Turner wanted one last dive into the water before heading to shore. Grant now wears his tungsten wedding ring on a chain around his neck. On the day of the accident, the couple had been jumping off the boat with friends for hours.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Farmer Kevin Hobbs realized that inducing consumers to drive out to his property near Turner, Oregon, just to buy eggs would be a tough sell.

Though growers don't need a license to sell eggs directly from a farm stand or at a farmers' market, many want to be able to supply grocery stores and restaurants, said Carl Buchholz, who raises eggs near Mount Angel. Licensed handlers can sell eggs produced by other farmers as long as the product undergoes the same grading, sanitation and packaging procedures, said Sarah Schwab, operations and automations specialist with ODA's food safety program. [...] eggs must be free of dirt, cracks and similar defects... Читать дальше...

It was April and Jess Trengove was finally told the pain in her foot wasn't just a niggle. She had to get off her feet and stop running. For a marathon runner months out from the Olympics it was not what she wanted to hear.

Backups shine in Raiders’ preseason opener; Edwards hurt The worst thing imaginable reared its ugly head Friday night in the Raiders’ preseason opener at University of Phoenix Stadium. Edwards, who had just come back from a scary neck injury last season, left the locker room after the game on crutches. The Raiders’ defense — and their first-team offense — didn’t look so great, but Oakland was bailed out, as it is in most preseason games, by backup quarterback Matt McGloin. McGloin threw two touchdown passes in relief of starter Derek Carr... Читать дальше...

There’s no question that California leads this country’s wine production — certainly in quantity and, this newspaper would argue, also in quality. [...] although California wine production has grown more than 60 percent in the past 20 years, the United States as a whole has grown even more dramatically, producing 75 percent more wine in 2015 than in 1995.
