8212; Rimmed to the south by a 3-mile stretch of Pacific beach, and to the north by craggy bluffs and deep, verdant canyons, the seaside enclave of Pacific Palisades has long been a celebrity hideaway and magnet for those drawn to nature’s doorstep not far from the skyline of downtown Los Angeles.

Jared Bednar won’t go very long without thinking about his hockey team or his various outdoor-related passions. It certainly shouldn’t be surprising when he finds a way to tie the two together.

Several large landlords allegedly colluded in an effort to keep apartment rents high, including by using an algorithm that influences prices, according to new legal filings by the Colorado attorney general, the U.

A 77-year-old Jefferson County man who served as the mayor, police and fire chief of the tiny town of Lakeside pleaded guilty on Tuesday to embezzlement and official misconduct in a car-flipping scheme. Robert Joel Gordanier pleaded guilty to one felony and one misdemeanor charge and was sentenced to four years of probation, the 1st Judicial District Attorney’s Office said. Gordanier’s other charges — two counts of embezzlement, two counts of official misconduct and felony theft — were dismissed as part of the plea agreement. Gordanier also received a deferred sentence and must pay the town $26,088. Investigators accused Gordanier of buying police vehicles from other jurisdictions and selling them to his daughter, former Town Clerk Brenda Hamilton, for a fraction of their market value.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials said a group of ice climbers in Lake City encountered the distressed elk Friday morning, and a CPW biologist darted the ungulate with a tranquilizer and covered part of its head with a ski mask to protect its eyes during the rescue.

That’s when the ice climbers who reported the stranded elk came to the rescue by helping state wildlife officers rig a system that used two ropes — one under its chest and another along its antlers — to lower it to the base of the route.
