• Whose UC is it? — still a valid question

  08-08-2017 09:02
  
  As a new school year approaches on the nine campuses of the University of California, it’s fair for parents of prospective students to ask once again, as many have for at least the last eight years, whose UC will it be?
  The question first arose during the Great Recession that began about nine years ago, a time when UC began accepting more and more out-of-state and foreign students to help make up for funding cuts inflicted by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and state legislators.

• HOA Homefront: The Business Judgment Rule isn’t a blank check

  16-01-2026 17:00
  
  The Business Judgment Rule protects directors from personal liability if the board errs, and courts have repeatedly given wide deference to HOA decisions made within the BJR.
  However, BJR protections are not unlimited.
  Deference
  Courts normally defer to HOA boards following the BJR, as the State Supreme Court said in 1999 in Lambden v. La Jolla Shores. In the Lambden case, a homeowner contended the board pursued the wrong response to termite problems and sued the HOA.
  The court held that so long

  COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — President Donald Trump suggested Friday that he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the U.S. controlling Greenland, a message that came as a Congressional delegation met Danish and Greenlandic lawmakers in Copenhagen and sought to lower tensions.

• Violent crime arrests among Orange County’s kids have doubled. Should we worry?

  Another proposal for a veterans’ burial option at the Great Park was rejected this week by a divided Irvine City Council.
  Instead of a full-scale veterans cemetery in the Great Park, which for years had been discussed but failed to actualize, Councilmember James Mai was hoping that his colleagues would be interested in a city-run columbarium for burial urns, and the location could even be considered elsewhere within the city based on public feedback.
