Christian Glass. (Family photo provided by Rathod Mohamedbhai law firm)The criminal cases against two former Clear Creek County sheriff’s deputies charged in the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Christian Glass will move forward after a judge ruled there was enough evidence to support their indictments.Both Andrew Buen and Kyle Gould argued to Fifth Judicial District Judge Catherine Cheroutes that there was insufficient evidence to support the charges against them.Buen faces charges of second-degree murder, reckless endangerment and official misconduct for shooting and killing Glass on June 11, 2022. Gould faces charges of criminally negligent homicide and reckless endangerment for his role in remotely supervising the incident with Glass.Glass called 911 after he crashed his car on an embankment in Silver Plume and told the call-taker he was afraid of “skinwalkers” and people chasing him.

Avalanche “have to focus on ourselves,” but OT against Edmonton felt like potential Western Conference Final foreshadowing

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:47:26 GMT

A week before tax day in the United States, the Avalanche and Edmonton authored a new chapter in another one of life’s certainties — or at least this NHL season’s — on Tuesday night.When these teams occupy the same sheet of ice, 60 minutes simply doesn’t suffice.Less certain, but present all the same as a weeknight Ball Arena sellout crowd roared and the Oilers ultimately prevailed, 2-1, was the sense that these teams could right be back here in a few weeks, squared off for the second straight year in the Western Conference Final.Vegas and Dallas may well have something to say about preventing a rematch, but with three first-round opponents still in play for the Avalanche and just two regular-season games remaining, a playoff environment doubled as one primed for looking ahead.Well, unless you happen to have a locker in Colorado’s dressing room.“I don’t think (a playoff rematch) is really in our mind yet,” defenseman Logan O’Connor cautioned after the overtime loss. “We have t...

Electronic cigarette maker Juul Labs will pay Colorado nearly $32 million to settle a lawsuit over marketing practices aimed at teenagers, the Colorado Attorney General’s Office announced Wednesday.The $31.7 million payment to Colorado is part of the $462 million that Juul Labs agreed to pay to six states and the District of Columbia to settle claims that the company illegally marketed its electronic cigarettes to young people and misrepresented the health risks associated with vaping.The payment is in addition to the $438 million that Juul Labs last year agreed to pay to 33 states over similar claims.“This settlement is a victory for the state of Colorado and everyone who fell victim to Juul’s reckless, deceptive and unconscionable marketing tactics,” Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said in a news release.The state sued Juul Labs in 2020 after a nearly yearlong investigation into the company’s practices. The state found Juul targeted “cool kids” who would want to ...

Blue, jellyfish-like blobs known as by-the-wind sailors, or Velella velella, continue to wash ashore by the millions along Southern California’s coast this week. While it might look like a massive die-off or another catastrophic event, experts say it is perfectly natural and normal.“We’ve seen (Velella velella) colonies wash up along our coastline over the years,” said Cassandra Davis, manager of volunteer programs at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. “In 2014 and 2015, trillions of them washed up along the eastern Pacific coast.”By-the-wind sailors washed ashore by the thousands at Emma Wood State Beach in Ventura County, California, on April 11, 2023.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:47:26 GMT

Not every sex session will be mind-blowing! And if an uneventful sexy time is going to be the case, there’s no shame in wanting to just skip it. However, that is the case for some Americans — only 36% of the ones polled by OnePoll (that LELO commissioned) rated their sex life as “excellent.”So, what do some Americans do to keep things spicy in the bedroom?How important is it to have a healthy sex life?Most of us already know — and even experts agree — that a great sex life plays an important role in a relationship.

Unfortunately, among the 5,000 Americans that were surveyed, only 36% ranked their sex life as exceptional.This doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re miserable either. In a statement by Luka Matutinovic (Chief Marketing Officer of LELO), they stated, “...
