“The Simpsons” has found a solution to its Apu problem… by dropping the character “to avoid the controversy,” according to film producer Adi Shankar. “I got some disheartening news back, that I’ve verified from multiple sources now: They’re going to drop the Apu character altogether,” said Shankar in an interview with IndieWire. “They aren’t going to make a big deal out of it, or anything like that, but they’ll drop him altogether just to avoid the controversy.” Read the full article on The Wrap

Whether you were a “Twi-hard” fan or hardcore hater of Stephenie Meyer’s supernatural love-triangle saga, you can’t argue that “Twilight” brought a whole lot of people together online. From memes about questionable plot holes to jokes about Kristen Stewart’s toneless acting (their words not ours!), here are the best “Twilight” memes to celebrate — and mock — the film series all over again as it turns 10:  http://twilighthumor.tumblr.com/post/23823951448 1.

It took decades to find a safe place for the remains of Matthew Shepard, whose murder in 1998 as a 21-year old young college student turned him into a symbol of violence against gay people. But rest finally found him Friday during a ceremony of prayer, speeches and hymns at the Washington National Cathedral, the Episcopal house of worship that is a fixture of American politics and religion in Washington. His father, Dennis Shepard, said last month that the cathedral was an appropriate place for his son... Читать дальше...

Marques Tuiasosopo tried to do the seemingly impossible this week. The Cal quarterbacks coach attempted to get redshirt freshman Chase Garbers to smile during practice. “He goes, ‘Coach, I’m not going to smile until after we win on Saturday,’” Tuiasosopo said. “You can see where his focus is, and that’s what we’re going to need from that position to be great.” The Bears (4-3, 1-3 Pac-12) will need that kind of focus from their quarterbacks — and every other position — Saturday if they’re going to pull off an upset against No. Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump told young black conservatives Friday that his approval ratings among black voters shot up after Kanye West's recent visit to the White House, saying the rapper "may be the most powerful man in all of politics." The president played host at an East Room "summit" of black young adults that felt more like a political rally, with many of those in attendance wearing "Make America Great Again" hats and chanting "We want Trump! We want Trump!" Ten days before the midterm elections... Читать дальше...

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — The mother of a former Northern Arizona University student who was shot on the Flagstaff campus has appealed the dismissal of a conflict-of-interest allegation against the shooter's attorneys. The State Bar of Arizona did not find clear and convincing evidence that Ryan Stevens and Bruce Griffen violated ethical rules. They represent Steven Jones, who is being retried on murder and aggravated assault charges in March. Kimberly Prato's son, Nick, was shot in the neck in October 2015. Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon on Friday approved a request for additional troops at the southern border, likely to total several hundred to help the U.S. Border Patrol as President Trump seeks to transform fears about immigration and a caravan of Central American migrants into electoral gains in the midterms. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis signed off on a request for help from the Department of Homeland Security and authorized the military staff to work out details such as the size, composition and estimated cost of the deployments, according to a U.

This year’s World Series pits the first team to integrate against the last, and Pumpsie Green takes great pride in breaking the color barrier for the shamefully intolerant Boston Red Sox of 1959. Fifty-nine years later, however, Green admits to one confession. He would rather have played for his hometown team, the Oakland Oaks of the old Pacific Coast League. It’s one of many stories that Green, who turns 85 Saturday, shared on a recent afternoon at his home in the El Cerrito hills. A pair of Chronicle... Читать дальше...

INDEPENDENCE, Ore. — Delmiro Trevino, a U.S. citizen born in Texas, was waiting for a meal in a restaurant in Independence in 1977 when law officers demanded he show documents proving he was an American. “I was ashamed. It wasn’t right, what they were doing,” said Trevino, now 67. The incident of racial profiling was one of the inspirations for Oregon becoming America’s first sanctuary state. But now, Oregonians are deciding in the Nov. 6 election whether to repeal the law, even as other states, such as Vermont... Читать дальше...

Before the Warriors began their 1974-75 season, which would end in an NBA championship, there were a couple of meetings held that said a lot about that team. One meeting: Head coach Al Attles went to the office of team owner Franklin Mieuli and told him, “I just want to alert you that I’m keeping only two white players, (Rick) Barry and (Jeff) Mullins.” Back then, many NBA team owners, most of whom were small businessmen, feared the loss of white fans if the league got too black. Years later, Attles recalled Mieuli’s reaction.

PANAMA CITY, Fla. — More than two weeks after the powerful eye-wall of Hurricane Michael passed over Bay County, Mark Ward wonders when the power will work again. And the sewer. And the water. “We’ve been living out of coolers. We’ve been grilling out.” He points to a red cooler and two grills in front of his mobile home. He has to shout to be heard over the buzz of a generator. Although electric, water and sewer service were restored to Panama City residents on Wednesday, those like Ward who live... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK — Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News Channel personality who made a rocky transition to softer morning news at NBC, was ousted Friday from her “Today” program after her controversial on-air comments about blackface. “‘Megyn Kelly Today’ is not returning,” NBC News said in a statement. The fourth hour of NBC’s venerable “Today” franchise that Kelly’s show occupied will be hosted by other co-anchors from the show beginning next week, the network said. NBC didn’t address the status of Kelly or her multimillion-contract with the network. Читать дальше...

The project, written and executive produced by Kwan and Sangalli, centers on two very different families, one from Shanghai with new money and one from the East Coast of the U.S. with old money, who learn to co-exist when their children get married.

The Warriors shocked the NBA’s world when they won the championship in 2014-15, launching three-point shots with unprecedented abandon while playing a stifling brand of defense. It was unstoppable. It felt like a revolution. And now the revolution has been fully embraced, perhaps more dramatically than anyone thought possible. The league hasn’t put up such radical scoring numbers in nearly 50 years. But there’s a missing element from the Golden State blueprint, and that’s the defensive end. Even... Читать дальше...

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Democratic candidate Joe Radinovich and Republican hopeful Pete Stauber shared personal stories and traded jabs in a debate Friday as they run in a race that is one of the few chances for the GOP to pick up a Democratic-held House seat. Once considered a lock for Democrats, President Donald Trump won the 8th Congressional District by a commanding 15 percentage points in 2016. After three hard-fought terms, Democratic Rep. Rick Nolan announced his retirement, leaving the seat open. Читать дальше...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Dialysis companies have contributed an extraordinary $111 million to defeat a California ballot initiative. Proposition 8 would cap profits for dialysis clinics that provide treatment for people with damaged kidneys. A $5 million donation from dialysis company Fresenius pushed the anti-Proposition 8 campaign's total past the $109 million pharmaceutical companies spent two years ago to defeat a measure limiting prescription drug costs.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A man caught with more than $1 million in drug money in his car has become the latest member of a drug ring to be sentenced. The state attorney general's office says 35-year-old Shazad Khan of North Bergen was sentenced to 10 years. Khan was arrested in a parking lot in North Bergen with $1.2 million in the trunk of his Infiniti as he met with a co-conspirator. Khan previously pleaded guilty to money laundering. The arrest was part of "Operation Skin Deep," an investigation that led to the arrests of 12 people. Читать дальше...

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — Officials say that because of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June, it was a mistake for a worker at a Las Cruces early voting station to tell a man that he had to cover up his President Donald Trump T-shirt. The Las Cruces Sun-News reports David Merry showed up to vote Tuesday, wearing a shirt that has the face of Trump, with the message "Trump 2016." Underneath that, a jocular slogan reads, "There will be hell toupee." Merry also wore a jacket. The presiding judge for the... Читать дальше...

CALEXICO, California (AP) — Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Friday that "everything is on the table" as the administration considered new measures to stifle immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border and send a message that a slow-moving migrant caravan bound for the United States will not be welcome. "We are looking at every possible way within the legal construct that we have to make sure that those who don't have legal right to come to this country do not come in," Nielsen said. The...

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — A crane as tall as the Verruckt water slide in Kansas City, Kansas, is now in position to dismantle the attraction where a 10-year-old boy was killed more than two years ago. A spokeswoman for the Schlitterbahn water park told the Kansas City Star that demolition work is expected to begin Thursday. The 17-story Verruckt slide was billed as the tallest water slide in the world. In August 2016, Caleb Schwab was killed when the raft he was in went airborne and he struck a metal rod that held a safety net in place. Читать дальше...

NEW YORK — Before he won three NBA titles and two MVPs, before he led the Warriors to the best regular season in league history or established himself as the greatest shooter of all time, Stephen Curry hung 54 points on the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Now, nearly six years after the night he vaulted himself to the front of the NBA’s collective consciousness, Curry has yet to score more in a game. As he prepares for his annual stop Friday night at an arena known simply as “The Mecca,” Curry is intent on savoring it. Читать дальше...
