Indian bar snacks and TV cricket come to a San Ramon sports lounge

The Bay Area has thousands of cricket players bowling on pitches from Dublin to Fremont and Sunnyvale. Now all those sportos have a new place to drink and watch even more cricket on TV, thanks to an Indian sports-lounge concept in San Ramon run by the folks at Curry Up Now.It’s a “concept” because the Mortar & Pestle Sports Lounge is a revamp of an existing Mortar & Pestle Bar (of which Curry Up Now has a few) with a menu inspired by Indian street-food carts and a focus on TV sports, from soccer and rugby to the hottest matches in international cricket. (This Sunday’s Rajasthan Royals versus Royal Challengers Bangalore is bound to be a nail-biter.) If you haven’t visited this location before, it’s in the City Center Bishop Ranch shopping mall which – you learn something every day – was designed by Renzo Piano.Related ArticlesRestaurants, Food and Drink | 7 incredible Bay Area things to do this weekend Restaurants, Food and ...Westbound Hwy 12 in Santa Rosa closed due to overturned big rig

Since President Joe Biden came into office in 2021, he has described a “battle between democracies and autocracies” in which the U.S. and other democracies strive to create a peaceful world. The reality, however, is that the Biden administration has helped increase the military power of a large number of authoritarian countries. According to an Intercept review of recently released government data, the U.S. sold weapons to at least 57 percent of the world’s autocratic countries in 2022.Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has been the world’s biggest weapons dealer, accounting for about 40 percent of all arms exports in a given year. In general, these exports are funded through grants or sales. There are two pathways for the latter category: foreign military sales and direct commercial sales.The U.S. government acts as an intermediary for FMS acquisitions: It buys the materiel from a company first and then delivers the goods to the foreign recipient.

All public high schools and middle schools in Loudoun County, Virginia, have school resource officers (SROs), who are employed by the county sheriff’s office. Now a school board member is renewing the call for them at all elementary schools too.Tiffany Polifko, a school board member representing the Broad Run District, asked her colleagues to consider the possible consequences of not having a sheriff’s office employee in each elementary school, during a school board meeting on Wednesday.“We have itinerant SROs that travel back and forth from middle and high schools to our elementary schools,” Polifko said.“The distance could make a difference in an unforeseen dangerous situation. In the event of an emergency, it would be extremely difficult for an SRO in some cases to get to our elementary schools.”The question of whether SROs should be present in each elementary school is not new.John Beatty, a school board member from the Catoctin District, said...Shopping rules to slash impulse spending
