Here's a look at what's going on out there on this hazy Monday:

In exchange for pleading guilty to molesting some kids, former Peninsula High School coach Barry Sacks was sentenced this morning to 60 days in jail, five years of probation, permanent sex offender status, 30 days community service  and 52 weeks of sex offender counseling. Courts maven Denise Nix will have a bigger story later today.

A man was found stabbed to death Sunday morning at Banning Park in Wilmington.

Despite an economic and real estate downturn, backers of the massive Terranea housing development in Rancho Palos Verdes are gearing up for its June development, which seemingly popped up overnight.

What's a senior citizen gotta do to get a smoke these days in El Segundo? After complaints of second-hand smoke at the city-run Park Vista retirement home, El Segundo has issued an immediate ban on puffing in common areas, and smoking in private residences is illegal as of December 2009.

The public can weigh in on redevelopment plans for San Pedro's waterfront at 6 p.m. tonight.

At home, Rancho Palos Verdes resident Lauren Palmer has a cat and two goldfish. At work in San Pedro, she cares for injured seals and sea lions.

And here some stuff you might have missed over the weekend:

A Manhattan Beach woman is working to build a 40-acre ranch that will provide work opportunities, group exercise activities and art therapy for children with disabilities, like her 15-year-old son who has long battled epilepsy.

Los Angeles Police Department's new $35 million station in Wilmington is set to open in January, but we give you a sneak peek.

Not to toot our own horns, but Daily Breeze photogs Scott Varley and Brad Graverson, as well as a former reporter were honored Saturday for their work by the California Newspaper Publishers Association. Also reporter Gene Maddaus received an honorable mention, as did staff artist Paul Penzella. Just think, you get all that talent for just a quarter a day -- or free online!
