Missouri appeals court rules against ballot summary language that described 'dangerous' abortions

Published Sun, 02 Mar 2025 03:30:59 GMT

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri appeals court ruled Tuesday against Republican-written summaries of abortion-rights ballot measures that described several proposed amendments as allowing “dangerous and unregulated abortions until live birth.” A three-judge panel of the Western District Court of Appeals found the summaries written by Republican Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, who is running for governor in 2024, are politically partisan. Ballot summaries are used on Missouri ballots to help voters understand sometimes lengthy and complex constitutional amendments and policy changes. Ashcroft’s original description of the amendments, which could go on the ballot in 2024 if supporters gather enough voter signatures, would have asked voters whether they want to “allow for dangerous, unregulated, and unrestricted abortions, from conception to live birth, without requiring a medical license or potentially being subject to medical malpractice.”But the appeals court panel wrote that allowi...

SLU pumpkin carving contest serves as break from midterms, exams

Published Sun, 02 Mar 2025 03:30:59 GMT

ST. LOUIS – Students from the Saint Louis University School of Science and Engineering took a break from midterms and exams to participate in a pumpkin carving contest.Fourteen teams of students showcased their creativity for one of three cash prizes: $1,000 to the winner, $500 for second place, and $250 for third place.“The requirements for this were that students picked up a pumpkin and the students had to convey the science and engineering fields. And how do they convey that in the pumpkin as their medium?" Scott Sell, Ph.D., Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education in the School of Science and Engineering, said.The only trouble with these building materials is time.“We’re going to have to work through that for next year,” Amy Price, outreach coordinator for the School of Science and Engineering, said. “The competition began last week. Then, the students went on fall break. So we’ve seen some of the decomposition of the pumpkins. So, maybe we’ll have to incorporate that next year.”

Through four games, Denver Nuggets’ second unit doesn’t look like the work in progress it’s supposed to be

Published Sun, 02 Mar 2025 03:30:59 GMT

One of Michael Malone’s core coaching philosophies with the Nuggets is rooted in an old-school but obvious idea.“What I do now obviously is trying to have Nikola (Jokic) or Jamal (Murray) on the floor at all times, and that’s something that my father would always talk about,” Malone said Monday before the Nuggets defeated Utah and improved to 4-0. “Whether it was a guy like Phil Jackson always having either Scottie (Pippen) or Michael (Jordan) on the floor, you want to have one of your horses available and on the court at all times.”That makes it easy to credit Denver’s success at any given moment to whichever of those two players is on the floor. But as for who is surrounding Murray or Jokic, this season was expected to be one big never-ending adjustment. No more Bruce Brown. No more Jeff Green. Some bench assembly required.So far, somehow, the system appears seamless.It’s only four games, but a sample size is starting to accumulate f...

The elected district attorney in Colorado’s 11th Judicial District launched a baseless investigation of a judge after becoming frustrated by his unfavorable rulings in the high-profile Barry Morphew murder case, state authorities alleged in a disciplinary complaint filed Monday.District Attorney Linda Stanley pursued a domestic violence investigation into then-District Judge Ramsey Lama after he issued a series of rulings against prosecutors during the case against Morphew, who was charged at the time with killing his then-missing wife Suzanne Morphew in a prosecution that later was dropped.The 11th Judicial District includes Fremont, Chaffee, Park and Custer counties.Stanley ordered an investigator with her office to interview the judge’s ex-wife about whether the judge had ever been abusive during their marriage, and whether that rumored history might be influencing his rulings in the Morphew case, according to a 20-page formal disciplinary complaint filed against Stan...

BOULDER — Coach Prime had some choice words about the alleged Rose Bowl crime.“I think that’s a travesty,” CU Buffs football coach Deion Sanders said of the theft of players and staff members’ belongings while they were playing UCLA at the Rose Bowl on Saturday evening in Pasadena, Calif.Sanders, whose 4-4 Buffs (1-4 Pac-12) host Oregon State (6-2, 3-2) at 8 p.m. Saturday at Folsom Field, said CU is assembling a list of the missing items — jewelry, personal and football items, according to Pasadena authorities — and will seek financial reimbursement if the stolen items can’t be recovered.“This is the Rose Bowl, this is ‘The Grandaddy Of Them All,'” Sanders said. “I’m sure grandpa has some money. Grandpa should have some money to give these kids. … They might not be able to get their items back but (someone) should be able to reimburse them.”Coach Prime also appealed on the NCAA to intervene.“I ...
