  16-01-2021 00:21 via ocregister.com
  
  The Long Beach State men’s and women’s basketball teams have both entered an immediate pause of activities related to COVID-19 protocols.
  As a result, the men’s Friday and Saturday home games against Cal State Northridge and the women’s Friday and Saturday games at UC Irvine have been canceled.
  The canceled women’s games had been added to the schedule earlier this week as both teams were looking to fill a bye week. UCI and LBSU are still slated to meet in their orig

• Californians are worried about crime, setting the stage for a ballot measure showdown

  19-04-2024 16:47 via ocregister.com
  
  Democrats completely dominate California’s state government, and one aspect of that hegemony is their ability to act without compunction.
  When doing whatever they want to do, Democratic officeholders don’t have to worry about competition from the state’s shriveled-up Republican Party nor, for the most part, criticism from equally shrunken political media.
  Thus, the Capitol has become an echo chamber rather than a forum for forthright debate about issues.
  The syndrome explains w

  1. You probably think of kale as a leafy vegetable that you grow on an annual basis like lettuce and cabbage. Kale, in fact, is an ancestor of cabbage. Cabbage was considered to be an improvement over kale since it grew in compact heads consisting of many leaves that could be harvested simultaneously, as opposed to leafy cabbage predecessors, such as kale and collard greens, whose leaves were plucked one by one and would have varying qualities, depending on the age of each leaf. Yet there are al

  SACRAMENTO – After the Assembly’s Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee recently voted 11-0 to support a far-reaching, speech-quelling, lawsuit-promoting bill in the name of protecting “the children,” Assembly member Joe Patterson, R-Rocklin, posted this on X: “The most simple bill ever and I was pleased to support it after a lot of heartburn. All the bill says is companies are liable if they don’t ‘exercise ordinary care or skill towards a

• Why taking steps to combat loneliness can be good for your overall health

  19-04-2024 15:50 via ocregister.com
  
  Last year, the United States Surgeon General published a report on the epidemic of loneliness and social isolation.
  Social isolation and loneliness are often forgotten social determinants of health for people of all ages. Meaningful social connection is an essential human need for mental and physical well-being. Recent research has revealed a significant link between social isolation and loneliness and worse physical health outcomes.

• Need speed humps, bumps or cushions on your street to slow down drivers?

  Q. This may be outside your realm of expertise, but I’m hoping you have a suggestion. Cars speed on our residential street with no regard to residents (or pets). We have neighbors with young children and pets. Who do I contact to see about putting in speed bumps? The City Council?

  19-04-2024 15:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Before the drivers stand atop a championship podium, before the engines roar to life — even before some 200,000 fans flock to downtown Long Beach — there are myriad folks who have worked around the clock to bring the “200-mph beach party” to life.
  Their goal is not only to put on the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach but also to create a community. And often, it’s women who are working to foster that community — for other women, as well as those new to the sport.

  In his last protest march, Martin Luther King Jr. led a parade of demonstrators down Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee, lending his support to striking sanitation workers. After a few young Black men started breaking storefront windows, the indiscriminate police response killed one suspected looter and injured dozens of protesters.
  Under a legal theory blessed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, King could have been held liable for the unanticipated harm that ensued from that Marc

  Another Tax Day has come and gone, and most Americans believe they pay too much. One recent poll revealed that 56% say they pay more than their fair share.

  Earth Day is Monday, April 22, and the theme for 2024 is “Planet vs. Plastics.” Plastic has many benefits: It’s cheap, versatile, lightweight and durable. It also can provide environmental benefits: It plays a critical role in maintaining food quality and safety and reducing food waste. But at the same time, plastics are having a negative impact on our oceans and wildlife health.
