SANTA CLARA — Christian McCaffrey’s first training camp with the 49ers could be a springboard toward franchise history, as well as NFL milestones.“Everybody knows where our head is at, from the top down,” McCaffrey said at spring workouts. “We know what we want to accomplish and where we want to go.”The 49ers report to camp today among the NFC favorites to reach the Super Bowl. Individually, he’s just as strong a candidate for the NFL record book.McCaffrey instantly proved himself an offensive catalyst last season, when the Stanford product returned to the Bay Area in an October trade from Carolina. He spiked Kyle Shanahan’s offense with more multi-dimensional flavor, in a traditionally run-oriented scheme that suddenly piled up points any way possible.Appreciative of his time in Carolina, McCaffrey came to the 49ers as a perfect fit.“When you commit to a team, you’re part of something that’s bigger than yourself,” McCaffrey said in May. “In hindsight, I firm...Detached house sells in Oakland for $1.6 million

There’s been a lot of progress to accommodate people with disabilities in Maryland, but there is still more room for improvement — including what to do about the nationwide shortage of service dogs.Disability advocacy groups from across the state held a meeting Monday afternoon about the important and essential animals that help those with disabilities. The forum, in honor of Disability Pride Month, aimed to educate the public about the growing use of service animals in the state.On whether the public was more aware of service dogs and other animals these days, Mid-Atlantic ADA Center associate director Nancy Horton said, “It is getting easier out in public than what it used to be 10 years ago.”While these animals are integral parts of many daily activities, advocates in the meeting pointed out that access for these lifesaving companions can still be improved.For example, some buildings in the state restrict animal access or charge extra fees for pets.“These ...Seguidores chinos elogian a “Barbie” como una rara oportunidad de ver el feminismo en la pantalla grande

El sábado, fue brevemente el tema de mayor tendencia en la plataforma china Weibo, similar a Twitter, y obtuvo más de 630 millones de visitas.“Barbie” domina la t...Latest news
