AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Officials in one Georgia city are studying turning a crumbling lock and dam into an adventure park. The Augusta Chronicle reports that Augusta officials are hiring a consultant for $15,000 to study whether the New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam could be transformed to host whitewater rafting, zip lines and surfing.

DENVER (AP) — Top Colorado lawmakers say they have struck a deal on transportation funding. Republican Senate President Kevin Grantham and Democratic House Speaker Crisanta Duran announced the deal on Monday — two days before the 2018 legislative session ends. They say their compromise would ask Colorado voters in 2019 to borrow $2.34 billion for transportation projects. Bonds issued to borrow that money would cost the state up to $3.25 billion, including interest, over 20 years. That's $1.75 billion... Читать дальше...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown has denied parole for one of four men convicted in the 1979 killing of a Modesto couple. A parole panel recommended in December that 57-year-old Ronald Ray Anderson be freed nearly four decades after the slayings of Phillip and Kathryn Ranzo. Brown said Monday that Anderson cannot be safely released back into society. Anderson stayed outside the home while three friends hog-tied the Ranzos, beat them and finally stabbed them to death. One raped Kathryn Ranzo... Читать дальше...

TEHRAN — On the streets of Tehran, every day seems to bring more worry and fear ahead of President Trump’s decision this week on whether to pull America out of the nuclear deal with Iran. Exchange shop windows that once showed rates for Iranian rial to U.S. dollar transactions have gone blank, as black-market rates have skyrocketed to 70,000 rials to the dollar, far higher than the newly government-imposed rate of 42,000 for $1. Busy shopping districts that once... Читать дальше...

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A judge Monday threw out the most serious counts against a second set of defendants in a Penn State fraternity pledge's death last year, leaving in place only hazing and alcohol charges that would likely result in little or no jail time. While sending 11 more fraternity brothers to trial, Judge Steven Lachman dismissed reckless endangerment charges and allegations that a member of now-shuttered Beta Theta Pi had erased basement security video to thwart investigators. It was yet another blow to prosecutors... Читать дальше...

PARIS — In just one year as France’s president, Emmanuel Macron has emerged as a key world player, speaking up for Europe and Western democratic values and striking a surprise friendship with Donald Trump. But Macron has made his biggest impact — and his biggest enemies — at home. Strikes and protests over his economic reforms have dominated the French landscape in recent weeks, and tens of thousands held a “party” Saturday to share their anger at Macron’s first year in office. Many... Читать дальше...

PAHOA, Hawaii (AP) — As lava crawled down Leilani Road in a hissing, popping mass, Cheryl Griffith stood in its path and placed a plant in a crack in the ground as an offering to the Native Hawaiian volcano goddess, Pele. Griffith lives in Leilani Estates, a subdivision on the Big Island where molten rock from the Kilauea volcano has burst through the ground, destroying more than two dozen homes and resulting in evacuation orders for nearly 2,000 people. But the 61-year-old did not leave. "I love this place... Читать дальше...

Oliver North is poised to become the National Rifle Association’s next president, bringing star power at a time the group is pushing back against momentum for gun control.

The 49ers have released guard Zane Beadles, who was benched and replaced by Lake Tomlinson after starting last year’s season opener. The benching was part of a forgettable season for Beadles, 31, who entered 2017 having made 96 straight starts during which he missed just seven plays since becoming a starter with the Broncos in 2011. A 2010 second-round pick, Beadles was voted to the Pro Bowl with Denver in 2012. The 49ers released Beadles now to give him a chance to sign with another team before training camp. Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States on Monday asked the countries of the Western Hemisphere to suspend Venezuela from the 35-nation Organization of American States. Vice President Mike Pence also urged member states to cut off Venezuelan leaders from their financial systems and to enact visa restrictions. "To uphold the democracy and freedom, we call the members of the OAS to suspend Venezuela from the Organization of American States," said Pence, the first U.S. vice president to address the group since Al Gore in 1994.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin state senator accused of using offensive language in an argument with a Milwaukee bank teller said Monday she thought she could speak that way because both of them are black and conversations in black culture are different than in other settings. Sen. Lena Taylor, a Milwaukee Democrat, told a Wells Fargo branch teller on April 6 that he was a "good house (N-word)" because he wouldn't verify sufficient funds existed to cover a check Taylor received from a tenant, according to a police report.

WASHINGTON — President Trump intervened Monday in the West Virginia Republican Senate primary, pleading with voters a day before the election to oppose former mine operator Don Blankenship and suggesting that his nomination would lead to a replay of the party’s embarrassing loss last year in Alabama. Trump’s decision to speak out on the race came after Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., whom Blankenship has targeted in a deeply personal manner, urged the president in a telephone call to...

WASHINGTON — President Trump trained his rancor on federal investigators Monday and appeared to warn that negative material would emerge about the prosecutors leading the inquiry into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. In a series of Twitter posts Monday, the president said the investigation was being run by Democrats and raised the question of whether the special counsel’s work was being drawn out to influence the outcome of the upcoming midterm congressional elections...

BOULDER, Colo. — A world-class snowboarder, former Navy SEAL Josh Jespersen served for four years in Afghanistan and Iraq. Last year, he set a single-winter record by climbing and boarding down 54 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks. When not chasing powder or working as a security guard, Jespersen takes wounded veterans on outdoor treks. Now he’s undertaking a different kind of expedition — urging mountain-state politicians to take seriously the threat of climate change, and working to vote them out of office if they don’t.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A federal appeals court on Monday blocked a lawsuit against Baltimore's top prosecutor filed by five police officers who said she maliciously investigated and charged them in the death of a black man who suffered a fatal spinal injury in custody. The Richmond, Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a ruling by a lower court judge, court records show. That judge had allowed key parts of the lawsuit against Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby to go forward. Читать дальше...

Davida Coady never gave up on people, even after they gave up on themselves. She mortgaged her house to create the first of 10 alcoholism treatment centers in the East Bay, known as Options Recovery Services. And when she wasn’t treating clients there, she was visiting prisons and teaching inmates how to counsel one another out of addiction. “I was completely hopeless, but she believed in me,” said her husband of 16 years, Tom Gorham, who met his future wife while he was sitting in a Berkeley jail cell.
