Julian Strawther’s breakout game “surreal moment” for Nuggets rookie. Credit Nikola Jokic with the assist: “Empowering people is pretty cool”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:07:57 GMT

Julian Strawther took his seat on the bench Monday night not knowing whether he would have an opportunity to play more minutes than usual, with Jamal Murray injured.The rookie definitely didn’t expect he’d be strutting along the sideline after a heat-check 3-pointer in the middle of a stirring comeback that he helped ignite.“Obviously you know that there are minutes up for grabs, but you don’t know where they’re gonna go,” Strawther said after scoring 21 points across 19 minutes in a 134-116 Nuggets win. “That was not something that was communicated to me pregame.”Once the Nuggets were trailing by double digits in the second quarter, sorely missing Murray, it made sense to have an extra shooter on the floor who could at least give Denver a chance to match the Pelicans’ lineup of flamethrowers. Even while the team was shooting 2-for-15 from 3-point range.Strawther is self-aware about his job and the circumstances.“Come in, p...

Internationally renowned jazz trumpeter Maynard Ferguson once said, “Change is always happening. That’s the wonderful thing about jazz music.” But for the Vail Jazz Foundation, an organization-altering change forced the Vail-based nonprofit to shut down the bulk of its operations in late October after 29 years.The seismic shift? The passing of beloved founder Howard Stone, who died on Aug. 3, 2022, from post-surgical complications. Stone’s passing left a huge void, and his deep fundraising reach and managerial acumen have left the foundation with a substantial financial burden.Howard Stone, the founder of the Vail Jazz Party and the Vail Jazz Foundation, addresses the crowd at a past Vail Jazz performance.

Elizabeth Hirschhorn, referred to as the “tenant from hell," has moved out of the Brentwood Airbnb rental she has been staying in since 2021.Hirschhorn was escorted out of the guest house last Friday by police after she had been living there “rent-free” for 575 days, People magazine reported.

Airbnb renter stays at Brentwood home for more than a year without paying Sascha Jovanovic, the landlord, met Hirschhorn when she rented his guesthouse through Airbnb for six months at $105 per night. When her stay was over and she refused to leave, that’s when the trouble started.Hirschhorn’s attorney previously told the Los Angeles Times that “she was not required to pay rent because the city had never approved the unit for occupancy and that its shower was constructed without a permit.”“This is like a nightmare, to be honest,” Jovanovic previously told KTLA. “This is extortion.
