Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 17:48:35 GMT

A car veered off the 15 Freeway and crashed into a home in Temecula, causing a massive explosion early Thursday. Siblings Gaby Rivera and Angel Vega were two of eight people inside the home when the crash occurred around 2:45 a.m. “All of a sudden, I heard screeching,” Angel told KTLA’s Rick Chambers. “Then the next you thing know, a loud crash and bang.” He said the car hit the gas line and the fuse box. Within a matter of seconds, they started seeing the flames.  “It was scary. I’m trying to run my grandma out and the flames are right next to us,” Angel explained. “It was definitely very traumatic.”  A home in Temecula burned to ashes after a car on the 15 Freeway veered off the roadway and into the residence on Oct. 12, 2023. (KTLA)Unfortunately, the fire spread rapidly, and the family only escaped with what they could grab on the way to their front door. The family’s dogs made it out okay, but their cat, Stevie, did not survive.  “She was too scared...

After surprise Grammy nomination, säje takes the next step

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 17:48:35 GMT

The American music scene is littered with one-hit wonders, acts that briefly catapulted to the top of the charts and then plunged back into oblivion. The jazz vocal ensemble säje put a very different spin on the renown-bounding phenomenon, scoring a 2020 Grammy Award-nomination with the quartet’s first (and, at that time, only) track, a sumptuously lapidary original called “Desert Song.”The tune emerged out of a creatively febrile 2019 weekend session in Palm Springs that was intended as a trial run to see whether it made sense for the four women to sing, compose and arrange together. Instead of following the game plan, spending their time writing and workshopping material, Los Angeles-based Sara Gazarek and Erin Bentlage and Seattle-situated Johnaye Kendrick and Amanda Taylor ended up talking, sharing and bonding over their overlapping and divergent creative practices.Though the women had various ties to each other, it wasn’t a given that some kind of collaboration would emerge. As...

Mailbag: ‘Pac-2’ leadership options, the blame game (Scott vs. Kliavkoff), Pac-12 board moves, CFP scenarios, emergency funds and more

The Hotline mailbag publishes each Friday. Send questions to [email protected] and include ‘mailbag’ in the subject line. Or hit me on Twitter: @WilnerHotline.Please note: Some questions have been edited for clarity and brevity.So it seems we may have a two-team conference next year while things play out. If that happens, who is going to be commissioner? Do they even need one? — @brycetacomaAppreciate the question because it allows us to address two topics at once: Why George Kliavkoff remains  commissioner of the Pac-12, and who would lead a ‘Pac-2’ if Washington State and Oregon State compete alone in 2024.The Hotline has received numerous questions about Kliavkoff’s continued employment after he steered the conference to ruin in early August and lost all credibility with, well, everyone. Our sense: Nobody is motivated to cut him loose.The two remaining schools aren’t relying on Kliavkoff for strategic advice as they plot their future....

Teacher dead, 2 people wounded in France knife attack

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 17:48:35 GMT

By John Leicester, Samuel Petrequin and Jeffrey Schaeffer | Associated PressARRAS, France — A man of Chechen origin who was under surveillance by French security services over suspected Islamic radicalization stabbed a teacher to death at his former high school and critically wounded two other people Friday in northern France, authorities said.The attack was being investigated by anti-terror prosecutors amid soaring global tensions over the war between Israel and Hamas. It also happened almost three years after another teacher, Samuel Paty, was beheaded by a radicalized Chechen near a Paris area school.President Emmanuel Macron said France had been “hit once again by the barbarity of Islamist terrorism.”“Nearly three years to the day after the assassination of Samuel Paty, terrorism has hit a school again and in a context that we’re all aware of,” Macron said at the site of the attack in Arras, a city 115 miles (185 kilometers) north of Paris.A colleagu...

With a fresh start, young winger makes impact in San Jose Sharks debut

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 17:48:35 GMT

SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks should be a team filled with motivated individuals.Between the NHL and AHL, the Sharks organization has over 20 players on expiring contracts, including 10 who are set to become unrestricted free agents next summer. Some will land big paydays. Others might simply be hoping for another deal.Few, though, appear to be as motivated as winger Filip Zadina, a 2018 first-round draft choice who gave up millions in guaranteed money from the Detroit Red Wings this summer to become a free agent.After he gave up $4.56 million in actual cash, following the mutual termination of his contract, Zadina signed a team-friendly one-year, $1.1 million deal with the Sharks, simply because he wanted a fresh start elsewhere and a chance to play a bigger role, perhaps alongside Tomas Hertl.In 190 games with the Red Wings, Zadina had just 28 goals and 40 assists, totals not commensurate with a sixth-overall draft pick. One can quibble with how Zadina was developed after he was ...

George Kittle’s ‘(Bleep) Dallas’ T-shirt reportedly draws NFL fine

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 17:48:35 GMT

SANTA CLARA — George Kittle’s undershirt Sunday night was an ode to Gary Plummer’s 1994 version that made a derogatory statement toward the Dallas Cowboys, and now the NFL has had its say, too.Kittle drew a $13,699 fine, ESPN first reported, for the shirt’s abusive language that, like Plummer’s, read “F*** Dallas,” only without that censor.Kittle said Thursday he expected a fine: “I mean, I wore a personalized T-shirt, maybe with an inappropriate word. It is what it is. It’s a decision I made. If they want to fine me, they fine me.”Kittle added that “100 percent, I’d do it again.”Kittle scored three touchdowns in the 49ers’ 42-10 rout over the Dallas Cowboys, but he did not lift up his jersey to reveal his grey undershirt until after Jordan Mason scored the 49ers’ final touchdowns.Plummer appreciated Kittle’s shoutout to his 1994 fashion, in which Plummer had T-shirts made for the 49ers’ defense before their NFC...
