Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 13:48:10 GMT

In what might be viewed as a gigantic upset given the sinking multi-year trajectory, the Pac-12’s outlook for the 2023-24 season improved substantially during the barrage of offseason roster maneuverings.The top of the conference looks far stronger than it did six weeks ago, when NBA Draft decisions and transfer portal moves were in their infancy.At this point, it’s far easier to envision at least four teams contending for the regular-season title and advancing to the 2024 NCAA Tournament.While additional roster moves are inevitable over the coming weeks, they will likely be sporadic.

‘Blanket training’: Duggar family documentary shows harsh way babies taught obedience

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 13:48:10 GMT

It’s hard to know which is the worst thing that reality TV parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are shown doing to their 19 children in the explosive four-part documentary, “Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets,” which premiered on Amazon Prime over the weekend.Was it the Duggars’ choice to impose a rigid and controlling form of Christian fundamentalism on their children, particularly on their daughters? Was it the couple’s decision to essentially cover up their oldest son’s admitted molestation of multiple girls, including his own sisters, when he was teenager? Or was it their alleged exploitation of their children’s private lives, with their TLC show, “19 Kids and Counting,” in order to be become rich, famous and influential in conservative circles?There’s so much to choose from when it comes to the outwardly happy and wholesome Duggar family and Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s loyalty to the ultraconservative Chr...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 13:48:10 GMT

By Alexandra Olson | Associated PressNEW YORK — Journalists at two dozen local newspapers across the U.S. walked off the job Monday to demand an end to painful cost-cutting measures and a change of leadership at Gannett, the country’s biggest newspaper chain.The strike involves hundreds of journalists at newspapers in at least seven states, including the Arizona Republic, the Austin American-Statesman, the Bergen Record, the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle, and the Palm Beach Post, according to the NewsGuild, which represents workers at more than 50 Gannett newsrooms. Gannett has said there would be no disruption to its news coverage during the strike, which will last for two days at two of the newspapers and one day for the rest.The walkouts coincided with Gannett’s annual shareholder meeting, during which the company’s board was duly elected despite the NewsGuild-CWA union urging shareholders to withhold their votes from CEO and board chairman Mike Reed as an ...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 13:48:10 GMT

SAN JOSE — Two men have been arrested in connection with the 2021 killing of a man in downtown San Jose whose death was a mystery for several months before the coroner’s office declared it was a homicide, authorities said.San Jose police officers were patrolling the area near Discovery Meadow off Woz Way on Sept. 13, 2021 when they found a man unconscious and not breathing, according to the police department.

Tussle in Texas over how elections are run could spread to other states

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 13:48:10 GMT

Matt Vasilogambros | Stateline.org (TNS)A move by Texas Republicans to abolish the position of Harris County elections administrator and hand new oversight powers to the governor-appointed secretary of state could provide a blueprint for GOP leaders in other states who want to tilt elections in their favor, Democratic lawmakers and independent election experts say.Republican lawmakers acted last month after arguing that Harris County — a Democratic stronghold that includes Houston and is the state’s largest and one of its most diverse counties — botched last year’s midterm election. Some precincts did not provide enough paper ballots or failed to open polling places on time, though the effects are unclear. Republicans claim the mistakes disenfranchised some voters.One of the bills the Republican-controlled Texas Legislature approved would eliminate the job of county election administrator, who is appointed by a five-member commission that includes the county judge, the tax assessor,...
