Console-based AOL Instant Messenger & IRC client
pork is an ncurses-based AOL Instant Messenger and IRC client. It uses the OSCAR protocol (the one the windows client uses) to access AIM. Pork features Perl scripting; an online help system; the ability to configure nearly all aspects of the program's look-and-feel; an alias system; and a powerful, fully-configurable key binding system. It supports being logged in with more than one screen name at the same time. The default look-and-feel of the client is modeled after the ircII IRC client. Anyone comfortable using ircII (or any clients derived from it -- e.g., epic, BitchX, etc.) will feel comfortable using pork.

Orange tree not healthy
I have an orange tree that is unhealthy. Two others are doing very well so the climate is good. (I'm in So. Calif. near the beach) I'm using fertilizer that says "Citrus" on the bag and it seems t work on the other trees as they have a dark green almost blueish color and grow well. This tree does not grow well, the leaves fall off and are Yellow. It looks like lack of water but you see on the photos the grass around the tree is doing OK. I fill the basin around the tree with water a few times a week. The soil drains well here as it is mostly sand. A few years ago when I planted it I used a bag soil mulch-like stuff that was sold as being for citrus and cactus plants. The area gets some sun and some indirect sun. You can see in the photos that I have so many twiggs and not enough leaves. It did resently flower but I dout there will be any fruit I put some photos on "dropbox" here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6dqfhmdv5mla3hj/Ns-V-DMMJY
It was worse but I started an aggressive watering and fertile program half a year ago and now it is better, gom of the leaves are green now.

What's the thing around the trunk at the base of the tree?
Could be hiding some serious damage. And if it's a rigid material, your tree will eventually be girdled.
If it's there to avoid damage to the trunk, do as previously posted. Clear a two-foot diameter area around the base of the tree. Ideal would be out to the drip line.
Frankly, if that were my plant,I'd replace it. If you keep it, it will be a long, long road back to health, if it ever gets there.
who gardened for 30-some years in SoCal including lemon, limes and oranges.
Since the others are healthy, I would suspect Phytophera in the root zone; if it is, another tree planted in the same place will have the same problem. In any case, I would take out this tree; it doesn't seem worth saving.
Do you know what the rootstock is? Some rootstocks are more susceptible to phytophera than others.
I am in agreement with John, here. Your tree to me has classic signs of Phytophthora Root Rot. Same thing I believe I'm dealing with at my place (I'm about 6 miles from the beach). I would remove the tree. You can try to pot it up or replant it, and treat the new area by using treatment options listed in the link I provided you. It's an issue for us in S. Calif, especially in Orange County and San Diego County, where our weather by the beach is ideal for many kinds of fungal infections to proliferate, especially in the late winter/early spring when temps and environmental conditions are ideal (rainy season plus idea temps.)

Cass County authorities have joined Park Rapids police investigating the similarities between firebombing incidents in both counties. Last month a Molotov cocktail was thrown through a side window of Belle Taine Glass, off Highway 34 in Park Rapids. The cocktail extinguished itself once inside the company's offices, but causes gasoline stains and window damage. Two similar incidents occurred in Cass County, to Spitzack Builders in Walker, said Cass County investigator Robert Stein.
A committee of city and county officials has begun meeting to continue a long planned and partially begun truck alternate route around Park Rapids to route heavy industrial traffic away from the downtown area. The initial step was to begin the route off U.S. Highway 71 north near the defunct Candle Factory north of Park Rapids in 2006.

Secure Remote Storage through Authenticated EncryptionPublication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 3 - 9
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (299 KB) | | HTML
Storage systems are more distributed and more subject to attacks. Cryptographic file system gives a promising way to mitigate the danger of exposing data by using encryption and integrity protection methods and guarantee end-to-end security to clients. This paper describes SRSAE, a generic approach to cryptographic file system, as well as its realization in a distributed data storage environment. SRSAE applies authenticated encryption to each data block transferred between clients and the remote block devices. It provides strong data confidentiality and integrity protections through trusted IV (initialization vector) and MAC (message authentication code) comparison. Performance is optimized by buffering IV and MAC locally. Integration into original file system is presented with specific implementation. Related model, approach and system realization are elaborated, as well as testing results. Theoretical analysis and experimental simulations show that it is a practical and available way to build secure network storage system. View full abstract»
Reliability Assurance of RAID Storage Systems for a Wide Range of Latent Sector ErrorsPublication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 10 - 19| | Quick Abstract | PDF (300 KB) | | HTML
The low-cost disk drives, which are increasingly being adopted in today's data storage systems, have higher capacity but lower reliability, which leads to more frequent rebuilds and to a higher risk of unrecoverable or latent media errors. An intra-disk redundancy scheme has been proposed to cope with such errors and enhance the reliability of RAID systems. Empirical field results recently reported in the literature, however, suggest that the extent to which unrecoverable media errors occur is higher than the data sheet specifications provided by the disk manufacturers. Our results demonstrate that the reliability improvement due to intradisk redundancy is adversely affected because of the increase in the number of unrecoverable errors. We demonstrate that, by revising the parameter choice of the intradisk redundancy scheme, we can obtain essentially the same reliability as that of a system operating without unrecoverable sector errors. The I/O and throughput performance are evaluated by means of analysis and event-driven simulations. The effects of the spatial locality of errors and of the error-burst length distribution on the system reliability are also investigated. View full abstract»
Design and Analysis of a Scalable Third-Party Storage Security ProtocolPublication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 20 - 27
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (314 KB) | | HTML
With the trend of networking and the growth of data value, networked storage security becomes hotpot of research. Aiming at the scalability and security requirement of massive storage system, we proposed a security storage service model combining storage mechanism and security policy and designed a set of scalable third-party security protocols. The protocols adopt public-key cryptography to guarantee the integrity of capability, avoiding the maintenance of shared key. The results of the formal analysis logically ensure the feasibility of the proposed security protocol. Furthermore, the overhead evaluation of the capability illustrates that the security protocol can meet the scalability requirement of storage system. View full abstract»
Optimal Implementation of Continuous Data Protection (CDP) in Linux KernelPublication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 28 - 35
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (351 KB) | | HTML
To protect data and recover data in case of failures, Linux operating system has built-in MD device that implements RAID architectures. Such device can recover data in case of single hardware failure among multiple disks. But it cannot recover data that were damaged by human errors, virus attack, and disastrous failures. In this paper, we present an implementation of a device driver that is capable of recovering data to any point-in-time in case of various failures. A simple mathematical model is used to guide the optimization of our implementation in terms of space usage and recovery time. Extensive experiments have been carried out to show that the implementation is fairly robust and numerical results demonstrate that the implementation is optimal. View full abstract»
Fault Surviving Optimisation within Brick Based Storage SystemPublication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 36 - 43| | Quick Abstract | PDF (155 KB) | | HTML
The cost of providing an organization with enterprise class storage is continuing to rise, due primarily to the use of specialised components and the complex internal storage system structures. This high cost has resulted in researchers directing their efforts towards modular or 'brick' based storage, which utilise commodity components while employing autonomic principles for the management of the system, reducing the costs incurred during the lifetime of the storage system. While systems based upon this brick structure incorporate high levels of data reliability/availability, they fail to recognise the importance of ensuring the management services of a system are also tolerant of failures (such as optimisation). If system management services are not provided reliably, such storage systems which experience failures will degradedramatically in performance, especially when the node/s responsible for providing the management fails. This paper addresses the issue of providing fault tolerant management services within brick storage systems. We present in this paper our model of a system that can ensure the integrity and availability of data stored within brick based storage while ensuring the continual execution of the systems management services irrespective of failures within the system.

EBEM: An Event-driven Bandwidth Estimation Method for Mobile Ad Hoc NetworkPublication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 47 - 52| | Quick Abstract | PDF (396 KB) | | HTML
Quality of Service (QoS) support has been well studied as a hotspot in mobile ad hoc network. However, since interference range is much larger than transmission range, estimating available bandwidth at each node remains a challenge. To address this problem, a novel Event-driven Bandwidth Estimation Method (EBEM) is proposed in this paper. By incorporating a comprehensive intra-flow interference predicting approach and an event-driven inter-flow collision detecting strategy, EBEM could estimate nodal available bandwidth substantially, preventing the network from being overloaded. Results from simulation verify that EBEM not only surpasses typical AODV protocol in both end-to-end delay and packet delivery rate, but it also outperforms latest QAR method in both total throughput and packet delivery rate. As such, EBEM can be applied to various QoS routing protocols to estimate nodal available bandwidth. View full abstract»
Dynamic Route Diversion in Connectionless Mobile Ad Hoc NetworksPublication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 53 - 61| | Quick Abstract | PDF (512 KB) | | HTML
In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET), communication connections need to adapt to frequent unpredictable topology changes due to the mobility, energy constraints, and limited computing power of the mobile hosts. Early solutions address this fundamental requirement by employing techniques that can reconnect a broken link quickly with low overhead. This strategy, however, cannot cope with a high frequency of broken links in a high mobility environment. To address this problem, a few connectionless-oriented techniques, e.g., connectionless approach (CLA), have emerged. These schemes rely on any mobile hosts along the general direction towards the destination node to help forward the data packets. Extensive simulation results have shown that these methods are more robust, and perform significantly better than connection-oriented techniques. The current connectionless methods, however, may suffer from packet drops since traffic congestion is not considered in the packet forwarding policy. In this paper, we address this weakness by applying a cross-layer design, where the physical and MAC layer knowledge of the wireless medium is shared with higher layer, in order to provide efficient methods of establish and maintain routes. We proposed two connectionless-oriented dynamic route diversion techniques; and give simulation results, based on GloMoSim, to illustrate their performance advantage. View full abstract»
A Dynamic Congestion Control Based Multipath Routing Protocol for Video Transmission over Ad Hoc NetworksPublication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 62 - 69| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1174 KB) | | HTML
In wireless ad hoc networks, there are great challenges of supporting real-time video transmission due to the impact of frequent link interruptions, collisions, and bandwidth limitations and so on. Based on the analysis of the multipath routing and congestion control strategy, we propose a dynamic congestion control based multipath routing protocol (DccMR). DccMR establishes and maintains redundant multiple paths with very low routing overhead. A dynamic congestion control strategy is applied to adjust packets routing in a load-aware manner. When all shortest paths broken, a route update procedure will be initiated by the destination node, in which new paths will be reestablished whereas the video transmission will not be interrupted. Simulation results show that our protocol can decrease routing overhead significantly and improve the real-time video transmission quality. View full abstract»
Joint Topology-Transparent Scheduling and QoS Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc NetworksPublication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 70 - 77
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (390 KB) | | HTML
In this paper, a framework for joint topology-transparent scheduling (TTS) and quality-of-service (QoS) routing in mobile ad hoc networks is proposed. Inspired by the fact that TTS can guarantee single-hop QoS support without the overhead due to the re-computation of transmission schedules when the network topology changes, TTS is chosen as the medium access control (MAC) in both the control and data channels. An interference model which captures the difference between communication and interference ranges is considered. Under this interference model, mechanisms in the control channel are designed to collect information of nodes outside a node's communication range in order to provide QoS support. Based on the information collected, bandwidth calculation and reservation at individual nodes are developed to efficiently utilize the data channel resources provided by TTS. A routing protocol with (end-to-end) QoS support is then proposed by giving routing access to bandwidth information. The proposed framework using TTS as the underlying MAC to design a QoS routing protocol is demonstrated by means of simulations. View full abstract»
POND: The Power of Zone Overlapping in DHT NetworksPublication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 81 - 88| | Quick Abstract | PDF (228 KB) | | HTML
Distributed hash table (DHT) based algorithms have been proposed to solve the routing issues in large-scale peer-to-peer (P2P) applications. DHT systems create an elegant peer-to-peer service model and work perfect in a homogeneous environment. Workload are evenly distributed on every participating peer and system is supposed to achieve the optimal performance. However, in the real world, the complicated scenarios such as peerspsila capability heterogeneity, diverse file popularities, and mismatching problem between physical network structure and logical routing data structure, jeopardize the efficiency of DHT infrastructure and may result in serious load imbalance problem. In this paper, we propose -- POND, a novel and efficient DHT algorithm to relieve the above problem. In POND, peers are divided into two types: main peers (MP) and shadow peers(SP). As other DHT systems, POND splits the name space into several disjointed zones. However, unlike other systems which only have one peer in charge of each zone, in POND, we use zone overlapping technique. In each zone, a MP and several SPs are used for services. Any of them is capable to handle service requests fallen into this zone. When a new request is coming,the peer with the minimal load has the high possibility to be chosen to provide the service. Thus, the risk of overload problem is reduced. With the introduction of shadow peers, POND also provides better failure tolerance and relieves the hot spot problem. Moreover, POND can improve the routing performance by reducing the average number of routing hops per request. We conduct extensive simulation experiments and the results show POND is superior to other DHT algorithms. View full abstract»
Adaptive Consistency Guarantees for Large-Scale Replicated ServicesPublication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 89 - 96
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (346 KB) | | HTML
To maintain consistency, designers of replicated services have traditionally been forced to choose from either strong consistency guarantees or none at all. Realizing that a continuum between strong and optimistic consistencies is semantically meaningful for a broad range of network services, previous research has proposed a continuous consistency model for replicated services to support the tradeoff between the guaranteed consistency level, performance and availability. However, to meet changing application needs and to make the model useful for interactive users of large-scale replicated services, the adaptability and the swiftness of inconsistency resolution are important and challenging. This paper presents IDEA (an infrastructure for detection-based adaptive consistency guarantees) for adaptive consistency guarantees of large-scale, Internet-based replicated services. The main functions enabled by IDEA include quick inconsistency detection and resolution, consistency adaptation and quantified consistency level guarantees. Through experimentation on the Planet-Lab, IDEA is evaluated from two aspects: its adaptive consistency guarantees and its performance for inconsistency resolution. Results show that IDEA is able to provide consistency guarantees adaptive to userpsilas changing needs, and it achieves low delay for inconsistency resolution and incurs small communication overhead.

Applications of Bloom Filters in Peer-to-peer Systems: Issues and QuestionsPublication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 97 - 103
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (227 KB) | | HTML
Bloom filter is a widely-used data structure that concisely represents a large set of contents for approximate membership queries. Due to its good space efficiency, Bloom filter has been applied or customized in a variety of P2P system designs. Although the basic idea of Bloom filter is explained each time it is used, elaborative details are ignored. However, we argue that it is no.t always a trivial task to make a good decision on specific design aspects when applying Bloom filters in P2P systems. If not well deployed, the overhead and side effects of Bloom filters may outweigh their benefits. In this paper we study Bloom filter in the context of P2P systems, and explore its design space on several important issues. Our goal is to provide an in-depth understanding on Bloom filter's strength and weakness, and gain an insight into its usagein P2P systems. In addition, we raise some open questions that deserve further discussion among theP2P community. View full abstract»
A Effective Algorithm for Counting Active Flows Based on Loop Bloom FilterPublication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 104 - 109
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (330 KB) | | HTML
Network traffic analysis based on flows plays an important role in network monitoring and P2P identification. They are all grounded in flow counting and differ in how to count. Timeout detecting is a major strategy to identify termination of flows and can influence the validity of flow counting. The algorithms for counting flow based on Hash method can't deal with timeout problems perfectly. In this paper, a novel algorithm based on loop bloom filter is proposed. It can estimate active flow with timeout detection on high speed links more accurately. Experiment results show that this algorithm can ensure accuracy while only consuming minimum time and memories.

The Mobile Router Forwarding Scheme for Multicast in the NEMOPublication Year: 2008 , Page(s): 113 - 120| | Quick Abstract | PDF (615 KB) | | HTML
Multicast is an efficient method to transmit datagrams in the Internet. In this paper, we provide a multicast algorithm in a network mobility (NEMO) environment. We propose the mobile router forwarding scheme (MRFS) algorithm. There are two advantages in the MRFS algorithm. First, MRFS reduces the storages in every MR especially in the TLMR (top level MR). Second, MRFS transmits multicast datagrams more efficiently that because MRFS transmit multicast datagrams not only by TLMR but also by every MR. The above of two advantages are achieved using MRFS tables. In this paper, MRFS algorithm is analyzed. MRFS algorithm is more efficient than other multicast protocols in the NEMO according to the evaluation. View full abstract»

Hotel Employee went the "extra mile" for me. Thanks to her!
Marginal bedding/matress. Toiletries were poor quality. Pub was closed both weekend nites! Cleaning staff knocked on doors loudly enough mornings as to wake me even though my room was spared direct knocking due to "do not disturb" sign.

The room was clean and the hotel had nice amenities. However, the desk people as well as those not on the desk were excellent.
The bathtub drains were somewhat slow - should be easily remedied.
It's easily accessible from the highway and near to gas stations and eating establishments.

Mr. Orion is a partner at Lawyers for Clean Energy in San Francisco, CA.
A number of forces are driving renewable energy developers to look south of the border for the next big opportunity in wind energy. Rising along the U.S.-Mexican border between the cities of Tijuana and Mexicali, the mountainous region known as La Rumorosa is thought to have such plentiful wind resources that developing only a fraction of the technical potential could nearly triple the amount of wind power installed in California today. The region's location directly adjacent to the California border gives project developers an opportunity to sell this plentiful resource into the substantial renewable energy market in California, where California utilities are striving to satisfy 33 percent of their retail electricity demand with renewable energy by the year 2020. And despite efforts by regulators to speed the process along, building utility-scale renewable energy projects in California has proven to be a multiyear undertaking, often leading to costly delays in obtaining necessary approvals.
These converging forces have set the stage for a significant new cross-border market in renewable energy. Counsel advising project developers should be prepared to provide strategic advice on a number of unique legal and regulatory challenges facing such a venture, including securing land rights for the facility, transporting the power, ensuring it satisfies California's requirements for out-of-state renewable energy, and complying with Mexico's statutory environmental review process.
The process of securing land rights in Mexico is often bewildering to foreign developers. The Mexican Constitution places restrictions on foreign ownership in the 100-kilometer strip of land along the U.S.-Mexico border (which includes most of Baja's wind region), requiring foreign owners to establish a Mexican corporation to take direct title of land to be used for commercial purposes. Finding the correct party from which to purchase the land can be surprisingly difficult, however, as land in Baja California is notorious for being encumbered with conflicting claims of title. Stories abound of unwary buyers who purchased land from a seller only to later find out that a third party has a conflicting claim of title. Sempra Energy found itself enmeshed in one such controversy when a local landowner stepped forward to claim rights to land within a buffer zone that was required to be maintained around Sempra's liquefied natural gas terminal in Baja, triggering protracted litigation that has threatened revocation of the facility's operating permits. An additional complication is that half of the land in Mexico, including much of the land around La Rumorosa, is owned by land collectives called ejidos. Doing business with an ejido requires strict adherence to the decision-making procedures set forth in the ejido's regulations (for example, on the number of members who must assent to a transaction) to ensure that a transfer of land will be enforceable. Retaining experienced local counsel is highly encouraged.
Deciding the best way to transport the power is as important as securing land rights. The first major project in the region, known as the Sempra Energia Sierra Juarez project, will include the construction of a new transmission line and substation switchyard, which will connect to the Southwest Powerlink in San Diego County near the town of Jacumba. Because building a new international transmission line requires approval from the U.S. Department of Energy, this approach will require review under the National Environmental Policy Act. See, e.g., Border Power Plant Working Group v. Dept. of Energy, 260 F. Supp. 2d 997, 1006 (S.D. Cal. 2003). Building a new transmission line may be less feasible for future projects, as the region extends for more than 100 miles to the south, and later entrants may be farther from the border.
The other option for delivering power is to transport it through the existing transmission grid (called "wheeling"). There are two major north-south transmission lines crossing the border, one near Tijuana and the other near Mexicali. An east-west transmission line connects the two and is operated by the Mexican federal utility, the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE). However, the existing transmission lines are severely capacity constrained, and Mexican law prohibits CFE from building new capacity for the sole purpose of exporting power. Wheeling power through the CFE grid will incur charges that must be considered in evaluating the project's costs.
Once the transmission pathway is secured, the next hurdle is ensuring that the power will qualify for the California Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) program. This is crucial because the RPS program requires California's utilities to meet 33 percent of their retail demand with renewable energy by 2020, and they will not likely contract for power unless it is RPS-compliant. The California Energy Commission (CEC) is tasked with making the certification determination according to standards set forth in the statute. Of particular importance for out-of-state sellers, like those in Baja, is the requirement to show that the project will not contribute to the violation of any California environmental standard or requirement. Cal. Pub. Res. Code § 25741(b)(2)(B)(iv); see also Commission Guidebook, Renewable Portfolio Standard Eligibility, Fourth Edition at 53–55 (Jan. 2011). Demonstrating such compliance requires the project developer to summarize all state and local Laws, Ordinances, Regulations, or Standards (known as LORS) that may be violated by the project and to evaluate whether the project will contribute to any such violation. The CEC reviews these applications on a case-by-case basis, but allows an applicant to seek provisional or "precertification" subject to verification after the facility comes online.
Project developers will need to comply with environmental requirements on the Mexican side of the border as well. In 1988, Mexico established a comprehensive environmental review process modeled on the process in the United States. See General Law of Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection, tit. I, ch. IV, sec. V, art. 28–35, in Diario Oficial de la Federacion (Jan. 28, 1988) (General Ecology Law). The General Ecology Law requires the preparation of an environmental impact assessment when certain types of projects (including wind farms) could cause an ecological imbalance or exceed environmental conditions prescribed by statute, regulation, or norm. Id., art. 5, 28. The review process requires the project proponent to prepare an environmental impact assessment and submit it to the Secretary of the Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) for approval. Upon receipt, SEMARNAT, a cabinet-level agency of the Mexican government, comparable to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, will review the submission for compliance with the General Ecology Law and applicable regulations and technical norms promulgated thereunder. Id., art. 35. Within a maximum of 180 days, the agency must issue a determination either granting approval for the project as proposed, denying approval of the project, or granting approval subject to modification or establishment of additional protective measures. Id.
By way of overview, Mexican environmental law is a three-tiered system consisting of statutes, regulations, and norms. Norms are technical standards promulgated by agencies of the federal government that tend to be media and industry specific. Mexico has established a norm relating to the development of wind energy projects that establishes technical specifications for protecting the environment during all phases of the project, from initial site preparation through construction, operation, and eventual decommissioning of the facility. See Norma Oficial Mexicana PROY-NOM-151-SEMARNAT-2006 (Norm).
During the site preparation phase, the Norm requires implementation of measures to avoid contamination of storm water, procedures for storage of extracted materials, procedures for cleaning spills, and specifications for the location of the wind turbines in relation to one another. Id. ¶¶ 4.2.8–9, 4.2.12, 4.2.14. During the construction phase, the Norm contains provisions for the handling and disposal of construction materials and hazardous waste, provisions for discharge of wastewater, limits on the discharge of air pollutants, and activities to prevent erosion from roads. Id. ¶¶ 4.3.2–7, 4.3.9–11, 4.3.14. Of note, the Norm also contains provisions related to wind turbine design, intended to minimize impacts to visual resources in the surrounding area. Id. ¶ 4.3.18.
During the operation phase, the Norm contains requirements for ongoing maintenance and repair of facilities and provisions designed to avoid water pollution. Id. ¶¶ 4.4.1, 4.4.3. In addition, where impacts to birds are likely to occur, the developer must draw up measures to mitigate those impacts. Id. ¶ 4.4.5. Finally, the Norm contains provisions for decommissioning facilities, which include removal of above-ground infrastructure, restoration of affected areas with native vegetation, and removal of all waste generated at the facility. Id. ¶ 4.5. Compliance with these provisions is ensured through a process of third-party verification performed by either the Federal Attorney for Environmental Compliance (known as PROFEPA, a department of SEMARNAT), or a duly accredited and approved third-party verifier.
Because wind energy projects are covered by an official Mexican norm, the developer need not conduct a full-blown environmental impact assessment for the project. See Regulation Implementing the General Law on Environmental Protection and Ecological Balance as It Relates to Environmental Impact Evaluation, ch. IV, art. 29, in Diario Oficial de la Federacion (June 7, 1988) (Environmental Impact Regulation). Instead, the developer prepares and submits to SEMARNAT a more streamlined environmental assessment known as a Preventive Report. Norm ¶ 4.1.1. Among other things, the Preventive Report must: identify the project and the developer; describe the equipment to be used and the affected environment; discuss the emissions, discharges, and wastes expected to be generated by the project; and identify the significant environmental impacts of the project, along with measures to prevent and mitigate those impacts. Environmental Impact Regulation, ch. IV, art. 30. The Norm explicitly requires the Preventive Report to take account of certain environmental resources, including thorough studies on wind conditions and the impact of the project on soils, geological resources, flora and fauna, and visual resources, among others. Norm ¶ 4.1.3 & Annex A.
Like any major project, the unique challenges of developing wind energy projects in Baja California must be weighed carefully before proceeding. For those willing to undertake the venture, the scope of the challenge will be matched by the scope of the resource and market potential available, which presents an attractive opportunity for developers. Though environmental compliance procedures in Mexico differ from those in the United States, those who are eager to see increasing quantities of renewable energy flowing into the system should recognize the benefit of developing not only the resources available in our own back yard but also those available right next door.

texted me about my card has been limited @ 12:21 am. it said please call 855 534 5451.
Same thing calls stating I have been approve but again nothing Ive done... Stupid calls beware they will try and scam you.. And avoid saying yes and okay as they like to record the conversation making it appear as if you are accepting a loan..
Not sure of the company and I am quite certain they masked their caller-id with this number. They have called a few times stating they are representing oil, gas & other natural resource companies and they want to confirm my information and they assure me this is not a sales call. I suspect they are trying to slam my gas and/or electricity provider by 'confirming' my information. When I questioned why they are calling me or why I need to confirm my information they hang up.

SATURDAY WAKE UP CALL- Self Mastery and Nonviolence
in Spirituality
Dr. Maisha Hazzard continues Khepra's participation in the SEASON FOR NONVIOLENCE: a 64 day campaign, co-founded in 1998 by Dr. Arun Gandhi and The Association for Global New Thought (AGNT), spanning the January 30th and April 4th memorial anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
This weekend marks 50 years since the violent crackdown on peaceful marchers in Selma, Alabama. March 7, 1965, became known as "Bloody Sunday". We commemorate this demonstration of Nonviolent Direct Action for social justice by continuing to talk about awakening within us what Gandhi called Satyagrapha -- Soul Force or Truth Force.
There are three foundation stones for Self Mastery in Nonviolent Direct Action: Spiritual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence, and Strategic Intuition and Intelligence.
Today we focus on SELF MASTERY AND NONVIOLENCE
Yale psychologist Peter Salovey, maps the ways in which we can bring Intelligence and Self Mastery to our emotions in challenging situations:
1. Knowing one's emotions.
2. Managing emotions.
3. Motivating oneself.
4. Recognizing emotions in others.
5. Handling relationships.

Do Psychics Guide, Direct, Help or Interfere with Mental and Emotional Health?
in Self Help
This episode features a discussion with author and psychotherapist Reverend Lea Chapin – who is also a bona fide Channeler (psychic) who has worked with the FBI and authored several books including The Twelve Mastery Teachings of Christ. In this conversation she shares uplifting interventions from her book as well as discusses with Dr. Kemp the fears and doubts people have about spiritual gifts and psychics. Differences are then shared between tapping into one's "own inner knowing" versus channeled information from a channel or psychic. The discussion also explores Rev. Lea's personal journey from victim to victor with regard to forgiving childhood abuse, and how she triumphantly became a healer using traditional remedies along with alternative and holistic healing modalities that led to her uncovering her spiritual gifts.

Self Mastery
in Spirituality
Self Mastery is simply stated mastering the idea of self? It is about who we are not what we are. What we are is established by the outer world? Who we are is set from the inside out not the outside in? When we establish an identitiy we generally set this by the statndards of the outer world if this is done then your life is not yours it is controlled by the external not the internal self. Liveing externally the we are living a life of indoctrination not the one we intended? An Americn Monk Steven Hairfield and Liara Covert, Ph.D. share their colective knowledge to make a difference in how we live as who not what we are.

Self Mastery and the Power of Intention
in Spirituality
This show is about Self Mastery and the power of Intention. It is our intentions in any situation which truly holds the power in how we are going to live. Intention determines our experiences as well. If one is in alignment with their intention then we become truly self determining in our life. What is your intention for you? What is it that you choose to hold as an experience? Keep your intention only on that for the experience. The power of thought is how the intentin is guided! The power of the heart is the engine behind the intentin. If one is fearful of what they intend then the intention becomes greatly deminished. I comes down to self worth and having the experience. A person that has experienced much in the way of rejection will most times be fearful in their intentions. Call and let us talk. May we guide you only in light and love, Shanti.

|Epithelioid sarcoma
Micrograph of an epithelioid sarcoma. H&E stain.
|Classification and external resources
Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare mesenchymal soft tissue tumour with an epithelioid pattern. It often occurs in the extremities, and is more commonly found in young adults.[1]
The diagnosis is made by examination of tissue, e.g. a biopsy. The diagnosis may be delayed because of the unusual nature of the tumour and its rarity. Its histomorphology near perfectly may mimic an adenocarcinoma, melanoma or granuloma.
Their immunohistochemical profile may mimic those of carcinomas; thus, these tumours may be misdiagnosed as such.
They typically stain for vimentin and keratins. They characteristically have loss of staining for SMARCB1 (INI1, BAF47), and typically stain for CA125.[2]

Initial offering & too much info --what would you do?
I've posted once or twice about our plans to build in a ski resort area with when we retire. With a couple of exceptions, the mountain base area we prefer is built out, with a few in-fill lots. One exception was a hold-out cattle ranch that finally sold out to a developer in early 2007. The developer developed a nice neotraditional subdivision on the land which was completed in 2008. It has some lovely creekside lots in a superb location. Only 11 lots sold on 2008, then no sales until the developer cut the prices in half in 2010 which brought 4 sales, about 40% of original list prices. Fast forward through a failed developer bankruptcy, followed by foreclosure. The investor that bought the loan at a steep discount and then bid it in at foreclosure in December is now the owner. The lots have been off the MLS since the foreclosure.
The last few months have seen some pre-announcement teasers, but this week the listing agent send out a price list and an announcement that offers in by May 13 (next Monday!) will be considered in the offering. The announcement states that the seller "intends to sell 5-10 lots in the initial offering and then will reevaluate pricing." Other realtors have blogged that the investor plans to sell 5-10 lots at the advertised pricing and then will raise prices 5%.
The new prices are for lots ranging from single family lots between 140-260; creekside duplex lots between 345-450; and "estate" creekside lots of approx 1+ acre at 450-550. We are interested in a few mid-range creekside duplex lots.
Currently, before these lots go on MLS, there are 39 active listings for land in the mountain base area of town. When these lots go live, the inventory
will more than double. There are few sold comps. Since the 1st of 2012 there have been only 7 sales closed in the area. Even with no comps, I would guess that the smaller sf lots are probably priced well because prices like that haven't been seen in for while in this market. So although there are no comps, the reason is that nothing like those lots has been available. There are a few current listings and one pending sale comparable to the larger single family lots, and based on these and the fact that these are a bit nicer (IMO), I would speculate that these are priced pretty well. If I were buying a sf lot there is at least one of the lots that I would offer full price. But that won't work for us. IMO two of the estate lots are overpriced, while the most expensive two are high, but those are so unique and secluded but
close to everything, they may well justify the prices and there have been a couple of sold comps that would support the price although there are a couple that are lower.
Duplex lots are more problematic. There have been some in-fill duplex lots on the market some for years between 325 and 600 (significantly larger and a view lot). Most others are priced bet. 350-495 and are well located. All have been on very market a very long time, in some cases 3-4 years. There has been one duplex comp -- a nice golf-course property at the mountain base that went on the market one day, we looked at it the next, and by the time we called our realtor that night it was already under contract. It sold for 400,000 in April of last year. All this is to say, I think the duplex lots are priced slightly high for fast sales and the seller is going to have a hard time selling the duplex lots without a lengthy holding period. Just a side note, prior to the crash high-end duplexes were the spec builders dream in this area. More than 65% if the homes in this area second homes.
I'm not comfortable with the duplex pricing until the market tells me otherwise. I am prepared to make an offer, at about 70%-75% of list. It will be a cash offer and we could close as soon as title work is complete.
What would you do? Is making the offer even worth the effort? My thought that what is the harm, and just like the seller is testing the market with this sales strategy, I can test them with a lower offer? I am prepared to go higher depending upon how the sales shake out. But given lack of comps and recent market conditions, I am not comfortable with going much higher now and we're in no hurry.
Assume that I have all legal issues covered and have done my due
diligence on the hoa, covenants, budgets, design guidelines, etc.

This was a long thing to read through, but I'm with everyone else. I was born in sales.
You don't ask, you don't get! Period.
Here is your best sentence: "What would it take..." for us to work this out... Do you want a cut? Come on! Work with me... stuff like that.
In your shoes I would absolutely make what I considered a fair offer. No real downside for you, but probably unlikely that seller would sell first lot significantly lower than asking as would devalue all of the rest of the lots unless 1) you have a way to keep the true sale price from being a comp 2) they are desperate for the cash.
Thanks all! We made an offer and although it is still technically open, we don't expect it to be accepted or even countered at a price that we are willing to accept given the lack of comps. I think invisible nailed it. The seller is not desperate for cash and has time to see what the market will do. Luckily, there are several lots we like and we are not in a rush. We can keep our options open and after the market speaks either with sales or time on the market we can reevaluate.

Parts of ObamaCare are beginning to fall away, even before full implementation. The Obama administration is currently saying that a special system of exchanges designed to make it easier for small businesses to provide insurance will be delayed now until 2015.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
4/4/2013 (1 year ago)
Published in Politics & Policy
Keywords: ObamaCare, medical devices, small businesses, medical insurance
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "Lots of small businesses struggle with providing insurance for their workers so this was supposed to facilitate it and make it easier for small business to do this," Jim Capretta of the Ethics and Public Policy Center says.
"It was a huge portion of the sale job. When they passed the law in 2010 there were many senators and members of Congress who were saying 'I am doing this because it's going to help small businesses.'" Capretta added that the administration is "way" behind schedule.
The exchanges were originally meant to give workers a range of choices supported from their employers. At the present, they will now have only one choice until 2015, meaning they can't shop for insurance that includes their current providers.
Insurance is far more expensive for small businesses. Many have no obligation under current U.S. law to provide coverage. Analysts now fear many might just stop trying and let workers go on the soon-to-be-launched state exchanges.
"Even if it's just a small change of people who are leaving the employment-based insurance and coming into the individual insurance market, their costs and their numbers will overwhelm those who are currently uninsured," Sara Teppema of the Society of Actuaries, following an exhaustive study of ObamaCare, said. Essentially, costs will increase.
In the meantime, 79 senators, including several liberal lawmakers recently voted to repeal a new tax on medical devices contained in the health care law following a similar vote in the House.
"The House and the Senate agreeing? This is a harmonic convergence, it doesn't happen," former Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh said. "But on this it's happened because the adverse consequences to our economy and the quality of health care are so apparent."
Critics say that a 2.3 percent sales tax on medical devices is unfair to the industry since it's a tax on gross sales, meaning it adds up to a much bigger percentage of a company's profits.
"I think that repealing the device tax would be irresponsible. We need the revenue and it's not going to be a job killer," Paul Van de Water of the Center for American Progress says, who opposes any repeal.
ObamaCare ostensibly would insure 30 million more people. As a result, device makers, like pharmaceutical companies, would get lots of new customers and a steady stream of new revenue to make up for the tax. Van de Water predicted that would still happen.
"These device manufacturers are for the most part going to be getting a large increase in business thanks to health reform, thanks to ObamaCare," he said.
That's not necessarily true for the 7,000 small companies with 400,000 employees who make a wide range of devices.
"We make widgets -- hips, knees, stents, pacemakers, and implants, even, for prostate cancer. Those widgets tend to be used by people that are elderly. As the body parts wear out, we're needed," CEO of Theragenics Christine Jacobs says
Jacobs notes that most people whose body parts wear out are already on Medicare, so ObamaCare does not provide a new revenue stream for her company -- only financial pain.
"In the case of a small company, that medical device tax is equal to our R-and-D budget for this year," Jacobs said.
