• California isn’t anywhere near as bad as Trump makes it out to be

  27-09-2024 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  A bright sun, blue sky and equally blue Pacific Ocean formed the backdrop the other day when ex-President Donald Trump came to his golf course on the Palos Verdes Peninsula near Los Angeles essentially to run down California and blame everything he listed on Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he trailed by slim margins in most polls of that moment.
  It was like listening to the ultimate “declinist” diatribe, to borrow a term for this state’s critics coined by former Gov. Jerry B

• Burned leaves and problematic pear trees: Questions for the Master Gardener

  27-09-2024 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Q. How do I know when it’s time to pick my pears? Last year I picked them when I thought they were ripe, but they were bad (the cores were brown and mushy).
  European pears need to be harvested when they are still hard. Depending on the variety, they will be ready anytime between August and October. Lift the fruit until it’s horizontal to the ground – if it pops off the tree, it’s ready to pick. Let them ripen on the counter, preferably on a towel to prevent bruising. This

  As a new term begins at UC Irvine, unease about the Israel-Hamas war lingers and threatens a new wave of campus protests across the University of California system.
  In light of protests last spring, UC administrators worked over the summer to clarify and consolidate campus policies on free expression. In August, UC President Michael Drake redoubled the university system’s commitment to “nurture free expression,” but he also sent a strong message that unlawful protests will not

• Election 2024: For young LGBTQ+ voters, casting a ballot comes with unique challenges

  27-09-2024 15:25 via ocregister.com
  
  When 19-year-old JQ Shearin casts their ballot for the first time in the November general election, they will do so under an identity that the third-year UCLA student says no longer reflects who they are.
  Shearin identifies as gender non-binary and lives life as “JQ” — a different name from the one assigned to them at birth, which they call their “dead name,” the legal name with which they no longer identify.

  The drastic escalation between Israel and Hezbollah has the Middle East on the brink of a full-scale regional war, one that could even draw in the United States and Iran.
  On Wednesday, in a last-minute bid to avert a much-feared war, President Biden and allied leaders put forward a ceasefire proposal. However, the proposal – which curiously did not even mention “Hezbollah” or “Hamas” – appears to be going nowhere.

  LOS ANGELES — Maybe it was fitting, in a grisly sort of way. All season the Dodgers have shrugged off injuries – including seven projected starting pitchers to the injured list – and they’ve faced a strong September challenge for only the third time in the 12 straight seasons they’ve reached the playoffs.
  And wouldn’t you know it? The night they beat the San Diego Padres to clinch the National League West, another key player goes down. When Freddie Freeman sev
