OSLO, Norway (AP) — Russian soccer club Dynamo Moscow said Norwegian midfielder Mathias Normann terminated his contract with the team and left Russia after a drone strike on buildings near the neighborhood where he lived.Normann was one of the few players from western Europe to play for a Russian club after the country’s military invasion of Ukraine started in February last year, a decision that saw him exiled from Norway’s national team.

Pedaling beats polarization in a huge, cross-Iowa bike ride

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:50:51 GMT

WEST LIBERTY, Iowa (AP) — Bob Molsberry was a college student when he first watched the recreational bike ride that organizers say is now the country’s longest, largest and oldest. That was in 1973, and there were just a few hundred riders in RAGBRAI (the Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa). The following year, he and his wife joined in, starting what has become a family tradition. This year, the ride celebrated its 50th anniversary in July, with anywhere from 30,000 to 60,000 riders taking part on any given day.Molsberry, a retired United Church of Christ minister who was paralyzed when he was hit by a car while riding 26 years ago, loves meeting people from all walks of life on the annual trek across Iowa. The camaraderie built over seven days and 500 miles, often through painfully rolling hills and withering late-summer heat, feels irreplaceable.He also likes that thousands of cyclists in a deeply divided nation can leave their attitudes, beliefs and pen...

DENVER (KDVR) — No one understands Colorado quite like someone who has lived here, and that certainly rings true when it comes to a few "facts" -- or rather myths -- that have perpetuated the state.

According to a 2021 estimate by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, around 19% of Coloradans 18 and older had used marijuana in the past month. Colorado falling behind marijuana enforcement goals "I get asked all the time why did I move if weed is legal [in Colorado,]" one former Coloradan said. "It's because of the weed I had to move."2. That everyone drives or owns a SubaruViewers were quick to call this myth out, though there was some debate on what exactly the myth was."[A m...

How to get your kids into the back-to-school routine

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:50:51 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — How do you get your kid back into the routine of waking up early, doing homework and being on time? Routines are so important for kids, and the transition can be hard for children of all ages.FOX31 spoke to an expert at the Graduate School of Professional Psychology at the University of Denver, Dr. Kim Gorgens, about how you can make that transition as easy as possible. She said the main thing is sleep, and kids need a lot more sleep than you think. Younger kids need 11 to 13 hours a night, and teenagers should be getting about 9 hours.So, parents have to weigh what bedtime makes sense for doing homework, having dinner, getting enough sleep, and then waking up to get to school on time. Colorado parents paying more for back-to-school supplies this year Gorgens said giving your kids control over part of their routine can help create a more seamless transition.“So for kids, it's not so much implementing a routine for them but embedding their choices in that routine a...
