Another COVID spike. On January 4, Denver reported just 172 new COVID-19 cases. On January 5, the number jumped to 1,043 new cases—a spike most health officials attribute to increased contact for people from holiday gatherings. The spike also came the same week Governor Jared Polis eased coronavirus-related restrictions, including allowing limited in-person dining to return. (Denverite)
Dominion Voting. For weeks, pro-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell has claimed without evidence that machines created by Dominion Voting Systems flipped votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden during the 2020 election. On Friday, the Denver company announced it is filing a defamation lawsuit against Powell, seeking $1.3 billion (yes, the "b" is not a typo) in damages for her "wild accusations." (NPR)
Gambling in Colorado. After Colorado voters passed Amendment 77 this past November—which gave towns that allow gambling the ability to increase bet limits beyond the previous cap of $100—Black Hawk, Cripple Creek, and Central City have all approved measures lifting bet limits and adding new games. Casino operators don't expect the moves to all of a sudden transform those towns into Las Vegas when they go into effect, though. (Denver Post)

Uproxx Travel expands the mind, broadens your palette ( and your palate ), opens your worldview and, for many, drains your wallet . But travel doesn’t have to be expensive. In fact, it can often be a more enriching experience to show up with a budget, because it means you look more closely at the places you spend cash, you talk more with the people around you, and step outside the boundaries of a cruise ship or an “all-inclusive” resort. If you want to get out more out of travel, or just need to keep a close eye on what you’re spending, we’ve gathered a set of apps that will help you pack, travel, eat, and explore while keeping your budget manageable ( and helping you manage your budget ). Some are about saving money directly, while others allow you to circumvent costs like cabs or forgetting something important. Next time you’re planning a trip, here’s what to have on your phone: PART I: Before You Go The best way to guarantee a good trip is to plan out some of the important
Today, 790 million people — 11 percent of the world's population — live without access to clean water. Two years ago, XPrize , an international nonprofit organization, announced a global competition enticing innovators to find a sustainable and affordable way to bring potable water to those who aren't privileged enough to have it now. Skeptics told the competition organizers that it was impossible. Nearly 100 submissions later, and XPrize found precisely what they were looking for — entrepreneurs who could design a minimalistic device that could reliably extract 2,000 liters of water from the atmosphere per day for no more than two cents per liter all using 100 percent renewable energy.
