SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois lawmakers spent most of Tuesday trying to get control of an avoidable sexual-harassment mess which began with a seemingly benign, if sincere, proposal last month to explicitly forbid harassment and intimidation in the ethics code. Both the House and Senate unanimously adopted the legislation that started the melee, House Speaker Michael Madigan's proposal to require sexual harassment awareness training for all state officers, lawmakers, staff members and lobbyists...

On Sunday, after the 49ers never had a lead en route to a loss to Arizona, a staff member provided head coach Kyle Shanahan a stunning stat from his 0-9 season. “They said we’ve also only had the ball for six plays this year while having the lead,” Shanahan said. “That's hard for me to believe, but it's the situation that we’ve been in.” Believe it, Kyle. The 49ers have spent the vast majority of 2017 in a trail position: They have never led in seven games, ran their... Читать дальше...

If Stanford wants to know how good the Washington defense is, the Cardinal might ask Cal, not that they’re really on speaking terms. In a 38-7 rout of the Bears a month ago, the Huskies had eight sacks without blitzing once. Six sacks came when Washington rushed just three players. Cal had 93 yards of total offense on 52 plays. The Huskies’ defense, guided by coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski, who came from Boise State with head coach Chris Petersen three years ago, is... Читать дальше...

On Halloween morning, between practice and first period, the Long Beach Poly High School varsity boys basketball team received a visit from the Warriors’ new fan favorite. It was only four years ago that Jordan Bell was one of them, a gangly senior with braces whose raw fundamentals made it tough for anyone — his coaches, his girlfriend, his mother — to take his NBA dream seriously. When Bell told those teenagers not to be limited by others’ expectations, they furrowed their eyebrows and straightened their backs. Читать дальше...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State's suspension of all fraternities and sororities after a pledge's death dampens Greek life on campus just as it prepares for homecoming week. But one critic says more may be needed to change fraternity behavior. Douglas Fierberg, a Washington-based attorney who has pursued lawsuits over hazing deaths, says he's skeptical that suspensions go far enough, after Florida State became at least the third school to do so this year. The school suspended 55 fraternities... Читать дальше...

Tim Cook was angry. It was May 2013, and Apple CEO Cook appeared before a Senate investigative subcommittee. After a lengthy inquiry, it found that the company had avoided tens of billions of dollars in taxes by shifting profit into Irish subsidiaries that the panel’s chairman called “ghost companies.” “We pay all the taxes we owe, every single dollar,” Cook declared at the hearing. “We don’t depend on tax gimmicks,” he went on. “We don’t stash money on some Caribbean...

DENVER (AP) — A Colorado woman arrested on suspicion of possessing a small amount of methamphetamine remained in jail for weeks and decided to plead guilty because she was unable to pay a $55 county fee for pre-trial services, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday by the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado. The federal suit argued that El Paso County's fee is unjustly keeping people in jail — even after a judge allows them to be freed on their own recognizance. County records indicate more...

HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — Attorneys for a Mexican citizen set to be executed Wednesday in Texas for the 1997 abduction and slaying of his 16-year-old cousin say they plan to file multiple federal court appeals hoping to delay his punishment. Ruben Ramirez Cardenas' lawyers already appealed to state courts, arguing that evidence in his case should undergo new DNA testing because previous testing that pointed to him might not be reliable. Those courts rejected their arguments. Prosecutors have called the DNA testing request a delay tactic. Читать дальше...
