  LOS ANGELES – One day in class this winter, with no assignment to occupy his mind, Duce Robinson turned to his computer and began to pen a letter to the NCAA.
  In a long-established bylaw, the organization allows student-athletes just 20 hours per week of “countable athletically related activities.” And Robinson had come to USC with grand dreams, a blue-chip prospect in both football and baseball, hell-bent on chasing both.

  CLEVELAND — As it turns out, Nolan Schanuel began to answer the skeptics only after he stopped trying.
  The Angels rookie first baseman made a splash in the majors last season, even though he’d been drafted less than two months before his big league debut. Critics, however, often pointed out that Schanuel hadn’t shown the power that a first baseman normally has.
  Although Schanuel said publicly that he wasn’t worried about that, he now admits that he changed his approach at

  One part of California’s efforts to reduce its housing crisis is going to take a little longer.
  The landmark 2021 housing law Senate Bill 9 hit a road bump in court.
  Simply put, Senate Bill 9 allows owners of single-family-zoned lots to subdivide their lots and build two homes per lot. As explained by editorial board member Steven Greenhut in 2021, “This is a decidedly market solution. Free markets mean that individual investors decide what to build, not government planning officials

  When is an estate plan not a plan? When is an estate plan worse than no plan at all?
  I wish this was the opening to a fun riddle, but sadly, when estate plans (wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care directives) are unclear or out of date, it’s never funny, and can often be disastrous.
