  This time, the shock looms just weeks before a knife-edged election.
  Some 45,000 dockworkers at every major East Coast and Gulf coast port are threatening to strike Oct. 1. With talks at a stalemate since June, industry officials now believe a strike is ine

  This scallop concoction is an oldie but a goodie. It’s sourced from an ‘80s cookbook produced by Gourmet magazine. The bay scallops team up with mushrooms, shallots, and tomatoes, plus garlic and herbs. In the process a delicious sauce develops.
  The dish sings of 80’s cuisine, rich in flavor and texture, armed with butter. While you concoct it, pour yourself a glass of Sauvignon Blanc if you like, and turn on the hit of 1987, “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” by Whitney

  Everyone — everyone in their right heart, and mind — is against slavery.
  Does that mean that Californians should vote for Proposition 6 on the Nov. 5 ballot, whose authors say it is necessary to prohibit slavery and involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime in our state?
  Well, it’s not as simple a notion as it’s being presented, and the answer in the end is no — we believe that Proposition 6 does not deserve to be passed by voters, and not because we are heart

  “He went up there and almost broke his ankle twisting himself into the ground,” Washington said. “You can’t do that. You gotta stay under control.”

  The Federal Reserve looks to be coming to housing’s rescue, so to speak.
  Well, perhaps it’s more like the central bank is just getting a tad out of the way.
  By declaring a near victory in its battle with inflation, the Fed produced its first rate cut in four years on Sept. 18 – with promises for more in the coming months. But there are zero guarantees house hunters will race to again snap up California homes.
