Fire besieges Yosemite entrance as blaze rages in Mariposa

A California wildfire near Yosemite National Park has burned over 26 000 acres destroying 12 homes and threatening about 2 000 more. Evacuations affected 195 homes in Midpines and nearby areas as 10 percent contained. Fire started from target-practice sparks and is driven by hot dry weather and winds. Residents stay to defend properties amid heavy smoke and ongoing firefighting efforts.

Miami Ranked Last in Major Cities for Volunteer Rate

The CNCS report places Miami at No 50 with a 14.5 percent volunteer rate in 2007, down from prior years, while noting 620,000 Miami volunteers that year. Nationally 60.8 million Americans volunteered, and the Midwest led with 31.1 percent. Florida, New York, and several cities near the bottom are highlighted, with immigrant demographics cited as a factor in Miami’s low standing.
