A goodhearted momma once approached her well-known and popular pastor after he had completed a stirring message that Sunday morning. She gently introduced herself and then told him, “My son is studying to be a minister at So-and-So Seminary nearby. What is a good piece of advice that you would give him about preparing to preach?” The older and very experienced minister hesitated, looked down into her earnest face and then said, “Madam, before I step into the pulpit, I always check my fly!...

The students and city guys who did the work on the crosswalks need high-fives all around. I had the flu on Thursday and Friday this last week. I had not had the flu for about ten years, and had forgotten how much fun it was. If it happens again, I may have to rethink a shot. A lady called the police to report that her husband was missing. The police arrived and asked for a description of her husband. She told them that he was 6 foot 2 inches tall with blonde wavy hair and a smile that made every...
Northwestern Oklahoma State University officials have announced a decrease in the overall student population but are seeing significant increases in graduate and concurrent numbers. This national trend of a decreasing undergraduate student population is the largest within higher education in 10 years, according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. Northwestern reported a decrease of 2.5 percent in student headcount, with a total of 1,789. Graduate student numbers saw an increase of 14 percent, and concurrent student headcount...

About halfway through the second quarter, it looked like the Alva Goldbugs had a good chance to pull off their second district win of this season. But the outlook changed quickly, and by the half Alva was down three touchdowns. The Luther Lions held the Goldbugs scoreless the rest of the game and celebrated the 47-15 victory as they returned home. It was a disappointing finale to the Alva homecoming celebration. First Quarter The Lions took the kickoff and steadily advanced from their 14 yard... Full story
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — There were plenty of warning signs about the Texas defense, from big-play scores to the late-game touchdown drives, that had been overlooked in three consecutive wins. Then came a second-half meltdown against Oklahoma that was just too much to overcome in a 55-48 loss on Saturday. Still, Longhorns players and coach Steve Sarkisian insist there is no crisis of confidence ahead of Saturday's matchup with No. 12 Oklahoma State (5-0, 2-0). There is definitely a need for some urgency, however, if the No. 25 Longhorns (4-2, 2...
COWETA, Okla. (AP) — Severe storms brought suspected tornadoes and baseball-sized hail to parts of Oklahoma, but there were no reports Monday of deaths or injuries. The severe weather system that hit Oklahoma late Sunday also brought heavy rain, lightning and wind to parts of Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Texas, and more stormy weather is predicted for later this week in parts of the central U.S. Severe weather is not unusual in the Southern Plains in October, said Chuck Hodges, senior meteorologist with the National Weather Service in T...
PINE, Colo. (AP) — Wildlife officials in Colorado say an elusive elk that has been wandering the hills with a car tire around its neck for at least two years has finally been freed of the obstruction. The 4 1/2-year-old, 600-pound (270-kilogram) bull elk was spotted near Pine Junction, southwest of Denver, on Saturday evening and tranquilized, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Officers with the agency had to cut off the elk's five-point antlers to remove the encumbrance because they couldn't slice through the steel in the bead of the ti...
CHICAGO (AP) — Al Capone may have died nearly 75 years ago but it's clear interest in the infamous Chicago gangster is very much alive after some of his prized possessions were auctioned off over the weekend for at least $3 million. The Chicago Tribune reports that Capone's family sold several of his belongings, including what was billed as his favorite gun, at auction in California, where his three surviving granddaughters live. The event, called "A Century of Notoriety: The Estate of Al Capone," was held at a private club in Sacramento and at...
KINGSLEY, Mich. (AP) — A high school soccer player in northern Michigan broke records for most goals in a game, but not everyone is cheering. Kevin Hubbell of Benzie Central, one of the best players in the state, scored 16 goals against Kingsley. The Sept. 29 game was declared over at halftime — a 17-0 wipeout of a winless team. That's why some people are upset. "To go after a personal record like that at the cost of another team's dignity was a little uncalled for," Kingsley coach Tim VanWingerden said. "Soccer is not the right place for that....
STOCKHOLM (AP) — A U.S.-based economist won the Nobel prize in economics Monday for pioneering research that transformed widely held ideas about the labor force, showing how an increase in the minimum wage doesn't hinder hiring and immigrants don't lower pay for native-born workers. Two others shared the award for developing ways to study these types of societal issues. Canadian-born David Card of the University of California, Berkeley, was awarded half of the prize for his research on how the minimum wage, immigration and education affect t...
WASHINGTON (AP) — It's a risky move by President Joe Biden that could come back to haunt him — and future presidents — in the hyperpartisan world of Washington politics. Democrat Biden has agreed to a request from Congress seeking sensitive information on the actions of Republican Donald Trump and his aides during the Jan. 6 insurrection, though the former president claims the information is guarded by executive privilege. The move by Biden isn't the final word; Trump says he will challenge the requests, and a lengthy legal battle is likel...
WASHINGTON (AP) — Drugmaker Merck asked U.S. regulators Monday to authorize its pill for treating COVID-19 in what would add an entirely new and easy-to-use weapon to the world's arsenal against the pandemic. If cleared by the Food and Drug Administration — a decision that could come in a matter of weeks — it would be the first pill shown to treat the illness. All other FDA-backed treatments against COVID-19 require an IV or injection. An antiviral pill that people could take at home to reduce their symptoms and speed recovery could prove...
LONDON (AP) — British police have announced they will not take any action against Prince Andrew after a review prompted by a Jeffrey Epstein accuser who claims that he sexually assaulted her. Virginia Giuffre claims she was trafficked by Epstein to have sex with Andrew in London in 2001, when she was 17 and a minor under U.S. law. She is suing the prince in a U.S. court. Andrew, the second son of Queen Elizabeth II, denies the allegations. He told the BBC in a 2019 interview that he never had sex with Giuffre, saying: "It didn't happen." In A...
