...camera operators. Trailed by two black suburbans, the blue-and-white jet moved east, then turned west, into the prevailing winds, throttled to full power and lifted the Obama's into the mountain sky and off to another working-vacation destination, the next town hall meeting in Grand Junction, Colorado...
...series of longitudinal studies of home nurse visits have found that they can have powerful positive outcomes for both parents and children. One University of Colorado study found that 15 years after receiving home nurse visits, low-income unmarried mothers were more likely to be employed and less likely to have used welfare services, and their children were less likely to be victims of child abuse. Another evaluation of a Memphis-based program found that nurse visits improved the chances that parents would stay together after the birth of their child. Researchers say the programs are also linked to higher...
...arrival and for the side trips to Yellowstone as well as for another town-hall meeting in Grand Junction, Colo. That meeting will be the President's third such appearance after one in New Hampshire on Aug. 11 and Montana's on Aug. 14.

The result: insurers in states without premium caps were charging those with pre-existing conditions as much as 464% of standard premiums, according to the Government Accountability Office.

In Colorado, for example, Bonny Lake State Park in the Eastern Plains near the Kansas border had been open year-round but will now be closed from October through April and will trim its staff from four employees to one. "At the same time we're cutting back, we have one of the fastest growing states in the country, full of people who come here for the beauty...
