We didn't exactly answer the question of who rules California, but last night's Zócalo panel at the Museum of Contemporary Art did get into some interesting insights about the state and its cultural touchstones, especially Silicon Valley and Hollywood. We all agreed, I think, that the more yawning split in California these days is between coast and interior, not between north and south. Zócalo reports on the evening with a story, photos and video.

Thanks to everyone who emailed with their ideas on the topic, or who posted at Facebook.

Kelly Candaele is a filmmaker and writer who blogs about movies. Casey Candaele played in the major leagues for nine years. Their late mother was "the Ted Williams of women's baseball." So the brothers, logically, gab here about the new film "Moneyball," starring Brad Pitt. First question:

KC: Let's get right to the crucial issues that my readers are most interested in Casey. Did you really take batting practice naked when you were with the Astros?

CC: Well, let me explain.

Casey works now for the Rangers and picks them to win the World Series.

At 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Starbucks and the Los Angeles Urban League are announcing "an innovative partnership to support underserved neighborhoods with a community profit-sharing store model at the Starbucks store in South Los Angeles at Crenshaw & Coliseum." Nice, but you might sleep through it. The press conference is in New York City. Details after the jump.

Old police cars and other emergency vehicles, many from TV shows and movies, will be on parade Tuesday starting at 11:30 a.m. from the LAFD museum on Cahuenga Blvd. in Hollywood. (The 2008 start of the annual 10-4 Day procession is shown in the video above.) There will then be a ceremony at actor Broderick Crawford's star in front of 6901 Hollywood Boulevard. 10-4 Day benefits the California Highway Patrol's 11-99 Foundation and its Broderick Crawford Benefits Program, along with the LAPD Museum and benefit fund.

Why Broderick Crawford? See video after the jump.

Linda Immediato, the editor-in-chief at Pasadena magazine and former deputy at Angeleno, is moving over to Los Angeles as senior editor. Here's the staff note from editor-in-chief Mary Melton.

Hi everyone,

I’m thrilled to report that we have a new senior editor joining the magazine next week. Linda Immediato comes to us from Pasadena Magazine, where she has been editor-in-chief for the past two years and accomplished a lot with a little in her time there. Previously, she was deputy editor at Angeleno, overseeing the arts, culture, fashion, and lifestyle pages. Born and raised in New York, Linda began her journalism career as an on-air news reporter for WBAI Radio (then an NPR affiliate). She later worked for several years honing her foodie skills as a senior editor at Gourmet before writing a screenplay about celebrity chefs that wound up being optioned and brought her to L.A. eight years ago. She landed at the LA Weekly, where she extensively covered Los Angeles fashion, culture, and nightlife as the lifestyle editor and was a founding member of their fashion blog, The Style Council. Linda has lived in Venice, Santa Monica, Echo Park, and Los Feliz, and currently resides in Franklin Village in a 100-year-old house with her border collie, Billie, and her cat, Loretta LaRoo.

Immediato wrote back in 2006 about losing her home in Venice and living out of her car with a dog named Stevie.

Added media note: Tony Pierce, deemed expendable this summer as L.A. Times blog editor, posted on his website that he's the new blog editor at KPCC starting today.

Mother Jones has a story questioning statements about bisphenol A, or BPA, by leading breast cancer fundraiser Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The story says the group receives funding from industries that use BPA and appears dismissive of evidence that there is a link between the chemical and breast cancer. The group denies this — said Komen president Elizabeth Thompson: "We are not influenced at all by any subpart of any one of our funders" — but Mother Jones finds critics who wonder. Reporting on the story by Amy Silverstein began when she was a Carnegie-Knight fellow at USC.
