There are no leads on who brought the drugs into the building.U.S. Secret Service agents found the white powder during a routine White House sweep on July 2, in a heavily trafficked West Wing lobby where staff go in and out, and tour groups gather to drop their phones and other belongings.“Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered,” Secret Service officials said in the summary.It’s most likely the bag was left behind by one of the hundreds...

Through the miserable years of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Bob Wachter, the University of California-San Francisco medical department chair, became a beacon of guidance to hundreds of thousands who followed his social media tips on avoiding the virus that killed more than 1.1 million Americans.Though he works in a hospital that treated COVID patients, Wachter managed to avoid the respiratory disease through a regimen shared with his 274,000 Twitter followers of crowd avoidance, medical-grade mask-wearing, vaccination, boosting and a little luck as well.But this week, he told them on Twitter, “my luck ran out.”“My case is a cautionary tale, particularly for the ‘just a cold’ folks,” Wachter tweeted in a long thread about his ordeal Wednesday evening. “Mine definitely was not… I literally have scars to show for it.”Few today pay much mind to the virus that upended life around the world from 2020 through 2022.

Oakland A’s 2024 schedule: A’s will open what might be final season at Coliseum at home

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:02:36 GMT

OAKLAND – The A’s will open their 56th, and likely final, season at the Coliseum at home on March 28 against the Cleveland Guardians. The potential final A’s regular-season game in Oakland could be Sept. 26 against the Texas Rangers.The A’s have begun the process of applying to MLB for a move to Las Vegas. Their lease at the Coliseum ends after the 2024 season and the team confirmed last month it plans to play at the 55-year-old facility for at least next season.The team’s relocation bid is down to a vote by MLB’s 30 owners, with 23 votes needed to move the team. But even if approval is granted, construction on the new stadium isn’t expected to be completed until 2028, leaving at least a three-year gap for the A’s to find a suitable stadium to play home games, although it appears unlikely the team will remain in Oakland after the Coliseum lease expires.This will be the seventh time in franchise history that the A’s have opened their season against Cleveland, with the mos...

An Alameda County judge sentenced a man accused in a deadly murder-for-hire plot to 12 years in prison, bringing an end to a monthslong saga that saw an earlier plea deal tossed by the same judge and two other murder charges dismissed after a star witness refused to cooperate.In a hearing Thursday morning, Superior Court Judge Mark McCannon issued the sentence for Delonzo Logwood, 33, who could be released from jail in as little as two years, when factoring in time he’s already served.

Logwood also pleaded guilty to a firearm-related sentencing enhancement, and also acknowledged being on probation at the time of his arrest.The sentence came just four months after McCannon rejected another offer from Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price over concerns the county’s new t...

Flying cars. Space tourism. Safe reentry for astronauts coming back from Mars.These technologies are still science fiction, but some won’t be for much longer, according to Charles “Mike” Fremaux, NASA Langley Research Center’s chief engineer for intelligent flight systems.To test these concepts, particularly in regard to public and military safety, NASA Langley is building its first new wind tunnel in over 40 years.
