Oakland loses contract dispute with developer in latest battle over coal

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 03:28:01 GMT

OAKLAND — The developer fighting for years to transport coal through Oakland is on the way to another legal victory that could thwart efforts by the city’s leaders to prevent the pollutive substance from being stored at the harbor.In a tentative ruling, an Alameda County court judge found that the city breached its contract with developer Phil Tagami by not granting him an extension amid delays in the planned construction of a large marine terminal at the city’s port.The Oct. 27 decision, while not yet final, could pave the way for Tagami to store large amounts of coal at the planned 34-acre terminal before shipping it overseas, despite criticism from environmental advocates that the substance could further pollute West Oakland.Attorneys for Tagami’s firm, Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal LLC (or OBOT), successfully argued that the delays were the result of unforeseen events — namely, the city’s own efforts to stall the project.“OBOT prov...

Pac-12 power ratings: Oregon’s on top, Utah slips and USC staggers through another week

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 03:28:01 GMT

Even for USC, the noise is next level these days.The Trojans have two losses but are being treated like they have six.Fans and talking heads alike are wondering whether defensive coordinator Alex Grinch is about to get fired, quarterback Caleb Williams is ready to shut it down for the season and coach Lincoln Riley is seeking salvation in the NFL.Did we mention USC has only two losses?The issue isn’t with performance. The 24th-ranked Trojans (6-2) are exactly who we thought they would be: Dynamic on offense, wobbly on defense and at the whim of the breaks and bounces.Which brings us to the theme of this column: The breaks and bounces.For all the fingers pointed at Grinch and Riley and the offensive line, the Hotline believes a critical piece has been overlooked.What if we told you the Trojans are actually better than last year in perhaps the most important efficiency metrics?— Last season, USC’s offense averaged 7.2 yards-per-play. This season, the Trojans are humm...

Huge San Jose housing development is eyed at ex-Fry’s Electronics site

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 03:28:01 GMT

SAN JOSE — A huge housing development with several hundred residences could be built on the site that once housed the Fry’s Electronics headquarters and one of the failed retailer’s most iconic stores, city documents show.The potential residential project also suggests that the site’s owners have ditched their plans for a vast tech campus totaling millions of square feet on the property.The tech industry’s move to significantly scale back its appetite for new plans for office space in the Bay Area, including Silicon Valley, has made speculative office projects a much less feasible proposition.Bay West Development, which had proposed an office campus with up to 2 million square feet of office space on the Fry’s site at 550 East Brokaw Road, is now instead pushing forward with a proposal to build residences, including multifamily apartments.All told, at least 500 residential units — and possibly more than 1,000 housing units — might be b...

No more attending classes: These community colleges let students learn at their own pace

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 03:28:01 GMT

Elaine S. Povich | Stateline.org (TNS)Jaqueline Yalda, who has been a campus police officer at El Paso Community College in Texas for a decade, sought a promotion earlier this year. But first, the department required her to complete a college-level course in criminal justice.It had been many years since Yalda had taken any college classes. And at age 38, she felt a little intimidated.But, a few weeks later, Yalda had earned an ‘A’ in Introduction to Criminal Justice and was promoted to sergeant. Now, she’s eyeing moving up to lieutenant, which will require finishing her full associate degree.Her secret? Taking the course at El Paso Community College through a “competency-based education” program, which let her move through an online course at her own pace. She finished in four weeks, faster than the eight allowed, and said professors responded quickly online when she had questions.“This was my first time taking a CBE course,” Yalda said in a phone interview from the police headquart...

In California, students with unstable home environments most likely to be sent home from school, new study shows

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 03:28:01 GMT

Across California, the two groups of children living in more tenuous home environments — foster youth and those experiencing homelessness — are also the most likely to be sent home through punitive, out-of-school suspensions, new research shows.That’s according to the UCLA Civil Rights Project and the Oakland-based National Center for Youth Law, which published a report Monday examining suspension data throughout the state. In 2021-22, the report found that California educators punished foster youth with out-of-school suspensions at the highest rate: for every 100 foster students, 77 days of instruction were lost due to out-of-school suspensions, compared to an average of just 10 days for all students.Homeless students were the second most likely to be suspended, with 26 days lost per 100 students. And despite the high figures, those numbers actually represent a slight drop from before the pandemic. In 2018-19, the year before COVID-19 drove students from the classroom, ...
