Never a day passes that the
working man-is not importuned to
help someone find a job. Any kind
of job. One business man states
that he has so iany calls from
friends seeking employment that
he has done practically nothing for
a week but answer the telephone.
And yet with the situation
thus-New York continues to be
the Mecca for unemployed from all
parts of the country. The moment
a dry-good's clerk or plumber's
assistant loses his job in Cedar
Rapids or Tuscaloosa, he makes a
bee line for Broadway, The last

The big city seems to hold out
to such people the same sort of
illusory promise that America
holds for many immigrants; a
land of limitless opportunity, of
glittering hope.
If there were fewer Americans
suffering from such delusions,
there would be fewer despondent
derelicts jumping daily from New
York's high buildings, splattering
themselves inelegantly on the hard
unfeeling pavements.
In view of these facts, I was

"laid off" by a firm in the West,
and was very anxious to get back
to work.
Impressed by his appeal, I look-

to my surprise-did find a job va-

The head of a college of music
has got into the newspapers by
announcing that the pitch of
American girls' voices is getting
lower, and attributing this to
"yelling at football games and
smoking cigarettes."
It is much more probable that
the American type is changing
through the admixture of races,
and "that the average American
girl has a better muscular devel-
opment than her grandmother had.
Physical training rather than cig-
arettes would tend to enlarge the
breathing passages which affect
the pitch of the voice.
If the change which this teacher
has noticed is general, so much the
better. The high-pitched American
female voice, almost shrill, grates
on sensitive ears. Women may
admire sopranos, but most men
prefer the deep-toned contralto
Nearly a year's experience with
the plan, adopted by all of the
large automobile makers, of offer-
ing a bonus to dealers for "junk-
ing" used cars, seems to have had
a good effect, not only in stimu-
lating the market for new cars
but in removing dangerous vehic-
les from the roads.
Ford is paying $20 for each
hopeless Ford car delivered at the
factory. Other makers allow from
$20 to $40 to dealers for each car
junked in the presence of respon-
sible witnesses or factory repre-
sentatives. The dealer has to find
his own "graveyard" for the
wreck, and that is a difficult prob-
lem in some localities. Almost
every abandoned quarry and mine
has been filled to the top with old
cars. On some of the undeveloped
streets in the suburbs of New York
ancient automobiles virtually line
the roadway o nboth sides.
There is a fortune waiting for
the man who will discover a cheap
and speedy way of reducing

You've undoubtedly heard
of the old story of the man
not being able to take a hint,
"it needed a house to fall on
him." That reminds us of the
Jewish Miami of today. While

of the entire World was alive
and awake, up and doing, so
that it's voice, too, would be
heard against the action of
the British Government in
the issuance of the Lord Pass-
field "White Paper," the Mi-
ami Jewry was dead asleep.
With the exception of the
sermon at Temple Israel not
a word was said. Even the
Zionist District, who should
have been the first to have
called for action, was as us-

"Celo," a drink for which
celery juice is the base. This

R. A. Thorne who realized the
health qualities of celery and
this drink recently received
the unqualified endorsement
of "Child Life," a health au-

Aus 97 Designs von 36 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Concrete Feet LLC is a web development company that's focused on inner city community development. We are trying to answer the question: how can we use our skills to create systemic good within the inner city? We need a logo, maybe you've got it.
Concrete Feet LLC
The Ethos. The idea behind the name Concrete Feet is that if we take on the burdens of others as being our own we make a bigger impact on the world. The image of a person with cinder blocks for feet walking through a grassy field has come to represent this philosophy for us.
I'd like this image featured in the logo somehow.
Logo's that I like a lot: thoughtbot.com, hashrocket.com
- Simple Design- The name "Concrete Feet LLC" to be incorporated, but that the image that goes with it to be able to stand alone.- Good use of negative space- Concrete Cinder Block- I like reds and blacks- take a look at the logo's i like to get a feel for what i'm looking for.
- too many colors- small details- human feet to be included

The history of Belmont UMC's pipe organ
In the 100 year history of Belmont United Methodist Church, the pipe organ has been the primary instrument for leading worship music. The appropriately named king of instruments, is undoubtedly the superior instrument for leading and accompanying singing as well as inspiring a worshipful atmosphere for all worship settings through solo musical offerings.
Belmont's first chapel, built in 1910, housed a small pump organ that was brought to Belmont from its sister church of Watkins Grove. This instrument was used, sometimes along with piano, for the duration of that particular worship space until the second sanctuary was completed in 1916. At that time, an organ "was purchased from the old Parthenon Theater and was a combination organ and piano. In addition, records could be played on it. This organ was used for the first time at the opening service in the new building (April 2, 1916) with Miss Frances Adams (Mrs. Carl Francis) at the console."
The Parthenon organ was sold to Ward-Belmont College for use as a practice instrument when Belmont Methodist commissioned the current sanctuary in 1929. At this time a new Aeolian-Votey organ, one of the best of the time, was purchased and installed. This organ had 3 manuals of 30 stops controlling 27 ranks (sets).
With the need for electronic updates and tonal adjustments to the organ, 22 ranks of pipes from the Aeolian-Votey instrument were refurbished and revoiced as well as additional pipes added to create a new instrument built by Rueter Organ Co. of Lawrence, Kansas. It was completed just in time for Christmas in 1960 and to mark the 50th anniversary of the church. The 3-manual console controlled 3 divisions of pipes located in the front of the church as well as an antiphonal division located on the back corner of the balcony. This instrument included 46 ranks, 2687 pipes, 57 stops.
Our current instrument, undoubtedly the most magnificent instrument to adorn the sanctuary, was installed in 1988 after a five year effort of planning and fundraising. The organ, built by the M. P. Möller company of Hagerstown, Maryland, includes some of the pipes from the Aeolian-Votey and Rueter instruments. Like the previous Rueter instrument many new pipes were added to create an entirely new instrument. Including several stops that were added after the initial installation, the Möller organ contains 49 stops, 70 ranks totaling 4,078 pipes.
Renovations and revisions to the organ are currently in progress by Daniel L. Angerstein Organ Works. These renovations include an upgraded electronic system, new piston and stop action, keyboard refurbishment, new shades for the swell and postive divisions as well as a complete tonal finishing and revoicing.

Does Special Report believe its Chamber conflict is worth disclosing or not?
Fox News' Special Report has discussed allegations that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has spent millions from undisclosed donors on GOP attack ads in a total of seven segments on four programs. But in only one segment has the network disclosed that their parent company, News Corp., donated $1 million to the Chamber this year.
Special Report acknowledges $1 million donation in initial report on Chamber donations
Henneberg notes News Corp.'s donation in October 7 report on Chamber donations. On October 6, Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) sent a letter to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), asking them to investigate allegations that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been using foreign donations to finance campaign ads, which is illegal under campaign finance law. Franken's letter was reportedly prompted by an October 5 report released by the liberal blog Think Progress. On October 7, President Obama echoed Franken's charge at a rally in Maryland, saying, "Groups that receive foreign money are spending huge sums to influence American elections, and they won't tell you where the money for their ads come from."
Fox News' Special Report with Bret Baier first covered this story on October 7. During that segment, correspondent Molly Henneberg acknowledged that News Corp., the parent company of Fox News, gave $1 million to the Chamber of Commerce, suggesting that the program believes such disclosure is necessary. From the October 7 edition of Special Report (accessed from Nexis):
MOLLY HENNEBERG, FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): A rally today by the left wing group Moveon.org protesting the pro-business U.S. Chamber of Commerce, after Democratic Senator Al Franken sent a letter to the Federal Election Commission suggesting the chamber is using funds from foreign corporations, quote, "to finance millions of dollars in expenditures related to the 2010 mid-term elections." President Obama echoed Franken's charge today.
BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: This is a threat to our democracy. The American people deserve to know who is trying to sway their elections.
HENNEBERG: The Chamber, which received $1 million donation from News Corp., the parent company of Fox News Channel, and which has put out TV ads, such as this one for Republican Rob Portman in Ohio's Senate race, is fighting back, saying, quote, "No foreign money is used to fund political activities. All allegations to the contrary are totally and completely false."
Conservatives say this is the latest salvo by Democrats, who have for years poured union manpower and money into elections.
$1 million donation not disclosed in any other Special Report segment on the Chamber
Since the October 7 segment, Fox News' Special Report has covered the allegations concerning the Chamber of Commerce in six additional segments. None of these segments disclosed the fact that Fox News' parent company, News Corp., donated $1 million to the Chamber of Commerce. According to a review of the Nexis database, Special Report covered the story without providing disclosure of its parent company's donation during three segments on October 11, two segments on October 12, and one segment on October 14.

You are hereRecord Breaking Catfish Caught on Barbie Poll
Record Breaking Catfish Caught on Barbie Poll
That's David Hayes' story and he's sticking with it. The Wilkes County angler used his granddaughter's Barbie Doll rod-and-reel combo - all 2 ½ feet of it - to reel in a new state record channel catfish that measured 2 inches longer than the fishing pole.
Hayes landed the record-breaking fish, which weighed 21 pounds, 1 ounce, on Aug. 5 from a private pond in Wilkes County while fishing with his granddaughter Alyssa, 3.
According to Hayes, the unusual fishing experience began in the early evening with a trip to the garden for bait. After collecting several black crickets, he and Alyssa went down to the pond behind the house to fish for bluegill, an activity the pair have enjoyed together since Alyssa was barely big enough to hold a fishing rod.
Like previous fishing trips, Hayes baits the hook and Alyssa catches the fish, using her hot pink Barbie doll rod and reel combo. It is a routine that usually works well - until that afternoon when nature called at the most inopportune time.
"After catching two or three bluegill, Alyssa turns to me and says 'Papa, I've got to go to the bathroom. Hold my fishing rod'," Hayes recalled. "A few minutes later, the float went under and I saw the water start boiling up - I knew right then that I had my hands full with that fishing rod."
Chris Wood, an aquatic biologist, holds up a Carolina madtom.
It took Hayes about 25 minutes to land the fish, which measured 32 inches in length and 22 ½ inches in girth. Once he got it to the bank, Hayes said he was pretty certain his channel cat would exceed the current state record, an 18-pound, 5-ounce fish reeled in by Wesley Trucks of New Bern in August 2007.
The fish was weighed on certified scales at Thurmond Grocery in Thurmond, N.C. It was certified by Kin Hodges, a fisheries biologist with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission.
To qualify for a state record, anglers must have caught the fish on a rod and reel, must have the fish weighed on a certified scale witnessed by one observer, have the fish positively identified by a qualified expert from the Commission and submit an application with a full, side-view photo of the fish.
Hayes says he's been getting a lot of ribbing from folks who kid him about a grown man fishing with a hot pink Barbie Doll rod and reel. But Hayes takes the kidding in stride, knowing that he's the one with the new state record and a great memory to share with his granddaughter for years to come.

Software-defined networking, storage the name of the game at VMworld
Virtualization and cloud expert Bob Plankers talks about VMware's direction in 2012: the software-defined data center. But what does that mean for IT pros?
Plankers explains how storage and networking hardware can now be done in software, and he notes that the biggest part of a "software-defined" environment is connecting application programming interfaces together. With the focus on cloud and automation at VMworld 2012, the needs of different organizations come into question. Do you need public cloud or is it better to square away your assets in a private cloud first?
In this video, hear about some of the interesting storage and management tools from other vendors -- and most exciting of all, learn about the best parties to attend at the show.

2nd VIEW: Prayer cards connecting churches & chaplains
EDITOR'S NOTE: 2nd VIEW is a key Baptist Press story that has been posted within the past several days. For a listing of additional key stories in Baptist Press in recent days, always take a look at the daily RECENT NEWS listing.
Originally posted June 23, 2014
ALPHARETTA, Ga. (BP) -- As he developed his children's sermon, Mark Standridge planned to hold back one card from his young audience. The pastor of Placer Heights Baptist Church in Placerville, Calif., opened his brief message with a question for the children.
"Have any of you ever collected baseball cards?" Standridge asked. "When I was a boy I had a lot of baseball cards. Those players were my heroes. But today I want to share some cards with you that have real heroes on them."
Standridge then handed North American Mission Board Military Chaplaincy Prayer Cards to the group. He gave one chaplain prayer card to every child except one -– 7-year-old Timothy Collins. The young boy was a bit disappointed to be overlooked. Then Standridge played his last card.
"Does anybody recognize this chaplain?" Standridge asked as he held up the card during May 25 children's sermon. Timothy screamed, "That's my dad!" Standridge said, "Timothy, this card is for you."
The card, of course, was that of Chaplain Major James Collins, serving with the Army National Guard in Kuwait. Timothy was able to recount the children's sermon story to his dad via Skype that evening.
"Timothy was in tears at church, and so was I when he told me this story," Collins said. "Our church has ordered more cards. Everyone is praying for their chaplain, especially the children."
The chaplain prayer cards are one of the resources produced by the North American Mission Board to help churches support their chaplains. NAMB sent a 50-card set to every Southern Baptist church in May. Additional free cards may be obtained by calling 866-407-6262 or visiting http://www.nambstore.com. Digital versions of the cards are available at http://www.namb.net/honoring-military-chaplains.
"There has been an absolutely positive response from both chaplains who have received support and from Southern Baptists who have expressed gratitude for gaining a greater appreciation for their chaplains and the roles they fulfill, especially their evangelistic ministries," Doug Carver, NAMB's executive director for chaplaincy and a retired U.S. Army major general, said. "The prayer cards certainly met the intent of our goal to create a vehicle for communication between chaplains and churches and to keep chaplains connected with churches."
Carver and his team receive continual confirmation of that communication and support from chaplains. Lt. Col. Oliver J. Bergeron's experience is typical.
"I am humbled by the tremendous and overwhelming response I have received via emails from people all over the country in response to the chaplain cards," Bergeron reported to Carver. "It has truly been a treasure to know that I have people who don't know me praying for me!"
Bergeron serves as a chaplain with the Kansas Air National Guard at McConnell Air Force Base. The prayer support has encouraged him.
"I am grateful and blessed because of Southern Baptists' prayers and I feel their prayers," Bergeron said. "Through those prayers God is using me in wonderful ways to reach people and to minister to their needs. Two Sundays ago (my pastor) approached me and said, 'Guess what I got from NAMB and guess whose picture was on top?' He was about as excited as I was embarrassed. But the response and personalized emails from all over have meant a lot and have made me stronger through the Spirit in ministering to the troops."
Collins shares the excitement. But he has a prayer team he knows well.
"When I talk to my kids on Skype they tell me about praying for their chaplain," Collins, who is scheduled to return home in December, said. "My children are trading the cards with other kids from the church to pray for more chaplains.
"The most difficult thing about being deployed is being away from my wife (Amanda) and my children (Timothy, Abby, 10 and John, 4). But it is such a blessing to know that they are praying for me and other chaplains because of the prayer cards."
Visit http://www.namb.net/Honoring-Military-Service_Members-and-Chaplains for other resources churches and individuals can use to honor returning members of the military and chaplains.

City Says Aberdeen Beef Plant Can Ramp Up Production
ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) - The Northern Beef Packers plant in Aberdeen is being allowed to slaughter more cattle after passing a city inspection.
The long-delayed plant earlier received permission to slaughter up to five cattle to test equipment. The American News reports that the city is allowing the plant to ramp up to slaughtering 200 cattle on both Thursday and Friday.
Plant officials have not said how many cattle they are actually slaughtering.
Construction on the $109 million plant began in 2007. Numerous problems including financial issues, flooding and lawsuits have repeatedly pushed back the opening date. The plant eventually is to process 1,500 cattle per day from the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota.

This resource provides energy models from the Advanced Energy Design Guide (AEDG) for Large Hospitals that have been incorporated into Building Component Library (BCL). The AEDG series provides design guidance for buildings that use 50% less energy than those built to the requirements of the ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2004 commercial code, and are specific to prominent building types across each of the eight U.S. climate zones. More information on the AEDGs can be found at http://energy.gov/eere/buildings/advanced-energy-design-guides and http://www.ashrae.org/aedg.The Building Component Library (BCL) is the U.S. Department of Energy's comprehensive online searchable library of energy modeling building blocks and descriptive metadata. Novice users and seasoned practitioners can use the freely available and uniquely identifiable components to create energy models and cite the sources of input data, which will increase the credibility and reproducibility of their simulations. More information about the BCL can be found at https://bcl.nrel.gov.
These models are EnergyPlus version 7.0 and were completed in 2012. A Technical Support Document (TSD) that details these models can be found at http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy13osti/52588.pdf. This Technical Support Document describes the process and methodology for the development of the Advanced Energy Design Guide for Large Hospitals: Achieving 50% Energy Savings Toward a Net Zero Energy Building (AEDG-LH). The AEDG-LH is intended to provide recommendations for achieving 50% whole-building energy savings in large hospitals over levels achieved by following Standard 90.1-2004. The AEDG-LH was created for a 'standard' mid- to large-size hospital, typically at least 100,000 square feet, but the strategies apply to all sizes and classifications of new construction hospital buildings. Its primary focus is new construction, but recommendations may be applicable to facilities undergoing total renovation, and in part to many other hospital renovation, addition, remodeling, and modernization projects (including changes to one or more systems in existing buildings).
It is still early in the collection and analysis of energy performance data, but it is already clear that high-performance commercial buildings—some "almost net-zero buildings"—can be constructed cost effectively, providing productive environments for occupants, reducing operating costs, and enhancing the competitiveness of commercial properties.

Ubehebe Crater
Over a dozen volcanoes dot the landscape of Ubehebe volcanic field. Ubehebe Crater is the largest and youngest volcanic feature, Little Hebe crater is at lower right. The paved road to the crater ends at a parking area on the north rim, though an unpaved road continues, bending back south and heading towards various remote back country areas including The Racetrack. Ubehebe Crater has a trail around the rim and a steep path down. The crater is even more colorful in spring, when yellow and purple micro flowers grow amongst the jet black ash on the upper slopes. Other paths wind through more cinder cones and craters, such as the much smaller Little Hebe Crater, which cover an area of several square miles to the south.

Spring 2020 classes have resumed online.Please visit
dcccd.edu/coronavirus for additional information and to
learn how to prepare for online classes.
During one of my lab sessions I overheard a little bit about the Internship Program for IT students. After getting prepared for interviews with Cristina Lawson, I got my first interview and got hired to work with a team of other STEM Intern students. Our internship position, was to revise and manage the STEM website and make it user friendly.
I am honored to have been a part of the STEM Internship program, and it has inspired me to continue with my education. My success in this program goes to Ms. Adrienne Thompson, Stem Center Coordinator, Ms. Cristina Lawson, Outreach Coordinator, Manasseh Lee, IT Instructor, Don Bittinger, IT Instructor, Bonnie Zhang, IT Instructor, and the students on the web management team.
I've always been interested in math. Originally I wanted to major in architecture. Then I began to look into the engineering aspect. I wanted to know how buildings, infrastructure were designed and created. This passion for building eventually translated into computers. That's how I ended up majoring in Computer Engineering. I plan on transferring to UTA where I will continue my studies. The STEM program was a big part of this process.
I originally heard about STEM through one my professors. He mentioned it on the off chance that I might be interested. I took a chance and went to speak with internship coordinator at the STEM offices. I went through the application for an intern and before you knew it, I was happy to be an intern at STEM.
My role in stem was a web content manager. I managed the STEM website content, information and tried to make the site more aesthetically pleasing. I surveyed man on how I could improve the site and built on upon that throughout my the internship process.
Overall it was a great learning experience. From the internship, I learned everything from being independent, cooperating with different people and personalities, learned how to keep up with a schedule, and how to be professional in a work environment. My favorite part was having the chance to work with many people thoughout the internship. I learned how others thought, learned to appreciate their methods and expanded my own mind because of it.
I believe a STEM internship can help anyone interested in a STEM field. There are many internships available and certainly any one of them would be of great help. It helps you decide on what career field you would like to enter and gets you the work experience you need for the future. I definitely recommend it.

Woman must serve 90 days of 5-year sentence
A former teacher was sentenced to five years in prison for sexually abusing a student, but she only has to serve 90 days.
Andrea Conners resigned from her teaching position at Highlands High School back in May when the investigation into her behavior began.
She is accused of having a sexual relationship with a teenage boy.
She entered a guilty plea in June to the charge she was facing, saving herself and the teen boy from testifying at trial.
"I would just like to say how sincerely sorry I am," Conners said at her sentencing.
The details of the accusations against her are not clear at this point, but investigators said the boy in question was a Highlands student.
Prosecutors said she had sex with the student on multiple occasions, including in the classroom and at her parents' house.
Although Conners agreed to plead guilty to the charges against her, it was an open plea, with no sentencing agreement in place.
"Her actions have destroyed her marriage, they have injured her children and her family," said her attorney, Rob Dziech.
Conner must serve the rest of her sentence on probation and perform 500 hours of community service.
She must also register as a sex offender for 20 years and undergo treatment.

Custody fight continues over Cherish's sisters
Rayne Perrywinkle says she can't rest until she gets daughters back
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Nearly a month after they were taken away from their mother, Cherish Perrywinkle's sisters still remain in foster care. On Thursday, a judge will hear from both sides in the custody case.
Police say 8-year-old Cherish was kidnapped, raped and killed on June 21. On July 10, the Department of Children and Families removed the girl's half-sisters from their home.
Now their parents, Rayne Perrywinkle and Aharon Pearson, are each fighting for custody of them.
Rayne says losing Cherish was the worst thing any parent could imagine. But then her two daughters were taken away, and things got even worse. Now she says she can't rest until she gets them back.
"I'm being punished for what happened with Cherish," she said.
Rayne believes that's why 5-year-old Neveah and 4-year-old Destiny were taken away from her, temporarily placed in foster care until a judge makes a final decision. The grieving mother feels helpless.
"They want to cry and talk to me about it, but I'm being monitored all the time," Rayne said. "Every time I see my children in visitation, I'm not allowed to talk to them in the way a mother should be able to talk to a child."
DCF will not comment on the children's custody case but did confirm it has worked with the family many times before. Last week, it released documents of investigations into how Cherish was treated. But DCF never found enough danger to take the girl away from her mom.
The battle for Cherish's younger sisters is complicated. Since Cherish was killed, Rayne and the younger children's father -- Aharon Pearson -- split up. Sources say he's battling for custody of the girls, not only against Rayne, but against his father, Tom Pearson.
Now, the future for Destiny and Nevaeh will be decided in court.
"It's extremely difficult," said Patrick Kilbane, a family law attorney not involved in the case.
Kilbane says each party will have to prove they're the best option for raising the girls.
"Drug tests, parental fitness evaluations, making sure the parents have stable employment, stable housing, things likes that," he said. "The department, if they can, will certainly want to try to reunify the children with their parents if the safety of the children can be assured."
Aharon and Tom Pearson couldn't be reached Wednesday, but Rayne said she's the one whom Destiny and Nevaeh need to be with during this very difficult time.
"I'm doing everything that I possibly can to work with the judge and work with DCF or (Mental Health Resource Center) to get my children back."
A custody hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Thursday at the Duval County Courthouse in front of Judge David Gooding.

Dan Barker/ Fort Morgan Times
Dan Barker/ Fort Morgan Times
Agricultural producers are waiting to see what kind of toll they will pay after the intense hail that pounded Morgan County last Sunday.
"Hail did heavy damage in Morgan County," said extension agent Marlin Eisenach.
Thursday's wind storm that blew twigs and branches off trees in Fort Morgan, plus blowing over some trees, did not really affect the crops, he said. The worst of that storm was really in Washington County.
However, Sunday's storm did plenty of damage. Eisenach noted that the hardest hit areas were southwest of Fort Morgan and the Brush area.
Wheat and corn crops had been in "excellent" condition until the storm struck, but now many, many fields are in poor condition, Eisenach said.
Leaves were stripped from corn plants, wheat was pounded to the ground, and sometimes the kernels were knocked off the wheat, he said.
"It's devastating," Eisenach said.
At this point, growers can only watch to see how much the crops have been damaged. It takes time to see if plants will recover and how much of the crop was lost, he said.
Leaves were stripped off of alfalfa plants, too, Eisenach noted.
This was a hard time to see hail, because it is not long before the wheat harvest, which generally comes in mid to late July.
The Colorado Crop Progress report from the National Agricultural Statistics Service said hail had affected other areas across the state, particularly the eastern plains even before Sunday.
At the end of last week, more than half the wheat crop was coloring, the report says.
About 63 percent of pastures and ranges were in fair to good condition, significantly higher than at this time last year.
The first cutting of alfalfa had been complete at the end of last week, and the second cutting of alfalfa had begun.
About half of the top soil in the state was rated as adequate, and 47 percent of fields were short or very short of top soil moisture, especially in the southeast.
About 47 percent of the subsoil moisture was adequate, with 28 percent of fields short of moisture and 24 percent very short.
Precipitation last week was generally received in the northeast, where water supplies remain at sufficient levels.
In eastern and southeastern Colorado, precipitation was largely isolated and insufficient, with no significant improvement in moisture supplies noted in those districts.
Producers in the San Luis Valley were facing significant challenges to
keep crops irrigated as a result of the warm temperatures and strong winds.
A hard freeze occurred in the San Luis Valley last week, which resulted in a slowed pace of development and a decline in conditions of some crops.

First off, not every pick on our list is indeed a "place," per se. One is actually a scientific phenomenon, while another is considered a massive living organism home to more than 1,500 fish species and nearly 3,000 individual coral reefs. Several are wide-open spaces, but a few are brick-and- mortar sites built for kings (and in one case, a queen). Three have been included on the listing of the Seven Natural Wonders; three were also selected for the listing of the New 7 Wonders of the World. But no matter how you slice and dice them, all 10 have something important in common: Sometimes, it is all about what pleases the eye. Here's our list of the World's Prettiest Places.
Our next selection is largely unknown to tourists from the United States, and perhaps that makes it even more precious. The limestone caves of the Plitvice Lakes National Park make the water of its 16 lakes and a handful of waterfalls shimmer brilliant shades of turquoise, silver and green. And to get a better view the lakes' beauty, you'll find a web of wooden plank walkways scattered throughout. But note that there is no true best or worst season to stop by this site in central Croatia. Snow and ice transforms the area into a winter wonderland; in summer the surrounding trees further enhance the hues of the lake water. If at all possible, though, avoid the onslaught of local tourists in July and August.
Molded out of red sandstone and white marble, and sparkling with the glint of semi-precious stones, this mausoleum of northeastern India needs no justification to appear on our list. Frommer's says, "It's not just the perfect symmetry, the ethereal luminescence, the wonderful proportions, or the sheer scale," that makes us revere the Taj Mahal. It's also "the exquisite detailing covering every inch of marble that justifies it as a wonder of the world." Its amorous background also feeds our admiration: It was commissioned by a 17th century Mughal emperor to honor the memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Consider planning a trip for sometime between October and March to behold Taj's majestic domes, chambers and minarets; that way the weather will be somewhat cooler for walking around. If you have time, stay from the early morning until the late night, as "the radiance of the Taj under the moonlight is beyond any explanation," notes TajMahal.org.uk.

Tour 3
A stroll along the Limmat – a river town and its history
Hirschenplatz – Rosengasse – Limmatquai – Rathaus – Rathausbrücke – Rüden – Helmhaus – Schifflände – Münsterbrücke – Münsterhof – Storchengasse – Wühre – Weinplatz – Rathausbrücke – Rathaus – Marktgasse – Hirschenplatz
The imposing river embankment called Limmatquai was not built until the19th century. Originally, the houses on the right bank of the Limmat stood at the edge of the water. A narrow river-path, partly lying under arcades, provided access from the river to certain parts of the Old Town. Between 1823 and 1825, the first section of the Limmatquai was constructed and extended from Rosengasse to the Rathausbrücke. The continuous link between Bellevue and Central, involving further landfill, was built in stages during the following decades. At the same time, numerous houses along the Limmatquai underwent restoration or even complete rebuilding. On the way towards the Rathausbrücke, two buildings merit special attention, since they recall the architecture of the 1860s: the house of the "Museumsgesellschaft" (Museum Society) at Limmatquai no. 62, which replaced the slaughterhouse, and the aristocratic "Haus zum Schneggen," at Limmatquai no. 64–66.
Zurich was considered "a river town" until the 1880s, when the lakeside area was developed. The town centre used to be by the Rathausbrücke, also called Gemüsebrücke, which actually functioned both as a bridge and square. Until 1838, when the Münsterbrücke was built, the Rathausbrücke was the only bridge that allowed passage to vehicles and so constituted the main traffic artery between the two parts of town on either side of the Limmat. On the bridge, a fruit and vegetable market was held until well into the 20th century, hence the name Gemüsebrücke (vegetable bridge). Several other markets existed in the area around the bridge: Between the Rathaus and Rüdenplatz, under the arcades, was the fish market and a little downstream, next to the police station (built in 1825; Limmatquai no. 61), stood the well-proportioned "Fleischhalle" (meat hall). In 1962, the meat hall fell victim to the widening of Limmatquai, much to the regret of many enthusiasts of architecture.
The Rathaus (Town Hall), situated at Limmatquai no. 55, has stood in the centre of the Old Town since the Middle Ages. The present Rathaus was built between 1694 and 1698, mainly in the Baroque style, although the facade shows a late Renaissance influence. On the facade, above the ground floor windows, numerous busts of public figures from Antiquity and from Swiss history can be admired, as can carved stone decorations representing garlands of fruit. Zurich's city council and cantonal parliament hold regular sessions in the Rathaus, and citizens may follow the proceeding from the gallery. Visitors are also welcome to attend. The cantonal council meets on Mondays and the municipal council on Wednesdays.
Historic guild houses
From the Middle Ages on, the guilds established themselves in the immediate neighbourhood of the town hall, which explains the considerable number of guild houses in the area. Opposite the town hall, between the Rathausbrücke and Münsterbrücke, stand the guild houses "zur Zimmerleuten" (Limmatquai no. 40), "zum Rüden" (Limmatquai no. 42) and "zur Saffran" (Limmatquai no. 54). The "Haus zur Haue" (Limmatquai 52) is the home of the guild "zum Kämbel." All these guildhouses, dating back to a time when the guilds played an important role in the running of the town, merit special attention for their individual characteristics. The "Haus zum Rüden" (Limmatquai no. 42) is chosen for closer examination because this particular guild house is depicted in one of the "Adler" paintings. The first floor windows of the "Haus zum Rüden," in a striking Late Gothic style, are well preserved and provide a hint of what is hidden behind: a large Late Gothic room, the only one of its kind in Zurich, featuring an arched ceiling with decorative longitudinal wooden beams. The second floor is half-timbered and overhangs the lower part of the building.
Many of the guild houses have become excellent restaurants featuring a refined cuisine and hence they are open to the public. The festive atmosphere of the guild houses is especially enjoyable at wedding celebrations or banquets held in the splendid, historic rooms as well as during the "Sechseläuten," Zurich's spring festival.
The guild houses, together with the other imposing buildings lining the right bank of the Limmat, provide an impressive view, to which the arcades add yet more charm. Before the construction of the Limmatquai, the arcades saw a bustle of activity, whereas today they function only as a pedestrian precinct. Above the row of houses standing between Rathaus and Helmhaus rise the two distinctive towers of the Grossmünster. For some people, the area around the Limmatquai represents the essence of a town that is proud of its history, traditions and architectural monuments. For others, this particular place, depicted in countless pictures, simply evokes a sense of belonging.
Helmhaus and Wasserkirche
The Helmhaus and the Wasserkirche (Water Church), which adjoin each other, used to stand on a small island in the Limmat. According to legend, Zurich's patron saints, Felix and Regula, as well as their servant Exuperantius, were beheaded by the Romans on the site of the Wasserkirche.
The Helmhaus adds to the special character of the area around the Limmat. In the Middle Ages, it was simply an open hall, covered with a massive roof. In the 16th century, this hall was replaced by a wooden building having a high roof containing several levels of lofts. In 1791, the town council decided to erect a stone building in place of the wooden one, and, three years later, the Helmhaus, in its Classical, rather sober yet elegant style, was finished. Until well into the 19th century, the cotton, flax and linen market was held every Friday in the hall of the Helmhaus. In 1940/41, the Helmhaus underwent extensive renovations, giving it a sense of spaciousness ideal for art exhibitions.
The present Wasserkirche was constructed between 1479 and 1484 and is considered Zurich's purest example of the Late Gothic style. The elegant church is surrounded by buttresses and has a polygon shaped choir. From the 17th century up to the construction of the Zentralbibliothek (see page 14), the Wasserkirche housed Zurich's public library, which was established in 1629. To accommodate the library, Baroque galleries were built inside the nave of the church, and if they still existed, they would, without any doubt, constitute one of the city's special places of interest. Often unnoticed, despite its large size, a monument to Zurich's Reformer Huldrych Zwingli (1484– 1531) stands next to the Wasserkirche.
A little further upriver is the Schiffländeplatz, where a dock was located until the construction of the Limmatquai in the 1830s. The "Haus zum Raben" (Limmatquai no. 40), standing between the Schifflände and the Hechtplatz, provides another example of the town's rich architectural heritage.
The Münsterbrücke
The Münsterbrücke (Minster Bridge) was built between 1836 and 1838 in order to replace the wooden "Obere Brücke." The bridge is the work of the Austrian building engineer Alois Negrelli (1799–1858), also known as Ritter (knight) von Moldelbe, who was one of the European pioneers of railway building. Among other projects, he built the first Swiss railway (see page 9) and was later involved in drawing up plans for the Suez Canal, which was built largely according to his ideas. The Münsterbrücke, with its four elegant arches and its cast-iron railings and candelabras, deserves to be admired since it is without doubt Zurich's most beautiful bridge. In 1839, just after the bridge was built, Negrelli undertook the construction of the Grossmünster terrace and its Gothic parapet, as well as the small shops situated below the terrace.
At the western end of the bridge stands an equestrian statue of Zurich's mayor Hans Waldmann (1434–1489), which was created by the sculptor Hermann Haller (1880–1950). Waldmann's life has continued to fascinate the local population. The man, who later became a "Zunftmeister" (guild master) and a military commander, arrived in Zurich as an orphan and worked first as a tailor, then as a tanner and eventually as an ironmonger. In 1473 he became the master of the "Kämbel" guild. His military career reached its peak in the war against Burgundy. As leader of Zurich's troops at the battle of Murten (1476), Waldmann contributed a great deal to the victory of the Swiss Confederates and was subsequently knighted. In the following year, he led the Swiss Confederates at the battle of Nancy. From the time of the battle of Murten onwards, Waldmann received yearly pensions from various princes, which made him one of the richest men in the land. His proclaimed goal was to make Zurich the most beautiful city in the Confederation, and he used some of his own money to build the Wasserkirche and to renovate the Grossmünster and Fraumünster. However, Waldmann's dictatorial politics and the ruthless measures he took to carry through his ideas led first to a rebellion of the rural population and later to a revolt of the townspeople. On April l, 1489, Waldmann was removed from office, and five days later, under the pretext that an Austrian army was on its way to liberate him, he was hurriedly executed in public. All these events, known in Swiss history as "Waldmannhandel" (the Waldmann deal) came to a tragic end with the execution.
The Storchengasse, with its select shops, is reached by crossing Münsterhof (see page 51). The shop windows of the "Haus zum Thor" (Storchengasse no. 13) merit special attention. This Neo Romanesque shop front, beautifully renovated under the direction of Zurich's society for the preservation of historic monuments, dates from 1865. Around the middle of the 19th century, the open market stalls were gradually being replaced by shops, and large shop windows were installed on the ground floors of the mostly medieval houses lining the narrow street.
The Weinplatz
The Wühre, a passageway along the Limmat, can be reached from the Storchengasse via several narrow lanes. The street cafés on the Wühre and Weinplatz offer a moment of relaxation, away from traffic and at the same time provide an opportunity to yet again admire the view of the picturesque buildings lining the opposite river bank.
The "Haus zum (roten) Schwert" at Weinplatz no. 10 served as an inn from 1406 until 1918. After 1612, under the management of the Ott family, the house became the most famous inn of the town. The second part of the 19th century was the inn's most notable period, when not only crowned heads and top military personnel but also poets and musicians stayed there. A rather discreet commemorative plaque on the left side of the front door lists some of the guests' names, including Victor Hugo, Amadeus Mozart, Franz Liszt and Johannes Brahms.
Herzog (Duke) Karl August von Weimar, who, in 1779, stayed at the "Haus zum (roten) Schwert" with Goethe (see page 39), was very impressed by the inn's location and high quality: "Staying in the best inn, which stands by the bridge that holds the town together; having a charming view of the river, the lake and the mountains; enjoying wonderful meals, a comfortable bed and all the other things which usually come to pass in enchanted castles to gladden the hearts of knights."

The Galapagos Islands, a volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, is a province of Ecuador, lying about 1000 kms. off its coast. The island is considered one of the world's foremost destinations for wildlife-viewing. Its isolated terrain shelters a diversity of plant and animal species, many found nowhere else. Charles Darwin visited the islands in 1835, and his observation of Galapagos' species later inspired his theory of evolution. Read more�

Kenny Smith handles readers' questions in "Fan Mail"
Kenny Smith is basketball's Renaissance man.
He grew up in Queens, graduated from North Carolina with a degree in economics, won two championship rings with the Rockets, and is now an insightful NBA analyst for TNT.
He is, without a doubt, much more than a straight man to Sir Charles Barkley. The man knows his hoops. And he's not afraid to speak his mind.
Recently, Lakers superstar Kobe Bryan took some interesting photos for the L.A. Times Magazine wearing all white outfits. The photos were, well, peculiar. In one photo, Bryant wore a white hat and headband, coaxing this description from Smith: "A combination of Tupac and Liberace."
That's the kind of wit Smith possesses.
Now Smith is ready to answer questions from Denver Post readers. The former three-point marksman is this week's subject of "Fan Mail."
Ask Smith about the Nuggets or about working in the studio with Barkley. Ask him if this is LeBron James' year to win a title, or if Kobe will wear another ring.
Please send your questions to email@example.com. Please include your first name and were you are from. Questions will be accepted through Wednesday. Smith's responses will appear at denverpost.com/sports beginning Friday and in Saturday's edition of The Post.

CAIRO, March 8 (UPI) -- Dozens of people from a handful of families were killed Thursday by Syrian government troops in Homs, Syrian opposition groups said.
The Local Coordination Committees said 44 people were killed in what the group described as a massacre, the BBC reported. The killings happened in the Jobar district of Homs. Twenty people were from a single family and 16 were from another.
Government forces have retaken Homs after weeks of bombings and attacks.
The BBC said activists groups report the execution of men from Hom's devastated Baba Amr neighborhood, the slaying of entire families and the mass rape of women.
More than 7,500 people have died as a result of the violence in Syria over the past 12 months, U.N. officials said.
Kofi Annan, the Joint Special Envoy of the United Nations and the League of Arab States for Syria, Thursday called for an immediate end to the killings and warned against the use of force to bring an end to the crisis.
"I hope no one is thinking very seriously of using force in the situation. I believe any further militarization will make the situation worse," Kofi Annan said at a joint press conference in Cairo with the Secretary-General of the Arab League, Nabil El-Araby.
"We have to be careful that we don't introduce a medicine that is worse than the disease," he said. "And we do not have to go very far in the region to find an example of what I am talking about."
Annan was in Cairo for discussions with the Arab League ahead of his scheduled visit this weekend to Syria.
The former U.N. Secretary-General has been tasked with helping to end the deadly violence gripping the country and find a peaceful political solution.
"The level of violence is excessive and unacceptable by any standards," Annan said. "This cannot continue. The violence and the killing must stop and stop immediately. There is an urgent need to change course."
Syria's deputy oil minister has allegedly resigned and joined opposition efforts to force President Bashar Assad from power, French media reported.
France 24 said Abdo Hussam el Din told the news channel he no longer wished to work for "a criminal regime."
A man identifying himself as the deputy oil minister posted a video on YouTube Wednesday saying he was defecting.
"I am joining the revolution of this noble people who will not accept injustice," the man said in Arabic. "I've been part of this government for 33 years, and I have acquired many titles, and I do not want to retire serving the crimes of this regime."
Heavy fighting was reported Thursday near the Syrian-Turkish border, activists said.
At least 40 people were killed Wednesday, including seven children, a woman and two military recruits, activists said. The LCC said 26 people were killed in Homs, seven in Idlib, two in the Aleppo suburb of Atareb, three in Daraa and two in Damascus suburbs.
Syrian state media said 14 "army and law enforcement martyrs" were buried Wednesday.
In Washington, the Obama administration said for the first time it was ready to provide direct assistance to Syria's rebels.
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told the Senate Armed Services Committee Wednesday the administration was preparing to supply communications and other "non-lethal" equipment to Syrian opposition forces, although he said the opposition's lack of cohesion and structure posed a challenge.
Meanwhile, the top U.N. relief official said through a spokeswoman the shattered Baba Amr neighborhood of the Syrian city of Homs she visited Wednesday was "devastated" and all-but-devoid of inhabitants.
"She says that the parts [of Homs] they saw were completely devastated," Amanda Pitt, spokesman for Valerie Amos, the U.N. undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief, was quoted by the British newspaper the Daily Telegraph as saying.
"She said Homs feels like a city that has been completely closed down," Pitt said.
The 45-minute visit to the former opposition stronghold was the first inspection of Homs by an independent outside observer since Syrian armed forces besieged it more than a month ago to crush a key hub of armed resistance.
Her visit, under Syrian Red Crescent escort, also marked the first time the relief agency was allowed to enter the district since the siege ended March 1.
The Assad regime first promised to let humanitarian relief into the area last Friday, but troops loyal to the regime continually told aid workers the neighborhood was sealed, citing security problems.

The American Water Works Association (AWWA) has designated May 7 – 13 as National Drinking Water Week for 2000. The theme for this year's event is "Water Works Wonders!"
Educational events are planned on a state and local level throughout the week, in schools, drinking water treatment plants, shopping malls, and city halls. These environmentally concerned groups have scheduled river cleanups, hazardous waste collections, and other water pollution-fighting efforts. Although the official week runs from May 7 to May 13, some utilities have selected another week that fits better in their communities. And in California, the Water Awareness Campaign lasts the entire month of May.
While the association does not have the staff and connections to organize local events, it supports its 5,000 utility members with resources and a national media campaign. Popular events include open houses, contests for posters promoting water protection and conservation, displays at community centers and libraries, historic commemorations, public commissioning of new facilities, and public service announcements on radio and television.
For more than 30 years, the American Water Works Association has celebrated Drinking Water Week with its members. In 1988, AWWA brought the event to the attention of our government and formed a coalition along with the League of Women Voters, the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Through these efforts, the National Drinking Water Alliance was formed of 15 nonprofit educational, professional, and public interest organizations.
The Blue Thumb Campaign, a year-round effort by these organizations, publishes a kit containing the following: water facts; Q&As; games and activities for kids; a coloring book; tips for water conservation; camera-ready ads for Drinking Water Week and the Blue Thumb logo; a sample news release; a poster; a catalog of Blue Thumb and youth education materials; and discount coupons for Blue Thumb products. The kit was sent to AWWA member utilities and other participating groups in late February.
Members can purchase additional kits from the AWWA Bookstore (800-926-7337) for $7.95. There is also a Web page for the Blue Thumb Campaign, www.awwa.org/bluethum.htm.
