Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:18:09 GMT

BROOMFIELD — As the ball continued to slip away from reigning 4A football king Broomfield Friday, so too did its chance of securing the few things that were on the line ahead of next week’s start to the postseason.Eventually, the Eagles woke up — very much to the relief of their bundled-up home fans at Elizabeth Kennedy Stadium — and their 28-19 comeback victory over Heritage clinched their second straight league title and home-field advantage likely through at least the quarterfinals.Of course, this performance was spilling over in turnovers and penalties and won’t be confused for what will be needed to repeat. And they themselves probably won’t be mistaken for the big, bad heavyweight that entered last year’s playoffs undefeated.It did show plenty of mettle, though.Broomfield (8-2, 4-0 4A Metro 2) shook off turnovers on its first two drives and rallied from two-touchdowns back to take a lead into the fourth quarter.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:18:09 GMT

"This case law established guidelines for evaluating the constitutionality of checkpoints. Prior public notice was one of eight requirements also known as the Ingersoll 8." Traffic stop of a mother and young son was a ‘case of mistaken identity,’ Sacramento Police say In 1984, California conducted its first official checkpoint in Burlingame, according to casetext.com.

Besieged Gaza cut off from the world after heavy Israeli bombardment knocks out communications

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:18:09 GMT

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel struck targets in the Gaza Strip with stepped-up bombardment and artillery fire overnight into Saturday, knocking out communications and creating a near-blackout of information by largely cutting off the besieged enclave’s 2.3 million people from contact with the outside world.The Israeli military said it was expanding ground operations in the territory, signaling it was moving closer to an all-out invasion of Gaza, where it has vowed to crush the ruling Hamas militant group after its bloody incursion in southern Israel three weeks ago.Explosions from continuous airstrikes lit up the sky over Gaza City for hours after nightfall Friday. The Palestinian telecom provider, Paltel, said the bombardment caused “complete disruption” of internet, cellular and landline services. The cutoff meant that casualties from strikes and details of ground incursions could not immediately be known. Some satellite phones continued to function. Already plunged into darkness ...
