Meet the chef behind Danville’s hot new seafood restaurant

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:23:48 GMT

Earlier this month, downtown Danville welcomed its newest seafood restaurant: Tides, a new high-end, ocean-inspired eatery.The elegant new restaurant is, in large part, the brainchild of executive chef and general manager Marikah Woodson, whose culinary journey began years ago in Pleasanton. The oldest of five kids, she learned to cook at home. When she went off to college — she played basketball at San Jose State — she frequently cooked up big batches of pasta to feed friends and classmates.“Everyone loved my cooking — it was a lot of fun,” she recalls.After college, she remembers seeing an ad for Le Cordon Bleu and being instantly inspired. “I had this epiphany,” she says. “I called my mom and said, ‘I really think I want to be a chef.'”An externship at Livermore’s Wente Vineyards led to a stint as sous chef, before she teamed up with chef Matt Greco to open Salt Craft in Pleasanton. Since then, she’s worked a...

By Kate Brumback | Associated PressATLANTA — Rudy Giuliani turned himself in at a jail in Atlanta on Wednesday on charges related to efforts to overturn then-President Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.The former New York mayor was indicted last week along with Trump and 17 others. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said they participated in a wide-ranging conspiracy to subvert the will of the voters after the Republican president lost to Democrat Joe Biden in November 2020. Bond was set at $150,000, second only to Trump’s $200,000.Giuliani, 79, is accused of spearheading Trump’s efforts to compel state lawmakers in Georgia and other closely contested states to ignore the will of voters and illegally appoint electoral college electors favorable to Trump.Georgia was one of several key states Trump lost by slim margins, prompting the Republican and his allies to proclaim, without evidence, that the election was rigged in favor of his Democ...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:23:48 GMT

SANTA CLARA — With Sam Darnold reportedly locking down the 49ers’ No. 2 quarterback job, the team is exploring options on what to do with Trey Lance, a league source said Wednesday.A day earlier, coach Kyle Shanahan said he would consider rotating both Darnold and Lance as the backup to Brock Purdy, who has made a remarkable recovery from March elbow surgery to retain the starting role he flourished in last season.Rather than retain Lance as the No. 3 quarterback, the 49ers appear willing to part with him after just four starts in two seasons, after they moved up to draft him No. 3 overall in 2021.Lance was not on the field to begin Wednesday’s practice.News of Darnold securing the No. 2 job was first reported by NFL Network, about an hour before practice. Friday marks the 49ers’ final preseason game, a 7 p.m. kickoff against the Los Angeles Chargers at Levi’s Stadium.Darnold has 56 career starts over five seasons with the Jets and Panthers, with 61 tou...

NEW YORK (AP) — A golfer was arrested and accused of beating a goose to death with a golf club at a New York course in a misguided attempt to put it out of its misery, a county official said Wednesday.Witnesses say the man decided to kill the Canada goose after it was struck with a golf ball last week at the Putnam County Golf Course in Mahopac, said Ken Ross, chief of the county’s Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:23:48 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street is rallying toward its best day since June on Wednesday as pressure that’s built up on stocks from the bond market relaxed a bit. The S&P 500 was 1.1% higher in late trading, trimming its loss for what’s been a dismal August so far.

Big Tech stocks and others that benefit from easier interest rates led the way. They got some relief as the 10-year Treasury yield eased back further from its highest level since 2007 after a report suggested the U.S. economy may be cooling.A 2.2% gain for Apple’s stock and 1.7% climb for Microsoft shares were two of the strongest forces pushing the S&P 500 upward.Nvidia, another one of the market’s most influential stocks, rose 2.8% ahead of its latest profit report, scheduled to come out after the market closes for the day.

Deep-sea ‘hot tubs’ help octopus moms hatch their eggs faster

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:23:48 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Most octopuses lead solitary lives. So scientists were startled to find thousands of octopus huddled together, protecting their eggs at the bottom of the ocean off the central California coast.Now researchers may have solved the mystery of why these pearl octopus congregate: Heat seeping up from the base of an extinct underwater volcano helps their eggs hatch faster.“There are clear advantages of basically sitting in this natural hot tub,” said Janet Voight, an octopus biologist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and co-author of the study, which was published Wednesday in Science Advances. The researchers calculated that the heated nest location more than halved the time it took for eggs laid there to hatch — reducing the risk of being munched by snails, shrimp and other predators. The nesting site, which the scientists dubbed an “octopus garden,” was first discovered in 2018 by researchers from the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and other i...
