River floods Maine
FORT KENT, Maine (AP) -- The rain-swollen St. John River crested early today after hitting a new record high, forcing residents to flee to higher ground as more than 100 homes flooded. Rain and melting snow raised the St. John to more than 30 feet -- about 5 feet above flood stage -- causing widespread flooding.

on Sebelius staying as Kansas governor Topeka Capital-Journal Gov. Kathleen Sebelius apparently will spend the next two years where she belongs, in the Kansas governor's office.

Bradford's flip a Heisman moment?
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- When Oklahoma tight end Jermaine Gresham saw Sam Bradford go hurtling end over end in an all-out effort to score a touchdown, his first thought wasn't a good one. "I thought it was a gangling deer got hit by a car or something," Gresham said. "All I saw was his legs go in the air." Because the key loss that knocked the Sooners out of the national championship race a season earlier also came when Bradford was injured, ...

Sedgwick County too quick to take kids
WICHITA (AP) -- When a local middle school mistakenly reported a 13-year-old home-schooler to the state as a truant, it seems like the matter could have been easily cleared up.

Along the way, Ashton's mother, Bamb...
