WASHINGTON (AP) - The financially struggling U.S. Postal Service says it plans to stop delivering mail on Saturdays, but continue delivering packages six days a week.

In an announcement scheduled for later Wednesday, the service is expected to say the cut, beginning in August, would mean a cost saving of about $2 billion annually.

The move accentuates one of the agency's strong points - package delivery has increased by 14 percent since 2010.

The delivery of letters and other mail has declined with the increasing use of email and other Internet use.

SACRAMENTO -  Getting going at the start of the day can be a struggle and many people turn to energy drinks for that morning pick-me-up.

But the findings of a recent study may have people putting down their bubbly boosters for good.

The study, conducted by the Journal of Pediatrics, focused heavily on teenage consumption of energy drinks. Results of the study revealed a number of startling facts, including a recent spike in emergency room visits linked to energy drink consumption.

The study highlighted various ingredients in the drinks, notably sugar and caffeine, and their effects on the body. 

SACRAMENTO, CA - They can be man's best friend, but police dogs can also be a suspect's worst enemy.

Now some of those suspects are fighting back, suing local police, saying the dogs' handlers have gone way too far.

"It hurts so bad, just to know that those teeth are going through your body," William Zander said.

Years later the wounds remain, physical and otherwise. In hindsight, Zander admits it was a bad idea to try to run from Sacramento County sheriff's deputies, but when they came looking for him at his grandmother's house in April 2010, Zander was scared. It didn't take long for him to come to his senses.

"I knew there was nowhere left to run because there was a helicopter on me, and if there was a canine on me, then I knew that they could sniff me out, so I immediately jumped, got down on the ground on my knees and put my hands behind my head as quick as possible so I wouldn't get bit," Zander said.
