PZEV Considerations
I'm looking at the 2009 Foresters and have the option to buy one with PZEV engineering. I'm not in a state which requires that technology but would probably get it just on principle unless there are significant drawbacks to it (mileage, power, etc.)
Any information on the trade-offs between the two engines?
Any information on the trade-offs between the two engines?
ateixeira Posts: 72,587We have a PZEV and so far we're happy we spent the extra $200 or so to get it.
You actually get 5 extra horses, or 175hp total.
Throttle response is immediate even at low revs. Acceleration on the highway is much more responsive than the 165hp 2002 Legacy it replaced, and that Legacy had the advantage of being a manual transmission.
My wife and I drove out of town on Wednesday and had a friendly competition - she averaged 30.0 mpg driving up, while I only managed 27.0mpg coming back, though I think my speeds were higher. So we're quite pleased with the fuel efficiency we're getting, too. High so far was 34 mpg, with a low of 22mpg in city driving.
Besides the 5hp, another potential benefit is that all the emissions equipment is designed to last at least 150,000 miles, because in PZEV states (NY, CA) the emissions warranty is that long.
I'm not sure if the regular, non-PZEV engine is all that different, but these and the obvious green benefits of the PZEV upgrade were well worth it to us. -
bigfrank3 Posts: 426It depends on how the stricter emission policy is met. If an engine can be made more efficient then it makes better use of the hydrocarbon fuel ingested, and this means more power and cleaner exhaust. With the technology today, mostly computers and faster-acting electronic controls this can be done more easily, especially if just fine-tuning an engine design that is already pretty clean.
In the older days this was not possible, so the engine ended up being detuned which hurt power. Things like lower compression, ultra-lean fuel mixtures, and retarded timing caused lower performance, poor economy, and a lousy running engine in general. In those days the fine tuning was done by adding extra controls each designed to handle certain things, and many times they didn't all work very well together.
On paper, if an engine could be 100% efficient it would get fantastic power output and fuel mileage, and truly be zero emissions. Since this is not possible there will always have to be something like a catalytic converter to clean up what does come out the exhaust pipe. The combination of fuel economy standards and emission policies has driven the technology to a great place. -
bigfrank3 Posts: 426My guess is it could, but probably not measurable. The changes made to get 5 HP should not be many or large, I would think just some of the calibration settings. 5 HP is not much of a change but as the old saying goes, better to have it than not. I would expect that the window sticker for the mileage is the same, so you would be better off watching the reports of mileage that come in here. Most of what I have seen here are better than the sticker anyway.
Juice has a PZEV and it is not broken in yet, but he is already getting great mileage... although his wife does better. -
kotterman Posts: 5I live in Minnesota where the Subaru dealers do not sell PZEV vehicles. I am considering purchasing an 09 Forester in the next few months. Do you think it's worth ordering a Forester with PZEV and waiting for the order to come in instead of getting one off the lot? In your opinion, does PZEV make a big enough difference in the performance of the vehicle to do a special order?
bigfrank3 Posts: 426That is a hard question to answer because it is mostly a personal decision, but I think there are other things to consider too. Since you don't plan to buy for a few months you could figure out just when you want it and order it ahead of time so there would be no real wait for you. In addition, you can usually get a better deal on an ordered vehicle since the dealer doesn't have to pay floor-planning charges to store it until it is sold. You might save the additional $200, or more, and get the PZEV for free.
When you get ready to buy you may find out that what is on the lots is not exactly what you want anyway, so you might have something on a vehicle that could also cost $200 extra but not be the engine. When one has the luxury of being able to wait it is always nice to get exactly what you want via ordering one.
Also, "greener" is always a good thing so in a small way you would be helping the environment. Don't forget that the PZEV has a longer emission warranty too, 15 years or 150K miles. I don't know if Minnesota has any emission testing, but if so it can't hurt to have the buffer of a cleaner vehicle.
Here in MA we have no choice since we have used the CA emission policy for a lot of years. My wife and I have had 5 Foresters and have never had any complaints on how they run. My current one is an 06 with the 173HP and it is definitely noticeable over the older 165 HP ones, including my wife's 05 Bean. -
camrytimes2 Posts: 31I have about 7,400 miles on my 2009 PZEV and have had no problems or regrets with vehicle performance. I purchased my Forester in Massachusetts and had no choice but to purchase a PZEV if I wanted a new Forester. After the sale, I researched the PZEV designation and found little solid information. Seems that PZEV is largely a bureaucratic designation and MAY indicate that the vehicle has a larger catalytic converter, a more effective evaporative canister and more robust fuel lines. The lengthy emission warranty is also government mandated for PZEV certified vehicles. In the case of Subaru, the extended warranty will only be honored if the PZEV vehicle was purchased in a Cali-emission state. Still, I'd rather have a PZEV than not due to possibly more durable emissions components.
ateixeira Posts: 72,587Juice has a PZEV and it is not broken in yet, but he is already getting great mileage... although his wife does better
I may never live that down.
Actually, we have passed 1000 miles, so we're officially broken in now.
The other day we took a highway trip about half hour each way, and round trip I managed to get 31.2mpg.
The average is always divisible by 0.3mpg, so it goes from 30.0mpg to 30.3, then 30.6, 30.9, 31.2, etc.
The EPA numbers are the same, PZEV compared to non-PZEV. Some people with non-PZEV models and manual transmissions have been besting our numbers routinely, so I don't think the PZEV is any more efficient.
I'll take the 5 extra HP, though.
As for should you or should you not, think of it this way - if you order one you'll know nobody ever test drove it. You can pick a color and customize your options, to get exactly what you want, untouched, untested, just for you.
Worth it IMHO. -
p0926 Posts: 4,423The NPR Car Talk guys had a column recently where they discussed the difference between the various emission designators. Their conclusion was that PZEV was essentially ULEV with a longer emissions warranty and that a PZEV engine didn't burn noticeably cleaner. Of course that was a general observation and some manufacturers may make more substantive changes to their PZEV vehicles.

ateixeira Posts: 72,587I certainly don't claim to know more than Click & Clack, but we have noticed a few differences in idle speeds and in throttle response with the PZEV models.
2 examples: warm up RPMs seem to be higher, and when you let off the throttle abruptly the RPMs don't drop as quickly as they seem to with non-PZEV models.
I'm sure at least the throttle mapping is different.
Plus, I doubt Subaru could claim a 5hp gain with no changes. These are SAE horses. -
rich505 Posts: 33I have had a 2009 Forester with the PZEV for 3 weeks now. Non-turbo, automatic 4-speed.
1. I hear brief engine pinging when accelerating while moving at lower speeds, especially going up hill or an incline. The pinging doesn't last long, I think the knock sensor kicks in. This occurs at lower RPMs. If you downshift using the accelerator the pinging doesn't occur. The dealer will check this next week when I bring it in to install an optional trim thing.
2. The A/C compressor cycles more frequently than I have experienced with other vehicles. This depends on the outside air temperature. I can measure (and feel) the outlet air temperature rising and falling. The dealer checked the cooling system and said the system was OK. -
p0926 Posts: 4,423Here's a link to the Car Talk Column
I'd forgotten that the column was in response to a Subaru Drive reader's question about the meaning of PZEV
-Frank -
robsis Posts: 160Thnx for the link!
My wife and I just bought an '09 Legacy PZEV. We do notice a slight difference in warm-up to her older non-PZEV Forester with the same 2.5L engine; however, once warmed up, there appears to be no difference in idle at all. Performance seems on par or slightly better in the new vehicle, which I would expect. As to mileage, can't say since we are comparing two different vehicles (Legacy vs. Forester); however, the new car already does get better mileage than the older one...
PS: We already are getting comments about the 'green leaf' PZEV badge on the back (we live in AZ, where it is not required) and people seem pleased that Subie would offer this as an option here in our state...it also makes us feel that we are contributing, if only somewhat, to cleaner air. -
rich505 Posts: 33Yes, I only use 87 octane.
I called Subaru Corporate Customer Service. Waste of time. The customer service person said all they do when an owner calls with service, operation, mechanical concerns is for Subaru to call the dealer's service manager. I made an appointment for next week to bring it in so that not only can the service writer drive with me but also the service manager.
Subaru apparently doesn't have a system for logging problems, they rely on the local dealers. -

Actually, your issue was logged (as are all calls). Subaru (like all manufacturers) wants to resolve any problem at the lowest level, hence the reason they referred you to the local dealer. However, if the dealer is unable to resolve your problem, it will be escalated to the district/regional level and then finally to corporate if necessary.

bigfrank3 Posts: 426Here in Mass. we also have PZEV certification, and I can tell you that you cannot get a non-PZEV vehicle registered in this state. We have had the Calif. emission certification for a number of years and this has been true for every brand. Early on you had the option of bringing the vehicle up to Mass. standards but this would be too complex and cost prohibitive nowadays.
If you check with one of your emission testing facilities I bet it is the same in NJ. -

Can anyone verify if the 6.4a slices are currently in the stream? As experienced by others my daily downloads ceased on 5/2 and have resumed on 6/2. However, it had been 1700 days since my R10 had been in the garage and been allowed to make a daily call. Roughly the 2nd week of May I lost my locals, so I brought it in and allowed it to call. Evidently 6.3e was sitting on my drive waiting and that update did happen. Now, I just need 6.4a to get locals back and while I've forced about a hundred daily calls in the last three weeks as yet nothing. Thanks in advance... (and thanks for being here, I've learned most of what I know about what's happened and why reading threads here in the last three weeks)

The 22-year-old is currently on Mississippi State University's shotgun shooting sports club. The team competes in skeet and trap shooting competitions.
Since he has been in college, Davis has participated in his share of athletics as he played football at Mississippi Delta Community College and rugby at MSU. The ability to handle a gun is something that Davis is used to as he has been an avid hunter since he was a kid.
Ever since joining the shooting team, Davis has had the time of his life.
"Usually, you have to wait until hunting season before you get to do a lot of shooting," Davis said. "When hunting season is over, that's about the most depressing day of the year. Now, you get to go over there and the fact that you get to be in school and do something that is that fun, it means a lot to be able to do that. Hunting and shooting has been a pretty big part of my growing up."
Davis said he has also gotten the chance to meet a lot of different people and that alone has been a rewarding experience.
"There are folks from California that like to shoot and people from the state of Washington that like to shoot," Davis said. "You have the same mindset, and you get to meet a lot of nice folks. It's very enjoyable, not only to shoot and compete, but it's enjoyable to be around the people who are involved in it."
According to Davis, the people that compete in skeet and trap shoots are concerned about safety at all times.
"You don't have any safety issues at a big shoot," Davis said. "The more people you have at a shoot, the safer it is. Everyone is safety conscious. You don't have just one man walking around trying to keep everybody safe. Everybody checks their stuff. You have a really good time, but safety is paramount at these shoots. When everybody is safety conscious and safety oriented, it's very enjoyable."
From his days growing up hunting, Davis had a knowledge about guns before joining the team. His time on the shooting team has increased his knowledge and his skill.
"This took what skill I had and how little it may have been and refined it very well," Davis said. "Just because you can go out there and shoot a duck pretty well, does not necessarily mean that you will be outstanding at skeet or trap. It is very, very helpful, but it does not always translate immediately. You do learn skills and learn more things about the equipment that you use. You actually learn an appreciation for what some of the things mean.
"You learn what type of shell you're shooting. You learn what you expect that shell to do once it reaches the target and the impact on the target."
In May of last year, Davis shined in the Mississippi Trap Association State Championships at Corinth. He won the B-class division while earning handicap junior gold and doubles junior gold.
To be able to compete well in skeet and trap shooting, a person must be accurate and precise. According to MSU shooting sports coach Jim Porter, Davis shot targets three and a half inches in diameter moving at a speed of 43 miles per hour at distances of 35 yards or further. He scored a 196 to take the top spot in B-class.
"He missed four targets out of 200 to win his class," Porter said. "He towed the bar against the best shooters there and prevailed. You can't miss targets and do that.
"When you shoot games of perfection, it comes down to fundamentals. You've got to do it the same way every time or you go home."
Davis is a member of the AIM (Academics, Integrity and Marksmanship) program for shooters ages 23 and under which is part of the Amateur Trap Shooters Associations.
The current shooting sports club at MSU is in its second year. The club will host a shooting invitational at the Starkville Gun Club in March.
The program is open to any student or anybody on staff at MSU. For more information on how to get involved with the program, contact Dr. Mike Brown at (662)-312-2608.

The Composers
Robert Schumann
One of the leading figures of musical Romanticism, the German composer Robert Schumann is best known for his piano music and songs, though he composed significant works in all the major genres. He had a sizeable influence on succeeding generations of composers and was also a skilled writer and critic.
Born into a literary family on 8 June 1810 in Saxony, Schumann began piano lessons at the age of seven and had composed his first works within a year. An early passion for literature manifested itself along with an enthusiasm for Beethoven, Mozart and Schubert.
In 1828, Schumann became a law student at Leipzig University and studied piano with Frederick Wieck, whose nine-year old daughter Clara was well on the way to becoming a great pianist. After briefly moving to Heidelberg, Schumann returned to Leipzig and prepared to devote his talents, which he considered equal as a poet and musician, to music, publishing his Opus 1, the Abegg Variations soon after.
However, his literary aspirations continued and, intrigued by the idea of Doppelgängers and the work of ETA Hoffmann, he projected two sides of his personality into his writings: the virtuosic, flamboyant Florestan, and the pensive, retiring Eusebius. In 1834 he became owner and editor of the journal Neue Zeitschrift für Musik.
By 1833, his weakened right hand, possibly damaged by a finger-stretching device, forced him to abandon his pianist ambitions and he decided to devote his musical talents to composition.
Throughout his career, Schumann seems to have concentrated on one particular genre at a time and from 1833-39, the emphasis was on piano music, giving him a certain amount of commercial success. Later genre-dominance includes: song (1840), symphonic music (1841), chamber music (1842), oratorio (1843), contrapuntal forms (1845), dramatic music (1847-8) and church music (1852).
In 1835-6 Schumann's love for Wieck's daughter, Clara blossomed into romance and though his feelings were reciprocated, Wieck strongly opposed the union, banning contact 'under pain of death'. Communicating via letter and secret messages in his music, Schumann continued the relationship, eventually going to court to obtain legal permission to marry.
Following their eventual wedding in September 1840, the Schumanns undertook a number of concert tours to showcase Clara's piano playing and Robert's composition. The results of these tours were more successful for Clara, leading to periods of depression and anxiety for Robert. After selling his journal, the Schumanns moved to Dresden, but Robert's mental and physical health continued to decline.
A period of recovery in 1849 allowed Schumann a chance to compose prolifically and increase his income, gaining a salaried position as municipal music director in Düsseldorf. However, by 1852 his health was once more in decline and after a successful concert tour of the Netherlands in late 1853 he began to suffer from 'intolerable aural disturbances'.
Fearful that he might harm his wife, he asked to be committed to an asylum, a request granted in March 1854 after a failed suicide attempt. Clara didn't see her husband for the next two and a half years, though they corresponded as they had done throughout their courtship. She finally saw Schumann just two days before his death on 29 July 1856 at an asylum in Endenich. Schumann's ill-health, it transpires, was probably due to the syphilis that he had contracted in 1832.
Although better known as a critic in his early years, Schumann's works, beginning with the Piano Quintet and 1st Symphony, gained him a great deal of public admiration and he soon established an international reputation. More impressive, though, is the huge influence he had on succeeding composers, most notably his friend of later years, Brahms.

Completed in early 1835, Carnaval is a set of 21 piano miniatures based on a four-note motif. The motif is derived from the hometown of Schumann's fiance, Ernestine von Fricken, namely the village of Asch. This is represented musically by the notes A-E flat-C-B (ASCH in German) or A flat-C-B (AsCH). With this simple device, Schumann is able to unify the cycle.
Carnaval contains some exquisite character portraits. Many of the characters depicted come from Schumann's Band of David (Davidsbund), a group willing to uphold music in the face of the 'philistine' attitudes current at the time. Schumann had just founded the group's journal when he met Fricken.
Florestan and Esebius, the names Schumann used to symbolise the contrasting sides of his character, make an appearance, as does Clara Wieck, the composer's future wife, in the forceful Chiarina. Ernestine, herself, is portrayed in the brief, but passionate, Estrella. Listen out also for a tribute to the great composer of nocturnes (Chopin) and a virtuosic nod in the direction of another contemporary (Paganini).

Tips for making a Brewers playoff baby
milwaukee brewers September 30th, 2011
I have this friend named John. He is a HUGE Brewers fan and so is his dad. In fact, his dad is such a big Brewers fan that John most likely wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the Brewers 1982 World Series run. You see his parents had sex after one of the games and she got pregnant and later John was born. This kind of thing happens all the time. By my estimation I wouldn't exist if it wasn't for alcohol the series premiere of The Greatest American Hero. (You should see the way my mom cries when she hears "Believe It Or Not".) With the Brewers set to make another run toward the World Series love is definitely in the air. Our "sex in a stadium bathroom" post has been getting record hits over the last week, Bonnie Brewer outfits are completely sold out from the fetish shop I go to and even Al's Ramblings is talking to girls now. The playoffs are here, love is all around us and it is only natural that babies are going to be made as a result.
Of course, having a baby is a big decision that should not be entered into lightly and you should use caution and make bla bla bla because it's something that will affect you for the bla bla bla of your bla bla bla. Who cares!? Really. The Brewers are going to the World Series! You're going to be together with whoever you are with now forever! And you'll name your baby Rickie Prince Ryan Park Drunk Gallardo (your last name)! Everything is going to work out fine! BREWERS!!!!!
Look, you people who are going to do this you know who you are. If you're going to do this then just do it. I make mistakes that will change the rest of my life forever all the time, but if you're going to do this you need to do it right. You can't just rush into this thing, you need a gameplan. You need me to show you the way to make a Brewers playoff baby the right way. In fact, let's do that right now. Read the rest of this entry »

Due to Stop Feed Action, rats and mice cease feeding after consuming a toxic dose. Ideal for addressing and cleaning out heavy rodent infestations.

University Art Collection
The University Art Collection, much of which is displayed in various administrative offices around campus, is composed mostly of gifts from alumni and friends. Since it reflects manifold tastes and collecting interests, the collection is quite diverse and includes over 500 paintings, as well as antique furnishings, sculpture and objets d'art. The paintings collection is strong in the Baroque period, 19th-century American art, portraiture and works of religious significance. Highlights of the art collection, ranging from a 13th-century church carving of "The Education of the Virgin" to the monumental "Calling of St. Matthew" by Luca Giordano, are on permanent display in Carroll Parlor in historic Healy Hall. Other works for which we lack adequate display space, or those too fragile to display, are in vault storage. In addition, the University has a substantial collection of over 12,000 fine prints, housed in Lauinger Library, which are displayed in its Charles Marvin Fairchild Memorial Gallery in rotating exhibitions three times a year. This collection emphasizes 20th-century American prints as well as works produced in or relating to Georgetown and the greater Washington area. The result of generous gifts and some judicious acquisitions, the collection was assembled by the late Joseph A. Haller, S.J., Emeritus Curator of Fine Prints, formerly the University Treasurer. A searchable list of the prints and printmakers is available online.
Current and many past exhibitions in the Fairchild Gallery can be browsed for inventory, descriptions and images on the Exhibitions page. Visitors are welcome to view prints or other objects from the art collection and are encouraged to schedule an appointment ahead of time.

S. Sudan welcomes U.S. military help to fight LRA
JUBA, Oct 21 (Reuters) - South Sudan is welcoming U.S. military assistance
to help fight Ugandan rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) accused
of murder, rape and kidnapping children, officials said on Friday.
Last week, President Barack Obama said the U.S. was sending 100 military
advisors to central Africa to help battling the LRA operating in Uganda
and lawless parts of South Sudan, Central African Republic and the
Democratic Republic of Congo.
In a letter to Congress, Obama said the first troops had already arrived
in Uganda and would be deployed to South Sudan, the CAR and Democratic
Republic of Congo subject to their approval.
On Friday, newly independent South Sudan welcomed the U.S. military
cooperation with its army, known as SPLA, to help hunt down LRA leader
Joseph Kony.
"It is agreed. There was a high military delegation prior to that
announcement which discussed all the details of it together with the
SPLA," Information Minister Barnaba Marial Benjamin told Reuters.
"It is logistical help, a capacity training programme and support for all
the four countries to contain the LRA. It will start immediately because
people have already agreed on that," he said, without giving further
SPLA spokesman Philip Aguer said: "There are already coordinated
mechanisms that have been combating LRA so the new LRA advisory will be an
"Their most important role is the provision of air surveillance and
information," he said of the U.S. assistance.
The LRA, which says it is a religious group, emerged in northern Uganda in
the 1990s and is believed to have killed, kidnapped and mutilated tens of
thousands of people.
LRA leader Kony has been indicted by the Hague-based International
Criminal Court on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
LRA commanders have been operating in the wild and largely lawless border
regions of the DRC, Central African Republic and South Sudan in recent
Although now thought to number just a few hundred fighters, the LRA's
mobility and the difficulties of the terrain have made it difficult to
tackle. Attempts to negotiate peace failed in 2008 after Kony refused to
sign a deal to end the killing. (Reporting by Hereward Holland; Editing by

Initial Funding Year: FY 2007-2008
New San Bernardino Justice Center

Current Status |
Construction Timelapse |
Awards and Recognition |
The Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino serves residents of the City of San Bernardino and the surrounding communities of Redlands, Fontana, and Twin Peaks in nine separate facilities. These facilities poorly serve the growing needs of the superior court, and the lack of consolidated facilities exacerbates the functional problems of the main court facilities.
The nexus of court operations is the downtown court complex, consisting of two facilities. The historic San Bernardino Courthouse was constructed in 1926 as a county office and court facility and is on the National Register of Historic Places. This courthouse originally had 2 courtrooms and a boardroom and now houses 15 marginal courtrooms. This facility was expanded in 1958 with the construction of the adjoining San Bernardino Courthouse Annex behind the historic courthouse. This facility, referred to as the "T-Wing," was originally designed as offices for county agencies with no courtrooms. The T-Wing now houses 11 makeshift courtrooms. These facilities have significant security problems, are very overcrowded, have many physical problems, and prevent the court from operating safely and efficiently.
This project will provide a new 36-courtroom facility on a site donated by the City of San Bernardino directly across the street from the historic courthouse. The project will consolidate court operations, replacing seven facilities, and include space for court administration, a court clerk, court security operations, a holding area, and facility support space. The 11-story building will occupy a site of about 7 acres, which will also include 385 surface parking spaces for court visitors and staff.
The design, by architects Skidmore Owings and Merrill, incorporates several innovative features, including ways to draw daylight into the building without heat and to collect and reuse rooftop rainwater. The building's sustainability features will qualify it to receive LEED Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. Construction began in November 2011 and was completed in spring 2014.

Why do we need a new courthouse?
Stretching from the Los Angeles basin cities of Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana to the mountain towns of Twin Peaks and Big Bear to places such as Needles and Joshua Tree in the desert east, San Bernardino County is one of the most diverse and fastest-growing counties in California. It is also one of the largest counties in the United States. Over the past two decades, the county's population has increased by 91 percent. By 2020, it's predicted the population will top 2.45 million residents.
The Superior Court of San Bernardino County serves residents through 17 separate facilities, including the historic San Bernardino Courthouse, constructed in 1926. Originally built to provide two courtrooms and a boardroom, the courthouse now houses 15 antiquated courtrooms. The historic courthouse was expanded in 1958 through the addition of an administrative "T-Wing" annex which now hosts 11 undersized courtrooms. Many of the other courthouse facilities throughout the county are also significantly overcrowded and have numerous physical, functional, and efficiency problems as well as safety and security issues. The deteriorated condition of the court facilities coupled with the exploding growth in population and approved judicial officers and funding far below the demonstrated need limits the ability of San Bernardino Superior Court to meet the growing needs of its residents.
What is the plan for the new courthouse?
The new, seismically safe San Bernardino Justice Center will be located at 247 West 3rd Street, directly across from the historic courthouse. The new 11-story facility will house 35 courtrooms plus 2 hearing rooms, consolidating court operations from nine existing facilities into one justice center by replacing all of these other facilities with the exception of the historic courthouse and "T-Wing annex". The new, modern courthouse will eliminate severe overcrowding and provide adequate space for court administration, facility support, security operations, and a holding area with a secure sallyport for the transportation of in-custody detainees. The seven-acre site will also provide adjacent surface parking spaces for visitors, jurors, and staff.
Was renovation considered before the plan to build a new courthouse was decided on?
Current court operations being consolidated are spread among nine separate facilities, making access to court services unwieldy and inefficient. The current historic courthouse is less than half the size needed to accommodate existing and future operating requirements. Insufficient in size, the current courthouse lacks adequate space to serve the needs of a growing population. The old courthouse and ancillary facilities have many other functional, efficiency, and security challenges which include:
Who is the AOC, and why are they managing this project? What is the Judicial Council?
The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) is the staff arm of the Judicial Council of California. The Judicial Council is the policymaking body for the California court system, including the trial courts, known as Superior Courts, based in each county. Among other responsibilities, the AOC is responsible for planning, acquisition, design, renovation and construction of court facilities. The new courthouse will be owned by the judicial branch.
For more information about the AOC and the Judicial Council, refer to:
How has the local community had input regarding the courthouse project?
During the site selection and acquisition phase, local members of the Project Advisory Group (including members of the San Bernardino Superior Court, local government representatives and other justice partners) worked with the City of San Bernardino, accepting their gift of 7.1 acres as the site for the new San Bernardino Justice Center. Court leaders also previewed the courthouse's design at community meetings.
What will happen to the current courthouse when the new courthouse is completed?
The new courthouse will relieve significant overcrowding in the historic courthouse, which will continue to be used for civil proceedings.

Who is the construction manager at risk on the project?
In business for more than 50 years, the California firm of Rudolph and Sletten has completed numerous public and private projects throughout the state. The company has won numerous awards, including the Achievement Award from the Construction Management Association of America and the Best Practice Award at the California Higher Education Sustainability Conference for its work on the Helios Energy Bioscience Building.
How was the contractor selected?
The AOC uses a construction manager at risk (CMAR) for delivery of projects such as the new San Bernardino Justice Center. The CMAR method entails a commitment to deliver the project within a guaranteed maximum price. The competitive selection process factors in qualitative criteria, such as the firm's experience, as well as the contractor's fee. The CMAR is retained early in the project for preconstruction services. Following a competitive bid for all subcontractors and the approval to award, the CMAR becomes the general contractor for the project. Selection criteria for the project CMAR includes an evaluation of the firm's plan for outreach to local subcontractors, ensuring that qualified local firms are fully aware of the bidding opportunity, process, and timeline. For this competitive selection, the AOC conducted interviews with six qualified firms, from which Rudolph and Sletten was selected.
What are the key milestones in building the courthouse?
When will the courthouse be completed and operational?
Construction began in November 2011; the courthouse is scheduled for completion in the spring of 2014. This timeline is subject to change.
What are the AOC's policies with regard to local hiring and purchasing during design and construction? How did members of the public find out about those opportunities?
Once the AOC selected the construction manager at risk, that company became the general contractor on the project. It did an outreach to local subcontractors, ensuring that qualified local firms were fully aware of the bidding opportunity, process, and timeline. All qualified subcontractors, lower-tier subcontractors, and suppliers were considered.
What is the location of the new courthouse?
The new courthouse is being built on a seven-acre site located at 247 West 3rd Street in downtown San Bernardino, across from the historic courthouse.
What was the process used to select the site?
The site was donated to the state by the City of San Bernardino with the approval of the Project Advisory Group for the project. In addition, San Bernardino County contributed approximately $8.8 million to the project from funds originally budgeted to improve the courthouse "T-wing" annex. These significant contributions from the city and county enabled the project to progress more quickly, reducing the overall cost of the new San Bernardino Justice Center to the people of California.
The Project Advisory Group for the San Bernardino Justice Center included:Why does the AOC decide where the new court is built? Why isn't this a county decision?
Historically, trial courts functioned largely as county departments, but that changed in 2002 with passage of the Trial Court Facilities Act. This law made the State of California responsible for court facilities statewide, rather than the counties. The law gave the Judicial Council responsibility for facilities owned or occupied by the courts and made the AOC responsible for operations, maintenance, and repairs, as well as site acquisition, planning, design, and construction of capital projects that replace or renovate courthouses. Recognizing the importance of this project to the city and county of San Bernardino, both entities were closely involved from the beginning, making economic contributions that resulted in the decision to accept the city's donated site, which also kept the new building in close proximity to the historic courthouse.
What environmental review was conducted on the site before it was developed?
The AOC is the lead agency for environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In April 2008, the AOC approved a mitigated negative declaration for the project. The mitigated negative declaration evaluated the potential environmental impacts of the project and identified appropriate mitigation measures. Some of the mitigation measures that will be applied during construction include watering disturbed earth to severely limit dust emissions, relocating young trees and planting multiple trees for every mature tree removed from the site, soil erosion control measures, and a water retention program as well as a storm drainage system during and post construction.
How is the new courthouse being funded?
The courthouse is being funded without impact to the state's General Fund. The funds come from statewide increases in court user fees, authorized by the Trial Court Facilities Act of 2002. This bill approved the issuance of lease-revenue bonds to fund this project, to be repaid by court fees, penalties, and assessments. Bonds were sold for this project in the fall of 2011.
How did the state arrive at its budget for the project?
The AOC develops each project budget by first determining the building size, site size, and number of parking spaces. Then it provides this information to a professional cost estimating firm that creates a hard construction cost for the building and site work. To this, the AOC adds all project soft costs, which includes all costs associated with evaluating, selecting, and acquiring a site, analysis required to comply with CEQA, the fee for the architecture and engineering team, geotechnical testing, project management and construction management fees, commissioning fees, and the cost of furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
How can the state afford a new courthouse at all, given current state finances?
The San Bernardino Justice Center was authorized under the Trial Court Facilities Act of 2002, which transferred responsibility for court facilities—their repair, renovation and construction—from counties to the state. To fund desperately needed renovations and repairs, penalty assessments and parking offense penalties were increased, and civil filing fee surcharges were created. This ensured a revenue stream to finance courthouse construction and renovations, promising these projects would be paid for from within the court system rather than drawing on the state's General Fund or local taxes. The state sold bonds for this project in November 2011. Once the courthouse is completed and occupied, the same revenue stream will repay those bonds over 35 years. This means that funds from other court jurisdictions will support San Bernardino's critical needs in years to come.
What is the impact of the state's current budget crisis on this project?
The recent cost-cutting initiatives on statewide court construction, including reassessment of 13 projects and budget trimming on 24 other projects, will not affect construction already underway on the new San Bernardino Justice Center. Because the state has already sold bonds for this project and has an identified funding pool to repay them, and because the building is already under construction, no further budget-related delays are expected.
Who is the architect on the project?
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP was the architect selected to design the new San Bernardino Justice Center. Established in 1936, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP provides architecture and sustainable design services, as well building services/MEP engineering and urban design and planning. The company has won numerous awards for its work including several Merit Awards from the American Institute of Architecture, California Council, as well as the American Architect Award from Chicago Athenaeum. Its projects have included the new courthouse for the Superior Court of San Diego County, beginning construction in December 2013, and the new federal courthouse in Los Angeles, also currently under construction.
How was the architect selected?
The AOC uses a competitive selection process, factoring in qualitative criteria, such as the firm's experience in similar projects, quality of past work and meeting schedules and budgets. The architectural company is retained early in the project to begin preliminary drawings.
What are the key milestones in designing the courthouse?
Where can I see renderings of the new courthouse?
Renderings are posted on the project web page under the GALLERY tab.
Will the new courthouse be energy efficient and sustainably designed?
The San Bernardino Justice Center is designed to qualify for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. This award is a national standard for sustainable design. The LEED Rating System for New Construction includes criteria for green practices that embrace sustainability, water efficiency, appropriate use of energy, materials, and resources, indoor environmental quality, and innovation in design processes. Sustainability features such as window louvers to block out harsh sunlight and afternoon heat and an insulating rooftop garden will save energy and make the building more efficient to operate over the life of the courthouse.

Take a group of kids, put them together, and before the day is over, they'll inevitably form a club. The Space Kidettes were no different than other children, except that their clubhouse was located in outer space.
These four kids and their dog just wanted to hang out in their clubhouse and explore the vastness of their universe. Every kid's dream, right? Unfortunately, they were forced to spend most of their time foiling the evil plans of Captain Spacehook and his sidekick Static.
It was never explained why these kids spent so much time away from their parents or why Captain Spacehook felt so compelled to capture them, but it didn't matter. The idea of floating through space with your best friends and faithful dog was enough to make this cartoon a favorite for any kid.
The Space Kidettes were seemingly oblivious to the evil plans of Captain Spacehook, and whenever they end up defeating him, it appeared to be by sheer luck. On second analysis, however, the reasons behind their success goes much deeper. The Kidettes, after all, were a good-natured group, and spend most of their day doing good deeds that built up an exemplary karma that no nemesis could touch. Captain Spacehook, on the other hand, was so out-of-kilter with the universe that he had no chance of success at all. This message may have been lost on most viewers, but it was a strong message, and once again proved that cartoons are often more than meets the eye.

Introduction Ing. Luis de la Pea Porth, Sub-Secretary of Recursos No Renovables, denounced yesterday in Hermosillo, Sonora, while inaugurating the Convention of Mining, Metallurgical and Geological Engineers, that ""there are still doubtful mexicanizations and negative tendencies that require corrective measures"". The Government official who was accompanied by presidential repre-sentatives, said that the negative aspects of the mining situation of concern to the Mexican Government are the following: 1) The insufficient level of investments that are presently be-ing made by the State as well as by private enterprise in the explo-ration and development of new exploitation units. 2) The weakness of the small and medium mining entities and the dangerous concentration of the National mining production in a reduced number of large companies. 3) The vulnerability of Mexican mineral production and progress to international prices to the extent that when there are unfavorable prices they not only affect production at that time, but have a large impact on future production and impede taking adequate advantage du-ring times of reasonable prices. 4) The abuse in the incorporation of enterprises that, with purely promotional or speculative objectives obtain (mineral) concessions over large surfaces of land. 5) The existence of many inactive mining properties or in which only the minimum legal work is carried out, even though some of them are located in zones with no other resources and in which mining is vital for employment. 6) The inconsistency which exists between the degree of mexicani-zation achieved in the productive phase of mining and the very limited progress obtained in other phases such as the commercial phase and with reference to the utilization of mineral production. 7) The precarious situation which due to international factors out of our control, must be taken into account with respect to the mining industry in Mexico, which effects we are just beginning to feel. Ing. De la Pea Porth stated, before the Mexican mining community at-tending the Convention, that the mining politics of Mexico have as an objective, among other things, the goal of reaching the highest level economically possible of transformation or of industrialization of the mining production of the country. He added that, among other important aspects of Mexican mining poli-tics, there is the objective of achieving the highest level possible of training and employment of Mexican personnel in the mining indus-try.

Courtesy Tanimura & AntleHarvesters work a romaine field in the Yuma, Ariz., area for Tanimura & Antle Jan. 28 near muddy roads. Rains have further diminished supply.Lettuce prices have shot up fivefold for some pack sizes and varieties since Christmas as another round of freezes and rainstorms hit desert production regions.
Cartons of 24 romaine heads out of Yuma, Ariz., shipped for $33.25 to $36.35 on Jan. 28, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They were just $6.95 to $7.65 on Dec. 17.
A dozen three-count packages of romaine hearts were $36.50 to $37.56, up from $10.45 to $12.
John Burton, general manager for sales and cooler at Coachella, Calif.-based Peter Rabbit Farms, calls it a "nightmare gap."
When will it end? The answer varies by region and grower. February could bring a measure of relief, but some growers are already bracing for another shortfall in March when the deal transitions to Huron and Salinas.
"There's an empty pipeline and nothing to replace it with, including iceberg," Burton said. "Foodservice and salad guys are looking for clean romaine so they're out buying fields. Everyone's grabbing for their piece of the pie and there's just not enough to go around. People that would take four loads a week are getting one."
In Yuma, production came to a standstill as an inch and a half or so of rain fell Jan. 25-27. More was forecast. That followed a series of frost nights in the first half of the month.
"We had anywhere from 10 to 14 straight days of morning ice," said Mark Adamek, general manager for romaine and mixed leaf production at Salinas, Calif.-based Tanimura & Antle. "A few of those episodes were long-duration ices. The crop is pretty beat up and the industry is dealing with down yields. But we're also trying our best to hold on to our inventories, because we all think that at the end of the deal we're not going to have enough."
The spate of frost nights in January followed one in December. Frosts aren't unusual in the Arizona or California deserts. What really hurt this year was unseasonably warm weather early in the deal that left volume already depleted, due to quality issues, when the thermometer dropped.
"The first part of the season, even though I was harvesting the fields, I was throwing a good third of it back on the ground," Adamek said. "It wasn't shippable."
In Coachella, there were four to five frosts in the first 10 days or so of January.
"Those cold days turned a legitimate gap into a nightmare gap where we couldn't harvest more than 25% of normal on any given day," Burton said.
