If people can't read or are so stupid as to ignore signs that clearly say no swimming, then they…Read More deserve the consequences.
Parents that let their children wade are encouraging disobedience in the future. Maybe we need a resident crocodile. That would keep the kids out.

I don't think human feet in the lake water are going to affect the lotus or lily pads.
I'd like to…Read More hear people call the 'dye' what I believe it is, a herbicide, or algaecide. Remember a few weeks back when a concern was raised on the 'sudden green bloom in the lake' that appeared? It was an algae bloom, common in bodies of water that warm.
Re the 'dye' -- I have not heard it is harmful to fish, fowl or mammals like us. There is life in the water, you may have see the billions of mosquito fish in the lake at the moment. I hope it isn't harmful.

Again, I think wadding is different than swimming. I'm not stupid and I did not see that sign right…Read More there. I knew there were signs that said no swimming, but I wouldn't think that my daughter putting her feet in the water is in any way swimming. There should be a chain across that area and a sign lower and closer to the entrance there.

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.

We took a walk around Echo Park Lake on Father's Day. The place looks great but I was very…Read More disappointed to see kids swimming in the lake. There is an entry point into the water near the Glendale Ave. side which is probably meant for maintenance. Kids were going into the water there and swimming out into the lake or lingering to wade and play in the water. The signs say no swimming allowed but they are not enough to keep kids out of the lake. I doubt the water lilies will thrive if people continue to swim there. We walked the path looking for some security people to ask them to get the kids out of the water but we couldn't find any. When we came home I called the non-emergency police number to ask for officers to head over there and clear the water. I read the same kind of comments in the Hidden Los Angeles page asking about reactions to the new park reopening. It seems there will have to be a fence or gate put up to keep kids out of the water, more park authorities policing the area and/or a lot of concerned citizens willing to speak up and pull kids out or call out the parents for allow their children to wade in. I hope the community gets involved and takes responsibility for keeping the water and the grounds clean so we can all enjoy it.

Maybe reporting sightings of "Reggie the alligator" could serve as a deterrent!

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)?

Let me say, I have written on PATCH previously, how I (who just so happens to serve as Highland…Read More Park's HHPNC LUC Sec.) was illegally evicted, with the assitance, and aquiesence, of LAPD NE DIV Officers, who claimed they were aware of the prescence of a life time member of The Avenues, A violent criminal, who spent most of his years in prison, was in fact one of their informers, and so, they "had" to differ to him, and escort ME, off the premises. The premises of a residence he wasn't even suppose to be at. Readers of this previous account will recall, that I was the legal resident, and this gang informer, proudly sporting AVENUES across his chest, was in clear violation of his parole, and was suppose to be living in El Sereno, not with his mother in Highland Park.
I now have had these individuals served, and we have a Hearing in Family Court, Down Town, on July 2nd.
I would be interested in communicating with Officer Thomas, but first I am busy composing a letter to Capt. Bert...

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.
