N.Y. (WETM) -- New York State just banned the use of corporal punishment in private schools and is now one of just a few states to outlaw the practice in all schools.

How extreme weather in the U.S. may have affected the pumpkins you picked this year for Halloween

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:56:45 GMT

By MELINA WALLING and BRITTANY PETERSON (Associated Press)HUDSON — Alan Mazzotti can see the Rocky Mountains about 30 miles west of his pumpkin patch in northeast Colorado on a clear day. He could tell the snow was abundant last winter, and verified it up close when he floated through fresh powder alongside his wife and three sons at the popular Winter Park Resort.But one season of above-average snowfall wasn’t enough to refill the dwindling reservoir he relies on to irrigate his pumpkins. He received news this spring that his water delivery would be about half of what it was from the previous season, so he planted just half of his typical pumpkin crop. Then heavy rains in May and June brought plenty of water and turned fields into a muddy mess, preventing any additional planting many farmers might have wanted to do.“By time it started raining and the rain started to affect our reservoir supplies and everything else, it was just too late for this year,” Mazzotti said.For some pumpki...

STANFORD – Michael Penix Jr. is on pace to be a Heisman Trophy finalist and Washington is in the mix for a College Football Playoff berth. But with three minutes left in Saturday night’s game at Stanford, Ashton Daniels had matched Penix’s output and the Cardinal had the Huskies on the ropes.The Cardinal ultimately couldn’t complete a trick play that would have set up a go-ahead field goal. In the end, the Cardinal lost 42-33, but the performance against a top-five team showcased what Stanford is capable of and provided hope for future seasons.“Even though we lost the game, which is unfortunate, there are a lot of positives we can grow and learn from,” fifth-year senior cornerback Zahran Manley said. “That’s really what we’re trying to do. Just set the foundation for this team for the years to come with the new regime that Coach Taylor is setting forth.”Penix completed 21 of 38 passes (55% for 369 yards and four TDs, with one interception.
