San Diego’s historic Starlight Bowl gets a second chance

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Over the past decade or so, the historic Starlight Bowl in Balboa Park has been abandoned and neglected. It’s also been robbed, vandalized and taken over by the homeless. But after all this time, San Diego’s first outdoor amphitheater may be looking at another curtain call after all. Balboa Park could see return of Starlight Bowl in renewed renovation push “I think bringing it back to life is absolutely essential. Having this on the campus of Balboa Park, it’s not negotiable. It has to be,” said Sparks Moeller, Save Starlight Bowl. The Starlight Bowl has a history like no other going back almost 100-years in Balboa Park.

Where the battleground states stand as Election Day dawns

It’s time.  The campaign for the White House is almost over and, on Tuesday, the voters will deliver their verdict. Around 75 million people have already cast their ballots. The election will likely be decided in seven battlegrounds: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.  The opinion polls are tighter in more states than any election in memory.  In the polling averages maintained by The Hill and Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ), the margin separating the two candidates is less than 2 percentage points in six of those seven states. Here is where things stand in each one of the crucial states. Arizona 11 Electoral College votes, polls close at 9 p.m. ET Former President Trump polls more strongly in Arizona than in any other battleground state.  In The Hill/DDHQ averages, he is up by 2.5 points. In the New York Times polling averages, he is up by three. President Biden prevailed in the state by less than half a point in 2020. Early voting figures do not look very promising for Vice President Harris, though there is always a danger in extrapolating too

‘Mr. Semillas’ y ‘Mr. Octubre’, la dupla de los Hernández que le dio el título a Dodgers

El dominicano Teoscar Hénandez recibió una pelota de hit en el jardín izquierdo que Anthony Volpe había golpeado con todo su corazón buscando sobrevivir en la Serie Mundial. Teóscar necesitaba un tiro casi perfecto hacia su receptor Will Smith pues Giancarlo Stanton estaba en segunda e iba rumbo a la anotación. Fue eso, simplemente perfecto, un láser de 93.9 millas por hora que puso out al pelotero californiano estrella de los Yanquis. Fue una de las grandes jugadas en la Serie Mundial ocurrida en el cuarto inning del Juego 3 en Yankee Stadium. Esa joya de Teoscar confirmó el dominio de los Dodgers en ese partido. De haber anotado, los Yanquis se ponían a solo dos carreras de empatar el Juego 3. Pero fue una jugada que le dio un duro golpe a los de Nueva York y del cual nunca se levantaron. En lugar, los Dodgers se colocaron 3-0 en la Serie Mundial y solamente le tomó dos juegos más para adquirir el campeonato, el octavo en su historia. Muchos hablarán de los jonrones de Freddie Freeman en la Serie Mundial o la monstruosidad

Jason Kelce se disculpa por incidente con teléfono celular en el partido Ohio State-Penn State

KANSAS CITY, Missouri, EE.UU. (AP) — Jason Kelce, centro retirado de los Eagles, se disculpó durante el programa previo al partido del lunes por la noche de la NFL por quitarle el celular a un fanático rebelde y arrojarlo al piso antes del partido entre Ohio State y Penn State de fútbol americano colegial de la NCAA el fin de semana pasado. “En un momento de tensión, decidí responder al odio con odio”, dijo Kelce previo a la transmisión del partido entre los Buccaneers y los Chiefs, partido en el que participa su hermano, el tight end de Kansas City, Travis Kelce. “Me quedé corto esta semana”. Jason Kelce asistió al partido de la conferencia Big Ten entre los Buckeyes y los Nittany Lions en State College, Pennsylvania, cuando ocurrió el incidente. Un video difundido en redes sociales muestra a Kelce caminando en medio de una multitud cerca del Beaver Stadium mientras los fanáticos le pedían chocar puños y tomarse fotografías, cuando uno de los presentes comenzó a abuchearlo. En ese momento, Kelce tomó el teléfono celular del fanático y lo arrojó al piso, luego

Anthony Davis and LeBron James can’t mask Lakers’ issues in loss to Pistons

DETROIT —  JJ Redick, the mathematically inclined Lakers coach, knows the sample sizes are too small as the Lakers enter their third week of the season. Still, 27th in anything is probably at least a little concerning. Through six games, that’s where Redick’s team ranked in defensive efficiency, a stunning statistic considering his team is anchored by one of the NBA’s premier defensive players in Anthony Davis. “I think we can be a really good defensive team,” Redick said before Monday’s game against the Detroit Pistons. “I’m confident when we get a larger sample size, we won’t be 27th in the league.” After the first half of game seven, it was probably worse. Forget that the Pistons had only won twice this season, that they’d been stuck in the mud on a rebuild with no real ending in sight. Forget that they played in Brooklyn the day before while the Lakers enjoyed time off after their win in Toronto. From the moment Monday’s game began, the Lakers’ biggest issues — the ones on the defensive end — were the biggest problems on the court. The Lakers

2.9 million expats expected to vote in Tuesday’s presidential election

SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — About 2.9 million Americans who live outside the United States are expected to participate in Tuesday’s election, according to Vote From Abroad, a group that works with the U.S. government to provide assistance to Americans living outside the country. Some of those voters live in the Tijuana-Northwest region of Baja California. “I think we need a more reflective America that reaches out to the world community for peace and democracy,” said Desmond Murray, a U.S. citizen in Rosarito Beach, a community located about 20 miles south of the border. Murray, who is originally from Northern Ireland, said the U.S. needs a president who will unite the populace. Border Report Live: Senate races heat up over immigration, border security “The country is clearly divided badly, I think someone needs to stabilize it a bit, people need to listen to each other and in the end, we need to be more tolerant, less talk of hate and try to work together as a country and a community.” When talking to Americans on the streets of Rosarito Beach, you certainly get a sense

Georgia State Election Board chair discusses conspiracies, threats and more

Georgia election officials fight fraud claims Georgia election officials fighting voting misinformation | 60 Minutes 13:39 John Fervier, chairman of Georgia’s State Election Board, is a mild-mannered corporate executive with a dry wit and an aversion to the spotlight. Yet in recent weeks he found himself at the center of a political storm as three of his MAGA-oriented board members pushed through rules that many believed would have caused chaos and confusion in Georgia during the presidential election.  The pro-Trump faction, which forms a majority of the board, passed one rule that would have required county election officials to hand-count every paper ballot on election night and another rule that required a “reasonable inquiry” before an election could be certified.  Both rules were ultimately rejected by Georgia courts , though the rulings have been appealed. Fervier talked to CBS News —his first sit down with a national outlet— about how he thinks the election has gone so far and what he’s expecting in the coming days.  The interview has been condensed and lightly edited for clarity. Dan Klaidman:   How’s the election going so far

San Bernardino Police Department Partners with California Highway Patrol to Help Sustain Historic Reduction in Violent Crime

The San Bernardino Police Department (SBPD) is proud to announce a strategic partnership with the California Highway Patrol (CHP) aimed at maintaining and further reducing violent crime within the city. This year, San Bernardino has seen a significant decline in violent crime, with overall aggravated assaults down 17%, robberies reduced by 15%, and, most notably, murders down by a staggering 33% from the same period last year. This follows an impressive 50% reduction in murders the previous year, marking a historic downward trend.  The SBPD attributes much of this success to a proactive approach to law enforcement,  intelligence-led policing, and collaborative partnerships. This new alliance with CHP will build  on these efforts, pooling resources and expertise to enhance citywide safety. With additional CHP support, SBPD will strengthen patrols in high-traffic areas, increase rapid response capabilities, and engage in targeted crime prevention operations.  “Our community deserves to feel safe and secure, and we are committed to sustaining this  positive momentum,” said San Bernardino Police Chief Darren Goodman. “This collaboration  with CHP will amplify our ongoing efforts to keep violent crime down, and we are confident that

Curry returns as Warriors beat Wizards with wire-to-wire performance

WASHINGTON D.C. — Steph Curry returned after missing three games with a left ankle sprain, but the Warriors didn’t need to fully unleash him to discard the Wizards. Curry opened the scoring with a 27-footer in the first minute of the game, giving the Warriors a lead they’d never relinquish. In his first game back from a left ankle sprain, Curry logged 24 minute and six assists in 24 minutes. Washington is expected to be among the worst teams in the league. They routinely made defensive miscues and at times lacked intensity, which the Warriors pounced on to build a commanding lead. The Warriors (6-1) never trailed in a 125-112 victory. Six Warriors scored double figures in the team’s fourth straight win. Former Warriors Jordan Poole led the Wizards with 24 points. Especially in the first half, the Warriors didn’t let the Wizards off the hook for being undisciplined. On one play, Poole gambled on a standard chest pass, giving Gary Payton II a free lane to the rim, which he used to feed Trayce Jackson-Davis for a dunk. Right before that, Curry missed a

San Jose man arrested on suspicion of setting fire inside store

SAN JOSE – A man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of setting a fire inside a business a month ago in San Jose, according to authorities. The incident happened shortly before 10 p.m. on Oct. 7 at a business in the 1800 block of Hillsdale Avenue, San Jose police Officer Tanya Hernandez said in a news release. The suspect entered the business and set fire to a box containing an electric scooter, according to Hernandez. Hernandez said Organized Retail Theft Detail investigators identified the suspect as a 28-year-old San Jose man and determined he was responsible for an earlier theft at the same business. On Oct. 10, patrol officers arrested the suspect and booked him into Santa Clara County jail on a charge of arson. Anyone with information related to the case can contact Investigator Moody at 408-277-4166.

Warriors’ Steve Kerr centers closing message on US presidential election around ‘big lie’

WASHINGTON D.C. — Asked about what it’s like to be in the nation’s capital on the eve of the U.S. presidential election, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr laid out — over nearly three minutes — his concerns of Donald Trump’s repeated election fraud conspiracies he considers “a direct assault on democracy.” Kerr, who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in a Democratic National Convention speech this summer, said he has had conversations with the team about the anxiety surrounding the election. Kerr and the Warriors coaches wore white “VOTE” shirts over the weekend and continued to don them on Monday night at Capital One Arena, where they played the Wizards. “There’s a reason we’re wearing these shirts, it’s not just an NBA-mandated thing,” Kerr said. “We believe in our democracy, we believe in voting, we want to encourage everybody to get out and vote. And honestly, regardless of who you’re going to vote for: Get out and vote. “I think the biggest thing that will come out of tomorrow will be election integrity, which has never been a thing in my entire life until Donald Trump

Former firefighter sues L.A. County over colleague’s alleged homophobic behavior

A former firefighter is suing Los Angeles County, alleging he was discriminated against over his disability and endured his co-worker’s homophobic harassment in the workplace. The civil lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court lists a series of events over six years that Guilherme Guimaraes claims violated his rights under the Fair Employment and Housing Act. The Los Angeles County Fire Department said it does not comment on pending litigation. In 2017, Guimaraes was forced to take 20 months of medical leave after he developed aplastic anemia after being exposed to toxic smoke and benzene on the job, according to the lawsuit. Guimaraes returned to his duties at Marina del Rey, but allegedly faced difficulties with his necessary accommodations, including having a service dog and requiring a well-ventilated workplace. In February 2021, a new hire, Eric Barnett, joined the station and allegedly began making homophobic comments around his colleagues including Guimaraes, the lawsuit says. Even though Guimaraes is straight, the lawsuit said, Barnett’s comments “struck a personal chord with [him], who has a relative who is gay, making him feel particularly uncomfortable and

Quincy Jones, in his own words for the L.A. Times: ‘If it can’t get funky, brother, you don’t touch it’

The late Quincy Jones’ life spanned the entirety of modern American pop music — a tradition he absorbed, influenced and reinvented for generations. It’s remarkable to look back on the composer, arranger and producer’s life and hear him speak on his friendships and work with Sidney Poitier, Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Tupac Shakur, among hundreds more. Over the years, The Times spoke to Jones — who died Sunday at 91 — at many junctures in his career, where he recalled being a Black composer in Hollywood in a less-enlightened mid-century climate; making perhaps the biggest pop album of the century with Michael Jackson, and his heartbreak over gangsta rap’s real world violence that touched his family. Jones’ philosophy on music was cosmopolitan and curious from the start. He traveled widely, and as a composer, he learned from European classical and folk traditions, pairing them with the innovations of Black art forms like American jazz. Traditional music “enhances your soul,” he told The Times in 2001. “Because you see that most countries, the evolution of their music is based on the

Miniature horse named ‘Butter’ rescued from well in Riverside County

Firefighters and animal services crewmembers teamed up Friday to save a miniature horse that crashed and fell into a plywood-covered well in Riverside County. The 350-pound horse named Butter fell about 15 feet into the well, which was actually about 60 feet in depth after water was siphoned, officials said. Firefighters from CAL FIRE and Riverside County Fire, alongside officers and veterinary staff from local animal services agencies, first responded to the call in the unincorporated area of Warm Springs on Friday afternoon.
