Prep sports on pause: Bay Area league adopts condensed, three-season model that’ll end May 28

Sat, 23 Jan 2021 17:00:45 GMT

There are no easy solutions to solve the high school sports dilemma amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but administrators keep trying.

This week, one of the South Bay’s largest leagues made its latest calendar revision, aiming for student-athletes in all sports to have some sort of a season.

The Santa Clara Valley Athletic League — a 14-school conference that includes the likes of Wilcox, Milpitas, Palo Alto and Los Gatos — has adopted a three-season calendar that moves some sports that state health officials say can be contested in the most restrictive tier in California’s reopening system to Season 1 while moving sports deemed higher-risk such as football to later in the spring.

The reorganization, which states there will no Central Coast Section or California Interscholastic playoffs, comes at a time when coaches and parents are desperately lobbying to get kids out of their homes and back onto playing fields before the school year ends.

But the clock is ticking — and it’s ticking fast.

Here is how the SCVAL’s plan, approved by the league’s Board of Managers, would work — provided the sports meet tier guidelines and stay-at-home orders are lifted:

Season 1

Purple-tier sports: Boys and girls cross country, girls golf, girls tennis and boys and girls swimming and diving.

Voluntary conditioning: Can start now.

First practice: Feb. 1

First competition: Feb. 15, pending stay-at-home order

Last competition: March 26

Cancellation date: Sport will be canceled unless it can start by March 1. If the delay is because of the stay-at-home order, competition can be extended until April 5.

Season 2

Red-tier sports: Field hockey, gymnastics

Orange-tier sports: Football, boys and girls soccer, badminton**, girls volleyball**

Yellow-tier sports: Competitive cheer

Voluntary conditioning: Can start now, but Season 1 athletes cannot participate until that season concludes

First practice: March 1

First competition: March 15

Last competition: April 23 (Football must end by April 17, per CIF guidelines)

Cancellation date: March 29 (Football’s cancellation date is March 15)

** Season will move to Season 3 if it does not receive clearance for Season 2.

Season 3

Purple-tier sports: Boys and girls track and field, boys tennis, boys golf

Red-tier sports: Baseball, softball, girls lacrosse

Orange-tier sports: Boys lacrosse, boys volleyball, boys and girls water polo

Yellow-tier sports: Boys and girls basketball, wrestling

Voluntary conditioning: Can start now, but Season 1 or Season 2 athletes cannot participate until that season concludes

First practice: April 5

First competition: April 19

Last competition: May 28

Cancellation date: May 3

Our reaction

Pro: It’s a comprehensive plan that provides hope — even at this late date — that there might be a few weeks of competition for all student-athletes. Given all they have been through for the past 10 months, that is not a bad thing at all.

Con: It’s another blow for traditional spring-sport athletes who have already lost nearly a full season because of the pandemic. A six-week season this spring coupled with a few games or meets last spring is rough, especially for the current seniors.

Larry King, broadcasting giant for half-century, dies at 87

Sat, 23 Jan 2021 16:54:41 GMT

By Andrew Dalton | Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Larry King, the suspenders-sporting everyman whose broadcast interviews with world leaders, movie stars and ordinary Joes helped define American conversation for a half-century, died Saturday. He was 87.

King died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, his production company, Ora Media, tweeted. No cause of death was given, but a spokesperson said Jan. 4 that King had COVID-19, had received supplemental oxygen and had been moved out of intensive care. His son Chance Armstrong also confirmed King’s death, CNN reported.

A longtime nationally syndicated radio host, from 1985 through 2010 he was a nightly fixture on CNN, where he won many honors, including two Peabody awards.

With his celebrity interviews, political debates and topical discussions, King wasn’t just an enduring on-air personality. He also set himself apart with the curiosity he brought to every interview, whether questioning the assault victim known as the Central Park jogger or billionaire industrialist Ross Perot, who in 1992 rocked the presidential contest by announcing his candidacy on King’s show.

In its early years, “Larry King Live” was based in Washington, which gave the show an air of gravitas. Likewise King. He was the plainspoken go-between through whom Beltway bigwigs could reach their public, and they did, earning the show prestige as a place where things happened, where news was made.

King conducted an estimated 50,000 on-air interviews. In 1995 he presided over a Middle East peace summit with PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat, King Hussein of Jordan and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. He welcomed everyone from the Dalai Lama to Elizabeth Taylor, from Mikhail Gorbachev to Barack Obama, Bill Gates to Lady Gaga.

Especially after he relocated to Los Angeles, his shows were frequently in the thick of breaking celebrity news, including Paris Hilton talking about her stint in jail in 2007 and Michael Jackson’s friends and family members talking about his death in 2009.

King boasted of never overpreparing for an interview. His nonconfrontational style relaxed his guests and made him readily relatable to his audience.

“I don’t pretend to know it all,” he said in a 1995 Associated Press interview. “Not, `What about Geneva or Cuba?′ I ask, `Mr. President, what don’t you like about this job?′ Or `What’s the biggest mistake you made?′ That’s fascinating.”

At a time when CNN as the lone player in cable news was deemed politically neutral, and King was the essence of its middle-of-the-road stance, political figures and people at the center of controversies would seek out his show.

And he was known for getting guests who were notoriously elusive. Frank Sinatra, who rarely gave interviews and often lashed out at reporters, spoke to King in 1988 in what would be the singer’s last major TV appearance. Sinatra was an old friend of King’s and acted accordingly.

“Why are you here?” King asks. Sinatra responds, “Because you asked me to come and I hadn’t seen you in a long time to begin with, I thought we ought to get together and chat, just talk about a lot of things.”

King had never met Marlon Brando, who was even tougher to get and tougher to interview, when the acting giant asked to appear on King’s show in 1994. The two hit it off so famously they ended their 90-minute talk with a song and an on-the-mouth kiss, an image that was all over media in subsequent weeks.

After a gala week marking his 25th anniversary in June 2010, King abruptly announced he was retiring from his show, telling viewers, “It’s time to hang up my nightly suspenders.” Named as his successor in the time slot: British journalist and TV personality Piers Morgan.

By King’s departure that December, suspicion had grown that he had waited a little too long to hang up those suspenders. Once the leader in cable TV news, he ranked third in his time slot with less than half the nightly audience his peak year, 1998, when “Larry King Live” drew 1.64 million viewers.

His wide-eyed, regular-guy approach to interviewing by then felt dated in an era of edgy, pushy or loaded questioning by other hosts.

Meanwhile, occasional flubs had made him seem out of touch, or worse. A prime example from 2007 found King asking Jerry Seinfeld if he had voluntarily left his sitcom or been canceled by his network, NBC.

“I was the No. 1 show in television, Larry,” replied Seinfeld with a flabbergasted look. “Do you know who I am?”

Always a workaholic, King would be back doing specials for CNN within a few months of performing his nightly duties.

He found a new sort of celebrity as a plainspoken natural on Twitter when the platform emerged, winning over more than 2 million followers who simultaneously mocked and loved him for his esoteric style.

“I’ve never been in a canoe. #Itsmy2cents,” he said in a typical tweet in 2015.

His Twitter account was essentially a revival of a USA Today column he wrote for two decades full of one-off, disjointed thoughts. Norm Macdonald delivered a parody version of the column when he played King on “Saturday Night Live,” with deadpan lines like, “The more I think about it, the more I appreciate the equator.”

King was constantly parodied, often through old-age jokes on late-night talk shows from hosts including David Letterman and Conan O’Brien, often appearing with the latter to get in on the roasting himself.

King came by his voracious but no-frills manner honestly.

He was born Lawrence Harvey Zeiger in 1933, a son of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe who ran a bar and grill in Brooklyn. But after his father’s death when Larry was a boy, he faced a troubled, sometimes destitute youth.

A fan of such radio stars as Arthur Godfrey and comedians Bob & Ray, King on reaching adulthood set his sights on a broadcasting career. With word that Miami was a good place to break in, he headed south in 1957 and landed a job sweeping floors at a tiny AM station. When a deejay abruptly quit, King was put on the air — and was handed his new surname by the station manager, who thought Zeiger “too Jewish.”

A year later he moved to a larger station, where his duties were expanded from the usual patter to serving as host of a daily interview show that aired from a local restaurant. He quickly proved equally adept at talking to the waitresses, and the celebrities who began dropping by.

By the early 1960s King had gone to yet a larger Miami station, scored a newspaper column and become a local celebrity himself.

At the same time, he fell victim to living large.

“It was important to me to come across as a ‘big man,”’ he wrote in his autobiography, which meant “I made a lot of money and spread it around lavishly.”

He accumulated debts and his first broken marriages (he was married eight times to seven women). He gambled, borrowed wildly and failed to pay his taxes. He also became involved with a shady financier in a scheme to bankroll an investigation of President John Kennedy’s assassination. But when King skimmed some of the cash to pay his overdue taxes, his partner sued him for grand larceny in 1971. The charges were dropped, but King’s reputation appeared ruined.

King lost his radio show and, for several years, struggled to find work. But by 1975 the scandal had largely blown over and a Miami station gave him another chance. Regaining his local popularity, King was signed in 1978 to host radio’s first nationwide call-in show.

Originating from Washington on the Mutual network, “The Larry King Show” was eventually heard on more than 300 stations and made King a national phenomenon.

A few years later, CNN founder Ted Turner offered King a slot on his young network. “Larry King Live” debuted on June 1, 1985, and became CNN’s highest-rated program. King’s beginning salary of $100,000 a year eventually grew to more than $7 million.

A three-packs-a-day cigarette habit led to a heart attack in 1987, but King’s quintuple-bypass surgery didn’t slow him down.

Meanwhile, he continued to prove that, in his words, “I’m not good at marriage, but I’m a great boyfriend.”

He was just 18 when he married high school girlfriend Freda Miller, in 1952. The marriage lasted less than a year. In subsequent decades he would marry Annette Kay, Alene Akins (twice), Mickey Sutfin, Sharon Lepore and Julie Alexander.

In 1997, he wed Shawn Southwick, a country singer and actress 26 years his junior. They would file for divorce in 2010, rescind the filing, then file for divorce again in 2019.

The couple had two sons — King’s fourth and fifth kids, Chance, born in 1999, and Cannon Edward, born in 2000. In 2020, King lost his two oldest children, Andy King and Chaia King, who died of unrelated health problems within weeks of each other.

He had many other medical issues in recent decades, including more heart attacks and diagnoses of type 2 diabetes and lung cancer.

Through his setbacks he continued to work into his late 80s, taking on online talk shows and infomercials as his appearances on CNN grew fewer.

“Work,” King once said. “It’s the easiest thing I do.”

Funeral arrangements and a memorial service will be announced later in coordination with the King family, “who ask for their privacy at this time,” according to the tweet from Ora Media.

Coronavirus: Fewer daily cases reported amid slow vaccine rollout

Sat, 23 Jan 2021 16:38:56 GMT

The number of new daily COVID-19 cases keeps declining in California, even as the rollout of the vaccine remains slow in the largest state in the country.

On Friday, counties reported 24,731 new cases of COVID-19 in California, according to data analyzed by this news organization. The state has a seven-day average of 29,122 new daily cases, the lowest average since Dec. 11, and down almost 35 percent from a recent peak on Jan. 10. The state has been experiencing one of the worst winter surges in the country, beginning in early November.

There have been 3.1 million cases of COVID-19 in California since the start of the pandemic.

The number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 also has declined recently — on Wednesday it was down 2.2 percent from the preceding day to 19,537 patients with confirmed cases. The number of patients in intensive care unit beds with confirmed cases of COVID-19 also declined on Wednesday by 0.3 percent, to 4,670. On Oct. 20, before the winter surge, the state had 2,348 patients hospitalized and 660 in ICU beds with COVID-19.

Deaths from COVID-19, which generally lag behind new cases, remain near record highs. On Friday, counties reported 594 deaths from the virus. The state has a seven-day average of 484 deaths — during California’s COVID-19 summer surge, the seven-day average of daily deaths peaked at 145 in early August. Since the start of the pandemic, 36,363 people have died from COVID-19 in California.

The positive case numbers come amid questions about California’s rollout of vaccinations for the coronavirus, one of the slowest in the nation. As of Friday, California has administered 1,795,174 doses of the vaccine, 45 percent of the 3,989,850 doses it has distributed to health departments and health entities, according to the state’s Department of Public Health. California has the vaccine slowest rollout of any U.S. state, according to an analysis by Bloomberg analysis of doses delivered to each state.

Most of the new cases in California were in Los Angeles County, the largest and hardest-hit in the state, which reported 8,781 new cases Friday. San Diego County reported 2,847 cases and Riverside County 2,544. They were followed by San Bernardino, Orange and Kern counties.

Los Angeles County also reported the most new deaths, with 253 fatalities on Friday, then San Diego County with 79 deaths and Riverside County with 38. That was followed by San Mateo, Fresno and Santa Clara counties.

Alameda County reported the most new cases on Friday, with 420 cases and 13 deaths, for a total of 69,527 cases and 855 deaths since the start of the pandemic. Santa Clara County reported 404 cases and 23 deaths for a total of 96,340 cases and 1,181 deaths. Contra Costa County reported 296 cases and six deaths for a total of 54,140 cases and 484 deaths.

San Mateo County had 261 new cases and 31 fatalities for a total of 33,468 cases and 340 deaths. San Francisco had 128 cases and one death for a total of 29,490 cases and 275 deaths during the pandemic.

San Jose Dance Theatre recovers some of its stolen costumes

Sat, 23 Jan 2021 15:00:54 GMT

After a truly terrible start to the year, there’s been some good news lately for San Jose Dance Theatre. You might remember that nearly 100 of the company’s handmade costumes were stolen when its storage space was broken into this month.

That amounted to thousands of dollars of work and threatened the upcoming May production of “The Sleeping Beauty,” not to mention future productions including San Jose’s longest-running version of “The Nutcracker.”

Artistic Director Linda Hurkmans says that on Jan. 19 a woman named Cynthia Trujillo-Houde saw something sparkly coming out of big black bags left in the street at Bernal Park, at Seventh and Hedding streets. Sixteen tutus were inside, and she posted the strange find on Next Door. Two people who were aware of the theft read her post and told her to contact San Jose Dance Theatre.

The recovered costumes included the legacy “Spanish” tutus from “The Nutcracker” and five “ribbon candy” tutus from that show that took Costume Director Renee Forbes four months to make. Unfortunately, only the bottoms were in the bag and the tunic tops are still missing.

“Of course, we are very happy to have these back but hope to recover more of the almost 100 costumes stolen,” Hurkmans said.

More good news is that $10,000 has been donated to the fund set up to replace the stolen costumes. You can contribute to the cause at www.sjdt.org/donate, and if you’re in the Northside area of San Jose, keep your eye out for any tulle fabric sticking out of suspicious bags. You just might make a ballerina very happy.

THE REST OF THE STORY: I recently wrote about the 50th anniversary of the first print appearance of the term “Silicon Valley,” and learned from David Laws, semiconductor curator at the Computer History Museum, that some stories are just too good to be true.

After Ralph Vaerst‘s death in 2001, his wife told my former Merc colleague Mike Cassidy that her husband was the guy who first said the magic words to Electronic News journalist Don Hoefler. But Laws talked to John Vincler, co-owner of Vincler Communications in Redwood City, who says it was a couple of marketing guys who put the Silicon Valley idea in Hoefler’s mind at a lunch in San Francisco. He went back to the office, changed the title of his piece to “Silicon Valley U.S.A.” and sent it off into history.

Vincler was working for Electronic News at the time says he tagged along on the lunch, which makes him a primary source. And Vincler told Laws that Vaerst was a friend of Hoefler’s and they often lunched at Walker’s Wagon Wheel in Mountain View but he was not at that particular meeting in S.F.

Given that all this happened in 1971 and it’s hard to get the story straight, it’s stunning anyone believes a word about the Peloponnesian War.

THE TIMING COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER: Wouldn’t you just know it? Guadalupe River Park Conservancy Executive Director Jason Su announced this week that the Rotary PlayGarden, the accessible playground that’s one of the park’s most popular features, would re-open starting Jan. 23. That’s right, just as an atmospheric river was dumping a boatload of much-needed rain on the South Bay.

But when the weather clears up, the PlayGarden still will be there. There are rules, of course, including masking, social distancing, a limit of 60 visitors at a time and a maximum visit of 30 minutes. I don’t know about yours, but my kids would raise heck about that last one so I’m glad they don’t wear watches. I’ll tell ’em it’s been an hour and they might buy it.

FAREWELL, BUT NOT GOODBYE: Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown‘s weekly column in the San Francisco Chronicle comes to an end this Sunday after running more than 12 years, but he told the Los Altos Rotary Club this week that he’s not necessarily riding off into the sunset.

“At some point, you will hear and see Willie Brown,” said Brown, who never has had a problem with being seen or heard. “You might even see me in another publication because I’m a great lover of newspapers. At almost 87 years of age, starting a new career is a challenge for anybody.”

Brown said he looks forward to the day when the pandemic has ended and he can return to San Francisco’s restaurants and other cultural attractions — in part to show off his new clothes.

“I have literally put together a whole new wardrobe,” the noted clotheshorse told the club on Thursday afternoon. “My late friend Wilkes Bashford would have loved it, but I don’t have anywhere to wear my clothing. I suspect on some days I may have to change clothes two or three times a day.”

BE LIKE AMANDA: OK, we are all still reeling from the powerful performance by National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman at the inauguration of President Joe Biden on Wednesday. The Harvard-educated, Los Angeles native show stealer put to words what so many people in this country were feeling.

But Janice Lobo Sapigao, Santa Clara County’s current poet laureate, knows Gorman is not the only young person in this country with a voice that demands to be heard. That’s why she is championing the Santa Clara County Youth Poet Laureate program, to create a community of younger voices.

“Youth are a vulnerable population in this current era we are living in,” she writes. “They are the ones staying home to protect us and keep us safe from COVID-19, they are the ones working and contributing to our local and national economies as essential workers, they are at school and meeting with friends through a social media app or computer screen. So much has been taken from them, but their voices will remind us to give back to them what they give us: hope.”

Home Brewing: How to grow hops in your garden

Sat, 23 Jan 2021 14:59:40 GMT

If you love the bitter, citrusy or floral notes of an India Pale Ale, you can thank hops for that: The cone-like flowers provide a bitter kick and balance the malty, sweet characteristics in any beer. They are especially prevalent in the more bitter beers.

And if you love brewing with hops, or just like drinking beer, you should know the plants are easy to grow in your backyard. The plants, perennials, leaf out every spring and usually put out pounds of buds in the late summer. Before Prohibition, Northern California was a hops hot bed. These days, they’re mainly grown in the Pacific Northwest, but many California home brewers have plants of their own — and you may have spotted Sacramento-based Ruhstaller Beer’s hops farm off Highway 80 near Davis.

Growing your own hops is as simple as acquiring a rhizome (a segment of hop plant root), planting it in the ground in early spring against something it can climb upon and making sure it gets adequate water and plenty of sunlight.

Getting started

Rhizomes can typically be ordered online or from some specialty home brew stores. More Beer in Los Altos, for example, offers Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and other types, and shipping is free. You’ll want to order or pre-order them in the next few weeks, and plant them in the early spring, after the last frost has finished.

Gary Glass, director of the American Homebrewers Association, says one of the most notable aspects of the plants is how quickly they can grow. The vine-like plants — or bines — can grow as much as a foot per day, he said. Hence the importance of planting them next to something climb-able.

“Commercial growers will grow them up to 18 feet tall, but for those of us who aren’t going to put up poles and string, you can use a trellis or anything that allows them to grow and keeps them off the ground,” he says. Leaving the bines on the ground makes them more susceptible to mold and diseases.

There’s a reason commercial growers want to keep them that large.

“The taller they get, the more hops they’ll produce,” says Ryan Burnett, who works at Star B Ranch and Hop Farm in Ramona, in eastern San Diego County. “An 18-foot hop vine will produce more than a 10-foot hop vine.”

Phillip Warren, who runs Hopportunity Farms, a pick-your-own hops operation in eastern San Diego County, recommends starting with just a few plants and choosing well-known varieties that do well in California, such as Cascade, Nugget or Magnum hops, to see how they fare. (Tap the experts at your local specialty home brew store or home brewers club for tips, though. We live in a land of microclimates.)

The plants need not only plenty of sun, but also plenty of water, says Warren, who gives each of his plants 3 to 4 gallons of water per week using a drip system that waters them every other day. There’s a fine line between enough water and too much, though, and overwatering can lead to root rot. Look at the ground: If the soil looks muddy or if there’s sitting water anywhere, you are overwatering.

Harvesting and beer making

The bines’ signature cone-shaped flowers are typically ready to be picked in August or September, but depending on weather and conditions, it’s possible to harvest early some years — and to do it twice.

Warren says he can get as much as 1.5 pounds from each of his hop plants. Homebrewer Robert Wise, who has grown hops in Long Beach and on Coronado Island, gets a couple of pounds per plant most seasons, but one year, he harvested 5 pounds from a plant.

“I pick the flowers as they come up,” he says, “and if you pick the plant completely bare in say, the end of June, early July, it’ll sprout a whole new batch of flowers by September.”

You don’t need a lot of hops for beer making. For a five-gallon brew, Wise uses half to a full ounce of hops. But hop buds need to dry before they can be added to beer. When Glass was growing his own hops, he’d set the buds on a window screen, placed on an elevated platform, so air could blow through them and dry them. Wise puts his hops in a tray and lets them dry in a sunny area.

At the end of the season, Wise cuts his hop plants down to the rhizomes so they can sprout again next year.

Mutiny at Justice Dept. halted Trump scheme to overturn Georgia

Sat, 23 Jan 2021 10:00:53 GMT

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department’s top leaders listened in stunned silence this month: One of their peers, they were told, had devised a plan with President Donald Trump to oust Jeffrey Rosen as acting attorney general and wield the department’s power to force Georgia state lawmakers to overturn its presidential election results.

The unassuming lawyer who worked on the plan, Jeffrey Clark, had been devising ways to cast doubt on the election results and to bolster Trump’s continuing legal battles and the pressure on Georgia politicians. Because Rosen had refused the president’s entreaties to carry out those plans, Trump was about to decide whether to fire Rosen and replace him with Clark.

The department officials, convened on a conference call, then asked one another: What will you do if Rosen is dismissed?

The answer was unanimous. They would resign.

Their informal pact ultimately helped persuade Trump to keep Rosen in place, calculating that a furor over mass resignations at the top of the Justice Department would eclipse any attention on his baseless accusations of voter fraud. Trump’s decision came only after Rosen and Clark made their competing cases to him in a bizarre White House meeting that two officials compared with an episode of Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice,” albeit one that could prompt a constitutional crisis.

The previously unknown chapter was the culmination of the president’s long-running effort to batter the Justice Department into advancing his personal agenda. He also pressed Rosen to appoint special counsels, including one who would look into Dominion Voting Systems, a maker of election equipment that Trump’s allies had falsely said was working with Venezuela to flip votes from Trump to Joe Biden.

This account of the department’s final days under Trump’s leadership is based on interviews with four former Trump administration officials who asked not to be named because of fear of retaliation.

Clark said that this account contained inaccuracies but did not specify, adding that he could not discuss any conversations with Trump or Justice Department lawyers because of “the strictures of legal privilege.” “Senior Justice Department lawyers, not uncommonly, provide legal advice to the White House as part of our duties,” he said. “All my official communications were consistent with law.”

Clark categorically denied that he devised any plan to oust Rosen or to formulate recommendations for action based on factual inaccuracies gleaned from the internet. “My practice is to rely on sworn testimony to assess disputed factual claims,” Clark said. “There was a candid discussion of options and pros and cons with the president. It is unfortunate that those who were part of a privileged legal conversation would comment in public about such internal deliberations, while also distorting any discussions.”

Clark also noted that he was the lead signatory on a Justice Department request last month asking a federal judge to reject a lawsuit that sought to pressure Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the results of the election.

Trump declined to comment. An adviser said that Trump has consistently argued that the justice system should investigate “rampant election fraud that has plagued our system for years.”

The adviser added that “any assertion to the contrary is false and being driven by those who wish to keep the system broken.” Clark agreed and said that “legal privileges” prevented him from divulging specifics regarding the conversation.

A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment, as did Rosen.

When Trump said on Dec. 14 that Attorney General William Barr was leaving the department, some officials thought that he might allow Rosen a short reprieve before pressing him about voter fraud. After all, Barr would be around for another week.

Instead, Trump summoned Rosen to the Oval Office the next day. He wanted the Justice Department to file legal briefs supporting his allies’ lawsuits seeking to overturn his election loss. And he urged Rosen to appoint special counsels to investigate not only unfounded accusations of widespread voter fraud but also Dominion, the voting machines firm.Rosen refused. He maintained that he would make decisions based on the facts and the law, and he reiterated what Barr had privately told Trump: The department had investigated voting irregularities and found no evidence of widespread fraud.

But Trump continued to press Rosen after the meeting — in phone calls and in person. He repeatedly said that he did not understand why the Justice Department had not found evidence that supported conspiracy theories about the election that some of his personal lawyers had espoused. He declared that the department was not fighting hard enough for him.

As Rosen and the deputy attorney general, Richard Donoghue, pushed back, they were unaware that Clark had been introduced to Trump by a Pennsylvania politician and had told the president that he agreed that fraud had affected the election results.

Trump quickly embraced Clark, who had been appointed the acting head of the civil division in September and was also the head of the department’s environmental and natural resources division.

As December wore on, Clark mentioned to Rosen and Donoghue that he spent a lot of time reading on the internet — a comment that alarmed them because they inferred that he believed the unfounded conspiracy theory that Trump had won the election. Clark also told them that he wanted the department to hold a news conference announcing that it was investigating serious accusations of election fraud. Rosen and Donoghue rejected the proposal.

As Trump focused increasingly on Georgia, a state he lost narrowly to Biden, he complained to Justice Department leaders that the U.S. attorney in Atlanta, Byung Pak, was not trying to find evidence for false election claims pushed by Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani and others. Donoghue warned Pak that the president was now fixated on his office and that it might not be tenable for him to continue to lead it, according to two people familiar with the conversation.

That conversation and Trump’s efforts to pressure Georgia’s Republican secretary of state to “find” him votes compelled Pak to abruptly resign this month.

Clark was also focused on Georgia. He drafted a letter that he wanted Rosen to send to Georgia state legislators that wrongly said that the Justice Department was investigating accusations of voter fraud in their state and that they should move to void Biden’s win there.

Rosen and Donoghue again rejected Clark’s proposal.

On New Year’s Eve, the trio met to discuss Clark’s refusal to hew to the department’s conclusion that the election results were valid. Donoghue flatly told Clark that what he was doing was wrong. The next day, Clark told Rosen — who had mentored him while they worked together at the law firm Kirkland & Ellis — that he was going to discuss his strategy with the president early the next week, just before Congress was set to certify Biden’s electoral victory.

Unbeknown to the acting attorney general, Clark’s timeline moved up. He met with Trump over the weekend, then informed Rosen midday Sunday that the president intended to replace him with Clark, who could then try to stop Congress from certifying the Electoral College results. He said that Rosen could stay on as his deputy attorney general, leaving Rosen speechless.

Unwilling to step down without a fight, Rosen said that he needed to hear straight from Trump and worked with the White House counsel, Pat Cipollone, to convene a meeting for early that evening. Even as Clark’s pronouncement was sinking in, stunning news broke out of Georgia: State officials had recorded an hourlong call, published by The Washington Post, during which Trump pressured them to manufacture enough votes to declare him the victor. As the fallout from the recording ricocheted through Washington, the president’s desperate bid to change the outcome in Georgia came into sharp focus.

Rosen and Donoghue pressed ahead, informing Steven Engel, the head of the Justice Department’s office of legal counsel, about Clark’s latest maneuver. Donoghue convened a late-afternoon call with the department’s remaining senior leaders, laying out Clark’s efforts to replace Rosen.

Rosen planned to soon head to the White House to discuss his fate, Donoghue told the group. Should Rosen be fired, they all agreed to resign en masse. For some, the plan brought to mind the so-called Saturday Night Massacre of the Nixon era, where Attorney General Elliot Richardson and his deputy resigned rather than carry out the president’s order to fire the special prosecutor investigating him.

The Clark plan, the officials concluded, would seriously harm the department, the government and the rule of law. For hours, they anxiously messaged and called one another as they awaited Rosen’s fate.

Around 6 p.m., Rosen, Donoghue and Clark met at the White House with Trump, Cipollone, his deputy Patrick Philbin and other lawyers. Trump had Rosen and Clark present their arguments to him.

Cipollone advised the president not to fire Rosen and he reiterated, as he had for days, that he did not recommend sending the letter to Georgia lawmakers. Engel advised Trump that he and the department’s remaining top officials would resign if he fired Rosen, leaving Clark alone at the department.

Trump seemed somewhat swayed by the idea that firing Rosen would trigger not only chaos at the Justice Department but also congressional investigations and possibly recriminations from other Republicans and distract attention from his efforts to overturn the election results.

After nearly three hours, Trump ultimately decided that Clark’s plan would fail, and he allowed Rosen to stay.

Rosen and his deputies concluded they had weathered the turmoil. Once Congress certified Biden’s victory, there would be little for them to do until they left along with Trump in two weeks.

They began to exhale days later as the Electoral College certification at the Capitol got underway. And then they received word: The building had been breached.

Harriette Cole: I’m so tired of smelling marijuana in my home

Sat, 23 Jan 2021 10:00:01 GMT

DEAR HARRIETTE: I wake up almost every morning to the smell of weed. I knew my husband smoked — he has since before we got married — but it has gotten out of control since we have been stuck at home.

Harriette Cole

I hate waking up to that smell. As it is, just walking down the street in my neighborhood, in a city where marijuana is still illegal, I see people smoking out in the open. It stinks, but that’s outside. I am so tired of smelling it in my home.

I have asked my husband not to smoke all the time, but that isn’t working. He just rolls his eyes and gets mad.

We live in an apartment, so he has nowhere to go outside to smoke. What should I do?

No More Weed

DEAR NO MORE WEED: Try talking to your husband about when he smokes. If the morning is what irks you the most, ask him not to smoke first thing in the morning, as it negatively impacts the start to your day. Tell him that if he loves you, he should try to accommodate you — at least some of the time.

You may also want to invest in a device that draws smoke out of the air. Smoke removal devices exist at all price points and may provide relief.

DEAR HARRIETTE: One of the horrible side effects of being in quarantine for nearly a year now is that my husband and I are not getting along. We have always argued about this or that, but things have gotten a lot worse. I feel like I never know what the morning will bring.

In the past few weeks, I have noticed that I could say one wrong thing and he will just start yelling at me, seemingly for no reason. I am walking on eggshells, unsure of what to say — or not say — to him because I don’t feel like arguing. I am not a passive person; I just want peace. I know my husband will not go to therapy, especially now when he is not leaving the house. What can I do to make things more positive at home?

Tired of Arguing

DEAR TIRED OF ARGUING: Sadly, quarantine has dramatically and negatively impacted many households. It is hard to be confined to a small space for what seems like an interminable period of time. Added to the quarantine are all of the other stressors that people are dealing with. You didn’t say what your husband’s work situation is, but some people are stressed out because they have lost jobs or their jobs have been diminished. Many are worried about finances and health.

Think about what may be bothering your husband. Through a compassionate perspective, consider what his issues are. Then tell him you want to have a discussion. Be positive, not combative. Tell him that you have noticed that your interactions have been very testy of late, and you are concerned. Ask him if anything specific is bothering him. Listen carefully. If he says he doesn’t know what you are talking about, tell him you would like to give a couple of examples. Share your examples, and tell your husband how his words and tone make you feel.

Tell him that you want to find a way that the two of you can be kinder to each other. Note that this period has been difficult for you, but that you want to find a way to communicate. Ask him if he is willing to try. Be mindful not to place blame. Instead, request that you work together to be more thoughtful.

Miss Manners: Why would she hide her pregnancy while I was giving daily updates about mine?

Sat, 23 Jan 2021 09:30:22 GMT

DEAR MISS MANNERS: My husband and I were thrilled when I became pregnant — in particular, because the baby would be my parents’ first grandchild, something that they’ve been looking quite forward to.

I’m generally a very shy person, but as a consequence of their excitement, I made an effort to celebrate each step of my pregnancy with my family, including sharing sonograms, pictures and daily developments.

However, after my baby shower, and much to my surprise, my brother’s wife suddenly revealed that she, too, was expecting, and that her baby was scheduled to be delivered just days before mine. Why she’d concealed her pregnancy for so long, or how she’d been able to do so, have brought up countless questions, none of which have been answered.

My parents are ecstatic over the news, if not a little overwhelmed. While I am happy for my sister-in-law and brother, I feel ridiculous that they let me amplify my pregnancy for so long while making no mention of their own.

Is it too much to press them for an explanation, if not an apology?

GENTLE READER: For what exactly would your brother and sister-in-law be apologizing?

That you felt ridiculous, Miss Manners understands, but to demand an explanation for not wanting to update their relatives 270+ times in a year is unfair. In fact, this couple should be commended for their discretion and in granting you the spotlight, even if it was in the name of gratifying grandparental excitement. (And are you certain that their being overwhelmed is not at the prospect of now being doubly inundated with baby stimuli?)

There is a current and prevailing thought that public advertising of personal events should not be shamed. The same courtesy should be granted for those who wish to keep it private.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: Sadly, these days it’s not unusual to receive requests for prayer, action or positive thoughts for people going through difficulties. When one hasn’t heard any more about the situation in a week or two — is the person out of the hospital or improving? Has a new job been found? Does the family perhaps need a meal? — is there a polite way to inquire how things are?

Often, I’ll make a statement rather than ask a question, such as, “You’re still in my thoughts, and I hope things have improved for you. My offer of assistance still stands.” But I don’t get a response, and am still in the dark.

If the situation is still dire, I don’t want to intrude, but if the need has passed and I could be helpful to others, I’d like to move on.

GENTLE READER: There is no need to make these actions mutually exclusive. If those in need are able to ask for help, presumably they will reach out again if there is further necessity. In the meantime, Miss Manners assures you that you may safely otherwise direct your thoughts, prayers and generous deeds to others who may require it –whether they specifically reach out or not.

Please send your questions to Miss Manners at her website, www.missmanners.com; to her email, dearmissmanners@gmail.com; or through postal mail to Miss Manners, Andrews McMeel Syndication, 1130 Walnut St., Kansas City, MO 64106.

Dear Abby: I’m afraid my neighbors will get mad if I mention the noise

Sat, 23 Jan 2021 09:00:00 GMT

DEAR ABBY: New neighbors moved into my apartment building about a month ago. I don’t mind that sometimes I hear their kids. I don’t mind that sometimes I hear the adults.

Jeanne Phillips

But! Their alarm clock wakes me up every morning at 6 a.m. It’s loud, and I’m guessing it’s up against the adjoining wall.

Normally, I sleep until 8. I work from home, and I’m usually up until 1 a.m. or so. I’m a night owl, and I simply can’t go to sleep any earlier.

It’s impossible to sleep through their alarm. It has been weeks.

I am afraid if I complain they will call me a racist since I am White, and they are Black. But it’s not a race thing; it’s a sleep thing. What should I do?

SLEEPLESS IN BALTIMORE

DEAR SLEEPLESS: Write a polite note to the new neighbors and introduce yourself. Explain the problem you are experiencing and ask if they can help you by either moving their alarm clock to a different part of their bedroom or adjusting the ring to make it softer. (It could be as simple as placing their clock on a soft surface like a towel.) If they are unwilling to cooperate, as a last resort try earplugs and talk to the building manager about the noise problem.

DEAR ABBY: I have been a nurse for 10 years and love taking care of my patients. I have worked at a midsize hospital for 2½ years.

Since I started working here, we have been assigned six or seven patients at a time, although I was told when I was hired they were going to hire enough nurses to have a 4-to-1 ratio. It not only hasn’t happened, but the administration keeps piling on paperwork for the nurses to complete.

I have anxiety, and this is about to cause me to break. I love my job, and I don’t want to leave. I just wish they would be more considerate of their nurses instead of making them feel like I do right now, which is wanting to find something else.

Should I say something to my charge nurse about how I’m feeling? I’m afraid if I do, I’ll be pushed out of this job. Adding to my anxiety is that my daughter now works at the same facility, and I’m afraid if I say anything they will punish her. Please offer me your advice.

ANXIOUS R.N. IN ALABAMA

DEAR ANXIOUS R.N.: Because you feel the stress is becoming too much, I do think you should address it with your charge nurse. It’s the truth. Because the pandemic has increased the workload on all medical caregivers, you are far from alone in feeling overwhelmed.

When you speak up, do not couch it in terms of the fact that your employers haven’t followed through on their promises. Do it strictly in terms of the effect it is having on you. I doubt you will be fired, because experienced nurses are in such high demand right now. However, if you are let go and your daughter is questioned about it, all she should say is that the workload and the stress became too much for you. Speaking your truth should be no reflection on her.

Kirill Kaprizov’s dazzling shot attempt evokes memories of a young Tomas Hertl

Sat, 23 Jan 2021 05:21:19 GMT

Minnesota Wild rookie sensation Kirill Kaprizov looked like a young Tomas Hertl during one dazzling moment Friday night against the San Jose Sharks.

Midway though the third period, Kaprizov was carrying the puck up one side of the ice with one arm as he was fighting off a check from Sharks winger Marcus Sorensen.

As he was cutting in and approaching the Sharks’ net, Kaprizov then moved the puck in front of him, slid it between his skates and attempted a between-the-legs shot that goalie Devan Dubnyk barely got a piece of to knock wide.

Dubnyk made 25 saves as the Sharks lost the game 4-1. But that stop stood out.

“Honestly, I can’t believe he made that move,” Dubnyk said. “Like that’s one of those plays that you just thank god I got a piece of it, because it’s like a nightmare when somebody makes a move that’s that slick and then puts it in the back of the net.

“Then you’ve got 365 days to watch it over and over and over again on the highlights. So pretty impressive move and really fortunate I was able to stop that one because you don’t want to be on the receiving end of those.”

Kaprizov’s attempted dangle evoked memories of Hertl’s spectacular goal, and night, on Oct. 8, 2013 against the New York Rangers.

In just his third NHL game, Hertl, who had already recorded a hat trick, added a fourth goal as he scored with a shot from between his legs on Rangers goalie Martin Biron.

It turned out to be Biron’s last NHL game.

Kaprizov, 23, already looks like one of the favorites for the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s rookie of the year. The Sharks held him off the scoresheet Friday, but Kaprizov had five points in his first four games, including the game-winning goal Jan. 14 in Minnesota’s 4-3 overtime win over the Los Angeles Kings.

5 big thoughts about ‘Resident Evil’ showcase and Maiden demo

Sat, 23 Jan 2021 04:00:43 GMT

Capcom is celebrating the 25th anniversary of “Resident Evil” in style with major events across the board. That was highlighted in a January showcase this week that spotlighted “Resident Evil Village.”

The upcoming installment to the franchise got a May 7, 2021, release date. Capcom also showed off different versions including Deluxe and Collector’s editions, but more importantly, the showcase revealed more information about the next chapter in the survival-horror franchise.

Along with fresh details, Capcom announced wider promotions across Netflix and other games. Here are five quick thoughts on the “Resident Evil: Village” Maiden demo and the other pieces of news.

Expect the random puzzles in “Residentn Evil Village.” (Capcom)

1. The “Resident Evil Village” Maiden Demo mainly shows off the tech — Capcom’s RE Engine has shown that it can create realistic visuals with “Resident Evil 7: Biohazard” and the developers push the tech in the demo. It runs buttery smooth on the PlayStation 5 and it shows what the latest generation consoles can do with lighting.

One of the most impressive moments was escaping the dungeon and stepping into a circular room filled with bas relief sculptures. They jump out of the walls and the brazier in the center shows how the light dances across the intricate figures.

The other notable lighting tricks come in the castle. The RE engine shows that it can produce ray tracing in subtle ways in the floor and some tables. I also appreciated the way the light casts a convincing glow along the wood surfaces. All of this improves the immersion and makes the creepy locale inhabited by Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters even more real. It’s a demo that’s great for people who love video game eye candy.

The names of four families are seen on a wall in “Resident Evil Village” along with the Umbrella Corporation logo. (Capcom)

2. The demo is thin on gameplay but offers some lore — Because the Maiden demo is a visual showcase, players shouldn’t expect much action until the end. It’s mostly a tour of what the game will look like. At the most, players will run across puzzle elements.

As the Maiden, players discover a note before escaping a dungeon cell. The scrap of paper offers obtuse directions, but that will lead players to a bolt cutter that opens up doors and that
in turn reveals the path to a key and a way to escape. Similar to previous entries, players can examine items and that’s necessary to find important clues.

While searching the castle, players will find a piece of lore about the owners of the locale. They run across a music player with a record called Danse Macabre, a reference to the allegory popular in the late Middle Ages. More historical references are found in a notebook that talks about the history of Castle Dimitrescu.

The building, established by Alcina Dimitrescu, was the center for winemaking. The flagship wine they make is called Sanguis Virginis, which translates to “maiden’s blood.” That doesn’t sound very appetizing if you think about it.

Lastly, Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters all appear mutated and have different abilities. One daughter appears to be made of moths while the mother has knives for fingers and likely kills the maiden at the end of the demo. Thankfully, that’s not the final word on the game. Another demo will be available for all platforms in the spring.

Ethan Winters has new defensive moves in “Resident Evil Village” including the ability to block and kick away enemies. The lighting heightens the realism and scares in “Resident Evil Village.” (Capcom)

3. Important things not seen in the demo — Although there isn’t any combat in the demo, the showcase did reveal new wrinkles to that part of “Resident Evil Village.” Ethan Winters, the protagonist of the last entry, now has a block that can guard against attacks. He can kick enemies away if they get too close in order to buy time to gather himself.

The environment has destructible pieces such a red barrel that, yes, explodes and pots that hide items. I suspect Link would approve of this.

The item management system apparently resembles “Resident Evil 4.” Players can rotate and move items so that they fit in a tight inventory space. The other nod to that game is a new merchant dubbed “The Duke.” He’s a corpulent man who buys and sells items, offers customization options and barters for crafting consumables.

4. Capcom is still trying to make a multiplayer “Resident Evil” happen — The company has inexplicable fascination with turning the survival-horror franchise into an online experience. They’ve tried it with “Resident Evil : Operation Raccoon City,” “Umbrella Corps,” “Resident Evil Resistance,” “Resident Evil 5” and “Resident Evil 6.”

Capcom is trying again with “Resident Evil Re:Verse.” It’s a free multiplayer experience coming to the previous generation consoles and PC. Those who purchase “Resident Evil Village” will have access to the game. The publisher describes it as deathmatch experience starring an “all-star cast of fan-favorite” characters. It has an interesting comic-book art style and the maps are set in iconic series locations.

Although it looks like it will be fun, I’m not sure if it will have the staying power of other online games.

5. The “Resident Evil” celebration has crossovers and goes multimedia — One of the surprising parts of the showcase was that Ubisoft is collaborating with Capcom and offering outfit items inspired by the franchise in “Tom Clancy’s The Division 2.” Players can pick up weapon skins, arm patches and backpack trophies in addition to clothing.

The event runs from Feb. 2 to Feb. 15 and those who log in during that time will receive Leon Kennedy RPD 3-piece outfit. I’m a fan of the game and I’m looking forward to roaming around Washington, D.C. as a Raccoon City survivor.

The other big piece of news is that “Resident Evil” is getting the Netflix treatment. The CGI movie called “Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness” takes places a few years after “Resident Evil 4” and will star Claire Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy. The two previously appeared in “Resident Evil 2.” It makes me wonder if the property will actually be canon.

Minnesota Wild spoil homecomings for Devan Dubnyk, Ryan Donato

Sat, 23 Jan 2021 03:40:12 GMT

Devan Dubnyk didn’t have the homecoming he was looking for in his return to the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn. on Friday night.

Dubnyk made 25 saves but allowed goals to Joel Eriksson Ek and Zach Parise as the Sharks lost 4-1 to the Minnesota Wild.

Matt Nieto, who signed as a free agent with San Jose in October, scored his first goal of the season at the 6:12 mark of the first period. But goaltenders Cam Talbot and Kaapo Kahkonen combined to make 28 saves as the Wild (4-1-0) took the opener of the two-game series that wraps up Sunday. Kahkonen replaced an injured Talbot after the first period.

The Sharks went 0-for-3 on the power play Friday as they still have not won consecutive games this season. The Sharks were 0-for-7 with the man advantage Wednesday in their 2-1 shootout win over the St. Louis Blues.

Defenseman Erik Karlsson assisted on Nieto’s goal, but the Sharks top six forwards were silenced for the second straight game. Minnesota was credited with 24 blocked shots Friday and got their sticks and bodies into Sharks passing lanes all game long.

Sharks coach Bob Boughner shook up his forward lines for the third period, but Kahkonen made nine saves to preserve the win between the new division rivals.

“I think the difference is our power play at crucial times needs to get us one there,” Boughner said. “Minnesota’s a pretty good penalty kill team, but we didn’t generate a lot of emotion from our power play. Especially when we had chances, we didn’t capitalize on our chances.

“We need more from the big guys. We got another goal from Matt Nieto on that fourth line, and we need our best players be our best players.”

Dubnyk played six seasons for the Wild from 2014 to 2020 when he had a combined record of 177-113-28 in 328 regular season games. After Dubnyk had a down 2019-2020 season, the Sharks (2-3-0) acquired him and a 2022 seventh round draft pick for a 2022 fifth round pick.

Dubnyk’s family, which calls Minnesota home, was in attendance Friday — thanks to some help from Parise — as only a few dozen spectators were allowed into the building. He and Ryan Donato, who played 1 1/2 seasons with the Wild before he was acquired by the Sharks on the same day Dubnyk was picked up, both received video tributes.

“I knew it was going to be weird,” Dubnyk said. “For many reasons. Obviously coming back, but not having fans. I just wanted to go out and try to play and felt good.

“I had to sit myself down after the first and just tell myself to relax. I was a little fired up and overthinking stuff and I just wanted to give the guys a good chance.”

Donato had five shots on goal in his return to St. Paul.

Bus heading to Grand Canyon crashes, killing at least 1

Sat, 23 Jan 2021 02:21:58 GMT

By Jacques Billeaud and Felicia Fonseca | Associated Press

PHOENIX — A Las Vegas-based tour bus heading to the Grand Canyon rolled over in northwestern Arizona on Friday, killing one person and critically injuring two others, authorities said.

The cause of the wreck around noon Friday was not yet known, said Anita Mortensen, a spokeswoman for the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office. It wasn’t clear if any other vehicle was involved. A photo from the sheriff’s office showed the bus on its side on a curving road, with no snow or rain in the remote area.

There were 48 people on the bus, including the driver, authorities said. After the crash, 44 people were sent to Kingman Regional Medical Center, including two flown by medical helicopter, spokeswoman Teri Williams said. All the others were treated for minor injuries, she said.

Mortensen said two people were critically injured.

The bus was heading to Grand Canyon West, about 2 1/2 hours from Las Vegas and outside the boundaries of the national park. The tourist destination sits on the Hualapai reservation and is best known for the Skywalk, a glass bridge that juts out 70 feet from the canyon walls and gives visitors a view of the Colorado River 4,000 feet below.

Before the pandemic, about 1 million people a year visited Grand Canyon West, mostly through tours booked out of Las Vegas. The Hualapai reservation includes 108 miles of the Grand Canyon’s western rim. In addition to the Skywalk, it has helicopter tours, horseback rides and a one-day whitewater rafting trip on the Colorado River.

The Hualapai reservation also has a road to the Colorado River where rafters who have permits through the national park can get on and off trips.

It’s also near where four Chinese nationals died in 2016 when their van collided with a Dallas Cowboys staff bus headed to a preseason promotional stop in Las Vegas.

In 2009, a tour bus carrying Chinese nationals overturned on U.S. 93 near the Hoover Dam, killing several people and injuring others. The group was returning from a trip to Grand Canyon.

Federal investigators cited driver inattention as the probable cause of the crash. The bus driver was attempting to fix a problem with airflow through his door before the crash and became distracted, then veered off the road and overcorrected before crossing a median and overturning. Most of the passengers were ejected. The tour guide and six Chinese tourists were killed.

John MacDonald, a spokesman for the Hualapai tribe, did not immediately have any further information about Friday’s wreck. National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Keith Holloway said he didn’t immediately have more details about the crash or about NTSB involvement.

A spokeswoman for Grand Canyon West did not immediately return messages seeking more information.

Fonseca reported from Flagstaff. Associated Press reporters Ken Ritter and Michelle L. Price in Las Vegas, Terry Tang in Phoenix and AP/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative corps member Sam Metz in Carson City, Nevada, contributed.
