  • Buckle up, or else

    Haley's Comment

    Drivers who don’t buckle up could face traffic stops and higher fines under a bill that gets its first hearing this afternoon. Traffic cops can ticket drivers for not wearing seatbelts now, but only if they’re stopped for other offenses. Fines would also jump $10 to $75 for violations under [...]

  • Drink Beer for your Bones?

    Haley's Comment

    This is HUGE news! A study says beer may help strengthen bones. In other words, beer might be good for you. It gets better (for me, at least): The beer that delivers the most bone-enhancing mojo is India Pale Ale. As a complete hophead, this is largely what I drink, [...]

  • Wolski sits out practice

    Haley's Comment

    But the word on Wolski is that he’s ok, despite sitting out practice today. Wolski was limping after the game last night after blocking a shot, but he’s ok, Joe Sacco said. O’reilly didn’t skate today either. He probably won’t play tomorrow against Atlanta. [...]

  • CSU’s Meyer named Top 25 recruiter

    Haley's Comment

    Colorado State offensive coordinator Pat Meyer’s recruiting blitz did not go unnoticed outside of Fort Collins and his home-away-from home in Orlando. Rivals.com named the ex-Ram offensive lineman to its list of Top 25 recruiters of the 2010 class. Besides his 11 signees from Florida, Meyer was credited for helping [...]

  • "Ink By The Barrel"

    ColoradoPols.com

    We don't know how smart this really was, from The Spot (a Denver Post property):

    Senate Republicans Monday night said they found one industry whose tax break they actually were OK with eliminating: newspapers.

    Newspapers are not subject to sales tax, and eliminating the exemption would result in more than $7.3' [...]

  • Grapes and gills mix it up for VOA

    Haley's Comment

    Red Wine & Seafood? Of Course! took a trip down the Italian coast this year when executive chef Joseph Ramirez and his crew from McCormick’s Fish House and Bar based the evening’s menu on recipes with a Mediterranean flair. Swordfish a la Siciliana, lobster fra diavolo, cannelloni de mar and [...]

  • Clicking with Chicks at ChicksWhoClick

    Haley's Comment

    I recently entered a contest from MileHighMamas to attend the ChicksWhoClicks 2010 (#cwc10) conference. I never thought I’d win, even though I really wanted to go. A place where women learn about the Power of You? Heck yeah! So, I entered. And believe it or not, I won. I wasn’t sure [...]

  • Will our city presume to punish sleep?

    Not My Tribe

    Number of comments: 2

    In case you thought City Council’s reprieve earlier this winter reflected a soft spot in their heart for the homeless forced to live in tents, in reality the city attorneys advised any purge of the unsightly camps be delayed until an iron-clad ordinance could be devised. The suggested legal verbiage [...]

  • Obvious School Funding Alternatives

    bestdestiny

    I started a discussion a week ago about the sorry fiscal state my employer is in right now. I've spent a little time looking around for alternatives since then, and, frankly, the options are few. However, there are some pretty smart ideas that would help school districts maximize taxpayer dollars' [...]
