SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The vast region of Southern California, much of the San Francisco Bay area and a large swath of the Central Valley are about to be placed under a sweeping new lockdown in an urgent attempt to slow the rapid rise of coronavirus cases. The California Department of Public Health said Saturday the intensive care unit capacity in Southern California and Central Valley hospitals had fallen below a 15% threshold that triggers the new measures, which include strict closures for businesses and a ban on gathering with anyone outside of your own household. The Southern California region includes San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, Imperial, Inyo, Mono, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties. The San Joaquin Valley region includes Calaveras, Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Mariposa, Merced, San Benito, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tulare, and Tuolumne counties.Saturday, CDPH released new ICU capacity numbers:Bay Area: 21.7%Greater Sacramento Region: 21.4%Northern California: 24.1%San Joaquin Valley: 8.6%Southern California: 12.5%The new measures will take effect Sunday evening and remain in place for at least three weeks, meaning the lockdown will cover the Christmas holiday. 1241
SAN RAMON, Calif. (AP) — Apple is introducing a cheaper version of its smartwatch, its latest attempt to broaden the appeal of its trend-setting products while more consumers are forced to scrimp during ongoing fallout from the pandemic. The scaled-down Apple Watch follows a budget iPhone that came out five months ago as the pandemic caused unemployment rates to soar. Apple took the wraps off the new discount watch in addition to a new high-end model, a next-generation iPad and a new subscription service during a virtual event held Tuesday. The company normally also rolls out its new iPhones at this time of year, but production problems caused by the pandemic have delayed their release until at least October, the Associated Press reports.CEO Tim Cook didn’t mention iPhones during Tuesday’s one-hour presentation recorded at the company’s massive, but now mostly empty, headquarters in Cupertino, California.The Apple Watch has never come close to rivaling the iPhone’s popularity, but it does dominate the market for smartwatches.The new discount model, called the Apple Watch SE, will sell for 9 and be available beginning Friday. The price is a markdown from the 9 that Apple is asking for the next version of its higher end watch, the Series 6.Apple added more features to help the watch monitor its owner’s health, including a sensor that can read blood oxygen levels. The feature, specific to the Series 6, could be timely, given that COVID-19 frequently attacks the lungs.Apple also announced a new fitness subscription service tailored for its watches for per month, as well as a new option that will bundle its existing music, video, news and gaming services into a package that will cost to per month. 1747

Sears is getting serious about selling Kenmore.The struggling retailer announced Monday that it had formed a "special committee" to explore the sale of its in-house appliance brand.The move comes less than a month after Sears CEO Eddie Lampert wrote a letter to the board urging it to sell the brand. He offered to buy it himself if necessary, along with other assets.There is a good chance that Lampert will be the one buying Kenmore.Through his hedge fund, ESL Investments, Lampert owns a majority of shares in Sears Holding, the company that owns the Sears and Kmart chains.Sears has been exploring a possible sale of Kenmore and other assets for a number of years but never found a buyer. But this week it escalated its efforts by forming the "special committee," retaining counsel and bringing on an investment bank.The announcement was enough to briefly lift Sears shares 19% in early trading Monday, before they retreated to more modest gains of about 6%.Shares are still near historic lows. The retailer has admitted "substantial doubts" exist that it will be able to remain in business.Lampert has insisted that the company is on a path to return to profitability. But it is in need of cash and has been closing stores, cutting costs and getting creditors to agree to a longer repayment schedule on its debt. Because of that delayed repayment schedule, Sears was judged to be in default of some of its loans earlier this year.In early 2017 Sears sold its Craftsman tool brand to Stanley Black & Decker in a deal valued at 0 million. The Craftsman tools went on sale at rival Lowe's for the first time Monday.The board says it is looking at selling other assets, including its parts business and home services businesses, both of which Lampert has expressed interest in buying. 1806
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The University of California's governing board approved a tuition increase Thursday for out-of-state undergraduate students of 3.5 percent, or 8 a year, starting in the 2018-19 school year.The increase will bring tuition and fees for out-of-state undergraduates to nearly ,000 next year, more than triple what California residents pay.The Board of Regents voted 12-3 in favor of the increase but also agreed to rescind it if they can lobby the Legislature for more money.UC President Janet Napolitano urged the regents to approve the increase, calling it necessary for the fiscal health of UC schools, and unlikely that the state would allot more funding for out-of-state students."Reality needs to intrude here," Napolitano said at the board's meeting in Los Angeles. "The notion that the Legislature will provide any relief on non-resident tuition... is illusory."UC officials say the increase will generate nearly million and help compensate for lower than expected state funding at a time of record-high enrollment. The money will help fund more faculty and course offerings and help reduce class sizes.Napolitano has said the UC had no choice but to propose tuition increases after Gov. Jerry Brown allotted less funding for California's public universities than expected in his 2018-19 budget proposal earlier this year.The state budget will go through numerous revisions before a final vote is held in June but Brown has said the UC will not get additional funds and urged university officials to "live within their means."The regents had initially planned to vote on tuition increases at their last meeting in January but opted to delay the vote in hopes of securing more state money. In May, regents will take up the more contentious issue of whether to raise tuition for California residents by 2.7 percent, or 2.California residents currently pay ,630 in "system-wide tuition and fees" annually, as do out-of-state students who also pay a "supplemental tuition" of ,014.Thursday's vote increased the supplemental tuition for out-of-state students to ,992, bringing the new total for out-of-state students' tuition and fees to ,622. The UC estimates that room and board, books and other costs add about ,000.California residents make up about 82 percent of the 217,000 undergraduates at UC schools, while about 6 percent of students come from out-of-state. International students account for 11 percent of UC students.Students have vocally opposed any increases and urged regents to push harder for state funding.Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is a UC regent and also running for governor, voted against the increase on Thursday, saying there was still time to put pressure on the Legislature."I feel once again we're letting them off the hook by making a decision prematurely," Newsom said. "I find this an unfortunate decision." 2893
SANTA ANA (CNS) - A man accused of setting the Holy Fire that burned 23,000 acres in Orange and Riverside counties, forcing thousands of people from their homes, is due in court Wednesday for a preliminary hearing. Forrest Gordon Clark, 51 -- whose criminal case was briefly suspended in August when his courtroom outbursts led a judge to declare a doubt about his mental competency -- remains jailed in lieu of million bail, after pleading not guilty to arson and other charges Dec. 12. Clark's attorney, Nicole Parness of the Orange County Public Defender's Office, argued that Clark's million bail should be reduced because an arson investigator with the Orange County Fire Authority has theorized that another person might be responsible for setting the blaze. RELATED:"It's all a lie!": Arson suspect in Holy Fire appears in courtShe told reporters the investigator cited Michael Milligan, the fire chief of the volunteer Holy Jim Fire Department and a Clark neighbor, as a potential suspect. Parness told City News Service the analysis was ``very well thought out and logical'' and believes prosecutors ignored the suggestion to keep pursuing Clark as the main suspect. Milligan denied the allegation and told CNS he has fully cooperated with investigators and invited them into his home ``to tear it apart, do what you have to do'' so they can rule him out as a suspect. He said he has met investigators three times and turned over his phone, a GPS device and an iPad to authorities. He said he has offered to submit DNA and fingerprints as well. He conceded he was in the area when the fire erupted, saying he was about a mile away from Clark's cabin at the time. RELATED: Holy Fire suspect Forrest Gordon Clark charged with felony arson``There were four people in the canyon, and two people were above the fire and couldn't get back in and had to be rescued by helicopter,'' Milligan said. He said he understands law enforcement must investigate everyone who was in the vicinity of the fire's origin. In court, Parness asked Orange County Superior Court Judge Nancy Zeltzer to read the police report and argued that Clark's mental competency should justify a lowering of his bail. RELATED: Holy Fire suspect exhibits bizarre behavior in court appearanceZeltzer, however, kept bail at million, but noted that if further facts emerge about the case warranting reduced bail, Parness could make her request again. Deputy District Attorney Jake Jondle said the investigator's report mentioning Milligan is just an ``alternative theory,'' but there is ``no credible evidence'' to lead prosecutors to consider it seriously. Prosecutors are ``confident'' Clark is the right suspect, he said. RELATED: Video shows arson suspect talking with investigatorsClark has been the focus of investigators because of a ``combination of things,'' such as text messages he sent to neighbors as well as ``threats made'' to others, Jondle said. Clark could face 10 years to life in prison if convicted of aggravated arson damaging at least five inhabited structures, arson of inhabited property, arson of forest and making criminal threats, all felonies, as well as two felony counts of resisting arrest. In August, Orange County Superior Court Judge Kimberly Menninger ordered Clark to undergo a mental evaluation, saying she questioned his competency to assist in his defense. But on Nov. 28, Judge Michael Murray ruled that Clark was competent, and criminal proceedings were restarted. Initially, a defense expert concluded Clark was mentally incompetent, but a prosecution expert ruled otherwise, prompting Murray to appoint a ``tie-breaker'' expert, who concluded Clark was capable of assisting his attorneys in his defense. Parness has been pressing prosecutors to turn over more evidence in the case. She said she has been pushing to obtain text messages allegedly sent by Clark to neighbors, as well as surveillance video footage. On Aug. 6, the day the Holy Fire erupted, Clark allegedly threatened to kill a neighbor about 7:30 a.m., prosecutors said in a previous motion to deny him bail. As the neighbor walked to his truck, Clark allegedly told him that he `(expletive) with the wrong person,'' according to the motion. ``The defendant stated that he was `crazy' and noted it was `perfect' because he could do anything he wants and get away with it.'' Later that day, he allegedly set fire to his neighbor's residence in Holy Jim Canyon. The Holy Fire ultimately also destroyed 13 other residences. Orange County sheriff's investigator Jennifer Hernandez said in an affidavit supporting the motion to deny bail that Clark ``could be heard on video telling (a victim), `Mark my words, you're gonna die at 12:37... I have 100 percent plausible deniability. You're gonna die. I'm gonna murder you.''' Clark allegedly made at least five ``specific threats'' and``allusions'' to setting fires, according to Hernandez, who said the defendant``appears to believe in the Sovereign Citizen ideology.'' The ideology's supporters ``believe the government does not have the authority to enforce a majority of our laws and taxes,'' Hernandez wrote, adding that not everyone who subscribes to the theory is violent, but law enforcement recognizes it as a ``terrorism threat.'' Orange County sheriff's deputies have had multiple encounters with Clark dating back to 2006, according to Carrie Braun, a spokeswoman for the department. Parness said her client is ``doing better'' since prior court appearances when he was prone to verbal outbursts. ``He understands what's going on and I think he's doing OK'' now, Parness said. ``He's a very nice man, a gentle soul,'' Parness said. ``He's so polite to me.'' 5707
