WASTE Continued from page 1A should be able to meet the governor’s March 4 dead- line, said spokeswoman Margarita Fernandez. Brown asked each watch- dog agency to produce a list and include five recom- mendations that he can implement by executive order. “We received the request, and we’ll move to develop the list,” Fernan- dez said. “We think the audit work we’ve conduct- ed as independent state auditor will be ready to provide the list in the time he wants.” The state auditor is charged with examining agencies to identify poten- tial waste, fraud and mis- management in state gov- ernment. The office also is responsible for investigat- ing whistleblower com- plaints. The Little Hoover Com- mission is charged with investigating state govern- ment operations. It is led by a bipartisan board com- posed of five citizen mem- bers appointed by the gov- ernor and four citizen members appointed by the Legislature, two senators and two Assembly mem- bers. Executive Director Stu- art Drown said commis- sioners will have a chance to discuss ideas next Thursday. The commission has tackled a variety of topics, including prisons, public health and career technical education. Brown is trying to save $363 million in operational costs next fiscal year. He imposed a hiring freeze on a state government work force of 234,000, halted new vehicle purchases by the state and ordered half the 96,000 cell phones issued to state bureaucrats to be turned in. “Although your propos- als often are not heeded, I want to hear and listen to your ideas and act on those that will enable govern- ment to effectively reduce costs and increase efficien- cies,” Brown wrote in his letter to the watchdog agencies. Lawmakers, mean- while, continue to work on Brown’s proposal for a combination of spending cuts and temporary tax extensions. GOP lawmak- ers have so far refused to support putting the tax question before voters. The governor wants a special election in June, meaning lawmakers must act by mid-March. The Assembly and Sen- ate budget committees are expected to complete their own versions of the budget next week before the plans get consolidated into a sin- gle package. University of California at Davis has eliminated from its website a defini- tion of religious discrimination that offended more than two dozen Christian students. The wording to which the stu- dents objected defined religious dis- crimination in the United States as “institutionalized oppressions toward those who are not Christian.” It appeared in an online glossary to a “Principles of Community” diversity statement to which students and students groups at Davis were asked to pledge their commitment. The statement dates back to 1990, DOGS Continued from page 1A herd-type dog and a third dog of unknown breed, the sheriff’s release said. The pit bull had a large amount of blood on his outer coat, which was believed to be from the killed or injured livestock. The ranch employee shouted at the dogs during the attack and they fled the area. Having only 42 head of cattle on his small ranch, Hyrcenko lost three bulls and a calf, he said.

As CHP officers were enroute about 10:15 a.m. to reports of King driving recklessly at a high rate of speed, King crossed into the south- bound lane, crashing into Esmile Abdulla’s Ford Ranger, Hurton said.

Spanish services are available, including bilin- gual volunteers and forms in both Spanish and Eng- lish, he said. Northern Valley Catholic Social Services and Shasta College Tehama Campus have sup- ty “chewed up” and may not survive. With cattle prices at between $700 and $1,000 a head, Hyrcenko stands to lose as much as $6,000 worth of livestock, he said. “It’s not insignificant,” Hyrcenko said. Other ranchers have lost even more cattle than Hyrcenko. Judy Ramos, a cattle rancher near Battle Creek Canyon where Gordon’s livestock were killed, said the majority of the attacks were at her neighbors’ property. They’ve lost nearly 10 cattle and some are still missing. Ramos could some- times hear the attacks. However, since it can be too dark in the canyon, she and her neighbors were unable to catch and stop the attacking dogs. The dogs ripped off the cows’ ears, mangled their genitals and tore at their tails, Ramos said. The sheriff’s depart- ment is investigating the deaths, but don’t know who owns the attacking dogs, the release said. The dogs’ owners have to know about it when the dogs come back bloody and tired, Ramos said. It will be a relief to everyone in the area when the responsible dogs are which sideswiped his, the left front of both vehicles making contact, Hurton said. After crashing into Abdulla’s vehicle on 99W south of Sister Mary Columba Drive, near the Friendly Acres Mobile Home Park entrance, King continued driving northbound recklessly at high rates of speed, Hurton said. According to the statements of witnesses who followed her, King ran a red light and was driving on a flat tire with speeds as high as 80 mph, Hurton said.

Brown received $405,000 for inauguration SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown received about $405,000 in donations for his inau- gural celebration, more than four times the amount his transition team had planned to spend. The state Fair Political Practices Commission says Brown raised $340,000 from 68 donors who each contributed $5,000. Among those NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks finished higher Thursday after a strong manufacturing report over- shadowed a bigger than expected rise in the number of people applying for unemployment benefits. The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia said its index of manufacturing in the mid-Atlantic region nearly doubled between January and February. The surge in manufacturing was enough to offset a Labor Department report that applications for unemploy- ment benefits rose 25,000 from the previous week. The Dow Jones industri- al average rose 29.97 points, or 0.3 percent, to 12,318.1. The Dow has been rising but the university’s Office of Cam- pus Community Relations estimates the definition was added six or seven years, campus spokesman Julia Ann Easley said Thursday. The office took down the 77-term glossary on Wednesday after the Arizona-based Alliance Defense Fund, a conservative legal aid group, notified UC Davis Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi that the language on reli- gious discrimination violated the constitutional rights of Christian stu- dents who had complained to the organization. “If everyone is protected under a religious discrimination provision giving at Brown’s behest were the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, California new car dealers, con- sumer attorneys and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. The remainder was in-kind con- tributions for food and drinks. Brown was sworn in Jan. 3 at Sacramento’s Memorial Auditori- um. His team hosted an inaugural reception at the California State Railroad Museum. Spokesman Steven Glazer says the transition team had expected to spend less $100,000, but was still tallying expenses. Glazer says whatever money is not used will be donated to a non- profit. Stocks pull higher on strong manufacturing report Wall Street steadily this month, with only three down days in February. For the month, it’s already up 3.6 percent. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 4, or 0.3 per- cent, to 1,340.43. The Nas- daq composite rose 6, or 0.2 percent, to 2,831.58. ‘‘The initial jobless claims data look disappoint- ing,’’ said Anthony Chan, chief economist at JPMor- gan Private Wealth Man- agement. ‘‘But from a longer-term perspective we’re seeing a pickup in employment.’’ Chan said the most recent data appears bad UC Davis removes Web wording that upset Christians SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The except for Christians, that is in itself discriminatory,” fund attorney David French said Thursday. French said he found the choice of words ironic, since he thinks Christian students are at higher risk of bias on public college campuses than students from other religious backgrounds. In a letter to ADF sent on Kate- hi’s behalf, Associate Executive Vice Chancellor Rahim Reed, who heads the campus relations office, said that as far as he knew the glos- sary definition had never been used to address any cases of alleged dis- crimination.

But that was partly a result of winter weather in many parts of the country that closed government offices and kept people from applying for benefits. The government also reported that consumer prices in January were slightly higher than fore- cast, largely a result of ris- ing food and gas prices. The Consumer Price Index rose 0.4 percent. The core index, which excludes food and energy costs, looked rela- tively tame, rising 0.2 per- cent. Forecasters had expected to see the price index rise 0.3 percent last month, and the core index inch up 0.1 percent.
