A San Fernando Valley business owner is out thousands of dollars worth of merchandise after burglars broke into one of her stores Wednesday night, the latest in a string of crimes she claims is forcing the closure of her company.Evette Ingram of Evette's Beauty Supply said bandits stood outside her Tarzana store as if waiting for a bus, then broke in through a window before making off with about $25,000 worth of merchandise.This store, the Tarzana location, has been broken into six times, but Ingram said her other four locations have also been burgled.Ingram said she's closing down all of her stores, a decision that was "very, very hard.""This is my passion. I started this business to create generational wealth for my children and my granddaughter, so it's hard closing, it's bittersweet, but it's taken a toll on my health," she said. "I found out that I'm diabetic, I have high blood pressure, because all of my focus went on my stores and not on my body."While her stores made it thro...

SF Giants lock up Logan Webb long term with five-year extension

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:55:34 GMT

DETROIT — Just like their championship years, the San Francisco Giants will have a homegrown ace at the top of their rotation for years to come.Logan Webb signed a five-year extension that will pay him $90 million and ensures his future with the Giants through 2028, the club announced Friday morning. The contract, which kicks in next year, buys out both of Webb’s two remaining arbitration years as well as his first three years of free agency, and guarantees the 26-year-old right-hander from Rocklin will be in a Giants uniform at least through his age-31 season.Webb will make $8 million in 2024 and $12 million in 2025 before the contract escalates to pay him $23 million in 2026 and 2027 and $24 million in 2028.Selected by the Giants in the fourth round of the 2014 MLB draft out of Rocklin High, just outside Sacramento, Webb made his major-league debut as a 22-year-old in 2019 but ascended to top-of-the-rotation starter during the second half of 2021, when he went 10-0 with a 2....

49ers reportedly keeping Kerry Hyder Jr. in defensive line mix

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:55:34 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Kerry Hyder Jr.’s return to the 49ers could be a boost for the defensive line’s depth, presuming he produces more than the one sack he had last season.Hyder is re-signing with the 49ers, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Terms are unknown, and the 49ers are expected to confirm Hyder’s return when the offseason program opens Monday.After Hyder led the 49ers with 8 1/2 sacks in their injury-marred 2020 season, he defected to the Seattle Seahawks in 2021 to tally just 1 1/2 sacks. Last season, the 49ers tapped into Hyder’s versatility to help fill in on their injury-depleted interior, while NFL Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa produced 18 1/2 sacks.Hyder’s return could help compensate for the free agency departures of Samson Ebukam (Indianapolis Colts), Charles Omenihu (Kansas City Chiefs) and Jordan Willis (Las Vegas Raiders).The 49ers earlier addressed their defensive-end depth by signing Clelin Ferrell (Raiders) an...

Landmark U.S. law saved whales through marine industries change

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:55:34 GMT

By PATRICK WHITTLE | Associated PressPORTLAND, Maine  — On a breezy spring day, scientists and conservationists methodically conducted experiments near 15 North Atlantic right whales that occasionally spouted and surfaced in a bay south of Boston.The pod of adults and calves is about 4% of the worldwide population of a marine mammal that almost disappeared from the planet after many decades of commercial whaling. There now are only a few hundred of the behemoths, which can weigh 70 tons (63.5 metric tons) and subsist on small ocean organisms.Although right whale numbers are dwindling, conservationists attribute their continued survival to the U.S. Endangered Species Act.The landmark federal law — a half century old this year — has forced the fishing and commercial shipping industries to take important steps to help protect the critically endangered whales. And it’s spurred government agencies and scientists to undertake research.David Wiley, research ecologist with the National Ocea...

Kurtenbach: Warriors youngster Jonathan Kuminga is poised to soar in the NBA playoffs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:55:34 GMT

The Warriors carry many advantages into this postseason, but none is more significant — or arguably more powerful — than experience.The Dubs’ core players — Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson — have combined to play 433 playoff games going into Saturday’s first-round Game 1 with the Kings in Sacramento.They’ve raised some banners. They’ve fallen behind in series. They’ve even lost two NBA Finals. Good and bad (but mostly good), they’ve seen some stuff over the last decade.“I feel a totally different energy now that the regular season is over,” Green said Thursday. “The focus level in the playoffs is totally different. The preparation is totally different.“You lean into the know-how. You know what to do.”And while the Warriors come into this postseason as the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference — it’s the first time the Dubs have finished lower than the No. 3 seed since Steve Kerr took over the team ...

SF mayor to propose 5-year, $600M plan to halve unsheltered homelessness

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:55:34 GMT

In June 2022, a newly enacted city ordinance announced: "It shall be the policy of the City to offer to every person experiencing homelessness in San Francisco a safe place to sleep." On Friday, less than a year later, the mayor is set to announce a five-year strategic plan intended to comprehensively address homelessness in San Francisco. But if that plan is successfully implemented, the city policy may need to be restated to change the words "every person" to "every other person," because the plan only proposes to reduce the unsheltered population by half. Bay Area suburb is CA’s best for city-like living, study says The plan was prepared by the city's Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (HSH), the city's lead agency on issues of unsheltered homelessness, and is entitled "Home by the Bay, An Equity-Driven Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness in San Francisco." The plan provides that by spending $607 million in new funding over five years, the city can...
