FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (AP) — A battle is brewing at a Virginia apartment complex over a semi-retired pastor's bible studies. The Free Lance-Star in Fredericksburg reported Friday that the complex's owner has threated to evict Kenneth Hauge if he continues hosting the Bible studies.

So, yes, they did explore the possibility of trading for All-Pro edge rusher Khalil Mack before the Raiders dealt him to the Bears today. In his first four seasons, Mack, 27, the No. 5 pick in 2014, has 40.5 career sacks and has been voted to three Pro Bowls. “We’d have been foolish not to,” Lynch said. “The guy is a spectacular player.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Before Matthew Miller harvests marijuana this fall from his fields in southern Oregon, he’ll have to notify the state for the first time ever — a process that could bring inspectors to make sure none of his pot is being illegally diverted.

It’s part of a raft of... Читать дальше...
