• 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

• Our March Madness picks: A prelude to humiliation...

  A photo-illustration from the University of Pittsburgh website. Each year, I sit down with my daughter Lora -- a rabid sports fan with strong opinions about 9News' Susie Wargin -- to fill out NCAA tournament brackets for both the men's and women's basketball championships as part of a friendly contest organized by my wife's peers in the Archdiocese of Denver school system. We usually do pretty well, although our track record in the women's tourney is better than it is with the men's version. If

• Our March Madness predictions: A sad start to the women's second round

  Italee Lucas' 21 points weren't enough for the Tar Heels. "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation...," published March 18, shared brackets assembled by me and my daughter, Lora, for both the men's and women's NCAA basketball tournaments -- and in an update posted yesterday, I noted that our women's picks had proven more accurate than the men's in the first round. Unfortunately, this hasn't proven to be a trend. Last night was catastrophic: We wound up just 4-4, incorrectly gues

• Our March Madness predictions: Savaged by (Baylor) Bears

  Louisville's late burst plowed under Kelli Griffin's Baylor squad. The women's NCAA basketball bracket put together by my daughter Lora and me isn't quite as calamitous as our men's picks, but close. The big blow: Baylor, which we designated to reach the finals, went dry late in the second half of its contest with Louisville, eventually tumbling by a whopping seventeen points. Four of our Elite Eight are still standing upright, including Connecticut, which will only be knocked out if all of its

• Our March Madness predictions: 0-2 in the women's tourney last night

  Going slow and steady didn't help Marissa Coleman's Maryland Terps. The women's NCAA basketball tournament bracket my daughter Lora and I shared in "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation..." have taken a pounding, and last night's pair of Elite Eight games didn't help -- not that they could have. Stanford beat Iowa State, but we had the Cardinal losing to Duke, which fell long ago. And while we correctly guessed that Maryland wouldn't make it past this point, we thought they'd

  Connecticut's Maya Moore. The updates that have followed in the wake of the March 18 blog "Our March Madness Predictions: A Prelude to Humiliation...," which shared choices in the men's and women's NCAA basketball tournament made by my daughter Lora and me, have been grim at times. Last night, though, the news was better when it came to the pair of women's Elite Eight contests, if resolutely unsurprising. Connecticut took it easy on Arizona State, only winning by nineteen points, while Oklahoma

  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

But it's reassuring that the Boulder Police Department is able to devote so much manpower to investigating crimes that might receive only cursory attention in Denver. In the past week or so,

In Durango, for instance, officials approved preliminary tweaks in regulations, setting hours of operation and forbidding such businesses to locate in residential neighborhoods. Against this backdrop, the Cannabis Therapy Institute, one of the state's most vigorous medical-marijuana advocacy g
