Assemblymember Wendy Carrillo has introduced a bill seeking reparations for the families forcibly evicted from the land where Dodger Stadium now sits.
The land was originally a close-knit, predominantly Mexican-American community. The evictions came through a deal by city officials anxious to get Dodgers owner Walter O’Malley to move his team from Brooklyn. The efforts to repossess the land lasted approximately ten years (1951–1961).
Accounts claim many families were pressured to sell or forced out using eminent domain. Eventually, the holdouts were physically removed by law enforcement before their homes were bulldozed.
Carillo held a news conference on Friday to announce the legislation, Carrillo said Assembly Bill 1950, known as the Chavez Ravine Accountability Act, aims to correct a mistake that’s “lingered in the shadows of Los Angeles’ Eastside history for far too long.”
The bill calls for creating a public database with information about the events involving the city’s land acquisition and for reparations.

Match #1: Nxt Heritage Cup – Noam Dar vs. Chad Gable The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The Nxt Heritage Cup remains with Noam Dar and The Meta-Four, but not without some controversy. After a scoreless round one, Dar stole round two thanks to a sneaky kick from Oro Mensah and a subsequent Nova Roller. Gable knotted the contest up at one apiece thanks to a rolling German suplex in round five. In the waning moments of round six, Gable locked in an Ankle Lock, but Dar tapped out just after the bell rang, ensuring that the Heritage Cup wouldn’t change hands.

New York, Aug 18(Ians) Secondhand smoke is a largely overlooked source of lead exposure in children, according to a study.
Researchers from Texas A&m University in the US analysed data on 2,815 children and adolescents’ blood lead levels and secondhand smoke exposure in children and adolescents aged 6 to 19.
They looked at levels of lead and a metabolite of nicotine known as cotinine.
Levels of cotinine act as an indicator of exposure to tobacco smoke.
The findings, published in the journal Bmc Public Health, found that blood lead levels correlated with cotinine levels.
Lead levels were 18 per cent higher in participants in the intermediate cotinine group and 29 per cent higher in the heavy group compared to those with low blood cotinine.
The researchers also found that the 6-to-10 age cohort had the highest percentage of participants whose blood lead levels were over the median, with a decreasing trend in older groups.

Lisa Marie Presley, who passed away on January 12, 2023, died from complications of a small bowel obstruction, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office. As reported by CNN on Thursday, July 13, the medical report, which contained comments from deputy medical examiner Dr. Juan M. Carrillo, attributed Presley’s death to “adhesions (or scar tissue) that developed after bariatric surgery years ago,” which “is a known long term complication of this type of surgery.” The report also included autopsy toxicology results, which showed non-lethal doses of oxycodone, quetiapine metabolite, and the painkiller buprenorphine. According to Carillo, these were “not contributory to death.” Carrillo concluded, “There is no evidence of injury or foul play. The manner of death is deemed natural.” Bariatric surgery is a procedure to treat serious weight problems. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Bariatric surgery is done when diet and exercise haven’t worked or when you...

Update: Lisa Marie Presley’s autopsy report, obtained by CNN later on Thursday, included comments by deputy medical examiner Dr. Juan M. Carrillo.
He attributed her death to “adhesions that developed after bariatric surgery years ago. This is a known long term complication of this type of surgery.”
Carrillo also revealed autopsy toxicology results, which showed “therapeutic” levels of oxycodone in Presley’s blood. He added that quetapine metabolite and buprenorphine (a painkiller) were present, but “not contributory to death.”
“There is no evidence of injury or foul play. The manner of death is deemed natural,” Carrillo concluded.

California legislators on Tuesday passed a bill that drastically alters how studios and production companies are compensated for filming in California and institutes a pioneering set safety pilot program supported by industry unions.
The bill, which will now go to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk, extends for five years the state’s $330 million incentive program for film and TV production and makes the tax credits refundable, meaning companies could receive a refund for a portion of their credits that exceed their tax liability. Previously, only Disney and NBCUniversal had tax liabilities in California to take full advantage of the program. It also folds in language from a previously separate bill authored by state senator Dave Cortese — Sb 735 — and inspired by the 2021 fatal shooting on the set of Rust that seeks to regulate firearms use on film and television sets and institutes a pilot program introducing dedicated “safety advisors” onto productions.

El Estudio and Morbido are launching The Latin House of Horror, a hugely ambitious feature film slate channelling the voices of a powerful new generation of genre directors – and indeed writers – emerging in Spain and, most especially, Latin America.
The slate is designed to supercharge genre production in Latin America, in ambition, profile and exports, just as Filmax’s Fantastic Factory did a generation ago in Spain, El Estudio producer Enrique López Lavigne told Variety.
Mexico’s Sula Films, headed by Mexican producer Alejandro Sugich (“Los Hermanos Salvador”), will also produce the series. Vicente Canales’ Film Factory Entertainment is handling world sales.
Announced at Cannes, the House’s first slate of six movies features established talent such as Adrián García Bogliano, a founding figure of modern Argentine scarefare, now based out of Mexico; and Isaac Ezban, who rapidly established a reputation for films wrapped in hauntingly surreal scenarios: Think “The Incident” and “The Similars.

Tokyo, May 7 (Ians) Japan’s Urawa Red Diamonds edged Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal 1-0 thanks to an own goal from Andre Carrillo in the second leg of the 2022 AFC Champions League final, lifting the title on a 2-1 aggregate win at the Saitama Stadium.
Al Hilal, who were held 1-1 in last week’s first leg, dominated the game, but the mistake from Carrillo three minutes into the second half proved fatal for the defending champions on Saturday.
The Peruvian winger thumped the ball into his own goal as he tried to clear Marius Hoibraten’s headed cross, a Xinhua report said.
It was Urawa’s third AFC Champions League title following their wins in 2007 and 2017.
Urawa’s Hiroki Sakai, who previously played with Hannover 96 and Marseille, was named the Most Valuable Player.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s push to extend the California film and TV tax credit has hit a snag over the issue of industry diversity.
Newsom’s budget proposal includes extending the $330 million filming incentive, which is currently set to expire in 2025, for an additional five years.
But at a hearing last month, Assemblyman Phil Ting, who chairs the Budget Committee, faulted the California Film Commission for failing to produce diversity data for productions that have already received tax benefits. He also questioned the need to “rush” the extension without first seeing the data.
State law requires the commission to produce annual reports — starting in January 2022 — on the diversity of projects. After the hearing, the commission belatedly posted the first annual report on its website.
After reviewing it, Ting said the numbers show that the studios have much more work to do.

A California Senate bill extending the 330 million annual film and TV tax credit until 2030 was placed in the inactive file for this legislative session Thursday at the request of its lead author, state Sen. Anthony Portantino (D-Burbank).
Just last week, new provisions were added to Senate Bill 485 (read the legislation here) making it very clear that productions need to widen their demographic aperture if they want to be eligible for big-bucks incentives from the Golden State. In other words, the message is: increase diversity.
The bill will now be considered in 2023, which is plenty of time given that the current California Film and Television Production Tax Credit Program is not set to sunset until June 30, 2025.
Motion Picture Association Senior Vice President of State Government Affairs Kathy Bañuelos issued the following statement about the delay:

A proposed bill to extend the California Film & TV Tax Credit program through 2030 has been placed on hold until next year’s legislative session in Sacramento, State Sen. Anthony Portantino announced.
Portantino, who authored the bill and is a major player when it comes to film industry legislation in California, said that the delay was done to give lawmakers time to iron out late amendments added to the tax program, including a diversity amendment added by Los Angeles Assemblywoman Wendy Carrillo requiring productions that receive a tax credit to hire a cast and crew that is “broadly reflective” of the state’s demographics.
With the current tax credit program not expiring until 2025, Portantino expressed confidence that the extension can be finalized in time.

The California Film Commission recently issued tax credits to 18 films planning to shoot in the state in 2023, but the program that made it possible is currently scheduled to expire in 2025. A bill (Sb 485) that would extend the program through 2030 has been working its way through the California state legislature and had been expected to pass this year. The state currently allocates 330 million per year in tax credits for film production, and Sb 485 would seek to keep those numbers at their current level.
The bill has been spearheaded by state Senator Anthony Portantino, who issued a statement on Thursday revealing that the bill would not be voted on until the next legislative session begins in January (via Variety).
“Given the Governor’s commitment, it does not seem pressing to push Sb 485 through right now, while there is still time to thoughtfully act before 2025,” Portantino said. “This is an important and successful fiscal and jobs program,...

A bill to extend California’s film and TV tax incentive program through 2030 has been placed on hold, as lawmakers continue to work on elements of the bill, including a new diversity mandate.
The state’s 330 million tax credit for Hollywood is currently set to expire in 2025. Sen. Anthony Portantino has worked on a bill, Sb 485, that would add another five years to the program.
Last week, a new provision was added requiring that productions that receive a tax credit adopt hiring goals that are “broadly reflective” of the state’s demographics. Assemblywoman Wendy Carrillo, D-Los Angeles, led the effort to include that provision, which also adds an extra 4 subsidy for projects that meet their diversity targets.
Gov. Gavin Newsom announced his support for the tax credit extension earlier this month, and the bill was expected to be approved by the Legislature before the end of the session on Aug.
