SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico education officials say the rate of high school students who are earning diplomas is the highest it has ever been. Gov. Susana Martinez, who is wrapping up her second and final term, announced Friday that the 2018 class marked the highest graduation rate in the state's history at 73 percent. While that's still below the national average, state officials say this year's numbers mark a 10 percent increase since 2011. Martinez said New Mexico students have made improvements...

The death of Chris Burrous, the co-anchor of Los Angeles’ “KTLA 5 Morning News,” has left both fans and co-workers stunned and saddened on Friday, with many of them sharing memories of the 43-year-old newsman on social media.

Even with the massive success of John Krasinski’s “A Quiet Place” and the latest installment of Tom Cruise’s “Mission Impossible” series, Paramount had a mostly flat 2018 at the box office. Though it crawled up a spot from 2017 to take sixth place in market share, pulling in just over $700 million in domestic box office to date, the Viacom-owned studio still lagged well ahead the five other majors and showed little sign it would reclaim the No. 1 spot it held as recently as 2011.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Chris Brown enfrenta cargos menores relacionados con un mono. La procuraduría de Los Ángeles confirmó el jueves que el cantante de 29 años fue acusado la semana pasada de dos cargos derivados de su posesión de un mono capuchino sin autorización. Brown publicó en enero en Instagram, donde tiene 44 millones de seguidores, una foto de su hija de 3 años, Royalty, abrazada a la mascota, llamada Fiji.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The 1968 television show known as Elvis Presley's comeback special is experiencing its own return and revitalization. Producer Steve Binder, who worked with Presley to create the show that helped return the singer the prominence, says he never expected the "Singer Presents...Elvis" special to endure.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania's highest court says mothers who use illegal drugs while pregnant can't be considered perpetrators of child abuse against their newly born children under the state's child protection law. The court's main opinion issued Friday says the law's definition of a child doesn't include fetuses or unborn children, and it says victims of perpetrators must be children. Two justices who dissented say what should matter is when the injury manifests itself, and that can be after the child is born. Читать дальше...

SEDALIA, Mo. (AP) — Authorities have arrested a man suspected of driving a getaway car after a Sedalia bank robbery. The Sedalia Democrat reports that the man was arrested Thursday on suspicion of felony stealing. He is suspected of waiting outside the Central Bank in Sedalia on Wednesday while another man went inside and demanded that a teller give him all the money she had in her drawer. Officers initially believed the suspect fled the area on foot with an undisclosed amount of money. An investigation... Читать дальше...

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A 24-year-old woman who spent her childhood in nearly a dozen foster homes has been adopted by the former central Indiana school resource officer she met as a sixth-grader. Shay Roberson-Wing tells The Indianapolis Star that she cried when Ginnie and Matt Wing officially adopted her in April. Roberson-Wing was 11 years old in 2005 when she entered the child welfare system because her mother was struggling with drug addiction. She says meeting Ginnie Wing at East Middle School...

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Wildlife officials in Maine say it's possible the state's bear hunt could be expanded to try to prevent the population of the animals from growing even more. Maine has the largest population of black bears on the East Coast, with more than 35,000 animals. Maine Inland Fisheries and Wildlife spokesman Mark Latti says the bear hunt could be changed to try to better manage the population. Latti tells WGME-TV that could mean increasing the number of animals a hunter's allowed to take... Читать дальше...

The Cleveland Cavaliers will sign Warriors restricted free agent Patrick McCaw to a nonguaranteed two-year, $6 million offer sheet Friday, according to multiple reports. Golden State has until Jan. 7 to decide whether to match Cleveland’s offer, which appears unlikely for a couple of reasons. The Warriors have repeatedly stated their desire to keep their 15th and final roster spot open for flexibility in the buyout market and other player-adding avenues. There is also the fact that, after declining a two-year... Читать дальше...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza says negotiating a deal for the city's water supply board and creating a universal pre-kindergarten program are his top two priorities as he moves into his second term. Elorza tells WPRI-TV that leasing the Providence Water Supply Board could quell long-term financial problems. The city has about $1 billion in owed retiree liabilities.

To make those crazy $500-or-so ultra-premium credit card annual fees easier to swallow, banks offer annual statement credits, which help ease the financial blow of carrying a very special wafer of plastic or metal in your wallet. These high-end cards include the Chase Sapphire Reserve, American Express Platinum, Gold or Hilton Aspire, or the Starwood Luxury card, among others.

NBC’s freshman sitcom “I Feel Bad” brought its first (and possibly only season) to a close with a pair of back-to-back episodes Thursday night. And though the Amy Poehler-produced comedy saw a slight rise in both total viewers and ratings within the key adults 18-49 demographic for the first of those two final installments, it definitely didn’t do “good.” CBS was first in ratings with a 0.7 rating/3 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 4.7 million, according to preliminary numbers.

The Warriors' struggles during a frustrating 2018-2019 season have been well-documented, particularly the team's uncharacteristically sloppy play on offense.

There used to be a term for people like Chris Burrous, the KTLA news anchor and field reporter who died Thursday at age 43. This term pretty much disappeared when everyone with WiFi and a WordPress blog site considered themselves a communicator. The term is “citizen journalist,” and that’s what Chris Burrous was, and that’s why he will be missed. Chris was the weekend anchor at KTLA, a Los Angeles-based TV station whose morning news became a juggernaut in content delivery. The news was personality driven... Читать дальше...

MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) — A state audit of the Mason City school district has uncovered more than $2.1 million in improper disbursements consisting largely of salary overpayments. The audit report released Friday says more than $1.3 million was salary to 66 employees that exceeded the authorized pay and increases approved by the school board. The figure also included other monetary benefits, such as vehicle and cellphone allowances given without board approval to some employees. The audit says hundreds... Читать дальше...

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The North Carolina board investigating allegations of ballot fraud in a still-unresolved congressional race prepared to be disbanded Friday under a state court ruling in a protracted legal battle about how the panel operates. A three-judge state court panel ruled Thursday to allow the state Board of Elections to dissolve at noon Friday, ahead of a scheduled Jan. 11 evidentiary hearing into the 9th district congressional race. It's not clear when a new election board could be put in place if the ruling stands.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The Latest on an investigation into ballot fraud allegations in North Carolina (all times local): 11:25 a.m. The North Carolina GOP says no Republicans will serve on a temporary elections board sought by the Democratic governor to finish an investigation into a contested congressional race.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi has appointed Florida Rep. Kathy Castor to lead a special committee on climate change that replaces one eliminated by Republicans in 2011.
