• Titan Voice: CSUF research opportunities help ‘thinker’ envision his career

  By Corbyn Jones 
  Growing up, I was told that I was a “thinker.”
  I enjoyed looking at different objects, considering them from all angles, discovering how they work, and then envisioning ways to improve their functions. But it was not until I began conducting research at CSUF that I began to appreciate how being a “thinker” could aid in my academic and career pursuits.
  My higher education journey began in the fall of 2015, when I entered Cal State Fullerton as a fresh

  LOS ANGELES — The UCLA gymnastics team is two meets away from a second straight national championship. The Bruins barely mentioned that fact this week heading into the NCAA championships in Fort Worth, Texas.

• Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has a suggestion for struggling Corey Seager: bunt

  17-04-2019 21:12
  
  LOS ANGELES – The difference is subtle in the eyes of Manager Dave Roberts, but Corey Seager’s swing is not the same. You can compare video of Seager in 2019 to early 2018, before the Dodgers’ shortstop had season-ending surgery on his elbow, followed by another procedure on his hip. But even that isn’t enough. Seager’s swing hasn’t been normal for a while.
  “With Corey, the hip, the elbow, there was essentially a body transformation,” Roberts said.

  This spring’s flowers – there are just so many of them — cannot be compared to those of any spring in recent memory.
  Perennial plants native to dry climates – and most of those in our gardens come from Mediterranean lands and the arid parts of South Africa and Australia, too — are especially prone to flowering more after heavy rains. With their roots luxuriating in moist earth, dry climate plants “know” the soil will stay wet long enough for them to cont
