As a parent, you want to do whatever you can to help your children succeed, and you hope for a good relationship with them when they are finally on their own. The age-old question is, how do you achieve both goals? For over two decades, I ran the paid college internship program for business majors at our firm. Across the board, the interns were bright and genuinely good people, but many were flailing. I witnessed how fragile that transition into adulthood can be and how hard it was for their parents to help them. What I noticed the students were…

LOS ANGELES — They scored early. They scored late. And that was enough for the North Carolina Courage to defeat Angel City FC 2-1 on Saturday. “Giving up these late losses is really tough, and to give them up at home in front of our fans is double tough,” Angel City midfielder Madison Hammond said. “It’s one of those things where you look back at the performance and I feel it was an entertaining game for the fans, but to give up a goal in the first minute and a goal in the last minute, that’s a mentality thing.” A…

LOS ANGELES — After nearly two decades, Clayton Kershaw still knows his way around the San Francisco Giants. Kershaw befuddled the Dodgers’ biggest rival yet again, firing seven scoreless innings in an 11-5 victory Saturday that evened the first series of the season between the longtime foes. Shohei Ohtani showed his appreciation by hitting a pair of home runs. The outing was Kershaw’s 61st career appearance and 59th start against San Francisco. And while it might not have matched the pure dominance of his first career start against the Giants, when he struck out 13 in a 2009 outing, it…
Unlike the World Cup, the CONCACAF Gold Cup often is contested by B and C teams due to vacation, injuries and youth callups. “We have a lot of young players that need more opportunities to play real minutes,” Canada coach Jesse Marsch said ahead of this year’s championship of North and Central America and the Caribbean. “There’s a lot ways I think to use the tournament to broaden our player pool and to strengthen what we’re doing with our team.” Defending champion Mexico opens the 16-nation event Saturday against the Dominican Republic in a first-round group that also includes Costa…
LOS ANGELES — Let the parade of returning starters begin, with the Dodgers set to welcome back right-hander Emmet Sheehan as soon as the upcoming four-game home series against the San Diego Padres. Sheehan has not pitched for the Dodgers since the end of his rookie season in 2023 after undergoing Tommy John surgery. The club will wait on making his return official at least until he throws a between-start bullpen Sunday. “This year and last year, the team being so good, I just wanted to be able to contribute and do my part and not be able to do…
By NICHOLAS RICCARDI The assassination of one Democratic Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband, and the shooting of another lawmaker and his wife at their homes, is just the latest addition to a long and unsettling roll call of political violence in the United States. The list, in the past two months alone: the killing of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C. The firebombing of a Colorado march calling for the release of Israeli hostages, and the firebombing of the official residence of Pennsylvania’s governor — on a Jewish holiday while he and his family were inside. And here’s…
Leading Santa Anita jockey Antonio Fresu and trainer Phil D’Amato teamed up with Motorious to win the $100,000, Grade III Daytona Stakes on the second-to-last afternoon of the track’s winter-spring season Saturday. Motorious, a 7-year-old gelding who ran a close second in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar last November, paid $3.80 in his first start since winning the Joe Hernandez Stakes at Santa Anita in December. Motorious used a late burst of speed to beat Bran by 1¼ lengths and Air Force Red by 2 1/4 in a field cut to six with Stay Hot and Daniel’s…
By OLIVIA DIAZ, LEA SKENE, JOEY CAPPELLETTI and CALVIN WOODWARD WASHINGTON (AP) — There were funnel cakes, stands of festival bling and American flags aplenty. There were mighty machines of war, brought out to dazzle and impress. And there was the spray of tear gas against demonstrators in Los Angeles and Atlanta, and rolling waves of anti-Trump resistance coast to coast.
