Introducing the Colorado Community College Newswire

Article by Joe Marquez

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Colorado Community College Newswire at http://newswire.coloradocommunitycolleges.com

The Colorado Community College Newswire (the Newswire) is a one-stop Word Press-driven resource for journalists and those interested in news and information coming out of Colorado’s community colleges.

We intend for the newswire to be a convenient one-stop way for journalists to get information on how Colorado’s community colleges are not only serving their students but our state’s citizenry, businesses, industry, education infrastructure, governments and non-profits.

We also intend for the newswire to broaden exposure to the news and information flowing out of Colorado’s community colleges because articles posted on it will have greater search engine visibility and presence in news article crawls.

Furthermore, the newswire gives those who are not affiliated with a particular institution, a chance to review the activities of multiple colleges in one place without having to surf numerous different websites.

Finally, this newswire will act as a searchable historical database of articles from Colorado’s community colleges hence extending its utility as a resource for journalists and other stakeholders interested in our institutions from this perspective.

The newswire will be a great resource for covering the Colorado Community College System. CCCS comprises the state’s largest system of higher education serving more than 151,000 students annually. CCCS oversees career and academic programs in the 13 state community colleges and career and technical programs in more than 160 school districts and seven other post-secondary institutions The system’s colleges include: Arapahoe Community College, Colorado Northwestern Community College, Community College of Aurora, Community College of Denver, Front Range Community College, Lamar Community College, Morgan Community College, Northeastern Junior College, Otero Junior College, Pueblo Community College (including their Southwest Colorado Community College division), Pikes Peak Community College, Red Rocks Community College and Trinidad State Junior College.

Labrador Rescue – Denver, Colorado

Labrador rescues in Colorado are frequent, which is both good and bad news. It is good news in that more Labrador rescues means fewer Labs that are left to a cruel fate in animal shelters. It is bad news in that more Labrador rescues means more people have not thought about the responsibility they were incurring when they bought a cute Labrador puppy.

Labrador rescue in Denver alone is responsible for hundreds of Labrador Retrievers going to good homes instead of being left on the streets.

Labrador rescues in Colorado are accomplished in several ways.

* Labs may be rescued from shelters. If a Lab remains in the shelter a certain length of time, and no one chooses to adopt it, Labrador rescue comes to its aid, preventing euthanasia.

* Sometimes, Labrador rescues in Colorado are made, not by going out and getting the dog, but by the dog being delivered to the rescue group. Families that decide they can no longer provide the kind of home the Lab needs donate the dog, hoping it will find a good “forever” home.

* From time to time the Labrador rescue in Denver, Colorado receives Labs that were left behind when their owners died.

Labrador rescues in Denver, Colorado are not very different from those in other cities and states, of course. Many places are rescuing Labrador Retrievers and finding permanent homes for them.

]]>


Safe Harbor Lab Rescue

Safe Harbor Lab Rescue is a non-profit organization in Golden, Colorado – a western suburb of Denver. Like so many other Labrador rescue groups, Safe Harbor Lab Rescue is run by volunteers. Their purpose is to care for stray or surrendered Labrador Retrievers until a permanent home can be found for them.

Safe Harbor is in urgent need of foster homes in the Denver-Boulder area to help save the lives of lovable Labs.

Labrador Rescue Stories

Read stories of Labrador rescues, and you will see that these groups provide an important service. Just one story will give the idea.

Labrador rescue saved a 7-year old Lab from life in a small crate. From the time it was a puppy, this dog had been confined to its crate most of the day. It received little attention. It received little exercise. It had grown to be nearly 100 pounds, and had been house-trained, but still it remained in that small crate. Imagine its joy when Labrador rescue got it out of the crate and into a place where it could run and play. With the boundless energy of a Labrador Retriever having been held back for so long, a dog like this appreciates whoever gave it a second chance. Now this particular lovable Lab is just waiting for someone to give it a permanent home similar to the one it has at the Labrador rescue home.

Labrador rescue dogs are not always comfortable when they first go to a permanent home. They remember being in a home before. They may have had a bad experience. Many times, Labrador rescue dogs are afraid of everything in the new home. They hide behind furniture or in closets. They are very adaptable, however, and with patience and lots of love, new owners can turn a Labrador rescue dog into a lovable Lab.

Finding a Labrador Rescue Group

If you think you would like to adopt a Labrador rescue dog or puppy, you can easily find a Labrador rescue group. Use you favorite search engine, and enter the words “Labrador rescue” without quotation marks. If you have trouble finding one near your home, contact one of the others on the Internet and ask for help. They will often know, or can find out, whether there is a Labrador rescue home in your area.

Anna has posted additional information on that site about training Labrador Retrievers.

Playing the Colorado Lottery

Playing the Colorado Powerball game can be a great way to let off steam and to let your imagination run wild. There are a variety of lottery games available in Colorado, but Colorado Powerball is probably the most popular one of all. This is because the game offers that possibility of extra large payouts, yet it still only costs a dollar to play. Rather than spending several dollars on a scratch-off card that might offer a few thousand dollars, you can spend less money but get the chance to win much, much more.

How to Play the Colorado Powerball Lottery Game

To play the Colorado lottery Powerball game, you simply must choose six numbers. The first five numbers must fall between one and fifty-five, so you can pick your birthday, your mom’s birthday, your favorite lucky number or anything you like. The sixth number is known as the Powerball number, and this can be anywhere from one to forty-two. You can choose all of the numbers yourself, or you can let the computer pick them for you by purchasing a Colorado lottery Powerball Quick Pick. This is quicker and easier than choosing your own Powerball lottery numbers, but it might not be as fun, especially if you enjoy the thrill of picking them by yourself.

Colorado Powerball Lottery Options

No matter how you pick your Power Ball lottery numbers, if you match all six you win the jackpot, which means you are set for life. However, if your Powerball ticket has five matching numbers, you will still win quite a bit of cash. The payout for matching all five Powerball numbers without the Powerball is a whopping two hundred thousand dollars. That is enough to make anyone happy with getting second prize. To find out the current Power Ball winning numbers, you can check powerball, the official website of the game. You can also look at the Colorado Powerball game section of the state’s lottery website.

The Colorado Powerball Lottery Supports Conservation

If you are conservation minded then the Colorado lottery is the one for you. The money collected goes for a variety of projects such as, trails, Kayak courses, the Conservation trust fund and Lynx reintroduction. Besides Powerball, which has already been covered, the Colorado lottery offers several other games. These include the Colorado Lotto. In this game the player selects 6 numbers from 1 to 42. In the Cash 5 lottery the player selects 5 numbers from 1 to 32.

Buy Colorado Powerball Lottery Tickets

You may play the Colorado Powerball lottery and all other Colorado lottery games from the comfort of your own home. To do so, simply log onto your official state website. These sites explain how to purchase tickets, and often times tickets can be purchased online so you can play most state lotteries from the comfort of your own home.
