  22-06-2019 23:39
  
  ST. LOUIS — So far Albert Pujols’ return weekend to St. Louis is working out pretty well… for Cardinals fans.
  Two games into the three-game series, fans have packed Busch Stadium to honor Pujols at every opportunity, and on Saturday they even got the chance to give him a standing ovation after he hit a home run.
  They’ve also gotten to see the Cardinals win twice, as Pujols’ homer was not enough for the Angels in their 4-2 loss.

• Heisler: LeBron James hand-delivers stars as Lakers keep flopping about

  22-06-2019 22:59
  
  Here’s how deftly LeBron James reached in his thumb and pulled out a plum.
  With two years on his contract in New Orleans, Anthony Davis hired LeBron’s agent, moved up his timetable and asked to be traded to the Lakers … even as they sank out of sight, despite Magic Johnson fleeing and the front office becoming a league-wide joke … culminating in last week’s agreement that will bring AD here.
  This looked like tampering with a capital T. The NBA just couldn’t

  By Colleen Long
  WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says he is delaying a nationwide sweep to deport people living in the U.S. illegally.
  He said in a tweet Saturday he would delay for two weeks to give lawmakers time to discuss border solutions.
  Three administration officials told The Associated Press the operation had been canceled because details had leaked in the media and officer safety could be jeopardized. The officials were not authorized to speak publicly on the operation and spok

• Angels considering Trevor Cahill in the bullpen when he returns

  22-06-2019 21:20
  
  ST. LOUIS — The Angels are considering the idea of bringing Trevor Cahill back to the majors as a reliever, a role in which he flourished with the Chicago Cubs a few years ago.
  “He’s pitched 50-plus times out of the bullpen,” Manager Brad Ausmus said Saturday morning. “It gives us options. Our goal is to make our pitching better, so we’ll consider that as an option.”
  Cahill, who is on the injured list because of elbow inflammation, has posted a 7.18 ERA

• Trump should resist neocon pressure on Iran: Ron Hart

  22-06-2019 20:37
  
  Worries about Iran’s attacks on Saudi ships in the Strait of Hormuz caused many to fear war in the region. The warmongering neocon faction of the GOP, thankfully no longer in the White House, and Obama’s passive/aggressive team, might have had us at war by now.  And based on U.S. “intelligence” reports, “W” Bush would already have invaded the wrong country.
  Trump has employed a more diplomatic response, and he doesn’t bother asking the anti-American

  On a positive note: The L.A. Sparks, losers of three consecutive games, get right back to it at 3 p.m. Sunday in Phoenix, where they’ll have a chance to keep their recent misfortune from festering against the 2-5 Mercury.
  The negative: The Sparks get right back to it Sunday in Phoenix.

• Recipe: Clafouti with fresh cherries or halved apricots is a great breakfast or dessert

  22-06-2019 17:07
  
  I dream of early summer French breakfasts, when fruit-laden clafouti is often the star of the meal. The fruit — most often pitted fresh cherries or halved apricots — is baked adrift in a thick, flan-like batter. According to Paris-based cookbook author David Lebovitz, clafouti batter is based on a crêpe batter, so unlike a traditional custard, it contains some flour; the texture is somewhat dense, the thick batter ensures that any juices that escape from the cherries or apricot

  As supply and demand for homes increases and decreases over time, shifting us from a strong seller’s market to a more neutral or to a buyer’s market, other factors shift as well.
  Multiple offers to purchase the same house, many over the asking price, happen when we are in a strong seller’s market.

Nonetheless, in the 1930s when she was 13 and the Nazi Party growing in power, Germany decided it wanted its Jewish families purged or worse. Her father, Otto Frank, wisely relocated the family to Amsterdam.
  When Germany invaded Holland and continued its persecution and mass murder of those of Jewish heritage, the family went
