  Corona Centennial wide receiver Gary Bryant Jr. has signed with USC, he announced at the All-American Game in San Antonio on Saturday.
  The four-star received signed his letter of intent in December, but held off on making the announcement so he could do so on the bigger stage.
  Bryant’s pledge is a much-needed boost for USC’s recruiting class. He picked the Trojans over Oklahoma, Arizona State, Oregon and Washington.
  The 5-foot-10, 164-pound Bryant is the second four-star to join USC&

  The Electoral College does not consist of aliens from another planet who delight in imposing a president upon the United States against the votes of the people.  It is not an anti-democratic mechanism in an otherwise democratic system of government.  So who is involved and how does the Electoral College system work?
  Electoral votes are determined by the vote of the people – in each state.  In 48 states, each party chooses a group of trusted lifelong party members to represen

  04-01-2020 18:25 via ocregister.com
  
  January seems the perfect time of year to take out the slow cooker and gently cook up some soothing bowls of soup. Eleni Vonissakou, author of “The Greek Slow Cooker” (Page Street, $21.99), suggests that Greek lentil soup is both frugal and delicious.
  “A warm bowl of Fakes (Greek lentil soup) with lots of vinegar and a good chunk of feta on the side is one of the best dinners you can wish for on a cold day,” she writes, adding that crusty bread is also a must.

• Market Madness: How the S&P made its 10-year comeback

  The 2010s were a relatively soothing whitewater rapid ride for stock investors, considering all the pain caused in the century’s first decade by the Great Recession. Stockholders were cheered by a U.S. economy that emerged from the steep downturn to create the longest-running expansion of a business cycle on record. Bottom line: The widely watched S&P 500 stock index almost tripled in value in the 2010s after Wall Street’s worst decade since World War II.

  The world according to Jim:
  • The legacy of David Stern, as chronicled in numerous stories this week following his death on New Year’s Day, is fairly straightforward. In three decades as NBA commissioner, he had a huge hand in transforming the league from a struggling enterprise that couldn’t even get its marquee event on live prime time TV to a multi-billion dollar industry with a worldwide footprint.

• Heisler: Farewell to David Stern, the icon who invented the modern NBA

  04-01-2020 01:11 via ocregister.com
  
  To get the clichés out of the way first …
  David Stern didn’t invent the NBA.
  He became commissioner in 1984. The league had been around since the 1940s, albeit with humble origins in places like Fort Wayne and Tri-Cities that led Wilt Chamberlain, to sneer at it as “a bush league” on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
  Nor did Stern create Michael Jordan.
