SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers have gotten off to shaky starts to the season too often under coach Kyle Shanahan.After a training camp dominated by a lengthy contract holdout from the team’s best defensive player Nick Bosa, the trading away of the former future franchise quarterback Trey Lance and the rehabilitation of the starting QB Brock Purdy, there were questions about whether that could change this season.Considered those answered.The Niners opened the season in dominating fashion, going on the road to overwhelm the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-7 on Sunday in a performance that showed why San Francisco is once again considered one of the leading contenders in the NFC. “It was exactly how we wanted to come out,” All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner said. “It was an emphasis on, you know, past seasons, us coming out with slow starts. We knew that we needed to come in and set the tone right from the jump.”The 49ers (1-0) led 20-0 before allowing the Steelers to gene...5 claves del proyecto de presupuesto para el último año del sexenio de López Obrador

A state of emergency has been declared in Leominster and a flash flood emergency is in place for the surrounding area as heavy rains continue to batter the region.

Cedric Mullins waited for the pitch to break, then turned and unloaded. As the ball floated high through the air, some fans flung their arms up, unable to wait until it dropped over the right field fence.With one swift swing, Mullins had doubled the Orioles’ run total and given them an 8-5, fifth-inning lead over the visiting St. Louis Cardinals in the first of a seven-game homestand. The next inning, rookie Gunnar Henderson added on himself by hammering a 422-foot solo shot — his 25th home run of the season.On a night when Orioles starter Dean Kremer had a poor showing, the Orioles shined everywhere else: The offense picked up the slack, the bullpen — which remains without injured closer Félix Bautista — took care of business, and the defense was strong, highlighted by an outstanding diving catch by defensive replacement Austin Hays in the eighth.With the 11-5 victory, the Orioles improved to 91-52 and lowered their magic number to clinch a playoff spot...‘Life-threatening’ flash flooding in Leominster, Fitchburg; ‘turn around, don’t drown’

By SAMY MAGDY (Associated Press)CAIRO (AP) — Mediterranean storm Daniel caused devastating floods in Libya that broke dams and swept away entire neighborhoods in multiple coastal towns in the east of the North African nation. As many as 2,000 people were feared dead, one of the country’s leaders said Monday.The destruction appeared greatest in Derna, a city formerly held by Islamic extremists in the chaos that has gripped Libya for more than a decade and left it with crumbling and inadequate infrastructure. Libya remains divided between two rival administrations, one in the east and one in the west, each backed by militias and foreign governments. The confirmed death toll from the weekend flooding stood at 61 as of late Monday, according to health authorities. But the tally did not include Derna, which had become inaccessible, and many of the thousands missing there were believed carried away by waters after two upstream dams burst.
