'Canine disarming'? Many readers state their opposition to controversial dental procedure
We told you last month about Cotton, the L.A. dog whose aggression issues led his owner, Diane Krieger, to look for a solution in the form of an unorthodox procedure called canine disarming. To "disarm" a dog prone to biting, a veterinary dentist (in this case, Manhattan Beach-based Dr. David Nielsen) removes a few millimeters of its canine teeth using a CO2 laser -- with the end result being an animal that might still bite, but is likely to cause less damage than it would with its fangs intact.

Recession, Debt Wear On Commercial Real Estate
Although the housing market has started to show signs of recovery, the future of commercial real estate is looking increasingly grim. And this could be a sign of trouble for the fragile U.S. banking sector. The economic recession and the rising unemployment rate has forced businesses to cut back on rental space, which has resulted in decline in revenue for many landlords. Moreover, it has become increasingly harder to refinance due to tighter underwriting standards and falling real estate values. [more...]

The Future of Transportation by Shai Agassi Projecting the future of energy, transportation, and environment. The time is now, and the change is already in motion.

Climbers flock to Manhattan Beach dune, causing erosion and anger
Sheree Parnell arrived at the Sand Dune Park in Manhattan Beach, expecting to march up the popular 300-foot dune for what friends had told her was the ultimate cardiovascular workout.

Dan Dorfman: More Shocks For Bank Stocks?
It’s one of the hot Wall Street debates. Do you or don’t you hop on the bandwagon and buy one of those bloodied, but rebounding financial stocks? Let’s look at the banks. At first glance, with 70 banks having failed this year, more failures on the way and some estimates calling for another $400 to $800 billion of writedowns from bum loans, banking shares — many of which have skyrocketed from their recent lows — hardly seem appetizing at current levels.

Lloyd Garver: Was Bush Right About Iraq?
Some of the criticism George W. Bush and his administration received when they began the war against Iraq was that they were trying to force our culture on the Iraqi people.

However, many people felt that our value system just wouldn't work in Iraq. They said that the Iraqi people would never adopt Western values and customs. [more...]
