    Tyler Anderson gets no help as Angels bullpen falters against Rangers
    ARLINGTON, Texas — Tyler Anderson has been one of the few consistent bright spots for the Angels in 2024, and he shined again Saturday night at Globe Life Field.
    But just as his record indicates, he did not receive a whole lot of help.
    Instead of celebrating his 11th win, the Angels were left with a 6-4 loss after the Texas Rangers rallied to score three runs in the seventh.
    Anderson, the Angels’ lone All-Star, held the Rangers to two runs over five innings but was replaced to start

    Who are the 3 bidders for Laguna Niguel’s “Ziggurat” boosting price by $90 million?
    The interplay among three bidders has driven the government auction for Laguna Niguel’s “Ziggurat” up by 129% to $160.2 million.
    Now there are no names attached to the online bidding activity, until the winner is revealed. But the auction website of the General Services Administration does keep track of individual bids for the pyramid-shaped Chet Holifield Federal Building, which sits on an 89-acre campus.

    LOS ANGELES — The UCLA football team hasn’t forgotten about what happened in Saturday’s 42-13 loss to Indiana.
    But there’s no time to dwell on the past. A road test against No. 16 LSU awaits this Saturday.

    LOS ANGELES – For four years, his 20-somethings spent working his way up via coffee runs and one-on-one film sessions with the late Mike Leach, Lincoln Riley’s football mind grew up within an Air Raid that seldom used the tight end.
    The position became a complete afterthought in Riley’s last few years as a receivers coach at Texas Tech under Leach. And such it went, in his first year as an offensive coordinator at East Carolina in 2010, that no tight end on the roster as much a

    Pfizer Inc.’s experimental drug for cancer weight loss was shown to help patients regain weight in a mid-stage study, offering fresh promise for treating the dangerous muscle-wasting condition.
    In cancer patients, a syndrome called cachexia causes changes in metabolism and appetite. It can lead to the loss of critical skeletal muscle and fat that weakens the body and, in some cases, can make cancer treatments less effective. Studies suggest that as muc

    A syndrome that paralyzed children in Colorado and across the nation seems to have disappeared almost as mysteriously as it arrived, leaving scientists to figure out what happened and survivors to adapt as they grow up.
    Doctors first identified cases of unexplained muscle weakness and limb paralysis in children, which they called acute flaccid myelitis, or AFM, in 2014 — though in retrospect, sporadic cases showed up as early as 2009, said Dr. Kevin Messacar, an infectious disease speciali

    The decision to add the top football schools in the Mountain West did not require Pac-12 commissioner Teresa Gould, Washington State and Oregon State executives or their strategic consultants to reimagine college sports on the West Coast.
    The blueprint was collecting dust in a filing cabinet in the conference office.
    We’re joking, but only about the location.
    The idea itself — to add San Diego State, Boise State, Colorado State and Fresno State — was more than a year old.

    Tips on what to keep and what to discard when clearing out a family home
    I get a bad rap for being the Stuff Police, the one who gets between you and the things you love. While it’s true that I harp on those who have too much (including myself), and urge them to purge, edit, donate, toss, sell, clear out, hand down and throw away, occasionally — as you’ll see today — I say, “Hold on.”

    It’s likely to be just the first in a series of rate cuts that should make borrowing more affordable now that the Fed has deemed high inflation to be all but defeated.
