The news

Barack Obama himself will be in Denver on Wednesday morning for a rally at Magness Arena at the University of Denver. Open to the public and free. Obama trails Hillary by a lot in terms of delegates for the Dems nomination, but he did have that big win in South Carolina's Democratic primary over the weekend. He also trails Hillary in polls in states with a lot of delegates, but according to a poll in The Denver Post, he and Hillary are about even in Colorado. So he'll be in Colorado to rally supporters and try to win over undecided voters.

For fans of Straight No Chaser, the a cappella group from Indiana University: They're doing a show in Denver at Cherry Creek High School. This group isn't the original group that did that great version of 12 Days circulating online, but if you want to go, you can get tickets from Pam Berke at (720) 529-9091.

After 10 years of dead ends, Boulder police have arrested a suspect in the brutal death of CU student Susannah Chase in 1997. It was the first homicide in Boulder for lead Detective Chuck Heidel. He said he kept in touch with Chase's parents over the years to tell them of updates in the case, including lots of blind alleys and dead ends. "It was tough to tell them about those dead ends." It was a different story Friday, when he told the family of a DNA match from the crime to a man sentenced in Wyoming for a kidnapping there. "We're extremely happy," Heidel said.
