Calif. gov. takes action as gas prices keep rising - Seattle Post Intelligencer [ournewsa.blogspot.com]
LOS ANGELES (AP) â€" Gov. Jerry Brown is taking action in an effort to drive down the cost of gasoline as California drivers cope with record-breaking prices at the pump.
For the second straight day Sunday, the statewide average price for a gallon of regular rose to an all-time high, hitting $ 4.655, according to AAA.
That topped Saturday's price of $ 4.6140, which broke the previous record high of $ 4.6096 per gallon set on June 19, 2008.
Due to a temporary reduction in supply, California gas prices in recent days have surpassed those in Hawaii to become the highest in the nation.
Brown on Sunday ordered state smog regulators to allow winter-blend gasoline to be sold in California earlier than usual to bring down prices. Winter-blend gas typically isn't sold until after October 31. Few refineries outside the state are currently making summer-blend gas, putting the pressure on already-taxed California manufacturers.
In some locations, fuming motorists paid $ 5 or more per gallon while station owners had to shut down pumps in others.
A station in Long Beach had California's priciest gas at $ 6.65 for a gallon of regular, according to GasBuddy.com. Meanwhile customers at an outlet in San Pablo paid just $ 3.49, the lowest price in the state.
The average for a gallon of regular was $ 4.69 in Los Angeles, $ 4.71 in San Diego and San Francisco, $ 4.55 in Sacramento and $ 4.90 in Santa Barbara, according to GasBuddy.com.
The dramatic surge came after a power outage Monday at a Southern California refinery that reduced supply in an already fragile and volatile market, analysts said. The refinery came back online Friday and prices were expected to stabilize in the coming days.
Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst at GasBuddy.com, predicted the average price could peak as high as $ 4.85 before coming back down.

Yes. Period. If there is something I think we could be doing better as a company, I will discuss it with the appropriate person at the proper time.
Answer by Kevin
Well, your question is quite difficult and I have never heard it before. Okay if it is for interview then yes will be good answer.
Answer by Insurance Pickle.com
"I run the company, so if I don't agree with company policy, I change it to suit my needs." You probably wouldn't get the job if you said that, but that's what I'd say.
Answer by mbrcatz
There's a line you have to draw, when it comes to using your common sense. Blindly following a policy in a situation that logic says would make the situation worse, is really dumb. Be honest, follow the company policy the vast majority of the time, but always act in the best interests of your moral compass, and your employer's benefit.
Microwaving A FULL Can Of Spray Paint!Under 18 -- www.youtube.com Over 18 -- bit.ly +++++++++++++++++++ CONFUSED? Here's the explanation of what's going on: Why'd I post two videos of the same thing here? One includes fire, and the other (this video) is just a teaser for the full-length episode. While YouTube has been helpful working with me to re-write the site-wide policy regarding "dangerous" acts here on YouTube, unfortunately experiments involving aerosols (spray paint) or fireworks will not be able to be unrestricted, once flagged. And since the full 7minute version of this video has a 100% likelihood of being restricted for people under the age of 18... I wanted to help out the younger viewers, by directing them to the Facebook fan page, where they can still watch the content, and where we can still earn money. But, if you're over 18 (or your YouTube account says you are), you can watch all of my content just fine right here on YouTube. But if you get a "this video has been rated" message, go find it on Facebook! So, at the end of the day, the flaggers/haters have created some more work for me, but we're complying 100% with YouTube's terms of service, and actually making more money this way... and you'll never be denied any of our content! So, to the flaggers I say: "fuck you, and suck on that."
