Comment on Cooking With O.C. Chefs: Summery ceviche salad has cool cucumbers with a hint of heat

When Coloradans need emergency medical transportation, whether they receive a large bill comes down to chance — and what type of ambulance provider happens to pick them up. Federal and state laws prevent “surprise bills” for rides in air ambulances and in ground ambulances owned by private companies, such as AMR.

Let’s be real. The rectangular design of the quintessential smartphone is getting stale for lots of people, including this graying gadget reviewer. That’s why the next phone I buy won’t be another “same, same” iteration of the iPhone. It will be a foldable, a phone with a bendable display that flips open like a book to increase its screen size and closes up to fit in my pocket. These folding phones, from companies like Samsung, Motorola and Huawei, have been getting buzz since their debut in 2019 thanks to their novel design.

LOS ANGELES — Over the course of an acting career that spanned more than six decades, James Earl Jones’ voice became an indelible piece of his work as a performer. On screen, Jones, who died Monday at 93, brought to life a reclusive writer coaxed back into the spotlight in “Field of Dreams” and a haughty king of a fictional land in “Coming To America.” On stage, he won two Tony Awards for “The Great White Hope” and “Fences.” His work as a voice actor — the regal dignity of his portrayal of Mufasa in “The Lion King” and the menacing and deep timbre he lent to Darth Vader in “Star Wars” — helped cement his place as a legendary actor among generations of fans. But in the wake of his death, an aspect of Jones’ career has come to the fore: consenting to the use of artificial intelligence to replicate his performance as Darth Vader after he stepped away from the role.

Equally pernicious is ballot box budgeting which distorts the state budget process in favor of certain interests by appealing directly to voters through initiatives.

If you looked at the 19 former Broncos nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame this week and wondered if any will reach Canton, the answer is no. This is written with no joy or satisfaction, but even the cases of receiver Demaryius Thomas (positional logjam), cornerback Aqib Talib (needed multiple All-Pro berths) and Tom Nalen (center is a forgotten position) face long odds. So it raises an interesting question: Who will be the Broncos’ next Hall of Famer?

Who’s being unwelcoming now, RTD? Re: “Greyhound buses will get booted by RTD,” Sept. 19 news story I used to live across the street from the old Greyhound Station. I now live a block from Union Station. I was very excited when I heard that Union Station was going to be a true transportation hub for all kinds of travelers and that the Greyhound station would become a part of it.
