Utah, the defending champion, was not picked to win the Pac-12 title in the preseason media poll released Thursday.Nor was the school that has won two of the past four conference crowns, Oregon.Or Washington, the hottest team in the conference at the end of 2022.Instead, USC was the pick to win the 2023 title (in the school’s final year in the conference, no less).Although the Trojans’ schedule is rugged — unlike last year, it includes Oregon and Washington — the bright outlook is easily justified with returnees at vital positions, including quarterback Caleb Williams, and a defensive line fortified through the transfer portal.The Trojans received 25 of the 36 first-place votes and topped the media poll with 413 points, decisively ahead of Washington (367), Utah (359) and Oregon (340).The limited separation between second and fourth place reflects what should be a stellar year for the conference on the field.The Utes have won back-to-back Pac-12 titles, retur...Woman shot at Oakland apartment complex, suspect later arrested

If your homegrown herbs are failing to thrive, the problem might their friend group. You think I’m joking. Turns out, herbs are like people. Just as we have friends who bring out the best in us and one who zap our energy, the same is true for herbs.This explains the mixed success I’ve had with the two 24-inch herb planters in my yard. So, per my usual learning style — fail first, then find out what went wrong—I sought help.“Herbs have friends and foes,” said Bri Murray, a horticulturist at Lukas Nursery, in Oviedo, Fla. “Some hog water and root space and push others away. Some want dry soil and have no tolerance for their soggy neighbors. Some will even change the flavor of their neighbors.”Does everyone know this but me?“Knowing which herbs get along and which ones don’t is important when planting your container garden,” Murray said, “because herbs that are friends can enhance each other’s performance, while enemies zap one another.”And once you’ve got the friend group down, ...Guerrero and Kirk HR, Bassitt wins as Blue Jays blank Padres 4-0 to avoid sweep

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Pausing at the microphone, 5-year-old Noah took a breath and softly stated, “I don’t want any guns today or any day in my school.”His mom, Sarah Shoop Neumann, wiped away tears as she held the young boy. It had been more than four months since a shooter indiscriminately opened fire while Noah was at a private elementary school in Nashville, killing three of his schoolmates and three adults. And Neumann wanted action.Joining a group of families from The Covenant School, Neumann and others on Thursday announced that they had created two nonprofits to not only promote school safety and mental health resources, but also form an action fund to push legislative policy changes that would place certain limits on firearms inside the politically ruby red state of Tennessee.“We can create brighter tomorrows for our state so no other community has to endure the suffering,” Neumann told reporters at a news conference. “And our children can go to school without...Yankees 3B Josh Donaldson transferred to 60-day injured list
