Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is hit by Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Yaya Diaby after throwing a pass in the second half of the Chargers’ 40-17 loss Sunday at SoFi Stadium. (Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times) Dec. 15, 2024 4:38 PM PT When the SoFi Stadium lights went dark to begin a hype video in the middle of the fourth quarter, hundreds of fans streamed toward the exits.

Entering Week 15 as one of three 8-5 teams in playoff position, the Chargers (8-6) gave up a season-high in yards (506) and points to fall behind the Baltimore Ravens and the Denver Broncos in the playoff standings. After losing consecutive games for just the second time this season, the Chargers have to regroup quickly for a critical AFC West matchup against the Broncos on Thursday at SoFi Stadium.

Police Department, the stabbing was reported at about 1:22 p.m. Sunday in the 7900 block of Mammoth Avenue in Panorama City. Police said a man stabbed the woman before fleeing the scene. The woman was in unknown condition as of Sunday afternoon. The suspect, identified only as a white man, was later taken into custody Sunday afternoon.

Actor and comedian Jamie Foxx made an indirect reference Sunday to a reported attack on him by another customer at a popular Beverly Hills restaurant, insisting in a social media post that he is “too blessed to be stressed.” “The devil is busy… but I’m too blessed to be stressed” Foxx posted early Sunday on Instagram. “The devil is a lie,” the post continued. “Can’t win here… thank you to everybody that pray and check on me… when your light is shining bright… they try to bring you darkness — but they don’t know that you’re built for it… the lights have been shining bright… and huge thank yous to everyone that have watched and been inspired by “What Had Happened Was” … number 1 on @netflix if you haven’t checked it out please go check it out it’s from my heart and my soul.” Officers were dispatched at about 10:10 p.m. Friday to Mr. Chow at 344 N. Camden Drive, to a reported possible assault with a deadly weapon, the Beverly Hills Police Department reported. “Upon investigation, officers determined that the reported assault with

Mark A. Murphy, former mayor and councilmember of the City of Orange, died at his home on Thursday night, the city announced. In a post to social media, the city said that Murphy died during an unspecified “medical emergency.” He was first elected to the city council in 1993 and mayor in 2000. Murphy was born in Orange, and lived there until his death. “I’m saddened to learn of the passing of our dear friend Mark Murphy, a pillar of Orange who devoted his career to giving back to our community,” said Rep. Young Kim. “Sending my deepest condolences to his loved ones as the Orange community comes together to remember his lasting impact.” While serving the city, Murphy also worked full-time at Hewlett-Packard for more than 30 years. Mark is survived by his wife Vikki and mother Lois.

It’s the aim of NFL officials to essentially go unnoticed. When a game is over, they want fans and pundits to be talking about the action on the field, not the people in stripes and whistles. Jim Tunney and Al Jury lived — and thrived — by those standards. The two giants of their profession died recently, and the absence of the two Southern Californians is deeply felt in the officiating world. Tunney, who at 95 was the oldest living retired referee, died Thursday at his home in Pebble Beach, Calif. He had been the NFL’s youngest game official when he was hired as a 30-year-old field judge in 1960 and in the ensuing decades was in stripes for some of the most memorable games in league history. Jury died at 83 in San Bernardino, his hometown, and was regarded as one of the NFL’s premier downfield officials. He worked a record-tying five Super Bowls and almost certainly would have been on the field for more had he not suffered a career-ending broken leg during a game in 2003. When he wasn’t officiating games, Jury

Three large dogs attacked and fatally injured their owner at a neighborhood park in San Diego on Friday, officials said. The man was not identified. A second victim who suffered “serious bite injuries while trying to assist the first victim” was taken to a hospital and was recovering, officials said. All three dogs were euthanized Saturday, according to Nina Thompson, a spokeswoman for the San Diego Humane Society, which contracts with the city to help police handle animal incidents. Thompson said the animals’ DNA had not been tested, making their breed uncertain. However, a second owner told officials that the animals had been purchased as “XL bullies” — a large, powerful bull mix that has been banned in other countries. The San Diego Police Department, which responded to the attack, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Thompson, in a statement provided to the Times, said Humane Society law enforcement officers responded to Mesa Viking Neighborhood Park in Mira Mesa at 12:13 p.m. Friday after receiving an “urgent call for assistance” from the San Diego police. The Humane Society and police officers were able

Waltz: Orbán “clearly has a good relationship with Trump” Waltz says Orbán “clearly has a good relationship with Trump,” key to Ukraine diplomacy 10:59 A series of mysterious drone sightings around the East Coast has lawmakers grasping for solutions to an unfamiliar problem and federal agencies “pointing at each other” to figure out what’s going on, Trump’s likely incoming national security adviser said Sunday.  “We need to know who’s behind it,” said Rep. Mike Waltz, a Republican from Florida who is President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for national security adviser. “But right now, I think law enforcement seems to be…the Department of Homeland Security and the Defense Department are kind of doing this and pointing at each other.” Speaking on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan ” on Sunday, Waltz said he believes the drone issue — which sparked outcry and demands for answers from civilians and leaders alike — highlights lapses in authority between local law enforcement and federal agencies like the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security. “I think Americans are finding it hard to believe we can’t figure out where these

Dec. 15, 2024 12:50 PM PT 1 For the season’s first month, Skyy Clark did things that pleased his coach and quietly helped win games. On Saturday, his contributions moved to the forefront of a thrilling comeback. Clark calmly made two free throws with 6.1 seconds left during No. 24 UCLA’s 57-54 victory over Arizona at the Footprint Center, a fitting bookend to the junior guard’s best performance as a Bruin. The transfer from Louisville broke out of a seasonlong shooting slump, making his first three three-pointers after entering the game having made only six of 22 tries (27.3%) from long range. He made five of nine shots overall on the way to a season-high 15 points, the first time he reached double figures this season. Clark also had a steadying influence on the offense on a day that point guard Dylan Andrews finished with three turnovers and no assists. Clark’s effort to chase down a rebound in the corner before being fouled was critical with the Bruins holding a one-point lead in the final seconds. “Skyy made a great play on the offensive rebound

Mike Waltz , the Florida Republican who is Donald Trump’s pick for his national security adviser , said Sunday that the president-elect has a good relationship with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán , who he said also has “regular engagement” with Russia amid its war with Ukraine.  “Orbán has regular engagement with the Russians, and he clearly has a good relationship with President Trump,” Waltz said on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.” “I would hope the entire world would want to see some type of cessation to the slaughter that is happening in eastern Ukraine.” Orbán, an authoritarian leader with ties to Russia, met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago last week, along with Waltz and Elon Musk. Days after the meeting, Orbán announced that he had spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that “we are taking every possible diplomatic step to argue in favor

“You sound like a poet.” When Nikki Giovanni uttered these words in January 2007 at the end of a two-hour interview, she shifted my life’s focus from covering the news to making art with it. Her matter-of-fact declaration offered me what she gave millions of readers, students and fellow artists for nearly 60 years: faith. On that day, I followed Nikki’s careful instructions to type and collate the lines of poetry I’d scrawled in composition books and notepads for years and leave the rest to her. Less than three months later, I confronted my fear of my artistic shortcomings and chose faith in what I could accomplish outside that Atlanta newsroom, enrolling in the nascent MFA program at Virginia Tech, where Nikki — always, she insisted, just Nikki — was a distinguished creative writing professor for more than three decades. I accepted admission on April 16, the day that Tech — and the world — was stunned by horrific violence committed by a student Nikki had banned from her class. While reporting about that student killing 32 Hokies and himself and wounding 17, I decided

President-elect Donald Trump has tapped several Californians — including former San Joaquin Valley congressman Devin Nunes — for posts in his next administration. Nunes, a Republican and former dairy farmer from Tulare, resigned his House seat after nearly two decades in 2022 to become chief executive of Trump Media & Technology Group, which is the parent company of the president-elect’s Truth Social platform. On Saturday, Trump announced on the platform that he had selected Nunes to serve as chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board. The board “exists exclusively to provide the President with an independent source of advice” on intelligence matters, and “has access to all information necessary to perform its functions,” according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Its members do not require Senate confirmation. Trump wrote that Nunes would use his experience as former chair of the House Intelligence Committee “and his key role in exposing the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax” to provide Trump with “independent assessments of the effectiveness and propriety” of actions taken by the U.S. intelligence agencies. Nunes was a staunch ally of Trump throughout the

The fundraiser was broadcast live by NBC Palm Springs from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, and raised $79,710 in donations.

Corona del Mar State Beach in Newport Beach (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times) Dec. 15, 2024 10:51 AM PT Newport Beach police rescued the driver of an SUV that was found submerged in the ocean at Corona del Mar State Beach early Saturday morning, officials said.

Newport Beach police arrived about 5:30 a.m. and rescued the individual from the vehicle, officials said. The person, who was not identified, was taken to a hospital for evaluation and treatment. Public works employees used heavy equipment to remove the Jeep from the water so that it could be towed away. “The teamwork and determination of all responders were critical in overcoming the hazards posed by the early morning surf,” fire officials said in a social media post. Police are continuing to investigate, including how the SUV ended up in the surf.
