• Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard shook off some rust but needs his timing back

  26-04-2024 00:31 via ocregister.com
  
  Clippers star Kawhi Leonard took part in Thursday’s non-contact practice in Dallas, a move to further re-integrate him back into the offense. Leonard returned to the court for Game 2 of their first-round playoff series against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night and seemed at times an awkward fit.
  Certainly, out of sync.
  Leonard had missed 23 days because of inflammation in his surgically repaired right knee and the team learned how to win while he was away. The Clippers finished out the

• ‘Duplex’ law allowing 4 homes on a lot struck down for California’s charter cities

  26-04-2024 00:05 via ocregister.com
  
  A Los Angeles County judge found that charter cities aren’t subject to Senate Bill 9, the 2021 “duplex” law that allows up to four homes to be built on a lot in single-family neighborhoods.
  The law fails to accomplish its stated purpose of creating more affordable housing, and therefore, doesn’t meet the high bar of overriding local control over zoning, Superior Court Judge Curtis Kin said in a ruling released Wednesday, April 24.

• Theater review: ‘Tartuffe’ displays timeless humor at Laguna Playhouse

  25-04-2024 23:48 via ocregister.com
  
  Some human foibles turn out to age extremely well.
  A prime and playful example — in this case, seeing a huckster gull the gullible before the fraudster gets his come-uppance  — is Molière’s 360-year-old satire “Tartuffe.”
  A new production at Laguna Playhouse, with spot-on giggles and guffaws well in place, is satisfying, too, in “settling” for being quite content as a very well-acted and appealing show.

In January, Alabama executed Kenneth Smith by suffocating him using nitrogen gas, which isn’t even used to euthanize animals due to ethical concerns. This month, Missouri killed Brian Dorsey despite more than 70 correctional officers and members of the victim’s family advocating for clemency. Botched executions are routine, with individuals sometimes strapped to a gurney for hours.
