1. Technical Field
This invention relates generally to network computing systems, more particularly, to an improved method and system for remotely waking a computer from a network, and still more particularly to an improved method and system for remotely waking a computer from a network wherein the likelihood of an unauthorized remotely initiated wake up is diminished.
2. Description of the Related Art
Computer networks are commonly used in offices or corporate environments to interconnect personal computers. Well-known local area networks (LANs), such as Ethernet, Token Ring and ARCnet, are widely used to connect a group of computers and other devices that are dispersed over a relatively limited area, such as an office or building, and new LANs continue to be developed. These local area networks provide an efficient and economical way for personal computers to share information and peripherals.
Of course, computer networks are not limited to the confines of an office or building. Smaller networks are commonly interconnected into wide area networks (WANs), such as the Internet, to provide a communications link over a larger area. The Internet is actually a collection of networks that share the same namespace and use the TCP/IP protocols. Originally developed for the military in 1969, the Internet now connects over four hundred networks and tens of thousands of nodes in over forty-two countries. It is estimated that the Internet is now accessed by more than 10 million people every day, and that perhaps as many as 513 million people have access to the Internet.
As is well known in the art, the transmission of data packets across networks is governed by a set of rules called "transport protocols." In order for two computers in a local area network to communicate with one another, each computer must use the proper transport protocol for the particular network. During the last decade, many different transport protocols have evolved for different networks. For example, TCP/IP is the transport protocol widely used in UNIX-based networks and with Ethernet 802.3 LANs; IPX/SPX is the transport protocol used by Novell Corporation's NetWare software; NetBEUI is the local-area transport protocol developed by IBM to operate underneath Microsoft's NetBIOS network interface; DECnet is the transport protocol used by Digital Equipment Corporation for linking computer systems to DECnet-based networks; AppleTalk is the transport protocol developed by Apple Computer, Inc. for linking computer systems to Apple Macintosh network systems; and XNS is the transport protocol developed by Xerox Corporation that was used in early Ethernet networks. These transport protocols, which are all well known in the art, are often implemented as drivers which can be loaded into and removed from a computer system.
Networks, such as the Internet, continue to grow in size. Often network size increases when one network, such as a LAN, connects to another network, such as another LAN or the Internet, using a router or other similar means. As a result of the increasing size, redundant paths are created for data to travel on the network. The redundant paths may create a "routing loop" where a packet, while in transit across the network, is sent by one router to a router that previously had seen the packet. If a packet entered a routing loop, the packet could conceivable exists on the network forever. To prevent endless circulation, the IP protocol uses a time-to-live (TTL) counter in the packet. Each time a packet reaches a router the TTL is reduced by one. The machine transmitting a packet has no control over the behavior of the TTL as the packet travels across the network. When the TTL reaches zero, the router drops the packet.
In order to connect to a network, a computer is usually provided with one or more network interface cards that provide a data link to the network. Each network interface card has a unique address, referred to herein as its "destination address," which enables each computer to be individually addressed by any other computer in the network. The destination address is typically, but not always, a 12 digit hexadecimal number (e.g., 00AA00123456) that is programmed into non-volatile memory located on the network interface card and is generally hidden from the user's view.
The destination address of a computer is analogous to a person's social security number in that, although every person in the country is assigned a unique social security number, it is generally not known to other people and rarely used in normal communications. Likewise, the destination address of a computer is a more primitive means of identifying the computer, and users are not expected to know and remember the destination address of every computer in the network. Instead, every computer generally has a computer name (commonly corresponding to the user's name and/or machine location) that is more widely known. When a user desires to send a message to another computer, the transport protocol in the network is responsible for converting the computer name into the corresponding destination address to facilitate communicating between the two computers.
Because wide area networks (WANs) often include a collection of a wide variety of machines, organizations and individuals, these networks must provide the means to exchange data between dissimilar machines and across many different transport protocols. To accomplish this, each transport protocol has its own layer of addressing information that enables it to exchange electronic mail, data files, programs, etc. between one LAN and another LAN. As a data packet is transmitted across different networks, the addressing information for one transport protocol is layered upon the addressing information for the next transport protocol.
Therefore, the address of an individual, computer, or organization on the Internet has several layers or components including the domain name or user name, the underlying identifiers used by the transport protocol(s) that govern the data exchange, and the actual destination address. Each transport protocol is designed to extract the appropriate destination address to ensure that each message packet is routed to its intended recipient.
To illustrate the distinctions between the various layers of addressing information, consider an individual computer user in Atlanta who wishes to send an e-mail message to a destination computer in Seattle where the computer in Atlanta is connected to an Internet service provider and the computer in Seattle is connected to a corporate local area network. Generally, the user in Atlanta will know, or can readily obtain, the recipient's computer name (e.g., www.recipient.com), but will not know the recipient's Internet address or actual destination address. Nonetheless, the transport protocols will abstract the destination address from the message packet as it is transmitted across the network.
Therefore, the user in Atlanta will simply type the recipient's computer name, www.recipient.com, as the address of the destination computer. The message packet will be sent via the Internet, where the TCP/IP transport protocol will convert the computer name into a more primitive Internet address, which is a 32-bit value that identifies the host's network ID and host ID within the network, e.g., 123.456.7.8. The message packet is then routed to the corporate LAN in Seattle, where a component in the LAN, typically a server, will convert the Internet address into the destination address of the recipient's network interface card, e.g., 00AA00123456.
Meanwhile, the network interface card of the destination computer is designed to continually monitor incoming packets over the network. When the network interface card detects an incoming packet containing its destination address, the network interface card will identify itself as the intended recipient of the packet.
In full power mode communications transmissions occur between two computers automatically and completely invisible to the user. However, efforts are now being made to extend the use of network computing to power management applications, in which one or more of the computers may be operating in a low power mode. In particular, there is increasing demand for power management systems that minimize the energy consumption of computer systems, yet still allow the possibility for receiving remote communications from other computers via a network. These power management systems must provide a mechanism for "waking" a remote computer system from the network in order to receive the communications.
Generally stated, "power management" refers to a computer system's ability to conserve or otherwise manage the power that it consumes. Although power management concerns were originally focused on battery-powered portable computers, these concerns now extend to AC-powered "desktop" computer systems as well. For example, the United States government now provides strong incentives to those in the computer industry to promote energy efficiency in computers.
More particularly, power management refers to the ability to dynamically power down a computer or certain devices when they are not in use, thereby conserving energy. A computer in this condition is referred to herein as being in a "power down" state or condition. Power is then restored to the computer or devices when they are required for use. This process is often referred to as "waking" the computer.
A computer in a power down state may be in a "suspended power state" or a "hibernated power state." In general, a computer in a suspended power state is similar to a computer with all power removed, except that power to memory is maintained and dynamic RAM (DRAM) is refreshed. In addition, the operations of the computer are held in a suspended power state for a suspend operation, whereas the system loses its current operational state on a general power down.
A computer in a hibernated power state is similar to the suspended power state, except that the memory states are written to disk and the entire computer system is shut down.
Although there are several existing power management systems, most are not designed to operate in a network computing environment. Further, those that are designed to operate in a network are limited in their usefulness. For example, in one prior system for waking a computer from a local area network, a remote wake frame or "magic packet" is defined that includes the destination address repeated 16 times somewhere within the packet. While the computer is in the power down state, its network interface card continually monitors all incoming message packets for one that has its destination address repeated 16 times. When the network interface card detects an incoming packet with this address sequence, the network interface card transmits a signal to the operating system to wake the computer.
A significant limitation with this system is that it provides little, if any, security. Anyone with access to the network may send a packet to wake sleeping systems, permitting nuisance attacks where an unauthorized computer wakes systems needlessly on the network.
Attempts to solve the security issues associated with waking a remote computer have focused on using passwords in the magic packet. However, passwords only provide limited protection. Once discovered the password may be used by any computer on the network. An unauthorized system may uncover the password by any number of means, including "brute force" or "sniffing." Brute force password discovery is defined as trying all possibilities until the password is found. Sniffing refers to a machine listening for all packets on the network, including those addressed to other machines. If the sniffed packet is determined to be a magic packet the password is extracted.
Therefore, there is a need for an improved method and system of waking a remote computer on a network where the likelihood of an unauthorized remotely initiated wake up is diminished.
As will be seen, the foregoing invention satisfies the foregoing needs and accomplishes additional objectives. Briefly described, the present invention provides an improved method and system for remotely waking a client system from a network. In contrast to previous systems, the method and system of the present invention diminishes the likelihood of an unauthorized remotely initiated wake up by employing a transit value.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a method and system of waking a client system that is in a power down state (the "sleeping computer") from a computer network is provided. The sleeping computer includes a network interface card that listens for a particular data sequence. The method and system begin when an incoming data packet is transmitted from one of the remote computers in the computer network to the sleeping computer. When the network interface card detects the incoming packet, it searches the incoming packet for the particular data sequence associated with the sleeping computer. Further, the "transit value," or time-to-live (TTL), in the incoming packet is compared to a predetermined value. The TTL value indicates how far the data packet has traveled through the network, indicating the approximate origin of the data packet. Knowing the approximate origin of the data packet allows the client system to identify if the data packet originated from an external network. The predetermined value represents an origin within the internal network. Accordingly, if the incoming packet contains the particular data sequence associated with the sleeping computer and the TTL matches the predetermined value, then a signal is issued to wake the sleeping computer. Otherwise, the incoming packet is discarded and the sleeping computer is not awakened.
The novel features believed characteristic of the invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, as well as a preferred mode of use, further objects and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Referring now to the drawing figures, in which like numerals indicate like elements or steps throughout the several views, the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described. In general, the present invention provides an improved method and system for waking a client system from a network. In contrast to previous systems, the present invention described herein diminishes the likelihood of an unauthorized remotely initiated wake up.
The network computing environment depicted in
Referring to
In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method of waking a remote computer from the network is provided. For example, in the diagram shown in
Referring to
The manner of initially communicating to a client system an acceptable transit value may be any method known in the art. For example, a secure transmission or predetermined sequence may be utilized.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention, network interface card 56 examines data packets for a data sequence that repeats client system 10's network address 16 times. Further, the shortest distance between client system 10 and remote computers 12 a–c is a known value. Referring now to
In yet another embodiment of the invention, the client system 10 stores multiple values to compare to the TTL. The multiple values account for the various paths which result in different distances from remote systems 12 a–c and client system 10. For example, a data packet originating at remote system 12 c that travels via routers 24 c to router 24 a to client system 10 has a path distance of 2, while a data packet originating at remote system 12 c that travels via router 24 c to router 24 b to router 24 a to client system 10 has a path distance of 3. Client system 10 checks the TTL to match either of the two possible paths.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that many of the fields in a data packet will include information that is not relevant for purposes of determining whether the packet should be processed by the client system. For example, the source address field that is present in most data packets is typically not of interest.
The present invention has been described in relation to particular embodiments which are intended in all respects to be illustrative rather than restrictive. Alternative embodiments will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains without departing from its spirit and scope. For example, although the present invention has been described in accordance with a remote computer in a power down mode, it will be appreciated that the systems and principles described herein may also be useful in a computer that is operating in full power mode by having the network interface card send an interrupt only when it receives a packet that the computer needs to process. Moreover, the present invention has been described in accordance with waking a personal computer. However, the design described herein equally applies to any other computers, servers, network peripherals or network servers. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing discussion.

BILOXI, Miss. – First lady Laura Bush (search) made her reality TV debut Tuesday, helping with a taping of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" in a sweltering community building as she toured hurricane relief sites on the Mississippi coast.
With hundreds of people crowded into the Biloxi Community Center, where a mountain of donated clothes covered a stage, Bush and Preston Sharp (search), a designer on the ABC-TV show, greeted storm victims and handed out donated items from big plastic bins.
"Extreme Makeover" usually remodels homes for needy people with compelling stories. It came to the coast to help distribute items donated for victims of Katrina, which displaced as many as 1 million people in Mississippi and Louisiana.
Later, with perspiration beading on her forehead under the blazing sun, Bush said she was encouraged by the way governments, private organizations, faith-based groups and individuals were helping ease the suffering after the Aug. 29 hurricane that killed at least 220 Mississippians and left major damage along the state's 90-mile coast.
"It's going to take all of these working together to help people rebuild their lives," she said.
Bush previously visited the Mississippi town of Poplarville with President Bush (search) to view damage. On Tuesday, she was struck by the extent of the devastation in Biloxi, where virtually every building was damaged and mounds of rubble lined streets waiting to be picked up.
"It really is heartbreaking," she said.
As she spoke, the president toured areas along the Louisiana-Texas border where Hurricane Rita (search) came ashore last weekend.
A spokeswoman for the first lady, Susan Whitson, said the "Extreme Makeover" segment featuring the first lady would likely air in early December.
Before Mrs. Bush entered the community center where the show was filming, a director shooed away both victims and volunteers from the doorway, instructing them how to react as her entourage entered.
"Act surprised!" he said above the din.

Friday 3rd December 2010
Imperial College London, has chosen Dyversity, Syngene's 2D gel imaging system, to assist in identifying the complex proteins associated with human diseases.
A tool for multi disciplinary research
In addition to multiplex imaging of 2D protein gels pre-labelled by Cy dyes, the Dyversity system, which has been fitted with precision made filters, UV and visible lighting modules, is being used by up to 200 scientists a year in the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at Imperial College to image 1D protein and DNA gels, as well as chemiluminescent blots stained with a range of visible, fluorescent and chemiluminescent dyes respectively.
Dr Judit Nagy, Research Scientist in Proteomics, Institute of Biomedical Engineering, explained: "When the Institute opened last year, we wanted to make sure that our core facilities would support all scientists in the institute and their multi disciplinary research. This meant that we needed an image acquisition system which could be used in a wide range of research projects to perform the most demanding 2D gel imaging, as well as the simplest gel documentation."
Why we chose Syngene
"Having evaluated four systems from major suppliers, we chose Dyversity because its functionality is equivalent to two imaging systems and a laser scanner, but in one unit. We are delighted to be the first site in the UK to have a Dyversity system," added Dr Nagy.

Multistage Stochastic Decision and Economic Processes
Economic and social phenomena develop over time, they are mostly influenced by random factors and, moreover, it is very often necessary to evaluate them simultaneously by several "objective" functions. Multistage stochastic programming problems, control Markov chains, empirical processes as well as stochastic multiobjective problems can serve to model them. We focus to cases that can be treated by multistage stochastic programming models with Markov type of dependence.

Vomiting is a normal, healthy function for dogs and cats. On occasion, pets eat things that do not agree with their stomachs or cats need to expel a hairball, and purging brings the body back into stasis, eliminating toxins within the stomach. This sort of sporadic vomiting is not cause for alarm; however, if vomiting is occurring on a regular basis, it could be indicative that something serious is wrong with your pet.
In determining if your pet has vomited and whether or not it is a serious health concern, you must first establish whether the hurling is vomit or regurgitation. Vomiting involves physical retching and heaving from the stomach, and the product expelled is fully digested and typically has a yellowish fluid (bile) present within it. Regurgitation is hacking from the throat, and the substance is not fully digested, remaining tubular in shape; usually you will see pieces of whatever your pet has swallowed within it. During regurgitation, a pet will lower their head and dismiss the food without a lot of effort. Regurgitation is often considered less serious than vomiting, though continual regurgitation and the inability to hold food down does indicate the need for immediate veterinary attention.
An interesting fact for pet owners! - Horses, rabbits, and rats are among the few pets that possess muscles around their esophagi that prevent them from vomiting.
Three stages of vomiting in pets
Pets need immediate veterinary care if they:
Any of these symptoms can signify serious illness including ulcers, kidney or liver failure, distemper, cancer, diabetes, poisoning, or Addison's disease.
Treatment for vomiting pets
Treatment for vomiting varies, depending on whether the vomiting is acute or chronic. Acute vomiting is vomiting that has occurred occasionally over a period of less than two weeks, whereas chronic vomiting has lasted frequently over a period of at least two weeks. During your pet's physical evaluation, the veterinarian will discuss which form of vomiting your pet has been exhibiting and will ask questions about symptoms, such as whether food or bile was present in the vomit. Blood tests can be performed to determine the functioning of the pancreas, liver, and kidneys and can also determine if there are any toxins in the bloodstream. Digital imaging can discover any foreign bodies that might be present in the stomach or intestines.
Treatment will ultimately depend on the cause of the veterinarian's findings and could range from medication to control vomiting to treatment for cancer if a tumor is found. Regardless of the diagnosis and treatment plan, pay close attention to your pet after treatment is implemented, and if any drastic changes occur, be sure to notify the veterinarian. Keep our office informed of any improvement or worsening of the condition, and follow-up with all appointments until the problem subsides.
Keep in mind that the following foods are harmful to most pets' digestive tracts and can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea:
If you have any questions about vomiting in pets, please contact our office.
Here is a testimonial from my husband and me:
On Valentine's Day in 2013, my husband and I received a call from our nephew saying one of our dogs had been beat up by two other dogs (possibly one of the neighbor's and our other dog). A friend suggested Memphis Animal Clinic because they had taken care of a few stray dogs she found by our school. We rushed our dog there, and Dr. Seratt was the vet that took care of us. Her bedside manner was impeccable. She explained things to us in terms that we could understand, and she kept our dog calm. The assistants were welcoming and calming (I was crying and my husband was so shaken he was filling out the wrong information on the intake sheet). Madison made a full recovery.
After this incident, we took our dogs to see Dr. Seratt whenever there was an emergency - our other dog Sasha also got into a fight and Dr. Seratt took good care of her. Another time, we found out that Madison had heart worms, so we took her to see Dr. Seratt after going to another vet that didn't have the bedside manner Dr. Seratt did. Madison feels like Memphis Animal Clinic is her second home now! She loves Dr. Seratt and Memphis Animal Clinic, and we do too!
Emily Taylor
Our airedale, Maizey went to y'all and when I got my new puppy I knew I would bring her to Memphis Animal Clinic too. Y'all loved Maizey as much as we did! Sadie and I saw Dr. Seratt to get her first set of puppy shots and she was great!

On Efficient Trading Mechanisms with Ex-Post Individually Rational Traders
This paper studies a bilateral trading setting where the two agents are not ex-ante identified, in the sense that each of them may end up being a net buyer or a net seller. We derive a sufficient condition that ensures the existence of an (ex-post) efficient, (ex-post) budget balanced, (interim) incentive compatible trading mechanism that always yields a positive net utility to all agents (ex-post individually rational). This result improves a former existence result based on interim individual rationality showing that the stronger requirement of ex-post individual rationality does not always rule out efficiency.

I wanted to see which pages were performing best. I used speedIndex as a measure for this, to test for page's visual parts being displayed.
So I started by limiting my scope to top Alexa rank of 1000, and within this scope find the top 10 pages with best speedIndex. This would become my Wall of Fame. Let's see this for the run of 1 Feb 2014:
select rank, url, renderStart, speedIndex, onLoad, PageSpeed from httparchive:runs.2014_02_01_pages
where rank < 100 order by speedIndex asc limit 10
The interesting bit is to observe other parameters:
As properties keep optimizing their pages constantly, it would be interesting to see the patterns of each of the above pages over time, and see if performance has improved or degraded over time.
If I'm not mistaken, a query like this...
select rank, url, renderStart, speedIndex, onLoad, PageSpeed from httparchive:runs.2014_05_15_pages where rank < 100 order by PageSpeed asc limit 100
...should show which of the 100 most popular sites (according to Alexa ranking when the data was gathered) offer the worst PageSpeed score.
Assuming each hasn't done so yet, if the sites on this list were to make some straightforward optimizations like enabling compression or leveraging browser caching they would reduce the largest amount of unnecessary data sent over the wire on the world wide web.
That is, this query should show a prioritized list of who most desperately needs some optimization evangelization, no?
Wow yes this is awesome! It's a real shame. Wikipedia is an awesome resource for the internet. What would it take to improve it's page speed? perhaps an article could be written where we do a code review for wikipedia
this is cool; but it seems since October-2015 there's no more PageSpeed field, 2015_09_15 seems to be the last one I can get PageSpeed scores, after that month the same query get null in PageSpeed; anyone knows why or have alternative fieldname?
rank < 100

Looking for suggestions for a restaurant for a low-key but festive birthday dinner this Wednesday. Given the current economy, we're going to save our fancy meal for a trip back to NY over New Year's, but we'd still like something fun.
Most important element is atmosphere - something cozy and comfortable but still bustling and convivial feeling. We like almost every cuisine, although for the purposes of this dinner preferably not Italian or old school French. There is flexibility as far as neighborhood, although within walking distance of Dolores Park is a definite perk. Price - really don't want more than $20/entree.
Thanks in advance!

Boeing Is Choking on Airbus' Fumes
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that something is shaking the core of the commercial-airplane business. Sure, terrorism, regional conflict, the SARS epidemic, and the sluggish economy have walloped the airline industry. But behind this turmoil, one trend remains constant: Airbus is emerging as the world's leading maker of commercial airplanes.
This year's Paris Air Show could mark a turning point in the balance of power between Airbus and Boeing Co. Simply put: Boeing is no longer winning the widebody wars -- a key measure of financial strength for a jetmaker. That has to be worrisome for the leaders of the commercial-airplane unit in Seattle, who could always count on winning the lion's share of the big-jet orders even if Airbus, which is based in Toulouse, France, sold more smaller ones. After all, Boeing invented widebody airplanes. It bet the company on the 747 jumbo jet and won big. Later, it added two popular twin-engine widebodies, the 230-seat 767 and the 300-seat 777.
But this impressive record isn't giving Boeing a lead in its latest race against Airbus. Just look at the numbers. By mid-June, Airbus had won 64% of this year's airplane orders -- 161, vs. 92 for Boeing, including firm orders and memoranda of understanding. But in total value, where it counts the most, Airbus' share is 76% of this year's orders, with list prices totaling about $26.7 billion versus only $8.2 billion for Boeing. If this lead holds up, it would be the third year in a row Airbus won not only more orders, but also more of the lucrative widebody variety. Says Airbus CEO Noël Forgeard: "Airbus is taking the lead in a market [that] was considered the home ground of our competitor."
As if to underscore Forgeard's point, Airbus landed one of the biggest sales at the air show. Persian Gulf airline Emirates plans to buy 41 Airbus aircraft in a deal valued at $12.5 billion. All the planes are widebodies -- 21 superjumbo A380s, 18 A340-600s, and two A340-500s. "We like the go-anywhere flexibility of the A340," said Emirates Chairman Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum. "We are excited by the economics and the ability to carry more passengers in the A380. In fact, we could use some right now."
Airbus enjoys several key advantages in widebodies. Its intermediate-size A330, which carries 200 to 250 passengers, has essentially killed off the Boeing 767 with its greater fuel efficiency and longer flying range. Another plus is Airbus' uniform cockpit design, which gives airlines greater scheduling flexibility as pilots shift easily from one model to another. "It lowers our operating costs," says CEO Richard Anderson of Northwest Airlines (NWAC ) Corp., which flies A320s and A330s.
Equally heartening for Airbus are its growing orders for the double-decker A380, set to begin flying in 2006. Airbus has booked 129 firm orders, about half the number it says it needs to sell to break even. By contrast, Boeing 747 sales have nearly dried up: The planes are now sold mainly to transport cargo.
Boeing thinks Airbus is discounting heavily. "Are we concerned about them getting orders? Yes," says Randy Baseler, Boeing's vice-president of marketing for commercial airplanes. "But we are more concerned about them overproducing and underpricing." But Airbus insists it makes money on every plane. No matter what, Boeing has to stay in the game, too. It persuaded Emirates to split its orders, giving Boeing lease and sales deals including the new long-range 777-300. At the Paris show, Korean Air also placed an order for nine Boeing widebodies. Boeing also is developing the superefficient, twin-aisle 7E7 Dreamliner, intended to grab back share from the A330 by cutting fuel and operating costs. "We're very positive about the 7E7," says Alan Mulally, CEO for Boeing Commercial Airplane Group in Seattle. "Economics are going to dominate the market."
But the 7E7 isn't expected to start flying until 2008. In the meantime, if Airbus pulls far ahead in widebodies, there's a risk Boeing's slip to No. 2 could become permanent. Airbus is sticking to its delivery forecast of 300 planes this year, more than Boeing's forecast 280. That would mark the first time Airbus has led Boeing in deliveries. Looks like Airbus is set to keep hogging the runway.

Executive Summary
The U.S. government owns nearly 3 Billion SF and 42 Million acres of real estate1 across the nation. In the past decade, a number of initiatives have been introduced in order to reduce the amount of under-utilized public sector properties and foster more sustainable real estate solutions, including the White House's "Campaign to Cut Waste" and the Office of Management and Budget's "Freeze the Footprint" policy.
This case study discusses how CenterPoint Properties partnered with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to develop the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) new National Security Complex in Kansas City, Missouri—an intricate project that not only reduced the Administration's space and energy footprint, but ultimately set a new standard for government real estate developments going forward.
Finding Creative Solutions to Meet Complex Government Property Needs
As early as 2010, the U.S. federal government has led the charge to improve its real estate management capabilities, eliminating excess properties and identifying new cost savings opportunities. A 2010 directive from the President pushed federal agencies to purge $8 Billion in real estate expenses by 2012.2 A 2011 Executive Order launched the "Campaign to Cut Waste," an initiative to help agencies reduce all forms of wasteful spending; in 2013, the Office of Management and Budget unveiled its "Freeze the Footprint" policy to better maintain agencies' square footage of office and warehouse space.3,4.
To comply with these new programs, many state and federal agencies are looking to dispose of or redevelop surplus real estate. Exemplifying this trend is the NNSA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Energy, which is responsible for the management and security of the nation's nuclear weapons, global nuclear nonproliferation and naval reactor programs, as well as other national security-related projects.
In 2007, the GSA issued a solicitation for offers to develop a new facility for the NNSA in Kansas City, MO, in hopes of replacing the NNSA's underutilized, inefficient space at the antiquated Bannister Federal Complex.
Over the past few years, the NNSA has pursued its own property realignment efforts through its "Complex 2030" initiative. The program, unveiled in 2007, is a strategic plan for modernizing the country's nuclear weapons complex, across the Administration's eight major US facilities.5 Through this program, the NNSA hopes to reduce the total square footage of the complex, consolidating its materials into safer, more efficient facilities.
Also in 2007, the U.S. General Services Administration announced a solicitation for offers to finance, develop and manage a new campus for the NNSA Kansas City Plant, which manufactures and procures nonnuclear components for nuclear weapons. Due to the highly sensitive nature of the NNSA's operations and scope of its facilities, any plans to develop a new property would need to accommodate more than 1 million detailed requirements, such as:
A New National Security Campus
In 2009, after a competitive bidding process, the GSA officially selected CenterPoint, in conjunction with Zimmer Real Estate Services in Kansas City, to design, build, own and operate the new NNSA National Security Campus.6 By 2010, construction was underway on the NNSA's five building, 1.5 Million square-foot complex.
Introducing A Modern Model
Construction on the NNSA's National Security Campus ended in late 2012, and by early 2013 the agency began relocating its staff of nearly 2,500 employees to the new complex. The $820 Million facility has since set new standards for government real estate efficiency and modernization on a number of fronts, such as:
Over the course of a few years, CenterPoint helped the NNSA bring its plans for a state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible campus to fruition. The new consolidated facility will save the government an estimated $100 Million in annual operating expenses.
Resetting the Bar
The NNSA's National Security Campus has become one of the first developments to align with the federal government's real estate savings and modernization goals. Partnering with CenterPoint, the NNSA not only supported its mission to transform its infrastructure into a 21st century nuclear security enterprise, but also pioneered a new model of efficiency for real estate developments throughout the U.S. government.
CenterPoint's on-time, under-budget delivery of this large scale, intricate project has recalibrated expectations for how these developments should be planned and executed. Due to the success of the National Security Campus assignment, CenterPoint was subsequently selected to lead demolition and cleanup efforts for the 5.1 Million square foot Bannister Federal Complex, which formerly housed the NNSA and other public sector agencies—ensuring that another piece of government property isn't forgotten or underutilized.
The NNSA initiative embodied the power of public-private collaborations done well, and has consequently paved the way for similar partnerships – and comparable success – in the future.

I am proud to add my to the list.He is 22 months and great company.
Re friday evening programme. Does anyone know the web or email adress for G.W.I would like to send an unusual photo
Re Friday evening program me as anyone the web address to send a photo of an unusable plants?
I am not sure what is happening at the moment. I have had flowers,but now the buds are not forming.A bud growns and drops off leaving the stem.
I have feed with tomato feed. The foliage is nice and green.I cannot see an insect.
In north cornwall we have had alot of rain and very little sunshine for about two weeks now.
Is it lack of sunshine?.Any idea please?
I have various roses around the garden which have always grown successfully. T his year on each plant the buds are either rotting or being eaten by something.
We have had no rain for about three weeks.
I have feed with a rose fertilizer and sprayed with Rose clear.
Has anyone any ideas please.
I much prefer Monty at longmeadow rather than Chelsea. This year to many presenters talking about the same gardens and growers.Surely there is alot more to discuss
When i moved into my house 10 years ago i had a beautiful wisteria growing up a pergola .After a couple of years due to a strong cold wind coming off of the sea sadly it died(or so i thought).
For three years i have had leaves but no flowers. Much to my surprise,after climbing a ladder i have three small individual flowers . Only at the top so they can be seen from a window.
I have been at the point of removing it and planting again.
To all beginners of gardening be patience dont be disappointed if your plant hasn't flowered the first year.
It is the start of CHELSEA on Monday .Enjoy you can always learn something new.
Can anyone recon-med which variety to plant for a hedge.Full sun in a gravel base.
We are having a lovely sunny spell at the moment. In the greenhouse the temperature is in the 60-70. After chatting to you i think i will leave them just in case i stress them. Maybe it is just some more heat that they need. I will let you know the outcome. Thanks again
Sorry Pete 8 i having a problem in sending the photos.

Post Emailed To Dinar Recaps
Sent From RHW Redheadedwitch
Subject: Security Pre & Post CE!!!
I agree with what was posted earlier today by the other person that has a background in the security field.
I also am in security. Although I don't work with musicians, athletes, movie "stars", politicians etc; I believe there are some points that may (or may not) have been previously suggested.
I work to help keep 1 port city secure by working on the ocean going cargo vessels secure, and the merchant seamen, (from countries A-Z), that the US Coast Guard doesn't want on US soil, onboard their respective vessels.
The areas I want to bring up are these:
1) When this goes live, call the 1-800 #'s (If you are in a group), if not call the bank you want to deal with (do the exchange at), talk to their foreign currency department. At this point, I would have my phone number changed, all of them, once you make the appt.
I see no reason to get a separate phone to make the call and throw it away. (Waste of money). Write down your New number. (Advising to do exchange in a town/city that you aren't known in!) Make your appointment for a day or two after this call.
The reason being, so you can scout out the address, and won't have to "figure" out where it's actually located at, and risk being late.
2) Consider driving yourself to within a mile or two of the actual location. Park your vehicle at a mall (Wal-Mart) or something with a large parking lot. Call a local cab service to take you to the bank. Get the drivers card (or cell #, "if" you feel comfortable with him/her) for return ride to your car.
Be extremely early (in case it takes a while for the cab to come get you, and unforseen obstacles such as time of day & traffic conditions.) That way you can't be traced by your license plate back to your physical address, by thieves/con men/scam artists, that will be in/around large banking centers, when this does happen. Yes, we May actually be speaking to these people in chat rooms/Facebook/Twitter, etc.
3) Dress/act professionally. Smile.
4) Be polite, treat these people with dignity & respect. These people may be in a bad mood because they were told this was/is a scam, they may Have also been told that they could not invest themselves (or risk losing their jobs.)
So they may be resentful of all of us that took this chance. Remember to smile, shake their hands, act with dignity. (If you have no idea on how to do that, "Google" the how to be a courteous professional.
5) Bring a local tax attorney with you to read the fine print, you should be able to pay them after the fact with the money you actually leave the bank with, I'd suggest $1,000/person.
6) Have the PB/WM explain the NDA to you, make sure you understand the explanation. Have the attorney read & explain "ALL" documents to you, make sure that you understand the explanations given.
If you don't, ask for clarification of explanations. Don't act like you know everything. Ask, then ask again for explanations that don't make sense to you.
7) Ask if you (or attorney) can make changes to the legal paperwork. If not allowed, say "thank you for your time, but I will take my business elsewhere, that will allow changes to be made". (I highly doubt that you will get out of the door), but DO NOT under any circumstances start acting like an ignorant ***!!!
8) Remember to watch them verify that your currency is real RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!!!
9) REMEMBER: KEEP ALL CURRENCIES IN SEPERATE ACCOUNTS IN CASE OF TAXES. ALSO USE THIS TERM: "(CURRENCY EXCHANGE)", not cash out.
10) Sweep the original deposits into secondary sweep accounts: put these restrictions on the accounts: RESTRICTED ACCESS; NON TRAINING ACCOUNT; NO-ONE HAS CONTROL OF THESE ACCOUNTS BUT YOU.
Also A PAYABLE UPON DEATH TAG!!! This WAY it does not become part of your estate (so the lawyers can't spend it while claiming they used the money to get your wills through the probate courts.
11) Make sure the FINCEN FORM (forgot the form number) is CORRECTLY FILLED OUT. ESPECIALLY THE LINE ABOUT "IS THIS AN INVESTMENT? NO!!"
12) Discuss the amount of the exchange rate, see if the bank can waive it, if you keep a certain amount in that bank (AUM=ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT). Discuss any other perks that interest you. Such as medical/life/vision/dental/accidental death & dismemberment insurance on you & your children.
Also Ask If they have classes that can teach you & your children how to manage/save/& invest this type of money, that they pay for. Also ask if they can set you up with something like NetHer, so you don't have to go buy a plane that you will have to keep insured/stored (when not in use), not to mention the crews, maintenance, and fuels!!!
Also what sports type tickets can they get you as a valued member of their bank?
If you decide not to move post CE (get ransom insurance on yourself & family members), especially if you can't/don't/won't keep your mouth shut & live under the radar. "Millionaire next door (suggested read.)
Tell them what you would like them (the bank) to do for you!!! If they respond in a negative manner, be polite, stand up, and explain that the answer is not satisfactory to you that you can take your business elsewhere.
13) Decide what types of accounts you'll need temporarily, get any bank checks to get yourself out of immediate debt. Get a bank check for yourself, get several to deposit in banks that are local to where you live. Set up a third set (if you have more than 1 currency.
Use this as your tax fund (1 for each currency, put 50% in each of these accounts. DO NOT EVER TOUCH THESE!!! Till we know the tax implications.
14) Get all receipts, signed by the person (WM/PB) that you are dealing with, and the bank manager/president.
15) Ask for business cards, ask to set up an appointment with a WM team (hopefully supplied by bank), until you can interview and hire your own professionals.
16) I'm intending on setting up a trust with my own professionals, different from the one I will set up at the initial appointment. Set up a trust that contains all the NEW differnt accounts, after the CE. Make sure that all these accounts can go into one trust.
17) I fully intend to move within 6 months after CE, if I can find 20+ acres. Before I do any of that, I am going to get a mailbox @ my local UPS/FEDEX stores, So no mail concerning this opportunity, can be traced back to my physical address.
18) Make up/invent/elaborate some kind of explanation on how you came into this new money. My story is Dad had a life insurance policy for each child/grandchild.
Coach toddlers (school age & up) to NOT EVER DISCUSS MONEY WITH FRIENDS, IN PUBLIC, NEVER ADVERTISE THAT THEIR MOMMY/DADDY (WHOEVER IS RAISING THEM IS RICH), explain that you do not speak of this because A) its nobodies business; B) safety precaution.
19) If building a New home, consider the following to be built into them: a safe room, with eye scan access only, a serious safe (bolted into the slab of the house); and a smaller safe into each bedroom of the house that only family member using that room has access to.
Also, (if applicable) building an elderly/disabled friendly bathroom on the gground floo, if having a parent/disaed person living with you afterwards. If remodeling existing homes, see if the previous ideas can be incorporated into the remodeling.
20) Get all medically needed, life altering surgeries such as: back, knees, hips, dental surgeries taken care of.
21) Because I'm intending to buy property and build me my first owned home, I'm going to be the new woman in town (so I will attract attention anyway), but I'm not going to go everywhere (anywhere) via limo, so I won't be noticeable because I'm flaunting my money.
However, I will be upgrading my vehicle to an Infiniti q60, so I have already bought a dashboard camera. I also will install cameras in/on the house after it is built, having it toed into a computer (on WiFi) that will be just for that reason. Because I will have acreage, I will also have game type cameras throughout the property. I intend on giving one friend the current vehicle I drive, after I pay it off, and get the title changed.
22) Everyone in my family will take self defense (martial arts/gun training) after the CE. I'm trying to prepare my family to be proactive in their own safety. I just have to get somebody to figure out how far my Mother's body can take being trained to defend herself.
23) Anyone coming in contact with my family will have to go through a background check, because of my minor child.
24) Use your financial advisors to tell people NO, that you aren't going to invest in this idea, that business, bailing them out of debt. Helping a person once is great, but doing it repeatedly will bankrupt you very soon. It also does not help the irresponsible person, that continually asks for your financial help.
I have never posted an open letter on Dinar Recaps, I do hope they will post this. Its one security person's ideas on how to keep ones self and family safe in a world that is dangerous (now) & will become even more so, once people realize that you are now wealthier than they are.
God bless everyone, stay safe, get street smart (security-wise),financially smart for investing and growing your blessings. Donate or tithe (anonymously), so these people/groups don't keep harassing you for even more money.
Have your financial advisors (that you hire) research the hell out of the groups you do donate/tithe to, before donating, to make sure that the most of your donations go to where its needed (towards the animals; if donating to the SPCA/ or to children @ children's hospitals/st. Jude's/the wounded warriors, instead of the president/COO/CEO of these foundations, to help expand their lavish lifestyles.
Also have them research the churches (especially if they are these televangelists that live in multi-million/billion dollar homes!!!!
I wish everyone the best, hope you learn how to physically/financially/mentally protect yourselves and your families with the sudden change in familial finances.
I also pray that none of US end up with the "lottery-winners syndrome" and end up broke in 3 years. Love all of you, PEACE OUT!!! Thank You Dinar Recaps for posting all the information/ideas/rumors/Intel/protection ideas for all these years.
Thanks also to everyone that has selflessly read and translated all the information they could get their hands on, taking away precious & beautiful time from your families; to keep us all informed & educated through this process. You are all beautiful, loving, generous souls. Thank you is JUST NOT ENOUGH!!! RHW
The FINCEN Form 112 (formerly 104) is the Currency Transaction Report...Make sure you check off Box 33 in SEC II as a CURRENCY EXCHANGE and not investment. As far as getting 20 acres is concerned...go for 200 if you have that much after the exchange. You won't believe the security camera set up's they have now. Just remember to stockpile everything you'll need for at least a 6 month time period in case the worst happens. First thing I'll do is MOVE away from where I'm at and cancel all cell phone services, have mail forwarding to a mail service to send to me...then take care of all the goodies.

You are all welcome, I'm just trying to pay it forward, as much as I can, @ this point!! I'm just making observational facts from 10 yrs in the security field. *****The most important thing I FORGOT TO MENTION****** IS "(ALWAYS)" HAVE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS, OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS, USE YOUR EYES, EARS, NOSE, SENSE OF SMELL, YOUR INTUITION, YOUR GUT FEELINGS," learn to be able to recognize who Is carrying a concealed weapon, & most importantly the WHERE & HOW its being carried. If it a legally concealed weapon, "(IF)" you see anything, it will most likely be the outline of a holster, because to get a concealed permit, you have to take class/classes, on GUN SAFETY while carrying/cleaning/usage/storage; as well as the laws pertaining to this subject.
12/25/2015 04:44:53 pm
Need clarity re not checking this is an investment. If the goal is capital gains rate then Captal Gains implies an investment which now is realized and the Capital Gains rate is applied to the profit. If you say this is an exchange and NOT an investment can the IRS later say this profit is subject to ordinary income and not capital gains?

RHW Redheadedwitch, looks like you really have got your head on straight! Keep it that way. A few tips.... .....I noticed you have plans for an Infinity Q60. I just read today from Consumers Report that is one of the vehicles they say to avoid. Get a subscription so you can keep up with whats given people problems and which haven't. CR does not allow anyone or company to give them anything to test. They go out and buy each product just like you and I do, so no bias! On self-defense and handling a gun, I suggest you take a look at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in Nevada. My wife and I both have attended their 4-day defense handgun course. It is great. They also offer self defense courses. Last thing......hire yourself a lawyer that is trained in trust funds and taxes. Make sure he is rated in Martindale & Hubble. It is the who's who of attorneys! His credentials will be in the M&H book. It's on line also. I also recommend at least 80-100 acres. Take a look at Tenn.
As for the difference of exchange and investment.....I tend to think that if an IRS agent looks at my little checked box of "exchange" they will ask "Oh, did you have reservations to go to Iraq? You didnt, so you bought this to make money especially after holding onto it for 5 years which tells me I need to move the check mark over to Investment, ok, whats next?"
12/25/2015 09:53:45 pm
just curious ....WHat is a q60 INfinity.........I ramble around in 1977 Toyota 2WD truck and a 85 Toyota 4x4 for winter. Never been in a limo - got no reason to be in one now....

This Blogger Is On Blog Leave
Last time I went on a blog leave was last July and even then, it was a short break too just like now but it was something my mind begged so I could recharge and enjoy my time with my daughter. This time it's the whole family.
We are visting some relatives again in New York and we just love that place! The weather is cool and inviting, there are lots of goodies on sale and the autumn foliage is starting to show its wonderful hues. Besides those wonderful stuff, I kind of miss Shake Shack and Century 21!
So, if I will comment and visit your blogs on Nov.

USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
- If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
- If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
