It was a slow day yesterday and by the 4:30 meeting, editors weren’t feeling all that great about getting news content… but lo and behold, news happened. Here are some picks from the morning.

• U.S. Hispanic population is on pace to triple : Number to reach 438 million by 2050, study says
• Hold the salt : Cutting back on sodium starts at the supermarket
• Murder suspect’s troubles are years old : Orth, 25, recounted mental illness in 2000. This is perhaps the third mental illness-related murder covered in the S-R in recent weeks. Perhaps a time to revisit news coverage of mental health services, editors agreed.
• Photographer held in unsolved slaying : Wife’s throat cut in Anaheim in 1983
