Sen. Ben Cardin addressed a student group at Montgomery College last week, and much of the talk centered on the economy, but given the milieu, it's no surprise Cardin's own college days came up. In his official biography, Cardin touts that he was first in his class at the University of Maryland School of Law, Class of 1967 — a fact that MC Prexy Brian Johnson noted in his introduction of Maryland's junior senator. Cardin said there's more to the story. While still a second-year student — in the middle of his class — Cardin ran for a seat in the Maryland House of Delegates. "Then I got elected to the Maryland General Assembly and appointed to the committee that had the budget of the University of Maryland School of Law," Cardin told the more than 100 students. "I don't know how it happened that I went up in class standing." — Douglas Tallman News Clips Report Reporter's Notebook: Mom, Morella inspire Cokie to pen book The Gazette of Politics and Business 12/12/2008 Reporter's Notebook: Mom, Morella inspire Cokie to pen book —Melissa J.

Morella, who once taught at Montgomery College, introduced Roberts at the Dec. 3 event. Morella called Roberts "a friend I admire mightily" and said her books "sparkle with humanity and humor."

News Clips Report Reporter's Notebook Once upon a time, Santa needed a lobbyist Gazette, The 12/12/2008 A Japanese reporter asked him what he knew about reindeer, to which the guv replied that he knew it was illegal to have reindeer in Maryland, but that he was 'going to sign an executive order to allow Santa and his reindeer to do their work.' A tip led us to Del. Rick Impallaria, who shed some light on this holiday story that dates to 2005. That's when, as Impallaria tells it, his son Ricky a fifth-grader at the time came to the Middle River Republican with a concern that the reindeer restrictions would mean that Santa couldn't come to Maryland. Impallaria raised the issue in a caucus meeting, leading former Gov. Bob Ehrlich to declare himself 'pro-reindeer' and issue a proclamation allowing reindeer into Maryland airspace on Dec. 24 so Santa could go to work. That led to a media blitz, with Ricky appearing on Fox News and in newspapers. Fast forward to this year, when through the wonders of the Internet a director of a children's show on Japanese television network NHK found the story. The show's host flew in from Japan to interview Ricky, now 13. Ricky went from a skeptic to 'a true believer' in St. Nick, his father said. 'He's an uncle now, so it's time to believe,' Impallaria said. The television host presented Ricky with a Japanese Christmas cloth, a traditional saki cup (apparently they're not as strict on underage drinking in Japan) and a wreath. The Impallarias gave State House pins and patches from Annapolis.

  • Pakistani Immigrants
    Pakistani Immigrants by Kathleen M. Moore Introduction The experience of Pakistani Americans has been shaped by the convergence of two immigration trends, the first Asian and the second from the Muslim world. The ear- liest arrivals to the United States were Punjabi men in the 1890s, and immigration from the area that now constitutes Pakistan lasted until the U.S. Congress placed severe restrictions on all Asian immigration through the 1917 „barred Asiatic zone‰ law and the 1924 Johnson-Reed immigration act. Though they were mostly Sikhs, they were often classified in official records as Asian Indian or, alternatively, Pun- jabi or Hindu immigrants. Most were from soldiering and farming backgrounds, and many settled in the agricultural sector of California. An estimated 6,000 to 7,000 rural immigrants arrived and settled in the United States between 1890 and 1917. After an interruption of nearly 50 years, Pakistani immigration resumed in the late 1960s, following the adoption of the 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act. This second wave witnessed a steady upward trend in the number of Pakistanis admitted into the United States. Most have arrived as family units and typically came with university degrees in hand or under student visas to pursue degrees in the United States. Many are highly skilled and thus are in high demand in the American economy. These immigrants are financially well off, with household incomes well above the median income in the United States. On the other hand, a proportion of immigrants at the close of the 20th century are less-skilled persons who have been admitted through the immigration serviceÊs diversity visa lottery program and other channels.
