California Students Get Engineering Experience at Energy Giant

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

David Alvarez isn't sure where he wants to go to college—but when he decides, he'll already have one thing going for him: a summer internship at one of America's five largest corporations.

Last summer, the Richmond, Calif., senior worked at Chevron, measuring densities and viscosities of crude oils at the company's refinery in the city. A few years earlier, he couldn't tell the difference between different types of engineering.

That changed when he entered Richmond High School's engineering academy as a sophomore, where he has taken a variety of classes in the subject.

"While I was in class, I thought I would never get to do this in the real world," he says. "Once I saw what they do at Chevron, I saw the purpose of the things I was learning." Alvarez realized that the lab equipment he used in his biotechnology class was the same as the equipment he'd use at Chevron. "I already knew how to use it," he says. "It made me more excited about engineering because I already have experience, so I know what it'll be like when I graduate college."

Alvarez got the internship through Project SEED, a four-decade-old organization that helps place urban youth in professional development positions at companies. Former U.S. Undersecretary of Education Linus Wright has said that the project is "the least expensive program that you can place in our schools, particularly when you look at the results."

Joe Laymon, vice president of human resources at Chevron, says recruiting students like Alvarez is important for the company's future.

"It's unrealistic to think that the United States can continue to have its competitive lead without having a larger number of STEM-degreed individuals," he says. "We try to educate as well as develop a better potential employee by talking about what we do. We thought, 'Let's start in the communities where we live and where we work.' "

The company is one of California's largest employers, and it provides internships to about 500 high school and college students each year. Laymon says Chevron has donated more than $10 million to support STEM initiatives in California over the past two years. One of the major beneficiaries are schools like Richmond High that use the Project Lead the Way curriculum, which is formed around hands-on, project-based engineering courses.

In Richmond and El Segundo, where two of Chevron's largest refineries are located, Laymon says the company encourages its technicians to visit schools so that students can put a human face to an occupation.

Aurelio Garcia, lead of Richmond's engineering academy, says visits from engineers have improved student engagement at the school.

"Students definitely like seeing what an engineer looks like," he says. "They have to see what [engineers] do, so they can get an idea of how they might turn out."

Jose Cerda, a junior at the school, says he wasn't sure what he wanted to do until the class took a trip to the University of California, Santa Cruz's engineering school. While there, he saw a student-designed, mail-delivering robot.

"That made me open my eyes," he says. "I wondered 'How is that possible?' They had so many ideas that I never thought about, it was amazing."

He says the trip "changed how he looked at engineering," and that he hopes to go to the school when he graduates.

Laymon says Chevron invites classes to take field trips to its refineries and that talented students, such as Alvarez, may get to shadow a worker as they go through their day.

Even if all the students don't go into engineering or work at Chevron, he says everyone could use the education.

"People assume that the products we produce are ubiquitous, but you turn on the light switch and don't connect how the electricity got there: the complexity, hazards, and expense associated with producing oil," he says. "We decided, 'Let's not assume people know how these things work. Let's get into these schools, and, while we're educating, see if we can find some future employees.'"

SEAL BEACH, Calif | Thu Oct 13, 2011 3:20am EDT

SEAL BEACH, Calif (Reuters) - A gunman opened fire at a busy hair salon in the Southern California coastal town of Seal Beach on Wednesday in a shooting rampage that left eight people dead and another critically wounded, police said.

The suspect, who was not immediately identified, fled the scene in a vehicle and was arrested moments later about a half mile away, Seal Beach police Sergeant Steve Bowles told reporters nearly two hours after the shooting.

"We feel very confident at this point that we do have the single and only suspect in custody," Bowles said. "He appeared cooperative and did not resist our officers at all when he was detained."

The daylight shooting marked a rare outbreak of gun violence for Seal Beach, a quiet Orange County town about 30 miles southeast of Los Angeles, which Bowles said has gone years at a stretch with "no homicides, period."

It ranks as the worst mass killing in Orange County's history, surpassing the seven killed and two wounded in a shooting by Edward Charles Allaway at Cal State Fullerton in 1976, according to the Orange County Register newspaper.

Circumstances of the shooting remained murky, and Bowles said detectives were trying to establish a motive for the violence and any link between the gunman and the establishment, called the Salon Meritage.

Former salon employee Lidia Sosa, who went to the crime scene when she heard the news, told reporters the gunman shot and killed his ex-wife, with whom he was embroiled in a custody dispute. The owner of the shopping center, Henry Morales, said he was told by salon employees that the gunman was the former husband of a hair stylist there.

A long-time customer who identified herself only as Karen said she heard about the shooting and called her stylist, who answered the phone in a state of panic.

"He was screaming, and the phone went dead. He was hysterical," she said.

SOME INSIDE SALON ESCAPED UNHARMED

Of the nine people struck by gunfire, six were declared dead at the scene and three others were taken to Long Beach Memorial Hospital with critical injuries, Bowles said. Two of those hospitalized later died of their wounds, he said.

Bowles said he did not know how many of the victims were employees or how many were patrons, but the Los Angeles Times reported that the owner of the Meritage was among the dead, citing the man's niece.

Most of the victims were believed to have been shot inside the salon. One man initially listed as wounded was found in the parking lot, but it was not clear where he was shot, he said.

"There are survivors from inside the salon that escaped without harm," Bowles said.

The salon, which was filled with customers at the time of the shooting, is located in a large open-air shopping center on Pacific Coast Highway in Seal Beach. The area around the salon was cordoned off with yellow crime-scene tape, and several nearby streets were blocked off by police.

Cindy Spinosa, who works at the Seal Beach Chiropractic Center across the street from the salon, said she and others were left shaken by the outburst of violence.

"It's such a quiet little community. We don't experience things like this," she said.

A salon customer who identified herself only as Cindy and a resident of Anaheim told the Orange County Register she was getting her hair colored when the gunman walked in, approached a female stylist near her and opened fire.

She said the man then shot a woman who was getting a shampoo before turning the gun on Cindy's stylist and shooting him. "I just kept hearing, 'boom, boom, boom, boom,'" she said. "I ran out out. I didn't see his face. I just saw the gun in his hand and him shoot anybody."

Overhead television footage broadcast on KCAL9-TV showed a white pickup truck left parked by a roadside about a half mile from the shooting scene. The station reported that a number of weapons were recovered from the vehicle by police.

Bowles said the type of weapon or weapons used by the gunman was not immediately known.

SAN FRANCISCO | Thu Oct 6, 2011 3:54pm EDT

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Police shot dead on Thursday a man suspected of killing three people and wounding six others during a shooting spree at a Northern California cement plant and quarry, authorities said.

Three sheriff's deputies encountered the man they recognized as the suspected gunman from Wednesday's shooting crouched behind a vehicle and armed with a pistol, Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith told reporters.

"They attempted to make contact, all three deputies fired, and the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene," Smith told a news conference aired on a local radio broadcast. She said police were awaiting positive identification of the man from the coroner's office.

The suspected gunman was killed early in the morning in Sunnyvale, California, in the vicinity of a daylong manhunt for the disgruntled worker sought in connection with Wednesday's shooting rampage, Smith said.

The suspect, previously identified as Shareef Allman, believed to be in his 40s, was also suspected of shooting and wounding a Hewlett Packard worker in a carjacking attempt at the HP office campus.

Police said the violence unfolded early Wednesday morning when Allman arrived at a safety meeting at the Lehigh Southwest Cement Permanente Plant in Cupertino, then opened fire on roughly 15 of his co-workers with a handgun and rifle.

The gunman, who was in his 40s, fled in a vehicle and a short time later shot the HP employee in the company's parking lot before fleeing again on foot, prompting a search by authorities through adjacent neighborhoods, police said.

Sheriff's spokesman Sergeant Jose Cardoza said on Wednesday that Allman was described by witnesses and victims as "unhappy and disgruntled," though it was not clear whether he was troubled by work, family or other issues.

California lettuce recalled over listeria concerns

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
By Alina Selyukh

Fri Sep 30, 2011 12:55pm EDT

n">(Reuters) - California-based True Leaf Farms is recalling 90 cartons of chopped romaine lettuce as it may be contaminated with listeria, though no related illnesses have been reported.

Listeria is a frequent cause of U.S. food recalls but concerns over the bacterial contamination are heightened due to an outbreak linked to cantaloupes grown in Colorado, which has already killed 13 people and infected 72 people across 18 states.

There is no connection between the lettuce recall and the outbreak tied to cantaloupes, the Food and Drug Administration spokesman Douglas Karas said on Friday.

It is the fourth listeria-related food recall since Colorado's Jensen Farms voluntarily recalled cantaloupes linked to the outbreak on September 14. Only one of the four subsequent recalls -- of cantaloupes by Kansas food processor Carol's Cuts LLC -- was related to the outbreak.

True Leaf Farms, a processing arm of Salinas, California-based Church Brothers LLC, is voluntarily recalling romaine that was shipped between September 12 and 13 to a food service distributor in Oregon, who further sent it to at least two other states, Washington and Idaho, the company said in a release posted on the FDA website.

The two-pound bags also made their way to Alaska, according to the state's Department of Environmental Conservation.

The romaine lettuce affected by the recall has a September 29 use-by date, the company said in the release. Church Brothers was not immediately available for comment.

"Any time we find listeria in food we would consider that food adulterated and ask for a recall," Karas said in an email. "The finding of listeria in romaine lettuce was a result of an FDA research program to understand the prevalence of listeria in fresh produce, particularly lettuce and leafy greens."

Listeria rarely causes serious illness. For it to do so, the organism needs to get onto the food and grow to levels where it can cause disease. Because it can grow at low temperatures, that can happen anywhere along the food chain.

Listeria outbreaks are usually associated with deli meats, unpasteurized cheeses and smoked refrigerated seafood products, rather than fresh produce.

Previous food recalls this month included Queso Fresco's Del Bueno Casero Fresh Cheese in Washington state, Publix Super Markets' spinach dip in Florida and Fine Mexican Food Products Inc's avocado pulp and halves in California.

Southern California grocery workers ratify contract

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

LOS ANGELES | Sun Sep 25, 2011 5:20am EDT

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Unionized Southern California supermarket employees at Albertsons, Ralphs and Vons ratified a contract deal reached last week that averted a threatened strike, said the union representing the workers.

The United Food and Commercial Workers union said in a statement that members voted on Friday and Saturday to approve the three-year agreement reached on Monday covering 62,000 grocery workers. It did not release the vote count.

"This package protects our members` access to affordable comprehensive health care for themselves and their families," the union said in a statement late on Saturday. The union has said the agreement increases wages and protects healthcare and pension benefits through the life of the contract.

Southern California is one of the most competitive food retailing markets in the United States. Many analyst see the region as a trend-setter for the rest of the industry.

Parties to the latest talks were involved in a bitter 141-day strike in Southern California that spanned 2003 and 2004. It was the longest work stoppage in the history of the U.S. grocery industry, costing an estimated $1.5 billion in lost sales to competitors and permanently shifting the loyalties of some shoppers.

Since that time, nonunion food sellers ranging from Wal-Mart Stores Inc, Costco Wholesale Corp and Target Corp have been chipping away at their overall market share. At the same time, niche players, ranging from upscale grocer Whole Foods Market Inc to ethnic chains and even dollar stores, have taken a bite.

Ralphs stores are operated by Kroger Co, Vons is owned by Safeway Inc and Albertsons' parent company is Supervalu Inc.

Able to return to Millions in California, Arizona and the Mexico

SAN DIEGO - utility crews brought electricity to much of California, Arizona and Mexico Friday, a day after a failure left millions of people on highways dark, paralyzed and interrupted electricity flights at the airport in San Diego.

Officials, however, warned that electricity was still too fragile, and asked residents and businesses to move easily over - or even put off using - major appliances such as air conditioners.

"Conservation will really help reduce the strain," Stephanie McCorkle said the operator of the system of the independent in California, which manages the power grid.

Electricity returned to San Diego early Friday, signaling that the blackout was essentially on because most of the affected people were in the eighth largest city in the nation. Schools of the city, State universities and community colleges in the region remained entering. Beaches were closed because the failure caused a spill of wastewater of $ 3.2 million - gallon.

The Mexico power utility has said that the lights are on for 1.1 million customers, or 97% of those who have lost power. Power was also restored to all 56,000 customers in Yuma, Ariz.

The San Diego region was particularly hard with collected power on 16 Thursday to all household customers and business of 1.4 million of San Diego Gas & Electric Co. has.

That has left residents without air conditioners are stifling and paralyse some traffic Highway and the airport.

The blackout extended in southern Orange County, through the Interior deserts of California, as far as Yuma and the Mexico. The region is the home of 6 million people, although it was impossible to say exactly how many had lost power.

The failure occurred after an electrical worker removed a piece of equipment to a power of southwestern Arizona of monitoring substation, officials based Phoenix Arizona Public Service Co. said.

It is therefore not clear that mishap, which normally would have been isolated, has attracted such widespread failure. The company said that would be the subject of an investigation.

"This was not a deliberate act." "The employee was just switching on a piece of equipment that was problematic,", a declared Daniel Froetscher, an APS Vice-President.

It is possible that extreme heat may also have caused some problems with the transmission lines, said Mike Niggli, chief operating officer of San Diego Gas & Electric Co.

During the night, a large part of San Diego was in the dark, and all outgoing flights based at its main airport, Lindbergh Field. The airfield was opened and had the power to Friday morning, but authorities said that some airlines have cancelled flights.

There was no immediate report of major injuries related to the failure. The authorities of San Diego and elsewhere said they were on alert, but no major problems had arisen, including the slightest sign of looting or other disorders.

There are reports of minor accidents as the crash caused mayhem in the streets without traffic during rush hour.

Leah Walden, 59, said she saw five swept on its drive of his work of accountant in suburban Spring Valley for a tasting of wedding cake to San Diego.

"People are irritated." "They don't want wait," said Walden, adding that about 15 cars had a setback on the highway turning off the highway of traffic sense opposite to escape traffic jams. "This is how nuts people."

In the city of Encinitas in the range to the North of San Diego, Tim Grenda, 41, put a positive spin, noting that its hot yoga class was cooler due to the failure. The class, usually conducted at 104 degrees, was closer to 99 degrees because an oven used for heat pump had been eliminated.

"It was hot enough for me, but this is not quite as intense as the usual practice," he said.

Rosa Maria Gonzales, a spokesman with the Imperial Irrigation District in sizzling California eastern desert, was less enthusiastic - temperatures were well on the territory of three figures when the power is turned off.

"It feels like you are in an oven and you cannot escape," she said.

The blackout extended South of the border in Tijuana, Mexicali and other cities in the State of Baja California to the Mexico, which are connected to the U.S. power grid, said Niggli. The police on both sides by reinforcements sent to prevent the crime of looting and other in their cities, but none were reported.

In the border city of Tijuana, people formed long lines outside stores Thursday, trying to buy ice or take advantage of the beer sold at half price. Many people drank this beer in the street or in the parked cars with loudspeakers for loud music booming.

Cars a form lines and in stations of rare gas generators which remained open and traffic seized streets after traffic lights stopped working.

Jose Padilla Flores, who was one of the few people who still had electricity Thursday, offered to let people watch the telenovela on its television if they bought fried tacos and water flavoured his small restaurant "Eldorado" in the neighbourhood of la Independencia.

"My female neighbours were the first to ask if I could let them watch the telenovela," said Padilla Flores, 35. "I thought it was a great idea to promote my business."

San Diego residents poured into the few bars that remained open downtown after dark, some donning reading lights on their heads as minors. A pair of men carried flaming torches tiki - usually planted in backyards - to see their way to the bottom of the street of pitch black.

"This is surreal, said Myrna Contreras, 35, sitting on the patio of a candle-lit bar." "". He is optimistic. "He is friendly.

Two reactors at a nuclear power plant along the coast went offline after losing power, but officials said that no there was no danger to the public or the workers.

The blackout came more than eight years after a more severe black fate in 2003 darkens a wide swath of the Midwest and Northeast. More than 50 million people were affected in this failure.

In 2001, failed experiment of California with the deregulation of the energy was widely blamed for six days of rolling blackouts that cut off electricity to more than 3 million customers and close the refrigerators, ATMs and traffic lights.

California Blackout a reminder of vulnerability of U.S. power grid

SAN DIEGO - Power has been restored to millions of people in the southwest of the United States and the Mexico after a massive power outage, but questions remain about how such a huge failure could have been caused by a single utility worker doing work for minor repairs.

Failure of Thursday has intrigued experts and authorities and recalled that the U.S. transmission lines remain vulnerable to cascading blackouts.

Several similar failures have been in recent years. In 2003, a power outage has knocked unconscious power to 50 million people in the Midwest and Northeast. And, in 2005, a major failure struck the metropolitan area of Los Angeles.

The same year, Congress required utilities to comply with the standards of Federal reliability for the electrical network, instead of self-regulation. Layers of guarantees and safeguards were intended to isolate problems and make sure that power keeps flowing.

But this is not to arrive Thursday.

"There are a lot of critical pieces of equipment on the system and we have less defense that we believe, said Rich Sedano at the regulatory Assistance project, a utility industry think tank based in Montpellier, Vermont."

The worker of Arizona Public Service Co. switching out a capacitor, which controls levels of tension, outside of Yuma, Arizona, near the border of California. Shortly after, a section of a line of regional power has failed, possibly disorder spread rained down in California and the Mexico later, officials said.

And the lights have started out in the border region of approximately 6 million people.

The blackout has eliminated traffic lights, causing traffic jams on the roads in the area of San Diego. Two reactors at a nuclear power plant to the coast of California went offline after losing power. More than 2 million gallons of wastewater discharged into the water off the coast of San Diego, the eighth largest U.S. city of closing beaches.

The National University System Institute for Policy Research, believes the interruption of the San Diego-area economy over $ 100 million.

Many had to spend the night, both sides of the border in the United States and Mexico, difficulty falling asleep in high temperatures.

Federal investigators and States are trying to determine what caused the failure and how it is possible to prevent future problems. If regulatory violations are discovered, the Government could issue fines of up to 1 million per day for each offence, said officials.

Among the questions they ask are the reason for which guarantees to keep the power flowing appeared to work, at least at first. There is a gap of about 10 minutes between the time when the power line failed and customers lost electricity, said Daniel Froetscher, vice president of the Phoenix-based APS energy delivery.

The line was "solid, reliable" without a history of problems, said Froetscher.

San Diego Gas & Electric Co. should have isolated the problem by arresting the Powerlink southwest of 500 kV as it did in 2007 forest fires, said Michael Shames, Executive Director of the advocacy group, utility Consumers' Action Network.

"If a fire occurs in the kitchen, the first thing you do is close the door to the kitchen to stop it from spreading,", he said.

He also questioned why the San Onofre nuclear plant was forced to close, and why the other backup energy did not kick in.

Of Michael Niggli, SDG & E President and Chief Executive Officer, said that the company did not have the time to close the line because it had no warning.

Said Niggli automatic circuit breakers to San Onofre prevent the power failure spread to Southern California Edison, which serves 14 million people in the Los Angeles area.

At a Friday press conference, Niggli compared the grid to a peaceful pond. "When someone throws a rock here, it causes ripples. According to what rock has, these wrinkles are touching everyone who is in the pond, "he says.

Experts believe that the problem could have been worse by the manner in which the flow of power in California.
California imports of huge amounts of power from Arizona and other States. When variations in voltage caused the San Onofre nuclear power plant to shut down to protect themselves, it deprives the grid of a huge source of energy generated in California.

Normally, this power loss would result more from Arizona.

But this power was already offline, depriving the area of power.
