Rough start for North Boulder Little League, as they lose by run rule to Nevada, 17-0. Vegas simply got on a roll in the third and capped it with a grand slam. Good news: It's double elimination so Boulder will get another chance Monday against Montana.

#Boulder police said a mountain lion killed a dog on Balsam Avenue while it was walking with its owners on Friday. It did not show aggression toward humans, so it will not be killed or relocated

Denver International Airport says shoes can stay on through security The policy change follows the TSA lifting the shoe removal requirement nationwide.

You can leave your shoes on while going through DIA security.

Of course last weekend this resulted in more delays because everyone took their shoes off and then put them back on. I on the other hand breezed through because I haven't worn shoes on a plane since 1999.
