• Denis Bouanga’s stoppage-time goal leads LAFC past Timbers

  28-04-2024 07:06 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — Maxime Crepeau did everything in his power to deny his former teammates.
  But Denis Bouanga and the Los Angeles Football Club proved to be too much to handle for their beloved friend and former goalkeeper, toppling the Portland Timbers 3-2 with a dramatic stoppage time win at BMO Stadium on Saturday.
  Bouanga’s sixth goal of the season capped another charged affair between the Western Conference rivals two weeks after their first regular season meeting, a 2-2 draw in Port

• What you need to know about aging in place at home

  12-05-2024 17:31 via ocregister.com
  
  Q. Two elderly gentlemen in their 80s live next door to us with no children and with no relatives or friends close by. They have substantial money and feel they will be OK staying at home. One of the men is showing signs of dementia; the other is unaware of future issues. Their home is a small 1920s home with a small bathroom, is not wheelchair accessible and there is no place for a ramp. I am concerned as a good neighbor and physical therapist. Could you write a column about assessing your livi

• Finally asking tough questions on homelessness

  12-05-2024 17:00 via ocregister.com
  
  It didn’t require an audit for Californians to know the state’s homelessness efforts are poorly coordinated. But a report released last month from the state auditor has at least prompted state lawmakers to finally do their jobs and ask tough questions.
  The report evaluated the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH), which is tasked with coordinating and monitoring the work of multiple state agencies charged with addressing homelessness.

• State expats can’t escape the tax man

  12-05-2024 16:50 via ocregister.com
  
  Many California residents, tired of the state’s tax and regulatory environment, have taken some “dark, desert highway” eastbound to friendlier states, to echo the lyrics from the 1977 Eagles song, “Hotel California.”
  The song’s refrain is particularly apt, too: “You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.”
  To California’s Franchise Tax Board, you can leave — but it might still consider you a resident for tax purposes.

• Senior Moments: Remembering the wisdom and compassion of mothers

  12-05-2024 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  As my mother told the story, she was a nervous new mother trying to feed her baby his first tastes of solid food.
  Mom had left a job she loved and did quite well to be a stay-at-home mother. I don’t think that term was even used in the 1940s when “mom” and “stay at home” were pretty much synonymous.
  Her boss valued her work so much that he had offered to pay for a nanny, so she could return to work after the baby was born. But mom couldn’t find anyone to live

• Human trafficking advocates insist exploited children shouldn’t be treated like criminals

  Picture a boy, maybe 15 or so, selling drugs or stealing cars or breaking into a department store and running out with everything he can get his hands on.
  That kid is committing crimes, right?
  Now, picture a different kid doing the same stuff. But instead of pocketing his illegal earnings he turns it over to a third party, a presumably older and more powerful person, someone who might do him or his family harm if that money isn’t paid.
  Turns out, that second kid is living in a version of h

• So, where is the recession?

  12-05-2024 15:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Whenever the interest rate spread between the long 10-year T-Bond and the short 90-day T-Bill has turned negative, it has invariably been followed by a recession. Yet, in spite of the fact that the interest rate spread has been negative for 18 months — the longest in history — there’s been no recession. What happened?
  Many would answer this question by asserting that things are different now and that structural shifts in the economy mean that interest rates don’t matter m

  Remember the thrill of experiencing a financial windfall? Perhaps it was from the sale of a home you renovated, a business you started, or stock gifted from a family member that brought a sense of accomplishment and joy.
  What if you found out, after the sale, that instead of only a small amount or no taxes being owed, your tax bill was close to 50% of the profit? Because you did not consider tax planning before selling the asset, the proceeds you planned to spend on a new car, kitchen remodel, o

  ANAHEIM – Tyler Anderson has pitched well all season for the Angels, but more often than not, he’s been victimized by a lack of run support.
  On Saturday, he finally got enough help from his offense to earn a win.
  Anderson pitched 6 2/3 innings with three runs allowed, Jo Adell hit a three-run homer and the Angels beat the Kansas City Royals, 9-3, at Angel Stadium. Anderson (3-4) earned his first win since April 8, snapping a streak of five straight winless starts.

  SAN DIEGO — They were the other ones, co-stars if not background extras in the blockbuster story that was the Dodgers’ offseason.
  The Dodgers’ signings of Teoscar Hernandez and James Paxton drew much smaller headlines – and impacted the payroll far less – than the acquisitions of Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
  But Hernandez and Paxton have hit their marks and nailed their lines. Hernandez’s grand slam opened up a tight game and Paxton del
