A never-ending vacation awaits in the aptly named Stellar Residences at Mountainside, a luxury community set in the Sierra Nevada. “Ease is the key word describing lifestyle here,” said Ron Barnes, senior partner of the group in charge of developing the luxury community. A member’s clubhouse, mile after mile of trails and a level of pampering synonymous with the Ritz-Carlton are among the features at the ski-in/ski-out locale within Lake Tahoe’s Northstar resort.

Eighty percent of the people nominated for an Oscar lose. That’s right. Four out of five people that you see on the red carpet–and clapping from the audience as their arch rivals win–go home, take off the borrowed jewelry and go into a long, long sulk. We can’t have that. And so in our ongoing

Frederik Andersen stopped 30 shots for Anaheim, which has climbed back into playoff contention with an 11-3-1 record since Christmas. Just when it seemed as if Anaheim was in the throes of another second-period meltdown, the Ducks’ NHL-best penalty kill restored order. With Rakell sent to the box for tripping 17 seconds after Zubrus poked in a shot by Brent Burns that trickled through Andersen’s legs to tie the game 1-1, Andrew Cogliano started an odd-man rush the other way.

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares stumbled Wednesday as another steep drop in the price of oil reinforced worries about the potential impact on the world economy of job cuts and reduced investment in the energy industry. Investors are worried about spillover effects from the slump in oil prices as major energy companies cut jobs and investment. Falling oil prices are also an added challenge for economies that are battling deflation at a time when both China and the U.S. are showing signs of faltering growth momentum. Читать дальше...

Some of the United States' largest vintners want to turn this island of sweet rum and flat state-brewed beer into a haven for robust California zinfandel, oaky chardonnay and powerful cabernet sauvignon. The event featured tastings, talks on California's vineyards and one-on-one meetings between U.S. business people and Cuban restaurateurs and state officials. Obama allowed sales of most goods to Cuba on credit through executive action last week but lifting the ban on credit for farm products would require an act of Congress. Читать дальше...

Broncos coach Wade Phillips gets long-awaited 2nd shot at title On Monday, the Broncos’ defensive coordinator was asked about Jan. 28, 1990, when the 49ers scored the most points in Super Bowl history in a 55-10 win over Denver. Phillips, who was in his first stint as the Broncos’ defensive coordinator 26 years ago, smiled and insisted he had erased that Montana-and-Rice-filled file from his mental hard drive. More than a quarter-century later, Phillips, 68, is finally back in the title game, thanks to a defense that’s really good. Читать дальше...

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The city of San Diego on Tuesday agreed to pay $667,000 to former Mayor Bob Filner's executive assistant, who said her boss repeatedly tried to hug and kiss her, locked her in a kitchen and proposed sex on a conference table.

Despite shooting just 35 percent, the No. 15 Cardinal women pulled away in the final five minutes to hand the Bears their seventh loss in their last eight games 53-46 Tuesday night at Maples Pavilion. Chalk part of it to tight defense, but there were plenty of missed shots on open looks from both sides. Stanford clung to a precarious 39-37 lead in the fourth quarter before McCall beat the shot clock with a layup and Samuelson hit a three to open a 44-37 spread. A layup by Range and a three-pointer... Читать дальше...
