ByElliotSpagat The Associated Press SAN DIEGO California of- ficials say the state set an unrealistic bar to save the Salton Sea and have out- lined a series of small proj- ects aimed at staving off the demise of the state's largest lake. Kealii Bright, the state Natural Resources Agen- cy's deputy secretary for legislation, told a panel Wednesday that the state erred in 2007 when it backed an $8.9 billion plan to restore the disappearing Salton Sea. He says the lake must compete with other proj- ects for state bond money and highlighted several modest endeavors, includ- ing a wetlands restoration project. The State Water Re- sources Control Board convened an all-day work- shop in Sacramento after Imperial Valley agencies said the nation's largest farm-to-city water trans- fer should be conditioned on restoring the lake in California's southeastern desert. SALTON SEA Stateofficialssetmodest plans for vanishing lake The Associated Press WASHINGTON Prince Charles and his wife, Ca- milla, got the royal tour of the U.S. capital on Wednes- day, being ushered around Washington's monuments and memorials on the Na- tional Mall by a handful of American luminaries. The British royal cou- ple was joined by two civil rights leaders for their tour of the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial — the Rev. Jesse Jackson, a protege of King; and Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, who marched in the "Bloody Sunday" demonstrations for minor- ity voting rights 50 years ago. Charles and Camilla spent about 20 minutes touring the King memorial. The couple paused briefly to read some of King's quota- tions about the civil rights movement that are en- graved in stone. "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that," read one quotation where the royal couple paused to see King's words from 1963. Joan Darby, who brought her U.S. history class from Stafford, Virginia, to the King memorial said they were thrilled and surprised to meet Prince Charles, along with Lewis and Jack- son. "To come here and have such a joyful event was just really incredible luck on our part," she said. Harry Johnson, the pres- ident of the foundation that built the King memorial, said he gave the royal cou- ple a stone from the memo- rial's granite as a gift. The royal couple also vis- ited the Lincoln Memorial, where they were greeted by historians Michael Be- schloss and the Pulitzer Prize-winning Doris Ke- arns Goodwin, author of "Team of Rivals: The Po- litical Genius of Abraham Lincoln." At George Washing- ton's Mount Vernon estate, Charles and Camilla toured the iconic mansion over- looking the Potomac, stop- ping outside on the veranda to appreciate the view. Charles later toured the working farm on the es- tate, viewing a demonstra- tion of a specially designed threshing barn by Washing- ton and patting the horn of an ox named Jed. "You've got to watch these," Charles quipped, re- ferring to the horns. Kitty Morgan of Mount Vernon brought her two sons to the estate and was one of hundreds who lined up to catch a glimpse of the couple. The boys were re- warded with the chance to shake Camilla's hand. Originally from Brit- ain, Morgan said she "de- cided my boys, being Brit- ish, needed to see their fu- ture sovereign."

Most areas can expect a sunny day with less wind compared to Wednesday due to high pressure over New York state. Milder air will build eastward over the northern Plains to the Upper Midwest thanks to a westerly flow out of the Rockies. Meanwhile, a couple of storm systems will spread a large swath of clouds and rain from the southern Plains and Texas to the Carolinas and Georgia. The steadiest rain will fall from central Georgia to the southern Appalachians and in portions of Kansas and Oklahoma.
