Crossing a street in San Francisco should never be a life or death decision. Yet people young and old do just that. Risk their lives because drivers either dont know the law, or just dont care. This is mark gamble, sorry make that sgt mark gamble of the San Francisco police department. Sgt. Gamble risks his life crossing dangerous intersections around San Francisco so you wont have to. This is a crosswalk sting set up on geary. All mark does is simply cross the street to see if the drivers will yield to him. Some do, but more than often some dont. Like the driver of this nissan sentra. You know why youre being stopped . When you crossed the intersection back there, did you see Pedestrian Crossing the street . Whenever someone steps off the curb in an attempt to cross the street at a marked, or unmarked crosswalk, drivers are required to yield to that person will they are in the crosswalk, until they make it across the street. In this case until the person walking makes it to the center divide, then the opposing traffic must stop. During this crosswalk sting more than 110 tickets were issued. Get this in less than three hours. The sad part if sspd, came to the same exact corner tomorrow, and they would probably write 100 more. One important thing to note, when you approach a crosswalk and you see these triangles painted on the street, please stop at the triangles for safety, because even if you stop for pedestrians but by pass the triangles you could be cited.

The highs are barely into the low 70s. Technology may keep us connected but as gave choses we may have to break free. Negative side effect of the digital vices in our life . According to new studies coming out of two different universities all the gadgets in our lives are depriving our brains up muchneeded down time. Scientists of u of m and ucsf are saying that when people keep their brains busy with the digital input they are forfeiting downtime that could allow them to better learn and remember information or come up new ideas. Downtime is very important to the learning process, it lets the brain goal for experiences that it has had solidify them, and turn them into permanent longterm memories. Studies suggest that many of us now have no downtime ever during our day and it is self induced. If we get free time we spend it on our digital life or playing with a gadget, sending text messages, checking email, twitter, facebook, playing videogames, playing with ipods, ipads and smartphones. These gadgets are useful and entertaining but they suck up all of our down time. Research shows that people who sat or take a walk in nature daily while not using a gadget, retained new information easier than those the gadget 247. The bottom line if you are finding it hard learn new things, to concentrate or to memorize, try going 20 minutes a day with no technology at all and give your brain a little down time see if that helps.
