US floats options to reduce water pulled from Colorado River

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 14:12:56 GMT

BOULDER CITY, Nev. (AP) — The Biden administration released an environmental analysis Tuesday that outlined two ways that seven Western states and tribes reliant on the overtapped Colorado River could cut their use, but declined to publicly take a side on the best option.One option would be more beneficial to California and some tribes along the river that have high-priority rights to the river's water. The second option is likely to be more favorable to Nevada and Arizona, which share the river's Lower Basin with California and say it's time for an approach that more fairly spreads the pain of cuts. That approach would force cuts on a proportional basis, when water levels at key reservoirs along the river dip below a certain point. Court inclined toward government view in Colorado River water rights case The Interior Department defended its authority to make sure basic needs such as drinking water and hydropower generated from the river are met — even if it means setting aside th...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 14:12:56 GMT

The classic movie “The Exorcist” and its famous split pea soup are iconic, but in “The Pope’s Exorcist,” starring Russell Crowe, a demonic child isn’t even the only surprise, and don’t you also wake up some mornings feeling like Satan has possessed you?We all know Russell Crowe can put on a show, but no one can truly possess a character quite like… Satan.And in “The Pope’s Exorcist,” Father Gabriele Amorth investigates a young boy’s terrifying possession but ends up uncovering a centuries-old conspiracy the Vatican has desperately tried to keep hidden.Alex Miranda: “Watching this film, I mean, it is so twisted.

Chicago Cubs President Jed Hoyer likes MLB’s balanced schedule — plus updates on Seiya Suzuki and Kyle Hendricks

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 14:12:56 GMT

A balanced schedule for Major League Baseball inherently creates some scheduling quirks.For the Chicago Cubs, that means playing more games against the American League West (12) in the first seven weeks than against their division rivals (nine). After the April 5 rainout in Cincinnati, the Cubs will go more than a month until they play another National League Central opponent — when Willson Contreras and the St. Louis Cardinals come to Wrigley Field for a three-game series beginning May 8.President of baseball operations Jed Hoyer likes the reduction of division games, even if it means a lean stretch right now of NL Central matchups. He’s enjoying getting to watch the Cubs face standouts such as the Texas Rangers’ Corey Seager and the Seattle Mariners’ Julio Rodríguez.“That’s great for us and great for the fans,” Hoyer said before Tuesday’s game against the Mariners. “Six series against the Pirates or Cardinals or Reds I don...

Franchy Cordero, Gerrit Cole lead the way as Yanks blow Guardians out

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 14:12:56 GMT

CLEVELAND — Aaron Boone isn’t sure why things never worked out for Franchy Cordero at his previous stops in San Diego, Kansas City, Boston and, this past spring, Baltimore.“I don’t know,” the Yankees manager said when asked Monday. “Game’s hard. It’s different for everyone. Some guys, it clicks early, and they have a Hall of Fame career. Some people, it takes a while longer.”One thing Boone has maintained, however, is that the corner outfielder can hit the heck out of the ball.“He’s got big time pop,” the manager said. “He’s got easy pop. The ball jumps off his bat.”Cordero showed that power again Tuesday when he launched his third home run in his sixth game with the Yankees after signing with the team just in time for Opening Day. The three-run, third inning bomb off overmatched Cleveland starter Hunter Gaddis provided an exclamation mark in the Yankees’ 11-2 series-tying win over the Gu...

I think overall, he has a command of his team.”Vaughn said he learned from Rivers how to coach superstars, which came in hand when he assumed the head coaching post after Steve Nash’s dismissal seven games into the season. He was thrust into a role that required leading two NBA superstars in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. The experim...
