A new port of entry is being developed in Otay Mesa just a couple of miles east of the existing Otay Mesa Port of Entry. This project also includes a new highway connection -State Route 11-which will connect to State Route-905. The new port will be managed by a toll system and will include expedited services in both the commercial and passenger lanes. This innovative project supported by the entire region should be operational by 2015.

Plans Under Way for Innovative Bus Rapid Transit System in Otay Mesa
A modern regional transit system that will provide an alternative to personal cars will soon come online in the eastern part of the South Bay, providing residents with rapid and reliable access to work and activity centers in a region of San Diego County currently underserved by public transportation.
The South Bay Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system will provide high-frequency transit service that links the Otay Mesa border crossing to downtown San Diego via eastern Chula Vista. It will serve major activity and employment centers in San Diego and the South Bay and provide direct access to destinations such as the Otay Ranch Town Center.

INFORMATION
El grupo desarrollador inmobiliario repersentado por el Arq. Jorge Calderón Trueba, denominado "Tierra Café", han formalizado una alianza con el ejido "El Sargento y su Anexo La Ventana" mediante un fideicomiso el cual se firmará el próximo 2o de julio del año en curso, fungiendo como testigo El Procurador Agrario Rocendo González Patiño.
El presidente del Comiariado Ejidal Joaquín E. León Avilés, fué invitado a participar en una conferencia de prensa en la cd. de México en donde se detallaron los avances del programa FIPP dentro del cual se enmarca esta prometedora alianza entre ejidatarios e inversionistas.
también acudieron dos jóvenes profesionistas del ejido a ser testigos de los nuevos tiempos donde se pretende que al fin tengamos un desarrollo sustentable. Adelaida cota y Adrían Avilés estuvieron presentes en mencionado acto.
Necesitamos crear confianza en nuestra comunidad, ya que a la fecha, ningún beneficio hemos obtenido, a pesar de que un gran número de Hectáreas ya se han negociado.
La verdad, que únicamente hemos sido objeto de burla de quienes pretenden "desarrollar" estta zona y se han convertido en Especuladores.
Hoy queremos tener la confianza en quienes nos representan y que buscan beneficios a nivel comunidad.

Netflix Is Coming to Latin America
Hi, Jessie Becker, VP of Marketing here. We're excited to share with you the news that later this year, Netflix will expand to 43 countries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, offering unlimited TV shows and movies streaming instantly over the Internet to TVs and computers for one low monthly subscription price.
Netflix members in the U.S. and Canada have really taken to watching instantly and we feel great about being able to offer the same combination of convenience, choice and value to people in Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean.
Members in the region will be able to access Netflix.com in Spanish, Portuguese or English, depending on their preference, and will be able to enjoy entertainment on their TVs via a range of consumer electronics devices capable of streaming from Netflix, as well as on PCs, Macs and mobile devices.
We'll keep you posted on the dates when we plan to expand in the region and hope you'll spread the word that Netflix will soon be accessible throughout the Americas! Meantime, if you'd like to sign up for the Latin America service, go to www.netflix.com and leave your info; we'll send an email reminder when the service launches.

electric rates...
I have finally deciphered the way CFE does the electric bills. I saw a friends bill in LaPaz and realized something was just not the same as ours. Here is how it is done. http://www.la-ventana.info/t321-cfe-electric-rates
Now, this negatively affects us in LaVentana in the two transition bills from summer to winter (high) rates.. It is a bit complicated in the accounting principle, but let me explain in essence we lose our summer 400kwh threshold in the two transition times (spring fall) because they do not read our meters every month. In LaPaz they read the meters every month and still get a 2 month billing cycle so it does not affect them. Ok, it gets more complicated , though the threshold are these amounts it shifts the pricing once you pass it to another scale. Sp we lose because say in april when it is a high rate above the 200kwh threshold after passing it it then goes to the max rate of 25cents/kwh for everything past 175 KWh so if you used 600 kwh in May when it is 400 threshold but it does not jump to the max rate of 25cents but averaged this out the way they do, they take total used say 200 plus 600 equals 800 total divided by 60 days is 13kwh a day. Then they on our bills take the 13 kwh and times it by the days in that period 30 for april and may. And so in april though you only used 200kwh they charge you for 400kwh of which 225 of it is charged at the highest rate even though you used it in May when it was hotter. So you could end up with a bill that is about $40.00 dolars or $440.00pesos more than what should be charged. This occurs two times a year.
So this one is hard enough to understand in English how about trying to explain this in another language to get the locals to know they need to get the elected official to talk to CFE? Any ideas? All we need is CFE to do is shift our billing period over one month so the high rates billing periods are in sync. Or a reading every month or just those two months. Or let us report our reading (hahahah) they also may be shifting a few more days int this also, the last bull had 33 days averaged for the higher rate and 26 were in the lower period. This is another area they may be adding a few more dollars at the high rate season that would disappear with being in the correct billing reading. dean

decoding CFE bill
Decoding the bill 101 for Tarifa 1D hilos 2 winter vs summer may-october is summer rates.
OK I think I figured out the discrepancy, I think they read the meters in LaPaz once a month and here once every 2 months. So they just do a straight line averages for LaVentana divide by the total days. Where in LaPaz they use actual monthly reading which is far better.
So the long and short for 1D if you use less than 200 KWhs in the winter per month you are at a lowest scale. And in the summer if you use less than 400 KWhs in a month you are also at the lowest scale. See the scales below for 2.1.1 to know your rates.
If you go over that you hit the basic and intermediate in the summer you go to 2.2.2 if you have 600 KWhs per month before you hop to the top tier.
If you go over 200 in the winter you go to 2.2.2 and everything over 175 KWhs is the maximum rate.

Re: heard this yesterday
here is the link to join Eugene's bajalovers broadcast email for emergencies. This was used since 2003 until Roberta started her ventana view. I suggest we use Vv fas we do and emergencies we go to this one. this one is sent instantanious, so if Roberta is in LaPaz or enjoying the evening it still goes out. but if people begin using it for other than critical it may lose its ability to be an emergency broadcast system.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bajalovers/join
this can be used for emergencies in our area. ie for emergenciies like someone hurt real bad and blood is urgently needed. report suspiciaous activity vehicles so people can be on the look out,. weather warnings for those who do not get noaa updates or pay attention to them for hurricanes.

NOAA Predicts Below Normal 2011 Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season - Although the 2011 Hurricane season officially started on May 15, things are still pretty quiet on the Eastern Front. The 2011 NOAA Outlook, issued 19 May 2011, calls for a 5 percent probability of an above normal season, a 25 percent probability of a near normal season and a 70 percent probability of a below normal season:
Climate patterns similar to those expected this year have historically produced a wide range of activity. Allowing for uncertainties, NOAA estimates a 70% chance of occurrence for each of the following ranges of activity this season:
• 9-15 Named Storms
• 5-8 Hurricanes
• 1-3 Major Hurricanes
The seasonal activity is expected to fall within these ranges in 7 out of 10 seasons with similar climate conditions and uncertainties to those expected this year. They do not represent the total possible ranges of activity seen in past similar years. The 1981-2010 averages for the eastern Pacific hurricane season are 15-16 named storms, 8-9 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes.

US sends unarmed drones to Mexico
Good news…The US is now assisting Mexico with drones… in the battles against the cartels we now have the US using its drones. As we know last year they made us register cell phones with passports and the Mexicans have to register their phones also. I believe this to be a method of choking the communications of the drug cartels. After all, how does a organization co-ordinate their activities and information. Columbia who use to be one of the murder capitals by drug cartels was very effective at stopping the large drug violence with this strategy, Columbia’s murder rate is now much lower than Mexico’s. Below is a link to the article about the drones.

US unarmed drones track drug gangs in Mexico
Mexico's northern border areas have seen much of the violence that has left more than 34,000 dead since late 2006.
The New York Times reports that the Obama administration began sending high-altitude, unarmed drones over Mexican territory in February, aiming to collect information to turn over to Mexican law enforcement agencies.
The paper quotes both American and Mexican officials as saying that Mexico had asked the US to use its drones to track suspects' movements.
Unnamed US officials said drones had gathered intelligence that led to the arrest in Mexico of several suspects in connection with the murder of a US immigration agent, Jaime Zapata.

SAN YSIDRO, California (Reuters) – A $600 million expansion that would more than double capacity at the world's busiest border crossing broke ground south of San Diego on Thursday, aiming to boost security and cut lengthy delays at the California-Mexico border.
.....
The first stage of the overhaul will boost the number of vehicle inspection booths to 46 from the current 24, including a dedicated bus lane and additional inspection facilities at a cost of $292 million.
Second and third phases aim to add pedestrian and southbound inspection facilities and 17 additional northbound inspection booths by early 2016, although more than $300 million needed to complete the project has yet to be authorized by the U.S. government.

San Felipe, BC, Mexico - January 17, 2011 -
The Baja Love Ride, a “ride for a cause”, is forced to change the start date and ride route. The date is being changed from February 14 to March 22. Originally set to begin in Rosarito Beach, the ride will now begin at Monumental Plaza in Tijuana.
Due to unforeseen events, the organizers have had to modify the original planned event. The previously promoted 1000 mile course from Rosarito to Cabo San Lucas has had be shortened considerably. The 2011 ride will now be a 217 mile (349 km) course from Monumental Plaza in Playas de Tijuana to the Aches of San Felipe.
Organizers have recently been told by the government that road damage south of Puertecitos and construction south of the new Highway 5 will make the roads impassable for buses and other large event vehicles.
Authorities contend Federal Highway 5 construction south to Bahia San Luis Gonzaga and west to Transpeninsular Highway 1 will indeed be completed by the time Baja Love Ride 2012 is slated to begin.
