8 Colorado high school football games to watch in Week 6

CLASS 5AFountain-Fort Carson (5-0) vs. No. 2 Pine Creek (5-0)When/where: 6 p.m. Thursday at D20 StadiumLast meeting: Pine Creek 14, at Fountain-Fort Carson 0, Sept. 30, 2022Fountain-Fort Carson has yet to meet a defense capable of stopping its relentless run game (353.6 yards/game), and Pine Creek (6 points allowed/game) has yet to go up against an offense it can’t shut down. So something has got to give. Can Trojans senior Mathias Price continue his run of 100-yard rushing games — now at five straight? Can Creek run its shutout streak to three games in a row? This one should be fascinating.Valor Christian (1-4) vs. No. 7 Castle View (5-0)When/where: 6 p.m. Thursday at DCS StadiumLast meeting: Valor Christian 45, vs. Castle View 17, Sept. 29, 2022After rolling through its nonleague slate with just 31 points allowed, Castle View gets its stiffest test yet. Ugly record aside, Valor was essentially one stop away from taking down fourth-ranked Ralston Valley last week. A game that...

LONDON (AP) — Veteran actor Michael Gambon, who was known to many for his portrayal of Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore in six of the eight “Harry Potter” films, has died, his publicist said Thursday. He was 82.A statement by his family, issued by his publicist, said he died following “a bout of pneumonia.”“We are devastated to announce the loss of Sir Michael Gambon. Beloved husband and father, Michael died peacefully in hospital with his wife Anne and son Fergus at his bedside,” his family said.No matter what role he took on in a career that lasted more than five decades, Gambon was always instantly recognizable by the deep and drawling tones of his voice. He was cast as the much-loved Dumbledore after the death of his predecessor, Richard Harris, in 2002.

Donald Trump: UAW negotiations ‘don’t mean as much as you think’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:23:36 GMT

By Craig Mauger | The Detroit NewsClinton Township — Republican Donald Trump railed against electric vehicles during a campaign stop in suburban Detroit Wednesday night, saying they’re too expensive, aren’t capable of traveling far enough and would spur job losses for Americans.Trump, a former president who’s seeking to challenge current Democratic President Joe Biden next year, made the comments during a speech at Drake Enterprises, a parts supplier in Clinton Township. Amid a historic strike by the United Auto Workers against Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, Trump said: “Your current negotiations don’t mean as much as you think.”Trump argued that regardless of the outcome of the strike, the bigger threat to employees was the shift to electric cars and trucks, which he described as a “hit job” on Michigan and Detroit.“You can be loyal to American labor or you can be loyal to the environmental lunatics,” Trump said at one poi...

Opinion: Who decided the world should be disrupted by AI? Not voters

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:23:36 GMT

Who decided the world should be disrupted by AI? Do you recall receiving a voter pamphlet on the pros and cons of AI development and deployment? Was I the only one who missed election day?The truth of the matter is that the most impactful decisions about AI are being made by a few people with little to no input from the rest of us. That is a recipe for unrest if I’ve ever heard one.A couple dozen AI researchers think there’s a chance that AI could lead to unprecedented human flourishing. So, they have taken it upon themselves to develop ever more advanced AI models.At the same time, they have freely admitted that they increasingly have limited control over the technology itself and its potential side effects.Is it any surprise that more than a few folks feel disenchanted with a governing system that purports to give power to the people but, in practice, empowers computer scientists to more or less unilaterally throw society into a potential doom loop?It’s as if we&...

How the ‘Coach Prime’ effect is radically changing life in Boulder, Colorado

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:23:36 GMT

LOS ANGELES — There is exactly one soul food restaurant in Boulder, Colorado, a mom-and-daughter catering company located a mile from the University of Colorado campus.And ever since Deion Sanders came to town, Isha Rae has been hell-bent on getting him and the Buffs to try her grub.Recently, she looked up Colorado’s new-look football roster and sent an email to just about every Black person she could find, complete with pictures of offerings from her restaurant: Rae’s and Kay’s Melting Pot, offering a mix of soul food and Puerto Rican cuisine cooked by Rae and mom Char Kay. Collard greens. Ribs. Cornbread. Somebody was going to respond once they saw this, Rae figured, in a town where the next-nearest search for a soul food place rumbles you well up Route 36 to Gunbarrel.Sure enough, it worked. So Rae and Kay found themselves in an elevator on Colorado’s Boulder campus on Tuesday, invited to come drop off some food for Sanders’ staff to try to set up a catering arrangement. Marvelin...

Goldberg: Senate Democratic leaders need to break with Menendez. Now

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:23:36 GMT

Hopefully, Democratic leaders in the Senate will do the right thing, and this column will be obsolete by the time you read it. I would have written it earlier, but I thought that at any moment, the dam would break and Bob Menendez, the recently indicted senator from New Jersey accused of spectacular acts of treachery and corruption, would be pushed out. Yet here we are, four days after the Department of Justice gave us all a look at Menendez’s cash-stuffed jacket and 1-kilogram gold bars, and a united front of condemnation has yet to materialize. As I write this, more than a dozen Democratic senators have called on him to step down. Every other Democratic senator — especially the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer — should join them.It’s true, of course, that an indictment is not a conviction. (Menendez knows this as well as anyone, having been charged with corruption once before but spared by a hung jury.) While he is entitled to another fair trial, he is not entitled to a seat ...

Su regreso se organizó con ayuda de la aliada Suecia y la rival China, indicó el miércoles la Casa Blanca. Aunque las autoridades dijeron que King, de 23 años, estaba bien de salud y que la prioridad sería atenderle y reintegrarle en la sociedad estadounidense, sus problemas estaban lejos de terminar.King, quien había servido en Corea del Sur, cruzó a la carrera hacia Corea del Norte mientras se encontraba en un recorrido turístico en una aldea fronteriza el 18 de julio, convirtiéndose en el primer estadounidense confirmado en ser detenido en Corea del Norte en casi cinco años.
