• UCLA men’s basketball needs more must-win mindset versus Oregon

  05-12-2025 23:04 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — A mirror might as well be placed at midcourt when the UCLA and Oregon men’s basketball teams tip off Saturday. Through eight games, these two perennial contenders have fallen short in similar ways.
  The Bruins and Ducks have dropped each of their crucial nonconference games. Both teams played in nail-biters to open their Big Ten schedule earlier this week. Both have dealt with injuries to their top players, preventing them from building chemistry between their returners

• Dodgers head to Winter Meetings hoping to get better – but not older

  07-12-2025 18:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Winning never gets old. But winning teams do.
  The Dodgers won their repeat championship with the oldest roster in MLB last season – an average age of 31.48.
  They will try to three-peat in 2026 with an aging core. Freddie Freeman (36), Max Muncy (35), Teoscar Hernandez (33), Mookie Betts (33) and Blake Snell (33 last week) are all well north of 30. Even Shohei Ohtani will turn 32 next July. The only position player younger than 30 who started more than 45 games for the Dodgers last season w

  07-12-2025 17:03 via ocregister.com
  
  Costa Mesa may have voters decide next year if they want to impose higher taxes for hotel guests and business licenses to raise more revenue.
  A council majority this week asked city staffers to explore placing two tax increase measures on the ballot for the Nov. 3 election — Councilmembers Mike Buley and Jeff Pettis were opposed. The proposal focuses on increasing the city’s business license fee and transient occupancy tax, commonly referred to as a hotel tax, to raise general fund r

• Remember Pearl Harbor, and the camps that followed

  07-12-2025 17:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Although the Greatest Generation mostly is no longer with us, Americans always will remember the sacrifice that began Dec. 7, 1941. That’s when Imperial Japan attacked the U.S. bases at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, without warning. Of eight American battleships moored in the harbor, four were sunk and three damaged; 2,402 U.S. service members were killed, along with 57 civilians.
  A day after the attack, which President Roosevelt called “a date that will live in infamy,” Congress decla

  An effort to qualify an initiative requiring voter identification has garnered more than 750,000 signatures of the approximately 1 million needed, according to the group behind it, Reform California. It’s likely it will reach the ballot given current signature-gathering deadlines.
  Voter ID is a popular idea, so we expect it to qualify.
  The measure requires voters to provide a government-issued ID for in-person voting and the last four digits of their Social Security Number for mail-in voti

  Aging is here to stay as more of us get older and live longer.  
  To test some of your knowledge (without exams or grades) about aging, take the following quiz.

• A modest proposal: What’s good for drug boats, even better for freeway chases!

  The hand-wringers and pearl-clutchers are in full meltdown because on September 2nd, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, ordered the United States Navy to attack an alleged drug smuggling boat off the coast of Venezuela. Two survivors clinging to the gunwales of their sinking skiff were blown to pieces by a second missile, despite Article 118 of the Unified Code of Military Justice specifically prohibiting “firing upon the shipwrecked,” likening it to “murder.”

  On the day that my daughter got her driver’s license at age 16, she asked me if she could take the car out for a spin on her own.
  “Of course,” I said, as we sat parked in front of our house. “I’m really proud of you for getting your license on the first try.”
  It was strange to be in the passenger seat for the first time with my daughter driving. I reached across and patted her hand, which was ready and waiting on the steering wheel. Then I just sat there.

  Most of us don’t set out to make a mess of things.
  Life gets full, days get crowded and we tell ourselves we’ll deal with that one small thing tomorrow. If we’re honest, most messes don’t begin with big decisions — they begin with the tiny avoidances we think won’t matter.
  But they do. They always do.
  And when the mess finally becomes visible, many people interpret it as failure.
