SANTA CLARA – Sunday night’s stage offered up the 49ers’ greatest regular-season win in Levi’s Stadium’s 10-year history, a 42-10 thrashing of the forever-rival Dallas Cowboys.Prisoner of the moment? Perhaps. But this certainly was the 49ers’ most dominant victory in their 5-0 start to this season, and while it came in the NFL’s showcase timeslot, it also attracted franchise legends such as Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Frank Gore, and Bryant Young.“Let’s go!” tight end George Kittle shouted to the capacity crowd via the stadium’s giant video screens, after scoring one of his career-high three touchdown catches from Brock Purdy’s on-the-mark passes.Purdy finished with a career-high four touchdown passes, Christian McCaffrey chimed in with his 14th consecutive game with a touchdown (1-yard run), and, in representing the 49ers’ menacing defense, Fred Warner produced a sack, a forced fumble, and an interception.“That was our best c...49ers-Cowboys live blog: Niners rout Dallas in Sunday night showcase

DENVER, CO (KDVR) – An iconic Denver business closed its doors for the last time on Sunday.The Triangle Bar has stood at 2036 N. Broadway since 1973 and has become known as a safe space for Colorado’s gay community. Record increase, record number of homeless in Denver metro “This is so hard, we have an amazing community that’s supported us for so long and it’s just very difficult,” owner Scott Coors told FOX31.The bar drew loyal customers of all orientations and backgrounds and has been slowly recovering since being affected by the pandemic. Coors said that progress was being disrupted by Denver’s homeless problem.“We’ve had a very concentrated percentage of homeless behind our bar and our customers are afraid to walk from the car to the bar,” Coors said.Coors conducted a survey of customers and found that more than 60% say they will no longer frequent the club due to the presence of nearby encampments.“Our business has dropped off like crazy,” he said.A farewell event held Sunday...Director takes ‘Totally Killer’ slasher horror in new directions
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 14:11:25 GMT
When director Nahnatchka Khan opened the “Totally Killer” script Blumhouse Productions had sent, there was a surprise.“Usually when Jason Blum sent a script to me, there’s a synopsis page,” Khan, 50, began in a Zoom interview. “There was nothing like that so I just started reading. Because it was Blumhouse I knew some slasher horror element was coming but I had no idea what the story was and immediately I was hooked.“Because it’s a real challenge — and that what I was looking for.”Challenge doesn’t quite suggest the balancing act necessary for this comedic time traveling slasher movie murder mystery to fly.It begins in the present day, with rebellious Jamie (Kiernan Shipka) and her over-protective mother (Julie Bowen) who remains traumatized 35 years later by the Sweet 16 Killer who stabbed each of her three 16-year-old friends 16 times.When on Halloween, the masked killer strikes again, what else can Jamie do but jump into her best friend’s secret time machine an...Editorial: Now Biden takes aim at for-profit colleges

Progressives have a deep mistrust of the private economy and profit, which explains the Biden administration’s decision to relaunch an assault on certain college programs that critics argue don’t deliver for students.The Department of Education announced that it would publish a new regulation on Oct. 10 intended to punish colleges whose graduates have either large debt loads in relation to their salaries or earn less than the average high school graduate in their state of residence. The Barack Obama White House pushed a similar effort in 2014, which the Trump administration later reversed.The new rule is supposed to hold schools accountable for their performance.There’s nothing wrong with providing taxpayers, students and potential enrollees with pertinent data on graduation rates, costs, job placements, etc. This can help students make decisions and schools better meet the demands of the marketplace.Yet the bulk of the regulations apply only to for-profit schools, not traditional f...Coyle, Harris & Racoosin: Building strong communities starts in Boston

If you visit the Boston metro area, you’ll notice benches strategically placed around town with a simple message: “Sit here if you don’t mind chatting with someone new.” These “Happy to Chat” benches are part of a community-based initiative to encourage residents to get to know their neighbors and socially connect. It is a common occurrence to see individuals pause from their morning stroll to sit on one of the benches and strike up a conversation with another resident. The “Happy to Chat” benches are just one of a myriad of actions that local leaders and organizations are taking to proactively address rising levels of social isolation and loneliness in their communities. Coordinated initiatives at the local level like this can derive large rewards.It is no secret that we are facing a crisis of connection in the United States. In May, the U.S. Surgeon General released an advisory shedding light on the profound consequences of social is...Dear Abby: 48-year-old lives like teen on dad’s dime

Dear Abby: My wife and I have been married since 1968. The last time we were intimate was in 1984. The house is in both of our names. Nine years ago, she asked one of our sons to come live with us. She never asked me how I felt about it.Our son continues to live here, and he pays no rent or anything else toward our living expenses. He literally lives the life of a teenage boy, although he’s almost 48. I pay all the household bills. He has a job and makes more than I do (my pension).I do not want a boarder in my home, but I can hardly evict him. Our other four children are all successful, own their own homes and live the lives of responsible adults. Do I need a lawyer, or perhaps a backbone? — Over It in OhioDear Over It: You may need both. Although it’s late, consider also engaging the services of a licensed marriage and family therapist.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel intensified its bombardments of the Gaza Strip on Monday after declaring war and vowing to destroy the “military and governing capabilities” of the enclave’s Hamas rulers, as Israeli soldiers fought to dislodge Gaza gunmen from areas of southern Israel.At least 700 people have reportedly been killed in Israel — a staggering toll on a scale the country has not experienced in decades — and more than 400 have been killed in Gaza. Palestinian militant groups claimed to be holding over 130 captives from the Israeli side. More than 48 hours after Hamas launched its unprecedented incursion out of Gaza, Israeli forces were still battling with militants holed up in several locations.Israel said it brought in special forces to try to wrest control of four Israeli sites from Hamas fighters, including two kibbutzim that militants entered earlier in their attacks. Footage released by Israeli police from one area showed forces kneeling in tall grass as they exchanged...What went wrong? Questions emerge over Israel’s intelligence prowess after Hamas attack

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — For Palestinians in Gaza, Israel’s eyes are never very far away. Surveillance drones buzz constantly from the skies. The highly-secured border is awash with security cameras and soldiers on guard. Intelligence agencies work sources and cyber capabilities to draw out a bevy of information.But Israel’s eyes appeared to have been closed in the lead-up to an unprecedented onslaught by the militant Hamas group, which broke down Israeli border barriers and sent hundreds of militants into Israel to carry out a brazen attack that has killed hundreds and pushed the region toward conflict.Israel’s intelligence agencies have gained an aura of invincibility over the decades because of a string of achievements. Israel has foiled plots seeded in the West Bank, allegedly hunted down Hamas operatives in Dubai and has been accused of killing Iranian nuclear scientists in the heart of Iran. Even when their efforts have stumbled, agencies like the Mossad, Shin Bet and military ...How third-party and independent candidates could threaten Democrats and Republicans in 2024

NEW YORK (AP) — Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist and scion of the storied Democratic dynasty, is expected to launch an independent or third-party presidential bid on Monday. Cornel West, a philosopher and Black social leader, made the same choice last week. And No Labels, a new political party, is intensifying candidate recruitment efforts.While the politics are murky, the fresh frenzy of outsider candidates threatens to weaken both major parties as President Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump tighten their grip on their party’s presidential nominations.There’s little concern that the independent or third-party candidates would actually win the presidency, but they could siphon support from the ultimate Democratic and Republican nominees. A heightened sense of concern is spreading especially among Democratic officials, who see the outsiders as a dangerous wildcard that harkens back to 2016, when Green Party nominee Jill Stein may have enabled Trump’s raz...Latest news
