• Andrelton Simmons accepts Angels’ plan to come back gradually from ankle injury

  22-08-2020 22:26
  
  Andrelton Simmons is still learning.
  A day after he came back from missing more than three weeks with a sprained ankle, Simmons was out of the lineup for a scheduled day off Saturday.
  In the past, Simmons might have pushed back when his manager or trainers tried to give him time off. He said he’s now learned to pick his battles.
  “I’m ready and available,” he said. “But they are trying to manage my workload to get me back as safe as possible. … I know they hav

  22-08-2020 21:55
  
  Whether or not formal events are held, the late Kobe Bryant will likely be commemorated privately around the region on Monday, Aug. 24, a date that contains both his Lakers jersey numbers, 8 and 24.
  It’s also the day after Bryant’s birthday. He would have been celebrating his 42nd, but a Jan. 26 helicopter crash took the lives of Kobe and his daughter, Gianna, as well as seven other people aboard.

  Temperature checks. Social distancing and masks.
  Welcome to high school football practice in 2020.
  The season was supposed to start this week in Orange County. It didn’t, of course.
  The coronavirus pandemic that has changed just about everything also pushed back the start of the season to January. But athletes are allowed to start conditioning and practicing outdoors.

• Recipe: How to cook a whole chicken in your slow cooker or Instant Pot

  22-08-2020 19:52
  
  Slow cookers and Instant Pots used on the slow-cook mode are an easy way to cook a whole chicken. It’s a no-fail technique for producing a moist bird with very little effort. The tender meat is easily shredded, making it perfect for salads or casseroles, tacos, and enchiladas.
  Notice that no liquid is added to the pot.
  Probably the most common mistake made in slow cooking is adding too much liquid. Excess liquid makes slow-cooked dishes taste bland. Liquids don’t boil away as in conv

  But school officials say they are encouraged that in-person instruction could resume in the not-so-distant future based on the county’s anticipated exit Sunday, Aug. 23, from the state watch list for coronavirus-troubled counties.

• First of two new luxury hotels opens in Anaheim

  You might think opening a luxury hotel during a global pandemic that has devastated the travel and tourism market is incredibly bad timing.
  But when the JW Marriott hotel opened in Anaheim this week, while it was by no means filled with guests, people came from around the region – some just to walk through and marvel at the decor, and about two dozen others to sip craft cocktails, swim in the private pool and sleep on fresh linens in the well-appointed rooms.

• Sparks tout Candace Parker for Defensive Player of the Year

  Candace Parker has a crowded trophy case at home. The Sparks forward has twice been voted the WNBA MVP, not to mention the 2016 WNBA Finals MVP, the 2008 Rookie of the Year, and the 2013 All-Star Game MVP. And she brought home a lot of hardware during her college days at Tennessee.
  In 2020, though, Parker is garnering some hype for a different accolade: Defensive Player of the Year. It’s one of the few distinctions missing from her résumé, but one that would carry extra meani

• The surprising allure of winter radishes you can grow in your yard

  22-08-2020 18:30
  
  By LEE REICH
  Put a “wow” in your radishes by growing winter varieties. Winter radishes grow more slowly than spring radishes, requiring about two months to mature, and they remain crisp and tasty for eating throughout the winter.
  I’m not a great fan of radishes, but a few winter ones do add variety to what you can eat from your garden during the cold season. These radishes are also good pickled.
  The “wow” might come from the size of winter radishes. One seed catalog

• Successful aging: Let’s drop the old term ‘elderly’ and start using ‘elder’ for a new perspective

  22-08-2020 17:18
  
  I recently had a conversation with a friend whose parents were retiring to Arizona. She referred to them as elderly. I asked their age. She replied, “They are 70 years old.” I was surprised that she described them as “elderly.” I am age 76 and just don’t identify with the term and would not want someone to describe me in that way. Is elderly a common and acceptable term to describe older people? What am I missing? N. N.

  What good is a hot summer night if you can’t even catch fireflies? I tried an 8 p.m. walk and it was still 90 degrees and nothing fun to do but stroll into the wall of heat. Little dribbles of sweat crisscrossing my mouth under my mask. I longed to chase fireflies like I did as a child growing up in Virginia.
  So engrossed in this endeavor, I could forget the heat as my jar, poked with holes in the top, filled up with lightning bugs. My brother and I would fight over who had caught the most

  LOS ANGELES  – Dodgers pitcher Jake McGee is thriving thanks to a back-to-basics approach.
  Really, the veteran left-hander is taking the definition of “basic” to an extreme. Entering Friday’s game against the Colorado Rockies, the team that released him in July, McGee had thrown 168 pitches this season. All but six were fastballs.
  It’s a classic case of “go with what works.” Batters had put only 19 of McGee’s fastballs in play through Thursday

  But Parker was not to be outdone.
