By PAT GRAHAM (AP Sports Writer)Keeping up with Mikaela Shiffrin’s offseason endeavors may be just as challenging as catching up to her in a ski race.She’s constantly full speed ahead.The all-time winningest World Cup ski racer attended a Taylor Swift concert, visited a camp where a lodge was named after her, picked up an award at the ESPYs, stopped by to see her boyfriend/fellow ski racer Aleksander Aamodt Kilde in Norway and wrote an article for Time on singer Noah Kahan.On the training front, Shiffrin immersed herself in trail running, adapted to a coaching change and adopted a new attitude — “relaxed and flowy,” she called it — into her racing. The five-time World Cup overall winner has come to realize it’s OK to build throughout a season and that she doesn’t need to be at her elite best when the season kicks off Saturday with a giant slalom race in Soelden, Austria.“I’m trying to take a little bit more of an approach of giving myself time to build into my best form,” the ...

The Starfish Project: Helping with housing — one family at a time

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:36:06 GMT

Here’s a ray of sunshine in these incredibly troubled times, courtesy of Northfield, a small Minnesota town with a big heart — and home to the Hernandez family.Victor and Lorena Hernandez (whose names I’ve changed for privacy) came to the U.S. from Mexico 20 years ago as teenagers. They met, married and had three children, overcoming language, immigration and citizenship barriers along the way. For two decades, they have worked hard and paid taxes. Victor works in manufacturing and does landscaping on the side. Lorena cleans houses. They both provide janitorial services for the local parish.Their hard-earned money goes to support their immediate family and their extended family in Mexico and to pay rent for a rundown two-bedroom apartment. For them, the American dream of owning a home remained just that — a dream.That changed when their parish priest introduced them to Bob Thacker and Karen Cherewatuk, a couple who had long been concerned about the lack of affordable hou...

SANTA CLARA — Brock Purdy went through his normal routine as Thursday’s practice began, signaling that the 49ers’ quarterback is back on track to start Sunday against the Bengals, unless post-concussion symptoms resurface.Purdy still must get cleared from the NFL concussion protocol by an independent neurologist, otherwise, Sam Darnold would start in his place.The 49ers, who’ve lost two in a row after a 5-0 start, kept Purdy out of Wednesday’s official practice, but he was healthy enough to partake in an earlier walk-through session. Purdy reported effects from a potential concussion while on the flight home from Monday night’s 22-17 loss at Minnesota.#49ers Brock Purdy practicing, not fully cleared but progressing through NFL concussion protocol pic.twitter.com/BpRCvt8sZ9— Cam Inman (@CamInman) October 26, 2023Here is how the 49ers’ practice began at just after 1 p.m. Thursday: Purdy jogged over with Darnold and No. 3 quarterback Bran...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:36:06 GMT

San Jose’s BART extension got a boost of $375 million in state funding from the Bay Area’s regional transportation agency this week, bringing a much needed infusion of cash to the future megaproject.The funding approved by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission on Wednesday bolsters the finances behind the BART extension — a six-mile route that will add four stations — which recently saw a major cost increase and timeline delay due to economic pressures from inflation.

In addition, $350 million was directed toward BART capacity improvements.Officials on Thursday said the m...

By Najib Jobain, Kareen Chehayeb and Amy Teibel | Associated PressRAFAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli troops and tanks briefly raided northern Gaza overnight, the military said Thursday, engaging with Hamas fighters and targeting anti-tank weapons in order to “prepare the battlefield” before an expected ground invasion.The third Israeli raid since the war began came after more than two weeks of devastating airstrikes that have left thousands dead, and more than 1 million displaced from their homes, in the small, densely-populated territory.Arab leaders made a joint plea Thursday for a ceasefire to end civilian suffering and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, where Israel has imposed a suffocating siege ever since Hamas’ rampage and hostage-taking in southern Israel ignited the war. Residents are running out of food, water and medicine, and U.N. workers have barely any fuel left to support relief missions.The rising death toll in Gaza is unprecedented in the decades-long Isr...
