• More than 14,000 California high school graduates can’t work: This is a tragic waste of talent

  17-06-2024 19:30 via ocregister.com
  
  In 2011, shortly before I graduated from Sonoma State University, I broke down in tears in my sociology professor’s office. She had generously gathered information for me about graduate programs in social work and career paths in teaching and counseling. 
  But I knew there was no point in applying because I was undocumented. I’d come to America from Mexico when I was four, so my parents could work the oyster farms near Pt. Reyes Station, north of San Francisco. Any teaching crede

• USC will opt into revenue-sharing model proposed in House v. NCAA settlement

  LOS ANGELES — In late April, speaking at an event hosted by USC’s NIL collective House of Victory, Lincoln Riley told a roommate full of donors that he made the decision to come from Oklahoma to USC three years ago in part because few schools in the country were better-positioned to capitalize on the changes across the college sports landscape.
  But in the three years since, Riley has often had no choice but to play fundraiser in addition to head coach, as USC’s faced an at-time

  A two-story Mediterranean-style estate, just two doors down from President Richard Nixon’s Western White House, is on the market for $55 million.
  The property sold in September 2021 for $33.9 million, making it San Clemente’s most expensive home ever sold — a record it could now beat.

• Recipe: Is it a blueberry cake or a cobbler? Either way, it’s delicious

  17-06-2024 18:58 via ocregister.com
  
  I call this dish a blueberry cake, but the chefs at America’s Test Kitchen name it “Easy Blueberry Cobbler.” No matter what you dub it, it is delicious and very easy to prepare. For the batter, instead of flour, salt, baking soda, milk, butter, and some kind of sugar, it’s simplified by using fewer components — self-rising flour, sweetened condensed milk, milk, and melted butter. Easy, indeed.
  Serve it warm accompanied by ice cream. If you have leftovers, it’s

  A new poll shows 23% of recent home buyers say they regret spending too much on their purchase, reports Clever Real Estate.

• Typical first-time homebuyer’s income is $45,000 too low

  Laura Chapman | Wealth of Geeks
  A new study by Clever Real Estate found that first-time buyers must earn nearly $120,000 annually to afford a 10% down payment on the median-priced home of $332,494. That poses a problem for the average American household, which earns less than $75,000 a year.
  Although the housing market has cooled since its peak in 2022, Americans continue to face challenges when buying a home.

• Tom Leykis signs off after a long career in Southern California radio

  Tom Leykis has been working since he was 14. I first heard him when he joined the all-new, all-talk KFI (640 AM) in 1988; Leykis was among the first group of hosts when the station dropped music, and was firmly established as the “liberal voice” of the station by the time syndicated conservative talker Rush Limbaugh arrived.
  In many ways, it is humorous that he was considered the liberal voice of the station. Certainly, he was — and is — on the liberal side. But while he

  I could tell you that California paychecks kept pace with inflation – but that would be missing the bigger picture.
  My trusty spreadsheet looked at federal employment data that’s a personal favorite: a quarterly report derived from unemployment insurance records. Year-end 2023 was compared with 2019 – that’s just before coronavirus upended the economy – to find inflation’s winners and losers as far as wages are concerned.
