Summary List PlacementAfter leaving Fox News in June 2018, likely as a result of a sexual-harassment allegations, according to The New Yorker, newscaster Kimberly Guilfoyle has refashioned herself as a conservative influencer for legions of female Trump supporters. Guilfoyle, who is dating President Donald Trump's oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., is a lead fund-raiser for the Trump reelection campaign. Her speech at the virtual Republican National Convention, in August, instantly became a meme, drawing comparisons to Mussolini and "The Hunger Games'" Effie Trinket. Mocked or not, it was the most talked-about speech of the convention, and it put Guilfoyle on a literal podium for Trump-loving conservatives. As for the 42-year-old Don Jr., in two years he's gone from just being Ivanka's broth...

MILLBRAE — A motorcyclist died Thursday night after colliding with a rail while on a highway, the California Highway Patrol said. The 55-year-old San Mateo resident was on his Harley Davidson going southbound on US-101 to Millbrae Avenue when he came upon a sweeping right curve just before 9:30 p.m., and hit the rail head-on, the CHP said.

RAMS (5-2) vs. DOLPHINS (3-3) When: 10 a.m. Sunday Where: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami TV/radio: Ch. 11, 710 AM, 1330 AM (Spanish) Line: Rams by 3½ What’s at stake? After playing their worst all-around game (the loss at San Francisco) followed by their best (the win over Chicago), the Rams look for the consistency the coaches have been talking about. The Rams would jump into first place in the NFC West if they win and Seattle loses to the 49ers. It would be a good way to cap the first half of their season and go into their bye week. Who’s better? It might be closer than the records suggest. The Dolphins have improved, going from 32nd in points allowed in 2019 to third in the league after bringing in six new defensive starters in their second season under Coach Brian Flores. They got the NFC W...

Several residents in the Lincoln Square neighborhood woke Saturday morning to find flyers on their car windshields supporting the Proud Boys, a white nationalist hate group. At least five different flyers, three of which promoted the group, were put on cars sometime before 11:30 p.m. Friday night. Another flyer was fashioned to look like paper currency with an image of President Don

When the coronavirus first erupted in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in the spring, Mayor Paul TenHaken arrived at work each morning with a clear mission: Stop the outbreak at the pork plant. Hundreds of employees, chopping meat shoulder to shoulder, had gotten sick in what was then the largest U.S. virus cluster. That outbreak was extinguished months ago, and these days, when he heads into City Hall, the situation is far more nebulous. The virus has spread all over town. “You can swing a cat and hit someone who has got it,” said TenHaken, who had to reschedule his own meetings to Zoom this past week after his assistant tested positive for the virus. As the coronavirus soars across the country, smashing daily records and surpassing 9 million cases nationwide, tracing the path of the pandemic i

Summary List PlacementA US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report released Friday suggests that getting the coronavirus from someone you live with can be quick and easy, no matter their age. The study, which is ongoing in over 100 households in Nashville, Tennessee and Marshfield, Wisconsin since April, found that more than half (53%) of study participants living with a sick person who tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, wound up sick themselves within a week. 75% of those secondary cases tested positive for the virus within five days or less, according to their daily, self-administered tests. "Persons who suspect that they might have COVID-19 should isolate, stay at home, and use a separate bedroom and bathroom if feasible," the study au...

Robinson leads the team, by far, in targets, catches and yards receiving. | AP Photos After missing practice all week, Robinson is cleared and will play vs. the Saints. The Bears will have wide receiver Allen Robinson against the Saints on Sunday after he cleared the concussion, the team announced Saturday. “If he’s able to pass through it and everything is good to go, of course we want him to be out there,” coach Matt Nagy said Friday. “It’s kind of out of our hands.” Robinson has been the team’s best offensive player the last two seasons and hasn’t missed a game since Week 17 of the 2018 season. He is eighth in the NFL in catches (44) and ninth in yards receiving (544). He has 26% of the targets, and no other Bears player has 30-plus catches or 240-plus yards. Losing him would be a t...

Summary List PlacementMary Alderete became the chief marketing officer of Gap in February 2020.  She had her work cut out for her. Within a few weeks, the COVID-19 pandemic had begun to spread across the US, leading governors to order temporary shutdowns of nonessential businesses, including apparel stores like Gap.  The year 2020 has also brought with it the chaos of an election year and renewed attention to the issue of racial justice. Amid all of that, Alderete's goal has been to push Gap's brand to be more relevant and of-the-moment than it has been in recent years. Even before the pandemic, Gap was reporting slumping sales, and analysts were looking for more excitement to be infused into the brand. The clothing store's net sales dropped 28% in its most recent quarter, despite a 75% ...

AP Photos Contact tracers like Kakoz who are able to connect with people mark a rare success in a contact tracing effort that has largely been a failure nationwide. SAN DIEGO — When a contact tracer called the Iraqi woman to say her 18-year-old daughter tested positive for the coronavirus and could quarantine for free in a hotel, the woman panicked — recalling the family’s terror of risking separation forever during their flight from Baghdad after a bomb killed her brother. The contact tracer, Iraqi immigrant Ethar Kakoz, had made a similar harrowing journey using smugglers to get out of Iraq after her parents were told she could be kidnapped. So Kakoz came up with a safe way for the teen to isolate herself at home in the San Diego suburb of El Cajon, knowing the mother couldn’t bear t
