By Joseph Krauss and Wafaa Shurafa | Associated PressJERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a leading opposition figure on Wednesday created a war-time Cabinet overseeing the fight to avenge a stunning weekend attack by Hamas militants. In the sealed-off Gaza Strip ruled by Hamas, Palestinian suffering mounted as Israeli bombardment demolished neighborhoods and the territory’s only power plant ran out of fuel.The new war-time Cabinet establishes a degree of unity after years of bitterly divisive politics, and as the Israeli military appears increasingly likely to launch a ground offensive into Gaza.The Cabinet, which will focus only on issues of war, will consist of Netanyahu, Benny Gantz — a senior opposition figure and former defense minister — and current Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, a statement released by Gantz said.The government is under intense public pressure to topple Hamas after its militants stormed through a border fence Saturday and massacred...

GOP nominates Scalise to be the new House speaker

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:22:21 GMT

By Lisa Mascaro and Kevin Freking | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Republicans nominated Rep. Steve Scalise on Wednesday to be the next House speaker and will now try to unite to elect the conservative in a floor vote after ousting Rep. Kevin McCarthy from the job.In private balloting at the Capitol, House Republicans pushed aside Rep. Jim Jordan, the Judiciary Committee chairman, in favor of Scalise, the current majority leader, lawmakers said. The Louisiana lawmaker is seen as a hero to some after surviving a mass shooting on lawmakers at a congressional baseball game practice in 2017. He is now battling blood cancer.Republicans who have been stalemated after McCarthy’s historic removal last week will seek to assemble their narrow House majority around Scalise in what is certain to be a close vote of the full House. Democrats are set to oppose the Republican nominee.A floor vote of the whole House could come as soon as Wednesday afternoon.“I don’t know how the hell...

Which way does beach sand flow? Studies challenge established views on sand migration along San Diego County coast

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:22:21 GMT

Phil Diehl | The San Diego Union-TribuneA renowned oceanographer who has studied the California coast for decades says new research challenges a well-established notion about how sand flows within the surf and long-shore currents that constantly shape the state’s beaches.Studies show sand doesn’t always flow south and in some cases is carried north between the coastal communities, said Reinhard Flick, a member of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s Coastal Processes Group.“That’s a new finding, and it’s important,” Flick said. “This strongly suggests that little, if any, sand flows south from Oceanside to Carlsbad.”Carlsbad and Oceanside, like many coastal cities, are losing sand at alarming rates.The accumulating data could change how local officials approach efforts to preserve their eroding coastlines, particularly sand replenishment projects that cost tens of millions of dollars and can be wiped out by the storms of a single El Niño winter.Past studies by researchers at th...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:22:21 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Fred Warner came away from Sunday night’s clobbering of the Cowboys with a forced fumble, a sack, an interception, a 42-10 victory, and, three days later, the NFC’s Defensive Player of the Week award.“You did your job, Warner,” his wife, Sydney, said on the “The Warner House” podcast the couple is posting weekly this season after 49ers’ games.Her husband did not take his job, nor the spotlight, for granted.Warner revealed that he carried around a football all week ahead of the game — a tactic borrowed from former teammate Kwon Alexander — in hopes of creating a takeaway for the unbeaten 49ers (5-0). Sure enough, Warner forced a fumble at the end of the first quarter, and, early in the fourth quarter, he intercepted a Dak Prescott pass that cornerback Deommodore Lenoir deflected.“When you talk about just a perfect little basket of love, that ball couldn’t have floated at a softer, perfect spiral rig...

What to watch: ‘House of Usher’ brilliant, unsettling take on Edgar Allan Poe

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:22:21 GMT

Two of the most anticipated streaming series of the season — Netflix’s “The Fall of the House of Usher” and Apple TV+’s “Lessons in Chemistry” — originated from the literary world. But does that transition from page to screen work?Oh, yeah.Here’s our roundup.“The Fall of the House of Usher”: It’s risky to modernize or repurpose classic literary works and try to create something unique and visionary in the process. Even Oscar-winning filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón failed with a misguided “Great Expectations,” starring Ethan Hawke and Gwyneth Paltrow.But upscale horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan could write a textbook on how to do it right with his eight-part ode to legendary horror writer Edgar Allan Poe. This inspired “Usher” infuses Poe’s tales of terror with contemporary relevance and respects the source material.Flanagan’s macabre update of Poe’s story of familial depravity and madness serves as a table setting for an “And Then There Were None” schematic in w...
