"A lot of people think that arts and entertainment is all about the new movie, the new tv show, there’s so much of that coverage happening. I want to write something that’s fun, but also meaningful. Something that makes you think about L.A. and the creative culture in the city in a new way."
"Between birth and death, eating is the one thing we all have in common, and it's a way to connect people."
We can bicker about local zoning or state control, but fundamentally there's something much bigger going on. We're trying to help communicate what those forces are and what they're doing to Los Angeles.
Check an elevator near you. Is the safety permit expired? That's the case for nearly half of L.A.'s elevators. Here's why.
A year ago, a fight exploded in Koreatown over housing for the homeless. Here's what's happened since.

When Shane Alfonso (pictured in top photo) saw probation officers walk into his backyard, he picked up a shotgun and ran for it. He knew that possession of a firearm and the stolen dirt bike in his backyard were violations of the terms of his probation.
A team of Sheriff's deputies and probation officers from San Bernardino County eventually caught up with Alfonso, dragged him to the ground and took him into booking.
Alfonso is one of thousands of offenders who have committed non-violent, non-serious, non-sexual crimes that normally would have landed them in state prison, but are now under county supervision.

This computer simulation of a hummingbird in flight, surrounded by turbulent vortices of air. Haoxiang Luo, a professor of mechanical engineering at Vanderbilt, built this incredibly detailed simulation based on videos of the real thing (captured by Ty Hedrick at UNC):
When most birds fly, they produce lift as their wings flap downwards, but when their wings flap back up, they do the opposite - they produce a little negative lift. But hummingbirds tilt their wings so they produce positive lift on both upstroke and downstroke.
Luo’s research could be used to help perfect a hummingbird drone. One company in California has already given it a try. Here’s an early prototype, in slow mo, followed by a newer version with a camera attached:

For the next year, we’re going to be highlighting moments from the NPR archive, starting in 1984. Why 1984?
It’s the first year of archives we have on-site. (Earlier archives live off site at the Library of Congress.)
It was a year with a presidential election, the Olympics, and Ghostbusters.
We’re starting a Tumblr to take a look at our archives. To start, we’ll be highlighting one story each day from 1984. (Yes, that means Ghostbusters coverage.) Let us know what you’d like to see there! / Mel
