It was kind of a dream come true to work with him. It was awesome.”Marleau was back on that familiar sheet of ice this week, the one he practiced on for over 20 years as he became the Sharks’ all-time leader in games played, goals, and points. But instead of wearing shoulder pads, Marleau, now 43, was wearing a black tracksuit ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:47:08 GMT

(KRON) -- The FBI San Francisco Field Office has identified a new trend in which sexual predators are using "group grooming" tactics to target and groom children for sexual exploitation.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — Before holding his first interview session as a pro, Cavaliers’ second-round draft pick Emoni Bates politely introduced himself to media members.“Emoni,” he said, smiling and extending his hand to meet reporters and camera operators at the team’s training facility.While the surprising gesture showed goodwill and a level of maturity on the part of the 19-year-old, it was hardly necessary.Bates has been well known for a while.Tabbed the “next Kevin Durant” even before he graced the cover of Sports Illustrated as a high school sophomore in Michigan, Bates is no longer trying to live up to the expectations of others and simply following his own path, albeit not the one he imagined.“I just wanted an opportunity,” said Bates, who will debut with Cleveland’s Summer League team in Las Vegas on Friday. “This was my dream since I was 3 years old to get to the NBA.

Eso aumentó la ansiedad y el misterio. “Me picaba, pero nunca en mi vida pensé que fueran chinches”.Una noche después del trabajo, unas dos semanas más tarde, le cruzó por la mente.

Luego volvió a mirar al bicho.“Pensé: ‘No, no puede ser’. Así que lo aparté y no pensé en ello hasta la mañana siguiente, cuando me desperté y vi uno en mi brazo.
