Driver injured as car crashes into L.A. Times building

Written By kolimtiga on Sabtu, 11 April 2015 | 23.50

A motorist was injured Saturday morning when the sedan he was driving collided with another car and then crashed into the Los Angeles Times building in downtown L.A.

The 75-year-old driver suffered head injuries in the accident just after 8 a.m. at the intersection of 1st and Spring streets and was being treated by paramedics.

He told bystanders that he had a history of strokes and the accident was "my fault." The driver was traveling east on 1st Street when he ran a red light and collided with a car going south on Spring, according to the driver of the second vehicle. The sedan then drove over the curb and into the Times building.

No one inside the building or in the second car was injured. Times security was evaluating damage to the historic building.

Hundreds gather for funeral of Walter Scott

Hundreds of mourners gathered Saturday for the funeral of Walter L. Scott, the man whose death, captured on video, has transfixed and angered viewers nationwide.

The police officer who shot him, Michael T. Slager, has been fired from the North Charleston Police Department and charged with murder. Scott, 50, was shot after he fled a traffic stop.

Slager is white, Scott was black and his death came after other fatal shootings by police officers prompted protests and calls for reform. City officials here quickly condemned the shooting, and the black Cadillac hearse carrying Scott's casket to a cemetery will be escorted Saturday by a police detail.

The funeral services Saturday will be held at the WORD Ministries Christian Center, a low, one-story brick building with a green roof, surrounded by a grassy lawn with towering shade trees. The church holds about 500, and there was brief jostling as doors opened and church officials begged people to back up and let the Scott family enter.

"This is out of respect for his mother, who wanted this held here. So let's all calm down and work together," a church official said. Several men in the crowd murmured, "Amen!"

Lots of people raised cellphones and stood on tiptoe to take photos and video as the rear of the hearse opened to reveal the casket. Some people sang hymns as they waited, and hoped, to enter the church. Not everyone got inside, and as the service began a few hundred pressed against glass doors trying to see a black-and-white monitor in the lobby.

This story will be updated.

Police search skid row for newborn baby after woman found bleeding

Written By kolimtiga on Jumat, 10 April 2015 | 23.50

Police were searching for a newborn baby in downtown Los Angeles' skid row neighborhood Friday morning after they found a bloodied woman who doctors said had given birth.

It was unclear when the woman gave birth, but police said the pressure was on to find the child before it's too late.

"We are just right under the clock right now," LAPD Officer Jack Richter said. "We need to find that kid if it's still alive."

Officers were performing a block-by-block search of the area Friday morning, including looking through trash bins.

Police said a witness walked into the LAPD's Central station about 4 p.m. Thursday and reported that a woman was bleeding, Richter said.

Officers found the woman outside but couldn't get much information from her, Richter said. They took her to a hospital, where doctors told them the woman had given birth.

Officers immediately launched an extensive search for the newborn, interviewing people in the area to get more details about the mother and the child's whereabouts.

Higher summits for today's backpacking gear

OK, California didn't get any snow again. Water rationing is now mandatory. Spring is the new summer. But look on the bright side: It's a great time to go backpacking. On top of that, the basic gear you need, the big four — boots, tents, poles and backpacks — just keep getting better. Just remember to stay hydrated.

Bootstrap success

Bogs Tumalo: The economical, waterproof, mid-ankle leather hiking boot has built-in pull-up handles.

Likes: The boots go on effortlessly and can be worn painlessly. No more wrestling match, as the built-in handles (a Bogs signature, which I've not seen on other boots) made putting these on a breeze. Why hadn't anyone else thought of this? The wide toe box, more rounded than many others, made them very comfy for my D-width feet throughout my initial four-hour hike/snowshoe trek. They had good ankle support, a sweat-evaporating lining, easy-lace eyelets and a burly but bouncy outer sole.

Dislikes: None.

Price: $130. bogsfootwear.com

Poles apart

Leki Micro TourStick Vario trekking poles: This three-part, adjustable-length folding pole has a carbon section on top and aluminum lowers. Connected with a press-fit and tent-pole-style tension-cords, they break down to 15.5 inches long and weigh 18 ounces per pair.

Likes: Hiking poles make life way easier on the trail, no matter your pack's weight, because they allow you to transfer some of the load from legs to arms. I also love them for the all-body rhythm and balance they give. These high-end poles are designed to last, with stainless steel connectors, aluminum sleeves protecting the carbon tubes and Kevlar-reinforced tension cords. They have a rock-solid feel and 20 centimeters of length adjustment via a quick-release Speed Lock on the top section. A nylon stuff sack is included. Note: Similar features and dimensions can be found on Leki's low-end, all-aluminum Micro Vario PAS; 19.9 ounces per pair, $119.

Dislikes: None.

Price: $199.95. leki.com

Body-hugging pack

Osprey Atmos 50 AG EX Pack: The 50-liter, heavy-duty nylon backpack with load capacity of 25 to 40 pounds features seamless body-hugging mesh webbing from neck to hip. This supposedly reduces fatigue and gives the perception of a lighter load.

Likes: Very comfortable and efficient during long treks. That's due to two things: the well-ventilated yet close-to-the-body design and the instant access to food and water from the hip pockets and the hydration-compatible internal hydration sleeve. (Packs that lack these are a hassle because you have to stop to dig nutrition out of your pack; that prompts many to skip it to keep moving.) Other nice features include side compression straps to minimize and stabilize the load; a zippered sleeping bag compartment in the bottom; a removable floating lid with two pockets for valuables, including rain cover and dry sack (included); external loops and attachments for tools and poles; and numerous stretch pockets for extra water, maps and gear. It weighs 4 pounds in a medium size.

Dislikes: Hydration bladder not included.

Price: $229. ospreypacks.com

Room with a view

Mountain Hardwear Optic 2.5 tent: This extra-big, two-person tent is designed with large, mesh, zippered doors adjoining at a corner (instead of on parallel sides, as is the convention). When opened together, they provide a living-room-window view.

Likes: Comfy. A big footprint of 37 square feet handles 6-footers well and has plenty of room inside for your packs. It includes two vestibules and internal pockets along the corner for cellphones, lights and personal items, so it's easy to keep the interior clean, dry and organized. With a carabiner clip that connects the two main poles, it sets up very quickly.

Dislikes: Although it packs up small, it's rather heavy for long backpacking trips at 6.2 pounds. And there are much less expensive two-person tents (but without the view).

Price: $240. mountainhardwear.com

Live updates: Tiger Woods makes par on fifth hole at the Masters

Tiger Woods will look to improve on his play from Thursday afternoon and avoid being cut at the Masters as he takes the course at Augusta National Golf Club for second-round play today at 7:30 a.m. PDT

Woods shot a one-over-par 73 and is tied for 41st overall, nine shots behind leader Justin Spieth, after going bogey on his first tournament hole in nearly two months.

Woods' short game came up big on the first day, allowing the for the former No. 1 golfer in the world to stay aggressive even after several errant tee shots.

Woods, a four-time winner at Augusta, will need to finish in the top 50 or within 10 strokes of the leader after today's play in order to make the cut. He last failed to make it to the weekend in 1996, before he turned pro.

Check back here for Woods' hole-by-hole results from the first round.

Hole No. 1, Tea Olive: Par 4, 445 yards - Result: Birdie | Score: Even (T30)

So far so good. Woods' opening drive of the morning stays straight and hits the fairway staying just left of the bunker 285 yards out. His second shot lands high on the green, seven feet from the hole. Woods' looking at a birdie to start. Woods joins Louis Oosthuizen, Branden Grace with early birdies on No. 1.

Hole No. 2, Pink Dogwood: Par 5, 575 yards - Result: Par | Score: Even (T30)

The driver remains true again. Woods hits the center of another fairway on his tee shot. Woods goes left side bunker just off the green on his approach. His short game did him well yesterday. We'll find out soon if he's still got that rhythm going. Shot out of the bunker rolls past the hole but he turns around two-putts from 23 feet out.

Hole No. 3, Flowering Peach: Par 4, 350 yards - Result: Par | Score: Even (T28)

Woods goes left of the fairway on his tee shot from No. 3. Second shot goes 64 yards and ends up 11 feet from the hole. Putt for birdie loses steam and Woods will make par on No. 3. with another two-putt.

Hole No. 4, Flowering Crab Apple: Par 3, 240 yards - Result: Par | Score: Even (T24)

Woods goes short on his tee shot sticking just ahead of the front bunker. He'll have to go up and over the trap on his next shot. Woods went bogey here in the first round. Did it. He's two feet from par. On to the next one. Woods makes par and stays at one-under for the round.

Hole No. 5, Magnolia: Par 4, 455 yards - Result: Par | Score: Even (T29)

Drive goes to the right side, 279 yards out, stays in play. Woods is setting up his short game nicely. Second shot sticks on the green about nine feet from the hole. He's got a similar line to the one Jordan Spieth, the current leader at 10-under, took on this hole earlier today. Two-putt.

Hole No. 6, Juniper: Par 3, 180 yards - Result: Bogey | Score: +1 (T29)

Tee shot puts Woods above the hole just off the green. He'll be playing down toward the hole here from about 15 yards out. Chip shot gets him closer, but doesn't make it on to the green. Bogey city. Woods' next shot gets him close but he has to tap it in to finish at No. 6.

Hole No. 7, Pampas: Par 4, 450 yards - Result: Birdie | Score: Even (T29)

Drive takes Woods 295 yards up the fairway. He's in a better spot here today than yesterday. Approach shot catches the edge of green slips past the bunkers on No. 7. Pretty long 27-foot putt for the chance at a birdie coming up. It's in.

Hole No. 8, Yellow Jasmine: Par 5, 570 yards - Result: Birdie | Score: -1 (T16)

Woods narrowly avoids the bunker halfway up the fairway on the tee shot with a 311 yard drive. His approach shot doesn't get on the green but he's 29 yards away from the pin. Brooks Koepka went eagle on No. 8 earlier today. Woods nearly matches Koepka with his chip, but ends up left with a two-footer instead. Birdie.
