Because surreal is the new normal in Boulder, legendary actor Samuel L. Jackson, star of the “Shaft” remake from the summer of 2000, went on the “X” social media platform in the middle of the Buffs’ third straight loss Saturday to tap out this:“Brain Farts all around, the OC can’t call 3 run plays to get off the field! The DC can’t get his guys to stop a baby carriage!! (Shedeur) can barely walk & is going to end up playing wheelchair football behind that OLine!!

California’s coast, its bluffs and wildlife star in Obi Kaufmann’s new book

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:05:47 GMT

The California coastline is a geologically sculpted masterpiece jagging and jutting for 1,100 head-turning miles. It starts with the Tortilla Wall poking into the sea at the U.S.-Mexico border and angles northwest to what some describe as California’s loneliest beach – a wild stretch of yellow grassy dunes, hard sand and chunks of driftwood at Pelican State Beach this side of Oregon.Don’t bother trying to define this heterogeneous seaboard through a single stretch of shore. It has been carved into disparate sections that speak to California’s richness.But the Bay Area is as good as any place to launch an exploration of the landscape and wildlife. The 100-mile strand from Santa Cruz to Point Reyes National Seashore has towering, forested mountains, plunging brittle bluffs and steep, chaparral-covered canyons brimming with wildlife. It has rickety piers, historic lighthouses and a marine sanctuary filled with elephant seals, sea lions and predatory white sharks.Atmospheric moisture cr...

Men’s basketball: Saint Mary’s Gaels picked to unseat Gonzaga atop WCC, but have sights set on big picture

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:05:47 GMT

Being picked over perennial favorite Gonzaga to win the West Coast Conference this season doesn’t elicit much reaction from the Saint Mary’s basketball team.“Sure, it’s cool,” senior forward Alex Ducas said. “But getting picked to win doesn’t guarantee you any wins. We really try to keep the outside noise to the outside.”Coach Randy Bennett, who passed 500 career victories with the Gaels last season, wasn’t surprised the league’s coaches gave his team the nod. Saint Mary’s returns three all-WCC players and Gonzaga lost four starters.What’s more meaningful to him is the experience his players have accumulated after reaching the second round of the NCAA tournament two years in a row for the first time in a decade.“They’ve seen what it looks like to play in the NCAA tournament two years in a row, win a game,” Bennett said. “All that stuff, I can’t explain how valuable that is for a coach. These guys have done what it takes and seen what it looks like when you get there.“They’re pretty ...

Guaranteed Income: Can no-strings-attached payments help solve poverty in the Bay Area?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:05:47 GMT

More than a quarter of Santa Clara County families struggle to afford their basic needs. To lift thousands of them out of poverty, a new study recommends guaranteed monthly payments — with no strings attached.Payments of $500 to $2,000 would help as many as 45,000 low-income South Bay households gain financial stability, according to the report from Joint Venture Silicon Valley, a business and labor consortium.“Even a very small monthly granted basic income payment can make a huge difference in the lives of a certain segment of Silicon Valley’s population,” said Rachel Massaro, vice president and director of research at the think tank.Across the Bay Area, local governments and organizations have in recent years started or announced at least 20 “guaranteed income” pilot programs in hopes of alleviating the region’s staggering wealth disparity. That includes a Santa Clara County effort in 2020 that gave $1,000 monthly payments to 72 young adul...
