Julia Wick | (TNS) Los Angeles Times As California politicos look ahead to 2025, the biggest question looming is whether Vice President Kamala Harris — a native daughter, battered just weeks ago by presidential election defeat — will enter the 2026 California governor’s race.

But if Harris does ultimately run — and that’s a massive if — her entrée would seismically reshape the already crowded race for California’s highest office. Recent polling suggests Harris would have a major advantage, with 46% of likely voters saying they were somewhat or very likely to support her for governor in 2026, according to a UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies survey co-sponsored by The Times. “If Vice President Harris were to choose to run, I am certain that that would have a near field-clearing effect on the Democratic side,” Rep. Katie Porter, D-Irvine, said during a recent UC Irvine panel interview . Porter, a high-profile Democrat who has been eyeing the wide-open governor’s race, has yet to say whether she plans to run. Porter’s point was broadly echoed in conversations with nearly a dozen California political operatives and strategists, several of whom requested anonymity to speak candidly. Most speculated that a Harris entry would cause some other candidates in the race to scatter, creating further upheaval in down-ballot races as a roster of ambitious politicians scramble for other opportunities. “In politics, you always let the big dogs eat first,” quipped Democratic political consultant Peter Ragone. The current gubernatorial field is a who’s who of California politicians, but lacks a clear favorite or star with widespread name recognition. The vast majority of California’s 22 million voters have yet to pay attention to the race and have little familiarity with the candidates. The list of Democratic candidates includes Los Angeles’ first Latino mayor in more than a century ( Antonio Villaraigosa ); the first female and first out LGBTQ leader of the state Senate ( Toni Atkins ); the sitting lieutenant governor and first woman to hold that post ( Eleni Kounalakis ); the state superintendent of public instruction ( Tony Thurmond ) and the former state controller ( Betty Yee ). Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is serving his second term as California governor, meaning he is ineligible to run again. Several other Democrats, including Porter, outgoing Health and Human Services Director Xavier Becerra and state Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta have also publicly toyed with the idea of a run. They could be less likely to enter the fray should Harris decide to run. What the billionaire mall mogul Rick Caruso — who has also been exploring a run — would choose to do is an open question, as Caruso might contrast himself with Harris as a more centrist candidate. The real estate developer was a registered Republican until November 2019. It’s unlikely that Harris will proffer a public decision in the immediate term, leaving plenty of time for political insiders to game out hypotheticals in the weeks and months to come. Harris’ office did not respond to a request for comment. “I think every candidate for governor is trying to get some kind of intel,” Mike Trujillo, a Los Angeles-based Democratic political consultant and former Villaraigosa staffer, said of a potential Harris run. Trujillo speculated that Harris’ current state was probably similar to Hillary Clinton’s hiking sojourns in the Chappaqua woods after losing to Donald Trump in 2016, or Al Gore growing a beard in the bruising aftermath of his 2000 defeat. “The first thing she’s probably thinking about is, ‘Well, can I run again for president in four years?’ Not, ‘Do I run for governor in two years?’” said one political operative who’s worked with Harris in the past. Harris maintains a home in Brentwood and previously served as California’s senator and attorney general. A successful run for governor in 2026 would almost certainly impede a grab for the presidency in 2028. (Though if history is any guide, an unsuccessful run for California governor does not definitively preclude a bid for the Oval Office: Two years after losing the White House to John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon lost the 1962 contest for governor to Pat Brown . The Yorba Linda native became the nation’s 37th president in 1969.) As the chief executive of a state that doubles as the world’s fifth-largest economy, Harris would have more power to steer policy and make changes as a California governor than she did as vice president, where her job required deference to President Biden. But leading a state, even the nation’s most populous, could feel like small potatoes after being a heartbeat (and a few dozen electoral votes) from the presidency. The protracted slog to November 2026 would also be a stark contrast to her ill-fated 107-day sprint toward the White House, particularly for a candidate whose 2020 presidential primary campaign was dogged by allegations of infighting and mismanagement. “I don’t think Kamala Harris has a deep psychological need to be governor of California, or to be in elective office in order to feel like she can contribute to society,” said the operative who’s worked with Harris in the past. “I think some of these people do, but she’s somebody who has enough prominence that she could do a lot of big, wonderful things without having to worry about balancing California’s budget or negotiating with Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel,” the Encino Democrat who chairs the Assembly’s budget committee. Technically, Harris has until March 2026 to decide whether she enters a race. But political strategists who spoke to The Times theorized that she probably would make a move by late spring, if she chooses to do so. “People will be more annoyed if she drops in in June,” a Democratic strategist involved with one of the gubernatorial campaigns said. Sending a clear signal by February would be more “courteous,” the strategist continued, explaining that such a move would give candidates more time to potentially enter other races. Kounalakis is a longtime friend and ally of Harris’ , and the vice president also has long-term relationships with some of the other candidates and potential candidates. California has eight statewide elected offices and campaign finance laws allow candidates to fundraise interchangeably for them, meaning money already raised for a candidate’s gubernatorial campaign could easily be redirected should they decide to run for, say, lieutenant governor instead. There are already a number of candidates running for lieutenant governor, including former Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs, former state Sen. Steven Bradford and former state Treasurer Fiona Ma. But that office probably would see even more interest should Harris enter the gubernatorial race. It’s a largely ceremonial position, but one that has served as a launching pad for the governorship. Still, even if Harris does enter the race, Republican political strategist Mike Murphy threw cold water on the idea that she would have an automatic glide path to the governor’s office. “It’s like Hollywood. Nobody knows anything. She’s famous enough to look credible in early polling. That’s all we know for sure,” Murphy said. “Does that predict the future? No. Are there a lot of downsides (to a potential Harris candidacy)? Totally, yes.” ©2024 Los Angeles Times. Visit latimes.com. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.wow.888 。

Roivios Initiates Landmark Study to Demonstrate Safety and Efficacy of an Innovative Renal Assist Device for Cardiac Surgery Patients With Kidney Disease NASSAU, Bahamas , Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Roivios , a pioneering clinical-stage medical device company dedicated to revolutionizing kidney health, proudly announces that its research and development arm, 3ive Labs, has secured approval for an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) from the FDA. This approval paves the way for a pivotal trial of the JuxtaFlow Renal Assist Device (RAD), marking a transformative step forward in enhancing outcomes for cardiac surgery patients with renal insufficiency. The GRADIENT ( G roundbreaking R enal A ssist D evice I ntervening to EN hance cardio T horacic surgery outcomes) trial is designed to address the critical need for renal support among cardiac surgery patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). These patients often face increased risks of postoperative complications, such as worsening renal dysfunction, which can lead to extended ICU stays and increased mortality. "The GRADIENT Trial offers an invaluable opportunity to further explore renal support during cardiac surgery," said Dr. Evelio Rodriguez , a renowned heart surgeon at Ascension Saint Thomas in Nashville, TN , and the National Principal Investigator of the GRADIENT trial. "The JuxtaFlow device offers new hope for some of our most vulnerable patients." JuxtaFlow RAD is an innovative device designed to potentially improve kidney function during times of acute stress. By applying a gentle suction to the kidney's outlet, it aims to enhance blood filtration more efficiently. This groundbreaking approach was recognized with an FDA Breakthrough Device Designation in April. The GRADIENT study will be a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label trial that plans to enroll patients with renal insufficiency (eGFR 15-60 ml/min) undergoing elective or urgent cardiac surgery requiring CPB. The study seeks to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the JuxtaFlow RAD to sustain or enhance renal function during and following CPB surgery. "Achieving Breakthrough Device Designation was instrumental in securing IDE approval," noted John Erbey , Chief Executive Officer at Roivios. "This initiative is the culmination of a decade of technological and clinical advancements in addressing kidney disease management challenges. Our ongoing dialogue with the FDA is paving the way for more effective management, empowering patients to thrive. We are eager to commence IDE enrollment and explore the JuxtaFlow RAD's potential to improve surgical outcomes and enhance patient quality of life."

About JuxtaFlow RAD The JuxtaFlow RAD is a pioneering investigational device set to transform kidney support therapy. Acknowledging the harmful effects of fluid accumulation and pressure on the kidneys, Roivios has advanced beyond traditional blood filtration methods that can further stress the kidneys. By applying mild, controlled negative pressure within the kidney's collecting system, the device has the potential to maintain and improve filtration and support recovery. This novel approach holds promise for a compelling value proposition by preserving kidney function and expediting patient recovery, ultimately reducing hospital stays and associated costs. Equipped with a proprietary specialized catheters and pump, the device optimizes kidney function during critical recovery periods, such as post-surgery.

NoneIT'S HARD not to imagine what life would be like in a warmer country, once the British winter fully gets going. Having moved from London to Lisbon in 2020, I can guarantee you there are plenty of headaches while you find your 'Place In The Sun.' 5 Travel writer Lauren Clark moved to Portugal in the summer of 2020 Credit: Getty 5 Lauren shares some of the biggest headaches that have accompanied moving abroad Credit: Lauren Clark While I have been able to bask in exotic Portugal with no impending checkout date, it's also certainly not one big, long holiday... Here are some of the things I wish I'd known before I booked my one-way ticket... There are some dull things you have to do first In fact, it's a far cry from Emily In Paris - which first came out just months after I moved. It's not just a case of stepping on a plane and being on your merry way, and visas for some countries can be complex and expensive to get hold of. Read More On More Abroad PORTU-GIRL I'm a British expat - here's how living in Europe has changed me for the better BRIT AWARDS I've lived abroad for 4 years - here are 5 things I miss about living in the UK Obviously, there are many aspects of moving abroad that will vary depending on your own personal situation. For instance, I have rented rather than bought, and work as a freelancer rather than being employed by a company. Additionally, some of the lesser-known bits of admin hinge on the fact that your extended period away from the UK probably means you are no longer a taxpayer. That involves letting Student Loans Company know of your new whereabouts, informing HMRC and deregistering from the NHS .

It really shouldn't be a spur-of-the-moment decision Because, in turn - and I promise moving abroad does get less boring - you'll need to set yourself up on the other side too, likely with everything from the tax to the healthcare systems. It's why properly moving abroad - as opposed to going travelling for a while - really does force you to commit, if you want to do it all properly. If your language skills aren't quite there yet, then you'll almost certainly save stress and money in the long run by paying a local expert, such as a lawyer or accountant, for some extra help. You'll likely be ticking off these small milestones on your own individual timeline - unless you've relocated with a partner or family. For instance, I remember celebrating solo when I finally received my Portuguese social security and national health numbers. 5 A load of paperwork comes with setting yourself up in a new home country Credit: Getty However, it’s far easier to make friends than you think The above is a reminder that moving abroad can feel lonely at the start and I had a real fear I'd make no friends. But I soon discovered that it's far easier to find new pals than you might think, when you start putting yourself out there. Portuguese lessons, the MeetUp app, a co-working space and friends of friends - these are the main ways I've been able to build a lovely network in Lisbon over the past four years. There are other ways, less relevant to me, that others I know have used to find their people after moving abroad - including through having kids at nursery or school, joining a run club or working locally. And, because everyone - at least in the expat crowd - knows how it feels to be the newbie far from home, people tend to happily take you under their wing. That being said, chores and errands will take twice as long Imagine being an adult but with the life skills of a five-year-old - that’s how it feels when you're trying to get things done that you could practically do in your sleep back home. For me, that was things like remembering to take my ID to the post office, or finding out that I needed to drop the recycling - already separated into paper and plastics - off half-way down the hill. Also, that I needed to file my tax return at an entirely different time of year, or that buying a new smoke alarm would prove such a mission - it turns out they're like gold dust in the Portuguese capital . You'll slowly begin to get the hang of everything, and then lesson number 383 of 'how to be an adult in Portugal' strikes and you'll end up in tears again. 5 You'll need to get to grips with the way things run - and the whole world might seem topsy turvy Credit: Getty You’ll need to get your stuff there (and probably back) This can add up in cost if you're not careful, particularly if you're using a shipping company to move over things like furniture or heavy items like books. I was pretty proud that I'd managed to head out to Lisbon with just a large suitcase and two boxes, as extra hold luggage on my EasyJet flight. However, it was shocking how quickly I accumulated items - like hangers and toiletries - when moving between flats on AirBnb, before finally settling in a long-term let. Of course, some people move abroad for the rest of their lives, but the chances are that you might relocate elsewhere one day - or back to the UK - and it has made me think twice before stocking up on too many Portuguese ceramics. What's for sure is that it will be the best thing you ever do Growing up, my idea of moving abroad was shaped by those families in A Place In The Sun or Grand Designs Abroad , who had sunk a small fortune into a quaint farmhouse in France and had to wade through hellish bureaucracy. While it can certainly be stressful - like the time I lost my residence permit card and it took me five months to get another - it's a journey that has pushed me out of my comfort zone and forced me to be resourceful. What's more, I've made the most amazing memories - exploring Portugal without having to set foot on a plane and getting to authentically experience an entirely different culture.

Three things Lauren misses about the UK Packaged sandwiches There is nothing quite like a egg mayo or tuna and cucumber sarnie from the country of its birth. I hadn’t realised until I left that it’s the perfect fast lunch - quickly purchased, smoothly transported and easily consumed pretty much anywhere. Public transport We love to moan about the price... the delays... the strikes, but we also forget quite how much the car reigns supreme in other countries . I’ve had to get accustomed again to faffing around with a physical ticket instead of contactless for the metro, and waiting for the bus is a bit of a gamble. Plus, there are amazing parts of Portugal cut off pretty much entirely unless you’re happy to get behind the wheel. Proper puddings Portugal is home to the world-renowned pastel de nata, but in my opinion there is something second to none about British desserts. Who can resist a sticky toffee pudding, apple crumble or chocolate sponge when spotted on a pub menu. 5 But while it will push you out of your comfort zone, Lauren says she can guarantee you won't look back Credit: Getty

Angi Inc. (NASDAQ:ANGI) Receives Consensus Recommendation of “Hold” from AnalystsIt might seem like air fryers have been around forever, but this clever cooking invention didn’t actually hit the market for the first time until 2010, when Dutch multinational Phillips debuted the first-ever model in Berlin, Germany. Fast-forward more than a decade, and air fryers are in kitchens all over the world. Jump to the air fryers In 2022, the market was worth more than $897 million, and by 2030, it’s expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 11.2 percent. It’s no surprise that air fryers are popular; they can cook food quickly and efficiently, and they don’t need anywhere near as much oil as a deep fryer. But which ones are the best? Here’s what you need to know. What is an air fryer and how does it work? Air fryers work by circulating hot air around food in order to cook it. This is in contrast to a deep fryer, which cooks food by heating large amounts of oil to high temperatures. Air fryers can still help to give foods that tasty crispy layer, but the resulting dish is usually much healthier because the fat content is lower. That said, it’s important to note that air-fried food is still fried food. However, she adds that the “real driver” of healthy food is still the type of food you’re putting in the air fryer. It’s not going to make French fries good for you, for example. But Rissetto notes that nutrient-dense foods “are generally just as nutritious in the air fryer as in the oven.” What vegan foods can you cook in an air fryer? As well as convenience foods like French fries, nuggets, and vegan sausages, you can cook plenty of vegetables in the air-fryer. Cauliflower wings are a particularly good example, and air fryers will also help to crisp up ingredients like sweet potatoes, tofu, and falafel. Canva For more inspiration on the type of foods to cook in the air fryer, find our guide here . We also love this recipe for spicy air-fried buffalo tofu poppers and this recipe for crispy air-fryer wontons.

Kobe Sanders scores 27 points, Nevada never trails in 90-78 win over Oklahoma StateContollo's Success at CodeLaunch 2024 - Showcasing Concept to Market MethodologyPrime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday highlighted the impact of Indian diaspora in the Caribbean nation of Guyana and said that 'a Mini India' also exists in Guyana, where people of Indian origin have become leaders in politics, business, education, and culture. The remarks by PM Modi came during the 116th episode of 'Mann Ki Baat' and following his official state visit to Guyana. He said, "A 'Mini India' also exists in Guyana, thousands of kilometres away from India. About 180 years ago, people from India were taken to Guyana to work as labourers in the fields and for other work. Today, people of Indian origin in Guyana are leading Guyana in every field of politics, business, education and culture. The President of Guyana, Dr. Irfan Ali, is also of Indian origin and is proud of his Indian heritage." He added, "Like Guyana, there are millions of Indians in dozens of countries across the world. Their ancestors from decades past, 200-300 years ago, have their own stories..." PM Modi further spoke about a project in Oman and said that numerous Indian families who have lived in Oman for centuries are having their history preserved. With the support of the Indian Embassy in Oman and the National Archives of India, a team is working to safeguard the history of these families, collecting documents, with some dating back to 1838.

Numerous Indian families have been living in Oman for many centuries. Most of them who have settled there are from Kutch in Gujarat. These people had created important links of trade. With the support of the Indian Embassy in Oman and the National Archives of India, a team has started the work of preserving the history of these families," PM Modi said. He added, "Thousands of documents have been collected so far under this campaign. These include diaries, account books, ledgers, letters and telegrams. Some of these documents are also from the year 1838. These documents are full of emotions. When they arrived in Oman years ago, what kind of life they led, what kind of joys and sorrows they faced, and how their relations with the people of Oman progressed - all this is part of these documents." PM Modi also highlighted an effort in Slovakia aimed at preserving and promoting Indian culture and said that for the first time, the Upanishads, ancient Indian texts, have been translated into the Slovak language. He said, "I have come to know about another such effort being done in Slovakia which is related to preserving and promoting our culture. Here, for the first time, our Upanishads have been translated into the Slovak language. These efforts also show the global influence of Indian culture. It is a matter of pride for all of us that there are crores of people around the world who have India in their hearts." Notably, PM Modi was on an official visit to Guyana from November 20 to 22. He became the first Indian Prime Minister to visit the nation in 56 years. India and Guyana signed 10 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the country, covering areas such as culture, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and the deployment of UPI in the Caribbean nation. During the visit, PM Modi and Guyana President Ali planted a sapling under the 'Ek Ped Ma Ke Naam' initiative. India also extended credit facilities to Guyana for mutually agreed fields such as agriculture and information technology. Indian companies have shown interest in sectors such as biofuels, energy, minerals, and pharmaceuticals. While bilateral trade turnover remains modest, the trend is positive and promising.
