Culver City Wraps a Ficus in 56-Foot Metal Frame as Public Art

A towering metal frame is rising around a mature ficus tree at the intersection of Washington and National boulevards in Culver City, part of a public-art installation that began last month and is expected to continue through the end of the year. The piece, called A Frame for a Tree, is the work of Los Angeles-based artist Charles Gaines and measures roughly 56 feet by 98 feet, wrapping a rectangular metal structure around the living tree rather than replacing it.

Microsoft Goes Down, and the Media Business Takes Off Early

It’s not just you: The Runyon Canyon and Baldwin Hills trails are unusually busy. The New Jersey Transit trains to Montclair and Metro North trains to Westchester really are more crowded. Xbox Slashing 3,200 Jobs In "Most Significant Restructure" in Platform's History The media business took off early on Thursday, and the bosses can blame Microsoft. The tech giant suffered a stunning global outage Thursday, putting Outlook, Teams, CoPilot and online version of Word, Excel and other software on ice, and work grinding (mostly) to a halt. Inside one midtown Manhattan media office, one employee said that as soon as it became clear the services weren’t coming back soon, folks headed for the door, braving the rain to try and get home early. Inside one newsroom, the programming and newsgathering had to go on, but one staffer said that the conversations migrated to Slack and text chains. The media business may still rely on old-fashioned technology: Film reels, cable wires and broadcast spectrum, but the internet has become its backbone, and an outage of this scale can grind an industry (or in this case much of the economy) to a halt.

The Hottest New Tables in Hollywood During AFM

Baldi 9850 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills The Hotel Lobbies Where Hollywood Takes Meetings During AFM At the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, chef Edo Baldi gives the steakhouse an Italian accent, cooking beef and wagyu over an olive wood-fired grill. Don’t let the steaks distract from sweet corn tortellini with mascarpone and truffle butter, or the pancake soufflé for two. Terracotta tones and olive trees warm the restaurant. For casual meet-ups, Bar Baldi pairs thin-crust pizza with beverage director Jim Kearns’ limoncello-laced spritz. Birdie G’s 2025 Avenue of the Stars, Los Angeles Moving from Santa Monica into the former Lumière space, chef Jeremy Fox’s Birdie G’s brings its family-inspired cooking directly to Century City. Matzo ball soup, the Pickle Chick cutlet and rose petal pie join koji-aged steaks, handmade pastas and California vegetables. EDG’s design draws on midcentury supper clubs, with banquettes and expanded patio seating. The planned breakfast-through-dinner format covers the working day; martinis and Manhattans take care of happy hour and beyond. Bad Roman 267 N. Canon Drive, Suite A7, Beverly Hills The former Palm steakhouse has a new cast of characters: a boar sculpture, greyhound statues and snake door handles.

Numbers that Matter: Indiana vs.USC

It’s one of football’s oldest truths: when the final whistle sounds, the scoreboard tells you who won, but the numbers often tell you why. A team may rack up more yards and still walk away with a loss, only for the turnover margin to reveal the difference. Another may control the ball, dominate time of possession, and quietly squeeze the life out of a comeback attempt. Whether it’s field position, third-down efficiency, explosive plays, or costly mistakes, the box score often uncovers the story beneath the result. In a game decided by inches, the numbers have a way of explaining what the eye test alone cannot.

George Mkrtchyan Left a Century City Firm to Build One Where Clients Talk to Their Attorney

The call goes to voicemail. The client leaves a message, waits a week, and calls again. Somewhere in the office, the file holding that client’s injury claim sits exactly where it sat last month. For many people who hire a lawyer, the hardest part of a case can be the silence between updates, not the legal question at the center of it.
