  19-11-2018 16:59 via ocregister.com
  
  The crowded roads and airports experts predict for the Thanksgiving holiday may make you miss the recession.
  After peaking in 2005, holiday travel took a big hit in the United States during the economic downturn, but it’s been on the rebound since about 2011. This year will hit its biggest numbers in 13 years, AAA spokeswoman Marie Montgomery said.
  The Auto Club expects about 4.2 million people in Southern California to take off between Wednesday, Nov. 21, and the following Sunday, with th

• Recipes: This cookbook is devoted to Chinese food — and food that’s not really Chinese

  29-04-2024 19:34 via ocregister.com
  
  The cookbook’s title grabbed me: “A Very Chinese Cookbook: 100 Recipes from China and Not China (But Still Really Chinese)” (America’s Test Kitchen). With a dose of culinary humor, the moniker acknowledges that many beloved dishes that are labeled Chinese actually originated in America.
  Co-authors Jeffrey Pang and Kevin Pang, father-son hosts of America’s Test Kitchen’s hit YouTube cooking series “Hunger Pangs,” discuss American Chinese food in the

• ‘The big elephant in Haiti’: As country sinks into anarchy, how much is US’s fault?

  By Andres Viglucci, Miami Herald
  When a sitting Haitian president was assassinated in 1915, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson sent in the Marines to protect American interests and secure stability. The military occupation, which lasted 19 years, marked the start of more than a century of close and controversial U.S. entanglement in the volatile internal affairs of Haiti.
  Though the particulars of the always-fraught relationship between Haiti and the United States have since shifted time and again, o

• Key Bridge collapse: A tugboat escort could have prevented tragedy, some believe

  29-04-2024 19:20 via ocregister.com
  
  As the Dali slid out of its berth at the Port of Baltimore in the early hours of March 26, it wasn’t alone.
  A pair of 5,000-horsepower tugboats guided the massive container ship into the deep channel in the Patapsco River, pointing it toward the Chesapeake Bay as it began its voyage to Sri Lanka. Then, off they went, according to maritime tracking data.
  If they’d still been with the ship or close by, the tugs may have averted the ensuing disaster, as the Dali apparently lost power an

  President Biden’s campaign will continue using the popular social media site TikTok even though the president supported a provision in the military aid bill he recently signed forcing TikTok’s parent company ByteDance to sell TikTok within 270 days. If ByteDance does not sell TikTok within the required time, TikTok will be banned in the USA.

  ATLANTA (AP) — As Donald Trump campaigns for a return to the White House, he often reaches back more than 40 years and seven administrations to belittle President Joe Biden by comparing him to 99-year-old Jimmy Carter.
  Most recently, Trump used his first campaign stop after the start of his criminal hush money trial in New York to needle the 46th president by saying the 39th president, a recently widowed hospice patient who left office in 1981, was selfish

  In recent years, California leaders have resisted past and current federal comprehensive data privacy legislation despite the fact that all Americans deserve strong privacy and security protections. This issue is in the spotlight again because a draft of the American Privacy Rights Act (APRA) was released in Congress this month and has garnered strong bipartisan support.

  For most of the early and teen years of this century, Kamala Harris was one of the weakest of vote-getters in Democratic-dominated California, even while she held three electoral offices in succession.
  Her marginal vote-getting performances have been mostly glossed over since she became President Biden’s backup as vice president.
