Nareg is at the helm of a small 206 student Armenian private school (AGBU) located in the San Fernando Valley. Kopooshian’s story stretches back to his childhood, where his dad, who was also his 1st coach, put a ball in his hands at just 9 months of age. He credits his parents for his love for the game, as they never missed an opportunity to watch him play, even when he was traveling while playing college basketball. After his playing journey took him around the world, Nareg knew coaching was In his blood. Fast forward to 2023, highlighting his team, that nobody, including high school journalists, expected to get out of the 1st round of the CIF Division 2 playoffs, finished an incredible 3 year run with a 52-9 overall record and yet another state playoff berth.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:09:49 GMT

The latest forecast from the data crunchers at BDSA has the U.S. cannabis industry growing to just south of $30 billion by the end of the year. Globally, they project the industry to be worth $36.7 billion in 2023 with roughly 80%, or $29.6 billion, of sales coming from the U.S. state markets. BDSA is expecting the global marketplace to grow about 13% a year through 2027. The U.S. market is expected to be worth $45 billion by that time. “Over the next five years, the biggest drivers of cannabis industry growth in the U.S. will be the thriving Midwest and East Coast markets,” said Roy Bingham, co-founder and CEO of BDSA. “New markets, especially adult-use markets like Missouri, New Jersey and New York, will lead growth. Although mature Western markets such as Colorado and California have experienced sales stagnation or decline due to price compression, they will continue to account for a substantial portion of legal sales through 2027.”  BDSA went on to cover some of the key numbers ...

Review: ‘Wizard of Oz’ reborn — and how! — at SF’s American Conservatory Thearter

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:09:49 GMT

There’s no place like home.Director and choreographer Sam Pinkleton’s wonderfully wacky “Wizard of Oz” is steeped in an ingenious mix of high camp and low-tech that revels in a distinctly San Francisco sense of aesthetics.Certainly the staging’s gender fluidity is a nice wink to the culture wars raging across the country. Welcome to Oz, this ACT production seems to say, no matter who you are, you will be celebrated here.That heartwarming subtext and a whimsy-on-steroids vibe elevates this production, particularly at the beginning and end of Dorothy’s journey. In the middle of the adventure, things tend to sag, particularly for some of the little ones in the audience.In this Oz revamp, the girl in the blue gingham dress is transformed into a kiddo (Chanel Tilghman) in a Batman T-shirt and a hoodie. The Scarecrow (Danny Scheie) is a crocheted Raggedy Ann-style moppet. The Wicked Witch of the West (Courtney Walsh) is a corporate lawyer-type in a blue suit. Toto is a pink puppet p...

Utah woman denied bail in death of book-subject husband

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:09:49 GMT

By Sam Metz | Associated PressPARK CITY, Utah — A Utah mother of three who wrote a children’s book about coping with grief after her husband’s death, and was later accused of fatally poisoning him, will remain in jail for the duration of her trial on murder and drug charges, a judge said Monday.Kouri Richins knelt her head and cried as a detective testified about authorities finding her husband dead and “cold to the touch,” and prosecutors argued the evidence against her was strong enough to deny her bail.Her case became a true-crime sensation last month when charges were filed as a transfixed public pored over “Are You With Me?” — the illustrated storybook about an angel wing-clad father watching over his children after passing away — and scrutinized remarks Richins made promoting the book as a tool to help children grieve.Monday’s detention hearing offered both prosecutors and Richins’ attorneys a chance to preview their cases and pr...

California lawmakers reach transit bailout deal: Will Gov. Newsom go along?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:09:49 GMT

California lawmakers reached a handshake deal late Sunday that would provide more than $3 billion for BART, AC Transit, Caltrain and other beleaguered transit agencies that say low ridership since the COVID-19 pandemic is sending them over a fiscal cliff and without state aid would lead to catastrophic service cuts.The proposed deal between the state Assembly and Senate restores $2 billion in transportation infrastructure funding that was slated to be cut if revenues are as low as the governor’s budget office expects, and allows the money to be used for transit operations at local transportation authorities’ discretion.The deal also would allow local transit agencies to prop up their operating budgets over the next three years by diverting $1.1 billion in cap-and-trade funds that are supposed to be set aside to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.“The legislature’s budget agreement is a very positive first step toward securing the future of public transportation ...

New Technology Helps Reconstruct Atrocities. Will It Make It Easier to Convict War Criminals?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:09:49 GMT

Standing before a computer monitor in a courtroom in The Hague in 2020, a prosecutor with the International Criminal Court zoomed in and out on a detailed 3D digital reconstruction of the city of Timbuktu. She moved around the interactive map through squares and markets, zooming past renderings of city buildings, eventually descending to street level. There, she played a video that showed a Malian rebel leader holding a whip and escorting two cuffed men to an open area, then ordering the men to kneel and whipping them before a crowd of bystanders, including several children.It was a vivid opening to the war crimes and crimes against humanity trial of Al Hassan Ag Abdoul Aziz, a member of the Ansar Dine Islamist group, which took over swaths of northern Mali in a 2012 coup. As chief of Islamic police, Al Hassan stands accused of widespread crimes, including torture, rape, sexual slavery, and forced marriages.“Mr. Al Hassan’s work was not confined within the four walls of his office,”...
