Biden wins South Carolina, hopes for Super Tuesday momentum

Image
By Steve Peoples, Meg Kinnard, and Bill Barrow COLUMBIA, S.C. — Joe Biden scored a convincing victory in South Carolina’s Democratic primary on Saturday, riding a wave of African American support and ending progressive rival Bernie Sanders’ winning streak. The victory came at a a crucial moment in Biden’s 2020 bid as he bounced back from underwhelming performances in the first three contests and headed into “Super Tuesday,” when voters in 14 states go to the polls and about a third of the delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination are at stake. Biden hopes the South Carolina victory will be enough to establish him as the clear alternative to Sanders as the race quickly shifts nationwide. Standing in Biden’s way, in addition to Sanders, is former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, one of the world’s richest men, who has spent more than half a billion dollars courting voters in dozens of states yet to vote. The South Carolina primary was the first major test of the candidates...

Walker Buehler has an old-school goal – pitch 200 innings for the Dodgers

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Walker Buehler has a very old-school goal for such a new-age pitcher. “I want to pitch 200 innings,” Buehler said after pitching two perfect innings against the Colorado Rockies in his spring debut Saturday. “That was my goal last year. That will be my goal this year. You have to pitch pretty well to get there. Two hundred innings is my goal, always has been. Maybe if I do it, I’ll change it. But that’s it.” He got close last season. While going 14-4 with a 3.26 ERA in the regular season and allowing one run in two postseason starts, Buehler pitched 195 innings (182 1/3 in the regular season). The Dodgers haven’t asked a starter to throw 185 innings in the regular season, let alone 200, since 2015 when Clayton Kershaw (232 2/3) and Zack Greinke (222 2/3) were old-style workhorses. Since then, depth and a “load management” approach to handling starting pitchers has taken over. Last year, Buehler was the first starter to make 30 starts in a season since Kershaw and...

When Martha Hurtado and Louis Garcia decided a few weeks ago to get married on Saturday, Feb. 29, they were looking for a Saturday when friends and family could join them at the Old Orange County Courthouse in Santa Ana. “I didn’t realize it was a leap year,” Hurtado said. But the couple went ahead on booked the appointment with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder’s Office and joined 147 couples who were married on Saturday and now technically won’t have an anniversary day until 2024.

Japreece Dean, small but mighty, leads UCLA women into final Pac-12 home game

The UCLA women’s basketball team had just wrapped up practice. A few days prior, the Bruins had finished their 2018-19 Pac-12 regular season with an 84-50 blowout of Colorado. UCLA’s four seniors – Kennedy Burke, Chrissy Baird, Lajahna Drummer and Japreece Dean – had all been recognized. Just like she does with every practice, head coach Cori Close gathered her team at center court. They talked about what went well and what needed extra focus. Before she concluded practice, she had one final announcement: Dean was granted an extra year of eligibility. Instant gasps turned into screams of joy. From across the huddle, Dean’s mouth fell open. She was stunned. The then-senior had played just two seasons for UCLA after transferring from Texas Tech midway through her sophomore year. She had worked with UCLA coaches to deliver a petition to the NCAA for an extra year of eligibility, but had yet to hear a final decision. “I was super shocked,” Dean recalls a year later. “It was amazing.” ...

O.C. man who escaped from jail in Utah is captured in Idaho

OGDEN, Utah — A California man convicted of mail fraud who escaped from a Utah jail by posing as a fellow inmate whose time had come to be released was captured in Idaho Friday, authorities said. Kaleb Wiewandt was arrested on Interstate 84 southeast of Mountain Home, Idaho, the U.S. Marshals Service said in a news release. Law enforcement had been tracking the vehicle in which Wiewandt was a passenger and he surrendered without incident when they made the traffic stop. Wiewandt, 40, was allowed to leave a county jail in Ogden, Utah, on Tuesday because staff thought he was a fellow inmate who was supposed to be freed that night, authorities said. “I hope his four-day vacation was worth it because I suspect he won’t see the light of day for quite some time,” said Matthew D. Harris, U.S. marshal in Utah. Authorities say Wiewandt received help from Matthew Belnap, the inmate he posed as to plot his escape. On Monday, Belnap had helped Wiewandt shave his head to look like him and he al...
