Editor’s note: Sixth in a series previewing the Broncos’ position groups entering training camp. Today, the defensive line.On the roster (11): Zach Allen, Elijah Garcia, Jonathan Harris, Matt Henningsen, Jordan Jackson, D.J. Jones, Tyler Lancaster, P.J. Mustipher, Haggai Ndubuisi, Mike Purcell, Eyioma Uwazurike.How many on the 53?: Five or six.Most impactful offseason move: Signing Zach Allen and losing Dre’Mont Jones.Denver lost Jones via free agency but agreed to a lucrative three-year deal with Allen on the first day of negotiations in March. The Broncos think they’re getting an ascending player in the 25-year-old who recorded 5.5 sacks, 10 tackles for loss and 20 quarterback hits in 13 games last year. Allen also has the benefit of having played for defensive coordinator Vance Joseph the past four seasons in Arizona. He’ll be counted on to not just be a disruptive player, but also a mentor for a group that’s got several young players.Biggest question to answer in camp: Are the s...

Whether rain or a leaky pipe, water is the likely culprit in Southern California landslide

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:36:25 GMT

Residents won’t know what triggered the landslide that destroyed 12 homes in Rolling Hills Estates until a geological engineering firm completes a probe slated to begin this week. But while there’s no clear smoking gun, as of yet, history — and the natural geology of the Palos Verdes Peninsula — all point to one leading suspect: water.Whether from heavy rainfall, or an undiscovered leaky pipe, almost all of the landslides on the Palos Verdes Peninsula have been caused by water weakening the clay layers weaving through the region’s bedrock, says El Hachemi Bouali, an assistant professor of geosciences at Nevada State University.“This weak clay is widespread across the entire Peninsula,” said Bouali, who along with two others published a research paper in 2019 that used radar and GPS to expand maps tracking subsurface instability in the area.A sudden burst of water, such as a water main break, could create a landslide, but so could prolonged rainfall, or a tiny leak from a damaged poo...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:36:25 GMT

Q. My wife is in the mid-stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Unfortunately, her memory continues to decline and she slowly is becoming isolated. She relies on others for conversation, speaking very little and cannot be left alone. Would having a dog be a comfort to her or even lessen some of her symptoms? Many thanks. D.J. Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia is demanding and often consuming of one’s time and energy. This disease is progressive with no agreed-upon cause or cure. Yet we have some encouragement with a newly approved drug that slows its progression but just for a period of time. The cure cannot come fast enough as an estimated 6.7 million Americans age 65 and older are reported to have this brain disease in 2023. So, what can we do in the meantime? Having a pet seems to help. The Alzheimer’s Association reports that animal therapy can help people navigate dementia. The Alzheimer’s Association cites several studies that evaluate the impa...
