The practice is known as prior authorization. Criticism of it reached a fever pitch last year and California is leading the way with reform.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2026/02/09/nx-s1-5698519/bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime\">\u003cstrong>Bad Bunny Makes Puerto Rico The Home Team In A Vivid Super Bowl Halftime Show\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>During the halftime show at Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Bad Bunny paid homage to his home of Puerto Rico. He weaved his way through a set that featured barber shops and bodegas, family gatherings and elders playing dominos. But he also expanded his lens to make an argument about the place of Puerto Rico within a larger American context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over a 13-minute set that included more than a dozen of his songs, almost all in Spanish, the artist born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio made the perpetual in-betweenness of his home sing. Puerto Rico has long struggled to find its place in the Americas. Too Latin for some in the United States, as reinforced by much of the controversy leading up to Sunday night’s performance and too closely associated with the United States to be fully accepted by some in Latin America. As Bad Bunny often does, he turned not fitting in into a super power, leveraging Puerto Rico’s caught-between-two-worlds cultural identity to create an inclusive, All-American image.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bad Bunny’s opening words are always worth paying attention to. “Que rico es ser Latino,” he said to start the show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

The practice is known as prior authorization. Criticism of it reached a fever pitch last year and California is leading the way with reform.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2026/02/09/nx-s1-5698519/bad-bunny-super-bowl-halftime\">\u003cstrong>Bad Bunny Makes Puerto Rico The Home Team In A Vivid Super Bowl Halftime Show\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>During the halftime show at Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Bad Bunny paid homage to his home of Puerto Rico. He weaved his way through a set that featured barber shops and bodegas, family gatherings and elders playing dominos. But he also expanded his lens to make an argument about the place of Puerto Rico within a larger American context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over a 13-minute set that included more than a dozen of his songs, almost all in Spanish, the artist born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio made the perpetual in-betweenness of his home sing. Puerto Rico has long struggled to find its place in the Americas. Too Latin for some in the United States, as reinforced by much of the controversy leading up to Sunday night’s performance and too closely associated with the United States to be fully accepted by some in Latin America. As Bad Bunny often does, he turned not fitting in into a super power, leveraging Puerto Rico’s caught-between-two-worlds cultural identity to create an inclusive, All-American image.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bad Bunny’s opening words are always worth paying attention to. “Que rico es ser Latino,” he said to start the show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. Though there isn’t really a proper English translation, the phrase means something close to, “How wonderful it is to be Latino,” though the understanding of the Spanish phrase is more indulgent. Bad Bunny’s opening line on each of the 31 nights of his residency last summer in San Juan was “Puerto Rico, estamos en casa.” From beat one at the Super Bowl, he made it clear that the casa had expanded.

So in 2022, she posted a \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/CfwwlRxlP0g/\">video on Instagram\u003c/a> to address the artist directly. “Hi, Benito, Bad Bunny, hope you see this video,” she said in Spanish while signing. “Did you know that there are roughly 100,000 Deaf people in Puerto Rico? The majority like your songs, but they haven’t had the chance to experience a concert with an interpreter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A week later, Rivera Cosme was on tour with Bad Bunny as one of his official sign language interpreters. She’ll now join the Puerto Rican star as he headlines the Super Bowl halftime show at Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium. It’s first time in the show’s history that it will feature lyrics entirely in Spanish, and the first time Puerto Rican Sign Language will be in the spotlight on one of the country’s biggest stages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m so excited,” Rivera Cosme told KQED in Puerto Rican Sign Language, or LSPR, during an interview assisted by an interpreter. “And the Deaf people of Puerto Rico are happy that the Super Bowl will be accessible to them in their own sign language.” Rivera Cosme will sign Bad Bunny’s lyrics in LSPR, bouncing on stage with the full-body energy of the music. LSPR is different from American Sign Language, or ASL, and Bad Bunny’s distinctly Puerto Rican slang already figures into its vocabulary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rivera Cosme’s Super Bowl halftime performance marks an important shift for Deaf representation. Historically, concerts have featured hearing interpreters, but many Deaf audiences prefer Deaf interpreters who are more fluent in their language and culture. Since she’s partially Deaf, Rivera Cosme spends time ahead of the concert listening to the set list through headphones, reading the lyrics and preparing to give a dynamic show for Deaf Bad Bunny fans who enjoy the bass-heavy reggaeton beats and high-energy salsas through their vibrations. As she looks forward to the Super Bowl, Rivera Cosme says she’s especially proud to interpret songs that spotlight Puerto Rican traditions, like “Cafe Con Ron,” which features the folk ensemble Pleneros de la Cresta. “I grew up in the mountains, in the countryside,” she said. “So I really identify with that song.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Octavio Cuenca Maldonado, president of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nhlad.org/\">National Hispanic Latino Association of the Deaf\u003c/a>, says this Super Bowl halftime show is much more than a performance. Speaking through an interpreter, he says Rivera Cosme is providing crucial representation for Deaf Latinos. “This is about language, culture, identity, and recognition by the world,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s rare for interpreters’ cultural background to reflect the music itself, says AV Vilavong, a Deaf concert interpreter who performs at major music festivals across the country. “The fact that Celimar is Puerto Rican, there are cultural nuances that are already embedded in how she, as a Deaf interpreter, will match the tone, the cultural aspects, the songs, the significance behind the slang for particular vocabulary,” Vilavong says through an interpeter. “It’s embedded in who she is as an individual.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12072450/immigrants-suing-ice-over-detention-conditions-get-their-day-in-court-in-sf\">\u003cstrong>Immigrants Suing ICE Over Detention Conditions Get Their Day In Court \u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A group of detained immigrants who say their rights are being violated at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12070519/california-senators-visit-immigration-jail-ahead-of-looming-ice-funding-bill-deadline\">California City immigration detention facility\u003c/a> in the Mojave Desert will get their first day in court on Friday before a federal judge in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/cases/gomez-ruiz-et-al-v-ice\">lawsuit\u003c/a> alleges that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12071297/bay-area-congressman-ramps-up-push-to-bring-ice-detention-conditions-to-light\">conditions at the 2,560-bed immigration jail\u003c/a> operated by a for-profit contractor are so bad that they violate the Constitution and a law meant to protect people with disabilities. It points to meager medical care, inadequate access to lawyers and an environment so punishing it’s worse than a high-security prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit comes as a record number of people are being held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention — more than 70,000 as of late January — and a growing number of them are dying. There were 32 deaths in 2025, the highest in two decades, and ICE has reported that six people have died in custody since the start of this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The detainees are asking U.S. District Judge Maxine Chesney to order ICE to ensure that conditions improve so they comply with the Rehabilitation Act and the 1st and 5th amendments to the Constitution. They’re also asking her to make the case a class action to cover everyone held at the California City facility. Cody Harris, a partner at Keker, Van Nest & Peters, who’s part of a team representing the detainees, said ICE and CoreCivic, the company that owns and operates the former prison in California City, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12054544/californias-newest-immigration-facility-is-also-its-biggest-is-it-operating-legally\">opened it in haste last August\u003c/a>, unprepared to handle even routine medical needs, let alone serious ones. “Their staffing was not ready, their training was not ready, the facility itself wasn’t ready,” he said. “They set out to make this the biggest immigration detention facility in the entire state … and they just weren’t ready to do that.” ICE and the Department of Homeland Security dispute the allegations. In court filings, they argue that the law does not require them to treat detainees better than prisoners and say the California City facility has an experienced warden who follows ICE’s detention standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Kern County Sues Oil Producer\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The District Attorney’s office in Kern County has filed a lawsuit, accusing an oil and gas producer of environmental violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DA Cynthia Zimmer filed a criminal and civil complaint against 25 Hill Properties Incorporated and its owner – Ronald Engelberg.

The allegations include illegal storage and dumping of toxic waste, as well as illegally spilling oil into state waterways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engelberg’s company was previously sued for failing to report spills and illegally disposing of hazardous waste.

So in 2022, she posted a \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/CfwwlRxlP0g/\">video on Instagram\u003c/a> to address the artist directly. “Hi, Benito, Bad Bunny, hope you see this video,” she said in Spanish while signing. “Did you know that there are roughly 100,000 Deaf people in Puerto Rico? The majority like your songs, but they haven’t had the chance to experience a concert with an interpreter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A week later, Rivera Cosme was on tour with Bad Bunny as one of his official sign language interpreters. She’ll now join the Puerto Rican star as he headlines the Super Bowl halftime show at Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium. It’s first time in the show’s history that it will feature lyrics entirely in Spanish, and the first time Puerto Rican Sign Language will be in the spotlight on one of the country’s biggest stages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m so excited,” Rivera Cosme told KQED in Puerto Rican Sign Language, or LSPR, during an interview assisted by an interpreter. “And the Deaf people of Puerto Rico are happy that the Super Bowl will be accessible to them in their own sign language.” Rivera Cosme will sign Bad Bunny’s lyrics in LSPR, bouncing on stage with the full-body energy of the music. LSPR is different from American Sign Language, or ASL, and Bad Bunny’s distinctly Puerto Rican slang already figures into its vocabulary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rivera Cosme’s Super Bowl halftime performance marks an important shift for Deaf representation. Historically, concerts have featured hearing interpreters, but many Deaf audiences prefer Deaf interpreters who are more fluent in their language and culture. Since she’s partially Deaf, Rivera Cosme spends time ahead of the concert listening to the set list through headphones, reading the lyrics and preparing to give a dynamic show for Deaf Bad Bunny fans who enjoy the bass-heavy reggaeton beats and high-energy salsas through their vibrations. As she looks forward to the Super Bowl, Rivera Cosme says she’s especially proud to interpret songs that spotlight Puerto Rican traditions, like “Cafe Con Ron,” which features the folk ensemble Pleneros de la Cresta. “I grew up in the mountains, in the countryside,” she said. “So I really identify with that song.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Speaking through an interpreter, he says Rivera Cosme is providing crucial representation for Deaf Latinos. “This is about language, culture, identity, and recognition by the world,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s rare for interpreters’ cultural background to reflect the music itself, says AV Vilavong, a Deaf concert interpreter who performs at major music festivals across the country. “The fact that Celimar is Puerto Rican, there are cultural nuances that are already embedded in how she, as a Deaf interpreter, will match the tone, the cultural aspects, the songs, the significance behind the slang for particular vocabulary,” Vilavong says through an interpeter. “It’s embedded in who she is as an individual.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12072450/immigrants-suing-ice-over-detention-conditions-get-their-day-in-court-in-sf\">\u003cstrong>Immigrants Suing ICE Over Detention Conditions Get Their Day In Court \u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A group of detained immigrants who say their rights are being violated at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12070519/california-senators-visit-immigration-jail-ahead-of-looming-ice-funding-bill-deadline\">California City immigration detention facility\u003c/a> in the Mojave Desert will get their first day in court on Friday before a federal judge in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/cases/gomez-ruiz-et-al-v-ice\">lawsuit\u003c/a> alleges that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12071297/bay-area-congressman-ramps-up-push-to-bring-ice-detention-conditions-to-light\">conditions at the 2,560-bed immigration jail\u003c/a> operated by a for-profit contractor are so bad that they violate the Constitution and a law meant to protect people with disabilities. It points to meager medical care, inadequate access to lawyers and an environment so punishing it’s worse than a high-security prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit comes as a record number of people are being held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention — more than 70,000 as of late January — and a growing number of them are dying. There were 32 deaths in 2025, the highest in two decades, and ICE has reported that six people have died in custody since the start of this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The detainees are asking U.S. District Judge Maxine Chesney to order ICE to ensure that conditions improve so they comply with the Rehabilitation Act and the 1st and 5th amendments to the Constitution. They’re also asking her to make the case a class action to cover everyone held at the California City facility. Cody Harris, a partner at Keker, Van Nest & Peters, who’s part of a team representing the detainees, said ICE and CoreCivic, the company that owns and operates the former prison in California City, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12054544/californias-newest-immigration-facility-is-also-its-biggest-is-it-operating-legally\">opened it in haste last August\u003c/a>, unprepared to handle even routine medical needs, let alone serious ones. “Their staffing was not ready, their training was not ready, the facility itself wasn’t ready,” he said. “They set out to make this the biggest immigration detention facility in the entire state … and they just weren’t ready to do that.” ICE and the Department of Homeland Security dispute the allegations. In court filings, they argue that the law does not require them to treat detainees better than prisoners and say the California City facility has an experienced warden who follows ICE’s detention standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Kern County Sues Oil Producer\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The District Attorney’s office in Kern County has filed a lawsuit, accusing an oil and gas producer of environmental violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DA Cynthia Zimmer filed a criminal and civil complaint against 25 Hill Properties Incorporated and its owner – Ronald Engelberg. She said the company holds multiple oil and gas leases near the city of Taft,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company is accused of hundreds of violations that were identified by the state agency overseeing oil and gas operations. The allegations include illegal storage and dumping of toxic waste, as well as illegally spilling oil into state waterways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engelberg’s company was previously sued for failing to report spills and illegally disposing of hazardous waste. That case was settled in 2022. But state regulators allege the company continued to commit violations. Engelberg was arraigned on the new charges on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

More than 184,000 people have signed a petition calling on the league to denounce \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12071370/as-bay-area-gears-up-to-host-super-bowl-lx-and-bad-bunny-halftime-show-fears-of-ice-loom\">the potential presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement\u003c/a> at the Super Bowl, which is being held at \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/levis-stadium\">Levi’s Stadium\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, anticipation is building around how \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/tag/bad-bunny\">Bad Bunny\u003c/a>, the halftime show’s Spanish-speaking headliner, will address the moment. He has criticized President Donald Trump on everything from his hurricane response in his native Puerto Rico to his treatment of immigrants. On Sunday night, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13986130/grammys-2026-10-takeaways-from-a-historic-chaotic-night\">he blasted ICE while accepting an award at the Grammys\u003c/a>. His latest tour skipped the continental U.S. because of fears that his fans could be targeted by immigration agents. Trump has said he doesn’t plan to attend this year’s game, unlike last year, and he has derided Bad Bunny as a “terrible choice.” A Republican senator is calling it “the woke bowl.” And a prominent conservative group plans to hold an alternative show that it hopes will steal attention from the main event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s used his music to speak out about social issues affecting Puerto Rico since the very beginning of his career and his latest album, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos”, puts his politics into much sharper focus,” said KQED Arts Editor Nastia Voynovskaya. “On the album he sings about Puerto Rico’s status as a U.S. Territory and he highlights the civic neglect and lack of investment and opportunities that forces Puerto Ricans to leave their homeland. This was the most streamed album on Spotify globally last year. And I think part of that reason is that it has themes that resonate with immigrants cross-culturally — about displacement, gentrification, and loving your people even when the powers that be don’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NFL, which is working to expand its appeal across the world, including into Latin America, said it never considered removing Bad Bunny from the halftime show even after criticism from Trump and some of his supporters. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday described the singer as “one of the great artists in the world,” as well as someone who understands the power of the Super Bowl performance “to unite people and to be able to bring people together.” “I think artists in the past have done that. I think Bad Bunny understands that. And I think you’ll have a great performance,” Goodell told reporters during his annual Super Bowl press conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Naturalization Ceremony Canceled In Fresno\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A naturalization ceremony in Fresno to swear in new U.S. citizens was abruptly cancelled last month. The naturalization ceremony is the final step before becoming a U.S. citizen. And the cancellation notice came from the federal government less than a day before the ceremony was scheduled for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gregorio Matiaz is with CBDIO, a non-profit that serves Indigenous Mexicans in the San Joaquin Valley. “Usually, these events are big. I would say more than 60 people, around that,” he said. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services would not confirm how many people were impacted by the cancellation, but said it was due to staffing constraints. It was scheduled to take place at the local USCIS filed office and has been rescheduled for February 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matiaz said there’s a lot of confusion in the community. “What I’m hearing is a lot of fear, a lot of precautions when going out,” he said. Matiaz added that a last minute cancellation can also be a big hassle, because USCIS doesn’t provide interpreters and applicants all need to arrange their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2026/01/marijauna-laws-driving/\">\u003cstrong>Cops Have To Treat Marijuana In Your Car Differently After New CA Supreme Court Ruling\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When it comes to impaired driving and the state’s open container law, a rolled and ready joint is more like a can of beer in giving police cause to search a car than a few crumbs of marijuana, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/california-supreme-court/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">California Supreme Court\u003c/a>. The court’s reasoning: You can smoke a joint and drink a beer, but loose marijuana isn’t readily consumable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www4.courts.ca.gov/opinions/documents/S287164.PDF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ruling handed down last month\u003c/a>, the high court ruled that police must find marijuana in a condition that’s ready to be smoked if they are going to charge a driver with an open container violation. “We hold that at a minimum, to constitute a violation of (the open container law), marijuana in a vehicle must be of a usable quantity, in imminently usable condition, and readily accessible to an occupant,” wrote Associate Justice Goodwin Liu in a unanimous opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loose marijuana found on a car’s floorboards is like spilled beer, the court ruled. “In assessing whether the marijuana is imminently usable or readily accessible, courts should consider whether the marijuana could be consumed with minimal effort by an occupant of the vehicle,” the court found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ruling reversed a magistrate judge, trial court and the California Court of Appeal, which had all agreed that the loose marijuana constituted an open container violation and gave police cause to search a vehicle. \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/tag/marijuana/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Recreational marijuana\u003c/a> has been legal in California since 2016 when voters passed an initiative allowing it. It remains illegal under federal law.\u003c/p>\n\n",

More than 184,000 people have signed a petition calling on the league to denounce \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12071370/as-bay-area-gears-up-to-host-super-bowl-lx-and-bad-bunny-halftime-show-fears-of-ice-loom\">the potential presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement\u003c/a> at the Super Bowl, which is being held at \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/levis-stadium\">Levi’s Stadium\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, anticipation is building around how \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/tag/bad-bunny\">Bad Bunny\u003c/a>, the halftime show’s Spanish-speaking headliner, will address the moment. He has criticized President Donald Trump on everything from his hurricane response in his native Puerto Rico to his treatment of immigrants. On Sunday night, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13986130/grammys-2026-10-takeaways-from-a-historic-chaotic-night\">he blasted ICE while accepting an award at the Grammys\u003c/a>. His latest tour skipped the continental U.S. because of fears that his fans could be targeted by immigration agents. Trump has said he doesn’t plan to attend this year’s game, unlike last year, and he has derided Bad Bunny as a “terrible choice.” A Republican senator is calling it “the woke bowl.” And a prominent conservative group plans to hold an alternative show that it hopes will steal attention from the main event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s used his music to speak out about social issues affecting Puerto Rico since the very beginning of his career and his latest album, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos”, puts his politics into much sharper focus,” said KQED Arts Editor Nastia Voynovskaya. “On the album he sings about Puerto Rico’s status as a U.S. Territory and he highlights the civic neglect and lack of investment and opportunities that forces Puerto Ricans to leave their homeland. This was the most streamed album on Spotify globally last year. And I think part of that reason is that it has themes that resonate with immigrants cross-culturally — about displacement, gentrification, and loving your people even when the powers that be don’t.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NFL, which is working to expand its appeal across the world, including into Latin America, said it never considered removing Bad Bunny from the halftime show even after criticism from Trump and some of his supporters. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday described the singer as “one of the great artists in the world,” as well as someone who understands the power of the Super Bowl performance “to unite people and to be able to bring people together.” “I think artists in the past have done that. I think Bad Bunny understands that. And I think you’ll have a great performance,” Goodell told reporters during his annual Super Bowl press conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Naturalization Ceremony Canceled In Fresno\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A naturalization ceremony in Fresno to swear in new U.S. citizens was abruptly cancelled last month.

This comes a year after thousands of homes were lost in devastating wildfires in the region. These programs carry on the legacy of one of LA’s most famous architectural experiments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1945, the editor of \u003ci>Arts & Architecture\u003c/i> magazine, John Entenza, started an experiment. LA needed homes for soldiers returning from World War II, and Entenza’s idea was to enlist hotshot architects to design homes that could be built quickly and inexpensively, with what were at the time new, low-cost materials. That project was called the \u003ca class=\"rich-text-hyperlink\" href=\"https://www.dwell.com/article/10-iconic-case-study-houses-in-southern-california-7e5ad7c0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cu>Case Study House program\u003c/u>\u003c/a>, which produced two dozen homes in LA by architects like Schindler, Neutra, and Eames. Back then, the impetus for building quickly was to address the rise of the middle class. Now, the impetus is to rebuild communities destroyed in the fires a year ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, with thousands of homeowners desperate to design, permit, and build homes, some architects and builders have looked to the Case Study program as a model for speeding things up. A few of them have started projects to, once again, get hotshot architects to create house designs that homeowners could just pull off the shelf, saving everybody months of back-and-forth. That’s led to \u003ca class=\"rich-text-hyperlink\" href=\"https://www.casestudy2.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cu>Case Study 2.0\u003c/u>\u003c/a>, a project started by brothers Steven and Jason Somers of \u003ca class=\"rich-text-hyperlink\" href=\"https://www.crestrealestate.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cu>Crest Real Estate\u003c/u>\u003c/a>. “We wanted to take a lot of that forward-thinking mentality that was a core tenet of the original Case Study houses program, and try to adapt it to the problems of today, where we’re trying to rebuild thousands of houses,” says Steven Somers. “But people don’t necessarily just want to rebuild what is the fastest or just the least expensive. People also want something that is beautiful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Somerses asked dozens of high-end architects to design houses, pro bono, that homeowners could choose from. They’ve got a \u003ca class=\"rich-text-hyperlink\" href=\"https://www.casestudy2.com/homes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cu>catalog of 74 homes\u003c/u>\u003c/a> so far.

The Haffords had lived in the Palisades for 35 years when the fires destroyed their 1941 bungalow and most of the other houses on their street. They’re retired, their kids are grown, and as they told me on a call from Idaho, they knew they wanted to get back ASAP. “Right from the get-go, I think we were pretty convinced that we wanted to stay there,” says Doug Hafford. “We definitely wanted this kind of mid-century modern vibe, right? And we wanted big open spaces and high ceilings and as much air and light as possible,” adds Deborah Hafford. With any luck, they could be in their new home by the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1999949/californias-snowpack-is-shrinking-but-winter-isnt-over-yet\">\u003cstrong>California’s Snowpack Is Shrinking, But Winter Isn’t Over Yet\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As state water officials surveyed the Sierra Nevada snowpack on Friday, California seems to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1978337/with-snowpack-in-decline-californias-weather-whiplash-could-mean-alternating-drought-and-flooding\">repeating last winter’s topsy-turvy weather whiplash\u003c/a> between super wet and dry conditions, raising worries about diminishing snow reservoirs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three weeks ago, the snowpack was glistening white after storm after storm hit the Sierra during a December drenched by atmospheric rivers. But most of January, historically California’s wettest month, has been virtually dry, and today the snowpack sits at just \u003ca href=\"https://snow.water.ca.gov/\">36% of the April 1 average\u003c/a>, which water leaders look to as the measuring stick for the state’s frozen reservoir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The size of the snowpack is a big deal because it accounts for about a third of the state’s water supply, which millions of people, cities and farms rely on the rest of the year. “We’ve been in this position before, and we’ve caught up in the past,” said Andy Reising, manager of the state’s Snow Surveys and Water Supply Forecasting Unit. “We don’t want to be going backwards at this time of year; we need more storms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue this winter, Reising said, is that big atmospheric rivers brought more rain than snow in late December and early January, especially at lower elevations. And then the temperatures warmed up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What may be occurring is a phenomenon known as weather whiplash. Warming temperatures are deepening California’s natural weather pattern, which bounces from wet to super-dry conditions that warmer temperatures can worsen. This can melt precious snow reservoirs early. “We’re lucky that we got the fall and December that we did, because had this been the pattern all winter, we’d be in big trouble,” Daniel Swain, a University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources climate scientist, said in his virtual office hours YouTube series. But the snowpack across the Sierra Nevada is a tale of three realities. The northern part of the state is at 44% of normal, the Central Sierra at 59%, and the Southern Sierra at 77% for this time of year. Altogether, the state’s snowpack is at 59% of normal for this time of year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/2026-grammy-awards-4d631de5d968b51276a8f06b76580e20\">\u003cstrong>Bad Bunny Wins Album Of The Year At 2026 Grammy Awards\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Bad Bunny won album of the year at the \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/live/grammys-2026-updates\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">2026 Grammy Awards\u003c/a>\u003c/span> for his critically-acclaimed \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/bad-bunny-debi-tirar-mas-fotos-review-856f8e4f89e48e6ab104a491ae3dbcde\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">“Debí Tirar Más Fotos,”\u003c/a>\u003c/span> closing out a surprising and history-making night.

This comes a year after thousands of homes were lost in devastating wildfires in the region. These programs carry on the legacy of one of LA’s most famous architectural experiments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1945, the editor of \u003ci>Arts & Architecture\u003c/i> magazine, John Entenza, started an experiment. LA needed homes for soldiers returning from World War II, and Entenza’s idea was to enlist hotshot architects to design homes that could be built quickly and inexpensively, with what were at the time new, low-cost materials. That project was called the \u003ca class=\"rich-text-hyperlink\" href=\"https://www.dwell.com/article/10-iconic-case-study-houses-in-southern-california-7e5ad7c0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cu>Case Study House program\u003c/u>\u003c/a>, which produced two dozen homes in LA by architects like Schindler, Neutra, and Eames. Back then, the impetus for building quickly was to address the rise of the middle class. Now, the impetus is to rebuild communities destroyed in the fires a year ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, with thousands of homeowners desperate to design, permit, and build homes, some architects and builders have looked to the Case Study program as a model for speeding things up. A few of them have started projects to, once again, get hotshot architects to create house designs that homeowners could just pull off the shelf, saving everybody months of back-and-forth. That’s led to \u003ca class=\"rich-text-hyperlink\" href=\"https://www.casestudy2.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cu>Case Study 2.0\u003c/u>\u003c/a>, a project started by brothers Steven and Jason Somers of \u003ca class=\"rich-text-hyperlink\" href=\"https://www.crestrealestate.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cu>Crest Real Estate\u003c/u>\u003c/a>. “We wanted to take a lot of that forward-thinking mentality that was a core tenet of the original Case Study houses program, and try to adapt it to the problems of today, where we’re trying to rebuild thousands of houses,” says Steven Somers. “But people don’t necessarily just want to rebuild what is the fastest or just the least expensive. People also want something that is beautiful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Somerses asked dozens of high-end architects to design houses, pro bono, that homeowners could choose from. They’ve got a \u003ca class=\"rich-text-hyperlink\" href=\"https://www.casestudy2.com/homes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cu>catalog of 74 homes\u003c/u>\u003c/a> so far.

They’re retired, their kids are grown, and as they told me on a call from Idaho, they knew they wanted to get back ASAP. “Right from the get-go, I think we were pretty convinced that we wanted to stay there,” says Doug Hafford. “We definitely wanted this kind of mid-century modern vibe, right? And we wanted big open spaces and high ceilings and as much air and light as possible,” adds Deborah Hafford.

But most of January, historically California’s wettest month, has been virtually dry, and today the snowpack sits at just \u003ca href=\"https://snow.water.ca.gov/\">36% of the April 1 average\u003c/a>, which water leaders look to as the measuring stick for the state’s frozen reservoir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The size of the snowpack is a big deal because it accounts for about a third of the state’s water supply, which millions of people, cities and farms rely on the rest of the year. “We’ve been in this position before, and we’ve caught up in the past,” said Andy Reising, manager of the state’s Snow Surveys and Water Supply Forecasting Unit. “We don’t want to be going backwards at this time of year; we need more storms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue this winter, Reising said, is that big atmospheric rivers brought more rain than snow in late December and early January, especially at lower elevations. And then the temperatures warmed up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What may be occurring is a phenomenon known as weather whiplash. Warming temperatures are deepening California’s natural weather pattern, which bounces from wet to super-dry conditions that warmer temperatures can worsen. This can melt precious snow reservoirs early. “We’re lucky that we got the fall and December that we did, because had this been the pattern all winter, we’d be in big trouble,” Daniel Swain, a University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources climate scientist, said in his virtual office hours YouTube series. But the snowpack across the Sierra Nevada is a tale of three realities. The northern part of the state is at 44% of normal, the Central Sierra at 59%, and the Southern Sierra at 77% for this time of year. Altogether, the state’s snowpack is at 59% of normal for this time of year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"Page-headline\">\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/2026-grammy-awards-4d631de5d968b51276a8f06b76580e20\">\u003cstrong>Bad Bunny Wins Album Of The Year At 2026 Grammy Awards\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Bad Bunny won album of the year at the \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/live/grammys-2026-updates\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">2026 Grammy Awards\u003c/a>\u003c/span> for his critically-acclaimed \u003cspan class=\"LinkEnhancement\">\u003ca class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" href=\"https://apnews.com/article/bad-bunny-debi-tirar-mas-fotos-review-856f8e4f89e48e6ab104a491ae3dbcde\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\">“Debí Tirar Más Fotos,”\u003c/a>\u003c/span> closing out a surprising and history-making night.
