''We have to focus on the whole picture,'' said John Laird, natural resources secretary. ''A number of agencies and processes deal with water. We've been looking for a way and plan of action to tie them all together.'' Gov. Jerry Brown in May direct- ed the agencies to work together to better sustain the increasingly uncertain water supplies in the state where each region's needs are different. Previously the agencies worked independently to solve problems under the domain of each. Since Brown's directive they've been working on the first draft of the California Water Action Plan to help set policy and define urgent projects over the next five years.

Fewer Americans seek unemployment aid for 3rd week WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits fell 10,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 340,000, a sign that employers are laying off very few workers. The Labor Department said Thursday that the four-week average rose 8,000 to 356,250, the highest since April. The 16-day partial government shutdown and backlogs in California due to computer upgrades inflated the average. Still, a government spokesman said those unusual factors did not affect last week's first-time applications, which appeared to be free of distortions for the first time in two months. Applications are a proxy for layoffs. They have fallen for three straight weeks and are just above the pre-recession levels reached in August. Fewer applications are typically followed by more job gains. But hiring has slowed in recent months, rather than accelerated. The economy added an average 143,000 jobs a month from July through September. That's down from an average of 182,000 in April through June, and 207,000 during the first three months of the year. ''A larger concern remains over firms not willing to accelerate hiring as the lean workforce does not leave much room left for firing,'' said Yelena Shulyatyeva, an economist at BNP Paribas. Nearly 3.9 million people received unemployment benefits in the week ended Oct. 12, the latest data available. That's about 40,000 more than the previous week. But a year ago, more than 5 million people were receiving unemployment aid. Hiring likely weakened even further in October because of the shutdown, which ended on Oct. 16. In addition to government contractors, other companies also likely cut jobs, such as restaurants and hotels located near national parks, which were closed. Some economists are forecasting that job gains in October could be 100,000 or less. Calif. city's bid to close Sriracha plant denied Man behind decision to LOS ANGELES (AP) throats and gives them shoved in your face. The harvest season will — A judge refused Thurs- headaches. blow up The odor lasts for about end in about a week, day to order an immediate halt to production of the 3 1/2 months a year, dur- meaning the smell should whale dies internationally popular hot ing the California jalapeno be gone by the Nov. 22 sauce Sriracha at a Southern California factory that local residents say is stinking up their neighborhoods with pepper and garlic fumes. In rejecting the city of Irwindale's request for a temporary restraining order, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert O'Brien indicated he wasn't given enough time to consider the case. ''You're asking for a very radical order on 24hour notice,'' O'Brien told attorney June Ailin, representing the city. Instead, O'Brien scheduled a Nov. 22 hearing to consider issuing a preliminary injunction. In a lawsuit filed Monday, Irwindale said it had received ''numerous'' complaints from residents who say the smell coming from the Huy Fong Foods plant burns their eyes and pepper harvest season. The company, which produces Sriracha and two other popular sauces, says it grinds up about 100 million pounds of the hottest California-grown hybrid jalapeno peppers it can find. The peppers are mixed with garlic, vinegar, salt and sugar, with the resulting fumes sucked through a filtration system and out through the roof. During harvest season, as many as 40 big-rig trucks a day arrive at the 650,000-square-foot plant in Irwindale, a largely manufacturing town of about 1,400 residents. City officials say complaints started arriving in September, soon after jalapeno harvest season began. Some people downwind have said the effect is like having a big plate of hot peppers hearing — at least until next August. However, City Manager John Davidson said after Thursday's hearing that Huy Fong officials have told the city they are working on developing a better filtration system that they think will kill the smell by next year. ''And that's good news for us,'' he said. ''We are hoping they do.'' Huy Fong Foods was founded by Vietnamese immigrant David Tran, who started making his flaming-hot Sriracha sauce in a bucket in Los Angeles' Chinatown in 1980. As the company rapidly grew, he moved to smaller facilities in Rosemead and, two years ago, to the new, block-long building in Irwindale, where he really began ramping up production this year. CA student agrees to plead guilty to sextortion SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say a Temecula man will plead guilty to hacking the computers of Miss Teen USA and other women as part of a scam to obtain nude photos. City News Service reported Thursday that Jared James Abrahams agreed earlier this month to plead guilty to one count of online sextortion. The 19-year-old computer science student is to appear in court Monday. Prosecutors say they will ask that he be sentenced to as much as 33 months in prison. Authorities say Abrahams told his victims he had obtained nude photos of them by taking over their computers' web cams. He would then threaten to post the photos online if they didn't send him more nude images of themselves. Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf contacted the FBI after she was threatened. Red Bluff Simple Cremations & Burial Service Now Offering Eco-Friendly urns at economy friendly prices. 722 Oak Street, Red Bluff, FD Lic. 1931 527-1732 GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon highway engineer who blew up a dead beached whale with a half-ton of dynamite in 1970 has died at the age of 84. George Thomas Thornton gained national attention over the exploding whale, and the act endured for decades thanks to a video that shows giant pieces of whale carcass splattering across the beach and spectators. Thornton got the call Nov. 12, 1970 to remove a 45-foot-long sperm whale estimated to weigh 8 tons that had washed up near Florence, and had started to stink. At the time, the state Highway Division had jurisdiction over beaches, said Oregon Department of Transportation spokesman Don Hamilton. Thornton was a highly respected engineer who worked 37 years at the agency, he said. Thornton had refused to talk about the exploding whale for many years, once remarking that every time he did, ''it blew up in my face.'' ''I don't think he was trying to be funny,'' said Paul Linnman, who hosts a news show on Portland radio KEX and did the 1970 report for KATU television news that became a staple on YouTube. ''It's just the way he felt.''
