Jim Gentilcore, CEO of Edwards said: "We have continued to enjoy a positive market environment in both semiconductor and flat panel. Together these have helped to deliver another strong performance for the quarter as a whole, well above our initial guidance given at the end of July. Although General Vacuum revenues were marginally down on the second quarter, order activity was positive and positions us well for the final quarter of the year. "The acquisition of Edwards by the Swedish group Atlas Copco was announced on August 19 and ratified by our shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting on October 4. We have been making good progress with the anti-trust clearances in various jurisdictions and will update the market in due course once they have all been received and the timetable for completion becomes clearer. Given this progress, and as previously announced, we are not providing guidance for the fourth quarter. "At this time I would also like to extend my personal thanks to Edwards' CFO, David Smith who has announced that he will leave the group at the end of the year to take up a significant new role. Over his three years at Edwards, David was instrumental in the fundamental transformation of the Edwards' business and operational footprint, delivering a substantially improved financial basis for the business." David Smith, Edwards' CFO commented: "This has been a very good quarterly result with all metrics close to or above the top of our long term target range. Operating cash flow was extremely strong, driven by gross margin up to over 41% and adjusted EBITDA margin was up over 3 points from the prior quarter. These reflect the operational gearing inherent in the business, despite some adverse FX impact given the weakening dollar. On a 9 month basis revenues are 5% above where we were at this time last year." On a sequential quarterly basis, revenue increased 8.8% to £178.6 million (Q2 2013: £164.1 million). The company recorded net income of £40.3 million, or 35.56 pence per diluted share (Q2 2013: £27.0 million, or 23.91 pence per diluted share) due to increased revenue driving higher margins and significant exchange gains of £21.5 million on the end-of-quarter revaluation of long term loans. Adjusted net income grew by 50.0% to £25.8 million, or 22.76 pence per diluted share (Q2 2013: £17.2 million or 15.23 pence per diluted share), due to increased revenue and higher operating margins more than off-setting increases in sales and marketing expenses. Adjusted EBITDA^3 increased to £45.1 million or 25.3% of revenue (Q2 2013: £36.2 million or 22.1% of revenue) and gross margin rose by 3.0 percentage points to 41.3%. When compared to the third quarter of the prior year, revenue increased 26.8% from £140.9 million to £178.6 million, with both Semiconductor and Emerging Technology delivering strong growth. Adjusted net income increased to £25.8 million or 22.76 pence per diluted share from £12.5 million or 11.08 pence per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA increased from £26.0 million to £45.1 million and gross margin increased by 5.5 percentage points.

Overall spend on Logic continued to be very strong, while Memory sector investment increased from the global majors and niche specialists.Foundry investment was relatively stable in the quarter and OEM revenues continued to be robust.On a year to date basis, Semiconductor was 2.3% above the prior year. General Vacuum was down 4.5% on the prior year where there were some significant coating orders, but only marginally down on the prior quarter.Scientific and R&D sectors were stable against the prior year, while Process rose sharply as a couple of significant power and refining infrastructure projects were completed in the quarter. While order book momentum was strong in the quarter, Industrial revenues were lower against the strong prior year comparable, with the US region most affected by macro weakness. On a year to date basis, General Vacuum was 4.7% below the prior year. Emerging Technologies' revenue growth continued to be very positive, again delivering strong gains over both prior quarter and prior year.With LED and Solar sectors stable, FPD sales were the driver of revenues being up 117%.These included the completion of significant LCD orders to 3 new fabs in China and ongoing spend in Korea for OLED-related technology. On a year to date basis, Emerging Technologies was 68.7% above the prior year. Service revenues grew 0.7% on the prior quarter, marking a third record quarter in the past 12 months. Asia continued to perform well, including China and Japan which were up strongly against both the prior quarter and the prior year.While the poor macro environment impacted activity at certain customers in Europe, there was strong growth at a number of key semiconductor accounts in Taiwan.The US macro environment was also a drag on regional performance, but offset by ongoing work with a major customer on a refresh project.On a year to date basis, Service was 2.4% above the prior year. Additional Quarterly Financial Information Cost of sales for the third quarter was £104.9 million, an increase of £14.4 million compared to the prior year period reflecting high volumes. Gross profit margin was up 5.5 percentage points on the prior year and up 3.0 percentage points on the prior quarter at 41.3%. Sales, general and administrative expenses were £27.0 million, an increase of £4.8 million compared to the prior year period, mainly due to an increase in variable compensation. Total spending on research and development before capitalization was £7.5 million, equating to 4.2% of revenue, with absolute spend increasing by £0.4 million compared to the prior year period. Restructuring and transaction costs incurred totaled £2.4 million including an accrual for £1.9 million with respect to fees to be incurred for the sale of the business to Atlas Copco. The Company's ending cash and cash equivalents balance at September 30, 2013 was £107.3 million (Q2 2013: £109.1 million).During the third quarter, the Company generated £46.0 million in cash from operations. Management operating cash flow was strong at £38.5 million in the third quarter of 2013, an 85% cash conversion, up £19.0 million from the prior year period (Q3 2012: £19.5 million) with improvements in net working capital outweighing increased capital expenditure. Cash used in investing activities totaled £15.5 million, through continued investment in R&D, capex across manufacturing sites, the China/Taiwan projects and the acquisition of Gamma Vacuum. The Company's indebtedness at September 30, 2013 decreased by £37.7 million in the quarter to £320.3 million, due to a repayment of $31.4 million (£20.3 million) and favourable foreign exchange revaluations. Overall, the Company's net debt decreased by £35.8 million to £211.0 million with a net leverage ratio of 1.7x, achieving the objective of a debt ratio of under 2x well before our 2013 year end. The Company recorded a tax charge of £10.1 million for the quarter, which equates to 20.0% of income before taxes. Business Developments in Q3 2013 Within the quarter, Edwards announced and then completed the acquisition of Gamma Vacuum, a market leader in the design, manufacture and service of ultra-high vacuum (UHV) pumps. Founded in 2003, Gamma has a very strong reputation for the manufacture and distribution of Ion and Titanium Sublimation pumps, used in applications principally in the R&D sector such as for high energy physics, together with other R&D, Scientific and Industrial applications.In 2012, Gamma had revenues in excess of US$9.0 million. The transaction expanded Edwards' General Vacuum product range into UHV, giving the capability to supply a total vacuum package from UHV through to atmospheric pumping. Since completion there has been positive and active interest from customers for such total vacuum solutions, for applications such as electron microscopy. Edward's recent launch of the iPUP2 for less harsh semiconductor applications has been very well received by the market after its roll-out in various geographies, and has achieved a faster take-up than initially expected.There has also been ongoing progress within a number of development projects, including field trials on 450mm-related turbo and new etch pumping solutions.The ATEX certification for the CXS pump for chemical applications was also extended to cover pharmaceutical applications. Further progress was made with the growth projects in China, including the construction of the new factory in Qingdao where the main building construction is underway and the factory steelwork has already been completed.Alongside the infrastructure, local recruitment is gaining momentum.In Xian, site preparations and ground works were commenced for the new service center following the granting of the business registration and license.In the UK, the consolidation of the R&D teams through the final relocations to the new Global Technology Centre in Burgess Hill was completed on time.

Further, because Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Management operating cash flow (or similar measures) may vary among companies and industries, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure. In addition, management believes it is useful for investors because it is used in the calculation of applicable interest rates, mandatory prepayments and certain covenant baskets under the First Lien Credit Agreement. The Company believes Adjusted net income provides investors with helpful information with respect to the performance of the Company's operations and management uses Adjusted net income to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Adjusted net income is not a measure of liquidity. Management uses Management operating cash flow, which is derived from Adjusted EBITDA, to understand the factors that impact cash flow generated by operations, absent various exceptional items that effect cash generation and as a measure to help allocate resources. In addition, management believes Management operating cash flow is useful to investors as it provides them with additional information about the Company's performance. Management operating cash flow is not a measure of liquidity.

Long Term Debt On March 26, 2013, Edwards entered into an amendment and restatement agreement to the First Lien Credit Agreement.The amendment, among other things, refinanced and replaced the Company's existing credit facilities with a $560 million term loan facility and a $90 million revolving facility which is undrawn, and extended the maturity date of the term loan facility and the revolving facility to March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2018, respectively. Edwards incurred arrangement fees with respect to the facilities of £6.5 million (USD 9.8 million). In connection with the amendment the Company repaid an $11.5 million tranche of the term loan due in May 2014 and $6.6 million of the original loan. On May 31, 2013, the Company repaid a further tranche of £15.2 million (USD 23.0 million) of the term loan and on June 28, 2013 made a scheduled repayment of £0.9 million (USD 1.4 million). On August 30, 2013, the Company repaid a further tranche of £19.4 million (USD 30.0 million) of the term loan and on September 30, 2013 made a scheduled repayment of £0.9 million (USD 1.4 million). As a result of extending and amending the First Lien Agreement the company took the opportunity to review its internal subsidiary funding arrangements. As the Group does not have any plans to repay certain intercompany loans, which are long term in nature, to reflect this the Company has changed the treatment of these loans to be net investments in foreign operations. This means the loans from the Group's main UK subsidiary company Edwards Limited to each of Edwards Korea and Edwards Japan and the loan from Edwards Japan to Edwards Limited will be treated in a similar method to Intercompany equity investments. One consequence is that any foreign exchange gains or losses will be dealt with in Other comprehensive income rather than included in Finance income and costs in the Income Statement. Foreign exchange gains or losses on intercompany loans will continue to be excluded from Adjusted Net Income. 9.

August 2, 2007
To Ms. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House
US House of Representatives
Washington, D.C.
Dear Ms. Pelosi (for now on I am addressing all individuals as Ms. or Mr., as the use of titles is anti-democratic):
We have implored you to begin impeachment proceedings against both the US president and the vice president. You have not budged from your position, declaring that impeachment is off the table, even though surveys show more Americans are for than against it. In the meantime, incredible abuses are being perpetrated on the American people, using the excuse of a virtually non-existent "terrorist threat."
It appears that you must be taking your marching orders from the president or his club of thugs. Even Bill Clinton was impeached for virtually nothing. But Bush and Cheney commit horrendous crimes, spit in the face of the American people, and YOU just let it go down. We should thank you for this? I don't think so.
Right now, there are 22 detainees in Guantanamo who are being force-fed. This is a disgrace. At least one medical commentator states unequivocally that this is against medical ethics. It is certainly torture.
I hope you can prove that you are not one of the gang who have terrorized this country in the name of fake terrorism, destroyed the framework of human rights in this country and abroad, and who continue to act with total contempt for the average American. There's still time for you to change your mind, to pursue impeachment aggressively and save this country.
Please support Dennis Kucinich's bill to impeach Richard Cheney, the vice president.
Please do NOT support any legislation that will further erode the rights of Americans for the sake of a bogus terrorist threat.
Thank you for doing everything in your power to stop the US occupation of Iraq. Please support Dennis Kucinich's peace plan for Iraq.
Kindest regards,
Peter Duveen

Cam Newton completed 13 of 23 passes for 201 yards with a touchdown and ran eight times for 37 yards and a score as the Carolina Panthers snapped a five-game losing streak Sunday with a 21-13 win over the Washington Redskins. The Panthers were in desperate need of a win after a series of close defeats that had players questioning whether the team had any leadership. Newton responded with one of his best games of the season, including a 19-yard touchdown pass to Steve Smith and an 82-yard completion that set up a score. Robert Griffin III was 23 for 39 for 215 yards, ran 11 times for 53 yards and was sacked four times as the Redskins lost their third straight and fell to 3-6. The Panthers are 2-6. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

MAPUTO, Mozambique – 22 March 2011 – Access to water is vital to the sustainable development of cities and their inhabitants. As cities grow and their populations increase, water scarcity is becoming an increasing constraint to urban development. New sources are more costly to develop and lack of affordable water supply in combination with uncontrolled wastage results in increasingly polluted water sources, environmental degradation and the spread of water-related diseases.
"Many peri-urban areas in Mozambique have lower water supply coverage and less access to safe water than many rural areas," says Dr. Samuel Godfrey, Chief of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene at UNICEF Mozambique.
Figures for urban coverage of access to water and sanitation in Mozambique are much higher than rural areas, 70 per cent vs 30 per cent for water supply, according to the 2008 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey report, but the urban figure is largely based on coverage in the city centers alone, whereas large parts of so-called peri-urban areas are having lower coverage than many rural areas. Various unpublished reports have confirmed this situation as well; in some peri-urban areas estimates of water supply coverage are as low as 10%.
"The poorest people in these areas are hardest hit: service levels are low and yet they pay the highest water prices," says Dr. Godfrey.
Many urban authorities in developing countries, including Mozambique, have not yet found a sustainable solution to peri-urban water and sanitation challenges. They cannot afford to extend sewers to the poorer areas; nor can they treat the volume of sewage already collected.
There is growing evidence that the water infrastructure will also be significantly affected by climate change, particularly through the impact of floods, droughts or other extreme weather events. Water resources are expected to change, both in quantity and quality; and water, storm water and wastewater facilities will face greater risk of damage caused by storms, floods and droughts. With Mozambique's urban population projected to grow from nearly 40% in 2010 to over 65% in 2050, this means a tremendous challenge for Mozambique and its development partners to ensure sustainable access to water and sanitation for the development and well-being of its population.
The global celebration of World Water Day 2011 on March 22 provides a good opportunity to focus on the concerning situation in Mozambique's peri-urban areas. According to Dr. Godfrey, four interlinked key challenges should be addressed:
Dr. Godfrey hopes that World Water Day 2011, which this year is celebrated with the theme 'Water for the cities: Responding to the urban challenge', will help place a greater focus on the peri-urban water supply and inspire new opportunities to address the challenges.

36 year old man | Mesa, AZ, USA | Seeking women 26-38 within 30 miles
************************************************************************************************************************************************ SORRY LADIES, BUT YOU MISSED YOUR CHANCE TO DATE THE #1 AWESOME-EST GUY IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA Thanks for swinging by and checking me out but I'm taken and loving it! ************************************************************************************************************************************************ I'm Confident and ambitious but not cocky or arrogant. Plus I've got a fun, friendly and positive personality. I love science-fiction (Star Wars, Star Trek) and fantasy (The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings), and playing games of all kinds (Chess, card games, pool, etc). I'd say I'm handsome/cute. But you tell me what you think since my pics are right there for you to point and laugh at. ;) I believe that my girlfriend should be my best friend. And I love animals of all kinds, especially cats and dogs. I want to meet a quality, above average girl to hang out with, go on dates, maybe go out dancing (FYI: I'm shy about dancing though I love it) and do fun things before I get old and miss out on life. One of my life goals is to travel the world. Hopefully you've got goals and are ambitious and are driven as well. I'm the type of guy you can bring home to your parents and know they'll approve of. Though I'm not looking to meet your parents right away. Now before you email/wink at me, I've got a couple of requirements you must meet: #1. No smokers. It's nasty and gross. Doesn't make me want to kiss you. And I love kissing sensually and for long times. Plus I'm pretty good at it, at least that's what I've been told. #2. No religious zealots. I'm cool if you're into your religion, just don't expect me to go to church. I am tied to "God/the Universe or whatever you want to call it" by the sheer fact that I'm alive. #3. No heavy drinkers either. Hey I love a good beer/drink after a long hard day of work. But my days of getting wasted and pass-out drunk are well and long gone by about 10 years. A responsible, social drink is cool. #4. No party poopers please. Life's too short not to have fun. #5. If you're affectionate, caring and loving then we'll get along quite well as I'm the same and love nothing more than cuddling with that special someone. #6. Must take care of yourself. Sorry to be so blunt, but I'm a guy and you should not weigh more than me. Let's be honest, the first thing anyone is drawn to is physical looks - people DO judge a person by their looks whether we like it or not. And while looks are important (we gotta find each other attractive for the sparks to fly) but if you've got a great personality, well that goes far in my books as I have to be attracted to your personality as well. As you can tell, I'm not your average American guy -- could be b/c I'm not American. ;) #7. Friendly, fun personality a definite must. If you're a "Debbie-downer", don't waste my time. And that brings me to my last point: #8. No drama queens. Seriously, if you've got a "crisis" every 5 minutes I am not interested. If you've read this far then I hope you find yourself interested in getting to know me better. I promise you that I'm a ton of fun. You'll be happy you emailed/winked. If not, your coffees on me. ;) So please don't be shy, I won't bite - at least, not right away ;) You've got nothing to lose and what if we turn out to be soul mates? How cool would that be? But we'll never find out if you don't email me. However, I'm not into endless emails so after an email or two I'm gonna ask to meet you in person to see if we connect on a more deeper and personal level. But don't worry, it'll be a casual, stress-free date.

Eddie Royal believes he could be the right man for the job, and that the job could be the right one for the man. If it all adds up, it could equal something more than 37.
"Things are different this year," Royal said. "I'm learning a new position, going to play a new position. I'm learning a lot of little things and some big things. But I think it should be able to all pay off during the season."
History can be a heavy burden. When Royal set a Broncos record for rookies with 91 receptions in 2008 — the second-highest total for a first-year player in NFL history — a truckload of expectations arrived for 2009.
But with Josh McDaniels' first season as Denver's coach came a new playbook and a new cast on offense, including a new quarterback — Kyle Orton. Royal also missed the final two games of the season because of a concussion. He finished 2009 with only 37 receptions, no touchdown catches and more questions than answers about his sophomore slump.
So when McDaniels and his staff sat down to sift through the team's 2-8 collapse down the stretch, one of the offseason tweaks they made was moving Royal from an outside receiver spot to the inside, or "slot" position.
"When we evaluated things, we came to the conclusion that we didn't do near a good enough job of getting (Royal) involved," McDaniels said. "We think he's capable of doing a lot of things in our offense."
The outside receiver spot is usually reserved for a speedy player, able to work inside or outside, long routes or short. The slot position is all about quickness, in mind and body.
"I'm seeing different looks, how different people are going to play me different ways," Royal said. "In the slot, you're only open for a quick second, and if you and the quarterback aren't on the same page, then that window's going to close before you get the ball.
"It's kind of a one-shot deal, and if you hit that you can get big plays. It's tough. Sometimes you're going against bigger guys, your linebackers. You've got safeties, and that's an adjustment I've had to make."
The results have been mixed through two preseason games. Royal has only two receptions. But one was for a touchdown at Cincinnati when the Broncos got exactly the matchup they wanted, with Royal beating a linebacker to pull in Orton's pass.
"As a quarterback, that's a matchup I'm going to like to see," Orton said.
As the season dragged on a year ago, with Royal struggling to break out, there was plenty of discussion about whether he had lost his confidence. He finished with two receptions or fewer in nine starts. Over his last 23 regular-season games, he's had just one touchdown catch.
Royal is quick to say he was not the shattered player some fans thought he was when he arrived at training camp this year.
"Lose confidence? No, not at all," Royal said. "I don't think any professional can do that. I'm going to do my part, and whenever the ball's thrown to me, I'm going to catch it. That's how I'm going to go about it. You do what's asked of you and make sure you're a reliable target.
"I was trying to do well. It didn't matter to me what people were expecting. I was just trying to do what was expected of me from the coaches and from my team. Those are the guys I wanted to be able to look in the face and say, 'I gave everything I had, and I did everything I could to help you win.' If I do that, I'll be fine."

After a median follow-up time of 37.9 months, there were 75 deaths, 56 percent due to disease progression, 31 percent due to infection, and 13 percent unrelated to CLL. ORR was 34 percent (CRR four percent, PRR 30 percent), median PFS time was 7.7 months, and median OS time was 19.1 months.
About Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
CLL is the most prevalent form of leukemia in adults. The disease is most commonly diagnosed among people age 50 or older and is characterized by the accumulation of functionally immature white blood cells (lymphocytes) in the bone marrow, blood, lymph tissue and other organs. Two types of lymphocytes are present in the blood, B cells and T cells. The majority of this patient population (90 percent) suffers from a subtype called B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or B-CLL. Symptoms include fatigue, bone pain, excessive sweating, abnormal bruising, and decreased appetite and weight loss. Bone marrow infiltration leads to a lack of healthy blood cells, thus leading to fatigue, susceptibility to bleeding and weakening of the immune system, exposing the patient to a higher risk of infection.
About Cytogenetic Markers
In some cases of CLL, at least one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes on a cell is found to be either deleted or part of it is lost. The most commonly seen deletions involve parts of chromosomes 13, 11 and 17. The loss of part of chromosome 13 is usually linked with a slower growing disease and a better outlook, while defects in chromosomes 11 or 17 often indicate a poorer outlook.
Cytogenetic testing evaluates chromosomes under a microscope to detect any of these abnormalities. FISH is a type of cytogenetic test that uses special fluorescent dyes that only attach to specific parts of particular chromosomes. It can be used on regular blood or bone marrow samples and is very accurate, which i

Roesler, chairman of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Free Democrat coalition partner, said his party won't support any kind of euro bonds or "elite bonds," the newspaper said.

NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover's 500,000 Lines of Code Written in? C Language.
This is a great question asked these days after the launch of NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover. And, it all worked. The 500,000 lines of computer code went off without a glitch. The 76 onboard explosive devices popped off in sequence to the μs, throwing valves and cutting loose tether lines. So Curiosity rover's 7 minutes of terror had the happiest of endings. And we heard 'Touchdown confirmed. We're safe on Mars'.
So, I came across the answer to my question on Quora
It was also discussed in the Strong Artificial Intelligence Facebook Group
Obviously, its the good old C language. You may also like the discussion here.

BEAUMONT - From U.S. Attorney's Office - A 33-year-old Port Arthur, Texas man has been convicted in a carjacking case as a result of Operation Time Machine in the Eastern District of Texas announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales today.
Luan Van Nguyen, aka, Kevin Nguyen, was found guilty by a jury on Aug. 2, 2012, of carjacking, conspiracy to commit carjacking, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime. The jury deliberated for 59 minutes following a four day trial before U.S. District Judge Thad Heartfield.
According to information presented in court, from July 16, 2010 to Aug. 6, 2010, Nguyen conspired with two fellow Port Arthur men, Patrick Allen Chaney and Rigoberto Gaytan Valenzia, to kidnap a 24-year-old Port Arthur man and hold him for ransom. Chaney and Valenzia had both previously performed construction work for Nguyen, who was a construction contractor. Nguyen approached Chaney and Valenzia and asked them to help kidnap the victim and promised to share a portion of the ransom proceeds, which was to be paid by the victim's family. Prior to the kidnapping, Chaney, Valenzia, and Nguyen traveled together on one or more occasions to conduct surveillance on the victim and the victim's family. Nguyen was a friend of the victim's family and knew that the victim had a job doing computer repair work. Nguyen's plan was to lure the victim to a vacant house in Port Arthur by having Chaney make a fictitious service call for computer repair. On Aug. 5, 2010, at approximately 6:30 p.m., Chaney, using the alias "Gary Underwood," called the victim on his cell phone and asked the victim to fix a computer.
On Aug. 6, 2010, from approximately 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., Chaney, using the same alias, "Gary Underwood," made multiple phone calls to the victim's cell phone and the victim's employer, specifically requesting that the victim be sent to do the computer repair. Chaney instructed the victim to meet him at 3748 Proctor Street in Port Arthur, in order to pick up the computer. At approximately 3:00 p.m., Chaney met the victim at 3748 Proctor Street and was able to lure him into the house. Upon entering the house, Valenzia confronted the victim with a short-barreled shotgun and told the victim to lay face down on the floor and not to move or else he would shoot the victim. Chaney proceeded to blind-fold the victim and bound the victim's hands with duct tape. Valenzia and Chaney then put the victim into Valenzia's van, bound his feet with duct tape, and then removed the victim's car keys and cell phone. Chaney took the victim's car which was parked in the driveway. Nguyen drove up to the residence and instructed Chaney to follow Nguyen in the victim's vehicle while Valenzia transported the victim. Chaney and Nguyen then abandoned the victim's vehicle behind a business on 8th Street and 9th Avenue in order to conceal the location of the kidnaping from law enforcement.
Valenzia took a large knife and placed it against the victim's neck and leg, and told the victim that he would cut him if he moved. Valenzia left the residence in his van with the victim still bound in the back and planned to take the victim back to his apartment. While in route, the victim was able to maneuver to the front of the vehicle and lodge himself against Valenzia and the inside wall of the van. Valenzia choked the victim with his hands in order to try and regain control over him. After a brief struggle, Valenzia stopped the vehicle and opened the driver's side door in order to free himself. Once the door was opened, the victim fell out of the vehicle, managed to free one of his legs, and was able to run to a nearby business for help. A passing motorist observed the victim escaping from the vehicle and called Port Arthur Police. Valenzia left the scene and then called Nguyen on his cell phone and informed him that the victim had escaped. Valenzia attempted to flee in the van, but was later apprehended by Port Arthur Police officers. Port Arthur Police recovered the shotgun used in the kidnapping and carjacking. Chaney voluntarily surrendered to Port Arthur Police on Aug. 13, 2010. A federal grand jury returned an indictment on Sep. 8, 2010, charging Valenzia, Nguyen, and Chaney with federal violations.
The evidence at trial showed that Nguyen fled Port Arthur on Aug. 16, 2010 after he learned federal investigators were investigating him for his role in the kidnaping and carjacking. He was at large for over a year, and was eventually arrested in Houston, Texas on Dec. 14, 2011.
Phone records showed that Nguyen repeatedly called Chaney and Valenzia on the day of the kidnaping and carjacking, and instructed them on how to carry out the crime.
This case was prosecuted as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods' Operation Time Machine program in partnership with the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office. Operation Time Machine is aimed at reducing gun and gang violence, deterring illegal possession of guns, ammunition and body armor, and improving the safety of residents in Port Arthur, Texas. Participants in the initiative include community members and organizations as well as federal, state and local law enforcement agencies.
Nguyen faces up to 25 years in federal prison. A sentencing date has not been set.
Chaney pleaded guilty to carjacking and was sentenced on Aug. 9, 2011, to 97 months in federal prison. Valenzia pleaded guilty to carjacking and was sentenced on Apr. 20, 2011 to 116 months in federal prison. Chaney and Valenzia were also convicted of state charges for aggravated kidnapping and were both sentenced to 5 years in the Texas Department of Corrections. Nguyen still faces state charges.
This case was investigated by the Port Arthur Police Department and the ATF and prosecuted by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Baylor Wortham.
