The acquisition aligns with MosChip’s broader strategy to strengthen its foothold in high-growth sectors.#california #nifty_50 #moschip_technologies_ltd #vayavya_labs_private_limited #semiconductor

Cases of Rotavirus Spreading Across the U.S., Including California Rotavirus, a highly contagious virus that causes severe diarrhea and can be fatal, is spreading rapidly across the United States, with California and other regions reporting high levels of the infection. Wastewater data and federal tracking systems indicate that the virus is present in every region except the Midwest, with the Bay Area emerging as a major hotspot. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) dashboard shows a steady rise in cases nationwide since mid-December, highlighting the growing public health concern. The virus spreads through contaminated fecal matter, often transmitted via direct contact with infected individuals or surfaces. It poses a significant risk to people of all ages, though children under five are particularly vulnerable. Rotavirus infections can lead to severe dehydration, vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain, with the first infection typically causing the most intense symptoms. Without vaccination, the illness can be life-threatening, especially for infants and young children. Before the introduction of the rotavirus vaccine in the 1990s, the virus was the leading cause of severe diarrhea among U.S. infants and young children. Annual cases numbered up to 2.7 million, with approximately 20-40 deaths reported each year. The vaccine has since significantly reduced the burden of the disease, preventing an estimated 45,000 hospitalizations and 342,000 emergency department visits annually. Between 94-96% of vaccinated children are protected from hospitalization, according to the CDC. However, recent changes to vaccine recommendations under the Trump administration have sparked controversy.#california #robert_f_kennedy_jr #bay_area #centers_for_disease_control_and_prevention #rotavirus

After sex abuse claims, activists and lawmakers rethink Cesar Chavez Day Farm work is deeply personal for many in California, where nearly three-quarters of America’s fruits and nuts are grown. When sexual abuse allegations against famed farmworker union activist Cesar Chavez surfaced in March, they sent shockwaves through the state. The revelations prompted activists and lawmakers to reevaluate his legacy, sparking debates over the renaming of Cesar Chavez Day and the removal of his name from public spaces. State Senator Suzette Martinez Valladares, a descendant of farmworkers, described the allegations as “deeply personal.” During a legislative meeting, she called for renaming Cesar Chavez Day to “Farmworkers Day,” arguing that the legacy of farmworkers belongs to families like hers, not to any single individual. “The legacy of farmworkers belongs to families like mine across California—not to any one individual,” she said, echoing the sentiments of other lawmakers who shared stories of their families toiling in the fields under the sun. Cesar Chavez’s role in the labor movement is well-documented. As a prominent labor organizer, he led a major strike against Delano grape growers in the 1960s, which sparked nationwide boycotts to demand better wages and working conditions for farmworkers. His rallying cry, “si, se puede” (“yes, we can”), became a symbol of hope for activists and politicians, including Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. In 1994, Chavez was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Bill Clinton, and in 2014, Barack Obama declared March 31 as Cesar Chavez Day. However, his legacy has been overshadowed by allegations of sexual abuse.#california #barack_obama #cesar_chavez #suzette_martinez_valladares #dolores_huerta

Gas Prices Vary by State: Factors Behind the Differences Gas prices across the United States fluctuate significantly from one state to another, with drivers often noticing stark differences at the pump. These variations are influenced by a combination of factors, including state and local taxes, the distance from oil supply sources, environmental regulations, and market dynamics. As of April 2, 2026, the national average gas price had risen to $4.08 per gallon, up from $3.98 the previous week and $3.00 in early March. This increase has prompted widespread curiosity about the reasons behind the price disparities. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) identifies several key factors contributing to regional differences in gas prices. One primary reason is the variation in state and local gas taxes. While the federal government imposes a uniform tax of 18.4 cents per gallon since 1993, states add their own levies, which can significantly impact the final price. For example, California, which has the highest state gas tax at 71 cents per gallon, saw an average price of $5.89 per gallon on April 2, the most expensive in the nation. Conversely, Oklahoma, with a state tax of 48 cents per gallon, had the lowest average price at $3.27 per gallon. Transportation costs also play a major role in price variations. The EIA notes that gas prices tend to be higher in regions farther from oil production centers, as shipping fuel to these areas increases expenses. Additionally, supply disruptions—such as refinery shutdowns or geopolitical tensions—can lead to bidding wars for available gasoline, driving up prices. Retail competition further influences costs, with areas having fewer gas stations often experiencing higher prices due to reduced market saturation.#california #oklahoma #new_york #washington_d_c #us_energy_information_administration

United flight narrowly avoids US military helicopter in California A United Airlines flight carrying 162 passengers and six crew members narrowly avoided a collision with a US military helicopter near John Wayne Airport in southern California, prompting an investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The incident occurred around 8:40 p.m. on Tuesday when the military Black Hawk helicopter, returning from a training mission, crossed into the path of the passenger plane. Pilots were instructed to alter their course to prevent a collision, according to FAA officials. The FAA announced on Friday that it was examining the incident, which involved a close call just over a year after a similar crash in Washington, D.C., where an American Airlines jet collided with an army Black Hawk helicopter, killing 67 people. That tragedy had led to increased scrutiny of flight path regulations and safety protocols to prevent such near misses. In March, the FAA revised its policy in response to the 2025 crash, requiring air traffic controllers to actively use radar to guide both helicopters and planes around airports nationwide. Previously, controllers relied on pilots to visually avoid each other. Before the Washington incident, controllers had asked helicopter pilots whether they had seen the plane and allowed them to proceed without further intervention. In the California incident, the FAA stated it would assess whether the new rule was applied. United Airlines confirmed the details of the event in a brief statement, noting that pilots on flight 589 were alerted by air traffic control to watch for a military helicopter near the airport. The pilots spotted the helicopter and responded to a traffic alert by leveling the aircraft.#california #federal_aviation_administration #united_airlines #black_hawk_helicopter #john_wayne_airport

Where was You're Dating a Narcissist! filmed? All filming locations revealed You’re Dating a Narcissist! premiered in March 2026, with its release in the United States scheduled for Friday, March 27, 2026, in select theaters. The film, created by Ann Marie Allison, was directed and co-written by her alongside Jenna Milly. It is based on Allison’s personal experiences with narcissistic relationships and follows the story of a psychologist who travels to stop her daughter’s wedding after suspecting the groom is a narcissist. Marisa Tomei stars as Judy, a character who is an expert in identifying narcissism and becomes alarmed when her daughter, Eva, plans to marry a seemingly perfect doctor. The film’s premise initially appears to offer a clever twist on the romantic comedy genre, but it quickly devolves into predictability. Characters act in ways that serve the plot rather than reflecting realistic behavior. While the fiancé’s questionable actions are highlighted, the script lacks strong justification for portraying him as untrustworthy. Judy’s escalating behavior becomes invasive and extreme, raising questions about her own conduct. The narrative seems determined to validate her concerns, even as it undermines attempts to explore themes of trust and genuine kindness. Sherry Cola’s character, Diane, is the only one who offers a more relatable perspective amid the otherwise exaggerated and unconvincing narrative. The production of You’re Dating a Narcissist! took place in California, primarily in and around Los Angeles. Filming locations include the Hollywood Hills, where scenes were shot in the area’s iconic neighborhoods. The Malibu coastline was also used, showcasing the region’s scenic ocean views, cliffs, and beaches.#california #sherry_cola #ann_marie_allison #marisa_tomei #jenna_milly

Why $4 Gas Won’t Spark an EV Buying Spree Yustine Chang and her husband found their decision to switch to an electric vehicle easier as gas prices climbed, but they weren’t the only ones influenced by the rising cost of fuel. While their eight-year-old Mercedes C-class sedan was replaced with a Rivian R1 SUV, the couple cited the high cost of gas near their Southern California home as a key factor. Their other car, a three-year-old Mercedes GLS SUV, was described as a “gas eater,” making the shift to an electric vehicle more appealing. Chang noted that when gas prices exceeded $6 per gallon, it accelerated their decision to look for an EV. California, where they live, has the highest average gas price in the nation at $5.83 per gallon. Online car shoppers showed increased interest in electric vehicles during the week of March 2, with 17% more searches for EV information compared to the previous week, according to Edmunds.com. This trend continued, with another 8% rise in interest in the following weeks as gas prices climbed. However, Ivan Drury, director of insights at Edmunds, emphasized that increased searches don’t always translate to sales. Automakers are not accelerating production of electric vehicles beyond their current plans, and Drury warned that buying an EV solely based on recent gas price spikes would be “extremely irrational.” The cost of gas alone may not be enough to convince buyers to switch from gasoline-powered cars to EVs. The average U.S. price for a gallon of gas has risen by over a dollar in the past month, but even at $4 per gallon, the monthly cost for a typical household—using 50 to 60 gallons—would be around $240. This amount represents roughly a third of the average monthly payment for a new car.#california #yustine_chang #rivian_r1 #mercedes_c_class #mercedes_gls_suv

Jason Kidd’s 1993 NCAA Upset Over Duke Lives On in Mavericks’ Locker Room Jason Kidd’s historic 1993 NCAA Tournament upset of two-time champion Duke remains a defining moment in his career and a source of pride for the Dallas Mavericks, whose roster includes multiple Blue Devils. The Mavericks’ current team, featuring players like Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving, Marvin Bagley III, and Dereck Lively II, carries a legacy of Duke alumni, with Kidd himself serving as a key figure in their history. The 1993 game, played in Rosemont, Ill., saw then-19-year-old Kidd lead California to an 82-77 victory over No. 3 seed Duke, a stunning upset for the No. 6 seed Bears. Kidd’s all-around performance—11 points, 14 assists, 8 rebounds, and 4 steals—helped Cal overcome Duke’s star power, including 32 points from Bobby Hurley and 18 points plus 8 steals from Grant Hill. The win, which came in the second round of the tournament, is still celebrated as one of the greatest upsets in NCAA history. Kidd’s Mavericks, currently struggling with a 23-47 record, are set to revisit the memory of that game as they prepare for the NBA draft lottery. The team’s coach, now reflecting on his past, humorously noted the irony of his team’s current struggles compared to the 1993 Bears’ triumph. “It’s amazing how time flies,” Kidd said, acknowledging the shared excitement of NCAA March Madness and the thrill of upsets. The Mavericks’ connection to Duke extends beyond Kidd. In 1993, the team selected Jamal Mashburn with the No. 4 overall pick, and the following year, Kidd was chosen over Hill with the No. 2 pick. Both players went on to win NBA Rookie of the Year awards and were inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame in 2018. Today, the Mavericks’ roster continues to reflect the influence of Duke, with multiple players contributing to the team’s identity.#california #duke #mavericks #jason_kidd #nba_draft_lottery

A 2.8 magnitude earthquake shook near San Ramon, California, on March 23, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The tremor occurred at 3:34 a.m. and was centered approximately 2 miles east-southeast of San Ramon, at a depth of 6 miles. Residents who felt the quake are encouraged to submit reports through the USGS Felt Report form. Earthquakes are measured by their magnitude, which reflects the energy released at the earthquake’s source. The USGS explains that this system replaces the older Richter scale. Quakes ranging from 2.5 to 5.4 magnitude are typically felt but rarely cause significant damage. Earthquakes below 2.5 magnitude are generally not noticeable to most people. While earthquakes can occur anywhere, they are most common in regions such as Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Puerto Rico, and Washington. The Department of Homeland Security notes that these events can trigger secondary hazards like fires, tsunamis, landslides, or avalanches. Globally, it is estimated that 500,000 earthquakes are detectable each year, with 100,000 of those felt by humans and 100 causing damage. During an earthquake, experts recommend immediate protective actions. If in a vehicle, drivers should pull over, stop, and set the parking brake. Those in bed should turn face-down and cover their heads with a pillow. Outdoor individuals should avoid buildings and not enter structures. Inside, people should stay put, avoid doorways, and follow the "drop, cover, and hold on" protocol. For those using wheelchairs or walkers, wheels should be locked, and users should remain seated until shaking stops. Covering the head and neck with arms is advised, and if possible, crawling under a sturdy table. If no shelter is available, moving to an interior wall away from windows is recommended.#california #department_of_homeland_security #us_geological_survey #san_ramon #earthquake_bot

A 2.8 magnitude earthquake struck near San Ramon, California, on March 23, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The tremor occurred at 3:34 a.m. and was centered approximately 2 miles east-southeast of San Ramon, at a depth of 6 miles. Residents in the area were advised to report their experiences through the USGS Felt Report form to help refine earthquake data. Earthquakes are measured by their magnitude, which reflects the energy released at the fault line. The USGS explains that this system replaces the older Richter scale. Quakes between 2.5 and 5.4 magnitude are typically felt by people but rarely cause significant damage. Earthquakes below 2.5 on the scale are generally too small to be noticed by most individuals. While earthquakes can occur anywhere, they are most common in regions such as Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Puerto Rico, and Washington. These areas are prone to seismic activity due to their proximity to tectonic plate boundaries. Globally, it is estimated that 500,000 earthquakes are detectable each year, with 100,000 of those felt by people and only 100 causing structural damage. During an earthquake, immediate safety measures are critical. If in a vehicle, drivers should pull over to a safe location, stop, and engage the parking brake. Those in bed should lie face-down and protect their head with a pillow. Outdoor individuals should avoid buildings and stay clear of structures, while those inside should remain indoors, avoiding doorways. The recommended protocol is to "drop, cover, and hold on," which involves getting to the ground, taking cover under a sturdy object, and holding on until the shaking stops. For wheelchair or walker users, ensuring wheels are locked and staying seated is advised.#california #earthquake #us_geological_survey #san_ramon #felt_report

An unprecedented surge of extreme heat is sweeping across the United States this week and into the following days, shattering monthly temperature records by significant margins. While the most severe impacts are felt by those directly exposed to the heat, visual data and charts illustrate the vast scale of this extreme weather event. The record-breaking temperatures are already breaking previous norms, with California and Arizona experiencing daily highs exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) in March—a dramatic departure from the typical range, which is usually at least 30 degrees Fahrenheit (17 degrees Celsius) lower during this month. These temperatures mark a major deviation from historical patterns, highlighting the intensity of the current heatwave. The phenomenon is not confined to just two states. According to an analysis by the Associated Press, roughly a quarter of March heat records at 400 weather stations across the U.S. may be tied or broken this month. While these readings have not yet been officially verified by the National Weather Service, initial temperature data from dozens of U.S. cities clearly indicate a trend of extreme warmth. The heatwave is expected to persist for several weeks, with the National Weather Service forecasting clusters of potentially record-breaking temperatures concentrated in the West. The hottest conditions are likely to be centered in Southwestern states such as Arizona, which, while accustomed to desert heat, typically experiences such extremes only during summer months. Southern California is projected to see the highest temperatures, with Palm Springs recording a daily high of 107 degrees Fahrenheit (42 degrees Celsius) on Thursday. This surpasses the previous March record of 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) set in 1966.#california #national_weather_service #arizona #associated_press #world_weather_attribution

8 states, including California and New York, sue to block $6.2B Nexstar-Tegna merger California, New York, and six other states filed a lawsuit late Wednesday to block Nexstar’s proposed $6.2 billion acquisition of Tegna, arguing the merger violates federal antitrust laws. The states claim the deal would reduce competition in the broadcast media industry and harm local journalism by consolidating control over a significant portion of U.S. television stations. California Attorney General Rob Bonta and New York Attorney General Letitia James led the legal effort, joined by attorneys general from Colorado, Illinois, Oregon, North Carolina, Connecticut, and Virginia. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California and cites Section 7 of the Clayton Antitrust Act, which prohibits mergers that “substantially lessen competition.” Bonta’s office argues the deal would weaken competition in the Sacramento and San Diego media markets, while James’ office highlights concerns about consolidation in the Buffalo area. Nexstar and Tegna have not yet responded to requests for comment on the lawsuit. The merger would create a combined entity reaching nearly 60% of U.S. households, surpassing the current federal rule that limits a single company to 39% market share. Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr has publicly supported the deal, stating, “Let’s get it done,” but the FCC has not announced plans to vote on revising the ownership cap. The agency declined to comment on the matter. The lawsuit also draws attention to broader antitrust concerns in the media industry. Recently, over two dozen state attorneys general, including both Republicans and Democrats, filed a motion for a mistrial in a federal case targeting Live Nation and Ticketmaster.#california #new_york #letitia_james #rob_bonta #clayton_antitrust_act

California hits all-time U.S. high for winter heat California tied the highest winter temperature ever recorded in the U.S. on Wednesday as a heatwave intensified and broke records across the state. A weather station in the Dos Palmas Preserve of eastern Coachella Valley recorded 108 degrees, matching the U.S. March record set by Rio Grande City, Texas, according to weather historian Christopher Burt. This temperature also marks California’s highest ever for any winter month. The data are preliminary, as noted by the National Weather Service. Nearby stations in Indio and Thermal, Riverside County, reached 107 degrees, while Palm Springs hit 105, its hottest March temperature on record. The extreme heat was primarily confined to desert regions, but one of the most unusual readings came from the Sierra Nevada. South Lake Tahoe’s high of 76 degrees was 5 degrees above any other March day since temperature records began there in 1969. The National Weather Service’s Reno office warned that record-breaking temperatures were expected for two more days, with a strong chance of breaking the monthly record on Thursday and Friday. While coastal areas saw slightly cooler temperatures compared to Tuesday, many locations still set daily and monthly records, from Wine Country to Orange County. In the Bay Area, Redwood City was the hottest spot for the second consecutive day, reaching 90 degrees. Santa Rosa followed with 89, Richmond hit 88, and San Rafael and San Jose measured 87. Oakland reached 85, San Francisco International Airport hit 81, and Half Moon Bay recorded 79. In the Central Valley, Fresno, Bakersfield, Stockton, Merced, and Fresno set monthly temperature records, while Sacramento tied its highest March temperature.#california #national_weather_service #coachella_valley #dos_palmas_preserve #christopher_burt

Powerball Jackpot Hits $46 Million for Monday, March 9 Drawing The Powerball jackpot has climbed to $46 million for the March 9 drawing, with a cash value of $21.7 million. This marks the latest opportunity for players to claim the prize, which has been won nearly 200 times since the lottery’s launch in 1992. Currently, 48 U.S. states participate in the Powerball game, excluding Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah. The states with the highest number of winners include Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Dakota Johnson Is California Cool in Calvin Klein Underwear and Denim Campaign Dakota Johnson’s latest campaign for Calvin Klein showcases her signature laid-back California aesthetic, centered around denim and minimalist underwear. In the shoot, she opts for two distinct pairs of jeans, reflecting her personal approach to the fabric. “I love a baggy jean because it just makes an outfit,” she explains, describing how she folds the waistband over to avoid wearing a belt, creating a relaxed fit. “But if I feel like I’m slamming today, I’ll go for a high-waisted, tighter pair. It really depends on the time of the month—something most women can relate to.” Despite her denim expertise, Johnson rejects the trend of never washing jeans and instead storing them in the freezer. “That’s absolutely disgusting,” she says, laughing when asked about the practice. “Do you have a deep freezer in your house? No. Only deep freezers kill bacteria. I’m a really clean girl, so I throw those puppies in the wash every day, every damn day.” She adds that she also uses the dryer, noting that stretching the jeans after washing is part of the fun. Her underwear preferences also highlight her love for contrast. Johnson is drawn to Calvin Klein’s boy shorts, which she wears while sleeping and then throughout the day. “I can bop around the house in the morning and do things,” she says. “When I get home, I take off my pants—especially on hot days—and end up in my underwear all day. That’s just who I am.” However, her other side leans toward minimalism. “I wear basically dental floss underwear,” she admits. “I’m that person. Calvin also makes that style—feeling like there’s nothing there is wonderful for me.” She jokes about the campaign, calling it “the best gig I’ve ever had” because it aligns perfectly with her style.#california #calvin_klein #dakota_johnson #denim #underwear

Britney Spears arrested in California on suspicion of driving under the influence Britney Spears has been arrested in California under suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. The singer was detained by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) around 21:30 local time on Wednesday. A representative for Spears told the BBC that the incident was "unfortunate" and "completely inexcusable." Spears was pulled over for driving her BMW "erratically at a high rate of speed" on a motorway, according to CHP. She "showed signs of impairment" and underwent a series of field sobriety tests after being stopped. She was released from jail early Thursday morning and is scheduled to appear in Ventura County Superior Court on 4 May. Her representative emphasized that Spears would "take the right steps and comply with the law" and hoped the incident would mark "the first step in long overdue change" for her. The representative also mentioned that her children would be spending time with her and that loved ones would "come up with an overdue needed plan" to support her well-being. The incident is still under investigation, and chemical test results are pending. Spears was driving alone in her black BMW 430i southbound on US-101 when officers pulled her over. Her car was impounded, and records list her occupation as "celebrity." The BBC reported that Spears was not admitted to a hospital after the arrest but was briefly taken to a medical facility by law enforcement for blood tests, as required by drink-driving protocols in California. Spears appeared to have deleted her Instagram account shortly after the arrest was made public. Spears is one of the most successful pop stars in history, known for hits such as Baby One More Time, Toxic, Everytime, Gimme More, Womanizer, and Stronger.#california #california_highway_patrol #chp #britney_spears #ventura_county_superior_court
