Passover—An Opportunity You Should Not Pass Over
Many of our newer friends are unaware that Jews for Jesus has another nationwide publication besides this Newsletter. It is designed expressly for Jewish people who might be willing to consider the claims of Jesus. Appropriately called ISSUES, it explores contemporary topics in the Jewish community from a messianic perspective. More than 40,000 Jewish people already receive this informative evangelistic bimonthly publication.
How do we receive the names of so many Jewish people? One important source is street and college campuses where we distribute our literature, but most of our subscribers come as a result of Gentile Christian friends sending us their names. We would appreciate more of this kind of help, but there is also another way you can help.
As Passover season arrives, our staff workers will be deployed across the country seeking opportunities to minister to Jewish people during their spring speaking tours in the churches. Why not bring a Jewish friend to one of our Christ in the Passover programs?
If you are on our mailing list, you may have received a special notice that one of our speakers will be in your area. If you did not receive such a notice, just watch the church announcement pages of your local newspaper to find out if one of our representatives will be in your area. If you find that a Christ in the Passover program is available, why not invite a Jewish friend to accompany you? Many would be curious enough to attend, and some would be genuinely interested.
If you do extend such an invitation to a Jewish friend and he or she declines, you might still ask if they would be open to receiving a copy of ISSUES on a trial basis. If they are at all interested in the subject of whether or not Jesus is the Messiah, they probably will accept the offer.
Sometimes a Jewish person might be genuinely interested in one of our programs but have a conflict of schedule. In such a case, let it be known that the speaker may be able to schedule them for a private conversation at a more convenient time. If your friend agrees to this, you might call our San Francisco office or the church where our representative will be speaking and relay the interested person's name and phone number.
Most important, be in prayer at this time of year as to how God can use you to share the Good News with a Jewish person. Seeing a Christ in the Passover program or receiving ISSUES could be an important step for someone in finding salvation in Yeshua.

Religions :: Kryoth
Kryoth, the Eternal Flame, is the goddess of fire, summer's heat and the
deserts of the realm. She is not wont to appear in any form other than a
voice speaking from a blazing fire that does not consume that upon which it
burns, but rare writings have depicted her as a lovely elven woman with a
short cap of flame-red curls and blazing scarlet eyes. Always when she is
sighted in mortal form, she is wreathed in a halo of living flame, beautiful
and terrible.
A passionate, mercurial goddess, Kyroth is ever-changing and flickering, much
like her chosen element. Her temper is searing and her rage frightful but
both burn out quickly, though not often without leaving something scarred in
her wake. She counts no deities as her enemies, nor none save the other
Rulers of the Elements as her allies. Other than the heat of passion and
rage, she is distant from human emotions, detached and alien.
Kryoth is one of the four elemental gods along with Essyn, Kantos, and Osse.
When the world was created, Kryoth brought warmth and light so that all things may thrive.
Her symbol is a blue stylized flame.
The Eternal Flame accepts on those who are willing to follow the cleansing
fury of fire. As such, many of her priests are also gifted in the art of fire

Today I visited with all staff and students concerning the Intermediate dress code. My hope is that everyone is aware of our current dress code and that we do not have to address any violations. Any student violating dress code will have to leave the learning environment in order to address the issue. Since our focus is on learning, we want them in class. The dress code can be viewed in its entirety on our district and campus website, but here are a few common violations we want to avoid:
- No tank tops, muscle shirts, racer-back tops/dresses, spaghetti strap tops/dresses, or strapless tops/dresses
- Shorts, skirts, and dresses will not be shorter than the fingertips in a normal standing position – Bike shorts may be worn underneath in order to meet dress code as long as the outside garment in question is at a reasonable length
- Girls may wear leggings as long as the shirt worn extends to at least fingertip length or below
- Torn or ripped clothing is prohibited
- Boys' hair will not extend below the eyebrows, below the earlobes or below the top of a tee shirt
- Unnatural color or color variation in hair is prohibited
- Avoid geometric or unusual patterns shaved or cut in the hair
- Spiked hair, Mohawks, and Faux hawks are prohibited
- Male students cannot wear earrings or ear studs
The dress code is a guideline to acceptable attire and cannot be considered completely exclusive. Therefore, when other forms of dress are deemed inappropriate for reasons not listed, the administration will address the violation. In matters of opinion, the judgement of the administration will prevail.
Several students still have variations of color in their hair from the summer months. Please make sure that by Monday, August 28th, all color has been removed from the student's hair.
Thank you in advance for your help in ensuring that our focus is on learning,
Jennifer Rock, Principal

Mermaid Buys Newbuild DP2 Dive Support Vessel Under Construction
Mermaid announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Mermaid Offshore Services Ltd. ("MOS") had on June 5, 2009 purchased a newbuild DP2 Dive Support Vessel ("DSV") under construction in Bergen, Norway.
Summary of the Transaction
The purchase was made from Aquanos Offshore AS, a Norwegian entity, and the Vessel is being constructed by Bergen Group BMV AS, a Norwegian entity. The Vessel's dive support system is supplied by Drager Safety AG & Co. KGaA, a German entity. Independent reports on the construction of the Vessel have confirmed it to be a modern and efficient design specification, built to high standards. The Vessel is presently undergoing completion, commissioning and installation of the dive system. Delivery of the Vessel is scheduled for the fourth (4th) calendar quarter of 2009. Primarily designed for harsh environment, the Vessel is suited for global subsea work capabilities.
Rationale for the Transaction
MOS provides a wide range of sub-sea engineering services including but not limited to infrastructure and submerged structure installation, inspection, repair, maintenance and salvage. MOS is certified to provide sub-sea inspection services by all major classification societies and is a member of the International Marine Contractors' Association ("IMCA").
MOS' existing subsea fleet comprises seven (7) vessels, two (2) of which are DSVs. This DP2 DSV "Mermaid Endurer" is the third newbuild sub-sea vessel planned for delivery within the next six months. MOS is also scheduled to take delivery of a newbuild DP2 DSV "Mermaid Asiana" in the third (3rd) calendar quarter of 2009 and a newbuild DP2 remotely operated vehicle ("ROV") support vessel "Mermaid Sapphire" in the fourth (4th) calendar quarter of 2009.
Since 2008, MOS has steadily expanded its geographical client base out of South East Asia to include India, China, Sakhlin, Middle East and Brazil. This acquisition will allow MOS to fulfill anticipated demand within its expanded geographical market for subsea engineering services with a modern and globally mobile fleet.
The total consideration payable for the Vessel is approximately US $91 million (United States Dollars Ninety One Million). This amount was arrived based on negotiations between an independent willing-buyer and willing-seller with regard to market conditions and budgeted remaining expenditure.
This consideration will be partially funded by retained earnings in MOS and debt. Approximately 30% of this consideration will be payable during the remaining phase of the construction with the balance of approximately 70% payable upon delivery and acceptance of the Vessel.
Financial Effects
Assuming that the purchase was concluded in the beginning of the most recent financial year and delivered within that same period (the Company's last financial year ended September 30, 2008), the purchase would have had a material effect on the earnings per share and net tangible assets per share of the Company for that financial year.
Interest of Directors and Controlling Shareholders
None of the directors or controlling shareholders of the Company has any interest, direct or indirect, in this transaction. There are also no new directors proposed to be appointed to the Company in connection with this transaction.

The Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria (MSSN) has announced the death of the lead counsel on the long-running hijab case against Lagos State, Chief Gani Adetola-Kaseem (SAN).
Adetola-Kaseem, 69, died early Monday morning at AB Specialist Hospital, Surulere after a brief illness.
Sheikh Abdurazak Salaudeen, Chief Imam ijebuland and Wakilu Muslim of Yorubaland led a congregation of Muslims in a two-rakah janazah (special prayer for the deceased) at Egbe Central Mosque in Lagos.
Speaking after his burial, Amir (President) of the MSSN in Lagos State, Dr. Saheed Ashafa, described the late legal luminary as a promoter of justice and morality.
He said, "The pains, harassment, embarrassment and humiliation suffered by female Muslim students in Lagos and some states in Nigeria for using hijab would not have been relieved if not for a rare personality like Adetola-Kaseem, whom Allah used for fighting the cause for us without collecting a dime.
"His rare magnanimity in assisting the oppressed and developmental works in the society stands him out. About 18 months ago, he emerged victorious in the hijab case at the Court of Appeal.
"We pray that Allah who granted him the might to put smiles on the faces of millions of Muslims will accept his sacrifice and grant him Al-Janat Firdaus (heaven)."
Ashafa, however, urged Muslim members of the benchers to emulate the late icon, urging that his legacies must be sustained.
"Baba (Adetola-Kaseem) will be remembered for advocating for the cause of justice and the rights of Muslim students and women to wear hijab. This is a great lesson for individuals that whatsoever we put forth in the cause of Allah remain in our record.
"Adetola-Kaseem's contributions to the struggle of hijab in Nigeria cannot be forgotten in a hurry. He stood by us throughout the litigation period on the case of hijab without collecting a dime as our lead counsel.
"Our prayers are with him and his distraught family. We pray that Allah accept him as his servant and admit him into Aljannatul Firdaus. Aamiin," he prayed.

BlogSpot: Securing your confidential data from 'Bob'
About the author
I speak to lots of small and medium sized businesses and many are confused and frustrated about the amount of well meaning advice they receive - often from people like me - on matters of information security. So much so that the issue is often and understandably pushed down the to-do list in place of seemingly more obvious priorities.
I come across two common prevailing views. The first is that information security is only an issue for big business whilst - secondly - even those who do recognise it as an issue mistakenly believe that they have sufficiently robust procedures and technology to deal with it.
I spoke recently with - let's call her - Jenny. Jenny is responsible for, amongst other things, matters of IT including how she ensures critical information isn't lost or sent places without authorisation. I asked Jenny "how do you know what information is leaving your business on flash-drives or email and how do you stop what shouldn't be leaving? How do you maintain security when laptops and smartphones are off network; say in an aircraft at 30,000 feet?"
Jenny told me how she locks down USB ports - although not for everyone - and she can review email on the Exchange server although the aircraft scenario had her stumped. And companies like hers don't have data worth stealing anyway. Locking down USB ports needs to be universal to be even partially effective and a busy manager spending hours checking email logs? Really?
What Jenny misses is that even the smallest company has information that represents hard cash to competitors and criminals: credit card details, customers' names and addresses, or the designs vital to an innovative start-up - all these have a value to - let's call him Bob - the cyber criminal.
Bob knows that a smaller business can often be an easier way of reaching the larger firms whom they supply. These same larger firms are becoming acutely aware of the vulnerabilities that exist in modern global, hyper-connected and highly extended supply chains and evidence suggests that these firms are starting to vet suppliers on the risks they pose.
So who exactly is Bob? Bob could be an uber smart, faceless cyber criminal looking to hack your critical data. More likely though Bob's probably a malicious employee looking to make some commercial gain from the access he has to your confidential data. He might simply be negligent staff member with the potential to do something innocently silly or to become an exploit point for someone with more criminal intent. Whatever, Bob represents what has become to be known as the Insider Threat.
So how do businesses without huge IT budgets and access to specialist skills protect themselves from Bob? Your company's Firewall won't help as Bob's already on the inside so you need something affordable and effective that looks out for Bob, prevents him from doing something malicious or negligent and supports a quick and effective response to a data integrity breach.
Solutions tend to fall into a handful of key areas and businesses need to decide which ones - if not all - provide the right level of protection for their own particular situation.
The first fall into the camp known as Data Loss Prevention. DLP solutions have been around for some time but typically require lots of hardware with a big price tag affordable only by those with a correspondingly big budget. A limited number of solutions for small and medium sized business have emerged recently which provide sufficiently robust security for those needing to stop sensitive data leaking vial email, webmail, IM, USB or other means. The best of these also don't require any additional hardware.
Another key requirement in today's increasingly mobile work is the ability to secure or recover lost or stolen laptops - or at least the data on them. Good solutions in this category will allow you to geo-locate and track lost or stolen devices, remotely retrieving or deleting critical data. The very best in this category will also extend the capability to the monitoring of smartphones. These solutions allow you to potentially track calls and inbound and outbound photos, SMS and email.
Most organisations should also consider some form of Employee Monitoring; an effective facility to record and block inappropriate activity, eliminate liability and audit current and historic user activity. Web Filtering is a related technology and the best solutions offer a full function filtering capability to ensure only appropriate content is viewed using company devices no matter where the computer goes and without any additional hardware.
As well as the obvious security benefits of deploying some or all of these solutions the additional audit capabilities inherent in all should not be overlooked in terms of potential litigation arising from computer misuse.

Merry Christmas from the British Ambassador to Iceland
Merry Christmas from HM Ambassador Stuart Gill and a reflection on his first year in Reykjavík.
"As Christmas approaches, I look back on my first year in Iceland as British Ambassador, a year to remember – for me, my wife Maggie, and the British Embassy. I must thank everyone here for being such welcoming and generous people. We have been truly staggered by the beauty of Iceland, a country so rich in extraordinary features and spectacular countryside. A short drive from our home in Reykjavik finds us in stunning surroundings, in winter or summer. In our four years here we will do our utmost to get round the whole of this fabulous island.
Much has changed in my short time here. Iceland has a new government, the EU accession negotiations are on hold and Iceland's victory in the EFTA court case over IceSave changed, overnight, the nature of UK-Iceland engagement – for the better, I should add.
Our two countries have much to look forward to as we contemplate the prospects for 2014, not least in our commercial relationship. More civil aircraft leave Reykjavik bound for London than any other destination, British tourists are coming here in ever-increasing numbers, Icelandic companies look more and more to the UK as their international business hub, and Iceland's exports of their fabulous fish creates and sustains thousands of jobs in the likes of Humberside.
Most exciting of all, perhaps, is the prospect that our two countries might one day be connected by an electricity interconnector. Much needs to be done before we get there, but I look forward to working towards this during the rest of my time as British Ambassador.
I could list so many more things our two countries are doing together (and probably will from time to time!), but I'll keep this message short and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year."
HM Ambassador Stuart Gill

East Timor
May 31, 2006
Every week I buy coffee from Ivan and his wife. They both came to Australia from East Timor; getting out when the UN pulled out after the referendum, before the worst of the violence as Indonesia said so-long-and-farewell by burning everything they could to the ground. The coffee is about as fair trade as possible – it pretty much doesn't leave Timorese hands till they hand it to me.
Ivan managed to get some close family members to Darwin last week; but has many friends and family still in East Timor.
Hopefully the Australian troops will be able to restore order and make the lives of Ivan's friends and relatives safer. But that will be only the very tip of the iceberg of work that needs to be done to help East Timor build a stable and sustainable nation after centuries of colonialism and oppression by the empire builders of Portugal and the Indonesian military.

Trump's Budget Only Reduces the Deficit If You Accept Some Very Unlikely Assumptions
The really scary thing is that even the CBO's more accurate assessment is also based on unlikely assumptions.
The Trump administration says its budget proposal would cut the annual deficit to about $360 billion over the next 10 years, thanks to booming economic growth and the highly unlikely slashing of domestic spending.
Using more realistic expectations, a new report from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) shows that debts and deficits will continue to grow even if Congress implemented President Donald Trump's proposal wholesale. Trillion-dollar deficits will hit by 2022, according to the CBO, and deficits would total about $9.5 trillion over the next decade, up from the $7.2 trillion that the White House says would be added to the debt by 2028.
The White House projects about 3 percent growth for the next decade, while the CBO expects only about 1.8 percent. That accounts for the "vast majority of the difference in debt estimates," according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan think tank that favors reducing the deficit. The group released its own analysis of the CBO's analysis on Friday.
The CBO's assessment is an attempt to estimate what would happen if Trump's budget plan went into effect, even though it's virtually certain that that it won't. That leads it to a variety of unlikely assumptions.
For example, the CBO assumes that Trump will be successful in cutting more than $1.5 trillion in non-defense discretionary spending, along with another $1 trillion cut from health care spending (mostly in the form of a still-unclear plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act and make unrelated changes to Medicare), and that the administration will cut more than $300 billion from other social welfare programs like food stamps. All those those spending reductions are politically unpalatable and therefore likely to be ignored by Congress, but even if they all happen, the debt would still increase, the CBO says.
"The budget relies on huge cuts to non-discretionary programs that run counter to the large spending increases the President signed into law earlier this year," the CRFB report concludes. "In addition, these changes simply are not sufficient when using realistic economic growth assumptions."
Still, Trump's budget is an improvement on the national debt's current trajectory. Without any policy changes, the CBO projects the deficit would hit $1.5 trillion by 2028.
Like most presidential budgets, there's little reason to think that the spending framework sent months ago from the White House to Congress will ever become law. When it comes to budget-making, Congress does what it wants.
But that doesn't mean a presidential budget is meaningless. It's a part, even if only a small part, of a continuously ongoing conversation about America's spending priorities and long-term fiscal plan. And given how unhappy Trump was about Congress' decision to dump a record-breaking spending bill on his desk in March—"I will never sign a bill like this again," Trump said as he signed the bill that essentially guaranteed $1 trillion annual deficits for the rest of his term—the budget presented to Congress in February, which was subjected to hearings this week, could be seen as a signal from the administration that runaway spending will no longer be tolerated.
It could be that. But only if you buy into the White House's overly rosy assumptions, and believe that Congress will suddenly decide to cut billions from entitlement programs, the military, and other politically sacrosanct line items. In other words, it ain't happening.

You see, kids? Call of Duty lied to you.
All anecdotes of actual armed citizens fending off and/or limiting shootings will be minimized to protect the narrative.
The floggings will continue until moral improves!
Maybe they have enough shame not to pimp out anecdotes to support a narrative that is totally contradicted by all the people who aren't saved from gun violence.
Pointing out that lots of unarmed civilians are successfully murdered every year doesn't contradict the argument that you think it does, child.
It's an election year. Everybody's giving away free shit. That doesn't make it okay, but being naive about these things isn't okay either.
I've been talking Trump pluses and minuses a lot here today--and I just noticed a new big one for him in the plus column.
"WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump signed three executive orders on Friday making it easier for the federal government to fire employees it considers to be poor performers, the White House said, drawing rebukes from union representatives who said the sweeping changes were a "direct assault" on the rights of millions of workers.
The orders reduce the length of time that an employee can be retained using a "performance improvement period," currently ranging from 60 to 120 days depending on the agency, encourage agencies to fire employees rather than suspend them for egregious misconduct, and seek to pare back some of the powers of federal employee labor unions, senior administration officials said.
. . . .
Another order will create a federal labor relations working group to analyze union contracts and encourage agencies to prioritize performance over seniority when they consider layoffs. The third restricts how much on-the-job time federal employees can spend on labor union duties.
I suppose Rand Paul might see this as a cause for criticism, saying that what Trump should do is fire them all immediately and order them to kick each other in the balls for good measure. Apart from silly people complaining about what Trump is doing because of what he also didn't do, there's not much for a libertarian to complain about there.
Rome wasn't burned in a day.
Did it open the borders? That's all you need to complain.
and believe that Congress will suddenly decide to cut billions from entitlement programs, the military, and other politically sacrosanct line items. In other words, it ain't happening.
Or be dumb enough to think that anything on that line besides entitlements matters.
Trillion-dollar deficits will hit by 2022, according to the CBO, and deficits would total about $9.5 trillion over the next decade, up from the $7.2 trillion that the White House says would be added to the debt by 2028.
Future Republicans will just blame Democrats for those trillion dollar deficits.
Meh. Ho hum.
The chart stops at ~2030, but really that's when the fun begins. The unfortunate reality is that discretionary spending, including defense, is largely irrelevant in the big picture. After 2030, SS/Medicaid/Medicare are going to eat us alive, and dwarf everything else. Oh yeah, plus interest.
I'm all for cutting discretionary spending, but agonizing over the short term stuff is peanuts. How about some articles on what to do about SS ? Of all ironies, Reasonmag has taken a shit on a Paul Ryan over and over, but the guy at least saw the big picture regarding entitlements, and attempted to fix it.
So the president's guesses at economic growth contradict the CBO's guesses at economic growth but the president includes actual cuts to budgets.
The Horror!
the CBO's more accurate assessment is also based on unlikely assumptions.
Would someone *kindly* explain what "more accurate" means here?
If you look at predictions from the past, you know it means nothing.
Thanks, D -- I was concerned that Eric's becoming sarcastic.
This is the thing that worries me the most.
"It's a part, even if only a small part, of a continuously ongoing conversation about America's spending priorities and long-term fiscal plan."
Continuously ongoing? Where is this conversation being held? It looks to me like the subject scares most of our elected officials into silence.
Also, how continuously must one ongoing-ly discuss America's spending priorities before everyone admits that without serious entitlement reform the conversation is pointless?
Able-bodied citizens under 65 must work to receive any benefits. People receiving welfare of any kind must pass a drug test. Social Security must be calculated using means testing of some sort. The Disability racket must be disrupted. The government student loan debacle has us out about a trillion dollars; Maybe it isn't working as hoped. And so forth, and so on...yada yada yada. It's all about being reelected and not about anything else with these jokers.

Cassie, he couldn't get any cuter! We Burkharts know what we like and we like Alex! We miss Alex! But these precious videos are the next best thing! When he was counting on his fingers and then paused to "regroup" it was the cutest thing! He is soooo smart and the kinder teacher in me is sooo proud of him! Oh and speaking of letters, we actually got the Letter Factory video from a friend and oh my gosh, she loves it! I didn't think it would hold her attention, but it does, all too well! Thanks for the tip, maybe one day, we can be like Alex!

PD Thanks for this presentation of the facts. I agree entirely with your conclusions. Industrial oils are a 'new' item in our food and so should be treated cautiously.
There was a time when I was swayed by dietary guidelines, I eliminated butter and used margarine & vegetable made from industrial oils . But those days are long past. In recent years it has been butter & olive oil exclusively.
I am intrigued by the huge rise in vegetable oil over the past 50 years in the chart. I suspect that this has more to do with the increased purchases of fried & deep fried foods and such from KFC, Mac Donalds, Burger King etc. Cheap 'fast food' is the sector that has grown hugely in the last 50 years in Oz as well as the USA.Reply
I have been cooking with coconut oil or olive oil for a long time now. Good stuff. I am going to pick up some lard at the local butcher's shop and try that.Reply
Spot on. There is also the hidden risk in soy of being GMO and sprayed with roundup poison as many as 4 times. Rats fed either gmo soy or roundup had reproductive issues and increased cancer. See Serralini's paper and others too. So it may not just be the seed oil itself but the added poisons or genetic issues within where more than 90 percent of soy is GMO. Avoiding it is not simple, have to make your own meals from organic, avoid fried food at restaurants, avoid all processed food, sugar and refined carbs.Reply
Roundup is also on the dirty list as a well known endocrine disruptor, and the amount sprayed on GMO crops is nothing short of criminal:
In fact, what we are seeing (IMO) is the synergestic result of multiple causes. When you combine the effects of highly processed vegetables oils, obesity, pesticides (and RoundUp in particular) you get this 60% drop in male fertility. Sad, indeed….Reply
P.D What's your take on monounsaturated fats?
I realize humans require small amounts of two kinds of polyunsaturated fats from dietary sources. More than that daily requirement (7% of total calories) is unnecessary. But nobody (even the FDA, bless their little 'study' obsessed hearts) seems to have a bad word for monounsaturated fat In fact I couldn't even find a cautionary note about it – at any level.
Apparently the body even manufactures it from saturated fat.
Olive oil has a fair amount of monounsaturates, but also quite a lot of polyunsaturates.
Macadamia oil, on the other hand, has hardly any polyunsaturates (1-2%) between 70% and 85% mono's , and the rest saturated. Also it has a much higher 'smoke point" than even coconut oil – olive oil or butter being perhaps the WORST fats to cook with, though in the case of butter, certainly the most delicious.
Why do you think monounsaturated fats are considered above any reproach , even by the naysayers of both saturated and polyunsaturated fat ?Reply
Monounsaturated fat is healthy, as is saturated. It's the polyunsaturated that you have to beware of, since, as I wrote, they are incorporated into cell structures and signaling molecules. Monounsaturated and saturated fats are mostly either burned for energy or stored.Reply
Veggie Oil, Soy, Endocrine disruptors in practically everything we use day in and out. No wonder this rate dropped so significantly in western countries. Modernity makes men effeminate so thanks for shedding light on these things! Book coming on that topic as well? It would probably read like fiction because things got so absurd.Reply
Thanks, Titus – I should write a book about all this, none in the works yet though.Reply
Flax seeds seem to be another good way besides fish oil – flax seeds seem to provide the highest amount of omega-3s available, and cheaply at that.
Eat a few grams of those a day and you can easily bring that omega-6/3-ratio well down.
Make sure you buy closed (non-ground) seeds and do chew them very well, so they open up, otherwise
they will pass the digestive tract intact and not release the oil.
Do not buy the liquid linseed oil or non-intact/non-closed flax seeds – the oil is so reactive to oxygen that it spoils
in a very short time and becomes toxic – affinity of linseed oil to oxygen is actually so great that it is a mild
pyrophoric, meaning being auto-ignitable in air.
By chewing the seeds up in your mouth you make sure the oil has practically no contact with air before it is
absorbed in the body.
If you want to be perfect, buy non-Canadian flax seeds (from EU or other Americas), for the Canadian one
is known to contain dangerous levels of cadmium due to the Canadian soil and the flax plant absorbing this metal from it.
This may be an especially useful supplement for those who are not willing to give up the tasty omega-6-containing cheap and sweet crap foods altogether – just also eat five grams or so of flaxseeds with your cake, and the damage done to your health will at least be somewhat contained.Reply
I have to correct my given information here:
Flax is still an excellent source of omega-3s – but Mr. Mangan recently posted data in his twitter account detailing the estrogenic activity of foodstuffs – and flax turns out to be so extreme that even smaller quantities, like those one would eat to help one's omega-3 intake (a few grams a day) are not appearing harmless in terms of its effect of the endocrine system.
It seems avoiding flax, minimizing omega-6s and taking fish oil is best.Reply
Camelina oil is a 35 percent rich omega-3 oil grown in Russia and Canada. It contains vitamin E and it can substitute fish oils very well.the omega 3 and omega 6 ratio is 2:1.very good oi' for reducing chlorestrol and triglicrides levels in the blood. Excellent salad oil.cold pressed oil should be consumed one table spoon everyday in empty stomach to reduce the chlorestrol levels.clinical tests are conducted in siberian Academy of sciences. Any questions please write to [email protected]. -chakrapaniReply
Good topic. Got converted from seed oils after noticing TOXIC OILS by David Gallespie in my local library. Much of my bad health in the past was explained, esp regarding injury and inflammation. He later did a very good series like this topic, "How Vegetable Oils are Stealing our Future."
Very interesting note about Israel in that,
"With a measured rate of sperm count decline approximately twice that of any other Western country, experts are predicting that by 2030, average Jewish Israeli sperm counts will drop to a level where reproduction is likely to be impossible.
Israel is the highest consumer of omega-6 fats in the world."
The chosen people need to realise why God wanted the most fatty bits of the animal sacrificed to him. 😉Reply
Another tidbit of note…Vegetable (seed) oils are often promoted for their LDL Cholesterol-lowering ability, however as Dr. Cate Shanahan and others have described, what they actually do is change the cholesterol so that it is not picked up in tests as cholesterol. Whether one thinks LDL is inherently harmful or not (I don't), what the oils produce after they have changed the LDL is apparently clearly harmful, so that is yet another strike against them.Reply
She goes into it in great detail in her speech at Low Carb Vail (or maybe breckenridge?) from last year which is available as a free podcast and I think is on Youtube also.Reply
It seems that there are two considerations when buying a vegetable oil. The primary consideration is the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fats, i.e., the ratio should be as close to 1:1 as possible. The secondary consideration is how the oil is obtained, with expeller/cold pressed the best, and with an industrial/chemical process to be assiduously avoided. For example, olive oil has a ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 of 11:1, and it is usually advertised as cold pressed. So olive oil is considered to be good. Coconut and Palm oils are also considered to be good oils. Is there any other consideration that should be weighed in choosing a vegetable oil? And how do we weigh all these factors?Reply
Hi Conan – you're right, both of those are considerations, but to my mind the omega-6 content outweighs the other. You mention that olive oil is 11:1 omega-6 to 3, but what's missing from that analysis is that olive oil is only about 10% polyunsaturated fat. It's 73% monounsaturated, 14% saturated. Compare that to corn oil at 55% polyunsaturated with a 6/3 ratio of about 50:1. So even if a seed oil was cold- or expeller-pressed or however they make it, I would refrain from using it. I saw a cold-pressed safflower oil the other day for instance. I wouldn't use that.
Other considerations: extra virgin olive oil is better than other kinds; also, there's a great deal of fraud in the olive oil industry, with vegetable oils mixed with olive oil and the whole mix passed off as EVOO, so buyer beware. Also, it should go without saying, beware of hydrogenation. I've seen palm oils sold that way; the lard in my local supermarket is hydrogenated.Reply
Years ago I had an Italian lady friend from Naples. We went shopping together and she bought Australian certified virgin organic olive oil instead of Italian virgin olive oil… at 3 times the price ! I asked her why. She said with a scathing look at me that the olive oil industry in Italy was totally corrupted by hidden additions of cheap vegetable oil…And that the olive oil sold in Italy was mostly grown on trees in North Africa
Now I buy Australian extra virgin olive oil.Reply
We're getting quite a bit of local olive oil now here in California, so it's probably worthwhile for me to buy it for that same reason.Reply
There's a book named "Extra Virginity" by Tom Mueller that explains a lot about the state of olive oil in today's markets and kitchens. A few of the main points he made:
– Light degrades olive oil, so if a bottle is clear, not dark, that means the company selling it doesn't really care about the qualifyt of the olive oil it's selling.
– Only buy a bottle that has a harvest date, and try to get it within a year from when you see it on the shelf. Expiration dates are meaningless since they can choose any length of time they want.
– He agreed that unless you absolutely know the background of the olive oil you are buying, stay away from Italian brands. Most of the olives are from other countries, and a lot of the "extra virgin" oils are cut with soy and other vegetable oils.
– A good rule of thumb for us in the U.S. is to buy Californian, as it is probably fresher and less likely to contain other oils.
Mueller also has a blog where he gives his opinions on various olive oils from around the world and in your markets.Reply
Hi PD,
As a longtime female lurker of Rogue, I am extremely grateful for your interesting, applicable articles and the energy-enhancing changes they have produced within my life.
Any thoughts on subbing with avocado oil? I have recently started using an avocado oil mayonnaise endorsed by a popular paleo lifestyle blog. Love the stuff, although it's a bit expensive. Thanks.
Hi Janette, thanks for saying that, it's much appreciated. Avocado oil is low in polyunsaturated fat, about 13%, putting it in the same league as olive oil. So you're safe with avocado oil mayonnaise, provided you don't eat it by the spoonful out of the jar (something the marathon runner Bill Rogers used to do).Reply

The National Pork Producers Council today applauded the U.S. Senate for passage of a bill to reauthorize mandatory price reporting. The Senate bill is identical to a bill passed by the House a year ago just before the law expired. Senators approved the new five-year reauthorization of the Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act of 1999, with some changes requested by the livestock groups, by unanimous consent.
"Pork producers are extremely grateful to the Senate for taking action on this important legislation," says NPPC President Joy Philippi, a pork producer from Bruning, Neb. "The mandatory price reporting law is an important tool that helps producers make business and production decisions."
NPPC reported this morning that both chambers now have approved "three enhancements to the pork reporting provisions," including:
- Adding more sows to the pricing reports to more accurately reflect the sales and prices paid in the sow market.
- Changing the timing for data reporting to help USDA with its workload and, thus, increase report accuracy and efficiency.
- Allowing USDA to publish price distributions for net prices to provide more useful information than is currently provided by the price ranges specified in the law while maintaining the current confidentiality requirements.

How many of you gorge yourself with food over the holidays with the thought that you will go on a strict diet the following day, Monday or even the next year? It's an all-or-nothing mentality that ends up making you heavier overall, less healthy, and disappointed with yourself. If you watch your weight, you know what I'm talking about! I have five tips to help you to enjoy your holiday food without sabotaging your weight or your mental state.
Either in guacamole, as a replacement for mayo on a sandwich, or just plain with a little bit of salt, avocados are delicious and nutritious! Full of fiber, potassium, folate, vitamins K, C, B6, E, and monounsaturated fat, avocados are great for blood pressure and blood sugar control, as well as for keeping belly fat down. Do you need any more reasons to indulge?
If you really understood how critical omega-3 fatty acids are to keeping your brain sharp, your heart healthy, and your mental health intact, you would make sure you and your family were eating more of them! Omega-3 fats have an important role in reducing inflammation, blood clots, and blood pressure, and are critical for learning, vision, and brain function; especially for the brain development of babies and children. Even childhood food allergies and postpartum depression are linked to a low intake of omega-3 fatty acids! We usually talk about omega-3s in conjunction with seafood, but I have a couple of non-fish suggestions that will help you get more of this incredible fatty acid in your diet. Furthermore, so you don't get confused by tricky labels, I will clue you in on the omega-3 label language and the different kinds of omega-3s.

Swans gear can be hard to find in Melbourne, but I found a little shop (factory outlet) at 885 Wellington Road, Rowville (near the corner of Stud Road) that is a factory outlet for AFL, Rugby, Bands, TV Shows etc merchandise.
They had Swans guernseys for $50 and a varied range of other Swans stuff. Changes all the time, but worth a visit if you're in the area.
Most tshirts are $15 - Game Of Thrones, Vikings, Walking Dead, various bands

In October 2008, FocusShares announced that it was shutting down its four ETFs after the funds had failed to attract significant assets in about a year of operations. That first generation of FocusShares products included hyper-targeted funds such as the Homebuilders Index Fund, SINdex Fund, Homeland Security Index Fund, and Wal-Mart Supplier Index Fund. Almost two and a half years after shuttering its colorful product suite, the firm is preparing for another venture into the ETF space, this time as a low-cost provider of plain vanilla exchange-traded products.
FocusShares, now operating as a unit of Scottrade, is widely expected to offer commission-free trading as a response to attractive platforms rolled out by Schwab, Vanguard, TD Ameritrade, and Fidelity in the last year. The company had previously filed details for four broad U.S. market ETFs (including large, mid, and small cap options) and 11 sector-specific funds (in addition to the nine traditional sectors, real estate and telecom). In a recent SEC filing that seemingly indicates a launch is imminent, FocusShares put the rest of the ETF industry on notice that a new low-cost player is arriving on to the scene [see Free ETF Trading Programs Head-To-Head].
The Focus Morningstar U.S. Market Index ETF (FMU) will charge an expense ratio of just five basis points, undercutting both the Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF (SCHB, 0.06%) and the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI, 0.07%) to become the cheapest option in the All Cap Equities ETFdb Category. FMU will become the cheapest U.S.-listed ETF upon launch; that honor is currently shared by SCHB and VOO.
The Focus Morningstar Large Cap Index ETF (FLG) will also charge five basis points, putting it just below the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) as the cheapest fund in the Large Cap Blend Equities ETFdb Category. iShares (IVV) and State Street (SPY) both offer S&P 500 ETFs with an expense ratio of 0.09% [see Comparing the S&P 500 ETF Options].

Price Wars Continuing
The last year or so has seen a number of issuers lower expense ratios. Schwab and Vanguard kicked off the price wars, going back and forth for the title of "cheapest ETF" with a series of tweaks to their broad-based equity ETFs in late 2009/early 2010. Last year saw a number of other firms get in on the act, including Van Eck, which reduced fees on a handful of its emerging markets funds, and iShares, which cut expenses on its gold ETF in an attempt to eat into GLD's market share. More recently, multiple firms have cut expense ratios on popular ETFs after hitting asset breakpoints.
There is evidence to suggest that investors are gravitating towards the most cost-efficient ETF options. Vanguard, known as the provider behind some of the cheapest ETFs on the market, led all issuers with more than $40 billion in inflows last year. The firm's Emerging Market ETF (VWO) recently surpassed iShares EEM in total assets; both track the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, but VWO is cheaper by a score of 0.22% to 0.69% [see Investors Embracing Low Cost ETFs...Or Are They?].

Hi Moms and Dads,
My name is Aileen, I am currently researching health promoting feeding practices among parents and caregivers in Ireland. I am also the mother of a hungry, food loving, 9 year old boy, and have a personal interest in discovering ways in which a liking of healthy nutritious foods among children develops is promoted. This study is being run from the School of Psychology at the National University of Ireland, Galway. I would love to involve as many parents and caregivers from a diverse range of places and backgrounds in this research. Taking part involves completing a very brief, anonymous, online survey. It takes just 10 minutes to complete.
Specifically, I am looking for parents or caregivers of children aged 2 to 13 years to take part. By completing the survey, which asks you about some of the ways in which you feed your child and some of the ways in which your child responds to meals and snacks, you can choose to be entered into a draw to win one of two "One For All" vouchers each worth €150. Detailed information about the study, and the draw, as well as the survey itself, and my contact details, are available at https://www.esurveycreator.com/s/7869eca.
I would greatly appreciate your participation. Thank you!

Check out today's YEP letters.
This appetite for austerity is all Greek to me
Paul Kilroy, Lawnswood
YOU don't have to be a Communist or Greek to regard cuts and austerity measures as needless, pointless and misdirected.
The latest £45m budget cut in Leeds is a minuscule part of the billions wasted on overseas aid, abortive IT schemes, bureaucracy, management, PC initiatives, financial spivery, corporate tax evasion, quangos, Parliamentary time and their bodies, research projects, consultations and expenses.
All of these can be curtailed without any loss or handicap to anybody or the country as a whole.
These essays in futility, vanity and stupidity will continue to blight our economic lives, regardless of local cuts.
So why should the population have necessary services reduced, recreational and pleasurable activities interfered with, and sources of consolation and emotional support removed?
The worst-placed people suffer disproportionate loss, bear unwarranted costs, and are denied the wherewithal of decent contented living.
Meanwhile the mean, the selfish, the arrogant, the foolish and the privileged continue on their rose-strewn paths.
As my cat is ineligible to stand as a candidate, he can at least make his paw mark in the box I draw on the ballot sheet.
Sign up to save the bus pass
Richard Worrall, Love the Bus Pass Campaign Co-ordinator, Walsall, West Midlands
I AM writing to invite YEP readers to support the 'Love the Bus Pass' petition, supported by tens of thousands of people, hundreds of local groups, and the National Pensioners' Convention.
Strictly non-partisan, the campaign aims to get all parties to pledge before the General Election that, if elected to power on May 7, they will retain the England concessionary bus pass for older and disabled people.
We were able to deliver 152,347 pen-on-paper signatures to No 10 Downing Street last September, testament to the widespread fear among older and disabled people that the pass will be under real threat after the General Election.
With your readers' help, we'll take this total past 200,000 by March 11, when we travel from the Midlands by bus to hand in our final instalment to No 10.
To date, while we've had some encouraging noises, no party has yet made a clear, detailed, unequivocal pledge to retaining the bus pass in its present form.
We simply must ensure all politicians understand that they attack the bus pass at their electoral peril!
Readers may request petition forms and information either by e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com), by phone (01922 448331 or 641084), or by post (46, Winn House, Walsall, WS2 8NW).
Church Fenton has air space
Mel Smart, Farsley
I SHARE the concerns of Aidan Nelson (Your Feedback, February 6) and others regarding Leeds-Bradford Airport.
It is in the wrong place. It is too high up and is always affected by adverse weather because the runway faces north/south and the prevailing winds are from the south west.
There is a perfectly viable alternative at Church Fenton which can be developed over the next five years into an international airport for the whole of the North of England.
It is in private hands, it is not in a built-up area and there is room to expand the existing runway to accommodate jets of any size.
It is also within easy reach of existing rail and road infrastructure.
All it needs is Government backing so come on Mr Cameron, if you want the North of England to prosper get your finger out and do something about it.
Hello to aunt's old workmates
R Bates, Shadwell
MAUREEN Fordley recalls working at Woolworths in 1958 (Your Feedback, January 31). This would be about when my dear, sweet ex-WAAF nurse Aunt Helen was there on the stationery counter.
So let me now take the opportunity to thank Maureen and her then workmates for the happy times that my Mills and Boon devotee spinster aunt often spoke about.
Sadly, Miss Helen Smiles passed away in 2004, but I well remember my beloved aunt's famous-in-the-family reply to customers who asked if a particular kind of pen was a "good writer".
She would reply: "Certainly it's a good writer – and also a very good speller".
United fans all stand together
Nick Quin, Kirkstall
I've grown up supporting Leeds United Football Club. Despite the trials and tribulations of the last decade (and more), there remains a sense of togetherness.
That is why I was so disappointed to see Leeds United describe itself in the singular this week.
"Leeds United is" should never be uttered or written. Leeds United will always be more than a company, more than one man, more than the club from the wrong side of the hill who have so completely embraced commercialism.
What's next? The official Mexican Potato chip partner of Leeds United? No thank you. United we stand.
Counting cost of councillors
Linda McCarthy, Leeds
With regards to the council cuts, why on earth do we need 99 councillors? It is ridiculous. We have more councillors per area than America!
I wonder what their totals are for the year with expenses. I dread to think.
If we are all in this together, why can't they reduce the number of councillors that us rate payers are paying for? They would save a fortune. We have all had to make cutbacks.
Snow joke for bus commuters!
Malcolm Nicholson, Barwick-in-Elmet
A GOVERNMENT warning on the radio suggests anyone travelling in icy conditions should take a shovel, hat, blankets, a supply of food and drink, de-icer, rock salt, a torch and spare batteries, a petrol can, first-aid kit and jump leads.
I felt a right fool on the bus.

Internship postings are available in every department, including the Center for Sustainability and Industrial Technology department. Students can also go online to Internships.com to browse through almost 200,000 available openings.
"We have internships available in almost all of my programs such as automotive and welding," said Richard Fort, interim dean of the Technology Division. "We want the internships to be something to get credit for. It needs to be something that's related to what [the students] are doing in school."
Along with internships, the Industrial Technology department now requires job shadowing in their graphic analysis course within local companies at the technician level. Job shadowing is already offered through the career center and is available for any student enrolled at the college.
"What we did in our program, was make [job shadowing] a requirement for the class," said Tom Hughes, Chair of the Drafting department. "This is the first semester we have actually rolled it out, and we have gotten pretty good feedback so far."
Like most departments at the college, the Industrial Technology department offers internship courses every semester that are available for the students. The internships offer experience at local companies for college credit. Though most internships are external, the Sustainability department offers internships that take place on campus.
"Almost every semester, I have at least one opening [for an internship]," said Krystal Anton, Recycling and Waste Minimization Coordinator for the Center of Sustainability. "We usually post it three to four weeks before the end of the semester, and it's paid. You can stay for more than one semester. So, it's 630 hours a year and we can divide that out, depending on how long you're going to be here. I've had interns that stayed six semesters in a row."
Students that work through the center for only need to be enrolled in one course at the college in order to apply for an internship. The interns take part in various activities such as driving the tractor around the farm and dumping trash into a compost.
"I've been an intern here for four semesters," said student Elizabeth Cloud. "I have learned about what's recyclable and why it's recyclable. The things that are compostable are more than people would expect and seeing the science behind waste production has been really, really interesting. So stats from the waste audit to even just how much we put in of compost versus sawdust and woodchips and how it affects the temperatures is fascinating to me. I'm going toward environmental science, so the science behind it is really intriguing."

Beaver Scouts (ages 6-8) are our youngest members – that's us. We usually meet weekly to take part in a wide range of activities including games, crafts, visits and good turns, along with plenty of outdoor activities.
Beavers make a promise to do their best, to be kind and helpful and to love God. And we follow the universal Scout motto : Be Prepared!
So if you're prepared to have some fun and learn something along the way have a browse through the site and get in touch. Scouting has opportunities for all people ages 6+ whether you want your child to join a section or maybe you want to volunteer with one of the groups.
Join the adventure!
*Please note : There is a very long waiting list so it is closed to children 7+, who should instead contact the Cubs section by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com; children under 7 can be added to the Beaver waiting list by contacting email@example.com but please be aware there is still a long wait. Children arriving from other countries who are already invested in another Beaver colony will get priority for any places available.

BOSTON — An American priest named by Pope Francis as the Vatican's sex crimes prosecutor in September was among church officials who failed to report an abusive priest to law enforcement before the now-jailed and defrocked man committed other acts of sexual abuse, according to legal documents reviewed by The Boston Globe.
The Rev. Robert Geisinger, the second-highest-ranking leader of the Chicago Jesuits in the 1990s, knew as early as 1995 about abuse complaints against the Rev. Donald McGuire, and he advised church officials as late as August 2002 on how to discipline McGuire, the Globe (http://bit.ly/1FfOFh7 ) reported in Sunday editions. The newspaper cited legal documents including church records produced during lawsuits by McGuire's victims.
Court documents also show that abuse complaints against McGuire date back to the 1960s, but the Jesuits failed for years to tell police.
McGuire, 84, is in federal prison serving a 25-year sentence. The former spiritual adviser to Mother Theresa, who once commanded a worldwide following as a gifted teacher and philosopher, is considered one of the most influential figures convicted in the Catholic Church's sexual abuse scandal.
Geisinger declined to comment late Sunday, citing the late hour. He referred questions from The Associated Press to the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi.
Lombardi said in a statement that Geisinger has a "solid and proven record in child protection dating back nearly two decades." Lombardi said that Geisinger, while serving with the Chicago Jesuits, "voiced concerns" about McGuire's conduct and was the canon lawyer who prepared the case that led to McGuire's dismissal from the clerical state. ...
David Clohessy, director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, released a statement Sunday urging Pope Francis to rescind the appointment of Geisinger as sex crimes prosecutor.
"Why on earth would Francis pick a priest with a problematic track record on abuse in the U.S. to deal with abuse worldwide?" Clohessy said. "Why choose one who so clearly and repeatedly refused to call the law or tell the truth about a notorious, now-imprisoned serial predator?"
Bishop Charles Scicluna, Geisinger's predecessor as chief sex crimes prosecutor, or "promoter of justice," told the AP that Geisinger's previous work in the church as procurator general in Rome for the Jesuits was excellent.
"He is a fine canonist dedicated to serving as a very strong promoter of justice," Scicluna said.

|A slightly blurry picture of a Pacific Tree Frog (only had the phone camera handy - as usual)
I already love these cute, little frogs (which only grow 3-5cm in length) so it was a pleasure to learn a bit more about them. They can range in colour from emerald green to light brown, but the dark stripe extending from their nostrils, through their eye, to their shoulder is their most distinguishing characteristic. I found a great Pacific Tree Frog factsheet on a British Columbia ministry website from which I learned that the Pacific Tree Frog is considered a "yellow-listed" species in BC. This means they are quite common and are managed at the ecosystem level. Protecting the shallow wetlands they use for breeding and laying eggs is most important. According to some information I found on wikipedia they are considered a keystone species due to their importance in the food chain. While the adult frogs eat spiders and insects their predators include a variety of snakes, birds, mammals and amphibians.
Pacific Tree Frogs breed in the late winter, or early spring depending on the local weather conditions. They make their way to shallow wetlands where the females lay anywhere from 10-90 eggs each. Shallow wetlands are ideal as the water usually dries up by summer, making the site uninhabitable for a couple of possible predators, such as fish and bullfrogs. As you can imagine the eggs, tadpoles, and the 1cm size frog that leaves the water within a couple of months, would all be quite vulnerable. Outside of breeding season these frogs can make their homes in a wide range of habitats, including the flower pot in your backyard.
The Pacific Tree Frog factsheet also has a little map showing where these frogs can be found in British Columbia. They are also found south along the west coast of the United States as far as Mexico, and were apparently introduced to Haida Gwaii by a kid who released a jar full of tadpoles he had collected on Vancouver Island. If you live in these areas keep your ears open for the distinct sound of these frogs, which is quite loud given their size. According to a couple of websites I came across their call is commonly used as background noise in movies.

Hebrews 7:27–28
From the Confessions: The Defense of the Augsburg Confession
Concerning the Mass
Therefore, if anyone insists that a priest is required to make an offering for sins in the New Testament, this must be granted only to Christ. The entire Epistle to the Hebrews confirms this interpretation. If we were to seek any other satisfaction in addition to the death of Christ that is effectual for the sins of others and that reconciles God, this would be nothing more than appointing other mediators besides Christ.
Pulling It Together
Either Christ is the full and final atonement for the sins of the world, or he is not. In the latter case, two things are true. First, new and daily sacrifices would need to continue on behalf of sinners everywhere. Second, Christ would no longer be our Savior. He is either Savior, or he is not. If he has saved us, then sacrifices are no longer necessary. If he has not saved us, then bring on the priests. A system of works demands a priestly system, while faith insists it has no need for priests and sacrifices because it has a Savior.
Prayer: Thank you, God, for appointing us a Savior. Amen.

Taking realistic steps toward eliminating traffic fatalities
By Jean Shiomoto
You may have already read and heard that U.S. highway deaths in 2016 totaled 40,200, up 6 percent from 2015 and the first time the annual fatality total has exceeded 40,000 since 2007. With nine out of 10 fatal crashes being caused by driver action or inaction, the potential to mitigate human error on our roadways means lives saved.
"Saving Lives" is the last line of the AAMVA Vision because one of our key responsibilities is to license drivers and promote traffic safety. Last October, AAMVA became a founding member of the new national coalition Road to Zero, which is spearheaded by the National Safety Council and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Together, they outlined a vision and roadmap to end highway fatalities in the next 30 years.
In our roles in our respective jurisdictions, we can support and contribute to this vision. As the director of the California Department of Motor Vehicles, I'm on California's Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Executive Committee, which is responsible for a statewide safety plan that provides a comprehensive framework for reducing highway fatalities and serious injury on all public roads. It involves the combined efforts of state agencies as well as representatives of local, tribal and federal safety partners.
The SHSP has challenge areas that outline realistic, achievable action steps—with associated measurable outcomes—to move closer to zero deaths attributable to motor vehicle crashes. The comprehensive nature of the plan includes all four Es of safety: engineering, enforcement, education and emergency medical services (EMS). Strategies identified for the four Es of safety are:
- Engineering: A strategy is to improve the safety of pedestrian crossing by using proven effective countermeasures.
- Enforcement: A strategy is to enhance the utilization of DUI treatment programs, emerging innovations and system monitoring to reduce DUI offenses among high-risk offenders.
- Education: A strategy is to develop and disseminate education materials, programs and tools that explain how the aging process may affect safe driving.
- EMS: A strategy is to increase involvement by EMS leaders in the SHSP.
At the 2017 AAMVA Workshop and Law Institute held in Minneapolis in March, we heard from Col. Matt Langer, chief of the Minnesota State Patrol. He echoed the vision and roadmap set by the Road to Zero initiative to end highway fatalities in the next 30 years. Law enforcement agencies are on the roadways each day and night, and far too often they are the first responders at a crash. I value law enforcement's commitment to achieve zero traffic deaths. Join me in this commitment to eliminating traffic fatalities.
Jean Shiomoto
2016–2017 AAMVA Chair of the Board
