Hamas to release 13 Israelis, 7 foreigners for 39 Palestinians after hours-long delay, mediators say

The last-minute delay had created a tense standoff on the second day of what's meant to be a four-day cease-fire. By nightfall, as the hostages should have emerged from Gaza, Hamas alleged that the aid deliveries permitted by Israel fell short of what was promised and that not enough of it was reaching northern Gaza — the focus of Israel's ground offensive and main combat zone. Hamas also said not enough veteran prisoners were freed in the first swap on Friday.“This is putting the deal in danger,” Osama Hamdan, a senior Hamas official, said in Beirut. But Egypt, Qatar and Hamas itself later said obstacles had been overcome, and Hamas listed six women and 3...

Turkey leftovers: How long is too long in the refrigerator?

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:18:02 GMT

From sandwiches to Cobb salads, oft-overlooked recipes for leftover turkey on Black Friday abound, but just how long will all of that meat stay good in the refrigerator?“Once you’ve prepared something and it’s ready to go, you only want to leave it out for two hours,” said Alexis Supan, RD, registered dietitian for Cleveland Clinic. “The temperature danger zone is 40 degrees to 140 degrees. So, most food falls into that within a two-hour time frame.”If confining turkey consumption to a two-hour window seems unlikely, there are some things you can do to snack safely well after the main event. Chatsworth family has $200,000 worth of valuables stolen while Black Friday shopping Supan suggests using a slow cooker for some of the meat or warming the turkey in the oven when you start nearing that two-hour mark. The core temperature should hit 165 degrees, to be safe, according to Supan.If those leftovers are exposed to temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit while under the sun or sit...

Review: This play goes spectacularly wrong in San Jose — as it should

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:18:02 GMT

“The Play That Goes Wrong” can feel less hilarious farce and more painful documentary.Witnessing the dumpster fire that is the Cornley University Drama Society hits close to home for those who’ve ever been a part of an amateur drama production operating on a limited budget. Cue lines that don’t cue, improvising through a cast-member’s missed entrance and devastating head injuries that force a stage manager to turn to an understudy to save the show — sound familiar, thespians?What works smartly in the play, running at San Jose Stage Company through Dec. 17 after a delay of more than a year, and with a mostly new cast, is how evenly both acts are structured, the first act setting up fine payoffs in the final frame. Director Kenneth Kelleher’s work is often terrific when it comes to the action. His ability to build tableaus requiring intricate timing fits divinely in a show of this style.The issues of the play have been present in personal viewings of the show in New York, ...
