Connie (Ayelet Firstenberg) and Tristan (Joe Estlack) display all the telltale biological signs of being in love. Hearts and thoughts race. Sensory perception seems heightened, sharper. Anxiety upsets stomachs. Libido skyrockets. And sleep? Forget about it. But the two lead characters in “The Effect” have reason to believe they’re not really in love at all. All their symptoms match up quite well to still another cause: antidepressants, which they’re both taking as part of a clinical trial.

CHERRY HILL, N.J. — The federal government will spend a record $4.6 billion this year to fight the nation’s deepening opioid crisis, which killed 42,000 Americans in 2016. But some advocates say the funding included in the spending plan the president signed Friday is not nearly enough to establish the kind of treatment system needed to reverse the crisis. A White House report last fall put the cost to the country of the overdose epidemic at more than $500 billion a year. Former Rep. Читать дальше...

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Gov. Rick Snyder is checking on the legality of allowing Michigan's 529 college savings plans to be used to cover private K-12 tuition costs. The federal tax cut enacted last year includes the expansion of eligible expenses for such savings plans, so private K-12 tuition is included. But the Michigan Constitution prohibits direct or indirect public aid to any non-public school. Snyder and state Treasurer Nick Khouri sent a letter Friday to state Attorney General Bill Schuette (SHOO'-tee) asking for a legal opinion. Читать дальше...

HOUSTON (AP) — Cellphone video of a sheriff's deputy fatally shooting an unarmed black man shows the man wandering in a Houston street with his pants around his ankles and continuing to approach the deputy as the officer tells him to stop. The video, obtained by the Houston Chronicle from a civilian witness , does not show the actual shooting because a car passes in front of the cellphone camera as the Harris County deputy fires a single shot. A spokesman for the sheriff's office says the man had an object in his hand... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK — The two stone churches near the foot of Broadway, in the shadow of the World Trade Center, have seen fire and calamity and the sweep of American history, and through it all have kept their doors wide open. But in a sign of the times, Trinity Church and St. Paul’s Chapel both installed metal detectors this month. Visitors on their way to see Alexander Hamilton’s tomb in Trinity’s historic graveyard, or who want to sit in the pews at St. Paul’s where George Washington prayed... Читать дальше...

Warriors forward Draymond Green has been ruled out for Sunday evening’s game against Utah with flu-like symptoms. It is yet another setback for a team that had hoped to have Green back from a pelvic contusion that sidelined him for Friday’s win over Atlanta. With Green, Stephen Curry (left MCL sprain), Kevin Durant (fractured rib cartilage) and Klay Thompson (fractured right thumb) out, Golden State will be without all four of its All-Stars against the Jazz. Additionally... Читать дальше...

CHICAGO (AP) — Authorities have charged a suburban Chicago father for allegedly writing on Facebook that his brother could go to an elementary school with an AR-15 rifle to send a message his son shouldn't be bullied. Paul R. Chapman, of Lyons, appeared in Cook County bond court Saturday on a charge of disorderly conduct. Prosecutors say the 43-year-old made the threat last week after his first-grader son was pushed into a bookshelf by another student at Lyons' Robinson Elementary School. The postings...

Paramount Pictures’ latest release, “Sherlock Gnomes,” fell flat with a $10.6 million opening against a $59 million budget. Critics panned the sequel to 2011’s “Gnomeo and Juliet,” while audiences gave the film a B+ on CinemaScore, a below average mark considering that most family animated films receive an A or A- from opening night audiences This is the latest disappointment for distributor Paramount Pictures, which struggled to find a hit over the past few years under its late former CEO Brad...

TOLEDO, Ohio — The longest-serving woman in the history of the U.S. House, Marcy Kaptur, still returns from Washington most weekends to the modest single-story home where she grew up in Toledo. How the 71-year-old Democrat, a daughter of two factory workers, has managed to stay in office so long can be linked to an unwavering connection to her working-class roots. Now in the House just over 35 years, Kaptur set the mark last week for the longest tenure by a woman ... Читать дальше...

Rick Santorum said that students should learn CPR for when there is a school shooter instead of protesting for stricter “phony gun laws.” “Is this really all about politics or is it all about keeping our schools safe?” the former Republican presidential candidate said on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday. “Because if it is about keeping our schools safe, then we have to have a much broader discussion than the discussion that’s going on right now. “How about kids, instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem...

People were sure it was from a sci-fi/horror film called Neon Maniacs. Others swore it had to be from an undiscovered UC Berkeley art film. Even film historians had no idea.

Bill Hader’s gift is that he’s better impersonating oddballs like Vincent Price and James Carville than doing another Schwarzenegger. He’s a deep movie buff (“Documentary Now”), obsessed with corny TV (Vinny Vedecci), and he can play either the love interest to Amy Schumer (“Trainwreck”) or a total creeper (Keith Morrison). That mix of relatable and weird makes him perfect to play “Barry,” a Midwestern assassin who has a change of heart to become an actor. Ahead of the show’s premiere on HBO this Sunday...

Universal/Legendary’s “Pacific Rim: Uprising” took the top spot at the box office this weekend with an estimated $28.5 million from 3,704 screens. That’s down 23 percent from the $37.2 million its Guillermo del Toro-directed predecessor made in 2013. While that result is on the upper end of pre-weekend projections, the John Boyega-fronted blockbuster was going to need a lot more to make back its $150 million production budget. But “Uprising” has performed well in Asia, as the film opened day-and-date... Читать дальше...

BOSTON (AP) — Loren Zitomersky has gotten used to the jokes: "Hey, you're running the wrong way!" Slamming straight into trees he didn't see behind him? Not so much. Also, ouch. But the Disney movie production lawyer is on a singular quest to break the world record for the fastest marathon ever run backward. Zitomersky, 33, who's known on social media as "Backwards Guy ," hopes to accomplish the feat at next month's Boston Marathon to raise money and awareness for an epilepsy cure.
