DENVER (AP) — An oil tank explosion in northern Colorado killed a worker and burned three others, shooting up flames just miles away from an unrelated gas blast last month and prompting fresh questions about safety in one of Colorado's largest industries — oil and gas extraction.

Alonso, who leads the majors with nine homers this month, said that he will do defensive work and try to throw before Friday night’s game, but he will not take regular batting practice.

With starters Kendall Graveman and Jesse Hahn both likely to land on the DL in the next day... Читать дальше...

BEIRUT — A fresh wave of air strikes in eastern Syria killed at least 35 civilians including women and children, state media and a monitoring group reported Friday, as the U.N. human rights chief said civilians are increasingly paying the price of escalating attacks against the Islamic State group in the country.
