That number has declined, officials said, but they are not sure by how much. In 1990, a city tally put the number of palms on L.A.’s streets at 75,000. Read the full story on LATimes.com. City officials say they don’t know how many palm trees have been lost. And for the most part, the city has chosen to replace them not with new palms but with native trees that are more drought-tolerant and shadier, said Leon Borodinsky, a tree surgeon for the Department of Recreation and Parks. They are dying of fatal fungus and under threat of invasive insects in parks and along streets. A woman carries her shopping past palm trees in a Monterey Park shopping plaza on June 5, 2017.

Betsy DeVos Concerned About Rights of Accused Rapists, Will Review Obama-Era Campus Assault Guidelines “Betsy DeVos and Candice Jackson’s intentions are clear: to protect those who ‘grab’ by the genitals and brag about it — and make college campuses a safer place for them,” Sofie Karasek, director of education and co-founder of End Rape on Campus, said in a statement. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-New York, tweeted. Earlier this week, former Vice President Joe Biden was featured in a three-year anniversary video for “It’s On Us” — the group he co-founded with President Barack Obama aimed at curbing sexual violence on college campuses. The Education Department announced Friday it is formally rescinding Obama-era guidance on how schools should handle sexual assaults under Title IX federal law. The guidance affects colleges, universities and K-12 schools. This decision will hurt and betray students, plain and simple,” Sen. As part of the interim guidance, the department released a Q&A outlining recommendations on how schools should respond, including guidance on what schools are obligated to do in response to allegations and their flexibility in establishing their own procedures. Bernie Sanders called on Congress to respond to the move. “The withdrawn documents ignored notice and comment requirements, created a system that lacked basic elements of due process and failed to ensure fundamental fairness,” a Department of Education statement reads. Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex for schools and programs that receive federal funding, including protection from sexual harassment. Congress must act to undo this terrible decision,” the senator tweeted. “You may have heard the progress we made, the additional protections we put in Title IX, which is now the law, that protects students from sexual discrimination — that includes sexual violence,” Biden says in the video. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos announced earlier this month that her department was concerned that previous guidance denied proper due process to those accused. In the video, Biden warned against “new challenges” in combating campus sexual assault. “Now the Department of Education under new leadership is working to roll back the protections under Title IX that we worked so hard to put in place.”
However, some applauded the department’s announcement. “This is a disgrace and a disservice to everyone who has worked to address sexual violence. “Fair outcomes are impossible without fair procedures. “Schools must continue to confront these horrific crimes and behaviors head-on. When the government sprang its 2011 letter on colleges and students without warning, it made it impossible for campuses to serve the needs of victims while also respecting the rights of the accused. The standard for proof has been raised for school disciplinary proceedings in some instances, as different schools have different policies. The announcement quickly received backlash from advocacy groups and lawmakers. One aspect of the Obama-era guidance that remains is the responsibility of the school to investigate, rather than leave the matter to law enforcement. “This interim guidance will help schools as they work to combat sexual misconduct and will treat all students fairly,” DeVos said in a release. The administration is formally withdrawing the Obama administration’s “dear colleague letter” that some, including DeVos, have criticized for going too far.

Man Who Allegedly Started Wilmington House Fire That Injured LAPD Officer, 3 Children Identified
4 People Injured, Including LAPD Officer, After House Fire in Wilmington; Man Arrested 31. A boy who was injured in a Wilmington house fire is shown in a GoFundMe page on Sept. The family is homeless and the mother does not have a job, “as she is at her children’s sides in the hospital,” according to a GoFundMe account to help the family with medical expenses. Two children who were burned in a Wilmington fire that also injured a LAPD officer last month remain in critical condition, their mother said Thursday. The fire was allegedly started by a 37-year-old man on Aug. “In a tragic case of wrong place, wrong time, the innocent family almost lost their lives, and are now struggling to rebuild after they’ve lost everything,” the GoFundMe page reads. A Los Angeles Police Department officer, who was one of the first responders, saved another child from the home and was also injured, officials said. A girl who was injured in a Wilmington house fire is shown in a GoFundMe page on Sept. Firefighters rescued a mother and two children from a one bedroom in the duplex.

The bank is facing separate federal investigations over a scandal that came to light last year: The company created millions of fake accounts for customers in order to boost its sales figures. Equifax CEO Richard Smith will face questions from a Congressional oversight committee next month about a massive data breach that exposed the personal information of millions of customers. The country’s second largest bank has since been dogged by other controversies, including admitting it charged thousands of customers for car insurance they didn’t need. How the Equifax data breach happened: What we know now
Smith has made a public apology in a letter that appeared in USA Today on September 13, five days after the company told the public about the hack. Yet, hackers were able to exploit the flaw months later. Equifax logo is shown in a file photo. She’s also introduced legislation — alongside fellow Democrat Sen.

Among the other issues that have drawn public ire:
–Equifax says the vulnerability at the root of the breach was identified by the company in March. The Senate Banking Committee will also grill Wells Fargo CEO Tim Sloan next month. Questions have been raised from many corners about the credit monitoring agency’s handling of the breach and its decision to wait more than a month after discovering the hack to alert the public. It spurred the FBI and the Federal Trade Commission to launch investigations. Equifax confirmed to CNNMoney that Smith will testify at the hearing. The House Energy and Commerce Committee said last week that it sent a formal request to Smith to testify at an October 3 hearing. –Equifax initially asked affected customers to give up their right to sue the company in exchange for credit monitoring services. The company’s stock has plunged 32% so far in September. Equifax and Smith have faced outrage over the cybersecurity breach in which hackers were able to gain access to personal information for about 143 million people. The company said it discovered the intrusion on July 29. The Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs said Thursday they will hold a hearing with Smith on October 4. The CEO said the breach was “the most humbling moment” in Equifax’s history and the company is “devoting extraordinary resources to make sure this kind of incident doesn’t happen again.”
But the message did little to assuage Equifax’s critics. The session will be open to the public and it will be webcast live. ×
