WASHINGTON (AP) — This was the week when "would" turned into "wouldn't" and "no" meant "yes," as President Donald Trump and his top aides tried to walk back several of his comments on Russia and the Federal Reserve. At one point, the rhetorical zigzags left one senator lamenting a "walk-back of the walk-back" that was, she said, "dizzying." A look at a week of walk-backs: 'WOULD' vs. 'WOULDN'T' Trump was asked at the end of Monday's summit in Helsinki with Russian President Vladimir Putin: "Who do you believe" ... Читать дальше...

Baby Boomers and Gen Xers like to fault millennials for complaining about, well, everything, but it looks like 20-somethings finally have some ground to stand on with one big gripe: It's harder now than ever before to lose weight. And before you let mom and dad tell you it's because of — what else? — social media, think again. Those #foodporn photos kids these days post all the time aren't doing the damage. (At least, there's not a study on that yet.)

In an event filled with golfers from around the world, an all-Bay Area final remains a distinct possibility in the U.S. Girls Junior Championship.

The U.S. women’s team showcased some of the tournament’s best combinations of speed and power on the first day of the Rugby World Cup Sevens on Friday. What may not have been so obvious is that Team USA apparently has the world’s top water distributors, too. After allowing Russia to get within a try in the final two minutes of a quarterfinal at a deafening AT&T Park, U.S. head coach Richie Walker relayed a message to his players via the water girls. “We know what we can do...

BALTIMORE (AP) — On the Baltimore Museum of Art's first floor, there are relics from the United States' southern border. A child's abandoned pink sandal. A dirty toothbrush. Crushed plastic jugs that once held people's water as they struggled to make their way into this country from Mexico. Artist Erick Antonio Benitez collected the artifacts during trips to the 1,954-mile border and used them as part of his immersive art installation, which aims to draw attention to the plight migrants face on their journey to the United States.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — With a mask strapped around his head and covering his nose and mouth, Luis Allende rolled white paint on the ceiling in the dining room of a split-level home on Grubb Road in Brandywine Hundred.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Megan and Andrew Oxford have a problem — they're out $1,663 — and they're hoping a Richland County magistrate will fix it. The money went toward medical expenses for the couple's Boston Terrier, Girlie. Like most families with dogs, they love Girlie. "She's almost like a human," Andrew Oxford says. "You tell her something to do and she knows what you're saying." In December, the couple said they heard Girlie whimper from the backyard and looked out to find her being attacked by two other dogs.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — For the last 11 years, Jerry Kroll has specialized in finding homes for the dogs few people want to adopt: the shy ones, the seniors with silver fur, the three-legged hopefuls on the rebound. The longtime volunteer for the SPCA of Wake County looks for dogs who can't promote themselves — the hounds with chewed-off ears, the mutts that don't wag tails, the pit bulls with a scary-sounding name. And after a decade, Kroll, 85, has ushered more than 300 hard-luck canines into a new family's minivan — a record of 300-0. Читать дальше...

When Kathleen Knight isn’t teaching belly dancing classes in Tulsa, Okla., she’s often searching for bargain clothes, nail art and knickknacks from overseas merchants on Wish. But the one product Knight wishes she’d never bought from the e-commerce app is makeup. The 41-year-old purchased cosmetics last year that she said were listed as Urban Decay and MAC products. The makeup took about two months to arrive, and when they did, she saw immediately something was off. The eyeliner fell out of its tubes... Читать дальше...

Sony showed a new trailer of “Venom” at San Diego Comic-Con 2018, and revealed that there’s gonna be a whole bunch of other super-powered alien symbiote creatures other than Venom in the upcoming pseudo-“Spider-Man” spinoff. The character Venom actually isn’t one person, but two: the human Eddie Brock (played by Tom Hardy) and an alien creature called a symbiote that bonds with him and acts as the black, shape-changing suit he wears. In the Marvel Comics universe from which Venom hails, he’s not the only symbiote out there. Читать дальше...

A Madison Bumgarner start in an American League park creates intrigue. Will manager Bruce Bochy let Bumgarner bat?

Bumgarner doubled and scored in the Giants’ 12-6 win. He is not expecting to hit again when he pitches Sunday. “I haven’t talked to him... Читать дальше...
