49ers at Browns: Five keys to potential shutout win in Cleveland
Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 07:46:52 GMT
CLEVELAND – The 49ers’ quest for six wins, on a potential path to a sixth Lombardi Trophy, comes Sunday in a rare visit to the Browns’ lakefront home.This won’t offer the friendly comforts of Levi’s Stadium, site of the 49ers’ past three wins, the biggest of which came Sunday night in 42-10 fashion over the Dallas Cowboys.But the injury-plagued Browns (2-2) could be gracious and overmatched hosts, so they hope the 49ers (5-0) are poised for a letdown after their lopsided win over their storied rival.“They’re riding their high horse right now,” Browns safety Grant Delpit told Cleveland.com, “so that’s probably the best time to get them.”The 49ers are 10-point favorites, but their egos are checked. Afforded a “Victory Monday” off, the 49ers locker room vibe wasn’t abnormal once practices resumed Wednesday, and, in fact, it was a subdued setting after Thursday’s practice. “I feel like we still have left stuff out there, where we can be our best and still reach our full pote...Bedbug panic is spreading across Europe.

By Blane Bachelor | CNNDermatologist Zeina Nehme says her clinic usually sees a number of cases every summer in which patients have been bitten by bedbugs while traveling. Yet surprisingly enough, she says none materialized this year.However, like anyone else not living under a rock, Nehme has seen the flurry of headlines and social media accounts documenting the bedbug paranoia in Paris, which erupted during Fashion Week and has since spread to other cities including London.So, during her recent trip to the City of Light, Nehme decided to embark on an experiment of sorts: to see one of the troublesome critters firsthand and use it as fodder for a social media video.But Nehme, who is based in Beirut, Lebanon, says she found nary a pesky parasite during her long weekend: not on the metro, in restaurants, nor the 17th arrondissement apartment where she stayed with a friend.RELATED: Here’s how to leave bedbugs behind when you travel home: expert“Since I am a dermatologist and I p...Editorial: San Jose cops’ troubling use of force with mentally ill

Thompson “Tommy” Nguyen was undergoing a psychotic break holding an ax and a metal pipe as he walked the grounds of a San Jose power plant. He never raised his arms or overtly menaced police with the weapons. But as one officer yelled “Tase him,” another officer instead shot him dead.One of the greatest challenges Bay Area police face centers around the increasing number of interactions with the mentally impaired. For police who are trained extensively on how to establish authority and compel compliant behavior, dealing with people in mental crises often requires tapping a different skill set to avoid tragic consequences.Unfortunately, San Jose police continue to fall back on their instinct to use force rather than looking for ways to deescalate confrontations.In 2017, San Jose became the first big-city police department in the country to mandate crisis-intervention training for its officers. The training was a condition of the city’s legal settlement with the family of a 19-year-ol...Gov. Newsom signs bill to help sustain outdoor dining

In an effort to keep the al fresco momentum going, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a new law this week that will allow much of the outdoor and patio dining launched during the pandemic to continue across the state.Assembly Bill 1217, which was authored by Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel (D-Encino) and is a predecessor of Gabriel’s AB 61, supersedes city and county ordinances that might restrict outdoor dining or impose additional fees. It will also allow for continued flexibility when it comes to outdoor dining approvals, including streamlining application processes and waiving some fees.In 2020, programs like LA Al Fresco and San Francisco’s Shared Spaces allowed restaurants to serve diners without having to wade through the typical byzantine processes required. Most notably, Laguna Beach’s pedestrian-only promenade on Forest Avenue, which was created in June 2020 to help local businesses affected by COVID-19 restrictions, has since turned into a nearly-permanent fixture.As life returned to ...3 teens arrested in attack on California college security guard, with 1 accused of swinging ax

Police arrested three people for what they said was an unprovoked attack on a Fullerton College security guard early on Friday, Oct. 13, with one of the teens pulling out an ax and swinging it at several guards who arrived to help.The 53-year-old guard was patrolling the campus early Friday morning when he found the trio — two 18-year-olds and a 17-year-old — on a bench in the college’s central quad.The guard believed one of them was suffering a medical emergency, said Kai Stearns, a spokeswoman for the North Orange County Community College District.But when he approached to help, Fullerton police said in a statement, they “immediately began to attack him.”The group punched and kicked the guard, stomped on his head, and attempted to gouge his eye, police said. During the attack, the guard was able to radio for help.When more security guards arrived, one of the teenagers pulled the ax from his backpack, swinging it at the guards but not hitting them, police said.The guards subdued on...DC Mayor Bowser taps former Biden appointee to lead office held by ex-aide Falcicchio

PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — A judge turned down a request by two parents to leave jail and attend the sentencing of their son who killed four students at Michigan’s Oxford High School.Judge Cheryl Matthews filed the one-page order Friday, according to online case entries in Oakland County court.Ethan Crumbley, 17, could be sentenced to life in prison on Dec. 8. James and Jennifer Crumbley, who are charged with involuntary manslaughter, have had no contact with their son for nearly two years, though all three are being held at a suburban Detroit jail.“Understandably, this hearing is of paramount importance, and would be to any parent, no matter what their child has done,” defense lawyers Shannon Smith and Mariell Lehman said in a court filing Thursday.Prosecutors were opposed to having the Crumbley parents in court, saying their presence would be a distraction, especially for victims who plan to speak at the sentencing, the Detroit Free Press reported.The Crumbleys instead could be a...1 shot after gunfire erupts in Fort Lauderdale neighborhood overnight

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 07:46:52 GMT
Happy Saturday, South Florida!Hopefully everyone had a great week despite the muggy conditions we experienced each day. Not much has changed across South Florida through the last couple of days except that temperatures have gotten warmer with each passing afternoon. Areas of South Florida experienced record heat for a few days in a row. This applies to Broward County, Miami-Dade and the Florida Keys where some either tied or set new record high temperatures. This morning we woke up to temperatures on the warm side once again in the 80s while mostly cloudy skies and soggy conditions for some. And worth mentioning, the Rainy Season officially ends tomorrow (October 15th) so it seems fitting that South Florida sees rain & thunderstorms in the final days. A weak front has remained stalled just to the north of our area, which has kept South Florida on the warm and muggy side for a couple of days now. In addition, an area of high pressure to the south of our area has kept our wind pa...The Future of Pro-Israel Politics is at Stake in Gaza

n November of 2022, the pollster Mark Mellman gathered a group of pro-Israel Democrats to pick over the results of the recent Israeli election. The voters had put Benjamin Netanyahu back into power in a coalition with extremist leaders, including one convicted of supporting a terror group and another who has railed against LGBTQ people and called for ethnic segregation in maternity wards.For moderate and liberal supporters of Israel, it was a bleak moment.Mellman, a veteran Democratic strategist who has worked extensively in Israeli politics, did not sugarcoat the results. The advocacy group he leads, Democratic Majority for Israel, had denounced the Israeli far right during the election as unfit to govern. Still, Mellman stressed to the collection of allies and donors that they should be wary of an open breach: American disagreements with Israeli leaders, he said, were better handled behind closed doors so that they could not be exploited by provocateurs in both countries.It was no...Latest news
