Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:17:42 GMT

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — State officials from around the country gathered at the White House to discuss solutions for providing affordable childcare to families.Some say federal funds from the Biden administration and Congress have allowed them to create innovative new programs they hope will spread to other states as childcare expenses force some parents out of the workforce. New program offers free community college tuition for in-demand jobs “The system we have right now just does not work,” Michigan state Sen. Kristen McDonald Rivet, a Democrat, said.Democratic New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said an influx of federal funds creates a huge opportunity. According to the governor, infrastructure money and pandemic relief mean states can spend less on previously planned projects and can use those funds to create childcare initiatives.“We've done nearly 40% raises in salaries, particularly for early childhood education,” Lujan Grisham said.Colorado universal pre-K program star...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:17:42 GMT

(KGET) – It should come as no surprise that the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are quite slim at roughly 1 in 292.2 million. But don't fret, because you still have better chances of achieving similarly exceptional accomplishments, like hitting a hole-in-one, meeting the president, or … being struck by lightning?Shocking, we know. What happens to unclaimed lottery tickets in Colorado? As the experts explain, there are several wildly unlikely occurrences that are still more common than picking the winning Powerball numbers. And most — aside from being zapped by a lightning bolt — seem downright delightful. Getting struck by lightningLet's get this one out of the way: According to the National Weather Service, you have a 1 in 15,300 chance of being struck by lightning, meaning you have a better chance at the lightning lotto than Powerball. In fact, the NWS reports that the U.S. averaged 43 reported lightning fatalities per year from 1989 to 2018.The odds of being struck also d...

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Nearly a dozen wild horses have died in the first 10 days of a big mustang roundup in Nevada, deaths that a Las Vegas congresswoman is calling tragic proof of the urgent need to outlaw helicopters to capture the animals on federal land.The 11 deaths so far include five young foals, four horses with broken necks and a stallion with a snapped rear leg that was chased by a helicopter and horseback rider as it tried to flee on three legs for 35 minutes before it was euthanized, according to witnesses. Denver’s mayor plans to house 1,000 homeless. Will it work? The horse that broke the leg jumping over a trap fence last Wednesday was a lead Palomino stallion called “Mr. Sunshine” by those who'd watched him roam wild over the years southeast of Elko. A longtime observer and defender of the mustangs caught the animal's struggle on video.“It made me physically ill to see what was done to that beautiful stallion I have known for years," said Laura Leigh, the founder of Ne...

2 plants blooming for the first time in 40 years at CU Boulder

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:17:42 GMT

BOULDER, Colo. (KDVR) — The University of Colorado’s campus in Boulder is experiencing a rare bloom of a plant that only shows its flowers once every half-century. Agave plants are common in the southwest but are not native to the Boulder area. Several were planted outside the campus’ 30th Street greenhouse in 1997. Almost three decades later, two have finally bloomed. “They’re very slow to mature. They’re about 30 to 40 years to fully mature,” John Clark, director of greenhouses for ecology and evolutionary biology at CU Boulder, said. According to Clark, the two plants began to change on May 12. He believes the unusually wet spring encouraged them to bloom. Headed to the lake? Check for toxic algae blooms “Of course, they have to be fully mature but we think the rain when they were fully mature helped spur them to flower,” he said. They sprout a large stalk resembling asparagus, which can grow 6 to 8 inches per day. When it reaches a height of about 15 feet, ...
