $100,000.

Even if Brewer is successful in her quest, she cannot keep the money because the state holds a $1.2 million lien on her assets to cover the cost of her treatment and board at the psychiatric facility.

McCarty scheduled oral arguments for Nov. 6. The judge also required the attorneys representing Brewer, the children and other family members, to turn in legal briefs. He also admitted as evidence a psychiatric report on Brewer, the grand jury minutes and statements Brewer made to the first officer on the scene of the drownings.

Kenneth J. Weinstein, a court-appointed attorney for the deceased children's half-siblings, said Brewer's police statements show her "vivid culpability" in the children's deaths.

The judge also ruled against a request from lawyers representing Brewer to block the public, including the news media, from the proceedings. Jennifer F. Hillman and Peter K. Kelley, the court-appointed attorneys for Brewer, argued that the courtroom be closed in order to "maintain confidentiality" of Brewer's health records.The judge said there is "extraordinary" interest in the case. "The public has a right to know," McCarty said.

Manicure, massage and marksmanship.

A proposed combination shooting range and spa on Sunrise Highway in Lynbrook is meeting resistance from residents and village officials who aren’t ready to embrace the concept.

Queens-based ISS Action Inc. has submitted an application for a special use permit to convert the Cutler’s Lighting building at 817 Sunrise Hwy. into a shooting range, massage and nail parlor, archery range and sporting goods shop.

ISS chief executive Pamela Newman said the shooting range would only train professional security officers and would not be open to the public. Her concept is to provide spa services to family members of officers and also open a sporting goods store and archery range for all ages.

ISS has contracts to train security agents with the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Transportation, NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency, Newman said.

“I think the public is concerned that there are guns and somehow that’s unsafe for children, but this is exactly the opposite. The people coming here are trained professionals,” Newman said.

Residents opposed to the project said they’re concerned about noise and safety from the gun range; and traffic, parking and environmental issues, such as lead in the air and soil, from repeated gunfire. Residents who live within 200 feet of the site were notified last month by the village of the application and a public information hearing.

Joseph Gallo, 33, who lives about a block from the proposed site, said the shooting range shares property lines with homes and is within a half-mile of schools, senior assisted living facilities and religious establishments.

“It’s kind of a weird situation to have a shooting range of any kind next to these places,” Gallo said. “Our officials decided to raise the stature of the village. It feels like this diminishes that a bit.”

Newman said the property is zoned as commercial and she has completed multiple studies from traffic and environmental experts to follow legal procedures and certify her application. She held a March 21 informational session with residents, but was met with opposition from residents and Lynbrook Mayor William Hendrick. Residents say they have a petition with more than 1,200 signatures opposing the project and asking the village to reject the proposal.

“There will not be a gun range in the Village of Lynbrook unless additional evidence is provided to us that demonstrates that this is somehow beneficial to the Lynbrook Community as a whole,” Hendrick said in a statement.

Newman accused the mayor of discrimination and inflaming residents.

“I need to use a commercially zoned area facing the LIRR and it doesn’t get more commercial than that,” Newman said of the Lynbrook site. “I feel like I’m being discriminated against as a woman and denied my basic rights.”

The village board is to vote on the application May 2.

Sustainable Food Sustainable Food

Sustainable food involves considering all the environmental impacts of food: production, packaging, transport, refrigeration and disposal /recycling. The following highlights some impacts and gives tips to enable more sustainable food choices.

  • Every year Australia sends more than 4 million tonnes of food waste to landfill - fresh food, left-overs, takeaways, packaged food, frozen food and long-life products which have an estimated value of $5.2 billion. Read the National Food Waste Assessment Report - 2011 for further information.
  • Fossil fuels are used in the production of food – such as in pesticides, fertilisers and fuel for machinery. Fossil fuels are also used in transportation and refrigeration of food. In landfill, waste food produces methane which is a significant greenhouse gas, trapping 25 times more heat than carbon dioxide.
  • The average home waste bin contains approximately 40% food waste. Composting or creating a worm farm will reduce emissions and a garden will benefit.
  • Food miles - This term is used to describe how far food has travelled before it reaches the home. The average Australian produce and pantry items travel approximately 1,200km. By buying locally-grown seasonal and organic produce, the pollution generated through transported food is reduced, local farms are supported and people consume healthier, fresher food. Growing fruit and vegetables and keeping chickens in the backyard are all ways people can reduce their own impact.
  • More than 70% of all seafood in Australia comes from overseas (fish that is labelled MSC- certified). The Marine Stewardship Council label indicates a product that contains fish caught using sustainable fishing practices. A sustainable seafood App is available at Australia's Sustainable Seafood Guide website.
  • Reducing meat consumption - The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report shows that approximately 14.5% of the world’s GHG emissions derive from livestock. That is the same amount of GHG emissions generated by the world’s transport sector. Around 30% of the crops produced worldwide are grown to feed livestock. By reducing meat consumption and not supporting intensive factory farming meat production will reduce emissions.
  • Avoiding products containing palm oil - Palm oil is found in about half of the packaged products on the supermarket shelves. This includes biscuits, cakes, soap, ice-cream and ready-to-eat meals. It is used as a base for shampoo, soap and cleaning products. Oil plantations have been the cause of widespread deforestation. More than 90% of orangutan habitat has been destroyed in the last 20 years. To find out what products contain palm oil visit Zoos Victoria website.
  • Bottled water - More than $500M is spent on bottled water in Australia annually, with most water packaged in plastic. Three litres of water is used to produce 1 litre of bottled water. Manufacturing, transporting, refrigerating, recycling and disposing of plastic bottles consumes fossil fuels and produces greenhouse gas emissions. Clean-up Australia has found that although plastic water bottles can be recycled, only 36% are. It is estimated that 373 million water bottles each year end up in landfill or in waterways, oceans and bushland.

EPA Proposal Leaves California Children at Risk from Neurotoxic Pesticide

After 7 years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a revised safety assessment of the highly neurotoxic pesticide chlorpyrifos. Unfortunately, even with this new assessment, the EPA won't provide the health protections that Californians need. Despite multiple studies that link chlorpyrifos exposures to harmful effects on the development and learning capacity of children, the EPA concluded that current uses of the pesticide can continue.

But EPA's assessment failed to account for the increased risks faced by rural and farm children, leaving them in jeopardy of continued unsafe chlorpyrifos exposures. All kids, rural or urban, may eat or drink food and water contaminated with chlorpyrifos. But in California's agricultural communities, there is often little separation between farms and the places where children live, learn, and play—homes, schools, and playgrounds may be right next to the fields where chlorpyrifos is sprayed. For example, an analysis by the California Department of Health found that chlorpyrifos was used within a quarter mile of 430 schools, many with predominantly Latino student populations.

This means that rural and farm children, on top of the chlorpyrifos they consume in food and water, confront additional chlorpyrifos exposures from the pesticide drifting off fields. Indeed, testing regularly finds evidence of chlorpyrifos in the air, water, and dust in people's homes in agricultural communities.

Aerial application of a pesticide. This method can make pesticides more prone to drifting off fields and into neighboring communities.

Furthermore, family members who work on farms can carry pesticides residues home in their vehicles, clothes and shoes, resulting in yet another source of exposure for kids in these communities.

Yet EPA's assessment ignored all of these extra threats for children in agricultural communities, and so fails to keep all our nation's children equally safe.

Scientists and public health advocates will be carefully reviewing EPA's assessment and asking the agency to correct the deficiencies. But in the meantime, to protect California's children, the California Department of Pesticide Regulation must not rely on EPA's faulty assessment. Instead, it must fulfill its duty to assure that pesticides like chlorpyrifos are used in a manner that does not cause harm to human health by completing its California-focused chlorpyrifos evaluation that has been stalled for more than a decade.

California is a state known for leading the nation with new, innovative, 'green' and healthier solutions—but chlorpyrifos is definitely not the cream of the crop. It's an outdated chemical with its roots in the poisons developed during World War II, and more than a million pounds of chlorpyrifos are used in California each year on a wide variety of crops including, citrus, broccoli, nuts, and grapes. California's agricultural bounty must not be at the expense of the health and well-being of its children, and we can do better.

Pre- and Post-Surgery Health

Also indexed as:Perioperative Health, Surgery (Health Before and After)
The road to recovery starts with understanding what your body needs before, during, and after surgery. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may be helpful.
Pre- and Post-Surgery Health: Main Image

About This Condition

Major surgery causes serious stress to the body. The body’s immune system is weakened and gastrointestinal function is changed after major surgery, leaving the body vulnerable to infection and in a state of nutritional insufficiency.1 Steps can be taken using natural approaches to strengthen the body before and after surgery, enhance defenses, prevent complications, and speed recovery.

Healthy Lifestyle Tips

Smoking compromises overall health and is associated with poorer outcomes of many types of surgery.2, 3, 4 Smoking may lessen the nausea and vomiting commonly experienced after surgery due to effects of anesthesia, according to a preliminary study,5 but the disadvantages far outweigh this single possible benefit.

Holistic Options

Acupressure can be used to prevent nausea and vomiting. Wristbands designed to apply pressure to acupuncture points on the forearm were shown to effectively prevent post-operative nausea and vomiting in seven controlled trials6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and were as effective as an antinausea medication in another.12 One controlled trial found no benefit from acupressure wristbands.13Acupuncture14 and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) of a wrist acupuncture point15 have also been shown to be effective for post-operative nausea and vomiting in controlled trials. A controlled comparison study found that electroacupuncture of the wrist points controlled post-operative nausea and vomiting as well as antinausea medication and better than TENS, but both electro-acupuncture and TENS helped more than no treatment.16 A comprehensive review of research on acupuncture, electroacupuncture, TENS, acupoint stimulation, and acupressure for post-operative nausea and vomiting found these techniques to be more effective than placebo and as effective as commonly prescribed medications in adults but not in children.17 However, laser stimulation of the acupuncture points on the wrists both before and after surgery was effective for children in one controlled trial.18

Malawi govt should publish ‘Cashgate’ names in public interest

The Anti-corruption Bureau (ACB) director has joined the Auditor General in refuting allegations that seven ministers are among those named in the K239 billion looting of government coffers. On the advice of the Attorney General, the Auditor General has been coy to release the names involved in cash gate.

Let the ministers implicated be investigated

Let the ministers implicated be investigated

Both the Auditor General and ACB director have insisted that the report does not include the names of ministers.  However, the outspoken MP for Rumphi East and Peoples’ Party third-vice president Kamlepo Kalua still insists that the report, which parliament has also in possession, has names of seven ministers. The issue has now degenerated into a circus with accusations and counter-accusations.

The issue of release of names mentioned in the report has gained public interest among Malawians. They want to know who the individuals and organisation are. The continued concealing of the names is not only undermining the credibility of the ACB and the DPP government, but also undermines the democratic principles of accountability and transparency.

Why is the ACB and government shielding the companies and individuals involved? This is a public interest issue because public funds are /were involved. The public is entitled to know. Defamation should not be used as an excuse to hide their names because the report does not suggest that they are guilty. But the mere fact that they are in the report their names should be mentioned. It is up to the court to vindicate them.

When Joyce Banda commissioned an audit into cash gate people’s names were mentioned. Those who had no case to answer were exonerated. Others were arrested, charged, prosecuted and subsequently jailed.

By hiding their names, the message government and the ACB is sending is that the people involved are “big” and government does not want to embarrassment them. This is also selective justice whereby those in power and their cohorts are untouchable.  Why should rich people, politicians and their cohorts get away with corruption?

Malawians want justice to be done. They are tired of corruption among government officials, political leaders and their cronies who are getting away with it with impunity. They should not be taken forgotten granted that the political support will always will be there.

Corruption and poor leadership are some of the cardinal reasons UDF lost political support. For example, UDF won 85 seats in 1994 general elections. But that support miserably plummeted when corruption and bad governance started eating the political fabric.

It will be extremely difficult for President Mutharika and his DPP to convince Malawians in the 2019 elections that they need another five year mandate unless they demonstrate evidence to clamp down on corruption in government and private sector, improve the lives of the citizens and good governance.

It is inconceivable that looting of government resources continues with impunity. The names of the ‘errant’ individuals and companies should be published in the public interest.

Do these DPP guys really believe that the seven cabinet ministers will be hidden forever? This issue will not die until we know who these hyenas are!
Actually just by seeing the way the govt is reacting…..any articulate Malawians can tell….we are about to catch very big fish with the Cashgate net!!!! Its just a matter of time.

Ok, if you don’t want to give us names, what are you doing about it?

It is now about two months since the report came out but nothing has been done. Not even dummy arrest or interrogations.

Gentlemen i have an idea. lets all strike for Peters resignation. The strike will be in form of permanent absondment from work. everybody who works,,lets stay home. in two days time there will be state of emergency forcing resignation of this idiot. We are tired.

To run a country is very cheap have a political Will period. There is only one leader in Malawi who is ready to conquer and face this giant Scratching off corruption, we call him anti-corruption campaigner no other than Dr Lazrous(Lazaro wathu) Chakwera woyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Wamva iwe Santana ndi Tman. It will be difficult for the thieves to ask for another five year terms if Mathanyula does not arrest the seven rotten minister and also if he does not prosecute these rotten minister means that there someone “big” in this cash gate. Koma kumenekooooooo!

Apart from the seven ministers in the report being shielded by the ACB ndi mtumbuka waku Usisya uja and mchewa waku Audit office, we need promises the DPP made in their manifesto audited as to the extent to which they have been delivered them. Asamangopitiliza kumatinamiza.Tayenera maso.NYAPHAPHI TILI NAYEYU NDIYE KAYATU! MBUZI YA MANO PALILIME

Mungatani ndi a Lomwe inu. The only judge is God and He is to fight for Malawi as He did that that time with KaNgwazi ka choko kaja.

No bail for Chasowa murder suspects, defence lawyer smells rat

Two young men arrested in connection with last year’s murder of Polytechnic student Robert Chasowa are yet to be formally charged by the court despite spending close to a fortnight at the Chichiri prison.

The two suspects, identified as Geoff ‘Dolph’ Botomani and Petro Tembo, were picked on July 15 but no reasons have been given by the police on why the two are being kept in custody.

The suspects were supposed to be brought into court on Monday for to be formally charged but the prosecution team led by Davie Mwete has not yet brought the two before the court.

This has raised more questions than answers on the part of defence lawyers that have been left with no option but to suspect that the state has hidden agenda.

Lawyer Chancy Gondwe: My clients are being held in an illegal detention

Illegal detention

Meanwhile,  the visibly frustrated attorney Chancy Gondwe told Nyasa Times after the case failed to commence that he strongly suspects the state has no evidence to link up the two to the murder of the university student hence the dilly dallying.

He therefore described the continued detention as” illegal “and not consistent with rules of natural justice.

“The whole of last week I have been coming here but it has been one excuse after the other. What is even more surprising is that the prosecution has not read to me the charges, it is very strange that my clients are in jail without being charged,” he said, adding “such practice by the police is illegal; I hope they know the legal consequences to that.”

Gondwe went further to say: “What is even more interesting is the fact that when we came in court today I was informed by the prosecution that my clients have been taken to undisclosed place for investigation.

“You mean all this time the suspects are being kept in detention without thorough investigations? I think that is now persecution,” fumed Gondwe.

Police tight lipped

While the police has not made any details to the public following the arrest of Botomani and Tembo, Nyasa Times sources in the police service said the two men, both in their 30s and Ndirande residents, are prime suspects into the murder of Chasowa.

However, both southern region spokesperson Nicholas Gondwa and his boss Davie Chingwalu have been tight lipped on the matter, claiming no action can be made on this case as an inquiry on the same is ongoing.

Coincidentally, Gondwa was spotted last Thursday in the court when magistrate Innocent Nebi told the court that he was going into a meeting hence could not preside over the case.

On Friday the case was adjourned on three occasions until later it was communicated that it would resume this week due to the presiding senior magistrate’s other commitments.

Implicate Masangwi

 Nyasa Times were the first to report about the arrest of the two and also understands that they have implicated former ruling DPP top official Noel Masangwi in the murder of Chasowa

Their arrest come at a time a commission of inquiry appointed by President Joyce Banda to investigate circumstances surrounding Chasowa’s death is in progress.

And an inquest into the death of Chasowa is underway at the Blantyre Magistrate’s Court.

An autopsy by Dr Charles Dzamalala of the College of Medicine in Blantyre showed that Chasowa died from assault to his head inflicted by a blunt instrument or instruments rather than a fall as was earlier claimed by police that he had committed suicide by jumping from a tall building at the campus.

He was found dead at the college on September 30 2011.
