Medal favorite among those ill at track world championships LONDON — Several athletes have come down with a stomach bug at the world championships, including medal favorite Isaac Makwala of Botswana. Semenya, a two-time Olympic champion over 800 meters, now must concentrate on her signature event later this week to win another world title, eight years after she won her first at the 2009 Berlin worlds. Kipyegon took charge in the final straight when the others faltered to give Kenya its second... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal climate report says the United States is already feeling the effects of climate change, with temperatures rising dramatically over the last four decades.

Martin was introduced in the mid-1970s, and Short’s term from 1984-85 was one of the few seasons Martin didn’t appear as a guest star. Martin and Short’s traveling variety show combines broad gags, impersonations, conversation, storytelling and nostalgia. Short, a Tony-winning stage actor who has headlined musicals, contributes vocals as well.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Players are allowed to wear shorts during practice rounds at the PGA Championship. The PGA of America is moving its major championship to May for the first time in 70 years when it goes to Bethpage Black on New York’s Long Island in 2019 as part of a long-term plan that involves a major shift in the golf calendar, including the Players Championship moving to March. Two officials involved in the discussions say the PGA of America and PGA Tour will discuss details of the move as early as Tuesday at Quail Hollow Club... Читать дальше...

BATS Improv, now in its 31st year, usually does a Summer Improv Festival this time of year, but the political climate made artistic director Ken Robertson want to try something different in 2017, hence “Around the World in August.” “At a time when exclusionism and travel bans are being discussed again, we want to celebrate the brilliant storytelling of all cultures,” he said in a statement. The three-weekend event begins Friday, Aug. 11, with “Improvised Tales of the Arabian Nights,” which is co-produced with Zawaya... Читать дальше...

Don Baylor, the burly hitter who once held the Major League Baseball record for being hit a pitch and later guided the expansion Colorado Rockies to the playoffs for the first time as manager of the year, died Monday of cancer. The 1979 American League MVP died in his hometown of Austin, Texas, after a 14-year battle with multiple myeloma, Baylor’s family said in a statement released by the Angels, the franchise for which he played more than 800 games. In his final three seasons, Baylor went to three World Series from 1986-88... Читать дальше...

Hughes’ hero, Dix Steele, is a private detective investigating a serial killer in 1940s Los Angeles. Ray’s Dix (Humphrey Bogart in the darkest role of his career) is a washed-up Hollywood screenwriter who is suspected of a murder he didn’t commit. Watch it for Ray’s subtle direction of claustrophobic “Chinatown”-like interiors that threaten to swallow Bogart up, and study the tense Bogart and smoldering Gloria Grahame, who knows the score when it’s too late.

Lindsay’s final date with Abasolo was a hot air balloon ride, where Abasolo gifted her a homemade Spanish dictionary and told her she’d make a mistake if she didn’t choose him. During the final date, he said he wasn’t afraid of marriage itself but afraid of multiple proposals, and wasn’t sure whether she was the one. Their reunion during the live show was anything but cute — even before he came out on the stage, he admitted he was “terrified” of seeing Lindsay again. [...] Read: 'The Bachelorette'...

(AP) — Six inmates snatched keys from three correctional officers at a maximum security prison in Arkansas on Monday and held the officers in an area of the facility for about three hours, the second major disturbance to occur at the penitentiary in less than a month. Shortly after the last officer was released, corrections department spokesman Solomon Graves said the inmates surrendered and the prison began returning to normal operations. The disturbance occurred a week after officials revealed... Читать дальше...

Hunter declined to comment, but he told TheWrap in April that he felt betrayed by Allred when he learned that she had been representing him in his gender discrimination lawsuit against CBS Broadcasting at the same time she had negotiated a contract with a different arm of CBS, CBS Television Studios, for series based on her life. “Mr. Hunter has been threatening to sue our law firm for approximately one year in an attempt to get our law firm to pay him money which he is not entitled to,” Allred...

Always looking to whittle away at game times, Major League Baseball next year might cut down or even do away with one of the more under-the-radar but fascinating aspects of baseball: the mound visit. Fans often don’t notice the interactions between the pitching coach and pitcher, or the catcher and pitcher, but there is an art to trotting out for a chat when the opponent is threatening. “You’re thinking, ‘This guy is all over the place, and I’ve got to make a trip because he’s not throwing strikes,’” A’s pitching coach Scott Emerson said.

Judd Apatow is clarifying the recent comments he made criticizing backlash to HBO’s “Confederate,” the upcoming drama series about slavery from “Game of Thrones” showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. After HBO picked up the series last month, many people took to social media with criticism about the project that envisions an alternate reality in which slavery exists due to the South having successfully seceded from the Union. Author Author Ta-Nehisi Coates is among the public figures who have... Читать дальше...

To stage one of Shakespeare’s so-called problem plays is to give yourself a mighty hurdle to leap over. For the fate of your production will hang not just on the usual suspects like acting and design but also on to what extent you mitigate a central problem: trying to unify a hodgepodge of tones, to make sense of a script that straddles comedy and tragedy. In some problem plays, obsolete gender, racial or religious politics exacerbate the problem; in others, a central implausibility makes the whole story difficult to accept. Читать дальше...

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A Sinaloa cartel leader and his son have been indicted on drug smuggling charges in the United States in what U.S. authorities called a blow to one of Mexico's most powerful drug rings. Damaso Lopez Nunez has been battling for control of the Sinaloa cartel following last year's arrest of billionaire kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who faces drug charges in the United States. Known by the nickname "El Licenciado," a title for college graduates, Lopez was long considered Guzman's... Читать дальше...

In addition to what appear to be scripts from five "Game of Thrones" episodes, including one upcoming episode, the dump included a month's worth of email apparently from the account of Leslie Cohen, HBO's vice president for film programming. The cache also included internal documents, among them an apparent report of legal claims against the network and job offer letters to top executives. In that attack, hackers unearthed thousands of embarrassing emails and released personal information, including salaries and social security numbers... Читать дальше...

The Olympian reports (https://goo.gl/Yq3vid ) the van was heading back to the county coroner's office Monday after responding to a home death. Lower says officers rerouted traffic while the coroner's office was notified and returned to load the gurneys back into the van.

The conflation of those two figures — a legacy of the Hollywood tradition embodied by Boris Karloff — is one of long standing, but Libby Larsen’s 1990 opera based on Shelley’s novel keeps them entirely distinct. In her 90-minute work, which gets a rare mounting beginning this weekend from the West Edge Opera, Larsen sets the role of Frankenstein as a tenor (in this production, singer Samuel Levine). The monster, meanwhile, has a scattered consciousness represented by video projections — the work... Читать дальше...

Giants host improving World Series-champion Cubs Bruce Bochy periodically makes a statement that sounds syllogistic until you think about it: The 2017 Cubs are the living embodiment. The 2018 Dodgers could be, too, especially if they get to the World Series. Matt Moore faces the Cubs in the opener of a three-game series on Monday night. The last time the Cubs played at AT&T Park, Moore pitched eight shutout innings and handed Game 4 of the Division Series to a bullpen that gave up four runs in the ninth. Читать дальше...

(THE CONVERSATION) As reports have surfaced of the Trump administration’s intent to investigate affirmative action admissions in higher education, the debate over whether and how race should be considered in college admissions has emerged with renewed vigor. In what The New York Times called “a blinkered view on race in America,” justices in the 2014 Schuette case ruled 6-2 (with Justice Elena Kagan recusing herself) that voters could eliminate affirmative action policies in state public education.

Lined with towering palm trees and multimillion dollar mansions, the street has been home, over the years, to famous residents including Sen. Dianne Feinstein and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. Thanks to a city auction stemming from an unpaid tax bill, Bay Area real estate investor Michael Cheng, and his wife Tina Lam, bought the street and now own the sidewalks, the street itself and other areas of "common ground" in the private development that, the San Francisco Chronicle report ed, has...

(AP) — Wearing red inmate clothes with his hands shackled, a fired Northwestern University professor facing a murder charge in Chicago briefly appeared in a California courtroom Monday, smiling at supporters who waved at him. Wyndham Lathem, a microbiologist, was accused with another man in a Chicago arrest warrant in the fatal stabbing of Trenton James Cornell-Duranleau. While details of the gruesome case have been in the headlines for days, including a bizarre donation made in the victim's name... Читать дальше...

A Northwestern University microbiology professor who surrendered to Bay Area police in connection with the fatal stabbing of a man in Chicago, waived extradition in court in Dublin on Monday, clearing the way for him to be taken back to Illinois to face justice, authorities said. Wyndham Lathem, 42, and Andrew Warren, 49 according to jail records, an employee of the University of Oxford in England, separately turned themselves over to Bay Area authorities on Friday night after being on the run for eight days, officials said.

Giants’ Suarez building a case for 2018 bullpen spot Three years after Yusmeiro Petit saved the Giants with six shutout innings in the 18-inning playoff win at Washington, and two years after the Giants bade him farewell because he started to get expensive, he is thriving for the Angels. The right-hander has a 2.15 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP in 39 games. The Giants thought they might have a newer, cheaper Petit in Albert Suarez last year, and to some degree they did. Suarez made 12 starts and 10 relief appearances as a 26-year-old rookie. Читать дальше...
