Whether it was seren dipitous timing, fate or other wise, Urban glanced out into the desert and spotted what he thought was a footprint. Upon further inspection, they discov ered 88 total prints in the vicin ity.Although the men weren’t positive if they were human footprints, after some careful research of stride length, size and radiocarbon dating, they now believe the prints do,

Truth be known, millions of Californians already bet on sports. Some do so legally by driving over the hill to Reno or by placing bets with their friendly neighborhood bookie.Others bet illegally with off shore sports books, but even though the action might not be state sanctioned, I'm not aware of anyone ever being arrested for placing such a bet.

After eggs hatch, nestlings spend their early days eating and living in the nest boxes until they are able to leave the nest, said Breanna Martinico, another paper author and an animal science Ph.D. can didate in ecology.

But natural tree cavities and old barn structures are not as plentiful as they once were, so installing nest boxes can attract the barn owls. And land managers who spend money installing these “nest box networks” have long asked about the best time of year to do maintenance and cleaning. Planning cleaning and mainte nance well before the start of the breed ing season is “part of making that nest box worthwhile,” Bourbour said.
In a paper published in the Journal of Wildlife Management, researchers found that the median egg laying date for barn owls (Tyto furcata) in California is Feb. 20, so cleaning nest boxes in the fall is recommended.“Theriskis you could disrupt a nest that has already started,” said lead author Ryan Bourbour, a Ph.D. candidate in ecology in the Department of Animal Sci ence at the time of the study. “We want to reduce disturbances to nesting pairs even in the weeks prior to egg laying.”

The proliferation of ghost guns poses a serious threat and the work that is done by the Vallejo Police Department is critical to our safety and security.”Thompson thanked Williams and other lawenforcement officers for their efforts on this front.

A bipartisan bill called the Electoral Count Reform Act, which would modernize the 1887 law, is currently in Congress. The bill “would protect the democratic process from future attacks from unprincipled politicians who would manipulate the system to install their favored candidates in the White House, regardless of the voters’ will,” The Wash ington Post Editorial Board wrote this week.
“Those people that run the election will be able to say they could not certify the election in their state, therefore the legislature in that state will make the decision as to who their electors will support,” Gar amendi said, adding that the state legislatures of several key swing states are controlled by Republicans.

We almost believed in the divinity of the monarch.More,we believed that the new queen, so beautiful and young and hopeful, would usher in a new era of Elizabethan greatness. A new Queen Bess set to restore the for tunes of Britain after the savagery of two world wars.
Californians heeded pleas to minimize consumption in the all-important late after noon and evening hours, thus averting rolling blackouts that grid managers had feared would be needed to avoid sys temic collapse. Luck also played a role — no major power plant shutdowns — as did having a healthy amount of reserve generation.

These definitions are very inaccurate a lot of the time. So what is silence then, you may ask. True silence is peaceful, tranquil and completely soundless. It is something that we have nothing of in our world. Even when things are quiet, there is always some noise. Birds. Cars. Rain. Wind. Our own breathing. So many things that unless we really listen, our ears will never pick up. There is no silence in our world. There is too much going on. Could we ever experience silence in the world we live in, or really any world for that matter? We are surrounded by noise. Even if all the outside noise stopped, we would still not have silence. We would hear ourselves. Our hearts beating. Our breathing.Tohave true silence we would need to stop breathing, stop beating and essen tially stop existing.
The record demand of more than 52,000 megawatts hit 80% of the state's electric power system, managed by the Independent System Operator, and was a successful stress test for the grid.

Elizabeth wasn’t a great mind, a visionary, or even a woman who understood a great deal of what she saw and was told. Arguably, she wasn’t even a very good mother. But she was, every day of her long, long reign, the embodiment of that word from the days of empireElizabeth“duty.”did her duty every day of her life and did it completely. How many thou sands of native dances did she endure? How many school choirs did she hear? How many awful heads of state did she break bread with and chat about the weather?

Save for the funeral of the beloved Eliza beth, one can expect a huge loss of stature by the monarchy. Charles, the new king, is an odd duck. He has good intentions, but he does not inspire. His son, the future King William, has yet to prove that he is more than an average young man with a strong-willed wife, the future Queen Catherine.Themonarchy will survive because Brits like it, not the way they came to love Eliza beth but because it is a useful institution. And, in a time of wobbly political leader ship, institutions are an important shock absorber to democracy’s vagaries.
1020, requires that California get 90% of its power from renewable sources by 2035 — the same year the state is now scheduled to end sales of gaso line-powered cars — and 95% by 2040 while retaining the 2045 deadline for converting to a carbon-free electrical grid.
massive complex of high-volt age lines linking generators and importing power from other states — will need upgrading, not only to handle the conversion of power sources, but to meet rising demands and to prevent fail ures that cause wildfires.
It wasn’t to be, of course. The winds of change were rustling, if not yet blowing, and Britain’s global manufacturing dominance wasn’t to return. Gradually, we learned that our vision of Britain as the great civilizing force, the happy world policeman, was fan tasy.But Elizabeth kept her promise. The promise she made on her 21st birthday, “I declare before you all, that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of that great imperial family to which we all belong.”

s California baked under record-high temperatures last Tuesday and the state’s residents turned up their air conditioners to cope, electricity consumption hit an all-time peak.
She kept to the letter and the spirit of that promise. Through all these decades of con vulsive change, Elizabeth has been as con stant as the Rock of Gibraltar, one of the remnants of the time when the sun really didn’t set on the British Empire.
A famous cover of the satirical magazine Private Eye had a picture of her greeting Nicolae Ceausescu, the Romanian dictator, and a balloon quote from her said, “Do you have any interesting hobbies?” One from her husband, the late Prince Philip, said, “Yes, he is a mass murderer.”

Meeting ambitious goals for zero-emission cars — the vast majority of them powered by batteries — will require much more power to recharge them so that Californians can con tinue to drive almost a billion miles a day. Simultaneously, the state wants to phase out gas-powered home appliances and other devices, such as lawn mowers, and replace them with electric models.
Never forget, the royals provide the great est show on Earth with all that pomp and ceremony, loved by the Brits and the tourists.

GGovernorov.GavinNewsom,
The sharp decline in solar power in late afternoon and early evening hours also requires banking renewable juice when it’s available so that the grid can continue to meet overnight demand — such as recharging the 30 million or so battery-powered cars we will be compelled to buy.
Your music student also will develop artistic and esthetic sensibilities. What makes a music performance interesting? What looks and sounds good and why?

Silence
With a monarch, people can believe there is an order beyond the disorder of the political process. When I came to the United States in 1963, I was struck by how we, the people, had no place to hang our emotions on — besides on the president — and, at any time, about half the people dislike the president.

City staff have proposed moving the Sky Track to just east of the pool com plex, claiming that there it will comply with noise ordinance decibel limits and not require the nightly locking that led to repeated vandalism at the original site. This despite the fact it will now be under lights and near a parking lot, an open invitation to afterhoursAdditionally,carousing.if moved to this new location, the Sky Track will still violate the city’s explicit day and night limits of 55 and 50 dBA for “repetitive peak” noise, will still generate intrusive nui sance noise, and will still require the daily locking the city wishes to avoid – to the tune of at least $10K to $15K a year, not to men tion untold hours of man agement oversight.
This particular volunteer’s foster youth was preparing to move into her college dorm. A few days before the move, the CASA youth called her CASA volunteer and asked her volunteer if she thought her car was big enough for her things.

And finally, I truly admire Dan Carson for his determination to run a positive campaign, without the typical mud sling ing that frequently occurs in this town.

Equally important is their past record of suc cesses if an incumbent. I urge you to vote for Dan Carson, so he can attain even greater things than he already has.
Fast forward to moving day. The CASA youth’s volunteer met her at her foster home and saw her foster youth ready to go, with one garbage bag of belongings in her car.

The obvious solution for this situation is to move the Sky Track somewhere the city can be confident it will not disturb neighbors day or night with noise that is “unnecessary, excessive and annoying” (prohibited by Davis municipal code) and where costly daily locking and unlocking will be unnecessary.Thisisjust plain common sense. Does the city really want to make the same mis take twice, relying on a new interpretation of the noise ordinance that is inconsis tent with past interpreta tions, and risk legal challenges? The city must acknowledge its previous errors and take every step to avoid them going forward.
e can assure you that noise at “just” 50 or 55 dBA is loud enough to penetrate walls and windows, disrupt sleep, disturb conversations and thought and basically deprive us of the “peaceful and quiet environment all Californians are entitled to” (Health and Safety Code 46000) and that we enjoyed for nearly 20 years before the Sky Track –without any public notice — was opened.
