Osama bin Laden is alive and well and planning new attacks, his al-Qaeda network has claimed in a statement published in London.
The London-based Arab daily al-Hayat reported it had received a statement from the al-Qaeda, dated March 26th, claiming 18 US troops had been killed after being taken prisoner by forces of the ousted Taliban regime during immense fighting in the eastern part of Afghanistan.
"Osama bin Laden is safe and in good health and preparing the next steps of his battle," the statement said.
Meanwhile, US President George W. Bush admitted during a television interview last week that he had "no idea" if Osama bin Laden, the world's most wanted terror suspect, was dead or alive.
"But I'll tell you this," he told British television, "he's not making a lot of noise these days, and maybe he's dug in one of those holes, but there is not a hole deep enough."
"We're going to get him if he's still alive." (Albawaba.com)

This application is related to the following co-pending application which is hereby incorporated by reference:
GUI GUIDE FOR DATA MINING. Ser. No. 08/955,402 filed Oct. 21, 1997.
1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates generally to the field of embedded help functions within computer applications. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system and method using hyperlinked help functions within non-Internet and non-help programs.
2. Discussion of Prior Art
Throughout the prior art various methods have been developed attempting to provide a help function within a computerized program to assist the user in understanding the functions of the program. A standard menu located within Windows®-based application interfaces is Help. The user, upon facing uncertainty about a function within the Windows®-based program, selects the Help menu. Within this Help window, alphabetic or contextual help screens may be selected. Selected help sections produce informational details regarding the selected topic.
Upgrades to the above help system have been made to include help functions such as bubble, contextual or intelligent word association text strings. Bubble help displays help sequences directly on the screen as various preselected sections are traversed. Contextual help displays help for a known function within the framework the user is working, at the time help is requested. The contextual help opens a separate GUI system opened to the appropriate location to provide help relative to the control that had focus when help was requested. Intelligent word association uses free-form textual input by the user to derive the closest estimate of the problem to be solved or the specific help actually being requested.
Each of the above help systems provides the user with a limited amount of information. The prior art help systems, however, fail to provide the user with a help function which is part of the primary user interface for the application program itself, which is non-intrusive, provides an immediate help function and where the user knows, in advance of selection, that the information provided will specifically correlate with the help information needed. In addition, while bubble-type help does provide instant help functions and is typically very brief (<=3 words), it fails to enable the user to selectively disregard using such help, i.e. the help bubbles are either on or off, but not selectively activated. Bubble help typically automatically appears over other displayed information or within a status bar. Such continuous help functions may be regarded as distractive by the user. What is needed is a help function which is immediate, requires no alphanumeric typing or searching input, and is selectively disregarded by the user.
Whatever the precise merits, features and advantages of the above cited references, none of them achieves or fulfills the purposes of the present invention. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide for a primary interface built-in help function.
It is another object of the present invention to provide for a hypertext-linked help function.
It is another object of the present invention to provide for a non-intrusive help function.
It is further an object of the present invention to provide for a help function not requiring additional keyed input by the user.
These and other objects are achieved by the detailed description that follows.
The present invention improves on the prior art and eliminates many problems associated with the prior art including, but not limited to, those previously discussed above.
The use of hyperlinks within an application program interface enables selective, non-intrusive, recall of help functions such as definitions of critical terms located within a textual or graphical interface panel. Elements of a user interface for an application program are predefined as help functions by the programmer or developer. These predefined help functions are then hyperlinked to the specified predefined element. When a user traverses the interface, highlighted elements corresponding to the predefined help functions may be selected by a mouse or mouse-type function. Upon selection of a highlighted hyperlinked element, a help window appears providing definitions, functional instructions, etc.
FIGS. 1a and 1 b, in combination, illustrate a generalized application interface showing the hyperlinked help function of the present invention.
FIG. 2 illustrates the application interface of FIGS. 1a and 1 b with highlighted elements selected and pop-up help windows displayed.
FIG. 3 illustrates an Intelligent Data Mining interface of the preferred embodiment.
FIG. 4 illustrates an additional level of embedded help with the Intelligent Data Mining interface of FIG. 3.
FIG. 1a illustrates a generalized application interface 10. Within the interface displayed to the user on the CRT are various elements of interest 30-32, which are highlighted to enable the user to visually note areas containing additional information which might be helpful to the user to create a better understanding of a definition of the term highlighted or function thereof. Each element has a hyperlink address 40-42 linking the specified highlighted element to a definition or other related information 71-73 in an associated entry within table 11 (FIG. 1b).
A user selects particular elements of interest by selecting the element using a click of a mouse or equivalent user input function. The selection of an element retrieves the definition/function 71-73 located in table 11. FIG. 2 illustrates the return of a pop-up representation of the definition/function found in table 11.
What separates the present invention from the prior art is the ability to selectively retrieve immediate help functionality without having to stray from the interface of the application program itself. For instance, in Windows® help features, the user must focus his attention to the help menu, open the help function, provide some keyboard or other type of user input to search help categories. Once the useful information is retrieved (if available), the user must then return to the section previous to the help request. For bubble-type help functions, the user is continuously presented with help functions without selective enablement, therefore possibly creating a constant distraction. In addition, the user, in the above prior art help systems, does not know in advance if any help function will be available for a particular question at hand. Much time can be wasted scanning and searching help directories for related help, often times without success. The present invention enables the user to identify, in advance, by noting highlighted elements, whether help information is available.
While this invention is illustrated and described in a preferred embodiment, the device may be produced in many different configurations, forms and materials. There is depicted in the drawings, and will herein be described in detail, a preferred embodiment of the invention, with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as a exemplification of the principles of the invention and the associated functional specifications of the materials for its construction and is not intended to limit the invention to the embodiment illustrated. Those skilled in the art will envision many other possible variations within the scope of the present invention.
FIG. 3 illustrates a specific implementation of the present invention using the application interface as fully described in co-pending application entitled, "GUI GUIDE FOR DATA MINING."
FIG. 3 illustrates a DATA SMART GUIDE welcome interface screen. Of specific interest is the plurality of highlighted (underlined for emphasis) terms 81-83: source type; parameters and output. Line 84 informs the user "To display a term definition, click on a highlighted term". Upon selection of a highlighted term, a pop-up window (not shown) providing the definition will be displayed as retrieved from the hyperlinked data contained within table 11.
FIG. 4 illustrates a secondary implementation of the present invention using the application interface as fully described in co-pending application entitled, "GUI GUIDE FOR DATA MINING". In this embodiment, not only is pop-up hyperlinked help available for selected terms located within window 95, but also for selectable data structures 91-93 located within window 90. As a user traverses data choices 91-93, a description of their functions appears within dialog box 94.
The above help system and its individually described functional elements are implemented in various computing environments. For example, the present invention may be implemented on a conventional IBM PC or equivalent, multi-nodal system (e.g. LAN) or networking system. All programming, mining algorithms, GUIs, display panels and dialog box templates, metadata and data related thereto are stored in computer memory, static or dynamic, and may be retrieved by the user of the Intelligent Mining system in any of: conventional computer storage, display (i.e. CRT) and/or hardcopy (i.e. printed) formats. The programming of the present invention may be implemented by one of skill in the art of object-oriented programming.
A system and method has been shown in the above embodiments for the effective implementation of a pop-up definitions with hyperlinked terms within a non-Internet program. While various preferred embodiments have been shown and described, it will be understood that there is no intent to limit the invention by such disclosure, but rather, it is intended to cover all modifications and alternate constructions falling within the spirit and scope of the invention, as defined in the appended claims. For example, the present invention should not be limited by software/program, computing environment, specific computing hardware and specific hyperlinked addressing schemes.

It seems as if the Louisiana coast always gets the worst end of the deal. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit; it's remembered today as one of the worst and most costly hurricanes in the history of the United States. Now, only five years later, the Louisiana coastline and its fragile wetlands are suffering the effects of the oil spill from a well run by BP in the Gulf of Mexico. With the oil spill going on for nearly two months now, it appears as if it may give Hurricane Katrina a run for her money as the costliest disaster in our history.
The spill is not only economically costly (the total price tag, including environmental clean-up, may cost BP around $14 billion), but it also is taking a huge toll on wildlife and the ecology along the Gulf Coast and on the gulf itself.
BP executives have stated that their company will pay all legitimate claims for losses and damages caused by the oil spill. However, there is a law that caps the maximum liability of an oil company at $75 million, which is not even enough money to drill a relief well to stop the flow of oil. This is why some Democrats in Congress support a bill that raises this cap from $75 million to $10 billion. However, some senators are against this bill; they argue that it would make it financially impossible for smaller oil companies to drill offshore.
In other words, those against this bill want the taxpayers to pay for BP's mess in the gulf, in order to allow more oil companies — with possibly less experience than BP — to continue drilling offshore, increasing the chance that we will have more oil spills in the future.
Offshore drilling is not something we should promote. Although many see it as an opportunity for energy independence, it is actually a distraction from renewable energy sources.
An analogy would be encouraging a smoker to buy his own cigarettes, rather than constantly freeloading from his friends, but ignoring the real problem, which is that he is going to get lung cancer in the near future. The problem is that oil, no matter who produces it, is not a sustainable energy source. It will eventually run out, but more urgently, it will accelerate global warming.
In response to the oil spill, the White House has extended a moratorium on offshore drilling for another six months. However, more should be done to safeguard the fragile ecosystems of areas near offshore oil rigs. A branch of the Interior Department of the U.S. allowed BP and other oil companies to drill, ignoring scientific papers that suggested high probabilities of an oil spill and the dangers to endangered species of the Gulf. The federal government should enforce, rather than circumvent, its own restrictions on offshore drilling.
This all comes back to the United States' addiction to oil. If it were not such a profitable sector, would companies such as BP invest in risky ventures like offshore drilling? I doubt it. We could stop offshore drilling by switching to renewable energy sources.
Unfortunately, unlike the smoker in our analogy, there is no "patch" that can help us if we don't have the determination to quit our country's addiction. We have to do it on our own.

Mexican-American Man Is Voting For Trump- Has THIS To Say To The Haters…
Trump has recieved innumerable criticism for his comments on women, Muslims and Hispanics.
Trump has recieved innumerable criticism for his comments on women, Muslims and Hispanics. In politics people automatically assume if you're Hispanic you're in favor of politicians that propose lenient amnesty. If your African American then you'll automatically vote for a black man or a a candidate that wants to expand entitlement programs. The one thing Democrats hate most is when minorities don't vote according to the way they mandate. Which is why they'll probably be angry when they see this Latino who is supporting Donald Trump.
Keith Avila has determined race will not be a factor in who he chooses to vote for on Election Day. The California natives vote is going to Donald Trump. He commented on the matter,
"My whole family is from Mexico, my wife's from Mexico, all her family's from Mexico. I'm deeply rooted within the Mexican cultural and it's never been a problem for me to say that I'm Mexican-American, I've never had a problem with it until I decided to vote for Donald Trump."
He went on,
"People are telling me that I'm fake, that I'm not actually Latino, that I'm just all kinds of stuff about race … there's just this sort of idea, this fixed idea, where if you're Mexican-American you're not supposed to vote for Donald Trump. Well let me tell you one thing, that is wrong. Not all people think the same, some people think differently."
When he continued to receive flack for his Election Day choice he decided to come up with an answer as to why he supports Trump as a Mexican-American. Some may be offended by his answer. But it's pretty patriotic. He said,
"I thought of an idea … people are not going to like me for this … I'm not going to blanket a whole group of people … but I do live in California so I know there are a lot of Democrats in this state … I know what I'm about to say right now is going to offend a lot of Bernie supporters."
Avila concluded with a resounding statement,
"I'm Mexican-American, I'm Latino, and this is what I'm doing. My allegiance is to the United States of America, and I understand I'm Mexican-American, but I'm American first. My family's from Mexico… we love Mexico, we love the Mexican culture, and pledging the allegiance to the United States of America, that doesn't mean that you do not like your heritage."
Who can argue with that?! America is a nation built on legal immigration. Their is nothing more patriotic then presidential support by a hard working American willing to do his fair share.

Trump Just Exposed Obama's SICKENING Connection To Border Agents Gruesome Murder
Trump is pissed!
Federal officials said on Monday the Border Patrol agent killed Sunday in west Texas was ambushed by Illegal Aliens who beat him in the head with large rocks.
Officials have yet to provide official details about this gruesome incident, but the union representing Border Patrol agents described the attack on the 36-year-old Agent Rogelio Martinez and his partner, as they responded to reports of suspicious activity in the Big Bend area of El Paso Texas. Martinez later died at a local area hospital and his partner, whose name was not yet been released, was in serious condition but expected to live.
Authorities added:
"What we know is that Border Patrol Agent Rogelio Martinez appears to have been ambushed by a group of illegal aliens whom he was tracking. Our agents' reports from the ground say that he was struck in the head multiple times with a rock or rocks," said Brandon Judd, a Border Patrol agent and president of the San Diego-based National Border Patrol Council union that represents 16,000 agents.
"The other agent arrived on scene a short time later and was also ambushed and struck in the head with what is believed to have been a rock or rocks," Judd said. "These disgusting acts and complete disregard for human life need to stop immediately. Family members of slain Agent Martinez will never get to see him come home again all because we have failed to secure our borders from such criminals."
Couple all this with the fact that almost one-third of the 214 U.S. based MS-13 gang members who were arrested in an international sweep last week were invited into the United States under former President Barack Hussein Obama's "Unaccompanied Alien Children" policy and we have quite the mess on our hands.
One-Third of 214 Arrested MS-13 Gangsters Were 'Unaccompanied Alien Children'
Almost one-third of 214 U.S.-based MS-13 gang members arrested in an international sweep were invited into the United States by President Barack Obama's "Unaccompanied Alien Children" policy.
The successful "Raging Bull' sweep was announced by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Deputy Director Tom Homan in a joint press conference at ICE headquarters in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.
The operation is a "significant step towards dismantling and eradicating MS-13 in the United States and in El Salvador," said Deputy Assistant Attorney General David Rybicki, the second-ranking official at DOJ's Criminal Division. El Salvador police also arrested 53 gang members in El Salvador.
Sixteen of the 214 arrestees in the United States are U.S. citizens. Five were legal immigrants.
Ninety-three of 214 arrestees are charged with federal or state criminal offenses and will face prison time in the United States, said Derek Benner, the deputy executive associate director of the Homeland Security Investigations division.
The group of 214 include 193 illegal aliens, including 121 arrestees who will be deported but will not face criminal charges.
Sixty-four of the 193 illegals – nearly one in three – are would-be "dreamers" because they illegally crossed the border while claiming to be minors. Their unscreened claims to be children — not adults — won them the legal status of "Unaccompanied Alien Children," which allowed them to claim federal aid and be released into the United States.
The status was provided by Obama's administration, which was seeking ways to welcome migrants from Central America into the United States. That invite spiraled out of control, resulting in a huge wave of migrants in 2014, which helped Donald Trump get elected.
"Definitely some UACs end up being bad people and enter the country to do bad things," said Homan, who is serving as acting ICE director and was nominated on Tuesday by Trump to head the agency. "That's why we asked for several policy changes in [the requests] we sent to the Hill."
Criminal charges against the 214 gang-members include racketeering and conspiracy to commit murder in the furtherance of racketeering. According to Rybicki, an entire eight-man MS-13 "clique" (a local division of a gang) was arrested in the operation. This "Sailors Clique" operated in suburban Maryland, a hotspot of MS-13 activity, and has been linked to at least three murders.
U.S. Border Patrol Deputy Chief Scott Luck explained that the operation worked with El Salvadoran intelligence agencies to identify people with links to MS-13.
The gang was created in Los Angeles during the 1980s because the U..S government failed to enforce immigration laws, which allowed El Salvador youths to sneak into the United States. Without economic skills in California's diverse society, they formed their own national gang — and then recreated that gang in their own homeland once the illegal immigrants were repatriated home.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Francis Cissna explained that his agency's work to identify illegal aliens with gang affiliations was vital to Raging Bull's success. USCIS had one of its Fraud Detection and National Security Directorate (FDNS) agents at the Raging Bull command center full time to work to that effect. "That individual reviewed asylum claims for MS-13 members targeted by the operation and assisted in assembling target packages for the immigration and/or criminal court proceedings of these gang members arrested during the operation," Cissna said.
As Attorney General Jeff Sessions bemoaned in October, gang members and other unworthy illegal aliens often use the United States's generous asylum policies to tie up their cases in administrative proceedings, often needing only a "credible claim" of persecution in their home country to avoid deportation for years.
"FDNS also notified ICE HSI regarding asylum applicants with strong ties to MS-13 or other significant gang indicators," Cissna continued. "Our headquarters FDNS officers search USCIS systems for information regarding 195 targeted MS-13 members and associates identified by the operation for additional vetting."
Operation Raging Bull carries on a series of nationwide and international efforts against the brutal gang. In July, Attorney General Sessions went to El Salvador to announce nearly 600 arrests in that country. Earlier in the summer, ICE's "Operation Matador" netted dozens of arrests in the United States.
El Salvador police also arrested 53 gang members in el Salvador.
This is what decades of globalism have done to our nation. From George HW. Bush to Bill Clinton, to George W. Bush, to Barack Hussein Obama to almost another Bush. Our nation is starting to resemble a third world cesspool. One that's filled with the terror of MS-13 thanks to politicians who never have to leave their fortresses and don't have to deal with the fall out these people cause. They don't have to compete for the same jobs nor do they have to share the same streets with them. This is why President Donald J. Trump was elected. Because American Citizens are sick and tired of seeing what is being done to our glorious nation in the name of political correctness, globalism, and diversity. Enough is enough!
Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has offered a generous $20,000 reward for information on Agent Martinez's death. Those with tips are asked to call the Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-252-8477.

This Is What Trump Did IMMEDIATELY After Illegal Killed Border Agent To Ensure It NEVER Happens Again
This is it!
Illegals crossing the border in Texas crossed another line yesterday after what they did to border patrol agents. We've known for some time that the illegal alien problem in the United States is completely out of control, but the considerations given to illegals by the left seems to have emboldened them to extreme levels. No longer content with just crossing into the United States to get good jobs or live in freedom, the illegals flooding our borders are now proving what many have known for some time; if they're willing to break the law to come here, they'll break other laws while they're here.
One Texas border patrol learned that in the most difficult way possible on Sunday when a band of illegals bashed his head in with rocks. The agent radioed for support, and at least one other agent was also injured in the attack, though details of his status are not yet being released to the media, but he is said to be hospitalized at this time.
President Trump, who has from the very first day of his political career vowed to do something about the illegal problem in the United States, weighed in on the incident, making it clear what his intentions are. According to the Daily Mail, the President made some promises that should make every illegal tremble in fear:
"President Donald Trump says those responsible for the death one U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent and the serious injury of another will be brought to justice. He also reiterated his call for a wall at the U.S. border with Mexico.
A Border Protection spokesman says Agent Rogelio Martinez and his partner were hospitalized Sunday after being hurt while on duty in the Big Bend area of South Texas.
Martinez died at the hospital. His partner's name has not been released."
Border Patrol Officer killed at Southern Border, another badly hurt. We will seek out and bring to justice those responsible. We will, and must, build the Wall!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 20, 2017
There has always been an era of helplessness that illegals attempted to project when the subject of their illegal immigration was raised. As if the only purpose that anyone had for coming to the United States was just to work hard and make a better future for their families. And while that might be true for some, the overwhelming numbers of gang members, professional welfare collectors, and other criminals have exploded, completely eviscerating that much-promoted ideology.
Sunday's attack has prompted an investigation by the FBI which is now in charge of the investigation. The officer who tragically died in the line of duty was Agent Rogelio Martinez. Martinez was 36 years old and has been a border patrol agent since August of 2013.
Here are more details about the attack from Breitbart News:
"One Border Patrol agent is dead and his partner left hospitalized in serious condition in the Big Bend Sector of Texas. The FBI is leading the investigation while Border Patrol Special Operations agents and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Air and Marine Operations aircrews are currently searching the area for possible attackers.
We do know that two Border Patrol agents working as partners in the Van Horn Station area of responsibility of the Big Bend Sector responded to "activity." Whether the activity was an activated sensor or something else is currently unknown. This occurred on the morning of Sunday, November 19, 2017.
One of the Border Patrol agents later radioed into the communication center saying that he needed assistance and that he was injured. Other Border Patrol agents responded and found one agent injured and unconscious with injuries to his head and body. That agent, Rogelio Martinez, was later pronounced dead. Breitbart has learned that the agent's family has been notified.
The responding agents also found the partner who had radioed for help. The agents transported the injured agent to the hospital where he is in "serious condition," according to the official.Border Patrol agents and Culberson County Sheriff's Office deputies secured the area.
Border Patrol Agent and President of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) Brandon Judd spoke with Breitbart Texas and expressed the council's deepest condolences to the family of Agent Martinez and to the family of the other agent who is not named at this time. Agent Judd said that this is another example of why the border must be secured. Judd stated, 'When all facts come to light on this matter, I believe the public will be outraged as there are those who do not value life who come across our border. Our borders must be secured and criminals must be held accountable.'
Border Patrol Agent Brandon Judd, also president of the NBPC, stated, 'What we know is that Border Patrol Agent Rogilio Martinez appears to have been ambushed by a group of illegal aliens whom he was tracking. Our agents' reports from the ground say that he was struck in the head multiple times with a rock or rocks.'"
We have officially blown past the point where illegals can ever again be seen as a harmless group. Agent Martinez gave his life to protect us from those who would take our nation by force. Please don't let his sacrifice be in vain, let's stand with Martinez and President Trump and take our country back.

Urgent Alert Released After 2nd Killing Spree In Texas Targets Kids – Here's Who Cops Have In Custody
Ever since Trump got into office, his vow to "make America safe again" by keeping illegal aliens and third world country vermin out of our country has been met with resistance from liberals. Despite ISIS and MS-13 gang members pouring into our country constantly, 261 sanctuary cities continue to harbor these people, blatantly refusing to uphold our nation's laws. After months of liberals fighting tooth and nail to defy Trump and harbor illegals, disturbing breaking news about what an illegal has done to a 7-year-old girl is making headlines, proving yet again why we needs these degenerates rounded up and sent back to Mexico, as soon as freaking possible.
For reasons that defy all logic, illegal alien Rolando Martinez, 25, thought it would be fun to take a joy ride with his illegally-obtained AR-15 and randomly begin shooting at cars along a 18-mile stretch of highway on south Austin's Interstate 35. Four innocent people, including a 7-year-old girl were hit, where the child is now clinging to life after being shot in the head.
KXAN reported:
Police identified a man accused of shooting at cars with an assault rifle along an 18-mile stretch of Interstate 35 Saturday morning.
Late Sunday night Rolando Martinez, 25, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a 2nd-degree felony. Four people including a 7-year-old girl were hit. The child remains in critical condition as of Saturday evening.
Austin police say the shooting began about 2 a.m. Saturday and ended around 3:15 a.m. Calls to 911 came in from multiple places along I-35, stretching from south Austin at Stassney Lane up to Wells Branch Parkway.
"We have a lot of crime scenes. We have several people that were injured in this," said Austin Police Assistant Chief Joseph Chacon on Saturday…
…Officials arrested Martinez at a home on municipal traffic warrants Saturday. When they questioned him, he told them he had been drinking at the Nocturno Nightclub and didn't remember much from that night but he did remember waking up in a grassy median near the freeway, according to the affidavit…
…Martinez's bond is set at $1 million. According to Travis County Jail records, he has an Immigration and Naturalization Service detainer on him.
The local news has more details, revealing that this crazed Mexican actually started his shooting spree at a gas station up the road. KVUE reported:
Shortly before 2:30 a.m., police responded to the Valero gas station at I-35 and Braker Lane, and officers learned a man – later identified as Martinez – was seen "pointing a black AR-style rifle at several customers who were in the parking lot." Police said in the affidavit they reviewed surveillance video to confirm reports provided by witnesses.
While police were responding to the Valero station, officers were also called to the area of North Lamar and Masterson Pass for a report of three people – a 29-year-old male, a 31-year-old female, and a 7-year-old girl – shot inside a vehicle. The two adult victims suffered minor injuries, while the child suffered life-threatening injuries. Police said these victims reported they heard shots fired at them but did not get a look at the suspect's vehicle.
Is this enough bloodshed for you now, liberals? Despite evidence of ISIS and dangerous MS-13 gangs pouring into our country, braindead liberals still want to blast Trump as a minority-hating "bigot" for wanting to crack down on immigration. President Trump has recently had to resort to calling for the arrests of mayors and governors across America, who keep vowing to harbor these dangerous individuals, just like Rolando Martinez.
One of the liberal morons defiantly leading the charge against Trump's immigration policies over the past several months has been Cuban-born Miami Mayor Carlose Gimenez, who up until several days ago, continued to defiantly resist Trump's orders by harboring illegals. But Trump had finally had enough of idiots like Gimenez endangering the lives of Americans by refusing to comply with federal law, and set out to teach Gimenez a brutal lesson, threatening to pull a $480,000 federal police grant for non-compliance.
After receiving the letter by Trump's Justice Department that he was about to be sued and on top of that have his funding yanked, the Hispanic mayor immediately began changing his tune, and decided to do the intelligent thing, and begin complying with federal orders.
Congrats, liberals. If this little girl dies from your precious illegal, her blood is on YOUR hands…not ours.

(Updating Rolling Back Government. A Budget Plan to Rebuild America, The Heritage Foundation, 1995.) The 104th Congress is considering proposals to reform the Occupational Safety and Health Administra- tion (OSHA) and merge it with the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). The goal of these re- forms is to redefine the federal government's role in workplace safety and health to "refocus the responsi- bility for ensuring worksite safety and health on the workplace." I In recent years, the federal government has been perceived as more concerned with maintaining bureaucracies and filling out paperwork than with working cooperatively with businesses to make workplaces safer. Although Congress intended for OSHA and MSHA to assure all workers safe and healthy working condi- tions, the effectiveness of these agencies in carrying out their missions is questionable. From rulemaking to enforcement, the regulatory nightmare that businesses face has made OSHA inspectors as feared as IRS auditors.2 Although most employers maintain relatively safe and healthy workplaces, OSHA maintains an adversarial approach to setting and enforcing standards. Consequently, many employers are reluctant to call OSHA for compliance assistance3 for fear of triggering punitive inspections. Further, the legal requirement that every mine be inspected four times a year makes it virtually impossible for MSHA to target enforce- ment resources where they are needed most-mines with poor safety records. Merging MSHA with a reformed OSHA is a sensible first step toward improving workplace health and safety, limiting unnecessary government intervention, and reducing inefficient, wasteful government spend- ing. The National Performance Review recognized that an army of OSHA inspectors is neither necessary nor likely given the federal budget situation, and MSHA's "lengthy approval process delays the introduc- 994 tion of new technologies that may improve mine safety. Businesses already have much stronger financial incentives than OSHA penalties, such as the costs of lost productivity, workers' compensation, and liability claims,5 to maintain and continually improve the safety of their workplaces. Thus, the role of the federal government should be redefined from that of heavy-handed regulator to one of cooperative partner.
CURRENT REFORM INITIATIVES A number of bills have been introduced in both the House and the Senate to reform workplace health and safety programs. The leading bill in the House is H.R. 1834, the Safety and Health Improvement and Regu- latory Reform Act of 1995, introduced by Representative Cass Ballenger (R-NC). In the Senate, Judd Gregg (R-NH) has introduced the Occupational Safety and Health Amendments of 1995 (S. 526), and Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) has introduced the Occupational Safety and Health Reform Act of 1995 (S. 592). Of these three bills, H.R. 1834 represents the most comprehensive OSHA reform. It also is the only bill that consolidates administrative overhead and ends duplicative costs by merging OSHA and MSHA. Legislative changes are necessary to enable MSHA to allocate resources more efficiently and OSHA to work cooperatively with businesses"-for example, by making compliance assistance a permanent, central part of its program and mission. Efforts to reprioritize agency spending or administratively reinvent the agencies would change their bureaucratic culture only marginally and do little to consolidate administrative overhead and eliminate duplicative activities. President Clinton offered to reinvent OSHA after the 104th Congress announced its intention to create a more effective and efficient OSHA. 6 In addition, President Clinton's proposed FY 1996 budget increased funding for compliance assistance by 23 percent while increasing overall OSHA spending by 10.9 percent. However, Congress can accom- plish much more by fundamentally redefining the role of the federal government so that it recognizes and more effectively utilizes the incentives businesses already have to improve workplace health and safety.
What Congress Should Do 0 Significantly reform OSHA. Although executive branch initiatives to reinvent workplace health and safety are welcome, statutory changes are required to redefine the federal government's role and ensure that congressional intent is car- ried out. Specifically, V Reform OSHA's regulatory process. OSHA's bureaucratic culture and lawyers have put the search for completely risk-free workplaces and ease of prosecution above common sense. As a result, it can take ten or more years to complete a rule.7OSHA's regulatory process would be more timely and less burdensome if it focused initially on hazards that pose the greatest risk to the most workers. The development of compliance directives should be made part of the rulemaking process and tied directly to economic analysis. Far too often, compliance directives are more burdensome than the rules themselves. OSHA also should be required to reassess the actual costs and benefits of its regulations after five years.
V Enhance and expand compliance assistance. Translating OSHA's confusing jumble of regulations into safer workplaces is difficult at best. Most employers want safe and healthy workplaces if OSHA will just tell them how. Unfortunately, the De- partment of Labor is more concerned with prosecuting employers than with providing accurate, reli- able compliance information. Explicitly redefining OSHA's mission towards compliance assistance will leverage employers' desire for safety and dramatically improve workplace safety and health. Allow inspectors to issue first instance warnings for hazards that do not pose an imminent danger. OSHA continues its adversarial approach to standard setting and enforcement. Many employers are reluctant to call OSHA for assistance in making their workplaces safer for fear of triggering punitive in- spections. First instance warnings will remove a major barrier to voluntary compliance. * Require OSHA inspectors to have some expertise in the industry they are inspecting. OSHA inspectors are called upon to inspect a variety of workplaces, many of which, like mining, in- volve complex operations. 8 Employers and employees deserve to have their workplaces inspected by qualified persons. * Merge MSHA into a reformed OSHA. Although OSHA and the MSHA were created separately, the rationale for keeping them apart no longer exists. Workplace injury and illness data no longer justify maintaining these agencies as separate entities with practically the same level of resources.9Merging MSHA with a reformed OSHA and reallocating fed- eraI resources will accomplish two important objectives: It will eliminate administrative overhead and du- plicative costs, and increase workplace health and safety in all industries. Reforming the Mine Act to require only one inspection per year will enable MSHA to shift its inspection resources from mine operators with exemplary safety records to operators with poor safety records. By fo- cusing on the "bad players," OSHA's new Mine Office will improve mine safety where it is needed most. Mine operators with good safety records will continue to have incentives to remain safe, in addition to fewer inspections and lower workers' compensation costs, and the new Mine Office will be able to use its resources more efficiently to focus on the "bad players." Further, merging the two agencies will settle juris- dictional questions about enforcement and eliminate the maze of memoranda of understanding that cur- rently exists between OSHA and MSHA. Mine workers and taxpayers will get more mine safety for their hard-earned dollars.
Heritage Foundation analysts estimate that consolidating MSHA and OSHA could save up to $5 10 mil- lion over five years. 10 Merging MSHA and OSHA would eliminate the need for the federal government to write two separate health regulations covering the same workplace hazard, one for mining and one for eve- rybody else. For example, there is no reason to have two separate Hazard Communication Standards, and noise protection for miners is no different from noise protection for other workers. Regional and administra- tive offices would be combined, and MSHA's Office of Information and Public Affairs could be eliminated.
Merging MSHA with a reformed OSHA will not reduce workplace health and safety. No MSHA safety or health regulations would be abolished. I I Each underground mine will be thoroughly inspected at least once a year by qualified inspectors, and all workers will be able to request federal inspections if employers ignore their concerns about unsafe conditions. MSHA's imminent danger closure rule will be maintained, and mine workers finally will be covered by OSHA's health regulations. Focusing resources on compliance assistance will improve the ability of "good players" to translate OSHA and MSHA regulations into safer workplaces. Most important, by requiring only one mandatory inspection per year instead of four, a new OSHA/MSHA will be able to reallocate its resources to focus on improving the "bad players" instead of le- gally having to inspect mines with good safety records.
CONCLUSION Federal workplace health and safety laws should be reformed to redefine the government's role and lever- age the strong incentives businesses already have to improve and maintain workplace health and safety. Statutory reform is required to enable MSHA to allocate resources more efficiently and OSHA to work co- operatively with businesses-for example, by making compliance assistance a central part of its program and mission. Merging MSHA with a reformed OSHA is a sensible first step toward improving workplace health and safety, limiting unnecessary government intervention, and reducing inefficient, wasteful govern- ment spending. Redefining government's role in workplace health and safety should refocus the responsibility for ensur- ing workplace safety and health on employers and employees. Common-sense regulations and compliance assistance combined with competitive market pressures to increase productivity, keep skilled workers, and minimize legal and insurance costs will do more to increase workplace health and safety than any army of government inspectors and lawyers. Reforrning OSHA and consolidating it with MSHA is a win-win for hard-working American taxpayers. American workers and taxpayers will get healthier, safer workplaces at lower cost.

Vizenor: Protesters were far from 'peaceful'
Despite initial reports of peaceful gatherings in White Earth Tuesday, tribal officials say protesters went far beyond the normal right to free speech and peaceful assembly.
Police Chief Randy Goodwin said some of the protesters used force to try to gain access to the White Earth Tribal Headquarters. One pushed an officer in the face and others were involved in a "slight pushing contest."
Flagpoles had been damaged, a state flag and a tribal flag were stolen then burned, Goodwin added. Some tried to force water coolers off the walls in the new $18 million tribal headquarters building.
The American flag was left hanging upside down at half staff, an apparent distress symbol.
"The peaceful protesting that protesters were saying was going on, was not going on," Goodwin said in a press conference Friday.
At one point, a group of protesters was able to gain access to the headquarters building and lock executive director Ron Valiant in his office, Goodwin said, adding that Valiant was threatened numerous times.
"Even earlier that day they told him, when they had locked him in his office, that they were going to tear him into pieces and remove him that way," he added.
Police also confirmed reports of protesters putting on gloves and getting ready to either break some windows and storm the building or fight with officers, Goodwin said.
Videos posted on Facebook and YouTube were edited or staged, he said, law enforcement have videos of their own that will be used as evidence when criminal charges are filed.
When ready, criminal charges will either be filed in district, tribal or federal courts, he said.
Tribal Chairwoman Erma Vizenor said when the protesters -- those who signed a petition aiming to oust her from office -- disrupt tribal government operations, and use violence to enter the building, they're out of line.
"The conduct of petitioners have far exceeded the limits of free speech and assembly," she said. "The 30 to 50 individuals seem to think they can yell and threaten me out of office.
"One physically put force on me and I filed a complaint against that individual."
A small minority of the 20,000 White Earth enrollees do not agree with law and order, the tribal judicial system, a priority on education and on health care, Vizenor said.
Which is why they organized the petition with signatures -- some of which she said were "forged" and others invalid because they lacked a proper address, or confirmation of membership.
The petition -- the second one since April -- was presented to the council on June 28. It was denied once again by the council due to a shortfall of legitimate signatures, and a hearing that was initially scheduled for Aug. 9 was canceled.
The Minnesota Chippewa Tribe (MCT) received the petition for verification of signatures in the official enrollment book. Out of the 568 signatures, 109 did not match the enrollment book, Vizenor said.
"We have reports that some individuals signed the petition only because of intimidation," she added.
Vizenor is accused of not following the MCT Constitution, although she said she ran and won the election on a constitutional reform agenda.
"Constitutional reform has put me as a lightning rod," she said. "But that's what I'm here for."
Although the petition was rejected, she responded to its allegations anyway:
The tribal law enforcement agreements with the state and surrounding counties pre-date Vizenor's term as chairwoman, but she supports them because they increase jurisdiction and flexibility for tribal police to enforce state and tribal law on the reservation, Vizenor explained.
"Protecting public safety is the responsibility of tribal government," she said.
"All six bands under the constitution of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe have functioning law enforcement departments."
Additionally, the roots of the tribal court system stem to 1994, when Ada Deer, head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs at the time, responded to a letter of inquiry from then-tribal Chairman Chip Wadena. Deer told him a constitutional amendment is not necessary for a tribal court, Vizenor said.
The allegations of granting hunting and fishing rights to non-members are false, Vizenor added, and membership has not been granted to those who are less than a quarter MCT blood degree.
She provided signed affidavits from three employees in the tribal enrollment office to that effect.
And she included an affidavit from Jeffrey Wark, the chair of the White Earth Election Board, that tribal elections are honest, fair and free from tribal council influence.
No tribal rights have been suspended, she said.
"There are absolutely no grounds, reason or rationale for recent disruptions of tribal operations -- damage and destruction by the lawless few that cost the White Earth tribe over $100,000."
Vizenor said the protesters were trying to re-enact tactics used to oust former chairman Chip Wadena.
But as a former Camp Justice participant herself, she said she knows the charges are different, the circumstances don't compare and back then, it was a much more peaceful situation.
"We had affidavits at that time from persons who witnessed election fraud," she said. "In many ways I can understand why people believe tribal leaders are corrupt."
Past attempts to use peaceful assemblies to end the corruption were based on a credible and honest movement, as opposed to the current "Camp Justice Again" group -- some of whom use drugs and verbal abuse, tribal officials said.
Vizenor said she believes the council will receive a third petition, but she doesn't anticipate it will work to oust her before her time.

Chris Paul had 20 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds and the New Orleans Hornets held off a rally, then pulled away to beat Phoenix 108-95 Thursday night and spoil the home debut of new Suns coach Terry Porter.
The Hornets, who never trailed, improved to 2-0 on the heels of a season-opening victory at Golden State on Wednesday night.
Peja Stojakovic added 20 points before leaving the game with a sprained right ankle in the first few seconds of the fourth quarter. New Orleans already was without starting center Tyson Chandler, who sprained his right ankle against the Warriors.
Morris Peterson added 21 and David West 18 for New Orleans. James Posey scored 13, including three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, as the Hornets beat Phoenix for the fifth time in a row. They were 4-0 against the Suns last season.
Steve Nash had 24 points and nine assists, and Amare Stoudemire added 21 points and 12 rebounds for Phoenix. The Suns committed 24 turnovers, resulting in 21 New Orleans points, after only 10 in their victory at San Antonio the previous night.
Down by as many as 16 in the first half and 15 in the third quarter, the Suns scored the first seven points of the fourth to cut the Hornets' lead to 81-76 on rookie Goran Dragic's 9-foot runner with 8:34 to play, his first NBA field goal.
Grant Hill's 17-footer as the shot clock approached zero cut it to 83-80 with 7:08 to play. But Posey sank a 3-pointer, Rasual Butler made another, then Posey hit one again to boost the Hornets' lead to 92-83 with 4:46 left.
Butler's second 3-pointer of the quarter made it 97-87 with 3:08 to go.
New Orleans made its first six shots to take a 14-2 lead.
The Suns made 1-of-7 shots and committed seven turnovers in an ugly first seven minutes of the second quarter. The Hornets, meanwhile, built a 49-33 lead when Shaquille O'Neal was called for goaltending on Paul's shot with three minutes left in the half.
Phoenix went on an 11-2 run to cut it to 51-44 with 41.1 seconds left, but West made two free throws, then Paul sank a 3-pointer with two seconds to play to give New Orleans a 56-44 lead at the break.
The Suns got no closer than 10 in the third quarter and were down 81-69 entering the fourth.
Notes: The Hornets play their home opener Saturday against Cleveland. ... Suns rookie Robin Lopez had three fouls and a turnover in the first 1:35 of the second quarter. ... Phoenix was called for three technicals in the first half _ on Stoudemire, Porter and Nash.

As is evident from the definition of the consumption function, consumption expenditure is a stable function of income. The fact is also supported by statistical evidence. The data on consumption expenditure and income from all over the world testify the stability of the relationship between the two.
Nevertheless, factors other than income cannot be overlooked as insignificant in respect of their influence on the consumption expenditure. Keynes himself has observed in his General Theory, "The amount that the community spends on consumption obviously depends:
1. Partly on the amount of its income,
2. Partly on the other objective attendant circumstances, and
3. Partly on the other subjective needs of the psychological propensities and habits of the individuals composing it and the principle on which the income is divided between them."
In general, the factors influencing consumption demand may be summarised below:
1. Income:
The consumption expenditure, as seen earlier, is a function of income. It varies directly with income of the consumers. The higher the income, the higher the consumption expenditure except at sufficiently high levels of income at which the consumption expenditure reaches a saturation point and even begins to decline beyond it. Exceptional behaviour of the consumption expenditure is witnessed in advanced countries or among the rich when consumers attain desired level of standard of living.
2. The Objective Factors:
Among the objective factors are the following ones:
(a) Distribution of Income:
National income remaining the same, consumption expenditure would depend on how national income is distributed among the consumers in a nation. People with smaller incomes spend everything on consumer goods.
Their income levels are either below the levels of subsistence or at par with it. On the contrary, the rich enjoy incomes much higher than their desired levels of consumption. The rich, therefore, do not spend whole of their income on consumption.
Despite their wasteful expenditures, the rich are able to save a lot. If a redistribution of income takes place so that the income-surplus with the rich is equitably distributed among the poorer sections of the community, the aggregate consumption expenditure would certainly increase and the level of savings would significantly fall.
Income distribution, thus, has a significant role to play in influencing the magnitude of the consumption expenditure. Also, it is easy to observe that the inequality of income distribution is must for the accumulation of savings which are so essential for financing the investment.
(b) Stock of Wealth:
Wealth is accumulated by the people either to provide against the uncertainties of life or to help meet some expenditure in future or even for the purpose of demonstration. Successive units of wealth accumulated follow the law of diminishing marginal utility.
As a result, the desire for additional units of wealth, at certain level of its stock, is overtaken by the desire for enjoying current consumption. The consumption expenditure continues to be low until the desired stock of wealth is accumulated and it begins to increase thereafter. The argument, however, is based on Pigou's model of consumer behaviour which was not supported by any empirical tests.
(c) Capital Gains:
Also known as windfall gains, the capital gains do not enter into the net income which is generally treated as the source of financing the consumption expenditure. Capital gains obviously constitute a significant component of the disposable income of the consumers.
J.M. Keynes recognized the fact and attributed the cause of the prolonged American boom of late twenties to the higher consumption expenditure sustained by a large volume of capital gains realized by the Americans in the stock markets. Most of the economists, except Jan Tinbergen, ignored capital gains as one of the sources of financing the consumption expenditure.
(d) Availability of Consumer Credit:
It is a common observation that a large number of the households procure credit facility to acquire consumer durables such as automobiles, TVs, refrigerators, etc. In absence of such credit facility, known as consumer-credit, the expenditure on the consumer durables would decline significantly as a sizable number of consumers lack cash to buy such items. Thus availability of the consumer credit has a significant bearing on the consumption expenditure.
(e) Rate of Interest:
According to classical economists, rate of interest is the sole determinant of the size of the savings. The higher the rate of interest, the higher the tendency among the people to save. Thus a rise in the rate of interest increases the volume of savings and hence decreases the consumption expenditure.
J.M. Keynes, however, rejected the classical contention and held that the volume of savings depends on the volume of income. A large number of economists are in agreement with Keynes but are not so certain about their convictions.
It is, nevertheless, true that borrowings for the purchase of consumer durables get discouraged at higher rates of interest. Equally true is the observation that higher rates of interest serve as an incentive to people to save for heavier returns on their savings.
The notion cannot, however, be applied uniformly on all the individuals. Some of them divide savings between current and future consumption. Quite a few empirical studies have, nevertheless, confirmed an inverse variation of consumption expenditure with the rate of interest.
3. Subjective Factors:
Subjective factors vary from individual to individual and are not quantifiable like the objective factors. J.M. Keynes identified certain motives that compel individuals to exercise restraints on their consumption expenditures. Some of them are mentioned below:
1. Motive of Precaution: To raise reserves against unforeseen contingencies.
2. Motive of Enterprise: To raise reserves for business or for speculation.
3. Motive of Avarice: To satisfy miserliness or inhibitions against acts of expenditure.
4. Motive of Pride: To bequeath a fortune.
5. Motive of Improvement: To enjoy gradually increasing expenditure for improving standard of living.
6. Motive of Independence: To acquire a sense of economic independence.
7. Motive of Calculation: To enjoy interest appreciation for larger real consumption at a later date.
8. Motive of Foresight: To provide for old-age, children's education or for their marriage.
J.M. Keynes himself has called these motives as the motives of precaution, enterprise, avarice, pride, improvement, independence, calculation and foresight respectively. Motives for saving by the state, public sector and by the private sector corporations are, according to Keynes, the motives of enterprise, motives of liquidity, motives of improvement, and the motives of financial prudence.

I am currently taking 7 weeks off work. My original plan was to ride trail centres in Scotland and Wales but ill health has forced me to stay local so I have bought Ben Haworth's book of West Yorkshire mountain bike rides and am aiming to dip into it for occasional outings when energy levels etc permit. Today I did the Haworth south one. It was a tad gale force ont' tops but otherwise was v happy to ride some ST new to me, local to me. Always a good thing.

MURDERER Will Blencowe will serve a life sentence for fatally stabbing Connor Tremble in a "vicious and carefully planned" attack.
Yesterday the 21-year-old was told he would spend a minimum of 23 years behind bars for murdering Connor on February 13 this year.
This prompted a sigh of relief from the 17-year-old's mother, Lisa Tremble, who said "always have faith'' after the Oxford Crown Court hearing.
Blencowe, who grew up in West Oxfordshire and attended schools in Clanfield, Burford and Chipping Norton, stabbed Connor 15 times in the teenager's flat in Fairacres Road, Oxford.
He showed no emotion as he was led away to start his prison sentence.
On Thursday a jury found him unanimously guilty of murder after a 13-day trial.
The prosecution said he planned the murder because he was jealous of Connor's relationship with his ex-girlfriend Aimee Harrison.
After the hearing Connor's mother. Lisa Tremble, said: "I can't say I'm happy or glad, I don't know what to feel.
"I'm satisfied with the sentence he was given.
"I was robbed of my one and only son, so was his dad and everyone else.''
The senior investigating officer in the case, Detective Chief Inspector Mark Glover, called Blencowe's crime a "pre-planned, unprovoked attack fuelled by jealousy".
He said: "His sentence reflects the severity of the crime Will Blencowe committed.
"Throughout this process he has shown no remorse for his actions, which led to Connor's death.
"He has not done anything to help the police with their investigation and he will now have a long time in prison to reflect upon his actions.
"Our investigation was especially frustrated by Blencowe travelling to Stratford-upon-Avon and escaping with the clothing and the knife used in the stabbing."
Passing sentence, Judge Patrick Eccles said the lives of the teenager's family had been "utterly changed" by Blencowe's actions.
He told the defendant: "It is difficult now to comprehend the terror and pain Connor Tremble must have experienced. He was confronted without warning in his own home by a man he did not at the time recognise, who was armed with a knife.
"And who then in a frenzy of anger, jealousy and hate, stabbed him 15 times to his body with a further 11 thrusts with the knife that missed him."
He added: "You will never understand the depth of pain and sorrow you have inflicted not only on Connor but also on his mother, father and other family members."
Blencowe's sentence means he will serve a minimum of 23 years before he is eligible for release, which will only happen if the Parole Board rules he is no longer a risk to the public. He will then spend the rest of his life on licence.

In this hopeful, humorous, and astonishingly deft debut, Allison Winn Scotch explores what happens when a young woman thinks she's lost everything that matters' and ends up discovering what's truly important. This is a novel that will leave you taking stock of what's important in your own life . . . and never letting it go.
It didn't start out as the worst day of Natalie Miller's life. At 30, she is moving up the political ladder, driven by raw ambition and ruthless determination. As the top aide to New York's powerful female senator, she works hard, stays late, and enjoys every bit of it, even if the bills she's pushing through do little to improve the lives of the senator's constituents. And if her boyfriend isn't the sexiest guy alive, at least he's a warm body to come home to.
Then he announces he's leaving. But that news is barely a blip compared to what Natalie's doctor tells her: She has breast cancer. And she can't cure it by merely being headstrong. Now the life Natalie must change is her own.
All her energy, what little of it she has left, must go into saving herself from a merciless disease. So when she's not lying on the sofa recovering from her treatments and indulging in a curious addiction to The Price Is Right, she realizes it's time to take a hard look at her choices. She begins by tracking down the five loves-of-her-life to assess what went wrong. Along the way, she questions her relationships with her friends, her parents, her colleagues, the one who got away, and, most important, with herself: Why is she so busy moving through life that she never stops to embrace it?
As Natalie sleuths out the answers to these questions, her journey of self-discovery takes her down new paths and to unexplored places. And she learns that sometimes when life is at its most unexpected, it's not what you lose that makes you who you are . . . it's what you find.

"specific in your descriptions of books"
The book was a good debut novel. It was a heart wrenching story, but no where in the description did it mention a 30 year old had to have both breasts removed. With all the breast cancer victims in the world today, you might want to give them warning to be sure they are ready to face their experience again.
"It's Really Chic Fic"
If this is an Allison Winn Scotch "debut" novel, then I can say she's bettered her craft considerably since writing this book.The situations here are so simple and archetypal they have become "de rigueur", and the author engages in the customary contemporary product placements, brand names, etc. A sidebar: why do all the latest novels now have a "sectional sofa" - perversely even called a "couch" - that is always mentioned as if to specifically connote trendiness?
Anyway, this is mild enough to be a beach read, even the hard-hitting and traumatic health situation, which turns out all OK if a bit of a stretch. Becoming social with one's gynecologist is also a bit unrealistic but I guess it's part of suspending disbelief. I can't be more specific or I'll commit spoilage.
This novel is very well-written, delivers all the right messages, and flows smoothly and energetically, but I prefer the much more complex and interesting, even ironic, setups in "Time of My Life" and even "The Song Remains the Same".
Narration is good, and I have been happy with other books read by Julia Whelan.

Pin placements were tricky, akin to the final day at a major, for the San Diego Section boys championship at Coronado Municipal Golf Course.
But Scripps Ranch High senior Alexander Schauffele remained patient and beat the nation's top-ranked junior golfer, Anthony Paolucci of La Jolla Country Day, by one stroke for the second time this year.
Schauffele shot a 2-under 70 Thursday for a two-day total of 137 and his first section title.
"It's like the Sunday pin placements at the Masters," said San Pasqual coach Jamie Wills. "Anthony Paolucci had a good comment. 'It's the only way to protect the course against the caliber of these players.' "
Schauffele and his coach, Mikel Moran, were among several who questioned the precariously placed pins that resulted in few low scores.
"Today, the pin placements were brutal," Moran said. "Quite a few people made comments that this isn't the U.S. Open. This is high school golf. It was tough."
Schauffele said he almost started complaining.
"But I figured everybody else had to play through it, so I didn't," he said.
Torrey Pines defended its section team title in Division I. La Jolla Country Day won the Division II crown. Both teams advance to Tuesday's Southern California Regional Championships at Brookside Golf Club.
Torrey Pines' Jay Hwang, who shot 71 for a 139 total to finish third for the third straight year, said winning the title was only part of what the team has in mind accomplishing.
"This is just step by step. It feels good winning CIF, but our goal is winning state," he said.
Despite finishing second to Schauffele, Paolucci was happy his solid play helped his team win the Division II title.
Schauffele and Paolucci were even through nine holes on a San Diego postcard day. Paolucci birdied 10 and Schauffele bogeyed 10, giving the defending champion a two-stroke lead. But it was hole No. 11, which Schauffele parred, that was the turning point. Paolucci overshot the hole and ended up with a triple-bogey on the par-3. He was never able to make up the one-stroke deficit.
"(Paolucci) took it right down to the end," said LJCD coach Bill Cahoone. "It was a good match."
He missed an eagle putt by an inch or so on 18 that would have tied it. He settled for a birdie and the runner-up spot.
Paolucci, the 2010 AJGA Rolex Player of the Year, was trying to become the first player to win consecutive titles since Christian's Joel Almquist did it in 1997 and 1998.
