Halloween is a time for making memories, not causing nightmares. This Halloween, CMPD is reminding Halloween partiers that Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving.

In 2015, there were 55 people killed nationwide in drunk-driving-related crashes, and others were killed by drugged-impaired drivers.

The National Weather Service has issued an Excessive Heat Warning, which will be in effect through Wednesday, October 25, 2017 at 8:00PM.
Temperatures in most inland Orange County and surrounding mountain communities are expected to reach high temperatures, between 101° and 108°, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heat stroke for those who are more sensitive to heat. Slightly lower temperatures are expected on Wednesday.
Prolonged exposure to excessive temperatures may cause serious conditions like heat exhaustion or heat stroke and can even be fatal. Symptoms of heat exhaustion may include heavy sweating, muscle cramps, weakness, headache, nausea or vomiting and dizziness. Warning signs of heat stroke may include an extremely high body temperature, unconsciousness, confusion, hot and dry skin (no sweating), a rapid, strong pulse, and a throbbing headache. If symptoms of heat stroke occur, immediately call for medical assistance. Move the impacted person to a shady area and begin cooling their body with water. Continue reading→

Clearbridge NanoMedics' co-founder Prof Lim attributes conviction, commitment and passion to the company's success
An NUS startup has clinched the Most Disruptive Innovation Award at TechVenture 2012, an event presented by the National Research Foundation (NRF) Singapore. Clearbridge NanoMedics, the University's Faculty of Engineering spin-off firm, was recognised with the win on 17 October at a gala dinner in Singapore.
The Most Disruptive Innovation Award honours the most game-changing and unique business idea or technology which shows vision through good research and innovation, with clear reasonable forecasts of potential business performance.
Co-founder of Clearbridge NanoMedics, Professor Lim Chwee Teck from the NUS Departments of Bioengineering and Mechanical Engineering, said the firm's nanofibre technology has already been commercialised. The development of different types of high-surface contact area, ultra-pliable, time-release leave-on nanofibre meshes, makes the super-thin material ideal for skin-related applications. These include extended-wear facial masks, anti-ageing treatment stickers and dermal patches for burns or difficult wounds.
Prof Lim said that strong conviction, commitment and passion are key contributing attributes to the firm's success. NRF's CEO Professor Low Teck Seng also commented in Digital News Asia that passion, coupled with a pinch of recklessness, is what differentiates the academics who go into business - and Prof Lim is one such person who takes the leap of faith to become an entrepreneur.
Techventure 2012 is Asia's summit for the world's influential investors and innovators. This year's theme "Asian. Innovation. Renaissance." focused on the economic developments and opportunities in Asia, attracting more than 700 delegates from around the world.
