• As Far As I'm Concerned, Fall Is High Season

The Orange County Register The calendar says its autumn, but that's a hard sell in much of the Southwest. October is an odd month out here, where Santa Ana winds turn up the blast furnace that roars through the Southern California mountain passes and down to the sea. Much of the rest of region can still count on days in the 80s. Hard to think of fall when you get T-shirt hot days and shimmery warm nights.

• Dim Bulbs ; California Doesn't Deserve an Energy Bailout

If states could be said to have a death wish, California would seem to qualify. The Golden State's largely self-inflicted energy woes are by now well known. Yet if there is a way to possibly make matters worse, state officials find a way. This time, they're dragging much of the Rocky Mountain region into their problems. Just this week, for instance, the California State Lands Commission -- two of whose three members are prominent Democrats with gubernatorial ambitions -- voted to ban the use of "once- through" water cooling at coastal power plants, claiming the practice of drawing in and discharging sea water is a threat to marine life. The commission declined to estimate what installing alternative cooling systems on new or retrofitted power plants would cost utility ratepayers. But on...

• Calif. Gravel Quarry Plan Divides Residents of San Joaquin Valley

REEDLEY, Calif. - A Mexican cement company's 100-year plan to blast gravel off a mountain at a scenic gateway to Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks has pitted the environmental and cultural interests of San Joaquin Valley ranchers and Native Americans against the economic needs of the region. Cemex, one of the world's largest suppliers of building materials, wants to blast and drill 2 million tons of sand and gravel each year on the southern face of Jesse Morrow Mountain, a western Sierra Nevada peak towering over California 180, about 20 miles southeast of Fresno.

• Strong Winds to Sweep Through Area, Bring High Fire Danger

Potentially damaging high-speed winds - possibly some of the strongest in recent years - are expected to sweep into Southern California beginning this evening and increasing overnight, raising the risk of fire. Some mountain passes could see dangerous gusts of up to 80 mph coming from the northeast, and much of the region could see peak sustained winds of 40 mph. The National Weather Service said the dramatic change in the weather pattern could create the strongest offshore wind storm in the past few years.
