Cryptic banner hints at Rolling Stones return to Denver in 2024

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:40:54 GMT

When a red and black banner featuring the Rolling Stones’ iconic logo mysteriously appeared on the side of Mile High stadium (then called Invesco Field, now called Empower) in November 2018, rock-and-roll fans around Colorado began feeling some nervous satisfaction.Were the Stones returning to Denver to play a show? With Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts all being in their 70s at the time, it seemed like any chance to see the band — which has been rocking since 1962 —  was a gift worth accepting.The band did play, in August 2019 (the original May date was postponed after Jagged had heart surgery), to a sold-out crowd, and they absolutely crushed it. But that would be the last time Watts, the drummer, would be in town; he died two years later at the age of 80.Related: Rolling Stones conjure moments of awe in return to DenverLate last week, another banner was unfurled at the stadium — and Tweeted about by music promoter AEG Presents Roc...

Michael E. Fox, Sr. made helping the community his mission

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:40:54 GMT

To see the crowd that packed Mission Santa Clara on Friday to celebrate the life of Michael E. Fox Sr. was to understand a lot about who he was. The Saratoga resident, who died Nov. 3 at age 87, was a businessman, a husband, a political influencer, a dad, a philanthropist, a man of faith and — he would want said — a recovering alcoholic who shared his story to help others.The Rev. Peter Pabst — who celebrated the Mass along with several other clergy including Bishop Oscar Cantú — said Fox’s priorities were four “Fs”: faith, family, friend and philanthropy. “He supported causes that would lift others up,” Pabst said. “Generosity was an understatement.”Attendees stand as the casket of Michael E. Fox Sr. enters Mission Santa Clara de Asís in Santa Clara, Calif., on Friday, Nov. 17, 2023.

Argentine presidential candidate Milei goes to the opera — and meets both cheers and jeers

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:40:54 GMT

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Both cheers and jeers for Argentina’s right-wing presidential candidate resounded with acoustic perfection inside the country’s legendary Colón Theater, laying bare the country’s polarization on the eve of Sunday’s runoff.The audience had gathered Friday evening in Latin America’s premiere opera house that is world-renowned for its acoustics to watch a performance of “Madama Butterfly” — but Javier Milei soon became the main event. A group began insulting him as he sat in the front row of a box alongside his girlfriend.“Milei, trash, you are the dictatorship!” some attendees chanted at the candidate. He has downplayed Argentina’s bloody 1976-1983 military rule, saying the number of its victims is far below what human rights organizations have long claimed, among other controversial positions.Some videos on social media also showed a few orchestra musicians playing the “Peronist March,” an anthem of the political party of Economy Minister Sergio M...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:40:54 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Matt Wallace made nine consecutive birdies Saturday, all of them on the back nine for a 12-under 60 in the DP World Tour Championship.Wallace had a chance at the only the second 59 in European tour history. He had 202 yards to the green on the par-5 18th on the Earth course at Jumeirah Golf Estates. But he hit into a bunker, and hit out to inches from the cup for a tap-in birdie.The nine consecutive birdies equal the European tour’s best by James Nitties of Australia in the 2019 Vic Open. The tour said it would not be considered a record because of preferred lies from overnight rains. Bernd Wiesberger in the 2017 Maybank Championship in Malaysia also had nine birdies in a row while playing under preferred lies.Wallace also matched the European best — but not an official record — with 12 birdies in one round. Raphaël Jacquelin set the official record in the 2013 Turkish Open.Wallace holed from 30 feet on the 10th hole and from 18 feet on the 1...

Las propuestas de Sergio Massa para llegar a la Presidencia de Argentina

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 12:40:54 GMT

(CNN) –– El actual ministro de Economía de Argentina, Sergio Massa, ya lo dijo en una entrevista con medios locales: “El problema hoy es que tengo los dos sombreros puestos, el de la campaña presidencial y el de la gestión”. Esto podría verse como una desventaja o como una posibilidad de mostrar con hechos lo que vendrá en caso de quedarse con el sillón de la Casa Rosada.Sin embargo, los datos parecen no ayudar. Mientras la oposición lo acusa de usar recursos del Estado para ofrecer en medio de la campaña múltiples beneficios a la población y a sectores empresarios, su gestión en la cartera económica carga con un gran aumento en la inflación interanual.¿Quién es Sergio Massa? De las idas y vueltas con el kirchnerismo a la precandidatura presidencial por el peronismoLo cierto es que desde que la coalición oficialista Unión por la Patria lo propuso como precandidato presidencial, Massa no hizo una presentación oficial de lo que sería su programa de gobierno.
