Doug Alsdorf: Funding Research for a Cure
While no husband or son should have to experience the loss of a wife or mother, Doug Alsdorf and his son Garrett are committed to ensuring that no one else has to experience the tragedy they endured.
Eleven years ago, Doug and his wife Laura, who met at The Ohio State University, relocated back to central Ohio from Los Angeles to live closer to family again. Doug passed up a prestigious position at UCLA to begin teaching geophysics at Ohio State while Laura left her dream job with Mattel to focus on starting a family. But within a few months of beginning their new life in the Midwest, Laura was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Initially, the couple considered moving back to Los Angeles for care, as Doug would accept only the "best treatment, period," for his wife, and he believed that he would find it there. But after researching many options, Doug and Laura decided to seek treatment at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James).
Laura began a six-year battle against cancer with the support of the OSUCCC – James and her family. A loving mother and wife, she was more concerned with her family's well-being than she was with her own. Doug remembers her telling him: "This cancer is unfair to you and unfair to Garrett." But he never heard Laura complain about how unfair it was to her.
Doug and Laura were impressed by the quality of care and expertise at the OSUCCC – James. However, after four years of successful treatment, Laura was diagnosed with metastatic disease; the cancer had spread to her lungs. The couple traveled to Houston for a second opinion. Doug recalls a physician there telling him, "I wish we had the clinical trials that The James has." In the end, Doug, Laura and Garrett stayed in Columbus. "We didn't move because The James is that good," Doug says.
Laura continued treatment through the spring of 2011, when she and Doug learned that the cancer had spread to her liver. She died soon afterward. Doug and Garrett recall that, during her final days of treatment, Laura was "incredibly courageous" and "selfless."
Garrett, who is now in middle school, loves to play video games, perform in plays and hike outdoors with his father. He remembers his mom as someone who was caring, brave and "never really worried about herself."
Shortly after Laura's death, her husband and her brother Don established a fund in her memory. The motivation for their giving stems from their passion for funding research and from their gratitude for the compassionate care that Laura received from the staff at the Stefanie Spielman Comprehensive Breast Center. "The nurses were outstanding and memorable. One nurse, in particular, asked if she could paint Laura's nails as Laura was too weak to do them herself. That is just one example of the remarkable level of care shown to patients at The James," Doug says.
"The experience of giving back became a cathartic release," he adds. "It allowed me to heal. I didn't know I would feel that way."
Money raised through this fund benefits the research of Sameek Rowchowdhury, MD, PhD, at the OSUCCC – James, who uses it for genetic typing of cancer cells in developing treatments specific to each patient's genetic makeup.
In the past five years, Laura's fund has reached $117,000 thanks to the incredible generosity of friends and family. Doug hopes to someday see her fund surpass $1 million and plans to publish a book in her honor. What started as a collection of therapeutic blog postings has turned into a memoir about "life, love, death and dating." All proceeds from the book would be donated to the fund in Laura's name.

Artist Profile
Visit the Artist's Website
The last 5 years I been working closely with technology, video and media artists; the results have strongly impacted my development as a choreographer. My most recent work, danza_digital (digital_dance), a dance created for the Internet, was a great opportunity for me to experience the Internet, a very important mass medium that allows my art to reach a massive audience in their own personal space by inventing new ways of interactively experiencing the Internet. danza_digital explores the possibilities of creating dance for an electronic medium to interact with the audience/user thru specific programming, which offers a multiplicity of options to create personalized choreography. Specifically, I was looking for an open piece, extremely personal and public, where the choreographer presents an idea thru a fragmented dance which has to be re-integrated for each person that enters the piece, giving them the opportunity to have their own unique experience. I ask that the judges please experience for themselves this work at www.danzadigital.com so as to view the piece and understand how it works.
I wish to continue my development as a dance creator for the Internet and to build on everything that I have learned from this experience. This very new field of dance creation offers rich opportunities for my art to reach different audiences in cyberspace. I consider it crucial to my development as an artist that I continue this work, which will be titled danza_digital v2.0 (digital_dance v2.0).

The ability to effectively communicate our ideas and thoughts is crucial as we develop and grow our personal and professional relationships. Here are 5 skills that can have an immediate impact on our ability to get our point across.
*Less is more. Be concise and get to the point. People that ramble and talk over others are annoying and their message is easily lost. Be mindful of using filler words such as "um, like, so, you know, etc. Filler words are NERVOUS words. TIP… Enlist your friends, family and co-workers to help you identify your most commonly used filler words. Once you become mindful of these words, you will start to catch them and can remove them from your vocabulary.
*Monitor your language. Profanity is always discouraged. When you inject slang words such as "man" or "dude" into a conversation you are establishing yourself as an uneducated person. It is also wise to keep your religious and political opinions to yourself. TIP…Make a list of all of the profane/slang words that you use on a regular basis. Stand in front of your bathroom mirror and say these words out loud for 5 minutes. Do you feel intelligent and empowered after saying these words to yourself?
*Your physical presence. Your physical presence will often speak louder than anything you verbalize. Confident communicators possess an empowering physiology. Here are a couple of quick tips for making a good first impression. Stand tall, shoulders back and maintain eye contact. When shaking a person's hand be firm but not overbearing. Weak handshakes, especially in men do not convey confidence. TIP…Be mindful of each conversation you are engaged in. Pay attention to your posture. Are you maintaining eye contact? How are you dressed? Become more aware of your presence and adjust accordingly.
*Pay people compliments and express gratitude. Develop the habit of paying genuine compliments to others. Seek positive things that people are doing and acknowledge them for it. Give thanks throughout the day for everything that you have and all of the opportunities that lie in front of you. TIP…When you first open your eyes in the morning, speak words of gratitude for everything that you are grateful for. Throughout the day continue to speak words of thanks for all of the wonderful opportunities and people that are in your life. Express thanks for your health and well being. Look for opportunities to compliment people that you come in contact with. Look them in they eye when you share your compliments. Do these things without fail for the next two weeks.
*Listening. God gave each of us two ears and one mouth. Our goal should be to listen twice as much as we talk. To be an effective communicator you must become an excellent listener. Learn to ask people questions and focus on their response. TIP…Monitor all of your conversations for the next two weeks. Each time you engage in a conversation ask that person a minimum of 3 questions. No matter how tempting it is, don't respond until they have finished talking. Develop the practice of listening more than you speak.
My hope is that you will find these skills to be helpful in every area of your life.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback.

Rest in peace Missy Moo
All dogs go to heaven #43 11 by 13 inches Watercolor on handmade paper $80.00
This paper is a bit difficult to paint on using some of the standard techniques of resist or scrubbing. Its beautiful paper with lots of character and very thick. Once its wet it becomes blotter paper and can tear if not treated with a bit of respect.
I used some iridescent paint on this one. This paint has a bit of a sparkle to it but usually it can be very discreet and only when light hits the paint a certain way does it reflect back.

When Are Truck Drivers Required to Take Breaks?
Coffee is America's favorite breakfast beverage for a reason: you can't function properly when you're tired. You start to forget important information. Your physical reaction time is slowed down dramatically. You become indecisive, and struggle to make even the simplest of choices. Put simply, fatigue is a recipe for disaster – particularly when the fatigued person is controlling a powerful machine like a speeding semi-trailer truck. Unfortunately, even though truckers are supposed to comply with federal shift limits called the hours of service regulations, exhausted drivers cause deadly truck accidents every day.
How Often Does Driver Fatigue Cause Truck Crashes?
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, or FMCSA, is the branch of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) responsible for monitoring and improving road safety among bus and truck companies. Together with another branch of the DOT, called the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the FMCSA conducted a large truck crash causation study series sampling 120,000 accidents which occurred from April 2001 to December 2003. According to a July 2007 brief on the study, all crashes included in the sample "involved at least one large truck and resulted in a fatality or injury."
The study ranked the leading factors in large truck crashes throughout the United States, as described below:
- Defective brake systems – 41,000 trucks (29%)
- Speeding for road/weather conditions – 32,000 trucks (23%)
- Lack of familiarity with the road – 31,000 trucks (22%)
- Defective or poorly maintained roads – 29,000 trucks (20%)
- Over-the-counter drug use – 25,000 trucks (17%)
- Insufficient surveillance – 20,000 trucks (14%)
- Driver fatigue – 18,000 trucks (13%)
- Pressure from carrier – 16,000 trucks (10%)
- Illegal maneuvers – 13,000 trucks (9%)
- Driver inattention – 12,000 trucks (9%)
As you can see from this list, driver fatigue was the seventh most common contributing factor to large truck accidents during the study period. The eight leading factor, pressure from carriers, is a related and critical piece of the puzzle. While individual drivers have personal accountability for violating federal shift limits – the terms of which we'll discuss shortly – it's seldom the driver alone who's to blame when a terrible accident occurs.
Because the trucking industry is so economically important, accounting for nearly 84% of commercial transportation in the United States, truckers are urged to complete the fastest turnarounds possible. It is not unheard-of for truckers who threaten to blow the whistle to be threatened with replacement or retaliatory termination. These financial pressures frequently lead truckers to intentionally violate the hours of service (HOS) regulations set forth by the FMCSA. In fact, in another report from its large truck crash causation study series, the FMCSA openly stated that "HOS regulations that attempt to reduce fatigue are highly controversial and widely violated."
What Hourly Shift Limits Do Truckers Have to Follow?
It's understandable that truckers, like anyone else, want to keep their jobs. However, that does not excuse them from deliberately jeopardizing the lives of the people around them. If someone you love was hit by a truck driver who fell asleep after exceeding his or her shift limits, you may be entitled to compensation. Let's examine the HOS regulations in closer detail.
The regulations change slightly depending on whether the driver is transporting passengers or property, but apply to all commercial drivers whose vehicles meet any of the following criteria:
- The vehicle weighs more than 10,000 pounds. This describes most of the big-rigs and semi-trailer trucks you see on the road every day.
- The vehicle was carrying a significant quantity of hazardous materials, which could mean:
- Blasting agents
- Corrosive or radioactive materials
- Explosives
- Flammable liquids (gasoline, fuel oil)
- Inhalation hazards (poisons, toxins)
- Oxygen
- The vehicle was used (or designed) to carry at least 16 people, not for compensation.
- The vehicle was used (or designed) to carry at least nine people, for compensation.
Truckers and other commercial drivers who meet the above criteria, and who are transporting property, must comply with the following HOS regulations:
- 14-Hour Limit – Truckers cannot drive beyond 14 hours on-duty. They must spend 10 consecutive hours off-duty.
- 11-Hour Limit – Truckers can only drive a maximum of 11 hours after being off-duty for 10 hours.
- 60-/70-Hour Limit – Truckers cannot drive beyond 60/70 hours during a seven- to eight-day period.
- Enforcement of the 34-hour restart rule for restarting these rolling periods was suspended when the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2015 was enacted in December of 2014.
- Sleeper Berth – Truckers who are using a sleeper berth provision must spend at least eight consecutive hours in the sleeper berth, as well as two consecutive hours which must be spent either off-duty, in the sleeper berth, or some combination of both.
While the above regulations are somewhat different when applied to drivers carrying passengers, compliance remains essential. Furthermore, drivers' activities must be noted accurately and truthfully in logbooks.
If you or one of your loved ones was hit by a truck in Oklahoma City or the surrounding area, you deserve to seek closure and justice for your loss. Let the car accident lawyers of Hasbrook & Hasbrook help your family fight for the compensation you deserve.

"Over here you have the bazillions of U.S. bucks doled out to Wall Street's cowboys for reckless conduct that wrecked the world's economy. Over there you have a $3.4 billion federal settlement with people from whom the U.S. had been essentially stealing for more than 100 years. To seek what was owed them, American Indians spent 13 years in court where judge after judge decried the government's gross mismanagement of their funds and "mendacity" in litigation. And yet it took that long for the Justice Department to step up to the plate and agree to pay more than a pittance. If the Indians had been AIG, the $3.4 billion settlement announced this week would have been many times larger. The real AIG -- insurance giant American International Group Inc. -- sopped up $180 billion in government aid after helping to create the economic havoc felt around the world. The Indians sought no bailout, no handout when they filed suit in 1996 to claim royalties due them for oil, gas, timber, mining and grazing rights to lands allotted them under an 1887 agreement with the federal government.

Our Size
The size of our facility is truly fundamental to our Tradition of Caring. We have intentionally limited the building to a single story with 28 private suites. Our size provides opportunities for socializing and developing friendships, yet is not so large that residents get lost in the crowd.
With a smaller number of residents, our staff has more personal time with each resident allowing them to know and appreciate each other better. Our size also provides the flexibility to accommodate special requests; such as a daughter baking cookies or planting flowers with her mother. We are hopeful that residents will continue to experience life's most treasured moments while living at Southern Heritage.
Our Staff
Staff excellence is another important factor in our Tradition of Caring. Compassion and empathy are the highest priorities for prospective employees. The importance of respecting and maintaining each resident's dignity is emphasized during training. Many of our staff have been part of our Tradition of Caring for 5 to 10 years. This experience provides consistency which leads to better care, a trusting relationship and greater resident satisfaction. Staff schedules allow extra time to spend with each resident beyond just attending to their needs.
Our Management
With over 70 years of combined experience in healthcare for seniors, we have found that more personalized care can be provided in a smaller, more intimate, facility. Southern Heritage is unique in that our owners are actively involved on-site at the facility on a daily basis. When the resident, their family, our staff and owners work together, we can provide a Tradition of Caring - treating others as we would choose to be treated.

Distraction is good, but give yourself room to grieve. Don't force yourself to be OK when you're not. Wounds do not heal by themselves. They need to be cleaned and dressed, hidden from view. But also remember that they need little doses of sunshine and fresh air.
There will be tears. But there will also be relief. There will be days when you're alright, and there will be days when you're not. Embrace both as part of the process. Don't rush yourself into recovery. You're not expected to fix yourself overnight.
Life is not a race. Wait.

According to a leaked image snapped up today, EB Games will be giving out a pair of REAL dog tags with Battlefield 4 pre-orders.
The image in question was posted on GamerSky and looks quite legitimate given the promotional artwork all matches up to recent reveals by Electronic Arts.
Listed as an EB exclusive, I can only assume this promo art is bound for Canada due to the 'Fall 2013' release date and the American equivalent of EB is known as GameStop over in the U.S. of A.
Wheterh or not this bonus will be available elsewhere remains to be seen but if this is a genuine ad, more confirmation should be appearing in the coming weeks (possibly days) ahead.

How can I find the IP address of a host plugged into an Arista switch?
You can find the IP address through a combination of the switch's internal MAC address table, and nmap from another host on the network
SSH into the Arista switch and run

You will get an output like:
arista0>show mac address-table

I'm not a mod or anything, and I'm relatively new around here so if I'm overstepping my bounds just let me know.
Anyway, lately there's been a slew of YA book recommendation request threads for every genre of YA you can think of (the only one I didn't find is sci-fi/dystopian, which is weird considering how popular it is right now. Someone should get on that!). So many threads, in fact, I thought it'd be helpful to compile them all in one super YA book recommendation list. You're welcome.
Fantasy / Urban Fantasy / Paranormal
Really awesome urban fantasy and/or paranormal (romance optional)
Books featuring the magically fantastical and the paranormally supernatural, but in an urban (or contemporary) setting. Like: The Mortal Instruments, Paranormalcy
Something wicked this way comes...
Creepy books featuring dark fantasy (urban or otherwise) and horror. Like: The Replacement, Gone by Michael Grant, Slice of Cherry by Dia Reeves
In a land far, far away...
Books featuring straight-up, secondary world fantasy. Like: Graceling or anything by Tamora Pierce
Contemporary / Non-Paranormal
Really awesome non-paranormal reads
Books for those who have OD'd on the paranormal--this list contains not a sparkly vamp or were in sight. I can't imagine OD'ing on the paranormal, but apparently it's possible (I can quit if I want, you know). Like: Jellicoe Road, Before I Fall
Contemporary YA for the youngsters
More non-paranormal, non-fantasy contemporary books, but with a slant towards a younger, less edgier audience. Like: Harriet the Spy, Godless and anything by Jerry Spinelli (I suggest Milkweed because little Stopthief/Misha made me cry)
Magical realism for the teens
Books that could be described as magical realism -- this seems to be an underrepresented genre (or is just so damn hard to pin down), so there are also some adult mentions too (because, how can you have a list of magical realism anything and *not* have Gabriel Garcia Marquez on it? Right?)
Like, OMG, Chick-Lit!
YA chick-lit, especially the funny, the biting, the snarky and sarcastic. Like: 13 Little Blue Envelopes and pretty much anything by Meg Cabot
Super Specific Premise / Theme / Character Type (may be fantasy, may be contemporary)
Where my boys at?
Books that feature a mostly male main character. Not necessarily a "boy" book or a book just for boys, but one written from a boy's POV. Like: Eragon, Paper Towns or anything written by John Green
Just like our world--but with magic!
Books that feature worlds much like our own, but where magic is just plain 'ole ordinary magic, not a secret or hidden or scoffed at as make-believe. Like: White Cat by Holly Black
Behold, the wise messenger
Books featuring the premise of wise/mysterious/dead messenger guiding our young protagonist on a series of (mis)adventures, either intentionally or not, often in the form of letters or cryptic clues that must be unraveled. Like: I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak or 13 Little Blue Envelopes
Non-homogenized books
Books featuring a diverse cast by including characters that are of other races, ethnicities, sexualities, etc. from the straight, white characters that seem to be the norm (up until post 10 or so, after which it becomes an interesting discussion on diversity in YA -- which you should totally read anyway)
The whole kit and caboodle
YA books in any genre. The list here seems to have an emphasis on all-around good YA authors to read as well specific book recommendations. Like: all of the above, I guess
Writing Skills
Finally, on the actual craft of writing
Self-explanatory really. Books to make you write better, maybe with a YA slant.

A joint project of the ISSS, INCOSE and ISSIP
This is an old revision of the document!
Welcome to S2T wiki – a collaboration space for Service Systems Thinking.
The project was first proposed in January 2014 as A Proposal for Collaboration on a Pattern Language for Service Systems (Science, Management, Engineering and Design) at the Systems Science Working Group meeting. The initial shepherd is David Ing.
Collaboration was endorsed in principle in January 2014 by INCOSE (International Council on Systems Engineering) and the ISSS (International Society for the Systems Sciences), and in April 2014 by ISSIP (International Society for Service Innovation Professionals).
The proposed platform for collaboration was a federated wiki. For expediency, a more mature platform (Dokuwiki) is being used at startup.
In June 2014, David Ing has been experimenting with a federated wiki at http://fed.coevolving.com/. Contributing authors may be encouraged to similarly follow the Wiki Openshift Quickstart for a personal instance of a wiki that federates.
As a way of learning about pattern language and service systems, we can start with some Historic Works on Generative Pattern Languages.
The first source, originally published in 1968, is A Pattern Language Which Generates Multi-Service Centers (1968).
In July 2014, "Incubating Service Systems Thinking: New frames for collaborating on a pattern language for service systems" was presented at the ISSS 2014 meeting. The presentation was captured as two videos.
In October 2014, "An Invitation to Service Systems Thinking: Collaborating on a New Generative Pattern Language" was presented at the Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. The presentation was captured as two videos.
In January 2015, "From Environmental Structure to Service Systems Thinking: Wholeness with Centers Described with a Generative Pattern Language" was accepted into the Proceedings of the 2014 Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs.
In July 2015, "Service Systems Thinking: From Environmental Structure to a New Generative Pattern Language" was presented at the PURPLSOC (Pursuit of Pattern Languages for Societal Change) Conference at Danube University Krems, Austria.

North East Pentathlon Championships 19th September 2015
Report by Charles Burke
Eleven club members and their parents (not mine !!), enjoyed the glorious sunshine while competing in the annual outdoor pentathlon event at Jarrow on Saturday 19th September, a date which has been fixed in the training groups calendar for what seems like months. The group have trained 3 or 4 times a week trying to master the highly technical disciplines involved in the pentathlon - hurdles, long jump, high jump, shot putt and 800m.
An excellent turnout from the club at what is a physically and mentally draining challenge. Everyone ended up with at least one pb (I have checked Power of 10, and apologies if I have made any mistakes).
U13 boys - Lucas Pentland 1pb in the shot putt, and niftily dodged a fellow competitor who fell in the hurdles. Points 775 7th out of 9.
U13 girls- Charlotte Bennett 2 pbs in the shot putt and the 800m in 2-31 which gives her the U13 girls' club record which she has been chasing all year, brilliant Charlotte. Total points 1791 12th out of 29.
Ruby Whitney 4 pbs !!! long jump, high jump (winner of the smiliest high jumper), shot and 800m. Points 1635 15th.
Libby Currie 3 pbs !!! and 1 equalled hurdles, =long jump, high jump, 800m. Points 1318 21st.
Lucy Nicklin 3 pbs !!! high jump, shot and 800m. Points 1175 23rd.
Millie Pentland 2 pbs!!! hurdles and long jump (an upsetting KJT hiccup in the high jump due to over zealous officiating !!) 747 points 28th.
Libby, Lucy and Millie are still in the U13 group next year, well done girls.
U15 boys- Matthew Brining 4 pbs !! hurdles (an event he was dreading), long jump, shot putt and 800m. Points 1063 6th.
U15 girls- Elicia Smith 3 pbs, high jump, shot, 800m. Points 2382 (a club record by nearly 1000 points) 5th out of 21 and first season in the U15 group. An excellent performance.
Jordan Thrower 4 pbs !!! hurdles, high jump, shot, 800m. 1776 points (also bettering the club record) 18th. (first season)
Casey Thwaites 5 pbs !!! well done Casey. hurdles, long jump, high jump, shot, 800m. 1375 points. 20th. (first season)
Vet men 65 Charlie Burke 1pb ?? 800m. 1578 points 6th out of 11, 1st V65 men.

Bottle-fermented Sekt
Reichsrat von Buhl has earned a name for itself in the past two decades as a maker of fine Sekt. We only use the costly and traditional classic bottle fermentation method, where the base wine is individually subjected to a second fermentation once it's in the bottle. This produces the bubbles found in the wine. The method originates from the Champagne region - as does our winemaker and technical director Mathieu Kauffmann.

Once again Brighton & Hove's Green council have been accused of not living up to their increasingly inappropriate name. And the occasion? Yesterday's You and Yours on Radio 4. Pete West, "The Fat Controller", had been caught out attempting to raise allotment rents by 66%. Luckily for allotment-holders he was roundly defeated at the council meeting on 23 February. And who opposed the rip-off rent rise? Why Pete West, of course, that champion of the town's open spaces! With a display of breath-taking integrity, he joined all the other Green councillors in voting for an opposition amendment preventing his own exorbitant rise. Yet again, the Greens show that when it comes to politics, there's nothing to beat being on the winning side!
And so to Radio 4:
PW: It does seem strange for a Green council to want to increase allotment prices…Why did you change your plans?
PW (sounding dismissive and resentful): Umm – well, that was – you know – a, a political matter – er – we – you know – there was, there was clearly some opposition to it a-a-nd it was the whole council had to make a budget decision.
That's it Pete – tell it like it is!

AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Public Policy Foundation organized a panel discussion at the Texas Capitol to address the crisis along the Texas border. The panel was the second of a two-part series, with a similar event last week focusing on accurately identifying the problems along the border, and this week's panel discussing potential solutions. Last week's panel included Breitbart Texas Managing Director Brandon Darby as one of the speakers.
Thursday's event, titled "Securing the Border: A Symposium on Solutions," brought back Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples as moderator and featured speakers included Laura Collins, director of immigration policy at the American Action Forum, Shikha Dalmia, senior policy analyst at the Reason Foundation, and Mike Gonzalez, senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation's Institute for International Studies.
Before the panel began, Breitbart Texas interviewed Staples, asking "In Texas, we don't just talk about problems, we focus on solutions, and we have nationally recognized experts that, after laying the ground work [with last week's panel] about what's really going on, on the Texas Mexico border, we'll be talking about what solutions are on the table, which ones are workable, and how to put the votes together."
"The real intractable issue in Washington is you have the liberal elements that want to provide citizenship for people that violate our nation's entry laws," he added. "The clear reality is that people are not coming for citizenship, they're coming looking for a job. Our guest worker program is antiquated, it's broken…if you're a conservative, if you want efficient government, if you want to secure that border, you can effectively secure that border by having a modernized guest worker program that is market based, not based on artificial quotas that were established in the 1960s…these are the simple that we've got to start talking about."
When asked about the efforts by Texas grassroots activists to propose solutions to the border crisis, Staples said that he "appreciated everyone coming forward and thinking about new ways and new ideas. I think the federal government has made it clear — and I don't mind challenging the federal government — that [Texas] cannot enforce federal immigration laws…[but] we've got to do everything we can in Texas." Staples was not yet convinced a special session of the legislature was necessary and advocated seeing what effect the new deployment of Texas National Guard troops would have before making a move like that.
As the panel began, Collins spoke first, discussing immigration issues from an economic perspective. "Border security is just one component that works with the economics," said Collins, and she advocated approaching immigration "from a market-based perspective." By implementing an efficient, workable legal immigration system — that includes a workable guest worker program — you can alleviate some pressure on the border, she said.
Collins also argued that immigration as a whole benefits a country economically by raising the GDP, reducing deficits, and other positive effects. On the flip side, if it were theoretically possible to deport all the illegal workers immediately, many of those people are working and spending money in our economy, and, according to Collins, removing them would cause our economy to contract.
The key, Collins emphasized again, is an "immigration system that's good for all of us" — a legal immigration system, including employment verification. "If you're going to limit immigration in any way, you need a workable employment verification system," she said. "We need to find a way to make that work, so that businesses have confidence in who they're hiring."
Dalmia began her remarks pointing out how the federal government had lost credibility on the immigration issue. "We all know that our immigration system is completely broken," she said, also noting that immigration reform was "dead in the water" for at least the near future.
A major part of the problem, according to Dalmia, happened when the United States began implementing an immigration system that was heavily centrally controlled, and created a significant gap in the demand for foreign workers and the quota that Washington allows to enter legally. Before, under a more open system, workers would naturally gravitate to where the jobs were, guided by traditional supply and demand principles.
The current U.S. worker visa system classifies all workers into only two categories, "skilled" and "unskilled." Dalmia called these categories "weird," "snobbish," and "unhelpful," mentioning logical inconsistencies like classifying a welder as unskilled but masseuse as skilled. Exacerbating the problem is the increasingly complicated process to obtain a visa for an "unskilled" worker, with Dalmia going so far as to describe it as the "bureaucratic equivalent of waterboarding."
The fact that demand for worker visas vastly outstrips the supply is well known, and Dalmia discussed some figures showing exactly how severe the mismatch was between the labor needs of local economies and foreign workers willing to travel, and what the federal government allowed.
The most recent figures showed that there were only 85,000 skilled worker visas available and the government received over 125,000 applications very quickly and then announced that they were not even going to look at any more applications.
The figures are even more unbalanced for unskilled workers. The government received 450,000 applications for H-2A visas, the designation for agricultural workers, and only 75,000 were available. Three hundred thousand workers applied for H-2B visas, the non-agricultural designation, with only 66,000 available.
The federal system "breeds lawlessness," said Dalmia, as many workers view the odds as so unfavorable — not too mention how complicated and expensive compliance is — that they do not even bother trying to follow the law.
Dalmia then suggested a solution that has not received as much attention in our federally-dominated immigration system: turning more power over to the states. As an example, Dalmia discussed the Canadian system, which is much more decentralized than the American system. In Canada, their federal government assigns visa applicants points based on their educational levels, skills and experience, language ability, and demand for their specific profession, and conducts criminal, health, and background checks. The provinces then play a major role in processing applications and deciding who is granted a visa and how many are granted.
The Canadian system is significantly quicker at processing visa applicants than the American system, with substantial cost savings as well. Dalmia described other advantages that the United States would see if we adopted a more similar system, such as being able to more efficiently direct the flow of immigrants to where they are most needed, instead of where they end up, as well as being consistent with conservative positions like creating a more limited role for the federal government and allowing the states to be laboratories of democracy. For example, Arizona's government has pushed for stricter enforcement of immigration laws, while Utah has asked for a waiver to allow more guest worker visas for their state. President Obama sharply criticized Arizona but his administration has not acted to grant Utah's request. A more decentralized system would let the states balance immigration by trading quota numbers and the illegal immigration issue would largely resolve itself through this mutual cooperation. This type of system also flips the tone of the immigration debate, treating immigrants who want to work and obey the laws as assets, not liabilities.
Gonzalez, who was born in Cuba, told his family's story of immigrating to the United States and how much they appreciated the opportunities America had given them, a narrative familiar to anyone who has listened to Texas Senator Ted Cruz or Florida Senator Marco Rubio tell their stories.
Gonzalez took issue with how, throughout the whole contentious immigration debate, liberals "keep pounding the table" saying we're a nation of immigrants. The problem, according to him, is that liberals do not understand what that should mean: a nation of legal immigrants. Gonzalez talked about how the United States needed to stay a nation of immigrants, to be an escape hatch for people like his family fleeing an oppressive regime in Cuba, but that we needed to be not just a "historical experiment" in freedom, but also the rule of law.
The current immigration system, explained Gonzalez, was set up to divide people and engage in social engineering, not ethically and efficiently process legal immigrants. About fifty years ago, the government tossed out America's past experience with bringing immigrants into this country and created new artificially applied labels for groups to target for social welfare and affirmative action programs, he said. These categories lumped together people who were in reality very different: creating the label "Hispanic" to cover Mexicans, Cubans, Brazilians, etc., "Asian" to cover Chinese, Filipinos, etc.
The new categories were inserted into the United States Census and the government started engaging in massive data collection on these artificial categories of people. Gonzalez criticized this approach, saying that it sends a discriminatory, divisive message and doesn't actually help people, instead conditioning them to think of government support and intervention as benevolent. Gonzalez's challenge to conservatives was to not fear the predicted demographic changes in this country, but instead embrace Hispanics as agents of change and reach out to them to discuss the opportunities to be found in America.
In a question and answer period, Dalmia again emphasized her position that "you cannot have border security without a decent guest worker program" that provides legal options to connect workers and employers.
Gonzalez supported her comment, noting that under the old open border system, workers came to America to work, and then returned home, especially seasonal workers. Modern life and national security issues mean we do not want such a porous system, but one negative side effect to the way we currently enforce our immigration system is that illegal immigrants fear being unable to return, so they hunker down and stay here on a virtually permanent basis.
Collins pointed out another problem with our current immigration system: its high levels of complexity and expense mean that small and mid-size businesses are effectively barred from participating. Only large corporations can afford the attorneys and support staff needed to get applicants through the system.
In response to a question about immigrants taking American jobs, Dalmia commented that the situation was more complex: immigrants do not just take a job in a vacuum, they participate in the economy as consumers and taxpayers, generating wealth and benefitting everyone. Collins added, "you're not swapping," one foreign worker for one American worker, a job for a job.
At the conclusion of the program, Jackson County Sheriff Andy Louderback, the President of the Sheriffs' Association of Texas, offered some perspective from local law enforcement. "No sheriff is anti-immigrant," he said, "but we are all anti-criminal." Regarding the border crisis, they believed a higher level of engagement from local law enforcement would be helpful. "We stand ready as Texas sheriffs" to help solve this problem, he said, but are currently underutilized. He advocated giving local law enforcement greater authority to have an active role in monitoring the border and detaining illegal immigrants.
After the panel concluded, Breitbart Texas interviewed Sheriff Louderback and discussed his comments. One way local law enforcement can play a greater role is through the federal "287(g) program," which allows them to enter into a partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Louderback expressed his disappointment that there was not a greater effort to take this kind of action, although it is similar to one of the recommendations of the Texas Border Crisis Action Plan presented on Thursday by Texas grassroots tea party leaders.
"We just think that Texas sheriffs need to be included in every aspect [of the border crisis discussion]," said Louderback. "We think local control is the best control, [and] we don't think we're being utilized enough in that regard."
Funding is, as always, an issue, with Louderback acknowledging the challenges that small rural counties on the front lines of the border crisis face. "Horrible problems in Brooks County," he said, referring to the high cost of processing the dead bodies of the tragically high number of illegal immigrants who are found dead in the area. "They need [more] funding. There are several things that can be done to alleviate [the situation in Brooks County]," he said, adding that it was important to also "include the Texas Sheriffs in the solution to this matter."
