Daylight saving time: Does California want to end it?

The end of daylight saving time is fast approaching, and for some across the country, there’s hope that this will be the last time we change the clocks.  Whatever side of the “lock the clock” argument you stand on, we have some unfortunate news for you: November 3 is most likely not the last time you’ll have to adjust your clock by an hour.  State and federal lawmakers have tried to put a permanent end to daylight saving time but with little progress (except for the times that we did, briefly, stop observing daylight saving time, only to return to it relatively quickly). Twice a year, there are calls to end the practice and put the U.S. on either permanent daylight saving time or permanent standard time. Mother of Southern California teen says her son was beaten by another student and his father Nearly every state has brought forth and even passed legislation or resolutions to end the bi-annual clock changes. In most cases, the states are hoping to stay on daylight saving time year-round, which means “springing forward” in March and not “falling back”

Q&A with Coleen Cusack, candidate for San Diego City Council

Coleen Cusack, an attorney and homeless advocate, is challenging San Diego City Councilmember Stephen Whitburn for his District 3 seat representing neighborhoods downtown and around Balboa Park. To help inform voters, the San Diego Union-Tribune asked all the candidates a series of the same questions about their priorities, positions and campaigns. Their emailed answers have been lightly edited for clarity. Coleen Cusack, candidate for San Diego City Council District 3 (Handout) Why are you running, and what makes you the best candidate? I am running because as a long-time resident I am frustrated with what the city is doing and not doing to address the housing and homelessness crises. For the past 29 months, more people have become homeless for the first time than have been housed. I will apply pragmatic responses to the housing and homelessness crisis that address the urgency and scale, are fiscally responsible and respect human rights and human dignity. For three decades as an attorney, I have challenged the city, and as an educator, I value evidence-based practices, reliance on data and science, the preservation of our history and the

San Diego rejects local impresario’s $10M offer to buy 101 Ash, convert it to homeless housing

San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria and other city officials rejected an offer to sell the troubled 101 Ash St. building for $10 million to a local businessman who planned to spend tens of millions more to transform the property into 800 units for homeless people. The project, one of three that officials had under consideration for the long-vacant former Sempra Energy headquarters, would have opened by early 2026, according to project bidder Leonard Bloom. He said it also would have relieved the city of millions of dollars a year in maintenance and security costs as well as future liabilities related to the asbestos-ridden office tower. But after months of negotiations with the mayor’s office and a closed-session discussion with the City Council, the supportive housing project that Bloom called Homelessness No More was passed over for two competing plans for rent-restricted housing. “I approached the mayor seven months ago, but he won’t put the project out there,” said Bloom, a longtime sports mogul, developer and entrepreneur. “He tells the public that his first priority is the homeless, but that is not true.” The project’s demise came

Preserving the stories of the Israel-Gaza conflict through art

By Seth Doane October 6, 2024 / 10:11 AM EDT / CBS News Preserving stories of the Israel-Gaza conflict through art Preserving stories of the Israel-Gaza conflict through art 08:03 As head of collections at the National Library of Israel, Raquel Ukeles’ job took on a new focus, and an emotional turn, after Hamas’ massacre last year. “Our idea is to capture all the different angles and perspectives, both of what happened on that terrible day, October 7th, and during this period,” she said. Among the millions of items being saved is artwork, including a spiral of text messages from the morning of the attack. Ukeles choked up reading it: “It’s very urgent: My children are alone in the house of Dvir. It’s tough to read.” How does art fit in? “Art is a way that human beings try to make sense of reality,” Ukeles said. Artwork collected by the National Library of Israel conjures the red anemone flower that typically blooms in Southern Israel, where the October 7th Hamas terror attack took place.  CBS News Other items being preserved: ribbons and memorabilia, posters, prayers
