Denver County Judge Claudia Jordan ordered Varlamov to stay away from his girlfriend and not contact her. Varlamov also was ordered to relinquish any firearms in his possession....

Ochoa and his girlfriend were driving a rental car to a friend’s wedding rehearsal when the Apple Maps led them to Favret’s driveway in an area named the Elk Ridge Estates. Not seeing any other cars around, Ochoa backed his vehicle out of the driveway and then contacted their friends to help navigate them to the rehearsal. Unbeknownst to the driving couple, however, pulling into the driveway triggered an alarm that alerted Favret to the car in front of his home....

Polis said during a news conference his mask order will go into effect at midnight. He previously resisted calls from the state’s Democratic lawmakers to require residents to wear face coverings and said during a news conference last week that he doubted residents were waiting for an executive order to don a mask. The Democratic governor said recent coronavirus data reflecting the pandemic’s progress in the swing state necessitated a policy change....

Brad Udall, senior water and climate research scientist at Colorado State University, made the comments regarding a paper published in the journal Science. The study highlighted that climate change appears to have led to the loss of snow in the Colorado River Basin, which in turn is thought to have caused the body of water to absorb more solar energy, meaning more water evaporates. The Colorado River has been suffering a drought due to higher temperatures since 2000, and researchers warn if trends of its flow dwindling continue there is a risk of severe water shortages for the around 40 million people and 16 million jobs it supports....

“I have zilch,” said Pagano when asked about an update on Luck. Pagano added that if Luck is cleared for game action and can get some practices in, he will play in the regular-season finale against the Titans. MORE: Best photos from NFL Week 15 | Broncos’ Bruton played with a broken fibula The Colts (6-8) have gone 2-3 since Luck suffered a lacerated kidney on Nov. 8, but are still in the running for the AFC South title and an automatic playoff berth....

Not after Sunday, after that nip-and-tuck 34-28 win over Seattle in Lucas Oil Stadium. To repeat, the Seattle Seahawks, the team that came in off the first 4-0 start in franchise history, and the team that for three weeks had looked as if they were about to lock down their own berth in New York in February. The Colts took every punch the Seahawks threw all game long, and they were the ones left standing at the end....

According to WTHR’s Bob Kravitz, the person who first reported the Deflategate story, Indianapolis still believes there might be bugs in the locker room. MORE: Classic photos of Peyton Manning | Jim McMahon calls Belichick a liar It seems like an extreme measure, and a sign of how paranoid the Colts are of the Patriots trying to gain an edge. We already know Colts general manager Ryan Grigson tipped off the NFL about the potential for deflated footballs during the AFC championship game....

As an herbal supplement, coltsfoot has been used both in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western herbalism, primarily as a treatment for sore throat and chronic (long-term) coughs (such as from emphysema). Coltsfoot is also known as Folia farfarae, Filius ante patrem, and Kuandong Hua. The Latin name, Tussilago farfara, is derived from the word “tuss,” meaning cough, and “lago,” meaning to dispel, which also explains the term “anti-tussive.”...

Instead, Combate’s knockout artist got slapped with “The Bitter Truth.” Cooper “The Bitter Truth” Gibson immediately put Palacios on notice of his power with an emphatic takedown early into the first round. Seconds later, he mounted Palacios and was sneaking in elbows and fists. When Palacios made the mistake of momentarily giving up his back, Gibson capitalized by swinging around and securing an arm triangle to which Palacios tapped out to, awarding Gibson the stunning first-round submission....

The scientists working on the meteorite rushed to acknowledge the circumstantial nature of their evidence: complex molecules, crystals that look like those produced by bacteria here on Earth and tiny tubes that look like terrestrial fossil bacteria. Any single finding could be refuted, but taken together they were enough for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to call a press conference last Wednesday, and for NASA administrator Daniel Goldin to brief the president on the possibility of life in outer space....

Comedy Central released a spoof video making fun of the NBA commissioner and pretty much everything about the league. Even the “player” who came to visit Silver was named Cleanthony Mills, which, of course, derives from Knicks’ 2014 draft pick Cleanthony Early. I’m not completely sure if this was intentional, but it happened.

The NFC East rivals ended their Week 13 game tied at 20-all, and even Ron Rivera, who is in his 12th year as a head coach, wasn’t sure how to feel after the contest. “I addressed them and I really wasn’t sure how to address them,” Rivera said, per the AP. “We came up here and expected to win. We didn’t. We tied. It doesn’t hurt us. It doesn’t help us because these are the guys we are competing with right now....

In the post shared on Mumsnet on Monday, the worker who goes by the username ConfusieSusie, explained that after promising flexible working at interview stages, their boss now expects to see employees in the office most of the time. ConfusieSusie wrote in the post that last year they joined a new organization on the basis that they would follow a hybrid work arrangement, attending the office just three days a week and working from home the rest of the week and any time their kids were sent home from school for showing signs of coronavirus....

While many analysts are still skeptical of the near-term prospects for Indian and Chinese multinationals, IMD predicts they will rise faster and prove even more disruptive to certain industries than the Japanese who came before. Garelli thinks the Indians and Chinese will start to claim a significant share of key global markets within three to five years. Those markets are now much more open to newcomers, especially in the United States, where giant discounters distribute cheap products nationwide....
