Fifteen fires started on private lands and six started on Klamath National Forest land, according to forest officials.

It was lined all the way around and called contained Saturday afternoon. Crews planned to mop up the fire Sunday. The five other fires burning on the Klamath National Forest were all less than one-half acre. All but one were contained by Sunday. The Haystack fire was discovered late Saturday on the Oak Knoll Ranger District. It was one-quarter acre and burning in rocky terrain. CalFire contained 15 fires at less than one acre.

Koenig did not inform investors that he had a prior federal conviction for mail fraud, which prevented him from getting favorable loan terms for his company. He also did not disclose AREI's dire financial condition. Many of the investors were elderly and placed their life savings or home equity into the securities offered by Koenig. The company's early losses were managed by using the funds of new investors to pay off the original investors.

The bill also seeks to speed up administrative procedures stemming from lawsuits and directs the attorney general to track court filings related to the environmental statute. In the letter sent to Steinberg on Thursday, the CEQA Working Group wrote that the measure as drafted would create new requirements that will lead to meritless lawsuits against projects that otherwise comply with stringent state and local environmental laws. ''Unfortunately, as drafted, SB731 would not advance true CEQA reform and, in fact, could make approval of worthy and responsible projects even more difficult,'' the leaders of several dozen groups wrote. Mark Hedlund, a spokesman for Steinberg, said Monday that he could not immediately comment on the concerns outlined in the letter. He said the Senate leader is continuing to work with interest groups to address concerns and craft a final new councilmember at its Aug. 6 meeting.

In April 2007, AREI stopped making payments to investors, while continuing to solicit and sell securities to new investors. The Ponzi scheme finally failed in the spring of 2008. The case was based on 32 of the more than 400 victims, whose losses exceeded $8 million – version of the bill. ''The pro tem is still optimistic that we'll be able get this done this year,'' he said. Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, has supported changing the environmental law, though he has expressed doubts about whether the reforms could be completed this year. Many environmental groups and labor unions strongly support the existing law and argue that the tough rules are necessary to safeguard the state's natural resources. Gary Toebben, president and CEO of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, said he appreciated Steinberg's efforts to find consensus but insisted the current version of the legislation was not acceptable. The proposal ''does not make the improvements that we were looking for and in some cases makes CEQA even more likely to be abused,'' said Toebben, who serves as co-chairman of the CEQA Working Group. Among the group's concerns are provisions to create statewide standards for noise levels and handling parking issues. The group says it is impractical to address those issues kicked in today, that smoke was added to the mix. "It looks like we got a one-two punch," Mandly said. He said the smoke should lift and dissipate as the afternoon goes on, and that air quality models suggest Tuesday shouldn't be as bad. $3.8 million of which came from investments made after April 2007 – when AREI stopped paying its current investors.

It also is concerned an optional procedure intended to speed up the legal process would actually encourage lawsuits by putting the significant cost of preparing the case record on agencies or developers, giving potential plaintiffs little to lose in filing suit. Other sections of the proposed overhaul provide little or no benefits over current rules, according to the coalition. The group says it would like further changes that would prevent lawsuits and delays for renewable energy projects and those that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Steinberg has said he also aims to streamline approval for such projects. The letter also calls for disclosure of any parties that help pay for a lawsuit filed under the environmental quality law. Steinberg's legislation passed the Senate in May. It is before the Assembly Local Government Committee, where it could be taken up when lawmakers return to session next month. Foreign airlines urged to use GPS at San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Federal aviation officials have advised all foreign airlines to use a GPS system instead of visual reckoning and cockpit instruments when landing at San Francisco International Airport in the wake of the deadly Asiana Airlines crash. The Federal Aviation Administration issued the recommendation on Sunday involving main runways at the airport, saying in a statement that it took the action after noticing an increase in aborted landings at the airport by some foreign carriers flying visual approaches into the airport. Pilots on Asiana Airlines Flight 214 had been cleared to make a visual approach when the plane crash-landed on July 6. Three people died, and 180 others were injured among the 307 aboard the flight that came in too low and too slow, slamming its landing gear into a seawall well before the actual runway. Seconds before the accident, the pilots called for a go-around, meaning they abort a landing and circle for another approach. The FAA said the maneuvers are ''routine, standardized procedures that can occur once a day or more at busy airports for various reasons.'' Last week, for example, Taiwanese carrier EVA Air approached a San Francisco runway too low then aborted the landing and began another approach. The agency said it was investigating that flight. It did not say how many other such incidents have occurred. In clear weather, it's typical for pilots to make a visual approach, using the view through their windshield. They also can use an instrument system called a glide slope indicator, although that has been out of service in San Francisco since June 1 because of ongoing runway improvements. The FAA said all foreign carriers should continue to use alternate instrument approaches until the glide slopes return to service in late August. Nevada's Burning Man fest gets OK for larger crowd RENO, Nev. (AP) — The largest outdoor arts festival in North America is about to become bigger. Federal land managers have issued Burning Man organizers a four-year special recreation permit that allows a peak population of 68,000 on the northern Nevada desert this year. Last year, attendance at the offbeat art and music festival on the Black Rock Desert peaked at 56,000 — below the previous maximum allowable population of 60,900.

He said he's confident that sufficient requirements are in place to protect the starkly beautiful desert's environment and to ensure public safety. ''Our priorities in managing this permit continue to be the protection and conservation of natural and cultural resources, as well as the safety for all participants and staffs,'' Seidlitz said. ''I feel confident the permit addresses these priorities.'' Burning Man spokeswoman Megan Miller hailed the BLM's issuance of the multi-year permit, saying organizers are establishing the first shuttle bus service to the event and making other improvements to Black Rock City's infrastructure to prepare for larger crowds. During the annual weeklong event leading up to Labor Day, the temporary city on the desert about 100 miles north of Reno is one of Nevada's largest.
