John Cooper Clarke Journeys from Manchester to the Moroccan: It felt like all of L.A.’s English residents were at the Moroccan Lounge on Saturday evening to see the Bard of Salford himself, Dr. John Cooper Clarke.The punk poet with the wild hair and wilder tongue released a string of visceral, hilarious albums in the late ’70s and ’80s — stories of northern English life told by a normal English man with a gift for weaving gold out of grit. It’s that raw honestly blended with an acerbic wit that made him so attractive to the punk rock crowd. Guitars or not (and he has been backed by musicians before, including Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks), Clarke’s spirit is all punk.Dr. Clarke’s stories are relatable to working class people from pretty much anywhere, but his delivery, his style, his entire fucking demeanor, is so Manchester that you wonder how much sense the non-Brits in attendance make of it. Apparently, the mental translation isn’t...City of Hayward identifies officers who fired guns in fatal police shooting

HAYWARD — Two officers who fired their guns in a fatal police shooting earlier this month have been identified by authorities.Officers Alexander Robinson and Dominic Espino were placed on paid administrative leave immediately following the events on Sept. 6. The gunfire happened about 10 p.m. in the 2200 block of City Center Drive after police were called there on reports that a man pulled a gun on two women in a vehicle.Authorities have yet to identify the man, who died after being rushed to a hospital. The Alameda County Coroner’s Office still was working to notify his next of kin, according to authorities.Hayward police acting Chief Bryan Matthews said during a press conference on Sept. 7 that Robinson and Espino each had about five years of experience with the department. He also said that the officers were wearing body-worn cameras when the shooting happened.Authorities have not released footage caught on the cameras.According to Matthews, witnesses told police that...Levi Strauss heir Daniel Lurie enters race for San Francisco mayor

By Biz Carson | BloombergDaniel Lurie, an heir to the Levi Strauss family fortune, is running for mayor of San Francisco next year.Lurie, a local philanthropist and founder of an anti-poverty charity, will challenge incumbent London Breed in a pivotal election for a city battling multiple challenges, from downtown business closures, to homelessness and drug use on the streets, and a surge in robberies.“We are facing a crisis of leadership, and the direction that we are headed leaves me deeply concerned that the next generation will not love San Francisco as we do,” Lurie, a Democrat, said in a statement announcing his candidacy on Tuesday. “This moment demands a new era of leadership from the outside.”Lurie’s bid is an unusual move in a city where many mayors have risen through the political ranks and used the office as a stepping stone to higher positions, such as Senator Dianne Feinstein and California Governor Gavin Newsom. But observers say the city’s current litany of problems ...Two missing California men: last seen at San Luis Reservoir, hunting in Sierra foothills
