1947: 

"KNEW GERMAN BATTLE ORDER 

COLONEL SERVED IN ENEMY ARMY - From our Special Correspondent 

Bourne End, Bucks. - Thursday 

"Lt. Col. Alexander Patterson Scotl.a.nd, the 58 year-old British 

Intelligence Corps officer who served in the German army during the 

war, knew at one time the disposition of nearly all the German armed 

forces. 

"Mrs. Scotland. revealed this when I spoke to her today in their 

bungalow here. It was the only piece of information she was prepared 

to divulge. 

"'I had security drummed into me f'or so long that I don't believe 

I could tell you mu.ch even if I wanted to', she said. 'When my husband 

arrives back in a few days I have no doubt he will tell you the whole 

story himself • ' 

"Vanished for Weeks 

"Col. Scotland was a mystery ma.n to his neighbours in Bourne End 

during the war. There were times when he disappeared f'or weeks. Some 

thought he had a 'cushy sit-down job a.t the War Office'. 

"While Col. Scotland lived dangerously within the stronghold of' 

the enemy, his wife contributed to the war ef'fort by ma.king radiolocation valves at a factory near her home. 

"'When I arrived home in the war years,' she said, 'I was tired 

and if my husband was in we did not talk much of what he was doing. 

He spent a J.ot of his spare time pottering about in the garden. We 

both know Germany pretty well and have visited the country frequently'.

    of interest, including capitalized interest and preferred stock dividends

    interest portion of rentals.

(2) The Company's ratio of earnings to fixed charges includes the effect of
    the Company's finance subsidiaries, which primarily finance Xerox
    equipment.  Financing businesses are more highly leveraged and,
    therefore, tend to operate at lower earnings to fixed charges ratio
    levels than do non-financial businesses.

M. Miller 

A. August 

Once upon a midnite dreary, while they pondered, weak and weary, 

Over many an ancient message writ in Hirohito's code, 

While they doodled on the table, suddenly there came a cable 

Bearing an Australian label, that's the reason for this ode. 

T'was a set of silly numbers, numbers they had seen before, 

Only this and nothing more. 

Ah, distinctly I remember, the messages were from December, 

And, though t 1was in the month of April, still they didn't 

know the scor/e, 

Could the cable be revealing what the Nipa:h&d been concealing? 

In Frank's mind this thought came stealing, ~everishly he paced 

the floor, 

Then at last he cried, "I have 1t! 11 buy a razor from the store, 

I'll wear my vandyke no more! 

This was 2468 1 s forming, on into the early morning, 

Slaved the foster fathers, as they built them up a square, 

And all the new recruits were staging quite a violent depaging, 

As all in secrecy engaging, shut them in a secret lair. 

The chosen only were admitted, had their names upon the door, 

Only these and no one more.

High was each and every heart as swing and graveyard got their 

start, 

And volunteers vied for the privilege of this patriotic chore, 

Corp. Snyder was in charge of strippigl, 

Louise and Chew kept traffic zipping 

To find out what the Japs were shipping, 

That's what all were sweating for. 

Coleman, Elmquist, Sinkov, Dunning, we should have mentioned 

them before, 

But you try to make them rime with or. 

In June the state of Caroli~a, and Missionaries back from China. 

Put on their shoes, packed up their Bibles, swarmed like locusts 

to the Hall, 

And school kids all across the nation got a permanent vacation, 

Cause teachErBheaded for the station, heeding the recruiters 

call, 

M.A.'s B.A.'s PH.D's, candidates for Sp-4 

(They still are this and nothing more.) 

Then along came period 711 everybody was in heaven, 

Pencil-pushing-mamma.s sank the shipping of Japan, 

But then the nasty Nip did dare, in Period 8 to change the square, 

Making it a vigenere production; charts went down again, 

But Seidenglanz knew the solution that would our confidence restore, 

"Boys, move the furniture once more."

Now April 6th we celebrate your birthday, dear 2468, 

Even though you're growing tougher, tougher with each passing 

year, 

Though our overlaps are sta~ling~ and production charts are 

falling, 

Cryptanalysis is still our calling, it 1 s got to be we•re 

frozen herel 

And we'll reply when our children query what did you do in 

the war,

Before: CANBY, TROTT, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges. 

Zaira Elizabeth Coronel appeals from the 120-month sentence imposed

following her guilty-plea conviction for importation of cocaine, in violation of 21

FILED

NOV 19 2012

MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK

U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
2 11-50128

Coronel contends that the district court erred by applying the wrong legal

standard when evaluating whether she was entitled to relief under the safety valve

provision of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(f). The record reflects that the district court applied

the correct legal standard in denying safety valve relief.

Coronel also contends that the district court erred by failing to provide an

adequate statement of reasons for denying relief and because Coronel made a

good-faith effort to truthfully provide all information and evidence concerning the

offense. The record supports the district court’s determination that Coronel’s

testimony was inconsistent and conflicting. The district court did not clearly err

when it determined that Coronel did not meet her burden of proving by a

preponderance of the evidence that she qualified for safety valve relief. See United

States v. Diaz-Cardenas, 351 F.3d 404, 409 (9th Cir. 2003).
