BREAKING NEWS Out Of Southern California…
HELL YEAH!!!
A customer shot an armed robber through the drive-thru window at a Cozy Corner in Santa
Ana, CA, on Saturday night.
And it was all captured on surveillance video.
The robber was hit twice in the torso and collapsed just outside the fast food restaurant,
Gateway Pundit reports.
HELL YEAH!
KTLA reports:
Santa Ana police responded to the Cozy Corner Drive-In at 426 N. Harbor Blvd. shortly after
midnight Saturday.
Officers determined that a suspect was in the midst of a robbery, when someone in the
drive-thru shot at the alleged robber inside the restaurant, Cmdr.
Michael Claborn said.
The person responsible for the reported robbery stumbled outside, and was subsequently treated
on scene and taken to a hospital, Claborn stated.
Authorities did not release the alleged robber's name, but they said he was expected to survive
and that he was arrested on suspicion of robbery, the Orange County Register reported.
The shooter fled the scene, the commander told KTLA.
No description of that person was provided.
However, Claborn said the shooter was a customer who was waiting for his food in the drive-thru
line, the newspaper reported.CBS Los Angeles adds:
The Cozy Corner's security cameras were rolling at 12:43 Saturday morning when police
say a masked man entered the restaurant with a black revolver and demanded money.
He threw a bag at one of the workers and demanded she fill it with cash.
Her hands shaking, she filled the bag.
As he grabbed the bag, shots rang out.
At least one shot hits the drink machine.
Next you see the man turns and he is wounded and falls to the floor.
"Tres balazos," said witness and restaurant cook Daniel Acevedo.
That translates into three bullets.
Detectives marked at least two bullet holes.
Acevedo said the shots came from the drive-thru window.
Security video shows a car fleeing into the night onto Harbor Boulevard.The shooter fled.
The would-be robber was found across the street from the eatery and taken to a hospital.
Laurie Perez sorts out the bizarre story.
HELL YEAH!
THAT DUDE WAS A GOOD SHOT!
Hopefully they got his order right and gave it to him on the house!
Just another reason to allow law abiding citizens to be allowed to carry firearms.
The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

✅ California begins digital number plate trial | CarAdvice - Duration: 1:57.
Drivers in California can now opt to have digital number plates fitted to their vehicles, but take up is expected to be low
According to the Sacramento Bee, the new digital plates will cost a pretty penny: the initial purchase price is US$699 ($925) excluding fitting, and there's also a US$7 ($9
30) per month fee. The plates being trialled are made by Reviver Auto, and feature an e-ink display, similar to the one used on the Amazon Kindle
These displays require much less power to operate than LCD or OLED screens, and produce an image that's easily visible in bright sunlight
Reviver Auto's digital number plates include their own battery, processing unit, GPS receiver, and wireless connectivity
The latter system allows drivers to renew their registration without having to step into a DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) office, or affix registration stickers to their plates
If the car is reported as being stoled, the plate automatically displays "STOLEN", and allows police to track the vehicle, or discover its last known position if the plates are removed
When the vehicle is parked, plate info can be shrunk into the top right-hand corner, and the majority of the display used for messages, traffic alerts, or advertising

Democrats' California conundrum could cost them the House - Duration: 11:02.
Democrats' California conundrum could cost them the House
Few Democrats anywhere present themselves as more inveterate opponents of Donald Trump than California Lt.
Gov.
Gavin Newsom, the clear front-runner for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in next weeks primary.
And yet few Democrats anywhere are facing more pointed accusations than Newsom of pursuing a strategy that could help Trump achieve his highest political goal in 2018: maintaining Republican control of the US House.
The charge against Newsom, which his camp forcefully rejects, undercores how profoundly the dynamics of Californias unusual top-two primary system distort the typical calculations for candidates and the two major parties.
One week before the June 5 vote, California Republicans face the near-certainty of failing to advance a candidate to the general election for US Senate, and the risk, though fading, of failing to place a candidate on the November ballot for Governor.
Democrats, meanwhile, are terrified that they will be shut out next week in one or more Republican-held US House districts, particularly in suburban Orange County.
Party strategists see winning these seats as key steps in their path back to majority control.
The two anxieties collided when Newsom ran an ad earlier this month effectively bolstering the leading Republican gubernatorial candidate John Cox.
By promoting Cox, Newsom reduced the odds that he would face another Democrat in November and increased his own chances of victory.
But he faced complaints that he was threatening Democratic hopes of recapturing the US House because a Republican in the governors race would give California GOP voters more reason to turn out this fall and thus benefit their candidates for the House.
There are all kinds of unintended consequences that are coming out now, says Mark Baldassare, president and CEO of the non-partisan Public Policy Institute of California.
An experiment that may have backfired .
Under the new system, approved by California voters in a 2010 ballot proposition, the top two finishers in the primary for each office --from governor to US Senator, and US House to the state legislature-advance to the general election, regardless of party.
The plans supporters initially sold it as a way to promote more moderate candidates, to empower independent voters, and to weaken the hold of the two major parties on the electoral process.
But in fact, the complex geometry of these open contests has encouraged a new peak of partisan maneuvering and manipulation, and forced each party to systematically intervene to try to influence the selection of the other sides nominees.
As a senior adviser to one statewide California candidate put it: It is constant three dimensional chess you are playing here..
Though the state has run three previous elections under the top-two rule, this is the first contest that is fully pressure-testing the system.
In 2014, the one previous governors race conducted under these rules, incumbent Democrat Jerry Brown cruised to re-election.
And in the past three elections, Democrats inexplicably failed to mount serious bids against House Republicans in several districts that were trending away from the GOP.
But this year, the open governors seat has drawn four serious Democratic candidates and two Republicans.
In the House, after years of torpor, Democrats are fielding a flood of candidates in five Republican-held House seats around Los Angeles that Hillary Clinton carried against Trump in 2016.
Those seats, as well as two other Republican-held seats in the agricultural Central Valley that Clinton carried, are vital to Democratic hopes of recapturing the overall House majority.
Under this heightened pressure, the top-two system has unquestionably sprung some leaks.
A local failure could have national consequences .
Most attention has focused on the Democratic dilemma in Orange County.
The Democrats began this year with high hopes in the four seats that Clinton carried across that steadily-diversifying county.
But they now face the real risk that Republicans will claim both of the top spots and shut out Democrats for November in three of them.
In descending order of threat, Democrats are confronting that possibility in the seat held by Rep.
Dana Rohrabacher and the districts being vacated by retiring Republicans Ed Royce and Darrell Issa.
(Because there are no meaningful Republican challengers to GOP incumbents Mimi Walters in Orange County and Steve Knight north of Los Angeles, Democrats dont face that risk in those Clinton-won seats.).
In all three of the seats where Democrats face a potential shutout, Republicans have candidates with much stronger resumes in elected office, from former state Assembly member Young Kim and Orange County Board of Supervisors member Shawn Nelson in Royces seat; to former State Assembly GOP Leader Scott Baugh, who is challenging Rohrabacher; to former Assembly member Diane Harkey and current member Rocky Chavez in the Issa seat.
None of the leading Democrats contending for any of the seats hold elected office, or began the race with much name identification in their districts -- a remnant of the partys long-time failure to invest in building its support in Orange County.
Thats made it tougher for any one candidate to consolidate support.
This local failure has forced the national Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee into extraordinary exertions to avoid losing these seats to the GOP in June.
The party committee has invested heavily in voter registration and get-out-the-vote efforts to combat the traditionally low turnout of several key Democratic constituencies during the June primaries.
It has successfully leaned on several lower-tier Democratic candidates to drop out, hoping to consolidate the Democratic vote.
Most dramatically, it has invested $3.5 million into an array of television and radio ads meant to lift a Democrat into the top two.
Thats included negative ads trying to weaken Republican candidates in each race (principally Baugh, Nelson and Chavez).
More controversially, the DCCC has also tried to lift one Democrat from the field by running ads for Gil Cisneros, a lottery winner and philanthropist in the Royce seat, and Harley Rouda, an attorney and entrepreneur in the Rohrabacher district.
And yet even after all this work, Democrats are still biting their nails.
The Democrats are especially on edge about the Rohrabacher seat, where the incumbents weakness is leaving a large number of GOP-leaning votes available to Baugh.
These are all within the margin of error, and thats what is so scary, said Democratic consultant Dave Jacobson, who is advising candidates in the Royce and Rohrabacher seats.
The maneuvering in the governors race is adding to Democratic anxiety and uncertainty.
It has raised the possibility that even if Democrats survive next weeks challenge and place a candidate onto the general election ballot, the Republican odds of holding the Orange County anyway seats may be rising. .
Grumbling about Newsoms maneuvers .
Newsom triggered the controversy earlier this month when he ran his ad criticizing Cox, an underfunded San Diego business executive who lost several races for office while living in Illinois, for being too close to Trump and too opposed to gun control.
Thats the sort of message viewers might expect from Newsom, a liberal Democrat, in the general election.
But airing during the primary, the ad, in effect, came with a big wink: by attacking Cox from the left, Newsom was actually bolstering his credentials with Republican voters and increasing the chances that Cox would finish second next week ahead of any Democrat in the race.

Inside California Education: Engineering a Future - Duration: 6:37.
♪♪
Nathaniel: So basically this blue rail right here
you see that?
This ground has to go to that blue rail.
And the next one would be echo.
Marinda: These students are engaging with engineers through
a unique program called NSBE.
Gary: NSBE is an acronym for the
National Society of Black Engineers.
It's an organization that's dedicated to increasing
the number of culturally responsible black engineers
who excel academically, succeed professionally
and positively impact the black community.
Nathaniel: I wasn't exposed to STEM and what it could do for me
until I was already in college.
So I really hope that you guys take these experiences
and these sessions and really work with them,
and see if it is right for you.
But learn something at least.
Nathaniel: These kids are engaging with technology and
products of engineering continuously every day.
It directs our lives.
Having these students have a better understanding of what
they're interacting with from an early age is going
to help improve their academics and help them
understand what's to come.
Who's excited for today?
Marinda: NSBE was started in 1975 by six engineering students
at Purdue University.
There had been various groups of black engineering
students all around the country
that existed independently.
They would bring all of these engineers together to
create the National Society of Black Engineers.
Today NSBE now includes more than 500 chapters and nearly
16,000 active members in the U.S.
and abroad.
NSBE chapters include collegiate,
professional, and pre-collegiate members,
with 11 NSBE Junior chapters throughout California.
Megan: What's the difference between speed and velocity?
Student: Speed is like how fast you are going...
Nathaniel: I work with recruiting professionals in
Silicon Valley the East Bay NSBE junior chapter.
And what we do is we work with delivering STEM to
these students from second grade to 12th grade.
Frances: Primarily the program is facilitated by what we call
coaches who are all professional engineers
and college engineering students.
♪♪
Megan: 363!
♪♪
Marinda: NSBE chapters hold programs throughout the
school year, including weekend, over the summer
and after school.
For this chapter meeting at Pittsburg High School,
class starts bright and early Saturday morning.
Megan: First law again?
Student: Object at rest stays at rest.
An object in motion stays in motion in the same speed and
same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Megan: -Yes!
You guys get me so excited about physics,
I love it!
Frances: Most of the classes that are taught here at NSBE
the kids are learning scientific inquiry,
the engineering process, presentations.
They're learning skills that are transferable to any
career or any class that they have.
Arielle:So now both you guys are going to work together and
you're actually going to build this.
This is the propulsion system we're working
on right now.
Marinda: NSBE is not meant to replace what's happening
in the classroom.
Instead, it supplements what students are being taught.
Megan: 1-2!
Gary: There's certain aspects of classroom
learning that can be mundane to a student,
particularly a student who's highly bright and highly
active and may not want to pay attention all the time,
but you take that same student and give them
something to build or something to construct or
something to enact, that student then gets motivated,
Marinda: NSBE helps to stimulate and reinforce the opportunities
that are in reach to students through the study
of engineering.
Teaching students to think for themselves.
Kimberly: My son is the light of my world.
And I wanted him to be part of NSBE
for multiple reasons.
I wanted him to be part of an organization that
esteemed education, that made it normal to be smart,
and that made it fun to be smart,
and to be Black.
...make it go higher.
Gary: We can see athletes and entertainers and even
doctors and lawyers on television and in media.
We don't often see engineers,
scientists or STEM professionals depicted
in a popular media I think programs like NSBE will
continue to be necessary until we reach parity,
until this underrepresentation is no
longer a thing and when the numbers of African American
and African diaspora engineers are at the same
levels as levels in the population,
then we won't need to talk about this anymore.
We've made a lot of progress certainly,
but we've got a long way to go.
Megan: Who can tell me what the difference between
average speed and instantaneous speed is?
Makayla.
Average speed is your speed over a whole length of time,
and instantaneous speed is speed at a certain moment.
Megan: Yes, perfect.
Frances: I see the successes,
I see the kids graduating from college.
I see the parents being proud of their children
because they've succeeded in something.
Alright!
Nathaniel: The reward to me is now being able to be a
product of NSBE, be a product of my community,
and then also help out additional communities.
Marinda: Supporters say it's not realistic to expect that
every student exposed to NSBE
will become an engineer.
But they say programs like these provide a foundation
to build on for the future.
Gary: I would tell parents to give your son or daughter
a chance and let them be exposed to this.
You may decide or they may decide that it's not for
them but I'm a parent myself and my philosophy has always
been to expose my daughters to as much as possible,
let them chart their own path after that.
Megan: On the count of three: 1-2-3!
Narr: If you drive on roads or use electronic devices,
you can thank an engineer.
Engineers play key roles in creating all kinds of
structures and products, from airports to bridges,
from home appliances to farm machinery.
Tens of thousands of engineering jobs are
expected to open in the coming decade,
with a median salary of $91,000 dollars a year.

Can You Punish The Other Driver's Carelessness In A Crash? – California Injury Attorney Frank Nunes - Duration: 2:41.
You were hit by somebody that you can't believe struck you, and you wonder how can we not
just get compensated for the harms and losses you have, but how can you punish this bad
driver?
Hi, I'm Frank Nunes, a California personal injury trial attorney practicing in the state
of California.
Generally, if someone's conduct arises above and beyond carelessness, because we all know
that crashes happen, you can actually ask that that person be punished or made to be
an example through the court system.
These are called punitive or exemplary damages.
Unlike the damages that you normally seek to pay you back or compensate you for your
past medical bills, past wage loss, future medical bills, future wage loss, loss of income
and loss of use of your car, punitive or exemplary damages are designed to punish the driver
for conduct that is particularly egregious or careless in certain situations.
The most common example of that is somebody who is injured in a crash caused by an impaired
or drunk driver.
In those situations the injured parties can make a claim, not just for the harms and losses
they suffered, but also adding a claim to punish that driver, or make an example of
that driver, for conduct which is reprehensible in our community.
In recent years the California courts have placed limits on the amount of punitive damages
one can recover from a bad driver, but that's something that is not necessarily of your
concern.
The main concern is if you get to that point in your case where you're seeking punitive
damages most often it's negotiated between the injured parties and the individual who
caused the harm.
Well, that's it on today's video on how to punish a bad driver.
By the way, if you've found this information helpful subscribe to our YouTube channel.
Why?
So you can continue to enjoy great new content every time we post another great educational
video.
And if you have questions I want you to pick up the phone and call me.
I can answer your questions.
I answer questions like this every day.
You can reach me at 559-436-0850.
I'm Frank Nunes and thanks for watching.

Scary Camping Experience | Shasta Lake, California (Day 2) - Duration: 10:17.
Did you kiss that snake?
Give the snake a kissie.
Awww.
(Music)
Good morning, everyone.
Let me start this vlog off by telling you how freaky it was last night.
Josh and I got in our tent pretty late, I guess it was around like 10:30 or 11:00.
The fire was pretty big when we decided to go to sleep, so we were sitting in the tent
awake just waiting on the fire to die down a bit.
And before we came camping, I read that this place, Shasta Lake, is black bear country.
So you need to store your food away from your tent.
So we did that.
We couldn't find a tree to hang it in, so we just kinda set it onthe ground but away
from our tent.
I didn't think there would be any bears on an island.
I'm like, well we're on an island.
Surely there's not any bears here.
But we didn't know so we stored our food and stuff away from us just to be safe.
So we're sitting in our tent last night and we're watching the fire and it's quiet because
everyone's asleep and we're on a little island and we start hearing, like, the bags rustling.
And I asked Josh, "Did you hear that?" and he's like, "Yea, it's just a squirrel."
And I'm like, "Okay."
And I don't know, it kept going on and on, the rustling.
And we kept hearing like leaves crackling and stuff and he kept telling me it was a
squirrel.
And I think that he was telling me it was a squirrel just to convince himself it was
a squirrel.
Caue it was pretty freaky.
Well the leaves crackling and stuff started getting closer to our tent and I was freaking
out thinking there's a bear.
And I was thinking, like, "Ok, what are the statistics that a bear will tear down a tent
to get to the person inside?"
Anyways, I was freaking out.
Then it got even scarier because I saw a shadow outside.
Like right over here, a shadow walked by and it was big.
And I was like, Oh my God.
Like I started thinking of the show Supernatural, like all the people who are camping and they
see the shadows outside their tent right before they're attacked by some sort of a monster.
And then Josh had the window of the tent open right here because he was watching the fire
and he saw something like over by the picnic table and he kinda whispered he saw something,
but like my mind, I was like surely he didn't.
So I kinda waited a minute but he looked super tense and so I was like, "Did you say you
see something?"
And he's like "Yea." (laughing) Oh my gosh.
And so we sat here like still, just peeking out of the window and we realized it was a
deer!
There was a whole heard of deer outside of our campground, like everywhere.
There was even a big buck.
There was several does.
They were everywhere.
They were just walking around, scouting out the area.
So, much rather have a heard of deer outside of our tents than a bear.
But they did get into our food and they ate our pretzels and they ate our fruit.
Which is sad because we had apples and bananas and that's what I was planning on eating today.
So that's gone, but they didn't eat everything.
I stored some of the stuff in a zipper tent case, so they didn't get to that.
So we still have plenty of food.
So today is a cold and cold, rainy day.
I'm cuddling with this girl.
There's not much to do because we're stuck on this island.
It's suppose to be cold and rainy all day.
We are at Lake Shasta, by the way, in Northern California.
If you did not see our previous vlog.
It's really beautiful here.
And now we're camping in the rain so yay.
(rain and faint music)
So we actually
have a fire going in the rain, thanks to Josh.
And this is our view this morning.
It looks very Pacific Northwesty right now, but I don't know, is this considered the Pacific
Northwest?
I guess that's debatable.
Some people do consider Northern California the Pacific Northwest because it's so similar
to Southern Oregon.
Yea, sorry I didn't know if that was the right word.
But some people do not, so it's like a big debate.
Do you consider Northern California to be the Pacific Northwest?
I kinda do.
If someone told you they were going to Northern California when we were in Tennessee, would
you think it was the Pacific Northwest?
No.
Like, cause the redwoods and stuff.
First thought, no.
The children are in the tent over there hiding out the rain.
And this is our other tent setup that we've got.
Everyone's finally making their way out of the tents.
So me and the kids have decided that we're gonna walk around the island and explore a
little bit while the rain's let up and hopefully it doesn't start pouring rain on us while
we're walking.
But we're gonna try to find the deer that found us last night.
They have to be on this island somewhere.
This is the island that we are exploring.
There's like camping sites everywhere.
All over this island, it's so cool.
There's another bathroom up there, so it's like there's little bathrooms all over the
island too.
It's such a cool place.
There's the lake down there.
It feels like we're on an island in the ocean.
Check out this tree.
It feels cool.
There's no bark on it, huh.
At all.
It looks like a carved, fake..
(Merrick: She just shaved.)
Raya wants to feel it.
(Merrick: She shaved.)
And the trail continues.
It's so cool.
It doesn't look like there's any camping spots over here, it's just like trails that connect.
They just go around the whole island.
Raya, look.
It's a tree just your size.
(laughing) I love this tree.
This is all there is to it.
It looks like a branch just growing out of the ground.
Say bye bye, tree.
Bye. (laughing)
I feel like we should name that tree, what's it's name, Merrick?
Douglas.
Douglas.
Man, this is so pretty.
Look.
Doesn't it feel like this is the ocean?
This lake is so big and you can't see out, like any land because of the clouds so it
just looks like the ocean horizon.
The trail splits off right there.
We can go this way, or we can go this way.
And we're going this way.
Merrick and I just made it to the top.
Blaine had to stop a little ways back because he said his stomach was hurting and we swear
we just heard like a tree fall or something.
Our feet are soaking wet.
Our socks are mushy.
And this island is way bigger than I thought it was.
Is it bigger than you thought it was, Merrick?
Raya is getting too heavy to carry in my arms.
My arms were killing me.
She's getting so big and I don't have my carrying backpack.
So she's getting a shoulder ride.
This is so much more convenient, but even on my shoulders she's getting heavy.
Such a big girl.
She's almost 2.
She'll be 2 in a couple months, it's crazy.
Look at that.
That looks so cool with the water and the tree and the trail.
I love this place.
And then there's water over there too.
And a boat.
We were just passing through this way and we came across Douglas again and realized
this is his parents!
And his sister.
Oh, his sister!
A whole family of Douglases.
I think this is my favorite island.
I just love the scenery here.
We made it back to the campsite.
Everyone was just feeling really tired.
I don't know if it's the rain or because we had a busy day yesterday, but no one really
feels like hiking and Raya, she didn't even want to walk at all.
I had to carry her the whole time which is unusual cause Raya always wants to walk.
But now she's playing with some sticks.
She has a stick that looks like a duck.
Did you make this, Josh?
Or did you just find it coincidentally?
Well no, I was working on Blaine's fire stick and that was part of the bark that I was prying
off of it.
There was a small little twig coming out of that and that's what made the eye.
Ooooh.
And I found this one, which is snake shaped.
So it's the snake stick.
Ssssss.
Woah.
And Raya's playing with them.
(duck sounds)
Raya loves ducks, that's her favorite animal.
Ssssss.
(kissing noises) Ah! It's a kissing snake.
(laughing) Did you kiss that snake?
Give the snake a kissie.
Awwww.
Woah, check out the mist coming off of the lake.
Kinda difficult to see it.
I'm not sure if the camera's even catching it.
And then the mountains are really pretty also because of the fog.
(light music)
I'm down here at the lake shore by myself right now just walking around and
exploring.
I just can't get over how pretty this place is.
I honestly just thought it would be like every other lake I've ever been to, but there's
something about this lake that's just so amazing.
This lake is actually a national forest.
And here's the sign for the island that we're on right now.
They have these signs located all along the shoreline.
There's a campground right over there and there's actually a road connecting it to the
marina.
So if something happened, we could just kayak right across there to the campsite and then
walk to the marina where our car is, which would be a lot quicker and a lot easier than
kayaking all the way back.
So we're actually not that far from being able to get to our car without having to kayak
all the way back.
(whispering) Raya fell asleep in a little nest, here.
It's so cute.
Well, it is still raining.
It's been going all day.
I just keep hoping the rain'll let up and it doesn't.
I ended up taking a nap with Raya and now we're eating beans.
We've got tortillas and we're just eating plain beans.
Anyways, the cold is starting to seep into my bones and it's starting to get miserable.
We're all just ready for it to be tomorrow already.

Inside California Education: Digital Media in the Classroom - Duration: 7:59.
♪♪
Michael: THE DAY BEGINS BEFORE DAWN FOR
VERNON BISHO'S ADVANCED MEDIA PRODUCTION STUDENTS
AT CENTER HIGH SCHOOL IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY.
Emmy: We get here about 6:45, school actually starts about
7:40, 7:45, so we're here about an hour before
everyone else is.
Bisho: Morning, Adele.
Adele: Morning Bisho.
Michael: THE STUDENTS ARE HERE EVERY MORNING,
FIVE DAYS A WEEK, TO PRODUCE THE SCHOOL'S DAILY NEWSCAST.
Bisho: Right here.
Keep going.
Back up, back up.
Let's just take it from the top.
My zero-period class is the advanced class,
where there's a lot less lecture,
where I'm not giving them an assignment that they
all do together.
The students are pretty much immersed in media.
Alright, here we go: 3, 2, 1...
Michael: THE NEWSCAST IS CREATED IN CENTER HIGH
SCHOOL'S STATE-OF-THE-ART TV STUDIO,
GIVING STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE
A REAL-WORLD TELEVISION PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT.
Your School.
Your Stories.
The news you can use.
Dyson: What we do every day is the News You Can Use.
What it is is it tells all of our students and teachers
and parents what goes on around campus.
Any, basically, news that you can use.
Anchors: So stay tuned because you don't
want to miss this.
Cougar Connection starts now.
Bisho: Ok, let's stop.
What's going on with all the cameras?
Students: That says camera one.
Bisho: Camera one?
Ok, well that's right.
It wasn't on one.
It was on three the whole time.
Michael: THIS ISN'T JUST ANOTHER ELECTIVE CLASS.
STUDENTS HAVE TO APPLY TO BE A PART OF CENTER HIGH'S
MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS ACADEMY,
ALSO KNOWN AS MCA.
FROM SOPHOMORE THROUGH SENIOR YEAR,
STUDENTS IN THE ACADEMY STAY TOGETHER AND TAKE CORE
CLASSES WITH THE SAME TEACHERS.
Bisho: You're building your story to that moment.
We do all sorts of cross-curricular projects.
So, for example, you might have a project about a
historical event in history and then you have to write
an essay about it in English,
and then you'll have to do a power-point about it
in Spanish.
So, it's all cross- curricular and I love it.
Michael: THIS ACADEMY IS PART OF A STATEWIDE MODEL
CALLED THE CALIFORNIA PARTNERSHIP ACADEMIES.
IT'S ONE OF 340 ACADEMIES ACROSS THE STATE,
OFFERING SUBJECTS AS DIVERSE AS BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY,
HEALTH SCIENCES, ENGINEERING AND DESIGN,
AND MEDIA.
Bisho: The Partnership Academy was an experiment to try to find
innovative ways to teach students and reach at-risk
students, keep them involved,
and then get them into college - particularly
as career-focused.
Michael: WHILE BISHO TECHNICALLY PRODUCES THE
NEWSCAST, THE STUDENTS HANDLE EVERYTHING ELSE
FROM DIRECTING...
TO APPEARING ON-CAMERA.
Juliet: Hello Center High School.
I'm Juliet and here's the news you can use for
Thursday, January 25th, 2018.
Probably the most fun is being able to work with
everybody in that Advanced Broadcast.
We all work together pretty well,
we do all of these crazy projects,
and we get help from everybody,
everybody supports each other.
It's, it's really awesome to be able to work here.
Bisho: My number one job is just getting students to
care about what they're doing.
And once they care, I just have to keep out
of their way.
Alright.
Can we do that last sequence again?
And I'll stay out of the way.
Make sure you guys are on the right camera this time.
Michael: CENTER HIGH'S PROGRAM BECAME SO POPULAR
BISHO BEGAN LOOKING FOR WAYS TO EXPAND IT.
Bisho: About eight or nine years ago,
I started doing workshops for elementary school
students to find out what kind of interest elementary
students had in video production.
And they're crazy about it.
They love it.
I met with the GATE teachers,
the gifted and talented teachers at the elementary
school, and asked them if they'd like to do after
school programs incorporating video.
All he had to do was say he wanted to do something with
TV production and I was so excited to be able to bring
that back to kids here.
Michael: SUSAN ERICKSON TEACHES THE AFTER-SCHOOL
MEDIA CLASS AT OAK HILL ELEMENTARY,
JUST A COUPLE OF MILES FROM CENTER HIGH SCHOOL.
THE DISTRICT HOPES TO CREATE A PIPELINE FOR K-12 STUDENTS
INTERESTED IN MEDIA.
Michael: There are four positions: A, B, C,
and D, and I'm A.
I did a "How to Play Handball" instructional
video, and a documentary on how sunscreen affects
coral reefs.
Isaac: I'm working on something called "CPR for Kids,"
which is like, most people think you have to be older like a
grown up or older than 21 years old to do CPR but it
actually doesn't matter how old you have to be.
Susan: These are 4th, 5th and 6th graders who are
coming up with these ideas.
These students are from nine years old to 12 years old,
and they're working in teams,
sometimes multi-age as well.
Whatever passion appeals to them,
we let them roll with it.
Kelly: Right now I'm actually working on one with three
other people, we're doing a clay stop-motion video on
car pollution and how it affects us
and the environment.
Oh no. We're going to move it this way,
Michael: MENTORSHIP IS A LARGE PART OF MCA.
NOT ONLY DO STUDENTS HELP EACH OTHER,
BUT SEVERAL OF MR. BISHO'S HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TRAVEL
TO OAK HILL EACH WEEK TO MENTOR MRS. ERICKSON'S
ELEMENTARY STUDENTS.
Juliet: Make sure, talk to Calvin when you say
"I'm working on it."
So, you say "Not yet, but I am working on it.
And you all..."
So, you have to go back to where it'll say
"wait four seconds."
Know what I mean?
Alright.
It's really cool when the high schoolers come here
because they are kind-of like pros and they get
to help us.
So, it's pretty cool.
Juliet: I help them work on writing a script,
figuring out all the types of shot angles that they
want to get, and helping them go out and get those
angles and all the shots and everything they need,
help them with editing, publishing.
I do the whole jig with them and I love it.
Bisho: When they work with the, the younger kids and help them
teach, they become better and they're more
invested personally.
So, it's a win-win.
Michael: THE SCHOOLS' NEWSCASTS ARE AT THE HEART
OF BOTH MEDIA PROGRAMS.
AT OAK HILL, THE WEEKLY PROGRAM IS CALLED
THE OTTER OUTLOOK.
Kelly: Good morning, Otters.
I hope you're having a marvelous Monday so far.
I'm Kelly.
And I'm Michael...
Susan: Our Otter Outlook is probably the most exciting
thing that the kids get to do weekly because they're
running a news show.
And we have a news team that goes out and actually films
in classrooms.
All the teacher has to do is give us a call a day
in advance, let us know about activities such as
buddies working together, special art activity,
science activity, our news crew is on it.
Calvin: Every week you're doing something else.
So you can be the cameraman, the director,
the teleprompter worker, or the anchor.
Michael: THE HANDS-ON SKILLS,
THE TEAMWORK AND THE CLOSE-KNIT COMMUNITY NOT
ONLY INSPIRE THE KIDS, BUT THE TEACHERS AS WELL.
Susan: Everything they come up with has no boundaries to them.
They don't see walls or stop signs in anything they do.
And so, that just makes you just excited to make sure
whatever they come up with, it's gonna happen for them.
We're gonna work real hard to get it done.
Juliet: It's amazing to be able to look back and I'll be like,
"Wow!
I really have come so far because of MCA."
Joining MCA was one of the best choices I've ever made.
That's it for the News You Can Use.
Back to you, ladies.
See you next time!
Narr: Career academies first appeared in California
public schools in 1984.
Today, there are hundreds of California Partnership
Academies ....
including a Health Sports Medicine Academy in the Bay
Area, an Oil Technology Academy in Kern County,
and a Teacher Preparation Academy in Los Angeles.
Other academies focus on careers in solar energy,
law enforcement, hospitality and tourism.

What Is A Lemon Law? Howard Silver California Personal Injury Attorney - Duration: 1:28.
People always ask me in my law practice at the Law Office of Howard Silver what is lemon
law?
Lemon law means, it's evolved into a generic term.
It can be any product that you buy, whether it's a truck or a car or a motorhome or even
a computer and it's not working in the way you hoped it would when you bought it.
And we all know when you buy something; perhaps it's not perfect, it doesn't work exactly
the way that you hoped it would work but it has to meet a certain minimum standard so
that you're able to enjoy what you bought and you're able to get the pleasure and the
use out of it that you intended.
Now, if it doesn't work, if you're asking me for a more specific test it's, let's say,
you bought this product if you use a motor vehicle for example, and you brought it in
five times or six times and the transmission doesn't work or it stalls on the freeway or
the computer keeps shutting off on you, you may have a lemon.
If you have a question about the lemon law in California, you're not sure if the product
you bought qualifies under the California law, please call me, I'm Howard Silver, you
can reach me at area code 818-597-2610.
I'm available to take your call and it's a free consultation.

Inside California Education: Design, Build, Win - Duration: 7:15.
♪♪
(hammering noises)
David: Right now construction is
booming again.
We've got an economic revival occurring and the
construction industry is dying for skilled labor.
And so we tell our kids, hey,
if you can show up on time, you can pass a drug test,
you can work with your hands,
you know how to read a tape measure -- there are people
who are dying to put you to work.
Christina: On this two-acre site at Lincoln High School
in Stockton, you'll see teenagers engaged in just
about every aspect of construction...
from computer-aided design to the actual
building of structures.
This group is practicing how to build a shed that they'll
re-create at an upcoming construction competition.
David: So that intersecting wall is going to come in
here and it's going to join in right along in here,
and this needs to extend over three and half.
Christina: David Dabaco is an instructor at the
Engineering and Construction Academy at Lincoln High.
Built in collaboration with nearly 100 industry
partners, the academy prepares students for jobs
right out of high school or a path to higher education.
David: We focused on four different career paths.
The architecture, drafting and engineering and design
-- and a lot of those students are going on
to be students that will matriculate to
four- year institutions.
Then we have construction technology,
which is all your flat work and rough framing.
They'll go to work in a carpenter's union,
they'll go to work in laborer's union.
Some of them may not go union,
some may go to work for themselves or
non- union shops.
We have mechanical construction, also,
and we have the woodworking and
millwork program.
Jeff: It truly is a model program,
for not only the state, but the country.
And this is what we need to do in the high schools to
provide our kids with great opportunities so they
can be gainfully employed.
Get a short piece of pipe, and then you need
a 90, ok?
Christina: Academy founder Jeff Wright wanted to create
real job opportunities for youth in Stockton,
a city hit hard by the recession.
The academy opened in 2010 with major funding from a
California Career Technical Education grant.
Jeff: I wish every kid could go to college.
But the reality and the numbers bear it out,
it's just not going to happen.
There's 1.3 trillion dollars in college debt right now.
There's more college debt than credit card debt.
We need to focus on getting our kids a job.
A lot of our kids start out in the $20,
22, 23 dollar an hour range, so it is critical to the
city of Stockton to provide those kinds of
high- paying wage jobs.
It's a win-win for everybody.
Christina: Recent graduates of the program can attest to
the high wages they're earning straight
out of school.
Tristin: I'm 18 and I'm making $23.50.
And in July, I get my $2 raise.
And then for going back to school,
I get an additional raise.
I can max out around $50, $60 dollars an hour.
I don't see it as a job, I see it as a career.
I'm going to be doing it for awhile.
David: I think the huge misnomer for construction
is that it is low-paying jobs.
I mean, think about what's required to build you know,
say, the Bay Bridge.
From the architects to the engineers to the divers to
everybody that's involved in that project,
there's a lot of really skilled individuals with
a lot talent in there.
And those are really high-paying careers.
RJ: I looked at a lot of high schools and so
did my mom.
And as soon as I found out this place had an
Engineering and Construction Academy,
it was my dream to come here.
Christina: Randolph plans to major in electrical
engineering at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
Everything he does here is geared toward his career
plans, even making these birdhouses.
RJ: This kind of gives me a chance to work with my hands
and get my hands dirty with what I really need to do.
So though it's not the same thing it kind of gives me an
idea of what I'm going to be doing in the future.
Christina: Emily also has an eye on the future,
with plans to join the Ironworkers Union.
Her experience at Lincoln has given her the confidence
to enter a male-dominated field.
Emily: I'm used to being the only girl and I'm kind of
more a tomboy, so like I get along with the guys and
they're really nice to me so I really like it here.
Jeff: We firmly believe that women and girls
should have the same opportunities as guys.
And if they can go out and do the job,
the should get the same pay as the guys.
Teachers recognize not all 500 students taking classes
in the academy will go on to work in construction or
engineering fields, but many do learn
valuable life lessons.
Melinda: When I first came here,
I'd never used a nail.
My family was just like, oh you know,
it's fine, just leave it.
But coming here I learned how to use a drill,
I learned how to use screws, and all that.
Alberto: We get to use tools,
like skill saws, hammers, we get to nail things.
It's different from woodshop,
because in woodshop we just cut things and that's it.
Here we get to build things, like we got to build a shed
and everything.
Christina: Alberto is part of the Lincoln High team
that's competing in the 32nd annual design build
competition put on by the Sacramento Regional
Builders Exchange.
The event draws more than 300 high school students,
who get just two days to build a structure of their
choice, such as a gazebo, a shed or a tiny house.
On the second day of competition,
Alberto is feeling positive about
Lincoln High's progress.
Alberto: So yesterday we pretty much started from
scratch, built the floors, build all the walls,
we started putting rafters on.
Today we pretty much finished off the roof,
put trim on, put shingles on the roof,
ridge caps.
It's a small house, so it has like two windows
and a door.
It's different, it's different compared to
everyone else here.
Tim: We've got several schools that are
building tiny houses.
The program that the kids are building for this time
around, the tiny houses actually go to provide
housing for homeless veterans.
All the materials are donated for the building
of their structures, and then they get to keep the
structures afterwards.
And in some cases, some schools have already
pre-sold the sheds to existing buyers,
some of them will go back and will auction them off.
Some of the sheds are donated for other programs.
We have one school that's building some storage sheds
that will be going to the Folsom Zoo,
but the nice thing is the schools do take it
and auction it off or get money from the
selling of the sheds.
Those monies go back to buying materials that they
use in their shop programs throughout the course
of the year.
Christina: As the students work,
judges make the rounds to score each structure.
There are 23 schools represented at the
competition, and organizers hope that students from at
least a few of those schools will walk away with
new career ideas.
Tim: For every five journeymen that retire,
there's only one apprentice entering the trades.
And so we're really getting to the point where it is
a critical situation.
It's really a wonderful middle class career that is
available to kids who don't go on to college.
Alberto: Construction is a hard job.
It is energy-consuming, you're really are tired
at the end of the day.
I think I could do it, like if I really wanted to be
a carpenter, like I think I could pull it off.
And I get to see what I do, it's not like me
writing something or reading something,
it's like I did this with my hands.
And boom, it's there.
Christina: All the students here have something tangible
they can be proud of...
but especially Lincoln High, which was awarded
Best of Show at the end of the competition.
