Initiative Reform
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is on board for reforming the initiative process in California, and now he's got a 400-page blueprint. From the Center for Governmental Studies, the blueprint tackles everything from campaign spending to constitutional amendments.

Rising Rice Prices
Some Asian Californians, alarmed by rising rice prices, have been stockpiling. That's spurred wholesalers like Costco and Sam's Club to impose per-person limits -- but agriculture experts say there's no domestic rice shortage. Indeed, farmers in California's Central Valley grow more rice than any other state with the exception of Arkansas.
Guests:
• Jim Hill, agronomist at UC Davis
