Helpful reminders on the postseason selection process before we plunge into the latest Pac-12 bowl forecast:— The Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl will host the College Football Playoff semifinals, leaving the Pac-12 champion to participate in the Fiesta, Peach or Cotton bowls unless it qualifies for the CFP.— The Pac-12 is contractually tied to seven games this season: the New Year’s Six, Alamo, Las Vegas, Holiday, Sun, LA and Independence bowls. If there are more eligible teams than available spots, the conference will attempt to secure invitations to other bowls with vacancies.We are one week from the release of the first College Football Playoff rankings.

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 15:17:46 GMT
Wandering an apple orchard and biting into just-picked orbs of juicy sweetness makes for a memorable autumn adventure. But if you don’t have time for that, pouring a glass of just-pressed apple cider summons fall flavors, too, and that seasonal favorite is stacked on store shelves at this time of year.Sweet cider — not to be confused with alcoholic hard cider or apple juice made from concentrate — is not only a tangy, fruity treat in a glass, it’s the key ingredient in hot spiced cider, doughnuts, syrups, jelly and other treats.Before you grab that jug of apple cider, though, it pays to understand what cider is — or should be. Apple cider (and some apple juice) is made from pressed, smashed, pureed or otherwise pulverized apples, nothing more. Cider is typically light brown in color, always cloudy due to apple pectin, and comes in both refrigerated and shelf-stable versions. By contrast, apple juice is typically fully filtered, often made from apple concentrate and...Former Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis pleads guilty in Georgia case

By Marshall Cohen | CNNWashington — Former Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis has pleaded guilty in the Georgia election subversion case to one count of aiding and abetting false statements in writing and will cooperate with Fulton County prosecutors.Prosecutors are recommending five years of probation and to pay $5,000 in restitution. Ellis, who has an active online presence, is also banned from posting anything on social media about the case while the proceedings are unfolding against any of the defendants, prosecutors said.The development comes after back-to-back guilty pleas last week in the sprawling case from former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, who helped devise the fake electors plot.This story is breaking and will be updated.The-CNN-Wire & © 2023 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 15:17:46 GMT
In a move with potentially serious implications for the recall campaign targeting District Attorney Pamela Price, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors will consider on Tuesday a measure that could overhaul how the county conducts such elections.According to a presentation prepared for the board by the lawyer, the county charter’s current rules include unconstitutional provisions, missing procedures, and unfeasible election laws.“In order to provide the public and the Registrar of Voters with clear and achievable standards for conducting a recall, it is recommended that your Board adopt an ordinance to amend the Charter,” reads the report signed by County Counsel Donna Ziegler.Related ArticlesElection | Group seeking to recall Alameda DA Pamela Price can now collect signatures According to Ziegler’s report, the move is necessary to align the county’s laws with the state’s and eliminate “decades old procedures” that are “a detriment to ensuring lawful, c...Woman claims her water at Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay hotel ‘defiled’ by ‘criminal deviant’ worker

A guest at the high-end Ritz-Carlton hotel in Half Moon Bay claims in a lawsuit that a worker brought her a water bottle containing semen, and that testing confirmed the contamination.The Washington woman, identified as “Jane Doe,” was celebrating her birthday last November with a four-night stay at the oceanside hotel where rooms start at around $800 per night, according to the lawsuit she filed with her husband of 25 years, identified as “John Doe.”“The couple intended to celebrate her special day at a special place,” the lawsuit filed this month in Oakland U.S. District Court said.After the couple returned to their room following a Friday night dinner, Jane called the front desk to ask for bottled water, according to the lawsuit.A male worker “moments later” brought several bottles bearing the Ritz-Carlton logo, and Jane put them on her nightstand and went to bed, the lawsuit said.She awoke thirsty in the night, grabbed a bottle, ...San Jose Sharks president believes changes to NHL’s Pride tape ban are forthcoming

SAN JOSE – The president of the San Jose Sharks believes the NHL’s ban on players displaying “cause messaging” on their equipment, including the use of Pride-themed tape on their sticks, will undergo some adjustments, possibly this season.An NHL memo earlier this month informing clubs what players could no longer do on theme nights, including using the rainbow-colored stick tape – often used during LGBTQ+ Pride celebrations in pregame warmups — was met with both confusion and derision, with some feeling the league was backtracking on its long-running “Hockey is for Everyone” campaign.“Make no mistake,” former NHL executive Brian Burke wrote on social media earlier this month, “this is a surprising and serious setback.”Previously, NHL players had the option of putting specialized tape, including lavender tape on Hockey Fights Cancer nights, or camouflage tape on Military Appreciation Nights, on their sticks before the league established its current guidelines.Perhaps, though, t...Apple Maps app is giving drivers dangerous wrong-way directions; how can it be fixed? Roadshow
Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 15:17:46 GMT
Q: There is a dangerous and incorrect instruction on the iPhone Maps app. I don’t know how to contact them. If one wishes to enter Highway 101 north from Bailey Avenue just south of San Jose, coming from the west, the app tells you to turn right at the stop sign, just after crossing over the freeway.If one does exactly what it says, you would turn into the exit from northbound 101 going in the wrong direction. The on-ramp to 101 north is about 25 feet before the stop sign, not at the stop sign.There is little lighting at night. If a driver is unfamiliar with the area and following app instructions explicitly, they would end up going south on the northbound side of the freeway.I read your column regularly and appreciate your common-sense approach. Thanks for your great advice and counsel.Gela RussellA: I bring this to you, Roadshow readers, to advise how Gela can get these Apple map app instructions corrected. I searched Apple’s website and tried a few phone calls but each call...Franklin Electric: Q3 Earnings Snapshot
