Compassionate Conservatism: The Libertarian Jesus
Compassionate conservatism began with some questions: Is it possible to apply conservative and free-market ideas — school vouchers, the promotion of community and faith-based institutions, the encouragement of wealth-building and social mobility ?— to the task of helping marginalized Americans?

Annie’s Mailbox: Needs help combatting bulemia
Dear Annie: I have been bulimic for over four years and it is making me miserable. I hate myself every time I give in to it. I am constantly tired and every day is a struggle.

Canyon Notes: Madera CanyonNational Forests cover nearly 200 million acres of land in the U.S. About 11 million acres are in Arizona. Only six states, Alaska, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Oregon, have more. Almost all of this land is open to the public free of charge. Some areas though, require fees or permits to help maintain and improve the amenities that we enjoy. Madera Canyon is one of those areas. Our fees pay for the provision and maintenance of parking areas, trails, picnic areas, potable water, restrooms and other facilities.
