With the push of the unelected Los Angeles METRO Boards to encourage bicycle usage of ALL lanes of street travel as a right, I question responsibility that should go with rights. In many cases, responsibility is being forced on vehicles and not required of bicyclists. I'm not going to argue the point of right since that is interrupted as the law; I'm concerned with MY rights and responsibilities as unlicensed bicyclists enter the public right away of the street. Here are a few points I would like to ask about bicyclist's responsibility: -...

The final result was a hardened Culver City squad that held...
In today’s sports section we are running a column by respected local writer Steve Finley, who points out many of Ben Howland’s faults.

Today we know Steve Alford is the new Bruin basketball coach and only time will tell if he’s an improvement. Alford is an Indiana legend because of his sterling playing career with the Hoosiers. But he is not a giant in his profe...
Columnist Points Out Howland’s Flaws When it comes to UCLA basketball, winning games, winning championships and going deep into the NCAA tournament are three different situations. Ben Howland was fired a few weeks after winning the Pac-12 championship. At a lot of schools he would have gotten a contract extension. Not at UCLA. At UCLA no coach will ever live up to John Wooden who won 10 nationals championships. The coach who followed Wooden, the late Gene Bartow, went 52-7 in two years but q...
