$15 an Hour: As California Goes …

Gov. Jerry Brown has announced a six-year plan to increase the statewide minimum wage to $15 an hour, a proposal we first told you about over the weekend. Will the rest of the country follow suit? A labor expert says New York could be the next state. (Jealous, much?) Meanwhile, a coalition of business groups say the proposed deal is “overreaching.” Could you live on California’s new minimum wage? Find out with our calculator.

Why the iPhone Case Isn’t Open and Shut

Federal officials finally unlocked the iPhone used by San Bernardino attacker Syed Rizwan Farook, and with that, they’ve dropped their legal fight against Apple. But Silicon Valley isn’t celebrating, as it still grapples with the larger questions of national security versus privacy. The hack itself also poses a new set of issues. In a potential case of turnabout, Apple attorneys may try to force the FBI to turn over details of how it broke into the phone.

An LGBT Battleground in the South

State by state, liberals and conservatives are waging fights over who can be granted or denied protections related to housing, employment or even public bathrooms. The latest: Georgia, where Gov. Nathan Deal vetoed a “religious liberty” bill that would have made it legal to deny services to gay people; and North Carolina, where Gov. Pat McCrory is defending a new law to prohibit legal protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Here’s why the conflict has only grown since last summer.

The Secret Life of Yosemite’s Rocks

“Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space,” photographer Ansel Adams once wrote. As it turns out, the sunrise can stir that very edifice too. A pair of geologists have found that a 20-metric ton wall of granite can move about one centimeter a day. Read on to see why one says Yosemite’s rock formations are “kind of breathing.”

Bachelor No. 647, How Is Your Korean?

Tinder, eHarmony ... forget it. Some Korean American parents have been playing matchmaker for their sons and daughters at a Koreatown event that reporter Victoria Kim describes as “a cross between a business pitch meeting, speed dating and bingo night.” Each parent gives a two-minute introduction, laying out the “specs”: age, profession, education, hobbies, religion and Korean proficiency for starters. A few of the prospects show up too. Go inside the world of “Chungsil Hongsil.”

ONLY IN L.A.

The building at Vermont and Kingswell avenues in Los Feliz is nondescript: two stories, gray, with air conditioners stuck in the windows. From 1923 to 1926, it was home to the imaginative minds of Disney Bros. Studio — essentially the entertainment giant’s birthplace. Today, you can make photocopies, buy a skateboard or get a tattoo there. See pictures of the place then and now. PS: It doesn’t have historical protection status.
