Smiling on the January 1987 cover of Ms., the magazine co-founded by feminism pioneer Gloria Steinem, are its 12 Women of the Year. They include a U.S. senator, a renowned novelist, a former nun who helped Central American refugees. And, smiling brightest of all, Dolly Parton. The beloved country superstar, who died this week at 80, never embraced the feminist label. In fact, she eschewed it when asked, just as she carefully avoided political labels.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Shardae Williams woke up recently to someone blasting Tupac Shakur's “Shed So Many Tears," as they drove by her home. Lately at work or while running errands, she has seen people wearing Shakur shirts.

WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers came up with a total team effort and stunned the CFL-leading Montreal Alouettes 44-28 in front of a sold-out crowd at Princess Auto Stadium on Friday night.

TORONTO — The way starter Dylan Cease and relievers Mason Fluharty, Paul Sewald and CJ Van Eyk pitched for the Toronto Blue Jays in their series opener against the Seattle Mariners, there wasn’t much need for an offensive explosion on Friday. But after the embarrassing 13-2 series-finale loss to the Kansas City Royals on Thursday that sent Toronto off the field with the home fans jeering, manager John Schneider felt the need to address his club’s offensive woes.

TORONTO — Dylan Cease struck out eight in six innings, and Nathan Lukes, George Springer and Kazuma Okamoto smacked solo homers to help the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Seattle Mariners 8-1 on Friday to open a three-game weekend series. Springer led the offence with four hits as the Blue Jays (66-70) won for the third time in seven games, while the Mariners lost for only the third occasion in their last 12 outings. Cease (9-5) scattered four hits and a walk in his 92-pitch outing.
