  The 26-year-old singer and actress, wearing a floral onesie, recently visited the high desert park east of Los Angeles, as her Instagram account shows. She also apparently thought, like some other tourists, that it would be fun to climb one of the park’s famously distinctive trees and pose for photos that she would share

  ANAHEIM — Ryan Kesler’s season is over, but he and the Ducks would like to find out sooner rather than later whether his career can continue beyond 2018-19, so they’re in the process of determining what the next course of action is for him and his wonky hip.
  The first step was to get him to halt the exhaustive process he underwent simply to play in 60 games this season. He’s continued to work out in the gym, but he’s been off the ice and hasn’t gone through th

• Land-use regulations are obstacles to the California dream

  03-04-2019 23:00
  
  George Skelton contends in a recent LA Times piece that for California to “solve its acute housing shortage” it must grow “up” — that is, build denser housing and give up on the idea of a “ranch-house lifestyle” with “ample backyard space.” That’s exactly the wrong prescription for a state whose urban areas are already the densest in the nation. In fact, to make housing affordable, California must grow out, not

  Ethan Hurst heard the screams while sitting on his surfboard in the dark ocean.

  There is a certain plant that has remarkable strength. I always think of an ox when reading about it or hearing its name and for an obvious reason: It’s called oxalis. Yet the etymology of oxalis has nothing to do with an ox. The word is derived from oxys, a Greek word for sharp, and sorrel, its common name, is cognate with sour. Indeed, oxalis or sorrel is of a sharp sour lemon flavor – which you can quickly confirm by plucking its foliage and briefly chewing on it. Some people toss
