To be recognized is a huge honor.”It’s Surtain’s second straight year being named the team’s MVP and his second straight Pro Bowl nod....Taco Bell fans can now make the brand's most popular menu items at home

I’m not apologizing for PG&E; they certainly have plenty to answer for. But, instead of reprinting the same complaint ad nauseam, invest time in verifying PG&E’s claims about their expenditures on upgrading infrastructure and how much these alleged investments contribute to their rate increase justifications. The work they need to do strikes me as overwhelming; maybe that’s a justification for not rewarding PG&E and finding someone else to do the job.But until that day comes we need to be more realistic about improving our infrastructure and more understanding that it needs to be paid for. Magical realist thinking — demanding improvements and refusing to pay for them — isn’t going to cut it.Eugene ElySan JoseP...Alameda City Council rejects mayor’s letter calling for ceasefire in Gaza

The letter demanded the U.S. government pursue an immediate ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, condemned Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel, and recognized Israel’s desire to ensure the safety of its citizens.Related ArticlesPolitics | Strike kills 12, mostly children, in Gaza area declared safe zone Politics | Islamic State claims responsibility for massive Iran bombing Politics | DePetris: Is the Middle East in danger of spinning out of control?
