SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Google on Friday began removing California news websites from some people’s search results, a test that acted as a threat should the state Legislature pass a law requiring the search giant to pay media companies for linking to their content. Google announced the move in a blog post on Friday, calling it a “short-term test for a small percentage of users … to measure the impact of the legislation on our product experience.” The company said it also would pause new investments in the California news industry, including the partnership initiative with news organizations and its product licensing program. “By helping people find news stories, we help publishers of all sizes grow their audiences at no cost to them. (This bill) would up-end that model,” Jaffer Zaidi, Google’s vice president for global news partnerships, wrote in the blog post. The California Legislature is considering a bill that would require tech giants like Google, Facebook and Microsoft to pay a certain percentage of advertising revenue to media companies for linking to their content. How much the companies would have to pay would be

Monday marks the 77th anniversary of Jackie Robinson’s debut in Major League Baseball. When he took first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Robinson ended 80 years of segregation in baseball. Decades earlier, a team of Black players were making a name for themselves in the independent leagues of the Midwest. Now, nearly 100 years later, those players and their contributions to baseball are getting their just due and inspiring a new generation of players.

SYDNEY — A man stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping center Saturday before he was fatally shot, police said, with hundreds fleeing the chaotic scene, many weeping as they carried their children. Eight people, including a 9-month-old, were injured. The 40-year-old was stopped in the knifing attack at the Westfield Shopping Centre in Bondi Junction, which is in the city’s eastern suburbs, when a police inspector shot him after he turned and raised a knife, New South Wales Assistant Police Commissioner Anthony Cooke told reporters. “They just said run, run, run – someone’s been stabbed,” one witness told ABC TV in Australia. “(The attacker) was walking really calmly like he was having an ice cream in a park. And then he went up the escalators … and probably within about a minute we heard three gunshots.” Six of the victims – five women and a man – and the suspect died. Commissioner Karen Webb said the eight injured people were being treated at hospitals. The baby was in surgery, but it was too early to know the condition, she said. “We

At multiple points in the past couple weeks, the Warriors have peered through a window into the top of the play-in bracket, only for it to quickly slam shut. Steve Kerr admitted that losing in Dallas at the buzzer on April 5 “shifted things” for the Warriors. But even after that defeat, Golden State ripped off three straight wins to once again have the inside track at the eighth seed. A victory over the Pelicans on Friday night would’ve put the Warriors in pole position for the eighth seed — a coveted outcome because they’d have two chances to win one game. Instead, New Orleans hit 20 of their 38 attempts from 3-point land to darken the mood again at 1 Warriors Way. “It stings a lot,” Klay Thompson said of the loss that fractions their chances at avoiding the 9/10 play-in round. Entering the regular season finale, the new reality is much more calcified for the Warriors. To escape the lower tier play-in round, they must beat the Jazz and get help via losses from both the Lakers and Kings. That long-shot scenario —

Shout out to my husband, Mr. Standish, for agreeing to submit his parody of The Merry Mantonian last week. Judging by the amount of positive feedback, “Stand-in Standish” might become a regular feature here. Maybe with enough arm twisting (his and the editor’s), we could convince him to make it a regular thing and get his own damn space. He’s a busy guy, but maybe he could work it into his schedule. All that porn ain’t gonna watch itself, ya know. While you were giggling into your Saturday morning cuppa last week, I was in Nashville for my company’s annual conference. The delightful Bianca Bradshaw, owner of Elmore Pharmacy in Red Bluff, is one of my teammates, so we traveled and bunked together. So much fun! The conference was at the Gaylord Opryland, which is like a city within a city with gardens, restaurants and a water park. We had dinner downtown one night, and the younger folks went out honky tonkin’ afterward. I am more of a Memphis gal myself, but it was a great trip and we launched a groundbreaking new product into

CORNING — The City Council Tuesday fulfilled a request by its staff to put a measure on the November ballot that would change the city clerk and treasurer positions from elected offices to appointed jobs. When these positions were originally graded, the governing code for this was that three requirements still exist today for a person to be city clerk or city treasurer: the job seeker must be over 18, register to vote and live in the city. Since then, the government code has expanded exponentially, and there are many more obligations placed on both of those roles. City Attorney Collin Bogener said the city clerk is now responsible for being the elections official concerning federal, state, and local procedures for the city’s elections, preparing and posting notices and agendas and preparing minutes, coordinates, proclamations and resolutions. The clerk also acts as the city’s record manager. “So that is quite a bit of responsibilities that is put into that role,” Bogener stated. The city treasurer must be knowledgeable about electronic banking, municipal fund accounting, government reporting requirements, investment regulations, and debt management. “So one of

RED BLUFF — The Tehama County Board of Supervisors Tuesday will review the county’s balance, current process, and best practices that need to be implemented. According to staff, the current practice of back-end borrowing from the general fund for state-mandated programs is not best practice. Following extensive collaboration with the auditor’s office, the treasurer/tax collectors, the administration office, and debt advisor counsel have identified solutions that align better with industry best practices and serve the best interests of the county’s general fund. Staff said that due to state-mandated programs and delayed payments from the state, the county has been put in a position where the general fund has been paying adverse interest on behalf of some county departments and back-end borrowing in the last seven years. The general fund has been impacted in the amount of $918,776.

I don’t blame the public for not wanting to put the Republican Party back in power in Washington. As the GOP proved again in the House this week, it’s incapable of accomplishing anything of importance. This week, the big vote was over the reauthorization of a reformed version of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act – aka, FISA. FISA is a controversial act that permits U.S. spy agencies to gather foreign intelligence by collecting the communications of non-Americans located outside the country. It’s considered by government officials to be a crucial tool for disrupting terror attacks, cyber intrusions and foreign espionage. But, as we know, FISA was abused by Democrats, the FBI, and the CIA to spy on members of the Trump campaign, subvert his presidency, and violate the civil rights of American citizens. House Speaker Johnson pushed for passage of the reformed FISA bill. But Donald Trump said it deserved to be killed, and about 20 conservative Republican members who thought FISA’s powers should be weakened more severely joined with Democrats to block it. Everyone agrees that FISA is an important tool against terrorism, and
