Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:30:23 GMT

GOLDEN, Colo. (KDVR) — FOX31 is getting a first look at a new way Colorado State Patrol is training cadets to save lives in all kinds of situations.At the CSP training academy in Golden, things are looking a little different lately. “We have actually been training in this building here since 1935,” CSP Capt. Rocco Domenico said, adding, “What they were going through back in the '30s and what we're going through today is night and day." Did Trump violate the ‘insurrection’ clause? Coloradans sue to prove it in court Domenico showed FOX31 a new system CSP purchased a year ago: a virtual reality training system that the latest, large cadet class is getting the first opportunity to use.“We can control the environment for them, to help them to make good, conscious, clear decisions as part of our training program,” Domenico said.“We want to see their control tactics," Domenico added. "We want to see their officer presence, how they interact with the public. Are they asking for the ...

Orioles bash Angels, 10-3, for series sweep behind Austin Hays’ 4-for-4 night, Kyle Gibson’s bounce-back start

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:30:23 GMT

Austin Hays’ 2023 season was beginning to mirror his 2022 one.Last season, the outfielder was perhaps the team’s best player through June with an .810 OPS. But he struggled throughout the second half as he battled through multiple injuries, including a wrist injury he suffered in late June. He hit just .219 after the injury.This year, Hays was even better in the first half. He wasn’t just the Orioles’ offensive leader, he was one of the best outfielders in the major leagues. His .314 batting average and .853 OPS earned him an All-Star Game nomination. Although, again, he stumbled to begin the second half as his numbers plummeted.But his monster performance Wednesday in Baltimore’s 10-3 win over the the Los Angeles Angels — 4-for-4 with a home run and four RBIs — was the latest example that Hays has broken out of his slump and is back to the hitter he was in the first half.The 28-year-old accounted for six of the Orioles’ 10 runs and on...

Lowry: U.S. has issues, but it’s not the Roman Empire

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:30:23 GMT

An op-ed in The New York Times warns, as the headline puts it, “America is an empire in decline” and finds a precedent in imperial Rome.The piece, written by the co-author of a new book, “Why Empires Fall: Rome, America, and the Future of the West,” shows that the cottage industry in comparisons between the United States and Rome is as robust as ever.Both conservatives and progressives are prone to their own versions of this narrative, tending to emphasize either moral decline or imperial overstretch respectively.But the most important thing to know about us and our supposed imperial forebear is that we aren’t Rome and aren’t experiencing any of the most direct, spectacular causes of its fall.It is true that Rome’s fall — a long, messy process — didn’t unfold with the pleasing cinematic simplicity the popular imagination might believe; the extent of the barbarian population transfers have been exaggerated; and the eastern half of the empire lived on for another 1,000 years.Still, th...

Tee Thursday: The different types of playing partner

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:30:23 GMT

As I dive deeper into golf life, I’ve come to realize that there’s a component to the sport that may very well be as important to the success of your game as your clubs.Your playing partners can not only make or break a round, they can positively – or negatively – impact your entire view of the game. I’m realizing, as I play more places and with more folks, there are all kinds of players out there; most worth finding a way to play with no matter what, and a few here and there that you may *clears throat* be super busy any time they ask you to play.Here’s my take, so far, on playing partners, their point of view and how they impact my play.The Experienced Player S/O: One of the reasons I was happy to finally embrace golf in my life is that my husband of 40 years (my significant other) has long loved the sport. We play together often, and (thanks much to our experience as mixed doubles tennis partners) usually meld quite well out there.But there are things spouses should, for th...

Get your skin ready for fall & winter

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:30:23 GMT

With summer popping up in our rear-view, it’s time to face the fall transition — quite literally. After the past few months of beach days, weeks when we tend to get a little lax with our skincare regimens, and vacations around the pool, it’s time to get our faces back on track. The way to do it:  — key grooming behaviors like regular exfoliation, making sure we’re properly hydrated after all that sun, and on a more cosmetic level, adjusting our skin tone accordingly.Make like a tree and exfoliateIt isn’t just forests that need to shed their excess and dying outer layers; we do too. Our skin naturally does so constantly, but fall is a great time to gently help it along, since starting in a month or so we’ll be inside a lot more. Exfoliating is crucial for radiant and healthy skin, and scrubs are one of the easiest ways to get a good effect. Using one like— just spread an even layer over clean, dry skin, leave on for 10 minutes, then massage into skin and rinse—is a great way to slowl...

Who is ‘The Fraud’ in Zadie Smith’s comic novel?

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:30:23 GMT

Set mostly in 19th-century England, “The Fraud” marks Zadie Smith’s shift from transcultural concerns. Her more contemporary “Swing Time,” narrated in first person, followed the entangled lives of two biracial dancers across three continents. In her bestselling debut, “White Teeth,” and subsequent novels like “On Beauty,” she explored — pointedly and personally — similar themes.“The Fraud,” written in the third person and heavily researched, is undeniably British, its focus more insular. Some of Smith’s signature moves are still present in the sparkly prose, though, including short chapters that suit our distracted age. Here, too, Smith employs a nonlinear narrative that requires attention as we follow the divergent strands of the reedy story line.When we first meet Eliza Touchet, the Scottish protagonist, she already has (mostly) arrived at her station in life. She is the “canny and hard” housekeepe...

Lucas: National Guard should be working the border, not Mass.

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:30:23 GMT

People should not be surprised that Gov. Maura Healey called out the National Guard to deal with the state’s illegal immigrant crisis.Yes, she might say, the state is burdened, but that’s how cities grow.No, the surprise would have been if she sent the 250 troopers to El Paso to deal with the nation’s illegal immigration crisis at the border.A bigger surprise would be if she sent the illegal immigrants back to where they came from.But that was never in the cards, nor will it ever be.Joe Biden, bent on wrecking the country, opened the gates and there is no one around to close them.Now millions of illegal immigrants from across the world, mostly poor and unskilled, have inundated the country and nobody knows who they are.And if you criticize it, you are labeled anti-immigrant even though you support legal immigration and not the behind the back, deceitful and secret immigration policies of the Biden administration.Instead of defending the country and the state from foreign threat or i...

Derry: The ‘right’ way for GOP candidates to address crime

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 05:30:23 GMT

Violent crime and public safety will be a campaign issue as presidential candidates crisscross the nation. While conservatives support “law and order” and the “rule of law,” recent polling shows Republican voter views on crime and the criminal justice system are much more complex.Republican attitudes are rooted in public safety systems that maintain peace and order, a belief in the power of redemption, and the recognition that rehabilitated men and women who paid their debts to society need education, training and post-release support to become productive members of their communities.Several candidates at August’s GOP debate captured America’s concern over the violent crime destroying lives and ripping apart communities. Former vice president Mike Pence said calls to defund the police are abhorrent and reckless. Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie pivoted to rogue prosecutors who refuse to do their jobs. And Florida governor Ron DeSantis took Christie’s point even further, say...
