DENVER — After a massive manhunt along the Front Range and foothills west of Denver, Sol Pais was found dead Wednesday morning near the base of Mt. Evans, according to multiple sources. The 18-year-old woman from Surfside, Fla. had been wanted by authorities since Tuesday morning after allegedly making "credible" threats toward schools in the Denver metro area.

We are expecting to learn more at a 11:30...

OTTAWA — A new holiday is coming to your calendar, one that will mark the dark legacy of Canada’s residential school system. In its ongoing pursuit of reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, the Trudeau government is consulting First Nations, Métis and Inuit groups to create a new “national day” to honour those who attended the infamous church-run schools, where tens of thousands of children were indoctrinated into the languages and religions of Canadian settler society after being taken from their families. Perry Bellegarde, National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, said his organization has pushed for a national holiday to...

New city tech workers dreaming of dining in workplace cafeterias may soon face a harsh reality — going outside. Two city legislators on Tuesday are expected to announce legislation banning on-site workplace cafeterias in an effort to promote and support local restaurants. The measure, proposed by Supervisor Ahsha Safai and co-sponsored by Supervisor Aaron Peskin, would adjust zoning laws to ban workplace cafeterias moving forward, but would not be retroactive. Peskin said the measure, was inspired by tech companies like Twitter and Airbnb, which are widely known to have access to dining in their own buildings, depriving nearby restaurants of...

Staff at the clothing brand Feminist Apparel found out their CEO had admitted to sexual misconduct - and were fired within days of confronting him about it. Feminist Apparel sells clothes and accessories with slogans promoting feminism and equality. So staff were horrified when they saw Alan Martofel's 2013 post admitting to harassing women. The same post announced his new business venture - Feminist Apparel.

We sent our tracker to a public rally where Gov. Hickenlooper was speaking. His staffers were none too pleased.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is “the smartest guy, the biggest thinker” in the Republican Party as it looks toward winning the White House in 2016, GOP strategist Karl Rove tells Newsmax TV. “Six months ago, I would have said, ‘No, he's not going to run,’” Rove tells Newsmax in an exclusive interview. “But maybe he is. I certainly hope he keeps a very strong voice.”

DENVER - Governor John Hickenlooper has granted a reprieve to condemned killer Nathan Dunlap, who otherwise would have been executed in August, the CALL7 Investigators have confirmed. DA George Brauchler told CALL7 Investigator Theresa Marchetta that the governor is going to grant a reprieve. Brauchler says that means Dunlap will not be executed as long as Hickenlooper is in office. Hickenlooper is granting Dunlap a reprieve, not clemency. Clemency would have changed Dunlap's sentence to life without parole. Hickenlooper says Colorado's capital punishment system is flawed and the state doesn't have the drugs in place to carry out an execution...

We started our Theme Song Thunderdome bracket with 32 of the greatest TV theme songs ever. You responded with more than 277,000 votes. And now that the dust has settled, Yahoo! TV users have officially selected one theme song as the best of all time: "The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle," from "Gilligan's Island." We admit it: We clearly misjudged this perennial favorite, saddling it with a lowly 12-seed in the bracket. But it proved us wrong by rolling through the tournament, knocking off heavy hitters like "Diff'rent Strokes," "The Addams Family," and "The Andy Griffith Show" on its way to...

Jonathan Karl of ABC News has reported that GOP sources told him House Republicans gave Barack Obama a standing ovation at the beginning and end of his get-together with them on Wednesday. One of Karl’s sources said the GOP was on their best behavior; every Republican started his or her question with “Thank you for coming” and “You are welcome here anytime.” Some apparently threw in, “We need to work together.”

The Obama administration has employed a variety of tactics to frighten the public about the possible consequences of sequestration. Air-traffic control towers will be shuttered. Children will be thrown off Head Start. The nation’s guard against terrorism will be lowered. Republicans, and in some cases the press, have poked some pretty big holes in some of the administration’s most extravagant claims. But no one has done a better job than a little-known GOP congressman, Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland, who took on officials from the Centers for Disease Control at a House hearing last week. The occasion was a meeting...

The sequester is only four days old and it has already done untold damage — not to teachers, air traffic controllers, or the military, mind you, but to President Obama’s credibility. Obama has been caught in one misstatement after another about the sequester — from lying to Americans about its origins to exaggerating its impact. Obama is fast becoming the president who cried “Sequester!” And the price he pays for his exaggerations will be lasting. The first untruth came on October 22, 2012, during Obama’s final debate with Mitt Romney, when Obama declared, “The sequester is not something that I’ve...

The principal of a Connecticut high school is defending her decision to end the longtime tradition of allowing students to vote for a prom king and queen over fears that the winners might be bullied. But students at Kaynor Tech High School in Waterbury, Conn. have accused Principal Lisa Hylwa of bowing to political correctness. In the past, the prom court was selected by a student vote. But Hylwa said she wanted to keep drama out of the prom and stop bullying. Instead, students who attended prom were invited to put their names in a box and the court was...

A federal civil servant who says he took 11 weeks of sick leave because his colleagues wore too much perfume and cologne wants all of his sick time allotment restored, claiming his employer failed to accommodate him. Terence Juba, who processes immigration applications for the Department of Citizenship and Immigration in Vegreville, Alta., said his debilitating scent sensitivity was triggered by certain fragrances he detected in the office, requiring him to use far more than the 187.5 hours of paid sick leave allowed under the Public Service Alliance of Canada collective bargaining agreement. When Mr. Juba put up a scent-free...
