ercent surveillance of the entire border, and apprehending
90 percent of border crossers or would-be crossers -- or getting them
to turn back to Mexico -- in sectors where the majority of
unauthorized entries take place.As of the end of the 2010 fiscal year,
the Department of Homeland Security reported achieving some level of operational
control of 44 percent of the nearly 2,000-mile border, according to a
Government Accountability Office report this year. Operational control was
defined as the ability to detect and respond to cross-border illegal activity.In
one border sector cited by GAO, the busy Tucson sector, 64 percent
of people who managed to make it across the border were apprehended
in 2011, while 23 percent turned back to Mexico and 13 percent
got away. That meant the sector stopped or turned back 87 percent
of crossers, close to the 90 percent level sought by the legislation.The
new goals would be achieved by giving the Department of Homeland Security
six months from the bill's enactment to create a new border security
plan deploying the personnel, infrastructure and technology needed to achieve
the 90 percent effectiveness rate. Also within six months, the department
would have to create a plan to identify where new fencing is
needed on the border. Once those plans are certified, people living here
illegally could begin to apply for a provisional status allowing them to
work here legally.If the 90 percent rate of apprehensio

phenomenon trade tick for tick in real time," he said in a
note to clients.One Bitcoin supporter with a unique perspective on the boom
might be Mike Caldwell, a 35-year-old software engineer based in suburban
Utah. Caldwell is unusual insofar as he mints physical versions of bitcoins
at his residence, cranking out thousands of homemade tokens with codes protected
by tamper-proof holographic seals -- a retro-futuristic kind of prepaid
cash.Caldwell acknowledges that the physical coins were intended as novelty
items, minted for the benefit of people "who had a hard time
grasping a virtual coin."But that hasn't held back business. Caldwell said
he'd minted between 16,000 and 17,000 coins in the year and a
half that he's been in business. Demand is so intense he recently
announced he was accepting clients by invitation only.Some may wonder whether
Caldwell's coins will one day be among the few physical reminders of
an expensive fad that evaporated into the ether -- perhaps the result
of a breakdown in its electronic architecture, or maybe after a crackdown
by government regulators.When asked, Caldwell acknowledged that bitcoin
might be in for a bumpy ride. But he drew the analogy

world in the
