Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign has scheduled more than a dozen December events featuring the former president as her team prepares for an end-of-year finance deadline ahead of the first contests in Iowa and New Hampshire. The fundraising blitz, Bill Clinton's most aggressive stretch of the year, shows how Hillary Clinton's campaign can multiply her money largesse with the help of her husband, one of the Democratic party's most prolific rainmakers.

A Republican Party that's long taken a law-and-order stance finds itself desperate to improve its standing among minority voters, and Democratic candidates are also being drawn into national conversations on policing, drug crimes and prison costs.

Returning from a historic 6-0 trip, San Jose was a step behind Chicago all night and dropped a 5-2 verdict to the Blackhawks in front of a sellout crowd at SAP Center. “We played really well on the road,” Sharks goalie Martin Jones said. Defenseman Duncan Keith’s wristed a shot from the left boards above the circle that slipped past Jones, who was screened by Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic. The Blackhawks dominated territorial play and the shot counter (11-5) to escape the opening period with a 2-1 lead. Читать дальше...

Hundreds of thousands of Americans will sit down for Thanksgiving dinner Thursday unaware that they owe their very existence to Howland, who almost never even made it to the New World. Howland fell overboard in the middle of the Atlantic during a gale but grabbed a trailing rope and was hauled back aboard by sailors using boat hooks. Howland's descendants include three presidents — Franklin Roosevelt, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush — as well as former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin;... Читать дальше...

Stephen Curry’s fame is so far-reaching these days that the Warriors’ point guard was the sole attraction on a global conference call that was joined by reporters from 19 countries and territories.

The Rev. John P. Schlegel, a former president of the University of San Francisco known for boosting enrollment and spearheading a more diverse campus, died Nov. 15 at the Josie Harper Residence Hospice House in Omaha, Neb., at 72, after a battle with pancreatic cancer. When he started as the 26th president of USF in 1991, he took the campus by storm with his ambitious approach, leading to 7.5 percent increase in enrollment and an increase in diversity from 35 to 45 percent.

Raiders’ Amari Cooper tries to hang on to fine rookie season Amari Cooper barely smiles when he scores touchdowns, so you know the Raiders’ rookie receiver is going to take his case of the drops seriously. When you’re a receiver, you’re supposed to catch the ball. “He’s a good player,” head coach Jack Del Rio said. “Amari is a very prideful guy,” offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave added. “I look back at them to see what I could have done to make the play, and then I just move forward,” Cooper said.

Benjamin scored 25 points, Chris Boucher had 17 points and a school-record nine blocks, and the Ducks rolled to a 91-68 victory over Arkansas State on Wednesday night. The senior's two blocks also helped the Ducks break the school record of 13 for a single game. The former junior college star packs only 190 pounds on his 6-10 frame, but he makes up for his lack of bulk with his length and quickness. Arkansas State kept it close with a 26-17 edge in rebounds as Oregon struggled from 3-point range (3 of 13) and the foul line (7 of 16). Читать дальше...
