Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 02:38:41 GMT

Saratoga’s city council awarded $5,400 in grants to four community events at its May 3 meeting, but one councilmember questioned the compliance of one group’s application.The funds, which will go toward putting on the Dragon Boat Festival, the Blossom Festival, the Mural Mural on the Wall painting event and a community art contest, come out of an $8,000 budget for community event grants.The city started awarding these grants in 2013 as a way to incentivize volunteer-run events that enrich the community and celebrate Saratoga.Councilmember Chuck Page said the council should not have awarded $500 to a Girl Scout troop to make and pass out paper flowers at the Blossom Festival, as the troop isn’t running the event.’“We’re giving money for a group to participate in an event,” Page said. “I’m actually surprised that other groups haven’t picked up on this and asked for money to have a booth at another person’s event.”The Blossom Festival is an annual event run by the Saratoga ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieved a stunning breakthrough on fusion energy

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 02:38:41 GMT

By Bill Weir | CNN Chief Climate CorrespondentAfter generations of trying to produce the power of a star on Earth, a successful nuclear fusion ignition happened in the middle of a December night and was over in 20-billionths of a second.That’s more than 100 billion times shorter than the Wright Brothers’ first, 12-second flight — but a brief, shining moment that could have even bigger implications for humanity.But while the science teams at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are still buzzing over their Wright-Brothers moment, we only remember that name because their third flight stayed in the sky for 39 minutes.RELATED: How Livermore scientists produced fusion breakthrough by recreating the power of the sunThe nuclear fusion reaction must be repeated, extended and scaled before the comparison sticks. And the race is on to make it work.“But that’s what makes it so exciting, right?” lead scientist Tammy Ma told CNN. “The potential is so great f...

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 02:38:41 GMT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian military commanders said Friday that their troops had recaptured more territory from Russian forces at the scene of the war’s longest and bloodiest battle, for the eastern city of Bakhmut, but it wasn’t clear if this marked the start of Kyiv’s long-expected counteroffensive. Russia’s Defense Ministry, meanwhile, said Kyiv had stepped up attacks north of the region.The 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) of territory retaken by Ukrainian forces south of Bakhmut this week represented a significant gain and will protect an important supply chain, according to commanders of Ukraine’s 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, a special forces unit that led the attack.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he met with the top military commanders Friday, noting that he heard a report from Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi whose forces “stopped the enemy and even pushed him back in some directions.”In a statement on Telegram on Friday, Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar con...

Reports: NBC Universal executive will take over as the new CEO of Twitter

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 02:38:41 GMT

Elon Musk said he has found a new CEO for Twitter, or X Corp. as it’s now called, and multiple media reports identify her as Linda Yaccarino, an executive with NBCUniversal. Musk did not name Yaccarino, but on Friday NBCUniversal said that she would be stepping down from the company as chairwoman for global advertising and partnerships. Yaccarino interviewed Musk on a Miami stage last month in front of hundreds of advertisers. Musk, who bought Twitter last fall and has been running it since, has long insisted he is not the company’s permanent CEO. The Tesla billionaire said in a tweet Thursday that his role will transition to being Twitter’s executive chairman and chief technology officer. In mid-November, just a few weeks after buying the social media platform for $44 billion, he told a Delaware court that he does not want to be the CEO of any company.While testifying, Musk said “I expect to reduce my time at Twitter and find somebody else to run Twitter over time.”More than ...

Spain’s Supreme Court upholds 135-year child pornography sentence of teacher who changed name

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 02:38:41 GMT

MADRID (AP) — Spain’s Supreme Court on Friday upheld the 135-year prison sentence of a British teacher and nanny who created and distributed pornography of children in his care after changing his name and country following previous convictions.Ben David Rose legally changed his identity after his conviction on child pornography charges in Britain, meaning that he didn’t appear as a registered sex offender during background checks in Spain. Rose, previously known as Ben David Lewis, received a two-year suspended sentence in June 2016 for the child pornography offenses in the English city of St. Albans. By August of the same year, with a new name and passport, he was working as a nanny in the Spanish city of Zaragoza. Rose then moved to Madrid and worked as a nanny there for two more young children before taking a job as an English teacher at a private school. When police later searched his phone, they found dozens of photos and videos of him with girls as young as age 6 i...

Marlins’ 20-year-old Eury Pérez to debut Friday as club’s youngest pitcher ever

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 02:38:41 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — At 6-foot-8, Miami Marlins prospect Eury Pérez towers above most pitchers.The right-hander’s combination of size, control and maturity has made him one of the most intriguing prospects in baseball — a prodigy so young he was an infant when the Marlins last won the World Series in 2003, and so good he’s leaping from Double-A to the majors.Pérez will make his major league debut Friday when the Miami hosts Cincinnati. At 20 years, 27 days, he’ll become the youngest pitcher in the club’s history and the only MLB player born after 2002.“When you’re looking at him, he’s throwing all his pitches for strikes. He’s commanding his pitches,” Marlins general manager Kim Ng said, “and so those are the things that you really make sure he can do before he gets here, and he’s shown that.”Injuries to left-hander Trevor Rogers and right-hander Johnny Cueto made room for Pérez, who is rated by MLB pipeline as the No. 10 overall prospect and third-best right-hander. He was called up from D...

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 02:38:41 GMT

ZURICH (AP) — A FIFA fund to compensate for unpaid wages helped 225 players in the latest round of payments, including 61 in Portugal and 50 in Greece, the governing body of soccer said Friday.The $16 million FIFA Fund for Football Players was created in 2020 with the FIFPRO player union. Some clubs were suspected of closing down to avoid paying salaries and then re-started anew as a “phoenix” operation.FIFA allocated $4 million to applications for financial help from the 2021 calendar year.The payments included 22 for players from Greek club Doxa Drama, plus 19 from CD Aves and 18 from Uniao da Madeira in Portugal.Cases in China came from Shanghai Shenxin, Beijing Renhe, Taizhou Yuanda and Guangdong South China Tiger.“Given that it’s deeply frustrating for players not to receive their salaries, we’re pleased that the FIFA (fund) is again providing them with a safety net to ensure that they receive part of what they are owed,” FIFPRO legal director Roy Vermeer said in a statement.FI...
