NEW YORK (AP) — New York City officials are reviewing the city's contracts with Donald Trump after statements the GOP presidential hopeful made about Mexican immigrants. Trump's comments drew condemnation from the Mexican government and companies have been cutting ties to the real estate mogul since he made the comments. The Trump Organization currently operates several city concessions, including a golf course, ice skating rink and carousel.

Luciano Sagastume said he walks past the “Por Vida” mural on the exterior of Galeria de la Raza at 24th and Bryant streets in San Francisco every day, but the first time he saw it he stopped to take it in. The mural, which depicts two queer couples on opposite ends of the wall-sized artwork with a transgender man in the middle, spoke to him. “I had never seen a Latino trans man depicted before,” said Sagastume, a 28-year-old transgender Latino who lives just a few blocks from the gallery. More than 150 members of the community ... Читать дальше...

NBA free agency opens with $1 billion in contracts The first full day of NBA free agency featured skyrocketing salaries and a flurry of moves, though no decision yet from LaMarcus Aldridge. Other players were on the move with salaries soaring ahead of next year’s new TV contracts that might make Wednesday’s action seem tame next summer. “I LUV that the players are bank rolling, capitalize and seize the moment,” Hall of Fame guard and TNT analyst Reggie Miller wrote on Twitter. Trust me the owners and the league are making money... Читать дальше...

MIAMI — Rarely can a team blow a two-run lead in the ninth, lose on a three-run homer off the closer and declare that the evening could have been much worse. The Giants could say just that after Wednesday night’s 6-5 loss to the Marlins, on Justin Bour’s three-run blast off Santiago Casilla. [...] he was alert and seemed fine after taking a foul shot to the mask in the second inning and leaving in the fifth. If Posey cannot play in the series finale Thursday, with the Giants trying to avoid a... Читать дальше...

EDMONTON, Alberta — Laura Bassett scored into her own net during second-half stoppage time, giving Japan a 2-1 victory over England in a Women’s World Cup semifinal. The decisive goal Wednesday came when Japan’s Nahomi Kawasumi drove up the right side and sent a cross into the middle for Yuki Ogimi.

The defending champion advanced to play the United States in the championship game at Vancouver on Sunday. Читать дальше...

Defense has carried U.S. women into Cup final MONTREAL — It used to be that the U.S. women’s national team was known more for its fierce attack. Goalkeeper Hope Solo, beleaguered at the start by new revelations in her domestic-violence case last year, has been nearly perfect with five straight shutouts. Solo is normally focused to the point of almost appearing stern, but the television cameras caught her break into a smile late in the match when it appeared the United States had guaranteed its place in the final.

The ice man cometh to Stephen Vogt’s locker after every game. The A’s catcher says he leads the league in ice, and he doesn’t mean diamonds. Sore feet, residual effects of offseason foot surgery. Sore arm from throwing a couple hundred balls from the squat every day. “Foul tips always find where you’re not protected,” Vogt says. Manager Bob Melvin, a former catcher, says Vogt is a magnetic field for foul tips. At age 30, Vogt this year finally opened a baseball season as a big-leaguer, and... Читать дальше...

A 25-year-old woman died Wednesday when she crashed into another vehicle at Mineta San Jose International Airport, police said. The victim, whose name was not immediately released, was driving a red 2007 Pontiac G5 at high speed when she crashed into a 2010 Audi sport utility vehicle outside a parking structure near Terminal B about 10:30 a.m., authorities said. Five people inside the SUV, including an infant, were taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.

The expertly made “The Hurt Locker” is the lowest-grossing best picture Oscar winner on record. For every action film featuring elite warriors, such as “Zero Dark Thirty” ($132 million and a ton of painful controversy) or “Lone Survivor” (more than tripled its budget with nearly $150 million despite its horrific true story), there is a boatload of bombs — “War, Inc.,” “The Messenger,” “Stop-Loss,” “The Green Zone” ($11 million average). Did “Sniper” make Iraq/Afghanistan movies with nuanced messages safe for audiences? Читать дальше...

Based on the premise “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” this British TV series was once the most watched there. [...] things have changed, and the old Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad will soon be headed toward its final days. Season 11 features three replacement characters (introduced over the past two seasons as the old-timers left, one by one) who have taken on new dramatic strength in the 10 episodes in this set. The new female squad leader (Tamzin Outhwaite, replacing Amanda Redman)... Читать дальше...

Bette Midler was offered the role and turned it down, and rather than find another actress, the producers decided to change the story and make the film about somebody like Janis Joplin, but also a lot like Better Midler. [...] that’s how Midler approaches the musical sections here: Released in 1979, this remains a very good movie. Midler is terrific — dynamic, flashy, needy, vital, lovable and pathetic. Midler, in her later career, had a tendency to get maudlin, at least when she wasn’t being hysterically funny (as in “Ruthless People”). Читать дальше...

Led by Ben Gibbard since its inception in 1998, Death Cab for Cutie is one of the defining bands of the indie rock era. While “Kintsugi” marks the first Death Cab for Cutie album not produced by former guitarist Chris Walla, it represents a continuation of the modern Americana that the band has created with Ben Gibbard’s soft, sweeping voice and the band’s ambitious arrangements. “The Photo Album” (2001): Death Cab for Cutie’s third LP, “The Photo Album” (Barsuk Records), was the first real indicator that this was a great band in the making.

Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech was born in Figueres, Spain, in 1904 to parents Salvador Dalí Cusi, a notary and an atheist, and Felipa Domènech Ferres, a devout Catholic. Dalí’s earliest work, a landscape (no melting pocket watches), was painted in 1914. In the 1920s, Dalí lost his mother to breast cancer. After being admitted to the San Fernando Academy of Art in Madrid, Dalí was expelled after he refused to be tested in art theory and declared his professors incompetent to examine him.

In 1929, he helped Luis Buñuel make “Un Chien Andalou” — famous for the image of a razor blade slicing an eye — and he believed there were three great Surrealists in Hollywood: master of the spectacle Cecil B.

Given a firm hip bump back into the spotlight with a cameo on Daft Punk’s “Random Access Memories,” disco godfather Giorgio Moroder, 75, makes his comeback official with his first album of new material in three decades, “Déja Vu.” [...] the pop producer responsible for dance-floor staples such as Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” and Blondie’s “Call Me” isn’t interested in becoming a fetish item. [...] he pairs up with a variety of contemporary stars — most, not coincidentally, his RCA label-mates ... Читать дальше...

The text is drawn from Rilke’s long poem “The Lay of the Love and Death of Cornet Christopher Rilke,” about an ardent young 17th century soldier, and the music boasts a distinctive blend of Romantic effusion and steely, almost austere contemporaneity. Some of Bielawa’s text-setting — the equestrian tone-painting of the opening “Riding,” or the turbulent song “Storm in the House” — brings Schubert right to mind, and the superbly sonorous performance by baritone Jesse Blumberg and pianist Jocelyn Dueck places it right in that tradition.

Before Alcatraz was what park historian Stephen Haller calls “the most famous prison in the world,” it was a fortress, bristling with guns and complete with a moat, a drawbridge and a sally port, like an ancient castle. On Wednesday, the island’s newly refurbished old guardhouse and sally port entrance to the complex were unveiled with a flourish by Golden Gate National Recreation Area general superintendent Chris Lehnertz. The sally port, which resembles a brick tunnel and was staffed by armed guards for more than a century... Читать дальше...

The Legislature worked until dawn Wednesday trying to resolve policy issues related to the budget and a standoff in the Senate over a voter-approved class-size initiative, plus a few other smaller issues preventing them from adjourning their third special session. The class size initiative, 1351, matters because the $38.2 billion budget signed by the governor just before midnight Tuesday does not include the estimated $2 billion in state dollars needed to hire more teachers and shrink class sizes...

Episcopalians vote to allow same-sex marriage in churches SALT LAKE CITY — Episcopalians overwhelmingly voted Wednesday to allow religious weddings for same-sex couples, solidifying the church’s embrace of gay rights that began more than a decade ago with the pioneering election of the first openly gay bishop. The vote came in Salt Lake City at the Episcopal General Convention, just days after the U.S. Supreme Court legalized gay marriage nationwide. The vote eliminates gender-specific language...

LONDON — Europol, the European police agency based in The Hague, Netherlands, will create a new unit next month to discover and dismantle social media accounts used by Islamist radicals to spread their message and recruit foreigners, the agency announced Wednesday. In March, the Justice and Home Affairs Council of the European Union mandated that Europol establish such a unit to reduce the level and impact of terrorist and violent extremist propaganda on the Internet.
