Back-to-back losses show Avalanche has work to do when desperate foes are dialed in

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:55:32 GMT

PITTSBURGH — The day before they played the then-undefeated Avalanche, multiple veteran players on the Pittsburgh Penguins roster offered a warning: If their scuffling club didn’t play better and pay attention to important details, the visiting team was going to punish them.Two days later, Buffalo coach Don Granato offered a very similar message before his Sabres played host to the Avalanche. Both teams put forth arguably the best performances of their young seasons, and the Avs went home on a two-game losing streak.The Avalanche has plenty of experience “getting their best shot” from opponents. Colorado just spent last season as the reigning Stanley Cup champion. Just seeing the champs on the schedule can give any team an extra boost.But after back-to-back performances in which the Avs suddenly looked vulnerable after a dominant 6-0 start, does this edition still need to figure some things out when the opponent shows up locked in?“Oh yeah, no question,...

House Republicans attempt to block funding for California High-Speed Rail

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:55:32 GMT

The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives is attempting to prevent President Joe Biden from awarding federal grant funding to the California High-Speed Rail Authority.Legislation presented by GOP lawmakers would dramatically cut spending on passenger train programs, including more than a 60% cut to Amtrak, and a direct block of any federal funding to be awarded to California's high-speed rail projects.The California High-Speed Rail Authority is currently awaiting word on a federal grant that would award it around $2.8 billion which it says would allow it to complete the initial operating segment between Merced to Bakersfield, allow for the purchase of six electric trainsets and construct the rail station in Fresno. CAHSR is also seeking a multi-year funding agreement that would result in around $8 billion in grant funds to be allocated for the state's most ambitious public transportation infrastructure project in history.

Biden’s new executive order on AI expected to boost Silicon Valley

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:55:32 GMT

A lengthy executive order on artificial intelligence signed Monday by President Joe Biden is expected to give a big boost to AI development in Silicon Valley.Bay Area experts say the guidelines and government oversight promised in the order, a whopping 20,000-word document, will lend confidence to significant numbers of potential business customers who have not yet embraced the technology, which Silicon Valley companies have been furiously developing.Organizations of virtually every kind have been “kicking the tires” on the technology but are holding off on adoption over safety and security concerns, and revenue from the sale of AI technology has been low, said Chon Tang, a venture capitalist and general partner at SkyDeck, UC Berkeley’s startup accelerator. Confidence instilled by the president’s order will likely change that, Tang said.“You’re really going to see hospitals and banks and insurance companies and corporates of every kind saying, ‘O...
