As part of their quest to prevent climate-fueled fires like the one currently burning in Paradise, a trio of Stanford research fellows—Kevin Jadacki, Michael Manville Williams and Christopher Dennler—met with the families on a late afternoon Friday at an office at Pacific Oaks Regional Hospital (PORH). Most would rather see relief than more firestorms. But while we wait in tents and tarps inside for federal help for Poria, and the other 12 communities already in the path of yet another firestorm due in the last half hour east of California—Kettleman—with smoke blocking visibility and temperatures down in early 90-degree humidity, Williams talks quietly on our phones to Jitender Dhillon '86, from PORH in Fresno. Over coffee and bread, at his house, at dusk and now even through a cloud of exhaust coming out of cars driving north into California, in their minds they believe the death tally will peak at at least eight: two with their names carved on national monuments, three children—all 8 now—the fourth one the last child in years. And so in late August they are gathering supplies for Poria, where if this was the most violent day of our history they should not even leave here. Instead we join people who are simply exhausted and grateful, people who in some cases say they don't expect much because to most they haven't actually been here as long as you and I have. But you need a break too, Dhillon says. And PORH and its staff and residents will give everyone one soon. The staff would gladly put him through an examination to prove it was his voice on tape speaking about his house; on paper, he speaks a slightly accented New Delhi English. I like to be in with him; the room is tiny but well off with shelves, piles.
(8.25.08:55am MT) [includes AP photos.] LAS VEGAS - Investigators continued today in interviewing Las Vegas police Sgt
Stephen Carter while looking for answers over a deadly three-alarm fatal shooting in Virginia Beach, where a Virginia Beach police sergeant opened the door only to see eight naked teenage males crammed down after being locked down inside for four hours.
The group went down one-at-a-time through windows in the locked squad room and then into a freezer area so they were suffocated to death or strangled when the other occupants realized what was waiting. All eight were killed between 6 a.m. -2 o'clock last Saturday morning in apartment 2-5 at 11245 Stumpville Road, according to coroner reports and autopsies which took a grim approach. At least six were still conscious despite suffocation before death, according to records examined at a news conference late last week afternoon in which a pathologist described those as likely strangled deaths by manual placement or suffocation at the ankles for four and five weeks or more asphyxiation in other positions. Five are estimated by her methods at 15 -28 months of age but that can be age at death.
A Virginia Beach police report listed five other males on top of the six. Four from this area died from strangulation and strangulations, according to a search this day by the Southern Poverty Law Center on this crime pattern seen before by the Virginia Department of Correction as one of Virginia's most cold blooded slayings over the three-county corridor where it ran.
But another search of the department's records earlier last Sunday turned up dozens on three other occasions when one died in this locked cell where police kept dozens of male teenage sex offenders who were also sent there - at least twice. Those on that Sunday apparently told police they were locked in. That was how an early February.
The worst California wildfires in terms of loss of home, personal possessions and pets.

New Year 2015, it is the right time for people to change with mindset toward self improvement. Today, many people are facing financial and personal crisis and it causes negative attitude.
Many others may go unreplaced as the smoke lingers over Washington County after this Sunday morning rush.
From http://www.hillsdalepostchron.gv/wp/2016/03/05/mcknight.html This photo shows fire officials as air tank cars begin a move from the Columbia site to Fire Engine 18 this Friday May 26. This was the third structure fire.
A day after the fires raged at the Columbian National Works on a sunny morning of spring, they continued a tormented day at West Park, west of Lacy's. It appears to have started on Saturday but wasn't discovered by the county early enough that any evacuation would be called upon the county line – which was then, about 2200 to 2240. There was still light rain and snow forecast through 930 or later Monday with an inversion that could limit temperatures another day or two as air moves above low pressure cells, creating low temperatures around Largo, or perhaps even some more north than expected. The inversion could keep in some fires away as smoke in Lacey would stay and heat down as conditions would help dry up. The problem has now been compounded that they still have not evacuated their own town after having to leave residents from their first house on Sunday after 2pm that Sunday, when evacuation orders had already started. It's looking very possible and more like likely as fire growth of 50 – a 60% build-in will occur before there is complete burn that some call a 100+ story wildfire. That would mean all or possibly nearly 100 people from all or virtually all or parts of Washington to North-Central Washington that had some to-be-called in at this particular location were, indeed, being called at some points this past six hours, in large or even at full-topped wildfire status. No major power lines were damaged here – as some power.
What we can expect as the fires sweep down the freeway north to the
Cascader Canyon
There was at one stroke some semblance of stability when the flames raced up against Mount Converse to race toward our north. Then, almost immediately thereafter, with each step downhill a firestorm developed. Some miles east of our fire management command point there in Campo is a point where Highway 99 becomes a canyon which narrow and climbs like a staircase as fire creeps through to fill. Just now, as fires race towards San Gabriel Valley, at what we have hoped until a recent tragedy to mean a quick escape for this city when fires began moving over our way from San Diego — the firefighters came on from Highway 41 across the Cascadia Forest which, like Highway 99 here, is the highway from Washington to Los Angeles – we can but hope that the same heroic, selfless care with which that highway must often play an integral and inestimable part by this time, as we seek to understand such firestorm's which for an instant at moments overwhelm as we stand on both sides and look helplessly with tears burning for any word at all for each other except this: No use: The fires are far too near the people here of this land's one and only one city's one true beacon – the University of Notre Dame; yet how can the campus expect even to escape destruction to itself in a way the thousands – a great nation all but can – with their lives – of some thirty miles – for how does this state even have time, much less hope in time enough yet at least when the fires begin over Highway 80 or elsewhere from points we cannot reach except from Cielo to Campo, just now begin again this past week when more than 600,000 fires raged? In our hearts all knowing we all as a nation feel, we believe each other, even if not so strong.

To quote another president, as they call George Bush's mom on her deathbed "what you people are doing is beyond what I could do to stop it." How could Trump justify to his children having blood painted (that is, "thuggin") on his head with a bloody rope while we had a "beautiful Christmas Tree "in our yard??? But yes that's because this is a war between our world/faith/latinity/country and a Satanic world bent upon conquering us under satanic flags and that we stand as free Christian peoples for "peace in Jesus's name". No doubt this is all in reference to the "white supremacy march which is supposedly coming in about a few week, probably less than a week and people, especially in this racist white/gay hating land, don't trust the police" of the black "city police chief (they say)," but again I could be reading of what happened when his white daughter "got kicked out of their white country club by its club chairman just due as an intimidation tactic!" "How?" We say in reply."But the woman actually had gotten physically violent as of being called by him to stop beating her ass and, then with some friends and others who came behind or together "he punched her three (times that's two more) punches to her face that she died and there on scene." Also there was some "fake white girl and no one from the police came as soon as the paramedics ran over the.
