• Southern California wildfires cast light on state’s home insurance crisis

  12-09-2024 20:29 via ocregister.com
  
  A trio of wildfires have torched 100,000 acres in Southern California, forcing evacuations from fire threats and smoke, and prompting Gov. Gavin Newsom and county supervisors to declare a state of emergency to marshal firefighting resources to the area.
  The fires highlight another, related crisis: the exodus of major insurance companies from California.
  In June, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors pulled the alarm on that problem, calling for the state to declare an emergency over the

• Time-saving onion choppers every home cook needs

  12-09-2024 19:41 via ocregister.com
  
  WHAT IS THE BEST ONION CHOPPER?
  Onions are a popular vegetable for spicing up meals and garnishing entrees — the average American eats 20 pounds of onions each year. But preparing onions can be messy, and as many people know, cutting them releases sulfuric compounds that cause our eyes to water. So slicing onions can be a tearful kitchen adventure. Onion choppers save the day by not only easily dicing onions but also trapping the eye-irritating odor in the machine.

  California’s public schools have a numbers problem —and it’s not just that their students don’t score very highly in national tests of mathematics ability.
  Their other numbers problem is the financial squeeze posed by declining enrollment, especially in large urban districts, compounded by apparently growing levels of chronic absenteeism, or truancy.

  WASHINGTON (AP) — Young women are more liberal than they have been in decades, according to a Gallup analysis of more than 20 years of polling data.
  Over the past few years, about 4 in 10 young women between the ages of 18 and 29 have described their political views as liberal, compared with two decades ago when about 3 in 10 identified that way.

  Washington State and Oregon State, left behind in the realignment game, are charging forward with their plan to rebuild their 109-year-old conference.
  The Pac-12 made the first step official on Thursday, announcing the additions of Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State and San Diego State for the 2026-27 competition year.

  A shrinking number of Californians live in poverty. But the improvement is much too slow.
  My trusty spreadsheet reviewed the latest “supplemental” poverty measurements from the Census Bureau. These calculations weigh state-by-state incomes – that’s paychecks plus government assistance – against local costs of living. And as every Californian painfully knows, this is a pricey place to live.
