Hugo Reynaga.

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:50:44 GMT

Twelve-year-old Garrison Green is unlike any other preteen you'll meet. While having brain surgery is not something every young boy can say they've conquered, it's his attitude and zest for life that really sets him apart.The San Diego County native has been playing baseball since he was young and fell in love with the sport. "Baseball is more than a game," Garrison said. “I pitch, I play first base and I play outfield. I love the game of baseball so much. I’ve been playing for as long as I can remember.”“When Garrison is on the mound, I feel like everyone is pretty confident that this inning will be pretty quick," said Ezekiel Gachalian, or EZ as his teammates call him. He's been playing with Garrison for about six years. Angus Cloud from HBO’s ‘Euphoria’ dies at 25 Garrison says he focuses on two words, which are stitched on his glove: attitude and effort.

RFK Jr. says he’s not anti-vaxx. His record shows the opposite.

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:50:44 GMT

By Michelle R. Smith and Ali Swenson | Associated PressDemocratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rose to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic because of his strident opposition to vaccines. Yet, he insists he’s not anti-vaccine. He has associated with influential people on the far right – including Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon and Michael Flynn – to raise his profile. Yet, he portrays himself as a true Democrat inheriting the mantle of the Kennedy family.As he challenges President Joe Biden, the stories he tells on the campaign trail about himself, his life’s work and what he stands for are often the opposite of what his record actually shows.Though Kennedy’s primary challenge to a sitting president is widely considered a longshot, he’s been sucking up media attention due to his famous name and the possibility that his run could weaken Biden ahead of what is expected to be a close general election in 2024. He’s drawn praise from Republi...

Red tide returns to San Francisco Bay, one year after large fish die-off

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:50:44 GMT

A toxic red tide has returned to San Francisco Bay, raising fears of a reprise of last summer’s unusually large fish die-off.Experts report that harmful blooming algae was detected last weekend in rust-colored water samples from Emeryville, the Berkeley Marina, Albany and Marin County’s Richardson Bay and Muir Beach.While no fish deaths have yet been reported, authorities are advising that people and pets not enter the water and are closely monitoring the algae bloom. Last summer’s incident was alarmingly deadly, killing thousands of fish and other marine creatures, from tiny yellowfin goby to sharks and bat rays, according to reports submitted to San Francisco Baykeeper, an environmental group focused on water conditions in the bay. Foul-smelling corpses littered Bay Area beaches from San Pablo Bay to the South Bay.“It seems as though we’re catching the very early phases of this,” said David Senn, a senior scientist at the San Francisco Estuary Institute. “W...
