Five hikes to catch the last of the Bay Area’s glorious winter waterfalls

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:14:25 GMT

Crashing, booming and throwing out mist clouds full of rainbows and even moonbows – waterfalls remain an impressive reminder of the historic precipitation that thumped California this winter.Perhaps you didn’t have time to check out the fresh snowmelt toppling thousands of feet down Yosemite Falls. Or maybe you didn’t want to do the drive and trek to the oceanside tidefall of Alamere. Never fear: Despite the summer heat, there are still plenty of waterfalls worthy of exploration. They might not be the foaming monsters of the Sierra, but these more modest cascades are close to home, easy to hike to and sublime in their simple beauty or, in some cases, hidden qualities.Here are five of our favorite Bay Area waterfalls still flowing. We’ve included detailed directions, as well as suggestions on where to grab a bite or drink afterward. As always, bring plenty of water and watch out for ticks and poison oak – and don’t drink from the falling water lest you enjoy v...

Fragments of skull believed to be Beethoven’s returned to Vienna from California for scientific analysis

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:14:25 GMT

By Lianne Kolirin and Ashley Strickland | CNNFragments of a skull believed to have been that of composer Ludwig van Beethoven have been donated to a university in Austria after spending decades in the United States.The pieces of bone were donated to the Medical University of Vienna by American businessman Paul Kaufmann, who discovered them in a safety deposit box in a French bank following his mother’s death in 1990.It later emerged that the bones, which were contained in a tin faintly engraved with the word “Beethoven,” had been acquired from the estate of his mother’s great-uncle, Franz Romeo Seligmann.Seligmann, who died in 1892, had been a physician, medical historian and anthropologist in Vienna. The skull pieces, now referred to as the Seligmann fragments, came into his possession in 1863 during a reburial of Beethoven’s bones for study purposes.Over the course of his 56 years, Beethoven famously suffered from progressive hearing loss, as well as gastrointestinal problems and ...

Pac-12 media deal coming in ‘near future,’ commissioner George Kliavkoff says in rare public remarks

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:14:25 GMT

LAS VEGAS — In his first public comments in 226 days on the Pac-12’s pursuit of a media rights contract, commissioner George Kliavkoff said an agreement will come in the “near future” — and that the lengthy delay has worked to the conference’s benefit.“The longer we wait, the better our options get, and I think the board (of directors) realizes that,” Kliavkoff said Friday morning during a question-and-answer session with reporters at the Pac-12’s preseason media showcase at Resorts World Las Vegas.There has been “an underlying shift” recently in the media landscape and market for live sports, he added. “We’re taking advantage of that. But short-term, it has provided some hiccups.”Kliavkoff’s tone was vastly more matter-of-fact than his feisty performance at the same event last summer. Back then, the news of USC and UCLA leaving for the Big Ten was raw, and Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark had declared his league “open for business” — a comment Kliavkoff interpreted as an att...

Congress Melts Down Over Israel Again

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:14:25 GMT

The House overwhelmingly passed a resolution on Tuesday pledging “the United States will always be a staunch partner and supporter of Israel” and that Israel is “not a racist or apartheid state.” This week on Deconstructed, Beth Miller, political director of Jewish Voice for Peace Action, joins Ryan Grim to discuss the resolution sparked by recent remarks from Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash. Miller and Grim break down the bipartisan furor to swiftly condemn Jayapal calling Israel “a racist state” and promise unconditional support for the Israeli government, despite its decadeslong campaign to violently force Palestinians off their land.Transcript coming soon.

THOMAS WITH WORK TO DO AHEAD OF RYDER CUPHOYLAKE, England (AP) — Justin Thomas dug himself a deeper hole ahead of the Ryder Cup by missing the cut at the British Open.Thomas made three birdies in an even-par round of 71 on Friday to end the tournament at 11 over, several shots above the cut line.The poor result prompted Thomas to plan on playing at the 3M Open next week and at the Wyndham Championship after that to try to earn enough points to make it to the postseason.“I want to make the Ryder Cup more than anything,” Thomas said. “I’m probably honestly trying too hard to do it. It reminds me a lot of my first or second year on tour. I’ve tried so hard to make that team for the first time. I’m in a very similar position.”He said he has been “trying to make it easy” on U.S. captain Zach Johnson by getting into the top six and qualifying automatically, “but I seem to not want to do that with my golf.”“(I) have a couple events left to try to get in the playoffs and then make a little ...
