HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. (KDVR) -- Outside the Sonesta Hotel in Park Meadows, a memorial garden to Colin Grice is being constructed. Grice, a 57-year-old hotel manager, was found shot to death in his Highlands Ranch home last week.His wife, 55-year-old Victorine Grice was found dead inside her Douglas County jail cell Friday morning. Grice had been facing murder charges, and the cause of her death remains under investigation. Colin Grice's family says it's been a whirlwind of a week, beginning with a call that he had been killed. Colorado anti-domestic violence group urges victims to reach out for help "I was just dumbfounded, honestly," his sister Aden Beavers said. "Total shock. Total shock."But the family said it was in for another surprise, reading court documents for Victorine Grice.Those documents show Grice told 911 dispatchers, "My husband attacked me. Please help me.

National NAACP Convention continues in Boston

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:18:22 GMT

The 114th annual National NAACP Convention continued Saturday at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.This is the first time Boston has hosted the convention since 1982. It was originally slated to hots in 2020 but the event went remote due to the pandemic. Local leaders say it’s an opportunity for Boston to reintroduce itself to Black America. “We know the perception, the reputation we have as being one of America’s most racist cities,” said NAACP Boston’s Tanisha Sullivan. “This moment gives us the opportunity to reframe that. not to shy away from it but to acknowledge that we have some work to do, to share the work that we’ve been doing and the aspiration that we have going forward.”More than 2,200 local branches will submit what they believe should be the priorities for the convention. Organizers say topics will include AI, the Hollywood writers’ strike, racism, white nationalism, education, reproductive rights for wom...

‘We can go further’: Education Secretary Cardona speaks on legacy admissions, affirmative action decision

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:18:22 GMT

The Supreme Court’s affirmative action decision “was wrong,” Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said Wednesday, but has provided an opportunity to “go further” for diversity in higher education — steps like unraveling legacy admissions practices.“Legacy admissions is one of those things too that a lot of campuses are looking at saying, ‘If I can’t use race as a factor to diversify my campus and why am I allowed to use something like, you know, a person’s last name?'” Cardona said in a interview with the Herald Saturday ahead of his remarks at the NAACP National Convention in Boston. “So it’s an opportunity for us to come together and exceed the outcomes that were available during affirmative action.”Cardona’s remarks follow the DOE’s Office of Civil Rights’ decision to open an investigation into a complaint made against Harvard’s legacy and donor-related admissions preferences fi...

Mets agree to send 3-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer to Rangers, pending no-trade clause

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:18:22 GMT

The Mets’ tear-down is underway, with the team agreeing to trade veteran ace Max Scherzer to the Texas Rangers in a deal still pending his approval, the Daily News can confirm.The three-time Cy Young Award winner would have to waive his no-trade clause for the move to go through.Scherzer, 39, is in the second season of a three-year, $130 million contract. The final year of the deal is a player option worth $43.3 million.The right-hander is 9-4 this season but has pitched to a 4.01 ERA, his worst mark in more than a decade.The agreement between the Mets and the Rangers came a day after Scherzer said he wanted to speak with the Mets’ front office about its intentions before the Aug. 1 trade deadline. The Mets traded closer David Robertson to the Marlins on Thursday.“Probably got to have a conversation with the front office,” Scherzer said Friday after holding the Nationals to one run over seven innings in a win. “I mean, you’re trading our closer aw...

Bill Madden: Mets’ historically expensive disaster is mostly unexplainable after dealing Scherzer, Robertson

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:18:22 GMT

Even after Edwin Diaz went down for the season back in March, it was inconceivable the Mets, with their record highest payroll in history, would wind up sellers at the trading deadline. Yet here they are, raising the white flag over Flushing, beginning with the trading of David Robertson to the Marlins for a couple of low-level teenage “futures” plus agreeing to deal Max Scherzer to the Rangers and all but admitting they’ve been a $345 million catastrophe.And somewhere Steve Cohen is asking: “How did it come to this?” And, perhaps more importantly: “Where do we go from here?”How it came to this is mostly unexplainable. You could make the case that GM Billy Eppler perhaps didn’t do a great job of roster construction, but how does Jeff McNeil hit nearly 80 points below his league-leading .326 batting average last year? Or Pete Alonso’s slash line of .271/.352/.518 in 2022, shrink to .217/.315/.497? Or Francisco Lindor fall off from...
