HAZELWOOD, Mo. – A citizens group successfully took over the Robertson Fire Protection District in Hazelwood, saying they’d provide the city with financial relief. But it’s unclear when Hazelwood will actually get that break.“Well, as of right now, until we have achieved a chance to go through all of our finances and see everything that needs to be repaired, all the equipment in the vehicles that needs to be updated, we don’t really have the money at the moment to cut for Hazelwood,” Jennifer Guyton, the fire district’s new president, said.

SAN JOSE – The Sharks scored three goals on their first six shots of the preseason and earned a 5-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday at SAP Center.Defenseman Henry Thrun had three points in the first period, including a goal just 24 seconds in as his wrist shot from just inside the blue line got past Golden Knights goalie Jiri Patera.Thrun also assisted on Tomas Hertl’s goal at the 9:03 mark of the first period and scored on another shot from the point on a power play with 40 seconds left before intermission, helping the Sharks win their exhibition season opener before an announced crowd of 9,785.Forward Nathan Todd and defenseman Kyle Burroughs also scored for San Jose, which, like Vegas, only dressed a handful of players who are still expected to be in the NHL when the two teams meet Oct. 12 in the regular season opener.Starting goalie Kaapo Kahkonen, in his second full season with the Sharks, made 32 saves, including 19 in the first two periods.

How SF Giants’ playoff chances evaporated over disastrous 10-game road trip

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:37:57 GMT

LOS ANGELES — When the Giants embarked on this trip 10 days ago, they were firmly in the playoff race.Riding high off a 5-1 homestand, their postseason odds, according to FanGraphs, stood at 47.5%. As recently as the last day of August, their chances were as high as 67.1%. Walked off Sunday night by the Dodgers, 3-2, they had fallen to 0.2% by the time they boarded their charter flight home.It was their eighth loss in 10 games on this disastrous trip, and it played out similarly to many of their previous 78. There wasn’t a pitcher who completed five innings, the little offense they produced came on one swing of the bat, and they left the bases loaded twice, including in the top of the ninth when Mitch Haniger went down swinging.“At the end of the day, I’m just trying to work hard, get better and help the team win, and unfortunately I haven’t been able to come through in situations like that,” said Haniger, whose batting average fell to a career-worst .2...

Estudios y escritores de Hollywood llegan a un acuerdo tentativo para poner fin a la huelga

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:37:57 GMT

(CNN) — Los principales estudios de cine y televisión y los escritores en huelga llegaron a un acuerdo tentativo el domingo después de días de maratónicas sesiones de negociación, dijo el domingo por la noche el Writers Guild of America (WGA, por sus siglas en inglés), allanando el camino para poner fin al histórico paro laboral que ha congelado la producción y paralizado gran parte de Hollywood.“Lo que hemos ganado en este contrato –en particular, todo lo que hemos ganado desde el 2 de mayo– se debe a la voluntad de estos miembros de ejercer su poder, de demostrar su solidaridad, de caminar lado a lado, de soportar el dolor e incertidumbre de los últimos 146 días”, dijo la WGA en un correo electrónico a los miembros el domingo. “Es la influencia generada por su huelga, junto con el extraordinario apoyo de nuestros hermanos sindicales, lo que finalmente hizo que las empresas volvieran a la mesa para llegar a un acuerdo”.Si bien el acuerdo aún debe ser ratificado po...

With narrow margin for error, winless Panthers hurt themselves with penalties vs. Seahawks

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:37:57 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — Frank Reich has coached long enough to know his rebuilding and injury-depleted Carolina Panthers had a narrow margin for error while playing at Seattle.After Carolina committed 13 penalties, had no running game and couldn’t get stops in the second half, it’s safe to say Reich’s team didn’t follow his formula for victory.“I don’t think anybody feels like we’ve been outmanned in any game,” Reich said. “We just have beat ourselves. Just have to continue to get better.”The Panthers dropped to 0-3 on Sunday, losing 37-27 to the Seahawks while constantly setting themselves back with penalties.Carolina got a big day from veteran backup Andy Dalton, who threw for 367 yards, and held Seattle to field goals early on. But the Seahawks eventually found the end zone and the Panthers were left to lament their mistakes in a frustrated locker room.“It’s tough because you can’t put your finger on it,” said wide receiver DJ Chark Jr., who caught a 47-yard touchd...

(CNN Español) — Cuando el reconocido músico uruguayo Luciano Supervielle y su pareja, Eloísa Camejo, esperaban su segundo hijo y realizaban los chequeos de rutina, supieron que algo no iba del todo bien.“Había un problema de percentiles.

Apenas nació en 2014, ambos padres empezaron a averiguarlo todo, a leer, a tratar de entender qué era y cómo conv...
