Boron is an extremely important nutrient that helps marijuana plants use calcium. It helps with maturation, pollen germination, seed production, cell division, the formulation of proteins, keeping the leaves a healthy color, and plant structure formation. It also keeps your plant's stems, stalks, and branches at a healthy level of strength.
When there isn't enough boron or your plant has restricted access to it, it most likely will have a boron deficiency. It is rare that a boron deficiency will be the only problem that your marijuana plant has if you do notice it has this condition. It can come from an unbalanced pH level and might come with other nutrient problems.
Boron deficiency
Boron deficiencies are most common in western soils, although even in western soils they are quite rare. A lack of boron is not mobile, which means that it will only affect new growth.
Signs of a boron deficiency
You will start to notice your marijuana plants' uppermost leaves growing abnormally or more slowly than usual. The tips of growths won't grow quite right, i.e. they may appear twisted and start to die. New leaves may be wrinkled or curled.
When there's a boron deficiency, the roots of your plants will grow unhealthily or slowly. Stems, including leaf stems and the main stem, could start to hollow and roughen. Boron deficiencies are most likely to occur when your plant hasn't been receiving enough water, or when the humidity in the air is extremely low.
Since boron helps with your plants' use of calcium, the symptoms can appear similar to calcium deficiencies. New growths are the parts that you will notice the biggest changes. Oftentimes a boron deficiency also comes with a lack of potassium or nitrogen, since a plant requires these nutrients in order to utilize boron.

When the growing tips on your marijuana plant begin looking brown or gray and eventually die, it is safe to assume that a boron deficiency is the problem. After these growing tips die, lateral shoots will start to grow, but without enough boron this growth will soon lead to death. Before they die, these shoots will appear sunburnt and gnarled, and will be a vibrant green in color.
The leaves will start developing spots on it that are brown and dead, and the surrounding tissue will clearly be dying as well. These spots are how you distinguish a lack of boron from a calcium deficiency: the spots are smaller with the boron problem.
If a boron deficiency is left untreated, it will eventually bring root growth to a halt, and will make the secondary roots shorten and swell. Because the roots are more fragile in this state, there is an added risk of fungal or bacterial infections. Unless stopped, a lack of boron will cause all the leaves on your plant to fall off, and the plant itself will eventually die.

How to fix a boron deficiency
Most of the time a boron deficiency comes from the grower over-fertilizing their plants. Make sure to avoid this so that you don't end up with a boron deficiency in the first place. You could use something like Marijuana Booster from the beginning to avoid a boron problem.
If you do find yourself with boron-deficient plants, you have a few options for courses of treatment. You can treat your water solution with boric acid (wiki)- one teaspoon of boric acid per gallon of water. You can use Marijuana Booster for treatment as well, as borax, compost, or compost teas.
Boron deficiency sometimes comes from the pH level being too high or low. In soil, roots can absorb boron the best if the pH level is between 6.0 and 6.5. In a hydroponic system, absorption of boron happens best between 5.5 and 6.2. Flush the entire system with water of the proper pH as well as nutrients mixed in. You should see new growth starting to come in normally within a few days.
A boron deficiency also might be due to a lack of potassium and nitrogen, in which case you should water your plants regularly with these nutrients. If your grow room is quite dry, you can use a humidifier to help lessen the symptoms of boron deficiency.
List of marijuana plant symptoms
Leaf Color:
– Pale leaf color
– Purple or darkened leaf color
– Dark brown spots on leaves
Leaf Symptoms:
– Browning or burnt leaf edges
Plant Symptoms:
– Thicker growth tips
– Slowed growth
– Twisted or abnormal growth
Boron is found in most tap water, so unless you are using extremely filtered or reverse osmosis water, you should not encounter a boron problem. If you are watering your plants with tap water and it appears they have a boron deficiency, first check out conditions with similar symptoms to see if boron is really the issue.
Remember that plants with strong genetics have less chances of getting sick. Make sure you buy cannabis seeds from a trusted seedbank.

Online Marketing Management Suite
A new collection of tools for extracting the maximum from online information has been launched by CrownPeak, a Saas-based Web CMS provider. The Online Marketing Management Suite should help marketers to hit the right audience, tweak a message to be more effective and produce better sites, if used correctly.
Targeting Visitors
Aimed at the non-technical user, it allows for the creation of "segments" that target a particular type of user. Using data gathered form online forms, surveys or browsing activity, it provides a way to categorize site visitors and carve them up into targetable segments.
These collections of suitable visitors can be saved rather like an iTunes playlist and the right content or messages can be sent to a compatible playlist of site visitors.
New A/B Testing
Also in the suite is a testing system as part of the CMS. A/B testing helps to show which variable in a marketing campaign is proving a success while multivariate testing helps evaluate multiple variables.
These kinds of products used be discrete, and often expensive, but are now being found increasingly in a wider range of products.
Create snippets about users based on their site interaction
Learning Opportunities
All the tools are built into CrownPeak's existing Web CMS and other products, enabling users to get right on with the job of improving conversion rates and other goals.
Improving Website Marketing
Some two years in development, the suite makes use of Web and cloud technology to offer its power to any level of user interested or mandated in achieving more through web marketing. An example of how easy it is to get it wrong can be seen in this CrownPeak study example.
The Suite can be using in conjunction with the Web CMS to send the right message in response to a certain set of criteria. You can create a dozen different targeted "thank you" or other responses or similar based on a user's interactions, via a request form, or their use of demo button. Each layer of personalization will make a potential customer feel more welcome and confident.
Give the right response to have users warm to a site
With its heavy advertising/marketing focus, CrownPeak has pulled an interesting stroke with this update that, with its full complement of reports and analysis tools, can show a company how it can improve its online performance and show the results.

Olli Jokinen and New York Rangers Not on Speaking TermsJune 17, 2010
According to Pierre LeBrun of ESPN, the agent for center Olli Jokinen said that the Rangers have had no contact with his client and expect Jokinen to find work on the open market. He also said that he expects Jokinen to play in the NHL and that the KHL is not an option.
"They have not talked to us. I do not expect them to at this point," said Jokinen's agent, Mark Gandler, to ESPN.com. "I thought he played well in New York. I think he has a lot of value in the league. I think a lot of teams could use him. He has a few good years ahead of him. He's healthy, he's got skill and ability."
This is expected news. The Rangers traded for Jokinen partially for some offense, but also because he was on a one-year deal and the player he was traded for, Alex Kotalik, was on a two-year contract. Jokinen did not give the Rangers nearly the offensive boost they needed and by the end he just looked disinterested.
Rangers head coach John Tortorella also explained after the season that he wanted the team to get younger. Re-signing Jokinen at this point in his career would be the total opposite of that.
Jokinen is just 31, but he is clearly not the player who once scored 39 goals a season. He could, under the right circumstances with two talented linemates backing him up, produce offensively, but the Rangers do not have the types of players that he needs to thrive, and he isn't the leader they need to succeed.

Former Beta Pi Brother Sam Weinstein joined Pika for the camaraderie and support of studies and social life. For him, those values still play a key role in his life and he now plays a leading role in the distribution of healthcare.
"I have been in practice as a Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgeon for the past 20 years," he explains. "I transitioned to a non-clinical career as an Executive Vice-President and Chief Medical Officer for SpecialtyCare, Inc. Our company provides personnel and equipment to support operating rooms in over 1,000 hospitals and in over 350,000 procedures each year."
Weinstein added that serving as Pika President was one of his first leadership experiences and some of those early trials of working out problems were extremely educational, even a little painful.
"We were all united in some sense to be better as a group," he recalled. "In another sense, each brother maintained his individual strengths. I see the same relationships today, only the individuals have less hair now."
As for his favorite memory, "We used to take a retreat west of Philadelphia and camp out for two days," Weinstein recalled. "I always thought that was a lot of fun."

Triple Winner: Will Montoya go for the coveted Crown?
The Triple Crown is a special achievement in motorsport, accessible only to the most versatile and talented racers. As Juan Pablo Montoya gears up to take Le Mans 24, can he become the second man ever to win the Triple Crown?
Next June could be a big moment for the motor-racing world. Colombian driver Juan Pablo Montoya, currently competing in the Verizon IndyCar Series, is slated to take part in the Le Mans 24 Hours in France, a grueling challenge for drivers, engineers and spectators alike. If he wins, he will become only the second driver to win the so-called 'Triple Crown of motorsport', a coveted, albeit unofficial, championship that very few drivers get the chance to race for, let alone win.
What is motorsport's Triple Crown?
The Crown is made up of the world's pre-eminent races: Formula 1's Monaco Grand Prix, IndyCar's Indianapolis 500 (known worldwide as the Indy 500), and the World Endurance Championship's Le Mans 24 Hours. All the races are prestigious in their own right, and have been running for well over half a century. The Indy 500 first took place in 1911, Le Mans in 1923 and the Monaco Grand Prix in 1929. Despite this, only a handful of drivers have ever competed for it - the great A.J Foyt won Indy 500 four times and Le Mans once, but never won the Monaco Grand Prix, and McLaren founder Bruce McLaren won both the Monaco Grand Prix and Le Mans but never won the Indy 500. The single driver to win all three, and therefore claim the crown, is Graham Hill, a British driver from the 60s. He won the Monaco Grand Prix 5 times, the Indy 500 in 1966 and Le Mans in 1972. However, he was killed in a light aircraft crash in 1975, meaning at present there is no one alive who has achieved this amazing feat.
That may change in 2016, though. Montoya has raced in almost every major series in the US or Europe that you could care to mention, including F1, IndyCar, CART, Grand-Am and NASCAR. He has won races in all these series in his rookie year, so he has almost equaled possibly the greatest American racing driver, Mario Andretti. However, Andretti has an F1 World Championship to his name, while Juan Pablo does not. If he managed to win Le Mans, Montoya could lay claim to the most accomplished racing driver ever, certainly a hallowed title among drivers.
Montoya's journey through the world of motorsport
Montoya currently races for Team Penske in IndyCar. He almost won the 2015 championship, losing on wins after a tiebreak with Chip Ganassi driver Scott Dixon in the very last round at Sonoma. He did win that year's Indy 500 though, making it his second win, having also won the race in 1999.
After conquering Indianapolis, Montoya switched to F1 to drive for the Williams team. He was up against tough competition, with Michael Schumacher at the height of his powers driving for the all-conquering Ferrari team. Juan Pablo did manage to finish 3rd in 2002 and 2003, coming very close in the latter year, only 11 points behind Schumacher and nine behind runner-up Kimi Raikkonen, who was driving for McLaren.
It was also in 2003 when Montoya gained his only Monaco Grand Prix win, one of only two wins that year. In 2005, he switched to McLaren, having a moderate amount of success in his maiden year with the team, winning three races and finishing fourth in the championship, but behind his team-mate Kimi Raikkonen, who won seven races and only narrowly lost the championship to eventual winner, Spaniard Fernando Alonso.
Midway through the 2006 season, Montoya left F1 with immediate effect, to race in the NASCAR Sprint Cup for Chip Ganassi Racing. He only competed in that season's final race at Homestead, but he competed in the next seven full seasons, winning two races. In 2014, he switched back to IndyCar, immediately finishing fourth for Team Penske, recording one win midway into the season at Pocono. He also competed in two NASCAR races for the team at Indianapolis and Michigan, finishing 18th and 23rd respectively.
But the 40-year-old isn't as young as he once was, and seems to have decided that if he is to win the Triple Crown, he needs to get started. He was a guest of Porsche at the World Endurance Championship's 6 Hours of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, and is going to test for them in their Le Mans-winning 919 Hybrid at Bahrain later this year. While it hasn't been confirmed that Montoya will race for Porsche in 2016 at Le Mans, it seems likely. There is no clash of dates with the IndyCar schedule, and Porsche have a seat free due to Nico Hülkenberg, one of the three drivers in their winning line-up from this year, having commitments for the Formula 1 season.
Why Le Mans is Montoya's toughest challenge yet
Le Mans is a completely different beast to both Formula 1 and IndyCar racing. Twenty-four hours long, the race is run from 3pm on Saturday to 3pm on Sunday. It's run in all weathers - the race has never been red-flagged or stopped because of an accident or bad weather - and with a variety of cars competing. If Montoya decides to race at Le Mans, he will compete in the highest class, Le Mans Prototype 1, known as LMP1, racing for Porsche. His main rivals will most likely be the Audi and Toyota teams. Audi have 13 wins at Le Mans, second only to Porsche themselves on 17, while Toyota have yet to win. That's not for lack of trying though, and they will be hungry for a win in 2016.
In recent memory, the only other driver to try and win the Triple Crown is Jacques Villenueve, who competed for Peugeot in 2007 and 2008, with a best place of second. He won the CART championship in his second year of competition, also winning Indy 500 in the same season. In spite of his success in CART and his F1 world championship win, the vitally important race he hasn't won is the Monaco Grand Prix. This meant he used the 'alternative' definition of being an F1 world champion, CART champion and Indy 500 winner. Villenueve has stated he intends to keep racing at Le Mans until he wins it, but hasn't competed since 2008. At 44, four years older than Montoya, Villenueve must now be regretting not competing more in his younger days.
If Montoya does race at Le Mans in 2016, it will be a momentous occasion for the motorsport world. Even if he doesn't win, it will show that Montoya, often derided because he didn't live up to his potential in Formula 1, is one of the most versatile racing drivers around.

Report: Lakers awarded disabled player exception for Steve Nash
The Los Angeles Lakers have been awarded a disabled player exception for guard Steve Nash, reports ESPN's Brian Windhorst.
The exception is for $4.85 million and will allow the Lakers to acquire a replacement player.
Nash was ruled out for the entire season less than a week before it began due to recurring nerve damage in his back. Los Angeles already received a $1.5 million disabled player exception for rookie Julius Randle, who fractured his leg in the season opener.
• Kobe Bryant on Lakers: 'We're not a 3-11 team'
The Lakers have been dealing with a number of injuries this season. On Monday, the team announced guard Xavier Henry will miss the rest of the season with a torn Achilles tendon. Forward Ryan Kelly tore his hamstring last week and will miss six weeks, while guard Nick Young recently returned to action after missing 10 games with a thumb injury. Guard Wayne Ellington returned to the court on Friday after spending 10 days away from the team following the death of his father.
Los Angeles is 3-11 on the season and in fifth place in the Pacific Division.
The Lakers host the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday.

Home > Clinical Services > Plastic Surgery > Patient Stories > Vicki's Story
When Vicki discovered a lump in her right breast, she was alarmed and apprehensive. "My mother died of ovarian cancer at age 50," explains Vicki. "In addition, my older sister had breast cancer five years prior to when I discovered mine; and my 27-year-old daughter had it only a year before," explains Vicki. "I was due to have my yearly checkup, so I went in right away."
Her physician performed a mammogram, ultrasound, and biopsy all in the same day. "The diagnosis was breast cancer and because of my family history, a double mastectomy was scheduled," says Vicki.
Several friends and relatives recommended that Vicki visit with Dr. Babovic to talk about plastic surgery options before her breast removal. "Dr. B. explained the breast reconstruction process in a way I understood and felt comfortable," says Vicki. The Plastic Surgery staff takes measurements and pictures so they can best imitate a woman's natural breasts during the reconstruction process.
Breast expanders were placed by Dr. Babovic following Vicki's mastectomy, as part of the same surgery. "I wanted to start the reconstruction process right away, even though I was going through chemotherapy and radiation," remembers Vicki. "Every two weeks, fluid was added to expand the tissue and I did my exercise and stretches," she says. "It wasn't a piece of cake, but it gave me something to look forward to during this challenging time."
OMC's team showed Vicki pictures of what her breasts would look like after the reconstruction process. "It looked quite natural and I felt comfortable with the predicted outcome … and my husband agreed," says Vicki.
The entire process took about a year from start to finish – from expander placement to tattooing, the final touch. "They color the areola and form nipples so the result is really quite natural-looking," says Vicki.
"The nurses and all the staff were so compassionate and friendly," says Vicki. "After spending a year involved in this delicate and intimate process, I miss seeing everyone there – we became quite close."
Vicki knows that if she had to face the rest of her life with no breasts, each look in the mirror would be a bitter reminder of what cancer robbed. "These are not my God-given breasts, but they are the next best thing," says Vicki. "I would recommend this procedure to anyone who loses their breasts."
"There was very little downtime and I missed very little work," says Vicki, who has Fridays off from her job as a dental office receptionist. "The team always planned my procedures on Fridays for me, so I didn't miss work and had the weekend to recover."
Vicki's strong faith and the prayers of friends and family spurred her along on this incredible journey of healing and self-discovery. "The scars are fading, but the friendships, courage and spirituality I gained along the way remain with me," she says. "I truly thank the Plastic Surgery team at Olmsted for giving me back what cancer took from me – and doing it in such an endearing manner."

Winter-Spring Single Track Rides in Sedona, Sonoran Desert, Death Valley In Phase One Roll-out of Western US Destinations
Scottsdale, AZ – The company that put self-guided bicycle tours first on the French map and then across Europe is introducing meticulously planned, self-guided and custom guided bicycle vacations to the United States.
Pure Adventures is bringing its signature blend of top-of-the-line travel planning and execution in iconic destinations domestically for the first time this autumn. It is launching a first salvo of to-be 20-plus bicycle tours in the American West that will bring a new level of independent travel to this growing vacation sport.
Pure Adventures is focusing first on the Southwest for early winter through early spring adventures where warm temperatures are expected to entice cyclists from both the United States and abroad. Tours range from two to six days in such popular snowbird destinations as the mountainous Sonoran desert around Scottsdale, AZ, the red rocks of Sedona, and Death Valley, CA.
"Clients who travel with us to Europe ask, 'What about self-guided tours in the US?'" said Loren Siekman, founder/owner. Because of the focus on this country's National Parks, he anticipates that the international market will also be enthusiastic about his company's new stateside itineraries.
An example of one itinerary is the Guided/Self-Guided Sonoran Desert Mountain Biking Tour. This trip combines the joys of independent, self-paced cycling and catered wilderness camping. Guides take care of setting up the camp (including menus and ingredients for self-prepared meals), supporting rides and shuttling participants to trail heads all over the valley. Local experts will enhance the trip by taking care of the camp chores, providing entertaining natural history interpretation, plus riding tips for anyone interested in expanding their skills.
Guests transfer from Scottsdale to McDowell Sonoran Preserve where they are fitted with bikes. The first ride is a raucous descent down the gradual east slope of theMcDowellMountainsbefore rolling into a well-appointed, private base camp. Day two is the McDowellMountainRegionalPark that has single track created just for mountain bikers. Day three moves to another part of the desert, flowing through the whoopty-doos and carving the bermed turns. The Black Canyon Trail on day four follows a National Recreation Trail and traverses along the foothills of the 7,000-foot Bradshaw Mountains to treat riders to some of Arizona's finest cactus-studded views and a taste of the best new single track in the country. On day five guests head back to Scottsdale.
The per person rate of $1,065 is based on a minimum of four riders. Included are round-trip transportation from Scottsdale; all permit, camping and park entry fees; four nights lodging at a deluxe, safari-style base camp (double occupancy tents with comfortable sleeping pads); self-prepared meals (food provided) from lunch on arrival to departure day; snacks and bottled water; front suspension mountain bike – Giant Revel 1 or equivalent; gloves; helmet and pedals when requested.
And to help celebrate the launch of its new domestic programs, those booking a US trip before Dec. 1, 2013, will receive a free Pure Adventures cycling jersey.
Pure Adventures has formed a new exclusive partnership with AOA Adventures, also based in Scottsdale, AZ, which "puts instant infrastructure and experience in place to launch our tour offers in North America," Siekman said. AOA Adventures supplies custom outdoor services and logistical assistance to groups of all types from corporate to charities and other tour operations. The operation offers the Southwest's most diverse and extensive (over 400) bicycle rental fleet. Other equipment rentals include kayaks, camping and backpacking gear.
Siekman noted that all of the company's support personnel and guides (who conduct initial orientations) are certified and trained as Wilderness First Responders and some are EMT's, NOLS graduates, as well as pro level mountain bikers, triathletes and serious outdoor practitioners. The company uses quality vehicles and adheres to a deluxe, leave-no-trace camping format.
Pure Adventures' self-guided tours in 2014 span Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Scotland, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland and now the United States with the introduction of 20 programs in the West.

How Miramar College has come of age
July 18, 2018 |
Opened in 1969 as a police and firefighter training facility, San Diego Miramar College has been transformed into a comprehensive and thriving college.
Over nearly five decades, Miramar has grown to offer an extensive selection of more than 160 degrees and certificates, and it is home to cutting-edge programs such as the Southern California Biotechnology Center, which supports the local life sciences industry with an economic impact of nearly $32 billion annually.
Miramar is one of the fastest-growing colleges in the nation, and this year it reached a major milestone when the number of full-time equivalent students attending the school topped 10,000 – a plateau officially marking it a mid-size community college. The designation means that Miramar – which has a total enrollment of more than 16,000 students – and the San Diego Community College District will be in line to earn a larger slice of higher-education funding from Sacramento to further build its programming.
"Miramar is a comprehensive college that is playing an important and vital role in the community and in the local economy," said President Patricia Hsieh. "Students are choosing Miramar College because they know when they come here they will get a quality education with plenty of support services that will help them reach whatever educational or career goal they may have."
That's quite a change from a little more than a decade ago, when the staff was so small that school administrators had no reason to publish a phone directory. Courses were so few that they were held in portable classrooms. Today, first-class facilities and state-of-the-art technology abound.
Large-scale projects completed in recent years and funded through the Propositions
S and N bond programs are numerous:
- $39.5 million Student Center
- $39 million Library/Learning Resource Center
- $31.3 million Mathematics & Business Building
- $31.3 million Arts & Humanities Building
- $22.3 million Hourglass Park Field House
- $16.3 million Fire Technology & EMT Training Center
But Miramar is more than a collection of state-of-the-art facilities.
"Every time I visit Miramar, I'm reminded of how the college has evolved from when I was there both as a student and as the police academy commander at the San Diego Criminal Justice Training Center on the Miramar College campus," said Jerry Sanders, president and CEO of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce. "In a lot of ways, Miramar is San Diego: innovative, growing, technologically savvy, and open to anyone who is looking for a brighter future."
The Aviation Maintenance Technology Program is sending graduates to work on commercial and military aircraft. The Advanced Transportation and Energy Center is on the cutting edge of innovation. The School of Public Safety – which includes the Regional Law Enforcement Academy, the Fire Science/EMT Training Facility, a Regional Lifeguard Academy, a Detention/Courts Academy, and a Homeland Security Training Program – is responsible for training the lion's share of first-responders in the county.
Jeremy Mazur said the instruction he found at the Miramar campus was second to none. An honors student who transferred to San Diego State University last fall to study history, the former Marine learned about the college while transitioning to civilian life in 2015 after serving as an electrical technician on the F-18 Hornet at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar.
"What I found was essentially a brand-new campus. It was small enough to not be overwhelming, yet large enough to give me a solid college experience," Mazur said. "The classes were excellent, the professors are really good, and, as a matter of fact, a lot of them are also teaching at the UCs and CSUs."
Mazur also became involved on campus and was named to the Phi Theta Kappa All-California Academic Team. He attributes much of his success to the support he received. That support has grown even stronger with a new Academic Success Center that combines tutoring, counseling, the English Center, and more under one roof in the library.
"Our students get a lot of personal care," President Hsieh said. "We are growing in enrollment, we are growing our programs, but we still have the values of a smaller, more intimate college." Mazur agreed. "They welcomed me with open arms," he said.
President Hsieh said immediate goals for the college include exploring the potential of developing a bachelor's degree program, enhancing the college's connections with the community, and continuing to expand student access to maximize the use of Miramar's state-of-the-art facilities.
"Just growing for growth's sake does not suffice," Hsieh said. "You have to maintain the quality of instruction and you have to build on the support services to make sure students who are coming here will continue to be successful. We must continue to provide our students with the skills that they will need for the jobs that they want."

Presiding officer I J Singh, however, took on record the letter purportedly written by Agarwal to the court claiming that Rath was innocent.
"The court has examined the letter. All issues stated in the letter were brought out when he (Agarwal) was a court witness. No additional clarification is needed," Singh ruled.
He said the court had given full opportunity to the defence to put questions to Agarwal but they declined to avail the opportunity at that time.
Rath had petitioned the court seeking to recall Agarwal and examine him to clarify "certain missing links that may have a direct bearing on the case".
Rath`s petition came after Agarwal wrote a letter to the General Court Martial (GCM) blaming Lt Gen Ramesh Halgali for issuing No Objection Certificates for construction on a piece of land adjacent to the military station.
Rath, former 33 Corps Commander, contended that in his previous appearance as a court witness, "Agarwal was not allowed to give any statement nor he was given any chance to produce any document that he claims to have possessed. So he might have resorted to write this letter to the GCM."
However, the GCM had refused to take cognisance of the letter after receiving it last week.
Responding to Rath`s plea, the Army opposed it saying that there was no such precedence of accepting last minute petitions during GCMs, sources said.
Meanwhile, the judge advocate of the court is likely to commence his summing up this evening.

|In 1969, Kiowa Indian N. Scott Momaday was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his first novel, House Made of Dawn (1968).
The literary community had recognized the arrival of a major contemporary Native American writer and the beginning of
the Native American Literature Renaissance.
Momaday's writing is filled with stories about himself and his people, the Kiowa, especially in his works called The Way to
Rainy Mountain (1969), The Gourd Dancer (1976), The Names: A Memoir (1976), The Ancient Child (1989), and In the
Presence of the Sun: A Gathering of Shields (1992).
Grounded in aboriginal oral traditions, sacred landscapes, and ancient ritual the non-native reader could immerse
themselves into the world of the Native American. Momaday's writing speaks to the reader in ancestral voices,
simultaneously remote and immediate, and it is informed with the rhythms of magic formulas and the mysterious power of
images originating in prehistoric petroglyphs and ancient cave paintings.
Some critics, however, believe Momaday's work reflects the multiple cultural contexts and traditions of the tribe he grew
up in and the conflict between his childhood world and the American culture he would write and paint in.
Way to Rainy Mountain
In The Way to Rainy Mountain, arguably his most important work, Scott Momaday establishes the patterns of theme and
technique which have characterized his novels, poems, and memoirs. An expansion of the Kiowa folktakes retold from
The Journey of Tai-me is Momaday's attempt to develop a myth which incorporates individual lives as part of an overall
ancestral past.
Each of the three sections ("The Setting Out," "The Going On," and "The Closing In") progresses from the most inclusive
and remote to the most personal and recent: Momaday begins with Kiowa legends, followed by tribal history, then
personal memoir. Using different typefaces to indicate the transitions, Momaday retells Kiowa origin myths, retraces the
history of the tribe's three-century migration from Yellowstone to the Great Plains, and finally links these stories with
personal memories and stories passed down by his paternal ancestors.
Each layer of the narrative explains and so adds significance to those which precede it, as the psychic journey of
Momaday the teller reenacts the wanderings of the Kiowa. Literally traveling to his grandmother's grave, he realizes that
her lifespan encompassed the decline in tribal identity.
The Names
The Names: A Memoir continues the exploration of personal identity in the larger context of the family and the tribe.
Again Momaday combines Kiowa tradition with genealogical exploration and almost idyllic memories, as he describes his
boyhood among the Kiowas, who give names to every object in, and every characteristic of, their environment.
Momaday's name, Tsoaitalee, is the Kiowa name for a spot important in tribal legends—a massive rock known in Anglo-
American culture as the Devils Tower. Since the name was supposedly prophetic of an individual's character and fate,
Momaday had been given a great honor and a profound responsibility.
This memoir emphasizes the importance of names, through those names tracing Momaday's Anglo-American heritage as
well as the Kiowa. His mother's family included not only a Cherokee great-grandmother, but also a grandfather,
Theodore Scott, who was a sheriff in Kentucky. In identifying with his Indian ancestors, however, Momaday is following
the lead of his mother, who chose an Indian name, Indian dress, and an Indian school. Initially among the Kiowa,
Momaday's paternal grandfather had only one name, Mammeday, but with the adoption of Christian names, the name
John was added. Alfred, Scott's father, modified the family name to Momaday. The development of the family surname
seems symbolic of the family's ability to remain Native Americans but to incorporate the best elements of the Anglo
House Made of Dawn
The origin of House Made of Dawn can be traced to the early 1960s, when Momaday was working on his doctorate at
Stanford. Having initially conceived the work as a cycle of poems, Momaday had turned to prose and, in 1963, had
published a short story, "The Well," that anticipates the themes of culture clash, witchcraft, and identity conflict that he
develops in depth in the novel. While the story is set on the Jicarilla Apache reservation, where he had taught in 1958, as
the settings for House Made of Dawn Momaday chose Jemez, which is called Walatowa in the novel, and -- as the urban
counterpoint to the Pueblo world -- Los Angeles.
The protagonist of House Made of Dawn, is Abel, who was a composite of individuals Momaday knew in Jemez: young
men whose inability to cope with conflicting cultural patterns led them into alcoholism, violence, and death; and veterans
who failed to reintegrate themselves into their tribal community after fighting in World War II. Abel's troubles, however,
are not caused by his exposure to the world beyond the Indian village; his war experiences and the alien milieu of the
modern American city only deepen an identity crisis that already troubles Abel as a young man. Isolated within the tribe --
his father was an outsider who left the family -- and further set apart by the deaths of his mother and brother, Abel grows
up with his grandfather, Francisco, who tries, with little success, to teach him the old ways. Abel's killing of an eagle he
has captured shows his ignorance of the traditional hunting code. His distance from his people's ceremonial life results in
a generational conflict with Francisco: "You ought to do this and that, his grandfather said. But the old man had not
understood, would not understand, only wept, and Abel left him alone. It was time to go, and the old man was away in the
Abel's quest for identity leads him first into World War II and then back to his village, where he tries to attune himself to
the land and his people's traditions. Failing to resolve his inner conflict by ceremonial means, he seeks solace in a sexual
encounter with Angela St. John, who initially exploits Abel but will later become instrumental in his healing process; finally,
he kills a mysterious albino whom he identifies as a witch. In disposing of the "evil spirit" Abel, for the first time, acts in
accordance with tribal law, signaling his return to his tribe. But he is convicted of murder and sent to jail, a world in which
he is ill equipped to survive.
The remainder of the novel traces Abel's struggle to escape the conflicting cultural forces that threaten to tear him apart
after his release from eight years in prison and his relocation to Los Angeles. The disjointed structure of the work,
particularly in the chapter "The Priest of the Sun," owes much to Faulkner's narrative technique and reflects the
protagonist's confusion, gradual disintegration, and near death. Yet it also holds the seed of Abel's restoration to his
homeland and its ancient ceremonies. Abel's vision of the runners after evil, following his nearly fatal beating by an evil
policeman, "Culebra" Martinez, reveals to him the possibility of dealing with witchcraft ceremonially rather than through
This experience lays the foundation for Abel's renewed faith in his own culture. His friend Ben Benally's Navajo night
chant, from which the novel takes its title, helps to restore Abel's psychic balance by centering him in "the house made of
dawn" -- the Navajo universe -- and by pleading for the restoration of his mind, body, and voice. Ben and another
character, the Reverend John Big Bluff Tosamah, are foils for Abel.
Benally tries to live the American Dream and constantly talks about it, but his imagination is still centered in the Indian
world. Tosamah, an urban Indian, lacks any understanding of or sympathy for Abel. Tosamah is important in the novel for
articulating, in his sermon on the Gospel of John, the contrast between the written word and the oral tradition.
Abel's visit with Angela as he recovers in Los Angeles also helps his healing process. Their seemingly frivolous affair
turns out to have had a profound effect on Angela, engendering love for her previously unwanted child, which she now
regards not as her husband's but as Abel's, and leading her to an insight into Abel's tribal heritage. While much in the
novel suggests that the bridging of cultures is impossible -- the difficulty that the two Catholic priests have in
understanding their Pueblo flock is an example -- the conclusion of Abel's and Angela's relationship offers hope for
cultural synthesis.
Abel's final encounter with the dying Francisco further prepares him for his reintegration into his culture. Francisco's last
utterances -- fragmented lessons on the importance of the land, the solar calendar, and hunting ceremonies (Francisco's
account of his successful bear hunt contrasts directly with Abel's failure to act appropriately on his eagle hunt) -- prompt
Abel to prepare Francisco's body for burial in the traditional manner. Abel's subsequent joining of the race of the dawn
runners confirms the restoration of his body, and his singing of "House Made of Dawn" as he runs affirms that he has left
inarticulateness and alienation behind and is running toward a new day both for himself and his tribe.
Momaday also treats the issue of cultural identity in his best known work, House Made of Dawn, winner of the 1969
Pulitzer prize for fiction. In this novel, praised for its mythic themes but criticized for its difficult narrative structure, a Native
American veteran (interestingly, named Abel) cannot re-adapt to reservation life upon his return from World War II. After
killing a man and serving a prison sentence, he is paroled to a halfway house in Los Angeles.
Unlike his roommate Ben, a narrative voice who appears to be a Momaday spokesman, Abel remains outside the Anglo-
American culture; his attitude causes trouble on the job and with the police. Although the local groups he discovers do
not practice the Native American ceremonies in their pure form, the sermons of medicine man/priest John Tosamah lead
ultimately to Abel's return to the reservation and his dying grandfather. The novel's resolution is the ritual race at dawn,
in which Abel's true opponents are evil and death. Thus, coinciding with his grand-father's death is Abel's symbolic
rebirth into his culture.
Like his character Abel, Momaday finds strength and beauty in traditional Native American life, which he sees as an
antidote to the prevailing modern mood of individual isolation. A part of their belief in the principle of harmony in the
universe, the Kiowa's oral tradition links them to the land and establishes it as a spiritual entity, similar to themselves and
worthy of reverence. The retelling of history and legends also taps into the tribal memory, providing a sense of personal
and group identity.
The Gourd Dancer and Angle of Geese and Other Poems
Momaday's poems, which have received less attention than his prose, likewise recast traditional Kiowa legends in terms
of family history. In The Gourd Dancer and Angle of Geese and Other Poems, Momaday draws upon "blood memories,"
becoming in effect the successor to ancient medicine men as he interprets for his contemporary audience the Native
American consciousness.
In attempting to express his essentially intuitive perceptions about the Kiowa, however, Momaday is hampered by the
limitations imposed in using the language of an alien culture. Nevertheless, Momaday, who does not speak Kiowa
himself, understands how the language not only reflects but also influences the way a people think, and he believes that
in relating these tales, he is offering hope and spiritual healing to modern American society.
Ancient Child
This process of translating his ancient myths to benefit modern society is the subject of Momaday's second novel, The
Ancient Child, which is primarily autobiographical. Using the myth associated with his own Kiowa name, Momaday
portrays a Native American artist's efforts to maintain his culture and interpret it for the Anglo world. While the artist
generally is an outsider in his society, the Native American can draw upon his advantage of an alternate world view found
in tribal legends. Thus, like Momaday himself, the artist can use the traditional vehicles of dreams and visions to forge an
identity which is at once personal and universal.
Momaday's Biography
Navarro Scott Mammedaty was born in Lawton, Oklahoma, on 27 February 1934 to Alfred Morris Mammedaty, a full-
blood Kiowa, and Mayme Natachee Scott Mammedaty, who is of Scottish, French, and Cherokee descent. Later his
father changed the spelling of the family name to Momaday.
When Scott was six months old, Pohd-lohk, a Kiowa elder, named him Tsoai-talee (Rock Tree Boy), thus linking the child
to one of the ancient stories in Kiowa mythology: to account for the origin of Devils Tower, the strange landmark in what
is now northeastern Wyoming that they had come upon on their journey south from the Yellowstone area, the Kiowa
created a story about a boy who was transformed into a bear and chased his 7 sisters right up a tree; the tree became
Devils Tower and the sisters became the Big Dipper. To reinforce this mythic connection, his parents took him to Devils
The myth has become so much a part of Momaday's identity that his writings gravitate to it again and again; it provides
the unifying subtext for The Ancient Child.
When Momaday was two his parents left Kiowa country for a series of teaching positions: on the Navajo reservation at
Shiprock, New Mexico; at Tuba City and Chinle, Arizona; and, in 1946, at a two-teacher day school at Jemez Pueblo, New
Mexico. As a Kiowa among Navajo and Pueblo people who was also being guided by his parents toward success in the
larger society beyond Jemez, Momaday inhabited a complex world of intersecting cultures. The need to accommodate
himself to these circumstances prepared him for the perceptive treatment of encounters with various cultures that
characterizes his literary work.
Momaday's formal education took place at the Franciscan Mission School in Jemez; the Indian School in Santa Fe; high
schools in Bernalillo, New Mexico; and the Augustus Military Academy in Fort Defiance, Virginia. In 1952 he entered the
University of New Mexico at Albuquerque as a political science major with minors in English and speech. He spent 1956-
1957 in the law program at the University of Virginia, where he met William Faulkner; the encounter helped to shape
Momaday's early prose and is most clearly reflected in the evocation of Faulkner's story "The Bear" (1942) in Momaday's
poem of that title (collected in Angle of Geese and Other Poems, 1974). Returning to the University of New Mexico,
Momaday graduated in 1958 and took a teaching position on the Jicarilla Apache reservation at Dulce, New Mexico.
There he met and, on 5 September 1959, married Gaye Mangold. They have three daughters: Cael, Jill, and Brit.
Content with his new career, Momaday had no plans for further academic training; but in 1959, on the urging of a friend,
he applied for and received a Wallace Stegner Creative Writing Fellowship to Stanford University. There the poet and
critic Yvor Winters became his mentor, his friend, and the single most important influence on his early career.
Winters persuaded Momaday to pursue a doctorate in American literature and proposed and supervised his thesis, an
edition of the works of the nineteenth-century poet Frederick Goddard Tuckerman that was published by Oxford
University Press in 1965. In a letter to the editor published in the 23 February 1967 issue of The Reporter Winters
predicted Momaday's impending literary acclaim. And he critiqued the drafts of House Made of Dawn, which, to him,
provided further evidence of Momaday's immense talent. Winters's untimely death in 1968, a year before Momaday's
Pulitzer award, prevented him from seeing his pronouncements on his student's literary potential validated.
After receiving his Ph.D. in 1963 Momaday taught at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Next came his writing

The following is a TRUE story of something that happened over the
holidays that will really make you think & it could happen to any of us.
A young 17 yr. old boy was shopping in St. Cloud, MN. at a sports
store, called Sheels.
The cashier was a Muslim lady who was wearing her headscarf. The 17
yr. old was wearing a necklace with a cross on it. She told him he would
have to put his cross under his shirt because it offended her. He told
her he would not do that.
Then he told her that he thought she should take her headscarf off.
She then called for the manager. The manager came out & told the 17 yr.
old to just put his cross under his shirt and everything would be fine.
The boy again refused to do so & at that point he left the items at
the check out that he had intended to purchase & walked out of the store.
Several customers who had been in line behind him had heard the
conversation & also left their carts full of items & walked out of the
store !!
I SAY KUDOS TO THE 17 YR. OLD !!! We all know we are in some very
changing times, & given the same circumstances, I pray we would all have
the courage this young lad had.
Many Muslims are becoming very belligerent to Christians. Our Bible
class spent a some time talking about the challenge we are facing for our
first amendment right of religious freedom.(Makes one wonder what's next ?? Are they going to try to ban the

Fw: Suicide Bombers Go On Strike!
Subject: FW: Suicide Bombers Go On Strike!
from Jerry or Pat TraylorBBC News - Suicide Bombers Go On Strike!Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-week strike on Wednesday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda have so far failed to produce an agreement. The unrest began last Tuesday, when Al Qaeda announced that the number of virgins a suicide bomber would receive after his death, would be cut by 25% this February from 72 to 54. A spokesman said increases in recent years in the number of suicide bombings, has resulted in a shortage of virgins in the afterlife.
The suicide bombers' union, the British Organization of Occupational Martyrs (B.O.O.M.) responded with a statement saying the move was unacceptable to its members and called for a strike vote. General Secretary Abdullah Aloud Bang told the press, "Our members are literally working themselves to death in the cause of Jihad. We don't ask for much in return but to be treated like this is like a kick in the teeth".
Speaking from his shed in Tipton in the West Midlands, Al Qaeda chief executive Aisheet Mapants explained, "I sympathize with our workers concerns but Al Qaeda is simply not in a position to meet their demands. They are simply not accepting the realities of modern-day Jihad in a competitive marketplace. Thanks to Western depravity, there is now a chronic shortage of virgins in the afterlife. It's a straight choice between reducing expenditures or laying people off. I don't like cutting benefits but I'd hate to have to tell 3,000 of my staff that they won't be able to blow themselves up." Spokespersons for the union in the North East of England, Ireland, Wales and the entire Australian continent stated that the change would not hurt their membership because there are so few virgins in their areas anyway. According to some industry sources, the recent drop in the number of suicide bombings has been attributed to the emergence of Scottish singing star, Susan Boyle. Many Muslim Jihadists now know what a virgin looks like, and have reconsidered their benefit packages.

"Understanding Donald Trump"
Donald Trump is a genuine phenomenon. He may or may not become the Republican nominee for president. He may or may not win the presidency even if he becomes the nominee. Yet it is clear that he is a phenomenon and that any history of the 2016 presidential race will have to spend a good bit of time analyzing Trump and his impact.
From the time he announced on June 16, Trump has dominated social and mainstream media. He dominates the conversation despite the lack of paid advertising. Trump says outrageous things and his supporters shrug it off. At every turn, his poll numbers continue to rise.
As a step toward understanding this amazing performance, I spent part of the Christmas break reading his first bestseller, 'The Art of the Deal'. Written in 1987, this book is a classic among American business books and has influenced a generation of entrepreneurs. Trump wrote 'The Art of the Deal' when he was 41 years old and having a successful run. The book's popularity contributed to Time Magazine's decision to feature Donald Trump on its cover in January 1989.
The portrait that emerges from this easy-to-read and remarkably interesting book is of an aggressive, ambitious person who is constantly pushing, constantly learning, and always seeking the next challenge. Reporters and analysts who are trying to understand Trump would be well served by slowing down and reading this nearly three-decade-old bestseller.
They would discover that Donald Trump has developed a remarkable set of rules and principles that allow him to make decisions with incredible speed. Trump knows a lot, but what is amazing is how rapidly he figures out what he doesn't know.
My favorite story is of the Wollman Skating Rink in New York's Central Park.
The Wollman Rink was a heavily used public skating rink which had fallen into disrepair in 1980. New York City tried for six years to fix it, spent $13 million, and the rink still was not ready to open. In June of 1986 Trump, who could see the rink from his apartment, finally got tired of the embarrassment and offered to fix the rink at his own expense. At first the city turned him down because its bureaucracy did not want to be embarrassed by someone fixing something they couldn't fix. Trump kept pushing and finally out of embarrassment the city gave in.
The key part of the story is Trump's reaction to being put in charge. He promptly recognized that he didn't know anything about fixing a skating rink. He asked himself who built a lot of skating rinks. "Canadians!" he concluded. He found the best Canadian ice skating rink construction company. When the Canadians flew in to assess the situation, they were amazed at how bad the city had been at solving the problem. They assured Trump that this was an easy job. Trump fixed the six year embarrassment two months ahead of schedule and nearly $800,000 under-budget. (The city did end up paying for the work, and Trump donated the profits to charity.)
After reading this chapter you begin to think that maybe Donald Trump really could build a wall along our southern border for a lot less than our current government estimates.
'The Art of the Deal' is filled with stories like this — stories of common sense stories of calculated risk taking, and stories of innovation and marketing. Anyone who would like to better understand Donald Trump would be helped by reading this remarkable book.
Another is his pledges and I have no way of knowing if he will make good on all of them but I do agree with all of them. Trump is the only candidate that is serious about building The Wall"! Two other important pledges Trump has made that no other candidate of either party has matched! First, deportation of millions of illegals that are demanding and costing American taxpayers billions of dollars and second, closing 34 Muslim training camps throughout our country! I WOULD LIKE TRUMP OR ANY OTHER CANDIDATES PLEDGE TO REINSTATE ANY AND ALL MILITARY OFFICERS DISCHARGED BECAUSE THEY DISAGREED WITH OBAMA OR HIS POLICIES!!
Here is another that kind of wraps up my feelings about Trump.
Raccoon's in your basement! An interesting analogy.
You've been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement is infested with raccoon's. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean raccoon's have overtaken your basement. You want them gone immediately so you hire a guy. A pro. You don't care if the guy smells, you need those raccoon's gone pronto and he's the guy to do it! You don't care if the guy swears, you don't care if he's an alcoholic, you don't care how many times he's been married, you don't care if he voted for Obama, you don't care if he has plumber's crack...you simply want those raccoon's gone!
You want your problem fixed! He's the guy. He's the best. Period. That's why we need Trump. Yes, he's a bit of an ass. Yes, he's an egomaniac, but you don't care.
The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republican Party is two-faced & gutless, illegal's are everywhere. You want it all fixed! You don't care that Trump is crude, you don't care that he insults people, you don't care that he had been friendly with Hillary, you don't care that he has changed positions, you don't care that he's been married 3 times, you don't care that he fights with Megyn Kelly and Rosie O'Donnell, you don't care that he doesn't know the name of some Muslin terrorist,...this country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegal's, we are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo and Hamad is a special interest group with special rights to a point where we don't even recognize the country we were born and raised in.
"AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED" and Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want.
You're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, Republican Party, and sick of illegal's. You just want this thing fixed. Trump may not be a saint, but doesn't have any lobbyist money influencing him, he doesn't have political correctness restraining him, all you know is that he has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he's also not a politician, so he's not a cowardly politician. And he says he'll fix it. You don't care if the guy has bad hair. You just want those raccoon's gone. Out of your house!
This one is more about why we don't want Hillary.
I think this sums it up well!

Trump: "THAT'S IT! I almost forgot about that one".
Everything above is true. Yet she still gets the Democratic votes. Could there be that many stupid people in this country?
Does anyone understand this? If not, I think we're doomed!

Fwd: America's First Sharia Judge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Subject: New Judge
America's First Sharia Judge!
The first Muslim woman judge - Carolyn Walker - was sworn in as judge of the 7th Municipal District, Brooklyn, choosing to swear her oath of office holding the HOLY QURAN at the Brooklyn Boro Hall on December 10, 2015. It was a historic day! Oddly enough, there was almost no media coverage of this event .
Since the Quran forbids all law but Sharia Law , isn't it reasonable to assume that Her Honor will head the first federally sanctioned SHARIA COURT.Makes one proud, doesn't it?Another little chink in the armor? A small, quiet erosion here and there. No one cares, until it's too late. Step by step by step....this is how American culture will end.Rejoice Obama supporters! Your dream of changing America forever is coming true.

FW: A little more history
Subject: A little more history
Subject: A little more history about HillaryAmazing to me how much I had forgotten!
When Bill Clinton was president, he allowed Hillary to assume authority over a health care reform. Even after threats and intimidation, she couldn't even get a vote in a democratic controlled congress.This fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $13 million in cost for studies, promotion, and other efforts.Then President Clinton gave Hillary authority over selecting a female attorney general. Her first two selections were Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood - both were forced to withdraw their names from consideration.Next she chose Janet Reno - husband Bill described her selection as "my worst mistake."Some may not remember that Renomade the decision to gas David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco, Texas resulting indozens of deaths of women and children.Husband Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the
head of the Civil Rights Commission. Lani Guanier was her selection. When a little probing led to the discovery of Ms. Guanier's radical views, her name had to be withdrawn from consideration.Apparently a slow learner, husband Bill allowed Hillary to make some more recommendations. She chose former law partners Web Hubbel for the Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White House staff, and William Kennedy for the Treasury Department.Her selections went well: Hubbel went to prison, Foster (presumably) committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.Many younger votes will have no knowledge of "Travelgate." Hillary wanted to award unfettered travel contracts to Clintonfriend Harry Thompson - and the White House Travel Office refused to comply. She managed to have them reported to the FBI and fired. This ruined their reputations, cost them their jobs, and caused a thirty-six month investigation. Only one employee, Billy Dale was charged with a crime, and that of the enormous crime of mixing personal and White House funds. A jury acquitted him of any crime in less than two hours.Still not convinced of her ineptness, Hillary was allowed to recommend a close Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for the position of Director of White House security.When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of about 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, suddenly Hillary and the president denied even knowing Livingstone, and of course, denied knowledge of drug use in the White House.Following this debacle, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office after more than thirty years of service to seven presidents.Next, when women started coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment and rape by Bill Clinton, Hillary was put in charge of the "bimbo eruption" and scandal defense. Some of her more notable decisions in the debacle were:She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. After the Starr investigation they settled with Ms. Jones.She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor.After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr's investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.Hillary's devious game plan resulted in Bill losing his license to practice law for 'lying under oath' to a grand jury and then his subsequent impeachment by the House of Representatives.Hillary avoided indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice during the Starr investigation by repeating, "I do not recall," "I have no recollection," and "I don't know" a total of 56 times while under oath.After leaving the White House, Hillary was forced to return an estimated $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork that she had stolen.What a swell party - ready for another four or eight years of this type of low-life mess?Now we are exposed to the destruction of possibly incriminating emails while Hillary was Secretary of State and the "pay to play" schemes of the Clinton Foundation - we have no idea what shoe will fall next.But to her loyal fans - "what difference does it make?"Electing Hillary Clinton president would be like granting Satan absolution and giving him the keys to heavenENJOY YOUR FREEDOM TODAY BECAUSE YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE IT TOMORROW

In no small way this agreement is transformational for the domain name industry.
-Akram Atallah
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) June 28, 2013
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Board of Directors today approved a new Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) that is expected to bring continued improvements to the domain name ecosystem.
The agreement follows more than a year of negotiations between ICANN and its Registrar Stakeholders Group and represents marked improvements over the last RAA approved in 2009.
"In no small way is this agreement transformational for the domain name industry," said Akram Atallah, President of ICANN's Generic Domains Division. "Our multiple stakeholders weighed in, from law enforcement, to business, to consumers and what we have ended up with is something that affords better protections and positively redefines the domain name industry."
Among the achievements in the RAA:
•Establishment of a registrar point-of-contact for reporting abuse.
•Verification and validation of WHOIS (domain registrant) data.
•Clear establishment of registrar responsibility for reseller compliance.
•Enhanced compliance tools that include broader suspension and termination tools, clarification of audit rights, access to information to facilitate ongoing investigations and annual certification requirements.
"On behalf of the Registrar Stakeholder Group and all ICANN accredited registrars, I am pleased the ICANN Board approved the 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement, after all of the hard work put in by all parties," said Matt Serlin, VP, Domain Management, MarkMonitor, Inc. "We will now work on implementation of the numerous new requirements in the 2013 RAA and we hope to continue the interaction with ICANN staff and the broader community in the future, as registrars roll out these changes."

From the perspective of an in-the-trenches entrepreneur, Local First Milwaukee is one of the few organizations that truly represents a small Milwaukee business looking to be profitable and community oriented.
Starting a business can be overwhelming to say the least. A few weeks ago, I learned the Small Business Administration defines as a "small business" any company generating up to $25 million in annual revenue. Needless to say, the interests of my own small wedding and event floral design firm, Floral Alchemy, don't exactly match those of some $20+ million conglomerate. The weight of those bigger "small" businesses tends to overshadow the needs of us tinier small businesses. It seems clear that, while the SBA is helpful in certain areas, it can't truly advocate for the type of business I am interested in growing.
Additionally, I was asked by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce if they could interview me for a series focusing on states affected by a potential policy shift away from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The interview request seemed odd since Floral Alchemy sources about 90% of its product from American grown farms. Still, we are an American business that relies on other countries for natural product in certain situations (especially as weather patterns and growing seasons becomes increasingly unpredictable). Through the interview, I'd hoped to represent the smaller businesses who prioritize local consumption, yet also recognize their unique position within the global marketplace to affect change — but it turned out the Chamber couldn't really represent my company's ideals either.
Eventually it hit me. I already have an organization representing the community-centered ideals of Floral Alchemy: Local First Milwaukee. In a world that seems to continually reward companies seeking world domination, it's refreshing to find a group of local businesses and business leaders who see the importance of keeping things local and investing in our communities as their priority.
My favorite aspects of Local First Milwaukee are…
- Their commitment to local businesses by operating in, around and through the very businesses they promote
- Community education about the benefits of spending local
- Promotion of like-minded businesses to a group of locally minded consumers
- Their advocacy for interests that benefit the small business community of Milwaukee
- The events they hold to introduce the community to its local businesses
- Their commitment to keeping members informed of important developments at the local, state and national level
- Their networking events at various local establishments that allow hard-working, thoughtful and committed Milwaukeeans to seek out and share knowledge, support and a sense of community
- Their ability to gather and support a group of people who see the unique value and potential in Milwaukee as a more sustainable community for all its citizens
I've experienced more benefits than I can name from my participation in Local First Milwaukee, both for my business and for me personally. I feel a little like Goldilocks after my experience with other organizations, and it's nice to finally find one that's just the right fit with the resources and support I need to be successful. I appreciate everything Local First Milwaukee does and represents, and I encourage everyone I meet to check them out and see what they have to offer.

We all see things everyday that aren't right, but how often do we intervene? We want everyone to be empowered to STAND UP when something isn't right. Let's raise our standards by lowering our tolerance for every day offenses that create an unsafe. environment.
Together, we can raise the bar in our community.
What does it mean to be a good bystander?
A good bystander does not sit by and allow aggressive behavior to continue unaddressed. The goal of being a good bystander is to help the person being targeted, harassed, hurt, or victimized. Our goal is NOT to punish the person being aggressive.
Decide who you want to be.
We make choices everyday about who we want to be. The next time you are in a situation where you witness an unsafe situation, you can make the choice to step in, and potentially alter the course of someone's night.
What can I do to be a good bystander?
Connect: Let the person being targeted know that you support them. Talk with them and get them in touch with other supportive people.
Distract: Change the subject, ask where the bathroom is, or break the line of site between the target and the aggressor. Find a non-confrontational way to take the focus off of the target.
Be Direct: If you feel safe enough, say "What's going on right now is not okay with me", or find a way to directly tell the person being targeted that you support them.
Delegate: Find a bouncer, bartender, friend, or someone else who can help. Delegate the responsibility of intervening to someone who might have more power.
Get Help: Connect the person to resources, or a confidential advocate who can help. If you are afraid to speak up in the moment, talk to them after the fact.

Man dies in shootout with police at Route 30-area motel
The man, a suspect in a retail theft, fired a gun at the Motel 6 in Manchester Township and an officer returned fire, killing the man.
A man is dead following a shootout with police at the Motel 6 in Manchester Township on Saturday night, according to a news release from Pennsylvania State Police.
The man, referred to only as a "known subject," pulled a gun and fired it just after 8:30 p.m. at the motel, located at 125 Arsenal Road, the release states.
State police, along with the York County District Attorney's Office, are now investigating the officer-involved shooting, according to the release.
At 8:36 p.m., two officers, one from West Manchester Township Police, the other from Northern York County Regional Police, responded to the motel after discovering that a man wanted in an alleged retail theft from earlier that day was staying there, the release states.
"The two officers made contact with the subject in a hallway inside the motel," the release states. "During their interaction, the subject retrieved a firearm from his person and discharged it. An officer from West Manchester Township Police Department returned fire, striking the subject."
The officers immediately provided first aid to the injured man and called emergency personnel to the motel.
No officers or other civilians were injured in the shooting, the release states.
The man was taken to York Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9:24 p.m., according to York County Coroner Pam Gay.
Gay said the man's name will be released after his family has been notified and that an autopsy on his body is scheduled for Tuesday morning at Lehigh Valley Hospital.
Pennsylvania State Police continue to investigate.

Unity and Diversity in the Gospels and Paul : Essays in Honor of Frank J. Matera
Source ISSN
The influence of the book of Isaiah on Luke and Acts has been widely discussed and generally admitted.' It has also become a consensus that Luke used the Septuagint (LXX) Isaiah rather than pre-Masoretic Hebrew texts. The Greek translations of Luke's time had already applied and modified the theology of Hebrew Isaiah in usually small but sometimes significant ways.' It is also important to realize that the Lukan author was not aware that the especially influential section, "Second Isaiah;' was a separate writing by a later author. Rather, Luke read the canonical Isaiah as a unified biblical book.

President-elect Donald Trump said the United States did not necessarily have to stick to its long-standing position that Taiwan is part of "one China," questioning nearly four decades of policy in a move likely to antagonize Beijing.
Trump's comments on Fox News Sunday came after he prompted a diplomatic protest from China over his decision to accept a telephone call on December 2 from Taiwan's president.
"I fully understand the 'one China' policy, but I don't know why we have to be bound by a 'one China' policy unless we make a deal with China having to do with other things, including trade," Trump told Fox.
Chinese officials had no immediate reaction to Trump's remarks but they prompted an online response from the nationalistic Global Times which warned that the 'one China' policy is "non-negotiable" and dropping it could lead to Beijing supporting US enemies.
"The one-China policy cannot be traded," the commentary said, calling Trump "as ignorant of diplomacy as a child". It said if the US openly supports Taiwan's independence and ramps up arms sales to the democratically self-ruled island, China could aid "forces hostile to the US."
Beijing considers Taiwan a renegade province and the subject is a sensitive one for China.
After Trump's phone conversation with Taiwan's president, the Obama administration said senior White House aides had spoken with Chinese officials to insist that Washington's "one China" policy remained intact. The administration also warned that progress made in the US relationship with China could be undermined by a "flaring up" of the Taiwan issue.
Following Trump's latest comments, a White House aide said the Obama administration had no reaction beyond its previously stated policy positions.
In the Fox interview, Trump criticized China over its currency policies, its activities in the South China Sea and its stance toward North Korea. He said it was not up to Beijing to decide whether he should take a call from Taiwan's leader.
"I don't want China dictating to me and this was a call put in to me," Trump said. "It was a very nice call. Short. And why should some other nation be able to say I can't take a call?"
"I think it actually would've been very disrespectful, to be honest with you, not taking it," Trump added.
