Decades after law enforcement raided the ranch where Charles Manson hid following a 1969 killing spree, detectives and scientists are returning to hunt for undiscovered graves
Hey, Stanley! I am asking your advice on behalf of my friend, who works for a very small professional services firm. Even though it is a tiny company, they are expanding rapidly and have recently undergone about 100% growth in number of employees (bringing them to a total of about ten now).
CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- James Davis rushed for 30 yards and C.J. Spiller added 21 as Clemson worked on its running game at a two-hour scrimmage Tuesday that ended preseason camp.
The drive to the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository from the Energy Department's office in Las Vegas takes about two hours. It's a freaky ride, past fast-growing Pahrump, Nevada, now a bedroom community for Las Vegas; past Nellis Air Force base, where unmanned spy drones -- Predators and Raptors -- fly test flights; past the gunnery range and the old atom bomb test site.
Forecasters predicted Friday would be another sweltering day for the Western United States, as heat warnings will remain in effect for some areas after Thursday's record-high temperatures.
1. Hush that mushing: I was reading some of the Iditarod coverage Tuesday morning because, well, it was on SI.com's front page when I came to a realization. There is no sporting event that I could even plausibly enter that I would want to avoid more than the Iditarod. (The "plausibility" clause eliminates things like fighting for the heavyweight championship of the world.) I would much rather, for instance, enter an ultramarathon in Death Valley than the Iditarod, and not just because I have run two marathons and have at least an inkling that I might finish. Basically, I really hate the cold, and what sporting event is colder for longer than mushing 12-16 dogs for 1,150 miles across Alaska for 10-17 days? Consider Tuesday's news item that four-time champ Doug Swingley has withdrawn from this year's race after a fall left him with potentially broken ribs and a possibly dislocated thumb. Read further down the story and you'll note that Swingley scratched from the 2004 race because he suffered frostbite on h
