What was Hughes Aircraft like without the “Hughes”? Find out from the man, Ken Richardson, who bridged the gap between Hughes Aircraft founder eccentric Howard Hughes and General Motors’ purchase in 1987.

The author of “Hughes After Howard - The Story of Hughes Aircraft Company” will share his wealth of experiences and that of 90 former Hughes employees. This is a
remarkable piece of American aviation history as well as insight into Southern California’s love affair with aerospace. Learn about many complex products in all fields of electronics crafted by this highly motivated, inventive team.
Prior to his current book, Richardson also co-authored “Testing Death: Hughes Aircraft Test Pilots and Cold War Weaponry.”

405 Freeway, between the 10 and the 101 Freeways
|
|
A full 53-hour closure of the 405, roughly between the 10 and 101 freeways, is planned for the weekend of July 16-17, 2011.

Due to the steep nature of the bridge, the freeway in both directions must be closed to protect the public during demolition.
Demolition preparation work is scheduled to begin Friday night, July 15, 2011 at 10 p.m., and continue until Monday morning, July 18, 2011 at 5:00 a.m. During this period, the Mulholland Drive Bridge and both directions of the 405 freeway and on- and off-ramps within the area of the closure will be closed to ensure public safety during bridge dismantling.

Torrance Police Department is joining with the Automobile Club of Southern California (Torrance Branch) and the California Highway Patrol (Southern Division) to offer a great free service to help you prevent auto theft: FREE Window VIN etching event for car owners
Keep you car from being stolen. Auto theft is the #1 property crime in the nation. A window VIN-etched vehicle creates a thief’s nightmare. Thieves steal vehicles to sell their parts thus etched windows make a car less profitable. Etched windows also help law enforcement in the recovery of your vehicle.
Your car will gain added protection as a team of Auto Club professionals will use stencils and applicators to lightly etch the unique Vehicle Identification Number on you car, truck or SUV windows. Just bring your current vehicle registration and/or proof of ownership. You also will be asked to sign a consent and release form. You’ll drive off with etched windows, anti-car theft materials and greater peace of mind.
