How Sunnyvale tackles its biggest issues

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:55 GMT

(BCN) -- Sunnyvale's process for proposing new policies is complex, so we're breaking it down step by step.Sunnyvale's "study issue" and "budget proposal" process is how the city sets new city policies and services, respectively. The city uses this process to allocate employee responsibilities and budgetary resources, and each proposed project is ranked by priority. Those rankings are then used to determine which projects are researched, deferred contingent on resources or dropped. Rainfall forecasted mid-week, NWS Members of the public can propose study issues by reaching out to the Sunnyvale City Council, city manager, or a city board or commission, but it must be sponsored by one of them to become an official study issue. An example of a publicly proposed item becoming policy is the city's decision to permanently close historic Murphy Avenue to traffic.

Mike Sainristil becomes perhaps Michigan’s best player on defense after playing 3 seasons on offense

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:55 GMT

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Position switches in college football often occur when a player isn’t producing.That wasn’t the case with Mike Sainristil at Michigan.In his third season at wide receiver in 2021, he was a key target and his highlight-worthy catches seemed to set him up for a bright future on offense with the Wolverines.Jim Harbaugh had another idea entering spring ball last year, suggesting Sainristil switch to defensive back.“He saw something that maybe I didn’t see in myself at the time,” Sainristil recalled recently in an interview. “My mindset was prove him right, prove myself right and take advantage of the opportunity.”He has done just that, becoming a key contributor in the secondary last season and arguably the best player on a highly ranked defense this year.The AP All-Big Ten cornerback is about to face a tough test in his third straight College Football Playoff appearance.Michigan, whose season included a sign-stealing scandal that led to the Big...

King Charles III’s Christmas message reflects a coronation theme and calls for planet’s protection

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:55 GMT

LONDON (AP) — King Charles III reflected his coronation theme of public service Monday in a Christmas message that he connected to the health of the planet and wars that are raging.In a prerecorded video shot with him standing beside a Christmas tree in Buckingham Palace, the king spoke of the message of Jesus’ life in serving those less fortunate as he honored the “selfless army” that forms the “backbone of our society” helping others.“My heart has been warmed by countless examples of the imaginative ways in which people are caring for one another, going the extra mile to help those around them simply because they know it is the right thing to do,” he said.It was the king’s second Christmas speech since he ascended the throne after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died in September 2022, but the first since his coronation in May when he was officially crowned in a medieval ceremony rich in pageantry and pomp.Charles, who has long campaigned for environmental causes and recently told...

Kalen DeBoer is a South Dakota man through and through. It shows in his work at Washington

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:55 GMT

Kalen DeBoer got called into the athletic director’s office a few days after the University of Sioux Falls won its third national championship in four years.The 2009 Cougars had just finished one of the most dominating seasons in NAIA history. In Willie Sanchez’s mind, DeBoer had outgrown the small, Baptist-affiliated school in South Dakota’s largest city. Sanchez said he asked DeBoer if he had aspirations of coaching at a higher level. DeBoer, hesitantly, told him he did.“He’s a South Dakota boy, and it seems like in the Midwest people don’t want to leave and I can understand why,” Sanchez recalled. “I said, ‘Kalen, you have more ability and should go forward.’ He said he had some inquiries, and I told him he needed to look into those possibilities.”For good measure, Sanchez threatened to fire him if he didn’t take another job.“I said that in a joking way,” he said. “I certainly wasn’t going to fire a guy who just won a national championship, but it was a way to k...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:55 GMT

(CNN) — Cuando Abby Eckel vio la pequeña bolsa de regalo de joyería que su esposo le regaló por su cumpleaños, pensó que sabía exactamente lo que había dentro: un anillo con una piedra preciosa de morganita que ella había pedido. Pero cuando Eckel abrió el paquete y vio en su lugar un collar, no pudo ocultar su decepción.“Era como una confusión interna y una conversación que estaba teniendo conmigo mismo sobre, ¿digo algo? ¿O debería simplemente estar contenta con lo que recibí?”, recuerda Eckel.Eckel sabía que no usaría el collar porque tiene preferencias específicas sobre sus joyas. Pero ahora su marido le había regalado algo que no amaba y se sentía culpable por estar decepcionada.¿Qué vino antes, el árbol o los regalos? Lo que tal vez no sabes del origen de estas tradiciones de NavidadPara muchas personas, esta decepción, seguida de culpa, es natural después de recibir un regalo que simplemente no les parece propio.

¿Cuál es el secreto para una mejor taza de café? Los científicos podrían haberlo descubierto

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:29:55 GMT

(CNN) — Los conocedores de café han sostenido durante mucho tiempo la creencia de que agregar un poco de agua a los granos antes de molerlos podría marcar la diferencia. Un nuevo estudio realizado por investigadores de la Universidad de Oregon parece confirmar exactamente por qué.La investigación exploró cómo la técnica, que comenzó como un intento de abordar el proceso de elaboración del café, a menudo complicado, también afectaba el sabor.“Cuando se muele café, sale para todos lados”, dijo el coautor del estudio Christopher Hendon, profesor asociado de química computacional de materiales en la Universidad de Oregon. “Del molinillo sale polvo, es como una erupción que lo cubre todo. Pero si le añades un poco de agua, parece que no llega a todas partes. Es más limpio. Esa fue la razón principal por la que la gente lo hizo”.El desorden es causado por la electricidad estática, que se crea por la fricción cuando los granos se aplastan. Esta carga estática hace que las...
