50-year-old Hispanic Man Missing

The Los Angeles Police Department and the family of Juan Robledo are asking for the public’s help to locate him.

On April 29, 2011, at 10:30 a.m., Juan Robledo walked out his convalescent home located in the 1400 block of La Cienega Boulevard, in Los Angeles, and has not been seen since. His family is very concerned for his safety.

Robledo is described as a male Hispanic, with black hair and brown eyes. He stands 5’00” tall and weighs around 160 pounds. He was last seen wearing a burgundy shirt, blue jeans and black shoes. He also uses the assistance of a walker.

If you have seen or have any information regarding the whereabouts of Robledo, please contact the Los Angeles Police Department Wilshire Area Watch Commander Sergeant Michael Williams at (213) 473-0476. During non-business hours or weekends, calls may be directed to 1-877-LAPD-24-7. Anyone wishing to remain anonymous may call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (800)-222-8477). Tipsters may also contact Crimestoppers by texting to phone number 274637 (C-R-I-M-E-S on most key pads) using a cell phone.

A federal appeals court judge granted the NFL's request to restore a lockout amid a labor dispute with players

A federal appeals court judge granted the NFL's request to restore a lockout amid a labor dispute with players, a court clerk says.


The temporary stay of an April 25 lower court order allows NFL owners to again suspend football operations as they seek to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement with the players.

If the players are locked out when the season starts in September, it would be the first NFL work stoppage since 1987, with months of labor and legal maneuvering looming for fans already wondering how a $9 billion industry lacks enough money to satisfy everyone.

**(Updated information release)**.

Distraction Burglars update: I have been made aware of a third Distraction Burglary committed by two female burglars in the Encino-Sherman Oaks-Van Nuys area. They use a ruse to get into the homes of elderly persons – the pregnant female knocks on the door and requests help with a broken down vehicle. They steal cash and jewelry. Both of these criminals are about 20 to 25 years old. One is heavy set, the other pregnant. They are described as being Hispanic or Middle Eastern, and one time they spoke a foreign language between themselves which was not Spanish. In one case they incorporated an infant they called “Star” as part of their ruse. Please be sure that elderly neighbors know about these criminals and the way they operate. Report any suspicious activities immediately. Notify Det. Dunn 818-374-7769

Public Policy Insights for the Archdioces​e of Los Angeles - California Catholic Conference: California Budget

Governor’s Budget Revision Might Be Delayed


California’s top elected officials remained stymied about how to handle the State’s ongoing deficit. The Governor’s May Revise – a refinement of his January budget proposal using the latest quarterly results – may be delayed by a week as more accurate revenue and spending figures slightly alter the picture.

Meanwhile, the Governor is crisscrossing the State trying to drum up support for his proposed solution to the deficit: one-half extension of some taxes and one-half spending cuts. About $13 billion has already been cut mostly from higher education, child care, health care and support for low-income children. Still to be decided are questions on redevelopment agencies, enterprise zones, the special election and “realigning” some local services.

Two polls released this week show that voters favor the half-and-half approach and want an opportunity to vote on tax extensions, but also show that approval of the extensions is far less certain. The Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) showed voters particularly concerned about potential impact of cuts on K-12 education while a University of Southern California/Los Angeles Times poll found a plurality of voters support pension reform.

To illustrate just how convoluted the path to a solution is, voters from both major parties and independents oppose the sales or income tax extensions, but instead prefer to have the income tax raised on the wealthiest Californians—especially if it means preventing further K-12 cuts. The poll also found that the California legislature’s approval rating continues at near record lows. Only 14 percent of likely voters approve of their work and 74 percent disapprove. That figure is actually up from last fall’s budget battle when the approval rating was in single digits.

Breaking News Alert: Breaking News: Woman said to have been used as human shield for bin Laden

May 2, 2011 3:03:08 PM

----------------------------------------

A woman believed to be a wife of Osama bin Laden was used as a human shield when U.S. forces stormed his secret compound in Pakistan, President Obama's chief counterterrorism adviser said at a White House briefing. "She was positioned in a way that indicated she was being used as a shield," said the adviser, John O. Brennan, adding that the woman was killed in the attack.
Brennan also said it was "inconceivable that bin Laden did not have a support system" in Pakistan that allowed him to live comfortably with his family in a town north of Islamabad. He said U.S. officials are pursuing this with the Pakistanis, who were pointedly not informed about the raid before it took place.
