JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — A Navy SEAL who fell to his death when his parachute failed to open during a Fleet Week demonstration over the Hudson River has been identified as a 27-year-old Colorado man. The accident that killed Remington J. Peters occurred Sunday at Liberty State Park, a large New Jersey park across from Manhattan where people catch ferries to see the Statue of Liberty. Peters, whose identity was revealed late Monday, was a member of an elite Navy parachute team called the Leap Frogs.

Don't drive too fast through flooded streets or you'll create wakes that slam into houses, scatter garbage cans, and damage lawns and gardens. Studies are underway, money is starting to flow toward the problem, and the realization that destruction of wetlands for development along such shores is partly to blame is leading to discussion about building codes. [...] it also wreaked havoc along the back bays, where miles of lagoons exposed thousands of waterfront homes to flooding damage. Both towns... Читать дальше...

Penguins’ no-name defense faces Predators’ unheralded centers Without top defenseman Kris Letang, the Penguins have to rely on their blue-line depth to help their forwards. Crosby, Malkin and wings such as Phil Kessel drive the Penguins’ offense just as left wing Filip Forsberg and the defensemen do for the Predators. [...] Nashville makes everything happen from its blue line, even after trading Shea Weber and Seth Jones within the past 16 months. “It’s remarkable we were able to trade (Weber... Читать дальше...

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland plans to demolish 500 abandoned homes near grade schools this year to make those areas safer and clear properties that might attract crime.

Giants fall to Nationals; Hunter Strickland, Bryce Harper brawl After Strickland hit Harper with a first-pitch fastball in the eighth inning of the Giants’ 3-0 loss to the Nationals on Monday, setting off a ferocious fight between the two, Strickland said, Obviously, I’ve left the ball over the plate a couple of times on him and he’s taken advantage of that. With a fastball into Harper’s hip, Strickland seemed to be settling a score from the 2014 Division Series. Harper hit a Game 1 homer off Strickland... Читать дальше...

MIAMI (AP) — Javier Fungairino was eating breakfast with his son at a bakery one recent morning when he noticed a familiar face at a nearby table: a former minister of Venezuela's socialist government whose presence reminded him of the pain he suffered when he left his homeland for Miami three years ago. Immediately, an angry mob of scolding Venezuelan exiles surrounded the former head of state-run Banco de Venezuela, shouting "Rat!" and "Get out, thief!" until Vasquez and another man with him fled.

It’s often said that there’s no such thing as an anti-war movie, since combat is so cinematically exciting, but director Patty Jenkins (“Monster”) gets closer to that goal than most: when we see war here, we see destroyed men who have lost limbs, devastated countryside, and yowling orphans who will never be reunited with their parents. Diana’s scenes of action are thrilling precisely because they’re meant to stop war, not to foment it; the idea of a demi-god using love to fight war might sound goofy in the abstract...

Celebs Pay Tribute to Service Members on Memorial Day [...] in its one hundred and forty-ninth year (established formally as a national holiday in 1868), Memorial day honors those who have died in military service to the United States. Based on several traditions, including those of Freed slaves immediately after the American Civil War, it has become the official start of Summer season in the U.S., but it remains a solemn occasion, especially for those who have lost loved ones in military service.

On Monday at Cleveland, Mengden made his first start of the season for Oakland and had a tough time of it, allowing seven hits, a walk and five runs in the A’s 5-3 loss to the Indians. Mengden’s outing was just his fifth of the season overall; he missed all of spring training after right foot surgery and didn’t go on a rehab assignment until May 8. Even in his roughest starts for Oakland last year — his 6.50 ERA was second highest in the majors among pitchers with at least 70 innings — Mengden didn’t allow more than one homer. Читать дальше...

The University of California will no longer pay for its governing board members to throw themselves dinners and parties after a Chronicle report showed that the regents regularly billed the university for their festivities. The change in policy came hours after The Chronicle reported that the UC governing board billed the university for nearly a quarter of a million dollars since 2012 for dinners every two to three months. The $270-a-head Jan. 25 banquet was held the night before the regents voted to raise student tuition. Читать дальше...

A Mississippi deputy killed in a shooting rampage had worked in Christian ministry before going into law enforcement, and enjoyed doing puppet shows to deliver uplifting messages to children. William Durr, 36, was responding to a domestic-violence call late Saturday when he was fatally shot in Brookhaven, a south Mississippi city surrounded by pine trees and rolling green pastures. Investigators said Willie Corey Godbolt, 35, will be charged with one count of capital murder and seven counts of first degree murder. Читать дальше...

Eduardo Nuñez sits out after inadvertent shot to head Even when the Giants score a run, they cannot win. Eduardo Nuñez, the team’s hottest hitter, sat Monday and was being evaluated for a concussion after he was hit in the helmet by a ball and inadvertently smacked in the head by Atlanta pitcher R.A. Dickey while scoring the first run in Sunday’s 7-1 Giants victory. Nuñez has blurred vision that he said had improved since Sunday but was not resolved. Suzuki retrieved the ball and threw to Dickey covering the plate. Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON — Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, was looking for a direct line to President Vladimir Putin of Russia — a search that in mid-December found him in a room with a Russian banker whose financial institution was deeply intertwined with Russian intelligence, and remains under sanction by the United States. The meeting came as Trump was openly feuding with U.S. intelligence agencies and their conclusion that Russia had tried to disrupt the presidential election and turn it in his favor.

Sofia Coppola may have won the Best Director Prize at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday, but jury member Jessica Chastain had some honest feedback about how women were depicted in the other films in competition. “This is the first time I’ve watched 20 films in 10 days and I love movies, and the one thing I really took away from this experience is how the world views women from the female characters that were represented,” said Chastain, as jury president Pedro Almodovar nodded. The issue of representing... Читать дальше...

Tiger Woods attributed an “unexpected reaction” to prescription medicine for his arrest Monday in Jupiter, Fla., on a DUI charge. Woods, the 14-time major champion who had back surgery five weeks ago, was arrested on suspicion of DUI at about 3 a.m. He was released on his own recognizance. Woods, whose 79 victories rank No. 2 on the PGA Tour’s career list, has not competed for nearly four months. “Nothing specifically personal, but I am very uncomfortable with a Japanese driver winning the Indianapolis...

The Angels’ center fielder has a torn ligament in his left thumb, suffered while sliding into second base Sunday, and might need surgery that could sideline him for eight weeks. The reigning AL MVP — who is hitting .337 with 16 home runs and 36 RBIs — was placed on the disabled list Monday after team doctor Steve Yoon detected the injury during an MRI exam. The White Sox saluted Sale with a highlight video during the first inning of their game against the Red Sox, and he waved his hat to the cheering crowd... Читать дальше...

49ers’ defense counting on disappointing Aaron Lynch to rush passer Because 2-14 teams can’t address all their problem areas in one offseason, the 49ers might rely on a player with a track record of unreliability to play a vital spot in 2017. The position: the so-called “Leo” end in their 4-3 defense, which is reserved for the team’s most ferocious pass rusher. In 2016, Lynch said he weighed around 300 pounds in training camp before he served a season-opening, four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s drug policy. Читать дальше...

Sure, you remember Frank and Claire Underwood, and their trusted advisor Doug Stamper — and probably Will Conway, their Republican challenger in the presidential election. The former Democratic president, Walker made the major error of not giving Frank the Secretary of State position he’d been promised. For a while, Remy was Frank’s chief of staff, but eventually Remy flips on Frank, confirming details to journalist Tom Hammerschmidt about Frank’s involvement in impeaching former President Garrett...

Ryder finally got the better of Alert Bay by prevailing in a four-horse blanket finish in the Grade 3, $100,900 All American Stakes on Monday at Golden Gate Fields after finishing behind him in eight previous meetings.

WASHINGTON — Federal authorities have launched dozens of new criminal investigations into possible opioid and other drug theft by employees at Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals, a sign the problem isn’t going away despite new prevention efforts. Doctors, nurses or pharmacy staff in the VA’s network of more than 160 medical centers and 1,000 clinics are suspected of siphoning away controlled substances for their own use or street sale — sometimes to the harm of patients — or drugs simply went missing without explanation.

“American Gods” author Neil Gaiman will give a live reading of the complete Cheesecake Factory menu — if fans raise $500,000 for the United Nations Refugee Agency. Benincasa later told Eater she was inspired to make the request after watching an episode of Starz’ ongoing adaptation of “American Gods,” followed by a trip to the chain restaurant. The exact setting for the reading hasn’t been established yet, though Gaiman has teased that he’ll create an audiobook version of the performance if online... Читать дальше...
