WASHINGTON (AP) — A bloc of GOP House lawmakers from high-tax states mustered a show of force that nearly sank the Republican budget setting up a major overhaul of the tax system. The rebellious lawmakers oppose the targeting of a prized deduction in the tax plan pushed by President Donald Trump and Republican leaders. They insist the elimination of the federal deduction for state and local taxes would hurt their constituents and subject them to being taxed twice. The razor-thin 216-212 vote in the...

UC Berkeley’s independent student newspaper has issued a rare apology for an editorial cartoon - which remains on its website — after the campus chancellor called it anti-Semitic, as did the subject of the cartoon, celebrity attorney Alan Dershowitz, and several others who took offense at its stereotypic imagery. “We have seen with sharp clarity the pain and anger caused by an editorial cartoon that ran online in our opinion section on Oct. 18, and we apologize for this,” Karim Doumar...

BOSTON (AP) — A 200-year-old tomb under the historic Boston church closely associated with Paul Revere's famous midnight ride in 1775 has been reopened. The Boston Globe reports a tomb at the Old North Church was briefly reopened Tuesday for a structural assessment ahead of a major overhaul of the city's oldest surviving church, which turns 300 years old in 2023. Tomb 12, as it is known, was built in 1808 and had been reserved for church officials. It's part of a long-neglected network of 37 tombs... Читать дальше...

Microsoft's Bing search engine has long been a punch line in the tech industry, an also-ran that never came close to challenging Google's dominant position. But Microsoft could still have the last laugh, since its service has helped lay the groundwork for its burgeoning artificial intelligence effort. That AI effort could help keep Microsoft competitive as it builds out its post-PC future. Bing probably never stood a chance at surpassing Google, but its 2nd-place spot is worth more than the advertising dollars it pulls in with every click. Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks rose Thursday as gains for technology companies and banks helped the market recover some of its losses from earlier in the week. However drugmakers and distributors tumbled. The European Central Bank said Thursday it will begin gradually reducing the bond purchases it's been making to strengthen the regional economy. Investors were glad the bank isn't being more aggressive. The euro weakened and European stock indexes jumped. Technology companies recovered some of the ground they lost a day ago...

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A Louisiana State University fraternity has closed after its national leaders deemed the chapter to be "unsafe." The Advocate reports that LSU's Lambda Chi chapter was closed Sunday following a vote by the fraternity's national board of directors. In 2015, LSU had placed Lambda Chi on probation for hazing through May 2019. Tad Lichtenauer, a spokesman for the fraternity's national headquarters, said the board's vote was based on "a pattern of history" that doesn't reflect... Читать дальше...

The makers of “Thank You for Your Service” deserve a cinematic medal of honor for getting their film to a big screen. We’re in an age of sequels to sequels and reboots of reboots, where a well-reviewed movie that makes $400 million worldwide can be written up as a failure. And here’s an unflinching film about military post-traumatic stress disorder, with only a couple of action scenes, getting wide distribution. The good intentions go a long way, with another solid...

A new joint study between UC San Francisco and the California Department of Public Health, published Thursday in "Environmental Health Perspectives," has found that the CDPH has issued more health alerts for lead in candy than for the other top three sources of food contamination — E. coli, Botulism, and Salmonella — combined.

By the late 1960s, following the Second Vatican Council reforms, thousands of nuns had left their orders. What prompted this exodus? It’s a fascinating question, and when “Novitiate” retains its focus, it ventures towards some interesting answers. Writer-director Maggie Betts (who made the documentary “The Carrier”) does sometimes wander too far afield in her feature debut. Fortunately, a steel-spined Melissa Leo is always ready to wrench us back in. Leo plays Reverend Mother, the utterly unyielding... Читать дальше...

(AP) — Washington state's insurance commissioner says that 10 percent of the average premium increase that customers of the state's individual health insurance market will see is due to President Donald Trump's decision to stop paying federal subsidies to insurers.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — In a story Oct. 25, The Associated Press reported that the indictment of two consultants involved in Democratic U.S. Rep. Bob Brady's 2012 re-election campaign included charges of conspiracy and lying to the FBI. The story should have made clear that a charge of making false statements to FBI agents was brought only against consultant Donald Jones. Co-defendant Kenneth Smukler is not charged with that crime.

For decades, space travel was seen as a risky investment, one that venture capitalists shied away from. But recently, the commercial space industry has attracted a growing number of investors that now includes the Kingdom of Saudia Arabia, which announced Thursday it plans to invest $1 billion in Richard Branson’s portfolio of space companies. In a statement, Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al-Saud, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, said the country intended to take a large stake in Branson’s... Читать дальше...
