NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A new study from a local watchdog group says the Metropolitan Transportation Authority needs to spend billions more on subway cars. The MTA ‘s current budget provides $1.7 billion to purchase new cars and overhaul existing ones. But the nonpartisan Citizens Budget Commission says that figure is about $7 billion short. The group recommends spending $8.3 billion on more than 3,600 new subway cars and another $710 million to overhaul existing cars over the next ten years.

FAIRFAX DISTRICT (CBSLA) – Less than a week after a LeBron James mural in Venice was vandalized , a second similar mural has gone up in the Fairfax District. (John Schreiber/CBS2) Earlier this month, a mural went up on the side of Baby Blue Barbecue at 444 Lincoln Blvd. in Venice almost immediately after James signed his new $154 million deal with the Lakers. However, it drew the ire of some Lakers fans who don’t believe James has earned a mural yet. They vandalized it with messages including “We don’t want you,” “LeFraud,” “No King” and “3-6,” James’ record in the NBA Finals. One of the artists initially repainted the mural, before removing it completely last week. However, on Wednesday, a new LeBron James mural went up on Melrose Avenue and North Ogden Drive in the Fairfax District. This one includes LeBron in a Lakers jersey, looking up at several Laker legends including Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain.

Studio City, Calif. (CBSLA/CBS Local) — Here’s a story…of a lovely listing. The Studio City home known as “The Brady Bunch house” because its exteriors were used on the show is on the market for the first time in nearly 50 years. The two-bedroom, three-bathroom home in the 11200 block of Dilling Street, adjacent to the Los Angeles River, is being offered for nearly $1.9 million, according to agent Ernie Carswell. He says the home is “the second most photographed home in the United States after the White House.” The home was last sold in 1973 for $60,000. Several homes in the area have been demolished recently, so the owners will give preference to bidders who want to keep the home intact, Carswell told the Los Angeles Times. “The Brady Bunch” aired between 1969 and 1974.

Good afternoon, and what a great afternoon this is! Temperatures have reached the mid 80s and the humidity is staying low. (Credit: CBS2) Winds will stay light throughout the day, not that we really need them on a fine day like this. Skies are bright and blue with very few clouds in sight. This will be the trend throughout tonight and tomorrow, as well. There isn’t much going on in terms of weather in the area, but the rain will return this weekend, so enjoy the calm while it lasts. (Credit: CBS2) Today and tomorrow are perfect for outdoor activities, especially a trip to the beach! The UV index is high, so make sure that you are wearing plenty of sunscreen because the burn time is 20 minutes.

WFAN, Joe Benigno Face Ex-Sales Exec’s $5 Million Lawsuit Over Sexual Harassment
written by TerrancDelvalle
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A former sales executive has filed a $5 million lawsuit against sports radio station WFAN and show host Joe Benigno over accusations of sexual harassment and a culture where “anything goes” among coworkers. Lauren Lockwood, who was a sports sales executive the station for five years until her termination in 2017, named Benigno and others working at WFAN in her claims of a hostile work environment, retaliation and discrimination. Benigno has been a WFAN personality for 24 years and currently co-host a midday show with Evan Roberts. Lockwood’s complaint points out she was one of five female account executives in a sales team of 25 men who made “sexual comments, outrageous sexual solicitations, unwelcome touching, innuendoes and hostility on a near daily basis.” The complaint also describes a work environment in which managers and sales team reps kept liquor in desk drawers, shared Jameson with pickleback shots and Tequila at the office and client events, and ran up company expenses for more booze up to $2,000 or even $4,000 per event with clients. At one meeting, she describes a coworker as appearing “drunk and smelling of alcohol” bragging about strip club meetings with clients and “paying for two prostitutes (cost $1,300)” which he later allegedly filed on an expense report. Lockwood also said the coworker was allowed “to go home early to sleep off the hangover.” In terms of her dealings with Benigno, Lockwood relates scenes of the veteran broadcaster giving her backrubs, whispering “in her ear about having ‘threesomes’ with him and his wife and prostitutes” and sexual encounters with other women working at WFAN. Lockwood said when she rejected Benigno’s advances, he complained to another WFAN employee he “can’t even give her a compliment.” Benigno was removed from the programming schedule on Thursday and reportedly refuted Lockwood’s claims through his agent. “Joe categorically denies the allegations,” said Mark Lepselter according to the New York Daily News . “My father once told me on any story, always consider the source and those who live in glass houses. We’re more than prepared to handle the situation if need be.” Lockwood’s complaint also describes a “Bro’s Club” atmosphere where men were given lower sales quota’s to make their goals, given more lucrative accounts, given better perks to sports events and generally treated less strictly in the workplace. In July 2017, a argument between a current and former WFAN employee in the station’s suite at the Barclay’s Center for the Mayweather/McGregor promotional tour – apparently comparing the two boxers – escalated into a fight in which Lockwood was caught in the melee. She was fired from WFAN the next day, the only employee to face such termination after the event. Lockwood also claims WFAN employees conitnued to interfere with her attempt to get a new job after leaving the station.

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin Morph Into Same Person In New Time Magazine Cover
written by KathaleKilvingt
(CNN) — For the second month in a row, Time magazine has put a provocative photo illustration of President Donald Trump on its cover — this time, morphing him into Russian President Vladimir Putin. In it, Trump’s distinctive blonde hair, wispy eyebrows and pursed lips merge with Putin’s nose and blue eyes. The stunning photo illustration, by visual artist Nancy Burson, “is meant to represent this particular moment in US foreign policy, following the pair’s recent meeting in Helsinki, Finland,” Time said in a statement. Trump has weathered heavy criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike for his performance at the meeting, where he publicly sided with Putin over US intelligence agencies’ assessment that the Russians interfered in the 2016 presidential election. Since coming back home from Finland, the President has changed his messaging and now says he holds Putin personally responsible for the election meddling and believes the assessment of government intelligence agencies. In addition to the still image for the July 30 issue, Burson created a video image as well, which morphs back and forth between the seemingly-ever changing appearances of the two men. TIME’s new cover: Trump wanted a summit with Putin. He got way more than he bargained for https://t.co/sUu9gGKmmP pic.twitter.com/qq6iOjlis1 — TIME (@TIME) July 19, 2018 Just last month, Time used the President in another striking image on its cover, when the Trump administration’s policy that separated families crossing the US border was dominating the headlines. In that stark photo illustration, the towering figure of Trump looms over a sobbing child, who is the subject of a now-iconic photograph taken by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer John Moore. “Welcome to America,” the illustration reads. Use of the photo of the child generated controversy as well, after it was revealed that the 2-year-old Honduran girl had not been separated from her mother at the border. The latest image was created by a photography pioneer Burson, the designer of the latest cover, is a trailblazer in this type of art, starting with her work 30 years ago with scientists at MIT which led to the development of computer-generated compositing technology. She’s best known for developing a photographic face-aging technique that the FBI uses to find missing children, according to the Time statement. Her most famous aged image is the one of kidnapped 6-year-old Etan Patz that was on the front page of the New York Post in 1985. It showed what Patz might have looked like six years after his kidnapping. Burson told Time her goal with the Trump-Putin image was to make people “stop and think” about the similarities between the two leaders. “What my work has always been about is allowing people to see differently,” she said. “The combining of faces is a different way for people to see what they couldn’t see before.” The-CNN-Wire & © 2018 Cable News Network, Inc., a Time Warner Company.
