The trading deadline is Monday and it’s anyone’s guess if the Dodgers will acquire an established starting pitcher. Yu Darvish, Sonny Gray and a very expensive Justin Verlander are available for the right price. But the Dodgers haven’t been participating in the bidding for an elite starter for a couple of years. They’re proud of their farm system and reluctant to part with their top pitching prospects. Clayton Kershaw has a back injury considered not as bad as the one last season that resulted i...

Peter Budevski was a source of constant help to me as we made "the Terminal" together. –Tom Hanks He was a welcome presence on the set, and was never short of ideas. I hope I have a chance to work with Peter again. -Steven Spielberg Our subconscious is like a deep well that bears the defining features of every single fictitious character one can imagine. The steps of the ladder descending into it are the practical means that great actors use to get access to this unknown world. Once you are f...

A world in which men don't need women? We already have robot floor cleaners; now fake women can do the rest. By the rest, I mean sex. Men, how would you like a sex doll that lets you rape her? Women, how do you feel about that? This could be the ultimate payback on uppity women. I was laughing a lot as I wrote this; yet it could wind up no laughing matter. Roxxxy the Sex Robot is here, and you can rape her if you like. She won't like it, and won't be "appreciative" - but she'll let you. Let...
In April Democratic leaders forced through the state legislature $5.2 billion annually in new and permanent taxes on drivers across California, amounting to the largest gas tax increase in state history. For years the majority party in Sacramento has refused to make our state's aging infrastructure a spending priority. They are laser-focused on raising taxes rather than first considering where reforms and efficiencies can be made with existing resources. However, Californians know they already...

She was born in the small town of Putnam, Connecticut, the sixth child of eight brothers and sisters.

Mike Trout is back and the Angels are in the running for a wild card berth in the playoffs. Who would have thought the Angels could still have a chance when Trout, one of the best players in baseball, had to miss 39 games after damaging a thumb while trying to steal a base. Or when injuries occurred to a whole bunch of teammates. The list is staggering. Pitchers Garrett Richards. C.J. Wilson, Tyler Skaggs, Huston Street, Matt Shoemaker, Andrew Heaney and most recently centerfielder Cameron...

The Los Angeles Rams’ official season starts Saturday, July 29 when their training camp begins at 3 p.m. at the University of California, Irvine campus. This will be the second straight year the Rams have chosen UC Irvine for their training location. Rookies reported to camp last Wednesday and the veterans report on Friday. New coaches and new players will give the 2017 Rams a different look. Last year the team finished with a record of 4-12. Their offense was worse than their record. Rams new head coach Sean McVay hopes to bring a new a...
Rising out of the South Bay oil fields, refineries and miles of landfill sites of the past century the emboldened City of Carson will start celebrating its 50th anniversary in February 2018. Undoubtedly the Los Angeles Chargers who begin playing at Carson's StubHub Center this August for the next three years will be part of the festivities. The scenario seemed highly unlikely on January 12, 2016 when the NFL Los Angeles relocation committee rejected the then-San Diego Charger and Oakland Raider...
Life is never easy even during the best of times, but when the lens zooms in on the African continent during the South Sudanese or Rwandan genocides, Ethopian famine, the West African Ebola crisis or, as is the case with THE LAST FACE, the Liberian civil war, we see what pain, suffering and the horrific brutality of life really is. Then put activist Sean Penn in the director’s chair with a fictional narrative that stars Charlize Theron, Javier Bardem, Jared Harris and Jean Reno, and a social a...
In Georgia WE do have a new Sam’s Club with a gas station. Just recently the price was $2.11 for a gallon of regular. The Rubensteins do prefer Costco but the closest warehouse is over 60 miles away. In the meantime, we are stuck with $2.11. On August 14 the Culver City City Council will have on the agenda a proposal to name the intersection of Culver Blvd and Overland Avenue the Hal Cherness Square. Please go to the Council meeting to voice your support to this most worthy individual who b...
