More than 900 Southern California Edison customers in the Inland Empire were forced to endure a power outage that lasted nearly 30 hours amid an oppressive heatwave bringing triple-digit temperatures to the area.  Nate Chripczuk is back inside his San Bernardino home now, but the piano instructor said staying inside his house during the outage wasn’t possible, forcing him to cancel his classes.  “I had to cancel them because I had no power. It was too hot,” he told KTLA.  The outage started at around 3:30 p.m. Sunday.  “The heat from the day was so bad here in the house that we couldn’t bear it,” Chripczuk added. “We had to stay in the car until 2:45 or something in the morning until we thought it was kind of cool enough.”  It was a challenge for the piano instructor to keep his pets cool and take care of his mother, who can’t be in the heat for too long due to underlying health issues. The power wasn’t restored until Monday night at around 8:30 p.m. While Chripc...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:16:39 GMT

SAN JOSE — The former sports trainer accused of sexually assaulting more than two dozen female athletes over more than a decade is no “sociopath, predator or charlatan,” his lawyer told a federal jury Tuesday on the opening day of a long-awaited criminal trial into allegations at the center of a scandal that rocked San Jose State University.Instead, Scott Shaw is “a good and dedicated trainer” whose legitimate treatment was misunderstood by mostly teenage girls, his lawyer said. The allegations against Shaw were fanned by “team chemistry” among female athletes primed to support each other, he said, along with explosive media stories and FBI agents setting out to prove Shaw was guilty.“Once this fire got started, Scott Shaw’s career burst into flames, and no one was interested in the job of putting it out,” defense lawyer Dave Callaway told the jury of 8 women and 4 men.The opening statements in San Jose’s federal court — just two blocks from the university campus —...
