Gary Lee Stevens Gary Lee Stevens of Red Bluff died at Lassen House SACRAMENTO (AP) — Democratic legislative leaders announced Wednesday that they plan to move forward with their proposal to address California's $15.7 billion deficit even though Gov. Jerry Brown hasn't signed off on the plan. Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, and Senate Presi- dent Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D- Sacramento, said the Legislature will vote ahead of its Friday con- stitutional deadline to pass a bal- anced budget, while continuing talks with the Brown administra- tion. The leaders said they have come up with a plan that meets Brown's criteria for a structurally balanced SACRAMENTO (AP) — Every- thing is bigger in Texas, the saying goes, and that is now also true of its prison system. nation's largest state prison system, topping 173,000 inmates at its peak in 2006. But since a law took effect last year that shifts responsibility for less serious criminals to county jails, the state has reduced its prison population and is no longer the largest in the nation. California now has fewer than 136,000 state inmates, eclipsed by about 154,000 in Texas. Florida previously was third, according to 2010 figures from the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics, and currently has about 100,000 inmates. California used to have the The reduction in California was ordered by federal judges in a deci- sion backed last year by the U.S. Supreme Court. The courts ruled crowded prisons were causing poor care of sick and mentally ill inmates.

The courts ordered the state to reduce the population by about 33,000 inmates in the state's 33 adult prisons by June 2013, though corrections officials now argue they can provide acceptable inmate care without meeting that deadline. frey Callison, the department's press secretary. larger than the entire 2010 prison population in 37 other states. While the court order focused on prisoner care, Callison said crowd- ing also created other problems. Nearly 20,000 inmates were once jammed into triple bunks in day rooms, gyms and other areas, and more than 9,000 inmates remain in private prisons in other states. With fewer inmates, the prison system can now begin focusing more attention on rehabilitating the inmates that remain, Callison said. However, he noted that the nature of the remaining population is changing. Prisons now have a higher concentration of violent, The 33,000 inmate reduction is anced.'' ''Last year, legislators enacted major reforms that cut spending on prisons and eliminated redevelop- ment,'' Brown said. ''This year, we need additional structural reforms to cut spending on an ongoing basis, including welfare reform that's built on President Clinton's framework and focused on getting people back to work.'' Brown's plan relies on voters in November agreeing to increase the statewide sales tax by a quarter cent for four years and boosting the income tax on people who make more than $250,000 a year for seven years. Democrats approve of that portion of the governor's pro- posal.

Notices will go out later this month to department employees who are at risk of losing their jobs as a result of the historic downsiz- ing. The notices will start a game of musical chairs as employees with more seniority bump other employ- ees for remaining positions, and as employees shift to vacancies within the department and elsewhere in state government. Some will also likely retire or leave state govern- ment entirely. A first round of notices went to 26,000 employees in October, but only 545 were eventually laid off. This time, notices are going to four employees for every one job that will eventually be eliminated. Callison said the number of notices is not yet being made pub- lic, but he estimated it will be in the hundreds. employed 65,000, nearly one of every five state workers. Corrections officials estimate the realignment will save nearly $1.5 billion annually by the time the shift is complete in four years.

A suffix is the ''.com'' part in a domain name. The bids now go through a review that could take months or years. Up to 1,000 suffixes could be added each year. The organization in There were 1,930 pro- posals for 1,409 different suffixes. The bulk of pro- posals that met the May 30 deadline came from North America and Europe. About 100 were for suffixes in non-English characters, including Chi- nese, Arabic and Thai. From a technical stand- point, the names let Inter- net-connected computers know where to send email and locate websites. But they've come to mean much more. For Ama- zon.com Inc., for instance, the domain name is the heart of the company, not just an address. A new suffix could be used to identify sites that have a certain level of security protection. It could be used to create online neighborhoods of businesses affiliated with a geographic area or an industry. French cosmet- ics giant L'Oreal, for instance, proposed ''.beauty'' as a home for beauty products and gen- eral information on per- sonal beauty.

''We're standing at the cusp of a new era of online innova- tion, innovation that means new businesses, new marketing tools, new jobs, new ways to link communities and share information.''
