Historic Colorado River deal to conserve flows advances after winning key approval from state water board

A yearslong effort to purchase two of the most powerful water rights on the Colorado River has cleared another hurdle after the state water board agreed to manage the rights alongside Western Slope water officials. The Colorado Water Conservation Board voted unanimously Wednesday night to accept the two water rights tied to the Shoshone Power Plant into its environmental flow program. The approval is a critical piece in the Colorado River District’s $99 million deal with the owner of the aging plant in Glenwood Canyon Xcel Energy but the deal has faced pushback from Front Range water providers that fear the change could impact their supplies. Backers of the deal aim to make sure the water now used by the small hydroelectric plant and then put back in the river will always flow westward. “The importance of today’s vote cannot be overstated as a legacy decision for Colorado water and the Western Slope,” Andy Mueller, general manager of the Colorado River District, said in a news release. “It secures an essential foundation for the health of the Colorado River and the communities it sustains.” Colorado water officials hailed the decision as a monumental achievement for the state that will help protect the river and its ecosystem. The state’s instream flow program allows the Water Conservation Board to manage dedicated water rights for the health of rivers, streams and lakes. “Acquiring the Shoshone water rights for instream flow use is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to preserve and improve the natural environment of the Colorado River,” Dan Gibbs, the executive director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, said in a news release. One of the main sticking points during the hourslong meeting Wednesday was whether the board should manage the water rights with the River District. That would include decisions on how and when to require upstream users like Front Range utilities to send more water downstream. Generally, the board is the sole manager of water rights in its instream flow program, which the Shoshone rights are now a part of. Several Western Slope entities said they would withdraw their financial support from the purchase if the Colorado River District was not allowed to co-manage the right with the board. Local governments and other organizations across the Western Slope promised more than $16 million toward the purchase. Front Range water providers argued that the statewide board is the sole authority that can manage such rights and should have final decision-making power. The water board instead approved the co-management strategy, which means that the two authorities will decide together how to act when there is not enough water to meet the right’s obligations. The Colorado River District a taxpayer-funded agency that works to protect Western Slope water wants to purchase the Shoshone rights to ensure that water will continue to flow west past the plant and downstream to the towns, farms and others who rely on the Colorado River, even if the century-old power plant were decommissioned. A stream of Western Slope elected officials, water managers and conservation groups testified in support of the deal and the rare opportunity it presented. “The Shoshone call is one of the great stabilizing forces on the river a heartbeat that has kept our valley farms alive, our communities whole and our economies steady even in lean years,” Mesa County Commissioner Bobbie Daniel said, urging the board to approve the plan. The meeting on Wednesday came after weeks of extensive mediation between the River District and Front Range entities. However, the representatives from opposite sides of the Continental Divide could not come to a consensus on a way forward. Representatives from Front Range utilities have said repeatedly that they supported the purchase as a whole, but they stated concerns about the purchase changing the status quo on the river. The water rights connected to the plant are the oldest major water rights on the main stem of the Colorado River, which means that they must be fulfilled before any rights established afterward. Those include more junior rights held by Front Range utilities to divert water from the river and bring it under the Continental Divide to their customers. The plant’s rights can command up to 1, 408 cubic feet of water per second year-round, or about 1 million acre-feet a year enough water for 2 million to 3 million households’ annual use. The Water Conservation Board’s approval is one of several that must be acquired by the River District. The deal now must go through the state’s water court and its Public Utilities Commission. Along with the $16 million coming from Western Slope entities, the district will pay $20 million and the Water Conservation Board allocated another $20 million. The financial plan also includes $40 million awarded under the federal Inflation Reduction Act by the Biden administration, but that money remains frozen as part of the Trump administration’s broad halt to spending by the previous president.

Diane Keaton’s former Los Angeles home is now on the market. The 8,434-square-foot property, located in Beverly Hills, is listed for $25 million. The listing is in partnership with agents Rayni and Branden Williams of Beverly Hills Estates.

According to The Robb Report, the legendary actress purchased the home in 2007 for $8.1 million and later sold it to producer Ryan Murphy three years later for $10 million. Originally built in the 1920s, the six-bedroom, nine-bathroom Spanish Colonial-style residence is situated in the Flats neighborhood of Beverly Hills. The home features a library, media room, and an office.

Additional amenities include a gym, wine cellar, and a two-car garage. Outside, the property boasts multiple seating and dining areas, a swimming pool, a sports court, a courtyard with a fountain, and a guest house.

Known for her Academy Award-winning performance in *Annie Hall* and roles in films such as *The First Wives Club*, *The Godfather* series, and *Father of the Bride*, Diane Keaton passed away on October 11 in Los Angeles at the age of 79.

According to a death certificate obtained by Fox News Digital, the immediate cause of death was primary bacterial pneumonia. Keaton reportedly battled the illness for several days prior to her passing. The document lists no other significant contributing conditions and states that she was cremated on October 14.

The late actress’s family released a statement on October 16 confirming her cause of death. “The Keaton family are very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love and support they have received these past few days on behalf of their beloved Diane, who passed away from pneumonia on October 11,” the statement read, per *People*. “She loved her animals and she was steadfast in her support of the unhoused community, so any donations in her memory to a local food bank or an animal shelter would be a wonderful and much appreciated tribute to her.”

Following her death, many Hollywood stars took to social media to honor the Oscar winner, including her former co-star Al Pacino. The two starred together in *The Godfather* and shared a romantic relationship for many years.

In a heartfelt statement to *Deadline*, Pacino said, “I am deeply saddened by Diane Keaton’s passing. When I first heard the news, I was shaken. Diane was my partner, my friend, someone who brought me happiness and on more than one occasion influenced the direction of my life. Though over thirty years has passed since we were together, the memories remain vivid, and with her passing, they have returned with a force that is both painful and moving.”

He continued, saying she “inspired generations and embodied a once-in-a-lifetime gift that radiated through her work and her life,” describing her on-screen presence as “magnetic.” Pacino closed his sentimental statement by writing, “I will always remember her. She could fly and in my heart, she always will.”

Students braved cold and rainy weather at The University of Mississippi to attend the “This Is The Turning Point” tour stop hosted by Turning Point USA (TPUSA). The event featured Vice-President J.D. Vance and Erika Kirk, widow of Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk, who now serves as CEO of TPUSA.

The crowd began forming early in the morning outside The Pavilion at Ole Miss and stretched across the campus. Many students wore MAGA hats and “Freedom” shirts as a tribute to the slain founder, Charlie Kirk.

Fox News Digital spoke with attendees about their reasons for coming and their support for J.D. Vance and TPUSA. Ole Miss student Nicholas called the event a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” noting, “We’re honoring Charlie Kirk and his message to the world, and I think that it’s really important as a student to stand for what you believe in. That’s why I’m here, and we’ve been standing in the rain.”

Another student added, “I’m here because I joined the club at the beginning of the school year, and I just want to support the movement.” Others expressed excitement about seeing the speakers. Grant said, “I’m so excited to see J.D. Vance and Erika.” Jack remarked, “We’re all very excited to see J.D. Vance. He could be the next president.”

TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet shared on X (formerly Twitter) that over half of the student body—14,000 of 27,000 students—registered for the event, alongside 13,000 adults who could not be accommodated due to venue capacity limits.

The event highlighted the continued influence and enthusiasm surrounding Turning Point USA at Ole Miss and beyond.

UBS Cuts Coterra Energy (CTRA) Price Target, Keeps Buy Rating

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard. Fast forward a year, and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000. Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:
– 175 Teslas
– 107 Amazons
– 140 Metas
– 84 Googles
– 65 Microsofts
– And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part: this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy. It’s a leap so massive it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential. How could anything be worth that much? The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

This breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution. In fact, Verge argues this company’s super-cheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before we reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.

Larry Ellison, through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.

Warren Buffett, not known for tech hype, says this breakthrough could have a “hugely beneficial social impact.”

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea, you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere.

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible. And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans, this prediction might not be bold at all: A few years from now, you’ll wish you’d owned this stock.

### The Energy Crisis Behind AI’s Rapid Growth

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world — and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence — training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future.

But there’s one urgent question few are asking: **Where will all of that energy come from?**

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning: “The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt: “AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes.

Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies.

### The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

One little-known company — almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors — could be the ultimate backdoor play.

It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US.

This company owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.

It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.

It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation — a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG. And our company sits in the toll booth — collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all.

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring.

This one company ties it all together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure. And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie — and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds — without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders, this company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash — equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

### The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why?

Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

– The AI infrastructure supercycle
– The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
– A surge in U.S. LNG exports
– And a unique footprint in nuclear energy — the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap, with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope. It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

### Disruption is the New Name of the Game

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners — and AI is the winning ticket.

Sam Rivers, bassist and founding member of Limp Bizkit, dies aged 48

Posted on by

Sam Rivers, bassist for the rock band Limp Bizkit, has died at the age of 48.

Rivers’ death was confirmed by the band in a heartfelt social media post on Saturday, where they wrote:

“Today we lost our brother. Sam Rivers wasn’t just our bass player, he was pure magic. The pulse beneath every song, the calm in the chaos, the soul in the sound. He was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of human. A true legend of legends. And his spirit will live forever in every groove, every stage, every memory.”

The band did not share any further details about his death.

Rivers’ last update on social media came on Friday, when he shared a “Save The Date” video announcing Limp Bizkit’s performance at the Rock for People festival in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic, scheduled for June 2026. The bassist and his bandmates last performed together in August at the Leeds Festival in the United Kingdom.

In 2015, Rivers left Limp Bizkit after being diagnosed with liver disease, but he rejoined the band in 2018. Speaking to Variety, Rivers opened up about his health struggles:

“I got liver disease from excessive drinking. I had to leave Limp Bizkit in 2015 because I felt so horrible, and a few months after that I realized I had to change everything because I had really bad liver disease. I quit drinking and did everything the doctors told me. I got treatment for the alcohol and got a liver transplant, which was a perfect match.”

Limp Bizkit, a pioneering nu-metal band that rose to fame in the 1990s, was nominated for three Grammy Awards. Their hits, including “Rollin'” and “Nookie,” charted on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, helping define an era of rock music.

Fred Durst, Limp Bizkit’s frontman and longtime bandmate, shared emotional memories of meeting Rivers for the first time. Durst recalled hearing Rivers play at a bar in Jacksonville, Florida, while searching for bandmates:

“He was killing it on the bass. I saw Sam play and I was blown away,” Durst said in a video posted on social media Sunday morning. “He’s playing a five-string bass too. I’d never really seen someone using a five-string bass. He was so smooth and good and he stood out. I could hear nothing else but Sam. Everything disappeared besides his gift.”

When Durst approached Rivers after the performance with the idea of forming a band, the bassist didn’t hesitate.

“He looked at me and said, ‘Killer. I’m in. Let’s do it,'” Durst recalled. “I’ve gone through gallons and gallons of tears since yesterday and I’m thinking, ‘My God, Sam’s a legend. He did it. He lived it.'”

Limp Bizkit’s latest single, “Making Love to Morgan Wallen,” topped several Billboard charts in September, underscoring the band’s lasting impact on the music world.

Sam Rivers’ talent and spirit left an indelible mark on fans and fellow musicians alike. He will be deeply missed.
