San Fernando Valley - More Than What Meets the Eye
Urbanized San Fernando Valley, so well-known as just "The Valley, " is located in the northwestern part of Los Angeles City, California, USA. Most recognized for its large range of movie production studios, San Fernando Valley is one of the world's largest low-budget movie production locations.
The Valley is also home to numerous parks, both large and small. Los Angele's largest municipal park, Griffith Park, is located at the southeastern section of the valley, just linking to the eastern end of the Hollywood Hills. Two massive recreational parks are located between Sepulveda Dam and Hansen Dam, which are flood control basins in Los Angeles. Furthermore, O'Melveny Park over Granada Hills and Chatsworth Park towards the northwest valley provide more outdoor recreational and leisure space.
San Fernando Valley is undoubtedly a part of Los Angeles, but a visitor might be surprised with its laid-back, almost exclusively suburban development style. Most of the time, traveling is done via automobile. Interstate 405, US Route 101, State Route 118 and Interstate 5 run across The Valley, easily connecting the area with LA.
The Valley enjoys the same weather conditions as in the Los Angeles Basin, which is often dry and sunny. Summer months are considerably hotter and Winter brings in chillier weather, in comparison to the Los Angeles Basin. The temperature resting in the nineties is common during Summer, with it often reaching into the hundreds during end July-early August.
As mentioned earlier, San Fernando Valley is home to several motion picture, television and recording production studios. These include NBC-Universal, ABC, Walt Disney Studios, Warner Brothers and CBS Studio Center. Before these studios became known as part of the valley, the major economic players were from the aerospace technology industry, including Lockheed, Marquardt and Rocketdyne. These companies have moved on to better regulated markets and cheaper labor environments, but the studios remain to this day to bring some glitz and glamor to The Valley.
If you take the time to trail along the Sunset Strip, spare some time to drop in at The Valley too. You can stay overnight at one of the nearby Pasadena hotels, such as the Langham Hotel Pasadena.

New Terror Threat: Surgically Implanted bombs. Will the TSA be asking you to remove your internal organs?
http://news.yahoo.com/us-warning-airline-plot-implant-bombs-people-162151314.html
"US officials have warned airlines terror groups may be mulling implanting bombs under the skins of passengers, reports said Wednesday, but stressed the alert was not linked to any specific threat.
The Los Angeles Times said the US administration had warned airlines that extremist groups were considering surgically implanting explosives into people to try to beat enhanced airport security measures.
Passengers flying to the United States could now face even tougher screening procedures, a spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration, Nicholas Kimball, told the daily.
"These measures are designed to be unpredictable, so passengers should not expect to see the same activity at every international airport," Kimball said, adding existing methods could not detect plastic explosives under the skin."

Police motorcycle officers sue over ticket quotas

LOS ANGELES?Ten motorcycle officers say their Los Angeles police supervisors retaliated because they balked at traffic ticket quotas.
The Los Angeles Times ( http://lat.ms/oTq4I4) says the Superior Court suit filed last week by West Traffic Bureau officers claims LAPD supervisors punished them by denying overtime and giving them poor performance reviews, among other things.
The Police Department has long denied there are traffic ticket quotas, which are illegal under California law.
In April, a jury awarded $2 million to two Los Angeles West Traffic motorcycle officers because LAPD supervisors had punished them for complaining about traffic ticket quotas.
The officers say supervisors rank them against other officers based on the number of tickets they write and the number of cars they impound.

Is it misleading to say that fewer OB-GYNs in America offering Abortion services equals less Abortions overall?
The Los Angeles Times reported that only 14%, or about 1 in 7, obstetricians-gynecologists provided abortions, which would be a drop from the 2008 figure of 22%.
But then again, aren't most physicians in the US generally far older than the median population?
Aren't many of the OB-GYNs of retirement age anyway?
I personally think it's because many doctors (including abortionists) came to retirement age and ended their practices, not because anti-abortion groups just shut down abortion clinics.
>> Other doctors, such as family practice physicians, may also provide abortions. And there is some evidence that the number of ob-gyns willing to provide abortions may increase in the future. The survey, conducted by researchers at the University of Chicago and Duke University, found that younger doctors, ages 35 or younger, were the most likely to perform abortions, compared with other age groups. <<

Why do the same US billionaires torpedo both Republican and Democrat presidential campaigns?
Does it ultimately and inarguably prove that US legislation is bought and sold by US richclass -- rather than deliberated?
"Simmons had donated over $1 million to Perry's gubernatorial campaigns.
"A report in the Los Angeles Times in August examined the case of the Texas waste site and Perry's ties to Simmons, a conservative who funded the Swift Boat campaign that helped torpedo John Kerry's presidential bid."
