ST. LOUS -- Billy Busch, the great-grandson of Adolphus Busch, shared his story of the Anheuser-Busch family dynasty. In his new book, "Family Reigns: The Extraordinary Rise and Epic Fall of an American Dynasty," Busch offers a firsthand account of the renowned beer family's history, from its inception to its remarkable growth. “Later on in life, I started realizing that I kind of grew up in a unique situation,” said Busch. “I started looking into who my great-grandfather was, how he got started here, how my grandfather took the company through prohibition.” Busch's unique upbringing within the Anheuser-Busch empire provided him with a perspective few could comprehend.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:03:54 GMT

The best thing to do during training camp is avoid overreactions, especially when the Broncos have only been in pads for a week. But man, this secondary has been legit to the point where it isn’t hard to imagine them being one of the best in the NFL this season.Just ask quarterback Russell Wilson. He has been a victim of the defensive backs’ airtight coverage since the start of camp. On Tuesday, Wilson tried to find wide receiver Courtland Sutton down the middle when safety Justin Simmons jumped in front of the throw for an interception. A day later, Simmons made Wilson pay for throwing in triple coverage, recording his third interception since the start of camp. The secondary’s dominance didn’t stop there. In the red zone, cornerback K’Waun Williams batted down Wilson’s pass at the line of scrimmage, then later picked him off mid-air.“When I watch them, the first thing you see is that they have ball skills, they’re smart, and they’re experienced,” head coach Sean Payton said....

CU Boulder creates technology that could allow users to digitize touch

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:03:54 GMT

A new 3D technology the size of a Scrabble board may be the key to sending physical touch, like holding the hand of a loved one, over long distances.University of Colorado Boulder researchers created a new shape-shifting gadget compact enough to fit on a card table that may be able to digitize touch. The device is made from a grid of robotic parts that can sense outside pressure and can move up, down and around.“As technology has progressed, we started with sending text over long distances, then audio and now video,” said Brian Johnson, one of two lead authors of the study, in a news release.  “But we’re still missing touch.”The technology has the potential to send touch digitally by creating 3D images of a hand, for example. It could then send the image to another device across the country or world, allowing the receiver to hold the sender’s hand. The device can already change its surface, shake a beaker filled with liquid, generate scrolling 3D text and move a ball around its surf...
