Resorts and cruise lines have risen to meet the new demand. The Broadmoor, a venerable hotel in Colorado Springs, Colo., has seen a 3% increase each year in the number of multigenerational families who celebrate holidays there. Canyon Ranch, which has enjoyed a steady Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter business, added Passover seders seven or eight years ago. They are populated mostly by couples, like the Friends, who leave the family behind to get a new type of R. and R.: religion and relaxation...
That Las Vegas has real water woes can't be denied. The city exceeded the capacity of its own groundwater field several decades ago, and currently is 90% dependent on a limited allotment from the Colorado River--an allotment it's fast outgrowing. That is what has driven the city to petition for water rights in the outlying counties, but if the history of Western development has shown one thing, it's that this kind of water shopping can go terribly awry. In the early part of the 20th century, Los Angeles famously--and secretly--bought up thousands of acres...
Equally controversial plans could move beyond mere talk in other Western cities. A multiyear drought, which eased only this year, dropped water levels in the Colorado River's vast reservoirs to historic lows, raising the specter of involuntary rationing. It was a shock that rattled water managers in numerous states, causing Denver, for example, to eye the headwaters of the Gunnison River, clear across the Continental Divide, and Los Angeles to consider exploiting a groundwater field in the Mojave Desert.

Her first position came about by chance, after she wandered into something called the P.E.O. Chapter House in Cheyenne Canyon, near Colorado Springs. "I was curious about it," she says, "and discovered it was a retirement home for older members of the Philanthropic Educational Organization, a nonprofit devoted to promoting higher education for women." Though a small staff took care of the grounds and meals, the house manager was looking for someone to live on-site. Hanks...
...Mart?nez es m?s que el primer senador cubanoamericano de los Estados Unidos. Por ser uno de s?lo dos hispanos en el senado de EE.UU. (el otro es el senador dem?crata Ken Salazar de Colorado) y porque representa a La Florida con su clave poder electoral, Mart?nez es quiz?s el legislador hispano m?s importante del pa?s. Cuando fue electo el pasado oto?o, Mart?nez era considerado poco m?s que un lacayo del presidente George W. Bush. Pero Mart?nez puso fin a esos rumores cuando esta primavera pidi? el cierre de la controversial prisi?n en Guant?namo y declar? que el gobierno estaba ignorando...
