Drug cartels seek to exploit corrupt federal agents
By Katherine McIntire Peters kpeters@govexec.com April 11, 2011

"It's not clear when Louis Enrique Ramirez took his first bribe. In the summer of 2005, the former customs inspector apparently began cutting deals with smugglers to allow undocumented immigrants as well as the occasional load of drugs across the Southwest border from Mexico into Texas. During the next three and a half years, U.S. investigators believe Ramirez pocketed $500,000 to provide safe passage for illegal immigrants and cocaine.

A History of Human Spaceflight

On April 12, 1961, the era of human spaceflight began when the Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit the Earth in his Vostock I spacecraft. The flight lasted 108 minutes.

Twenty years later, on the morning of April 12, 1981, two astronauts sat strapped into their seats on the flight deck of Columbia, a radically new spacecraft known as the space shuttle.

Today is going to hurt. Down just over 2% the last three days. The VIX is going crazy. At least oil is down almost 3%.

It is going to take a bunch of luck today to get me into the top 100 in the Auto Tracker. :rolleyes: Come on S fund. :blink:
