John Peter Altgeld Is Born
Turn-of-the-century progressive reformer John Peter Altgeld was born in Germany on December 30, 1847.
Despite his humble origins as the son of immigrants, Altgeld was resourceful and passionate, successfully amassing a small fortune in real estate in Chicago in the second half of the nineteenth century. He was sympathetic to the plight of the poor and other victims of the second industrial revolution. Committing himself to politics, Altgeld was elected to the superior court of Cook county (1886-91), won his party's nomination for governor (1892), and was elected by the farm and labor vote.
As governor, Altgeld achieved much, including improvements to the penal system and passage of early child labor legislation. However, he is most famous for his pardon of the German-American anarchists involved in the Haymarket Riot, an 1886 labor protest for the eight-hour day. The protest escalated into a violent confrontation in which seven policemen were killed. Altgeld, petitioned by Clarence Darrow, labor leaders, and others, argued that the trial had been unfair because the judge was prejudiced and the jury stacked.
John Peter Altgeld (December 30, 1847 - March 12, 1902) was the governor of the U.S. state of Illinois from 1893 until 1897. He was the first Democratic governor of that state since the 1850s. A leading figure of the Progressive Era movement, Altgeld improved workplace safety and child labor laws, pardoned three of the men convicted of the Haymarket Affair, and, for a time, resisted calls to break up the Pullman strike with force.
Altgeld was born in the town of Selters in the German Westerwald, the son of John P. and Mary Altgeld. He came to America early in life with his father's family, who settled on a farm near Mansfield, Ohio.
He left home at age 16 to join the Union Army (lying about his age), where he fought in Virginia with an ill-fated regiment and nearly died of fever. He then worked on his father's farm, studied in the library of a neighbor and at a private school in Lexington, Ohio, and for two years taught school.

List of tables and figures
1. What is common property?
2. Open access theory
3. Common property
4. The Swiss grazing commons
5. Comparisons with the English open field system
6. An econometric comparison of commons and private grazing
7. The structure and performance of common property: conclusions
Common property economics defines and clarifies the theoretical distinction between open access and common property and empirically tests the adequacy of resource allocation under common property and empirically tests the property in comparison with private property. Group use of natural resources has often received the blame for overexploitation and mismanagement, whether of fisheries, grazing land, oil and gas pools, groundwater, or wildlife. In this book two types of group use are identified: open access and utilization without any controls on extraction rates, a situation in which resource overexploitation often occurs. In contrast, common proterty refers to the situation where the group controls the access to and extraction rates of the resource. The common property solutions differ from those associated with open access. The nonoptimality of open access is demonstrated with graphic, game theoretic, and mathematical models. The necessary and sufficient conditions for common property to overcome the difficulties of open access are examined. Stevenson discusses historical examples, the basis in legal concepts, the contrast with public goods, the formation, and the stability of common property. In a detailed, empirical study of alpine grazing in Switzerland, the author compares the performance of common property with that of private property. He also notes the similarity in structure between the Swiss grazing commons and the English open field system.

Already! 🙂 They were ALL NORMAL!! Liver function, good cholesterol, bad cholesterol, kidney function, blood count, thyroid, everything else in the universe, all normal.
So we're doing a happy dance and I don't have to go back until July. I called the office and asked if there's any further testing for this so-called "heart condition" and was told just to keep on keeping up with my health journal and if I have anything scary happen chest-pain-wise to seek the nearest emergency room.
All that worry for nothing. I'm terrifically relieved. And now back to trying to fit exercise into the busy schedule. 🙂

Analogue video: A video signal that is captured transmitted and stored as a continuously varying voltage, rather than as a stream of bits as in digital video. Up until the advent of digital TV in the late 1990S, television worked by transmitted analogue video signals, and older video tape recorders such as VHS, PAL, Betamax and Umatic all store analogue signals.
The disadvantage of analogue video is that it is prone to noise interference, while its advantage is its great density: a domestic 3- hour VHS cassette holds the equivalent of 16 gigabytes of digital data.

Three months! Also read as a million years and enough time for people to stop paying attention. I recently made a vow to myself to start devoting more time to the things I love; one of which is writing and I'm starting right now with this long overdue post.
I could offer you a basket full of excuses as to why I've been away so long but there really is no excuse for neglecting the art of writing. I will be straight with you though, the last couple of months have been difficult/stressful and I'm just now feeling like I'm coming out of my psychological funk. I was feeling very frustrated with most aspects of my life, work/career, living situation, relationships and no matter how hard I tried to change my life there just didn't seem to be a solution. Job opportunities were dangled in front of me, teasing me with their promises of financial freedom, and although I put my all into the interviews there were never any call backs.
Oh, the despair!
I'm convinced now that the timing wasn't right, I wasn't meant to move onto another job until the right one came along and it did. I'm working for a wonderful company with a team of fabulous ladies and I love going to and being at work. I have a hard time leaving sometimes! From the get-go, the owner gave us (the six ladies she hired) ownership of the store. She trusted us to sell the products, promote the brand and manage the store without her supervision. It's been a very long time since I have had any sort of creative control in a job and it feels great. When given the opportunity to express myself and when I don't feel confined to corporate rules my best ideas and qualities come out. I had a customer ask me today if I was the owner of the store because I talked so passionately about our products. I've worked a lot of retail jobs in my life but the difference between this job and the retail environments I'm used to working in is that I believe in the products and my selling points are not forced. It feels really good to sell quality product to people.
Check us out! We have a store in downtown Halifax at the Historic Properties, in downtown Truro and an online shop!
Now, that I've shamelessly promoted my workplace through my blog, I'll tell you what else has been going on. Remember how I said that the last three months consisted of the job search from hell? Well, at the same time that I was looking for work, I was also looking for a new apartment. Apartment hunting in Halifax is equally as (if not more) frustrating then job hunting. The problem with the apartment hunt was that I was looking for a place to satisfy not only my own but the preferences of two other people. We needed reasonable rent as well as parking, we needed lots of light and lots of space, two bedrooms that was also in a convenience part of town. Phew! Lots of places looked promising in their ads but fell short once I stepped inside. I am happy to say that after viewing a lot of places and being constantly disappointed we finally found one. We found our Buckingham Palace! The security deposit has been paid and the lease was signed today. The best part about finally having a place to move into come September is not the end of the apartment search stress or that I have my free time back, it's that I can finally put an end to the long-distance part of my relationship. It's not over yet, we still have a few months to go but with that end in sight it feels like a huge weight has been lifted. Having a long-distance relationship has been incredibly difficult and difficult in ways that I hadn't imagined, but I'll save my long-distance relationship advice for another post.
It's time for me to go to bed. Goodnight, friends!

We help Rugby League Legend tackle his greatest challenge yet!
We help Rugby League Legend tackle his greatest challenge yet!
ProSport Physiotherapy help Rugby League Legend tackle his greatest challenge yet!
We are pleased to announce that we will be sponsoring rugby league legend Keith Senior as he takes on a massive challenge for Huddersfield based charity, the Laura Crane Trust, for which he is an ambassador.
The former Leeds Rhino and Great Britain international will run 4 marathons in 4 weeks in April. His challenge starts with Manchester on the 6th, continuing onto the London Marathon on the 14th along with the alot of our ProSport Physiotherapy patients, Northampton on the 20th finishing up with the Huddersfield marathon on the 27th.
This latest endeavor, however will provide a new challenge for Keith, and will come with additional stresses to the human body. As such, at ProSport Physiotherapy we will be providing Ketih with regular physiotherapy and sports massage sessions to help him stay injury free during his training and throughout the 105 mile challenge. Keith has already made use of our new clinic in the new £22m sports centre at the University of Huddersfield for assessment and treatment and will continue to do so as needed to stay in top shape.
The inner core
Keith became an ambassador for the Laura Crane Trust in 2010. The charity is the only one in the UK that funds medical research specifically into cancer affecting teenagers and young adults. It also funds measures to improve the quality of life for young cancer patients, both during and in the aftermath of their illnesses, and provides support to all of the hospitals throughout the UK which treat teenage cancer (currently just 29).
Keith has set himself a massive target of raising £4,000 for the trust. If you would like to support Keith as he takes on this daunting task for a great cause or find out more about the Laura Crane Trust you can do so online at: www.virginmoneygiving.com/KeithSenior

On the Friday night, Standard & Poor's, one of the top global credit rating companies, issued a press release stating the downgrade of long term US credit rating to AA+ from most coveted 'AAA' rating.
The bickering between Democrats and Republicans over raising the debt limit in the past few days was one of the prime reasons behind it. If political and economic condition does not improve in USA, further downgrades are not ruled out.
It is interesting to know that other rating agencies like Fitch and Moody's shall continue with their old credit rating of 'AAA'.
USA had been enjoying this lucrative credit rating since the year 1941. 'AAA' rating had given US treasury products a status of 'world's safest instrument' and helped the nation to borrow at cheapest possible rate to finance social security, war expenses and other government expenditures.
Impacts of US Credit Rating Downgrade
· Downgrade shall result in waning interest of global investors in US treasury products due to this Borrowing cost of US govt. shall raise.Investment in gold shall be boosted.
· Consumer interest rates on loans like mortgage loans and business loans too shall hike, as these are loosely interlinked with the govt.'s borrowing rates.
· Businesses in USA shall require more money for the expansion
· Downgrading shall worsen the already perturbed European debt crisis.
· It is estimated that this downgrade could result in the erosion of US GDP by 1%.
Interest rate hike by 50 basis points could cause .6 million people to lose their jobs.
Slowdown in economy could result in higher unemployment

I'm not really sure why you're not listening to your customers, but this app is horrible. Have to install Ping, then KIT (which is awful, I don't need updates every day, all day), I don't always get notifications that a customer sent a message. When I do check the app and have a message, I have no idea who the customer is. Can't respond on desktop. Very annoyed. Will be looking elsewhere for something better.

Scotland's new Sheriff Appeal Court will now hear civil appeals from sheriff courts, after its jurisdiction in civil cases came into effect this week.
The new court, which is presided over by Appeal Sheriffs, will improve efficiency by removing this business from the Court of Session, by ensuring cases are dealt with at the appropriate level and by preventing unmeritorious claims from reaching the higher courts.
The new civil appellate structure brings to an end the appeal from a Sheriff at first instance to a Sheriff Principal and the virtually unrestricted right of appeal to the Inner House of the Court of Session.
From now on civil appeals will be heard by a bench of three Appeal Sheriffs sitting in Edinburgh, although procedural business, routine appeals and appeals from small claims and summary causes may be dealt with by a single Appeal Sheriff in the local sheriffdom.
Importantly, judgments of the Sheriff Appeal Court will be binding throughout Scotland, creating a consistent and coherent body of case law.
Under the new structure, it is now necessary for a party to have the permission of either the Sheriff Appeal Court or the Inner House of the Court of Session before there can be any further appeal, bringing a degree of finality to the appellate system.
Sheriff Principal Craig Scott QC, Vice President of the Sheriff Appeal Court, said: "The introduction of the Sheriff Appeal Court's civil jurisdiction is to be welcomed. We aim to manage and determine those civil appeals coming before the court in a manner commensurate with the issues under consideration. Efficiency and consistency of approach will be high on the agenda."
The establishment of the Sheriff Appeal Court is part of a raft of changes to the Scottish justice system introduced by the Courts Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, which implemented the recommendations of the Scottish Civil Courts Review led by Lord Gill.
The court was launched at the beginning of the legal year on 22 September 2015 with jurisdiction in criminal cases. The court acquired its jurisdiction and competence in civil cases on 1 January 2016.
Under the new structure, the Sheriff Appeal Court can remit an appeal from the Sheriff to be considered by the Inner House of the Court of Session, but only if the Sheriff Appeal Court considers that the appeal raises a complex or novel point of law.
Where an existing enactment provides for a statutory appeal from the Sheriff direct to the Inner House, that appeal is unaffected by the creation of the Sheriff Appeal Court.
Permission to appeal from a decision of the Sheriff Appeal Court to the Inner House of the Court of Session may be granted only if the appeal would raise an important point of principle or practice or if there is some other compelling reason.

Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige talks "Captain America 2" and the Skrulls in "The Avengers"
Posted by Terri Schwartz on
It's official: "The Avengers" was a huge success. But after Marvel finally brought their various superhero properties into one epic ensemble blockbuster, it's time to send them their own separate ways again.
In an interview with CHUD, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said that the next few standalone movies will have the Avengers standing very much on their own.
"If we do an 'Avengers 2' it will be after ['Iron Man 3,' 'Thor 2,' 'Captain America 2']. They have to grow, they have to change," he said. "What they've gone through in this movie will impact their state of mind and where they stand in their next movies. Then whatever they go through in those movies is going to affect where we meet them in the next Avengers film. But I think people will be surprised to see, as we go forward – particularly in 'Iron Man 3' – the notion of how singular the stories can become. 'Iron Man 3' is a very singular Tony Stark story. As is 'Thor 2.'"
The only upcoming movie to really diverge from this will be "Captain America 2," Feige explained. "Cap, who is stuck in the modern day with no friends or family, there will be some revelations of who is still alive from his days in WWII, but S.H.I.E.L.D. and Nick Fury are kind of his confidants right now," he said. "So of all these movies, 'Captain America 2' will be most closely associated with 'Avengers.'"
Speaking of S.H.I.E.L.D., it turns out that they almost didn't appear in the movie — until Feige realized Marvel had the rights to the property.
By now we've already heard the story of how Marvel opted to introduce S.H.I.E.L.D. to their movie franchise, but Feige said that he almost knocked the idea down before it was brought to fruition.
"Some of the writers asked, 'Hey we want to have an agent who is sort of trailing Tony Stark, and is asking questions to add an air of mystery and global consequence to what he's doing. Can we use S.H.I.E.L.D.?' And I said, no no, you can't do that," Feige said. "I said that as a knee-jerk reaction because that is what I would always say when people writing 'Fantastic Four' or 'X-Men' or 'Spider-Man' or whatever — I'm not saying they all asked for S.H.I.E.L.D., but many of them would ask for something that wasn't in their contract. So my knee-jerk was no no. But then I thought, oh wait, you can! Of course you can! It's ours! We have it!"
Something they don't have, though, is the complete rights to the Skrulls. That's one of the main reasons the alien race didn't appear in "The Avengers," apparently.
"Skrulls have a big connection to 'Fantastic Four.' So there are some contractual limitations about who can do what when it comes to Skrulls," Feige said. "Though that is not why we didn't do Skrulls. There is already enough going on in this movie."
Are you glad the next Marvel movies will be more standalone? Are you disappointed the Skrulls didn't appear? Tell us in the comments section below or on Facebook and Twitter.

16 Jan Five Tips for Eating More Sustainably
Choosing to eat sustainably may seem like a daunting task at first, but it's important to remember that even the smallest changes can make a difference. Don't miss these five easy-to-follow tips for making your diet a little more sustainable.
Fill Half Your Plate with Plants
The grains used to feed livestock require a great deal of fertilizer, fuel, water, and pesticides to produce and ship to farms. In fact, according to the American Journal of Good Nutrition, producing a single calorie of animal protein requires ten times more fossil fuel use than a calorie of plant protein. Loading up on your veggies and reducing your meat intake can help both the environment and encourage your diet be more balanced and nutrient-rich.
Buy Locally
Support local farmers by shopping at your neighborhood farmer's market. This saves on the fuel used for shipping food to grocery stores across the country. Also, the meat and dairy products from local farms is more likely to be grass-fed, fee-range, and hormone-free. These are all wins for sustainability. For a list of the Best Farmers Markets in American, click here.
Grow a Garden
Growing your own produce is a great step toward eating more sustainably. If you're lacking the space or time to grow a full-blown garden, you can still dabble with your green thumb by growing an herb or two on your windowsill. Every little bit helps.

Opt for Certified Sustainable Seafood
Choosing seafood labeled certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship council is the only way to verify that the seafood you're purchasing is truly sustainably sourced. It's easy, just look for the blue MSC label.
Don't Be Wasteful
This may be obvious, but it's important. Be conscious of how much food you're making and throwing away. A staggering 40% of the food produced in the United States doesn't get eaten. Also, opt for products that aren't individually wrapped to avoid wasteful packaging.
The good news is, making your diet a little more sustainable will likely result in better nutritional choices too. Paying more attention to the food that you're purchasing and consuming will likely lead to more mindful eating, which is a win for both you and the environment.

If you think legroom is not enough, then think whether "standing-room" might be for you. China's first private airline is considering selling standing-room tickets. The firm says it could submit the revolutionary idea for aviation regulator for approval within the year.
|China's Spring Airlines says it first initiated the standing
ticket concept in the beginning of this year.
China's Spring Airlines says it first initiated the standing ticket concept in the beginning of this year. The carrier only has 13 planes, which are not capable of coping with the surging passenger volume and new flight routes.
Zhang Wuan, Spring Airlines said "The process of plane making is really long. We already ordered 14 new jets. But some of them will only be delivered next year. And you have to wait for at least 5 years to lease a plane, and it is also very expensive."
The upright seating jet could accommodate 40 percent more passengers, compared with traditional plane. It could also help airlines cut 20 percent costs, while lowering airfares for consumers.
Zhang Wuan, Spring Airlines said "It's just like bar stools. The the safety belt is the the most important thing. It will still be fastened around the waist."
Airbus has been quitely pitching the standing-room-only seating option to Asian carriers for a few years. The Chinese aviation regulator requires that passengers are secured to their seats for take-off and landing.
Some industry insiders believe the standing seat configuration still needs further regulatory examination before becomes a reality.Editor: Xiong Qu | Source: CCTV.com

The New Orleans Warehouse District is where old buildings have been converted into condos. This was once a sausage factory and meat packing plant 100 years ago. They have been converted into condos. Many are becoming second homes for people staying here parts of the year. Most of the units are historic and have been updated making them very pleasant spots.

Live updates: 68 people still unaccounted for in Sonoma County wildfires
These are the developments in the North Bay fires as of 11:45 a.m. Monday. Click here to see the latest updates:
11:45 a.m. Number of open missing persons cases continue to drop in Sonoma County: The number of missing people still unaccounted for in Sonoma County has dropped to 65, according to the county Office of Emergency Services.
The majority of the reports stemmed from communication difficulties spawned by faulty cell service in the aftermath of the wildfires, and resolved themselves when evacuees reconnected with loved ones.
The nearly 5,000 firefighters in Sonoma County made headway Monday on the four fires burning in the region: the Tubbs, Pocket, Oakmont and Nuns fires.
The deadliest of the Northern California fires was the 36,432-acre Tubbs Fire, which killed at least 18 people and was 82 percent contained.
The Pocket Fire at 12,430 acres was 58 percent contained. The Sonoma County side of the Nuns Fire, which is also burning in Napa County, was at 33,369 acres and was 68 percent contained. And the 1,029-acre Oakmont Fire was 27 percent contained, according to Cal Fire estimates.
"We're making good progress. We got a lot more areas that are contained," said Dennis Rein, a fire information officer for the county. "Buttoning up the Oakmont Fire — that's the priority for today."
11:15 a.m. Boil water notices no longer in effect for Fountaingrove and White Oak in Santa Rosa: Residents in Santa Rosa's Fountaingrove and White Oak neighborhoods are no longer required to boil water used for drinking and cooking, according to city officials. Water quality testing reportedly confirmed the liquids were safe after wildfires caused the water system to lose pressure.
The notice was not lifted for evacuated areas, where no one should have access to the neighborhood, city officials said.
10:30 a.m. More than 34,000 remain evacuated in Northern California wildfires: As weather improves and firefighters gain control of deadly wildfires in the region, some evacuees have been allowed to re-enter wildfire zones, but tens of thousands remain evacuated, according to a Tuesday morning Cal Fire report.
At least 12 large wildfires are burning across the state, including one that started Monday night in the Santa Cruz Mountains near Boulder Creek and had burned 152 acres and four structures by Tuesday morning.
Some of the big wildfires that started ignited during a wind storm on Oct. 8 in the Wine Country and elsewhere in Northern California, including Mendocino and Yuba counties, have consolidated or been contained. More than 245,000 acres have burned statewide, killing 41 people and destroying more than 5,700 structures, fire officials said.
"The weather today will be warm with low humidity, which will continue to challenge firefighters, but only light winds are forecast," the Cal Fire statement read. "A chance of precipitation is expected to arrive later in the week, bringing relief from the dry conditions."
9:35 a.m. Mendocino County Fires estimated containment is Nov. 1: The Redwood Valley and Sulphur fires in Mendocino County are expected to be contained — which means they will not be able to spread farther — by Nov. 1, according to a Tuesday morning Cal Fire estimate.
Containment on the deadly 35,800-acre Redwood Valley Fire reached 60 percent Tuesday morning, a day after all mandatory evacuation orders were lifted. Residents were allowed back to the area by 2 p.m. Monday, according to Cal Fire officials.
Authorities said an evacuation warning remains in place for the Van Arsdale community North of Stroh Ranch on both sides of the Eel River, including Van Arsdale Road, Oat Gap Road, Ridgewood Road, and all feeder roads in the area.
The 2,207-acre Sulphur Fire was 92 percent contained. All eight deaths in the county stemmed from the Redwood Valley Fire. The fires destroyed 436 homes and seven commercial buildings, according to Cal Fire.
8:45 a.m. Deadliest of Northern California wildfires more than 80 percent contained: The Tubbs Fire, the wildfire that produced the highest number of fatalities with at least 18 deaths recorded, was 36,432 acres and 82 percent contained, according to a Tuesday morning Cal Fire report.
Firefighters battling four Sonoma County fires, which accounted for 22 of the 41 deaths from the Northern California disaster, made considerable progress Tuesday morning. The Pocket Fire, measuring 12,430 acres, was 58 percent contained. The Sonoma County side of the Nuns Fire, which is also burning in Napa County, was at 33,369 acres and was 68 percent contained. And the 1,029-acre Oakmont Fire was 27 percent contained, according to Cal Fire estimates.
7:45 a.m. Sonoma County hospital reopens after being closed by fires: Sutter Santa Rosa Regional Hospital reopened at 7 a.m. Tuesday after being closed for days due to deadly wildfires that swept through the region, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office.
Motorists are asked to use Mark West Springs Road off of Highway 101 to access the hospital. "We are grateful to once again be able to serve our community," the hospital announced on its website. Those in fire zones can access a list of Sutter's open and closed medical clinics online.
7:05 a.m. Nuns Fire now largest of Northern California wildfires: The 51,064-acre Atlas Fire, once the largest of the destructive wildfires burning in the Wine Country, was 77 percent contained Tuesday morning and was now second in size to the Nuns Fire straddling Sonoma and Napa counties.
The Nuns fire merged with four other fires in the past week and was at least 51,512 acres Monday night and 53 percent contained. The containment number signifies how much control line firefighters have installed along the outer edges of the wildfire to stop its spread.
6:05 a.m. Light winds, cold front on the way: Winds were calm Tuesday morning in the areas where wildfires continued to burn in the North Bay and in the Santa Cruz mountains, the site of a new blaze that started Monday night, according to the National Weather Service.
Rapid gusts that aided the spread of deadly Northern California wildfires that started on Oct. 8 and prompted several Red Flag warnings last week and over the weekend have been replaced by winds of 3 to 5 mph, said Rick Canepa, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
Winds in the North Bay are lighter and humidity was gradually increasing as low pressure moving into the area and dry warm air was moving out, Canepa said. As a cold front comes in and brings light rain Thursday, the area is transitioning from light offshore flow to light onshore flow winds.
"Variability in winds can add more questions marks as to how to tackle a fire," Canepa said. "The good news is we're not expecting a bunch of wind."
The amount of precipitation expected Thursday has dropped down to a tenth of an inch, which is still considered a notable amount of "wetting rain." Thunderstorms Monday morning brought a couple dozen lightning strikes about 200 miles southwest of the Bay Area, but none are likely to reach the region, Canepa said.
5:10 a.m. New fire breaks out in Santa Cruz Mountains, evacuations under way: A 125-acre wildfire that started off of Bear Creek Road in the Santa Cruz Mountains Tuesday morning prompted Cal Fire to issues evacuation orders.
The fire was burning southwest of San Jose and residents were being evacuated along Deer Creek Road, Rons Road, Dons Road, Lost Valley Road, Favre Ridge and Oak Ridge.
8:06 p.m. Progress made on containment: Cal Fire released new containment and acreage numbers for the fires burning in Northern California. The Tubbs fire is at 36,432 acres and 75 percent contained. The Nuns fire is 51,512 acres and 53 percent contained, while the Atlas fire is at 51,064 acres and 70 percent contained.
7:41 p.m. Suspect arrested for looting: Santa Rosa Police arrested a man suspected of looting from a closed group home in Rincon Valley in Santa Rosa on Monday.
Police say Douglas James Rosado, 49, of Santa Rosa, took appliances and televisions from a building that had been evacuated due to fires over the weekend.
Witnesses, who had been evacuated from the group home during the fires, told police that they saw a man with a pickup truck backed into the area of a building complex that housed stored items and laundry facilities when they returned on Sunday.
Police said the witnesses confronted the man, who sped off in a black pickup truck. They took a picture of truck's license plate before the man drove off, police said, and discovered that multiple washer and dryer units were moved while two flat screen televisions and a ShopVac were missing.
Police traced the truck to Rosado and conducted a probation search of his residence on Chairman Drive. The search led to the stolen items in addition to evidence that Rosado had been in possession of methamphetamine to sell, police said.
Rosado was booked into Sonoma County Jail.
6:08 p.m. More evacuations lifted in Sonoma County: Evacuation orders were lifted for Geyserville and Healdsburg, in the area of Highway 128 between River Rock Casino and Chalk Hill Road, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office. Residents can also return the East of Windsor area east of Faught Road and East Shiloh Road outside the burn area.
The sheriff's office also lifted the evacuation order for all of the city of Sonoma, as well as county areas north of East Napa Street to the burn area and west of Fourth Street East and Gehricke Road to Highway 12, including side the associated roads to the burn area.
5:32 p.m. Evacuation lifted in parts of Santa Rosa: The evacuation order for Bennett Valley and Annadel Heights was lifted at 5 p.m. Monday, Santa Rosa Police said.
4:44 p.m. Napa lifts another evacuation order: Napa County lifted the mandatory evacuation order for Circle Oaks and Wooden Valley Road. The area is accessible through Sage Canyon Road and Wooden Valley Road as it reopens. Wooden Valley is also accessible from Suisun Valley Road in Solano County.
4:21 p.m. Solano County Fairgrounds sheltering large animals: Volunteers are being sought to help care for more than 500 large animals, including horses and cows, that have been evacuated to the Solano County Fairgrounds, with more expected to arrive in coming days. The displaced animals have come from all over Sonoma, Napa and Solano counties. The Solano County Sheriff's Office put out a call for volunteers with experience handling large animals and other livestock.
"This is going to be an ongoing process," Solano County Sheriff Thomas Ferrara said. "I don't expect that operation to shut down any time soon."
Those interested in volunteering must be at least 18 years. Anyone interesting in helping can call (707) 551-2008 for more information.
3:15 p.m. Santa Rosa Memorial clinics open: Outpatient and elective surgery services have resumed at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital. The emergency room, which did not close, has been been treating about twice the normal number of patients, primarily those suffering with respiratory ailments, hospital staff said Monday.
2:45 p.m. Napa Valley College to reopen next Monday: Napa Valley College will resume classes on Monday, October 23, the college announced. Its three campus evacuation shelters will close on Tuesday. Faculty and staff will meet on campus on Thursday and Friday.
2:30 p.m. Mandatory evacuation lifted in parts of Napa County: The Napa County Sheriff's office lifted the mandatory evacuation in the Berryessa Highlands Community, along Highway 128 from Silverado Trail to the Napa County Line at the Monticello Dam. The evacuation order was lifted at 2 p.m. Monday. Residents can access the area through Sage Canyon Road or from the Winters area.
1:55 p.m. Number of missing keeps dropping in Sonoma County: The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office said that the number of people missing has dropped to 88 on Monday afternoon, down from 99 reported earlier in the day.
1:30 p.m. Advisory for Portable Generators: Returning homeowners should use portable generators to power individual appliances and pieces of equipment, but should not use them to power their entire house. Doing so creates problems for Pacific Gas and Electric crews attempting to restore power in the affected areas, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office.
1:25 p.m. Kaiser Santa Rosa partially reopens: Medical buildings 1 and 2 and the pharmacy at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center at 401 Bicentennial Way, Santa Rosa, have reopened. The hospital and emergency room remain closed.
1:10 p.m. Smoke Advisory for North Bay and East Bay: Unhealthy air quality caused by wildfire smoke means that old and young people, and those with respiratory illnesses should stay indoors or move out of some parts of the North Bay and East Bay Unhealthy air was measured in Sebastopol on Monday and unhealthy air for sensitive persons was measured in Napa, Berkeley and Oakland.
12:10 p.m. More evacuation orders lifted in Sonoma County: Residents of Bennett Valley Road, of the area east of Petaluma Hill Road, and of parts of Kenwood, of Boyes Hot Springs, Glen Ellen and parts of the city of Sonoma may return home, the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office said.
11 a.m. Last missing person found in Yuba County: Everyone who evacuated the region ahead of the deadly Cascade Fire in Yuba County has been accounted for, county officials said Monday. The last missing person was confirmed safe over the weekend, said Russ Brown, a Yuba County spokesman. There were more than a hundred welfare checks performed in the aftermath of the wildfire but only four of those calls had escalated to missing persons cases, Brown said. Of those, three of them were fatalities.
The fourth case — resolved by Saturday— was someone who went out of town and lost contact with the person who called in the report, Brown said.
A total of four people died in the nearly 10,000-acre Cascade Fire that broke out on Cascade Way and Marysville Road north of Collins Lake about 11 p.m. Sunday, according to Cal Fire. The first person who died was not reported missing but was found after their car ran off the road and crashed, trapping the driver in the wildfire zone.
All evacuation orders for Yuba County residents had been lifted by 5 p.m. Friday. The fire, which was 96 percent contained on Monday, destroyed 143 homes, Brown said.
10:10 a.m. All boil water notices lifted in city of Napa: All routine water operations have resumed in Napa, city officials announced Monday morning. Advisories asking residents to boil potentially contaminated tap water when cooking or drinking are no longer in effect. The measure was put in place because infrastructure damage during the wildfires could have possibly tainted water. Anyone who has water-related issues should call (707) 257-9521.
9:30 a.m. More Mendocino County residents return home: Some residents in Redwood Valley and Willits in Mendocino County and in the Lake Pillsbury Basin of Lake County were allowed to return to their neighborhoods Monday morning, officials said.
In Redwood Valley, where eight people were killed in wildfires, residents in all areas of the Cave Creek subdivision can re-enter the neighborhood, including those along Scenic Drive, Appaloosa Way, Cave Creek Road and feeder roads into the area. An evacuation warning remains for the area.
All other areas of Redwood Valley are no longer under evacuation warning.
All Willits residents can re-enter their neighborhoods. While an evacuation warning is still in effect for the Pine Mountain Estates in Willits, residents there are allowed to return home, according to Mendocino County Sheriff's officials.
In Lake County, all areas within the Lake Pillsbury Basin are no longer under an evacuation warning and is reopened to the public.
9 a.m. More than 40,000 remain evacuated in Northern California wildfires: As some evacuees are gradually given the green light to return home, more than 40,000 remain evacuated, according to a Monday morning Cal Fire report.
What was once more than 20 wildfires statewide have merged and consolidated to 14 large wildfires burning. Forty-one people, including a firefighter killed in a Napa County crash near the Nuns Fire Monday morning, have died in the fires.
An estimated 5,700 structures have been burned as wildfires blackened more than 200,000 acres of land.
8 a.m. Firefighter killed in tanker crash: A water tanker crashed on a winding Napa County road near where firefighters are battling the northern edge of the Nuns Fire, and the driver was killed, officials said.
The crash happened around 7 a.m. on Oakville Grade west of Highway 29 north of Yountville, California Highway Patrol officials said. The tanker was going downhill when it lost control, went down an embankment and overturned, the CHP said.
The driver was a contract firefighter, the CHP said. The firefighter's name has not been released.
7:15 a.m. Firefighters making progress: The Atlas Fire is now 68 percent contained — up from 56 percent containment on Sunday. Over the past 24 hours, it grew in size by only 7 acres, to 51,064 acres.
"Firefighters continue to strengthen perimeter control lines, provide structure defense and engage in tactical patrol," Cal Fire said in a statement. The Nuns / Adobe / Norbbom/ Pressley / Partrick Fires, at 48,627 acres, are now 50 percent contained, and the Tubbs Fire, at 36,390 acres, is 70 percent contained.
6:20 a.m. Missing persons reports down to double digits in Sonoma County: Of the nearly 2,000 missing persons reports stemming from deadly wildfires in Sonoma County, only 99 of those reports remain outstanding, officials said Monday.
The county received 1,853 missing persons reports since the fires broke out on Oct. 8, but the majority of those people have since been found safe. Many of the reports could be duplicates, in which several people call-in to report the same person missing. The bulk of the cases were resolved as cell service was restored and people reconnected with loved ones, said Deputy Brandon Jones of the county sheriff's office.
But sheriff's officials are meticulously investigating every report to ensure everyone is accounted for, he said. So far, 31 reports were sent to other jurisdictions, and 1,723 of the missing reports ended with the person being confirmed safe, Jones said.
"Some of these reports are like, 'I haven't talked to my aunt in five years and she lives in Santa Rosa,'" Jones said Monday. "Unfortunately, it's a little bit of a misleading stat. But the way we're doing it is the right way to do it."
Sonoma County was the hardest hit by Northern California wildfires, accounting for 22 fatalities — the majority of the current death toll of 40.
5:50 a.m. School closures in Napa, Sonoma counties: Napa Valley Unified School District, which encompasses all public schools in the county, plans to reopen campuses for classes on Wednesday, according to a district statement.
"This date is based on a presumption that the fire situation and air quality will continue to improve and that the school buildings and staff are ready to serve students," the statement reads. "If that is not the case, we will inform you of any changes to the plan through our established channels."
In Sonoma County, various schools plan to reopen either Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, or remain closed the whole week. A detailed list of school closures is available online.
5:30 a.m. Boil water notices still in effect for areas of Santa Rosa: Residents in parts of the Oakmont and Fountaingrove neighborhoods of Santa Rosa should continue boiling tap water before drinking or cooking, according to police.
Damaged infrastructure from deadly wildfires in the Sonoma County city possibly tainted water systems.
Fountaingrove residents who live east of Mendocino Avenue, north of Chanate Road, west of Fountaingrove Parkway, and south of Mark West Springs Road should continue the precautionary measure, authorities said.
The notice also applies to Oakmont residents who live on White Oak Drive south of Madelyne Court, including Madelyne Place, and on Oak Mesa Drive south of Starry Knoll Court, including Shooting Star Place.
5 a.m. Favorable firefighting weather, rain on the way
The winds have eased, red flag warnings have ceased and rain is on the way to regions of the North Bay devastated by deadly wildfires, according to the National Weather Service.
"The good news is winds are going to be relatively light — under 10 mph in both the valley locations and higher elevations," Charles Bell, a meteorologist with the weather service, said Monday morning of Napa and Sonoma counties.
Conditions are a far cry from the past week when there were four days of Red Flag warnings for the North Bay — alerting the community that low humidity, gusts and higher temperatures could aid rapid spread of the region's destructive fires.
Temperatures remains unfavorable, however, with the North Bay set to record highs in the mid to upper 80s, about 10 degrees higher than normal for the season, Bell said. The air remains dry, too, with humidity in the North Bay ranging from 8 to 14 percent. The driest air around, in a desert, for instance, measures 1 percent humidity.
But the rain the region has been hoping for is on the way. The first winter storm of the season is coming from the Gulf of Alaska, and should land by late Thursday and continue overnight into Friday. Humidity should rise this week ahead of the rain, forecasters said.
Meteorologists expect two tenths of an inch of rainfall in the North Bay. One tenth of an inch — known as "wetting rain" — is significant, Bell said, so double that is "certainly welcome."
"It's a notable rain that can help to really tamp down fires," Bell said. "It's a slowing mechanism."
Still, Bell said drivers, especially those commuting Thursday evening, should be cautious of slick roads that can cause spin-outs. Every year, car incidents abound when the first rain of the season hits.

"Perfectly Placed Hotel"
A very friendly hotel, well appointed. The centrally positioned pool is really good. The rooms were well sized. There was no inbuilt air conditioning but all the rooms had stand alone coolers and these worked well. I would recommend this hotel.- Neill24 -
"Great time!"
Everyone was so nice, and it provided great gathering spots for our family during a family wedding weekend. Room and pool were clean, and the kitchens were awesome! Would recommend this hotel to all of my friends!- Caitlin W -
"Wonderful Hotel!"
Only but the best; large rooms, very clean, breakfast with plenty to choose from, amazing outdoor area with a lovely garden and pool and Jacuzzi. We really had an amazing experience there. Big Thanks to the gentleman Porter who was so kind to us. Definitely will come here again.- Giovanni d -
"Luxury at a Very Reasonable Price"
The hotel was beautiful. The room was huge with a living area, eating area, and a separate bedroom. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. There was a TV in each room. They have a nice pool and breakfast was offered. We'll be back.- weyesowl -
"Friendly, professional, comfortable"
Friendly, professional, comfortable - says it all! I enjoyed the stay. I had my family of four, including two teenagers, in a suite for 4. There was ample space, good beds, lots of hot water and friendly service. The location is not intended to be scenic, but this is a very comfortable stopover.- tomcolley1962 -

We mark time, don't we? We mark it and measure it, witness and remember.
"How many sleeps, Mommy?" This from my son, when he was young- too young- to understand divisions of time smaller than a sleep. It was a time when "Five Minutes" meant "some Time not now."
When, Mommy? When?
Five minutes, baby.
It could have been five minutes, five hours, five weeks- it never mattered. It was an acknowledgement that there was a Now and a Not Now.
We still measured it, that Not Now, still marked its passage in some way. Six sleeps until we go to the zoo. Until Chanukah. Until your birthday. Until... It was time, marked and measured. And seemingly, in a moment, sleeps became days, became weeks or months. He could live in those bigger divisions, feel the passage of time differently. I miss the grand and easy sweep of time, as much as I miss counting those sleeps.
Milestones. They are the remembered days, the points that mark the linear drift of our lives, the divisions of time that don't fit inside a watch, and barely fit inside a calendar. They are witnessed and measured, because it matters- desperately matters- upon which side of those milestones we stand.
Before that marked and measured event, we are one way, we see the world this way, we are perceived that way. We act and we choose and we do in the Before, until magically, we are on the other side, privy to a whole new set of choices and expectations and commitments. There is an infinity of possibilities, a singularity of difference, until it too, this milestone, in time, gets lost and dusty and fuzzy around the edges, and we discover the next one; until it, too, gets measured and marked and remembered, until one day, we move on, we turn from remembrance to anticipation.
And so it goes. Time is marked, and measured. Events are witnessed. And we are changed by it all.
I've had my share of marking time this year. With each measure, I have been changed in some way. There have been celebrations of new beginnings and the fiftieth anniversary of my birth. There have been remembrances and mourning for things let go. Holidays have been marked. Time has passed, and we- I- have stood witness to it all, sometimes on the banks of that mighty river, passively watching it go by, sometimes right in the middle of the stream, splashing in the waters of those events, those celebrations, those milestones.
Nothing big. Nothing earth-shattering in its import. Small events, gently flowing streams of time that separate the Before from the After. But I measure their passage, and mark them. I was both witness and participant in the same breath. Here, on this side, was one world. And suddenly, the horizon tilts and there is a brand new world, a subtle shift in color and light laid out before me, waiting to be discovered and savored.
Next month it will be my turn to witness another milestone: my son will turn thirteen. Thirteen! We, both of us, will mark it and measure it and be changed by this day. He will not be a man. He will be... himself. A newer, more self-assured, more questioning, older, thoughtful, mindful, analytical, brash and playful self. Already he is leaping, with faltering grace. Already he is drinking in information and ideas and thoughts and is drawing his own borders, making his own connections. Already his logic is more sound, his conclusions more sure than what came seemingly moments before.
He stands now, poised on the edge of time, already gathering himself, already testing those waters, feeling the sharp and chill exhilaration of the new and different and exciting, tasting the sweetness of the yet-to-be. Where will he stand, on the other side of this day, that will make a difference, that will change him?
He will not be a man; not yet. He will travel many miles and pass through many years before he can claim that, before he will be shaped into a man. He will be a boy still, caught so delicately between an infinity of worlds. And yet he will be changed. He will be different. Time will have shifted, separating one moment from the next, creating an infinite vista of the possible. In an instant, on that day, he will cross the divide of time and stand on the shoulders of giants and wrap himself in a garment of light and loose thread and bind himself to his past and his future.
My son, my beloved boy, will stand with me on the Shabbat of his thirteenth birthday. I will be his witness, as he offers ancient words of blessing and praise, as he takes my Grandfather's tallit and places it gently on his broadening shoulders. He will wind the fringes around his fingers and gather the threads into a whole. His will be a new song, a new dance, a new celebration. He will be a new voice in the wilderness, and our sacred and holy community will be all the richer for it. He will begin to find his own way, journey on in solitary wonder, in companionable joy, in defiance and innocence and doubt.
We measure time, don't we? Measure it and mark it, witness and remember. Here, on the edge of his childhood, the border of a distant shore, he will remember this moment, he will mark the not-Now and measure the Yet-to-be. From this day forward, he will stand, ever and always, cloaked in light and gathering loose threads into a new whole.
My son, my beloved boy, will leap into the infinite and he will soar.
