PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Gov. Dennis Daugaard has appointed Russell Olson of Madison to the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Commission. Daugaard says Olson is an avid outdoorsman who is committed to conservation, and he appreciates Olson's willingness to serve in the important role.

(AP) — Local veterinarian Candice Carden spent the first two weeks of December at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, treating Kr Montana Shake Em and Rusty, two of her clients' horses. Acupuncture — a traditional Chinese practice — consists of sticking fine needles into the skin in various strategic places around the body to release pain or provide other treatment. Most often, Carden uses acupuncture to ease pain, but she also tries it when an animal has nerve damage and cannot use a muscle properly. Читать дальше...

On a recent Wednesday, Yazzie said he wants to see testing results from federal and tribal entities before he decides to again irrigate his farm with San Juan River water. Since the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has accepted responsibility for the spill, he said, the agency should be supplying a clean water source and start testing the soil on farms. The toxic spill received nationwide attention and, as The Daily Times reported on Sept. 9, environmental activist and consumer advocate Erin... Читать дальше...

[...] it wasn't until the Jackson Hole Ski Corporation debuted a new ski area in the Tetons in 1965 that the valley became a reliable draw to skiers elsewhere in the country and world. The steady development of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort has since fostered a "ski town" community and culture that's now a centerpiece of the valley's identity. Longtime locals recall that the transition from a dusty Yellowstone gateway with a one-season economy to a ski destination was far from seamless. By Williams' account... Читать дальше...

Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 gained 0.3 percent to finish at 19,037.31, but trading was muted on the last trading day of the year ahead of the New Year's holiday. Technology and health care companies led a broad rally in U.S. stocks on Tuesday. The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index increased from the previous month, reflecting positive views on the economy and job market. Separately, a key gauge of home values indicated that U.S. home prices climbed 5.5 percent in October from a year earlier. Читать дальше...

Hebron has been a flashpoint in a three-month wave of Palestinian shooting, stabbing and car attacks on Israelis. Israel blames the ongoing violence on Palestinian incitement; Palestinians say it stems from despair at achieving independence.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea's top official in charge of relations with South Korea has died in a traffic accident, the country's state media announced Wednesday, potentially dimming the prospect for ties between the rival countries. While North Korea's road conditions are poor, the lack of detail helped feed speculation in South Korean media that Kim's death was suspicious, though South Korean officials declined to comment. The two Koreas subsequently resumed their first reunions of families separated by war since early 2014... Читать дальше...

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Federal officials were monitoring 19 vulnerable levees on the rising Mississippi River and its tributaries, warning that hundreds of homes in Illinois and Missouri could be threatened by a rare winter flood that already forced the partial closure of interstate highways and widespread evacuations. Record flooding was projected in some Mississippi River towns after several days of torrential rain that also caused sewage to flow unfiltered into waterways. Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon activated...

[...] for the more than 700 of the most notorious killers warehoused alone in cells in San Quentin State Prison, death likely won’t come at the end of a needle in the facility’s lethal-injection chamber. For the first time since the death penalty was put on pause in the state, reporters on Tuesday got an in-depth look at the cold concrete corridors, locked cells and shackled inmates on California’s ever-growing Death Row. Clark, an aging man with long, gray hair and an eye patch, looked little like his much-younger self ... Читать дальше...

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iranian naval vessels conducted rocket tests last week near U.S. warships and commercial traffic passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the American military said Wednesday, causing new tension between the two nations after a landmark nuclear deal. Cmdr. Kyle Raines, a U.S. Central Command spokesman, said in a statement that Iranian Revolutionary Guard naval vessels fired "several unguided rockets" about 1,370 meters (1,500 yards) from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier... Читать дальше...

Clouds with possibly some light snow or freezing rain are expected on Wednesday, said Eric Schwibs, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine. In snow-loving Vermont, Chassidy Byrd, the assistant manager at a gas station and convenience store in Plainfield, said the storm returned the state to a sense of normal. Meteorologists say the storm that chilled the Northeast is linked to the same system that produced deadly tornadoes in the Midwest beginning Saturday, then brought heavy snow... Читать дальше...

Mike Gesell scored a career-high 25 points and Iowa cruised past top-ranked Michigan State 83-70 on Tuesday night, handing the visiting Spartans their first loss of the season. The Hawkeyes snapped a nine-game losing streak against Michigan State. Eron Harris scored 21 points to lead the Spartans, who were playing their second game without Denzel Valentine — their leader in scoring, rebounds and assists — and their first since head coach Tom Izzo’s father, Carl, died Monday. The Spartans trailed... Читать дальше...

Existing hotlines already connect the agencies' deputy directors as well as the semi-official organizations that have negotiated a series of agreements in the absence of formal ties.

Despite missing two quarterbacks, an award-winning receiver and a 1,000-yard running back, the Bears’ top-ranked scoring offense stayed creative, pounding out 645 yards rushing — the most ever in a bowl game — and 756 total yards. The biggest question heading into Tuesday’s game was how Baylor’s offense would adapt with quarterbacks Seth Russell (neck injury) and Jarrett Stidham (broken ankle), Biletnikoff Award winner Corey Coleman (hernia surgery), and running back Shock Linwood (broken foot) all sidelined.

Doan’s hat trick can’t lift Coyotes past Kane, Blackhawks Patrick Kane scored a goal, assisted on two others and raised his NHL-leading point total to 53 in helping the Chicago Blackhawks to a 7-5 win over the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday night. Andrew Desjardins scored twice for the visiting Blackhawks, who overcame Shane Doan’s hat trick and set a season high for goals in a game. Artem Anisimov scored his 13th of the season, Brent Seabrook had two assists and Duncan Keith added a goal and an assist for Chicago. Читать дальше...

DALLAS — The Warriors arrived here with only eight players healthy enough to practice Tuesday night, a day before starting a back-to-back set against the Mavericks and Rockets. The biggest news is about Stephen Curry, who added a lower left leg injury to his already sore right calf during Monday’s win over the Kings. “There’s a chance that he won’t play in one or both games, but that’s probably going to be a game-time decision — or at least determined by how he’s feeling” Wednesday, interim head coach Luke Walton said.

ARIES. (March 20 - April 19): People who talk a good game are covering for a less than winning hand. Call them on it because they're bluffing.

(AP) — In this rural town tucked into a valley at the base of Vermont's tallest mountain, the 130-year-old Underhill Country store is more than a place to pick up staples. It's the fact that people come here and you trust that you're going to find some good company and you're going to find some really friendly faces when you walk in, said Kyle Clark, whose children ride their bikes to the store for a sandwich or ice cream. Inside, warm yellow walls and a blue-and-cream checkered floor greet customers... Читать дальше...

[...] on Tuesday, after hearing wide receiver Bryce Treggs field a question about the targeting rule, Cal’s head coach interjected. Losing the first-team all-conference selection was a major blow for the Falcons, who then surrendered numerous big pass plays. Air Force’s run-oriented offense couldn’t keep pace with Cal in a 55-36 loss in the Armed Forces Bowl. Air Force head coach Troy Calhoun, a former member of the rules committee, explained that the spirit of the targeting rule is to punish blatant head shots. Читать дальше...
