Join us now to explain what is behind the surge, allison mack. Allison, thanks for joining us. I wish i was joining you under happier circumstances. California were running out of water and gas . What is the reason for the spike basically economics 101. Very little supply and high demand during the summer season. We have been suffering from refinery issues throughout the year. Weve been hearing about explosions, maintenance issues, labor strikes, so all of this is catching up to us. It is hurting our supply. Here in california we have a summer blend. Its a special blend, its supposed to be environmentally healthy for air quality. Apparently the summer blend is low in reserves. How to refineries, allison, get it to the point that they are so low on the summer blend . Actually, summer blend is used throughout the nation. You do have one thing right. California uses a completely different blend of gasoline. Because of california we have higher regulations and stricter rules in regards to what type of fuel we use. This blend of gas limits us from our supplies because when we do have an inventory issue we cannot easily turn to our neighbors in texas or go to idaho and ask them for gasoline, which is one of the problems that were seeing right now the state senator asked to stop the requirement. You think thats the answer . Gas buddy we issued a petition to the governor as well. We sent them a petition and ask to lift the regulation temporarily. We understand that there are Environmental Issues and that was one of the reasons why this gasoline was implemented in the 1st place but looking at the gas prices especially since im living here in los angeles, its very painful form for all of the drivers is averaging 4. 30 and the prices are continuing to take up until we get some relief. That wont happen anytime soon one last question. What about trader panic. Does that have anything to do with the spike . That has everything to do with the spike. When the government issue report came out saying california, you are way below what you need to be to be at a comfortable level with the amount of drivers and people you have in this state, thats when it happened. The market panicked which is what sent the spikes going up. 15 cents, 13 cents, take over date increases thank you for taking the time to join us today. Telis if you are driving differently. Its our question of the day it doesnt change how i drive. I still have to get to and from. Its a nice day but it is summer it is. Theres nos there is no fires in the new cat in the newscast. This is the time of year they start to pop off. It is not unusual to have three or four fires a weak in the area. You can see that from the mound hill from the hills and mount diablo. Were in this historic drought and these are typically our high fire danger seasons. You can see the fog down below that there. Lets go back home here. You see the fog along the coast to. That become closer. Fog was extended all day. You see it plugged in here. Look at ocean beach, you are clear. You might see the sunset. But by 8 00 the fog is feeling back in to the beaches and when you wake up there will be a good dose of it. Lets look at the National Forecast if we can. Remember when we get this pressure to keep the schools cool and it moves off to the planes. Its bringing moisture up from the gulf of california up to minneapolis come down to the Washington Area even though its a ridge of High Pressure here, these areas over the top of get hammered with heavy rain falls over the next couple of days. I bring it up because if youre traveling to chicago, st. Louis, there could be issues with travel delays because of the rain. Its just been one of those years. As i show you the right now temperatures, 17 miles in napa out of the south, 12 miles in hour west wind out of their field and blowing at 14 miles per hour. Interesting forecast slightly warmer today and tomorrow and then they come back down. Theres no big changes, right . No big bump in temperatures either way but thats unfortunate that is that is fortunate. The weather is almost just right. If it was hotter there would be red flags. Its not happening. The heat is out there in the Central Valley keeping us high and dry. You look at the forecast for San Francisco which can be beautiful when the fog isnt there. Its going to be one of those days tomorrow. Oakland good oakland looks good too. Oakland is really coming along its not ive been hear since the 70s in oakland is really coming on. They have restaurants and bars. And san jose us 77. 84 degrees for daytime degrees pictures the five day forecast. Ive been an oakland a long time and ive seen changes.

I am crazy about music. Yes. I went to be dances and things. Camp holloway was the number one band i like. Reporter even with brains degraded music very deep in our souls can provide relief and rehabilitation and awaking the emotional power of it surprised me catherine madisons medical director of the Health Center at California Pacific Medical Center gave me goosebumps and made me feel good to see that there was still a way to tap into those individuals and connect with them and pull them out of isolation. The music project uses ipods to let those with dementia and alzheimers listen to the music of their era or anything else they might enjoy. Music truly special the music connects to so many regions of the brain that it is hard to remove it. But i can tell that its almost as if music comes in and it spreads tentacles to all the different areas of the brain and it lights up i love it. I love the bands now at least one 4th of alzheimers and dementia patients have no money for an ipod. They need 500 used ipods for those patients. I hit the 1 market by use by ordering five.
