HAMILTON CITY -- The search for Brett Olson ended Sunday morning when a fisherman saw his body floating in the Sacramento River.
From the river bank, the fisherman flagged down members of a Search and Rescue team who were on a boat in the river, said Glenn County Sheriff Larry Jones.
At about 10:20 a.m., they recovered the body and then transferred it to another Search and Rescue boat, which took it to the boat ramp at Scotty's Boat Landing, Jones said.
Olson, 20, a student from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, participated in the annual float on Labor Day weekend with thousands of other young adults. He was last seen around 4 p.m. on Sept. 2 on what's known as beer can beach, an area next to Scotty's.
On the Friday before Labor Day weekend, he got a ride to Chico to visit friends at Chico State University and take part in the float.
His body was found near a place called the washout, a mile or two downriver from beer can beach.
Scotty's, which includes a bar, is on River Road, about a mile south of Highway 32. It is on the river's east bank.
Jones said that as far as he knew, Olson's death was the first drowning in connection with the Labor Day float. He said there have been some near drownings, and many tubers have had to be rescued from danger.
It's not known how Olson might have got into trouble in the river. His friends said he had been drinking alcohol but didn't seem "over the edge."
He had done the Labor Day float twice before. He had been a lifeguard in high school and was said to be in good health.
Jones said a toxicology report on the body would be made.
Michael and Elizabeth Olson of Lafayette had been in Chico all week, along with many friends, trying to help look for their son.
The family had offered a $10,000 reward for information that would lead to his safe return.
For them, Sunday morning's efforts started at 10, in the Safeway parking lot on Nord Avenue. There, they joined more than 100 volunteers -- college students, some of whom knew Olson, and family members -- as a starting point for canvassing Chico neighborhoods.
Sheriff Jones said there had been many reports of possible sightings of Olson in and around Chico.
Since the stretch of the river north and south of Scotty's had been searched again and again for a week, it was thought that Olson might be found in Chico or elsewhere.
Those who gathered at the supermarket parking lot set out to different neighborhoods to go door-to-door, delivering posters with Olson's picture, said Gayla Warner, supervisor of the Chico Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS), a group of citizens who assist Chico Police.
She said some of the missing student's friends organized the neighborhood search. They intended to get lots of posters into people's hands and to perhaps talk to someone who had seen Olson.
Before the young people left with the posters, Olson's parents thanked them for their efforts. A local woman said a prayer, hoping for the searchers' success.
When the body was found, Warner said, law-enforcement officials hoped to keep the news from spreading -- at least until the volunteer searchers had returned to the Safeway parking lot at 1 p.m. for a briefing. They hoped to have chaplains there then to help Olson's friends.
However, word that the body had been found got out, and quickly spread via the social media, she said.
Soon after the body was taken ashore, law-enforcement officers had the young man's parents brought from the Safeway parking lot to Scotty's.
After identifying the body, Olson's parents hugged and wept as they stood near the entrance to the boat ramp on River Road.
By 12:30 p.m. or so, some of Olson's friends had returned to the parking lot on Nord Avenue -- about 25 young people could be seen sitting or talking to each other in small groups.
"I'm in a state of shock," one young woman said.
Jones said it didn't surprise him that Olson's body was found a week after his disappearance, despite all the searching of the river that has been done.
What happened is typical, he said. When someone drowns, the body sinks. On the river bottom are lots of branches, dead trees and other debris that have come down in floods. A body can get hung up on them. After a few days, a body will float again, if it's free to move.
Jones said about 10,000 people floated down the river on inner tubes, rafts and other things on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend.
He said he and other authorities planned to meet with Chico State University President Paul Zingg concerning the drowning.
"Obviously this will bring about much discussion about what we can do with this event," he said, referring to the Labor Day float.
Last year, some local officials asked Assemblyman Dan Logue, R-Loma Rica, to sponsor a bill that would essentially outlaw drinking alcohol on the river on certain holidays. They were concerned about safety, but also the huge cost of providing law enforcement for events like the Labor Day float.
"It takes a tremendous amount of resources," Jones said.
Logue's bill passed, empowering Butte and Glenn counties to ban alcohol on the river on selected holidays. It was thought that with alcohol banned, the float would be much, much smaller.
However, to impose the ban would have taken a four-fifths vote of both the Butte and Glenn county boards of supervisors, Jones said. The vote by Butte supervisors met the four-fifths threshold, but in Glenn County, only three supervisors voted for the ban. So it was not imposed.
Jones said he had favored trying a ban to see if it would work.
The sheriff called the search over the last week "coordinated and intensive."
At any given time, there were probably 25 to 40 people from various agencies searching for Olson.
Taking the lead were the Glenn and Butte county sheriffs' offices and Chico police. Also helping were the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, state Department of Fish and Game, California State Parks, the Hamilton City Fire Department, Search and Rescue teams from Yuba and Nevada counties, California Highway Patrol, and the University Police at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
Jones said news media were indispensable in getting information out.

">Kennard makes decision
In front of friends, family and a swarm of media, Phoenix (Ariz.) five-star defensive end Devon Kennard made his commitment to USC public Tuesday morning from Desert Vista High School.
Becoming the fifth five-star commitment for the Trojans in the 2009 class, Kennard called Tuesday's announcement the toughest decision of his life.
"This was a really tough decision, but I've decided to attend the University of Southern california - I'm a Trojan," said Kennard as he put on a cardinal colored USC hat. "I felt like I needed to step up and be a man with this decision. I'm glad that this is the end and that I'm going to be a Trojan. My family is close and they'll get to see me play.
"USC has great coaches, and I think athletically and academically, it's a school that will give me the best opportunity to succeed," he continued.
With more than 40 scholarship offers by September of his senior year, Kennard narrowed his college options to Arizona State, Cal, Texas, UCLA and USC. Tuesday, he donned a cardinal and gold t-shirt over Longhorn, Bear and Sun Devil apparel.
"I really do want to take the time to thank all of the coaches who took the time to recruit me," said Kennard. "Coach (Tosh) Lupoi at Cal and coach (Bobby) Kennedy at Texas were both awesome. Having to call those coaches and tell them no was really hard.
"They all had a chance to back off my recruitment when I got hurt, but they stayed with me. That means a lot to me, and I'm thankful and honored to have been recruited by those coaches. It was a blessing."
Among other factors, Kennard, who gives the Trojans their third five-star commitment on defense, chose USC for its competitive atmosphere.
"The atmosphere at USC is all about winning," said Kennard. "I'm a competitive person and that's the philosophy Pete Carroll has. He's a defensive minded coach and the environment he has created at USC just pushes you to get better."
The Trojans were considered the front-runner for Kennard's commitment since his junior year, when he had 24.5 sacks and 111 tackles. Taking his time with the recruiting process, unofficial visits and official visits to to Arizona State, Texas and Cal couldn't steal USC's Desert Vista Thunder.
"I planned on committing like three weeks ago," sighed Kennard. "When (Nick) Holt left USC, I had to wait and really look over my options. Out of respect to Cal and Texas, I had great relationships with those coaches.
"I knew SC would make a great hire, but coach Holt was the one that recruited me, he was my defensive coordinator and my defensive line coach. I needed to feel comfortable with Jethro Franklin the way I felt comfortable with the coaches from other school that had been recruiting me all year long."
Franklin, along with newly promoted defensive coordinator, Rocky Seto, sealed the deal for the Trojans on an in-home visit early last week.
"The only thing that changed with USC was my position coach," said Kennard. "They still have a great, attacking scheme at SC, and their plan for me has never changed.
"Coach Franklin is a great coach with a lot of NFL experience. He seems like a really good guy - very personable. My family felt comfortable with him and that put me at ease."
For Kennard, his relationship with each college coach directly affected his growth as a football player and a person.
While some recruits discuss academics with tongue in cheek, Kennard accounted for the educational aspects of USC while holding down a 3.96 GPA.
"All three schools, USC, Texas and Cal offered a great education, and education is something I take seriously," said Kennard. "SC has a great business school and I want to get a degree that will help me provide for my family after football. I know, especially with this injury, that football can be taken away anytime."
Stay tuned to USCFootball.com for more from Devon Kennard's commitment later today!

Does this remind anyone else of the Castro Valley Jane Doe case?
Web Link
Maybe they don't have the correct suspect or he is not even in Mexico?

It's good to see this information coming forward, as surely there is someone out there somewhere waiting to hear what has happened to a loved one. Busy times for our Pleasanton Police Department. Do you know whether there has been any further information on the mother-daughter shooting case? Are the Pleasanton Police calling in additional forensic experts to augment their expertise in this area? It seems that some of these cases might be beyond the normal day-to-day scope for Pleasanton's training, and that the outside experts might be able to assist. It's been almost a month, and it seems no new evidence would suddenly surface to crystalize the findings.

I too immediately thought of the Castro Valley Jane Doe case. At least that woman was identified. Was her killer every caught? If not, maybe it is the same guy!
Pleasanton suddenly has a number of unusual cases to investigate. The idea of getting forensic experts or some other kind of experts to help our local police sounds good to me. Can we afford it?

I am happy to hear there is an active investigation in this case. WHY WHY WHY don't we have more coverage and information on this case in the media? Also, the murder/ suicide hasn't been reported much either. Why not?
a resident of Birdland
on Jun 7, 2012 at 11:33 am
The Jane Doe case was featured on the news last night on at least two stations, channel 2 and 4, broadcast from PPD. They showed the sketch and the unique earrings she was wearing. There's also an article about the case in the Times today. Hopefully someone who knew her will come forward.

I was glad to see that when you click on the pictures on the left it comes up bigger. Those earrings are unique. I am sure her family, if they are looking at this, will identify her by them. her friends as well. Very sad and obviously a young woman by the type of clothing she chose to wear and the style of the jewelry. Maybe Terry can help...

Hello Moth and SamMoth wrote:--cut for space-- Everything the subject attempts to identify itself with, by principle of being conscious of it, it cannot be. The subject is always a negative space of sorts. If I am conscious of a feeling I cannot be that feeling, if I am conscious of a perception, I cannot be that perception, etc. If I am conscious of the thought "I am" I cannot be that thought, nor can that thought ever correctly reference me.
Thus the subject cannot be associated with anything, because anything you associate it with it cannot be. I am what I am not and I am not what I am. This is further complicated by the Buddha's teaching that consciousness arises from contact between, for example eye and form. This makes me think that it is incorrect to say that the subject is conscious of an object, rather the consciousness is an awareness of the contact between two objects, and there is no subject at all. GAH.
This is interesting and correct in my understanding also. Because we are not what we observe so we have no reason to claim it as 'mine'. Consequently we do not need to crave or cling to any sensed phenomena (thought, feeling, sense contact etc). What is more, as you point out Moth, there is no self or permanent subject according to Buddhism (anatta) so there is no 'owner' of any sensed phenomena. Again this implies even when we are angry or gripped by passion, there is no real owner and we have an opportunity to be "free" from its grip, in a sense. This is often not an option we see, instead we believe we are what we feel.
The issue is that through ignorance we can believe and create (or give birth to) a sense of self. If we create a sense of self it can lead to a feeling that we are obliged to act to define our self or protect our self image. This leads to dukkha (frustration) as there is no real self which we can protect or define and it must eventually end (die) or under go change. For example, believing I am a rich business man, having made lots of money in real estate, I have a self image. Propelled by this sense of self I expect to be treated with respect by my employees, however when I am not treated with respect, I become hostile or depressed (dukkha). I may maintain that I am depressed because that is how I am. The truth is that there is no real 'rich business man self', the idea or concept has be born through my ignorance of taking myself to be defined by my situation. There is no self which 'owns' depression. All situations or phenomena are arising interdependently i.e. objectively and hence there is not a subject or a self (as you pointed out) only arising and falling (anicca).
This is my own understanding, subject to improvement, but I hope it adds to the topic.
PS: Thanks Sam for clarifying your question was different than my own above.

Hill has Marlins focused on finer points of fielding
By Joe Frisaro / MLB.com
JUPITER, Fla. -- Not much goes unnoticed when Perry Hill is conducting infield drills at Marlins camp.
Regarded as a fielding "guru," Hill seemingly has eyes everywhere, checking for proper footwork and if the infielders are funneling the ball into their gloves.
Each impressive play is met with a loud scream of, "Stop it!"
"Stop it!" coming from Hill is a good thing.
"You hear that voice just yelling, 'Stop it!' after every good play," first baseman Garrett Jones said. "He's loving it when you make a good play and the throw is on the money."
Jones, the Marlins' new first baseman, is already quite familiar with Hill. They were together in Pittsburgh in 2009. In Hill's lone season with the Pirates, Jones led the Majors with a .988 fielding percentage -- a bright spot for a club that lost 99 games.
"Just his intensity and his passion about defense, it rubs off on you as a player," Jones said. "Every time he shows you a drill or shows you what he wants to do, it's with a lot of energy. It resonates. He gets you thinking defense, defense, defense, and how important it is to winning ballgames."
Pitching and defense are two key components for the Marlins.
Under Hill's guidance, the club feels their infield is in good hands.
"We've got one of the best infield instructors right here," Rafael Furcal said. "He has us working every day hard. He is showing me a lot of little tricks."
Furcal, 36, is one of the oldest players on the team. He's also making a switch from shortstop to second base.
The industry recognizes the impact Hill, the club's first-base coach, has defensively.
Before Spring Training, the Boston Globe ran a story ranking the best big league coaches. Input was taken from general managers, players, writers and other coaches. Hill, nicknamed Bone, was recognized as the best infield coach in the game.
Ed Lucas credits Hill for helping him adapt to all four infield positions.
"He breaks it down right down to the very basics," Lucas said. "When I got called up last year and they told me I would be playing a lot of different positions, we went around the infield early every day.
"With Bone, you don't just jump into taking ground balls. You're going to sit down, and he's going to tell you what he wants from the very beginning of every single stage to taking a ground ball, beginning with your stance. There is no detail that goes unnoticed or untalked about with him."
Moran continues success vs. Canes in spring opener
JUPITER, Fla. -- In his first Spring Training exhibition on Wednesday afternoon, Colin Moran faced a familiar opponent in the Miami Hurricanes.
Moran, taken sixth overall in last year's First-Year Player Draft, played his college ball at the University of North Carolina. Three times a year the third baseman went up against the Hurricanes, and there was a chance for more matchups in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament.
Regarded as one of the best third baseman in the country last year, Moran did more damage against UM in his spring debut for the Marlins. The club's fourth-ranked prospect had a hit and a walk, scored a run and drove in another in the Marlins' 5-2 victory at Roger Dean Stadium.
Defensively, Moran recorded the final out of the game, leaving the bases loaded for the Hurricanes. Jacob Heyward lifted a soft liner that was headed into short left field, but Moran made an over-the-shoulder, backhanded grab, securing the ball and an exhibition victory.
"When I landed, I was making sure it was in my glove and the game was over," Moran said.
Manager Mike Redmond saw Moran play in the Arizona Fall League. Spring Training gives him a chance to get even a closer look at the 21-year-old.
"I like to get these guys right into the fire and get them at-bats at the big league level as soon as possible and see what they can do," Redmond said. "This is a great opportunity for a lot of our young guys, and Moran, obviously, is our No. 1 pick. He did a nice job. He made a great play at the end, really to save the game."
In camp as a non-roster invitee, Moran is expected to open the season at either Class A Advanced Jupiter or Double-A Jacksonville. But he is regarded as the third baseman of the future.
The Marlins brought in Casey McGehee to start at third base this season. Jeff Baker offers depth at the position.
"I'm just approaching it like anything else," Moran said. "I'm trying to do my job and learn from the other guys and just get better."
Aside from some pregame jitters, Moran had some familiarity with a number of UM players. His hit, a single to left, was off Javi Salas, a right-hander Moran previously faced while at North Carolina.
"This really is just an opportunity for him to go out there, get comfortable, and get relaxed," Redmond said. "I like the fact that he came out today and took advantage of his opportunity."
Infection delays Alvarez's Grapefruit League debut
JUPITER, Fla. -- Marlins right-hander Henderson Alvarez, initially scheduled to start on Sunday, will miss several days due to a right shin infection.
The infection had been bothering Alvarez for a couple of days, and when he wasn't seeing improvement, he went to the hospital to have it treated and drained.
"He's obviously down for a few days," manager Mike Redmond said. "He had to have it cleaned out. We're expecting him to be fine in a couple of days. He's probably out at least for three or four days."
Alvarez pitched live batting practice on Saturday. He wasn't in camp Sunday because he was feeling under the weather due to the infection.
Projected as the Marlins' third starter, Alvarez was scheduled to make his Grapefrut League debut Sunday against the Nationals in Viera, Fla. Lefty Brad Hand will now make that start.
Of the pitchers in camp, Alvarez entered Spring Training having already logged some innings while playing Winter Ball in Venezuela. He threw 23 innings in the offseason, which gave him a headstart on some other pitchers in terms of building up arm strength.
Last year, Alvarez's first with the Marlins, he opened the season on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation. He made 17 starts, posted a 3.59 ERA and capped an otherwise rough year for the Marlins by tossing a no-hitter against the Tigers in the season finale.
With the infection being treated so early in camp, the Marlins are confident Alvarez will have plenty of time to get ready for the season.
"It shouldn't affect him," Redmond said. "He obviously won't make that start on Sunday, but he's pitched quite a bit. It shouldn't affect him as far as how much time it will take him to bounce back. He will get his pitches in and get him ramped up for Opening Day."
Worth noting
Justin Nicolino will get the start at 1:05 p.m. ET on Thursday against Florida International University. The Marlins are expected to play regulars Giancarlo Stanton or Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
Jose Fernandez will start the first Grapefruit League game Friday at 1:05 p.m. against the Cardinals at Roger Dean Stadium, where the Marlins will be the visiting team at the ballpark they share with St. Louis.
On Saturday, the Marlins have a split squad. Nathan Eovaldi will start in Jupiter against the Cardinals at 1:05 p.m. Kevin Slowey will get the nod five minutes later, on the road against the Mets in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
Brad Hand will start Sunday at 1:05 p.m. against the Nationals in Viera, Fla.

Tuesday, August 30, 2011 - David and Honza
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Honza Copak and David Kadera, two wonderful looking guys are the stars of this scene. We see Honza first, as he walks into a derelict castle. Climbing up some stairs and looking around he peers out of a window and sees David Kadera busy working. As he watches David, with his muscles rippling as he works, Honza starts to feel himself and then removes his top and opens his pants so that he can wank himself as he watches. Honza whistles and steps away from the window, David hears the whistle and looks to see where it came from, he cant see anyone so he goes to investigate. He climbs through the building and comes across Honza, whereupon he steals up on him and starts to feel his body. Honza turns around and they start to kiss until David drops to his knees and takes Honza's throbbing cock in his mouth. David is a great sucker and works Honza's cock, slapping his ass as he does so. As he sucks it is clear that David is rock hard too, and he stands to reveal his cock to Honza, who takes it in his hand. Then they kiss as their cocks stand there resplendent in their hardness. David takes both cocks in one hand and wanks them together. Then he sits on a bench and Honza goes down on his knees to suck on David's cock. Two muscular guys looking great together as Honza works on David's stiff member. David then lays on the bench and Honza climbs on top of him so they can 69. Next David is on his knees with Honza rimming his hard, muscled ass, getting his tongue deep in that hole. Very soon Honza wants more and fucks his rock hard dick deep into David's willing ass, pounding his hole hard and fast. David is great bottom and really knows how to take Honza's cock, all the way. David's cock is rock hard as his ass is being slammed. Soon they change position so that David can sit on Honza's cock and really ride it. He looks great bouncing on that dick, with his massive body looking perfect as he does it. The guys then move to a missionary position for more fucking. Honza working his cock deep into David's hole, with David holding his legs apart to give greater access. He wants that cock as deep as it can go. Honza builds up the pace so he is fucking real fast until David cant hold back and shoots his load, over his body. Honza keeps fucking and then pulls out and cums over David's face and then David takes the cock in his mouth to make sure every drop is spent, bring a fabulous scene to a very good ending.
Radek Pacan is aged 19 years and lives in Prague. He is a student who likes playstation, fitness and table tennis in his spare time. Radek is a good looking redhead, with freckles. He speaks very good English, as you can hear in his interview. He looks good as he sits on the floor, and begins to unbutton his shirt, revealing his chest, with a smattering of hair and an unshaved belly. Radek starts to feel his body, slipping his hand into his white jeans and then beginning to undo his belt. Continuing to caress himself Radek opens the jeans and dips his hand inside. Then he sits and lets us explore him, raising his arm to kiss his bicep, allowing us a view of a nice unshaved pit. Then, standing, Radek allows us a first view of his rock hard cock, as he plays with it a little. It is standing nicely to attention surrounded by a nice red bush. Radek pushes his pants down a little, so we can see his hairy legs too. His cock stays at attention as we watch him. He turns around to show us his cute ass too, using a hand to spread the cheeks so that we can get tbe best of views. I must say it certainly is a most enticing view. Next we see Radek laying on the bed, wanking himself as a helping hand arrives, with some oil. The hands oil Radek's feet and legs and work up to his big stiff cock. Oil is applied and the hands start to wank Radek who lifts his legs to expose his hole for us. The hands waste no time of getting to work on the ass as well, rubbing oil over it, and feeling the hole. Then a vibrator appears and is presented to Radek's hole. That is a trigger for Radek, the small vibration is enough to make him blow a nice big load, even before the vibrator has pushed into his ass. As his spent cock begins to recede the vibrator slides into his ass for a little play. Then another look at his sticky, spent dick before Radek goes to the shower. Once in the shower Radek needs a piss before washing himself. What a lovely shoot, Radek looks great and it is so nice to see a guy pop his load at the slightest vibration on his ass.
Karel Vlastik and Adam Pisarik came together for an excellent scene. Starting with Karel nibbling on Adam's ear as part of a game. Adam then throws the dice and has to kiss Karel. Another throw sees Karel kissing on Adam's nipples, then Adam has to nibble Karel's ears too. Karel is rubbing his cock thru his undies as this happens. Then he must play with Karels nipples again, which he does, leading to the guys kissing and forgetting about the game. They kiss and rub each other's bodies and Adam takes hold of Karel's big stiff cock and begins to suck it, while Karel reaches over and feel Adam too. He takes the cock out of Adam's briefs and starts to wank it and then the guys move into a 69. We get a great view of the sucking and of Karels beautiful ass as the go at it. Adam certainly has a big dick and Karel does a great job of working on it, before pulling his legs up and rimming his ass. Karel is ready for more than this so Adam sits on Karel's throbbing cock and begins to ride it. It is great to see him bouncing up and down on Karel's cock and his own cock windmilling as he does it. Then the guys change to a spoon position and Karel really plows Adam's ass nice and deep, and hard. Another change, to missionary, see Karel continue to fuck, while Adam jack his own cock. Karel pulls out and moves up to Adam's face so he can shoot his creamy load there, and Adam takes the spent cock into his mouth to clean it off, and then Adam cums too, shooting the load out of his big fat cock. Karel goes down on that cock for a final suck before a final kiss brings a wonderful scene to its end.
Karel Tichy is from Prague and is aged 18. He works as an electrician and likes sports, football, fitness and spending time with his friends. Karel has a beautiful face and a nice body too. He looks splendid in this shoot, with some lovely poses as he strips off and displays his wares. His cock stands very well to attention and he certianly knows how to spread his ass. This is a very nice shoot indeed.

BERLIN – It was a solemn
first day back to school for Stephen Decatur High School students this week,
many of whom took time away from campus to attend funeral services for one of
their classmates tragically killed in a single vehicle accident on Route 50
last Thursday just days before the start of a new school year.
Balloons, flowers,
stuffed animals, a religious cross and other mementos this week marked the site
of the accident on Route 50 just east of Route 589 early last Thursday morning.
Around 1 a.m. last Thursday, Maryland State Police troopers responded to a
reported fatal motor vehicle accident on Route 50.
Upon arrival on the
scene, troopers interviewed a witness who told them the driver of the 2002 Ford
Explorer, later identified as Jessica Lauren Petsche, 17, of Berlin, had
swerved, left the roadway and rolled over multiple times. The investigation
revealed Petsche had just completed work at her job for the night and was on
her way home at the time of the accident.
News of the accident
stunned the entire community around Decatur,
where Petsche was a member of the National Honor Society. She was also a
competitive gymnast and was a member of the school's varsity cheerleading and
tennis teams.
Services were held on
Tuesday at her home parish at St. John Neuman Catholic Church in Ocean Pines.
There are currently two sources to which friends and family can make donations.
The first is the Jessica Petsche Memorial Fund, care of Stephen Decatur
High School, 9913 Seahawk Rd., Berlin,
Md. 21811.
The other is being
handled by Twisters Gymnastics in Berlin
where Petsche trained and competed. Donations can be made at Twisters
Gymnastics in Berlin
or at the Farmer's Bank in Willards.

The laptop is barely warm, but the fans are kicking at almost 100%, all the time
I haven't used Windows on this PC for ages, and I don't know if maybe that's the normal behavior. But it feels as if the fans are way too aggressive.
I think I saw someone mentioning fan control in one of the threads here. Is it a common issue?
I have an AMD based laptop with Mint 13 (Mate).
The problem might as well be a high CPU usage... But why?
With minimized "System Monitor", minimized "Terminal" and just a full screen "Firefox" the CPU usage seems very high...

A baby carrier can be a lifesaver if you're a new parent. When you're exhausted or you just need to get a few things done, it can make all the difference in your day. If you're on your second, third or in my case 4th child, a good carrier is a necessity if you want to be able to take care of the new baby and still function for your family. If your carrier is secure, comfortable and easy to use, you're so much more likely to use it, get your hands back and still keep your baby close, whether it's just to make your two year old a snack or get out of the house. A carrier can also make it easy to feed your baby on the go if you're breastfeeding or calm a screaming baby so that everyone can get a break. With a newborn a huge plus is being able to easily move that no longer screaming, finally sleeping baby from the carrier. If you can find a carrier that allows you to do all of this and more, it is an absolute keeper.
The Morph really is easy to use and very comfortable to wear. It offers superb adjustability for your baby, so that your newborn can have the perfect level of head support and the correct leg an arm positioning that can be adjusted as they grow. Once your baby has sufficient head control you can either fold the headrest down for more freedom or turn your baby around to face out and see the world. The pod is really made with a baby's comfort in mind with breathable fabric and padded leg holes. A washable bib is included that stores in the harness, which can be used facing in or out to protect you or your carrier from all of those lovely things that tend to spill forth from a new baby. For further protection, or just a bit of color, you can add one of the liners. The harness is surprisingly easy to adjust to a perfect fit and the whole package offers a very secure feeling, so you always feel like your baby is safe. The unique hand sleeve on the front of the pod makes it easier to securely transfer the pod on and off and is another example of the superb attention to detail. It is possible to leave the Pod in place once you're adjusted properly if you want to pop your child, especially an older one, in and out. I didn't get a chance to test this carrier with a newborn, though I really wish it had been available much sooner so that I could have used it with my 4 when they were smaller. I did, however, test it with both my 18 month old and my 2 year old (32 months), facing in and out and it was very comfortable with both despite the fact that they are both just under the top weight limit. Many carriers that are perfect for newborns become uncomfortable well before the baby hits 20 pounds, but the Morph should take you through to the weight limit with ease. It's more likely that your baby will want out of the carrier before he or she can no longer fit.
Obviously, most important is how a carrier functions, but it never hurts if you can look good even when you have a baby strapped to your chest.The very modern design offers a bit of style to go with all those fabulous features, so this is one carrier that anyone will wear comfortably in every way. The Morph doesn't just look cool, which it does, it functions as amazingly as it looks. This is a fantastic carrier.
Please visit the Mamas & Papas site for more details and to watch the fabulous video that show you this great carrier in action and be sure to visit their new US Facebook page for their Facebook sweepstakes, running through June 20, 2011, offering 10 chances to win up to $5,000 in Mamas & Papas products and gift cards valued at $250 and $500 at Babies R Us.

A cartoonish look at life...
I lost a dear friend of mine a couple of weeks back. I have known him all my life. We went back so far we were practically inseparable. I cannot tell you how many times over the years we'd sit down and chew the fat. But he was in pain and it was getting worse. I took him to the doctor but the prognosis was not good. My friend didn't have long. It would only get worse. To get to the root of the problem would have been risky at best. This opinion was also confirmed by another doctor, a local, highly respected surgeon. In the end all he could do was to try to take something to relieve the pain. Eventually he went peacefully in his sleep, numb to the pain. I too felt the pain of his loss and could hardly eat for a couple of days. I have been told that each day will get a little easier and the pain of the loss will eventually subside. Those are indeed wise words. They say wisdom comes with age, but sometimes it goes with age too...and that's the tooth.

The first thing to do is to make sure you are turning it clockwise. The next step is to determine if it is already open. Sometimes, with a new OPD, there is a shallow rise from OPEN to CLOSED. It might look closed but may have been shipped open. Since gas won't come out unless a tank with an OPD is hooked to an appliance, it won't leak. And IF the tank is hooked up to a grill that was turned to the ON position, it may have "shut down" when it was hooked up just like what happens in the improper grill lighting procedure. In this case the gas suddenly is released to go forward and the valve detects that it is going too fast so if shuts itself down. The remedy: shut everything off, wait one minute, open the tank valve, turn the grill to the LIGHT position, attempt to light.
If the valve is still stuck, a small bit of oil applied to the stem will help loosen it up.
Do NOT use a wrench since too much torque may result in the valve coming apart.
Yes. NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) has enacted code 58-188.8.131.52 which states that only tanks with overfill protection devices (OPD) can be refilled effective April 1, 2002. This code has been adopted as law by dozens of states across the country, and is also being enforced in many communities regardless of acceptance of the code at the state level.
Every year thousands of propane tanks are overfilled at refill centers. Since overfilled tanks can be dangerous, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has enacted code 58-184.108.40.206. In summary, it states:
Tanks with round- or star-shaped handwheels do not contain OPDs and are obsolete. Tanks with triangular shaped handwheels contain OPDs and are OK to use. The propane industry estimates there could be up to 50 million non-OPD tanks in operation in the US.
Some retailers elect to spread the upgrade costs across all their exchange transactions so no one has to pay a large upgrade fee.
Other retailers only charge upgrades to consumers that have obsolete tanks. Thus consumers with OPD tanks are provided the lowest cost exchange available.
That label caution refers to spare or extra tanks, or if you store your grill indoors. Your tank is perfectly safe when stored beside your grill.
We recommend that you store tanks in a shaded or cool ventilated area. Do not bring your tank indoors. Storage outside of buildings should be located a least 5 feet (1.5 M) from any doorway or opening.
No. Always refer back to the instructions stating that the tank must be stored, transported and used in the vertical position.
Turn the tank off for 15 minutes, making sure to disconnect it and turn it OFF. When turning the tank back on, only turn the handwheel one complete rotation. DO NOT turn the handwheel all the way until it stops! This causes frost and may also cause the hand wheel to break off.
The US Department of Transportation (DOT) prohibits the distribution of tanks older than 12 years. Look for a date stamp on or near the collar of the tank. The date (month & year of re-qualification inspection) is usually stamped on the edge of the tank collar.
Tanks without unacceptable defects are good for up to 12 years from date of manufacture. A visual re-qualification is good for 5-years, assuming no defect occurs that would render that tank unacceptable subsequent to the re-qualification inspection.
The appliance regulator will typically reduce the tank to anywhere from 1/2 psi to about 2 psi, depending on the size of the appliance and its BTU rating. Regulators are rated according to use. Usually, you can find the rated pressure on the side of the appliance regulator.
According to NFPA 58, for a tank with 20 pounds of gas, at -
It is worth noting that tanks equipped with OPDs hold only about 17 pounds of fuel, which results in lower pressures at the above temperatures.
For further assistance, please call our Customer Care Center at 1.800.BLU.RINO.>
Old regulators should work satisfactorily with the new ACME OPD valves assuming that the appliance rating in BTUs does not exceed 100,000 BTU's per hour. If the appliance has a maximum output rating of over 100,000 BTUs per hour, the smaller orifices in the design of the ACME OPD valve may result in some restrictions in the vapor flow from the tank. A regulator that is not working properly shouldbe replaced with a new one.
According to the Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet V-1, the "nipple" may vary in length from 1.087 inches to .884 inches.
The BTUs per hour is a rating associated with an appliance. For example, on an outdoor grill, the "higher" the setting of the grill burner knobs, the greater the demand in BTUs per hour on the cylinder. The "lower" the setting on the burner knobs, the lower the demand in BTU's per hour. A single gallon of propane should last approximately 3 hours if the demand is 30,000 BTUs per hour. It should last approximately 4.5 hours if the demand were reduced to 20,000 BTUs per hour.
The pressure within the tank is dependent upon the ambient temperature of the propane within the tank. Typically, on a 70-degree F. day, the propane may have a pressure of approximately 145 psi. To help ensure safe operation of the appliance burner(s), a regulator is provided at the inlet to the appliance to maintain a steady pressure of about 2 psi to the burner(s).
For further assistance, please call our Customer Care Center at 1.800.BLU.RINO
Propane converts from liquid to vapor form by absorbing heat from the surrounding surfaces of the tank. When unusually high vapor withdrawal demands are placed on the cylinder (such as when used on a very high BTU rated appliance), the rapid heat absorption may cause a frost line to form on the cylinder wall or ice to form on the inside of the service valve. This condition can usually be avoided by matching the cylinder size with the appliance BTU rating. For example, a typical 20lb grill cylinder may show the above signs of "freezing" if an attempt is made to use it to supply a "weed burner" torch which may have a BTU rating of over 150,000 BTUs per hour.
At Blue Rhino, we recycle millions of propane tanks each year, striving to ensure that they can be used safely in America's backyards. Our state of the art production processes includes multiple steps where we inspect, test, and leak check each and every tank we receive.
As a part of that, our staff of propane professionals is trained on how to identify a propane tank that may have been used in methamphetamine production. Watching for these tanks is part of our process. If we do encounter a tank that we suspect has been used in that manner, we immediately contact hazardous materials response units to properly dispose of the tank.
We encounter a very, very low amount of tanks used in meth production – just a handful out of millions each year. More than likely, anyone engaged in an illegal activity like that will be reluctant to bring their tanks to an exchange center.
By far the vast majority of propane tanks do what they are intended to do, which is to provide safe fuel for outdoor fun.
Grillers can feel confident that when they need gas for their grill or other propane appliance, Blue Rhino is not only a convenient choice but also a safe choice.
For more information, visit http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/methtank.asp.
Here are some important safety tips to keep in mind when using your grill:
Please keep these important propane tank tips in mind at all times:
During periods of inclement weather when there is a possibility of power failures, propane fueled heaters and grills can ensure you have a reliable source of heat and cooking. Demand for our product spikes after storms strike, so if a storm approaches, check to make sure you have enough propane on hand. Plus, don't forget to be prepared for severe weather with these items:
Because grill manufacturers no longer make grills with QDC connections, cylinder valve manufacturers are following suit. As a result, QDC valves are increasingly rare and therefore difficult for cylinder exchange providers to obtain. However, you can get a special adapter for your grill. Please contact your grill manufacturer or check the grill department.
The OPD is located inside the tank. A specially calibrated float activates to stop the flow of gas into the tank before an unsafe fill level is reached. Valves with triangular shaped handwheels are OK.
Inflationary pressures, including the volatile costs of steel, diesel fuel, and propane, have had a significant impact on the cylinder exchange industry. In 2008, to help control these rising costs, Blue Rhino followed the example of other consumer products companies with a product content change. We reduced the amount of propane in our tanks from 17 pounds to 15 pounds.
To ensure our consumers are properly notified, Blue Rhino clearly marks the amount of propane contained in our tanks, right on the package.
Blue Rhino – The Best Way to Fuel Your Cookout
Blue Rhino has always been an important part of your grilling experience. That's a commitment we take very seriously.
Blue Rhino tanks include more than just propane. Every tank is cleaned, safety and leak checked, and includes important safety information. When necessary, tanks are refurbished and outdated parts are replaced, extending the useful life of each and every tank. Then we deliver these tanks to a store near you, so it is convenient and ready whenever you need fuel. See "What's Under Your Grill?" to learn more.

I have reached a new low in my programming experience. I have been 2 days without programming, and I cant figure out what to program.
Does anyone have any ideas on something fun I could program. Im sure someone has been through this before :).
Its like I am at a point where my knowledge (lack of) is holding me back.

Resource Management Planning
Supplemental information:
As described in the process steps these data were created on a regular grid of latitude/longitude to depict the 1:100,000 quadrangles covering Oregon and Washington and the surrounding areas as defined in North American Datum 1927 (NAD27). Due to the fact the dataset was originally created in NAD27 the values of coordinates defining the corners of the quads will only be those of the definition in the original datum. Once data is projected to a different datum the values will be correctly modified mathematically to reflect the change to the new projection. These quads show the approximate extent of the USGS topographic quadrangles. Since this data is constructed from corner points with straight lines connecting the corners, it does not take into account the curve between corner points introduced by the use of the UTM projection used to produce the topoquad maps. Thus this dataset is only a depiction of the extent of the topoquad. The corners of each of these quadrangles should align with the NAD27 ticks displayed on USGS topoquads in any projection used.

Metadata Standards
Description of the metadata standard used to document the data and reference to any additional extended profiles to the standard used by the metadata producer.
Standard name: FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata
Standard version: FGDC-STD-001-1998
Time convention: local time
FGDC Plus Metadata Stylesheet
Stylesheet: FGDC Plus Stylesheet
File name: FGDC Plus.xsl
Version: 2.0
Description: This metadata is displayed using the FGDC Plus Stylesheet, which is an XSL template that can be used with ArcGIS software to display metadata. It displays metadata elements defined in the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) - aka FGDC Standard, the ESRI Profile of CSDGM, the Biological Data Profile of CSDGM, and the Shoreline Data Profile of CSDGM. CSDGM is the US Federal Metadata standard. The Federal Geographic Data Committee originally adopted the CSDGM in 1994 and revised it in 1998. According to Executive Order 12096 all Federal agencies are ordered to use this standard to document geospatial data created as of January, 1995. The standard is often referred to as the FGDC Metadata Standard and has been implemented beyond the federal level with State and local governments adopting the metadata standard as well. The Biological Data Profile broadens the application of the CSDGM so that it is more easily applied to biological data that are not explicitly geographic (laboratory results, field notes, specimen collections, research reports) but can be associated with a geographic location. Includes taxonomical vocabulary. The Shoreline Data Profile addresses variability in the definition and mapping of shorelines by providing a standardized set of terms and data elements required to support metadata for shoreline and coastal data sets. The FGDC Plus Stylesheet includes the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. It supports W3C DOM compatible browsers such as IE7, IE6, Netscape 7, and Mozilla Firefox. It is in the public domain and may be freely used, modified, and redistributed. It is provided "AS-IS" without warranty or technical support.
Instructions: On the top of the page, click on the title of the dataset to toggle opening and closing of all metadata content sections or click section links listed horizontally below the title to open individual sections. Click on a section name (e.g. Description) to open and close section content. Within a section, click on a item name (Status, Key Words, etc.) to open and close individual content items. By default, the Citation information within the Description section is always open for display.

Hi. I have always wondered what is the prehistoric ancestor of the Great white shark. I know know one knows for surtain, but what is your opinion?
Personally, I think the prehistoric ancestor is Isurus Hastalis. I think this because the great white shark teeth and isurus Hastalis teeth are almost identical, apart from Great white teeth have serrations are Isurus Hastalis doesn't. In my opinion, great white teeth and Megalodon teeth look completely different, which I think suggests they are not related.
What do you think?
Here are some pictures of some of the Megalodon teeth which I have in my collection. The huge one is almost 6", and it would have been 6 and a half if it hadn't of had that feeding damage! The one on the bottom right hand corner is a pathologic Megalodon tooth (I have included a close up image of the pathology), and the one at the top is not a Megalodon tooth but the Megalodons ancestor, Angustidens.
Hi. I got my huge megalodon tooth today. Here are some pictures.
Wow! how big is it Dan? looks a stunner.
It is almost 6" , but if it was whole it would have been 6 and 5 8th ".
They don't come much bigger, very nice.
Thanks tabfish.
Thats an intertesting question Dan I found this link I thought you might find it interesting
Thanks for the link.

Nearly a month ago, Blockbuster made it public that it offered to acquire Circuit City for $6 to $8 per share, resulting in a potential buy of up to $1.35 billion.
Blockbuster made the offer known to the outside after it felt that Circuit City had not provided due diligence necessary to allow for a definitive proposal, perhaps as a sign of the retailer's resistance to a possible acquisition.
Some questioned Blockbuster's ability to finance such a deal, but the rental giant's largest investor and billionaire Carl Icahn agreed to backup such a deal in a public letter to Blockbuster chairman and CEO Jim Keyes, squashing monetary concerns.
Keyes wrote in a letter to Circuit City chief Philip J. Schoonover regarding Icahn's support, paving the way for the acquisition. "Since our announcement, your shareholders have indicated strongly to us their desire to pursue such a transaction," read the letter from Keyes. "We have now satisfied your remaining condition to our being provided access to due diligence materials and trust that it will be made available to us promptly."
With the money in place, Circuit City is finally loosening its grip and opening it books for Blockbuster to review. Goldman Sachs & Co. was hired to explore strategic alternatives, partly to ease investor concerns and constant motions to allow acquisition.
"The board is taking its fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders seriously," Circuit City spokesman Bill Cimino said in an AP story. "These actions today, the board felt, were in the shareholders' best interest."
Blockbuster commented in a statement, "While it is our hope that the due diligence process will reinforce both the strategic and financial rationale behind the deal, we are committed to only doing a transaction that provides substantial benefits for our shareholders."
Shares of Circuit City jumped 28 cents to $5.07 – still below the buyout offer of $6 to $8 a share – while Blockbuster stock dropped 2 cents to $2.66.

Former President Bill Clinton emphasized the need for cooperation among countries and political leaders Monday night even as he praised the city in front of a packed St. Augustine Amphitheatre.
Clinton was the first president or vice president, current or former, to speak in St. Augustine in nearly 50 years, and he did it before a receptive audience of baby boomers, many loyal Democrats, some disappointed Republicans and several state and local leaders. Lyndon Johnson, then the vice president, was in St. Augustine in 1963.
"Wow, I walked in and saw this crowd and thought: How many people think they are here to see Tony Bennett?" he said to laughter. Bennett is to perform at the Amphitheatre today.
He went on to speak highly of Bennett, before saying "You all are stuck with me."
Among the crowd was former presidential candidate George McGovern, who got a standing ovation from the crowd, as well as former Gov. and Sen. Bob Graham, St. Augustine Mayor Joe Boles and Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown. McGovern lives in St. Augustine during the winter.
As a preface to remarks that would range from the Human Genome Project to China's water challenges, Clinton spoke about the history of St. Augustine and what he said was his excitement at visiting the city.
"I've been like a kid with a new toy, in anticipation of coming to St. Augustine," he said. He said he even left early so he could "drive around town" and see it.
Then he stepped in it. Or so it seemed.
"I know you all are coming up on the 50th anniversary ...," the audience interrupted him, and some booed a little, thinking he meant the upcoming 450th celebration of the city's founding.
"Now, wait, let me finish," he said, with composure. And he went on to speak about the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights movement here, which is coming up in 2014.
He also mentioned the monument to the liberal Spanish constitution of 1812 in the Plaza de la Constitucion in downtown St. Augustine and Fort Mose, the first free black settlement in the nation.
"Before the Underground Railroad, the only sure route to freedom was down here," Clinton said. "They would give you land ... if you agreed to defend St. Augustine. You should be very proud."
Calls for respect
But as his speech progressed, he kept coming back again to the terms "global interdependence" and the need to cooperate with other countries. And he spoke often about the need for political parties here to respect opponents and work together.
"We need to spend less time talking about what we disagree about," he said. He said his mission through the Clinton Foundation was to "increase the positive forces of interdependence."
He said the country's political system has grown "long in the tooth" and needed reform though "we are young because of our capacity for renewal and continuous change."
And the political climate? Too contentious.
"When you get mad, you stop thinking," Clinton said. "And every election seems designed to get you as mad as can be. We don't need 'mad.'"
Instead, "building a future for America is a team sport," Clinton said. "And we need to start acting like that."
He also mentioned genetic mapping.
"We are 99 1/2 percent the same (genetically). But we spend 99 percent of our time worrying about the 1/2 percent that's different," He said to applause. "Before you get too carried away, we're all guilty."
After the speech, which garnered a standing ovation, St. Johns County Council On Aging Executive Director Cathy Brown asked him questions.
The questions had been vetted beforehand and ran the gamut from education to sexism, and Clinton seemed to have a lot to say about both.
Early literacy is key
In his comments on education, he focused on early literacy.
"The key to learning other subjects is being able to read," Clinton said.
And as far as charter schools, a hot topic for Florida, he said he supported "public schools and charter schools both if they are succeeding.
"I like charter schools but they're no better than public schools that are failing if they are not held accountable."
But in terms of education as a system, "There is no silver bullet," he said.
Brown lobbed another question: What did he think "as the father of a daughter" about what she called a backlash against women?
He said he didn't like Rush Limbaugh's epithet in describing a Georgetown law student.
"And I didn't like it when sexual remarks were made by liberal media toward (vice presidential candidate) Sarah Palin," Clinton said.
He said he saw sexism everywhere in his travels, and that the case here was more like a "low grade fever" compared to rampant disease in other areas.
"There's a sense among males that somehow if they can't tell women what to do, they aren't real men. There are still people who psychologically think they are not real man if they can't tell some woman what to do."
Then he paused.
"They should try it in my house," he said, to laughs.
And he talked about his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and her unsuccessful bid for the Democratic Presidential nomination.
"We need to be a model for the world and we need to be careful before we attribute a gender term to someone we disagree with," he said.
According to Clinton:
The country and globe face three big, negative challenges:
n The world is too unequal
n Too unstable
n The current trend toward expansion is not sustainable.
Among his solutions:
Increase the positive forces of interdependence.
"Now, it didn't surprise Hillary and Chelsea that I was part Neanderthal. But they were shocked they were too." -- Former President Bill Clinton speaking about the Human Genome Project

I'd say in years past Bosh was extremely underappreciated by the fans, but this year I've noticed alot of the "naysayers" come around to acknowledge the vast improvements Chris has made.
I just think the fans that don't appreciated Bosh undervalue him immensely.
Source - Click hereThe losing, though, is the primary thing that keeps Bosh from universal love, and anybody who blames him for that is not watching closely enough. The Raptors have won just 43.7% of their regular-season games during Bosh's tenure with the team and zero playoff series. That falls on the players, the coaches and the builders that have surrounded Bosh.
Bosh has been criticized as a poor late-game scorer, but how many power forwards are asked to carry the crunch-time scoring load? He is not a shutdown defender, but he has never played with a top-tier defender at point guard or a shot-blocking centre. (Remember how good he looked defensively at the 2008 Olympics.)
He is not flawless, but a team that accentuates his skills has never surrounded him. If it had, he would have been beloved. Before the vitriol kicked in, Vince Carter was adored in this city and beyond, and his team won just a single playoff series.
"I don't feel underappreciated," Bosh said yesterday as his team prepared to play Charlotte tonight. "To be honest, I don't really care about attention anymore. Yeah, I was chasing it for a while. But it doesn't matter to me anymore. You put up your numbers. It's just all about winning at [some] point."
It is the right approach to take, as appreciation is not tangible. (He is, though, likely a tad underappreciated. Even his greatest detractors would place Bosh in the group of the 20 best players in the league today, no worse than second best in franchise history.)

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
Agreement with the Swiss Confederation
The importance of protecting the financial interests of the European Community (EC) efficiently does not end at the external frontiers of Member States. Criminals operate beyond the borders of the European Union (EU). Thus, measures must be taken to combat fraud and all other illegal activities affecting the financial interests of the EU by reinforcing administrative and judicial mutual assistance. On 22 February 2005, the European Parliament approved the conclusion of the cooperation agreement between the European Community and its Member States, on the one hand, and the Swiss Confederation on the other.
Council Decision 2009/127/EC of 18 December 2008 concerning the signature, on behalf of the European Community, of the Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Swiss Confederation, of the other part, to combat fraud and any other illegal activity to the detriment of their financial interests.
The agreement aims to extend administrative assistance and mutual judicial assistance in criminal matters between the European Community (EC) and Switzerland. With this decision, the Commission approves the agreement on behalf of the EC. Title I of the agreement deals with the general provisions applicable to the following two titles: administrative assistance (Title II) and mutual legal assistance (Title III). The last Title (IV) contains the final provisions. The Final Act contains a joint declaration on money laundering and on cooperation by the Swiss Confederation with Eurojust and, if possible, with the European Judicial Network, as well as an Agreed Minute to combat fraud and any other illegal activity to the detriment of the parties' financial interests.
Application of the agreement only to specific cases
The agreement is designed to combat fraud at every stage: administrative and criminal prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution and enforcement. However, it is only applicable in very specific cases, such as:
- trade in goods contrary to customs and agricultural legislation;
- trade contrary to tax legislation applicable to value added tax, special taxes on consumption and excise duties;
- the charging or retention of funds, such as grants and refunds, from the budget of the contracting parties or budgets managed by them or on their behalf, including their use for purposes other than those for which they were initially granted;
- procedures for the awarding of contracts by the contracting parties.
The agreement also provides for the seizure and recovery of amounts due or wrongly received as a result of the illegal activities referred to above. Administrative or judicial assistance may not be withheld on the ground that the request relates to an offence treated as a tax offence by one of the parties. The same is true if the legislation of one party does not provide for the same type of levy or expenditure or does not contain the same type of rules or legal characterisation.
In minor cases, however, the competent authorities may refuse a request for cooperation. These are cases where the amounts of un-paid or evaded duty do not exceed EUR 25 000or where the value of any goods concerned does not exceed EUR 100 000. Cooperation may also be withheld if the requested party considers that execution of the request would be contrary to its sovereignty, security, public policy or other vital interests. The text also includes other possibilities for refusing a request, for example if the number of requests imposes disproportionate administrative burdens.
The scope of the agreement includes laundering of the proceeds of the illegal activities covered by it, provided the activities are punishable under the law of the two contracting parties (custodial sentence or measure restricting freedom for more than six months).
Direct taxes are excluded from the scope of the agreement.
Reinforcing administrative assistance between the European Union and Switzerland
The agreement does not affect obligations arising from other agreements, in particular the Additional Protocol on mutual administrative assistance in customs matters of 9 June 1997. The authorities of the contracting parties apply the agreement within the limits of the powers conferred upon them by their domestic law. Each party designates a central unit to process requests for administrative assistance.
The agreement contains provisions on the form and content of requests for assistance. Among others, it covers requests for information, surveillance and investigations.
However, spontaneous assistance without prior request is also possible. In that case, the authority transmitting the information may, in accordance with its domestic law, attach conditions to the use of the information.
Special forms of cooperation
In order to implement the agreement effectively, special forms of cooperation are provided for:
- joint cross-border operations on imports, exports or transit of goods, when the financial interests of one of the contracting parties are at risk;
- joint special investigation teams;
- liaison officers that may be seconded to the competent departments of the other contracting parties.
Supplementing existing agreements on mutual judicial assistance
The purpose of the agreement is to supplement the European Convention on mutual assistance in criminal matters of 20 April 1959 and the Convention on laundering, search, seizure and confiscation of the proceeds from crime of 8 November 1990, as well as to facilitate their application between the contracting parties. The two conventions were signed under the aegis of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. The agreement also ensures that more favourable provisions of bilateral or multilateral agreements between the contracting parties are not affected.
Judicial assistance under the agreement is given:
- in proceedings for offences that are punishable under the domestic law of at least one of the contracting parties as infringements of rules of law. It must be possible for such infringements to give rise to proceedings before a court having jurisdiction in criminal matters;
- in civil actions joined to criminal proceedings, as long as the criminal court has not given a final judgement;
- for facts or offences for which a legal person of the requesting contracting party may be liable;
- for the purposes of investigations and proceedings for the seizure and confiscation of the instruments and products of the illegal activities.
The agreement details the steps to be followed for the transmission of requests (letters rogatory), which includes service by post. The authorities of the requesting contracting party may be authorised to attend the execution of the request for judicial assistance, but their presence does not require the consent of the person concerned by the measure. Conditions may be attached to the authorisation. The persons present, however, have access to the same premises and the same documents as the representatives of the other party, provided that judicial confidentiality is respected.
The agreement provides that letters rogatory for searches and seizures must not be dependent on conditions other than the following:
- that the act giving rise to the request is punishable under the law of both contracting parties by a penalty involving deprivation of liberty or a detention order of a maximum period of at least six months, or is punishable under the law of one party by an equivalent penalty and under the law of the other party as an infringement of the rules of law that is prosecuted by the administrative authorities where the decision may give rise to proceedings before a criminal court;
- that execution of the letters rogatory is consistent with the law of the party receiving the request for judicial assistance. As regards laundering offences covered by the agreement, letters rogatory for purposes of search and seizure are also admissible, provided that the activities making up the precursor offence are punishable under the law of the two parties by a penalty involving deprivation of liberty or a detention order of a maximum of more than six months.
Provision is also made for rules to speed up mutual assistance and the use of evidence.
Banking and financial information
The agreement also covers requests for banking and financial information where the conditions referred to above have been met. "Banking and financial information" includes information on bank accounts opened at banks established in the territory of one of the parties. The requester must state the reasons why the information requested is vital to the investigation. Banking secrecy is not a ground for rejecting all cooperation.
A joint committee, composed of representatives of the parties, is set up in order to apply the agreement and to settle any disputes between the parties. The Commission acts as the representative of the Community in this committee.

leads 49ers to wild-card win over Packers
Send a link to a friend
[January 06, 2014]
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Born in Milwaukee
and raised a Packers fan, Colin Kaepernick beat Green Bay for the third
time in 12 months, as the San Francisco 49ers rode their quarterback to
a 23-20 wild-card playoff victory at frigid Lambeau Field on Sunday.
Phil Dawson kicked a 33-yard field goal as time expired to deal
the Packers their third first-round playoff loss under coach Mike
"He can make all the throws," Packers defensive lineman B.J. Raji
said. "With the running, sometimes you have a free hitting like we
had all day in his face and he puts his foot in the ground and
before you know it, he's 15-20 yards down the field, and you're
sitting back like, what's going on? But you have to give him credit
for his mobility."
Kaepernick had 325 total yards, including 98 rushing yards, and he
sent the Packers home from the playoffs for the second straight
The reigning NFC champions set up a rematch with the Carolina
Panthers next Sunday in Charlotte. Carolina scratched out a 10-9
victory at San Francisco on Nov. 10. The 49ers ride a seven-game
winning streak into the divisional playoff meeting.
"We owe them one," Kaepernick said.
Kaepernick froze Green Bay's defense with a pump fake, tucked the
ball and scrambled to his left for the open field, gaining 11 yards
and a pivotal first down to the Packers' 27 on a third-and-6 play
with 1:07 to go.
"The unique part is how much ground he covers," 49ers coach Jim
Harbaugh said. "I think that's unique. I've never seen that before.
But he made some pretty clutch throws today too."
Kaepernick had seven carries for 98 yards and passed for 227 yards.
Wide receiver Michael Crabtree had eight receptions for 125 yards.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was sacked four times but
repeatedly pulled himself off the frozen turf to complete 17 of 26
passes for 177 yards.
"Very disappointing," Rodgers said. "Personally, it's frustrating
not to play your best game. Tough conditions. But defense holds them
to 23 points, we should win that game."
Just before the two-minute warning, Packers cornerback Micah Hyde
dropped a would-be interception that would have set Green Bay up on
the 49ers' side of midfield with two timeouts remaining. There was
nothing but open field in front of the rookie.
"It was just a drop. Nothing was to be thought about. I was there to
make the play and try to climb the ladder to get it and it slipped
out of my hands," Hyde said.
Dawson, who was 11-for-11 in the regular season, kicked his third
game-winner in his first season with the 49ers. It was nearly
blocked, but sailed through the outstretched arms of Packers
cornerback Davon House before angling inside the right upright.
"We were one play away from getting it done today," McCarthy said.
"This is what playoff football is all about."
The Packers tied the game 20-all with 5:09 remaining on Mason
Crosby's 24-yard field goal, the third score in a seven-minute span
in the fourth quarter following a scoreless third. Seven minutes
earlier, the Packers took a 17-13 lead on fullback John Kuhn's
second touchdown run of the season, a 1-yard plunge that capped a
12-play, 80-yard drive kept going by Rodgers' 26-yard connection
with wide receiver Randall Cobb on fourth-and-1 from the 49ers' 20.
That score was matched on San Francisco's next drive. With 10:31
left in the game, Kaepernick hit tight end Vernon Davis for a
28-yard touchdown for the fourth lead change in the game, staking
San Francisco to a 20-17 advantage. Davis was matched up in single
coverage against inside linebacker A.J. Hawk. Kaepernick's 24-yard
run down the left sideline set up the score.
[to top of second column]
"Everybody on the offense, when we had to make a play, we
did," 49ers running back Frank Gore said.
Rookie running back Eddie Lacy, who was limited to 41 yards in
his NFL debut at San Francisco in Week 1, had 21 carries for 81
yards by the middle of the fourth quarter but Green Bay's
offense didn't get another chance.
Crosby's 34-yard field goal as time expired in the first half
cut the Packers' deficit to 13-10.
Trailing 10-7, Kaepernick's season-long 42-yard run slashing off
left guard out of the Pistol formation carried the 49ers to the
12-yard line. Gore punched it in two plays later, charging up
the middle out of a three-tight end formation and easily into
the end zone as San Francisco regained a six-point lead.
The Packers moved the chains for the first time in the game with
a 6-yard completion from Rodgers to Kuhn with 11:42 left in the
second quarter, on a drive that began with cornerback Tramon
Williams' interception of Kaepernick at the Green Bay 13.
Kaepernick said the game-time temperature of 5 degrees, which
dipped to 15-below with the wind-chill factor by the end of the
game, was no factor in the game.
"It's not that cold, it's all mental," he said with a smile,
allowing that left tackle Joe Staley's suggestion that
Kaepernick went sleeveless to expose his tattooed arms was "part
of it."
The conversion sent the Packers into the hurry-up with the 49ers
caught in their nickel defense. Rodgers completed five
consecutive passes for 40 yards and Lacy added seven carries for
25 yards to drive inside the 10-yard line. On third-and-goal
from the 5, Rodgers rolled right and fired a touchdown to Nelson
with 5:50 left in the half.
San Francisco ran 25 plays in the first quarter and had the ball
for nearly 10 minutes but led just 6-0 with 2:17 remaining on a
pair of Dawson chip-shot field goals.
Crabtree caught four passes for 70 yards on San Francisco's
opening drive.
"If my life depended on it and someone had to catch a ball, I'd
enlist Michael Crabtree to do it," a well-amped Harbaugh said,
adding that "Michael Crabtree ... he catches everything."
NOTES: Packers LT David Bahktiari (concussion) was replaced by
Marshall Newhouse in the fourth quarter. ... 49ers LB Aldon
Smith (muscle cramps) left the game in the first half but
returned in the third quarter and recorded a quarterback sack.
... The 49ers' four regular-season losses were to teams still
alive in the postseason (Seattle, Indianapolis, Carolina, New
Orleans). ... Packers CB Sam Shields was assisted to the
sideline by trainers and taken to the locker room on a cart with
a knee injury on the 49ers' first offensive possession. He was
replaced by second-year CB Davon House. ... Packers OLB Clay
Matthews (thumb) and 49ers CB Carlos Rogers (hamstring) were
inactive. ... OLB Mike Neal (knee) left for Green Bay after the
first defensive series. OLB Andy Malumba (knee) left the game
briefly in the third quarter. Because of the personnel shortage,
defensive coordinator Dom Capers briefly used four down linemen.
... 49ers PK Phil Dawson kicked a 22-yard field goal to cap San
Francisco's first drive. The 49ers outscored opponents 46-0 this
season on game-opening drives.

About the Book
Bright, attractive, and both from good families, University of Texas college student Colton Pitonyak and vibrant redhead Jennifer Cave had the world at their beckoning. Cave, an ex-cheerleader, had just landed an exciting new job, while a big-money scholarship to UT's prestigious business school lured Pitonyak to Austin. Yet the former altar boy had a dark, unpredictable streak, one that ensnared him in the perilous underworld of drugs and guns. When Jennifer failed to show up for work on August 18, 2005, her mother became frightened. Sharon Cave's search led to Colton's West Campus apartment, where Jennifer's family discovered a scene worthy of the grisliest horror movie. Meanwhile, Colton Pitonyak was nowhere to be found.
A Descent Into Hell is the gripping true story of one of the most brutal slayings in UT history—and the wild "Bonnie and Clyde-like" flight from justice of a cold-blooded young killer and his would-be girlfriend, who claimed that her unquestioning allegiance to Pitonyak was "just the way I roll."
