  But that doesn’t mean those seats are necessarily safe bets for whomever currently holds the office. Local and state party officials, in fact, have their eye on one in particular to either flip or hold, depending on who you ask.
  That’s the coastal 74th Assembly district.

  LOS ANGELES — They needed a spark, and so Saint Thomas ripped off the mask.
  He shouldn’t have really. He broke his nose three weeks ago, in an exhibition against UTSA, and the black guard over his face was the only thing allowing him to step on a court. Head coach Eric Musselman, certainly, didn’t tell him to take it off.
