Our kids and grandkids now have improved safeguards from cigarette smoke. Our mothers, sisters, daughters and wives now have better, broader protections from breast cancer. And the wallets of California taxpayers are fatter – by about $500 million annually since 2004.
If there’s any place on Earth for a modern Romeo-and-Juliet story, Israel must top the list: Jews and Arabs, living together yet apart, locked in mutual distrust and in many cases, mutual hatred. Yet here and there, eyes meet, smiles are exchanged, and something happens that makes all the barriers fall.

The Seventh Sense art gallery opens Saturday night in north Redondo Beach with a wide ranging exhibit featuring eight artist and music by folk masters Hang Dog.
“The Seventh Sense is a reference to humanity’s current mass awakening of higher consciousness,” explained owner and artist Sammy Doerr. “Science, as well as a large portion of people everywhere, now believes we create reality with our thoughts. This means our thoughts as well as our creative forces are the pinnacle to future outcomes. Art is a wonderful vehicle for manifesting change in ideal ways. It can also work to reach a shared mass consciousness more quickly.”

Dear ER:
Hermosa Beach City School District’s problems are shared by school districts throughout California [“Hermosa schools mull stark possibilities,” ER Jan. 20, 2011].

At noon, I watched the inauguration of John Kennedy as he gave us the clarion call of our generation. “Ask not,” he exhorted us, “what our country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”
Welcome February. What I consider our last real month of winter surf should start off with some decent waves and remain in the moderate zone all the way through Super Bowl Sunday.
Thursday: A new, long interval swell will build through the day. Things will start off slow for the morning session, but scout sets should start to show later and fill in through the day.
If you go by the simple data on openings and closings, 2010 wasn’t bad. Slightly fewer restaurants debuted than in previous years, but there wasn’t as much of a drop as I expected in the sour business climate. But there was a change in the market. The year saw the closing of more expensive places such as Il Bocaccio, Upper Manhattan, Le Saint Raphael, and Café Catalina. The newcomers generally offered meals at modest prices.
