BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Two-way standout Travis Hunter returned to the University of Colorado lineup against Stanford on Friday night nearly a month after a late hit from a Colorado State defender last month sent him to the hospital with a lacerated liver.Hunter lined up at defensive back when the Buffaloes deferred to the second half and Stanford started off with the ball. As Hunter took the field, coach Deion Sanders walked out and hugged him as he prepared to line up at cornerback.When the Buffaloes got the ball, Hunter lined up at wide receiver and later scored on a 24-yard catch-and-run, after which he went to his knees, looked up with his arms outstretched and his palms up as if in thankful prayer.A flag was thrown for unsportsmanlike conduct following the gesture by Hunter, whose first career touchdown for Colorado made it 14-0.Hunter missed games against Oregon, USC and Arizona State and Coach Prime originally slated his star’s return for Oct. 28 at UCLA following the Bu...

Gaskin: Project recognizes Black women who shaped Boston

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:28:50 GMT

At a time when some leaders are questioning the legitimacy of Black studies and denigrating lessons about Black history or racism as “woke” or as “Critical Race Theory” — terms that white supremacists have twisted to make them sound bad — we did something different. We celebrate 212 of Boston’s most admired, beloved, and successful Black Women leaders who were responsible for shaping Boston through their work in arts and culture, legislation, health, education, community building, and raising a generation of leaders, thereby improving the quality of life for everyone in the city.When it comes to Boston, people are aware of the Irish, Italian, and Brahmin influences. But many are not aware of the collective and cumulative impact Black women have had over the last 300 years. The Black Women Lead (BWL) project helps fill this knowledge gap by recognizing Black women leaders who made their marks on Boston from the 1700s through the present day. They include abolitionists, suffragists, U...

Lowry: U.S. needs to focus on making weapons

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:28:50 GMT

No matter how much we’d like to believe in the inevitably of human progress and the spread of enlightened norms, we’ve learned the past couple of years that we still need artillery shells — lots of artillery shells.The Hamas terror attack, together with the ongoing Ukraine war and the looming Chinese threat to Taiwan, is putting a spotlight on the pitiful state of our capacity to manufacture the weapons necessary to the defense of our allies and ourselves.According to a CNN report, an Israel ground invasion of Gaza would “create a new and entirely unexpected demand for 155 mm artillery ammunition and other weapons at a time when the U.S. and its allies and partners have been stretched thin from more than 18 months of fighting in Ukraine.”We are learning to our regret that we are using an attenuated post-Cold War, “end of history” defense-industrial base to try to meet the security needs of a newly threatening international environment with t...

Editorial: The world must support Israel’s war on terror

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:28:50 GMT

The images from Israel have been horrific. Almost exactly 50 years after the Yom Kippur War, Israeli forces again appear to have been taken by surprise by their enemies. Attacks by Hamas terrorists left at least 1,300 Israelis dead and thousands wounded, many of them civilians. Dozens more are missing or have been taken hostage. Fighting and rocket attacks rage across the country. Israel, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared, is at war.This murderous Palestinian assault deserves only one response from the world: outrage, and unwavering support for Israel’s right to defend itself. U.S. President Joe Biden has rightly pledged to stand with Israel “full stop,” as has the European Union. Even as Israel takes the necessary military actions to protect its citizens, all parties in the region need to work to restore some semblance of stability and avoid a broader conflict.An Israeli invasion of Gaza to rescue Israeli captives and reassert control over the territory could last month...
