    CSF outlasts UC Irvine to win series, take 1.5-game lead in Big West
    IRVINE – Cal State Fullerton’s series-clinching win Saturday against UC Irvine came down to big things done well and small things done even better.
    Trailing 3-1 going into the eighth at Cicerone Field, the Titans used two extra-base hits by Hank LoForte and Matthew Berryhill to draw even with the Anteaters, and in the ninth scored the go-ahead run without the benefit of a hit in an ultimate 5-3 win.
    The win moved the Titans to 21-20 on the season and 8-3 in league play, with every ot

    The EPA’s Scott Pruitt wants to foul California’s air
    I realize it’s a perfectly reasonable request, to try to separate the personal from the policy in politics. This is how his desperately defensive fans ask for, shudder, President Trump to be treated at this late stage in his time in office.
    And I get it. I mean, trying to separate out Trump’s lies and Gatsby-like carelessness about the fate of our nation and the Earth is like trying to separate  higher literacy rates under Castro from his jailing all dissenters.

    Walling bank regulators off from politics
    Wells Fargo was just fined a total of $1 billion by the federal government’s Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
    The fines are not related to the fake-account scandal, for which the bank was fined over $100 million in 2016. This time Wells Fargo was penalized for requiring auto-loan borrowers to pay for insurance they didn’t need, and for charging mortgage borrowers fees to extend interest-rate locks even when the need for the exten

    Why Metropolitan Water District of Southern California invested in the delta tunnels
    Recently, Southern California water leaders made their biggest investment decision in half a century. They decided to invest more than $10 billion in modernizing a key portion of the system that delivers 30 percent of the region’s overall supply from Northern California.
    An investment this big justifiably raises important policy questions about where Southland water management is heading. This investment in no way signals a shift away from Southern California’s increasing need to dev

    SAN FRANCISCO – There are times during the season when every bullpen move a manager makes is the right one.
    This is not one of those times for Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.
    Through the first 25 games of the season, the Dodgers’ bullpen has been a far cry from the group that played such a prominent role in last season’s success. Dodgers relievers rank 20th in the majors in ERA (4.42) and batting average allowed (.255), 18th in slugging percentage against (.416) and have given up

    No Trojans were picked on Day 3, including the fourth round through the seventh round, for the first time since the draft moved to a three-day format in 2010.
    The surprising development involved wide receiver Deontay Burnett, who left school with one season of eligibility remaining, but was not selected, becoming the seventh USC underclassmen in the past six years to go undrafted.

    Answer: I think you will be quite successful, as gourds are one of the easiest plants I’ve ever grown. Gourds are a warm-season crop and are best started by seed when the soil has warmed sufficiently (usually by mid-May).
