• Angels’ Amir Garrett has new mindset in hopes of career rebound

  CLEVELAND — After he was released by a third team within a year, Amir Garrett was pitching in Triple-A with the Angels when he got some career-altering advice from an old friend.
  Garrett, a 32-year-old left-hander who broke in the majors as Joey Votto’s teammate with the Cincinnati Reds, said Votto gave him the message he needed to hear last month.
  “You’re too good not to be in the big leagues,” Votto told Garrett.

  04-05-2024 23:47 via ocregister.com
  
  EL SEGUNDO –– Of the myriad quandaries the Kings will confront this summer, the most significant might be their decision regarding underperforming pivot Pierre-Luc Dubois.
  That conundrum joins calls about the coaching staff, team management and on-ice system, but a determination on Dubois carries temporal urgency as well as weighty long-term impact.
  Dubois signed an eight-year, $68 million contract last June amid trade negotiations that sent him to the Kings from the Winnipeg Je

  After a career in Japan, Miki Yamane made the move to the U.S. and Major League Soccer this season, joining the Galaxy.
  It’s a move with many adaptations, on and off the field, but through the early weeks the returns have been good.
  “You can see he’s adjusting to many things,” Galaxy defender Maya Yoshida said of Yamane. “Many things are new for him. For him, it’s hard, but it’s good to be fresh after a long time in J-League with the same club. Everythin

Romeo recently had his teeth cleaned.

• Clippers face questions after another season ends early

  04-05-2024 19:29 via ocregister.com
  
  The idea was to build a contender and titles will come. Bring in stars and high-level talent and meld them into a seasoned lineup and championships would follow.
  But in the years since the 213 Era began, championships haven’t materialized – only injuries and heartache. The Clippers experienced more of the same Friday night when they were pushed out of the NBA playoffs by the Dallas Mavericks, who completed a 4-2 series victory with a 114-101 romp in Game 6 of the first round.

• Judge’s order: Anaheim can’t require permits for transitional housing

  04-05-2024 17:03 via ocregister.com
  
  An Orange County judge has ruled Anaheim can’t require transitional or supportive housing operators to get permission from the city to open after the City Council denied a nonprofit from opening a group home in 2021.
  State law governs group homes, such as when they need to be licensed and how many people per bedroom. Anaheim’s laws required transitional or supportive housing with seven or more people to get a permit from the city to open in all types of neighborhood zones.

  While the vast majority of bulbs are meant for sunny locations, some are excellent candidates for the shade garden. Walking in my neighborhood the other day, I spotted the flowers of two bulb species that are durable and guaranteed to spread in shady locations.
  The first shade lover I spotted was Natal or bush lily (Clivia miniata). Its silky, pastel orange to vivid reddish orange trumpet blooms are breathtaking in late winter and early spring. They form in clusters with as many as ten flowers p

• Southern California real estate bosses slash hiring

  Southern California real estate bosses have dramatically cooled their hiring pace as high interest rates trim construction plans and home sales.
  My trusty spreadsheet found property-linked employment in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties was 755,900 in March 2024. That’s up only 2,200 jobs from February and 36% slower than the seasonal norm. In pre-pandemic 2015-19, an average 3,460 jobs were added in March.

  Last month, Tom Koutroulis, director of Orange County Waste & Recycling, signed off on a grant request that he hopes could fundamentally change how America handles one of the oldest but least understood drivers of global warming: garbage.
  It isn’t a huge ask as these things go; $25 million from a $5 billion fund overseen by the Environmental Protection Agency. The money would pay for what Koutroulis calls the “Smart Landfill System,” essentially a cluster of new technologie

  The California Legislature specializes in lawless, partisan hackery. The list of bills that disregard the state constitution, or the federal one, borders on comical if you haven’t yet lost your sense of humor.
  Remember the law that required a fixed number of women on corporate boards? Unconstitutional. Or the law that limited what doctors could say to their patients? So embarrassingly unconstitutional that the legislature and the governor actually repealed it while the legal challenge was

  All eyes are on America’s college students.
  Over the past two weeks, a new wave of activism has unfolded at college campuses across the country — with students gathering in marches, demonstrations, and tent encampments to protest the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
  The largely peaceful, pro-Palestine demonstrations have been upstaged by sometimes violent counter-protests, police force, and brought America’s college students to the forefront of the international issue.

  The Veuve Clicquot-branded umbrella within the pro-Palestinian encampment at UCLA Wednesday night was a telling touch.
  Its student owner didn’t bring it to camp as protection against the rain; it was dry in Westwood. No, the brolly brandisher just grabbed the thing, its deep yellow nylon canopy the same color as the fancy Champagne’s famous label, as she ran out her dorm-room door, late for the demo, just in case the Blue Meanies broke with the tear gas.

  As student protests become more volatile, with vandalism and skirmishes between protesters and police as well as continuing unlawful action by students and other protestors, it is becoming ever clearer that claims by students and faculty that they are engaging in non-violent direct action and free speech were false from the very beginning. Their strategy has been to create fear rather than dialogue, confrontation rather than mutual understanding.

  Today, I must get my David Letterman on and discuss the Top 10 reasons commercial real estate deals fail to close.
  As I have discussed in this column, ad nauseam, commercial real estate transactions are simply leases or purchases. We differ from our residential brethren, in that a large percentage of our transaction volume is leases.
  Specifically, some agents ply their entire trade negotiating leases either in renewal, direct or sublease fashion. These professionals are known as “tenant re
