Mexican drug trafficking organizations make billions each year smuggling drugs into the United States, profiting enormously from the prohibitionist drug policies of the US government. Since Mexican president Felipe Calderon took office in December 2006 and called the armed forces into the fight against the so-called cartels, prohibition-related violence has killed more than 45,000 people, including more than 15,000 last year and approximately 13,000 this year. The increasing militarization of the drug war and the arrest or killing of dozens of high-profile drug traffickers have failed to stem the flow of drugs -- or the violence -- whatsoever. The Merida initiative, which provides $1.4 billion over three years for the US to assist the Mexican government with training, equipment and intelligence, has so far failed to make a difference. Here are a few of the latest developments in Mexico's drug war:
Tuesday, December 13
In Chihuahua, two bodyguards were killed during an attack on the public safety secretary of the town of Gran Morelos. Miguel Angel Gomez Carrera was wounded along with his wife and two children. The two bodyguards were following them in a pickup truck. Carrera has been in the position since November 21, when his predecessor was arrested with a known drug trafficker.
In Monterrey, eight people were murdered. In one incident, five young men were kidnapped, taken to a street corner, lined up against a wall and shot.
Thursday, December 15
In Saltillo, Coahuila, a series of fire fights left 10 people dead, including one soldier and one bystander. The violence began early in the afternoon when soldiers began chasing a convoy of armed men. During the gun battle, a woman was shot and suffered wounds from which she later died. One gunman was killed when his vehicle crashed. Three men were later arrested during a raid at a safe house in connection with the incident.
Later that night, seven gunmen and a soldier were killed in a fire fight.
Near Culiacan, two men were executed and dumped off the side of a highway. One of the men, Juan Guzman Rocha, "El Juancho" is reported to be a first cousin or nephew of Sinaloa Cartel boss Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman. He is also thought to be a member of Los Antrax, a group of Sinaloa Cartel enforcers.
In Zacatecas, armed men thought to be from the Sinaloa Cartel attacked targets in five towns, killing four people and wounded eight others. In one incident, armed men entered a hospital and threatened staff before taking away three men who were being treated there for wounds suffered earlier. Grenades were used in several of the attacks. In the town of Jerez, a convoy of 20 vehicles -- totaling around 70 gunmen -- briefly kidnapped and beat several local police officers before releasing them.
Friday, December 16
In Michoacan, the dismembered bodies of two men were found on a road in the municipality of Iguala. A note -- which was held in place by the two heads -- said that the men were executed for being kidnappers and extortionists.
Monday, December 19
In Durango, soldiers discovered a grave site containing 10 bodies. This is the 14th mass grave found in the state of Durango this year, totaling 287 bodies. Officials have said many of the killings are a result of an internal dispute within the Sinaloa Cartel.
In Mexico City, the army announced that between December 1, 2006 and December 19, 2011, soldiers had been involved in a total of 1,948 violent incidents with gunmen, in which a total of 126 soldiers and 2,268 gunmen were killed -- a 1:18 ratio. A total of 2,180 gunmen were captured and 348 wounded, compared to 744 soldiers wounded.
During that timeframe, the Army received 5,962 human rights complaints, for which 92 non-binding recommendations were issued by the governmental human rights commission.
Tuesday, December 20
In Arizona, authorities announced that some 200 alleged members of the Sinaloa Cartel were arrested following a 15-month investigation. Approximately $7.8 million dollars were seized, as well as 650 pounds of marijuana, 435 pounds of meth, 123 pounds of coke and 4.5 pounds of heroin, as well as over 40 weapons.
In Sinaloa, the former mayor of the town of Cosala was shot and killed in his home. He was mayor between 2008 and 2010.
Editor's Note: We have been conservatively estimating Mexican drug war deaths this year after El Universal quit publishing a box score. As of mid-November, we had estimated 8,100 deaths so far this year, but in light of new figures have revised that figure upward by about 3,000 deaths. Even that figure is an estimate, no more, until there is some official toll reported.]
Total Body Count for 2007 (approx.): 4,300
Total Body Count for 2008 (approx.): 5,400
Total Body Count for 2009 (approx.): 9,600
Total Body Count for 2010 (official): 15,273
Total Body Count for 2011 (approx.): 12,000

Here are a few of the latest developments in Mexico's drug war:
Thursday, December 22
In Veracruz, suspected Zetas attacked three passenger buses with gunfire and a grenade in an apparent robbery spree, killing eleven people. Three of the dead were later confirmed to be US citizens who were visiting relatives in Mexico for the holidays. The army later announced that it killed the five gunmen after they were shot at attempting to arrest them.
Friday, December 23
In Culiacan, army commandos captured the head of security for the Sinaloa Cartel. Felipe Cabrera Sarabia, "The Engineer," is thought to have run cartel operations in Durango and in part of Chihuahua. No shots were fired during the arrest operation. Over the course of 2011, Cabrera was involved in a bloody dispute with another Sinaloa Cartel faction in the state of Durango.
In the port of Manzanillo, authorities seized 21 metric tons of precursor chemicals used to produce crystal meth on a ship headed towards Guatemala.
In Tampico Alto, Veracruz, ten bodies were discovered. The bodies all bore signs of having been tortured and several were decapitated.
In Los Mochis, Sinaloa, three decapitated bodies were discovered at a location where the body of a municipal police officer was found on December 18th.
Saturday, December 24
In Michoacan, the body of a teenage American citizen was found in the trunk of a burned car along with two others. The teenager, Alex Uriel Marron, 18, was reportedly from the Chicago area and visiting family in the village of Quiringuicharo.
In Saltillo, Coahuila, three gunmen were killed in a fire fight with police. A fourth person was wounded. Several assault rifles were confiscated from a car in which the gunmen were traveling.
Sunday, December 25
In Tamaulipas, authorities discoved 13 bodies in an abandoned truck just across the state border from Veracruz. A banner left with the bodies indicated that the killings were due to an ongoing cartel battle for control of the Veracruz region.
Tuesday, December 27
In Mexico City, the leader of a small cartel was arrested at the airport. Luis Rodriguez Olivera, "Whitey," is thought to have been head of the "Blondies" Organization which has been allied to several larger cartels. US authorities were offering a $5 million reward for his capture, and accuse him and a brother of smuggling cocaine and meth to the US and to Europe.
In Nuevo Leon, police discovered seven bodies buried in a shallow pit or in a well. The bodies, which were found in Linares and Montemorelos, were discovered using information provided by a group of captured kidnappers alleged to be Zetas.
In Sinaloa, a former high-ranking federal police official was sentenced to 10 years for helping the Sinaloa Cartel. Javier Herrera Valles was arrested in 2008, although the arrest was controversial because he had recently accused some of his commanding officers of corruption or incompetence.
Wednesday, December 28
In Michoacan, six gunmen were killed in two separate clashes with the army. In the first, which took place Wednesday night, three men were killed after encountering an army patrol in the Buenavista Tomatlan area. Later, early Thursday morning, another three were killed in a nearby village. All the dead men are thought to be members of the Knights Templar Organization, which is active in the area. In 2011, troops in 21st military district in Michoacan shot dead a total of 91 gunmen from several organizations.
In Ciudad Juarez, a leading cartel enforcer was arrested by police. Arturo Bautista, 31, "El Mil Amores," is thought to be a high-ranking member of La Linea, the enforcement arm of the Juarez Cartel. It is unclear, however, if that is his real name. He has been identified as a resident of El Paso, Texas. Bautista was arrested along with three other men after the murder of a woman whom police say was thought to have been passing intelligence to a rival criminal group.
Friday, December 30
In Veracruz, the Zetas hung up a banner stating they were not responsible for the December 22 bus attacks which killed at least seven people, including three US citizens. The banners claim that corrupt police officers were responsible for the attacks.
In Coahuila, seven suspected Zetas were captured by the army on the Saltillo-Torreon highway. One of the men was identified as a high-ranking member, but the army has so far not identified him.
Saturday, December 31
In Ciudad Juarez, at least four people were murdered in several incidents. According to researcher Molly Molloy, this brings the city's 2011 homicide numbers to 1,980 for the year. This is nearly 40% lower than the 3,622 murders that took place in 2010, but still considerably higher than the 2008 total of 1,623. In total, since 2007, 10,299 homicides have taken place in Ciudad Juarez. February was the bloodiest month in 2011, with 231 murders having taken place.
Sunday, January 1
In Mexico City, the National Human Rights Commission said that they concluded that five men held in connection with a July 2010 car bombing in Ciudad Juarez had been tortured to obtain confessions. They recommended that six federal police officers and a doctor be questioned in relation with the incident. The men were also accused of the killings of two federal agents. Although cleared in those incidents, the men remain incarcerated on narcotics and weapons charges.
Tuesday, January 3
In Sonora, at least five people were murdered. In one incident, the bodies of three young men were found on the side of a highway. In another part of the state, two men were found dead in a bullet-riddled truck. Several weapons, including an AK-47 were found in the truck.
Drug-related violence was confirmed in at least six other states, with nine people confirmed dead.
[Editor's Note: Our 2011 estimated death toll is 12,150, pending the release of official figures.Our new 2012 death toll is also an estimate.]

Mexican drug trafficking organizations make billions each year smuggling drugs into the United States, profiting enormously from the prohibitionist drug policies of the US government. Since Mexican president Felipe Calderon took office in December 2006 and called the armed forces into the fight against the so-called cartels, prohibition-related violence has killed more than 50,000 people, including more than 15,000 in 2010 and another 15,000 last year. The increasing militarization of the drug war and the arrests or killings of dozens of high-profile drug traffickers have failed to stem the flow of drugs -- or the violence -- whatsoever. The Merida initiative, which provides $1.4 billion over three years for the US to assist the Mexican government with training, equipment and intelligence, has so far failed to make a difference. Here are a few of the latest developments in Mexico's drug war:
Thursday, January 26
In Ciudad Juarez, a man was shot and killed inside a restaurant in front of dozens of customers. Several people who were with the victim ran from the scene.
Friday, January 27
In Nuevo Laredo, four gunmen and a soldier were killed during a fire fight. The incident began when gunmen traveling in six vehicles opened fire on an army patrol. Five soldiers were wounded and taken to a local hospital.
In Ciudad Juarez, at least ten people were murdered in several incidents. Ten more would be killed on Saturday.
Saturday, January 28
In Torreon, five people were gunned down by a group of men wielding assault rifles. Four other individuals were wounded in the incident.
In Monterrey, three bodies were found dead along with a message from a criminal organization.
Monday, January 30
In Sinaloa, the commander of army forces in the state said that marijuana and poppy growers have been severely hampered by drought and that his forces are detecting fewer grow sites than in previous years. Another army spokesman said that the drought did not mean a drop-off in overall cartel production.
In Nuevo Leon, police announced the capture of a suspected Zeta who allegedly confessed to killing 75 people, at least 36 of whom were taken from passenger buses. Enrique Elizondo Flores, "El Arabe," was arrested on January 20 but authorities say they delayed the announcement to give them time to verify his claims. Over 90 people were killed in three bus attacks thought to have been carried out by the Zetas in January and March 2011.
In Ciudad Juarez, at least seven people were killed. In one incident, three gunmen were killed in a fire fight after attacking the police. At least eight municipal police officers have been killed in January in attacks that have been blamed on the New Juarez Cartel. In other incidents, a couple was murdered in an industrial park, a man was shot dead on a bus, and a body was found in a car after having been kidnapped on Sunday.
In Guasave, Sinaloa, three soldiers were killed during a fire fight with armed men. According to reports, an army patrol was chasing several vehicles with armed men who resisted. Several gunmen were also reported killed but the bodies were taken away. A pickup truck and several weapons were left abandoned at the scene. After the shooting, a tense standoff took place between soldiers and municipal police forces, who had ignored distress calls from the soldiers involved in the shooting.
In Monterrey, seven suspected Zetas were arrested on kidnapping and other charges. Two victims were rescued from their safe house.
Tuesday, January 31
In Mexico City, a top official confirmed that an army general and 29 of his troops are on trial for crimes they committed while operating in the Ojinaga, Chihuahua border area in 2008 and 2009. General Manuel Moreno and his underlings are accused of committing at least 10 killings and reselling seized narcotics, as well as stealing property during raids. They were originally charged in August 2009.
Off the coast of California, a motorboat laden with over a ton of marijuana was intercepted by authorities. Three Mexican nationals were arrested.
In Mexico City, Mexican prosecutors announced that three former Tamaulipas governors are being investigated. Authorities have declined to say why exactly the men are being investigated, however.
[Editor's Note: We are no longer going to keep a running tally of the death toll; the figures are too unreliable. The latest figures below were released by the Mexican government in January.]
Total Body Count for 2007 (approx.): 4,300
Total Body Count for 2008 (approx.): 5,400
Total Body Count for 2009 (approx.): 9,600
Total Body Count for 2010 (official): 15,273
Partial Body Count for 2011 (official): 12,093*
Total Body Count (official): 47,705*
* Official figures through September 30, 2011. Unofficial estimates put the entire year's death toll at around 16,000, meaning more than 50,000 people had been killed by the end of 2011.

Most recently, a prison riot in the state of Nuevo Leon has left 44 inmates dead and unknown numbers escaped. The story is that prison guards had been bribed by the paramilitary style criminal organization known as Los Zetas to allow access from the cell block holding Zetas affiliates to the cell block holding prisoners associated with their main rival, the Gulf cartel. A riot ensued in which some inmates escaped.
The Mexican government has announced that it will build 8 new prisons in response to this incident. How will more prisons address the problem of rampant government corruption?
What can you as an American or Canadian do about it?
1. If you must buy marijuana, only buy it from domestic sources whenever possible, such as medical dispensaries (where available) or good people who grow their own.
2. Grow your own marijuana.
3. NEVER use or buy cocaine, as almost all of it is distributed through Mexican drug cartels.
4. NEVER buy or use methamphetamine because much of it is now manufactured and distributed by Mexican drug cartels.
I feel that marijuana is a major cash cow for all of the violent cartels, because it is the most widely used illegal drug in the world and it is easily grown in most parts of Mexico. The amount of marijuana that is seized by law enforcement on the border far outweighs all other drugs, which leads me to believe that it is the number one money maker for the cartels. While drugs such as cocaine and meth have a much higher profit margin, they are not as widely used as marijuana. This is just speculation, as there are many factors to consider, such as the ease at which marijuana can be detected due to it's bulk and it's odor. This is just what I think.

Border Junkies: Addiction and Survival on the Streets of Juarez and El Paso, by Scott Comar (2011, University of Texas Press, 214 pp., $24.95 PB)
Border Wars, by Tom Barry (2011, MIT Press, 171 pp., $14.95 HB)
Dealing Death and Drugs: The Big Business of Dope in the US and Mexico, by Beto O'Rourke and Susie Byrd (2011, Cinco Puntos Press, 119 pp., $12.95 PB)
El Sicario: The Autobiography of a Mexican Assassin, edited by Molly Molloy and Charles Bowden (2011, Nation Books, 209 pp., $15.99 PB)
In addition to an ever-increasing death toll, now more than 50,000 since President Calderon sent in the army in December 2006, Mexico's drug wars are generating an increasing level of concern and interest in the US, including a burgeoning literature. Next week, we'll review a trio of new works that seek to describe the emergence and significance of the so-called cartels, but this week, we look at a quartet of books that focus on the drug wars (and the drug scene) along the border.
If there's anywhere in America more attuned to the Mexican drug wars—by which I mean the prohibition-related violence among competing drug trafficking organizations, between them and Mexican law enforcement and the military, and, sometimes, even between different factions of the Mexican security apparatus—it's El Paso, just across the Rio Grande from one of the epicenters of the drug trade and the violence, Ciudad Juarez.
That's reflected in these titles. One is written by a pair of El Paso politicians, two more are largely set in the El Paso-Ciudad Juarez bi-national metroplex, and the last covers the US border region of which El Paso is front and center. The view from El Paso, staring across the river at the killing and mayhem, can be frightening, but also enlightening.
In Dealing Death and Drugs, El Paso city council members Susie Byrd and Beto O'Rourke (he of the famous city council resolution calling for a discussion of legalization and now running for Congress) bring a home-town perspective on the drug wars, provide some lessons on the economics of the illicit marijuana business and present a concise, yet cogent, argument for legalizing weed as a means of weakening the cartels and reducing the violence.
Marijuana is critical for the cartels, Byrd and O'Rourke argue, because unlike cocaine, which must be purchased from producers elsewhere or methamphetamine, which requires imported precursor chemicals, the cartels control it from farm to market, generating profits each step of the way. They take you from the pot fields of the Sierra Madre Occidental, where a pound costs $23 to Juarez, where it goes for $73 a pound. Getting it past the border and into El Paso drives the price up to $240, and getting it past the Border Protection Service checkpoints a few miles into Texas gets it to its final US wholesale price of about $550 a pound.
US and Mexican law enforcement seized or eradicated 22 metric tons of Mexican weed in 2008, Byrd and O'Rourke note. That's as much as 90% of high end estimates of all the pot smoked in the US, which means either those estimates are way low or that the business is way profitable. And throwing billions of dollars at the problem through law enforcement hasn't helped.
Legalizing, regulating, and taxing the marijuana market is "the least bad" solution, Boyd and O'Rourke write. Their argument, like the book itself, is pithy, yet compelling, and, as Boyd notes in an afterword, even Calderon is starting to come around. But not policy-makers in the US.
With El Sicario, we take a deep, dark turn toward the underbelly of the Mexican drug wars. Border sage and drug war critic Charles Bowden and translator and Juarez body count keeper Molly Molloy bring the terrifying realities of the business into chilling focus through their interviews with a former cartel hitman now in hiding with a contract on his head. This may be the single scariest book I've read about the Mexican drug wars, not for its calm and collected accounts of horrifying acts of brutality, which can be truly stomach-turning, but for the picture it paints of absolutely corrupted and complicit law enforcement, including the military.
Can you imagine if you don't know whether that cop who just stopped you is going to write you a ticket or shoot you dead without warning, or kidnap and torture you because he's actually working for the cartels? That's the case in Mexico now. Our interlocutor in El Sicario attended the Chihuahua state police academy, rose to the rank of comandante, and underwent training by the FBI, all while carrying out killings, kidnappings, and tortures for the Juarez and Sinaloa cartels. Even more perversely, while he was running the anti-kidnapping squad for the state police, he was using police vehicles to kidnap people and transport drugs.
And he is by no means alone. According to the hit man, about a quarter of his graduating class at the police academy were on the cartel payroll—from the very beginning of their law enforcement careers! The Mexican police are heavily salted with cartel men; it's a long-term business strategy that has paid handsomely for the cartels, but has absolutely shredded any trust the public has in state and local law enforcement there.
But it's not just rotten on the Mexican side of the border. The hit man details how he and his colleagues transported tens of millions of dollars worth of drugs across the border and how he personally paid a US Customs officer $50,000 to let cars full of drugs get through. El Sicario shows that dirty knows no borders, even if the cartels are smart enough to keep the blood-letting almost entirely south of the border.
But there are other ways US law enforcement is benefiting from the Mexican drug wars. In Border Wars, journalist and Center for International Policy analyst Tom Barry uses a series of interlocking essays to argue that since the September 2001 Al Qaeda attacks, the US has spent billions of dollars "securing the border" against a triple threat of illegal immigration, drugs, and terror, and has accomplished little good, quite a bit of bad, and plenty of stupid.
Barry opens with the death of Jesus Manuel Galindo, who died for lack of proper medical treatment in 2008 in a privately operated, publicly owned federal immigration prison in remote Pecos, Texas. He recalls that until 2006, we typically handled illegal immigration administratively, often simply deporting Mexicans back across the Rio Grande. But since then, the Bush administration began treating illegal immigration as a criminal matter, and now some 20,000 people languish in those distant prisons. Barry paints chilling, Kafkasque scenes of assembly-line "justice" where judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys, all in the pay of the Us government, process dozens of shackled would-be immigrant laborers into the ever-expanding federal immigration detention system.
There is money to be made there, sucking off the federal teat, although more of it appears to go to lawyers, consultants, deal-makers, and lobbyists than to the desperate rural towns hoping a private prison will provide them with a semblance of an economy. There's even more money to be made by border sheriffs and border state law enforcement entities in the seemingly endless billions of Department of Homeland Security dollars to fight drugs and terror.
Barry takes us to Texas and Arizona border counties where the numbers show little violent crime, but the sheriffs and politicians cry to high heaven about "spill over violence," Korans found on the border, and the threat of narco-Hezbollah conspiracies, for which there is no evidence. Some of these counties are among the poorest in the nation, lacking social and public services, yet in one of them, the sheriff's department is so awash in federal grant money that each deputy has two official vehicles, one patrol car and one SUV.
Along the way, he exposes the ugliness of border security politics and some of it practitioners, such as Govs. Rick Perry of Texas and Jan Brewer of Arizona, who use a politics of fear and hate to firm up support among their most reactionary supporters, who hype non-existent violence on this side of the border, and who constantly tout their border security efforts "without help from Washington" even as they take in billions from Washington to pay for their loudly-touted initiatives. It's rank cynicism, opportunism, and hypocrisy at its worst, and Barry nails it.
For Barry, the central problem is our inability to enact comprehensive immigration reform, a goal always pushed further into the future as we "secure the border" first. And, he says, we have to separate national security from public safety. The gargantuan Department of Homeland Security should worry about terrorists; a separate Customs and Border Protection Service should deal with illegal immigration and drugs.
"The standard of success for our border policy shouldn't be how completely sealed and secured our border is," he writes, "but rather how well it is regulated. New regulatory frameworks for immigration and drug consumption are fundamental prerequisites for a more cost-effective border policy." And a more sane and human one.
Finally, with Border Junkies, University of Texas-El Paso borderlands historian Scott Comar takes us back to "the good old days" in Juarez, a decade ago, before the city earned its blood-drenched reputation. In an eye-opening work of auto-ethnography, Comar tells mainly his own story of his descent into abject addiction, in which he moved with appalling speed from owning his own moving truck to panhandling on the streets to feed his habit.
In telling his own story, though, Comar unveils a never-before-written-about world, that of the street junkies of Juarez. His account, based largely on his journal entries, details the day-to-day struggle of the border junkies, the strategies they adopt to survive and score—and not necessarily in that order—the kinship and friendship networks that envelop them, the heroin distribution systems that feed their insatiable appetites. For those with a taste for anthropological examinations of the junkie life, this is fascinating stuff, right up there with the work of Philippe Bourgois.
Border Junkies is notable in one other respect: I don't think there is one mention of the cartels in it. Comar recounts constant harassment by the Juarez police (and the El Paso police, too) and petty corruption, he mentions that some of his fellows belonged to gangs, though only passingly, but the existence of the cartels, the source of their dope, is so distant from their daily lives that is as if they don't exist.
Of course, that was before the death toll in Juarez started climbing to thousands every year. Now those street gangs that in Comar's time seemed to be engaged mainly in minor thuggery, a little smuggling, and posing with pistols have, in the pressure cooker of the Mexican drug wars, morphed into true killing machines like Barrio Azteca, the Artist Assasins, and La Linea. Those guys who quietly peddled smack on the corners or out of their houses in Comar's day died by the hundreds when the violence swept through just a few years later.
Wretched as the border junkie's existence is, it is doable. Comar did it for three years, commuting over the river to panhandle in El Paso, then back across to cop and nod. It was a gritty, miserable existence, but Comar makes it seem almost routine, banal. And, along the way, he has some interesting things to say about addiction and recovery, too.
Perhaps it's fitting to end with the image of the junkie straddling the border, because the root causes of Mexico's drug wars certainly do. Whether it's America's never-ending appetite for Mexican weed, the cartels' addiction to money and power, their alcohol and cocaine-numbed killers, or border state and federal law enforcement's addiction to immigration/drugs/terror funding booty, it's all entangled there on the line.
Mexico may be another country and, thankfully, the violence, at least, remains on that side so far, but we are all in this together. Legalizing marijuana or even ending drug prohibition in the US won't make the cartels magically disappear, but failing to do so will only ensure that they grow ever more entrenched, while continuing to provide sustenance to malign political forces and authoritarian, if not downright Orwellian, policing tendencies here.

Oh, hiii there! Did you forget my name while I was gone? I sure hope not. I apologize for the long absense, but I just enjoyed an unplugged vacation. How was your Christmas? How was your New Year's? Really, tell me! Our Christmas was great. We spent part of our time in Dallas, and then flew to Georgia for the rest. I'd never been to Georgia before, and I really enjoyed it! I geeked out in Civil War museums, shopped til I dropped with my new sister-in-law, and ate too much fried chicken at Mary Mac's. I've always wanted to eat at Mary Mac's, so it was a dream come true.
We flew back into Texas on New Year's eve, tossed back a few glasses of Prosecco with my Mom, Dad, and the wedding planner, and then promptly fell asleep before 10pm. I'm not proud of it, but it's my life.
The truth is, I missed y'all! And I certainly missed my kitchen. I've been toying around with the idea for a cookie made with grits for a few months. Every time I make grits, I love watching the pat of butter melt on top and swirling it in. But, a dessert with grits?! Now that sounds like something truly special.
You're going to love these soft and cakey cookies with a hint of lemon. And I'm not going to ask you to have leftover grits laying around—we're going to make them fresh in the microwave right before we bake the cookies. Easy! Let's do this!

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Ezra Pound may be considered one of the most powerful, disturbing, and enigmatic literary figures of the twentieth century. Often his public persona overshadowed his interest in being a poet who would be remembered for his poetry, but part of that was due to Pound's own unflagging energies and ambitions as an editor, as a friend to writers in exile from America, and as the "foreign correspondent" for Harriet Monroe's 1912 publication Poetry: A Magazine of Verse. He was responsible for the final version of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land (1922), he influenced William Carlos Williams, he was instrumental in getting James Joyce published, and he spent time with Ernest Hemingway in Italy. He was the guiding voice behind the Imagist movement in poetry early in the twentieth century, and his association with Benito Mussolini still stands in infamy. Pound's time in a temporary detention center in Pisa, Italy, still stands in infamy—and led to The Pisan Cantos (1948)—as does his later imprisonment in St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C., from 1945 to 1970.
Many who attempt to analyze Pound's literary career are so struck by its richness that they miss the kernel at the core of his poetry: the Cantos. While Pound worked on other types of poetry and poetic movements, his mind and his focus remained on the Cantos, which he conceived of as a twentieth century epic. Pound worked on the Cantos for nearly fifty years, weaving scores of subjects and themes into the longest important poetic work of the modern era. When he set out on his poetic odyssey, Pound conceived of his poem as a modern version of Dante Alighieri's La divina commedia (c. 1320; The Divine Comedy, 1802); his intention was to mirror Dante's epic organization into "inferno," "purgatory," and "heaven." Pound, following Dante, called the individual units of the epic cantos. Small press publications of parts of the Cantos appeared upon occasion, but the poem as a whole was not published until 1948. The publication date was, perhaps, meant to coincide with the availability of The Pisan Cantos.
After his release from St. Elizabeths, Pound returned to Italy, where he had about five years of peace. Some who visited him there related that he continued to work on his masterpiece, but there is little, if any, of that work remaining.
Pound's poem Hugh Selwyn Mauberley (1920), also considered a classic in the English language, is often discussed in reference to the style of the Cantos, although the Cantos are much more ambitious. In Hugh Selwyn Mauberley, Pound uses a rhetorical persona who reflects on a wide variety of experiences. In many similar ways, the first sixteen cantos use a reactive rhetorical narrator, and at times these two figures have similar interests—not surprising, since the poems began to be composed at about the same time.
There is another influence on Pound's work, that of Eliot's narrator in The Waste Land. The difference between Eliot and Pound is clear: Eliot presents a rhetoric rich in narrative, while Pound presents a rhetoric steeped in speculation, myth, and ancient history. Some critics see the first canto as a reflection on Odysseus, and they believe that the Odysseus references are broad rather than specific, but if readers follow the Odysseus beginning, they are able to become grounded in specific myth.
In the Cantos, Pound displays his knowledge and his ability to present it without introductions, borders, or transitions. The poem is as much instructive as it is reflective, and it is in...

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Pound began writing the Cantos in 1915, published the first ones in 1917, published his first collection in 1925, and continued on them for most of the rest of his long life. He finally abandoned them after fifty-three years of effort. The Cantos are his most notable work, crammed with allusions, learning, splendid poetry, musical notations, Chinese ideograms, bitter invective and insults, baffling transitions and private jokes, and characters from Pound's personal life as well as from world history. They form an immensely long work, and the Cantos have caused despair in ordinary readers and produced an entire Pound industry among literary scholars.
Although it is not immediately apparent, there is a loose but definite structure to the poem. Crucial concepts reappear throughout the work, embodied in specific actors who are either actual historical figures or characters from literature or mythology. These concepts can also be expressed by reference to images from the natural world or by artistic creations—specific examples of music, architecture, poetry—which Pound thought significant.
In this way, the nineteenth century American president Martin van Buren appears to underscore the idea of economic justice, while a single column in a cathedral, signed by its carver, represents the ideal of true art as opposed to mass-produced imitations. Because Pound presents these images in quick flashes without overt connections, the reader must rely on juxtaposition rather than narration to discover the meanings. Despite their expansive nature, and although they were composed over a period of half a century, the Cantos contain only a few major subjects: the importance of knowledge and art, the power of nature, the need for economic justice, and the necessity to order human society in accord with natural rhythms and cycles.
As befits a work that attempts to survey all human history, the Cantos contain many changes—metamorphoses, or shifts from one form to another. It was a concept pervasive in Greek mythology, and a continual fascination for Pound. These metamorphoses can be for good or evil; the first lead to harmony, while the second cause decay in society and culture. The chief villain for Pound was economic injustice, which inevitably changed societies for the worse. Usury, the lending of money at excessive rates of interest, was Pound's primary economic concern, and he railed against it powerfully in his famous "Usury Canto," XLV:
With usura hath no man a...

Agencies Issue Bank Secrecy Act Examination Procedures Relating to Section 326 of USA PATRIOT Act
July 29, 2004
Circular No. 11632 | |
To All Depository Institutions and Others The federal financial institutions regulatory agencies issued Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) procedures for examining each domestic and foreign banking organization's customer identification program (CIP). This program is required by section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act (codified in the BSA at 31 U.S.C. 5318(1)). The procedures are designed to help financial institutions fully implement the new CIP requirements and facilitate a consistent supervisory approach among the federal financial institutions regulatory agencies. The Federal Reserve Board has issued a supervisory letter (SR 04-13), dated July 28, 2004, to notify the supervisory staff and domestic and foreign banking organizations supervised by the Federal Reserve about the new BSA procedures. The USA PATRIOT Act signed into law on October 26, 2001, established new and enhanced measures to prevent, detect, and prosecute money laundering and terrorism. The regulation implementing section 326 of the Act requires each financial institution to implement a written CIP that includes certain minimum requirements and is appropriate for its size and type of business. The CIP must be incorporated into the financial institution's anti-money laundering compliance program, which is subject to approval by the financial institution organization's board of directors. Compliance with the regulation was required by October 1, 2003. Press release Contact:

With granola do you really need a sweetener? I've been away from sugar so long I don't even like it on many foods! If you have to have a sweet why not a drizzle of honey, a dash of brown sugar or real maple syrup? I'm not into all this fake stuff! I make warm apples with just cinnamon and love i |

Really good--I put a little erythritol instead of splenda (not a fan of chemically derived sugar substitutes). This felt like a sweet "breakfast out"--and the fiber from the apple made it filling. Meawhile, it has fewer calories than my normal breakfast! Great! |

You should wash, core and dice apple. Most of the vitamins are in and just under the peel! You are throwing away the most beneficial part of the apple! I also use less granola and honey instead of Splenda, which isn't good for you and can exacerbate certain illnesses. Sent with love |

I made this for breakfast and it was great, but I did not use the Splenda. I think I will add some honey and brown sugar next time to help soften the granola a bit. I also liked some else's idea of warming up the apples in a skillet. |

By Michael Reiss
Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Or rather, the hand that signs your paychecks. One of the most important lessons in your career will be how you handle working under a supervisor and reporting to a lead. However you characterize your relationship to the boss, there are varying degrees of professionalism that you should always maintain (and as a manager, I should know). Whether you like your supervisor, respectfully work together or hold them in total disdain, it is important to keep the lines of communication open and have frequent face-to- face meetings. Keep these five simple reminders in the forefront as you pursue a career at any level to ensure professional success.
- Don't be full of surprises. Make sure your boss is kept up to date on your current work to limit future disagreements and confusion. Honesty and clarity is the best policy.
- Keep track of your all your accomplishments, big or small. If you ever seek a promotion or raise, it is vital for the boss to be aware of your recent accomplishments without having to send a reminder.
- If you need work covered, cover your bases. If you need to be out of the office for any reason due to sickness or handling a family emergency, your boss needs to be kept up to date on your work so she can cover it without losing steam.
- Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Let's hope this uncomfortable situation doesn't happen to you. But unfortunately, many people let their egos get the best of them and some workers justify that a climb to the top warrants squashing those they feel are threats to their ascent. If you are not getting along with your boss or colleagues and suspect their intentions when it comes to compromising your position, maintain close contact. It may seem counter-intuitive, but this will help monitor the situation to limit any potential damage to your reputation.
- Spend a little bit of quality time.The more time you spend with your boss (during work) the more time you have to build your unique relationship and get a handle on their personality. Develop rapport and a deeper understanding that allows your work to get approved and completed that much sooner.
These tips will help to snag stellar recommendations, leave you without burned bridges and a sense of ethical boundaries that keep you in high regard.

Arnaud Laprévote came to Mandriva by an interesting route. His Free&ALter Soft company founded in 1996 became part of Linbox as Linbox FAS in 2001. Linbox, in turn, was acquired by Mandriva in 2007.
Starting off as R&D manager, Laprévote has now been promoted to CEO by Mandriva's board of directors. He will also hold the CTO and director of R&D positions.
Remember when Mandriva used to be relevant? Well, no, I guess Mandriva was never really relevant, but Mandrake once was.
I used to be a pretty ardent supporter of Mandrake, and maintained my own custom package repository for my own use and that of my clients. But then they went off on this education tangent that went nowhere, and merged with Conectiva, and let Ubuntu get way ahead of them in terms of hardware support and user experience. They dropped the ball. Glad to see they're still around, but unless they continue to exist primarily as a Linux support provider for the French government, I kind of wonder what the point is.

Quentin Tarantino, George Lucas, and most other directors started somewhere small.
So have several local filmmakers who put their eyes to the lens for the seventh Sequim Student Film Festival at 7 p.m. on April 20.
The event offers Sequim students in grades six-12 the opportunity to create any movie they could imagine so long as it's tasteful and under seven minutes.
This year sees 12 entries and a number of firsts for the festival with the first seventh-grade team, the first foreign-language film, the first international documentary, the first robot film, and the first instructional video.
Films range from documentaries on becoming a firefighter ("The Explorers") or the local area ("Sequim, Washington"), to comedic spoofs ("How to Make a Movie"), awareness videos ("Cowboys Versus Zombies: A Buckle Story") and the fantastical ("Ali in Wunderland.")
Students are competing for college scholarships worth $1,000, $750, and $500. Students can win up to $3,000 for first, $2,250 for second, and $1,500 for third, to be divided among team members. An independent panel of judges selects the winners based on content, presentation, and production techniques.
Prior to the film festival, a spaghetti dinner is held to benefit scholarships.
Sequim High School senior Skyler Lewis, 18, and junior Torrie McIntyre, 17, are returning to the film festival with their documentary "Reduction."
Last year they entered "The Outsiders," a film that Lewis said people mistook for a comedy.
While brainstorming for this year's festival, they axed an idea about hunting trolls because they just didn't see how it could work.
McIntyre then came up with the idea of "Reduction," about the reduction of agriculture in Sequim and Clallam County. The students interviewed local sources on farming that identified causes of that decline and solutions to promote agriculture.
"It was different from what we normally do," McIntyre said about her film. "We wanted to focus on real things that affect us today."
Lewis said they learned a lot about farms in Sequim while filming.
"We learned about the growth of mini-farms and the buy-local movement, and ways to support farms and local stores."
To up their game, he said, they got a new camera and microphone and worked on several elements that judges were looking for: good lighting, sound and story.
"It puts off a feeling of a real documentary," Lewis said.
For their film, they incorporated stop-motion animation, still pictures and film and tried out a method of attaching the camera with a suction cup to their car.
Earlier this year, they participated in a workshop to make their own mini-movie with other students. They learned details of camera angles, lighting and sound and watched last year's movies.

This is a nice park and they accept Passport America, the reason for the cheaper rate, staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint is my site was tight to get my rig backed into between the trees, I could have asked for another site but I made it. We would stay there again but check the sites.

A very nice park with all the amenities. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is the gravel roads were a little rough. The staff were excellent and every thing we needed was there.

We were in the older section. It was tight for our rig but it is a beautiful park with nice amenities. There are wonderful bike trails. It is located in the city so shopping is readily available. We will stay there again.

This is an older park with new owners who over and above will to try to serve you. The restrooms were spotless. Lots of seasonal campers with kids but they seemed to be well behaved. Noise was not a problem. This would be a nice campground for a family.

This is it, the day I've been dreading for 3 months. Today is the day I board a plane that will take me to Heathrow and then DFW. I realize that I must return to my American life; college, pets, sisters, preparing for the dreaded GRE. After my first month here I called my parents and my dad was worried that I wasn't going to come home. I assumed he was just being funny about the whole "don't get eaten by a lion" thing but he was worried I wasn't going to get on my plane because I was having too much of a good time. Well don't worry Dad, I'm coming home!
I came to South Africa to learn about veterinary medicine in game animals but I got a whole lot more bang for my buck. I met people from all over the world; Holland, Canada, Taiwan, Australia, England and many more. I met people who are similar and completely different from me, students accepted to and declined from vet schools, kids on gap years, game farmers, trophy hunters, the upperclass, the lowerclass, people I hope to keep in touch with for as long as possible. I even spent 2 weeks on a project with a Kappa Delta sister! While I was here I scaled cliffs, ran from Buffalo, played with animals that could eat me, tasted new foods, attempted to learn more Afrikaans, saw every animal present in The Lion King, tried to resuscitate a giraffe and enhanced my pool skills (who am I kidding I'm still horrible at playing pool). As cliché as it sounds, traveling to South Africa has taught me a lot about myself and what I'm capable of.
I just want to thank everyone who helped me go on my summer journey; Kim Sotman, Lauren Mims and her family, Leanne Lowry, Stephens College, the Russell family, and my family members. I want to send über thanks to my parents, Lisa and John McCurdy, who allowed their only child to travel to a third world country for the whole summer without question.
See you later South Africa, I'll be back as soon as possible!

Product Description
David Chandler explores the concept of 'global ideology' and how it impacts on conflict, security and development policy-making, explaining why 'the global' is such a damaging construction and exposing the political vacuum at the heart of common perceptions of global politics.
He argues that the pre-eminence of the global, whether in terms of global governance, global security or global resistance, is predicated on a lack rather than a presence. It is the lack of clear sites and articulations of power, the lack of clear security threats and the lack of clear political programmes or movements of resistance that drives the concept of international relations in global terms.
This wide-ranging analysis is a perfect antidote for students frustrated with the abundant but vague literature on globalisation.

I used colored pencils and some gamsol to color my dogwood, it is stamped on kraft cardstock first. I really like how colored pencils look on kraft cardstock, gives the color a bit more depth I think. After coloring my image, I carefully trimmed it out, this is kind of a chore but so worth the extra effort for a special card. Or if you didn't want to trim the whole thing, consider just trimming out the main flower and popping it up to give your card some dimension.
Before adhering the trimmed out flower, I stamped the Dream Text Background on a white cardbase using Frayed Burlap Distress ink, I added some Spun Sugar and Old Paper Distress inks around the edges too. I also trimmed a strip of pink cardstock and punched a scalloped edge along the top before adding a sentiment (from Happy Messages Perfectly Clear Set) , button and some coordinating twine. I love how all these simple embellishments allow the flower to stand out and be the star of the card.
Now just a few of my thoughts about the Jumbo Cling stamps from Stampendous:

This year's end-of-season Greek comedy by Genesius Guild, The Acharnians, is high on political humor, musical numbers, and sharply funny barbs at the expense of local organizations – especially Genesis Health System and Trinity Regional Health System (now UnityPoint Health) – and the cities of Moline, Davenport, and Rock Island. And I was smiling from ear to ear during almost the entirety of Saturday's performance, tickled by the clever jokes, amusing songs, and even the groan-worthy puns.

Since first experiencing one of Genesius Guild's end-of-season comedies two summers ago, I've eagerly anticipated playwright/director Don Wooten's witty work each subsequent year. His sharp, humorous, sometimes biting rewrites of Aristophanes comedies abound with political, pop-culture, and theatre references at the local and national levels. And while I've not had the honor of being personally referenced in one of his jokes – at least not while I was present – this year's The Frogs features hilariously pointed jabs at almost every theatre company in the Quad Cities area, with Saturday's performance the funniest of the three annual Guild spoofs I've yet seen.

Christopher Thomas could sell me anything. On Thursday night, he was peddling the character of Harold Hill in a preview performance of Quad City Music Guild's The Music Man, and Thomas plays the part with such bombastic charm – and just a hint of smarm – that despite knowing of the character's swindling intentions, I was buying his Hill's shtick hook, line, and sinker, right along with the good people of River City.

Michael King has appeared in so many Genesius Guild productions, and has delivered such consistently outstanding performances, that it's easy to take the actor/director's copious talents for granted. Yet the experience of watching him as the scheming Richard III in the Guild's Henry the Sixth: Richard, Duke of York - the concluding half of director Don Wooten's two-part presentation of Henry plays - is so startling, exhilarating, and fresh that it's almost as though you're seeing the actor for the very first time. Stage work as profoundly inspired as King's is a night of unforgettable theatre unto itself. Then again, very little about this production isn't a thrill.

The City of Toledo has received a $1,578,723 workers' compensation rebate from the State of Ohio, and on Friday the Bell Administration submitted to council a detailed plan to spend that windfall.
Besides earmarking half of that money to cover police and fire overtime for this year, the plan calls for increasing the upcoming police class from 50 to 65, and the upcoming fire class from 30 to 50.
Deputy Mayor Shirley Green says boosting public safety personnel levels is a high priority, as many police officers and firefighters are preparing for retirement.
"We started in a hole in terms of staffing for the safety forces, and we've hired classes for the fire and police departments in all of the last 3 years and we want to continue to do so," she said. "The opportunity to increase both those class sizes is great."
The proposed spending breakdown is as follows: Increase police class size - $278,823, police overtime - $200,000, increase fire class - $132,310, fire overtime - $600,000, senior program supplies/services - $1,700, athletic programs supplies/services - $3,000, ice rink supplies/services - $14,000, pools supplies/services - $70,290, park maintenance supplies/services - $88,400, cemeteries supplies/services - $112,000, downtown landscaping supplies/services - $78,200.
Council will consider the request as early as Tuesday.
