Season 11, episode 3 of Beach Weekly covers an on-campus power outage, last week's tuition protest and the largest crowd to ever attend a women's sporting event. An unplanned power outage caused disruptions last Tuesday, August 29. Evening classes were canceled and on-campus facilities like the library, rec center, student union, and more stopped operations for the remainder of the day. The outage was a result of a mechanical error by the school's power supplier and lasted from 5:30 p.m. to 7:10 p.m. The California State University institution has published a plan for a multi-year 6% tuition increase, beginning in fall 2024 through 2028 which would raise tuition to $7,682 by its final year. On Wednesday, August 30, students and some faculty protested the tuition increase on campus. A group of about seven men stole up to $5,000 worth of power tools from the Home Depot on Spring Street in Signal Hill. Police were called to the scene at 6:03 p.m. on August 27. To address recent burglaries within the city, the Long Beach Police Department has established a task force that specializes in combating robberies. The Gerald Desmond Bridge was built in Long Beach fifty-seven years ago to connect downtown Long Beach to Terminal Island. In 2020, the bridge was replaced by the larger Long Beach International Gateway Bridge. The deconstruction of the Gerald Desmond Bridge began in July 2022 and is now completed as of August 2023. The largest crowd to ever watch a women's sporting event gathered in Nebraska on August 30 to watch the Lincoln Cornhuskers women's volleyball team play the Omaha Mavericks. The game was played outside on Lincoln's football field at the Memorial Stadium to accommodate the large crowd of 92,003 people.

It is unknown how Saudi authorities pinpointed his identity through an anonymous account. A forest fire burning in Greece is the largest fire ever recorded in the European Union.

This is Episode 11 of @lets_grab_a_cup podcast. Naval Officer, Police Lieutenant, and President of the Police Officers Association. This is an interview with James Foster (who goes by Jimmy) who spent a lifetime of service to his community and to those he worked around. Jimmy Foster grew up in Long Beach, CA in a family of Law Enforcement Officers. His father and brothers all joined the Long Beach Police Department and Jimmy ultimately followed in those footsteps and joined the Long Beach Police Department after an 8 year career in the Navy. As a young man, Jimmy was accepted into the Naval Academy and graduated as an Officer, ultimately placed in command of his own crew. Jimmy had one idea on how to influence the people he worked with, and that was to show them how much he cared about them. This mindset continued throughout his career and on into Law Enforcement. Jimmy is known as one of the best leaders in the Long Beach organization because he always put others' first and provided mentorship through respect. I had the pleasure of sharing with Jimmy just how much so many of the people he worked with were influenced by him and the way he treated each and every one of them. It's not every day that you get to hear the impact you have made, and I am proud to call Jimmy a mentor and a friend. This podcast is brought to you by Sturgeon Wellness (Intentionality, Authenticity, Resiliency). I am fully invested in the idea of a transparent, authentic, and intentional type of leader. I believe that we can do better for those we serve and those who serve along-side us. Let's step up by being vulnerable. Vulnerability is the true super-power. My goal is to find the leadership values within each one of us and really dive deep to bring it to the forefront. Find more on my website - Sturgeonwellness.com or letsgrabacup.com.

This week, your hosts Steve Lowry and Yvonne Godfrey interview Armen Akaragian and Garo Mardirossian of Mardirossian & Associates, Inc. (https://www.garolaw.com/)   Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here To Rate and Review   Episode Details: Los Angeles trial lawyers Armen Akaragian and Garo Mardirossian of Mardirossian & Associates, Inc. explain how they represented the family of Nonki Uno, a 66-year-old restaurant owner who was killed after the accelerator pedal in her 2006 Toyota Camry got stuck following a crash caused by another driver who ran a stop sign. In August 2009, 86-year-old Olga Bello broadsided Nonki Uno's car, sending it spinning and uncontrollably accelerating, crossing the center median curb and striking multiple telephone poles and trees. Nonki was found dead at the scene with her foot broken and mangled under the brake pedal and her emergency brake activated. Originally tried in 2013, this was a bellwether case for nearly 300 unintended acceleration cases involving Toyota vehicles. Toyota failed to include a Brake Override Safety System (B.O.S.S.) in the American model of the Toyota Camry until 2007 and failed to warn consumers about the fact that solid accelerator pedals can get stuck and cause sudden acceleration. Despite Armen and Garo's argument that Toyota and Olga Bello were to blame for Nonki's death, the Los Angeles jury ultimately found Olga 100% responsible and awarded $10,000,000 in noneconomic damages to Nonki's husband and son.    Click Here to Read/Download the Complete Trial Documents   Guest Bios: Armen Akaragian Armen Akaragian is an attorney with the firm of Mardirossian & Associates, in Los Angeles, California. He has been with the firm since 1999. Admitted to practice in 2006, Armen has arbitrated, tried, and settled several cases that have resulted in multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. Some of the largest entities Armen has represented the firm's clients against include Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Toyota Motor Corporation, Marriott International, Inc., Kiewit Construction, Continental Tire, Land Rover, State of California, Chrysler Motors, Emerson Electric, and Honeywell International. In 2009, he was nominated for the coveted Consumer Trial Attorney of the Year Award by the Consumer Attorneys of California, a statewide organization, following his involvement in the case of Pannu vs. Land Rover. This complex product liability case, which was litigated for more than seven years, tried over eight weeks and underwent a two-year appellate process, ultimately resulted in a fully affirmed judgment in excess of $25,000,000.00. Most notably, the published Court of Appeal opinion set precedent in the State of California excluding from evidence crucial testing that automobile manufacturers have relied upon in defending complex product liability cases for decades. In 2011, Armen again was recognized for his accomplishments by the Armenian Bar Association as one of the top 20 lawyers under 40. This was the first time this award had been given out by the Bar Association. In 2013, Armen was one of the trial attorneys in the first bellwether case tried to verdict, Uno v. Toyota, in the about 300 coordinated cases against Toyota arising from unintended acceleration incidents. The trial lasted for more than three months and resulted in a jury verdict in the amount of $10,000,000.00 for the untimely death of a 66-year-old wife and mother. The case ultimately settled in 2015 at the Appellate Court steps. At that time, the judgment which also included costs and interest exceeded $13,000,000.00. During the trial in Uno v. Toyota, the California Court of Appeal published its opinion in Purton v. Marriott International, Inc., 218 Cal. App. 4th 499 (2013), reversing a grant of summary judgment. The Court of Appeal agreed with Armen's position taken at the trial court level and eventually held that an employer could still be responsible for the acts of its employee who became intoxicated at a company party even if the employee arrived home safely from the party, then left his house and was subsequently involved in a crash. The case eventually started trial in May of 2015 in San Diego. After three weeks and just before plaintiffs rested, the case was resolved for a confidential sum. Armen attended California State University, Northridge, where he earned, in 2002, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration. He then attended Southwestern University School of Law in Los Angeles, where he was consistently on the Dean's List, and completed his Juris Doctor degree in 2005. During his studies, he was also a Judicial Extern for Honorable Dikran Tevrizian, Judge with the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Read Full Bio   Garo Mardirossian Garo Mardirossian is the principal of Mardirossian &Associates, Inc., a five-lawyer firm in the Mardirossian Law Building located at 6311 Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles.

Mr. Mardirossian has obtained over 100 seven- and eight-figure verdicts and settlements, including eight-figure verdicts in product liability, general negligence, and civil rights cases. In April of 2019, Mr. Mardirossian obtained the largest settlement ever against the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in the amount of $42,200,000.00 in the case of Fong v. LA County Sheriff's Department, where a rogue Sheriff's Deputy lost control of his patrol car while responding to a call, Code 3, and hit the plaintiff who suffered a broken leg and a moderate TBI. Despite the crash, within six months, the plaintiff returned back to work without any limitations. In an earlier case against the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Dole v. LA County Sheriff's Department, members of the Dole family were beaten and arrested at the Dole home while celebrating a bridal shower. Mr. Mardirossian obtained a defense verdict in the felony criminal case prosecuted against members of the Dole family and then obtained a jury award in the amount of $24,850,000.00 in the civil rights action -- the largest judgment in history against the Sheriff's Department at the time. In Mendoza v. LA County Sheriff's Department, Mr. Mardirossian obtained a $14,350,000.00 settlement for the family of Frank Mendoza, a grandfather who was mistakenly shot and killed by Sheriff's Deputies as he was exiting his home. More recently, in Valenzuela v. City of Anaheim, an excessive force case that resulted in the choking death of Vincent Valenzuela, Garo Mardirossian and Dale Galipo teamed up to obtain a federal court jury verdict of $13,200,000.00 for the family of an unarmed homeless father of two. In the nationally followed Kelly Thomas v. Fullerton Police Department case, Mr. Mardirossian fought for justice for Kelly Thomas, a homeless man suffering from schizophrenia, who was tased and beaten to death by Fullerton Police officers following an encounter that was escalated by the officers. During jury selection, Mr. Mardirossian obtained a settlement of $4,900,000.00 on behalf of Kelly's father. In Kunta Kinte v.
