Farewell, my good friend
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
"Boody" Gilbertson Merlin R. "Boody" Gilbertson is a lifelong Snohomish County resident. He was a member of the undefeated Everett High School boys basketball team that won the 1940 state championship. He went on to play basketball and baseball at the University of Washington. Named one of the 50 Greatest Athletes in Snohomish County history by The Herald in 2005, he was inducted into the Snohomish County Sports Hall of Fame in 2012. Now 90, Gilbertson lives in east Everett.
Sarah Weiser / The Herald
Marv Harshman, who was inducted into the Snohomish County Sports Hall of Fame in 2010, died April 12 at the age of 95. A memorial is scheduled for today at the University of Washington, where he coached basketball for 14 seasons.
My story about Marv Harshman begins sometime in April 1937, when I was leaving the baseball diamond at Bagshaw Field in Everett and a stranger stopped me.
"Boody," the man said, "you don't know me but my name is George Bourcier and I manage the Lundeen baseball team every summer in Lake Stevens. I am just now putting the team together for this summer and we need a first baseman. Would you like to come and play first base for us?"
Of course, I said "Yes!" Bourcier told me there was no money in playing ball -- just a lot of fun, some snacks, pop and some of our manager's personally made "home brew" after the games. We played before crowds of 300 to 500 people every Sunday, all summer long. There was no television back then and the fans paid to get in.
I think almost everyone in Snohomish County knew about Lundeen's Park in Lake Stevens. The recreation facility sprawled over 20 acres, had dozens of cabins and hundreds of wooden picnic tables. The large fenced-in swimming area could hold 500 kids. There was a boat rental, a tavern and a fenced baseball field with a covered grandstand.
At my first Lundeen team tournament, I met the rest of the squad, which included catcher Gar Bourcier, George's 40-year-old brother; third baseman Bernie Maltsberger; second baseman Jack, who used an anonymous last name because he was a local pastor who preferred playing baseball on Sunday afternoons to staying around the church; left fielder Joe Hebert; center fielder/manager George Bourcier; right-fielder Harry Bourcier, Gar's son; and a 19-year-old shortstop named Marv Harshman.
That's when I met the man who would become a lifetime friend. What a thrill that was. Marv had been my athletic idol from his days at Lake Stevens High School, where he was a star in all four major sports. After graduation, Marv went to the University of Washington and played fullback on the freshman team, then dropped out for a couple of years to work. After the summer of 1939, he enrolled at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma.
Marv was a wonderful guy to play ball with -- always bright and smiling and having a good time. As a young athlete, I learned a lot from him. Marv seemed to have been born with a teacher's instincts. Many times over his long coaching career he said: "Remember, I am first a teacher and then a coach." Maybe he was practicing on me. If so, he did a great job. I ended up playing shortstop for the balance of my baseball career, starting in 1938 and ending when I was 32 years old in 1954. I played basketball for UW in 1942, 1943, and 1947, and baseball in 1942 and 1947.
I worked in Everett all my life and I lived in Lake Stevens for 40 years. During that time I watched hundreds of football, basketball and baseball games and only recommended one player I thought worthy of playing for Marv. As it turned out, Marv and I watched one of the player's games together and attended a social with friends at our house afterward. Unfortunately, the local player I brought Marv to see had a bad night, so the social turned out to be the highlight of the evening. Marv made a lot of new friends. A memorable time it was for my wife, Beverly, and myself.
Over the years, I followed Marv's athletic exploits from his outstanding high school career to the UW freshman football team, to PLU, where he collected many honors as a player -- Little All American, member of a national champion football team, all-league in basketball, etc. He then launched a successful coaching career that took him to PLU (13 years), Washington State (13 years) and finally Washington (14 years). The honors and awards he earned as a Hall-of-Fame basketball coach are too numerous to mention, so I won't repeat them here.
I had the pleasure of seeing Marv more often the past 20 years, after he retired. Since we were both past presidents of the Old Timer's Basketball Association, we saw each other at the annual board meetings and functions. One time after a board meeting, Marv needed a ride so I was fortunate to be able to take him to see his wife, Dorothy, who was in the hospital, and then home. We had a nice chat about the good old days.
For the past three years, each time I went to a Husky athletic alumni function, the first question that came up was "How is Marv?" I'm sorry to say that the last time I asked that question, I had to say goodbye to my dear friend.
Sadly, I never again played with or for Marv after those early days at Lundeen Park, but I loved to read about his accomplishments and loved following his career. How blessed I was to be able to call him my friend.
So long, old pal.
With love from your enduring friend,
"Boody" Gilbertson.

Users frustrated with the new, overwhelmed USAJobs 3.0
Monday - 10/17/2011, 5:34am EDT
Federal jobseekers are complaining that the new version of the USAJobs.gov website is slow and clunky — just the opposite of what the Office of Personnel Management had promised when it took control of the site from a government contractor.
"We hope we're going to open the floodgates for innovation and competition," said Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry at a tech forum just hours before his agency released the new version.
But those floodgates have been stifled as users complain they cannot access the site. Instead, they're greeted by an apology on the site's homepage:
"USAJOBS 3.0 has been overwhelmed with the volume of visitors to the site since its launch earlier this week. In fact, many of the challenges that users have experienced are a result of the system timing out due to traffic and not technical functionality issues. USAJOBS 3.0 has received, on average, 2.5 million visitors per day since Tuesday, October 11; this is three times the highest peak day in 2010 on the previous USAJOBS. While we do not believe the sustained traffic will continue, we are exploring options to resolve this issue as soon as possible."
'We expected this'
OPM is asking agencies that use the site to recruit to extend their application deadlines while it works out the kinks.
"We will continue to experience technical glitches, like most new IT products," said an OPM spokeswoman in an email statement. "We expected this and have a dedicated team working around the clock to address these issues. We are working carefully to make 3.0 run smoothly, realizing it takes some time to get a new system to 'quiet down.'"
The spokeswoman said OPM transferred more than 5 billion rows of data, associated with the applicants' resumes, profiles and other pertinent documents. USAJOBS is home to 17 million accounts and last year processed 21 million applications.
"This is by far OPM's highest trafficked, most complex website," the spokeswoman said. "USAJOBS 3.0 is the culmination of an 18 month overhaul process, worked in collaboration with the CHCO council and our vendor partners."
But the problems aren't making the users' move to version 3 any easier.
"The new website has so many bugs it should be exterminated," wrote Donna Schultz on the USAJobs Facebook page.
In addition to capacity overload, users are complaining about having to reset their passwords because of new security requirements.
Some jobseekers sympathetic
"We are using social media to remind visitors that they need to re-enter their security questions since as we announced earlier passwords could not be transferred from 2.0 to 3.0," said the OPM spokeswoman. "This accounts for a great percentage of the several thousand help desk requests we have received. In addition to answering each individually, we will also continue to respond through blanket emails and social networking."
The new site represents OPM's effort to take control of the government's most widely used website from contractor Monster Government Solutions. Federal human resources leaders wanted to use open architecture and standard code rather than Monster's proprietary technology . The new site is supposed to connect with 59 contractors' websites and every federal agency portal.
But some job seekers are sympathetic to OPM as it works to get the site going.
"These are people with feelings who are just trying to do the best job they can-give them a break and let them fix the situation," wrote Gabrielle Tarr Donnald on the USAJobs Facebook page.
Rosalie Barrack added, "if you can't handle frustration and confusion, don't look for a job with the government."
USAJobs 3.0 launches amid hopes of greater integration

Somply Beautiful!!!
These were prettier in person, The color matched what was shown on the website. LOVED THEM!!!! I was able to have the company remove the lines and name and table! Perfect! I was able to add my own script
I am absolutely happy with my product! Would definitely reccommend to anyone!
I love the product!! It was exactly what I ordered and exactly how I imagined my programs, place cards, and invites to look like!
I ordered our invitations, programs and place cards from Magnet Street. I love this company! I accidentally ordered the wrong paper and they were awesome to work with. They were able to get the correct paper on the order before it went to print and saved the day!
great condition
The cards match our invites which is great! They are easy to write on, and came in great condition. I love that our info is on the back. Very much worth the price.
Very Nice
Simple & elegant design. We used these for our rehearsal dinner and the filigree ones for our wedding reception. I think I like these better. Regardless, MagnetStreet was very helpful in terms of getting these to me on time and acknowledging all my requests. When it comes to printing, though, be careful...hyphens come out looking funny!

A local law enforcement agency has been awarded a grant for a new detective position.
The grant, awarded by the Violence Against Women Act, will pay for a dedicated investigator to deal with domestic violence and sexual assault cases, according to information from Lt. Jason Bettis of the Jacksonville Police Department.
The detective, Karen Hasbargen, has been with the JPD for 13 years working patrol, narcotics, juvenile investigations, evidence and, most recently, property crimes. She said she is looking forward to stepping away from property crimes and into the new role.
"I think in police work everyone has a place to be, and some places are better than others depending on your experience, your skills and where you enjoy being," Hasbargen said. "I enjoy working one-on-one with individuals. I do better in these situations than with other things I have done."
Bettis said that the new position plays to Hasbargen's skills and strengths.
"A lot of our investigators work a broad number of crimes, but what we've seen in Hasbargen is the ability to work these inherently touchy cases," he said. "You have to have the skills because it is a very personal, private situation a lot of times, and you have to be able to communicate with people and get to what happened in a professional manner. Understanding the unique victim dynamic in these situations is what Hasbargen brings to the table."
While this position will be dealing with all domestic violence and sexual assaults in Jacksonville, Hasbargen will work directly with NCIS on cases that involve military members to better serve those victims, according to Bettis.
"We see our fair share of domestic violence-related issues and a lot of them dealing with military personnel," Bettis said. "That's what the majority of our community is, so obviously we are going to see that. We're not picking on the military in general, but the military does have a unique ability to intervene in these situations."
The area's demographic played a role in getting the grant, Beth Purcell, media liaison for the Jacksonville Department of Public Safety, said.
"We have a very young military demographic here, and they are faced with back-to-back deployments away from their families," she said. "They are under a lot of stress and pressure. It can create some volatile situations."
Bettis said by partnering with NCIS, JPD can better facilitate communication with the command, have better communication between the agencies and better intelligence as to whether the subject has been counseled for these behaviors with his command
"What NCIS has done is provide us with a pipeline of information between the two agencies," he said.
Purcell said that being able to approach the problem from both sides of the gate is an approach that will work.
"Our demographic supports that," she said. "Having one detective that can focus on that area and have those relationships is going to breed success."
NCIS Supervisory Special Agent David L. Gardner said the agency is thrilled about this new position.
"We see the JPD as a progressive, professional department; and this grant is a perfect example of that," he said. "It ties in specifically with something NCIS is doing at Camp Lejeune. We set up a sexual assault task force between ourselves, CID and the JPD, and we are targeting adult sexual assaults on military members."
Gardner said he believes this is a win-win for both agencies, as well as the citizens they serve.
"We want to seek justice for these victims," he said, "and this position is going to let us do that."

As a kid in the 1960's I eagerly awaited the arrival of my Dad's next issue of Popular Mechanics. It was full of entertaining informative stories, like Gus the Mechanic. It had detailed instructions for home improvement projects, repair instructions for appliances, detailed owner reports on vehicles and so much more. I sadly just ended my current subscription, as there is barely anything in the current issues. I read the whole thing in about ten minutes, ignoring most of the irrelevant short blurb-type articles. It is truly sad what has become of a once great magazine.

Popular Mechanics Subscription Video Review
I'm Jay Clarke and today I'm taking a little time to talk about some of my favorite magazines.
Popular Mechanics magazine covers all the latest news in technology and science all while showing how those changes will affect your life –from the gadgets and consumer electronics, to your home, your car, and your health.
Every issue is packed with great sections, like Tech Watch, where the Popular Mechanics editorial team shares the latest news, trends and breakthroughs around the world. The DIY sections are also great reads that show you tips, advice, and step-by-step guides of things you can do. One article may show you how to get the most out of that new SLR camera you picked up, while another might show you 20 tips to lower your monthly energy bill.
And of course, I have to mention the features that show some of the incredible things people are accomplishing out there. A recent favorite was the DIY aircraft piece showing some of the amazing planes a few people have made that also included ideas and steps on how to go about building your own fully functioning flying machine.
Overall, Popular Mechanics is a really informative and entertaining read. It strikes a great balance of covering interesting and cutting-edge stories, while also giving you things you can take back and do in your own life. If you're the type of person who loves to know what makes things tick, then take a look at the current Popular Mechanics subscription discounts and offers at Magazines.com.

I'm very happy to announce the final release of Gaelyk 1.0, the lightweight Groovy toolkit for Google App Engine!
It took some time to get to 1.0, but it's now here, with the key feature I've been missing since the beginning of the project, in particular the Query DSL which allows you to write queries like this one:
If you want to learn more about this lightweight framework, head over to: http://gaelyk.appspot.com/
You can learn everything through the tutorial: http://gaelyk.appspot.com/tutorial
And download the JAR or the template project here: http://gaelyk.appspot.com/download
Should you want to ask questions on the Google Groups, get involved in the community, participate in the development of this Open Source project, have a look at our community page: http://gaelyk.appspot.com/community
This release wouldn't have been possible with all the great contributions of you all, your pull requests on GitHub, your Gradle plugins, your bug reports, your questions on the Google Group, etc. So I'd like to tell you all a big thank you for all your work and contributions. They were very much appreciated, and keep them coming!
The change log:
- GAE SDK updated to 1.5.2 and Groovy to 1.8.1
- Introduction of a Query DSL for creating SQL-like queries against the datastore
- Updated template project with a Gradle build, the usage of Gradle GAE / Gaelyk plugins, and the support of Spock for testing Groovlets
- Introduction of the plugins page in the Gaelyk website, for referencing known plugins
- By annotating classes with GaelykBindings, the same services and variables are injected in your classes as properties, as the ones which are injected in Groovlets and templates
- The validation closures of the routes in your URL mapping have access to the request, so you can validate a URL depending on what's in your request (attribute, session, etc.)
- Added a DSLD file (DSL descriptor) for Eclipse for easing code-completion and navigation
- Added a get() method on Key, as well as on lists of keys
- Ability to convert lists to Keys
- Added two encoded string and key conversion utilities
- Additional datastore.get() methods to retrieve entities by their keys more concisely
- Problems with the recent XMPP support fixed
- Fixed inability to access the various services and variables from within binding/before/after blocks in plugin descriptors
Thanks a lot for your attention, and enjoy developing Groovy applications on Google App Engine!

Mini grant-winning teachers in Lenoir County were surprised with award checks in December, and now classroom projects are coming to life.
Kim Hipkiss, CPR teacher at North Lenoir High School, submitted a grant application in hopes of getting her students new infant mannequins for CPR practice.
She called her project, "Baby, come back."
"I needed more baby mannequins so that I could certify more students," Hipkiss said.
Fourteen Lenoir County teachers were given mini grants up from $200 to $500 for various education projects — the amounts ranged from the $200 Karen Hall from Banks Elementary School was awarded, to Hipkiss and seven LCS nurses winning the maximum $500. The Lenoir County Education Foundation raised more than $6,500 through an adult spelling bee and the STAGES performing art program.
Hipkiss was one of the $500 award winners.
The certification classes are a part of the health sciences curriculum for students who hope to have a career in health care.
North Lenoir senior Justin Shimer plans to become a dentist and said the new dolls will be helpful for health courses.
"It's going to help us train better," he said. "Having new equipment and technology makes it easier to learn. New things happen all the time, so you need to be prepared for all of it."
Although he has a dental dream, he said it's always good to be prepared by knowing standard CPR.
"It's definitely about time for some (new mannequins)," Shimer said.
The class has nine infant dummies, but some of them are missing limbs. They are washed with antibacterial solution after each use, but a need for disposable lungs was included in the grant application.
Hipkiss will order five new mannequins and one-time use lung bags, "any day now," she said.
There are 40 students in the two health science classes and 16 are trained at a time. Students in the curriculum have to be CPR-certified before they can observe at the county's clinical agency.
She said the health science program will host lunch modules so the course students can show their classmates across North Lenoir CPR skills.
"We're trying to get more kids exposed to it in the school," Hipkiss said.
With so many students around, she said it was tough to actually complete the application in October.
"Teaching is very demanding of your time," she said. "Finding the time is really the biggest challenge."
Hipkiss, who's won the annual mini grant twice before, said she will continue to submit for the award asking for updated equipment.
"The dummies we had weren't up to standard, and health care ethical codes change yearly and you need to be up-to-date," said North Lenoir senior Jorie Edwards, who plans to be a physician's assistant. "I feel like with these upgraded materials that we'd be able to do a just job."

Jenny Craig Center - Washington, DC
WebMD Physician Directory
Washington, District of Columbia
Washington, D.C. formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States, founded on July 16, 1790. The City of Washington was originally a separate municipality within the Territory of Columbia until an act of Congress in 1871 effectively merged the City and the Territory into a single entity called the District of Columbia. It is for this reason that the city, while legally named the District of Columbia, is known as Washington, D.C.

A juvenile has been charged with felony murder in the shooting death of his father. The dead man is identified as Michael P. Riley, 48, of Franklin Furnace, Ohio.
Scioto County Sheriff Marty V. Donini said his office is currently investigating a fatal shooting which occurred around 3:56 p.m. Sunday at a residence located at 678 Disterdick Road, in Franklin Furnace. Donini said his office received a 911 call from a residence on Junior Road in Franklin Furnace. He said the caller stated that a juvenile male showed up at his house stating that he had shot his father. Deputies, along with EMS, responded to 678 Disterdick Road, where they located a deceased male, later identified Riley. Riley had suffered from an apparent gunshot wound.
Detectives responded to the location to process the scene, the juvenile male was detained from the residence on Junior Road and transported to the Scioto County Sheriff's Office for further investigation.
After a preliminary investigation, detectives arrested a 14-year-old male, identified as the son of the victim. After consulting with the Scioto County Prosecutor's Office the juvenile male has been charged with one count of murder, a felony of the first degree and is being held in the Juvenile Detention Center located in Ross county.
"The kid told us he had just been pushed to the point with the verbal abuse and he had just had enough," Scioto County Sheriff's Captain David Hall told the Daily Times. "It's sad because he's a nice looking young man."
The decision as to whether to try the juvenile as an adult or not will most likely be made by Scioto County Prosecutor Mark Kuhn along with Scioto County Juvenile Judge James Kirsch.
Donini said more charges could be presented at a later time.
Donini said it is an ongoing investigation and anybody with information should contact Detective Jodi Conkel at 740-351-1091.

In response to various environmental concerns and the State of California Waste Management Act (AB 939), the City is committed to reduce the amount of waste sent to the landfills.
The City does have a recycling program! At this time, the City does not have a "curbside" recycling program - where separate bins for recyclables are used. However, the City has chosen to implement a program known as "murfing", which involves processing of the waste stream at a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) after being picked up by our refuse company, MG Disposal.
At the MRF, items which are placed in the trash and which can be recycled are placed on a conveyer belt, and a processing company (CVT Recycling) makes sure all recyclable materials are taken out before the trash is sent to the landfills. This process may sound strange, however, the City feels that sorting the trash this way makes sure that recyclable materials are retrieved and not taken to the landfills along with the regular trash.
There are some guidelines that residents and businesses should follow in order to assist the MRF in retrieving recyclable items from the waste stream. Following these guidelines will ensure better effectiveness in the sorting process at the MRF.
The following recyclable items should be placed in your refuse container as follows:
Newspaper: place in an open bagMixed paper/cardboard: place in an open bag or just loose in your refuse containerGlass: remove or rinse containers of food and liquid wasteAluminum: must be empty, do not have to be crushedPlastics: remove or rinse all containers of food or liquid waste
The following items are NON-RECYLABLE and should be bagged tightly before being placed in your refuse container:
On January 24, 2000, a Green Waste Collection Program was initiated for single and multi-family homes with curbside collection service. Residents were sent an informational brochure ("Recycle Fullerton") that detailed the instructions of the program, including what was considered 'acceptable' and 'unacceptable' green waste. Regular weekly trash collection days are not altered in each neighborhood, however, a separate truck which collects only green waste comes before the regular trash truck.
The program uses "yellow stickers" which are to be placed on regular trash barrels, or other designated containers, to identify them as containing green waste. Plastic trash bags are not acceptable for this program, as plastic is not an acceptable material that can be introduced into the composting process and workers are not able to determine if disposed green waste is on the list of 'acceptable' items.
Additional yellow "Yard Waste Only" stickers and Recycle Fullerton brochures detailing the City's recycling program are available through MG Disposal or City Hall. Contact MG Disposal's Customer Service line at 238-3300 or the Planning/Environmental Programs office at 738-6884 for additional information.
Contact the Planning/Environmental Programs office at 738-6884 for additional information.
Household Hazardous Waste (pesticides, paints, cleaners, etc.):

OXFORD, Ohio - The Miami University field hockey team won a share of the Mid-American Conference Championship with a 3-1 victory over Ohio on Saturday. It is the second time in the last three seasons that the RedHawks have earned a share of the MAC title. Miami improves to 10-9 overall and finishes 4-1 in the MAC. The Bobcats are 8-8 overall and 2-3 in the MAC.
"Today took a collective effort," said senior Addie Absher. "We had prepared and done all the the little things to ensure we were ready for today's match. We had to bring our 'A' game and that's exactly what we did."
The RedHawks will be the number one seed in the upcoming MAC Tournament that they will host next weekend in Oxford, Ohio. On Friday, Nov. 2, Miami will have a rematch with fourth seed Ohio in the first semifinal at noon. The second seed Kent State and third seed Central Michigan will face each other in the second semifinal at 2:30 p.m. The MAC Championship will take place on Saturday, Nov. 3 at 1 p.m. between the winners of the two semifinals. The winner of the MAC Tournament will travel to the winner of the Nor PAC Tournament on Tuesday, Nov. 6 for a play-in game to earn an automatic spot in the NCAA Tournament.
Ohio had the majority of the offensive opportunities during the first 10 minutes of the game. In the 10th minute, the Bobcats were able to earn a penalty corner. On the play, Laura Mastro would take a pass from Cathryn Altdoerffer and plug it in to put OU up, 1-0. A couple of minutes later, Miami would get a penalty corner attempt. Olivia Miller and Ali Froede each got off shots, but Brittany Walker made a pair of saves.
In the 23rd minute, the RedHawks received another penalty corner attempt. This time Leni Gross found Ali Froede in front of the net. She did not miss as Miami would tie the score going into halftime. The Bobcats had a 7-5 advantage in shots in the first half, while the RedHawks had a 4-2 advantage in penalty corners.
Miami came out as the offensive aggressors in the second half. While Walker made a pair of saves early, Miller would give the RedHawks the lead when she scored on a pass from Bea Dechant in the 48th minute. Looking to equalize the score, Ohio had to become more aggressive offensively. Miami would take advantage in the 62nd minute when Emily Gruesser stole the ball. She found Valentina Neira for a breakaway. Neira would beat Walker to secure the 3-1 victory and the MAC Title for the Red and White.
"We trusted in the process and each other," said head coach Iñako Puzo. "The team showed a lot of character in coming back from a goal down to score three unanswered to win. The team is playing cohesive hockey at a great time."
Miami finished with a 12-9 advantage in shots. It also had a 6-2 advantage in penalty corners. Gruesser led the 'Hawks with four shots, while Sarah Mueller made three saves in goal.
In addition to hosting the MAC Tournament this season, by earning the number one seed in this year's tournament the RedHawks have earned the right to host the 2013 version of the event. Check back with MURedHawks.com and MAC-Sports.com later this week for a full preview of the 2012 MAC Tournament.

Gallery: How To: 6 Steps To an Easy and Delicious Summer Fruit Pie
Baking a galette is really easy and is a great way to experiment with the fantastic fruit currently bursting in color and flavor this summer.
Step One: Make the Pie Dough
You can use just about any recipe, but I use a modified version found in Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone.
2 cups organic flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
8 tablespoons cold unsalted organic butter (if you are vegan, try using Earth Balance spread or olive oil)
1 tablespoon maple syrup (you can use agave syrup or honey; if you are a traditionalist, use organic sugar)
1/3 to 1/2 cup ice cold water
Mix the dry ingredients. Using a pastry knife, fold the butter into the mixture, leaving pea sized butter cuts. Add the syrup and slowly add the water, kneading until the dough is no longer sticky. Shape it into a ball and let it rest in your refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Two Havelock teenagers were arrested and charged with multiple counts of felony breaking and entering, and larceny on Wednesday night.
Arrested were Brian Paul Jones, 19, and George Joseph Yulee, 18, according to a release from the Havelock Police Department. Both are being held in the Craven County Jail under $100,000 bonds.
Jones is charged with one count of felony conspiracy, eight counts of felony larceny, and nine counts of felony breaking and entering. Yulee is charged with one count of felony conspiracy, three counts of felony larceny, and three counts of felony breaking and entering.
According to the release, Havelock police had been investigating multiple residential break-ins over the past two months but were able to use information provided by the public in the arrests of Jones and Yulee.
The break-ins happened during daylight hours in several locations throughout the city, said Lt. Brian Woods of the Havelock Police Department.
"Sometimes they were on foot and sometimes there were in a vehicle," Woods said.
Locations where the break-ins occurred include Pinto Court, Lake Road, Mustang Court, John Court, Mare Court, Shepard Street, Garrett Lane and Rams Road.
"They were after electronics, jewelry and money," Woods said.
Both men were arrested at their residences on Wednesday night.
Jones was found in possession of stolen property including jewelry, a
"We've identified the victims with the stuff that we've recovered at this point," Woods said.
Woods said that either the victims had their serial numbers or that information on the individual device led police to the rightful owners.
"Their record-keeping was good," Wood said.
Woods said that the investigation is still ongoing and police anticipate more charges to be filed.
"We've made good progress in these break-ins," Woods said. "We've solved probably 11 breaking and entering cases at this point."
According to the N.C. Department of Corrections, Yulee was given a suspended sentence in 2010 for disorderly conduct and possession of marijuana. No record could be found for Jones in North Carolina, but he is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 10 on charges of misdemeanor larceny and assault with a deadly weapon.
Police are still encouraging residents to secure their homes and keep valuables out of sight. They also say owners should maintain good records of serial numbers for valuable items that could help in recovery if the items are stolen.
Anyone with information on these crimes can call the Havelock Police Department at 447-3212 or the confidential tip line at 463-7115 or go online to www.havelocknc.us and select police and tip line to leave a confidential message.

Festival of Trees provides cheer throughout year
Charity's festival opens with music, crafts and 17 opulent Christmas trees
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Beth Dickinson places one of the more than 500 candy canes on a holiday tree at the Edward D. Hansen Conference Center Monday in Everett. "Candy Cane Delight" was designed by Dickinson's husband, Bill, who has participated in the annual Festival of Trees for 13 years.
Handmade stained glass poinsettias fill a tree that will be on display at Providence hospital after the Festival of Trees event.

Frank Arcuri decorates his tree at the Edward D. Hansen Conference Center Monday morning in Everett. The tree, named "Teddy Bear Picnic," is one of 17 at the Festival of Trees.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Patty DeGroodt puts the finishing touches on the tree she designed at the Edward D. Hansen Conference Center for the Festival of Trees on Monday morning in Everett. The tree features stained glass poinsettias and will be inside the Emergency Department at Providence after the Festival of Trees event.
The free community open house, part of Festival of Trees, is scheduled from noon until 8 p.m. Wednesday at Comcast Arena.
There will be musical performances all day, crafts for the kids, a chance for children to have their pictures taken with Santa and a room full of 17 elegantly decorated Christmas trees, displaying the work of 74 volunteer designers and decorators.
More than 3,000 children and adults attended the open house last year.
"I think the community open house is the one day that people can really come in and participate in Festival of Trees and kick off the holiday season," said Tina Gilson, director of annual giving for Providence General Foundation.
"We coordinate with outside community groups, like schools and choirs, to have live entertainment during the day," she said. "People love that. It fills the room with holiday spirit."
Frontier Communications will donate $1 to the Providence General Foundation for every person who attends Wednesday's open house.
The Festival of Trees is part of week-long effort to raise money for Providence Children's Services, which is funded in part by the foundation. The nonprofit helps fund programs at the Children's Center. Services provided include physical therapy, occupational therapy and assessment for high risk infants. More than 350 children and their families receive services each week at the center, which is in Everett.
Other Festival of Trees events this week include a dinner and auction on Thursday evening. Last year, about $650,000 was raised through donations, the live auction and related events. The trees on display at Wednesday's open house are among the items auctioned at the dinner.
The Festival of Trees has raised more than $6 million for Providence Children's Services since its inception.
Money raised during Festival of Trees events also helps pay for Camp Prov, a weeklong summer day camp for children, who, because of their medical conditions or developmental delays are not able to attend other summer camps, Gilson said.
"It's the first big holiday event here in town," Gilson said. "People can come and stay for an hour and enjoy the entertainment or pop in and get decorating ideas for their home.
"It's a neat holiday feeling when you walk into the room," Gilson said. "It gets you in the spirit."

Okay guys. So the N8 is out in most places.
I am waiting for Australia to get it, so I don't have mine yet, but from all the reviews i've seen (countless) there are a few things that I already know I would like them to implement in future firmwares.
1) Portrait QWERTY for text input. Includes SMS/MMS messaging aswell as general text entry.
2) Improve the responsiveness when swiping through home screens. It should be instant, without the 1 second lag.
3) Improve the responsiveness of the pinch-zoom on the photo viewer.
4) Better integration with social networks, including the ability to upload photos and videos directly from the phone, without the added need of an ovi application.
5) Better more fluent web browser, instead of the outdated clunky one currently being used.
6) More fluent ovi maps touch navigation
7) S^4 will be released in the near future, I would like the ability to upgrade the OS to S^4.
Thats what I think so far, I think these features are a must have, If nokia were to implement #7 then they could add years to the longevity of the N8. I will add more in the future, you guys add what you think too.
Where can we actually submit requests for FW updates?
10-10-2010 16:22
hi broo:
all point u said up still has problem with N8..... still long way to go for nokia to make perfect N8.
i have the phone for 2 week and format it like 3 time ..... example touch is like 5800 no different.
10-10-2010 16:30 - edited 10-10-2010 16:34
Hey nokia, if you want to compete with current gen Smartphones, then use current gen technology.
Having current or next gen hardware for features is good, but you should also focus on upgrading the hardware used for basic phone functions, like your touchscreen chip, which is outdated.
We need some serious OS upgrades over the next year for this phone. If you are serious about N8 being your flagship model, then support it as so.
10-10-2010 16:43 - edited 10-10-2010 16:44
Okay, so i just seen this thread...
We can still have both? Maybe it would get the points across more easily when they read these threads =D
15-10-2010 14:07
Actually, I would not trouble the delay with swiping the home screens. It is an intentional delay to ensure you're not actually trying to move widgets, so I would not worry much about it.
This is probably the most comprehensive and fair review I have seen on the N8 so far, and it makes mention of this feature. http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n8-review-523.php
I think if Nokia really want to get into the smartphone game, it needs to realize that software interfaces are key to its success, and regardless of how good Symbian is at being functional, it is user-friendliness, simplicity and even appearance that is driving the advance of the platforms it is trying desperately to catch up to. Nokia lovers may be satisfied, but the key is to convince potential new owners to give Nokia a look, and to keep the loyalty of its followers. Symbian 4 seems like it might need more to compete, but from what is promised, this might be just what Nokia needs, and as for the N8, I think the best news that Nokia could ever deliver to N8 buyers is that it would support Symbian 4 in the same way iPhone users can update their OS.
So I would hope for the following in intermediate S3 updates on the N8...
• Improved text input and spelling correction/text prediction
• Option to use (and set as default) QWERTY keyboard in portrait mode
• Improved camera function interface through side panel options
• Better web browser (with improved zoom and font sizing functions - though this may be coming I hear)
• (and this is simply wishful) Potential for S4 update, which would keep this "flagship" relevant and likely secure the loyalty and support of all Nokia lovers.

I miss the contact front "widget" that was on the 5800XM. There you have the SMS conversation and calls log directly by clicking the picture of my favorites.
N8 has adopted this from the N97 = a more simple front contact widget.
This is much better on 5800XM and X6.
( I miss this on my N97 and now on my new N8....)
As a social phone like N8 should have these features.
18-10-2010 2:22 - edited 18-10-2010 2:26
I agree i am macintosh user in general. However PC are coming back these days and such i loved my Nokias of the past. Therefore dropping my 16GB 3G is big step. I am willing this phone to work. Some how, I think i will be returning it....
Nokia should be looking at this situation with kid gloves telling us so far nothing on the potential updates. Apple would be scared witless about this. I think Nokia are keeping tight lipped as they know that this phone's processer wont be enough to port the new Symbian OS 4. I can only presume this as there is no information, on the contrary a few hints of worries about the application changes that will occur for the negatve.
Cons: to sticking with my N8.
Txt msg will fill up phones memory - my girlfriend and I txt each other alot.
camera button is used for making orange light, that is all.
Very few apps whats that about- hardly any utilites.
Delivered with no instructions.
Ovi store being a bit tempremental in that downloads can error (which is acceptable). However will not clear the failed download so will sit there for ever until this bug is sorted. However downloads can run consecutively which makes it better than the app store.
Nokiadirect stinks. Plainly act nieve about the contracts they issue with there phones.
Number apps and utilities -which I prefer. Generally have no idea about what decent companies, are going to turn up with a remote control app to control my macs/pc. VNC client.
Initial themes are little gash however a random over the air update gave me a decent one.
Symbians filling structure. It needs an advance and simple setting. It so easy to install applications into whatever directory i want. I want this to be taken care of by the OS, i want privillages to be availble for me to change/view this longterm.
Not sure if it my end but WIFI likes to reconnect alot, I cant deceide if its me/router settings or the phone someone else can answer this.
Home screen -organisation is long even a lil tedious. Icons on some themes are awful.
Havent been out in the car with GPS yet but looking at the maps feature - i dont think my road is on it eek (this could change tho). Again will tomtom make itself available who knows.
Honestly looking at it there is really good intriguing potential in this phone. Which I think is just going to be carried to your next model and not used for this one.
8 days left till i return, Nokia please update us on your plans !!!

Hi There
Some litlle issues i would like to have in future SW-versions
The shortcut-widged should have a delete option. by now only a replacement of choosen shortcuts is possible, no chance of getting a blank widget if it was ever used before
The favourite contacts widged should be a new one on each homescreen, so i can use one for private and one for business-contacs for example.
position finding time has to be increased, Same issue I had with my N95 8GB, which was fixed with a SW-update.
voice guidiance seems to be not loud enough, due to the speakers spread out to the backside of the device.
The built in browser is a joke, please rework this !
I don´t like to use additional programs like opera mobile for such an essential part for a smartphone-SW
Symbian-4 capability
is an essential step of staying with Nokia in the future!
We knew about the N8-00 to be one of the last S3 Devices.
more to come.
I hope the Nokia guys read that stuff and make some issues about customer-feedback
20-10-2010 19:03
I would like to see a feature that was in the E72 which appears to be absent in the N8. When creating a calendar entry on the E72, for the location you could select a contact and it would use the address listed for that contact. That appears to be missing from the N8, you can select a location on a map or copy it from the contact, but why look the contact up, copy the address and then paste that into the location? Being able to select the contact would be much easier.
Also the email program at times doesn't load images. If you close the email program and open it, then it starts to display them again. When it starts to fail to load images, it appears that it doesn't even try to load them as there is no lag from when the email is opened to the missing images. When a mail sync is occurring it can also trigger this issue. This happens on 3G and WLAN and it is not the network connection.

I would like to see a better alarm with more options, like the ability to save an alarm and activate it or deactivate when you choose. I would also like to see bigger fonts even on large the font size is too small I could have bigger fonts on my samsung tocco and that has a smaller screen.
26-10-2010 16:04
26-10-2010 16:10
I would appreciate it if they improve the camera's UI and make it able to record video at 720p at 30fps, or if they can do 1080p why not? It is a 12 megapixel camera after all. Then maybe they can unlock some more speed from the processor, at least 800MHz would be nice. The phone may be fast when it is new and still has nothing in it but after a year or so when it is already loaded with data, we'll see if it will still be as fast as it was on day one. Then there's the improving of the touch UI and tune the system to save more power since they were so hard-headed as to make the battery non-user-replaceable. Hmm... and maybe they should include a Torx screwdriver in the N8 retail box.
