49ers’s Brock Purdy after the crash and burn: `I have to be real with myself and be better’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:51:44 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Brock Purdy took the post game podium on Christmas night the way he has 14 other times this season. No sign of outward emotion, whether it be euphoria or despair.But a 33-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens at Levi’s Stadium was unlike any Purdy has had in the brief whirlwind that has been his 49ers career.The same guy who had carved up carved up four teams with winning records in one-sided victories, compiling a 141.2 passer rating with 13 touchdown passes and zero interceptions bottomed out with a 42.6 rating with no touchdown passes and four turnovers.A burgeoning Most Valuable Player candidacy was over, not that it ever seemed to matter much to Purdy, who himself backed teammate Christian McCaffrey. He finished 18 of 32 for 255 yards, but that was window dressing to the worst night of his professional career. The worst by a longshot — and it came with the entire country watching.We’ll learn a lot about how the 49ers bounce back the next two week...

A year in, San Jose’s mayor doubts he can hit his homeless housing goals — even with an extension

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:51:44 GMT

Coming up on one year as leader of the 12th-largest city in the United States, Matt Mahan says he’s troubled by the slow pace at which San Jose is building shelter for homeless residents leaving encampments, an effort he made a key focus of his campaign for mayor and one that could define his legacy as he sails into re-election without any political opposition in 2024.The mayor is racing against the clock to meet his goal of getting 1,000 new housing units up and running before June 30 of next year, an objective that was hindered by a battle with other councilmembers during the summer over how homelessness funds were to be allocated and then pushed out six months after city staff said an end-of-year timeline wasn’t feasible.Since his inauguration, Mahan has gone all in on interim-style solutions, which he argues offer the best opportunity to reduce the unsheltered homeless population in San Jose by offering the right balance of stability for those seeking permanent housi...

Share the Spirit: After years in the foster system, a young woman gets a room of her own

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:51:44 GMT

As a child, Jayla Lackaff would often escape to the expansive worlds within her favorite video games to get away from her turbulent reality — the computer screen a wall separating her from the clashes between her mom and stepdad, who were often arguing around her, if not about her.“I was the scapegoat for a lot of things,” Lackaff said.She had no idea at the time that video games would later offer an oasis after she ended up in foster care, or that they would turn into a professional pursuit as she pieced her adult life together with the help of First Place for Youth, a nonprofit based in Oakland that provides housing and case management for people transitioning out of the foster care system and into adulthood.When her parents’ relationship faltered, Lackaff wound end up living elsewhere. Halfway through her freshman year of high school, her mom sent her from their home in San Francisco to live with her aunt in Oregon. When she came back sophomore year, it wasn’t long before h...

Many California undocumented students are missing out on financial aid. An easier, new application could get them more money

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:51:44 GMT

(BCN) -- Each year more than 35,000 undocumented students with dreams of earning a college degree in California apply for the state's marquee financial aid program, the Cal Grant -- but only about a third receive it.With no access to federal financial aid and few work opportunities, losing out on state dollars further undermines the ability of undocumented students to pay for school. The Cal Grant, for example, waives tuition at California's public universities and provides cash awards of about $1,650 to community college students. Tired of the waiting lists for California’s public universities, nursing students increasingly turn to expensive private programs Now, after several years of advocacy and a state law passed this year, California financial aid administrators are about to debut a revised application meant to get more college grants for undocumented students."What we all recognized was that we've asked these students to go through more processes, more forms, unfortunately ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:51:44 GMT

“Ikuzo!” as they’d say in Japan. Or how about “Pojďme!” or ”Útra fel!” in Czech or Hungarian.The roster of Ottawa’s new Professional Women’s Hockey League team has such an array of international talent that defenseman Jincy Roese said one way to spur the bonding experience was having everyone learn how to say “Let’s go!” in various languages.“Oh, my gosh, it’s so cool,” said Roese, a U.S. national team player from O’Fallon, Missouri. “A lot of us are foreigners. I don’t think anyone is local to Ottawa, even. But it’s cool to experience different cultures. … And we just have these conversation point to go off which has really helped foster a good team environment.”The PWHL is awaiting rights clearances to unveil the nicknames of its original six franchises in kicking off its inaugural season starting Jan. 1. For now, perhaps Ottawa can go by “The Ambassadors.”The team features the league’s most diverse roster with 11 Canadians, seven Americans, two Czechs, a German, Hungarian a...
