Seven Reasons L.A. is the Best

Those efforts led to yesterday's event, organized by a recently formed group of Salvadoran expatriates named Salvadoran Community Corridor. The name refers to an L.A. neighborhood spanning Vermont Avenue from 11th Street and south to Adams Boulevard, an area the Salvadoran community has claimed its own for decades. While clearly supportive of Romero and Mayen, the group is further collaborating with other Salvadoran organizations and businesses to get folks to the Home Depot Center to catch Chivas USA matches.

Mayen, who himself grew up only minutes away from West Adams High School, was very appreciative of the support. When asked about the experience of having grown up within a stone's throw and now being honored, he stated "It is a great thing for me. I see the support for us Salvadorans and Chivas USA and it is a pleasure."

Romero is still trying to acquaint himself with the city and the move, but said "First and foremost, I am really happy about the opportunity to play here," and later added, "I am looking forward to being able to show what we can do."

Once they get on the field, they'll have a big cheering section in the stands as at least 500 tickets have already been bought by a local Salvadoran group for the season opener on March 26th at the Home Depot Center.

Filing to run in the primaries on the June 8th ballot were due last Friday and various incumbents are getting an easy ride, reports KPCC. Supervisors Gloria Molina and Zev Yaroslavsky (image to the right) and Sheriff Lee Baca will face zero challengers, save for any aggressive write-in campaign.

This, or course, plays into Yaroslavsky's position that term limits are part of the budget woes the city of L.A. and state are facing: "People say, `Why is the county in better shape than the city or than the state?' Up until recently, we didn't have term limits, so we have the benefit of experience ... we take a longer view of our jobs and we don't panic... We have the benefit of perspective and experience and I think that has helped us navigate these waters much more successfully than others have."

Bicycle activist and blogger Ted Rogers is among a handful of cyclists who received an advance look at training materials to be handed down to rank and file officers for better enforcement and protection surrounding cycling on Los Angeles streets. One thing absent from a list of laws to enforce was blocking bike lanes so he asked a commander and got an answer.

A bike lane, he explained, is a lane of traffic. And it is against the law to block any traffic lane without a permit.

Which means that those trash cans and recycling bins blocking the bike lane in the picture up above are violating the law. As are the countless tree limbs, advertising signs, double-parked cars and other assorted hazards we frequently find blocking our way on the few strips of asphalt dedicated to our exclusive use.

Of course, it’s one thing to confirm it’s illegal. It’s another entirely to get someone to enforce it.

Parking enforcement officers in the past haven't been too eager to write tickets for blocking a lane. Perhaps now they will?

As part of their local section today, the LA Times features two stories on two separate local police departments--one in the South Bay and the other in the Valley--mired in their own controversies.

In Torrance on March 4th, a 62-year-old black pastor driving his 15-year-old daughter from school when he was pulled over as police searched for a suspect in his 30s driving with a woman in her 40s. Both the suspects and Pastor Robert Taylor's car were white Ford Thunderbirds, but Taylor's vehicle had no spoiler and, unlike the suspect's, it had all four hubcaps. Still, when police ran Taylor's license plate and saw his name, multiple arrest warrants came up, but Taylor had to explain there were other people with his name out there with different ages.

When he was pulled over, he had to put his hands up and was frisked. "This was a totally degrading and traumatizing experience for me," Taylor said. "This means that any black male driving a car that looks like a suspect's car can just be pulled over, taken from the car, searched in front of everyone. That's profiling. That's harassment. . . . They were even talking about putting handcuffs on me."

In Burbank, the culture of the police department has been ripped to shreds. "Allegations of excessive force, discrimination, retaliation and coverups leave deep rifts in Burbank's small department," reads the Times' deck on the story. "The chief stepped down after one of the accused officers committed suicide." The City Council has dedicated $1 million to problems for experts to assess the problem. In the past, the force in the past has prided itself on hiring officers with perfect backgrounds, not even a single use of marijuana, according to city employees.

Despite getting swamped at the Oscars by The Hurt Locker, Avatar showed no sign of slowing down ($6.6M | $730.4M) while Brooklyn's Finest collapsed in its second weekend ($4.2M | $21.3M). The awful Cop Out ($4.2M | $39.4M) and the decent The Crazies ($3.6M | $33.3M) rounded out the top ten. In limited release, The Exploding Girl enjoyed a lackluster opening despite the huge publicity push for its annoying star, Zoe Kazan.

Daylight savings time, afternoon matinee and bad calls on both ends by referee Dean Morton doomed the Kings in their 3-2 loss to the Nashville Predators before 18,118 at Staples Center, the Kings’ 17th sellout of the season.

The Kings came out of the gates sleepwalking (sleep-skating?) through the opening minutes of the game. In fact the Predators had a 5-0 shot advantage after the first four minutes of the game. Their persistence paid off when Steve Sullivan scored the first goal of the game when his shot deflected off the top of Quick’s stick and into the net 4:42 into the game.

“That’s a play that he has to have,” Kings head coach Terry Murray said about Quick allowing the goal. “He just wasn’t squared to the puck.”

Nashville’s goal seemed to awaken the Kings from their extended slumber, and they suddenly became more aggressive. The Kings were awarded by getting a power play opportunity when Kevin Klein was called for a hooking penalty deep in the Nashville zone 8:12 in the period.

Anze Kopitar scored a goal 44 seconds later on an assist by Michal Handzus to notch his 32nd goal tying his career high for goals set in the 2007-08 season and giving him points in nine of his last 10 games.

They extended their smart play when they went on a penalty kill 13:35 in the first period. They were active blocking the passing lanes for the Predators and allowed only one shot on goal during the penalty while blocking a shot and getting two good hits on the Preds.

Tempers flared up early in an otherwise quiet second period when after 1:24 the Kings Richard Klune and Predators Jordin Tootoo dropped their gloves and exchanged haymakers giving them both five minute major fighting penalties. The tumultuousness gave way to both teams battling for puck control in an attempt to get something going on offense though neither team in the end did much of anything.

Also quiet were the whistles. Aside the fighting penalties in the second period and each team getting a power play opportunity in the first period, the referees and linesmen kept their whistles in their pockets.

The third period brought upon a Kings surge and they appeared to have scored a go-ahead goal 3:51 in the third period, but referee Dean Morton waved the goal off on what he said was goaltender interference on Ryan Smyth despite the fact Smyth never touched Predator’s goalie Pekka Rinne. Also puzzling was the fact that despite the interference call no penalty was assessed.

The Kings however regrouped with the captain Dustin Brown scoring his 17th goal of the season on an assist by Drew Doughty at 5:56 in the period for the go-ahead goal.

The Kings enjoyed that 2-1 lead for all of 39 seconds when Colin Wilson scored the tying goal for the Predators that was not waved off for goaltenders interference. Curiously the referee on that blown call was also Dean Morton. Quick bashed his stick against the ice in disgust.

“I don’t know how that’s a goal,” Quick said after the game clearly frustrated. “I don’t understand it one bit, and I did not get an explanation at all. The referees did not say anything - no explanation at all.”

“It’s a discretion call,” Murray said diplomatically about the blown call on the Nashville goal. “I asked for an explanation and he said he didn’t see the player going through the crease. The puck was lying there - that’s all he saw.

“I don’t know at the other end when we get the call on the goal disallowed why it’s not a goal. I don’t understand that one.”

Towards the end of the game, Quick’s blocking got a bit shaky having saved a shot up in the air that by a miracle deflected off the top of the net. Nashville’s Patric Hornqvist took advantage of a broken play with 3:31 left in the game to give the Predators the 3-2 win.

“I thought they played a pretty good game,” Murray said. “They had a great start the first ten minutes of the first period. They did a lot of things to get their game established. On the other side of it, I wished we checked a little bit better the first ten minutes and maybe managed the puck through the middle of the ice to get our game going in the offensive zone.”

“The way we approached the game today, we were lacking energy and lacking effort,” Kopitar said. “It is not the way to start a game especially against a team we have not had success against.”

“When you have a team that plays that consistently you can’t have shifts off,” Dustin Brown said with a bloody lip.

The Kings have now lost six straight games to the Predators dating back to last season and were 4-6-0 at the Staples Center coming into the game against Nashville. Nashville outshot the Kings 31-20 with Quick saving 28 shots for the Kings and Rinne saving 18 for the Predators.

“You’ve got to move on now,” Murray said. “The game is over with, and we have to know that we have to come back out with a better start to the game. What’s in front of us is pretty demanding.

“We just need to get our game in order. We need to come for sixty minutes and know the importance of every play, of every pass, of every face off. And certainly getting through the middle of the ice to get your game established in the early part is critical. It seems to be something we’re not buying into throughout this year, and we have to start to figure that part out."

A split squad of Los Angeles Dodgers tied a three game series against the Chinese Professional Baseball League All-Stars in Taiwan this weekend. The middle game was rained out (see photo above,) thus the even split of two games in three attempts. After a 11-1 victory, the Dodgers now travel back to Arizona to reunite with the other half of the team.

If you're into Romantic era pieces, the LA Phil is hosting pianist Lars Vogt this week in several performances of Grieg's Piano Concerto (the video on this post is of Arthur Rubinstein performing the first movement of this work). You can hear them perform it this week on Thursday at 8 PM, Friday at 11 AM, and Saturday at 8 PM. The program also includes works by Elgar and Lindberg (not Romantic but it will be good!).

If you like free concerts or if you're on a tight budget, the LACMA has another free concert next Sunday at 6 PM with pianist Abbey Simon performing works by Chopin.

Did you remember to move your clocks forward last night? If you live in the United States (as well as many other countries), you did. How will that affect you and other people?

Well, for one thing, you are more likely to suffer a heart attack tomorrow than on any other Monday of the year. Why?

Almost all biochemical, physiological and behavioral functions in any multicellular organism (including humans) fluctuate over the course of a day based on an internal, biological clock, called the circadian rhythm. In the early morning hours, heart rate and blood pressure slowly rise and reach a peak in the morning, at the time when we spontaneously wake up. Then, heart rate and blood pressure level off and slowly rise again throughout the day until reaching their peak in the late afternoon.

But we don't wake up spontaneously every day; we use alarm clocks. By setting your alarm every day to exactly the same time including on weekends, your circadian system will shift to be in sync with the pattern you've set. The natural increase in heart rate and blood pressure will start earlier, and will prepare you for waking up with your alarm.

But most of us don't use alarm clocks on weekends. So we spend all week resetting our natural biological clocks, but then over the weekend they shift back. And when your alarm clocks goes off on Monday morning, your body won't be prepared anymore.

The alarm - which acts as a stressor - will cause your heart rate and blood pressure to shoot up right away. The sudden shock to the heart can, if it is already damaged, lead to a heart attack.

This explains two facts: (1) more heart attacks happen on Mondays than other day of the week, and (2) heart attacks are more likely to occur in the morning, at the time of waking up, than at any other time during the day.

So what's special about the spring-forward time change Monday?

Your circadian clock shifts about 20 minutes during the weekend. Add to that the fact that your alarm clock will go off an hour earlier than last week. So the natural increases in heart rate and blood pressure will be even further behind tomorrow than after any other weekend - in fact, it will be 80 minutes behind. So the stress of the alarm will be greater, and the immediate stress-related rise in blood pressure and heart rate will be even faster and bigger than any other weekend. So if your heart is already damaged in some way, you stand a greater chance of experiencing a heart attack on the Monday following the spring-forward time change than any other Monday of the year.

Is there good news? Well, sort of. We all have experience staying up all night cramming for an exam, or partying with friends, or taking care of a sick child, or what have you. And that doesn't make you more susceptible to a heart attack. That's because the occasional night or two of reduced sleep isn't a big deal - its part of the human condition and we have adapted to the day-to-day variations in sleep duration. Just don't make a habit of it!

And don't worry: in six months, fall-back time change Monday has the lowest number of heart attacks of any other Monday of the year!

Want to learn more about the internal biological clock and how the daylight savings time change affects your body?

A memo indicates "experts who examined and test drove the car could not replicate the problems James Sikes said he encountered," and reports that in Sikes' vehicle "it does not appear to be feasibly possible, both electronically and mechanically that his gas pedal was stuck to the floor and he was slamming on the brake at the same time."

Sikes reported his 2008 Prius as being out of control on Interstate 8 near San Diego last Monday, and drove without successfully bringing the hybrid vehicle to a stop for 23 minutes until a CHP officer provided assistance. Sikes' report of applying the brakes is also now in question:

The brakes on [Sikes'] Prius also did not show wear consistent with having been applied at full force at high speeds for a long period, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday, citing three people familiar with the probe, whom it did not name. The newspaper said the brakes may have been applied intermittently.

Rumors that Sikes' claim was a stunt or a hoax began to surface soon after the incident was reported. This blog post on the Edmunds site discusses possible errors and falsehoods in both the media's reporting as well as Sikes' claims. In fact, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported the following immediately after the incident:

Sikes, a real estate agent, said he had received a recall notice for his car but was not sure what it was for. He said he had gone into the dealership, Toyota of El Cajon, and was told he was not on the recall list.

Sikes has not commented publicly regarding the recent test findings or the cries of "hoax" in response to his experience. He has said he does not plan to file suit against Toyota, and in the meantime, his wife Patty says her husband "stands by his story," and that their wish is to be left alone. "We're just fed up with all of it. Our careers are ruined and life is just not good anymore."

Fred & Ginger's 75th Anniversary Double Feature
Celebrate the 75th anniversary of the pairing of iconic silver screen dancing duo Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers with a double feature at The Egyptian. American Cinematheque is screening Top Hat and Roberta starting at 7:30. [Tickets]

A 5 - 0 victory over a college squad certainly doesn't mean the L.A. side will dominate MLS league play, but it did help demonstrate their offensive firepower. Forward Maykel Galindo stole the show with a second half hat trick, extending the 2 - 0 lead Michael Lahoud and Mario Padilla had built for the red-and-white prior to halftime.

Salvadoran International Osael Romero entered in the second half and figured heavily in Galindo's first two goals, registering two assists in the process. The first was the most impressive and came after a feed from Jorge Sueño Flores which Romero converted into a great through ball for Galindo. Gerson Mayen, Marcelo Saragosa and Sacha Kljestan helped create the other goals in the match.

Yesterday, a closed door scrimmage between Chivas USA and the Galaxy resulted in a 0 - 0 scoreline, but a second match between Durango of Santa Barbara and Chivas USA ended 5 - 1 in favor of Chivas USA. Trialist Mario Padilla led the way for Chivas USA with a hat trick.

For those keeping track at home, this is the fourth pre-season match in which Chivas USA scores five goals.

Back to Wednesday, aside from the win over UCLA, Chivas USA also formally announced the retirement of UCLA alumni and Chivas USA midfielder Sasha Victorine. Victorine began his professional career with the L.A. Galaxy, with whom he won the 2002 MLS Cup and other titles. Over his years, he established himself as a role player and a jack-of-all-trades, filling whatever role was asked of him. In 2005, Victorine was traded to the Kansas City Wizards where he played until late 2008 when he was once again traded back to L.A., but this time to Chivas USA. Recurring injuries severely limited his playing time with the red-and-white and led to his decision. He will take up a front office position with the Wizards and will also serve as their color commentator.

Although one veteran is leaving, another joins the rebaño gringo. A few weeks ago we reported on some familiar faces at pre-season camp, including that of Costa Rican International Michael Umaña. An experienced defender, Umaña has played for La Sele on 40 occasions, three of which were at the 2006 World Cup in Germany. He is also a familiar face to MLS fans, having played for the Galaxy in 2005 alongside fellow countryman Pablo Chinchilla, making 15 appearances for the blue-and-gold. Umaña went back to Costa Rica after the 2005 season but is now set to make his return to MLS after officially signing with Chivas USA this past Thursday.

Speaking about the signing, Head Coach Martin Vasquez stated "Michael has impressed us throughout preseason, and we're excited to have him join the team for 2010. He is a versatile, talented and experienced defender who is going to be an important part of our success this season."

While on the topic of new signings, the local Salvadoran community continues to rally in support of their countrymen Romero and Mayen. Romero is a recent acquisition, but Mayen has much deeper roots with the red-and-white. Mayen worked his way through Chivas USA's youth ranks before joining the first team in 2008. In 2009 he made his first appearance and his assists were instrumental in multiple Chivas USA victories. Born to Salvadoran parents, the native Angeleno has also played with the U.S. U-20 squad, most recently in Egypt for the U-20 World Cup in September of last year.

This afternoon, members of the Salvadoran Community Corridor will recognize their efforts on and off the field in a ceremony at West Adams Prep High School. State Senator Gil Cedillo and Walter Duran of the El Salvador General Consulate office in Los Angeles are expected at the ceremonies. Details follow.

Where: West Adams Prep High School, 1500 West Washington Boulevard, Los Angeles

Why is Pi day on March 14? Because, if you round, then Pi = 3.14, which of course is March 14. March 14 at 1:59 is known as "Pi minute" (3.14159) and 1:59:26 is "Pi second."

Want to impress your friends at your Pi Day celebrations tomorrow?

Here are a few random tidbits that we scraped together:

(1) The Guinness-recognized record for remembered digits of π is 67,890 digits, held by Lu Chao, a 24-year-old graduate student from China. It took him 24 hours and 4 minutes to recite to the 67,890th decimal place of π without an error.

(2) March 14 also happens to be Albert Einstein's birthday.

(3) The first Pi Day celebration was held at the San Francisco Exploratorium in 1988, with staff and public marching around one of its circular spaces, and then consuming fruit pies; the museum has since added pizza pies to its Pi Day menu.

(4) The coordinate (Pi, Pi) in latitude and longitude is in the sea just off the west coast of Africa, in the Gulf of Guinea. Check it out on Google Maps.

But you don't have to have a particular (or peculiar) love for math to celebrate Pi Day in style! We here at LAist headquarters plan to celebrate with Pi's homophonic sibling, pie. (check out Citysearch's list of five LA pies to try). Even better, Marie Callender's is giving away free slices of pie (with the purchase of any entree) on the 14th.

We may even take our pies home, and watch Pi (the movie).

This accident, discovered by Cal/OSHA in September, precedes a similar fatal accident by a full year; in November 2008 UCLA staff research assistant Sheharbano "Sheri" Sangji "suffered burns that took her life and prompted a campuswide review of lab safety."

UCLA's labs are now the target of much scrutiny by Cal/OSHA, who have cited the campus for "inadequate safety training" as well as infractions pertaining to "safety gear [and] the storage of chemicals and inspections." Both the 2007 and 2008 accidents involved lab workers who were not wearing appropriate protective lab coats. UCLA largely disputes Cal/OSHA's findings, though they did pay the $31,000 fine with which they were charged following Sangji's fatal accident.

The quirky, and sometimes questionable, funicular transport known as the world's shortest railway, Downtown's Angel's Flight, has been poised to re-open for what seems like ages. It was just this past Thursday when its operating foundation said they had passed the necessary safety inspection and had the green light to resume moving people up and down Bunker Hill, though would not give a date.

Today, however, came word that Angel's Flight will begin service on Monday March 15th--much sooner than many anticipated. While this re-opening date has been published on the PictureTrail tribute website, that particular website will be updated following this week's launch*.

So, now that Angels Flight is re-opening...who will be taking a ride?

Instead, written in the style of renowned biographer David McCullough, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter works remarkably well as a parody of historical biographies. Any student who has had to slog through thick and dusty tomes will appreciate the comic subtlety of the fabricated photographs and footnotes.

You can even learn a few fun facts about the life of our 16th President while enjoying the book, as long as you remember to sort out the apocryphal stories (Lincoln grew a beard to hide a vampire-slaying injury, and wore the long coat to hide his vampire-slaying axe).

Real events in Lincoln's life are interwoven with the mythical, attributing his mother's death (and many more to come) to vampires. But it is his mother's death that is the impetus for his axe-wielding vengeance.

The author ingeniously leads you into the world of vampires through a present-day character who is made privy to Lincoln’s secret diaries, in the style of Danielewsky's House of Leaves.

The tone of Abraham Lincoln’s own writing is imitated so well it is sometimes difficult to tell where the real Lincoln leaves off and the novel begins. Grahame-Smith is a descriptive writer who allows you to get lost in the story, even one this outlandish. It is engrossing to the point where at times you may be startled if anyone walks into the room while you are reading.

The book is such a fun read, it’s kind of disappointing when the overall storyline is revealed, exposing the "real" reason behind Lincoln’s battle for abolition.

In spite of the somewhat forced and uncomfortable allusion between vampires and slavery, the book manages to keep you on its side. It’s a good vacation read or useful prop to carry into jury duty. The book jacket depicts Lincoln holding a severed head behind his back. Display it prominently and that should definitely keep you from being chosen as a juror.

According to Deadline Hollywood, directors Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov are already interested in bringing Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter to the big screen (Pride and Predjudice and Zombies is already in the works starring Natalie Portman). There is even an app for those thirsty for more of Honest Abe.

Our Pick: Smith Westerns, Young Veins, Michael Runion, Pearl Harbor @ The Echo (Early Show; 5 PM)

Tonight the City of Brotherly Love's own dream pop sextet A Sunny Day in Glasgow will be headlining the Mint with none other than local act Pollyn in tow. Prolific San Franciscan psych-infused rock outfit the Fresh & Onlys are poised to take over Spaceland. Extra Life, a Brooklyn-bred experimental rock act who bear loose associations with the Dirty Projectors, will be performing down the street at Echo Curio. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echo early this afternoon to catch Chicago-bred garage rock outfit Smith Westerns (LAist Review). LAist favorites, local "retro-leaning" pop rock quintet the Young Veins, which of course features not one, but two former members of Panic! At The Disco, are slated to kick things off.

You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which goes up every Sunday.

Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day, so in addition to the green beer and cheeky pinching, if you want to try your luck with Irish cooking between now and the 17th, recipes aren't anywhere near as hard to come by as that elusive four-leaf clover.

The classic dish of St. Patty's Day is often Corned Beef & Cabbage. We'll tell you how, and even some ancient Celtic wisdom on the subject: "The secret is to cook the corned beef in the oven, and to cook the vegetables separately. That keeps them from becoming greasy."

And if Corned Beef & Cabbage doesn't make you do a jig--or you're looking to put on a mighty big spread, how about recipes for Irish fare like Beef Braised in Guinness, Dee's Potato Bread, Colcannon, and Almond Tartlets.

Happy cooking! And, as the Irish saying goes: "As you slide down the banister of life,
May the splinters never point in the wrong direction!"

A midday workout ended in cuts and bruises for a woman who was the victim of a sexual assault attempt in Malibu, according to the Huffington Post.

The woman "told deputies she had finished a run at about noon at Point Dume State Beach and was standing at the edge of a cliff when she was grabbed from behind. She says she and the man struggled for several minutes before she was able to break away. That's when the woman ran and jumped off the cliff."

The suspect then fled in the woman's vehicle, a Toyota Land Cruiser. The woman was taken to the hospital to be treated for her injuries.

In the wake of Haim's death, and as part of what's described as "an ongoing crackdown on prescription-drug fraud and abuse," Attorney General Jerry Brown announced yesterday his office is investigating an "illegal and massive prescription-drug ring" with ties to Haim, according to a press release.

38-year-old Haim's link to the ring comes via an unauthorized prescription found in his name "during an ongoing investigation of fraudulent prescription-drug pads ordered from a vendor in San Diego." These pads are ordered using fraudulent and stolen doctor's information; the medical professionals are "usually unaware that his or her identity has been stolen for this purpose."

So far, "more than 4,500 to 5,000 fraudulent prescriptions linked to the fraud ring in Southern California" have been uncovered.

1) Author Michael Walker will read and discuss his book, Laurel Canyon, The Inside Story of Rock n' Roll's Legendary Neighborhood, now in its tenth printing. As The New York Times once wrote about the book, which captures the L.A. neighborhood circa the 1960s, it is "a winding, inviting...portrait of a bohemian quarter that played a prominent role in the foundation of rock music." 1 p.m. at Bookstar.

2) If you're a parent, guardian or babysitter feeling particularly spiritual today, we suggest hitting Santa Monica's main library for a children's book reading and signing with Dr. Deepak Chopra (I know, right?) and illustrator Dave Zaboski. The two will read and sign their book, You With the Stars in Your Eyes. 11 A.M.

3) At Book Soup, cookbook authors Eric Lechasseur and Sanae Suzuki present and sign Love, Eric & Sanae: Seasonal Vegan Macrobiotic Cuisine. "Cuisine" being the operative word. If these two meatless wonders can make this difficult diet into something craveable (as Madonna and Tobey Maguire claim), sign us up.

Toast Mr. Toast
If it involves the Grilled Cheese Truck, we're there. If it's grilled cheese and beer, we're doubly there. If it's grilled cheese + PBR + hangin' at JapanLA, a celebration of Mr. Toast, goodie bags, an art show and merch sale...need we say it? 7-10 p.m.

'Band from TV' Concert
Band from TV is made of a motley crew of actors-turned-rockstars who jam together not just for our listening and viewing pleasure, but for the benefit of various charities as well. To be specific, the rockers include Greg Grunberg, Adrian Pasdar, Jack Coleman and James Kyson Lee from NBC’s “Heroes”, Jesse Spencer from FOX’s “House”, Bob Guiney from ABC’s “The Bachelor” and Scott Grimes from NBC’s “ER." In a somewhat Tiffany-esque move, they're playing at the grand opening of Loehmann's in Costa Mesa tonight. Purchase tickets here.

The last in a series of regional give-away days, the donated seedlings (what, you think the LAUSD pays for them?) today will get in the ground at schools in East Los Angeles and elsewhere in the LAUSD.

And while news that kids will soon get to interact with and learn from these infant heirloom tomatoes, lettuce, basil, begonia and snap dragon plants is most useful to the teachers and program volunteers who should head to Multnomah Elementary [map] today at noon, it's also a good FYI for those who are excited to know the seeds of change are being sown here in our LAUSD schools.

Just a quick heads-up (before I dive in and do a full review), the W Hollywood Hotel is welcoming its latest contribution to the H'wood nightlife scene: Drai's Hollywood.

The poised-to-be hotspot boasts 20,000 square feet of views of Hollywood. The restaurant--helmed by chef Claude Segal--seats 120, exterior or interior, cabana or poolside. Can't wait to check it out myself!

The Hollywood sign, like Hollywood itself--is apparently not immune to the usual power plays.

According to the LA Times, a Beverly Hills 'supergraphics' firm called SkyTag is offering the city $12.5 million to preserve 138 acres of undeveloped land near the Hollywood sign. Before you think they're incredibly generous, there's a catch.

The company has been engaged in a legal battle with the city over its signs all over town, from Westwood to Koreatown. They're hoping the 'little' financial incentive will convince officials to settle the lawsuit over its existing signs.

So far a federal judge has blocked the city from removing its supergraphics at 20 locations (enraging people in those neighborhoods). But don't call them winners yet. Two Hollywood officials have already 'nayed' the blood-money-for-land proposal from SkyTag.

I would have to be one of those enraged people. LA is my home town and seeing it exploiting makes me sick to my stomach. Like we need more ads and signs. Other opinions are welcome.

Barack Obama, Barbra Streisand and Madonna are just some of the high profile figures immortalized in cartoon form by Israeli artist Hanoch Piven, currently on display at the Skirball Cultural Center.

Sixteen large-scale photographs of Piven's caricature collage sculptures (made of bananas, toy trucks, light bulbs and Barbie® dolls) make up the 'I Make Faces' show, which runs through July 11.

The fabulous news of Pinkberry's newest fro-yo flavor comes on the heels of my own revelations about the miracle of mangos (along with some of my fellow food scribes), so it's extra-special.

Everybody's favorite LA frozen yogurt biz, Pinkberry is unveiling its new mango flavor this Friday (at its stores city- and nation- wide). To celebrate, they're hosting Mad About Mango Happy Hour, from 5 to 9 p.m. on the 12th.

If you go into a Pinkberry (my fave is the new one at the mini-mall on Sunset and Crescent Heights) between those hours, you'll get a free mini-sized mango dessert with toppings. There will also be in-store games to win prizes like Mad About Mango T's.

Last night was LA's annual night to shine, the Oscars (which one sarcastically funny tweeter called "The Botox Parade"). So we now know who the Oscar Winners are...upsets, predictables, etc.

• Best Picture: The Hurt Locker - not incredibly shocking after Bigelow picked up Best Director...almost kind of anti-climactic the way it was read immediately and dead-pan sans usual pomp and circumstance

• Best Director: Katherine Bigelow (The Hurt Locker) - a thrill for women as she was the first, but also a major victory over notoriously cocky, self-congratulatory ex-hubby James Cameron
• Best Actress: Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side) - not blind-sided, we all saw it coming...it's called 'Oscar buzz'
• Best Actor: Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart) - it's been a long time coming and we love him, good ol' California boy that he is, and, hey, the dude abided and was channeled in his speech--guess Lebowski was an in-character role for him
• Best Supporting Actress: Mo'Nique (Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire) - love when a mono-moniker person wins
• Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz (Inglorious Basterds) - Hollywood loves Austrians (right Arnold and Wolfgang?)
• Best Screenwriter: Geoffrey Fletcher (Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire) - I've got to see this film, it looks intense and amazing

Here is the full list of winners and nominees.

And on to the mini-scandal of the night. In the wake of the year of the celebrity death (2009), the Oscars notorious memorial video leaves out Farrah Fawcett.

The Huffington Post reported this but cited her renown as a TV star (and not film). I agree, Dr. T. and the Women, and hey, even her small role in the revolutionary '60s transgender film Myra Breckinridge, should have qualified her. What a diss, Academy.
