Bay Area storms could bring less intensity but more consistency Tuesday
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 23:18:27 GMT
The rain wasn’t expected to let up the day after storms throughout the Bay Area were powerful enough to potentially help knock out power for nearly 20,000 people, though forecasters expected less intense — albeit more consistent precipitation on Tuesday.In an early morning bulletin, the National Weather Service called the rain showers it expects on Tuesday “lingering,” as low-intensity rain was predicted to hang around for much of Tuesday for the entirety of the Bay Area.The 24-hour forecast between 4 a.m. Tuesday and 4 a.m. Wednesday predicted as much as one inch of rain in San Francisco and Half Moon Bay. Inland totals weren’t expected to be quite as high, with forecasts tapping out at one-half of an inch in San Jose and one-quarter of an inch in Concord and Livermore. Chances of thunderstorms, which could carry more precipitation than meteorologists can predict, were marginal according to the NWS.Commuters should still take heed of warnings in regard to we...High school girls basketball rankings Dec. 19, 2023: Bay Area News Group Top 20

In her work as stranding coordinator at the Noyo Center for Marine Science in Mendocino County, Sarah Grimes investigates reports of dead marine mammals up and down the coast. So when she began finding the decapitated bodies of harbor seal pups dragged up near the high-tide line in MacKerricher State Park, just a few miles north of Fort Bragg, she was on the case.“It was so gruesome,” said Grimes. “I was like marine mammal CSI, seeing all the dead pups with their heads torn off, and I’m like, ‘What the heck did that?’ ”The headless bodies began turning up in 2016, and Grimes wasn’t able to pin down what was behind them. She suspected it might be coyotes, as she had found tracks in the area — but coyotes were not known to go after live marine mammals.It wasn’t until the fall of last year that Grimes got proof, when Frankie Gerraty, a Ph.D. student at UC Santa Cruz, caught one of the culprits in the act at MacKerricher.Undergraduate research assistant Isabella Turner (left) and ...California is set to become 2nd state to allow turning wastewater into drinking water

By ADAM BEAM | Associated PressSACRAMENTO — When a toilet is flushed in California, the water can end up in a lot of places — the ice in a skating rink, the manufactured snow on ski slopes, in pipes providing irrigation for farmland. And — coming soon — in your drinking glass.California regulators on Tuesday are set to vote on new rules to let water agencies recycle wastewater and put it right back into the pipes that carry drinking water to homes, schools and businesses.It’s a big step for a state that has struggled for decades to have a reliable source of drinking water for its more than 39 million residents. And it signals a shift in public opinion on a subject that as recently as two decades ago prompted backlash that scuttled similar projects.Since then, California has been through multiple extreme droughts, including the most recent one that scientists say was the driest three-year period on record and left the state’s reservoirs at dangerously low levels.RELATED: This beer is...Tired of the waiting lists for California’s public universities, nursing students increasingly turn to expensive private programs
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 23:18:27 GMT
(BCN) -- For Julio Rivera, transferring from a local community college to a bachelor's program in nursing was always a top priority. As someone who enjoyed helping others, nursing seemed like a natural career. While caring for an aunt with renal failure and Type 2 diabetes, a conversation with her solidified the belief that nursing was his calling. "She said, 'You have it. You can really tell that you care about people,'" Rivera said. The pandemic put a pause on Rivera's education as hospitals had difficulty accommodating student nurses. Rivera applied to public programs in San Bernardino County, but many of them were severely limiting clinical training, or not accepting new applicants at the time.

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 23:18:27 GMT
The term bathroom décor often conjures thoughts of decorative shelving, a framed print or perhaps a colorful shower curtain. But what about houseplants? Most houseplants are tender tropical plants that thrive best in the warm, humid conditions of their native climate, often a rainforest or jungle. So, a bathroom, especially one with a window that also hosts a daily shower (or several), can be an ideal spot to grow them.Recent trends are going a step further, adding plants not only to the bathroom but inside the shower, either on the floor, hanging from the ceiling, placed on the ledge of the tub or on a shelf above it. If you go this route, take care to keep them out of the path of the water stream. Tropical plants like humidity but not soggy soil. In fact, they’ll likely need less water than their out-of-shower counterparts.WHAT TO CHOOSEPlants best suited for jungle showers include prayer plant (Calathea), moth orchid (Phalaenopsis), golden pothos/devil’s ivy (Pothos), flamingo fl...Denver metro could actually have a white Christmas this year

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 23:18:27 GMT
DENVER (KDVR) — There’s less than a week until Christmas, and the holiday stress might be setting in. This time is supposed to be about cheer and joy, but some Americans feel more stressed out during the holidays. A lot of potential stressors include: Do I have the perfect gift? Is my house good enough to host all these people? Am I spending as much money on someone else as they’re spending on me?A study by the American Psychiatric Association Foundation found that 29% of Americans feel more stressed out this year than they were last year. They said the main cause of holiday stress is money, money surrounding food, gifts, decorations, and more. “So, we certainly know that there are economic factors like inflation, but ultimately, we think through our doctors that they're striving for perfection, that you're just trying to achieve something that's impossible, and you're willing to spend almost anything to try to achieve it. There is just no such thing as a perfect holiday,” said Raw...Latest news
