Avalanche Journal: Are Stanley Cup Playoffs proving Colorado’s idle trade deadline to be smart?

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:24:07 GMT

Before casting aspersions on the Avalanche front office for its lack of 2023 trade deadline deals, it might be wise to observe other playoff results.Colorado’s early elimination against scrappy Seattle was unexpected and unacceptable for a team with proven championship credentials, but at least it didn’t cost as much as New York’s first-round exit. Or Boston’s, or Tampa’s.The Rangers, Bruins and Lightning were three of the heavy spenders at the trade deadline in March. Turns out rentals were a waste of time this year.Boston’s Game 7 overtime loss to the Florida Panthers — the same night Colorado’s season ended — would have been a historic upset even if the Bruins had done nothing at the deadline. But with Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci already on expiring contracts, the winningest team in NHL regular-season history went all-in. It landed Tyler Bertuzzi from Detroit and Dmitri Orlov and Garnet Hathaway from Washington. All thre...

LOS ANGELES  — The calendar may show spring is halfway to summer, but it’s still snowing in California.In the Sierra Nevada, the Heavenly ski resort at Lake Tahoe reported Wednesday that 15 inches (38 centimeters) of snow had fallen over 48 hours, burnishing the epic snowpack left by a relentlessly wet winter.Northwest of Tahoe, 5.5 inches (14 centimeters) was recorded over two days at the University of California, Berkeley, Central Sierra Snow Lab, raising its season total to 743 inches (18.8 meters).RELATED: Snow damaged Lake Tahoe-area campgrounds won’t open for Memorial DayStrikingly, winter weather advisories were to take effect Wednesday night in Southern California mountain ranges.

Nordstrom is the latest retailer to leave San Francisco

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:24:07 GMT

By Jordan Valinsky | CNNNordstrom is closing both of its stores in downtown San Francisco, citing the changing “dynamics” of the area that hasn’t recovered since the pandemic and has been in the spotlight for crime.The two locations are a 312,000-square-foot, five-floor Nordstrom department store at the Westfield mall and a Rack, its discount outlet, across the street on Market Street. Both locations will close in the summer with the upscale chain department store explaining in a memo to employees that it’s letting the stores’ leases expire.RELATED: What’s really going on with crime in San Francisco?“Decisions like this are never easy, and this one has been especially difficult,” wrote Jamie Nordstrom, Nordstrom’s chief stores officer, in a memo obtained by CNN. “But as many of you know, the dynamics of the downtown San Francisco market have changed dramatically over the past several years, impacting customer foot traffic t...

Opinion: Psychiatric detentions unlikely to improve anyone’s mental health

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:24:07 GMT

Another mental health bill is before the California Senate, passed by the judiciary committee on April 25. This bill, backed by some urban mayors, would make it easier to forcibly treat more people. It comes on the heels of CARE Court, a program rolling out this year that broadened state powers to impose psychiatric care.Promoters of forced treatment often push a well-known tale: Since the 1950s, many state hospital asylums have closed, and strict, rights-protecting mental health laws emerged. Today, the story goes, practically no one gets compelled into psychiatric care even if they’re extremely dangerous. As a result, streets overflow with mentally ill people.That narrative makes it seem reasonable to broaden laws to forcibly treat more people for mental disorders as a way to reduce homelessness. But this story disguises the fact that rates of detentions and forced treatment have been rising in the United States for decades without achieving measurable improvements on mental healt...

What’s really going on with crime in San Francisco?

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:24:07 GMT

Analysis by Zachary B. Wolf |CNNAnother big American retailer announced it was pulling out of downtown San Francisco.Nordstrom blamed flagging foot traffic and the “dynamics of the downtown San Francisco market” when it announced it would not renew the lease on its massive retail location as well as its discount outlet in the heart of the city.Numerous other brands have also said they will pull out of the area. In April, Whole Foods temporarily shut a flagship store that opened just last year, citing worker safety.What’s happening in San Francisco has become a key storyline in a larger national narrative about crime and perceptions of crime.It’s a storyline that CNN reporter Kyung Lah experienced back in March when she and a crew went to San Francisco to report on how crime has scrambled the city’s politics. Last November, voters in the majority-Asian American Sunset District replaced a progressive Chinese American incumbent for supervisor with a modera...

Opinion: This federal debt-limit standoff could be really disastrous

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:24:07 GMT

I have one message for those observing or involved in the standoff over raising the U.S. federal debt limit: Be afraid, be very afraid. At this point in the financial and economic cycle, the consequences of failing to reach a deal would be particularly dire.The risks that a political impasse will force the U.S. government to renege on its obligations keeps rising as time marches on with no negotiation or progress. Worse, both sides’ positions appear to be hardening. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s ability to pass a budget bill (by the thinnest of margins) has strengthened Republicans’ belief that they can win concessions from the Biden administration — concessions that are actually anathema to the latter.The Republican legislation would undo several of Biden’s major policy initiatives, including student loan forgiveness and funding for the Internal Revenue Service to improve tax compliance. It would add new work requirements for programs such as Medicaid and slash domestic discretion...

She was on a boating excursion hosted by her workplace, a San Francisco non-profit called Mission Neighborhood Centers Inspiring Success.The Children Service’s Intake Specialist decided she would not be swimming that day.
