| California gasoline prices hit record amid supply woes Posted: 06 Oct 2012 04:38 PM PDT LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Gasoline prices in California hit record levels on Saturday, after an unprecedented surge in pump prices propelled by a perfect storm of factors that drove inventories in the region down to near-historic lows. The average cost of a gallon of gas in the state stood at $4.614, edging past the previous record of $4.61 set in 2008, according to figures from AAA. But prices topped $5 a gallon in some locations.

| Radiation from Idaho fire posed no health risks: officials Posted: 05 Oct 2012 07:05 PM PDT SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - Smoke from a wildfire in Idaho that burned mining sites with traces of uranium and thorium contained elevated levels of radiation, but none that posed a risk to human health, state officials said on Friday. The state Department of Environmental Quality last month took air samples in North Fork, a town in the burn zone in east-central Idaho, after the so-called Mustang Complex fire swept through a former uranium mine and two abandoned gold mines. Health officials said then they believed risks to people's health was low, and the latest findings back up that assessment. ... |

Ryan Andresen's mother, Karen, said the scoutmaster of his Troop 212 in Moraga, a San Francisco suburb, had refused to grant Eagle status to Ryan, who has been a scout since age 6, even though he met the requirements. "His last words were I'd rather resign than sign," Andresen told Reuters. A petition launched by Andresen on Change. ... |
