CBD coffee shop in Platt Park targets fall opening

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 09:37:54 GMT

A new Platt Park coffee shop is going all in on CBD.Lindsey Sozio, owner of Lavender Coffee Boutique, is opening a one-stop-shop for CBD coffee, teas, and retail items at 1219 S. Pearl St. this fall.“CBD is a really interesting opportunity,” Sozio said. “It’s been around, it’s not an easy space to play in, and we don’t feel like anyone is doing it well enough.”Lavender Coffee Boutique isn’t the first Denver coffee shop to offer CBD. Blue Sparrow, for example, sells a CBD iced latte, and SloHi Coffee can add CBD into any cup of joe and sells Sträva CBD coffee beans.Sozio said Lavender’s beans are sourced from Costa Rica and Peru, and are infused with 15 mg of CBD per serving, as opposed to adding an oil to the brewed coffee as some shops do.Lavender will also sell her favorite CBD products like face lotions and bath salts. And traditionalists will still be able to get CBD-free coffee.“We’re just a regular local coffee shop that’s a really nice environment to come into and we’ve got t...

CSU Rams eye Year 2 leap under Jay Norvell: “There’s not a team on our schedule we don’t match up well against.”

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 09:37:54 GMT

From 3-9 to the Fiesta Bowl in a single season?It may sound like lunacy to those outside Fort Collins, but not to Jay Norvell.The second-year Rams boss believes that leap wouldn’t be a miracle as he attempts to make the Rams, who haven’t been bowling since 2017, relevant again.“We expect to win,” the second-year Rams head coach told The Post. “Is that seven games, is that eight games, is that nine games? I don’t know. I just know this: We’re better at every position, we’re a full inch taller at every position. I can’t say that at any program that I’ve ever been in. Physically, our profile is more of what (my staff) looks for.“And I also know this: The winner of our (Mountain West) conference has a heck of a chance to play in the Fiesta Bowl. And that’s pretty good motivation for anybody.”Norvell has a blueprint he’s following. After going 3-9 in his first year at Nevada in 2017, he went 8-5 the next ...

Keeler: If Stan Kroenke gave Dick Monfort $3 billion to get away from Rockies, it would be Denver’s best sports swap since John Elway in ’83.

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 09:37:54 GMT

Enos Stanley Kroenke’s plucky little basketball squad just went out and Oppenheimered Anthony Edwards, Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Pat Riley. Future GOAT. Whiny GOAT. Old GOAT. Ancient GOAT. In that order.You think he’d be scared of the stinking Dodgers?You think he’d moan about the Padres’ payroll?You think he’d let the Diamondbacks out-draft and out-develop him?You think he’d stand in front of his customers over the winter and set the bar at playing “.500 ball?”The man would ship the Rams back to St. Louis first.We’re down this rabbit hole because word on the street, and via Sports Business Journal’s John Ourand, is that Stan Kroenke and the deep pockets over at Kroenke Sports Entertainment have engaged the Rockies about buying the latter’s television rights for 2024 and beyond.Much like their baseball ops, the Rox have hit a dead-end on the broadcasting front. Warner Brothers Discovery, per Ourand, is done with AT&T Rocky Mountain, keeping the lights on just long enough fo...

Kiszla: Archie Manning sees greed writing the new rules of college football, and he worries for its future

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 09:37:54 GMT

The patriarch of the first family of football winces with the pain for the sport he loves. What football teaches kids today: Greed is good. And that worries Archie Manning, because worry is what a good dad does when the principles he has long taught get trampled by blind pursuit of the almighty dollar.“If you want to go to a college, it should be because you want to play football there, not because somebody pays you more than the other guy,” Manning told me.When the father of a football dynasty sounds the alarm, maybe everybody in the sport should heed Manning’s warning and wonder, like he does: How did we get here?The college game has sold its soul to name, image and likeness, then turned around to make a deal with the devil in the transfer portal, while tossing tradition in the trash heap of conference realignment.“College football is kind of upside down right now,” said Manning, who admits the upheaval has left his 74-year-old head spinning.When money means everything, the noble ...

Neurosurgeon investigating patient's mystery symptoms plucks a worm from woman's brain in Australia

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 09:37:54 GMT

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — A neurosurgeon investigating a woman’s mystery symptoms in an Australian hospital says she plucked a wriggling worm from the patient’s brain.Surgeon Hari Priya Bandi was performing a biopsy through a hole in the 64-year-old patient’s skull at Canberra Hospital last year when she used forceps to pull out the parasite, which measured 8 centimeters, or 3 inches."I just thought: ‘What is that? It doesn’t make any sense. But it’s alive and moving,’” Bandi was quoted Tuesday in The Canberra Times newspaper.“It continued to move with vigor. We all felt a bit sick,” Bandi added of her operating team.The creature was the larva of an Australian native roundworm not previously known to be a human parasite, named Ophidascaris robertsi. The worms are commonly found in carpet pythons.Bandi and Canberra infectious diseases physician Sanjaya Senanayake are authors of an article about the extraordinary medical case published in the latest edition of the journal Emerging In...

2 drinks a week? U.S. could tighten alcohol guidelines, national director says

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 09:37:54 GMT

(WJW) — Some hard news for those who like to imbibe adult beverages from time to time — the United States may soon change its alcohol guidelines. Current U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines, which have been in place since the 1990s, stipulate that men should stick to no more than two alcoholic beverages a day, while women should cut themselves off after one drink.But Dr. George Koob, the director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, recently told the Daily Mail the U.S. could follow a recent move by Canada. The country recently adjusted its recommendations, suggesting people limit themselves to two alcoholic drinks in a week's time (down from the previous 15 weekly drinks for men and 10 for women) in order to reduce health risks associated with drinking. Map: These counties are home to the most excessive drinkers, study finds Koob, who admitted to having a couple of glasses of wine a week, said that when the U.S.'s alcohol consumption guide...

Opinion: Adding hydrogen energy to California gas systems too risky

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 09:37:54 GMT

From major blockbusters like the movie “Glass Onion” to actual hydrogen blending projects being proposed in several parts of California, hydrogen is on everyone’s minds.Hydrogen is touted as a panacea for meeting increasing energy demand and fixing the climate crisis. However, a hydrogen economy would involve serious risks, especially when transporting hydrogen through pipelines in close proximity to people. And it may not actually help improve the climate crisis it’s been tapped to solve.The 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act set aside $9.5 billion for clean hydrogen, and the Inflation Reduction Act signed last year provided additional beneficial policies and incentives for the U.S. hydrogen industry. Pressure to replace or blend natural gas with hydrogen is being felt in many states, however it seems California may be feeling it the most.Over the last few years, utilities in California have proposed numerous projects to move hydrogen through different types of pipelines f...

Kurtenbach: Ohtani, Bumgarner, Lincecum — after Kyle Harrison’s incredible San Francisco debut, no comparison is too lofty

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 09:37:54 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Kyle Harrison sure knows how to make a first impression.There was serious hype around the Giants rookie’s home debut Monday, but he exceeded even the most optimistic expectations.The 22-year-old lefty starter’s 11-strikeout, 6.1-inning performance will be remembered for a lifetime. It showed that the future is bright — 50 thousand watts — for the East Bay kid and his hometown team.In the here and now, Harrison delivered the kind of performance that the vast majority of Major League players can’t replicate.No, what Harrison did on Monday is the realm of baseball’s best.And if that doesn’t serve as a defibrillator to a Giants’ team that came into Monday flatlining (having lost seven straight series), then nothing will revive this squad.Harrison was a force of nature — the kind that doesn’t come around often — on Monday.Related ArticlesSan Francisco Giants | Giants rookie Kyle Harrison strikes out 11 in electric home ...
