Coronation organizers wonder if Prince Harry will be a ‘no-show,’ report says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:31:52 GMT

Even though Prince Harry finally let Buckingham Palace know — more than a week after the RVSP deadline passed — that he would be attending King Charles III’s coronation Saturday, he’s still keeping organizers in suspense about key details about his plans.Sources told The Mail on Sunday that Harry has yet to let organizers know “when he is coming, where is staying, when he is going back and whether he is happy with his seating position” in Westminster Abbey. Organizers even suspect he could pull out at the last minute.The Sun reported last week that Harry’s solo trip to the UK — without his wife Meghan Markle — to see father Charles and stepmother Camilla crowned king and queen probably will be a short — just 24 hours at most. He’ll attend the 11 a.m. service, then pop back on an airplane so he can fly back to the United States and join Meghan in Montecito to celebrate their son Archie’s fourth birthday.But this ...

Paltrow denied bid to recoup attorney’s fees in ski crash lawsuit

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:31:52 GMT

By Sam Metz | Associated PressSALT LAKE CITY — Gwyneth Paltrow will not recoup the attorneys’ fees she paid to successfully defend herself against a lawsuit from a 76-year-old retired optometrist who claimed she was at fault for crashing into him at a posh Utah ski resort in 2016.In a final judgment published on Saturday, a Utah judge affirmed the jury’s unanimous verdict finding Terry Sanderson — the man who collided with Paltrow — to be “100% at fault,” awarding Paltrow the $1 she sought in a countersuit, and leaving attorneys’ fees for District Court Judge Kent Holmberg to decide.The judgment said Paltrow would not seek attorneys’ fees and Sanderson would not appeal the verdict, effectively ending a protracted legal battle seven years after the two crashed on a beginner run near the base of Deer Valley Resort in Utah.Representatives for both Paltrow and Sanderson were not immediately available to answer questions about the final judgment or the...

Steph Curry’s dazzling, record-setting Game 7 performance in Sacramento carried the Warriors into the second round of the NBA playoffs.For anyone who has seen Curry take over a critical game for Golden State, the 50-point showing was no huge surprise, even if Curry’s play itself was breathtaking.Count Draymond Green among those who expected the two-time MVP to rise to the occasion. He knew Saturday that Curry had something special in store.Green explained the story on his podcast: He sent a text to his fellow longtime Warriors, Curry and Klay Thompson, in the wee hours following Golden State’s Game 6 loss, saying he couldn’t sleep in the wake of the “gut punch” they had received from the Kings.Curry replied a few hours later saying he couldn’t sleep either and that he wanted to be the one to address their teammates ahead of Saturday’s film study, rather than leaving the more vocal Green to do it. What followed from Curry prepared the W...

Cécile McLorin Salvant brings her search for spirits to SFJAZZ 

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:31:52 GMT

Perhaps it’s her gargantuan talent, or a fervid childhood imagination fueled by fairytales and folk legends, but somewhere along the line Cécile McLorin Salvant acquired an abiding fascination with myths and monsters.“The stories are vibrant and colorful,” the three-time Grammy Award-winning jazz vocalist and composer wrote in an email. “They are relevant and evocative. There are layers of meaning within them. I think we are all drawn to mythologies.”The lure may be universal, but the 33-year-old Salvant’s gift for transforming shadowy archetypes into extraordinary music sets her in a rarified realm. She presents her latest conjuring at a four-concert SFJazz Center engagement May 5-7 that focuses on music from her new Nonesuch album “Mélusine.”Based on a folkloric legend that circulated widely around Western Europe in the late Middle Ages, “Mélusine” tells the story of a maiden cursed as a child by her mother to turn into a half-serpent every Saturday. Reflecting the Miami-reared Sa...

Pac-12 business affairs: Spring meetings feature loaded agenda, but no decision expected on you-know-what

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:31:52 GMT

A slew of critical issues are on the agenda this week as Pac-12 executives and campus administrators gather in Scottsdale for the annual spring meets.Well, not all the campus administrators.The university presidents won’t be there — they never attend the Scottsdale meeting — so the conference won’t resolve the two issues that matter most: The Pac-12’s media rights negotiations and a decision on expansion.Those interconnected topics remain weeks from the finish line, if not months.And without knowing the conference’s fundamental structure, other strategic details cannot be finalized.For example, the Pac-12 has been examining options to maximize opportunities for College Football Playoff bids once the event expands to 12 teams in the 2024 season:— Should it return to the division format or play as a single entity, with the first- and second-place teams meeting for the championship?— Should it move to an eight-game conference schedule, or stick with nine?— Shoul...

By Amy Beth Hanson and Matthew Brown | Associated PressHELENA, Mont. — Montana state Rep. Zooey Zephyr asked a court Monday to allow for her return to the House floor after she was silenced and barred for chiding her Republican colleagues over legislation to restrict gender-affirming health care and for encouraging protesters.Attorneys for the first-term lawmaker sued in state district court in Helena on behalf of Zephyr, a transgender Democrat who represents a liberal district in the college town of Missoula, and several constituents who the attorneys said were being denied their right to adequate representation.Zephyr, whose comments in the Montana Legislature have made her a prominent figure in transgender rights and in conversations about the muffling of dissent in statehouses, said in a statement Monday that she and her constituents were targeted “because I dared to give voice to the values and needs of transgender people like myself.”The legal challenge against Hou...

Feds: Hospitals that denied emergency abortion broke law

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:31:52 GMT

By Amanda Seitz | Associated PressWASHINGTON — Two hospitals that refused to provide an emergency abortion to a pregnant woman who was experiencing premature labor put her life in jeopardy and violated federal law, a first-of-its-kind investigation by the federal government has found.The findings, revealed in documents obtained by The Associated Press, are a warning to hospitals around the country as they struggle to reconcile dozens of new state laws that ban or severely restrict abortion with a federal mandate for doctors to provide abortions when a woman’s health is at risk. The competing edicts have been rolled out since the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion last year.But federal law, which requires doctors to treat patients in emergency situations, trumps those state laws, the nation’s top health official said in a statement.“Fortunately, this patient survived. But she never should have gone through the terrifying ordeal she expe...
