Think of your worst moment as an athlete. Recall how it felt. Maybe you missed a free throw to win a game. Maybe you blew out your knee. Maybe you lost the state championship game.
Most often, it's about falling just short of something good. Feel lucky to have that sort of pain, for there's something much worse in sports: Knowing you didn't even try. That you quit.
It's not much of a stretch to say that the worst moment for every member of the 2012 Colorado football team took place on Sept. 15 of last season. That's when the Buffaloes went to Fresno State and got vivisected 69-14. It was a quintessential white-flag performance for a team that already was riding a horrible 0-2 start, having lost the previous weekend to an FCS team.
When critics of former coach Jon Embree want to counter those of us who cringed over firing a coach in just his second year, that Fresno State game was exhibit A.
Fresno State led 35-0 after one quarter. The Bulldogs, a good team but hardly Oregon or Alabama, led 55-7 at halftime. Colorado was outgained 665 yards to 278. The Bulldogs rolled up 288 yards rushing.
AP writers are typically restrained when describing a game, but the story on this one noted, "The Buffaloes got there by playing perhaps their worst half of football ever."
New Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre is the sort who tries to fill the present moment with a surfeit of enthusiasm. He's not a look-back-in-horror sort of guy. He's what's right now and what's next. His team is 2-0 and playing better than just about anyone imagined it would.
And yet... he knows exactly what happened last year. And he's fairly certain his present players who experienced the Fresno State meltdown haven't forgotten. Yes, what happened last year matters for Colorado as it prepares to play host to Fresno State on Saturday.
"I think with any competitor it does," MacIntyre said. "For them to say it doesn't, I think they'd be lying. It's got to be sticking in the back of their minds, hopefully motivating them to prepare this week for the game."
It's not unreasonable to expect Colorado to look completely different on Saturday compared to last year. This team has found its mojo. Not only has it won its first two games, it has stared down critical moments in both victories when the momentum appeared to be turning against the Buffaloes. They also seem to be enjoying themselves. That matters a bunch, particularly for a team that's not going to overwhelm anyone with its physical talent.
MacIntyre traces the program's frown being turned upside down to the midpoint of spring practices. Football practices are not supposed to be dour affairs. And yet that's what MacIntyre saw.
"It was just like pulling teeth. They weren't enjoying it or having fun," he said, adding that during a scrimmage, "Nobody got excited, nobody congratulated anybody."
So after said scrimmage he gathered his players.
"I told them, 'Hey, guys, we got better on the football field but we didn't get better as a team. You're not enjoying what you're doing. You've got to find some passion and have fun playing,'" he said.
Things changed thereafter, as leaders stepped up and the players remembered that they were, egad, playing football, which is fun.
Fresno State, however, represents a substantial step up from Colorado State and Central Arkansas. The Bulldogs are led by quarterback Derek Carr, a third-year senior starter who is a future NFL draft choice. He's completing 71 percent of his passes with eight touchdowns and just one interception. He leads an offense that doesn't attack downfield very often but instead uses a precise array of screens and short passes. Carr is hard to pressure because he gets the ball away quickly, and he's very good at finding an open guy.
The Buffs defense will have to pick its spots. So far, the unit has been opportunistic, particularly at creating turnovers at critical moments. The offense can't afford to waste too many possessions. The Bulldogs defense is not terribly strong, so this could be a high-scoring affair. CU receiver Paul Richardson might need to become the first Pac-12 receiver to produce three consecutive games with more than 200 yards receiving. It also would help if the Buffs got their stagnant running game going against a poor run defense.
There's also the issue of severe flash floods hitting Boulder and surrounding areas. The campus has been closed for two days. It remains to be seen how this might affect the game.
Fresno State, which is looking to jump into the national rankings, is a 10-point road favorite, so the expectation is Colorado would do well just to keep it close. Close is certainly better than what transpired last season.
But expectations for the Buffs are changing. And they might play a bit angry on Saturday. They should.

RC Radio - Stephen Lemons of the Phoenix New Times 05-27-2015
in Politics
Stephen Lemons the writer of the Feathered Bastard blog at the Phoenix New Times will return as my guest tonight on RC Radio. Stephen was the reporter who broke the story last June that Sheriff Joe Arpaio was using two top deputies from the MCSO and the Cold Case Posse to work with scam artist Dennis Montgomery to dig up dirt on federal Judge Murray Snow and then AG Eric Holder. Stephens story was confirmed by none other than Sheriff Arpaio himself under oath when Judge Snow handed Apraio a copy of Stephen's article and began questioning him about it.
We also learned that Stephen was correct when he revealed that Arpaio was investigating comments allegedly made by Judge Snow's wife to an Apraio supporter at a local Mexican restaurant. Arpaio had hired a PI through his attorney to check out the incident. Join us for what should be a fascinating interview.
Call 347 324-5546 if you have a question for Mr. Lemons. The show starts at 9 PM EDT.

REFLECTING HIS GIFTS with Sissy Ellison and STEVE COLLINS
in Christianity
I've been waiting to have this dear man, Steve Collins on REFLECTING HIS GIFTS for a long time. What a story! Steve has truly made lemonade out of lemons. He waited expectantly for a heart transplant to save his life and ended up afterward with paralysis. Though he may be bound to a wheel chair his spirit and his heart are determined to live life to the fullest. He writes songs, tells jokes, and lives his life with gusto and humor. Join us for a most lively and encouraging conversation.
Entrepreneur Steve Zielinski of Crazy Steve's Pickles & Salsa
in Radio
Pickles have a long history going back to 2400 BC. Aristotle thought that cured cucumbers had healing properties, and Julius Caesar fed pickles to his men as he believed that they offered physical and spiritual strength. Cleopatra believed her beauty came from eating large amounts of pickles. Ever wonder who brought pickling to the New World? Shout out to Christopher Columbus who grew cucumbers in order to pickle them. In the 1500s, the area which is now New York City had the largest group of Dutch commercial picklers. Americans as a whole eat more than 2.5 million pounds of pickles, and dill pickles are twice as popular as sweet pickles. What do you do when your garden blesses you with an abundance of cucumbers? Steve Zielinski shared his cucumber crop with friends, family, and co-workers, but discovered everyone had their limit on the crunchy cukes. So when life gives you lemons, or in this case cucumbers, you make pickles. And in July of 2009 Crazy Steve's Pickles & Salsa was born. Steve's products are found in 25+ stores and have been sold nationwide. Varieties include Black Bean & Corn Salsa, Green Smokin Salsa, Mesquite Fire Roasted Salsa, Shot Over the Rim Spicy Bloody Mary Mix, Badass Barnacle Bloody Mary Mix, Cajun Cukes, and Let the Sunshine Pickles. Products are gluten free, vegan friendly, low sodium, natural ingredients, and feature unique flavors. Crazy Steve's Foundation aims to make the world a better place by donating to charities in education, the environment, health, human services, community development, international causes, and arts and culture. Steve has another mission—he's running for NJ State Assembly's 12th District in the Green Party. After the interview, please check After Hours with Jersey Coastal Live for more info.

Do not let misery find a home!
in Prayer
"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade," is an old phrase with lasting meaning to encourage people to make the best out of any situation in which they may find themselves. Many may feel that because of what they have been through the above phrase is impossible. In actuality, it is not so much what happens to us that brings sadness, disappointment or despair it is how we interpret what life throws at us. In the face of adversity, do not let misery find a home! When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Listen to this episode to learn how!

Through The Looking Glass Welcomes The Talented Author Michelle Eastman
in Family
This is an interview that you will not want to miss! Grab the kids for a great interview with my guest Michelle Eastman, they will love her special story of the Legend of Dust Bunnies!
The Legend of Dust Bunnies, a Fairy's Tale is a lighthearted story about a very important topic: Being Yourself. This story will open your eyes to a world of dirt and dust that you never knew could be so magical and fun! Did you know that dust fairies come into our homes at night and spread dust, spider webs, and even spit crumbs into the carpet? They do! It's true! Well, not all fairies. Artie is different. He doesn't like messes, and he doesn't fit in. When given lemons you're supposed to make lemonade, right? This story does one better, it turns DUST into DUST BUNNIES. The Legend of Dust Bunnies is the delightful story about how and why a misfit Dust Fairy turns dust into cuddly dust bunnies and the joyful aftermath that follows. It's an ingenious story that will have families looking at dust bunnies in a new light, and may actually give kids an excuse NOT to clean their rooms. It's a perfect gift for a girl or boy.

The Ashes 2013-14
'Ashes tour becoming reminiscent of the 90s'
George Dobell reports on another mediocre England display in their tour match against an inexperienced Chairman's XI in Alice Springs

A brilliant and honest summary of England's predicament.
Ahhhh, the good old days!
Pretty tiresome hyperbole here - if this is a failed Ashes tour, it will be much like the majority of such tours in the last 60 years, not just the 1990s. 'Greatest achievement', 'Best team of all time' - more hyperbole from the same author.
Before Brisbane, the pundits reckoned that, yes it will be tougher but England should win without too much drama, now after the first match at the Gabba, it's "if England can win this series it will rank up there amongst their greatest achievements". What a difference a Test makes.
Sounds like a fair summary from George Dobell. But I would welcome a criticism of the management which also seems to resemble something from the 90s.

Theatre HD
- Pointer Remote is fun
- Attractive UI
- Powerful hardware
There's Ethernet and WiFi, and we went with the latter, which hooked up without a problem, though Kodak recommends you go the wired route for serious usage -- we're rebels like that.
Set-up is a breeze, with desktop side Kodak EasyShare digital display software (also used to manage Kodak wireless picture frames) that automagically seeks out media. Unfortunately it's rather indiscriminate. For instance, it was happy to tell the Theatre HD box all about our iTunes Movie Store purchases, which the box failed miserably at playing -- after taking ages to load, buffer and then actually play a black screen with occasional "glitchy" noises. Also, it builds previews for certain file types, but not for others -- it's a bit of a crap shoot. Overall we'd say we're very pleased with how easy it is to track down our computer's media, but at the end of the day the software and / or the set-top box need to do a better job of making sense of all that data.
(Codec support is super extensive, other than the aforementioned lack of iTunes Movies and a failure to track down our Zune tracks. Most everything else on our hard drive played without a hitch, including full HD 1080p 30fps video).
There's also what we would call "non-native" support for a myriad of services like Facebook, RSS feeds and Weather through Kodak's FrameChannel partnership. FrameChannel works with lazy photoframe manufacturers to package RSS feeds and the like as images that can then be streamed to the device, complete with oversized and incredibly annoying advertisements. Given the fact that coding an RSS app is practically a "Hello World" exercise these days, it's extremely disappointing that Kodak didn't do that itself.
Actually using all this stuff in the living room, Pointer Remote in hand, is a combination of incredible intuitiveness and occasional frustration. Kodak has a fairly simple menu structure, with a lot of sub categories underneath, and persistent shortcuts to music, help, settings and home. The animations to drill through the menus are smooth, but every action seems to bring with it a slightly annoying delay -- you can't blaze through anything. The good news is that you never feel like you're thumbing through an unending list of options, thanks to the quick, precise pointer movements and the familiar scroll wheel. The back button on the Remote quickly gets us out of our rabbit trails, but we still found the deep folder structures a bit overwhelming at times. The player also had a nasty habit of not showing a picture on the first try. We'd click a pic, get a buffering icon, and then get blackness. We had to back out and click again before we actually saw the image -- this happened both online and on locally-stored images.
The most basic functionality of the box -- popping in a memory card, skimming through the pictures, and building slideshows out of it -- works as effortlessly as you would think, but unfortunately the only online upload option the entire device offers is Kodak Gallery. Newsflash: we don't use Kodak Gallery, and we don't know anyone that does. We're sure that these strange creatures exist, but until they represent a majority of the population, we'd really appreciate being able to upload content to Flickr, YouTube, Facebook and so forth.
We'd say the main problem here is that Kodak hasn't quite managed to make a product easy enough to use that we could recommend to the people who would actually get the most use out of it: our parents. There were enough breaks in the usability and layers of complication to make it too frustrating to the basic user -- for instance, the box found our PC automatically, but once that PC feel asleep and was reawoken, Theatre HD couldn't find the PC's content until we manually re-added it in the settings menu. On the flip side, there's not enough power or capability here to appeal to the power user -- especially with devices like media extenders and the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii offering most of these features (or more) for less cost. Add in some Netflix, Flickr and YouTube uploads and patch up some of these usability problems and then maybe we'll talk.
The good news is that Kodak has a wonderful box and a wonderful input mechanism on its hands, and if it's willing to put in the work and capital to build a truly great piece of 2.0 software for it, we might have something here that's worth the $299 asking price. Oh, and let use the Pointer Remote with our computers... pretty please?

The company's stock falls 28% in the latest Online Retail Index.
Groupon Inc. suffered a 28% decrease in its stock price last week after reporting disappointing Q3 financial results. That was the largest percentage drop in last week's Internet Retailer Online Retail Index, in a week that brought more losses than gains.
While Groupon enjoyed a 32% increase in revenue in Q3, the daily deal provider's sales gain fell short of analyst expectations. The weekly Online Retail Index, which tracks the stocks of online retailers and e-commerce technology providers, as a whole decreased by 4.5% last week. That put the e-commerce index behind the broader stock market, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased by 2.12% and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index increased by 2.43% in value last week.
Of the 25 stocks in the Online Retail Index, nine had increases, while the stocks of 16 companies decreased in value.
Following are the best-performing stocks last week in the Online Retail Index and the percentage gain in stock price for each:
• Bidz.com, 16.3%
• Digital River, 2.2%
• Netflix, 1.3%
• Systemax, 1.0%
• Overstock.com, 0.7%
Following are the Online Retail Index stocks that performed least well last week and the percentage decrease in stock price for the week:
• Groupon, -27.9%
• U.S. Auto Parts Network, -19.0%
• NutriSystem, -13.3%
• Coastal Contacts, -13.2%
• LivePerson, -11.1%

OCAHO has been busy issuing an incredible rate of decisions on I-9 penalty cases, making it nearly impossible to keep up. Some of the latest decisions, though, are worth highlighting in todays article.

This is a quick update of the impact of Federal Government Shutdown on various immigration related government functions / agencies. Please note that the situation is fluid and the various agencies are updating their status on a regular basis. Effective October 1, 2013, please note the following:
USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services)
DOS (Department of States (Embassies and Consulates))
EOIR & BIA (US Immigration Court and Appeals System)
The U.S. has long been a destination for students around the world. They come to attend the nations colleges and universities, and many wish to stay to pursue job opportunities and make their lives here, but our immigration system throws up barriers at every step of the way. Foreign students add billions of dollars to the U.S. economy each year, and those who remain are more likely to start businesses and contribute to innovation than their American counterparts. Right now, as the economy struggles back to life, its hard to imagine letting such opportunities go to waste. Growing frustration with this dilemma is leading more and more college presidents, professors, and higher education administrators across the country to declare their support for improving the nations immigration policies.
Most recently, college and university leaders sent letters to their congressional representatives to call for action on immigration reform legislation so that the country can remain competitive globally. The presidents, chancellors, and deans from colleges in 10 statesArkansas, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Utah, Tennessee, and Utahsigned onto the letters released by the Partnership for a New American Economy. We ask you to work together to develop a comprehensive, bipartisan solution
The L non-immigrant classification is for intracompany transferees who are either employed in a managerial or executive capacity (L1-A) or who
possess certain specialized knowledge of the employers products, processes, or procedures (L1-B); and such knowledge can normally be considered
as proprietary information and thus confined to employees of that company.
This bifurcated non-immigrant worker category is statutorily defined at INA §101(a)(15)(L); 8 USC
§1101(a)(15)(L) as follows:
(a) As used in this chapter
* * * * *
(15) The term immigrant means every alien except an alien who is within one of the following classes of nonimmigrant aliens
(L) subject to section 1184(c)(2) of this title [INA section 214(c)(2)], an alien who, within 3 years preceding the time of his application for admission
into the United States, has been employed continuously for one year by a firm or corporation or other legal entity or an affiliate or subsidiary thereof and who seeks to enter the United States
temporarily in order to continue to render his services to the same employer or a subsidiary or affiliate thereof in a capacity that is managerial, executive, or involves specialized knowledge, and the alien spouse and minor children
of any such alien if accompanying him or following to join him;
Additional definitions come into play when adjudicating requests for classification as an intracompany transferee, a manager, an executive or in possession of specialized knowledge. Lets explore some of the key legal definitions involved from the statute and
For purposes of qualifying the petitioner, a business relationship must be established between the foreign employer and
the U.S. employer (petitioner) and meet the applicable legal definitions. See INA § 101(a)(28) [8 USC § 1101(a)(28)].
(28) The term organization means, but is not limited to, an organization, corporation, company, partnership, association, trust, foundation or fund; and
includes a group of persons, whether or not incorporated, permanently or temporarily associated together with joint action on any subject or subjects.
As noted in the L classification definition, the non-immigrant worker must be coming to the U.S. to work for the same employer or a subsidiary or affiliate thereof.
Turning momentarily to a sister section of the statute which is also in play, we will find more information than desired but also, another key definition.
However, in addition to that definition of specialized knowledge we find three important terms, in subparagraphs (F), that are not
statutorily defined. They are: affiliate, subsidiary, or parent. These three terms among others will be discussed further below the
following excerpt from the statute.
§1184. Admission of nonimmigrants.
(2)(A) The [Secretary of Homeland Security]shall provide for a procedure under which an importing employer which meets requirements established by the
[Secretary of Homeland Security]may file a blanket petition to import aliens as nonimmigrants described in section 1101(a)(15)(L) of this title instead of
filing individual petitions under paragraph (1) to import such aliens. Such procedure shall permit the expedited processing of visas for admission of
aliens covered under such a petition.
(B) For purposes of section 1101(a)(15)(L) of this title, an alien is considered to be serving in a capacity involving specialized knowledge with respect to a company if the alien has a special knowledge of the company product and its
application in international markets or has an advanced level of knowledge of processes and procedures of the company.
(C) The [Secretary of Homeland Security]shall provide a process for reviewing and acting upon petitions under this subsection with respect to nonimmigrants
described in section 1101(a)(15)(L) of this title within 30 days after the date a completed petition has been filed.
(D) The period of authorized admission for
(i) a nonimmigrant admitted to render services in a managerial or executive capacity under section 1101(a)(15)(L) of this title shall not exceed 7 years,
(ii) a nonimmigrant admitted to render services in a capacity that involves specialized knowledge under section 1101(a)(15)(L) of this title shall not
exceed 5 years.
(E) In the case of an alien spouse admitted under section 1101(a)(15)(L) of this title, who is accompanying or following to join a principal alien admitted
under such section, the [Secretary of Homeland Security]shall authorize the alien spouse to engage in employment in the United States and provide the
spouse with an employment authorized endorsement or other appropriate work permit.
(F) An alien who will serve in a capacity involving specialized knowledge with respect to an employer for purposes of
section 1101(a)(15)(L) of this title and will be
stationed primarily at the worksite of an employer other than the petitioning employer or its affiliate, subsidiary, or parent shall not be eligible
for classification
under section 1101(a)(15)(L) of this title if
(i) the alien will be controlled and supervised principally by such unaffiliated employer; or
(ii) the placement of the alien at the worksite of the unaffiliated employer is essentially an arrangement to provide labor for hire for the unaffiliated
employer, rather than a placement in connection with the provision of a product or service for which specialized knowledge specific to the petitioning
employer is necessary.
As noted above, for purposes of qualifying the petitioner, a business relationship must be established between the foreign
employer and the U.S. employer (petitioner). There will be more on that subject later. In that the business
EB-5 / SEC news
SEC have charged a Texas-based Regional Center for Securities Fraud
Mona Shah, Esq. & Yi Song, Esq.
On October 1, 2013 the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced fraud charges in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas against a
Texas based EB-5 Regional Center USA Now Regional Center LLC for misappropriating the investment funds of 10 investors from Mexico, Egypt and
Nigeria. The USA Now Regional Center LLC was approved by USCIS in 2010 and raised $5 million dollars before the SEC brought charges at the federal
The SEC complaints shall serve as a warning to all risky and fraudulent practices in the EB-5 community. The security fraud charges are based on false
statements, misrepresentation and improper disclosure made in the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) by USA Now Regional Center. The SEC has alleged that
the Ramirezes told investors that USA Now would hold their investments in escrow until they received USCIS approval. Further, once the funds were
released from escrow, they would be used for specific EB-5 business purposes. As
The governments fiscal year ends today, and without legislation authorizing spending to continue, whether for the full fiscal year or even a few weeks, many federal offices and services will be shuttered starting tomorrow. Unfortunately, the chances the United States government will avoid a shutdown are low. The Senate has tabled the House-approved spending bill, which defunds the Affordable Care Act, and sent it back to the House, but it is unlikely that a consensus will be found before the midnight deadline. This means that beginning Tuesday, an estimated 800,000 to 1 million federal employees will be furloughed and government offices and national parks will close. Details of the impact of the shutdown are emerging and the situation is fluid, but based on what we do know and what happened the last time the federal government shut down in 1996, here is what likely will happen:
Beginning Tuesday, an estimated 800,000 to 1 million federal employees will be furloughed and government offices and national parks will close.
Last week, we highlighted some of the legislative bills currently pending in the House as a response to the Senates CIR bill S.744. What progress has Congress (specifically the House of Representatives) made to pass comprehensive immigration reform legislation? Aside from having introduced a bevy of immigration-related bills, since April-June of this year, the House has not made much progress on immigration reform. House Republicans, who currently make up a majority, are refusing to support the Senates CIR bill S.744.
Recently, the New York Times (and many other news outlets) reported that illegal immigration to the U.S. may be on the upswing, according to the latest polls from the Pew Research Center Hispanic Trends Project. Though, Pew cautioned the results arent enough for a conclusive confirmation.
One would think that a potential upswing illegal immigration to the U.S. would be cause for the House to act swiftly on immigration reform. In celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, House Republicans have publicly proclaimed they are committed to immigration reform.

I. Introduction: Following my posting of the AAO 2013 Non Precedent EB-5 Decision, (most up-to-date version found here), I was contacted by an individual with some observations and questions. This article is written in response to that query.
II. Rejection vs. Denial/Dismissal: As a preliminary matter, it must be clarified that the legal terms rejection and denial are not interchangeable.
a. Rejection means: a filing that is incorrectly submitted as:
i. Untimely Filed: which is simply that, late, beyond the time afforded by law to file something; or
ii. Improperly Filed: which may mean:
1. Filed by someone Without Standing To File: for example, this might be an Appeal or Motion filed by the beneficiary of an immigrant petition filed
Ever since the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lifted the ban this July on general solicitation pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act), it was expected that the threshold for disclosure would be raised. What does this mean to EB-5 projects and EB-5 regional centers?
As is well known and extensively documented by the U.S. and Mexican governments, the United Nations, the Organization of American States, numerous international human rights monitoring organizations and the international media, Mexico is embroiled in a catastrophic situation with respect to violence spawned by domestic and transnational criminal organizations (TCO). The principal TCOs operating in Mexico include: the Sinaloa, Tijuana, Juarez and Gulf cartels, Los Zetas, Los Cabelleros Templarios (Knights Templar), and La Familia Michoacána. In addition to these juggernauts, an increasing number of smaller criminal groups now affect the criminal landscape. According to Mexicos Attorney General, as opposed to the past when there were roughly ten major drug trafficking organizations, there are now as many as 80 now operating throughout the country.[1]
Along with intra and inter-organizational variables, a contributing factor in the emergence of many of these new criminal groups was former President Calderóns Kingpin strategy, under which leaders were targeted for arrest or death. As leaders were taken out their underlings and competitors scrambled to capitalize on the leadership vacuums which increased levels of violence, contributed to the development of splinter groups that are more difficult to
monitor and target, and further diminished the governments capacity to contain criminal activity and to protect the public.
It is important to note that beyond their involvement in drug manufacture and distribution, many of these groups have expanded their criminal portfolios to include extortion, kidnapping for ransom, arms trafficking, human trafficking, alien smuggling, piracy of copyrighted materials, cybercrime, coerced land and property transfers, and theft of millions of dollars worth of oil from the state owned Petróleos Mexicanos.
Outcomes Associated with the War on Organized Criminal Activity
While the Mexican governments campaign against drug traffickers had its origins in the1990s, President Calderóns escalation of the fight in 2006, along with tensions within and between criminal groups, ushered in an unprecedented wave of violence that continues unabated. It is commonly recognized that since 2006 the death toll associated with drug and crime related violence exceeds 70,000. Generally speaking, the violence breaks out into four main categories: 1) government action against criminal groups, 2) criminal groups actions against the government, 3) intra and inter-gang violence, and 4)criminal groups targeting the public.[2]
Insofar as it relates to government officials and members of the public, the victims of the violence fall into six broad categories including those who have been: 1) caught in the crossfire during shootouts with rival criminal groups and/or police or military personnel; 2) targeted as a means of demonstrating organized criminal groups seemingly limitless capacity for audacity and brutality; 3) involved in pro government/anti-crime activities including police officers, prosecutors, judges, appointed officials, political candidates, and elected leaders; 4) subjected to reprisals because they reported crime to police and/or acted as informants against criminal organizations; 5) targeted for extortion, kidnapping, coerced criminal activity and/or land and property seizures; and/or 6) family members of those who have fallen into disfavor with criminal organizations that are victimized as a means of punishing the targeted individual.
Criminal Groups Political Agendas, Strategies and Tactics
Mexican criminal organizations have blended criminality with tactics generally associated with politically motivated terrorism and warfare including
coercion, intimidation, kidnapping, torture and murder of police officers, military personnel, prosecutors and judges. Since 2006, over 1,200 municipal
officials and 31 local mayors have been murdered.[3] Between January and June 2013 almost 250 public servants were killed.[4] In addition to outright terror, criminal organizations seek to create a socio-political climate in which they have impunity to expand and operate by manipulating the political system, including bankrolling elections.[5] The basis for criminal groups interest in the electoral process is simple: they cannot operate without collusion with government officials at every level. This has become particularly true as TCOs expanded into extortion and kidnapping, where the acquiescence and/or direct involvement of government officials is critical.[6]
Arguably these strategies of terror and manipulation of the political system have been effective and in many areas organized criminal groups have thoroughly undermined the states capacity to fulfill basic functions of governance. Speaking of the political implications of TCO activity, a report from the International Crisis Group concluded:
"The brutality of their crimes undermines civilian trust in the governments capacity to protect them, and the corruption of drug money damages belief in key institutions. Cartels challenge the fundamental nature of the state, therefore, not by threatening to capture it, but by damaging and weakening it.[7]
In February 2012, the Mexican Defense Minister acknowledged that criminal organizations have infiltrated state institutions and that up to forty percent of the country is no longer under effective government control.[8] Within this governmental void, organized criminal groups have rendered the state irrelevant in major respects and in many areas TCOs operational capacities have evolved to the point that they often act as de facto governments. In addition to providing crime-based employment, criminal groups are also known to build social infrastructure, dispense social services and in some instances have replaced the state as an arbiter of disputes and enforcer of everything from traffic laws to codes of moral conduct.[9] For example, leaders from La Familia Michoacána are known to preside over tribunals in which accused parties are brought before decision makers who impose judgments and sentences. I have interviewed several individuals who reported that they or people they knew had been arrested by police, but rather than being taken to a police station they were turned over to TCO leaders to deal with their alleged wrongdoing.
The Scope and Implications of Official Corruption
Aside from organized criminal groups seemingly infinite financial resources, sophisticated organizational structures and sheer audacity, the Mexican governments efforts to control them has been seriously constrained by rampant corruption among police, military, and corrections officials, prosecutors, judges, and elected leaders.
Thousands of police officers, including high raking officials, have been dismissed from their positions due to corruption. All 190 police officers in the town of Acambaro, Guanajuato were placed under investigation over alleged ties to TCOs while in the nearby town of Tarandacuao, 23 officers, including the chief of police, were arrested for activities that ranged from tipping off criminal groups when law enforcement was in the area all the way up to murder.[10] The entire Veracruz police force800 officers and 300 administrative personnelwere fired in an effort to purge the department of corruption by starting over.[11] The list of examples of police corruption is nearly endless, and many are so flagrant as to be almost surreal. Ive interviewed numerous individuals that have described scenes in which uniformed officers carried out abductions with no regard to the presence of witnesses; arrested and turned extortion victims over to drug traffickers, then stood guard over cartel-led tribunals in which the victims were tried, sentenced and tortured; and forced residents out of their homes and off their land, only to have members of criminal groups then occupy the property.
Although thousands of corrupt officers have been fired, perhaps tens of thousands more remain in their positions and newly corrupted officers are
continually coming onto the scene. And the governments vetting processes, while an important step, are not necessarily proving effective. As of November
2012, eighty percent of the 50,000 officers that had failed confidence tests were still in their positions.[12] To some degree this can be attributed to corruption itself and a lack of political will, but it is also reflects the untenable nature of the situation: if the government were to dismiss en masse all officers known to be corrupt it would effectively drive many of those officers into the waiting embrace of criminal groups that are ready to employ them.
Corruption is also rampant within the prison system. Corrections officials and guards are known to have facilitated, or at least been complicit in a number of gang-on-gang massacres and frequent mass escapes.[13] In one case authorities released prisoners who then went out and conducted assassinations using firearms provided by the prison staff.[14] Much of the crisis in the prison system is driven by overcrowding, the fact that officials are routinely subjected to violence and are poorly paid; the combination has proven to be a recipe for disaster.
A major element in the governments attempt to address corruption is Operación Limieaza (Operation Cleanup) but thus far the outcomes have been disappointing. For example, in 2012 police arrested four retired and active military officials with connections to the Beltran Leyva Organizationthree generals and a lieutenant. The government later announced that charges were dropped against all four when cases against them unraveled; in all, charges against ten of the thirteen officers arrested under the much-ballyhooed anti-corruption initiative have been dropped.[15] The inability of the government to prosecute corruption cases has led to allegations and counter-allegations. One on hand, claims that the Calderón administration abused its authority, relied on dubious witnesses and targeted political opponents; on the other, suggestions that the current government is making accommodations for the type widespread corruption that occurred for decades under the Partido Institucional Revoluncionario, President Peña Nietos

The Force says due to cuts in funding from the Government and other financial pressures it has to save more than £42.2 million by 2014.
The mounted section consists of nine officers, eight horses and two other police staff.
If the move does go ahead the unit would go in September.
The Force says it's consulting with affected staff at the moment.
Police horses only returned to the streets of Essex in 2008 after an absence of nine years.
