About Us
Our Mission
High Country News is a nonprofit 501(c)3 independent media organization that covers the important issues and stories that define the American West. Our mission is to inform and inspire people – through in-depth journalism – to act on behalf of the West's diverse natural and human communities.
What we do
High Country News is the nation's leading source of reporting on the American West. We publish an award-winning magazine and a popular website, along with special reports and books. Through in-depth reporting, High Country News covers the American West's public lands, water, natural resources, grazing, wilderness, wildlife, logging, politics, communities, growth and other issues now changing the face of the West. From Alaska and the Northern Rockies to the desert Southwest, from the Great Plains to the West Coast, High Country News covers 12 Western states and is the leading source for regional environmental news, analysis and commentary — an essential resource for those who care about this region.
Our print and online magazine has more than 36,000 subscribers, including policymakers, educators, public land managers, environmental professionals, outdoor enthusiasts and thousands of other "people who care about the West." Our website attracts nearly 400,000 sessions each month, and our online archives are unusually deep, from the first issue in 1970 to today.
High Country News' commitment to environmental stewardship, diversity and social responsibility gives an added resonance to our unique Western voice, through journalism that goes well beyond what other journalists do. We strive to inspire and engage readers to expand their own perspectives and accept the challenge of new stories and new ideas. As we increasingly embrace diversity in our organization, our journalistic work does a better job of representing a society that is home to many viewpoints. Only by doing so can we fulfill our mission and ensure that High Country News remains a relevant, engaging publication that is essential to all who care about the West.
We are a nonprofit

The SEJ judges said, "Cally Carswell's well-written, educational and entertaining story created a narrative that most certainly heightened public awareness about an important topic that is often overlooked when discussing the planet's growing carbon footprint: the vital role trees play … This story highlighted the challenges of this important work."

"From the effects of Twilight-inspired tourism on the Quileute Nation to half-built subdivisions at the foot of the Grand Tetons, HCN shines a spotlight on our culture's relationship to the wild. And while it might be easy to vilify, say, a developer in the Tetons or the Twilight tourists, HCN's reporters seek nuance instead."

SEJ judges said Ring's stories provided "compelling and provocative coverage of Western natural-resource conflicts ... sweeping in scope, befitting the West's broad canvas, and meticulous in detail, a mark of fine reporting. On topics ranging from wildfires to an anti-environmental shock jock, Ring presents fascinating insights into the region's unique blend of natural wonders and human foibles."
- The 2003 Society of Environmental Journalists Awards, third place in the Outstanding Beat Reporting category, for Ray Ring's series of stories including "Wolf at the Door." SEJ judges said, "Equally at ease writing about wolves or killer bees, about the fervor of snowmobilers or the foibles of Arizona governors, Ray Ring reported scenes so vividly that readers felt taken along for some fascinating rides. A chronicler this skillful didn't have to moralize; he just let the subjects speak for themselves. His stories for High Country News had depth and texture rarely matched by the efforts of publications with much greater resources."
- A 1986 George Polk Award for Environmental Reporting.
Our history
Find more detailed information on our history.
August 1969: Tom Bell, a Wyoming rancher, wildlife biologist and World War II combat veteran, purchases Camping News Weekly.
1970: Bell renames the publication High Country News and begins to focus on environmental issues, based in a Lander, Wyoming, headquarters.
1971: Bell establishes the publication as a nonprofit because subscriptions and advertising alone weren't supporting it.
1973: Bell announces that HCN will cease publication due to a lack of revenue. "We have done our best. It was not good enough." Readers step up to preempt the closure, mailing in donations and notes encouraging the team not to quit.
1974: Bell steps back and the publication is taken over by staff writers Bruce Hamilton and Joan Nice Hamilton.
1978: A car accident kills HCN news editor Justas Bavarskis and injures three other staffers, putting the publication into another financial crisis. Once again, readers donate enough to keep it going (over $32,000 this time).
1983: The High Country News board of directors hires Ed and Betsy Marston to run the publication, and they move HCN from Wyoming to Paonia, a small town in rural western Colorado. Over the years, they expand the scope of coverage and increase circulation from 3,000 in 1984 to 20,000 in 2001.
2002: Ed Marston steps down after 19 years as publisher. Betsy Marston continues to work at HCN as editor of our Writers on the Range op-ed syndicate.
2003: Managing editor Paul Larmer officially becomes HCN's new publisher after some time as interim. HCN runs our first full-color cover, while the rest of the magazine remains in black and white.
2005: HCN becomes a full-color magazine throughout.
2016: Distribution of the print magazine continues to grow, which is currently at an all-time high of 35,000 and nearly 55,000 subscribers to our weekly newsletter.

Washington Post: Stop Us Before We Do Any More Real Journalism Like That Cute Little Guardian Paper
from the we-should-never-have-broken-watergate deptWant to see how an out of touch editorial board works? The Washington Post -- which continues to be a key player in publishing documents leaked by Ed Snowden -- has written a bizarre and totally tone deaf post about how the leaks need to stop before they cause any real damages.
In fact, the first U.S. priority should be to prevent Mr. Snowden from leaking information that harms efforts to fight terrorism and conduct legitimate intelligence operations. Documents published so far by news organizations have shed useful light on some NSA programs and raised questions that deserve debate, such as whether a government agency should build a database of Americans' phone records. But Mr. Snowden is reported to have stolen many more documents, encrypted copies of which may have been given to allies such as the WikiLeaks organization.Yes, this is an editorial board of a newspaper famous for breaking stories thanks to whistleblowers and leakers, including this very story, asking the government to stop them from being able to publish any more leaked documents. It's as if the Editorial Board of the Washington Post doesn't even realize that its own reporters have been key players in reporting on this story. Or, as Jack Shafer amusingly wrote: "Bart Gellman's stories are coming from INSIDE YOUR BUILDING!"
It is not clear whether Russia or China hasobtained the material, though U.S. officials would have to assume that Mr. Snowden would be obliged to hand over whatever he has to win asylum in Moscow. Such an exchange would belie his claim to be a patriotic American and a whistleblower. At the same time, stopping potentially damaging revelations or the dissemination of intelligence to adversaries should take precedence over U.S. prosecution of Mr. Snowden — which could enhance his status as a political martyr in the eyes of many both in and outside the United States.
And then, in a bizarre article by Paul Farhi, the Washington Post appears to mock The Guardian, the famed British newspaper, which has been around for almost two centuries and is well known around the globe, as if it's some small upstart:
For a newspaper that's small and underweight even by British standards, the Guardian has a knack for making some big noises, both in its home market and across the pond.Of course, as plenty of folks are pointing out, the Guardian is larger than the Washington Post in terms of readership:
The Guardian's global monthly unique visitors: 23.2 million 41 million in May, per Guardian press officer Gennady KolkerAnd, in terms of newsrooms, apparently, they have nearly identical staff sizes. Oh, and then there's this: while the Washington Post has beaten the Guardian to a few of these stories, the Guardian is generally cleaning WaPo's clock in terms of its overall coverage of the leaks. Perhaps the Washington Post shouldn't let its jealousy show quite so much.
The Washington Post's monthly unique visitors: 17.2 million

What You Say
Sue Morland
I booked Mr Payne to visit my brothers badly neglected feet. We found Mr Payne to be on time, informative and friendly, after the visit my brothers feet feel and look a great deal better for a very reasonable cost, we will be using Hi-Tech Chiropody on a regular basis.
Thank you Mr Payne
Brenda +Tony Shakespeare
Martlesham, Ipswich
Hello Michael,
I followed your advice and obtained antibiotics and my toe is now feeling a lot better. My feet are a lot more comfortable for your attention.
Thank you for your prompt visit and friendly service, we will be calling on you again.
Robert Fielder
Michael Payne has been visiting me at home as I don't drive.
He has always been courteous and very friendly and I am confident that after his visit my feet will feel much better.
I suffer from hard skin chiefly which Michael has the various equipment to eradicate.
Margaret Frost
Clacton on Sea
I don't have a car, but I do have dogs - therefore I do a lot of walking and my feet are very important to me. Since one of my dog walking friends recommended Michael my feet are in wonderful condition. After a treatment I am 'walking on air'.
There is an added bonus in that since his first visit I have felt so at ease with him - he is interesting to talk to and when he visits me, it is like having a friend call on you.
Mrs M L Long
To whom it may concern
Mike Payne has dealt with my troublesome feet for over ten years. He has kept them in good order for me but has also dealt with me in a courteous and kind manner making it a pleasure to see him.
I would recommend him to anyone.
Mrs Reeve
I recommend Mr Payne to all my friends and family.
I couldn't thank him enough as I was so nervous to see a chiropodist as I had the most painful ingrown toe nail which I kept putting off. Mr Payne was recommended to me and I decided to get the problem treated. He was so patient and put me at ease and it was not as painful as I thought, I felt in good hands and his aftercare and advice was excellent.
I now have become a bit of a regular keeping my nails in check and callous ( hard skin) at bay.
Glynne Bradford
Re Michael Payne Chiropodist
My ingrowing toe nails have been cured after receiving lots of TLC and I know not of any other person who uses the type of drill Michael does with such tenderness and compassion.
Ms Lynda A Hopgood
After suffering for many years with corn's calluse's and fungal nail infections, I then became a client of Mr Michael L Payne and cannot praise him enough for his patience and kindness in dealing with my with my problems which I am now happy to say have almost completely been rectified, and are now the most comfortable they have been in years.
I found Mr Payne to be a very professional, knowledgable and friendly gentleman whom I would gladly recommend to anyone.
Mrs A Spencer
I can highly recommend Michael Payne, my Chiropodist,
who has been tending my feet on a regular basis for the past 17 years.
After every session I feel I have two new feet.
Pat Spencer
Clacton on Sea
Another successful visit from Michael for the
removal of the "Troublesome corn" which others have not been able to do. Excellent service and highly recommended .
Nothing is too much trouble, why not give him a ring and make that much needed appointment.
Mr Andrews
I was recommended to Mr Payne after suffering terrible knee pain ever since a young age. He immediately diagnosed me with having very flat feet and due to the jobI have I required custom made orthotics.
Within weeks of using these every day the knee pain reduced and has now disappeared, I would strongly recommend Mr Payne to anyone due to the excellent service I received.
Georgina Morsley
Clacton on sea
Michael Payne became my chiropodist after an older chiropodist had shaken his head and said that he did not quite know what was wrong with my toes.
I was in a lot of pain and becoming more and more disabled but with the regular and effective treatment I am now receiving the corns are almost cured.
The relief I feel is unbelievable.
Richard Mallinder
After several years of pain due to playing sports of various kinds with big toe, in-growing nails; it's not an over exaggeration to state that finding a chiropodist of Michael Payne's calibre can only be judged from the facts.
Once Michael completed remedial work on the offending in-growing toe nails, I am now pain free and have remained so for the best part of 10 years.
Mr & Mrs Parker
My husband has been a patient of Mr Payne's for the last 16 years.Mr Payne has always been professional and courteous.His friendly manner and sensitive handling of my husband's feet have made his visits to us a pleasure.
Mr Payne has also helped me with orthotics which have made walking much easier.
We have no hesitation in recommending Mr Payne; he is a very experienced and meticulous chiropodist.
Ann Edmunds
I consulted Michael Payne as I had a painful big toe due to the nail thickening. Even after his first visit I was pain free and remain so due to his regular visits.
Michael is not only good at his job he is also a nice person to have in my home.
Karen Lonton
I have been visiting Michael Payne at his surgery in Colchester for nine years; now he has moved to Ipswich I have home visits from him, which I really appreciate as I didn't want to lose him.
He has kept my feet in good condition being I suffer from hard toe nail, corns and hard skin.
I would highly recommend Michael to anyone.

Thanks to Rochelle Wisoff Fields for hosting FF.
I love orchids, especially purple ones. For me, orchids stand for resiliency and strength. One reason for this is that orchids need little care. A cupful of water every few days, leave them in the sun by a window, and they will continue to bloom and put out new shoots. Kindly, remember not to water them more, it's how they die and orchids are notoriously difficult to kill.
Season after season orchids put out shoots which turn into buds and burst out as soft petaled flowers. I think as orchids, humans are built to last. Though we are all moving towards our eventual death, on the way we are continuely putting out shoots and if we're careful, growing beautiful flowers in the lives of those we touch. We are people who can grow even in harsh conditions. It doesn't take much to fuel us, to keep us going, demonstrating our kindness to others.

As I type this, I sit in my friend's Wohnung in Vienna. I arrived last night, later than expected as all flights in Berlin were delayed due to a supposed bomb threat according to our pilot, and when I arrived in Austria, it was dark and drizzling. I have been to Vienna once before for just over a week. Perhaps, the great gods of Viennese arts and thought will strike me down as I take my sip of coffee, but I found the city–albeit, beautiful–a bit dull. The buildings are grand and opulent; sometimes I think of structures carved from marzipan by master bakers. I am here for three weeks and a pit grows in my stomach as I try to consider how this city will be more appealing for this longer stay.
Like all semi-tech savvy 21st century citizens, when recommendations failed from my friends, I went straight to the internet. There are certainly a few sites and top 10 lists, but they often suggest the same handful of Schlösser, other palatial estates, and museums. I've found some sites that are well-kept by engaging locals, which I am more than grateful for, but the trend is to point people of the non-castle trekking variety* to coffeehouses (Kaffeehäuser). Coffeehouses are completely part of Vienna. You have a coffee and a cake (actually, with all of my complaining, this is one of my favorite things to indulge in while in German-speaking countries; I can wax on endlessly about my favorite: pflaumenkuchen.)
I should be more grateful, as I am in the city for a literary grant, but in my curmudgeonry, I thought to Thomas Bernhard. Bernhard was a 20th century Austrian writer who often poked satirical fun at what he thought were the tired and stupid ways of Austrians. His works caused scandals. A favorite of mine is Woodcutters (original title: Holzfällen), where the narrator cleverly mocks a group of dinner guests all the while sitting in a wing chair.
As I sidetracked from my original mission to find something interesting in Vienna, I did a quick internet search of Thomas Bernhard and if he had specific thoughts on the city. I immediately found an excerpt from an autobiographical work called Wittgenstein's Nephew. The short bit is a humorous reflection that Bernhard has about his relationship to Viennese coffeehouses and what he calls the Viennese coffeehouse disease. It's a quick read, for sure, but here are a few favorites:
On other literary-inclined coffee house patrons,
These friends introduced me to the refined world of the Sacher, Vienna's premier coffee-house — not, I am thankful to say, to one that was frequented by the literary folk, whom I have basically always found repugnant[.]
On German and Austrian newspapers (compared to English and French),
From my early youth I have regarded the ability to read English and French books and newspapers as the greatest advantage I possess. What would my world be like, I often wonder, if I had to rely on the German papers, which are for the most part little more than garbage sheets — to say nothing of the Austrian newspapers, which are not newspapers at all but mass-circulation issues of unusable toilet paper?
On Viennese coffee houses and himself,
The truth is that I have always hated the Viennese coffeehouse because in them I am always confronted with people like myself, and naturally I do not wish to be everlastingly confronted with people like myself, and certainly not in a coffeehouse where I go to escape from myself. Yet it is here that I find myself confronted with myself and my kind.
So there you have it. My Viennese dilemma. If you haven't read Thomas Bernhard, you certainly should start right away. I think many of his books have been reissued in recent years in English translation. Has anyone else visited this beautiful yet dull city? Perhaps you are like my friend who has lived here for many years and compares it and its people to a mausoleum.
* I love castles, but I think I have seen so many on my previous trip to Vienna, there is no reason for me to go out of my way to see one. If I happen to stumble upon one, I shall look at it, thinks it's beautiful, and continue walking on (probably to a coffeehouse to have a cake).

"... that we too might live a new life." -- Romans 6:4
"How Can I Live With HIV/AIDS?"
There are many ways you can help yourself be hopefully and joyfully alive when you've been diagnosed with HIV or AIDS. Many of these techniques to foster a quality life come from the experiences of people who have survived HIV and AIDS since the earliest years of the epidemic.
When a person was diagnosed with AIDS in the early '80's, there were no long term survivors to use as role models, and there were no stories of remission or wellness. Persons with AIDS were told they had six months to two years to live, and there was nothing the medical world could do to help.
Some people, however, began to survive and thrive with AIDS even before medical treatments became available. These people were creating their own wellness programs, using what some people call "alternative therapies," sometimes making role models of persons who had survived cancer against all odds.
Today there are many treatments for HIV/AIDS: treatments which can slow the activity of HIV or control other infections associated with HIV, as well as treatments which can protect a person from many of the opportunistic infections which killed people quickly in the early years of HIV/AIDS.
In addition to what the medical world has to offer, there is a great deal that anyone living with HIV/AIDS can do to help sustain life, to enhance the quality of your life, and to improve the chances of surviving beyond the prognosis. As soon as you begin to help yourself actively, you begin to create hope.
Sometimes it is easier to feel hopeless. It takes work to hope. And it takes work to create a quality life with HIV/AIDS.
Why not believe that you can be a longterm survivor? Why not believe that miracles are possible, and that you can do a lot to help yourself? Why not create your own wellness program? Why not fight for your life?
If you really want to live with HIV/AIDS, these are some of the activities which can help:
1) Nurture Your Faith
The Christian faith gives you everything you need spiritually to be fully alive with HIV/AIDS. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ shows us that God is greater than the death of Jesus on the cross. If God is greater than death, then certainly God is greater than HIV/AIDS.
The Scriptures are full of passages which can help you be fully alive with hope for the future. The New Testament has many stories of healing. Paul writes about his "thorn in the flesh" and how his faith helped him handle this. The Bible repeatedly portrays God's love for all human beings, and that includes you.
When the woman in the Gospel of Mark is healed of her twelve-year hemorrhage, Jesus said, "Your faith has made you well." What you believe really counts.
One of the names for Jesus Christ is "Immanuel," which means, "God with us." God is with you on your journey with HIV/AIDS. If you are feeling isolated or scared, remember that God, through Jesus Christ, understands exactly what you're going through: Jesus suffered the abandonment of his friends and disciples as he faced a painful and humiliating death. So how could God have anything but compassion for you in whatever challenges you are facing with HIV/AIDS?
Expect God's grace in every circumstance. God is with you. Nurture your faith in God: believing in God's love for you can serve as the starting point for creating the conditions for healing in your life.
2) Maintain Your Self-Esteem
A number of persons have allowed low self-esteem to keep them from doing all they can to improve the quality of their lives, and fight for life itself. A diagnosis of HIV or AIDS can severely challenge a person's self-image, but this is not the time to give in to feelings of low self-esteem.
Your life is worth fighting for.
If feelings of depression or a poor self-image are preventing you from taking action to create a quality life, find a therapist or counselor who can help you sort through your issues. Surround yourself with people who love you. Give yourself plenty of daily affirmations.
Remember: God loves you. And Jesus' great commandment is to love our neighbors as ourselves. This implies that we should be loving ourselves. If some people loved their neighbors the same way they love themselves, they'd have very unhappy neighbors.
Love yourself enough to do the work of healing.
3) Pray
There are studies which show that persons who are prayed for while in surgery suffer fewer complications and recover more quickly than those who are not. Many persons living with HIV/AIDS can testify to the importance of having your friends and family praying for you. If nothing else, it gives people the opportunity to do something actively for you. So when someone asks what they can do for you, ask them to pray.
You can also learn to "pray without ceasing," (I Thessalonians 5:17). Find a short prayer or scripture which you can repeat with each breath. When you have nothing else to distract you, practice saying the prayer with every breath. Then when you are facing medical procedures, or difficult news, try praying with every breath. It helps you to focus on your faith rather than your fear.
Prayer works. Use it!
4) Meditate
Sometimes it helps to think of prayer as talking to God, and meditation as listening to God. Properly practiced, meditation and visualization are among the most effective healing tools available.
If you want to meditate, try to do it more than once each day, as if it were a prescription drug that has to keep flowing steadily through your system. When you first get up in the morning, when you lie down for a nap, or when you're ready to go to sleep at night, put on a meditation tape. These tapes help you to relax and let go of stress, and then help you to visualize your immune system growing stronger.
There are all kinds of wonderful meditation tapes available to help guide you through this process. Or you can create your own, using imagery that is meaningful to you.
Some of the images used in visualization that persons with HIV/AIDS have found helpful include: T-Cells multiplying like rabbits in your blood stream, or T-Cells as little bodybuilders, lifting weights and getting stronger and stronger. Some people with lung problems like to visualize blue light spreading throughout the lungs, or "scrubbing bubbles" moving through, cleaning away any unwanted "debris." People with Kaposi's Sarcoma often visualize erasers eliminating their lesions. People with lymphoma or chronically swollen lymph glands might imagine the glands as sailor's knots being loosened and untied with each cleansing breath.
Again, it is important to make a discipline of doing meditation two or three times daily. Meditation becomes more effective the more regularly you do it. It also helps you face stressful circumstances with greater calm.
5) Eat Wisely
What you feed your body has a tremendous influence over how you're going to do. While there are many claims for a wide range of diets, a sound rule is to get a regular, balanced diet of nutritious foods that will give you useful fuel for your journey with HIV/AIDS.
Fresh fruits and vegetables can give you natural vitamins and minerals. Either peel fruits and vegetables, or wash them thoroughly. Bran or high-fiber foods are important to maintain regular bowel movements, and to avoid constipation. If you are having problems with diarrhea, some physicians recommend the B.R.A.T. Program: Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast. A diet high in protein and carbohydrates, and low in fats and sugars, is a good idea for general good health. It is recommended that meats, poultry, and fish all be well-cooked to avoid infections or contaminants that could make a person with HIV/AIDS very sick.
If you are on antibiotics, you can replace healthy digestive bacteria killed by the antibiotics by taking acidophilus, which can be found in yogurt, specially formulated milk, or as a powder to mix with juice or water.
Sometimes appetite is a problem for persons with HIV/AIDS. Food may not taste good because of medications, or because of a disease process which affects the taste buds or digestive system. Many doctors prescribe nutritional supplements, or appetite stimulants in these situations. If you can't eat three regular meals, try eating five or six smaller meals throughout the day. "Bribe" your appetite by giving yourself treats that you have always enjoyed.
Many people with HIV/AIDS take vitamin and mineral supplements. There is a lot of differing advice on how much of what to take, but a well-balanced daily vitamin regimen for a person with HIV/AIDS might include: Vitamins A, B-Complex, C, and E, as well as the minerals zinc, selenium, and calcium. Garlic is thought by some to be a potent weapon for keeping the immune system and the lungs healthy and strong. Odorless garlic pills are available in many health food stores. Beta carotene is also recommended for people with HIV/AIDS. Orange vegetables and fruits are generally rich in beta carotene.
Some people believe in extraordinarily large doses of Vitamin C. If this sounds like a good idea to you, check with your doctor first: too much Vitamin C can increase stomach acidity. Remember, Vitamin C is ascorbic acid. If you want to take large doses of C, find its buffered form.
If at all possible, consult a professional nutritionist, in addition to your physician. Many HIV/AIDS agencies can easily refer you to a nutritionist in your area.
6) Exercise
Exercise is a vital ingredient to any person's health, but when you have HIV/AIDS, it becomes even more important. Weight-lifting is good for putting on, and keeping on, weight. But there are many kinds of exercise, and it is important to engage in the kind that will keep you interested. The general wisdom of exercising at least three times a week --- to the point of working up a good sweat and accelerating your heart rate --- is good advice for most people facing HIV infection. You don't have to overdo it, but it pays to get the blood pumping, the muscles stretching, and the endorphins flowing through your system. It's not only good for the body, it's good for the spirit as well. It is important to check with your physician before embarking on any program of exercise, whether or not you have HIV/AIDS.
7) Rest
You may need more sleep when living with HIV/AIDS than you have before. Fatigue, a common complaint among person with HIV/AIDS, is a signal from your body that you need to rest. Since your body can do its best healing while asleep, give yourself permission to take a nap during the day, and to sleep a good eight hours at night, if you need it.
The need for sleep varies a great deal, and it's important to remember (for those who have trouble sleeping) that illness can interfere with the normal sleep cycles. Meditation, hot baths, deep breathing, and other relaxation techniques can help you get a good rest.
Give yourself permission to sleep, even taking a couple naps during the day if you need to. If you are working, it is considered a "reasonable accommodation" for an employer to allow a person living with a life-threatening illness to take a nap.
8) Laugh Daily
In his book, Anatomy of an Illness, Norman Cousins tells of his recovery from a life-threatening illness using Marx Brothers movies to make him laugh every day. Some people prefer videotapes of television comedies such as "I Love Lucy." Whatever makes you laugh, make a point of having good, hearty belly laughs several times a day. When you're laughing, you can't be anxious or scared.
It really helps to begin and end each day with laughter. Sometimes you can make yourself laugh just by adding "Tee-hee" to the end of a sentence. Try it (tee-hee!)
Laughter actually has a positive impact on health: like exercise, it releases endorphins, which elevate the mood, and have a healing effect. Laughter really is great medicine.
9) Stay Informed
Many persons with HIV/AIDS find it helpful to educate themselves continually about the latest treatments and research, and the current political activities around HIV/AIDS.
There are many good resources available for keeping informed on the latest developments. UFMCC publishes a newsletter on AIDS, ALERT, which is free to every person with HIV/AIDS. Many people get their information from the gay and lesbian press. Many libraries now carry issues of periodicals such as "AIDS Treatment News," edited by John S. James; "Treatment Issues," published by The Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York; and "PI Perspective," the Project Inform Newsletter, from San Francisco. These periodicals are available internationally by subscription. Outside the United States, non-governmental organizations working in HIV/AIDS may publish similar information.
10) Work With Your Doctor
Sometimes people feel that they have to choose between their physicians, trained in Western medicine, and alternative approaches such as acupuncture, laughter therapy, or nutritional therapies. But a good doctor will understand that you, as the patient, can do a great deal to create the conditions in your body to allow the physician's treatments to work better. Alternative treatments can set the stage for Western medicines to work. In other words, try to obtain the best of both worlds.
It is important to foster good communication with your doctor. The mind, the soul, and the body are all connected, and a wise doctor will use this connection to better the chances of specific treatments working. Let your physician know that you intend to do everything you can to be fully alive with HIV/AIDS.
Don't be afraid to ask your doctor questions about your health status, the disease process, and any medications he or she may prescribe. And when symptoms arise, don't just sit back and worry about them. Communicate with your health care provider. It often helps to bring a specific list of questions or issues to your doctor's appointment. That way you won't forget all the details of your concerns.
11) Stay Involved With Other People
For some people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, there is a tendency to isolate themselves from other people. They may not want to "burden" others with their pain or suffering, they may want others to remember them as they were before their diagnosis, or they may be frightened of the stigma and rejection that is sometimes associated with a diagnosis of HIV or AIDS.
It really helps, however, to stay involved with others, to get away from your own problems for awhile, and focus on helping others. You may discover that your problems aren't quite as horrible or unique as you first thought; and you might discover that others can help you with your problems. You don't have to face this alone.
A community of faith is a good place to be involved with caring and supportive people. It not only supports your faith in living with HIV/AIDS, it can be a source of life-giving activity and involvement. When you are part of a church, you are part of the Body of Christ. As part of the body, your health affects the whole body. And the whole body can help support and sustain you in your life with HIV/AIDS.
12) Engage in Life
It is important to remember that engaging in life, and following your passion, will combat hopelessness. As long as we focus on that which we love about life, hope stands a much better chance.
Longterm survivors of AIDS tend to be involved in some sort of volunteer work in the HIV/AIDS movement, whether it is with a social service agency, a political action group, or a coalition for persons with HIV/AIDS. There is a connection between their longterm survival and the fact that they are involved in the cause. It helps to feel useful at a time when many people might expect you to be quite dependent or helpless. Volunteer work can help you stay active and gain some perspective on your situation.
Pursuing your goals can help you stay engaged in life and give you the motivation to work at taking care of yourself. Don't give up your goals and dreams just because you've been diagnosed with HIV or AIDS.
Part of fully engaging in life is accepting the reality of your mortality. The fact is that we will all die someday. These bodies will stop functioning at some point in the future. That point is unknown for everybody, even when you are living with HIV/AIDS. It could be tomorrow, or it could be years from now. No one is guaranteed that they will be here tomorrow, not even the one who gave you your diagnosis.
Even Jesus had to die, yet God raised Jesus from the dead and showed us that there is life beyond death. Even though our bodies stop functioning, our souls are eternal. In Christ, there is nothing to fear beyond death.
Realizing and accepting the fact that you will die someday can snap you into the present in a way you may never have experienced before. Accepting the reality of your mortality can give you an appreciation and hunger for life.
Accepting the reality of your mortality can motivate you to do everything you can to fight for your life. It has a way of making priorities clearer. Remember, however, that there are no guarantees: people with the best self-care programs and the best attitudes have still experienced the progression of HIV to the point of death.
How do you want to live your life between now and whenever it is that you die? Do you want to live it as if you're dying? Some people do. Others choose to engage in life, to be as fully alive as possible, and to do everything they can to create a quality of life that gives them joy.
There are many methods for helping yourself live with HIV/AIDS. These suggestions are just a few of the ways people have found to change hopelessness into hope, and to bring a sense of life in the face of a life-threatening illness.
Other techniques that some persons with HIV/AIDS have used include Chinese herbal treatments, acupressure, and acupuncture. Don't be afraid to pursue alternatives that you believe can help you.
Whatever you do, stay active and involved in your own treatment and in your own life. Take responsibility for your happiness, for the sake of your life. Now is the time to do everything you can to nourish your body, mind, and spirit.
Remember that God is with you, and God is greater than HIV/AIDS!
This pamphlet was written by the Rev. Dr. Stephen Pieters, a longterm survivor (since 1982) of HIV infection. Although diagnosed with full-blown AIDS, Kaposi's Sarcoma, and Lymphoma, he experienced the complete remission of his cancers while on an experimental drug in 1985. Rev. Pieters is the Field Director of AIDS Ministry for the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches.

There is a popular yet dangerous myth about politics in the United States: Choices and leaders don't really matter. Since events will inevitably unfold regardless of the public's voice, engagement in the political process, let alone leadership, might just as well be left to others.
This is a false perception. Qualified leaders are essential to civic success. The dedication, courage and persistence of individuals are essential to accomplishing anything in public affairs. In short, leadership matters.
Although some individuals are born with instinctive leadership qualities, there are leadership skills that can be taught and learned, practiced and mastered.
"Leadership Matters," a partnership between the Pell Center and the Public Sector Consortium, seeks to contribute to the development of public leaders in Rhode Island. The long-term goal is to provide a center of continuous leadership development that will ensure professional competencies and best practices are continually developed and refreshed.

BALTIMORE – UMBC softball looks to continue its non-conference success as it heads into its final weekend before America East play when the Retrievers host the 11th Annual UMBC Spring Classic. Due to field conditions at the UMBC Softball Stadium, the schedule has been updated from its original form.
The Retrievers will open the weekend with a doubleheader on Friday, March 21, beginning with a 1:45 p.m. matchup against Sacred Heart and following with a meeting against Saint Peter's. On Saturday, March 22, UMBC will start a doubleheader at 12:45 p.m. against the Peacocks and following with a matchup versus the Pioneers. The Retrievers conclude the weekend with a 2 p.m. contest against Mount St. Mary's on Sunday, March 23.
UMBC is off to its second-best start under head coach Joe French, posting a 17-6 record heading into its final weekend of non-conference play. French, a former women's basketball and tennis coach, earned his 800th career coaching victory in the final game of the UMBC Dawg Pound Invitational. The Retrievers defeated Hampton, 6-1, behind the reigning America East Pitcher of the Week Jessica Holte (Ashland, Va./Atlee) and a trio of long balls from UMBC's offense to conclude a 5-2 week.
The Retrievers are batting .293 as a team and are hitting at a .330 clip with runners in scoring position. Junior catcher Taylor Hall (Cosby, Va./Cosby) leads the way with a .403 batting average and a .667 slugging percentage. The junior has 11 extra base hits on the season and has driven in 23 runs. Senior first baseman Chelsea Bertoglio (Laguna Hills, Calif./Laguna Hills/Saddleback College) has added clutch hitting of her own, launching a team-best five home runs and batting in 22 runs. Freshman center fielder Jaclyn Buckley (Voorhees, N.J./Eastern Camden Regional) has posted a .400 on-base percentage and is hitting .380 in her rookie campaign.
In the circle, the Retrievers have seen great production out of their rookie rotation. Holte became the fastest Retriever to reach 11 victories (11-1) and is posting a team-low 1.78 ERA. Kelly Lane (Albany, N.Y./Colonie Central) is holding opponents to a .261 batting average and has already recorded a perfect game and a shutout during her time with the Retrievers. Nicole Casagrand (Horsham, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham) has been victorious in three-of-four decisions and has allowed a team-low 16 earned runs in 35 innings of work.
Sacred Heart (5-7) has dropped three straight coming into the weekend, including a pair to America East foe Stony Brook on Sunday. The Pioneers are led offensively by senior outfielder Jade Bowins' .359 batting average and .432 on-base percentage. Senior catcher Annie Dreher has tallied four extra base hits and has a team-best six RBI. In the circle, Jamie Carlson has struck out 26 batters in 36.0 innings of work and is posting a 3.69 ERA.
Saint Peter's (3-13) fell in six of eight games at the Rebel Games in Orlando, Fla. over spring break. Sophomore Lee Harrison is batting a team-best .333 with three home runs and eight runs batted in. In the circle, Crystal Carlucci is accounted for two of Saint Peter's three victories, seeing 40.1 innings of action and striking out 25 batters.

2013 Royals Offseason Speculation
Another year lost.
That is what we have seen this year, like so many other years, from the Royals. Another year of expectations not met, another year of a losing record, another year of failure. But how can it all turn around? They clearly have talent in place in a lot of areas. They have some guys who have the ability to perform next year, such as Alex Gordon in left, Billy Butler at DH, Alcides Escobar at shortstop, Salvador Perez at catcher, Mike Moustakas at third, and Lorenzo Cain in Center.
If you do a quick evaluation of this team, you will see that the Royals currently rank 9th in the AL in On Base Percentage (OBP). You will notice that we have about six regular players with league or better On-base numbers (League average is about a .320 On-base percentage) (Alex Gordon, Billy Butler, Alcides Escobar, Salvador Perez, Lorenzo Cain, and Chris Getz). If you weed out the players who don't have above average OBP numbers (Below a .340 OBP), you only get Alcides Escobar, Billy Butler, Alex Gordon, and Salvador Perez. In order to be a winner in 2013 and beyond, we need to constantly be evaluating the team's on-base stats, and we need to consistently have an above-average overall team OBP (at least .330). You see that teams like the Rangers, the Tigers, the Yankees, the Cardinals, the Red Sox, and the Braves (All fairly consistent winners) have high team OBP numbers. If we want to be a team like those teams, we need to focus on getting on base.
If you dig a little further (And trust me, you don't need to dig much further to see this glaring issue), you will see that we have practically no starting pitching. We are 11th out of 14 AL teams in ERA, and if you look deeper into the stats, you will see that we do not have a single starter with an ERA+ over 100 (Which basically means we do not have a single starter who is even average). We can safely assume that Felipe Paulino and Danny Duffy (our only two starters who can be expected to have ERA+ numbers over 100) are going to be gone for at least most of the season. We can also assume that Jake Odorizzi will not immediately contribute to our starting pitching woes. The bullpen is playoff-caliber, but we need a complete overhaul to the starting rotation.
To recap, here is what the Royals need to contend next year and beyond:
1: An above average team OBP.
2: five pitchers each with an ERA+ over 90.
3: To make some shrewd moves on the market during the offseason to acquire these luxuries.
During the offseason, the Royals will have a payroll of roughly $50 Million and a budget of roughly $20 Million without any additions or subtractions.
If you take Hochevar and Chen's salary out of the equation, we would have a salary of roughly $30 million this offseason. If you take even 1/4th of Jeff Francoeur's salary out of the equation, we would have a budget of $33 Million.
With that money (Even if we don't dump Francoeur) and our resources in the minors, we should have more than enough to acquire 3 starting pitchers who are at least decent, and a right handed bat at second base with a decent OBP (Jeff Keppinger is an example, or we could just call up Johnny Giavotella) to platoon at second with Chris Getz.
There are plenty of options on the starting pitching market this offseason. From top free agent targets such as Zack Grienke, Anibal Sanchez, Edwin Jackson, Shaun Marcum, and (potentially) Jake Peavy, to potential trade targets such as James Shields, Josh Beckett, Josh Johnson, and Jason Vargas, the market is the deepest it has been in years. The Royals should have no trouble finding at least a few legitimate starting pitching options.
There will be a lot more speculation as to what the Royals do this offseason, but I thought I would give you a primer for what to expect from now until Opening Day next year.

Today is the first entry in a video series I'll be doing to respond to some of your frequently asked questions. When I solicited questions last week, this one from Morgan was the most popular, so I thought we'd start there.
Morgan: Did you and Dan ever have a formal conversation about "mutuality" and equal partnership or did it just come naturally? I am getting married in July and my fiance and I both grew up under a heavily complementarian model for marriage. We started dating freshman year of college and 5 years later will be marrying with a much more evolved view of marriage and scripture than we had when we started dating. We talk about marital roles occasionally and we agree that our gender is not the dtermining factor in who "leads" and who "helps." His perspective, however, is more conservative and my perspective is more liberal. What advice would you give for couples who are dating, engaged, or even already married for discussing mutuality/gender roles in marriage?
Here's my response:
As a side note, we will be discussing those "submission" passages in much more depth in the weeks to come with a four-part series on the topic. In the meantime, if you are interested in learning more about mutuality in marriage and in church leadership, check out these posts from our Mutuality 2012 series:
Week of Mutuality: How it will work, definition of terms
Let's start at the beginning, shall we? (Genesis 1-3)
4 Common Misconceptions About Egalitarianism
Submission in Context: Christ and the Greco-Roman Household Codes
Dan on roles, leadership, and supporting your partner (Dan Evans)
Who's Who Among Biblical Women Leaders
For the Sake of the Gospel, Let Women Speak (1 Timothy 2:11-15)
Ask an Egalitarian...(Mimi Haddad)
Is patriarchy really God's dream for the world?
When Men and Women Ministered Together as Equals (Ed Cyzewski)
Women of Valor: It's About Character, Not Roles (Proverbs 31, Ruth)
So, what advice would you give Morgan and her fiance?

LOUISVILLE (WAVE) - The Kentucky State Crime Victims Compensation Board is designed to financially help victims of violent crimes in the Commonwealth. But it seems that victims of certain crimes, such as hit and run accidents, are falling through the cracks.
Dennis Pastor and Maria Webster Benham are both victims of violent hit and run accidents, and both suffered life-threatening injuries when drivers hit them and drove off. But due to the way the law is written, they can't get help from the very organization that was formed to help victims of violent crimes.
"He took his vehicle and he turned it into a deadly weapon," Maria said, as she recalled being hit while driving her motorcycle along Highway 1238 in Mead County on her way to Louisville in October of 2008. She was sideswiped by a pick-up truck pulling a trailer.
The driver never stopped.
"He was in my lane," Maria recalled. "Later on I learned he was about three-quarters of the way into my lane when he hit me. The trailer itself hit me twice. It hit me in the upper leg, severing my femoral artery and also hit me in the lower leg."
As a result, Maria lost her left leg above her knee. And nearly lost her life.
"I did die - on the road. I lost 11 units of blood, so that would have made it automatically manslaughter right then and there," Maria said. "In the operating room, I died twice more."
Dennis' nightmare began on a Sunday in early April of 2006. He was crossing a section of Bardstown Road near Baxter Avenue after returning movies to a movie rental store. He says he looked both ways to make sure traffic was clear and began to walk across the street to his car. That's the last thing Dennis remembers.
"At the point of impact, the vehicle threw me 98 feet, which meant the vehicle had to be traveling at a pretty good clip down Bardstown Road, faster than the posted speed limit."
Dennis is lucky to be alive. He spent almost two months in the hospital, but he'll never see a full recovery or be able to return to his former job as a security officer for the Seelbach Hotel.
"It's changed my life forever," Everything that I used to do normally I can't do. I had to learn how to walk all over again."
Police never found the car that hit Dennis or the truck that crashed into Maria. Now both are burdened by the costs of their medical care. They applied for financial assistance through Kentucky's Crime Victims Compensation Board. A board that was established in 1976 by the General Assembly to help compensate victims of injurious crimes.
Dennis says his claim was denied because "they consider it a traffic accident and not a criminal act."
Maria was also denied for the very same reason.
In July of 2008, Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear signed a new bill into law making it a felony to leave the scene of a hit and run accident, so it would appear that Dennis and Maria would fall within the coverage of the Crime Victims Compensation Board. But according to board director Virginia Woodward, that isn't the case.
"When the evidence from law enforcement doesn't corroborate that it was intentional or there was alcohol involved it does not fall within our statutes and therefore is denied," Woodward said.
And in both instances, the suspects were never apprehended and police were never able to definitively determine that either cause was involved.
"I think it's unfortunate what has happened to them," Woodward said. "I believe that if they can get a coalition of people together and go to a legislator and get it done we obviously will carry out the law."
Kentucky is only one of a handful of states where the law stops just short of considering victims of hit and run injuries eligible for monetary help from the state's Crime Victims Compensation Board.
For Dennis and Maria and other victims, until a state lawmaker steps up and agrees to carry the torch of their cause to the state capitol in order to change the law, they'll continue to fall through the cracks of what they consider to be a broken system.

Free weekend programs February 2 through March 10, 2013
BASKING RIDGE, NJ – Continuing a tradition in the Northeast United States that was begun centuries ago by Native Americans and colonists, the Somerset County Park Commission invites children and adults to a 90-minute program to witness how Maple trees are tapped, learn about sap collecting methods from the past and present, and experience the boiling process that produces delicious New Jersey Maple Syrup.
Free public programs take place at the Environmental Education Center Sugar Shack at 190 Lord Stirling Road in Basking Ridge, New Jersey on Saturdays and Sundays, February 2 & 3; February 9 & 10; February 16 & 17; February 23 & 24; March 2 & 3; and March 9 & 10.
Saturday Maple Sugar program times are at 10:00 AM, 12:00 Noon, and 2:00 PM. Sunday maple sugar program times are at 12:00 Noon, and 2:00 PM. Participants should allow at least twenty minutes to walk from the Center to the sugar shack. Organized groups, such as Scouts, may schedule demonstrations during one of the time blocks by contacting the EEC at 908-766-2489, ext. 332.
The "Sugar Shack," run by the Somerset County Park Commission Naturalists, is a one-half mile walk through the forest from the Environmental Education Center building. Along the way, visitors will witness the Great Swamp in a setting that summer visitors never see. Trails are well marked and easy to follow. The site is accessible to mobility- impaired individuals with forty-eight hours notice providing that weather and ground conditions permit.
Naturalist Rich Hoffman, coordinator of the program stated, "The program provides background on the manufacture of maple syrup, its history, technology, and food production in addition to education the natural environment. But, what I like most about the program is that it is fun to be in the winter woods, smelling the sweetness coming from the sugar house and being near the warmth of the fire."
Information and trail conditions may be obtained by calling 908-766-2489. Individuals with hearing impairments may call NJ Relay at 711.
Information on this event and other Somerset County Park Commission activities may be found on the Internet at www.somersetcountyparks.org

Google Releases Voice Web App for iPhone, Bypasses Apple
January 27, 2010 by Rob
Filed under App News, News, Tips and How-To's
If you were watching last summer, Apple denied Google's own Voice app to the iTunes App Store and subsequently removed all other Voice related apps as well. It created quite a controversy in the app world and many blogs were reporting on it. Well, Google decided to side-step the entire app approval process and release a web app for Safari on the iPhone. No Apple approval process to get in the way either. Just point your browser to http://m.google.com/voice and you're done. You can even add a home page icon to your device (touch the + button).
As a Google Voice user I am still hopeful for a proper Voice app. However, since it's been several months and there's still nothing, not even a word of a possible approval for such an app, my hope is fading. This is especially the case now that Google has release a web app.

The Happy Goblin Brewery is located in Mt Kuringai in Sydney's north. The Brewery has been licensed since November 2006 and is currently producing a small range of hand-crafted ales, available in 18L kegs, as well as a limited number of bottles.
The Brewery is owned and operated by Colin Larter, a Chemistry Graduate and home-brewer whose system out-grew the garage, and so was moved into a warehouse. Over the course of 2006 the Brewery was relocated, streamlined, beefed-up a little, and with the addition of the two coolrooms became the Happy Goblin Brewery.
