Sierra College Natural History Museum Presents
"Love May Have Nothing To Do With It"
Today, February 21st.
 Rocklin, CA-The Sierra College Natural History Museum will present an illustrated lecture entitled "Love May Have Nothing To Do With It" by Sierra College biology professor Keely Carroll on Friday, February 21, at 7:30 PM in Sewell Hall (room 111) on the Sierra College-Rocklin Campus. The tail of a peacock used to drive Darwin crazy! Why would this bird have this large appendage that makes it easier for the local tigers to eat him? From an evolutionary standpoint, it just didn't seem to make sense, unless you consider it in the spotlight of sexual selection. The evolutionary biology of mating systems attempts to explain that tail, why birds do funny dances, why some birds build structures just to impress the girls, why those girls care, and even why we only have two genders.
Join Keely Carroll as she discusses all of this and more on Friday February 21st at 7:30pm.
Please be advised that this talk may not be suitable for younger ears. |

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
SENATOR GAINES FIGHTS FOR CONSUMERS WITH INSURANCE RATE-REDUCTION BILL
SACRAMENTO -Senator Ted Gaines (R-Roseville) today introduced legislation that would save ratepayers money on their insurance premiums by mandating that the Department of Insurance automatically accept any rate-decrease application from an insurer.
 "Let's cut the bureaucracy and get some money back into people's pockets," said Senator Gaines. "If an insurer wants to lower rates, I want consumers to benefit immediately, without Department of Insurance delay."
Senate Bill 1173 would streamline the existing rate-reduction process. Currently, an insurer that wants to change a rate has to file a complete rate application with the Insurance Commissioner, which can trigger hearings and other administrative hold-ups that keep rates unduly high for extended periods, even when the insurers want to offer lower rates to their customers. Gaines' bill is a common-sense change that recognizes the reality of rate reductions.
"I can understand some procedural safeguards for rate increases, but who wants to wait to get a rate reduction?" said the Senator. "The Commissioner's office may get even more rate authority this year. It's critical we act now so consumers aren't robbed of potential savings by a slow and cumbersome process that stands in the way of Californians paying less for their insurance."
Senator Ted Gaines represents the 1st Senate District, which includes all or parts of Alpine, El Dorado, Lassen, Modoc, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, Shasta, Sierra and Siskiyou counties.

Gold Diggers of 1933 is a pre-code Warner Bros. musical film directed by
Mervyn LeRoy with songs by Harry Warren (music) and Al Dubin (lyrics),
staged and choreographed by Busby Berkeley.
Plot: The "gold diggers" are four aspiring actresses: Polly the ingenue
(Ruby Keeler), Carol the torch singer (Joan Blondell), Trixie the comedienne
(Aline MacMahon), and Fay the glamour puss (Ginger Rogers).
The film was made in 1933 during the Great Depression and contains numerous
direct references to it. It begins with a rehearsal for a stage show, which
is interrupted by the producer's creditors who close down the show because
of unpaid bills.the producer, Barney Hopkins (Ned Sparks), is in despair
because he has everything he needs to put on a show, except money.
Event proceeds benefit the Imaging for Life Campaign. For more information
