Even after all these years playing together, one could tell that they still thoroughly enjoy their partnership. It really is amazing how the duo have endured and have to arguably be one...
Before the LA Kings hockey season started, I heard people saying that two-time, Stanley Cup champion veterans, Anze Kopitar (Captain) and Dustin Brown were too old and too slow to keep up with elite and young players on opposing teams. But they both proved them wrong by coming out of the gate with great energy at the home opener at STAPLES Center and scoring goals. Kopitar scoring three times, giving him a beloved hat trick. Lets not forget the credits and experience these two bring to the...

You know me as Features Writer but I've been an artist since childhood, the first sale of my drawings being in the schoolyard when I was seven. My career in commercial mortgage banking, where I closed loans, dealt with servicing issues and from which I retired 20 years ago, started in the 1960s when I was in my twenties.

Dear Editor, The Culver City Democratic Club has pushed aside mainstream Democrats and is now nothing more than an echo chamber of YIMBYism and white privilege. This was never more evident than the way the Club treated Lynetta McElroy, a powerful African-American housing advocate who attended a recent meeting to speak about how the elimination of R-1 zoning is threatening the African-American community. Club leaders didn't like what she had to say about the negative impacts of SB9 and SB10 on...

It will be the third consecutive "trap" game for the Rams, and like their two previous opponents, the dysfunctional Texans are in the running for the worst...

By Isabel Gonzalez Sports Reporter The Clippers couldn't quite shake off a bad start and had to swallow a 92-79 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers last Wednesday night at the Staples Center. That loss dropped the Clippers to 1-3 to start the season and that includes two home losses. "I thought the flow was nasty for us offensively," said Clipper head coach Tyronn Lue after the game on Wednesday. "I thought we did a lot of over dribbling. We missed shots and I thought we were flat just from the...
