HLB-infected trees produce bitter, misshapen fruit and finally die. It first showed up in southern China in the late 1890s. It has since spread throughout Asia, Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and Brazil, devastating citrus production in those areas. HLB turns fruit sour and "lip-smackingly bitter," Nelsen said.

But as freeways were built, Route 66 and its motels, gas stations and restaurants faded. At some point, the Bono family's Orange Attorney -- along with most of the other stands -- was scrapped. Bono, a retired lawyer, took over the restaurant business after his mother died in the 1990s. More than 10 years ago, the Fontana Historical Society, of which Bono is a member, got word that a stand three miles east was going to be destroyed. The society moved it to a Wal-Mart parking lot, then Bono paid to have it moved to the parking area of Bono's Restaurant & Deli, where it still sits, restored but unused. That could change. Bono has been remodeling the restaurant, adding a wine bar, among other changes. He also has plans for the Orange Attorney. "When I reopen this stand, I think I'm going to sell OJ out of it, like an Orange Julius," he said. 
Under the Chinese system of feng shui, buildings are oriented in a favorable manner, often determined by the location of bodies of water, stars or compass directions. Feng Shui Good feng shui falls under good design principals, the way a cook top and sink are lined up with each other, McKibbin said. But with some buyers theres more focus on that. Thats when things like numerology come into place, which can place challenges in regards to addressing a home and avoiding certain numbers. We do pay attention to that. Standard Pacific last month reported a fourth-quarter profit of $15.3 million, compared with a year-earlier loss of $21.9 million, helped by a 44 percent net increase of new orders to 615. The company opened its Castillian development at Blackstone in Brea, in northern Orange County, in mid-March and sold 31 of the projects 38 units during the following nine months. The houses were priced at about $1 million each. Smaller design adjustments may also include solid, easy-to- clean surfaces in the kitchen, porcelain floors and streamlined contemporary designs, according to New Home Co.s Marcus-Colvin. Demand from Asian buyers has been specific to pockets in Orange County, while a broader, lasting recovery in Southern California is dependent on an economic rebound, said Sussman, the UCLA professor.

The company plans to hire up to 60 employees at a new Santa Ana-based regional office and provide its affordable, fixed price solar solutions to homeowners throughout the south coast. "We're excited to bring our affordable, fixed price energy offering to Orange County homeowners who are looking to save money on their power bills by going solar," said Brendon Merkley, Chief Operating Officer of Vivint Solar. "As rooftop solar continues to grow as a mainstream energy choice, we'll continue to educate homeowners about their solar options." Vivint Solar's new territory launch coincides with the start of the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon at Orange County Great Park in Irvine, California, where the company is supporting the event through a team of volunteers giving tours of the solar-powered homes designed and built by 20 collegiate teams. The homes will be on public display through October 13th.

The group says requiring a sign makes sex offenders potential targets of violence and violates their rights. "That's certainly one side of the argument the other side though is this is to protect the children and if it protects one child then it's well worth it," said Wayne Winthers, Orange City Attorney, Nearly 100 registered sex offenders live in Orange and are affected by the ordinance according to CA RSOL. But some parents are more concerned about how children are affected, 
And what better target from some peoples perspective to do that to a sex offender? Thats one of our real concerns, said Janice Bellucci, president of CA RSLO. Across California, sex offenders have been targets of recent crime, Bellucci said. On Aug. 12, an offender was shot and killed while standing outside of his home in Salinas. On Aug. 23, a San Juan Capistranoman was sentenced to life in jail for the 2011 vigilante murder of his sex-offender neighbor. Instead of protecting the residents of the city of Orange, this ordinance harms hundreds of citizens in that city that have been convicted of a sex-related crime, said CA RSOL board member Frank Lindsay in the organizations news release.

The ordinance, passed in 2010, also bans sex offenders from putting out holiday decorations, leaving outdoor lights on, and answering the door for children on Oct. 31. California Reform Sex Offender Laws, the advocacy group that filed the lawsuit, claims that the sign requirement is unconstitutional and violates the civil rights of sex offenders. Orange city attorney Wayne Winthers told KTLA that debate around the issue will likely be addressed at an upcoming city council meeting. According to CA RSOL, the signs jeopardize the safety of sex offenders and their families, putting themat risk for physical and emotional harm, the organization said in a news release Wednesday. Often on Halloween people are up to mischief, whether its egging a house, or shooting a gun through a window. And what better target from some peoples perspective to do that to a sex offender?

(Rendering courtesy City of Orange Beach) But I have to ask, is the RV park what the village of Orange Beach really wants or wants people to see as they come in? Do we want an RV city? We already have a park on the east side of us thats not going anywhere. And I have really grave doubts whether this one will go anywhere. Steve Hicks, one of projects developers, noted that despite some opposition the development received 100 percent support from the Tannin Homeowners Association and have made adjustments to quell concerns. We worked diligently to address the concerns of our neighbors and our city and we have done our very best to mitigate those, Hicks said. And I feel like we have with the buffering and restrictions to create a successful development. Originally pitched in February, the RV resort had 72 rental sites along with a clubhouse, swimming pool, trails, and other recreational areas.

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Gov. George E. Pataki set an example by going on a well-publicized shopping expedition in Midtown. The Police Department said it received a higher number of reports of what it calls suspicious packages: unattended bags, boxes or luggage that arouse fears of a possible bomb, one official said. The official was unable to provide figures but said such reports often rose when greater attention is focused on the possibility of terrorism. While some of those interviewed yesterday said the alert indeed woke them up to greater awareness of their surroundings, others shrugged. ''I'm the 'if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen' type of guy,'' said Paul Lally Jr., 59, of Stanton, Del. At 43rd Street and Broadway, Linda Arnold, 60, of Boca Raton, Fla., was standing on the corner with her son, Jon, of Smithville, N.J., who was talking to a police officer. 
Bellucci filed a similar lawsuit last year to strike down a Simi Valley ordinance that also required people convicted of sex crimes to post a sign. That law also banned them from putting up Halloween displays and outside lighting on Oct. 31. But the day before the Simi Valley law went into effect, federal court Judge Perry Anderson issued a temporary restraining order barring the city from enforcing the sign provision. The judge let stand provisions of the ordinance that keep sex offenders from turning on outside lights, decorating their homes and answering their doors to trick-or-treaters. Bellucci estimates there are about 100 registered sex offenders in Orange. The Megan's Law online directory lists 84.

In Orange, no registered sex offenders have been cited since the ordinance was adopted, said City Atty. Wayne Winthers. There was no need for the group to file the lawsuit, he said, since the city had been in contact with Bellucci and anticipated bringing the issue up to the City Council later this month. I read the district courts ruling and I dont see any reason why the court would look at ours any differently, Winthers said.

Earning the Gold Award is no small task. It takes over a hundred hours, hard work and learning how to lead and delegate a group of people that the girl has identified as being as passionate about her cause as she is. Then the girl has to make sure that her project will continue to thrive after she has finish earning the award. Lucy Cervino was inspired by the courtyard at Rosary High School in Fullerton, where she played as a child. For her Gold Award, she took an undeveloped area in the upper portion of the campus and created a Reflection Garden, now known as the "St. Francis Garden". Including iron and wooden benches and over 150 plants, she has created a beautiful place where students can sit, reflect and socialize for years to come. 
The Orange Attorney in the seal is smaller than the grapes, said Councilman Ron Saylor, a resident since 1966. I mean, ... Ive made the comment that with the size of that strawberry, we ought to convert some of our parks over to growing strawberries. Saylor is not sure how the city will go about changing the seal hire a graphic designer, have a contest, involve school children but he predicted the city will have a new seal within five years. That would be fine with Joan LaFleur, a local historian who opposed changing Orange Citys name. LaFleur edited the history book, Our Story of Orange City, Florida, that recounted how the townspeople decided to call the place Blue Spring in 1876. But the postmaster, convinced his choice would draw more attention, put Orange City on the paperwork. 
New Yorkers and visitors were hit with that sort of double-barreled message yesterday, a day after the federal government raised the nation's terrorism alert status to the second-highest level, orange, a decidedly un-Christmasy color. In a city ablaze in holiday lights, the authorities said they had increased security at landmarks and houses of worship and in its transportation system. State troopers were placed on commuter trains. The police also stepped up truck searches at bridges and tunnels, and officials said they would also be making such stops in city streets. During the last Orange Attorney alert, the baseball season was young and the buds of May were opening. The announcement on Sunday of a heightened terror alert brought forth the usual responses: skepticism, resignation, fatalism, flippancy, even fear. It was also a reminder of the potential for danger. ''It was like the terrorists grabbed me by the lapels and said, 'We're still here,' '' Jay Whelan, 33, said of learning about the Orange Attorney alert from a Times Square news display on Sunday. ''My stomach dropped.'' But Mr. 
As for Bellino, last week she told Reality Tea that things are up in the air for her regarding next season, which begins shooting next month. "Everything is still in the air," she said. "[Jim] and I haven't addressed it, we're just enjoying the time off. I don't even want to think about it. Right now I'm very undecided and I don't want to think about what we're doing. Supposedly, we only have a month, month and a half before everything starts up again. So it's not a very long hiatus. 
Dr. Ralls stated that there will be a three member staff to deal with euthanasia issues to help prevent a inexcusable death such as befell Hershey, the animal that was PTS yet had a home waiting for him, the dog that sparked this debate and need for major change at OCAS. The shelter are also going to have both a rescue coordinator and an adoption coordinator, along with a single point of contact to screen the phone calls and e-mails. Dr. Ralls stated that the County has hired a full time vet, with the goal to be two full time vets. Reportedly, Dr. Ridgeway, the veterinarian who showed such a lack of compassion for the animals in his care, will be phased out once the other vets are trained. However, since I was not at the meeting, I did not get a chance to inquire how this new vet was chosen, nor given the opportunity to examine their background. 
Saddleback Valley Unified School District has based its program on Chromebooks. The 30,000-student district has purchased 580 and plans to buy 7,500 more in the next two years. One grade in each elementary, middle and high school will receive a set of laptops, which all grades will share during end-of-year testing, said Michael Morrison, Saddleback's chief technology officer. "When we look at Common Core, key components are doing research online and validating sources," said Michael Morrison, Saddleback's chief technology officer. "You can't do research online without having access to a computer or device." Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified, which has more than 25,000 students, plans to buy 540 Chromebooks, putting 60 each at its four high schools and five middle schools. The computers will ease pressure on computer labs overwhelmed by student demand, said Jeremy Powell, director of technology. PTA members will help promote the program to parents. "My hope is that it spreads enthusiastically and that people participate heartily in this effort because we need the computers," Mijares said. "We'll put them to good use." FivePoint will supplement the subscription program by donating laptops in the name of each homeowner who buys in Great Park Neighborhoods. The first neighborhood, Pavilion Park, opens Sept. 
The Orange County Chamber of Commerce launches a new program aimed at encouraging everyone to shop local. Our Meredith Zaritheny has more how on this program could help you save money. ORANGE COUNTY, N.Y.-- "I thought this was a great way to get it out there," said Anna Irizarry, the Club at Storm King Golf Course and Annarella's on the Green Restaurant owner. For Ann Irizarry, the Orange Advantage Program is the perfect way to bring in more business to her golf course and restaurant, while at the same time rewarding her loyal customers. "They come here and use the Orange Advantage Card either at the restaurant or on the course, they can accumulate points and in turn they can go and use that at other merchants that are in this program," said Irizarry. The program designed by the Orange County Chamber of Commerce and SB Merchant Services allows customers to earn points for shopping at participating businesses, and use those points instead of cash. "What we've done is created a program where the consumers of Orange County can shop locally and be rewarded. At the same time it gives the business community to compete with the big box stores," said Scott Goren, SB Merchant Services of Newburgh President. The rewards program is free to the customer and each business sets their reward percentage. 
This year, they said they would have 485 students by Year 5, a drop from previous applications. TheirOsceolaschool opened with about 45 students last year after projecting 500 students. Last year, theschool appealed but then dropped its appeal, saying that contract negotations would probably push into the fall and delay opening. Avant Garde Academy, which operates a school in Osceola, wants to open a college preparatory middle/high school in the Dr. Phillips area that would top out around 1,400 students. UETA Community School, which would have a partnership with NapFord Community School in Parramore,wants to open a school that would have 364 students ingradesK-8 by their fifth year. The school would have a longer day, allowing for additional instruction in science, technology, engineering and math.

A federal criminal complaint against computer science student Jared James Abrahams was unsealed after his pre-arranged surrender. Abrahams made his initial court appearance this afternoon at the federal courthouse in Santa Ana. His bail was set at $50,000 and is expected to be released Thursday. Abrahams has agreed to stay at his grandparents home in Claremont Thursday night, where the computer there will be locked up, so officials have enough time to install a device that will monitor usage on it at his Temecula home. Then Abrahams will be confined to his Temecula home and required to wear a GPS monitor. He also will be prohibited from using any computers except for one desktop computer at home for only school work, provided hes able to continue his education. He is due back in court Nov. 4 for possible arraignment. He waived his right to a preliminary hearing, so it is likely prosecutors will seek an indictment before then.
