PHOENIX (AP) — A lawyer says he represents three family members of an Arizona woman killed when struck by an autonomous Uber vehicle and that his clients aren't part of an apparent settlement involving two other relatives. Attorney Patrick McGroder did not immediately respond Saturday to an email from The Associated Press but told Arizona media outlets Friday that he represents the mother, father and son of Elaine Herzberg. The 49-year-old woman was killed March 18 as she walked her bike across a dark street in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe. Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump hailed the start of his long-sought U.S.-Mexico border wall this past week, proudly tweeting photos of the "WALL!" Actually, no new work got underway. The photos showed the continuation of an old project to replace 2 miles of existing barrier. And on Saturday, he ripped Amazon with a shaky claim that its contract with the post office is a "scam." Trump and his officials departed from reality on a variety of subjects in recent days: the census, Amazon's practices... Читать дальше...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Vic Schaefer and his Mississippi State Bulldogs carry a constant reminder of how far they went in the women's NCAA Tournament last year, and what must still be done. It's right there, engraved on the side of their runner-up rings: "ONE MORE." A season after losing to South Carolina 67-55 in the title game, Morgan William and the Bulldogs try again to win that elusive first crown. They play Notre Dame on Sunday night in a matchup of teams that both have spoiled perfect seasons for mighty UConn. Читать дальше...

THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — Large sections of the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki have been without water for a fifth day because of damage to an old pipeline, prompting a judicial investigation into the city's state-owned water company. The center and northwestern parts of Greece's second-largest city have been without water since Tuesday, when a 40-year-old pipeline that brings water to the city from 50 kilometers (31 miles) away burst.

WASHINGTON (AP) — El presidente Donald Trump atacó de nuevo el sábado al minorista en línea Amazon.com, afirmando que su acuerdo con el Correo para entregar paquetes es una pérdida de dinero para los contribuyentes estadounidenses. Sin embargo, los reguladores federales dicen que el contrato del correo federal con Amazon es rentable. Trump tuiteó que "el Servicio de Correo perderá un promedio de 1,50 dólares por cada paquete de Amazon que entrega. Eso equivale a Miles de Millones de Dólares". "Si... Читать дальше...

VENICE, Italy (AP) — A museum is opening in the Venetian hometown of Giacomo Casanova, the 18th-century adventurer and bon vivant, in hopes of educating visitors about more than just his notorious womanizing. The Giacomo Casanova Museum and Experience doesn't hide Casanova's libidinous side. In fact, the six-room museum includes a bedroom where a shadow installation makes it seem as if Casanova is seducing a woman right in front of visitors. But curators are seeking to shed light on other aspects of the Venetian scholar and writer whose memoir... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is again attacking online retailer Amazon.com, calling its business deal with the U.S. Postal Service to deliver packages a money-losing agreement that hurts U.S. taxpayers. Federal regulators, however, have found the contract with Amazon to be profitable. In tweets Saturday, Trump said "the U.S. Post Office will lose $1.50 on average for each package it delivers for Amazon. That amounts to Billions of Dollars." He added: "If the P.O. 'increased its parcel rates, Amazon's shipping costs would rise by $2.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — In the nervous hours before Kansas' bus ride to the Alamodome for its NCAA Tournament semifinal, most of the Jayhawks will be crammed together in their hotel rooms while they fight 99 opponents to be the last one standing in the post-apocalyptic world of Fortnite. The planet's hottest video game — or, to be specific, its Fortnite: Battle Royale spinoff — is consuming the free time of college students everywhere, and the Final Four is no exception. "It's the best game out right now," Kansas guard Marcus Garrett said. Читать дальше...

BOSTON (AP) — Jonathan Garland's fascination with architecture started early: He spent much of his childhood designing Lego houses and gazing at Boston buildings on rides with his father away from their largely minority neighborhood. But when Garland looked around at his architectural college, he didn't see many who looked like him — there were few black faces in classroom seats, and fewer teaching skills or giving lectures. "If you do something simple like Google 'architects' and you go to the images tab... Читать дальше...

TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Protesters in Albania burned down toll boxes and scuffled with police Saturday over the country's first toll road, authorities said. A peaceful protest involving a few hundred people opposed to the toll road near the Kalimash tunnel in northern Albania turned violent, with participants throwing stones, then breaking down the collection boxes with bars and setting them on fire. Interior Minister Fatmir Xhafaj said 13 police officers were injured in the clashes. Media outlets reported that some protesters were also injured.

NEW YORK (AP) — Though Facebook gets the attention because of a recent privacy gaffe, the social network is far from alone in collecting massive amounts of data on you to help marketers sell you stuff. Google, for one, also does extensive tracking to power its advertising engines. And many other websites and apps run ads sold by Facebook and Google and exchange data with them. Beyond that, plenty of services including Uber and Amazon keep detailed histories on you. Here are some of the ways to block or minimize such tracking ... Читать дальше...

WALLA WALLA, Wash. (AP) — Jean Fredno Occenc seems destined to be in Walla Walla, at least for this season of his life. How a Haiti-born cook got here — and enrolled in Walla Walla Community College — is a tale of far more than destiny, however. It's a story of one Tri-Cities family and their unexpected urge to change at least one life. Occenc, known as Fredno to family and friends, is currently enrolled in WWCC's culinary arts program, where he recently started working with Asian cuisine. Which is fine... Читать дальше...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Notre Dame's Arike Ogunbowale swished her jumper with a second left and jumped to celebrate. In one joyous moment, she knew exactly how Mississippi State's Morgan William felt one year earlier. It's an incredible feeling to beat the best in overtime. And now, the teams that are already part of Final Four lore for pulling off the big upsets of UConn will play each other for a title of their own. Ogunbowale hit a jumper from just inside the arc with a second left — nothing but net in the clutch ... Читать дальше...

Today in History Today is Saturday, March 31, the 90th day of 2018. There are 275 days left in the year.

PHOENIX (AP) — This year's Easter eggs may already be hard-boiled, dyed and laid in a basket, but Arizona buyers might wind up with a batch that's a little less fresh next year. State lawmakers are considering an unusual proposal to put a 45-day expiration date on Grade A eggs, a longer window of use than the current 24-day sell-by date that's one of the strictest in the U.S. That means Arizona consumers could be cracking and cooking eggs that left the farm more than six weeks ago — and food safety experts say that's perfectly safe.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal court in Washington told the Trump administration Friday the government can't interfere with the ability of pregnant teens in the country illegally and being held in federal custody to obtain abortions. The court issued an order Friday evening barring the government from "interfering with or obstructing" pregnant immigrant children in federal custody from accessing abortion counseling or abortions, among other things, while a lawsuit proceeds. Lawyers for the Department of Health and Human Services... Читать дальше...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It's fair to say that a lot of people awoke Friday to a headline that might have jolted them more awake than a morning cup of joe: A California judge had ruled that coffee sold in the state should carry a cancer warning.
