We need a major investigation! Call, email your US Senators and request an investigation.
Sorus has time to jump into the appeal. Put your gloves on Sorus.
The paper and money trail should be easy to follow in an investigation. The naked shorts and the FTD list would be a good place to start. A class action should get this started and where it ends will be interesting. The share price of Dendreon may have been destroyed, but the story behind the action is just starting. Did the BOD and management breach their fiduciary duty, have the naked shorts with the FTD have broken SEC rules and laws? All good questions that investigations should uncover. This is not over, but just starting....
The bashers are busy trying to pry the shares away from longs so the naked shorts can get real shares to replace their fake shares to get their profit. If the longs continue to hold their shares and do not put them in the for sale block, the naked shorts can not find real shares to replace the fake shares they created and will not get their bucket of gold. That is why the bashers are hammering this 9 cent stock, naked shorts need real shares.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
That is the reason that many will be bidding at the auction to buy all of Dendreon. Looking for a bid over $3 billion.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Please explain why you believe the battle has started.
So true. Provenge has huge value to a big pharma.
$3 Billion to $4.5 Billion range.
How about Dendreon for an apitizer at $4 Billion.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
1. Will it be a sealed bid process, end with one bid or
2. Sealed bid process, open the bids, post, allow to bid again
3. Open active auction with continuous bidding until an end date and time.
Please post, TIA
In sports they refer to it as addition by subtraction. By purchasing Dendreon you also keep the technology out of the hands of your competition and instantly become the leader in cancer immuniotheray.
Sentiment: Buy
It can take over $5 Billion to bring a treatment through developmental clinicals with no guarantee that the FDA or EU will approve it. In Debdreon you get Provenge, with FDA and EU approvals in hand. What a bargain if a large pharma buys the entire company for a few billion. No risk with Provenge already FDA and EU approved.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
The company will sell at the cost basis of the Soros stock in Dendreon. Soros has big connections in the investment community that will make it happen.
Sentiment: Buy
Why would there be any shorted stock at this price. Shorts are gone.

The Defense Department on July 11 outlined new plans to streamline operations and cut down on costs, focusing on cloud strategies to be handled primarily by the Defense Information Systems Agency.
With DISA brokering the cloud services for military components, DOD seeks to move the department's network applications from a "duplicative, cumbersome and costly set of application silos" to an envirionment offering greater agility and cost-effectiveness, according to the department.
"Cloud computing and cloud services offer unprecedented opportunities for cost savings, enhanced information sharing and mission effectiveness. However, the Department of Defense's mission assurance and information interoperability must be maintained as we take advantage of these emerging new capabilities," DOD CIO Teri Takai said in a memorandum to Pentagon leadership. "The key to successfully leveraging cloud computing will be managing the new risks associated with an increasing dependence on rapidly emerging commercial technologies."
DISA's lead on the strategy is designed to emphasize those priorities, as well as better position the department to meet FedRAMP requirements and integrate with U.S. Cyber Commond defense operations. It's also implementing department-wide standardization and laying the foundation for future defense IT plans and policies, according to DOD.
"We are moving to an enterprise cloud environment that provides tangible benefits across the department by supporting the delivery of the joint information environment, from the continental United States to the warfighter at the tactical edge. This strategy lays the groundwork, as part of the Joint Information Environment framework, for achieving cloud adoption within the department," Takai wrote. "It focuses on the creation of department core data centers, enterprise cloud infrastructure and sustainment of cloud services."
Under the plan, DOD components will be required to obtain cloud services through DISA or obtain a waiver from a designated review authority, according to the agency. DISA's role as a broker is defined by the National Institute of Science and Technology's cloud computing reference architecture.

The Complete Diabetes Lifestyle
Reviewed by
Marlene Satter
Life as a diabetic holds unique challenges that can seem overwhelming. Authors Kay and Stephens tell the story of how Kay adapted to her own diagnosis and learned to make modifications in diet lifestyle and even thought patterns. Kay now a diabetes lifestyle coach has teamed with Stephens a longtime writer to educate others by describing her own experience.
Clear accessible and sympathetic this book is an excellent guide for readers newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes—or for those in need of a dose of fresh insights and encouragement. Frustrations can abound in getting personalized attention in healthcare and Kay addresses the need to take responsibility for one's own health by putting in place a group of "friends"—dietitians endocrinologists even dentists—who understand diabetes and what it does to the body and with whom a patient can develop a good rapport. A proactive approach to self-education is also in order she says. Diabetics should make sure that all their questions are answered and keep track of their blood glucose levels food intake exercise and the way they feel.
Chatty and practical the book's engaging style makes the information much more palatable such as this bit on exercise: "A little extra effort to get air into your lungs is good when you exercise. Gasping for air and clutching your side is not."
Kay relates her own failures as well as successes which makes everything seem more realistic. She explains the reasoning behind constant measuring and testing and points out the tremendous difference that exercise can have on a diabetic's efforts to control blood sugar and weight gain. Confiding her own frustrations and setbacks then telling readers how she conquered them and keeps them at bay she's full of upbeat enthusiasm that is invaluable to someone facing a diagnosis that can feel like a life sentence.
The book explains basic information such as types of test kits the roles of different health care professionals and how exercise can have a powerful effect on a diabetic's well-being. It also offers a brief discussion of alternative therapies such as massage and aromatherapy and information on the "mind—body connection"—a positive attitude can transform a person's approach to the disease. In a section at the back of the book the authors also provide handy forms and "fifty little things you can do to better manage your diabetes." These are indeed simple actions any one of which can make a difference not just in attitude but in overall health.
Compact and concise this book provides a manageable upbeat understanding of the disease—not just for diabetics but also for friends and family.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
United States Patent US. Cl. 252-135 9 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The preparation of agglomerates by subjecting a mass of finely divided solid particles to a tumbling action by a continuously moving surface, adding a liquid containing alkali metal hydroxide to said tumbling particles, and continuing said tumbling to form said agglomerates.
This invention relates to the manufacture of agglomerates containing an alkali metal hydroxide in substantially homogeneous nodular form.
Alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and lithium hydroxide is solid form have utility and there is a substantial demand for such materials. These alkali metal hydroxides are commercially obtainable in the form of flakes and in drums. Where drums are employed, molten alkali metal hydroxide is poured into the drums and the drums are cooled.
Alkali metal hydroxide in the form of agglomerates in substantially homogeneous nodular form has many advantages over these prior art forms since it is relatively dust free and yet flows readily from containers in which it may be stored.
Useful products are also obtained by mixing alkali metal hydroxides with other solids. For example, mixtures of caustic soda with cleansing agents such as sodium silicates, soda ash, sodium sulfate, trisodium phosphate, sodium pyrophosphate, wetting agents, e-tc., have been prepared for use as detergents.
Prior art mixtures of alkali metal hydroxides and other solids such as detergent materials are generally mixtures of anhydrous flake caustic soda or other alkali metal hydroxide and the detergent material or materials and thus contain discrete particles of each ingredient. Often, the added detergent materials are solids of finer particle size than the caustic soda so that some separation occurs in mixtures of the two, causing a ratio of alkali metal hydroxide to the other materials to vary somewhat resulting in harm to fabrics, materials, etc., when the percentage of caustic is too high and incomplete removal of dirt when the percentage is too low for detergent applications.
Accordingly, a process has been developed in the prior art wherein flakes of substantially anhydrous sodium hydroxide are steamed with saturated steam to moisten the surfaces thereof. A finely divided solid of the desired material such as alkali metal phosphates, sodium silicates, etc., having a particle size smaller than that of the sodium hydroxide flakes, preferably about 60 mesh or finer, is then admixed with the sodium hydroxide adhering to the moist surfaces. The mixture is tumbled or otherwise agitated to mix the two ingredients uniformly. However, this process has certain inherent disadvantages due to the necessity of using anhydrous caustic flake which must be steamed and which is a much more expensive product than a conventional 74% commercial caustic liquor.
Accordingly, it is a purpose of this invention to provide a novel process for producing agglomerates in substan- 3 ,44 1,5 l 1 Patented Apr. 29, 1969 tially homogeneous nodular form of alkali metal hydroxide alone or in admixture with other solid materials.
In accordance with the instant invention, agglomerates containing alkali metal hydroxide are produced by subjecting a mass of finely divided solid particles of at least one material to be incorporated in the agglomerates to a tumbling action by a continuously moving surface such as the inner surface of a rotating cylinder or drum or a rotating pan or disc tilted at an angle. A liquid containing alkali metal hydroxide is then added to the tumbling particles in an amount sufiicient to produce agglomerates containing at least 10 percent by weight alkali metal hydroxide and continuing the tumbling to form the agglomerates.
The agglometrated particles produced by the method of this invention generally range from about 6 inch diameter to 1 /2 inches diameter. While the method of this invention may be employed for producing agglomerates of pure, or substantially pure, alkali metal hydroxide, a variety of solid substances, particularly cleaning agents or detergent substances can be admixed with the sodium hydroxide, according to this invention, to produce agglomerates of sodium hydroxide and the additional material.
Where pure, or substantially pure, alkali metal hydroxide agglomerates are to be prepared, a seed bed of finely divided particles of the alkali metal hydroxide is provided in a rotating cylinder or inclined pan and alkali metal hydroxide, preferably in the form of an aqueous solution, such as an aqueous 74% sodium hydroxide solution, is then poured or sprayed onto the particles. The process could also be performed by pouring molten alkali metal hydroxide onto the tumbling seed bed. Where the process of this invention is employed to prepare agglomerates of alkali metal hydroxide mixed with other solids, the seed bed may be made up of particles of one or more of the other solids or a mixture of the other solids with particles of the alkali metal hydroxide. The additional solids may also be added by mixing or dissolving in the alkali metal hydroxide solution.
It is important in performing this process to maintain the temperature of the bed of material below about 175 F. since at higher temperatures the bed tends to become mealy and does not mix properly. It is preferred to maintain the temperature about F. Such temperature generally may be maintained by controlling the temperature of the liquid being added to the bed. The particles in the seed bed tend to form a heat sink whereby the temperature of the liquid is reduced on contacting and mixing with the seed particles. Accordingly, the liquid is heated before pouring by conventional means to a temperature sufliciently high to maintain the desired bed temperature after contact and mixing with the material in the bed. Temperature control may also be obtained by jacketting the rotating drum or inclined pan and circulating a fluid such as water of the proper temperature through the jacket.
The particles may be cooled in the tumbling apparatus or merely stored after discharge from the apparatus and permitted to cool during storage. However, where desir' able, the particles from the tumbling apparatus may be cooled, preferably with dehumidified air in a conventional cooling apparatus such as a rotating cylinder or drum wherein cooling air is passed over the material passing through the drum. Other types of cooling apparatus include a fluidized bed column and a vibrating spiral elevator.
Detergent materials, which may be incorporated with the alkali metal hydroxide in the agglomerates, include alkaline, acid, or neutral builder salts, wetting agents and auxiliary additives such as absorbent siliceous compounds including calcium silicate, fullers earth, finely divided silicia, diatomaceous earth and mixtures thereof, anti-soil redeposition agents, for example, carboxymethylcellulose etc. Builder salts which can be agglomerated with the alkali metal hydroxide in accordance with the present inamounts indicated in the table are introduced into a 6 /2- inch diameter, FHA-inch deep inclined pan similar to that illustrated in FIGURE 5, p. 92 of Chemical Engineering for Feb. 5, 1962. The axis of the shaft on which the pan is mounted is tilted at an angle of 75 to the horizontal.

One advantage of the instant process is that it produces homogeneous agglomerates which have superior and more uniform solubility in water along with improved handling and storage properties. A particular advantage of the process of this invention is that a solution of the alkali metal hydroxide such as, for example, the commercial 74% caustic liquor is employed in producing the product whereas the prior art generally requires the use of anhydrous caustic which is considerably more expensive than caustic liquor. Another advantage of the process of this invention is that some of the additives or ingredients are encapsulated in the agglomerates whereby unwanted reactions which occur in conventional mechanical mixtures are eliminated or substantially reduced. For example, a-gglomerates with an encapsulated surface active agent can be blended with chlorinated trisodium phosphate to prevent excessive loss of chlorine during storage resulting from the intimate contact of the surface active agent with the chlorine-bearing compound.
The following examples further illustrate the invention:
ample a seed bed of the materials indicated in Table I below under the heading Seed Material and in the A product similar to Example I, Run 1, is produced by the method of Example I with the exception that a 45 percent by weight aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide is substituted for the 74% by weight aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide.

EXAMPLE IV A product similar to Example I, Run 1, is produced by the method of Example I with the exception that in lieu of the inclined pan the material is tumbled inside a 2-foot diameter rotating drum, 8 feet long, rotated at 3 r.p.m. by an electric motor through a conventional drive mechanism.
EXAMPLE V In accordance with this example a seed bed of 4/ 14 mesh particles of sodium hydroxide is provided in an 11- inch diameter, 6 /2-inch deep inclined pan and pellets are continuously added during processing. The initial amount and the rate of -addition during processing of the pellets are indicated in Table II below under the appropriate headings. The inclined pan employed is similar to that illustrated in FIGURE 5, p. 92 of Chemical Engineering for Feb. 5, 1962. The axis of the shaft on which the pan is mounted is tilted at an angle of 60 to the horizontal. The pan is rotated at 40 r.p.m. by means of a conventional electric motor and drive means driving the shaft.
A solution of a composition indicated in Table 11 below is preheated to 200 F. and poured onto the starting seed material during rotation at the addition rate indicated in Table II below. Heat is removed by normal circulation of atmospheric air. The temperature and relative humidity of the atmospheric air which is in contact with the material in the pan and the length of time for each agglomeration run are indicated in Table II below.

It seems as though director Paul Schrader and writer Bret Easton Ellis have yet to learn that the parody teasers for their upcoming exploration of sexual obsession in Los Angeles with The Canyons is only hurting their film. We got a 1950s-style look and then a grindhouse-esque teaser, and now one, final "parody" trailer has landed in the form of a 1930s-style preview.
With a cast including porn star James Deen and tabloid queen Lindsay Lohan, it does give us a look at the ensemble, but does little to kickstart any sort of anticipation for this one. Check it out below and hopefully we'll get an official trailer soon as the film has officially been completed and currently searching for distribution.
It's not The Hills… THE CANYONS is a contemporary L.A. noir from director Paul Schrader, writer Bret Easton Ellis, and producer Braxton Pope about the dangers of sexual obsession and ambition, both personally and professionally, among a group of young people in their 20′s and how one chance meeting connected to the past unravels all of their lives, resulting in deceit, paranoia, cruel mind games and ultimately violence.
The Canyons is aiming for a 2013 release.

Report cites concerns about LAPD officer training
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — A federal monitor overseeing reforms at the Los Angeles police department says a violent clash at a pro-immigration rally raised questions about the progress of officer training.
Among the questions Cherkasky, a former prosecutor, was concerned with were command, control, strategy and tactics at the scene, and policies and procedures on the use of force.
"Change is difficult," Cherkasky wrote. "It is particularly difficult in large organizations, and it is not unusual or unexpected that vestiges of pre-change behavior may, at times, be revealed. The challenge for the department is how to respond when this occurs."
Police Chief William Bratton said that he had the same concerns and that the department was working closely with Cherkasky.
Four investigations have been ordered to review police efforts to drive protesters and journalists out of MacArthur Park. More than 60 citizen complaints have been filed involving as many as 100 officers, Bratton said.
A federal judge appointed Cherkasky in 2001 to oversee a consent decree requiring more than 100 reforms after the Rampart station corruption scandal.
Scores of convictions deemed tainted by the Rampart scandal allegations were thrown out and about $70 million in settlements were paid by the city. Dozens of officers were investigated, leading to some resignations and internal discipline, but there were only a few prosecutions.

Is Grenoble For You? Nestled in the southern French Alps mountain range, Grenoble is one of the best college towns in all of France. The city has a relaxed atmosphere with just over 150,000 people, making Grenoble the ideal place to learn French.
Is Lyon For You? Lyon is one of the greatest secrets of France. Not only is it the center of world cooking, it has some of the best Roman ruins. Lyon is perfect for students seeking courses taught in English with local Lyonnais classmates, and in a city without many tourists.
Is Paris For You? The city where everything flourishes past excess. European architecture built more defiantly. Politics felt for passionately. And philosophy argued more intently. It is Paris breeding this love and commitment in everything its people do. Take in a gallery, go see a show, or simply read and write the senses enveloping you, making dreaming a full-time job.
This program is designed for the serious French-learning student - held at the University of Grenoble Stendhal, and nestled in the mountains (and with courses only taught in French!), attending this university is the perfect immersion for students to rapidly develop their French language proficiency. This program is available for a semester or a short term summer session, with housing options varying dependent on the program. Inclusive program excursions include weekend trips to Paris and Lyon!
Study abroad in Lyon, where Panrimo partners with University of Lyon 3 to offer a variety of course options taught in English across many subject areas. French courses are also available to students from all levels of language study. Did you know Lyon is the world's center of gastronomy and regional cooking? Delight your taste buds and other senses as you explore this city and avoid the tourist traps!
These different study abroad opportunities with Panrimo offer something for every student wanting to study abroad in France. Check the Panrimo website for more information!

Grenoble Study Abroad - SummerSubmitted on 11/23/2013 by dkoga | Yes, I would recommend this program
Although I was only in Grenoble for a month, it was an amazing experience. A typical day was getting up in the morning, stopping at a bakery or grocery store that was below my apartment for breakfast, and heading to school on the train. It was so different for me to take public transit to school every day, also walking a bit to and from the transit stops but it was a GREAT experience for me. I stayed a little ways outside of Grenoble with an amazing host family. My house was really nice and my host mom made delicious food every single night I was there. The school was nice and so were the students. I met students from all over the world which was one of the best experiences of my trip. I wasn't a huge fan of my professor but I think that was just bad luck because most students seemed to enjoy their classes. Grenoble itself is a cute city that has a lot of charm but still quite a bit to do. It is a great place to be a student. There are fabulous restaurants, museums, parks, festivals, and probably whatever else you are interested in. It is a short train ride away from major cities like Lyon and Paris. Panrimo does a good job providing support during the program. It is a small program, which is nice. The excursions were fun and interesting, but I felt as though since it is still kind of a young program, that they are still perfecting some things about the excursions. The school itself offers amazing trips and opportunities like hiking, rafting, trips to the mountains, etc. That was one of my favorite things about Universite de Grenoble. I was able to take a French cooking class, a trip to Avignon, and a trip to Chamonix ( a mountain town in the Alps).
How could this program be improved?
I wish the excursions would have been more organized and I wish there would have been more students in the program. I think both of these things will develop further with time since it is still a young program.Was this review...?Useful: 1 Inspiring: 0Female | Age: 19-24 | Forest Grove, Oregon | Other

A day in the life of a ParisianSubmitted on 11/01/2011 by Haley Daignault | Yes, I would recommend this program
My day usually began with waking up, having a baguette on the way to the metro station to get to school by 9:00am. My classes were challenging but I can't say I didn't learn a ton! I was usually finished with class around 4:00pm, which left the evenings for getting lost and then finding myself again after stumbling into the most unique places. Dinner followed around 8:00pm with friends for the American Business School. Many evenings were spent walking around downtown and observing the breathtaking architectures at night, most of which were lit up in some way.Read Haley Daignault's InterviewWas this review...?Useful: 0 Inspiring: 0Female | Age: 19-24 | Saginaw, MI | Saginaw Valley State University
Alumni Interviews
Why did you decide to study abroad with Panrimo in France?
Haley: I work as a study abroad student adviser at SVSU and have quite a bit of knowledge about each of the companies I had to choose from. I had talked to Panrimo various times about my program opportunities and they were always very friendly and willing to answer even the simplest questions that I had. I had been on an itinerary based program before and I wasn't looking for that again. I really wanted the opportunity to explore on my own and grow as an individual while still knowing that Panrimo was there if something were to go wrong. I appreciated their expertise and quickly responses and from there, the rest is history.
What made studying in France a unique and special experience?
Haley: My grandparents are French and have always encouraged all the grandchildren to travel and take French. So when I began my Freshman year of high school I begin classes. I continued to grow and progress with the language and finally decided that I needed to just go and see for myself what it is really like. I also am an International Business major and this program offered the opportunity for me to take International Business Electives to satisfy my degree requirement. I have always wanted to experience France and feel so grateful I finally got that opportunity.
How did this experience impact your academic development?
Haley: This experience has opened my eyes to the world around me. I like to think that I have always been a global thinker and a travel enthusiast. However, this experience taught me a great deal about the differences between American business and European Business. It gave me more insight into the different viewpoints of people and why they think the way they do. I like to think that I am more culturally sensitive and a globally aware citizen. Finally, my experience has taught me the importance of being aware of more than just what is effecting you directly. I have learned to submerse myself in a foreign culture and adapt with success. How many people can say that?
Staff Interview
Did YOU study abroad?! If so, where and what inspired you to go?
Audry: I did study abroad, for six weeks in Grenoble, France. French was my favorite class in high school and I promised myself that I would study in France while in college to put my language skills to use. It was the best decision I ever made, and without my even knowing, it laid the groundwork for my career in International Education. Studying abroad opens so many doors.
Why is language learning and cultural immersion important to you?
Audry: Language learning and cultural immersion is important because it enables you to create meaningful connections with people and places in ways that you otherwise wouldn't be able to. I think it also adds a new dimension to the way you view yourself and others when you become a speaker of another language.
What language have you always wanted to learn and why ?
Audry: Even though I speak French, I'd still love to learn other languages. At the top of my list are German and Romanian. I've always been intrigued by both because I have family in both countries and I'd love to be able to communicate with my family members there in their native language.
What country have you always wanted to visit?
Audry: Ireland has been on my list for years, but I just haven't checked it off yet. Advising students on our program in Galway gets me so excited for them and all they'll get to see and learn, and also makes me even more anxious to get there myself! I want to see what (real) Guinness is all about, visit Giant's Causeway, kiss the Blarney Stone, and listen to that charming accent all day!

About Panrimo
Panrimo is a company born of a friendship established between co-founders Paul and Tony while studying at Western Michigan University. Because of their mutual interests in travel, seeing new places, and the desire to avoid a monotonous college life, Paul and Tony put their heads together to come up with "Panrimo." Described as "an odd name for a serious decision," it salutes both Pangea (yes, the super connected super continent!) and the Latin word for explore, "rimo," thus denoting their underlying message- travel better, in a world that's connected better.
Panroamer alumni are guaranteed lifetime admittance into the Panrimo Travel Club - this includes access to free airport pick up in Panrimo's host countries, access to Panrimo coordinators in partner cities, letters of recommendation from the founders, visa and passport assistance, international travel advice, and access to Panrimo's excursions and cultural immersion activities - for life!

Planning ahead for reactive power
Whether one is talking about reactors or renewables, turbines or transmission systems, most of the attention goes onto making sure enough Megawatts (MWs) are generated to match the MWs being consumed at a given point in time. But in planning for future capacity, it is not just real power that matters, but complex power, that combination of real and reactive power that makes it possible to deliver the greatest quantity of real power over a transmission line to the end users.

Turbines or engines?
The use of natural gas as the fuel of choice for power generation suggests two possible driver technologies: gas turbines (GTs) and reciprocating gas engines (REs). Due to the range of output available, a 230 MW plant might consist of 13 to 25 RE units, or 1 x 230 MW GTs through to 16 x 15 MW GT units.

Oxidizing waste gas to generate power
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimated that industrial sources (agricultural, waste, and energy) emitted 323.5 million metric tons of methane into the atmosphere in 2005 alone. Methane is both a powerful greenhouse gas and a highly energy dense gas present in waste gases. Releasing large quantities of methane into the atmosphere is not only detrimental to the environment, but also a wasteful solution for an energy dense fuel. For this reason, governments are increasingly regulating methane emissions.

Comments about Vicks Starry Nights Cool Humidifier:
This humidifier requires a filter to stay wet all the time in order to work, however, the filters quickly grow mold and the baby's room smells like mildew and then you clean out the whole thing and replace the expensive filters and a few days later- mold again! Also, the blue light on the control is so bright I had to cover it to make the room dark enough for my son to sleep. Also, the starry lights should have an auto-off so a child can go to sleep with it. Also, it only has 2 settings: high-too loud, low-barely humid. I had to stop using this product after a few months because I couldn't stand the mold (despite using the anti-bacterial inserts as well)
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Border Patrol agents have reported seeing illegal border crossings double in the past few weeks. They warn that the cutting of agent work hours will only result in less border security and not more. Illegal crossings have increased as immigration reformers are reported to announce a deal later this week, claiming border security will come before a path to citizenship for millions of illegal aliens.

Published in Americas
Keywords: Illegals, border crossings, amnesty, felons, AK-47s
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "We've seen the number of illegal aliens double, maybe even triple since amnesty talk started happening," one agent says, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "A lot of these people, although not the majority, are criminals or aggravated felons. This is a direct danger to our communities."
From February 5 through March 1, 2013, 504 illegal aliens were spotted exploiting the Tucson/Nogales area, 189 were caught on cameras. Of those 504, only 174 were apprehended and 32 of the 189 on camera were carrying large drug load packs for Mexican cartels. Some were armed with AK-47 style weapons.
Fox News reported last week that sections of the border will soon become unpatrolled as hours for on-the-ground agents are cut. There have been reports that Border Patrol agents working the border have been fully funded, yet internal political battles within CBP may be causing funds to be funneled to managers, rather than those getting their boots dirty on patrols.
"Customs and Border Protection has been given enough money to fully staff the border but has chosen to use the money elsewhere, we believe it is to fund the salaries of Supervisory CBP Officers. The money they are diverting was to go to AUO (Administratively Uncontrollable Overtime) which is actually straight pay and is used to pay Border Patrol Agents for anything past eight hours. Being that we have to maintain staffing 24/7 this is a huge part of border security," Vice President of the National Border Patrol Council Shawn Moran says.
"The criminals and drugs don't stop coming so we have to make sure we have people out there. Cutting AUO will be a 30 percent pay cut for our agents but more importantly a minimum 20 percent loss of staffing out in the field," Moran adds.
"It is internal politics within CBP and also with immigration reform. There are still battles between legacy Customs, INS, and Border Patrol managers as to the direction CBP takes and how the funds are being used. Meanwhile both parties claim no immigration reform until the border is secured, well this surely will not secure the border."
As sequestration goes into full effect April 7 and a deal in Washington on immigration reform gets locked in, illegal crossings are expected to get worse.
"We have seen increased crossings and smuggling since word of staffing cuts began circulating. The illegals have even told us that is why they tried crossing. The border is safer but by no means secure," Moran says.

I interviewed over three attorneys for representing my two company's trademarks prior to discovering Luke T Brean at www.breanlaw.com
I was concerned, as I had limited experience with "cease and desist" letters and legal events. I am not willing to give up my company trademark easily and I will not give in to the big company bullies who think they can beat out the smaller companies with a few threatening letters? I was interested in identifying an attorney that was assertive and aggressive and one that I had hoped could deliver results... Then comes that moment, in walks Luke T Brean!
I am forever grateful to you Luke as you have not only quickly brought me up to speed on legal processes and events and put me at ease; you have developed strategies for my two companies in establishing growth and brand recognition, nationally. You have gone above and beyond what my project based rate would entail and for that we are so ever grateful to you and your organization. You have set the bar very high for anyone else with your expertise. You are truly the best in Trademarks I've found nationally!!
I've worked with Luke in researching and successfully trademarking several business names and URLs. He's smart, friendly, always replies promptly to emails and is generous with his time and expertise. I should add that I have worked with very large law firms that have proven to be none of the above.

Notes on the HT Dark Night
Also called Eddy Mitchell but the ARS official name is Garden Director Bartje Miller. What ever you want to call it, I was lucky enough to get 2 plants of this HT last spring. Planted them fairly close together (18" apart). They grew very well last year and bloomed quite often. Watched the effect the weather had on the blooms all last year. It over wintered very well with no cane die back. Weird winter. 50 degrees one day, 20 degrees the next day. Anyway, it wasn't fazed. Pruned very lightly this spring and it took off. This year they are one huge bushy bush. Beautiful foliage and several basil breaks. Now for the blooms. Beautiful burgundy with pale yellow undertones. They do not like cold weather. They turn a nasty tan/dirty brown on the bush. Hot sunny weather, they burn. So what to do?? I cut the blooms and bring them in the house. Just as the sepals go down and the petals start to move, I cut them and bring them in. The blooms slowly open keeping the beautiful velvet burgundy color and last over a week in the house. With the weather related problems the blooms were giving me I was ALMOST ready to give it away. I'm glad I started to bring them in. This rose has already earned it's place in my cutting garden. If you bring cut roses inside, this is the rose for you. If you live in a hot, dry area and only grow roses for color in the garden, you may want to pass. This rose SHOULD be reintroduced next spring. I'll be putting two more in my garden.
Thanks for the report, Ken. I know Bartje and she deserves a good rose! She was the Director of the Gardens as the Pasadena Tournament House, home of the Tournament of Roses, for many years and a lovelier lady you would be hard pressed to find! Determined, strong-willed, resourceful, a real "Force of Nature" and every bit a lady, bless her! Kim

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
01 Feb 2010 03:03 GMT | Humanitarian crises, US & Canada, Latin America, Haiti, United States
The US government has said it will resume medical flights for critically injured Haitians to be treated in the US, days after it suspended medical evacuations from the earthquake-devastated country.
"We determined that we can resume these critical flights," Tommy Vietor, a White House spokesman, said late on Sunday.
"Patients are being identified for transfer, doctors are making sure that it is safe for them to fly, and we are preparing specific in-flight paediatric care aboard the aircraft where needed."

The White House has said hospitals were running out of space and officials were working to increase capacity in Haiti and the US, as well as aboard the USNS Comfort hospital ship.
The US military had brought hundreds of critically injured Haitians to the US aboard its planes – most to Florida hospitals – before halting the flights on Wednesday amid a dispute over where they should be hospitalised and who should pay the costs.
Before the latest announcement, the medical group Partners in Health transferred three critically-ill children to a hospital in Philadelphia on Sunday using a private jet to bypass the US military's order to suspend flights.
Food coupons
Al Jazeera's Monica Villamizar reports on new approach to food distribution
The World Food Programme (WFP) set up 16 new distribution sites where long lines snaked through the city centre at the designated women-only aid stations.
Each woman with a numbered coupon given by relief workers is allowed to collect one 25-kilogramme bag of rice from the distribution points, overseen by hundreds of US troops.
Al Jazeera's Monica Villamizar reporting from Port-au-Prince says it is too early to say if the new system will work but the separation of men and women at distribution points appears to be a positive move.
Our correspondent said many women were saying they were happy to collect food and felt safer with the more systematic and orderly approach to food distribution.
The WFP and other relief groups have been struggling with huge logistical problems to feed survivors in the earthquake-shattered city, seeking to prevent hungry survivors' anger over aid delays from erupting into violence.
In some cases, UN troops have used tear gas and Mace spray and fired warning shots to try to restore order, but without proper control, aid workers say children, the sick and elderly often miss out on getting the help they need.
Jacques Montouroy, a spokesman and logistics coordinator for the Catholic Relief Services aid group, said about 1,650 bags of rice were handed out without incident from the back of trucks.
"You have to install discipline… This is the only way for food to trickle down to everybody," he added.
