Re-wilding San Francisco Bay, one pond at a time

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:50:52 GMT

To the cheers of distant onlookers, a yellow excavator sliced through a dirt levee to open a long-captive 19th century industrial salt pond to the wild San Francisco Bay on Wednesday morning, allowing tidal waters to gush in to a 300-acre future marsh in Menlo Park.The project – part of the largest wetlands restoration ever conducted on the West Coast – is the latest addition to a growing mosaic of restored habitats for endangered wildlife, while providing flood protection and places to play for local residents.Flanking the north side of the Dumbarton Bridge, the now-barren pond will gain a more natural and lovely palette. Once filled with water and fresh sediments, it will support seeds that float in from adjacent marshes, then plants will germinate. This will welcome the arrival of little crustaceans, like crabs, as well as invertebrates, birds and fish.“This day feels incredible to me. It’s the culmination of years of work to restore the tidal marsh and open ponds for...

NFL receptions leader Keenan Allen out for Chargers’ Thursday night game at Raiders

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:50:52 GMT

COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — NFL receptions leader Keenan Allen has been declared out for the Los Angeles Chargers’ Thursday night game against the Las Vegas Raiders because of a heel injury.Allen leads the league with 108 catches and is fourth in yardage (1,243). He set the Chargers’ single-season reception record and became the quickest player in NFL history to reach 900 receptions in last Sunday’s 24-7 loss to the Denver Broncos. The 11th-year receiver, who has 904 catches, did it in 139 games, four games faster than Antonio Brown.Not having Allen in the lineup is a tough setback for Bolts quarterback Easton Stick, who is making his first NFL start after Justin Herbert suffered a broken index finger on his right hand. Herbert had surgery on Tuesday and is out for the remainder of the season.Joshua Palmer will return after missing the past six games because of a knee injury. First-round pick Quentin Johnston and Alex Erickson are also expected to see significant pla...

Deebo Samuel rebounds from self-described ‘awful’ season to star for the 49ers

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:50:52 GMT

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Deebo Samuel can be his own harshest critic, as evidenced by his description of his 2022 season for the San Francisco 49ers as “awful.”No one would say that about the way Samuel has been playing of late this season as he has regained the form that made him one of the NFL’s most dynamic playmakers in 2021 and has helped carry San Francisco to the top of the NFC standings.“I think he’s at the top of his game right now,” coach Kyle Shanahan said.That’s saying a lot considering how effective he was during his All-Pro 2021 season, when he had 77 catches for 1,405 yards and six touchdowns to go along with 59 carries for 365 yards and eight scores. His 1,770 yards from scrimmage that season have only been topped by Hall of Famer Jerry Rice in Niners history. But an offseason contract dispute led to Samuel coming into camp out of shape. Samuel never fully recovered, leading to his negative portrayal of his 2022 performance when he had 864 yards f...

Cámara de Representantes aprueba una resolución para formalizar la investigación de juicio político contra Biden

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:50:52 GMT

(CNN) –– La Cámara de Representantes de Estados Unidos, cuya mayoría es del Partido Republicano, aprobó una resolución para formalizar una investigación de juicio político contra el presidente Joe Biden con una votación de 221 a 212.Todos los representantes republicanos votaron a favor de formalizar la investigación, incluido Ken Buck, quien había dicho que se inclinaba en contra de la resolución.Parte del motivo de la votación de este miércoles se debe a que la Casa Blanca le dijo a las tres comisiones del Congreso que están al frente de la investigación, y que son lideradas por los republicanos, que sus citaciones resultaban ilegítimas sin una votación formal de la Cámara de Representantes para autorizar la investigación. Ante ello, los legisladores republicanos más reacios y moderados comenzaron a sumarse a los esfuerzos de investigación de su partido.La votación tuvo lugar después de que Hunter Biden, hijo del presidente, desafiara la citación del investigador republicano para t...
