WINNSBORO — This Sunday is time to spring forward, not just in "A Town for All Time" — Winnsboro — but throughout South Carolina.
Before going to bed Saturday night, residents need to move their clocks ahead one hour for daylight-saving time. The time officially changes at 2 a.m.
While the time change can be an inconvenience to some, the time change is part of our culture.
Since that act is so ingrained and necessary, area fire officials have connected a potentially lifesaving practice with the yearly time change — changing the batteries in smoke detectors.
According to Fairfield County Fire Marshal Tony Hill, changing smoke detector batteries when the time changes is the national standard.
"All smoke detectors will chirp and warn you when the battery is getting low," he said, "but the danger in relying upon that mechanism is that people will become annoyed and just remove the battery rather than replace it. If they forget to replace the battery, then they will not have a smoke detector when they need one."
Smoke detectors save lives. Hill said you never know when you will need a functioning smoke detector, so it is crucial to keep fresh batteries in them.
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, people are twice as likely to die from a fire if the home has no working smoke alarms.USFA reminds residents that smoke alarms save lives, prevent injuries, and minimize property damage by detecting fires early and alerting residents, allowing crucial time to escape.
The agency recommends that residents test smoke alarms monthly and that they have alarms installed on every level of their homes, especially in sleeping quarters.
Every year, approximately 2,600 Americans die in home fires. Of those deaths, 52 percent occur between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., when residents are typically sleeping. Smoke and toxic gases from a home fire are as deadly as heat and flames. Just two or three breaths of toxic smoke can render you unconscious.
The majority of fire victims die or are injured from exposure to smoke and toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide, not actual burns. In addition, smoke obscures vision, decreasing your ability to escape.
Proper mounting of alarms and replacing the alarms is another crucial part of their effectiveness. Beware of air vents or registers and other spaces with high air flow, as those are poor locations for an alarm.
The best location is on the ceiling in the center of a room. If that area is not feasible, the second best option is to wall mount the alarm 12 inches lower than one's ceiling.
Replace the entire smoke alarm should be replaced every 10 years. Writing the date of purchase in the inside of the alarm case is a useful way to remember when to replace the device, according to USFA.

Brian Reif a VoluntEARS Who Makes a Difference
In the true spirit of a Disney VoluntEAR, Brian Reif shares his time and expertise to help bring a smile and a unique experience for many kids who come to Central Florida searching for magic.
Im proud to be involved with these VoluntEAR opportunities because I know Im not just impacting one familys experience on one day, said Reif about the many hours he spends every week volunteering at Give Kids The World Village (GKTW). Im helping to ensure that every family that comes to the Village has a better experience.
Give Kids the World is a non-profit resort in Kissimmee that offers children with life-threatening illnesses and their families, free, weeklong vacations where they can experience the best of Central Florida. Since 1986, GKTW has welcomed more than 115,000 families from all 50 states and more than 70 countries. The organization depends on volunteers to fulfill approximately 1,500 shifts every week.
Im one of the facilitators of new volunteer orientation, which gives me the ability to use my Disney storytelling skills to get new volunteers excited about joining the team, said Brian, a Cast Member since 2002.
Behind the scenes, Reif, who works as an information technology specialist at Team Disney, applies his expertise with computers and technology to improve several operational areas at the Village, including efficiency, training and overall experience.
That kind of dedication is paramount to making an operation like ours run at all, let alone smoothly, said Charlie Diauto, associate manager with Volunteer Services at Give Kids The World Village. Brian does an incredible job in that he fulfills and then exceeds those expectations as a volunteer.
Reif is one of thousands of Disney VoluntEARS who donate their time and resources to help community organizations. Last year Cast Members volunteered 208,000 hours to local groups and earned more than $800,00 in grants for Central Florida nonprofits. Nearly 700 Walt Disney World VoluntEARS also received the Presidents Volunteer Service Award from the White House for contributing more than 100 hours of service
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

the sling diaries: style
The second round of Sling Diary entries have all been posted, and they are chock full of beautiful images and lovely ruminations on motherhood and Style. Have you been following along?
Stay up-to-date with the competition and check in with each mama's blog via the official Sling Diaries Pinterest page. There's lots more fun in store: today, Molly kicks off theme #3, Exploration, with a magical hike through the woods.
Tell me, what are your thoughts on motherhood and style?
Pictured here: Jodi, Bekah, Karolina, and Jen.

I love my sling and I try to incorporate it with my style. Whenever I wear it, I get so many looks and questions about it, which helps me educate others about babywearing! I think its fun and necessary to stay stylish as a mother because that means you still consider yourself important.
andrea-thelivewire.blogspot.com/I love how style changes when you become a Mum. :) I have become more aware of my body and treat it with a respect I never had before, and I think that reflects in my style. Gone are the days of frivolous fashionable pieces that only last a season before they either fall apart or you realise look completely ridiculous. :) Now I put more care in to the way I look, even if it's just simple jeans and a t-shirt.
And really, what is more stylish than an unassuming sling with your gorgeous baby inside? Looking forward to the next round of sling diaries!

I sure hope so. This seems to be a prime example of understanding what one means when the claim is made that a feature is intuitive. That is to say, intuitive application behavior isn't some pie-in-the-sky language whereby one is expected to know the functionality of an applications behavior a priori. Rather, one makes a ready assumption presumption on the grounds of previous experience and features (passim) that command-; in a tool would change search fields, as it does in a text.

This is the third experience I've had with Overstock and they have all been positive. I returned one ring due to incorrect size, but it was not the fault of Overstock. Returned the item with no problem.
Lightweight and comfortable. My $300 tunsgten wedding ring from xxxxxx broke in half while playing basketball and they would do NOTHING for me, saying they don't guarantee tungsten even though I only had it for 2 years. Got this ring for around $30 and can't be happier. I'll never buy an expensive ring again. I can get 10 of these for the price of my original one and it looks just as nice!
This ring was bought because I need a wedding band and this fit the bill. I wear It as wedding band and friends love it . My wife loves the look. A lot of ring for the price. Excellent packaging and yes I would recommend it to others. Myself included ( I ordered another ring because the quality and beauty of this ring. ( simple but elegant)
Nice for the price but sizing was way off my fiance is a size 10 so I ordered a 10_5 his finger got stuck in it so need less to say I ordered a size and a half bigger hopefully we have better luck with that
I think that it is a good looking ring, matching the picture exactly. Also, you can't beat the price. Granted I did find it while it was on sale, so that knocked a few more bucks off. The issue was the sizing. I had my finger sized at a reputable jeweler while getting an engagement ring for my fiance. Long story short, a return later, I have a nice fitting ring a full size less than what the jeweler said I should get. Overstock was very easy to work with regarding the return so it wasn't too painful, it just took some time.
Looks very nice. Very comfortable, light weight and strong. Husband loves it.
Good ring for a low price! Much better than anything I could find at a store, with no pressure to buy and a MUCH better price.

text: 2013 CommencementOn June 1, 2013, Westminster College will celebrate the conclusion of its 138th year with the commencement ceremony. It is a time to honor those who will be graduating and thank the friends and families who have supported them through the years. But commencement is more than a celebration of the moment. It is also a link to the past and a promise to the future. Men and women have gathered on this campus for a century. Each spring they have attended their graduation ceremony like the graduates of the class of 2012, heard the same words of praise, and received a diploma and all of the rights and privileges thereto appertaining. There is something magical about repeating the ceremony, uttering those words, and wearing the academic regalia. It ties us to the past and gives context to our moment of celebration. It makes us part of the future, by letting us see that future generations will do the same things, feel the same emotions, and be touched in the same ways. So please, check this website periodically and help us honor the graduating class of 2013. We will be sending out in early March a Commencement Brochure. If you do not receive it, please check back here for the electronic version. Should you have additional questions or concerns please feel free to contact the respective office below.

Playoff clincher: Lobos defeat The Colony to earn postseason bid
BY Chris O'Dell,
Published: Thursday, November 15, 2012 3:22 PM CST
Adversity was the key theme for Little Elm throughout the regular season.
The Lobos were plagued with injuries before their season-opening game against Sherman and also had to overcome the untimely passing of assistant coach Eric Jackson.
However, that adversity allowed Little Elm (5-5, 4-3) to clinch a postseason berth on Friday after finishing the season with three wins in the final four games.
"Just getting the opportunity to get into the playoffs is pretty special," said Donald Stowers, Little Elm head coach. "This team has had to overcome a lot already this season."
The final two games of Little Elm's district slate featured must-win games in order to earn one of the four playoff spots from District 9-4A. After earning a 41-17 victory over Frisco Wakeland two weeks ago, the Lobos were presented with a district finale against The Colony that meant a postseason bid if victorious or a fifth-place finish with a loss.
A 44-29 victory was the end result, as seniors Keaun Kinner and Devante' Pullum led the Lobos with a combined five touchdowns.
"They found a way to slow [Kinner] down a little so we went to a shotgun formation set that Pullum has always done well in," Stowers said.
The change allowed the senior signal caller to complete all six of his pass attempts for 48 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions while also running for 58 yards and two scores on 18 carries.
"It was good to see him get going a little bit," Stowers said. "He's not quite 100 percent yet but he's definitely getting there."
Pullum suffered a strained hip flexor during a preseason scrimmage and has missed significant action throughout the season because of the injury. It didn't seem to slow the senior during Friday's game against The Colony though, as Pullum also opened up space for his feature running back.
Kinner tallied 225 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries to give the senior nearly 2,700 yards this season. The Lobos needed every yard from Kinner with The Colony's Bryan Hammond racking up 256 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries for the Cougars.
Life was made easier for the Little Elm offense after The Colony coughed up five fumbles and also had one pass intercepted by the Lobos.
"We stripped the ball a few times and made some plays to force some turnovers," Stowers said.
The victory puts Little Elm into a first-round matchup against Mesquite Poteet (8-2, 5-2 in District 10-4A) at 7:30 p.m. tonight from Standridge Stadium in Carrollton.
"They're very similar to Wakeland," Stowers said. "They run a four-wide set with a similar quarterback and a few playmakers at receiver. The only difference is they don't run inside as much."
With Poteet running a similar attack as Wakeland, the Lobos should have added confidence after dismantling the Wolverines by 24 points just two weeks ago.
"We know we're able to beat that caliber of team," Stowers said. "It should give us all the confidence we need."
Tonight's winner will take on either Dallas Lincoln or South Oak Cliff next week from a site yet to be determined. Stowers said his team is more than capable of reaching that second-round matchup.
"We feel good about our chances," he said. "Our record doesn't really indicate how good we are. Hopefully going in as the four seed, they will under estimate us."

Diabetes is one of America's greatest health concerns. Nearly 26 million children and adults in the U.S. have the disease, and many more are at risk of developing it later in life.
The American Diabetes Association is holding an EXPO in Salt Lake City to help combat this problem in Utah and provide residents with free screenings and other information related to diabetes prevention and healthy living, according to Dr. Elizabeth Seaquist, president of medicine and science for the ADA.
The EXPO will be held on Mar. 2 at the South Town Exposition Center in Salt Lake City. It is free and open to the public, with activities geared toward youth and their families.

Owning villas in kerala has become a trend and a symbol of status for both the natives and foreigners. The scenic beauty of 'Gods' own country' is the main reason for the popularity of these homes. Traditionally designed villas located along the backwaters or green patches in Kerala are high in demand. The builders in Kerala thus choose such locations for their projects, which in turn, gives them high profits. The most modern amenities offered in the traditionally designed villas for the residents, lure people to buy one and reside.
The youngsters those who are placed with high remuneration, especially in the IT field in Kerala, want to own their homes at the earliest. Most of them prefer to buy a ready to occupy villa rather than spending time and constructing homes on their own. The varieties of design, round the clock security, water supply and electricity and after sales maintenance are some of the benefits of residing in villas that persuade people to purchase one. Villas in urban cities in Kerala, especially in Cochin, are much in demand since the advent and development of the IT firms and multinational companies. Villas in such places are occupied mostly by those who are employed with these firms. A more recent trend that has been set is that of the eco friendly villas, which are designed in such a way so as to conserve energy and natural resources to the maximum.
Many of the people, especially the NRIs, purchase the villas in Kerala with investment prospects. Since Kerala is developing at a rapid pace, real estate in the state assures much profit.

European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT): Commission consults on future strategy
The European Commission today launches a public consultation on the future strategy of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) following the success of its initial phase. The consultation will feed into a 'strategic innovation agenda' for the EIT which the Commission is due to propose by the end of this year. The agenda will outline the Institute's main priorities until 2020, focusing on the Institute's mission and objectives, funding and future themes.
The European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, Androulla Vassiliou, who is responsible for the EIT, will announce the consultation at a conference in Budapest.
"With the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, we are pioneering a new collaboration between higher education, research and business. The Commission is keen to listen to the views of our partners before finalising our proposal on the future strategy. The idea of is to build on the lessons learned from the Institute's first phase and to prepare the way for expanding the EIT. The Institute has the potential to become a powerful motor of innovation and entrepreneurship in Europe," declared Commissioner Vassiliou.
The EIT has an administrative headquarters (in Budapest), but operates from 16 sites throughout Europe, from Barcelona to Stockholm, through cross-border public-private partnerships known as 'knowledge and innovation communities', or KICs for short. The KICs bring together excellent higher education institutions, research centres and businesses. To date, three KICs have been created, focusing on sustainable energy (InnoEnergy KIC), climate change (Climate KIC) and information and communication society (EIT ICTLabs).
The consultation complements a broad debate on the future of EU research and innovation funding (see Commission Green Paper "From Challenges to Opportunities: Towards a Common Strategic Framework for EU Research and Innovation funding", 9 February 2011).
Your views on the future of higher education
The European Commission has just launched a public consultation on the modernisation of higher education in Europe. Contribute with your views by filling in a short online questionnaire.
Europe 2020 - the EU's strategic agenda for growth - stresses the vital role of the European higher education sector in developing human capital and driving research and innovation in the knowledge economy. As part of its efforts to help develop higher education in Europe, the European Commission plans to adopt a new Communication on the modernisation of higher education in the third quarter of 2011. This will provide strategic direction for the development of European higher education in the next ten years, including in the areas of education, research and innovation. This new Communication will review progress towards the objectives set out in the 2006 Communication on modernisation higher education and propose action to respond to the challenges of the new decade.
To help prepare the new Communication, the European Commission is currently undertaking a wide-ranging consultation with stakeholders in European higher education. As part of this, we would like to invite you to complete a short online questionnaire, asking for your views on priorities for higher education, including its research and innovation dimensions, in the period up to 2020.
The questionnaire will take around 10 minutes to complete. The consultation will be open until 15 March 2011. You can complete it in English, French or German.

Jasna, Traveling with you means following a well-researched trail, with extremely informative, practical, useful and interesting commentary. The places chosen to visit are hidden treasures, uncrowded and really pleasurable and interesting to visit. My advice to anyone is, take Jasna's advice, she is very well-informed, can add a local perspective, and always points you in an even more fantastic direction. Or towards a sensational food and drink experience! Visiting Croatia was a total pleasure. We met only helpful, nice, and kind Croatians; discovered a long and exciting history, experienced fabulous summer weather, and there was also an occasional similarity to New Zealand (at the same latitude north NZ is south; the Croatians even have satan pushed to NZ, and we have similar population numbers). Will send more photos, Jenny
e-mail form Linda
Trust this finds you two lovely people happy and healthy. Words cannot express my delight at meeting you both and my heartfelt gratitude for the amazing amount of time and energy you gave to ensure we had a memorable time. AND I certainly did... the time I spent with you will always be a real highlight of the whole trip! We certainly would never have got to all the places you took us or learnt all we did about your country's history wow what knowledge you and Karmen have. Jen has forwarded on the photos so thanks also for those. I am going to see my travel agent this week and will tell her of your website for her interest as even though she is well travelled she has not been to Croatia and is very interested to hear about it. Love and friendship...... Linda

The Kansas City Board of Trade provides a daily newsletter, the KCBT Review, which traders at the Kansas City Board of Trade use on a daily basis to keep on top of the market.
Kansas City wheat futures traded higher this morning, supported by further declines in the winter wheat crop ratings in yesterday's crop progress reports, according to traders.
All winter wheat is now estimated at 39% good-to-excellent, versus 40% last week. Kansas stayed unchanged at 37% good-to-excellent from last week, Oklahoma came in lower at 21% good-to-excellent versus 27% last week, and Nebraska improved from 9% good-to-excellent last week to 13% this week.
The effects of the ongoing drought continue to affect the emerging HRW wheat crop, traders said. There also continues to be not a lot of rain in the forecast for HRW wheat areas, traders added.
Kansas City wheat futures traded higher today after yesterday's delayed USDA crop progress reports estimated the winter wheat crop overall in poor condition, according to traders.
This has been reported as the worst start in the good-to-excellent category for the winter wheat crop since the beginning of official reports, traders added. The entire U.S. winter wheat crop is estimated at 40% good-to-excellent, versus 46% last year.
Kansas is rated at 37%, Oklahoma at 27%, and Nebraska at 9% good-to-excellent. The drought continues to take a toll on the progress of the newly planted wheat crop, traders said.
SovEcon has now downgraded the Russian wheat crop to 37.5 million metric tonnes, down .5 million metric tonnes from their last report and from the USDA estimate, traders said.
Kansas City wheat futures traded slightly lower today with some small profit taking ahead of tomorrow's USDA production and supply and demand reports, according to traders.
A private firm has raised their Chinese winter wheat crop estimate to 114.3 million metric tonnes, higher than their previous estimate, traders said. This new number is lower than the current USDA estimate, traders added.
Kazakhstan's grain crop estimate is being estimated at a lower number by the Kazakhstan Agriculture Ministry.
Corn, soybeans, and Spring wheat all showed declines in yesterday's USDA progress reports but were trading lower this morning ahead of the reports tomorrow.
Kansas City wheat futures traded mostly lower this morning with economic concerns weighing on the market, according to traders.
Some economic news out of China was negative this morning, and the U.S. unemployment number increased from 8% to 8.2%, traders said. The U.S. economy only added 69,000 new jobs, compared to an expected 150,000, traders added.
USDA weekly wheat export sales were poor, estimated at a negative 64,000 metric tonnes of old crop and 325,000 metric tonnes of new crop wheat. Previous estimates ranged from 400,000 to 550,000 metric tonnes.

SEATTLE — When Tony Cava got a letter from Washington state about somebody complaining that his personalized license plate came across as "vulgar, profane or offensive to good taste and decency," he was, well, "pretty befuddled."
The plate on his white 1989 BMW says, "GOES211."
He thought, what's so vulgar about that?
Cava, 53, is a fan of "This is Spinal Tap," the 1984 mockumentary about a fictional heavy metal group. The license plate is a homage to the classic scene in which band member Nigel explains that while other amps go to 10 on the volume control, theirs goes to 11, "if we need that extra push over the cliff."
A man identifying himself as Johnny Dixon wasn't thinking "Spinal Tap" when he spotted the plate.
Last October, Dixon emailed the Department of Licensing: "I find it in poor taste that the great state of Washington would issue a plate that allows a driver to insinuate in public that his penis grows to 11 inches in length. The rest of the citizens of Washington should not be subjected to this vulgarity."
And so the case of GOES211 ended up before something called the DOL's Personalized License Plate Committee. Bureaucracies like committees, and lists.
State law gives the agency authority to determine what is and isn't offensive in a personalized plate. But even if the DOL approves a plate, anyone who spots a plate on the road and takes offense can make a complaint. Then, the agency investigates.
There are plenty of terms that can offend.
The agency has compiled a list of 654 "do not issue" terms for vanity plates since the state began issuing them in 1975. Using everything from Google searches that include foreign-language and slang dictionaries to asking translators to explain what something means in Russian, the committee decides what crosses the offensive line.
The committee, made up of six people ranging from a State Patrol representative to a DOL administrator, is the last resort of appeal for questionable plates, and it's where complaints from the public about a specific plate usually end up.
In the case of GOES211, the committee let Cava keep his plate.
"The complaint was, pardon my pun, a stretch," says Brad Benfield, a DOL spokesman who's served 10 years on the committee.
Asked to comment about his complaint, Dixon emailed back, "What exactly is it that you want to know? I find it disturbing that you can access my emails to the DOL."
Public records for the story were first acquired by the nonprofit.
The committee handles about 12 cases a year, which is obviously a minuscule fraction of the 84,000 vanity plates out there.
Then there was the case of Fred Talbot, a Sammamish account manager who likes to hunt.
In 2010, he was denied the license plate "ELKNUT" for his Dodge Ram pickup.
He remembers the DOL calling him: "The lady said people might think you're referring to an elk's testicles," Talbot recalls. "I said, 'You've got to be kidding! This is silly!' "
Talbot wrote the committee: "This is a very well-known name in elk hunting circles as it is the name of an Internet company called Elknut Productions which sells products to help elk hunters. I did not ask for 'ELKNUTS' or 'ELKSNUT,' even I would agree that might be taken the wrong way."
The agency then found that it had issued 60 personalized plates with "NUT" as the last three characters — DUKNUT, PIGNUT, HOGNUT.
So the committee allowed Talbot his personalized plate that had cost him $69.75. He now diplomatically says about it all, "I thought they were a little too conservative."
But it is in the documents from the committee that you see the emotions involved.
In the case of "JUGALET," for four years it had adorned a 2003 Chevy Cavalier driven by Lisa Kleiner, 42.
She works at a Puyallup hospital as a representative for cancer patients.
She's also a big fan of Insane Clown Posse, the Detroit hip-hop duo whose fervent fans are known as Juggalos.
Kleiner says she has appreciated how the duo, whose lyrics are often violent but combined with spirituality, reaches out to those who've had troubled lives.
Officer Mike Lusk of the Puyallup Police Department thought otherwise.
On February 2010, he emailed the DOL about not only JUGALET, but another plate, JUGGALO:
"Regardless of the plate holder's activation in the gang the plate still refers to a known recognized gang in WA. It would be no different if DOL issued a plate titled Blood or Crips."
Kleiner wrote the committee, "I am a law-abiding citizen and I have devoted the last 15 years of my life to helping others. I was shocked and offended that someone would make a complaint."
But, unanimously, the committee pulled both plates.
Says Kleiner, "What happened to freedom of speech?"
Finally, we come to the case of "THE BOP."
Roger Baker, 68, used to be police chief in Des Moines.
He and his wife, Shirley Baker, 60, now run Business of Policing (BOP), a consulting firm.
So they were quite surprised when in September 2010, the state rejected their application to have "THE BOP" as their vanity plate.
It turned out the agency's staff had gone to Wikipedia and the Urban Dictionary. It takes work, trying to figure out hidden meanings.
They found "BOP" could mean everything from "early modern jazz" to "Sexually suggestive."
Says Shirley Baker, "Our circle of friends, even cops, were clueless about any kind of negative connotation."
Roger Baker wrote the committee, "My wife and I are members of the 'senior community' and the plates, 'THE BOP,' on our Ford Explorer should certainly allay any question of sinister meaning to anyone."
The committee allowed the plate.

Without trying to get into politics (which is what governmental influences on foreign and local policies is), I would like to point out that China's current growth is based on being able to produce more on less due to their willingness to employ workers at remarkablely lower incomes than you and I. Since they are growing into a Superpower with the intention of globalizing their political agenda, I think it very likely that if the United States and the EU lower their production to match CO2 emmisions...OR if the United States and the EU raise their prices to match the regulations needed to match CO2 emmisions...that China will simply take up the slack and replace it 1 for 1.

According to a press release from the California Highway Patrol, dated Nov. 21, 2012:
On November 21, 2012 a Garberville Area CHP Officer observed a green 2004 Jeep Laredo traveling southbound on US-101 at a high rate of speed through Richardson Grove, resulting in an enforcement stop north of the Mendocino County line. The Jeep's driver was identified by his California Driver's License as Luis Alonso Nolasco (DOB: 12/21/1972) from Paramount, California.
While speaking with Mr. Nolasco, the Officer recognized the strong odor of marijuana emitting from inside the Jeep. Mr.Nolasco also related that there was marijuana inside the vehicle. During a subsequent investigation, approximately 111 pounds of processed and packaged marijuana was located inside the Jeep. The marijuana was processed and packaged in clear plastic bags, each weighing nearly a pound. Mr. Nolasco was placed under arrest on suspicion of marijuana cultivation, possession and transportation for sales. The Humboldt County Drug Task Force (HCDTF) responded to the scene and assisted Garberville Area CHP with this incident.
The photo below shows the confiscated packaged marijuana:

According to a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office, dated Nov. 12, 2012:
On 11-20-2012, the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office concluded a majority of the Death Investigation of Dorothy Evelyn Ulrich, 47 years old of Hoopa. Investigators determined that Ulrich was the victim of a Homicide, and suspect Jason Anthony Warren, 28 years old, a transient, is allegedly responsible for her Homicide.
Based upon their investigation, Sheriff's Detectives believe Ulrich was killed during the early morning hours of September 27, 2012. A silver Kia Spectra was stolen from Hoopa shortly after Ulrich's death. Subsequently, the Silver Kia Spectra was recovered by the Eureka Police Department in the City of Eureka on September 27th, 2012. The Sheriff's Office has submitted its case to the Humboldt County District Attorneys Office today, along with a Declaration in Support of an Arrest Warrant, requesting charges of homicide and auto theft be filed against Warren.
Jason Warren is currently in custody at San Quentin State Prison on an unrelated charge.

Hear an extended 20+ min. interview with Stephen Sillett below.
According to a press release from the Humboldt State University Media Relations Office:
Stephen C. Sillett, the first Kenneth L. Fisher Chair in Redwood Forest Ecology at Humboldt State University, and his colleagues have confirmed the second-largest tree on earth, about 3,240 years old, above a trail junction in Sequoia National Park, according to the latest edition of National Geographic magazine.
High-altitude climbing research and painstaking measurements by Sillett and his colleagues show that the giant sequoia, named the President about 90 years ago, ranks number two among all big trees ever measured, National Geographic reports.Twenty-seven feet in diameter at the base, the President's spire rises 247 feet and is estimated to house nearly two billion leaves. It stands some 7,000 feet above sea level in the southern Sierra Nevada. In addition to confirming the tree's near-record size, state-of-the-art climbing technology and extreme precision have enabled the Sillett operations crew to pinpoint startling facts, among them: a big tree's rate of growth can increase despite old age. That negates the long-held belief that wood production diminishes as trees grow old, the premise undergirding short-rotation forestry.
The Sillett crew's breakthrough, high-altitude research—numerous and demanding human ascent operations, laborious raising of cameras, the taking of bore samples and sophisticated mathematical modeling—is a key component of the 10-year Redwoods and Climate Change Initiative, led by Humboldt State and UC Berkeley redwoods scientists under the auspices of the Save the Redwoods League, San Francisco. The objectives are to gather research on how redwoods can survive immense environmental alterations and to devise a long-term, comprehensive strategy for redwoods adaptation to protect and restore redwood forestlands.
The research is aimed at data-based approaches to protection against climate change. It will be based in part on a network of forest plots to be monitored for more than 100 years. The study includes whole-tree and whole-forest rates of annual wood production as far back as 1,000 years. Leading scientists Sillett and Robert Van Pelt of Humboldt State University and Todd Dawson and Anthony Ambrose of the UC Berkeley are probing the capacity of redwoods to mitigate the impact of climate changes through their own photosynthesis, fog interception, wood production and carbon sequestration. The team will attempt to reconstruct past climates to learn how redwoods responded historically to climate change and then assess how the trees are adapting currently. Greenhouse experiments will be used to analyze how redwood seedlings and saplings from different parts of forest ranges might react to climate change.

According to a press release from the Humboldt County sheriff's Office, dated Nov. 19, 2012:
On 11-17-2012, at approximately 5:00 p.m. the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office received a call from a citizen stating there was a bank owned property located at 340 Fox Hill Lane, Fortuna. The citizen told the Sheriff's Dispatcher there are currently people wandering around on the property that did not seem to belong there and now a chain was strung up across the driveway.
When deputies arrived at the residence with the Fortuna Police Department, no one was around. However, there appeared to be an indoor marijuana grow in the residence. Deputies attempted contact with a bank representative, however were unable to locate anyone. Deputies sought and obtained a Humboldt County Superior Court search warrant for the residence and located approximately 300 pounds of processed marijuana hanging and drying in the garage and in a shed in the back yard. Deputies determined the suspect(s) had forced entry into the locked building via a back door and then re-secured it. Deputies are currently following up leads into potential suspects in this investigation.
Anyone with information for the Sheriffs Office regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriffs Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriffs Office Crime Tip line at 707-268-2539.
According to a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office, dated Nov. 19, 2012:
On 11-18-2012, approximately 2:30 p.m. the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office received a call from the victim of a robbery. The 39 year old male told the responding deputies he was at the 76 Gasoline Station on Murray Road, McKinleville ( near U.S. 101) parked to the east of the store. He was standing by his white 2001 Chevy Tahoe when a black male adult came up and asked him for a cigarette. As the victim reached for a cigarette, the suspect drew a silver colored handgun from his front sweatshirt pocket. The victim believed the gun was a .38 caliber revolver. The suspect then ordered the victim to drive him to Clam Beach Vista Point, US 101, McKinleyville. When the victim parked the vehicle the suspect ordered the victim to give him all his cash. After the victim gave the suspect his cash, the suspect struck the victim in the head with the gun, knocking the victim unconscious.
The victim described the suspect as a black male adult, 5'9" tall, wearing a blue sweatshirt and black pants. Deputies checked the area and were unable to locate the suspect.
Anyone with information for the Sheriffs Office regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriffs Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriffs Office Crime Tip line at 707-268-2539.
According to a press release from the Eureka Police Department, sent Nov. 17, 2012:
On 11-16-12 at about 9:17 pm, officers of the Eureka Police Department responded to a residential burglary alarm on the 3400 Block of 'O' Street. The first officer who arrived observed that there were signs of forced entry into the residence. He also saw two subjects walking away from the residence. The officer attempted to contact the subjects, but they immediately fled into Sequoia Park.
After other officers arrived on the scene, a perimeter was set up and EPD K9 "Vex" was utilized to locate the subjects. After a fairly extensive track through the wooded park, one of the suspects, a 16 year old male, was located. He was taken into custody without incident. After he was detained, as officers were trying to place him in a patrol car, the suspect attempted to kick one of the officer's. The officer was able to gain control of the suspect, and he was placed into the patrol car. The juvenile suspect was arrested for burglary, resisting arrest, public intoxication, and possession of concentrated cannabis. He was transported and booked into Juvenile Hall. The other suspect wasn't located and is still outstanding.
Based upon evidence located on scene, including video surveillance from the area, it appears the two juveniles had been in the neighborhood checking door handles on automobiles prior to breaking into the residence.
If anyone has further information regarding this case they are encouraged to contact Officer Leonard La France at (707) 441-4060.
EPD K9 "Vex" on alert
According to a press release from the Eureka Police Department, dated Nov. 17, 2012:
On 11-16-2012 at about 10:36 am, an officer with the Eureka Police Department met with the victim of a vehicle theft. A report was taken regarding the victim's Volkswagen Passat.
At about 3:17 pm, officers were dispatched to the Bayshore Mall for a reported theft that had just occurred. A male suspect had stolen property from Kohl's and fled the scene in a Volkswagen Passat. The vehicle was last seen traveling southbound on Broadway. As the vehicle fled, Security personnel were able to obtain its license plate number. A records check of the license plate revealed that it was the vehicle stolen earlier in the day. Officers searched the area, but were unable to locate the vehicle. Officers reviewed security footage of the theft and were able to identify the suspect as Marcos Antonio Gamez (36 years old of Eureka).
At about 4:09 pm, officers of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) responded to a single car traffic collision on Singley Hill Road in Loleta. A vehicle had impacted a power pole and driven off the embankment. CHP officers arrived on scene to find the involved vehicle to be the stolen Volkswagen Passat. CHP officers also located Gamez at the scene and took him into custody. An officer of the Eureka Police Department responded to the scene and confirmed the identification of Gamez as the suspect in the security footage of the Kohl's incident. Items taken from the theft at Kohl's were also located in the Volkswagen Passat. Gamez was soon booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on charges of possession of stolen property, petty theft, vehicle theft, driving under the influence, driving while suspended, probation violation, and parole violation. Gamez is not eligible for bail due to his parole status.
This is an ongoing investigation and anyone with information regarding this matter is urged to contact Officer Aubuchon at 707-441-4060.
Marcos Antonio Gamez
Growing marijuana ranges from very light touch, that is from using no additives except natural fertilizers, to the extreme of heavily utilizing commercial fertilizers, growth stimulants and pesticides. As is true for any crop that is consumed, how the plant is grown may have health implications for users. The increased sophistication of the marijuana industry along with moves toward legalization, and thus regulation, has created new practices, including laboratories that test the quality and safety of the product.
On Thurs., Nov. 15, 2012 KMUD News coordinator, Terri Klemetson, aired an interview with Alec Dixon, Director of Sales and Outreach and cofounder of a cannabis testing lab called SC Laboratories - the lab that will test entries to this year's Emerald Cup held at the Mateel Community Center, Dec. 15.

Title | Abstract | Start | End |
(details) |
The focus of the project is outdoor mobile computer vision with all of its challenges. Mobile systems need to be compact and energy efficient and are frequently changing locations. Therefore they must be autonomous and perform processing locally. A number of challenges arise from these requirements for which the project aims to provide solutions: Being compact, there is not much space for a large number of sensors such as laser scanners, radar antennas and the like. The work in this project will focus on stereo vision but with two different types of cameras. Often a second camera is already available and stereo information increases detection accuracies. Each time the system moves it needs to adapt to the changing situation. This requires adaptive calibration and online learning. Mobile systems often work from batteries. In addition, there is not much space to include intricate cooling systems. Thus, the system must be designed to be very energy efficient. New approaches for dynamic power management will be explored in the project. To put the work into context, several applications from the area of traffic surveillance/toll enforcement will be implemented and tested in an application oriented setting. Current traffic enforcement solutions are either very large and costly (section control, toll enforcement) or do not offer much in terms of image processing (radar speed control). The technological output of Mobi Trick makes it possible to design mobile solutions for traffic monitoring, vehicle identification and classification, intelligent incident detection and observation of driver behavior. Mobile devices are also more efficient in enforcement. Their transient nature makes them less predictable. Mobile systems can also react more flexibly to changing road situations such as construction sites. |

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
The Pinnacle Cannon is the farthest disc I can throw right now, anyone else experiencing this yet? I don't throw as far as I used to- but this disc gets me back to 400+ with ease, sometimes it goes too far. Only for those with raw power- so if you have some good arm speed, try one out, you won't regret it.
I ordered a first run Icon Cannon. Two days ago, I got the first chance to throw it. And booom, this thing is so unbelievable fast!!!
on my homecourse the longest hole is about 400 feet. my second throw with cannon smashed 30 feet high in the trees behind this basket and the cannon didn't seem to stop, if it won't hit the trees. I'm curious how far it goes on a open field. Maybe close to 600, i hope so :-))

Thought I'd get everything into a new thread.
Board is 6'0" x 18"13/16 x 2"3/8 - 28l
Based off the Taj template
nose width maxed out and tail widened a fair bit also
Screen Shot 2011-12-16 at 16.31.jpg
Initial impressions when I received the board were that it packed a nice bit of foam for more average conditions and that if anything I'd gone a little too full. Well I took it out for the first surf today and as soon as I lay on it to paddle out all concerns about doing too chunky were gone. The thing feels like a little weapon, even the widened nose is still pretty skinny, especially compared to the Sub Scorcher I've been riding for the last 5 months. It paddles about as well as my 5'8" Sub, probably a little better actually, despite the added rocker, that extra rail length is something I've missed without realising. Waves were around head high on the peak, fairly steep but not especially punchy and flattening out on the shoulder fairly quickly. The kind of conditions where my 6'2" Taj would be limited.
I only caught a few nice waves on it today because the tide filled in a little too quickly but first impressions of the board is that it's buttery smooth through turns, literally effortless. First wave felt great, smooth off the bottom, nice arc off the top and the board just releases at the apex of the turn and comes back under you and ready for the next one. Generates speed well through fatter sections too. Where I'd be boggin on the stock 6'2" the added tail area of the CBD flew along and the flex felt very lively. More so than any of my other Firewires in fact. Very early days but right now I'm extremely happy with the board and the changes I made to the model using the CBD program. Feels like it could well be a magic board in the making!
I'll keep updating as I surf it more.
