Jose Suarez can’t stay perfect, but Angels win
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Jose Suarez kept the Texas Rangers and the Angel Stadium crowd on their toes in his final start of the season. That bid ended with the leadoff batter in the seventh, Marcus Semien, but the Angels beat Texas 3-2 for their sixth consecutive victory. Semien hit Suarez’s first pitch, a changeup, for a single that rolled into left field. David Fletcher hit a single, then Kurt Suzuki — the starting catcher for his final Angels home game — was hit by a pitch. Suzuki drove in the Angels’ first run in the second inning on a run-scoring single for his 730th career RBI.

After UCLA upset Washington, stop ignoring the Bruins
I think I told y’all on Monday, see if Washington can run with us, not the other way around. UCLA linebacker JonJon Vaughns high-steps downfield with teammates after intercepting a pass from Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. on Friday at the Rose Bowl. (Gina Ferazzi / Los Angeles Times)In their first game against a credible Power Five opponent, the Bruins hurdled skepticism like Thompson-Robinson leaped over a stunned Washington defender. They allowed 410 total yards, but much of that was gained after the Bruins had taken their big lead. UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (1) leaps over Washington linebacker Kamren Fabiculanan (13) on Friday at the Rose Bowl.

How 22 NFL players lost weight after retiring and became unrecognizable
Tony Bergstrom, an offensive lineman who has played for 5 teams in 10 years hasn't retired yet, but already has a plan for when he does. Tony Bergstrom Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesBergstrom told WaPo: "I have the diet plan already written out. Offensive linemen go one of two ways: You either balloon up or you shrink to nothing. Three months later, you'll see a whole different person. I'll come walking in and you'll be like, I don't know who that is."

Under the influence: Food bloggers can make or break restaurants
This is the food influencer effect -- or, what it can be. But the general consensus among the half-dozen food influencers interviewed for this story is that consumers don't care if -- and probably assume -- the food is free. Though Rodriguez and Ahaiwe won't knock a restaurant's food, there are plenty of influencers who will. Today's food influencer further democratizes food media with posts that sometimes feel like the creators are sitting across the table from you. Hernandez estimates that $1 out of every $5 made at his restaurants goes to marketing, which includes the fee and free food given to influencers.

‘Cut It Out!’ Science’s Bill Nye and CNN’s Jim Acosta Lash Out at Republicans, Tucker Carlson Over Climate Change
Area Science Guy Bill Nye and CNN anchor Jim Acosta took turns scolding Republicans and Tucker Carlson over climate change amid the devastation of Hurricane Ian. On Saturday afternoon’s edition of CNN Newsroom With Jim Acosta, Nye took aim at Republicans who he claims are in thrall to a denialist base, and at a Tucker Carlson segment that he says “cherry-picked” hurricane data to mislead viewers. And I just, when people ask me, what can we do about climate change, there’s all sorts of things we can do. Obviously, climate change is making these hurricanes more ferocious, more deadly, more costly. Again, Bill Nye, he’s the host of The End is Nye.

15 of the best places to see fall leaves near the Bay Area
Poimiroo's website provides the most up-to-date information on fall foliage conditions throughout the state. Mono, Plumas and Inyo counties are your best bets for seeing the changing fall colors of native California trees in the Eastern Sierra. Phillip Reedy/CaliforniaFallColor.comNext on his list is the area around June and Mammoth lakes in Mono County, which has rugged granite canyons to contrast with golden-orange-crimson fall leaves. Poimiroo recommends Golden Gate Park at the Japanese Tea Garden or San Francisco Botanical Garden, or Tilden Park in Berkeley. Darrell Sano, Courtesy California Fall ColorFinally, the vineyards of California are another great Bay Area option.

The regular season ends Wednesday followed by five off days with the Dodgers relegated to intrasquad games. After resting Thursday, the Dodgers will play intrasquad games the next three days. The Rockies were outscored in the World Series 29-10.

The Power of Brief Mental Health Therapies
Research has shown that even short interventions — targeted, time-limited programs to improve thinking and behavior at critical moments — can have significant benefits. Dr. Jobs led a study published in the Journal of Psychiatry in 2017 that included 148 US military personnel who reported suicidal thoughts. Chronic pain is another problem that has been shown to respond well to short interventions. In a study published in Nature in 2021 involving more than 4,000 students, he and his colleagues discovered that online training was associated with fewer mental health symptoms, even during Covid lockdowns. The growing body of evidence for success with short interventions shows that mental health and psychotherapy should not be considered in terms of all or nothing.

It’s important that all areas of the district be represented on the KISD school board. Making the switch will encourage a more diverse group of candidates to run. Limiting residents to voting only for their district race could discourage turnout. Residency requirements for candidates may reduce the number of contested races. Philosophically, it makes good sense, but it could bring some challenges.

Dogs can sniff out stress on owner’s breath
Scientists guess the dog’s sense of smell is somewhere around 100,000 times more acute than ours, the reason being the huge number of scent receptors. We trained four dogs, all of which were pets whose owners volunteered them for the task, to “choose” one of three scent canisters. Smell is the primary sense that dogs use to take in their surroundings. Each can hold a sample of the subject’s sweat or breath from either before or after the experiment, depending on whether or not the subject’s blood pressure and heart rate had also increased. Treo, Fingal, Soot, and Winnie were all given their favorite canine snack if they were able to maintain their position of either standing or sitting in front of the “stressed” sample without moving.
