Note about linked articles: The Sacramento Business Press requires a subscription in order to read full articles. The Sacramento Bee has a new restriction on the number of articles that can be viewed for free per month, and they have stonewalled answering my question about whether my iPad subscription counts. It is unfortunate that these limits apply to articles linked here, but I think it is better to link and at least make you aware of them, than to not link at all.
