She sees no disconnect there, contrary to stereotypes of uncaring, young and well-off techies. [...] she has put proof to that lack of disconnect by founding — and taking to wild success — one of the more compassionate technological enterprises to emerge in recent years to help the penniless. Three years ago, 34-year-old Broome invented a crowdfunding program to raise money tailored to individual homeless people. “I don’t have all the answers; I have a lot of questions,” said Broome, whose innocent-seeming sincerity belies the steely...

[...] their goals this year include recapturing a two-thirds majority in both houses of the state Legislature — allowing them to approve taxes — which party Chairman John Burton acknowledged is "really kind of tough." Irene Huerta, 51, of Wilmington, is firmly in Sanchez's camp, however. "Because I think she has experience, and I like her personally," Huerta said. Either woman must get 60 percent of the vote to win, otherwise the party will have no endorsed candidate in the race, which also includes... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) — Yoko Ono has been hospitalized in New York City for flu-like symptoms, but her representative says the artist-singer is on the mend and should be released this weekend. Ono, who turned 83 last week, arrived at the hospital and medical staff decided to admit her, Mintz said. A Fire Department spokesman said an ambulance was called to Ono's apartment building at 72nd Street and Central Park West in Manhattan around 9 p.m. Friday.

About 30 tents remained in place at the 5 p.m. Friday deadline city officials gave the homeless living there to clear out, Sam Dodge, the mayor's point person on homelessness said. City officials on Tuesday evening gave the residents of the tent city 72 hours to move after declaring the area along a busy San Francisco street a health hazard. The health department posted notices Tuesday evening, calling the encampments a public nuisance and ordering people to leave within 72 hours.

The looming threat that San Francisco officials would forcibly remove a sprawling homeless encampment along Division Street had by Friday induced dozens of down-on-their-luck campers to clear out, but about 100 veterans of the tent city south of downtown were holding fort as night fell. [...] the city’s plan centered on approaching people with kindness — and housing options — in the hope they would voluntarily move away. “The order continues, and we’re going to keep working there like we have for years with the homeless outreach team...

(AP) — A classmate who provided the handgun used in the recent murder-suicide of two 15-year-old girls at an Arizona high school could be facing a felony charge, police said Friday. Copies of the heavily redacted, handwritten suicide note were released Friday as part of an 87-page police report on the Feb. 12 deaths at Glendale's Independence High School. Police said the teen removed a handgun from his home without the permission or knowledge of his parents.

For the A’s, that means back-to-back springs with owner Lew Wolff coming out to “Louie, Louie” during the morning meeting, and “Saturday Night Live” character Matt Foley, as played by Stephen Vogt, addressing the troops. For manager Bob Melvin, though, the best part of the day is seeing everyone assembled on the field for the first time. “That was a lot of fun,” Manaea said, adding with a grin, It’s been a while since I faced hitters. Melvin also had nice words for closer Sean Doolittle, saying... Читать дальше...

ZURICH — Gianni Infantino is the new president of soccer’s corruption-scarred world governing body, winning election in a surprise Friday after promising national leaders of soccer that he will share the wealth from FIFA’s $5 billion World Cup revenues. Infantino was chosen on the second ballot to fill the unexpired term of longtime FIFA leader Sepp Blatter, who was forced out by the pressure of U.S. and Swiss investigations of bribery and corruption that emerged two days before the previous vote in May 2015.

A gunman who killed four people in rural Washington state called an officer he previously encountered to say he shot his family, leading to an hours-long standoff at a home Friday that ended with his suicide, police said. A 12-year-old girl related to the victims survived and was taken to a hospital for an evaluation, Mason County sheriff’s Chief Deputy Ryan Spurling said. The officer who took the shooter’s call went to the home across Puget Sound from Seattle with another deputy. Authorities... Читать дальше...

A man who stormed into a Kansas factory and shot 14 people, killing three, had just been served with a protective order involving a former girlfriend that probably set off the attack, authorities said Friday. The assault at the Excel Industries lawnmower-parts plant in the small town of Hesston ended when the police chief killed the gunman in a shootout. The suspect shot one person in the factory parking lot before opening fire inside the building, the sheriff’s department said. According to the Wichita Eagle... Читать дальше...

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Friday endorsed GOP front-runner Donald Trump, delivering a surprise and powerful boost to the billionaire businessman, whom he called the best Republican candidate to lead the country and beat Democrat Hillary Clinton. The endorsement, the first for Trump from a sitting governor and a former rival, comes at a particularly opportune time for the real estate mogul, who on Thursday night faced a barrage of new attacks from rival Marco Rubio...

Golden State Warriors: OKLAHOMA CITY — When Stephen Curry bunnied home a layup to give him 51 points and the Warriors a 15-point lead late in the game at Orlando on Thursday night, the fans poured out of their seats. The Warriors’ roadie ends Saturday in Oklahoma City, where they’ve lost 11 of their past 12 games and one of the few places on the NBA map where the league’s darlings haven’t added many fans to their bandwagon. For us, the last game of the road trip will be a big test for us to see... Читать дальше...

Rickie Fowler kept bogeys off his card for the second straight round Friday for a 4-under 66 and the lead at the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. . In some respects, it was identical to Fowler’s opening round — no bogeys, another 66 in windy conditions and a big par save on his 10th hole. Having started on the back nine, Fowler worked himself out of his toughest spot well right of the fairway and managed to get up-and-down for par to keep some momentum. Rory McIlroy, meanwhile...

Jack Conklin beats long odds to become a top NFL prospect Four years ago, Conklin had only one scholarship offer and was ready to attend prep school. [...] the left tackle from Michigan State, who started his college career as an invited walk-on, is one of the most coveted offensive linemen in the nation. “It’s crazy just to see how far I’ve come,” Conklin said at the NFL combine. Wentz was lightly recruited after moving from receiver to quarterback as a high school senior. The only scholarship offers fielded by Connor Cook... Читать дальше...

PALESTINE, Texas (AP) — One man is in police custody and another is hospitalized with a gunshot wound after a shooting in an East Texas high school parking lot outside a gym where a basketball playoff game was to be played.

Niners right tackle Anthony Davis, who has repeatedly said on social media he’ll return in 2016 after sitting out last year, will apply for reinstatement to play in the NFL this season, ESPN reported. Davis, 26, abruptly left the team in June, citing a need to let his “brain and body heal” after he was limited to seven games in an injury-plagued 2014 season in which he suffered a concussion. Erik Pears, 33, assumed his spot, but wasn’t an adequate fill-in and was a reason the 49ers surrendered the second-most sacks (53) in the NFL. Читать дальше...

INDIANAPOLIS — Cardinals head coach and noted quarterback guru Bruce Arians believes the NFL’s glamor position is difficult to evaluate because the most important traits are impossible to measure. After spending his four-year, 46-start career in Stanford’s pro-style offense, Hogan is viewed as one of the Rhodes Scholars of this year’s quarterback draft class. Unlike other prospects from shotgun-only spread attacks that populate the college ranks, Hogan has been operating under center in a system... Читать дальше...

The celebrity businessman turned Republican presidential front-runner said he wants to "open up" libel laws at a rally in Fort Worth, Texas. First Amendment advocates condemned Trump's suggestions. To win such a case, the plaintiff must demonstrate that factually incorrect statements were made with actual malice or a reckless disregard for the truth. Because the Supreme Court has repeatedly endorsed this legal standard, Trump could not change libel laws as they affect public figures by executive order or even with an act of Congress...

Speaking of Facebook, CEO Mark Zuckerberg conceded Friday that the company didn’t do enough until recently to police hate speech on its site in Germany. “There are specific issues affecting the black community in the United States, coming from a history of oppression and racism,” Zuckerberg wrote. Twitter had fun after ex-NBA players Oscar Robertson, Stephen Jackson and others said, basically, that the potentially record-setting Warriors aren’t all that good. The Daily Briefing is compiled from... Читать дальше...

From a preschool toy designed to teach precoding skills to a hands-on molecule-building set for older kids that works with an app, technology abounded at this year’s Toy Fair. The annual showcase of new toys held recently in New York included a slew of tech products from the titans of the toy industry and tiny startups, all looking to attract increasingly tech-savvy kids. While the toy doesn’t teach an actual coding language, it does try to impart some of the critical thinking and problem solving skills that coding does. Читать дальше...
