Documents outline links between Kansas drug ring and Mendocino Coast

A Fort Bragg resident allegedly played a key role in supplying marijuana to a Kansas drug ring, according to court documents that detail the trail of evidence assembled during a four-year investigation.
But investigators have shed little light on the role played by six other longtime Mendocino Coast residents accused of conspiring to sell marijuana to a drug ring in the heartland of America more than 1,500 miles away.
The defendants are familiar names on the North Coast, with ties to logging, construction and the tiny volunteer fire department in the coastal hamlet of Mendocino.
"It is a very confusing thing. These are associates, friends," Mendocino Fire Chief Ed O'Brien said. "It's very difficult to watch them get tangled up in something."
A federal official declined to describe the suspected involvement of the seven North Coast residents, who are named with 36 other people in a 103-count indictment outlining a scheme that allegedly raked in nearly $17 million in illegal proceeds.
A trove of documents filed in federal courts offer glimpses at the investigation, which has unleashed an outpouring of support from the Mendocino Coast suspects' families, their friends and colleagues in letters asking a judge to release them.
"What I think you have here is a large-scale conspiracy to sell cocaine and pot in Kansas that peripherally involved people in California who allegedly helped this guy get some marijuana," said Stewart Hanlon, a San Francisco attorney representing Mendocino contractor Jeff Wall.
Wall and fellow Mendocino residents John Paul McMillan, McMillan's wife Erin M. Keller, Henry McCusker and Richard W. Smith Jr. all are accused of one count of conspiring to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute drugs, including marijuana and cocaine, court files show.
McMillan faces two additional charges of possessing marijuana with intent to sell in Kansas.
Fort Bragg resident James Soderling and his wife, Sarah, face the most serious charges among the seven North Coast residents ensnared in the case.
James Soderling is "a known high grade marijuana distributor and a high grade marijuana broker," according to court documents. He is accused of delivering marijuana in a wooden crate to Hayward, where the drugs were shipped to Kansas.
Prosecutors said Sarah Soderling was "intimately and jointly involved" in the shipment of large quantities of marijuana, according to a judge's ruling that released the couple from custody but required them to live apart and not discuss the case.
"When her husband was initially taken into custody, Ms. Soderling remotely erased the contents of his cellphone in an apparent effort to destroy evidence of the crimes," the judge said.
All seven Mendocino County residents have pleaded not guilty before federal judges in San Francisco and Kansas.
Kansas investigators stumbled across the drug ring in 2008, when a man arrested during a domestic violence call offered information on local drug sales. Federal agents joined the investigation into marijuana, methamphetamine and cocaine sales in 2011, said Jim Cross, spokesman for U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom.
Investigators traced the marijuana shipments to Hayward by listening to telephone calls made by the Kansas suspects, according to court documents. James Soderling allegedly transported the marijuana to Hayward, according to court documents.
McMillan's lawyer, notable marijuana criminal defense attorney William Panzer, described the investigation as a "giant conspiracy."
Hanlon and Panzer said the allegations against their clients are vague.
"It appears there is some guy in Kansas who likes to deal drugs. They busted him," Panzer said. "Now anybody that anybody said might have sold drugs to him is now accused of being involved. That's what it appears to be, but that's not how the law works."
San Francisco civil rights attorney J. Tony Serra is representing McCusker, an accomplished amateur golfer who is the only Mendocino resident to remain in custody. Serra could not immediately be reached for comment.
McCusker, who goes by Hank, co-owns two vacation rental properties on the coast. Family and friends wrote impassioned letters of support on his behalf asking a judge to grant his release, including his business partner for 20 years, John Fliessbach.
"Hank is just really one of those special people. He is a genuine and caring person," Fliessbach said.
He declined to comment on the allegations against his partner.
The other Mendocino residents, including parents of young children, are at home with their families.
Two of the defendants, McMillan and Keller, have returned to duty at the volunteer fire department in Mendocino. After they were released from custody, the two longtime volunteer firefighters asked O'Brien if they could respond to emergency calls.
"I basically welcomed them back with a big hug, said I'm glad to have them back, hope their kids are OK, Keep your chin up," O'Brien said.
Keller has been an emergency medical technician for about 10 years and McMillan an EMT for 11 years, the chief said.
"John Paul has jumped on a jet ski, gone out and pulled people out of the water," he said. "He's one of my guys. If he shows up, I know that part of that job will get done."
Two of the other suspects also have links to the town's volunteer fire department. McCusker briefly joined the department and Wall was a dependable volunteer until he resigned after moving just outside the fire district.
The case is the talk of the town.
"There's a lot of talk, there's a lot of rumor," said O'Brien, who also runs a leather goods shop in town.
"Everybody's buzzing," he said. "I've been told things that were not true, and I've passed on things that aren't true and I hate that. There are not definitive facts yet in the case."
Soderling is the only Mendocino Coast resident with clear ties to Kansas. He lived in Lawrence, Kansas, for at least 20 years and has family in the area, court files show.
He pleaded not guilty in Kansas to seven counts of possession with intent to distribute marijuana, one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, one count of using a phone to facilitate a drug transaction as well as conspiracy to possess and distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine and 1,000 kilograms or more of marijuana.
When the first federal complaint was filed in June, Soderling and his wife were on the road in Utah. He surrendered to Lawrence police, court documents show.
The Soderlings are listed as defendants on a document seeking asset forfeiture from drug sales that states agents seized $84,700 in cash from a FedEx package en route from a Kansas motorsports company to a business called California Connections in Hayward.
Soderling's attorney, Christopher J. Angles of Kansas City, Mo., said his client was released on bail. A judge ordered him to remain in Kansas.
His wife, Sarah Soderling, is to remain in Fort Bragg with her parents and the couple's infant.
Angles said the case is still in its preliminary stages and he couldn't yet comment on the allegations.
"This case has international reach, defendants from Mexico and defendants from Canada," Angles said. "I would consider this a vast-ranging alleged conspiracy."
A tentative trial date is set for June 2013.
Wall, reached at home, said he did not know Soderling.
Other defendants didn't respond to phone calls or messages seeking comment.
"I don't think any of the people charged in this case would say it's OK to ship drugs to another state," said Hanlon, representing Wall. "Jeff (Wall) has pled not guilty and I have not seen evidence that he was involved."

New way to control your TV
You've never seen a TV quite like this one. While the Samsung UN60ES7500 60" 1080p LED flat screen TV may have the slim panel look and impressive screen quality you've come to expect from Samsung, Samsung's Smart Interaction will change how you control your flat screen TV. A built-in camera and microphone put control literally in the palm of your hand. Navigate apps, choose your favorite content, and control the flow with intuitive gesture based control. With voice control, just speak and the ES7500 listens, giving you a completely hands-free control experience. You can even use your face to set up menus and app selections, making sure that every member of the family can have their own unique experience when they sit down in front of the TV.
Apps and connectivity
Remember the old days when your TV was for catching up on three channels? With built-in Wi-Fi on Samsung's Smart TV, those days are long gone. Smart Hub software and technology gives you access to not only your favorite streaming services like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Pandora, and more with apps built especially for your TV, but also access to Samsung's Signature Services that turn your TV from the center of your entertainment system to your media hub. Family Story helps you connect with images, chat rooms, and more for your family and friends, while programs like Kids Story, which helps you organize child-friendly entertainment and activity apps, and Fitness, featuring programs to help meet your health goals, make your flat screen TV personal. A simple to use interface, including a web browser built specifically for your TV, helps keep all your content organized, and a search all function makes finding what you want to watch easy. Plus, the more you use your Smart TV, the better it gets to know you, and Smart Content capabilities mean it can even make suggestions of shows, apps, and other fun services you may enjoy.
Picture this
Of course, when it comes right down to it, you're looking for picture quality. Samsung doesn't disappoint. Their Micro Dimming Pro LED panel makes sure that contrast and color for all your favorite HD movies, games, television shows, and apps is stunningly clear. Detail, even during fast-paced action, is preserved thanks to Samsung's Clear Motion Rate 840 technology. Their Wide Color Enhancer Plus ensures natural looking images, just the way your content was meant to be seen. You can even look forward to enjoying the best 3D entertainment around right out of the box, with four pairs of included 3D glasses. Plus, it's all run by a dual core processor — no wonder you're getting a screen that looks (and acts) so smart.
In the box
Included with your purchase are: ES7500 LED flat screen TV, 4 pairs of 3D active glasses, remote control, Samsung Smart Touch remote, IR blaster, user guide

Just had the new set a week, but it came out of the box and was up on the wall within an hour. So far the the machine build quality and picture are outstanding. Se up was pretty easy, although I did have my moments with the WiFi and IR blaster connectivity. Feedback from the system was that these were not functioning correctly when if fact they were!! Internet features are good although not as fast as on your regular PC. This is still a TV after all although Samsung seems to be blurring the lines between TVs and computers. I didn't buy this set for the internet connectivity or Smart features. They are interesting although maybe still a little on t he gimmicky side and not quite ready for prime time. I have spent little time so far on the voice command or waving at the TV features. From what I see they work, but why bother? The remote interface works more efficiently in my book. One very positive internet feature in downloading the Skype app. Skyping on a 60 screen is something to behold. All in all I am very happy with my new purchase. The picture is stellar, but if you want this for a rewarding internet experience. Better to stick with your PC.

Last June, I had a feeling of missing something in my life and I realized what it was. For most of the previous summers, I had spent time at a BBYO summer program at B'nai B'rith Perlman Camp.
Violence and uncertainty surrounding the conflict in Gaza and the potential for danger have led many program directors to struggle with whether or not to cancel their trips to Israel.
Travel restrictions imposed by the FAA on U.S. airlines servicing Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport are now in their second day with no indication when they will be lifted. Of course, that is causing all kinds of trouble for people trying to get to Israel or fly back home.
From June 23 to July 2, approximately 80 teens had the unique opportunity of visiting the country of Bulgaria with BBYO's Ambassadors to Bulgaria summer experience.
During their high school years, most teenagers wrestle with what seems like endless questions, and very few answers. Questions that, as I now look back, allowed me to explore and connect with my heritage and culture, and to develop my Jewish identity.

Baby Animals: Baby Panda
It's a boy. This baby panda was born at the San Diego Zoo on Aug. 5, 2009, and the zoo staff, anxious to leave the newborn alone with its mother, a Chinese-born panda named Bai Yun, did not get to examine the little guy for a month. A baby panda's sex is not obvious when you can only see it from a distance. Following Chinese tradition, the baby will not get a name until he is 100 days old.

Geoff Pye, senior veterinarian at the San Diego Zoo, gives the new baby panda a checkup. The 2.8-pound cub is a boy, but the zoo staff couldn't tell until the baby had spent a month bonding with his mother, Bai Yun, and could be safely examined. A baby panda's sex is hard to determine from a distance.

Can you make out the newborn Chinese panda in this webcam picture from the San Diego Zoo? It's the four legged blob just above its mother, Bai Yun, and this image was recorded just after it was born in the early hours of Aug. 5, 2009. The zoo says it is best to leave the hairless, pink newborn alone to bond with its mother, so its sex cannot be known for some time. A newborn panda is about the size of a stick of butter.

ecoDa (The European Confederation of Directors' Associations), EuropeanIssuers and ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), believe the proposed measures entail interesting elements that should pave the way towards a modern, more user-friendly and efficient regulatory framework on company law and corporate governance. We share the view that emphasis should be on simplification, shareholders' identification and their effective engagement, as well as on transparency, but we need to make sure that the foreseen measures will deliver real benefits to companies, shareholders and investors.
John Davies, head of technical at ACCA, says: 'ACCA is very supportive of initiatives aimed at increasing transparency, such as strengthening disclosure on board policies on diversity and risk management, on the quality of explanations for non-compliance in corporate governance reports and regarding shareholders' engagement via the modification of the Shareholder Rights Directive.
'On the company law components of the Action Plan, we are pleased to see that the Commission is proposing to merge and genuinely codify the provisions of various company law directives to make a more coherent and consistent set of rules. As a global body, ACCA is also very interested in the commitment to further explore the feasibility of the cross-border transfer of the registered office – which is a long running problem area- and the concept of 'group interest'. It will be difficult to resolve them but, in theory, both offer opportunities for benefits to be achieved. We also urge EU decision makers to ensure a proper follow-up of the European Private Company - the so-called SPE - proposal, in order to encourage and facilitate cross border operation by SMEs.'
Lutgart Van den Berghe, Chair of ecoDa Policy Committee, expressed that: 'ecoDa is convinced that only an improvement of the quality of explanations can safeguard the flexibility offered today by the European governance approach. Flexibility was seen as the condition to guarantee that companies have their governance tailored to their specific needs. Notwithstanding that there is some evidence that the quality of explanations and the quantity of the supervision are improving, it is obvious that more should be done to increase the effectiveness of the governance codes and to foster a better dialogue between companies and their shareholders. Therefore, ecoDa welcomes European initiatives to enhance the quality of explanations. More widely, ecoDa claims for proportionate and tailored governance measures, and encourages the European Commission to see governance as a means to an end, not an end in itself.'
Susannah Haan, Secretary General of EuropeanIssuers, said that: 'We are pleased to see the Commission has listened to companies' concerns regarding the need for more effective shareholder identification and for better disclosure from shareholders regarding their voting policies and use of proxy advisers. It is essential to promote better understanding between companies and shareholders in Europe, given all the regulatory changes which mean that many companies will be obliged in the future to move from bank funding to market finance.'
The challenges will lie in the concrete design and implementation of the proposed actions, which will require on the one hand a balanced and integrated approach from policymakers, and on the other, engagement with stakeholders to ensure that the proposals are perceived to assist improved company performance and integrated shareholder engagement, rather than merely as creating new burdens.
ecoDa, EuropeanIssuers and ACCA look forward to actively contributing the debate. In this spirit, the three bodies are organising a conference on the 4 February 2013 in Brussels called The Action Plan on Corporate Governance and Company Law: What's in it and why? to present and raise awareness on the new Action Plan, as well as discuss the potential impact of its various proposals and the way forward.

Stomach bloating and weight gainFor discussing the functions of different structures of all organisms.
Moderator: BioTeam
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
I am nearly 18 years old, and a relatively short and small built person weighing only 48-49kg. To me being a healthy thin weight was something that is important to me because it makes me feel good about myself after spending my entire childhood being bullied about my weight.
I have been diagnose with Fructose & Lactose intolerance, Egg Allergy & Coeliac's Disease. Therefore my bloating cannot be a reaction due to sugar intake or for that matter wheat intake. I am constinatly on laxatives, as without them I would become severly constipated (this is due to my intolerances and allergies)
In 2010 I lost 23 kg (when I reached 48kg) & I felt absolutely fantastic - I was eating right and doing exercise every day.
About 8 months after losing all my weight I started putting on weight again to become 56kg. I can no longer fit into any of my clothes, and I feel so self concious. I hadn't changed anything in regards to my diet or exercise. I was burning more calories than what I was taking in.
I went to the doctors & I was told that I have less than a 1kg of fat on my stomach, so I was left feeling confused about why my stomach was the size of a basketball. I was told that it was due to abdominal gas and that was it. My test results came back that everything was normal. No problems with my thyroid.
Every time I eat or drink anything, no matter how small it is, I feel like I have eaten a basket ball. It is very saddening. I get no support from my parents about it either because they jsut don't seem to get it. It has pushed me to the point where I would rather be Anorexic that the weight I am. And I know the severe effects Anorexia can bring & I know how bad it is and how selfish it is for me to say something like that, but it's getting to the point where I just don't care about the side effect.
I have tried everything to get rid of my stomach - stomach toning exercises, no carbohydrates, everything. But nothing is working and it's really taking a toll on my mental health.
I just want it to go away.
Hay read a book called 'Wheat Belly' by William Davis.
If you eat too much "good" diet you can also gain weight, pigs eats vegetables and they are so fat. I don't think excessives exercise will help you. If you are not some kind of alien you will loose weight when you will start to eat less for 2-3 months.
Cushing Syndrom could be a problem, secondary or primary.
OMG, I have been hunting and hunting for others that are experiencing the same symptoms I have been going through.
Brief Story
This past summer of 2012 I started getting the "Blown Up" stomach after I ate. I was getting frustrated with it because I am only 5 1 1/2 and have never weighted over 100 lbs. Well I started gaining weight and I had to buy larger pants etc. I went to my GP doctor and he said if you think I am going to say anything about your weight your crazy you need to gain weight and left it at that. Ive had my appendix out, I have no gallbladder (out two years ago) and have had a complete Hysterectomy since I was 28, now 48. I had my gallbladder removed a couple of year ago because it was only working 15%.
The weekend before Thanksgiving I was experiencing not only the "blown up" stomach but massive pain. I laid in bed for 2 days. My husband insisted that he take me to the emergency room and they did a CT scan and told me that the bottom of my stomach was closing and they admitted me into the hospital. They gave me pain meds and nausea meds, that was on a Sat evening. On Monday they did an Upper GI on me and said they did not find anything but a hernia so they kept me in the hospital because I was unable to eat without getting severely nauseated and in pain, I begged them to just send me home. I went home and the pain has only gotten worse along with the swollen stomach and nausea. At first the pain started in the lower right side of my stomach. Now the pain starts just under my right rib cage then radiates down in a backwards "C" then back to the same spot that always causes the most pain. I've had every test done that they could think and still cannot figure out what is wrong. Ive been back in the hospital due to the massive pain and nausea. They said I have Celiac Disease, so I have been on a gluten free diet for almost two weeks and I have not noticed any change. I have been off work since before Thanksgiving. The pain gets worse when I eat and start moving about. If I don't eat and don't move about and don't drink anything it doesn't get to bad. I've tried to drink Boost drinks to keep my energy somewhat up but it makes me swell and get in pain so I am at a loss.
I am now being referred to Duke University to a specialist, I hope that they get it scheduled really soon because I cannot take this anymore. I've gained 15 lbs in 3 months.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I need answers and don't know what else to do. I have read a lot of the posts and I don't want to wait for years for some doctor to practice medicine on me, I want someone that knows what they are dealing with and can give me definite answers. I do a lot of research and have found a few things but nothing exactly to what is going on.
Desperately in need of HELP!
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
This might be helpful. It's an article I wrote about the connection between chewing (or rather the lack of it) and stomach bloating.

I've read most of the comments and finally feel relieved it's not just me! I am 17 years old and this has been bothering me since last year. Since the summer I have put 1 stone on. I know we've had Christmas and I've had a holiday slipped in there too but I just don't understand. I bloat after anything I eat/drink and no one seems to understand. I do exercise 5-6 times a week and try to have the healthiest diet possible but sort of relax at weekends! I eat wheat and gluten free foods but still experiencing an extremely uncomfortable amount of bloating and the pain isn't getting any better. I have an appointment with my local gp next week. I just wanted to know if any of you could shine some light to what it may be! Just want to be able to eat normally along with being healthy and bloat free!!!!
