(AP) — A Virginia delegate to the Republican National Committee who wants to avoid voting for presumptive nominee Donald Trump at the party convention later this month is set to make his case before a federal judge. Correll says he won't vote for Trump because he believes the billionaire businessman is unfit to serve as president.

Comey will field questions Thursday from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee about an FBI announcement that dispersed the threat of criminal charges but also revived public scrutiny of Clinton's handling of classified information. In a stinging assessment of her email practices as secretary of state, Comey rebuked Clinton and her aides for being "extremely careless" in their handling of classified information and contradicted many of the defenses and explanations she's put forward for months.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — It was an opportunity for Donald Trump to hone his message and focus his ire on Hillary Clinton's emails and the criminal indictment he and his fellow Republicans say she deserved and unjustly dodged.  Instead, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee chose to interrupt his Wednesday night rally with an aggressive defense of a weekend tweet condemned as anti-Semitic, reminding anyone who may have been watching of the criticism that his campaign turns a blind eye to bigotry...

When he comes to visit us in the summer, his clothing and shoes are always ragged and a few sizes too small. Yet every time he comes to us, he’s never wearing anything his dad and I bought him, but what appear to be hand-me-down rags. The state where the boy lives is not good about giving fathers custody of their kids, and the mom is not necessarily unfit. How can we make her see she’s hurting her kid? While a young child may not be able to do this, I believe a teenager can make a compelling case for it. Читать дальше...

Crime, despite recent upticks, is way down, access to health care is improving, schools are better, homeownership and housing prices are up, transportation and arts and food options are multiplying. If it can figure out a way to remain such, then it could provide a crucial model for a state increasingly divided between some of the nation’s most affluent residents and its largest population of poor people. USC’s the Village, combining student housing with retail (including South L.A.’s first Trader Joe’s)... Читать дальше...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The training death of an aspiring Navy SEAL, 21-year-old Seaman James Derek Lovelace, has been ruled a homicide by the San Diego County Medical Examiner — a highly unusual move. Sheer fatigue and sleep deprivation will cause every candidate to question his core values, motivations, limits, and everything he's made of and stands for. The trainees do both compressed-air and 100 percent oxygen SCUBA diving, long distance underwater dives and mission-focused swimming and diving techniques. Читать дальше...

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Navy SEALs basic training is designed to be a difficult selection process to find the U.S. military's strongest fighters and turn them into an elite force able to dive into the world's deadliest places from Somalia to Syria. The highly unusual ruling is serious and could affect the SEALs' basic training practices, said former Navy Capt. Lawrence Brennan, an adjunct professor at Fordham Law School who served as a Navy judge advocate. The ruling on the May 6 drowning of the 21-year-old... Читать дальше...

Johnny Cueto’s teammates of half a season could have paid him no better tribute Wednesday night after he pitched a complete-game, 5-1 victory against the Rockies at AT&T Park in his final outing before a possible All-Star Game start. The Giants have gotten so much more out of a pitcher they signed to a six-year, $130 million contract in December. At 13-1 he became the first Giants pitcher since John Burkett in 1993 with that many wins before the All-Star break. Cueto pitched his fourth complete game of the season... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) — Family and friends of a man who was fatally shot by an off-duty New York Police Department officer during an apparent road rage incident have gathered for a vigil. Authorities say the off-duty officer was driving his personal vehicle early Monday when he was involved in a traffic dispute with Small.

Giants place reliever Cory Gearrin on disabled list Does reliever Cory Gearrin really have a right shoulder strain? When a player goes on the disabled list, as Gearrin did Wednesday, a team doctor needs to sign an affidavit attesting to the injury. [...] manager Bruce Bochy acknowledged that Gearrin probably could have returned sooner than 15 days and that the need to rest an overused pitcher played an equal role. Bochy said Suarez will be used in relief in any inning and was available Wednesday... Читать дальше...

The sea snails known by Italian-Americans as scungilli used to be such a niche market that fishermen ignored them when they turned up in lobster traps or oyster dredges. [...] they're a prized commodity. Because of growing demand in Asia and the collapse of other industries, such as lobster, fishermen searching for something else to catch are keeping and selling the big marine snails. A voracious predator, it crawls along the bottom of Atlantic coastal inlets from Nantucket Sound to North Carolina's Outer Banks... Читать дальше...

(AP) — Bill Cosby's lawyers will ask a Pennsylvania judge to either throw out his criminal sex assault case or let him face his accuser in court before trial. Cosby, 78, is charged with felony indecent assault for allegedly drugging and molesting Constand in 2004. Prosecutors chose not to have Constand testify at the May preliminary hearing, citing a 2015 state Superior Court ruling that allows hearsay testimony at that stage to spare alleged victims from repeated court appearances. [...] Cosby... Читать дальше...

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — A federal grand jury has lodged child sex charges against a former high school teacher who authorities say was caught in an online sting. State officials dropped those charges after a federal grand jury last week indicted Rutherford on two counts each of seeking child pornography and attempted inducement of a minor.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — In the song "A Winter's Ball" in the smash Broadway hit "Hamilton," Aaron Burr's character sings of Alexander Hamilton's delight for women, including the tale that Martha Washington named her feral tomcat after him. Twenty miles from the Broadway theater where fans spend thousands of dollars to see the show, a group dedicated to studying the nation's first treasury secretary will gather Thursday to unveil new artifacts and retrace a piece of history they hope can soften some of Hamilton's rough edges.

Ivan and Martha Warmuth are planning to testify Thursday at a public hearing before the Legislature's Transportation Committee in favor of a bill that would prohibit duck boat drivers from simultaneously serving as narrator and tour guide.

The schools are to use the grants to disseminate their best practices to school districts, including school leadership structures, professional development programs, disciplinary practices and school calendar changes.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A trial in the George Washington Bridge lane-closing case is months away at minimum, and already there has been enough mudslinging and accusations of nefarious conduct to rival the current presidential campaign for pure entertainment value. Christie has claimed he "gave it to the government" some time ago and wasn't sure where it was; the U.S. attorney's office said it never had the phone, and Gibson Dunn wrote in a court filing it "returned" the phone after reviewing its contents in response to a government subpoena.

(AP) — A police captain's son accused of plotting an attack on a college campus to support the Islamic State group is scheduled to be arraigned in Massachusetts on terrorism charges.

(AP) — Funeral services will be held for a Massachusetts firefighter who was allegedly shot by a friend while the two were drinking and playing with a handgun. Both the 24-year-old Atherton and the 23-year-old Riccardi-O'Connor were military police officers in the Massachusetts Army National Guard.

HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — The grandparents of a boy who opened fire in an Ohio school cafeteria and injured several classmates say a lawsuit wrongly names them as the gun's owners.

HOUSTON (AP) — The scheduled July 14 execution of a man convicted in the slaying of a Houston medical student was postponed indefinitely Wednesday pending testing of the lethal injection drugs as part of a lawsuit settlement, a prison system spokesman said. According to trial evidence, Carter had dropped off a movie at a video store and was walking back to his car when he was abducted at gunpoint, ordered to the front passenger seat of his car and was driven away.
