• This Newsrack Will Self- Destruct in Five Seconds...

  Color us crazy, but we'd have thought someone would have raised an ethical concern or three after the Los Angeles County Sheriff's arson squad blew up an LA Times newsrack in Santa Clarita on Friday. The concern we refer to is not whether deputies were under orders from the Sheriff Lee Baca to get back at the Times for some journalistic slight against him (pick one), nor are we hinting at an excessive use of force to bring down a newspaper box because some passersby mistook a device attached to

But as the chilly Pomona winds brushed my back rounding the corner of the Glass House on Second St., I couldn't wipe the smile off my face even if I tried. Not only was I going to see one of the main bands I was

• Why Do More Latinos Settle in OC Than Closer to the Border?

  You'd think San Diego County's closeness to the Mexican border would make it a natural place for Latinos to call home, but according to the U.S. Census Bureau, San Diego County continues to have the lowest concentration of Latinos among Southern California counties. That's because, immigration trackers tell San Diego Union-Tribune's Lori Weisberg and Leslie Berestein, Orange and Los Angeles counties are far more hospitable places for Latino households searching for work and strong social

He explained to the San Bernardino Sun that he recently moved with his stepson and pregnant wife from Colton, which is the dustbowl right next to the dustbowl of Rialto, 115 miles away to Ventura.

• News and New Material from Matt Costa

  A few things have happened since we last checked in with Brushfire artist and Huntington Beach resident Matt Costa. Though he's been MIA for the last few months, it seems like he's back, but not without a few new developments. His Facebook page just posted this semi-new (recorded in August, it seems) YouTube vid of a live performance of some new material, a song titled "Miracle Drug" that he has performed live. Appearing with him? His new wife, Casey. Aw. Costa also seems to be starting fres
