Immigration reform could result in mandatory employment checks
What is E-Verify?
Free database system that employers use to verify an applicant's work status.
Concept for a national employment-verification system was the 1996 brainchild of Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Lake Elsinore.
In 1997, the Basic Pilot employment-check hotline was launched.
E-Verify is mandatory for federal agencies and their contractors. Voluntary for all other employers, except in Arizona and Mississippi.
Number of businesses in San Diego County that use E-Verify
Virtually everyone in the immigration debate agrees on the following point: This year, after decades of wrangling, lawmakers will require employers nationwide to verify whether an applicant is eligible to work.
The system would cover all residents, from U.S. citizens to immigrants with work permits to people living in this nation without permission.
Business and immigrant advocacy groups that have opposed the idea — they believe it would unduly burden companies — are resigned to it this time around because Congress and President Barack Obama back mandatory employment checks. Supporters of the proposal view it as a critical step in minimizing unauthorized immigration.
Plans being floated in Washington, D.C., include a system modeled after E-Verify, a free and largely voluntary program being used by 429,100 business locations nationwide — including 3,634 in San Diego County.
The local participants span all industries, including Rubio's, the Viejas Tribal Gaming Commission, Ayres Hotel Alpine, Dexter Wilson Engineering, Gaskill Painting Company, La Jolla Country Club, Miller Marine, Basile Construction, Bread & Cie, East Village Tavern & Bowl and Jack in the Box Inc.
"E-Verify works, and it must be the starting point for any immigration-reform legislation along with border security," said Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Lake Elsinore, whose legislation in 1996 created the nation's first employment verification hotline.
The toll-free hotline, which began a year later, eventually led to the 2007 formation of the E-Verify computer database system.
"If we cut off the job magnet, that will end the incentive for people to cross the border illegally in the first place," Calvert said. "It's important ... that jobs go to American citizens and people who are here legally."
People who have been wary of E-Verify are anxious to get the legislative specifics, such as how the program will be rolled out, potential penalties for violations and measures for maximizing accuracy.
"It's inevitable we are moving in that direction, and I want to make sure it is imposed in a way that does not create an additional burden on small business," said Ruben Barrales, who served as CEO of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce until December.
Barrales worries that smaller companies will lose time and money trying to figure out compliance, that applicants will have a tough time correcting database errors affecting them, and that hiring for key jobs will be delayed if the verification process becomes complicated.
Calvert said not having such a program in place is also a burden on businesses.
"You hire someone and you put all this money and training and time in, and then have to discharge them because you find out they are not documented," he said. "I've heard from employers who want to make sure they have a legal workforce."
An additional step
If Congress and the president mandate employment verification, everyone from major corporations to nonprofit groups to mom-and-pop shops would have to take an additional step in the hiring process.
Currently, a prospective employee presents certain vital documents — such as a driver's license, passport, birth certificate or green card — to an employer. If that company's or agency's human resources department determines those documents are reasonably authentic, it will photocopy them and keep the material on file. No verification phone calls or other checks are required.

You may have seen the word LOHAS in your reading or shopping in recent years. The name, which is an acronym for Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability, is a growing community of people and businesses committed to researching and developing a range of products and services all designed to give us more choices as concerned consumers.
LOHAS focuses on six key market sectors that, combined, influence nearly everything you might use in your daily life. For example,
- The PERSONAL HEALTH sector includes things like natural, organic products, integrative health practices;
- The GREEN BUILDING sector covers renewable energy systems, Energy Star appliances and sustainable flooring;
- NATURAL LIFESTYLES focuses on products such as organic cleaning supplies and compact fluorescent lights;
- ALTERNATIVE ENERGY programs like renewable energy credits.
- ECO TOURISM, which includes eco-tourism and eco-adventure travel; and,
- ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION, which includes research and development of hybrid vehicles, biodiesel fuel and car sharing programs.
Combined, these sectors comprise an estimated $290 billion marketplace. We believe in the LOHAS mission and think that their influence can already be felt with the growing popularity (and demand) for organic foods, eco-friendly cleaning products, hybrid cars and CFL light bulbs.
If you'd like to learn more about LOHAS or explore how you can get involved, the group holds a conference every June in Boulder, Colorado– the LOHAS Forum.
There are also a number of regional networking events across the country throughout the year.

|General information
|List of characters
Larry the Lobster is a muscular vascular red Cod lobster who is a common patron and lifeguard of Bikini Bottom's popular beach, Goo Lagoon. He is a relatively major character but with lesser appearances, who is usually seen interacting with Sandy, SpongeBob, or other characters in the series. He is voiced by Doug Lawrence. Larry first appeared in the episode "Ripped Pants". Although he appears in many episodes, Larry is known for his inconsistent appearances, as he didn't appear as much as the major characters, but once he appears usually he is a major character.
Larry is a bodybuilder and is often seen competing or working out with other people. He is always seen in his swim trunks, even when not at the beach, similar to Patrick. He regularly goes to Bikini Bottom's beach, The Goo Lagoon, and works as a lifeguard there, as seen most notably in "SpongeGuard on Duty". Larry is one of the strongest creatures in Bikini Bottom, possibly second only to Sandy Cheeks, of whom he is a good friend. Larry is very popular and is idolized by many other beachgoers. In "Band Geeks", it is stated that Larry's heart once gave out from too many tanning pills, and in "Roller Cowards" he is revealed to have a bad armpit odor that is caused by adrenaline. Larry has also run for Bikini Bottom president against Patrick Star. His campaign slogan is "Do you want a president that does not drool when he thinks? Vote for Larry!" Despite this, he lost to Patrick by about 90% of the votes. Larry's implied parents appear in "SpongeGuard on Duty". However, they are not lobsters; they are generic "old person" character models. Larry kicks his own parents off of the beach for being too "old and unsightly", in an ironically polite manner.
Larry appears in the video games "SpongeBob SquarePants: Employee of the Month", "Lights, Camera, Pants!", "Battle for Bikini Bottom", "Revenge of the Flying Dutchman" and "The Yellow Avenger".
He is a popular individual who gets all the babes and is considered an awesome lobster by everyone; he also takes pride in being a lifeguard, knowing that he is the only thing separating the bottomites from a watery grave. He was angry in "Bubble Buddy", and "A Life in a Day", for a good reason. He even kicked out his own parents for being old, but so politely they did not take offense to it. Despite his muscular physique, he is somewhat of a coward, as shown in A Life in a Day.
Antagonistic Side
While Larry is strong, polite and friends with SpongeBob, he is sometimes a little full of himself. This is seen when he completely ignores the Flying Dutchman, instead ranting about his body. There is also a part of the song in "Ripped Pants (song)" when the lyrics were "when big Larry came 'round just to put him down". Earlier in the episode he also acknowledged SpongeBob as something of an underling, similar to Squidward. However, Larry has grown into a good friend of SpongeBob.
He can also be very extreme in sports sometimes, and when Patrick and SpongeBob landed in Ripper's Reef, Larry got very angry at SpongeBob.
Larry's first real interaction with Spongebob was in SpongeGuard on Duty, and was pretty impressed when he saw the drop of ice cream on his nose, (thinking it was sun tan lotion, or as it is referred to as, "white stuff" Larry seems to interact well with Spongebob, talking to him when he's around and and creating small talk with him quite often, as he asked him to help him spread sun tan lotion on himself, in, The Abrasive Side, and complmenting him in Pets or Pests. Template:Section-Expand
Larry and Patrick have had little interaction, and there for, have an average relationship. Template:Section-Expand
Larry get's along pretty well with Sandy, since they are both into sports and both are very atlehtic, In Ripped Pants, he invited Sandy and Spongebob for weight lifting, and they both impressed eachother with their skills. Also, in MuscleBob Buffpants, he and Sandy both particpate in the Anchor Toss. Template:Section-Expand
SpongeGuard on Duty
- "You know, SpongeBob, the babes in the big chair are great, but the best part is knowing that you're the only one standing between these good people and a watery grave. That's what it's all about. Their lives are in your hands now, 'cause I have a date with the tanning booth. So long."
- "How would you like to take the second shift?"
- "I think you're ready."
- "SpongeBob, are you okay?"
- "You're not a lifeguard are you?"

CLEVELAND -- Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office spokesman John O'Brien confirms to Channel 3 that convicted former Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora is still in the Cuyahoga County Jail.
It was exactly three weeks ago todaysince Dimora, 58, arrived back in Cleveland from federal prison in West Virginia.
It's believed he's been put in front of a county grand jury, helping Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty explore other charges in the Cuyahoga County corruption probe.
No one is saying if Dimora is testifying or taking the Fifth Amendment, the rightto prohibit self-incrimination so as not toimplicate oneself in a criminal offense.
Dimora was taken into federal custody on March 9, 2012, just minutes after he was found guilty on 33 counts, including bribery and conspiracy.
In August 2012, he was sentenced to 28 years in prison.
His only visitors allowed at the Cuyahoga County Jailare family and his lawyers. He's housed in what amounts to solitary confinement or an isolation cell.
From March 9, 2012, until Feb. 5, 2013, Dimora was housed in the minimum security federal facility outside Youngstown. Since then he's been in FCI Gilmer, in Glenville, W.Va. It has one of the top medical facilities in the prison system.

Fashionistas out there might assume they know everything when it comes to applying eyeliner, eyeshadow and all other eye makeup essentials. However, Glamour Magazine reports what you know about applying eye makeup may be all wrong. Luckily, the style experts are here to help you make the right choices when it comes to your cosmetics.
Rule 1: Don't apply eyeliner across your entire lid
According to the experts, ladies should refrain from applying their eyeliner from the inner corner and all the way out to the edge of their lids as this tends to make the eyes look much smaller. Instead, girls should simply trace along the outer two-thirds of their eyes - leaving the inner corners open. This will not only help you stand out from your friends, but will also elongate the shape of your eyes.
Rule 2: Apply your liner in the right spot
Many young ladies out there might not be entirely sure about where exactly to apply their eyeliner on the bottom lids. Glamour reports eyeliner should always be applied directly onto the roots of your lashes. If you miss a few spots along the way, simply go back with a fine liner brush until the product is thick and even.
InStyle Magazine suggests girls first apply an eye primer on their lids before adding on eyeliner in order to avoid annoying smudging.
Rule 3: Use specific wands for better mascara application
Mascara is a must for any day or nighttime look and you may assume that the brush that comes with your mascara is a perfect option. According to Glamour Magazine, this is not the case. Instead, the style experts suggest ladies get a fan brush to use with their mascara as this type of wand helps to cover the base of the lashes. This gives your eyelashes more definition, making your eyes pop.

Christine looks fantastic every time I see her. I took her photo a while back and have run into her several times since then , always wearing her trademark bakelite braceletes . Her style, a mix of modern and vintage elements , is imbued with a romantic spirit.

I love the snapped coat, the hat, and hand-warmers in the first shot! I recently made a pair of hand-warmers almost identical to those. Can she tell us where she got that amazing coat??

Move over, Miley Cyrus. Jessica Lange is about to steal your thunder. That's right – after providing the spoken-word soundtrack at Marc Jacobs's fall runway show, the 64-year-old actress has been announced as the new face of Marc Jacobs Beauty. And much like her work on American Horror Story, the stunner's first ad is absolutely bewitching.
Between this and NARS announcing 68-year-old Charlotte Rampling as the face of its label, it's official: mature models are having a moment.

This winter has gotten a reputation, around here anyway, as something of a skinflint. This allegation, whatever its meteorological merits, sounds like the cruelest sort of lie when you're stuck up to your armpits in a drift.
Nor does it add to the tale's plausibility that your forearms have to endure their frigid submersion with nothing but skin for protection.
And skin gives up a lot, insulation-wise, to wool.What really galls you — well, besides being immobilized — is that you doffed your waterproof parka because the snow was so soft and so deep that your feet, though strapped into two-foot-long plastic shoes, plunged in past the knee with each stride. And even though you weren't exactly overdressed for a 23-degree day you were within a few minutes of leaving the car literally soaked in sweat.
If you would please forgive my clumsy transition from the second person to the first, the "you" character in the preceding paragraphs is in fact "I."
By which I mean me.
I put on the parka, and then pulled it off.
And I stupidly stepped on a juvenile lodgepole even though I knew the snow around its trunk would compress with the firmness of twice-sifted cake flour.
I foundered, then floundered, and finally came free.
I stomped my snowshoes a few times to compact a firm platform and then just stood there for a moment, wheezing, while the snow melted into teardrops on my goose-bumped arms.
My daughter Olivia, who supplied the 35-pound burden of toddler, toddler carrier, snowsuit and snowboots, seemed not to care that she had nearly been launched, missile-like, into the snow.
I suspect she might have gone all the way under, too, so loose was the 18 inches of powder that had accumulated in the past two days atop the old congealed crust.
Certainly any object that is smaller, lighter or less rounded than a 21-month-old would have disappeared, not to be found until May.
We've gone snowshoeing in the mountains at least a dozen times this winter but Sunday was the first day I felt the snow was actively conspiring against me.
This seems the opposite of what a person ought to expect, considering winter has been on the wane for weeks now.
But the seasons, I've noticed, tend to slink into the high country rather than barge in as they're apt to do in the lowlands.
And none is as shy or as furtive in going about its yearly migration as spring, which often as not ignores the equinox altogether and fritters about until the brink of the solstice.
Or perhaps it is the stubborn nature of winter, rather than the reticence of spring, that is to blame.
In any case, my tussle with the implacable snow of the Elkhorns on Sunday was hardly the first instance in which I have been mired in the remnants of a March blizzard.
There's nothing secretive about this.
Statistics show quite plainly that in our nearby mountains March more often marks the high tide of winter, as it were, than the beginning of the season's ebb.
This can be a hard truth to believe, I'll concede, when you step onto your front porch and see that the first crocus leaf has pushed its pale green blade through the soil.
Snow can linger well past St. Patrick's Day even in our valleys, of course. But come March the stuff seems to me misplaced when it's lying about town, like goldenrod that persists in blooming after the frost has blackened and shriveled most everything else.
March snow reminds me of a reclusive animal, a weasel maybe, that lurks in the cool shadows of fence posts and disdains being caught out in a sunny field.
No month is utterly reliable, it's true, although some are more trustworthy than others.
You can count on July, for instance, to supply that one day which is the apotheosis of summer, when lemonade tastes sweetest and the drone of a distant lawnmower sounds as soothing as the sea rhythmically spending itself on the shore.
January, for its part, rarely fails to conjure, at least briefly, that ideal scene of blue sky, white snow and red-barked ponderosa pine.
March, though, belongs to that shady class of months which do not rest within a single season and thus owe allegiance to none.
These months excel at a particular sort of treachery, one which delights in sending in a snow squall to spoil a picnic or a tennis match.
This results, naturally, in a certain amount of frustration, and the occasional long trudge back to the trailhead in drenched boots.
Still, I wouldn't care to live where the climate is more faithful. It would sadden me as deeply to forego our local fluctuations as it would to swap our mountains for a vast prairie.
There is something to be said for stability, I suppose.
But a person has lived less of a life, it seems to me, who never had to throw off the cold but gentle caress of a young pine that is up past its haunches in late snow.

I decided at the age of 21 years-old that I was going to place fear aside and go after the passions of my heart. And so while I sold real estate for my father's company I also went to college to get that piece of paper that could help me do just that! As I went through my ONE life I didn't ever want someone to say to me that I couldn't have a job simply because I didn't get a degree. So I got a degree or two and off I went to do ONE thing a few different times!
Now let me clarify that I do believe you need to establish ONE thing that will be your first priority. And for me that has become radio because they pay me well, provide benefits for my family, and I signed a contract saying so. You or I should never "rob Peter to pay Paul"...meaning we don't take advantage of one to benefit the other. Many times I have had to pass up making money from one venture to go work a concert for our radio station.
So what is the ONE thing you and I should remember? We only get ONE life here on earth and we need to make the most of it. There will be a lot of people that will tell you what you should do with this ONE life, but tell them to worry about the ONE life they have and leave yours alone. I encourage you to spread your wings and fly responsibly like an eagle if you have a family to provide for at home. And I encourage you to spread your wings and fly like a bat out of hell if you do not. As usual I do have a disclaimer with my post in saying I don't encourage you to engage in behaviors that are physically, relationally, spiritually, or mentally damaging to yourself or others. And as you pursue the many passions of your heart I also encourage you to ask a very important question. You should spend a great deal of time answering how the pursuit of your passions can be used to make the earth a better place for everyone else who only gets ONE life as well. Because in the end...we will all learn that life isn't just about us, and that our passions were given to us by the ONE who gave us this ONE life. And finally, know that you were born to fly...for some it is like an eagle and for others we are simply like a bat out of hell focused on heaven.

I don't get many but I just have to share this one. It was made after no communication from either of us.
" I dont understand why you didn't just give up when it was obviously over for the past 9 turns
oh well retards like you will always be retards
bye ****
35% win rate. pathetic. so many games played too. how low can you get"
I can see the funny side and am glad I upset them so much. They played Dio return and tidal. One return I managed to fend off with a miracle fruit which must have stung them a bit. The file I was playing, EM is very weak to such tactics. I would have quit but I just got carried away and without hope we have nothing .lol
The reason I have such a low win rate is because I play untested rubbish and quit to low levs.

How a fleet of eight Volvo motor graders keeps road maintenance costs low for a rural county government.
If you think maintaining county roads would be a snap, think again.
A good example comes from Covington County, Alabama, where last March, parts of the county got 12 inches of rain in a single day. The resulting floods completely washed out nearly 30 miles of dirt roads-and all of them must be rebuilt with imported dirt and aggregates.
It's a big project. And while that's going on, the county engineer must maintain another 640 miles of dirt roads, 630 miles of paved roads, and 300 bridges. To repair the flood damage, the county is getting federal aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The total value of the project is $6.9 million, and FEMA will contribute 75 percent of that, or $5.17 million. The rest of the money comes from the state and from county matching funds.
"We'll use our existing fleet of eight motor graders to rebuild the dirt roads that were washed away," says Darren Capps, county engineer. "And we're buying three state surplus dump trucks to help haul the dirt and rock required. FEMA has been very cooperative in helping us to replace those roads."
Volvo Graders Save $37,000
"We had Caterpillar graders when I started here 12 years ago, and then in 2004 we looked at the possibility of getting Volvo graders," says Capps. "We tried them, and we liked the product. We presented the idea to the county commissioners, and they approved."
The acquisition process was not a problem, because Volvo had won the statewide county bid for that class of motor graders. "We bought eight Volvo 720B graders," said Capps. "After a year, we turned them all over and bought nine new Volvo G940 graders, which have since been turned over for new Volvo graders. We like to run newer equipment, and we like to stay within warranty if we can."
Operating costs confirm the county's decision to go with Volvo. "Compared to other brands, the Volvo is a good value," says Capps. "Depending on the application, we burn between four and five gallons of fuel per hour in the Volvo graders. That's a savings of about two gallons per hour, compared to
non-Volvo machines. If you add that up over a year, running eight graders, that's $37,000. That's a significant amount of money to us."
Hard-Working Machines
The eight Volvo G940 motor graders are real workhorses for Covington County. "They maintain our 670 miles of unpaved roads," says Capps. "We use them to pull, or cut new ditches on dirt roads, and to do the grading required for chip seal roads. Recently we've probably built 10 different chip seal roads on dirt, ranging from 800 feet to 3 miles in length."
The county also uses its motor graders to "clip the shoulders" on paved roads. On those, soil and trash can build up at the edge of pavement, and the shoulder must be cut down level to the pavement.
But the lion's share of work for the motor graders consists of pulling ditches on the dirt roads. In the northern part of the county, the dirt roads consist mainly of clay. The clay roads are more stable and the ditches don't need to be cut as often as in the southern half of the county, where the soil is sandy. The sandy roads need their ditches pulled every year. "We probably pull ditches every year on three-quarters of our 670 miles of unpaved roads," says Capps.
Pine straw frequently gathers in the ditches and must be graded up onto the roads in the first pass with a grader. On the next pass, the grader will cut deeper, pulling soil up onto the pine straw and burying it. "If you don't bury that straw, it will wash-board the road - create bumps in it," says Capps.
Getting Maximum Traction
Mike Hughes, the road superintendent for the southern part of the county, says he likes the variable horsepower feature of Volvo motor graders. "You can get moving better from the start and as your load increases, you can apply more horsepower," says Hughes.
A motor grader is traction-limited at low speeds, explains Gary Atkinson, regional product manager for Road Products, Volvo Construction Equipment. "You can only take advantage of as much horsepower as you have weight in the machine," he says. "So you limit the horsepower at lower speeds and in the higher gears you increase the horsepower. That way you reduce tire wear - you're not slipping - and you don't waste horsepower that you can't use efficiently."
What's more, Volvo engines deliver higher torque at lower engine speeds, says Atkinson. "You can run at a higher gear with lower rpm's, which produces less noise, less fuel consumption, and longer engine life," says Atkinson. The Volvo G940 graders have 11 gears forward and six gears in reverse.
Operator Chris Nelson says he likes the memory gear feature on the Volvo G940. When shifting back and forth between forward and reverse, the grader will remember what forward gear the operator selected and which reverse gear he selected. "If I'm finish grading something in first or second gear forward, then I'll back up in fifth or sixth gear reverse," says Nelson. "The grader remembers what gears I'm using, and I don't have to shift through all of the gears every time."
Getting Good Grades
Each year the state of Alabama rates the county's paved roads on a 100-point scale, with 100 being perfect. A number of factors enter into the rating process, including surface condition of the roads, the edging, the clarity of the centerline stripe, the ditching and more.
In recent years, says Capps, he and his team of 56 employees in the Road Department have succeeded in raising Covington County's rating from 79 to 93. "How did that happen?" we asked Capps.
Five years ago, the county performed a $4.3 million resurfacing project that helped upgrade the paved roads. And the county bought a pavement-striping machine that helps keep the centerline stripes in good shape. The Volvo motor graders clip the shoulders on paved roads, so they have helped. "It's just managing your roads," says a modest Capps.
Minimum Downtime
Capps says the county seldom has any downtime with the Volvo motor graders. And if something goes wrong, ASC Construction Equipment - the county's Volvo dealer - is right there to fix the problem. "If we do have a problem we can call ASC and they respond quickly," says Capps. "Often they have fixed a problem early in the morning, even before the operator gets to work. That means a lot - when you don't have an operator waiting on service to go to work in the morning."
In fact, says John Edwards, ASC's general manager for the Gulf Coast, the success of Covington County's grading operations is a direct result of cooperation between Volvo, ASC, and the county. "All three of us work together to produce some of the highest-quality roads - for the lowest possible operating costs - in the state of Alabama," says Edwards.

Maureen Ennis' final song was a moving number written for her late cousin's funeral.
The chorus was simply and powerfully, I will sing you home.
Ron Hynes closed out the songwriter's circle with a new song.
He never gave the title, but in it, he used card games as a metaphor for life's gambles.

Jobin Varghese
Photo by Chris Taggart
April 23, 2013
Midtown Manhattan's University Club was a scene of revelry and good cheer on April 22, as Fordham celebrated a tradition of making education accessible to those who struggle to afford it.
The annual Scholarship Donors and Recipients Reception brought together Fordham students with donors who made their scholarships possible. It was a chance for both to appreciate the transformative power of a donor's generosity.
"My time here at Fordham would not have been possible without the contributions of generous donors like you," said Jobin Varghese, a senior at Fordham College at Rose Hill.
Varghese, president of the Fordham chapter of the Jesuit National Honor Society Alpha Sigma Nu and a recipient of the UPS Endowed Program, shared the story of his parents, who immigrated to the Bronx from India in 1984 and worked minimum wage jobs to support the family. They saw firsthand the power of an education, he said, and made sure he visited the Rose Hill campus.
And when unexpected medical expenses for his two younger brothers strained the family's finances, a financial aid package helped make his college dream attainable.
Upon graduation, Varghese will be taking a job with J.P. Morgan Chase's Treasury and Investor Services Division.
He vowed to remain true to himself and never compromise his morals.
"These words are echoed every day by the staff here at Fordham. Therefore, as I go out into the world—and specifically to J.P Morgan—I will put into practice the lessons I have learned, and . . . carry out my responsibilities at work honestly, in good faith, and with integrity."
Joseph M. McShane, S.J., President of Fordham

In his talk thanking attendees, Joseph M. McShane, S.J., president of Fordham, referred to his predecessor, Joseph O'Hare, S.J., who was president of the University for 19 years.
"He would say to donors with great regularity, 'We are all beneficiaries of a legacy that we did not create, and stewards of a legacy we will never enjoy,'" he said.
"He was absolutely right, except on this night. In a very real sense, the University family comes together and those who are the beneficiaries of a legacy they did not create meet stewards of a legacy they enjoy. When donors and scholarship recipients come together, everything in the University comes together in a marvelous way."
Kathleen H. MacLean, FCRH '75, and her husband Brian, FCRH '75, funded a scholarship for Fordham undergraduates and a fund that provides resources for student housing. Meeting two of the recipients of the housing fund that evening was amazing, she said.
"I've almost benefitted more by meeting them and seeing how inspiring they are, and how much work they've put into school," she said.
One of them was Vianca Abreu, a Fordham College at Lincoln Center junior majoring in international studies and political science. This year, Abreu was able to trade her 2.5 hour commute from Freeport, Long Island, for a room at McMahon Hall.
"It's great. I'm actually getting A's . . . because I don't have to work two jobs to afford the LIRR, to afford the subway," she said.
Ellen Zoey Sands, a sophomore psychology major at Fordham College at Rose Hill, is the recipient of the Reverend Phil Carey, S.J., Endowed Scholarship Fund, for which she maintains a high G.P.A. and does service work on campus. She has visited retired Jesuits in Murray-Weigel Hall and has done fundraising for a school in the Honduras.
"I'm really excited to meet my benefactors and thank them for all they've allowed me to do," she said. "Having this scholarship helped me to stay at Fordham for the next three years, and I'm very blessed."
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to more than 15,100 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in West Harrison, N.Y., the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y., and the London Centre at Heythrop College, University of London, in the United Kingdom.

GOP Pols Appear In "It Gets Better" Video
Jim Burroway
October 25th, 2011
Last July when the entire Massachusetts congressional delegation — with the exception of lone Republican Sen. Scott Brown — released an "It Gets Better" video, Dan Savage noticed the conspicuous omission. "Not a single GOP elected official can bring himself or herself to make a video, or participate in the creation of one," he wrote at the time. I thought that couldn't be true, and I challenged our readers to find that GOP elected official. You couldn't.
Now, happily, that is corrected. Ten our of the fifteen-members New Jersey congressional delegation, including three Republicans, have issued a video for the "It Gets Better" campaign. Zach Ford reminds us that the three Republicans, Reps. Leonard Lance, Frank LoBiondo, and Jon Runyan, are not pro-gay by any means — two of them voted against DADT repeal, all three support DOMA, and none have supported legislation that might actually make things better for gay people — this nevertheless is clearly a step in the right direction, and the three Congressmen are to be commended for finally making the right move.

Sierra Club members, supporters, partners and allies have worked tirelessly to retire 150 coal-fired power plants since January 2010 -- a significant milestone in the campaign to move the country beyond dirty and outdated fossil fuels. Thousands of activists have come together to help save their communities from dangerous pollution from coal-fired power plants. These plants not only hurt our air, our water, and our health but also our wallets. The retirement of these coal-fired power plants will help save lives, prevent asthma and heart attacks, and save billions in health costs. While these antiquated coal plants are being retired, the U.S. is ramping up production of clean, renewable energy sources like wind and solar. This is a huge win for our communities and for future generations.

The story of Dennis Gonzalez, the Mexican Mafia's man ("associate," " camarada," whatever) in Oklahoma City — like so many gangster tales — could begin in a lot of times and places.
Let's start with what is perhaps the most breach-honored tradition of Latino gangs — never rat out your homies:
Oklahoma City gang member Jason "Joker" Lujan agreed to cooperate with authorities after his arrest in 2003, volunteering that several members of a Hispanic gang from California, later identified as the Compton Varrio Tortilla Flats, including "Boxer," "Lalo," and Mr. Lujan's sister-in-law, Jennifer Lujan, had moved to Oklahoma City to deal large quantities of methamphetamine. Specifically, Mr. Lujan explained that Boxer, later identified as Dennis Emerson Gonzalez, had already left Oklahoma City but still ran the operation; Lalo, later identified as Eduardo Verduzco, delivered drugs to Oklahoma City at Mr. Gonzalez's direction; Ms. Lujan distributed the drugs in Oklahoma City; and Mr. Gonzalez's girlfriend, "Mousey," stored the drugs in her apartment.
United States v. Castro, (10th Cir. Court of Appeals) May 30, 2007, 225 Fed. Appx. 755; 2007 U.S. App. LEXIS 12543.
Oops. I guess Jason "Joker" Lujan did not get the omerta memo. You know. The one about never talking to law enforcement, death before dishonor, etc.
"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
Joker Lujan wasn't the only homey throwing his fellow gangsters under the prison bus.
At about the same time, a Compton Varrio Tortilla Flats member was also talking to now-retired Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Sergeant Richard Valdemar about the connection between Compton and Oklahoma City — including the long-distance control by the Mexican Mafia of a major part of the drug trade in Oklahoma City.
Valdemar's notes of the conversation run to four single-spaced pages. Among other things, the informant — whose anonymity will be protected here — "said that he would be willing to cooperate with a federal investigation to bring down Dennis Gonzalez and his Mexican Mafia connections…"
But…wait. Mexican Mafia? In Oklahoma? As the following — admittedly crude — graphic illustrates, Oklahoma City ("where the wind comes sweeping down the plain") is not in Southern California.
Nothing is so interesting about this sordid little drug-trafficking operation as the fact that it illustrates the powerful reach of EME half-way across the country, by means of its control over a Sureno gang, and that gang's "muscling in" on what was a purely local Latino street gang, the "South Side Locos." Another federal appellate case provides a bit more detail:
Mr. Lujan told the police that, beginning in early 2002, several members of a Hispanic gang from California, later identified as the Compton Varrio Tortilla Flats, moved to Oklahoma City to set up a methamphetamine-dealing operation. Mr. Lujan explained to the police that the members of the group included "Boxer," one of his confederates later identified as Mr. Gonzalez, who ran the operation from Florida; "Lalo," later identified as Eduardo Verduzco, who delivered the drugs to Oklahoma City at Mr. Gonzalez's direction; and Jennifer Lujan, his sister-in-law, who distributed the methamphetamine.
United States v. Dennis Emerson Gonzalez, (10th Cir.), 238 Fed. Appx. 350; 2007 U.S. App. LEXIS 15102, June 25, 2007.
An indictment in the case — in which most of the participants pleaded guilty, although Gonzalez and Castro went to trial and were convicted — described Gonzalez's central managerial role:
During the period of the conspiracy … Gonzalez… exercised an organizing and leadership role in the drug trafficking enterprise by among other things, recruiting distributors, demanding a share of the profits in sales, controlling distributors, identifying persons to whom distributors should wire transfer money and directing the wire transfer of the money. The drug trafficking enterprise involved at least twenty individuals, in the coordinated smuggling of controlled substances from California to Oklahoma and the transfer of drug proceeds in at least 195 separate transactions.
Superseding Indictment, United States v. Dennis Emerson Gonzalez (U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma), Docket No. CR-04-179-R, October 20, 2004.
According to Valdemar's informant, Gonzalez was acting as the Mexican Mafia's representative, a function and organization described in the two earlier post in this series (here and here). There was the requisite whacking to bring recalcitrant locals into line. (Not that the South Side Locos are any angels. Two of them went to prison in 2006 for killing a 9-year old with stray bullets from a shooting.)
The question all of this raises is two fold: where else in "middle America" has the "California prison gang" EME taken control of local street gang operations, and what is the trend?
Valdemar is still very much active in the anti-gang world. He believes that the Mexican Mafia is very deliberately extending its reach and expanding its control throughout much of the United States. In other words, consolidating and integrating. It makes sense that EME could do that if it chose to, if you consider the number of Latino gangsters who roll in and out of prisons and jails at all levels, the dispersion of EME members throughout the federal prison system, and their presence in many state facilities.
The same bloody mechanism of control that worked in California can as well apply in any prison in which the Mexican Mafia has a beachhead: sooner or later a gang's members are going to end up in a prison where they can be "green-lighted" for murder if the gang does not defer to EME on the streets.
What worries Valdemar is his belief that these tentacles out of California are invisible to many in law enforcement at all levels.
