Tension that remained following Draymond Green’s punch of Jordan Poole was, at least, part of the reason for Poole’s trade to the Washington Wizards for Chris Paul. Green appeared to rekindle some of those tension in a social media back-and-forth with Poole’s father on Wednesday morning.In a clip posted from an appearance on NBA player Patrick Beverley’s podcast, Green alluded to some of the backstory behind him punching Poole in a pre-season practice last October.“I don’t just hit people,” he said. “Dialogue happens over time. You ain’t just triggered by something that fast to that degree. This is a team, ain’t nobody on my team triggering me in an instant. We know stuff that you don’t say amongst men. We know things you have to stand on.”Anthony Poole, Jordan’s father, replied to the Tweet with the clip rebutting Green’s statement.“I’m stand on this that’s is some (expletive),” he Tweet...

Was the Bay Area’s Jean Tatlock Oppenheimer’s ‘truest love’ or the first casualty of his ambition to build the atomic bomb?

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 05:00:58 GMT

When the blockbuster movie “Oppenheimer” opens July 21, Bay Area audiences will be introduced to Jean Tatlock, one of the most remarkable people to know and love the UC Berkeley physicist, famous as “The Father of the Atomic Bomb.”The thumbnail version of Tatlock’s life is that she was J. Robert Oppenheimer’s troubled mistress. She also may have been his “truest love,” but her activism in the Bay Area Communist Party in the 1930s threatened his career, both when he was the science director at the top-secret laboratory in Los Alamos, and in the 1950s, when anti-Communist fervor was at its heights and he endured a humiliating grilling by the Atomic Energy Commission and loss of his security clearance.Tatlock, a Stanford-trained psychiatrist, died tragically by suicide at the age of 29 – some seven months after Oppenheimer drew the alarm of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover by flying back to San Francisco in June 1943 to meet her and spend one final night with her in her Telegra...

They could mean the difference between buying your own private island vs. crying softly at your desk while your coworkers are on their islands.Do:Designate a leader. And make sure he or she is highly organized. Because this isn’t just about collecting money and buying tickets. The organizer will also have to:Give everyone copies or photos of pool tickets.

Vingegaard takes huge lead at Tour de France after dropping Pogacar in final big test in the Alps

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 05:00:58 GMT

COURCHEVEL, France (AP) — Jonas Vingegaard is on course to bring the yellow jersey to Paris for a second straight year after the Danish rider took a huge lead over his main rival in cycling’s biggest race.The defending champion dropped Tadej Pogacar on Wednesday in the last big stage in the Alps to increase his overall lead to seven minutes and 35 seconds. Barring any big crash, he looks set to win his second Tour title.Vingegaard finished the 17th stage in fourth place, almost six minutes before an exhausted Pogacar crossed the finish line. The race ends in the French capital with a largely ceremonial stage on Sunday. There is just one tough stage remaining before then — on Saturday in the Alsace region, with the peloton facing a total of 3,600 meters of climbing.But with such a big gap between the Tour’s main contenders, it’s unlikely to have an impact in the fight for the yellow jersey.Pogacar, a two-time champion who was dethroned by Vingegaard last year, lost ...

How to pay for an expensive summer move

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 05:00:58 GMT

Packing your things and moving to a new home is a financial hurdle even in the best of times, but higher demand for moving-related services in the summer can send prices skyrocketing.If you’re wondering how to pay for an upcoming move, there are financing options, including credit cards and unsecured personal loans.
