• First COVID vaccines won’t be recommended for children

  21-10-2020 23:37
  
  By LAURAN NEERGAARD | AP Medical Writer
  The global hunt for a COVID-19 vaccine for kids is only just beginning — a lagging start that has some U.S. pediatricians worried they may not know if any shots work for young children in time for the next school year.
  Older adults may be most vulnerable to the coronavirus, but ending the pandemic will require vaccinating children, too. Last week, Pfizer Inc. received permission to test its vaccine in U.S. kids as young as 12, one of only a handful o

  Former Clippers head coach Doc Rivers might have introduced Tyronn Lue to coaching and taught him much in Lue’s time on Rivers’ staffs in Boston and L.A., but as much as Lue appreciates all of Rivers’ input and help, the new Clippers head coach made it clear Wednesday he’s taking cues from other coaches too.
  “I learned a lot from Doc, but I’ve also learned a lot from a lot of other coaches around the league,” said Lue, who last week agreed to a reported

• Why do we keep voting to change Prop. 13? A look at the tax revolt’s family tree

  21-10-2020 22:15
  
  By Ben Christopher | CalMatters
  The tax revolt started in California in 1978, but it never really ended.
  Four decades ago mad-as-hell voters banded together to pass Proposition 13, capping property taxes, slapping a constitutional muzzle on state government and wringing local budgets like a washcloth. The electorate’s anti-tax fever may have broken in the years since, but the legacy of Prop. 13 is still very much with us.

  Months after vowing to process a backlog of 160,000 requests for loan forgiveness from students who say they were defrauded by their schools, the U.S. Education Department has rejected 94% of claims it has reviewed, according to a federal judge who is demanding justification for the “blistering pace” of denials.

• When will California schools reopen?

  21-10-2020 19:43
  
  District-by-district and school-by-school, some of California’s 6.1 million K-12 students are re-entering classrooms that have been shuttered for months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  Most, however, remain locked out and trying, as best they can, to keep up with schoolwork via computer.
  It’s no secret that children in relatively affluent homes are faring better. Their parents are more likely to work from home, thus more able to help their kids, and/or are hiring private tutors.

  With debate swirling over California’s tough pandemic-limiting tactics, new federal job stats show the state has the nation’s third-highest unemployment rate.
  Many business leaders think Gov. Gavin Newsom has been too cautious in reopening the state’s economy in the battle to slow the spread of coronavirus. And even the governor has admitted he’s being “stubborn” after a first round of reopenings in late spring were reversed.

  So when defensive coordinator Todd Orlando was hired in the winter, he promised a new practice style for the Trojans. It took several months for him to get the chance to show his players what he meant, but with fall camp finally here, the defense is seeing the change.

  California Republicans have been scrutinized as of late for distributing ballot drop-off boxes across the state, a move state leaders said was against the law. While no legal action was taken, some view this as a strategy by the right to combat potential fraud from the left.
