Developers will soon break ground on a 53-unit condo building at the base of the Snowmass Ski Area that will run entirely on renewable, electric power. It’s the latest example of a growing trend in new construction in a part of Colorado confronted with a changing climate and reliant on snowy winters to power its tourism economy. The forthcoming Electric Pass Lodge takes its name from an actual mountain pass south of Snowmass Village. Its power, meanwhile, will come from a rooftop solar array and other renewable sources of electricity available through local utility Holy Cross Energy, according to developer East West Partners. Building structures to LEED program sustainability standards has become commonplace for East West, said Andy Gunion, the company’s managing partner in the Roaring For

Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray was fined $25,000 following his ejection in the third quarter of Monday night’s game against Dallas, the NBA announced on Wednesday. Murray drew a flagrant 2 after he got tangled up with Dallas wing Tim Hardaway Jr. and made excessive contact near Hardaway’s groin. The two had been physical the entire game. After Murray collided with Hardaway with 4:51 remaining in the third quarter, he pulled himself up by grabbing Hardaway’s leg with his left arm and wrapping his right arm in between his legs. Hardaway immediately grabbed at his groin. Following the game, Nuggets coach Michael Malone said official Zach Zarba told him replays showed it was “fairly obvious.” Via @AltitudeTV broadcast last night, I thought this was the best angle on the Jamal Murray ejecti...

Looking to cook up some primo pizza at home? Here, Brohner shares a few tips for doughing it yourself. Track Everything Brohner remembers giving Bestia chef Ori Menashe some simple advice: Use a thermometer. He also suggests using a stopwatch, getting a scale, and keeping a “dough journal” detailing everything you did, the precise conditions, and how the pizza turned out. That’s how you can best get an idea of what truly works. “The recipe is the constant,” Brohner says. “The problem people have is managing the things that change.” Use Your Hands Even if you have a professional mixer, your dough will improve if you finish it with your hands. “Artisan baking is a craft just like carpentry is a craft,” Brohner says. “A lot of what’s going on is hand feel.

Summary List PlacementOn Monday, Google announced that it plans to begin testing out a replacement for third-party cookies with advertisers during the second quarter of this year. The company has been testing what it calls Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC) internally and says it's "encouraged by what we've observed and the value that this solution offers to users, publishers and advertisers."   First, it's worth mentioning that users, publishers, and advertisers have very different interests. For example, the conversation about eliminating cookies has largely centered on the privacy implications for users. But Google has a different motivation. More than 80% of its business comes from selling ads. It constitutes over 30% of the digital ad market. Many of those ads depend on cookies. ...

Countless directors have contended with the curse of the sophomore slump, but the saga of “Southland Tales” exists in a category of its own. Five years after his cult hit “Donnie Darko” established the filmmaker’s unique, surrealistic sci-fi voice, the filmmaker’s large-scale follow-up broke all the rules. Maligned at Cannes in 2006 when it premiered in an unfinished version, “Southland Tales” went back to the editing room, lost 20 minutes, and stumbled into theaters later in the year. Now, a new Blu-ray release from Arrow Video has brought the 160-minute Cannes cut to the public for the first time, and with it, an opportunity to fully assess one of the strangest American movies of this young century. An audacious near-future pop fever dream under the guise of blockbuster aesthetics, “Sout

New health restrictions in Santa Clara County that extend beyond the current statewide mandate could deal a fatal blow to the prospect of a spring high-school sports season in the county. The new measures, which were unveiled at a meeting of school superintendents Tuesday afternoon, prohibit any practice or competition between two “stable groups,” which would be defined as individual teams. Indoors, “stable groups” must be kept in separate rooms and outdoors, they must keep at least 25 feet apart. Additionally, the county will require at least six feet of distance be kept among participants, even within a single group, and bar any travel beyond county lines to skirt the new rules.
