1+ hour, 36+ min ago (1168+ words) Chicago in December has the kind of cold that doesn't spare a single inch. But the warmest place in the Windy City might have been the chair occupied by Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga at United Center Sunday night. A "DNP-Coach's Decision" for a healthy, former No. 7 overall pick who just signed a contract making him the Warriors' fourth-highest-paid player isn't a message or nudge. It is a scream. It's Steve Kerr standing on the scorers' table with a megaphone, announcing to the league that he would rather play a rotating cast of try-hards and NBA geriatrics than watch Kuminga miss another box-out, treat a defensive rotation like a strictly optional suggestion, or stop the ball dead for another 10-dribble isolation experiment. This is the final salvo. The final straw. Kerr is telling Kuminga: Buy in, do the "little things," and…...

1+ hour, 41+ min ago (279+ words) A handful of East Bay pet owners already struggling with the loss of their furry family members are now facing new heartache. Thom Jensen reports. Security camera footage from Saturday shows two people smashing through the front door at the Central Boulevard Veterinary Hospital in Brentwood. The thieves took four urns filled with the cremated remains of animals. "Why even rob a place like this?" Brentwood resident Pat Ireland said. "They're family-owned. They're lovely people. We love bringing our pets here." The burglary is also hitting home for Jennifer Guzman, who said when the unfortunate day arrives, she plans to have her dog cremated at the hospital -- a place she has been coming to for the past 19 years.

(AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar) Notre Dame was excluded from the College Football Playoff as the loser of a three-team resume showdown that propelled Miami and Alabama into the at-large field and left the Irish to whine, complain and ultimately storm off to their bedroom, slam the door and refuse to come out for bowl season. The shock and horror in South Bend was rooted in the CFP selection committee's last-minute change of heart, mind and soul. After ranking Notre Dame above Miami for five weeks, the committee flipped the teams on Sunday morning even though neither played on Championship Saturday. The Hurricanes, who beat Notre Dame head-to-head, grabbed the…...

3+ hour, 5+ min ago (459+ words) Re: "Apple, Tesla facing lawsuits" (Page C9, Dec. 4). The article about a lawsuit filed against Tesla and Apple for environmental abuses shows that environmental oversight of corporations is vital. That's why members of Climate Hope Affiliates are encouraging our congressional representatives and senators to fund the Environmental Protection Agency as they create a budget for fiscal year 2026. I hope that people who read this letter will do the same thing. All the budget proposals being considered cut the EPA's budget, but in the Senate's version, the cut is only 5%, and it has bipartisan support. That's what we need to be pushing. If you think the government needs more tax money, think again. The Alameda County Board of Supervisors just transferred $3.5 million from homeless services to the undocumented. The state of California just lost $450 million for a 911 service that didn't work when…...
