Noel Hacegaba, the new CEO of the Port of Long Beach, is a man in a hurry to make the port a player in world trade. He’s also a minister who loves a good football metaphor. Read more in my Long Beach Business Journal profile.

I wish people who distrust the media could see the lengths I just went to to confirm one phrase in a 3,000-word story

Respect to the utility player.

Excellent researcher and low-key great L.A. Times pick-up hoops player. I'll miss Scott Wilson the journalist, but I'll alway aspire to be Scott Wilson, guy who fought to the death for rebounds long after his hair went gray.

[Daniel Miller @DanielNMiller]

LAT is losing a lot of great journalists today, and I want to single out research librarian Scott Wilson, who is leaving after 28+ years. He's a true unsung hero — his meticulous work has enriched so many stories. And some of the ones I'm most proud of list him as a contributor.

There’s nothing wrong with the Obamas’ marriage. Michelle doesn’t want to be around Trump. End of story.

Your spouse doesn’t have to go to your annoying work thing.

I once taught an 8 am college class. So many grandparents died that semester. I then moved my class to 3 pm. No more deaths. And that, my friends, is how I save lives.
