• A vote to modernize the air traffic control system

  06-10-2017 18:56 via ocregister.com
  
  America’s efforts to modernize its air traffic control system are over budget, behind schedule and far less advanced than in other countries. A bill aiming to improve the nation’s air traffic control system by removing it from the Federal Aviation Administration, the national air safety regulator, is expected to get a vote in Congress this month.
  The U.S. air traffic control system is more costly than it should be, and its funding via annual congressional appropriations is unstable a

  The federal officer steps in front of the Honda SUV, parked nearly perpendicular across a one-way residential street in Minneapolis, with snow piled up on the curb.
  Within seconds, he would shoot and kill the driver, Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three.
  Federal officials said the officer acted in self-defense, that the driver of the Honda was engaging in “an act of domestic terrorism” when she pulled forward toward him and that he was lucky to escape alive.

• Alexander: The road to Santa Clara for Rams, Chargers? Uh …

  09-01-2026 17:30 via ocregister.com
  
  A few weeks ago, the prospect was tantalizing: An all L.A. Super Bowl, Rams vs. Chargers, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, home of the San Francisco 49ers.
  I mean, how much angst and consternation would that have caused, in the Bay Area in particular and Northern California in general? A full SoCal takeover might have caused some NoCal heads to explode.
  Recent events seem to have chilled that possibility, pun partially intended.

  Association directors are unpaid volunteers serving their neighbors – so is it fair that they could be sued for their volunteer work?
  The Business Judgment Rule is the first thing any director should know, yet well-intentioned volunteers often unwittingly stray beyond its protection.
  Last week’s column discussed an important new appellate decision, Eng v. Opperman, explaining how the BJR protects HOAs. So, how do HOAs fall under that protection?

  President Donald Trump’s administration has told states that it is restricting some social safety net funds that cover services including child care subsidies and cash assistance and job training for poor families with children.

  He became more interested in the plant’s potential benefits after seeing family members suffer from cancer and opioid abuse. Panks and his wife founded HomeGrown ORegonicX, a small medical cannabis f

  On one level, experts see the arrival of 372 beds at three new or expanding hospitals in Irvine as a welcome addition to Orange County’s effective but strained health care system.
  Simply put, more beds – even when clustered in a slice of the county that, hospital-wise, is already well served – could lessen the load at the 30-plus big hospitals that pepper all of Orange County. That alone, experts say, could mean slightly faster and slightly better health care for everybody, not
