Thanks to the power of social media, more animals than ever in Clovis are being saved from certain death.

According to Animal Control Supervisor Marty Martinez, the Clovis shelter allows local animal rescue groups to snap and post photos of the shelters dogs and cats and post them on Facebook.

While adoption numbers ebb and flow through the years, the shelter saw an increase in the number of dogs and cats adopted in the past few years, with 488 total in 2011; 656 in 2012; and 691 last year.

Martinez said social media is the driving force behind the increased number of adoptions at the shelter.

Social media is completely new, its a whole new ball game, he said. Its just using it properly, and thats going to help.

Tami Hamilton, foster director for Hope Defined Animal Rescue, said the organization also sends photos of the animals to its partners in Colorado.

They then come back and say I want that dog, she said. At that point, I come in, I pull the dog and I put it into foster care. We get it fully vetted, minus the spay and neuter, which the other rescue does. Then we do transports every two weeks to Colorado.

Animals taken in and adopted out by Hope Defined are counted in the shelters adoption tally each year.

Appearing at the RNC's winter meeting, Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor and talk show host, lit up social media with his remarks about women's libidos and birth control.

Possible 2016 GOP presidential aspirant Mike Huckabee said in a speech Thursday that Republicans should fight harder to win women's votes. In particular, Huckabee said his party should stress that it doesnt believe women are helpless and hopeless creatures whose only desire is for government-provided birth control.

The former Arkansas governor added that many of the women he knows are intelligent and educated and capable of doing anything a man can do. Then he delivered a shot at Democrats which is lighting up social media like fireworks on July 4th.

Heres the full quote: And if the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it, lets take that discussion all across America, because women are far more than Democrats have made them out to be.

Many on the left took umbrage at the charge that Democrats tell women they should be dependent on big government because they cant control their urges.

It sounds offensive to me, and to women, said White House spokesman Jay Carney when asked about the remarks, which Huckabee made during a luncheon appearance at the Republican National Committees winter meeting.

Near the intersection of Pico Boulevard and La Brea Avenue is a hodgepodge of Los Angeles culture, shared by Lucy's Mexican drive-in restaurant, Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles and an Asian nail salon.

It's now also home to a media upstart with ambitions to reflect the city's ethnic diversity.

Meruelo Media sprang to life 2 1/2 years ago with the acquisition of a pioneering Los Angeles Spanish-language TV station, KWHY Channel 22. Last month, Meruelo agreed to pay $15 million to buy another L.A. fixer-upper, radio station KDAY-FM (93.5).

ON LOCATION: Where the cameras roll

The acquisition has particular appeal for Alex Meruelo, principal of the parent company, Meruelo Group.

The son of Cuban immigrants started his career in the late 1970s running the tuxedo business in his parents' bridal shop on Broadway in downtown L.A., and he knew KDAY during its glory days when it was an early promoter of hip-hop music.

"I grew up listening to KDAY," said Meruelo, 51. "KDAY is part of L.A., and we think it could become a substantial radio station once again."

The station was once identified by its African American audience, but now more than half its listeners are Latino.

The rising importance of U.S. Latinos more than 50 million strong, flexing a spending power that has been estimated at $1.3 trillion a year has attracted media interest. Walt Disney Co., Comcast Corp. and Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox have launched networks in the last 18 months to appeal to young Latinos. By some estimates, 50,000 U.S. Latinos turn 18 every month.

Those media owners are looking to Los Angeles because of the city's large population of Mexicans and Mexican Americans. Those groups make up about two-thirds of the Latinos in the United States.
