Just A Thought – Drug Problem
Just because I am writing about news in Culver City does not mean it’s a good thing that so much of it happens in my neighborhood. When I woke up a few weeks ago to find that I had a lake lapping at my front lawn that was surprising, but both the Public Works department and the water company were fast and efficient in taking care of the mess. The drug dealer in my neighborhood is not really [...]
Homes With Heart – Heather Coombs-Perez
For the past few weeks there’s been an undeniable chill in the air, and I don’t know about you, but I’ve been using my heater to prevent Jack Frost from nipping at my nose. The bad part about this scenario, is that the resultant increase in my gas and electrical bills will make me act like Scrooge! Which got me thinking…we can send a man to the moon, communicate in a “cloud”, and [...]

They reveal a more complicated web of warm fractures than previously thought. Scientists working jointly with Cassini’s composite infrared spectrometer and its high-resolution [...]
Looking Forward – Ted Bellamy
On Being Wrong, the Progressive Dilemma, and Parcel B - Being Wrong by Kathryn Schulz may be the best non-fiction book I've ever read -- certainly the best I've read since i woke up several months ago. Schulz is bogglingly learned, funny, witty, thoughtful, and incapable of writing a boring sentence. Her insights may change the way you look at the world, and at yourself. (More often than [...]
Fresh From the Farm – Katie Malich
I had a request for chicken soup recipes this week. Cold and flu season definitely seems to be with us now. Buy plenty of oranges and citrus as well as dark green and orange vegetables to boost your vitamin and nutrient intake to help ward off whatever is going around. But you don't have to be sick to enjoy a hearty bowl of chicken soup. At times like this, canned soup really doesn't cut [...]

Healthy School Lunches – Maggie Memmott Walsh
More Useful Info, Please - One thing I've been trying to get from the food services department at CCUSD is a listing of the nutritional information for as much of the food served as possible - even just the prepackaged stuff which should come with a label with all of this information already calculated. LAUSD provides this information on a handy-dandy downloadable pdf and I think all parents in [...]
