BOSTON (AP) — Fresh off a convincing re-election win, Republican Gov. Charlie Baker is pledging to serve all four years of his second term but won't say yet whether he hopes to continue in office beyond that. Unofficial returns from Tuesday showed Baker winning about two-thirds of the vote in his race against Democrat Jay Gonzalez, including solid showings in Boston and other typically Democratic-leaning urban areas. Baker began his day by meeting top staff and his cabinet. He said Wednesday was a "work day" like any other... Читать дальше...

President Donald Trump held a press conference Wednesday to explain his view of what the 2018 midterms meant. In an often dry rundown of numbers and statistics, Trump took a moment to name-drop Oprah Winfrey and commend her for her tough campaigning on behalf of Georgia’s democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. “People … worked very very hard respectfully for those candidates, like Oprah Winfrey, who I like. I don’t know if she likes me anymore but that’s ok. She used to,” said Trump. “But she worked very hard in Georgia. Читать дальше...

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Mainers have given the green light to four bond initiatives totaling $200 million. The proposals approved Tuesday mitigate wastewater pollution, upgrade transportation infrastructure and fund improvements at colleges and universities. One of them directs $30 million over the next decade to municipalities with subpar septic systems that are leaking untreated stormwater and sewage into the ocean and nearby lakes and rivers. Some of the money also would go to homeowners for similar improvements. Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump says if House Dems flood him with subpoenas, 'we're going to do the same thing' and government will come to a halt.

LOWELL, Mass. (AP) — A 45-year-old Massachusetts man who beat his girlfriend until she was unconscious and suffered bleeding in her brain has been sentenced to up to eight years in prison. The Lowell Sun reports that Christopher Martini was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to multiple charges including assault with intent to murder and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury. The Lowell man was charged in April after the victim's 7-year-old daughter found her mother unresponsive... Читать дальше...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio School Boards Association says voters around the state approved 69 percent of the public school district tax issues that were on ballots Tuesday. The group says there were 175 of those tax issues around Ohio, and unofficial elections results show voters approved 121 of them. They passed all but a few of the 81 issues that were renewals. Ninety-four new school tax issues were put to a vote, and fewer than half of those were approved. In two counties, some schools jointly... Читать дальше...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Voters approved a tax on San Francisco's wealthiest companies to fund homelessness services, but the measure is falling short of a two-thirds majority to ward off litigation. Proposition C had about 60 percent of the vote Wednesday, but critics say it needs to reach 67 percent because it is a "special tax" and not a general tax. San Francisco's largest private employer, Marc Benioff of Salesforce, donated at least $8 million to the cause, and called out Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey and others for their opposition.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump says midterm elections 'defied history' as he takes credit for GOP gains in Senate, minimizes House losses.

ATLANTA (AP) — Democrats and Republicans nationwide had their eyes trained on Georgia to see whether the emerging battleground state, would elect the first black woman governor in American history or double down on the Deep South's GOP tendencies with an acolyte of President Donald Trump. But they'll have to wait a little longer. Here's a look at what's happening in the contest, why Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams agree it's not over and what it means in Georgia and beyond. KEMP... Читать дальше...

While researching the history of Christmas movies, I watched 22 different adaptations of “A Christmas Carol,” and even that felt like just scratching the surface. So if Ebenezer Scrooge can be subject to myriad interpretations — even when some fans are convinced that one version or other is the “definitive” one — why shouldn’t the Grinch? That’s an easier argument to make now that we have “Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch” as an example of how to revisit the material, particularly since the 2000 live-action... Читать дальше...

The Parks Associates — a market research and consulting company — released an updated version of its top 10 subscription over-the-top (OTT) video services in the U.S. market Wednesday morning.

As the only “Big 4” broadcast network not to air midterm election coverage last night, Fox finished last among its key competition. Fox News Channel took care of all that politics stuff. CBS, NBC, and ABC’s current numbers are all subject to change due to the nature of live programming, though NBC did win Tuesday’s primetime in Nielsen’s overnight ratings. Official time zone-adjusted numbers are expected by 1 p.m. ET. Read the full article on The Wrap

You might wanna scratch “The Long Night” off all your “Game of Thrones” prequel pilot fan fiction — at least for now — because George R.R. Martin had to take back his premature announcement that that is in fact the name of the upcoming HBO project. “Oh, I should also mention … HBO has informed me that the Jane Goldman pilot is not (yet) titled THE LONG NIGHT,” Martin wrote on his Not A Blog blog Monday. “That’s is certainly the title I prefer, but for the moment the pilot is still officially UNTITLED.

The field is being filled with small crosses, often topped with photographs of a serviceman who died in the 1914-1918 war. Читать дальше...

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Republican Sherri Ybarra has narrowly won a second term as Idaho's superintendent of public instruction, defeating Democratic challenger Cindy Wilson. The race was too close to call for hours after Idaho's polls closed Tuesday night. But Ybarra's numbers pulled ahead as election officials continued to tally votes into the early hours Wednesday morning. The position requires overseeing the state's public school system. The superintendent of public instruction also serves on the five-member Idaho Land Board... Читать дальше...

While “Nutcracker and the Four Realms” failed to leave much of a mark on the box office, this weekend should see the start of a dominant period for family films, starting with Universal/Illumination’s “The Grinch.” The Dr. Seuss adaptation should post a solid opening, but will it be a major factor as more films fight for families in the coming weeks? Universal is projecting an opening weekend of $50 million for “The Grinch” from 4,140 screens, with independent trackers projecting estimates as high as $62 million. Читать дальше...

Right now is probably the best time of year to sign up for a new credit card. Why? Because it's the easiest time of year to score big sign-up bonuses offered by banks. One of the biggest hurdles to getting those fat 40,000-75,000 point or mile sign-up bonuses are the sometimes steep "minimum spend requirements" - you know, the base amount you have to spend in the first three months to get the points or miles.

You know that couple who met in a bar and discovered they both loved [Werner Herzog/Father John Misty/trips to Cabo/the color blue] so they began dating, and even after they realized they had nothing else in common it was easier to stay together than break up? We’ve all been around them. But do you want to watch their movie? Maybe, if you’ve also been them, or are willing to admit you’re still in a relationship that fits the above description.
