Larry Galicinao, 35, was arrested by San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office deputies after they were called to reports of an arson attack which occurred in the 1100 block of Annabelle Lane in Stockton on Saturday, August 15. According to police, Galicinao has had a long-running feud with his neighbors over a parking issue. “On this particular day, Larry Galicinao decided that the best way to resolve their problems was to run into his neighbor’s apartment with a flaming gas can and douse the residents and the apartment with it,” a San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said....

It comes after months of severe drought in the region, leaving water levels in the state’s most important reservoirs well below their historical average. “Reservoirs, mainly dams at the mountain front, provide seasonal storage for water supply, in addition to storage to reduce downstream flooding,” Roger Bales, a water and climate engineer at the University of California, Merced, previously told Newsweek. “They store winter and spring rainfall and snowmelt [in the wet season], releasing that stored water during the summer growing season for irrigation and for municipal use [in the dry season]....

Basilico’s Pasta e Vino in Huntington Beach has frequently rebuffed coronavirus lockdowns and mandates, often going against the state’s suggestions to provide safety measures to slow the spread of the virus. In December, it refused to shut down during a lockdown order initiated by Governor Gavin Newsom. Then, when officials issued several orders for establishments to mandate face coverings, the Orange County restaurant declared itself a mask-free zone and required that diners remove them before entering....

In a statement, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) announced that the inmate, whose identity has not yet been released, had died in a hospital on Sunday after contracting COVID-19 at the California Institute for Men in San Bernardino County.

Starting next month, 10 percent of the first COVID-19 doses California receives will be set aside for educators and child care workers, Governor Gavin Newsom said Friday. While 35 of California’s 58 counties were already making COVID-19 vaccines available to teachers, Newsom said this move will help teachers statewide gain access to vaccine appointments. Speaking at the Alameda County Board of Education Friday morning, Newsom attributed his announcement to the state’s expected increase in vaccine supply....

But the presidents of the Quechan Tribe and a tribal nonprofit group raising money for a skate park said Friday that they won’t take any money from the Original Americans Foundation. They said they believed representatives of the foundation had a motive beyond helping tribal members in need. “No, we’re not going to accept any kind of monetary offer to side with allowing them to utilize the inappropriate name for this NFL team,” tribal president Keeny Escalanti Sr....

The fire began on Monday just before 7 a.m. PT east of Irvine, a city about 40 miles south of Los Angeles. Powerful Santa Ana winds and red flag conditions conducive to fanning wildfires helped the blaze quadruple in size throughout the day, according to CNN. The winds were so strong on Monday—clocking in at up to 60 miles per hour—that officials could not use aerial crews. Allen Schaben, a photographer for the Los Angeles Times, filmed a video showing the gusts....

Maj. Gen. Aleksandr Korzhakov, Yeltsin’s security chief and closest confidant, wasn’t the only adviser who wanted him to postpone the election. Other aides urged Yeltsin to form a government of national unity with the Communist Party candidate, Gennady Zyuganov. But Yeltsin himself still seemed to think he could win the election outright. He said he wanted to forge an alliance of some sort with another of the 11 presidential candidates, Grigory Yavlinsky, the liberal economist and champion of democracy....

In a 21-page opinion from the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this month, a three-judge panel wrote that Cannon—who granted Trump’s request for a special master in September—did not have the “jurisdiction to block the United States from using lawfully seized records in a criminal investigation.” “The law is clear,” the order read. “We cannot write a rule that allows any subject of a search warrant to block government investigations after the execution of the warrant....

Isner advanced to the second round of the Australian Open on Tuesday, but the No. 10 seed still had time to field questions at Melbourne Park about his beloved Panthers and Newton. Newton led the Panthers past the Seahawks on Sunday, sealing a place in the NFC championship game against the Cardinals.

After scoring a rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter to help seal Carolina’s ninth-straight win, Newton stood up, took a couple steps and then hit an elaborate dance. The fans were upset and started booing. The Titans were upset and started shoving. Meanwhile, the Panthers quarterback kept dancing, because that’s what he does.

The point of this piece, then, is to chart how an ignoramus (that would be me) transforms himself into an informed shopper. Does the Internet deliver on its early promise of providing vast information? Or will you get farther the old-fashioned way–going to the store and grilling a salesclerk? The problem is, even the best Web destinations don’t respond to blank stares and head-scratching. With a salesclerk, you control the conversation–but it might be a short one....

The transformation of the once Mrs. Parker Bowles into a future Queen Consort has been long, not without its complications and is by no means over. Just this month it was announced that Clarence House, the official office of Camilla and Charles, had recruited a PR guru in the form of former Daily Mail deputy editor Tobyn Andreae to head their media team, safeguarding against any future disasters. Queen Consort The biggest seal of approval given to Camilla came from Queen Elizabeth II herself in February of this year....

According to the attorney’s office, the park contained multiple warnings about bears and proper food storage, including information about bear boxes, which could be used to store food, beverages, etc. However, Arvidson still left her food unprotected and unattended. As a result, a grizzly bear was found rummaging through Arvidson’s trash and ultimately received a food reward. Once the bear was located, it was tranquilized, collared and relocated by boat to a separate area of the park, where officials hope it will not pose a threat to other park-goers....

Donnarumma crowned NxGn winner Ramos was working as a youth club coach at the time and walking to the field where his team was ready to play when he noticed a tiny kid in a game against older boys from the D.C. United academy. What caught Ramos’ eye wasn’t just that the player was so small, but rather that he was dominating his bigger opponents. That player was Pulisic....

But this shouldn’t suggest that having sex is the headache cure-all for all people. In some cases, having an orgasm could trigger a migraine or cluster headache, a condition commonly referred to as a “coital headache” or “orgasmic headache.” This article explores how sex and headaches are linked and whether an orgasm might be the cause or cure of headache pain. Orgasms and Headaches For some people, orgasms can either cause or relieve headaches, and scientists are not exactly sure why this is....

Just when their owners are heading to bed, cats often (inconveniently) spring into action. This trait is not designed to annoy us, though, but is a biological behaviour they have retained from their wild ancestors. Cats are often said to have superior eyesight, as nighttime is the most opportune time to hunt—but how true is this? Can cats see in the dark? Newsweek spoke to experts to determine more about your kitty’s unknown abilities....

Cold Water and Cancer Some strongly believe that drinking ice water with or after a meal is generally bad for you. They suggest that doing so will solidify the oily foods we consume, creating a “sludge” that contributes to the risk of gastrointestinal cancers. However, there is no scientific evidence to back this up. In fact, the temperature of drinking water only seems to affect people with certain conditions, such as achalasia....

Many experts remain skeptical–but for the 56,000 American kids whose epilepsy doesn’t respond to other treatments, the ketogenic diet offers a glimmer of hope. At 17 medical centers around the country, doctors now offer it to any child under 14 who has failed two drugs, suffers at least three seizures a week and has parents willing to make a two-year commitment. At Hopkins, Freeman and his colleagues have treated 200 kids since 1990 and are now trying the regimen in adolescents....
