Video: The spat about spatting in college football
"Spatting" is a growing issue in college sports, causing tension among shoe companies, universities and their athletes. Used as a term describing the practice of taping a player's ankle and shoe together to provide extra support, spatting has led to controversy in particular in college football. When medical tape goes over an athlete's shoes, brand logos end up being covered and, as shoe companies see it, sponsorship dollars are wasted. Companies such as Nike, Adidas and Under Armour have taken note of this in their contracts with colleges and have put in clauses to limit the number of taped-up ankles among players that take the field.
While some of this could be resolved with alternative advertising strategies, more fundamental questions are being raised. Athletes' decisions to follow a recommended medical procedure can be at odds with commercial contracts that don't involve financial compensation for the players, but do for their schools.
USA TODAY gave a detailed description of the situation, examining aspects from health risks and personal rights issues to legal plights and financial concerns. Watch this animated video explainer to learn more about the spat over spatting.

Galactic Celebrates The World's Biggest Party On 'Carnivale Electricos,' Out Feb 21
Call it Mardi Gras, or call it Carnivale. Galactic captures the modern vibrancy of this annual bacchanal - and blazes a trail to its future - on Carnivale Electricos, the group's most ambitious release to date, set for release on Mardi Gras Day, Feb 21, via Anti- Records. Over the course of thirteen tracks, Galactic explores the connections between the Mardi Gras in their native New Orleans and the mighty megacarnivals of Brazil, whisking listeners between neighborhoods and cultures on a parade of genres from blistering rock, hip hop and r&b, to samba, zydeco, jazz and of course, funk.
NOLA guests on the record span several generations and styles from Neville brothers Cyril and Ivan, to rappers Mannie Fresh and Mystikal (making one of his first recordings since being released from prison); from Big Chief Juan Pardo, one of the youngest Mardi Gras Indians, to the KIPP Renaissance High School Band, one of the city's most riotous marching bands.
Brazilian influences on the album are similarly diverse including a cover of the Sergio Mendes Carnivale classic "Magalenha" and Galactic's new composition, "Guero Bounce," which pairs Brazilian rhythms with a New Orleans Bounce beat. "Julou," named for the band's own off-the-grid Mardi Gras parade, is inspired by another popular Carnivale melody, while " O Côco da Galinha" features rising Rio samba star Moyseis Marques.
Galactic will tour the US extensively this winter and spring, headlining some of its largest venues to date, including a stop at NYC's Terminal 5 on Feb 25 for a show that will feature special guests Steel Pulse. Corey Glover (Living Colour) and Corey Henry (Rebirth Brass Band) will join the group as special guest vocalists, while openers on the tour will include Orgone and the Soul Rebels. See below for complete dates.
Following the breakout critical success of their previous two albums From The Corner To The Block (2007), and Ya-Ka-May (2010), Carnivale Electricos represents an unparalleled cross-section of contemporary carnival music that required Galactic to draw on all the skills, stamina, and funk they deploy at their annual all-night Lundi Gras concerts, which like the band itself have become a NOLA institution. In the nearly two decades since the band began, they've performed or recorded with everyone from BB King and Jeff Beck to Jurassic 5 and The Roots, playing every major US festival along the way including Coachella, Austin City Limits, Outside Lands, Bonnaroo, and of course JazzFest.
Galactic is: Ben Ellman: harps and horns Robert Mercurio: bass Stanton Moore: drums and percussion Jeff Raines: guitar Rich Vogel: keyboards

ROCKFORD — A 47-year-old man was pulled today from a retaining wall along the Rock River after he jumped from the State Street bridge.
Rockford police briefly closed the bridge about 8 a.m. during the incident. Police said the man jumped as officers approached him.
After jumping, the man swam to the west side of the river where he clung to the wall before being pulled out by rescuers, which included a Rockford Fire Department water rescue team.
Police said the man told rescuers he jumped because he was distraught over a drug addiction.
He was hospitalized for mental evaluation.

Butternut Squash Soup
To me, this Butternut Squash Soup says Autumn is here. On a crisp, chilly Fall day, coming home and curling up with a bowl of this soup is as comforting as it gets. Once you get a mouthful of how rich, creamy, and velvety smooth the texture is, you're never going to believe that a cup is only 155 calories, or only 4 Weight Watchers SmartPoints on myWW Green, Blue or Purple. This Butternut Squash Soup is also great to serve company. I recall my mom serving both this and White Chicken Chili along with crusty bread and a big vinaigrette-tossed salad with dried cranberries, nuts and blue cheese to guests for a "soup and salad" dinner and it was a huge hit.
I've heard that some people have issues peeling/cutting butternut squash. To make it easier, you can poke a few holes and microwave the squash for 2-4 minutes before you cut and peel it to soften it up a bit. If you need more help, here's a great tutorial!
Butternut Squash Soup
Yield: 6 (1 cup) servings
- 4 tablespoons light butter (I use Land O'Lakes)
- 6 tablespoons chopped onion
- 6 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- ½ teaspoon dried marjoram
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese
- Pumpkin pie spice, sprinkled to taste (optional)
- Optional topping: I tossed a few croutons on top of my soup just to give a little layering for the photos. The soup delicious with or without them! They are not included in the nutrition calculations at the bottom, but if you'd like to add them in you can just use the nutrition information on the package.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat and add the onions. Saute onions for a few minutes until tender. Add the squash, broth, marjoram, pepper and cayenne and stir together. Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer and simmer covered for 20 minutes or until the squash is tender.
- When soup is done cooking, add the cream cheese and puree the soup completely, either by using an immersion blender directly in the pot or by pouring the soup in batches into a normal blender, until smooth. Sprinkle a bit of Pumpkin Pie Spice on each serving.

ROSE, JON: The Music of Place.
76pp paperback flat bound book. Small edition published in Australia, of which we were able to obtain a handful of copies. From the Platform Papers series, the closest we get in these dire times to an intellectual cultural platform. An important essay about the place of music in a culture that has ceased to care. Not pulling a lot punches and calling a spade a bloody shovel, Jon tells us what we need to know even if we can�t be bothered to listen. It�s a short (76pp), stimulating and unacademic read that in another time and place would cause a fluttering in the dovecotes and some serious debate, written by someone who still gives a damn, and has practical suggestions to make. Essential reading.
Code: THEMUSIC OF PLACE

All fonts in the Adobe Type Library can be embedded in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files, as well as other types of electronic documents. Many can also be modified for internal use. To view a list of the specific permissions for all fonts in the Adobe Type Library refer to the Additional Licence Rights page.
Digital Publishing Suite/Font Embedding
Licensed users of the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite enjoy extended embedding rights for a select portion of the Adobe Type Library. If you have directly licensed from Adobe any of the 800+ Adobe fonts listed on the Additional Licence Rights page that are identified as "available for licensed DPS users", then you may embed copies of the font software into your DPS content without any additional licence extensions or per-use costs. These extended embedding rights are limited to distribution of such embedded fonts solely as part of your content distributed in Adobe's proprietary file format for DPS (".folio file") that is made available to end-users for viewing purposes only as part of the Customer Viewer.
Font Embedding
OpenType® fonts contain information in the actual font file that reinforces what is specified in the Adobe end-user licence agreement (EULA) and governs how these fonts may be embedded in electronic documents. According to the OpenType specification, four possible permission settings can be included in an OpenType font (from most restrictive to least restrictive).
No Embedding
This permission signals that the font or any portion of the font may not be embedded in any electronic document.While there are no fonts in the Adobe Type Library with this permission, some third-party font foundries may set their fonts to "no embedding" or prohibit embedding through their end-user licence agreement.
Preview & Print
A font with an embedding permission of Preview & Print allows the font, either fully or as a subset, to be embedded in an electronic document solely for the purpose of viewing that document on screen and/or printing that document. While a font with a Preview & Print embedding permission (either through data in the font file or the font's licence agreement) may be embedded in an electronic document, the embedded font may not be used to further edit the document it is contained in or to edit or create other documents. Most fonts in the Adobe Type Library are set for Preview & Print embedding.
Fonts with an editable embedding permission can be embedded in electronic documents and the embedded font can then be used by the recipient of the electronic document to view, print and further edit or modify the text and structure of the document in which it is embedded. These changes or edits can then be saved in the original document. Several fonts in the Adobe Type Library, including all Adobe Originals typefaces, other Adobe-owned typefaces and certain third-party font foundry typefaces, allow for editable embedding.
Fonts with an installable embedding permission may be embedded in electronic documents for viewing, printing and editing, with the added capability that they may be also be permanently installed on the computer that receives the electronic document containing the embedded font. This allows the font to be used to create and author new documents. It is intended that the recipient of a font set to installable embedding obtains all of the same rights as the person who originally licensed the font.
Please note that different font creators or third-party foundries may grant different embedding permissions, either in the font or through their end-user licence agreement, even though Adobe Acrobat may be technically able to embed either the entire font or a subset of that font. To determine whether a given font can legally be embedded in a PDF document or other file, you should contact the licensor from whom you obtained your licence rights to use the font software. Click here for information on how to determine third-party font licensors.
Font Modification
Many, but not all, Adobe fonts in the Adobe Type Library can be modified with some restrictions. To view a list of the specific permissions for all fonts in the Adobe Type Library refer to the Additional Licence Rights page.

NPR First Listen Premieres New Lost In The Trees Record
Today, March 12th, NPR's First Listen Series will premiere the highly anticipated new LOST IN THE TREES album A Church That Fits Our Needs. The album will be in stores March 20th via Anti- Records.
This is the follow up to the North Carolina ensembles 2010 album All Alone In An Empty House which the Huffington Post called "spellbinding in its musical ambition, touching in its intimacy, and often overwhelming in its emotional honesty" and The LA Times described as "a collection of classically enhanced pop that's as fit for a chamber hall as it is a rock club."
The band's newest, A Church That Fits Our Needs, declared a "breakthrough album" by Billboard Magazine, is an ambitious work inspired by loss and transformation. In the summer of 2009, the group's writer, composer and singer, Ari Picker, lost his artist mother when she took her own life. Picker has transformed the event into an evocative and moving musical celebration. Far from being a somber affair, the classically trained composer has utilized rhythm as its own emotional language, never losing the propulsive vitality of great rock and roll.
To stream this exhilarating new record in its entirety, just go to href="http://www.npr.org/2012/03/11/147982033/first-listen-lost-in-the-trees-a-church-that-fits-our-needs?ps=mh_fl">NPR First Listen.
LOST IN THE TREES kicked off their international touring with a performance at the Jeff Mangum curated All Tomorrow's Parties UK on March 11th, followed by their March 12th NPR First Listen honorary celebration tonight in London, a run of high-profile shows at South By Southwest this week in Austin, Texas and then a full North American tour with Fleet Foxes members Christian Wargo's and Casey Wescott's project Poor Moon (Sub Pop) in tow.

Prader-Willi Syndrome
(Prader-Labhart-Willi Syndrome)
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is group of symptoms caused by a rare genetic problem. It can cause a variety of problems with growth and development.
PWS is caused by a random genetic defect. The defect is most often caused by a gene from the father.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk Factors
There are no known risk factors. About 1% may have a family history.
Some physical features common in people with PWS include:
- Almond-shaped eyelid openings
- Misalignment of the eyes
- Thin upper lip
- Downturned mouth
- Narrow forehead
- Small hands and feet
Other symptoms of PWS can change as the child ages.
As an infant, the child may have:
- Difficulty feeding
- Slow growth
- Inability to suck well
- A weak, squeaky cry
- Sleepiness
As a toddler, symptoms may include:
- Delay of normal development, such as language skills and walking
- Behavior problems, such as temper tantrums and stubbornness
- Short stature compared to family
- Increased appetite
As the child gets older, additional symptoms may include:
- Insatiable hunger
Continuing behavior problems, such as:
- Anger and inflexibility
- Difficulty with transitions
- Mood swings
- Obsessive-compulsive habits
- Learning disabilities
- Sleep problems
- Fatigue
- High threshold for pain
- Insensitivity to temperature extremes
PWS may be suspected based on your child's symptoms. Some symptoms are general. They may be associated with other types of illness. As a result, the diagnosis may not be made until early childhood.
A genetic test can help to confirm the diagnosis. This test is done with a sample of blood.
PWS will require lifetime treatment. It is managed by the caregivers of children with PWS. Key areas of treatment include:
Appetite and Weight Management
In the first year of life, children with PWS often have trouble eating enough food. Your doctor may recommend giving special formula through a tube. This will provide enough nutrition so your child can grow as expected. However, the appetite generally begins to grow out of control after the first year of life. Treatment then becomes focused on preventing obesity.
PWS affects the part of the brain that tells us that we are full. As a result, people with this syndrome will never feel full. Without this signal, anyone can easily eat too much food. In addition, people with PWS have a slow metabolism. Both of these factors can lead to excessive weight gain and obesity. This weight gain increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other serious health problems.
In this case, excess eating is not a will power problem. People with PWS cannot be trained to manage their appetite. Instead, caretakers need to limit access to food. Any exposure to food needs to be supervised. Regular exercise should also be encouraged. This can help manage the weight and decrease the risk of other obesity-related health problems.
Behavior Issue Management
Infants and young children are often happy and loving. Difficult behaviors tend to develop as children with PWS get older. Some steps that may help you manage these behaviors include:
- Daily structure and routine
- Firm rules
- Rewards for good behavior
- Psychotropic drugs may be necessary
Poor sleep can also affect a child's behavior. Your doctor may be able to recommend a plan to help your child sleep. People with PWS may also tire easily. Naps during the daytime may help.
Developmental issues may be treated in a variety of ways. Growth hormones can help with poor physical growth. Your child will also have a team of specialists to monitor development.
Early Intervention
Early intervention can help to address delays in physical skills, speech, and language. The program can also assist as your child moves through school.
Additional Support
Your child may also need specialist care for other symptoms associated with PWS. This may include an eye doctor, bone specialist, or dentist.
There are no current guidelines for preventing PWS. Some side effects may be preventable with treatment.

The No. 1 item kids want for Christmas isn�t an iPhone or tablet, it�s a laptop computer, according to a survey at eBates.com.
Laptops are swiftly followed by the latest iPhone as the No. 2 choice. We said �swiftly� because singer Taylor Swift is the No. 1 celebrity influencing the gift wish list for girls between 8 and 12.
Ebate.com, the source of this info, is a site we seldom think to go to, but it has discount coupons and free shipping. Another good one for discounts is FatWallet.com. They have a �Black Friday Deal Finder.� The name is somewhat misleading, because it isn�t limited to Black Friday, but lists deals all the way through December. These are announced on the site before they show up in stores.
Here�s something for the person who hates typing. It�s the LiveScribe Sky WiFi Smartpen, and it digitizes your handwriting, records the lecture you�re listening to and stores it all in the cloud.
The $170 list price is for the base model. If you want more than two gigabytes of storage, the next step up is as expensive as the new $200 Chromebook laptop from Acer. But it is definitely something different, and kind of a wow.
The pen comes with a special notepad that is sensitized to react to the pen tip. The pad also contains a camera and a microphone. Tap a button on that pad to turn on WiFi. Tap another button to connect to the Internet. Tap a third button to start recording a lecture. Later, tap a word you wrote � something you consider a key point in that lecture � and listen to what the lecturer was saying at that moment. All is stored online in a free Evernote account.
Everything depends on how patient you are during the learning phase. We watched a techie-type guy try it out in a video on Engadget.com, and he was clearly baffled a couple of times when the pen was slow to respond. However, there are over a million LiveScribe users, so one would guess most of them got the hang of it.
The price of the new version is high, but you can get last year�s model for half the price, if you don�t mind using a docking station to sync to the Web. See the whole thing at LiveScribe.com.
The Doxie One is a portable scanner that needs no computer. Push a button and your piece of paper is digitized and saved to an SD memory card. The device sells for $149, and it can also save the scan directly to the Web. The Doxie Go sells for $50 more and runs on a battery.
Load the software that comes with it directly into your computer. An app syncs your scanned documents with an iPad, Mac or PC and makes them searchable. That�s a key issue. Because normally, a scanned document is just an image of whatever you scanned and cannot be searched or edited.
What reads the document you scanned is a program called Abbyy Fine Reader, a Russian character recognition program we have tried several times over the past few years, and it is excellent. This comes included on the disk. Abbyy reads scanned documents and makes them searchable. (Oddly enough, if you were to buy the full version of Abbyy Fine Reader, it would cost $30 more than this scanner with its software.)
Getting people to pitch in and fund a new project is commonplace, but here�s something new: using crowd funding to develop a scientific breakthrough.
The Economist magazine recently listed three important sites. One is RocketHub.com, where a Florida anthropologist raised more than $12,000 to study the DNA of Roman skeletons. Another is PetriDish.org, which was used by the California Academy of Sciences to discover a new species of ant. On Microryza.com, scientists have raised more than $9,000 to fund a �worm-free world.� They mean those icky worms that enter your body, not the ones in your garden.
We don�t know if the new PBS-TV special �The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About Christmas� will rival the Peanuts Christmas special, but the PBS website has a free kids� game to tie in with the show.
It�s called �Freeze Your Knees, Follow Me Please,� and although the game action is basic, the Dr. Seuss drawings make it cute. There are seven other games on the site. Find them at PBSkids.org and click �Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About Christmas.�
October set a record for iPad trade-ins, according to SellCell.com, a site where you can trade in yours. People are trading in the third-generation iPad to get the iPad Mini or fourth-generation iPad. They typically get about $350 for the iPad 3, which sold for $699. The iPad 2, which brought in $371 before the Mini was announced, now typically goes for less than $200. Android tablets bring in even less. The only non-Apple items on the top 10 list of trade-ins are the BlackBerry Playbook, the Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Asus PadFone.

There are still big holes in today's revelations that the National Security Agency (NSA) is well on its way to bypassing key forms of Internet encryption, including Virtual Private Networks and the Secure Socket Layer and Transport Layer Security protocols. Today's stories in ProPublica, The New York Times, and The Guardian reveal that the NSA is making a massive, $250 million effort toward breaking encrypted Internet traffic—and with substantial success. But there's plenty we still don't know about exactly how the NSA does its work.
Bruce Schneier, the renowned cryptographer and security expert, spent the last two weeks working with The Guardian on its story, reading hundreds of top-secret NSA documents. That led him to publish two columns accompanying today's story: one advising security-minded readers on how to maintain some privacy in the era of bulk surveillance, and an op-ed that's something of a call to arms to the world engineering community.
"The US government has betrayed the Internet," wrote Schneier. "We need to take it back."
He goes on to call for whistleblowers who will help citizens understand what still isn't known even after the massive Snowden leaks. We need to know "how exactly the NSA and other agencies are subverting routers, switches, the Internet backbone, encryption technologies, and cloud systems," writes Schneier. "I already have five stories from people like you, and I've just started collecting. I want 50."
For engineers who don't have security clearances and haven't received a National Security Letter, obligations to an employer "don't cover illegal or unethical activity," Schneier notes. "If you work with classified data and are truly brave, expose what you know... There's safety in numbers, and this form of civil disobedience is the moral thing to do."
Schneier continues:
Generations from now, when people look back on these early decades of the Internet, I hope they will not be disappointed in us. We can ensure that they don't only if each of us makes this a priority and engages in the debate. We have a moral duty to do this, and we have no time to lose.
Dismantling the surveillance state won't be easy. Has any country that engaged in mass surveillance of its own citizens voluntarily given up that capability? Has any mass surveillance country avoided becoming totalitarian? Whatever happens, we're going to be breaking new ground.
Again, the politics of this is a bigger task than the engineering, but the engineering is critical. We need to demand that real technologists be involved in any key government decision-making on these issues. We've had enough of lawyers and politicians not fully understanding technology; we need technologists at the table when we build tech policy.
To the engineers, I say this: we built the Internet, and some of us have helped to subvert it. Now, those of us who love liberty have to fix it.
Similarly, anyone with relevant information wishing to contact Ars can reach out to senior business editor Cyrus Farivar, who is collecting leads for us. For those needing a secure channel, he has a PGP/GPG key posted publicly.

By the 1930s, the MBL had become "the" place to go during the summer for biological research and training. Luminaries such as Frank Lillie, Edmund Beecher Wilson, Edwin Grant Conklin, and Thomas Hunt Morgan took their students, packed up their families and research labs, and headed to the MBL. They worked in labs, ate together in the Mess, and they often lived in the limited on-campus housing. Life at the MBL was a life where fun, family, and science intertwined. This film, taken in 1935 by B. R. Coonfield of Brooklyn College, captures snippets of life at the MBL.Created: 1935

DOVER (AP) — The man charged with killing a University of New Hampshire student whose body still has not been found has given up his right to a hearing.
Thirty-year-old Seth Mazzaglia was scheduled to be in Dover District Court Monday for a probable cause hearing on second-degree murder charges.
Prosecutors say he suffocated or strangled 19-year-old Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott Oct. 9. Investigators continue to search for her body along the New Hampshire coastline.
Marriott of Westborough, Mass., was living with relatives in Chester and commuted to UNH.
She left a note for family members Oct. 9 saying she was visiting friends after her evening class but would be home by midnight.
Her cell phone was last used in Dover that night.

An excerpt from the book War in the Woods: Combating Marijuana Cartels on Our Public Lands.
by Lt. John Nores Jr. and James A. Swan
Nationwide, there are around 7,000 game wardens, or about as many of NYPD's finest as are assigned to cover the New Year's Eve celebration in Times Square.
Nowhere are game wardens abundant, but the situation is especially bad in California, and man and nature are paying a price.
California's game wardens are responsible for protecting more than 1,000 native fish and wildlife species, more than 6,000 native plant species, and approximately 360 endangered species, as well as criminal, civil and traffic law, plus search and rescue, hunter education and assisting wildlife biologists; yet, at any given time, today there are about 240 wardens on patrol in California, and that's nearly 50 wardens more than in 2007, when I began making a documentary about California's game warden crisis..
Three years ago, the http://www.californiafishandgamewardens.com/ California Fish and Game Wardens Association asked me to make a documentary about them. One consequence of the acute warden shortage is a $100 million a year black market in wildlife trafficking. A second consequence is that public wild lands are being taken over by international drug cartels to grow marijuana.
Riding along on a bust of a marijuana groves in Foothills Regional Park in Palo Alto with Lt. John Nores in 2008 was my initiation into a world of violence to man and the land that I had not expected. One garden with 10,000 plants was hidden in a thicket within 50 yards of busy Page Mill Road. The garden was ringed with chicken wire and rat poison. Fertilizer bags, many with Spanish labels containing chemicals not allowed here, were strewn everywhere. A spider web of black plastic irrigation pipes with drip timers was everywhere among a 6' tall bright green crop worth a cool million bucks. Luckily this garden did not have booby traps: pitfalls, trip lines attached to shotguns, and/or bear traps.
In April, cartel growers move into lands like this looking for locations with nearby water sources, and thick stands of bushes like manzanita. They cut out the understory plants and plant marijuana, leaving the overhead canopy to camouflage them from aerial detection. Hiking into grow locations sometimes several miles from a road, the growers carry heavy loads of propane tanks, plastic irrigation pipes, camping gear, food, garden supplies, and weapons.
As the plants begin to germinate, streams are dammed and miles of black plastic irrigation pipelines are laid out, connecting the lucrative crop with pools of water seasoned with fertilizers and pesticides to create a cocktail that makes the plants grow rapidly. Deer and bear that wander into the gardens become meals. The growers are kept supplied with food and water by carefully planned drops. Piles of cans and garbage begin to accumulate.
August through October, the harvest takes place. Two hunters were shot and killed by growers last year. Two hikers were killed in Oregon in 2008.
The first major cartel gardens were found in the Sierras in the late 1990's. This year the inter-agency marijuana eradication team, http://www.ag.ca.gov/bne/camp.php CAMP, took out over four-million plants throughout the state. Despite the best of efforts, the number of grows busted increases every year, as do shootings. Five growers were killed in eight shootouts this year.
Law enforcement says it can only get about 10 percent of what is being grown. Apparently increased border security has promoted increased growing on California soil.
In Mendocino County, epicenter of the "Green Triangle" where marijuana is legal according to local laws and generates at least half the local economy, the hippies have been chased out of the woods at gunpoint by cartel growers. Some private citizens up there are forming their own pot patrols.
In the spring of 2010, a grand jury in Mendocino County declared a "State of Emergency" about loss of control of wild lands. Another grand jury supported this cry citing the fact that a mature marijuana plant drinks in a gallon of water a day, and water supplies in the county are dwindling. The water-guzzling wild land grows are also decimating spawning streams for trout, salmon, and endangered steelhead and red-legged frogs; hurting farmers and medical marijuana growers; and contaminating drinking water.
We have lost control of the woods, and it's spreading. This summer warnings to hikers, fishermen and hunters to be on the lookout for gardens and growers were not only posted by the Forest Service and BLM in northern California, they were also issued for Great Lakes states and Appalachia, and of course the Southwest.
My baptism with Lt. Nores not only generated a lot of good footage for http://www.jamesswan.com/snowgoose/wardendoc.html "Endangered Species: CA Fish and Game Wardens," a 66-minute documentary narrated by Jameson Parker from the "Simon and Simon" series, but it led John and I to collaborate on a book, War In The Woods: Combating the Marijuana Cartels On Our Public Lands (Lyons Press) that hit the bookstores in 2010.
I provide the introduction and background. John tells it like it – eight stories of busts of marijuana grows. To give you a feel for what he does, there is an online trailer for the book at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZUnQUpAq1E
But the real meat and potatoes are his stories. Here's an excerpt from one in Chapter Four.
…Snake was just starting to get up and lead us after the two men when suddenly he and Ranger snapped their rifles up and into the upper edge of the garden. Without saying a word, Cheetah and I dropped back to the ground and slowly slipped our backpacks off. With our Glock pistols at the low ready, we knew a mope was somewhere ahead of us in the garden and close. Cheetah and I were on full alert as we watched and waited to see who was in range of being chased down and just a few seconds from being caught.
The grower had no idea we were on the trail ahead of him as he bounded between rows of waist-high marijuana plants. All four of us up front had turned to our right and were now kneeling down frozen and facing the mope head on. Snake and Ranger had their AR15's shouldered and were looking for weapons on the man as he approached our position, now just 25 yards away and closing. Dressed in blue jeans, a drab t-shirt and a baseball cap, the thin and wiry man continued toward us, still oblivious to the four operators waiting so close ahead.
Both Snake and Ranger were positioned below and out of our way on the edge of the trail. This allowed Cheetah and I a straight shot at our suspect if a foot chase started. At this rate, the mope was going to walk right into our team, still not identifying us in our camouflage.
I leaned slightly forward, placing the majority of my weight on my left foot in front of me while simultaneously planting my right foot behind me, preparing my body for the imminent sprint. Just a few feet ahead of me and true to his operator name, my partner was crouched and moving up and down slowly like the big predator cat getting ready to tackle his prey. He raised and bent his arms along the sides of his chest, and continued to spring up and down slowly, preparing for his sprint just seconds away. Shakes of excitement ripped through our bodies and minds as the mope closed the gap, now just 20 yards away.
When the man reached the 15-yard mark, Cheetah and I were half a second from breaking concealment and blasting forward to tackle him. Before doing so and barely in time to stop our pursuit, we heard Ranger whisper frantically, "He's got a long gun slung on his right shoulder!" This statement immediately changed the mindset of what would happen next. Cheetah and I raised our Glock pistols up on target towards the mope as we realized no chase or tackle was going to happen now. Not with a firearm on the suspect. Thank heaven for Ranger's attentive eyes and picking up the weapon on this man.
Within a second of Ranger's observation and with the gunman now "danger close" and only 10 yards away, Snake identified us and told the suspect, "Police, stop and put your hands up!" The man's reaction was surreal and unexpected. The mope stopped in his tracks. His eyes widened in shock for just a second before his expression turned vicious. The gunman's brow tightened, his eyes squinted, and the expression on his face turned from shock to anger and we could all see what was about to happen. Even with four guns trained on him, he was not going to back down.
Lasting only a few seconds, the felon's actions dictated our response. With that scowl on his face, the mope swung the shotgun toward our team and started to reach for it. Our hearts were pounding now with anger and shock and just half a second from pressing the triggers on our pistols, Cheetah and I heard a single, loud, high pitched crack ring out and echo deep in the canyon. The mope wailed out a long and loud, "Aigh!!" as a single .223 caliber, 64 grain power point bullet ripped through the center of his chest.
Dropping the shotgun immediately and gripping his chest frantically as if stung by a bee, the mope dropped to his knees before falling on his face and hitting the trail. Snake had engaged the gunman with a single shot, making a perfect center of mass hit to his sternum, to stop him from trying to kill the four of us. Engagement distance was just less than 10 yards. And the fight was not over.
On the ground now, the felon crawled towards the shotgun and grabbed it before trying to engage us with it again. Now we brought the fight to him. The cacophony of two AR15's firing simultaneously in rapid succession at close range was deafening, as Snake and Ranger engaged the felon on the ground. After multiple hits from both operators the gun-fire ceased and the gunman no longer moved. He was finished.
I was surprised when just seconds after the last AR15 rounds were fired, I saw the familiar sight of an M14 flash hider and barrel moving past the right side of my face as Marcos moved past me to fill in and add cover to the fight. Feeling his hand on my right shoulder as this happened and hearing him say, "On your six Trailblazer, and moving to you!" was comforting. Marcos had heard so much gunfire up front and thinking his team mates were in major trouble, he wasted no time moving up to get in the fight and help.
Realizing the gunman was being handled by Snake and Ranger, Cheetah and I directed our pistols further downhill and scanned deeper into the grow with Marcos doing the same with his M14. The two other growers witnessed earlier were still out there, ignored but not forgotten.
We looked up just in time to see both mopes running downhill and away like rabbits. They apparently wanted nothing to do with that action and were leaving their buddy to fend for himself.
The taller of the two growers towered well above the chest-high budded plants. And looking back in our direction as he ran, the mope appeared to be carrying a long gun over his left shoulder. The second man, much shorter than the first, was not looking at anything except the path in front of him, clearly just wanting to get out of the area quickly.
Once we were sure the gunman was not going to move again, Snake conducted a sit-rep (situation report) on the team, having everyone call out their names and indicate if they were "up" or not. "Up" means you are operational with no problems or injuries and good to go.
Immediately following the sit-rep, Snake radioed the QRF, already close and just a few yards behind us on the trail, to come up and cover. Wasting no time and knowing we had two more mopes on the run, Cheetah and I quickly told Snake what we had seen and what direction the mopes were headed. I told Snake we knew their direction of travel and could cover him to the east if he wanted to head downhill and cut their escape trail below while at the same time clearing that side of the garden. Snake agreed and before the three of us moved out, he directed a secondary team to work down through the western edge of the grow to check and clear that side of the garden. Ranger, Marcos, and Rails comprised that team and were already moving before Snake finished conveying his plan.
With a dead gunman in the middle of the garden, we now had a crime scene to deal with. Not only did we have to clear the immediate area of all threats, we also had to do so without disturbing anything critical to the impending shooting investigation…

When you write a book about a serious problem like this, you always hope that something will happen when people read it. The same is true for making a documentary.
"Endangered Species: California Fish and Game Wardens," premiered in January 2009, attracting the largest crowd on the biggest day of the International Sportsmen's Expo in Sacramento. Two weeks later the wardens gave copies to every member of the Assembly and Senate, as well as the Governor's Office, and key state administrators. The timing was very appropriate as the 2009 budget proposal called for cutting the warden force in half, as if having the worst per capita ratio of game wardens in the United States was not bad enough already.
Three weeks later the budget cut for game wardens was rejected. Several months later, legislation was passed to create a new $5 "Game Warden Stamp," which can be purchased online or at every location where hunting and fishing licenses are sold. Money from the stamp sales goes to support the education and training of game wardens.
The documentary has been shown in all kinds of venues around the state, and while I can't claim it's the only thing promoting the wardens, it does help.
There were 38 graduating cadets in last year's game warden academy. That's more than they've had in years. They are up to 240 wardens in the field, from 198. And, even in these cash-short times, the 2010-2011 budget for Fish and Game Wardens calls for adding six more wardens to the force.
In addition, early viewing of rough cuts of the documentary helped inspire a new reality series about California's game wardens that will premiere on the National Geographic Channel beginning November 28, http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/series/wild-justice/4952/Overview "Wild Justice." John is one of lead wardens in the series and I'm a co-executive producer.
"Wild Justice" is produced by Original Productions, a FremantleMedia Company, who also produce every day hero unscripted reality series', "The Deadliest Catch", "Ax Men," "America's Port" and "Ice Road Truckers".
The woods are quiet now for a few brief months until the cycle begins all over again. This is when cleaning up the mess takes place, with help from all kinds of volunteer groups. Cartel gardens leave behind mountains of trash. At the least, we hope that War in the Woods will stimulate conservation groups, scouting troops and corporations to pitch in and help clean up marijuana grows. The bill for clean-up can otherwise run $10,000 an acre.
At the most, we hope that it will move people to give more support to the brave law enforcement men and women who are on the front lines of the war in our woods. Without them, we will lose this war.
