If you're still in the dark but have Internet access, you can track the progress on turning the power back on at this web site, which is the

Never heard of such a thing, but I guess a lot of kids got to stay home today because of the wind!

Short AP blurb on the Tribune website, although it suggests the area under study is a "wilderness."

The National Park Service newsletter describing the draft report is here.

I can't tell by this short blurb if the Howard's coming to Alhambra is in addition to or as a substitute for their current store, on Valley (1/2 block east of Del Mar) in San Gabriel. Given how close these locations are to each other, I suspect this means Howard's is closing their San Gabriel store.

Interesting story in the LA Times, which discusses how Asian Americans might fare under various redistricting proposals.

The SGV Journal reports that a "greening" project along San Gabriel Blvd north of Grand Ave is now underway.

With redistricting shifting district boundaries, Judy Chu has announced she will run for the new West San Gabriel Valley district that will include Rosemead, San Gabriel, Temple City, San Marino, Monterey Park, Arcadia, Sierra Madre, and parts of South Pasadena and Pasadena. It's the most Asian-leaning of the area congressional districts, and would include her home in Monterey Park.

No details reported, other than the stabbing of two women, one fatally, in unincorporated San Gabriel (just north of Rosemead) early this morning.
