French actor Sebastian Roche walks with members of the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild on a picket line outside of Paramount Studios.After spending much of last week hammering out a new contract, the actors' union SAG-AFTRA says it's now reviewing what the studios call their"last, best, and final offer.
"The produce that might be sort of most in demand, say, at a small market in West Long Beach might look very different than the produce in demand in a small Long, small North Long Beach market," said Lara Turnbull of the Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services. The city will work with the market owners and residents to supply produce that's in demand in each neighborhood.
Last month, that section of Beach Boulevard in Buena Park, between Orangethorpe Avenue and Rosecrans Avenue, was designated as the second “Koreatown” in Orange County. Leading the charge was Buena Park Councilmember Joyce Ahn, who has lived in the city for over 17 years.“I would say probably in the past 10 years is when we saw a big boom in the number of Korean businesses so that's also brought the city a lot of tax revenue,” she said.
Currently, the clientele at Yozm Donuts is 80% non-Korean. Lee says some have visited as far away as Rancho Cucamonga and San Diego.

Reflecting on his testimony Katami, says until the Prop. 8 trial, many heterosexuals didn't know the hundreds of rights automatically afforded straight couples — but denied to LGBTQ people. For example, some rights are not automatically afforded same sex couples, like social security benefits of a partner who dies.
On the stand, Stier testified that after meeting Perry she"really felt like the thunderbolt of change for me." Unlike Perry, Stier wasn't an out lesbian at the time. But the audible and visible emotion of their testimony was out of view, until the trial tapes were unsealed. "Seeing what happened during the trial behind the scenes is really important because it helps expose the truth," Mahogany says."It helps expose the fact that this is just about two people loving each other, wanting to cement their relationship, wanting to protect each other ... and their children."
"They fought for a decade that this would not be seen," says attorney Burke."And I think there's a reason for that," Burke adds, implying their arguments simply didn't hold up under legal scrutiny.
