(BCN) -- Bellarmine College Preparatory, a prestigious private Catholic boys high school in San Jose, is planning for several updates to facilities on its campus in the city's College Park neighborhood.

The city's Planning Commission will consider approval at its meeting Wednesday, and the San Jose City Council will have the final say at a later date. The planning commission will also consider approval of environmental review documents for both short-term and long-term potential redevelopment on the campus.

Why the new COVID booster shot could be costly for some people

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:19:10 GMT

The updated COVID-19 booster shots are expected to be available to the public in the coming days, but for adults without insurance, they will be costly.“This is the first time that COVID vaccines are basically entering the commercial market,” said Jennifer Kates, a vaccine policy analyst with KFF, an independent policy research organization. “Up until this time, the federal government had purchased them all and given them for free.”That is why people are encouraged to bring proof of insurance when they get the new booster.“The good news is that virtually everybody with private or public insurance will still not have to pay anything for these vaccines,” Kates said.People under 18 years old will be able to get the boosters for free.However, uninsured adults will need to pay an estimated $110 to $130 for a single dose, unless they can get access to a federal program that offers the new boosters for free.“It’s going to be like the flu shot...

(CNN) — El presidente de la Cámara de Representantes, Kevin McCarthy, anunció este martes que pedirá a sus comisiones dar inicio a una investigación formal de juicio político contra el presidente Joe Biden, a pesar de que todavía no se han probado las acusaciones acerca del presunto beneficio directo que el mandatario podría haber obtenido de los negocios de su hijo en el extranjero.La decisión de McCarthy se produce en medio de la creciente presión de su flanco derecho para que siga adelante con la investigación, incluidos algunos miembros de la extrema derecha que han amenazado con destituir a McCarthy como presidente de la Cámara de Representantes si no avanza lo suficientemente rápido en dicha investigación.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A meeting Tuesday of South Carolina lawmakers considering how to best counter future pandemics was dominated by vaccine skeptics pushing concerns about COVID-19 immunizations that are unaccepted by the greater medical community.Members of the all-Republican panel seeking more independence from federal health regulators were receptive to speakers who sewed doubt about vaccine safety and efficacy, as well as distrust in the scientific establishment. Testimony began with an hourlong presentation from Aaron Siri, the managing partner at a New York law firm that 2021 tax filings show received over $3 million from an influential Texas-based group that campaigns against vaccine requirements.The previously scheduled pandemic preparedness listening session convened just one day after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved updated COVID-19 vaccines in an attempt to temper any surge this fall.

Movie Review: Kenneth Branagh crafts a sumptuously spooky ‘A Haunting in Venice’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:19:10 GMT

Kenneth Branagh indulges in the kind of macabre theatricality that only a crumbling Venetian palazzo on a stormy Halloween night can provide in “ A Haunting in Venice. ”Moviegoers probably long ago made up their mind one way or another about Branagh’s stately and flawed Hercule Poirot franchise, but should there be any curiosity left for this third installment is worth it. It is spooky, fun and features Tina Fey, looking smart and sleek in post-war suits as the fast-talking author of wildly successful whodunnits who says things like “I’m the smartest person I know” in a mid-Atlantic accent.Set in 1947 on a particularly foggy night in the city of canals, “A Haunting in Venice” is beautiful to look at, with costumes by Sammy Sheldon, production design by John Paul Kelly and cinematography by Haris Zambarloukos. And it’s embellished with moody but palatable scares that feel reminiscent of classics like “The Innocents” and “The Others,” that are enhanced by Hildur Guðnadóttir’s score. I...
