  LOS ANGELES — The Sparks have found a recipe for success against one of the elite teams in the WNBA.
  That stems from avoiding a franchise-record nine-game losing streak with a rousing 98-93 overtime victory against the Aces on Friday night at Crypto.com Arena.
  “This league is interesting, there’s just matchups of some teams that you match up better than others,” Sparks coach Curt Miller Miller said. “There’s a confidence in our locker room.”

  Frank Kim is wrapping up the last week of his nine years as Orange County’s CEO, having shepherded the administration during a global pandemic, a homelessness crisis and major construction. But with his last day arriving, the OC Board of Supervisors has still not picked a permanent replacement.

• Why these plants might be robust possibilities for a shade garden

  06-07-2024 17:30 via ocregister.com
  
  Each member of the Acanthus family of plants (Acanthaceaae) has a unique style that makes it hard to forget. 
  Acanthus comes from the Greek word for thorn but most of the plants in question are hardly thorny. The family name is taken from Acanthus (one of its genera), some of whose species have spiny leaves. 
  Yet the most commonly encountered Acanthus ornamental is bear’s breech, whose Latin name of Acanthus mollis literally means “soft thorns,” in reference to the fa

• Busy Fourth of July holiday for county animal shelter

  06-07-2024 17:13 via ocregister.com
  
  The county’s animal shelter has taken in 20 dogs the past couple of days and more are expected to arrive as Independence Day celebrations come to a close.
  The loud noises, crowds and more people coming and going over the Fourth of July holiday can cause dogs to be frightened more easily and “look for places to run and hide,” OC Animal Care spokesperson Alexa Pratt said. And that means the holiday is the shelter’s busiest time of year.

  After the U.S. Supreme Court curtailed the powers of federal agencies in two cases last week, progressive critics predictably complained that the decisions favored “big business,” “corporate interests” and “the wealthy and powerful.” That gloss overlooked the reality that people with little wealth or power frequently are forced to contend with overweening bureaucrats who invent their own authority and play by their own rules.

• When your garden produces a bounty of produce, consider dehydrating some

  06-07-2024 15:23 via ocregister.com
  
  For those of us who grow fruit, herbs, and vegetables, summer and early fall can become overwhelming when the garden is in full production. It’s nice to have an abundance of produce, but after a while you can get tired of eating it, no matter how good it is. Fruit trees tend to give their fruit all at once, so you could harvest many pounds of high-quality fruit that won’t stay good for very long. Our first apricot tree gave us over 75 pounds of apricots, all perfectly ripe at the sam

  One of the most traumatic moments in my life was being forced to eat a tangle of bean sprouts. These were not mung beans: They were thicker and twisted ominously out of their crunchy yellow seeds, looking like imploding tribbles from the classic Star Trek episode. They also gave off sulfuric fumes that made all the kids gag. But there was no escape.

• The Federal Reserve’s war on inflation: How it works

  06-07-2024 15:00 via ocregister.com
  
  The battle to lower inflation continues. Halfway through 2024, and the Federal Reserve’s key interest rate is still at 5.25%-5.5%, the highest in two decades. While some experts expect rates cuts by three-quarters of a percentage point by the end of the year, leaders of the U.S. central bank suggest interest rates may remain at the higher levels. By keeping borrowing costs high, the Fed is hoping to cool the economy. (Download full page pdf.)
