DENVER (AP) — Dozens of slinky, ferocious and rare ferrets are settling in and making babies at their new home in Colorado, one year after they were released at a wildlife refuge outside Denver.

(AP) — The mayor of a Massachusetts city will speak this week with the president of a college that decided to stop flying U.S. flags after students allegedly burned a flag in protest of Donald Trump's presidential election.

[...] a few things wrong, for instance, leading the NFL in both penalties (105) and penalty yards (867). Part of the reason for that is that Del Rio thinks officials are programmed to throw the flags at guys wearing silver and black. “It might take a while for the league and the referees to understand that what you grew up watching and some of the rule-breaking that this franchise was proud of at one point, that’s not how we’re doing things,” Del Rio said. The low point — or high, depending on your perspective ... Читать дальше...

After missing the first 21 games because of a sprained ankle, Eichel had a goal and an assist as Buffalo beat the Senators in Ottawa 5-4 on Tuesday night.

Four years ago, the 22-year-old senior became an internet sensation for placing tiny hats on the ubiquitous rodents that live near Penn State's landmark Old Main building, and coaxing them to hold miniature props. With Penn State reeling from the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal, Krupa decided her fellow students could also use a laugh. Krupa's anthropomorphized Sneezy would become an unofficial mascot — Penn State's very own Rocket J. Squirrel or Chip and Dale — and, over the course of her college career... Читать дальше...

Khalil Mack-of-all-trades does it all for Raiders’ defense “Like Khalil (Mack) says, ‘By any means,’” offensive tackle Donald Penn said. Mack is not only the team’s best defensive player, icing Sunday’s win with a sack and a forced fumble, but the 25-year-old defensive end is also the team’s leader and motto provider.

(AP) — For a half-century after the deadliest submarine disaster in U.S. history, Navy Capt.

Paul Rumery, said he plans to recite passages from Scripture, and the submarine's security force will fire a three-round volley before he lowers the ashes over the side of the submarine and into the North Atlantic.

Republican Senate Majority Leader Arlan Meekhof says the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement System is "unsustainable" and at some point won't be able to finance pension benefits because of a $26.7 billion unfunded liability.
