- Flower power in the city budget (Tillie Fong) — Although Denver faces a $120 million budget deficit in the next 18 months, Mayor John Hickenlooper’s State of the City address offered few new ideas on what the city can do to trim costs. He did mention a suggestion made by a resident at a community budget meeting last month: plant perennials instead of annuals in city parks.
- Price for Halladay a little steeper than that (Steve Foster) — The Denver Post’s Woody Paige, in an attempt to rile the Rockies fan base with the absurd hope they could be players in the Roy Halladay sweepstakes makes this proposal today: Halladay for Brandon Hynick, Alan Johnson and Greg Reynolds. To repeat: Hynick, Johnson and Reynolds. For the best pitcher in the game.
- Cats: the purrfect manipulators (Cindy House) — If you’re a cat owner, you probably already know who rules the roost in your house. And science, bless its heart, has now confirmed it: Cats are experts at manipulating humans to do their bidding.
- Chirp of war: Military exploring battle crickets (John Moore) — As if everything else the Pentagon is up to these days isn’t enough to keep us awake all night. Now the U.S. military hopes to send cyborg crickets into combat. The Pentagon is funding research into whether an insect cavalry could be enlisted to detect chemical attacks on the battlefield, or rescue disaster survivors trapped in rubble in the civilian world.
