BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota's biggest farm group wants increased crop subsidies and other revenue loss protections in the compromise version of the massive federal farm bill. North Dakota Farmers Union President Mark Watne (WAHT'-nee) says it's needed to guard against retaliatory tariffs on U.S. agriculture exports. Watne says that's the message he's bringing Friday to a meeting of agriculture officials and others hosted by Republican U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer to the 2018 farm bill. Cramer was... Читать дальше...

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — San Antonio officials insist a historic monument must be relocated as part of the $450 million plan to redevelop the Alamo. City Councilman Roberto Trevino tells the San Antonio Express-News that the 1930s Cenotaph doesn't fit on-site and obscures views. He says the city isn't considering leaving the 60-foot (18-meter) in its current location. The monument honors Alamo defenders killed in the 1836 battle. Relocating the structure has been the most vocally opposed issue in the plan proposed in 2014 by the city... Читать дальше...

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland's parliament voted Friday to approve legislation that will make it easier for the ruling party to appoint the president and members of the Supreme Court and influence judges. It was the latest development in the right-wing ruling party's overhaul of the justice system that has sparked outrage from the opposition and from international law experts. European Union leaders say the changes threaten member Poland's rule of law and have opened sanctioning procedures. Dominated by the ruling Law and Justice party... Читать дальше...

Q: I have a problem with Viator, a site that sells tours. I booked four of its tours in Naples, Italy, this year. Unfortunately, I had to cancel the tours because I developed bronchitis and a middle ear infection in both ears. My doctor said I couldn’t travel. I emailed Viator to cancel my trips. Three of the four tours offered an immediate refund. However, my tour of the Sea Grottoes of the Amalfi Coast, for which I paid $775, did not respond.

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon State University professor is using federal funds to conduct research on how embers form and spread during devastating wildfires.

A number of Warriors players actively recruited DeMarcus Cousins to the Bay Area, but the newly-signed Warrior can definitely state which one of them presented the worst pitch.

This 1966 film has not necessarily aged well, but it has aged in interesting ways. Like most things that were once the epitome of absolute in-the-moment fashion, some of the things in this film seem ridiculous. It’s about an arrogant young fashion photographer (David Hemmings), who accidentally stumbles onto evidence of a murder. But the murder isn’t the focus of the story, but rather the photographer’s life of parties, fashion models and going around wearing tight white pants. As such, the movie is about life in 1966 ...

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A Tulsa teacher who was launched into the spotlight last year after panhandling for money to buy school supplies is back on the streets to advocate for teachers and collect supplies. The Tulsa World reports that Teresa Danks began panhandling by Interstate 44 on the one-year mark from the first time she hit the streets July 19, 2017. She has since left her position teaching third grade at Grimes Elementary School because she felt uncertain the teacher pay raises would stick. Читать дальше...

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — In a June 12 story about the North Carolina General Assembly overriding Gov. Roy Cooper's budget veto, The Associated Press misidentified a legislator debating the override question. The lawmaker was Rep. Jean Farmer-Butterfield, not James Farmer-Butterfield.

HOUSTON (AP) — A digital forensic expert says a GPS device owned by a Jordanian-born man on trial for capital murder places him at the same time and place of a 2012 Texas slaying. The Houston Chronicle reports that Christian Mammarella testified Thursday before the prosecution rested in Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan's trial. Mammarella said GPS data shows Irsan traveled to the Houston-area home and workplaces of his Christian son-in-law, Coty Beavers, dozens of times before he was shot to death. Irsan's...

State Rep. Paul Mosley is heard telling a sheriff's deputy on a body cam recording of the traffic stop that he had been going 120 mph (193 kph) and he has been gone 140 mph (225 kph) before.

“Billionaire Boys Club” is probably the last new Kevin Spacey we’re going to be seeing in a while, so either enjoy it or avoid it with that in mind. The film is a so-so rendering of a remarkable real-life story from the 1980s, and, under different circumstances, it probably would have been a small to middling theatrical release. Instead, it has gone straight to video on demand, the movie equivalent of an upturned collar, a floppy hat and sunglasses, with an expected opening in August in theaters. Читать дальше...

White House communications chief Bill Shine’s troubled tenure running Fox News continues to surface. On Friday, The New York Times reported that the former co-president of the news network was subpoenaed in 2017 as part of a criminal investigation into the company’s handling of multiple accusations of sexual harassment by top executives like former CEO Roger Ailes and on-air talent. Though Shine was never personally accused of misconduct, he has been named in multiple civil suits against the channel... Читать дальше...

A lot of [actors] have signed on. There’s a 90% chance it’ll finally happen.” Also Read... Читать дальше...

If our headline seems like a strange takeaway from an interview with a football coach-turned reality TV star, just watch a few episodes of “Last Chance U” Season 3. And then watch a few more, because Greg Whitley’s Netflix docuseries is (still) really good, and ICC’s Jason Brown is quite the character. A few of the non-pigskin-related recurring topics on this just-released run of “Last Chance U” revolve around the Independence Community College head football coach’s luxury possessions, like his...
