As reported by Reuters on February 7, Bank of America opens branches without employees. That’s right, the bank opened three completely automated branches during the month of January where customers can use ATMs and have video conferences with employees at other branches. What a money saver!!! How many loans to employees will be granted if no one has a job? A laid off Bank of America employee is a poor credit risk. An example here in California of drivers getting gouged could be a $100 traffic t...

My mother, Lillian A Fisher was born in Brooklyn to Polish immigrants on the first day of Spring, March 21, 1922. Much later she lived in Culver City for 61 years. Lillian lived by the same advice she gave others "Everyday accomplish three things: learn something new, have humor, and do a Mitzvah (good deed). And do you know which of these is the most important?", she'd point out "The second one, have humor!", and then she'd tell you a great joke. My mother lived a rich and full life because...
"Your breasts look incredible in that outfit." Inadvisable pickup line, for sure, Dude. That no man should ever say that to a woman he wants to impress is a given. Yet for Paul Linke, somehow that dealbreaker line didn't implode his chances. The result of his 25-year love affair with the woman he had just met is "It's Time," now showing at the Pacific Resident Theatre in Venice. "It's Time" is as much a paean to love, in its way, as is Shah Jahan's Taj Mahal, built in 1643 as his profound love...
Mitch Kupchak learned the General Manager business from Jerry West, then took over. He had good years but not many in his final ones with lowly Laker teams and now he’s been replaced. What about the new guy? First, remember Kupchak was a Laker player and then a general manager. It’s a huge difference that Rob Pelinka was an agent who had Kobe Bryant as a client and now he’s going to work for a team for the first time. It’s a different world. Agents make friends and enemies. When they negotia...

What does it takes to be a good coach in the NHL? Better yet, what does it take to be a great NHL coach? Is it the most wins? Is it the most Stanley Cups won? Or is it a popularity contest among the players?

After regular season games have been played and the playoff positions are set coaches are left to motivate their players through...

We met for six brief Wednesday morning sessions, each jammed with activity: Jan. 18 (center), Jan 25. (center), Feb. 1 (school), Feb. 8 (center),...
Written and directed by Theodore Melfi and co-written by Allison Schroeder, Melfi, based on the book by Margot Lee Shetterly, HIDDEN FIGURES is a "must see" film for every American. This is definitely perfect timing for the release of HIDDEN FIGURES and in fact, should be a double feature with "Jackie", as both take us back to the days of Camelot and the Kennedy administration when America aspired to reach to the moon and the stars beyond, and when a woman showed the world grace and dignity in...
