PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Philadelphia special education teacher who pleaded guilty to having sex with a student says she blames her actions on her heroin use. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports (http://bit.ly/2p4bLpA ) Stephanie Amato was sentenced Tuesday to county prison for having sex with a 14-year-old student.

In addition to jail time, Amato will also have to register as a sex offender.

When condo developer and Francophile Abigail Ahrens decided to create a boutique hotel in downtown Los Altos, she opted for a style more romantic than Silicon Valley chic. Most of the 19 rooms, each with its own theme (Marie Antoinette, Marie Curie, cycling, dogs, etc.) have gas fireplaces, and larger rooms include pedestal tubs as well as showers. Complimentary, cooked-to-order breakfast is served in Campagne One Main, the hotel’s intimate, indoor-outdoor bistro, dotted with Napoleonic antiques (and after breakfast... Читать дальше...

When Allison and Dan Rose moved into their historic Palo Alto home, their art was essentially limited to Pottery Barn and Z Gallerie buys. Four years later, the walls of their 1905 Craftsman are decorated with contemporary works from the likes of John Chiara, Gabriel Orozco, Ed Ruscha, Richard Serra and Hiroshi Sugimoto. “We started buying a few pieces, learning a little bit more and discovering some more artists,” Allison Rose says. The Roses are just the sort of Silicon Valley denizens that... Читать дальше...

Mom’s past relationship is subject of sons’ curiosity When I was a young, newly divorced, single mother, I returned to college. Over time, the friendship became more than platonic. During the course of the conversation, they asked me if their mother and I had had an intimate relationship. [...] I faked losing the phone connection to keep from answering. The next time they call, if that question is asked again, handle it with a laugh and say they should take their questions about their mother’s sex life directly to her. Читать дальше...

SANDWICH, Mass. (AP) — Three Massachusetts elementary school students and two teenagers are recovering from injuries suffered when a pickup truck crashed head-on into a school bus. All five were taken to a hospital for treatment after the crash in Sandwich on Tuesday. The injured elementary schoolers were among more than 20 students on the bus, which had just left nearby Forestdale School. Their injuries were described as minor. The truck was being driven by the older teen, who is 17. He and his... Читать дальше...

Moore allowed a career-high nine earned runs in 3 1/3 innings, the most by a Giants starter in four years. [...] he also has pitched two of his worst career games against L.A., both at Chavez Ravine. Tuesday's loss provided a stark reminder that while a tepid offense has had a leading role in the Giants' 10-18 start, they have not pitched that great either. Even if they do, they will have gone 28 games with just one set of back-to-back victories, an almost incomprehensible fail for a team with playoffs aspirations. Читать дальше...

(AP) — In the northwest corner of Georgia, where cows and crops vastly outnumber people, a small cluster of privately owned treatment centers have sprung up in recent years for heroin and prescription painkiller addicts. Relaxed rules in Georgia and stricter regulations in Tennessee created a recipe for the facilities to locate a few miles from the state line. Locals are fed up with the onslaught of out-of-towners who pick up their meds and leave, and they complained so loudly that Georgia legislators... Читать дальше...

More than unprecedented range, what makes Stephen Curry a generational player is his penchant for making elite players look silly with a dribble. The latest example came late in the second quarter of the Warriors’ 106-94 win Tuesdsay night over Utah in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals. After threading the ball between his legs, Curry stepped to his left and, on a crossover, sent center Rudy Gobert into a spin. By the time the Defensive Player of the Year candidate regained his footing... Читать дальше...

In a dizzying stretch to start Tuesday night’s second quarter, Warriors forward Draymond Green jammed the breadth of his skills into a quick highlight reel. Green blocked Derrick Favors’ shot, corralled two rebounds, uncorked a length-of-the-court pass to David West for an easy layup, made a three-point shot and sank a two-pointer. Green left his fingerprints all over Golden State’s 106-94 victory in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals. Green not only was involved in most key offensive plays during the stretch...

Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, Jason Richardson, Monta Ellis and Kelenna Azubuike were among those on hand, representing Don Nelson’s merry band of misfits who ended Golden State’s 12-year playoff drought and became the first 8-seed to knock off a No. 1 seed in a best-of-seven series. [...] after their latest debacle, we waited for Nellie to come out of the visitors’ locker room. Master manipulator, brutally honest at times, and an outright liar during others.

(AP) — Ramsey Green of Billings worked a landscaping job to earn a living while he attended physical therapy classes in Salt Lake City. Green, now an NWC sophomore, said he likes fabrication and production classes the most because they let him use his creativity. Green said he plans to get a job in Tucson when he finishes school, and eventually, he wants to set up his own welding business. Despite layoffs in the oil field, welders are still in high demand, and enrollment in the Northwest College welding program is increasing... Читать дальше...

Isaiah Thomas spent four or five hours in the dentist’s chair having work done on the tooth that was knocked out in Game 1, a day after he was in oral surgery for six hours having it repositioned in his mouth. “The least I can do is go out there and play for her,” Thomas said after scoring 53 points — the second-highest total in Celtics playoff history — to lead Boston to a 129-119 overtime victory over the Washington Wizards. “I knew once game-time came, my guys would get me going, get me the energy to go out and win a game,” Thomas said...

CHICAGO (AP) — Two Chicago police officers were shot and wounded late Tuesday when two vehicles pulled up alongside their car and someone started firing indiscriminately in what authorities believe was a targeted attack. The officers were conducting a follow up investigation to a previous incident when two vehicles pulled up and those inside began firing. The officers were wearing civilian clothes at the time but had on vests with police badges on them, Guglielmi said.

[...] after a botched lethal injection in 2014 and drug mix-ups in 2015 that led to one inmate being executed with the wrong drug and another just moments away from being strapped to a gurney before his lethal injection was halted, the state is facing a series of hurdles and long delays before it could resume capital punishment. While other states have put moratoriums in place because of shortages of key drugs or growing opposition to the death penalty, Oklahoma's problems stem from the inability... Читать дальше...

While teaching young people to be the ring masters of their own lives, the kids also work on balancing on large balls and wood planks, stilt walking, trapeze skills, juggling and slapstick clown routines. "Because of the high crime, the high unemployment going on here, hope's hard to find in this city," said program director Tom von Oehsen, who trained as a clown with Ringling Bros. in the 1980s.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Flooded areas of the Midwest are bracing for another round of heavy rain, the last thing they need with rivers in several places at or near record levels. Five people have died in Missouri flooding, and several towns have sustained damage. Along the Meramec River in suburban St. Louis, thousands of sandbags are protecting about 50 homes and several businesses in Eureka, and a levee is bulging at the seams in nearby Valley Park, where many residents have evacuated.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — A Malaysian man whose wife's death is one of at least 16 blamed on air bag defects has sued Japanese automaker Honda and the Takata Corp. in a U.S. court, saying he wants the companies to disclose more about the dangers. Plaintiffs alleged in dozens of lawsuits that Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Ford and BMW had independent knowledge that Takata's air bags were unsafe before putting them in millions of vehicles. The couple did not know their car had a dangerously defective... Читать дальше...

While accepting an award from Planned Parenthood, Hillary Clinton says there's still much to do to advance the rights and opportunities of women and girls. During her speech, Clinton called for expanded access to preventive services at Planned Parenthood, and for increased access and affordability of family planning, including long-acting reversible contraception. Hillary Clinton says she is taking responsibility for her 2016 election loss but believes misogyny, Russian interference and questionable decisions by the FBI also played roles. Читать дальше...

MINNEAPOLIS — The A’s had hoped that getting their most decorated starter and their leadoff man off the disabled list Tuesday would provide something of a boost during a bust of a road trip. [...] Sonny Gray gave up three homers, including a mammoth shot by Miguel Sano into the restaurant above the batter’s eye in center field, the A’s lineup did next to nothing even with the addition of Rajai Davis, and the Twins thumped Oakland 9-1, hitting six home runs in all. Santana worked six scoreless innings... Читать дальше...
