ABC’s “Bachelor in Paradise” is back for its delayed fourth season, and the returning cast members are offering their thoughts on the scandal that led production to temporarily shutdown. On Tuesday’s second part of the Season 4 premiere, host Chris Harrison addressed the cast during a somber meeting after Warner Bros. briefly putting a halt to filming in June.

Hundreds of early-morning BART riders will have to begin their commutes an hour later on weekdays — or resort to buses or their cars — as the transit agency struggles to keep up its aging infrastructure while undergoing a massive modernization. BART officials were already working on plans to push back its systemwide opening hour from 4 a.m. to 5 a.m. starting in fall 2018 to accommodate the seismic retrofitting of the Transbay Tube. A systemwide late start would almost certainly make those predawn... Читать дальше...

(AP) — At the New Hampshire State Library's latest art exhibit, the bright smiles and bold colors of the canvases belied the broken hearts of those who attended its opening reception.

Tiger Woods had the active ingredient for marijuana, two painkillers and two sleep drugs in his system when he was arrested on a DUI charge this year, a report released Tuesday by prosecutors said. Police in Jupiter, Fla., released the report less than a week after the winner of 14 majors agreed to enter a diversion program to settle his driving while intoxicated charges. The report, prepared by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, says Woods, 41, had THC, the active ingredient for marijuana;... Читать дальше...

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A Texas "bathroom bill" targeting transgender people died again late Tuesday along with many of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's summer demands as an already bruising legislative session was derailed by Republican backbiting that could preview an even nastier 2018 primary season. Corporate heavyweights from Amazon to Exxon Mobil lined up against the measure, as did some top law enforcement agencies, and opponents celebrated the latest failure despite the support from the governor...

“I always wanted to,” Craig told the CBS late-night host. “But I thought if I was going to speak the truth, I should speak the truth to you,” he added, which sparked cheers from the audience. The as-yet-untitled 25th Bond movie will mark Craig’s fifth time as the martini-drinking British Secret Service agent, but it will also be his last.

After watching defensive linemen Billy Winn (ACL), Derek Wolfe (ankle) and Jared Crick (back) get carted off the field over a five-day span, Denver kept a summer-high eight players out of Tuesday’s practice because of injuries.

Oakland added another contestant to the “Who can pitch the seventh and eighth innings?” competition Tuesday. The A’s acquired reliever Chris Hatcher from the Dodgers in exchange for $500,000 in international-bonus-slot money, which will allow Los Angeles to spend more for international free agents. Oakland already is working under spending restrictions after surpassing its limit last year, and the team sent $1.5 million in international-bonus-slot money to the Yankees last month in the Sonny Gray deal.

Physicist Stephen Hawking and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk have also warned about the dangers of going too far, too quickly, in developing "thinking robots" with programmed intelligence that might keep evolving self-awareness, similar to the humanoids in the HBO series "Westworld ." [...] in July 2015, a 57-year-old technician was killed by a robotic machine in an Ionia, Michigan, plant that makes auto bumpers, trailer hitches and chrome-plated plastics. Comparing fear of robots to 19th-century worries about the impact of steam engines... Читать дальше...

The president told us what he really thinks about the Charlottesville violence: 'You had a lot of bad people in the other group too' Nobody puts Donald Trump in a corner.

"The wheels are off the wagon and hurtling through space," late-night host says of the Trump presidency Jimmy Kimmel addressed one of the craziest days in Trump’s presidency — and that’s saying something — by comparing the madness stemming from the White House to the drama exploding in Westeros. “We had so much fun stuff planned for you tonight, we worked on it all day, we had ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ tonight, I even thought ‘hey, maybe we won’t talk much about Donald Trump tonight,” the late-night host said in his opening monologue Tuesday.

Curtis was endorsed by Utah's Republican governor but faced criticism and suspicion from other party members for having once been a Democratic candidate and party officer. In the November special election to fill the seat, he faces Democratic physician Kathie Allen and third-party candidate Jim Bennett, son of the late GOP Sen. Bob Bennett of Utah.

NEW YORK (AP) — Attorney General Jeff Sessions says cities that refuse to share information with federal immigration authorities show a disrespect for the rule of law that is jeopardizing the "most fundamental duty of government" — ensuring public safety. Miami-Dade County earlier this year reversed its "sanctuary city" policy, saying the county would honor requests to hold people for extra time so they can be arrested by immigration authorities. Both President Donald Trump and Sessions have threatened... Читать дальше...

Healthy Karl Joseph could be a big hit for Raiders The Raiders’ defense is still a work in progress in head coach Jack Del Rio’s third season, but there have been a couple of positive developments to take out of training camp and Saturday’s preseason opener. A big one, figuratively if not literally, is Karl Joseph, and the safety got everyone’s attention with a big hit on Arizona running back David Johnson. For one night, anyway, he looked to be the player he was advertised to be when the Raiders drafted him in the first round last year. Читать дальше...

[...] the Discovery Channel series “Manhunt Unabomber” disrespects achievements of the “Unabom” investigation by creating a predominantly fictionalized story. The eight-part, Tuesday night series on the Unambomber that began August 1, comes up considerably short on the truth when it comes to a minor player on the Unabom Task Force (UTF) — Jim Fitzgerald, an FBI profiler and forensic linguist — who is portrayed in the series as a key investigator who broke the case and was involved in key aspects.

WASHINGTON — President Trump said Tuesday he has signed a new executive order intended to make more efficient the federal permitting process for construction of transportation, water and other infrastructure projects without harming the environment. The Obama order required that such projects built with federal aid take rising sea levels into account. The Obama order was especially unwieldy because it didn’t standardize across the government how sea level rise was to be taken into account, which... Читать дальше...
