Dozens of businesses across Southern California that churn out popular baked goods, smoked meats and other products soon could be required to swap their gas-powered commercial ovens for emissions-free electric versions under a set of rules due for a vote by the local air quality district this summer.Major tortillerias, food dehydrators, and coffee and nut roasters also would have to upgrade equipment to reduce how much nitrogen oxide, or NOx, they produce under the proposed regulations.It’s the latest touchpoint in a growing culture war over how we cook our food, as mounting research links gas and wood-burning stoves with both health and environmental harms.The limits on commercial ovens are aimed at helping Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties — a region now home to the worst pollution in the country — hit federally mandated air quality targets by cutting in half the 0.2 tons of NOx these company’s 218 ovens now emit each day, according to South Coast Air Qual...Lessons from hummingbirds: Instilling wonder and curiosity in nature

By Ayala Berger | Contributing ColumnistHummingbirds are a reminder to appreciate and discover the wonder of nature.Throughout my time studying hummingbirds they have taught me many lessons. I have learned about the sounds they make, where they live, what they eat, where they nest and about the incredible feats of athleticism they display. Hummingbirds have also taught me to continue to wonder, to become ever more curious, observant, and appreciative of the natural world around me.During my time working toward my doctorate at UCR, I studied the sounds hummingbirds make, specifically the sounds of Anna’s and Costa’s hummingbirds (Calypte anna, C. costae). Anna’s and Costa’s are common residents of much of Southern California. They can be seen fluttering among native flowers, fighting over hummingbird feeders, searching building edges for cobwebs with which they build their nests, hovering in the air while catching and eating gnats and flashing their colorful iridescent throat feather...South Bay dim sum eateries pair traditional with fusion to appeal to changing tastes

LONDON (AP) — Australia stretched its lead to 172 runs against England for the loss of David Warner’s wicket by tea on day three Friday of the second Ashes test.With a first-innings lead of 91, Australia crawled to 81-1 in its second innings.Usman Khawaja was on 45 and Marnus Labuschagne on 8 after overturning a leg before decision against him on 3.Until Warner was leg before wicket to Josh Tongue, Lord’s had grown quiet after lunch as he and Khawaja handled difficult batting conditions superbly.The floodlights could only partly leaven the gloomy skies as the wind picked up with a threat of drizzle.The stickability of Khawaja and Warner in a stand of 63 from 24 overs was in stark contrast to England’s performance in the morning, when only Jonny Bairstow and Stuart Broad scored more than 10 runs of the seven batters on show. England slumped from 278-4 overnight to 325 all out before lunch.But the home bowlers couldn’t make the same breakthroughs that Australia...French president urges parents to keep teens at home, faults social media as rioting spreads

BRUSSELS (AP) — Angered at being outvoted on a European Union migration agreement, Hungary and Poland vetoed Friday a statement by the bloc’s leaders on priorities for limiting the arrival of people into Europe without authorization. The move — at the end of a two-day summit — was mostly a symbolic gesture of protest and though it torpedoed the joint statement, it had no direct impact on the EU’s migration policies. However, it was an embarrassing public display of disunity at a time when attitudes have hardened as the entry of tens of thousands of people each year has fueled far-right sentiment at the ballot box in the 27-nation bloc.European Council President Charles Michel, who chaired the summit, issued his own statement, which unlike the joint communique did not require full endorsement by the member countries.Poland and Hungary “considered that they were not in a position to validate the conclusions” of the summit, Michel said. The two, he noted, insist that “relocation and re...La Corte Suprema bloquea el programa de condonación de préstamos estudiantiles de Biden
