WASHINGTON (AP) — Elated congressional Republicans pledged swift action Wednesday on President-elect Donald Trump's agenda as they heralded an extraordinary new era of unified GOP control in Washington. First up would be repealing President Barack Obama's health care law, something Republicans have already shown they can get through Congress with just a narrow Senate majority. [...] Republicans pledged to try to unwind any number of executive moves by Obama, including tougher clean air rules on power plants... Читать дальше...

Asus offends, Netflix perplexes, Pharma Bro drops a record In a move designed to offend cat lovers, lesbian computer shoppers, and people who expect their laptops to have decent battery life, Asus asked its male Twitter followers whether they’d prefer to date a “cute girl” holding a cat or one with a ZenBook. The computer company deleted both tweets after drawing widespread criticism for “sexist language”: “I’m a hunk with a cat and I take offense,” wrote @mgthabo. Wednesday edition with a four-page...

GoPro Inc. shares tumbled more than 4 percent after the company said it’s recalling about 2,500 of its new Karma drones, dealing another blow to already dim prospects for the holiday season. [...] last week, the company lowered its forecast for full-year sales and missed estimates for revenue in the third quarter, suggesting the device, and the latest iteration of its cube-shaped camera, won’t be the hits it was expecting. GoPro said it’s working with the Consumer Product Safety Commission and... Читать дальше...

Maggie Passmore of St. Paul, Minnesota, had been watching election returns at a party but reverted to watching at home "when things got scary." Hours later, she found herself writing an email to her kids saying how terrified she was for the country's future: for the Supreme Court, for health care, for international relations. [...] the victorious candidate was one who had denigrated women, mocked a beauty pageant contestant for her weight, described grabbing women by the genitals with impunity... Читать дальше...

The entertainment industry ponied up a large chunk of the estimated billion dollars Clinton spent on her campaign, while giving her its buzzy stamp of approval in the form of endless celebrity endorsements — a list that included such heavy-hitters as Leonardo DiCaprio, Beyonce, George Clooney, Steven Spielberg, Jeffery Katzenberg and Harvey Weinstein. While her Tuesday defeat to Donald Trump, a real-estate developer-turned reality TV star with no political experience, is still reverberating around the globe... Читать дальше...

Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and Other Superheroes React in Horror to Trump Victory (Video) Did you watch in disbelief as GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump prevailed over his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the presidential election Tuesday night? In the video, no fewer than three different big-screen Batmen (in the forms of Michael Keaton, Christian Bale and Ben Affleck) and two Supermen (Henry Cavill and Christopher Reeve) look on with concern as Trump is declared president-elect. Captain... Читать дальше...

Henderson Getty images)Spinning out of the bye week, the 49ers resumed their season without major changes or even minor tweaks, despite their 1-6 record. It was just more of the same against New Orleans on Sunday at Levi’s – an inability to stop the run and an eventual 18-point loss. The 49ers dropped to 1-7 and their slide simply continued. Consequently, here are some changes the team could make to possibly improve their prospects for the second half of the season. Читать дальше...

Voters chose a 48-year-old, urbane, liberal black man, then a 70-year-old, unrepentantly coarse white man who is conservative, or something. Change comes in all forms and with wrenching lurches in a nation founded by bloody revolt and enervated through the generations by political and cultural revolution, sometimes to the edge of bloodshed or over. The U.S. serves up in-your-face cowboy culture, in-your-face counterculture, aggressively faith-based political movements, electric Bernie Sanders socialism... Читать дальше...

Ryan also angered some of his GOP colleagues last month when he said he would neither defend nor work for Trump in the campaign after his crude comments about groping women. Trump had harsh words for Ryan as well, though the two spoke on election night and have a mutual interest in burying the hatchet. Ryan, who was elected to his 10th term, sometimes appears to have a tenuous grip on the fractious House GOP conference and, like his predecessor John Boehner, sometimes has to turn to Democrats to win passage of must-do legislation.

It begins at 7:15 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 10, with Neeraj Ghaywan’s Cannes prize-winner “Masaan” (“Fly Away Solo”) at the Castro Theatre and ends Sunday, Nov. 13, with a short film program that includes Bay Area filmmakers at New People Cinema in Japantown.

To celebrate a year in the Mission District, programmers will devote... Читать дальше...

‘Love Witch’ a gorgeously bad (on purpose) movie “The Love Witch,” her new comedy-horror movie, is completely her vision. [...] “The Love Witch,” shot on 35mm, reflects her love of old Technicolor Hollywood films and schlocky international occult horror movies from the 1960s and ’70s. Shot in Northern California (in Eureka, Arcata and other places in Humboldt County), it’s about a woman who becomes a witch in order to explore her feminism and sexuality, and becomes involved in a sex cult and, ultimately, murder.

The Lovings were simple people who never expected to do anything flashy enough to be dramatized on a movie screen. [...] their case eventually made it all the way to the Supreme Court and to an important 1967 decision that prohibited states from denying the right of interracial couples to marry. In recounting the history, writer-director Jeff Nichols takes an approach that makes “Loving” a little more interesting than you might expect, but also slightly less satisfying. At the start of the film... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Researchers have uncovered a surprising possible trigger for some preterm births: calcium buildup in the womb, similar to the kind that stiffens older people's arteries or causes kidney stones. Ohio researchers studying more than 100 pregnant women found that when a mom-to-be's water breaks too early, the culprit seems to be abnormal calcium deposits that make the normally elastic amniotic sac prone to rupture. "To have a new potential mechanism for one significant form of preterm birth is quite exciting," said Dr. Читать дальше...

DETROIT — Shifting demand from cars to trucks and SUVS is forcing General Motors to lay off more than 2,000 workers indefinitely at two assembly plants in Ohio and Michigan starting in January. Another 840 will be idled at the Lansing Grand River factory, which makes the Chevrolet Camaro muscle car and the Cadillac ATS and CTS luxury cars, when their shifts end Jan. 16. Last month, 61.6 percent of U.S. new vehicle sales were trucks and SUVs, according to Autodata Corp. That’s a record that is likely to be broken said Jeff Schuster... Читать дальше...
