California lawmakers to vote on $1 billion water plan Wednesday

Taunt those Easterners about the weather while you still can: Joe Mathews
One joy of being Californian is the opportunity to taunt folks Back East about their terrible winter weather. Hey, Boston, how does it feel to have been colonized by Eskimos? But this winter, with Californians sending snow-bound Easterners a blizzard of photos of our palm trees and blue skies, all our taunting may be masking our fears about our own weather.
Drought: Best thing to happen to water-saving innovation

Global warming wasn't the only reason 2014 was California's hottest year

Not long after 9/11, going to the airport included taking off your shoes and getting body scanned. With the advent of the smartphone, talking is giving way to texting.

Most experts say no, not unless the 400 retail water agencies insert draconian penalties for water gluttons, or the state Legislature passes outright bans on "nonbeneficial" water uses such as lawns, fountains and swimming pools.

Bruce Springsteen Flies Air Force One With Obama, Performs With Jay-Z (Video)
Win or lose, the last day of campaigning will prove memorable for both President Obama and Bruce Springsteen.
The president and the "Born in the USA" singer are touring together on Monday, making an appearance in Madison, Wisconsin before heading to Columbus, Ohio and then finishing their day in Des Moines, Iowa. Springsteen, who has come on strong for Obama after abstaining from much politicking earlier in the campaign, opened for the president's stump speech in Madison with an acoustic set that included the classic tune, "Thunder Road."
STORY: Obama Taps Springsteen, Hamm, Gyllenhaal and Others for Last-Minute Support
Springsteen joined Obama on Air Force One for the first time for their flight to Wisconsin; afterwards he told reporters that it was "pretty cool." He reserves this grandeur, it seems, for his lyrics.
As for Obama, he remarked in his speech to voters in Madison that "I get to fly around with [Springsteen] on the last day that I will ever campaign. So that's not a bad way to end things."
Obama and Springsteen will be joined in Columbus by Jay-Z; the performances can be streamed by clicking here.

Keri Hilson posed with boyfriend Serge Ibaka at ESPN's Body Issue Pre-Party (Serge graces the cover–nude–and looks fantastic). At any rate, Keri clung to Valentino separates for her red carpet appearance, working the brand's $850 Camouflage Print Sweater and $1,890 Silk Pants:
Black pumps, gold cuffs, and a low pony accented her look.
Her cotton jersey crewneck boasts classic army green and beige hues.
Her loose fit silk pants have a drawstring waist.
Almost $3K for camo? Yikes! For such an investment, the outfit isn't much to write home about, though I do love her with darker hair.
What do you think?
*In case you haven't seen it, check Serge out on the cover of ESPN's Body Issue.
Ok, Keri! Go girl.
In this case no one cares what Keri is wearing when she have such a beautiful African Prince on her arms. Yummy.
They look nice, I like the camo!
Keri makeup is flawless. Yassssssss biiiicccchhhhhhhh
I think Keri looks cute but I'm underwhelmed by her fit for the occasion. I've seen her more dressed up going shopping or partying.
No mam
Keri is beyond beautiful, even without all the make-up. But the girl NEVER gets it right in the style department. I like the look, but just not for the occasion.
I'm not crazy about her outfit, but once again, her face is flawless!
Outfit would be okay if her man wasn't on the cover…she's lookng like just another guest.
Her makeup is beyond amazing!! And I feel on point b/c I scheduled an appt w/ my stylist for a fishtail braid yesterday!!
I think she looks great. Love the dark hair and braided pony. And the outfit choice is confident and cool, which is perfect for an ESPN event. Yes, she could have tried a more traditional "basketball wife" style outfit (read: tight dress), but I love how she holds her own with this look. Very refreshing and personable, which unexpectedly makes her seem more likable and girlfriend-y. Aside from that, they make a gorgeous couple!!!
Keri is too beautiful…omg! Bad fasjioy but so stunning face and body wise.
I would wear this so cute and Keri Hilson is look more beautiful than ever. Her Eye candy is a hot piece there
She should've chosen a different top! The pants are hot and would've been so much better paired with something that added to the luxe look. That sweatshirt is drab compared to those pants.
I checked the website today the minute I saw Keri's outfit. I think its perfect for the event. The whole look is styled perfect. Its an award show but its for sports so you don't need to bring out your floor gown realness. Hair and makeup are on point and the satin pants give its just the right amount of polish. Not to mention that she compliments the gentleman's style nicely. I wonder if they practiced that pose hunnnneeee. I was hoping for an affordable alternative for this look.
Damn that outfit is mad dope! Unfortunately, Ms. Hilson fell FLAT! I have seen so many girls wear booties appropriately. With this look she could have KILLED a myriad of booties. This look is a bit rich for my budget, but I may have to find a alternative. The 80's and 90's were my hey day, I am crazy forcamo anything.
i agree with @bee. the pants are cute, but i would've styled it with a silky top. anyway, keri is glowing– but who would't be next to that fine specimen. mmph.
Kerri's makeup is beat to the god's yessssss hunty!!! But Serge is to dang fine!!! He took the cake in this pic!!! And no ma'am would I have paid almost 3K for the outfit.. I could have taken her to my local Army/Navy store and spent less than $20 on both pieces lol!!! :-)
I love those pants!!!
Keri is SO very bomb & her man is Mmm, Mmm G-O-O-D. :-D
Ms. Keri's fashion is not too far off from Ms. Beyonce 's fashion. However everyone just ripped her outfit up except her face. Interesting.

wanted: have: string of pearls
Just recently purchased a String of Pearls plant (Senecio rowleyanus) at a local supermarket without really knowing how to care for it. Left it out in direct sunlight for a few hours, assuming that because it's a succulent, that it would require bright, direct sunlight. Anyway, it's slightly burned on top, but is still definitely savable. I'm not a very experienced gardener, therefore, do NOT want to invest the time in caring for this gem of a plant. Nor do I have any place for it indoors.
As far as what I'd like:
Dahlia tuber(s)
Any other tubers/bulbs that can be planted for late summer/early fall bloom.
I'm new to this online exchange thing, therefore would like it if someone local could exchange, but would be willing to ship the plant.
I live in Severn, MD.
This post was edited by christy51274 on Wed, Jun 11, 14 at 8:30
Sure! Would love even just the Dahlias alone. Please email me at: email@example.com.
I've never mailed a plant, so am hoping maybe you could give me some pointers. Should I mail this plant bare root?
Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

He also wrote idyllic verse on Czech country life, notably In the Shade of the Linden Tree (1879), and satirical novels, including the utopian Excursion of Mr. Broucek to the Moon (1886).

David W. Chen
David W. Chen has been The Times' City Hall bureau chief since 2008. He has delved into topics ranging from Mayor Bloomberg's record on diversity to former Congressman Anthony Weiner's volatile managerial style.
Before that, Mr. Chen served as Trenton bureau chief, reporting on everything from the 2006 government shutdown to Gov. Jon Corzine's ubiquitous sweater vest. He has covered many political campaigns, including the 2009 mayor's race, 2006 U.S. Senate race in New Jersey and the extra-inning 2010 Connecticut governor's race.
He has also been stationed in Beijing and Los Angeles on extended assignments in China, he wrote a first-person story about his father's ancestral village in Fujian and a non-first-person one about disposable diapers in Shanghai. On the West Coast, his dispatches included one on post-9/11 tourism in Hawaii, complete with a dinner with Don Ho.
A New Jersey native, Mr. Chen is the son of Chinese immigrants — a political science professor and a children's librarian. He holds degrees from Yale and Columbia, and worked for The Associated Press and the San Jose Mercury News before joining The Times in 1995.
He has won several awards, including, perhaps unique among Times reporters, one from the Dog Writers Association of America, for a story about handicapped animals (in California, naturally). He has lived, worked or studied in places with different forms of governments: colonial rule (Hong Kong), Communist rule (China), martial law (Taiwan), and of course, home rule (New Jersey).

Why does he only answer to the name "Deadpool"? Was hereally part of a black bag special ops team that nobody has ever heard of? Were his teammates really given names like "Bullseye," "Silver Sable" and "Domino"? What did Wilson know, and when did he know it? A bloody massacre in Sinaloa, Mexico has left hundreds dead and disgraced soldier Wade Wilson has a LOT of explaining to do.

Quota bill gets Rajya Sabha nod Last Updated : 18 Dec 2012 09:51:59 AM IST Vice President Hamid Ansari pacifying members in the Rajya Sabha in New Delhi on Monday.
A Constitution amendment bill providing for quota for SCs and STs in government job promotions was on Monday passed by Rajya Sabha with an overwhelming vote of 206 in the 245-member House.
10 votes were polled against the proposed legislation, which was strongly opposed by UPA ally Samajwadi Party but pushed by another supporter BSP creating a difficult situation for the government.
Those who voted against the contentious Constitution (117th Amendment) Bill, 2012, were nine members of Samajwadi Party and an independent Md Adeeb.
Being a Constitution amendment bill, there was a requirement of the two-third majority, which was easily surpassed as 206 voted in favour in the House, where 216 members were present.
All four members of Shiv Sena, which was also opposed to the Bill, were not present in the House.
The bill, which provides for reservation proportionate to population of SCs and STs, was approved by the Union Cabinet on September 5 against the backdrop of Supreme Court quashing such a decision of the Uttar Pradesh government earlier this year.
Replying to the two-day debate, Minister of State for Personnel V Narayanasamy said the bill seeks to correct the "inadequacy" in representation of SCs/STs in higher positions in government jobs.
To garner maximum support, government incorporated some crucial elements like 22 per cent cap on promotions for which consideration of Annual Confidential Report (ACR) will be crucial.
Reeling out figures, Narayanasamy pointed out that discrimination against the SCs/STs/OBCs continue and they are inadequately represented in the top bureaucracy.
He said quota in promotion existed since 1995 but the decision in Indira Sawhney case put spokes in it.
Arguing that all parties including Samajwadi Party are convinced about social justice, Narayanasamy asked the UPA ally as to why they are opposing reservation in promotion when they accept reservation at the entry level.
RS passes bill for quota in promotions for SCs/STs:
Noting that the Supreme Court has asked for quantifiable data on it, he said, "From our side we are convinced that they are backward per se. Government is committed to provide reservation in promotion. This is commitment of our government and the party. We are for SCs/STs and OBCs."
Leader of the Opposition Arun Jaitley sought an assurance from the government that the amendments will not affect people who have already been promoted since 1995 to which Narayanasamy said the government will write in this regard to state governments so that people who have been promoted are "not adversely affected".
The Bill provides for amendments to Article 16(4) of the Constitution that will allow states to reserve seats in promotion for SCs and STs without collecting data to show the backwardness of class and inadequacy of that class in public appointments.
Samajwadi Party, which is strongly opposed to a bill asked the government to rethink on it, warning that it can have very serious fall-out and may be challenged in court.
Contending that his party is not against quota, Ram Gopal Yadav (SP) said as far as reservation in jobs at the entry level is concerned, it is justifiable but after that people should be treated equally.
His party colleague Naresh Agrawal demanded that the Bill should be referred to Parliamentary Standing Committee to avoid a possible widespread uproar in the country.
Earlier, when the Bill was taken up for consideration last Thursday, high drama was witnessed in the House with SP members creating uproar forcing the Chair to ask two of them to leave.

John Ponte -
Boys' Varsity Basketball
"In a 54-46 win over the Williams School, this guard scored 12 points and had six assists in the game (he plays both the 1 and the 2 guard depending on the situation). He helped the Mariner's to a second half 20 point lead on perhaps the best stretch of basketball we have played all year. His leadership and tough play on both ends of the floor have earned Sophomore Co-Captain John Ponte this week's player of the week."
-Coach Kallas

Niobrara National Scenic River
This 76-mile reach of the Niobrara River in northcentral Nebraska preserves a superb example of a Great Plains river and protects a unique ecological crossroads where six distinct ecosystems and their associated flora and fauna mix.The western third of the Scenic River is home to over two hundred waterfalls -- highest is Smith Falls that plunges sixty-three feet over a sandstone cliff.Many locally-owned ranches are found along the river retaining the valley's rural flavor, yet much of its wild character is preserved. Wildlife abounds: animals such as white-tailed deer, coyote, beaver, mink, bull snakes, soft-shelled turtles, turkeys, herons, and sandpipers are commonly sighted.
