Levi’s Stadium: Is 11 p.m. late enough after Taylor Swift, Beyonce blew past curfew this summer?

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:03:55 GMT

For years, big-name acts like the Rolling Stones, Coldplay, and other musicians have coolly blown through the curfews at Levi’s Stadium.It’s been a point of contention ever since the stadium was built in Santa Clara nearly a decade ago among residential neighborhoods, with cutoff times set at 10 p.m. on weeknights and 11 p.m. on weekends to protect residents living in its shadow from loud noise blaring late into the night.Over the years, the San Francisco 49ers, who manage non-NFL events at the venue, have been fined $1,000 each time the curfews are ignored — a paltry amount for a billion-dollar franchise.In 2021, the Santa Clara City Council relaxed the curfew slightly, allowing five weeknight shows a year to go until 11 p.m. But that hasn’t been enough for superstars like Taylor Swift and Beyonce, both of whom broke the curfew this summer to the delight of the tens of thousands of fans in attendance.Swift ended at 11:38 p.m. and 11:26 p.m. during her two-ni...

Covid apathy and fatigue are real. Here’s how to cope

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:03:55 GMT

By Sandee LaMotte | CNNCovid-19 is here to stay. To prove it, the virus is surging in many places around the world — just as immunity from vaccinations is waning and most people have gotten used to life without masks and social distancing.While we know it’s the smart thing to do, the idea of returning to safety protocols required during the pandemic has many of us repeating a line often heard from our children: “I don’t wanna!”“I don’t wanna either,” said stress management expert Dr. Cynthia Ackrill, a fellow at the American Institute of Stress. “One of the responses to stress is to freeze — to stop living in your tracks. And when it comes to accepting Covid as a reality that requires a set of behaviors to stay safe, some people have just stuck their heads in the sand and decided ‘I’m going to act like there’s nothing there.’“RELATED: How California’s current COVID wave ranks among the pandemic’s Top 5Others might choose the other two classic stress responses of “fight or flight.” T...

49ers’ Colton McKivitz has a Bosa-like challenge in Steelers’ Watt

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:03:55 GMT

SANTA CLARA — With time at a bare minimum going into the opener, Colton McKivitz will have to settle for getting in some work against Maxx Crosby as opposed to Nick Bosa.McKivitz steps in as the starting right tackle Sunday against the host Pittsburgh Steelers, and while he’ll have some help in terms of additional blockers, it will be his responsibility to put his body between edge rusher T.J. Watt and 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy.Having grown up in Jacobsburg, Ohio, about 90 minutes from Pittsburgh, McKivitz will have friends and family present.“It’s a great way to start. Having joint practices with the Raiders and seeing Maxx was really helpful,” McKivitz said. “I’ve had this one circled. It’s going to be a homecoming for me and I’m excited to go against the best they have to offer.”Watt is the most formidable Steelers defender as an edge rusher in a 3-4 defense. He comes almost exclusively from the left side at 6-foot-4...

Editorial: Nix last-minute California wildfire insurance bailout scheme

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:03:55 GMT

For months, lawmakers, regulators, the insurance commissioner and the governor sat on their hands while the state’s wildfire insurance market became a full-blown crisis for tens of thousands of Californians.The governor and the Legislature could have proposed bills initiating a transparent process that would have allowed the public to vet legislation through widespread debate.Now, lawmakers are trying to push through a last-minute deal without public input that could bail out insurers at the expense of Californians. It also threatens to violate the spirit of Proposition 103, the 1988 insurance reform measure that outlawed price-gouging, saving policy-holders billions of dollars.It’s an outrageous flaunting of the political process. Californians deserve better.Proponents are expected to unveil their legislation in the next few days, using the egregious, sleazy “gut and amend” process, in which a dormant bill is pulled to the floor in the last days of a legisla...
