Keeler: The best way for Anthony Davis, Lakers to slow down Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic? Kidnapping might actually be it.

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 16:49:50 GMT

Darvin Ham waxed poetic about Nikola Jokic Monday the way Broncos scribes yap about Patrick Mahomes.You gush. You glorify. You genuflect. You joke about committing a felony to try and keep a legend from showing up. Then, the more you think about it in real time, the better idea said felony becomes.“(We’re going to) try to catch him coming out of his house and kidnap him,” the Lakers coach cracked at Ball Arena when asked about defending the Nuggets’ star center.Ham’s grin said he was kidding. We think.“No, I mean, obviously, everyone knows how great he is,” the Lakers coach continued. “And you just have to mix up pitches … but we have a few different guys that will see action against him and just try to put your best foot forward every time out.”You laugh, but kidnapping might be the best card the Lake Show can play against the Joker. Tinseltown’s glorious 2020 supervillain, Dwight Howard, is 7,000 miles away in Taiwan at present, playing for the Taoyuan Leopards when he’s not busy ...

Are bears really a threat to humans in California?

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 16:49:50 GMT

It has been 100 years since the California grizzly bear, the symbol that adorns the state flag, was hunted to extinction in the Golden State. Today, you will only find them in zoos and animal sanctuaries.However, where one bear species has disappeared, another has surged in population in recent decades.In the early 1980s, the number of wild black bears in California, the smallest of North America’s three bear species, was estimated to be 10,000 to 15,000. Today, the population has grown to somewhere between 30,000 and 40,000, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.Despite their variance in color -some are cinnamon or light brown- and wide range in sizes and weight, they are all considered black bears. It is also the only kind of bear you will find in the wild in California.A bear in Monrovia walks near a KTLA 5 News van on Feb. 21, 2020.

With 3 HR in 5 games, this is how SF Giants’ Michael Conforto found his swing

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 16:49:50 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Every day, Michael Conforto steps into the batting cage and assumes his position some 40 feet or so in front of hitting coach Justin Viele, who sets up behind an “L” screen. Conforto takes some left-handed cuts, then shuffles a few feet closer. Viele fires more practice pitches; Conforto further closes the gap.It’s all about timing, Conforto explained.“You move closer and closer and closer,” Conforto said, “and you have to get (your swing) started super early.”The pregame drills seem to be working.After missing out on Aaron Judge and balking at Carlos Correa, the Giants signed Conforto as part of a two-pronged backup plan, along with fellow outfielder Mitch Haniger (who was brought in a month earlier, before Judge or Correa made their decisions). But early on in their Giants tenures, Conforto and Haniger have performed more like consolation prizes than marquee additions to the lineup.In the past week, though, Conforto has beg...

(KRON) -- A civil law enforcement action against CVS Pharmacy for selling expired over-the-counter drugs and baby formula has been settled, according to the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office.

Groups demand officials share information on Texas mall gunman’s motives

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 16:49:50 GMT

DALLAS (AP) — Members of several Texas groups representing people of color on Monday demanded that authorities quickly acknowledge whether they believe the neo-Nazi who killed eight people at a Dallas-area mall over a week ago was racially motivated in choosing his victims.More than a week after the May 6 attack at the Allen Premium Outlets, authorities haven’t released a motive for the attack, and a Texas Department of Public Safety official has said it appeared that 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia targeted the location rather than a specific group of people. But Lily Trieu, interim executive director of Asian Texans for Justice, said at a news conference that many community members who contacted her felt that assessment was “outrageous.”The victims — who include three members of a Korean American family and an engineer from India — represented a cross-section of the increasingly diverse Dallas suburbs.“You can’t separate location from the people who live there, and what Allen is...
