The Marin Humane Society wants dog owners to remember that leaving a dog in a car on a hot day is never a good idea.KRON4 did a ride along today with an Animal Services Officer in Marin this week. We had triple digits last weekend and could see extreme heat again this weekend. It’s on days like Tuesday, when temperatures are more comfortable that dog owners let their guard down… but shouldn’t.“So, first thing we do is check the temperature outside,” said animal services officer Chelsea Myers.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — The union representing port workers in the province of British Columbia has rejected a mediator’s tentative agreement meant to end a labor dispute that stopped goods moving in and out of harbors, including at Canada’s busiest port in Vancouver.Rob Ashton, president of the International Longshore Workers Union Canada, said Tuesday in a statement that its caucus does not believe the deal can protect jobs “now or into the future.″He also called the four-year agreement “far too long″ given the uncertainties in the industry and the economy overall.The BC Maritime Employers Association said union leaders rejected the deal without sending it to a full membership vote.“In rejecting this tentative agreement, ILWU Leadership is choosing to further harm Canada’s economy, international reputation and most importantly, to Canadians, their livelihoods and all those that rely on a stable supply chain,” the association said on its website.The 13-day st...La fiscal general de Michigan acusa a 16 falsos electores que dieron por ganador a Donald Trump en 2020

TORONTO (AP) — Toronto Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker was ejected in the second inning Tuesday night against the San Diego Padres for arguing balls and strikes with plate umpire Malachi Moore.Walker and Blue Jays manager John Schneider were unhappy with several calls in the first, including a two-strike pitch to Juan Soto that Moore called a ball. Soto later hit a two-run home run.Moore had already warned Toronto’s dugout twice when Walker came to the mound to visit right-hander Alek Manoah after a two-out walk to ninth-hitter Trent Grisham in the second.Walker did not turn and face Moore when the umpire walked out to break up the meeting, continuing to speak with his hand covering his mouth. Shortly after arriving at the mound, Moore ejected Walker.The ejection was Toronto’s third of the season and the first for Walker. All three ejections have been for arguing balls and strikes.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSourcePolicía de Las Vegas hace un allanamiento en el marco de la investigación por el asesinato de Tupac Shakur en 1996

DENVER (KDVR) -- If you've ever encountered someone driving a vehicle so loud that you just know it shouldn't be legal, you might be onto something.At least in Colorado.That's because there's a law designed to reduce noise on roads by requiring mufflers.Mufflers are devices that dampen sound from internal combustion engines. What does the law say?Colorado law doesn't allow any modifications that cause "excessive or unusual noise," and you aren't allowed to install a bypass or cutoff for the muffler. The law doesn't list what decibels -- or sound levels -- are acceptable or unacceptable. However, any aftermarket mufflers can't be any louder than what originally came with the vehicle. Headed to the lake? Check for toxic algae blooms Because electric vehicles don't have mufflers, the law doesn't apply to them. But if you're caught with an aftermarket muffler that's too loud -- or if you've decided to bypass your muffler to make your car louder -- you can face a fine of up to $100.Peo...Denver's homeless compared to other cities
