 He is GONE!!!!.. Epalumni.Com By Robert Castillo November 17, 2009 03:14am CDT The Latino community throughout the country celebrates today following the news that CNN Commentator, Lou Dobbs has supposedly resigned his association with CNN. Its rumored that he will be taking a position with some conservative media. However, it has not yet been announced where he will work but assumptions are that he will be joining the Fox Network. Dobbs has been an outspoken opponent of immigration issues particularly when it pertains to Latinos. His opposition to Latinos has at times gone as far as fabricating negative stories in order to make his point. A Sixty Minutes interview with Diane Sawyer has been the prime example as to how far he will go to blame Latinos for what is wrong with the country. Many suspect that his departure was prompted by the rising opposition from the Latino population and their request that he be censured or removed from his CNN position because of his determination to make comments and conclusions without any basis or fact. Many have pledged to continue to follow his public media career since they expect him to be even more bias in a conservative news outlet.

MORE Gunmen kill US airman in attack on bar in Mexico
Associated Press November 5, 2009 10:33 AM CDT CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico — A gang of gunmen killed an off-duty U.S. airman and five other people early Wednesday at a bar in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez, authorities said. Meanwhile, gunmen assassinated an army general recently named police chief of Garcia, a town in the northern state of Nuevo Leon. It the latest attack against a military official appointed to take over municipal police forces, which President Felipe Calderon has acknowledged are plagued with corruption. All 70 officers of the Garcia police force were questioned in the attack, Nuevo Leon Gov. Rodrigo Medina said at a news conference. He said soldiers and state police will be sent to patrol the town. There was no immediate information on a motive for the attack that killed the U.S. airman at the Amadeus bar in Ciudad Juarez, which also left a seventh person wounded, said Arturo Sandoval, a spokesman for prosecutors in northern Chihuahua state. But the methods bore the hallmarks of attacks by drug cartels. MORE.  Jose

AMD’s Ex-CEO Ruiz Is Said to Be Executive Cited in Galleon Case By Ian King Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Hector Ruiz, former chief executive officer of Advanced Micro Devices Inc., is the AMD executive who government prosecutors allege provided information to a defendant in the Galleon insider-trading case, a person familiar with the investigation said. An unnamed “AMD executive” was cited in a complaint filed against Danielle Chiesi, who is accused of using nonpublic information to trade stocks. The person identifying Ruiz as the executive asked to remain anonymous because those details of the case aren’t public. Ruiz stepped down as CEO last year and became chairman of Globalfoundries Inc., which was spun off by AMD, the world’s second-largest maker of personal-computer processors. MORE. Fitch Affirms and Withdraws Maverick County, TX Limited Tax Debt at 'BB' Business Wire October 26, 2009 04:06 PM Eastern Daylight Time Fitch withdraws its ratings on all above debt due to the issuer's stated intention not to provide any further financial updates to Fitch. All of the debt listed above, except for series 2004, will be refunded with bonds (not rated by Fitch) which sold on Oct. 15, 2009 and close on Oct. 27, 2009. The
Negative Outlook reflects the potential for added financial pressure on
the county's weakened general operations as the result of debt
obligations issued by the county's public finance corporation (PFC) for
a criminal detention center that may require additional financial
support under certain scenarios. The 'BB' rating reflects the county's
chronic deficit general fund balance position and poor liquidity. The
county has posted negative general fund balances in five out of the
last six fiscal years along with thin to negative fund balances in
other major funds. Some progress is evident in the county's financial
recovery plan, which set aside a portion of property tax revenues for
deficit reduction in fiscal 2008 and 2009. MORE  DIRECTORY UPDATED ON JULY 24, 2009   Published in San Antonio, Texas (210)347-5907 |
