By Meg Kinnard | Associated PressWith roughly a year and a half until the 2024 presidential contest, the field of candidates is largely set.Former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov.

Legendary rocker makes an appearance during intimate all-star jazz show

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 04:36:10 GMT

Cindy Blackman Santana knows how to throw a party.And she proved it once again as she celebrated the amazing legacy and music of the late great drummer Tony Williams during the 40th annual San Francisco Jazz Festival at the SFJAZZ Center on Wednesday (June 14).Her star-studded guest list included guitarist Vernon Reid (from Living Colour), organist John Medeski (from Medeski Martin and Wood) and her guitar-legend husband, Carlos Santana.Yet, the true star of the show was drummer Blackman-Santana herself, which was a highly appropriate — and even expected — turn of events given the fact that we were all gathering together for a tribute to a man who made such incredible music on the drumkit during a career that stretched from the early ’60s until his death at the age of 51 in 1997 in Daly City.The longtime Bay Area resident, who was born in Chicago, came to fame as a member of Miles Davis’ appropriately nicknamed “Second Great Quintet,” which also f...

How much prison time could Donald Trump be facing?

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 04:36:10 GMT

By Eric Tucker and Alanna Durkin Richer | Associated PressWASHINGTON — The FBI investigators who searched Harold Martin’s Maryland property in the fall of 2016 found classified documents — including material at the top secret level — strewn about his home, car and storage shed.Unlike former President Donald Trump, the former National Security Agency contractor didn’t contest the allegations, ultimately pleading guilty in 2019 and admitting his actions were “wrong, illegal and highly questionable.” But his expressions of contrition and guilty plea to a single count of willful retention of national defense information didn’t spare him the harsh punishment of nine years in prison.The resolution of that case looms as an ominous guidepost for the legal jeopardy Trump could face as he confronts 37 felony counts — 31 under the same century-old Espionage Act statute used to prosecute Martin and other defendants alleged to have illegally retained classified docu...

Las Vegas native Bryce Harper says A’s shouldn’t abandon Oakland

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 04:36:10 GMT

Bryce Harper and the Phillies are coming to Oakland this weekend. By the time they visit the A’s next year, though, the games might be in Las Vegas, Harper’s hometown.That doesn’t mean Harper would be happy to be going home for that series.“It should have been an expansion franchise, not the A’s,’’ Harper told USA Today’s Bob Nightengale in a piece posted Thursday morning. He then contrasted the A’s with the NHL’s Golden Knights, who won the Stanley Cup on Tuesday night.“Look at the Knights, they won the Cup, but they were an expansion franchise. They were Vegas-born, as people would say. It’s the first team that came to Vegas. I don’t think you can really match that.”Harper and teammate Bryson Stott, also a Las Vegas-area native, said the Raiders have not captured the city’s support in the same way that the Golden Knights have. Stott said he has seen a lot of visiting fans at NFL games in Vegas and attributed that to the Raiders...

Cinemark and Westfield abandoning downtown SF just the latest in string of bad news

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 04:36:10 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- The troubles for San Francisco's beleaguered downtown continued this week with the news Monday that Westfield would be pulling out from operating SF's biggest mall and that one of the mall's tenants, the Cinemark Century SF Centre 9 theater will go dark this week. This one-two punch is just the latest in a series of blows to the city's struggling downtown. Westfield has owned and operated the San Francisco Centre on Market Street for over 20 years. The retail chain, which is based in France, cited "challenging operating conditions" and other now-familiar factors as reasons for forfeiting on its loan for the SF mall. SF mayor defends controversial program for arresting public drug users This week's news from Westfield follows an announcement last month, that the mall's anchor tenant, Nordstrom, would be closing its flagship store at the mall, along with a nearby Nordstrom Rack location.

SAO PAULO (AP) — A high court in Brazil will move forward with Italy’s case against former soccer star Robinho, who was sentenced in Europe to nine years in prison for rape.In a ruling late Wednesday, Brazil’s superior court of justice set a date of Aug. 2 to decide whether the Italian government must translate Robinho’s full case into Portuguese and then send it to Brazilian authorities for further analysis, as requested by the former player’s lawyer.Italian authorities want the 39-year-old Robinho to serve his sentence in Brazil, but the Brazilian court is yet to agree.
