text: Wiggs Lab Genetic Factors in Glaucoma Janey L. Wiggs, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor of Ophthalmology firstname.lastname@example.com Research Content: The Wiggs laboratory works on the identification of genetic factors that predispose to both mendelian and complex forms glaucoma. The identification of genes that can cause glaucoma will provide critical information regarding the biology of the disease as well as provide the basis for accurate methods of diagnosis and new and specific therapies. Current investigations are focused on the genetic etiologies of adult onset primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, pigment dispersion syndrome and pigmentary glaucoma, glaucoma associated with Rieger syndrome and other anterior segment dysgenesis syndromes and juvenile open angle glaucoma. As part of these studies the laboratory has developed a registry of over 2,000 early and adult onset glaucoma patients. Dr. Wiggs has been continuously funded from the National Eye Institute for over 15 years. In addition to current R01 and R21 funding, she is a member of the NEI supported eyeGENE genotyping project for inherited ocular diseases.

Lab/Research content: The Wiggs Lab has three main projects supported by the National Eye Institute: Research Project Name: Genetic Etiologies of Glaucoma Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is a significant cause of blindness worldwide. Compelling evidence supports the hypothesis that specific genes influence susceptibility to the disease. We have previously completed a genome wide screen and follow-up studies that have identified two POAG candidate loci with high likelihood of containing POAG susceptibility genes on chromosomes 14 and 15. The major objective of this proposal is to identify the POAG susceptibility gene(s) located within the defined genetic region on chromosome 14 and determine the relationships between specific genetic defects and clinical phenotype. In addition to providing insight into disease related molecular pathology, this information will be the basis of new treatment and diagnostic modalities. To accomplish this overall goal, the size of the minimal genetic interval on chromosome 14 will be reduced by performing linkage analyses on new multiplex families affected with POAG, as well as identifying areas of linkage disequillibrium within the minimal genetic interval using family-based SNP association studies. Known genes and novel gene fragments within the refined minimal genetic interval will be identified using the annotated human genome sequence and will be prioritized for screening using function and expression information from a variety of sources. Identified DNA sequence variants will be examined for biological significance by case/control analyses using a large cohort of POAG cases and age-matched controls. Haplotypes associated with candidate genes will be analyzed using a case/control approach to identify potential regulatory changes that could be missed by sequencing alone. Specific genetic defects will be correlated with clinical phenotype by investigating familial aggregation of clinical parameters and looking for evidence of gene/gene interactions and how these interactions may influence phenotype. Recently in collaboration with Dr. Pasquale we have been awarded funding from the National Institute for Genome Research to carry out a whole genome association study using POAG patients and controls. Research Project Name: Linkage Study of Juvenile Glaucoma The general hypothesis of this research program is that biological mechanisms responsible for different forms of inherited glaucoma represent different processes that culminate in optic nerve degeneration. Elucidating each mechanism will produce a composite picture of the complex pathophysiology of this disease. The primary objective of this proposal is to characterize genetic defects responsible for inherited glaucoma, and to determine the relationships between specific mutations and clinical phenotype. In addition to providing insight into disease related molecular pathology, this information will be the basis of new treatment and diagnostic modalities. Identifying genes and gene projects that contribute to the disease process will be the first step toward the development of novel treatment based on specific disease mechanisms. The correlation of gene defects with clinical phenotypes will provide the fundamental knowledge needed to devise DNA-based diagnostic and prognostic tests. Screening different populations of glaucoma patients will illustrate the range of phenotypic expression of mutant genes and will indicate mutations that may contribute to the pathogenesis of more complex forms of the disease. Previously, a genome wide scan for juvenile open angle glaucoma (JOAG) was completed identifying two new JOAG loci, the genetic interval of the 7q36 PDS locus has been reduced to 5cM, and a second locus for pigment dispersion syndrome has been identified, the genetic interval for the RIEG2 locus has been reduced to 7cM and candidate genes have been identified and screened, and genotype/phenotype studies have been completed on patients with abnormalities in the TIGR/Myocilin gene, the CYP1B1 gene and the RIEG1 gene (PITX2). Current research efforts are to: 1) Refine the newly identified loci for juvenile open angle glaucoma (JOAG) and identify and screen candidate genes. 2) Screen candidate genes located in the pigment dispersion (PDS) regions located on 7q35 and 18q22. 3) Screen candidate genes located in the RIEG2 region on chromosome 13q14. 4) Correlate mutations in genes known to cause glaucoma with clinical phenotypes. Research Project Name: India US Genetic Study of Ocular Quantitative Traits The primary objective of this exploratory grant is to determine the value of consanguineous pedigrees for quantitative trait mapping and to perform initial gene mapping studies for selected quantitative traits that are significant risk factors for common ocular complex disorders such as glaucoma, and macular degeneration. A long-term goal is to use this approach to develop and support a genotype/phenotype database that will enable investigators to discover, assess and validate genes and biomarkers responsible for quantitative traits that contribute to complex human ocular disease. A major motivation for the project is the expectation that the resources obtained will provide new opportunities for the identification of significant risk factors for blinding human disease. In addition to phenotypic and genotypic data, environmental information will be collected to aid studies of gene environment interactions. DNA and plasma from blood samples collected from each study participant will be stored for future genomic, protein and small molecule analysis with the anticipation that this information will lead to the identification of genetic predictors and biomarkers for some complex ocular disorders. The underlying hypothesis of this proposal is that consanguineous pedigrees can provide more information for mapping genes responsible for quantitative traits than families without consanguineous relationships. Preliminary studies have suggested that consanguineous pedigrees of sufficient size and structure will provide more power for quantitative trait mapping than a similarly sized collection of nuclear families. The immediate goals of this pilot project are to use large consanguineous pedigrees for initial analyses to verify their usefulness for quantitative trait mapping, and to examine the inheritance of selected quantitative traits in inbred families. We plan to accomplish the following specific aims: 1) Identify and enroll members from large consanguineous pedigrees living in southern India, 2) Measure selected ocular quantitative traits for all participating individuals, 3) Collect peripheral blood samples on all available family members and prepare DNA and plasma samples, 4) Develop strategies for collecting environmental exposure information on all participating individuals, 5) Perform initial SNP genotyping, and 6) Perform initial mapping of quantitative trait loci.

DUANE HANSON (American, 1925 1996), Security Guard, 1990, autobody filler (fiberglass and polyester resin) polychromed in oil, mixed media, with accessories, 72 x 32 x 15 inches. Loan, courtesy of Mrs. Duane Hanson
Meet the Boca Raton Museum of Arts newest world traveler: Security Guard.
This lifelike sculpture that is normally installed next to the actual security guards office in the museum has traveled all the way to Baden-Baden, Germany. He isnt seeking to claim a new position at the Museum Frieder Burda but rather was loaned to be part of the exhibition Duane Hanson/Gregory Crewdson: Uncanny Realities.
From November 27, 2010 to March 6, 2011, Security Guard will be part of a larger exhibition comprised of 25 Hanson sculptures and 20 Gregory Crewdson large-scale photographs that deal with the human abyss.
In conjunction with the stark, eerie photographs, the Hanson sculptures will create a dialogue about the American middle-to-lower classes and the disappointments of the American dream that are buried within them. Hansons unique ability to capture every imperfection in the sculptures physiognomy adds to the feeling of verité, therefore prompting a feeling of empathy on the part of the viewer.
Other sculptures that appeared in the Boca Raton Museum of Arts exhibition, Duane Hanson: Sculpture and Photographs 1978 1995 are Children Playing Game, Housepainter, and Man on Mower.
Germany isnt the first place that Security Guard has traveled. Hes been no slouch on the sightseeing front. Prior to the Boca Raton Museum of Art's exhibition, he visited the Albright-Knox Gallery of Art in 2004 for Bodily Space: New Obsessions in Figurative Sculpture, and the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pennsylvania from 2006 2007 for Duane Hanson: Real Life.
While Security Guard is in Germany enjoying the culinary delicacies and winter weather, the museum here in Boca will be filling our galleries with costumes from Cosprop, the London-based costumery for film, television, and theatre. CUT! Costume and the Cinema opens on January 18th 2011.

It's a hot new scam: a virus circling the globe that locks up computers and then asks for $200 to fix the problem.
The screen looks official, sporting the FBI logo and stating "This operating system is locked due to a violation of federal laws." Then, frighteningly for the one looking at the screen, goes on to say "You have 72 hours to pay or you will be arrested."
Kathy Neary told sister station KCNC what the experience was like. Her husband was surfing the Web when the computer locked up.
"All of a sudden this screen came up that said your computer is locked, you gotta pay a fine."
Neary immediately went to another computer and did some research, then called Norton Anti-Virus.
The virus has been named Reveton Ransomware because it asks for money, and anyone using the Internet is vulnerable. Surfing online is all it takes to get infected. There's no way of knowing what sites are carrying the virus.
Scammers use the virus in connection with other Malware, meaning that simply unlocking your computer doesn't mean the invasion is over.
"If you restart it and play with it, chances are you're going to receive additional infections which makes it even harder to disinfect," Steve Utke with Surge Computers told KCNC.
Certain types of Malware can capture personal information like user names, passwords and credit card numbers.
Experts say if the virus strikes your computer, don't try to fix it yourself unless you are sure that you can. The more time you spend trying, the more the virus spreads. Repairs are rarely more than $100.
For those who have been infected and want to ensure nothing else is hidden in their computers, free Ware like Malbytes and Easy Clean by F Secure are good options to purchase for multiple computer scans.
The FBI has also issued a warning online, stating that it will never insist that people pay a fine to the FBI to unlock their computers.

First Class Touring
River Cruising
Vacation Packages
Check into your hotel. The rest of the day is free to start exploring Munich. Tonight, meet your Tour Director and fellow travelers.
An interesting itinerary today as you drive northeast for a first stop in Nuremberg, famous for its World War II war crime trials. Later, cross the border into the Czech Republic. On to Prague for the next three nights. (Breakfast)
The city has a wealth of gothic and baroque architecture that perhaps inspired Dvorak and Smetana, both Prague composers. The included guided sightseeing features landmarks such as the Jewish Quarter, Charles Bridge, and the Old Town Square with the Astronomical Clock. Plenty of time for some individual exploring, or maybe just a walk along the banks of the Vltava River and then a meal at a restaurant of your choice. Your second day in Prague will give you a program of optional excursions or, if you prefer, the opportunity for arranging your own day with visits to places of particular personal interest. (Breakfast daily)
Journey southeast by way of Brno into the new state of Slovakia for a stop in its capital, Bratislava. Next, cross into Hungary to reach Budapest in time to enjoy an included delicious dinner in a local restaurant. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Included sightseeing features Buda Castle, which dominates the twin cities of Buda and Pest that are separated by the broad ribbon of the Danube. Also see Heroes' Square, which typifies the modern capital, the old inns and along the riverbank, Parliament, Margaret Island, Fishermen's Bastion and the Royal Castle. There's plenty more to do and see during these two days. Maybe try one of the historic spas! Ask your Tour Director for assistance. (Breakfast daily)
The highlight of today's itinerary will be the Vienna Woods and Mayerling. See the HUNTING LODGE, the scene of the tragic 1889 death of Archduke Rudolf and his 17-year-old lover, Maria Vetsera. Later, a short drive to Vienna for the next three nights. (Breakfast)
Two whole days to fully enjoy one of Europe's best known and loved capitals. Whatever your plans, it is wise to start off with the included city sightseeing tour. See the State Opera, Parliament, and the Town Hall. Stroll in Heroes' Square to view the Hofburg. Splendid baroque palaces and the Viennese traditional joie de vivre give great scope for a program of optional excursions. Your stay is long enough to fit in your personal plans and choices. (Breakfast daily)
Another day with a truly varied itinerary and some interesting options. Drive first to Krems on the banks of the Danube and surrounded by hills and vineyards. Then, something quite different: enjoy a CRUISE on the Danube river, taking in the beautiful Wachau region. Maybe join an optional excursion to visit the abbey at Melk, before continuing the journey westwards directly to Salzburg. Tonight, savor an included traditional dinner in a local restaurant. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Don't miss out on the included city sightseeing excursion of Salzburg with a Local Guide. You'll be taken through the historic center of Mozart's hometown to see its many highlights, including the Domplatz, the Horse Trough, Festival Hall, and, of course, the charming Getreidegasse where Mozart was born. This afternoon, motor directly to Munich. This evening, join the optional Bavarian evening and farewell dinner. (Breakfast)
Your vacation ends with breakfast this morning. (Breakfast)
Learn more about booking an air-inclusive vacation - the reasons why include, you'll receive free airport transfer on published dates and your air will be coordinated with your vacation.

Eminem could have had the lead in the upcoming sci-fi movie "Elysium", but he passed because it couldn't be filmed in Detroit. The director Neill Blomkamp says Eminem wanted to do the movie, but only if it was filmed in his hometown. Since that wasn't possible, Blomkamp went to his next choice, Matt Damon, who took the part. "Elysium" opens August 9th.
Emma Roberts was arrested earlier this month for beating up her boyfriend Evan Peters, but she was released because he didn't want charges pressed. Evan reportedly had been bitten, and also had a bloody nose but sources say both of them were getting physical with each other.

I've probably read the answer to this question somewhere, but I wouldn't know quite where to look for the answer, so I thought it might be easier to ask here, and hopefully someone can answer me at the drop of a hat.
Obviously the physical body constitutes rupa, but what about physical pain arising from rupa? How is that classified in the Abhidhamma? Is it rupa too, or is it nama?

Turn some heads this Halloween with this Inflatable Doll Costume for Men. Included are a mask and body suit. The mask, which covers the entire face except the mouth and chin, is humorous and creepy at the same time. It has painted-on black hair, wide eyes, painted on moustache and a wide mouth opening. Designed with Caucasian-skin color fabric, the body suit covers all the torso, arms and legs. On the tummy is a plastic embellishment that looks like an inflate valve. While not an appropriate getup for an office party or children's event, it can bring many laughs to an adult only party. One size fits most men with up to a 42 inch-chest. Love dolls have been sold for more than 100 years. The first known record of these manufactured playthings was in 1908. By the 1980s, they were made of vinyl, latex and/or silicone and had a greater look of realism.

In the foreword to the Summary of the 2011 Human Development Report, United Nations Development Programme Administrator warns that the remarkable progress registered in human development over recent decades cannot continue without bold global steps to reduce both environmental risks and inequality.
She says millions of disadvantaged people the world over are doubly deprived in that they are more susceptible to the wider effects of environmental degradation and must also deal with threats to their immediate environment from indoor air pollution, dirty water and unimproved sanitation.
The UNDP chief was commenting on the global picture, and her remarks will not necessarily reflect the situation on the ground in specific countries or communities. Thus, she may have sounded overly optimistic if specific cases in point in some countries were to be analysed more seriously than actually happened – and vice versa for others.
In Tanzania, for instances, there are areas where the threats of desertification and depletion of marine and other natural resources have manifested themselves for decades on end but little has been done to arrest the problems by containing dangerous practices such as overgrazing, overfishing and opposition to the use of environment-friendly farming, animal husbandry and fishing.
Evidence of this abounds across the country. For example, once upon a time the entire Lake Victoria zone once boasted massive tracts of arable land where cash and food crops ranging from cotton and maize to coffee, tubers, bananas, groundnuts, sorghum, millet and sesame used to – or could – thrive.
However, recent decades have witnessed a completely different picture: most land has been so over-farmed and otherwise misused that it has generated into barren soil unfit for crop use. Lake Victoria is meanwhile grappling with alarmingly high levels of environmental pollution as well as problems such as dynamite fishing, receding water levels resulting partly from poor upland farming methods.
Official efforts to popularise the use of more appropriate farm and fishing tools have not come to much use, the major reasons including public reluctance to accept change and the fact of the expertise and tools or technology that would have helping in making that change possible being either not accessible or not affordable.
The number of extension staff may have grown appreciably over the years, but there is still a massive shortage, while few farmers, pastoralists and people engaged in small-time fishing can afford the improved gear they would need to improve or expand their businesses.
True, much has been made to help these businesses grow and contribute more to the economy at the household and other levels. However, substantial parts of the people's produce – be it fish catches, cash and food crops including highly perishable ones such as fruits – rotting away at source just because there is no ready market for them.
The national agricultural initiative popularly known as Kilimo Kwanza could improve things substantially but, as recently witnessed, the prices of essential implements and inputs could easily stand as a serious impediment.
Improving the lot of the citizenry is a very tall order, and agencies like UNDP will have to continue supporting national development initiatives if meaningful progress is to be realised.

I ran all the way here to rep you instead Max Something a little different from your usual work. I quite like the detail of the town/city in the top right.
Hi everyone,
Here is one of my latest personal work, the map of Vardenia and Urenia and the map of the city of Septentia. On this one, I wanted to map fictional regions trying to recreate (as best as I can) something close to late 16th century old maps style, with its flaws, its inconsistencies and typographical approximations and specifical geographic elements. I also wanted to add a map of small city in a bird's eye style, widely used in the style of that time (although usually separated from regional or continental maps). I used an odd combination of (approximate) latin and some "fake" language close to italian and a bit of spanish to label it. Anyway it was quite fun to do and I hope you'll like it!
The WIP thread is here. Thanks to all who supported it
The original map size is 16x11" and all the elements of the map were digitally hand-drawn and colored in photoshop.
As usual, feel free to rate, rep or run away

Beautiful map. The city is my favourite part. Out of interest, where is Urenia in relation to Vardenia?
Magnificent! Seriously beautiful. I love the labelling hierarchy and spacing - great 16/17 century reproduction.
How you are able to produce such amazingly polished work at lighting speed is beyond me Max. My hat is off to you.
Excellent map!
Wow just wow. That is one of your best maps Max, really love the map of the city. Can't rep you though

And I like the work on names too, btw.
The overall composition is very nice! Another beautiful piece.
I don't really like the map style per se, but i still can appreciate the art itself Btw, i wish you'd evolve such a style one of these times instead of just copying it. Maybe as a next personal-project?

News Analysis
By Lissa Jones
Contributing Writer
Proposals are currently under consideration to significantly increase emissions from Minneapolis polluters that have a disproportionate impact on low-income communities of color such as those in Phillips and on the North Side. On April 3, several community organizations sponsored a "Reality Check" on air and water pollution at Kwanzaa Community Church to discuss the potential impact of the proposed increases on the health of these neighborhoods and the people who live there. The event flyer invited the community to "hear about the status of Northern Metals and HERC (the garbage burner) in North Minneapolis and how their emissions may impact your health." About 25 people were in attendance, including State Representatives Karen Clark and Joe Mullery, as the panel presented their findings and concerns to the group.
The panelists were Jeff Skrenes of the Hawthorne Community Council; Lea Foushee, environmental justice director with the North American Water Office, a nonprofit organization chartered in 1982 to educate people about solutions to environmental problems; Lara Norkus-Crampton, a nurse, garbage burner activist, and former planning commissioner for the City of Minneapolis; and Beverly Propes, a public health nurse. Their presentations covered the status of the legal work on Northern Metals; examined the correlation between the pollution emissions and health outcomes for children attending school in the affected neighborhoods; reviewed studies from across the world detailing the health effects of pollution emissions on communities with incinerators; and looking at alternative solutions through the lens of a community organizer.

quote:had a lot more potential.
So my son visits an ENT, gets 4 nurses pregnant
then, why aren't you arguing for measures to control the cost instead of a complete overhaul of the system? You are stating one thing as the problem, and then fixing something different.
hypothetical comparison: the auto industry has gone outrageous in the cost for automobiles. It is ridiculous that it costs $40,000 for a nice SUV that has 3 rows. So, to fix this you think the government should completely take over the car industry. Kill private companies and private jobs. Take more tax money and create more government positions. All because prices are too high.
That makes no sense.
So my son visits an ENT, gets $450 bill for 5 mins.
I'm hardly an ObamaCare fan but somewhere this crap has to stop.
Obamacare is going to do nothing to lower the overall cost
So, what is your understanding of what ObamaCare will do to rectify this particular issue?

Biopharmaceutical Sector
The Biopharmaceutical Industry: Creating Research, Progress and Hope
America's biopharmaceutical industry is the global leader in medical innovation, with more than 500 new medicines approved by the Food and Drug Administration since 2000.
In 2014, PhRMA member companies invested $51.2 billion in research in development of new medicines and over half a trillion dollars since 2000.
The biopharmaceutical pipeline has over 7,000 new medicines currently in development around the world. According to another data source, approximately 3,500 compounds are currently being studied in the United States—more than in any other region around the world.
Creating Jobs Across America
The impact of the biopharmaceutical sector is evident not only in treatment savings but also in economic activity.
- More than 810,000 people work in the biopharmaceutical industry in the United States, and
- The industry supports a total of nearly 3.4 million jobs across the economy, including jobs directly in biopharmaceutical companies, jobs with vendor companies in the broad biopharmaceutical supply chain, and jobs created by the economic activity of the biopharmaceutical industry workforce.
The biopharmaceutical sector is one of the most R&D-intensive in the United States, with companies investing more than 10 times the amount of R&D per employee than all manufacturing industries overall.

MFN researcher wins Spanish paleontology award
Dr. Heinrich Mallison, research assistant and dinosaur investigator, receives this year's Award for Paleontological Research (Paleonturology 11)
The Spanish Fundación Conjunto Paleontológico de Teruel-Dinópolis has bestowed this year's Award for Paleontological Research on MFN employee Dr. Heinrich Mallison. The vertebrate paleontologist won the award endowed with 4500 EUR for his 2010 research article "The digital Plateosaurus II: An assessment of the range of motion of the limbs and vertebral column and of previous reconstructions using a digital skeletal mount", published in Acta Palaeontologica Polonica. The jury lauded especially the critical analysis of previous reconstructions of the dinosaur Plateosaurus from Southern Germany, and the detailed illustrations. The Paleonturology Award was granted for the ninth time this year. The bestowal is linked to the condition that the awardee writes a version of the prize-winning publication for laypeople, which will be published by the foundation.

Portland Mayor Michael Brennan is asking Maine Attorney General Janet Mills to suspend contract negotiations with the Baxter Academy for Technology and Science while a formal review is conducted. The Portland-based charter school - due to open its doors this fall - hit the headlines earlier this month when the board of directors fired the school's founder and chief executive, John Jaques amid allegations of financial mismanagement. Jaques, meanwhile, claims he was ousted because one of the school's major donors requested it. Charter schools are publicly-financed but run independently of the public school system. Supporters say charter schools aim to offer students more flexibility. Maine Things Considered host Tom Porter spoke with Mayor Brennan - a strong opponent of charter schools. Brennan says he wants the AG to review several aspects of the Baxter Academy situation.

Jana Lapoint, chair of the Maine Charter School Commission, expressed disappointment that Mayor Brennan didn't contact them directly before writing to the AG. "We would have given him any answers he would care to have," she says. "Also all our files are open, he could have read anything he needed to, so I'm disappointed he didn't choose to call us directly."
Lapoint says Baxter Academy's application for a charter is being reviewed by the commission at a hearing on Monday.

The Mexikanemi, or Texas Mafia, gang is a major player connected to the Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs). In Part One of this series Fairly Civil gave an overview of this gang. Part Two dug more into the gang's ruthless violence, quoted its astonishing constitution — which commits the enterprise to "every thing[sic]…criminally imaginable" — and provided an example of the application of Mexikanemi "constitutional law" in a vile intra-gang prison murder.
This final part will examine a bit more of the gang's organization, its role in the illicit drug trade, and the willingness of its gangsters, like most gangsters everywhere, to "flip" and become cooperators when it's a choice between their ass and those of their carnales' ("brothers'").
"Tom Diaz has worn out some shoe leather—much like a good detective—in gathering facts, not myths or urban legend. "
—Chris Swecker, Former Assistant Director of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division.
"Few people know more about the subject than Tom Diaz and no single book tells the whole story better than No Boundaries. If you really want to know what organized crime in America looks like today, then read this alarming book."
—Rocky Delgadillo, former City Attorney of Los Angeles
Order No Boundaries from Amazon.com
Today's text begins with excerpts from the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) indictment in United States v. Jacinto Navajar (United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, docket no. SA08CR047XR, filed January 29, 2008).
The indictment first summarizes what makes the Texas Mafia a criminal enterprise, and thus subject to RICO's harsh reach. (The indictment uses the past tense throughout, I suppose because the crimes alleged were in the past. This style is a bit annoying, because everything alleged continues today, but we'll go with the exact quotes for the record):
The Texas Mexican Mafia was an organization which was self-dedicated to organized criminal conduct in the principal forms of extortion, drug trafficking, robbery, assault, and murder. The Texas Mexican Mafia, including its leadership, membership, and associates, constituted an "enterprise" as that term is defined in Title 18, United States Code, Section 1961 (4), that is, a group of individuals associated in fact.
Not just a bunch of guys hanging out, but an organized criminal group doing bad things as its essence. Next, the indictment provides a capsule history of Mexikanemi's formation and growth:
The Texas Mexican Mafia was formed in the early 1980's by inmates incarcerated in the Texas state prison system. Its original members banded together behind bars to protect one another from violence from incarcerated non-members and to engage more effectively in organized criminal activity. This criminal activity included drug trafficking in the prison system, assaults on fellow inmates, and extortion. The original members were largely from San Antonio, Texas and at some point the Texas Mexican Mafia drafted a "constitution" and declared San Antonio its "capital." As its membership grew and individual members were released from prison, most of them settled in San Antonio, where they resumed their criminal conduct…The Texas Mexican Mafia maintained chapters in most of the large cities in Texas but San Antonio was by far the largest and most active chapter and its members who held rank were accorded special status.
The illegal traffic in drugs is the most lucrative of criminal enterprises, so it's no surprise that's the Mexikanemi's main business. Here's what they do and how they do it:
One of the organization's principal activities and sources of income was trafficking in illegal drugs. Its members obtained large quantities of narcotics and distributed them among its membership and non-members for sale, that is, conventional street drug distribution. The Texas Mexican Mafia also required non-members who distributed narcotics to pay a "tax" for the privilege of selling narcotics. This extortion payment or tax was known as "the dime" or "the ten percent" or by the informal Spanish term for "the dime": "el daime." The organization imposed and collected a ten percent tax on the proceeds of all illegal drug sales by non-members. Failure to pay the tax could result in serious bodily injury, robbery, or death. In exchange for paying the ten percent drug tax, the Texas Mexican Mafia provided the taxpayer protection from robbery, assistance in collecting drug debts, and a degree of protection from competing drug dealers. The illegal drugs distributed by the enterprise, which included heroin and cocaine, were purchased, sold and distributed in interstate and foreign commerce.
"Taxation" connected to asserted geographical control are key aspects of modern organized criminal groups. They put street gangs and DTOs in competition with legitimate governments for de facto "territorial sovereignty" — a competition which which has lead to direct confrontation in Mexico and elsewhere. Another aspect of sovereignty is administration of justice, and "La Emi" (last letter "i," distinguished from the Californian "La Eme") has its own rules and merciless punishments for those who are found to have violated them:
The members of the Texas Mexican Mafia were governed by a strict code of conduct that was enforceable by death or serious injury. The code absolutely prohibited cooperation by any member with law enforcement officials.
In fact, according to news reports, about half of the co-conspirators in this case have already flipped and cooperated as part of their plea-bargains. So much for absolute prohibitions of cooperation. As the prison murder described in Part Two illustrates, these guys will kill their brothers (carnales) over petty intramural intrigue. They are also happy to whack a blood brother in a fight for control after a leader dies or is otherwise hors de combat. Mexikanemi leader Robert Anthony Martinez Perez, 48, was executed by lethal injection in Texas in March 2007 after having been convicted of two gang-succession murders. He was largely sent over based on the testimony of flipped carnales. I write at length about similar intra-mural murderous intrigue in the California Mexican Mafia in my forthcoming book No Boundaries: Transnational Latino Gangs and American Law Enforcement. Greed is thicker than notional blood, homes.
San Antonio is still the capital of the Texas Mexican Mafia. Both the city and the gang play key roles in the illicit drug trade, according to the National Drug Intelligence Center:
Several Mexican DTOs have recently relocated from the South Texas border area to San Antonio, facilitating the development of San Antonio as a national-level transshipment point for cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, and heroin. Drug traffickers are also establishing numerous stash locations in the San Antonio area from which they can distribute wholesale quantities of illicit drugs throughout the country, particularly to central and eastern U.S. markets.
The Mexikanemi prison gang, which is based in San Antonio, controls a significant portion of wholesale and midlevel drug distribution in the city. The gang supplies many local street gangs in San Antonio and operates its own extensive retail distribution network. After selling illicit drugs to local gangs, Mexikanemi then collects a 10 percent "street tax" on the profits generated by the sale of these drugs. Mexikanemi operates throughout Texas and is actively recruiting members from small communities around San Antonio and throughout South Texas. Mexikanemi members have a propensity for violence and have been linked to numerous assaults, murders, and shootings.

Two people have been sent to the hospital after a car struck them in the parking lot of a Springs bar after a large fight erupted early Sunday morning.
Around 2 a.m. a fight broke out in the parking lot of the Yukon Tavern at 525 S. Circle Drive. The men involved in the fight then got into a dark-colored Subaru and hit a male pedestrian on their way out of the parking lot.
As a crowd gathered around the injured man, a second vehicle--a white late-model Pontiac--crashed into the crowd. Two people in that group were sent to the hospital with minor injuries. Police say the worst of the injuries was a broken leg.
The victim in the first collision left the scene before officers arrived. His condition is unknown.
Both drivers left the scene before police could arrive. If you saw either incident or know anything about them, give police a call at 719-444-7000 or Crime Stoppers at 719-634-STOP.

Since the early 1980s, research has shown that interacting with dogs and other pets is good for your physical and emotional health. Animal-assisted psychotherapy can help kids and adults overcome trauma and improve social and emotional functioning. Maine has recently joined the growing list of states using the adoption and care of horses to help rehabilitate prison inmates. Jay Field paid a visit this morning to ShelterMe, a new equine therapy program at the Bolduc Correctional Facility in Warren.
The newly-renovated horse barn sits on the slope of a hill, overlooking the 222-bed, minimum security prison. Bolduc's mission is to prepare inmates to re-enter society. Prisoners with three years or less left on their sentences - who've served their time and stayed out of trouble - get to come here as a reward for their good behavior.
Chris (above), who didn't want to give his last name, says he's already learned a lot from the horse he's leading through a pasture next to the barn. "A thousand pound animal that, if it gets in its head that it wants to do something, it's going to do it, whether you want it to or not," he says. "So you've got to be a little understanding of him. I wouldn't do any other job here."
Bradley (in photo right, with Lincoln), one of two horses taken in so far as part of the ShelterMe program, is being nursed to better health, prepped for eventual adoption, by the burly inmate who's spent much of his sentence behind the walls and razor wire of the nearby Maine State Prison.
"I'm actually hoping this will lead into something when I get out, as far as working with horses and other animals, farm animals mostly," he says.
Work - a good, stable job to go to every day - is a key piece of the puzzle that an inmate must have in place to succeed on the outside, says Joseph Ponte, commissioner of the Maine Department of Corrections. Caring for animals, be they dogs or horses, Ponte says, gives inmates basic skills that are transferable.
"Getting up and going to work everyday, for some offenders, is a new concept," he says. "So that alone is teaching skills to get them back into society, to get them ready."
Many inmates, though, need to devlop more than basic work skills. One of the fundamental, developmental and psychological deficits for many felons - especially those convicted of violent crimes - is a lack of empathy for others. Randall Thomas, the farm manager at Bolduc Correctional Facility, says horses have a mystical ability to nurture that learning process.
"People get angry in prison a lot and they go to the horse and they just calm down," he says.
Officials with the Department of Corrections tried to prevent journalists from asking prisoners in the ShelterMe program what offenses they had been incarcerated for. Chris, the inmate we spoke with, declined to discuss his criminal past, but left little doubt that the bond he's been developing with Bradley is changing his overall approach to relationships with others.
"If you don't feel good or you're tired, it doesn't matter - you still have to come feed him, clean his feet, groom him, exercise him," he says. "You can't just leave him in his stall. It's very akin to having a child."
Chris and one other inmate make a $150 a week stipend to take care of Bradley and another horse named Lincoln. The ShelterMe program, the first of its kind in Maine, plans to take in other horses in the coming months and can accommodate as many as six animals at a time.

Prep roundup: Ripley edges Riverside for sectional softball title
Myranda Murphy scored on an error with one out in the bottom of the eighth inning to send host Ripley past Riverside 3-2 Saturday in the championship game of the Class AAA Region 3 Section 4 softball tournament.
Ripley (16-6), which finished No. 10 in the final state sportswriters' poll, will visit South Charleston on Thursday in the Region 3 semifinals. The Vikings beat Riverside 4-0 Thursday but lost 12-8 Friday to force a third and deciding game.
Murphy reached first base after an error on her fly ball to center field in the eighth. Ripley's Kelsey Moore sent a ground ball to third that was scooped up, but the throw sailed wide of first and into right field, allowing Murphy to plate the winning run.
Riverside knotted the game at 2-all in the top of the sixth as Chelsea Diegert led off with a single, took second on Cassady Schmidt's hit and scored on Destinae Schmidt's one-out single.
The Warriors (20-16) left 11 runners stranded and pounded out 10 hits, but committed five errors that led to three unearned runs. Riverside starter Sara Winter surrendered just four singles and struck out four while rapping out two hits. Destini Diegert went 3 for 4 for the Warriors while Felicia Burton and Kaylea Wolfe each drove in a run.
The Fighting Irish led 6-3 entering the sixth before the Patriots scored six runs, highlighted by Anderson's grand slam, to take the lead for good at 9-6. Tanner Sorrells went 2 for 3 with a double for GW (20-10) while Ty McClanahan pounded out two hits and Connor Moffatt doubled.
Rocco Wilcox belted a home run and finished with three RBIs for Catholic (21-9) and Connor Golden went 2 for 4 with a triple. The Irish committed six errors.
The three Hurricane pitchers combined to scatter seven hits while the Redskins offense scored at least two runs in every inning except the sixth.
Estep went 3 for 3 with a double and three RBIs for Hurricane (23-4) while Tate Brock smacked a two-run home run and Dawson ripped two hits, including a double. Evan Potter doubled for the Big Blacks, who committed three errors.
McQuain fanned 15 for the Warriors (10-10). For Trinity, reliever Donnie Waller struck out 11 and Daniel Dawley and Noah Jones had two hits apiece.
