(AP) — Cameron Ward threw for 288 yards and accounted for four touchdowns, Brennan Jackson had two scoop-and-score touchdowns and Washington State beat Colorado 56-14 on Friday night to snap a six-game losing streak and end the Buffaloes’ hopes of a bowl game in the first year under Deion Sanders.Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders left the game in the second quarter after taking a big hit on a botched snap.

Sanders, the coach’s son, was sacked four times before leaving the game.“He had some numbness in his hand and couldn’t really grip the ball,” Sanders said. “But then that second hit he just got rolled up on, we decided not to send him back out.”Colorado (4-7, 1-7 Pac-12 Conference) and “Coach Prime” were the darlings of college football after a 3-0 start, but the team has ...

“Los rostros de Sanxingdui”: reliquias de la Edad de Bronce arrojan luz sobre un misterioso reino antiguo

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:34:18 GMT

(CNN) — Un rostro dorado con ojos turquesa patinados mira desde la oscuridad. A su alrededor, iluminadas, se alzan otras tres cabezas de bronce —algunas con la parte superior plana, otras redondas—, todas ellas vigiladas por una gigantesca estatua de bronce de casi tres metros de altura. Todas tienen los mismos ojos penetrantes y angulosos.Hay algo en los “Rostros de Sanxingdui”, como se ha llamado a esta colección de esculturas, que resulta familiar y extraño a la vez. Actualmente expuestas en el Museo del Palacio de Hong Kong, pueden parecer mayas o aztecas a ojos inexpertos, pero estas esculturas de más de 3.000 años de antigüedad no fueron desenterradas en ningún lugar cercano a las antiguas civilizaciones de Mesoamérica. Se descubrieron en la llanura china de Chengdu, en un yacimiento arqueológico llamado Sanxingdui (que se traduce como “montículo de las tres estrellas”).Está máscara de oro está entre los miles de artefactos antiguos descubiertos e...

US judge rules Trump ‘engaged in an insurrection’ — but can still run for president

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:34:18 GMT

A Colorado judge has turned away a challenge looking to disqualify former President Donald Trump from running for president under an interpretation of the 14th Amendment that argued he engaged in an insurrection against the United States on Jan. 6, 2021.The ruling came in a case brought by progressive activists who sued the state, arguing that Trump was barred from returning to the office. A handful of courts in other states turned away similar challenges.The case in Colorado was brought by the liberal government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. CREW argued that Trump is ineligible to run because of a clause in the 14th Amendment, which reads that those who took an oath to defend the Constitution and then have “engaged in an insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof” are ineligible to serve.CREW said the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 disqualified Trump under a reading of the Civil War-e...
