• Rose Parade 2019: Amazing but true stories behind the New Year’s Day event

  23-12-2018 22:12 via ocregister.com
  
  Horses, floats and marching bands! That’s the Tournament of Roses Parade; however, it is the history of the iconic New Year’s Day celebration and its memorable moments — even occasional mishaps — that have secured its place in the annals of beloved American institutions.
  I still remember the thrill of my first Rose Parade — sitting on my father’s lap in a third-floor window of the Star-News building, as Grand Marshal Shirley Temple, in a white fur coat an

  SACRAMENTO – An anti-technology movement from early 19th-century Britain has long been part of our lexicon. Luddites were knitters who destroyed textile machines to protect their jobs. Today the term applies to anyone who fights a crusade against the modern economy. Original Luddites weren’t against technology per se, Smithsonian magazine explains, but only attacked manufacturers “who used machines in what they called ‘a fraudulent and deceitful manner’ to get aroun

  It’s bad enough when leftists smear capitalism. I hate it more when capitalists do it, too.

  I love the service he created. Amazon lets me buy Christmas gifts right from my couch. Its prices are so low that the Fed chairman says Amazon probably lowered America’s inflation rate.

  CARSON — Nobody said the NFL was fair. (Although you can interpret that any number of ways.) But when circumstances seem to be slanted against you, talent and will can win the day.
  The Baltimore Ravens were dealing with a short week, and they’d traveled across the country to play a Chargers team that had 10 days off. And, well, the game’s No. 1 defense and a young quarterback with fresh legs and no fear turned out to be the antidote.

  Gordon, who missed three games with a sprained MCL, was stymied by the Ravens’ vaunted rushing defense during a 22-10 loss at StubHub Center. Gordon recorded 41 yards on 12 carries and ran for a 1-yard touchdown.

  CARSON – In a high-stakes game of keep-away, here was their last, desperate line of defense.
  The Chargers defense stood at the 2-yard-line, understandably gassed. Midway through the second quarter, nothing seemed to be working. Their offense had no rhythm whatsoever; in three drives, the Chargers mustered a meager seven plays and 14 yards. The Ravens, meanwhile, had just driven the field in a dozen plays, and now, left with a fourth down, they were going for the jugular.

• Rams try to get on track with wins and Aaron Donald sacks, which go hand in hand

  23-12-2018 05:08 via ocregister.com
  
  The Rams are fond of saying that turnover margin is the best statistical predictor of wins and losses, but the sack numbers of star defensive lineman Aaron Donald are glaring.
  The Rams have a 16-0 record, since the start of the 2017 season, when Donald records at least one sack in a game. They’re 5-7 when he doesn’t, and that’s relevant because Donald has been strikingly quiet on the field in the past two weeks, when the Rams suffered losses to Chicago and Philadelphia.
