It might be for a tax-deferred exchange to line up. It might be for a buyer of land who wants to secure entitlements before taking ownership.
  When that happens, sellers usually ask the same question.
  Why should I wait?
  The answer depends on the market.
  Strong market: Time is a concession
  In a strong market, sellers have options. Buyers

  LONG BEACH — With its backs against the wall and its No. 1 national ranking on the line, the UCLA men’s volleyball team found its rhythm in the nick of time on Friday night against No. 2 Long Beach State.

  Kelli Byrd knew she was in trouble.
  She had violated one of the tenets of the Hemet-based His Way Spirit Led Assemblies: Do not question or ignore an order from Shelley “Kat” Martin, the Head Prophetess or, as Byrd has testified, a self-proclaimed oracle who speaks for God.
  Years ago, Byrd had learned from her then-10-year-old daughter that the son of a congregant had inappropriately touched a girl. Byrd then told her, against Martin’s wishes, to report any repeat offenses.

• Editorial: There’s no excuse for Trump’s racist social media post

  07-02-2026 02:09 via ocregister.com
  
  By now, Americans have gone numb to the ridiculous statements of the president of the United States. While many of the things he says on a daily basis would be disqualifying for most other politicians, supporters of the president want Donald Trump to be graded on a curve.
  But thinking people can see that the permission structures built around excusing the president’s often demeaning, often cruel manner of expressing himself have only made American politics more polarized and toxic than the

• Fryer: Trinity League a great place to coach football, for a while, anyway

  Trinity League football is a rough neighborhood.
  Half of the league’s coaches got wiped out within the past two months.
  First to go was Victor Santa Cruz at JSerra.
  He had experience as a college head coach and is a great people-person. JSerra was 14-18 over his three seasons at the school. The Lions finished 3-7 overall and 0-5 in the Trinity League last season. The team was outscored 402-223, including giving up 257 points in five league games, so Santa Cruz was fired.

  LOS ANGELES — Maxi Kleber was somewhat of an afterthought this time last year; the extra fringe piece included in the now-infamous swap that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers and Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks.
  Kleber’s role on the Lakers has primarily been as the third big man, occasionally playing early in games – jumping into action when frontcourt peers Deandre Ayton or Jaxson Hayes fall into foul trouble. The 34-year-old German isn’t going to be consistently fill
