SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Republican voters in the U.S. Senate primary in Utah were deciding Tuesday between Mitt Romney and a state lawmaker who kept him from getting the GOP nomination at the party's convention as the former presidential candidate looks to restart his political career.

Some people cannot get enough of the summer fog in San Francisco, and for them there is a room full of it at the California Academy of Sciences. The immersive fog exhibit at the museum is a crucial aspect to telling the story of “Giants of Land and Sea.” But it’s not the only draw for the academy’s latest attraction. The exhibit, which is one of the largest since the expanded museum re-opened 10 years ago, houses an 8,000-pound cross section of a fallen ancient redwood, which survived... Читать дальше...

(Note: This post contains spoilers for later episodes of Netflix’s true crime documentary “The Staircase.” You might want to finish it before reading on.) The big turning point in “The Staircase” is when Mike Peterson, after being convicted of murdering his wife Katherine and serving eight years in prison, gets a chance at a new trial.

Jerry Seinfeld is questioning ABC’s decision to cancel Roseanne Barr’s rebooted sitcom in the wake of her incendiary tweet about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. “I didn’t see why it was necessary to fire her,” Seinfeld told “Entertainment Tonight” in a new interview. “Why would you murder someone who’s committing suicide?” ABC canceled “Roseanne” last month after Barr’s racially charged tweet about Jarrett, and subsequently ordered a spin-off, “The Conners,” based around the other characters in the sitcom.

The actor, Nasser al-Anbari, a well-known comedian who appeared in TV shows and online videos, grinned and waved Monday as he walked among the well-wishers in the southern city of Aden and motorists honked their car horns, a video filmed by his family shows.

Having dabbled in everything from untethered garage rock to moody dream pop, the British band the Horrors brings it all together on its fifth studio recording, “V.” Adding psychedelia, synth-pop and a pinch of krautrock to the already dense mix, the group led by vocalist Faris Badwan teamed up with producer Paul Epworth (U2, Adele) to deliver its crowning achievement.

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra sued the Trump administration Tuesday over its separation of undocumented immigrant children from their parents, as state officials confirmed that about 50 separated children were living in state-licensed care homes. Becerra and attorneys general from 17 other states took aim at the administration’s launch in early May of a “zero-tolerance” policy for those who illegally cross the southern border to the U.S. The move sent immigrants to criminal court and jailed them...

___ Another wave of sales leaves GE a vastly changed company NEW YORK (AP) — A year after taking over an ailing American conglomerate, CEO John Flannery is calving off larger chunks of General Electric, casting away its health care business and selling its interests in the oil-services company, Baker Hughes.

Joe Dante was a key figure in the great 1980s era of the imagination, and he always had a sharper, albeit sillier, edge than peers such as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Robert Zemeckis. Exhibit A: “Gremlins,” his 1984 savaging of Reagan-era small-town America that was essentially a horror remake of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” In 1990, Dante upped the game with “Gremlins 2: The New Batch,” a more outrageous and over-the-top sequel — unfortunately a critical and box office failure ...

Ernst Lubitsch’s characters were the coolest people in the room, and if you were in Depression-era America — and you were a steelworker, lawyer, stay-at-home mom, dishwasher or whatever — you felt that way too when you saw his films. The German-born director, who was drawn like a magnet to Hollywood in the early silent era, became the world’s expert in smooth sophistication, known as “the Lubitsch touch.” He was a master at the kind of escapism that helped define Tinseltown.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California voters can expect to see an initiative to limit liability for lead paint companies on their November ballots. The California Secretary of State announced Tuesday that the measure had collected enough signatures to make the ballot.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A sharply divided Supreme Court upheld President Donald Trump's ban on travel from several mostly Muslim countries Tuesday, the conservative majority taking his side in a major ruling supporting his presidential power.

The 5-4 decision was a big victory for Trump in the court's first substantive ruling on one of his administration's policies.... Читать дальше...
