'Notorious fence' arrested again in San Francisco, prosecutors say

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:16:54 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- A San Francisco man described by prosecutors as a "notorious fence" was arrested for reselling a stockpile of stolen valuables. Quoc Le, 32, was arrested by police officers on May 18 at his home on Alemany Boulevard. Prosecutors charged Le with possession of stolen goods for the third time in four years.  Le was already facing the same charges for crimes that occurred in 2019 and 2022. Le was released from custody in those cases and was subject to court-ordered GPS monitoring. While out on bail, Le continued selling stolen valuables, prosecutors said. "Fences, people who sell stolen goods for profit, play a major role in the criminal theft rings that plague our city," District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said. "The fact that thieves know they can easily sell their stolen goods to these fences incentives them to steal more and more. It is imperative that we do everything we can to undermine these sophisticated criminal networks and prevent on-going theft and prope...

Movie review: Julia Louis-Dreyfus reteams with Nicole Holofcener in ‘You Hurt My Feelings’

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:16:54 GMT

If I didn’t like Nicole Holofcener’s latest film, would I tell her?OK, sure, it wouldn’t be so odd for a critic to give an unvarnished opinion. But what about a sibling? Or a spouse? If they didn’t care for Holofcener’s movie, what’s more important: Being honest or making a loved one feel good about themselves? Do any of us really want straightforward feedback or do we just want emotional support?That’s the rich vein that Holofcener, a master of nagging neuroses, mines so expertly in “You Hurt My Feelings” – a film that I very much adored. I swear.For Holofcener, something as commonplace as little white lies between a married couple is just as fertile territory as, say, time travel is to Christopher Nolan. To her, such a minefield of insecurity is a playground. And in “You Hurt My Feelings,” it’s glorious — albeit in a profoundly awkward way that can be mortifying — to watch her at play. Beth (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), a writer, and her husband, Don (Tobias Menzies), a therapist, are a ...

Pennsylvania high court appears split over plan to force power plants to pay for carbon emissions

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:16:54 GMT

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Justices on Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court indicated Wednesday that they are likely to have split opinions on whether a governor has the right to force power plant owners to pay for their planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions, or whether he first needs approval from a Legislature that refuses to go along with the plan.Hanging in the balance is Pennsylvania’s effort to become the first major fossil fuel-producing state to adopt carbon pricing.On Wednesday, the state’s highest court listened to arguments on whether a lower court was right last summer to halt Pennsylvania’s participation in a multistate consortium that imposes a price and declining cap on carbon dioxide emissions from power plants.But the justices repeatedly turned the conversation to the underlying legal question still being considered by the lower court: whether former Gov. Tom Wolf usurped the Legislature’s constitutional authority to approve any form of taxation.In that dispute, R...

Houser continues his surge as Brewers win 4-0, shut out Astros for 2nd straight game

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:16:54 GMT

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Adrian Houser’s emergence is providing a major boost for the Milwaukee Brewers’ decimated pitching staff.Houser allowed two hits in 5 1/3 scoreless innings and the Brewers homered three times in a 4-0 victory over the Houston Astros on Wednesday afternoon. This comes five days after Houser pitched six shutout innings in a 1-0 loss at Tampa Bay.His surge is a huge lift for a Brewers pitching staff that is dealing with shoulder injuries to two-time All-Star Brandon Woodruff, Eric Lauer, Wade Miley and Aaron Ashby.“We’re thin on starting pitching right now, but you can’t put pressure on yourself,” Houser said. “The game’s already hard enough as it is. So you just have to go out there, have fun, relax and go compete your butt off.”Willy Adames hit a two-run homer in the first inning to put the Brewers ahead for good. Owen Miller and Brian Anderson added solo shots in the seventh.That was more than enough offense for Houser (1-0), who struck out three a...

Donaldson to start rehab assignment Thursday, Stanton not far behind

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:16:54 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson will start a minor league injury rehabilitation assignment on Thursday and slugger Giancarlo Stanton could begin one as soon as this weekend.New York manager Aaron Boone said Donaldson, sidelined since April 5 by a strained right hamstring, will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre on Thursday. His first rehab assignment was cut short after one game with Double-A Somerset on April 18.Boone said Donaldson likely will play the field on Thursday, be a designated hitter Friday, be off Saturday and play Sunday. New York opens a three-game series in Seattle on Monday, then plays at the Los Angeles Dodgers starting June 2.“Possibly in Seattle, probably more likely later in the week, just because he’s been down for so long,” Boone said of Donaldson’s return, speaking before Wednesday’s game against Baltimore. “We’ll kind of evaluate at the end of Sunday, assuming we get there and everything is going well, whether we want t...

Lamar Jackson at voluntary practice for Ravens after skipping last year’s

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:16:54 GMT

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Lamar Jackson has a simple explanation for why he decided to participate in voluntary practices for the Baltimore Ravens this year.“New offense,” he said. “Had to get that down pat before the season rolls in. Because the season’s getting nearer, even though we got a couple months left. But still, just wanted to learn the new offense and get with my guys.”The Ravens are going through something of a honeymoon phase after reaching a $260 million, five-year deal with Jackson late last month. His presence on the practice field Wednesday was another positive sign. Jackson skipped this part of Baltimore’s offseason work last year, although he attended the mandatory camps. His earlier arrival this year comes as the Ravens prepare for the season under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken. Jackson is hopeful Baltimore will be able to create big plays in the passing game and rely less on the run — including his own running.“Just being able to throw the bal...
