The billionaire GOP front-runner joked at the end of the second debate of the Republican presidential primaries that "Humble" ought to be his Secret Service code name, drawing chuckles from the audience and his rivals alike. [...] the joke also came at the end of a debate in which Trump's trademark bombast — still present, to be sure — was leavened with a more conciliatory tone and honest-to-goodness compliments for his rivals that continued for nearly 24 hours. Trump's morning after couldn't have been more different from his first debate... Читать дальше...

The origin of one of her most attention-grabbing debate moments — her description of a video showing a fetus with legs kicking and heart beating — was already being questioned by abortion-rights groups, given that the scene she referenced apparently was based on a verbal account rather than a video. According to both Planned Parenthood and anti-abortion activists, there is no scene matching her description in any of the undercover videos at the heart of the debate over the disposition of fetal tissue from abortions.

SIMI VALLEY, Ventura County — Who is this Carly Fiorina? In the press filing center at the CNN Republican debate, journalists from around the country were asking reporter Carla Marinucci and me because we covered the former Hewlett-Packard CEO in 2010 when she ran for the Senate against Democrat Barbara Boxer — and failed spectacularly by 1 million votes. Yet here she is, winning the first two GOP primary debates and burning past veteran politicians who have won brutal elections in big states. Can she actually win? Читать дальше...

While working blue-collar jobs, I lived in my car for a few years. On a cold winter night several years ago, I met Dr. X in the emergency room. [...] he arranged for me to be admitted to the hospital for a day so I could get warmed up and recover. When I left the hospital, I found a $100 bill in the gas tank door of my van. When I sent my reservation and check to the reunion committee, it was returned uncashed with a $50 bill along with a note saying “Please don’t come.” The reunion was being held on the estate of Dr. Читать дальше...

Pittsburgh’s Antonio Brown was the 22nd wide receiver selected in the 2010 draft, and the wideouts picked directly before him are a stunning who’s-that trio: Brown hasn’t reached the level of the league’s most famous sixth-round pick, Tom Brady, but he’s on a similar trajectory entering the 49ers’ visit to Heinz Field on Sunday. Since 2013, Brown (5-foot-10, 181 pounds) leads the NFL in receptions (248) and receiving yards (3,330) and has scored 21 touchdowns. Last year, he had the sixth most... Читать дальше...

Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos have beaten the Kansas City Chiefs every way imaginable over the years, from playoff shootouts to defensive tug-of-wars. Denver cornerback Bradley Roby returned Jamaal Charles’ second fumble 21 yards for a touchdown with 27 seconds left, completing a stunning comeback in the closing minute for a 31-24 victory — the visiting Broncos’ seventh straight over their AFC West rivals. Charles finished with 125 yards rushing and a touchdown, but he will remember his fumbles ... Читать дальше...

Khalil Mack’s coming-out party was delayed Khalil Mack’s coming-out party as one of the best defensive players in the NFL was delayed. The defensive end was held largely in check by the Bengals’ offensive line Sunday, finishing with just three solo tackles in the season opener as the rest of the defense crumbled around him. Besides a lot of pre-snap formation changes and quarterback Andy Dalton getting rid of the ball fast, the Bengals also double-teamed Mack at times. Mack had two quarterback pressures in 31 pass-rushing snaps. Читать дальше...

The Pirates will have to make their final push for the playoffs without rookie infielder Jung Ho Kang, who will miss the rest of the season after injuring his left leg Thursday in a loss to the Cubs in Pittsburgh. Kang has a broken left tibia and torn ligament in his knee, the result of Chris Coghlan’s slide into him at second while attempting to break up a double play as Kang was throwing to first. “It is unfortunate that what would be considered heads-up baseball...

DAVIDSON, N.C. — Stephen Curry isn’t one to forget his roots. The NBA’s Most Valuable Player returned to his alma mater, Davidson College, on Thursday to show off the Larry O’Brien NBA championship trophy with the small school’s close-knit community. Curry worked out with Davidson players and participated in a question-and-answer period with college students, whom he told, “I’m going to try to represent you guys the best that I can from here on out.” He also banked in a 25-foot jumper...

Nate Broussard doesn’t let his emotions show much. The Cal linebacker prefers to navigate personal circumstances on his own, using a stoic demeanor to mask any turmoil or glee. Saturday, after piling up seven tackles in the Bears’ win over San Diego State, Broussard stepped out of the Memorial Stadium locker room with a grin. It was the subtle sign of a milestone cleared. After losing two seasons to ACL injuries, the 6-foot-3, 245-pound senior estimates he is “10... Читать дальше...

The three young Americans who thwarted a gunman on a Paris-bound passenger train last month got their moment in the Oval Office on Thursday — and they dressed for it. The three last month subdued a man with ties to radical Islam who boarded the train with a Kalashnikov rifle, a pistol and a box cutter. Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James presented Stone with the Purple Heart in recognition of the injuries he suffered, and he also received the Airman's Medal. Carter said their rallying cry recalled... Читать дальше...

From an 0-10 record in his first season to 6-3-1 in his third, Andrew Cotter was able to lift his Moreau Catholic-Hayward football program from struggling to competitive. The momentum slowed considerably in the past three seasons as the Mariners went a middling 16-18. But after outscoring its three opponents this year 139-23, the team is ranked No. 22 in The Chronicle’s Top 25, and the eight-year head coach has Moreau, a one-time Bay Area power under Al Vermeil, back in the Bay Area fast lane.

Posey and Bumgarner are the Giants’ franchise players, the marquee men who do the most on the field and get the most pub off it. [...] Pence has been a virtual no-show, limited to 52 games and serving three terms on the disabled list. The more he showed he could hit for power, hit in the clutch, hit to all fields against both righties and lefties, the more he moved up the lineup, from eighth to as high as fifth, even cleanup for a game. Crawford is expected to return to the lineup Friday when... Читать дальше...

CHICAGO — Billy Butler’s ninth-inning drive cleared the right-field wall and Avisail Garcia’s glove — barely. Butler’s three-run homer off David Robertson lifted the A’s over the Chicago White Sox 4-2 Thursday. Garcia jumped at the wall and appeared to snag Butler’s drive, but the ball fell out of his glove and into Oakland’s bullpen as Garcia hit the fence. In Monday’s series opener, Robertson wasted a 7-3 lead — two of the four runs were unearned — before Chicago won 8-7 in 14 innings. Rookie... Читать дальше...

The residents would have turned out to see the Middletown Mustangs take on El Molino High. “The high school is really the heart of our community,” said Kelli Chorjel, president of the Middletown boosters.

More than 70,000 acres were burned, a third of the town is gone, and at least 585 homes were destroyed in the fire that ravaged the communities of Middletown, Cobb and Hidden Valley Lake.
