Access and Maintenance of Campus Facilities
The dean, director, or department head is responsible for determining access to facilities under their control. The San Jacinto College Police Department's Crime Prevention Unit, upon request, will prepare a security survey of the facilities to determine security coverage and appropriate access control. It is unlawful for any person to trespass on the grounds of any state of Texas institution of higher education of this state or to damage or deface any of the buildings, statues, monuments, memorials, trees, shrubs, grasses, or flowers on the grounds of any state institutions of higher education. (Texas Education Code Section 51.204)
The governing board of a state institution of higher education or its authorized representatives may refuse to allow persons having no legitimate business to enter on property under the board's control, and may remove any person from the property on his or her refusal to leave peaceably on request. Identification may be required of any person on the property. (Texas Education Code Section 51.209)
The Maintenance Department at San Jacinto College maintains the buildings, grounds, utility systems, and custodial services for the College campuses. They provide electricity, running water, waste disposal, landscape maintenance, building/office renovation, custodial services, and emergency repairs. Faculty and staff are encouraged to report maintenance problems.
Police personnel closely monitor any security-related maintenance problems after hours, and report their findings to the appropriate college official. If necessary, they will stand by until the problem is corrected.
The San Jacinto College Police Department routinely surveys campus lighting nightly and monitors those areas having defective fixtures and reports the deficiencies to the appropriate personnel for corrective action. The operations of the emergency telephones are checked on a scheduled periodic basis.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Authorities have re-arrested a Phoenix woman accused of throwing a shoe at Hillary Rodham Clinton while she gave a convention speech at a Las Vegas Strip resort.
A spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden in Las Vegas said Tuesday that 36-year-old Alison Michelle Ernst was taken into custody Monday evening in Phoenix.
Ernst was due to appear Tuesday before a magistrate in Phoenix on federal misdemeanor trespassing and violence against a person charges. Each count could get her up to a year in federal prison.
Ernst was freed last week with a June 24 court date in Las Vegas after her arrest on a local misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge.
The shoe missed Clinton, and Ernst surrendered to authorities Thursday at a ballroom at the Mandalay Bay resort.

Verizon posts a great quarter
Wall Street can certainly 'hear' the company now.
Net income soared 19.7% to $3.91 billion, or 59 cents a share, compared with $3.26 billion, or 51 cents a share, a year earlier. Revenue rose 4.6% to $28.2 billion. The results beat Wall Street forecasts of 58 cents a share on revenue of $28.17 billion.
During the quarter, Verizon Wireless added 501,000 contract customers, beating the 497,285 average estimate of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News. Verizon co-owns its wireless business with Vodafone (VOD) and probably benefited from slowing sales of the Apple (AAPL) iPhone as it was able to sell rival smartphones that it doesn't need to subsidize as heavily. Nonetheless, it sold 3.2 million iPhones in the quarter.
"What is supposed to be strong (wireless and FiOS) is strong," said telecom analyst Jeff Kagan. "What is supposed to be weak (wireline) is weak. . . . Generally speaking, the company is much stronger than I expected it to be and a lot of other people expected it to be. The only other question is what is happening next."
Average monthly revenue for wireless contract customers increased 3.6% to $55.43, which was better than expected, while data service revenue grew 16% to $23.80. FiOS also had a strong quarter, adding 93,000 net new FiOS Internet connections and 180,000 net new FiOS video connections. Broadband connections rose 3.3% to 8.8 million and churn fell to 1.24%.
Consumer sentiment remains strong and recently hit its highest level in four years, which for wireless companies means that people will be more apt to upgrade their existing service and buy new smartphones. That bodes well for rival AT&T (T), which reports April 24, and Sprint Nextel (S), which reports a day later.
As the U.S. wireless market becomes more saturated, the companies will be forced to compete more heavily on price. That's good news for consumers and bad news for shareholders.

Certified financial planner Wes Moss provides personal finance advice and accessible investment strategies. His guest post appears here Monday mornings.
A perfect storm has been brewing in the used car market. Demand for pre-owned cars currently far outstrips supply, and that's driving prices through the roof, especially for compact and more fuel-efficient vehicles. This time last year a three-year-old Prius sold for about $11,700. Today a three-year-old Prius would cost you $17,750 — a $6,050 jump. WSB auto expert Adam Goldfein and I agree that these are the reasons for the skyrocketing price of a used ride:
What's the best way to navigate the current auto market?
First, find out what your current car is worth. Use vehicle pricing websites like Kelley Blue Book, NADA Guides, and Auto Trader to get a sense of your car's value before you contact a dealer.
If you're looking to get out of a lease, find out what a dealer would pay you for the car. The residual value of your car is the pre-determined "end-of-lease" value placed on the car in your contract. Thanks to market factors described above, your vehicle may be worth more than its residual value. Let's say your car has a residual value of $15,000, but Kelly Blue Book determines that it's worth $17,500 on the open market. Chances are you can find a dealer to pay you more than the residual value.
The most economical way to buy a car is to buy something three or four years old and drive it for at least 10 years. However, if you are frustrated by high used car prices, leasing might be a better option. Because residual values are being set higher, due to the surge in used car prices, lease payments should come down. Here is a list of what leasing deals looked like in April.
Used pickups and SUVs have dropped slightly in value from a year ago as consumers have been looking for more fuel-efficiency. But be careful before buying the gas-guzzler of your dreams. While gas prices are moderating — we could see gas under $3.25 a gallon before the end of the summer – over the next several years, prices are probably headed up.

we've been buying used high line.. like BMW Porsche.. 3 or 4 years old.. preferably CPO.. for CA$H.. last 30 + years.. saved thousands.. just think sales tax, tag, insurance, costs on a new car ???

Mr. Moss has some good points, but he misses the most important one—-Don't ever, under any circumstance, have ANYTHING to do with a dealer when buying or selling an automobile!!!!!!!

What makes you say what you said about dealers?

It makes no sense to buy a new pick up truck if you drive under 5000 miles/year. My $2500 '01 gets 15/18mpg, the new '11 gets 16/22, costs over $25,000 with taxes, and costs three times as much to insure.
As for cars,our '97 civic cost us $4500 in 2001. It gets over 30mpg and costs very little to insure and maintain. A new '11 civic costs $20,000 and doesn't get any better mileage!
As you drive more miles, the cost of the car becomes a smaller part of the overall cost per mile. If you are driving 50,000 miles per year, then the newest highest mileage, most comfortable c=vehicle you can find makes a lot of sense…. But it may make more sense to move closer to work. $400/week in commuting expense can cover a LOT of mortgage…especially with the deals around these days.

One thing FBR is referring to, especially on the buying side, is not only the higher prices, but the fees that a lot of dealers charge. The big dealers are the worst. They have $300-400 or more fees called "doc" fees or paperwork fees, fees for fabric protection and crap like that on new cars that you can do yourself for a fraction of the price, and other miscellaneous things. There are pros & cons to buying from either a dealer or individual. It really depends on how much you know about cars
July 4th, 2011

Let's don't forget the bi-partisan decision to destroy a HUGE number of perfectly good used cars under the wasteful "Cash for Clunkers" nonsense! That has to have affected the price of used cars by severely cutting the supply.
July 4th, 2011
9:32 am
Destin Dawg, you're smart, that is the way to do it!
July 4th, 2011

I find it peculiar Mr. Moss made absolutely no mention of "Cash for Clunkers", which resulted in the destruction of more than 690,000 older vehicles which – by the program rules – had to have been registered and insured continuously for one year prior to the trade-in and in driveable condition.

Let's not forget something else- more folk's are not being able to buy cars due to no job or bad credit!

What makes you say that about dealers? Have you dealt with a dealer – any dealer – lately? The ads make you all warm and fuzzy – but once you get there you are "greeted" by an army of paperwrok handlers that only add to the massive costs you are about to incur.
Who do you think pays for all of that expensive real estate and brick and mortar? It ain't the owner.
And oh by the way, if you have a problem with your car, what are the chances you actually get to talk to the mechanic that will try to fix it. Zero. Instead, you explain the problem to the so-called "service advisor" who for the most part know jack zero about cars, he scribbles down 3 words – usually "something wrong-fix" and you get your car back with a big bill and the problem still there. It would be a joe if it didn;t costg so much.
By the way, the dealers are behind this "modernization" of the GA income tax system which will require sales tax on car sales between private individuals. If it passes under this set of so-called Republicans, then join the protest – but your car form an out-of-state dealer. Yes, you still have to pay the sales tax, but you deny the forces behind the law change their unjust rewards.
One more thing – the best mechanics never ever work at a dealer.

Cash 4 Clunkers wasn,t mentioned because it did absolutely NOTHING!!! A few of the junk vehicles were scrapped but guess what happened 2 the decent vehicles????? THEY WERE RESOLD!!! I am in the auto industry telling you what the truth is, NOT what i read in the media or from some blog.

It is so true about, "not having your car worked on by the dealership.". I have a DodgeCharger. Went to the dealership because the infamous "check engine light" came on. Waited for a whole hour. The mechanic supervisor came into the waiting room and called me up. He proceeded to tell me that my problem would cost $1,153.52. I politely told him to lower the hood on my car and I will think about it. They had already stiffed me for $100.00 just to hook it up to the machine. To make along story short, I ordered a CarMD. The little machine that you can hook up to your car, like AUTOZone does. Well I end up getting the part and taking it to one of our neighborhood mechanics. Total price $128.00.

That's right. Cash For Clunkers did NOTHING. For the nation or the economy. It did play favorites just as the fascists in the Federal government love to do and are so good at.
Otherwise, it was just a moronic, misguided, Progressive-minded leviathan boondoggle. Like Vietnam and the War on Poverty. The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves on this 4th of July.

FBR – you CAN get a good deal from a large dealer. I recently purchased a large SUV as a 2nd vehicle, and by taking my time and passing on several good ones, I got one from the dealer BELOW Loan Value. On top of that they put on new tires and did a few repairs at that price. I shopped the local sellers and they were even higher than the dealer!!
The key is to check your emotions at the door and be willing to walk away. If you "Gotta" have you are going to pay TOO MUCH!!!

I'm just glad the Obama administration's "Cash for Clunkers" program had nothing to do with this.
July 10th, 2011
10:43 pm
By destroying a quarter's worth of trade-ins in three weeks and permanently taking them off the market, the Obama administration has forced an artificial inflation by supply restriction. Moreover, they did so by subsidizing new-car sales that would have occurred anyway, eating up three billion dollars in taxpayer money.
In other words, the White House spent $3 billion to make used cars more expensive for working-class families. Nice work.
July 11th, 2011

Everything is ALWAYS Obama's fault. Good grief. New car prices too high? Obama's fault! Used car prices too high? Obama's fault! He's a Communist! An arsonist! A typist! A manicurist! Some of you people are just stupid as hell.

We won't let Ted Poetsch's former house rot away, Fannie Mae says
Now officially vacant and officially owned by Fannie Mae, 823 Penn Avenue North in Minneapolis – the subject of Monday's story and video and this photo by my colleague Kyndell Harkness – has a bright future, if Fannie Mae's promises are fulfilled. Amy Bonitatibus, a spokeswoman in Washington for the federally-bailed-out mortgage giant, said that as of March 31, Fannie Mae owned 62,371 single-family homes nationwide – all of them obtained through foreclosure. That's nearly 20,000 more than a year earlier.
But Bonitatibus pointed out that Fannie Mae is selling thousands of houses as well, through private brokers, auctions and its own web site. Fannie Mae's modus operandi is to fix up the homes and then sell them, rather than just unloading them as is, she said. It won't sit boarded for years, either, she said. She suspects the repairs and listing could happen within 30 days.
