BOULDER — Zach Hilbers has entertained saints, sinners, swindlers, senseis, sharks, sages and savants. But he’d never seen any coach do what CU Buffs defensive line coach Sal Sunseri did a few months back while he was recruiting Brandon Davis-Swain.“He had Brandon do hand-fighting drills with him in my home room,” Hilbers, the football coach at West Bloomfield (Mich.) High School, recalled with a laugh. “He was just like, ‘Hey, Brandon, stand up. Let me show you something.’ He pops Brandon like five inches back.“He says, ‘Try this.’ He has him doing all these block-shedding moves. He was like, ‘Look, I taught (former Alabama defensive end) Will Anderson this stuff.’ He went from this to this to this. It was like watching a karate or a judo teacher.”Turns out Sunseri made an impression on multiple fronts. Davis-Swain, a 6-foot-3, 264-pound, four-star lineman and one of the top recruits in greater Detroit, committ...CU Buffs vs. Nebraska football: How to watch, storylines and staff predictions

No. 22 Colorado (1-0) vs. Nebraska (0-1)When/where: 10 a.m. Saturday/Folsom FieldTV/Radio: KDVR-31 (Fox)/850 AMBetMGM Line: CU -3, 58.5 over/underWeather: 75 degrees, mostly sunnyFive storylinesGrounded: If there was one slightly alarming development from an otherwise incredible offensive performance against TCU, it was the Buffs’ struggles to get anything going on the ground. While offensive coordinator Sean Lewis never strayed from running the ball, 55 yards on 34 carries (1.6 yards/carry) will not work long-term. Even more worrisome this week: Nebraska just held Minnesota, a program that prides itself on being able to shove the ball down opponents’ throats, to just 55 yards on 25 carries.Air it out: That being said, it’s not as if the Buffs got zero production from their running backs last week. In fact, freshman RB Dylan Edwards led CU in receiving yards (135). And that was with three receivers topping 100 yards against TCU: Travis Hunter (119), Xavier Weaver (...Angry Chipotle customer in Ohio slams burrito bowl in worker's face, video shows

By Mark Kennedy | Associated Press“The Conjuring” Universe celebrates 10 years in business this fall with the dull “The Nun II,” a movie that seems destined to pound a nail into this franchise’s undead coffin.A new directing and writing team fails to shock or scare with a color-by-numbers plot and a meandering, languid wannabe frightfest. A few audience members fired up their phones halfway through a recent preview, a bad sign for anyone hoping for a gripping experience.A sequel to “The Nun” — the top-earning film in the franchise, with more than $366 million worldwide — was never going to be denied and the sequel hews carefully to the previous success. You could even say it’s haunted by its better precedent.This time it is 1956 — four years after the events of “The Nun” — and a demon is once again stalking Europe. It’s the same horrific Valak we met last time and suspected didn’t die, despite being splashed by ...Soaring chronic absenteeism in California schools is at ‘pivotal moment’

As a new school year gets underway in California, districts are desperately trying to lure thousands of missing, tardy and truant students back to the classroom in what many view as a pivotal moment for education in California.In 2021-22, 30% of students in California’s public schools were chronically absent, an all-time high and more than three times the pre-pandemic rate. Advocates fear that unless schools can reverse the trend, so many students will fall behind that they may never catch up.“This is a crisis, and it’s not going to change until we do everything we can to get kids back in school 100%,” said Heather Hough, director of Policy Analysis for California Education. “What we all fear is that this will become the new normal.… It is hard to overstate the importance of this issue, and it is absolutely a pivotal moment.”Before the pandemic, about 10% of students in California’s public schools missed at least 10% (or 18 days) in a school year, which the state defines as chronica...Rainbow riot: Santa Cruz County dahlia farm offers respite amid fire recovery

BEN LOMOND — For Karla DeLong, the 3-year-old memory of how the CZU Lightning Complex fires scoured both her family’s land and the greater community seems like a lifetime ago.Colorful dahlias are harvested at Beeline Blooms dahlia farm in Ben Lomond. (Shmuel Thaler – Santa Cruz Sentinel) “And in some regards, it feels like no time at all,” DeLong said during a visit late last month.DeLong, offering a tour of her Stephens Lane property, pointed to where the forest line had receded, revealing what is now a sunny and sprawling mountain meadow. The fire inadvertently cleared space for what is now home to Beeline Blooms Flower Farm, co-run by DeLong and sister Katrina London. The farm’s name, in part, was inspired by DeLong’s many beehives on the property and paid for through insurance money from the farm’s fire-demolished barn.“The fire, it came within 3 feet of the house,” recalled DeLong, who has shared land with what was once a Christmas tree farm for the past 16 years. “We went...Opinion: Why televising Donald Trump’s trials would be a mistake

I’ll admit to being troubled by the Aug. 31 ruling by the judge in Donald Trump’s upcoming Georgia trial that the proceedings will be televised and live-streamed. With all due respect, I’d like to offer a brief dissent. I’m no fan of former President Trump. But I’ve long agreed with Chief Justice Earl Warren, who argued a bit over a half-century ago that criminal defendants should be able to veto cameras at their trials.Defense lawyers have argued for decades that the intrusion of cameras might alter the behavior of witnesses, counsel, perhaps even judge and jury. Though the evidence thus far hasn’t borne out this worry, the issue remains hotly contested. But my own concern is less about whether televised trials are fair to the defendant than about the effect they might have on the audience.The case in favor of televising Trump’s trial is most clearly put in the recent letter from leading Democrats to the Judicial Conference of the United States, seeking waiver or reconsiderat...One adult, three children arrested with vehicle stole out of Oakland
