Biden to unveil $3 billion investment in U.S. ports in Baltimore

President Biden set to visit Baltimore Tuesday with a big announcement President Biden set to visit Baltimore Tuesday with a big announcement 01:32 President Joe Biden is set to announce a $3 billion investment to upgrade ports across the U.S. during a Tuesday stop at the Port of Baltimore. The investment from his Inflation Reduction Act includes $147 million in grants for the Port of Baltimore to decarbonize its cargo handling operations, the White House said in a statement.  The president also planned to express support for longshore union members concerned about automation taking away their jobs, a key issue in a three-day strike at East and Gulf Coast ports earlier this month.  “This funding will protect and create good-paying and union jobs and better working conditions by upgrading port operations and infrastructure to cleaner equipment, while ensuring cleaner air for port workers and nearby communities,” the White House said in a news release. The federal funds will help purchase “battery-electric and hydrogen-powered human-operated and human-maintained equipment,” according to the Biden administration. U.S. ports are the “lynchpin of our nation’s supply chains,” and employ 100,000

Baby girl found dead in “safe haven” box at Idaho hospital

October 29, 2024 / 9:54 AM EDT / CBS/AP 1st newborn surrendered to Florida Safe Haven Baby Box 1st newborn surrendered to Florida Safe Haven Baby Box 01:59 Police are investigating after the body of a baby girl was found at a southeastern Idaho hospital in a “safe haven” box meant for people to anonymously give up a newborn, officials said Monday. Police officers in Blackfoot, Idaho, about 250 miles east of Boise, responded on Oct. 13 to a report of a deceased infant left in the Safe Haven Baby Box at Grove Creek Medical Center, CBS affiliate KBOI-TV reported. Monica Kelsey, the founder of Safe Haven Baby Boxes, said in a social media post Monday that hospital staff responded within one minute to an alarm indicating a baby was in the box, which was installed earlier this year. The staff quickly realized that the infant had died before being placed inside. “We are heartbroken,” Kelsey said. “Anonymity is only allowed when an infant is safely surrendered completely unharmed.” Idaho law only allows for the surrender of an infant who is unharmed and healthy.

Targeting 49ers’ top 5 positions of need ahead of NFL’s trade deadline

SANTA CLARA – It’s the 49ers’ bye week. And it’s their buy week. With the NFL’s trade deadline looming next Tuesday, the 49ers (4-4) must evaluate whether to swing a deal, as has been their prerogative in recent seasons’ playoff pushes. Reinforcements could come off their injury lists, such as running back Christian McCaffrey, and perhaps a veteran or two is added via trade before the 49ers’ next game, Nov. 10 in Tampa Bay. “If there’s anything out there that’s available that we think can help our team get better in the immediate, without hurting us for the future, that’s something we always look into,” coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday. Sunday night’s harrowing 30-24 win over the Dallas Cowboys evened the 49ers’ record to match those of the Arizona Cardinals and the Seattle Seahawks atop the NFC West. McCaffrey arrived two years ago from Carolina in a steal of a deal. Last year, the 49ers scoured the market to bring in defensive ends Chase Young and Randy Gregory. In 2019, their Super Bowl drive was enhanced by the addition of wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders. So

Fall recipes: A pumpkin pot roast to keep vegetarians happy this fall

At this time of year, we seem to accumulate pumpkins in our household like voter pamphlets —we’re not exactly sure where they’re all coming from, or if we’ll ever have time to get through them all and, in the meantime, they’re just haphazardly scattered across our front stoop, kitchen counter and dining room table. Well, this recipe resulted in one less pumpkin on my counter — and a dozen voter pamphlets read during the inactive roasting time — leaving me with a slightly clearer counter and a warm, happy belly. Here, the traditional red wine and herbs associated with beef pot roast are used instead with fresh pumpkin and mushrooms to create a rich, earthy sauce that begs to be spooned over rice or biscuits. Be sure to use fresh pumpkin, as pureed canned pumpkin will not do. You could substitute other winter squash — butternut, acorn or Hokkaido squash — for the sugar pie pumpkin. As with traditional pot roast, this can be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve. It keeps for about a week in the refrigerator. And the savory

House District 14 candidates Swalwell, Kruttiventi walk a fine line on immigration issues

Moderation is key — especially for California District 14 candidates Eric Swalwell and Vin Kruttiventi, who will try to seize on the district’s sizable immigrant vote without alienating partisans in their respective parties. As immigration has become a defining issue of the 2024 election, California’s 14th congressional district stands out as a hub for foreign-born citizens working in the tech industry – nearly 2 in 5 residents are immigrants – while both candidates call for stiffer reforms to quell immigration from across the southern border. “We can have security and address the workforce crisis in America,” Rep. Swalwell, the Democratic incumbent, said in an email. “Only one party is interested in that. Democrats.” Swalwell is running for a seventh consecutive term in the House of Representatives, where he’s served on the Homeland Security Committee and the Judiciary Committee, key assignments that give him direct oversight on immigration issues. He embraced the role of heel to the Trump administration’s most restrictive policies, but record levels of illegal migration have forced him to toe the line between hawk and dove. Kruttiventi, the Republican challenger, is a naturalized

Oakland City Council incumbents try to fend off challengers in crowded November election

Change is the central theme of the upcoming November election in Oakland, with three City Council seats open, a race to succeed the retiring City Attorney and a recall of Mayor Sheng Thao sparking a battle over the city’s political fate. In the midst of that, two council members want to prove they’ve done enough to warrant fresh four-year terms in office. Carroll Fife, who represents District 3, and Noel Gallo, the council member in District 5, oversaw Oakland’s policies and finances across numerous crises, including a spike in crime during the pandemic and an ongoing budget deficit. They’ll look to convince voters that the city is headed on the right track. Vying to replace Fife are Warren Logan, a government affairs consultant who served under Mayor Libby Schaaf; Shan Hirsch, a longtime West Oakland resident; Baba Afolabi, an entrepreneur; Meron Semedar, who owns a garment business; and Michelle Hailey, a community housing assistant. In line to contest Gallo are Dominic Prado, who owns the temporarily closed eatery Tacos El Ultimo Baile on 12th Street, and Erin Armstrong, the senior policy advisor to Alameda County

Antioch PD prepares agreement to stem gun violence

ANTIOCH — Amid a recent surge of gun violence in the Sycamore corridor, the Antioch Police Department is working on multiple initiatives to beef up security and reduce crime in the city. Earlier this month, the Antioch City Council earmarked $500,000 in funding to help the city’s police department not only better respond to hot-spot areas, but also fill in gaps in the department caused by a racist text scandal and allegations of widespread misconduct. The increase in funding will allow for additional patrolling by utilizing outside law enforcement agencies. Interim Antioch Police Chief Brian Addington said his department is in talks with its lawyers and insurance risk carriers to carve out a service agreement. Addington said this service agreement will be used as a model in utilizing the funding initiative approved by the City Council. “Hopefully, this (agreement) will be signed off in the next two to three weeks,” Addington told this news organization. “The reality is, getting law enforcement officers to come into a city takes a little bit of time to do, but we’re making it happen as quickly as we can.”

Baby No. 3 on the way for model Gisele Bündchen, her first child with Joaquim Valente

Supermodel Gisele Bündchen is reportedly pregnant with her third child, her first with boyfriend Joaquim Valente. Bündchen, who is 44, has been dating Valente, 37, who was her family’s jiu-jitsu instructor, since June 2023. She shares two other children, 14 and 11, with ex-husband Tom Brady. The baby announcement was reported by People. Representatives for Bündchen did not respond immediately to The Times’ request for comment. The Brazilian-born model was noticeably missing from a star-studded 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show featuring previous angels, including Tyra Banks and Gigi Hadid. “Angels” was the term for the brand’s spokesmodels, who also sported wings in the show, which returned Oct. 15 after a six-year hiatus. Bündchen hung up her wings in 2006 after seven years and was one of the top-earning models in 2022, according to Forbes. The same year, she told Elle she had “zero desire” to return to the runway, preferring photo shoots instead. Brady, who retired in 2023 after 23 seasons as a quarterback in the NFL, and Bündchen divorced in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. The couple share joint custody of their

‘I thought it was a bird’: Man finds mountain lion perched in backyard of Los Angeles County home

A Stevenson Ranch man was in the backyard of his home in the Santa Clarita Valley when he spotted a mountain lion looking down from a tree Monday. Chris was outside checking on his dogs when he heard a sound coming from above. “I thought it was a bird and I looked up into the tree and I saw a mountain lion,” he said. A Stevenson Ranch man spotted this mountain lion in the backyard of his home on Oct. 28, 2024. (Viewer image) After taking a second look to be sure it was a mountain lion, Chris said he took the dogs inside before going back to take some pictures. “We’ve had other cats. We’ve had bobcats, we have tons of coyotes out here but never a mountain lion,” he said. As he was out there, the big cat jumped out of the tree and ran up a nearby hill to leave the property. Chris said the incident made him apprehensive about going into his backyard “but we’re in their neighborhood.” He estimated the mountain lion weighed well over 200 pounds.

Exclusive: Watch the trailer for Netflix’s new series about F1 legend Ayrton Senna

Five years after launching its popular Formula One docuseries “Drive to Survive,” Netflix has dipped into the history of auto racing’s most prestigious championship for its first scripted project about the sport, based on the life of one of its all-time greats: Ayrton Senna. “Senna,” premiering on Nov. 29, follows the dashing Brazilian from his karting days in São Paulo to his tragic death, at 34, in a crash during the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. As teased in the exclusive trailer below, the six-part miniseries, starring Gabriel Leone (“Ferrari”) as Senna, focuses much of its attention on the unforgettable thrills of Senna’s 10 years in F1, including his bitter rivalry with McLaren teammate Alain Prost, his legendary skill at racing in the rain and his three World Drivers’ Championships. In addition to a helping of wheel-to-wheel racing that will satisfy even serious gearheads, the series, from showrunner Vicente Amorim, also introduces us to Senna’s supportive parents, Miltão (Marco Ricca) and Zaza (Susana Ribeiro); his glamorous pop star girlfriend, Xuxa (Pâmela Tomé); and Laura Harrison (Kaya Scodelario), a fictional reporter who becomes one of the

Defense leads Dodgers to World Series Game 3 win

There’s an old saying: defense wins championships. If that’s the case, the gold glove-caliber defense of the Dodgers has the squad one game closer to clinching its first World Series since 2020 after taking Game 3 against the New York Yankees, 4-2.  Walker Buehler stood on business, setting the tone as he once again showed why he’s considered to be a big game pitcher tossing five scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and striking out five. The Dodgers pitching staff combined to hold the Yankees scoreless for 8 2/3 innings.  But it was the defense behind them that was so key. Look no further than the fourth inning Monday for the biggest plays of the night.  Mookie Betts catches the ball for an out against the New York Yankees during Game Three of the 2024 World Series at Yankee Stadium on October 28, 2024.
