Gospel of Mark 1:29-39
The first chapter of Mark's Gospel places Christ in the city of Galilee, where he visits a synagogue and heals a man with an unclean spirit by casting the demons out of him with the power of his speech. Mark proceeds to narrate of Christ's healing of a sick woman, followed by the healing of many citizens of Galilee in 1:29-39. The message that this passage of Mark's Gospel conveys is that of Christ's power and willingness to heal, the universality of his love and generosity towards humankind.
The passage begins by describing the condition of Simon's mother-in-law. Her extreme illness is clearly documented within the passage as she is dependent upon her daughter's family to be cared for. Marie Sabin performs a curious analysis of the passage and notes the significance of the healings that Jesus performs in Mark,
It cannot be fortuitous that Mark, in portraying the beginning of Jesus' ministry, describes three healings: of a demoniac, a mother-in-law, and a leper. The first and last make clear that he is depicting Jesus' outreach to the most reviled of the community; situated between a demoniac and a leper, "the mother-in-law," we assume, is an ancient joke. But there are serious implications here as well: before the time of Hillel and Jesus, women, like lepers, were relegated to the outer courts of the Temple, and women received social status only through their relationship to males -- usually their fathers or husbands; for a woman to be known through her son-in-law is so extreme as to suggest that Mark is making a special point of her social anonymity. (p. 152)
The woman's social status is indeed important in this context as the woman is portrayed to be living with her daughter and son-in-law, leading one to assume that she is probably a widow. Thus, the profile of the woman that the Gospel presents its readers with is that of a woman who has the lowest standing in a society that places a higher value on men than women. The Gospel goes as far as to suggest that Simon has to be the one to discuss her case with Jesus because her lower social ranking and her extreme illness prevent herself from doing so.
Her situation, however, is reversed immediately upon her brief encounter with Jesus, as he heals her not only physically but also spiritually. The focal purpose of demonstrating the healing of Simon's mother-in-law seems to point out the Jesus' generosity and willingness to heal even the most downcast members of the society, thus showing that everyone is deserving of Jesus' love and is able to get it. After her encounter with Jesus, the mother-in-law's fever dissipates, as he takes her hand and lifts her up. Mark further notes that her healing is not limited to the dissipation of her fever, but to her ability to serve onto Christ. Ched Myers notes the fact that this encounter with the woman sets forth a type of a framework that Christ's latter encounters with people in need of healing miracles will take the shape of (144). The first step of the framework, according to Myers, involves the bringing the needs of the subject up to Jesus' attention. In his encounter with the subject, Jesus responds by healing the subject, usually by touch. The final step of the Myers's framework is the report of the miracle. The framework that Myers discusses is quite helpful because it describes the ready availability of spiritual help. In the Gospel, Simon's mother-in-law gets a cure and establishes a better connection with Jesus, only because she was seeking such a connection. This process also describes Jesus' power as when he encounters a person in need of his help, all it takes for them to get better is one touch. His one touch is enough to cast devils out of someone, to make them feel better, and to elevate them spiritually. However, the retelling of the healing, the report of the account is probably the most important step in the process for generations of religious persons who have sought a connection with Jesus by reading the Bible. The reporting of the healing brings the reader of the accounts into the action and becomes something that future generations of disciples can read and realize the power of the healing touch of Jesus.
The fact that the mother-in-law proceeds to provide service to Jesus is quite significant, as this demonstrates her immediate understanding of tenets of hospitality and Christianity. Even though Christ comes to Simon's house to heal his mother in-law, he is still a guest in the house and needs to be treated accordingly. In his analysis of the passage, David Ewart argues that Simon's mother-in-law's immediate domestic action is only indicative of her return to her traditional role and traditional tasks as a housewife. While this interpretation has validity to it when interpreting the text on the literal level, it is important to note that a metaphorical interpretation of the text reveals her thorough understanding of Christ's teaching, and her service onto him is representative of this. She does not merely serve him as the woman of the house would serve a guest, but she accepts him as her savior and her servitude to him is merely a religious person's service unto God.
When Mark describes the sick woman's healing, he notes that Christ "lifted her up" (Mark 1:31). Physically, Christ takes her by the hand and lifts her up from her sickbed. But this passage also functions well in the context of spiritual uplifting and elevation. Mitchell points out that the woman becomes a disciple of Christ (62-63). After her brief encounter with Christ, the sick woman goes through a significant transformation that allows her have a better understanding of Christ and her duties and responsibilities regarding her savior. This acceptance of Christ's power allows her to transform from the position of the ill mother-in-law, the ancient joke, and the lowest member of the society into a servile follower of Christ himself.
The ill mother-in-law is one example among various healing that Christ performs throughout the Gospel and various reports of these healings clearly demonstrate Christ's untiring efforts to help and heal all. Upon finding himself in the city of Galilee, Christ immediately assumes the role of the leader that the citizens of Galilee need him to be. His actions proceeding the healing of the sick woman demonstrate Christ's leadership and generosity to all further. The citizens of Galilee, upon learning of Christ's miraculous actions, start coming to him to find cures for their own problems. Mark describes Christ's actions by saying, "And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him" (Mark 1:34). The generosity of Christ and his love for mankind is conveyed by the fact that he does not turn away any person that come to him for healing. Every citizen of Galilee that needs to find a connection to God is able to do so during his or her encounter with Christ.
In his analysis of Mark, Ted Weeden contrasts these healings of the people with Jesus' own death that takes place later in the Gospels at the hands of authorities (22). The authorities seeking to imprison Christ are contrasted with the people following him. His popularity with the people is directly proportional to the fact that the authorities do not believe in his claims and argue that he is impersonating a God. The point of the passage, according to Weeden, is to point out that one needs to find a connection with God as opposed to questioning his powers of healing or the validity of his claims as God. Unlike the authorities, the crowds have a proper understanding of Christ and they show Christ's popularity among the regular citizens and their proper understanding of God and his work. Therefore, one would do best to follow the crowds that have managed to develop a proper understanding and appreciation of Christ's work.
Christ's healing of the sick also showcases another important element of divine power; Mark notes that the devils Christ cast out of the sick did not dare speak to him, as they knew his power. The devils plaguing the health of Galilee's citizens know of the power of Christ and are afraid of him. Thus, their brief encounter with Christ leads to an immediate abandon of their purpose and of the bodies that they had previously affected. Interestingly, the casting of the demons allows the people that had previously suffered from their evils to have the same kind of understanding of Christ as the demons had. By casting out the demons from Galilee, Christ shows its citizens his own awesome powers and allows the citizens of Galilee to get a better understanding of his might.
Christ's encounter with the citizens of Galilee further serves the purpose of illustrating God's generosity…[continue]

Palmerston North Marist were brought back to earth after a few high-flying weeks, beaten 5-1 by Central League leaders Miramar Rangers.
During the past two weeks Marist have beaten top-four sides Wairarapa United and Wellington Olympic, but on Saturday in Wellington they came unstuck against the competition leaders, who are well clear at the top of the table.
Marist had scored early through Tom Mosquera, who finished off a Tyson Brandt header, but Rangers scored 10 minutes before halftime, then again 90 seconds after the break, which saw Marist heads drop.
Marist coach Simon Lees said Miramar were "by far the best team in the league by a long, long way".
"Big teams, they step up, where we haven't quite got there yet."
Miramar had the ball for long periods and Lees said Marist tired from chasing and defending all day.
"The last couple of weeks our game plan has worked extremely well. The game plan worked, we just couldn't keep with them for 90 minutes."
Dominic Milne was outstanding in the middle of the park and Jordan Martens and Jeremy Wild had tidy games.
In the other Central League games, Western Suburbs beat Wellington Olympic 4-1, Wairarapa United beat Petone 3-2, Upper Hutt City beat Tawa 2-1 and Napier City Rovers drew 1-all with Lower Hutt City.
■ In the Federation League Palmerston North Marist Reserves were over the moon with a 2-0 upset win over Palmerston North Boys' High School.
Marist were short and had to get players who had just played for the thirds team earlier to fill in, but overcame a scrappy start to grab two first-half goals from Daniel Hamilton and Matthew Ward.
They then hung on for the rest of the game, under pressure from Boys' High, with centre back Ashish Sahayan standing out and keeper Marcus Watson making a few good saves.
The coaches of Red Sox Manawatu and North End had differing views of their 1-all draw.
Red Sox coach Craig Smithers was chuffed they had got a draw against a team above them and was happy with how they played, but North End coach Garry Hodge felt his side played poorly for parts of the game.
It was 0-all at halftime before Liam Carr put Red Sox ahead, but Billy Burnley levelled things late in the game to snatch the draw.
Steve Lodge, who has just transferred from Linton to Red Sox, had his first game in goal and made plenty of saves.
Feilding had the tough trip to Havelock North and didn't disgrace themselves in a 1-0 loss. Feilding were without captain Sam McKendry and had to take two 16-year-olds, but had good performances from Aaron Richardson, Liam McAleese and Sam Townsend.
Wanganui Athletic have set themselves up to win the league after beating Team Taranaki 2-1 in their top-of-the-table clash in Wanganui. Wanganui have just about wrapped up the league and should go on to a promotion playoff with the likely Wellington winner Stop Out.
■ Jane Barnett ran riot for Massey University, scoring seven goals in their 13-0 hiding of Wanganui Athletic in the women's Central League at Memorial Park yesterday.
Barnett was too fast and too skilful for the cellar dwellers, as Massey weren't troubled too much.
Massey have two big games coming up with a match against nemesis Seatoun and their national knockout game against Glenfield Rovers, so they tried to stick to their game plan.
Mikaela Boxall also scored a hat-trick, and Rhonda Bridges, Siobhan Patterson and Rosie Missen all got on the score sheet.
Valeron Wanderers were disappointed to let a win slip away in their 3-all draw with Lower Hutt City in Wellington, but happy they improved from their 11-2 loss to Wellington United last week.
Valeron had gone up 3-1 against Lower Hutt thanks to two goals from Ella Wiebe and a long-range effort from Cat Pretty. But Lower Hutt came back and scored the equaliser in the last few minutes.
In the other Central League games, Wellington United beat Waterside-Karori 3-0 and Seatoun beat Upper Hutt City 3-2.

Episode two:
We are on the waterfront, where a group of kids are running through the undergrowth. As they pass, we see the body of a blonde woman, floating face down in the river. Is this Sally? Or Esther?
At CID, DS Charlie Zailer and DC Simon Waterhouse are looking at the two photos pinned on the wall (Geraldine & Lucy / the mystery woman & daughter). Why did Esther Taylor drop them and how are they connected? Charlie's informed that Esther Taylor's been found – dead.
Sally comes to, finds herself in bed in a shuttered room. She gets up and starts to wander around the house, realises she's locked in. She's scared. Simon is at the school Oonagh attends and where Lucy used to go. He's holding the photo of the mystery woman – her little girl is wearing the school's uniform. It's Maria Olivia and her daughter Amy. Apparently, she took the little girl back to Spain following a marital split. Charlie calls and tells him Mark Bretherick came looking for Esther at the hotel where she worked, just 2hrs before she died. He's brought in for questioning and shown a photo of Esther, but says he doesn't recognise her. She's not the Esther Taylor who came to his house.
Charlie goes to see Cordy at her house. She doesn't recognise the name Esther Taylor or know how she would be connected to Geraldine and Maria. Her daughter Oonagh is still very shaken and believes she's to blame because of some childish secret the three little girls had shared. Charlie and Simon search the Bretherick house. They cannot reconcile the unhappiness in Geraldine's diaries with the happy family photos all over the house. Charlie meets with Hey who says Harbord's wrong: it wasn't Geraldine; this was a male crime. The only man in the frame is the husband and he probably killed Esther too. Looking into Esther's background they realise her colleague Sally is missing. She called in sick to work but her husband doesn't know where she is.
At the house Sally comes face to face with her captor – she recognises him as the 'Mark' she slept with, we see it's Jonathan Hey. He tells her he's a criminologist studying the Bretherick case for the police and says Mark is trying to kill her.
Simon and Charlie show Mark Bretherick a photo of Sally Thorne. He tells them she was the woman claiming to be Esther Taylor. Going through items from his house they find Maria Olivia's diary written in Spanish. Translated, Charlie realises it's the same text as Geraldine's but with the names changed. Maria's is the original and Geraldine's diaries have been tampered with, which means Mark Bretherick was right: she hadn't written them. Mark Bretherick admits that the Olivia's bought a painting of Geraldine's – 3 months ago when he was away. It was his favourite painting.
Jonathan admits to Sally that Geraldine would've married him if she'd been free. They'd had an inappropriate friendship after Maria took Amy back to Spain and he'd fallen in love with her. Jonathan admits, to Sally's horror, that he had seen her in the area a number of times and followed her to the hotel in Yorkshire. Their chance meeting wasn't by chance at all.
Charlie returns to Cordy's. They really need to trace the Olivias. Cordy searches for an address but meanwhile, Oonagh shows Charlie a picture she's painted. It's of Amy's house. Charlie gets just enough information to go looking for the house. As she's leaving, Oonagh tells Charlie the secret Amy shared with her.
At the house, Jonathan catches Sally reading a letter that she found earlier. She realises that Jonathan was stalking Geraldine and killed her because she rejected him. She begs to be let go and Jonathan realises he's going to have to kill her. Sally hides in the loft, the only place she can think of hiding from Jonathan. They are interrupted by Charlie arriving. When he answers the door she's confused: this was the address for Maria Olivia's old house. A coincidence he tells her. He goes off to make her a drink and looking round, Charlie discovers a blood splattered bathroom. She confronts him gently with what Oonagh told her. His daughter, Amy, killed her mother Maria. He couldn't make them love each other and just desperately wanted a happy family. He killed Geraldine and Lucy because he tried to make Geraldine leave Mark and she wouldn't. Hey panics and holds a syringe to Charlie's throat as Simon's arriving but they convince him to drop it. Sally is discovered, unharmed.

SARAH E. ORYSZAK, PLAINTIFF,v.MARK SULLIVAN, DIRECTOR, UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE, DEFENDANT.
Plaintiff Sarah Oryszak seeks judicial review of the Secret Service's revocation of her top secret security clearance pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 702. Defendant Mark Sullivan, Director of the United States Secret Service ("the Director"), moves to dismiss the complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1), or, in the alternative, to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). Upon careful consideration, the Court will grant the Director's motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction for the reasons explained below.
The key facts in this case are undisputed. Before June 17, 2007, Oryszak had been employed as a Special Agent with the Secret Service for two years. Compl. ¶¶ 4, 13. An essential requirement of the position of Special Agent is the possession of a top secret security clearance. Id. ¶ 34. Oryszak was granted a top secret security clearance in June 2003. Id. ¶ 11. Because Oryszak did not successfully complete all of her federal law enforcement training on the first attempt, she was initially assigned to perform various administrative tasks. Id. ¶¶ 15-16. Her duties included, among others, date-stamping and sorting counterfeit currency attached to Counterfeit Note Reports and preparing paperwork to be sent back to banks along with genuine currency. Id. ¶ 17. She performed these duties for a period of at least three months while waiting to return to training. Id. ¶ 18. Oryszak completed her training on March 29, 2006. Id. ¶ 18.
She returned home the next day and cashed a check at a bank, receiving a $100 bill in return. Id. ¶ 19. A few days later, she paid for lunch using that $100 bill and received four $20 bills as change. Id. ¶ 20. After spending the four $20 bills on various purchases, id. ¶¶ 21-22, two of the bills were discovered to be counterfeit: one bill was immediately detected as being counterfeit by a store clerk and the other was detected as counterfeit by the cashier later in the day, id. ¶ 25. When the counterfeit bills were traced back to Oryszak, she was sent home on April 11, 2006 and placed on administrative leave during the pendency of the agency's investigation into the passing of the counterfeit currency. Id. ¶ 27.
On September 12, 2006, the Secret Service revoked her top secret security clearance after completing its investigation, finding that Oryszak had "knowingly passed counterfeit currency." Id. ¶ 29. Oryszak administratively appealed the revocation determination, id. ¶ 29, and she received a Notice of Review on January 7, 2007, stating that the Secret Service had upheld the revocation of her security clearance, id. ¶ 30. Oryszak appealed that Notice of Review to the Security Appeals Board ("Board"), id. ¶ 31, and the decision was upheld again on May 3, 2007, id. ¶ 32. Because Oryszak no longer held the top secret security clearance required for the position of Special Agent, the Secret Service terminated her employment. Id. ¶ 34.
Oryszak has exhausted her administrative remedies, id. ¶ 33, and now comes before this Court seeking judicial review of the administrative decision to revoke her security clearance. She contends that the Board's determination is a final agency action that violates the APA because the decision was "arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, unsupported by substantial evidence, and unwanted [sic] by the facts." Id. ¶ 36. See also 5 U.S.C. § 706. Oryszak seeks to have the Board's decision reversed, to have her top secret security clearance and position as Special Agent reinstated, and to be awarded back pay and benefits.
"[I]n passing on a motion to dismiss, whether on the ground of lack of jurisdiction over the subject matter or for failure to state a cause of action, the allegations of the complaint should be construed favorably to the pleader." Scheuer v. Rhodes, 416 U.S. 232, 236 (1974); see Leatherman v. Tarrant Cty. Narcotics and Coordination Unit, 507 U.S. 163, 164 (1993); Phillips v. Bureau of Prisons, 591 F.2d 966, 968 (D.C. Cir. 1979). Therefore, the factual allegations must be presumed true, and plaintiff must be given every favorable inference that may be drawn from the allegations of fact. Scheuer, 416 U.S. at 236; Sparrow v. United Air Lines, Inc., 216 F.3d 1111, 1113 (D.C. Cir. 2000). However, the Court need not accept as true "a legal conclusion couched as a factual allegation," nor inferences that are unsupported by the facts set out in the complaint. Trudeau v. Federal Trade Comm'n, 456 F.3d 178, 193 (D.C. Cir. 2006) (quoting Papasan v. Allain, 478 U.S. 265, 286 (1986)).
Under Rule 12(b)(1), the party seeking to invoke the jurisdiction of a federal court --plaintiff here -- bears the burden of establishing that the court has jurisdiction. See US Ecology, Inc. v. U.S. Dep't of Interior, 231 F.3d 20, 24 (D.C. Cir. 2000); see also Grand Lodge of Fraternal Order of Police v. Ashcroft, 185 F. Supp. 2d 9, 13 (D.D.C. 2001) (a court has an "affirmative obligation to ensure that it is acting within the scope of its jurisdictional authority."); Pitney Bowes, Inc. v. United States Postal Serv., 27 F. Supp. 2d 15, 19 (D.D.C. 1998). "'[P]laintiff's factual allegations in the complaint . . . will bear closer scrutiny in resolving a 12(b)(1) motion' than in resolving a 12(b)(6) motion for failure to state a claim." Grand Lodge, 185 F. Supp. 2d at 13-14 (quoting 5A Charles Alan Wright & Arthur R. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure § 1350 (2d ed. 1987)). Additionally, a court may consider material other than the allegations of the complaint in determining whether it has jurisdiction to hear the case, as long as it still accepts the factual allegations in the complaint as true. See Jerome Stevens Pharm., Inc. v. FDA, 402 F.3d 1249, 1253-54 (D.C. Cir. 2005); EEOC v. St. Francis Xavier Parochial Sch., 117 F.3d 621, 624-25 n.3 (D.C. Cir. 1997); Herbert v. Nat'l Acad. of Scis., 974 F.2d 192, 197 (D.C. Cir.1992).
In reviewing a motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), the Court is mindful that all that the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure require of a complaint is that it contain "'a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief,' in order to 'give the defendant fair notice of what the . . . claim is and the grounds upon which it rests.'" Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. ___, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 1964 (2007) (quoting Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 47 (1957)); accord Erickson v. Pardus, 551 U.S. ___, 127 S.Ct. 2197, 2200 (2007) (per curiam). "A Rule 12(b)(6) motion tests the legal sufficiency of a complaint." Browning v. Clinton, 292 F.3d 235, 242 (D.C. Cir. 2002). Thus, the complaint's "[f]actual allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level, on the assumption that all the allegations in the complaint are true (even if doubtful in fact)." Bell Atl. Corp., 127 S.Ct. at 1965 (citations omitted).
In general, the APA provides for judicial review of final agency action. See 5 U.S.C. § 702. Final agency actions carry a presumption of reviewability by the courts. See Dunlop v. Bachowski, 421 U.S. 560, 567 (1975); Heckler v. Chaney, 470 U.S. 821, 830 (1985). Judicial review is unavailable as a matter of course, however, when "(1) statutes preclude judicial review; or (2) agency action is committed to agency discretion by law." 5 U.S.C. § 702(a)(1)-(2). Here, there is no federal statute that expressly precludes judicial review of an agency's decision to revoke an employee's security clearance, so the Court will focus on the second exception. The Director contends that "the determination whether to grant or to revoke a security clearance is committed by law to the discretion of the Executive Branch." Def.'s Mot. at 1. The Court agrees.
The APA preclusion of judicial review when "agency action is committed to agency discretion by law," 5 U.S.C. § 701(a)(2), applies when "there is no law to apply" in a given case. Citizens to Pres. Overton Park v. Volpe, 401 U.S. 402, 410 (1971) (internal quotation omitted). Without any law to apply, a court has no basis from which to proceed to review the agency's decision. In this case, Oryszak has failed to identify a statute that provides "judicially manageable standards" that would permit this Court to review the agency's determination. Heckler, 470 U.S. at 830. Oryszak's inability to locate such a statute is to be expected, however, for no such statute exists. The agency's authority to grant and revoke security clearances is not found in a congressional statute, but rather is derived from the President's delegation of his constitutional authority. See Dep't of the Navy v. Egan, 484 U.S. 518, 527 (1988).
The President is Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States. See U.S. Const., Art. II, § 2, cl. 1. Consistent with this authority, the Supreme Court has held that the presumption favoring review is overcome when the disputed action bears on national security.
See Egan, 484 U.S. at 527. Courts have a well-established history of according the utmost deference to executive decisions where national security is concerned. See, e.g., Webster v. Doe, 486 U.S. 592, 600 (1988); Egan, 484 U.S. at 527; CIA v. Sims, 471 U.S. 159, 173 (1985); Regan v. Wald, 468 U.S. 222, 243 (1984); Gilligan v. Morgan, 413 U.S. 1, 10 (1973); United States v. Reynolds, 345 U.S. 1, 10 (1953); Totten v. United States, 92 U.S. 105, 106 (1876). The President's powers as Commander-in-Chief include the authority to classify information bearing on national security and hence to grant or revoke access to such material. Egan, 484 U.S. at 527; see also Totten, 92 U.S. at 106. The broad constitutional grant of authority accorded to such executive decisions "foreclose[s] the application of any meaningful judicial standard of review." Webster, 486 U.S. at 600.*fn1
Exercising his constitutional authority, the President delegated the prerogative to grant or deny employees access to classified information to various agencies, among them the Secret Service. See Exec. Order No. 10,450, 3 C.F.R. 936 (1949-1953). The language of the executive orders themselves highlight the discretionary nature of these decisions. The President specified that clearance should only be granted where such access would be "clearly consistent with the national security interests of the United States, and any doubt should be resolved in favor of the national security." See Exec. Order No. 12,968, 60 Fed. Reg. 40,245, 40,250 (Aug. 2, 1995); see also Exec. Order No. 10,450, 3 C.F.R. at 938. He further declared that "[a] determination of eligibility for access to such information is a discretionary security decision based on judgments by appropriately trained adjudicative personnel." Exec. Order No. 12,968, 60 Fed. Reg. at 40,250 (emphasis added).
This Court does not possess the specialized expertise or the requisite resources to determine whether a particular employee's security clearance is or is not clearly consistent with national security, and there are no factors provided that would assist the Court in making such a determination. Courts are in no position to gauge "what constitutes an acceptable margin of error" for determinations that bear on national security. Egan, 484 U.S. at 529. This is particularly true where the decisions involve "sensitive and inherently discretionary judgment call[s]," such as the "grant of security clearance to a particular employee." Id. at 527. It is simply "not reasonably possible for an outside non-expert body to review" an agency's judgment in these matters. Id. at 529. This Court is not an appropriate tribunal for making (or second-guessing) the kind of "predictive judgment" that is necessary to determine whether security clearance should be granted to a particular individual or not. Id.; see also Cole v. Young, 351 U.S. 536, 546 (1956) ("[T]here is a reasonable basis for the view that an agency head who must bear the responsibility for the protection of classified information committed to his custody should have the final say in deciding whether to repose his trust in an employee who has access to such information.").
Oryszak argues that the Executive's broad authority to deny a security clearance for any reason or no reason at all must be granted by Congress, see Pl.'s Opp'n at 11, thereby implying that such decisions are not committed to agency discretion by law because Congress has not made such a grant here. The Court disagrees. According to the Supreme Court, the President's constitutional power to grant or to revoke security clearance does not require affirmative congressional authorization. See Egan, 484 U.S. at 527 ("[The President's] authority . . . to determine whether an individual is sufficiently trustworthy to occupy a position in the Executive Branch that will give that person access to [] information [bearing on national security] flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant.").*fn2 The determination whether to revoke a Secret Service agent's security clearance for national security concerns is committed to the discretion of the executive branch and is therefore unreviewable by this Court.
Oryszak concedes that the Secret Service has the discretion to decide whether security clearance should be granted, both in general and in her particular case, see Pl.'s Opp'n at 10, but she contends that the agency abused its discretion in revoking her security clearance, id. at 11. But the Secret Service did not and, indeed, cannot abuse its discretion because the discretion to grant or revoke security clearance is committed "absolutely" to the judgment of the executive.
Heckler, 470 U.S. at 830; see also Drake v. FAA, 291 F.3d 59, 70 (D.C. Cir. 2002) ("[A]n agency cannot abuse its discretion . . . where its governing [law] confers such broad discretion as to essentially rule out the possibility of abuse."). Oryszak has pointed to no constitutional provision, statute, or regulation that intimates otherwise. With no judicially manageable standards for review, this Court cannot judge how and when an agency should exercise its discretion, much less determine whether that discretion has been abused. See Heckler, 470 U.S. at 830.
Oryszak has also suggested, however, that an agency abuses its discretion as a general matter when there is no evidence to support the decision or there is no rational connection between the facts found and the choice made. Pl.'s Opp'n at 9 (citing Jaimez-Revolla v. Bell, 598 F.2d 243, 246 (D.C. Cir. 1979); Ethyl Corp. v. EPA, 541 F.2d 1, 34 (D.C. Cir. 1976), cert. denied, 426 U.S. 941 (1976)). Oryszak bases this argument on her belief that she was not provided with notice of the reasons that her security clearance was revoked. Pl.'s Opp'n at 10. Although there are some cases that hold that an agency is required to notify a plaintiff of the reasons for the revocation of a security clearance -- see Cheney v. Dep't of Justice, 479 F.3d 1343, 1352 (Fed. Cir. 2007); King v. Alston, 75 F.3d 657, 661-2 (Fed. Cir. 1996) -- they are not binding precedent on this Court, see Tequila Centinela, S.A. de C.V. v. Bacardi & Co., 517 F. Supp. 2d 1, 13 (D.D.C. 2007) (rejecting the Federal Circuit's precedent). In any event, however, there is no need for the Court to decide whether to adopt the Federal Circuit's reasoning because here the Secret Service provided sufficient notice of the reasons it was revoking Oryszak's security clearance. See Pl.'s Opp'n Attach. A. Thus, Oryszak's complaint would be dismissed even under the Federal Circuit's approach.
Even if there are no statutorily-created standards that can allow for judicial review, an agency's own regulations can provide standards that supply a basis for judicial review. See C.C. Distributors, Inc. v. United States, 883 F.2d 146, 154 (D.C. Cir. 1989). In delegating his authority to revoke security clearances, the President has outlined procedures for agencies to follow before revoking or denying a clearance to a person. See Exec. Order No. 12,968, 60 Fed. Reg. at 40,252. But the protocols in question in this case are only procedural and do not serve as substantive law for the courts to apply.*fn3 Even assuming that this Court could review any part of the decision to revoke Oryszak's security clearance, it would only be to ensure that the agency followed its own internal procedures. The Court cannot weigh the substantive merits of the decision because the executive orders do not create judicially manageable standards for doing so.
The procedures allow for, inter alia, a written explanation of the basis for the determination, an opportunity for internal agency review, and an additional opportunity to appeal to a panel appointed by the head of the relevant agency. Exec. Order No. 12,968, 60 Fed. Reg. at 40,252. The panel's decision, or the decision of the agency head if the panel recommends it, is final. Id. In this case, the Secret Service followed these procedures as outlined and determined that Oryszak's security clearance should be revoked. Oryszak's only basis for claiming that the agency deviated from the outlined procedure is that the agency did not provide sufficient justifications for its determination. Oryszak, however, was provided with the reasons for the Board's decision when she received the Secret Service's initial Notice of Determination ("NOD") on September 12, 2006. Compl. ¶ 29; see also Pl.'s Opp'n Attach. A. Thus, even if the agency was required to notify Oryszak of the reasons for the security clearance revocation, it has done so here. The NOD sufficiently explains the basis for the agency's decision.
Although the case comes to the Court on a motion to dismiss, the Court does not have to accept Oryszak's bald contention that the agency provided no explanations for its action if the facts do not bear it out. See Kowal v. MCI Commc'ns Corp., 16 F.3d 1271, 1276 (D.C. Cir. 1994). In fact, the attachments provided by Oryszak herself illustrate otherwise. Even construing the documents as liberally as possible in her favor, the supporting material plainly refutes Oryszak's allegation that no evidence was provided.
The NOD states that Oryszak admitted to making the relevant purchases, and she does not deny that the bills were counterfeit. Pl.'s Opp'n Attach. A at 2. The only dispute is whether she knew that the bills were counterfeit at the time she passed them. Id. The NOD details that Oryszak had at least three months of experience handling counterfeit bills. Id.*fn4 According to the agency, Oryszak was or should have been familiar with counterfeit currency after that exposure. The NOD explains that Oryszak's routine exposure to handling counterfeit money made her assertions unbelievable, especially since the counterfeit bills were so quickly identified as forgeries by the two separate cashiers who received them. Id. at 2-3.*fn5 The agency also states that the security concerns were not sufficiently reduced or eliminated by Oryszak's response or any other applicable mitigating factors. Id. at 3.*fn6 Based on this evidence, the agency concluded that Oryszak's retention of a top secret security clearance was not "clearly consistent with the interests of the national security." Id. (internal quotation omitted). In its final decision, the Board indicated that it had reviewed the NOD and concurred with its conclusions. Pl.'s Opp'n Attach. B. Even positing that the Court needs to review the agency's justifications to ensure that they are procedurally adequate, Oryszak's possession of these documents demonstrates that the agency gave her a sufficient written explanation for the basis of its determinations.
An abuse of discretion may be found only where the agency provides no evidence for its decision. Jaimez-Revolla, 598 F.2d at 246. The agency's decision must be affirmed if a rational basis exists for it. Ethyl Corp., 541 F.2d at 34. That low threshold was certainly satisfied here. Without going into the merits of the decision, this Court notes that there is a rational connection between the facts presented and the choice made by the agency. Although the agency's memorandum does not spell out all the specific inferences it drew to make its final determination, the decision can still be upheld because the agency's rationale "may reasonably be discerned." See Ethyl Corp., 541 F.2d at 34 n.73 (quoting Bowman Transp., Inc. v. Ark.-Best Freight Sys., Inc., 419 U.S. 281, 286 (1974)). Likewise, the agency's decision is neither arbitrary and capricious nor unwarranted by the facts. Although this Court cannot judge the agency's justifications on their merits, the explanation provided by the agency makes it evident that the procedures outlined by the executive branch were followed and that Oryszak received adequate procedural protections. The Court stresses that today's judgment takes no view whatsoever on the appropriateness vel non of the agency's particular decision.
Oryszak concedes that her employment as a Special Agent was conditional upon her having top secret security clearance. Compl. ¶ 34. Because the agency's decision to revoke her security clearance must stand, its subsequent decision to terminate her employment based at least partially, if not entirely, on her lack of proper security clearance must stand as well. See Bennett v. Chertoff, 425 F.3d 999, 1003 (D.C. Cir. 2005); Ryan v. Reno, 168 F.3d 520, 524 (D.C. Cir. 1999).
The Court finds that the Secret Service's decision to revoke Oryszak's security clearance was a decision committed to agency discretion by law. Accordingly, the Court will grant the Director's motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.*fn7
For the foregoing reasons, the Court will grant the Director's motion to dismiss. A separate Order accompanies this Memorandum Opinion.

My life is full of appointments. This morning I dutifully (as always) attended my ent appointment with the good Prof A. Thanks to Aidan's antic, I only arrived at the hospital at 8.40am… and hell I knew it was going to be a long day.
And a long day it was indeed. HUKM parking was full to the brim like always, even valet was full. After circuling the parking lot for about 10 times, I finally found a double park spot for my 'belalang tempur'. Once registered… I was told "Prof tengah jumpa 1st patient. Cik nombor 9″… and so I waited until 12.30 for my turn. Can you imagine the anguish of waiting?? Serves me right for being late. (I am a person who always turns up early for appointment to secure first to fifth turns).
So the verdicts, I still have to come for appointment in 5 months. I did asked whether it is really necessary, because really I think I am just wasting her time. I am not that sick. Probably I don't even have to see her again. But no, she said I have to. Pffttt.
I'm writing about appointment because I'm thinking about my other appointments. Thinking and panicking at the same time. Really panicking. Damn… I'll update later.

Beautiful Topiaries
This adds a touch of color & class to the outside front of our home. We purchased 2 & put them in beautiful ceramic pots. Unless you touch them you have no idea that they are not real plants. They are fabulous replicas! The only problem we have is that we get very high winds sometimes in Vegas & one of the plants falls over. If we know the winds are going to be high, we move them to a more sheltered place. Otherwise they are just what we wanted. They are totally lovely.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Dead on!
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. These topiaries look like real plants!
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Perfectly accurate.

Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from Term Paper:
" Of these respondents, over 50% of them stated that they lack a disaster recovery plan (Anthes, 1998). However, most of the problems stem from the lack of communication at the corporate level. (Hawkins, et al., 2000).
Business Continuity Plans (BCP) and other forms of strategic planning are no longer a luxury, but a must-have factor and an important element of any organisation's risk management system. Organisations are increasingly dependent upon it systems and infrastructure and eventually subjected to many risks, so business is inherently risky. How long can your organisation afford system downtime? How long does it take to recover a disaster; and, what does it cost? These kinds of questions are the ones that have to be addressed for BCPs. Also important, however, is using strategic planning to look toward the future and determine where a business wants to be at a specific point, so that plans to work toward that goal can also be created and addressed.
The background to a study is very important, and it often affects much of what is learned. Without a proper understanding of what has gone before, a study makes less sense and can be difficult to understand. However, the meat of the study itself is what is important, and it is not necessary to create a background that runs for many pages and uses up valuable space that could be used for the literature review, analysis, and other important issues.
The most important background issue to discuss is the fact that the problem strategic planning and how best to work with and implement it has been going on for many years. The way that SMEs work and how they change and adapt as society changes is significant, but strategic planning is still not used for all businesses in all areas, and many wonder why this is the case and how it might be hurting various industries and the customers. There are no easy answers to this issue, and it is not something that can be solved quickly. However, there have been ideas created and tried in the past for SMEs when it comes to strategic planning, both in the form of business continuity/disaster recovery, and in the form of future planning to ensure the meeting of goals and objectives.
Despite these ideas and beliefs, there are still many countries where the SMEs do not utilize any kind of strategic planning. The UAE is one of these countries where the rate of small and medium-sized companies with a strategic plan is only around 14%. This has been found to be troubling by those that study this particular issue, because strategic plans help businesses very much when it comes to serving their customers and making plans and changes that help them adapt to the future. Without these strategic plans, some businesses will struggle with issues that cannot easily be solved and these businesses need the help and stability that a strategic plan can provide for them.
The main theory is that these plans help companies not only in what they are doing in the present day, but also in what they are doing when it comes to future plans that they may make. These businesses must remain concerned about the services that they involve themselves in and use to assist the customers that they serve. They must keep up with the times and the needs of these customers, but they must be sure that they do not try to do too much too quickly and therefore offer a variety of services that do not work well, are fraught with difficulties, and only cause problems for their customers. Strategic plans help keep businesses running smoothly when there are disasters, either man-made or natural, that the businesses have to face, and they also keep businesses growing and expanding when the businesses are doing well.
Aims and Objectives
The aim of this paper is to determine the impact of strategic planning on the performance of small to medium size training companies in the UAE.
The objectives are:
To identify the use of strategic planning as it relates to the company's performance (turnover, number of employees, number of customers);
To relate the use of strategic planning with international activity;
To determine the use of strategic planning as it relates to the use of high tech methods;
To correlate the use of strategic planning with the manager's characteristics (age, education, gender, foreign language proficiency, prior experience [general or specific]);
To evaluate the use of strategic planning with the company's age and the manger's experience; and to identify future development opportunities.
Statement of the research question
Is strategic planning essential for training companies (those that offer training for businesses) in order to remain competitive in providing relevant training for businesses with changing needs, from a sample of companies?
Chapter 2 - Background of the research
The strategic management process is highly important for any business. Before it is discussed, however, there are some specific issues that should be examined. These are Porter's Five Forces model, the SWOT analysis, and strategic decision making. Once these are examined and understood, a more thorough discussion of the strategic management process can take place. There are, says Porter, five specific forces that work to drive competition within a particular industry. The Five Forces in Porter's model are:
The threat of entry by new competitors.
The intensity of rivalry among existing competitors.
Pressure from substitute products.
The bargaining power of buyers.
The bargaining power of suppliers.
One of the main applications of this model has to do with the difficulty of being able to enter new markets. Another issue deals with the current competitors that are already in a market and the ability of a company to stay competitive in markets that they are already in. The most significant issue that can be seen from the Five Forces model, however, is that there is an inverse relationship between the intensity of the competition and the profit margins of the company - when the competition intensity rises, the returns and margins fall. There are other issues that must be looked at, however, when it comes to the Five Forces model, how to use it, and what it actually means for those in business.
For example, Porter also discusses the idea of diversification. By diversifying, a particular organisation is able to grow faster and spread out the risks that it is taking. There are various companies that have created models for determining which companies will rise and which companies will fall, but Porter has other ideas in mind.
The Five Forces model is not the only area of interest where strategy is concerned. Many companies also work with SWOT analyses. These outline the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats that the company may be facing in order to help determine how better to deal with these issues. Strengths can involve issues such as how long the company has been around and whether people recognize the company name, as well as the philosophy that the company has when it comes to ensuring that the customers are happy. The amount of products that the company makes and the diversity that they have can be a strength as well, but it can also be a weakness. In a SWOT analysis, most of what is listed as the strengths of a company can also be seen as weaknesses in other companies. In other words, if one company is very diversified and another company is not, the first company may list diversity as a strength while the second company will likely list lack of diversity as a weakness.
Opportunities and threats are also significant in a SWOT analysis. The opportunities involve ways to expand the business or to make larger profits, and the threats are the issues that could prevent this from happening. These threats most often include other businesses that are selling the same or similar products, that have moved into the target market sooner, or that are otherwise causing difficulties for a particular business. While the Five Forces Model and the SWOT analysis are two very important tools, they are not everything when it comes to the strategic management process. It is important, therefore, to understand more about strategic decision making and strategic management throughout the rest of this section. There are many different issues involved when it comes to strategic planning, and many of them can be overlooked in the desire to create a plan and complete it.
The issues that will be discussed here will be the mission, the analysis of context, the strategic choice, the strategy implementation, and the strategy control. All of these work together to make up strategic management and planning. The mission is the beginning when it comes to strategic management and decision making processes (Parsatharthy and Booke, 2006, p. 11). For example, a mission…[continue]

Australian pay-TV operator Foxtel has unveiled a new over-the-top (OTT) TV service called 'Foxtel Play', which promises no lock-in contracts and access across a range of devices when it launches in June.
At launch, the service will offer over 40 channels and more than 2,000 video-on-demand titles, including programming from some of the country's most popular channel brands across movies and premium drama, documentaries, entertainment, kids and live sports.
Customers will be able to build their own genre-based channels packages starting from AUD 25 (US$ 25) per month, and access the service on PCs, Macs, games consoles, connected TVs, smartphones and tablets.
Unveiling the service at the ASTRA conference in Sydney earlier today (March 14th), Foxtel CEO Richard Freudenstein affirmed that Foxtel TV is intended for customers wishing to access Foxtel TV services at flexible price points.
"Foxtel Play is the next step in the evolution of our entertainment offering," said Freudenstein. "Our core subscription service, which remains the cornerstone of our business, has recently been augmented by a greatly enlarged On Demand offering and, of course, Foxtel Go, both included for residential subscribers.
"Foxtel Play develops our 'off the box' internet TV products by expanding on the existing Foxtel on Xbox 360 and Foxtel on Internet TV services to provide one Foxtel internet TV offering across multiple devices.
"This is a perfect new way for those people who have not yet experienced Foxtel to enjoy our popular content at flexible price points offering value to suit varying budgets and needs. Foxtel Play combines the ease and portability of internet connectivity with fantastic entertainment to welcome a whole new set of customers to Foxtel."
Foxtel also indicates that the service will be available on 3G/4G mobile networks as well as WiFi and fixed broadband networks – more details will be announced closer to the time of launch.
Foxtel is easily the largest pay-TV provider in Australia with more than twice the number of subscribers of its erstwhile rival Austar, reaching 1.66mn by the end of 2011.
The company completed its merger with rival Austar in May 2012, and has started to expand its reach beyond established cable and satellite platforms to IP-connected devices, delivering premium packages to Samsung's smart TVs (details here), Telstra's T-Box and the Xbox 360.
The current analysis from Informa Telecoms & Media (publisher of IP&TV News) is that Foxtel will remain the dominant pay-TV force in Australia in the short-to medium-term but will thereafter become somewhat vulnerable to low-cost alternatives.

Several productions have been named with a "Jim Henson's..." prefix in the title. Some time ago, we agreed on the wiki that such a prefix wasn't needed for our naming structure. This page is an attempt to look at and compare the ways the titles have been handled in each production's title card.
