Narcotics Abandoned in West Desert Valued in Excess of $1.4 Million

Tucson, Ariz. (MMD Newswire) January 25, 2012 -- Border Patrol agents working out of the Ajo Station seized 2,936 pounds of marijuana yesterday valued at $1,468,000. The narcotics was found abandoned in three west-desert locations.

Early yesterday, Ajo agents responding to suspected smuggling activity located 15 bundles of marijuana weighing 721 pounds and valued at $360,500. Later in the day, agents riding all-terrain vehicles (ATV) and patrolling on foot discovered footprints leading up a remote mountain pass. Agents continued up the pass and discovered 26 bundles of abandoned marijuana. No smugglers were located in the area. The bundles weighed 1,232 pounds and are estimated to be worth $616,000.

Late Monday, agents patrolling on horseback and on ATVs discovered 20 bundles of marijuana abandoned in separate piles. Agents made the discovery as they converged on an area of reported smuggling activity. The bundles, valued at approximately $491,500, had a combined weight of 983 pounds.

All of the abandoned narcotics were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration for disposal.

Today, smugglers are more aware of the heightened risk associated with breaking the law. It is not uncommon for criminals to abandon their contraband in an attempt to elude arrest.

Coin collecting hobbyists, who may have sought out the limited-edition state quarters when they were first released, now have the option of purchasing special edition sets of the quarters, ranging from 24-karat gold-plated quarters to colorized coins.

The federal state quarters program first began in 1999 and ran for 11 years until 2009. Each year, the United States Mint released five different state quarters, issued in the order that the respective states joined the union. Each individual state quarter was produced at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints for only 10 weeks at a time, guaranteeing that the collectible coins would only be released to the public in limited batches. The program's debut inspired a frenzy of coin collecting, and the quarters are only increasing in value after the conclusion of their limited-release production.

With those coin collecting enthusiasts in mind, The Patriotic Mint has made available different state quarter coin sets, sold in varying quantities and styles. Beginning at only $16.95, the 2009 BU State Quarter Set is one that should appeal particularly to collectors of rare coins. Featuring the state quarters representing Washington, D.C. and the United States' territorial properties (including Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands), the quarter set completes the collections for those who missed the territorial properties coins when they were first released.

Also included in The Patriotic Mint's range of five or six-item coin sets is its range of 24-karat gold-plated state quarters. Sold in five-part collections that group the collectible coins by year of release, the sets are each only $16.95, and include an elegant black presentation case. The coins are each plated with seven mils of gold in a high-quality process that preserves the original coin designs while lending each piece a light-catching and elegant sheen.

Of its complete state quarter coin sets, The Patriotic Mint has on offer different styles and finishes, all available for budget-friendly coin collecting. The Complete Set of P&D BU State Quarters with Frame is the most classic option, featuring shiny and well-preserved quarters displayed in an attractive mahogany-hued frame.

Wildly popular "tower offense" game Anomaly Warzone Earth HD is now available for a cool $4 in the Android Market. A long-time iOS staple, the title picked up quite a bit of industry buzz, including a nomination for best Mobile Strategy Game from IGN and a Platinum Award from PocketGamer, among other accolades. Unlike other tower defense games, Anomaly Warzone Earth HD takes a different approach: you are on the offense rather than the defense, and it's up to you to break down what other similar titles would have you build-- tower defense.

If you're the type to balk at a $4 pricetag, the immersive Story Campaign mode along with the top-notch graphics and sound will likely be enough of a justification. You'll need to be running at least Android 2.2 to play, and you'll likely be better off with a higher-spec'd phone that can handle the game's rather intensive graphics (the title can also be found on Xbox Live and PCs, an indication for just how rich the gameplay can get). As it just hit the Android Market yesterday we'll take a few more days to see what's what and get a proper review posted. Until then, you can hit the link below to grab a copy for yourself.

Before heading out to CES, Phil hopped on the ZenAndTech podcast to discuss the method to his madness in how he properly prepares himself and his electronics before heading out the door. This discussion made me realize that I am always hunting for power, and that most of the time I am looking for an extra place to plug in a device that charges via micro-usb. With this in mind I went out looking for a simple, small, compact solution and that is when I found the Ventev Dual USB wall charger. After reading about it and realizing that it could not only charge my phones, but also tablets and even my fiance's Apple devices I knew this was what I needed. Let's hit the break to check it out.

We finally get our first taste of Motorola’s version of Ice Cream Sandwich with the leak that droidrzr just released. Motorola has been under a lot of scrutiny with their UI overlays, but since they’ve gotten away from using the “Blur” name, in my opinion, their skin is the most unobtrusive of all the manufacturers.

Vancouver (MMD Newswire) January 24, 2012 -- The Honourable Joe Oliver, Minister of Natural Resources, today addressed the B.C. Chamber of Commerce and the Association for Mineral Exploration of B.C.'s Mineral Exploration RoundUp 2012. The Minister highlighted the importance of innovation in the exploration and mining sectors and the need to diversify our energy markets.Speaking to the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, Minister Oliver outlined the importance of opening Canada's natural resources sectors to new markets, such as the Asia-Pacific region.

"Vancouver is one of Canada's great economic engines and our biggest gateway to the huge economic opportunities of the growing Asia-Pacific market," Minister Oliver said. "Those opportunities represent the potential for hundreds of thousands of jobs in Canada and literally trillions of dollars in economic activity in Vancouver, in B.C. and right across the country."

In his address to the RoundUp participants, Minister Oliver detailed how NRCan's Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals program is supporting private sector exploration investment in the North by generating modern reconnaissance-level geo-mapping data in areas with high mineral potential. He also noted that, in regions of Canada with proven mineral potential, the department's Targeted Geoscience Initiative is developing innovative mineral exploration techniques to help the industry discover new deeply buried mineral deposits in Canada.

Minister Oliver discussed NRCan's public geoscience programs while touring the RoundUp Trade Show floor, where he met with the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada's 2011 Prospector of the Year, Shawn Ryan, whose use of NRCan's geoscientific data and knowledge products contributed to his White Gold discovery in the Yukon.

"Canada is one of the world's mining and energy giants, and we're set for continued growth," said Minister Oliver. "Our Government is committed to developing the policy initiatives and making the targeted investments that will help to ensure our exploration, mining and energy industries continue to grow and prosper long into the future."

While in Vancouver, the Minister also met with Western Canada-based mining industry CEOs as well as with B.C. Premier, Christy Clark; NWT Premier, Bob McLeod; and B.C. Minister of Energy and Mines, Rich Coleman. They discussed various opportunities to work together to harness science and technology expertise and to improve policy in support of ensuring economic stability and the responsible development of Canada's natural resources.
