I am doing a report and I am trying to compare the Average rainfall for Los Angeles today compared to maybe the 90’s. If you have any information for me, that would be great, but please, if you are just guessing, please tell me that so I don’t base my report on a guess.

Endless Fun in Los Angeles in your Charter Bus Rental
Filed Under Travel | Comments Off
John Abignale asked:
Ever heard of bored people in Los Angeles? The city has so much to offer in terms of dining, shopping an entertainment that you will be trying hard to fit everything in your schedule. That’s the kind of Los Angeles charter bus trip you can expect! Considering the number of fun places there are in Los Angeles, it was tough coming up with only five top Los Angeles hot spots to take a charter bus to.
Universal Studios Hollywood
A charter bus trip to Los Angeles wouldn’t be complete without taking the charter bus to Universal Studios Hollywood. Of course be sure to take the backlot tour though the many film sets. After you’re done reminiscing about the studio’s film sets, those who fancy movie-themed rides will have the rides of their lives!
J Paul Getty Center
This is no ordinary museum to take your Los Angeles rental charter bus to because inside the J Paul Getty Center, there is a whole collection of art pieces that you will only get to see replicas of in other galleries and museums. To say that the experience is extraordinary is an understatement as you tour the six buildings and gardens that are bound to leave an impressionable memory for a long time to come.
Circa 55
Hear the word “Beverly Hilton Hotel” and you’ll think ‘classy’– and this is precisely what Circa 55 is all about! Scrumptious food made out of hand-selected produce and they offer a wide variety of mouth-watering seafood, steaks and more!
Hollywood Walk of Fame
Movie lovers will have the time of their lives as they get the chance to see tributes made to many of the famous Hollywood mega movie stars when they take the rental charter bus to Hollywood Walk of Fame. It pays tribute to more than 2,000 movie stars from all walks of life . Another significant landmark for you to have your Los Angeles charter bus drop you off at.
Aloha Sharkeez
Ready for some partying and drinking after a unabashed day of sunbathing under the awesome sun in Los Angeles? Then it’s time to take the charter bus to one of Los Angeles’ most favorite nightspots – Aloha Sharkeez. It’s no surprise at all that the moment the door opens, the crowd starts piling in, so, if you want a place or table – you’d better take the charter bus there early. A little later, the bar will be filled with more twenty-something beach bums ready to party their hearts out till late! Apparently, this is the kind of place that’s consistently filled with beach lovers every day of the year, so, don’t miss it for the world!

Los Angeles Schools Strongly Opposed to Takeover By Mayor Villaraigosa
Filed Under Education | Comments Off
Patricia Hawke asked:
There is currently legislation AB 1381 in the state legislature that, if passed, will give the okay to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to take over a subset of the Los Angeles schools. Recently, the mayor’s school reform team announced its latest round of changes to the bill in order to sidestep some possible problems to it passing.
Last month, according to the Los Angeles Times’ August 8, 2006 article, Los Angeles Chief Legislative Analyst Gerry F. Miller made certain speculations about the bill. He believes, if the bill is passed, the following may occur:
• Some power could shift from the City Council to Villaraigosa;
• Additional costs may be incurred by the cities that are served by the Los Angeles schools; and
• These same cities, as well as the Council of Mayors, could incur certain legal liabilities.
Legal responsibilities and costs could shift with the power, since the bill gives responsibility for the subset of Los Angeles schools directly to Villaraigosa, who dominates the Council of Mayors with an 80 percent vote. The Council of Mayors consists of Villaraigosa, representatives from the County Board of Supervisors, and representatives of 27 other cities that are served by the Los Angeles schools.
The recently announced changes to the bill are to placate the officials and representatives of the 27 other cities concerning Miller’s speculations, as well as protect the legislation from being defeated due to criticisms from opponents who are aligned with the Los Angeles schools officials, who are strongly opposed to the takeover.
The new language added to the bill does the following:
• Budget administration for the Los Angeles schools will remain with the City Councils of the cities served by the school district, as it currently stands. This eliminates the possibility of additional costs being incurred by any of the cities served.
• Responsibility for any lawsuits or legal issues will remain with the Los Angeles schools, even though Villaraigosa will be making most of the decisions. This ensures that the County of Los Angeles and the cities involved will be held blameless.
• The takeover of the Los Angeles schools subset is now likened to a school district authorizing a charter school. It is hoped by Villaraigosa’s team that this language will sidestep the state constitution provision that requires public schools to be overseen by established school systems.
Kevin Reed, general counsel for the Los Angeles schools, was quite critical of the bill’s new language, especially concerning legal responsibility. He also said the comparison of Villaraigosa’s takeover to a charter school, which was developed by Villaraigosa’s legal advisor Thomas Saenz, was erroneous. Charter schools submit to more oversight than will Villaraigosa, if the bill becomes law.
Reed also pointed out a conflict of interest for Saenz, who is also an appointed board member of the County Office of Education. A spokesperson for the mayor said Saenz would resign, if the bill becomes law.
Villaraigosa has some backers for his bill, which will soon be reviewed by the legislature. The bill, however, has many questionable provisions in its language and many strongly opposed to it. Opposition comes not only from the Los Angeles schools officials, but also from many of the city representatives on the Council of Mayors, who already see Villaraigosa controlling too much of their concerns.

Los Angeles Tours and Sightseeing
Filed Under Destinations | Comments Off
Mike Etney asked:
While on a trip to Los Angeles (LA), it becomes obvious that there are an extensive amount of sights and places to see. Because Los Angeles is so large, your first consideration should be transportation, including rental cars, taxis, buses, subways, and even helicopters. Because LA is so widespread, and not merely concentrated in one central area, you need to plan your travels based upon the sites and places that are most important for you to experience. Then, you must determine what steps you should take, while taking into consideration the effort that will likely be expended to get to those places. The number one factor will be traffic. LA is well known for its traffic jams and it is best to limit the amount of driving you do, especially during rush hour periods.
One good way to travel throughout Los Angeles, without having to drive yourself, is to take a tour around LA. There are numerous tour companies and most can be found on the internet or in travel magazines. A bus or private van tour of LA could be good for those who do not consider themselves to be good drivers. In addition, a tour ride in a van will allow you to relax and take pictures while someone else drives. Furthermore, the tour driver will not only be able to take you to many of the spots and sights you will want to see, but will be able to narrate and provide interesting facts as well. For some of you however, sitting in a van that is driving around in traffic is not an exciting way to spend your trip. If this applies to you, then you may want to consider an aerial tour of Los Angeles in a helicopter.
A helicopter tour over Los Angeles will allow you to see most of LA in a very short period of time. A Los Angeles helicopter tour is sure to provide an exciting time and memorable experience of your trip. While avoiding traffic, your helicopter flight may take you over downtown LA, Santa Monica, Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood Sign, the beach, amusement parks, stadiums, and star’s homes. A good helicopter tour pilot will show you points of interest and fly the helicopter in order to allow you to take the best possible pictures. It is generally recommended that you take an la helicopter tour only when the weather is nice, otherwise the visability could be disappointing. Fortunately, Los Angeles has very good weather most of the time.
Some other ground-based tours which you may want to consider would include movie star’s homes in Beverly Hills, shopping malls, Rodeo Drive, museums including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Getty Center, Petersen Automotive Museum, and the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum. Also be sure to see amusement parks, such as Disneyland, Universal Studios, Knott’s Berry Farm, Disney California Adventure, and Six Flags Magic Mountain. In Santa Monica you can check out the world famous Santa Monica Pier, Third Street Promenade, and then head over to Venice beach. If you enjoy flowers and the outdoors, then the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Descansco Gardens are beautiful places to take a walking tour. Dodger stadium tours in Elysian Park are also a popular stop. This behind the scene tour of the stadium lets fans visit restricted areas and view the ballpark from a different perspective. Also of interest is the Griffith Observatory, which has been a major Los Angeles landmark since 1936. From the observatory, there is a stunning view of the Los Angeles basin below, especially at night. Finally, a stop at the La Brea Tarpits will feature real observation pits and life size replicas of some extinct mammals and dinosaurs, and is landscaped to include many species of Ice Age plants.
