Fresh faces and freshman shows made an impressive showing this morning as the nominees for the 59th annual Emmy Awards were announced: More than half of the nods doled out in the top drama and comedy categories went to performers and series that were either new or hadn't been nominated in the previous year.
"A 60% rate of fresh faces and shows," crowed the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, which has fended off criticism for several years that it's impossible to break the entrenched circle of nominees.

Grocery store returns to a newly built downtown neighborhood

Ralphs Grocery got its start in downtown Los Angeles during the horse-and-buggy days. But the supermarket abandoned the city center in 1950, a symbol of the district's rapid decline in the wake of the post-World War II suburban boom.
Now, Ralphs is poised to return to the heart of the city, with a 50,000-square-foot market in the shadow of Staples Center and more than a dozen new condo towers. It is scheduled to open Friday.
The supermarket is a central part of a concerted effort by developers and urban planners to create suburban touches in one corner of downtown, an area known as South Park.
Much of downtown's renaissance so far has been focused on the rehab of buildings in the pre-World War II commercial core, where dozens of once-dilapidated office buildings have been converted into luxury lofts. Residents prize century-old brick facades and lovingly restored grand lobbies — and tolerate the sometimes grimy streets that come with them.
