GOLDEN — Since quarterback John Matocha and offensive coordinator Pete Sterbick first began working with each other in the spring of 2019, they’ve had one goal in mind: Capture lightning in a bottle to win a title with the Colorado School of Mines football program.If there’s one team that can do it, it’s Mines.

America is using up its groundwater like there’s no tomorrow

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:49:36 GMT

Global warming has focused concern on land and sky as soaring temperatures intensify hurricanes, droughts and wildfires. But another climate crisis is unfolding, underfoot and out of view.Many of the aquifers that supply 90% of the nation’s water systems, and which have transformed vast stretches of America into some of the world’s most bountiful farmland, are being severely depleted. These declines are threatening irreversible harm to the American economy and society as a whole.The New York Times conducted one of the most comprehensive examinations of groundwater depletion nationwide and found that America’s life-giving resource is being exhausted in much of the country, and in many cases it won’t come back. Huge industrial farms and sprawling cities are draining aquifers that could take centuries or millenniums to replenish themselves, if they recover at all.States and communities are already paying the price.Groundwater loss is hurting breadbasket states like Kansas, where the ma...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:49:36 GMT

By DAVID KOENIG (AP Airlines Writer)DALLAS (AP) — One airline plans to find out if solitude-seeking travelers will pay a hefty extra charge to avoid sitting near babies and little kids.Corendon Airlines says that it will sell an adults-only zone — no one under 16 — on flights between Amsterdam and Curacao starting in November.

A wall or curtain will separate the section from the wailing masses farther back.The airline said on its website that it will charge passengers an extra reservation fee of 45 euros ($49) for the no-kids zone, rising to 100 euros ($109) for one of the extra-legroom seats.To an...

Did the LAPD mistakenly release its illegal drugs value list?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:49:36 GMT

A Los Angeles Police Department document that has been marked as "sensitive" may have been sent mistakenly to an independent news operation in Los Angeles.The document appears to show a breakdown of the wholesale and street value of illegal drugs in the Los Angeles area and was sent to L.A. Taco, an online news site that reports on the community and culture of the City of Angels.How the document got into the hands of the independent journalists can apparently be explained by a simple email snafu. According to L.A. Taco, a reporter reached out to the Police Department regarding a story about the price of street drugs and whether or not the LAPD accurately represented the value of illegal narcotics when announcing major busts. California transportation infrastructure no longer considered ‘high-risk’ Police departments across the country have long faced accusations that they artificially inflate the street value of drugs to make big busts seem more impressive.
