  • The caves in El Choco National Park, near Cabarete in the Dominican Republic, have become an important part of the country's tourism industry, but conservationists worry about the long-term consequences tourism brings on the cave microclimates, which are affected by physical alterations, such as concrete paths and steel handrails, as well as climate changes in carbon dioxide, humidity and temperature altered by human presence. In the image, a candle lights a young Dominican boy named David who escorted a group of young American tourists.<br />

  • A young boy named Eduardo practices drums in Santiago de Los Caballeros in the Dominican Republic. Behind Eduardo hangs a painting by the Dominican artist Ricardo Toribio who paints scenes celebrating life on the island, especially that of the native Tainos who European colonialists enslaved alongside African slaves imported in the 15th century. The country, and its neighbor Haiti, still struggle with racism and ethnic divisions, but art celebrating the lives of the descendants of slaves has found a new audience and acclaim.<br />

  • In Wisconsin, the Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah football team has enjoyed a new-found popularity since converting its 11-man team to 8-man. This resort town school joined a statewide trend toward this style of play, which allows small schools -- many of which are shrinking due to rural population decline -- to compete with each other on a level playing ground.<br />
<br />
The community -- small thought it may be -- behind the school has wholeheartedly embraced the new style of play. "The student section is phenomenal," head coach Barry Feldman said. "Our players feel it. They hear it, and they see it. And it makes them play even harder." <br />

  • [Twenty six years ago, Vi Lane and her family were set. She and her high school sweetheart Rod owned three KFC restaurants and a video store. But a lump developed on Rod's neck, and four years later, Rod died from complications related to oats-cell carcinoma. Rod's treatment cost millions of dollars, and without health insurance, Vi sold the family's businesses to settle the hospital bill for 2.5 million dollars.<br />
<br />
Vi has always worked, but with her 70th birthday looming on the horizon, she had settled into a solitary life in a two-story house she rents near downtown Platte City.<br />
<br />
Eight months ago, shortly after Vi's 22-year-old granddaughter Cyndi Perkins found out she was pregnant with her second child, she and her 18-month-old son Thomas Brown moved in with Vi.<br />
<br />
Cyndi works for Y Club, an after school program south of Platte City, and she hopes to teach second grade once she gets her degree. She makes $9.25 an hour but is not allowed to work more than 28 hours each week so that her employer isn't required to enroll her in health insurance. Cyndi's hospital stay for the birth will be covered by the new Missouri Uninsured Women's Health Services program, but the only hospital that will take that insurance is a 35-mile drive from home.<br />
<br />
Though health insurance woes continue to plague them, this unexpected family has brought a sense of cohesion and has filled Vi's solitary home with love.]<br />
<br />
Vi Lane reaches out to her great-grandson Thomas Brown as they drive through Platte City on Tuesday, September 23, 2014. Lane lost her family's four businesses after the death of her husband 22 years ago, and though the future continues to be unclear, she is grateful for the time with family.<br />
