Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:06:03 GMT

ST. LOUIS - FC Cincinnati officially clinched a spot in this year's MLS Cup Playoffs before anyone else Wednesday evening. Could St. Louis CITY SC be next to punch their ticket to the big dance? St. Louis also picked up a key victory Wednesday over FC Dallas, prevailing behind two late goals and expanding their Western Conference lead by seven points. The thriller also helps CITY close the gap to what is mathematically needed to clinch playoffs in their inaugural season. Now with a 15-2-9 record for 47 points, CITY SC has already reached the range of playoff cuspers from recent seasons and looks poised for fortunes beyond the regular season. However, the City Boys might need to wait until mid-September to officially celebrate a secured playoff spot, and the expanded playoff pool of nine teams in each conference certainly factors into it. October playoffs take on new meaning in St. Louis To calculate how soon CITY SC might clinch the playoffs, keep this in mind: FC Cincinnati now ...

Alleged co-founder of ‘Murder Mob’ Concord Sureño gang sentenced to 9 years for drug conspiracy

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:06:03 GMT

OAKLAND — A Martinez resident who allegedly became a leader of a Concord Sureño gang subset, then founded his own clique called the Murder Mob, has been sentenced to nine years in federal prison for conspiring to sell cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin, court records show.The sentence imposed on 27-year-old Jose Ignacio Ochoa — who authorities say is known by the nickname “Diver” — was roughly 30 months more than what even federal prosecutors argued for. But Ochoa’s legal problems are far from over; he still faces unresolved charges in Contra Costa County alleging that in 2015, he murdered a man named Erick Cruz over a dispute involving a .357 revolver.The sentence was imposed by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White. Prosecutors argued for a 78-month sentence, while the defense argued for a five-year term, citing Ochoa’s involvement in “religious services” at Santa Rita Jail and “remorse” for his drug trafficking crime...

Air-quality advisory in effect for Bay Area, but cleaner skies expected

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:06:03 GMT

A haze of brown and gray hovered above the East Bay portion of the Bay Area as the sun rose for the final time in August this year, and fresh air smelled non-existent.In this case, however, it was not a tone-setter for the rest of Thursday, according to air quality officials.“We’re seeing a difference in the amount of wildfire smoke,” Bay Area Air Quality Management District spokesperson Tina Landis said. “We’re really expecting to see improvement as the day goes on.”An air quality advisory remained in effect through midnight, a day after the district issued a Spare the Air alert. Advisories were issued in two straight days leading up to the Spare the Air.More clearing is on the horizon, according to Landis and weather forecasters. Northerly winds that helped funnel wild-fire smoke from vegetation fires burning in southern Oregon and far Northern California into the region are expected to shift into a more normal Bay Area pattern.Air-quality index...

Trump pleads not guilty to Georgia election subversion charges

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:06:03 GMT

By Kate Brumback | Associated PressATLANTA — Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday and sought to sever his case from other defendants who are accused along with him of illegally trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee had set arraignment hearings for Trump and the 18 others charged in the case for Sept. 6. A court filing waiving arraignment means Trump won’t have to show up for that.The decision to skip an in-person appearance averts the dramatic arraignments that have accompanied the three other criminal cases Trump faces, in which the Republican former president has been forced amid tight security into a courtroom and entered “not guilty” pleas before crowds of spectators. Georgia courts have fairly permissive rules on news cameras in the courtroom, and this step means Trump won’t have to enter a plea on television.An attorney for Trump also asked McAfee on Thursda...

By Jamie Gumbrecht | CNNAn outbreak of illnesses after a Tough Mudder race in Sonoma County, California, this month has reached about 300 cases, the county estimated Wednesday.The Sonoma County Department of Health Services issued a health advisory last week after reports of rash, fever, muscle pain, nausea and vomiting among participants in the August 19-20 Tough Mudder event at Sonoma Raceway.Matt Brown, a spokesman for Sonoma County, said Wednesday that 300 cases is a “conservative estimate.”“The Tough Mudder race involved extensive skin exposure to mud.
