I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.

UCLA's windfall for moving to the Big Ten Conference during the next academic year just got a little bit smaller, as a University of California board of regents panel approved a plan where Cal will be paid $10 million a year from its athletic rival for at least the next three years. Both schools are members of California's ten-school UC system, with Cal objecting to UCLA's move to the Big Ten, saying it would be hurt financially through the dissolution of the Pac-12 Conference. The $10 million payments, which will run through at least the 2026-27 school year, will help...

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Pittsburgh, PA

Pittsburgh Steelers standout defensive lineman Cameron Heyward is not at voluntary workouts and is planning to skip organized team activities during the offseason as he eyes a contract extension, ESPN reported Wednesday. Heyward, entering the final year of his current contract (four years, $65.6 million), is a three-time All-Pro and the 2023 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year. He has played in 194 career games (159 starts) across 13 seasons with Pittsburgh, recording 647 tackles and 80.5 sacks. Heyward, who turned 35 on May 6, played only 11 games last season because of a Week 1 groin injury but is "healthy again," according to the report. Heyward finished with 33 tackles and two sacks during the 2023 campaign. The No. 31 overall selection by the Steelers in the 2011 draft, Heyward has been named to six Pro Bowls. Pittsburgh's season ended with a wild-card-round loss to the Buffalo Bills. At that time, Heyward revealed his plan to continue playing. "I've just got to get healthy first," he told reporters in January. "We talk about coming back from injury, I was told at the time it was a 12-week process, and we came back in six weeks." --Field Level Media

Twenty-two years ago, Robert Ray Courtney (Inmate Register #14636-045) was convicted of diluting chemotherapy drugs for more than 4,000 patients. It's been recently reported he will be released from prison this summer to a halfway house. Victims and families of victims are most likely disappointed and furious and understandably so.

As a lifelong Wyoming hunter, I, like so many others I’ve spoken to since, was totally disgusted when I first read the news stories and saw the images of the torture and killing of a young wolf in Daniel, Wyoming. I was overwhelmed with outrage over the disturbing way this seriously injured animal was paraded around. Was there nothing we could do to stop this kind of torturous cruelty?

When homes are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it usually means there will be an intended purpose to keep the structure alive whether it’s through historic restoration, repurposing, or general maintenance. Sometimes, too, these places get demolished.

Green Bay, WI

Wisconsin-Green Bay plans to wade into new territory when it comes to college coaches and hot takes. According to several reports Tuesday, Green Bay has hired Fox Sports talk show host Doug Gottlieb as head coach and will allow him to remain in the media. Gottlieb, 48, was born in Wisconsin while his father was head coach at the University of Milwaukee, the team that ended Green Bay's season in the Horizon League tournament in March. Gottlieb was a finalist for the vacancy when Green Bay instead handed its coaching position to Sundance Wicks. But Wicks left to rejoin Wyoming...

I recently had someone ask me if it’s true that residents of Fusion Studios, where I live, rent out their rooms for cash. I asked around the building about this, giving informants the safety of confidentiality. Only one said they had heard of someone renting out their room for the night, but several people said rooms get rented out by the hour.
