ST. LOUIS — Ryan Hartman had two goals and an assist and the surging Minnesota Wild beat St. Louis 8-5 on Wednesday night in a game in which Blues goalie Jordan Binnington was ejected for throwing a punch.Binnington was whistled for a match penalty with 7:35 left in the second period. After giving up a goal — the Wild’s fifth — to Hartman, Binnington left the crease and went after Hartman, swinging his blocker glove at the forward’s face.Minnesota goalie Marc-Andre Fleury skated the length of the ice to confront the unmasked Binnington, but the two were separated by officials and Binnington was sent off the ice.“I mean, those blockers aren’t soft,” Hartman said. “We don’t have much protection on our face. I’d say so (it was a cheap shot). It’s nothing new from him. He’s been doing stuff like this for a while.”Binnington said he has no grudge against Hartman.“We know the type of player he is. I actually like his game, to be honest,” Binnington said. “I’ve played against him since the...Letters: We all know what fundamental values are, right?

It’s time to thinkIn his column on March 10, Kendall Qualls argues “For a better Minnesota, we need to go back to our fundamental values.” It seems the discussion at hand should be the nature of those fundamental values. It would also seem this is fairly easy to determine, because we all know what those are, right?Not necessarily.Two decades ago, during a presentation to a parish pastoral council, one of the attendees said, “If I didn’t know better, I would say you’re asking us to think.” I responded, “Yes, sir, that is exactly what I am asking you to do,” to which he responded, “Do you know how much easier it was just to follow the rules?” I said, “Yes, sir, I do.”We are no longer at a time when we can blindly follow a leader, trusting that he or she has our best interests in mind. We must take the responsibility to form our responses to the laws being enacted and make decisions that will determine the way forward for our children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren.

For the first time, scientists have created baby mice from two males. This raises the distant possibility of using the same technique for people – although experts caution that very few mouse embryos developed into live mouse pups and no one knows whether it would work for humans.

Still, “It’s a very clever strategy," said Diana Laird, a stem cell and reproductive expert at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not involved in the research. "It’s an important step in both stem cell and reproductive biology.” Scientists described their work in a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. First, they took skin cells from the tails of male mice and transformed them into “induced pluripotent stem cells,” which can develop into many different types of cells or tissues. Then, through a process that involved growing them and treating them with a drug, they converted male mou...James Gunn to direct 'Superman: Legacy,' aiming for 2025

Two months later, though, Cavill was back on social media with the news that he was out. “This news isn’t the easiest, but that’s life,” Cavill wrote. “The changing of the guard is something that happens.

The HSUS investigator attended the weigh-in event that followed the 45-hour killing period, during which roughly 86 participants gunned down at least 405 coyotes. At the weigh-in, participants gathered to compete for $15,000 in prize money and celebrate among piles of dead coyotes, the investigator said.The HSUS investigator revealed that prizes were awarded to teams that killed the most, the heaviest and the smallest coyotes at just 17 pounds.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom will announce plans Thursday to build 1,200 small homes across the state as part of an effort to help house the nation's largest homeless population and to address an issue that has persistently plagued the state during his time in office.The announcement, confirmed by the governor's office, will come in Sacramento on the first stop of Newsom's planned four-city tour, during which major policy announcements are expected on housing, health care and public safety.
