    Recipes: Make these colorful vegetable dishes for Passover
    For Passover, the holiday of springtime, it is customary to showcase vegetables, especially green ones, on the menu. This year we’re preparing an aromatic broccoli and cauliflower tajine and a variety of salads, including a colorful green salad with papaya and pecans.
    Wheat flour is strictly forbidden during this eight-day holiday, which begins Saturday, April 12. In many households, like those of our families when we were growing up, noodles, rice and other grains are also not allowed. To

    Herbs grown indoors require extra care. Here are some tips
    By JESSICA DAMIANO, Associated Press
    I’ve been growing herbs in the garden long enough to know they don’t require much. Just water, sunlight and my best intentions.
    In the garden, herbs are forgiving plants. They aren’t fussy about soil pH, almost never need fertilizer, and can power through if you occasionally forget to water them.
    But when the weather turns cold and their outdoor beds become inhospitable, I grow some of my culinary friends on a sunny kitchen windowsill, even

    By ALBERT STUMM, Associated Press
    As they age, it’s not uncommon for many people to let out a muted groan when getting out of bed in the morning.
    But if you “oof” every time you get in a car or “aargh” while bending over to pick up something, it may be time to prioritize exercises that target your mobility.

    Larry Wilson: Five years after, Trump tries to erase Jan. 6 history
    Five years on from the worst assault against our republic and its (occasionally tarnished, true) institutions of democracy, the White House administration of the felonious Donald Trump is busying itself literally erasing from the historical record the magnitude of that crime, when thousands of alternately misguided or perverse Americans, egged on by their president, tried to overturn the results of a free and fair election in a violent attack on the United States Capitol.

    Editorial: Trump veers left on housing policy
    The high cost of housing in America comes down to basic supply and demand. In too many areas of the country, restrictive zoning laws, byzantine permitting processes and other forms of red tape have worked to limit the quantity of housing that can get built. The result, naturally, is expensive housing.
    Solving this problem isn’t complicated from a policy perspective. Slashing unjustified restrictions, abolishing counterproductive policies like rent control and streamlining permitting are th

    The most expensive clause in your commercial lease isn’t the rent
    When tenants review a lease proposal, their attention almost always goes to the same place first: the rent.
    That’s understandable. Rent is easy to see, easy to compare and easy to negotiate. It feels like the most important number in the deal.
    But after decades of representing commercial tenants, I can say this with confidence: The most expensive clause in your lease is rarely the rent.
    In fact, I’ve seen tenants negotiate aggressively on rental rate, only to give back far more

    Trailing by 19 at the start of the final quarter, Sonora, led by standout Tyler Holmquist, made a furious run and got within five with 90 seconds remaining, but the Golden Hawks, who have their own standouts, put the game away down the stretch to defeat the Raiders 69-60.
