The three leading candidates vying for retiring Senator Dianne Feinstein's seat appeared in Stockton over the weekend to support Rep. Josh Harder's reelection campaign. Harder said that though Representatives Barbara Lee, Katie Porter and Adam Schiff were at his event at Lindley House, it was also a chance for voters to speak to the candidates. “This isn’t about me," Harder said. "This is a tremendous opportunity for these three candidates, one of whom will almost certainly become the next U.S. senator from California, to hear exactly what they need to hear from the Valley.” A conversation with Speaker Emeritus Anthony Rendon All three candidates had similar answers when it came to what issue voters were talking about.“Mostly concerns about the high cost of housing,” Schiff said.“The top issue in California is the cost of housing,” Porter said.“Who in the world can afford to live in California on 15 dollars an hour?"

Raiders have to decide if O’Connell has done enough to become the No. 2 QB

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:05:26 GMT

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Has Aidan O’Connell done enough to become the Raiders’ second-string quarterback?That’s a major question for management and coaches as they decide how to reduce Las Vegas’ roster to 53 players by Tuesday.If O’Connell, who received a long look in all three preseason games, has played well enough to pass Brian Hoyer on the depth chart into No. 2 behind starter Jimmy Garoppolo could determine how many quarterbacks the Raiders take into the season.The Raiders could decide that Hoyer being the backup makes the most sense for now, to have a 15-year veteran who knows coach Josh McDaniels’ system from their days together in New England. It also could be important to have someone with Hoyer’s experience in case Garoppolo — who has an injury history — gets hurt at some point.O’Connell, who was drafted in the fourth round this year out of Purdue, has flashed potential in training camp and preseason games. If the Raiders vie...

Florida prays Idalia won’t join long list of destructive storms with names starting with ‘I’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:05:26 GMT

Floridians pray that when Idalia hits the Gulf Coast it won’t join the long list of destructive Atlantic Ocean storms whose names started with “I.”Since 1955, 13 Atlantic storm names beginning with “I” have been retired, according to the National Weather Service. That happens when a storm’s death toll or destruction is so severe that using its name again would be insensitive, according to the World Meteorological Organization, which oversees storm naming. Some letter has to be No. 1, and hurricane season often reaches its peak around the time that the pre-determined alphabetical storm-name list gets to the “I.”After “I” storms, 10 names that begin with “F” have been retired, as have nine storms beginning with “C,” University of Miami hurricane expert Brian McNoldy said.In addition to the 13 retired “I” names from Atlantic Ocean hurricanes, a handful of Pacific Ocean storms beginning with “I” have been retired since 1982.The U.S. began using female names for storms in 195...

The family of a woman, who died of an overdose after being supplied with ketamine and propofol by her boyfriend in Montgomery County, Maryland, said she was so much more than a tragic headline.Days after an oral surgeon was convicted of supplying 25-year-old Sarah Harris with the drugs that eventually killed her, Harris’ parents, sisters and grandparents stood with prosecutors in the lobby of the Montgomery County Circuit Courthouse to focus on the life of the young woman they called their “shining star.” They also thanked police and prosecutors for pursuing the case against 50-year-old James Ryan.Ryan was Harris’ employer, then her boyfriend, “and ultimately also, her drug dealer,” said Montgomery County State’s Attorney John McCarthy, who described how Harris came into Ryan’s orbit first as a patient, before dying in the Clarksburg apartment that the two shared in January 2022.Harris’ father, Mark, told reporters that his daugh...

It’s the only fair way to do it,” Kelly said. “They all competed at a high level. We said it was going to be authentic and organic, and this is what it is right now.”Other than Garbers taking the first snap, Kelly said the coaching staff will figure out how to divide the snaps later in the week.Garbers, a redshirt junior, has seen action in 11 games over the past two years. His lone start came in a 2021 loss at Utah.The Newport Beach, California, native started his career at Washington before transferring to UCLA in 2020. Garbers sai...

DENVER (KDVR) — September is upon us. For some, that means the tail end of summer, and for others, it means the start of fall.Both are technically right. For the most part, September is a bit of an in-between month, and the weather is no different. This is because it sees the transition from summer to fall, both meteorologically and astronomically.
