Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:55:36 GMT

On a night when the city passed a resolution castigating the Martinez Refining Company for their performance over the last 12 months, the refinery’s manager issued a set of apologies and an acknowledgment that if the company doesn’t get its act together soon, the consequences could be dire.“We understand that not only being a good neighbor, but truly our license depends on our ability to operate in a safe and responsible manner,” said Daniel Ingram, manager of the Martinez Refining company. “We don’t take these issues lightly.”Ingram’s report included a more full accounting of the spent catalyst release last November, when residents woke up to a layer of fine white silt on their cars and window sills. The Martinez Refining Company, whose sprawling campus defines the east side of the city, said the release was “non-toxic,” “non-hazardous”, and “naturally occurring” spent catalyst dust used in the refining process.Related ArticlesEnvironment | Big federal dollars for ...

AP PHOTOS: Scenes of violence and despair on the war’s 13th day

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:55:36 GMT

It’s hard to forget the children. Sometimes it’s impossible.Like the rescuer carrying a child from a building destroyed in an Israeli attack on the city of Khan Younis, in the Gaza Strip. The dust-covered child — it seems to be a boy, though that’s not clear — looks up with huge eyes. The child clutches something in a hand kept wrapped around the rescuer’s neck. Maybe it’s a stone. Maybe not.Or the Palestinian man carrying the body of his young nephew on Wednesday, the 13th day of Israel’s war with Hamas. He’s taking the boy, killed in an Israeli bombardment, to be buried. The boy is small. A toddler probably. One mourner touches the boy’s head. Another touches his leg, his face is wrenched with grief.The pain crosses the border. It’s in the bunk bed in a child’s room in the kibbutz of Nir Oz, which was overrun by Hamas militants on Oct 7. There are no bodies, but the violence is written everywhere in blood. Especially on the mattress, where blood is pooled in the center, a da...

Some Colorado Republicans are not here for it."Essentially what they would propose is to essentially remove the acting title, which would simply make him the speaker pro temp and probably change some other house rules," said Phil Chen, assistant professor of political science at the University of Denver. "It would empower the current acting Speaker Pro Tempore Rep. Patrick McHenry to essentially act as speaker to help pass legislation, bring things to the floor and essentially get the House working again."Some members have flo...
