Back in May, we told you about DNA evidence that led to charges against Dony Salazar for a rape that took place back in 2000. Now, improved DNA technology has resulted in a bust for an even older crime -- the sexual assault of a fourteen year old way back...

What role should mental health play in a discussion of gun-control legislation? Is it possible to limit access to firearms without trampling on the rights of those who battle mental illness? Is a future consensus on gun control within the realm of possibility, or are debates over the Second Amendment...
With the summer vacation season upon us, we recently looked at Cardhub.com's list of the ten worst U.S. travel cities -- and why Denver was the best. Now, TripAdvisor.com has come up with its own breakdown of travel bargains, focusing on overall costs in the top twenty U.S. cities, as...
"I was always a keeper," Alvin Plucker says. "I tend to save everything." And that's an understatement. In the basement of Plucker's spacious ranch house in LaSalle, Colorado, every bit of wall space and every flat surface is cluttered with memorabilia, much of it yellow with age. Clipped to a...
ANIMAL COLLECTIVE @ OGDEN THEATRE | 9/9/13 There were some "gremlins" last night that plagued the stage for Animal Collective at the Ogden, but it didn't hamper the performance. If anything, it heightened it. In one moment of perfect synergy during "My Girls," the power dropped out for one of...
In jazz discussions, the saxophonists and the trumpeters generally dominate the conversation, and rightly so. Equally as integral to the music, though, is the rest of the band. While we've already listed the pianists, and we'll soon be taking a look at bassists and drummers, today we focus on the...

In April 2012, we reported about Robert Dewey being cleared of rape and murder after spending sixteen years in jail. Shortly thereafter, an arrest warrant was written in the name of another man, Douglas Thames, thought to actually be responsible for the crime. Now, two agencies are reportedly in the...
It was the urgency of preserving art that inspired Anne Waldman's newest book. The visionary poet, activist, and co-founder of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University was working on transferring the school's collection of fragile tapes of performances by artists like John Cage, Allen Ginsberg, and...
The information at the heart of our post about the top twelve tourist attractions in Denver was provided by Visit Denver, which just issued a treasure trove of information about who's coming here and why. For instance, the group offers data about the top ten home cities of visitors, but...
The tech world is abuzz in regard to a just-introduced and mighty bold transportation concept: Hyperloop, a large-scale variation on pneumatic tubes used at banks said to hold the potential of transporting people from Los Angeles to San Francisco in thirty minutes. The notion's booster is Elon Musk, the man...
The myth of the rich older man or woman who weds a gorgeous spouse many years younger has been perpetuated by TV, movies and the tabloids. But are such stories the rule or the exceptions? The latter, argues a study by two academics associated with the University of Colorado. Their...
Last month, it got so toasty around here that we shared our list of the top ten Denver places to stay cool in a heat wave. But is Denver actually one of the least steamy major U.S. cities? That's the contention of BestPlaces.net, whose Bert Sperling has assembled a list...

Over the years, Denver has generated a wide variety of memorable television commercials. But until recent years, spots tended to live on only in memory -- like the Tree Farm jingle ("Take I-25 to exit 235, and five miles west to the Tree Farm") that was impossible to forget no...
In 2008, a woman was brutally raped by two men. But the case remained unsolved for years, until a DNA hit led to the arrest of Connie Liphford for the crime. Liphford was sentenced for the crime a year ago this month. Now, Domonique Huntington, charged with being the second...
Last week, CU-Boulder Police's Ryan Huff outlined plans related to the campus' closure on 4/20, and said most visitor-pass applications seemed inspired by Friday's Macklemore concert rather than plans to protest the second consecutive April 20 shutdown. And so it went: While a huge crowd gathered at Denver's Civic Center...
As strip malls go, the one Emerald City calls home is about as run-down as it gets. I'm sure that the surrounding small businesses -- at least four Hispanic-centric Westernwear and boot stores, two sports bars, a liquor store and some taco joints -- all have positives behind their doors...
Willie D and the Geto Boys will be in Denver this Friday for a show at the Summit Music Hall. With that in mind, we could hardly think of a better time to introduce his weekly advice column. So starting today and continuing throughout the week, we'll be running a...
Last month, CU-Boulder announced that it would be closing campus on 4/20 for the second consecutive year -- and attorney Rob Corry, who unsuccessfully challenged the shutdown in 2012, is encouraging Boulderites to take part in Denver's 4/20 rally. If many of them do so, CU-Boulder could be quiet this...

In sharing preliminary 2012 crime states, the Aurora Police Department faces an interesting dilemma -- how to process the July 20 massacre at the Aurora Century 16, which led to a dozen deaths and scores of injuries. APD data shows major crimes in the community went up slightly if the...
Among the documents released yesterday in the Aurora theater shooting case was a wide-ranging inventory of the contents found in accused killer James Holmes's apartment. We've got the complete list below. But among the more interesting items are three video games, none of which are the sort of realistic first-person...
Last week, Union Station Alliance announced the first three restaurant tenants that will be in the rehabbed station for its summer 2012 opening -- local projects all. But while a Snooze, the Kitchen Next Door and a new market/restaurant concept from Fruition's Alex Seidel have signed on, it's still unknown...
Noah Eli Gordon's newest book is hard to pin down. And why would you want to? The Year of the Rooster, out now on Ahsahta Press, is best understood through experience rather than painstaking analysis. It's wild and flowing, playing with gender pronouns, musical imagery, and poetic forms to create...
