• Clippers pick up where they left off before All-Star break

  23-02-2019 23:30
  
  The Clippers insist, even with five new faces on the roster, their identity is intact.
  In Friday’s victory in Memphis, nine days since their last game, they proved it: They remain a tough-minded bunch, still wobbly in the third quarter and still buoyed by their bench.
  In the 112-106 victory, the Clippers (33-27) saw the remainder of a 22-point lead evaporate in the third quarter, when they mustered only 18 points. It wasn’t out of character for a team averaging 25.9 points in third q

The result — schools must now provide graphic instruction on protections used during vaginal, anal and oral sex.  Then there are details on how and where to obtain birth control and abortions from age 12 — without parental knowledge or consent. The mandated sex ed is required once in

• How rail could play a role in Southern California infrastructure improvements

  23-02-2019 21:00
  
  Gov. Gavin Newsom’s decision to pause the most expensive portions of the state’s high-speed rail project offers an opportunity to reexamine the future of intercity passenger rail in California. Although the bullet train was poorly conceived and executed, targeted investments in passenger rail could play a role in reducing congestion and pollution. To get these benefits, however, California should set aside grandiose new projects, concentrate on large urban areas, and build upon exist

• 4 big moments from Robyn’s return to LA with two nights of ‘Honey’

  23-02-2019 19:30
  
  There’s a tendency to dismiss dance music as a trifle, a pop confection of rhythms and beats with lots of sugar and little substance, but the return of Robyn – on the new album “Honey” and on stage in L.A. this weekend – gives the lie to that thesis.
  The Swedish singer played the first of two shows at the Hollywood Palladium as part of the Red Bull Music Festival Los Angeles, and while there certainly is plenty of disposable pop in the world today there’s very

  Cooperation is a reality in commercial real estate deals. Meaning, a buyer and seller or landlord and tenant must reach an agreement. Simple. But there are other layers of cooperation to factor in, including the professionals who represent each side such as brokers, lawyers, lenders, CPAs and the like.
  All must genuflect at the altar of the deal in order for it to close. Generally, the level of cooperation is enhanced when the advisers do their jobs. That is, conduct the tough conversations that

  23-02-2019 16:00
  
  As we head into the new year, nearly all commercial tenants will be experiencing an increase in their monthly rent.
  Why? It’s that time of year when commercial landlords issue new rent statements to their tenants. And tenants can expect their base minimum rent to increase by whatever annual percentage amount they negotiated with their landlord.
  Typically, this amount is 3 percent, but there are instances when a lesser amount could have been negotiated.
