  He is expected to miss three to six weeks, meaning his absence is all but certain to cut into the regular season, which will open Oct. 12 in San Jose for the Ducks.
  Gibson, 31, is the second-longest tenured player on the Ducks’ roster behind defenseman Cam Fowler, having made his debut during the 2013-14 season. The Pittsburgh native has borne the brunt of the Ducks’ rebuild

  By THOMAS BEAUMONT
  President-elect Donald Trump is filling key posts in his second administration, and it’s shaping up much differently than his first. He’s prioritizing loyalists for top jobs.
  Trump was bruised and hampered by internal squabbles during his initial term in office. Now he appears focused on remaking the federal government in his own image. Some of his choices could face difficult confirmation battles even with Republicans in control of the U.S. Senate.

• The end of the Cheney dynasty

  15-11-2024 17:00 via ocregister.com
  
  All elections mark beginnings and endings.
  One thing this election brought was the end of the dynasty that began when Dick Cheney, age 34, became President Gerald Ford’s chief of staff. After Ford lost to Jimmy Carter in 1976, Cheney went back to his native Wyoming and in 1978 was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives as a moderate Republican. In the 1980s as minority whip, he promoted President Ronald Reagan’s program of cuts in taxes and regulations, which produced strong ec

These are at the Newport Coast Drive, Laguna Canyon Road and Greenfield Drive exits. BOTH sets of signs remained. Why replace what appear to be perfectly good signs? How much did they cost?
