  'Why did they let us burn?' | An investigation into unkept promises and mismanagement by the US Forest Service – Grizzly Flats was the Caldor Fire's first victim but decades-old studies showed Grizzly could one day burn. Promises were made to protect it, but were not kept. Humboldt Earthquake: Thousands still without power with more aftershocks expected – Thousands of people are still without power Wednesday morning after an earthquake rocked Humboldt County Tuesday. According to PG&E spokesperson Megan McFarland, the utility plans to restore power to the remaining 10,000 or so customers still without power. Aftershocks are expected to rattle the Humboldt County area for days after a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck early Tuesday morning. The United States Geological Survey said Wednesday there will likely be smaller aftershocks within the next week, with up to 12 aftershocks of magnitude 3 or higher. Winter Solstice today, longer days start tomorrow – The first official day of winter is Wednesday starting at 1:48 p.m. Pacific Time, but winter weather has already descended on Northern California. As the Earth rotates around the Sun, different portions of the planet receive more or less sunlight depending on the tilt. For the Northern Hemisphere, the winter solstice is when the Earth's axis is tilted away from the sun and we have the shortest days of the year around the third week of December. In most years, it falls between Dec. 20-22.  The holidays can lift your spirits but also widen your waistline and sour your smile. Celebrate too much and you'll need more than a diet. Sugary treats like candy canes obviously aren't great for your teeth, but there may be other not-so-obvious threats waiting at the office holiday party.  Wildlife officials rescued a critically ill mountain lion cub in Northern California and veterinarians named her “Holly” for the holiday season as they treat her in intensive care, the Oakland Zoo said Tuesday.
