I am in awe of disabled skiers, climbers, divers, and others who have learned to coordinate their bodies and take great enjoyment and a sense of accomplishment from their wilderness activities. It behooves everyone in the healthcare profession to be aware of certain special medical concerns for persons who are disabled physically or emotionally. Additionally, family members and friends are often well aware of what they can do to help in providing a joint effort to support the disabled. At the 2010 Wilderness Medical Society annual meeting in Snowmass, Colorado, JenFu Cheng, MD (a pediatric rehabilitation specialist from NJ), gave a wonderful presentation on the medical aspects of ...

An experienced public relations consultant who once worked briefly in the Reagan White House, he has generated a controversial profile as a crisis management counselor by adopting an aggressive posture toward the media. Among his high-profile assignments - he has reportedly represented former Enron ceo Jeff Skilling and Dow Chemical, which led to a nasty skirmish with Greenpeace USA over messy allegations of dumpster diving and stolen documents (see here and here). A New Jersey native, Dezenhall detailed his philosophy in a book entitled ‘Nail ‘Em!: Confronting High-Profile Attacks on Celebrities and Businesses.’ Bill Moyers, a noted journalist who sparred with the Dezenhall firm over a 2001 documentary about the chemicals industry, told BusinessWeek:...

As a long-time diver, I have recently begun to notice that the nature of the sea is much like the nature of the land. Life above the waves is very similar to the depths below, and there are many parallels with what is simple and beautiful and what is difficult and scary. A tranquil sea can turn rough, choppy, and dangerous within minutes – you could be driving along content in your car, listening to your favorite music, when your tire blows sending you into a spin and a maelstrom of danger. In life, as with the sea, you never know when the good or bad will hit. I have come up with five principles I learned at sea that mirror the lessons I...

The shaft is located in the Rondout-West Branch tunnel, which is 45 miles long, 13.5 feet wide, up to 1,200 feet below ground” and which brings half of the water supply to New York city from reservoirs in the Catskill Mountains. For more than a month, the six divers have to live in a sealed 24-foot tubular pressurized tank complete with showers, a television and a Nerf basketball hoop, breathing air that is 97.5 percent helium and 2.5 percent oxygen, so their high-pitched squeals are all but unintelligible. They leave the tank only to transfer to a diving bell that is lowered 70 stories into the earth, where they work...

She soon came sauntering up the sidewalk looking as if she didn't have a care in the world. I was glad to see her free. "You're supposed to be in jail," I said as I laughed and she walked by. "Yeah, well, don't believe all the shit Big S tells you," she said as she turned and grinned. I looked over at Big S and he just shrugged his shoulders. Ferret also made an appearance along with Dumpster Diving Dan. Ferret was trying to get Dan to "hook him up" on dumpstered groceries. What Dan finds in the dumpsters is meager pickings.  I don't think he relished any competition from Ferret. He certainly didn't look happy at Ferret's encroachment. "I don't see why that old man would want to b...

I asked Droopy, a long time cohort of George's who is often down there. "I ain't be seein' dat old man for days," Droopy replied. "It's the heat," Rosa said. "It's chased him inside." I made a mental note to go by Dumpster Diving Dan's house to check on him. "So George says Ferret's homeless again," I said to Droopy. "Dat nigga be stayin' down on the river again," he replied. "Almost got busted for public drunkenness the other day over here." Ferret is like me.  We either have it together or our lives are a disaster.  There is no middle ground...
