In this assignment, you'll scrape text from The California Aggie and then analyze the text.
The Aggie is organized by category into article lists. For example, there's a Campus News list, Arts & Culture list, and Sports list. Notice that each list has multiple pages, with a maximum of 15 articles per page.
The goal of exercises 1.1 - 1.3 is to scrape articles from the Aggie for analysis in exercise 1.4.

Exercise 1.1. Write a function that extracts all of the links to articles in an Aggie article list. The function should:
Have a parameter url for the URL of the article list.
Have a parameter page for the number of pages to fetch links from. The default should be 1.
Return a list of aricle URLs (each URL should be a string).
Test your function on 2-3 different categories to make sure it works.
Hints:
Be polite to The Aggie and save time by setting up requests_cache before you write your function.
Start by getting your function to work for just 1 page. Once that works, have your function call itself to get additional pages.
You can use lxml.html or BeautifulSoup to scrape HTML. Choose one and use it throughout the entire assignment.
Exercise 1.2. Write a function that extracts the title, text, and author of an Aggie article. The function should:
Have a parameter url for the URL of the article.
For the author, extract the "Written By" line that appears at the end of most articles. You don't have to extract the author's name from this line.
Return a dictionary with keys "url", "title", "text", and "author". The values for these should be the article url, title, text, and author, respectively.
For example, for this article your function should return something similar to this:

'text': u'Davis residents create financial model to make city\'s financial state more transparent To increase transparency between the city\'s financial situation and the community, three residents created a model called Project Toto which aims to improve how the city communicates its finances in an easily accessible design. Jeff Miller and Matt Williams, who are members of Davis\' Finance and Budget Commission, joined together with Davis entrepreneur Bob Fung to create the model plan to bring the project to the Finance and Budget Commission in February, according to Kelly Stachowicz, assistant city manager. "City staff appreciate the efforts that have gone into this, and the interest in trying to look at the city\'s potential financial position over the long term," Stachowicz said in an email interview. "We all have a shared goal to plan for a sound fiscal future with few surprises. We believe the Project Toto effort will mesh well with our other efforts as we build the budget for the next fiscal year and beyond." Project Toto complements the city\'s effort to amplify the transparency of city decisions to community members. The aim is to increase the understanding about the city\'s financial situation and make the information more accessible and easier to understand. The project is mostly a tool for public education, but can also make predictions about potential decisions regarding the city\'s financial future. Once completed, the program will allow residents to manipulate variables to see their eventual consequences, such as tax increases or extensions and proposed developments "This really isn\'t a budget, it is a forecast to see the intervention of these decisions," Williams said in an interview with The Davis Enterprise. "What happens if we extend the sales tax? What does it do given the other numbers that are in?" Project Toto enables users, whether it be a curious Davis resident, a concerned community member or a city leader, with the ability to project city finances with differing variables. The online program consists of the 400-page city budget for the 2016-2017 fiscal year, the previous budget, staff reports and consultant analyses. All of the documents are cited and accessible to the public within Project Toto. "It\'s a model that very easily lends itself to visual representation," Mayor Robb Davis said. "You can see the impacts of decisions the council makes on the fiscal health of the city." Complementary to this program, there is also a more advanced version of the model with more in-depth analyses of the city\'s finances. However, for an easy-to-understand, simplistic overview, Project Toto should be enough to help residents comprehend Davis finances. There is still more to do on the project, but its creators are hard at work trying to finalize it before the 2017-2018 fiscal year budget. "It\'s something I have been very much supportive of," Davis said. "Transparency is not just something that I have been supportive of but something we have stated as a city council objective [ ] this fits very well with our attempt to inform the public of our challenges with our fiscal situation."

'text': ['Within the past century, smoking cigarettes was advised by physicians as a method of keeping a slim figure. The health effects of this were disastrous and progressive awareness campaigns were launched that gradually brought the smoking rate to its current ',
' in the U.S. Recently, the UC Newsroom investigated a similar and potentially just as dangerous contender that has joined the smoking room: electronic cigarettes.',
u'E-cigarettes, also known as vapes or e-hookahs, are devices that heat a nicotine-containing liquid into an aerosol that the user inhales. What many vapers may not realize is that, besides nicotine, e-cigarettes can contain potentially harmful ingredients including chemicals known to cause heart and lung disease, heavy metals, carcinogens and other ultrafine particles. Though advertised as \u201c',
u'\u201d by the e-cigarette industry, this couldn\u2019t be further from the truth.',
u'\u201cWe are learning more about the health impacts of inhaling vapor, or aerosol and secondhand vapor,\u201d said Elisa Tong, UC Davis assistant professor of general medicine who works with UC Quits, a tobacco cessation network across the five UC medical campuses. \u201cIt is not water vapor but propylene glycol that contains other chemicals [nicotine, flavorings, additives] and particles.\u201d',
'The sleek design and technological sophistication are just a couple of factors that contribute to a cloud of appeal and normalcy around the notorious e-cigarette. The media, which heavily influences the perception of products on the market, has also played a critical role in skyrocketing popularity.',
u'\u201cEvery single big tobacco company has at least one e-cigarette brand. Since e-cigarettes had not been regulated, they used many of the same advertising tactics that they did for cigarettes years ago,\u201d Tong said. \u201cCertainly this includes getting product placement and celebrity endorsements that are advertised through the media.\u201d',
u'Along with this, a plethora of attractive flavors, such as \u201cSmurf Cake\u201d and \u201cFruit Hoops,\u201d often make it appear as though you are purchasing a pack of bubblegum rather than a harmful nicotine product. These flavors, though edible, can be harmful when inhaled. Diacetyl, a chemical linked to lung disease, is an example of a common flavorant in e-cigarettes, according to the ',
'Besides the negative long-term health effects, e-cigarettes also have explosive tendencies.',
u' \u201cBatteries used in e-cigarettes have been known to explode causing burns and damage to teeth,\u201d said Diana Cassady, a UC Davis professor in the Department of Public Health Sciences in an email interview. \xa0',
u'Another indisputable problem with e-cigarettes is that they continue to fuel smokers\u2019 nicotine addictions, an unfortunate effect considering that many try to use them to wean themselves off of traditional cigarettes.',
u'\u201cA puff on an e-cigarette is not as dangerous as a puff on a regular cigarette,\u201d said tobacco control activist Stanton Glantz.',
u'\u201cThe most important negative effect of vaping is that they keep people smoking conventional cigarettes. They reduce the likelihood that a smoker will quit by a third.\u201d',
'The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends FDA-approved nicotine replacement products, such as skin patches and chewing gum, for current smokers wishing to quit. The ',
u' also revealed that the use of e-cigarettes is \u201chigher among high school students than adults.\u201d \xa0',

'text': ['After five years of providing business to students and locals of Davis, the Whole Foods Market on 1st Street closed on Sunday, Feb. 12. The Davis location was one of nine Whole Foods Markets across the country to permanently close.',
u'The Whole Foods Market in Davis was located in a small shopping center along with several other eateries. The closure was part of an evaluation nationwide to determine which Whole Food\u2019s locations were underperforming. The local market faced competition from other supermarkets and stores in the city, such as Safeway, Trader Joe\u2019s and the Davis Food Co-op. Whole Foods markets itself on its organic food that does not use artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, sweeteners or hydrogenated fats. Although this is a healthy benefit, many students could not afford the price tag associated with the products.',
u'\u201cI think it affects students for the most part,\u201d said John Tuquero, a Verizon Wireless employee in the shopping center in which Whole Foods was located.',
'Despite the fact that not all students or residents could afford the prices at Whole Foods, the store was a common location for students to grab a bite to eat while studying. ',
u'\u201cIt saddens me that Whole Foods is closing because it\u2019s not just a grocery store, but also an outing where people can connect together,\u201d said Forrest Pasturel, a first-year environmental policy and analysis major and former employee at the Whole Foods in Los Altos. \u201cIt was at a very convenient spot, and would have been near my future apartment.\u201d ',
'However, others argue that people would go to Whole Foods but not actually purchase enough for the company to make a profit.',
u'\u201cThat\u2019s why it closed down \u2013\u2013 people used [Whole Foods] as a hang out spot and not to purchase,\u201d said Mike Silva, another Verizon Wireless store employee. \u201c[Whole Foods closing] also provides more opportunity for local stores, like Trader Joe\u2019s, to grow.\u201d',
'Davis students, employers and residents are wondering what will move into the place of the Whole Foods on the Fulcrum Property. ',
u'\u201cI\u2019d love to have something in there that would generate sales tax revenue for the city \u2013\u2013 it\u2019s something that we critically need,\u201d said Mayor Robb Davis.',
'And, while some are hoping for an Apple store or another big corporate company, others want to keep the small-town college vibe by supporting smaller, locally-owned businesses. No matter what the market is replaced with, the closing of Whole Foods will have a lasting impact on the Davis community as a whole.',

u'What was originally planned as a protest against Planned Parenthood quickly became an outnumbered protest featuring women, men and individuals of all ages, races and social backgrounds fighting for support of the organization and for women\u2019s rights. ',
u'Over 80 individuals RSVP\u2019d to the Woodland Facebook event that hosted the counter protests in support of Planned Parenthood, but estimates made by ralliers in attendance were closer to 150 people, with some showing up as early as 8 a.m.',
u'This event in Woodland was just one of five rallies held in the greater Sacramento region, with more than 225 rallies held at Planned Parenthood locations across 45 states nationwide. \xa0',
u'In Woodland, those who rallied in support of the organization carried banners and placards with slogans saying things such as \u201cI stand with Planned Parenthood\u201d and \u201cnot your body, not your business.\u201d Many men and women also wore pink to show their solidarity with the national health care provider.

The state hopes to return the property taxes to public agencies within Davis, such as the ',
'Davis Joint Unified School District',
' or Yolo County services. ',
'California has distributed money to revitalizing broken-down cities, and, while some cities desperately needed the funds, cities like Davis used them for less dire projects. The city chose to invest in properties like the Historic City Hall, the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame, the Dresbach-Hunt Boyer Mansion and the parking garage above the Regal Holiday Cinema.',
u'\u201cThe state wanted [the money given to the cities by the RDA] back so we are complying with the state\u2019s orders,\u201d said Brett Lee, Davis city councilmember. \u201cWe are going to put it out on the open market and see who bids for it.\u201d',
'The state looked through all of the properties that stemmed from finances provided by the RDA and allowed for cities to retain ownership of properties that still serve public and/or government use. ',
u'Davis\u2019 Historic City Hall, however, now houses a restaurant and bar, which does not necessarily serve any type of public service. As a result, the state now requires that Davis put the property on the open market.',
u'\u201cDavis has initiated the early stages of marketing for its historic city hall,\u201d said Stacey Winton, a City of Davis media and communications officer. \u201cLocated at 226 F. St., the vacant building has not been used for city affairs but contains a restaurant, Bistro 33, in both the building and outside patio. ',
'Despite losing ownership of the property, the city will gain access to bond funds from the state once it is sold. Once the real estate has been dissolved, the city will also receive 21 percent of the proceeds, with 33.5 percent going to ',
'the Davis Joint Unified School District, 25 percent to the county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund and the remainder to be dispersed among various organizations like the Yolo County Library and the Davis Cemetery District.',
'That process is now underway with the city looking to hire a commercial broker by this spring. ',
u'While the new owner will gain rights to the property, the building is deemed a historical landmark. Therefore, no major structural changes can be made without first consulting the council and the city\u2019s Historic Resource Management Commission.',
u'While there hasn\u2019t been an official appraisal of the property, the council estimates its value to be about $2.3 million. This number is too high for the City of Davis to consider investing in the property, according to city officials. ',
u'Mayor Robb Davis noted that the city will not seek to obtain the building. Although the decision and process has been difficult for the city, there are limited options. The building will remain in the public sphere and will continue to be valued as a historical space and part of the city\u2019s history. ',
u'\u201cWe have to demonstrate to the state that we are maximizing revenue from that sale,\u201d Davis said. \u201cIt would be difficult for us to demonstrate that we are purchasing it at market [value] if we get it at a rate that we can potentially afford so we are unanimous in saying that it should be sold at market rate.\u201d'],

u'\u201cI have noticed an outpour of support for the Muslim community,\u201d said Noreen Mansuri, a third-year neurology, physiology and behavior major and a Muslim student and activist.',
'In the wake of a ',
u' at the Islamic Center of Davis, hundreds of members of the Davis community gathered in Central Park to show their support of the Muslim community. Signs and banners have been hung in front of the Islamic Center, covered in signatures from numerous members of the community and reading \u201cwe support you.\u201d',
u'\u201cI do not think there is as much detachment as there has been before,\u201d Mansuri said. \u201cThere is no longer this predominating attitude that, \u2018well, it does not directly affect me, so I do not really have an opinion\u2019.\u201d',
'Almost $20,000 was donated to the Islamic Center via an online Kickstarter to help compensate for broken windows, destroyed bicycles and door handles wrapped in raw bacon. Several organizations have offered rewards of over $1,000 in return for the identity of the vandal.',
u'Interim Chancellor Ralph J. Hexter released a joint statement responding to the incident with Mayor Robb Davis and Student Affairs Vice Chancellor Adela de la Torre which stated, \u201cUC Davis and the City of Davis are home to people of the Muslim faith from around the world. Each one enriches our lives and brings new perspectives to our community. We will continue our work to support and protect them and to stand against those seeking to sow fear.\u201d ',
'Although support for the Muslim community continues, there is still no shortage of negativity, according to Mansuri.',
u'\u201cThere is still a lot of hateful sentiment,\u201d Mansuri said. \u201cThis weekend I received an alert that a box of pork tenderloins was left outside of an apartment known to be home to Muslim students.\u201d',
'On Feb. 3, a federal judge issued a suspension on the order after the Attorney General in Washington state challenged the order. A request to reinstate the travel ban was blocked twice within a week afterward in San Francisco and Washington State. President Trump responded in a series of tweets and Facebook statements criticizing the appeals. ',
u'\u201cThe opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned,\u201d Trump tweeted, following the initial freeze of the travel ban.',
u'On Feb. 10, the president was also quoted saying that he plans to file a new executive order with \u201cvery little changes.\u201d',
'Despite the actions taken by the President, students and residents urge each other to remain informed and ready to support those affected by new developments. Mansuri urges nonmuslims to reach out to their muslim friends in this time of need.',
u'\u201cAfter you reach out, get involved,\u201d Mansuri said. \u201cAttend events, talks, panels, protests, and educate yourself. There is no shortage of people to talk to. Do not be shy. Be open minded and open hearted.\u201d'],

'With new bins, waste overflow and crew maintenance will be reduced. Currently, many of the existing bins lack clear labeling and are too small to allow items to be placed inside, causing bins downtown to regularly overflow with waste. Because of the excessive amount of waste production, park crews spend hours each day managing this waste issue.',

'To help relieve crew workers and reduce waste production in the city, Gilbert suggested that residents divert personal waste into recycling and organics bins at home and at work. ',
'In downtown Davis, the new grant funds will also go toward solar powered bins. Solar powered bins crush waste to reduce overflow and, once full, alert the city through a messaging system that the bins can be emptied. It is grant funds like these from CalRecycle that make purchasing new and innovative waste solutions a possibility in Davis and throughout the state. ',

u'\u201cThe police will not ask, seek to know, or record someone\u2019s [immigration] status in any interaction [\u2026] This is something that we\u2019ve done, as many other cities have, to encourage trust in the police so that if something happens to someone, they\u2019re not fearful of contacting the police,\u201d Davis said. \xa0',

However, there are various other costs associated with the program other than the initial amount. Yolo Hospice asked its volunteers to look for funding through donors, and it ended up obtaining $1,500 from the Davis Sunrise Rotary Club.',

{'author': 'Burrowing Owl Preservation Society sues City of Davis for improper assessment of environmental impact of Marriott hotel',
'text': ['The Burrowing Owl Preservation Society (BOPS), which aims to educate the public and support conservation efforts for our feathered friends, filed a lawsuit on Jan. 5 against the City of Davis for its insufficient report on the environmental implications of the Marriott Residence Inn building site.',
'A pair of burrowing owls lives on the vacant plot of land located on Fermi Place, near the Mace Boulevard and 2nd Street intersection in East Davis. The hotel, which plans to break ground this fall, will stand four-stories tall with 120 rooms, a meeting room and other amenities; however, the burrowing owls will no longer have a place to reside once the project beings.',
'In 2007, BOPS conducted a study that counted 63 breeding pairs of burrowing owls in Yolo County. In 2014, a census calculated that the estimated population declined to 15 breeding pairs. This sharp decline was attributed to a loss of habitats, a presence of predators and the California drought.',
'Burrowing owls were once extensively dispersed and were considered common birds but they have substantially dwindled down in the past half century. Now the population stands as a State Species of Special Concern and a Federal Bird of Conservation Concern.',
'Janet Foley, a ',
'professor of medicine and epidemiology at the School of Veterinary Medicine, works as a board member for the BOPS. Foley hopes to create a dialogue between conservationists, the City of Davis and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to protect these owls, which can then be a model for better protection for birds statewide.',
u'\u201cIn Davis, virtually every spot that used to have owls has no owls,\u201d Foley said. ',
'\n',
u'\u201cThis is in my backyard and I feel that this city presents itself as environmentally friendly. I think it\u2019s really important in a university town that it is environmentally friendly and we take care of one of our most endangered resources.\u201d',
'Attorney Dan Mooney is representing BOPS for this case. BOPS alleges the council inaccurately concluded that the construction of the hotel would not have a substantial effect on the environment despite the abundant evidence that proves otherwise.',
u'The complaint called into question the city council\u2019s decision to approve a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Marriott property. An MND states that an initial study yielded no significant impact on the environment and that certain mitigations will reduce or eliminate the implications of the project; no further studies are needed. It assesses whether there may be a slight impact on the surrounding habitat but certain mitigations lessen or eradicate the aftereffects to less than significant, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).',
u'\u201cWe are not opposed to the hotel,\u201d said Catherine Portman, the BOPS president. \u201cOur issue is not with the developer or the builder. Our issue is with the City of Davis certifying an MND as an adequate level of CEQA review when there are burrowing owls on the property. They should not count eviction as mitigation.\u201d',
u'BOPS decided to take legal action to call attention to the shortcomings of CEQA and of Davis\u2019 leadership. The council\u2019s MND called for \u201cpassive relocation\u201d of the fowl. BOPS strongly opposed this mitigation and explained that this method evicts the owls from their burrows, which the CDFW still allows and routinely practices.',
u'\u201cPassive relocation\u201d involves installing one-way doors on the burrows, which provide owls with shelter year-round. Once the owls leave the burrow, they cannot return.

u'The Whole Foods Market in Davis was located in a small shopping center along with several other eateries. The closure was part of an evaluation nationwide to determine which Whole Food\u2019s locations were underperforming. The local market faced competition from other supermarkets and stores in the city, such as Safeway, Trader Joe\u2019s and the Davis Food Co-op. Whole Foods markets itself on its organic food that does not use artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, sweeteners or hydrogenated fats. Although this is a healthy benefit, many students could not afford the price tag associated with the products.',

The state hopes to return the property taxes to public agencies within Davis, such as the ',
'Davis Joint Unified School District',
' or Yolo County services. ',
'California has distributed money to revitalizing broken-down cities, and, while some cities desperately needed the funds, cities like Davis used them for less dire projects. The city chose to invest in properties like the Historic City Hall, the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame, the Dresbach-Hunt Boyer Mansion and the parking garage above the Regal Holiday Cinema.',
u'\u201cThe state wanted [the money given to the cities by the RDA] back so we are complying with the state\u2019s orders,\u201d said Brett Lee, Davis city councilmember. \u201cWe are going to put it out on the open market and see who bids for it.\u201d',
'The state looked through all of the properties that stemmed from finances provided by the RDA and allowed for cities to retain ownership of properties that still serve public and/or government use. ',
u'Davis\u2019 Historic City Hall, however, now houses a restaurant and bar, which does not necessarily serve any type of public service. As a result, the state now requires that Davis put the property on the open market.',
u'\u201cDavis has initiated the early stages of marketing for its historic city hall,\u201d said Stacey Winton, a City of Davis media and communications officer. \u201cLocated at 226 F. St., the vacant building has not been used for city affairs but contains a restaurant, Bistro 33, in both the building and outside patio. ',
'Despite losing ownership of the property, the city will gain access to bond funds from the state once it is sold. Once the real estate has been dissolved, the city will also receive 21 percent of the proceeds, with 33.5 percent going to ',
'the Davis Joint Unified School District, 25 percent to the county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund and the remainder to be dispersed among various organizations like the Yolo County Library and the Davis Cemetery District.',
'That process is now underway with the city looking to hire a commercial broker by this spring. ',
u'While the new owner will gain rights to the property, the building is deemed a historical landmark. Therefore, no major structural changes can be made without first consulting the council and the city\u2019s Historic Resource Management Commission.',
u'While there hasn\u2019t been an official appraisal of the property, the council estimates its value to be about $2.3 million. This number is too high for the City of Davis to consider investing in the property, according to city officials. ',
u'Mayor Robb Davis noted that the city will not seek to obtain the building. Although the decision and process has been difficult for the city, there are limited options. The building will remain in the public sphere and will continue to be valued as a historical space and part of the city\u2019s history. ',
u'\u201cWe have to demonstrate to the state that we are maximizing revenue from that sale,\u201d Davis said. \u201cIt would be difficult for us to demonstrate that we are purchasing it at market [value] if we get it at a rate that we can potentially afford so we are unanimous in saying that it should be sold at market rate.\u201d'],

This distinction allows Yolo Hospice to provide its patients with iPods and music. ',
u' have shown that patients with Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia who listen to music are more likely to retain their memories.',
'In order to become a Music & Memory Care Certified Organization, a pre-certification webinar must be watched. The cost for one year of certification plus five iPods is $1,000. However, there are various other costs associated with the program other than the initial amount. Yolo Hospice asked its volunteers to look for funding through donors, and it ended up obtaining $1,500 from the Davis Sunrise Rotary Club.',
u'\u201cThe grant was wonderful and very generous,\u201d said Sheryl Mahoney, a marketing and communications specialist at Yolo Hospice. \u201cIt does not cover the total cost of the program, however. We are a nonprofit, and this relies on philanthropic support.\u201d',
u'Patients with Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia are given a playlist, tailored to their individual personalities and based upon their past. Family members and friends are asked to determine the music style, since the genre of music doesn\u2019t affect patients\u2019 ability to recall information; rather, the music should be something that each person can personally connect with on a deeper level. Each patient is then given two playlists, one calming and one upbeat, with 10 to 15 songs each from iTunes.',
u'\u201cYou figure out an individual\u2019s specific likes of their music, so their favorite song and the memories about the pieces of music, not necessarily the genre,\u201d said Nancy Johnston, the social work and spiritual care manager at Yolo Hospice. \u201cIt\u2019s more about them connecting to their past in their music.\u201d',
u'Although music isn\u2019t said to be a complete cure for Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia, it does help \xa0bring some of the patients\u2019 memories back for the time being.',
u'\u201c[Patients are] encouraged to use iPods before bathing or bed,\u201d Johnston said. \u201cMedication is used less and music is used more, because music is more effective. Music is one of the major contributors to the quality of life.\u201d ',
u'The Music & Memory Care Certified Organization has proven to be beneficial for the Yolo Hospice in aiding those with Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia.',
u'\u201cAlive Inside\u201d is a documentary by Dan Cohen, founder of Music & Memory, in which he tries to prove that, through music, people can regain some of their past memories and rediscover a part of themselves.

'There will be a local event in the spring showing this documentary, and all are encouraged to attend to learn more about the organization. Yolo Hospice is also looking for additional ',

{'author': 'Burrowing Owl Preservation Society sues City of Davis for improper assessment of environmental impact of Marriott hotel',
'text': ['The Burrowing Owl Preservation Society (BOPS), which aims to educate the public and support conservation efforts for our feathered friends, filed a lawsuit on Jan. 5 against the City of Davis for its insufficient report on the environmental implications of the Marriott Residence Inn building site.',
'A pair of burrowing owls lives on the vacant plot of land located on Fermi Place, near the Mace Boulevard and 2nd Street intersection in East Davis. The hotel, which plans to break ground this fall, will stand four-stories tall with 120 rooms, a meeting room and other amenities; however, the burrowing owls will no longer have a place to reside once the project beings.',
'In 2007, BOPS conducted a study that counted 63 breeding pairs of burrowing owls in Yolo County. In 2014, a census calculated that the estimated population declined to 15 breeding pairs. This sharp decline was attributed to a loss of habitats, a presence of predators and the California drought.',
'Burrowing owls were once extensively dispersed and were considered common birds but they have substantially dwindled down in the past half century. Now the population stands as a State Species of Special Concern and a Federal Bird of Conservation Concern.',
'Janet Foley, a ',
'professor of medicine and epidemiology at the School of Veterinary Medicine, works as a board member for the BOPS. Foley hopes to create a dialogue between conservationists, the City of Davis and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to protect these owls, which can then be a model for better protection for birds statewide.',
u'\u201cIn Davis, virtually every spot that used to have owls has no owls,\u201d Foley said. ',
'\n',
u'\u201cThis is in my backyard and I feel that this city presents itself as environmentally friendly. I think it\u2019s really important in a university town that it is environmentally friendly and we take care of one of our most endangered resources.\u201d',
'Attorney Dan Mooney is representing BOPS for this case. BOPS alleges the council inaccurately concluded that the construction of the hotel would not have a substantial effect on the environment despite the abundant evidence that proves otherwise.',
u'The complaint called into question the city council\u2019s decision to approve a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Marriott property. An MND states that an initial study yielded no significant impact on the environment and that certain mitigations will reduce or eliminate the implications of the project; no further studies are needed. It assesses whether there may be a slight impact on the surrounding habitat but certain mitigations lessen or eradicate the aftereffects to less than significant, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).',
u'\u201cWe are not opposed to the hotel,\u201d said Catherine Portman, the BOPS president. \u201cOur issue is not with the developer or the builder. Our issue is with the City of Davis certifying an MND as an adequate level of CEQA review when there are burrowing owls on the property. They should not count eviction as mitigation.\u201d',
u'BOPS decided to take legal action to call attention to the shortcomings of CEQA and of Davis\u2019 leadership. The council\u2019s MND called for \u201cpassive relocation\u201d of the fowl. BOPS strongly opposed this mitigation and explained that this method evicts the owls from their burrows, which the CDFW still allows and routinely practices.',
u'\u201cPassive relocation\u201d involves installing one-way doors on the burrows, which provide owls with shelter year-round. Once the owls leave the burrow, they cannot return. The owls are often harmed through the repercussions of this forced removal and may not always find new places to burrow due to existing developments, much like in the case of the pair at Fermi Place. ',
u'\u201cCity council made a statement on Tuesday night (Jan. 24) at the council meeting\u2026[that] the council believes the city went beyond what is legally required in mitigating the impact of the project on burrowing owls,\u201d said Katherine Hess, a Davis community development administrator. \u201cWe believe that petitioners should take their concerns to [CDFW] since they are the regulating agency and the city must comply with Fish and Wildlife requirements.\u201d'],

u'The Whole Foods Market in Davis was located in a small shopping center along with several other eateries. The closure was part of an evaluation nationwide to determine which Whole Food\u2019s locations were underperforming. The local market faced competition from other supermarkets and stores in the city, such as Safeway, Trader Joe\u2019s and the Davis Food Co-op. Whole Foods markets itself on its organic food that does not use artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, sweeteners or hydrogenated fats.

The state hopes to return the property taxes to public agencies within Davis, such as the ',
'Davis Joint Unified School District',
' or Yolo County services. ',
'California has distributed money to revitalizing broken-down cities, and, while some cities desperately needed the funds, cities like Davis used them for less dire projects. The city chose to invest in properties like the Historic City Hall, the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame, the Dresbach-Hunt Boyer Mansion and the parking garage above the Regal Holiday Cinema.',

'The state looked through all of the properties that stemmed from finances provided by the RDA and allowed for cities to retain ownership of properties that still serve public and/or government use. ',
u'Davis\u2019 Historic City Hall, however, now houses a restaurant and bar, which does not necessarily serve any type of public service. As a result, the state now requires that Davis put the property on the open market.',
u'\u201cDavis has initiated the early stages of marketing for its historic city hall,\u201d said Stacey Winton, a City of Davis media and communications officer. \u201cLocated at 226 F. St., the vacant building has not been used for city affairs but contains a restaurant, Bistro 33, in both the building and outside patio. ',
'Despite losing ownership of the property, the city will gain access to bond funds from the state once it is sold. Once the real estate has been dissolved, the city will also receive 21 percent of the proceeds, with 33.5 percent going to ',
'the Davis Joint Unified School District, 25 percent to the county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund and the remainder to be dispersed among various organizations like the Yolo County Library and the Davis Cemetery District.',
'That process is now underway with the city looking to hire a commercial broker by this spring. ',
u'While the new owner will gain rights to the property, the building is deemed a historical landmark. Therefore, no major structural changes can be made without first consulting the council and the city\u2019s Historic Resource Management Commission.',

'text': ['The City of Davis will soon have new recycling bins throughout town thanks to a $197,851 grant awarded by the State Department of Resources, Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). ',
u'\u201cThe funds will be used to purchase new recycling bins for the Downtown core area, parks and greenbelts and to purchase a few solar compacting trash/recycling units,\u201d said Jennifer Gilbert, conservation coordinator for the City of Davis Public Works Department in an email interview. ',
'With new bins, waste overflow and crew maintenance will be reduced. Currently, many of the existing bins lack clear labeling and are too small to allow items to be placed inside, causing bins downtown to regularly overflow with waste. Because of the excessive amount of waste production, park crews spend hours each day managing this waste issue.',
u'\u201cOur parks crews spend 5 hours a day, 7 days a week emptying bins from Downtown Davis. Within hours of the bins being emptied, they are overflowing again,\u201d Gilbert said. ',
'To help relieve crew workers and reduce waste production in the city, Gilbert suggested that residents divert personal waste into recycling and organics bins at home and at work. ',
'In downtown Davis, the new grant funds will also go toward solar powered bins. Solar powered bins crush waste to reduce overflow and, once full, alert the city through a messaging system that the bins can be emptied. It is grant funds like these from CalRecycle that make purchasing new and innovative waste solutions a possibility in Davis and throughout the state. ',
'Each year, CalRecycle, a department within the California Environmental Protection Agency that oversees waste handling and recycling programs, is able to award grants to hundreds of public and private entities throughout the state. ',
'According to the CalRecycle',

'Gilbert said that in the future, if the recycling program receives more grant money, they will allocate more funds toward dedicated outreach. ',
'Members of the campus community are also working hard to address waste reduction and waste production. The Waste Reduction and Recycling program, coordinated through the Office of Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability, wants to help the campus reach its zero waste goal of diverting trash from landfills by 2020.

u'The controversial executive order, titled \u201cEnhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States,\u201d was met with immediate opposition. Many sanctuary cities have publicly stated that they will not change their policies.',
'The City of Davis has been a sanctuary city',

u'\u201cThe police will not ask, seek to know, or record someone\u2019s [immigration] status in any interaction [\u2026] This is something that we\u2019ve done, as many other cities have, to encourage trust in the police so that if something happens to someone, they\u2019re not fearful of contacting the police,\u201d Davis said. \xa0',

u'Jessica Angel-Gonzalez, a fifth-year animal science major at UC Davis, agrees with Davis\u2019 stance on sanctuary city policies. She does not believe that anyone should be questioned about their immigration status by police if they are not breaking the law.',

'The undocumented individual had multiple arrest warrants, and his AB #60 application prompted Immigration and Customs Enforcement to arrest him at his home a few days later.',

{'author': 'Burrowing Owl Preservation Society sues City of Davis for improper assessment of environmental impact of Marriott hotel',
'text': ['The Burrowing Owl Preservation Society (BOPS), which aims to educate the public and support conservation efforts for our feathered friends, filed a lawsuit on Jan. 5 against the City of Davis for its insufficient report on the environmental implications of the Marriott Residence Inn building site.',
'A pair of burrowing owls lives on the vacant plot of land located on Fermi Place, near the Mace Boulevard and 2nd Street intersection in East Davis. The hotel, which plans to break ground this fall, will stand four-stories tall with 120 rooms, a meeting room and other amenities; however, the burrowing owls will no longer have a place to reside once the project beings.',
'In 2007, BOPS conducted a study that counted 63 breeding pairs of burrowing owls in Yolo County. In 2014, a census calculated that the estimated population declined to 15 breeding pairs. This sharp decline was attributed to a loss of habitats, a presence of predators and the California drought.',
'Burrowing owls were once extensively dispersed and were considered common birds but they have substantially dwindled down in the past half century. Now the population stands as a State Species of Special Concern and a Federal Bird of Conservation Concern.',
'Janet Foley, a ',
'professor of medicine and epidemiology at the School of Veterinary Medicine, works as a board member for the BOPS. Foley hopes to create a dialogue between conservationists, the City of Davis and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to protect these owls, which can then be a model for better protection for birds statewide.',
u'\u201cIn Davis, virtually every spot that used to have owls has no owls,\u201d Foley said. ',
'\n',
u'\u201cThis is in my backyard and I feel that this city presents itself as environmentally friendly. I think it\u2019s really important in a university town that it is environmentally friendly and we take care of one of our most endangered resources.\u201d',
'Attorney Dan Mooney is representing BOPS for this case. BOPS alleges the council inaccurately concluded that the construction of the hotel would not have a substantial effect on the environment despite the abundant evidence that proves otherwise.',
u'The complaint called into question the city council\u2019s decision to approve a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Marriott property. An MND states that an initial study yielded no significant impact on the environment and that certain mitigations will reduce or eliminate the implications of the project; no further studies are needed. It assesses whether there may be a slight impact on the surrounding habitat but certain mitigations lessen or eradicate the aftereffects to less than significant, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).',
u'\u201cWe are not opposed to the hotel,\u201d said Catherine Portman, the BOPS president. \u201cOur issue is not with the developer or the builder. Our issue is with the City of Davis certifying an MND as an adequate level of CEQA review when there are burrowing owls on the property. They should not count eviction as mitigation.\u201d',
u'BOPS decided to take legal action to call attention to the shortcomings of CEQA and of Davis\u2019 leadership. The council\u2019s MND called for \u201cpassive relocation\u201d of the fowl. BOPS strongly opposed this mitigation and explained that this method evicts the owls from their burrows, which the CDFW still allows and routinely practices.',
u'\u201cPassive relocation\u201d involves installing one-way doors on the burrows, which provide owls with shelter year-round. Once the owls leave the burrow, they cannot return. The owls are often harmed through the repercussions of this forced removal and may not always find new places to burrow due to existing developments, much like in the case of the pair at Fermi Place. ',
u'\u201cCity council made a statement on Tuesday night (Jan. 24) at the council meeting\u2026[that] the council believes the city went beyond what is legally required in mitigating the impact of the project on burrowing owls,\u201d said Katherine Hess, a Davis community development administrator. \u201cWe believe that petitioners should take their concerns to [CDFW] since they are the regulating agency and the city must comply with Fish and Wildlife requirements.\u201d'],

'text': ['After five years of providing business to students and locals of Davis, the Whole Foods Market on 1st Street closed on Sunday, Feb. 12. The Davis location was one of nine Whole Foods Markets across the country to permanently close.',
u'The Whole Foods Market in Davis was located in a small shopping center along with several other eateries. The closure was part of an evaluation nationwide to determine which Whole Food\u2019s locations were underperforming. The local market faced competition from other supermarkets and stores in the city, such as Safeway, Trader Joe\u2019s and the Davis Food Co-op. Whole Foods markets itself on its organic food that does not use artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, sweeteners or hydrogenated fats. Although this is a healthy benefit, many students could not afford the price tag associated with the products.',
u'\u201cI think it affects students for the most part,\u201d said John Tuquero, a Verizon Wireless employee in the shopping center in which Whole Foods was located.',
'Despite the fact that not all students or residents could afford the prices at Whole Foods, the store was a common location for students to grab a bite to eat while studying. ',
u'\u201cIt saddens me that Whole Foods is closing because it\u2019s not just a grocery store, but also an outing where people can connect together,\u201d said Forrest Pasturel, a first-year environmental policy and analysis major and former employee at the Whole Foods in Los Altos. \u201cIt was at a very convenient spot, and would have been near my future apartment.\u201d ',
'However, others argue that people would go to Whole Foods but not actually purchase enough for the company to make a profit.',
u'\u201cThat\u2019s why it closed down \u2013\u2013 people used [Whole Foods] as a hang out spot and not to purchase,\u201d said Mike Silva, another Verizon Wireless store employee. \u201c[Whole Foods closing] also provides more opportunity for local stores, like Trader Joe\u2019s, to grow.\u201d',
'Davis students, employers and residents are wondering what will move into the place of the Whole Foods on the Fulcrum Property. ',
u'\u201cI\u2019d love to have something in there that would generate sales tax revenue for the city \u2013\u2013 it\u2019s something that we critically need,\u201d said Mayor Robb Davis.',
'And, while some are hoping for an Apple store or another big corporate company, others want to keep the small-town college vibe by supporting smaller, locally-owned businesses. No matter what the market is replaced with, the closing of Whole Foods will have a lasting impact on the Davis community as a whole.',
u'\u201cIt just feels out of place, not having a Whole Foods in Davis,\u201d Pasturel said.'],

u'Those not in support of Planned Parenthood were also present at the Woodland event, though significantly fewer in number. Californians for Life, a social justice organization that fights to end abortion in the state, sponsored the protest Planned Parenthood event in Woodland.

The state hopes to return the property taxes to public agencies within Davis, such as the ',
'Davis Joint Unified School District',
' or Yolo County services. ',
'California has distributed money to revitalizing broken-down cities, and, while some cities desperately needed the funds, cities like Davis used them for less dire projects. The city chose to invest in properties like the Historic City Hall, the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame, the Dresbach-Hunt Boyer Mansion and the parking garage above the Regal Holiday Cinema.',
u'\u201cThe state wanted [the money given to the cities by the RDA] back so we are complying with the state\u2019s orders,\u201d said Brett Lee, Davis city councilmember. \u201cWe are going to put it out on the open market and see who bids for it.\u201d',
'The state looked through all of the properties that stemmed from finances provided by the RDA and allowed for cities to retain ownership of properties that still serve public and/or government use. ',
u'Davis\u2019 Historic City Hall, however, now houses a restaurant and bar, which does not necessarily serve any type of public service. As a result, the state now requires that Davis put the property on the open market.',
u'\u201cDavis has initiated the early stages of marketing for its historic city hall,\u201d said Stacey Winton, a City of Davis media and communications officer. \u201cLocated at 226 F. St., the vacant building has not been used for city affairs but contains a restaurant, Bistro 33, in both the building and outside patio. ',
'Despite losing ownership of the property, the city will gain access to bond funds from the state once it is sold. Once the real estate has been dissolved, the city will also receive 21 percent of the proceeds, with 33.5 percent going to ',
'the Davis Joint Unified School District, 25 percent to the county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund and the remainder to be dispersed among various organizations like the Yolo County Library and the Davis Cemetery District.',
'That process is now underway with the city looking to hire a commercial broker by this spring. ',
u'While the new owner will gain rights to the property, the building is deemed a historical landmark. Therefore, no major structural changes can be made without first consulting the council and the city\u2019s Historic Resource Management Commission.',
u'While there hasn\u2019t been an official appraisal of the property, the council estimates its value to be about $2.3 million. This number is too high for the City of Davis to consider investing in the property, according to city officials. ',
u'Mayor Robb Davis noted that the city will not seek to obtain the building. Although the decision and process has been difficult for the city, there are limited options. The building will remain in the public sphere and will continue to be valued as a historical space and part of the city\u2019s history. ',
u'\u201cWe have to demonstrate to the state that we are maximizing revenue from that sale,\u201d Davis said. \u201cIt would be difficult for us to demonstrate that we are purchasing it at market [value] if we get it at a rate that we can potentially afford so we are unanimous in saying that it should be sold at market rate.\u201d'],

'text': [u'Who said that Valentine\u2019s Day is limited to young lovers? This Valentine\u2019s Day, the Davis Cemetery District will allow friends and family to place orders for potted plants to put on the graves of those who are buried there. ',
'The fundraiser is a part of a project to continue caring for and restoring the historic community cemetery located at 820 Pole Line Road. ',
'Ashley Wilson*, a Davis resident whose grandfather is buried at the cemetery, said that she thinks the fundraiser will welcome families to continue thinking of their loved ones and keep them from forgetting about them. ',
u'\u201cI like the idea of the fundraiser,\u201d Wilson said. \xa0\u201cI think it\u2019s a warm gesture. I know for me it reminds me of how much my grandfather liked to give us roses on Valentine\u2019s Day when I was younger.\u201d',
u'Each flowerpot will cost $15 or loved ones can purchase two for $20. On Valentine\u2019s Day, staff will place the flowerpots on the gravesites. The flower arrangements themselves will follow the traditional color of Valentine\u2019s Day \u2014 red. ',
u'\u201cEach arrangement will feature vibrant Bellisima Red English daisy in a beautiful environmentally friendly four-inch Ecoform pot. These cheerful seasonal blooms will be a symbol of friendship and affection for those who cannot be with us during this season of love,\u201d said representatives of the Davis Cemetery in a ',
'.',
u'Since 1855, the Davis Cemetery District has provided a space to honor those who have passed. They now have one of California\u2019s newest arboretums which features over 150 species of native and adapted plants in California. The plants are specifically suited to bear the climate of Yolo County. The cemetery also features Gallery 1855, an art gallery located on the grounds. ',
'According to the Davis Cemetery District and Arboretum ',
u', the art gallery is \u201cone of the finest premier art galleries in Northern California, featuring monthly shows by international, national, regional and local artists.\u201d',
u'This Valentine\u2019s Day, make it a goal to spend time not only with that special someone, friends, family or whomever it might be, but also to remember those who have passed. ',

{'author': u'Davis Sunrise Rotary Club grant benefits Alzheimer\u2019s patients at Yolo Hospice',
'text': ['After years of planning and working to obtain the necessary funding, Yolo Hospice received a $1,500 grant from the Davis Sunrise Rotary Club, enabling it to become a Music & Memory Care Certified Organization. This distinction allows Yolo Hospice to provide its patients with iPods and music. ',
u' have shown that patients with Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia who listen to music are more likely to retain their memories.',
'In order to become a Music & Memory Care Certified Organization, a pre-certification webinar must be watched. The cost for one year of certification plus five iPods is $1,000. However, there are various other costs associated with the program other than the initial amount. Yolo Hospice asked its volunteers to look for funding through donors, and it ended up obtaining $1,500 from the Davis Sunrise Rotary Club.',
u'\u201cThe grant was wonderful and very generous,\u201d said Sheryl Mahoney, a marketing and communications specialist at Yolo Hospice. \u201cIt does not cover the total cost of the program, however. We are a nonprofit, and this relies on philanthropic support.\u201d',
u'Patients with Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia are given a playlist, tailored to their individual personalities and based upon their past. Family members and friends are asked to determine the music style, since the genre of music doesn\u2019t affect patients\u2019 ability to recall information; rather, the music should be something that each person can personally connect with on a deeper level. Each patient is then given two playlists, one calming and one upbeat, with 10 to 15 songs each from iTunes.',
u'\u201cYou figure out an individual\u2019s specific likes of their music, so their favorite song and the memories about the pieces of music, not necessarily the genre,\u201d said Nancy Johnston, the social work and spiritual care manager at Yolo Hospice. \u201cIt\u2019s more about them connecting to their past in their music.\u201d',
u'Although music isn\u2019t said to be a complete cure for Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia, it does help \xa0bring some of the patients\u2019 memories back for the time being.',
u'\u201c[Patients are] encouraged to use iPods before bathing or bed,\u201d Johnston said. \u201cMedication is used less and music is used more, because music is more effective. Music is one of the major contributors to the quality of life.\u201d ',
u'The Music & Memory Care Certified Organization has proven to be beneficial for the Yolo Hospice in aiding those with Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia.',
u'\u201cAlive Inside\u201d is a documentary by Dan Cohen, founder of Music & Memory, in which he tries to prove that, through music, people can regain some of their past memories and rediscover a part of themselves. This commended cinematic piece was shown at the 2014 Sundance Music Festival and won the Audience Award. ',
'There will be a local event in the spring showing this documentary, and all are encouraged to attend to learn more about the organization. Yolo Hospice is also looking for additional ',
', whether they are in the form of new or gently used iPods or monetary contributions.',
u'\u201cThe program guides caregivers to create personalized playlists on iPods,\u201d said Elena Siegel, an associate professor at the UC Davis Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing. \u201cThese personalized playlists can be used to help residents with Alzheimer\u2019s, dementia and other cognitive and physical challenges reengage and reconnect with their world through familiar music-triggered memories.\u201d'],

{'author': 'Burrowing Owl Preservation Society sues City of Davis for improper assessment of environmental impact of Marriott hotel',
'text': ['The Burrowing Owl Preservation Society (BOPS), which aims to educate the public and support conservation efforts for our feathered friends, filed a lawsuit on Jan. 5 against the City of Davis for its insufficient report on the environmental implications of the Marriott Residence Inn building site.',
'A pair of burrowing owls lives on the vacant plot of land located on Fermi Place, near the Mace Boulevard and 2nd Street intersection in East Davis. The hotel, which plans to break ground this fall, will stand four-stories tall with 120 rooms, a meeting room and other amenities; however, the burrowing owls will no longer have a place to reside once the project beings.',
'In 2007, BOPS conducted a study that counted 63 breeding pairs of burrowing owls in Yolo County. In 2014, a census calculated that the estimated population declined to 15 breeding pairs. This sharp decline was attributed to a loss of habitats, a presence of predators and the California drought.',
'Burrowing owls were once extensively dispersed and were considered common birds but they have substantially dwindled down in the past half century. Now the population stands as a State Species of Special Concern and a Federal Bird of Conservation Concern.',
'Janet Foley, a ',
'professor of medicine and epidemiology at the School of Veterinary Medicine, works as a board member for the BOPS. Foley hopes to create a dialogue between conservationists, the City of Davis and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to protect these owls, which can then be a model for better protection for birds statewide.',
u'\u201cIn Davis, virtually every spot that used to have owls has no owls,\u201d Foley said. ',
'\n',
u'\u201cThis is in my backyard and I feel that this city presents itself as environmentally friendly. I think it\u2019s really important in a university town that it is environmentally friendly and we take care of one of our most endangered resources.\u201d',
'Attorney Dan Mooney is representing BOPS for this case. BOPS alleges the council inaccurately concluded that the construction of the hotel would not have a substantial effect on the environment despite the abundant evidence that proves otherwise.',
u'The complaint called into question the city council\u2019s decision to approve a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Marriott property. An MND states that an initial study yielded no significant impact on the environment and that certain mitigations will reduce or eliminate the implications of the project; no further studies are needed. It assesses whether there may be a slight impact on the surrounding habitat but certain mitigations lessen or eradicate the aftereffects to less than significant, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).',
u'\u201cWe are not opposed to the hotel,\u201d said Catherine Portman, the BOPS president. \u201cOur issue is not with the developer or the builder. Our issue is with the City of Davis certifying an MND as an adequate level of CEQA review when there are burrowing owls on the property. They should not count eviction as mitigation.\u201d',
u'BOPS decided to take legal action to call attention to the shortcomings of CEQA and of Davis\u2019 leadership. The council\u2019s MND called for \u201cpassive relocation\u201d of the fowl. BOPS strongly opposed this mitigation and explained that this method evicts the owls from their burrows, which the CDFW still allows and routinely practices.',
u'\u201cPassive relocation\u201d involves installing one-way doors on the burrows, which provide owls with shelter year-round. Once the owls leave the burrow, they cannot return. The owls are often harmed through the repercussions of this forced removal and may not always find new places to burrow due to existing developments, much like in the case of the pair at Fermi Place. ',
u'\u201cCity council made a statement on Tuesday night (Jan. 24) at the council meeting\u2026[that] the council believes the city went beyond what is legally required in mitigating the impact of the project on burrowing owls,\u201d said Katherine Hess, a Davis community development administrator. \u201cWe believe that petitioners should take their concerns to [CDFW] since they are the regulating agency and the city must comply with Fish and Wildlife requirements.\u201d'],

'The 23rd annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration was presented by the Davis Human Relations Commision and the City of Davis.',
u'According to its website, the Davis Human Relations Commission works to \u201cbuild a community where relationship among diverse peoples are valued by all, discrimination and hate are not tolerated, the voices of the voiceless are heard.\u201d \xa0',
'Members from all over the Davis community were invited to gather for this annual event. The festivities began at the Varsity Theater located in downtown Davis, where Mayor Robb Davis welcomed the community to the event.',
u'\u201cIt\u2019s an honor for us as a city to be able to host people from Davis and beyond to this event,\u201d Davis said.',
u'A keynote address was presented by Garth Lewis, an educator for the past 22 years and assistant superintendent of instructional services for the Yolo County Office of Education. \xa0',
u'In his keynote address, Lewis highlighted Dr. King\u2019s beliefs in light of the bigotry seen in today\u2019s political environment.',
u'\u201cToday\u2019s theme, [Justice Everywhere:] Speaking Up for JUSTICE in a Climate of Intolerance, is a very appropriate call to action,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cFor, when freedom and justice are taken for granted, they are threatened. These basic human rights are vulnerable to be abused by those with power with impunity. In the words of Dr. King, \u2018Injustice anywhere, is a threat to justice everywhere.\u2019\u201d',
u'Readings from the Parents of African American Children Davis Group and music by Marque Cass, Aleta Simone and the Davis Freedom Singers were also featured at the event. The event closed with the Davis Freedom Singers leading attendees in a symbolic \u201cFreedom March\u201d through downtown Davis, ending at the E Street Plaza. Participants performed classic peace and freedom songs throughout the concluding march.',

Exercise 1.4. Use the Aggie corpus to answer the following questions. Use plots to support your analysis.
What topics does the Aggie cover the most? Do city articles typically cover different topics than campus articles?
What are the titles of the top 3 pairs of most similar articles? Examine each pair of articles. What words do they have in common?
Do you think this corpus is representative of the Aggie? Why or why not? What kinds of inference can this corpus support? Explain your reasoning.
Hints:
The nltk book and scikit-learn documentation may be helpful here.
You can determine whether city articles are "near" campus articles from the similarity matrix or with k-nearest neighbors.
If you want, you can use the wordcloud package to plot a word cloud. To install the package, run
conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/amueller wordcloudin a terminal. Word clouds look nice and are easy to read, but are less precise than bar plots.

Additionally, this Amendment creates a Judicial Council Oversight Committee. This Committee, comprised of ASUCD officials from each branch of government, would maintain the power to either concur with or overrule the Judicial Council\\u2019s ruling.\\u201d', '\\n', 'The JCOC, which would have the power to overturn decisions by the Judicial Court by a two-thirds majority, would have consisted of three voting members, the ASUCD vice president, the chair of the Judicial Council and the chair of the IAC.

Especially as 2/3 of the JCOC are members of the Executive and Legislative Branches, who both historically have been opposed to judicial rulings.\\u201d', '\\n', 'In an email interview, Lee described the unnecessary nature of having the final word be given to the branches who originally write the legislation before sending them to a judicial board.', '\\n', u'\\u201cAllowing members of the Legislative and Executive to overturn Judicial rulings as the last appellate power is not only redundant but defeats the very purpose of Judicial Review,\\u201d Lee said. \\u201cWhat is the point of having another branch to check the other two if the original two (who first saw the legislation [IAC] and later at the vote and signing [VP]) can just reinforce their original will? It makes no sense to me that there is a mechanism for which the two other branches can just reassert their will. JCOC is the highest appellate power and thus the last word. So it makes no sense for the two branches to have the first and last word if you are seeking to have judicial checks. There definitely is an imbalance of power and renders the Judicial Council a useless piece of our already over-bloated ASUCD bureaucracy. If Judicial Council is to be created, it needs to be able to stand on its own two feet and not be rendered useless from the get go.\\u201d', '\\n', 'Molodanof, who voted against the amendment, said that the significant inclusion of members from the other ASUCD branches in the JCOC did not create adequate representation for the student body.', '\\n', u'\\u201cBasically, I didn\\u2019t agree with the JCOC portion of the bill, which is an appeals committee,\\u201d Molodanof said via email. \\u201cI wanted more student representation from the judicial board to be a part of the appeals team or to not have one at all. I didn\\u2019t like how other branches would have a say in appealing a vote by the judicial board (especially since the judicial board\\u2019s job is to act as a check). It didn\\u2019t really make sense to me that it could just be overturned by the majority of people from another ASUCD branch (exec and legislative).\\u201d', '\\n', u'Lee said that since the dissolution of ASUCD\\u2019s judicial branch in the fall of 2016, concerns have been expressed to the Senate and administration over the need for judicial review. Since the Senate did not convene on Feb. 16, in solidarity with A Day Without Immigrants, the amendment will not be up for a vote on the winter ballot. According to Lee, Flores has stated that he will urge the next president to call for a special election in an effort to create a new judicial branch.']['Senate candidate Zaki Shaheen chose to publicly withdraw from the race during the ASUCD ', ' on Feb. 21.

In 2014, a census calculated that the estimated population declined to 15 breeding pairs. This sharp decline was attributed to a loss of habitats, a presence of predators and the California drought.', 'Burrowing owls were once extensively dispersed and were considered common birds but they have substantially dwindled down in the past half century.

The plants are specifically suited to bear the climate of Yolo County. The cemetery also features Gallery 1855, an art gallery located on the grounds.

This distinction allows Yolo Hospice to provide its patients with iPods and music. ', u' have shown that patients with Alzheimer\\u2019s or dementia who listen to music are more likely to retain their memories.', 'In order to become a Music & Memory Care Certified Organization, a pre-certification webinar must be watched. The cost for one year of certification plus five iPods is $1,000. However, there are various other costs associated with the program other than the initial amount. Yolo Hospice asked its volunteers to look for funding through donors, and it ended up obtaining $1,500 from the Davis Sunrise Rotary Club.', u'\\u201cThe grant was wonderful and very generous,\\u201d said Sheryl Mahoney, a marketing and communications specialist at Yolo Hospice. \\u201cIt does not cover the total cost of the program, however. We are a nonprofit, and this relies on philanthropic support.\\u201d', u'Patients with Alzheimer\\u2019s or dementia are given a playlist, tailored to their individual personalities and based upon their past. Family members and friends are asked to determine the music style, since the genre of music doesn\\u2019t affect patients\\u2019 ability to recall information; rather, the music should be something that each person can personally connect with on a deeper level. Each patient is then given two playlists, one calming and one upbeat, with 10 to 15 songs each from iTunes.', u'\\u201cYou figure out an individual\\u2019s specific likes of their music, so their favorite song and the memories about the pieces of music, not necessarily the genre,\\u201d said Nancy Johnston, the social work and spiritual care manager at Yolo Hospice. \\u201cIt\\u2019s more about them connecting to their past in their music.\\u201d', u'Although music isn\\u2019t said to be a complete cure for Alzheimer\\u2019s or dementia, it does help \\xa0bring some of the patients\\u2019 memories back for the time being.', u'\\u201c[Patients are] encouraged to use iPods before bathing or bed,\\u201d Johnston said. \\u201cMedication is used less and music is used more, because music is more effective. Music is one of the major contributors to the quality of life.\\u201d ', u'The Music & Memory Care Certified Organization has proven to be beneficial for the Yolo Hospice in aiding those with Alzheimer\\u2019s or dementia.', u'\\u201cAlive Inside\\u201d is a documentary by Dan Cohen, founder of Music & Memory, in which he tries to prove that, through music, people can regain some of their past memories and rediscover a part of themselves.

Yolo Hospice is also looking for additional ', ', whether they are in the form of new or gently used iPods or monetary contributions.', u'\\u201cThe program guides caregivers to create personalized playlists on iPods,\\u201d said Elena Siegel, an associate professor at the UC Davis Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing. \\u201cThese personalized playlists can be used to help residents with Alzheimer\\u2019s, dementia and other cognitive and physical challenges reengage and reconnect with their world through familiar music-triggered memories.\\u201d']['Jan. 22', u'\\u201cFemale was running around complex screaming.\\u201d', u'\\u201cLandscapers on site using leaf blowers for the past several mins.\\u201d', 'Jan. 23', u'\\u201c4th time alarm gone off since midnight.\\u201d\\xa0', 'Jan. 24', u'\\u201cDog running in traffic, husky puppy.\\u201d', 'Jan. 25', u'\\u201cOn the top floor east side, grey Toyota Corolla taking up two spaces.\\u201d', 'Jan. 26', u'\\u201c3 hrs ago nonclient male came into business, was extremely agitated and left a note for the reporting party advising that he was possessed and was requiring that reporting party stop harassing him.\\u201d', 'Jan. 28', u'\\u201cVehicle was temporarily parked in handicap spot with a placard, but reporting party believes driver was not handicap.\\u201d']['The Burrowing Owl Preservation Society (BOPS), which aims to educate the public and support conservation efforts for our feathered friends, filed a lawsuit on Jan. 5 against the City of Davis for its insufficient report on the environmental implications of the Marriott Residence Inn building site.', 'A pair of burrowing owls lives on the vacant plot of land located on Fermi Place, near the Mace Boulevard and 2nd Street intersection in East Davis. The hotel, which plans to break ground this fall, will stand four-stories tall with 120 rooms, a meeting room and other amenities; however, the burrowing owls will no longer have a place to reside once the project beings.', 'In 2007, BOPS conducted a study that counted 63 breeding pairs of burrowing owls in Yolo County. In 2014, a census calculated that the estimated population declined to 15 breeding pairs. This sharp decline was attributed to a loss of habitats, a presence of predators and the California drought.', 'Burrowing owls were once extensively dispersed and were considered common birds but they have substantially dwindled down in the past half century. Now the population stands as a State Species of Special Concern and a Federal Bird of Conservation Concern.', 'Janet Foley, a ', 'professor of medicine and epidemiology at the School of Veterinary Medicine, works as a board member for the BOPS. Foley hopes to create a dialogue between conservationists, the City of Davis and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to protect these owls, which can then be a model for better protection for birds statewide.', u'\\u201cIn Davis, virtually every spot that used to have owls has no owls,\\u201d Foley said. ', '\\n', u'\\u201cThis is in my backyard and I feel that this city presents itself as environmentally friendly. I think it\\u2019s really important in a university town that it is environmentally friendly and we take care of one of our most endangered resources.\\u201d', 'Attorney Dan Mooney is representing BOPS for this case. BOPS alleges the council inaccurately concluded that the construction of the hotel would not have a substantial effect on the environment despite the abundant evidence that proves otherwise.', u'The complaint called into question the city council\\u2019s decision to approve a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Marriott property. An MND states that an initial study yielded no significant impact on the environment and that certain mitigations will reduce or eliminate the implications of the project; no further studies are needed. It assesses whether there may be a slight impact on the surrounding habitat but certain mitigations lessen or eradicate the aftereffects to less than significant, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).', u'\\u201cWe are not opposed to the hotel,\\u201d said Catherine Portman, the BOPS president. \\u201cOur issue is not with the developer or the builder. Our issue is with the City of Davis certifying an MND as an adequate level of CEQA review when there are burrowing owls on the property. They should not count eviction as mitigation.\\u201d', u'BOPS decided to take legal action to call attention to the shortcomings of CEQA and of Davis\\u2019 leadership. The council\\u2019s MND called for \\u201cpassive relocation\\u201d of the fowl. BOPS strongly opposed this mitigation and explained that this method evicts the owls from their burrows, which the CDFW still allows and routinely practices.', u'\\u201cPassive relocation\\u201d involves installing one-way doors on the burrows, which provide owls with shelter year-round. Once the owls leave the burrow, they cannot return. The owls are often harmed through the repercussions of this forced removal and may not always find new places to burrow due to existing developments, much like in the case of the pair at Fermi Place. ', u'\\u201cCity council made a statement on Tuesday night (Jan. 24) at the council meeting\\u2026[that] the council believes the city went beyond what is legally required in mitigating the impact of the project on burrowing owls,\\u201d said Katherine Hess, a Davis community development administrator. \\u201cWe believe that petitioners should take their concerns to [CDFW] since they are the regulating agency and the city must comply with Fish and Wildlife requirements.\\u201d']['On the morning of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Jan. 16, the City of Davis gathered to celebrate the life and accomplishments of Dr. King. ', 'The 23rd annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration was presented by the Davis Human Relations Commision and the City of Davis.', u'According to its website, the Davis Human Relations Commission works to \\u201cbuild a community where relationship among diverse peoples are valued by all, discrimination and hate are not tolerated, the voices of the voiceless are heard.\\u201d \\xa0', 'Members from all over the Davis community were invited to gather for this annual event. The festivities began at the Varsity Theater located in downtown Davis, where Mayor Robb Davis welcomed the community to the event.', u'\\u201cIt\\u2019s an honor for us as a city to be able to host people from Davis and beyond to this event,\\u201d Davis said.', u'A keynote address was presented by Garth Lewis, an educator for the past 22 years and assistant superintendent of instructional services for the Yolo County Office of Education. \\xa0', u'In his keynote address, Lewis highlighted Dr. King\\u2019s beliefs in light of the bigotry seen in today\\u2019s political environment.', u'\\u201cToday\\u2019s theme, [Justice Everywhere:] Speaking Up for JUSTICE in a Climate of Intolerance, is a very appropriate call to action,\\u201d Lewis said. \\u201cFor, when freedom and justice are taken for granted, they are threatened. These basic human rights are vulnerable to be abused by those with power with impunity. In the words of Dr. King, \\u2018Injustice anywhere, is a threat to justice everywhere.\\u2019\\u201d', u'Readings from the Parents of African American Children Davis Group and music by Marque Cass, Aleta Simone and the Davis Freedom Singers were also featured at the event. The event closed with the Davis Freedom Singers leading attendees in a symbolic \\u201cFreedom March\\u201d through downtown Davis, ending at the E Street Plaza.

City news discusses quite frequently investigations that are happening within the town of Davis. I find it interesting that the bigram in the campus news page with the highest score is "name changed". It also appears that the city news page covers a lot of activity from the Davis city council. However the list is too long to see the full range of words and the corresponding frequency of the words. It appears that words such as "roommate", "dorm" appear more in the campus news articles, than in the city new articles which discusses "whole foods closing".

No. I found the frequency of names within the tokens in the text to be misleading of the actual text. Perhaps my code was just awful, but I found it difficult to see a lot of similarity between the texts of both the campus news and city news, as well as within the titles. I think to find 'similarity' it would have been helpful to implement a thesaures, and somehow anaylze the words from the text based off of the thesaures, then compare and contrast in the campus and city news. Also, I think it is hard to deter a difference between the campus and city news because this is a college town and the city revolves around the university, many of the topics will overlap between them making it hard to differentiate from them sometimes. Overall, I think the Aggie would require quite a bit of cleaning to be used as a 'true' corpus, one of these acts would require all the names mentioned in the article to be removed.
