RODEO — Though the young girl’s cause of death remains officially a mystery, prosecutors have formally charged the father and stepmother of 11-year-old Annai Diaz with murdering her, on top of pre-existing charges of torture, child abuse, and mayhem, court records show.Rene Diaz, and his wife, Crystal Diaz, were arrested after the girl’s March 2021 death and charged with extreme, horrific abuse that authorities allege started as early as October 2020. But for more than a year, Annai’s actual death remained under investigation, while the coroner’s office searched for an explanation and shifted its theory, changing the official cause from “homicide” to “undetermined,” according to court records.Prosecutors filed the murder charge late last year, but brought it before a judge last month in a preliminary hearing for the couple, where police testified about the alleged torture and abuse. Rene and Crystal Diaz are next due in court in ...Move over California and France. This country has the best wines in the world for 2023

Thirteen states issued air-quality alerts as of Wednesday morning as dangerous fumes from more than 160 wildfires in Quebec spread over large swaths of the American Northeast. As a whole, Canada is actively fighting 413 wildfires. There have been 2,214 wildfires in the country so far in 2023 that burned more than 8 million acres.Stacker cited data from the National Interagency Fire Center, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to visualize how the spread of wildfires has worsened in recent years.Wildfires are innate to forest ecosystems, clearing out dead debris and paving the way for new growth, but climate change has elongated dry seasons, increased temperatures, and widened the potential for large-scale wildfires.

SAN FRANCISCO (BCN) -- In a close vote, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday against designating the orchestra-level seats in the iconic Castro Theatre as a historical landmark. Supervisors voted 6-4 to landmark parts of the interior of the Castro Theatre -- the city's oldest and longest operating single-screen movie house - but not include the theater seats that its management wants to remove. The decision comes as event organizer and theatre manager Another Planet Entertainment has been vying to make space more into a live entertainment venue and less of a movie theatre -- which includes replacing seats with temporary seats and flat platforms for standing-room only events.
