Warriors add young center on two-way deal

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:25:54 GMT

The Warriors signed a former Rockets center in their hunt for a backup big man, but it was not Dwight Howard, whose meeting with the team last week drew interest online.Instead, Golden State has signed Usman Garuba to a two-way contract, meaning he can bounce between the NBA and the Warriors’ G League team in Santa Cruz.Garuba, 21, is a 2021 first-round pick who played backup minutes for Houston last season after splitting time between the NBA and G League as a rookie.He played in 75 games for the Rockets in 2022-23, averaging 12.9 minutes per game. He scored only 3.0 points per game but averaged 4.1 rebounds in those limited minutes.

UC Berkeley frat house raided, police seize stolen sign worth $25,000

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:25:54 GMT

BERKELEY — Police here are investigating the theft of a $25,000 sign that was stolen from outside a university dormitory and ended up on the roof of a nearby fraternity house, authorities said.In a Sept. 13 law enforcement operation, UC Berkeley police recovered the sign from the Sigma Chi fraternity at 2345 College Ave., authorities said. The sign had been stolen five days earlier from the Christian Hall dormitory on Durant Avenue, authorities said.While the incident has all the makings of a fraternity prank, UC Berkeley police treated it as a felony investigation. The sign was bolted into the cement and cost roughly $3,000 to install, well past the $400 threshold for felony vandalism in California. With an estimated value of $25,000, it also qualifies as a felony grand theft under state law.The trouble started Sept. 8, when a UC Berkeley employee reported the theft. Four days later, a UC Berkeley student spotted the sign on the Sigma Chi roof. Police say it had been spray pa...

Indian Rasoi takes over Cafe Colucci space in Oakland

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:25:54 GMT

Oakland’s upper Temescal District was deprived of a spot for highly spiced foods from across the world when Cafe Colucci, a popular Ethiopian eatery now hosting a Michelin-cred pop-up, departed for a location farther away.That void’s filled at last with the arrival of Indian Rasoi in the old Colucci space at 6427 Telegraph Ave. It’s a colorfully decorated restaurant specializing in the cuisine of Northern India – long-simmered curries, tandoori-grilled meats, hot chai and cold lassi.Rasoi opened earlier this month and on a recent stop-in, appeared to be doing brisk take-out business. A few diners sat in the main room under a rainbow canopy of hanging fabric and inverted umbrellas. A grand opening sign flapped in the wind, beckoning residents in this borderland of Oakland and Berkeley and passing students from the UC campus up the street.The menu has the standard Indian breakdown of appetizers (samosas, pakora, some crispy chaats), biryani, curries (lamb, chicken, s...

By Daniel Dale | CNNFormer President Donald Trump made a series of inflammatory social media posts on Sunday in which, among other things, he lied that Senate Democrats rigged the 2020 election and baselessly accused the company that owns NBC and MSNBC of treason.The 2020 electionSince November 2020, when Trump lost the presidential election to Joe Biden, he has lied dozens of times that the free and fair election was “rigged” and “stolen.” In a post on Sunday, Trump added an additional false claim on top of the usual false claim – this time declaring that Senate Democrats perpetrated the (nonexistent) election theft.Trump was addressing last week’s federal indictment of Sen. Bob Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, on corruption charges Menendez denies. Trump asked why the FBI doesn’t raid the homes of “Senate Democrat’s” like it searched his Florida home last year for classified documents he had retained after his presidency – baselessly calling that court-approved search illegal.
