''This is like new money coming into the state of California,'' said Joyce Hayhoe, a spokeswoman for the federal receiver. ''We were getting zero reimbursement before.'' The legislative analyst's higher estimate, used in the Pew report, dates from February and relies on 2-year-old data on inpatient costs. Aaron Edwards, one of the authors of the study, said it used the best available information at the time. City: Odor from Sriracha chili plant a nuisance LOS ANGELES (AP) — The maker of Sriracha hot sauce is under fire for allegedly fouling the air around its Southern California factory. The city of Irwindale filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court Monday asking a judge to stop production at the Huy Fong Foods factory, claiming the chili odor emanating from the plant is a public nuisance. City officials say residents have been complaining of burning eyes, irritated throats and headaches and that some people have had to leave their house to escape the smell. One family was forced to move a birthday party indoors after the strong smell overwhelmed the festivity, Irwindale City Attorney Fred Galante told the Los Angeles Times. Huy Fong initially cooperated with the city, but talks broke down last week after company representatives denied there was an odor problem, saying their employees worked in similar olfactory settings without complaint, Galante said. The city, which is about 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, is seeking temporary closure of the factory until Huy Fong submits a plan to minimize the smell. ''If they fix it and the odor problems stop, we don't need this order; but so far the odor complaints continue,'' Galante said. An after-hours call to the company was not immediately returned. Huy Fong's green-capped chili bottles are hugely popular and are a fixture at restaurants around the world. The first Sriracha Festival held in downtown Los Angeles over the weekend drew hundreds of fans. The condiment's creator, David Tran, was there sporting a T-shirt that said ''I put Sriracha on my Sriracha.''

One downside to the new formula is that it does make multi-year planning difficult, since data collected will affect the school's budget, Grames said. Following the State Board of Education adopting guidelines for expenditure guidelines in January, the timeline will be tight for getting local control accountability plans (LCAPs) put together and adopted on time, McCoy said. Templates to follow will be out in March, preliminary budgets should be done and presented to boards in April and then must go to the county level, in this case the Tehama County Department of Education, he said. It has to be passed and approved at the state level, McCoy said. The plan must be reviewed by community stakeholders as well, he said. "We want to hear everyone's voice at the table for how the money is spent," McCoy said. "We need to start now and have open forums prior to he board budget approval. The conversations aren't just today, CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A new, smaller version of NASA's space shuttle is recuperating from a rough first landing. The Dream Chaser space plane is being designed by Sierra Nevada Corp. It's vying to carry astronauts to and from the International Space Station in four or five more years. The Nevada-based company tested a fullscale model at Edwards Air Force Base in California on Saturday. A helicopter dropped the unmanned craft from 12,500 feet in a first free flight reminiscent of NASA's drop tests of the shuttle prototype Enterprise in the 1970s. Everything worked well for the automated Dream Chaser model until the end, when the left landing gear deployed too late and the test vehicle skidded off the runway. Company space systems chief Mark Sirangelo said Tuesday that damage was minor. The left gear was still attached and the tire wasn't even shredded, he said. The crew cabin area was unscathed — astronauts would have been uninjured, he said. The flight computers never stopped working, and nothing critical was damaged. Sirangelo stressed that the minute-long test flight was a success despite the ending. He said the mishap is likely due to mechanical failure; an investigation is underway. He said it shouldn't hold up plans for a piloted landing test next year. The landing gear is derived from F-5 fighter planes and not the same type that will be used in space. The test vehicle will be repaired and may fly again, Sirangelo told reporters during a teleconference. Calif. parolee charged in shootout with officers ROSEVILLE (AP) — Placer County officials have filed attempted murder charges against a 32-year-old man accused of wounding six police officers during a violent confrontation in a Sacramento suburb last week. Samuel Duran, of Roseville, was charged Tuesday with seven counts of attempted murder of a peace officer and seven counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm on a peace officer. He also faces weapons, burglary and false imprisonment charges. Duran allegedly fired at a Homeland Security officer and Roseville police last Friday when they tried to arrest him as a parolee at large, then barricaded himself inside a home.

As of now, the requirements are that districts adopt a plan on how to spend the money and give a detailed report on expenditures by July 2015. The districts are consulting with Dr. Beckie Bouchard, a former Corning elementary school principal, who was hired in October to be the Local Control Funding Formula specialist. "It's interesting because there's a lot of flexibility," Bouchard said. "At the same time, there's a lot of accountability. They don't call this a year of transition for nothing. It's important to be as smart and accurate as we can." McCoy likened it to being a partnership of holding hands and diving into a pool. "We're all on a continuous learning curve," McCoy said. "We're learning from each other and the Tehama County Department of Education and that's what's going to get us by." The next forum will be on the Smarter Balance assessment and will most likely be held in November or December. For more information visit the Red Bluff Elementary School website: rbuesd.org.

The deadline is the same whether the county approves or rejects the plan so it's important to get it right the first time, McCoy said. Eight things will be looked at including pupil outcomes, credentials/materials, parental involvement, pupil achievement, pupil engagement, school climate, standards adoption and course of study. "One thing being looked at is how effectively we are preparing our students for college and career," McCoy said. "The plan itself will be written and revised every three years and reviewed every year. Most importantly, are students achieving and succeeding?" Brose talked about the plan his school has for Common Core Standard implementation. The district formulated its plan to be a five-year plan, he said. "The pendulum (in education) has swung back toward college and career readiness," Brose said. "It's a brand new smarter balance assessment that is taken online. There's no pen and paper so the state has given extra money to help implement it." Districts will get $200 per student based upon its enrollment numbers, he said.

NASA already is relying on private industry to ship cargo to the space station, a vacancy created by the retirement of the space shuttles in 2011. Until American companies provide a safe spaceship for crews, NASA will continue to fly its astronauts on Russian Soyuz capsules — for hefty prices. THE PASSING PARADE (From an I Say of May 1966) Have you thought much about goats lately? The name has been much maligned. A player responsible for losing a game is often referred to as "the goat". Pro football great Paul Horning was nicknamed "the goat" because of his narrow sloping shoulders. The Billy goat of the comic strips butts the tycoon as he bends over to pick up his hat…and the goat is depicted as spending his time at the garbage dump eating tin cans. However, Anna was none of those things. She was a good and loyal friend. It is true that, given provocation, she would butt Buddy the boxer if he wasn't alert…and she did trim the missus' rose bushes a bit too closely. And yet, if I were to yell "Baaaa" to her down in the grove, she would bleat "Baaaa" back and I would know everything was all right in her department. When she was younger, she would accompany us on our horse rides…and if you've never seen the six of us on assorted horses and ponies being led by a nanny goat as we wandered our way down ranch, then you have just never seen a parade. My father thought l should not "keep such a monstrosity on the ranch". He felt she was unattractive, non-productive and completely worthless, and continued to say as much until I discovered an old photograph of him and his pet goat. There was no further discussion after that But Anna answers my call no more. She went to her reward last Saturday. Dr. Stoufer said it was just old age. She is now buried in the pet cemetery down in the grove along with the rest of our fourlegged pals. So ends the story of Anna, a good friend of the family. *** These have been trying times for the Froome family. Jim Senior, the realtor and former county Sheriff is ailing and trying to stay with us a bit longer with a pacemaker, Barbara, Max's widow, is trying to win the coveted position of County Treasurer, Jim Junior, the Crocker Bank head man, is trying to secure a loan for us at the plant so we can build a new boning room and freezer allowing us to step up our production and our work force. I hope they all succeed in their endeavors. *** Quote from TIME: "Flying doctors have a fatal accident rate four times as high as the average of all other private pilots." Apparently they feel themselves omniscient as do others regardless of their station in life *** L.Boett was alert when she caught me authoring "irresponsible and potentially dangerous statements". Her Letter to The Editor declared that I heaped scorn and ridicule on those that support the local police. That must have been when I suggested those who posted bumper strips avowing their support of the men in blue might be self- serving if ever faced with a traffic violation or worse.
