Paden Prichard knows Tiburon’s 233 Round Hill Road as well as anyone. After all, the Marin County-based designer has led multiple remodeling and expansion efforts at the serene estate framing views of Sausalito, Richardson Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. “I’ve had other projects where I’ve worked on the same property multiple times over the years for the same owners, so that part’s not unusual,” Prichard said. “What’s unusual is the attention to detail and commitment these clients...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A mother is outraged that it took more than eight months for a Kansas City man, whose killing of his ex-girlfriend was ruled self-defense, to be arrested on an outstanding warrant. The Kansas City Star reports that a warrant was issued in August for 35-year-old David Love for missing a court date while on probation in an unrelated receiving stolen property case. About a week later, he fatally shot 32-year-old Jessika Peppers. Her mother, Carol Peppers, said... Читать дальше...

The breakout stars of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” are undoubtedly the weird bird-cats known as porgs. The little guys have divided “Star Wars” fans, with many struggling to decide if they love them more than Ewoks, or hate them — more than Ewoks. We’ve ranked every porg that appears in “The Last Jedi” to scientifically determine whether each one is impossibly cute, or just dumb. 27. Windshield porg This porg needs to tone down the Gilligan’s Island slapstick antics. We get it, you’re cute, stop trying to be the center of attention. Читать дальше...

The problem with “high-concept” movies is that eventually they have to move beyond that concept and tell a whole, satisfying story. It’s harder than it sounds. Just take a look at “Bad Samaritan,” a film about a thief who breaks into the house of a serial killer. He doesn’t know what to do next, and neither does the movie. Robert Sheehan (“Geostorm”) stars as Sean, a photographer with a wonderful girlfriend, Riley (Jacqueline Byers, “Salvation”), who makes ends meet with a clever little scam: Sean and his best friend Derek (Carlito Olivero...

(AP) — A federal judge on Friday asked skeptical questions about special counsel Robert Mueller's authority to bring charges against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort on tax and bank fraud charges. Manafort's lawyers argued at a hearing in Alexandria that the charges are far afield from Mueller's mandate to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 election and whether any collusion occurred. "I don't see what relationship this indictment has with what the special counsel... Читать дальше...

President Donald Trump apparently wants to sit down with former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who he has repeatedly ridiculed for kneeling during the National Anthem.

Disney promised a new “Star Wars” movie every year after it acquired Lucasfilm, and the saga keeps on keeping on with “Episode VIII: The Last Jedi.” But while many would call themselves “Star Wars” fans, even they will admit that the movies in the saga are by no means created equal. In reverse order, here is a rundown of the best and worst that these films (not counting the cartoons, the Ewok spin-off or the infamous Holiday Special) have to offer.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A newspaper investigation has found that more than half of Philadelphia's public elementary schools have serious environmental hazards like lead dust, mold spores and asbestos fibers. In a series that began this week, the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News said a review of building and other internal records identified more than 9,000 environmental problems across the district since September 2015.

MOSCOW (AP) — The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said Friday that its fact-finding mission to Douma brought back samples for analysis at OPCW-designated laboratories — a process that could take at least three-to-four weeks.

The organization says it is not possible to say when it will issue a report into the April 7 attack. The inspectors are only mandated to establish whether a chemical weapon was used...
