MARSHALL, Mich. (AP) — The newest residents in Marshall don't have anything to say. The small town in Calhoun County is displaying 28 skeletons downtown as part of its inaugural Skeleton Fest, which runs through Halloween. There are skeletons riding a bike, drinking coffee and even playing Twister. Jane Reid of the Marshall Area Economic Development Alliance says the goal is to attract people who don't mind something a little ghoulish. She says maybe they'll stick around and explore.

U.S. regulators have approved a new medicine for treating a common type of breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Eli Lilly's Verzenio (verr-ZEHN'ee-oh) was approved Thursday by the Food and Drug Administration for patients with what's called HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer that has worsened after hormone therapy. According to the FDA, about 72 percent of patients with breast cancer have this type. The daily pill is to be used either alone, after hormone therapy and chemotherapy have stopped working...

DENVER (AP) — A Colorado district attorney on Thursday asked a grand jury to investigate the 2010 death of a street preacher in a city jail after deputies shocked the man with a Taser and restrained him, renewing scrutiny of the case seven years after her predecessor decided not to file charges against any of the officers. Denver District Attorney Beth McCann's announcement said she isn't asking a grand jury to reconsider homicide charges but is focused on a "limited aspect of the case." The decision...

Megyn Kelly has had a somewhat bumpy first week as a morning TV personality. Her cameraman isn’t having such a great go of it either. The hiccups for Kelly’s new NBC show “Megyn Kelly Today” continued during Thursday’s episode, as a camera man wandered into frame and dropped an expletive. The moment came as Kelly interviewed soccer star Carli Lloyd, who was on hand to discuss her sports initiative for girls.

By at least one metric, men and women in technology are treated the same: As they get older, they struggle to get hired in equal measures. Regardless of gender, people ages 52 to 70 are 60 percent less likely to be hired for a tech job than their participation in the workforce would suggest, according to new research from Visier Inc., a Vancouver human resource analytics software company. Slightly younger workers, between 34 and 51, are 33 percent less likely, according to the data. Читать дальше...

LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — California's emerging marijuana industry is being rattled by an array of unknowns, as the state races to issue its first licenses to grow and sell legal recreational pot on Jan. 1. "We all have anxiety," top state pot regulator Lori Ajax told an industry group Thursday. "It's not going to be perfect." California voters in 2016 approved Proposition 64, which legalized recreational pot use for adults in the nation's most populous state. It takes effect in 2018, when the new... Читать дальше...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts school district says one of its librarians didn't have permission when she tried to reject a book donation from Melania Trump. Cambridge Public Schools says an editorial letter written by librarian Liz Phipps Soeir represented her opinions and was not an official statement on behalf of the district. Soeir's school was among one from each state chosen to receive 10 Dr. Seuss books from the first lady for National Read a Book Day. But the librarian penned a letter... Читать дальше...

Summer of Love hype aside, much of San Francisco’s recent history seems impossibly remote. That’s why there’s an exotic feel to “Designing San Francisco: Art, Land, and Urban Renewal in the City by the Bay,” Alison Isenberg’s exploration of how the northeast corner of the city changed — and resisted change — in the 1960s. As the thorough title suggests, this is an academic book, full of methodical prose and half-page paragraphs. Some of its conclusions reach too far to grasp an overarching theme.

A’s manager Bob Melvin signed an extension on Thursday, expanding his contract through the 2019 season, and that sounds about right. He loves the organization and its players, but he has seen too much over the years to commit himself long-term. These are pretty good times for the A’s. They’ve settled on a ballpark site, although there’s a long list of complications that could skewer the deal. They have a sterling assemblage of young players with a future, including Matt Chapman, Matt Olson... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — A senior State Department official acknowledged Thursday that U.S. intelligence agencies don't believe North Korea will ever pull the plug on its nuclear program, raising concerns among lawmakers over the Trump administration's strategy for bringing a mounting crisis to a peaceful close. Susan Thornton, the acting assistant secretary of state for East Asia and the Pacific, said her department and other federal agencies are "testing" the conclusion reached by the intelligence agencies.
