By now, most Seattle area beer lovers know about the wonders of Ballard and its eight or ten breweries (depends on where you draw the lines). The neighborhood once defined by it Scandinavian heritage has become known as a destination for the region’s beer lovers as well...

(AP) — Seattle Seahawks running back Fred Jackson will play Thursday night against San Francisco after being examined by the team following a minor car crash, coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday. How that happened within a short time I don't know ... and Fred talked to the team as well to give everybody the heads up to make sure we're doing the right things and not making any more mistakes. The Renton Police Department said that shortly before 5 p.m. PDT, Jackson lost control of his 2016 Chevrolet Corvette as he drove down Seahawks Way. Читать дальше...

The automaker reported better-than-expected third-quarter profit, overcoming costs from its ignition switch recall. A short seller's research firm accused the drug company of creating a network of phantom pharmacies to fool auditors, which it denied. The beverage company reported a drop in third-quarter profit and revenue on charges due to cost-cutting measures and a strong dollar.

The show's producers say the prolific comedian-filmmaker will be at the helm for the 88th Academy Awards on Feb. 28 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The 50-year-old entertainer posted a photo of himself with an Oscar statuette on Twitter Wednesday with the caption, "Look who's back." The film academy has visibly increased its diversity outreach efforts since it was derided earlier this year for its all-white slate of acting nominees. Other acting credits include the The Longest Yard, ''Lethal Weapon 4 and the Madagascar animated movies.

Thankfully, Murray wakes up, and the movie gets a little better, but in sum, "Rock the Kasbah" is a strange mishmash of snark, sincerity, slapstick and glib cultural appropriation that's redeemed in part only by the eternal charisma of Murray. From there, the movie suddenly becomes a mad-cap series of increasingly disparate events as Richie struts and jokes his way through a foreign land after Ronnie absconds with his money and passport. Within a day of discovering that he's stranded in Kabul for a few weeks... Читать дальше...

(AP) — BP settlement funds meant for ecological restoration won't be diverted to finish a $350 million project to elevate a highway to connect the mainland with a key oil and gas port at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico — something environmental groups and even gubernatorial candidates have railed against. On Wednesday, the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, a panel which oversees coastal matters in south Louisiana, voted instead to look at using another source of money for the La.

There have been no major road closures, but some icy roads have been reported, the Colorado Department of Transportation said. A total of 14 snow plows cleared roads in the mountains, and authorities are gearing up to conduct tire checks along highways and in parking lots to make sure people comply with laws requiring snow tires or chains, Transportation Department spokeswoman Amy Ford said.

First the bad news: "Suffragette" isn't a Meryl Streep movie, despite what you may have seen in the trailer. Mulligan, like Streep, is simply a mesmerizing actress, one who can make even pedestrian material sing with the honesty, sophistication and nuance she brings to every role, on screen or stage (count yourself eternally lucky if you caught her recent Broadway run in "Skylight.") [...] even though that character spoke jovially of women chaining themselves to wheels or being carried off to prison... Читать дальше...

Pride of the NFC West? The NFC West standings make little sense. In Seattle, the once fearsome defense does late in games. In San Francisco, the overhauling of the roster, particularly so many retirements by key players, has hurt. [...] this is one of the league's nastiest rivalries, even with Jim Harbaugh gone from the Bay Area. Seahawks All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman doesn't long to see Harbaugh or sparring partner Michael Crabtree, the wide receiver now in Oakland. Jim Tomsula, Harbaugh's replacement as Niners coach...

There's also no increase in money for NHTSA to hire more staff to investigate potential safety defects and oversee automakers despite testimony that the agency doesn't have enough people to follow up on safety complaints. The bill also doesn't include provisions long sought by safety advocates to require that rental car agencies and used car dealers repair recalled vehicles before renting or selling them. Critics are overstating the ability automakers would have to delay recalls under the GOP bill's... Читать дальше...

The work was part of a project to make several repairs on the bridge, including replacing steel hatches, repairing the bridge deck and repairing damaged guard rails.

DALLAS (AP) — A foundation to honor the Monuments Men treasure hunters who saved 5 million works of art during World War II says it is closing due to a lack of funds. Edsel is a Dallas-based author who wrote "The Monuments Men," which was made into a 2014 movie starring George Clooney. The foundation's seven-person team will stop operating at the end of the month, but Edsel will pay for two researchers to finish writing the short biographies the foundation publishes online. The 345 treasure hunters... Читать дальше...

CHICAGO (AP) — Marijuana use among U.S. adults doubled over a decade, rising to almost 10 percent or more than 22 million mostly recreational users, government surveys show. The trend reflects a cultural shift and increasingly permissive views about the drug, the researchers say, noting that other studies have shown increasing numbers of adults think marijuana should be legalized. EXPERTS' TAKE Because most states didn't have medical marijuana laws during the survey years, the results likely reflect mostly recreational use... Читать дальше...

While those doodads are hardly prevalent today, the film did accurately tease the rise of such technology as flat-screen televisions, biometric scanning and hands-free gaming. "Back to the Future" Day is being celebrated Wednesday with an appearance by the original cast at a Lincoln Center screening in New York, as well as several fan-centric events and more than 1,700 theaters hosting screenings across the country. "Back to the Future" filmmaker Robert Zemeckis' trilogy has left a lasting impression... Читать дальше...

No more Jim Harbaugh trying to outdo old nemesis Pete Carroll, and neither team sitting atop the NFC West standings this time. "Record-wise, people wouldn't say it's the same game, because usually we come to this game and we're both 4-2 or 5-1 or maybe 6-0 at this point," Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett said. Seattle, then the defending Super Bowl champion, whipped San Francisco 19-3 at Levi's Stadium, then eliminated the 49ers from playoff contention less than three weeks later with a 17-7 win in Seattle.

The world's largest beverage maker got nearly three-quarters of its global sales volume from carbonated drinks last year. In the U.S., people have been moving away from soda for years given its reputation for making people fat and the growing number of options in the beverage aisle. [...] diet sodas have also suffered — a trend Coke executives blame on concerns about artificial sweeteners.

What was once considered arguably the NFL's best rivalry seems like it is no longer.

NEW YORK (AP) — Faster production of commercial jets continues to drive profits at the Boeing Co., which saw earnings jump 25 percent in the third quarter. The Chicago-based company on Wednesday posted a $1.7 billion net profit, up from $1.36 billion during the same period last year. The challenge now for Boeing is to bring down the production cost of the long-delayed Dreamliner so it can bring in more cash and maybe, someday, breakeven on the plane whose development costs ran over budget.

BEIRUT (AP) — The bodies of seven Lebanese migrants from the same family who drowned when their boat capsized on the way to Europe have been brought back to their homeland from Turkey. The father and mother, their two young daughters, and five other relatives drowned when their boat was punctured and sank Oct. 12.
