SADUBAS, aka The Sadhus of Bass, converges classical Indian rhythms with 70s Bollywoodvibes to create psychedelic soundscapes that are one part trip hop and two parts cinematic southAsia. DJ/turntablist Ameet Mehta and tabla artist Robin Sukhadia bring a global lounge feel totheir live sets, which feature classical instrumentation alongside midi controllers. Robin, a discipleof Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri of CalArts and the Ali Akbar College, humanizes the Sadubas soundwith tabla, the classical drums of North India. Samples captured from the realms of classical Indianmusic, Bollywood, ancient rhythms, jazz, and film add texture to each Sadubas performance andrecording. Ameet uses the turntable as a pure instrument, applying skratches and abstractions tocreate the lush atmosphere of Sadubas. Attuned to lounge and downtempo grooves, Ameet laysdown the deepest bass kicks driven by a wide range of electronic music tools.

AARON NIGEL SMITH’s “Call To Action” is to get kids and families to sing, dance and playtogether.

WINNERAWARD WINNERAWARD WINNER

ON TUESDAY, DONALD TRUMP ANDMelania made a visit to Austin, Texas to sup-port victims ravaged by Hurricane Harvey.Inexplicably he didn’t mention those whodied (19 and climbing), including StevePerez, a 34-year veteran Houston cop.Trump also didn’t mention the grievingfamilies or the staggering numbers who aredisplaced and whose lives are turned upsidedown. But, as usual, he did manage to pathimself on the back.

A climate change denier, (Trump said itwas a Chinese hoax designed to wreck oureconomy) in one ad-libbed speech, he boast-ed to a group bragging about the crowd sizethat came to hear him. In a briefing of hisemergency team, he commented that onemember was “going to be famous from allthe TV” he had been on. I wasn’t the onlyone appalled by Trump’s shallowness.

David Axelrod of CNN said, “Trumppraised his team — and by extension, him-self--but had not a word for victims. It wasanother dispiriting display of obtuse self-puffery for a President who just doesn’t gethis role.” In the N.Y. Times, Frank Bruni’scolumn was entitled, “The Waters Swell. SoDoes Trump’s Ego.”

Brunni quoted a Trump tweet, “‘Evenexperts have said they’ve never seen one likethis!’” He went on, “Trump’s hurricane talkand tweets were like his fair-weather fare:childishly intent on superlatives, laden withboasts and lavish with discordant asides, allwith an air of self-impressed wonder.” Tothat I note that Trump called the storm “his-toric” and “epic” much as he had describedhis electoral college victory.

We’ve never seen empathy from DonaldTrump or even affection to Melania whoalmost always trails him as he walks to anevent. He rarely hugs her or his kids, andwhen he does it seems awkward and unnat-ural. Fake hugs?

Think about it. Would a person withempathy mock the disabled? Or a Gold Starfamily? Recently, Trump belittled JohnMcCain who’s fighting for his life againstbrain cancer. What type of person does that?I fear Trump’s obvious narcissistic disorderrenders him a sociopath, one without a con-science and incapable of remorse. In a focusgroup, a once avid Trump supporter said,“He’s such a flawed person, I wish he wereon the other side of issues I care about.”

Back to his Texas trip, never missing achance at self-promotion, even during oneof the worst natural disasters in Americanhistory, Trump was wearing a USA hat that

he sells on his website for $40. In fact, aWhite House press release had a link tomake buying the hat more convenient. Theproceeds will go to Trump’s 2020 campaignor even his Russia investigation legal bills.Melania was also wearing a hat but so farhers hasn’t been posted on Trump’s website.

One could say all presidents have unusu-al egos. But we’ve never seen this level ofnarcissism. And all politicians are prone tolying or at a minimum, spinning “facts.” ButTrump’s lies are in a category by themselves.

For example, the infamous “audit,” whichsupposedly prevented him from showing histax returns. I knew it then, I know it now,there was no audit. It was one giant lie. Justlike he didn’t send private detectives toHawaii in pursuit of his racist birther lie.“What they found was amazing.” Nothingwas found because no detectives were sent.Otherwise, Donald,show us the report.

When he could no longer take the pres-sure, like a spoiled child caught in a whopper(the lie, not the burger) Trump said hewouldn’t talk about the birther issue any-more. Actually, I’m convinced Trump knowsthe vast majority of the country knows he’slying because he’s done it his whole life.Furthermore he doesn’t care. Why shouldhe? He’s devoid of a conscience.

In Missouri on Wednesday, clearly onadvice from aides, Trump read the words ofcompassion for Harvey victims. That’s thefake Trump. The real Trump is when he adlibs, like when he said, “there were some finepeople” among the KKK and Nazi protestersin Charlottesville.

In Missouri the real Trump attacked,among others, Missouri Democratic SenatorClaire McCaskill. And in his tax speech heshowed “empathy” but for corporations.Even Ann Coulter blasted him. “It was hisworst, most tone-deaf speech ever.” (I’d loveto see Coulter and Trump in the octagon.)

As often happens in national tragedies,the best of human nature can be seen inaction. In Houston the sights of people self-lessly risking their lives to help strangers areinspiring and give us all hope. Unfortunately,Donald Trump doesn’t know the word self-less. At a time of crisis, when given a chanceto unite, he divides. And when given theopportunity to be consoler in chief and helpheal the country, he talks about crowd size.#Robert Mueller Please Hurry!

— ASSOCIATED PRESSSAN FRANCISCOJudge: Trump delay of Obama coal rule was illegal

The Trump administration illegally delayed an Obama-era rule intended to increaseroyalty payments to taxpayers from oil, gas and coal extraction on federal lands, a judgeruled.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Laporte, however, stopped short Wednesday of rein-stating the Obama rule.

Laporte noted that the Trump administration revoked the rule, with the revocationtaking effect on Sept. 6.

The judge said reinstating the Obama rule for a few days would disrupt the miningindustry by requiring it to switch gears to the old rule in a short time.

The U.S. Department of Justice declined to comment.Watchdog groups long complained that taxpayers were losing hundreds of millions of

dollars annually because royalties on resources from public lands were being improperlycalculated. They applauded the Obama administration’s changes.

Critics said the changes would drive up energy costs and reduce energy investmenton federal and Indian lands.

Trump administration Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said earlier in August that repeal-ing the rule “provides a clean slate to create workable valuation regulations.”

The agency remains committed to collecting every dollar due, Zinke said, noting thatpublic lands are assets belonging to taxpayers and Native American tribes.

The lawsuit challenging the delay of the Obama-era rule was brought by CaliforniaAttorney General Xavier Becerra and New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas.

Balderas’ office said in a statement the Obama rule would bring more money to NewMexico that would be earmarked for public schools.

“I’m pleased that a federal court agreed with us that Donald Trump broke the law,”Balderas said in a statement. “This is a big win for New Mexico’s students, families andteachers.”

— ASSOCIATED PRESSSAN FRANCISCOApple expected to unveil next iPhones at Sept. 12 showcase

Apple’s faithful fans and investors won’t have to wait much longer to see what theiPhone maker has in store next.

The company sent out invitations Thursday to set Sept. 12 as the date for an annualpost-Labor Day showcase.

As usual, the famously secretive Apple didn’t say what’s on tap, but this is typicallywhen the company unveils new iPhones.

Much of the anticipation is swirling around whether Apple will show off a dramatical-ly different type of iPhone with a sleeker and even bigger screen to celebrate the device’s10th anniversary. Even if a fancier version is unveiled, Apple will also likely announceupgrades to last year’s iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

It’s Apple’s first event at the Steve Jobs Theater at its new headquarters in Cupertino,California.

Apple’s invitation seemed to hint that something colorful is in store as it presented amulti-hued depiction of the company’s famous logo. That choice will likely spur specula-tion that Apple’s new phone will feature a screen with organic light-emitting diode, orOLED, which will display more vivid colors than previous models. Rival phones fromSamsung already use OLED.

There have also been reports that the company intends to show off an upgrade to itsApple TV streaming box that will be capable of handling ultra-high definition, or 4K, video.

shimmy unnervingly, especially as theypassed each other. A veteran rider, Garcettinoted the train’s two cars have always donethat, particularly when they pass on a three-track section of railway in the middle.

“Those are just a couple of historic bumps,”he added with a grin. “Don’t be alarmed.”

Earlier he’d assured people the railroad,ordered closed by the state after the 2013derailment, had been restored to the highestsafety standards.

A funicular, Angels Flight operates byusing the counterbalancing weights of itscars to pull one up while the other descends.When the two cars pass they are no morethan an inch or two apart, adding to theexcitement of the ride.

Angels Flight was still closed whenGosling and Stone rode it in “La La Land”last year, to the surprise of the public andstate officials.

While it was idled its cars were badlyscarred by graffiti in 2015, prompting thou-sands to petition the mayor to get it back inservice but something else happened. They

were spruced up and freshly repainted forThursday’s run.

“I’m thrilled to see it back again,” said 71-year-old Los Angeles periodontist GordonPattison, who like countless other LosAngeles natives has countless childhoodmemories of taking a scenic ride up anddown the railway.

“I think the first time I rode it was in mymother’s arms. In 1946,” said Pattison, whorode it again Thursday.

Roundtrips cost a penny when AngelsFlight opened in 1901. They cost $1 nowwith a 50-cent discount for those who paywith a transit card.

It was a must-take ride for tourists andlocals alike when it closed in 1969 for adecades-long redevelopment project thatsaw Bunker Hill’s mansions replaced byhigh-rise office buildings, hotels, luxuryapartments and museums.

Four years after it reopened in 1996 it wasadded to the National Register of Historic Places.

It was closed again in 2001, however, aftera failure of the counterbalancing systemcaused a crash that killed one rider andinjured several others. The railway finallyreopened in 2010, only to be closed threeyears later after riders had to be rescued.

and a notification to the driver if the busexceeds the speed limit.

“The system will also provide detailedmetrics and reports that staff will use toestablish ‘hotspots’ for training and notify-ing staff of locations where there is a need tobe aware of pedestrian and cyclist traffic, aswell as work with our partners in the Cityand service area to improve intersection, busstop and roadway safety,” said the report.

According to BBB, the system will helpaccount for an expected increase inpedestrian/bike density in Santa Monica. Thereport said additional bike/pedestrian paths, thedowntown pedestrian scrambles and the pres-ence of the Expo Line are all increasing the num-ber of people walking or biking on local roads.

The pilot program will be judged a success ifit can reduce preventable collisions by 50 per-cent, create useful safety reports, provide esti-mates of cost savings from accidents avoidedand develop training processes for future use.

In addition to providing real-time warningsto drivers, the system will be generating data tohelp map and therefore prevent, accidents.

“The Shield+ Telematics System has theability to track bus routes and identify wherethere have been detections and alerts,” saidthe report. “Using the collected data,Telematics can generate safety reports basedon location, drivers, number of detectionsand other factors. After identifying thepotential ‘hotspots,’ BBB can further investi-gate the possible causes of high number ofalerts, allowing BBB to make data-basedinformed decisions on improvements to itsbus routes and/or stops in order to reducethe number of collisions and near misses. Inaddition, BBB will share the safety reportswith the City of Santa Monica’s MobilityTeam for their use in identifying potentialpedestrian ‘hotspots’ in Santa Monica.”

The system has been tested inWashington State and over the three monthpilot the system recorded no pedestrian orforward collisions. The results were consid-ered a success and some agencies are nowadopting the program system wide.

Rosco Collision Avoidance, Inc. providesthe technology and the one year local pilotprogram will be funded by bond moneyfrom the State.

By MICK & MASON MASTROIANNI & JOHNNY HART

The moon in powerful Capricorn confronts Jupiter in the sign of relationships. Mental chains can be worsethan real chains, because you don’t realize you’re wearing them. Once you notice you’re following a men-tal pattern, you can break it. Often it’s in the very moment when you think there’s nothing you can do thata new option opens up.

Lunar Confrontation With Jupiter

ARIES (March 21-April 19)Many situations are ambiguous. It’s the way weinterpret them that gives them context andmeaning. To take a neutral situation and turn itinto something negative is to needlessly draina little joy from your life. Let in the light.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)When working harder doesn’t solve it, stop.You don’t want to exhaust your energy in thewrong direction. Also, there’s no need to proveyou’re the hardest worker. Anyway, you’remore into getting results. So ask for advice.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)Contraction is the natural reaction to the coldor hardness of either external or internal cir-cumstances -- a narrowing of focus and life.Now what will you do to counter it?

CANCER (June 22-July 22)You know a lot on the subject at hand and will beasked for your opinion. You’ll be slow to weighin, though, ever aware that there are always newinsights. Peers will respect your humility.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)When you’re really “on” (as you’ll find you will fre-quently be over the next three weeks) your sto-ries will be like theme park rides that take peopleout of the atmosphere and into a new worldbefore returning them safely back to the car park.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Some things are beautiful because they fit soperfectly into a well-defined niche. Otherthings are beautiful because they are so diffi-cult to explain or define. The latter kind bringstoday’s wonderment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)The human fight-or-flight response only workswith outside stimuli. No human can run fastenough to get away from his or her inner life.Fighting with it is futile, too. An accepting,gentle conversation will do much good, though.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)Nothing is interesting until someone is inter-ested in it. When you pay attention and hookinto what fascinates you, you’ll make the sub-ject more appealing to others. Your curiosityis, in essence, a public service.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Relax. Let the stressful thoughts float by with-out grabbing hold of them. There’s a lot runningthrough your head that you can safely dismiss,if only because you’ve already thought it before.What’s new and important will stand out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)People show appreciation in the way theyknow how. Often, it’s not in the timeliest orpolitest way, but we’re not all coming from thesame teaching in that regard. Let it go andaccept kindness however it comes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)They’re seeking the same thing that you are:love, peace and connection. Of course, a fairexchange of goods, services and money wouldbe nice, too. You just might get it all.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)When you get a whiff of something that remindsyou of the past, this can trigger an incommensu-rable emotional response in you that’s not an accu-rate representation of what’s actually going on.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 1)

The love coming into your life will grow and grow. You’ll sail the uncharted territory and make yourown map in October. In November, choices that seem monumental are actually as silly as worryingabout choosing which side of the bread to butter. Not knowing makes it exciting. Dive in: It’s deli-cious either way. Sagittarius and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 33, 27 and 17.
