ATLANTA (AP) — Washington is bringing more than its high-powered passing attack to Saturday's Peach Bowl semifinal against Alabama's tough defense . The Huskies have proved they can rely on a running game led by Myles Gaskin to provide balance when defenses focus their efforts on stopping quarterback Jake Browning and star wide receiver John Ross. Despite completing only nine passes, Browning threw for two touchdowns, giving him 42 for the season — the second-highest total in the nation. Alabama... Читать дальше...

With one contest remaining in the 2016 regular season, the Seattle Seahawks still don't know if they will be playing in the opening weekend of the postseason or getting an extra week of rest.

For even longer than that, Bob Rondeau has been describing Washington football games on the radio. On Saturday in Atlanta, No. 1 Alabama faces No. 4 Washington in Peach Bowl semifinal in Atlanta, and they'll both be there as each team tries to advance to the College Football Playoff championship game. Rondeau's been the narrator of a team that has seen the highs of a national championship in 1991 and four Rose Bowl titles, and the indignity of a 0-12 season just eight years ago.

The Seahawks dropped ugly road contests to Tampa Bay and Green Bay -- stay away from bays, I guess --but drubbed Carolina and Los Angeles in the friendly confines of CenturyLink Field. But the home/road theory went awry when Seahawks laid an egg in their regular-season home finale on Christmas Eve, trailing... Читать дальше...

Just under 400,000 American retirees are now living abroad, according to the Social Security Administration. Retirees most often cite the cost of living as the reason for moving elsewhere said Olivia S. Mitchell, director of the Pension Research Council at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.

While your resolve is strongest, set aside cash for emergencies in a traditional savings account. Make your primary goal to save $500 by automating transfers from your checking account.
