However, please don’t throw special hires or consultants at the problem. Instead, use the people who are already benefiting from the citizens’ tax dollars to get the EWDD’s house in order.According to the city’s website, the EWDD has a staff of about 28 people, plus the department head. If you hire an additional person for grant applications, you need to fire those who are already supposed to be doing that job. Consider a change in leadership, also.Oakland is my hometown, and in my lifetime, crime has never been this bad. I am saddened to see how Oakland has changed.Ultimately the buck stops with Mayor...

Kurtenbach: The SF Giants’ playoff hopes are dead. You only needed to watch one player to understand why

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:54:24 GMT

The Giants’ 2023 season is over.Not literally, of course. The Giants still have 10 games to play. But those games won’t mean much of anything.Not after Wednesday’s 7-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.San Francisco needed to go to Arizona — a rival for a National League wild card spot – and win both games in a 20-hour series against the Diamondbacks.They lost both. And they didn’t put up much of a fight in either.Pair that with the feeble efforts in Colorado last weekend, and the Giants no longer have a realistic shot of making the postseason.What went wrong? There was a point this season where this team was 13 games over .500 and looking plucky amongst the best teams in the National League.In the short term, you can point to the team’s terrible road record, feeble offense, or bullpen breaking down. The lack of reliable starting pitching outside of Logan Webb (who receives no run support) was also problematic.But the big picture was in the Diamondbacks’ o...

SAN JOSE – Willow Glen High School football parents have come to the defense of coach Oscar Caballero in the aftermath of a video that surfaced last weekend appearing to show a coach knocking over a member of the crew holding the sideline yard markers.In an email Wednesday addressed to Willow Glen principal Amy Hanna and copied to numerous other parties, including the Bay Area News Group, a parent of a player on the San Jose school’s team said the crew member was violating rules by videotaping and tripped when confronted by Caballero.“Coach Caballero did not assault the parent volunteer,” Bryan Holmes, writing on behalf of the WGHS Rams parents, said in the email. “He walked over to him after multiple players reported to him that he was video taping them and their play calling process and slapped the phone he was video recording with out of his hand, which caused him to step back and trip over the chain.”The Bay Area News Group has seen the grainy video shot from the other side of t...

Fantasy plays: Players to start and sit for NFL Week 3

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:54:24 GMT

The NFL dialed up the scoring in Week 2 after a lackluster opening week.Teams averaged 22.7 points per game in Week 2 — a noticeable improvement on Week 1.That helped us in fantasy as things began to even out and look a little more like we expected them to look prior to the season.Still, there were plenty of surprises, and while we don’t want to completely ignore our preseason projections, we have to react to what’s happening on the field. There are only 17 games in the NFL season, so we shouldn’t be afraid to fade slow starters in favor of hot names.That’s what we’re attempting to do here. Every week, I’ll be listing out every fantasy-relevant player, sorted by position and bucketed into tiers, with the higher-tiered players deemed more start-worthy. For specific start/sit advice between two players in the same tier, refer to numberFire ’s projection model.These tiers are meant to reflect your typical 12-team, half-PPR scoring formats with only one starting quarterback — though, th...

Carroll hits 25th homer, steals 50th base to lead Kelly and the Diamondbacks past the Giants, 7-1

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:54:24 GMT

PHOENIX (AP) — Corbin Carroll swiped his 50th base of the season, followed with his 25th homer and then made a nice, running defensive play to track down a line drive in left field that wrapped up Arizona’s 7-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday.Just another day in one of the most prolific seasons for a rookie in baseball history.Carroll had four hits, including a solo homer, Merrill Kelly threw 6 2/3 strong innings and the Diamondbacks won their fifth straight game. Arizona is one game in front of the Chicago Cubs for the second of three National League wild-card berths.“I’m proud of it, but at the same time, we’ve talked about this as a team,” Carroll said. “This is the time of the year where we’re not worried about personal accomplishments. That’s out the window at this point. All that matters is getting the win.”The Diamondbacks have been winning a lot lately. Much of the reason is Carroll, who is the first rookie to enter the 25-50 club...

Biden admin grants protection to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:54:24 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration said Wednesday that it was granting temporary legal status to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans who are already in the country as it grapples with growing numbers of people fleeing the South American country and elsewhere to arrive at the U.S. border with Mexico.The move — along with promises to accelerate work permits for many migrants — may appease Democratic leaders who have pressured the White House to do more to aid asylum-seekers, while also providing grist for Republicans who say the president has been too lax on immigration. Refugee who recently moved to Denver killed by carjackers The Homeland Security Department plans to grant Temporary Protected Status to an estimated 472,000 Venezuelans who arrived in the country as of July 31, 2023, making it easier for them to get authorization to work in the U.S., a key demand of Democratic mayors and governors who are struggling to care for an increased number of migrants in their care....
