If nothing else, Christopher Arellano has found a way to deflect scrutiny from the $200,000 he has taken from UTLA. But the Times and Daily News miss a big chunk of the story...the city wants to seize Hollywood and Vine...LAPD cops who rob...Los Angeles County now has 10.2 million people. Turn the page for more more more...
And because so much happened yesterday, a recap: Arellano's political future in doubt, Derek Lowe admits it was baaaad last year, Kitty Felde signs off with emotion and class, new twist in the Ferrari crash case, the Times names a Sports Editor and a Daily Calendar editor, John Balzar comes back to news, KTLA's ethics slammed by Times blogger, and David Kipen guest-blogs his marathon book tour.

charged in a home-invasion
robbery ring.
♦ City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo told the
Sacramento Bee that he regrets supporting Wal-Mart's move into Panorama City in 1997.

convicted of using its website to criminally incite harrassment of workers at a company that tests products on animals.
♦ Singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen won $9.5 million from his former business manager after she failed to respond to a lawsuit over plundering his retirement accounts. But he'll probably
