    WASHINGTON — Tommy Edman was a wanted man for years.
    Before acquiring him last July in a three-way trade involving the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago White Sox – even though Edman was not ready to play following wrist surgery – the Dodgers had tried to pry him away from the Cardinals at various times over the previous three years, according to Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes.

    Quiet paddles now required at Lang Park pickleball courts in Laguna Beach
    Pickleball players who choose Lang Park in Laguna Beach as their spot to play have paid more than $100 each to switch to quiet paddles, but they say it’s worth it.
    The paddles, sold by the city at cost, are required at the South Laguna park as of Thursday, April 10, after the City Council approved a law that fines people for using the noisier traditional paddles. The Police Department’s Park Rangers will enforce the new law, city officials said.

    Tariffs and the need for checks and balances
    On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced his decision to pause most of the tariffs he announced on “Liberation Day,” for a period of 90 days.  This came after substantial losses in the stock market and global uncertainty about the economy. This all raises the question: Should any single person be able to do this?
    Last week, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky emerged as one of the few elected Republican members of Congress willing to stand in defiance of Trump’s tariffs.

    Share prices across the world have been pummeled in recent days by economic doubts raised by tough trade talk from the Trump administration. And while short-term stock volatility is not always tied to business fundamentals, longer-run dips have a habit of signaling economic roadblocks ahead.

    That’s often true in news and politics, and also in the world of nonprofits, where leaders sometimes woo donors by playing up mounting social woes while playing down gains made on those same issues.
    But that script flipped a bit Wednesday, April 9, as leaders of Orange County United Way met with about 300 supporters at a community center in Costa Mesa to go over the results of FACE 2024, a long-term initiative the nonprofit launched in late 2013 to tackle four specific issues
