• Washington, D.C. shouldn’t run the nation’s economy

  28-04-2024 16:29 via ocregister.com
  
  In the popular mind, nearly every American city owes its prominence to one private industry or another: steel barons built Pittsburgh, modern finance defined New York City, San Francisco and Austin have ridden high on technology. The one big city without a defining private industry, of course, is Washington, D.C., home of America’s federal government. That’s why it’s so odd that many on the right are now championing “industrial policy” efforts that would try to tran

• Police officers know that we’re not a solution to homelessness

  28-04-2024 16:01 via ocregister.com
  
  This week, the United States Supreme Court heard arguments in Grants Pass v. Johnson, setting up a decision that could be among the most consequential for homelessness in the past 40 years. The case considers whether laws punishing unhoused people for sleeping outdoors with basic items, such as a blanket or cardboard box when no shelter options are available, violate protections against excessive bail, fines, and cruel and unusual punishment enshrined in the Eighth Amendment of our Constitution.

• New EPA rules on ‘forever’ chemicals in tap water pose $1.8 billion challenge for OC

  28-04-2024 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  This month, when the Environmental Protection Agency announced the first-ever federal rules on how much of a half-dozen deadly PFAS chemicals to allow in your tap water, 40 public wells in Orange County instantly became unsafe for human consumption, at least on paper.
  The fact that those wells will continue to supply water to hundreds of thousands of local residents – even while they’re under a strict schedule that calls for them to be PFAS-free by 2029 – is part of a broader s

  28-04-2024 15:59 via ocregister.com
  
  You can say the happy marriage of dancing on a stage and a love of theater is in Sofia Aniceto’s blood.
  Her parents met as cast members in a rendition of “West Side Story.” Her mom was a Jet and her dad was a Shark.
  At the age of 3, Aniceto landed a role as a little princess in another Broadway classic, “The King and I.”

  Late last year when Benjamin Weil posted his black-and-white short “Hotel Overstimulation” on YouTube, he left a disclaimer.
  Weil explained how he made the two-minute feature to submit for college admissions. “I recognize it isn’t the most razor tight project but the aim with it is to represent myself and the stories I choose to tell/the ways in which I tell them rather than create the most technically airtight production.”

  Dressed in a black sweatshirt and baggy brown pants, McKenzie Cahill stood stark still as she belted out “To My Angels” from the musical “SuperYou,” her voice a poignant mix of vulnerability and powerful emotions.
  Then, for her next song, she flung the sweatshirt aside to move about freely as the menacing nanny Miss Andrew singing “Brimstone and Treacle” from “Mary Poppins.”

• Artist of the Year 2024 for instrumental music: Jadon Wu

  It might sound like some crazy idea, but Jadon Wu has done his research.
  A classical pianist interested in medicine and music, Wu talks about perhaps becoming a doctor and maybe someday airdropping a piano in a remote area of the world as part of a medical mission team.
  There’s precedent: It happened during World War II, he informed an astonished panel of Artist of the Year judges. He’s dreamed since he was little of traveling to Africa with his father, a doctor, on such missions.

  Last year, she finished as a semifinalist.
  Now the Orange County School of the Arts senior can call herself Artist of the Year, the standout among what one judge deemed “a very polished group.”

  In middle school, Grace Lin was headed down the path of a possible career in robotics. That was a logical expectation given that her parents both had a background in the computer science field.
  The stress was on academics. But more and more as high school drew near, Lin found herself spending time on her art and, as she put it, “fiddling with the pencils.” Her freshman year at Beckman High in Irvine coincided with the COVID pandemic and there she was, “floundering” and &l

  Think of Nova Power Bank as a matchmaker in the power world.
  No, it doesn’t set up wealthy influential singles. Instead, the 2,000-megawatt battery storage facility taking shape in Menifee will link renewable energy produced in off-peak windows with electric utilities in need of peak-hour juice.
  Billed as one of the largest facilities of its kind in the nation, Nova, which broke around in August at the site of what used to be a natural gas power plant, is expected to be finished in 2025.

  Last year I got a phone call from a CPA. He was referring to me a recent widow for assistance with financial planning.
  Her husband had passed away, and she was overwhelmed by the deluge of paperwork she needed to complete following his death. In addition to the emotional stress from losing a loved one, she was charged with managing the family finances, a task with which she had no experience.
  They were both in their 50s. The husband had children from a previous marriage, and they had two childre

  Post Malone, a prominent figure in the rap stratosphere, is reshaping his position in music. During his Saturday night Stagecoach Country Music Festival set, he proved that his star power lies in playing a set of country covers.
  “We’re going to be doing a bunch of songs that I love that we picked out, and I hope that’s alright,” Malone hollered to the crowd with a large smile as he stepped on stage with a red solo cup in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

• José Soriano’s poor start begins awful night for Angels’ pitchers

  ANAHEIM — José Soriano gave plenty of reason for optimism about his potential as a major league starter in his previous outing, but he provided reason for caution in this one.
  Soriano was clearly out of sorts from the moment he took the mound in the Angels’ 16-5 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night.
  He walked three and hit two on his way to allowing four runs, recording just five outs.
  The early deficit left the Angels to turn to a couple of their struggling relievers
