Q: I taught my daughter to drive by going to a nearby cemetery. There are almost no other active cars there, and it is a good place to practice stops and starts, parking, backing up, tight turns, etc. Besides, it is highly unlikely you’re going to injure anyone, and no one complains about the noise.Norman Smith, Daly CityA: It certainly would have been a quiet place to learn to drive.Q: My husband, who is 90, has vision and balance problems. He recently renewed his driver’s license. He passed the written test, but when he was taking the visual part, he was struggling a bit, and the employee simply said it was OK and moved him along. When it came to the driving test, he also was excused from taking it.I was counting on the DMV to screen older people more closely, not less so. I would like to write a letter to the DMV, or whomever you might suggest should hear from me, and I wonder if you can give me some guidance about this.Joan SullivanA: Contact the DMV via the departmentR...Why the independent Oakland Police Commission may be coming apart at the seams

OAKLAND — Once hailed as the city’s best option for holding police accountable, the volunteer-led Oakland Police Commission has become mired in dysfunction, with its soon-to-be former chair suggesting in a new lawsuit that she has been unfairly targeted by power-hungry external forces.A tangle of accusations has driven the independent commission — which holds the power to fire and help hire the Oakland police chief — into a political divide, with messy battle lines that have been further entrenched by recent events. With the chair’s ouster, and her lawsuit, new questions surround the commission at a crucial moment when it is leading the search for final candidates to replace former Chief LeRonne Armstrong, who was fired in February.The commission’s chair, Tyfahra Milele, likely will soon be out of her job after receiving zero votes late last week from a nine-member city panel that selects commissioners and decides whether to reappoint existing one...Trump claims he is target in 2020 presidential election investigation

(CNN) — Estados Unidos y Europa tienen dificultades para suministrar a Ucrania la gran cantidad de munición que necesitará para una contraofensiva prolongada contra Rusia, y los funcionarios occidentales se apresuran a aumentar la producción para evitar una escasez en el campo de batalla que podría obstaculizar el progreso de Ucrania.El escaso suministro de munición de artillería sirvió de llamada de atención a la OTAN, según declararon funcionarios estadounidenses y occidentales a CNN, ya que la alianza no se preparó adecuadamente para la posibilidad de una guerra terrestre prolongada en Europa tras décadas de relativa paz.El secretario de Defensa del Reino Unido, Ben Wallace, declaró a CNN la semana pasada que, aunque la OTAN estaba preparada desde el principio para una ofensiva de “noche uno, día uno”, “nadie se había planteado realmente la pregunta, bueno, ¿y si “día uno, noche uno” se convierte en “semana dos, semana tres, semana cuatro...WNBA first-time All Star Aliyah Boston front-runner for rookie of the year honors

Aliyah Boston just wanted to fit in as a WNBA rookie.She has, and more. The first-time All Star’s historic season has made her the front-runner for rookie of the year honors and infused renewed hope for the Indiana Fever franchise.The organization’s league record-tying 20 game losing streak ended in May and Indiana already has matched last season’s victory total (five). Two more wins would give the Fever their highest single-season total since 2019. And maybe some second-half magic will finally put Indiana in the playoffs for the first time since 2016.With Boston, anything seems possible.“I knew she was special, but she’s exceeded it,” first-year coach Christy Sides said. “You just don’t know until you get into this league how you’re going to respond. It’s the different levels, size, speed, quickness, strength — she hadn’t faced that night in and night out. She takes everything in, she talks to every coach, she watches video with every...Trump says he’s received Justice Department letter saying he’s a ‘target’ of probe into efforts to undo 2020 election
