    Angels open a new pitching experiment with Hansel Robles, Jaime Barría
    ANAHEIM — On Saturday night, Angels manager Brad Ausmus informed Scott Servais, his counterpart in the Mariners’ dugout on Sunday, that he was replacing his scheduled starting pitcher with an “opener.” Jaime Barría moved to the bullpen for a day. Hansel Robles got his first career start in his 235th career game.
    Servais’ reaction?
    It wasn’t much of one.
    “No change” to the lineup, Servais said. “When the ‘opener’ stuff comes

    SB37 would undermine the state economy to prop up a failed status quo
    You wouldn’t know it, but the California state motto is still “Eureka,” not “We’re raising taxes again because we need the money for the schools.”
    The latest proposal to raise taxes “for the schools” is Senate Bill 37 by Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley. SB37 would raise the corporate income tax rate from the current 8.84% to 10.84%, and possibly as high as 14.84% if a company is judged to be paying its top executive too much money relative to the me

    MILWAUKEE — It’s not that A.J. Pollock has gotten off to a terrible start. He just hasn’t gotten off to a good one.
    Out of the starting lineup Sunday for only the third time in the Dodgers’ first 24 games, Pollock carried a .238 batting average to the bench with him. His on-base (.305) and slugging (.369) percentages lag well behind his career norms. Over the previous 11 games, he was just 6 for 33 (.182).

    After thousands upon thousands of people flocked to the campgrounds of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Sunday, April 21, for Kanye West’s Easter Sunday Service, fans talked about the event, which was part spiritual service, part concert.
    “It was the highlight of the festival,” said Rachel Covarrubias, a 21-year-old from Salt Lake City who took an Uber from her AirBnB to see West Sunday morning.

    Here’s even more evidence that Southern California’s running out of workers: one measure of pay shows wages are growing at the quickest pace in five years.
    March employment data shows the post-recession hiring spree has finally forced bosses to pay up. Average private-sector weekly earnings in March — complied from wage stats and figures on hours worked — for the region’s two metropolitan areas were rising at the fastest pace since March 2014.

    After months of whittling down a list of more than 500 nominees, the Orange County Register is proud to announce this year’s Artists of the Year.
    They are: Irene Kim, dance; Caitlyn Phu, film/animation; Eilyssa Maclean, vocal music; Dianne Seo, instrumental music; Hannah Hart Franklin, theater; Z. Perkins, 2D visual arts; and Josh Henslick, 3D visual arts.

    Artist of the Year for dance: Irene Kim
    The choice of a dance to a song called “Desert Path” was particularly apt for Irene Kim, a 16-year-old junior at Crean Lutheran. That’s because Kim’s life’s journey as an artist has been all about finding her own direction.
    “It’s about my path as a journey and the destination challenge,” Kim said of the modern dance piece she choreographed. “It’s the journey, the experience and the movement.”

    One judge summed up a consensus feeling when she said, “When Meryl Streep walks in, that’s the Artist of the Year.”
    In the case of this year’s Artist of the Year in theater, it was Hannah Hart Franklin who delivered the Streep-worthy performance. The actress put together two monologues, one from from August Wilson’s “King Hedley II,” and the other from “Two Noble Kinsmen,” by William Shakespeare and John Fletcher, to win top honors.

    As a child, Eilyssa Maclean would climb into the lap of her father in the family’s studio and together they would listen to opera. Later, she would sing for him, her voice billowing through the family home.
    When Maclean was 11, the music died when her father passed away.
