Edge rusher Bralen Trice hopes for one more big performance for Washington, this time for the title

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 15:09:49 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — More than most, Roger Rosengarten knows the difficulty that comes with trying to block Washington’s Bralen Trice.So allow the Huskies’ right tackle, who spent the entire offseason and fall camp trying to contain Trice in practice, explain what makes Washington’s standout edge rusher so difficult.“Bralen does a really good job with his balance between his rushes. I think he does a really good job balancing his power to speed moves and he’s also a technician with his hands,” Rosengarten said Thursday. “As soon as that guy gets off the line; I think he’s got the best get-off in college football.”Understandably overshadowed by Washington’s high-powered offense and the performance this season from quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and his stable of wide receivers, the Huskies understand their defense has to do its part in the national championship game against No. 1 Michigan on Monday.That likely means another big game from Trice, who was at his most disruptive in Washington’s...

Court records bring new, unwanted attention to rich and famous in Jeffrey Epstein’s social circle

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 15:09:49 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Before and after he was exposed as a pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein loved to mingle with the world’s elite.The millionaire invited politicians and academics to his private island and luxury homes. He offered celebrities rides on his private jet. He and his girlfriend, the socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, hung out with princes and supermodels. They made donations that brought them into contact with leading philanthropists.After Epstein killed himself while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges in 2019, many of those people have apologized for associating with him and said they were unaware he was habitually abusing underage girls.Newly released court records have revved up interest again in the big names who associated with Epstein and Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison term for helping recruit and abuse Epstein’s victims.Many of those people have never been accused of any wrongdoing, but have nonetheless become the subject of a whirlwind of conspiracy theorie...

Crib videos offer clue to mysterious child deaths, showing seizures sometimes play a role

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 15:09:49 GMT

The last bedtime of 17-month-old Hayden Fell’s life was heartbreakingly normal. Crib video shows the toddler in pajamas playing happily as his parents and sister sang “Wheels on the Bus” with his twin brother.The next morning, Hayden’s dad couldn’t wake him. The tot had become one of several hundred seemingly healthy U.S. toddlers and preschoolers each year who suddenly die in their sleep and autopsies can’t tell why. But Hayden’s crib cam was recording all night — and offered a clue.Seizures during sleep are a potential cause of at least some cases of sudden unexplained death in childhood, or SUDC, researchers at NYU Langone Health reported Thursday after analyzing home monitoring video that captured the deaths of seven sleeping toddlers.Similar to SIDS in babies, SUDC is the term when these mysterious deaths occur any time after a child’s first birthday. Little is known about SUDC but some scientists have long suspected seizures may play a role. In addition to some genetics resear...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Despite receiving enough signatures to appear on the ballot, a transgender woman has been disqualified from an Ohio House race because she omitted her previous name, raising concern that other transgender candidates nationwide may face similar barriers.Vanessa Joy of was one of four transgender candidates running for state office in Ohio, largely in response to proposed restrictions of the rights of LGBTQ+ people. She was running as a Democrat in House District 50 — a heavily Republican district in Stark County, Ohio — against GOP candidate Matthew Kishman. Joy legally changed her name and birth certificate in 2022, which she says she provided to the Stark County Board of Elections for the March 19 primary race.But as Joy found out Tuesday, a little-known 1990s state law says that a candidate must provide any name changes within the last five years to qualify for the ballot.

Judge reduces bond for Penrose funeral home owner

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 15:09:49 GMT

COLORADO SPRINGS (KXRM) — During a hearing on Thursday, Jan. 4 for Jon Hallford, one of the owners accused of mistreating bodies at the Return to Nature Funeral Home in Penrose, decisions were made regarding the release of the arrest affidavit for Hallford, as well as a bond reduction.The first item discussed at the hearing in the El Paso County Court was the request to unseal the arrest affidavit, which has not been released in Colorado. Owners of Colorado funeral home where 190 decaying bodies found appear in court Hallford's defense attorney argued that the release of the affidavit -- which contains what he called "inadmissible evidence" along with photo evidence that is "beyond thought" -- would jeopardize Hallford's right to due process and could taint any potential jury pool if that evidence were to be made public.The prosecution argued that there is no case for keeping the affidavit sealed and that the potential to taint a jury pool is "speculative at best." The decision w...
