MICHAEL TACKETT Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - We are becoming a nation of amateur actuaries, calculating the risk of restarting our lives. Can we go outside? Can we go back to work? Can we go to a restaurant or bar? Can we go to the beach? Can our children go back to school? Can we visit grandma? The questions have an infinite run. The answers are less a product of math and hard science than one of highly variable, and often emotional assessment of the benefit relative...

MICHAEL TACKETT and JOSH BOAK Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The New Deal was really a series of new deals, spread out over more than six years during the Great Depression — a menu of nationally scaled projects that were one part make-work and many parts lasting impact. They delivered a broad-shouldered expression of presidential authority whose overall benefits were both economic and psychological. Not all of them worked. Some failed badly. But it was a try-anything moment by Franklin D. Roosevelt at a time of nat...
Despite all the trials and tribulations that it took to get Sadie, 25, and Armand Rack, 26, married, the newly wedded Temecula couple regret nothing.

Joel Calhoun can remember playing basketball at a very young age, ever since he could pick up a ball and walk. His twin sister, Kate Calhoun, started a little later. "I was like too shy or I wasn't really into sports until fourth grade," Kate Calhoun said. "Then I finally ended up playing basketball. As soon as I started, I loved it. I couldn't get enough of it and I played softball for a while, but it really just was too slow for me, basketball was always just my No. 1....

This National School Choice Week, Jan. 26 to Feb. 1, I want to share with you one of the most common short-circuits that parents run into when choosing the right school for their child. That way, if you see it coming, you can run the other way. It starts with a thought like this: “Do I as a parent really know best about my child’s education? After all, I don’t have a graduate degree in education. There’s a lot of school jargon I’m not sure about. Should I let more equipped people make the calls about where and how my child...
