CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Teodoro Petkoff, a giant of Venezuela's politics who led a band of communist guerrillas in his youth before winning the praise of Wall Street in a top government post and then launching a newspaper that fearlessly railed against socialist President Hugo Chavez, died Wednesday. Xabier Coscojuela, editor of the newspaper Tal Cual, said the paper's founder died after a long illness. Petkoff was 86. Petkoff was celebrated as a critical thinker who maintained his political independence... Читать дальше...

For the first nine seasons of his 12-year NFL career, linebacker Matt Millen was viewed as a poster boy for the renegade Raiders. Millen once punched Patriots general manager John Sullivan after a playoff loss with the Silver and Black, had endless in-game scraps and was among the Raiders’ leading villains. And then, in 1989, Millen joined the 49ers, the franchise of cerebral head coach Bill Walsh and his revolutionary West Coast offense. “So I’d get into four or five fights a game and I’d lose...

PITTSBURGH — The suspect in the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre was indicted by a federal grand jury Wednesday, and members of a grief-stricken Jewish community endured another round of funerals for victims of the worst anti-Semitic attack in American history. Robert Bowers, a 46-year-old truck driver who authorities say raged against Jews as he gunned down 11 and wounded six, was charged in a 44-count indictment with murder, hate crimes and other offenses that could bring the death penalty.

An object example of how a film can be entertaining and even exhilarating without being particularly good, “Bohemian Rhapsody” has the driving energy of a stadium anthem and the fizzy meaninglessness of a bubblegum pop song. As a biopic of flamboyantly theatrical gay frontman Freddie Mercury, the movie frequently falls short, but it does provide interesting origin stories for many of the hits created by Mercury’s band Queen. Wisely, the movie wraps everything up with a rousing recreation of Queen stealing the show at 1985’s Live Aid... Читать дальше...

Here’s a bucket list item you don’t see very often: TV legend Carl Reiner says his personal goal these days is to stay alive until 2020 — just long enough to vote Donald Trump out of office.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Two police officers used excessive force while arresting two Latino teenagers, and one officer said "welcome to the white man's world," according to a federal indictment unsealed in Massachusetts. Springfield police Officer Gregg Bigda and former detective Steven Vignault pleaded not guilty during an initial court appearance Wednesday, hours after they were arrested. A judge released both men without bail. Bigda served a 60-day suspension in connection with the February 2016 confrontation. Читать дальше...

BOISE, Idaho — Their anger is all over social media for the whole world to see, with rants about minorities, relationships gone bad or paranoid delusions about perceived slights. The perpetrators of mass shootings often provide a treasure trove of insight into their violent tendencies, but the information is not always seen by law enforcement until after the violence is carried out. In addition, rants and hate speech rarely factor into whether someone passes a background check to buy guns.

The man arrested in Florida last week in connection with the rash of crude pipe bombs sent to outspoken critics of President Trump had been planning his campaign for at least three months, and his laptop and cell phone are now providing investigators with a trove of fresh evidence, new court papers say. Calling the bomb spree “a domestic terrorist attack,” prosecutors gave a glimpse into its origins, describing in the court papers how the laptop of the suspect, Cesar Sayoc, had been used, as early as July...

It’s hard to believe that Brian De Palma’s “Carrie” came out almost 42 years ago. Star John Travolta took to Instagram to share a set photo from the horror film to remind us. “On the set of #Carrie over 40 years ago,” Travolta wrote on Instagram on Tuesday. “I don’t think any of us could have known the life the movie would take on for decades…or how many times we’d have to explain to our families the blood was actually corn syrup!” Read the full article on The Wrap

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A new proposal would require Spokane police to destroy rifles and shotguns that have been seized or abandoned rather than selling them to firearms dealers. The Spokesman-Review reports the new ordinance would require police to destroy all types of guns that are obtained through investigations or forfeited for any other reason. It exempts antique firearms or guns police obtained before 1993. It also exempts guns that are unusual, or have been illegally modified so officers can use them for training. Читать дальше...

There is a possibility that the Raiders defense could face a 49ers offense Thursday evening led by quarterback Nick Mullens. To which many Raiders fans, and national viewers tuning into a primetime matchup of one-win teams, might reply: Who? With franchise quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo lost for the year to a torn ACL and backup C.J. Beathard dealing with a sprained right wrist, the 49ers could turn to Mullens, an undrafted player who has not taken a regular-season snap and would be making his NFL debut. Читать дальше...

New evidence about a cancer operation in women finds a higher death rate for the less invasive version, challenging standard practice and the "less is more" approach to treating cervical cancer.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Nearly two decades ago, Pennsylvania regulators were confronted with evidence that a well-regarded pediatrician had fondled the genitals of two small children during office visits. Instead of holding him accountable, regulators let the doctor keep his medical license. He went on to molest at least a dozen more young patients, victimizing children right up until the time of his arrest in January, prosecutors say. Now, as Dr.
