some of the country’s worst criminals. While claiming to never have an inmate escape, numerous attempts were made by John Paul Scott, Darl Lee Parker, and Joseph Bowers but failed. Theodore Cole and Ralph Roe also fled, but after jumping in the San Francisco Bay they were never seen again. It was assumed that the two men drowned and their bodies were swept away due to severe weather conditions.

within San Francisco and Oakland. A large fault is placed on the guardians of the law. Brotherhood, or police alliance, places a white sheet over the true cause of excessive force and misconduct. Another fault goes to the Justice Department for failing to convict fellow guardians of the law for police brutality in a wide range of cases (Walter).

Studies show that in the 2011-2012 winter season, the state of California received nearly 300 inches less snowfall than it did the previous winter. While many of California’s dry winters are a direct result of ridges off of the west coast, climatologists suggest the drop in precipitation during the 2011-2012 winter was due to below average sea surface temperatures, or La Niña (Seager et al.). La Niña is the result of cooling sea surface temperatures that lead to an overall temperature of the…

world. Since I lived in the US, I began to think that every other country was the same size as the US which lead me to truly realize how big the world is.

When watching or reading the news about crisis or conflict there is usually a death toll given, for many including myself we look at it as numbers when we should all look at them as humans like…

stuff like San Francisco. So did I like nostalgic cities and towns. From the spectacular Golden Gate Bridge, to the bustling harbor and houses with fancy old architectural looks along with the busy modern shopping centers.
