Actress Claire Trevor dies at age 90 LOS ANGELES (AP) Claire Trevor, the sultry -voiced actress who appeared in more than 60 films and won an Academy Award for her 1948 performance as a boozy, broken-down torch singer in "Key Largo," died Saturday Trevor died at a hospital near her Newport Beach home, said Richard Elbaum, a spokesman for the family. He did not know the cause of death.

He gave her age as 90, based on a birthdate of March 8, 1910. Some movie Web sites and biographies list a 1909 date, making her 91. Trevor earned Oscar nominations for "Dead End," a 1937 melodrama in which she played a good girl who grows up to be a prostitute, and for "The High and the Mighty," a 1954 airplane-in-trouble epic. She was also in John Ford's 1939 classic "Stagecoach," playing a frontier prostitute redeemed by a gallant John Wayne.

Central Call girl madam convicted of felony counts of "Babydol" Gibson, an aspiring pop singer charged with running one of Los Angeles' largest outcall prostitution operations, was convicted of three felony counts of pimping. A Superior Court jury returned the verdicts after seven days of deliberations. Jurors deadlocked on four other counts of pandering, and Judge Lloyd Nash declared a mistrial on those charges. Gibson, whose full name is Jody Diane Gibson, faces a maximum sentence of eight years and eight months in prison, said District Attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons.

Nash ordered her jailed in lieu of $500,000 bail, scheduling her sentencing for April 28. Authorities have described the blonde haired, flashy -dressing Gibson as a one-time rival of. Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss who once provided 'high priced call girls to celebrities and other wellheeled clients.

Authorities said Gibson's clients were accepted by referral and would pay between $500 and $3,000. Deputy District Attorney Richard Walmark said prosecutors haven't decided whether to retry Gibson on the counts the jury deadlocked on. He said he "It's a validation of the hard work of the Los Angeles Police Department in this investigation," Walmark said. "They did an excellent job in putting this. case together." Gibson's attorney, Gerald V.

Scotti, complained that prosecuting Gibson had been a waste of time and taxpayers' money "The D.A.'S office thinks it's more important to investigate this case than to prosecute murders and gangs and robberies and real crimes," he said. Scotti also complained that the men who allegedly hired prostitutes from Gibson escaped accountability and weren't charged with any crimes. Bush repudiates the immigration policies of former Gov. Pete Wilson LOS ANGELES (AP) George W. Bush repudiated the immigration policies of former Gov.

Pete Wilson Friday, telling Spanishspeaking women he understood why poor Mexicans want to move here. He also reached out to gay Californians, saying he would meet with members of a gay GOP group. Courting the Hispanic vote in California, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee spoke in Spanish occasionally as he addressed a crowd of hundreds of women. When he spoke at a news conference later, a Mexican flag was directly behind him, flanked by the U.S. and California flags.

Wilson battled against affirmative action, bilingual education and illegal. immigration during his years as California governor, from 1991 to 1999. Those fights alienated many Hispanic voters, who now constitute nearly 15 percent of the electorate in the nation's largest state. While he never mentioned fellow Republican Wilson by name, Bush's remarks about immigration were clearly aimed at mending fences with Hispanics. Whereas Wilson warned darkly in a TV ad that illegal immigrants "keep coming," the Texas governor said he could relate to Mexicans who cross the border.

"Family values do not stop at the Rio Grande River," Bush said. "If you're a mother or dad, and you're worried about feeding your children, and you can't find work close to home, and you hear of opportunities somewhere else, and you're worth your salt, you're Still, he added that he believed in tough enforcement of the nation's borders, and said the long term solution to illegal immigration was to help Mexico's economy through free trade. Wilson led the campaign six years ago for California's Proposition 187, which sought to remove illegal immigrant children from public schools. Bush drew sustained applause when he cast himself as a leader What's a beach worth? Researchers plan to find out LOS ANGELES (AP) What's a beach worth? A new $800,000 study aims to find out. A team of economists, scientists and environmentalists has begun hanging out on the sands in Los Angeles and Orange counties to determine the monetary value of beach use.

"We want to paint a picture of the contributions of beaches to the Southern California economy and also of the economic value of enjoyment that California residents said Michael Hanemann, a University of California, Berkeley, economics professor who heads the study. The value of each beach, based on factors such as parking spaces, will be multiplied by the Man arrested in UC stabbing case DAVIS (AP) A 21-year-old man was arrested in Southern California early Saturday in connection with the stabbing of a University of California at Davis student in her campus apartment.

Traffic cam is coming to Los Angeles LOS ANGELES (AP) People who make a sport of running red lights had better beware: Big Brother will soon be keeping its eye on them. The City Council has approved the installation of cameras at 16 Los Angeles intersections as part of a three experiment aimed at nabbing light beaters.

It hasn't been decided where the cameras would go, but officials say 35 intersections are under study. The first cameras are to be installed by July 1. Similar systems are used in dozens of cities around the world, including nearby Beverly Hills, said Councilwoman Laura Chick. "The results everywhere it is used are very dramatic," she said. "Auto collisions are radically reduced.

Lives are saved." Although city officials don't keep statistics on how many crashes occur at intersections, they noted that there were 181 traffic fatalities in Los Angeles last year. "It's one of our major causes of accidents where people are killed or seriously injured," police Lt. Ron Tingle said. The cameras, placed in boxes on poles overlooking intersections, record the license plates and faces of people driving cars that enter intersections after the lights have changed. Police would send the plate numbers to the state Department of Motor Vehicles, which would then mail $271 citations to the cars' owners.

who "will not use our children, the children of immigrants, as a political issue in Reaching out to gays, another group of voters who have seldom identified with the Republican Party, Bush said he is likely to meet in coming days with members of the Log Cabin Republicans. He said last month, during the primary election campaign, that he would not meet with leaders of the gay GOP group who had run TV ads against him. And he said Friday that he would meet with "members who are for me and want to help me get elected." He had said 1 in March, "I've got members of the Log Cabin Republican Club on my campaign team. They're supporting me and I'm proud to have their His comments Friday came in response to questioning from a small group of reporters. Aides said his remarks on Hispanic immigration were his most forceful to date.

Researchers say the results are important, because they can help measure economic benefits or set fines for polluters. "The bottom line is that there is an economic benefit associated with the use and enjoyment of our beaches," said Linwood Pendleton, an assistant professor of economics at the University of Southern California. "When our beaches are empty, many businesses suffer, and our. quality of life can be adversely affected as well," he said.
