Scrappy is a 20-pound chihuahua/hound mix with a heart as big as his ears—and trust us, those ears are epic. Sometimes they even get adorably stuck behind his head, and it's impossible not to smile. This sweet, medium-energy pup is all about building deep bonds. Once he trusts you, Scrappy becomes the ultimate cuddle buddy, happiest curled up beside you for a nap or offering his signature paw-shake. Scrappy has been in a foster home with a Pasadena Humane volunteer, and he’s gotten a great report. He’s fully house-trained, cratesavvy (especially with some calming tunes), and knows a few solid commands like “sit,” “shake,” and “crate.” Scrappy’s ideal match is someone patient, consistent, and ready to love a quirky, devoted companion who just wants to be near his person. If you're looking for a pint-sized pal with a giant personality and unforgettable ears, Scrappy might just be your perfect match.
Marble A517441
Meet Marble, a 1 ½ year-old German Shepherd mix who is full of potential. While she can be a bit nervous in new environments, Marble quickly shows her sweet, affectionate side once she feels safe. On a recent field trip, she leaned in for calm, reassuring pets and clearly appreciated the quiet companionship. Treats weren’t her thing that day, but gentle touch and a patient presence made all the difference—she’s truly a soft soul at heart. Marble did great on a short hike, staying close and responsive on leash while calmly navigating the trail. She wasn’t fazed by squirrels or children she passed, she was just a good girl doing her best. Afterward, she chose the shadiest, most peaceful spot on Occidental’s campus to relax and watch the world go by, clearly savoring the calm. Marble is looking for a quiet, adult-only home with no other pets, where she can feel secure and continue growing in confidence. She’s a sensitive, intelligent girl who will thrive with patient guidance, consistent routines, and lots of love. If you’re someone who enjoys the outdoors but also knows the value of a shaded spot to just be, Marble could be your perfect match.

James B. Milliken, University of Texas chancellor, named UC president
James B. Milliken, chancellor of the University of Texas system and a veteran leader in higher education, has been named the next president of the University of California's system of 10 campuses, it was announced Friday.
Milliken's appointment follows a six-month search to find a successor to UC President Michael V. Drake, who has served since 2020 and will step down on July 31.
"The University of California is universally regarded as the preeminent public research university in the world, and I am deeply honored to have an opportunity to join the many talented faculty, staff and campus leaders in their vital work," Milliken said in a statement. "It is more important than ever that we expand the education, research, health care and public service for which UC is so widely admired and which has benefited so many Californians."
Milliken, 68, has spent more than 25 years leading major public university systems, taking top posts in both deeply conservative and liberal states.
"Chancellor Milliken embodies the qualities and leadership experiences the University of California
By City News Service
community needs at this moment," said Janet Reilly, chair of the UC Board of Regents. "He understands how critical UC's contributions are to the state and the country, and he has decades of experience leading public institutions during times of unprecedented change in higher education."
At the University of Texas, Milliken launched a major initiative to fully cover tuition and fees for eligible students from families earning under $100,000, officials said. Under his leadership, the system saw record-high enrollment, low student debt and nearly $5 billion in annual research spending.
UT's health network, which includes seven medical schools, ranks among the largest health care providers in the country.
Before taking the helm at the University of Texas in 2018, Milliken served four years as chancellor of the 25-campus City University of New York.
A native of Nebraska, he previously spent nearly a decade leading the University of Nebraska system and six years as a vice president in the 16-campus University of North Carolina system.
In a statement, Drake said, "Chancellor Milliken has the depth of wisdom
and experience to handle the challenges and opportunities of this position. I have great confidence in both his leadership and his commitment to the University's enduring values."
His appointment, announced Friday by the UC Board of Regents, comes at a tense time for the system, as universities nationwide face attacks from President Trump over "woke" ideologies and cuts to federal research funding critical to their mission.
"Chancellor Milliken's distinguished career and lifelong commitment to public education prepares him to lead the University of California in this new era," said UC regent Carmen Chu. "As the University evolves, it is critical we engage leaders adept at navigating change and positioning the institution for long-term success."
Milliken will assume his role as UC president on Aug. 1, with a Board- approved annual salary of $1,475,000, university officials said.
UC's system serves 299,000 students across 10 campuses, six academic medical centers and three affiliated national laboratories. Southern California campuses are in Los Angeles' Westwood area, Irvine, Riverside and UC San Diego.

Burbank PD arrest man for allegedly preying on minors
On March 23, 30-year-old Ivan
Hernandez of Valley Village was arrested and booked on charges of child endangerment and possession of nitrous oxide. The arrest followed a call for service and subsequent investigation into suspected drug activity, during which Hernandez was found in his vehicle with an underage female. During the follow-up investigation, detectives determined that Hernandez had been providing nitrous oxide, marijuana, and alcohol to underage females in exchange for sexual acts. He allegedly used Instagram to locate and lure victims, arranging to meet them for the purpose of trading drugs and alcohol for sex. Hernandez is also believed to have frequently recorded these encounters with the underage females on his cell phone. On March 25, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed multiple felony charges against Hernandez, including three counts of unlawful sex with a minor under 16, two counts of arranging to meet with a minor for lewd purposes, and one count each of child endangerment, oral copulation of a minor under 16, lewd or lascivious acts with a minor 14 or 15 years old, and possession of child sexual abuse material.

City controller: $225M needed to avoid LA layoffs
By City News Service
City Controller Kenneth Mejia Friday reiterated his warning that Los Angeles needs $225 million to avoid layoffs in Mayor Karen Bass' proposed budget for the 2025-26 fiscal year, which aims to close a nearly $1 billion deficit.
"It's about $225 million to stave off layoffs. That is the number that we're trying to close to, so that way there are no layoffs," Mejia told City News Service on Friday. "It's going to be a big task, but the city is looking into different ways."
The five-member Budget and Finance Committee has led discussions of the mayor's $13.9 billion budget, which would be an 8.2% increase over the adopted spending plan for the 2024-25 fiscal year. More budget hearings are scheduled as elected officials review the budget. Under the City Charter, the budget must be finalized before July 1, the start of the next fiscal year.
As part of solutions to offset the deficit, Mejia said his office is trying to save money when it comes to interest payments.
According to the controller, Los Angeles pays about $70 million to $80 million annually in interest on borrowed funds — a cost he suggests could be lowered by tapping into departmental special funds as needed instead.
He also backed a proposal to move some at-risk employees into the city's proprietary departments, such as Los Angeles World Airports, the Department of Water and Power and the Harbor Department, which oversees the Port of Los Angeles.
Mejia said he was encouraged by the committee's efforts to address LA's shortfall, adding the city is in "crisis mode." He said it is "really important that they do that detail work."
Mejia also encouraged his colleagues to save
"revenue generating positions," depending on the department's analysis. In one area, the controller's office recommended more tax compliance officers because there is a lot of outstanding payments the city can try to get back.
"For the long run, the city needs to be more honest and transparent about how we got here, about the budget process, keep getting people more involved and really look at line-by-line where we are spending over budget," Mejia said.
On April 29, City Administrative Officer Matt Szabo discussed the proposed layoffs, which were described as a last resort.
In total, the mayor has proposed cutting more than 2,700 city positions; 1,647 would be layoffs and the remaining 1,076 are vacant positions. Layoffs would impact about 5% of the city's workforce.
Those savings in a full year would be about $225 million. Szabo said four months of funding exists for all filled position cuts, and
the budget assumes eight months of savings of about $150 million.
Szabo noted the budget would bring the city to 32,342 authorized positions, bringing that figure to its lowest level since the Great Recession in the 2014-15 fiscal year.
The CAO recommended other measures to stave off layoffs such as deferring raises, swapping positions so work would be funded through special funds rather than general funds, transfers to proprietary departments and reassignments.
City officials are working to prevent layoffs by engaging in labor negotiations, and asking for aid from the state government, among other things.
Los Angeles is facing the nearly $1 billion shortfall in the 2025-26 fiscal year as a result of lower-than-anticipated tax revenue, labor contracts, rising liability payouts, costs related to fire recovery and issues related
to a weakening economy as a result of federal policies.
A representative of Service Employees International Union Local 721, which represents more than 10,000 city workers, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday.
David Green, president of the union, previously said the city should look at every dollar and layoffs should not be the first option.
"We will continue to work with the city to find innovative solutions to the crisis, including identifying new revenue streams, alternate funding sources and wasteful spending on outside contractors that gobble up city funds," Green said.
"SEIU 721 members are united and ready to overcome this challenge and, just like in the past, it will be our decisions that save the city — not the short-sighted whims of administrators in City Hall," he added.
Los Angeles County starts distributing $5.6 million to wildfire victims
By Staff
The Los Angeles County Household Relief Grant program, designed to provide timely financial assistance to residents who suffered the greatest impacts of the deadly Eaton and Palisades fires, has started disbursing more than $5.6 million, officials announced Friday.
The Department of Consumer and Business Affairs is overseeing the program.
“We hope that these grants represent tangible steps that help families stabilize and begin their rebuilding journey after the devastation of the wildfires,” DCBA Director Rafael Carbajal said in a statement. “Our team, along with our partner, The Center by Lendistry, is working diligently to evaluate applications and expedite the
distribution of funds to ensure that those most impacted by these fires receive the support they urgently need.”
The grant program received over 15,000 applications before the March 12 submission deadline.
"While initial grant awards have begun, applications continue to be expeditiously reviewed and grant awards will continue until funds raised are exhausted," according to a county statement.
Grants are from $6,000$18,000 per household and pay for any needs that insurance or other forms of assistance do not cover.
Eaton Fire applicants in Altadena and nearby areas totaled 60%, with 40% affected by the Palisades Fire. Officials expect that
the majority of future grant awards will support Eaton survivors.
“These grants mark a vital step in helping our communities heal and recover from the devastating wildfires,” Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger, who represents the 5th District that includes the Eaton Fire burn area, said in
a statement. “I’m glad that families in Altadena and the surrounding region are finally beginning to receive the critical support they need and deserve.”
Officials prioritized grant awards based on criteria that included insurance status, social and economic vulnerability, loss of life, health
conditions and other risk factors.
“Seeing these grants reach families marks a powerful milestone in our recovery journey,” Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath, whose 3rd District includes burn areas in Pacific Palisades and Malibu. “I’m proud that Los Angeles County is moving with urgency and compassion to help those most impacted by the wildfires. This is real relief, at a time when our communities need it most — and it’s a hopeful sign of the stronger, more resilient future we are building together.”
Household Relief Grants are sourced through a combination of contributions from the county and philanthropic individuals and organizations. Among the variety of contributors were the
Hawthorne Police Officers Association, the Southern California Interclub Association of Figure Skating Clubs and the Wrightwood Girl Scouts Troop 1213. The county's website for donations, which officials said shape the program’s capacity to assist wildfire-affected residents, is at lacounty.gov/ relief.
Updates on the status of grant applications are available through accounts established at lacountyrelieffund. com.
The Eaton and Palisades fires caused the deaths of 30 people and devastated over 14,000 and 21,000 acres respectively. More than 20,000 properties were destroyed or damaged when the fires erupted Jan. 7 during fierce winds.

The Los Angeles County Development Authority would be tasked with exploring more stringent contract terms requiring emergency response plans and better oversight of housing services providers' responsibilities during public safety crises.

sentenced to the "secure youth treatment facility" to determine eligibility for step down programs or the state’s Pine Grove Fire Camp.
Another commission recommendation was to move girls and "genderexpansive" youth awaiting sentencing to the Dorothy Kirby Center in Commerce and hasten transfers to no more than two days for detainees who have already been sentenced to courtordered placements.
"In the absence of a clear, transparent, and community-informed plan from our struggling Probation Department, we must rely on the leadership of the Probation Oversight Commission and the meaningful solutions they've developed in collaboration with county stakeholders and the public," Horvath said in a statement. "None of the options before us are perfect, but doing nothing — or simply moving forward with Probation's inadequate proposal — is unacceptable. I fear we will replicate the same failures in new locations at a time when our youth are counting on us to provide the care and rehabilitation they deserve."
The Board of Supervisors' approved motion
directs Viera Rosa to assess the oversight commission recommendations and report back to the commission in writing or verbally at the panel's upcoming meeting Thursday.
In a statement Friday on the department's depopulation plan submitted for the court's consideration, Viera Rosa said, "This is a responsible and thoughtful step forward that reflects our commitment to court compliance, operational reform, and youth rehabilitation. While this is not a final plan, it represents a strong foundation to realign youth with the right programs and services — and do so in a way that brings lasting, systemwide improvements.”
In December, the Board of State and Community Corrections declared Los Padrinos unsuitable to house youth detainees because of alleged staffing shortfalls and other deficiencies. However, the county had no viable alternative to house the youth detainees and has continued to operate the facility in defiance of state regulators shutdown order.
The Probation Department has appealed the BSCC's unsuitability ruling,
asserting that improvements have been made, but regulators have upheld the closure order.
Management and operational issues have plagued Los Padrinos since it hastily reopened two years ago to house detainees from Central Juvenile Hall in Boyle Heights and Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall in Sylmar. The BSCC ordered the county to close both of those facilities. Since the reopening, Los Padrinos has suffered from short-staffing, escape attempts and allegations of violence among detainees — in some cases while probation officers allegedly stood by and failed to stop fights.
In March, 30 probation officers were facing criminal charges involving alleged cases of youth detainee violence at the facility. According to prosecutors, probation officers would stage "gladiator fights" among the detainees. California Attorney General Rob Bonta's office alleged 69 fights were allowed to occur involving youths at Los Padrinos between July and December 2023.
