Researchers have found a link between two geological events in iconic locations of the U.S. Southwest that scientists previously didn't think had anything to do with each other.

Wildfires burning at or near the Grand Canyon's North Rim are still raging as strong winds, high heat and low humidity persist.

A wildfire that destroyed a historic Grand Canyon lodge is continuing to spread out of control after it had been allowed to burn for days.

Watt and Braman entered the league together in 2011, with Watt being the No. 11 overall pick in the draft that year. As of this writing, Braman's GoFundMe has raised over $88,000, which is well past the initial goal of $25,000.
