DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado Parks and Wildlife said a homeowner in Larkspur killed a mountain lion that walked onto his property and attacked his livestock.Thursday morning, CPW said it received a report of a mountain lion kill in Larkspur. When CPW rangers arrived at the residence, the homeowner told them he saw a mountain lion attack one of his sheep. The homeowner then shot and killed the lion.Can you legally kill a mountain lion in Colorado?CPW said they are not anticipating that any charges will be filed against the homeowner.According to CPW, you can legally hunt mountain lions in the state, but there are some rules to follow. Why did Jeffco wait to warn about the trail predator? If you are hunting the cat, you must apply for and carry a mountain lion license. Before a mountain lion license can be issued, hunters are required to have a mountain lion education certificate issued by CPW. Hunters will only receive the certificate after completing CPW’s mountain lio...New Hampshire governor asks for federal assistance for damages from ‘severe winter storm’

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu has requested federal emergency assistance to repair damage from severe storms earlier this year and over the past month or so.“I request that a major disaster be declared for the State of New Hampshire,” Sununu wrote in a letter to President Biden dated today, adding that a severe winter storm and associated flooding between the end of April and the beginning of May “resulted in damages” in Belknap, Carroll, Coos, Merrimack and Strafford Counties “and overwhelmed State and local resources requiring an immediate and urgent response.”“Given the severity and magnitude of this natural disaster and the events that have transpired during the April 30 – May 1, 2023, incident and since then, Federal assistance is necessary to supplement the efforts and available resources of the state and local governments to recover from disaster related losses,” he continued later in the letter.He wrote that the damages “were concentrated in Carroll County where the heavie...The backup driver in the 1st death by a fully autonomous car pleads guilty to endangerment

By JACQUES BILLEAUD AND ANITA SNOW (Associated Press)PHOENIX (AP) — The backup Uber driver for a self-driving vehicle that killed a pedestrian in suburban Phoenix in 2018 pleaded guilty Friday to endangerment in the first fatal collision involving a fully autonomous car.Maricopa County Superior Court Judge David Garbarino, who accepted the plea agreement, sentenced Rafaela Vasquez, 49, to three years of supervised probation for the crash that killed 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg. Vasquez told police that Herzberg “came out of nowhere” and that she didn’t see Herzberg before the March 18, 2018, collision on a darkened Tempe street. Vasquez had been charged with negligent homicide, a felony. She pleaded guilty to an undesignated felony, meaning it could be reclassified as a misdemeanor if she completes probation.Authorities say Vasquez was streaming the television show “The Voice” on a phone and looking down in the moments before Uber’s Volvo XC...‘The Beanie Bubble’ review: Zach Galifianakis shines in engaging toy story

If only because it is the feature debut of co-directors Kristin Gore and Damian Kulash Jr. (singer and director of the band OK Go), it’s surprising how consistently engaging and entertaining “The Beanie Bubble” proves to be.Already given a limited theatrical release, the comedy-drama built around the wild Beanie Baby craze of the 1990s from Imagine Entertainment debuts this week on Apple TV+.Penned by Gore (“Saturday Night Live,” “Futurama”), it is based loosely on Zac Bissonnette’s book “The Great Beanie Baby Bubble: Mass Delusion and the Dark Side of Cute,” with significant liberties taken for narrative purposes.Related ArticlesMovies | ‘Underrated’: Why Stephen Curry finally agreed to star in a documentary Movies | Waiting for ‘Oppenheimer?’ Here are 10 films about the bomb to watch now “There are parts of the truth you just can’t make up,” reads text that greets the viewer in the film’s opening seconds. “The rest, we did.”Of all the fine choices m...Biden jokes that Republicans may impeach him because inflation is starting to cool down

By JOSH BOAK and SEUNG MIN KIM (Associated Press)AUBURN, Maine (AP) — President Joe Biden — buoyed by new signs the economy is continuing on the upswing — took a swipe on Friday at House Republicans’ flirtations with an impeachment inquiry, quipping that GOP lawmakers may decide to impeach him because inflation is cooling down. Standing in a textile manufacturing facility in Auburn Biden pointed to inflation statistics that showed the U.S. has the lowest rate of price increases among the world’s biggest economies. Though he was careful to say he was not taking a victory lap on the economy, Biden suggested that his Republican opponents in Congress may need to find a fresh line of attack against him because of improving economic circumstances.“Maybe they’ll decide to impeach me because it’s coming down,” Biden said. “I don’t know. I’d love that one.”Earlier this week, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy made his mo...Patriots training camp Day 3: Bill O’Brien’s offense opens up, but where are the weapons?

FOXBORO — Bill O’Brien may prove to be the Patriots’ savior this season, even if only for his Xs and Os.But through the start of training camp, O’Brien might already be running short on fishes and loaves.As the Patriots expanded their increasingly clever offensive playbook Friday, three of their five best pass-catchers literally came up empty. Through three training camp practices, wide receivers Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton and tight end Mike Gesicki have yet to catch a single pass during competitive team drills. Meanwhile, sixth-round rookie wideout Demario Douglas caught four Friday — by himself.It should be noted the Pats offense continues to operate within the tight confines of the red zone against a defense that expects pass and rolled over 10 starters from last season. But if Gesicki, Bourne and Thornton fail to play to their potential, the schemes and game plans O’Brien draws up won’t matter. Football is a game of matchups.Not...Quarterback Academy passing with flying colors thanks to Mike McCarthy
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:50:18 GMT
When Mike McCarthy started M2 Quarterback Academy a little over five years ago, he had a small, but loyal, client base of 15-20 players who wanted to get better.Now? Those players still want to get better, but McCarthy is working with a way bigger pool of signal callers.“This year we worked with over 250 kids from all different states, all throughout New England and outside of New England,” McCarthy said.But pure numbers don’t do justice for just how deep McCarthy’s footprint is here. If you’re talking about quarterbacks in Massachusetts, the number of scholarship offers has exploded in recent years, and McCarthy has played a big role in that. Actually, it might be tougher to find quarterbacks who have not worked with McCarthy in recent years.“My passion is seeing these guys develop, and seeing these guys grow, and then getting an opportunity to play at the next level,” McCarthy said.He’s succeeding in that.

Fruit and fruit juices are among the most refreshing and delicious things to enjoy in hot weather. So it’s probably no surprise that the new wave of Hazy IPAs are so popular. They’re occasionally called juicy IPAs, after all, and their flavors often remind us of orange or grapefruit juice. Hazy IPAs are relative newcomers to the brewing scene, but brewers have been using fruit to make beer for millennia.One of the earliest known beverages made with fruit was found in Northern China and dated from 9,000 years ago: Pottery jars found in the Neolithic village of Jiahu in Henan province contained the residue of a mixed fermentation drink made with rice, honey and fruit.Molecular archaeologist Patrick McGovern, from the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, asked Dogfish Head Craft Brewery to re-create the drink. The result was Chateau Jiahu, brewed with orange blossom honey, muscat grape juice, barley malt and hawthorn fruit and then fermented on sake yeast....Moscow blames Kyiv for attacks in south Russia as Kremlin forces hit Ukrainian buildings

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces on Friday struck the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro and pounded a key village in the southeast that Ukraine claimed to have recaptured in its grinding counteroffensive, while Moscow accused Kyiv of firing two missiles at southern Russia and wounding 20 people.President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, meanwhile, marked Ukraine’s Statehood Day by reaffirming the country’s sovereignty — a rebuke to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who used his claim that Ukraine didn’t exist as a nation to justify his invasion.“Now, like more than a thousand years ago, our civilizational choice is unity with the world,” Zelenskyy said in a speech on a square outside St. Michael’s Monastery in Kyiv. “To be a power in world history. To have the right to its national history -– of its people, its land, its state. And of our children -– all future generations of the Ukrainian people.
