Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:27:37 GMT

Seemingly nobody is panicked about the Warriors’ Game 1 loss to the Lakers Tuesday night at Chase Center.Los Angeles was better rested after the Warriors had to beat the Kings in an intense Game 7 Sunday in Sacramento.

Only 33 (7.4%) have recovered to win their series. The Warriors just did that la...

Death Valley: Woman picks up rabid bat outside store and is bitten

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:27:37 GMT

A woman who picked up a bat that was “behaving strangely” outside a Death Valley store was bitten and now is being treated for rabies exposure, the National Park Service said.The bat was sitting on a garbage can outside the Stovepipe Wells General Store on Friday, April 29.A store employee picked it up to move it to an area with less foot traffic, and the animal bit her through her rubber gloves.A test determined the bat had rabies, and the employee is undergoing treatment in case she was infected. Rabies can be fatal to humans, and it can be transmitted when the animal’s saliva gets into a wound. The park service’s press release on the incident said at least nine species of insect-eating bats live in Death Valley National Park. Typically, less than 1% of bats have rabies, it said.

‘I am a White person:’ UC Berkeley scholar apologizes for wrongly claiming to be Native American her ‘whole life’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:27:37 GMT

When Elizabeth Hoover was hired as an associate professor by UC Berkeley in 2020, the anthropologist was hailed in the campus media as one of the small but growing number of Native American scholars who could help make the campus a more welcoming place for learning and research into Native American history, culture and contemporary issues.But that promise is now mired in controversy, with Hoover admitting she’s “a White person” who “incorrectly” claimed to be Native American for her “whole life.” The situation has prompted calls for Hoover’s resignation and sparked concerns among her students and Native American scholars about UC Berkeley’s academic integrity and respect for authentic Native identity.On Monday, Hoover issued an apology that confirmed what other Native American scholars and activists had been saying about her for more than than a year — that the Ivy League-educated expert on environmental health and food justice in Nati...
