PEBBLE BEACH — The frivolity is gone. No more Bill Murray or Ray Romano. No more wisecracks. No more celebrity exhibitions. No more clever gallery-to-player repartee, the fabric of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am for nearly 90 years since it was the Crosby Clambake.Several months after the announcement that the AT&T would become a 2024 PGA Tour Signature Event featuring only about half its usual field, no cut, only two golf courses and a $20 million purse, the tournament has detailed further drastic changes.Bing Crosby and Byron Nelson at Pebble Beach during the 1968 Crosby Pro-Am.

Dungeness crab action to pick up Jan. 5

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:37:05 GMT

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife announced commercial Dungeness crab restrictions will be lifted on Jan. 5 in DFW Zones 1 and 2. Recreational anglers in those zones may use traditional crab traps as well. Zones 3 and 4, which stretch from Point Arena in the north to Point Lopez below Big Sur, are still on lockdown.Commercial crabbing for Dungeness remains closed in our area and recreational crabbers cannot use crab pots. Utilizing hoop nets, crab snares or collecting crab by hand remains legal for recreational anglers in our area. This situation will continue at least until Jan. 11, when the next scheduled CDFW risk assessment is expected. The temporary crab trap restrictions are in place due to “elevated numbers of humpback whales resulting in increased entanglement risk,” according to the DFW.Using hoop nets avoids the long-soak aspect of traditional crab traps. While both methods employ a floating buoy with line stretching to the ocean floor, the hoops must be check...

However, given the challenging business environment in which Zulily operated, and the corresponding financial instability, Zulily decided to take immediate and swift action,” said the notice, signed by Ryan C. Baker, vice president at management consultant Douglas Wilson Companies, which is handling the receivership for the company.Founded in 2010 by Darrell Cavens and Mark Vadon, Zulily made a splash with products catering to families with youn...

Defense attorney Michael Schwartz projected onto the courtroom screen a photo of Salvador Alejandro Sanchez carrying his 20-month-old son, Noah, in the Costco in Corona on June 14, 2019. Moments later, intellectually disabled 32-year-old Kenneth French would punch Sanchez to the floor, prompting the off-duty Los Angeles Police Department officer to fatally shoot French and wound his parents.“This is what this case is really about,” Schwartz told jurors during the second day of closing arguments of Sanchez’s trial at Larson Justice Center in Indio on Wednesday, Dec. 27. “The most vulnerable person there.

He faces up to 33 years in prison if convicted on all counts, said the prosecutor, state Deputy Attorney General Mike Murphy.Schwartz described the confrontation as a “very fa...

49ers would love to see Ravens in Super Bowl, but getting there will be the hard part

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:37:05 GMT

SANTA CLARA — The 49ers put the Ravens game to rest Wednesday morning, doing their usual film review with coach Kyle Shanahan in painstaking detail. If all goes according to plan, the one-sided loss won’t come anywhere near defining their season.Then they set about putting in motion a game plan against the Washington Commanders, who at 4-11 and with coach Ron Rivera having one foot out the door, could define another lost season by taking down the top seed in the NFC.The Los Angeles Rams, the hottest team in the conference, await in the regular season finale at Levi’s Stadium, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.“We know we need to win these next two games to get where we’re trying to go,” linebacker Fred Warner said. “So ultimately it ends up being this game is everything. It doesn’t matter about winning two games if you don’t win the first one.”A 33-19 loss to Baltimore on Christmas night left a razor thin margin fo...

PARIS (AP) — The Tour d’Argent already boasts a 320,000-bottle wine cellar, a world-famous duck recipe and a storied 441-year history. Now, the legendary Paris restaurant is about to serve up its “plat de résistance”: a front-row view of two of the biggest events of 2024 — the renaissance of Notre Dame Cathedral and the 2024 Summer Olympics.A city landmark unto itself — and an inspiration for the restaurant in the movie “Ratatouille’’ — the Tour d’Argent recently reopened after its own renovation, which preserved revered traditions while adapting to the 21st century.‘’It’s very reassuring for many customers to see that such establishments are still present in our history, and in French gastronomic history,’’ owner and CEO André Terrail told the Associated Press.The restaurant claims to be the oldest in Paris, its 1582 opening date embossed on the doors. It says King Henri IV ate heron pâté here; ‘’Sun King’’ Louis XIV hosted a meal here involving an entire cow; and presi...
