  LONG BEACH — Colton Herta took a seat in the VIP tent Tuesday at media day for the 50th Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, which will take place April 13. This is Herta’s hometown race, as he hails from Santa Clarita, so one can image how excited he might have been when he won here in 2021.
  Not so fast.
  Yes, Herta won. But he didn’t get to enjoy it as much as he might have because so much of the attention was on Alex Palou clinching the NTT IndyCar series championship with a fourt

• These California publishers specialize in creating books by female authors

  01-04-2025 23:52 via ocregister.com
  
  These days, female authors are publishing as many books yearly as males.
  In a 2023 study, “The Welfare Effect of Gender-Inclusive Intellectual Property Creation: Evidence from Books,” University of Minnesota economist Joel Waldfogel looked at sales on Amazon, reviews on Goodreads, and other data, and concluded that, as of 2020, women are now penning 50 percent, maybe even slightly more, of the books published yearly.
  This is a huge leap from 10 percent a century ago, and 20 percent 6

• Q&A: Pacific Symphony’s new conductor Alexander Shelley on how music meets the moment

  From catastrophic fires to mudslides, plane crashes, political upheaval — let’s just say that calamity seemed to be the opening act of 2025.
  Seeking an antidote to the venom of relentless headlines, I’ve found myself listening to music more than ever. Which made me wonder: How and why does music act as more than mere entertainment, but perhaps offer deeper wisdom and perspective?
  For answers, I turned to London-based conductor Alexander Shelley, who is the incoming artistic and

  I was about to drive my friend home after watching a movie. Before buckling my seatbelt, I reached across to the passenger’s side and pulled something small, square and plastic out of the glove compartment.
  “Is that a CD?” my friend asked, astonished. While opening the jewel case, I confirmed that his eyes weren’t deceiving him. “That’s wild,” he said. “I can’t remember the last time I saw someone use a CD.”

  Many people don’t know that California has an official State Theatre — The Pasadena Playhouse. Initially founded in 1917, the theater was moved to its current South El Molino Avenue location in 1925. In advance of its centennial celebration in May, the Playhouse’s Producing Artistic Director Danny Feldman can explain what the State Theatre of California designation means.

  Solid work habits and curiosity supported Lynch throughout an incredibly productive career, but I think his massive and varied output was also du

  California is known for being the center of the tech industry, including artificial intelligence. Yet when it comes to tech companies deciding where to locate the data centers that are powering the AI boom, California isn’t the top choice. More data centers are located in states including Texas and Virginia than in the Golden State. And even that may be too much for California lawmakers, who have introduced legislation to restrict the growth of data centers in the state.

  California officials often blame a lack of funding for their failures to address the state’s multiple crises, yet an independent audit of Los Angeles’ spending of $2.3 billion in homeless services last year reinforces a point these pages often make: California governments fail to spend the money effectively. Officials can’t even tell taxpayers where the money went. As usual, the state’s pretty good and analyzing what went wrong after the fact.
