The Santa Monica Airport Runway shortening project has been halted by a TRO issued by Federal Court. The 100 year old airport is not popular among its neighbors, who say they did not signup for the amount of private planes that take off and land amid the unbelievably overpriced real estate. But the airport has its defenders too. Thus wrote the Santa Monica Airport Association, on its website: "Santa Monica City Council's shameful backroom deal to shorten the runway at the...

By American standards, it is a big problem in a small country. Greenland has the world's highest suicide rate, 50 per year in a population of around 56,000. This yields a suicide rate of nearly 1 per 1000, or 24 times the suicide rate in the US. Greenland sources tell us the country experienced 28 suicides in the first 9 months of 2017. Why do so many young Greenlanders kill themselves? No one knows for sure. Theories include geographical isolation and the cold. We state the p...
On September 20, 2017 at about 3:14 p.m., residents reported a shooting near 20th Street and Pico Blvd. Witnesses said Hector Jehova Bonilla exited an SUV, and got involved in a verbal confrontation with an unidentified victim.

Bonilla was a passenger anyway, so he wasn't eligible for the wall certificate. During the...
Fentanyl, also known as fentanil, is an opioid pain medication with a rapid onset and short duration of action. It also has a high risk of addiction and death. Did the same pain killer that took Prince Rogers Nelson and others from us, also take Tom Petty from us? The Petty Camp have released very little information. Their public statement is merely that he went into "Cardiac Arrest." Everyone who dies, goes into cardiac arrest. We know that Petty gave a concert at the...

Then came Hurricane Irma, a Category 5 storm that was so powerful it sucked up all the water from the ocean in parts of the Bahamas and turned Richard Branson's once luxurious pa...
