Pitching with discomfort? SF Giants starter explains why it’s an easy decision

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:21 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco Giants pitcher Alex Cobb has dealt with a right hip impingement for the last three months — and there’s not much question that the injury will be an issue for him until the end of the season.So the right-hander is simply giving the Giants what he’s got, and on Monday, that meant five solid innings in what became a 5-4, 10-inning win for San Francisco over the Cleveland Guardians at Oracle Park.Cobb hadn’t pitched at home since Aug. 29 when he no-hit the Cincinnati Reds through 8 2/3 innings. He had his scheduled start Sunday pushed back a day after he recently received a cortisone shot.Cobb still felt the injury after his second pitch in the first inning and shortly after, needed to be checked on by manager Gabe Kapler and athletic trainer Dave Groeschner. But he remained the game as the Giants went on to their fourth straight win to help keep their playoff hopes intact.“Alex is about as competitive a person as I’ve seen,” Kapler...

Skelton: How a racist housing policy caused a bitter California brawl

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:21 GMT

Nationally, we just observed the 60th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington. In California, there wasn’t a peep about the 60th anniversary of a historic civil rights triumph in this state.That’s understandable. There are probably few people still around who know much about the Rumford Fair Housing Act, which produced arguably the biggest, bitterest brawl ever in California’s Capitol.Looking back, it’s almost inconceivable what the fight was about. It was over whether it should be legally permissible — never mind morally right — for homeowners and landlords to continue discriminating because of skin color in the sale and rental of housing.Spurred by Democratic Gov. Pat Brown, the Democratic-controlled Legislature voted after much anguish to ban racial discrimination in housing. The public backlash was swift. Californians voted by nearly 2 to 1 the next year to legalize discrimination again. But the state and U.S. Supreme Courts ultimately ruled that the...

Fraud-tied San Jose site is bought through a real estate foreclosure

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:21 GMT

SAN JOSE — A San Jose site where a big mixed-use housing complex was proposed but never built in the aftermath of a real estate fraud case has been foreclosed and bought.The parcels that have just been bought through a foreclosure proceeding were just a section of a San Jose property where Silicon Sage Builders and the company’s principal executive Sanjeev Acharya had proposed nearly 800 homes along with restaurants and shops.The just-bought properties are at the corner of Alum Rock Avenue and Jose Figueres Avenue and have addresses ranging from 2101 through 2149 Alum Rock.When proposed, the 796-unit housing development on Alum Rock was expected to bring about a big expansion of economic activity in that part of east San Jose, due to the mix of residences and merchants.Instead, the Alum Rock site became one of the numerous failed projects in the collapsed real estate empire cobbled together by Acharya and the Silicon Sage firm.The Securities and Exchange Commission claim...

Walters: State housing policy takes two steps forward, one step back

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:21 GMT

On one day last week, the Legislature sent two major pro-housing bills to Gov. Gavin Newsom, assumedly for his signature.One, Assembly Bill 1307, is aimed at overcoming a truly bizarre appellate court ruling that a long-pending University of California student housing project in the famous People’s Park site in Berkeley could be stalled if UC didn’t mitigate the noise that students would make.The court said that failing to consider the potential noise impacts from loud student parties in neighborhoods near campus in the was “a longstanding problem that the EIR improperly dismissed as speculative.” Its ruling, in effect, handed anti-housing interests a powerful new way to misuse the California Environmental Quality Act.The second measure, Assembly Bill 1114, would close an anti-housing loophole unique to San Francisco. City law allows an extra bite of the apple to project opponents, giving them the right to challenge building permits even after developments have cleared all other pol...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:21 GMT

SEASIDE – Seventy-nine years and one day ago, 24-year-old Aviation Radioman First Class Wilbur Archie Mitts died during an aerial mission with two others in the Western Pacific – all three lost at sea in the violent crash.

The proceedings included a chapel service, honor guard, U.S. Flag ceremony, and burial honors.Mitts’ niece Diana Ward is the oldest living relative of the veteran and was born three days after he died. She recounted how the close-knit family kept his memory alive by telling stories, going over keepsakes and photos, and singing a hymn that was his favorite – “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” – that was played at...

Why it’s important to spay or neuter your pet

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:21 GMT

I know it’s not polite to stare but ever since I started working in animal welfare, I can’t help but notice when male dogs and cats aren’t neutered. The evidence is just so … prominent. But aside from how these dangly bits might look, it’s always surprising to me that in this day and age, some people still don’t want to spay or neuter their pets.Don’t get me wrong, the thought of having a beloved pet’s offspring to love when that pet is gone is tempting. We often romanticize the notion that their puppies or kittens will be just like their parent whom we adored — but they won’t. Animals are all individuals, just like us.Lack of spay/neuter is the single biggest contributing factor in the cause of unwanted pets. Pets in shelters across the United States face euthanasia simply because of pet overpopulation. That’s why at Marin Humane, cats, dogs and bunnies are all altered, as we call it, before they go to their forever homes. We want to end the cycle of breeding unwanted or neglected ...

Disneyland halts sales of all new Magic Key annual passes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:21 GMT

The on-again and off-again sale of Disneyland annual passes is once again on hold following a $9.5 million settlement in a class action lawsuit over “deceptive” Magic Key blockout dates.Disneyland has paused new sales of the top-priced Inspire Key annual pass — meaning none of the four Magic Key tiers is currently available for purchase.The $1,599 Inspire Key, $1,099 Believe Key, $699 Enchant Key and $449 Imagine Key are now available for renewal only during the month before expiration, according to the Disneyland website.The pause in sales of new Disneyland annual passes coincides with the Anaheim theme park’s settlement of a Magic Key class action lawsuit.Disney has agreed to settle a federal lawsuit filed in California alleging that annual passholders who purchased the $1,399 Dream Key in 2021 were unable to make theme park reservations at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure despite the promise of “no blockout dates.”Disneyland killed its original decades-old annual pass p...

Elias: Newsom-DeSantis debate may mean more in 2028 than 2024

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:21 GMT

Think for a moment about a few political facts such as this one: California Gov. Gavin Newsom is among President Biden’s most vociferous backers, and now may be too late for Biden to back out of next year’s campaign. Here’s another: Newsom’s second and final term as governor ends almost two years before the next presidential election.Related ArticlesLocal News | Elias: Basing Californians’ electricity rates on income unworkable Local News | Elias: Contrary to some claims, California friendly to certain businesses Local News | Elias: Newsom’s gun control amendment may open Pandora’s box So Newsom must have realized early on that if he ever wants to be president, he must establish himself as a major national Democratic figure independent of the office he now holds. That’s the context of his putative upcoming debate with Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who by now also must be aware that he too will not be running...
