Banned author criticizes decision
Published: Friday, October 17, 2008 at 3:00 p.m.

MATHEWS The author of a book banned from a 10th-grade Lafourche Parish classroom leveled sharp criticism at school officials Thursday, calling the decision foolish.
Mark Bowden wrote Black Hawk Down, the book Central Lafourche High School English teacher Jared Foreman assigned to students as a reading lesson.
A parent objected to profanity in the book, which chronicles a failed 1993 U.S. military mission in Somalia. Principal Jimmy Ledet agreed that vulgarity in the book was over the top and ordered it removed from Foremans curriculum. After students copies were handed in, the teacher led them to the American flag on campus to sing the Star-spangled banner.
The book was banned from the class Oct. 3, the 15th anniversary of the doomed Mogadishu mission that is the subject of the work, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and a National Book Award finalist.
I think it has very little effect, and it makes the principal and the district look foolish, Bowden said in a phone interview. I think they should reconsider.
Attempts to reach the schools principal and the school district spokesman Thursday night were not successful.
Bowden, 57, was a reporter for 24 years at The Philadelphia Inquirer, where he wrote a series of stories about the battle chronicled in the book. When Bowden composed the book, he said he did not imagine any school would ever ban the work.
Censorship like this always backfires, said Bowden, adding the ban almost guarantees every high-school student in the district will eventually read Black Hawk Down.
Bowden, who learned of the ban through a newspaper article forwarded by a friend, said he does not consider the material racy or out-of-step with media standards.
I think anyone who does regard it as inappropriate is solidly out of touch with mainstream American culture, said Bowden, adding that the majority of profane words used are in the dialogue and come from transcripts of audio recordings during battle in moments of extreme stress.
My job is to tell the story accurately, and anyone who thinks soldiers dont swear under fire is living in kindergarten land, said Bowden, who claims removing what he sees as a moderate number of vulgar words would have made the story unrealistic.
His goal as a writer, Bowden said, is to tell a true story detailing what happened to the soldiers and make it read like a novel. Bowden said people are attracted to the story because of the realism, including youngsters who told him the book was the first one they ever read in its entirety.
The book, and a movie it inspired directed by Ridley Scott, is about an attempt by U.S. forces to capture Somali combat leaders from a well-populated Mogadishu neighborhood. Out of 120 U.S. soldiers whose helicopters were shot down during the raid, 18 were killed and 73 wounded.
Parents cant shelter them from the realities of life, he said of students, adding parents will be disappointed if the aim is their children from exposure. It is a bad goal, and it will fail.
Bowden said he was flattered that Foreman chose his book and flattered as well to join the ranks of writers whose books have been banned.
It may be the only time Im on the same list with Mark Twain, Bowden said.
Encouraging students to read, a goal brought on by concern over low standardized-test scores, is the reason he chose the book, Foreman said.
Blaine Degruise, secondary school instructor for Lafourche Parish School Board, has said the book was justly pulled from the class. However, he also described Foreman as a great teacher who could use any book to captivate students.
Bowden likened the Lafourche Parish book-approval requirements to Catholic Church imprimatur or a seal of approval during the 16th or 17th centuries. That was a period when the church controlled the printing and authors books had to meet the imprimatur before they were published.
I think it is a narrow view of education, Bowden said. I think they should be happy kids are reading, period.

East Africa (EA) has witnessed pivotal steps in the history of human evolution. Due to its high environmental and cultural variability, and to the long-term human presence there, the genetic structure of modern EA populations is one of the most complicated puzzles in human diversity worldwide. Similarly, the widespread Afro-Asiatic (AA) linguistic phylum reaches its highest levels of internal differentiation in EA. To disentangle this complex ethno-linguistic pattern, we studied mtDNA variability in 1,671 individuals (452 of which were newly typed) from 30 EA populations and compared our data with those from 40 populations (2970 individuals) from Central and Northern Africa and the Levant, affiliated to the AA phylum. The genetic structure of the studied populations—explored using spatial Principal Component Analysis and Model-based clustering—turned out to be composed of four clusters, each with different geographic distribution and/or linguistic affiliation, and signaling different population events in the history of the region. One cluster is widespread in Ethiopia, where it is associated with different AA-speaking populations, and shows shared ancestry with Semitic-speaking groups from Yemen and Egypt and AA-Chadic-speaking groups from Central Africa. Two clusters included populations from Southern Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania. Despite high and recent gene-flow (Bantu, Nilo-Saharan pastoralists), one of them is associated with a more ancient AA-Cushitic stratum. Most North-African and Levantine populations (AA-Berber, AA-Semitic) were grouped in a fourth and more differentiated cluster. We therefore conclude that EA genetic variability, although heavily influenced by migration processes, conserves traces of more ancient strata.

Spring surprise?
Their idea of a social contract is 'you're on your own while we grab everything we can'.
"promote the general welfare", hmm, those framers of the Constitution were silly enough to think there was a "social contract".
pro·mote [pruh-moht] 1. to help or encourage to exist or flourish; further:
Not to force, dictate, regulate, legislate or propagate but to encourage.
gen·er·al [jen-er-uhl] adjective
1.of or pertaining to all persons…..
ALL is the pertinent word. We are not to formulate policy trying to help just the poor, the uninsured, the lower class, the children, the gays, the Christians, the females, blacks, whites, dogs, cats……etc. Placing impositions on one person to benefit another is unconstitutional. It's robbing Peter to pay Paul. No one benefits because it is not generally beneficial. The Govn. must not implement policy that does not benefit ALL.
wel·fare [wel-fair] noun
1.the good fortune, health, happiness, prosperity, etc., of a person, group, or organization; well-being:
Nothing about the Progressive agenda has this definition as it's goal. Nothing being done in Washington will ever achieve these standards.
^Okay, if you wanna' get "picky", those same founding fathers actually considered "all" to mean white male property owners. Hmm, can anyone say "Koch brothers"??
^Almost as easily as Tony Rezko>
"We the People" only counted white, male property owners of the USA. Not women, men of other colors, Indians, any one else a slave or free but not of "The People" of that time. A fact that has since changed.
Churchie, I think you're confusing that story with the "commerce clause".

I love words—the way they sound, the way they work together to convey ideas, the challenge of finding just the right one to express a thought. I have been working with words since 1989, first as an English teacher and now as an editor and writer.
My editing specialty is nonfiction—biography/memoir, education, how-to, self-help, and young adult in particular. I love helping writers produce books they're proud of. To this end, I offer stylistic and mechanical editing to improve readability, fix mistakes, and ensure clarity. Since 2006, I have worked on 175+ projects for independent authors, traditional publishers, and editing services companies all over the United States.
My writing focus is educational nonfiction for children and young adults. Among my published books are biographies on Malcolm X and Pocahontas, an award-winning book on economies around the world, and a 356-page informational text for high school athletes.
Update: Sports: The Ultimate Teen Guide is now available in paperback! VOYA describes it as "an easy-to-read, approachable book about sports and why they matter for high school students." Click here to check out the book and reader reviews on Amazon.

Adventure Awaits You at Pismo Preserve
Recently, trail building has begun on the Pismo Preserve and currently, our professional crew and volunteers have completed almost half of the 11-mile trail system.This project will be challenging but rewarding, creating a system of trails to engage our community for years to come.
Working in conjunction with Central Coast Concerned Mountain Bikers, The San Luis Obispo Parks, Open Space and Trails Foundation, Becker Landscaping, and Drew Perkins of Mountain bikers of Santa Cruz, The Pismo Preserve is a phenomenal opportunity for you to be involved in the construction of an entire new trail system.
We need enthusiastic volunteers to work directly with the mechanical crews, crews to follow up with fine finish work after the heavy lifting is done, as well as individuals to support the build crews. There is opportunity for volunteers of all skill levels to be involved with this project, but we are especially looking for some dedicated builders to invest multiple days with the mechanical build crews.
Please visit the Pismo Preserve Trail Building website at www.pismopreservetrailproject.org for more information regarding volunteer sign-up, the Pismo Preserve, our local organizations, and your opportunity to be a part of this amazing project. You will find the full range of opportunities on the website as well as a map of the proposed trails, pictures of the ongoing construction and progress updates.
Back on September 2014, The Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County closed escrow and taken ownership of the Pismo Preserve. In addition to raising an unprecedented $12.3 million in just over six months to purchase the property and make initial site improvements, The Land Conservancy has finalized all the paperwork and legal agreements required to permanently conserve the property for community benefit.
Eight million of the conservation funding was provided by the State Coastal Conservancy and the Wildlife Conservation Board, $3 million came from local and regional government agencies, and the remaining $1.3 million was donated by the community. This broad-reaching financial support exemplifies the many diverse yet interconnected ways that land conservation benefits a community.
The Land Conservancy is currently working with the Wallace Group to design, engineer, and permit two staging areas/parking lots, restroom facilities, picnic areas, and ADA-compliant site features. Over the next nine months, the organization hopes to gain approval from the County of San Luis Obispo and the Coastal Commission for its proposed site improvements. During this time, The Land Conservancy also plans to engage the community in a series of stakeholder workshops to make sure that people can voice their concerns and opinions before the Preserve is open to the public.
Already underway are rough designs for a multi-use trail system that would add nearly a dozen miles of new trails and linkages to the existing ten miles of ranch roads currently on the Pismo Preserve. Much of the trail work will be completed by local volunteers including leadership from local equestrian groups and the Central Coast Concerned Mountain Bikers (CCCMB) – all of which have extensive hands-on experience with trail building and maintenance.
The Land Conservancy anticipates construction of the parking lots and staging areas to begin by late summer 2015 or early winter in 2016. If permitting and construction can be completed under this ambitious time frame, the Pismo Preserve would be open for dawn-to-dusk community use this time next year. There is currently no public access allowed on the property because certain amenities must be constructed to support public use before opening, but community members can gain exclusive access by volunteering or attending a stakeholder workshop.
The Pismo Preserve is located just northeast of the incorporated City of Pismo Beach, in San Luis Obispo County. The property is highly visible and easily accessible from scenic Highway 101 and Price Canyon Road. This is private property with no trespassing until the Preserve is open to the public.
At over 900 acres, the Pismo Preserve offers truly exceptional and diverse recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors will enjoy over 10 miles of existing ranch roads and trails that meander throughout the property offering ready-to-use routes ideal for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. These trails traverse serene oak woodlands and coastal ridgelines with stunning panoramic vistas of the Pacific Ocean stretching from the Irish Hills to Point Sal.
Located just off California's scenic Highway 101, existing access off Mattie Road provides an ideal location to establish visitor parking with ample room for horse trailers. Additionally, trails on the Pismo Preserve will provide connections to and from several major hiking and biking trails.
In addition to myriad recreational opportunities, the picturesque Pismo Preserve boasts a diverse array of plant communities. The western edge of the ranch is composed of rolling annual grasslands and coastal scrub. These communities give way to maritime chaparral along the southern slopes, while dense coast live oak woodlands cover the steep canyons and north facing hillsides. Majestic sycamore and willow riparian corridors wind through lowlands and a wide floodplain along Thousand Hills Road and Price Canyon.
Streams that flow through the preserve, including Pismo Creek, provide natural habitats that are vital for the protection of sensitive species. Federally threatened South-Central California Coast Steelhead, federally endangered California red-legged frog, and numerous species of concern including the southwestern pond turtle, have all been identified on the preserve.
The acquisition of Pismo Preserve will allow The Land Conservancy to protect and enhance these natural resources through conservation and restoration efforts which ensures refuge for sensitive species such as these, far into the future.
The Pismo Preserve has been purchased, but we will continue to raise funds for future phases towards the Preserve as well as other projects like this that will permanently conserve the natural resources on the property and will significantly reduce current and future development thereby preserving the natural and rural character of the Central Coast. Connecting the community to disappearing places like this also provides exciting opportunities for education and interpretation.
You can make a donation here or mail in your donation to us at LCSLO, PO Box 12206, San Luis Obispo, CA 93406.
For volunteer opportunities and updates, sign up for The Land Conservancy's e-newsletter here or follow us on Facebook.

Eye Conditions
Eye conditions that can lead to permanent visual impairment or blindness—including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma—are serious public health problems. Researchers are working to find better ways to prevent and treat these conditions, including the use of dietary supplements.
Bottom Line: Supplements containing antioxidants and zinc have been shown to reduce the likelihood that AMD will progress to the advanced stage in people who already have the intermediate stage of this disease. However, no dietary supplements have been shown to help prevent or treat cataracts, glaucoma, or diabetic retinopathy.
- Don't replace scientifically proven medical treatments for an eye condition with dietary supplements that are unproven. To preserve your vision, it is very important to follow the prescribed treatment for your eye condition.
- "Natural" does not necessarily mean "safe." Learn more about the safety of dietary supplements.
For more information on eye health, visit the National Eye Institute (NEI) Web site.

The 2015-16 basketball season is over for local teams and it's time to look back on the teams' performances.
Wildcats make it to regional tournament
The Henry County Wildcats came into the season with a lot of question marks. Would young, inexperienced guards be ready for prime time? Could Ethan Tuggle return to form in his senior season after sitting out his junior year while going through two back surgeries? Can height and athleticism overcome a lack of perimeter offense?
There is only one reason Damion Lee and Trey Lewis came to the University of Louisville to work on their postgraduate degrees and that is for the chance to play for a team that is almost always a lock to make the NCAA tournament.
There is only one reason the University of Louisville's Rick Pitino would want a couple of guaranteed one and done players and that is as a stop gap to keep his team going to the postseason as usual until more reinforcements arrive next year.
It is time for our annual Henry Hoopla NCAA bracket contest.
This year we will use espn.com's Tournament Challenge to register online if you would like to enter your picks directly.
But fear not, if you wish to make your picks on paper, we will still have brackets available in the March 16 issue of the newspaper or you can still pick up a copy of the brackets at our office after the field has been set on March 13.
The Henry County Wildcats opened 31st district play Feb. 24 against the Carroll County Panthers at Gallatin County High School with a chance to play in the 8th Region tournament on the line. The teams split their two regular season contests with each winning on the opponents' home court.
Most district fans saw the game as a toss up and it looked that way for most of the first half with Henry County holding a small lead most of the way. But the Wildcats poured it on in the second half and pulled away for a 74-54 win.
The Henry County Lady Cats faced the Eminence Warriors Feb. 22 in the first round of the district tournament. The winner would gain the right to move on and take on the top seeded Owen County Lady Rebels the following night in the semifinals.
Eminence took the lead on a put back by Madison Dockter 56 seconds into the game.
Consecutive mid-range jumpers by Maddie Hensley gave Henry County their first lead with 6:03 to go in the first period.
The Eminence Warriors had a tall task ahead of them if they wanted to qualify for the Eighth Region tournament this season.
They had to beat Gallatin County in the first round of the 31st District tournament on the Wildcats' home floor, and then knock off Eighth Region favorite Owen County. For a while it looked like they might just get their chance at the mighty Rebels as they led several times in the second half against the host Wildcats.
Henry County Wildcat wide receiver/defensive back Cameron Johnson signed a letter of intent Friday in the Henry County High School Library to play football for the Georgetown College Tigers next fall.
Johnson was a member of the all-district football team and played in the Kentucky-Tennessee Border Bowl all-star game this past season.
Johnson considered playing for several colleges including Eastern Kentucky, Morehead, Lindsey Wilson, The Cumberlands and Georgetown.
As the Lady Cats' last game of the season wound down and the outcome became apparent, HCHS Coach Todd Gilley emptied his bench and the Lady Cats, one by one, came to the bench visibly upset that they were not able to give their coach one more win. Gilley shared a hug and a quiet word with each player as they sat on the sidelines awaiting the final buzzer.
The Eminence Warriors girls basketball team has not won more than seven games in a season since 1993 when they won the 30th district championship behind the outstanding play of Chrissy Roberts, the best female player in Warrior basketball history.
This year's team managed 11 wins with a team consisting mostly of freshmen.
In EHS Coach Zach Adiar's first season, the team won two games. Last year they won seven games. EHS athletic director Chris Nethery said this of the job Adiar has done:
It is almost time for our annual Henry Hoopla NCAA bracket contest.

The more I think about it, the more I'm all for the NBA selling sponsorships of NBA uniforms.
My main thought: It's something that could bring in big dollars, while the cost -- a little visual distraction -- is minimal. This is perfect compromise for these hard times.
First, a little background. Last week I wrote a bullet about it, and got a lot of smart people thinking I had a screw loose:
The NBA has been against sponsor logos on uniforms. But I don't know why. There is paid logo placement in every single nook and cranny of NBA basketball. I know the NBA isn't against corporate sponsorship, right? (They're already getting big cash to have that adidas logo on the uniforms.) My main thought is: If having it say "Rock Financial" or something across the front of the Pistons jersey increases a regular working family's ability to afford tickets ... what are we waiting for?
The small issue, I didn't expect: TrueHoop reader Doug rightly pointed out that the adidas logo is not visible on NBA game uniforms. True enough! (But if you shop for your own NBA uniform, you'll almost certainly see it there.)
The big issue, I did expect: All kinds of economic brains assaulted my notion that new sponsor money would keep owners from charging as much as the market would bear for every seat in the building. On what grounds could I predict uniform logos would somehow make games more affordable?
In general, this argument is dead right. In the broadest strokes, any business would be smart to charge something close to what the market will bear, as opposed to what they need to charge to make money. If somebody will pay $80 for a decent seat at a Pistons game, why would the Pistons ever consider selling that seat for $40?
Extra income wouldn't change that. Surely.
That is the general outline of the market.
But there are nooks and crannies where things are different, and I'm totally convinced that the powers that be care about getting at least some regular working people into the arena, one way or another.
Exhibit A is the NBA's mandate that every team have $10 tickets to every regular season road game.
There is no exhibit B. But there are two more theories:
NBA profits rely in a major way on taxpayer supported stadiums. If only the 20,000 richest people in town get into games, what kind of voter support can an owner expect for your next stadium referendum? Much better, surely, to set prices in a way that encourages millions of people to see a game now and again and feel connected to the team.
There's an experiment going on, right now: What happens to an American professional sports league long-term when a generation of children don't go to their games? Some percentage of the NBA's most ardent fans today grew up seeing games in person back when the shorts were tighter and the tickets were cheaper. With more and more tickets priced for corporate wining and dining, and late start times, it seems to be there are not nearly as many children growing up in the habit of buying NBA tickets. In the very long term -- decades -- will those kids (who are presumably using the time growing passionate about other things) become NBA season ticket buyers? Maybe.
Somebody at the NBA did the hard work of making $10 tickets a reality. Somebody feels some urge to give up some short-term cash in favor of the long-term benefits that come with some affordable tickets. "What the market will bear" is not the only pricing force at work.
The "keep some tickets cheap" camp, however, is surely in hard times in fiscal crisis. Let's pretend I'm a team owner, and we're losing lots of money paying salaries that we agreed to back when the economy was good and we used to sell more tickets.
At some point I'm going to be in a meeting where somebody will say something like "don't forget, many people think there could be long-term problems if all the tickets are too expensive, we should cut some prices well below even what this bad market will bear."
Meanwhile, the whole organization is starved for cash.
This is kind of like being in an ambulance, with the sirens wailing, and having someone say "don't forget, the ambulance is more fuel efficient at around 35 miles an hour."
In either case, the speaker is raising a long-term concern in the face of a short-term crisis. Real though the concern may be, considering it right now is a luxury a reasonable person would not afford.
Reportedly half of the NBA's teams lost money last year. In that environment, there are real hard-and-fast limits on how much anyone can ask owners to invest in long-term goals like the economic diversification of the in-arena audience.
There's precious little anyone could do to make most owners relax about the short-term outlook for their teams. But giving them a new and meaningful revenue stream would be a powerful step in the right direction.
Uniform placement would get a sponsor into every sports section and highlight reel every day. It's a mammoth opportunity, perhaps the most valuable thing that could be sponsored in the NBA. The income to the teams would be non-trivial.
A new influx of cash may not lead to any more cheap seats. But it could not hurt, and if there is still the will around the NBA to get many different people into games, found money is probably the surely the biggest obstacle to overcome. This would give more owners more leeway to consider the concerns of the "let's figure out this long-term issue" crowd.
Or, to put it another way: The better teams are doing financially, the less they are forced to milk every dollar from every ticket. Doesn't mean they will make tickets cheaper than they have to, but they definitely won't in financial crisis.
The new income from uniform sponsorship might mean some more cheap tickets. That's reason enough to try, especially with a cost so small.
In the bigger picture, and I know not everyone agrees with me here, a logo on a uniform just isn't a big deal. Plenty of sports the world over (most notably soccer, but also everything from surfing to cycling) have proven it can work. If it can bring in real money, how can the league not consider it? If teams are really in dire straits, and the economy is going to be slow in reheating, what is so great about logo-free uniforms?
Talk about a luxury we can't afford.

From the book jacket: The winds of change are raging in 1960s California. Orange groves uprooted for tract houses, people flooding into Orange County, strange new ideas in the air about war, music, sex, and drugs, and new influences, ranging from Richard Nixon to Timothy Leary. For the Becker brothers, however, the past is always present - and it comes crashing back full force when the body of the lovely and mysterious Janelle Vonn is discovered in an abandoned orange-packing plant. The Beckers and the Vonns have a history, beginning years ago in high school with a rumble between the brothers of each clan. But boys grow up. Now one Becker brother is a cop on his first homicide case. One's a minister yearning to perform just one miracle. One is a reporter drunk with ambition. And all three are about to collide with the changing world of 1968 as each brother, in ...

A PARK8 form of Parkinson's disease (PD) is caused by a novel gene, leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), and a single mutation G2019S was found in a proportion of LRRK2-associated cases of diverse ethnic origins. We performed the LRRK2 G2019S mutation analysis in 304 Russian patients with PD, including 291 sporadic and 13 autosomal dominant cases. The frequency of the LRRK2 G2019S was 0.7% amongst the sporadic patients (2/291) and 7.7% amongst familial PD (1/13). The mutation was also found in three unaffected relatives and absent in 700 control chromosomes. One patient carrying the LRRK2 G2019S was found earlier to have an additional mutation, a heterozygous duplication of exon 5 of the parkin gene. All patients carrying the LRRK2 G2019S exhibited typical levodopa-responsive parkinsonism, and severe levodopa-induced dyskinesia was observed in the patient carrying the LRRK2 and parkin mutations. There was notable variability in ages of the disease onset in G2019S carriers not explained by APOE genotypes. Two subsets of G2019S-positive patients had different PARK8 haplotypes suggesting that the LRRK2 G2019S in Russian patients had arisen independently on different chromosomes. Identification of common LRRK2 mutations in some PD patients without an overt family history has notable implications for genetic counseling.

Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 (28 ounce) cans san marzano tomatoes (whole and peeled)
- 1 large white onion (sliced thinly)
- 8 garlic cloves (peeled and smashed)

Posted by a Divorce client
She did not inform me about my right for temporary support and let me spend down my community assets during a period of more than a year. She was inaccessible and did not make me feel like my case was a priority. Her advice seemed to center around, "Sell your home, find another place to live and start a new life."
Posted by a Family client
Divorce is emotionally difficult when children are involved and financially difficult when holdings in companies are involved. Working out a compromise to settle equitably but without rancor is a touch balance. Michele understood the nuances and sensitivities involved and worked through the alternatives with empathy and understanding, using some help from colleagues in the complex business matters. Strong positive recommendation to guide and support with empathy through a draining experience.

Michelle Bissada is a highly knowledgeable, skilled attorney that is trustworthy and highly dependable. Michelle represented me in a dissolution that spanned two years due to changing circumstances. Michelle remained focused on ensuring that my best interests were represented each time the situation changed. Michelle is highly strategic, efficient and compassionate. She is a creative problem solver who is highly dedicated to her clients well being. I highly recommend her without reservation.

I highly recommend Michele Bissada if you are searching for a family law attorney. Divorce is never an easy thing to go through, but Michele made the process as bearable as it could be. She is highly knowledgeable in all areas dealing with the divorce process. She always had thorough answer fors my endless questions, very up to date with past and current law. Had good ideas for complicated matters such as dividing partnership interests, vesting issues, etc. I always felt that she had my best interests at hand and was sensitive to all parties, but would go to the mat for me, if required. She was very responsive to both my phone calls and emails, as were her very competent staff and associates. I would not hesitate to recommend Michele very highly to any of my family or friends.
Posted by a Family client
I have been a client of Michele Bissada for the past eight years. I have gone to her on several matters that ranged from real estate to family matters. She has always provided me with the help and advice that I needed in a friendly, responsive and competent manner. She is a great attorney, but equally important, she is a nice person. I am pleased to have her for my attorney.
