Elizabeth Holmes’ judge says he won’t rule on her prison date till early next month

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:41:53 GMT

Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes’ bid to stay out of prison past her scheduled April 27 incarceration date remains in play after her judge said Friday he would not issue an order until early next month.Holmes, convicted of felony fraud in connection with her now-defunct Palo Alto blood-testing startup, has asked Judge Edward Davila to let her remain free on bail until her appeal is concluded, which could take months. When Davila in November sentenced Holmes to more than 11 years in prison, he delayed Holmes’ incarceration until April 27, with legal experts saying the judge likely wanted her to be able to deliver her second child before imprisonment.Davila presided Friday over a hearing in U.S. District Court in San Jose into whether Holmes should pay restitution to Theranos, and whether she can stay out of prison pending appeal. After hearing arguments into restitution, Davila noted that he expected he would issue rulings on both matters the first week of April.Holmes, ...

Extensive winter rain likely to heighten wildfire risk in California

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:41:53 GMT

(KSWB) – While relentless precipitation across California has eased some of the state’s most concerning environmental conditions, the risk of wildfires along the western coast is likely to increase for residents moving into the dry season.Because of the recent storms, much of the vegetation that had stunted growth over the last few years due to extreme drought has been replenished, but according to experts, this flush could become the perfect tinder for fast-moving wildfires as the plants dry out in the months ahead."When you build up your vegetation to those levels, the fire risk goes up. Just logically, there's more to burn," said Dr. Chris Potter, an ecologist with the Earth Sciences Division at NASA’s Ames Research Center. "That's sort of the downside for our wet years." When will it stop raining in California? Here’s what meteorologists are saying Satellite imaging from NASA's Landsat Program indicates that the state's vegetation cover has recuperated from lows in growth last...

The two men discussed a range of topics, including the threat of ISIS to the Iraqi state, the role of foreign powers like Turkey and Saudi Arabia in the region, and, finally, the position of the West. On at least one point, they agreed: Despite the threat of ISIS and other regional powers, the political conditi...
