It's actually Elizabeth. You can Google it.

a local news story about soccer begins: Admittedly, I don't know Janine Sonis' middle name.

But I'd like to nominate "Clutch" as a suitable option.

Sonis donned the captain's armband and salvaged three points for her hometown Denver Summit FC in beating Utah on Saturday night, 2-1.

Young people vote later, which is why Melat Kiros is very excited right now. She's leading by 2% off the bat -- and those early counts always lean older and more conservative.

This has been happening for days. I know AI is making scams more linguistically advanced, but why is it talking like a movie mob boss?

A screenshot of a scam text that reads: "Listen, fella, I'm talkin' to you straight from the yard. I'm feelin' like you're makin' a mistake, holdin' out on me like this. I showed you love, gave you a pass on that first payment, and now you're makin' me look like a schlemiel out here. $1500, that's a lotta scratch, and I'm not just talkin' about the Benjamins. I'm talkin' about respect, vet."

Finance people, help me… My home insurance in Arvada is $4.5k. The perk is it still has an extremely low wind/hail deductible of $1.5k, which you can’t really get anymore. I could get a policy for $2.4k instead, but my wind/hail goes up to $9.2k. Is the risk/reward worth the change?

New: Denver's minimum wage will rise from $18.81 to $19.29 on Jan. 1. It's pegged to inflation. An increase of 2.6%, it's lower than the past couple years. The tipped minimum wage will also rise from $15.79 to $16.27 per hour, which is similarly set by a formula.

Maybe just my core millennial bias, but it's crazy to me that The Flaming Lips are opening and the 'ain't no rest for the wicked' guys headline.

The lineup for Outside Day sin Denver (May 29-31) has Death Cab for Cutie, My Morning Jacket and Cage the Elephant headlining one night each, while The Flaming Lips are an opening act.
