Measuring the Obama Administration's Historic Midnight Surge
Sofie E. Miller and Daniel R. Pérez
Scholars model the impact of regulations issued in the final months of the Obama Administration.
In anticipation of the final months of President Obama's Administration, many predicted an upswing in "midnight" regulations. These are rules that are finalized during the three months between Election Day and Inauguration Day, as the outgoing President attempts to cement his regulatory legacy. In a series of essays in The Regulatory Review, we used quantitative models to make similar predictions, drawing on historical data to forecast that President Obama would issue more economically significant rules than Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush.
Now that the data are in, we find that our forecasts were remarkably accurate: President Obama left office with a bang, issuing 41 economically significant rules between November 1, 2016 and January 19, 2017. As we detailed in our previous essays, significant surges in midnight rules are the norm for outgoing administrations, and they have been for almost 70 years. During the midnight period, both Republican and Democratic presidents have overseen significant increases in regulatory activity. Some onlookers find this trend problematic because the last-minute rush to regulate, according to some studies, has been found to give rise to less thorough regulatory analysis and fewer opportunities for public participation.
When we at the George Washington University Regulatory Studies Center published our report on midnight regulations last summer, we projected that federal executive branch agencies would issue, on average, 12 economically significant rules per month during the final three months of President Obama's Administration. In order to make these forecasts, we built quantitative models based on publicly available historical rulemaking data and data on President Obama's rulemaking activity from 2009 to 2015. These models indicated that during last three months of President Obama's time in office, his Administration issued an average of 13.6 rules per month, showing that President Obama was an even more active midnight regulator than his predecessors.
Source: Authors' own counts based on publicly available rulemaking data from RegInfo.gov and FederalRegister.gov. See www.regulatorystudies.gwu.edu/reg-stats.
Our forecasts with respect to economically significant rules were also telling. Economically significant rules are those rules expected to result in $100 million or more in annual costs or benefits to the economy. They are the biggest rules, and those anticipated to have the greatest effect on the public. Our models had predicted that the 12 economically significant rules that the Obama Administration issued during the midnight period would have resulted in a minimum of $3.6 billion in annual economic effects—no small feat.
Yet even our forecasted increase fell short of the actual regulatory activity: executive branch agencies have published 41 economically significant rules during President Obama's midnight period, averaging approximately 13.6 rules per month—roughly three times the Administration's normal monthly rate. Notably, Sam Batkins of the American Action Forum estimates that just the 33 final midnight regulations with the highest economic impact added up to $40 billion in total costs, or over $8 billion per year.
On top of these economic impacts, the midnight rules also contribute billions of dollars in annual benefits. This last-minute flurry brought President Obama's total number of economically significant rules over his eight-year term to 481, surpassing both Presidents Clinton's and Bush's respective totals of 361 and 358.
Some have argued that President Obama's influx of economically significant rules is not really an increase over past presidents', because the threshold for economically significant has not been adjusted for inflation over time. However, this claim does not quite hold water: half of the economically significant rules issued during President Obama's term have annual economic impacts of over $1 billion, and 96 percent of all of President Obama's economically significant rules would still be considered economically significant even after adjusting for inflation. These increases represent real economic impacts on all Americans—increases that are also driven by the 41 economically significant regulations issued during the midnight period.
Not surprisingly, many of the Obama Administration's midnight rules were related to the President's regulatory priorities. These included stricter environmental standards, energy efficiency rules for appliances, and rules implementing elements of the Affordable Care Act. Close to 30 percent of these economically significant rules were issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The regulatory books, however, do not necessarily close at the stroke of midnight. A unique tool available under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) allows Congress more easily to undo some of the regulations that the Obama Administration put in place during the midnight rush. Although Congress has until now only overturned one rule using the CRA's disapproval mechanisms, each midnight regulation from the Obama Administration would be eligible for a vote under the CRA, as that law's disapproval procedure extends back to rules issued after June 13, 2016. The use of the CRA could enable the current Administration to undo regulations from the midnight period. What this means is that the final legacy of President Obama's regulatory agenda ultimately rests in the hands of the 115th Congress and President Donald Trump.

Tudor, C., Mphahlele, M., Van der Walt, M., & Farley, J. E.
SETTING: Twenty-four drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) hospitals and wards across all nine provinces of South Africa.
OBJECTIVE: To assess health care workers' (HCWs') fears of working in multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) or extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) wards.
DESIGN: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from June to September 2009 in 24 drug-resistant TB hospitals across South Africa. HCWs completed a self-administered questionnaire, including one open-ended question regarding personal concerns about their fear of contracting MDR- or XDR-TB. Responses were analysed by content analysis.
RESULTS: Among the 24 hospitals, 499 HCWs were surveyed, of whom 363 (73%) responded to the open-ended question: 286 (86%) were nurses, 38 (11%) medical officers and 10 (3%) others. Six major themes regarding fears associated with the personal risk of acquiring drug-resistant TB emerged. These included the fear of 1) developing MDR- and XDR-TB, 2) the treatment course, 3) the financial implications, 4) family concerns, 5) working environment and 6) psychosocial issues.
CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that the greatest fear of HCWs working in drug-resistant TB wards is contracting MDR- or XDR-TB and infecting others. This fear may negatively impact the provision of quality patient-centred care, and highlights the need for training of HCWs in infection control measures, and specifically on how HCWs can protect themselves and others from developing TB.

Three generations of Eagle Scouts in Thurnau family – The Daily Gazette
Three generations of Eagle Scouts in Thurnau family
Carl J. Thurnau's favorite memory from his time as a Boy Scout was in 1952, when he traveled to a sc
By Michaela Kilgallen/For The Daily Gazette | January 23, 2016
New Eagle Scout Carl Jacob Thunau, center, is flanked by his father, Carl Thomas Thurnau, left, and grandfather, Carl James Thurnau, also Eagle Scouts. (provided photo)
Carl J. Thurnau's favorite memory from his time as a Boy Scout was in 1952, when he traveled to a scout camp in New Mexico.
"We had a period where we actually used burros," he recalled. "We had like 25 of them, and we had to pack them every morning. I remember distinctly we were going up this big mountain with an ice cold stream with multiple bridges, and the burros will not go on the bridges. So, We had to wade through the ice cold water."
Recently, he made the journey back to Philmont Scout Ranch this time with his son and grandson to tackle some of the same activities. But back in 1952, Thurnau never received the patch that scouts now receive for accomplishing the trek.
"So, when he went back in 2014 he talked to the camp director of Philmont," Carl J. Thurnau's son Carl T. Thurnau said. "Then he talked about the burros, 'All I remember are those darn burros refuse to go on the bridge,' and he pulled out a patch and said, 'They still won't go on those bridges.' "
Carl J. Thurnau, his son Carl T. Thurnau, and his grandson Carl "Jake" Thurnau are not only Boy Scouts, they are also all Eagle Scouts, a feat only 6 percent of scouts accomplish, according to the Boy Scouts of America.
To become an Eagle Scout, a Boy Scout must make their way through six preliminary ranks, earn 21 merit badges, demonstrate scouting principles, plan and develop a final Eagle Scout project, actively participate in the troop for at least six months between each rank, and participate in a unit leader conference and board of review.
Carl J. Thurnau said that a total of 10 scouts in their extended family have become Eagle Scouts. To achieve his Eagle Scout, Jake Thurnau helped to restore benches at Jenkins Park in Burnt Hills. He also built new benches and a trail map for the park.
"From the woman that I worked with, she lives right across from the park, she says that she hears compliments on them now and again," he said.
Carl J. Thurnau said that back in his day, things were a little different, and scouts were not required to complete a project. He became involved in scouts thanks to his father, who also joined as a boy. And from then on, the tradition just kept going.
"It was just a great opportunity because we had trips once a month, and we could go out and do different things, and go to different places," Carl T. Thurnau said. "I'm still an outdoorsman. For me it was a perfect opportunity to get out there, and continue getting out there and expose my son to things that I like."
This common thread between the three generations has strengthened their bond, and they go on annual trips together that utilize the skills they have learned through Boy Scouts.
"We've done a lot of things together; we go on an annual fishing trip together in Canada; we go deer hunting together," Carl T. Thurnau said.
"Some of us are more successful than others," Carl J. Thurnau added. "Me being unsuccessful."
Although some details have changed a bit since Carl J. and Carl. T were scouts, the fundamentals have remained the same.
"I just think its a great opportunity to teach young boys lots of important skills they may or not need depending on what the future holds," Carl T. Thurnau said. "I learned a lot and of course with all of the different merit badges, like 120 different merit badges, there's tons of different things you can use to pique your interest. Of course, with the younger generation now they have robotics, computers. Instead of map and compass now it's geocaching."
Carl J. Thurnau jumped in, "New titles, same stuff."

The Certified Angus Beef® Program was formed in 1978 to provide assurances of beef quality and flavor to consumers, who during the 1970's were largely dissatisfied with beef quality. It was a venture that strengthened relationships between the American Angus Association, beef producers, packers and distributors.
Generations of America's farmers and ranchers do the selecting, raising and feeding so their licensed restaurant and grocery store partners can offer the very best Angus beef available. You will taste the difference – and so will your family!
Not all Angus is equal. Other labels may say Angus, but that's where the similarities end. The difference is in the flavor. And that's where Certified Angus Beef® brand sets the bar. Beef must pass 10 stringent quality specifications to earn the brand's premium mark, ensuring you always enjoy flavorful, tender, juicy cuts of beef. Every pound of Certified Angus Beef® product is tracked for assured product integrity. The Certified Angus Beef® brand – truly Angus beef at its best.
We are proud to offer Certified Angus Beef®.


The Bread Bakers Guild of America (BBGA) held another of its outstanding regional events this past weekend in San Antonio, Texas, and I was lucky enough to be able to attend it. The topic was "All About Ciabatta." I already knew the instructor, Didier Rosada, for having taken a couple of memorable classes with him at the San Francisco Baking Institute, a few years back.
I had seen how simple mixtures of flour, salt, yeast and water morph under his care into voluptuously silky and bubbling organisms that almost seem to purr as they spring to life. I knew him for a natural born teacher whose knowledge of dough chemistry and physics and all things bread is encyclopedic. I fondly remembered his sunny Southwestern-France accent and his easy laughter, not to mention his gift for languages (Didier switches effortlessly from English to French to Spanish and back) and I knew the class was going to be a unique experience. I wasn't disappointed.
We had arrived one day early to take in the sights, mostly the Alamo, the cathedral, the Mexican market and the River Walk. Coming from 58°F and overcast skies in Seattle however, the 97°F Texas weather was a bit of a shock. We baked in more way than one all weekend and didn't get to see or do all we had planned but we still fell under the spell of the city, its winding river and its many bridges.
Although we took back with us the best ciabattas of our lives, I am under no illusion that I will be able to emulate Didier's talent anytime soon, if ever. But I'll certainly do my best to apply what he taught us and share it on this blog. I just need to find out first how much time and energy I will have for baking and blogging once my treatment for breast cancer starts in earnest (we are still waiting for some test results), and get organized.
Didier's next BBGA event is scheduled for this fall at the International Baking Industry Exposition in Las Vegas. It will be a lecture on Las Buenas Practicas de Panificación (The Best Practices of Bread Baking) and he will deliver it in Spanish, together with Juan Manuel Martinez, a talented and passionate artisan baker from Bogotá, Colombia, who taught a popular class at WheatStalk last year. Considering the growing number of Spanish-speakers employed in artisan bakeries across America, I suspect the event will be mobbed.
Didier and Juan Manuel have co-authored Pan, Sabor y Tradición, a bread book which will hopefully be soon translated into English and made available in this country, and together with Miguel Galdós, another master baker (or "bread boy" as they like to call themselves), he has founded El Club del Pan (The Bread Club). I especially like El Club del Pan's videos. Such is the power of images that even non-Spanish speakers might find them instructive. Check them out and some of the magic may rub off onto your baking hands. I certainly hope it will onto mine!
I have the feeling you will go very smoothly through your treatment, so my fingers are crossed for you!
Thank you, Sally! Your support means a huge lot to me.
Thank you so much, Joanna! The good part about ciabatta is that there is no shaping, just gentle dividing. I took so many videos I can't remember them all but hopefully I'll have a good one of Didier dividing and setting ciabattas to proof. Three things to remember: use a lot of flour, proof upside down but bake downside up and no matter what the recipe says, don't dimple!
Thanks MC – look forward to learning more from you soon!
Thank you, Anonymous! i appreciate your taking the time to leave me these kind words of encouragement and support.
Envious!! Thanks for sharing such beautiful pictures. Oh, if I could ever make bread that looked like that.
Me too, Ann, believe me! I will try. Didier said there is nothing like trying again and again. Lots of ciabattas in our futures but who's complaining?
Hi Sam, no, Didier didn't use any milk and none of the ciabattas were handmade although he said it could be done and I have done it myself as well. Mostly he demonstrated various mixing techniques and tried to teach us how to decide when folding was necessary or not as well as when to stop folding. I am pretty sure I have notes or videos and I'll share those when I post my post-class ciabatta. As for levain, he said he likes to add maybe 10% that acts as a flavor complementing the other preferments. I'll try that for sure!
Yes, what a year… Thank you for sending warm thoughts our way! It does help.
Thank you, Alan! The support of our virtual community does make a huge difference and I can't say enough how grateful I am to all of you.
Wonderful descriptions MC! The photos are so telling and as usual, beautifully composed.
Just look at Didier Rosada- there's a person who does what he loves and it shows. I'd love to attend the type of baking events held stateside.
Best wishes for the 29th and onwards.
Lots of love to you all from us here.
Thanks for the lovely photos, MC, it looks like a beautiful place. I had thought to bake my own bread years ago, I bought a bread maker. Perhaps I will get back to it, and actually use it!
All the best and good luck with your treatment. Best wishes on your anniversary.
MC, I am thinking of you and your family today. Just thought you should know.
Just stopping by to send love and prayers.
I am also thinking of you, Noah and your family today. May your day be filled with love and peace.
as well good luck for you and your family. Life is not fair at all.
Mr. Rosada's class must have been amazing – what beautiful ciabatta!
San Antonio looks very beautiful, too. Love the splashes of bright color, patio umbrellas viewed from under the bridge, and flags flying.
Your readers have written such caring and supportive comments – my best wishes and positive thoughts are with you as well.

Lasik eye surgery: Federal health advisers seek clearer warnings on Lasik eye surgery
David Shell shows a chart of his vision after having Lasik surgery while speaking at a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hearing in Gaithersburg, Md., Friday, April 25, 2008, to discuss Lasik surgery.
In fury and despair, patients harmed by Lasik eye surgery told federal health advisers Friday of severe eye pain, blurred vision and even a son's suicide. The advisers recommended that the government warn more clearly about the risks of the hugely popular operations.
About 700,000 Americans a year undergo the elective laser surgery. Like golf star and famed Lasik recipient Tiger Woods, they're hoping to throw away their glasses, just as the ads say.
And while the vast majority benefit — most see 20-20 or even better — about one in four people who seeks Lasik is not a good candidate. A small fraction, perhaps 1 percent or fewer, suffer serious, life-changing side effects: worse vision, severe dry eye, glare, inability to drive at night.
"Too many Americans have been harmed by this procedure and it's about time this message was heard," David Shell of Washington told the Food and Drug Administration's scientific advisers before their recommendation that the FDA provide clearer warnings.
Shell held up large photographs that he said depict his blurred world, showing halos around objects and double vision, since his 1998 Lasik.
"I see multiple moons," he said angrily. "Anybody want to have Lasik now?"
Colin Dorrian was in law school when dry eye made his contact lenses so intolerable that he sought Lasik, even though a doctor noted his pupils were pretty large. Both the dry eye and pupil size should have disqualified Dorrian, but he received Lasik anyway — and his father described six years of eye pain and fuzzy vision before the suburban Philadelphia man killed himself last year.
"As soon as my eyes went bad, I fell into a deeper depression than I'd ever experienced, and I couldn't get out," Gerard Dorrian read from his son's suicide note.
Matt Kotsovolos, who worked for the Duke Eye Center when he had a more sophisticated Lasik procedure in 2006, said doctors classify him as a success because he now has 20-20 vision. But he said, "For the last two years I have suffered debilitating and unremitting eye pain. … Patients do not want to continue to exist as helpless victims with no voice."
The sober testimonies illustrated that a decade after Lasik hit the market, there still are questions about just how often patients suffer bad outcomes from the $2,000-per-eye procedure.
But one thing is clear, said Dr Jayne Weiss of Detroit's Kresge Eye Institute, who chairs the FDA advisory panel: "This is a referendum on the performance of Lasik by some surgeons who should be doing a better job."
The FDA advisers — a group of mostly glasses-wearing eye doctors — recommended that the agency make more clear the warnings it already provides for would-be Lasik patients:
_ Add photographs that illustrate what people suffering certain side effects actually see, such as the glare that can make oncoming headlights a huge "starburst" of light.
_ Clarify how often patients suffer different side effects, such as dry eye. Some eye surgeons say 31 percent of Lasik patients have some degree of dry eye before surgery, and it worsens for about 5 percent afterward. Other studies say 48 percent of Lasik recipients suffer some degree of dry eye months later.
_ Make more understandable the conditions that should disqualify someone from Lasik, such as large pupils or severe nearsightedness.
_ And spell out that anyone whose nearsightedness is fixed by Lasik is guaranteed to need reading glasses in middle age, something that might not be needed if they skip Lasik.
That's a big reason why Weiss, the glasses-wearing ophthalmologist, won't get Lasik even though she offers it to her patients.
"I can read without my glasses and … operate without my glasses, and I love that," she said. "The second aspect is I would not tolerate any risk for myself. … Does that mean Lasik is good or not good? It means Lasik is good but not for everyone."
Lasik is marketed as quick and painless: Doctors cut a flap in the cornea — the eye's clear covering — aim a laser underneath it and zap to reshape the cornea for sharper sight.
The FDA agrees with eye surgeons' studies that only about 5 percent of patients are dissatisfied with Lasik. What's not clear is exactly how many of those suffer lasting severe problems and how many just didn't get quite as clear vision as they had expected.
The most meticulous studies come from the military, where far less than 1 percent of Lasik recipients suffer serious side effects, said Dr. David Tanzer, the Navy's Medical Corps commander. That research prompted Lasik to be cleared last year both for Navy aviators and NASA astronauts.
"The word from the guys that are out there standing in harm's way, whose lives depend on their ability to see, are asking you to please not take this away," said Lt. Col. Scott Barnes, a cornea specialist at Fort Bragg who described Army troops seeking Lasik after losing their glasses in combat.
No one's actually considering restrictions on Lasik — but the FDA is pairing with eye surgeons to begin a major study next year to better understand who has bad outcomes.
"Millions of patients have benefited" from Lasik, said Dr. Peter McDonnell of Johns Hopkins University, a spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmologists. "No matter how uncommon, when complications occur, they can be distressing. … We're dedicated to doing everything in our power to make the Lasik procedure even better for all our patients."

I had Lasik about five years ago, and didn't have any problems until the end of 2006, when I started seeing blurriness. I wasn't too concerned at the time, because the doctor who performed my surgery had a high success rate, and was considered one of the best surgeons in the area. I thought I just needed a touch-up and things should be fine.
Turns out that I had ectasia – a LASIK-induced form of a preexisting corneal disease called keratoconus. Keratoconus causes the corneal tissue in your eye to start thinning out. It's hard to detect (out of all the specialists I saw, only one could point out where the problem might have originated). This condition began a nightmare of doctors visits, ongoing medical bills, and a major emotional toll on my life.
Anyway, aside from the surgeon making a comment along the lines of "Your corneas are a little on the thin side, but it should be okay," I was never fully informed about the possible consequences (the internet wasn't as prevalent as it is now) and NEVER heard about this condition from any of the doctors that I went to to research Lasik


Tomoka Correctional Institution [sic] in Florida has guards who allegedly taunt the deaf, abuse them, and ridicule them. Probably this treatment is not what the jurors had in mind during sentencing, but according to the head of a nonprofit advocating for human rights. She is suing on behalf of 21 deaf prisoners, including one who reported the abuse but has not been seen opr heard of since.
Cocklebur Press publishes each and every brief read at the Supreme Court. One of its employees, Shon Hopwood, operates it blog and recently brought the graphic novel Prison Grievances: when to write, how to write, to the attention of its followers.
At the solitary confinement unit, Central Prison, North Carolina officers and supervisors face a federal lawsuit on behalf of 8 inmates–and all future inmates. Beatings, etc., allegedly took place in the blind spots that cameras can't reach. The lawsuit requests cameras everywhere due to the pervasive atmosphere of abuse.
It took years and the dedication of many affected, effective supporters, but they closed the notorious super max in Illinois. They did it with the help of photographers and artists, among others. Maybe each state should focus on one example of cruelty and inhumanity, and get it closed. How marvelous that activists were able to get artists and community folk into the legislature and out on the streets.
It costs me less than 10 cents a minute to call Switzerland. It costs inmates so crazy much, between the connecting fees and per minute charges, just to call home, that the FCC is actually taking a first step toward regulating this money-eating monstrosity. It needs to take the final step and just close down the industry that bleeds the poorest citizens dry; then they should require states to offer competitive bidding for phone companies Inside, just as they do Outside.
It's not a Dickens tale, nor a relic of America Before Enlightenment. Nope. It is possible to be put in jail for being too poor to pay municipal, city, etc., fines. And when you're in jail, you aren't working to make money to pay off those fines. A fine kettle of fish, eh? The Ohio ACLU hopes to bring this medieval practice to light; how to stop the cycle? Maybe community service?

Heavy investment in research, design and innovation result in premium tyres benefiting from improved stopping distances, fuel economy, grip (especially in wet conditions) and lower noise level.
You can consider some of the tyre brands like Bridgestone, Kumho, Dunlop, Goodyear, Michelin or Pirelli.


I have a small candle holder made of glass (a little bigger than a tea light candle) that broke on its own, twice. I had a small amethyst crystal in it and am wondering if it was the crystal's energy that broke it. The first time the holder broke in half, on the shelf, with one half falling to the floor. I was sitting close by the shelf when it occurred. The second time (a few days later), the crystal was beside the broken candle holder (same shelf). A friend and I were sitting not that far away when I heard the crack of the glass breaking again. For some reason, I was immediately drawn to go see the broken candle holder. Astounded, I found one of the halves broken in half.
I'm thinking of a few possibilities. It was the crystal's energy. Or, it was the crystal's and my energy together. Or, it was a sign from a spirit, as I am sensing their presence in my new apartment. Or, glass can break by itself!?
hmm, well I think it would be very odd for glass to break on its own with no heat involved. Now if there was a candle burning in it at the time it might be a fault in the glass.
I can't imagine what would cause that. I am tending to believe it was spirit ... no reason ... just thinking maybe.
I'm with gypsy and going with Spirit, as I have never heard of anything like that happening; especially since it broke so cleanly. I'm at a loss. Interesting experience !
Maybe too much energy in the crystal. Some crystals do that, if they collect up too much energy and the crystal itself needs clearing.
The alternative is to ask the glass what it wishes to be used for, may sound silly but try it. Because you now have two halves there, so it might want to be used for a different purpose. The other thing is if someone in spirit is asking for your attention and is visiting letting you know they are there. I once had a reading done offline a few years ago and when they stepped back because I was still doubting their presence at the time - they knocked the head of the statue of the owl that the reader had on their stall desk. So I stopped doubting then because it was good confirmation for me. Shame about her owl though... but she got it fixed.
Thank you CelticRose for your feedback. I appreciate it. I think that there is a strong possibility that it is someone in spirit seeking my attention. I actually think there are more than a few spirits in my apartment. I am in acceptance of all of this, however I am not sure how to proceed. I am told that I am clairvoyant and empathic. Personally I think I am clairsentient. I feel like I am to assist and help heal, but am limited in knowledge and feel that if I am to pursue this, I must do so with support.
When I first read this I too assumed there was a candle burning inside the holder however I've read comments and can now see this wasn't the case.
It's very interesting indeed. I'd first look for heat sources. Was the holder underneath a radiator or a lamp that was turned on? Was it in direct sunlight? If not, then I have no idea what would cause glass to crack in such a way!
It's possible that the crystal energy broke it. I have never encountered such a power before, however if I know one thing it's that anything is possible in this universe.

OPINION AND ANALYSIS | 09-06-2018 09:05
Cambiemos must change
The house of cards begun to fall apart toward the end of 2017, damaging Cambiemos' relationships with its circumstantial allies, and severely wounding the Central Bank's credibility.
Agustino Fontevecchia
Argentina will have to rid itself of the illusion of being a prosperous nation in the short and even medium-term. | JOAQUIN TEMES
The tempest behind him, President Mauricio Macri appears convinced that he must double-down in order to set Argentina on a path of continued progress. Given the current state of affairs, it was troubling to listen to his top economic policymakers failing to engage in self-criticism, as if the only mistakes had been caused by exogenous factors. And while force majeure had a hand in the recent currency crisis, it was clearly exacerbated by risky and ineffective policies and a certain arrogance that led to both a substantial loss of political capital and of actual foreign reserves without achieving the desired outcome. Now, more than ever, Macri et al. need to truly embrace the new cultural paradigms they speak so highly of, acknowledging errors—especially in the past six months, both on the economic and political fronts—and pushing forward with a plan that tackles the fiscal deficit and the lack of productivity of the Argentine economy. This requires the inclusion of actors across the political spectrum, who now have the incentive to derail Macri's project as they eye his place in the 2019 presidential election. All of this means that, from now on, Argentina will have to rid itself of the illusion of being a prosperous nation in the short and even medium-term. Calling on the IMF for help is indeed akin to relegation to second division, as has been said lately.
A few years ago, when Cambiemos won a surprise victory and Macri became the first President not to belong to either of the major political parties since the end of the last military dictatorship (1976-1983), economists raved about Argentina's prospects. Optimists both at home and abroad projected GDP growth of at least 3% to 3.5% per annum by Macri's second year along with falling inflation and a downpour of investments. That first year came with an expected contraction of 1.8%, as currency controls were lifted and the peso suffered a hard but much needed devaluation. 2017 was a tough year for most Argentines, but GDP grew at a 2.9% clip and inflation finally fell from around 40%—depending what index you look at— to 24.8%.
During those first two years in power, Macri found an unexpected ally in Sergio Massa, leader of the Peronist Frente Renovador (Renewal Front), pushing more than 100 bills through both chambers of Congress. An efficiency rate of 73.9%, according to La Nación's Laura Serra. With a marked minority in both chambers of Congress, Macri and his legislative strategy were hailed as genius.
The master statesman that had seduced the global elite, and Wall Street, saw his party crush Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's hopes for a comeback in midterm elections, only to call on opposition governors in what seemed like an act of grandeur, magnanimous at his strongest moment. And just as quickly, empathy and dialogue evaporated, and a more authoritative Macri began to concentrate decision-making power in fewer people. The political members of his so-called small group (mesa chica) like Ernesto Sanz— the UCR (Radical Civil Union) strategist that brokered a national coalition that gave Macri the presidency—and Emilio Monzó—former Peronist in charge of Cambiemos' bloc in the Chamber of Deputies—were thrust outside the circle of trust. Marcos Peña controlled that circle with an iron fist along with his deputies, Mario Quintana and Gustavo Lopetegui.
Alberto installs a double-hinged Cabinet
The house of cards began to fall apart toward the end of 2017, damaging Cambiemos' relationships with its circumstantial allies, and severely wounding the Central Bank's credibility. When the global macroeconomic situation turned against Argentina, Macri and his myriad economic ministers had no answers: inflation remained stuck around 25% and growth prospects dropped to a mere 0.5% to 1.5%. The peso continues to slide against the U.S. dollar while foreign indebtedness grew dramatically. And, of course, meagre economic growth hasn't spread beyond a few sectors that are skewed in favor of the wealthy, such as the financial and the agro-exporting sectors. Even worse, government expenditure has increased and our trade deficit hit record highs and trends upward.
Enter the IMF. Having lost access to international debt markets, Macri was forced to call on Fund Director Christine Lagarde. She responded with a US$50 billion Stand-By Arrangement that will most definitely force the government to accelerate austerity. As mentioned last week, slashing spending in an economy that is almost entirely reliant on consumption (which makes up 86.9% of GDP) has strong recessionary tendencies. Cambiemos, though managed to overcome market turbulence.
Macri has lost the capacity to work the legislative branch to carry on with much-needed reforms, particularly the labour reform that will allow the country to become less unproductive. "You cannot do this alone, reflect on your relationship with the political opposition," said Miguel Ángel Pichetto, Senator and head of the Peronist bloc. Pichetto was closing the debate that saw them pass a bill blocking public service cost hikes that would receive an immediate veto from the Executive. Pichetto, it is known, is in close communication with Massa.
The return of Alberto Nisman
The IMF has now forced the government to change its economic path. While it gave Federico Sturzenegger, President of the Central Bank, a stronger hand as it asked the Executive for greater independence, the Found also slapped his wrist. Sturzenegger had created a monster of short-term bonds called Lebac, which were used to sterilize or absorb pesos. Some US$73 billion of them are in circulation, more than the US$50 billion in foreign reserves. The IMF asked Sturzenegger to stop financing the Treasury and he pledged to buy back all Lebacs over the next three years. He also recalibrated his inflation targets, now aiming for 17% by the end of 2019, at the IMF's behest.
The government bought time with the IMF but sold its soul to the devil. Now it must live up to the difficult task it imposed on itself: shift the Argentine paradigm, cutting the deficit, generating trust in institutions and creating a holistic project that will narrow the political debate to the point where Congress is operative. For that, he'll need much more than just US$50 billion.

Precious has been raised with good values and, despite being poor by many standards, her Christian parents have raised her well. Never pretty as a child, this all changes as Precious nears puberty and she quite literally becomes a stunner. Beauty, we know, tends to attract attention and this can come in many forms. Sadly a day comes when she gives in to the charms of Emery Johnson, who literally sweeps her off her small-town feet and takes her away from home. Her new life is lavish. Living in New York is far different to her hometown, Mayhem, North Carolina; the downside is that she no longer sees her family, or her friends. Emery sees to that.
He becomes her worst nightmare with his manipulative jealousy, and she is devastated when his behaviour turns to violence. One day he vanishes, leaving her afraid for what might come next. Rejection and brutality can make even the most mild-mannered person into someone who can deal you a fate worse than death. Time passes and one-time nurse Precious returns to school. She outstrips all her peers and, amazingly, becomes a doctor. She becomes a prestigious doctor with revenge in her heart.
Precious Retribution by Steven Spellman is a definite page-turner. The story begins beautifully, following Precious' life in the small farming community. Her love of family and friends is obvious. The treatment meted out to her by Emery forges a spirit of hatred within her, and she vows to use her medical skills to avenge her aching heart. She has lost her parents, but will not lose her self-esteem. As the book proceeds, her goal becomes obvious and is definitely not for the faint-hearted. Her retaliation takes the form of sadistic, brutal torture, as she ensures that this man – who ruined her life – will never ruin the life of another woman. Strong, graphic content.


This morning I was getting the upstairs bathroom ready for a contractor to arrive and begin renovating it so that we can have a bath for the first time in two years. As I was doing this I was simultaneously trying to get the kids ready so that they can be to school on time. Teeth brushed. Books and papers in their backpacks. Lunch boxes filled with lunches and then placed in backpacks. Oh, and the basement toilet was apparently plugged. Better go check on that.
Yep, it's plugged. But I don't SEE anything plugging it! Oh well, I'll just get the plunger and get it going, right? Does nothing. No matter how many times I plunge and flush, the water level won't go all the way down.
It's getting on to time for the kids to brush and that contractor is going to arrive any moment. What's next? Oh, a quick look through the bathroom door into the laundry room and I see that the floor drain has been backing up with all my plunging efforts.
This is where I normally would lose patience and begin reallocating my energy toward feeling sorry for myself and the difficult life I lead, noting how I never seem to catch any breaks.
That is an amazing change in my though processes compared to a few months ago when I had yet to begin the nutritional cleansing program that I'm now finished.
And even though I've returned to my twelfth grade weight without working out, I've stopped drinking coffee and I've not consumed any bready carbohydrates (except for an exception or two like Canadian Thanksgiving dinner and my son's birthday cake) the thing I'm most excited about is this upsurge in ability to handle the stress of every day life. I feel positively vibrant! I'm confident, I'm not wasting time judging myself and others, and I'm doing more of what I want to do each day rather than thinking about what I'm not able to get accomplished.
This is because the products in this cleanse include natural herbal components known to support the systems of the body that help us deal with stress.
The nutritional system I've been recommending has been having a huge impact on those who have tried it. People I know are more energetic, more emotionally balanced, more rested from improved sleep, and yes, they are thinner if they have fat to lose. Those who are already fit are having better workouts and are bulding mass quicker.
This is the beauty of a system that is nutrition based. It's about returning the body to a state of normalcy. The thing is that we have been so far from normal functioning that to most of us returning to normal physical and emotional health feels INCREDIBLE! This is how I feel right now.
I'm telling you that this works. If you are wanting to make a change in our life then now is the time to do it. Make the decision for yourself. Either stand by and watch others like me step forward or stay where you are now, stuck feeling that you WISH things were different.
Contact me here if you are ready to fit your clothes better and enjoy life to the fullest again!

Big test for Spartans: Tom Allen turning hoops-mad Indiana into football force
Matt Charboneau
Three weeks into the season, most folks expected to see Ohio State unbeaten, sitting at the top of the standings in the Big Ten East.
No surprise there as the Buckeyes have been the class of the conference for the better part of the last decade.
However, there's another team at 3-0 that has many doing a double-take. It's not Penn State – Ohio State beat the Nittany Lions two weeks ago and James Franklin's team has yet to win a game. It's not Michigan – the Wolverines continue to be a non-factor in the race for the East title under Jim Harbaugh. And it's certainly not Michigan State – the Spartans are in a full rebuild under first-year coach Mel Tucker.
The other 3-0 team is Indiana, and few outside of Bloomington believed it would be in this position. One person that is hardly surprised is Hoosiers head coach Tom Allen.
"I believed that we had the opportunity to do what we're doing right now," Allen said in an interview this week with ESPN. "So I'm not surprised that we're 3-0. I think most people are, but I'm not. I expected us to be able to compete with those teams.
"I told our team it doesn't matter what I think or what I believe. What do you believe, and what are you willing to do to create that? So that's what's really changed here, is that the guys have bought in, and they're living those things out every single day."
More: Detroit News scouting report: Indiana at Michigan State
That buy-in from the players on the roster has created a scenario where No. 10 Indiana could head to No. 3 Ohio State next weekend with the division on the line. Of course, the Hoosiers will have to take care of business at noon Saturday when they travel to Spartan Stadium to take on Michigan State (1-2).
It's a series that Michigan State has dominated, winning 10 of the last 11. However, things have shifted fairly dramatically and Tucker understands what his team will be facing.
"It's a well-rounded football team," Tucker said of the Hoosiers. "I can see why they are 3-0 and I can see why they're ranked in the top 10. We certainly have a lot of respect for the way they're coached and the way they've built that program over the past three or four years.
"But like I've been saying, we've got a lot of work to do and we're up for a challenge."
That challenge hasn't always existed for teams when they've faced Indiana. Before Allen took over to begin the 2017 season, the Hoosiers were the picture of mediocrity. They appeared in two straight bowl games in 2015 and 2016 but won only six games in each season. Before that, it had been seven seasons since Indiana played in a bowl game.
The last time the Hoosiers were anywhere near the Big Ten title chase was 1993 when they finished two games behind Ohio State and Wisconsin, and they've only won the conference twice – in 1945 and 1967.
Subscription: Detroit News predictions: Indiana at Michigan State
Sounds about right for a basketball school, which Indiana has always been.
But after Kevin Wilson was let go late in the 2016 season, Allen, then the defensive coordinator, took over and things started to slowly turn around.
The Hoosiers went 5-7 in each of Allen's first two seasons at the helm, but they were starting to become a tougher team, no longer an automatic win for the conference heavyweights. And by 2019, as improved recruiting was starting to pay dividends, Indiana won eight games and ended its bowl drought by appearing in the Gator Bowl.
Now, as dynamic young quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has led Indiana to wins over Penn State, Rutgers and Michigan, the Hoosiers have put themselves in prime position to contend for a title. Winning the games they're supposed to win is a crucial step in the process, and Indiana hopes for no hiccups against Michigan State.
"We have been having a great season so far, but the season is not over," Penix said. "We still have games that we are looking forward to like Michigan State this weekend. This is a great program, so we have to come with a positive mindset and keep that 1-0 mindset that we have had. We have to make sure we prepare the same way we did before."
The Hoosiers understand the history they've had with the Spartans, so they're not about to look at Michigan State's record and believe things will be easy on Saturday.
A championship team takes every opponent seriously, and Indiana believes it's just that – a championship team.
Convincing anyone else? Well, maybe that will come in time.
"I believe we can win the Big Ten here," Allen told ESPN. "I thought that we had the support administratively when I got here, and that was a big reason I even came. ... That hasn't always been the case in Indiana ... football has always been kind of on the lower rungs behind some other things. I get it, basketball is a big deal in this state. I'm born and raised in Indiana, I understand it and I love basketball. I want us to win a national championship in basketball. But I think we can give you both."

Licence fee money still kept in the dark
By Matthew Lynas
Collection date looms but finances remain opaque
Licensees across Scotland remain in the dark over how licensing boards use funds from annual premises licence fees, due to be collected one month from today (October 1).
Eight years on from the introduction of the premises licence annual fee system, which was intended to see licensing boards fund their activities with a fee structure "broadly equivalent" to the costs incurred by that board, it remains unclear in many board areas if there is parity between the fees collected and the licensing budget.
A provision in the Air Weapons and Licensing Act 2015 introduced a duty on licensing boards to produce annual financial reports, but this provision has yet to come into force and no implementation date has been set.
However, last month, the clerk to Moray licensing board produced a report which revealed a budget surplus, and recommended a 20% cut in the annual premises licence fee.
Following the report, Moray licensing board took a unanimous decision to cut fees with the new structure coming into force from October 1.
A portion of the surplus found in the board's finances has been reserved to pay for a full-time licensing standards officer – a position previously lost as part of council cuts.
A Moray Council spokesman said: "As we were projecting a surplus of income over expenditure it was appropriate that we considered reducing fees to the benefit of the trade.
"We have always felt it important to be up-front and transparent about finances."
A number of councils contacted by SLTN said boards had not produced financial reports as the relevant provision is not yet in force.
SLTA chief executive Paul Waterson said the trade group is "very clear" that boards should have "a mandatory requirement to tell us what they've spent on licensing".
"At the moment the licence fee is put into council accounts and we don't know," he said.
"The fees were to be cost-neutral."
Licensing lawyer Janet Hood said she believes annual fees are "fairly reasonable" for most larger operators and warned that producing annual reports could increase costs for boards, leading to higher fees.
"Perhaps the question should be is [the current system] the best way to move forward with licensing if there will be continuing queries on finances?" said Hood.
She suggested a better approach may be to separate boards from local authorities altogether.
"If boards are separate legal entities they should be set up as such," said Hood.
A Scottish Government spokesman said the government is "working steadily" on the commencement and implementation of the Act and expects to commence further provisions when parliament returns from its Autumn recess.
The spokesman said the provision on board reports was introduced following a review of the fees regime in 2013 in which the government "was unable to obtain sufficient data in order to make revisions to the regime".
"These board reports will assist the Scottish Government in effectively reviewing the fees regime and considering whether (and what) revisions are necessary and appropriate," he said.
