One man pulled alive from landslide in Shenzhen, China
Among the 75 people still listed as missing, 50 are men and 25 are women, Shenzhen Vice Mayor Liu Qingsheng said on Tuesday. One government report found the dump site to be unstable as early as January, and warned of a pending “catastrophe”.
“It’s a sick feeling because we understood how good we were back in training camp, but we took too long to show it”, defensive end Darryl Tapp said. “We got in a great tempo, we were able to run the ball with success”. Johnson could be entering his final home game with the Lions, as there is a possibility he is let go in the offseason due to his sizable contract. They drove 80 yards in 11 plays, culminating with a 1-yard touchdown pass from Gabbert to Vance McDonald, for the 49ers’ first offensive touchdown in the first quarter this year.

Is Santa on your radar this Christmas?
A 1955 newspaper advertisement for Sears Roebuck and Co. listed a phone number for “kiddies” to call Santa Claus but got it wrong. The website is available in eight languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Chinese.
Caldwell dodged questions about his future and deflected credit for his team’s recent success. Overall, they didn’t play poorly, but once again, the coaching staff is letting the team down with its inability to keep the team competitive for 60 minutes on the road. Since then Matthew Stafford has found his rhythm and the Lions have discovered a running game. The drive was twice aided by 49ers neutral zone infractions (by Arik Armstead and Tony Jerod-Eddie). Given that San Francisco has the league-low average time of possession of 26:28, look for the Lions to be in charge this week. Phil Dawson tied the game before Prater hit another field goal as the first half ended, increasing the lead to 20-17.
Yet San Francisco’s offense went stagnant in the second half, which left the defense exposed and overworked.
“For the life of me, I can’t give you an excuse”, Tomsula said.
Harris had some impressive first-half carries before Detroit’s defense largely contained him in the second half. Gabbert finished 22 of 33 for 225 yards.
But a lapse in coverage would allow Detroit to run four plays for 65-yards before Prater would convert his second attempt of the day from 38-yards out to give his team a 3-point lead at the half.
Not looking to waste any time in getting him involved, Gabbert looked to Boldin on the game’s opening play, connecting with the veteran for his 1000th reception of his illustrious career.
San Francisco’s Anquan Boldin became the 13th National Football League player with 1,000 career receptions on the first play of the game.
Both teams will miss out on the Playoffs for another season, however, the Detroit Lions will feel in a much better place than the 49ers at this point. “I’d rather take the win”, Boldin said after the 49ers’ 32-17 loss Sunday at Detroit.

“DuJuan came in, stepped up, ran the ball well”, 49ers quarterback Blaine Gabbert said. Harris, five days after being signed, racked up 74 rushing yards in the first half and rarely got into the second half (two carries, minus-1 yard).
