"One of the neighbors came out around 2 this morning and grabbed it. They put it in a hamper, sealed it with duct tape, and left it out front of their home until the office opened up to take care of it."The snake is now in the hands of Michael Wilkins, of Oklahoma Exotics and Rescue. It had been surviving in the Burntwood Mobile Home Park. Experts had said previously that after viewing it through their cameras, they believed it was 13 feet long and because residents claimed half the cats were missing in the neighborhood, that it had been eating cats."No, I would say it is about 8 feet, maybe a little more," said Wilkins while taking out the snake to show Nexstar's KFOR. "It's a juvenile, maybe a little older and ...

Opinion: Pueblo train derailment is reminder of how dangerous a “bomb train” would be

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:32:18 GMT

The Oct. 15 derailment near Pueblo spilled mountains of coal over I-25, collapsed a bridge, and killed a truck driver. This was tragic, but it could have been much worse.  It could have been a two-mile-long train filled with crude oil–the kind that the Uinta Basin Railway would send through Colorado up to five times a day.The Pueblo tragedy confirms that hauling hazardous materials by the trainload always involves severe risk. The Pueblo tragedy warrants a second look at a guest commentary that appeared in the August 14 Denver Post. There, Julius T. Murray, speaking for his Ute Indian Tribe, urged federal taxpayers to finance the railway to make up for historical mistreatment of his tribe by the federal government.The railway would connect Uinta Basin oil fields to the Union Pacific’s main line in Utah. From there, trains would wind through Colorado’s treacherous mountain passes and follow the Colorado River for over 100 miles before heading to the Front Range and points east....

Union takes Wednesday to study AMPTP proposal; talks to resume Thursday

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:32:18 GMT

SAG-AFTRA and movie and television producers were expected to meet Wednesday, but the actors union pushed back talks to Thursday.The union instead spent Wednesday "reviewing the latest AMPTP counter offer.""We will be meeting across the table with the CEOs tomorrow," SAG-AFTRA said on X, formerly Twitter. The sides met on Tuesday, where the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers offered "an improved bonus for the most-watched streaming shows, as well as higher increases in minimum rates," Variety reports. "But the studios are still not offering a cut of total streaming revenue, which the actors union has made the centerpiece of its demands to end its 104-day strike," Variety added. "Though the two sides continue to negotiate, there remains frustration on both sides that more progress has not been made."In addition to revenue disagreements, the actors union is seeking protections against the reuse of actors' likenesses by artificial intelligence technology.
