Los Gatos sends road safety improvements back to the drawing board

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:58:24 GMT

The Los Gatos Town Council last week sent safety improvements on Shannon Road back to the drawing board an effort to make the designs mesh with the rural, country feel of the road.Dozens of residents who live along the stretch of Shannon Road between Los Gatos Boulevard and Cherry Blossom Lane voiced their concerns at an April 18 meeting that the current designs were incompatible with the rural feel of the area.The town has been working to install sidewalks, bike lanes and street parking to improve the safety of the road, which is a popular route for students at Blossom Hill Elementary, Van Meter Elementary and Fisher Middle schools to bike or walk to school.“I love this street,” Mayor Maria Ristow said. “It’s beautiful, but I think it will also be beautiful when there’s sidewalks and bike lanes.”The council’s vote also transferred thousands of dollars in town funds to the project, while requiring that staff revise the design to add more trees and remove parking spaces and host an i...

Padre de más de 550 hijos: le advierten que no podrá seguir ofreciendo su esperma

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:58:24 GMT

Un tribunal holandés prohibió el viernes a un hombre donar más de su esperma después de haber engendrado al menos 550 niños en los Países Bajos y otros países y engañado a los futuros padres sobre la cantidad de hijos que ayudó a concebir.El tribunal señaló que, según las pautas holandesas, los donantes de esperma pueden producir un máximo de 25 niños con 12 madres y que el donante mintió a los futuros padres sobre su historial de donaciones.“Espero que este fallo lleve a prohibir las donaciones masivas”, señaló la corte en un comunicado.El donante, identificado como Jonathan M., proporcionó esperma a varias clínicas de fertilidad holandesas y a una clínica en Dinamarca, así como a muchas otras personas con las que se conectó a través de anuncios y foros en línea, dijo el tribunal en su sentencia.

Fracasan los proyectos de ley antiaborto en Nebraska y Carolina del Sur, controlados por el Partido Republicano

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:58:24 GMT

Washington (CNN) — Las medidas que habrían restringido severamente el aborto fracasaron este jueves en Nebraska y Carolina del Sur, que tienen legislaturas controladas por los republicanos, un reflejo del creciente malestar entre los republicanos por la popularidad política de las prohibiciones estrictas.En Nebraska, una “Ley del Latido del Corazón” habría prohibido la mayoría de los abortos después de las seis semanas, excepto en casos de violación o incesto o para preservar la vida de la madre una vez detectado el “latido del corazón del feto”, pero se estancó en la legislatura.La votación para superar el obstruccionismo fracasó por 32 votos a favor y 15 en contra, con la abstención de dos senadores, entre ellos el senador estatal republicano Merv Riepe, lo que dejó la medida a un voto de la mayoría de dos tercios necesaria para su consideración. Riepe, cofirmante del proyecto de ley, había propuesto una enmienda para trasladar la prohibición a 12 sem...
