Things to do this weekend: Space Shuttle Endeavour's towering new home opens

Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center opens: Fly to the stars, we can, at least in our daydreams. But we can also make our way to Exposition Park and the sensational state-of-the-art structure housing Space Shuttle Endeavour. The orbiter's new home has been years in the making — you'll recall its epic slow-roll from LAX to California Science Center nearly 15 years ago — and there are hundreds of dazzling displays, hand-on exhibits, and educational stations to engage visitors. Oh yes: The shuttle is now in launch position, something that may simultaneously drop jaws and inspire "wows" from those in the vicinity. The center debuts Nov. 13 and tickets are free (there is a $4 fee when booked online).

A Venice Property With Space to Share

VENICE - A wide front lawn and mature greenery welcome visitors to this Venice property, where two separate homes share generous grounds.

Microsoft Goes Down, and the Media Business Takes Off Early

It’s not just you: The Runyon Canyon and Baldwin Hills trails are unusually busy. The New Jersey Transit trains to Montclair and Metro North trains to Westchester really are more crowded. Xbox Slashing 3,200 Jobs In "Most Significant Restructure" in Platform's History The media business took off early on Thursday, and the bosses can blame Microsoft. The tech giant suffered a stunning global outage Thursday, putting Outlook, Teams, CoPilot and online version of Word, Excel and other software on ice, and work grinding (mostly) to a halt. Inside one midtown Manhattan media office, one employee said that as soon as it became clear the services weren’t coming back soon, folks headed for the door, braving the rain to try and get home early. Inside one newsroom, the programming and newsgathering had to go on, but one staffer said that the conversations migrated to Slack and text chains. The media business may still rely on old-fashioned technology: Film reels, cable wires and broadcast spectrum, but the internet has become its backbone, and an outage of this scale can grind an industry (or in this case much of the economy) to a halt.

Even business-friendly Vernon is souring on data centers

There is only one place new data centers are being built in the greater Los Angeles area: the city of Vernon. Just south of downtown L.A., it's a city made up almost exclusively of companies. About 50,000 people commute every day into Vernon to work, but only about 300 actually live there, and the city government is famous for its friendliness to heavy industry.
