ROSEVILLE, CA - Christopher Jon Michael Northam, 25, of Roseville was arrested Wednesday morning on a warrant charging him with his father's murder in May 2011, according to Roseville police.

Northam's ex-wife Averil Elizabeth Easly, 34, of Roseville was also arrested on a Placer...more County Superior Court warrant charging her as an accessory after the fact, said Roseville police spokeswoman Dee Dee Gunther.

Following a comprehensive eight-month investigation that included examination of financial records, interviewing witnesses and eliminating other suspects, detectives found Northam had killed his father for financial gain, said Gunther.

Easley is suspected of giving "false and misleading" information to officers, resulting in

I remember a time when there was no such thing as “nut butter.” There was peanut butter, smooth or crunchy, and it was not very natural at all. It was full of sugar and hydrogenated oil and no one knew any different. As “health foods” gained popularity, companies began producing natural peanut...more butter made simply from peanuts and maybe a little salt. A far better option than the hydrogenated fare!

The City of Roseville broke ground on Fire Station No. 9 Thursday, and expects to finish the construction by this winter.

Hugo VS The Artist
The two top contenders for this year's Academy Awards
By Jonathan Mumm
They are the top competitors at this year’s Academy Awards, HUGO with 11 nominations, THE ARTIST with 10.  They are both about the early days of movies, but differ greatly in style, technique...more and cinema imagery.  THE ARTIST is a movie by a French film director about early Hollywood filmmaking, HUGO is a movie by a Hollywood director about early French filmmaking.
For THE ARTIST director Michel Hazanavicius adopts the style of the time in which his story is set.  His movie takes place at the very end of the silent era and it, too, is silent and black and white, even recreating certain silent film style staging.  It is a fictitious story, repeating a favorite Hollywood theme over the years of the famous star on the way out and the young newcomer on the way up (see: A STAR IS BORN and WHAT PRICE HOLLYWOOD).  But THE ARTIST is also a celebration of the early days of Hollywood
