Sanders' changed position came in a statement issued after days of attacks from rival Hillary Clinton, who had attempted to use his previous vote to undercut his liberal image. The debate was scheduled to take place just blocks from the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, where nine parishioners were killed in a mass shooting last summer. South Carolina, fourth in line with its primary contest, is seen as a possible firewall for the Clinton campaign because of its strength among minority voters... Читать дальше...

Few Oscar-nominated movies available for streaming Streaming video is supposed to be taking over the world, at least according to Netflix. [...] you’ll find no “Joy” searching online for this year’s top Academy Award-nominated movies.

[...] getting films online is complicated and not that cheap. Читать дальше...

The teams will meet Sunday for the sixth time in four years and for the second straight season in the NFC divisional playoffs. The Seahawks have won four of the previous five matchups, including a 31-17 playoff victory last year in Seattle. Some of that stems from Carolina’s 27-23 win over the two-time defending NFC champions in Week 6 when Cam Newton connected on a 26-yard touchdown pass to tight end Greg Olsen with 32 seconds left. Both have dynamic quarterbacks who can make plays with their... Читать дальше...

Pepperdine outclasses USF on Hilltop USF’s third straight loss was thoroughly deserved Saturday afternoon on the Hilltop. Pepperdine outshot, outplayed and simply outclassed the Dons 98-84. “We didn’t play with a great sense of urgency coming out to start the game,” USF head coach Rex Walters said. The Dons (9-9, 3-5 WCC) committed seven turnovers in that opening stretch. [...] I thought that hurt their feelings a little bit … so I’ve got to adjust and figure out what works for them. Senior...

Voters concerned that Taiwan’s economy is under threat from China and broadly opposed to Beijing’s demands for political unification resoundingly chose Tsai over the Nationalists’ Eric Chu, a late replacement for his party’s original candidate, who was seen as alienating voters. The result should be deeply unsettling to China, which may respond by further reducing Taipei’s already limited ability to win diplomatic allies and participate in international organizations. Tsai said her victory was... Читать дальше...

When the 49ers introduce Chip Kelly as their new head coach this week, they hope that his mojo is at the podium with him. Because the former Oregon Ducks and Philadelphia Eagles coach appears to have lost it the past couple of years. Kelly’s offenses at Oregon and Philadelphia were up-tempo, but there was an underlying cautiousness even as players ran on and off the field, and huge poster-sized flashcards were lifted on the sideline to get the next play in as fast as possible. Which he did after... Читать дальше...

(AP) — Turkeys tested positive for bird flu at nine more Indiana farms near the location where authorities first confirmed a strain different from the one that ravaged the U.S. poultry industry last summer, Indiana authorities said on Saturday. Farmers began euthanizing turkeys at the new farms even before final results of whether the birds were infected with the H7N8 strain, said Denise Derrer, spokeswoman for the Indiana State Board of Animal Health. Confirmation of new bird flu cases alarmed... Читать дальше...

Multiple people with knowledge of the situation say free agent Chris Davis has agreed to a seven-year, $161 million contract with Baltimore, pending a physical.

Tennessee interviewed Mularkey, former Buffalo coach Doug Marrone and Detroit defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, then finished the process by midday Saturday by talking with Titans defensive coordinator Ray Horton.

Controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said Mularkey won the job with his vision for the Titans... Читать дальше...

VIENNA — The U.N. nuclear agency certified Saturday that Iran has met all of its commitments under last summer’s landmark nuclear deal, crowning years of U.S.-led efforts to crimp Iran’s ability to make atomic weapons. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and the top diplomats of Iran and the European Union hailed the accord, reached after years of setbacks and a full decade after the start of international diplomacy aimed at reducing the possibility that Tehran could turn its nuclear programs to weapons making.

BUNGMATI, Nepal — Nepal officially began the much-delayed reconstruction of about 1 million homes and buildings Saturday nearly nine months after they were damaged by a devastating earthquake that killed 9,000 people. Nepal has been criticized for delaying the much-needed reconstruction work because of disagreements among political parties, drafting the country’s new constitution, ethnic protests and severe fuel shortages. Foreign donors have pledged $4.1 billion for earthquake reconstruction,... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, have gone out for a Mexican meal. The White House says the first couple is dining with friends at the Washington restaurant Oyamel Cocina Mexicana. The restaurant is owned by celebrity chef Jose Andres.

Broncos learned lesson from 2015 playoff loss DENVER — The Pittsburgh Steelers stagger into Denver with an ailing Ben Roethlisberger, who won’t have his leading rusher or his top receiver against the league’s best defense Sunday. The Steelers are deep even without All-Pro receiver Antonio Brown (concussion) and running back DeAngelo Williams (foot), and the Broncos insist Big Ben can go deep even with a sprained throwing shoulder. The Broncos believe the coaching staff wasn’t dialed in either... Читать дальше...

[...] Friday, the CDC recommended that pregnant women consider postponing... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON — There was a time when Democrats fretted about Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign becoming a coronation and leaving her without the tests of a primary season to prepare for a general election matchup against the Republican nominee. In the past two weeks, the Democratic race has gone from a relatively civil disagreement over policy to a contentious winter competition between former Secretary of State Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Clinton’s institutional strength and her... Читать дальше...

HALEIWA, Hawaii — Rescuers battled winds up to 23 mph and waves up to 30 feet Saturday as they searched for 12 Marines who remain missing after two helicopters they were in crashed off the Hawaiian island of Oahu. The Marines were alerted when the CH-53E helicopters carrying six crew members each failed to return to their base at Kaneohe Bay following a nighttime training mission.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) — Donald Trump ran afoul of some conservative activists Saturday with an attack on Republican presidential rival Ted Cruz for his failure to disclose certain bank loans during his 2012 Senate bid. In front of the same audience a few hours earlier, Cruz opted not to mention Trump at all, apparently intent on de-escalating their feud as they pursue for the same frustrated, anti-establishment voters who have defined the GOP campaign thus far. Cruz instead urged voters to examine... Читать дальше...
