OK, I am getting started extremely late. I was in downtown Los Angeles at the Occupy LA, and driving back here took a little longer than expected. I interviewed City Council member Jefferson "Zuma Jay" Wagner. Look for a video on Malibu Patch soon.

But now for the game, the score is 7-7 with the second quarter about to begin.
