What happens to the 49ers if the stars don’t come out Monday night?

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 06:31:42 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Let’s go ahead and assume the worst. Christian McCaffrey, Trent Williams and Deebo Samuel are all out for the 49ers’ Monday night road game against the Minnesota Vikings.That may not be the case. McCaffrey (oblique) was working diligently on the side Friday during practice and looking pretty nimble. Williams (shoulder) stayed hidden, while Samuel (shoulder) appeared to get some work on a side field.The best guess is that coach Kyle Shanahan proclaims all three “questionable” as the 49ers (5-1) face the Vikings (2-4), and those designations becoming official Saturday.The cold, hard fact about the NFL is it includes missing your best players from time to time, and the good news for the 49ers is none of the above injuries looks overly serious over the long haul.If any or all of the big three can’t play, the 49ers will have had a week to prepare. That was part of the problem in the Cleveland loss, with Shanahan saying the ripple effect o...

Playoff berth at stake for San Jose Earthquakes: Here are the clinching scenarios

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 06:31:42 GMT

SAN JOSE — It all comes down to this.Saturday evening at PayPal Park could mark the turnaround of a struggling franchise that hasn’t won a playoff game in 11 years. It could be the sign of a club that’s changed directions behind a new coach with a new vision.For the San Jose Earthquakes, a win in their regular-season finale against Austin FC would clinch a berth in the MLS Playoffs for the first time since 2020. A win combined with either a loss or tie from either FC Dallas or Portland, and the Earthquakes will host a playoff game at PayPal Park for the first time in the stadium’s eight-year history.“I think we’re all hungry,” said striker Jeremy Ebobisse, who has 10 goals in 33 matches. “I know it’s been a while since the Quakes have had a chance to play for a playoff position.”With MLS’ new expanded playoff format, the top seven teams in each conference earn a berth to the first round of the playoffs, which feature a best-of-three format in which the higher...

Barabak: Laphonza Butler aces first political test, passing on uphill Senate run

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 06:31:42 GMT

Laphonza Butler has been living a whirlwind these last few weeks.Overnight, she went from being a campaign strategist and behind-the-scenes operative — unknown to most, save political insiders — to a U.S. senator representing nearly 40 million residents of the most important state in the union.Even Butler was surprised Gov. Gavin Newsom tapped her to replace the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein. It was like plucking a set designer from the wings and placing her, with barely any notice, directly at center stage.Since then — as Butler learned which Capitol Hill stairways lead where, flew cross-country to meet with assorted constituencies and developed a case of COVID-19 — one overriding question trailed her: Would she run for a full term in 2024?On Thursday, she gave her answer: No.It was the right decision, and a politically astute one.By foregoing a campaign that would have been difficult to win, Butler leaves herself well-positioned for a future run if she chooses...

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 06:31:42 GMT

With every hit, tackle, and disruption, the St. Francis High defense gathered force and gained confidence.After a 24-14 victory over visiting Valley Christian on Friday night, the Lancers could savor a defensive effort that helped keep them in the West Catholic Athletic League race. Mack Mrowka’s third-quarter interception of a pass that seemed inches from becoming a Valley gamebreaker was crucial, and the Lancers (5-3 overall) moved to 4-1 in the WCAL and within range of Serra and Riordan, who take their 4-0 records into a Saturday showdown. “The most significant thing about this game was showing how good our defense really is,” said sophomore middle linebacker Shane Cahoon, who averaged 12 tackles going into the game and made his share of impact plays down the stretch. St. Francis’ head coach Greg Calcagno high fives Solomone Pifeleti (30) during the first half of a football game against Valley Christian on Friday, October 20, 2023, in Mountain View, Calif.

La guerra obligó a los ciudadanos árabes de Israel a explicar que no son Hamas

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 06:31:42 GMT

(CNN) — Cuando Aya Najame, una árabe musulmana de 20 años, era una niña que crecía en la ciudad portuaria de Haifa, en el norte de Israel, realizaba viajes de intercambio cultural a escuelas judías para aprender sobre el estilo de vida judío. Los niños judíos harían lo mismo y visitarían la escuela de Najame para conocer su vida.Los ciudadanos árabes que son residentes permanentes en Israel representan poco más del 20% de la población del país. Los aproximadamente 2 millones de personas son distintos de los palestinos que viven en la ocupada Ribera Occidental y Gaza, pero están lejos de ser un grupo uniforme.La mayoría son musulmanes, pero también hay una gran minoría árabe cristiana. Y aunque alrededor de 1,5 millones tienen ciudadanía israelí, muchos de los que viven en Jerusalén sólo tienen estatus de residencia permanente y no son ciudadanos de pleno derecho. Algunos se identifican como árabes, otros como palestinos, algunos como drusos, una secta religiosa extendida por I...
