The decision also calls for the city to consider converting...

Pig Leads Police on Merry Chase The pursuit was short -- but so was the suspect. She had a round belly and pink skin, and her body was covered with short, wiry hairs.

As the Police Department said in a post on its Facebook page: "This doesn't happen every day in Santa Monica." Park rangers and officers searched...

Just a few more weeks and the Lakers' season will be over. No playoffs this time. Of all the negatives that have occurred the one that bothers me the most is the way Pau Gasol hasn't been appreciated. This is one of the top 100 big men ever to play in the NBA, a professional who has had championship seasons here but now is struggling against age and injuries, plus a coach who doesn't want the center to have the ball in the post. Instead of Gasol being celebrated as obviously the Lakers' best...
