A cold front swept through the Bay Area on Monday to cover the highest peaks in the region with a light dusting of snow, while surprised drivers and delighted children dealt with a blanket of hail that clobbered commuters. In Oakland, the hail was ample and resembled snow as children attempted to sleigh down white hills. Throughout the morning there were reports of ice raining down across the region, said Ryan Walbrun, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Читать дальше...

SAN DIEGO — The Trump administration said Monday that California Gov. Jerry Brown rejected terms of the National Guard’s initial deployment to the Mexican border, but a state official said nothing was decided. “The governor determined that what we asked for is unsupportable, but we will have other iterations,” Ronald Vitiello, U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s acting deputy commissioner, told reporters in Washington. Brown elicited rare and effusive praise from... Читать дальше...

Crafty and mind-bending, “The Endless” is a highly effective, psychological horror thriller in which two ex-cult members return to their apocalyptic commune, only to get trapped into supernatural time loops that challenge their memories of the past. It’s an almost impossible movie to describe; it has to be experienced. And though every frame isn’t tidily wrapped up at the end — that was never the intent — “The Endless” gets into your head and keeps you alert for whatever abnormal turn comes next. Читать дальше...

David.” A new preview clip released on Monday reveals Galecki’s return to the series as David Healy, estranged husband to Sara Gilbert’s character Darlene and father of her children. “Oh wow.

“Little Pink House” deals with a legal case that has implications for everyone who owns their own home, or hopes to, or just aspires to having a precious, inviolate space where the world can’t get at you. It tells the true story of Susettle Kelo, a paramedic who decided she wanted to live in a quiet place, so she bought a house in New London, Conn., completely renovated it and painted it pink, as in the John Mellencamp song. In 1997, New London was a working-class neighborhood with a depressed economy... Читать дальше...

DOUMA, Syria (AP) — Two days after Syrian troops declared this town near the capital, Damascus, liberated from rebel fighters and 10 days since a suspected chemical attack, a tour on Monday revealed widespread destruction and traumatized residents who recalled months spent cowering in crowded underground shelters infested with lice, with barely any food or water. Except for the Russian and Syrian troops patrolling the streets, few people could be seen in Douma, the majority of its residents now displaced to rebel-held areas to the north.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Fatal drug overdoses are increasing organ donations, and new research says people who receive those transplants generally fare as well as patients given organs from more traditional donors. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University report those transplants have jumped nearly 24-fold since 2000, to 3,533 transplants in 2016. Monday's study cautions that overdose-related donations aren't a solution for the nation's organ shortage. After all, nearly 115,000 people are on the national transplant waiting list...

Any Bay Area theatergoer worth his or her salt is well acquainted with the plays by Lauren Gunderson, but many fewer of us have seen her perform.

“Ismael’s Ghosts” is a very French concoction, partly self-indulgent, partly obscure and partly long-winded, and yet, in the main, original and emotionally compelling. There are moments in this movie that are richer than anything you can possibly see in a movie theater this month, scenes that will fill you with awe. And then there’s a scene of Marion Cotillard dancing solo to Bob Dylan’s “It Ain’t Me Babe” that makes you wonder how it’s possible that French people think it’s actually OK to dance to folk music.
