SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The New Mexico Supreme Court has heard arguments that a man sentenced to serve life in prison in the 2015 killing of a police officer received an unfair trial. An attorney for Andrew Romero argued Tuesday that the jury was tainted during his trial because four jurors indicated they had been exposed to some media coverage resulting from the shooting that killed Rio Rancho Officer Gregg Nigel Benner. KRQE reports that Romero's attorney argued that none of the 12 jurors should have been exposed to media headlines in the case.

The Contra Costa County sheriff’s office is asking for the public’s help as it investigates the attempted abduction of a 12-year-old girl in El Sobrante. The sheriff’s office said the girl was at a bus stop bench in front of a Walgreens on the 3600 block of San Pablo Dam Road when a man sat next to her and offered to pay her to leave with him. She became scared and left and a bystander called police. The suspect is described as an African American male, 45-55 years old with a gray hoodie-style sweat jacket with the word “Gap” across the front. Читать дальше...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico saw a spike in traffic fatalities in August as a deadly crash involving a passenger bus and a semi-trailer killed nine people. Preliminary data compiled by the state Transportation Department and the University of New Mexico shows more than 40 people died on the state's roadways last month. That's more than any previous month this year and more than the same month in 2016 and 2017. New Mexico also recorded three alcohol-related traffic deaths in August, marking the lowest monthly total so far this year. Читать дальше...

The Herald Journal newspaper reports that the sculpture is being constructed at Merrill-Cazier Library over the course of several weeks, with the help of people in Logan. Sculptor Patrick Dougherty of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, has made more than 250 sculptures in locations around the world, often using sticks as raw material.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country singer and songwriter Luke Bryan has hosted a free street concert to mark the opening of his new Tennessee restaurant that drew nearly 30,000 people to downtown Nashville. The Tennessean reports Monday's concert marked the grand opening earlier that afternoon of Luke's 32 Bridge Food + Drink, a multi-story live entertainment complex. The concert also featured country singers Ryan Hurd and Cole Swindell. Bryan performed a 75-minute set that included songs such as "Most... Читать дальше...

The Elko County Sheriff's Office confirmed earlier had identified three suspects in the alleged abduction of two women in their early 20s by two men who were later released in nearby Spring Creek. Elko Police Lt. Mike Palhegyi told the Elko Daily Free Press Tuesday no arrests have been made but there are now four suspects — three man and a woman — in what appears to have been a dispute over money.

Though the Yankees remain on pace to reach the 100-win mark, the threat of being forced to take a cross-country trip, likely to Oakland, for a one-and-done postseason game sure has not disappeared. Joe Mauer hit a grand slam in the fifth inning, and the Twins beat visiting New York for the first time in 10 meetings, a 10-5 victory Tuesday night after another flop by Sonny Gray as a starter. Didi Gregorius answered with a slam of his own in the sixth, but that was the only bright spot for the Yankees... Читать дальше...

TORONTO (AP) — Just as film festival audiences are swooning over Bradley Cooper's celebrated romance "A Star Is Born," the film's studio is distancing itself from a producer of the project. Jon Peters is a credited producer of the new "A Star Is Born," the third remake of the Hollywood fable. Peters was instrumental in the making of the 1976 version of "A Star Is Born," which starred his then-girlfriend Barbra Streisand. But with the new film in the spotlight, Peters' history has come under scrutiny. Читать дальше...

Steve Yzerman announced Tuesday that he is resigning as general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning after building them into a perennial contender, handing the reins to longtime assistant Julien BriseBois just two days before training camp. Yzerman will move to a senior adviser role working under BriseBois and he said he was “100 percent committed” to the Lightning this season. Owner Jeff Vinik joined both men at a news conference in Tampa, Fla. Yzerman, 53, spent the past eight seasons as Tampa Bay’s GM... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) — Since arriving in New York two years ago to revitalize Calvin Klein with his hip European sensibility, it's often seemed that designer Raf Simons has taken an oversized bite of the city's fashion world. It's perhaps apt, then, that his latest collection should be a riff on the movie "Jaws." The Belgian designer makes no secret of his obsession with cinema, often referencing obscure European films as inspiration for his work. But after Tuesday's "Jaws"-themed runway show, it was clear...

Woodstock police tell WCAX-TV they received a call Tuesday from Woodstock Union High School staff about a student who may have made a threat on social media. Authorities say administrators responded with the school's security procedure. Police say no students or staff were injured. The nature of the alleged threats weren't disclosed. An investigation is ongoing. ___ Information from... Читать дальше...

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The Latest on the New Hampshire primary election (all times local): 1:05 a.m. A New Hampshire doctor making a run for Congress has conceded a tight primary race to his Republican rival. Stewart Levenson's campaign says he has called state lawmaker Steven Negron to concede Negron's victory in Tuesday's GOP primary to face Democratic incumbent Rep. Annie Kuster. She sailed through unopposed. The Associated Press has not yet declared a winner in the race. Negron served in the Air Force and worked in the defense industry. Читать дальше...

“Slice,” the feature film debut for Chance the Rapper and his childhood friend, writer-director Austin Vesely, had its premiere and sole theatrical screenings on Monday night, just before distributor A24 surprise-dropped it on iTunes, digital and on-demand like it’s a new Beyoncé album. “It was a drunken scribble in a notebook that I turned into a script for a short film,” writer/director Vesely joked during a Q&A after its Chicago screening, which was simulcast to the screenings in 20 other cities.

WASHINGTON (AP) — To whip up a monstrous storm like the one chugging for the Carolinas you need a handful of ingredients — and Florence has them all. Warmer than normal sea temperatures to add energy and rain to a storm. Check. A wind pattern that allows a storm to get strong and stay strong. Check. Higher sea levels to make a storm surge worse. Check. A storm covering enormous area, to drench and lash more people. Check. And an unusual combination of other weather systems that are likely to stall Florence when it hits the Carolinas...

Rookie Ryder Jones sits in his San Francisco hotel room before he comes to the ballpark “thinking about how much this sucks” but trying to stay positive despite the fate that befell him in Milwaukee on Sunday. Buster Posey is done for the year. Brandon Belt has recurring knee soreness that likely will require a cleanup operation after the season. So Jones, 24, was going to get a fair share of time at first base. Then, on Sunday, he swung at a pitch, hit a foul ball and felt a jolt of pain in his left knee that put him on his back.

ARIES. (March 20 - April 18): You finally master something you struggled with. Not quite the ringing triumph you imagined, but a triumph just the same.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Stewart Levenson has conceded a tight U.S. House primary in New Hampshire to Republican rival Steven Negron.

Jon Peters has not been certified by the Producer’s Guild of America for the 2018 remake of “A Star Is Born” starring Bradley Cooper and Lady GaGa, the PGA tells TheWrap. He will therefore not receive the guild credit next to his name, and is ineligible for any PGA award should the film be nominated. The PGA made the determination after an article Monday on Jezebel resurfaced accusations of sexual harassment made against Peters by at least five different women. Notably, in 2011, Peters was ordered to pay $3 million in damages to Shelly Morita... Читать дальше...

The Giants no longer have a garden-variety losing streak. It's now a beast that breathes on its own, its tonnage crushing the life out of the team while threatening to grow into something historic. As it is, the streak reached 10 games, the longest in the Brian Sabean era and tied for the worst in San Francisco history, with Tuesday night's 4-1 loss to the Braves. A lineup with four rookies, five including pitcher Andrew Suarez, provided little challenge for Mike Foltynewicz, who was an out away from a shutout until Evan Longoria’s single... Читать дальше...

ATLANTA (AP) — Just months ago, disaster planners simulated a Category 4 hurricane strike alarmingly similar to the real-word scenario now unfolding on a dangerously vulnerable stretch of the East Coast. A fictional "Hurricane Cora" barreled into southeast Virginia and up the Chesapeake Bay to strike Washington, D.C., in the narrative created by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Argonne National Laboratory. The result was catastrophic damage, which has some experts concerned that Hurricane... Читать дальше...

Hurricane Florence's heavy rains could cause an environmental disaster in North Carolina, where waste from hog manure pits, coal ash dumps and other industrial sites could wash into homes and threaten drinking water supplies. Computer models predict more than 3 feet of rain in the eastern part of the state, a fertile low-lying plain veined by brackish rivers with a propensity for escaping their banks. Longtime locals don't have to strain their imaginations to foresee what rain like that can do. It's happened before. Читать дальше...

BATH, Maine (AP) — Maine forestry officials are going to release parasitic flies as a preemptive strike against the winter moths that plague some of the state's forests. The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry's Maine Forest Service will release the flies on Wednesday in Bath. The service says the flies only attack the moths, and have been successfully used to control the moths in Canada and New England. The winter moth is originally from Europe. Their larvae feed on the leaves of trees and shrubs... Читать дальше...
