Comment on The Housecleaning Job That Saved My Life

By ERIC TUCKER (Associated Press) WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court hears arguments Thursday over whether Donald Trump is immune from prosecution in a case charging him with plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. It’s a historic day for the court, with the justices having an opportunity to decide once and for all whether former presidents can be prosecuted for official acts they take while in the White House. But between a decades-old court case about Richard Nixon, and an obscure constitutional provision about presidential impeachments, there are likely to be some unfamiliar concepts and terms thrown about. Here are some tips to help follow everything: WHEN DOES THE SESSION START? The court marshal will bang the gavel at 10 a.m.

By LAURAN NEERGAARD (AP Medical Writer) NEW YORK — Doctors have transplanted a pig kidney into a New Jersey woman who was near death, part of a dramatic pair of surgeries that also stabilized her failing heart. Lisa Pisano’s combination of heart and kidney failure left her too sick to qualify for a traditional transplant, and out of options.

By JONEL ALECCIA (AP Health Writer) The nation’s school meals will get a makeover under new nutrition standards that limit added sugars for the first time, the U. S.

By LINDSAY WHITEHURST (Associated Press) WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court will consider Wednesday when doctors can provide abortions during medical emergencies in states with bans enacted after the high court’s sweeping decision overturning Roe v.

When Denver International Airport announced in 2015 that it was looking for a local company to build and operate a brewery inside the attached Westin hotel, it was big news. Not only would an onsite brewery highlight Colorado’s exploding craft beer scene, but it would also give DIA some cachet as one of the first and only airports to have a brewery physically located on its property. “It’s a chance to be unique and do something that someone else hasn’t done,” DIA’s then-senior vice president for concessions Neil Maxfield told Westword at the time, adding that the winning brewery would be required to make a signature IPA that would be served only at the airport. But that was one of the last times airport officials had anything frothy to say about the brewery, which has proven to be anything but a party.

Apartment rents and vacancy rates in metro Denver stayed mostly flat as the market absorbed an unexpectedly large number of new units in the first quarter. Developers delivered 5,144 apartments in the first three months. And despite reports from the U. S. Census Bureau of slowing migration to Colorado, tenants absorbed 5,034 of those units, according to the 2024 First Quarter Vacancy & Rent Report for Metro Denver from the Apartment Association of Metro Denver. The Denver market has delivered 27,000 apartments in the past two years, outstripping the historical average of 10,000 deliveries over two years. Over the last four years, one of the most robust stretches on record, developers have delivered 2,900 units a quarter. Even by recent standards, the first quarter was robust. “It was a really good quarter,” said Cary Bruteig, founder of Apartment Insights and author of the report. The absorption of so many units in what typically isn’t a busy season for leasing had Bruteig complimenting landlords on their marketing efforts and questioning the accuracy of reports that fewer people are relocating to the region. Some of that new supply reflects conversions of old hotel rooms in Denver into studio apartments to house people experiencing homelessness.
