Walnut Creek has a new high-end nautical speakeasy bar, complete with an extravagant orca mural and tables lit by candlelight.Luna Sea Lounge, which opened this week at 121 Pringle Ave., is a collaboration between Luna Sea Vodka founder Deven Wek and Auburn’s Kyle Wells, an Air Force pararescueman, who met at cocktail bar in Guatemala six years ago. Wek had been traveling and looking for interesting ingredients for his distillery — he’d learned the craft from his Ukrainian-born father. The two Californians spent the evening drinking vodka, playing chess and dreaming of a bar of their own.Today, Wek runs an award-winning vodka distillery in Santa Cruz, whose offerings include a color-changing vodka made with butterfly pea flowers that shifts from blue to purple in the presence of citrus. And the new bar opened this week.Luna Sea Lounge, located in Walnut Creek, opened its doors this week with craft cocktails and seafood dishes.

Ahead of Sam Bankman-Fried going on trial next week for allegedly perpetuating one of the biggest financial frauds in U.S. history, his long-esteemed Stanford law professor mother has lashed out at various entities she believes are to blame for her son’s legal troubles, as well as the destruction of her own reputation and that of her husband, Joseph Bankman.In a lengthy New Yorker profile of Bankman-Fried’s “family bubble,” the emerita professor descried the “McCarthyite” actions of the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the bankruptcy estate of FTX, her son’s failed cryptocurrency empire. She wrote about a “relentless pursuit of total destruction” in an email to New Yorker writer Sheelah Kolhatkar.This pursuit, she said, has enabled “a credulous public” and the media to “unfairly” assume that her 31-year-old son is guilty because it has failed to examine weaknesses in the government’s case, the New Yorker reporte...Alameda Sheriff's Office confirms report of kidnapping is unfounded

TORONTO (AP) — Former Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard leveraged his wealth, assets and status over several years to lure young women and girls to a top-floor bedroom suite at his company’s Toronto headquarters where he forced himself on them, prosecutors alleged Tuesday as arguments at his sexual assault trial got underway.Nygard invited all five complainants in the case — whose identities are protected by a publication ban — to visit his custom-built office building under pretenses ranging from tours to job interviews, with all the encounters ending in the bedroom suite, the prosecution said. There, he sexually assaulted them at different times, sometimes trapping or intoxicating them, the prosecution alleged in opening arguments.“Five women, it took them years to come forward. 1 Niagara St., a custom-design office building with huge letters on the front: Nygard.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Rashan Gary is making the most of his limited workload as he comes back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament.Gary has been on the field for only 26.3% of the Packers’ defensive snaps, yet his 3½ sacks put him in a tie for sixth place among all NFL players. He had a career-high three sacks while on the field for just 23 plays Sunday in an 18-17 victory over the New Orleans Saints.“Like I told the team in the locker room, the main thing is I’m just happy to go out there and go to war with you guys,” Gary said after the game. “That’s something that I truly missed over the 9 1/2 months or so that I was out.”Gary tore the ACL in his right knee last November in a 15-9 loss at Detroit. Although he returned for the start of this season, the Packers are remaining cautious in how they use him while gradually increasing his opportunities each week.He played 16.2% of the Packers’ defensive plays in a season-opening victory at Chicago...Latest news
