Special teams win football games. Whether it's the kicking game, a big special teams tackle or a punt return for a score that sparks a squad, there's no doubt, special team's play is huge in college football. In 2012, it will be huge to the Montana State University-Northern Lights, who open the season Friday night against the Carroll College Fighting Saints in Havre. At key special team's positions, the Lights will be very skilled this season, but one phase will be brand new....

ST. LOUIS — Rep. Todd Akin vowed to fight on in his embattled Senate campaign, but a significant deadline loomed Tuesday that was bound to intensify pressure on the Missouri congressman to abandon the race over his comments that women's bodies can prevent pregnancies in cases of "legitimate rape."

But ominous signs were mounting a...

It's a new era in Frontier Conference football. Two new teams, a new look to the schedule and new rivalries. But will it also be the same-old-same-old this season? That's always the biggest question entering a new year in Frontier football. Can anybody unseat Carroll College, which has won or shared 12 straight Frontier championships. In 2011, Eastern Oregon became just the second Frontier team to even beat Carroll in a conference game since 2006, but the Saints rebounded and...

Everybody has had this experience. You fill the washer with soap and water and stuff in a load of dirty clothes. The washer chugs, agitates and spins, rinses and spins again, finishes the load of wash. You pull the clean damp clothing from the washer, give each article a brisk shake and throw them one by one into the dryer. You turn on the dryer and go sit with a cup of coffee while it tosses the clothing around through the heated air like bingo balls in a cage. When the dryer...

Technology is changing the way the world thinks, and the change is nowhere as dramatic as it is in the world of education. Havre High students are tech savvy, and...
