I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.

UCLA's windfall for moving to the Big Ten Conference during the next academic year just got a little bit smaller, as a University of California board of regents panel approved a plan where Cal will be paid $10 million a year from its athletic rival for at least the next three years. Both schools are members of California's ten-school UC system, with Cal objecting to UCLA's move to the Big Ten, saying it would be hurt financially through the dissolution of the Pac-12 Conference. The $10 million payments, which will run through at least the 2026-27 school year, will help...

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

With all the crazy news we hear these days, it is understandable that people might feel helpless to make a difference. It's true that you might not be able to cure the ills of the world, but you can, quite easily in fact, make a huge, positive difference in the life of a cat. Best of all--you reap the rewards too.

Cleanup crews dismantled a homeless encampment at 8th and Navajo in Denver last week without offering the inhabitants anywhere to go. The city swept the encampment because they said it had become a public health hazard.

Pittsburgh Steelers standout defensive lineman Cameron Heyward is not at voluntary workouts and is planning to skip organized team activities during the offseason as he eyes a contract extension, ESPN reported Wednesday. Heyward, entering the final year of his current contract (four years, $65.6 million), is a three-time All-Pro and the 2023 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year. He has played in 194 career games (159 starts) across 13 seasons with Pittsburgh, recording 647 tackles and 80.5 sacks. Heyward, who turned 35 on May 6, played only 11 games last season because of a Week 1 groin injury but is "healthy again," according to the report. Heyward finished with 33 tackles and two sacks during the 2023 campaign. The No. 31 overall selection by the Steelers in the 2011 draft, Heyward has been named to six Pro Bowls. Pittsburgh's season ended with a wild-card-round loss to the Buffalo Bills. At that time, Heyward revealed his plan to continue playing. "I've just got to get healthy first," he told reporters in January. "We talk about coming back from injury, I was told at the time it was a 12-week process, and we came back in six weeks." --Field Level Media

Twenty-two years ago, Robert Ray Courtney (Inmate Register #14636-045) was convicted of diluting chemotherapy drugs for more than 4,000 patients. It's been recently reported he will be released from prison this summer to a halfway house. Victims and families of victims are most likely disappointed and furious and understandably so.

It’s a fair question: Have people experiencing homelessness moved to Denver for a free hotel room?. At least one man did. The mother of a missing man messaged me the other day to tell me she is looking for her son. She said he moved back to Denver from Florida thinking he could get a free hotel room as part of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s House1000 plan. Of course, those rooms all are full now. Also, most people who received the rooms were in established encampments that the mayor swept. There never were any rooms for people who might move to Denver one week to be housed the next.

Migrants and their advocates hosted a press conference Friday at an undisclosed homeless encampment and railed against conditions in Denver. Migrants Willy Bastidas and a woman named Mandy shared stories of shelter conditions. They said migrants are being kicked out after three days with nowhere to go.

The Denver City Council will consider spending $24 million for security services at the city’s homeless hotels and micro-communities. The Finance and Governance Committee will review the contracts on Tuesday. Initially Securitas Security Services U.S. received an $18 million to provide security at the sites. But as the city’s security needs became more acute, Securitas could not keep up, according to a memo from city staff to the council. Advanced Professional Security initially received a contract of $400,000, but the city has added $3 million to it. Aquila Services Corp., doing business as Metro Protective Services, also first received a $400,000 contract. That contract has also been extended to $3.4 million.

The 2024 Hall of Fame Game will be broadcast on Aug. 1 by ABC and ESPN. The Pro Football Hall of Fame said Thursday this will be the first time ESPN has aired the game. It's sister network, ABC, had rights to the Hall of Fame Game from 1971-2005. This year's preseason game in Canton, Ohio, will feature the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans. ESPN's "Monday Night Football" crew of Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Lisa Salters will call the game. Aikman, the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys from 1989-2000, was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 2006. --Field Level Media

In my opinion, being the first taquero to unleash a new regional style of burrito into Southern California’s expansive taco universe is almost worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize, especially when the results are as delicious as they are at Los De Juárez Burritos in Anaheim.

The Denver City Council learned more Wednesday about the workforce development component of the Denver Asylum Seekers Program. The city has transitioned the way it helps migrants, closing shelters and instead placing 800 people in the asylum program. That includes people who had been staying in non-congregate hotel shelters, all but one of which have closed. New migrant arrivals will not be eligible for the six-month work program until some graduate, according to a presentation by city staff. The city intends to keep 500 people in the work program at a time, according to Tony Anderson, workforce development manager for the city.

Denver aims to place migrants in minimum $20 per hour jobs
