LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Funeral services were pending Tuesday for veteran stage, screen and TV actress Conchata Ferrell, perhaps best remembered for her role as Charlie Sheen's sharp-witted housekeeper Berta on the long-running sitcom "Two and a Half Men.""She was a beautiful human," her "Two and a Half Men" co-star Jon Cryer wrote on his Twitter page. "Berta's gruff exterior was an invention of the writers. Chatty's warmth and vulnerability were her real strengths. I'm crying for the woman I'll miss, and the joy she brought so many."... I'm glad that I absolutely knew how fortunate I was to share a stage with her," he wrote. "I treasured every moment and will continue to until we meet again. I have a feeling she'll call me 'Zippy."'Sheen tweeted, "An absolute sweetheart, a consummate pro, a genuine friend, a shocking and painful loss. Berta, your housekeeping was a tad suspect, your `people' keeping was perfect."Ferrell, 77, died Monday, surrounded by family at Sherman Oaks Hospital, the celebrity news website Deadline reported.Ferrell had been hospitalized since May. TMZ reported in July that she had fallen ill and wound up spending a month in intensive care, eventually suffering cardiac arrest that left her on a ventilator and unable to communicate. She was ultimately transferred to a long-term care facility, with her husband, Arnie Anderson, telling the website the family was hoping for the best.A native of West Virginia, Ferrell had an award-winning stage career before moving on to films and television. She earned a pair of Emmy nominations for her work on "Two and a Half Men." She was also nominated for her work on "L.A. Law."She appeared in a series of notable films, including the classics "Network" and "Mystic Pizza," along with "Erin Brockovich" and "Edward Scissorhands."On the small screen, she appeared in a string of shows dating back to the mid-1970s, including "Maude," "B.J. and the Bear," "Hearts Afire," "Teen Angel," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Touched by an Angel" and most recently "The Ranch."She is survived by her husband and daughter, Samantha. 2104

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The number of homeless people counted across Los Angeles County jumped 12% over the past year to nearly 59,000, with more young and old people and families on the streets, officials said Tuesday.The majority of the homeless people were found within the city of Los Angeles, which saw a 16% increase to 36,300, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority said while presenting January's annual count to the county Board of Supervisors.The previous tally found a slight decrease in the homeless population.Two years ago, voters passed a tax hike and housing bond to make massive investments to help solve the homeless crisis.Officials said Tuesday the same people have not remained on the streets.The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, a county agency, said it helped 21,631 people move into permanent housing during 2018 — a pace that could rapidly end homelessness if economic pressures had not pushed thousands more into the streets.About a quarter of the people became homeless for the first time in the past year, and about half of those cited economic hardship as the primary cause, the authority said.To catch up, cities need to overcome resistance to the placement of housing and shelters, officials said.Supervisor Janice Hahn called the numbers "disheartening.""Even though our data shows we are housing more people than ever, it is hard to be optimistic when that progress is overwhelmed by the number of people falling into homelessness," Hahn said.The Los Angeles County numbers mirror similar point-in-time tallies across California, as state officials struggle to address a lack of affordable housing. In addition, officials said, wages among lower income people have not kept up with the rising cost of living.The count found a 24% increase in homeless youth, defined as people under 25, and a 7% jump in people 62 or older.Officials estimate about 29% of people experiencing homelessness in L.A. County are mentally ill or coping with substance abuse problems.About two-thirds of all people on the streets are male, just under one-third are female, and about 2% identify as transgender or gender non-conforming. 2159

LIVONIA, Mich. — A racially offensive history lesson involving slavery has a Detroit mother outraged and calling out her daughter’s school. The parent Livonia, Michigan says she’s speaking out so no other child has to go through a similar situation. Now, the school is issuing a statement of its own.The lesson came during a seventh-grade social studies lesson at Frost Middle School in Livonia that left student Jade Holt disgusted. “It was weird and uncomfortable,” Jade said. She said her course on the history of slavery included a question that read: “A slave stands before you. This slave has disrespected his master by telling him you are not my master. How will you punish this slave?”“I read the question and typed my answer. It was, 'there will be no punishment because I do not believe in slavery,'” Jade said. “I never want my daughter to feel that way again, the way she felt this morning,” Jade's mother Jaala Holt said.She believes the teacher also isn’t the only one to blame. “Everything has to be approved before it’s given to the children. So, for whomever approved this inappropriate question for seventh graders, I find it asinine for me,” Jaala said.A school spokesperson released the statement below, which read, in part:“Concerns from a parent were brought to our attention this morning, and we have reviewed a social studies assignment given to three classes of our seventh-grade students. We recognize the assignment in question was not constructed appropriately, as we believe in the importance of approaching topics of slavery in any era of world history with the utmost care and consideration.”The principal hasn’t said if anyone has been disciplined. At a minimum, Jaala Holt wants teachers to undergo cultural sensitivity training.This story was originally published by WXYZ in Detroit. 1825

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Eric Lauer was on the Dodger Stadium mound when he heard the crowd suddenly get loud and wondered why."I thought there was like a streaker at first and then I looked around, there was nobody," he said. "I thought there was a fight in the stands."Lauer kept pitching, throwing two strikes in the midst of a strong earthquake that rattled the stadium during San Diego's 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night."Not many people can say they threw a strike during an earthquake," Lauer said. "My ball, my pitch, started an earthquake."Early magnitude estimates from the U.S. Geological Survey wavered between 6.9 and 7.1.Lauer didn't realize it until he returned to the dugout and his teammates asked if he felt it."I was locked in no matter what," he said. "When you really focus in there's not a lot that can distract you."All-Star lefty Clayton Kershaw pitched seven sharp innings for the Dodgers, but the loss snapped their nine-game home winning streak.Kershaw was in the tunnel between the dugout and clubhouse during the quake and said he didn't feel it."We really couldn't feel it as much on the field as the people in the upper deck, so there was a lot of commotion going on," said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who was quickly informed of the cause. "Dodger Stadium held up."Lauer was facing Enriquè Hernàndez when the quake struck in the fourth. Lauer's first three pitches of the at-bat — including two strikes — came during the shaking that unnerved some fans in the crowd of 49,790 enough to move from their seats in the upper reserve level and caused the press box to lurch for several seconds.The TV broadcast was marred by the camera bouncing up and down.Hearing the crowd stirring, Hernàndez stepped out of the batter's box after Lauer's third pitch. He eventually flied out to left field to end the inning."He didn't feel it, either, so he was kind of wondering what all the ruckus was about," Roberts said. "I was hoping that he would hit the ball out of the ballpark, add to the commotion."Padres manager Andy Green said he felt the quake and noticed one of the foul poles swaying."I said to (coach) Rod (Barajas) that I'd love for Kikè Hernàndez to hit a ball right down the line where the foul pole sways in and the ball swings just foul based on that," he said.Nothing was said by the public address announcer regarding the quake."People were freaking out," said Daniel Earle, a 52-year-old fan sitting with his wife in the reserve level. "I'm surprised my arm is still here. She was squeezing into it so hard."Jamie Taralunga of Ann Arbor, Michigan, landed in Los Angeles on Thursday, just after a 6.4-magnitude quake. The latest one unnerved her."It was pretty crazy," she said. "I just heard a bunch of screaming all of a sudden and everyone's shaking back and forth. Swaying almost like a boat."Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen was relaxing on a couch in the clubhouse when the shaking began."I thought I was tripping for a second," he said. "It's not fun. You get worried. There's 50,000 people in the stands, the stadium is shaking, and there's nowhere to go."Dodgers outfielder Alex Verdugo noticed third base coach Dino Ebel moving his arm in a wave-like motion."I kind of felt the railing and I was like, we are moving a little bit," the rookie said. "We could be scared but I can't tell the earth to stop moving."Verdugo said teammate Chris Taylor was "all fired up" and came running out from the batting cage after seeing the jarring motion on the TV broadcast.Hunter Renfroe matched a career high with his 26th homer, connecting off Yimi Garcia (1-3) with two outs in the eighth to snap a 2-all tie.Craig Stammen (6-4) got the victory in relief. Kirby Yates earned his 28th save.The Dodgers tied it at 2 in the sixth. Newly named All-Star Max Muncy grounded into a fielder's choice to first base that scored Verdugo, who had a leadoff double and went to third on Lauer's wild pitch.Taylor's RBI single in the third provided the Dodgers' first run.The Padres took a 2-0 lead in the third.Eric Hosmer's RBI double to deep center scored Lauer, who reached on catcher's interference by Austin Barnes. Manny Machado, the former Dodger who has been booed heavily in the first two games of the series, followed with a fielder's choice groundout to third that scored Fernando Tatis Jr., who singled.Lauer allowed two runs — one earned — and four hits in six innings. He struck out six and walked one.Kershaw gave up two runs — one earned — and five hits. He struck out nine and walked one. 4553
