Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:06:58 GMT

A weekly assessment of  developments across the Pac-12 …1. Penix meets PeacockThere was one surprise Wednesday from the release of kickoff times for the Pac-12’s early-season games, and it didn’t come directly from the conference.Washington’s trip to Michigan State on Sept. 16, a game controlled by the Big Ten and its media partners, will be broadcast exclusively on Peacock, the streaming platform owned by NBCUniversal.Perhaps the premier non-conference games of Week Three won’t be on FOX’s Big Noon window or ABC’s primetime slot.It won’t be on broadcast or cable television.Instead, a preseason top-10 team (UW) with a Heisman Trophy candidate (quarterback Michael Penix) will face an upper-level Big Ten program on a streaming service with just 20 million subscribers (approximately).Most UW fans will need to find the remote control and break out the credit card in order to watch the 2 p.m. kickoff.Meanwhile, two lesser Big Ten games rece...

Rats chew through Winthrop woman’s car, destroy it

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:06:58 GMT

WINTHROP, Massachusetts (WBZ) — A Winthrop woman is out a set of wheels after rats devoured the wiring in her car. Mechanics told her the wires are made with a common food product.Sharonle Bolger knew something was wrong when the lights on her dashboard went out. She took her Hyundai Santa Fe to the dealership to be looked at. That’s when they discovered the rat problem. She says the mechanics originally told her the wires were made with rice, however car companies actually insulate the wires in newer vehicles with soy.“I didn’t know that every time I was turning my car on, I am actually cooking rice for them, and cooking them dinner,” laughs Bolger, “I like fried rice, but not in my car.”The mechanics told her rats are attracted to the soy; however, AAA has spoken with manufacturers like Honda and Ford. Reps for AAA say the companies told them the soy used in the insulation or foam is not food grade material, and it shouldn’t attract rats.“Years ago, the wiring, and insulation of w...

Rain brings much-needed relief to firefighters battling Nova Scotia wildfires

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:06:58 GMT

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — Officials in Canada’s Atlantic Coast province of Nova Scotia said Saturday a wildfire that forced thousands of residents from their homes over the past week is now largely contained because of rain. David Steeves, a technician of forest resources with Nova Scotia’s Department of Natural Resources and Renewables, said the fire in the Halifax area is about 85% contained, sits at 9.5 square kilometer (about 4 square miles) and is unlikely to grow due to a combination of firefighting efforts and long-awaited rain.The news was also good across the province, where Premier Tim Houston said the total number of active wildfires declined from 10 in the morning to five by mid-afternoon.“If you step outside you will see something beautiful: rain, and hopefully lots of it,” he told an afternoon briefing.The only fire that remains out of control is one in Shelburne County in the southwestern corner of the province which remains “scary,” Houston said. The blaze th...
