Catholic Universities and Outside Groups
I have followed with great interest the discussion among several MOJ contributors regarding the Georgetown University Ministry decision regarding the Protestant ministry office. I do not have answers to the questions posed by Rick and Susan about Georgetown. I did, however, find the justification offered for the decision not to rely on "outside groups" to be rather thin. My reason for stating this is based on an examination of several Jesuit tradition university campus ministry websites, including Georgetown's. With hyperlinks from these sites, one can discover varying degrees of connections with many outside groups when it comes to a variety of programs including "social justice" volunteer opportunities. These links would apply to students of all faiths at these universities. In this category, one will come across links to the ACLU and Amnesty International. Some of these two organizations' existing programs or new programs under consideration challenge Catholic teachings on important subjects. Yet, these outside organizations are institutions to whom Catholic students are referred directly and indirectly by the Catholic chaplaincy offices. I wonder if anyone at Georgetown or other Jesuit tradition schools has considered the effects that such organizations could have on their Catholic students? Or, Protestant students? As I said, earlier, I really don't have answers to Susan's and Rick's questions. Rather, I have some new issues that may intensify discussion on this topic. RJA sj

Skeel on Christian Legal Theory
In Books & Culture, Penn law prof David Skeel reviews The Teachings of Modern Christianity on Law, Politics and Human Nature (a volume to which MoJ-er Patrick Brennan contributed) and notes the growing interest in exploring the intersection of Christianity and law:
From the early 20th century until the 1940s, evangelical Christians disengaged from American public life. Law schools were hostile territory, generally to be avoided. As a result, the few evangelical legal scholars tended to operate under cover, assiduously separating their faith and their scholarly life. By the 1970s, Presbyterian minister and apologist Francis Schaeffer and other evangelical leaders, building on the efforts of predecessors such as Carl Henry and Harold Ockenga, had begun asking why there weren't more Christian lawyers, doctors, and businessmen. The evangelical re-engagement that followed has spread to academic circles, but more slowly than to business and the professions. Even now, it is an unusual law school that has more than one or two scholars who identify themselves as Christians, and whose faith explicitly informs their scholarship.
The publication of The Teachings of Modern Christianity, and the major Pew Charitable Trust funding that launched the project, signifies the major change underway. With the visible influence of Catholic intellectuals and evangelical leaders on the current White House, there suddenly is a deep interest in perspectives on religion, politics, and law. Legal scholars are not oblivious to these developments, as reflected in the increasing numbers of law review articles with "Christianity" in the title. Much of the new scholarship, too much perhaps, emphasizes philosophy and philosophical theology at the expense of other methodologies. The bias is understandable. For a generation chastened by Mark Noll's brilliant indictment, The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, it's hard to resist the assumption that philosophy must be the truest and highest scholarly end.

Responding to Abortion
The rape and resulting pregnancy of an eleven year-old girl presents one of the more sympathetic cases for abortion rights. Nevertheless, the Catholic Church in Columbia has responded by excommunicating anyone involved in the girl's abortion, including the judges, legislators, politicians, and parents who made it possible. (HT: Open Book)
UPDATE: Hold on. The prelate denies saying that the parties involved will be excommunicated. But another interesting wrinkle emerges regarding a professional's right of conscience:
In May, Colombia's constitutional court legalized abortion in cases where fetuses were severely malformed, the pregnancy was the result of a rape or incest, or the mother's life was in danger. Initially, doctors refused to perform abortions, wary of later facing prosecution. But the court issued a ruling compelling doctors to abide by its decision if the woman's case fell within the criteria.
Where U.S. News Fears to Tread . . .
If you, like me, have been intrigued by the prospect of someday supplementing your legal education with graduate work in theology, you'll find R.R. Reno's informal ranking of theology programs very helpful.
California's new anti-discrimination law
Professor Friedman reports:
California Governor Signs GLBT Bias Bill With No Religious Exception
In California, the Campaign for Children and Families is criticizing Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's signing on Monday of SB 1441 that adds "sexual orientation" to the law that prohibits discrimination by any program that receives state financial assistance. Critics are concerned that there is no exception for religiously affiliated institutions. Religiously affiliated colleges enroll students who receive state financial aid, and many religiously affiliated children's day care centers and after-school programs receive state aid. CNSNews today, reporting on these developments, says that other bills calling for equal treatment of gays and lesbians are also pending in the California legislature.

Bainbridge on Wal-Mart
In the blogs and on the op-ed pages, it looks like the "Wal-Mart Debate" is heating up. Our own Steve Bainbridge has some interesting thoughts on the matter, here.
Church autonomy
In a case called New York City v. Fifth Ave. Presbyterian Church, No. 06-163, the City has filed a cert. petition which includes, according to U.S. Law Week, the following Question Presented:
> "Did the holding of Second Circuit that church's maintaining of nightly
> encampment on its steps is constitutionally protected religious conduct err
> by failing to consider that church's failure to provide security, toilets
> and sanitary facilities, and shelter from elements stands in direct
> contravention to religious doctrine of serving needy, which church cites as
> basis for maintaining encampment?"
Wow. "Please tell the Second Circuit to tell the church that it is wrong about its religion." (Thanks to Walter Weber for the news.)
The New Orleans Times-Picayune has a heartbreaking compilation of individuals' recollections of the day Katrina hit.
"The Taxman goes to church"
This Wall Street Journal piece reports that "[o]ver the past two years scores of organizations have faced scrutiny [from the IRS] for allegedly mixing their political convictions with their religious ones. And this summer the IRS expanded a program it first launched in 2004 to take direct aim at political advocacy inside houses of worship." It continues:
The new crackdown, which the IRS calls the Political Activity Compliance Initiative, has so far put some 15,000 nonprofits--mostly churches--on notice that preaching politics puts them at risk of audits, fines or, in some cases, the loss of tax-exempt status. The IRS has also announced it will no longer wait for complaints to come in, but will instead take action "to prevent violations." It will be reviewing the content of sermons, it says, as well as the financial books of religious organizations. The free exercise of religion could now come with a hefty bill.
I wrote a few months ago, in USA Today, that:
Religious leaders and activists have always spoken provocatively — and even prophetically — about faith's implications for citizens, candidates, policies and elections. Not surprisingly, these reminders often prompt criticism and resistance in the pews, the news media and the public square. But we should neither demand nor expect our faith commitments or religious ministers to tell us only what we want to hear, or always to assure us that we and the status quo are doing just fine. What's more, it should not be the place of government officials or IRS agents to impose and enforce a line between pastors' stirring sermons and partisan stump speeches. . . .
It is the regulation of the churches' expression, and not their expression itself, that should raise constitutional red flags. Religious institutions are not above the law, but a government that respects the separation of church and state should be extremely wary of telling churches and religious believers whether they are being appropriately "religious" or excessively "political" or partisan. Churches and congregants, not bureaucrats and courts, must define the perimeter of religion's challenges. It should not be for the state to label as electioneering, endorsement, or lobbying what a religious community considers evangelism, worship or witness.
Of course, there are good reasons — religious reasons — for clergy to be cautious and prudent when addressing campaigns, issues and candidates.
Reasonable people with shared religious commitments still can disagree about many, even most, policy and political matters. It compromises religion to not only confine its messages to the Sabbath but also to pretend that it speaks clearly to every policy question. A hasty endorsement, or a clumsy or uncharitable political charge, has no place in a house of worship or during a time of prayer — not because religion does not speak to politics, but because it is about more, and is more important, than politics.
See also this paper I wrote a while back, "A Quiet Faith? Taxes, Politics, and the Privatization of Religion":
The government exempts religious associations from taxation and, in return, restricts their putatively "political" expression and activities. This exemption-and-restriction scheme invites government to interpret and categorize the means by which religious communities live out their vocations and engage the world. But government is neither well suited nor to be trusted with this kind of line-drawing. What's more, this invitation is dangerous to authentically religious consciousness and associations. When government communicates and enforces its own view of the nature of religion, i.e., that it is a "private" matterand of its proper place, i.e., in the "private" sphere, not "in politics" it tempts believers and faith communities also to embrace this view. The result is a privatized faith, re-shaped to suit the vision and needs of government, and a public square evacuated of religious associations capable of mediating between persons and the state and challenging prophetically the government's claims and conduct.
Still more on Georgetown
Susan responds here to my post about the recent decision at Georgetown regarding outside Protestant ministries. Regarding my assumption that "Georgetown's campus-ministry office has similar policies with respect to outside Catholic ministries and organizations, like Opus Dei and Regnum Christi," Susan writes that "it appears that the change in policy is one that affects only the affiliated Protestant ministries operating at Georgetown, not any Catholic ones." I continue to suspect, though, that Georgetown's Office of Campus Ministry policies with respect to outside Catholic ministries like Opus Dei and Regnum Chrisi looks like the one recently adopted for outside Protestant ministries. Does anyone know for sure?

Congratulations, Terence Newman. DeAngelo Hall's offseason retirement elevated you to active NFL career leader for interceptions.
"Not even on my mind," the Vikings cornerback said coming off the practice field Monday.
That's 42 picks in 221 games heading into Season 16. Good for 67th place in NFL history, according to Pro Football Reference.
But you need 40 more to break the record of 81 that Hall of Fame safety Paul Krause posted in 226 games over 16 seasons with the Redskins (1964-67) and Vikings (1968-79).
Only eight active players are among the top 257 on the career interception list. Richard Sherman, who's 169th with 32 interceptions, is the youngest at 30. Newman turns 40 on Sept. 4.
The last time Krause didn't hold it outright was Dec. 12, 1979. It was a Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles.
Krause started against the Rams in Week 14. He was tied at 79 with former Giants and Packers safety Emlen Tunnell, who retired in 1961.
Krause had two interceptions in a 27-21 overtime loss. He played two more games and retired at 37 after the season.
Krause played 14 of his 16 seasons before the NFL opened up the passing game in 1978 with major rule changes, including illegal contact and permitting pass protectors to extend their arms and use their hands.
Pass attempts have been on the rise ever since. In 1977, teams averaged 24.9 attempts and 12.8 completions per game. Last year, teams averaged 34.2 attempts and 21.2 completions.
"It's a completely different game than even when I first came in back in 2003," Newman said. "When I first came in, they weren't calling illegal contact that much. I could have a hand on a guy and ride him all the way down the field.
Offenses have gotten more sophisticated and efficient. In 1977, teams completed an average of 51.3 percent of their passes with 13.9 touchdowns and 20.1 interceptions in a 14-game season. Forty years later, they completed 62.1 percent of their passes with 23.2 touchdowns and 13.4 interceptions. That's 6.7 fewer interceptions in two more games.
Krause attributes some of the dip in interceptions to coaching.
"People say the game has changed, and maybe it has," he said. "But defensive backs are still supposed to cover the receivers, and the receivers are still supposed to catch the ball.
According to Krause, the skills he needed to intercept 81 passes were sharpened by playing center field, which he did well enough at Iowa to earn All-America honors and a selection in the Major League Baseball draft.
Terence Newman is the NFL career leader in interceptions among active players.
As for Newman, injuries at the nickel corner spot have the Vikings leaning heavily on the old pro heading into the third preseason game on Friday.
"All is well," Newman said before leaving the field with one final thought on Krause's mark.

(AP) – SAT reading scores for the high school class of 2011 were the lowest on record, and combined reading and math scores fell to their lowest point since 1995.
The College Board, which released the scores Wednesday, said the results reflect the record size and diversity of the pool of test-takers. As more students aim for college and take the exam, it tends to drag down average scores.
Meanwhile, other tests taken by more representative groups of high school students have shown reading skills holding steadier. And in the context of the 800-point test, the three-point decline in reading scores to 497 may seem little more than a blip.
Still, it's just the second time in the last two decades reading scores have fallen as much in a single year. And reading scores are now notably lower than as recently as 2005, when the average was 508.
Average math scores for the class of 2011 fell one point to 514 and scores on the critical reading section fell two points to 489.
College Board officials pointed to a range of indicators that the test-taking pool has expanded, particularly among Hispanics, which is a good sign that more students are aspiring to college. For instance, roughly 27 percent of the 1.65 million test-takers last year came from a home where English was not the only language, up from 19 percent just a decade ago.
But the increasingly diverse group of test-takers is clearly having more trouble with reading and writing than with math. Wayne Camara, College Board vice president of research, said recent curriculum reforms that pushed math instruction may be coming at the expense of reading and writing — especially in an era when students are reading less and less at home.
"We're looking and wondering if (more) efforts in English and reading and writing would benefit" students, Camara said.
Gary Phillips, chief scientist at the American Institutes of Research, cautioned against using SAT scores as a way to measure national performance.
The College Board, a membership organization that owns the exam and promotes college access, also released its first "College and Career Benchmark" report, which it said would eventually be used to give states and school districts better data on how ready their students are for college. Based on research at 100 colleges, the College Board calculated that scoring 1550 or above on the three sections of the test indicated a 65-percent likelihood of attaining at least a B-minus average in the freshman year of college.
Overall, 43 percent of test-takers reached that benchmark. The College Board emphasized the tool is for policymakers, and shouldn't be used by college admissions officers to evaluate individual candidates.
The main message from the College Board was the importance of a rigorous curriculum, which is a strong and perhaps growing predictor of SAT scores.
For instance, nearly one in five students takes less than four years of high school English. That's about the same percentage as a decade ago, but it now makes a much bigger difference on SAT scores: The reading scores of those students have fallen from 500 to 462. Students who took AP and honors classes, meanwhile, score significantly higher across the board.
A decline in average scores isn't necessarily good news for top students who were applying to competitive colleges. The number of high scores is also increasing. For instance, the number of students with math scores of at least 700 is up 22 percent since 2007.
The SAT and rival ACT exam are taken by roughly the same number of students each year. Most colleges require scores from at least one of the exams but will consider either. In recent years, some colleges have adopted test-optional policies allowing applicants to decline to submit test scores at all.
The College Board, which charges $49 this year for the test, has faced criticism from some educators over fees. This year it says it had responded to the weak economy with more financial aid, granting 350,000 students fee waivers, an increase of 77 percent in the last four years.

Katie Davies Hannah Shaw Is a well-known author, some of his books are a fascination for readers like in the The Great Hamster Massacre book, this is one of the most wanted Katie Davies Hannah Shaw author readers around the world.
A funny and fabulous story of Anna's traumatic discovery one morning in her hamster cage. Death, loss and friendship are key themes in this very honest book told endearingly from a nine year old's perspective.
Fun, fast, frequently dark-humored and macabre reading.
you need to read this first to check if the topics/language are suitable for the kids who will read it, but as an adult i liked it.
This book is a little dark, but realistically dark (pets meet a grisly but natural end). It respects kids autonomy without making the adults complete non-characters. I am not in love with the narrative style for my own sake, but it's fun to share with kids.

Extreme Networks fills its cloud gap with Aerohive acquisition
The acquisition gives Extreme Networks an edge in cloud management and Wi-Fi 6
In some ways, software-driven networking company Extreme Networks' path to acquiring Aerohive Networks, a cloud-management networking company, began four years ago. That was when Extreme began assessing where its strengths and weakness were, Norman Rice, chief marketing, development and product operations officer at Extreme Networks, told RCR Wireless News.
After establishing that it excelled at providing in automation capabilities and customer intimacy, fueled by its investment in customer service and support, it discovered that one of its biggest gaps was in cloud and cloud management. Extreme's recent acquisition of Aerohive fills that gap, providing a strong subscription revenue stream and strengthening Extreme's position in wireless LAN at a critical technology transition to Wi-Fi 6.
"We were looking to give the customer the choice between an on-premises service, which we already provided, and a cloud-delivered system," Rice said. "[With the Aerohive acquisition], we've added not just cloud-managed Wi-Fi right at the time the market is transition to Wi-Fi 6, but we now also have a third–generation cloud management system that is giving us agile software development, allowing us to continue updating and upgrading our software."
It is only a few weeks into the acquisition and Rice said everything is going well. To avoid market confusion, he said, the Aerohive brand will be rolled into Extreme. "We are rebranding the Aerohive portfolio," Rice commented. "It will be simple and consistent."
Extreme has also transitioned Aerohive employees over to the company from two different departments: development and sales. Rice said this is because of Extreme's interest in maintaining Aerohive's edge when it comes to agile development and cloud marketing. "We want to make sure that we have not just the cloud technology, but the cloud delivery as well," he elaborated.
"Prior to the acquisition, Aerohive was selling a wireless access point, and then selling a cloud subscription to manage the system. By combining that subscription model with Extreme's existing software business, Extreme's mix of revenues from subscription-recurring revenue should expand to approximately 30%. That mix is healthier and more reliable," Rice said. "There is more predictability, and you can make more consistent and balanced investments."
As Rice mentioned, this acquisition has come to fruition right as Wi-Fi 6 is readying itself to disrupt the market. Critically, Aerohive recently delivered the industry's first trio of Wi-Fi 6 access points, along with the industry's first pluggable access point, providing an additional perk that Extreme believes will expand its position in the Wi-Fi market.
"While the benefit that resulted from the transition from Wi-Fi 4 to Wi-Fi 5 was incremental, the move to Wi-Fi 6 is going to be exponential in terms of difference," Rice said. "During the transition from Wi-Fi 4 to Wii-Fi 5, the microchips and devices were not maturing at the same rate as the Wi-Fi technology."
But, according to Rice, the industry is ready for Wi-Fi 6. "It is happening right at the time your phone is prepared for it," he said.
Rice said that Wi-fi 6 will provide an end user with a Wi-Fi experience that mirrors what one might expect from a mobile phone experience, but that the real feat of Wi-Fi 6 is how it is designed to support IoT and the modern enterprise.
Despite the clear impact it will have on enterprise, Rice says Wi-Fi 6 adoption is still slow. "Companies are still waiting for the Wi-Fi Alliance to make it official and a lot of companies don't want to build new infrastructure," he added.
Extreme, however, is making great strides in the Wi-Fi 6 space. "We made a commitment with Broadcom to be one of the early companies to go out with Wi-Fi 6 with them," Rice said.
Additionally, Extreme Networks is the official Wi-Fi provider for the NFL, and currently 25, soon to be 28, NFL stadiums use the company's Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi analytics solutions. As a number of sources have stated, stadiums, which are faced with the task of providing connectivity to thousands of devices simultaneously, are the ideal candidate to demonstrate the benefits of Wi-Fi 6.
"The acquisition of Aerohive and the implementation of agile development are crucial steps forward," Rice stated, "but we're not done yet."

Help us Heal The Sea – Savitri Jetoo
Åbo Akademi University's strategic research profile The Sea investigates models for maritime environment, society and economy, to ensure a continued wellbeing in accordance with The United Nations' goals for a sustainable development.
We asked our researchers how their research contributes to healing our seas.
Fifth out in our English version of the series is Savitri Jetoo, Adjunct Professor (Docent) who also works as a postdoctoral researcher at the department of Political Science, and within the multi-disciplinary profiling area The Sea. In 2019, she was awarded the Baltic Sea Science Day Award.
Adjunct Professor Savitri Jetoo, could you please describe what you are focusing on in your research?
"My research aims at providing a platform for developing an integrated perspective on resource governance, one that includes water governance and other key resource areas.
I envision that my research will help in building bridges across disciplines and across scales in the Baltic Sea Region, from local, to regional, national and global. Comparing the governance of the Baltic Sea with other areas such as the North American Great Lakes and the Chesapeake Bay can lead to lessons on what works in what context, why it works and what are some of the factors that lead to effective governance.
Some of my work has focused on comparing elements of governance across different water bodies; elements such as innovative governance, capacity, policy coherence, regulatory frameworks and stakeholder engagement. My work comparing the Baltic Sea and the North American Great Lakes has shed light on the ways in which water governance is shaped across these different settings.
Future research topics include theoretical frameworks and methodological improvements capturing the complexity of resource governance systems, stakeholders, institutions and other comparative studies.
I believe that an improved scientific understanding of the complexities of resource governance will strengthen the policy guidelines that are urgently needed for governance reforms to address the 'wicked' problems of the future in the Baltic Sea Region and beyond.
Like the COVID-19 pandemic, wicked problems such as climate change and eutrophication that challenge the Baltic Sea are characterized by uncertainty, no easy solutions and represent diverse stakeholder interests."

With little in my sketchbook so far this course, I thought it would be interesting to revisit some samples and use them as drawing tools. What more would I discover about them?
Sample p1-15 (30-March-2015). Can I capture the shapes formed when crumpling by using it to print on paper?
First a general crumple, and blue.
Recrumpled and some ribs added. Tore the paper slightly where it was damp. Need to be careful.
Actually it was two lots of red – the first was rather dark, being mixed with the blue.
Wanting the crumpled paper to last for a few more prints, I spread it out to dry for a while.
I like it more in real life, where it's easier to see the dimensionality of the page, which lets the paint distribution make more sense somehow.
The next was meant to be lots of little sub-peaks. It gets harder and harder to see the form as more chaotic colour is applied.
Golden yellow applied, again in two lots with the second a clearer colour.
I don't feel this is getting anywhere. It's all a bit muddled and formless. The blue looks out place. It could be used as a background element, adding a bit of texture and interest without fighting for attention.
Wanting to push a bit further, rather than just moving on to the next thing. How to add something coherent? I thought of the linear accordion folds. Wandered on to Blue Poles (see 26-December-2013).
Try for lines, not entirely parallel, in a dark blue-black.
After rolling on the paint I pulled the folds out, to get positive and negative areas in the printing.
Dreary. The page was underneath the crumpled paper as I was rolling the paint, and the edge parts are stronger than the print itself (of course!), destroying any sense of order. Overall I got some OK textures, but not the history of a sequence of events that I wanted.
The crumped paper is more interesting, at least in areas. The colour is stronger, and the slightly more formal patterning in the final dark layer.
Almost all the colour is on one side. I noted this as I was working, but didn't try to control it one way or another. Looking at areas within the page there are a few with attractive colour mixing and/or patterning.
I ironed the crumpled paper, with the ideas of clarifying the patterning produced and that there was potential to use the paper elsewhere – for example suitably strengthened with medium of some kind it could be used on book covers.
There is still physical texture. The paper feels more stable and usable. I don't think it could stand up to stitching, plus at the moment can't think of anything it could enhance or to enhance it.
Next I wanted to try the old classic of the rolling ball, but using my filigree ball of plastic (see 16-April-2015). Considered using a different background, but wanted to get a general idea of the effect first, so continued to work on A3 cartridge paper.
Black paint applied with a brush, and ball rolled over paper.
O dear. More paint on my hands than the paper.
I added some red paint to the tray, and applied it by rolling the ball in it.
I have a photo of the result (of course!), but there's so little change it's not worth including.
Some scarlet paint added, then dipped ball into paint and directly dabbed onto paper, rolling slightly but with hand pressure ongoing.
No improvement, so no photo.
Added golden yellow. Left it in a thick blob on the tray and dipped the ball in, pressing down and rotating in place. Then did the same press and rotate on the page, concentrating on spot areas.
Not thrilled, and couldn't see a way of taking it forward. Might try some computer work on it later.
Annoyingly, the next idea came as I was cleaning up. So back out with some paint, this time using some random bits of leftover plastic as stamps.
Again, disappointing at first. I tried a few more bits.
I've arrowed the most interesting bit, plus the plastic fragment that made it.
Overall a disappointing session, but important in that at least I'm back to it.

Get To Know Andrew Wheeler, Ex-Coal Lobbyist With Inside Track To Lead EPA
By Rebecca Hersher • Jul 6, 2018
Andrew Wheeler, the Environmental Protection Agency's deputy and soon-to-be acting administrator
Courtesy Eric Vance/USEPA / Reuters
Originally published on July 6, 2018 7:40 pm
After months spent staggering beneath the weight of roughly a dozen official ethics probes, mounting bipartisan criticism and one used mattress, Scott Pruitt decided to lay down his mantle as chief of the Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday. But his leadership role didn't stay vacant long.
In the very same pair of tweets announcing Pruitt's departure, President Trump named the man who would be taking his place — for now, at least: Andrew Wheeler, the longtime Washington insider confirmed by the Senate as Pruitt's deputy in April. Come Monday, Wheeler will be the agency's acting chief.
"I have no doubt that Andy will continue on with our great and lasting EPA agenda," Trump tweeted Thursday. "We have made tremendous progress and the future of the EPA is very bright!"
In figuring out how that future might take shape, it's worth a look at the past of the man Trump just entrusted with shaping it. So, who is Andrew Wheeler?
We took a look at his backstory before his confirmation in the spring, when he was still just Trump's nominee for the deputy job. Here's a quick review: Wheeler ...
Began his career in environmental law at the EPA, as a special assistant in the agency's toxics office during President George H.W. Bush's administration.
Spent years playing various roles on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, which oversees the EPA, drafting regulations on chemical safety, air and water pollution and climate change — generally seeking to reduce government regulations on industries that generate greenhouse gases.
Served as longtime aide to Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., whom you may recall from the 2015 floor speech in which he rebutted climate change science with a snowball.
After leaving Congress, worked for years as a lobbyist for some of the largest coal, chemical and uranium companies in the U.S. — including the uranium mining firm that pushed for the reduction of Bears Ears National Monument, which is near one of its processing facilities.
As the CV may suggest, Wheeler is no stranger to the intricacies of environmental policy or the kinds of tasks that await him at the top of the EPA.
"He is not an accidental administrator. He is somebody who has been preparing for a position of responsibility like this really for all of his life," says Scott Segal, an attorney who has been working on environmental policy for a quarter century.
"I've known Andy a long time," he adds. "I think he's a very smart and careful student of environmental law — there's no two ways about that."
And Wheeler has presented himself as a consensus builder: "I will turn to the career staff and ask their advice and listen to them," he told the EPW committee during a confirmation hearing last fall for EPA deputy.
Yet for many critics, who have watched with apprehension as Wheeler ascended the EPA ladder, that kind of experience and approach is beside the point.
"We have in Andrew Wheeler someone who has made a career out of trying to block everything we've done to try to protect our children from the growing dangers of climate change — a person who has made a career out of trying to push back against common-sense safeguards to protect the air we breathe from dangerous chemicals like mercury, arsenic and others," says Bob Deans of the Natural Resources Defense Council. "And that's not in any way a qualification to lead the Environmental Protection Agency."
Among the foremost concerns voiced by environmental advocates is Wheeler's position on climate change. His former boss, Inhofe, has made his own thoughts well-known, dismissing as a vast "hoax" the overwhelming scientific consensus that greenhouse gas emissions are driving global climate change.
Wheeler, when asked during a confirmation hearing about his own position, proved more circumspect in reply. "I believe that man has an impact on the climate," he said, "but what's not completely understood is what the impact is."
That limber sidestep offers small solace to Deans, who is concerned about what the transition from Pruitt to Wheeler spells for the environment.
"Going from a train wreck to a house on fire doesn't give us comfort," Deans says.
Others, such as Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, offered a slightly rosier outlook Friday. The Rhode Island Democrat, who serves on the EPW committee and has gotten high marks from conservation activists, expressed optimism that Wheeler would prove to be "the honest broker we knew" from his previous work on the committee.
"Clear-eyed leadership at EPA could help prevent the carbon bubble we are headed for as fossil fuel reserves end up stranded and potentially trillions of dollars get wiped off energy company books," Whitehouse said in a statement emailed to NPR.
One thing both Wheeler's supporters and skeptics tend to agree upon, however, is that he's likely a capable candidate to advance the Trump administration's campaign against environmental regulations. Since Trump took office last year, he has said the U.S. will pull out of the Paris climate accord and has sought to roll back several Obama-era emissions regulations.
Some of those efforts at deregulation have hit snags in the courtroom, because the EPA hasn't backed up its new position with sufficient data proving its alternatives are more effective and safe.
Which is where Wheeler's regulatory experience may come in: If the EPA continues with its current agenda, the devil will be in the details.
AILSA CHANG, HOST:
The Environmental Protection Agency gets a new leader next week. Andrew Wheeler will take over as acting administrator. Of course this is because Scott Pruitt resigned yesterday amid many allegations of ethical violations. We'll get a chance to chat about that in a moment. But first, let's take a look at Wheeler. As NPR's Rebecca Hersher reports, he brings far more experience to the job than his predecessor.
REBECCA HERSHER, BYLINE: When Andrew Wheeler was fresh out of law school, he got a job at the EPA - special assistant in the agency's Toxics office. He helped write rules about how much information chemical companies disclose to the public. And after a few years, Wheeler did what many young environmental lawyers hoped to do. He landed a job in Congress, working for the Senate committee that oversees the EPA.
SCOTT SEGAL: Well, I've known Andy a long time.
HERSHER: Scott Segal is a partner at the law firm Bracewell LLP.
SEGAL: He is not an accidental administrator. He is somebody who has been preparing for a position of responsibility like this really for all of his life. I mean, he is a student of environmental policy.
HERSHER: Over the years, Wheeler has helped draft regulations on tons of major environmental issues - toxic waste, air and water pollution, climate change. And in many cases, he's worked to decrease the power of the federal government to regulate industry, blocking or weakening rules about chemical factories, refineries and manufacturers. At his Senate confirmation hearing, Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts asked Wheeler what he thinks about climate science.
ED MARKEY: Do you believe human activity is driving the temperature increases on the planet?
ANDREW WHEELER: I believe that man has an impact on the climate, but what's not completely understood is what the impact is.
HERSHER: The overwhelming scientific consensus is that human greenhouse gas emissions are driving global climate change. Wheeler's position - casting doubt on the science as he deregulates industry - mirrors the broader position of the Trump administration. Segal thinks Wheeler's experience in Washington sets him up better than his predecessor to advance the Trump agenda.
SEGAL: To be frank with you, I don't think we'll see the kinds of personal issues that bedeviled the last administrator. He is a consensus builder.
HERSHER: Even some Democrats are cautiously hopeful. The ranking Democrat on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, Tom Carper, told NPR's Morning Edition it's possible Wheeler will turn a page and surprise people in his running of the agency. But environmental groups are sounding the alarm. One of their main concerns - after Wheeler left the Senate, he lobbied for years for one of the largest coal companies in the country. Bob Deans is a spokesperson for the Natural Resources Defense Council.
BOB DEANS: Going from a train wreck to a house on fire doesn't give us comfort. The fact is we have an Andrew Wheeler, a former coal lobbyist, spearheading the worst White House assault in history on our environment and public health.
HERSHER: Wheeler is expected to stick with the EPA's agenda of rolling back multiple Obama-era climate and pollution rules. But Deans says some of those attempts have been held up in the courts because the EPA hasn't backed up its new positions with sufficient science.
DEANS: These safeguards were developed in most cases over years and with enormous amount of input from the public, from every stakeholder imaginable. And if they're going to try to take down those safeguards, the law requires that they demonstrate they have a better idea.
HERSHER: Which is where Andrew Wheeler's regulatory experience may come in handy. If the EPA is to succeed with its current agenda, the devil will be in the policy details. Rebecca Hersher, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Der Anthony-Gletscher ist ein Gletscher an der Wilkins-Küste des Palmerlands auf der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Er fließt in ostsüdöstlicher Richtung zur Stefansson Strait, die er nördlich des Lewis Point und südwestlich der Südspitze der Hearst-Insel erreicht.

Der obere Abschnitt des Gletschers wurde von einer Schlittenmannschaft der British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) unter der Leitung des australischen Polarforschers John Rymill erkundet. Den seewärtigen Abschnitt sichtete eine Schlittenmannschaft bei der United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941). 1947 entstanden Luftaufnahmen bei der US-amerikanischen Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition. Deren Expeditionsleiter, der US-amerikanische Polarforscher Finn Ronne, benannte den Gletscher nach Alexander Anthony, Vizepräsident des New Yorker Unternehmens J. P. Stevens Co, das der Forschungsreise winddichte Schutzkleidung zur Verfügung stellte.

Beit R'fuah is Beth Am's support group for those coping with mental health issues and the family and friends who help and sustain them. Our monthly meetings are confidential, lay-led meetings that are held in a safe and caring environment. The group usually meets the second Wednesday of each month, starting with a potluck dinner followed by sharing and discussion among participants.
Mental illness is the disability that crosses all age groups, cultures and economic backgrounds; 1 in 4 will experience it in their lifetime. It is the illness that isolates because of fear and shame, even among family members. The stigma of mental illness manifests itself even in our Jewish communal life, where often it is seen as a weakness, not an illness, causing victims and their families to hide this disability from the community and delay or deny medical treatment.
For more information, email Mental Health.
Please see the Resource Box at right for a recommended Mental Health Resources Listing, designed to gather critical information about services available in our local community available to those needing help for themselves or loved ones who are dealing with mental illness. It is important to note that specific counties provide different services so it's important, especially in time of crisis, to know what is available where you live.


Imagine a black dress, then imagine the variety of accessories you can add for different looks -- long strings of pearls, shimmering diamonds, piles of costume jewelry in bright lacquer. So it goes with throw pillows. The same tailored neutral room can go from plain to fabulous with the mere addition of carefully chosen cushions. But how do you pick the perfect specimens? We tell you all about picking throw pillows.
"A throw pillow should definitely be an eye-catching, decorative accent that strengthens the colour palette in the room, so choose one of your favourite colours from the furniture fabric. If the piece is a basic neutral, try a great pattern in a colour that complements the room's scheme," says Toronto interior designer Mimi Pineau. It's invaluable advice for those of us not naturally bestowed with the gift of picking accent colours. "Creating a contrast using either colour or texture will make the cushion stand out," she adds.
There are truly an endless variety of pillow shapes to consider -- chubby bolsters, giant squares, long rectangles. So how do you best judge what shape will work where? "If the cushion has a practical use, consider how it will be used," Mimi advises. Square works best for full back comfort, she says, whereas rectangular will support the lower back or neck, as will a foam bolster for leaning up against.
Aesthetics will come into play as well. "Also consider the scale of the furniture; bigger cushions look great on large-scaled furniture with ample seating room, but keep cushions smaller on more delicate pieces," she recommends. Here's a loose breakdown of the more common shapes on the market.
Squares are the most common and versatile throw pillow shape, ideal for the back of a hard chair, to cosy up a sofa, on beds to add visual interest, or on the floor for kids or pets to enjoy.
Rectangles provide lumbar support on sofas or in armchairs. Long rectangles suit king-size beds.
Round pillows can soften up a severe sofa or chair. Flat versions are also comfortable to sit on for anything ranging from tulip-style chairs to Windsor chairs.
Nothing contributes to the look and feel of a throw pillow so much as its fabric, so it's important to choose appropriately. "To make sure your throw pillows stay beautiful, select fabrics that are appropriate for their use -- sturdier fabrics for family areas or around pets, or luxurious pure silks for a master bedroom," Mimi suggests. If you have white-fabric sofas, you may want to check potential pillows for colourfastness, as the dye may rub off on your couch with use. Throw cushion fabric choice has similarities with the formality and seasonality of the fashion world -- like suits or dresses, for instance, cotton is usually less formal than silk, linen more summery than velvet.
Throw pillows fit one of two profiles. There's the decorative pillow that's stuffed and sewn up permanently, and there's the pillow that is really a case that is zippered, tied or buttoned over an insert. Both do the same job, but the removable version is generally a better choice if it will need regular laundering. As for the filling, "a generous feather fill always lends a luxurious touch, even in a casual room," says Mimi. In fact, while many synthetic fibre fillings get compressed with daily use eventually resulting in a flattish silhouette, down and feathers can be plumped up to their original volume. But for some allergy sufferers and those who object to feathers for ethical reasons, synthetics like polyester fill (also known as polyfill) are the only way to go. Luckily, they're widely available and inexpensive.
Before you are carried away on a buying spree by the beautiful cushions you spy in a shop, consider not only the fabric, but also whether the trimmings, if any, fit the style you're after. Silky tassels are quite formal; will that suit your sofa? Contrast piping can read as crisp, while buttons with visible buttonholes are casual.
Finding a way to repurpose or recover the cushions you already have is the most eco-friendly option, of course, as is using hand-me-down cushions. Stunning fabric sources can come from unlikely places if you are open to them. Vintage Pucci scarves, fabric remnants, even old drapes and mohair coats have been turned into throw pillows. And if you're opting for brand new, you'll often find organic fabrics don't always cost considerably more than conventional options. These fabrics have moved away from drab browns, coming in knockout patterns and colours.
If you can't find what you like on store shelves, designing your own throw pillows is the best solution. If you're at all handy with a sewing machine you'll be able to manage simple squares and rectangles. If not, or if you want details like piping or tassels, check with an upholsterer or seamstress specializing in decor. "I design most of my throw cushions and have them custom-made," Mimi says. "That way, I can choose exactly the quality, fabric, fill and special detailing like piping that I want. It makes the cushions truly unique, and you can always tell the difference."

By Danyel Ferrari
This May over three and a half thousand scholars descended on Prague for the International Communications Association Conference. In between the thousands of wide-ranging media- and comm-savvy presentations and amid a surprising heat wave and limited AC, peripatetic academics found themselves musing over potential career changes and rapidly diminishing reception provisions. Read on for communicators' comments on everything ranging from shoes to #altac to casual sexism at ICA.
1. Person 1: "I went to a really great talk like 15 minutes ago."
Person 2: "Oh? What about?"
Person 1: "I honestly can't remember."
2. Person 1: "You really have to be out there now. You can't just publish, you have to be a public intellectual. You need social media."
Person 2: "I tried academic Twitter in 2014. It didn't work."
3. "They are stopping people at the door of the Annenberg party. I think we have to prove affiliation this year because they are running out of food."
4. Person 1: "Sometimes I'm not sure about academia."
Person 2: "Florida State University has an amazing circus program."
5. "The best cure for too much Czech beer is Scotch."
6. Person 1: "I haven't seen anything yet at ICA that fulfills my hope of a real-time American Chopper meme."
Person 2: "After this weekend my blood is like 50% Pilsner, so if you come to my talk tomorrow I think I can deliver."
7. Person 1: "I'm fine. I took a three-hour nap last night."
Person 2: "Isn't that just called 'going to bed'?"
8. "I mean, I read [journal name redacted] because I'm the editor and I have to, but I wouldn't read it otherwise."
9. Male senior scholar [to young female colleagues]: "You'd have done well with [famous scholar]. He really liked to have women in his class. He especially liked when they were young and feisty, like yourselves."
10. "You go to these big discipline-wide conferences early in your career so that you can never have to do it again."
11. "Look how nice and not-at-all-cut-throat colleagues can be when you get out of the US."
12. Person 1: "I just feel like a larger-than-I'm-comfortable-with-portion of this conference wants to work for Google."
Person 2: "How can you tell?
Person 1: "By their shoes."

About two dozen sign-wielding protesters picketed in front of the Department of Human Services' Main Street offices in Little Rock on Tuesday against congressional Republicans' tax plan.
The demonstration included a skit depicting a "fat cat" and protesters chanted against cutting taxes for wealthy Americans.
They specifically named Arkansas' Walton and Stephens families.
A bill expected to be taken up by the Senate after the Thanksgiving holiday would cut taxes for wealthy Americans in the long run, while raising taxes on the poorest Americans, according to a report released Monday by the Tax Policy Center.
Several signs urged passers-by to contact Arkansas' U.S. senators, John Boozman and Tom Cotton, both Republicans.
Neal Sealy with Arkansas Community Organizations, the group that put together the event, said the protest was held at Human Services Department offices as "symbolism" because of the services for the poor offered by the office, such as Medicaid.
The protesters chanted against cutting Medicaid spending, as well as food stamps, as a way of paying for the tax cuts proposed by Congress.
Sealy, who said he receives his health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, said he's been contacting Arkansas' congressional representatives since the spring to oppose the possible repeal of the Affordable Care Act and approval of tax cuts.

It comes after a social media post for which Jim Sheridan was allegedly responsible spoke of his loss of "respect and empathy" for the community amid the row about anti-Semitism.
A spokesman said: "The Labour Party takes all complaints of anti-Semitism extremely seriously and we are committed to challenging and campaigning against it in all its forms.
Scottish Conservative East Renfrewshire MP Paul Masterton described the online comments as "appalling" and said they show "just how deeply the problem of anti-Semitism runs in elements of the Labour Party".

A 'budding' cannabis business designed for women
Published by: CTV News Ottawa
Joanne Schnurr, CTV Ottawa
Published Monday, April 9, 2018 5:06PM EDT
Last Updated Monday, April 9, 2018 7:13PM EDT
There's a new cannabis facility being built outside Kemptville that is hoping to capture an exclusively female market.
Its founder is a woman who believes cannabis can help improve the health of many women. But neighbours aren't convinced the facility will be good for their health.
Down a rural road outside of Kemptville there is a construction frenzy going on.
The former home of Oxford furniture has been re-tooled to become a cannabis company called Fleurish.
"This is one of our bloom rooms," says Renée Ellison, the founder of Fleurish, which is a company that promises to give the green cannabis leaf a metaphorical pink hue.
"As a female founder," says Ellison, "to be able to focus on women's health and create a brand that will help and support women with their use of cannabis."
Ellison, who worked with Health Canada on the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, believes cannabis works differently for women and can help with problems specific to women, such as PMS.
"We know women prefer to use cannabis in the evening with a friend or partner," she says, "They also prefer to use cannabis that's more fruity or floral in flavor."
Ellison has literally bet her house on this, having remortgaged it to buy the buildings, which include the former showroom for Oxford Furniture and the woodworking shop that now holds the bloom rooms where most of the cannabis product will be cultivated.
"This is our vault," says Ellison, of another room within the largest building, "and this is where we're going to be storing all our product."
They are still going through the process to become a licensed producer. They expect to submit an evidence package to Health Canada within the next week or so and hope for a cultivation license this spring. Their plan is to have product to sell by the end of the year.
"It's overwhelming to see the dream has come into reality," says Ellison.
Some of the neighbours, on the other hand, are not so thrilled. None of them would talk to CTV on camera, but many expressed concerns about how close the facility was to their homes and what it might mean to their air and water quality.
Ellison says her company is adhering to strict standards and is committed to being a good neighbour.
"Our building is located in Kemptville and the zoning is appropriate for its use," Ellison said in a statement, "We completed extensive research on the zoning in Kemptville before purchasing the building. Kemptville municipal officials have been very supportive. The neighbours and community have had the opportunity for input as part of the transparent process. We have had discussions with one neighbour who is adjacent to the facility. We are building a state-of-the-art facility under the direction of a consulting engineering firm that will meet or exceed the extremely stringent standards set out by municipal zoning and Health Canada. We will recirculate our water. Our ventilation system has the proper equipment for air filtration to remove odor and pollens and meets section 61 of the ACMPR."
In the meantime, they are plowing ahead with their plan to produce about 2000 kilograms a year and build a second facility in Southern Ontario.Once it is operating, Fleurish will employ about 35 people.
