Freshly cleared of doping, the Team Sky rider was booed at by the crowd at the Tour teams presentation Thursday, two days before the race begins in the Vendee region. “We need to tell the people whistling that it is stupid and that it is useless,” Prudhomme said Friday. “I’m calling for serenity.

Cozze Kid posted perhaps the most impressive debut by a 2-year-old at Golden Gate Fields since Shared Belief in 2013 when she romped to an 8¾-length victory on May 4. Her time of 51.96 seconds for 4½ furlongs missed the track record by just 0.64 seconds. Three of her four opponents that day were males, but she is the only filly running against six males in Saturday’s $100,000 Everett Nevin Stakes for California-bred or -sired 2-year-olds at the Alameda County Fair. ...

More than $2.5 trillion in mergers were announced during the first half of the year, as fears of Silicon Valley’s growing ambitions helped drive a record run of deal-making. Four of the 10 biggest deals were struck in part to fend off competition from the largest technology companies as the value of acquisitions announced during the first six months of the year increased 61 percent from the same period in 2017, according to data compiled by Thomson Reuters. That has put mergers in 2018 on pace to surpass $5 trillion... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK — Carlos Garcia was three years into his first job in technology at Merrill Lynch when he first learned what a 401(k) retirement savings account was. He was floored when he learned that a colleague had already saved $30,000 in three years, and the company had matched it. The concept of making money off money was foreign to Garcia, an MIT graduate who was born in Texas to immigrants from Mexico. His story is not uncommon among U.S. Hispanics, who lag behind other demographic... Читать дальше...

The Republican candidate running to unseat the congressman who represents much of Contra Costa County is a Holocaust denier whose campaign website contains anti-Semitic and racist writings.

He received 23 percent of the vote in the June primary to qualify for the November general election, where his opponent will be Democratic Rep. Читать дальше...

1 Sexual misconduct: An Indiana lawmaker at the center of groping allegations against state Attorney General Curtis Hill came forward Friday to accuse him publicly of groping her twice during a party earlier this year, ratcheting up pressure on the embattled Republican to resign.

Mara Candelaria Reardon described Hill’s behavior as “deviant.” Hill has denied allegations that he groped Candelaria Reardon and three other legislative staffers, which were included in a memo leaked to news organizations this week.

There is real magic in this world. Growing up in Spata, a small town outside of Athens, Greece, I never imagined Marvel would one day give me the opportunity to introduce them to an even stranger, more mind-bending version of the alternate dimension where Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) finds herself trapped for 30 years — and from which her daughter Hope (Evangeline Lilly) fights bravely to bring her home. Still, I wish the characters in “Ant-Man and the Wasp” were a bit more curious about the mysteries of the Quantum Realm. Читать дальше...

Scarlett Johansson’s choice to play a transgender man in an upcoming role has been met with scorn from many in the trans community. But columnists have been weighing in too, largely with disapproval. In an opinion piece for The New York Times, trans author Jennifer Finney Boylan said Johansson’s casting reminded her of Mickey Rooney’s portrayal of Mr. Yunioshi in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” which received backlash for using “yellowface” and caricaturing. Rooney, of course, was a white man playing an asian. Читать дальше...
