>>california! where better to talk diversity! >>♪music.here's more than just a diversity of faces in california. this is our most bio-diverse state - ridiculously so! there are over 5,860 different types of plants here, 2,153 of them are endemic - they are found nowhere else. add to this over 540 birds, 214 mammals, 77 reptiles, 47 amphibians, 83 fish...and, well, you get the picture! why? the state is big - it's huge! but there are small places here where diversity is really high. it's more than size. to begin to answer the question we travel to one of these diverse corners, torrey pines state reserve, just outside of san diego. so here are some really local statistics. right here in san diego county we have three million people. that makes it the fifth most populated county in the united states. in fact, three million people makes it larger than the population of 20 out of the 50 states. all these people share this place, these 2.7 million acres that make up san diego county with 2,300 species of plants. 2,300 species that makes san dieg

her case sat on the shelf in the southern california investigations section of the california department of public health for 6 1/2 years. when i say 6 1/2 years, that means the case was closed in february of this year and the decision was to take no action against the caregiver. and when you ask about how many cases there are, one of the things that both ryan and i found when looking at the cases was that the number of revocations of certifications for caregivers dropped dramatically from where it was prior to addressing what the department regulators say is a backlog of cases that built up between 2004 and 2008. just to give you an example, prior to that, about a quarter of the cases -- of the complaints against caregivers resulted in revocations of certifications. once they started addressing what had developed as a massive backlog of complaints, sudden those revocations dropped dramatically. and you were only seeing about 7% to 9% of cases where revocations occurred. >> what do you think was happening? were they just telling investigators to dismiss the cases without thoroughly inves

california coverage, is not obamacare, it's really a separate entity that was formed in california. there is a separate governance and non-profit. what they have done is two changes one for individual and one for small employer groups. there is two separate exchanges, not one. what they have done that was a key decision point in my mind was that they standardized the health plans and the health plan benefit design that are in the exchange. the reason why this is important as i mentioned on the metallic here, if you standardized the metallic tiers, they are still confusing to the consumer as to how do you compare one plan to the other plan a because of the co-pays out of pocket. the covered california leadership said we are going to standardize plans and lead in this business and for this plan design and therefore the only thing that changes is your premium, negotiated rates and your model whether it's a p po or some other plan design. the >> important thing to know is that standardized designs are two different exchanges. back in may of this year, covered california, about a year ag

you still need to have generation in california so it doesn't clean california there. it reduces carbon, but it doesn't eliminate nox or particulate matter. that's how the buckets were set up. however, the reason some bundled recs are allowed and some out of state resources are allowed -- i shouldn't say it's not actually technically out of state. they can't deliver into california. they are allowed. there is some advantage to having some diversity in the utilities procurement plans. so that a few resources in california can't drive up the price. so, there's some advantages to keeping the overall price of the portfolio lower if you can have some mix in those resources. >> commissioner king, is that from the previous question? >> i guess. >> any other questions from commissioners? >> [speaker not understood]. >> commissioner josefowitz. >> so, the reason that the bucket 3com ~ bucket 3 compliance targets go down, the mentioned the reasons rps exist. which one of those four does that satisfy?
