California condors killed by avian flu for first time, increasing risk to famed species

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 08:51:03 GMT

A new and growing threat is facing California condors, America’s largest bird with wingspans that can stretch 9 feet and which have slowly recovered from the brink of extinction in recent decades.A highly contagious strain of avian influenza has killed at least 18 of the massive birds around the Grand Canyon in Arizona over the past month. And now California biologists are scrambling address what could be a catastrophic setback if condors in Big Sur and other parts of the state become infected.“The disease has moved so quickly,” said Kelly Sorenson, executive director of the Ventana Wildlife Society, a non-profit group that has released condors into the wilds around Big Sur and San Simeon since 1997. “And a vaccine development has not. We are in a very tough spot.”“We are preparing for a worst case scenario,” he added. “It has the potential to be devastating to the population.”Sorenson’s organization this week purchased 10 ...

How the Warriors can shed road woes with easier travel to Sacramento

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 08:51:03 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Golden State Warriors were one of the worst road teams in the NBA this season. But they can create a slight home court advantage against the Sacramento Kings in this first round playoff series.The Kings’ fast-paced offense will be its own challenge, but that only 90 miles down I-80 separate both teams weakens the Kings’ home-court advantage. After many playoff series through the years flying across the country to New Orleans, Memphis, Oklahoma City or all three arenas in Texas, the Warriors can enjoy a travel day that only requires a 90-minute bus ride.“In the playoffs, whenever you can minimize travel, we really appreciate that for sure,” Jordan Poole said.The Warriors have the worst road record, 11-30, of any playoff team. Do the road woes lessen without all the travel traps?Poole — in his second career playoff appearance — made clear there’s a significant difference on players’ sleep schedule and physical b...

Warriors bringing Wiggins off bench would mimic 2022 Curry plan

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 08:51:03 GMT

The Warriors could start the 2023 playoffs like they started the 2022 postseason: with a key starter coming off the bench.Andrew Wiggins, who returned to the Warriors last week after more than a month away due to a family matter, may not return directly to the starting lineup when he steps on the court in the playoffs.Coach Steve Kerr said Thursday that Wiggins looked great, was feeling good “and ready to go”, but did not outline a full plan for the forward in Saturday’s series opener against the Kings in Sacramento. The Athletic reported that Golden State is leaning toward deploying him off the bench and will play under a 25-minute restriction.Last season, the Warriors brought Steph Curry off the bench for the first four games of their first-round series against the Nuggets. He averaged 27.5 points in those four games, and the Warriors closed out Denver in Game 5 after moving him back into the starting lineup.Wiggins was said to be feeling good after scrimmaging on back...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 08:51:03 GMT

A recently leaked cache of highly classified U.S. intelligence reports sheds light on the growing risk of a U.S. conflict with Iran, as well as apparent Israeli efforts to directly involve the U.S. in operations targeting Iranian interests in the Middle East. The documents expose the sensitivity of the geopolitical situation, and how tension between Russia and Israel could escalate dramatically in the context of Russia’s war in Ukraine.The set of classified documents is reported to have been shared online in a gaming forum. Police on Thursday arrested a 21-year-old U.S. Air Force National Guardsman named Jack Teixeira on suspicion of involvement in the leak.A briefing document dated February 28, marked “Top Secret” and prepared by the Defense Intelligence Agency, details four scenarios it considers possible under which Israel could provide lethal aid to Ukraine — something Washington has sought but that Israel, which has ties to Russia, has refused to do.In one plausible scenario, t...
