WASHINGTON (AP) — The Secret Service isn't saying much about how two people managed to crash Tuesday's White House dinner for the Indian prime minister.

They later bragged about it on their Facebook page.

SAN LUIS, Colo. (AP) — A creepy string of calf mutilations in southern Colorado has a rancher and sheriff's officials mystified. Four calves have been found dead in a pasture north of the New Mexico state line in recent weeks, with their skins peeled back and organs cleared from the rib cage. With no signs of human or animal attackers, some in the area think it's the work of aliens.
