Good Morning, Colorado, you’re listening to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Thursday May 6th, and even though there’s a lot of turmoil right now we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you.   Today - In Woodland Park, Colorado a driver accused another of running a red light. There were no police in sight… but he still received a ticket - a citizen signed ticket.   But before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”:   Today, we take you back to May 6th, 1859 when John H. Gregory found the first lode gold source in present day Colorado. He was in what is now Gilpin County. As Gregory dug into the ravine that day he found shovelful after shovelful of gold ore. The ravine was later named for him -  Gregory Gulch.    Now, our feature story.   Most traffic tickets are administered by law enforcement officers. But not all of them, at least in Woodland Park, Colorado. Reporter Jennifer Brown talks with Lucy Haggard about what happened when one driver accused another of running a red light -- with no police in sight.    To read the full story, go to coloradosun.com   And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today:   Authorities announced Wednesday that they’ve arrested the husband of Suzanne Morphew, a Salida woman who went missing almost a year ago. Barry Morphew has been charged with three counts, including first-degree murder, and is being held at Chaffee County jail. Authorities did not share many details Wednesday, but said they do not believe Suzanne is alive. She would have turned 50 on May 2. https://coloradosun.com/2021/05/05/suzanne-morphew-barry-morphew-arrest-murder-charge/    Governor Jared Polis and Colorado Democrats are pursuing a bill to create a new government agency dedicated to early childhood education. The department would house the state’s universal preschool program and consolidate other initiatives already set up for families with young children. Providers of early childhood care and education say the current network of services is too fragmented to have maximum impact. The bill comes as Senator Michael Bennet is leading Congress in a similar but unrelated initiative to permanently expand early childhood tax credits for families. https://coloradosun.com/2021/05/05/early-childhood-office-colorado-preschool-program/    A federal judge ruled Wednesday against the national eviction ban through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The court ruling is just the latest to challenge the CDC’s eviction ban, but the immediate impact is still unclear. A swift appeal from the Biden administration means the issue may be locked up in court for months. Colorado’s statewide eviction ban expired on December 31, defaulting to the national guidance. The state has processed more than 30,000 requests for rent or mortgage help since last summer, totaling about $74 million.    For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

So, is a virus alive like bacteria and germs, or are they something different? There are a variety of opinions. Some scientists think that virus are basically a chemistry set, that is, they don’t reproduce like living creatures. Living beings consume, process, expend energy and reproduce. A virus cannot reproduce on its own like the process of cell division in mitosis. As Gregory the Great (540–604) says, ‘because man has existence (esse) in common with stones, life with trees, and understanding (discernere) with angels, …Lewis, C. S.. The Discarded Image . Where do we all fit into the big picture? Music arranged and performed by Russ Ronnebaum

At first, Magic Spoon may sound like a tough sell, but there are a few reasons why people are buying it. Nutritionally, it's more in line with a protein bar than a cereal. It's made for adults, but aesthetically it channels a childlike nostalgia. And even at $10 a box, per gram of protein, it's a pretty good deal. This isn't the first time Gregory Sewitz and his co-founder Gabi Lewis have taken a gamble on a tough-sell protein. With their first company, Exo, they sold cricket flour protein bars. They learned a lot about regulatory challenges and supply chain complexities, then sold that company and tried their hand at cereal. High protein, low sugar, delicious, brightly colored cereal.As Gregory plans ahead for a future on grocery store shelves, he's sharing everything they've learned in the first six months since launching.Find more links and images from this episode on the Lumi blog.

It's no secret that a lot of publishers, especially small press, struggle to keep their doors open for business. Jason White talks with Gregory Lamberson about Medallion's recent closure and how this will affect his body of work, what his future plans are, and whether or not they are still available. As Gregory is also a film maker, they also discuss Amazon's ban of Killer Rack along with the making of Johnny Gruesome.

If Tolstoy had written Spoonbenders (Knopf, 2017), he might have started it: “All happy families are alike; each family of psychics is unhappy in its own way.” Then again, who needs Tolstoy when you have Daryl Gregory, whose masterful family drama is tied together with telekinesis, astral traveling, and genuine mindreading magic. A Nebula Award finalist and an NPR Best Book for 2017, Spoonbenders tells the story of the one-time Amazing Telemachus Family, who have struggled to make ends meet ever since they were exposed as frauds on national TV. Only they really aren’t frauds. Most of them have true psychic gifts. The problem is that psychic gifts aren’t all that they’re cracked up to be. As Gregory explains, “I was trying to figure out why if people have these powers … wouldn’t they just become rulers of the world? Why wouldn’t they become rich and famous, and I was struck by the rationale that Uri Geller always used, which is ‘there are so many things that can reach out and interfere with your powers that only a faker can make his powers work all the time.’” Frankie Telemachus, whose get-rich-quick schemes have left him in debt to the mob, can move objects with his mind, but his ability never comes when he needs it. His sister, Irene, a grocery store cashier, is a human lie detector, which makes it impossible to have intimate relationships. And their brother, Buddy, is so worried about the looming end of the world (which he replays over and over again in his clairvoyant mind) that he devotes every waking moment to fretful, obsessive planning to prevent it. The story is told from five alternating points of view, revealing a cascade of secrets that explain the siblings’ inability to lead fulfilling lives while laying a foundation for their future salvation. Among the inspirations for the Spoonbenders is the U.S. Army’s Stargate Project, launched in 1978 to study the potential military uses of psychic phenomena. “I was intrigued by the idea that the government was buying into this… Up until 1995, we were throwing millions of dollars into it,” Gregory says. The book, in fact, is set in 1995, when a CIA agent hopes to save the program by recruiting Irene’s adolescent son, Matty, who has just discovered he can astral travel. Gregory himself doesn’t believe in psychic powers. “I’m a skeptic but I do like it in science fiction.” The only magic he believes in is that which a writer produces from his imagination. “A reader with a writer is making the same kind of contract as an audience with a magician. You know that magician is trying to fool you; you want them to fool you… And that’s what I’m really interested in. You know I’m going to tell you a story… but hopefully you’re willing to go along.” Rob Wolf is the host of New Books in Science Fiction and the author of The Alternate Universe.

As Tesla continues to miss its production targets and burn through cash, Elon Musk goes to Twitter to claim Tesla will be profitable by the end of the year. What do you think will happen first: Elon Musk will have Tesla profitable or he will have a colony on Mars? Meanwhile, Netflix looks unstoppable, and is now worth more than Fox, CBS, Viacom, and some of the other big boys in broadcasting. As Gregory's financial business continues to grow, we learn how to deal with issues that affect many small businesses that are growing. How does Gregory handle the stresses of a growing company? How has Gregory's skill set evolved? A viewer in Periscope asks Gregory to explain what it means to short a stock, and how do you make money shorting stocks? The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau may fine Wells Fargo $1 billion for swindling 570,000 customers. If I took money from someone involuntarily by force or fraud, I would be arrested and sent to jail. If these bankers really did steal money from folks, why are we skipping criminal charges? You mean you can't rip off American consumers as long as the CFPB gets paid off? What kind of corrupt garbage is that? http://www.WinningAtLife.com

Intelligence Squared’s historical and cultural combat events have been thrilling our audiences with their unique blend of entertainment, information and live performance. Here we present the battle of the queens. Both Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria set their stamp firmly on their era but which was the greater monarch? On one side stood Philippa Gregory, bestselling author of the Tudor Court series of novels. She made the case for Elizabeth I, with widely acclaimed actor Fiona Shaw bringing this most majestic and flirtatious of rulers to life with readings from her speeches and letters. In the other corner was Daisy Goodwin, writer of last autumn’s hit ITV series Victoria, who will argue the case for her heroine. Award-winning star of stage and screen Greta Scacchi revealed the determination and wit of this most human of monarchs by performing extracts from Victoria’s diaries and personal missives. Chairing the proceedings was celebrated historian and television presenter Dan Jones. Neither Elizabeth nor Victoria grew up expecting to be queen, and each had to struggle to assert herself in a man’s world. As Gregory will argue, Elizabeth managed this by her shrewd intelligence, playing off the men in her court against each other and refusing to dilute her power by marrying, despite the intense pressure of her advisers. As Catholics and Protestants fought wars across Europe, she averted bloodshed in England by consolidating the Protestant revolution begun by her father Henry VIII, expressing her religious tolerance with the famous words, 'I have no desire to make windows into men's souls.' Goodwin made the case that Victoria was not just a great queen but an icon for our own times. Not only did she save the monarchy after a succession of dissolute and incompetent Georgian kings; by embracing marriage and motherhood, she set an example that our own queen and royal family have followed to this day. Her popularity was such that when in 1848 revolutionary uprisings toppled monarchies in France, Austria, Italy and Poland, Victoria’s throne remained secure.
