Pablo

— Anyone looking for a few car-related treasures need not look any further Sunday than the Vacaville Car Show and Swap Meet. “All men have car parts laying around,” said organizer Lenny Lungstrum of Vacav ille. “Some men’s junk is another man’s treasure.” People who work on cars usually have extras like parts, pieces and other things. They just lay around the house or garage gathering dust. Lungstrum said he wants to give men a chance to get rid of the“I’mextras.not here to make money,” he said. For this second swap meet and car show he had about six vendors with various types of items for sale, like tires and rims or even things to decorate the yard. Lungstrum said he plans to keep hosting the event in August, which he said seems a good time for swap meets. “I never know how many people will come,” he Lungstrumsaid. said he doesn’t have any require ments for the swap meet or the car show. He does charge a nominal fee to get in to the car show. This year saw about 10 cars with their owners competing for trophies. He said over the course of the year he plans to put together a website so people can get up-to-date informa tion each year. Rory Vincent of Vacaville has gone to several swap meets over the years. “This one is nice because it is close to home,” he said. The swap meet was in the parking lot of Kairos Public School downtown. Vincent has five hot rods and each time he works on them, he has a little extra left over. “You got rods, you have stuff collected,” he said. “You pull some thing off and put it on a Vincentshelf.” said he wasn’t planning to shop Sunday because he said he has all he needs – but would do a little window shopping Unzueta Unzueta

for CalMatters Sonja Shaw with her two daughters in Chino, Aug. 14.

for CalMatters Sonja Shaw is running for a seat on the Chino Valley school board, with help from the state Republican Party. “I’m running because I want to make sure that parents have a voice on the board, and to preserve the rights of a parent. During the shutdown, parents were pushed out, and we have had enough,” she said Aug. 14. Pablo

Sameea K amal CALMATTERSWhen California Republicans gathered in Anaheim this spring, attention focused on candidate speeches and endorsement battles as the party tries to win its first statewide race since 2006. But a little-noticed, hour-long session in a small conference room at the Marriott could very well be more consequential for the state GOP this election. The meeting focused on running for local school board seats, and it was led by Shawn Steel, a former party chairperson. Now, he’s one of the biggest evan gelists for strengthening the GOP by recruiting new candidates and voters in what are, officially at least, nonpartisan races. “When you’re a minority party, like Republicans in California . . . you have to think, ‘Well, what can we do as a party to make a big dif ference?’” Steel told CalMatters. “You see the schools are just in great freefall and chaos. Parents don’t want to send their kids there. So this is the time to get people that are otherwise angst-ridden, upset, powerless.” In California, Democrats have long used school boards as a recruiting and training ground for political candidates – with help from teachers’ unions. But while the state Democratic party isn’t amping up its school board efforts in 2022, the GOP is going in big with its “Parent Revolt” program – what party offi cials call their most tailored school board recruitment and training program ever. It includes virtual training sessions that detail how and where to run for office, plus tips for digital campaigns and goingThedoor-to-door.goal:Tocapitalize on Covid pandemic frustrations and con cerns over “critical race theory” and other issues among parents of school-aged children – and win not only school board seats, but also, eventually, legisla tive and congressional races by SuSan Hiland SHILAND@DAILYREPUBLIC.NETVACAVILLE

Talking football

My love of football is equaled by how much I loathe people talking about football on TV or worse, the radio. I don’t mean the play-by-play in a game, I am talking about shows where folks just talk and talk and talk about players, con tracts, statistics and the like. The blathering blah blah blah is overwhelming and truly the only person I could stomach talking about football for any length of time was John Madden because he was an original. But now that he has gone on to The Big Stadium in the Sky, I don’t wanna hear anyone else’s opinions, predictions or analysis. I’m thinking of making a pilgrimage to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, just to listen to Madden’s bronze bust talk football. Great white north My youngest brother Scott, who has dual U.S. and Canadian citizen ship, has from time to time mentioned that in addition to being a Raiders fan, he is a Riders fan – meaning the Sas katchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League. Look, no offense, but the CFL is to the NFL what those records that used to be on the back of cereal boxes are to plat inum albums. I have actually never seen a CFL game so my disdain is based on stereotypes. I am not interested in watch ing a football game where the referees are dressed like Mounties in “Dudley Do-Right,” the players are incredibly polite and where the major sponsors are Moosehead beer and Pierre’s Gourmet Poutine. Preseason While it is exciting to finally see my team get to play again, I don’t put much stock in preseason. I have seen too many pre season superheroes get zapped by regular season kryptonite and never be heard from again. Things that are way more important than who wins a preseason game include whether Ferris Bueller beats his parents home after his day off, whether Mr. Vernon discovers that John Bender’s weed liter ally is in Brian Johnson’s underwear or whether shower curtain ring sales man Del Griffith’s other hand is actually between twoYes,pillows.Ihad a John Hughes thing going while I was waiting for foot ball’s return.

F or the past few months scorchingtherays of the summer sun have been beating down on me as I stumbled through the annual desert of quality sports to watch. Ever since witnessing the ironically named Warriors luck into their seventh championship – still far eclipsed by my Lakers’ 17 – I have been adrift in a sea of baseball, golf, drag racing and other sports which many enjoy, but make me want to douse my peepers with Clorox Eye Bleach™. At one point I thought the blessed oasis of NFL football had arrived early, but it was just a taunting mirage – a Canadian Foot ball League game. More on that Today’slater.column is all about football: Facebook football smack talk rules of engagement So every year around this time I post my Face book Football Smack Talk Rules of Engagement to Mark Zuckerberg’s site with a picture of me at Candlestick Park in San Francisco when The Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers played in the regular season a number of years ago. I went with Ken, John and Peter – three friends of mine – all of whom are Niners fans. In the picture, they were trying to convert me into a Niners fan with wine (Martinel li’s sparkling cider) and cheese (pasteurized pro cessed cheese food). It, of course, didn’t take as their efforts were blocked by my awesome Lincoln Kennedy jersey, good taste, pride and common sense. At the game, the Raiders got beat down, Niners fans around me were Why?hadyoubyand“RaiderschantingSuck!”Iwasrazzedmyfriends.Butknowwhat?Iagreattime.BecauseI was with my friends. I am, and always will be, a Raiders fan. I talk lots of smack on Facebook, because good-natured sports rivalries are fun. I am always amazed when someone thinks I actu ally, literally, hate fans of other teams. Others may, but I don’t. I mean, I may not like their sports allegiances, but, if truth be told, some of my best punchlines are includedfriends.punchlines?Broncos/NinersChiefs/fans.Ohwait,didIsayImeantIwouldhaveChargersfans in that list, but they are on the Endangered Species list and so I am not legally able to do so. Look, football is enter tainment and I don’t take it that seriously. I always try to remem ber football kickoff day 2001 when it was oh-so important and then two days later, on Sept. 11, it was shown how nonessen tial it truly is. Here then are My SelfImposed Smack Talk Rules of Engagement on Facebook: n I only post smack on my timeline, not anyone else’s and I don’t tag anyone. I do not use pro fanity or post profane images. Also, I never post anything blatantly or even marginally sexist and/or homophobic. People who post smack on my timeline or tag me will have their posts deleted. If they post profanity on my timeline –see ya – unfriended.

How Sacramento was jolted into flood defense Climate change was hardly a top-of-mind issue for most Californians 25 years ago. But shortly after New Year’s Day in 1997, the Sacramento Valley got a dose of what could happen in a heavy atmospheric river storm, with tragic consequences. An unusually warm belt of precipitation drenched much of the Valley with rain. Parts of the Sierra foothills got 40 Forinches.awhile it was unclear whether the levees around Sacra mento would hold back the raging Sacramento and American rivers. Just north, in Yuba and Sutter counties, levees broke along the Feather River north of where it merges with the Sacra mento River. Eight people died and damage was esti mated at $1.8 billion. The next big jolt came in 2008. Inspectors dis covered that the levees guarding Sacramento’s Natomas basin, just north of downtown, were prone to seepage and could falter during a heavy storm. Officials realized that Natomas lacked what’s generally considered the minimum standard of defense: 100-year flood protection.

California cities are cut off from eachByother.thetime the waters recede, dozens are dead and the damage is in theItbillions.might be hard to wrap your head around a doomsday flooding scenario as California struggles through one of the worst droughts ever recorded. But a growing number of scientists say climate change – the same catastrophe that’s drying up the West – is also increasing the risk of nightmarish flooding across much of the state. Among the most vul nerable: Sacramento, Modesto, Stockton, Fresno and other cities of the Central Valley, the flood plain stretching from Red Bluff to Bakersfield. A new study by clima tologists at UCLA found that by the end of the 21st century, California’s most powerful atmospheric rivers could produce up to four times as much rain than any storm everAtmosphericrecorded. rivers form as high-powered winds drag a fire hose of tropical moisture across the Pacific Ocean, point ing directly at California for days on end. Just a handful of these storms account for the most of the precipitation the state receives during its brief rainy season in winter and earlyNorthernspring. California most recently got a taste of how powerful these storms can be in 2017, when a series of them tore a hole through Oro ville Dam’s flood-control spillway, eventually prompting the evacuation of 180,000 people. The UCLA research ers say global warming is increasing the size and severity of these storms. They say the precipita tion they bring will fall as rain instead of snow. While snow gradually melts, the climate-driven rains will come sloshing into California’s rivers in a rush, making floodwaters harder to control. The study warns that just one of these megastorm events – dubbed Biblical “ArkStorms” –could kill untold numbers of Californians, displace millions of others, close major highways for weeks and lead to $1 trillion in economic losses. They could dwarf the historic flood of 1862 – when, after a month of nonstop rain – newlyelected Gov. Leland Stanford had to take a rowboat to his inaugura tion in Sacramento. The Central Valley became a massive inland sea. Since then, of course, California has built bil lions of dollars worth of levees and dams, weirs and river bypasses, to safeguard its cities and divert flood waters away from population centers. But will this infra structure – much of it constructed decades ago, and designed based on weather patterns of that era – be enough to protect Californians from the cli mate-driven mega-floods of tomorrow?UCLAclimate scientist Daniel Swain, a co-author of the paper, warns Cal ifornia’s flood-control systems may not be up to the“Whatevertask. the risks were 50 or 100 years ago,” he said, “they are about double that now.”

Horoscopes by Holiday Mathis birthdayToday’s

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s really no point in arguing with people who are already 100% convinced they’re right. Certainty takes up the mental space needed for learn ing. Respectfully agreeing to disagree may be the best you can do. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The more honest you are about your feelings, strengths and weak nesses, the better you’ll know yourself. And the better you know yourself, the easier it is to arrange your life in the way that leads you to be the person you want to be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You are in the process of becoming. The cause that captures your curiosity and heart will soon capture your identity as well. As you dedicate more of your attention in this realm, it will shape you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Try not to get too frus trated with the situation, even if nothing about it seems to yield to your influence. The only thing you can change about this is your attitude -- but that will change absolutely everything. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Options abound. Some seductive routes are dead wrong for you; others intrigue you for a reason. Don’t worry, you’ll know in the earliest stages. Just make sure you act quickly according to the infor mation your gut provides. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you don’t know what the com petition is doing, you’ll be at a disadvantage. If you obsess about what the competition is doing, it will affect your pro ductivity. You will now strike the perfect balance of aware ness in this regard. Write Holiday Mathis at HolidayMathis.com.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve learned from the best teachers, and you’ve learned even more from the worst teachers. Examples of what you don’t want are extremely valuable and memorable, too. Your body automatically steers away from them. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Decide where you are and are not willing to go with another person. The closer the relation ship, the more potential it has to alter the course of your life for better or worse. You’ll be very careful in this regard. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Indulgence can be self-love or self-denial, depending on the situation. When you’ve been very strict, letting yourself relax can be the sweetest kind ness. When you’ve been too lax, pulling in the reigns is the loving move.

FROM A MAGAZINE TO AN ONLINE TABLE Recently, I received an email from Sandy Harlow, who lives in a suburb of Baltimore. He is a reader of my column in the American Contract Bridge League’s monthly magazine, the Bridge Bulletin.Ihad been doing a series about handling trump suits and had ended with a deal featuring a dummy reversal. This had interested Harlow, and he determined to keep his eyes open for one. A day or two later, lo and behold, he played the deal in today’s diagram during an online duplicate at Bridge BaseHowOnline.didHarlow play in five diamonds after West (a robot) led the spadeNorth’seight?two-diamond response was an inverted minor-suit raise, showing at least game-invitational values and denying a four-card major. Harlow’s immediate jump to game was precipi tate, but he and his partner, a robot, had not discussed follow-up sequences. Harlow wanted to win 12 tricks if possible. He noted that he had started with five trump tricks, but if he ruffed two hearts in his hand, that number would be up to six. Harlow won with his spade ace, played a diamond to the ace, ruffed a heart (East correctly not playing his ace), led a club to the king and ruffed a second heart. Then declarer cashed the diamond queen, played a trump to the king and took the diamond jack, which squeezed East in three suits! He could not hold all of the side suits. Eventu ally, East parted with a spade, turning Harlow’s spade seven into a 12th winner.Plus 420 was a decent score, but a number of pairs played in three no-trump, which made with at least one overtrick for 430 or more.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Very few people are lucky enough to be surrounded by support. Many must advo cate for themselves or seek out circles of support. You have a talent for encouraging and lifting others, and it’s very valu able indeed.

Editor’s’s note: Annie Lane is off this week. The following column was originally pub lished in 2019. Dear Annie: We are grandparents who have adopted our twin 9-yearold grandchildren, a boy and a girl. They have lived with us perma nently since they were 2 years old. They have sepa rate bedrooms upstairs but have always slept together. The past year, they have chosen to sleep on the main floor in the guest bedroom. It is at the point in their lives where they’ll soon grow into puberty, so within the past two months we have been trying to get them to sleep upstairs in their own bedrooms. Every night we find them in the middle of the floor in various places: bathroom floor upstairs, closet floor downstairs, spare bedroom downstairs, on a couch or together in our grand son’s bed. We have made efforts to make their rooms special: buying radios for their music; having them pick out their own paint colors and night lights; adding special “happy” posters, new beds and bedding with soft, cozy blankets; letting them sleep with their stuffed animals; and reading to them separately eachWenight.kiss them goodnight, tell them we love them and say, “sweet dreams” but every night they wake up at all hours and relocate. When we wake up during the night, we chase them back into their beds but still find them somewhere else later. We have talked to them numerous times to allow them to express their fears – darkness, ghosts, whatever – and we’ve tried to offer helpful themsuggestions.Wehaverewardedwithspecialpriv ileges and treats on the three nights when they actually stayed upstairs, even though they did not stay in their own beds. We have also taken away privileges: no sleepovers with friends, no campouts. (We let them camp out on the family room floor on weekends.) They do several things sep arately during the days, have separate friends, separate activ ities and separate classrooms. Please help us as we are all losing sleep over this life transi tion. — Bedtime Help Needed Dear Bedtime Help: No one ever said parenting was easy, and you and your husband are experiencing a particularly dif ficult challenge. You are wise grandparents to recognize the danger of their sleeping together as brother and sister as they begin to go through puberty. You took all the right steps by using a reward system initially, and, when that didn’t work, imposing negative conse quences for their actions. Since that is still not working, it’s time to seek the help of a profes sional therapist as you and your grandchildren adjust to this new transition in life. Heading fore seeable problems off at the pass is always a good step to take. Dear Annie: My letter is about aging and manners toward the elderly. I was at a store recently and getting ready to walk out, pushing my cart. At the same time, there was a young girl pushing the cart for her mother as they were leaving the store. The mother stopped the cart and said to her daughter, “Always let older people go first.” I was insulted. But then I came to realize that the mother was teaching her daugh ter a lesson on respecting her elders. So many people do not respect their elders, and I was glad to see this mother teaching her child to do so. Bless this mother. — Another Aging Individual Dear Another Aging Indi vidual: Your letter shows that you are a very thoughtful person. When feeling insulted by a comment, most people get angry and want to retaliate. But you stopped to think about it, and you saw the positive in the mother’s comment -- that she was trying to teach her daughter an important lesson about respecting her elders. By taking the time to under stand the mother’s motive, you have taught all of us a valu able lesson. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

Dear ‘Big Brother,’ is it 1984? Search and seizure adds new twist

A6 Monday, August 22, 2022 — DAILY REPUBLIC

Opinion

Jim McCully

California faces existential threat of a megaflood C alifornia had been a state for scarcely a decade and was home to fewer than 500,000 people when it was hammered in the winter of 1861-62 by the most pow erful series of rainstorms in recorded history. “This event, which was characterized by weeks-long sequences of winter storms, pro duced widespread catastrophic flooding across virtually all of Califor nia’s lowlands – transforming the interior Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys into a temporary but vast inland sea nearly 300 miles in length and inundating much of the now densely populated coastal plain in present-day Los Angeles and Orange counties.” That description comes from a new study suggesting that due to climate change, California is at ever-increas ing risk of another disastrous chain of storms, one that would be devastating, both in human and economic terms, in a state with nearly 40 million residents. “We find that climate change has already increased the risk of a (1862) megaflood sce nario in California, but that future climate warming will likely bring about even sharper risk increases,” the study warns. Building on previous studies about the likelihood that California could experience a series of storms similar to the 1861-62 event, researchers Xingying Huang and Daniel Swain say such an event “would likely produce widespread, catastrophic flooding and subsequently lead to the displacement of millions of people, the long-term closure of critical transportation corridors and ultimately to nearly $1 trillion in overall eco nomicHuanglosses.”isascientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and Swain is a UCLA climate scientist. Although a megaflood could hit many regions of the state, the 300-mile-long Central Valley is at greatest risk because of its geog raphy. It is in essence an elongated bowl into which, in normal times, water flows benev olently from melting snow in the Sierra. Water that’s not consumed in the valley even tually flows into the Pacific Ocean via San Francisco Bay. We’ve had instances in the past when the valley’s drainage system was overwhelmed by heavy runoff, the worst occurring when warm tropical storms suddenly melted the snowpack. Just a few years ago, the nation’s highest dam, Oroville, nearly collapsed when it received more runoff than it could handle. After killer hurricane Katrina devas tated New Orleans, the federal government declared that the Sacramento area was the nation’s most vulnerable region for heavy flooding. During the 1861-62 megaflood, rail road magnate Leland Stanford had to be carried to the partially constructed Capitol in a rowboat for his inauguration as gover nor. The city was so devastated that state government was temporarily shifted to SanSoFrancisco.thereitis. Add megaflood to earth quakes and wildfires on the list of existential threats to California and its millions of residents. What can we do to minimize theSlowly,danger?federal, state and local govern ments have been bolstering levees in areas with the highest risks, although officials in Stockton have complained that they have gotten a disproportionately low share of flood control spending. However, even the projects underway are being engineered for floods of lesser intensity than the megaflood outlined in the new study. The study authors suggest that not only more money is needed for flood control but that California should give the creation of flood plains more priority. Sacramento already depends on two dedicated flood plains, called “bypasses,” to prevent heavy flows from overwhelming river levees. California should also rethink how its res idents are insured against catastrophes. Perhaps we could create a statewide umbrella policy to provide basic flood, earthquake and fire protection, financed by property-related fees, that individuals could supplement. The worst response would be to do nothing. CalMatters is a public interest journalism venture committed to explaining how Califor nia’s state Capitol works and why it matters.

I remind my readers that we’re living in historic times. Your children and grandchildren will ask you about your memories of today and you’ll want to have memories to share. We’ve had our first char ismatic president in a long time – Donald Trump. He will go down as a “great” leader which usually means someone who, through the force of his personality, changes history. There are no moral connotations to “great” – just the per sonal force to change history. And it’s a remarkable time to observe human differences. Conser vatives hearken to the words of Alpha Dog and thump their tails madly at the sound of his voice while liberals are immediately repulsed. Why? Some PhD will eventually tell us. After four years in office, Alpha Dog wants to rule without the hin drance of law, that’s readily seen. The newest scandal, his retention of top secret documents at his Mar-a-Lago club home, is the latest example. His claim that the Justice Department and FBI have been politicized is laughable. Politicized? This is the man who attempted to pack the top leadership at the Department of Justice with unknown, unqualified cronies in order for Justice to send a completely bogus message to the state of Georgia to get a Politicized?revote. This is the man who fired the FBI director (who basi cally got him elected) because the FBI director wouldn’t promise not to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 Politicized?election.He appointed unknown, unqualified cronies to the Defense Department after his November defeat. That, too, was unprecedented and political. Gen. Mark Milley was so alarmed at one point that he penned a resigna tion letter in which pulled no punches. “. . . you were doing great and irreparable harm to my country. I believe that you have made a concerted effort over time to politi cize the United States military.” All this shameful behavior didn’t deter our Republican leaders from exploding like so many Vesuviuses at the “raid” or, more properly, the search of Trump’s Florida digs. The next day, the former president tweeted, “Be ready to kill the enemy… Kill [the FBI] on sight.” Ah, inspiring words from a former president. Sen. Rick Scott gushed, “. . . the government is acting like the Gestapo” while Ted Cruz wrote, “Tomorrow . . . as soon as the gun shops open . . . get whatever you need for combat.” House Speaker Kevin McCar thy put the attorney general on notice that upon Republican control of the House, he would be investigated as Hillary was – a show trial just like those in Stalinist Russia. That, too, is politicization.Sigh.Such is the patriotic Right. (But you gotta watch out for those farleft socialist Democrats, right?) Serious threats have been made against the FBI and two people have died so far due to the inflamma tory rhetoric.

Now consider the fact that those boxes could have been exposed to anyone during the 19 months he had them, including people working for Trump’s favorite dictators. It sends a Totallyshiver.chilling is the newest fact. The FBI didn’t seize just to get them back into the archives. They seized them as evidence for criminal and national security investigations. Egad! Then we just learned that the apparently cockamamie efforts by several swing states to install fake presidential electors and by several counties across the nation to tamper with voting machines was in fact a coordinated effort directed by the White House. Yikes! Never in my born days . . . . Jack Batson is a former member of the Fairfield City Council. Reach him by email at jsbatson@prodigy.net.

The charges now against Trump are the gravest against him yet and that’s saying something. He took 40-some boxes of documents with him as a private citizen (why?) when he left office for Florida. It took a year to uncover that fact. There were one or two subpoenas to give them back. He gave back 15 and claimed those were all, but someone tipped off the FBI that he had 26 more, so the FBI legally searched and seized. Why didn’t he give them back? Set aside for a moment that some boxes were marked top secret. My archivist wife points out that those all belonged in the National Archives. They were not his; they were the American people’s.

A n astounding thing hap pened Aug. 8. A search warrant was issued by a provably partisan federal magistrate, Bruce Reinhart. A magistrate is the lowest level of federal court offi cial. Magistrates handle misdemeanors not felonies, federal traffic tickets, pre-trial motions and other lower-level judicial processes. They do, however, have the power to sign warrants after ensuring probable cause has been established. Why a magistrate instead of a District Court judge? Maybe inconvenient questions weren’t asked. The warrant was for Mar-a-Lago, the home of the former president of the United States. Let that sink in. Never in our history has such a thing occurred. Why now? BenjaminElections.Franklin said: “If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.” Passion has been unleashed by “Big Brother.” Reason better catch up. No one is above the law. That’s the founding principle of our U.S. Con stitution. Yet, so-called leaders and their families apparently are. We’ve allowed the past four FBI directors and certain members of their staffs to operate lawlessly without conse quence. Why? Power. I’ve named Democratic Party –what I call the Democrat Socialist Progressive Peoples Party – adherents from Hillary Clinton to Adam Schiff, Hunter Biden, James Comey (FBI), James Clapper (DNI), John Brennan (CIA), etc. lawless and highly parti san actors because proof exists. The FBI has not raided any of their homes. Each has had ques tionable dealings, dereliction of duty and outright viola tion of federal laws including Title 18 Sections 793 prohibit ing the gathering, possession, transmission or loss of defense information and 1001 pro hibiting false, fictitious or fraudulent statements. But no search for them. Gee, I wonder why? What’s the difference? Oh yeah, I know. These clowns are part of the Democratic Party circus and are therefore immune to our heretofore sacred “Rule of Law.” God help America. Democratic Party leadership has shown utter contempt for America. We’ve had one sham investigation after another since Donald Trump announced for office. Americans who seek informa tion from other than CNN, et al have heard the lies and seen lawless behav ior from email deletions, cellphones destroyed in front of FBI agents, com puter servers wiped clean, lies on Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court warrant affidavits, yet no indict ments were sought. Why? Politics. Government public integrity cases are done by the FBI. However, I have investigated two cases as a Secret Service special agent when, for politi cal reasons, the FBI declined. The U.S. attorney in District of Columbia had such an instance and asked the Secret Service, which accepted the case. I, along with other special agents, was assigned. The results were presented to a federal grand jury. Indictments were sought, warrants were issued, arrests were made, trials were held and convictions obtained. However, because of the officials’ positions, the cases were coordinated with and actions approved by the attor neyOnegeneral.casewas so politically sen sitive the attorney general briefed the White House Political Office and the White House chief of staff wasIfnotified.thiswas done for appointees, can you imagine raiding the home of a former president was not cleared by the attorney general? Can you imagine this action taken without the consent of President Joe Biden? In my experience, one needs a very good reason to substitute a search warrant for a grand jury subpoena, usually worry of imminent destruction of evidence, yet two-plus days passed prior to service of the warrant. The hubris involved is astounding. Dem ocratic Party minions routinely took problematic actions against candi date, president-elect, president and now former president Trump. Former FBI Director Comey’s office lied to federal judges at the FISA court and who knows whatever else. What’s hap pened? Nothing. What has happened to justice itself in America? If this doesn’t make you sit up and pay attention, what will? Putting any Democratic Party member in office is madness. Remember in November. Jim McCully is a former chairman of the Solano County Republican Central Committee and former regional vice chairman of the California Repub lican Party.

CALMATTERS COMMENTARY

ON THE LEFT THE RIGHT STUFF

In the meantime, the experts said Cali fornians must prepare for the “There’sworst.going to be a big storm, and it’s probably going to come sooner rather than later,” Ramirez said. “And even if we build up every thing, . . . we’re still at risk here. And we still need to be Theprepared.”Central Valley does have one thing going for it even with climate change making its storms worse, said Lund, the UC Davis watershed expert. The atmospheric river storms that strike the Central Valley and the Sierra for days or weeks on end tend not to be like hurricanes that send massive amounts of rain in just a few hours, quickly over whelming levees and inundating towns. “The nice thing about floods in the Central Valley,” he said, “is they’re usually prettyAndgradual.”unlikewhat Cali fornia experienced with the great flood of 1862, the state has massive reservoirs now that can capture much of the rain fall and dole it out over longer periods. “Because we have those big res ervoirs,” Lund said, “it gives people a chance to get out of the way.” But Swain, the UCLA climate researcher, warns that Californians shouldn’t get compla cent or feel like their flood protection systems will keep them safe. The sorts of megastorms envisioned in his study wouldn’t just hit one region. Instead, they’d blast Los Angeles and Fresno and San Francisco and Sacramento in one big, weekslong deluge. It would make the damage from an earth quake look minor in comparison, he said. “You wouldn’t just have one disaster zone in one city to deal with,” Swain said. “You’d have a bunch of simultane ous problems emerging everywhere all at once.”

Environmentalists say expanding flood-plains along rivers would also have the additional benefit of creating habitat for the region’s imperiled native fishIfspecies.there’s any good news, it’s that the San Joaquin Valley is less populated than much of California. There’s more undeveloped space to create these “multi-bene fit projects” that help the ecosystem and protect against catastrophic flooding in urban areas, said Tim Ramirez, a member of the Central Valley Flood Protection Board who’s focused on the San Joaquin Valley. “The San Joaquin is rich with potential,” he said. “And I think we’re trying to get the funding to catch up to capitalize on that opportunity.”

moratorium on new con struction in Natomas. It wasn’t lifted until 2015. In the meantime, state and local governments started bearing down on flood risk. In the wake of Hur ricane Katrina, the Legislature in 2007 passed a law requir ing urban areas to have 200-year flood protec tion – enough defense to handle a flood with a 1-in-200 chance of occur ring in a year. In the Sacramento area, federal and state agencies, along with the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency, have strengthened levees in Natomas and elsewhere in the region. The federal government built a new flood-control spillway at Folsom Dam that will enable dam operators to start spilling water from the reservoir more quickly if a big storm is coming. The wall of the dam is also being raised for added reser voirMorecapacity.work is under way. Among other things, officials are overhauling the two major bypasses that sit near downtown Sacramento and serve as a sort of safety valve for the floodwa ters that could inundate the city. When the Sac ramento and American rivers get too high, the bypasses shunt water onto levee-lined farm fields in Yolo County. By 2030, much of the Sacramento Valley will have achieved 200-year flood protection man dated by the Legislature. Nearly $6 billion will have been spent in the Sacramento area alone, according to spokesman Tyler Stalker of the Army Corps of Engineers. “I’m totally confident that the system will be able to pass the 1862 flood,” said Joe Countryman, a member of the Central Valley Flood Protection Board, a state“Sacramentoagency. is going to be very, very safe fromSwainflooding.”doesn’t share Countryman’s confidence. The UCLA climatolo gist said it’s becoming impossible to say that a city has sufficient protec tion against a 200-year storm, for example, when records for pre vious storms only go back as long as people were keeping track. At the same time, climate change is obliterating previous estimates of how much damage a 200-year storm can bring. “We’ve seen this all around the country where the Army Corps said, you know, this (city) has 200- or 300-year flood protection or even 500year flood protection,” Swain said. Then a far worse flood than anyone imagined comes along and overwhelms the city. The UCLA researchers say the “flood sequences” envisioned in their study could generate 200% to 400% more runoff by the end of the century. Yet Countryman, an engineer who retired from the Army Corps, said the UCLA study depicts a “Never-Nev erland” storm that would beyond a doubt overwhelm the Sac ramento region’s flood-control capacity. “If you got a flood twice the 1862 flood, we would not be able to manage it,” he Butacknowledged.hesaidhis agen cy’s climate models suggest the flooding greater Sacramento could expect would be 10% to 15% more dangerous than what what the region has experienced histor ically – much less than what UCLA is predicting.

The filing deadline for candidates was Friday, though it was extended until today for seats held by incumbents not seeking reelection. While no statewide tally exists, of the nine seats up for election in the three largest school dis tricts – Los Angeles, San Diego, and Fresno – three are open seats, where no incumbent is running. The Republican Party would not disclose its goals for recruited can didates, other than as many as possible. It also wouldn’t say how much it is spending on its “Parent Revolt” effort. “We recognized early that education is going to be a major motivating issue for many Califor nians this year,” said Ellie Hockenbury, spokesper son for the state GOP. “Whereas it is often the case that top-of-the-ticket races help turnout for down-ballot races, we also believe that local races could be just as big a motivator for many to drive turnout.

Then the GOP pro vided a level of guidance on running a campaign that Shaw otherwise wouldn’t have had: “We were treading water, without knowing where we’re going,” she said. These local races are hardly low-stakes: School board members around the state will be at the forefront of determining how federal funding is spent and addressing labor short ages, teacher pay and inequities in edu cation exacerbated by the“I’mpandemic.justtrying – and the party is trying – to get the word out: There’s a whole lot of stuff going on in your back yard,” Steel said in an interview. “Don’t worry about the Ukraine, don’t worry about D.C.

Some political consul tants think it could be a smart way to go. “It’s the one instance where the David really can defeat the Goliath –when David continues to be so arrogant,” said Sean Walsh, a GOP strategist. But Rusty Hicks, chairperson of the Cali fornia Democratic Party, said he sees some within the Republican Party using “this really chal lenging moment in our history” to further divide the state for political gain. “Ultimately I think parents want the best education for their kids,” he told CalMatters. “And is banning books and pun ishing teachers and those kinds of activities – is that top of mind for parents? No, I don’t believe so.” ‘A logical outgrowth’ In California’s 2022 election, the big action on education isn’t in the statewide race for the superintendent of public instruction. That’s a departure from the last midterm election in 2018, when it was one of the state’s most hotly con testedWithraces.the help of teachers’ unions, Tony Thurmond narrowly defeated school choice advocate Marshall Tuck. The two – both Demo crats in the nonpartisan race – spent $60 million combined. This year, there has been little chal lenge to Thurmond, who won 46% of the vote in the June 7 primary, just shy of the majority he needed to win outright without going to November. His challenger on Nov. 8, Republican Lance Christensen, earned a top-two spot with only 12% of the vote. He has raised only about $55,000 so far, compared to nearly $1.7 million for Thurmond, who is also boosted by $2.3 million in independent expendi tures on his behalf.

Also, the state GOP says it doesn’t give directly to school board candidates, but said its training provides nonmonetary support. The April workshop and virtual event in July had at least 100 attendees each. The party has also conducted one-on-one sessions with prospective candidates.Similar to its Califor nia Trailblazers program, which focuses on running for legislative seats, par ticipants received a binder of information that includes not just dead lines and required forms, but also vendor options, website design tools and tips on how to make the most of campaign funds.

In June 2021, she began attending Tustin Unified school board meetings, where she said she joined many other angry parents. Feeling shut out, Felton decided to enter politics, and took part in the state GOP July training session, which she said taught her “the practicality of running.” “It did inspire me to think that I can do it,” she said. One point emphasized in the training sessions: It usually doesn’t cost a lot to run for school board.

That’s where mailers come in handy, and they can cost anywhere from $10,000 in a smaller district to $40,000 in a large one. For the GOP, that’s a more cost-effective way to win seats.

And three San Francisco school board members were recalled in February.Butaccording to Steel, running for school board in regular elections is a better use of time for candidates than recalls – which can be powerful at times, but are often shortsighted. “I like to say run or recruit. Don’t bitch to me anymore,” he said. Hicks, the Cal ifornia Democratic Party leader, said the Republican party’s focus on local races is not surprising, given that the Democratic Party has largely targeted state and federal races for the last two decades. “As a result, Repub licans have been able to maintain some level of relevance on the local level,” he said. Is Hicks worried? “No, because at the end of the day while Republicans in Califor nia are trying to throw everything at the wall and hope something sticks –to keep people angry and to frankly, in my view, destroy a traditional free public education in Cali fornia – Democrats have been focused on the most important things.” That includes smaller class sizes and ensuring students have pathways to college and careers, HicksSchnursaid.said that while education is an issue that Democrats believe belongs to them, the pan demic concerns could help the GOP. “It’s more than likely that Republicans can reinforce their strengths in their regions of core support,” he said. “But it’s an open question whether they can expand beyond that base.”

The state GOP isn’t alone in recruiting or training school board candidates who oppose critical race theory and vaccine mandates and take issue with school unions. Other organiza tions involved include Let Them Breathe, a group that advocates for more parental say, including against mask mandates; the Californians for Equal Rights Foundation; and churches, though as nonprofits, they’re not permitted to do more than provideSomeinformation.candidates who took part in the GOP ses sions said they’ve taken part in training by other groups as Morganwell.Polikoff, an associate professor at USC’s Rossier School of Education, said while there are legitimate con cerns about how school boards handled the pan demic, partisan influence can sometimes turn toxic – and isn’t politically beneficial, either. “What I would hope is that these efforts actually engage seri ously with issues that matter to voters . . . and not on sort of man ufactured stuff about transgender athletes, or pick a topic, that these culture wars that conser vative candidates in other places are running on,” Polikoff said. How likely are candi dates to Polikoffsucceed?said that depends on how much candidates can stay on message with issues that matter to parents and voters. “In my view, the reason why the Repub lican Party has really struggled in California is the candidates are too extreme for where the majority of the state is,” he said.

While the state Dem ocratic Party doesn’t have a specific strat egy focused on school boards, it is operating the California version of the Democrats’ national strategy called “Contest Every Race,” recruiting candidates to run for city council, school board and other local seats, with a focus on rural areas. Hicks said the party looks to its county chap ters to take the lead on local races. In Placer County, for example, the local Democratic Party is hosting phone bank events every Saturday. In Contra Costa County, the local party responded to concerns from school board members who reported being harassed and threatened. It passed two resolutions, one sup porting the pandemic measures taken by school board members and calling out “coordinated efforts by a ‘network of conservative groups with ties to major Republican donors and party-aligned think tanks’ to engage in culture war fights designed to intimidate school board members so they can be replaced by radical conservatives.” A second res olution passed in November 2021 backed the district’s ethnic studies curriculum and criticized the effort to mislead parents into con fusing critical race theory with ethnic studies.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler began his Sunday by walking over to the tarp in foul territory down the left-field line, taking a seat, crossing his legs and proceeding to sign autographs for just about anyone who asked. The imagery of a manager so at peace, only a few hours before first pitch, is rarely seen in a major-league ballpark.

Other parts of Kapler’s morning included tossing a football around in the outfield and playing catch with Logan Webb. It only got stranger as game time got closer: an entire string section set up in left field (to perform the national anthem), two real-life donkeys made friends behind home plate (for no clear reason), and few more humans pre tending to be animals plodded around the warning track. (It was mascot day, after all.) But perhaps the oddest thing of all came in extra innings during San Fran cisco’s series finale here against the Rockies: They got a hit with a runner in scoring position, and before the 10th inning was over, did it again. In one inning, the Giants recorded as many hits with a man stand ing on second or third as they did over their entire four-game losing streak, which came to an end Sunday with an 8-7 win in 11 innings over theThairoRockies.Estrada deliv ered a tie-breaking blow with a single up the middle in the top of the 10th, and Austin Wynns provided an insurance run with an RBI double a couple batters later – the Giants’ fifth hit of the day with runners in scoringAfterposition.thebullpen blew leads of 6-3 after seven innings and 8-6 after 10, Wilmer Flores’ sac fly to drive home Mike Yastr zemski in the 11th proved to be the decisive run.

I f any dish were a poem, oyakodon would come pretty darned close. Preparation begins by slowly warming up dashi and sending sliced onions for a tumble into a savory broth. Eggs are lightly beaten and poured gingerly over chicken thighs and mellowed-out onions. You can’t rush oyakodon – patience rewards the cook with pillowy eggs, juicy chicken and a fistful of onions soft to the bite. All the while, the sweet aroma of dashi envelops the kitchen like a cozy, weighted blanket. And then there’s the name itself: Oyakodon, a Japanese chicken and egg rice bowl, translates literally to “par ent-and-child donburi.” The dish is a nod to the perplexing, perennially debated chicken-egg dilemma. (Which came first: The chicken or the egg, the dish seems to jest.) Taking inspira tion from a similar Chinese chicken and egg dish, Paul Simon, in his song “Mother and Child Reunion,” sings of a poetic reunion: “No, I would not give you false hope / On this strange and mournful day / But the mother and child reunion / Is only a motion away.” Like a poetic song, making oya kodon evokes intense family memories around the dinner table as well as the time I learned to live alone. Those five months in early 2021 were some of the loneliest. At first, I welcomed the quiet, explorative change. With a kitchen all to myself, I indulged in elaborate dishes and fan ciful cakes but found myself stumped and slumped when I couldn’t share them with anyone. It was only when I embraced the simple, unfussy art of one-pot dishes that I found myself gravitating back to the kitchen. Skillet in hand, I sampled my way through Japanese and Vietnamese comfort foods and insisted on learning tra ditional Chinese dishes from my grandmother on WeChat. Soon enough, oyakodon wriggled its way into my weekly dinner rota tion. A comforting spoonful of egg, chicken and rice served as a reminder that food could heal even the loneli est of pangs. To this day, when asked to whip up my favorite recipe from when I lived alone, I pull out my skillet and declare it oyakodon time. As with a favorite poem, there are many ways to interpret this dish. If you prefer more onions, cut more onions. Feeling a dash of spice or slightly bitter bite? Consider adding shichimi togarashi, a Japanese sea soning blend, or mitsuba, a Japanese herb similar to parsley. And for an equally delicious vegetarian spin, tofu will soak up all that savory broth. Oya kodon lends itself well to culinary riffs, and soon it can become an indis pensable part of your weekly dinner rotation, just as it had for me.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days. Where to Buy: Instant dashi and spice blend shichimi togarashi can be found at Asian markets or online. Mitsuba, a Japanese herb akin to parsley, can be found at Asian markets. NOTES: Chicken breast, cut into 1 to 1 1 2 inch pieces, and sliced tofu take less time to cook, 3 to 4 minutes total. For crispier chicken, brown the chicken on both sides before adding the other ingredients. Then, transfer it to a plate. Proceed with the recipe, arranging the cooked chicken evenly around the skillet before adding the eggs. 1 cup instant or homemade dashi 2 teaspoons mirin (may be substituted with sake) 2 teaspoons soy sauce 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 1 2 medium yellow onion (4 ounces total), thinly sliced 3 boneless skin-on or skinless chicken thighs, sliced 3 large eggs, beaten lightly Chopped scallions, for garnish (optional) Mitsuba, for garnish (optional) 2 cups cooked Japanese-style shortgrain white rice, for serving Shichimi togarashi, for serving (optional) In a medium skillet over medium heat, combine the dashi, mirin, soy sauce and sugar and bring to a simmer. Taste and season with more soy sauce and/or sugar, if desired. Add the onions and simmer until they begin to soften, 6 to 7 minutes. Arrange the chicken around the skillet and simmer until it is opaque and white on the outside, 6 to 7 minutes total. Pour the beaten eggs in a smooth stream over the skillet until the egg mixture covers all of the surface area. The texture of the eggs will look soupy, but that’s normal. Cover the pan and let the eggs fully cook, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the eggs become custardy. Uncover, sprinkle the scallions and/or mitsuba, if using, over the eggs, and remove from the heat. To serve, divide the rice among the bowls, followed by the oyakodon. Serve with the shichimi togarashi at the table for heat.

(JAPANESEOYAKODONCHICKEN AND EGG RICE BOWL) Active time: 20 minutes | Total time: 25 minutes 2 to 3 servings A comforting spoonful of egg, chicken and rice from a one-pan oyakodon recipe makes for a quick, delicious meal. For the best results, use boneless chicken thighs, but you can also substitute with chicken breasts or firm tofu

A warm bowl of soup might not be exactly what you think of to eat in the middle of summer, but some cultures do just that on the hottest days of the year, and there is scientific evidence to support the cooling effect of consuming hot foods on warm days. And this coconut corn soup – topped with as much chili crisp as your heart desires – is begging to be made right now with peak season corn. Or, if you’d rather enjoy it during the colder months, frozen or canned kernels make this a pantry-friendly recipe that can be enjoyed any time of the year. It starts as most good recipes do: by saute ing an onion. A mélange of spices – including coriander, garlic powder and smoked paprika – fills your kitchen with an almost intoxicating aroma. Next, corn and liquid are added and then simmered until the kernels are tender. The liquid is a combination of broth or water and coconut milk. Broth, of course, has more flavor, but water works too if you’re out. I developed this recipe using vegetable broth, but you can use chicken broth or stock if you aren’t vegetarian. Canned coconut milk adds a lovely creami ness while keeping the soup vegan. As delightful as the soup is on its own, the addition of chili crisp transforms each serving into a bowl of sweet-and-spicy comfort. When drizzled on top, it becomes an edible Rorschach test for the diner to deter mine what they see – I can almost make out an elephant’s face wearing sunglasses in the image above – and I love the beautiful streaks of red that form against the yellow backdrop of the soup with each dip of your spoon. But if you aren’t a fan of spice, toasted coconut or chopped peanuts would also work well as a garnish, or simply omit it. For a heart ier meal, serve with toast or a piece of crusty bread for dunking in the soup. COCONUT CORN SOUP WITH CHILI CRISP Time: 25 minutes 4 servings (about 6 cups) Corn, coconut milk and spices form the base of this simple corn soup. Frozen or canned corn make this recipe pantry-friendly, or you could use fresh corn when it’s in season. As delightful as the soup is on its own, the addition of chili crisp trans forms it into a bowl of sweet and spicy comfort. Storage Notes: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium yellow onion (about 7 ounces), diced 1 1 2 teaspoons ground coriander 1 teaspoon fine salt, plus more to taste 1 2 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste 1 2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 2 teaspoon smoked paprika Two (12-ounce) bags frozen sweet corn (may substitute with three (15ounce) cans no-salt-added whole kernel sweet corn, drained, or about 5 cups fresh corn kernels) 2 cups no-salt-added or low-sodium vegetable broth or water One (13.5-ounce) can unsweetened full-fat coconut milk Chili crisp, for serving In an 8-quart or similarly sized stock pot over medium-high heat, heat the oil until it shimmers. Add the onion, coriander, salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika and cook, stirring regularly, until the onion begins to soften and turn translu cent, about 5 minutes. Add the corn, broth or water, and coconut milk, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring regularly and adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer, until the corn is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. (Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender, cover loosely [see NOTE], and blend, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high, until the consistency is as smooth or chunky as desired.) Taste, and season with more salt and/or pepper, if needed. Ladle into bowls, drizzle with the chili crisp and serve warm. NOTE: When blending the hot soup, be careful not to fill the blender pitcher more than halfway. Remove the center ring from the lid and place a kitchen towel over the opening as you blend. This will allow steam to escape and protect you from splatters.

The WashingTon PosT MOUNTAIN VIEW — Researchers here at Google’s lab recently asked a robot to build a burger out of various plastic toy ingredients. The mechanical arm knew enough to add ketchup after the meat and before the lettuce but thought the right way to do so was to put the entire bottle inside the burger. While that robot won’t be working as a line cook soon, it is representative of a bigger breakthrough announced by Google engineers Tuesday. Using recently developed artifi cial-intelligence software known as “large language models,” the researchers say they’ve been able to design robots that can help humans with a broader range of everyday tasks. Instead of provid ing a laundry list of instructions – directing each of the robot’s movements one by one – the robots can now respond to complete requests, more like a human. In one demonstration last week, a researcher told a robot: “I’m hungry. Can you get me a snack?” The robot then pro ceeded to search through a cafeteria, open a drawer, find a bag of chips and bring it to the researcher.It’sthe first time language models have been integrated into robots, Google executives and researchers say. “This is very fundamentally a different paradigm,” said Brian Ichter, a research scientist at Google and one of the authors of a paper released Tuesday describing the progress the company has made. Robots are already com monplace. Millions of them work in factories around the world, but they follow specific instructions and usually focus only on one or two tasks, such as moving a product down the assembly line or welding two pieces of metal together. The race to build a robot that can do a range of everyday tasks – and learn on the job – is much more complex. Technology compa nies big and small have labored to build such general-purpose robots for Languageyears.models work by taking huge amounts of text uploaded to the internet and using it to train AI software to guess what kinds of responses might come after certain ques tions or comments. The models have become so good at pre dicting the right response that engaging with one often feels like having a conversation with a knowledgeable human. Google and other companies, includ ing OpenAI and Microsoft, have poured resources into building better models and training them on ever-bigger sets of text, in multiple languages. The work is controversial. In July, Google fired one of its employees who had claimed he believed the software was sen tient. The consensus among AI experts is that the models are not sentient, but many are con cerned that they exhibit biases because they’ve been trained with huge amounts of unfiltered, human-generated text. Some language models have shown themselves to be racist or sexist, or easily manipulated into spouting hate speech or lies when prompted with the right statements or questions. In general, language models could give robots knowledge of high-level planning steps, said Carnegie Mellon assistant pro fessor Deepak Pathak, who studies AI and robotics and was commenting on the field, not specifically Google. But those models won’t give robots all the information they need – for example, how much force to apply when opening a refrigera tor. That knowledge has to come from somewhere else.

Google training its robots to be more like humans

ABOVE: A robot plays ping-pong with an engineer at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, Aug. 11.

“It solves only the high-level planning issue,” he said. Still, Google is forging ahead and has now melded the lan guage models with some of its robots. Now, instead of having to encode specific technical instructions for each task a robot can do, researchers can simply talk to them in every day language. More important, the new software helps the robots parse complex multistep instructions on their own. Now, the robots can interpret instruc tions they’ve never heard before and come up with responses and actions that make sense. Robots that can use lan guage models could change how manufacturing and distribu tion facilities are run, said Zac Stewart Rogers, a supply chain management assistant profes sor at Colorado State University.

If robots were able to figure out complex tasks, it could mean that distribution centers could be smaller, with fewer humans and more robots. That could mean fewer jobs for people, though Rogers points out that generally when there is a con traction due to automation in one area, jobs are created in otherIt’sareas.alsoprobably still a long way away. AI techniques such as neural networks and rein forcement learning have been used to train robots for years. It’s led to some breakthroughs, but progress is still slow. Google’s robots are nowhere near ready for the real world, and in interviews, Google’s researchers and executives said repeatedly they are simply running a research lab and do not have plans to commercialize the technology yet. But it’s clear Google and other Big Tech companies have a serious interest in robotics. Amazon uses many robots in its warehouses, is experimenting with drone delivery and earlier this month agreed to buy the maker of the Roomba vacuum cleaner robot for $1.7 billion. (Amazon founder Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post). Tesla, which has developed some autonomous driving fea tures for its cars, is also working on general-purpose robots. In 2013, Google went on a spending spree, buying several robotics companies, including Boston Dynamics, the maker of the robot dogs that often go viral on social media. But the exec utive in charge of the program was accused of sexual mis conduct and left the company soon after. In 2017, Google sold Boston Dynamics to Japa nese telecommunications and tech investment giant Softbank. The hype around ever-smarter robots designed by the most powerful tech companies faded. In the language model project, Google researchers worked alongside those from Everyday Robots, a separate but wholly owned company inside Google that works specifi cally on building robots that can do a range of “repetitive” and “drudgerous” tasks. The robots are already at work in various Google cafeterias, wiping down counters and throwing out trash.

Seven Kingdoms. We meet the king when he has to make the worst decision of his reign: His pregnant Queen Aemma (Sian Brooke) is in distressed labor and he must choose between the life of his wife or his (hoped-for male) child. It’s here that we see the promise of the next nine epi sodes in the skills of showrunners Miguel Sapochnik and Ryan J. Condal, the strength of the writing and the impact of the perfor mances. The queen’s grueling delivery is contrasted against scenes of a celebratory jousting tournament taking place outside, pitting the violent act of giving life against the violent actions of men who take it away. The poignancy of these simultaneous battles is presaged by a con versation the queen has with her daugh ter when the girl shows concern about her mother’s swollen belly: This is how we serve the realm as royal women, the queen explains. Child birth is our battlefield. The exchange between mother and daughter, and the artful contrast of dueling knights and dutiful midwives, are powerful enough on their own to render the first episode a smash ing success and show that “House of the Dragon” has a depth of understanding of its female characters that “GoT” took years to find. But it doesn’t stop there: In a moment that reflects some of the ugly realities of our own world, it is men who ultimately decide the queen’s fate –choosing the baby’s life over hers.

This fresh chapter in the saga of the Seven Kingdoms is reverseengineered to feed into narratives and family trees that are familiar to “GoT” devotees.

Guarded praise Guards Aaron Banks and Spencer Burford were the only projected Week 1 start ers to face the Vikings’ defense, and they did so with mixed results. “Both of them made some mistakes and then it was nice to see them both come back and rebound there in the second quarter,” Shanahan said. Another young guard who’s been a nice watch: undrafted rookie Jason Poe. “Every time he gets out there and has his opportu nities he makes some good plays. The plays that stick out to me is how physi cal he is on the edge when he is pulling and things like that,” Shanahan said. “I think that sticks out to the normal fan, but he’s a competitive guy who goes hard every single play. He’s been doing that since he’s gotten here. And he’s given himself a chance to be in this discussion here at the end.”

Brady eventu ally signed with Tampa Bay and led the Buc caneers to a Super Bowl championship in his first season with his new team. He tossed two touchdown passes to Gronkowski in the title game. “ Las Vegas would have had Brady and Gronk the year that the Bucs won the Super Bowl,” White said, “except Gruden blew the deal up. There’s so much story that goes along with this behind the scenes. I was never going to tell that story until Gronk just said it.” With Carr at the helm, the Raiders went 8-8 and missed the play offs in Gruden2020. was forced to resign during the 2021 season when racist anemailsbecamepublicduringNFLinvestigation.

“Hands up high. Go!” It’s go time in West wood, thanks to maybe the greatest Bruins line backer of them all. He has returned to recapture blue-and-gold grandeur, a 55-year-old with a hitch in his stride putting a spring in the step of players roughly one-third his age. “I just want to do my part,” he told The Los Angeles Times later on the same practice field, “in helping us regain thatSinceglory.”the onetime AllAmerican left UCLA for the NFL more than three decades ago, Norton hasn’t watched the Bruins closely. He hasn’t missed much. UCLA has been back to the Rose Bowl only twice, in 1994 and 1999, losing bothMeanwhile,times. Norton continued to thrive. A three-time Pro Bowl selection, he became the first player to win three consecutive Super Bowls, two coming with the Dallas Cowboys and one with the San Fran cisco 49ers. As a coach, he was part of USC’s national championship in the 2004 season and another Super Bowl title with the Seattle Seahawks in the 2013 season, successes that came under long time UCLA nemesis PeteAlongCarroll.the way, Norton never ceased an internal eight-clap.“Everywhere I’ve gone on my journey,” Norton said, “UCLA has always been in mySomeheart.”shudder at the thought Norton could have remained a Bruin this whole time. He made strong overtures about joining the UCLA staff upon Karl Dor rell’s hiring before the 2003 season, but a misunderstanding led to Norton becoming a Trojan. Dorrell said at the time that his only opening was for a fulltime position and he wasn’t sure whether Norton just wanted to dabble in the profession, his first job coming as an assistant at Los Angeles Hamilton High. By the time Dorrell dangled a graduate assis tant job, Norton had already taken the same post across town. Maybe it was just as well, Norton said this week. call overturned by replay review, after the Giants challenged that Evan Longoria applied a tag on to Sam Hilliard at third on the receiving end of a throw from LaMonte Wade Jr. in right-field, ultimately finishing the back-and-forth marathon with a double play. Longoria’s grand slam broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh inning and gave the Giants their third –and loudest –hit with runners in scoring position on Sunday. It was also his third knock of the game, finishing a triple away from the cycle and making a barehanded snag at third base that turned a sure fire hit into the first out of the bottom of the ninth. As Longoria waited to step into the bat ter’s box in the top of the seventh, Rockies manager Bud Black had a lengthy conversation on the mound with starter Kyle Freeland the rest of the Colorado infield. Freeland was at 99 pitches and had allowed a single to Yas trzemski, a double to Austin Slater and issued a walk to J.D. Davis. Two Rockies right-hand ers were warming up in the bullpen, but Black opted to let Freeland faceMomentsLongoria.later, Free land doubled over on the mound in despair as Longoria’s tie-breaking grand slam flew over the left field Enteringwall.

Quarterback review Without Lance playing, the 49ers deployed Nate Sudfeld and Brock Purdy in a quar terback rotation. Shanahan’s review of each wasOnpositive.Sudfeld: “Nate’s done a good job, so I don’t think (conservative passes) have been the case at all. . . . You want him to make the right play that you call, depending on the coverage that they see and based off of how the pass rush is, based off of people beating man cover age and based off getting the ball to the right spot with the timing of the play. So I thought Nate has had a good camp, just like all the other quarterbacks no one’s perfect, but trying to do it on every play.” On Purdy, drafted last at No. 262 after four years at Iowa State: “Brock was a four-year starter in the Big Ten and I think that doesn’t get talked about enough, how much expe rience that is for someone. For him to have that many games under his belt, that’s a lot of football and I know it’s college foot ball, but that’s still a lot of pressure from a freshman all the way to his senior year. So Brock has played a lot of quarterback and he’s come here and hasn’t let the big lights or being around NFL players change that. He’s been kind of the same guy that you’ve seen on tape and that’s allowed him to have a chance to get better.”
