Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Last year the Dane experienced a lot of success. They won the America East Conference championship last November after beating Stanford 2-1.

"You know injuries can be a part of that you never know how behaviors are, but I think so far we have such a nice group, and they're very supportive of one another, and if we keep growing one day at a time in practice, and have that patience and realize it's a proc...

Ask Amy: This man deserves to be snubbed, but his wife is asking for my help

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:45:10 GMT

Dear Amy: My husband has gone skiing with seven of his male peers for 17 years.One of these friends, “Patrick,” is an alcoholic whose out-of-control behavior during previous ski trips has been difficult for them to tolerate.Last year, Patrick was so offensive and unruly during a ski trip that it was the last straw, so the guys will not be inviting him to join them again.My husband has blocked him on his phone.Although all agreed that this shunning was justified, the loss of this friend caused my husband great emotional pain.I am from a family who has suffered from generations of alcoholism. I have a low tolerance for the pain caused by that sad addiction. As a result, the shunning is not a problem for me.However, I am friends with Patrick’s wife, who knows he has been banned from the ski group for his frightening behaviors.She is choosing to continue to support him and his painful, risky lifestyle, trusting that he will recover.Although none of us share her trust in him, she is aski...

Kenyan runner Faith Kipyegon is focused on defending her 1,500 world title in a record-breaking year

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:45:10 GMT

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — The first world record, Faith Kipyegon pointed at her time in disbelief. The second, she covered her mouth in astonishment. The third, just a quick point toward the clock and a look of pure satisfaction.No doubt, the decorated Kenyan runner has had plenty of practice perfecting her record-breaking reactions this year.Over a 50-day stretch, the 29-year-old Kipyegon — who began her international career running barefoot — made toppling records look like a walk in the park as she erased top marks in the 1,500 meters (3 minutes, 49.11 seconds on June 2), 5,000 (14:05.20 on June 9), and the mile (4:07.64 on July 21).She’s altering her focus this week at the world championships, focusing more on medals (but never discount records falling with her in a race). The two-time Olympic champion will defend her 1,500 world title in Budapest, while also incorporating another event, the 5,000, into her repertoire. If all goes well, it could be a double she attempts at next y...

AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) -- A Montana baby is alive thanks to a rare lifesaving surgery that was performed at Children's Hospital Colorado last year.One phone call from a Children’s Hospital Colorado physician changed Rachel and Sean Haderlie’s plans from funeral arrangements to recovery. DPS cancels Taste of the South Festival due to lack of security On Feb. 2, 2022, Rachel Haderlie went in for her 32-week scan. Something wasn’t right, and their joy quickly turned to fear. This was a high-risk pregnancy, so they chose Children’s Hospital Colorado and met with a fetal cardiologist who discovered that her baby had a very complex heart defect and that it could be deadly.At 36 weeks, Rachel went into labor in Bozeman, Montana, and had their baby, Drew, via emergency C-section. The Haderlies knew it was likely that their time with baby Drew would be short. "We started making funeral plans and we were coordinating our other son up there to meet his brother, and we had family members who we...

Biden to visit fire-ravaged Maui on Monday as search efforts continue

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:45:10 GMT

(CNN) — President Joe Biden will journey Monday to fire-ravaged Maui to witness up close the devastation left by an inferno more than a week ago and assess for himself a government response that some residents initially found lacking.Monday’s trip will bring Biden to the scene of the deadliest American wildfire in more than 100 years. His initial response to the Maui wildfires drew criticism earlier this month, mainly from Republicans, who seized upon a lengthy period of public silence from the White House as the death toll rose.With hundreds of people still unaccounted for, the death toll is still expected to rise, as emergency responders and cadaver dogs search through the incinerated wasteland for victims. Biden is planning to name a senior federal emergency official to oversee long-term recovery efforts during his visit.The trip will provide Biden an opportunity to demonstrate in-person compassion for a community shaken by the disaster, and to dispel some of the early backlash a...
