Outside Lands attendees hoping to take Caltrain to the festival this weekend are out of luck as the public transit agency is suspending service from Millbrae to San Francisco as it works to meet its fall 2024 goal of electrification.The San Francisco festival, which is having its 15th anniversary this year in Golden Gate Park, runs from Aug. 11 through 13 and boasts headliners like Kendrick Lamar, the Foo Fighters, Odesza, Zedd and Lana Del Rey.While Caltrain has encouraged festivalgoers in the South Bay and along the Peninsula year after year to ride the rail at least part of the way — Muni will get you the rest of the way — this year will be different.On Tuesday, Caltrain announced it would be suspending service from Millbrae to San Francisco on the weekends of August 12-13, 19-20 and 26-27, marking the 17th, 18th and 19th weekend of the year where service will be impacted for construction and testing of the train’s upcoming electrification.Caltrain spokesperson ...Jimmy Garoppolo, 49ers get sentimental at Vegas reunion, to an extent

HENDERSON, Nev. – Fred Warner called Jimmy Garoppolo “my guy.” Christian McCaffrey said he owes Garoppolo a “big hug.” Brock Purdy enjoyed seeing “good ol’ Jim.”Gawking at Garoppolo in a Raiders uniform, against his former 49ers’ teammates, tapped into an emotional vein Thursday, the first of back-to-back days of joint practices before Sunday’s preseason opener in Las Vegas.As genuinely grateful as everyone came across about Garoppolo’s 5 ½-year engagement with the 49ers, a sense of resentment sears in the background.Garoppolo indeed can claim “I treasure those times” and that “those are my brothers, I love those guys.” Coach Kyle Shanahan can go so far as to say “he was the best quarterback here in about 20 years, since Steve Young.”Big picture: the 49ers never got their sixth Lombardi Trophy, and Garoppolo did not get to keep his job, though he was handsomely rewarded with more than $121 million.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Noah Syndergaard won for the first time since April 30, rookies Brayan Rocchio and José Tena sparked Cleveland’s offense, and the Guardians defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 on Thursday.Syndergaard (2-5) allowed one run in 5 2/3 innings and was removed with the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth. Nick Sandlin retired Nathan Lukes on a ground ball to end the inning.Syndergaard made his third start with Cleveland since being acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers for shortstop Amed Rosario on July 26. He allowed a career-high four home runs against the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. The 30-year-old right-hander has battled injuries over the past several seasons. He made 12 starts with the Dodgers before being sidelined with a blister and also underwent Tommy John surgery in 2020. “There’s really no excuse or no reason why I should not be the pitcher that I was before, but every five days I got to go there and compete with what I got,” Syndergaard said.Syndergaard ...‘Ash and debris’: Journalist covering Maui fires surveys destruction of once-vibrant Hawaii town
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 14:38:40 GMT
LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — I’ve seen my share of a wildfire’s destruction on a community, but in more than eight years of covering these disasters as a video and photojournalist, the scene over Hawaii was one of the worst. Based in Las Vegas, I’m used to being dispatched to wildfires in other places. I flew to Hawaii on Wednesday, and by Thursday morning, I was in a helicopter flying over Lahaina, a normally vibrant west Maui town that draws visitors from all over the world. What struck me the most was the lack of color of the scorched earth sandwiched between glistening blue ocean and deep green-brown mountains in the distance. No plants or trappings of island life. Just gray.Street after street after street was nothing but rubble and foundation. Ash and debris. It was so one-dimensional that it was hard to imagine the scenic town that was once here. King Kamehameha III Elementary School was decimated, a mess of collapsed steel. There was a neighborhood near the water...Fighting has left half of Lebanon’s largest Palestinian refugee camp `a hot area,’ UN says

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Days of fighting in the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon displaced several hundred families, destroyed up to 400 houses and left half the camp still off-limits and considered “a hot area,” a senior U.N. official said Thursday.Dorothee Klaus, Director of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, said she was able to visit part of the Ein el-Hilweh camp for the first time earlier this week and met with traumatized children and women, some whose hair turned white during the hostilities.The fighting between members of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah group and militants of Islamic groups at Ein el-Hilweh near the southern port of Sidon that began July 30 and ended Aug. 3 left 13 people dead and dozens wounded.Klaus said “the camp remains unstable,” with the Lebanese military barring access to half the camp because armed fighters are still positioned there and it’s not safe though hostilities have ceased.She told U.N. journalists at a...ARL: Q2 Earnings Snapshot

WAILUKU, Hawaii (NEXSTAR) — The search of the wildfire wreckage on the Hawaiian island of Maui on Thursday revealed a wasteland of burned out homes and obliterated communities as firefighters battled the stubborn blaze that has already claimed 53 lives, making it the deadliest in the U.S. in recent years.Fueled by a dry summer and strong winds from a passing hurricane, the fire started Tuesday and took the island by surprise, racing through parched growth and neighborhoods in the historic town of Lahaina, a tourist destination that dates to the 1700s and is the biggest community on the island's west side. PHOTOS: Intensifying fires wreak havoc on Maui Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said Wednesday that 53 had died, making it the deadliest U.S. blaze since the 2018 Camp Fire in California, which killed at least 85 people and laid waste to the town of Paradise.
