Given CU’s high expectations as a team, however, Wetta wanted to make sure she was on the list of dependable weapons.“Coming into the season, I was really focusing on looking for my scoring opportunities more – not because I really wanted to, but because that’s what my team needed from me,” the junior point guard said. “I feel like I’ve been doing a good job of that and still contributing what I have been contributing (for three years).”So far, so good.Wetta’s continued development has been one of the many bright spots for the eighth-ranked Buffs (10-1), who open Pac-12 play against No. 12 Utah (10-2) on Saturday at the CU Ev...

Home decor: Lessons learned from 2023, from moving concierges to second homes

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:08:33 GMT

Over the last 12 months, we’ve covered a lot of home topics, from the philosophical (the meaning of home) to the practical (preventing household accidents). As I wrap up the year with this two-part retrospective, here are six of my favorite findings from the second half of 2023:In July, after nearly 30 days of non-stop travel, I rediscovered how much I love being home. Doing simple tasks, like feeding the dogs, drying the dishes and making the bed, made me almost tearful and reminded me how important small rituals are.Lesson: It’s easy to take things for granted, so I listed 21 reasons I love being home, from having my whole wardrobe available to seeing the familiar view out my windows and knowing no one else in the world has the same view.In August, lightning struck a cable line between my house and my neighbor’s, zapping both. My neighbor’s house bore the brunt. They lost their air conditioner, three TV boxes, internet, cable, water heater, and smart lighting system for an e...

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:08:33 GMT

By Marshall Cohen, Zachary Cohen, Jeremey Herb and Katelyn Polantz | CNNTwo days before the January 6 insurrection, the Trump campaign’s plan to use fake electors to block President-elect Joe Biden from taking office faced a potentially crippling hiccup: The fake elector certificates from two critical battleground states were stuck in the mail.So, Trump campaign operatives scrambled to fly copies of the phony certificates from Michigan and Wisconsin to the nation’s capital, relying on a haphazard chain of couriers, as well as help from two Republicans in Congress, to try to get the documents to then-Vice President Mike Pence while he presided over the Electoral College certification.The operatives even considered chartering a jet to ensure the files reached Washington, DC, in time for the January 6, 2021, proceeding, according to emails and recordings obtained by CNN.The new details provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the chaotic last-minute effort to keep Donald Trump in office....

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:08:33 GMT

As South Korean police on Thursday defended their aggressive investigation of “Parasite” star Lee Sun-kyun for alleged drug use, the country’s entertainment industry was reeling from his death, in part because he is the latest popular performer to die under tragic circumstances in recent years.Prior to Lee’s death Wednesday, 11 other prominent South Korean actors, musicians and other performers — most in their 20s and 30s — have died in suspected suicides, accidents and other incidents, one of which was a homicide and others that have been labeled “mysterious,” according to a list compiled by the Daily Mail.It’s believed that the 48-year-old Lee died by suicide, as the film and TV actor reportedly despaired over the highly publicized nature of the police investigation, which had forced him to drop out of a major film project in October and was causing serious damage to his reputation.This image released by Neon shows Sun-kyun Lee...
