Whatever has been going on with Jamie Foxx the past three weeks, people close to him have raised an alarm by revealing that he remains hospitalized. They’ve also asked fans to “Pray for Jamie.”Citing sources close to the 55-year-old Academy Award winner, TMZ reported early Wednesday that he needs “all the prayers and well-wishes his fans can muster” as he continues to be treated at a hospital in Atlanta. TMZ also said that Foxx’s condition remains a tightly guarded “secret.”Foxx’s fans first learned that the prolific actor, singer and comedian was dealing with a health catastrophe on April 12, when his daughter, Corinne Foxx, announced on social media that he had suffered “a medical complication” the day before, on April 11.

Santa Clara council OKs transitional housing project for homeless families

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:37:52 GMT

SANTA CLARA — A 30-unit interim housing complex for homeless families may soon be erected on a parcel of county-owned land on the corner of Lawrence Expressway and Benton Street.Following a contentious meeting that spanned the last two Tuesday evenings and ran late into the night, the Santa Clara City Council voted 4 to 3 to partner with Santa Clara County and the non-profit LifeMoves on the potential project. Councilmembers Kathy Watanabe, Karen Hardy, Suds Jain and Anthony Becker voted for the project, while Mayor Lisa Gillmor, Vice Mayor Kevin Park and Councilmember Raj Chahal voted against it.The project is expected to be funded through several different revenue streams, but the county has been banking on a large portion of the money coming from Project Homekey — a pandemic-era initiative from Gov. Gavin Newsom to convert and create transitional housing for homeless individuals. Santa Clara on Tuesday, however, declined to be a co-sponsor on the application for the f...

(AP) — For the first time, scientists have caught a star in the act of swallowing a planet — not just a nibble or bite, but one big gulp.Astronomers on Wednesday reported their observations of what appeared to be a gas giant around the size of Jupiter or bigger being eaten by its star. The sun-like star had been puffing up with old age for eons and finally got so big that it engulfed the close-orbiting planet.It’s a gloomy preview of what will happen to Earth when our sun morphs into a red giant and gobbles the four inner planets.“If it’s any consolation, this will happen in about 5 billion years,” said co-author Morgan MacLeod of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.This galactic feast happened between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago near the Aquila constellation when the star was around 10 billion years old. As the planet went down the stellar hatch, there was a swift hot outburst of light, fol...
