As hot weather baked Colorado this week and forecasters anticipated hotter days to come, state health authorities warned of heat-related illnesses that increasingly send residents to hospitals.“Heat waves are becoming more common,” Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment officials warn in their latest public guidance on risks of heat exhaustion and stroke. “Heat-related illnesses can damage the brain and other vital organs.”State health authorities recommend that, when temperatures exceed 90 degrees for several days, residents “stay in an air-conditioned area” — difficult for workers whose jobs require outdoor activity and thousands of people living on the streets. Health officials also point to shopping malls, libraries, and other places with AC as options. “Even a few hours in air-conditioning can keep the body cool.”Drink water often, and avoid sugary drinks and alcohol, which lead to loss of body fluid, they advi...Westbound Interstate 70 near Genessee exit reopens after pickup fire

The battle for Taco Tuesday has come to an anticlimactic end.Wyoming-based "West-Mex" restaurant chain Taco John's is giving up its trademark to the phrase Taco Tuesday after a legal challenge from the nation's largest Mexican fast food chain.The fast food chain, which has owned the trademark for more than 40 years, announced Tuesday it would be letting go of the popular catchphrase and allowing its competitors to use it freely.In exchange, the restaurant chain challenged Taco Bell and LeBron James — two entities who have previously challenged the company's trademark, to make charitable donations, instead of using that same money in a prolonged legal battle.Taco John's said it will donate $100 per restaurant location to the non-profit organization Children of Restaurant Employees. The donation totals $40,000, the company said."We've always prided ourselves on being the home of Taco Tuesday, but paying millions of dollars to lawyers to defend our mark just doesn't feel like the ...Man detained by deputies while returning toy guns at mall

One day after California State University released a damning report about its mishandlings of sexual misconduct cases, the state auditor’s office has released an investigation of its own — one that calls for urgent, “systemwide changes” across the 23-campus network.The state auditor’s office reviewed 40 cases of alleged sexual harassment by employees of California State. In the process, it found the nation’s largest public university system repeatedly failed to address allegations of sexual harassment, revealing a lack of accountability at the highest level.The report noted that “campuses did not consistently count the number of reports of sexual harassment that they received.” But from what they did find, from 2018 to 2022, at least 1,251 employees at California State had been accused of sexual harassment allegations. Just 254 of those were investigated.At San Jose State, a school that has repeatedly made headlines for its mishandling of sexual misconduct complain...Latest news
