Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 18:59:44 GMT

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Andrew Chafin and Abner Uribe combined to allow three straight bases-loaded walks in the 10th inning and the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers lost 7-3 to the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night.Colorado’s Nolan Jones went deep twice for the first multi-homer game of his career. Other homers came from Colorado’s Elias Díaz and Milwaukee’s William Contreras and Andruw Monasterio.But the game was decided by the Milwaukee bullpen’s inability to find the plate in the 10th inning. Chafin (2-4) and Uribe didn’t throw a strike in any of the three bases-loaded walks.Chafin walked Michael Toglia to start the 10th before Brenton Doyle loaded the bases with a bunt single down the third base line. Harold Castro, who began the inning as the automatic runner on second, scored the go-ahead run when Chafin walked Cole Tucker on four pitches.At that point, Uribe came in for Chafin and promptly walked Ezequiel Tovar on three pitches — Uribe started the at-bat with a pitch-cloc...

DENVER (KDVR) -- If you rent in the state of Colorado, you're going to have a few extra layers of protection starting Aug. 7.This is because two laws that passed in the 2023 legislative session are going into effect.These laws are SB23-184, Protections for Rental Tenants, and HB23-1095, Prohibited Provisions In Rental Agreements. Both laws were passed in April and signed into law in June.Income requirements capped at 200% of rentOne big component of SB23-184 is that, with exceptions, prospective tenants won't be required to make any more than 200% of annual rent.Also, landlords will not be allowed to use information about income, except to verify that the tenant makes over 200% of annual rent.

EU Green Deal’s weak point, exposed

This article is part of the Bridging the Skills Divide special report, presented by Cisco. Trinidad del Rocío is 47 years old, lives in Seville and used to work in retail. Now, she spends her working days up a ladder, fixing solar panels onto rooftops.An email from Andalusia’s employment service, recommending a new 13-week intensive course in solar panel installation, sparked her curiosity, del Rocío said. Last year, she completed the course — managed by the skills agency Generation Spain — and now works for a green energy firm. She is, she says via email, “quite proud” to be making a hands-on contribution to Europe’s climate fight.But del Rocío is just one recruit; what Europe needs to reach its vital net-zero climate goals is an army — and right now, it’s a long way from where it needs to be.Speak to anyone in the renewable-energy sector and they will tell you that the workforce — or lack thereof — is now the key limiting factor that could hold back Europe’s transit...

‘Summoning the Spirit’ a Sasquatch misfire

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 18:59:44 GMT

Every day is a good day for a Sasquatch movie. But not every Sasquatch movie is top grade.“Summoning the Spirit” from director and co-writer Jon Garcia is an admirable attempt to move the Bigfoot genre in a new, more up-to-date direction, beginning with making the two, young married leads, Carla (Krystal Millie Valdes) and Dean (Ernesto Reyes) a Latino couple, who often switch from English to Spanish when speaking alone together. These characters experience the tragic loss of their unborn child in the opening scenes.Dean is a not very successful writer, working on his second book. Carla says she is a therapist. But the truth is, she also seems in need of one in this dire time. The recent loss and some apparent infidelity on Dean’s part casts a shadow over them and their future.To make a new start just before the miscarriage, they take a house in the deep woods (the film was shot in Oregon). The weaknesses in the screenplay by Garcia and Zach Carter (“Spunk’s Not Dead”) a...
