HCSO press release, March 26,2013:
The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office Community Response Unit (C.R.U.) obtained a Humboldt County Superior Court Search warrant for two residences after an approximate month long investigation which began with a crime tip. The warrant authorized the deputies to search a residence in the 2100 block of Law Blvd, Eureka and a residence in the 1900 block of Scenic Drive, Fortuna. Deputies assisted by the Humboldt County Drug Task Force (H.C.D.T.F) served the warrant at Law Blvd first at approximately 7:30 a.m. on 03-25-2013. When deputies arrived they located Matthew Mildbrandt, 19 years old and a 17 year old juvenile female. When deputies searched the residence they located ten one pound packages of marijuana bud, an assault weapon, 65 growing marijuana plants, approximately 10 pounds of processed marijuana, a US Postal Box containing approximately two pounds of sealed marijuana ready to be shipped via US Postal Service, paperwork indicating sales of marijuana, approximately $6000.00 in US Currency and evidence of Matthew Mildbrandt having unlawful sexual relations with a minor. Matthew was arrested for cultivation and possession for sale of marijuana, conspiracy to commit a felony, being armed in commission of a felony and unlawful sexual relations with a minor. He was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility where his bail was set at $50,000.00. The juvenile female was released to her mother who responded to the residence and took custody of her. Mark Mildbrandt was arrested for cultivation and possession of marijuana for sale, conspiracy and armed in commission of a felony, and Denise Mildbrandt was arrested for cultivation of marijuana, possession for sale of marijuana, conspiracy and armed in commission of a felony.
Deputies then served the search warrant at the Scenic Drive residence. When they arrived at the residence no one was home. The residence belonged to Mark Mildbrandt 56 years old, and his wife Denise Mildbrandt, 54 years old, the parents of Matthew Mildbrandt. They searched the residence and located two assault style weapons and nineteen other rifles and handguns. They also located paperwork indicating sales of marijuana and over 400 ounces of silver along withother precious metals and approximately 13,000.00 in cash. While at the home Mark showed up in his employer's truck. Deputies searched the truck Mark arrived in and found approximately 10 pounds of harvested marijuana in the truck. Mark Mildbrandt was arrested for cultivation and possession of marijuana for sale, conspiracy and armed in commission of a felony. He was booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility where his bail was set at $50,000.00. Denise Mildbrandt showed up at the residence after Mark, and she too was arrested for cultivation of marijuana, possession for sale of marijuana, conspiracy and armed in commission of a felony. Her bail was set at $50,000.00.
Deputies were able to obtain information during their search which indicated Mark and Denise Mildbrandt had property in the 2500 block of Burr Valley Road, Dinsmore along with Mark David Mildbrandt. Deputies obtained a search warrant for that property and drove to Burr Valley
Road to serve the warrant on 3-25-2013, approximately 4:00 p.m. When the deputies drove up Burr Valley Road, they came across four fir trees that had been recently fallen across the road. The fir trees were approximately two feet in diameter and completely blocked the road. This not only blocked the deputies from accessing the search warrant location to be searched, but it also blocked other non involved residents from accessing or leaving their homes. Deputies were able to clear the road enough to pass after about thirty minutes using chainsaws.
Once at the search warrant site, deputies located a cabin that had been converted for cultivation of marijuana. There was a small living space, along with a drying and manicuring room. Deputies located a diesel powered greenhouse on the property that had leaked several gallons of diesel and oil onto the ground. In the greenhouse structure deputies approximately 300 growing marijuana plants approximately one foot high. They also located approximately 364 pounds of dried marijuana and three firearms including a shotgun. No one was at the structure when they arrived.
The Humboldt County Code Enforcement Unit and Environmental Health are being notified of the environmental damage that the deputies witnessed at the scene. This is an ongoing investigations with more arrests anticipated.

Related information contributed by Dan Roberts
The press release below dated, March 21, 2013 was jointly released by three environmental groups: Center for Biological Diversity, Willits Environmental Center and EPIC.
SACRAMENTO, Calif.— Two-dozen conservation and community organizations are joining together to take on irresponsible and damaging highway-widening projects around the state by the California Department of Transportation. The Caltrans Watch coalition cites wasteful spending, institutionalized disregard of environmental regulations designed to protect natural resources, and a pattern of refusal to address local community concerns. A dozen of the groups are calling on Caltrans to halt construction on the controversial Willits Bypass project in Mendocino County.
"With devastating budget cuts to education, health and social services and the state park system, how can Caltrans squander $350 million on five unnecessary highway widening projects in Northern California, with severe environmental impacts?" asked Jeff Miller of the Center for Biological Diversity. "Someone needs to give 'em a brake. Where's the oversight and accountability to rein in the pervasive problems at Caltrans, like refusal to consider reasonable alternatives to massive highway projects, shoddy environmental review, no transparency, faulty data and disregard for public input?"
"The Willits community is coming to realize what a disaster the Willits Bypass will be for our environment and our town," said Ellen Drell of the Willits Environmental Center. "The project should be stopped until Caltrans adequately evaluates less damaging alternatives. We want our transportation dollars and construction jobs directed toward locally appropriate infrastructure that doesn't bankrupt the state, further trash our natural resources or ignore the $300 billion highway maintenance backlog."
"From the wild canyons of the Smith River, through the redwood parks of Humboldt, to the wetlands headwaters of the Eel River at Willits, Caltrans is running roughshod over the North Coast," said Natalynne Delapp of the Environmental Protection Information Center. "Local communities are trying to engage the agency to develop appropriate transportation solutions, but Caltrans continues to bulldoze us with archaic projects straight out of the 1950s, that benefit only a limited group of economic interests."
Despite a pending lawsuit filed by conservation groups challenging the Willits Bypass — a proposed four-lane freeway to be built through sensitive wetlands around the community of Willits — Caltrans has stated its intention to cut down mature oak forests, remove brush and destroy riparian vegetation along critical salmon streams before the case can be heard in federal court this summer. State Sen. Noreen Evans earlier this month sent a letter to Caltrans echoing community concerns over whether there is a need for a four-lane project, why other alternatives or routes were not seriously examined, and if less environmentally destructive solutions to address local traffic congestion were feasible. For now, protestors and a tree-sitter in the path of Caltrans' proposed superhighway have prevented tree and vegetation removal.
The Caltrans Watch coalition includes: Alameda Creek Alliance, Bay Area Coalition for Headwaters, Campaign for Sensible Transportation, Center for Biological Diversity, Citizens Committee to Complete the Refuge, East Bay Chapter of the California Native Plant Society, Environmental Protection Information Center, Friends of Coyote Hills Committee, Friends of Del Norte, Friends of the Eel River, Local Ecology and Agriculture Fremont, Mendocino Group of the Sierra Club, Northcoast Environmental Center, Pacificans for Highway One Alternatives, Piercy Watersheds Association, Redwood Chapter of the Sierra Club, Safe Alternatives for our Forest Environment, Save Little Lake Valley, Save Niles Canyon, Save Our Sunol, Save Richardson Grove Coalition, Tri-City Ecology Center and Willits Environmental Center.
Caltrans has consistently refused to consider less expensive and ecologically damaging alternatives to highway widening projects that could accomplish safety and transportation objectives, and has ignored public concerns, input and opposition. The coalition points to half a dozen highway-widening projects being pursued by Caltrans that are not needed to achieve the stated safety or transportation access purposes:
* The $10 million Richardson Grove project to widen and realign Highway 101 through Richardson Grove State Park in Humboldt County, damaging prized old-growth redwoods to supposedly increase access for large commercial trucks;
* The $210 million Highway 101 superhighway the size of Interstate 5 around Willits, not needed for local traffic volumes, requiring the largest wetlands fill permit in Northern California in the past 50 years and running through headwaters of salmon-bearing streams and habitat for endangered plants;
* The $19 million Highway 197/199 widening projects in Del Norte County along the "wild and scenic" Smith River to accommodate oversized commercial trucks, with impacts to old-growth redwood trees;
* The $76 million Niles Canyon highway-widening project in Alameda County, a "safety" project stopped by a citizen lawsuit. Caltrans now admits the widening is not needed and the Federal Highway Administration recently concluded it is not warranted by the state's safety data. It would have cut 600 riparian trees and added four miles of cement retaining walls and rip-rap along a regionally significant stream for steelhead trout;
* The $50 million Calera Parkway project to double the width of Highway 1 in Pacifica, in San Mateo County, with impacts to endangered frogs and garter snakes.
The coalition supports safe roadways and sensible transportation planning. For each of these projects the organizations have expended considerable effort through the available public review processes to encourage Caltrans to pursue reasonable and effective safety or access upgrades that would avoid needless environmental destruction. These efforts have largely been frustrated by Caltrans' refusal to even evaluate viable alternatives proposed by the affected communities.
The pattern of flawed decision-making and inadequate environmental review by Caltrans has forced community organizations to resort to litigation as the only remaining avenue to seek redress. The coalition cites systemic problems within Caltrans, beginning with the manner in which transportation infrastructure needs are identified, the proposed solutions to address those needs, incomplete and inadequate review of environmental impacts, and disregard for concerns of local communities.

A recent Eureka Police Department press release describes a message popping up on local residents computer screens purporting to be from the "Department of Homeland Security National Cyber Security Division." The message reportedly causes the computer to freeze and instructs the user that to "unlock" the computer they are "obliged to pay a fine of $300.00." The EPD advises that anyone receiving this message should not make any requested payments and should file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx.
According to the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) website, this type of cyber attack is called "ransomware" and results after an e-mail message, puporting to be from the Department of Homeland Security National Cyber Security Division or from other "official sources", including the FBI, is received by the victim. US-CERT gives information about avoiding cyber attacks and scams including not clicking on links or opening attachments from suspicious e-mails.
The full EPD press release may be read below.
On 3/20/13, the Eureka Police Department received a report of a computer-related scam now affecting some local residents. Victims report a pop-up message will appear on their personal computer. The message is purportedly from the "Department of Homeland Security National Cyber Security Division." The message, which appears to be a form of malware/virus known as "ransomware," states: "The work of your computer has been suspended on the grounds of the violation of the law of the United States of America." It further declares, "This computer has been blocked." The message remains locked in the front of one's screen and the user is unable to close it or access other programs. It essentially freezes the computer. The message instructs the user that to "unlock" the computer they are "obliged to pay a fine of $300.00." It further states they must pay this fine through "MoneyPak" within 48 hours (Green Dot MoneyPak is available through Walmart, Kmart, Rite Aid and other major retailers). If the fine has not been paid, it threatens the user will become the subject of criminal prosecution without the right to pay the fine. The warning asserts once you pay the "fine" your computer will be unblocked. The "fine" is paid by entering your $300.00 MoneyPak code into a box on the pop-up warning screen and clicking ok.
The warning screen is very convincing with logos from Homeland Security as well as major retailers such as Walmart. Walmart and the other retailersare not associated with this scam. Alternate versions of this same scam may use the FBI's logo Anyone receiving this message should not enter a MoneyPak code or any other payment method into the screen. Users should file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx. The IC3 is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C).
A Humboldt County Sheriff's Deputy, patrolling the area of recent fiber optic cable vandalism in the Rio Dell area (click here to see that story), resulted in a vehicular pursuit which was eventually terminated for public safety concerns but later picked up by the California Highway Patrol. After crashing and rolling the car he was driving, 29 year old Michael Joseph Petersen, was arrested for felony evasion, possession of a loaded firearm in a vehicle, possession of illicit drugs, possession of hashish, possession of a controlled substance, resisting arrest, driving unlicensed and driving under the influence. According to the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office (see the press release below) there is no indication Petersen was involved in the Suddenlink vandalisms.

The truck again started to flee from the C.H.P. car, however lost control and crashed in the 2700 block of Dyerville Loop Road. The pickup truck rolled over during the crash and traveled approximately 400 feet down a hillside. The driver, who was the sole occupant in the pickup truck was taken into custody by C.H.P. He received minor injuries in the collision. The C.H.P. Officers located a loaded Colt handgun in the vehicle, along with a variety of illegal drugs.

Cetinje: Eggs for the Ladies
Bato Tomasevic, born in 1929, wrote an extraordinary book. It is an autobiography which spans most of the Yugoslav century. Only published in 2008 it is also quite unique (at least in English) in that it takes the story of his Montenegrin family from his birth in 1929 right up to the arrest of Slobodan Milosevic in 2001. Amongst the highlights of this book are his childhood in Mitrovica in Kosovo where his family had settled as colonists after the first world war and his experiences in the second when he joined Tito's Partisans. After the war he became a Yugoslav diplomat and later a journalist and publisher and finally the head of YUTEL, the short-lived, anti-nationalist television station that died with the country it wanted to preserve. Tomasevic now lives in England with his English wife. What is special about this Yugoslav saga is Tomasevic's ability to tell it like it was. That is to say for example that the years of the Second World War are full of revealing and funny vignettes of real life and not just tales of fighting and bloodshed. That is why we have chosen this extract, in which the young boy Tomasevic explains what happens when he goes to find four strangely dressed Italian women who have come to live in Italian-occupied, wartime Cetinje, the historic capital of Montenegro. They have asked him to find eggs for them. The next day, with the eggs, he goes in search of their house:
I was amazed to see a line of soldiers, a hundred metres long, waiting to go in. Had I got the address wrong? Were the men waiting for their pay or special rations, or were they going to be deloused? I remembered seeing soldiers lined up in front of the new high school, and several women in white overalls with something like a bicycle pump spraying them with the white powder that was said to kill lice like nothing. I went up to the guard and explained that I was bringing eggs for the ladies. He burst out laughing:
"What do they want eggs for?" They've got more than they need!"
"How come?" I asked. "Only yesterday they were looking all over Cetinje for them."
"Do you see all those standing in line? Everyone is bringing them two as a present."
Still completely in the dark, I climbed the steps to the door at which the soldiers were waiting. When I knocked on it, they started shouting:
"Hey boy, you can't jump the queue. Wait your turn with the rest of us!"
The door was opened by a woman dressed in white, just like those with the pump. When I explained my mission, she led me inside. In the entrance hall the first thing I saw was four soldiers hurriedly unbuttoning their flies and putting on condoms. Utterly confused and embarrassed, I stopped, not knowing where to look, and whether to run away or wait. Just then the door of the main room opened and there were the four women from the market, sitting on or getting up from four divans arranged around the large room, while four soldiers came out taking off condoms, which they dropped in the bin. Like the day before, the women were heavily made up and carefully coiffed. But, while their upper garments were neatly pressed and buttoned up, below they wore nothing at all. At that moment they started putting on something like pantaloons.
"Stop them coming in for a while," said the one I'd talked to the previous day.
"But what about the four ready with condoms on?" asked the woman in white.
"Let them wait. They're young and can get it up any time."
I glanced at the four soldiers and they glared back at me for causing this delay. The woman in white said they would have to be patient a minute as the boy had brought eggs for the ladies, so they could make face masks from the yolks.
"Come in, boy!" the ladies called out, pleased to see me. "Are the eggs really fresh? No rotten ones there?"
I assured them our hens had laid the eggs that very day and apologised for the fact that there were only four. I offered, however, to bring them four every second day, and this suggestion met with their approval.

Darien's Ross named top-10 receiver to watch
Recommended Video:
Griffin Ross, Darien: The 5-11 Ross was a catching machine last year, hauling in the most passes (80) of any player in the state. Of the returnees, only Alex Jamele -- from Class LL champ Southington -- racked up more yards through the air with 1,623. A reliable target like Ross (1,061 yards as a junior) will certainly ease Timmy Graham's transition to starting quarterback.
Coach's take: "He's just as good on the other side ball (at cornerback), too. He's going to be one of the big guns in the league this year." -- New Canaan's Lou Marinelli
Alex LaPolice, New Canaan: There's one caveat here: LaPolice might not play wide receiver this year. The senior's in a three-way competition to fill the Rams' opening at quarterback, left by the graduation of Nick Cascione. Still, LaPolice is too talented to ignore. In the Rams' run to FCIAC and Class L titles last year, LaPolice recorded 619 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.
Coach's take: "He has everything you want in a football player. He's intelligent, tough, athletic; the list goes on and on. He's one of the best high school football players in the state of Connecticut, without a doubt." -- Trinity Catholic's Donny Panapada
Ryan Brown, Warde: Brown is a breakout candidate after grabbing 35 balls for 537 yards and five scores as a junior last year. The Mustangs are considered by some coaches to be the FCIAC's "sleeper" team this season. Brown will have a say about whether that comes true.
Coach's take: "He can have a real breakout year. He's got great hands, he runs great routes and he's a smart kid." -- Warde's Duncan DellaVolpe
John DelliSanti, Fairfield Prep: During Prep's run to the Class LL final last year, DelliSanti displayed soft hands and explosiveness after the catch. While quarterback Colton Smith and fullback Nick Crowle combined for nearly 3,000 yards on the ground, DelliSanti forced defenses to stay honest. He piled up 935 yards and nine touchdowns on 45 catches as a junior. For the Jesuits to compete in the loaded SCC, the 6-foot-2, 205-pound DelliSanti will have to deliver another big season.
Coach's take: "John's bigger, stronger, faster. I know he's worked hard at his skills, his route running." -- Fairfield Prep's Tom Shea
Julian Dunn, Newtown: Dunn fits the mold of the hybrid receiver/tight end that NFL types say are revolutionizing the game as matchup nightmares. At 6-3, 215 pounds, he's often too strong for defensive backs and too fast for linebackers. Dunn enjoyed a monster junior year, piling up a school-record 1,024 receiving yards and 23 touchdowns as Newtown won its second straight SWC title. The Nighthawks graduated a three-year starting quarterback in Andrew Tarantino and a workhorse running back in Cooper Gold, leaving the spotlight on Dunn.
Coach's take: "He's tall, he's deceptively quick. He's not a burner, but he can run by you. He can jump and touch the clouds. ... He's big, he's strong, he's a nightmare." -- Bunnell's Doug Cotto
Troy Frangione, Newtown: Playing alongside a gamebreaker like Dunn helps, but Frangione is plenty talented in his own right. The 5-9 wideout led the Nighthawks with 51 receptions as a junior, to go along with 684 yards and eight touchdowns.
Coach's take: "I just remember that kid's speed. I knew he had good hands." -- Bethel's Jason Gill
Pierre Moudourou, Danbury: Moudourou posted quality numbers as a first-year starter in 2013, recording 459 receiving yards and four touchdowns. His 30 receptions ranked fifth among sophomores statewide.
Coach's take: "He's 6-1, and he isn't afraid to go up and get the ball. He's a gifted kid that will help us a lot." -- Danbury's Mark Ecke
Lars Pedersen, St. Joseph: Pedersen was the No. 1 option in an electric aerial attack last year. The Cadets rolled to the Class M title, scoring a whopping 200 points in three playoff victories. Pedersen caught 60 passes for 1,059 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior and will likely be the go-to guy again with first-time starter Kevin Trefz at quarterback.
Coach's take: "He just runs great patterns and he's got great hands. He knows how to get open. That's tough to teach." -- St. Joseph's Joe Della Vecchia
Greg Radovic, New Fairfield: Although the 6-foot, 178-pound Radovic is built more like a receiver than a tight end, he developed into a weapon as a sophomore. His six touchdowns ranked second among tight ends last year, behind only Seymour's Christian Thurmond (11 touchdowns).
Coach's take: "He's a triple threat. He can run, he can block, he can catch." -- New Fairfield's Anthony Fata

Linda Caldwell, professor of recreation, park and tourism management, was elected president of the Academy of Leisure Sciences, effective Oct. 14, 2009. The academy comprises nearly 100 elected members who have made major contributions to the study of leisure sciences.
The mission of the Academy of Leisure Sciences is to advance the field of leisure studies through three main activities: recognizing outstanding scholars, creating forums for exchanging knowledge and ideas, and promoting the study through scholars programs.
"I am particularly excited to be assuming the role of president because one of our main tasks this year is to raise money for an endowment to continue the successful Future Scholars program," said Caldwell.
The Future Scholars program recognizes and provides a mentored networking opportunity for up to four master's-level students at the academy's annual Leisure Research Symposium.
Caldwell's leisure science research has focused primarily on how leisure activities can be therapeutic, can promote physical activity and health, and can prevent or reduce drug use and risky sexual behaviors in adolescents. Two curricula she and colleagues developed, HealthWise and TimeWise, have been used and evaluated in a number of communities in Germany, Colombia, South Africa and the United States through funding provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Those programs aim to reduce risky behavior and poor health outcomes in adolescents by helping them manage their free time.
She is secretary of the World Leisure Organization's Commission on Children and Youth and associate editor of Leisure/Loisir and Therapeutic Recreation Journal. In the past, she co-chaired the World Leisure Commission on Children and Youth (2008), was associate editor of Journal of Leisure Research and Journal of Applied Recreation Research, and is co-director of RPTM's Leisure, Health and Well-Being lab.
Caldwell received her bachelor's degree in Recreation and Parks in 1976 from Penn State, her master's degree in recreation resources administration from North Carolina State University in 1982 and her doctorate in recreation from the University of Maryland in 1986. She has been a faculty member at Penn State since 1995.

The first time I saw a body in an open casket, I almost laughed out loud.
I was a senior in high school, but it wasn't my first experience with death. Both of my dad's parents and his sister passed away years earlier. But their mortal exits were dressed in Buddhist traditions that I found more fun than somber.
At their funerals, Mom and Dad told me not to cry because they wanted my relatives' spirits to comfortably transition into the afterlife — to limbo-land where they repented for their earthly wrongs before being reincarnated.
My parents didn't want to guilt-trip the dead into staying on earth and keeping us company.
For me, it was easy not to sob. At my grandmother's wake, I was too preoccupied with strange, white-and-burlap uniforms. Then there was the cameraman who recorded footage of tear-stained faces, dozens of floral wreaths and my dolled-up grandma.
At Rose Hills Memorial Park, the grown-ups burned colorful paper that manifested into real things in the Buddhist world of the dead: money, gold nuggets, clothes, shoes, expensive watches and a mansion.
Every year we used to celebrate death days with giant family gatherings. We had good food such as shark fin soup, crispy pork skin and deep-fried shrimp paste wrapped around sugar cane sticks.
My mouth always watered when I saw the delicious dishes. But I couldn't eat anything until my dead ancestors had their fill.
The grown-ups put the feast in front of an altar. Grown-ups burned three incense sticks and kids burned one. I remember kowtowing three times and then running out to play freeze tag with my cousins as the joss sticks burned down.
The female adults sat around and gossiped as they folded white paper with a golden strip into a cylindric trapezoid. In the afterworld, the bucketful of inexpensive paper became gold for my ancestors to use.
When the women finished folding this wealth, they handed the holy paper over to the older kids, who were put in charge of burning it all. Sometimes I got to toss a few fake dollars, black shoes and glitzy gold watches into the makeshift bonfire.
I vaguely remember burning a servant girl for my ancestors too, but maybe that was only in a dream. At any rate, their spirits lived in more luxury than they ever experienced on American soil.
As soon as our mountain of goodies turned into a pile of black ash, it was time to go pig out. I loved my dad's parents and my aunt!
My conflicted feelings about death got even more confused when I went to Beijing as an adult.
I learned the Chinese encourage loud, piercing cries at funeral processions. The dead can happily cross into the afterlife if they know they left behind a legacy that can be heard by neighbors in the next city.
Traditionally, wealthy families hire professional mourners to cry at funerals, and some country people do the same because many sons and daughters working in far-off places can't return in time for the ceremonial departure.
I've always feared no one would say anything nice about me when I die, but at least I know I could hire talented mourners.
Zen Vuong is a staff writer for the Pasadena Star-News. She hopes that someone will burn name-brand purses and shoes for her to enjoy during her time in limbo. You can follow Zen at Twitter.com/ZenReport or on Facebook.com/ZenReport.

As AAFP members, we all are aware of the many changes in health care that have occurred during the past decade. Thanks to the Future of Family Medicine (FFM) project, we have been prepared for many of these transformations, and, indeed, the AAFP has had a hand in promulgating the drive to put primary care and family physicians, in particular, at the foundation of the new health care system.
However, the work we did on the FFM project as part of the Family Medicine Working Party was done more than 10 years ago, and a lot has changed in health care in the United States since then.
That is why we need your help now. The Family Medicine Working Party once again is initiating a project to look at the future of family medicine, and we need you to contribute your thoughts on how family physicians can help make the health care system in the United States a strong, vibrant system based on primary care. What do our specialty and our practices need to be successful in this system? As you read through the following information on the project, we ask that you think about the past, present, and future of family medicine. Then we invite you to comment, either via the comments field at the end of this article or by sending us an e-mail so your voice can be heard.
In late August, the Family Medicine Working Party launched a follow-up initiative to the FFM project, which was conducted more than a decade ago. The goal of this effort -- Family Medicine for America's Health: Future of Family Medicine 2.0 -- is to examine the challenges and opportunities facing family medicine today and define a path forward in the context of a rapidly changing health care landscape.
Twelve years ago, the seven national family medicine organizations initiated the FFM project. The goal of the FFM project was to develop a strategy to transform and renew the discipline of family medicine to meet the needs of patients in a changing health care environment. At the time, it was clear that fundamental flaws in the fragmented U.S. health care system could be addressed through the integrative, generalist approach that is -- and has always been -- the hallmark of family medicine.
Extensive national research, conducted by independent firms along with five internal task forces, focused on key issues facing family medicine. The project identified core values; a new model of practice; and a process for development, research, education, partnership and change with the greatest potential to transform the ability of family medicine to improve the health and health care of the nation. The new model of practice established through the FFM project had the following characteristics:
- a patient-centered team approach;
- the elimination of barriers to access;
- advanced information systems, including electronic health records;
- redesigned, more functional offices;
- a focus on quality and outcomes; and
- enhanced practice finance.
The study concluded that family medicine needed to oversee the training of family physicians who are committed to excellence, believe in the core values of the discipline, able to provide family medicine's basket of services within the new model, and capable of adapting to varying patient needs and changing care technologies.
Family Medicine for America's Health: Future of Family Medicine 2.0
Significant change has occurred in the decade-plus since the initiation of the FFM project. This period has been marked by active experimentation within the specialty, and much good work has been accomplished, most notably, the implementation of the new model of care now known as the patient-centered medical home (PCMH).
Despite enormous progress -- including the emergence of the PCMH as a central component of the landmark Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act -- many new issues and questions confront the specialty. This combined with the significant changes underway in our health care system have prompted us to revisit the FFM project. The goal of this new effort is to look through today's lens at the challenges and opportunities facing family medicine in order to
- define the role of the 21st century family physician (key attributes, practice scope, role within the health care system); and
- ensure family medicine can deliver the workforce to perform this role for the U.S. public (via medical school/residency training and re-engaging existing family physicians, etc.).
As part of this process, the family medicine organizations will consider the following questions:
- What are the core attributes of family medicine today in the context of an apparent decline in the scope of services and clinical care provided by many family physicians?
- How will family medicine respond to the challenges of an evolving health system? The significant changes in health care include
- a move from the traditional "practice owner" model to one of physicians as employees of larger health systems;
- greater system integration and accountable care organizations (ACOs);
- health information technology, meaningful use and advances in the use of technology for care coordination;
- the expansion of scope of practice by many nonphysician health care providers;
- evolving models of payment reform; and
- physician performance measurement and reporting.
- a move from the traditional "practice owner" model to one of physicians as employees of larger health systems;
- Is there a need for curricular reform for medical school education and residency training -- potentially moving from three to four years of residency training?
- How do we best communicate to relevant stakeholders the value and benefits of family medicine -- the important role family physicians play in the evolving U.S. health care system?
Project Sponsors and Leaders
Similar to the earlier FFM project, Family Medicine for America's Health: Future of Family Medicine 2.0 is an effort of the Family Medicine Working Party. The seven leadership organizations within the specialty of family medicine are the
- American Academy of Family Physicians
- American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation
- American Board of Family Medicine
- Association of Departments of Family Medicine
- Association of Family Medicine Residency Directors
- North American Primary Care Research Group
- Society of Teachers of Family Medicine
Working Party members from each of the organizations have designated representatives to a steering committee and core team, who will take the lead in driving the work of the project. Steering committee members are
- Samuel Jones, M.D. (ABFM) -- committee chair
- Stacy Brungardt (STFM)
- Ardis Davis (ADFM)
- Frank deGruy, M.D. (NAPCRG)
- Kevin Helm (AFMRD)
- Douglas Henley, M.D. (AAFP)
- Grant Hoekzema, M.D. (AFMRD)
- Jason Marker, M.D. (AAFP Foundation)
- James Puffer, M.D. (ABFM)
- John Saultz, M.D. (STFM)
- Kurt Stange, M.D., Ph.D. (NAPCRG)
- Glen Stream, M.D., M.B.I. (AAFP)
- Barbara Thompson, M.D. (ADFM)
- Jane Weida, M.D. (AAFP Foundation)
Core team members are
- Tom Campbell, M.D. (ADFM)
- Jennifer DeVoe, M.D., D.Phil. (NAPCRG)
- Jerry Kruse, M.D. (STFM)
- Bob Phillips, M.D., M.S.P.H. (ABFM)
- Glen Stream, M.D., M.B.I. (AAFP)
- Mike Tuggy, M.D. (AFMRD)
- Mary Jo Welker, M.D. (AAFP Foundation)
Two national firms have been selected to collaborate and assist with the project. We have retained CFAR to lead the strategic planning initiative. CFAR is a management consulting firm specializing in strategy and organizational development. CFAR was spun out of the Wharton School in 1987 and has academic roots in business and the social sciences. APCO Worldwide will lead communications and brand development efforts. APCO is a public relations firm with deep expertise in health care, health policy and social marketing.
Timeline and Outcomes
We anticipate the research and planning phase of the project to be completed by April 2014, at which point, we plan to move quickly to implementation of
- an action-oriented, strategic plan with a five-year timeline, addressing the issues most critical to family medicine and providing a role for the seven family medicine organizations and
- a family medicine communications platform developed through research and creative testing that aligns with stakeholders' expectations, perceptions and emotional attachments, along with a plan to communicate the value and benefits of family medicine.
The success of this project relies on input from the broad community of family physicians, like you, who are on the front lines of care and whose unique experiences will inform and direct the process. The project also will include extensive research and outreach to family medicine and our key stakeholders, including teachers, medical students, residents and researchers.
We will provide regular updates on progress of the effort, and we invite you to share thoughts or insights with the Working Party, core team or steering committee via e-mail at email@example.com.

In 2013 Denmark added 610MW of new installed capacity, 349MW of which was offshore. The country's cumulative capacity at the end of 2013 stood at 4.77GW with an onshore/offshore split of 3,501MW and 1,271MW respectively.
Dong Energy's 400MW Anholt offshore wind farm, using 3.6MW Siemens turbines, was the biggest project to reach completion last year. No new offshore developments are expected to reach fruition over the next two years, but progress should pick up quickly in the second half of the decade with up to 1.5GW of new offshore wind scheduled for installation by 2020.
Oiland hydro-rich Norway has a growing interest in wind power. At the end of 2013 it had 766MW in total, adding 62MW through the year, all of which came from the second phase of the 110MW Midtfjellet wind farm on the island of Stord, using the low-wind Nordex N117/2400 turbine.
Norway's wind energy association anticipates around 90MW being installed during 2014. But wind power is expected to grow rapidly in the years following as a result of the country joining Sweden's green certificate scheme, which obliges energy providers to source a percentage of their energy from renewables. The association is predicting 2.5-3GW of new wind power to be added by the end of the decade.
Finland added 160MW to its wind portfolio in 2013, all of it onshore, for a cumulative capacity of 448MW. The country's wind energy association predicts 170-200MW to be installed in 2014, most of it on relatively small (below 30MW) projects. Nordex's low-wind turbines are proving the most popular among Finland's wind developers.
Progress offshore has been slower. Finland has 24MW installed on an artificial island, plus Statoil's 2MW Hywind floating pilot. The support mechanism for offshore wind provides EUR83.5/MWh over 12 years. However, the Finnish Wind Energy Association says there is more than 11GW of projects for which companies have either applied for approval or have committed to develop in the future, of which 3GW is offshore.

For the Tomato Tasting Dinner Party, I wanted the setting to be very simple- farm-to-table-esque.
-Red Striped Natural Linen Napkins (that I made- see note below)
-A Cherry Tomato
-Herb Box Centerpiece (see note below)
-Match Pewter Bud Vase with White Zinnia
-Pewter Flatware
-White Pantry Plates
-Country Wine Glasses
-French Water Glasses
-Bare Wooden Table
I made the napkins out of a natural linen fabric and painted red stripes around the bottom edge using a dry brush technique.
I have made several varieties of napkins and towels for my home using this same technique. It is so simple- the only skill required is being able to sew a straight line... actually you don't even need to be able to sew if you can find the napkins pre-made, you can just add the stripes to embellish them.
Here is the link to the DIY instructions for creating your own!

- "It's ideal for Headquarters, of course. My father put every security measure known to wizardkind on it when he lived here. It's unplottable, so Muggles could never come and call - as if they'd ever have wanted to - and now Dumbledore's added his protection, you'd be hard put to find a safer house anywhere."
- —Sirius Black[src]
12 Grimmauld Place was the ancestral home of the Black family. It was located in the Borough of Islington, London, in a Muggle neighbourhood, and the location was protected by a Fidelius Charm. As the house was invisible to the neighbourhood residents, the local Muggles have long since accepted the mistake in numbering which landed number 13 next to number 11.
In 1995, the home became the headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix with the consent of Sirius Black, with Albus Dumbledore becoming Secret-Keeper. After Dumbledore's death in 1997, everyone in whom he confided the location of 12 Grimmauld Place to became a Secret-Keeper.
Under Walburga BlackEdit
Number 12, Grimmauld Place was the ancestral home of the House of Black for many generations. The previous matron, Walburga Black, made it clear through her disgust of having anyone less than pure-blood in her home through the hostile shrieks of her portrait, which was affixed to the wall of the home with a Permanent Sticking Charm. For years, the house was home exclusively to the Black family house-elf, Kreacher, who wandered around the building still remaining faithful to his old mistress' portrait, muttering insults about the "blood traitors" and "mudbloods" which had displeased his mistress so.[1]
Although Sirius Black stated that the house was unoccupied after the death of his mother Walburga in 1985, the Black family tree shows that both of Sirius's grandfathers, Arcturus Black III and Pollux Black, were in fact alive until at least 1990, as was his great-aunt Cassiopeia and Callidora Longbottom. It is unclear why none of them would have lived in the house, given that it was the ancestral home of the Black family.
Under Sirius BlackEdit
Sirius Black, Walburga's son, hated number 12 Grimmauld Place, and left when he was sixteen. He never imagined he would have to return to his family's home.[1] During Sirius's imprisonment in Azkaban, wrongly convicted for the crime of murdering several Muggles (Peter Pettigrew being the real perpetrator), the house was unoccupied. After his escape in 1993,[2] Sirius gave the home over to the Order of the Phoenix to be used as a headquarters. The home required an arduous cleaning up to make it even remotely habitable. Much of this work fell to Molly Weasley and her children. The home was in such disrepair that doxies and boggarts had made themselves quite at home.[1]
The Order of the PhoenixEdit
After Sirius Black was killed by Bellatrix Lestrange in 1996 during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries,[1] the house was inherited by his godson, Harry Potter. He continued to allow the Order of the Phoenix to use it as a safe house. After the death of Albus Dumbledore, Grimmauld Place's Secret-Keeper in 1997,[3] each of the members of the order to whom the secret had been imparted became Secret-Keepers themselves, giving them the power to reveal the house to others.[4]
Under Harry PotterEdit
The Secret-Keepers included Severus Snape, who had killed Dumbledore[3] and was believed to be in Lord Voldemort's employ and therefore would allow Death Eaters into the Order's headquarters. Alastor Moody placed a number of enchantments on the house to keep Snape from entering.
These were a Tongue-Tying Curse to prevent him from telling others of the place and a dust-composed form of Dumbledore, which disintegrated when the person it advanced upon said the word kill or a variant, the point of this being that Moody believed that Snape would be too overrun with guilt to say that he had killed Albus, forcing him to retreat. However, the Order did not know that Albus Dumbledore's death was prearranged with Severus Snape. Despite these enchantments, the Order ceased use of the house as headquarters as they still could not risk being ambushed by Death Eaters.[4]
Use as a hide-outEdit
When Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger escaped from the Death Eater attack on Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding ceremony on 1 August, 1997, they hid at Grimmauld Place. They were able to remain hidden there for a month, though Death Eaters, who were staking out locations linked to the Order, skulked about the street outside, unable to see the secret location.[4]
While at Grimmauld Place, the trio learned that Kreacher had attempted to destroy Salazar Slytherin's Locket—one of several Horcruxes created by Lord Voldemort—at the request of his master, Regulus Black. Kreacher revealed that the horcrux was stolen by Mundungus Fletcher during a looting of 12 Grimmauld Place. After presenting Kreacher with Regulus Black's locket, Harry asked Kreacher to track down Mundungus.
Kreacher returned days later with Mundungus, who revealed that the locket was taken by Dolores Umbridge in Diagon Alley. The trio hatched a plan to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic. While performing four weeks of stakeouts at the Ministry entrance, they spent some of their free time cleaning up 12 Grimmauld Place.[4]
After retrieving Salazar Slytherin's Locket from Umbridge, they Apparated back to Grimmauld Place, but Yaxley grabbed Hermione's arm in the process. She struck him with a Revulsion Jinx and Disapparated away with Harry and Ron, but the house's location had been revealed to Yaxley, and they were forced to abandon it.[4]
It is unknown if Harry came to live in the house with his family or left it abandoned.
Ground floorEdit
The front door opened into a long hallway, lit by a large chandelier and gas lamps. By 1995, its wallpaper was peeling and the carpet had been worn thin. Walburga Black's portrait hung in this hallway. There was also a troll-leg umbrella stand, which, on numerous occasions, Nymphadora Tonks tripped up over, usually causing the portrait of Walburga Black to awaken and start screaming.[5]
On one side of the hallway was the dining room, which featured a dresser holding the Black family crest and china. It became filled with spiders when the house was abandoned. At the end of the hallway were the stairs to the upper floors, decorated with a row of shrunken House-elf heads, mounted on the wall on plaques.[6]
The kitchen was below the ground floor and accessed through a narrow staircase at the end of the entry hallway. The kitchen was a cavernous room with a large fireplace at one end and a large wooden table in the centre.[7] There was also a large pantry and a small room used by Kreacher as a bedroom.
First floorEdit
The wall of the staircase leading to the first upper floor was decorated with the heads of house-elves mounted on plaques. On the first landing, there were at least three rooms: a drawing room, a bedroom once shared by Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley,[6] and a bathroom. The drawing room had long windows facing the street in front of the house, a large fireplace, and the tapestry of the Black family tree.
Upper floorsEditThe second floor featured at least one bedroom, which was shared by Harry Potter and Ron Weasley in the summer of 1995. It featured a portrait of Phineas Nigellus Black until Hermione removed it to take on her, Harry, and Ron's journey.[8]
It is unknown what is on the third floor, but it is likely filled with bedrooms, given that Arthur, Molly, and Fred and George all slept a floor above Harry and Ron in 1995, and the topmost landing features only two bedrooms. These were the bedrooms of Sirius and Regulus. The former was decorated with Gryffindor colours and banners and posters of bikini-clad Muggle women and muggle motorbikes, while the latter was decorated in Slytherin green, with the Black family crest over the bed and newspaper clippings about Lord Voldemort on the walls. Both were once ornate, but had decayed by the late 1990s.[9] The master bedroom where Buckbeak stayed may have been on the third floor as well.
Number 12, Grimmauld Place held many Black family heirlooms and possessions, such as a music box that played a sickly tune and attempted to put the listener to sleep, crested goblets, a biting silver box containing Wartcap Powder, and an unopenable locket which turned out to be Salazar Slytherin's Locket, one of Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes. This was where Kreacher put the object after he drove himself mad not being able to complete his master's orders to destroy the locket due to the fact that it had to be damaged past the point of repair which was beyond the capabilities and understanding of the house-elf.
Another object of note was the Portrait of Walburga Black, which has an unpleasant habit of loudly screaming about the "Mudbloods" and "blood traitors" of the Order of the Phoenix members that inhabited the house, due to Walburga's prejudice against such people. The portrait was usually closed off with curtains, which aimed to keep the portrait quiet, but are not very effective; any loud noise in the vicinity would cause the curtains to fly open, and Walburga to start raging and howling again until someone forces the curtains shut.
Many of these family heirlooms were stolen and peddled by Mundungus Fletcher, including Salazar Slytherin's Locket, which the thief was forced to give to none other than Dolores Umbridge to avoid prosecution for trading without a licence, she used the locket to enforce her pure-blood credentials, claiming that the 'S' stood for Selwyn, which she claimed was a pure-blood family to whom she was related. In fact, the locket was an heirloom of Salazar Slytherin as well as one of Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes, which Regulus Black stole when he abandoned the Death Eaters.
Known objectsEdit
- An ornate crystal bottle with a large opal set into the stopper, full of what appeared to be blood.
- Boxes, made of tarnished silver and inscribed with languages Harry did not understand.
- A dusty box containing Sirius's grandfather's Order of Merlin First Class.
- China with the Black family crest and motto.
- Rusty daggers
- Family photos in silver frames.
- A grandfather clock that shot heavy bolts at whomever passed by.
- A spidery instrument, rather like a many-legged pair of tweezers, which scurried away and tried to puncture Harry's skin.
- An unopenable locket which turned out to be Salazar Slytherin's Locket.
- A music box that played a faintly sinister, tinkling tune that when wound nearly knocked everyone out.
- A large and golden ring bearing the Black family crest.
- An ancient set of purple robes that tried to strangle Ron when they were removed from their wardrobe.
- Several ancient seals.
- Mounted House-elf heads
- Coiled snakeskin
- A snuffbox
- A nest of dead puffskeins under a sofa
- A piano, on which Hermione Granger taught Ron Weasley how to play "Für Elise".
The name is another of J. K. Rowling's puns: Grimmauld Place can be taken as "grim, old place" or "grim mould place."
Behind the scenesEdit
- The inheritance of the property by Sirius Black is almost certainly governed by the magical equivalent of the English Common Law concept of the Entailed Estate. Under this type of arrangement, the inheritance of the covered property by the designated heir ("down the direct line, to the next male with the name of 'Black'") cannot be prevented by disinheritance or any other legal means. The only way the entail breaks is if there is no living descendant who matches the conditions of the entail. When the entail breaks, the property in question can be disposed of by any legal means, including being willed to any person the current holder so chooses. This legal mechanism matches the known circumstances of the inheritance, where the property was inherited by Sirius despite the fact that he was "disowned", and then could be successfully left to Harry Potter once there was no "direct line, male descendant."
- It is possible that the house wasn't abandoned until 1992, the year both Cygnus and Cassiopeia Black, died.
- In the films, Harry's inheritance of the house is omitted.

Asaaj Ventress - Chapter 3
Walkthrough - Asaaj Ventress - Chapter 3
Chapter 3 - The Blue Shadow Virus[edit]
As Ahsoka, make your way all the way to the far end of the level, destroying droids and proximity sensors along the way. When you've cleared the area, use your Clone to place a bomb on the console and hop down the hole.
As you progress down the hall with Ahsoka, use the Force to pull the purple block off of the doors that the droids are spawning from. When you arrive at the next pair of doors, use your Clone to grapple the doors shut. Move a little farther and you'll meet some red-shielded Destroyer Droids. Hold the Switch Character Button to let Obi-Wan take over.
Hop into the turret and destroy all four satellites to take down the shield. Then, destroy the circular platform. When you get closer to the new hole, hop in. Fight your way to the right until you reach the contraption hanging from the ceiling with two purple end-pieces. Use the Force to remove both ends and jump down into the hole.
Use the Force to put together the loose pieces in front of the door and use the Clone to interact with the new console. Once inside, head to the left side of the back wall and use the Clone to grapple on the indicated hook. Place one of the Jedi on the platform and switch to the other Jedi. Then, use your midi-chlorians to raise your Jedi partner to the ledge on the center. Finally, use the Jedi to cut through the panel in the center and Anakin will be able to enter the area.
As Anakin, run through the hall until you meet your first Destroyer Droid. Use the Force to throw any stray object at it and you'll destroy its shield. Finish the job with your lightsaber and move on
As you move down the hall, switch to your Clone when you find your first open blast door on the right. Grapple with the Action Button to close the door. Do the same with the door on the left and move on. Destroy the next two Destroyer Droids with the same strategy as before, Master Jedi. Head to the door on the right with the Jedi insignia on the ground and cut it open. Knocking, as we all know, is for losers.
You'll enter a room to find your ladylove and that Jar Jar character captured and helpless. Naturally, the only course of action is to kill their captor. Use the Force to throw any stray container at him. He'll jump from platform to platform, but repeat this process until he flees.
After reuniting with Jar Jar and Padme, use Jar Jar to double-jump up and pull the remaining red switch to exit the room. Next, take Padme to the left and use your grapple to climb the wall. Step on one of the two switches and Jar Jar will take the other.
In the next room, you'll have to destroy plants to reveal a droid's hiding spots. Start by choosing the left one at the far end of the room. Shoot the droid and he'll hide once more. Next, choose the left one at the front of the room. Follow it up with the right one in the middle of the room and then the right one in the front of the room. The final one should be the left one in the middle of the room.
Follow the droid in to the next room and open fire. Battle droids will spawn, so make sure to take care of those to avoid damage, but shoot the target droid five times to disassemble it. Hold the Action Button to build the broken parts into a switch. Pull the switch and your work with Jar Jar and Padme will be done.
After switching control to Obi-Wan and Anakin, make your way down the hallway until you're stopped by the closed blast door. Cut it open and prepare for the final fight of the level.
We're sure you don't need telling, but when the boss throws projectiles at you, redirect them back at him using the Force. Make sure to destroy any battle droids that are a direct threat to you. Hit him four times with the projectiles to defeat him.

Earth : Europe : Britain and Ireland : United Kingdom : England : East of England : Norfolk (England) : Broads
The Broads [3] (also commonly referred to as the 'Norfolk Broads') is an historic and scenic area in the east of the English county of Norfolk, close to the Suffolk border and also extending into that county. It consists of a network of mostly navigable rivers, lakes and marshes. A large portion of the Broads now falls within the irregular boundaries of the recently gazetted Broads National Park.
For many years the broads were regarded as natural features of the landscape. It was only in the 1960s that Dr Joyce Lambert proved that they were artificial features, the effect of flooding on early peat excavations.
The Romans first exploited the rich peat beds of the area for fuel, and in the Middle Ages the local monasteries began to excavate the peat lands as a business, selling fuel to Norwich and Great Yarmouth. Then the sea levels began to rise, and the pits began to flood. Despite the construction of windpumps and dykes, the flooding continued and resulted in the typical Broads landscape of today, with its reed beds, grazing marshes and wet woodland.
The Broads largely follows the line of the rivers and natural navigations of the area. There are seven navigable rivers, the River Yare and its (direct and indirect) tributaries the Rivers Bure, Thurne, Ant, Waveney, Chet and Wensum.
The broads themselves range in size from small pools to the large expanses of Hickling Broad, Barton Broad and Breydon Water. The broads are unevenly distributed, with far more broads in the northern half of Broadland (the Rivers Bure, Thurne and Ant) than in the central and southern portions (the Rivers Yare, Waveney, Chet and Wensum).
Some of the larger broads form nationally important freshwater marshes.
Flora and fauna[edit]
The Broads are a very important remnant of the wetlands that once dominated much of the East Anglia. A number of species found here are very scarce in the United Kingdom and even found nowhere else.
The birdlife is especially popular with visitors and specialist broad-land species include Bittern, Marsh Harrier and Bearded Tit.
The spectacular yellow and black Swalllowtail Butterfly is found at many locations in The Broads, but nowhere else in the whole of the UK.

Within the confines of the Broads National Park, there are several important conservation areas. Some of the larger specific reserve areas include:

Since the Norfolk Broads is now the UK's largest nationally protected wetland and an important area for wildlife, there are plenty of outdoor activities to do. You won't find any clubbing spots here but there are many family pub restaurants along the Broads.
One of the main activities is to rent a boat and cruise along the river for a few days, stopping at pubs along the way.
Getting out on the water is one of the best ways to explore this area. There of course some beautiful walks and circular cycling routes to be explored in the Broads National Park.

EAST BETHEL, Minn. - Graphic dash-cam video released by the Anoka Counthy Sheriff's Department shows the moment a deer was struck by an oncoming vehicle, a collision that launched the animal onto the windshield of a passing deputy.
According to a post on the Anoka County Sheriff's Office Facebook page:
On Wednesday night, Dec. 6, a deputy was slightly injured after becoming involved in a "secondary deer collision."
The incident took place in the 1600 Block of Briarwood Lane Northeast in the city of East Bethel, about 30 miles north of Minneapolis.
A deer ran out in front of an oncoming vehicle and was struck. The impact of that collision sent the deer into the air before it crashed through the windshield of the oncoming patrol car.
The sheriff's office encourages all drivers to be as cautious as they can when traveling in open, wooded areas.
Nearly two months ago, the Isanti County Sheriff's Department in Minnesota released dash-cam video of one of their deputy's striking a deer while driving 114 mph.
The officer in that crash was responding to a report of a man with a gun at a restaurant in Cambridge.
The bumper guard on the front end was bent, the windshield completely smashed, the hood nearly torn off and the engine was left smoking after the accident.
The deputy was able to escape uninjured, as bodycam video showed him exiting the vehicle and monitoring the area of the crash.
