SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez is asking for time to appeal a ruling overturning vetoes before the bills become law. District Judge Sarah Singleton had overturned the governor's 10 vetoes last month and ruled that Martinez did not follow the proper constitutional procedures when she vetoed the bills, the Albuquerque Journal reported (http://bit.ly/2wM2avE). The decision could mean that Martinez did not veto the bills before the deadline or failed to provide an explanation for the veto. Читать дальше...

BEIRUT — Israeli warplanes struck a military position near the Mediterranean coast in western Syria on Thursday, killing two soldiers, the Syrian army said, in a stronghold of President Bashar Assad that is also heavily protected by the Russians and Iranians. The air strike targeted a facility near the town of Masyaf, in Hama province, described by some as a missile producing factory, amid Israeli outrage over Iran’s growing influence in the war-torn country.

NEW YORK — Few institutions in cinema can match the Toronto International Film Festival as a conversation-starting force. It simply has a lot of movies worth talking about. And this year, many of the films that will parade down Toronto red carpets will hope to shift the dialogue not just in terms of awards buzz, but in other directions, too: equality in Hollywood; politics in Washington; even the nature of the movies, themselves. At TIFF, expect debate. That’s what... Читать дальше...

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Students who graduated from Wyoming high schools earlier this year scored an average of 20.2 on the ACT college entrance test. That is a slight increase from the 20.0 average recorded by the 2016 graduating class. State schools Superintendent Jillian Balow says the ACT is one of the measures that helps educators see how well they are preparing our students. Balow notes that Wyoming is in the top half of states that give the ACT to all of students. Wyoming law requires all students to take the ACT as high school juniors. Читать дальше...

San Jose is planning to make a bid to host Amazon’s second headquarters, which the Seattle company says could employ up to 50,000 people. Amazon announced plans Thursday morning to build a complex of up to 8,000,000 square feet somewhere in North America, and is soliciting proposals from cities and states around the United States and Canada. “On the face of it, some of their requirements are a direct hit with what San Jose has to offer, in terms of technical talent” and major roadways...

There is a lot of sex in “The Deuce,” the highly anticipated HBO series from David Simon and novelist George Pelecanos. But in almost no time, the parade of male and female nudity and the gritty urban kama sutra become as exciting as torn wallpaper in a Times Square SRO. That’s the point, or one of them anyway, in the eight-episode tuneless opera premiering on Sunday, Sept. 10. You could say that the series stars James Franco in dual roles of the twins Frankie and Vincent Martino... Читать дальше...

Shia LaBeouf’s first public appearance since his July arrest, and subsequent racist meltdown, played more like a game of leisurely doubles than a pressure-cooker press conference. But there he was on Thursday, at the kick-off media huddle for the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival where his drama “Borg/McEnroe” serves as the opening gala screening. Donning what we’ll call a sporty running jacket, LaBeouf appeared alongside his director, Janus Metz, and co-stars Sverrir Gudnason and Stellan Skarsgård to discuss the film... Читать дальше...

“Alias Grace” showrunner, filmmaker and actress Sarah Polley is talking about sexual harassment on film sets, saying that instances of such abuse against women is an “every single day experience.” Some stories from set would simply “make your blood run cold,” she added. In a recent interview with Now Toronto, Polley said that women are forced to acclimate to a sexist work culture. “There is such fear about not being able to handle the environment of a film set,” she said. “There’s a real culture of machismo [on set]...

As the Giants go through the final paces of the season, fans can’t help but wonder what this team will do to re-make itself in 2018. No matter how you slice it, it appears San Francisco is in for a prolonged rebuilding period that’s going to involve a new philosophy. The team might have to abandon it’s long-term strategy of clinging to old veterans. However, they might be hamstrung on moves because of contracts. The team still owes centerfielder Denard Span $11 million next season and Hunter Pence $18 million. Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has awarded more contracts to build prototypes for the wall President Donald Trump wants to build on the U.S. border with Mexico. The prototypes announced Thursday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection are for four see-through walls. Last week, it announced contracts for prototypes for four concrete walls. The eight prototypes will cost a total of $3.6 million and will be built in San Diego, probably during this fall. The four companies announced Thursday are Caddell Construction Co. Читать дальше...

WADAKONA, South Sudan — As the United States considers lifting sanctions on Sudan, one of the most sensitive issues is on display in these tense borderlands: weapons. South Sudan’s government accuses its neighbor of supplying arms to rebels fighting its bloody civil war. Opposition fighters, who recently defected to the South Sudan government side, described how weapons flow in from Sudan — and how rebels flee there to find safe harbor. Past documentation by arms...

Hurricane Irma is threatening Florida, and Spanish-language broadcasters Telemundo and Univision aren’t taking any chances. Telemundo has evacuated its Hialeah, Florida headquarters, TheWrap has learned. To be clear, it’s not the new $250 million offices we reported on last year — that new location isn’t ready yet. Construction there is still on schedule for an early 2018 move-in. “Our employees’ safety is our first and foremost concern,” an NBCUniversal spokesperson told us. “We have an emergency...

Netflix released two first look images from “Black Mirror” Season 4 on Thursday, further adding to speculation as to what the episodes will be about. One image (above) shows the crew of the USS Callister, stars from the episode of the same name. More specifically, we get a full look at some of the costumes from it, which is clearly inspired by “Star Trek.” The women’s outfits are complete with gogo boots and large hair, so even the time period of the original series is in full force here. Jesse Plemons (“Fargo”)... Читать дальше...

ST. LOUIS — A federal judge in St. Louis on Thursday ordered a Virginia man and his companies to pay $32.4 million in damages for improper robocalls narrated by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee that promoted a religious-themed movie. U.S. District Judge E. Richard Webber said in the ruling that Gabriel Joseph III and his companies violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by making commercial calls to more than 3.2 million recipients without their consent. ...

The bold, masterful “Beach Rats,” one of the most exquisitely haunting LGBT coming-of-age stories ever told, takes place in the unhip fringes of Brooklyn, a land that time has forgotten. But nothing about this film is forgettable. Frankie (Harris Dickinson, in a breathtaking debut) is an aimless 19-year-old who spends most of his time smoking pot and hanging out with homophobic hoods — when he’s not secretly chatting with older men on online cruising sites. He has no job, his father is dying of cancer... Читать дальше...

Crown Heights: The story of wrongfully convicted prisoner Colin Warner is about atmosphere as much as the actual events. Director Matt Ruskin gives the viewer an unrelenting experience — devoid of montages, obvious feel-good moments, soundtrack cues and other cliches that inhabit more mainstream legal and prison dramas. Nnamdi Asomugha is excellent in a co-lead role as Warner’s loyal friend. Rated R. 96 minutes.

President Donald Trump sought to assure hundreds of thousands of immigrants protected from deportation under an Obama-era action that they need not worry about the wind-down of the program as Congress debates an alternative. But his tweet Thursday morning isn't likely to alleviate the high anxiety felt by immigrants about a White House that has taken aggressive steps to combat illegal immigration.

WASHINGTON (AP) — When in doubt, President Donald Trump has a ready-made response to any questions: "We'll see." On Wednesday, Trump delivered his go-to line repeatedly. Asked if he would tie debt ceiling legislation to Harvey relief: "We'll see." On his plans for an increasingly aggressive North Korea: "We'll see." And on efforts to work with the Chinese president: "We'll see how that works out." Trump relies heavily on "we'll see" in the White House, when parrying questions about national security, policy deliberations and personnel.

The most unusual murder mystery at Cannes played out on Wednesday morning in the Grand Theatre Lumiere, as Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardennes’ “The Unknown Girl” had its first screenings in competition. The Dardenne brothers aren’t known for things like murders and mysteries — instead, their cinema has long been based on an understated naturalism, evoking working-class lives with little fanfare but intense empathy. They’ve been to Cannes many times before, and won the Palme d’Or for “Rosetta” in 1999... Читать дальше...
