  When Green Day made its major label debut in 1994 with “Dookie,” the East Bay band captured ears and airwaves almost overnight with such melodic pop-punk hits as “Longview,” “Basket Case,” and “When I Come Around.”
  A decade later, “American Idiot” saw Green Day growing up. Their 2004 punk rock opera shifted the band’s focus to more serious political and societal concerns in a post-millennium United States, and on songs such as the

  In March 2024, website owner Morgan McBride was posing for photos in her half-renovated kitchen for a Google ad celebrating the ways the search giant had helped her family’s business grow.
  But by the time the ad ran about a month later, traffic from Google had fallen more than 70%, McBride said. Charleston Crafted, which features guides on do-it-yourself home improvement projects, had weathered algorithm changes and updates in the past; this time, i

  An Orange County judge on Monday, April 7, denied the state attorney general’s efforts to overturn Huntington Beach’s voter ID law, saying he disagreed with arguments the city’s effort would confuse and disenfranchise voters in future elections.

  By MOURAD EL-TOUNI, Associated Press
  GENEVA (AP) — With the normally brisk Easter season around the corner, the mood in Switzerland’s chocolate business is bittersweet, thanks to high cacao prices and — now — the newly added U.S. tariffs on imports.
  Many Swiss, from the government to chocolatiers to watchmakers and other businesses, are sensing “shock” over the tougher American position on trade, but many are also taking a wait-and-see stance.

  NEW YORK (AP) — A bogus rumor that President Donald Trump was considering a pause in tariffs briefly lifted markets Monday before the White House shot down the unfounded reports.
  The confusion — which was amplified on social media and by some traditional media outlets — lasted less than a half hour but reflected a jittery mood on Wall Street as stocks plunged over worries that Trump’s tariffs could torpedo the global economy.

• Less heart disease, more breast cancer: 5 takeaways from a new report on moderate drinking

  A new report on the health effects of moderate drinking paints a mixed picture, with both positive and negative health effects — plus plenty of unknowns.
  The studies included in the report, which will help shape the 2025 edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, defined moderate alcohol consumption as no more than one drink per day for women and two per day for men. (A standard drink is 12 ounces of beer containing 5% alcohol, 5 ounces of wine, or 1½ ounces of hard liquor.)

  This much was evident during his Rose Garden speech on Wednesday. 
  In announcing tariffs between 10% and 50% on virtually every country in the world, Trump framed it as reciprocating against countries “ripping off America” and that i

• Recipe: Meatloaf has become cool; here’s how to make a swanky version

  07-04-2025 18:56 via ocregister.com
  
  Growing up, meatloaf was considered a practical weeknight dish, often used to clear out leftover vegetables and bread. Maybe a few carrots, an onion, some celery and mushroom caps would be liberated from the back of the crisper drawer and finely diced and quickly sauteed. Breadcrumbs were made with leftover heels of bread; an egg or two were added to bind the ground beef, sauteed vegetables and breadcrumbs.
  Decades ago, I couldn’t imagine that meatloaf would turn into a party dish or be li

  About 45 years have passed since a U.S. state last eliminated its income tax on wages and salaries. But with recent actions in Mississippi and Kentucky, two states now are on a path to do so, if their economies keep growing.
  The push to zero out the income tax is perhaps the most aggressive example of a tax-cutting trend that swept across states as they rebounded from the COVID-19 pandemic with surging revenues and historic surpluses.

  The more California Democratic politicians get caught acting unethically, the more obvious it becomes that the Democratic-run Legislature has zero interest in oversight and accountability.
