CA is a national leader in tackling fraud on state programs and the numbers prove it: My office has recovered nearly $2.7B in the last 10 years.

The purple frog, also known as the pig-nosed frog, might be spotted along India’s Western Ghats mountains. It uses its sensitive snout to sniff out snacks, like termites, and then scoops them out with its fluted tongue!

The ridge will eventually break, but we will have to wait a few more days. You can see a series of lows developing well offshore that will begin to wear away at the ridge and weaken it enough for precipitation to return by this weekend. Until then we will see above normal temps and dry conditions.
