11 NFL Power Rankings - Week 7 1. Los Angeles Rams (7-0) - The Rams face Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Russell Wilson and Patrick Mahomes over the next four weeks. If they come out of that stretch 11-0, only injuries will keep them out of the Super Bowl. Next: vs Green Bay Packers - Sun, Oct. 28 2. Kansas City Chiefs (6-1) - If the Chiefs can improve enough on defense, they could be the team to beat in the AFC. Getting Eric Berry healthy would help and a trade for defensive help would not be a...
The Culver City Public Works Department announced the passing of Mark Crawford, Facilities Maintenance Worker. Mark had been dealing with various medical issues over the past several weeks and he passed away early Sunday morning. Mark's reputation at City Hall was known for his helpful and friendly nature. He was always willing to provide assistance when needed and touched many of lives in the community in that way. I personally will miss my discussions with him in the employee breakroom on...
Can I ask, “With all those millions the developers are spending on construction projects here in Culver City, why do we need to raise taxes?” You don’t need 20/20 vision to imagine City staff pushing gold-plated wheel barrels full of envelopes with big checks for sales-tax and property-tax revenue to the bank. For example, I’ve been spending a lot of hours in Ventura County these past few months, and I discovered that the Thousand Oaks sales tax is a mere 7.5 percent. If Culver City’s Measure C...

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 that is normally associated with the deeply personal experience of first discovering one of your favorite...

The subjects ran into a nearby parking lot where one of the subjects was shot. The victim of the shooting, a male adult, was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

DEAR DAVE: I live in Orange County but read your newspaper on the internet. I put a large American flag on my front-lawn earlier this month to mark Columbus Day but was soon issued a citation from our local Sherriff’s Department that ordered me to remove it because my flag “exceeds local limits.” Isn’t that a violation of my Constitutional Rights of “Freedom of Speech”? ANSWER: Maybe yes, but maybe no. You can probably fly your U.S flag, as I do, on your front lawn or on a metal holder that...
A combination of high home prices and eroding affordability is expected to cut into housing demand and contribute to a weaker housing market in 2019, and 2018 home sales will end this year by registering lower for the first time in four years, according to a housing and economic forecast released last week by the California Association of Realtors. CAR’s “2019 California Housing Market Forecast” sees a modest decline in existing single-family home sales of 3.3 percent next year, to 396,800 units, down from the projected 2018 statewide sales...
Both teams are looking for improvement from last year. If the Clippers can stay healthy, they will surprise a lot of people. They were 5-0 in the preseason although they played overseas teams like the Sydney Kings and the Macabbi Haifa. They did have wins over the Lakers, Minnesota and Denver. Three of the Clippers starting five are set but the other two are still up in the air. Coach Doc Rivers will begin his starting five with guard Patrick Beverly, forward Danilo Gallinari and forward Tobias...

The Cleveland Browns were unbeaten at home in 2018 heading into Sunday’s game with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Browns were 2-0-1 at home and looking like a team that could become a factor in the AFC Central race. They were coming off an impressive division home win over the Baltimore Ravens. That was until the Chargers rolled into Cleveland and crushed their hopes. Behind a running attack that averaged 6.8 yards per carry and gained a total of 246 yards on the ground, the Chargers rolled o...
Last season running back Todd Gurley was the 2017 NFL Offensive Player of the Year, leading the league with 19 touchdowns and the Los Angeles Rams to an 11-5 record. In July, he signed a $60 million contract extension through the 2023 season that now looks like a bargain-basement deal for the undefeated Rams. Thankfully, it was the Todd Gurley Show at Broncos Stadium at Mile High in Denver on a freezing Sunday afternoon, October 13 as the Rams outlasted a fourth quarter rally by the Broncos to w...
