  • Dow turns 567 point loss into 567 point gain as stocks rally

    Feb 7, 2018

    NEW YORK — U.S. stocks rallied Tuesday as a late surge helped them regain almost half their losses from the day before, when they had their biggest plunge in 6 ½ years. That came at the end of a day of heavy trading and huge swings for the market. Major indexes in Asia and Europe took steep losses and U.S. markets started sharply lower, only to repeatedly change direction. After its 1,175-point nosedive Monday, the Dow Jones industrial average lost 567 points right after trading began. After numerous turns higher and lower, it wound up with a...

  • Vikings might have to wait to talk with Eagles' John DeFilippo about coordinator job

    Feb 7, 2018

    When it comes to talking to Philadelphia quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo about their open offensive coordinator position, the Vikings are in a holding pattern. A source said Tuesday that, as it stands now, the Vikings can’t talk with DeFilippo until 10 days after the end of the season for the Eagles, who won Super Bowl LII on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. That would be Feb. 14, when his contract expires. The Vikings are trying to get permission to speak to DeFilippo earlier, but it appears they’re willing to wait if the Eagles balk. htt...

    Feb 7, 2018

  • When Students Assault Teachers, Effects Can Be Lasting

    Feb 7, 2018

    When Michelle Andrews leaned over to talk to a disruptive 6th grader in her class, she says the student struck her in the face, causing Andrews’ neck to snap backwards. The 2015 incident was scary, and it also caused permanent nerve damage, said Andrews, who had been teaching for six years before the attack. The student was suspended for a week for disrespect toward a teacher—not for assault—and then returned to Andrews’ classroom in Bridgeton, N.J. https://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2018/02/06/when-students-assault-teachers...
