Artists Supporting Artists in Aspen

Anita Thompson | June 18, 2013 | Denver
In the 8,000 foot altitude of Aspen Colorado, while the famous Food And Wine Festival took over the town, the local residents continue on with daily life of outdoors, and always the arts.

April 15, 2013 and Beyond

David Willey | June 18, 2013 | Media
Boston is an intensely personal story for us, too. There were more than a dozen Runner's World and Running Times staffers and freelancers near the finish line when the bombs went off. Four editors were running the race.

Ending the War on Drugs: Easier Said Than Done

Ethan Nadelmann | June 18, 2013 | Politics
The magnitude of our victories in Colorado and Washington makes what once appeared impossible -- drug law reforms grounded in science, compassion, health and human rights -- seemingly inevitable.

Wadhams Wants Non-Alienating GOP Candidates, Like Gessler?

Jason Salzman | June 17, 2013 | Denver
If I were host Carlson, I would have asked Wadhams if substantive changes, even itsy bitsy ones, are required by GOP candidates to avoid the alienation trap.

Drowning in Debt to Get a Degree

Randi Weingarten | June 17, 2013 | Politics
Skyrocketing costs have put postsecondary education out of reach for many people, which threatens to exacerbate America's already vast economic divide. Congress must act to ensure that runaway costs don't rob them of their dreams.

A Surprising New Way to Use Salt on the Grill

Steven Raichlen | June 17, 2013 | Taste
Salt. It may be the only food we eat that starts as a rock. Reason enough to check out this book and to try this recipe.

New Report Finds Obama Spends $180K Per Day Undermining State Medical Marijuana Laws

Steph Sherer | June 14, 2013 | Politics
It's not simply a battle of politics and laws that takes place in legislatures and courtrooms. It is a war that is being waged in our neighborhoods on a daily basis, adversely affecting millions of people every year, and costing the U.S. taxpayers hundreds of million dollars.

Never Mind 'Don't Pick Your Nose' -- Boogers May Be Good for You

Dr. Joseph Mercola | June 14, 2013 | Healthy Living
If you catch a child with a finger up his nose, you probably discourage it. But could the "nasty" habit of nose-picking -- and eating it -- be more sanitary and even health-beneficial than we've been taught?

Black Forest Fire

Isabel Song | June 14, 2013 | Teen
I have to admit the entire thing is surreal. It's one thing to be fire hours away from it, but it's a completely different experience wondering if your friends' homes have been one of the unfortunate.

What I Know About Friends Now That I'm 60

Ann Brenoff | June 14, 2013 | Fifty
In fifth grade, my BFF Diane dumped me for some girl named Helen. Diane and I had been inseparable for years and it took me what felt like forever to get over feeling betrayed. I agonized over what I had 'done' to deserve such mistreatment, and spent months eating my lunch alone under 'our' tree on the playground.

The Letter Every Parent Should Write

Brian Klems | June 13, 2013 | Parents
Too many things are left unsaid, like "I love you" or "I appreciate you" or "I admit it, Toy Story 3 made me cry." I've decided to jot down some notes that way if something awful happens to me in the near future, my girls will get at least some sense of who I am, who I strive to be and what I value in life.

Why Dems Accused Sheriffs of Standing with Criminals

Jason Salzman | June 13, 2013 | Denver
This is a serious error, because without the reference to Webster, you'd think Democrats were accusing sheriffs of standing with criminals just because the sheriffs oppose gun-safety laws. This was clearly not the intent of Democrats.

Am I The Only Person Who Thinks The J.C. Penney Rebrand Did Something Right?

Brie Dyas | June 13, 2013 | Style
The rebrand brought in stylish goods at low prices. So, why did so many complain? And why did J.C. Penney actually raise prices after apologizing for the changes?

But What About Alex?

Ariane Zurcher | June 13, 2013 | Healthy Living
As we rally around, trying to distance or identify with the parent, Alex and those like him are all but forgotten. His life is seen as an example of what some must endure. But what about Alex? What about what Alex had to endure?

Amber Stenson | June 13, 2013 | Denver
As Colorado faces another long and dry season with devastating wildfires, water is definitely becoming a top issue. And it should be.

Six Months After Newtown, States Are Taking the Lead

Josh Sugarmann | June 13, 2013 | Politics
The NRA and its "corporate partners" in the gun industry have opposed and blocked even the smallest steps forward to regulate firearms. This kind of obstruction has consequences for real people: families left bereft, communities devastated.

On The Fly: Hiding From Bad News

Ann Brenoff | June 13, 2013 | Fifty
Ignorance, when it comes to your health, isn't bliss. It's trouble. It's taking unnecessary risks and missing out on less-invasive treatment options that are available only when there's been early detection. While I'm a firm believer that our bodies, if left to their own devices, will try to heal themselves, I also know that stuff like cancer doesn't cure itself.

A Spooky House, the Law and You

Diane Dimond | June 12, 2013 | Crime
Anyone out there live in a haunted house? It might seem like a silly question, but as home sales pick up you should know there are laws against selling a house without full disclosure.

Coping With the Consumer Side of Pride

Mitch Kellaway | June 12, 2013 | Gay Voices
My internal dialogue: "Why are these companies trying to sell me their merchandise in my space? Why should we consider it a victory that we've become another niche market to sell to? This day isn't about them, no matter how hard they try to make it so."
