Report sheds new light on Hastings, Minn., day care death 
The report by the state Department of Human Services says the infant was placed face down on a blanket on a carpeted floor. The day care provider, Ann Quigley, had her child care license revoked because the incident last January deviated from safe-sleep policies in Minnesota and because the child was left unsupervised in that position for 10 to 15 minutes.

Because of changing tastes of pet owners, black dogs and cats often go unadopted in shelters and are ultimately euthanized. That's why an animal shelter in Hastings had a "Black Friday" sale Friday.
