• Editor’s Note: Open different doors

  29-01-2019 21:12 via ocregister.com
  
  “Open different doors. You may find a you there that you never knew was yours.”
  This line from Mary Poppins (who in my mind will forever be Julie Andrews, not Emily Blunt – sorry kids) always makes me think of my incredible, beautiful stepdaughter, Scout Camp. See her there, on the right side of this page? I couldn’t love her more. At 25 she’s a confident, intelligent and kind young woman pursuing an interior design degree at Orange Coast College while she works ful

• Tom Steyer’s intentions are righteous, but his ideas don’t add up

  01-03-2026 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  On Wednesday, I had the opportunity to speak to gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer about his campaign. 
  Steyer is a billionaire environmentalist with a long history of political activity. In 2020, he sought the Democratic presidential nomination. He spent millions during President Trump’s first term on an ad campaign to have Trump impeached. As a citizen he has held fundraisers for Democratic candidates such as President Obama and Hilary Clinton and championed numerous environmental p

• Red and blue states alike want to limit AI in insurance. Trump wants to limit the states

  01-03-2026 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  By Darius Tahir, Lauren Sausser, KFF Health News
  It’s the rare policy question that unites Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida and the Democratic-led Maryland government against President Donald Trump and Gov. Gavin Newsom of California: How should health insurers use AI?
  Regulating artificial intelligence, especially its use by health insurers, is becoming a politically divisive topic, and it’s scrambling traditional partisan lines.
  Boosters, led by Trump, are not only pushing i

• Is it time to cut electric company profits to ease consumer bills?

  01-03-2026 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Should state regulators shrink your electric company’s profits? And would that really lower our appalling, outrageous, abominable electric bills?
  Consumer advocates have been pushing this idea for years, and the California Public Utility Commission went so far as to make wee tiny downward adjustments in December. But Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris, D-Irvine — and most everyone we know who actually uses the outlets in their homes — thinks that probably did not go quite far

  Nearly 330,000 people whose convictions in Los Angeles County went unreported for decades will soon have their rap sheets updated and, potentially, their employers notified for the first time.
  Some could lose their jobs if the conviction would have disqualified them from the position they have, while others may have professional licenses revoked or firearms confiscated, experts say.

• Getting hooked after discovering a treasure chest under my home

  01-03-2026 15:34 via ocregister.com
  
  When J.M. Barrie created the fictional character of Captain Hook in 1904, I’m quite sure he never expected him to show up in the crawlspace under my house 122 years later.Yet, there he was, the captain of the pirate ship, The Jolly Roger, in Barrie’s original play, “Peter Pan or the Boy Who Would not Grow Up.”
  I was feeling quite an affinity for that boy as the rusty old pirate’s trunk was pulled from its shelter. Like Peter Pan, I guess I had not grown up that much

• David Hadley: Trump 2.0 one year in – advice from a supporter

  01-03-2026 15:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Dear Mr. President,
  As I wrote last week, Trump 2.0 has had many big successes. I supported you in 2024, I want you to succeed. You can complete your second term as a transformational American president. But with respect, I recommend the following course corrections to help make that happen.
  America doesn’t have a trade problem, we have a China problem. Since you came down that escalator in 2015, you have demolished the Washington consensus that it was OK for predatory Chinese companies an

  Time is money. For most people, that is just a saying.
  For those of us who are self-employed, how we choose to spend our time directly affects the income we earn.Starting our own business was also supposed to give us more freedom over our schedules, with more time off than just weekends and a two-week vacation a year.
  Yet my clients sometimes complain that their employees have more time off than they do. One appraiser sold his business because of the long hours and went to work for a mortgage co
