If you're a local sports fan, hopefully you had Columbus Day (International Day of Solidarity with Indigenous People, whatever) off to nurse a wicked hangover. In fact, maybe you should take tonight off from Sports Center, too. It's Leif Erikson day. Honest. Even George W. Bush knows that (and don't worry, he's probably not working today, either). Maybe it wasn't the worst, but it was up there. T.J. Simers hit the nail on the...

It's been a busy summer for 'wild and crazy guy' Steve Martin. From writing a children's book with cartoonist Roz Chast, to finishing his memoir Born Standing Up, and getting ready for an August start date for filming the Pink Panther II, he found time to squeeze in a life changing event. After inviting Tom Hanks, Diane Keaton, Eugene Levy, Carl Reiner, Ricky Jay, and about seventy other friends for a party at his Los Angeles home, the guests were surprised with a wedding. Martin married writer and former New Yorker staffer Anne Stringfield. The ceremony was officiated by former Nebraska senator Bob Kerrey. SNL head honcho Lorne Michaels served as the best man. The bride wore Vera Wang while Martin donned his Inspector Clouseau mustache.

There was a time when there was nothing more punk rock in LA than to have imported Dr. Martens boots. Sounds like a paradox, but thus is part of the fun in trying to explain or define punk. In LA the only place where you could get Docs were at Na Na's in Santa Monica, but when the company decided to cut ties with the shoe store after 11 years in order to sell...

I love Mexican food, and really who doesn’t? I’ve met few people who don’t love the flavors of our neighbors to the South. That being said, not everyone likes the same types of Mexican food. By types I don’t mean Tex-Mex or Oaxacan—I mean that there are several different culinary categories of Mexican food to be found here in our fair city. There’s taco truck Mexican food, which on a good day can be...

Back in November we approved Propositions 1A and 1B, bonds that gave $19.9 billion in transportation funding throughout the state. On Friday, California transportation officials recommended cutting more than $1 billion worth of freeway projects sought for Los Angeles County - including funding for a northbound car-pool lane on the San Diego (405) freeway. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and other officials are obviously not pleased and will be asking residents to step it...

The Clippers held up their end of the bargain tonight, dispatching the Denver Nuggets 101-83 for thier first post-season seiries win. LAist says its their first because lets face it, that wasnt the Clippers 30 years ago, that was the Buffalo Braves. Not the same. Nevertheless, this is a huge accomplishment for a team, a franchise, that has searched for respect. They also make it possible for Los Angeles to have two teams meet in the post season for the first time in any major sport.

In LA it's immigration. In France it's a labor law that makes it easy to hire and fire workers 26 and younger. And in England it's all about pensions. England's demonstrations are the largest in 80 years; not including Paris, more than 450,000 took to the streets in France today. Wow. Has everybody seen V for Vendetta?

We have a weather condition! Indeed, it is raining. Don't worry, it won't last.

Quick, where were you 12 years ago today? Here's a hint: at 4:31am, the Northridge Quake hit. The Daily News remembers and looks at new earthquake sensing technologies.

Franklin Avenue spreads the news that a pirate radio station in the San Fernando Valley has folded under the withering eye of the FCC. Was it trying to foment revolution? Was it playing scary anti-establishment rap or punk rock? Actually, no. It was a Hebrew-language station. Well OK, it may have been trying to stir up trouble; our Hebrew skills are limited.

Earlier this week when we were hurting from the evils of drink, we got this advice over and over: exercise. Realizing you may have had a bit of liquor last night -- and keeping in mind that weather may soon make this impossible -- we suggest a series of walking/hiking resources. Because the air might do you good.

Quick. You're designing a public space. You need a focal point, something fun and attention-getting to slap down in the center to take people's attention away from the fact that the entire purpose of your space is to squeeze money out of them. So what's it gonna be?
