OAKLAND – The Ballers’ stay at Raimondi Park became official Tuesday when the Oakland City Council unanimously approved an agreement for their use of the field. In exchange, the B’s will invest $1.6 million to upgrade the park’s facilities – including a new video scoreboard and a repaired playground – so they are suitable for professional baseball games and the crowds of thousands they may draw. “While this is about sports, it’s also not just about sports – it’s about how working together can uplift a community,” Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan said ahead of Tuesday’s vote. The approval of the Ballers’ plan comes less than a month after the A’s announced that they will play in Sacramento from 2025 to 2027 following the expiration of their lease at the end of this season, ending the team’s 57-year tenure in Oakland. With Raimondi Park, a 4,000-seat stadium that has been under construction for the last several months, now officially the Ballers’ home, the team outlined some plans for the park ahead of its home opener on June 4 and released stadium renderings Wednesday. A rendering of the

It’s a line that sticks with you, Anne Hathaway’s character in “The Idea of You” being told, only somewhat sarcastically, that people don’t like happy women. “Women who live their lives out loud, who are proud of who they are, going for whatever it is they want, whether that’s career or romance or anything — I think society tends to react negatively to that,” says the film’s director and co-writer, Michael Showalter says during phone interview less than a week before the film’s debut May 2 on Prime Video. “There’s something threatening about it — about a woman who is unapologetic about pursuing her own desire.” Adapted from the novel by Robinne Lee and co-written by Jennifer Westfeldt (“Kissing Jessica Stein”), “The Idea of You” tells the story of Hathaway’s Solène Marchand, a divorced single mom and successful art gallery director who, having just turned 40, does her best not to fall for Nicholas Galitzine’s Hayes Campbell, a 24-year-old singer in a popular boy band who gives her the full-court press. It is the latest film from Showalter, once a cast member of the cult-fave

By Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service In theory, “The Fall Guy” may be former stuntman David Leitch’s loving tribute to stunt professionals, but in practice, it’s a demonstration of the importance of movie star charisma. Loosely based on the 1980s TV show that starred Lee Majors as a stunt man moonlighting as a bounty hunter, “The Fall Guy” orbits around one person with a planetary-sized screen presence, Ryan Gosling. Hair streaked with the remaining vestiges of his “Barbie” blond, the sun seems to rise and set based on where he directs his deep blue gaze, which is usually at his co-star, Emily Blunt. Working with these two screen supernovas, Leitch and writer Drew Pearce set up a cute workplace rom-com where the workplace happens to involve massive explosions and death-defying feats of physical peril. Colt Seavers (Gosling) is the cocky, charming stunt double of superstar Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), and Jody Moreno (Blunt) is the ambitious camera operator who dreams of directing her own films. Colt and Jody’s lighthearted fling, which involves making out in trailers and flirting over the walkie about spicy margaritas, is

By Hira Qureshi, The Philadelphia Inquirer PHILADELPHIA — There’s one thing everyone dreads when making their way to the airport: a long security line. Luckily, there are workarounds to expedite the process and get you to your gate in time for a preboarding treat. Whether you’re jetting off to visit the Philly-themed bar in Tokyo or heading home after adventures abroad, programs like Global Entry, TSA PreCheck, and CLEAR PLUS can help travelers members move through the line faster. While each offer similar privileges, the three programs often get conflated together. Understanding what each program provides and how to apply can help you select the right program for your traveling needs.

SANTA CLARA — Two years after Brock Purdy wore No. 14 in the 49ers’ rookie camp, Ricky Pearsall will do the same next week. “That’s what they assigned to me for camp, so we’re going to rock out with it,” Pearsall said Wednesday morning on 95.7 The Game. “We’re going to make it look good. “They say that number has no aura but I’m going to put some aura in it.” History lesson: No. 14 did have a positive aura, back in the day. Pro Football Hall of Famer Y.A. Tittle wore No. 14 from 1952-60, and Ray Wersching donned it as the 49ers’ kicker on their first two Super Bowl-winning teams.

By the way, Purdy’s jersey was the NFL’s 13th-best-selling jersey over the first three months of last season, according to the NFL Players Association. Sam Darnold wore No. 14 last season

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — United Methodist delegates repealed their church’s longstanding ban on LGBTQ clergy with no debate on Wednesday, removing a rule forbidding “self-avowed practicing homosexuals” from being ordained or appointed as ministers. Delegates voted 692-51 at their General Conference – the first such legislative gathering in five years. That overwhelming margin contrasts sharply with the decades of controversy around the issue. Past General Conferences of the United Methodist Church had steadily reinforced the ban and related penalties amid debate and protests, but many of the conservatives who had previously upheld the ban have left the denomination in recent years, and this General Conference has moved in a solidly progressive direction. Applause broke out in parts of the convention hall Wednesday after the vote. A group of observers from LGBTQ advocacy groups embraced, some in tears. “Thanks be to God,” said one. The change doesn’t mandate or even explicitly affirm LGBTQ clergy, but it means the church no longer forbids them. It’s possible that the change will mainly apply to U.S. churches, since United Methodist bodies in other countries, such as in Africa, have

The incredible story of Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel in a 21-mile stretch from France to England By Amy Becker Wednesday, May 1, 2024 5:42PM The cast and crew of “Young Woman and the Sea” take a look at the incredible true story of Trudy Ederle. LOS ANGELES — In 1926, Trudy Ederle became the first woman to successfully swim the English Channel, a 21-mile stretch from France to England, and yet, her name has been lost to history. “Young Woman and the Sea” shines a light on her accomplishments and the strides she made in the world of women’s sports. Daisy Ridley, who plays Ederle, spoke about the tenacious swimmer. “The difficulties she faced was all the sorts of trials and tribulations of being a woman of that time. She just refused to be boxed in, puts in a lot of effort and starts winning absolutely everything.” “She changed women’s sports forever, and I think it’s important to tell that story,” said director Joachim Rnning. “Ultimately, she realizes this actually means more to people than even she could understand,”

LOS ANGELES — It. Is. On. “Jeopardy! Masters” is back for season 2 and this one promises to be just as competitive as last year’s tournament. The winner will receive the grand prize of $500,000. James Holzhauer is the reigning “Masters” champion and he told On The Red Carpet he is ready to defend the title. “It’s a real tough field this year. I’m not taking anything for granted. I’m just gonna play my best and hope that’s enough,” Holzhauer said. “I feel pretty comfortable out there and maybe that could be an advantage over the other competitors.” Matt Amodio and Mattea Roach played against Holzhauer last year and they are ready to take him on. “I was the only one to beat him last year. It was just one game, he had more against me. But I’m gonna try to get out of my normal spirit and maybe gloat in front of him a little bit. He deserves it,” Amodio said. “One thing that James has really done is he demonstrated, I think, as close to optimal game play as you can really get

By STEFANIE DAZIO, ETHAN SWOPE, JAKE OFFENHARTZ and JOSEPH B. FREDERICK (Associated Press) LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dueling groups of protesters clashed Wednesday at the University of California, Los Angeles, grappling in fistfights and shoving, kicking and using sticks to beat one another. Hours earlier, police burst into a building at Columbia University that pro-Palestinian protesters took over and broke up a demonstration that had paralyzed the school while inspiring others. After a couple of hours of scuffles between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli demonstrators at UCLA, police wearing helmets and face shields formed lines and slowly separated the groups. That quelled the violence, and the scene was calm as day broke. Tent encampments of protesters calling on universities to stop doing business with Israel or companies that support the war in Gaza have spread across the country in a student movement unlike any other in the 21st century, reaching from New York to Texas and California. The ensuing crackdown by police on some college campuses has stirred echoes of the much larger student protest movement during the Vietnam War era. There have been confrontations with law

By LISA MASCARO and KEVIN FREKING (Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Wednesday she would call a vote next week on ousting House Speaker Mike Johnson, forcing her colleagues to choose sides in a difficult showdown after Democratic leaders announced they would provide the votes to save the Republican speaker’s job. Speaking outside the Capitol, Greene ranted against Republican Party leaders at the highest levels and pushed back against their public entreaties, including from Donald Trump, to avoid another messy political fight so close to the November election. With her was Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., one of the few lawmakers to join her effort. “We need leaders in the House of Representatives that are going to get this done,” said Greene, R-Ga., holding up a red “MAGA” hat from Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign movement. “Mike Johnson is not capable of that job,” she said. In pressing ahead next week, she said that “every member of Congress needs to take that vote.” The standoff with Greene, one of Trump’s most enthusiastic supporters, risks throwing Republican control of the House
