(a) This is a non-GAAP financial measure. The definition and reconciliation of GAAP to this non-GAAP financial measure are included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".
(b) The adjusted net income excludes a one-time government grant of $722,535 and associated income tax provision of $90,000.
Financial Results
Revenue for the third quarter of 2012 was $7.9 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 34%, from $5.9 million for the same quarter in 2011. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $22.4 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 16%, from $19.2 million for the same period in 2011. The increases in revenue during the quarter and YTD of 2012 versus the same periods last year are mainly attributable to continued gas volume growth (109% in Q3'12 and 115% YTD) and a 15% price increase from the CNG refueling retail station. Piped gas sales from its operation in the Sanya Region for the quarter and YTD of 2012 were relatively flat compared to the same periods of 2011 due to limited sources of gas supply. Pipeline connection fees from its operation in the Sanya Region for the quarter and YTD of 2012 increased by 40% and 17%, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2011 due to an increase in the number of residential customers and an increase in certain higher-value commercial customers despite fewer commercial connections.
Gross profit
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2012 increased by $1.1 million (or 54%) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $3.1 million (or 41%), compared to the same periods of 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the third quarter and nine months of 2012 increased by 5% to 40% and by 8% to 47%, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2011. CNG refueling retail station gross margins year- over-year improved 9% due primarily to sale price increases and lower operating costs as a result of gas volume increase. Piped gas gross margins year-over-year improved 6% reflecting the reduced volume of gas purchased at market rate prices. Pipeline connection fee margins year-over-year improved 19% due to higher-value commercial customers.
Operating expenses
General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2012 increased by $0.3 million (or 22%) to $1.7 million and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $0.9 million (or 24%) to $4.4 million, compared to the same periods of 2011. The increases were attributable to general expenses increases including employee salary and benefits as a result of a high inflation rate in China, and sales increases. General and administrative expense as a percentage of sales for the quarter of 2012 decreased by 2% to 21%, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by 1% to 20%, compared to the same periods of 2011.
Travel and business development expenses for the third quarter of 2012 increased by $0.2 million (or 28%) to $0.8 million and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $1.0 million (or 50%) to $2.9 million, compared to the same periods of 2011. The increases were attributable to the travel and business development activities in mainland China as the Company seeks to develop new projects in close proximity to the new national pipelines. Included in this amount was a $0.2 million one-time sponsorship fee for a provincial-level table tennis tournament. The majority of the travel and business development expenses did not relate to the Company's business in the Sanya Region or the CNG retail station but instead related to projects under consideration or development in mainland China.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") as defined in the Management Discussion and Analysis for the third quarter of 2012 increased by $0.7 million, or 120%, to $1.4 million and for the nine months ended September 30,2012 increased by $2.2 million, or 65%, to $5.6 million, compared to the same periods of 2011. The increases were primarily attributable to the reasons noted above relating to the sales increases, higher gross margins and a $0.7 million one-time government grant, partially offset by higher operating expenses.
Net income (loss)
The net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $0.06 million or $0.001 per basic and diluted share compared to a net loss of $0.3 million or -$0.005 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2011, primarily due to the reasons stated above. The net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1.7 million, or $0.026 per basic and diluted share compared to $0.5 million or $0.008 per basic and diluted share for the same period of 2011.
Financial position
Cash increased by $0.1 million to $5.2 million at September 30, 2012 from $5.1 million at December 31, 2011, primarily from cash provided by operating activities of $4.8 million and a government grant of $0.8 million, offset by cash used for capital expenditures of $1.4 million and $0.6 million of principal repayments of the bank term loans.
Working capital deficit as at September 30, 2012 was $10.4 million, relatively constant when compared to $10.7 million as at December 31, 2011.
The adjusted working capital as defined in the Management Discussion and Analysis under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" was $4.5 million as at September 30, 2012, compared to $2.4 million as at December 31, 2011.
Business Update
Xiangdong project, Xiangdong District, Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province
The Company continues to accelerate the first phase of construction at Xiangdong. Currently, the Company has completed construction of the 7km main pipelines and site preparation for construction of the citygate in the Park, and it is expected that the Company will be able to supply gas for the ceramic manufacturers in the Park by late 2012 upon completion of the first phase of construction. In addition, the Company is negotiating with a local bank for financing related to upcoming second phase of construction.
On October 30, 2012, the Company entered into its first pipeline installation contract with a local real estate developer. It is expected that the Company will supply gas for a condominium located in the downtown district with a total of 400 units by May 2013, depending upon the progress of construction of the condominium which is currently under construction.
A 24 kilometer pipeline connecting the Company's citygate to the existing intra-provincial pipeline network will be built by a state-owned company. Construction of this pipeline is postponed to mid-2013 subject to the approval of the development by the state-owned company. Once the pipeline is built, it will ship the gas from the PetroChina's Second West-East Pipeline to the Xiangdong district. Before that, the Company will purchase CNG to supply to its customers in this area. The gas quota as previously announced on November 23, 2011 will be saved and accumulated until the Company can access to the gas from the PetroChina's Second West-Ease Pipeline.
On November 13, 2012, the Company received the land use right for an 18-mu (approximately 1.20 hectare) parcel of land which is being used for the Company to construct a citygate for this project.
Sanya Operation, Sanya City, Hainan Province
In connection with the Gas & Electricity Exchange Program (the "Program") as previously announced on February 22, 2012 and April 30, 2012, a total of $0.4 million (RMB 2.4 million) has been paid as of September 30, 2012 for the first phase of construction of the Program. The completion of the first phase of construction is delayed to early 2013 due to certain engineering design modifications.
In addition, the Company's application to raise the sales prices for its commercial customers is waiting for the final approval by the Hainan Provincial Pricing Bureau. The price increase application was made based on the long term Budget Process previously announced on June 27, 2012 that was approved by Sanya Municipal government as part of the solution to address the gas shortage issue in the Sanya Region.
Proposed Joint Venture for the Pipeline Project, Guangdong Province
During the quarter, the Company continued to work on the proposed joint venture with the subsidiary of PetroChina as previously announced on March 29, 2012. An arm's- length pipeline project research firm has finalized a project feasibility study for supplying gas for one of the targeted industrial customers in these regions. The establishment of the proposed joint venture is subject to the approval by PetroChina after review of the feasibility study.
The proposed joint venture will build, own and operate natural gas pipelines to connect the potential industrial customers to an existing and/or planned intra-provincial pipeline network within four (4) cities in west Guangdong area. Those four (4) cities include Zhaoqing City, Foshan City, Zhuhai City and Jiangmen City.
CNG Refuelling Station, Changsha City, Hunan Province
On October 24, 2012, the Company reached an agreement with the existing shareholder of Hunan CNPC Guangda Gas Co., Ltd. ("Guangda Gas") for return of the good faith deposit in amount of RMB1.0 million (approx.$0.2 million) that was advanced in early 2010 in connection with the proposed acquisition of Guangda Gas. The good faith deposit will be repaid to the Company by way of partially offsetting gas purchase to be made from Guangda Gas over a ten-month period starting in November 2012.
Guangda Gas owns and runs a CNG wholesales station in the Changsha City and has been one of gas suppliers for the Company's CNG refueling retail station in the city.
Due to favorable market conditions after the PetroChina's Second West-East Pipeline commenced supplying gas for this region, the gas shortage situation has been significantly alleviated. As a result, the Company has no intention of proceeding with this proposed acquisition of Guangda Gas.
"We are pleased with our financial performance achieved for this quarter. We are also very pleased to see the progress we made to address the gas shortage issue in the Sanya Region, and the progress on our other projects under development in Mainland China, especially on the Xiangdong Project and Guangdong Project," stated Mr. Huajun Lin, Chairman and CEO of the Company. "We have nearly completed the first phase of construction of the Xiangdong Project, and remain on target to commence supply of gas for the Park in 2012. In addition, we are optimistic about the proposed joint venture with a subsidiary of PetroChina and see a tremendous opportunity ahead from the Guangdong Project."

Brooke Mueller's Team -- Jail Charlie Sheen!
Brooke Mueller's Team Jail Charlie!
Charlie Sheen could go to jail because of his tirades against Brooke Mueller this morning on TMZ ... because we've learned Brooke's team will ask a judge to throw the book at him.
Charlie spoke to us this morning and unloaded on his ex-wife, calling her a dangerous and evil whore who's putting their sons in danger with her abysmal parenting skills.
Brooke's team is livid, because everyone involved in the custody and guardianship cases are bound by a gag order. NO ONE is supposed to talk about the cases. We're told Brooke's team will ask the judge to sanction Charlie, and that could include sending him to jail for contempt of court.
Our sources say Brooke's team is especially angry because Charlie's diatribe came the very day Brooke was getting the kids for the first overnight visit since she entered rehab.

EXCLUSIVE: Gruesome horror feature complements French sales and production company's growing genre slate.
Paris-based Memento Film International (MFI) has picked up international rights to found footage horror picture S-VHS, following its premiere in the Midnight section of the Sundance Film Festival last week.
The picture is the sequel to V/H/S, which had members of the audience fainting in the aisles when it premiered in Sundance last year.
News of deal follows Friday's announcement that WmE, which represented North America, had sold the picture to Magnolia which also distributed V/H/S.
"We're already big fans of the first one, which was super scary and smart," said Memento head of international sales Tanja Meissner.
"This one takes it to another level. The talent of the directors involved and the new orientations on the found footage exercise makes this second installment a sure bet for theatrical releases around the globe."
S-VHS is produced by The Collective, Salient Media and Brad Miska's Bloody Disgusting. The portmanteau features segments by horror maestros Adam Wingard, Simon Barrett, Eduardo Sánchez, Gregg Hale, Timo Tjahjanto, Gareth Evans and Jason Eisener.
The deal was negotiated by Gary Binkow, CEO of The Collective on behalf of the production and MFI's Emilie Georges, Nicholas Shumaker and Meissner.
"We're excited to be working with Memento and can't wait for the World to see S-VHS and have their minds blown," said Binkow.
In S-VHS, two private investigators, searching for a missing student, break into an abandoned house where they discover a collection of mysterious VHS tapes. As they view the horrific contents of each cassette, the gruesome truth about the student's disappearance begins to emerge.
MFI's acquisition of S-VHS complements its growing auteur-driven genre slate. It's first foray into the genre field, Jim Mickle's loose remake of Jorge Michel Grau's cannibal picture We Are What We Are opened Sundance's Midnight section.
MFI will introduce the film to buyers at the upcoming EFM. Offers are already on the table for Japan, Australia, Latin America and Russia.

Quantum Teleportation Could Let Earth Phone ET's Home
Sep 6, 2012 12:01 PM PT
While no one should expect to beam up to the starship Enterprise anytime soon -- or ever -- researchers from the University of Vienna and the Austrian Academy of Sciences announced Thursday that they have achieved a new record in quantum teleportation.
(Photo: IQOQI/Vienna)
This isn't anything close to teleportation to near orbit. In fact, this new record resulted in teleportation of just 143 kilometers (roughly 89 miles), as the international team was able to successfully transmit quantum states between the Canary Islands of Palma and Tenerife. This surpassed the previous record of 97km set by researchers in China earlier this year.
Breaking the distance record wasn't actually the goal of this research, which represents a major step toward satellite-based quantum communication that could lead to a "quantum Internet."
"Our experiment shows how mature quantum technologies are today, and how useful they can be for practical applications," said Anton Zeilinger, Austrian physicist and leader of the international team.
"The next step is satellite-based quantum teleportation, which should enable quantum communication on a global scale," he explained. "We have now taken a major step in this direction and will use our know-how in an international cooperation, which involves our colleagues at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The goal is to launch a quantum satellite mission."
Telecommunications Through Teleportation
So, while that trip to the moon without a spaceship is likely not in the cards, the technology could vastly improve communication around the world. And that is just the beginning.
"Quantum communications provides two very powerful benefits," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group. "It is zero latency, and you can tell if the information has been observed before you get it."
It could also provide a greater level of security that is simply not available in most wireless communications today.
"Even quantum-level encryption could be decrypted with similar technology -- but if you know the information is being observed without permission, you can act instantly to stop the exposure," Enderle told TechNewsWorld.
Those close to the program also emphasize the security benefits.
"Quantum communication has some advantages with regards to classified communication," said Rupert Ursin, deputy director of the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. "It can be made absolutely secure. But unfortunately, if the channel is blocked, it's also blocked for the quantum."
In addition to the communication applications, quantum teleportation could allow for control of devices from greater distances, so that people could do jobs remotely.
"This technology could be used to have centralized people or systems fly planes, drive cars, pilot ships or fly spaceships." Enderle added. "Remote robots could be more reliably used -- and human controlled -- for everything from deep sea exploration and repair to exploring the galaxy. Imagine medical specialists being able to instantly appear to save lives anyplace in the world through even more capable remote operating rooms, both for civilians and soldiers. This technology could even make physical travel obsolete."
Quantum Hurdles to Overcome
However, even with the potential that quantum teleportation could offer, there are still many hurdles that have yet to be cleared. Among the next steps is to beam signals -- but not actual matter -- to satellites that fly in low orbit, between 200 and 1,200 km above the Earth.
This is just one of many challenges the researchers face.
"The quantum memory is still very much in its infancy," said Ursin.
Sending the signals via quantum teleportation is far more complex than sending traditional wireless signals he added.
"You can't measure and repeat as you can with WiFi," Ursin, who has worked with Zeilinger since 2002, told TechNewsWorld. "This is something that is far more complex. Additionally, we need memory and we're not quite there yet."
The reward could certainly be worth the effort, as it could allow for communication to distant parts, even if we still need to figure out how to get there.
"Quantum teleportation for communication is a big deal, as it may make nearly instant communication with other planets possible," said futurist Glen Hiemstra. "Imagine what could be done with no delay between Earth and Mars, instead of the 7-minute round trip that scientists must cope with now."
Back at home it could be useful too.
"In the world of global trading, there is a race to have the fastest communication possible," added Hiemstra. "Using quantum states and entangled photons could again make communication essentially instant."

The Knowledge Transfer Centre is among several research buildings developed by the University of Sheffield and designed by Bond Bryan architects. The complex is a stunning exemplar for highly insulating Kalwall which is used as wall cladding on all the buildings, diffusing natural daylight and providing well-lit working environments. The emphasis on BREEAM Excellent ratings, low running costs and carbon neutrality is well described in Buro Happold's report about the projects and the architects have noted that Kalwall has helped to achieve enhanced 'U'-values and solar control. Kalwall has also been the component to provide a campus feel to the site, not least of all because the buildings all glow in the evening. READ MORE >>

The white room was illuminated by fluorescent lighting. It was absolutely spotless, completely sterile and in the opinion of Klaus Jr, completely boring. Where were the skulls? The fire? The daemonic incantations? Instead there were a few computers being worked at by pathetic weaklings. The Trattorian Empire was a nation built on intelligence, engineering, science and education. The Trattorian people were bred to be smart, labourious and focused. Whereas a normal fig might only be concerned with fighting, fucking, and boozing, Trattorians were only interested in fighting, engineering, science, math and writing standardized tests. To Klaus Jr., they were witless cowards who resembled pests more than allies.
"Greetings Kaiserin Siri, it's lovely to meet you." Klaus Jr. extended his hand, smiling warmly at Siri. "Likewise, Klaus." She smiled back, and it was almost cute of her. As a woman Siri didn't have much to offer him. She was cold, flat-chested and had no ass to speak of. Her face was pretty though. Green slanted eyes on pure yellow skin. She took his hand and shook it firmly. Her hand was dainty compared to his, but it was still strong. Probably from all the pencil pushing Trattorians did. "Madamoiselle Siri, can we move this conversation to somewhere more private?" "Of course, follow me."
Siri was flanked by two guardsmen. Unlike the ship's staff, they were true warriors. They were clad in black armour, which accentuated their muscles and physical stature. They brandished batons to inspire fear and show discipline. Trattorians were vermin, but the guards could be considered men. The trio lead Klaus Jr. to a small room. Unlike the rest of the ship which was sleek, round and white this room was dark and illuminated with blue lights. "Very futuristic. What room is this?"
"This is a private compartment for the use of personnel with social anxiety." Social anxiety? What kind of masochist would sign up on a boat with thousands of crewmembers?
"Yes, if they turn up here we discipline them. A Trattorian officer that fears her own crew has no chance of leading them." "Very true Siri."
"Now Siri, I came to meet you in order to offer what you've always wanted. Eternal life." Siri looked at Klaus Jr., her expression unchanged.
Klaus Jr. produced a small vial of light red liquid from his armour. "This fluid is the blood of Thadderyagh, spilled in battle millenia ago. As long as Thadderyagh lives his blood cells grant life and vitality."
"Interesting. I'll have a team analyze it, what do you want in return?"
"You can either inject it here or not at all. I will have no one else touching the blood of Thadderyagh. As for the price, I'll take my reward as soon as I think of it."
Siri furrowed her brow. "There's no way I'm going to stick an unknown chemical from a foreigner into my veins. I bet you even packed a dirty needle. So do we have a deal or not, Junior?"
Klaus' epaulettes glowed. They shifted and grew into golden armour, covering his vital areas. "Alright, since you insist it is only fair that we make a new deal." Golden spikes launched out of Klaus' armour, impaling the guards between the eyes. "You have no leverage, Siri." Siri pulled a pistol from her jacket and fired point blank. Klaus continued to smile as his armour absorbed the bullets harmlessly. He extended his hand, and a golden arm reached out of the armour. It fitted itself into Klaus' glove and formed into a spear. Siri's pistol jammed, and she quickly tried to reload the cartridge, but it was too late. "Urghk". She yelped as his spear tore through her arm. "Guards!"
"Hush now Siri. We're going away for a while now." Klaus held the spear and cleaved through the fabric of reality, creating a black portal. He carried Siri over his shoulder, and leapt through. The fabric sealed itself behind him.
Klaus held Siri firmly as he walked through the darkness. He had memorized the route perfectly, as a misstep meant death. Sleeping around him were death turtles. These beasts could stand up on two legs, and kil anything with a single touch. He made his way through their den, and arrived at a very moist cavern with an oval shaped entrance. It was a tight fit, and the walls were coarse with bumps, but with some effort they made it through. At the end of the tunnel was a room. Klaus' hand glowed green, and lanterns illuminated the pitch black area. Two perfectly spherical orbs sat in the center, resting at the top of two phallic pillars. Klaus put Siri down against the wall and healed her bleeding arm with a whispered spell. Siri breathed heavily, and began stuttering.
"Where are we?" she said, trying to keep her composure. Klaus leaned over her. "It's hard to find the veins in the dark, even with my knowledge of the body." He stuck the needle into her, and plunged. "Rainbow transparent is an interesting chemical. As you know, it's effects on the Trattorian body are different than normal minifigs." Siri punched Klaus in the face, and ran for the entrance. She made it three feet before she fell down. A golden knife had lodged itself in the back of her leg. Klaus kept his devilish smirk. "You Trattorians were never good at running were you? A Bavarian student could probably run faster than your best soldier." Klaus put his hand on her back, and held her shirt while he pulled the knife out. Siri yelped, and once more he healed her, whispering the same old words.
"The rainbow transparent will take it's effects soon. Right now you're growing a set of functioning genitalia. You'll also lose some knowledge of science and math. It will be replaced by a new libido." Klaus turned her over. "Maybe you'll get a set of breasts too." Siri began to sweat, and shake. "How do you know all of this?" she asked. "You don't think you're the first do you?"

Pole shift hypothesis
The cataclysmic pole shift hypothesis suggests that there have been geologically rapid shifts in the relative positions of the modern-day geographic locations of the poles and the axis of rotation of the Earth, creating calamities such as floods and tectonic events.[1]
There is evidence of precession and changes in axial tilt, but this change is on much longer time-scales and does not involve relative motion of the spin axis with respect to the planet. However, in what is known as true polar wander, the solid Earth can rotate with respect to a fixed spin axis. Research shows that during the last 200 million years a total true polar wander of some 30° has occurred, but that no super-rapid shifts in the Earth's pole were found during this period.[2] A characteristic rate of true polar wander is 1° or less per million years.[3] Between approximately 790 and 810 million years ago, when the supercontinent Rodinia existed, two geologically rapid phases of true polar wander may have occurred. In each of these, the magnetic poles of the Earth shifted by ~55°.[4]
Definition and clarification[edit]
The geographic poles are defined by the points on the surface of the Earth that are intersected by the axis of rotation. The pole shift hypothesis describes a change in location of these poles with respect to the underlying surface – a phenomenon distinct from the changes in axial orientation with respect to the plane of the ecliptic that are caused by precession and nutation, and is an amplified event of a true polar wander.
Pole shift hypotheses are not connected with plate tectonics, the well-accepted geological theory that the Earth's surface consists of solid plates which shift over a viscous, or semifluid asthenosphere; nor with continental drift, the corollary to plate tectonics which maintains that locations of the continents have moved slowly over the face of the Earth,[5] resulting in the gradual emerging and breakup of continents and oceans over hundreds of millions of years.[6]
Pole shift hypotheses are not the same as geomagnetic reversal, the periodic reversal of the Earth's magnetic field (effectively switching the north and south magnetic poles).
Speculative history[edit]
In popular literature, many conjectures have been suggested involving very rapid polar shift. A slow shift in the poles would display the most minor alterations and no destruction. A more dramatic view assumes more rapid changes, with dramatic alterations of geography and localized areas of destruction due to earthquakes and tsunamis.
Early proponents[edit]
An early mention of a shifting of the Earth's axis can be found in an 1872 article entitled "Chronologie historique des Mexicains"[7] by Charles Étienne Brasseur de Bourbourg, a specialist in Mesoamerican codices who interpreted ancient Mexican myths as evidence for four periods of global cataclysms that had begun around 10,500 BCE. In 1948, Hugh Auchincloss Brown, an electrical engineer, advanced a hypothesis of catastrophic pole shift. Brown also argued that accumulation of ice at the poles caused recurring tipping of the axis, identifying cycles of approximately seven millennia.[8][9]
In his controversial 1950 work Worlds in Collision, Immanuel Velikovsky postulated that the planet Venus emerged from Jupiter as a comet. During two proposed near approaches in about 1,450 BCE, he suggested that the direction of the Earth's rotation was changed radically, then reverted to its original direction on the next pass. This disruption supposedly caused earthquakes, tsunamis, and the parting of the Red Sea. Further, he said near misses by Mars between 776 and 687 BCE also caused the Earth's axis to change back and forth by ten degrees. Velikovsky cited historical records in support of his work, although his studies were generally ridiculed by the scientific community.[10]
Charles Hapgood is now perhaps the best remembered early proponent. In his books The Earth's Shifting Crust (1958) (which includes a foreword by Albert Einstein)[11][12] and Path of the Pole (1970), Hapgood, building on Adhemar's much earlier model,[citation needed] speculated that the ice mass at one or both poles over-accumulates and destabilizes the Earth's rotational balance, causing slippage of all or much of Earth's outer crust around the Earth's core, which retains its axial orientation. Based on his own research, Hapgood argued that each shift took approximately 5,000 years, followed by 20,000- to 30,000-year periods with no polar movements. Also, in his calculations, the area of movement never covered more than 40 degrees. Hapgood's examples of recent locations for the North Pole include Hudson Bay (60˚N, 73˚W), the Atlantic Ocean between Iceland and Norway (72˚N, 10˚E) and Yukon (63˚N, 135˚W). However, in his subsequent work The Path of the Pole, Hapgood conceded Einstein's point that the weight of the polar ice would be insufficient to bring about a polar shift. Instead, Hapgood argued that the forces that caused the shifts in the crust must be located below the surface.[13] Hapgood wrote to a Canadian librarian, Rand Flem-Ath, encouraging him in his pursuit of scientific evidence to back Hapgood's claims and in his expansion of the hypothesis. Flem-Ath published the results of this work in 1995 in When the Sky Fell co-written with his wife.[14]
In 1974 Flavio Barbiero, an engineer and explorer, theorized that shifting of the Earth's axis took place 11,000 years ago and caused what was subsequently recorded in myth as the destruction of Atlantis and Mu. He suggested that shifting was probably caused by the impact of a comet on the Earth's surface and that the current position of Atlantis has to be sought under the Antarctic ice sheet.[15]
Recent conjectures[edit]
The field has attracted a number of authors offering a variety of evidence.
In the 1970s and 1980s a series of books not intended as fiction by former Washington newspaper reporter Ruth Shick Montgomery elaborates on Edgar Cayce readings.[16]
In 1997 Richard W. Noone published 5/5/2000, ICE: The Ultimate Disaster. This book argued that a cataclysmic shift of the Earth's ice cap covering Antarctica caused by a planetary alignment and solar storms, would lead to crustal displacement on May 5, 2000.[17]
In 1998 retired civil engineer James G. Bowles proposed in Atlantis Rising magazine a mechanism by which a polar shift could occur. He named this Rotational-Bending, or the RB-effect. He hypothesized that combined gravitational effects of the Sun and the Moon pulled at the Earth's crust at an oblique angle. This force steadily wore away at the underpinnings that linked the crust to the inner mantle. This generates a plastic zone that allows the crust to rotate with respect to the lower layers. Centrifugal forces would act on the mass of ice at the poles, causing them to move to the equator.[18]
Books on this subject have been published by William Hutton, including the 1996 book Coming Earth Changes: Causes and Consequences of the Approaching Pole Shift (ISBN 0876043619), which compared geologic records with the psychic readings of Edgar Cayce and predicted catastrophic climate changes before the end of 2001. In 2004 Hutton and co-author Jonathan Eagle published Earth's Catastrophic Past and Future: A Scientific Analysis of Information Channeled by Edgar Cayce (ISBN 1-58112-517-8), which summarizes possible mechanisms and the timing of a future pole shift.
Scientific research[edit]
While there are reputable studies showing that true polar wander has occurred at various times in the past, the rates are much smaller (1° per million years or slower) than predicted by the pole shift hypothesis (up to 1° per thousand years).[2][3][19] Analysis of the evidence does not lend credence to Hapgood's hypothesized rapid displacement of layers of the Earth.[20] Data indicate that the geographical poles have not deviated by more than about 5° over the last 130 million years, contradicting the hypothesis of a cataclysmic polar wander event.[21] More rapid past possible occurrences of true polar wander have been measured: from 790 to 810 million years ago, true polar wander of approximately 55° may have occurred twice.[4] There is no known physical evidence of more rapid shifts occurring at any point during Earth's history.

As a new user of POCOMAIL and a seasoned user of Time and Chaos, I may say that the couple is smashing!
I tried "!ntellect" too, and was not so happy with their Mail client.
Only trouble to "evangelize" and "convert" my friends, both are in English!
Had I not everything installed on Time and Chaos 7, I would probably have turned to Barca (the planner is very useful!).
But POCOMAIL is "the" mailer, and the helpdesk is very cool and useful (thanks Tomas!)

There are few sounds on the planet more pleasing to a car lover than a Ferrari engine under acceleration. Accordingly if you have access to an Italian exotic from Maranello it seems only natural to frequently drive through tunnels for the sole purpose of amplifying the beautiful sound from the screaming engine.
Luckily for those of us who don't have a Ferrari to cruise in, someone who does headed for a tunnel in Shanghai, China and recorded it. The source of the aural pleasure in question is the 670 horsepower 6 liter V12 found under the hood of the 599 GTO.
Given the glorious sound this Ferrari makes we can understand why so many owners are willing to overlook the inherent fire risk that comes with buying one.

US Federal Reserve officials signaled they may taper their US$85 billion in monthly bond buying "in coming months" if the economy improves as anticipated.
Policymakers "generally expected that the data would prove consistent with the committee's outlook for ongoing improvement in labor market conditions and would thus warrant trimming the pace of purchases in coming months," according to the record of the Federal Open Market Committee's Oct. 29-30 meeting, released on Wednesday in Washington.
"It sounds like they're moving closer to tapering" bond buying, New York-based UBS Securities LLC economist Sam Coffin said. "There's a lot more focus on their forward guidance and a lot of that is because if they're moving closer to tapering, they want to signal they'll stay easy after the tapering has begun."
The committee's minutes show extensive discussion on how to increase the clarity of their plans to hold interest rates near zero. They made no decisions on those plans.
"There's still a ton of ideas, but it doesn't seem like the committee is coalescing around a single path of action just yet," said Stamford, Connecticut-based Pierpont Securities LLC chief economist Stephen Stanley, a former Richmond Fed researcher.
In Europe, where policymakers are confronted with a Japan-like threat of deflation, officials are considering a new tool — a negative interest rate for commercial lenders who park excess cash at the European Central Bank (ECB).
The ECB is discussing a cut of less than the typical quarter percentage point magnitude, two people with knowledge of the debate say.
Most participants said lowering the rate "could be worth considering at some stage, although the benefits of such a step were generally seen as likely to be small, except possibly as a signal of policy intentions," the minutes said.
Officials debated how to clarify or strengthen their communication about the economic thresholds guiding how long interest rates will stay low. The committee has said it will hold rates near zero at least as long as unemployment remains above 6.5 percent and the outlook for inflation is subdued.
A couple of committee members supported reducing the threshold below its current level of 6.5 percent, while others said such a move may raise concerns about the Fed's commitment to the thresholds.
Several said it "could be more helpful" to better explain their intentions for the federal funds rate after the jobless rate falls to 6.5 percent, the minutes said.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said on Tuesday that the Fed will probably hold down its main interest rate long after ending its bond buying, and possibly after unemployment falls below 6.5 percent.
St Louis Fed President James Bullard has proposed adding an "inflation floor" as part of policy guidance, specifying that the Fed would not raise interest rates with inflation below 1.5 percent.
"You have to take the inflation target seriously, defend the target from the low level," Bullard said in an interview on Wednesday in Chicago. "I continue to be concerned about this issue."
The minutes said "in general" the benefits of that proposal were viewed as "uncertain and likely to be rather modest."
The committee has pledged to press on with so-called quantitative easing until seeing substantial improvement in the outlook for the labor market. Employers added 204,000 workers to payrolls last month, more than forecast by economists, and the unemployment rate has fallen to 7.3 percent from the 8.1 percent rate the month before the central bank began a third round of bond buying in September last year.

Topic: Red vs Blue: Discussion SPOILERS
Anyways, I wanted to open a topic for Spoiler full discussion of RvB: Reconstruction, and the Finale. So, thoughts?
--Captain Dynamic--
Message Boards - Boba Fett Fan Club → Fans → Red vs Blue: Discussion SPOILERS
Anyways, I wanted to open a topic for Spoiler full discussion of RvB: Reconstruction, and the Finale. So, thoughts?
So is the Church at the end the real Church? The one they based the Alpha off of? Only slightly confused.
Have you read the Halo Books? In them, it is explained that all smart AI are based off the brain of a human, usually one of a dead human. But if a Brain is flash-cloned, perhaps 1 in 20 will be capable of being mapped and an AI formed. So Church, the Director, had his brain turned into an AI, which became the Alpha. He was confident that because the AI was himself, he wouldn't be able to be convicted. Church also had his childhood memories.
I'm not sure what the means about Tex......is she supposed to be the loved one the Director lost? But all the Reds and Blues saw her....was she another part of Church, another facet of his personality? And was that her body at the end, where Caboose said, "Lets see if this works." I think it might be, but that he plans on putting Epsilon inside. Or something.
They better do a new series.
I hope Alpha is still alive. Like I said, being the original, wouldn't he have a safeguard against the emp? I hope that they make a series where they go back to BG (the same timeline as the original) and make a new series where the AI alpha isn't Church, because, he's awesome.
I doubt it--it doesn't really affect the story much (at least as far as the original series goes). But I AM curious about Tex, the body near Caboose at the VERY end, Tucker, and definitely Church. And Wash.
I loved how even the computer said "emp", as in sounded out, at the end. And Churches last words were hilarious. But yeah, I'm guessing a follow up series, bringing back any characters that weren't in this. If you read the blog post in the general discussion topic, then you can tell Burnie alludes to a follow up. And more maps will come out in the next 3 or so months, giving them even more environment options.
RT is AMAZING with filmography. There are at least 2 CG parts in the first ep (the holograpic ship, and a figure that waves from a tunnel before they find the Red soldier), and another big one later. And the opening scene has way more than the 16 people allowed in a single match, so they combined several.
But you can't really have a blue team without Church.
He's the most popular blue (for the people I know personally), and without him, blue team isn't the same.
Oh yeah. Caboose....without someone to tell him what to do, who knows what would happen. And I don't want to even think of what Tucker would do if he was in control. Tex could MAYBE keep things under control, but is she is gone....I love Church though.
Tucker in control...? I can't imagine after every order hearing Bow chica bow wow. Tex would probably get hired by the Reds to kill the Blues, so she isn't a good leader either. They should make a series called Everybody Loves Church. Besides wahtever happened to Church, do you know what happened to Donut?
Nope, he wasn't mentioned at all in Reconstruction. So no idea.
Donut was mentioned once.
Sarge: "Gather the troops...well, I can't call in Donut, so that leaves Simmons and Grif..."
Ok. Whats your opinion on the ending, with Caboose and Epsilon?
I think he's trying to revive Tex...if he found her. I just hope he doesn't transfer his memories over to Epsilon...that would be bad.
Epsilon is insane enough without Caboose confusing him further. He should probably just leave it alone. I hope Tex does come back, though. One of my favorite characters.
I bet they're all going to look for Church next season. And Tucker's kid. And yeah, Tex will probably come back, but meaner and more insane than ever.
Yeah, I imagine they'll continue the series where they left off--but Tex will only come back pissed and wanting to kill someone.
I was watching the original series recently, and when Sarge died, he met Church in the afetr-life...could be church be both a ghost and an AI? Wouldn't that give him a way to survive the emp?
But I don't think it would kill him. Where is his actual AI? The place where the computer itself was stored? Was inside the facility or somewhere else? His image may have been destroyed but the AI itself may have retreated back? Kind of a disorganized idea but it makes sense to me.
I doubt he'll fullly die--Burnie Burns, RT's head, voices him, so....I imagine he likes his own character. And Church is a huge favorite. And if he survives, they'll have a good reason. I hope they bring Tex and Tucker back, too.
Yah. We at least need the 6 in there. Church, Tucker, Caboose and Grif, Simmons, Sarge.
I know its been awhile since anyone has posted on this, but I heard on the Rooster Teeth website that they're starting a new mini-series of RvB tomorrow, so that might explain a few of the questions here.
TOMORROW! Are you sure? Because I am DYING for another series. I have heard news there will be two mini-series and then another full series. Didn't hear that it'd be NOW. Hold one.
Yes, check the blog and YOU ARE CORRECT! A four part minseries, interrupted by a PSA, begins TOMORROW! I'm officially the most pumped for a Monday I have ever been. Ever.
It will Apparently be called "Red vs Blue: Relocated"
And, in hopes of seeing Tucker....
Bow chick wow wow!!
I'm more hopeful of seeing Church. But you're right...this is probably the only time I've been pumped for a monday.
I was just on the site. Unfortunately the episode is only for sponsers. I don;t know about anyone else but I'm not a sponser...so I can't see it
Thats what I saw. Agreed, hopefully it'll be public by the time I go to bed. Or I'll watch it in the morning.
Can't wait till it goes public.
Just went public. Saw it just now. It was a pretty good way to open the series, nothing big yet, but I can't wait for the next episode!
EDIT: Forgot to mention, they don't show much of Blue Base, and Caboose doesn't have any lines in this one.

Sometimes interview questions are hard, whether the interviewer intends them to be, or not. It can come down to a choice of whether to use the limited interview time to code up an ugly, inefficient, brute-force solution, or spend the time understanding every aspect of the problem with the interviewer.
For example, Problem 91 at Project Euler can be solved by a not-so difficult brute-force solution of calculating every possible triangle, writing an isRightTriangle() test, and popping all triangles that pass the test into a set. But the two pair of X/Y coordinates make that an O(x^4) solution with a high constant value. A friend and I just came up with a solution that is much more elegant and efficient, but the two of us spent 3 hours on it and drew dozens of diagrams, tested multiple formulae, examined multiple approaches, etc.
Not every interview question is fair. Also what's easy for one person may be hard for another. If someone struggles with a question, would you be more impressed by a brute force ugly solution that works? Or excellent problem comprehension and in-roads toward an elegant solution, but no coded solution? Is there a rule like after 20 minutes you should just start coding no matter what?


text: Suka044 1 Posted December 4, 2012 so i was going to run tournaments at my local shop and they got in the league kits in and i have to say they are rather lame. the contents have 2 paper mats for beginers that show all the zones for both sides, a foam playmat thats the same picture as the box, a couple colored plastic click counters and some ID cards which the only use i found for those are for the front of the FF deck boxes. thats it.. the best thing about this league kit would have been the beginer mats IF they were the foam ones other than that who cares theres nothing worth playing in a tournament for. so my question is in the future is there going to be better kits with perhaps promo cards or foil cards anything?

Breaking News (158)
From HHS: How Consumers Can Use IT to Manage their Health InformationWritten by dan glaser
High-Tech Tools to Manage Your Health Information
Even if you don't use a computer, there are new ways to help manage your health information and improve how you and your health care providers communicate. This electronic technology (also called Health Information Technology or Health IT) can help improve the quality of your health care. It can also reduce paperwork, medical errors, and health care costs.
Here are two examples of Health IT that your health care providers might already be using:
Electronic Prescribing—An electronic way for your prescribers to write and send your prescriptions directly to your pharmacy.
Electronic prescribing can help you save money.· Providers can instantly check which drugs are covered under your insurance plan, so they can prescribe a covered drug that costs you less.Electronic prescribing can help you save time.· You no longer have to drop off a paper prescription and wait for the pharmacist to fill it. In most cases, your electronic prescription will be ready when you arrive.· There are fewer phone calls and faxes between your provider and your pharmacy. This means you get your prescriptions sooner.Electronic prescribing can help keep you safe.· Electronic prescriptions are easier for the pharmacist to read than handwritten prescriptions. This means there's less chance of prescription mistakes.· Prescribers will have secure access to your prescription history, so they can immediately alert your provider to potential drug interactions, allergies, or other health risks.
Electronic Health Records (EHRs)—An EHR is a safe and confidential computer record of your health care history and treatment that is used by your doctor, your doctor's staff, or a hospital. If your health care providers use EHRs, they can join a network to securely share your health records with other providers that treat you. This is sometimes called "health information exchange." Remember, just like your paper records, EHRs are protected by state and federal privacy laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.
EHRs can help improve the quality and efficiency of your health care in the following ways:
· Providing an instant medical history. This could be especially helpful in urgent care situations or when you are unable to provide information yourself, such as during an emergency room visit or if you are unconscious.
· Allowing all your doctors and other providers to see the same up-to-date information about your condition, treatments, tests, and prescriptions so they can better coordinate your care.
· Helping to lower the chances of medical errors and duplicate tests and treatments.Here are several examples of Health IT that you, the consumer, can use:
Personal Health Records (PHRs)—A collection of health information kept on a computer and maintained and updated by you or someone helping you.

EPD Seeks Public's Assistance with Recovering Prized Elk Horns Stolen During BurglaryWritten by dan glaser
On 11/23/10, at about 7:00 AM, Eureka Police Department officers responded to a business in the 3100 bock of F Street after a passerby reported the business' front window was shattered. Upon arriving and meeting with the owner, officers discovered an unknown suspect had forced entry into the business via the window sometime overnight. The suspect took only the victim's "prized Roosevelt Elk antlers," which had been in the front room.
According to the victim, the antlers had recently been measured and rated, and they were going to be listed in the Boone and Crockett Club's records book. The trophy antlers had an estimated value of $10,000.00.
Anyone with knowledge of the antler's whereabouts and/or the suspect's identity is asked to call the Eureka Police Department at (707) 441-4060 or 441-4044. (Investigating officer, Justin Winkle, reference case #3C10-9607).
Members of the media wishing to speak with the victim, Michael Grundman, may do so with his permission by calling (707) 496-2679.

Navy Meetings in Ukiah, Fort Bragg and EurekaWritten by dan glaser
At the request of Congressman Mike Thompson (D-North Coast), Dr. Jane Lubchenco, the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will hold a public meeting on Thursday, December 9 from 1:00-3:00 pm at the Mendocino Board of Supervisors Chambers in Ukiah.
Dr. Lubchenco will be taking comments from constituencies regarding such issues as the new National Ocean Policy and Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning initiative, fishing catch shares, salmon fishery issues, and other topics of local interest. Speakers from various entities are invited to make a short presentation and there will be time to respond to written questions.
"This is a time of great urgency and strong hope for the oceans," said Dr. Lubchenco to a group during Capitol Hill Ocean Week, adding, "I have had the pleasure of visiting communities on coastlines all around our country. During listening sessions with citizens representing a broad array of interests, I paid special attention to trying to understand what Americans want from their oceans and coasts."
"I'm pleased that Dr. Lubchenco has agreed to come and listen to the concerns of the residents of our district regarding these important issues," said Congressman Thompson. "The ocean and rivers of our district are essential to the well-being and prosperity of the families and the economy of the North Coast."
A marine ecologist and environmental scientist, Dr. Lubchenco became the first woman administrator of NOAA in March, 2009. Her scientific expertise includes oceans, climate change and interactions between the environment and people. Raised in Denver, she received a B.A. degree in biology from Colorado College, a M.S. in zoology from the University of Washington and a Ph.D. in ecology from Harvard University.
She subsequently taught at Harvard and then Oregon State University while actively studying marine ecosystems around the world and championing the importance of science and its relevance to policy making and human well-being.
Dr. Lubchenco has provided scientific input to multiple U.S. Administrations and Congress on climate, fisheries, marine ecosystems and biodiversity. As one of the 'most highly cited' ecologists in the world, Dr. Lubchenco has served on the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, and academies of science in Britain, Europe and Chile. She has received numerous awards including a MacArthur ('genius') Fellowship.
At the request of Congressman Mike Thompson (D-Napa Valley), representatives from the United States Navy will also hold public meetings regarding the Northwest Training Range Complex (NWTRC) on Wednesday, December 15th from 5:00-7:00 pm at theWharfinger Building in Eureka, and on Thursday, December 16th from 5:00-7:00 pm at Pentecost Hall at 822 Stewart Street in Fort Bragg.
"I requested that the Navy come to the North Coast to provide information for the community and answer their questions regarding the NWTRC," said Congressman Thompson. "A highly trained Navy, transparency regarding planned activities off our coast, and protection of marine life are not mutually exclusive."
The NWTRC is one of many Navy Range Complexes used for training of operational forces, equipment and other military activities. Based at Whidbey Island, near Puget Sound in Washington, the Navy has been training in the NWTRC since World War II. The bulk of the air, surface and subsurface activity takes place in waters off the state of Washington, but the scope of influence covers approximately 122,400 nautical miles and extends from Washington to the southern tip of Humboldt. Training exercises vary in scope and effect, and in California, are carried out between 12 and 250 miles offshore.
For more information contact Congressman Thompson's office at 707-962-0933 in Fort Bragg or 707-269-9595 in Eureka.
EPD Traffic Stops Leads to Driver's Arrest for Possession of Heroin for SaleWritten by dan glaser
On 11/30/10, at about 7:30 PM, an EPD patrol officer stopped a red Ford F-150 pick-up truck for traffic violations in the vicinity of 6th and P Streets. A subsequent records check revealed the driver, later identified as 30-year-old Jose Cantu Ramirez of Fortuna, was unlicensed. Cantu was also unable to provide sufficient proof of personal identification to officers.
POP officers responded to assist with an inventory search of Cantu's truck prior to its being impounded pursuant to 14602.6 CVC. Officers subsequently located approximately 23.8 grams (gross weight) of tar heroin packaged for sale and concealed inside a hidden container in the vehicle. Officers also located a digital gram scale with heroin residue (for weighing out controlled substances for sale) in the vehicle and $740.00 cash (suspected drug sales proceeds) in Cantu's pockets.
Cantu was arrested and transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility where he was booked for possession of heroin for sale, transportation of a controlled substance, and driving without a license. He was initially booked under a false name he gave officers at the scene: Claudio Ramirez Cantu. However, jail staff subsequently ascertained his true identity during the intake and booking process.

Child Care Gap Leaves Employers in LurchWritten by dan glaser
Budget cuts, low salaries and staff reductions are depriving Humboldt County families of needed child care, leaving preschoolers short-changed and making it harder for employers to fill jobs, according to a new analysis by Humboldt State University's California Center for Rural Policy. The report was commissioned by the Local Child Care Planning Council.
The CCRP's "Child Care Needs Assessment" found that about half the approximately 30,000 families in Humboldt County—11% of them single-parent households—were in the workforce. Those parents potentially require child care, and preschoolers are the largest group in need.
Yet the county's licensed child-care facilities are shutting down in considerable numbers despite steady growth in child population over the last decade. Seven facilities shut down last May alone, according to the CCRP. Caregivers, already low paid and buffeted by high turnover, are burdened with mounting state budget cuts that force care centers to lay off staff and reduce hours of service.
"We need to make sure decision-makers are aware of old rules that block new child care facilities," said Jeanine Canedo-Moncrief, chair of the Local Child Care Planning Council. "Our communities need child care addressed in local general plans. This assessment shows us all that the economy is affected by what happens in child care and that child care is a necessity."
"The CCRP needs assessment illuminates a serious burden for working families—and a challenge for our economy," added Wendy Rowan, executive director of First 5 Humboldt, the Humboldt County Children and Families Commission. "As child care capacity in the county decreases, employers will struggle with keeping the workforce they need."
The assessment also found that Humboldt County families are disproportionately affected by the cost of child care, already among the highest of family expenses. Full-time infant care in a licensed center averages 15% of income. Put another way, the average price of full-time infant care is nearly double the cost of college tuition.
But for a Humboldt family, the cost is 19%. And the high cost is the main barrier to care, according to the CCRP.
"As a council, we want the community to understand that although child care seems expensive, child-care providers have experience and education that warrant a living wage," Canedo-Moncrief said. "What is more, child care providers help prepare our children for school."
Monthly child care fees are often higher than a family's food expenses, and California is one of the most expensive states for child care, data show.
The CCRP analysis, approved by the Humboldt County Superintendent of Schools and signed off recently by the county's Board of Supervisors, also concluded that more and better child care data are needed. They should be collected frequently enough to detect trends amid the diversity of Humboldt County families, the study showed.
"It is difficult to find all of the necessary data in one place," said Melissa Jones, CCRP health policy analyst. "It's clear that child care is something the community depends on, and if we could show progress over time, it would be useful for advocates locally and statewide."
The Local Child Care Planning Council has 10 members drawn from providers, consumers, public agencies, administrators and the community. It is required to perform or commission a needs assessment every five years.
Canedo-Moncrief said the council will focus the results on educating various economic sectors and decision-makers on the importance of child care and the challenges it raises. "In light of program cuts and the reduced number of new licensed facilities, the time is now to help families in our community," she said.The assessment is available in full at https://www.humboldt.edu/ccrp/blog/humboldt-county-child-care-needs-assessment.

FDA issues consumer safety alert - Hyland's Teething TabletsWritten by dan glaser
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning that Hyland's Teething Tablets may pose a risk to children. The FDA recommends that consumers not use this product and dispose of any in their possession. The manufacturer is issuing a recall of this product.
The recalled products were distributed widely in California to various retail chain stores, pharmacies and supermarkets including but not limited to: Target, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Wal-Mart, CVS, Safeway, Winco Foods, and Grocery Outlet.
Hyland's Teething Tablets are manufactured to contain a small amount of belladonna, a substance that can cause serious harm at larger doses. For such a product, it is important that the amount of belladonna be carefully controlled. FDA laboratory analysis, however, has found that Hyland's Teething Tablets contain inconsistent amounts of belladonna. In addition, the FDA has received reports of serious adverse events in children taking this product that are consistent with belladonna toxicity. The FDA has also received reports of children who consumed more tablets than recommended because the containers do not have child resistant caps.
The FDA advises consumers to consult their health care professional if their child experiences symptoms such as seizures, difficulty breathing, lethargy, excessive sleepiness, muscle weakness, skin flushing, constipation, difficulty urinating, or agitation after using Hyland's Teething Tablets.
Hyland's Teething Tablets is an over-the-counter product intended to provide temporary relief of teething symptoms in children. The FDA has not evaluated Hyland's Teething Tablets for safety or efficacy, and is not aware of any proven clinical benefit offered by the product.
The FDA urges both health care professionals and consumers to report side effects from use of Hyland's Teething Tablets to the FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program. Consumer information is available at 888-INFO-FDA.
Humboldt County DA Press Release re Sean Lance HawkinsWritten by dan glaser
On 11-09-10, the Humboldt County District Attorney's Office – Criminal Investigations Bureau, assisted by the California Highway Patrol, conducted an enforcement operation in McKinleyville in an attempt to locate outstanding warrant suspect Sean Lance Hawkins – a 37 year old resident of 3593 Central Avenue.
Hawkins was not located and remains outstanding, but the operation led to the seizure of approximately (15) pounds of processed marijuana, a hashish extraction laboratory, volatile chemicals used during the extraction process, 16.0 grams of cocaine, 7.0 grams of hashish, 5.8 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, a large quantity of Ecstasy tablets, scales, packaging material, (14) firearms, and a law enforcement style ballistic vest with trauma plate. These items were located in a travel trailer occupied solely by Hawkins' 16 year old son, whose name is not being released due to his young age. Hawkins' son and 18 year old Blaine Martin were arrested for a variety of criminal charges and were booked at the Humboldt County Juvenile Hall and the Humboldt County Correctional Facility.
"Deeply concerning is the fact that a 16 year old boy was in possession of such a quantity of drugs, multiple firearms – one of which was an assault weapon, and an extremely dangerous hash extraction lab", stated HCDA Chief Investigator Mike Hislop. "With the smallest spark or the presence of static electricity, the lab could have become an incinerator, killing or maiming those involved in the manufacturing process, and quite possibly – innocent persons living nearby".
During the investigation, HCDA Investigators saw several vehicles occupied by what appeared to be high school age children arriving at the Hawkins' residence. Many stayed for a short period of time before leaving, a pattern that is indicative of illegal drug sales. Based on the possibility that drugs were being sold to high school students, the HCDA's Office forwarded the information to the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department School Resource Officer for follow-up with school officials.
Anyone with information regarding the location of Sean Hawkins is urged to contact law enforcement. Additionally, many of the firearms seized appear to be high quality collectibles, yet none return as being stolen in the Automated Firearm System. Anyone missing firearms is urged to contact HCDA Investigator Wayne Cox at 707-268-2591. Callers should be prepared to provide an accurate description of the missing firearm and serial numbers if available.

Facial Exercises - Facial Toning and Non Surgical Face Lift
Today, we have excellent facial toning opportunities for improving our appearance through facial exercises and giving us natural, youthful facial lifts. People who appear to have amazing skin may have undergone surgical facial lifts, but they may have learned about facial toning and non-invasive facial lifts. Facial toning is another term applicable to facial exercising, a non-surgical method for facial lifts.
The best and safest method for face lifts is through facial exercising. The proper exercise for face lifts remedies the cause of the aging process of the face by tightening elongated muscles, thereby producing face lifts where the contour has drooped, a firming up where the face appears flabby, and a filling out by rebuilding atrophying muscle tissues. Such face lifts are done in a natural and healthy way without invasive surgery, at no expense and in the privacy of your own home. The resulting face lifts result in youthful faces, which may be retained throughout life.
