Nearly 100 shorebirds were killed when a vehicle was driven into a flock on a beach in southwest Washington state, NBC station KING of Seattle reported. Wildlife officers and sheriff's deputies who were called to the scene Thursday afternoon found 92 dunlin dead on Long Beach.  The Wildlife Center of the North Coast said the trauma was consistent with a collision with a motor vehicle, KING reported. Seabirds and shorebirds are protected by law. Wildlife officers have shown that a vehicle must be traveling much faster than the posted 25-mph speed limit on the beach in order to hit these types of birds, KING said.

California lost 62-14 at No. 15 Oregon State on Saturday night, closing out a difficult season and leaving the future of its longtime coach in question. Sean Mannion passed for 325 yards and four touchdowns for the Beavers (8-2, 6-2 Pac-12), who improved to 5-0 at Reser Stadium and will face Oregon in the Civil War next weekend. Isi Sofele had 104 yards rushing for the Golden Bears (3-9, 2-7), who were hampered all season long by turnovers, penalties, missed assignments and sloppy tackling. Allan Bridgford was 18-of-31 passing for 132 yards. Tedford, two-time conference coach of the year, has been at California since 2002, but the program has been in decline. The Bears are 15-22 in the past three seasons. This was the worst campaign for Cal since it went 1-10 in 2001. "I don't know," Tedford said when asked if he would be returning next season.

Excerpt:

This year's Emmy winner for Best Drama Series, along with statues for lead actors Claire Danes and Damian Lewis, became THE show to watch/analyze/debate with your family, friends and coworkers (the show actually hit a ratings high with this past Sunday's polarizing hour). That's why EW named it as one of our Entertainers of the Year for 2012. 'Anarchy' finale: Kurt Sutter says... "It seems a little excessive," jokes Danes of the banner year. "It's always a little concerning when there's this gush, this flood of success. But it's wonderful and I'm just so grateful that people have really embraced the show and are as enthusiastic as they are. I think we all can't quite believe our luck." Adds Lewis, "I know the writers were concerned on not being able to top season one.

President Obama signs a series of executive orders Wednesday about the administration's gun law proposals as Vice President Biden and children who wrote letters to the White House about gun violence look on. Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images If the National Rifle Association's plan to curb violence was, in part, arming school employees with guns, President Obama wants to arm them with something quite different: mental health training. The president's plan centers largely on training teachers and others who work with children, teens and young adults to recognize mental illness as it's developing.
