Draymond Green isn’t just setting his sights on a fifth NBA championship with the Golden State Warriors.He’s thinking bigger for himself, Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.“I don’t like to necessarily put a number on things,” Green told ESPN in a recent profile. “But I don’t see why we can’t get two more championships. Why not?”Green touched on several topics while back at Michigan State, where he starred for legendary coach Tom Izzo for four years.Golden State’s busy offseason had two major moves: bringing Green back on a four-year, $100 million deal; and trading Jordan Poole for longtime Warriors foe Chris Paul.Green admitted that, on a scale of 1-10, his hatred of Paul was an 11, which Green views as a sign of respect, and he needed time to warm up to the deal. But now?“I look at this as one of the most important years of my career,” Green said. “… It’s not to redeem anything about Draymond. My goal is that we can help...

Chris Pena was crossing the street on his bicycle at the intersection of Mission Boulevard and Orchard Avenue when a car sped through a red light and killed him."It's strange to be in the world without him here.

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:48:18 GMT

(BCN) -- Authorities warned the public this week against con artists claiming to be deputies of the San Francisco Sheriff's Office as part of an imposter scam. These scammers often call residents by phone, threatening to arrest victims for either supposed failure to respond to federal warrants or subpoenas, not taking care of citations, or not appearing for jury duty, the Sheriff's Office said in a news release Tuesday. Authorities also said these fake deputies would claim the Sheriff's Office already mailed the victim a letter of documentation and that the victim did not appear for a scheduled court date. In lieu of arrest, scammers will demand $5,000 to $10,500 in payment from the victims through wire or gift card, the Sheriff's Office said.

North Korea’s Kim vows full support for Russia at summit with Putin at a Far East spaceport

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:48:18 GMT

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea’s Kim Jong Un vowed “full and unconditional support” for Russia’s Vladimir Putin on Wednesday as the two leaders isolated by the West held a summit that the U.S. warns could lead to a deal to supply ammunition for Moscow’s war in Ukraine.The meeting, which lasted over four hours at Russia’s spaceport in the Far East, underscores how their interests are aligning: Putin is believed to be seeking one of the few things impoverished North Korea has in abundance – stockpiles of aging ammunition and rockets for Soviet-era weapons.Such a request would mark a reversal of roles from the 1950-53 Korean War, when Moscow gave weapons to support Pyongyang’s invasion of South Korea, and in the decades of Soviet sponsorship of the North that followed.The decision to meet at the Vostochny Cosmodrome, Russia’s most important launch center on its own soil, suggests Kim is seeking Russian help in developing military reconnaissance satellites, which he has described...

Will Prop HH eliminate TABOR refunds? Scenario 'likely' over time

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:48:18 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Proposition HH is touted as a way to lower tax payments, but it would also have an effect on Colorado's TABOR refunds.Prop HH would do a few things under the premise of lowering property taxes for the next decade. It would, in part, increase the cap on state revenue — meaning some of the money refunded under the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights would stay in government coffers. After 10 years, the law could be extended without voter approval.So what does that mean for TABOR refunds? As laid out in the 2023 ballot information booklet, the refunds will be lower in the future, and it's possible they could be eliminated.TABOR refunds would change under Prop HHColorado's TABOR law puts a cap on state revenue and requires the excess to be returned to taxpayers. Normally, the refunds are distributed based on income.For the 2023 tax year, Prop HH would flatten TABOR refund amounts to an estimated $898 for single filers and double that for joint filers, regardless of income, accordi...

Planet in ‘habitable’ zone could have rare oceans and a possible sign of life, Webb data reveals

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:48:18 GMT

(CNN) — Waters may be flowing on the surface of a colossal planet that lies about 120 light-years from Earth, according to new evidence uncovered by the James Webb Space Telescope.The investigation with the space-based observatory, one of the most advanced astronomy instruments in operation, revealed that the exoplanet K2-18b may have some key features of a planet that could support bodies of water — and life.Closely orbiting the cool dwarf star K2-18, the exoplanet lies within the star’s habitable, or Goldilocks, zone and is 8.6 times as massive as Earth. An analysis of Webb’s observations found the planet has abundant methane and carbon dioxide in its atmosphere.The presence of these carbon-bearing molecules, along with a scarcity of ammonia, could indicate an atmosphere rich with hydrogen that surrounds an ocean world, according to a NASA news release.Carbon is considered the building block of life-forms on Earth.The Hubble Space Telescope initially spotted evidence of water vapo...
