A Startup Goes to Washington DC

The region’s annual Cap-to-Cap* advocacy program in DC happened about ten days ago, and a brand-new startup went along for the ride. This wasn’t a brand-new startup company, however – it was a startup Cap-to-Cap team, and it was focused on Innovation policy. I was honored to lead the team, especially since those on the team made it such an easy job!... Read More

Calif. snowpack just 17 percent of normal

ECHO SUMMIT, Calif. (AP) - California's last snow survey of the season is bad news for the millions of state residents who rely on the snowpack for their water.  

The state Department of Water Resources found the water content in the snowpack on Thursday was 17 percent of normal, an ominous situation for a state that depends on a steady stream of snowmelt to replenish reservoirs throughout the summer.  

In some places, there was no snow at all.  

State officials are projecting they will deliver just 35 percent of the water that has been requested from the 29 agencies that rely on the snowmelt, which supplies more than 25 million Californians.  

This year has been one of the driest rainy seasons on record in some parts of California.

Health defects found in fish exposed to Deepwater Horizon oil spill

Crude oil toxicity continued to sicken a sentinel Gulf Coast fish species for at least more than a year after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, according to new findings from a research team that includes a University of California, Davis, scientist.

With researchers from Louisiana and South Carolina, the scientists found that Gulf killifish embryos exposed to sediments from oiled locations in 2010 and 2011 show developmental abnormalities, including heart defects, delayed hatching and reduced hatching success. The killifish is an environmental indicator species, or a “canary in the coal mine,” used to predict broader exposures and health risks... Read More

WOODLAND, Calif. - A 17-year-old Woodland boy was robbed by two people on Monday, one of which brandished a knife, according to police.

Sergeant Steve Guthrie of the Woodland Police Department said the teen was walking on the 700 block of Beamer St. around 10 p.m. when he was approached by two people from behind. One of the individuals stepped in front of the boy, withdrew a pocket knife and demanded everything the boy had in his possession. The teen complied and the alleged robbers fled.

The individual with the knife was described as a light-skinned Hispanic man in his early 20s. He was wearing a black shirt, black Chicago White Sox baseball cap, and a bandana across his face.

The victim was unable to describe the second person involved.

The teen was uninjured in the incident.

Anyone with information on the incident was asked to notify the Woodland Police Department at 530- 661-7800
