MATTHEW BROWN Associated Press BILLINGS — Scientists from the U.S. and Denmark are seeking to map out the plumbing system hidden inside the earth’s crust that’s responsible for the famous Old Faithful geyser and other hydrothermal features at Yellowstone National Park. Throughout November the research team will conduct flights over the park using a giant, hoop-shaped electromagnetic system suspended from a helicopter.

The campaign is done. The votes are counted. And America is waking up from one of the strangest, angriest and most divisive presidential campaigns in recent memory. So I’ll be the first to say it: Congratulations, President-elect Trump. For the good of the nation, I hope you succeed. We don’t agree on much. OK, we don’t agree on anything at all. But that’s politics. It’s a competition of ideas. And Tuesday night, a majority of Americans decided they liked yours better. The blue-collar billionaire shtick worked — even with t...
I did a terrible thing. A generally cheerful friend was in obvious pain. Be it emotional, physical, grief, imaginary — doesn’t matter. Pain is pain. Pain twists one’s guts and simply must be passed through. I hugged my friend, opened my mouth and out rolled a blah, blah, blah, blah, useless platitude. I cringed while speaking the words. But once out, there was no cramming the words back where they originated. I hate myself for that. I know better. When I’m hurting I want someone, anyone, to fold me into their arms. I want a h...
As the national political melodrama drew near its end, a sometime email correspondent in Texas worried about my safety. An uxorious older gentleman with a love of horses and a weakness for conspiracy theories, he was always puzzled and often angered by my apostasy. “Being down there in Arkansas,” he warned, “you may not like the way Trump’s supporters respond if they’ve been reading your columns.” I answered that while I’ve been making my views clear for decades, “I’ve never even had anybody speak to me rudely about it.” The...

MATTHEW BROWN Associated Press BILLINGS (AP) — U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke of Montana captured a second term Tuesday, easily defeating Democratic challenger Denise Juneau with a message that emphasized his military experience and the need for vigilance against terrorists entering the U.S. as refugees. The victory by the Whitefish Republican and former U.S. Navy SEAL maintains his party’s two-decade lock on the state’s sole House seat. Zinke had previously expressed interest in serving in the cabinet of a Donald Trump admin...

GREAT FALLS(AP) — State officials say larvae from invasive aquatic mussels have been detected in Montana waters for the first time. Tiber Reservoir in north-central Montana tested positive for the larvae of aquatic mussels. Tests from Canyon Ferry Reservoir near Helena show “suspect” but inconclusive results for mussel larvae. Quagga and zebra mussels are not known to be established in Montana and can have negative impacts on fish, boats and water infrastructure. Eileen Ryce with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks says there...

The Montana State University-Northern Skylights have been dominant in four wins to start the 2016-17 season. But, the Skylights are about to be tested in ways they haven’t been thus far. Northern starts a four-game, NAIA road swing this weekend, with two games this weekend in Kirkland, Washington. Both games will be against NAIA competition from the tough Cascade Conference, as the Skylights take on Evergreen State Friday and Northwest University Saturday. And, despite a s...
The Montana Tech Orediggers are officially Frontier Conference champions. But Tech is far from done. Tech, after beating College of Idaho last Saturday, has a huge road showdown with Southern Oregon this Saturday, and a win would clinch the league championship outright. That’s something that will certainly motivate the Diggers this weekend, even though they’ve already laid claim to the Frontier’s automatic bid into the postseason. And the postseason is now what hangs in the b...
One of the most important goals Montana State University-Northern head volleyball coach Bill Huebsch set for his team this season was also a simple one. Huebsch simply wanted to see his team get better each week, so that, when the Frontier Conference tournament rolled around, the Skylights were playing their best. Mission accomplished. Northern captured key wins down the stretch of the season, twice beating Lewis-Clark State, as well as a pivotal road win at UGF. The...
If the Montana State University-Northern Lights are going to be a dominant NAIA wrestling team this season, after Wednesday night, they now know, they have some work to do. Northern came into its annual rivalry dual with the UGF Argos Wednesday night ranked No. 4 in the country, and even without key grapplers in the lineup, the Lights were prohibitive favorites inside the friendly confines of the Armory Gymnasium. None of that however, mattered to the un-ranked Argos, as UGF...
