Los Gatos sends road safety improvements back to the drawing board

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:01:07 GMT

The Los Gatos Town Council last week sent safety improvements on Shannon Road back to the drawing board an effort to make the designs mesh with the rural, country feel of the road.Dozens of residents who live along the stretch of Shannon Road between Los Gatos Boulevard and Cherry Blossom Lane voiced their concerns at an April 18 meeting that the current designs were incompatible with the rural feel of the area.The town has been working to install sidewalks, bike lanes and street parking to improve the safety of the road, which is a popular route for students at Blossom Hill Elementary, Van Meter Elementary and Fisher Middle schools to bike or walk to school.“I love this street,” Mayor Maria Ristow said. “It’s beautiful, but I think it will also be beautiful when there’s sidewalks and bike lanes.”The council’s vote also transferred thousands of dollars in town funds to the project, while requiring that staff revise the design to add more trees and remove parking spaces and host an i...

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:01:07 GMT

Un tribunal holandés prohibió el viernes a un hombre donar más de su esperma después de haber engendrado al menos 550 niños en los Países Bajos y otros países y engañado a los futuros padres sobre la cantidad de hijos que ayudó a concebir.El tribunal señaló que, según las pautas holandesas, los donantes de esperma pueden producir un máximo de 25 niños con 12 madres y que el donante mintió a los futuros padres sobre su historial de donaciones.“Espero que este fallo lleve a prohibir las donaciones masivas”, señaló la corte en un comunicado.El donante, identificado como Jonathan M., proporcionó esperma a varias clínicas de fertilidad holandesas y a una clínica en Dinamarca, así como a muchas otras personas con las que se conectó a través de anuncios y foros en línea, dijo el tribunal en su sentencia.

Fracasan los proyectos de ley antiaborto en Nebraska y Carolina del Sur, controlados por el Partido Republicano

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:01:07 GMT

Washington (CNN) — Las medidas que habrían restringido severamente el aborto fracasaron este jueves en Nebraska y Carolina del Sur, que tienen legislaturas controladas por los republicanos, un reflejo del creciente malestar entre los republicanos por la popularidad política de las prohibiciones estrictas.En Nebraska, una “Ley del Latido del Corazón” habría prohibido la mayoría de los abortos después de las seis semanas, excepto en casos de violación o incesto o para preservar la vida de la madre una vez detectado el “latido del corazón del feto”, pero se estancó en la legislatura.La votación para superar el obstruccionismo fracasó por 32 votos a favor y 15 en contra, con la abstención de dos senadores, entre ellos el senador estatal republicano Merv Riepe, lo que dejó la medida a un voto de la mayoría de dos tercios necesaria para su consideración. Riepe, cofirmante del proyecto de ley, había propuesto una enmienda para trasladar la prohibición a 12 sem...

Liverpool not ‘out of the woods’ despite winning streak

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:01:07 GMT

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Liverpool is on a winning streak and talking about European soccer again.Jurgen Klopp cautioned, though, that his team isn’t “out of the woods” yet in what’s been a disappointing season.Liverpool can make it four wins in a row Sunday when Tottenham visits Anfield as both teams fight to keep their slim top-four hopes alive.The Merseyside club has played in the lucrative Champions League six consecutive years but extending that streak would require a collapse by either Newcastle or Manchester United.“This is obviously a season where a lot of things were difficult for a lot of teams,” Klopp said Friday. “We have had our problems, Chelsea has their problems, Tottenham has their problems. It’s uncool for us (and) it opens the door for other teams.”The second-tier Europa League is a more likely landing spot, and the German manager said he’d be “absolutely fine” with that.“We take what we get,” Klopp said. “The season taught us a few things.

Brazil’s Lula resumes recognition of Indigenous land areas

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:01:07 GMT

BRASÍLIA (AP) — Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Friday granted official recognition of nearly 800 square miles of Indigenous lands, following through on a campaign promise in a move that also protects critical Amazon rainforest from commercial exploitation.Lula recognized six ancestral lands. The two largest are in the Amazon, the world’s largest tropical forest and an important carbon sink that helps moderate climate change. The total area of recognized lands in the biome is 161,500 hectares (620 square miles). The land remains under the federal government’s jurisdiction, but the designation grants Indigenous peoples the right to use it in their traditional manner. Mining activities are prohibited, and commercial farming and logging require specific authorizations. Additionally, non-Indigenous individuals are forbidden from engaging in any economic activity on Indigenous lands.Lula’s action was welcomed by the Indigenous movement, but not without som...
