• Young Coyotes to release pair of EPs next month

  Young Coyotes have been together less than a year, but in that short time, the act has already embarked on an extensive cross country tour, attracted a high powered manager in Blee Music's Brian Swartz (Rose Hill Drive), and, most noteworthy, generated a substantial buzz locally. In what literally seemed like milliseconds after forming, the band went from playing Saturday matinee sets at places like Lifespot last summer to garnering envious slots on choice gigs like Monolith's VIP party and Hot

• Dude, where's my lawyer? Francis "lawyer rat" Pignatelli officially banned from Colorado courts

  If there was just one tenet of belief among the sneaky ranks of big-time criminal defense attorneys, it would be this: Thou shall not squeal on a client. Francis Pignatelli was a prominent defense attorney in Ohio until 2005, when federal agents learned that he had been helping clients launder drug money in exchange for a cut of the proceeds. To temporarily avoid prosecution, Pignatelli acted as an undercover informant for investigators, helping to obtain evidence that led to the arrest of t

• Our March Madness predictions: The men's Sweet Sixteen is looking pretty sweet

  Toney Douglas, in a photo from Florida State's website. The headline on "Our March Madness picks: A prelude to humiliation...," a March 18 blog in which I shared the NCAA brackets filled out by my daughter Lora and me, may prove to be prescient very soon -- but at this point, we're still hanging in there. We correctly named fourteen of the Sweet Sixteen competitors in the men's tourney, and since we predicted that the two exceptions would fall in round three, the possibility of a perfect Elite

• Our March Madness predictions: The men's bracket is busted

  Sam Young's 28 points weren't enough to secure a Pitt victory. The NCAA men's basketball bracket assembled by my daughter Lora and me and shared in the March 18 blog "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation...," was looking shaky prior to the beginning of weekend play. Now it's essentially a heap of rubble thanks to Villanova's soul-crushing, last-nanosecond victory over the University of Pittsburgh Panthers, our choice to win it all. This loss means that neither of the crews we

• Our March Madness predictions: The end is near

  Tyler Hansbrough. The March 18 blog "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation..." shared NCAA men's and women's basketball picks made by my daughter Lora and me, which fell short of flawless. True, we had Connecticut making it to the women's finals on Tuesday, but not Louisville, which surprised Oklahoma over the weekend. And we didn't choose either North Carolina or Michigan State as competitors in the men's championship game tonight -- although the reasons are a bit complicated

• Sam Taylor's gets to the meatless of the matter

  ​It's hard to imagine anything more meaty than BBQ. It is a cuisine based entirely on the flesh of the pig, the cow and, in some cases, the chicken. So it's no surprise that a BBQ joint owner might hang up on a sales rep trying to sell him vegan meat substitutes. That's certainly happened a lot to Jeff Friedrich of Gardein, a Canadian company that uses a blend of veggies, grains and soy to make simulated pulled pork, beef skewers, chicken breasts and other meatless meats. But not when he

  Dean Singleton.​The death of the joint-operating agreement that was supposed to sustain a business partnership between the Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News for a half-century but didn't survive for even one decade can't help seeming anticlimactic. After all, the Rocky's been gone for six months now, as John Temple, the tabloid's former editor, publisher and president, noted on his blog in an often-depressing rundown of comments from former staffers. Since then, the Post has moved fo
