The California Legislature is trying to save us from ourselves again. The state Senate has passed Senate Bill 28, a bill that would raise the base fine for talking on a handheld cell phone while driving from $20 to $50 for a first offense and from $50 to $100 for a second. With added local [...]
FAIRFIELD — They went into the gymnasium Wednesday as Solano Community College students — black-robed, with money and flowered leis strewn around their neck and goofy glasses hooked on their noses. They sent text messages and talked with whoever stood around them — some giddy with excitement, others quiet and reflective. They walked out of [...]
There’s a kinetic electricity — about 1.21 “jiggawatts,” actually — in playing a record you know hasn’t touched a needle since before Marty and Doc hopped in the DeLorean. Maybe this isn’t Hill Valley and we’re not in the parking lot of the Twin Pines Mall, but vinyl records can be a vehicle through time, [...]

SACRAMENTO — California improperly freed more than 450 dangerous criminals without supervision last year as part of a controversial parole program designed to reduce prison crowding and cost, the California prison system’s independent inspector general said in a report Wednesday. A faulty computerized risk-assessment program predicted the offenders could be released under the state’s non-revocable [...]
LOS ANGELES — Could the sympathy vote be a factor in the battle of the “American Idol” teenage country crooners? Lauren Alaina, 16, of Rossville, Ga., required medical treatment for a vocal cord injury suffered during rehearsals for Tuesday’s performance show.

CHICAGO — There were no free cars or vacations. No favorite things or makeovers. No celebrity guests on stage — though there were plenty in the audience.
