WHEATON, Md. (AP) — Consuelo Anglarill, 82, took a bus to the Safeway on Georgia Ave. on Jan. 15. Her daughter, Elizabeth, suspects the retired nanny was simply bored that Sunday morning. "She doesn't like being home alone." As the elderly woman crossed the busy state highway in front of the grocery store, a car struck and killed her. Just three days earlier, a woman was hit and seriously injured at the same intersection. It's among the most dangerous spots for pedestrians on Maryland state roads... Читать дальше...

KABUL — Vice President Mike Pence, making an unannounced trip to Afghanistan, reaffirmed the Trump administration’s support for the country’s beleaguered government and starkly warned neighboring Pakistan to stop harboring militant groups that have long undermined the U.S.-led coalition’s mission here. Pence’s brief visit Thursday, during which he met with senior Afghan leaders and spoke to U.S. troops, was not made public until just before he left the country because of security concerns.

GALLUP, N.M. (AP) — The man accused of gunning down a tribal police officer this year in a remote corner of the nation's largest American Indian reservation will not go to trial until June 2019 because of the case's complexity and the possibility that the suspect could face a death sentence if convicted, officials have said. The Gallup Independent reported Thursday that Kirby Cleveland's federal court trial has been delayed because lawyers have requested more time given the amount of evidence and witnesses involved...

The life stories of movie stars tend to follow the same arc: struggle, success, obscurity. Even the embellishments don’t vary much: addiction, plastic surgery, financial downgrades, messy personal lives. The biography of noir icon Gloria Grahame, who won an Oscar for her nine minutes in “The Bad and the Beautiful” and has found a kind of immortality via the character Violet Bick in “It’s a Wonderful Life,” offers little deviation from the norm.

A day after releasing their longest injury report of the season, the Raiders signed two players to their active roster Friday. The Raiders promoted linebacker Brady Sheldon from their practice squad and signed offensive lineman Ian Silberman, whom they waived in the preseason, from Cleveland’s practice squad.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Numerous law enforcement and emergency agencies have converged at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Green Bay Police say they responded early Friday afternoon to a "possible disturbance with a vehicle" at the stadium where the Green Bay Packers play. Pictures on WLUK-TV show police cars at the scene and a couple of crashed vehicles — including a van that appeared to have backed onto the hood of smaller vehicle. Police plan a news conference later Friday. The Packers host the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau on Saturday night.

BERLIN (AP) — German automakers BMW and Daimler say they expect the $1.5 trillion tax overhaul in the United States to boost their earnings for the year significantly. The legislation that U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law on Friday cuts the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. BMW and Daimler said they therefore have to recalculate deferred taxes in the balance sheets of their U.S operations. Daimler says the change means a roughly 1.7 billion-euro ($2 billion) boost for its 2017 net earnings. Читать дальше...

CHICAGO (AP) — Apple iPhone owners from several states are suing the tech giant for not disclosing sooner that it had issued software updates deliberately slowing older-model phones so aging batteries lasted longer. Lawyers filed a class-action lawsuit Thursday in Chicago federal court on behalf of five iPhone owners from Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and North Carolina. They say they would not have purchased newer, pricier iPhones had Apple disclosed that simply replacing the batteries would have sped up their older phones. Читать дальше...

Television characters are a dime a dozen, but sometimes when we lose one it can pack a pretty hard punch. Especially if they go out in a totally epic way. In 2017, we watched more than a few good men and women kick the bucket on TV (though a couple we were honestly glad to be rid of). Here are the ones who went out a total badass — or maybe were killed by a total badass. Find a random sampling of the vicious passings below and scroll through our gallery to see the rest. Bob, “Stranger Things” — Bob was a nice guy. Читать дальше...

“All in the Money in the World” was in the news before it was in the theaters, because of a re-shoot to replace Kevin Spacey with Christopher Plummer, following the sexual allegations against Spacey this fall. His role was that of billionaire J. Paul Getty, and when I read that, I assumed that Getty couldn’t be that large a part. Pivotal, maybe. Colorful, for sure, but not something occupying much actual screen time. Well, it turns out that J. Paul Getty is all over “All the Money... Читать дальше...

Having just started her first job as a historic preservationist in California, Anthea Hartig decided she needed to do field research at a traditional Christmas Eve dinner in Paris. So she borrowed vacation time from her employer, the city of Rancho Cucamonga, and traveled light. Just the essentials — her grandmother’s black cocktail dress from the 1960s, a journal which was also her sketchbook, and a travel case of watercolors. “Like many historians who go to archives...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has endorsed Republican congressman Ron DeSantis for Florida governor. Trump tweeted Friday that DeSantis is "a brilliant young leader." DeSantis, who is 39, back in August proposed a time limit on funding for special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into potential collusion between Russia and Trump or his associates. DeSantis's House website has a link to a column he signed on FoxNews.com. Other Trump allies have tried to discredit Mueller and his team. Читать дальше...

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — When stories of sexual misconduct by powerful men began to fill the news this fall, Manny Vega immediately flashed back to his childhood. He saw strong similarities between the recent allegations against producers and politicians and his own abuse as a child by his parish priest. "The parallels are in the power dynamics," said Vega, a former police officer and decorated Marine who lives in Oxnard, California. "Whether you're the leader of a church or the leader of a film studio... Читать дальше...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — There will be no legal pot party in Los Angeles on Jan. 1. California kicks off recreational sales on New Year's Day, but Los Angeles officials announced Friday that dispensaries in the city won't be part of the celebration. The city won't begin accepting applications to sell legal recreational pot until Jan. 3, and it could take a month or more before those businesses are properly licensed with the city and state. Medicinal sales to consumers with a doctor's recommendation can continue during that time. Читать дальше...
