Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:00:03 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Unlike its new food offerings or enhanced WiFi network, one upgrade at Oracle Park was installed over the offseason without fanfare. It will likely go unnoticed by fans, but especially on a dark and damp home opener, it wasn’t overlooked by relievers in both bullpens.“It’s so cold out there,” reliever John Brebbia said.“Usually you’re down there with your jacket and beanie,” added lefty Scott Alexander.“I’m hearing rumors of a heated bench,” submariner Tyler Rogers said. “That would be nice, really nice.”Rejoice, relievers: Rogers heard right.A pair of 12-foot heated benches made their debut in the outfield bullpens Friday. Made by the same company that installed the sideline seating at Levi’s Stadium and more than 20 other NFL venues, frigid relievers on both clubs will now be able to plop down and warm up. While many ballparks that deal with weather conditions have climate-controlled rooms in their bullpen...

How do you fly a plane if you suspect a venomous cobra is loose on board?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:00:03 GMT

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — A pilot in South Africa made a hasty emergency landing after discovering a highly venomous cobra under his seat. And then he had to take off again without knowing if the creature was still on the plane.Rudolf Erasmus had four passengers on board the light aircraft during Monday’s flight out of Worcester when he felt “something cold” slide across his lower back. He glanced down to see the head of a fairly large Cape cobra “receding back under the seat,” he said.“It was as if my brain didn’t know what was going on,” he told the Associated Press.After taking a moment to compose himself, he informed his passengers of the stowaway.“There was a moment of stunned silence,” he said, but everyone stayed cool.Cape cobras, which can grow to about 5 feet, are one of Africa’s most dangerous cobra species because of the potency of their venom.Erasmus called air traffic control for permission to make an emergency landing in the town of Welkom, in central ...

SAN JOSE — A new and modern hotel with a high-profile brand could sprout in a San Jose industrial district a short distance from potential future cricket and soccer facilities, documents on file with city planners show.Fairfield Inn & Suites would be the brand of the new hotel, which would rise at 1669 Monterey Highway in San Jose, a few blocks away from the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds.The economic malaise that infected the lodging industry in the Bay Area and worldwide continues to sicken some hotel markets.But a hotel at this location, the high-profile nature of the Fairfield Inn brand, the property owner’s lodging experience and potential future sports proposals in the vicinity means that the project can make sense, in the view of Erik Schoennauer, a land-use consultant for the project’s developer.“The project applicants are long-time owners of this property and they are in the hotel business,” Schoennauer said. “Redeveloping this with a...
