Here's what's happening this New Year's Eve:

Hey, whatever happened to that Hermosa Beach guy who survived an avalanche while climbing K2 in Pakistan? What about the Republican woman who found herself in a voting quandary when she discovered Barack Obama was a distant cousin? And that Manhattan Beach yo-yo prodigy -- what's up with him these days? We give you the updates here.

In 2009, I will stop eating jelly beans like there is no 2010. Let's see what other New Year's resolutions South Bay residents have made. While you're at it, tell us what your resolutions are.

Time will stand still for a second today just before 4 p.m., when the custodians of time in Greenwich, England, add a "leap second," to help the earth make up the time it loses in a wobbly, slowing rotation.

Don't feel like a loser if you have no New Year's Eve plans yet: Get some ideas here, and if  you still decide to stay in tonight, wake up early tomorrow morning and go for a refreshing  ocean swim in San Pedro with the rest of the Polar Bears.

The buyers' market intensifies: South Bay home prices slid again in October, nearly a 28 percent drop over price at the same time last year.

Mira Costa's Falyn Fonoimoana is the Daily Breeze's player of the year, leading the best of the best in local girls volleyball players. Check out the lovely ladies here. And Bishop Montgomery's Carrie Rey is coach of the year.

See you next year, South Bay. Bwahahaha!
