If customers aren’t drawn in by CBD’s anti-inflammatory benefits, chances are they want to use CBD to calm their canine’s nerves. Plenty of studies suggest CBD has tremendous anti-anxiety properties for people, so why wouldn’t these effects transfer to dogs?Although there are countless success stories of using CBD oils to reduce pet anxiety, the scientific data on this topic is relatively low. While this doesn’t mean CBD can’t be effective for helping dogs de-stress, pet owners must recognize there are many unanswered questions about using CBD for this purpose.How Effective Is CBD Oil for Pet Anxiety?To be frank, most of the studies looking into CBD for dog anxiety haven’t been super impressive. For instance, one study out of the University of Kentucky examined whether CBD affected a dog’s response to loud fireworks. In this trial,...

Death Lens on Fontaines DC: Bryan Torres of East L.A. alt-punk band Death Lens told us about his Fontaines D.C. experience.Bryan Torres: Fontaines D.C. came and played at the Regent Theater in May of 2022. I was always of fan of their music, but did not expect their performance to be so explosive. As they came out, I was expecting them to just perform and listen without any commotion since their music is more on the slow or less aggressive side.As soon as they came out Grian Chatten came ready to put on a show as he swayed around the stage, holding the mic stand and singing all his songs with power and a sense of poise that Ian Curtis gave back in the ’80s. He had this way of him that made me jealous of how good he was as a front man. It made me realized that even slow songs can come with a punch and that songs do not have to be played the same as the record.His movements, his connection with the crowd and the unison his band had that night really push me to mold the boys we h...

At 23, Lucy Rushton broke into English football’s boys club. Now she’s building the Bay Area’s women’s soccer team

LOS ALTOS — Lucy Rushton, fresh out of a master’s program in sports performance analysis, arrived at her 2007 meeting at Reading Football Club looking for a job with her hometown team.Nick Hammond thought she wanted an autograph.The 23-year-old Englishwoman didn’t look much different than many of the kids who would approach Hammond, a former goalkeeper for Reading who spent some time in the English Premier League.“There were not a lot of females in that area (of data analysis),” Hammond, then the club’s director of football, said by phone this week. “It’s the truth…I thought it was a young girl asking me for an autograph. And then she introduced herself as Lucy and it put me back a bit. But we started chatting.“Two hours later, I thought to myself, ‘She’s perfect.’”Fifteen years later, Rushton still can’t believe her luck that a sport once run entirely by men, most of whom once played at the highest level, gave her a chance to begin a career that eventually led to her hi...

After Draymond Green suspension, the clock on this Warriors season (and beyond) starts now

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:37:13 GMT

LOS ANGELES — The clock on this Warriors season, and perhaps the dynasty, started before the Warriors’ loss to the Clippers on Thursday.Specifically at around 5 p.m. Pacific Time — when news broke of Draymond Green’s indefinite suspension. The seismic decision shook the NBA world, prompting pundits and talking heads to declare the Steph Curry era dead and bid good riddance to Green.Inside Warriors land, the suspension was just another domino to fall. Add it to an ever-growing list of ways the Warriors’ season hasn’t gone at all by their own book. The team isn’t pinning this 10-14 start on Green alone, but seem to have pinned it as an evaluation starting point.What happens in the next month could determine whether this roster can get it together for a realistic playoff run, or if Dunleavy will be taking advantage of the expiring contracts as the Feb. 9 trade deadline. Is there enough good to retool, take a step back and run again? Or is it ti...
