SUMMIT COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — Some of Colorado’s highest peaks are beginning to feel like winter as high alpine roads and ski areas saw their first significant dusting of snow Monday night into Tuesday morning.“Just driving over here this morning, I was cheesing the whole way seeing all the snow,” said Maxwell Winter, communications manager at Keystone Resort.

According to Winter, once the forecast shows conditions are right to fire up the snow guns, the resort can be ready to open within two or three days.Loveland Ski Area has already started making snow for the season.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:45:25 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — On Wednesday, Oct. 4, at approximately 12:20 p.m., two odd-sounding national alerts will go off on all TVs, radios and phones.This is only a test. The messages are part of a nationwide test conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Communications Commission.The point of these alerts is to test out the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency System. No more warnings: Drive over the line, pay the fine The alert will only last a minute on the radio, television broadcasts, cable systems, satellite radio, television providers and wireline video providers. The message will read:“This is a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System, issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, covering the United States from 14:20 to 14:50 hours ET.

Jourová: New media law will be ‘major warning signal’ for EU countries

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:45:25 GMT

European Commission Vice President Věra Jourová has high expectations for the first-of-a-kind EU media rulebook, which cleared a key vote in Parliament on Tuesday.“The European Media Freedom Act will be a major warning signal for member states,” she told POLITICO in an interview in Strasbourg. The new regulation, which aims to secure media independence against political pressure and foster pluralism across the bloc, could well turn into a thorn in the side of the Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán, whose Fidesz party has seized de facto control of 80 percent of the country’s media through “political and economic” maneuvers according to Reporters without Borders’ latest World Press Freedom index.“We cannot unscramble the scrambled eggs,” in Hungary, Jourová said — a country “where everything and everybody is dependent on one party,” where “there is no public media but state media” and where “the difference between sup...

Kevin McCarthy out as US speaker

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:45:25 GMT

For the first time in history, the House has deposed its speaker.Democrats joined with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and his small group of conservative allies to vote to strip Kevin McCarthy of his gavel Tuesday. It’s unclear who would succeed McCarthy long term, though his allies expect he will try to run for speaker again and members pledged to continue supporting him.“We’re perfectly happy to drag this out as long as it takes,” said Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.), a McCarthy ally. “We’re all going to be there for the speaker as long as he wants us to be.”“I’ll continue to support Kevin McCarthy as long as he’s running,” echoed Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.)The House clerk announced Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) would act as a temporary speaker immediately after the vote concluded. McHenry was selected from a secret list of McCarthy’s hand-picked successors. The Californian’s ally will have all the authority of a regularly el...

Director keeps spirit of original in ‘Exorcist Believer’

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:45:25 GMT

After a successful franchise reboot with the “Halloween” trilogy, David Gordon Green now attempts to do the same with the far more complex horror classic “The Exorcist.”Green’s “The Exorcist: Believer,” opening nationwide Friday, eliminates every one of the less than stellar “Exorcist” spawns of the last half century to begin with a direct sequel to director William Friedkin’s Oscar-winning original, which was adapted from William Peter Blatty’s bestselling novel about a young girl’s terrifying possession by a demon.“Like so many filmmakers, I was incredibly inspired by the film that Friedkin made in 1973. What it did as a touchstone before was so brilliant and timeless” Green, 48, said last week in a Zoom interview.“It didn’t fall into the traps and tropes of horror movies. It played — as he referred to it — as ‘a theological thriller.’ And I think that’s the right attitude that you have to take when you’re making something that deals with the sensitiv...

Klietmann: Medicare drug price controls Rx for confusion

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:45:25 GMT

Medicare just named the first 10 medicines subject to government price controls under the Inflation Reduction Act. Healthcare experts thought we had a good idea of which drugs would be on the list — largely based on Medicare statements about how it was going to choose.Instead, much of the list was a surprise, creating deep uncertainty in the life-sciences industry. As the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services implements the new rules, it must do so with more transparency. Otherwise, it will jeopardize drug development for years to come at the expense of patients.Passed last year, the IRA empowers Medicare to set prices for prescription medicines. CMS, which oversees Medicare, first published guidance on how it would implement the new system in March. The agency says it recognizes the “complexity” of drug pricing. Yet it gave the public just 30 days to respond.Experts and patient advocates scrambled to submit more than 7,500 comments before the deadline. Many...

Green chili with salsa verde chases away fall chill

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:45:25 GMT

Now that it’s officially fall, and the weather is getting cooler, many of us are turning to foods that are a little heartier.A rich and warming pot of chili is a good dish to make the transition from summer to autumn in part because it’s a perfect football food — it feeds a crowd and it’s so easy to eat on the couch in front of the TV. Chili is also versatile, and can satisfy a vegetarian as well as a carnivore, depending on the mix of ingredients.It’s also equal opportunity when it comes to spice. If you love a dish that makes your lips and taste buds burn, throw a few more chili peppers or tablespoons of chili powder into the pot. If you’re more reserved, use less or choose a milder chili pepper, such as poblano.This green chili combines chunks of pork tenderloin with white onion, garlic and salsa verde. Cannellini beans, a type of white kidney bean, add protein and fiber without overpowering the other flavors. I also add fresh jalapeno pepper for a g...

Olson: More Dems take dim view of right to free speech

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:45:25 GMT

Once a solid pillar of American society, free speech seems to be cracking. It used to be an American principle that the everyday American citizen could agree on, a universal given. But recent surveys reveal that this fundamental value is increasingly up for debate, and the speed of this change is alarming.In a new RealClear Opinion Research poll, nearly half of Democrats are comfortable openly admitting to a stranger over the phone that they support limiting what people can say. A startling 47% said that speech should be legal “only under certain circumstances,” and 52% of Democrats approved of government censoring social media posts for “national security.” Even more shocking, a third of Democrats believe Americans have “too much freedom.”By contrast, 74% of registered Republicans and 61% of independents say speech should be legal “under any circumstances.”As a pollster, I find these numbers unnerving. People are generally reluctant to share unpopular beliefs with interviewers. Tha...
