Remember how innocent — I mean as innocent as any character on “Scandal” can really be — and just good-hearted she was? Thursday night’s episode was all about Huck (Guillermo Diaz) running around in circles trying to find out who the mole was after Rowan Pope (Joe Morton) convinced him that he’s a good guy who’s being blackmailed by the Shadowy Organization and Olivia (Kerry Washington) is in danger because there’s a rat in her circle. [...] Huck thinks this traitor is his new girlfriend, Meg (Phoebe Neidhardt) ... Читать дальше...

On Thursday, midway through Stanford’s pro day, running back Christian McCaffrey soared near the sideline to snag an errant pass, a nifty bit of athleticism that drew applause. [...] McCaffrey’s former college teammate, defensive end Solomon Thomas, worked out for NFL scouts and drew nary a cheer during the two-hour session. On Thursday, Chicago defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, whose team has the No. 3 pick, and Carolina head coach Ron Rivera (No. 8) were on hand to get an up-close look at the lineman...

Former Arkansas Governor and failed presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has become notorious in recent months for using his twitter feed as a forum for terrible jokes, inspired by current events. [...] it is that Oswalt came out on stage and stood in front of a backdrop of a fake comedy club called Yuk Yuckabee’s, to repeat three of Governor Huckabee’s greatest hits. Did Oswalt manage to wring genuine laughs out of the material, proving that Mike just needs more seasoning at local open mics?

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Twenty years after the first decision in Ohio's landmark school-funding lawsuit, hundreds of new school buildings dot the landscape and the notion of what constitutes an adequate education is regularly debated in U.S. state capitals. Six years after high school freshman Nathan DeRolph filed his suit, justices ruled 4-3 that Ohio's funding method failed to provide for the "thorough and efficient" system of public schools required by Ohio's constitution. A focus on dilapidated... Читать дальше...

Many who live in south San Diego County are binational U.S. citizens — literally meaning they get their health care in Mexico, but their education in the United States or vice versa. When I would cross the border, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent at the port of entry would ask your nationality. Sometimes, if the agent felt like it, he would ask “What elementary school do you go to, Sweetie?” just to make sure you were a U.S. national. If the agent was feeling himself, he would ask for a driver’s license, passport or school ID. Читать дальше...

Not in an audacious, public, Babe Ruth way, but Mathews left no doubt in Gonzaga’s huddle during the waning minutes of Thursday’s West Regional semifinal in San Jose. Mathews, who missed seven of his first eight shots and mostly sat on the bench down the stretch, buried a three-pointer with 59 seconds left, lifting Gonzaga to a 61-58 victory over West Virginia. The win propelled the Bulldogs (35-1) into Saturday’s regional final against Xavier, an upset winner over second-seeded Arizona. Top-seeded... Читать дальше...

Khan is the Gold Star father who brought the Democratic National Convention to its feet last summer when he produced his personal copy of the Constitution from his pocket and urged Republican candidate Donald Trump to give it a read. Trump, infuriated, made Khan the target of his ire in the subsequent days, and the resulting furor sent Trump’s poll numbers tumbling. Khan told the members of the Asian American Bar Association of the Greater Bay Area that he had been moved to make his remarks after... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) — For years, family members of those killed on Sept. 11 and insurance companies tried unsuccessfully through the courts to hold Saudi Arabia or businesses and organizations there responsible for the terrorist attacks. In the next year, the Manhattan federal courts will make rulings signaling to thousands of family members of those killed and injured first responders whether passage of the 2016 Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act was largely a symbolic exercise or a catalyst to getting them to trial.

Two storm systems moving into the Bay Area over the weekend will put a damper on the recent days of mild weather, meteorologists said Thursday.

A “mere draftsman’s error” in a contract between Oakland and the company that collects the recycling of its residents could cost apartment dwellers there tens of millions of dollars over the course of the 10-year agreement, the city alleges in a lawsuit.

WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats vowed Thursday to filibuster the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch, signaling a partisan showdown over the nominee’s fate and the future of century-old rules in the chamber.
