Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:55:16 GMT

STANFORD – Sam Roush seemed to follow his bloodlines when he was named the 2021 Tennessee Class AA co-defensive player of the year.Roush’s maternal great uncle is Pro Football Hall of Famer Merlin Olsen, who spent 15 years as a defensive tackle with the Los Angeles Rams. His maternal grandfather, Phil Olsen, also played defensive tackle in the NFL, while his father, Luke Roush, played safety at Duke.Roush had a breakout performance for Stanford last week that’d make his football-playing relatives proud – but it was on the other side of the ball, as a tight end. Roush led the team with seven catches for 61 yards in the Cardinal’s 10-7 win at Washington State.Stanford will likely need another big performance from Roush on Saturday if it hopes for another upset in the Pacific Northwest, this time as a three-touchdown underdog against No. 12 Oregon State (2:30 p.m., Pac-12 Network).Roush played tight end and defensive end in high school, and he said his defensive-minded family mem...

Sierra Nevada ski resorts saw their ski season extended by several months in 2023 after some historic rain and snowfall in January and March. How many atmospheric rivers hit California this 2022-23 winter? Though these storms caused hazardous conditions across the state, the snowpack allowed some resorts to stay open through late summer with the help of snowmaking machines. Since the start of the new water year on Oct. 1, Northern California has had several storms that, coupled with snowmaking operations, helped lead to the recently announced opening dates. In mid-November, weather forecasters expect above-normal precipitation throughout California, with a 40-60% chance of heavy precipitation in the Sierra Nevada.

On November 7, NSO Group, the Israeli spyware company infamous for its Pegasus phone-tapping technology, sent an urgent email and letter by UPS to request a meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and officials at the U.S. State Department. “I am writing on behalf of NSO Group to urgently request an opportunity to engage with Secretary Blinken and the officials at the State Department regarding the importance of cyber intelligence technology in the wake of the grave security threats posed by the recent Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel and their aftermath,” wrote Timothy Dickinson, partner at the Los Angeles-based law firm Paul Hastings, headquartered in Los Angeles, on behalf of NSO. In the last two years NSO’s reputation has taken a beating amid revelations about its spyware’s role in human rights abuses. As controversy was erupting over its role in authoritarian governments’ spying, NSO Group was blacklisted by the U.S. Department of Commerce in Novemb...

New Yorkers Voted to Put Environmental Rights in Their Constitution — but the Attorney General Is Fighting Back

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:55:16 GMT

COHOES, N.Y. — In a small city in upstate New York, just a few miles from Albany, the Norlite hazardous waste incinerator sputters and groans. The sound punctures the eerie silence of a deserted public housing complex next door, separated from the plant by only a fence and some railroad tracks. No children play on the jungle gym here anymore, and no families bustle in and out of front doors. Last year, after mounting concern from the community over Norlite’s air emissions, the Cohoes Housing Authority began relocating all residents of the 70-unit Saratoga Sites complex. The city now plans to raze the homes. For more than 30 years, the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, or DEC, has attempted to force Norlite to comply with state environmental laws, issuing the plant hundreds of thousands of dollars in penalties. But even dozens of violations dating back to the 1990s have failed to stop Norlite from polluting. Last year, when New York Attorney General Letitia...
