Which Way, L.A.?
Tom Brady Out for 2008 Season Tom Brady led the New England Patriots to near perfection last season, winning every game except the Superbowl. This season, dreams of another undefeated season and a return to the Superbowl died a sudden death in the opening minutes of the first game, when the quarterback suffered an injury that will keep him off the field for the rest of the year. How is New England coping with the grief? Dan Shaughnessy is a veteran sports writer for the Boston Globe.

Repainting the Sheriff's department, tan and green Barring any unforeseen changes, there will be a new L.A. County Sheriff at the start of next week. Alex Villanueva defeated sitting Sheriff, Jim McDonnell, in this month’s midterms after running a partisan campaign that lead to the first ouster of a sitting Sheriff in more than a century. Villanueva told KCRW this week that his goal is to rid the department of officials that, he said, contributed to a corrupt culture under previous leadership. But there is a lot of concern about what that will look like and if recent reforms could be rolled back.

One Year Later: Rebuilding from the Thomas Fire This week marks one year since the Thomas Fire descended on the city of Ventura. It burned more than 500 homes within city limits. Since then, roughly half of those properties have received the green-light to start construction, but only a handful have actually broken ground. We visit one neighborhood where some of the first homes are getting rebuilt.
