How Jamal Murray lit a halftime fire under the Nuggets: “We need our guys to speak”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:19:15 GMT

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Nuggets coach Michael Malone was frustrated and dumbfounded before he perked up at the sound of cuss words.On the way back to the halftime locker room Wednesday night, after the Nuggets had sleep-walked through the first two quarters and were actually down two to the hometown Wizards, Malone trailed Jamal Murray in the hallway when he heard some encouraging words.“We’re (BS-ing) right now,” Malone recounted hearing from his star point guard after the Nuggets bludgeoned Washington in the second half to seize a 118-104 win.Malone heard his fiery playmaker raise his voice and question the effort and intensity they’d just displayed.With nine games left in the regular season, the first half was hardly the type of basketball that would engender any optimism heading into the playoffs. And yet, Malone was heartened by the fact that one of his two star players felt compelled to raise their voice and criticize.“I thought he was a leader tonight,” Malone said. “… We need our...

'My second tow truck this month': Potholes a recurring headache for Southern California drivers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:19:15 GMT

After months of rainstorms and flooding, potholes have appeared or worsened on Southern California streets and freeways, damaging vehicles and snarling traffic.Multiple cars were damaged on the 210 Freeway Wednesday night near the Baldwin Avenue exit, just hours after similar issues that morning.A driver named Adam said his family has experienced multiple issues with potholes on the freeway."They patch it, and it goes away," he said. "More potholes. My wife had one this month earlier, so this is my second tow truck this month on the 210 Freeway, and it probably won't be the last, so that is really frustrating."Earlier this week, the 71 Freeway in Pomona experienced similar issues near the Holt Avenue exit.Repairing the damage done by potholes can be costly — about $600, according to AAA — and while that is usually covered by car insurance, it may not be worth filing a claim if you have a high deductible. Instead, drivers can file a claim with the government. Caltrans, which handles...

Forever Endeavor — Genevieve Artadi’s Forever Forever is a love album for the ages

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:19:15 GMT

Forever Endeavor: The last time we spoke to L.A. artist Genevieve Artadi was in August 2020. The pandemic was six months in and still raging, and showing no signs of letting up. Concerts were on hold, along with the rest of our lives. The whole thing feels like a fever dream.Artadi had just released the Dizzy Strange Summer album which, while written prior to the pandemic, offered an ideal soundtrack to the trauma. It felt both relevant and soothing. The new album Forever Forever is different but similar in that regard.“I recorded the album in Mexico,” Artadi says, via a phone interview. “We went to this beautiful studio called El Desierto, and it’s just the most gorgeous place ever. But we had to cut the first session short because we got COVID. We went home, and recorded the rest of the album. Because we were on such a time crunch and I wanted it to have a live feeling, and a unified sound which is really different from Dizzy Strange Summer, we were recording things three people a...

Prescription for housing? California wants Medicaid to cover 6 months of rent

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:19:15 GMT

By Angela Hart | Kaiser Health NewsSACRAMENTO  — Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose administration is struggling to contain a worsening homelessness crisis despite record spending, is trying something bold: tapping federal health care funding to cover rent for homeless people and those at risk of losing their housing.States are barred from using federal Medicaid dollars to pay directly for rent, but California’s governor is asking the administration of President Joe Biden, a fellow Democrat, to authorize a new program called “transitional rent,” which would provide up to six months of rent or temporary housing for low-income enrollees who rely on the state’s health care safety net — a new initiative in his arsenal of programs to fight and prevent homelessness.“I’ve been talking to the president. We cannot do this alone,” Newsom told KHN.The governor is pushing California’s version of Medicaid, called Medi-Cal, to fund experimental housing subsidies for homeless people, betting that it’s cheap...

Q: I’m sending you the response I wish I could have sent directly to Robert Flanagan (featured in Roadshow on March 17). I lived in the Bay Area for over 50 years. This made me so sad. I would pay for the memorial outside Safeway on Hamilton Avenue.Lisa Johnson, Coeur d’Alene, IdahoA: And her follow-up…Q: Dear Robert, What an inconvenience to you and neighbors for what you think is an unsightly memorial. You didn’t elaborate on why the site is problematic, just that neighbors are tired of it. I’m pretty sure the parents, family, and friends of 24-year-old Manny Huizar, whose precious life was cut short trying to stop a shoplifter at the store, are not.What about a kind gesture from you and your neighbors, offering to work with Safeway to establish a plaque, plant, or something that honors Manny’s life in his community, in place of the site? If you and your Silicon Valley neighbors can’t afford it, I’ll pay for it.Lisa JohnsonA: Here is what Colin-a-San Jose-s...
