Canada will have a new national skyrunning series in 2027, with nine races at three western Canadian mountain events joined together under one points system.

Runners can tackle an array of races, from short, steep uphill races to a 50.5K SkyUltra, and are able to collect points toward an overall national ranking.

The tight end position is scoring more points across the board in 2026 Fantasy leagues which leads us to a new crop of TEs worth starting in Week 4 As I noted in the Week 4 projections risers and fallers, the tight end position has been flat-out insane through three weeks. We have six tight ends averaging at least 14.8 PPR Fantasy points per game, six more scoring 12 to 14 FPPG and another five averaging double digits. Admittedly, of those 17 tight ends averaging double digits, we aren't excited about starting Jake Ferguson, Mike Gesicki, or Noah Fant. But still, 14 starting options feel pretty great, particularly when there is one guy who is not included in that list on the waiver wire who may be close to a must-start this week in Tyler Higbee. Those numbers indicate that no one should be desperate for a tight end, but we know that is not the case, because some teams have two or three of the top 14 tight ends. First and foremost, those teams should probably be looking to make a trade, particularly if the only reason they have two tight ends is that they were covering for Brock Bowers the first two weeks.

Silage bunker being filled. (Photos by Dan Buskirk.) Silage can be created from nearly any forage crop, but corn is often used because it is so energy-dense. Putting up silage can preserve forage quality via fermentation if it has sufficient moisture and is stored anaerobically (oxygen-free), under conditions that encourage fermentation of sugars to organic acids. Acidity from organic acids and the lack of oxygen prevent the development of microbes that cause spoilage. Dan Buskirk, Associate Professor/Beef Extension Specialist at Michigan State University, says corn silage is an excellent feed in terms of energy content for most classes of livestock except dry cows that don’t need that much energy in their diet. “Silage is usually high in energy but deficient in protein. A protein supplement is often needed when silage is fed,” he says.

The smokestacks can stop. The oil wells can close. But the warming will persist for decades. A new study suggests that carbon dioxide released by the world’s biggest fossil-fuel and cement producers will continue keeping the planet warmer for centuries, even in a future in which humanity sharply cuts emissions. Researchers estimate that historical emissions linked to 178 “Carbon Majors” were responsible for about 0.66° Celsius of warming by 2025. In their lowest-emissions scenario, roughly 0.45° of that warming was still present in the year 2500.

RCIPosted: September 29, 2026 4:58 PMDarren Major (new window) · CBC News ·One of U. S. President Donald Trump's trade advisers is threatening repercussions for Canada if it « interferes » in the upcoming midterm elections — though it's not clear what he anticipates the country would do to impact the vote. Peter Navarro, who has lashed out at Canada in the past (new window), made these latest remarks during a talk at an economic conference in Washington on Tuesday. Navarro was speaking generally about the Trump administration's trade policy when the conversation turned to the ongoing dispute with Canada. He blasted Canadians on K Street — an area in Washington known as a hub for lobbyists — telling them to get the hell out of our country.
