Opinion: Chinese students wonder if Biden can engage Xi with curiosity

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:21:00 GMT

Hopes and fears have soared in the run-up to President Biden’s sit down with China’s leader, Xi Jinpeng, set for Wednesday in San Francisco. Not since the Vietnam War has America’s diplomatic dance with the People’s Republic fractured so many toes.One ray of hope shines bright — the more than 300,000 Chinese students who attend American universities, signaling the generosity of both governments. These young scholars enliven my classroom and enrich research programs around the country. Many come away with warm affection for America: our free press and raucous debates, our music and movies, even calling professors by their first name.Still, the backdrop to the Biden-Xi summit remains ominous. In recent months, the U.S. has shot down China’s spy balloon floating across the Midwest, limited technologies exported to Beijing, and implored Xi to push his ally, Iran, to defuse the bloody Israeli-Hamas conflict. Protestors will greet Xi on his arrival to California, spotlighting ...

Before and after: Photos show destruction of World War II-era hangar by massive fire

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:21:00 GMT

The north hangar was one of two enormous twin structures at the former Tustin Marine Corps Air Station built by the military during World War II for blimp operations.  Over the years, the hangars became beloved landmarks in the community and even served as sets for the TV show “Star Trek” and the film “Pearl Harbor.”In the early hours of Nov. 7, firefighters responded to reports of a blaze at the north hangar. The cause is still under investigation.The two mostly wooden hangars – each is 17 stories tall, 1,000 feet long and 300 feet wide – were quickly built at the base to house 12 blimps to patrol the West Coast against Japanese submarines. In later years the hangars were used by helicopter squadrons until the base was shuttered.According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, which named the hangars one of the “Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks” of the 20th Century, the Tustin hangars are two of the largest wooden structures ever built, and contain the largest covered, uno...

A slow transition to winter keeps houseplants healthy

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:21:00 GMT

My mandarin orange tree and spider plants enjoyed a longer vacation than I did, having spent the entire summer outdoors on the back deck. But the party ended late last month when frost threatened. So I gave them a thorough hose drenching — leaves and all — to remove any would-be hitchhikers and poured a bit of diluted Neem oil over the soil for good measure before bringing them indoors. But their transition didn’t end there.Just as when potted plants are introduced outside in spring, they undergo an acclimation period when they come back in. The difference is that at the beginning of the season, we “harden them off,” or move them into a shady spot for incrementally longer periods each day until they adjust to the stronger sunlight and breezy air of the great outdoors. The reverse, however, is often done in haste on the weatherman’s whim, so it doesn’t usually afford the same leisurely dawdling.That’s why your recently reintroduced houseplants might be turning yellow, dro...
