Why doesn't Denver's skyline block the mountains?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:19:14 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- The Mile High City is constantly under renovation, but the mountains aren't going anywhere, and it's not a coincidence. There's a reason you can still see the Rockies in some parts of the city.Denver doesn't have height limits for buildings, which is why there are buildings as tall as 56 stories. But there are rules against blocking the view of the mountains in some places. The almost unobstructed view of the mountains can be chalked up to plane ordinances, which mainly protect the view of the mountains and east-facing views of downtown. $100 million renovations underway at Empower Field at Mile High When it comes to the size of the building, it all depends on the plane ordinances in a specific area. "View plane ordinances specify a reference point and formulas that calculate allowable building height for buildings in a specific area adjacent to the reference point," said Amanda Weston, marketing and communications specialist  for Denver's Community Planning ...

Prosecutors may be aiming for quick Trump trial by not naming alleged conspirators, experts say

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:19:14 GMT

By RICHARD LARDNER and ALAN SUDERMAN (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — By not naming or charging six alleged co-conspirators in the indictment this week of former President Donald Trump, federal prosecutors may be signaling their desire to expeditiously put the Republican presidential front-runner on trial for seeking to overturn the 2020 election.More defendants mean more defense lawyers, and more legal motions and more delays, according to legal scholars and former prosecutors. Such a large cast of defendants would make it extremely difficult for Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith to get Trump in front of a jury before the final stretch in the 2024 campaign, the experts said.“This keeps it pretty streamlined,” said Christopher Ott, a former federal prosecutor. “All of those motions by defendants affect all of the defendants, including Trump. It would slow things down. If you don’t name and charge them, you don’t have that trouble.&#...

‘I just want to be part of it.’ Over 550 people show up for 160 positions during Orioles’ job fair.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:19:14 GMT

The job application bluntly said employees might need to “stand in a small area for 4-6 hours,” repeatedly climb stairs, or work “in all types of weather including heat, cold, rain” for extended periods.No matter. In this memorable Orioles season, more than 550 people heeded the Birds’ call and lined up at a Camden Yards job fair on Tuesday to become ticket takers, ushers and greeters.While some industries have struggled with labor shortages in the post-pandemic economy, the Orioles quickly knew they had the easiest of sells in a season that has defied lofty expectations and has fans dreaming of a lengthy postseason run.The Orioles, currently in first place in the American League East and eyeing the playoffs, invited people last month on social media to “come join us and be a part of the team” by attending an event during which applicants sat at tables near an upper concourse and filled out employment applications.The team, which normally at...

Massachusetts attorney general has still not released report on clergy sex abuse: ‘It’s really concerning’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:19:14 GMT

A year after the Massachusetts attorney general’s office told advocates that a report on clergy sex abuse was nearly complete, the investigation has still not been published as activists push for the “disappearing report” to come to light.The advocates have been in the dark since last August, when then-AG Maura Healey’s office reportedly promised that the investigation into the Worcester, Springfield and Fall River dioceses had wrapped up — and that the report was about to cross the goal line.But Healey’s office never released the report before she became governor, and new AG Andrea Campbell’s office has not published the report.“It’s become this kind of disappearing report,” Terry McKiernan, president of Bishop Accountability, recently told the Herald.“These reports are incredibly important and validating for survivors,” he later added. “And when you sit down with survivors to talk about these terrible th...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:19:14 GMT

Shortly before the Yankees’ series finale against the Rays on Wednesday, pitchers weren’t quite sure what the rest of their weeks look like.Moments after manager Aaron Boone spoke to media, the team announced that Domingo Germán agreed to voluntarily submit to inpatient treatment for alcohol abuse. Germán, who would’ve been an option to take the mound in the upcoming series against the Astros, will now be placed on the restricted list for the time that he is away from the club.“It is critical that Domingo completely focuses on addressing his health and well-being. We will respect his privacy as he begins this process,” the Yankees wrote in a statement.When speaking to the media before the team announced news on Germán, Boone said “there’s a lot of things going on right now” with the pitching staff, though he didn’t specify. It’s now clear what the manager may have been alluding to.Luis Severino — fresh ...

Patriots training camp Day 8: Mac Jones shines again in Bill O’Brien’s offense, Marte Mapu flashes

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:19:14 GMT

FOXBORO — The Patriots’ best offensive training camp practice in almost two years was a big day built on small moments.Mac Jones hitting four different receivers in rhythm to open team drills. Bailey Zappe completing the longest pass of the summer. Overmatched, backup offensive linemen powering through difficult assignments, and through it all helping restoring a pulse to the Patriots’ once lifeless offense.But one play, which set off an extended end-zone celebration replete with dancing and shouting and more dancing, captured how lively the unit has become under Bill O’Brien.Dropped at the 5-yard line on his final snap of an 11-on-11 period, Jones studied the Patriots’ proud, prowling defense opposite him and called a new play. He gestured to JuJu Smith-Schuster split out wide right, flipped running back Kevin Harris from his left hip onto his right in a shotgun formation and looked left at Kendrick Bourne. Jones barked for the snap.He took a one-step drop a...
