Today's top stories from behind the Orange Curtain:

NOTE TO READERS: The two top local stories in the OC Register are a follow-up on the Sana Ana College fire alarm story and another on the DA's office and Carona. I'd loved to have linked to them, but the OC Register lamely failed to include them in its website.
Same for Martin Wiskol's Buzz column, which has been omitted from the website for the second week in a row.
I appreciate the OC Register's ongoing attempts to bloggify their website, but maybe they can start with basics like including their latest news stories on their website.
Yes, the OC Register website is terrible.

Everything in the Register is available online to 7 day subscribers but at http://epaper.ocregister.com/ not at ocregister.com
It is definitely not a user friendly arrangement.
