  CLEVELAND — The Angels wasted a strong outing from starter Griffin Canning.
  Although Canning gave up two runs in six innings, he was behind when he left the game. Reliever Matt Moore then gave up an eighth-inning two-run homer to seal the Angels’ 4-1 loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday.
  The Angels lineup was already short-handed with Mike Trout, Anthony Rendon and Miguel Sanó on the injured list, but on Sunday they were also without Logan O’Hoppe because of a bruis

  LOS ANGELES – There’s never a dull moment for the Dodgers’ bullpen, from early-season struggles and injuries, all the way to its recent success. Then a day like Sunday comes along when all of the feelings were encompassed in a single moment.

  05-05-2024 19:12 via ocregister.com
  
  In recent weeks, the violence and flagrant antisemitism unraveling across California’s university campuses, particularly at my alma mater UCLA, have shaken us deeply. These aren’t merely headlines; they are a stark wake-up call demanding immediate, compassionate leadership. Our beloved public universities are under threat, and without decisive action, their integrity and safety are at risk. Today, motivated by a profound duty to the well-being of our communities and distressed by the

• Angels Nolan Schanuel is succeeding since he’s stopped trying to hit homers

  05-05-2024 19:04 via ocregister.com
  
  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

  Any sensible American should adopt an unambiguous moral judgment against slavery. Chattel slavery was a sinful impediment to human progress and a stain upon our nation. Almost two centuries after the institution of race-based slavery was abolished, Americans’ justified urge to right past wrongs of slavery is now weaponized by radical politicians to create race-preferential policies under the banner of “reparations.” 
  Once again, California leads the nation in instituting r

  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

  As “free Palestine” protests spread across campuses – complete with 1960s-style sit-ins and takeovers of classrooms and quads – university officials throughout the country have struggled to handle the disruptive mess. Risk averse administrators have been loath to use a firm hand, even when protesters have intimidated Jewish students and created a hostile campus atmosphere.
  It’s not hard to imagine a quicker response had, say, white students targeted minori

  Hello, dear readers. I am back after taking a brief sabbatical from my column, a first in 22 years. Several weeks ago, my column featured five areas that highlighted the subject of aging as reflected in digital and print media, podcasts, webinars, research reports and more.

• When a financial plan is no plan at all

  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.

  More often than I’d like to see, someone has gone to the trouble of having their estate plan created, but they sign the documents without understanding its terms. Sometimes

  Protestors who set up encampments and siege buildings should be prosecuted to the fullest extent, under both the law and their institutions’ codes of conduct.
  Failing to do so undermines a fundamental commitment of liberal democracy: no person is above the law. Despite ill-informed assertions to the contrary, encampments and sieges are not protected by the First Amendment. They are permissibly regulated under content-neutral time, place, manner restrictions.

  Hola, amigas and amigos. Are you looking for a dish for Cinco de Mayo? This easy carnitas recipe will fit the bill.
  I love carnitas any way they’re served, be it in tacos with coleslaw and pineapple salsa or pickled onions. Or perhaps in burritos with refried beans, cheese and any other favorite ingredients. Carnitas nachos are delicious with guacamole, sour cream, olives, green onions, pico de gallo, cheese, jalapenos and cilantro.
