Good morning -- here's what's happening 10.09.08
The lurching, seething, roiling mess that is the global economy just keeps staggering along. Remember that vaunted $700-billion bailout we taxpayers handed over? Yeah, neither does anyone else. The latest plan? An interest rate cut, of course, and a (are you sitting down?) takeover of the banks by the U.S. government.
There's more (Iceland going bankrupt?) but frankly, I can't bear it, so let's look closer to home:
Freight railroads pledge to add advanced safety systems well in advance of 2012 deadline.
The Dodgers face the Phillies tonight, and Joe Torre is tweaking things in preparation.
An LAPD officer has been injured in a crash with a big rig.
Two bodies have been found in the ocean search for the brother of two congresswomen and his companion.
A brush fire in Camp Pendleton has been contained.
The Supreme Court is hearing the case about sonar and whales during Naval training exercises.
Where are the pumpkin patches in L.A.?
