US vetoes UN resolution demanding cease-fire in Gaza

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:04:19 GMT

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United States was the only nation that vetoed a United Nations resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza Friday. The vote in the 15-member council was 13-1, with the United Kingdom abstaining. The United States' isolated stand reflected a growing fracture between Washington and some of its closest allies over Israel's monthslong bombardment of Gaza. France and Japan were among those supporting the call for a cease-fire.Along with the vote, the Arab diplomats' mission served to shift responsibility more squarely onto the United States for protecting Israel from growing demands to stop the airstrikes that are killing thousands of Palestinian civilians."What is the message we are sending Palestinians if we cannot unite behind a call to halt the relentless bombardment of Gaza?” United Arab Emirates deputy ambassador Mohamed Abushaha asked after the vote. “Indeed, what is the message we are sending civilians across the world who may find ...

Taylor Swift hype, Red Rocks hailstorm, and Drake’s big diss: The year in Denver concerts

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:04:19 GMT

The year 2023 was marked by big shows — and even bigger ticket prices.Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran and Denver DJ-producer Illenium likely set records at Empower Field at Mile High, from the most tickets sold for a weekend run (Swift), to the biggest, venue-based concert in Denver history (Sheeran) and the biggest-ever show from a Colorado artist (Illenium).As state and federal legislators again failed to pass meaningful legislation protecting consumers from outrageous ticketing fees, prices soared. A nosebleed seat to one of Swift’s shows at Empower Field may have cost less than $50 if you were lucky enough to get one during the disastrous Ticketmaster pre-sale. But thousands were forced to buy them on the secondary market for prices ranging from $500 to $10,000 per seat.The Wall Street Journal found that the average price of a concert had doubled in the past five years, increasing from $125 in 2019 to $252 in 2023. The story was the same with re-sellers such as SeatGeek, wh...

East Colfax primed for change with bus rapid transit and design standards

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:04:19 GMT

Denver city leaders on Monday will vote on new rules that could dictate how East Colfax Avenue looks and functions for decades. But whether those rules, already in place on other busy streets, are a poor fit for the thoroughfare remains a point of debate.If approved by the City Council, the package of proposed zoning changes will govern future development for hundreds of properties between Sherman and Yosemite streets with an eye toward ensuring ample shopfronts and more space for sidewalk users along Colfax.The measure comes before the council as the city’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure marches toward a final design for the long-anticipated East Colfax Avenue Bus Rapid Transit network. Crews are expected to begin construction on the first segment of that project — which will install dedicated lanes and more than two dozen loading platforms to accommodate a network of high-frequency, fast-loading buses — next year.While BRT will change the face of...

Denver-based paleontologist broke new ground with advanced understanding of dinosaur behavior

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:04:19 GMT

Before Dr. Martin Gaudin Lockley set his sights on studying the footprints of dinosaurs, the scientific field known as paleoichnology attracted little notice or respect. The tall, talkative, Denver-based paleontologist who died of cancer on Nov. 25 at age 73 is largely credited with changing that by tracking fossilized dinosaur walkways on nearly every continent.Martin Lockley in the ’80s, wearing his love for fossils on his sleeve. (Courtesy of the Lockley family)For more than 40 years, Lockley identified and mapped Jurassic and Cretaceous period tracksites in Colorado and everywhere they’ve been found. His insights substantially increased knowledge about dinosaur activities including courtship, parenting, migration and herding behaviors.“I’ve asked other leading paleoichnologists about Martin’s influence and there’s no debate that he stood alone,” said Friends of Dinosaur Ridge (FODR) executive director Jeff Lamontagne. “As one colleague put it, Martin was...
