  • "Throughout the course of my treatment I must allow the doctors to biopsy my bone marrow to eliminate the possibility of relapse. A heavy-gauge needle is plunged into the rear of my hip so that both a sample of the liquid marrow and the solid bone can be extracted.

  • "At an agonizingly slow pace I have been progressing towards a new, relatively normal life. One of the most excruciating parts of this process had been my inability to be in water, on water, or even near water. Finally, after having waited all summer for my immune system to recuperate, I returned to the shore where I had spent many a childhood vacation. Once I saw the water, I could not turn back. I had to let it touch my toes--if my toes, why not my legs. I settled for a risky dip up to my knees. As a child, I would have settled for nothing less than 8 hours under water. Indeed, a return to a relatively normal life." - Karin Weidenhammer

She had come down with a sinus infection that persisted. Though we both assumed it was nothing, Karin--a medical assistant at the time--had her blood drawn and sent to the lab as a precaution. The results that sat in the fax machine the next morning were ominous:<br />
<br />
Elevated WBC with 92 percent blasts consistent with Acute Leukemia.<br />

  • "I remember feeling very strange and very out of place when I visited the cafeteria. The doctors had convinced me that other humans were dirty, that the world was a very dirty place, and that I was taking a chance by even being within what to others was an average, ordinary place. But I went because I needed to slowly separate myself from the safety of my bubble, my room." - Karin Weidenhammer

  • The cryptoporticus of Arles was built during the first century BC as a foundation for the forum at the center of the Roman town. The forum has been replaced by two modern buildings: the Chapel of the Jesuit College and the City Hall. The cryptoporticus consists of three parallel tunnels arranged in a 'U' shape, which are supported by fifty pillars. Stonemasons' marks at the site suggest it was probably the work of Greeks living in Marseille at the time.<br />
<br />
Arles was first inhabited in the seventh century BC as a Phoenician trading center on the Rhone River, and shows signs of Greek influence owing to archaeological evidence and pottery of Greek design. Arles later became a Celtic-Ligurian town in the third century BC and, then in the first century BC, a Gallo-Roman city.<br />
<br />
The Roman-era arena similar to Rome's Coliseum is so well preserved that it is still the major arena of the city and is used for bullfighting and other traditional festivals.

  • Bill Fales, owner of Cold Mountain Ranch in Carbondale, Colorado, has been ranching his sliver of land in the Roaring Fork Valley since 1973. <br />
<br />
Development, oil and gas extraction, and mechanized recreation all threaten the valley--and his livelihood. Not surprisingly, Fales is a proponent of conservation, having placed his property in a land trust in perpetuity. He is also in favor of the expansion of wilderness designation within his and adjoining counties. <br />
<br />
Ranching in Colorado would, arguably, not exist without the use of public lands. Fales' ranch is no different. In order to give his animals the space they need in the summer--and the pasture grasses on his ranch property the time they need to grow high in order to feed his cattle come winter--he must graze on public land. That means securing grazing permits on BLM and U.S. Forest Service land. But it does not preclude the use of wilderness lands either.<br />
<br />
Unknown to much of the public, wilderness areas can serve as grazing lands under the Wilderness Act of 1964. In fact, Fales grazes on Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness area; another permit area is being considered for wilderness designation. His permit would remain if the new designation came to fruition, being "grandfathered" in by that original Wilderness Act.

<br />
The marsh, part of the Matagorda Bay estuarine habitat, on the Texas Gulf Coast, lies at the terminus of the Central Flyway, one of four principal North American migratory bird routes. Nearly 250 species of birds--including migrating and resident songbirds, shorebirds, colonial nesting birds, and wading birds--use the area for feeding, resting and roosting. Yet, the preserve's upland prairies represent a part of the remaining 2 percent of the original tallgrass coastal prairies once found across Texas.

<br />
The Sainte-Chapelle, the palatine chapel in the courtyard of the royal palace on the Île de la Cité, was built to house precious relics: Christ's crown of thorns, the Image of Edessa and thirty other relics of Christ that had been in the possession of Louis IX since August 1239, when it arrived from Venice in the hands of two Dominican friars. Unlike many devout aristocrats who stole relics, the saintly Louis bought his precious relics of the Passion, purchased from the Latin emperor at Constantinople, Baldwin II, for the exorbitant sum of 135,000 livres, which was paid to the Venetians, to whom it had been pawned.

  • With its elegant profile and striking coloration, the American Avocet (Recurvirostra americana) is unique among North American birds. In summer it can be found in temporary and unpredictable wetlands across western North America where it swings its long upturned bill through the shallow water to catch small invertebrates. <br />

The Pawnee National Grasslands of northeastern Colorado provide such a temporary wetland habitat, especially during late spring.

  • This unnamed canyon is a tributary of Utah's White Canyon, which makes a gorgeous, serpentine cut through Cedar Mesa, near Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. But it remains unprotected.<br />
<br />
It lies at the heart of the proposed Glen Canyon Wilderness, where the vast expanse of Paleozoic-era sandstone known as Nokai Dome eases its way to the upper reaches of Lake Powell in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.  This region also includes the soaring Wingate Cliffs of the Red Rock Plateau, Mancos Mesa, Moqui Canyon with its meandering stream, Red Canyon, and the serpentine side canyons of White Canyon. This is one of the most remote regions of the state, but it lacks protection and is threatened by increasing ORV use.<br />
<br />
It is all part of the San Juan-Canyonlands region of Southeastern Utah, one of the most iconic landscapes recommended for protection in America's Red Rock Wilderness Act, boasting dramatic geologic features wrought by elemental forces, as well as internationally significant cultural sites of the Ancestral Puebloans and the Mormon Pioneers. Adorned with buttes and arches, vast stretches of slickrock deposited over 250 million years ago, ancient pinyon-juniper forests and an artist's pallet of red-hued sandstone, the San Juan-Canyonlands region has inspired explorers since the days of John Wesley Powell, and its wonders represent some of the greatest unprotected wilderness in the country.

  • During mating season, confrontation is inevitable for the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). A once-abundant bird emblematic of the wide open spaces of the West, it is now gone from nearly half of its original range, with steady declines occurring in Colorado and neighboring states. It is the largest grouse in North America. Recent studies have confirmed that oil and gas drilling activities, which have increased dramatically across the Intermountain West in the past decade, are disturbing sage-grouse breeding and nesting sites and leading to population declines in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and other Western states. In addition to drilling in the area, threats also include destruction of sagebrush habitat due to sprawl, agricultural conversion, and wildfire. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimated that sage-grouse populations have declined between 69 and 99 percent from historic levels.
