JENNY TOLLEFSON IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT OFTEN PEOPLE such as Rusty Weston commit horrible acts of high-profile violence in an attempt to gain national attention. By “honoring” Weston with your cover, you have helped fuel the desires of other potential assassins to gain this same fame. MOLLY SMART I FOUND YOUR COVER ARTICLE ON RUSTY Weston disappointing.

The documents also ask for the suppression of certain evidence in Duggar’s case, including all statements he gave to investigators, whom the attorneys claim didn’t allow him to have a lawyer present when he was questioned.

As far the first part goes, yes, Cano's value likely does take a slight hit. Yankee Stadium is one of the best hitting parks for lefties. Statcorner.com gave it a park factor of 116 for lefty HRs last season. Safeco graded out as a 90, though it is worth noting that that's 10 points higher than it is for righties. It's also worth noting that Safeco was only six points lower in 2B/3B score than Yankee Stadium, so Cano can still rack up plenty of extra-base hits....

Elias Pettersson, who has collected a point in every Canucks game this season - including Saturday - left the game in the third period after he was slammed to the ice by Mike Matheson. The rookie got the puck along the end boards and, after playing it, was checked hard and then thrown down by the defenseman. It looked like Pettersson’s head made contact with the ice. Play was stopped as the 19-year-old was woozy and unable to stand under his own power....
