Cal confident it can beat another SEC school as Auburn comes to Berkeley

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 22:25:49 GMT

BERKELEY — Jaydn Ott had to know Auburn’s players might read his remarks. But the message was intended for his teammates.“There’s a lot of focus on the name Auburn,” Cal’s sophomore running back said this week in advance of the Tigers’ visit to Memorial Stadium on Saturday night. “And, you know, what I see on film is just like, not really in comparison to what their name is.“So I just want to get that in my guys’ heads, you know, the name doesn’t mean anything. At the end of the day, they’re still human and we have just as much of a chance as they do to go in there and get a win.”Auburn (1-0) is a 6.5-point favorite over the Bears (1-0) in the first-ever meeting between the programs. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. with the game on ESPN.Ott, who ran for 188 yards and two touchdowns in Cal’s 58-21 win at North Texas last week, went on to say it will be “very encouraging when we do get this win.”Told he sounded rather confident that Cal will win, Ott responded, “Yeah, we are.”The Bears hav...

Considering leaving the US for good? Here’s what to think about before you move abroad

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 22:25:49 GMT

By Blane Bachelor | CNNSocial media’s seemingly infinite stream of #expatlife content — from digital nomads in Estonia, new owners of old houses in Italy and retirees in Mexico — can sometimes paint the picture that everyone is ditching the United States for life in another country.While it’s not quite a mass exodus, the number of Americans who live outside the US is not insignificant. About 9 million US citizens may live overseas, according to a 2020 State Department estimate. And about 15% of Americans polled by Gallup in 2022 said they wanted to leave the US permanently.According to those who have done it, the often-gushy accounts of expats’ new lives overseas obscure an important part of the story: that, as enchanting and exciting as living abroad can be, making it happen requires vast amounts of perseverance, preparation and soul-searching.The best way for potential emigrants to start the process, many recommend, is by asking some hard questions about why you want to leave the ...

TikTok ban on state worker phones won't happen in CA this year

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 22:25:49 GMT

(BCN/CM) -- California won't join more than 30 other states and the federal government in banning the TikTok app on state phones and devices -- at least not this year. Senate Bill 74 -- a bipartisan effort between Sens. Bill Dodd, a Napa Democrat, and Brian Jones, a San Diego Republican -- was shelved while it was on the Assembly floor for a vote before the Legislature adjourns next Thursday, even though it had a relatively smooth path. The Senate passed the bill 40-0 in late May, with an urgency clause to take effect immediately after being signed by the governor, and it breezed through Assembly committees, including a 16-0 vote last Friday to get out of the appropriations suspense file. Square outage resolved after multiple service disruptions But now, it's a two-year bill and won't be considered again until 2024. Dodd said the bill was held after Gov. Gavin Newsom's office reached out to him about waiting on findings of a study ordered by the governor Wednesday th...
