A new industrial park is planned just north of Denver, one the developer says will help fill a gap in a part of the market where demand for industrial space outpaces supply.Hines, a global real estate investment and development firm, is building the 868,360-square-foot project in unincorporated Adams County, west of Interstate 25 on 56th Avenue.The first phase of Quantum 56 will be three buildings totaling 581,250 square feet of warehouse and manufacturing space, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2024.“This is really the last large-parcel industrial development in the north-central submarket. There really are no other sites greater than 10 or 15 acres in this whole submarket,” said Jason White, managing director of JLL, a global commercial real estate company with an office in Denver.The entire site is 60 acres and the first phase will sit on nearly 32 acres.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ferguson has been charged with multiple felonies in the shooting death of his wife at their Anaheim Hills home last week, a crime prosecutors say he confessed to his courtroom coworkers.Ferguson, 72, is accused of shooting 65-year-old Sheryl Ferguson on Aug. 3, then texting his court clerk and bailiff that he "just lost it," according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office and reporting by the Associated Press."I just shot my wife. I won’t be in tomorrow. I will be in custody. I’m so sorry," Ferguson allegedly wrote.According to the AP, prosecutors claim that after an argument at a restaurant, the Fergusons returned home, where the dispute continued.After Sheryl Ferguson said something to the effect of “why don’t you point a real gun at me?,” the judge produced a pistol from his ankle holster and shot her in the chest, according to court documents filed by prosecutors.The Fergusons' adult son, who reported the shooting to police, a...Attorney general appoints Hunter Biden special counsel

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday appointed David Weiss, the Delaware federal prosecutor who has led the investigation into Hunter Biden, as a special counsel overseeing the investigation.Garland said he made the decision in the politically explosive case after Weiss asked for the appointment. “On Tuesday of this week, Mr. Weiss advised me that in his judgment, his investigation had reached a stage at which he should continue his work as a special counsel, and he asked to be so appointed,” Garland said in a statement to the press Friday. “Upon considering his request, as well as the extraordinary circumstances relating to this matter, I have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint him as special counsel.”Republicans have sharply criticized how the tax probe into Biden was handled, citing claims from two IRS whistleblowers that Weiss was blocked from seeking special counsel status — a claim Weiss and DOJ have consistently denied.Meanwhile, the pending plea dea...Oxnard man admits to providing gun used in fatal 2017 shooting

An Oxnard man pleaded guilty on Thursday to several charges connected to a 2017 shooting that killed a woman and wounded another person.Jacob Jamal Steir, 26, admitted to voluntary manslaughter, attempted murder and three special allegations, including his second felony strike, according to a press release from Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko.On Oct. 8, 2017, Alexis Jean Lopez was killed and her passenger wounded when an "associate" of Steir opened fire on their vehicle in the Neyland Acres of unincorporated Oxnard, apparently under the mistaken belief that the passenger was involved in an unrelated shooting earlier that day, the DA's office said.Steir provided his illegally owned gun to his associate for the shooting, as proven by forensic tests on the weapon, prosecutors said.The shooter has not yet been arrested, but the prosecutor of Steir's case, Senior Deputy District Attorney John Barrick, said officials hope to rectify that in the near future."I am very appre...Edwin Vincent Hoffman Arrested after Fatal Multi-Car Crash on Interstate 5 [Oceanside, CA]

My song is mixed with English and Japanese, so not only is it a fusion of the languages, it’s a fusion of the sound as well because it’s more of a western beat that you would technically hear in America more maybe. But the lyrics and the melody are more Japanese-inspired in that it’s soft and more emotional. So yeah, I think it’s not the most generic way of describing J-pop, but it’s something I define as my kind of J-pop.”In “Not Another DJ,” BT...How the soft-top surfboard went from ‘kook’ to cool
Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 00:57:46 GMT
It wasn’t long ago that the soft-top surfboard was scoffed at, used only by novices. A surfer on a soft top was either a beginner just learning to navigate the whitewash or they were a “kook,” a clueless surfer not yet skilled enough for a real board.Despite the soft top being created in the 1970s, it took decades for the foam-filled board to be accepted into surfing culture. But much has changed in the past 15 years or so, and while there are still plenty of naysayers, it seems the soft top has found its place in the crowded lineup.At T-Street Beach in San Clemente, an event on Saturday, Aug. 12 hosted by Red Bull and Catch Surf, a local brand that has helped wipe out the soft top stigma in recent years, will showcase a less-serious side of surfing with a fun competition called Red Bull Foam Wreckers, a wacky, light-hearted event where the silliest ride on a soft top is celebrated.And with the backing of pro surfing icons and Catch Surf team riders Jaime O’Brien, who will be in fro...Pac-12 rebuild: Estimating the media valuation of a reconstructed conference

The market rendered its verdict last week as Apple offered $25 million per school annually for the Pac-12’s media rights, with the potential for more if the conference met certain subscription goals.But how much would a rebuilt conference be worth?The mass exodus on Pitch-Black Friday left a quartet of schools and one gigantic question behind: Will Stanford and Cal link arms with Washington State and Oregon State to reform the Pac-12 through possible raids of the Mountain West and American conferences?What revenue levels could a Pac-8 or Pac-10 command? That market doesn’t exist yet, so we created one.The Hotline teamed with an expert in sports media valuation to estimate the market value of a rebuilt conference.Because of the unusual nature of the project, which leaned into established audience data and media contracts but combined teams from three leagues, we made a slew of assumptions:— The contract cycle was pegged to begin next fall, when the rebuilt Pac-12 would begin its next...Opinion: I got an up-close view of how one city struggled to address homelessness

Editor’s Note: This article was written for Mosaic Vision, an independent journalism training program for high school students who report and photograph stories under the guidance of professional journalists.When the city of Santa Clara proposed its plan to build interim housing for unhoused people at Benton Street and Lawrence Expressway, I saw it as a major step toward combating homelessness in our county.But while the city and its partner, Santa Clara County, touted the move as a possible solution, many neighbors had significant objections to the plan.Throughout five months of community review, opponents assailed what they saw as poor planning and later expressed concerns over costs. Neighbors seized on those arguments and their objections prolonged the process —leaving people unsheltered.As an average student rarely involved in local politics, I was first intrigued by the shelter’s proposal but was caught off guard by the growing anger expressed at each meeting. At one point, I ...Latest news
