MILLBRAE — A big transit-oriented development has landed a crucial loan that will buoy the financial fortunes of a residential complex next to a BART station, the project’s developer said. Station 16 Apartments, located near the Millbrae BART station, landed financing to replace a previous construction loan for the apartment complex, according to Republic Urban Properties, the developer of the residences. The apartment complex consists of 320 market-rate units. “Despite the current challenges in the commercial real estate market,” the developer was able to attract the loan from Argentic Real Estate Investment, said Brian Yi, vice president of investments with Republic Urban. The refinance, which is known in the industry as a bridge loan, replaces the initial $114 million construction loan that U.S. Bank had provided to enable the construction of Station 16, which is part of the Gateway at Millbrae mixed-use development next to the BART station. San Jose-based Republic Urban will use the financing to explore ways to enhance the resident and community experience at Station 16, which is located at 126 North Rollins Road in Millbrae.

Vanessa G. Sánchez | KFF Health News (TNS) For pregnant Latinas, food choices could reduce the risk of preeclampsia, a dangerous type of high blood pressure, and a diet based on cultural food preferences, rather than on U.S. government benchmarks, is more likely to help ward off the illness, a new study shows. Researchers at the USC Keck School of Medicine found that a combination of solid fats, refined grains, and cheese was linked to higher rates of preeclampsia among a group of low-income Latinas in Los Angeles. By contrast, women who ate vegetables, fruits, and meals made with healthy oils were less likely to develop the illness. The combination of vegetables, fruits, and healthy oils, such as olive oil, showed a stronger correlation with lower rates of preeclampsia than did the Healthy Eating Index-2015, a list of dietary recommendations designed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services. The study, published in February by the Journal of the American Heart Association, yielded important information on which food combinations affect pregnant Latinas, said Luis Maldonado, the lead investigator and a postdoctoral scholar at
By Ed White | Associated Press DETROIT — The U.S. Justice Department announced a $138.7 million settlement Tuesday with more than 100 people who accused the FBI of grossly mishandling allegations of sexual assault against Larry Nassar in 2015 and 2016, a critical time gap that allowed the sports doctor to continue to prey on victims before his arrest. When combined with other settlements, $1 billion now has been set aside by various organizations to compensate hundreds of women who said Nassar assaulted them under the guise of treatment for sports injuries. Nassar worked at Michigan State University and also served as a team doctor at Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics. He’s now serving decades in prison for assaulting female athletes, including medal-winning Olympic gymnasts. Acting Associate Attorney General Benjamin Mizer said Nassar betrayed the trust of those in his care for decades, and that the “allegations should have been taken seriously from the outset.” “While these settlements won’t undo the harm Nassar inflicted, our hope is that they will help give the victims of his crimes some of the critical support they need to continue healing,”
By Sara Rathner | NerdWallet A lot of work goes into making a household run smoothly, and the thread that runs through all the labor is money. It’s money that makes it possible to fix a broken appliance, enroll the kids in summer camp and save up to replace the aging car. The mental load of money can be heavy. It’s made up of those endless invisible tasks we engage in, and the future tasks we lie awake at night thinking about. “I think it is important to mention the emotional weight that comes with worrying about money. Do we have enough for rent next month? Are we saving enough for college?” Kate Mangino, author of “Equal Partners: Improving Gender Equality at Home,” said in an email. “Those kinds of worries tend to chip away at our emotional health, especially if we think our partner doesn’t share this worry, and we’re alone in carrying that weight.” When it comes to the mental load of managing financial responsibilities, couples can fall into unproductive patterns that can lead to conflict, resentment and even willful ignorance.

In it, she explained how she maintains her textured blond hair with her seven-product regimen (and other tools) and subtly flexed about her “long and healthy” hair. “It has been such a special experience seeing all of your #cecredwashday rituals all over my timeline… I just had to join in with something I had in the archives 🥰,” the Cécred founder wrote on Instagram, setting her founder video to her new “Bodyguard” track. “Being disruptive and challenging everything people feel should be the process has always been exciting to me. My hair and music seemed to do that a lot over the years…,” she wrote. “Maintaining 25 years of blonde on natural hair through all the experimenting I do has played a huge part in

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is reminding Golden State residents to take precautions to protect their dogs from a potentially fatal disease caused by fish. According to CDFW officials, Salmon Poisoning Disease can be fatal in dogs after they eat certain types of raw or cold-smoked fish like trout or salmon. All fish caught or originating from streams in California could potentially be affected, CDFW warns. Your dog could be the Los Angeles Fire Department’s next mascot The disease is caused by Neorickettsia helminthoeca, a “bacteria-like organism” transmitted by parasitic flatworms (Nanophyetes salmincola), more commonly known as flukes. Flukes occur naturally in waters in Northern California, wildlife department officials said, and while most of NorCal is considered the native range for the fluke, dogs across the state are susceptible to the disease. “Dog owners are advised to be cautious and to keep their dogs away from salmon, steelhead, trout and other freshwater fish carcasses,” CDFW said in a release, which noted that the parasite cannot survive if the fish is cooked. Salmon Poisoning Disease is not harmful to humans and does not affect
The Long Beach Cruise Terminal has a new resident — a 1000-foot-long, 5,200-guest cruise ship by the name of Firenze. The Carnival cruise ship arrived Tuesday after traveling from Europe to Long Beach, which will be its permanent home base as it sails year-round, offering multi-day cruises to the Mexican Riviera. The Firenze is an Italian-inspired ship that is named after the city of Florence. It was originally part of a fleet of cruise ships belonging to Costa Cruises, a popular cruise line in Italy, and a subsidiary of Carnival. It was built and delivered to Costa Cruises in December 2020, but in June 2022, it was announced Firenze would be coming stateside as part of the company’s “Costa by Carnival” initiative, alongside its sister ship, Carnival Venezia, which calls New York City home. Carnival Firenze arrives in Long Beach, its new permanent home, on April 23, 2024. (Carnival Cruise Line) Both cruise ships feature Italian-themed restaurants, bars and entertainment, and unique Italian-inspired design and architecture. It’s the third Carnival cruise ship to sail from Long Beach to Baja Mexico and the Mexican Riviera, joining

28m ago Pecker details second use of “catch and kill” David Pecker answers questions from prosecutors Joshua Steinglass in former President Donald Trump’s trial in New York on Tuesday, April 23, 2024. Jane Rosenberg Pecker moved on to describe the second “catch and kill” story, which involved former Playboy model Karen McDougal. She alleged that she had an affair with Trump, which he denies. Pecker said that Dylan Howard, the Enquirer’s editor, got wind of the story in early June 2016. Pecker sent Howard out to California to interview McDougal and told Cohen about her claims. The witness noted that he was speaking to Cohen almost every day, and sometimes several times a day, during this period. Cohen at one point cautioned that they shouldn’t be talking over a landline, so they switched to the encrypted app Signal, according to Pecker. Pecker said Cohen “explained to me that it was an encrypted app where nobody could trace it and that there’s not a paper trail and nobody that can listen into the conversations. And the conversation is apparently destroyed after you have the call.

An autopsy was pending Tuesday on a 53-year-old inmate found dead in his cell at the Smith Correctional Facility, though authorities said his death did not appear to be suspicious. Mack Luther Price of Riverside was discovered not breathing in cell No. 70 of Housing Unit 16 at the Banning jail about 8 p.m. Friday, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. Sgt. Christopher Wedel said that correctional personnel initiated resuscitative measures until county fire paramedics arrived and took over. However, the efforts were unsuccessful, and Price was pronounced dead at the jail. “There were no signs of foul play,” Wedel said, without disclosing further details, including whether the detainee had been housed alone or had bunkmates. It was the second inmate death in the county correctional system this month. Jail records indicated Price was booked into the Smith jail on Jan. 12 on suspicion of assault resulting in great bodily injury, false imprisonment, child endangerment and violating a domestic violence restraining order. His next court date would have been May 21.
A suspect was in custody Tuesday in connection with the ambush shooting of a Los Angeles County sheriff’s motorcycle deputy who was shot in the back while stopped at a West Covina intersection, and whose life was saved by his bulletproof vest. Sheriff’s department officials said late Tuesday morning that the suspect was arrested “by another law enforcement agency,” and investigators believe the person “is linked to the shooting” of Deputy Samuel Aispuro. Sheriff Robert Luna and other department officials are expected to discuss the arrest during a 1 p.m. news conference in downtown Los Angeles. Aispuro, 43, was shot around 2:45 p.m. Monday while he was on his sheriff’s department motorcycle in full uniform, stopped at the intersection of southbound Barranca Street at East Garvey Avenue, Sheriff Robert Luna said.

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments about whether a small Oregon city can cite and prosecute homeless people for sleeping in public places when they have nowhere else to lay their heads. If the case reveals nothing else about the state of our country, it reveals this: We continue to fail the homeless people who live among us, and no single court ruling in the world is going to solve the underlying issues — the lack of affordable housing, widespread income equality, substance abuse and a shamefully insufficient social safety net. Opinion Columnist Robin Abcarian Grants Pass is a city of about 39,000 with a homeless population of about 600 and only enough shelter beds for 100; just one of the many American cities — especially in the West — that has been grappling with the issue of homelessness for years. San Francisco, Los Angeles and other municipalities filed friend-of-the court briefs supporting the law. Advocates for the homeless say cities want more power to sweep away encampments. Cities say they desperately want some clarification and guidance from the courts. In 2019, in
