PHOENIX (AP) — Jury selection is scheduled to begin for a former elected Arizona utility regulator charged with accepting bribes from a water company owner in exchange for favorable decisions. It's unclear whether opening statements will be made Wednesday at the trial of former Corporation Commissioner Gary Pierce.

President Donald Trump has weighed in on the Twitter misfire that got Roseanne Barr’s hit sitcom canceled. In a Twitter post on Wednesday, the commander-in-chief publicly mocked Disney CEO Bob Iger for calling Valerie Jarrett to apologize for Roseanne’s offensive tweet and asked why the man who oversees ABC had never called him to apologize for “the HORRIBLE statements” made about him on the network. “Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that ‘ABC does not tolerate comments like those’ made by Roseanne Barr,” said Trump.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota judge has dismissed a complaint that regulators filed against a North Carolina-based company that handled security for the developer of the heavily protested Dakota Access oil pipeline. North Dakota's Private Investigative and Security Board plans to appeal Judge John Grinsteiner's Wednesday ruling to the state Supreme Court. Should that fail, it could pursue fines administratively. The dispute is whether TigerSwan provided actual investigative or security services within North Dakota without a license... Читать дальше...

ROME (AP) — Italy's premier-designate said Wednesday that "new possibilities" had emerged to form a government, and that he wanted to give the option a chance given that the prospect of new elections roiled global markets this week. The two populist parties that got the most votes in the March 4 election, the 5-Star Movement and the League, failed to create a government over the weekend after President Sergio Mattarella vetoed their proposed economy minister. Mattarella then turned to former IMF... Читать дальше...

LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) — If one were to list Sophia Kwende's accomplishments during her three short years at the University of Wyoming, it would read like the description of a much older scholar. At 20 years old, Kwende graduated this spring with dual degrees in chemistry and molecular biology, having completed three high-impact undergraduate research studies, received certification as an EMT and firefighter and left a lasting impression on the mentors who guided her. "I have worked with now upwards... Читать дальше...

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) — When Jorge Chiluisa first came to Stamford to work in 1990, his boss at GE Capital told him and his colleagues not to walk through Mill River Park. "He said it was dangerous," Chiluisa said. "We were all young and liked to go downtown to the bars after work, and he wanted us to be safe." Mill River then was stagnant, with car tires and shopping carts visible in the mud. The park was rundown, a home for drug dealers. "My boss told us to stay on the sidewalk when we were walking to the train... Читать дальше...

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Kenya's president says his government will spare no effort to recover all of the millions of dollars lost to a corruption scandal as diplomats representing 18 Western countries including the United States urge strong action against graft. President Uhuru Kenyatta says "there will be no mercy for the thieves." Kenyatta spoke a day after 24 officials were charged with corruption-related offenses in a probe linked to the alleged diversion of nearly $80 million. The president, who won a second term last year... Читать дальше...

“This Is Us” hasn’t even aired its third season yet and already it has filmed ending. Well “pieces” of an ending, that is. According to Entertainment Weekly, Dan Fogelman, the NBC family drama’s creator, revealed at a For Your Emmy Consideration panel held at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles on Tuesday that he and his fellow writers have already mapped out the Pearson family’s path, including the very last scene of “This Is Us,” which they’ve started to shoot. “We’re pretty far along,” Fogelman said.

JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — Except for holidays like Easter Sunday and Christmas Eve the Chapel of the Transfiguration doesn't see many people from October through May. But that doesn't mean it's unoccupied. Signs of winter squatters were all around as St. John's Episcopal Church parishioners prepped the chapel for summer services. Signs like a chewed-up candle discovered by members of the Altar Guild as they made sure everything in the sacristy was ready for services. "Every season we've got to clean up from the critters," said Annie Sampson... Читать дальше...

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma attorney general's office has sided again with a group trying to repeal recently approved tax hikes meant to fund teacher pay raises. The Oklahoman reports the office on Tuesday said the wording of the group's referendum petition for a statewide vote is clear enough. But state attorneys also said the state Supreme Court should clarify whether the tax bill referendum would affect a separate teacher pay raise bill. The Supreme Court asked the office...

Tomi Lahren has added her voice to the Roseanne Barr implosion, pointedly distancing herself from the former ABC star. “What Roseanne said was wrong,” tweeted the Fox News contributor on Tuesday evening. “I’m sure she knows that. She made a mistake. I don’t know why fellow conservatives are playing mental gymnastics trying to justify it. Come on. Wrong is wrong.” Lahren went on: “We know we can’t get away with what the Left can. We have to be better. We have to rise to the occasion & act right.” Also Read... Читать дальше...

OXON HILL, Maryland, EE.UU. (AP) — El Concurso de Deletreo Nacional de Scripps atrajo este año al mayor número de competidores en su historia, 516 participantes, pero la cifra se reducirá mucho el miércoles cuando anuncien a los aproximadamente 50 que llegarán a la final del jueves. El número aumentó en más de 200 porque Scripps comenzó con un programa de sorteo para darles oportunidad a más niños de las regiones muy competidas. Entre los competidores está Ataman Balakrishnan, de 12 años, quien tienen unos zapatos grandes que llenar... Читать дальше...

For a story about surfing, “Breath” pulls off a rather incredible sleight of hand. The directorial debut of “The Mentalist” star Simon Baker tells a pointed story of obsession and addiction and does so with such laid-back composure that you can conceivably feel as if you are watching a wholly different film. A period-set coming-of-age drama that deals with many of the difficult realities of growing up, there’s an emotive version of this story that would crest and crash with the waves; instead Baker...
