Viacheslav Kravtsov is a phenomenal shot blocker who likes nothing more than contesting absolutely anything on its way up and he could be an important defensive presence inside for Ukraine. He played last summer during the Qualifying Round and showed he can also do a great job on the glass while last season his confidence was further boosted after being named an All Star. Kravtsov is athletic, strong and can explode in and around the hoop on offence although he is still trying to find consistency with anything from range. He is a good finisher because of his size on the block and within a couple of metres. He is also a competent defender in the paint and his defensive attributes will be important. He has put up great numbers not only in club basketball at home but also in EuroChallenge and at the World University Games in Belgrade a couple of years ago.

Making smarter electronics
Updated: January 18, 2013
They got $30 million to start this new project. The University of Illinois was picked to lead a team of seven other universities in this research. Their focus is on enhancing the way circuits process information and how much they can store. As cell phones and other technological devices get smaller, they need smaller systems to keep them running. Student and faculty researchers will find ways to make sure these devices can still do the job. Part of that includes making devices that can think for themselves.
"That's what we are interested in," said Naresh Shanbhag, who is an electrical and computer engineering professor. "We want to make sense of the world around us. We like to have our computers help us do that. So that the goal of the center."
This will help create the next generation of computing devices. Researchers said the new devices will be high performance, more energy efficient and cost less. The battery life would be better as well. The research involves computing on nanoscale fabrics. Those small things could make a big impact on a lot of electronics we use.

SHERMAN, Ill. (BP) -- Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich of Illinois was a defendant in a high-profile legal case where, once again, a politician was convicted on criminal charges. What really sealed the governor's conviction: Blagojevich's own words allegedly attempting to sell an appointment to the U.S. Senate.
Blagojevich had no idea that his telephone conversations were being recorded. What the governor thought he was saying in private was eventually presented to a jury in a public trial.
Historically, criminal trials were not always public. The founding fathers of our country, however, were keenly aware of the abuses associated with secret trials, including the English Star Chamber and the Spanish Inquisitions. Thus, under the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution you have a right to a public trial.
The U.S. criminal justice system has flaws, but it strives to give an accused, not a perfect trial, but a fair trial. Having trials open to the public furthers this goal.
One day each person will stand trial in God's courtroom. Some will be surprised that these trials also will be public.
God wants to establish to all of humanity that He is righteous and fair, and His judgments are perfect and flawless. Thus, God is likely to accomplish these goals if the trials are public.
The most detailed descriptions of the trials that will take place in God's courtroom are set forth in Daniel 7:9-11 and Revelation 20:11-12.
The prophet Daniel, for instance, stated that "myriads upon myriads" were standing before God at the Great White Throne Judgment (Daniel 7:10). In Daniel's day, if a person wanted to describe a vast number of people, millions or billions, the phrase "myriads upon myriads" would be used. It is the type of phrase to describe the sands on a seashore. Attending these public trials will be the largest gathering of people ever assembled in human history.
Many may also be surprised to learn that God has been recording their entire lives, not just a few telephone conversations like Governor Blagojevich experienced. It is as if God has a special videotape that records not only actions but also words, thoughts and attitudes. As the Bible states, "And I say to you, that every careless word that men shall speak, they shall render account for it in the day of judgment" (Matthew 12:36).
Your secret thoughts, including those violent, greedy or immoral thoughts will be put into evidence. As the Bible states, "God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus" (Romans 2:16). These thoughts and other actions are most likely contained in the "books." Again, as the Bible states, "The dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds" (Revelation 20:12).
There is a strong possibility that at your trial the entire tape is going to be replayed in its entirety for every minute of your life. You are not going to be able to hide anything. There is a definite possibility that your spouse, children, co-workers and friends will hear all of the evidence that is presented.
Fortunately, for those who accept God's offer of a pardon though Jesus Christ, all of their sins will have been erased and God will drop His hammer and declare, "Not Guilty!"
Bruce Kugler, on the Web at www.godscourtroom.org, is an attorney in Sherman, Ill., who has written and produced an evangelistic film, "God's Courtroom," which will be aired at 9 p.m. June 25 on the NRB TV Network, carried on DirecTV channel 378 and Sky Angel channel 126.

I have been on the hunt for a netbook or ultrabook for the last few weeks that would allow me to get out of the house and work on a project that mainly requires a lot of writing and not much else.
This morning I ran across someone selling this little 12 inch Thinkpad X60. A little google-fu had me convinced that Linux support was good enough, so I tossed Ubuntu 12.04 Beta on a USB stick w/ Unetbootin (this little guy has no optical drive) and asked the seller to meet me at Starbucks.
That was an hour ago. I am now sitting here running Update Manager after a full install w/o leaving the Starbucks table. Everything seemingly works right off the bat aside from the fingerprint reader. What a long way we've come. This would have been way more difficult in the not so distant past.
Current Linux Setup
Thinkpad X60
4gb RAM
Debian Squeeze
Sweet! BTW, there are a few packages in the repos that might bring your fingerprint reader to life. Unfortunately the one in my new laptop is not supported. But, I hear good things about linux support and Thinkpads.
I love the ThinkPad X series. I've used a X200 and X220 at work, both great machines. Good Linux support, although I never got the fingerprint reader to work. I've read that it's easier to get working on older models like the X60. I think ThinkPad's history of good Linux support was due to the fact that they use to sell machines that ran SUSE. I'm not sure that's still that case since Lenovo bought the IBM desktop/laptop business . . . but Linux support is great on pretty much anything these days anyway, so it doesn't matter as much as it used to.
Distro: Crunchbang on laptops, Arch on the desktop, Debian on servers
DE/WM: awesome & openbox
Editor: vim
I've got a thinkpad x1 with fedora the finger print reader works out of the box. I'm on arch right now and I haven't bothered to install the fingerprint reader - but I know there are drivers and software in aur that works.
This makes me want to try to get the finger print reader on my Elitebook (HP) up and running in Fedora. I will report my findings...
You can't take the Sky from me
I just got fingerprinted a few months ago. Had to renew my hazardous material endorsement on my Commercial drivers license and the place was using a computer fingerprinting program. I should have asked what operating system it was running on.
It didn't look like Fedora, nor Ubuntu.
Last time I got fingerprinted the old fashioned way was a long time ago, and it had nothing to do with a drivers license or a handgun permit.
Sixthwheel wasn't always the squeecky clean young man that you see here in these forums.
Sixthwheel's album of the week.
Heh! Mugshot or it didn't happen.
As I tend to do w/ these things, I have been obsessing over getting this 6 yr. old laptop to a level where it can hang with the big dogs. Packages arrived at my doorstep (I keep selling off old hardware to finance this little adventure)…. 4GB RAM, 120GB SSD, dock/port replicator have arrived, and a better battery on the way. All this because the form factor is just perfect. Keyboard is 97% size. 12.1 inch 4:3 screen. 3 pounds…
Went to a very small footprint Debian Squeeze install and it flies so far. Probably stick w/ Gnome 2 (just the core) for now and sometimes drop into an Openbox Session for kicks.

Past 2012 Fall Fishing Reports
Miss one of North Carolina's 2012 Fall Fishing Reports? No problem! You can find all of the past reports here.
November 28th Weekly Report
The holiday weekend was marked by windy, cool weather here at the coast. That, however, did not deter inshore anglers from getting to the water.
Spotted seatrout were again the big story up and down the coast. Beach anglers from Kitty Hawk to Wrightsville were able to find days that were pleasant enough to catch some beautiful fish. Estuary anglers did very well catching plenty of nice specks in all our coastal rivers. Red drum, flounder and striped bass were also in the mix in many of those areas.
Ben Barwick, 6, caught this red drum all on his own during a fishing that he, his dad and grandfather enjoyed out of Oriental with Capt. Gary Dubiel.
Many anglers associate striped bass fishing with the migratory fish that come to North Carolina each winter from as far away as Maine. In fact, each of our large coastal rivers and sound systems has its own population of striped bass, often referred to as estuarine fish. The Roanoke River / Albemarle Sound, Tar-Pamlico River, Neuse River and Cape Fear River all have their own distinct population of stripers. This gives North Carolina anglers opportunities to tangle with some great game fish all year round, but it is in the late fall and winter that large schools of aggressive striped bass can complete a great day of fishing for those willing to wet a line in places like New Bern, Washington and Plymouth. This past week those anglers did very well, not only on stripers but seatrout and red drum as well.
This weekend's forecast is looking better, so no excuses: Head to the coast for some fine fishing.
November 21st Weekly Report
"What do you call the day before the wind blows?" I was asked by a famous fisherman one day. "Friday," he said.
Well that has seemed to be true the last several weekends as another Nor'easter pushed off our coast. Anglers should not be discouraged, however. The inshore and backwaters have produced some of the finest fall fishing you'll find anywhere, wind or no wind.
Our coastal rivers and sounds offer anglers protection against the wind, and in some instances hard offshore breezes may even make things a little better. Much of the western Pamlico Sound and its two major river systems have no lunar rise and fall in tide, and hard offshore winds elevate water levels, pushing bait and predatory fish to the banks – perfect for those of us willing to brave a little weather.
Commander Stan Napierkowski, United States Navy (Retired), enjoyed his Veterans Day catching false albacore while fishing with Capt. Gary near Morehead City. Stan and his wife moved to Morehead City after his retirement.
Although fishing near the beaches will slow with the weather, this weekend anglers in Nags Head, Morehead City, Swansboro and Wilmington can find plenty of great inshore fishing in the sounds. The speck bite has been red hot in all these coastal areas.
Early last week weather conditions were perfect, and plenty of great fishing was had off the piers and beaches along the length of the state. Specks dominated the reports, but red drum, bluefish, flounder, black drum and a variety of other bottom fishes were also caught. Fly and light tackle anglers leaving from Morehead City, Beaufort and Harkers Island had outstanding catches of false albacore in the near shore waters as well, and there were good reports of a hot fall tuna bite from the Gulf Stream charters.
Don't let the weather stop you from a coastal angling adventure this holiday weekend. Our inshore fishing is as good as you'll find anywhere right now, so join us for some spectacular late fall fishing.
November 14th Weekly Report
Finally after Hurricane Sandy and a Nor'easter, the weather at the coast has been outstanding. Anglers have enjoyed picture-perfect fishing conditions with plenty of sun and very little breeze.
Perhaps some of the biggest angling news was the continuing epic fall fishing for spotted seatrout. One of the most popular game fish in the Southeast, this fall favorite has made its best showing on our coast in a number of years. Beach areas from Kitty Hawk and Nags Head right through to Emerald Isle have all enjoyed a banner fall of "speck" fishing. Likewise, interior coastal communities have also cashed in on great seatrout fishing. Engelhard, Belhaven, Bayboro, Oriental, Havelock, Aurora and other hamlets have all seen plenty of anglers and plenty of fish.
A fish by many names, spotted seatrout, trout, seatrout or specks may not be the biggest or hardest fighting fish, but for the joy of fishing there may be no finer fish. It is also a great fish for eating and is prized by those who enjoy a fresh seafood dinner. From families to seasoned anglers, getting into a great fall run of trout can be a memory that lasts a lifetime.
In addition to specks, anglers will also catch red drum, flounder and striped bass in many of those same areas and on the same lures, baits or flies. It's even possible to land all four species, as anglers on one of my recent trips did.
Not to be left out, there are reports of a mighty fine mixed bag, including speck fishing coming out of Swansboro and Wilmington.
Near shore anglers have had good false albacore fishing as well as bluefish over the past couple of days, while great sea conditions have seen the offshore fleets from all out ports return to the Gulf Stream waters to find tuna and Wahoo.
There's little left of fall and fall color, so head to the coast for blue, green, red or silver in the shape of one of our great fall fish.
November 7th Weekly Report
Fall fishing returned to the coast following Hurricane Sandy, although reports were a little sketchy coming from all areas of the coast and much of the offshore fleet remained in port.
Speckled seatrout and red drum fishing has been dynamite. The beaches and inlets from Kitty Hawk to Morehead City have reported excellent fishing. Most of the coastal rivers also produced with anglers on the Neuse, Bay and Pamlico Rivers catching many fish each day. Stripers and flounder have been taken with specks and reds on the Neuse River. Many anglers here have caught three or four species on an outing.
Ray Dubiel of Carnegie, Pa., caught this nice redfish and many more reds and specks on the fly rod near Oriental Nov. 5, 2012.
Closer to Wilmington, anglers are also finding good numbers of specks and reds in the marshes and creeks.
Bluefish remain plentiful at or near the beaches from Morehead City south, and with improving conditions for false albacore, near shore anglers have also been doing well.
There's no reason not to come and enjoy great fall fishing here in North Carolina. We hope to see you all soon!
November 2nd update from the Outer Banks
The fishing has been bountiful for anglers on the Outer Banks heading into this weekend, with reports of both keeper and release-size puppy drum from Kill Devil Hills to Hatteras, and speckled trout north of Oregon Inlet. Take part in the puppy drum blitz by heading to the OBX.
Roads are clear and open from Duck to Nags Head and Manteo, and ferries are taking visitors from Ocracoke to Hatteras Village. There is a new ferry route from Stumpy Point on the mainland to Rodanthe on Hatteras Island, with NC 12 open between the villages.
Enjoying the day at Jennette's Pier in Nags Head Thursday, Nov. 1, 2012, where fishing has been favorable all week following Sandy.
The Cape Hatteras Angler's Club Tournament will be held as scheduled November 7-10. If you have a taste for striped bass, the 15th Annual Rockfish Rodeo hosted by the Manteo Rotary Club will be held November 17, and Jennette's Pier in Nags Head will host the Second Annual Redfish Saturday Tournament November 24.
See you there for a colorful fall experience on the water.
October 31st Weekly Report
Hurricane Sandy was the big story at the coast this past weekend. We're hoping everyone and their property and all our coastal businesses come through the storm just fine.
This photo of the fall-favorite spotted seatrout, caught with a top water lure, was taken near New Bern Friday, Oct. 26, 2012.
We had good fishing coming into the storm, and when the winds subside mid-week, we'll be right back on the water from the beaches, piers, rivers, sounds and the ocean enjoying some fine fall angling.
Until then, we wish we were fishing!
October 24th Weekly Report
Mother Nature smiled on the coast again this past week, as the weather and the fishing remain terrific. The sounds, surf and coastal waters all had plenty to offer.
Western Pamlico Sound anglers had some of the finest spotted seatrout angling in years, and the coastal rivers, creeks and marsh were on fire. The Neuse, Bay and Pamlico rivers all produce both quantity and quality of specks for anglers departing from Oriental, Bayboro and Swan Quarter. Red drum, flounder and striped bass were also in the mix.
Jack Painter of Avon with one of many spotted seatrout he caught on the Neuse River near Oriental this past week.
Swansboro is another outstanding spot location, and bottom anglers are gathering there to cash in on the fall run.
The Outer Banks has seen a terrific fall of fishing as well. Spotted seatrout fishing has been good along the beaches and in the sounds. Word has it that big schools of specks are headed south out of Virginia, and North Carolina anglers will soon have their shot at them along the beaches from Kitty Hawk to Hatteras. Spots, bluefish and red drum have been landed as well.
The Wilmington area continues to have excellent redfishing in the marshes, and the many light wind days are excellent for site casting to these powerful fish. Specks, flounder, bluefish, Spanish and king mackerel and a variety of bottom fish make a few days of fishing here a must.
Offshore boats have had great Wahoo and tuna fishing all along the coast and can expect to run into a few billfish and dolphin.
More great weather and fishing is in the forecast. Come join us!
October 17th Weekly Report
For much of the week the weather was beautiful at the coast and the fishing could not have been better.
Anglers along the western Pamlico Sound and its tributaries are always able to get out of the wind. So brisk northern breezes during part of the week didn't slow down anglers from getting on the water every day.
Doug Champion of Beaufort caught this spotted (speckled) seatrout on the Neuse River near Oriental while fishing with Capt. Gary Dubiel the weekend of Oct. 13-14, 2012.
Speckles seatrout and red drum are also being taken in the marshes and behind the barrier islands near Cape Lookout with plenty of bluefish and Spanish mackerel action along the beaches. Capt. Joe Shute tells me it is the fantastic king mackerel fishing that has anglers really excited at Morehead City, however. The kings are big and biting and many boats have caught their limit of fish in a short time.
TW's Bait and Tackle in Nags Head reported some great blue fishing along the beaches and pier of the Outer Banks. Speckled and gray seatrout, puppy drum, spots, croakers and sea mullet were also caught. The Avon pier reported five large drum in addition to the previous "smaller" fish.
Similar reports of great fishing came out of Ocracoke; however, fantastic catches of red drum of all sizes were reported from the beaches and in the inlet.
Swansboro and the Wilmington area have had good speckle trout and red drum fishing this past week. Much of the action has been in the marshes. Spanish and blue fishing has been dynamite along the beaches and so has the king mackerel bite.
The one part of our fishing that was bothered the most by our windier days was our offshore fleets. However, when the boat got out the Wahoo bite was hot. A few tuna were also boated.
The moral of this weeks report: It's fall and the fish are always biting somewhere on the coast.
October 10th Weekly Report
It was another spectacular week of weather and fishing on the coast. With calm seas and plenty of sun both beach goers and anglers reveled in fall's glory. From Kitty Hawk to Wrightsville and all in between, beach fishermen are enjoying great fishing for a huge variety of fish. Bluefish, Spanish mackerel, pompano, sea mullet, flounder, seatrout, red and black drum, and yes, even a few more were all caught along miles of Carolina beaches. Those who chose to pier fish also did well; including several giant red drum on the Outer Banks from Nags Head and Avon.
Near shore boats continue to do very well on bluefish and Spanish mackerel with some great king mackerel fishing. The best and the biggest kings seemed to be being hook around the Cape Lookout near shore wrecks and reefs. Capt. Joe Shute of Atlantic Beach reported fish weighing as much as 40 pounds.
Dr. Hutton Brantley of Greenville, N.C., caught this puppy drum (redfish) along with a number of spotted seatrout while fishing with Capt. Gary Dubiel on the Neuse River near Oriental Oct. 6, 2012.
Seatrout and redfishing has been excellent in the sounds and rivers up and down the coat as well. Continued great spotted seatrout fishing on the Neuse Bay and Pamlico Rivers has many anglers fishing out of New Bern, Bayboro, Oriental and Washington. In addition to specks, puppy drum (redfish), flounder and weakfish are also being taken. There have even been a number of late season giant red drum boated on the Neuse.
Morehead City, Swansboro and Wilmington are also seeing good coast creek and sound fishing for specks and reds.
Offshore anglers have done well this past week too. Wahoo numbers seemed to be on the rise with continuing good catches of white marlin and sailfish. A few blue marlin as well as dolphin, and yellow fin tuna have also been landed.
An approaching cold front may not be what most beachcombers would like to see, but for the fall angler it is going to be just the ticket for more great angling. There is nothing like a few brisk nights to get the fish to put on the feedbag and for anglers to stretch a line.
We are having a great year of fishing on the coast, so come see us!
October 3rd Weekly Report
With another beautiful week of early fall weather, great fishing reports have come in from up and down the coast.
Paul Butler of Raleigh caught this spotted seatrout off the Neuse River near Oriental while fishing with Capt. Gary Dubiel Sept. 29, 2012.
The striped bass keeper season opened for the Neuse and Pamlico Rivers and the Albemarle Sound on Oct. 1, so expect more news on them. In many of these same areas, the fabulous spotted seatrout fishing has dominated the action. In addition to good numbers and sizes, the specks have been putting on a show chasing top-water lures early in the morning. Look to cash in on all-day success using a variety of soft plastic lures, popping cork rigs and even some live bait. Puppy drum, flounder, bluefish, stripers and gray trout are also being caught in these areas.
Typically just refereed to as "specks," spotted seatrout are also biting in the Morehead City area. Anglers are landing other species as well, including red drum, bluefish, Spanish mackerel and false albacore. Capt. Joe Shute also told me that the king mackerel bite was really heating up both east and west of the Cape Lookout Shoals.
Calm conditions make for great sight casting opportunities, and with a more abundant red drum population in the Swansboro and Wilmington areas this year, anglers have had no problem connecting to some pretty fish. Black drum, flounder and specks round out the inshore report.
Offshore up and down the coast continued to experience great white marlin fishing with some sails and blue marlin coming to the boats as well. Wahoo and yellow fin and black fin tuna were also captured.
September 26th Weekly Report
What wonderful early fall weather and fabulous fall fishing we are having at the coast! My good friends at TW's Bait and Tackle in Nags Head tell me that the offshore fleet had an amazing week of bill fishing with more than 200 fish caught and released on Saturday alone.
Whether you're fishing offshore out of Oregon Inlet, Hatteras, Morehead City or Wilmington, early fall is as good as it gets for white and blue marlin and sailfish. That's anywhere on the planet. So check out a trip on a big boat and you'll have a chance to catch one of anglers' most prized species, and with a little luck, wahoo, tuna and dolphin will also come your way.
Closer to the beaches, bluefish and Spanish mackerel have been plentiful along the entire coast. Along with good surf fishing, all the coastal communities have had plenty of to keep the most skilled and the most novice angler raving about his experience. One of the more exciting reports came from Capt. Joe Shute, my good friend in Morehead City. Surf anglers there have been catching plenty of 30- to 38-inch red drum.
Speaking of our state fish, giant red drum are still being caught in the lower Neuse River and Pamlico Sound as well as near Ocracoke. You won't find bigger red drum anywhere, so get out and get a shot at one of these monsters.
Ted Mayer from Raleigh caught a variety of red drum and spotted seatrout while fishing on the Neuse River near Oriental with Capt. Gary Dubiel Sept. 24, 2012.
Other great fishing also continues on the Neuse and Pamlico rivers and Pamlico Sound. One of the most popular game fish in the Southeast is the spotted seatrout. Well, fishing for them has been red hot with some impressive top-water fishing. We're also seeing good catches of striped bass, puppy drum and flounder. If you've been fishing lakes, ponds and streams and have not tried this, head to the coast and give it a go. You will never be the same.
For an interesting twist to great red drum fishing, Capt. Seth Vernon has been sight fishing for drum (redfish) and hunting rail on the same trip. This unique sporting adventure recently landed him in Gray's Sporting Journal.
Big fish, medium fish or even small fish, coastal North Carolina's fall fishing is hard to beat.
September 19th Weekly Report
Well anglers, fall is here! It is time to grab your rods and head to the North Carolina coast. Here's some of the great fishing we're already seeing in our rivers and sounds, along our beaches and off our coast.
Giant red drum remain in the lower Neuse River and western Pamlico Sound. These world-class giants will be giving anglers a thrill of a lifetime for a few more weeks before they head toward Ocracoke Inlet. To catch yours, Oriental and Cedar Island are the best places to launch from.
Mike Miller of Charlotte with a 48-inch red drum caught Sept. 15, 2012 on the Neuse River near Oriental while fishing with Capt. Gary Dubiel.
For smaller versions of state fish, try sight casting near Swansboro and Wilmington, surf fishing on the northern Outer Banks or light tackle angling on coastal creeks and river shorelines all along the western Pamlico. Each location has seen recent great fishing.
The spotted seatrout fishing has also been excellent on the Neuse River and its tributaries. Recent cool evenings have jumpstarted what is sure to be an awesome fall of fishing for these popular game fish.
Top-water striped bass fishing has also been excellent on the Neuse River near New Bern and on the Pamlico River. Don't miss out on this exciting angler experience.
Good mixed bags of species have been coming in from the beaches and piers along the coast. From bluefish to sea mullet, there's something going on. There's no better way to enjoy a day with the family.
Near-coastal locations from north to south are seeing gathering number of bluefish, Spanish and king mackerel and false albacore. Cooler ocean water temps and increasing amounts of bait will have these migrants fired up and ready to catch.
We're also seeing world-class offshore fishing from most of the state's many ports. Sailfish and white and blue marlin fishing has been dynamite. Wahoo, tuna and dolphin fish are coming to the boat as well, so it might be time to try your hand at a blue water adventure.
Whatever your angling interests might be, coastal North Carolina will have something to satisfy you this fall. Fishing is already fine, so plan your trip and come on this way. The fish are waiting on you.

What is the biomass to energy facility all about?
Placer County is developing an approach to finance and install a new small scale combined heat and power facility in eastern Placer County. This facility will utilize technology that is powered entirely by woody biomass - a green renewable fuel generated as a byproduct of hazardous forest fuels reduction activities. Scheduled to be operational in the 2014/15 timeframe, the facility will generate electricity 24/7 for distribution in eastern Placer County. It will also provide a demonstration of heat for the building and to melt snow on the roof, road, and sidewalks of the site.
Placer County has been developing plans for a biomass to energy facility in eastern Placer County for an extended period of time. Several economic and environmental studies have been performed and Placer County is now in a position to move forward to the development phase of the project. Technical information is available in the "Grants" section of this website. The Placer County Board of Supervisors has directed staff to move forward with the project at a site known as Cabin Creek located at the Eastern Regional Landfill off Highway 89. The environmental documents for Cabin Creek are available for review.
In December of 2011 Placer County was contacted by the Sequoia Foundation that a grant to perform a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) of the proposed Cabin Creek Biomass Energy facility from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Pew Charitable Trusts was awarded. The goal was to look at the potential positive and negative health impacts of this type of facility for the region. In an HIA, an objective review is done on the proposed project and community stakeholder involvement dictates which health outcomes are assessed. Collaboration with the surrounding communities was a critical facet of the analysis that looked at impacts to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, wildfires, water quality, community stress and anxiety, noise, traffic and employment opportunities. For information about this HIA, please see the press release and full report. An executive summary is also available in Spanish (Traducción al Español).
Who are our partners?
The Cabin Creek Biomass Facility project has attracted both equity partners and government partners. Placer County has already received a Congressionally-directed grant for $500,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy sponsored by Congressman Doolittle (technical grant activities are currently in progress) as well as another $1.5 million for project development and environmental review and $1 million grant for construction of the facility sponsored by Senator Feinstein. Our government partners are the USDA Forest Service. Currently Placer County has a contractual relationship with the USFS to remove existing biomass piles for use in generating renewable energy rather than burning piles in the open. The long-term goal is to create a stewardship agreement to allow future woody biomass material from the National Forests to be utilized in the Biomass to Energy Facility.
Who else is supporting the concept of this project? NOTE: Since no specific design has been completed, any such support from organizations is conceptual and in no way should convey anything deeper. Placer County has received wide ranging conceptual support (political, technical and economic) from numerous organizations including:
In addition, discussions are ongoing with several environmental groups (League to Save Lake Tahoe, Sierra Club, and Sierra Forest Legacy) so as to encourage their acceptance and participation in the project.
What is our timeline?
With the Placer County Board of Supervisors denying the appeal of the Cabin Creek site, the project is now working toward final power purchase agreements, private financing, and design. The facility could be operational by the Winter of 2014/15.
Are there any ways for the public to provide input?
At this point, all public hearings have been concluded; however, Placer County welcomes public input which can be provided to the project manager at any time. Are there answers to Frequently Asked Questions available that address this project?
Yes, we have a detailed Frequently Asked Questions - 2010 (FAQ) document that is updated as new information is available. In addition, a new list of Frequently Asked Questions - 2011 has been developed based on further research and project studies.

No member after appointment can hold any salaried public office or engage in county employment, other than their commission duties. Members of the commission serve without compensation.
This appointment will be for two years to fill an unexpired term ending Dec. 31, 2014. Full term appointments are for six years.
There are three total members on the commission, with the two current members now representing east and south Snohomish County. Members can serve a total of three terms.
The Civil Service Commission meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 10:15 a.m. in the county's Administration West Building, located at 3000 Rockefeller Ave. in Everett.

County Execs Tout Gambling's Benefits to Economic Development, Education
County executives from Montgomery, Anne Arundel and Prince George's counties are advocating for a casino at National Harbor, adding table games and expanding casino hours around the state.
By Carl Straumsheim, Capital News Service
Using Saturday's University of Maryland Terrapins football game as a metaphor, county executives Rushern Baker III, Ike Leggett and Ken Ulman on Thursday framed the referendum on expanding gambling in Maryland as a conflict between economic development and out-of-state interests.
"Just like I want Maryland to beat West Virginia on Saturday in football, I want Maryland to beat back this out-of-state money in November," Howard County Executive Ken Ulman said.
If passed, the referendum, which appears as Question 7 on the ballot, would allow a casino to open at National Harbor in Prince George's County -- the sixth casino in the state. It would also enable existing casinos to stay open around the clock and offer table games like blackjack and roulette instead of just digital representations.
Ulman stressed the initiative's impact on local education budgets as a reason why Maryland voters should cast ballots in favor of gambling expansion in November.
"We know that there is a burden to continue to be able to find the revenues to invest in our children's education," Ulman said. "This is one way to enhance the Education Trust Fund and help us accomplish that goal. It's not the only way; it's one way."
As the bill was being debated in the General Assembly, Republicans accused Gov. Martin O'Malley of giving tax breaks to gambling companies, while raising taxes on Marylanders making more than $100,000. In Prince George's County, some religious leaders worry that a casino could bring increased crime to their neighborhoods.
Attempts to reach expanded gambling opponents Thursday were unsuccessful.
Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker III accused competing casinos in neighboring states of trying to distort the debate by running political ads opposing the expansion in Maryland.
"Make no mistake: This is about Maryland versus West Virginia," Baker said. "People running ads against having a sixth site in Prince George's County and expanding table games are from West Virginia."
Baker also distanced himself from the idea that existing casinos in Maryland are opposing the expansion to protect their own bottom lines.
"We took care of Anne Arundel County -- made sure they're held harmless -- and other facilities. I think people are satisfied with the way the bill came out of the General Assembly," Baker said. "People in Maryland need to understand this is about protecting resources and dollars in the state."

So they feel it's better to have the gambling house because they want to take the economic opportunities away from West Virginia? Ok. Now let's see those same county executives compete with W. Va. on property taxes.
Michael B. Cron
8:53 am on Friday, September 21, 2012
Do me a favor Mr. Baker, Mr. Leggett and Mr. Ulman, don't ever mention and compare the University of Maryland College Park and its Football program which is an honest and worthy institution to the likes of gambling and casinos. When we as a football team battle West Virginia, it is in a stadium with two loyal and dedicated teams trying to win the game for their respective schools. It is something that is honest and steeped in tradition. Gambling on the other hand is an insidious vice that prays on the public at large. The only winners here are the casino owners and the special interest groups, but you all know that already. Your comments make me despise your attempts to ram gambling down our throats even more unsettling!
12:52 pm on Friday, September 21, 2012
If you don't want to gamble then don't gamble, but don't pretend like your definition of an "insidious vice" has any real meaning to the rest of us. You're the one who's attempting to "ram" your inane belief system down the rest of the state's throat. Want to outlaw smoking, drinking, and cursing while you're at it, your highness?
Emil Farkwarp
3:16 pm on Friday, September 21, 2012
I'm calling you, Jag. All three "vices" you name ARE regulated as are prostitution, marijuana and gambling. Why are we only discussing expanding gambling when prostitution is a much better money maker? And what could possibly beat legally taxed weed for a revenue stream?
Gambling is a sucker's bet. Construction jobs are, as always, temporary. The jobs in and related to the casino are overwhelmingly low-end low-skill services offering minimal benefits. Increased crime and social problems consume resources while medically-uninsured employees are cared for by the state with its newfound money. Sorry, schools!
All in all a win for the businesses in gambling. and nobody else.
Finally, is a self-tax any less of a tax? The outcry over increased number of folks subject to tax penalty under Obomneycare indicates that self-taxing IS a tax!

Will there be gambling in Montgomery County?
If so, when and where?
If not, why not?
Richard Rice
5:04 pm on Saturday, September 22, 2012
We do not need gambling in Montgomery County! We have corruption and
colusion enough without it.
Jeff Takahashi
10:17 pm on Saturday, September 22, 2012
No there won't be any gambling in Montgomery County (MC). Fortunately, the county council voted to pout out all gambling options. A casino in MC is the last thing we need.
9:39 am on Sunday, September 23, 2012
Richard Rice:
What corruption and collusion does Montgomery County Have?
What does that have to do with gambling?
Our County Executive, Mr. Leggett has made a record of supporting gambling, why not have gambling here in Montgomery County along with the attendant jobs, and revenue?
9:47 am on Sunday, September 23, 2012
Jeff Takahashi:
Why is it fortunate that the Montgomery County Council, "voted to pout out all gambling options?"
Why is a casino "last thing we need?"
Gambling is in Maryland. Gambling will create jobs and generate revenue. Why not have gambling in Montgomery County for those reasons?
Montgomery County has a population of around one million people, why should those Montgomery County residents wishing to gamble have to travel away from Montgomery County?
Michael B. Cron
8:31 pm on Friday, September 21, 2012
Dear Mr. "Jag", last I checked the state is trying to ram gambling down mine and many others throats! Question 7 is a looser just like most of the gamblers do (loose that is) when they patronize the casinos that are already open in this state. Personally I could not care less if you want to give your hard earned money to the casinos. Let me know when all of that windfall casino money starts trickling in to Annapolis and there is a big announcement that our schools have more than enough money to educate our children and that property taxes, gas taxes and sales tax are going to be reduced. Until then I will remain skeptical. As far as drinking, smoking and cursing are concerned; they are not the issue here.
12:47 am on Sunday, September 23, 2012
You didn't even explain how the state is ramming gambling down your throat. I can't even begin to try to understand what you're rambling about. Are you trying to spell "lose"?
Michael B. Cron
10:35 am on Sunday, September 23, 2012
Jag, if all you can do is point out a spelling glitch and thank you for that. I will try to be more careful so that you can understand more succinctly what I am rambling about. Annapolis and PG County are hell bent on passing gambling (because they think it is a cure all) to try and cover-up their poor management of our tax dollars over the years (including yours if you pay taxes). Nothing more, nothing less. Please, do not let my rambling keep you from financing our state government's poor fiscal management of our tax dollars through gambling.
11:31 am on Sunday, September 23, 2012
No one is ramming anything down your throat. Chill out, vote against it if you hate the idea of people being able to make their own choices, and move on with your life.

Freeh: Paterno failed in "actions and words"
Jerry Sandusky and Joe Paterno in an undated file photo. / AP Photo
(CBS/AP) Joe Paterno knew about allegations of child sex abuse against Jerry Sandusky in 1998 but his "actions and words" never demonstrated any concern for the victims even though Sandusky had been a trusted member of his coaching staff for three decades, and had an office just steps away from Paterno's, according to the man who led Penn State's investigation into the scandal.
The 267-page report released Thursday is the result of an eight-month inquiry by former FBI director Louis Freeh, hired by university trustees weeks after Sandusky was arrested in November to look into what has become one of sports' biggest scandals.
Penn State report condemns "callous disregard"Read the full 267-page report here
Paterno was strongly criticized for some of his comments about the scandal. Freeh noted that Paterno, after assistant coach Mike McQueary reported witnessing Sandusky sexually abuse a boy in the shower in 2001, said: "You did what you had to do. It is my job now to figure out what we want to do."
"Why would anyone have to figure out what had to be done in these circumstances?" Freeh said.
Penn State's report about its handling of Jerry Sandusky includes a series of emails that point to Paterno being aware of a 1998 case in which Sandusky was confronted about showering with another boy.Although his investigators were unable to speak to the coach before he died, the Freeh Group spoke with some of the coach's representatives and evaluated his grand jury testimony, notes and papers.
The report says that moreover, Paterno -- along with then-president Graham Spanier, former VP Gary Schultz and athletic director Tim Curley -- were trying to protect Penn State's reputation. The reports states that it is "reasonable to conclude that, in order to avoided the consequences of bad publicity, the most powerful leaders at Penn State University ... repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky's child abuse from the authorities, the Board of Trustees, Penn State community, and the public at large."The report also notes that Paterno delayed reporting Sandusky's sexual conduct because the coach did not "want to interfere" with people's weekend. Last November, Paterno did concede: "With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more."
Jerry Sandusky gets 30 to 60 years in prison
The report says Paterno likely would have fully cooperated with the Freeh investigation had it not been for his deteriorating health and death.
However, the report is highly critical of the legendary coach and athletic director Tim Curley for failing to take action for more than a decade.
"Paterno and Curley never demonstrated, through actions or words, any concern for the safety and well-being of Sandusky's victims until after Sandusky's arrest," the report said.
After the report was released, Joe Paterno's family released a statement saying "the underlying facts as summarized in the report are almost entirely consistent with what we understood them to be." "Joe Paterno wasn't perfect. He made mistakes and he regretted them. He is still the only leader to step forward and say that with the benefit of hindsight he wished he had done more," the family said. "To think, however, that he would have protected Jerry Sandusky to avoid bad publicity is simply not realistic. If Joe Paterno had understood what Sandusky was, a fear of bad publicity would not have factored into his actions."Popular on CBSNews.com

- As someone who earned advanced degrees from Penn State and attended there in the 70's, I can tell that some of you posters have not a clue. Paterno did what he was legally required to do. Show me one piece of actual evidence Freeh came up with besides an email from someone who perjured himself in front of a grand jury.
- reply
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- You have advanced degrees, and you still can't understand how Paterno failed to protect those children who got abused by Sandusky. I was one of you, who sided with JoePa until the facts came out, and the fact is he could have gone to jail if he were still alive. Penn State is settling with the victims, thats not exactly a vote of confidence in the people who were in charge of this situation. I woke up, u should too.

- Every year, more parents entrust college coaches like the late Joe Paterno with the most precious thing in their lives...the welfare and matriculation of their children. The coaches who recruit these young people sell their parents on the quality of their schools, the experience of interacting with the college community, their character, their mature judgement and their ability to help young people to make responsible decisions as they become adults.
The most damming part of this report clearly shows that all of these qualities were lacking in the case of Joe Paterno and Jerry Sandusky. Where was Joe Pa's character, his mature judgement or any responsible decisionmaking?
Joe Pa had tunnel vision was only worried about protecting the reputation of his program...even at the expense of the young children who were Sandusky's victims. Although this was a sad ending, he deserved to be fired...as did every other high ranking PSU official who knew about this. - reply
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- The only "evidence" Freeh came up with is an email by Schultz, the guy who lied to a grand jury, of claiming to have discussed the situation with Joe. A lot of finger pointing against Paterno, with NO evidence that would stand up in court. Why does this report even resort to speculation, rather than simply present facts?
- reply
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- It goes against Joe because he cant defend himself. Freeh, being the phoney he is, took the easy way out, especially since PSU is paying !!!!!!
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- The saddest part is that insane influence and culture of college football and its big money deeply pervades and controls many of this country's universities and this, or a scandal like this, could easily repeat at other schools.
- reply
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- Paterno may be a Hall-of-Fame coach, but he's a sorry asss of a human being.
- reply
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- Those who worship his achievements in football will never look at the man beneath, who is revealed by this mess.
