It’s the last dance for Ingrid Tower and Shall We Dance, yet Tower is confronting the studio’s closure with the same grace her dancers have displayed for the past four years. There are no regrets, questions of ‘what if,’ and no finger-pointing. The simple truth is that post-recession, Tower’s studio could not sustain itself financially.

Nature did.
The shark-bite attacks on otters are essentially “taste tests” made while hunting, Harris said.
“This would explain why the majority of the otters collected have a single bite mark,” he said. “These bites are more investigative.”
After a shark realizes an otter won’t make a good meal, they let go and move on, Harris said.
Shark attacks on otters are part of nature, Harris said, but they concern researchers who want to preserve healthy populations.
“It becomes complicated,” he said. “They are both protected species.”
It’s Not Global Warming, Climate Change, Pollution, Fishermen or G.W. Bush Killing Otters
Pacific Gas and Electric Co.’s SmartMeters are a fundamental part of building a smart power grid that will increase energy efficiency, improve service and cut costs, a spokesman for the utility told the Pacific Grove City Council on Wednesday.
The SmartMeter itself isn’t new, PG&E spokesman Andrew Tang said. It dates from the 1980s. What is new is the radio net that will report power usage.
Big Brother watching you. Bankrupt PG&E not willing to improve the energy delivery system but will instead automate it’s power grid to charge you more when the opportunity arises.
Not to mention put meter readers out of a job.

Blame the victim. It works for Dave Stamm.
Lance M. Mosher, 44, was arrested Tuesday on two counts of lewd acts with a minor and penetration with a foreign object, police said.
Mosher is accused of committing the acts in 2007, police said.
The complaint stemmed from a prior complaint by an unnamed individual and the acts were committed while Mosher was living in Pacific Grove, authorities said.
Mosher’s attorney, Juliet Peck, said the teen accusing her client of molestation may have a mental illness, which could explain the allegations.
Same old blah blah blah. More taxes, change the tree policy, high cost desalinization, more development.
As the date comes near, I’ll be asking some tougher questions such as where they stand on the chicken control issue.

With the Cannery Row hotel filled to capacity, the Cherry’s Jubilee car show in full swing for the weekend, and a beer fest under way on the hotel’s lower terrace, a fire started in the penthouse of the westernmost building of the hotel complex about 3:21 p.m., and forced the evacuation.

Who remembers the real fires in old cannery buildings?
Maybe is was better when Round Up was used near the shore.
Microcystin, which is commonly referred to as blue-green algae, can cause liver damage when ingested. All 21 sea otters that tested positive for the bacteria died from liver failure, according to the study, which was completed with the help of experts from UC Santa Cruz and a variety of state and federal agencies.
It is believed the toxins flowed to the ocean off the coast of Monterey in rivers and creeks. Sea urchins and shellfish near the outflow filtered the water and the poison accumulated in their bodies, which were, in turn, eaten by otters.
Enjoy the polluted ocean, Pacific Grove triathletes. Recent rain has washed more raccoon poop into the ocean. Please wash your hands before touching anything in town.
Cal Triathlon in Berkeley, sponsor of the event, noted that a swim clinic at Lovers Point was held Thursday and that the most recent water tests showed safe levels of bacteria.
