In a region known for romanticizing its roads, the California Incline in Santa Monica has long been a beloved landmark. The road, which connects the beach with the bluffs, affords spectacular coastal views that have made it a subject of postcards and tourist photos for more than a century. The ramp has remained a constant in the beachside city from the days of horse-drawn buggies. But time has taken its toll. Now, after years of delays, the incline is finally about to get a $20-million...
On Tuesday, the Santa Monica City Council unanimously approved a ban on anyone bringing any reptile, bird, or non-human primate into any city park.

It will also prevent veterinarians at the VCA facility near Douglas...

Researchers from UCLA and the National Park Service collaborated on the peer-reviewed article, recently published in the journal Evolutionary Applications. The study shows that even for wide-ranging species such as...
How important are the results in spring training? The popular belief is the results aren't very important since minor leaguers often replace major leaguers in the latter innings of most spring training games. But there's an important test case coming up. You see, the World Series champion San Francisco Giants have been awful this spring in Arizona. They've lost constantly and their championship roster has changed a lot, first with the departure of third baseman Pablo Sandoval through free...

I don't know if it's because I'm getting older or Al Pacino us just getting better, but between his recent tour de force in "The Humbling" and now DANNY COLLINS, I have fallen in love with him as an actor. The nuance that he brings is electrifying and emotionally enticing and fulfilling and never moreso than as DANNY COLLINS. Written and directed by Dan Fogelman, DANNY COLLINS is, as the screen credits playfully note, "Kind of based on a true story a little bit." That true story is a real...

As the NCAA coffers continue to balloon, lawsuits are piling up calling for it to share its...
