FORT COLLINS — In his biggest game as CSU Rams coach, Jay Norvell just made his biggest call.Norvell announced Monday morning that Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi will start for the Rams at quarterback against No. 18 CU in the Rocky Mountain Showdown at Folsom Field.“I just felt like the timing was right for Brayden to get that opportunity,” said Norvell, who brought Fowler-Nicolosti in to replace Clay Millen in a 50-24 season-opening loss to Washington State two weeks ago. “I’m not blaming Clay, by any means.”Fowler-Nicolosi started CSU’s win at Nevada last year while Millen was recovering from an injury.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is expected to sign into law a bill barring public school districts from banning books and curriculum related to gender and racial diversity.Assembly Bill 1078 passed in the state Senate last week, largely along party lines, and now heads to Newsom's desk.The bill had passed overwhelmingly in the Assembly in May - at around the same time the issue came to a head with the Temecula Valley Unified School District’s vote to reject elementary school curriculum that mentioned Harvey Milk, California’s first openly gay elected official."My question is, why even mention a pedophile?" School Board President Joseph Komrosky said at the time.Newsom publicly blasted the Board’s vote and threatened to fine the district $1.5 million.

Pixel Fold review: Google gets so much right!

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:57:29 GMT

Foldables make up just a small percentage of the overall smartphone market, but they are growing.Recently, I've been testing out the Google Pixel Fold, which is Google's first foldable and mixes aspects of both a phone and a tablet. While it's not perfect, it's a great start.The size is unique - it's like a passport, but heavier and thicker.Google Pixel Fold (Rich DeMuro)Google Pixel Fold (Rich DeMuro)The outer screen is 5.8 inches, while the unfolded inside screen is 7.6 inches. The device doesn’t open flat, and the crease is more prominent than on Samsung's foldables. You'll notice it more when using the device day to day, but it's not a dealbreaker.Compared to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 5, which has a narrow outside screen, I find the shorter, wider outside screen on the Pixel Fold much more useful.I used the Pixel Fold almost exclusively on my recent trip to Berlin and found that it’s a versatile companion.Photos are incredible thanks to Google's unmatched AI processing, but ironic...

California Democrat Barbara Lee rips Gavin Newsom over Feinstein appointment comments

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:57:29 GMT

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) criticized California Gov. Gavin Newsom's (D) comments that he would appoint a Black woman to be Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s replacement — but not someone running for the seat.Lee, who is Black, is running for the Senate in California. Feinstein is not running for reelection in 2024, but her health problems and absences from the Senate have raised questions about whether she'll complete her term.“I am troubled by the governor's remarks," Lee said in a Sunday statement. "The idea that a Black woman should be appointed only as a caretaker to simply check a box is insulting to countless Black women across this country who have carried the Democratic Party to victory election after election.""The perspective of Black women in the U.S. Senate is sorely needed — and needed for more than a few months. Governor Newsom knows this, which is why he made the pledge in the first place,” Lee added. "If the Governor intends to keep his promise and appoint a Black woman to t...
