Hot-hitting Chad Pinder out of A’s lineup; upcoming pitching plans Chad Pinder has homered four times in the past eight games, and yet the rookie’s location to start Tuesday night’s game against Miami will be on the bench. Pinder, a right-handed hitting utility player, got more playing time than usual in the Boston series because the A’s faced three left-handed starters, but Yonder Alonso (who missed four games with a slight knee sprain) and Stephen Vogt (who sat against the lefty starters) are both back in the lineup Tuesday.

Council members Donna Aderhold, David Lewis and Catriona Reynolds, through their attorneys, argued that their actions were protected by their constitutional rights to free speech and that the grounds for recall are insufficient. "[...] that anytime a recall petition is based in part or in whole on what a politician said is protected by the First Amendment would be to eviscerate the recall statute to such an extent that the populace would almost never be able to seek recall of any of their elected officials," Marston wrote.

(AP) — By the narrowest of votes, House lawmakers agreed Tuesday to toughen criteria for future high school students to get college tuition paid through Louisiana's TOPS program. The measure by Rep. Franklin Foil, a Baton Rouge Republican, would bump the grade point average from 2.5 to 2.75 for a student to get the basic TOPS award to attend a four-year university. Supporters said it would cut the costs of a program with a ballooning price tag that is nearing $300 million a year, while also encouraging... Читать дальше...

The months-long closure between Gorda and Ragged Point, on top of another... Читать дальше...

The ride-hailing company said each affected driver would get a refund of about $900, which includes interest. The company will now calculate its commission based on the net fare, which is in line with its updated national driver policy enacted in November 2014. "Uber is using the difference in the commission it wrongly took from drivers, rather than reimburse the drivers the full tax and surcharge amounts they are owned back — a difference of nearly 10 percent," Bhairavi Desai, executive director of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance.

Yet few people in this conservative bastion ringed by prairies, meandering rivers and snow-frosted peaks are publicly complaining about Trump's push to repeal the Affordable Care Act — an issue that is front and center in a special election Thursday to fill Montana's only U.S. House seat.

Martinez in April rejected a list of tax and fee increases that the Democratic-led Legislature... Читать дальше...

JR Hildebrand aims for Indy 500 redemption In 2011, JR Hildebrand, then a 23-year-old rookie on the IndyCar circuit, headed into the final lap of the Indianapolis 500 with a four-second lead.

Hildebrand chose the latter and lost control of his vehicle as a result. Though it still reverberates for him six years later, the Sausalito native will... Читать дальше...
