Why Avalanche’s Andrew Cogliano was nominated for Masterton Trophy: “I’m impressed by this guy on a daily basis.” The Avalanche’s locker room leadership circle includes the expected names — the captain and other top players — and one depth player whose natural leadership qualities have made him a role model.The Colorado chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association nominated Andrew Cogliano for the 2023 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, the annual award that goes to the NHL player who “best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to the game.”Cogliano, 35, is a 16-year NHL veteran who has only been in Colorado since the 2022 trade deadline, when the Avalanche acquired him from San Jose. He has quickly made his impact felt since then as one of the team’s hardest workers and most vocal veterans. Every team in the league has one player nominated for the Masterton.The award is named after the only player in NHL history to die as a direct result of an on-ice injury.“I think it’s well-deserved,” Avalanche coach Jared Bed...

Arapahoe County says no to a pause on drilling as commissioners vote down oil and gas moratorium

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 05:15:58 GMT

Arapahoe County says no to a pause on drilling as commissioners vote down oil and gas moratorium Arapahoe County’s commissioners on Tuesday narrowly voted down a six-month moratorium on all new oil and gas drilling in the county, a decision at odds with the concerns of dozens of Aurora residents worried about the impact of energy extraction on their doorstep.The vote was 3-2 and followed two meetings filled with public comment for and against the issue.The moratorium would have stopped Arapahoe County from accepting any new applications from oil and gas companies to drill until this fall. A proposal to drill 174 wells on land directly east of the Aurora city line and the Aurora Reservoir drove the discussion.Denver-based Civitas Resources had outlined its plans for its project, dubbed Lowry Ranch, but the company had not yet submitted any applications to drill.Commissioners Jeff Baker, Bill Holen and Carrie Warren-Gully voted down the moratorium. Commissioners Leslie Summey and Jessica Campbell-Swanson voted in favor.Related ArticlesColorado News | Arapahoe Cou...

Dubai’s unstoppable luxury housing market just set another record By Lisa Fleisher, BloombergFor the world’s rich looking for places to stash their wealth, one segment of Dubai’s real estate market is increasingly the destination of choice: apartments and townhouses with a brand name, like Four Seasons, Bulgari and Cavalli.Sales of those properties are booming in Dubai, which has become the world capital of so-called branded residences as foreign buyers continue to purchase ultra-luxury homes. This week, a buyer agreed to pay 203.1 million dirhams ($55.3 million) for a five-bedroom, Baccarat-branded apartment in a project that hasn’t even broken ground yet.

Would you pay $449 a year to stream NFL games?

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 05:15:58 GMT

Would you pay $449 a year to stream NFL games? A broken business model is now on full display.For decades, professional sports leagues fleeced cable and satellite companies with exorbitant fees because the broadcasters were able to pass along the costs to all customers, including those that neither wanted nor watched sports programming.The transition to streaming has exposed that racket -- and is making sports prohibitively expensive for all but the most die-hard fans.YouTube TV, which acquired the rights to the NFL Sunday Ticket package last year, says it will charge significantly more for the games than previous license holder DirecTV.Sunday Ticket will cost $349 a year for subscribers who also pony up $73 monthly for YouTube TV's base service plan -- a total $422.If you want football without the service's other offerings, that'll run $449 annually.YouTube, a Google subsidiary, is paying a reported $2 billion a year for rights to Sunday Ticket. DirecTV paid a reported $1.5 billion.In the past, as noted above, sky-high costs fo...

Elizabeth Holmes loses bid to stay out of prison Disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes has been rebuffed in her attempt to stay out of federal prison while she appeals her conviction for the fraud she committed while overseeing a blood-testing scam that exposed Silicon Valley’s dark side.In an 11-page ruling issued late Monday, U.S. District Judge Edward Davila concluded there wasn't compelling enough evidence to allow Holmes to remain free on bail while her lawyers try to persuade an appeals court that alleged misconduct during her four-month trial led to an unjust verdict.The judge’s decision means Holmes, 39, will have to surrender to authorities April 27 to start the more than 11-year prison sentence that Davila imposed in November. The punishment came 10 months after a jury found her guilty on four counts of fraud and conspiracy against the Theranos investors who believed in her promises to revolutionize the health care industry.FILE - Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes, center, walks into federal court in San Jose, ...

NoHo man agrees to plead guilty to lying to FBI agents about fake Basquiat paintings  A North Hollywood man has agreed to plead guilty to lying to FBI agents about the origins of paintings attributed to Jean-Michel Basquiat that were seized last year from the Orlando Museum of Art. Michael Barzman, 45, is charged in federal court with making false statements to the FBI during an August 2022 interview where he denied making any of the fraudulent paintings himself. However, according to a release from the FBI, Barzman and a second man, identified in court documents as “J.F.”, began creating the fake Basquiat paintings in 2012 after “hatching a plan to market the bogus artwork.” “J.F. and Barzman created approximately 20 to 30 artworks by using various art materials to create colorful images on cardboard,” said the plea agreement. “Barzman and J.F. agreed to split the money that they made from selling the fraudulent paintings.” “J.F. spent a maximum of 30 minutes on each image and as little as five minutes on others, and then gave them to Barzman to sell on eBay,” ...
