San Diego County is no longer planning to charge motorists a fee for every mile they drive. The so-called "road usage charge" had been a key component of the county's regional transportation plan. Then, when talking about emissions and climate change, the conversation often focuses on greenhouse gas emissions. Now there’s new information on the impacts aerosol emissions have on climate, and human health. Next, unauthorized immigration across the southwest border is at historic levels. What does that mean for San Diego? And, the Army Corps of Engineers is probably best known for its work on waterways. But those projects also unearth many historical artifacts the Corps must document and maintain. After, the 65th annual Monterey Jazz Festival was held this weekend. We bring you the story behind an unprecedented musical that featured a glittering array of jazz titans, including Louis Armstrong that premiered at the festival 60 years ago. Finally, for our Influential music series, San Diego Jazz pianist Joshua White picked 5 iconic local musicians whose work has impacted him and the jazz scene in San Diego and beyond.

Artists Brody Albert and Nathaniel Klein will open a new exhibition, "A, B, C, D" at Best Practice on July 9, with a reception from 5-8 p.m. Albert is based in Los Angeles; Klein is based in San Diego and Denver. They use object-based sculpture, assemblage, multimedia, performance and installation work. More information from the gallery: Brody Albert’s meticulously produced sculptures translate pedestrian objects to platonic ideals. For this exhibition, Brody took two objects (scare-owls and cardboard boxes), reproduced them in shifting scales and hues, and arranged them to make a series of visual koans. Nathaniel Klein’s video work eschews editing in favor of choreographed movements in and between frames. For this exhibition, Nathaniel made five videos composed of objects collected from 99¢ stores, sorted by color, and arranged into interrelated, evolving still lifes. Brody is an artist and educator based in Los Angeles, California. Nathaniel is an artist and educator recently relocated to Denver, Colorado. Working collaboratively as OH since 2014, Brody and Nathaniel design and publish small-run Risograph and screen-printed publications, and occasionally curate. This exhibition at Best Practice will include a new OH publication take-away. Related links: Best Practice on Instagram
