(The Hill) – Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) reportedly expressed confusion last year when Vice President Kamala Harris was presiding over the Senate to cast a tie-breaking vote, according to a new report detailing the difficulties the ailing lawmaker faces as she continues her work in the Senate. The new report from The New York Times outlines the many functions Feinstein’s staff play and the struggles the longtime senator faces as she returns to work after bouts of shingles and encephalitis earlier this year.The latest example, however, reportedly took place last year and illustrates the difficulty Feinstein has had recalling, at times, the basics of how the Senate operates.

Hard-On for the Saints

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 05:36:15 GMT

The Saints(I’m) Stranded (EMI/Sire)Hard-On for the Saints: Ray Ahn of the Hard-Ons told us about his love for the debut album from fellow veteran Australian punks the Saints.(EMI/Sire)Ray Ahn: The debut LP by the Saints ushered in unthinkable velocity and power in pop music that drew a line between ROCK and PUNK. This is remarkable because no act had presented music like this before.Put simply, “(I’m) stranded” is a blistering album where every instrument sounds like it is in a race with the others to the finish. The music has potent urgency not found in any other record on earth. That the album still sounds fresh and timeless is a testament to what a once in a lifetime freak of an album it really is.(I’m) Stranded is a rampaging sound of desperation, alienation and unwavering focus. It became a blueprint and inspiration for modern day punk sounds. Even arguably more so than even the debut LP by the Ramones. This album is the re-set button for Rock And Roll music, that had mov...

He fought fires in San Jose. Then came a long-awaited call from the NFL

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 05:36:15 GMT

Scott Campbell woke up on April 19 with a feeling of anticipation and a plan for potential disappointment.A longtime officiator for college football and a retired San Jose firefighter, Campbell had heard rumors that the NFL was making calls that day to a lucky few being recruited as referees for the coming season.Campbell carries himself with a sense of cool confidence and focus — traits that have surely helped him both while fighting fires and making tough calls on the gridiron — but he didn’t get his hopes up that his decadeslong dream was finally coming true.The call that changed his life came at 9:32 a.m. The NFL offered him a spot in one of American sports’ most elite circles — a job that entails hundreds of thousands of fans watching your every move.“That phone call for me, I don’t know, it’s almost an out-of-body experience because it was overwhelming,” said Campbell, 55. “It really hasn’t hit me even today.”Scott Campbell...

Animal Life: Why is a San Jose cat just staring at the wall above his litter box?

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 05:36:15 GMT

DEAR JOAN: My 1½-year-old Burmese cat, Zephyr, is the most stubborn, curious, smart, high-energy cat I have ever had. He becomes fixated on things, such as the lights over the refrigerator (which he will not stay off of). He also constantly gets into the fireplace, which is blocked off, and tries to dig his way behind the dishwasher.For the past month, off and on, but more so lately, he has been fixated on the corner behind his litter box. He stares at the scoops and lays down next to the box. He is eating fine, and all bodily functions are fine. His litter is scooped twice a day. It is really hard to dissuade him from staring and then sleeping or hunkering down next to it.I’ve cleaned the area, and short of introducing a new litter box, I don’t really know what to do.Last year I wrote to you because there was a squirrel inside my wall. Zephyr alerted me to it by staring up in the corner for hours. Then again, as I noted, he gets fixated on other things, too.Before I call pest contr...

TasteFood: Love lasagna? Consider a vegetable gratin

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 05:36:15 GMT

Eat your lasagna and have your vegetables, too, with a veggie-enhanced rendition of a family favorite. This layered gratin resembles a lasagna, with one key difference: There are no pasta sheets. It’s a glimpse of summer to come, with planks of roasted Mediterranean vegetables rippling with tomato and dollops of ricotta in a gratin-cum-lasagna.Roasted eggplant, zucchini and yellow squash slices keep this dish light and colorful, alternating with a bright tomato sauce and fluffy ricotta. All the components can be prepped in advance, ready for last-minute assembly when you are ready to bake. Pre-roast the vegetables; by doing so, the oil is kept to a minimum. The tomato sauce is simple to make, but a favorite store-bought tomato sauce can easily be substituted. And be sure to use whole-milk ricotta cheese for best flavor and results, as the skim variety can be grainy and tasteless.Roasted Vegetable GratinServes 4 to 6INGREDIENTSTomato sauce:1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil1 s...

Getting to know the world of backyard chickens

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 05:36:15 GMT

“Like most people, I initially got chickens because I wanted a source of eggs from hens who I knew had lived good lives,” freelance journalist Tove Danovich says. “It kind of spiraled from there.”Danovich’s “spiral” took her into a fascinating investigative journey to get a wider view of chickens, their evolution, their lives and the ways in which they are used.The result is her engaging new book, “Under the Henfluence: Inside the World of Backyard Chickens and the People Who Love Them” (Agate, $27) that seamlessly blends memoir with animal welfare journalism.Danovich’s book outlines “the pros and cons of the (backyard chicken) movement with stories from my flock as well as looking out a bit more at who chickens are as a species and why I think they’re so lovely.”She lives with her flock of eight hens and documents their activities on Instagram at @bestlittlehenhouse.“Each of my girls very much has her own personality,” she says. “My tiny bantam Emmylou won’t come back into the coop...

They were designed to be safer: How de-horned cows were doomed

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 05:36:15 GMT

Every year, millions of beef cattle are born without horns, a trait that naturally emerged in Scottish pastures in the 16th century and has since spared many lives from goring.But when UC Davis created horn-free dairy cattle — through gene-editing, rather than generations of routine breeding — federal regulators did not welcome the new bovines to the herd.Under rigorous federal rules established in the early years of the genomic revolution, and upheld during the Obama administration, genetically modified animals are considered to be a new type of veterinary pharmaceutical, needing FDA approval. Without it, meat and milk can’t enter the food supply. As a result, the nine cows — and the experiment — are now dead, burned, at a cost of $1,200 each.“It was a waste. There wasn’t any risk,” said animal geneticist and professor Alison Van Eenennaam of UC Davis, who spent seven years on the project. “Basically, they were an unapproved drug.”In this July 11, 2018 photo, animal geneticis...
