Readers, without further ado:

Like much of the state, South Bay school districts improved on test scores and many exceeded goals, according to figures released Tuesday by the California Department of Education.

Speaking of which, Gardena's 156th Street Elementary School was one of 25 schools statewide to receive honors for their students' standardized test performance.

Prosecutors presented closing arguments Tuesday in the murder re-trial case of Cameron Brown, who is accused of killing his 4-year-old daughter by throwing her over a Rancho Palos Verdes cliff nine years ago.

Though he agrees that President Obama was lying in his health care speech last week, South Bay Congressman Dana Rohrabacher said Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst was wrong. Rohrabacher was one of seven republicans who voted Tuesday to censure Wilson.

The Los Angeles County Health Services Department, an already indebted agency that oversees several South Bay clinics as well as Habor-UCLA Medical Center, will see a $71 million reduction in state funding this fiscal year.

Finally some good economy news: August showed the smallest decline in shipments passing through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach this year, figures released Tuesday show.
