A private ranch is seeking Colorado environmental regulators’ permission to inject the Blue River with phosphorus a chemical regulated as a pollutant as part of an experiment that could help improve trout habitat at a popular high-country fishing destination.
Kremmling-based Blue Valley Ranch, owned by the billionaire philanthropist Paul Tudor Jones II, proposes beginning the project as soon as next summer on an 8-mile stretch of the river running through its 25,000-acre ranch, which is located on both sides of the river between Green Mountain Reservoir and Colorado River.

New Delhi, Dec 26 (IANS) A rising tide of antibiotic-resistant bacteria if left unchecked, could kill an estimated 10 million people annually by 2050 was a fact known in the pre-Corona era and the Covid-19 situation has now put millions at risk by increasing their resistance to the antibiotics, warn researchers.
To help address this alarming situation, researchers at University of Colorado Boulder in the US have discovered a chemical compound that works with a host s innate immune response to push past cellular barriers that help bacteria resist antibiotics.

Large-scale global forecasting and on-the-ground observations need to meld into one system to better predict and prevent wide-spread flooding disasters, according to an international research team who published a short view in A glocal global to local hydrometeorological solution for floods is considered to be critical for better preparedness, mitigation, and management of different types of significant precipitation-caused flooding, which happen extensively almost every year and in many countries, such as China, India and the United States, said paper author Huan Wu, professor and deputy director in the Guangdong Province Key Laboratory for Climate Change and Natural Disaster
Researchers identify new weapon to battle the rising tide of antibiotic-resistant bacteria
As scientists around the globe wage war against a novel, deadly virus, one University of Colorado Boulder lab is working on new weapons to battle a different microbial threat: a rising tide of antibiotic-resistant bacteria which, if left unchecked, could kill an estimated 10 million people annually by 2050. The COVID-19 situation is definitely putting us at risk for increasing resistance to antibiotics, so it s more important now than ever that we come up with alternative treatments, said Corrie Detweiler, a professor of molecular, cellular and developmental biology who has spent her career seeking those alternatives.
The Dominion Voting Systems employee who went into hiding after social media users placed a $1 million bounty on his head has made a virtual appearance in the courts and his 52-page lawsuit filed December 22 in Denver District Court targets President Donald Trump’s campaign, multiple media outlets, former Trump attorney Sidney Powell and an outspoken Castle Pines businessman, among other defendants.
Eric Coomer works as director of product security and strategy for Dominion Voting Systems, the Denver-based company that s been the subject of nationwide scrutiny amid rumors that it rigged the election in favor of President-elect Joseph Biden. Although everyone from Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency officials to outgoing U.S. Attorney General William Barr has said that there is no evidence of widespread, election-altering fraud (and Dominion has repeatedly debunked the allegations on its Setting the Record Straight website page), the rumors continue.
