Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:40:52 GMT

A planned wetland in far eastern Contra Costa County is not likely to affect the nearby groundwater, a new report concludes – but it remains to be seen if that will sway some neighbors who fear the project could harm their drinking water drawn from wells.The 645-acre wetland project aims to curb potential flooding and poor stormwater quality while fending off encroaching development and improving habitat for threatened wildlife such as red-legged frogs, fairy shrimp and burrowing owls. The undertaking officially called the Knightsen Wetland Restoration Project, is spearheaded by the East Contra Costa Habitat Conservancy and the East Bay Regional Parks District, which bought the land in 2016.Residents will have a chance to hear about the restoration project’s potential effects on the area’s groundwater at an online community meeting on Wednesday. To help allay some of the neighbors’ worries, the conservancy commissioned a study to evaluate the current conditions and potential ef...

Double win for Cambridge over Oxford in annual Boat Race

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:40:52 GMT

LONDON (AP) — It’s four wins out of five for Cambridge in one of England’s oldest sporting events after it powered to victory over Oxford in the men’s Boat Race on Sunday. And it was a bold move by Cambridge cox Jasper Parish on the River Thames that proved the difference in the annual contest between the two universities which started in 1829. Cambridge now leads the rivalry 86-81.Cambridge had rudder issues before the race and Oxford, with the weight advantage, pulled ahead. But Parish’s decision to steer his crew closer to the bank in Fulham, in a bid to find friendlier waters, ultimately paid off as Cambridge took a half-length’s lead.While Oxford would not let their opponents get away, it turned out to be an inspired move by Parish as Cambridge carried its advantage over the finish line.Last year Oxford had halted its rival’s run of three straight wins, but it proved to be a temporary pause of Cambridge’s recent dominance.In the women’s Boat Race, ...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:40:52 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — After being knocked out of the NCAA Tournament by a Florida Atlantic team that has defied expectation and description all season, Kansas State coach Jerome Tang described the secret to the Owls’ success under coach Dusty May.“Well, when you draw up plays with X’s and O’s, on some teams, all the O’s don’t have to be guarded so you can put your X’s in the right spot to make it hard for the team to score on offense,” Tang said. “Every one of his O’s can score the ball, and that’s what makes it hard to guard. It doesn’t matter if they can score 30; they can all shoot, they can all dribble, they can all pass, and that puts your defense in a bind.”The Owls (35-3) from Boca Raton, Florida, are heading to the Final Four for the first time in school history with Division I’s winningest team, a collection of interchangeable pieces that has been greater than the sum of the parts.“Extremely rewarding to see a group give as much as these guys have all season — shots, ...

RESEÑA | “John Wick: Chapter 4” cae en un tipo particular de inflación de secuelas

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:40:52 GMT

(CNN) — La inflación se presenta de muchas formas, incluida la sobrecarga de duración que puede afectar a las secuelas. Así, los 90 minutos de “John Wick” se convierten en 2 horas y 49 minutos en “John Wick: Chapter 4”, una epopeya que muestra el deslumbrante trabajo de acrobacias por el que es conocida la franquicia, al tiempo que lleva la acción a extremos casi agotadores.La película tiene un grado adicional de resonancia emocional, pero eso se debe a lo que ocurrió fuera de la pantalla, no en ella, con la inesperada muerte del coprotagonista Lance Reddick. Aunque Reddick tiene un papel secundario, su aparición resulta aleccionadora.Keanu Reeves rinde tributo a Lance Reddick en el estreno de “John Wick 4”Más allá de eso, la duración adicional se dedica, caritativamente, a presentar tanto caos inventivo como sea posible, con el taciturno asesino a sueldo de Keanu Reeves tratando de liberarse de sus vínculos con la oscura organización conoci...
