(Season 1 debuted last year while Sanders was still coaching at Jackson State University in Mississippi.)The state office — part of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (COEDIT) — said the $4.9 million spend could result in $500,000 in rebates to SMAC Product...

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 16:20:02 GMT

HOUSTON (KTVX) — If you can get a scientist to say "wow," then you're in pretty impressive territory. According to NASA's OSIRIS-REx asteroid researchers, they've been saying "wow" quite a bit since their asteroid sample landed on Earth.This is only the beginning. They haven't even opened the canister with the actual asteroid sample yet, said Sample Analyst Dr. Daniel Glavin.“We picked the right asteroid, and we brought back the right samples," Glavin said. "This stuff is an astrobiologist dream.”NASA held a press conference on Oct. 11 from the Johnson Space Center, in Houston to show samples from the OSIRIS-REx Mission.

Navarrette: Border walls have limits, in the U.S. and in Israel

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 16:20:02 GMT

What does the vicious sneak attack by Hamas terrorists against Israel — which has sparked a new eruption of the old war in the Middle East — have to do with U.S. immigration policy?Quite a bit, actually.As a Mexican American journalist who has written about immigration for more than three decades, I have for many years heard Republicans and, yes, also Democrats imply that border barriers are a kind of silver bullet, arguing that they would deter the smugglers who make hundreds of millions of dollars each year bringing illegal drugs and undocumented immigrants into the United States to satisfy America’s thirst for both.Incredibly, there are Americans who know so little about desperation that they believe human beings will make their way across hundreds of miles of dangerous terrain to the U.S.-Mexico border, see a giant wall, and then simply shrug and walk back home.I’ve visited the border several times, in California, Texas and Arizona.
