Statistics matter, but only to a point,
and only when they really matter
Consider, if you will, that the facts about what is happening along the Mexican border with the U.S. are not necessarily portrayed by FBI statistics.
Yet another Washington official provides us with a view which is determined by "statistics." This article from a newspaper in The United States illustrates how easily norteamericanos will construct their own colored reality when addressing almost any issue in Mexico. In this case, the U.S. Homeland Security Secretary uses an irrevalent statisical set of measurements to underpin a perception which is likely misleading, viz., the rate of reported crimes, apparently to gain an endorsement of her policies. The paradox is that Mexican politicians play exactly the same game.
The end result of Napolitano's spin is some deep guacamole which may be felt oozing over the top of your boots:

Janet Napolitano urges officials to stop exaggerating violence on U.S. side of border - The Homeland Security secretary tries to make her case with FBI crime statistics, but public perceptions are hard to change
By Brian Bennett, Washington Bureau
February 1, 2011
Reporting from Washington
Battling the widespread perception that U.S. border cities have become more dangerous, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on Monday called on public officials to stop exaggerating the violence on the U.S. side of the border with Mexico and "be honest with the people we serve."
In a speech in El Paso, Napolitano cited FBI statistics showing that violent crime rates in Southwest border counties are down 30% over the last two decades and are "among the lowest in the nation."
Napolitano's effort to change the public perception of danger follows a heated campaign season last fall that saw candidates in border states frequently emphasizing the effects of illegal immigration on their communities.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, was criticized during the campaign for saying that headless bodies were being found in the Arizona desert, a statement she retracted after local coroners could not confirm her claim.
A few mayors in the region recently have said that the portrayal of their towns as dangerous has hurt them economically.
"Let's stick with the facts," Napolitano said. "We need to be up front and clear about what's really happening along our borders."
Even as the drug war has escalated just south of the border, crime rates in Arizona border towns have remained essentially flat, said Napolitano, citing the addition of personnel and technology in the region.
She added that the number of illegal immigrants apprehended at the border — an indication of illegal cross-border traffic — has decreased 36% over the last two years.
But Matthew Benson, a spokesman for Brewer, said: "The issue is there are tens of thousands of people being murdered immediately across the border in Mexico by the cartels. And the concern is that the violence by the cartels will begin spilling across the border."
For Arizona cattle ranchers, the day-to-day reality of drug and people smugglers traversing their property is "far more impacting" than Napolitano's comments indicate, said Rep. Ben Quayle (R-Ariz.).
"Statistics and averages might mean something to government bureaucrats and analysts in Washington, but try telling the people who deal with these realities every day that the violence along the border has subsided," said Quayle, who won his congressional seat in the Republican surge in November.
Angela Kelley, an immigration policy expert at the Center for American Progress in Washington, argued that there was a "pretty big disconnect" between the public perception about safety along the border and what the statistics showed.
"When you have politicians stirring the pot and turning up the heat on people's emotions and fear levels, you don't have a constructive debate on what to do," she said.
But she added: "Facts matter, but only to a point … because it is what citizens believe that defines the debate and sets the agenda in Washington. We can't be tone deaf to what the public believes."
Since 2004, the Border Patrol has doubled in size to more than 20,700 agents. Napolitano added that the Department of Homeland Security had increased the number of intelligence analysts focused on cartel violence.
With the help of a $600-million infusion of cash approved by Congress in 2010, the department will add 1,000 Border Patrol agents this year, 250 officers at ports of entry and 250 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, Napolitano said.
The increase comes as 1,200 National Guard troops that President Obama deployed to the border last year plan to stand down by the end of the summer.

A dismembered body was found in the vicinity of the Baja Malibu coastal tourist camp which is located in the Playas de Tijuana Delegation. The corpse had no legs or head, and the hands were mutilated.
At exactly 8:22 A.M., the grisly find was reported to the Radio Communications Center, which specified the location of a lifeless body, said the State Office of the Attorney General.
Upon arrival, officers immediately observed the body as it lay on a local road that leads to "Quinta del Cedro;" they also realized that (it) had no limbs or head.
The legs and arms were found near the body, but the head was not found. In addition, the body bore stab wounds to the upper thorax.
At the scene of crime, PGJE officials indicated that a machete and a knife were impounded. The body was taken to Medical Examiner by order of Attorney General, to perform an autopsy.

Un cuerpo desmembrado fue encontrado en las inmediaciones del fraccionamiento Baja Malibú, de la delegación Playas de Tijuana; el cadáver no tenía piernas ni cabeza, y las manos estaban mutiladas.
En punto de las 8:22 horas se reportó el macabro hallazgo a la Central de Radio, donde especificaban la localización de un cuerpo sin vida, informó la Procuraduría General de Justicia del Estado.
Al llegar los agentes visualizaron de manera inmediata el cuerpo, ya que estaba sobre la vía pública, en un camino vecinal que conduce a Urbi Quinta del Cedro, también se dieron cuenta que no tenía sus extremidades, incluyendo la cabeza.
Las piernas y brazos fueron localizados cerca del cuerpo, sin embargo la cabeza no fue encontrada; además el cuerpo presentaba heridas de arma punzocortante a la altura del tórax.
En la escena del crimen, la PGJE destacó que se embaló un machete y un cuchillo; el cuerpo fue trasladado al Servicio Médico Forense por orden del Ministerio Público, para que se le practique la necropsia de ley.

Neighborhood Watch commentary:
Communities in Punta Banda, including Ejido Cantú, have formed a Neighborhood Watch due to a rape that was committed recently, as well as a sudden influx of some who seem intent on creating trouble. The following commentary was posted on the Punta Banda Newsletter on Jan 22, 2011 (#18353): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/puntabandanewsletter/. It is somewhat lengthy, but provides an indication of how well a Neighborhood Watch Program functions when people actively participate:
"A few comments about the incident on the beach yesterday morning that resulted in the arrest of 2 yay-hoos who were going house to house down the beach trying to enter and do whatever they intended to do.
First, it was 9 a.m. in the morning...in the morning, broad daylight, people up and awake and drinking coffee and enjoying their lovely morning on the beach.
It was NOT the dark of night or 3 a.m. when they could sneak around like rats and not be seen. It was broad daylight.
Second, they were brazen and basically unafraid when they were yelled at them and when they were confronted. They just moved on down the beach and continued to do what they were doing at the next house when they were confronted prior to the police arriving.
Third, the neighborhood watch program DOES WORK. Calls went out up and down the spit and neighbors were alerted. One neighbor who was listening to the message being left on their answering machine about the two headed south looked outside and they were on the patio of their house.
Fourth, our community MUST be vigilant and pull together and watch out for each other, even if we are the type of people who came here to be alone or be left alone. We MUST watch out for each other and MUST be aggressive and resourceful and engaged in our surroundings and alert to who doesn't belong here. We are the best deterent and the message needs to go out to the community that we're all tired of this and we're all working together to keep criminal elements off our property and the property of our neighbors.
Know who your neighbors are even if they are a few houses away, have their numbers on speed dial and have 066 -- the 911 of Mexico -- on speed dial. Have a phone nearby, not upstairs or half a house away. USE the phone and make the calls. 066 was called instantly yesterday and the Policia were here in less than 10 minutes and the creeps are arrested.
Keep doors and windows locked, have dowels or boards on sliders and windows, have motion sensor lights front and back and sides, consider an alarm system (some are expensive and sophisticated -- others can be purchased on line or at Home Depot fairly inexpensively), consider security cameras -- again some are fairly inexpensive. Our dogs -- who were the subject of a ton of newsletter comments last week -- are excellent alarms and deterents. Let them use their keen senses and desire to protect us and their homes. Reward them and love them. Look to the US and what is happening there. Cities there are NOT safe. As governments slash budgets, public safety is on the chopping block in a big way. Police response times there are suffering and police are understaffed and not as engaged in the community. People need to look out for themselves and for others and know what to do and how to pull together.
These are desperate times and bad people are willing to do more desperate acts.
Yesterday Neighborhood Watch worked and yesterday we were lucky. It will work again and those that do these acts need to know it works.
Finally, the Policia from Maneadero did their jobs well and efficiently yesterday and they are to be thanked and praised. They responded quickly, took control of the incident, went after the bad guys with a vengeance, protected us and apprehended the 2 suspects. There were at least 5 police vehicles on the spit and they are conducting followup investigations. A simple thank you from us when we run into them at a lunch stand or see them sitting alongside the road, or we flag them down as they are driving past will go a long way folks toward making this the kind of place we all want it to be.
Stay safe, stay alert, stay engaged, be well."

Playas de Rosarito, B.C. , January 15, 2011
Dear Friends:
Once again, I would like to extend a cordial and warm greeting on behalf of the collaborators of the "Sistema para el Desarrollo Integral de la Familia" (DIF) of Rosarito.
This is a picture of those of us who took the Oath of Office to help "DIF" on 12/10/10: http://tinyurl.com/6zw4ao2
As planned, we met last Wednesday, 1/12/11 at the Salón Rojo of the Rosarito Beach Hotel. We had an excellent second planning meeting, and more programs and projects of DIF Rosarito were discussed at length.
Our Mayor, Mr. Javier Robles Aguirre, joined us at the end to say hello and take a picture with us. You will find this picture at: http://tinyurl.com/5wmkmn4 .
We had a very enthusiastic group of people who are excited about helping the less fortunate in our city. We had more people come to this second meeting and join our ranks. We welcome them wholeheartedly! Please invite your English-speaking friends to come join us for our next meeting, we need them! We will let you know a few days in advance when the meeting will be.
We want to report and thank you for your enormous help in allowing us to feed 300 families for Christmas; give out almost 4,500 toys (photos here: http://tinyurl.com/4j89pzd);gifted the first babies of 2011 with Layettes (pictures here: http://tinyurl.com/4pnmozc ); gave out groceries on 12/31/10 (pictures here: http://tinyurl.com/4v7ul3x ); gave out blankets at the Battered Women's Shelter on 1/12/11 (pictures here: http://tinyurl.com/45hfeoh ); and much more.
You can find a report in Spanish, and pictures, of all our activities in our Facebook page: "DIF Rosarito". Here is a shortcut: http://tinyurl.com/4nwveh7
And you can see all the pictures of what we've been doing at: http://tinyurl.com/4almdrv .
Several needs were identified for the month of January and we'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to please help us out so we may, in turn, help our families in need.
First, I would like to reiterate that we are still looking for cash donations as well as some specific items to help those who have a great need.
1) SCHOOL BREAKFASTS
We feed 25,000 cold breakfasts and 25,000 hot breakfasts to school children in Rosarito. The cost of each cold breakfast is .20¢ US per child.
The cost of each hot breakfast is .25¢ US per child.
These are the costs for us. We have approximately 25 school breakfast rooms throughout the city and in very needy neighborhoods. We believe that breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day to sustain good health, as much as physically as mental, for the boys and girls of Rosarito.
All of these breakfasts are approved by nutritionists who have identified the amounts of protein, minerals and carbohydrates that are needed daily.
The children's Moms volunteer in preparing and serving these breakfasts in a schoolroom that has been turned into a kitchen. The groceries have to be bought for them to prepare them; but unfortunately sometimes a child doesn't have enough money to pay the .20¢ US to pay for the breakfast and that's why we come to you, our valued volunteers, to help us find patrons so these children may have a daily breakfast.
Please remember that with only $10 Pesos, which equal about $1.00US Dollar, you can help a child eat breakfast for a 5 day week.
Sometimes this is the only meal that child may have during the day.
This is why, our DIF friends, we are soliciting your support; and knowing the altruistic spirit that characterizes you, we have no doubt that your response will be positive for we know that you will agree with us that to be able to draw a smile on the face of a healthy and strong child is priceless.
2) GROCERIES
The groceries for senior citizens cost $2.50US
The groceries for unwed mothers and destitute families is $2.25US
3) DAY CARE ITEMS
We have 3 Day Care Services for children of all ages. We need to paint them because they're not in very good condition. We need donations of: tall, portable dry-erase white boards (or on an easel - if you find it in Amazon.com, we can get it shipped for free), coffee pot, cribs, crib mattresses, bedding, bassinettes, child carriers, children's chairs, high chairs, etc. Everything for a nursery, new or used.
4) BLANKETS
In this cold season we need to help the very poor people who don't have a way to keep warm; it is expected that because of the weather phenomenon "La Niña" we will have extreme cold conditions from January thru March.
We get the blankets at a very special, reduced price of $100 Pesos or $9 US Dollars each. We are asking for your monetary contribution. Or you may donate blankets as well.
DIF is self-supporting so we are in extreme need of your donations. We help out the people who need it the most in our city; mainly the children, the single mothers, and the senior citizens, without religious or political party prejudice. We have carefully identified all of those who are truly in the worst economic conditions.
We are able to give you a receipt for a tax deduction for México income tax. We will be investigating the possibility of setting up a US tax deduction as well in the near future.
We accept donations in cash in Pesos or in Dollars. If you write us a check, at this time we are only set up to accept it in Pesos and please make it out to: "Sistema DIF Municipal." We are also looking into the possibility of accepting checks in dollars and from US Banks soon.
If you have a group of friends who speak English, please forward the email with this attachment to all. We really need your help with dissemination so we may achieve our goals of helping out our indigent population.
Thanking you in advance for your altruistic spirit; I remain at your service.
Sincerely,

RELEASE : 11-009 NanoSail-D Ejects: NASA Seeks Amateur Radio Operators' Aid to Listen for Beacon Signal
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- Wednesday, Jan. 19 at 11:30 a.m. EST, engineers at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., confirmed that the NanoSail-D nanosatellite ejected from Fast Affordable Scientific and Technology Satellite, FASTSAT. The ejection event occurred spontaneously and was identified this morning when engineers at the center analyzed onboard FASTSAT telemetry. The ejection of NanoSail-D also has been confirmed by ground-based satellite tracking assets.
Amateur ham operators are asked to listen for the signal to verify NanoSail-D is operating. This information should be sent to the NanoSail-D dashboard at: http://nanosaild.engr.scu.edu/dashboard.htm. The NanoSail-D beacon signal can be found at 437.270 MHz.
The NanoSail-D science team is hopeful the nanosatellite is healthy and can complete its solar sail mission. After ejection, a timer within NanoSail-D begins a three-day countdown as the satellite orbits the Earth. Once the timer reaches zero, four booms will quickly deploy and the NanoSail-D sail will start to unfold to a 100-square-foot polymer sail. Within five seconds the sail fully unfurls.
"This is great news for our team. We’re anxious to hear the beacon which tells us that NanoSail-D is healthy and operating as planned," said Dean Alhorn, NanoSail-D principal investigator and aerospace engineer at the Marshall Center. "The science team is hopeful to see that NanoSail-D is operational and will be able to unfurl its solar sail."
On Dec. 6,, 2010, NASA triggered the planned ejection of NanoSail-D from FASTSAT. At that time, the team confirmed that the door successfully opened and data indicated a successful ejection. Upon further analysis, no evidence of NanoSail-D was identified in low-Earth orbit, leading the team to believe NanoSail-D remained inside FASTSAT.
The FASTSAT mission has continued to operate as planned with the five other scientific experiments operating nominally.
"We knew that the door opened and it was possible that NanoSail-D could eject on its own," said Mark Boudreaux, FASTSAT project manager at the Marshall Center. "What a pleasant surprise this morning when our flight operations team confirmed that NanoSail-D is now a free flyer."
If the deployment is successful, NanoSail-D will stay in low-Earth orbit between 70 and 120 days, depending on atmospheric conditions. NanoSail-D is designed to demonstrate deployment of a compact solar sail boom system that could lead to further development of this alternative solar sail propulsion technology and FASTSAT’s ability to eject a nano-satellite from a micro-satellite -- while avoiding re-contact with the FASTSAT satellite bus.

RELEASE : 11-009 NanoSail-D Ejects: NASA Seeks Amateur Radio Operators' Aid to Listen for Beacon Signal
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- Wednesday, Jan. 19 at 11:30 a.m. EST, engineers at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., confirmed that the NanoSail-D nanosatellite ejected from Fast Affordable Scientific and Technology Satellite, FASTSAT. The ejection event occurred spontaneously and was identified this morning when engineers at the center analyzed onboard FASTSAT telemetry. The ejection of NanoSail-D also has been confirmed by ground-based satellite tracking assets.
Amateur ham operators are asked to listen for the signal to verify NanoSail-D is operating. This information should be sent to the NanoSail-D dashboard at: http://nanosaild.engr.scu.edu/dashboard.htm. The NanoSail-D beacon signal can be found at 437.270 MHz.
The NanoSail-D science team is hopeful the nanosatellite is healthy and can complete its solar sail mission. After ejection, a timer within NanoSail-D begins a three-day countdown as the satellite orbits the Earth. Once the timer reaches zero, four booms will quickly deploy and the NanoSail-D sail will start to unfold to a 100-square-foot polymer sail. Within five seconds the sail fully unfurls.

GMAIL & INTERNET EXPLORER ISSUES - RELATED CORRESPONDENCE - Hopefully this will shed some light on a couple of issues related to email applications and internet browsers:
From: Lyle Davis:
Several folks on my email list(s) have written or called to tell me photo images are not coming through on my emails; others say things are working just fine.
That is problem #1.
Problem #2 is, several others are saying that my BCC (blind carbon copies) are showing email addresses of those to whom I am emailing. (The whole purpose of using BCC is to conceal addresses of those you mail to, so as to thwart hackers).
I passed along the problem to Troy Larson, my Art Director. It appears the solution to Problem #1 is on your browser settings, particularly if you are using Internet Explorer, and/or the need for me to embed pictures rather than forward what I received. Problem #2, we are still working on. Here's what Troy had to say:

Subject: Re: gmail problems
To: lyle davis lyledavis4 at gmail dot com
Here is what I found out on the images question:
If you read some of the many other threads on this topic, you'll see that there are at least two issues involved.
1. Users of Internet Explorer need to have the viewing of Mixed Content - i.e. secure and non-secure items on one page - specifically enabled in order to see embedded images in GMail messages.
2. The forwarding of messages containing embedded images is currently not working properly in GMail.
So if you receive messages from friends with embedded pictures that they have FORWARDED to you using GMail, you may not be able to see the images. If you FORWARD such messages to friends using GMail, they may not be able to see the images.
However, if you send a NEW message to friends containing embedded images, they should be able to see them easily if they use Firefox or Chrome or Opera - but may have to change their internet settings to see them if they use Internet Explorer.
GMail are [sic] aware of the forwarding issue and are working to correct it.
As far as the other issue goes, there does not seem to be a clear answer on that one. You might want to call gmail on that one. I am just not finding it.
Now as for the cover, just let me know when you have something. Send me a pdf of the front page and I will work from there.
Later,
Troy

ROSARITO SPANISH STUDY GROUP - TODAY'S WORD(S)
LELO (Mex.) - SILLY, "GOOFY," DISPLAYING A PHYSICALLY UNSTEADY OR IMPEDED MANNER.
Le or Les cannot be combined with Lo, La, Los, or Las; Le and Les change to Se when used together with these direct object pronouns..
Example: Roberto le mandó las flores a ella. Roberto se las mandó.
Roberto sent (to her) the flowers (to her). Roberto sent to her them (the flowers).
Note: When using the inflected form of a verb, the indirect object pronoun precedes the direct object pronoun, which in turn, preceeds the inflected verb.
The command form is an exception, i.e., Damelo, or Ven damelo (the indirect object and direct object pronouns follow the command form).
Give me it. (or Give it to me) or Come here and give it to me (familiar). The latter phrase may denote a brusque and demanding manner.
Lalo* decided to give it to him. Lalo decidía a darselo.
*Lalo is a name of Latin origin, and the meaning of Lalo is "to sing a lullaby."
There is an "IT" in Spanish.
~~~One-time Schedule Change~~~
A mayor's meeting with the expatriate community is scheduled for Monday, January 17, 2011, at 11:00 A.M. at the Rosarito Beach Hotel; a State Governor's representative will also attend. The meeting will conflict with our class. Therefore, the class will be rescheduled to be held on Friday.

Rape in Punta Banda
From: vincebaja@gmail.com
A few notes about the reward for information leading to the arrest and
conviction of the two perpetrators of the crime against the young girl
on December 30th:
1. The car used by the attackers was described as follows:
"The car apparently was a two-door Blazer or Bronco type vehicle,
dark-colored, with brownish windows; it was old and faded-looking, and
had no back seats."
2. We are not collecting any money at this point. When the
criminals are brought to justice, we will contact each and every donor
to honor his/her pledge. Currency, US checks, and PayPal will be the
options you have to make payment.
3. We will not take it upon ourselves to determine to whom and at
what point the reward will be paid. We are only amateurs organizing the
effort; we are in contact with a trusted Mexican-licensed private
investigator who will be asked to navigate through the "system"
on our behalf, pro bono.
4. We are open to your suggestions/ ideas about how to see that
justice is done and, equally importantly, how this and other types of
crime can be reduced or prevented in the future in Punta Banda.
The response to this situation by the community has been nothing short
of incredible.

Don Carlos Opera
It is time for Don Carlos on Wednesday Jan 5th at 6.30pm. The Opera usually lasts about 4 hours, so we usually get back around 11pm. I am going and have 2-3 seats for people who are interested in going with me. Let me know if you are interested. You will need to bring your SENTRI passes and your passport.
The ticket at the Chula Vista AMC theatre is $18 and bring something extra for some food. I leave about 3.30pm to allow time to get through the border and then to get something to eat.
If anyone else wants to drive as well and wants to volunteer space in their car, maybe I can coordinate that.

A JOKE THAT TURNED INTO A SPANISH LESSON
An email joke was re-sent with additional commentary, since it was ripe with a certain linguistic humor, which in turn sparked a discussion that related to lessons that we are covering in the Rosarito Study Group:
The Joke:
A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.'
'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'
A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender (la computadora) because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
(THIS GETS BETTER!)
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
The women won.

ROSARITO SPANISH STUDY GROUP (Tuesday & Thursday sessions)
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Beginner's classes will be conducted at the Club Marena old club house. The classes are designed for those who have little or no experience with the Spanish language.
Sessions begin on Tuesday, the 11th of January, from 2:30 P.M. to 3:30 P.M.
Club Marena is at Km 38.5, on the Tijuana-Ensenada "free road."
Directions heading south from Rosarito (paralleling the toll road):
After you pass Las Rocas Hotel, you will see a 5-story tall statue of Jesus on the east side of the toll road (can’t miss it). Once you pass Jesus, look for a series of tall white buildings on the coastal side of the free road; that is Club Marena.
When you turn off the highway into the complex, the guard caseta will be directly in front of you. Ask the guard to direct you to the old club house.
Bring a Spanish dictionary or an English-Spanish dictionary, 3X5 index cards, and note-keeping materials.
Another Beginning group is currently in progress on Mondays in Rosarito, at the Las Mañanitas restaurant in Rosarito. The classes are held from 1:30 P.M. to 2:30 P.M.
