• Artist of the Year 2024 for film and TV: Benjamin Weil

  28-04-2024 15:58 via ocregister.com
  
  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.”
  The film is about living with ADHD in a co

  Every day, the scene plays out in hospitals across America: Older men and women lie on gurneys in emergency room corridors moaning or suffering silently as harried medical staffers attend to crises.
  Even when physicians determine these patients need to be admitted to the hospital, they often wait for hours — sometimes more than a day — in the ER in pain and discomfort, not getting enough food or water, not moving around, not being helped to the bathroom, and not getting the kind of c

• Paige Nielsen scores late goal to defeat her former team Angel City FC

  13-05-2024 05:55 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — Paige Nielsen called Angel City FC home for two seasons entering this season.
  In April, Nielsen was traded to the Houston Dash.
  Nielsen returned Sunday to BMO Stadium, but on the other side of the field and in the visiting locker room. She received a loud ovation as if she was still in the black of Angel City during the starting lineup introductions and in the final stages of the game, she capped her emotional return with the game-winning goal.

  Last Wednesday, the California Supreme Court heard the case of Legislature v. Weber, a legal action brought by Governor Newsom and Democrats in the legislature to remove from the ballot a duly qualified initiative constitutional amendment known as the Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act (TPA).
  If enacted, TPA will restore key provisions of Prop. 13 and other voter-approved ballot measures that gave taxpayers, not politicians, more control over when and how new tax revenue is ra

• The ballot-access protection racket

  13-05-2024 03:58 via ocregister.com
  
  Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is experiencing the arcane world of ballot access. That’s because he is running for president as an Independent rather than as a Democrat. If he had remained in the Democratic Party and won the party’s nomination, he would have automatically been on the ballot in November. As an Independent candidate, he must now gather many thousands of signatures in order to get on the ballot in all 50 states.

  Barb Odanaka remembers her struggles as a new mom and how skateboarding helped her push past those tough days with a newborn, a way to mentally and physically have an outlet away from the dirty diapers.
  “The reality is, I was having a hard time transitioning to motherhood,” said Odanaka, now 61, who grew up skateboarding in Newport Beach in the ’70s.

  Mother’s Day is today, a holiday initiated by Anna Jarvis that became official in 1914. A century later, the worldwide number of mothers according to Sound Vision is 2 billion, counting 85.4 million in the U.S.
  Originally a holiday to honor birth mothers, today’s recognition includes a host of female relatives plus many other special women who play an important role in a child’s life. These “mom” roles are often filled by a caring teacher, a next-door neighbor, or t

• Walker Buehler struggles in second start as Dodgers lose series in San Diego

  SAN DIEGO – The Dodgers had to know Walker Buehler’s return from a second Tommy John surgery, flexor tendon repair and nearly two years away from major-league competition probably wouldn’t go smoothly.
  In that respect, he has met expectations.
  Buehler gave up back-to-back home runs in the first inning and left with the bases loaded in the fourth inning as the Dodgers lost to the San Diego Padres 4-0 on Sunday afternoon at Petco Park.

  ANAHEIM — The Angels patchwork lineup once again failed to put together much of anything.
  One bad inning from Patrick Sandoval was enough to send the Angels to a 4-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals because the offense continues to struggle to find any type of consistency.
  Although they’ve sprinkled in a few good games — like scoring nine twice in the last week — more often they’ve had performances like Sunday’s.

• Angels reliever Adam Cimber says new perspective has helped him on the mound

  ANAHEIM — Adam Cimber is enjoying a hot start to his season on the mound, and he says it’s because of what’s happening off the mound.
  The Angels reliever has a 2.60 ERA through his 18 games, and four of the five runs he allowed were in one game. He’s also stranded all 12 of the runners he’s inherited.
  It is still something of a small sample size, and it’s not totally out of character for Cimber, who had a 3.49 ERA coming into the season.
  Nonetheless, he says t

One of the men is showing signs of dementia; the other is unaware of future issues.

  It didn’t require an audit for Californians to know the state’s homelessness efforts are poorly coordinated. But a report released last month from the state auditor has at least prompted state lawmakers to finally do their jobs and ask tough questions.
  The report evaluated the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH), which is tasked with coordinating and monitoring the work of multiple state agencies charged with addressing homelessness.

• State expats can’t escape the tax man

  Many California residents, tired of the state’s tax and regulatory environment, have taken some “dark, desert highway” eastbound to friendlier states, to echo the lyrics from the 1977 Eagles song, “Hotel California.”
  The song’s refrain is particularly apt, too: “You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.”
  To California’s Franchise Tax Board, you can leave — but it might still consider you a resident for tax purposes.

• Senior Moments: Remembering the wisdom and compassion of mothers

  As my mother told the story, she was a nervous new mother trying to feed her baby his first tastes of solid food.
  Mom had left a job she loved and did quite well to be a stay-at-home mother. I don’t think that term was even used in the 1940s when “mom” and “stay at home” were pretty much synonymous.
  Her boss valued her work so much that he had offered to pay for a nanny, so she could return to work after the baby was born. But mom couldn’t find anyone to live

  That kid is committing crimes, right?
  Now, picture a different kid doing the same stuff. But instead of pocketing his illegal earnings he turns it over to a third party, a presumably older and more powerful person, someone who might do him or his family harm if that money isn’t paid.

  Whenever the interest rate spread between the long 10-year T-Bond and the short 90-day T-Bill has turned negative, it has invariably been followed by a recession. Yet, in spite of the fact that the interest rate spread has been negative for 18 months — the longest in history — there’s been no recession. What happened?
  Many would answer this question by asserting that things are different now and that structural shifts in the economy mean that interest rates don’t matter m
