Apple, backed by the vast majority of the tech industry... Читать дальше...

In Susan-Jane Harrison’s new play, “Hunting Love,” the goddess Love (Harrison, who performs as well as writes) wants to kill herself, while Narciso (Nican Robinson), a mortal, needs to fall in love with someone in order to break his curse: In one scene, when Love asks Narciso to put his hands around her neck and squeeze tightly, it looks, briefly, as if both characters’ wishes will come true simultaneously.

MIAMI (AP) — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump took a shot Wednesday at Hillary Clinton's running mate, Democratic U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, for doing a terrible job as governor of New Jersey. Kean led the state from 1982 to 1990 while Trump was building his casino empire in Atlantic City. New Jersey also might have been on Trump's mind because its current governor, Republican Chris Christie, was among Trump's finalists for the vice presidential nod that ultimately went to Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.

Crab fishing is sustainable only if the ocean waters that the crabs swim in aren't poisonous—and for five months of the 2015–16 crabbing season, they were. A vast toxic algae bloom, one of the largest ever recorded, produced enough domoic acid to effectively kill most of the season, and although the crab fishery finally did open, an ominous shadow had fallen over the entire coast. And not just for people who rely on crabbing for their livelihood: The great crab shutdown of 2016 was one of those... Читать дальше...

John Philip Sousa is remembered today almost exclusively for his marches, including “The Stars and Stripes Forever” and “The Liberty Bell” (y’know, the “Monty Python” one). [...] his musical legacy also includes orchestral works and, most notably, nearly a dozen operettas that turned his trademark martial vein to theatrical purposes. The most popular of these was “El Capitan,” a comedy set in 16th century Peru, that had a successful four-year run beginning in 1896 but hasn’t been performed in California in nearly a century.

Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone denied a request last week from the officers to remove the banner, saying his "unwavering support" for police doesn't pre-empt a commitment to "addressing systemic racism in our nation."

(AP) — A judge on Wednesday dismissed a manslaughter charge against a Florida deputy who claimed self-defense in the 2014 fatal shooting of a 33-year-old black man carrying what turned out to be an air rifle.
