park officials

Facing an $11 million budget gap, San Francisco park officials last week voted to allow long-banned food carts into the city's 200 parks.

A monthly permit costs $1,000 or more, and vendors must prove that their food is "healthful" — a term that is not precisely defined.

State park officials have given nude sunbathers at a secluded southern California beach until Labor Day to work on their all-over tan.

After that, they will have to cover up or face arrest. The new policy follows an appeals court ruling that sided in favor of stricter enforcement.

Nudists say they're considering an appeal to the California Supreme Court.

Rain caused many of the lights to short out Wednesday night and park officials cancelled the attraction.
