The Conners are coming back — just, you know, minus one. But can “The Conners” carry “Roseanne’s” torch without Roseanne? Well, it had better, because the “Roseanne” spinoff sitcom, which ABC ordered 10 episodes of sight-unseen after weeks of negotiations following its decision to fire Barr, has some big shoes to fill. The Disney broadcast network has scheduled “The Conners” in its vacated “Roseanne” time slot, Tuesdays from 8 p.m.-8:30 p.m. That spot kicks off the entire evening’s lineup, and ABC saw huge Nielsen numbers ...

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Friday told his fellow Republicans in Congress to “stop wasting their time” on immigration legislation until after the November elections. GOP leaders said they’d press on anyway, but his comments further damaged their attempt to win over wavering lawmakers for a measure already facing likely defeat. A little more than four months before the congressional elections, Trump also took a new shot at Democratic lawmakers, accusing them of spreading “phony... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) — Say this about TV creators in 2018 — they don't give up easily. Three current shows — "Roseanne," ''Transparent" and "House of Cards" — have been crippled by scandal, but each plans to continue without their disgraced stars. "The bottom line is fundamentally money," said Karen Tongson, a professor of English, Gender Studies and American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California. "These crews, these actors, these shows that have audiences, that have critical acclaim, are pushed to continue for those reasons.

The zoo announced this week that a female Masai giraffe was born on May 15, the fourth baby born to mother Hasina and the third for the father, Phillip. The calf, unveiled Thursday for World Giraffe Day, stands about 6 feet tall and weighs around 176 pounds. It doesn't have a name yet.

A third teen remains in federal custody... Читать дальше...

Eleven months ago, when the San Francisco Giants signed Pablo Sandoval to a minor league deal, the move was derided as typical sentimentality from a team unable to let go of the past. Ten months ago, when the Giants called Sandoval up to the majors, it was viewed as a nonsense transaction for a terrible team playing out the string in a lost season. Now? Sandoval with the Giants looks — dare we say? — genius. “It’s hard to quantify how great he’s been since he’s been back,” Brandon Belt said. Читать дальше...

DENVER (AP) — Colorado is joining a growing list of states that allow unaffiliated voters — the state's largest voting bloc — to participate in the major party primaries, thanks to a voter-passed initiative that coincided with disenchantment with the polarization of the 2016 election. The 2016 initiative allows Colorado's 1.2 million active independent voters to cast ballots Tuesday in either the Democratic or Republican party primaries on Tuesday. The initiative passed in a year that saw presidential... Читать дальше...

A: How common? Not very. Do I expect the role to expand? Absolutely. There are a few important factors to know, acknowledge and accept. Bitcoin is the blue chip of the cryptocurrencies and it’s also extremely volatile. If this asset class survives, which I believe it will, bitcoin will most likely be the international crypto monetary standard. This is a big leap as there are doubters. There are also many influential people who are believers and advocates including many in the tech industry here in San Francisco. Читать дальше...

The Raiders will take a look at another fullback, signing free agent Ryan Yurachek on Friday and waiving Henry Poggi.
