LOS GATOS — Miles Roberts was a bored sixth grader when his parents decided he needed something to do. So they had him try track and field and burn off some energy if nothing else.Six years later the Leland senior is one of the top high hurdlers in the state.Roberts won the 110-meter high hurdles Friday at the Central Coast Section Top 8 meet at Los Gatos High in a time of 14.13 seconds, just off his season-best, 14.11, which is the second-fastest time in the state.Roberts placed fourth at the state meet last year as a junior in 14.18, so he’s been in the low 14s for a while. Cracking the 14-flat barrier, getting down in the 13s — elite territory for any high hurdler at any level — is the obvious goal.“It’s all I can think about,” Roberts said. “I see 13.99 in my dreams.’Roberts also placed third in the long jump Friday with a mark of 22-6.Leland’s Miles Roberts crosses the finish line first in the 110 hurdles at the Central Coas...

March miracle? California home prices rebound 7.6%

The “Looking Glass” ponders economic and real estate trends through two distinct lenses: the optimist’s “glass half-full” and the pessimist’s “glass half-empty.”Buzz: California home prices rebounded 7.6% in March, as recently lower mortgage rates gave house hunters some added buying power.Source: My trusty spreadsheet looked at the monthly sales report from the California Association of Realtors, which tracks closed transactions involving existing single-family houses.

SF Giants issue statement on A’s, and a former Athletic talks Coliseum: ‘I loved every aspect of it’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:54:39 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO – Left-handed pitcher Sean Manaea remembers starting for the Oakland A’s in the 2019 American League Wild Card game against the Tampa Bay Rays, looking around, and seeing the Coliseum filled to near-capacity with a rabid crowd of 54,005 on hand.“That’s the crazy part,” Manaea said. “It’s usually never packed but when it is, it’s one of the coolest places in all of sports.”That’s what made the A’s announcement earlier this week, that they had reached a land deal in Las Vegas as a precursor to a potential move to that city, so heartbreaking for Manaea, who spent six mostly successful years in Oakland before he was traded to the San Diego Padres last April.The A’s could be out of the city by the end of next season when their lease at the Coliseum expires.“It’s very unfortunate,” said Manaea, now in his first full season with the San Francisco Giants. “It makes me sad thinking that they’re moving to Vegas. I mean, I love Oakland.”The Giants is...

Digging into San Jose’s Fallon statue controversy

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:54:39 GMT

Tuesday morning my email and social media started popping with people asking if I had seen that removal of the Fallon statue had begun in downtown San Jose. Finally, I thought, our long civic nightmare is over.But the nightmare I was thinking of wasn’t the Fallon statue itself. It was having to talk about it for the past 35 years. With the statue’s impending removal from Julian Street, San Jose residents will finally get to put this issue to rest.I also was surprised by what I was hearing from people about the removal, including a lot of assumptions that were just plain inaccurate. Some argued that taking the statue down was like demolishing a historic building, which isn’t the case at all. While the statue depicted a key moment in San Jose history — the raising of the U.S. flag in the city during the Mexican-American War in 1846 — the statue itself wasn’t a historical artifact. The piece by sculptor Robert Glen, a beautiful sculpture if looked at...

Estas diminutas criaturas están perdiendo la batalla por sobrevivir. Esto es lo que podemos hacer para salvarlos

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:54:39 GMT

(CNN) — El colibrí rufo es mágico. La garganta iridiscente del macho brilla más que un centavo de cobre brillante y, como la mayoría de los colibríes, zumba por el aire con curiosidad, flotando justo en frente de los humanos que los contemplan. La primera vez que Mike Parr, presidente de American Bird Conservancy, vio uno, se alimentaba de las flores de un limonero en California.“Era solo uno de esos sitios de otro mundo. Fue casi como una experiencia religiosa”, dice Parr con asombro y reverencia.“Cuando simplemente giran la cabeza y de repente su garganta capta la luz, se ilumina con este color increíble. Es simplemente mágico, de verdad. Simplemente se ilumina como un faro”.Son uno de los colibríes más pequeños con poco más de 7 cm de largo, pero uno de los más luchadores.Vuelan unas asombrosas 6.200 km (de ida) desde Alaska, donde viven en el verano, hasta México, uno de los viajes migratorios más largos de cualquier ave en el mundo en comparación con el tamaño de su cuerp...
