In late September of 2024, Hurricane Helene struck, reaching Category 4 intensity in the Big Bend region of Florida and making landfall as a Category 4 storm. As it moved inland, Helene weakened to a post-tropical cyclone over Tennessee. One of the hardest hit areas was Pigeon River, stretching across North Carolina and East Tennessee. The welcome news is that the region is coming back better than ever with a variety of activities centered around its natural beauty and recreational opportunities. Our guests, Stephen Foy and Lacy Bramlett, are partners in a coalition of the willing for the restoration and development of a national treasure.

Just a few years ago, St. Louis felt like a bagel wasteland as boiled bread enthusiasts mourned the loss of the beloved Bagel Factory, and with it their access to respectable versions of the form.

(The Center Square) – The cost to bring home a pair of stranded astronauts that have spent most of a year in space aboard the International Space Station could be as much as $150 million. Astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, along with Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, boarded a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and splashed down in the Gulf of America near the Big Bend region of Florida late Tuesday afternoon. Williams and Wilmore arrived on the Space Station on June 6 and had spent 286 days in space, stranded because of issues with the Boeing Dreamliner spacecraft, which later returned without them in September.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_c0d9606e-04c8-11f0-9fa1-cba34c98f87b.html

Presented by Adrian N. Billings, MD, PhD; Texas Tech UniversitySTFM Conference on Medical Student Education 2025 Scott Fields Lecture | Sunday, February 2 2025In the evolving landscape of American health care, the call to practice and serve in rural communities offers a profound and transformative opportunity for clinicians. This presentation delves into the powerful concept of accompaniment—an approach where physicians not only deliver care but also actively engage with and support their patients and communities. For medical students aspiring to a career marked by meaningful impact, the rural setting offers a unique and inspiring canvas. Rural areas often face significant health care disparities, including limited access to medical resources and specialized care. This context demands a new kind of medical professional — one who is not only skilled in clinical practice but also deeply committed to community engagement and advocacy. The role of accompaniment involves more than just treating illness; it requires a holistic approach to patient care, emphasizing empathy, education, and empowerment.Through accompaniment, physicians forge strong relationships with patients, understanding their unique challenges and needs. This model of care fosters trust and collaboration, leading to more effective and personalized treatment strategies. Additionally, it empowers healthcare professionals to become advocates for systemic changes that address the root causes of health inequities. Embracing a career in rural medicine through the lens of accompaniment offers a pathway to profound professional fulfillment and societal impact. Accompaniment aligns medical practice with the broader goals of social justice and health equity. For aspiring physicians, this approach not only enhances our clinical skills but also instills a deep sense of purpose and connection to the communities we serve. A call to service through accompaniment emerges as a beacon of hope and inspiration, guiding future medical leaders toward a more compassionate and equitable future.Learning ObjectivesUpon completion of this session, participants should be able to:Describe causes and consequences of rural health disparities.Justify the practice of medicine outside the walls of a health care facility to combat social determinants of health.Value the concept of accompaniment as it relates to a career of service in medicine.Copyright © Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, 2025Adrian N.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Jared “Snackbox” Champion. Snackbox is s a hiker, father, and Youtuber who, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Colorado Trail, hiked it almost exclusively with 50 year old gear.  We talk about the process of sourcing this gear, the hardest items to acquire, the least backpacker-friendly items of the bunch, which gear hasn't advanced as much, and how his appreciation for gear has changed in light of this experience. Jared also shares the story of bonding with his now-wife over their shared love of the Colorado Trail, life as a professor, managing ADHD on trail, and much more.  We wrap the show with a last call for Trek Vlogger applications, Chaunce and I share our take on cowboy (and cowgirl) camping, how thin a pancake can be before it's a crepe, and the triple crown of things we've changed our minds on.

In this solo episode of the Free Outside Podcast, I'm sharing all about my recent trip to Big Bend National Park—a week packed with hiking, backpacking, and adventure. From spotting javelinas to scrambling up Emory Peak at sunset, I dive into how this trip fits into my training for FKTs and ultra races like the Cocodona 250 and Big Horn 100. patreon.com/freeoutside I also break down my plans for 2025, including a self-supported southbound Appalachian Trail FKT attempt and exciting interviews I've lined up with top athletes, calendar year Triple Crowners, and more. Along the way, I talk gear tips, training insights, and even some funny moments about ghost towns, dehydrated meals, and my love for rocks.

A longish story about why I did not volunteer on Sunday at the Bandera trail race, plus some history. Also, why I won't be running Big Bend this weekend. But the real story involves a terrific indoor rowing event at my favorite workout spot, overcoming mental obstacles and treating it like an ultra. Oh, and I threw in a couple of journalism references, explained, along with a nod to my Documentary Film History class and the new Bob Dylan biopic.

Day 1:We drove from Wichita Falls to Monahans Sandhills State Park. We spent about 2 hours in the park hiking and sledding down sandhills. This park is very small, and you can rent sleds at the Visitor Center for $6 per sled per day.They do have camping at this park, but we chose to continue on to Balmorhea State Park. The campgrounds there have been recently renovated, and the facility was amazing. We got there right before dark and took a quick dip in the pool— we had the place all to ourselves! The water stays around 74-76 degrees year-round, so it wasn't too cold. Be sure to bring towels because, as soon as we got out, it was quite nippy! The park was at full capacity, so plan ahead and book your site before you get there.Day 2:We woke up early and headed out to spend time in Marfa before driving into Terlingua. We drove through Fort Davis before getting to Marfa, and we could have easily spent more time there. The Davis Mountains are beautiful, and we plan to make a return trip!We took our sweet time, with no agenda except checking into our rental. It was a barn with three rooms that we rented out. We met my parents, two siblings, their spouses, and kids there. They each got a room, while I slept in the van with one of the girls. The other two girls slept on the couches in the common room to have more space.We were able to hike around the property, visit the ghost town, and check out some of the old mine spots. We also enjoyed looking at all the amazing rocks, ocotillo, and cactus.Day 3:We decided to wake up early (ish) and get a good breakfast in our bellies before heading into the park. We went to the Chisos Basin portion of Big Bend National Park to hike the Window Trail. It's about an hour and a half from Terlingua to this part of the park. This trail is a great option for families with small children and adults. There were 7 adults and 9 kids in our group. The 2-year-olds were in backpack carriers, and the others, aged 4 and up, hiked themselves. The trail is about 4.5 miles in total, and it took us around 2 hours to complete. We didn't rush and took our time, letting the kids climb on rocks along the way. It definitely could be done faster, but we enjoyed a leisurely pace.After finishing the hike, we all ate lunch and then headed to the Hot Springs, which is about a 45-minute drive (give or take). The last mile or two before you can park is very narrow, and parking is limited, but we got lucky and found spots for all three of our vehicles. The Hot Springs Trail is short and easy. I highly recommend visiting this spot when you're in Big Bend! The hot springs water stays around 105°F, and it's a small pool area where you can sit and soak. The Rio Grande runs right next to the hot spring, so it was fun to warm up in the spring and then dip into the chilly river! We spent about an hour there before driving back to Terlingua, which took about an hour. We arrived back at our home away from home around 4:30 PM.We had planned our meals ahead of time, and all but one were crockpot meals, which worked perfectly since we had a hot meal waiting for us after a long day of hiking.Day 4:We decided to hike the Mule Ears Spring Trail, a short, 2-mile trail that's an easier hike. This trail is in full sun, not in the Chisos with trees, so make sure to wear long sleeves, bring a hat, and apply sunscreen! At the end (or halfway through) this trail, there is a tiny spring of water flowing out of the rocks, surrounded by green ferns. It was beautiful and very surprising, considering the entire hike is through desert cacti and rocks. I highly recommend it!A few kids were on "breakdown mode" for part of the trail, so it took a bit longer, but we weren't in a rush. Next, we drove to Santa Elena Canyon, which is an iconic and breathtaking location in the park. The canyon is so grand and beautiful that it's hard to describe its beauty. The trail is easy, and most of our group completed it. While we were there, we also saw a pack of wild horses grazing near the river, which was pretty cool!Afterward, we took the highway out of the park to return to Terlingua, but you can also take a “shortcut” down Old Maverick Road, an 11-mile stretch of bumpy dirt roads. Two of the three cars in our group took the dirt road, while my parents, kids, and I drove the longer but smoother highway. We all arrived back at our place within 5-10 minutes of each other, so it wasn't much of a difference!Day 5:Everyone was ready for a more relaxed day since it was our last full day in West Texas. We decided to visit Big Bend Ranch State Park to hike the Closed Canyon Trail. The road from Terlingua the state park is a scenic, beautiful highway that runs alongside the Rio Grande. The Closed Canyon Trail is short, easy, and stunning! You do need to stop at the visitor center to get your permit before entering the park.We had lunch at the end of the trail in a shady spot before heading back to the house. In the afternoon, half of our group went on another adventure near our property, while the other half went shopping and grabbed a margarita at the Star Light Theatre. We never ate at the Star Light, but here's a tip: get there early if you want a spot! The line starts forming at 3 PM, and the restaurant opens at 5 PM. The Cantina opens at 4 PM. We tried the frozen prickly pear margaritas, and they were delicious!We let the kids explore the store, and each of them picked out a souvenir. Then we walked to the Terlingua Cemetery, which turned out to be a very special experience. The kids loved reading the tombstones, and if a grave didn't have one, they would talk about who it could be and what might have happened to them. It was unexpected but really beautiful to see the empathy and compassion the kids showed for the people there.I highly recommend getting a map of the Terlingua Ghost Town and exploring the old buildings, school, and church to learn more about this small mining town.Final Thoughts:West Texas is vast and wide open, with many miles between towns and not much that's convenient, so you'll need to plan ahead. Fuel up whenever you can, especially in Alpine or Marathon, depending on which side of Big Bend you're entering from. You'll also want to plan your meals and pack food well. We cooked every breakfast and dinner and brought snacks and sandwiches for lunch while hiking.Also, bring plenty of water!I'm sure I left a lot out of this summary of our Far West Texas trip, but the main takeaway is that it's beautiful. It's one of the most majestic areas I've been to. I love the lack of cell service and the bright, starry skies—so amazing to see! The area has very little light pollution, so be sure to plan to stargaze while you're there. I would love to know if you've been or if you plan to go way out west. I've designed a new collection around this trip and it will launch late January to early February. Chat soon!

Host Dave Fiore speaks with Katrina Rolle, president and CEO of the Community Foundation of North Florida. From her days as a varsity cheerleader and student government president at Miami Carol City High School to continuing her family legacy at Tuskegee University and working her way through the University of Florida Law School, even though it was against the rules, Katrina has always found a way to get things done. She dreamed of owning a business at age 14 while working at Burger King and gained valuable experience as a cost accountant with Honeywell and as a supervisor with Florida Power and Light. But it was her 11 years staying at home with her children and volunteering in the community that led to offers to be CEO of The United Way of the Big Bend and most recently the Community Foundation. Katrina, and her husband, Dr. Gary Rolle, were reluctant transfers to Tallahassee, but are now grateful to have invested their lives in the community where they raised their children and are proud to call home.

As the calendar runs down on the current session of Congress, there are a number of pieces of legislation that would involve or possibly impact the National Park System if they find their way into an omnibus lands bill that gains passage before the session adjourns.   While we haven't seen exactly what might find their way into an omnibus lands bill, among the candidates are legislation that would turn Chiricahua National Monument into a national park, one that would create a “designated operating partner” to oversee the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, and another that calls for a Benton MacKaye National Scenic Trail feasibility study.   There's also pending legislation that would approve expansion of Big Bend National Park by about 6000 acres, one that would transform Apostle Islands National Lakeshore into Apostle Islands National Park and Preserve,  and one that, if passed, would forbid any official wilderness designation to be bestowed on Big Cpress National Preserve.   We're going to take a look at the Big Bend, Apostle Islands, and Big Cypress measures today with Bob Krumenaker, who, during his 40+ years with the National Park Service, was superintendent of both Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and Big Bend National Park and served a stint as acting superintendent of Everglades National Park, which adjoins Big Cypress National Preserve.

Deidra comes back from the amazing mountains of Big Bend and we talk about her adventure as well as come up with some best practices dealing with plantar fasciitis, something that many runners deal with. We are early in the training cycle so taking time to get right early is the goal with slow ramp up in mileage, strength and mobility, and being present along the way. Enjoy!

With the arrival of the Colonel and her band of New Enclave survivors, the remaining factions of Appalachia have regrouped at Vault Town. Facing nearly impossible odds, they'll have to pool their resources if they stand any chance at all against what's coming. Amidst the chaos, Stein and Sofia find their moment of happiness…for whatever time they have…a light against the darkness. Trader Red still has a few loose ends to tie up at Big Bend and soon finds that Appalachia isn't quite done with her yet. While inside the PACT, the Council has a confrontation of its own…where the past and future are on a collision course. Despite the rising threat, not everyone sees Valeria as a shining beacon of hope…and a single act could change everything.

Hello everyone and welcome to episode #76 of the Still Spinning Podcast.   Dan kicks us off with a rant about "today's" music and how much he hates it. While Nicole can relate, it does make us all wonder if everyone of a certain age has the same reaction to these kinds of things. Nicole gives a brief recap on her trip to New Orleans which includes not one but TWO stories about inappropriate touching. Dan is just happy she made it home safe, even though she did not go to the ONE place in the city he asked her to go to (it has to do with Elvis).   There is a new movie coming out based on the Broadway hit Wicked, and there is merchandise galore. But Mattel is in some trouble for not fact-checking the movie's website address and instead releasing a line of dolls with a website to a porn production company's site. You can only imagine the uproar! That box has been recalled but is sure to be a collector's item.   They are proposing a new building in Manhattan and there are some ISSUES. The building is called Big Bend and you have to see it to believe it. Dan has a first thought about the building that honestly could get him in a lot of trouble. Nicole, along with folks in the chat, thinks it looks like the most terrifying building EVER and would never even think to enter it.   And last, in 2024 there are some jobs that are obsolete. Some you would expect, some Nicole and Dan had not really thought about. But they discuss them all!   Thanks so much for joining us.

Welcome to Episode #160 of Way of the Bible podcast. This is our eighth of eight episodes in our Twentieth mini-series entitled, Sermon on the Mount. On today's episode we'll be taking a walk on the beach with DrZ, hey that's me, sorry, couldn't help that it was just there. As I was saying, we'll be taking a walk on the beach to overview and comment on what we've learned on this mini-series.So glad so many of you were able to join us today given the reality of two hurricanes impacting the Gulf shores of Florida. First was Hurricane Helene which roared onshore n the Big Bend area of FL last week as a Cat 4 hurricane before quickly crossing into Georgia, South Carolina, Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee leaving in its wake catastrophic devastation. And a week later, Milton making landfall as a Cat 3 hurricane on Siesta Key near Sarasota, Fl before slicing a path across Florida and heading out over the Atlantic Ocean. The beaches along the emerald coast along Highway 30-A between Destin and Panama City were spared this round. But all those who have been around for forty or more hurricane seasons sense and are fairly resigned to the reality that it is only a matter of time before a storm comes knocking on your door.  But enough of that for now, while the coast to our east and south have been ravaged by wind and waves, the Gulf waters out back are almost perfect. Still a little warmer than normal as are our daily temperatures. While we won't break a sweat this morning, you can still get sun burned pretty quick, so hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses suggested.I'll meet you out back in five minutes. Make sure to top off your coffee or get one of many other options available at the bar area. Speaking of bars, we've got the Rooftop bar of Bud and Alley's reserved for a private mid-morning brunch. They're expecting us within the hour so let's hop to it. See you out back.I see we are all here. We'll head toward the water and the lightly breaking surf and take a left, heading East into the early morning sun. As we head that way I'll remind you we've not yet finished overviewing Chapter 5 of Matthew. The first of three chapters (5 to 7) that are referred to as the Sermon on the Mount. We still have at least two and likely three more mini-series before we complete the Sermon on the Mount. That means at least two or three walks on the beach after this one. Perhaps for one of those walks we can take a road trip over to the Big Bend area to lend a hand with recovery and do the same on another walk on Siesta Key. Participation is not mandatory, but if you have the inkling to go and would like to help let me know as there is a lot of preparation and staging to be done to make our trips beneficial and not an inconvenience for those most in need of assistance in these areas.We are not at the water's edge and ready to make our turn to the East. As you go through the text of Matthew, you get the sense Jesus made a similar turn at his baptism by John the Baptist. His turn was from a life in Nazareth which we know little about to a focused three-year life of ministry teaching, calling and training disciples. During this time, he taught with authority, was a miracle healing extravaganza, and demonstrated with signs and wonders power over the created order that testified to his being the Son of God, the Son of Man.Shortly after his ministry life began he called his first disciples and laid out for them the foundational teaching upon which all his subsequent teaching rested. We call this teaching the Sermon on the Mount. You will discover as you dig into the epistles, the apostles were writing the boots on the ground versions of the principals Jesus was teaching his disciples. These principals deal with living in the kingdom of heaven. Something all believers are doing even today, though not all believers know it.Let's do a quick recap of where we've been so far in t

On Thursday, Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida's Gulf Coast as a Category 4 hurricane before moving inland and hitting the southeastern United States. The hurricane was the third to hit the Big Bend region in Florida in 13 months and broke storm surge records across the Gulf Coast. At least 130 deaths in six states have been attributed to the storm, and the death toll continues to climb. On Monday afternoon, two million homes and businesses were still without power, and floods continued to devastate counties from Florida to Virginia.You can read today's podcast⁠ ⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠, our “Under the Radar” story ⁠here and today's “Have a nice day” story ⁠here⁠.Check out Episode 6 of our podcast series, The Undecideds.

The devastating toll from Hurricane Helene keeps growing. At least 121 people have died in six states and officials fear that number could grow much larger. Many remain missing and unaccounted for since phone lines and cell towers have been down for days. Some places in Florida are trying to recover from their third big hit in less than two years.

It's Thursday, September 26th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Russian soldiers destroyed 630 Ukrainian churches A report from Mission Eurasia and the Institute for Religious Freedom of Ukraine documents the destruction of churches in Ukraine since Russia invaded the country in 2022. The report found the war has destroyed at least 630 places of worship as of the end of last year. Over 200 of those were Evangelical properties. Russian attacks were responsible for most of the destruction. Russian soldiers also raided and shut down church services. The government claims that minority groups, like Evangelicals, can fall under the category of extremist activities. Ukrainian Pastor Sergey Nakul of Kyiv's Grace Reform Church has a simple and courageous message for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Listen. NAKUL: “Vladimir, repent! Repent of all of your evil deeds because you're not God.” Daniel 11:36 says, “The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place.” Russian to ban adoptions for people from transgender-affirming countries Speaking of Russia, the country is considering a ban on adoptions to countries that support transgenderism. Russia's lower parliament overwhelming supported the ban yesterday.  The measure applies to countries that allow so-called sex-change surgeries or for people to change their sex on official documents. Lawmakers said they want to preserve Russia's “traditional values.” They also want to protect Russian children from being adopted into western NATO countries where transgenderism is accepted.  8,000 Germans march for life Last Saturday, nearly 8,000 people gathered in German cities to support life. The National Association for the Right to Live organized the event. Germany currently allows abortion up to 12 weeks of pregnancy, and the government's leftist coalition is pushing to relax abortion laws. Alexandra Linder, the President of Right to Live, said, “People have a sense of injustice. That's why they keep a very close eye on how politicians deal with people in threatening situations at the beginning and end of life. And they have shown what they expect from politicians with two large, life-affirming demonstrations.” Hurricane Helene hits Florida tonight In the United States, Floridians are bracing for Hurricane Helene to roar ashore today in  Florida's Gulf Coast, likely in the Big Bend region, as a Category 3 storm, reports AccuWeather. Hurricane Helene is still amassing strength over the Gulf of Mexico, and is moving northeast toward Florida with maximum sustained winds of 85 miles per hour, according to the National Hurricane Center.  Court: Biden Administration must pay $200,000 settlement in religious liberty case The Biden administration agreed to a $210,000 settlement in a religious freedom case. With the help of Alliance Defending Freedom, the Christian Employers Alliance sued the administration for violating their religious beliefs. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission wanted to force religious employers to provide health insurance coverage for transgender surgeries, procedures, and counseling. After the favorable court ruling, Shannon Royce, President of the Christian Employers Alliance said, “We are overjoyed our members will not have to choose between the Biblically-based employee benefits and quality healthcare they provide, and the threat of federal enforcement and massive costs for practicing their faith.”  Utah, Tennessee, Idaho and South Carolina ban indecent books  The Utah State Board of Education released its first list of banned books last month.  The state's Republican Governor Spencer Cox signed a bill back in March requiring public schools to remove a book if enough school districts found it contained indecent material. PARENT: “The parents of this nation have been awakened to what is going on in the public school system, and we're not backing down.” Tennessee, Idaho, and South Carolina have made similar moves to ban indecent material from public schools.  In Luke 17:1-2, Jesus said, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” GenZ less likely to read the Bible The American Bible Society released the latest chapter of its State of the Bible USA 2024 report about Gen Z. The group includes people aged 18 to 27. Members of Gen Z are less likely than older generations to interact regularly with the Bible. They are also more likely to struggle with fear and anxiety. However, Gen Zers who engage with Scripture do better. Only 11% of Gen Z is Scripture engaged, but those who are have much lower levels of anxiety even compared to older generations.  1 Peter 5:6-7 says, “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.”  Bill of Rights anniversary And finally, this week is the anniversary of the U.S. Bill of Rights. Congress approved articles of amendment to the U.S. Constitution on September 25, 1789. After approval by the states, the articles would become the first ten amendments to the Constitution. The First Amendment famously protects freedom of religion and freedom of speech. The Second Amendment protects the individual right to keep and bear arms. The amendments drew from English law to protect the rights of citizens and limit the power of government.
