WASHINGTON (AP) — House approves $5.7 billion for Trump's border wall, sending bill back to Senate and raising risk of partial shutdown.

Two days after DeForest Buckner wasn’t voted to the Pro Bowl, the 49ers defensive tackle looked on the bright side. “They got me as an alternate, so at least they know my name,” Buckner said, smiling. “Now I’ve got to make them remember it, right?” Buckner, a first alternate, collected a career-best 11 sacks, which is the most by a 49ers’ player in six seasons. The three interior defensive linemen selected ahead of him were the Rams’ Aaron Donald (16.5 sacks), Philadelphia’s Fletcher Cox (7.5) and Chicago’s Akiem Hicks (6). Читать дальше...

Inside the library of a Hollywood Hills home, actress Tiffany Chu gazed expectantly at the camera, waiting for guidance from the audience. Should she greet the neighbor with a handshake, a hug, or a kiss? “I will do what they say,” Chu said in a monotone voice as the character of Sophie, a robot who yearns to become human. “I’ve come to trust the wisdom of the audience.” After scanning the results of an online poll from viewers, the actress puckered her lips and awkwardly kissed the neighbor on the cheek as he entered the room.

DETROIT (AP) — An appeals court has overturned key rulings by a Detroit federal judge who slowed down or suspended the deportation of Iraqi nationals across the country. In a 2-1 decision Thursday, the appeals court agreed with the U.S. Justice Department and said Judge Mark Goldsmith exceeded his authority in immigration disputes. Sixth Circuit Judge Alice Batchelder says one of Goldsmith's legal conclusions was "broad, novel and incorrect." She says he "created out of thin air" a requirement that deportees get bond hearings.

SALT LAKE CITY — Warriors big man Jordan Bell has learned the power of a narrative in the NBA. In recent weeks, as Bell struggled to capitalize on consistent playing time, some took to Twitter to deride his work ethic. The notion that Bell isn’t diligent stems for a widely circulated anecdote from last season. When Bell stayed in his hotel room on April 20 instead of attending an optional practice after Game 3 of the first round in San Antonio, forward Andre Iguodala reminded the rookie that optional workouts don’t apply to him.

Former Cook County Circuit Judge Jessica O'Brien sobbed loudly in court Thursday before U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin handed down the sentence.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Republican-controlled Legislature began voting Thursday on a plan to spend more on roads, environmental cleanup and children's protective services — despite criticism that it would shift money that otherwise should go to Michigan schools. The mid-fiscal year legislation is a final chance for GOP Gov. Rick Snyder and many lawmakers to put an imprint on state spending before they leave office. One bill, passed on a party-line 26-12 vote in the Senate and sent to the House in the closing hours of a lame-duck session... Читать дальше...

As they say every year, it has been one hell of a year — and that idiom even applies to the idiot box. Take “Roseanne” for example: In 2018 alone, ABC revived its old sitcom, made it the top show on TV, canceled it, ordered a spinoff, premiered that spinoff by killing off its former star AND went on hiatus with Dan Conner (John Goodman) already having a new love interest. Mm-hmm, it’s been a looooooong 12 months. Read the full article on The Wrap

A former cashier at a San Francisco Whole Foods Market says she was sexually harassed by her male supervisor and terminated days after reporting the man's behavior to management, a lawsuit alleges.

NEW YORK — You don’t need to hang the mistletoe higher but you might want to skip the holiday cookies. A new report released Thursday shows U.S. adults aren’t getting any taller but they are still getting fatter. The average U.S. adult is overweight and just a few pounds from obese, thanks to average weight increases in all groups — but particularly whites and Hispanics. Overall, the average height for men actually fell very slightly over the past decade. There was no change for women. One factor may be the shift in the country’s population. Читать дальше...

1 Critical memo: President Trump’s pick for attorney general, William Barr, sent an unsolicited memo to the Justice Department this year criticizing as “fatally misconceived” the special counsel’s investigation into whether the president took steps to obstruct a probe into ties between his campaign and Russia. The 20-page memo, sent in June while Barr was in private practice and months before he was selected by Trump for the Justice Department job, could factor into his future confirmation hearings...

SAN DIEGO — The pang of loneliness is far higher than even the gloomiest of previous estimates, according to a new study from researchers at UC San Diego. Three-fourths of Americans experience moderate to high levels of loneliness, said the study, published this week in International Psychogeriatrics. Previous studies found loneliness rates of 17 percent to 57 percent. Men and women were equally affected. While the numbers show a larger percentage of the population experiences loneliness, the study... Читать дальше...
