SEATTLE (AP) — Maybe it's time for Washington's opponents to consider avoiding Dante Pettis. Rutgers made the mistake of kicking to him in the season opener. Montana did the same a week later. Both times, the star wide receiver and dynamic punt returner for No. 6 Washington found his way into the end zone. "Coming into this year I didn't think I was going to get that many return opportunities," Pettis said. "Then after last game I was like 'I'm probably not going to get anymore.' Now after this game I'll probably be like... Читать дальше...

For the first time, the "Poetry in Motion" program will reach bus riders across an entire state on Tuesday, when the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority begins running the first lines from Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself" on digital display panels inside buses.

ATLANTA (AP) — Worried relatives, generous volunteers, frantic neighbors, even medical providers are turning to social media now that Hurricane Irma wiped out electricity and cell service to communities across Florida, cutting off most contact with remote islands in the Keys. "We all sort of scattered around the country when we evacuated, so we're trying to stay in touch, by phone, by Facebook, however we can," said Suzanne Trottier, who left her Key West, Florida home for Virginia almost a week ago as the hurricane approached.

DETROIT (AP) — The family of a man who died when his Tesla sedan struck a tractor-trailer says it doesn't blame the car or its partially self-driving Autopilot system for his death. Joshua Brown's family released the statement Monday, the day before the National Transportation Safety Board is scheduled to decide the cause of the crash. Brown, 40, died May 7, 2016, in Williston, Florida, after a tractor-trailer turned in front of him. He was using Autopilot, which should brake automatically if it senses an impending collision.

NEW YORK (AP) — Equifax has been scrambling to explain itself since disclosing last week that it exposed vital data about 143 million Americans — effectively most of the U.S. adult population. It's come under fire from members of Congress, state attorneys general, and people who are getting conflicting answers about whether their information was stolen. The company keeps track of the detailed financial affairs of all Americans in order to gauge how much of a risk they are for borrowing money. That means it and its competitors... Читать дальше...

ENFIELD, Conn. (AP) — At 3:30 in the afternoon, with the sun shining high in a bright blue late summer sky and ducks gliding placidly across Freshwater Pond in the heart of Thompsonville, Brett Johnson gets to work in his 18-by-8½-foot portable office — his food truck. Soundtracked by the steady hum of a generator, Johnson fills metal containers with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese before turning to the stove, where he heats up flatbreads with a coating of olive oil and roasted garlic.

Of all the dubious decisions in the opening week of the 2017 season, none topped the insensitive tweet from the league's official NFL Mexico account with three smiley emojis that likened the Kansas City Chiefs' big victory over the New England Patriots to the deadly earthquake that shook Mexico and took 90 lives. That was worse than the Atlanta Braves playing "Rock You Like A Hurricane" between innings of their baseball game against the Miami Marlins on Thursday night while Hurricane Irma was bearing down on Florida.

Tyler Lockett has a message for Seahawks fan: Fly High. That's the title of the receiver's newest spoken-word piece, which he released on his Youtube channel Friday afternoon ahead of his return to the field for Seattle season opener against Green Bay on Sunday.

Defenses are not showing the Seahawks much respect In previous years, opponents would spend hours worrying about how to deal with Marshawn Lynch’s punishing running style. Russell Wilson’s mobility and improvisational skills were the perfect compliment. Lynch set the tone. Without Lynch, teams are not as concerned. Where they once had to sell out to […]

DETROIT (AP) — New York, California and three other states are suing the Trump administration, saying it must put in place higher penalties for automakers that violate federal fuel economy standards. The U.S. Department of Transportation more than doubled civil penalties for fuel economy violations last year after Congress ordered agencies to adjust their fines for inflation. The new rule, which was set to take effect in July, would require automakers to pay $14 for every tenth of a mile per gallon... Читать дальше...

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Archaeologists in southern Greece have discovered an undisturbed tomb the size of a small house that belonged to a Bronze Age nobleman with a fondness for jewelry. Greece's Culture Ministry says the 3,350-year-old chamber near Orchomenos, an important center of the Mycenaean era, belonged to a man who was 40 to 50 years old when he died. The ministry said in a statement Monday that the 42-square-meter (452-square-foot) grave was only used once. That's a boon for archaeologists seeking to interpret its contents. Читать дальше...

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The Polish government has abandoned a plan to illustrate Polish passports with images of landmarks that are today within the borders of Ukraine and Lithuania, the interior minister said Monday.

The disputed images were of a Polish military cemetery in Lviv, Ukraine, and the Gate of Dawn in Vilnius, Lithuania. Poland's Interior Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said... Читать дальше...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The big screen adaptation of Stephen King's "It" has closed out its opening weekend at the box office with a higher than expected $123.1 million in earnings, according to Warner Bros. on Monday.

While the bump didn't change any of the records set, "It" still more than doubled records for... Читать дальше...

Big airports in Florida remain closed, and flight cancellations are spreading north along the track of Tropical Storm Irma. American Airlines said it won't resume flights in Miami until at least Tuesday, revising its plans to restart late Monday. An airline spokesman says the timetable depends on approval by federal aviation officials and the ability of security screeners and airport vendors to return to work. More than 3,800 U.S. flights scheduled for Monday were canceled by late morning — and more than 9,000 since Saturday ... Читать дальше...
