Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:17:16 GMT

The Marked Men and Generacion Suicida at Zebulon: Denton, TX punks the Marked Men have been active since 2002, releasing four quality albums in those 21 years. They have their work cut out for them at Zebulon though, as they’re on a bill with L.A.’s own Generacion Suicida. The local Spanish-language punks with the motto “musica del barrio, para el barrio” (music from the neighborhood, for the neighborhood) only do great shows, they never let anyone down, and this one will be fierce. Supercrush also performs.We spoke to Tony Abarca of Generacion Suicida back in 2020, and he told us that, “We started playing in 2010, about 10 years ago. We were just young kids — we got together, we started jamming out to have fun. To be honest, I don’t think any of us really thought that anyone would ever even listen to our music so we just ran with it and had a whole bunch of fun. Here we are today and we’re still playing, we’re still recording records and stuff. Initially, when we first started, the...

Scientists finally know why people get more colds and flu in winter

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:17:16 GMT

By Sandee LaMotte | CNNThere’s a chill is in the air, and you all know what that means — it’s time for cold and flu season, when it seems everyone you know is suddenly sneezing, sniffling or worse. It’s almost as if those pesky cold and flu germs whirl in with the first blast of winter weather.Yet germs are present year-round — just think back to your last summer cold. So why do people get more colds, flu and now Covid-19 when it’s chilly outside?In what they called a “breakthrough,” scientists uncovered the biological reason we get more respiratory illnesses in winter — the cold air itself damages the immune response occurring in the nose.“This is the first time that we have a biologic, molecular explanation regarding one factor of our innate immune response that appears to be limited by colder temperatures,” said rhinologist Dr. Zara Patel, a professor of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine in California. She was not involved in the n...

Homicides in city shoot past 100 for 4th consecutive year

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:17:16 GMT

(BCN) -- Oakland hit a grim milestone last week as the city passed 100 homicides recorded so far in 2023, according to the latest data from the Oakland Police Department.Between Oct. 9 and Sunday, six people were killed in Oakland, bringing the year-to-date total to 104. This makes 2023 the fourth consecutive year that the number of homicides in the city shot past 100, the Oakland Police Officers' Association said in a statement Monday. Five people charged for alleged retail theft at Walgreens last week By the same time last year, the city had already recorded 105 homicides. In 2021, there were 110 homicides by mid-October. The last year homicides in Oakland did not reach 100 was in 2019, when the city recorded a total of 78 killings, the police union noted"These statistics paint a stark picture of Oakland's public safety crisis, marked by a shortage of law enforcement personnel, the absence of a permanent police chief, and a mayoral administration that lacks a comprehensive publi...

19 suspects go on trial in Paris in deaths of 39 migrants who suffocated in a truck in 2019

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:17:16 GMT

PARIS (AP) — A trial opened in Paris on Tuesday of 19 people suspected of playing critical roles in a smuggling operation that went awry and sent 39 Vietnamese migrants to their deaths four years ago when they were locked inside a stifling hot truck trailer. Courts in Britain, where the truck was found on Oct. 23, 2019, and in Belgium, where the truck boarded an English Channel ferry, have already tried and convicted 23 people.Most of those facing justice in Paris are French helpers in a highly structured network who face charges including aiding the illegal entry into France of the migrants and criminal association. Four of the 19, all Vietnamese, are also charged with manslaughter. The defendants risk 10 years in prison.Among the 19 are taxi drivers, apartment landlords in the Paris suburbs who housed the migrants and organizers who considered the travelers “like chickens that you stack up,” according to the investigating magistrates’ file.“The arguments advanced by the Vietnamese...

General Motors delays electric pickup truck production at plant near Detroit as US EV demand slows

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:17:16 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — General Motors will delay electric pickup truck production at a factory near Detroit due to slowing U.S. demand for electric vehicles, to better manage its capital investments, and to make some engineering changes.The company said in a statement Tuesday that the factory in Orion Township, Michigan, will instead start making electric Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups in late 2025. Originally the company had planned to start production sometime next year.GM spokesman Kevin Kelly said the change has nothing to do with the ongoing four-week partial strike by members of the United Auto Workers union. “What’s happening in the marketplace does play a factor,” said Kelly, who added that the company wants to make engineering changes that will improve the trucks’ profitability.About 1,000 workers at the Orion plant will keep building the Chevrolet Bolt hatchback small electric car and Bolt electric utility vehicle through the end of this year as planned, th...
