• The unwitting Committee to Re-elect the President

  20-04-2019 23:31
  
  Given his consistently poor approval ratings, and growing concern about the polarization that he has exacerbated, Democrats should have little trouble ousting President Trump next year. But instead, with a series of outlandish and often deeply unpopular proposals, they have morphed effectively into the Committee to Re-Elect the President.
  Democrats could succeed easily if they focused on basic middle class issues, such as health care and reforming the tax system, where popular opinion, including

• Urban v. suburban debate misses need for freer markets

  20-04-2019 23:28
  
  SACRAMENTO – Whatever one thinks of Sen. Scott Wiener’s controversial bill that would make it easier for developers to build high-density apartments and condos around bus and rail stations, this much is clear: It has jump-started a much-needed conversation about housing construction and the way that limited supply is driving up home prices.
  It’s a close call, but I overall like the measure because, hey, it can’t hurt to make it easier to build any type of new housing. Unf

• Whicker: The season of Montrezl Harrell isn’t over yet

  LOS ANGELES — When you’re Montrezl Harrell and you’re from eastern North Carolina and you play like a ticked-off tractor-trailer with wings, you generally don’t escape football.
  Indeed, Harrell was a defensive end for North Edgecombe High. Every year he would line up against Tarboro High, which had Todd Gurley.
  “I played against him,” Harrell said, “but honestly, there wasn’t too much tackling going on. A little burst of speed, and he was out. We k

  A young gray whale entangled in line was spotted off Dana Point, the second sighting in a week’s span off the Orange County coastline, though it’s unclear if it’s the same whale.
  Rescuers were en route Saturday afternoon to try and remove the line, wrapped around its tail and fluke area, said Justin Greenman, assistant stranding coordinator for the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration’s Stranding Network.

• Recipe: Quick Tortellini Soup is the perfect emergency meal

  20-04-2019 20:00
  
  Early in my culinary career I taught cooking classes. Some lessons focused on preparing pasta from scratch. At the time it was a popular topic because fresh pasta wasn’t sold in the marketplace. Now a wide range of fresh pastas are commonplace in supermarkets, including tortellini that are stuffed with three cheese varieties.
  These little stuffed wonders are delicious in a quick-to-make soup, a welcome emergency meal when time is tight.

• A closer read of the “gender wage gap” tells a different story

  20-04-2019 19:12
  
  Women can’t seem to get a break. They not only have to pay more than men for things like life insurance and haircuts, they earn less, too.
  It seems so unfair.  But is it?
  Women pay more for life insurance because of an actuarial fact: they live longer than men.
  Is there perhaps an equally reasonable explanation for the fact that, compared to men, women make only 80 cents on the dollar?
  Why, yes, there is.  The 20-cent “wage gap” compares the earnings of all men who wo

  The shuttle bus to Mariposa Grove in Yosemite National Park wasn’t running. Would the Three Stooges — my sons, ages 10, 8 and 5 — agree to a 2 ½-mile uphill hike to see Yosemite’s signature sequoias?

  America’s interstate highways are aging and inadequate — and need to be replaced. That’s the conclusion of a major study, requested by Congress, and released last December by the well-respected Transportation Research Board. This expert study estimated that if rebuilding projects were carried out conventionally, it would cost Americans $57 billion per year for the next two decades. Even worse news: At that slow pace of reconstruction, by 2040 pavement conditions and traffic con

  We live in an age where almost anything seems available and possible.
  Technology has brought forth many great developments on a daily basis that make living easier and better. And it’s also created instant, universal access to whatever we seek. Because of this, our mindsets are acclimated to believing that there is an answer for almost anything. If you couple this with one or more of these five factors, it places even the most intelligent people at risk for fraud.

• Commercial real estate: Is price important? 5 (surprising) reasons why it’s not

  This could be the shortest column EVER!
  Of course, price is important. End of story.
  But, because I have a bit more space, allow me to offer some arguments as to why price is not important. As we’ve discussed, buyers of commercial real estate either buy to occupy (owner-occupant) or buy to collect the rents as income (investor). In the latter case, no relationship exists between the owner and the occupant — it’s strictly arm’s length. Counter with the former as an owner-o
