WASHINGTON — The universe is looking younger every day, it seems. New calculations suggest the universe could be a couple billion years younger than scientists now estimate, and even younger than suggested by two other calculations published this year that trimmed hundreds of millions of years from the age of the cosmos. The huge swings in scientists' estimates — even this new calculation could be off by billions of years — reflect different approaches to the tricky problem of figuring the universe's real age. "We have large... Full story

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Times says Justify won the 2018 Triple Crown after a failed postrace drug test at a California track that could have kept the horse out of the Kentucky Derby. The newspaper reported Wednesday that Bob Baffert-trained Justify tested positive for the drug scopolamine after winning the Santa Anita Derby, one of the final prep races for the Kentucky Derby. Justify went on to win the Derby and took the Preakness and Belmont stakes to complete the Triple Crown. The Times said instead of a speedy d... Full story
YUMA, Ariz. — On a dirt road past rows of date trees, just feet from a dry section of Colorado River, a small construction crew is putting up a towering border wall that the government hopes will reduce — for good — the flow of immigrants who cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. Cicadas buzz and heavy equipment rumbles and beeps before it lowers 30-foot-tall (9-meters-tall) sections of fence into the dirt. "Ahí está!" — "There it is!" — a Spanish-speaking member of the crew says as the men straighten the sections in... Full story
WASHINGTON — Fights over abortion and President Donald Trump's U.S.-Mexico border wall have thrown Senate efforts to advance $1.4 trillion worth of agency spending bills into disarray, threatening one of Washington's few bipartisan accomplishments this year. A government shutdown remains unlikely, but agencies face weeks or months on autopilot while frozen at this year's levels if the logjam isn't broken. At issue are 12 annual budget bills to fund the day-to-day operations of the government. The bills are needed to fill i... Full story
SAN DIEGO - Assemblyman Todd Gloria, D-San Diego, praised the state legislature on Wednesday, Sept. 11 for passing a bill he co-authored to ban the sale of guns and ammunition at gun shows held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Gloria and Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner-Horvath, D-Encinitas, introduced AB 893 in February. The measure would bar the state's 22nd District Agricultural District, which oversees operations at the fairgrounds, from authorizing the sale of guns and ammunition on fairgrounds property. The 22nd DAA's Board of Di... Full story
WASHINGTON — The federal government will act to ban thousands of flavors used in e-cigarettes, President Donald Trump said Wednesday, responding to a recent surge in underage vaping that has alarmed parents, politicians and health authorities nationwide. The surprise White House announcement could remake the multibillion-dollar vaping industry, which has been driven by sales of flavored nicotine formulas such as "grape slushie" and "strawberry cotton candy." The Food and Drug Administration will develop guidelines to r... Full story
FALLBROOK - For decades, students at Fallbrook Union High School have spent a significant amount of time after school each fall working on class floats that would be paraded around the track, put on display and judged against floats made by the other classes. As of Wednesday, Sept. 11, the tradition was in jeopardy of being modified or discontinued altogether, according to FUHS principal Dr. Narciso Iglesias. Fallbrook's homecoming game is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 4. "At... Full story
"Amadeus" is a visual delight. From the elegant costumes to the lavish set, it appears enough was not a consideration for Emperor Joseph II of Austria. Indicative of the Viennese Court for the 10 years between 1781 and 1791, Emperor Joseph was omnipotent in all things. Even so, he could be influenced by those he trusted like Antonio Salieri, the Royal Kapellmeister (music master). On the day of his death, Salieri (Tony Amendola) recalls his every misdeed even his argument... Full story
NEW YORK — People who were too young on 9/11 to even remember their lost loved ones, and others for whom the grief is still raw, paid tribute with wreath-layings and the solemn roll call of the dead Wednesday as America marked the 18th anniversary of the worst terror attack on U.S. soil. "Eighteen years. We will not forget. We cannot forget," Bud Salter, who lost his sister, Catherine, said at ground zero. President Donald Trump laid a wreath at the Pentagon, telling victims' relatives: "This is your anniversary of p... Full story

Attorney Paul Farrell said in a text message Wednesday that they have agreed to a deal that has been on the table for several weeks. Sources with direct knowledge of the talks say that Stamford, Connecticut-based Purdue will pay up to $12 billion over time and that the Sackler family, which owns the company, will give up control.

OKLAHOMA CITY — T. Boone Pickens, a brash and quotable oil tycoon who grew even wealthier through corporate takeover attempts, died Wednesday. He was 91. Pickens was surrounded by friends and family when he died of natural causes under hospice care at his Dallas home, spokesman Jay Rosser said. Pickens suffered a series of strokes in 2017 and was hospitalized that July after what he called a "Texas-sized fall." An only child who grew up in a small railroad town in Oklahoma, Pickens followed his father into the oil and gas b... Full story
LOS ANGELES — Dennis Rodman keeps finding new ways to surprise. The 58-year-old former NBA star built his own personal brand of flamboyant individualism well before social media made every pro athlete accessible to fans, and outside the traditional endorsements-and-corporate partnership framework. At the peak of his fame in the 1990s, Rodman pulled the spotlight toward himself by swapping out hair colors, adding tattoos and piercings, dressing in drag, and dating Madonna. "I branded Dennis Rodman being different," he says. "... Full story

John Hinckley Jr., 64, lives in Virginia and was not present at the hearing. A prosecutor said allowing Hinckley to relocate to California for a music industry job would give the government "great pause." Hinckley spent decades living at a psychiatric hospital in...

WASHINGTON - A draft plan from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi leaked Tuesday would overhaul how Medicare pays for prescription drugs, by negotiating prices for costly medications, curbing annual price hikes, and limiting what seniors pay out of their own pockets. With President Donald Trump highly interested in a deal on prescription drugs, the ambitious plan appeared to be Pelosi laying down a marker that represents what House Democrats would want to see happen. Pelosi's office... Full story
SACRAMENTO (AP) — California would join a growing number of states allowing candidates for political office to use campaign funds to pay for child care under a bill that has cleared the state Senate. The bill approved Tuesday by the state Senate would only cover child care expenses incurred directly because the parent or guardian is running for office. The state Assembly still must approve the bill before it goes to Gov. Gavin Newsom for his signature. The bill defines child care expenses as professional day care, b... Full story
VENTURA, Calif. (AP) — A Simi Valley man has been charged with shooting and killing a protected mountain lion that roamed the mountains northwest of Los Angeles. The Ventura County district attorney's office says Tuesday that Alfredo Gonzalez was charged with shooting the male cougar, known as P-38 and vandalizing its tracking collar.

NASSAU, Bahamas — Desperation mounted in the Bahamas on Tuesday as hurricane survivors arriving in the capital by boat and plane were turned away from overflowing shelters.
