$1.5-Billion Gerold Desmond Bridge Replacement Rises at Port of Long Beach
High above the Port of Long Beach, two tower cranes are busy assembling the new Gerold Desmond Bridge.
The existing bridge, built in the 1960s, was not designed to accommodate the larger cargo ships seen today. The $1.5-billion replacement, set for completion in 2019, will accommodate larger ships by providing 205 feet of clearance above the water, as well as three travel lanes in each direction and a bicycle and pedestrian path with multiple scenic overlooks.
The cable-stayed bridge will be supported by two towers - each rising 515 feet. At completion, it the new Gerold Desmond Bridge will be the second-tallest cable-stayed bridge in the United States.
Construction is being funded by multiple sources, including Caltrans, the Port of Long Beach, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and Metro.
Long Beach has been connected with Terminal Island at the center of the port since the early 20th century, originally by a single-track railroad bridge, which was later replaced by a 187-foot bascule drawbridge. Though that structure was removed in the mid-1930s, a pontoon bridge was later constructed in the years leading up to World War II to provide access to a Navy Station on Terminal Island. The pontoon bridge, though built as a temporary connection, ultimately stayed in place until the existing Gerold Desmond Bridge was completed in 1968.

Yoox launches own-brand 8 By Yoox

Tuesday, November 06 2018
Luxury online retailer Yoox has launched its own-brand, 8 by Yoox, otherwise known as Otto in Italian, which will feature essential every-day wear for both men and women.
The bi-annual capsule collection will be powered by artificial intelligence alongside the retailer’s unique creative flair, stated Yoox.
Federico Marchetti, founder of Yoox and chief executive of Yoox Net-A-Porter Group, said in a statement: “We are always exploring the frontier between Human and Machine; it’s been part of our DNA since I invented Yoox in 1999.
“Today we are combining the latest artificial intelligence with the human spirit and creative talent of our design team. Technology is usually invisible to the customer; 8 by Yoox makes it desirable and tangible.”
The collections will offer “stylish essential” using proprietary artificial intelligence tools to review content from across social media and online magazines in key markets with a particular focus on fashion influencers, explained the brand. The Yoox design teams will then use predictive indicators that explore trends across lifestyle and fashion and data research from customer feedback and industry purchasing trends as a starting point of each collection.
The idea Yoox said is to “tap into the pulse” of its customers, with every detail such as shape trends to colours, sleeve lengths, neckline shapes, fabrics, textures, heel heights and price points, used as inspiration by the design team before any items for the collection are conceived.
The collection will consist of easy-to-wear essentials that are timeless in style and designed to adapt to an individual wearer’s body contours thanks to the silhouettes chosen, added Yoox, with the debut collection offering T-shirts, jackets, coats, dresses, trousers and sweaters in a neutral colour palette to create a “versatile look”.
The autumn/winter 2018-19 collection will debut on Yoox on November 6 and will be followed by the spring/summer 2019 collection in January 2019.

100-Unit Affordable Housing Development Under Construction in Willowbrook
Earlier this year, LINC Housing broke ground on Springhaven, a mixed-use affordable housing development near Metro's Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Station.
The project, located at 1854 E. 118th Street, is replacing a parking lot attached to the MLK Medical Campus. Plans call for a six-story edifice that will feature 100 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, of which half will be reserved for previously homeless individuals and families, and the remainder of which will be set aside for families earning 60 percent or less than the area median income.
"Springhaven is part of LINC Housing’s effort to integrate affordable housing with health resources and other services," said Rebecca Clark, president and CEO of LINC Housing. "We know from experience that providing secure housing with health-related and other supportive services helps build strong neighborhoods. Los Angeles County and the Willowbrook community have made housing a top priority, and LINC is proud to partner with them to bring this beautiful new building to the area."
Orange County-based architecture firm D33 Design is designing Springhaven, which is portrayed as a contemporary low-rise structure featuring common amenities including an exercise room, a container garden program, and a computer lab.
The $52-million development is to be completed in late 2020.
Springhaven is rising directly across the street from The Gateway, a $44-million senior affordable housing development which was recently completed by Thomas Safran & Associates.

Demolition underway to build Frank Gehry’s next Downtown LA project
As anticipated, demolition has begun on a parking structure east of the Walt Disney Concert Hall to prepare the site for construction of a major mixed-use development designed by Frank Gehry.
Photos taken this morning of the Bunker Hill property by photographer Sterling Davis show that a good chunk of the structure has already come down, but there’s much more to go.
The $1 billion project, dubbed The Grand, will include a 20-story hotel, retail and entertainment, and a 39-story residential tower with 128 condos, 214 market-rate apartments, and 86 affordable housing units.
The Grand is developed by Related Companies and the China-based CORE US, a partnership between China Harbour Engineering Company and CCCG Overseas Real Estate.
Related has said it expects to wrap up construction in 2021.
The Grand is part of the Grand Avenue Project, a multi-parcel project that also includes the Emerson apartment tower and Grand Park.

U.S. transportation department says it’s pulling funding for high-speed rail
The U.S. Department of Transportation announced Tuesday that it was pulling nearly $1 billion in federal funding from California’s high-speed rail project, following through with a threat from President Donald Trump to defund the project.
In a press release, the department also said it was “actively exploring every legal option” to get back $2.5 billion already spent on the “now-defunct project.”
Last week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in his “state of the state” address that his administration would focus on building out the train line between Bakersfield and Merced, leaving a long-promised connection between Los Angeles and San Francisco for later.
“Right now there simply isn’t a path to get from Sacramento to San Diego—let alone from San Francisco to LA,” the governor said.
The speech led many to conclude Newsom was scrapping the project entirely—including Trump, who tweeted last week that the state “has been forced to cancel the massive bullet train project.”
In the same tweet, Trump argued that the state should give back all federal money committed to the project.
“We want that money back now,” he wrote.
Newsom later clarified his position on the train. A spokesperson for the governor told Curbed that the state of the state address was aimed at “refocusing and reprioritizing” the project “to get a finished section from Bakersfield to Merced.”
In a letter to the California High Speed Rail Authority, federal railroad administrator Ronald Batory argues that the state has “failed to make reasonable progress” on the project and has not met benchmarks key to completing the train on time.
Batory also highlights Newsom’s speech, calling his plan for the project “a significant retreat from the state’s initial vision.”
According to the letter, California will have until March 5 to challenge the decision.
A representative for Newsom did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

160,000-Square-Foot Office Campus Takes Shape in Del Rey
Nearly one year after breaking ground at 4800 Alla Road, a six-acre office campus is taking form in Del Rey.
The Del Rey Campus, which replaced a former Teledyne facility near the terminus of the SR-90 Freeway, consists of multiple two- and three-story buildings featuring a combined 162,000 square feet of office space. A parking structure being built along the southern property line will provide storage for up to 631 vehicles.
Designed by Gensler, the campus will include a central landscaped courtyard, in addition to other common green spaces and amenities. Renderings depict the tilt-up concrete buildings with contemporary finishes and open interiors.
Project delivery is expected in early 2020, according to leasing materials.
The Del Rey Campus is a joint venture between Continental Development Corporation and Mar Ventures, Inc. The two firms previously built a similar project in El Segundo.

Estas son las casas más caras que se han vendido en Los Ángeles
La reciente venta de nueve cifras de “The Manor” en Holmby Hills ha elevado el récord de precios del condado de Los Ángeles más allá de la estratosfera, pero es sólo el último número sorprendente para un mercado de gama alta que ha visto su parte justa de mega acuerdos a través de los años. He aquí una mirada a las ventas más caras de Los Ángeles históricamente.
Un nuevo líder
La heredera de Fórmula Uno, Petra Ecclestone, y un comprador misterioso hicieron historia este mes con la venta récord de $119.75 millones de “The Manor” en Holmby Hills.
Apodada Candyland por su antigua dueña Candy Spelling, viuda del productor Aaron Spelling, la extensa residencia mide 56.500 pies cuadrados, unos 1.500 pies cuadrados más grande que la Casa Blanca, con 14 habitaciones y 27 baños.
La mansión cuenta con más de 120 habitaciones que fueron personalizadas para propósitos específicos mientras los Spelling fueron dueños de la propiedad. Entre ellas había una sala para corte de flores, otra de almacenamiento de plata con humedad controlada, una barbería y varias salas de envoltura de regalos.
Un salón/entrada forrado en mármol de rayas negras, un gran acuario en el estudio y una discoteca renovada en el nivel del sótano son algunas de las adiciones introducidas por Ecclestone. Lo que una vez fue un cuarto usado específicamente para la colección de muñecas de Candy Spelling se convirtió en un salón de belleza y sala de masajes.
Entre la espada y una buena oferta
El cofundador de Hard Rock Cafe, Peter Morton, vendió en 2018 su casa frente al mar en Pacific Coast Highway al multimillonario de gas natural Michael S. Smith y su esposa, Iris Smith, por 110 millones de dólares.
Un deseable lote de medio acre en la Playa de los Multimillonarios es el principal atractivo de la propiedad, que consta de dos estructuras y tiene 100 pies de frente a la playa.
Diseñada por el arquitecto Richard Meier, la casa principal y la de huéspedes cuentan con revestimiento de madera de teca, persianas y ventanas automatizadas y balcones envolventes que dan al mar. Las dos casas suman alrededor de 8.000 pies cuadrados de espacio habitable con siete dormitorios y nueve baños.
El terreno incluye una piscina y un patio.
Haciendo una jugada por la Mansión Playboy
En 2016, Los Ángeles fue el escenario central de uno de los circos inmobiliarios más grandes de la historia reciente. El listado de la Mansión Playboy en Holmby Hills atrajo el interés de un elenco de personajes que incluía al editor de Hustler Larry Flynt, al creador de Beacher’s Madhouse Jeff Beacher e incluso al actor Charlie Sheen.
Finalmente, fue Daren Metropoulos, hijo del multimillonario inversionista C. Dean Metropoulos y director de la firma de inversiones Metropoulos & Co. quien hizo historia en bienes raíces con una compra de $100 millones.
La casa y el espacio de trabajo de Hugh Hefner fueron diseñados por Arthur R. Kelly con estilo tudor gótico y terminados en 1927. La casa de 29 habitaciones incluye cocinas para chefs y catering, una sala de juegos y una sala de proyecciones con un órgano de tubos integrado. Doce dormitorios se encuentran en al menos 20.000 pies cuadrados de espacio habitable; la suite principal se extiende a lo largo de dos pisos.
Sumándose a su mística, la finca también se encuentra entre un selecto número de casas de Los Ángeles que cuentan con una licencia de zoológico. Se sabe que los pavos reales albinos y otros animales deambulan libremente por los terrenos tipo parque. Los aviarios y arboretos albergan una colección de aves y monos exóticos.
Espacios de comercio, literalmente
En 2018, el fundador de Platinum Equity y dueño de los Detroit Pistons, Tom Gores, aprovechó sus propias propiedades para obtener una mega-mansión en otro acuerdo de 100 millones de dólares.
En la compleja transacción Gores comerció con varias de sus propias propiedades en lugar de financiar o hacer una compra en efectivo. Como parte del acuerdo, retuvo una participación en las otras propiedades en caso de que se desarrollen o vendan.
Lo que Gores adquirió en las ventas fue un moderno escaparate de más de 30.000 pies cuadrados. Desarrollada por Gala Asher y Ed Berman, la mansión se encuentra en un terreno donde Barbra Streisand una vez tuvo una casa.
La propiedad incluye varias casas de huéspedes y cuenta con 10 dormitorios y 20 baños. Sólo la suite principal tiene más de 5.000 pies cuadrados, casi el doble del tamaño de una casa unifamiliar promedio en los Estados Unidos.
Repartiendo unos cuantos millones
En el año 2000, el propietario de Dole Food Co., David Murdock, y el financiero Gary Winnick cerraron un acuerdo de 94 millones de dólares que se convertiría en el récord de precios del condado durante más de una década.
La pieza central de la transacción fue la finca trofeo de 8.4 acres de Murdock, conocida como Casa Encantada. Construida en la década de 1930 para la heredera de la fabricación de vidrio Hilda Boldt Weber, el inmueble fue posteriormente propiedad del fundador de Hilton Hotels, Conrad Hilton, durante tres décadas a partir de 1950.
La propiedad, situada en la cima de una loma, colinda con varios hoyos en el privado Bel-Air Country Club e incluye una piscina, una casa de piscina y una cancha de tenis. Los 28.725 pies cuadrados de espacio de construcción tienen siete dormitorios y 20 baños, de acuerdo con los registros de impuestos.
Un asunto repleto de estrellas
Owlwood, que una vez fue el hogar del actor Tony Curtis y más tarde del dúo de cantantes Sonny y Cher, podría ascender en la lista después de volver al mercado por 110 millones de dólares. Pero por ahora, está en la lista por 90 millones de dólares, el precio de venta en 2016 a un grupo de desarrollo encabezado por el ex jefe de Woodbridge Luxury Homes, Robert Shapiro.
El nuevo listado viene después de que Shapiro fuera arrestado a principios de este año; se le acusa de estafar a miles de inversores en un esquema Ponzi de 1.300 millones de dólares que impulsó su lujoso estilo de vida. Owlwood se encuentra entre las propiedades de Woodbridge que están siendo liquidadas para pagar a los inversores.
Ubicada en aproximadamente 10 acres, la residencia se centra en una mansión de 12.200 pies cuadrados estilo Revival Italiano que cuenta con nueve recámaras. Dos casas de huéspedes, un par de puertas de entrada y una cancha de tenis también se encuentran en el terreno.
En 2002, el fundador de Ameriquest Capital Corp., Roland Arnall, y su esposa, Dawn, adquirieron la casa junto con dos propiedades adyacentes, las antiguas casas de la actriz Jayne Mansfield y la actriz y nadadora Esther Williams, que fueron absorbidas por la propiedad de Owlwood.
Las residencias Mansfield y Williams fueron demolidas más tarde, aunque la casa de piscina y la piscina de 70 pies de largo de la antigua casa de Williams fueron conservadas.
Guerra de precios multimillonaria
Una vez considerada la primera venta de vivienda de 100 millones de dólares en el condado de Los Ángeles, el acuerdo de Fleur de Lys en 2014 en realidad estableció el precio de la propiedad en 88.3 millones de dólares. La disparidad, revelada pocos meses después de una ráfaga inicial de publicidad, puede ser atribuida al arte invaluable y a los muebles antiguos negociados fuera del precio de cierre.
No menos de tres multimillonarios participaron en una guerra de ofertas para asegurar la propiedad de cinco acres, con el trato en efectivo cerrándose en 10 días.
La vendedora, la mujer de sociedad Suzanne Saperstein, construyó la residencia de 50.000 pies cuadrados con su entonces esposo, el fundador de Metro Networks, David Saperstein. Construida en 2002, la finca se inspiró en el Vaux-le-Victome, un palacio en las afueras de París, y cuenta con techos de paneles de hojas de oro, bloques de piedra caliza importados y un salón de baile con capacidad para 500 personas.
Los 4.6 acres de terreno incluyen dos patios de estacionamiento, un complejo de piscina y spa y una cancha de tenis.
Jay y Bey vuelven a casa
Después de coquetear con numerosas propiedades de Los Ángeles durante años, la poderosa pareja del hip-hop Jay-Z y Beyoncé finalmente causó sensación en el mercado en 2017, pagando 88 millones de dólares por una mansión moderna construida sobre la base de la especulación.
Escondido detrás de muros y puertas, el escaparate monolítico es una superestrella por derecho propio con seis estructuras que se combinan para ofrecer cerca de 30.000 pies cuadrados de espacio interior. Las características incluyen una instalación de spa y bienestar, una sala de medios y cuatro piscinas al aire libre. Las puertas y ventanas de la casa están forradas con vidrio a prueba de balas.
También dentro del complejo de aproximadamente dos acres hay una cancha completa de baloncesto y cuartos separados para el personal. Dispone de un garaje para 15 vehículos, así como de un patio para autos y una zona de estacionamiento para el personal.

A Rare Opportunity to "Ask a CD-14 Officeholder about ........, about Multiple Claims of Workplace Misconduct".
The Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council's Monterey Hills Local Issues Committee presents a planned, Rare Chance/Opportunity to "Ask a CD-14 Officeholder (and Council Candidate Wife?) about Issues ........ pertaining to Multiple Claims of Workplace Misconduct (or maybe not?)"
Will embattled CD-14 City Councilman Jose Huizar (with Candidate Wife) follow-through on his/her planned (in advance) ASNC Monterey Hills Meet and Greet?
** Blogger's Notes: For the Love of Political Timing.
Just two days after the disclosure of the Third Claim of Workplace Misconduct against CD-14 City Councilman Jose Huizar, the ASNC Monterey Hills Local Issues Committee, in cooperation with the MICRO-managed Staff of "Team Huizar (comprised of Jose and #Richellary2020)", present Stakeholders the Rare Opportunity/Chance to .........., "Ask a CD-14 Officeholder (and Candidate Wife?) about "Issues".
As a bloggin Public Service (in solidarity with the still mystical #MeToo Movement CD-14 Chapter), we present Cut and Paste Excerpts from the Formal Complaint of former Staffer Mayra Alvarez, in the hope that Stakeholders (and especially the very real #MeToo Enablers of CD-14, some named below), will take advantage of a Rare Opportunity (normally prioritize for Developers/Special Interests) to engage in what will be ........., as always, a choreographed dialog (Disclaimer: if Jose and Candidate Wife decide to show)-----Scott Johnson.
** For Monterey Hills Neighbor (and Hermon Activist) Wendi Riser ............, Mrs. Alvarez endured a tremendous amount of angst and stress on account of her employment with Huizar. For instance, while staffing Huizar at an event in 2014, his brother groped Mrs. Alvarez by grabbing her butt in front of dozens of onlookers—Huizar among them. She was violated and humiliated. Mrs. Alvarez wanted to report the incident, but did not want to jeopardize her job or standing with Huizar, nor suffer any retaliation. And Huizar lobbied Mrs. Alvarez to keep the matter quiet, since it might negatively impact the public’s perception of him. So she did.
** For El Sereno Bicentennial Committee Parade Organizer (and former Huizar Staffer) Genny Guerrero .........., In or about this same time, February 2017, Mrs. Alvarez became aware that Huizar was engaged in another extramarital affair with a City staffer. This caused friction in the office because many staffers, Mrs. Alvarez among them, believed that Huizar’s mistress received more favorable treatment from him with respect to assignments and more leniency with respect to deadlines and attendance. Moreover, Huizar would tell certain male staffers that they could not work with his mistress, which constrained their ability to take on projects for which they would otherwise be responsible and eager to execute.
** For Boyle Heights Activist and former LAPD Hollenbeck Division CPAB Co-chair Mago Amador .............., Mrs. Alvarez graduated from high school in June 2012, but was soon approached by Godoy with another job offer. In or about July 2012, Godoy offered Mrs. Alvarez a position to help plan the events surrounding the unveiling of the statute of Antonio Aguilar statute at El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument, which she accepted. Mrs. Alvarez worked closely with Godoy for several months, even sharing office space with her, and was aware of Huizar’s extramarital affair with her.
** For Highland Park Business Owner Yolanda Nogueira .........., One day, in October 2017, Huizar even threw a heavy 4-inch binder at Mrs.Alvarez. Huizar had returned from a City Council meeting and was complaining that Mrs. Alvarez was purportedly late in bringing his scheduling request binder (and hot tea) down to him in chambers. So, Huizar walked past Mrs. Alvarez’s desk and barked, “Next time, have my book down to me on time!”—and then threw the binder at Mrs. Alvarez and hit her in the chest with it. Two other senior staffers witnessed the incident and, like Mrs. Alvarez, were appalled by Huizar’s behavior.
The Charter Founders (of the CD-14 and National respective) Chapters of the #MeToo Enablers (with Uber-Political Aspirations). Who will be the Selfless Leaders of a true #MeToo Movement in CD-14?
Labels: #Richellary2020, CD-14 City Councilman Jose Huizar, Mayra Alvarez, Sexual Harassment

Nov. 1, 1947: UCLA Ruffians Kidnap USC’s George Tirebiter!
Note: This is an encore post from 2005 and originally appeared on the 1947project.
The assault on USC’s campus canine prompted angry letters to The Times and a pointed barb on the sports pages. “Whoever did that had a warped mind,” columnist Braven Dyer said.
Of course, the Trojans were up to the challenge and shortly before the schools’ annual grudge match, painted the Westwood campus with slogans like “George Tirebiter’s Revenge.” The scoreboard was vandalized to read: “USC 1,000, UCLA 0.” The actual score was much closer. USC, which at that point was unbeaten, defeated UCLA 6-0 and went to the Rose Bowl, although it subsequently lost its homecoming game to Notre Dame 38-7.
As for the unpleasantness on New Year’s Day, 1948, USC was devastated 49-0 by the Michigan Wolverines, a game that remains the worst defeat in USC history.
George Tirebiter, who got his nickname from chasing cars near the USC campus, died in 1950 while pursuing a car in El Centro, where he had been sent after becoming a little too aggressive. The Times obituary reports that his paw prints were in concrete at the north entrance to the campus.
Bonus factoid: George Tirebiter’s middle name was Torres.
Quote of the day: “I don’t like you. You are not a good American.”
New Yorker cartoonist Peter Arno, before sticking a gun in the stomach of a doorman at the Drake Hotel in New York.

Woolsey Fire map: See where the 70,000-acre wildfire is burning
The Woolsey Fire broke out Thursday afternoon near Simi Valley, and by Saturday morning, it had consumed an estimated 70,000 acres in Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
Fueled on Friday by low humidity and gusty winds, the fire is now steadily blazing through Malibu and neighboring canyon communities, as well as the San Fernando Valley neighborhood of West Hills, where mandatory evacuations are in place.
As images of smoldering houses suggest, there has been “significant structural loss,” Los Angeles County Fire Department Fire Chief Daryl Osby said Friday afternoon.
But there are no estimates yet for the number of homes that have been destroyed.
The path and perimeter of a fast-moving wildfire can be difficult to track. But with the help of a couple of maps, it’s easier to see where this fire is burning and get a handle on how much the two counties have been affected in just a short amount of time.
(Click here for live updates of the Woolsey Fire as it tears through Los Angeles.)
The map immediately below is a Los Angeles Fire Department map that shows the fire’s massive perimeter as well as mandatory and voluntary evacuation zones.
The shaded yellow area represents the perimeter of the volatile fire. Mandatory evacuation zones are outlined in red; far fewer are the orange sections, which represent voluntary evacuation zones.
Below is a map created by ABC7 using information from the California Office of Emergency Services, which tracks active wildfires in the state. (It takes about a minute to load.)

Fourth of July earthquake rattles LA—where was the early warning?
A long, rolling earthquake that splashed water out of swimming pools and rippled through social media rocked the LA region on Fourth of July morning.
Although people across Southern California—and all the way to Las Vegas—reported feeling the quake, which was strong enough to sway chandeliers and make national headlines, there was no alert from the city’s early warning app, which became available at the end of 2018.
The 6.4 quake was epicentered near Ridgecrest, California, in a remote part of Kern County about 100 miles from LA, and was among the largest to hit Southern California since the Northridge earthquake of 1994. Some damage to buildings and roads was reported.
But the app did not send an alert before the earthquake and did not even show the event on the apps “recent earthquakes” screens. On the city’s website, the recent earthquake page showed today’s earthquake, in addition to other smaller ones.
At a January press conference for the early warning app, city representatives said the app, named ShakeAlertLA, was intended to send an alert to local residents for earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 and above when shaking is felt in Los Angeles County.
But Angelenos who had downloaded the alert system posted screengrabs of their apps, wondering why those parameters wouldn’t have included a 6.4 earthquake that was felt across the county.
Los Angeles deputy mayor Jeff Gorell said in a tweet that the system was designed to send an alert only for events when the LA-area shaking intensity is 5.0 or higher, regardless of the earthquake’s magnitude. “You will not get a warning every time there is shaking,” he said in a separate tweet. “Only if it’s dangerous.”
The shaking intensity in LA County was below 4.5, and for most areas was only an intensity of 2 or 3, USGS confirmed.
A subsequent tweet from the City of Los Angeles’s account said that the city will lower the alert threshold with USGS.
Although the city’s app did not send an alert, a different app named Quake Alert, which is in use by some commercial organizations and will be launched statewide this summer, gave some LA beta testers up to a minute’s warning today.
Josh Bashioum of Early Warning Labs, the Santa Monica-based company that’s developing the QuakeAlert app, says the city’s warning system should have sent an alert to Angelenos who have the app on their phone.
“It should have worked,” Bashioum tells Curbed. “The app says they will only alert people in Los Angeles County, but they need to alert them for earthquakes that happen anywhere outside of LA County, too. The San Andreas Fault isn’t in LA County.”
Screengrabs from the Quake Alert app.
One major difference between ShakeAlertLA and QuakeAlert is that Early Warning Labs uses raw USGS data to calculate customized alerts based on the user’s location, says Bashioum. “This is expensive, to create ‘intensity’-based alerts but we believe it’s the best method when lives are on the line,” he says. “We hope our consumer app will be ready soon; our commercial platform already protects over 100,000 California residents.”
QuakeAlert users can also set their own thresholds for what alerts to get for any quakes—as long as they’re above magnitude 3.5. But the app will only give an estimate of shaking intensity if the quake is expected to be felt by the user.
LA’s app was made publicly available over six months ago, but the city has still not released video or sound showing what users will see and hear in the moments before a quake. In a USGS and Caltech press conference today, seismologist Lucy Jones was asked what the ShakeAlertLA alert sounded like and she said she didn’t know.
Jones also said to expect more aftershocks.

Los Angeles Dodgers payroll worksheet
This is an overview look at the Los Angeles Dodgers’ payroll, with details about every player on the 40-man roster, plus several others.
This counts payroll as the payments actually happen, rather than average annual value. We will track the competitive balance tax and related issues in separate posts as needed. This worksheet is more a resource to use throughout the season and offseason, and will be updated accordingly.
Below you will find details on service time, roster status, and contract information for every Dodger. Service time is in days and years, so 4.123 means four years, 123 days of major league service time. The season is 187 days long, with 172 days accrued needed for a full season. The minor league season is 153 days long.
The minimum major league salary for 2019 is $555,000 in 2019.
Some of these values (in italics) are estimated. For the old payroll worksheet, click here. I have also added a column for 2018 with the Dodgers’ payroll as it relates to the competitive balance tax. That column is in bold.

2016: $18 million
2017: $17.5 million

Utley was acquired from the Phillies in a three-player deal on Aug. 19, 2015, with 46 days left in the regular season.

The Phillies will also pay all of the $5 million roster bonus to Utley in 2015.
Utley's 2016 club option is worth $11 million, the maximum amount, because he spent at least 125 days on an active roster in 2015.

Tishman Speyer is in talks to buy out Northwood Investors’ stake in two Playa Vista office campuses, the Collective and Brickyard, The Real Deal has learned.
Sources familiar with the deal said the two firms are in discussions, though nothing has completed. Northwood’s exact stake in the portfolio is unknown.
Tishman, the prolific New York-based developer, has been exploring the sale of the portfolio since early this year. Bids for both properties, which span 620,720 square feet in total, are expected to range from $600 million to $650 million, sources said at the time.
Tishman declined to comment. A representative for Northwood did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The 425,300-square-foot Brickyard campus is comprised of two office buildings, an 8,000-square-foot retail space and 9,000 square feet of daycare facilities. Facebook is an anchor tenant at the property with 260,000 square feet, or 60 percent, of the office space. Other tenants at the campus, located at 12105 and 12126 W. Waterfront Drive, include Loyola Marymount University, which leases 50,000 square feet.
Northwood is also an investor in the Collective campus, located about a half-mile away on Bluff Creek Drive. The 204,420-square-foot property is spread across five buildings. Yahoo leases 130,000 square feet at the property.
Earlier this week, Northwood secured the entitlements to renovate another West L.A. campus it holds a stake in. The firm, plus its partner McCarthy Cook, have tapped Gensler to design the $300 million makeover of the Trident Center. Once completed, the property will span about 555,000 square feet and include a fitness center, retail and restaurants.

Redevelopment Plan Unveiled for the Shuttered Wing of DTLA's Alexandria Hotel
Documents submitted to the Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council offer a look at developer Nick Hadim's plans to finally convert the sealed-off wing of Downtown's Alexandria Hotel into apartments.
The eight-story structure, located at 218 W. 5th Street, was built in 1905 as an annex to the Alexandria Hotel. However, its developer William Chick constructed the addition without elevators or stairs, instead relying on existing infrastructure in the main hotel. That decision ultimately proved to be a mistake when in 1938, the owner of the Alexandria closed off all access to the annex during a business dispute. It has remained as such for the succeeding eight decades.
Hadim intends to reactivate the long-empty space through a development called The Annex, which is described as part adaptive reuse and part reconstruction. Citing seismic issues that prevented a full adaptive reuse of the building, Hadim is instead planning to preserve the primary historic elements of the building - specifically its eight-story street facade, one-story alley facade, and its street-facing ground floor. But behind the historic face, plans call for constructing a new building which recreates the existing footprint while expanding it into an 11-story, 151-foot-tall structure.
The Annex, which is being designed by Steven Fader Architects, would feature 31 studio, one-, and two-bedroom dwellings, in addition to 2,689 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, a rooftop amenity deck, and a basement recreation room.
The development application also comes with a request to build the apartments sans on-site parking, citing the project's slim footprint and densely-built surroundings. Letters of support from neighboring property owners were attached.
Hadim's proposal is the second recent example in Downtown of a "facadectomy," a practice in which a historic building's exterior is preserved while its interior is either fully or entirely rebuilt. Skid Row Housing Trust New Pershing Apartments kept the exterior of a 125-year-old Victorian building at 5th and Main Streets while constructing a five-story, 69-unit apartment building within its shell.

Snoop Dogg becomes a shareholder in Klarna
Swedish financial tech firm Klarna has confirmed that American rapper, Snoop Dogg, aka Calvin Broadus, has become a minor shareholder in the company, which offers retailers including Asos and Missguided buy-now-pay-later services.
“Snoop is not only a rap legend, but also a successful businessman, with a genuine interest in tech, retail and e-commerce. He has a great understanding of consumer behaviour and is exceptional when it comes to branding and marketing,” said Sebastian Siemiatkowski, chief executive of Klarna in a statement. “Teaming up with one of the smooothest persons alive, opens new doors to Klarna as we grow and develop as a company.”
The size of Broadus’ investment has not been disclosed, just that the action was part of his European investment strategy, added the statement, and that he will acquire his shares from an existing Klarna shareholder. He joins other backers including Sequoia Capital, Bestseller Group, Atomico, Visa and Permira.
Commenting on his investment, Broadus added: "I've been looking for an opportunity to expand my tech investment portfolio to Europe and seeing the way Klarna operates and how they challenge the status quo, I think it’s a match made in heaven. I’m very excited about this partnership.”
As well as taking a stake in the company, Snoop Dogg is fronting a new global campaign, ‘Get Smoooth’, where the rapper is transformed into Smoooth Dogg and can be seen in adverts partying in a mansion, spreading gold peanut butter, as well as relaxing on a silk bed and lounging on a sofa alongside Afghan Hounds.
Klarna states that the concept centres around the tech firms promise of being ‘smooth’ by removing friction from the world of pay later payments by making everyday life easier for consumers and retailers.
This marks the first of many collaborations with Snoop Dogg added Klarna, the next step it said will be presenting a range of “unique items enabling anyone to Get Smoooth”, with full details to be revealed at a later date.
Klarna is Europe’s leading payments provider and a newly-licensed bank, and its aim is to revolutionise the payment experience for shoppers and merchants by offering various payment options to pay later. The finance firm works with 100,000 retailers in Europe and across the US and is active in 14 countries.

Haute couture turns back on fur, both real and fake
Something rather significant was missing from the Paris haute couture shows which wrapped up on Wednesday night -- fur. Beyond the guest appearance of American designer Ralph Rucci, there was none of the luxuriantly sensual mink, fox or sable that for decades defined the autumn winter collections of the elite Paris shows.
More significant still, there was just as little fake fur.
The clutch of couturiers who make some of the most expensive and exquisite clothes in the world seem to have made the leap into a fur-less future.
Having renounced fur in November, Jean Paul Gaultier replaced it flamboyantly with feathers in his stomping show Wednesday, with pelts giving way to animal prints.
"It's fake fake fur," the French creator told AFP, "a trick of the eye.
"No feathers have been killed or massacred for the show," he quipped.
And as the Italian designer Sofia Crociani also proved, you can create the look and feel of fur from natural fibres without resorting to synthetic faux furs that are a byproduct of the oil industry.
She created coats and dresses for her Aelis show "from knitted silk and cashmere and silk and camel hair", she told AFP.
"All the materials are natural and sustainable. We never use fur, only the skins of animals that we eat."
Crociani refuses to use fake fur or leather, saying you cannot get away from the fact that "they are plastics, which don't pass for me, even recycled."
Having dedicated a whole collection last year to fake fur, Givenchy's Clare Waight Keller has come around to the same way of thinking.
Designers say 'No' to faux
"I know it's a good alternative to the real thing, but I don't know if environmentally it's the best solution," the British designer said.
"I'd rather wait until there is something that feels more eco-friendly."
But she is sticking with leather and woolly shearling, "which is a byproduct of the food industry, so it is a waste product if it's not used."
While fellow Briton Stella McCartney has pioneered vegan clothes, "Fur-free-Fur" and hi-tech "vegetarian leather" which she claims is as good as the real thing, even she acknowledges there is an environmental downside.
"We are conscious that the product itself is non-biodegradable.
"We therefore encourage customers to care for their items... never throwing them away. Luxury does not mean landfill -- it means forever," her label insisted.
But for Maurizio Galante it is "absolutely idiotic" to use fake fur and skins "that come from petrol. It is not good for the planet at all. You either use the real thing or you don't," he told AFP. The Italian used all his top-end cutting techniques to mimic a jaguar skin in satin and silk in one of the Mexican-inspired trouser suits in his Paris haute couture show.
'Nothing ecological about fake fur'
Dutch designer Ronald van der Kemp -- an ace recycler -- went a step further, making a leopard print bolero and turban from an old duvet cover. For Galante, "fur almost doesn't have a place in our lives any more.
"The world has changed, and so has our attitude to climate, ecology and our respect for animals."
French designer Julien Fournie used to love to use fur but stopped five years ago because he could not be sure of its origins.
"Even if real fur is more ecologically sound than synthetic fur -- it takes 6,000 years for fake fur to break down and about 600 for the real thing -- traceability was a problem for me."
Giambattista Valli was equally adamant. "There is nothing ecological about eco-fur, it's very polluting."
Gaultier did not rule out one day recycling his old furs, or using new pelts again "if everything is done right and obviously not with endangered species.
"I really like the feel of fur, it's so warm... but for now we need to calm things down.
"We are in an age when there is too much of everything, so we shouldn't be killing animals.
"I have a charming little pussy, and I love animals, though I draw the line at crocodiles," he added.
The French fur federation said the only reason fur was absent from the runways was because of the "climate of terror" created by animal rights groups like PETA.
"The creators are afraid to show fur because of the threat of these groups," its spokesman Pierre-Philippe Frieh said.
But he claimed that a new generation of designers, including some of the hottest in fashion, are using furs and exotic skins.
"Kim Jones at Dior and Virgil Abloh at Louis Vuitton have done menswear collections with fur which show this renaissance of fur in fashion," he insisted.
Frieh was lavish in his praise of Rucci for sticking with fur, but the American -- who was showing as a guest in Paris -- said he was using it "in a very hidden way".(AFP)
