So the NFL wanted to do the Texans and Chargers a solid and give them the national stage to themselves. — Rams at Atlanta in Week 17 isn’t a fantastic Monday night game for Week 17, especially with the Falcons currently at 5-9. But with all the games spread throughout the week of Christmas, there weren’t a lot of great replacement options. So by moving Texans-Chargers to Saturday, both those teams are in play for the two Saturday spots in Week 18. The NFL leaned heavily into Washington after one outstanding season, giving them eight nationally televised games this season.

Linda Becerra Moran, 30, was shot by LAPD officers in February after she reported being held against her will in the motel room as a possible victim of sex trafficking. Shootings by Los Angeles police officers have increased dramatically this year, prompting Mayor Karen Bass to issue a statement Friday that said she is “deeply concerned” and seeking an explanation. The uptick in LAPD shootings comes despite crime rates in the city continuing to fall, and with officers registering fewer interactions with members of the public than in previous years. When The Times contacted the Sheriff’s Department this week, a spokesperson emailed the agency’s complete shooting numbers the next day. A Times database of LAPD shootings found that roughly 1 in 4 shootings involved a person with an edged weapon.

LOS ANGELES — A high-profile after-action report from the Los Angeles Fire Department on last January's Palisades Fire went through several drafts that minimized the department's failings both before and after the deadly blaze broke out, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday. The final report said the LAFD "balanced fiscal responsibility with proper preparation for predicted weather and fire behavior by following the LAFD predeployment matrix." The LAFD did not comment for The Times story, and did not immediately respond to a request for comment from City News Service on Saturday. Despite the revisions, the final report was still critical of the LAFD, finding that the agency's response to the unfolding disaster was hampered by limited resources and leadership and communication challenges. One of the most destructive wildfires in Los Angeles history, it burned 23,448 acres and destroyed much of the exclusive Pacific Palisades community, destroying about 6,800 structures and killing 12 people.

Walking can quiet an overactive amygdala, lower cortisol and adrenaline levels, and boost the amount of feel-good endorphins in your body, Lurie explained.

But the gathering economic storm is unlikely to bring President Vladimir Putin to the negotiation table anytime soon to end the war in Ukraine. “Russian soldiers today are paid more than any Russian soldier in the history of Russian soldiers,” RUSI’s Connolly said. Some of Russia’s more deprived areas have experienced an uplift during the war, in part because of huge pay checks going to Russian soldiers and their families. “They (Russian oil producers) are rerouting oil exports through smaller Russian companies… That is all costing a lot of money,” she said. If that is combined with stronger sanctions enforcement and increased pressure on India and China to stop buying Russian oil, the Kremlin could eventually change its calculus, she argued.
