I was sure I've seen some websites before........
So, I just Googled this number, and quite a bit of info comes up.

Is there a web site that you can enter the airspace number and get the information that would be on the side of the sectional chart about the airspace?
Example: 'R-5314'
I would like to see who controls it, the alt., and time information about the restriction.

I was deviating the other day due to wx and the controller told me he had to let me know if I was going to get into a hot restricted area. He made it sound as if he would get in hot water if he let me violate the airspace without warning me first. Just another good reason to use flight following.
...area is HOT, then ATC is usually not the controlling agency and he can't clear you into it.
Are you sure he wasn't talking about a MOA? - they would have to warn you about entering, but it is permissible to enter VFR...
I don't know how widespread this is, but for all the MOAs in our area, we have a frequency where we can contact the military controller. Not only can we find out if the MOAs are hot or not, but what altitudes will be in use, etc. Our EAA had a meeting last night with the base commander and this is going to be a big help as we (OVO) are quite close to a restricted area with MOAs about everywhere, or so it seems. The military controller maintains very close contact with ATC, but believe information does not always filter down to the controllers, at least on a timely basis. Perhaps we will see more of this and I would welcome it. At present, the frequency isn't published, as far as I know. Perhaps you can contact the controlling agency and see if they are doing this. Anyone know if this is available elsewhere?

If the military can not or will not follow procedure in alerting the public as to the use of a particular MOA, we have a problem and it ought to be fixed.
After reviewing the web site, I noticed it missed quite a few Army Guard air operational locations in California. But it is a good source of information on Active Duty and reserve AF locations.
Unfortunately, I believe there isn't one location that will give you the status of all potential military operations and SUA in use.
Scott,
I just got into http://sua.faa.gov/sua/Welcome.do and found 82 operational areas in California.
Go the List page, specify California, and peruse. I think they are all published at this site.
