BOSTON (AP) — A densely populated swath of the Northeast was preparing for winter's harshest thump yet, a fast-moving storm that could bring more than a foot of snow, strong winds and coastal flooding.

He couldn’t produce like he did in junior ranks or the minors, was traded and hit bottom when the Boston Bruins decided not to extend a qualifying offer

Some economists have expressed concerns that a mere 140-character post from Twitter-happy President Donald Trump can impact a publicly traded company’s stock price. Maybe so, but Nordstrom proved immune to that today when its share price went up after our new Commander-in-Chief complained about the store’s decision to stop selling his daughter Ivanka’s clothing and accessory line.

[...] while that split is unusual, China has become an increasingly important source of theatrical revenue for the mini-major studio, as CEO Jon Feltheimer explained on a Wednesday conference call after Lionsgate reported third-quarter earnings. China’s box office flatlined last year after several years of double-digit growth, as a relatively soft local slate combined with reduced online ticket subsidies depressed demand.

Yep, you heard him correctly… when Big Foster referred to the late Asa Farrell as “my boy,” he meant it literally. Asa was Big Foster’s son, which he revealed in a very out-of-the-blue way upon learning of Asa’s death in Tuesday’s episode of Outsiders. David Morse, the man behind Big Foster, talks to Yahoo TV about the big surprise — which actually isn’t such a shock when you think about the animosity between the two characters — and another one that is a bit more surprising: Big Foster was supposed to die himself ...

President Trump is far from the only politician to embrace Twitter, but now Rep. Jackie Speier has embraced this hashtag for a weekly review of some of the president’s “tumultuous and trivial antics.” The Hillsborough Democrat, right, pointed to such things as Trump’s reference to a “so-called judge,” him showing “no humility” at a prayer breakfast and how the president “revealed his ignorance” about African American statesman Frederick Douglass.
