Quick Glance: Tara VanDerveer announces retirement after historic coaching career

After 38 seasons leading the Stanford women’s team and a total of 45 years, Tara VanDerveer, the coach with the most wins in NCAA history, announced her retirement on Tuesday night.

In January, the 70-year-old VanDerveer surpassed Mike Krzyzewski in terms of the wins record. She leaves the stage with a total of 1,216 victories across Idaho, Ohio State, and Stanford University.

Her impact will endure, given her consistent dedication to mentoring fellow coaches, whether through sharing game footage or offering support and insights in the visiting team's locker room.

VanDerveer’s final day is set for May 8, marking the 39th anniversary of her hiring. She intends to maintain an advisory role for the school and athletic department going forward.

Quick Glance: Stanford's Top Scorer Kiki Iriafen Enters Transfer Portal

Stanford junior Kiki Iriafen, one of the top women's basketball players in the country heading into the next season, has reportedly entered the transfer portal.

Iriafen, a 6-foot-3 forward hailing from Los Angeles, led the Cardinal this season as the top scorer (19.4 PPG) and second-best rebounder (11.0).

Iriafen showcased exceptional performances throughout the season, including notable games with 26 points and 10 rebounds against NC State and 41 points and 16 rebounds against Iowa State.

Iriafen's departure leaves Stanford without their key player for the upcoming season, especially with Cameron Brink moving on to the WNBA draft. Stanford is also set for coaching changes with Tara VanDerveer stepping down and Kate Paye expected to assume the role.

Quick Glance: A South Bay Couple's Journey to Find Their First Home Amid Expecting a Baby

Nishant Singh and Apeqsha Dudani decided to purchase a $1.5 million home in the Bay Area upon learning they are expecting a daughter in July. Despite high interest rates and fierce market competition, their budget ranged between $1.3 and $1.5 million.

Prioritizing a single-family home with at least three bedrooms and space for parental visits in a good school district, they opted for a $1,339,000 house in South San Jose after considering various options in San Jose and Fremont.

Although initially aiming not to spend more than $1.5 million, an offer of $1.625 million allowed them to secure the house. Despite the higher price, they achieved a $1,200 monthly savings on the mortgage and look forward to preparing their new home for their daughter.

Two weeks after moving in, they are still adjusting to homeownership and plan to prepare the house for their daughter. Despite initial concerns about distance from friends, they are excited to host events and gatherings, including a baby shower in June.

Buyers grab downtown San Jose condos in foreclosure auction with winning bids up to $32,300

mercurynews.com/2024/04/09/san-jose-real-estate-house-home-foreclose-auction-condo-economy-china/

Quick Glance: Buyers Secure San Jose Downtown Condos at Foreclosure Auction with Bids up to $32,300

Potential buyers gathered for an auction to acquire ten condominiums in a residential building in downtown San Jose constructed by a developer facing challenges, despite legal processes aiming to postpone the foreclosure and sale.

Following the delinquency of Z&L Properties in paying the HOA maintenance fees for the ten condominiums, the association for the dual-tower complex organized the auction.

Despite the issuance of a temporary restraining order by Santa Clara County Superior Court Helen Williams on April 2, the auction activities continued outside the courthouse, leading to an unexpected and thrilling sequence of events.

Z&L Properties has a 90-day window to reclaim ownership of the recently sold units if the outstanding fees, fines, and interests for each condominium are settled. Nevertheless, the purchasers of the nine units paid a remarkable fraction of the expected price for residential properties in a high-rise building in the Bay Area.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Oakland International Airport is considering adding 'San Francisco' to its name to attract more passengers, but faces opposition from neighbors across the Bay.

The Board of Commissioners for the Port of Oakland will discuss the matter at their upcoming meeting on Thursday.

Officially known as Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, the airport lost 39 of 54 new routes added from July 2008 to March 2024, raising concerns about geographical confusion among travelers.

The potential name-change has alarmed San Francisco officials, who fear it would cause confusion among travelers and infringe on the city's trademark rights.

Quick Glance: Popular Brewery Closes: Is Downtown's Momentum at Risk?

Shortly after celebrating its sixth anniversary, Camino Brewing Company in San Jose unexpectedly shut its doors due to inflation, slow pandemic recovery, and a failed funding plan.

While Camino's closure is regrettable, it should not signal downtown's downfall. New openings and cultural additions have revitalized the area, yet concerns loom over other venues facing challenges.

Office return rates lingering at 40% explain the mainly nighttime activities. Popular establishments like the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles are struggling, highlighting the need for community support.

The opening of Elyse and potential closures of other downtown gems emphasize the importance of patronizing and backing local businesses to preserve the cultural tapestry of the city.

Quick Glance: Allegation: Arrested Teacher Coerced Student to Abort

Shawn Renee Thomas, 56, of Los Gatos, was arrested in March 2024 on suspicion of engaging in a sexual relationship with a student while serving as a teacher at Leigh High School in San Jose in the early 2000s. In a recent lawsuit, the accuser alleges that he compelled her to terminate a pregnancy that arose from their illicit sexual connection.

The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe in legal documents, claims that she found herself pregnant in 2003 at the age of 15 and Shawn Thomas insisted on her undergoing an abortion. This detail is outlined in the lawsuit filed against Thomas and the Campbell Union High School District.

Furthermore, Doe asserts that Thomas' wife, who was a dean at the school during the events, nearly caught them engaging in sexual activity in a classroom. Upon informing Sarah Thomas about her pregnancy later on, the lawsuit states that the dean shifted blame onto her, and no report of her husband's sexual misconduct suspicions was made to authorities by anyone at the school.

The accuser brought the abuse allegations to the attention of the San Jose police in early March, triggering an investigation that led to Thomas' arrest on March 22. Charges of rape, sexual penetration of a minor, and five counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a minor have been pressed against him.

Quick Glance: Audit: Lack of Transparency in Tracking Homelessness Spending in San Jose

A recently released state audit revealed that over the past three years, San Jose has not consistently reported on the expenditure of over $300 million to combat homelessness. This raises doubts about whether the money is actually contributing to alleviating the crisis.

The report also found that San Jose lacks clear goals for its homelessness programs and does not have a cohesive plan for building the necessary affordable housing for the estimated 6,340 homeless residents.

Auditors presented a series of recommendations for San Jose to implement by September, including public reporting on homelessness spending, developing a response plan with specific goals, and monitoring the performance of nonprofit service providers.

Despite some disputes over the findings, the city has already started implementing many of the audit's recommendations. Mayor Matt Mahan emphasized the importance of setting goals, measuring results, and being accountable for outcomes.

Quick Glance: California's Lack of Oversight on Billions for Homelessness Programs: State Audit

A new state audit report criticizes California for failing to track the effectiveness of its billion-dollar spending on homelessness programs.

California is faulted for not taking enough measures to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of its homelessness programs.

The audit revealed that two programs, including the Homekey program by the Department of Housing and Community Development and the CalWORKs Housing Support Program by the California Department of Social Services, appear cost-effective.

The audit calls for improved data collection and public reporting of the costs and outcomes of homelessness programs in California.
