Liverpool Eyeing Move to Sign ‘Superstar’ Amid Contract Decision

ENGLEWOOD – Broncos defensive end Zach Allen apparently suffered a heel injury Friday in practice and was listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Las Vegas. Allen had been listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice and there was no designation of a heel injury. However, he was listed as limited in Friday's workout due to such an injury. The Broncos on Friday listed no injury designation for safety Brandon Jones, who missed last Sunday's 38-6 win over Atlanta with an abdomen issue. So, he will return against the Raiders. The Broncos also announced that wide receiver Josh Reynolds will not be activated off the injured list and linebacker Drew Sanders won't be activated off the physically unable to perform list (PUP) for Sunday's game after both had been full participants all week in practice. Reynolds suffered a fractured finger Oct. 6 against the Raiders and sustained minor injuries as a victim of an Oct. 18 shooting in Denver. Sanders has been on the PUP list all season after suffering a torn Achilles tendon in a workout last April. The Raiders listed as out cornerbacks Jakorian Bennett (shoulder) and Nate Hobbs (ankle), as doubtful running backs Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) and as questionable tight end Harrison Bryant (ankle), center Andre James (ankle), cornerback Jack Jones (back) and guard Cody Whitehair (ankle).More unsettled weather bringing wet and windy conditions is expected in the coming days, Met Éireann has forecast.

Gaetz withdraws as Trump's pick for attorney general, averting confirmation battle in the Senate WASHINGTON (AP) — Matt Gaetz has withdrawn as Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general following scrutiny over a federal sex trafficking investigation. The Florida Republican made the announcement Thursday. Gaetz’s withdrawal is a blow to Trump’s push to install steadfast loyalists in his incoming administration and the first sign that Trump could face resistance from members of his own party. Trump said in a social media post that Gaetz “did not want to be a distraction for the Administration.” Gaetz said “it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work" of the transition team. He added, “There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle.” Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content. Please enable it in your browser settings.

Apple Cash: How to use it to send and receive moneyFifty years ago this month I moved to Sacramento and a few months later, just after Jerry Brown became governor, began covering politics for the long-defunct Sacramento Union newspaper. I have lived in five different homes — soon to be six — and my workplaces have always been in downtown Sacramento, near the Capitol. That experience, plus research for my 1985 book on California megatrends, forms the background of some observations about the Sacramento region’s evolution. So here goes: In 1974 the six-county region (Sacramento, Yolo, Yuba, Placer, Sutter and El Dorado) was home to barely a million people. However it was on the cusp of explosive growth, as was the entire state, thanks to a wave of migration and a baby boom. Today the region has about 2.5 million residents, making it the nation’s 28th largest metropolitan region, equal to the Las Vegas and Austin, Texas areas. Much of the growth has been in Sacramento’s suburbs, so the city now contains just a fifth of the region’s population and has ceased to be its economic center, while jobs and businesses have flourished in the suburbs. As the local economy evolved from state and federal government employment — including four large military bases — into technology and other fields, voters had two opportunities to merge the city with what were mostly unincorporated communities in Sacramento County. Merger would have made Sacramento the nation’s seventh or eighth largest city, with the economic and cultural clout that comes with size. But voters rejected both proposals, one in 1974, the other in 1990, and several suburbs incorporated into cities. The consolidation failures reflected historic economic and political conflicts between the city and its suburbs which today still undermine cooperative policymaking and are visible in chaotic responses to the ever-growing homelessness crisis and the perpetual wrangling over transportation issues. Glen Sparrow, who headed the 1974 consolidation effort, later blamed Sacramento’s “civic gentry” — its long-dominant families — for torpedoing its passage because they didn’t want Sacramento to grow. The 1990 effort died because suburban voters saw city officials as incompetent ideologues, while Sacramento’s dominant Democrats feared that suburban Republicans would take control. The failures blocked the city from controlling development outside its borders, and its downtown commercial district, once full of department stores, withered. It regained some momentum after the Sacramento Kings downtown basketball arena opened in 2016. But the proliferation of homeless encampments, a fatal gang shootout, a violent demonstration and the pandemic, which emptied state offices, erased much of that progress. Meanwhile city government has become a model of dysfunction, with officials squabbling over mundane issues, chronic budget deficits and ceaseless conflicts with the county government, particularly over homelessness. The lack of cohesion means that Sacramento has flubbed opportunities to gain status among metro regions. Two examples involve its unique positioning at the juncture of two major rivers, the Sacramento and the American. Local officials blocked a canal that would have connected the Sacramento River to the channel that carries ocean-going ships to a Yolo County port and its lake, thereby missing an opportunity for spectacular waterfront development a la Southern California’s Marina del Rey. While the city is redeveloping an old railyard adjacent to downtown, it could have done something truly special by redirecting some American River water through canals, emulating San Antonio’s famous Riverwalk. A third is a failure to fully capitalize on the closure of McClellan Air Force Base in the 1990s. While the base has undergone a workable conversion to civilian use, its unique facilities also could have become another campus of the California Polytechnic State University, fueling off-campus technology businesses. Regions prosper when they have united and visionary leadership — such as North Carolina’s Research Triangle. Sacramento lacks that vision.
