• Foothill football uses potent attack to beat Orange in high-scoring battle

  06-09-2024 09:07 via ocregister.com
  
  ORANGE – When it seemed like defenses need not apply between Foothill and Orange on Thursday, it was the Knights that made the key stops and answered with big plays.
  Foothill quarterback Gino Marchetti accounted for seven total touchdowns, three with his arm and another four with his legs, as the Knights outpaced Orange 55-35 at El Modena High.
  “Kids had a good week of practice,” Foothill coach Doug Case said. “It was the short week, and it was probably beneficial for us

• Prop. 47-funded programs are working to break cycles of crime. Prop. 36 will undermine those efforts.

  16-09-2024 00:19 via ocregister.com
  
  Ten years ago, California voters soured on the state’s decades’-long experiment with mass incarceration. After years in which badly thought out, financially devastating and morally corrosive laws such as Three Strikes and You’re Out made California less safe, in 2014 a majority of the electorate opted for a new approach.
  In passing Proposition 47, Californians made a bet on a more effective approach to criminal justice. Instead of sending people to prison for minor crimes, more

  Crews battling the three large-scale wildfires burning in Southern California continued to make steady gains on Sunday, as more favorable weather conditions helped keep the blazes from growing much further.
  The acres burned by the Bridge fire in the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains, the Airport fire in Orange and Riverside counties and the Line fire in the San Bernardino Mountains were little changed for the second day in the row, while containment figures in the three blazes grew steadi

• Trump’s Elon Musk government efficiency commission is actually a good idea

  15-09-2024 23:37 via ocregister.com
  
  During his campaign, former President Donald Trump has proposed his share of bad policy ideas, such as a 20% tariff across the board. But tasking Elon Musk with heading a commission to make the government more efficient is one worth considering. In a speech to the Economic Club of New York, Trump said this commission will conduct “a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government.”
  Efficiency is subjective. Some people believe that empowering the IRS with mo

• Kamala Harris won the debate, but the presidential race is far from over

  15-09-2024 23:10 via ocregister.com
  
  Tuesday night’s debate represented a victory for Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump in what, despite the former president’s rocky performance – and Harris’ inevitable polling boost – remains a toss-up race. 
  Make no mistake, while the Vice President walked away the winner, it is unlikely that this debate – almost certainly the only one, as neither side is likely to accept the other’s proposed rules going forward –

• Will Big Ten football be too ‘nasty’ for UCLA?

  15-09-2024 22:35 via ocregister.com
  
  UCLA quarterback Ethan Garbers was suffocating in a collapsing pocket. Indiana’s defense had pressured Garbers into releasing a pass with one last gasp of hope but as soon as the ball left his hands, he was on the ground. Amare Ferrell was celebrating an interception a moment later.
  Garbers took his share of hits in Saturday’s 42-13 loss to Indiana and the Bruins got a bruising welcome to the Big Ten Conference, which was the Hoosiers’ intention.

  Joyce said Sunday that the MRI results of his right shoulder were clean, showing just inflammation, but then manager Ron Washington said the team is nonetheless shutting him down for the season.
