Student journalist files lawsuit against Cal Poly San Luis Obispo

A student reporter at Cal Poly and a nonprofit advocating for First Amendment rights have filed a lawsuit against Cal Poly. Student journalist Elizabeth Wilson and the First Amendment Coalition filed the lawsuit Tuesday on claims the university failed to disclose public records she requested more than 18 months ago. Wilson filed three records requests in September and October 2022, according to the lawsuit. It states that in all three cases, Wilson received responses from Cal Poly saying the university would search for those records, but when no updates were given and the records were not released, according to the documents, she turned to the First Amendment Coalition (FAC) for help. She was investigating administrators’ responses to reported sexual assaults on campus and alleged student labor violations,” FAC representative Annie Cappetta said. “But the case isn’t necessarily about the underlying stories, but the fact that my client has a right to receive this information under the Public Records Act and the state Constitution and Cal Poly has withheld that information and violated those rights. When filing a records requests, I go by a hunch that

County officials warn about dangers of counterfeit Botox after woman suffers botulism

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) – The county is warning about the dangers of counterfeit Botox after a San Diego woman developed botulism. Officials say she was able to purchase the product online, then took it to a “Botox party” in Mexico. “Where it was injected by an unlicensed and untrained person,” said Dr. Erik A. Berg, medical consultant for San Diego County. County health officials say the 43-year-old woman soon after developed a headache, weakness, and blurred vision which is consistent with botulism. The CDC reports 22 cases of botulism due to counterfeit Botox across 11 states, including two in California. Officials say half of the patients required hospitalization. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Chaffoo says you have to be a licensed physician to purchase legitimate Botox and a licensed professional should always be the one administering it. One person beat up, stabbed by group of suspects: SDPD “These are elective procedures, not some thing anybody ever has to do, so you really want to do your homework. Be a good consumer and ask a lot of questions,” Dr. Chafoo said. Dr. Chaffoo also

Archbishop Riordan’s Zion Sensley decommits from Saint Mary’s College

MORAGA – Saint Mary’s College’s difficult offseason got even worse on Tuesday night when highly-touted three-star recruit Zion Sensley decommitted from men’s basketball program. He joins a growing list of high-profile losses the Moraga school has endured since falling in the first round of the NCAA tournament as a No. 5 seed.  Aidan Mahaney, who went to high school down the road at nearby Campolindo High, entered the transfer portal after two seasons in Moraga. Fellow sophomore Joshua Jefferson transferred to Iowa State.  Sensley, a 6-foot-8 shot-making wing who will graduate from San Francisco high school Archbishop Riordan in May, made the announcement on social media platform X.  “After reflecting on the changes within the St. Mary’s Men’s Basketball program, I have decided to request release from my NLI and reopen my recruitment,” Sensley wrote. “I will take this time to decide which school I will attend next year. Thank you.” Sensley spent his freshman year at Riordan before transferring and playing the next two seasons at Prolific Prep in Napa. He came back to the San Francisco private school for his senior year and

Los Angeles makes progress but earns 25th-straight F in air quality

Despite California’s reputation for groundbreaking clean-air rules, Greater Los Angeles is the smoggiest region in the nation — a dubious title it has earned in 24 out of 25 reports from the American Lung Assn. And the streak continues, as several Southland counties earned F grades for the 25th consecutive time from the group, which released its latest report Wednesday. Since the turn of the century, Southern California air regulators have drastically diminished the dense clouds of lung-searing pollution that once hung over the region. Between 1996 and 1998, Greater Los Angeles experienced around 230 days when ozone (a major component of smog) exceeded federal health standards. With well over 1 million electric vehicles on California roads and massive installations of renewable energy, the region saw 55 fewer unhealthy smog days on average between 2020 and 2022, the American Lung Assn. said in its 25th annual “State of the Air” report. “Overall, the nation has made dramatic progress in reducing air pollution,” said Laura Kate Bender, an executive with the American Lung Assn. “Measures to clean up vehicles, power plants and other industry — led
