MESA, Ariz. - Only three pitchers were in action for Oakland on Friday, but two of them are strong candidates for the rotation and the other is expected to be part of many future rotations. Daniel Mengden and Paul Blackburn, who both put together some excellent stretches for the A’s last year in injury-shortened seasons, turned in nice bullpen sessions, and 2016 second-round pick Logan Shore was also on the mound. Earlier in the day, they and the rest of the team’s pitchers listened... Читать дальше...

Officers arrived and found one man dead.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The revelation that the FBI botched a potentially life-saving tip on the Florida school shooting suspect is a devastating blow to America's top law enforcement agency at a time when it is already under extraordinary political pressure. Even before the startling disclosure that the FBI failed to investigate a warning that the suspect, Nikolas Cruz, could be plotting an attack, the bureau was facing unprecedented criticism from President Donald Trump and other Republicans, who have accused it of partisan bias.

LOS ANGELES — Intent on maximizing his first All-Star weekend two years ago, Warriors forward Draymond Green seldom said no. Those four days in Toronto were a blur of promotional events, photo shoots, media availabilities, after-parties — anything he could squeeze into his itinerary. “I was changing clothes in the car, and taking a 15-minute nap when I could,” Green recalled recently. “It was bad, but it was a great experience. I just never want that exact experience again.” For more than two weeks... Читать дальше...

But under current laws, only licensed veterinarians can treat an animal, regardless of the situation. That could change with a bill introduced Friday in the state Senate by Sen. Steve Glazer (D-Orinda), who wants to legalize “mouth-to snout”... Читать дальше...
