Kate Flannery and Oscar Nuñez had a mini "Office" reunion on last night's season finale of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and went ALL THE WAY! (You'd know them as Meredith and Oscar on the show.) They even called up Brian Baumgartner (Kevin) for their "Phone-a-Friend" lifeline. As for the million-dollar question? "The word 'planet' comes from an ancient Greek word that literally means what?" Their options were "powerful," "immortal," "stranger," and "wanderer" . . . the answer being "wanderer". Kate and Oscar will be splitting their winnings between Planned Parenthood and a Philadelphia-based food bank called Philabundance. Fresh off Coachella comes Stagecoach!

She'll appear on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on October 6, just three days after her album release and one day after fiancé Travis Kelce's birthday. Fallon teased the appearance in a cryptic roulette-themed post landing on Swift's lucky number, 13. This marks Taylor's seventh Tonight Show stop, alongside guests Keri Russell and a performance from The Format.Queen Eyeing Vegas Sphere ResidencyBrian May says Queen is seriously considering a Las Vegas Sphere residency after seeing the Eagles perform there. He told Rolling Stone, “The kind of show we could put on would be absolutely stupendous.” While May admits he's weary of traditional touring after 50 years, the Sphere could give the band a spectacular new stage without the grind of life on the road. Katie Couric pokes fun at Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad in a new PSA for colon cancer screenings. The clip opens to a close-up of Katie wearing a jean jacket, and quickly pans out to show she's wearing a hospital gown underneath, and she's on a gurney getting ready for a colonoscopy. She tells the camera, quote, "Speaking of genes. Did you know that the majority of people who develop colon cancer are not genetically predisposed to the disease? That's why doctors recommend everyone 45 and older get checked." Katie told "People" magazine, quote, "That ad showed how pop culture and a pair of jeans could really shape the cultural conversation, it was everywhere. It was a moment in time, and we thought, 'Why don't we ride that horse a little bit longer and have some fun with it?'" It'sbeen 25 years since Katie became the first person in history to broadcast a colonoscopy on national TV. She lost her husband to colon cancer in 1998. He was only 42. One of the most famous homes in American history is opening its doors to the public for the first time ever. The "Brady Bunch" house in North Hollywood will be accessible to fans on November 7th, 8th, and 9th. And while bookings are sold out, you can register to be on a waitlist, or be notified if additional dates become available. When the show was in production back in the day, the house was only used for EXTERIOR shots. The inside of the Brady home was created on a soundstage, and the inside of the actual house looked nothing like it. But HGTV bought the house in 2018, and renovated it so that it DOES match the house from the show. And of course, they recorded it for a series called "A Very Brady Renovation".

Sacha Baron Cohen, 53, has been spotted on a dinner date with 27-year-old OnlyFans creator Hannah Palmer, just months after finalizing his $75 million divorce from Isla Fisher. Page SixThe pair were seen leaving the restaurant separately before getting into the same Cadillac Escalade.

Action legend Chuck Norris, now 85, marked his birthday by hiking Lassen Peak in Northern California—a strenuous trail rising to 10,457 feet. The round-trip journey spans about 5 miles and climbs 2,000 feet, often taking 4 to 5 hours to complete. Outside OnlineOn Instagram, Norris reflected on the trail's long recovery since the 2021 Dixie Fire, saying while the damage is heartbreaking, “the park's beauty still shines through.” Outside Online+2Active NorCal+2 He also credited his wife for introducing him to the region's natural splendor. It's official: HBO Max wants to traumatize your children. What other reason could there be for them to produce a brand new, animated version of "Charlotte's Web", one of the greatest children's stories ever told . . . until it becomes the most heart-wrenchingly brutal story in the history of mankind? This one is a limited series, told in three parts, which will all be released on Thursday, October 2nd. It stars Amy Adams as Charlotte, Elijah Wood as Wilbur the pig, and Jean Smart as the narrator. The voice cast also includes Cynthia Erivo, Randall Park, and Rosario Dawson.

Police chiefs in the North State have different approaches to assisting with potential deportations. Also, homeowners impacted by the Dixie Fire can receive financial assistance from the California Department of Housing and Community Development, and many Chico residents feel unsafe walking at night due to a lack of street lamps, but some advocates say steps need to be taken to keep our skies dark at night.

Oroville city councilors Tuesday heard a presentation from Pioneer Community Energy, the nonprofit says it could help reduce residents' energy costs. Also, the Plumas County District Attorney's Office notified Dixie Fire survivors of an Oct. 26 deadline for a program that provides compensation, and the town of Quincy is gearing up for the grand opening of a new bike park.

How wildfires like the Park Fire are threatening California salmon. Two housing measures, Prop 5 and Prop 33, will be on the ballot in November. Finally, the local website “The Lookout” offers context and clarity to wildfire coverage in the region. Park Fire Threatening Spring-Run Salmon The Park Fire is California's fourth-largest wildfire, and has burned over 420,000 acres across Northern California in more than two weeks. The fire is now threatening some of the last refuges of California's iconic spring-run salmon in the Central Valley - a population that has already faced devastating declines in recent years. Carson Jeffres, Senior Research Ecologist at the UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences joins Insight to talk about the dangers the fire poses to these fish, and whether they can still bounce back. Breaking Down Housing Propositions 5 and 33 California's shortage of affordable housing is an ongoing and well-documented crisis. Now, a pair of measures on the November ballot aim to ease this problem. Prop 5 would lower the threshold for bond borrowing, while Prop 33 would allow for more rent control measures. Sac State Public Policy Professor Robert Wassmer spoke with CapRadio Politics Reporter Megan Myscofski about the potential impact of these two propositions, and some of the challenges they might face ahead of the election. Wildfire Website ‘The Lookout' During the 2021 Dixie Fire, which burned across five counties in Northern California, Zeke Lunder found the amount of fire information available on the internet overwhelming and lacking in context. So he started The Lookout to help. Lunder is a pyrogeographer and the founder of Deer Creek Resources. He has been mapping wildfires and leading a crew for more than 20 years. He joins us to talk about the Park Fire, which is currently burning east of Chico.

Special coverage — Today we hear from Zeke Lunder, fire analyst and founder of the-lookout.org, about the parallels of the Park Fire and Dixie Fire that hit the North State three years ago. Both took off quickly, then went somewhat dormant. But the Dixie Fire ended up flaring up again, going on a “rampage” about two weeks later. The Park Fire has been less active the past few days, but a changing weather pattern has officials concerned for tomorrow and the weekend.

As California faces a multi-billion dollar budget shortfall this year, one program on the chopping block is Market Match that provides extra money to use on produce at farmers markets. Also, assistance is now available to help Dixie Fire survivors rebuild homes or rental properties, and Butte County wants to know how you think your tax dollars should be spent.

A nonprofit in Greenville hopes to repair the landscape lost in the Dixie Fire by replanting trees and shrubs in the burn scar. The Dixie Fire Canopy Project will host its first planting and seedling giveaway in April. Also, election results have been certified in Butte County. Voter turnout was nearly 47% and higher than the state average which was also true for other North State counties, and a new tiny home community for unhoused residents could soon open in Redding.

More than half of Chico renters spend 30% or more of their income on rent and utilities, putting them at-risk for homelessness. Also, more enforcement notices have been issued for unhoused campers in Chico, and the Greenville Maidu Tribe will receive $2.5 million from PG&E for its role in the 2021 Dixie Fire.

An exhibit at UC Davis argues the future isn't pre-determined when it comes to wildfires. Also, a new study by Harvard University shows the Chico area has the second highest share of rent-burned residents in the state, and the California Public Utilities Commission has fined PG&E $45 million for its involvement in the 2021 Dixie Fire as part of a settlement between the company and utility regulator.

Also, a controversial settlement agreement between the California Public Utilities Commission and PG&E over the energy company's role in the deadly 2021 Dixie Fire was delayed for a second time this week, and the Shasta County Election Commission has asked that the county's supervisors to hire legal counsel to find out if they have authority to review election materials.

It's a mix and match on this episode of BEHIND THE LENS as we welcome filmmakers TYLOR NORWOOD talking FIRELINE and JUSTIN BEST talking about SHERYL, plus our exclusive interview with director REGINALD HUDLIN talking CANDY CANE LANE. Thanks to having to juggle some "missing" talent while live on-air, you get the added bonus of our prerecorded exclusive interview with director REGINALD HUDLIN talking about CANDY CANE LANE to kick off the show and put us in a holiday mood. Then filmmaker TYLOR NORWOOD joins us to discuss his documentary FIRELINE, an up close and personal look on the firelines of the Dixie Fire in California as experienced and seen through the eyes of men holding the line. And then we say hello to writer/director JUSTIN BEST who joins us live talking about his delicious dark dark comedy revenge thriller SHERYL. Just what lengths will a woman (or man) go to in the pursuit of the perfect face and body, especially as a means to keep their man and feel wanted? Intriguing themes and an almost insatiable bloodlust which lends to some very cool camerawork. Passionate about the project, articulate, and thoughtful in our conversation, Justin is a joy to speak with. I think you'll enjoy hearing about his journey with SHERYL. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Two Years After the Dixie Fire, Towns That Relied on Pacific Crest Trail Hikers Are Still Struggling Two years ago, the Dixie Fire nearly wiped the Pacific Crest Trail off the map. With a lot of work, the trail has mostly been repaired. But sections of the PCT remain inaccessible, and for the first time in history, doing a continuous hike of the trail from beginning to end is almost impossible. It's a huge blow to rural towns along the trail, which rely on the hikers and trail tourism to survive. Reporter Dana Cronin ventured out into a tiny town called Belden, to see how people are doing after the fire. Fresno's New Gordita Shop is an Homage to Mom's Cooking Americans may be more familiar with tacos, but in the northern regions of Mexico, gorditas are a more popular kind of street food. And for Lizett Lopez, a Fresno native who recently moved back to the Central Valley during the pandemic, gorditas are closely tied to her identity, her culture and heritage – and now, her mother. As part of our Flavor Profile series, Reporter Olivia Zhao brings us the bittersweet story behind Lucy's Gorditas, the latest addition to Fresno's Mexican food scene.

Governor Gavin Newsom is not running for president, but for some reason, Thursday night in Georgia, he will face off in a debate with a man who is in the 2024 race: Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. What do both have to gain from the debate? Guest: Marisa Lagos, KQED The California Public Utilities Commission will vote Thursday on whether to settle their enforcement against PG&E for the utility's involvement in the 2021 Dixie Fire. Reporter: Danielle Venton, KQED More than 3,000 California pharmacies have stopped flavoring medication as of this month.

Margaret Elysia Garcia, author and poet published by El Martillo Press, has spent a couple of decades living in Greenville, a Gold Rush-era Northern California town, that no longer exists as it did in 2021. That's because it was devoured by the Dixie Fire, one of the largest blazes in California history. Margaret began writing her poetry collection “Burn Scars” while waiting at traffic stops driving from her mother's house to her former hometown. She grappled with the destructive aftermath that began with a eulogy and ended with a 79 page poetry book memoir. On this show, we discuss with Margaret how poetry serves as a vehicle to process, mourn, and raise awareness around climate disruption while honoring those on the front lines. She shares her poetry and tells us how a town of marginal incomes, set in dense forests, was almost completely destroyed. Margaret relates how the fire started near a Pacific Gas and Electric power station and spread at an incomprehensible rate as a result of gusty winds and historically dry conditions. Thankfully no lives were lost. But the fire resulted in significant losses of property and livelihoods with major challenges for rebuilding. One thing's for sure, lots of lessons were learned and stronger community bonds were built.

Over the past year, several property insurance companies have pulled out or scaled back coverage in the Golden State in the face of growing risks from catastrophic, climate change-charged wildfires. Other climate vulnerable states like flood-prone Florida and Louisiana too, have experienced insurer pull-outs.But it isn't just insurance companies that are pulling out. Other financial institutions like banks, too, are beginning to increase prices or withdraw services altogether from regions they perceive to be at high environmental risk. This emerging phenomenon in the financial services industry, known as bluelining, is expected to impact marginalized communities the worst and deepen existing economic and racial inequities. To understand this new environmental justice issue and learn about the ways we can address it, Earth Island Journal editor and Terra Verde host Maureen Nandini Mitra talks with two climate finance strategists — Monica Palmeira of the Oakland-based Greenlining Institute, who co-authored a report called Bluelining: Climate Financial Discrimination on the Horizon, and Caroline Nagy, senior policy counsel for Housing, Corporate Power, and Climate Justice at Americans for Financial Reform. The post Bluelining – Tackling an Emerging Climate Justice Issue appeared first on KPFA.

In 2019 a PG&E volt transmission line failed, starting the Kincade Fire in Sonoma County, and two years later, PG&E power lines sparked what became the Dixie Fire, the largest wildfire in California's history. On Monday, the utility company reached a settlement of $55 million which allows it to escape criminal liability stemming from those fires. We'll talk with Marketplace reporter Lily Jamali about the settlement and where the money will go.

B.A.2 is here and by all estimations we are going to be dealing with COVID for a long time.  How do we move forward and still protect the most vulnerable among us? Pacific Gas & Electric has agreed to pay more than $55 million to avoid criminal prosecution for two major wildfires started by its aging power lines in Northern California, prosecutors announced Monday. PG&E does not admit wrongdoing in the two settlements reached with prosecutors for last year's Dixie Fire - one of the largest wildfires in California's history - and the 2019 Kincade Fire in Sonoma County. The deals expedite damages payments to the hundreds of people whose homes were destroyed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this interview, correspondent Polly Nash talks to fire fighter Cami Schafer about one of the many frightening effects of climate change; the ever-growing threat of wildfires around the world. Last year California was hit by the Dixie Fire, the largest single forest fire in the state's history. Burning for four months, the Dixie Fire destroyed over a thousand buildings and devastated entire towns. Cami Schafer, who was fighting this fire alongside her colleagues, gives insights into her daily work, her struggles and most importantly, what kept her sane and motivated during the demanding operation.

Well what can you say about Shannon Jay.... he is everything a hero should be and a little bit more!!!!Shannon Jay is an ex law enforcement officer who has now retired and when the need arises he will drive hours to enter the burn zones of Fire affected areas to rescue and locate cats who are missing, injured and often hours away from death. Shannon has cumulatively spent over three thousand hours in the burns zones of the Tubbs Fire, Paradise Fire as well as the most recent Dixie Fire.  Shannon enters these areas when the air is so toxic and dangerous yet is filled only with determination to do what he is there to do.. save lives, to rescue and find as many cats as he can.Shannon has skills that would rival anyone. There is probably next to nothing that he doesn't know about rescuing and finding lost cats and especially those cats affected by the awful camp fires. His skills have enabled him to save cats from the brink of death, find them in time and reunite them with their families who have been heartbroken and sick with worry. Shannon even rescued a cat 222 days after a fire. His reputation goes before him and his success rate is one which is prolific and he is generally just an outstanding human being.Shannon shares during our chat the do's and do not's of working in these conditions, the behaviours of cats who are as you know some of the most skilled animals on the planet. He explains how to track them, their patterns and information which brings his story to life. For someone listening ,who like me, would probably never have a reason to be in a burn zone to fully understand what it is like then you will hear Shannon describes everything so visually that you feel part of his journey, as if you are there beside him.Shannon has a gift with words and doesn't hold back in educating others, he wants to help, he wants others to do what he does but in the best way possible and is passionate about his work in this field ,which by the way, comes from his heart and his whole being.Shannon has a gift, it goes without saying, but one thing that came across is his humility, his humbleness and his outright respect for the animals he does so much to rescue. You can tell from his every word that he cares deeply for these amazing beings, he is broken when he knows he could not or did not save them in time and yet finds something deep inside him which keeps him going doing what he does best.Shannon's respect for cats is evident to anyone listening or to anyone who has the privilege of spending any amount of time in his company. I witnessed it even if it was only virtually and in so many ways he was quite awe inspiring. I felt respect and trust for a man I have never met. The only way to describe it is to know that if anyone was to be out there searching for my lost cat then I would want it to be Shannon, I know I could trust him to do everything in his power to find them. Any cat saved by Shannon was and is a lucky one. The man is gifted.Besides saving cats from Fires and devastating burn zones Shannon also works with people around the world helping them to find lost cats, even so far as helping someone in the UK all the way from America. As I already said ... gifted!One thing I failed to mention to Shannon during the interview but which I noted and that was his thanks for his partner Heather. He recognised her part in his role during these fires and how its not only about him but about Heather too. That itself was beautiful to hear and I am sorry Shannon I did not mention it to you when we spoke, but I did hear you and know how much you truly appreciate the support you receive from Heather.Shannon is one star of the Fire Cats Movie Thanks for listening!Fiona xSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/letschataboutcatspodcast)

His skills have enabled him to save cats from the brink of death, find them in time and reunite them with their families who have been heartbroken and sick with worry. Shannon even rescued a cat 222 days after a fire. His reputation goes before him and his success rate is one which is prolific and he is generally just an outstanding human being.Shannon shares during our chat the do's and do not's of working in these conditions, the behaviours of cats who are as you know some of the most skilled animals on the planet. He explains how to track them, their patterns and information which brings his story to life. For someone listening ,who like me, would probably never have a reason to be in a burn zone to fully understand what it is like then you will hear Shannon describes everything so visually that you feel part of his journey, as if you are there beside him. Shannon has a gift with words and doesn't hold back in educating others, he wants to help, he wants others to do what he does but in the best way possible and is passionate about his work in this field ,which by the way, comes from his heart and his whole being.Shannon has a gift, it goes without saying, but one thing that came across is his humility, his humbleness and his outright respect for the animals he does so much to rescue. You can tell from his every word that he cares deeply for these amazing beings, he is broken when he knows he could not or did not save them in time and yet finds something deep inside him which keeps him going doing what he does best. Shannon's respect for cats is evident to anyone listening or to anyone who has the privilege of spending any amount of time in his company. I witnessed it even if it was only virtually and in so many ways he was quite awe inspiring. I felt respect and trust for a man I have never met. The only way to describe it is to know that if anyone was to be out there searching for my lost cat then I would want it to be Shannon, I know I could trust him to do everything in his power to find them. Any cat saved by Shannon was and is a lucky one. The man is gifted.Besides saving cats from Fires and devastating burn zones Shannon also works with people around the world helping them to find lost cats, even so far as helping someone in the UK all the way from America. As I already said ... gifted!One thing I failed to mention to Shannon during the interview but which I noted and that was his thanks for his partner Heather. He recognised her part in his role during these fires and how its not only about him but about Heather too. That itself was beautiful to hear and I am sorry Shannon I did not mention it to you when we spoke, but I did hear you and know how much you truly appreciate the support you receive from Heather.Shannon is one star of the Fire Cats Movie Thanks for listening!Fiona xSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/letschataboutcatspodcast)

Wildfires are causing more destruction in North America than at any time in recorded history.  In 2010 they consumed 3.4 million acres, but nearly tripled to devour more than 10 million acres in 2020. They also have been responsible for numerous injuries and loss of life, razing thousands of homes, displacing wildlife, destroying natural resources, and even spewing air pollution thousands of miles away. Fighting these hellish infernos is a massive, all-out-war-like undertaking. The 2020 Dixie Fire was finally brought under control with the help of 6,500 personnel (from firefighters to the people who fed them), 1,000 fire trucks, water tankers, and bulldozers, and 1,000 miles of firehose. While some fires occur naturally, set off by lightening, for example, 84% are caused by humans. And, no matter how you slice it, humans are helping create the conditions of this continental tinderbox. One group of attorneys from Baron & Budd and Dixon Diab & Chambers LLP is securing and seeking recovery for individuals, municipalities, and insurance companies that pay claims, when they can accomplish the difficult task of identifying the responsible parties. Positioned as "Wildfire Recovery Attorneys," they have done so in cases against Pacific Gas & Electric Corp. and Southern California Edison, which they have sued for allegedly failing to maintain power lines and the areas beneath them, among other things.I had the pleasure of interviewing Ed Diab, co-founder of Dixon Diab & Chambers in San Diego, about his firm's role in the litigation, what the claims are, what defenses they encounter, settlements they have secured, what evidentiary hurdles plaintiffs face, and  more.  They've been successful. Since 2018, Dixon Diab & Chambers has recovered more $1.4 billion in settlements. And there is more to come. The firm represents more than 40 public entities – including some of the largest cities and counties in California – as well as thousands of individuals and families. Ed leads the firm's mass tort practice which, in addition to wildfire litigation, represents people who allege injuries from defective drugs and medical devices.This podcast is the audio companion to the Journal on Emerging Issues in Litigation, a collaborative project between HB Litigation Conferences and the legal news folks at Law Street Media, and the Fastcase legal research family, which includes Docket Alarm and Judicata. If you have comments or wish to participate in one our projects, or want to tell me how insightful our guests are, please drop me a note at Editor@LitigationConferences.com. Thanks to Ed Diab for speaking with me about this fascinating and frightening subject, and to Baron & Budd's Scott Summy for introducing us.  For my part, I am sure my suggestion that they install smoke detectors all over the forest is complete nonsense.  Also, I spoke with a friend who majored in Latin. Even though I showed zero confidence, I apparently stumbled close to the pronunciation of flammagenitus, Latin for “fire cloud.” I promised you a photo of one. Also called pyrocumulus clouds, they look as terrifying as they sound. Tom HagyHostEmerging Litigation Podcast

Between the earth's climate warming, exposure growth in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI), and other factors, the loss potential of wildfires is growing. In this partner podcast series episode of Conversations on the Creek, Rob Savitsky and Robert Fletcher from Duck Creek chat with Clark Woodward of RedZone about the impact of climate change on wildfire risk, the Dixie Fire in California, and how wildfire risk scores and the drivers behind those scores are enabling insurers to make smarter underwriting decisions.

In episode 2, John and Ashton talk about our second tree of the day, sassafras (Sassafras albidum), and we begin a dialogue about current large wildfires in the western Unites States. Have we always managed forests properly to prevent wildfires? Why don't we see such large wildfires in the southeast US? Listen in as we cover a topic that makes headlines every summer. At the end, you will hear an update on the Dixie Fire and learn who our first expert guest on wildfire will be in an upcoming episode. Cheers! Produced by: John Tracy Music: "Early Sun" by Crowander

A travel agent is upset that his efforts to fill an entire airplane with volunteers to assist with the Dixie Fire in Northern California did not result in him getting a plastic American Airlines wings pin from a stewardess, as he lost out to a well-behaved special needs person that was also on the flight. Some people can be so narcissistic!

Fires are devastating to communities and to the children, teens and adults grappling to survive and to recover. During the last week in Western United States, over 22,000 firefighters were combating wildfires, homes burned, and thousands of residents fled from the fast-moving flames. The Dixie Fire in Northern California and the Bootleg Fire in southern Oregon are being further sparked by very dry conditions and what climate change scientists say from climate change. The stark reality is we cannot expect the wildfire threat to ease any time soon. The harsh reality is the nation will continue to see more intense wildfires stated Oregon Gov. Kate Brown last week. We can learn from communities like Butte County's Paradise, California destroyed by the Camp Fire in 2018. Many people lost their lives. The community of Butte County gathered during and after this tragedy to rebuild. Scott Dinits, my guest works as the Human Resources Director for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the North Valley and is also a Co-Director of the Ability First Sports Camp in Butte County. He is a Steering Committee member of Thrive. Thrive exists to support and expand community wide policies and practices that promote resiliency and address the impact of childhood trauma across all generations. Scott will address the impact on children and families caused by the fires and how through working with programs promoting wellness, healing can occur. He is certified in the Community Resiliency Model and as an ACE Interface Master Trainer.
