I would have said that Fate magic is the magic of the future, because it's disciplines seem to be dominated by powers that work best when you are planning ahead. Healomancy, Dollamancy, Croakamancy are all about having units for future turns, not doing stuff immediately to the enemy. Changemancy is about equipping your troops, something one would naturally do before a battle rather than during. I'm not really satisfied with that description either, but surely that's at least some sort of clue to the true nature of Fate magic.j_scheibel wrote:Fate magic is strictly speaking magic that deals with how things "are/should be".
I don't see how it can be called the magic of randomness. Mathamancy seems to be the only Numbers discipline that touches upon randomness. I think that Numbers magic is about measurement and analysis. It's about figuring out the structure of the world precisely. Mathamancy, Dittomancy, and Foolamancy are all about creating simulations of real things. Consider how Foolamancy is described in B2T10. In order to fake a thing, Jack must know what it looks like in every detail. I'd bet that Numbers magic assigns numbers to everything as it measures and quantifies the world.j_scheibel wrote:Numbers magic is all about how things might be. think of it as a game of statistics. If a number is involved it can be manipulated. This deals in averages and randomness. things that work in a quantum physics sort of way.
Without being really sure what "erf" means, the fact that the world is called Erfworld leads me to believe that maybe Erf magic is the magic of manipulating the world and getting immediately powerful results. It is less concerned about the future than Fate magic and more concerned about getting things done now. While the Changemancer is busy making better weapons for some possible future battle, the Dirtamancer can be raising barracks so the troops will have a place to rest tonight. The Erf magician doesn't analyze, like the Luckamancer doesn't calculate odds; that's for a Mathamancer.j_scheibel wrote:Erf magic is all about the manipulation of the two. Think fractals and where you stop in zooming in.

Think there might be a few teams regretting not selecting former Wildcat DeMarcus Cousins in the first four picks of the NBA Draft?
Cousins, the fifth pick, has been superb in his two Las Vegas Summer League games with Sacremento. After going for 19 points and 12 rebounds on Tuesday night against the Lakers, Cuz has back-to-back double doubles, resulting in two Kings wins.

Most of us remember the holidays, not just because of the presents or festivities that go along with them, but because of special traditions from our childhood.
This week, we share some favorite Holiday traditions from our childhoods, and how we are making new traditions for our families now that we have children of our own.
The holidays are definitely my favorite time of year. When Halloween rolls around I become so excited for all of the upcoming events. I grew up with very traditional holiday celebrations but they were always such a highlight of every year and I want to carry some of those traditions on in my family with my children.
Every year, the day after Thanksgiving we got our Christmas tree and decorated it that night listening to Elvis, or Tony Bennett, or randomly Christmas in Hollis (nothing says Christmas like Run DMC). And as we've moved or gotten married or had children our places of celebration have changed but somehow, no matter whose house we celebrate in, the feeling is always the same. It's comforting and warm, and fills me with such joy, I want my children to have that same feeling. So this year, we got our tree the day after Thanksgiving with my parents. We decorated the tree that night, and the next morning Evie got up and saw the tree and the look in her eye said it all.
We are building memories with our children and just the thought of that fills me with the same joy. Every morning we listen to the Tony Bennett holiday station on Pandora and Evie is starting to learn Christmas carols. We're going to have our traditional breakfasts and dinners with our family. We'll all go to mass together at my niece's school, just as everyone went to Mass at my Catholic school that I attended. But, my husband and I want to add our own traditions too. Every vacation we take we buy a new ornament for our Christmas tree. On Christmas eve, we all open a new pair of pajamas. Our Elf on the Shelf, Zeke, makes his daily appearance (right now he is hanging from the blinds in the kitchen). A combination of old and new feels just right.
The next step is to get Evie to learn all the words to Christmas in Hollis. Or, maybe not.
I can't say that I love the "Holiday Season" as a whole, but I do love parts of it. I love the spirit of community and of giving that so many seem to get this time of year. I love that people feel more inclined to donate and volunteer, or to go to local festivals and events. I love that so many of us go to greater lengths the show others that we care. (I just wish it would last through the rest of the year!) I love taking some of the traditions that we grew up with and making some new ones for ourselves.
One of my favorite traditions from when I was a kid was our annual outing to go get pumpkins for Halloween. I grew up near St. Louis, MO and every year we would make the drive to take a ferry across the river into Illinois. We would go to a small pumpkin patch and the rule was you could pick out which ever one you wanted, but you had to be able to carry it. What a great idea! (Yeah, I admit it. My parents had a few.) It stopped us from getting some crazy huge and expensive pumpkin or whining about the fact that our parents had to say "no." Afterwards we would go to a park and where we had a picnic and played the rest of the day. So fun! I have some great memories of this.
I want to make memories like this for my kids too. So, one of our traditions is "Christmas Tree Day". The morning after Thanksgiving we go to Black Road Tree Farm (in the mountains near Los Gatos). We bring our dog and the kids and walk around to find our perfect tree. After it's been cut and my husband hauls it back up to return the saw, we have the staff take our picture with our new tree. We then go home to put up the tree and the rest of the decorations, and hang the lights on the house.
I think it is also important to teach our kids the importance of community and giving. We don't have much ourselves these days, but we donate what and when we can. We give not only items, but our time as well. Though my kids are still young, they learn by example and I hope to set a good one for them.
Traditions are an important part of celebrating holidays, especially for children. It can be fun to share some of the traditions you grew up with while creating some new ones. Let the kids help with this, too. You will be creating their lasting memories, and maybe even some traditions that they will share with their families some day.
You can also check out the Campbell Patch Mom Squad on Facebook! We share our articles, community events, thoughts on parenting, parent related current events, and more. We also welcome your comments, suggestions, and questions anytime!

Bethesda Green will hold its third annual Bethesda Green Gala to honor the city's top eco-friendly community members Thursday evening. The nonprofit paired up with Bethesda Magazine to recognize seven Green Award Winners for their adoption of environmentally-friendly practices and eco-friendly way of business.
"We want to lift up and spotlight these individuals, organizations and community groups that are doing the kinds of things that are really helping the environment," said Dave Heffernan, Director of Communications for Bethesda Green. "We want to publicize what they're doing and hope that they will inspire others in the community to do some of the same sorts of things."
An independent panel of judges selected the winners out of 85 nominations, Heffernan said. The seven winners will be featured in Bethesda Magazine to show off their stride to preserve the environment. Each winner will also receive a plaque honoring their achievements.
The event will have a "The Sky Is The Limit" theme, complete with music, food, local beer and wine, and a silent auction. Some of the items up for a silent auction bid include an autographed jersey from Washington Wizards basketball star John Wall, a reclaimed wood coffee table by Alan Black Woodworking and a DoubleTree by Hilton Bethesda weekend stay—among dozens of other items.
Appropriately enough, the venue of the event is a "green" building. "The venue is an office building that was the region's first LEED Platinum certified building, which symbolizes green practices in building construction," Heffernan says. "It's really exciting for us to be going to this venue to spotlight these companies and the whole sustainability effort."

What: Bethesda Green Gala
When: Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012, 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

Perhaps they'll call it the Snooki Seawall.
Seaside Heights is moving forward with its plan to construct a seawall the entire length of its boardwalk and is hoping to fund the entire project with money raised by MTV's Restore the Shore telethon, according to borough Mayor Bill Akers.
Though a bid has not yet been awarded for construction - Akers said the borough would like to award a bid as soon as its next council meeting - it's estimated the seawall would cost about $1 million, the same amount promised to the Hurricane Sandy-battered borough by MTV.
The money was raised during a November telethon featuring the "stars" of several MTV reality shows, most notably the crew from "Jersey Shore."
Beloved by orange-toned grenades and gorillas alike, but criticized as an unfair representation of New Jersey and its residents, the show was filmed in Seaside Heights and made household names of people like Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.
And now it's helping rebuild the resort town.
Reconstruction of Seaside's boardwalk recently began following a $3.6 million bid award to Millstone-based Sidd and Associates in January. Crews are currently installing more than 1,500 25-foot long wooden pilings into the beach, which will be used as support for the new boardwalk. Rebuilding the boardwalk area is a two-phase project consisting of boardwalk reconstruction, as well as building repairs and infrastructure improvement, like the construction of a seawall.
In all, the restoration project is expected to cost about $8 million.
The concrete seawall would be installed along the beach and would rise to the level of the boardwalk, Akers said. Visitors walking along the boards would be unable to see it, though it would be visible to beach goers.
Though Gov. Chris Christie initially demanded that shore communities construct dunes to protect themselves from future storms like Sandy, Akers said in recent conversations he's softened a bit on his stance, allowing for alternative protective measures, like seawalls, where appropriate.
"He realizes every community is going to be different," Akers said. "The main thing he wants is protection. In some communities he thinks it makes a great deal of sense (to install dunes), in others he understands it might not.
"We have to protect what we're rebuilding while also preserving a resort feel. That's what we are; that's how we pay the bills."
Specifics about the type of seawall Seaside will look to construct are not currently known pending further engineering review. The borough still needs to determine how deep into the beach the seawall should be placed and what design and building material is appropriate to mitigate potential beach erosion that could occur during ocean surges.
Building sand dunes and potentially obstructing views of the ocean just wasn't a possibility for a town that relies heavily on tourism for its economic survival.
Akers is hopeful that the complete boardwalk reconstruction, including building of the seawall, will be completed by May 10. That's the plan now, he said, and the borough is progressing accordingly.
There's also a potential added benefit to having a seawall instead of dunes, according to Akers. Though those walking on the boardwalk won't be able to see the wall, the thousands of tourists who flock to Seaside's beaches during the summer will have a great view.
Why not fill it with ads, Akers asked.

Erik Kain, Contributor
I write about video games: the industry and the culture.
Rich Stanton has a great interview with Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki in which at least one long-kept secret about the game is revealed: the pendant, that curious starting gift with no apparent power, actually does not in fact have any special power.
The source of much speculation and wonder across the Dark Souls community, Stanton brings up an interesting parallel to the DLC final boss, Manus the Father of the Abyss:
After Artorias the DLC's final stretch goes to the bottom of the Abyss, where its father Manus dwells. This boss isn't just one of the best fights in the entire Souls series, but carries many answers about the nature of the Dark Soul itself – as well as being, at bottom, a human who goes crazy over a pendant. Sound familiar?
When Dark Souls first came out, an answer Miyazaki gave in a Famitsu interview said he'd choose either nothing or a pendant for his starting gift in Dark Souls. The pendant, which has no in-game function, became a focal point for the wilder elements of the community, and the centre of every conspiracy theory going.
I ask Miyazaki whether Manus is a little dig at the series' more obsessive players. "That is a very interesting consideration," says the devilish fox. "But I suppose I did not include the meaning." And as for the original pendant speculation, brace yourselves Dark Soulers for Miyazaki's final word: "When it comes to the pendant, I actually had a little bit of an intention to play a prank."
A prank is not all that surprising actually.
Dark Souls is full of strange riddles and missing pieces and loose ends that never quite tie up. Therein lies its charm.
Of course, in the Artorias expansion you encounter a second pendant – this time a silver one, and it does have a very important power, should you have the wherewithal, and the light, to find it.
Read the rest of the interview with the inscrutable Miyazaki here. It's a fascinating read for any Souls fan/acolyte/addict.
You can also read my review of the Artorias DLC here.
(P.S. Stanton's brief bio at the bottom of the article notes that he spends most of his free time in Lordran. I know exactly how that feels.)
Follow me on Twitter or Facebook. Read my Forbes blog here.
"I am curious what your reason for thinking this is. Is it just because you are limited to the number of healing items? "
It is because that number is pulled right off someone's butt. And the game offers no explanation was to why or how you could or not change it. It is just something that is, because "
God" (the game designer) said so. A simulation, be it in games or any other medium, must be PLAUSIBLE in order to be good. Even in fantasy or sci-fi, the rules must be laid out that will guide such things. Like I said, a weight limit would make much more sense. Because then I would be able to choose if I want 99 this or 99 that.
I am having a rough time reading your comments as they just show lack on knowledge of the game.
"The magician in Dark Souls is useless, that class above all others is highly dependent on magic because they are so physically weak. If you have no magic and most enemies wear armor, how are you supposed to advance? This is just poor game design."
Having played through the game with 3 characters now (2 of them on ng++), I would say that sorcery needs a little nerf. I did half of smough's health in one spell. I would try using a weapon for the weaker enemies and saving your spells for the stronger ones.
By your logic it makes no sense that you can only carry 99. Why only 99? this makes no sense therefore demon souls is just bad. I should be able to carry my weight limit in grass, this is just terrible game design… according to your logic anyway.
10 is the number the flask can hold until you make it higher. It is a property of the item. The Flask can only hold 10 charges. This number doesn't do anything for or against immersion. It is a number that they decided provided the best challenge for ever area without being unfair or too easy. It is just how they decided to balance the game.
I don't understand how this ruins the game for you.
The replenishing resources bonfire system has a number of advantages over the way that Demon's Souls did things. It encourages the player to use all of their magic arsenal instead of just the spells with the greatest return-on-MP investment. It prevents the player from stockpiling huge quantities of health and MP items, thus rendering the resource system largely irrelevant. And it removes the need to grind out money and item drops when you're low on potions. Through the bonfire system, the player is encouraged to use all of the resources at their disposal, since they know they'll recover them next time they rest rather than having to worry about hording resources.
The weight a person can carry and her strentgh are closely related. The stronger the character, the more weight it should be able to carry. This is perfectly logical. Besides weight, they could limit by size, and so on. You are just making excuses for a game that makes no sense. Immersion is what separates good games from bad ones.
Erik is saying that carrying magical grass or a magical flask has no difference. Neither are plausible or logical.
I am afraid if you are unable to be convinced by Erik's comments, whose argument is much more constructive, then you are not going to change your mind. But the reason you are not enjoying dark souls is not poor game design or lack of immersion, it is stubbornness and poor understanding.
"The magician in Dark Souls is useless, that class above all others is highly dependent on magic because they are so physically weak."
Having started as a Sorcerer in my original first playthrough of Dark Souls, (And having finished it with that same character, btw) I don't get this statement.
Going back and trying the game with other classes actually made the game HARDER for me. Because The Sorcerer gets to start out with probably the BEST starting spell in the game, "Soul Arrow" with 30 uses, and with an INT starting at 15, I'm blowing through most of the fodder enemies even when they are blocking with shields.
Regardless of the ease of use of the Spell I started with, I also picked up a melee weapon, the tried and true, veteran of a thousand battlefields Longsword, and his buddy, the venerated Shield. A little bit of practice (and, I'll admit, more than a few deaths later…) I had figured out the art of the parry, and was saving my spells by meleeing through those same fodder enemies.
The beauty of this game in my opinion, (and I'm sure it was a strong selling point of Demon's Souls as well, even though I've only played maybe an hour of Demon's Souls) is that the Starting Classes are just that. What you START as. You are allowed to spend your souls to raise whichever base stats you want. Thus, that Sorcerer that started out kinda weak in melee? Very quickly got up to speed and to the point of doing respectable damage in melee, once I dropped a few points into Strength and Dex. Cost me maybe 2-3 trips around my current bonfire gathering the souls to level up.
Once I got the hang of the weapon upgrade system and learned how to change my weapon into one that did damage based on my spellcasting stat, I basically had no problems in melee as far as damage was concerned.
Lol. It's not fun because you suck at this game without a shitload of healing items. In other words, you get hit a lot and compensate for it with items rather than just skill.
I'll bet you stopped playing pokemon when you found out you couldn't dupe items by fighting Missingno anymore. Haha.
The thing about Dark Souls is that you get to make up your own story. And it requires a lot more strategy than farming for items. Take Sen's Fortress, for example. Only one bonfire, and that is right before the boss. You have to make it through swinging axes, lizardmen, and arrowtraps WITHOUT dying. To go with that, there are OHKO boulders up until you get to the roof, where you get pelted by giant firebombs. You have 10 estus and some healing magic along the way, but there is hardly any room to breath. Now wouldn't that be easier with 99 of every healing material? It would be too easy. I think that that is what Localsingle is trying to say.

By CHRIS MORRIS
New Albany Police Department detectives are investigating a burglary that occurred just after midnight Dec. 3 at Dairy Queen, 2116 E. Spring St.
A witness told police he saw what he believed to be a male running out of Dairy Queen carrying a large item, according to the police report. The witness said the subject jumped into a vehicle that resembled a Ford Tempo, either silver or brown in color.
Officers noticed a broken window on the west side of the business. About $2,300 was stolen from one of the safes. No arrests have been made in the incident, but according to the report, an employee was questioned about the burglary.
"We are still investigating, trying to put things together," said NAPD Capt. Ken Fudge.
On Nov. 28, police were called to the BP Station, 2212 E. Spring St., after a 56-year-old woman reported she was attacked and robbed. However, despite the proximity between the two businesses, Fudge does not believe they were committed by the same individual or that there is a crime spree in the area.
"They were both crimes of opportunity," he said.

Orange County native and Minnesota Vikings kicker Chris Kluwe is proving his words are as powerful as his leg.
The former Los Alamitos Griffin is making headlines this week for a sharply-worded letter sent to a Maryland delegate in defense of gay marriage and free speech.
Kluwe stepped into the furor created last week when Maryland state delegate Emmett C. Burns Jr. sent a letter to the owner of the Baltimore Ravens, urging the team to "inhibit" the expressions of Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo who publicly favors gay marriage, according to the website Deadspin.com
In response, Kluwe wrote a scathing letter to the delegate.
While much of the letter contains colorful language, Kluwe sums up his position in the first paragraph quoted by Deadspin:
Dear Emmett C. Burns Jr.,
I find it inconceivable that you are an elected official of Maryland's state government. Your vitriolic hatred and bigotry make me ashamed and disgusted to think that you are in any way responsible for shaping policy at any level. The views you espouse neglect to consider several fundamental key points, which I will outline in great detail (you may want to hire an intern to help you with the longer words):
Kluwe goes on to chastise Burns regarding the first Amendment:
"As I suspect you have not read the Constitution, I would like to remind you that the very first, the VERY FIRST Amendment in this founding document deals with the freedom of speech, particularly the abridgment of said freedom. By using your position as an elected official (when referring to your constituents so as to implicitly threaten the Ravens organization) to state that the Ravens should 'inhibit such expressions from your employees,' more specifically Brendon Ayanbadejo, not only are you clearly violating the First Amendment, you also come across as a narcissistic…stain."
Kluwe closes with:
P.S. I've also been vocal as hell about the issue of gay marriage so you can take your "I know of no other NFL player who has done what Mr. Ayanbadejo is doing" and shove it in your close-minded, totally lacking in empathy piehole and choke on it.
Click here to read Deadspin's story containing the full text of the letter.
Kluwe's letter is earning him cheers on a facebook page for his alma mater, Los Alamitos High School. What do you think of his letter?

This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel and the desk staff seemed a little less friendly/helpful than last visit. We were waiting by the pool for our room to be ready (they had our phone number to call) and I had to go to the front desk to find out that it was in fact ready and the staff member said 'sorry we've been busy'. The restaurant food and service were excellent - best of both in Poipu. The valets are awesome - always extremely polite and friendly. Overall a beautiful, peaceful place to stay.

Top of the line for Kauai. Beautiful grounds, pool, view and nice restaurants.
You get what you pay for. Not a place to stay if on a budget. Beach there was not for average swimmers (too treacherous).First class all the way. Staff was nice and helpful. We liked eating at the Sea View Terrace at night or for an early morning coffee and Danish. Tide pools was probably our best dinner of hors d'oeuvres and salads. Spa and work out facilities top notch.

It is right on the coast and convenient for walking around and exploring Kapa'a The staff, especially George, was very friendly and helpful and made a number of good suggestions for local restaurants and places to visit.
The 'wiki' breakfast really wasn't much at all, especially if you got there after 8 a.m., despite being available from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. We learned to eat breakfast across the street at the Hemingway Café.This was a charming small hotel with a great location and a very local feel. If you're looking for a posh resort, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a small, personal experience that is quiet, convenient and very much in keeping with the bohemian atmosphere of Kapa'a, then this is very much the place for you. We would most definitely stay here again and would recommend it to friends looking for a more laid-back, personal experience.

We booked Aston at Poipu Kai based on photos on the web and brochures ... what we got was a place from the 70's or earlier ... mold, old, musty, miles from the beach, no view, nothing. After complaining to the 'person' on duty SEVERAL times, the manager who lives in Florida was called and we were given a 'villa' ... ha ha ha ... villa indeed ... more mold, no air conditioning, miles from the beach ... STILL NO ASTON AT POIPU KAI like in the brochures and web site. This was shameful. They kept saying they gave us such an upgrade with the 'villa' ... pleazzzzzzzzzze. This is a total misrepresentation and should be against the law. People pay good money to come to Hawaii based on the advertisement in the brochures and web only to find a total mess which is fixed by another mess ... and ... I am going to write this review on every site I can find so other people don't make the same mistake. May even let the HI Tourist Board know how misleading the Aston website is ... shameful.

This was our 2nd yr to stay at Poipu Kai. We were so happy that they fulfilled our request for ground floor and near the pool I have a knee problem and stairs are very painful for me. Everyone at the office is great and they work very hard to make your stay a great one. It has a huge pool which is hard to find in Hawaii. The grounds are immaculate, the rooms are clean and all the housekeeping and grounds maintenance folks are great and make sure you have what you need. When we return to Kauai next year we will be staying again with Poipu Kai. We took time to look at other properties in Kauai and none even came close to price or amenities. It was quiet and very comfortable, just a wonderful away from home experience. After the reservation is made and they get confirmation you can call the front desk to check on it and confirm yourself any needs, they were great.

President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney have been trading attacks over the issue of American jobs being moved overseas.
The president has pounded Romney for the investments made by his former firm Bain Capital in the 1990s. Not to be outdone, the Romney campaign has suggested most of the money from the president's stimulus program went to create jobs overseas.

This week, NPR News released the results of its first poll for the 2012 general election season. The survey, by a bipartisan polling team, yielded several interesting results, including that the Affordable Care Act is still stirring deep political division weeks after the Supreme Court upheld the law's constitutionality and that President Obama and Mitt Romney are in a statistical tie in 12 key battleground states.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Miguel Delgado and his staff. The skin on my stomach had severe stretch marks, very loose, and there was excess skin around my entire waist – basically I had a "muffin topper" that no amount of exercise would get rid of.

I'd lost a lot of weight, and had enough loose skin to throw me off balance. When I moved fast and stopped, it kept going. I could hoola hoop inside my own skin.

The Haverhill Gazette
---- — They deserve it.
The many men and women who toiled in Haverhill's downtown factories for generations, making the city an international shoe-making giant, should have their efforts remembered.
They were the driving force behind the community's economic lifeblood that made it possible for families to support themselves, to know jobs were there for father and mother and even the kids when they grew up.
A sense of community pride went with coming from the Queen Slipper City — Haverhill's nickname because of its focus on making women's shoes.
But by the late 1960s, the industry died out in the city, leaving the shoe shops empty and falling into disrepair.
The change also left Haverhill and its people looking for a new identity. The city has made its way to become a new Haverhill, working in new directions, luring in a variety of businesses and developers who converted the empty downtown factories into apartments, condos, restaurants and shops.
But someone is looking to hold onto that old identity, even restore it in some fashion — and that is a good thing.
Last spring, the city's Historical Commission embarked on a project to honor the shoe workers who kept the factories and the city's economy strong for those generations. Commission members said much is known about the general history of that period, but many photos of unidentified people working in shoe shops exist and deserve attention.
Commission members wanted to tell those workers' stories. They asked the Gazette to help. The newspaper ran a front-page story introducing the project to the public and asking that anyone recognizing people in old shoe factory photos contact the commission.
For the last 10 months, each edition of the Gazette has displayed one of the photos provided by the commission. It worked. Several readers have contacted the commission to identify workers and tell their stories. (See story, Page 1.)
The commission plans to honor the workers by creating a downtown memorial to them in the shadows of the buildings where they toiled. There are also plans to display some of the old photos, along with the stories of those pictured, in locations downtown.
It's a great plan, and the Gazette is proud to support it.
Hopefully, it brings honor to the people whose sweat helped make Haverhill what it is today.

Police search home of California tribal leader held in slayings of 4 people at meeting
This Thursday, Feb. 20, 2014 photo released by Alturas Police Department shows Cherie Lash Rhoades. Rhoades, suspected of killing four people at the headquarters of an Indian tribe that was evicting her and her son from its land, had been under federal investigation over at least $50,000 in missing funds, a person familiar with the tribe's situation told The Associated Press on Friday. (AP Photo/Alturas Police Department)
By JEFF BARNARD and JUSTIN PRITCHARD, Associated Press
ALTURAS, Calif. (AP) — Police armed with rifles and pistols have searched the home of the former Cedarville Rancheria tribal leader held on suspicion of killing four people and wounding two others at a tribal meeting in northeastern California.
Officers from Alturas Police, California Highway Patrol and the Modoc County Sheriff's Office went to the house of Cherie Lash Rhoades in Cedarville late Friday afternoon.
One Alturas police officer who would not give his name acknowledged that they were serving a search warrant, but would not say what they seized.
Rhoades has been held since Thursday afternoon on suspicion that she opened fire on a tribal meeting in Alturas that was called to consider her eviction from the rancheria.

While the final figures haven't been determined to know whether the decision to move the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame induction concert outside Muskogee was a financial success, it appears to have been a success in all other aspects.
Ideally, the concert is held in Muskogee every year.
But it has been proven year after year that a majority of the Muskogee residents are unwilling to support it.
OMHOF officials got a lot more bang for their buck by partnering with the Mabee Center in Tulsa for the concert held earlier this month. OMHOF Executive Director Jim Blair said OMHOF saved an immediate $18,000 by not having to rent sound and lighting systems, which the Mabee Center already has in place. And being listed among the Mabee Center's upcoming events on its website garnered about 20 million impressions for the concert, Blair said.
Extra exposure might be the biggest benefit of all. There are a lot of people in the state who are unaware Oklahoma has a music hall of fame.
We liked the split of induction ceremony held here and concert held in Tulsa.
Our selfish view would be to keep both in Muskogee.
But that's not realistic, nor is it conducive to success.
If a future concert is held in the Oklahoma City area, that might be a far enough distance to hold the induction ceremony there as well.
By having the concert in different parts of the state every year, the museum stands to benefit from the exposure. And as more and more people are inducted, there are more reasons to visit the museum — and Muskogee — in the process.
And if that leads to a more successful Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame, that also leads to more tourism dollars being spent in Muskogee and a potential win-win situation.
