  Actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin, and nearly 50 other privileged elites, are charged with committing fraud for their roles in cheating their children’s way into prestigious universities.
  If they are convicted, does anyone truly expect these wealthy, white defendants to suffer the legal punishment handed out to poor, darker-skinned people who run afoul of the law?

  The Angels have agreed to terms with lefty Sam Freeman on a minor-league deal, giving them another hard-throwing option for their bullpen.
  Although the Angels may not add Freeman to the major league roster in time for Thursday’s opener, he is likely to be up soon, given his experience and peripheral numbers.

• Gardening: Looking for a hardy, drought-tolerant bush that has flowers and work as a barrier? Here you go

  27-03-2019 19:39
  
  I’m looking for some kind of bush or shrub or vine that will grow to around 5 or 6 feet or so and help create a security barrier over a 3-foot-high chainlink fence. It should look decent with some nice blooms, and need little to no pruning. It would be great if the bush was bird friendly, perhaps with berries; this would fit well with the birdbath in the backyard and my spreading bird seed a few times a week.
  I have considered firethorn (pyracantha), but not sure which variety would work.

  For most California housing experts, the solution to the state’s housing crisis is pretty intuitive: Build more housing. Study after study has indicated that too much demand and too little supply has led to the state’s exorbitant rents and sky-high home prices.
  But what policies will actually induce more homes to be built? And once those homes are built, do things really play out in the real world as you would expect in an Econ 101 textbook?
