The companies hired to replace California’s “vulnerable” 911 network with a new cutting-edge system claim the state abruptly abandoned a fully built, deployment-ready system and replaced it with a new plan they say could cost taxpayers hundreds of millions more. The state, which has already spent nearly $500 million building a regional Next Generation 911 (NGA 911) network, decided to pull the plug and leave the majority of its emergency call centers on a decades-old analog system while it pursues a new statewide design. “It doesn’t make sense to anyone other than that little bubble they have in Sacramento,” said…

One thing he really wants to do while he still can (or thinks he can) is take a road trip — by himself — to visit his sister on the other side of the country.  He regularly does shorter drives (two to three hours) and figures if he takes his time, he can make the 2,000-mile journey by doing many short stretches over a few days. I think it is a colossally bad…

The first-place Dodgers might not have much meaningful baseball ahead of them the rest of this regular season. Still, losing a series to the last-place Rockies is an embarrassment that –– regardless of their place in the standings or odds to win the division –– is best to be avoided. On Wednesday, that’s exactly what the club did, winning a 4-3 rubber match at Dodger Stadium thanks to a go-ahead eighth-inning RBI single from Mookie Betts that came at the end of an impressive nine-pitch at-bat. The Dodgers hadn’t had many quality at-bats for much of Wednesday, not since scoring…

President Trump on Wednesday marveled that he and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have come a long way from last year’s disastrous White House meeting that blew up into battle over gratitude — and officials escorting the Kyiv leader out before a planned luncheon. The warmth was on display during a NATO summit meeting, where Trump discussed granting Kyiv a license to manufacture its own Patriot interceptor missiles — a big gift to Zelensky. “We’ve actually developed a good relationship! Hard to believe, right? From the Oval Office to now,” the president said at the top of his sit-down with Ukraine’s leader,…
