JACKSON (AP) — Environmental groups are objecting to how a federal agency has developed a new management plan for handling conflicts between wolves and livestock producers in Wyoming. Wildlife Services, an agency with the U.S. Agriculture Department’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, completed an environmental planning document last fall that favored its current lethal and nonlethal wolf conflict management program. The Greater Yellowstone Coalition contends the public and other federal land managers such as the Bridger-Teton Nat...

I read a number of small news stories showing what a decent guy he is, when time and again he demonstrated real kindness to people in distress. Sports Ill...
WASHINGTON (AP) — Better cut down on sugar, especially those 16-ounce drinks, and limit your salt. But you might not need to worry quite as much about eggs. The Obama administration’s latest dietary guidelines, released Thursday, seek to help Americans reduce their likelihood of disease and obesity through a more healthful diet.

Released every five years, the guide...
