State judges back San Jose decision on downtown “brutalist” building

State judges back San Jose decision on downtown “brutalist” building SAN JOSE — A panel of state judges has backed the city of San Jose’s decision to clear the way for a “brutalist” building on a prime site to be bulldozed as part of the creation of a huge downtown tech campus.The state Court of Appeal, in a 3-0 decision, affirmed a 2021 decision by a Santa Clara County Superior Court judge that determined the city acted properly in approving a tech campus on the site of Cityview Plaza, a downtown San Jose office and restaurant complex that was developed over a period from 1968 up until 1985.Preservation Action Council of San Jose, an activist group, filed a lawsuit in 2020 to force city officials to redo an environmental impact report for the campus project, litigation that was part of a quest to preserve the brutalist building. County Judge Sunil Kulkarni ruled in favor of San Jose and against the preservationists, saying the city properly crafted the project’s environmental impact report.San Jose’s approval of t...

Abcarian: What Clarence Thomas calls hospitality looks like corruption

Published Thu, 28 Mar 2024 14:31:13 GMT

Abcarian: What Clarence Thomas calls hospitality looks like corruption I am shocked, shocked to find that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ commitment to originalism — that is, the belief that legal texts should be interpreted as they were understood when they were adopted — comes to a screeching halt the minute he slides off the bench.When Congress passed the Ethics in Government Act in 1978, which requires government officials to report gifts, I’m pretty sure legislators had in mind exactly the sort of relationship Thomas has with the Republican megadonor and Nazi memorabilia collector Harlan Crow.I mean, maybe nothing can stop a venal Supreme Court justice from being lavished with gifts by a conservative billionaire (the rules are lax compared to other public servants), but Congress most certainly requires the grabby justice to disclose the billionaire’s generosity.Thanks to spectacular reporting by the nonprofit investigative outfit ProPublica, we now know that for at least two decades, Crow has served as Clarence and Ginni T...

Stale bread? Put it to good use in all sorts of dishes

Published Thu, 28 Mar 2024 14:31:13 GMT

Stale bread? Put it to good use in all sorts of dishes Spring cleaning is a refreshing and cathartic ritual, and the kitchen is a great place to begin. Clean out the refrigerator, toss any items with long-past use-by dates, and refresh those old spices parked in a drawer. As you fill your trash and recycling bins, keep one exception in mind: Under no circumstances should you throw out any stale bread.Stale breads are the faded belles of glorious loaves past. In their prime, they are tender and golden, piping hot from the oven and swirling with yeasty steam when broken apart. Dressed with a pat of butter or a drizzle of olive oil, they are luxuriously simple. And while the pleasure of eating freshly baked bread is sublime, it’s also fleeting. Once the loaves are exposed to air, they cool and begin to lose their moisture, drying out and hardening as time passes. After a day or two, the fragrant fresh loaf is often considered a has-been, banished to the corners of the bread tin, the back of the refrigerator or discarded.Now, before you dec...

Boehly facing big decisions at Chelsea as season falls flat

Boehly facing big decisions at Chelsea as season falls flat With his head bowed and his hands in his pockets, Todd Boehly had a rueful look as he walked across the field at Stamford Bridge and likely toward a locker room containing one of the most expensively assembled squads in soccer.Chelsea had just been eliminated from the Champions League by Real Madrid, effectively ending a wild first season under the club’s American ownership fronted by Boehly.It’s mid-April, a time of the season when the team is typically in contention for trophies, domestically and in Europe. Not this year.No manager. No silverware. Seemingly no real direction in a new regime that has overseen an unprecedented level of spending — $630 million — over the last two transfer windows.And just look where it’s gotten them.“I think the first step has been made — an incorrect step, but it has been made,” said Chelsea defender Thiago Silva, who described it as a “hard period for the club, with a lot of indecision.”Indeed, the upcoming weeks and months heading into the o...

US trade rep seeks close economic security ties in Asia TOKYO (AP) — The United States hopes to deepen trade ties with Japan as it fortifies cooperation on economic security with its Asian allies and partners, the top U.S. trade envoy said Wednesday. U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai’s visit to Tokyo follows a trip to the Philippine capital, Manila, that she said highlighted a newly emerging partnership among the three countries as they build both economic and defense ties. Tai met with Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi to discuss making supply chains more resilient and secure, the Japanese Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Tai also reviewed the status of negotiations on the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, or IPEF, a new trade pact proposed by Washington, emphasizing the importance of cooperation with Japan, it said. The framework has 13 members, including the U.S., that account for 40% of global gross domestic product: Australia, Brunei, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippi...
