  • Ravens Slaughter Rams 45-6

    Fred Altieri, Sports Reporter|Nov 28, 2019

    It was clear and ugly... the Los Angeles Rams were disgraced on Monday Night Football by 22-year old superman Lamar Jackson and the high-flying Baltimore Ravens. The 45-6 beatdown at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum was worse than the final score indicated. And of a greater concern... the Rams displayed absolutely zero entertainment value. On paper it was the worst loss in Sean McVay's 43rd regular season game as the Rams' head coach. Earlier this season the team sustained similar whippings at home:...

Coming off a bye, the team has had a week to reflect on what has been a disappointing season to this point. The Chargers have a record of 4-7 and are a long shot to make the playoffs. For a team that was favored by most NFL experts to make the playoffs and by some to go to the Super Bowl, this has been a frustrating season for the Chargers. More than any other issue, injuries have decimated the Chargers....

    1. San Francisco 49ers (10-1): The 49ers have the No.1 ranked defense in the NFL and No.1 passing defense in the NFL.

  • Elimination of Natural Gas Could Cost Consumers

    Nov 28, 2019

    By Jon Switalski Before Culver City rushes headlong into following the City of Berkeley and eliminating natural gas hookups from residential buildings, it should carefully consider the consequences. In particular, for a city so concerned with social justice and equity issues, the economic impact of mandated electrification on its most vulnerable community members could be severe. For consumers, it would almost certainly mean an increase in their utility costs. A study by the consultant firm Navigant underwritten by the California Building...

    By Dr. Suzanne DeBenedittis, PhD The Baldwin Hills/Inglewood Oil Field has been operating over 95 years with countless pipelines with more than 1,400 oil wells.

What’s been done to assure our safety here? The LA County Regional Planning Department, through unnamed reviewers (with ??? qualifications) indicate that “all’s well here.” Their current review of the oil field regulat...

    Sandra Coopersmith|Nov 28, 2019

    I had a dear Chilean friend who, after enjoying a particularly scrumptious meal, would loll back and, with eyes slightly glazed and a blissful expression, invariably say, "guatita llena, corazon contento" (full tummy, happy heart). She would definitely have said that after dining at Allegra California Café, which opened August 16th at 4437 Sepulveda Blvd. in Culver City. This casual, friendly restaurant is aptly named since "Allegra" is not only the first name of one of the owners, Allegra Perez...
