Price pushes past Davis to win run-off slot

 Los Angeles, CA -- As was widely speculated, there will be a run-off in the 26th Senate District race that will pit Democratic Assemblyman Curren Price against Republican Nachum Shifren and Peace and Freedom candidate Cindy V. Henderson.

No candidate in the contest was able to pull the necessary 50% plus one vote needed to win the seat outright in Tuesday’s balloting, so they now must go into a run-off for a chance to complete the unfinished term of newly elected Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley Thomas, which ends in November 2010.

Artist, sculptor

 Los Angeles, CA -- Artis Lane is not one to follow the beaten path, and nowhere is that inclination more obvious than in her art.

In the 1990s when conceptual art pushed aside works with a spiritual message, Lane continued to create pieces that explored man’s “emergence out of the ignorance of material concepts and into spiritual awareness.”

Lane, who studied art in her native Canada as well as at UCLA, has strived to answer deeper questions through her art for most of her career.
