For Latinos, Anaheim gang sweep rubs riots' wounds. Should police have waited?
Anaheim police say the sweep couldn't wait, and getting gang members and guns off the street will make the city safer. But Latino residents, still bitter after police shootings that sparked riots, saw a power play.
Alex Gallardo/Reuters
Anaheim, Calif.
For the police in Anaheim, where the rates for murder and crime in general have soared over the past year, the gang sweep was an operation that could not wait.
But for many residents of the mostly Latino neighborhoods where the sweep took place, the police action last Friday, dubbed "Operation Halo," was just a power play following a riot-filled July and early August.
Whether the operation achieves the stated goal of reducing crime in California's 10th-largest city remains to be seen, but for the time being, the residents' bitter reaction points to a deep mistrust of city officials that is lingering weeks after the fatal police shootings that sparked the riots.
The police sweep Friday, a massive sting operation targeting a group known as the Eastside Anaheim gang, resulted in the arrests of 33 purported gang members. In addition to the arrests, the department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms seized 40 guns and nearly 12 pounds of crystal methamphetamine.
According to police, crime in the affected neighborhoods was so bad that the sweep couldn't wait, even though communities here are still reeling from the violent riots sparked by a series of officer-involved shootings in recent weeks.
"We decided we couldn't put this off any longer," Anaheim Police Chief John Welter said in a Friday press conference detailing the operation. "We can't wait until another person gets shot."
But while the department acknowledged the potentially problematic timing of the crackdown (saying it even considered a delay), residents see it as retaliation.
"I think they're doing a payback to the community," insists Yecenia Rojas, who lives in the Anna Drive neighborhood of west Anaheim next door to the small apartment building where an officer shot and killed Manuel Diaz, a local man who police say had gang ties. "They're trying to tell us that they're the ones that control Anaheim. They want us to be afraid."
"We've been asking police to stay out of our neighborhoods for now, because this isn't a good time," says Martin Lopez, a community organizer and recording secretary for Unite Here! Local 11, a union representing hotel and restaurant workers. "People feel the police are coming in and making fun of them, that this is a retaliation for all of the press, all of the attention that is being called out on Anaheim.
"These police units, they know who gang members are," he adds. "They know precisely where they live, they can wait and arrest these guys any time. No. They come in and tear down your doors, destroy people's homes. So not only are they not helping, but they come in and make them feel worse."
Ms. Rojas, a leader and self-described "big mouth" of the tightly knit Anna Drive community, has known most of the men arrested on the street for years – some from the time they were small children.
"Arturo, oh my God. He's a nice guy," she says, fingering a typed sheet of paper detailing the names and charges of those arrested from Anna Drive. "If anyone needs their car fixed, he's the one. He works at the Wendy's. He saw everything when the cops killed Manuel. So why did they take him? He might be guilty of having a ticket or something, driving without a license. But he isn't doing what the police say he did."
A soaring crime rate and a feeling of disenfranchisement among Anaheim's poor have boiled over into a chaotic summer for Anaheim. More than 54 percent of the city's 336, 265 residents are Latino, and a good chunk live in the western "flatlands" neighborhoods, apart from the more affluent, white "Anaheim Hills" in the east.
Westside community leaders have been working for years to change the city's electoral process for more equal representation, fighting, along with the ACLU, for a districted election system wherein local officials would have to live in the neighborhoods they represent.
Of the five City Council members that comprise Anaheim's city government leadership, including Mayor Tom Tait, only one lives outside of Anaheim Hills.
As a result, Lopez says, the Westside gets left behind. "Our young kids are growing up, there are no jobs, no programs for them – those things are offered in other areas that don't need them. City Council has been ignoring that cry for help."
Over the past year, Anaheim's crime rate has jumped 10 percent, and the murder rate has nearly doubled. Gang violence has definitely become a concern, Lopez says, adding that until recently, residents were trying to work with the police to address the problem. "It helps when there is a police presence in a more positive way," he says, outlining efforts including meetings and community walks involving police in neighborhoods with gang activity.
But in recent weeks locals have become much more fearful of police than they are of gangs. "We thought things were going well, until, boom [the shootings and riots] happened and I feel like everything went down the drain. When people see police in military fatigues and riot gear, pointing assault weapons at you, what do they expect?" he says. "People get really nervous, thinking, am I going to get shot today?"
"If criminals realize residents are afraid of us, they exploit that," Police Chief Welter said Friday.Â
The department says the crackdown was successful in making the troubled neighborhoods safer, and that public reaction has been generally positive.
"We had residents coming up to our officers offering handshakes and thanks for our efforts," wrote Anaheim Police Department spokesman Sgt. Bob Dunn via e-mail. "This operation has taken many of the gang's leadership off the streets. Our hope is that we can help the neighborhood with services and skills that will help them take ownership of their neighborhood. This will allow us to work with them on crime prevention."
But Rojas, who was hit was rubber bullets the night the July 25th riots broke out outside City Hall, thinks the police just want to portray her community and others like it in the worst possible light. "This is not for the Anna Drive that the media is putting on TV," she says. "We want peace, we have dignity, and we deserve to be treated with respect."
Even so, Rojas says she and her husband are looking to move away from the street she has lived on since age 7, for the sake of their six children. "It's gotten too dangerous. We're looking to see if we can get a house. I have to think about the kids."Â

Peralta, Holliday named All-Star starters
ST. LOUIS -- After combining to make eight previous All-Star appearances as player or manager selectees, outfielder Matt Holliday and shortstop Jhonny Peralta learned on Sunday that they will represent the Cardinals in the July 14 Midsummer Classic as fan-elected starters for the first times in their respective careers.
Manager Mike Matheny informed both players before Sunday's 2-1 win that, after weeks of online fan voting, both earned starting assignments for the National League squad. The All-Star nod is the seventh of Holliday's career and the third for Peralta, whose previous two came as an American League player. While this is Holliday's first time as a fan-elected starter, he made the starting lineup as an injury replacement in 2008 and 2011.

Perfect fit
Robyn from Orlando, FL – Verified Buyer
I love these dividers, they will work perfect. The dividers are better made than the bins I purchased to go with them so I am hoping I can find better bins to use these dividers in because they are great.
Deviders help stabilize bins they go to
Michael from Far Rockaway, NY – Verified Buyer
These bins are relatively thin and flimsy, but the deviders make much better use of the space. Can put multiple items in the bin without them getting mixed together. The dividers hero Deviders are great, bins they go to are a little flimsy. The dividers help add stability to the bins by adding structure in a few places.
Great bins!

Heads up: Top comment and controversy
Exposure: The Jimmy Savile documentary review
04 October 2012 09:24 AM
Those who stayed up to watch last night's ITV investigation into Jimmy Savile's alleged abuse of young girls will have switched off with a damning picture of the disc jockey, says Caroline Frost on the Huffington Post.
"The actual incidents were less shocking for the fact that they have been much touted across the media in the last few days, with more and more stories being unravelled."
"Nevertheless", says Frost "it was still disturbing to hear" the accounts of his alleged victims.
"Most chilling of all, arguably, was the footage of him welcoming his guest Gary Glitter to his show Clunk Click, where they both shared the stage with lots of young girls."
Savile's recent death means there's nobody to punish here - but Frost hopes that the women who spoke to camera will "feel immeasurably better".
How they were ever put at such risk, however, asks "huge questions of more people than just the not so genial eccentric".

Overall Good choice for price!
Cheryl from Longmont, CO – Verified Buyer
I'm a 66 low-income senior lady and am having extreme nerve pain from cervical and lumbar disk issues. Needed something to sit on that could also elevate legs without having to use a recliner pushed all the way back. Also needed to watch my price limit. After reading the reviews on all the chairs like this up to $400, I chose this particular one for the following reasons: 1. No head pillow or bump out...these never hit me correctly (I'm 5'5"). 2. Liked the interior dimensions as I'm of medium weight/width and can just snuggle my 10 lb dog next to me instead of on top of me. 3. Liked idea of some heat since leather (faux to real) always is cold in winter and feels sticky to me. 4. Already have a shiatsu massage unit for back so liked idea of vibration levels. 5. Needed a compact chair for small apt. with small ottoman that could elevate legs independently. 6. Wanted to swivel so I could watch TV or turn easily to watch on-line from desktop computer screen; also to swivel other way to visit people sitting on loveseat and side chair. Cons: 1. Heat isn't separate from vibration so can't just heat the chair. Also, pretty minimal heat. 2. A bit noisy which I've become accustomed to now just don't know if my neighbor can hear it or feel it. I can definitely feel the vibration in my bedroom. Chair in next room. (Afraid to ask neighbor.) 3. Because this has to hold vibration equipment, the seat is not as well cushioned as equally priced non massaging recliners or possibly higher cost massage recliners. When my lumbar is especially painful, I need to add extra cushioning which then offsets the vibration. 4. Be careful about getting out of chair because the cord connecting to ottoman can trip you up on one side. But swivel makes it easy to do once you remember! 5. Would like the ottoman to have a slight adjustment...either be able to lower one-two notch levels or slightly tilt foot end down a little if wanted to (it's completely level). PROS: 1. on sale pricing (got mine for $165) at Wayfair vs other websites with this product always was best. 2. arrived quicker than expected; friend assembled it...little bit confusing about attaching the arms but quick after that.. 3. Have been using it every day and finding it more to my liking...especially early in morning when very stiff. Even when I must add some extra cushioning for my tailbone/low back, the rest of the massage helps to get the blood flowing to rest of areas.

This was one of the best purchases I ever made. I was designing a spare room as an office space for my husband. It was a huge design project as a surprise for his birthday. He has a back injury and I wanted an area in the room where he could relax while reading. I also wanted it to have a modern and classy look, but be comfortable and therapeutic. It looked fantastic. He loved the chair. But I knew I had hit perfection when I found him sound asleep, headphones in his ears, comforter wrapped around him, leaning all the way back, and snoring while the chair massaged his back. He usually never takes naps and cannot get comfortable due to his back. Now he regularly finds time on the weekends to disappear into his office for a nap and a massage. The price was outstanding and the results priceless.
Just got it, but so far love it!

Just FYI, 60+ year old with bad neck. Yet, I had no problem moving the box nor removing the parts from it. Although the instructions could be a bit more detailed, had no problem putting it together. Took about 45 minutes ('cause I put a couple screws in the wrong place)! 5'11" and 215#, and the chair fits just great. 1) There is only a very faint smell (saw other comments). And I might not have notice it if I hadn't read the other review :) 2) The vibration and heat are just great. Remember, we only paid about $180 for the chair, not $2000 like others you'll see. And I didn't realize you also get the vibes in the ottoman! 3) The back is really straight up and down (compared to some you see which have large neck pillows built in. For myself, that is a plus, cannot have my neck "propped up". 4) I agree it would be nice if the chair would "stop" in intermediate positions. 5) The material looks great, even though it isn't real leather. VERY pleased with this purchase. Overall, very pleased
Just what I was looking for!
Peter from Elkton, MD – Verified Buyer
Wayfair. Fast delivery! I wanted a chair that I could use to play video games on infront of the tv. This wasn't my first choice, but I have love it. It was in a good price range, comfortable, easy to put together, lightweight but not to too light and heated seat feature was separate from the massage. I only have 2 cons: the padding in the cushion could have used a tad more. When I find myself in a different sitting position, such as, Indian style on the seat itself, I can feel some of the massage balls through the cushion. I know this is a user error because it's not meant for me to sit in such a position but never the less it sit bugs me. The 2nd is there is no lever for you to lock the chair in place if you wanted to. Gaming can get intense at moments and leave you wanting to sit straight up. I am 5'5 and about 165 lbs. if that helps anyone in their decision.
Heated massage chair
Ellen Flynn from Columbus, OH
My FF heated massage arrived in less than 3 days...Impressive! Once I had everything unpacked & laid out, it took me approx 30 min to put together and I'm a fit & handy 53 yr. old female. All parts arrived in very good condition except for 1 of the arm rests as it has a pretty deep crease on the top front from the way it was packed. Hoping it will fill back out on its own. The chair has very good heat & vibration massage. With 5 levels of intensity & 9 different massage modes, I'm very happy. I'm not always the most fond of massage chairs that knead too deep & cause pain. I bought this chair to use in my salon, but will now buy one for home since I didn't want to get out of this one once I tried it. Super relaxing!
Amazing Purchase and Price!!!
Tennegirl from Cleveland, TN – Verified Buyer
This chair was SO easy to put together. It is wonderful! I love the heat and massage. It is so comfy that I totally relax when I sit in it. I actually had to "turn it off" to be able to do stuff! I am so pleased with the leather quality (like butter) and it really does work on relaxing you and make you feel great. Also I had been using a recliner chair with massage but no heat. It was so low it was hard to see my PC monitors and also difficult to play PC games. ( I have 2 monitors and both are now easy to see) and use for gaming PC and daily use PC. GREAT BUY! Arrived in great condition! Shipped SO FAST!! I am so happy to have this chair!! Thank You Wayfair!! I will be buying again AND telling others!!
Great Chair!
Annette from South Carolina – Verified Buyer
This is a great chair. The quality is really nice and it is just as it's pictured and described. Both the chair and the ottoman are nice and sturdy and everything works just as it should. I do question whether the leather is genuine, but it's nice and is holding up well.
Kimberly from Upper Marlboro, MD – Verified Buyer
This chair is extremely comfortable. I fall asleep every time I sit in it. The ottoman is sturdy and comfortable as well. The massage and heat features are nice, not earthshattering, but nice, especially for the money. Our first chair arrived with damage to one of the wires. When we called Wayfair for instructions to return it, they told us to keep it and sent us another one which was in perfect condition. We got two (or 1.5 the massage function doesn't work on the first one) for the price of one. That is some customer service and what sold me on Wayfair. I love these chairs and I love this company.
Very nice chair
Lynne from Georgetown, TX – Verified Buyer
I was afraid this was going to look too "officey" as I wanted it for a reading chair for our den, but it's not. Very comfy, easy to move. Good quality material and not difficult to put together. I would definitely recommend this and would buy it again. Perfect for a small space where you want to be able to move it easily from one spot to the next.

The 'Leather Heated Reclining Massage Chair with Ottoman' was an incredible find. The massage action works great, and the heat function is a big plus too. It works well for arthritis sufferers like me. I've had a number of compliments on how good it looks. My neighbor agreed, and bought one also. Thanks Wayfair, for the superb deal!

2006 Ford Explorer Q&A
2006 Ford Explorer Question: Fan periodically running at high rpm
Periodically while driving, the fan will rev at high rpms (almost same speed as my engine rpms as accelerating), but temp is normal. This type of thing usually begins after I come to a stop, then when I accelerate, the fan starts reving high (faster i go, faster fan runs). The first time it happens, car runs really hot to the point my temp light comes on and temp gauge is all the way at the top (in the red)for about 5 seconds. Then runs normal temp after that but fan does rev high (I sound like a jet taking off). Is this my thermostat or something different? - Bernnz
7 Answers
Answer 1
Hi, Did you find out what was causing this problem? Was the fan bad or the coolant thermostat? Thanks! - Bret Bodas
Answer 3
YES I KNOW WHAT IT IS. I kept wondering what was wrong and it kept getting worse. I finally took it to the dealership and lo and behold the raditor is busted! Radiators are not covered under extended warranties! (Found this out the hard way)So with that said I have to buy a new radiator and a thermostat. GEEZ! - twolton
Answer 6
It was also the radiator here. Figured it out after replacing the fan motor which had gone bad because it was constantly running. I ended up "repairing" it with a bottle of BARS LEAKS and it's held for 9 months so far. I know it's only a temp fix but its been running fine since......Definitely a Ford problem, something with the mounting i believe. - Visitor
Answer 7
I had this same problem and Apple Valley Ford was able to repair it. Following is the work completed on the service ticket: "Insp under vehicle found the water pump leaking. Coolant low. Suspect the low coolant causing cooling fan to engage and become louder randomly. Replaced water pump assembly. Filled and purged cooling system. Retested. No noises." After completing this work, the fan noises went away - it did not require replacement of the radiator. - CodyTheK9
