U.S. El Nio Forecast Impacts Us

By Jillian MacMath, Accuweather
Since the first indication that a powerful El Nio wasset to
develop, there has been significant specula-tion about what impacts
it would have withinthe United States.
El Nio is defined by above-normal sea sur-face temperatures in
the eastern and centralequatorial Pacific Ocean.
Occurring every two to five years, ElNio's most significant
effects on NorthAmerica occur during the wintertime.
However, the resulting weather variesdepending on where the warm
water tem-peratures are centered.
"Confidence continues to grow that thisEl Nio will be one of the
stronger ElNios over the past 50 years," accordingto AccuWeather
Meteorologist Brett An-derson.
Expected to mimic a similar pattern as thewinter of 1997-1998,
this year's El Niocould mean big impacts to California and
theeastern half of the United States.
The most likely, and most impactful, scenarioduring this winter
is that California will get significantprecipitation in the form of
both rain and snow.
"California will be much more active weather-wise this win-
ter than last winter," AccuWeather Meteorologist Ben Noll
said.Copious amounts of rain from systems over the same
area, a theme which occurs often during this type ofweather
pattern, can lead to problems for Cali-
fornia.Locals may be faced with flooding andmudslides, which
could prove devastating
for home and property owners. This willbe especially problematic
over recentburn scar areas, where rampant wild-fires have charred
millions of acres.
These false-color images providedby NASA satellites compare warm
Pa-cific Ocean water temperatures fromthe strong El Nino that
brought NorthAmerica large amounts of rainfall in1997, left, and
the current El Nino asof Oct. 1, 2015, right. Warmer ocean
water that normally stays in the westernPacific, shown from
cooler to warmer as
lighter orange to red to white areas, moveseast along the
equator toward the Americas.
Evidence is mounting that the El Nino ocean-warming phenomenon
in the Pacific will spawn
a rainy winter in California, potentially easing thestates
punishing drought but also bringing the risk of
chaotic storms like those that battered the region in the
late
Talk about a spooky Halloween!On October 31st, Asteroid 2015
TB145 is expected to come closer to Earth than any-
thing this size since July 2006.The sizable chunk of rock is
flying through space at speeds of over 126,000 km/h
(78,293 mph) right now. Discovered just 10 days ago, the
asteroid has caught NASA'sattention, as they describe it as
"eccentric" and "cometary in nature."
So what exactly is an asteroid any ways?
Spread the WordAccording to NASA, an asteroid is a relatively
small, inactive, rocky body orbiting
the Sun.While these terms may sound alarming, not to worry!
Remember that all of this infor-
mation is relative and Armageddon is not around the corner. The
asteroid will miss Earthby 1.3 lunar distances, which equals out to
about 499,000 km (310,000 miles).

Far and away the best prize that lifehas to offer is the chance
to work hard at
work worth doing. "Theodore RooseveltINSPIRATION
Thought of the DayDeep within a forest a little turtle began
toclimb a tree. After hours of effort he
reached the top, jumped into the air wavinghis front legs and
crashed to the ground.After recovering, he slowly climbed the
tree
again, jumped, and fell to the ground.The tur-tle tried again
and again while a couple of birds sit-
ting on a branch watched his sad efforts. Finally, thefemale
bird turned to her mate. Dear, she chirped, I
think its time to tell him hes adopted.
Houses had thatched roofs, thick straw piled high, with no wood
underneath.It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all
the cats and other smallanimals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof.
When it rained it became slippery andsometimes the animals would
slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying "It'sraining cats and
dogs."
Didnt Know This
CINDERELLA is now 95years old. After a fulfilling life with
the
now dead prince, she happilysits upon her rocking chair,watching
the world go by fromher front porch, with a catnamed Bob for
companion-ship.
One sunny afternoon out ofnowhere, appeared the
fairygodmother.
Cinderella said, "Fairy God-mother, what are you doinghere after
all these years"? Thefairy godmother replied, " Cin-derella, you
have lived an ex-emplary life since I last sawyou. Is there
anything forwhich your heart still yearns?"
Cinderella was taken aback,overjoyed, and after somethoughtful
consideration, sheuttered her first wish:
"The prince was wonderful,but not much of an investor.
I'm living hand to mouth onmy disability checks, and Iwish I
were wealthy beyondcomprehension. Instantly herrocking chair turned
into solidgold.
Cinderella said, "Ooh, thankyou, Fairy Godmother"
The fairy godmother replied,"It is the least that I can do.
What do you want for yoursecond wish?" Cinderellalooked down at
her frail body,
and said, "I wish I were youngand full of the beauty andyouth I
once had."
At once, her wish becamereality, and her beautifulyoung visage
returned. Cin-derella felt stirrings inside ofher that had been
dormant foryears. And then the fairy god-mother spoke once
more:"You have one more wish;what shall it be?"
Cinderella looks over to thefrightened cat in the cornerand
says, "I wish for you totransform Bob, my old cat,into a kind and
handsomeyoung man."M a g i -c a l l y ,Bob sud-denly un-derwent
sofundamental achange in hisbiological make-up that, when he
stoodbefore her, he was a manso beautiful the likes of himneither
she nor the world hadever seen.
The fairy godmother said,"Congratulations, Cinderella,enjoy your
new life." With ablazing shock of bright blueelectricity, the fairy
godmotherwas gone as suddenly as sheappeared.
For a few eerie moments,
Bob and Cinderellalooked into eachother's eyes. Cin-derella sat,
breath-
less, gazingat them o s tbeautiful,
stunninglyp e r -f e c tm a n
she hade v e r
seen. Then Bob
walked overto Cinderella,
who sat transfixed in herrocking chair, & held herclose in
his young musculararms. He leaned in close,blowing her golden
hairwith his warm breath as hewhispered...
"Bet you're sorry youneutered me."
You might be surprisedby how many popularmovie quotes and
popu-lar concepts you're remember-ing just a bit wrong.
'the Wizard of oz' Though most people say
'Looks like we're not in Kansasanymore,' or 'Toto, I don't
thinkwe're in Kansas anymore,' thosequotes aren't quite
right.Dorothy actually says 'Toto, I'vea feeling we're not in
Kansasanymore.'
'the Silence of the Lambs'If you've always thought Han-
nibal Lecter greets Clarice bysaying 'Hello, Clarice,' we'vegot
news for you. It's actually'Good evening, Clarice.' Howpolite!
'field of dreams'That whispering voice? It's
not quietly murmuring 'If youbuild it, they will come.'
The correctquote is 'Ifyou build it,
he will come.'
'Snow White and the Sevendwarfs'
The Queen says 'Magic mirroron the wall, who is the fairestone
of all?' Most people thinkit's 'Mirror, mirror on the wall' ...and
most people are incorrect.
'Wall Street'Though Gordon Gekko defi-
nitely thinks greed is good, hisquote is actually 'Greed, for
lackof a better word, is good.'
'the empire Strikes Back'This might blow your mind,
but when Vader reveals his trueidentity to Luke, he does not
say'Luke, I am your father.' He ac-tually says 'No, I am your
fa-ther.'
How many of these quoteshave you been saying wrong?I'm banning
Plastic Bags...no
it was I'm planning GastricTags!
Save Bolsa Chica...no is wasDave, look, a big ass cheetah!
Global or local...many his-heard moments have been lifechanging
take for example themost famous, Global Warm-ing... Al Gore
actually said...Iwish I could invent a Mobil toi-let warmer.

1990s. In the clearest warning yetthat Southern California could
be duefor a deluge, meteorologists said in areport last week that
the alreadystrong El Nino has a 95 percentchance of lasting through
the winterbefore weakening in the spring.(NASA via AP)
However, it won't all be bad. Cal-ifornia is expected to receive
much-needed mountain snow, which isnecessary to fill reservoirs in
thespring.
According to AccuWeather Ex-pert Long-Range Forecaster
PaulPastelok, the 2015-2016 seasonmay yield triple the amount of
snowthan that which fell last year in thecentral and northern
mountains.
This will allow locals to breathe asigh of relief since April 1
measure-ments revealed snowpack across theSierra Nevada was at its
lowestlevel in 500 years.
"The current deficit is too largefor this winter to end the
drought,"according to Noll. "But this wouldcertainly put a dent in
it."
On the opposite coast, the North-east and Southeast will also
helpbear the brunt of El Nio's effects.
Above-average storminess willgreet cities such as Boston,
NewYork City, Philadelphia, Newportand Raleigh, but the million
dollarquestion remains: In what form willthe precipitation
fall?
The weather pattern threatens to
send chilly air masses into the East-ern U.S., which could
result in acorridor of snow from Texas up intothe spine of the
Appalachians.
However, the wild card will bewhether the timing of the cold
airmatches up with the timing of theprecipitation.
"If so, there could be a few bigstorms that blow our forecasts
outof the water," Noll said. "That's arisk right there."
While it's a precarious positionfor the mid-Atlantic and
Northeast,there's a good deal of certainty thatthe Great Lakes
region will get lesslake-effect snow than usual.
Climatologically, some of the dri-est years on record have
occurredduring El Nio years, according toNoll. Less lake-effect
snow is typi-cal, especially for the upper lakes.
Farther south, forecasters are con-cerned El Nio will lead to
excep-tional storminess.
"These big storms that will bebarreling across the southern
Plainsand Southeast often drag fairly im-pressive cold fronts
across the GulfCoast," Noll said.
"Once they head into Florida, youcan be talking about explosive
thun-derstorms and very heavy rainfall."
Additionally, El Nio may pro-long the drought across the
interiorNorthwest and promote milder dayswith less snow across much
of thenorthern tier of the country.

Brandon Turkus sites a report that might not include driving in
SoCalat least not in the HB, FV, Westminster markets...in my
opinion..."Cars are easier to drive than they've ever been before,
but men are still
more likely to be killed behind the wheel than women. That's
accordingto the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's
analysis of datafrom the 2012 Fatality Analysis Reporting System
and the General Esti-mates System.
More than twice as many men were killed behind the wheel in 2012
23,808 men were killed, compared to 9,733 women due in part to
thefact that they cover more miles each year. On top of that, men
are morelikely to drive drunk, with nearly a quarter of fatal male
crashes involvinga driver with a blood-alcohol content above 0.08
compared to about 15percent of women.
It's not all good for women, though. Aside from age groups from
fiveto nine and over 74, females have a higher injury rate than
men, with 768injury crashes for every 100,000 female drivers.
Still, as Vox points out, fatality and injury rates are
declining steadily,even though the difference in male/female
fatalities remains the same.
Men/Women DriversThis Might Surprise You

EDITORIAL
The information contained in this column does not necessarily
reflect the opinion of The Local News.
By Jon Fleischman
For many years, themost extreme ele-ments of the envi-ronmental
movementpursued a statewide ban onplastic grocery bags
inCalifornia. Every timethey would do this, despite
the overwhelming liberal majorities in the statelegislature,
their efforts would fail.
Over and over the arguments on the junk-sci-ence behind defaming
the bags, the negative eco-nomic impacts of a ban, and the
impressivepolitical coalition opposing the ban combined tokill the
effort.
Until last year, that is, when something hap-pened.
The California Grocers Association (CGA),
which had been a key member of the coalitionstopping the ban
from passing for many years,threw its full weight behind SB 270,
which addedto the statewide ban on standard plastic grocerybags a
ten-cent "fee" (read: TAX) on each paperbag and thicker plastic bag
provided to customers.The profits from those fees will go to-you
guessedit-the grocers.
To put it bluntly, the greed of the grocers couldnot resist the
idea of a windfall that would seethem gaining brand new tax-free
profits that couldapproach a half-billion dollars annually.
The legislation, backed by the CGA, passed outof the legislature
and was signed by GovernorJerry Brown. However, the American
ProgressiveBag Alliance immediately set about the task ofcollecting
over 800,000 signatures to refer SB270 to the voters. The State
Constitution providesthat if enough voters sign petitions, they can
halta newly-enacted law, and then that law has to ap-pear before
voters on the next general electionballot. If voters approve it,
the law goes into ef-fect. If they reject it, the law is repealed.
SB 270,the statewide plastic bag ban combined with theten-cent per
paper/thicker plastic bag tax, will beup before voters next
November.
No doubt grocers have been salivating over theopportunity to
reap hundreds of millions of dol-lars of profits from their unholy
alliance with ex-treme environmentalists.
Except that there is now a very real possibilitythat they will
never see the anticipated 30 piecesof silver which they covet-in
fact it's very possibletheir greed might cost them big bucks
instead.
This is where things get a little more compli-cated, but I'm
counting on you to stick with meas I talk about a brand new
development that thegreedy grocers could not have seen coming.
A couple of weeks ago the American Progres-
sive Bag Alliance, the same group that spent sev-eral million
dollars gathering signatures for thereferendum on SB 270, filed a
petition to placeyet another ballot measure before voters,
entitledthe Environmental Tax Protection Act. If passedby the
voters, it would require that the ten-centpaper/thicker plastic bag
tax collected under SB270 be redirected to an environmental
purpose.
Specifically, this new measure would requirethat those hundreds
of millions of taxes be de-posited into a state Environmental and
Enhance-ment Fund that is administered by the StateWildlife
Conservation Board. These funds wouldthen be available for
legitimate environmentalgrants (e.g., drought mitigation projects,
recy-cling).
It doesn't take a rocket scientist, or a sophisti-cated
political analyst, to figure that the public, ifforced to pay a tax
at grocery stores, would far
more prefer that the money go to a public benefitthan simply to
profit major grocery chains. Espe-cially when they learn during
next fall's campaignthe self-dealing role that the California
GrocersAssociation actually played in the process.
Based on the timeline involved with the quali-fication of a
ballot measure, the American Pro-gressive Bag Alliance will be able
to startgathering signatures for this new measure in earlyDecember,
which will afford them more thanenough time to gather the necessary
signatures toplace this measure on the November ballot.
That leaves the members of the California Gro-cers Association
in quite the conundrum. Beforethis new twist their path was clear:
shell out tensof millions of dollars to help pass SB 270 at
theballot. A great investment given the huge, perma-nent financial
windfall for their members.
But now you have to wonder if the play for thegrocers might
actually be to spend big bucks todefeat SB 270 at the ballot box.
Not only wouldthe new ballot measure divert their windfall to
apublic environmental purpose, but it is actuallythe case that
paper and thicker plastic bags costthe store more than traditional
plastic bags, sogrocers would be forced either to jack up
theoverall price of goods just to cover that cost, ortake a
significant financial loss. A loss that couldeven further impact
the already troubled Safeway-Albertson's IPO delayed earlier this
week.
For those of us who watched the CaliforniaGrocers Association
"turn" on the customers ofall of their stores, and who enjoy the
convenienceof plastic bags, there is a de-licious irony in this
turn ofevents.This column originally ap-
peared on Breitbart.com/Cal-ifornia.

1924: Friends in Ohio enjoytheir new ride.
The State ofAmerican Savings
Accounts at a Glance
Brian Patrick Byrne of AOL makes a deposit inthe world of
shocking Savings..."Sixty-twopercent of Americans have less than
$1,000 ina savings account.
Just 29 percent have a savings account balance ofover $1,000,
and another 28 percent admit they haveno savings at all, according
to a survey of 5,006Americans.
One in five people simply do not have a savings ac-count, but of
the ones who do, the most common bal-ance exceeds $10,000, at 14
percent, followed by 5percent who have saved between $5,000 and
$9,999,9.9 percent who have saved $1,000 to $4,999, and 13percent
who have less than $1,000 in savings.
Women are more likely than men to save a smalleramount of money,
selecting the answers "less than$1,000 or "just the minimum balance
requirement"more often than their male counterparts. Similar
num-bers of men and women report savings balances of$1,000 up to
$9,999, but nearly 60 percent more menthan women report a savings
balance over $10,000(16.4 percent to 10.4 percent,
respectively)."
No More Tipping?
Sierra Tishgart -Grubb Street sets a tablefor us that begs the
question..."If anyonecan successfully abolish the
hospitalityindustry's long tradition of tipping and trans-form the
financial future of restaurants, it'sDanny Meyer. In an interview
with Eater'sRyan Sutton, Meyer outlines hisplan to eliminatetipping
at everysingle one of hisUnion Square Hos-pitality concepts,over
the course ofone year, and raisehis menu prices aspart of a system
thathe's calling "hospital-ity included."
The first restaurantto implement thechange will be theModern:
The cost of
each dish will go up30 to 35 percent (toaccount for whatMeyer
calls a "laborof wrong"), there willbe a note on the menuabout the
new policy,and, unlike Per Se,there will be no spacefor guests to
write in additional tips. Andsince adding a "service charge" has
trippedup restaurateurs Keller got slapped witha $500,000 fine
"hospitality included"will benefit every single staffer employedby
his company. It will allow Meyer toproperly pay low-earning cooks,
whowon't benefit much at all by New York's in-crease of the minimum
wage.
The new starting salaries for Meyer's em-ployees are as follows:
At least $11 per hourfor back-of-the-house staffers, $14 per
hourfor cooks, $9 per hour for dining-room staff
and, writes Sutton, "all staffers who arecurrently tipped will
see their base incomefortified by a revenue share program."
Even-tually, salaried employees will receivemore money, too,
and
overall, pay-ment will better reflect merit and
seniority.Meyer realizes that, psychologically, diners
might feel stripped of their sense of autonomy.He muses that,
down the road, there will besome kind of online-feedback system
that willallow customers to praise, or bemoan, an ex-perience more
effectively. (Nick Kokonasshould take note.)
"Fundamentally, the cost of going out to afine-dining restaurant
is false," Meyer says. "Ifeel that the prices on menus, for a
restaurantthat's really trying to offer good value, don'taccurately
express the true picture of what itcosts for the people to make
that happen."

Ill Have a Mocha, Frappe, Decaf Latte-!They must have been
working late one night, The DailyMeal Staff...calling all
BARISTA'S..."How do you takeyour coffee? This may seem like a
simple question, butthe answer has more meaning behind it than you
realize.
Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world. Themain
reason may be because of the taste, but everyone takestheir coffee
differently. This gives it the ability to be enjoyedby all sorts of
people, resulting in different orders gaining theirown reputation.
Long story short: Theres a lot of things yourcoffee order says
about you.
Take your coffee black? Your barista might be scared of
you.Fluff it up with toppings and whipped cream? Starbucks
goldmembers are thinking youre a rookie.
Heres what your coffee order says about you.
BLaCk or With nothing added
You dont mess around. The reason people add cream orsugar to
their coffee is because they cant handle its dark,strong, and
bitter taste. Because of this, black coffee has ob-tained a
stereotype that its consumed by fast-paced people inthe work force,
looking for their next caffeine fix. So, whosthe stereotypical
drinker of a black coffee? The New Yorker.
LatteS
The latte drinker falls somewhere between the seriouscoffee
drinkers and the amateur. They have the abilityto enjoy a drink
that tastes like coffee or actually resemblessomething like it,
but, they still need a little milk added totake the edge off. Latte
drinkers know their balance, butthat comes with a price. Theres a
reason theyre called alatte: They cost a latte. (Too much?)
moCha, frappe, or other deSSert drinkS
One word: amateur. This drink order is the polar oppo-site of a
black coffee, giving it the opposite stereotype.If you walk into a
Starbucks and order a Carmel Mochawith extra caramel, you might as
well take a trip down thestreet to your local diner and order a
milkshake. Take amoment, think about your order, and answer this
question:Does it resemble a milkshake in any way, shape, or form?In
the answer is yes, stick to the dessert menu."

Play the game right. Respect the game.Dont show up your
opponent. These areamong the Unwritten Rules of baseball thatare
handed down from one
generation of ballplayers to the next. But what, specifically,do
they mean?
In the seventh inning of the fifth game of the
best-of-fiveAmerican League Division Series against the Texas
Rangers,Toronto Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista crushed a
three-run homer off Sam Dyson. The blast propelled Toronto to
theLeague Championship Series for the first time in 22 years.
After his titanic shot, Bautista emphatically flipped or
moreaccurately, heaved - his bat in the air before embarking on
amostly restrained tour of the bases. Baseball
traditionalistscringed. Bautista was vilified for violating
baseballs Unwrit-ten Rules, although exactly which one was a matter
of somedebate. Did the bat flip disrespect the game? Show up the
op-ponent?
Neither, according to Bautista. After I hit the ball, I
dontreally remember a whole lot about what happened until I
kindacame back to the dugout. I wasnt doing anything to
disrespectthe game or the opponent, he said. I didnt plan it. Im
notgonna apologizeI enjoyed it.
And why shouldnt he, especially given the circumstances? Why
should a spon-taneous celebration by a player be taboo? After all,
we arent talking about a fu-neral, but a game. Not surprisingly,
Dyson didnt agree. "Jose needs to calm thatdown, just kind of
respect the game a little more," Dyson said after the game."Hes a
huge role model for the younger generation thats coming up playing
thisgame, and I mean hes doing stuff that kids do in Wiffle ball
games and backyardbaseball. It shouldnt be done."
Not only are kids doing that stuff in the backyard, they see
athletes in othersports the NBA, NHL, NFL, MLS, among others -
doing it on television. Play-ers in those sports are allowed to
cultivate their own style, which creates fans of
the player and the league. MLB has seen how other leagues allow,
nee encourage,players to express themselves and didnt hesitate to
take advantage of the moment,using its official twitter account to
publicize Bautistas bat flip.
Self-expression in MLBhas historically been con-sidered
unprofessional,not part of the culture ofthe game. When
JackieRobinson integrated thegame, bringing with himthe unique
base-runningstyle that was prevalent inthe Negro Leagues,
tradi-tionalists were offended.Today, MLB clubhousesinclude more
players fromLatin America and evenAsia, where bat flips andother
forms of celebra-tions are, well, celebrated.
Both benches emptiedafter Bautistas antics, an
indication of the divergent opinions on celebrations in the
game. But solemnityin baseball should not be de rigueur. Players
should be free to exhibit raw emotion,just as fans do. Bautistas

In honor of the anniversary of one of Walt Disney's greatest
accomplish-ments, Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, we thought
we'd sharea few interesting facts about the elusive man that
brought us the happiestplace on earth.
For a man who defined the childhoods of generations across the
globe,Walt Disney led a relatively secretive existence. Even to
this day, basic de-tails of his quotidian life remain shrouded in
mystery. So, to commemoratethe man who inspired millions, we've
compiled a list of the most interestingthings you may not know
about the man, the myth: Walt Disney.
1. disney is frenchThough his parents were Irish-Canadian
immigrants, his heritage is
deeply French. Disney was a descendant of Robert d'Isigny, a
Frenchmanwho came to England with William the Conqueror in 1066.
"Disney" wasan anglicization of the more musical "d'Isigny." The
swarthy Disney evenbears a resemblance to the Norman king.
2. he Was obsessed With trainsDuring part of his childhood,
Disney's family lived in Marceline, Mis-
souri, a small farm town that served as a stopover for the
Atchison, Topekaand Santa Fe Railway. Apart from developing an
interest in sketching farmanimals, Disney enjoyed killing time
putting his ear to train rails to listenfor oncoming
locomotives.
In 1949, he purchased a large compound at 355 N. Carolwood Drive
inLos Angeles' Holmby Hills neighborhood. In what is probably the
mostelaborate midlife crisis to date, Disney installed a
one-eighth-sized steamtrain and half mile of tracks on the
property. The route looped around theperimeter of the house and was
named theCarolwood Pacific Railroad.
Disney would spend hours taking hisdaughters' friends on
countless rides onthe rail. He built a large garage to housethe
steam train, which also served as hispersonal workroom. Those rides
on theCPR were some of the early inspirationsfor Disneyland.
3. everyone thought Snow WhiteWould Be a failure
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs wasDisney's first full-length
feature film.When industry chiefs learned of his plansto produce a
feature, they scoffed at theostensibly absurd idea, donning it
"Dis-ney's Folly." The project went into fullproduction in 1934,
and continued till1937, when it ran out of money. Disneywas forced
to screen a rough cut of thefilm to potential investors to ensure
fund-ing.
Released in 1937 by RKO Radio Pic-tures, Snow White became the
most suc-cessful movie of the year, earning $8million on its
initial release (just over$130 million in today's figures).
4. he Was a SmokerMondadori via Getty Images(Photo by Mondadori
Portfolio via Getty
Images)Though he never allowed himself to smoke in front of
children and was
rarely photographed indulging, Disney was a lifelong toker. His
nicotinevice probably led to his death at age 65 from lung
cancer.
5. during WWii, disney produced anti-german propaganda moviesIn
1943, Disney released Der Fuehrer's Face, an animated short
starring
one of the company's brightest stars, Donald Duck, as a
disgruntled factoryworker in Nazi Germany. One in a series of
anti-German propaganda proj-ects, the cartoon also was designed to
sell war bonds. The short receivedan Academy Award and became noted
for its original title song.
6. disney Was a right-WingerDisney was a founding member of the
right-wing, anti-communist group
the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of
AmericanIdeals. The group was seminal in the formation of the
Holly-wood blacklist. In 1947, at the height of the Red Scare,
Disneytestified before the House Un-American Activities
Committee,during which he named several animators and producers
asactive communists. Sounds like the century's most
belovedchildhood icon was closer to Roger Ailes than Mister
Rogers.
7. people Were Supposed to Live at epCotWhile planning the East
Coast version of his successful
L.A.-based theme park, Disney envisioned the construction ofa
futuristic town for the park's workers and family. He namedhis
planned city Experimental Prototype Community of To-morrow. Though
he died before its opening, his brother RoyDisney made sure to
fulfill his vision of EPCOT as a livingworld's fair.
8. his head Wasnot Cryogenicallyfrozen
Contrary to popularbelief, the mediamogul's head was notsevered
from hiscorpse, cryogenicallyfrozen, and storedunder the Pirates
ofthe Caribbean ride atDisneyland. Accord-ing to his wishes,
Dis-ney was cremated,and his ashes were in-terred at Forest
LawnMemorial Park inGlendale, California.The icy rumors aretraced
back to a cabalof Disney animators
with a dark sense of humor playing a crazy prank on their
onetime boss.

Letters: Muslims Helping Muslims?
With respect to your cartoons [Opinion, Sept. 6] about
Europeanspassing the buck on migrants, I would like to draw
attention torich Muslim countries that are doing the same or worse
by ignor-ing the refugee crisis.While we watch the misery of
refugees going to Europe, and human traf-
fickers profiting off that misery, why are we not asking our
allies therich Arab gulf states to accept refugees and fund their
well-being ratherthan funding the terrorist groups in Syria and
Iraq that are causing thismass exodus from those countries?Why isnt
the United Nations demanding the rich Arab countries take
care of fellow Arabs in need? Doesnt the Quran ask fellow
Muslims to takecare of the poor and the needy? Why are the Muslims
in America, Europeand elsewhere not asking the rich Arab countries
to take care of therefugees? The silence is deafening.

After four years of drought, wehave hope for some relief.Theres
an approximately 95
percent chance that astrong El Nio will
continue throughwinter 2015-16, po-tentially bringingheavy rain
to South-ern California, ac-cording to theClimate PredictionCenter
(CPC).
The Orange County Water District(OCWD; the District) has done an
ex-cellent job as steward of our groundwa-ter supply, navigating us
through somerecent tough times. The basin providesabout 2/3 of the
water for 2.4 millionpeople in north and central OrangeCounty. Its
available storage area is cur-rently only 24 percent fullstill
withinnormal levels but the basin needs to berefilled. OCWD is
preparing to captureas much stormwater as possible fromthe Santa
Ana River (SAR) to help off-set the depletion of the
groundwaterbasin.
One of the Districts original direc-tives when it was created in
1933 wasto protect Orange Countys water rightsof Santa Ana River
flows. OCWDsmanagement of SAR water begins farupstream in the San
Bernardino Moun-tains and an area behind Prado Dam inRiverside
County. That region behind Prado Dam is keyto catching and holding
as much stormwater as possibleand the District has partners who
will help it do so.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) isresponsible
for providing flood risk management on theSanta Ana River and owns
and operates the Prado Dam.
The Corps and OCWD have been working together formany years on
water conservation programs to condition-ally store stormwater
behind the dam.
Based on a Memorandum of Agreement, the Corps tem-porarily
impounds water behind Prado Dam to specificwater surface
elevations. From September to February, theCorps will store water
to elevation 498 feet (up to 3 billiongallons), and to elevation
505 feet (up to 7 billion gallons)the remainder of the year.
In recent years, OCWD has been working even moreclosely with the
Corps to increase these water surface el-evations so that
additional stormwater can be captured atPrado Dam and recharged
into the Orange County
Groundwater Basin. OCWD is planning to utilize an ad-ditional
10,000 acre-feet of storage capacity at Prado Dam
for this winter, andsuccessive winters.This will help
OrangeCounty recover from thedrought if above average rainfall
doesindeed occur.
During the flood season, OCWD and staff in the Corps'Reservoir
Regulation section, collaborate, sometimes ona daily basis. They
coordinate releases from the dam atrates consistent with the
primary purpose of the dam forflood risk management, but which also
allow OCWD todivert the supply into recharge facilities
downstream.OCWD uses inflatable rubber dams to divert the waterinto
our recharge facilities. Slow and steady storms areoptimal for
capture and release.
OCWD is currently supporting legislation (S. 1894) toupdate the
Corps weather forecastingmanuals to improve dam reservoir
op-erations and a bill (H.R. 813) thatwould aid in storing
additional water at
Prado Dam through modernizing weather and runoff
fore-casting.
You might be interested in reviewing the November 6WACO (Water
Advisory Committee of Orange County)meeting that discussed this
very topic. You can access itat

One El Nio will not completely solve the problemsproduced by a
four-year drought and the increased needsfor water as populations
and businesses grow.
OCWD has recharged and maintained the groundwaterbasin at safe
levels while more than doubling the basinsannual yield over more
than 80 years. The Corps opera-tion of Prado Dam provides
significant water supply ben-efits to Orange County. Its current
collaboration with theDistrict to capture additional stormwater
will substantiallyaid OCWD in maintaining basin balance over the
longterm.

Australian Gun Law Update:Here's a thought towarm some of
yourhearts.... From: EdChenel, A police officer inAustralia...
Hi Yanks, I thought you allwould like to see the real fig-ures
from Down Under.
It has now been 12 monthssince gun owners in Australiawere
forced by a new law tosurrender 640,381 personalfirearms to be
destroyed byour own government, a pro-gram costing Australia
tax-payers more than $500million dollars.
the first year results arenow in:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent,Australia-wide,
assaults are up 9.6 percent;
australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44
percent)!The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the
hands of honest citi-
zens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect
only the law-abid-ing citizens. Take note Americans, before it's
too late! Will you be one of thesheep to turn yours in?
AUSTRALIA : MORE VIOLENT CRIME DESPITE GUN BAN
There is no such thing as gun con-trol. It is people that you're
trying tocontrol. A gun is an inanimate object!
