German-style Denver brewery opens huge new biergarten and production facility

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:51:53 GMT

As the craft beer industry in Colorado has matured and settled in the two years since the end of the pandemic, there has been a spate of small buyouts, closures and consolidations.

A Colorado freezer is out of space to store ice samples up to 4.5 million years old

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:51:53 GMT

A minus-40-degree vault concealed in a federal government warehouse west of Denver holds the climate science equivalent of gold: the United States’ growing collection of ice from around a warming planet, half a million cylindrical cores up to 4.5 million years old.The ice can reveal climate history and its safekeeping has become a global priority as scientists race to calculate what humanity faces.Climate scientists seeking clues in the ice head to the U.S. Geological Survey’s regional headquarters, where they bundle up and pass through massive swinging doors into the 8,000-square-foot walk-in freezer —  the largest ice repository in the world. Outside at a loading dock, trucks arrive delivering new ice extracted from Antarctica, Greenland and high mountain glaciers.But the freezer is outdated and full, and a long-planned replacement won’t be constructed for two years. This has forced Ice Core Facility curator Curtis La Bombard to begin a culling process to d...

Colorado legislators push to increase regulation of eating disorder clinics amid patient complaints, state probe

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:51:53 GMT

Colorado legislators will propose new regulations for providers of eating disorder treatment in the coming months, amid calls from advocates and patients to crack down on practices that one legislator labeled “barbaric.”The coming legislation, which will debut early next year when state lawmakers reconvene, would require providers to follow specific requirements around weigh-ins, the use of feeding tubes and isolation, and to offer gender-appropriate accommodations. Legislators considered similar requirements earlier this year but dropped them because the new regulations would cost $870,000 to implement.The resurrected proposal would task the Behavioral Health Administration with overseeing treatment facilities in the state. Colorado, and in particular Denver, has become a national hub for eating disorder care and has seen an increase in patients amid a national surge in disordered eating diagnoses. The state health department regulates eating disorder clinics as it does...

Thoa Nguyen struggles with the feeling that she disappointed her family “by leaving the family business that was built for me,” she said Monday on the final episode of “Holiday Baking Championship,” a competition show that has been airing on the Food Network.But after making it into the final four — and garnering praise from celebrity chef judges Carla Hall, Duff Goldman and Nancy Fuller — the owner of Aurora’s Banh & Butter Bakery Cafe is starting to feel like the risk she took to open her own business is paying off.Nguyen didn’t take the crown, but she put up a good fight, racking up small wins along the way.“I never really got to show my family that this was all for a good reason before, but this makes it all worth it,” Nguyen said. “If I didn’t branch out, I would never have had the confidence to be on a show like this. Winning it would have just been a cherry on top.”Nguyen’s parents owned New Saigon Vietnamese restaurant for 30 years. But before sel...

XBB.1.5, BA.2.86, JN.1: How to understand the coronavirus alphabet soup

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 20:51:53 GMT

By Jen Christensen | CNNThe virus that causes Covid-19 has more letters to describe its many derivatives than a bowl of alphabet soup.Omicron and Delta were names for the coronavirus that people quickly learned and used in the height of the pandemic. But at this point, most non-scientists probably could not name the version of the virus that’s set to become the next dominant one around the world. (It’s JN.1, by the way.)Although the common cold doesn’t get as many names – at least not the ones that make headlines – the specificity with which scientists talk about SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, matters because it is still such a problem.A virus like this one has a lot of different names because it is changing constantly, and scientists need a common language to talk about a specific version that they’re seeing in a particular community or that they’re working with to develop treatments, vaccines and tests.“Bob the Virus” or “Susan the Variant” would probably be easier to...
