(NEXSTAR) — If you're looking to move to a Colorado suburb, there may be a number of aspects you're considering — what are the nearest schools like, is it a walkable area, how close is it to your job are all relatively common questions. You’re also likely wondering how safe the area is. As you may expect, there are a number of things that can impact the perceived safety of the suburb. SmartAsset, a personal finance website, reviewed 370 suburbs across the 100 largest cities in the U.S. and analyzed them based on multiple safety-related metrics: violent crime rates and property crime rates based on FBI data as well as rates of adults engaging in excessive drinking and deaths related to traffic accidents and drug poisonings from County Health Rankings.Overall, SmartAsset found suburbs on the East Coast and in the Midwest were among the safest.

‘It is not easy to be a Christian in Europe,’ Orbán tells Georgian PM

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:42:46 GMT

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán spoke of the hurdles faced by Christians in Europe during talks with his Georgian counterpart Irakli Garibashvili in Tbilisi on Thursday. Religion was a big theme of the Hungarian leader’s trip to the South Caucasus nation as the two prime ministers visited a monastery together with their spouses and commended each other for upholding Christian values.“It is not easy to be a Christian in Europe, to govern a Christian government in Europe,” Orbán said as he shared his concerns that Christian traditions are “doomed to fail” unless they can be protected. Speaking in support of Georgia’s European aspirations, Orbán expressed disappointment at the EU’s decision not to grant Georgia membership candidate status “while it was given to countries that are far inferior to Georgia in terms of development.”Three countries applied for EU membership last year, with Ukraine and Moldova granted candidate status while the Commission said that ...

Polish parties scramble for coal miners’ vote in knife-edge election

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:42:46 GMT

WARSAW — They may be aging, fading in influence and dwindling in number, but Poland’s coal miners might just help swing the country’s nail-biting election.Parties are fighting hard to win coal miners’ backing ahead of Sunday’s vote — even if it means making them empty promises.Poland still produces 70 percent of its power from hard coal and lignite, and counts 80,000 miners backed by powerful trade unions mainly concentrated in the country’s southern region of Silesia.That also happens to be a swing region in an election that’s being pitched as an existential battle for the future of the country. The two main parties — Donald Tusk’s pro-EU Civic Coalition and Jarosław Kaczyński’s nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party — are scrambling for every extra vote as POLITICO’s poll of polls shows neither one is expected to win enough seats to rule alone.“This is very important region,” said Zdzisław Krasnodębski, a PiS MEP on the European Parliament’s energy committ...

Ukrainians in Israel — from one war zone to another

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:42:46 GMT

KYIV — Viktoriia Gryshchenko, an intellectual property rights specialist from Kyiv, arrived in Israel only 10 days ago, looking forward to a temporary break from Russia’s war on her homeland. “But I only escaped from war into another war. And I say that with a bitter smile on my face,” said Gryshchenko, who had not left Kyiv since the start of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine more than 19 months ago. On the morning of October 7, she awoke in Petah Tikva, a city 10 kilometers east of Tel Aviv, just as if she were back in Kyiv on February 24, 2022, as Hamas launched thousands of missiles at Israel. In addition to rocket barrages, Hamas militants stormed into Israel, killing hundreds and kidnapping dozens more. In response, Israel launched a large-scale assault and siege of Gaza. “I can compare both wars. And Hamas is acting just like Russia. Identical attacks, identical atrocities,” Gryshchenko told POLITICO. “I can see this is the same evil that came...

Johns Hopkins DL Luke Schuermann drawing NFL attention: ‘His statistics don’t look real’

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:42:46 GMT

Before he developed into a three-year starting defensive end for Johns Hopkins football, Luke Schuermann was a high school student in St. Louis who was unsure whether he was destined to continue his career at the college level.“When I first started playing high school football, my thought process was, ‘Oh, I’ll enjoy it, but I don’t really think I want to play in college,’ he said. “Then I kind of had a change of mind and decided to go in that direction.”Schuermann’s choice seems prophetic. The 6-foot-4, 255-pound senior defensive lineman is the two-time reigning Centennial Conference Defensive Player of the Year and ranks second in the league in both sacks (five) and tackles for loss (8 1/2). The Blue Jays (5-0, 1-0 conference) are ranked No. 7 in the most recent American Football Coaches Association poll and sit just behind Muhlenberg (5-0, 2-0) in the race for the league title.And that decision might continue to pay dividend...

Chicago Bears secondary could get some help — and it won’t have to defend against Minnesota Vikings’ Justin Jefferson

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:42:46 GMT

The Chicago Bears could receive a boost in the secondary this week just in time for an NFC North matchup against the Minnesota Vikings — though the Bears won’t have to face star wide receiver Justin Jefferson.The Bears designated nickel cornerback Kyler Gordon to return from injured reserve Monday, one day before the Vikings reportedly decided to put Jefferson on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. Gordon had surgery on his broken hand after the season opener and missed the last four games. The Bears now have 21 days to put Gordon back on the 53-man roster.Coach Matt Eberflus declined to delve into injury updates Monday as the Bears returned to Halas Hall from their mini-bye following Thursday’s 40-20 victory over the Washington Commanders. The statuses of safety Eddie Jackson (foot) and cornerback Jaylon Johnson (hamstring) also will be worth monitoring this week after both missed extended time in the last month.But Eberflus did speak of the value of getti...

Patriots might as well see what they have in Malik Cunningham at this point

FOXBORO — It would be difficult for the Patriots to be worse on offense, so entering desperation mode at just the one-third mark of the season, Bill O’Brien and the offense might as well pull out all of the stops Week 6 against the Raiders.Yes, that should include elevating preseason hero Malik Cunningham, a quarterback/wide receiver-hybrid, from the practice squad and seeing if he can provide a spark on offense.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | J.C.
