The San Jose Sharks have issues. Here are five they hope to resolve during training camp

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:22:28 GMT

The San Jose Sharks’ task of trying to replace three-time Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson is a little bit like a bleary-eyed parent trying to assemble their child’s intricate new toy on a hectic Christmas morning.Where does one even begin?Karlsson, traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins last month, did just about everything for the Sharks last season as he became the first defenseman in 31 years to score at least 100 points in a season.As the Sharks stumbled to a 22-44-16 record, Karlsson had a season for the ages as he led the team in assists, overall ice time, power-play points, and power-play ice time. He fueled breakouts, held his own on defense, played all 82 games, and provided underappreciated leadership.Finding ways to make up for Karlsson’s absence will be job No. 1 for the Sharks this month as they get ready to begin their first training camp in five years without No. 65.“You’re losing a Norris Trophy-winning defenseman and a guy that’s got elite offensive abilit...

Review: ‘Toxic’ in San Jose a flawed, but wrenching, look at school shootings

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:22:28 GMT

Late in the City Lights Theater Company world premiere production of “Toxic,” former student Jessie takes her fellow high school alums through a harrowing moment when she witnessed a popular teacher gunned down just feet from where she now stood. The recollection is a crushing reminder of how innocent lives can shatter in a split-second.It’s a brilliant morsel delivered with loads of vicious, raw details that are all too commonplace in today’s America, in which young students are forced to live with the trauma of code red drills due to the staggering failure by those in power to curtail the epidemic of gun violence at our schools and elsewhere.But despite instances where the cast of 11 actors share their agency, “Toxic” feels unfocused, diving and darting through lots of hot-button topics but never really remaining in one place long enough to parse timely truths about our current, repugnant reality.Playwright Kit Wilder’s intention of crafting an explosive narrative often buckles un...

Newcastle marks return to Europe’s elite with 0-0 draw at dominant Milan in Champions League opener

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:22:28 GMT

MILAN (AP) — Newcastle marked its return to Europe’s elite with a 0-0 draw at AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday, despite being completely dominated at San Siro.A combination of good saves by Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope and wayward finishing by Milan saw the visitors pick up a point in the club’s first Champions League match in 20 years.“Hopefully we can grow from this into the tournament,” Newcastle coach Eddie Howe said. “I praise the players for their defensive qualities that they showed today. We know we can do better with the ball but hopefully that will come.“I thought (Pope) was outstanding today … he was a huge part of our success last year and no doubt he’ll be vitally important to us again this year.”Milan, which reached the semifinals last season, should have put the match to bed in the first half and the seven-time champion will perhaps rue its missed opportunities, with Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund also in Group F.“We completely controlled...

How PrEP can provide up to 100% protection against HIV

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:22:28 GMT

This content is sponsored by MedStar Washington Hospital Center.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1.2 million people in the U.S. had HIV at the end of 2021. Although HIV infections have decreased in recent years, progress is not necessarily equal.Dr. Rachel Scott, a practicing obstetrician/gynecologist at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, said various factors affect HIV infections.“There [are] so many issues in terms of gender inequity, and inequities related to race and economics that play into HIV acquisition in this country and around the world,” Dr. Scott said. “We tend to see more HIV among marginalized — or historically marginalized communities. So communities of color, disenfranchised communities and communities with lower socio-economic and educational status.”Dr. Scott said in some ways, contracting HIV can have less to do with how many partners or risk factors you have, but rather the geographic prevalence and where you live.“We put so m...

Israeli military raid kills 3 in West Bank. Officials say 4th man killed by Israeli fire in Gaza

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:22:28 GMT

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli troops raided the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank late Tuesday, killing three people and wounding some 30 others, according to Palestinian health officials. A fourth Palestinian was killed by Israeli fire in separate unrest in the Gaza Strip, officials said.The bloodshed in Jenin was the latest in a deadly wave of fighting in the West Bank, where the Israeli military has stepped up its activities over the past year and a half in what it says is an effort to crack down on Palestinian militants. Tensions now appear to be spreading to Gaza.The Israeli army gave few details about the operation in the camp — a stronghold of Palestinian militants where the army often carries out deadly raids. In July, Israel launched its most intense operation in the West Bank in nearly two decades, leaving widespread destruction in the camp.The army said it carried out a rare strike with a suicide drone during the operation, but gave no further information.
