When he entered a for-profit Colorado prison in July 2014, Dennis Choquette had a serious but treatable foot malady related to diabetes. But according to a lawsuit filed by his estate, his jailers repeatedly refused to address this problem as a way of saving money, thereby allowing his condition to deteriorate slowly and agonizingly over the course of more than a year. He died in November 2016 on the very day that lawyers working on his behalf were scheduled to file a motion asking a judge to set aside his sentence and order that he be admitted to a hospital for an amputation.

It's been more than nine months since the Denver Broncos were officially granted naming rights to Mile High Stadium following the bankruptcy of Sports Authority, the company that previously held them. Thus far, no business has stepped in to fill the void, and while a marketing expert believes a rights agreement will likely be reached prior to the start of the 2017-2018 regular season, he thinks smaller, less stable firms should stay away lest they suffer the same fate as Sports Authority, whose doom, he says, was hastened by the deal.
In some ways, the Denver Broncos were lucky yesterday, despite the unlucky final results of their game against the Tennessee Titans. The Broncos lost the contest 13-10 — a defeat that exposed the offense, even under returning starter Trevor Siemian, as being incapable of making big plays when they count...

Artists get back to nature in Out of View at Robischon Gallery, and the way their work has been stitched together through their different if interrelated aesthetic concepts and media indicates that the show was very thoughtfully curated.

Star Wars strains have quietly claimed a healthy niche in a galaxy that takes us far, far away. Many of them trace their roots back to OG Kush; Death Star, Darth Vader OG, Skywalker OG and Yoda OG are all either phenotypes of, or bred from, an OG strain. Colorado breeder Rare Dankness continued that powerful line of strains with StarKiller OG.
Denver Police Department personnel took part in twelve officer-involved shootings last year, the most in at least half a decade. On average, a shooting took place once per month in 2016. Six people were killed in the incidents, but no police officers were injured, and neither have any cops been criminally charged to date.
The morning after the 2017 version of the Denver 4/20 Rally, Civic Center Park was still a mess and angry residents were phoning local TV stations with complaints. But as noted by Miguel Lopez, wearing a yellow hoodie that accurately identified him as "Chief Event Organizer" for the rally, his permit allows him until noon the next day to fully clean up the area. Lopez was confident he'd still be able to make that deadline despite delays caused after the festival was over by a man with a knife who'd slashed open garbage bags and scattered trash that had already been collected.
A lawsuit claims that guards at a Colorado prison pepper-sprayed Muslim inmates gathering for a prayer service and later assaulted one of them in retaliation for his plans to pursue the matter in court.

The cornerstone of any library is in its stacks, where living records in the form of books and media sit, waiting to impart knowledge and share stories.
