SAN JOSE — Burlington Coat Factory has signed a lease to occupy a big store site in San Jose, taking space in a building that would also accommodate a Sprouts Farmers Market, according to public documents.The two retailers would each occupy big chunks of a San Jose building at 375 North Capitol Avenue that totals 99,500 square feet, public records and a marketing brochure show.The expansion efforts by the merchants offer a hopeful counterpoint to the dismal drumbeat of cutbacks by corporations and retailers in parts of the Bay Area, especially San Francisco.Burlington Coat Factory has leased about 30,300 square feet in a section of that building, the real estate records on file with Santa Clara County officials show. A memorandum of the signed lease was filed with the county Recorder’s Office this month.Sprouts Farmers Market is eyeing about 24,000 square feet in the same building in a space that would be next to the Burlington site.The rental deal involving Sprouts was ...San Jose: Pedestrian killed in overnight collision was a minor, police say

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 13:49:13 GMT
In the name of greater transparency, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is looking to rewrite some of the basic rules that have long governed the world-class venture capital market in the United States. If the new regulations take effect, however, the result won’t be greater transparency, but increased costs that will lead to undesirable concentration in the VC industry and a steep contraction in capital for startups.To top it off, the SEC move would deal a blow to the slow but measurable progress the VC industry has made in recent years to open its ranks to woefully underrepresented demographic groups. For the sake of maintaining innovation as the engine of U.S. economic growth, SEC Chair Gary Gensler must call off this ill-advised rulemaking.VC firms generally raise their capital from highly sophisticated investors — pension funds, university endowments, foundations and family offices. These investors (i.e., limited partners) often commit to providing funding...Air India plane flying to San Francisco lands in Russia's Siberia after engine problem

NEW DELHI (AP) — An Air India plane flying from New Delhi to San Francisco landed in Russia after it developed an engine problem, officials said on Wednesday.The plane, a Boeing 777 carrying 216 passengers and 16 crew members, landed safely at Russia’s Magadan airport in Siberia in the country’s far east on Tuesday, Air India said in a statement.The flight "developed a technical issue with one of its engines,” the statement said, adding that the aircraft was undergoing safety checks and the passengers were being provided support on the ground.Vedant Patel, a U.S. State Department spokesman, said that American citizens were likely on the flight but could not immediately confirm how many. He said his understanding was that Air India would be sending a replacement aircraft to Russia so the passengers could continue their travel to the U.S."We are continuing to monitor the situation,” Patel said.Girvaan Kaahma, 16, was traveling on the flight with his uncle and brother. He said they are...UPDATE: Special session ends as budget bill passes in Nevada Legislature

UPDATE: The Nevada Legislature completed a special session in less than the four hours ordered by Gov. Joe Lombardo, approving Assembly Bill 1 to finish the state budget Tuesday night. One Republican — Scott Hammond — joined Democrats in backing the bill in the Senate, and three Republicans supported the bill in the Assembly — P.K. O’Neill, Danielle Gallant and Rich DeLong. Republicans in the Senate narrowly missed blocking passage again, but Hammond’s vote provided the 14-7 margin needed (two-thirds majority) to pass the bill and send it to Lombardo.Shortly after the Legislature ended, Lombardo ordered a second special session to convene at 10 a.m. Wednesday to consider a bill providing funds for the construction of the A’s stadium on the Las Vegas Strip.

Nice Memorial/Senator Thomas ‘Mac’ Middleton Bridge.Limited access to the bridge, similar to that of the Thomas J. Hatem Memorial Bridge, left cycling advocates frustrated. Eric Brenner, past chair of the Maryland Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee, expressed disappointment in the final plan. He said few good options remained after state transportation officials under then-Gov. Larry Hogan (R) failed to build a new Potomac River crossing that incorporated bike and pedestrian access.“The Nice Bridge stuff was a can’t-win situation the way it was set up,” Brenner said.“I’m reluctant to even beat them up too much for what they decided to do,” he added, speaking of the Department of Transportation under Hogan’s successor Go...More than 1,400 migrants are rescued from overcrowded boats off southern Italy by coast guard
