WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Paul Ryan is proposing to secure U.S. borders by overhauling the immigration system and installing robust defenses to keep out extremists, criminals and drug cartels. Ryan calls for the use of "high fencing" along border areas, but steers clear of the billionaire candidate's signature issue: building a wall to keep people from illegally entering the United States from Mexico. Ryan said the U.S. has repeatedly failed to eliminate serious vulnerabilities in the immigration system... Читать дальше...

(AP) — Authorities in Northern California said Wednesday they have arrested three teenage boys involved in violent attacks against Donald Trump supporters after a political rally last week in San Jose.

(AP) — They called themselves "The Chain Gang" — a group of bicyclists drawn together by zest for their sport, physical fitness and love of the outdoors whose day trip in the southwestern Michigan countryside ended tragically as a pickup truck plowed into them, killing five and injuring four others.

Somewhere at his house, in a box filled with baseball mementos, Javier Lopez has a selfie he took with David Ortiz.

In the seventh inning of the Giants’ loss Tuesday night to the Red Sox, Lopez threw to his friend for the first time. The at-bat, which ended in a game-tying groundout, brought back a host of memories for Lopez. Читать дальше...

HONOLULU (AP) — Identical twin sisters Alexandria and Anastasia Duval always lived together, played together and worked together, operating what were once two of the hottest yoga studios in the Palm Beach, Florida, area. [...] after a reality TV project fell through, the two descended into a cross-country spiral of business failures, debts, arguments and drunken run-ins with the law that all came to a tragic end last week, when their SUV plunged off a 200-foot cliff on Maui's rocky shore during...

A’s have 6th overall draft pick MILWAUKEE — The A’s have the sixth pick in Thursday night’s draft, their highest selection since 1998, when they took Mark Mulder second. The team’s biggest need is starting pitching, but the A’s say it’s not about need at the big-league level as much as finding the best available player. Baseball drafts are more unpredictable than football or basketball drafts, where players go directly to the NFL and NBA and picks generally are based on need. “All this speculation...

The day after Kamala Harris won 40 percent of the vote to sprint away from the 34-candidate U.S. Senate primary field, the people running her campaign sounded extraordinarily confident she will be elected in November.

DENVER (AP) — Authorities are hoping DNA evidence will help them identify human remains found inside a snow boot at a Colorado ski resort, but it could take weeks for the test results to come back. Based on the size 13 boot, investigators do not believe the remains belong to a missing 20-year-old man from Lafayette who worked at Eldora Mountain Resort, Cmdr.

David Ludlam, executive director of the West Slope Colorado Oil and Gas Association, said he doesn't expect a rush to drill in western Colorado because current natural gas prices are too low.

The Piceance Basin, which spans much of western and northwestern Colorado, already has multiple well sites... Читать дальше...

In his first public remarks on the primary since Clinton clinched the nomination, Obama acknowledged the lingering bruised feelings and sought to shower praise on both candidates. Later, Obama made a delicate reference to the party's... Читать дальше...

The risks are often tied to the party culture endemic on college campuses, where alcohol consumption is a major feature. Part of college culture involves spending time at parties and bars, recreational drug use and engaging in other risky behaviors (e.g., binge drinking, hooking up). Drinking alcohol can increase the chances of being a crime victim because alcohol use impairs judgment and perception, decreases the ability to recognize and react to risk, impairs decision-making and delays reaction time.
