LONG BEACH (AP) A coastal regulator Friday approved a plan to install parking machines and hike holiday parking fees at several popular Orange County beaches.

The California Coastal Commission voted to let the state Department of Parks and Recreation install automated parking machines at the beaches and charge a $20 flat holiday rate up from $15.

The move comes as the department seeks funding to offset a 37 percent drop in general fund cash in the last five years. Parks officials have faced opposition to similar efforts at some Northern California beaches where parking was traditionally free.

Out of Californias 1,100 miles of beach, a third is controlled by the state Department of Parks and Recreation.

People should expect to see us take a statewide look at where we do and dont charge fees, and expect that analysis to produce recommendations of where we should and should not charge fees and what those fees should be, said Mat Fuzie, deputy director of park operations.

Park officials will monitor the new program to determine how it is affecting beachgoers at Orange Countys Crystal Cove State Park, Doheny State Beach and San Clemente State Beach. The state could use this data to make changes to parking fees at other beaches, Fuzie said.

Some commissioners voiced concern that a $20 holiday rate might price poorer Californians out of a trip to the beach. But they largely welcomed the plan which was approved for five years as a way to learn more about how Orange County residents use their beaches and ensure that state parks can be properly maintained.

The reality is there is no such thing as free parking. The closer it gets to free the more it is subsidized by some other source seen or unseen, Commissioner Steve Kinsey said.

In Sonoma County, officials are reviewing a hotly contested plan to start charging for parking at some beaches that dont currently have any fees.

Parking at Orange County beaches about to get expensive

A coastal regulator on Friday approved a plan to install parking machines and hike holiday parking fees at several popular Orange County beaches.

The California Coastal Commission voted to let the state Department of Parks and Recreation install automated parking machines at the beaches and charge a $20 flat holiday rate - up from $15.

The move comes as the Department seeks funding to offset a 37 percent drop in general fund cash in the last five years. Parks officials have faced opposition to similar efforts at some Northern California beaches where parking was traditionally free.

Out of California's 1,100 miles of beach, a third is controlled by the state Department of Parks and Recreation.

"People should expect to see us take a statewide look at where we do and don't charge fees, and expect that analysis to produce recommendations of where we should and should not charge fees and what those fees should be," said Mat Fuzie, deputy director of park operations.

In Sonoma County, officials are reviewing a hotly contested plan to start charging for parking at some beaches that don't currently have any fees.

At the Orange County beaches, state officials installed parking machines and began revamping the fee structure last year to charge hourly and daily rates, but then learned they needed a permit from the Coastal Commission, said Orange Coast District Superintendent Brian Ketterer.

DOT cites CL beaches

Posted on by

Morong, Bataan - Impressed by its pristine beaches and crystal clear waters, this province has been cited by the Department of Tourism (DOT) and visiting newsmen as a magnet for tourism. Among the most beautiful beaches of the province are in Poblacion, here, such as the White Corals and its nearby resorts, together with the Pawikan Conservation Center.

The center is a pet project of spouses Gov. Enrique and Mrs. Vicky Garcia. Their son, incoming governor Abet S. Garcia, is determined to further develop the area as a haven for the pawikan. Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, a world-class resort hotel owned by construction magnate Jerry Acuzar in Bagac town, is another tourist draw identified by Garcia.

Recently, newsmen who visited Morong's beaches were impressed. "Halos kasing ganda ng Boracay ang mga beaches dito (The beaches here are almost beautiful as Boracay)," said newsman Ferdinand Castro.

Castro's group, though, called on Morong Mayor Cynthia Linao Estanislao and the DOT to regulate the rate of rentals of beach resorts in the area to be more competitive especially to domestic tourists. DOT Regional Director Ronnie Tiotuico said foreign tourists spend at least $85 or over P3,000 on rest and recreation (RNR) in famed spots of Central Luzon. "A foreign tourist, on the average, normally stays four to seven days in the region," he said. (With a report from Franco G. Regala)

Time Is Right for Arab Astronomy Renaissance, Scientist Says

Posted on by

It's time for the Arab Muslim world to reclaim its lost tradition of astronomical learning, one prominent researcher says.

Building a new generation of observatories would spark interest in fundamental research across the region, which in recent years has taken a much more utilitarian approach to science, said Nidhal Guessoum, a professor of physics and astronomy at the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates.

"Astronomy has a natural place high in the landscape of Arab Islamic culture," Guessoum wrote in a commentary published in the June 13 issue of the journal Nature. "It must be brought back." [History & Structure of the Universe (Infographic)]

A lost tradition

Astronomy has traditionally been important in the practice of Islam, Guessoum wrote, helping believers calculate prayer times and locations, determine the direction to the holy city of Mecca and map out the dates of festivals and pilgrimages.

As a result, astronomy flourished in the Muslim world from the ninth through 16th centuries A.D., with great observatories being built in what is now Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Iran and Uzbekistan.

"Thus hundreds of stars and constellations have Arabic names, such as Altair, Deneb, Vega and Rigel," Guessoum wrote. "Today, more than 20 lunar craters bear the names of Muslim astronomers, including Alfraganus (al-Farghani), Albategnius (al-Battani) and Azophi (al-Sufi)."

This golden age came to an end in the late 1500s after conservative clerics and rulers gained sway, placing ever more value on religious knowledge over scientific pursuits.

European colonization of the region in the 19th century sparked a brief resurgence, with new observatories going up in places such as Algeria, Lebanon and Egypt, Guessoum said.

But the interest mostly went home with the colonizers. When Arab nations gained their independence, Guessoum wrote, they tended to prioritize applied sciences such as petrochemical engineering and pharmaceuticals.

Aerospace Could Send the Dow Flying

Stocks turned upward this afternoon as the U.S. finally shrugged off any lingering negative impact from the Japanese stock market's overnight plunge. By 2:45 p.m. EDT, the Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES: ^DJI) were up 115 points, continuing the run of triple-digit days we've seen recently as volatility perks up in both directions. The U.S. stock market has actually done a good job of ignoring international pressures recently, as it has managed to sustain its advances even as emerging-market stocks have produced substantial losses so far this year.

One area of strength lately has been the aerospace industry, where greatly improved profitability among major airlines has led to increased capital spending and greater interest in boosting efficiency and long-term investment. The obvious aerospace pick within the Dow is Boeing (NYSE: BA) , which has the dual strengths of being one of two dominant commercial-aircraft manufacturers and having extensive contracts with U.S. and international defense organizations. Boeing is up 1.1% today, having upgraded its long-term prospects for the industry earlier this week. Now, the aircraft manufacturer sees aggregate demand for 35,000 new planes over the next 20 years, with total potential revenue for the company of $4.8 trillion. With new models like the Dreamliner, the 777X, and the fuel-efficient 737 MAX, Boeing hopes to capture more than its fair share of this huge market.

Boeing's impact ripples out to other major Dow components as well. United Technologies (NYSE: UTX) , up 1.6% today, has expanded its already substantial presence in the aerospace industry in recent years, with its acquisition of Goodrich marking the key event in its aim to become a major supplier of systems and components for the industry. Through its Pratt & Whitney subsidiary, United Tech already makes engines for commercial, military, and private-business aircraft, as well as the parts and technical support to ensure they work correctly. Goodrich added products like landing gear and engine housings to make United Tech's overall offerings more complete, and looking ahead, the company can count on high aircraft demand to drive its own revenue as well.

Finally, General Electric (NYSE: GE) has a substantial aviation division with a focus on jet engines and related components. The division was the third-largest in terms of revenue for GE in 2012, behind only the GE Capital division and GE's power and water segment. GE Aviation hasn't grown so fast as focus areas like oil and gas, power and water, or energy management. But with substantial roles to play in the industry, GE should benefit from the rise of aerospace in the years to come.

Individual industries often get lost in the noise of the overall market. But the trends in aerospace all look good at the moment, promising success for companies that can capitalize on the massive opportunity there.

For GE, management's strategic bets in energy have paid off well. If you're a GE investor, you need to understand how these bets could drive this company to become the world's infrastructure leader. At the same time, you need to be aware of the threats to GE's portfolio. To help, we're offering comprehensive coverage for investors in a premium report on General Electric, in which our industrials analyst breaks down GE's multiple businesses. You'll find reasons to buy or sell GE today. To get started, click here now.

Bombardier Aerospace Releases Annual Business and Commercial Aircraft Market Forecast Numbers

Posted on by

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Jun 14, 2013) - Today, Bombardier Aerospace released its annual 20-year forecast for the business and commercial aircraft market numbers.

As the business and commercial aircraft markets continue to recover from the industry downturn, signs of forward momentum are beginning to emerge. While demand for new aircraft orders will continue to come from established and developed markets, the growth potential in emerging markets such as China, India, Russia and Latin America is predicted to play an increasingly important role in the global aviation marketplace. With fuel prices and environmental concerns continuing to rise, operators across both industries continue to focus on fleet optimization and aircraft efficiency.

"Bombardier Aerospace has a long history of developing industry-leading solutions to meet the diverse mobility needs of its customers. This has been achieved by following its long-term vision to create state-of-the-art aircraft, and investments in the technology and the talent to develop new and sustainable products within the business and commercial aviation sectors," said Michael McAdoo, Vice President, Strategy and International Development, Bombardier Aerospace. "With its comprehensive product portfolio, dedication to superior customer support, and solid product-development roadmap, Bombardier is well-positioned for future growth."

Business Aircraft Market Forecast Numbers

Bombardier is confident in the strong, long-term potential of the business aircraft industry and forecasts a total of 24,000 business jet deliveries from 2013 to 2032 in the segments in which Bombardier competes*, which represents approximately $650 billion** in industry revenues. Bombardier's Business Aircraft Market Forecast anticipates 9,800 aircraft deliveries, worth $269 billion, during the 2013 to 2022 period, and 14,200 aircraft, worth $381 billion, from 2023 to 2032.

The business aviation market continues to recover, and while current macroeconomic indicators are mixed, the overall trend for the world economy is stable to positive. It is expected that as confidence returns to world markets, aircraft orders and backlogs will expand and deliveries will grow. While business jet orders and deliveries for 2013 are expected to be comparable to those of 2012, Bombardier forecasts that they will begin to improve in 2014 and that the industry will surpass its prior delivery peak year of 2008 by as early as 2016. It is also anticipated that with demand for business jets shifting towards emerging markets, the fleet of Large and Medium category aircraft will grow, with the Large aircraft category demonstrating the fastest growth.

Over the forecast period, Bombardier predicts North America will receive the greatest number of new business jet deliveries between 2013 and 2032, followed by Europe which, despite its continued economic challenges, remains the second largest market. China is forecast to become the third largest region in terms of deliveries over the next 20 years with 1,000 deliveries from 2013 to 2022, and 1,420 deliveries from 2023 to 2032. Bombardier also expects key growth markets including Brazil, India, Russia/the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Mexico, and Turkey to receive a significant share of business jet deliveries during the next 20 years.

Bombardier predicts that - similar to commercial aviation - future challenges facing the business aviation sector include rising fuel prices and increased environmental awareness. Through its new aircraft development programs, Bombardier continues to invest in innovative transportation solutions that include the Global 7000, Global 8000, Learjet 70, Learjet 75, Learjet 85 and Challenger 350 jets.

Commercial Aircraft Market Forecast Numbers

Bombardier Aerospace's 20-year view of the 20- to 149-seat commercial aircraft market predicts 12,800 deliveries from 2013 to 2032, generating over $646 billion in sales revenues. While the overall worldwide demand remains the same as the previous year, the regional distribution has been re-aligned with an expectation for below-average GDP growth in the mature markets of North America and Europe, and for more robust growth in emerging markets.

Insights into fungal communities in composts revealed by 454-pyrosequencing: Implications for human health and safety

Composting is a process for converting waste into materials beneficial for plant growth through the action of microbes, especially of fungi which can break down large molecules. But fungi involved in composting are not always harmless. Vidya De Gannes and colleagues show that composts can contain more fungi that are potentially harmful to humans than was previously realized. Using intensive DNA-sequencing to analyze fungal communities in three different composts of tropical agricultural plant waste, the authors found many fungal species not previously known to occur in composts. These include 15 species of opportunistic pathogens that can cause a variety of diseases, especially in people whose immune system has been weakened. Intensive DNA-sequencing can therefore serve as a "sentinel" technology to identify a potential health risk, conclude the authors.
