Tony, an endangered Siberian tiger, was 18 years, 3 months old, the second-oldest male Siberian tiger in North America and among o

Arizona Life Disabled Explorers In the World's Most Badass Short Bus
Gizmodo.com
Lance Blair was 18 when a truck blew a red light and removed his lower leg. "There was about a pinky-width of meat holding it on." So Lance did the obvious thing: He built a diesel-powered wheelchair-accessible 4x4 adventure truck. Granted, it took Lance a couple of decades to put together the "Wheelchair Accessible Van for Expeditions"the "WAVE." After his motorcycle accident in 1988 he wasn't sure he'd even walk again.

Arizona Life Arizona passes strict illegal immigration act
Los Angeles Times

The measure, long sought by opponents of illegal immigration, passed 35 to 21 in the state House of Representatives. The state Senate passed a similar measure earlier this year, and Republican Gov.

FoxNews.com
Mexican drug cartels have set up shop on American soil, maintaining lookout bases in strategic locations in the hills of southern Arizona from which their scouts can monitor every move made by law enforcement officials, federal agents tell Fox News. The scouts are supplied by drivers who bring them food, water, batteries for radios -- all the items they need to stay in the wilderness for a long time.

Spokane Living Bobcat Fever William Davies
Quite a few old timers have commented about the historical notes I posted on the website that described the difficult winters in north Pend Oreille county seventy years ago, and I am gratified so many others share my belief about our responsibility to pass on this vital history to the young folks.
Most remember vividly the wolf packs between Metaline and Metaline Falls and almost everyone remembers the vicious wolverines north of town, and well they might. Wolverines would eat your face and...

Ajo Living Wildflowers in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument
AZCentral.com
This time of year, brilliant desert blooms visit one of Arizona's oldest and least visited national parks. Established in 1937, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument exists because the temperatures here rarely dip below freezing. The monument's 330,000 acres form a mostly frost-free cradle of warmth, even in the depths of winter, tailor-made especially for the cold-sensitive organ-pipe cactus. Spring flowers flood the desert with broad swaths of yellow, green and violet.

New American
Nearly 3 million foreclosures were filed in 2009, and almost 10 percent of all mortgages are now delinquent nationally. Homeowners are faced with a painful decision: Continue to make payments even if they are underwater, or do a strategic default. In 2006, a young professional couple bought a three-bedroom home in Salinas, California, for $585,000.
