DENVER (KDVR) — Upcoming construction projects should take some pressure off Denver area renters this year. Rent in the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood area spiked to one of the nation's most expensive in 2021 and 2022. Prices have been falling lately, however, and the new apartments may deepen a yearlong trend of emptier apartment buildings. Denver-area home prices nudge up for the 1st time in a year Denver area apartment vacancies have been rising for well over a year through February 2023, along with national rates, but that has not yet translated into substantially lower rent prices. The market is dealing with distortions sparked by the COVID pandemic. Shortly after the COVID pandemic began, the Denver area vacancy rates plummeted by nearly half. Renters across the country were forming new households - swapping a roommate situation for a lone apartment. From July 2020 through September 2021, the Denver area vacancy rate fell from just under 8% to 4.62%, according to Apartment List dat...Volleyball player who lost both legs after being hit by car returns home

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (WJXT) – A father, barber, and jokester, Kevin Witherspoon died unexpectedly last week.“They took care of my mom really good so I was expecting them to do the same thing with my brother,” Frank Chapman, the brother of Witherspoon said about Corey-Kerlin Funeral Homes & Crematory in Jacksonville. His family paid more than $2,000 for an hour-long visitation for family and friends.Witherspoon was supposed to be cremated after the fact. Instead, they ended up with more grief.“I went down there yesterday to check on the clothes for him and they didn’t say anything.

(CNN) — People who consumed foods from the plant-based Mediterranean and brain-focused MIND diets had fewer of the hallmark signs of Alzheimer’s — sticky beta-amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain — when autopsied, a new study found.The MIND diet is short for Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay.In fact, people who most closely followed either of the diets had “almost 40% lower odds” of having enough plaques and tangles in brain tissue to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, according to the study.“People who scored highest for adhering to the Mediterranean diet had average plaque and tangle amounts in their brains similar to being 18 years younger than people who scored lowest,” according to a statement on the study. “Researchers also found people who scored highest for adhering to the MIND diet had average plaque and tangle amounts similar to being 12 years younger than those who scored lowest.&...Orlando Robinson goes from savior to surplus, but still at work for Heat

There was a time when Orlando Robinson was so essential to the Miami Heat that they didn’t know what they would do without the undrafted rookie center.That time was a month ago, when even with the NBA 50-day allotment on his two-way contract dwindling, the Heat got Robinson back into action eight days after he fractured his right thumb.Now the Heat have moved on, having offloaded ineffective backup center Dewayne Dedmon ahead of the Feb. 9 NBA trading deadline and added veteran big men Cody Zeller and Kevin Love on Feb. 20 via the buyout market.Factor in Omer Yurtseven returning from his November ankle surgery, and it basically has come time to thank Robinson for time well served, the Heat again at capacity with their veteran presence at center.Yet despite not being on the active roster since Feb. 15, Robinson said he has turned what some might view as a negative into a positive.“Honestly, it’s been pretty cool,” Robinson said with a smile in the Heat locker ...Man shot by deputies in El Cajon

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Many things about the Academy Awards have changed over the years, but for the past six decades there has been at least one constant: The red carpet. The hues have varied over the years, but it has always been some shade of red. Until this year.On Wednesday outside the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, workers unspooled a champagne-colored carpet as Jimmy Kimmel, who is hosting the 95th Oscars on Sunday, presided over the occasion. “I think the decision to go with a champagne carpet over a red carpet shows how confident we are that no blood will be shed,” Kimmel said.The decision to change the color came from creative consultants Lisa Love, a longtime Vogue contributor, and Raúl Àvila, the creative director for the glamourous Met Gala in New York. This year the carpet will be covered, in part to protect the stars and cameras from the weather, but also to help turn the arrivals into an evening event.
