ST. LOUIS - A busy intersection downtown reopens after a deadly crash near Enterprise Center.Police had 14th and Clark shutdown for about four hours. The entrance to get on 64 West was also blocked off. Everything just reopened in the last 25 minutes.

Salman Rushdie was stabbed onstage last year. He’s releasing a memoir about the attack

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:56:25 GMT

By HILLEL ITALIE (AP National Writer)NEW YORK (AP) — Salman Rushdie has a memoir coming out about the horrifying attack that left him blind in his right eye and with a damaged left hand. “Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder” will be published April 16.“This was a necessary book for me to write: a way to take charge of what happened, and to answer violence with art,” Rushdie said in a statement released Wednesday by Penguin Random House. Last August, Rushdie was stabbed repeatedly in the neck and abdomen by a man who rushed the stage as the author was about to give a lecture in western New York. The attacker, Hadi Matar, has pleaded not guilty to charges of assault and attempted murder.For some time after Iran’s Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a 1989 fatwa calling for Rushdie’s death over alleged blasphemy in his novel “The Satanic Verses,” the writer lived in isolation and with round-the-clock security. ...

For those of us who cover games through the state championships, we have reached the halfway point.Eight weeks to go after this one before we put a bow on the 2023 season.In our all-in-fun Bay Area News Group picks competition, I am having a great time.

Local fans sack 49ers broadcasts for featuring shots of San Francisco instead of Silicon Valley

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:56:25 GMT

Sweeping views of the Golden Gate bridge, Alcatraz Island and San Francisco’s skyline have dominated aerial shots for 49ers television broadcasts for years — after all, it’s the team’s namesake.But it’s been nearly a decade since the NFL team played in the City by the Bay after its 2014 relocation roughly 40 miles south from Candlestick Park to Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, and national broadcasts still pan San Francisco’s cityscape before and after commercial breaks.Many South Bay Niners fans have had enough, taking to social media in recent weeks to bemoan the lack of Santa Clara aerial footage, particularly following comments made by sportscaster Al Michaels during a Sept. 21 Thursday Night Football game between the 49ers and the New York Giants on Prime Video.“Have you ever noticed we come here and all of our aerials are from 44 miles away?” Michaels said.The longtime play-by-play announcer called San Francisco “beauti...

How motorcyclists can more safely split lanes: Roadshow

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:56:25 GMT

Q: My question regards lane sharing. Frequently motorcyclists are traveling much faster than vehicular traffic, and are not always easy to spot when changing lanes. Which vehicle (car or motorcycle) has the right of way in the “shared” lane, if there is an accident between them when changing lanes?Jan Jurnecka, AptosA: Lane splitting is legal in California, but it can be very dangerous. Motorcyclists have the right to drive between cars here, but that doesn’t mean they can do so in an unsafe way which could lead to accidents.I checked the California Driver’s Handbook and the California Motorcycle Handbook to see what they say about lane splitting. The motorcycle handbook was more valuable in this case.The motorcycle handbook places great emphasis in all sections on motorcyclists’ responsibility to keep themselves safe. This handbook says of lane splitting, “Riding between rows of stopped or moving vehicles in the same lane can leave you vulnerable...
