Warriors: 3 (and a half) things to watch in Golden State training camp and preseason

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:34:50 GMT

Warriors training camp begins Monday afternoon with plenty of questions to answer and players to keep an eye on. Golden State won’t have a title to defend this year, but the aging core of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green is looking to pry open the contention window for as long as possible.This year, that means swapping unpredictable youth for experience and IQ. The Jordan Poole-for-Chris Paul trade was a definitive end to a “two-timeline” youth movement that was interfering with the end game. A handful of players will need to buy into roles that are perhaps outside of their comfort zone to get the on-court and off-court symbiosis Golden State lacked last season.That starts at training camp, which leads into five preseason exhibition games — two against the Los Angeles Lakers, two against the Sacramento Kings and one against the San Antonio Spurs.Here are three-and-a-half things to keep an eye on when camp kicks off.1. Who plays best with Chris Pa...

Here’s how to register that restored 1966 Corvette, or any other vehicle, in CA without the original title: Roadshow

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:34:50 GMT

Q: My career military brother, now deceased, brought his non-operative ‘66 Vette to his last assignment in California.
 It had been registered once, when he bought it in 1966, in Connecticut. I transferred ownership of the vehicle with no problem following his passing, as I had the required documentation to do so.After a complete restoration, I now want to register it.
 The CA DMV wants a title to complete the registration. I could not find the title among my brother’s records.The Connecticut DMV did not find a match for the car in their records. What do I need to do?Charles A. BerlsA: The DMV replied that customers who are missing supporting evidence of ownership can register a vehicle without the certificate of title, but to get a new certificate of title for the vehicle, you must submit a Motor Vehicle Ownership Surety Bond (REG 5057) form or a bond alternative.For more details, see: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/handbook/vehicle-industry-registration-procedures-manual-2/bo...

‘Mood is dark’: 80% of Bay Area voters see state of big three downtowns as serious problem, poll finds

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:34:50 GMT

Anthony Estrada hasn’t been to downtown San Francisco since he grabbed a beer after the St. Patrick’s Day parade and “a guy walks up and drops his pants” and, well, we don’t need to tell you what happened next. “It’s really not worth going there anymore.”Elle Dunn used to enjoy Oakland’s great restaurants and entertainment, but now considers its downtown “one of the scariest places on earth.”And San Jose? It’s not necessarily crime or homelessness keeping people away. It’s a different kind of demoralizing.“Honestly, I personally don’t know what downtown San Jose is about, even as a business owner,” said Liana Ryan, who owns a restaurant there. “We’re not a foodie place. We’re not a shopping place. We’re not a whatever. And after COVID, we’re desolate.”San Jose has its share of cultural offerings, such as the San Jose Museum of Art, but in a recent poll, most people said there were few reasons to visit downtown.

SANTA CLARA – Two of the NFL’s most reliable receivers will share the Levi’s Stadium field Sunday. Their unofficial job title: sure-handed tight ends.George Kittle, jersey No. 85, has caught a pass in all 85 regular-season games he has played for the 49ers, marking the NFL’s fifth-longest active streak since 2017, his rookie year.Among those he studied entering the NFL: Zach Ertz, a Monte Vista High-Danville and Stanford product who has a catch in 119 consecutive games entering Sunday’s game with the Arizona Cardinals (1-2) against the host 49ers (3-0).“People sleep on Zach Ertz for some reason,” Kittle said Thursday. “A couple of years ago, he broke a NFL record for most catches in a season by a tight end (116 in 2018). He knows what he’s doing, he’s a heck of a player, and I’m excited to play him and see him.”Kittle was unaware of his consecutive-game reception streak until apprised of it, though it didn’t stun him, nor did he ...

Pakistan officials consider a new way to boost polio vaccination: prison

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:34:50 GMT

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Authorities in one Pakistan province are turning to a controversial new tactic in the decades-long initiative to wipe out polio: prison. Last month, the government in Sindh introduced a bill that would imprison parents for up to one month if they fail to get their children immunized against polio or eight other common diseases.Experts at the World Health Organization and elsewhere worry the unusual strategy could further undermine trust in the polio vaccines, particularly in a country where many believe false conspiracies about them and where dozens of vaccinators have been shot and killed. Adding to the problems faced by experts trying to persuade people of the vaccines’ safety: The oral vaccines themselves now cause most polio cases worldwide.WHO’s polio director in the Eastern Mediterranean warned the new law could backfire. “Coercion is counterproductive,” said Dr. Hamid Jafari. He said health workers have typically succeeded in raising immunization rate...

La sequía combinada con las altas temperaturas produjo niveles de agua bajos sin precedentes. El miércoles, el nivel cayó a 271 metros, según el Cuerpo de Ingenieros del Ejército de EE.
