Southwest Plaza bombing suspect Earl Albert Moore appeared in federal court at 2 p.m. Wednesday, when U.S. Magistrate Judge Craig Shaffer advised him of his rights.

Moore faces one count of arson in connection with explosives discovered April 20 in a back hallway at Southwest Plaza mall.

Though Shaffer scheduled preliminary and detention hearings for May 6, attorneys indicated a federal grand jury indictment could be issued against Moore on May 5.

Well, as it turns out, there’s no longer any need to worry about external technology spying on us. Thanks to the intrepid work of two British techies named Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden, we now know that we’re spying on ourselves.

Students at Dakota Ridge and Columbine high schools may soon be designing their own scientific experiments and performing community-service projects for college credit.

International Baccalaureate programs will be offered for the first time later this year at both schools, which recently gained approval after a rigorous three-year application process.

IB courses, which emphasize applied knowledge and critical thinking in a multitude of disciplines, are an alternative to traditional and advanced-placement classes.

DENVER — There’s no question what unit leads the Columbine Rebels’ boys lacrosse team. It’s the defense.
And that defense has been sharp lately. But perhaps it was never more sharp than on April 23 when the Rebels shut out the Littleton Lions in the second half in their 8-2 win in the finals of the inaugural Littleton Cup at Invesco Field at Mile High.
Leading 3-2 at the half, the Rebels clamped down on the Lions while upping their offense in the process.
