11 NFL Power Rankings - Week 8 1. Los Angeles Rams (8-0) - With the trade deadline acquisition of pass rushing specialist Dante Fowler from the Jaguars, the Rams got even better this week. Fowler, the third pick overall in the 2016 NFL draft, will never see a double team with Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh on the line. Next: +1.5 at New Orleans Saints, Sun, Nov. 4 2. Kansas City Chiefs (7-1) - A case can be made that the Chiefs have a top five NFL player at tight end, running back, wide...
Los Angeles Ballet kicked off their 2018-19 season at Royce Hall performing a program with three different scenes called "Modern Moves." Aszure Barton's "Les Chambres des Jacques," Alejandro Cerrudo's "Lickety-Split," and George Balanchine's 1954 classic "Western Symphony." LA Ballet ventured into unchartered waters, taking a road not usually taken by performing more contemporary modern pieces. The first piece is Les Chambres with unconventional choreography and anomalous music -- Vigneault,...
If Culver City is really a city for everyone, as promoted by the October 11th event at La Ballona School then why didn’t Culver City use city owned land at Washington Blvd and Centinela for affordable housing? Instead the city sold this property to a developer who is creating Culver Public Market. This makes no sense. According to the Fox Hills Alliance Fox Hills has over three thousand (3,000) units of housing and over five thousand eight hundred (5,800) residents. Fox Hills has more racial and...
Larry Webb, who grew up in Culver City during the 1960s and '70s before fleeing to picturesque Northwest Oregon, finally came back to L.A.'s Westside this month. He didn't return to stroll our local beaches: The waters near his family's current home in Oregon's capitol of Salem are just as pretty and a whole lot cleaner. He didn't come back here for the air, either, because it's nicer to enjoy the Northwest's fresh breezes rather than choking on L.A.'s smog. And, he certainly didn't return for...
Cathi Vargas, Culver City's environmental coordinator, has won one of the prestigious 2018 "Water Reliability" awards from the West Basin Municipal Water District for her tireless efforts to encourage residents and businesses to conserve the state's most valuable commodity. Culver City West Basin Director Scott Houston, who presented the award to Vargas at the 20th annual Water Harvest Festival on Saturday, cited her remarkable efforts to "enhance the District's relationship with the City by sha...

DEAR DAVE: Is the house that was the setting for “The Amityville Horror” movie still standing? ANSWER: Yes, the three-story Dutch Colonial is still standing in the village of Amityville in the southern part of New York’s Long Island. The Amityville House, of course, is known as the home where 23-year-old Ronald DeFeo Jr. went on his renowned killing spree in 1974 after claiming he was urged to commit the murders of his six family members by disembodied voices. The really strange stuff, thoug...
Millennials Prefer Homes Over Marriage First comes the house and then maybe marriage or children, according to surveyed millennials detailed in Bank of America’s 2018 Homebuyer Insights Report, which was culled from 2,000 consumer responses. The new survey finds that 23- to 40-year-olds value homeownership above nearly everything else: 72 percent call it a “top priority” compared to 50 percent who say getting married or 44 percent who say having children are their top priorities. “Being able to retire,” at 80 percent, was the only goal to t...
By Catherine Hammons A Kid Scoop Media Mentor Correspondent One of the first things I noticed as I approached the Robert Frost Auditorium was the sense of anticipation. It felt as though those of us were in the audience were getting ready to hear the band that defined our youth play. For some, it might have been the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, for others Jimi Hendrix, and still others Pearl Jam or Prince. In other words, there was a sense of shared experience, a feeling of youthful passion...
Two powerful, incorruptible and totally beneficent groups work tirelessly to guide humanity's spiritual evolution and make life on planet Earth habitable: the Masters of Wisdom from our own planet-led by the World Teacher, Maitreya-and our Space Brothers from neighboring planets. Educator Dick Larson will describe how this ongoing inter-planetary collaboration has gone on 'behind the scenes' for millennia, but is now poised to be publicly revealed. Larson will speak at the Culver City Veterans...
Chargers escape London with a Win. The pressure was on and the Los Angeles Chargers needed someone to make a play on defense. The Tennessee Titans had just scored a touchdown with 31 seconds to go, to pull within one point at 20-19. Titans head coach Mike Vrabel had decided to go for a two-point conversion to win the game instead of a game tying extra point kick. Charger safety Adrian Phillips made the big defensive play, deflecting a pass from Titan quarterback Marcus Mariota, the pass falling...
Any thoughts of a ‘trap’ game on the road were quickly dispelled. The Los Angeles Rams remained undefeated as they punished the San Francisco 49ers, 39-10, before a resigned crowd of 66,597 at Levi’s Stadium. The two best players on the field and perhaps in the league were a lethal combination, pummeling the Niners on both sides of the ball. The 49ers were no match for the NFL’s reigning Defensive and Offensive Players of the Year. Aaron Donald led a relentless Ram defense that caused four tu...

The dancers of Diavolo, based in Los Angeles, brought their Architecture in Motion dance performance to the Ahmanson Theatre on Sunday. A spectacular acrobatic-movement spectacle that is the dream of founder and artistic director French native Jacques Heim. It's a combination of contemporary dance, martial arts, acrobatics, gymnastics and hip-hop with the utilization of large, creative stage props. There were two different scenes: Voyage, the west coast premiere, and after intermission,...
