(AP) — Beneath the giant red sign illuminating the Asian Garden Mall in Southern California, slabs of jumbo, white squid are seared on a smoky grill. [...] this one is much closer to home, in the city of Westminster in Orange County, where vendors sell everything from giant prawns and coconut waffles to home curtains and flashing toy pinwheels. During the past five years, similar night markets have popped up in major cities throughout the United States, a byproduct of both the nation's expanding Asian-American population ...

(AP) — The Al Jazeera America cable news network said Wednesday it will shut down two and a half years after its launch, a victim of a rough business environment and political headwinds it could not conquer. The channel, an offshoot of the Qatar-based Al Jazeera cable network, had trouble persuading cable and satellite companies to carry it, and viewers to watch. Last month, Al Jazeera America was honored with an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University journalism award for a documentary that depicted the lives of working class Americans.

NEW YORK (AP) — Chipotle says it will launch a marketing push in February to begin its road to recovery after a series of food scares, and that it's confident it can win back customers over time. Chipotle Chief Financial Officer Jack Hartung noted the company's recovery would be "messy," with investments in food safety and marketing eating into profit margins. During the half-hour presentation at the ICR conference, Chipotle founder and co-CEO Steve Ells noted customers will still see food preparation in restaurants... Читать дальше...

Yet the limits of this cease-fire were brought home with a speed facilitated by the technology of instant communication: A dispassionate perspective might acknowledge the successes of a president who took over when the nation’s economy was in free fall and a new global Great Depression was a genuine possibility. Obama was not wrong to assert that unemployment has been cut in half on his watch, that the United States “has the strongest, most durable economy in the world,” and that “anyone claiming...

Hue Jackson accepted the Browns’ offer to become their head coach, so who’s next for the 49ers? The 49ers have also met with former Giants coach Tom Coughlin and if Coughlin is hired, he could bring offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo with him and McAdoo could eventually succeed the 69-year-old Coughlin. Former Raiders assistant and current Browns offensive coordinator John DeFilippo could also be paired with Coughlin. The 49ers might be looking at this situation as many fans do in that the head coach... Читать дальше...

DENVER - Draymond Green will finally rest Wednesday night against the Nuggets, about two weeks after the Warriors initially started considering sitting the power forward. Green, who is playing a team-high 34.9 minutes per game, is averaging 15.2 points, 9.7 rebounds and 7.3 assists. “It’s different parts of the ankle, though,” said Green, who was third among Western Conference frontcourt players in the latest All-Star balloting - with updated results expected to be released Thursday.

A 48-year-old Chilean architect with a passion for creating low-cost homes has won his profession’s highest honor, the Pritzker Architecture Prize. Unlike prior winners such as Rem Koolhaas or Lord Norman Foster, both of whom practice at sky-scraping global scale (and whose firms both have towers in the works in San Francisco), nearly all of Aravena’s work has been in Chile. What caught the eye of the Pritzker jury — a disparate eight-member group that includes two former winners and Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer ... Читать дальше...

Jets defenseman Tyler Myers was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct late in the third period Tuesday night, and the Sharks took advantage in a 4-1 victory. Joe Pavelski scored his 22nd goal of the season on that power play, and Chris Tierney had a shorthanded goal and an assist as San Jose earned its third victory in a span of four nights. Myers was called for cross-checking and got the game misconduct when he banged forward Tommy Wingels in the head after Wingels checked him hard... Читать дальше...

Hall of Famer Monte Irvin, a Negro Leagues legend and one of the Giants’ first two African American players, died Monday night of natural causes at his Houston home. Mr. Irvin was a candidate to become baseball’s first African American player before Branch Rickey of the Dodgers signed Jackie Robinson, who debuted in 1947. “Monte helped me so much when I came up,” Willie Mays said of his mentor in a phone interview. Mays last saw Mr. Irvin at the White House in June when President Obama honored the Giants for winning the 2014 World Series. Читать дальше...

After most Warriors games, you can find Draymond Green in the locker room, covered with ice packs from hip to his ankle on one leg and from knee to his foot on the other. The Warriors plan to rest their versatile power forward the next two games (Wednesday at Denver and Thursday at home against the Lakers), leaving open only the slight possibility that the vociferous competitor might persuade them otherwise. “Yeah, I look forward to having that conversation with him,” joked interim head coach Luke Walton after Tuesday’s practice...

Bush isn’t the first to suggest this particular silver bullet — known as “block-granting” — for overhauling the social safety net. In reality, block-granting is just a way federal politicians can strip poor people of much-needed services without actually taking the blame for the resulting suffering. Look, there’s real appeal to letting the “laboratories of democracy” see if they can find more effective ways to deliver anti-poverty services. [...] states and localities already can engage in this kind of experimentation... Читать дальше...
