ARIZONA - FS Proposing Changes to Safford Ranger District Motorized Travel System
ARIZONA - FS Proposing Changes to Safford Ranger District Motorized Travel System
The Coronado National Forest, located in southeastern Arizona, is proposing changes to the motorized transportation system on the Safford Ranger District. The system that is currently in place was originally established according to direction in the Coronado National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (Forest Plan; 1986, as amended).
The first step in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process is "scoping", during which the public is asked to help identify issues, concerns and reasonable alternatives to the proposed action. Comments received during scoping will be reviewed and used by Forest resource specialists to analyze project effects, and as necessary, to develop mitigation measures, issues and alternatives. Other opportunities for public involvement in the NEPA process will be offered by future meetings and document reviews.
Maps showing the proposed changes are available for public review at the District Office in Safford (address below), at the Forest Supervisor's Office in Tucson (300 West Congress Street), and on the Forest's public website at www.fs.fed.us/nepa/nepa_project_exp.php?project=36561.
Comments should be submitted by February 16, 2012. Written comments may be sent by U.S. mail to Mr. Buddy Zale, Travel Management Project Leader, Safford Ranger District, 711 S. 14th St., Safford, AZ 85546; by facsimile to (928) 428-2393, ATTN: Safford Travel Management NEPA; and by email to firstname.lastname@example.com with "Safford Travel Management NEPA" in the subject line. Email comments may be sent in the body of the message, in rich text format (.rtf) or in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx). Please direct telephone comments to Mr. Zale at (928) 348-1972.
Comments may also be submitted electronically through the Coronado National Forest's website at www.fs.fed.us/nepa/nepa_project_exp.php?project=36561. To do this, select "Comment on Project" in the blue "Get Connected" box. At the same location, you may also elect to receive electronic updates about this project by selecting the "Subscribe to Email Updates" link.
As part of this scoping process, the Forest Service will host open-house meetings in Tucson and Safford, Arizona. Comment forms will be available at these meetings, which everyone is welcome to attend. Notices of the times and places of these open houses will be posted on the Forest public web site at www.fs.fed.us/r3/coronado and in the Tucson and Safford local newspapers.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact BRC.
Thanks in advance for your support,

Ethiopia: Political and Security Impact of the Drought I I
ie."Jmrrf i- "perl
continuini drought has presented the Mengisiu regimeuman crisis of monumental proportions. Hundreds of thousand! of peasants from Ethiopia's northern regions diednd ai leasl as many are expected to die from famine-related causes this year,assive outpouring of aid from ihe iniemaiional communily. Eslimaies of peopte at risk probably will rise by midyear. To ibe estent (his occurs, more pressure will be placed on aid donors to increase the earning level of effort.was itself based in part on earlier Ethiopian rejections.
In our rudiment, ihc crisis has not yet underminedmilitary power base, and the stability of hb regime does not appear seriously threatened thus far. Mengisiu. tvevertheless. is almost certainly mindful of th: role famine played in the overthrow of his predecessor, Haik Selassie, and concerned over potential challenges to his rule. He has attempted to shield his vital miliury and urban constituencies from (he full effecis of the drought, while monitoring both closely fot signs of disconieni.
Mengisiu. in facl, has attempted to use the famine to strengthen 'position, especially in the longstanding conflict with the Erilrean and Tigrean insurgents. He reives on iniemaiional donors to support the rural population in government-controlled areas of the north but vehemently opposes all efforts lo provide aid to the drought victims in regions held by the insurgents. At the same lime, he is trying to moveillionfrom the contested northern regions to western and central Ethiopia. His stated raiiosuk of relocating peasants from iheir devastated homeland to more fenik lowland areas has some merit, but his coercive tactics emphasize his polilical intent lo undercut the dissidents' base of support and perhaps hasten colleciiviralion of agriculture. The prog ram, however,wo-edged sword.ecure resettlement program would hurt the rebel cause by disrupting its support base, tbe insurgents are likily lo Iry to rally support by playing lo the popular opposition stirred up by the prospect of forced resettlement.
Nowhere have the polilical and security aspects of ihe drought been more obvious lhan in ihe issue of cross-border feeding operations byorganisations. Wc believe Mengisiu is prepared lo use military force to disrupt the Row of food from Sudan to the rebel-held northern areas, as welt as to stem ihe lide of refugees inlo Sudanese relief camps; indeed, both these flows have been exploited by the rebels to sustain theirby feeding their people and recruiting among the refugees From the
insurgents' viewpoint, any diversion of these Sovu would hamper Iheir miliury capabilities Dei pile lhc poieniial for both government and rcbel-ini listed flsrrups of ihe fighting in Che norih. however, wc believe the military tiluaiion there ia unlikely to change dramatically
So far. ibe srorsl famine-related reobkems have beca limitedural areas where Mengius cava play off coodtuora in government-urgent controHed areat at tttk cos: to hbe The intensify! sg feeders ewer the corning (tar. howcer ikely to head to worsening food shortages ibe cites, forciai the government to adopt more win gem austerity measure* lhat could affect Mengistu's political bate Wc believe the urban populaUon probably will idjuit iloically to increasing hardline, but, if civil disturbance! occur, theoil certainly will turn la Ihe army fnr luppOrt.
We believe lhat Mangitiu probably willhe unit politically, mi rainedombination of Western humanitarian assistance and Soviet military and security aid and supported by ha. own military and scCar.tyndeed, Mcngisii will remain dearly tasd to the USSR, despite itsconomic poiscies. since be perceives Moscow's miliary sirpport aswn survival AChoogh the United Slates and other Western donors have poured in enormous amounts of aid, reailions between the West ami Ethiopia are unlikely to improve significantly. In the case of the Untied States, tensions with lhc regime over aid to the notth al-rnosi certainly will increase and are likely to leadurther deterioration in relations. Mengiltu views the United States us his main threat and is convinced ihai Washington nol only directly supports lhc rebels, but alto encourages umilar assists neehem by Sudan and Somali*.
Despite Moscow's broad prsliticaI-military commitment to tbe Maraeii Mengistu regime, ike Soviets have aot come forwardccxsocrc asaisrince to. probably because ihey believe Western willingness to foot the bill will not alter Ethiopia's military and pohiiealon Mcaeow The minima.

Wc believe the Soviets harbor some concern that Wesiern generality could undermine Utcil position, and are encouraging Mengistu's deep suspkrons of US motives in supplying aid.

The Color of Earth by Kim Dong Hwa, translated by Lauren Na
The Story of Life on the Golden Fields Vol. 1
Pages: 319 pgs.
Ages: 16+
First Published: (Apr. 2009 Eng. trans) (2003 orig. Korean)
Rating: 4.5/5
First sentence:
"Golly! Them beetles are matin'."
Reason for Reading: Cybils nominee.
Summary: This is the story of two women, one a little and the other her young widowed mother. The story focuses on the little girl and her awakening identity as a woman, and also as a side story is her mother who finds love again for the first time since her husband's death. As the back of my book says "first love and second chances."
Comments: This first book in a trilogy follows the little girl from the age of about six to fourteen. It takes place in a small Korean village in a time period unknown, with the only clue to placing it somewhere in the 20th century being a steam or coal engine train. Now, I'll start off by saying this is not the type of book I would normally read *at all*. I am much too conservative to even want to read a book that has the words "s*xual awakening" on the front flap but doing my job as a Cybils panelist I reluctantly set down to give the book a chance.
I can't quite know how to say just how beautiful a story this was. A little girl's curiosity about her body, the difference between boys and girls, grown-up things she over hears and how she goes straight to her mother with her questions and confusion is a tender love story in itself. The mother/daughter relationship presented here is truly touching and really the backbone of this volume. For those wanting a plot there really isn't any. We are touched by the maternal relationship and watch as each of them separately experiences womanhood. The little girl's experiences of finding our about her body, how it's different than a boys, her first period and her first crush on a boy, who is studying to be a monk, are all respectfully portrayed. The mother, who is young and beautiful, suddenly finds that love for a man can touch her heart again when she falls in love with a traveling artist who keeps returning to visit her. There are a couple of incidents in the book that I could have done without but for the most part the material is presented in a decent way, making for a truly touching story.
I also really enjoyed the artwork. The is the first time I've read Korean manga which is called manhwa. I'm not a huge fan of manga artwork as I hate the horrible fake over expressive faces and how all the men look like girls. But this book was not drawn that way at all, aside from the occasional great big mouth to show extreme emotions all the artwork is very realistic and the detailed background scenery in many frames is lovely. The men aslo look like men. I wonder if this is typical of Korean manhwa or just this particular artist's style.
I've fallen for Ewha, the little girl, and I'll be reading the next book for sure. Though I won't commit any further as I'll have to see if the story remains within my boundaries as she gets older. This book, The Color of Earth, is not going to be for everyone but if the topic interests you and you are comfortable with the subject matter then I hope you find the story as touching as I did. I'll end with a lovely little quote the girl says to herself near the end of the book:
Because I asked something I shouldn't have asked. I heard what I shouldn't have heard. And because I went where I shouldn't have gone, I saw what I shouldn't have seen. How will my young heart cope with all that I've heard and seen?

MicrocapResearch.com emailed and tweeted a trading alert on Sorrento Therapeutics (NasdaqCM: SRNE) at market open on 12/24 at $8.60. We believe Sorrento Therapeutics has serious potential to make strong gains in 2015 for reasons discussed in this article.
Company Overview
Founded in 2006, Sorrento Therapeutics (web site) is based in San Diego, California and focuses on the discovery, development, and commercialization of proprietary pharmaceuticals internationally for the treatment of several forms of cancer and auto-immune diseases as well as intractable pain in end-stage disease. Sorrento's lead product, Cynviloq, is currently approved and marketed in various countries, including South Korea, for metastatic breast cancer (MBC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and ovarian cancer under the trade name Genexol-PM. Cynviloq has also completed Phase I or III trials for MBC, and Phase I or II trials in NSCLC, Ovarian, Bladder, and Pancreatic cancers. Resiniferatoxin, a non-opiate, ultra potent drug for intractable pain in end-stage disease is also under development. Sorrento Therapeutics is also developing antibody drug conjugates and recombinant intravenous immunoglobulin (rIVIG) for the treatment of certain auto-immune diseases, as well as immunodeficiencies.
Sorrento also notes in their Q3 filing:
"Through September 30, 2014, we have identified and further developed a number of potential drug product candidates across various therapeutic areas, and intend to select several lead product candidates to further advance into preclinical development activities in 2014 and 2015."
Share Structure
Shares Outstanding: 36.1 million as of the 12/22/2014 Schedule 13D, which includes the shares from a $40 million investment by Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong for a 20% stake in the company.
Market Cap: ~ $345 million
Public Float: 18-20 million, depending on source
(click to enlarge)
Sources: SEC filings, Nasdaq.com, and Fidelity Investments
New Joint Venture and Key Investor Bring Strong Upside Potential in 2015
In the last 10 days, Sorrento Therapeutics made three major announcements regarding their direction in 2015:
- The 12/15/2014 announcement of "The Immunotherapy Antibody" joint venture with privately held NantWorks Inc. and its founder, physician scientist, and biotechnology entrepreneur Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong. Dr. Soon-Shiong has provided 20 million in "initial" funding and now owns 20% of Sorrento Therapeutics at a purchase price of $5.80/share. The JV will accelerate development of multiple immuno-oncology monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for the treatment of cancer
- The 12/19/2014 announcement of collaboration with privately held Conkwest Inc. (web site) to develop "Next Generation Cancer Immunotherapy"
- The 12/24/2014 announcement of a $48 million investment by Dr. Soon-Shiong in Conkwest Inc.
Sorrento Therapeutics is also purchasing $2 million in class A common stock in Conkwest Inc. as part of the transaction
Who is Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong?
For starters, he:
- Founded Abraxis BioScience and developed Abraxane, a blockbuster drug approved for use in liver, lung, pancreatic, and breast cancers. Dr. Soon-Shiong sold Abraxis BioScience to Celgene for $2.9 billion in 2010
- Founded American Pharmaceutical Partners which he sold to Fresenius SE for $5.6 billion in 2008
- Has a net worth estimated at $13 billion (Forbes), is the wealthiest American in the healthcare industry, and the wealthiest man in Los Angeles
- Is a pioneer in genomics and immunotherapy drug research, drugs that stimulate our immune systems to work harder or smarter to attack cancer cells
Dr. Soon-Shiong in November of this year, San Diego News
Dr. Soon-Shiong "Disrupting Cancer". 60 Minutes, December 7, 2014
The market for new immunotherapy treatments for cancer was estimated at $35 billion annually by Citigroup last year. Obviously, the "Immunotherapy Antibody Joint Venture" announced between Sorrento Therapeutics and Dr. Soon-Shiong's NantWorks Inc. and the Sorrento-Nantomics-Conkwest collaboration is aimed squarely at this segment.
Dr. Soon-Shiong stated:
"Immunotherapy is one of the most powerful next-generation platforms added to our war against cancer. Integration of Nantomics advanced proteomics platform with the power of Sorrento's fully human antibody libraries and Conkwest's natural killer cell-lines is expected to enable an approach to attack tumors and their micro-metastases in a manner never before addressed."
Strong Balance Sheet
Sorrento Therapeutics reported current assets of $45.8 million vs. current liabilities of $8.7 million as of the September 30th Q3 filing.
- Q3 cash balance of $44.3 million has been increased with the additional$40 million in funding by Dr. Soon-Shiong just announced
- Dr. Soon-Shiong's investment in Sorrento Therapeutics has been called "initial joint funding" and an "initial joint venture"- strongly suggesting there's more to come
- The potential for a massively dilutive financing at poor terms for current shareholders seems remote given Dr. Soon-Shiong's personal wealth and investment in the company
Analyst Mean Price Target of $17/share Likely to Increase
Sorrento Therapeutics is rapidly growing from a microcap into a small cap company. There are currently 4 analysts following Sorrento, all with buy recommendations.
|Price Target Summary
|Mean Target:
|Median Target:
|High Target:
|Low Target:
|No. of Brokers:
Source: Yahoo Finance
Zacks Small Cap Research increased their price target on Sorrento Therapeutics to $18/share on December 15. The price targets in the table above were made prior to the materially significant news of the last 10 days and I expect them to be revised upward as well.
Zacks (see release) points out the following positives from the Sorrento/Natworks JV:
Expect a Jump in Institutional Participation
Sorrento Therapeutics had a healthy 39% institutional ownership as of 9/30/14 (see table above) and I expect that level is increasing now. With a relatively small float of 18-20 million shares, this could easily keep momentum to the upside…but due to the smallish float investors should expect and be prepared for volatility. There doesn't appear to be a meaningful short position in the stock at present.
The 1 month chart for Sorrento Therapeutics is a thing of beauty. Following the high volume breakout earlier this month, there were a few days of lower volume sideways trading. Then, during the holiday-shortened 12/24 trading day, shares gained another 11.5% on heavier volume. It's noteworthy that the initial move in Sorrento shares was made during the biggest weekly decline in two years for the broader market.
Momentum and money flow show an uptick on 12/24 and could be signaling the start of another leg up.
There is some resistance at around $11 on the 12 month chart.
The Bottom Line
I believe Sorrento Therapeutics is a strong buy here and a gain of 50% from current prices over the next 6 months is a reasonable, if not conservative expectation. Short term/active traders may want to see a breakout above $11 resistance before jumping in.

dhcpd is the Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server
# pacman -S dhcpd
Directly connecting another computer
Read if you are directly connecting your Arch computer to another host (e.g. over ethernet), and want the other computer to have its IP automatically assigned.
Assign an IPv4 address to the interface you want to use (usually Template:Codeline). The first 3 bytes of this address cannot be exactly the same as those of another interface.
# ifconfig eth0 126.96.36.199 # arbitrary address
The default dhcpd.conf contains many uncommented examples, so relocate it
# mv /etc/dhcpd.conf /etc/dhcpd.conf.example
Edit Template:Filename to contain
subnet 184.108.40.206 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 220.127.116.11 188.8.131.52; }
Start the daemon
# /etc/rc.d/
Now, any computer you connect over ethernet will be assigned an IPv4 address (184.108.40.206 in this example).
You will see configuration files, etc. related to Template:Codeline. This is the DHCP client executable and has nothing to do with Template:Codeline.

We were awakened by an unusual sound
As we were alerted to head for higher ground
We awaited the potential Tsunami's force
While perched on a hilltop golf course
A better refuge could not be found
The wave has come without fuss
Leaving only a memory that time will not muss
We give thanks for our fate
As we'll mark down this date
As the day the ocean almost visited us
So much for a restful Saturday... We were awakened by Tsunami Sirens at 6:00 AM and Mainland phone calls from friends and family alerting us to the potential for a Tsunami to hit the Islands around 11:30 AM local time. An 8.8 magnitude earthquake had hit 200 miles south of Santiago, Chile and generated a potential tsunami. Sixty years ago a 9.5 quake hit the same area and generated a wave that killed 1100 on Hilo, so everyone is being cautious. We decided to head to Kaleheo and parked at the community golf course with a view overlooking the ocean 947 feet above sea level. It turned into a community picnic as everyone brought out blankets and chairs and watched the horizon. We had bathroom and restaurant facilities and a great vantage point, so it was an ideal spot to "ride out the storm"
For our book club, I've been reading a "spiritual" memoir by a Eugene author, called "Rolling Around Heaven" and it seemed appropriate to sit in my sand chair facing the ocean to watch. I went up to the clubhouse for a slightly better vantage point out of the sun and worked on my blog since I figured this might generate more interest. I was tempted to pass time on the golf course but when they started landing helicopters on the first fairway, I retreated to my book. The event passed with only minor surges of a few feet on the other islands, so we headed back home around 2:00 PM so everyone could rest up from our "Waiting for the Flow" event. I had intended laundry to be my most exciting activity for Saturday and finally sudsed up around 5:00 PM. Dinner is slated to be shrimp and pork and corn with card playing in the evening. We're hopeing for uneventful slumber tonight. Stay tuned....

PlatinumHD.tv Is Pushing The Boundaries Again – Selling Property With Sex
September 19th, 2014
One thing you can always depend on is our mates at PlatinumHD.tv will always be pushing all the boundaries! They are at it again with this mobile formatted property video that features Australian bombshell Allira Cohrs.
They are obviously pushing the technical boundaries with this video. Brett Clements says:
First job on the RED Dragon. With a few shots from the C300. Shot for mobile devices. Turned the camera on its side. And we cut it in portrait and we are streaming it in portrait, using our new transcoder. The Dragon's colour science is stunning!!
While many will think that Allira's "assets" divert too much attention from the property, Brett and his crew have shown several times before that sex sells upper-end property (at least in on the Australian Gold Coast).
Brett and his team have even managed to get Inman news to do a poll on whether or not this approach does more harm that good. About 1 in 4 Inman readers (26%) thought that the video may do more harm than good. I guess you'll just have to watch the video and decide for yourself!
