I'm all for this bag ban! I too use my plastic grocery bags to pick up dog poops, carry random…Read More things and what not... but I still end up with HUNDREDS of them left in my bag drawer. Good move L.A. city!!!!

Kathy - the LA Business Journal profiled a couple of LA-based plastic bag companies. One was on the…Read More verge of going bankrupt as business from other cities who have already banned plastic bags dried up. The owners were bitter and blamed government for all of their problems and the fact that they had to lay off employees. The other business profiled converted their equipment to manufacture reusable bags, and saw a boom in their business, hiring more employees. Don't worry about business, the smart business owners will adapt, and the others... well, maybe they will find a desk job working for someone smarter than them. Their more nimble competitors will pick up the slack in employment.

Great point Elijah H!
Also, don't forget that just just because the stores don't charge you for the…Read More plastic bags now, they are in no way free- the costs are built in to the cost of the goods you buy. I do reuse my plastic as much as possible, but I still have a huge drawer full of them. And yes, you can still buy plastic bags if you want. I hope they do ban them- way to go, LA!

Congratulations to those grads, competition for those positions is tough. I hope they're ready for…Read More a dose of reality when they realize that 75% of the stress in teaching comes from dealing with the political BS the union crowd throws at TFA teachers... That's often why many talented TFA alumni give up and move on.

The opportunist here is the LACC District, who is essentially using this as an income-producing…Read More commercial space - leasing it out to charters and non-profits and using the proceeds for whatever budget shortfalls they've incurred. Don't blame the charter school who would be paying rent wherever they locate - blame the horrendous mismanagement of the LACC Trustees.

This is the message I sent to Mr. Santiago.
Dear Mr. Santiago:
The community of North East Los…Read More Angeles needs more community college access for its citizens. As a high school teacher for 14 years, I have seen my students struggle to get classes at Glendale Community College as they have been cut.
Please return the Van de Kamps site to the intended purpose: a community college.
Thank you,

I looked at this school for my son and was impressed with the educational experiences available to…Read More these young people. Right now I am looking for classes for my daughter who needs ESL classes and East LAC is too far for her to go alone (16 years old). This community needs more choices for the adults and youth of this area. Why are the LACC Trusetees not inacting the choices we voters selected? There may be more to the story but the fact remains that the educational needs for this area are not being addressed by the current use of this property.

I say thanks to my kids dad EVERYday not just once a year. My comment was to assist people in general with info to keep their newborn safe...get over yourself

I am a Dad and I think keeping newborns safe is very important. I do want to add that I think kids…Read More can be messed up in Lesbian and single mom households where Dads are not presents. Look at the freak that Cher has as a kid. Same with Barbra Streisand.

You don't get it Sharon. This was a short article to honor dad's. It had nothing to do with…Read More newborn sleep. You took it upon yourself to CHANGE the subject of the article. If you want to "assist people in general with info to keep their newborn safe", then start your own blog. You need to get over yourself.

People, Mr. Lee may have made some candid comments about his frustration to Ajay, the blogger on…Read More this site. I really don't think he meant to give a middle finger to anyone. He probably would have said things a little differently if he knew the context in which they would be repeated. Give the guy a break.

I didn't know about this Nursery. I'll stop by for a visit. I wish the blogger had told me what…Read More types of plants he carries, pricing, and health of plants, and things of that nature which influence my buying decisions.
I'm really not interested in questions on his views of global politics and definitely not interested in inciting 'turf wars' (pun intended) between neighborhoods.

Does anyone care?
2) Local governments, when denying written requests for public records, will no…Read More longer be required to give a reason for the denial. SB 71 purports to make that common sense requirement (found in Gov Code sec. 6255(b)) completely optional. What does optional mean? You can be sure that all lawyers for cities, counties or school boards,once they become aware of this change, will advise their clients to give no reasons for denying records.

While many infectious diseases were once all but eliminated from the United States, there's evidence…Read More that climate change is a factor that could help them expand their range and make a comeback.
http://www.nrdc.org/health/climate/disease.asp
The increases in heat, precipitation, and humidity can allow tropical and subtropical insects to move from regions where infectious diseases thrive into new places. This, coupled with increased international travel to and from all 50 states, means that the U.S. is increasingly at risk for becoming home to these new diseases.

Could we get further explanation on the 80% who show no symptoms. Does that mean they are infected…Read More but will never manifest symptoms and have some type of natural immunity, or is it just currently dormant and they will eventually manifest symptoms? Also once they have it, can it be transmitted in the blood (i.e. if they are blood donors)?

Why is this a university matter? It's a criminal act and a police/ public safety matter. If he's a…Read More serial rapist, put him on trial and jail him, if he's guilty. I know a lot of colleges handle what they consider to be minor criminal complaints, but rape is not a minor complaint and it should be handled by authorities that are equipped to handle it, which clearly Occidental College is not.

Don, "Most men are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." Abraham Lincoln, and…Read More Will Rogers.
When you combine that with how we project what we think the world is,....well, it is all in our minds.
We are products of our sub-conscious. I read the basic early book on it many years ago, "The power of your subconscious mind", by Joseph Murphy. I read the book three time in a row, and began the process of changing my brain pattern to a very positive outlook. In all honesty, I was in the middle of changing things at that time and was ready for the info then.
Almost no one changes their actual thought process and types of habits. Some ingrained from infancy, I am still working on.
Sometimes I think of the girl who was the inspiration for the movie "homeless to Harvard" She said that all she did was, "everyday there are options, I just decided to do the right one everyday."
Also, will smith in the based on a true story,"The pursuit of happiness" He went from homeless to multi-millionaire.
Without the state of mind to change, they would have to win the lottery, and those odds are next to zero.

Well, one police commander just got pulled over and got a DUI. Kudo's for the officers that did not…Read More give him a break just because he was a commanding officer for LAPD.
White attorney's and white people get pulled over and get DUI's all the time. If you do auto insurance or work for the courts you would see if. I guess you don't.
Look at the white actors that keep getting pulled over and arrested for alcohol and drugs.

Cars and homes get broken into at night, and drug dealing is going down at all times. The…Read More most obvious occurs next to Glenrock, as well as on residential streets. I am sorry you got blinded by the spotlight, but I am glad to know there are officers who are working to protect us at all hours.
heywood June 19, 2013 at 08:52 am
It was a marked Police car. In my opinion, if the police wanted to check me out they could have…Read More simply turned on their red lights and I would have stopped instead of blinding me with their spotlight. I too, am glad that the Police are patrolling our neighborhoods more as there have been many residential and vehicle break-ins over the past few months. I believe that most of the residential robberies have occurred during daylight hours. In any case, it would have been a safer procedure for the officer to have used the red lights to stop me than to point the spotlight in my face.
