Long before the Pac-12’s legal dispute, before the collapse and the Comcast scandal and even before the Los Angeles schools fled for a greener pasture, commissioner George Kliavkoff decided to shutter the conference office and relocate the Pac-12 Networks’ production studio.Kliavkoff eventually settled on office space in the East Bay city of San Ramon. The conference declined to disclose contract terms but said the move would save millions of dollars per year in rent.For some, the timing was curious. Kliavkoff committed to a multi-year lease on 42,000 square feet that began this summer — before he had secured a media rights deal that would keep the conference together.All these months later, the Pac-12 has imploded, 10 schools are leaving, two have been left behind and everyone is seeking clarity on the Pac-12’s assets and liabilities.Is the San Ramon production facility the former or latter? At the very least, it stands as one of the most confounding aspects of th...Man killed in Richmond freeway crash

A consumer group says California’s Department of Insurance communications obtained through a records request show the commissioner’s proposed fixes to the state’s troubled home insurance market announced last month were drafted in private discussions with insurance lobbyists.Consumer Watchdog’s records request, aimed at pulling back the curtain on a failed closed-door legislative effort to address insurance market concerns, yielded only three emailed documents totaling 20 pages. Those late-August emails to and from Deputy Insurance Commissioner Michael Martinez, various insurance lobbyists and representatives of the governor and legislative leaders include draft language of a bill that never materialized, but is similar to a proposal Commissioner Ricardo Lara later announced Sept. 21.“These documents prove Commissioner Lara’s deal with the insurance industry is an outrageous fraud on the public that will make Californians pay vastly more for insur...How a single year of Elon Musk turned Twitter into a husk of its former self

By Brian Fung and Clare Duffy | CNNNew York — It’s been one year to the day since Elon Musk completed his purchase of Twitter for $44 billion and set the company, along with its employees and users, off on a whiplash-inducing series of twists and turns.Twelve months on, the company barely resembles its former self — and not only because Musk renamed it “X” and did away with its iconic blue bird branding. Through a dizzying and haphazard barrage of changes, Musk has transformed a profitable company once regarded as the world’s go-to source for breaking news and political commentary into a widely ridiculed platform that’s fighting just to break even and crippled by debt; that’s struggling to manage spam and disinformation; that’s alienated some of its biggest advertisers and users; and that’s casting about for purpose.Even as Musk — and new CEO Linda Yaccarino — push their vision for X as an “everything app,” the company has seemingly no clear path back to prominence or respectabilit...‘It’s not a possum, it’s a person’: Man missing for a month is found dead in chimney

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Zay Jones won’t play at Pittsburgh on Sunday because of a lingering right knee injury.Coach Doug Pederson ruled Jones out Friday, saying he will miss his fifth game in six weeks. Since the Jaguars (5-2) have a bye after facing the Steelers, Jones will have extra time to get healthy before the team’s Nov. 12 game against the 49ers.“We’ll see where he’s at after (the bye),” Pederson said.Jones has eight catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns this season. He injured his knee against Kansas City in Week 2 and missed the next two games. He returned against Buffalo in London and caught three passes for 23 yards and a score before re-injuring his knee. He hasn’t played since.Without Jones on the field as Jacksonville’s No. 3 receiver, defenses have been able to pay more attention to Calvin Ridley. Ridley has been held to 40 yards receiving or less in the five games Jones has been out or injured.___AP NFL...Latest news
