2+ hour, 46+ min ago (417+ words) Installing an art exhibition can be painstaking, precise work. But it is probably not as dirty as it was for co-curators Alyssarhaye Graciano and Olivia Esparza when they helped artist rafa esparza create an adobe floor for "From Their Hands to Ours," a new exhibition at MACLA's downtown San Jose gallery. They made mud and incorporated straw and manure, and the artist ultimately left the shoes he was wearing embedded in the adobe. One of the surprising aspects of the piece is that visitors can walk around the hardened perimeter. MACLA is at 510 S. First St. in downtown San Jose and is open Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Admission is free except for special events.

4+ hour, 15+ min ago (325+ words) The Tennessee Titans (2-11) will take on the San Francisco 49ers (9-4) this Sunday afternoon at Levi's Stadium in their 14th game of the 2025 regular season. Opening the week, the Titans were listed as 12.5-point road underdogs, and that's where the spread remains as of this writing. How does the Titans Wire staff see this Week 15 battle shaking out? Here's a look at our picks and score predictions. Coming off their bye, San Francisco starts fast and takes an early lead behind the combination of Christian McCaffrey and Brock Purdy, forcing Tennessee to play catch-up. Cam Ward has a solid game and rallies the Titans to within striking distance, but the defense had no answer for McCaffrey, who puts the game away with an explosive touchdown late. The 49ers have a propensity to play close games this season, and although they've increased their margin over…...

Currently slotted as the No. 6 seed, the 49ers (9-4) close their regular season with 3-of-4 games at Levi's Stadium, starting Sunday there against the bottom-dwelling Tennessee Titans (2-11). "This will be a big game for us to see, "Hey, can we go out and score a ton of points?' My expectation is "yes' and my hope is "yes,' " tight end George Kittle said.

5+ hour, 16+ min ago (688+ words) As California again delays controversial rules requiring homeowners in fire-prone areas to maintain a 5-foot "ember-resistant" zone around their houses, a new report finds that properties that were already close to that standard were much less likely to be destroyed in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires in January. With ashes still smoldering, researchers with the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety, an industry-backed group, surveyed 252 homes that had been in the path of the blazes in Altadena and Pacific Palisades. The group determined that of homes with more than half of their 5-foot zone covered in vegetation or other combustible material, 27% were completely destroyed. That share fell to 9% for homes with flammable material covering less than a quarter of the zone. Roy Wright, chief executive of the institute, said the findings reveal that "there are ways that we can narrow…...

6+ hour, 1+ min ago (682+ words) This column is a waste of your time. Because it's about voter ID. And every minute spent on voter ID is a minute lost forever. Unfortunately, California is joining a pointless national debate over whether to require voters to show government-issued identification when they vote. The occasion is a ballot initiative, from San Diego state assemblymember Carl DeMaio, now being circulated for the November 2026 ballot. Under current law, when Californians register to vote, we must affirm under penalty of perjury that we are U.S. citizens and must provide verification information, including our dates-of-birth, Social Security numbers or driver's licenses. The initiative goes further, adding a state constitutional amendment requiring voters to present government-issued identification at the polls, or the last four digits of a government-issued ID when voting by mail. Proponents of the initiative say voter ID is necessary to prevent voter…...
