• Here are 10 Southern California Earth Day/Earth Month events, from planting a tree to riding a bike to taking a hike

  19-04-2019 21:59
  
  I once wrote in this space that Earth Day should be abolished. A holiday to assuage our guilt over polluting the earth? It’s like Grandparents’ Day, invented by Hallmark so we could send a card and maybe place a phone call and stop feeling guilty about not reaching out to nanna and papa. Until next year.
  But not everyone lives this stuff day-in, day-out like I do. Some of you might take this time — it’s now called Earth Month — to do something for the planet either

  LOS ANGELES — Kevin Durant worried that people might think the Clippers were “in my head,” but a technical issued in the second half of the Warriors’ Game 3 blowout had more practical concerns.
  The NBA eased the pressure on the defending champions Friday morning, rescinding the double technical fouls on Durant and Clippers forward JaMychal Green. The two were called less than four minutes into the the third quarter, as they jawed up the court.

  It was supposed to be over by now. The Lakers left us months ago except for their managerial meltdown. The Clippers were supposed to be finished off by Golden State before anyone noticed they were in the postseason.
  Instead, in yet another miracle, the Clippers staged the biggest playoff comeback in NBA history, coming from 31 down to win Game 2 in Oakland to make a series of it, after making a season of it when no one expected that.

• Rams 2019 NFL draft needs: Defense a priority this time around

  19-04-2019 21:04
  
  Since selecting Aaron Donald with the 13th overall pick in 2014, the Rams haven’t selected a single defensive player in the draft’s top 90 picks. In five years, the Rams have spent just one third-round pick (safety John Johnson) and two fourth-round picks (defensive end John Franklin-Myers and outside linebacker Samson Ebukam) on the defensive side of the ball.
  That focus is bound to shift before next week’s draft. After relying on free agency to stock their defense in recent y

  Now that lighting up includes smoking cannabis as well as cigarettes, do you need to be worried when you host a private event in your place of business?

  Q. Dear Honk: The northbound 241 Toll Road as it approaches the 91 Freeway is very dangerous during rush-hour traffic. At these times, traffic is often backed up for two or more miles in the right two lanes that go onto the eastbound 91. To avoid waiting in this backup, many cars try to cut into these right lanes from the free-flowing left lanes that go onto the westbound 91. Countless cars literally stop in these left lanes trying to merge into the right ones at the last second. This is obvious
