Crenshaw's footballers acquired a Gilman 16' Portable Rope Squares unit for development of high-stepping, increased agility, coordination, and high-knee action.
There was quite a bit of awkward stumbling at the beginning of the week, as most of the current team has not had access to this kind of equipment for several seasons.
But there was obvious improvement after several days of use, as this video demonstrates.

This Saturday will be the third weekend in the month of June so you know what that means right? Well yes. Sunday is Father's Day. But I'm talking specifically about the state holiday that takes place each year on the third Saturday in June ever since Governor Gray Davis signed into law Assembly Bill 1749 in 2002 and Senate Bill 812 in 2003. What? You need a hint? Okay..."They" say that on this day the appropriate thing to eat is barbeque and red soda water.…

As I become older the desire for a simpler, cleaner life is becoming more appealing. After watching tons of videos on the "eminence" of economic collapse and total anarchy the idea of being able to feed and sustain myself and my family has become somewhat of a passion.
Now, don't get me wrong, I am not saying these disaster scenarios will happen but they could. In any case, the idea of living clean with fresh foods that have not been genetically modified excites me.…

Like most of us, I know too many people whose lives have been touched by cancer. Quite frankly I believe that cancer is big business which is why in all this time scientists and doctors have not come up with a cure. In the meantime I've started participating in the annual Relay for Life event.
They are held in communties across the United States. I will be participating in the Baldwin Hills Relay For Life…

If you live in the Los Angeles area, please join 89.3 KPCC on Saturday, May 13 for a panel discussion on what makes a medical condition "invisible": What is unique about the suffering of someone who has R.A. or chronic migraine headaches? What challenges does that person face in communicating her or his condition to a health provider? And is this a matter of public health?
Conditions like cancer, heart disease and AIDS strike fear into the…
On Thursday, May 2, the Empowerment Congress NANDC neighborhood council voted to award a $2,000 grant to ECCLA's 22nd Annual Teacher Awards. We honor K-12 educators who go above and beyond the call of duty at an elegant event at the Natural History Museum of L.A. County. With all of the challenges facing education, this is our opportunity to highlight the many teachers who do extraordinary work every day with very little attention or recognition. We hope to stream the event live, so stay…

Tomorrow's election day. We've been bombarded with mail and tv, millions of dollars worth, and it still seems to me (and I usually try to follow these things) about very few tangible effects for the neighborhoods.(Interestingly, almost all the millions on the mayoral campaign have come from our neighbors on the westside.) The differences between the mayoral candidates are…

The Associated Press Stylebook and several newsrooms have dropped the term "illegal immigrant." On the AP website, a top editor clarified, "The Stylebook no longer sanctions the term 'illegal immigrant' or the use of 'illegal' to describe a person. Instead, it tells users that 'illegal' should describe only an action, such as living in or immigrating to a country illegally."
The decision has been applauded by Latino and…
