Feinstein remembered by dignitaries outside City Hall

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:04:00 GMT

(BCN) -- Shaded in the gilded dome of San Francisco's City Hall, presenters including Mayor London Breed, Vice President Kamala Harris, House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer delivered remembrances of Dianne Feinstein to a crowd of sun-drenched dignitaries Thursday. The trailblazing politician died last week at the age of 90. Their reflections were interrupted, sometimes accented, by random flyovers by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels aerobatic jet corps, who were practicing for San Francisco Fleet Week. Breed was quick to point out that Feinstein brought the Blue Angels to San Francisco in 1981, and now they were back to say goodbye. She recalled Feinstein being a source of advice when she became mayor. Blue Angels schedule, where to watch, what you need to know "Gold in peace, iron in war," said Breed describing Feinstein's support and advice to her throughout the pandemic. "Dianne will not only be remembered for what she showed us as an adult, but...

Matt Gaetz Says He Wants To Negotiate. Democrats Should Take Him Up On It.

About anything. I don’t happen to believe that’s the case, but I can understand why somebody would. But I don’t think it matters. It doesn’t matter, because he’s now the equivalent of a free radical bouncing around the molecular structure of Congress, and nobody quite knows how the drama currently unfolding will end. Including Gaetz, as he conceded even before he launched his successful putsch against Kevin McCarthy, rendering the House speakerless since Tuesday. On Wednesday, taking Gaetz’s grievances about the way the House is run seriously, Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna proposed a series of reforms that would reduce the power of big money in politics, bank stock trading by members of Congress, and democratize the functioning of the House.On Thursday, Gaetz responded: “Ok. Let’s negotiate.” Gaetz...

Billy Eppler quits as Mets general manager, three days after David Stearns was hired above him

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:04:00 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Billy Eppler quit as New York Mets general manager Thursday, three days after David Stearns was hired above him as the team’s first president of baseball operations.Eppler’s decision continues an overhaul that followed a fourth-place NL East finish for a team with playoff expectations and World Series aspirations. Mets owner Steve Cohen fired manager Buck Showalter on Sunday, saying Stearns deserved to bring in his own manager.“I wanted David to have a clean slate and that meant me stepping down,” Eppler said in a statement released by the team.Cohen had long talked about hiring a president of baseball operations above Eppler and had said baseball operations leadership had become too large a job for one person. Eppler attended the Monday news conference at Citi Field to introduce Stearns, who discussed working in tandem with Eppler.“Billy and I have had I think a really nice relationship going back years as competitors. Talking to each other, whether it’s...

Rams know they will have to dig deep to stop both the Eagles and the ‘tush push’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:04:00 GMT

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — The rest of the NFL has swiped plenty of ideas out of Sean McVay’s playbook over the past seven seasons, so the Los Angeles Rams’ head coach didn’t hesitate to take the “tush push” out of Philadelphia’s game plan this year.Trouble is, nobody can do it quite like Jalen Hurts and the unbeaten Eagles.“We tried it,” McVay said with a grimace, recalling the Rams’ attempt at the Eagles’ signature short-yardage gainer during their season opener at Seattle. “It didn’t look very good. That’s why we had to go for it on fourth-and-1. We tried it on second down. It looked nothing like Philly’s. We’ve got some other things maybe we’ll try.”The Eagles’ formidable play is just one thing for the Rams to worry about when Philadelphia visits SoFi Stadium on Sunday, when rebuilding Los Angeles has an opportunity to sneak up behind a Super Bowl contender that looks a bit more vulnerable than its record.The Eagles are 4-0 for...

Bob Melvin confirms he’ll return as manager of the Padres following their flop this season

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:04:00 GMT

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Bob Melvin confirmed Thursday that he will be back as manager of the San Diego Padres, adding that he’s “looking forward to having a much better year than we had this year.”General manager A.J. Preller announced Wednesday that Melvin would be back under the final season of his contract following the most disappointing year in franchise history. But Melvin was in the process of moving his offseason home and wasn’t available for comment then.“Obviously, we had a really tough year and nobody feels good about that,” Melvin told The Associated Press by phone. “We’d certainly like to have a year more like the year before in ‘22 than in ’23 and continue to appreciate the support that I get from our owner, Peter Seidler, as well as our major league staff. We’ll be looking forward to getting back to spring training and getting at it.”The Padres went from reaching the NL Championship Series last fall to missing the playoffs this year at 82-80. Wh...

The 49ers view Brock Purdy as far more than just a system quarterback

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:04:00 GMT

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Since Brock Purdy took over at quarterback for San Francisco late last season, no team in the NFL has scored more points, won more games or passed more efficiently.While plenty of credit should go to coach Kyle Shanahan’s innovative play-calling and a bevy of playmakers led by Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle, the Niners reject the notion that the quarterback is just along for the ride as a creation of the system. “That’s pretty ridiculous,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “You’ve just got to watch the tape. He plays at a high level every time he is been out there. He’s done it in a lot of different situations versus a lot of different defenses, on the road, at home, playoff games, when injured. You can’t do all that stuff, he’s been out there too long. It’s on tape.”The Niners have won all 10 regular-season games since Purdy replaced an injured Jimmy Garoppolo early in a Week 13 victory last season.They are scoring ...

SUMMIT COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — They're called ghost towns. They're not haunted, but they're full of Western history. One such town was recently discovered by Josh Robinson, a member of the Ghost Town Club of Colorado. Hang gliding lets man fly like a bird In the 1800s, towns in Colorado were born and died as quick as a sunflower. Not too far from a ski town on the Western Slope is where Robinson found one.It was a place where people came with a dream."You found something that really hasn’t been documented. Nobody has seen it," Robinson said.Main Street, houses, a saloonSometime around 1879, carpenters, mill workers, assayers and miners called this pine-forested mountainside home. Robinson looks at a satellite photograph of the town.“So this is Main Street coming in through here, perfect row of houses. A second street up here with a saloon and a restaurant," Robinson said.First stop of the tour is the mill. Settlers came here for silver and gold."So that antique picture I have is ta...
