FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — A Glendale man has been arrested in Flagstaff for allegedly passing counterfeit $100 bills. Flagstaff police say 43-year-old Christopher Rock has been booked into the Coconino County Jail on suspicion of possession of a forged instrument and possession of a forgery device. He's also facing drug charges. It was unclear Monday if Rock has a lawyer yet. Police say they were called after a man allegedly passed three forged $100 bills at a supermarket last Friday. Rock was arrested... Читать дальше...

Imagine Kawhi Leonard showed up at Oracle Arena on Monday night. Imagine he wore jeans with a white collared shirt and a black sports coat and he sat behind the bench clapping at all of the appropriate moments. That is what people wanted him to do, right? To prove he cares? To show he’s still involved? To make some small semblance of a public display of brotherhood? Now imagine Leonard was sitting there when the Spurs’ lead started slipping away in the third quarter of Monday’s 116-101 loss to Golden State. Читать дальше...

The StarNews of Wilmington reports the commemoration ceremony for the Van Eeden colony will be held Wednesday at the Pender County Public Library in Burgaw.

Embarrassed and desperate after getting steamrolled by the Bruins through the first two games at Boston, the Toronto Maple Leafs had a point to prove at home in Game 3. Auston Matthews responded in a big way. Matthews scored the go-ahead goal in the second period to lead the Maple Leafs as they cut the Bruins’ lead in their Eastern Conference first-round series to 2-1. Former Sharks forward Patrick Marleau added two goals and Frederik Andersen stopped 40 shots. ... Читать дальше...

The “shear” power of Bryce Harper was startling. The late comeback by the Nationals? Yep, that was shocking, too. Harper hit an eye-popping, broken-bat homer early, then grounded a key single during a six-run surge in the eighth inning that sent Washington past the Mets 8-6 in New York on Monday night. “Barreled it pretty good,” Harper said. “It just broke and kept going.” The Nationals rallied against five pitchers in their burst, winning for the fourth time in 13 games.

Last week, as his staff began trying to cram an in-depth scouting report of San Antonio into a few days, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr came to a critical realization: What the Spurs do would matter far less than whether Golden State finally started playing up to its defensive potential. Matador defense had plagued the Warriors in the final month of their regular season. With Stephen Curry expected to miss the entire first round with a sprained left MCL, Kerr stressed to his players... Читать дальше...

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian state-run television has reported that the country's defenses have confronted a new "aggression," shooting down missiles over the central Homs region. It didn't say who carried out the early Tuesday airstrikes. The Syrian Central Media said the missiles targeted Shayrat air base in Homs. Another strike earlier this month in Homs was blamed on Israel. The report comes a few days after the U.S., Britain and France conducted airstrikes targeting alleged chemical weapons facilities in Syria... Читать дальше...

CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio (AP) — A federal appeals court has ruled that an Ohio televangelist did not violate labor laws by urging members of his congregation to volunteer at the church's for-profit restaurant. A lower court had ruled churchgoers were effectively employees of Cathedral Buffet, located at Ernest Angley's church in Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) Falls. The U.S. Department of Labor argued that Angley coerced people into working by saying refusal could be a sin. The appeals court said Monday that the law deals with economic coercion...

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Scientists working on new ways to battle the erosion that threatens Louisiana's coastline have a dramatic new tool: a massive replica of the lower Mississippi River. The Louisiana State University's Center for River Studies is home to the newly opened Lower Mississippi River Physical Model, a 10,000-square-foot (930-square-meter) reproduction of nearly 200 miles (322 kilometers) of the lower Mississippi from the town of Donaldsonville northwest of New Orleans to the Gulf of Mexico.

The A’s got something Monday night they’d been sorely lacking: A long and effective outing from a starting pitcher not named Sean Manaea. Daniel Mengden took a shutout into the ninth inning as the A’s beat the Chicago White Sox, 8-1, at the Coliseum. On the heels of Manaea’s gem in Seattle on Sunday, it gave the A’s consecutive wins for the first time this season. Mengden allowed six hits and held a Chicago lineup that had been idle since last Thursday (due to weather)... Читать дальше...

ARIES. (March 20 - April 18): That steep climb just got steeper, but if anyone can go the distance it's you.

Steven Spielberg has further cemented his reputation as the most commercially successful filmmaker of all time, becoming the first director to ever gross more than $10 billion at the worldwide box office. His new sci-fi blockbuster “Ready Player One” has racked up $475.1 million worldwide since its release last month, according to BoxOfficeMojo, making the adaptation of Ernest Cline’s best-selling novel his top-grossing film in the last decade and nudging him into eight figures in all-time career grosses.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is hearing arguments about whether a rule it announced decades ago in a case involving a catalog retailer should still apply in the age of the internet. The case on Tuesday focuses on businesses' collection of sales tax on online purchases. Right now, under the decades-old Supreme Court rule, if a business is shipping a product to a state where it doesn't have an office, warehouse or other physical presence, it doesn't have to collect the state's sales tax. Customers... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Several prominent lawyers asked to help represent President Donald Trump in the last year have spurned the assignment at least partly out of concerns he wouldn't pay his bills and doesn't listen to legal advice, according to people familiar with the conversations. The result is that as investigators intensify their focus on the president's inner circle, including his personal lawyer, Trump has been left with a lean legal team that has struggled to add criminal defense firepower.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump will play host to Japan's Shinzo Abe at Mar-a-Lago this week amid growing strain between the two countries over the president's planned meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and his push for new tariffs. The visit will be an opportunity for the two leaders to discuss Trump's upcoming summit with North Korea, which Japan eyes warily. It will also serve as a test of whether the fond personal relationship the two leaders have forged on the... Читать дальше...

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Prosecutors are building to the conclusion of their case against Bill Cosby with investigators and a pharmaceutical expert expected to take the stand beginning Tuesday in the comedian's sexual assault retrial. The prosecution on Monday delivered a searing one-two punch as chief accuser Andrea Constand rejected defense allegations that she concocted her story to score a big payday, and her mother testified that Cosby apologized and called himself a "sick man."
