SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Accident-reconstruction investigators are trying to figure out what caused an SUV carrying a family to plunge off a California cliff in a deadly wreck that happened shortly after child-welfare authorities went to their home to investigate possible abuse. Five members of the Hart family — a free-spirited brood from Washington state who grew their own food and took up activist causes — were found dead. Searchers kept looking Friday for three more children believed to have been... Читать дальше...

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — A Maryland Senate committee has passed a measure to increase the number of licenses for medical marijuana growers from 15 to as many as 22. The Senate Finance Committee approved a bill Friday that was previously passed by the House. It now goes to the full Senate. The measure was introduced to increase minority-business ownership, but not all new licenses would go to minority businesses. It would grant a grower's license to a black-owned company, as well as two companies that... Читать дальше...

NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — A male adult eagle ejected two Florida eaglets from their home shortly after their father's death. Two bald eagles, Paleo and Calusa, had hatched two eaglets whom they were fledgling on Marco Island, but their idyll was shattered in late February. Paleo, the male, flew into a power line and was electrocuted. Marco Eagle Sanctuary Foundation Communications Director Linda Turner tells the Naples Daily News that shortly thereafter, a "rogue adult male" showed up and ejected the hatchlings from the nest.

MIAMI (AP) — Supporters of releasing the Miami Seaquarium's killer whale, Lolita, have a message for the theme park: We aren't going anywhere. They now count among their ranks Florida gubernatorial candidate Philip Levine and the Lummi Nation tribe of Washington state, whose traditional territory in the Salish Sea also served as Lolita's native waters. Levine, members of the tribe and of Orca Network, a Washington-based nonprofit that advocates for Lolita's release, met at Levine's Wynwood campaign... Читать дальше...

The Raiders released Marquette King on Friday after five seasons as their primary punter. King, 29, was among the league’s top punters in recent seasons. He was named second-team All-Pro in 2016 and last season ranked third in net punting average (42.7 yards). King was also among the Raiders’ more animated personalities - particularly for a punter - and raised some eyebrows when his antics drew unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. By releasing King...

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The Latest on the New York state budget (all times local): 4:48 p.m. New sexual harassment protections for all employees of state and local governments in New York are being approved for the new state budget.

The measure's provisions include prohibiting... Читать дальше...

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Thousands of Palestinians marched to Gaza’s border with Israel on Friday in the largest such demonstration in recent memory, and 15 were killed by Israeli fire on the first day of what Hamas organizers said will be six weeks of daily protests against a stifling border blockade. It was the bloodiest day in Gaza since the 2014 cross-border war between Israel and Hamas. Fourteen of the marchers were killed and more than 750 wounded by Israeli fire in clashes along the border fence... Читать дальше...

While “Tyler Perry’s Acrimony” doesn’t quite live up to its stylish trailer — that water-torture sound design promises a floodgate that will burst at any moment — it’s the kind of “women’s picture” that used to be Joan Crawford’s bread and butter, the sort that allows its star to glamorously lose her grip in a succession of great outfits. We don’t have Crawford anymore, but Perry has Taraji P. Henson, and together they gnash their way through this entertaining potboiler. And while Perry has been known for saintly heroines and nasty villains... Читать дальше...

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Outspoken #MeToo advocate Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty finds herself in the awkward position of apologizing for not protecting female staffers from alleged violence, threats and sexual harassment by her former chief of staff. The Democrat from Connecticut issued a public apology Thursday after newspapers reported she did not suspend or fire the chief of staff until three months after learning about allegations against him. Earlier this week, Esty reached out to leaders of several... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON — The organizers of March for Our Lives are hoping they can turn more than 700 marches in the U.S. on ending gun violence into 535 town halls on April 7 — one for every member of Congress right before they return to work on April 9. It’s an uphill battle under normal circumstances. But with fewer in-person town halls generally, polarized demonstrations at town halls last year over health care, and the volatility of a congressional election year, it’s more a mountain than a hill.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court on Friday upheld the conviction of a high school teacher who claimed his only physical contact with the student was hugging, finding that the hugging amounted to sexual misconduct in light of instant messages that showed she had "become the object of" his sexual desires. Bradley Wickes, a 38-year-old former Camanche High School social studies teacher, was convicted in 2015 of a charge of sexual exploitation by a school employee and sentenced to five years in prison.

After five decades, the McDonald's restaurant that operated at the foot of Haight Street ceased operations yesterday. Crews will soon clear out the chain's branded furniture and fixtures before workers erect a fence around the parcel's perimeter.

NEW YORK (AP) — The New Yorker who pioneered commercial sales of gourmet Italian food at his famed Greenwich Village grocery store, Balducci's, has died. Andrew Balducci was 92. His wife, Nina Balducci, says the Brooklyn native succumbed to leukemia last week at a Long Island hospital. Food experts including the late chef James Beard flocked to the store at the corner of Sixth Avenue and West Ninth Street in the Village that opened in 1972 and stayed there for three decades. Balducci's was a culinary... Читать дальше...

PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) — Multiple online sites have wrongly claimed Florida school shooting survivor and gun-control activist David Hogg was not on campus during the mass shooting. The erroneous information was based on a video to promote a CBS documentary on the student activists of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. The 8-minute video showed Hogg saying that on Feb. 14, he rode his bike 3 miles from his home to school, taking a camera with him. Stories shared on social media said that... Читать дальше...

MOSCOW — The scope of Russia’s retaliatory expulsions of Western diplomats grew clearer Friday as the Kremlin summoned 23 ambassadors to issue eviction orders, while diplomatic veterans questioned how the U.S. Embassy, with a greatly reduced staff, could perform basic tasks. The ambassadors, mostly European, called to the Kremlin on Friday were told that their diplomatic staffs would be cut by the same number of people as had been lost by Russian embassies in their own capitals during...

KITTERY, Maine (AP) — For at least a year, Maine officials have been arguing with a construction company over who should bear the blame — and the costs — for a delay in the opening of a long-awaited bridge. The new Sarah Mildred Long Bridge connecting Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Kittery, Maine, was set to open Friday, about seven months after the initial target date. According to emails and letters obtained by the Portland Press Herald, Maine officials told the construction company, Cianbro (shin-BRO)... Читать дальше...

He was being held without bail Friday evening at Penobscot County Jail, and he's expected to make his first court appearance on Monday.

ATLANTA (AP) — While giving his retirement speech Thursday on the Georgia House floor, Republican Rep. Brooks Coleman reflected on a lesson he learned from Speaker David Ralston: "It's not what we pass down here that makes a difference many times — it's what we don't pass, what we stop." In the Republican-controlled legislature, it's rare for a bill to be voted down. Far more often, bills that don't garner enough support suffer a quiet death and simply never come up for a vote. Out of hundreds of... Читать дальше...

Warriors guard Klay Thompson said he is probable to return Saturday in Sacramento from a fractured right thumb that has sidelined him eight games. Thompson fractured his thumb during the second quarter of the Warriors’ March 11 loss to Minnesota, but continued to play, finishing with 21 points on 8-for-22 shooting and four turnovers in 40 minutes. He was initially ruled out for at least four games, though Kerr conceded at the time that Thompson was "probably looking at (missing) a couple weeks." Now... Читать дальше...

SAN DIEGO — The Trump administration has ended special considerations to generally release pregnant women charged with being in the United States illegally while their cases wind through immigration court.

The new policy,... Читать дальше...
