(AP Photo/Mark Lennihan, File) WASHINGTON — Nearly 20 years after he left the White House, Bill Clinton is still sought after for advice by some Democrats running for president. But the names on his dance card in recent months underscore how much his standing in the party has changed. So far, none of the party's early front-runners has had a formal meeting with Clinton. Nor have the women who are running in the historically diverse primary field. Instead, Clinton has spoken mostly with male candidates who are considered longshots for the Democratic nomination, including Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, former Housing secretary Julian Castro and former Maryland Rep. John Delaney. Clinton remains one of Democrats' most successful politicians of the last half-century and one of its strongest messengers on the economy. Yet the...

Armed with some outdoor survival training, granola bars, and pink rubber boots, 5- and 8-year-old sisters survived 44 hours in rugged Northern California wilderness before they were found dehydrated and cold but in good spirits on Sunday, authorities said. A fire chief and firefighter from a local volunteer department found Leia and Caroline Carrico in a wooded area about 1½ miles from their home in the small community of Benbow, where they had last been seen Friday afternoon, Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal said. Benbow is about 200 miles northwest of Sacramento. The girls were ‘‘safe and sound’’ and uninjured, thanks in part to survival training they got with their local 4-H club, Honsal said. ‘‘This is an absolute miracle,’’ he said. ‘‘This is rugged territory, this is an extreme environment. How they were out there for 44 hours is pretty amazing.’’  A photo of one of the girls posted by the sheriff’s office and already being widely shared on social media shows ...

Student had to bring his baby daughter to class so his professor watched her so he could pay attention

(Photo: Twitter) Here is a thing that happens to every parent: There’s somewhere you absolutely have to be — your current livelihood and possibly your future success depend on it — and all of your regular childcare options fall through. So often, they wind up staying home, knowing they’ll suffer for it. But sometimes, like in the case of one student at Morehouse College, they go with option B and bring the kid along. On Friday,  Nick Vaughn witnessed this scene  in his math class, when his classmate, Wayne Hayer, showed up wearing his baby daughter in a carrier. The father explained to their professor, Nathan Alexander, that he couldn’t find a babysitter.  “No problem, in fact I will even hold her so you can take better notes in class,” Vaughn quoted Alexander as saying  on his viral Facebook post. It turns out that this wasn’t a complete surprise. “I try to tell my students early in the semester that if they ever need anything from me, to be in touch wit...
