Two full-page ads in the middle of the main section of the San Gabriel Valley Tribune today. One was for joebarter.com which is promoting (yet again) the idea of a football stadium in Industry. One of the main sponsors of this "summit" on the football stadium include the Upper San Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority.

The past couple weeks we've seen the FCC propose new rules they're calling "Net Neutrality". The people who have argued for Net Neutrality are calling it "Net Neutraility Lite" because it's lacking a lot of things they want - but includes basic protections.

One thing NNLite excludes is the reclassification of internet services as utilities rather than "information services."

Today's LA Times has an article on the apparent contradiction between importing the vast majority of our water needs into southern California and the fact that we do not try to captures more of the water that DOES fall here.

A handcuffed shoplifting suspect escaped a Sheriff's vehicle and eluded the containment area intended to recapture him.

How does someone with his hands cuffed behind him make a clean getaway? You'd think someone would have seen him. And you know his wife must have had some questions for him when he got home!

I just couldn't resist the cheesy headline regarding gambling machines found in many area stores.

March 8 is election day in for Rosemead and Monterey Park city council seats.

The SGV Tribune posted a short article on candidates who have filed.

The list for Rosemead includes Councilwoman Polly Low, Planning Commissioner Bill Alarcon, and local activists R. Alejandro Gandara and Barbara Murphy.

Check out the comments on the video (click on it once it's playing).  What's interesting about this song is that Frank Zappa produced it.  You don't really think of him as a doo-wop guy. The Penguins did Earth Angel.

He's the guy who wanted to represent much of the San Gabriel Valley in the U.S. Congress, even though he didn't live in the district.

Now he's suing the state to get more pay. Yeah. Not the brightest bulb, is he?
