A look at what's happening around the majors today: FINAL SALE Andrew McCutchen was on the verge of becoming a Yankee late Thursday night as New York was close to completing a deal with San Francisco, and more players might move on the final day to swing trade waiver deals. The timetable for Aaron Judge's return from a broken wrist remains uncertain, meaning McCutchen could fill a big hole in the Bronx down the stretch. Among the players who could be traded Friday: Washington closer Ryan Madson has reportedly been claimed by the Dodgers... Читать дальше...

TOKYO (AP) — Japan's Defense Ministry is seeking to more than double spending on missile defense, including purchases of costly American arsenals, to defend against North Korean threats. The record-high 5.3 trillion yen ($47 billion) request for fiscal 2019, approved Friday by the ministry, is up 2.1 percent from last year. The military spending has risen seven consecutive years under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The request related to missile defense rises to 424 billion yen ($3.8 billion) from about 180 billion yen last year. Читать дальше...

Ports and ground terminals in nearly every state handle goods that are now or will likely soon be covered by import tariffs. Port executives worry that this could mean a slowdown in shipping that would have ripple effects on truckers and others whose jobs depend on trade. The Associated Press analyzed government data and found that from the West Coast to the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico, at least 10 percent of imports at many ports could face new tariffs if President Donald Trump's proposals take full effect.

DENVER (AP) — The field goal kicker from Adams State thought about her range for a moment. On the field, it's at least 54 yards, which is how far she connected on one during practice. In the arena of opening doors for other female football players, she hopes it's endless. Rebecca "Becca" Longo became one of the first females to receive a partial football scholarship a season ago. Given all the media attention surrounding her, the team elected to redshirt her. This season, the 19-year-old... Читать дальше...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Standing on the sideline and watching one-on-one drills, Jalen Ramsey had an up-close look at this touchdown. The receiver used a triple move to beat one of Ramsey's fellow defensive backs. Ramsey shook his head in disbelief and hollered a few choice words across the practice field. "That ain't happening in a game," Ramsey said, noting how long it took the play to develop. "Our defense is too good." Ramsey was being modest. Jacksonville's D has a chance to be great, maybe even generational. Читать дальше...

After Hawaii's Tristin Kamaka made a fair catch on a kickoff at his 13-yard line and the ball was moved up to the 25, Colorado State players pointed fingers and waved arms to indicate the spot was off by 12 yards, and the home fans howled. The reaction presented a teachable moment for the referee, who flipped on his microphone and announced: "By the new rule, a fair catch on a kick places the ball at the 25-yard line. First down." Yes, it's going to take time to get used to the NCAA's new kickoff rule. Читать дальше...

"Hope I die before I get old," the Who sang at Woodstock as the 1960s hurtled to their end. Indeed, the decade and its echoes made premature legends of so many — Kennedy to King, Hendrix to Joplin to Morrison. They became emblems of an era, and the packaging of their virtues and vices has never really stopped. But then there were those who didn't die, who did get old and emerged from that crucible and carried themselves through the arc of a life unabbreviated. They moved across decades and changes...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A blown tire on a semi-truck may be to blame for a deadly head-on crash with a commercial passenger bus along Interstate 40 in New Mexico near the Arizona border, according to authorities. At least seven people were killed in the crash and many of the 49 passengers aboard the Greyhound bus were injured although authorities couldn't immediately provide an exact count of how many were hurt or their conditions. New Mexico State Police said the semi was headed east on the freeway... Читать дальше...

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — No. 21 UCF has a new coaching staff — and an offense that looks very similar to the one that helped the Knights go undefeated a year ago. McKenzie Milton threw for 346 yards and tied a career high with five touchdowns as the self-proclaimed defending national champions routed UConn 56-17 on Thursday night to extend the longest winning streak in the nation to 14 games. The reigning American Athletic Conference offensive player of the year completed 24 of 32 passes and ran for another 50 yards on seven carries. Читать дальше...

DENVER (AP) — The Trump administration is rolling back some U.S. regulations on climate-changing methane pollution, calling them expensive and burdensome, but Colorado says its rules are working — and they have industry support. Energy companies have found and repaired about 73,000 methane leaks since 2015 under a state-required oil field inspection program, according to the Colorado Air Pollution Control Division. The number of leaks fell by 52 percent, from more than 36,000 in 2015 to about 17,250 in 2017... Читать дальше...

Labor Day retail sales signal two things: Summer is coming to a close and Black Friday (gasp!) isn't far off. Less-than-subtle signs that the holiday season is forthcoming, like Amazon releasing their 2018 Top Toy List, have surfaced. While many can easily ignore the Christmas creep, the most resolute, rock-bottom saving sleuths want the best deal, regardless of the time of year. This Labor Day weekend, you you'll find decent discounts on some items, like grills and summer apparel, that will rival even the best Black Friday bargains. Читать дальше...

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — A federal judge has put a 14-day hold on the first public grizzly bear hunts in Wyoming and Idaho in more than 40 years, as he considers whether the government was wrong to lift federal protections on the animals. U.S. District Judge Dana Christensen's order came just two days before the states prepared to open their grizzly bear hunting seasons on Saturday, which would have been the first in the Lower 48 states since Montana's last hunt in 1991. "The threat of death to individual... Читать дальше...

(AP) — The Latest on a commercial bus crash in New Mexico (all times local): 10:40 p.m. Authorities say there are now seven confirmed fatalities from a truck-bus crash on a New Mexico interstate. Preliminary information indicates a semi-truck traveling the opposite way had a blow-out and crashed head-on into the bus on Thursday afternoon.

DETROIT (AP) — Organizers of Aretha Franklin's funeral insist it will be a service, not a show. Yet the Queen of Soul's final send-off on Friday certainly will encompass many elements, emotions and grand entrances that were hallmarks of her more than six decades on sacred and secular stages. And it boasts a lineup of speakers and singers that would rival any of the hottest revues, past or present. To be sure, the invitation-only funeral at Detroit's Greater Grace Temple, which caps off a week of... Читать дальше...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles man who authorities said kept a small arsenal in his home was charged with making a series of phone calls threatening to kill journalists at The Boston Globe for what he allegedly called "treasonous" attacks on President Donald Trump. Robert Chain, 68, was arrested Thursday at his home in the Encino neighborhood. A neighbor said more than 30 heavily armed agents showed up and took him away in his boxer shorts. Chain later appeared in federal court, where prosecutors unsuccessfully asked a judge to detain him... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) — Nick Kyrgios was losing big at the U.S. Open on Thursday, and barely even trying. Didn't move while so-so serves flew by for aces. Casually put groundstrokes into the net. Double-faulted without caring. The crowd began booing. The chair umpire, Mohamed Lahyani, decided to intervene. In an unusual sight for Grand Slam tennis, Lahyani clambered down out of his seat during a break between games, stood with hands on knees, and spoke with the 30th-seeded Kyrgios, saying, among other things, "I want to help you.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on the U.S. Open tennis tournament (all times local): 12:25 a.m. Maria Sharapova overcame a bit of a stumble and 10 double-faults to grab the last three games in a 6-2, 7-5 victory over 51st-ranked Sorana Cirstea of Romania 6-2, 7-5 in the U.S. Open's second round. Five-time major champion Sharapova got broken at love to trail 5-4 in the second set. Cirstea then served to force a third set, and was two points away from doing so at 30-15, but Sharapova broke there to start her match-ending run. Читать дальше...

SAO PAULO (AP) — A damning image was whipping around WhatsApp in Brazil: A photo of a black luxury jet labeled "the plane of Lula's son" — seeming proof of high living by the family of jailed former Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who is leading polls ahead of October's presidential elections. The image was shared so often that a new fact-checking project known as Comprova set out to investigate — and quickly debunked it, tracing the jet's ownership all the way back to its date of manufacture.

DETROIT (AP) — Even if he doesn't play again for a while, Baker Mayfield has given Cleveland a glimpse. Mayfield threw for 138 yards in a dominant first half for the Browns, who wrapped up the preseason with a 35-17 victory over the Detroit Lions on Thursday night. Mayfield completed a 41-yard pass to Devon Cajuste on the first play from scrimmage, and the top overall pick in this year's draft looked sharp throughout his two quarters directing the offense. "I just think he improved every week," coach Hue Jackson said. Читать дальше...

East Rutherford, N.J. Third-stringer Danny Etling tossed a 1-yard touchdown pass to Ralph Webb early in the second half and iced the game with an 86-yard run late as the New England Patriots beat the New York Giants 17-12 in a preseason finale Thursday night. Both teams rested their starters. Giants quarterback Eli Manning chatted with receiver Odell Beckham Jr. in the first half, while Tom Brady sat next to the New England water coolers and relaxed. There wasn't much action on the field, with the... Читать дальше...
