Santa Clara County’s sports teams will be the first in the nation to navigate a second coronavirus shutdown, beginning Monday when a new county health order takes effect. Team practices and games from the high school level to the pros will be banned in the county for three weeks, and officials said there are no exceptions — not for the 49ers or any other team that gained county clearance to begin practicing again this summer or fall. “That means that for those teams, they will not be able to play games or have practices where they have direct contact,” County Counsel James Williams said at a Saturday press conference. The order will force teams in the midst of their seasons — like the county’s college football and basketball teams, as well as the 49ers, to act quickly. They will likely hav

Summary List PlacementFormer Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne said that he's financing "a team of hackers and cybersleuths" in an attempt to prove that President Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election, according to The Daily Beast. Byrne, who stepped down from his position at Overstock last year after admitting to a relationship with a Russian spy, recently went on the One America News Network (OAN), a conservative news outlet and a favored media destination of Trump, to detail what he described as a "rigged" election process. Dominion Voting Systems, a company that provided election voting software in several key presidential battlegrounds, has been a target for right-wing grievances about the presidential election. For weeks, the company has sought to fend off debunked and ou...

20180531 Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes pictured here at the Capitol in Salt Lake City, announced a lawsuit against Purdue Pharma over the opioid crisis on May 31, 2018. | Deseret News, Laura Seitz, Deseret News Two days before Thanksgiving, Utah and the nation were focused on the coronavirus. It was the middle of a week that would end with a rolling seven-day average of 2,575 COVID-19 cases in the state with an average positive test rate of 21.4%. On that day the governor and health officials continued to talk about the need not to gather different households around the Thanksgiving table. And for those who would come together, masks and social distancing were the order of the day. Meanwhile on that Tuesday, a decision was announced in a federal court in New Jersey. Here’s how the New ...

SAUGERTIES, N.Y. (AP) — Rocky the stowaway owl is back in the wild. The tiny Saw-whet owl was named Rockefeller after it was found by a worker setting up the holiday tree Nov. 16 at Manhattan’s Rockefeller Center. The owl was apparently trapped in the 75-foot-tall (23-meter-tall) Norway spruce when it was cut down 170 miles (275 kilometers) north, in upstate New York on Nov. 12. The female owl, initially thought to be male, was uninjured but hadn’t eaten for at least three days when she was discovered and sent to Ravensbeard Wildlife Center in the Hudson Valley town of Saugerties. There, a rehabilitator nursed her back to health for a week with plenty of mice before Rocky was cleared to continue her migratory journey south. On Tuesday evening, rehabilitator Ellen Kalish held the winsome ...

LOS ANGELES — California Gov. Gavin Newson has reversed parole for Charles Manson follower Leslie Van Houten, marking the fourth time a governor has blocked her release. A California panel recommended parole in July for Van Houten, who has spent nearly five decades in prison. Newsom reversed her release once previously and his predecessor, Jerry Brown, blocked it twice. Van Houten’s attorney, Rich Pfeiffer, said they will appeal Newsom’s decision. “This reversal will demonstrate to the courts that there is no way Newsom will let her out,” Pfeiffer said. “So they have to enforce the law or it will never be enforced.” Van Houten, 71, is serving a life sentence at the California Institution for Women in Chino for helping Manson and others kill Los Angeles grocer Leno LaBianca and his wife, R...

If Chad Brown is ever in search of a new home, the 41-year-old trainer might want to strongly consider the Southern California circuit as a new stomping ground. Brown, voted an Eclipse Award as the nation’s top trainer the past four years, won Saturday’s $300,000 Grade I Hollywood Derby at Del Mar with 4-1 shot Domestic Spending for his third Turf Festival victory during this holiday weekend.

Brown also won Thursday’s Grade III Red Carpet Handicap with favored Orglandes and, four races before the Hollywood Derby, took home first prize in the Grade III

New coach Billy Donovan brings his impressive coaching chops to the Bulls. | Mike Ehrmann/Getty ImagesIn the Eastern Conference, just about every team has something to look forward to this season. With NBA camps set to open, it’s a fun “what if’’ game to kick around. What if former Bulls vice president of basketball operations John Paxson hadn’t let ownership know last December that it should begin a search for a new front office? Would Gar Forman still be the general manager Tuesday, when whistles start blowing at the Advocate Center? The rebuild was failing, and Paxson and Forman were growing apart. Paxson had long been aware that Forman privately didn’t have his back all the time on the college scouting trail. But loyalty is an important fabric in the Jerry Reinsdorf wardrobe, so perhap
