    Evan Phillips is latest Dodgers pitcher to go to injured list
    MIAMI — The Dodgers had to be relieved when Evan Phillips returned from a ligament tear in his rotator cuff and gave them seven scoreless appearances in the first two weeks after he was activated.
    Then his arm started hurting.
    Phillips went on the injured list on Wednesday with forearm discomfort, joining Blake Treinen and Michael Kopech on the sidelines from the back end of their ideal bullpen.
    “I thought it was just reacclimating to the workload,” Phillips said. “I alwa

    State Bar’s botched exam for new lawyers is California’s latest entry to the hall of shame
    Is there something in California’s water that induces the state’s bureaucrats to make boneheaded errors of judgment? It would seem so, given the sorry history of monumental screwups.
    Many of the state government’s wrongheaded actions involve abortive efforts to use advanced technology.
    The poster child for those high-tech basket cases has been Financial Information System for California, dubbed FI$Cal, which was supposed to be a comprehensive financial management system but has

    ‘Millions out on the street virtually overnight’: How Trump budget could affect California
    President Donald Trump recently released a budget blueprint for the next fiscal year that would take a chainsaw to social, environmental and education programs. Some of the sharpest cuts are directed at housing programs that are meant to serve the poor, housing insecure and unhoused.
    In California, millions are served by these funds and state and local governments depend on them to operate affordable housing, rental assistance, homeless service, planning and legal programs.

    Many Californians can’t get mental health help. Is it too hard to become a therapist?
    In her home in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Eboni Moen, 42, struggled to find help. Some days she would rock back and forth in her shower, crying uncontrollably and thinking back to her son’s murder. She needed a therapist, she said, someone who could help her process what happened and find appropriate medication.
    But in rural Amador County, where she lives, mental health providers are few and far between, and it took Moen about two and a half years to find help.

    The Trump administration is promising to fix the nationwide shortage of air traffic controllers after recent control tower mishaps and a string of crashes earlier this year.
    The need for more controllers who direct planes across increasingly crowded skies, though, isn’t a new issue or one that will be resolved quickly.

Trump frames the issue as a “national security” concern, claiming that Hollywood productions are “betraying” their home countries when they organize filming in Canada, the UK, or even my native country, Hungary.
