GUNNISON COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — The search continues for 7-year-old Ullr, a border collie, rottweiler, wolf mix, who was lost during a deadly avalanche southwest of the Town of Marble two weeks ago. Now, his owner is looking for help from trained scent and search dogs to help find his best friend. “They got me and flew me to the Aspen Valley Hospital. At that point, all night I thought Ullr was buried and dead," Ullr's owner, Jacob Dalbey said. Dalbey survived the avalanche. “It carried me 2,500 feet and fully buried me and fully buried my friend Joel who passed away, and I had to dig myself out for three-plus hours," Daleby said. How much snow could Denver see in April? Dalbey said the day after the avalanche, there was a glimpse of hope that his dog was still alive after tracks were found in the area. “They did notice tracks leaving the debris field and exiting all the way out the drainage which is five miles away," Dalbey said.

Bulgarian election too close to call after fifth vote in 2 years

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 10:25:10 GMT

No clear winner emerged in Bulgaria’s election on Sunday night, much to the dismay of voters who have been to the polls five times in the last two years.In the first release of results, it seemed that the pro-Western coalition, Continuing the Change and Democratic Bulgaria, had won a narrow majority with 26.4 percent, beating the center-right establishment party, GERB, which scored 25.5 percent. But in a recount, the former scored 24.8 percent while the latter secured the lead with 25.9 percent.Observers expect a clear winner to emerge by Monday after all international voters’ ballots are counted.The vote is seen by many as a make-or-break test for GERB, whose leader Boyko Borissov served as prime minister from 2009 to 2021, until nationwide protests erupted over his government’s role in the country’s rampant corruption.Continuing the Change, led by Harvard graduates Kiril Petkov and Asen Vasilev, and Democratic Bulgaria, led by Hristo Ivanov, have campaigned on a promis...

Nets’ defensive game plan shows promise: ‘We want to get that ball out of their hands’

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 10:25:10 GMT

For Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn, a football analogy best explains his team’s defensive strategy, a strategy that has paved the way for the Nets to win three straight games and four of their last five with Sunday’s win over the Utah Jazz.In football, there’s the run and the pass, and a good defense can take away one and make the other as difficult as possible.The Nets are picking from a comparable set of poisons: They are taking away a team’s No. 1 scoring option and forcing opponents to win with the rest of their roster.The strategy was on full display as the Nets stumped All-Star forward Lauri Markkenen, who mustered just 23 points on 8-of-21 shooting from the field in his first game back after missing two with a hand injury, three points shy of his season average.“You know going into the game that number one dude, he knows how to score. He’s done it before probably and he can probably continue to do it again,” head coach Jacque Vaughn sa...

Knicks clinch playoff berth with victory over short-handed Wizards

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 10:25:10 GMT

CLEVELAND — Break out the kazoos. The Knicks have clinched.A 118-109 victory Sunday over the Wizards assured the franchise a spot in the postseason for just the second time in the last 10 years, with Jalen Brunson leading the charge while Julius Randle and RJ Barrett logged injury/illness DNPs.James Dolan, a kazoo enthusiast, wasn’t in attendance but he’s undoubtedly happy about the circumstances. He declared the playoffs as an expectation this season, and the Knicks obliged — providing the owner the added revenue from postseason games and a hike in ticket prices for next season.Brunson, Immanuel Quickley, Obi Toppin and Quentin Grimes scored at least 21 points apiece, as the Knicks overcame an early deficit to punish the shorthanded Wizards in the second half.The next step for the Knicks (46-33) is to stave off the Nets (43-34) to secure the fifth spot and a first-round matchup against Cleveland.Sunday was a gimme.The Wizards sat four of their regular starte...

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 10:25:10 GMT

Kyle Tucker appeared to have an extra-base hit.Luis Robert Jr. had other ideas.The Chicago White Sox center fielder was shaded toward right-center. He raced to left-center and made a miraculous sliding catch to rob Tucker in the ninth inning Sunday in front of 42,835 at Minute Maid Park.The grab helped preserve a 6-3 victory for the Sox, who earned an impressive split of the four-game series against the reigning World Series champion Houston Astros.“I knew that it was a hard-hit ball and it was far,” Robert said through an interpreter. “I saw when the ball was in the air and I just put my head down and ran as fast as I could. When I put my head up again, I saw the ball and was there.”The catch was the second out of the inning. Two runners were on base and the Sox had a five-run lead. The Astros got back-to-back RBI singles after the play to bring the tying run to the plate before Chas McCormick popped out to first baseman Andrew Vaughn to end the game.Sox man...
