(Photo by Christopher Polk/Getty Images for Turner) Diane Keaton's prized dream home, inspired by her love of childhood fable "The Three Little Pigs," is back on the market after being taken down not long before her death in October.

15+ min ago (798+ words) A major fire in January at one of the world's largest battery storage plants in Moss Landing showered 55,000 pounds of toxic metals across the landscape within a mile of the plant, a new scientific study has found. "It was like a dust," said Ivano Aiello, a marine geology professor at Moss Landing Marine Labs who led the soils testing. "That's what it was. A metal dust. It was like sugar dusting on a cake." "Metals came from the fire," Aiello said. "There's no doubt about that. They traveled. They are tiny. The smoke can travel really far. They can go everywhere, including your lungs. People who were breathing that air were breathing the air with metals." The dramatic fire at the 750-megawatt battery plant began on Jan. 16 and burned for two days. It caused the evacuation of 1,200 local residents and…...

32+ min ago (276+ words) By KATE PAYNE, Associated Press The board of the South Florida college that's giving away a valuable piece of property for Donald Trump's future presidential library revoted to transfer the land on Tuesday. The site is a developer's dream and is valued at more than $67 million, according to a 2025 assessment by the Miami-Dade County property appraiser. One real estate expert wagered that the parcel " one of the last undeveloped lots on an iconic stretch of palm tree-lined Biscayne Boulevard " could sell for hundreds of millions of dollars more. On Tuesday, the board held a new meeting at its campus in Hialeah, a predominantly Cuban American and Republican-leaning suburb of Miami. Dozens of students, professors, alumni and local officials packed the meeting to weigh in on the land transfer, an opportunity some felt they were denied when the board initially voted…...

42+ min ago (315+ words) Re: "Inheritance levy target of repeal" (Page A1, Nov. 30). It takes taxes for our local governments to provide services. When I bought houses, I expected to pay the same as others who bought. Proposition 19, as written, gives a generous $1 million break to children of parents who owned houses. If we increase the assessment break for the survivors, taxes for the rest of us, including struggling first-time buyers, will be higher, or services will be less. I'd leave Proposition 19 as is. Charles Tilford Castro Valley Re: "Lawmakers suggest follow-up boat strike could be war crime" (Page A3, Dec. 1). Of course the follow-up strikes on the boats that the Trump regime has designated as carrying drugs were war crimes. The question is why does mainstream media act as though it is a question, and not clear? This is not even to mention that all…...

"I worked up the courage to ask Tavita what hound-two protection was," Luck said. "Tavita spent 20 minutes with me on the couch. I couldn't hear anything the first 10 minutes because I was too intimidated that the starting quarterback was actually taking time out of his day to teach me something. "That moment stuck with me " his humility, his service, his belief in lifting up the people around him." And now they're back on the same team. Luck, now Stanford's general manager, introduced Pritchard as the 37th head coach in program history on Tuesday, completing an eight-month coaching search that brought a familiar face back to the school that shaped…...
