Political Notebook: More challenges for new districts
Every week, it seems, brings more news about redistricting.
The Secretary of State's Office has confirmed that proponents of a referendum to repeal new state Senate districts had submitted enough signatures to move on to the verification process.
The question will go before voters if about 504,000 of the more than 700,000 signatures submitted were deemed valid. The effort by Fairness and Accountability in Redistricting has garnered the supported of several local Republican lawmakers.
On Wednesday, a separate coalition of Republicans filed a lawsuit alleging that the redistricting commission violated the U.S. Constitution and the Voting Rights Act in redrawing California's congressional lines.
Officials with the Citizens Redistricting Commission said previously that they expected the maps — drawn by the voter-created, nonpartisan, independent commission with the input of tens of thousands of Californians — would be supported by voters, just as they were upheld by a unanimous California Supreme Court.
Fletcher passed: Turns out Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, R-San Diego, is better than average on tax issues after all.
The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association this week issued a correction and apology for giving him a "C" grade in its annual ranking of lawmakers published last week in The Notebook.
Fletcher should have earned a "B," read a mea culpa issued by Jon Coupal, president of the group. He said the error occurred when calculating Fletcher's votes on a number of measures. Instead of a 78.2 percent, the assemblyman should have been awarded an 82.6 percent.
"We regret the error," Coupal wrote. "I want to personally apologize to Nathan and his staff for any difficulties this may have caused."
Fletcher, who is running for mayor of San Diego, could have been left open to anti-taxpayer charges on the campaign trail if the C had stood.
Tea party critique: Fletcher isn't out of the woods quite yet when it comes to his voting record reflected in score cards, or so it appears.
At a tea party event this week in San Diego, he was grilled by a self-described parental rights advocate for having points docked by Capitol Resource Family Impact, a socially conservative voice in Sacramento.
The woman, who said she posted results of the organization's score card on Fletcher's Facebook wall (it was later removed), asked why he scored just 20 percent when many of his lawmaker peers had perfect scores.
"If you want a candidate that's going to tell you what your moral values, and your compass and your guideposts are and how to live your life on a day-in and day-out basis, I am not your candidate," Fletcher said to some applause.
"I am a person of faith, and my faith holds certain beliefs that subscribe to me and my family, but I don't believe it's government's job to inject those same decisions on every other family out there."
Keeping up with the Fletchers: He quickly found the room's funny bone when discussing inefficiencies in city government.
"If you want to get married in a city park, depending on the size of the wedding, you could be looking at nine different permits," Fletcher said "Getting married is hard enough. Kardashians … that's like a permit for every week you were married."

Review: Double Sided Scratcher from The Meow Mommy
from The Conscious Cat
Monday September 1st, 2014 at 10:00 PM
When it comes to scratchers, more is better. And while most cats will develop a preference for a certain type of scratcher, you never really know whether your cats will like a particular scratcher until you let them give it a try.
I had a feeling Allegra and Ruby were going to love The Double Sided Scratcher from The Meow Mommy, and I wasnt wrong. I could barely get it out of its plastic shrink wrap before Allegra gave it a go, as you can see in the video below.
Conscious Cat Sunday: Don't Doubt Yourself

When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt. Honore de Balzac
Weve all had those days, when it feels like nothing we do is good enough. We question our abilities, feel like well never be successful, and, to make matters worse, berate ourselves for feeling that way. Self-doubt is insidious its that little or not so little voice that keeps telling you that youre just not good enough. I dont think cats experience self-doubt in quite the same way we humans do, but some cats are...
Mews and Nips: Pizza Hut in Japan Run by Cats?
from The Conscious Cat
Friday August 29th, 2014 at 10:00 PM
Theres no question that cats own the internet, and advertisers are catching on. Pizza Hut recently launched a new campaign in Japan that features cats taking orders, delivering pizzas, cleaning the floors and managing the money. Whether the campaign will actually sell pizza remains to be seen. Im not a fan of putting outfits on cats unless theyre photoshopped, and while I suppose the videos are funny, I find them almost painfully absurd at times. For more about the campaigns, and to see the...

Even though theres an ever growing array of more eco-friendly, alternative litters on the market, I have yet to find one that Allegra and Ruby will actually use and when it comes to cat litter, ultimately, its your cats call of what goes in the box, right?

Today's weather forecast: August Gloom
Good news for those of us mourning the imminent loss of Evan Kleiman's Italian favorite, Angeli Caffe. Originally scheduled to close on January 8, the restaurant will now serve its final meals on the eerily appropriate date of Friday, January 13. Yes, that's one more week to enjoy smoked mozzarella potato croquettes, linguini alle vongole, or pizza puttanesca at the Melrose nook. The extension was spurred by popular demand, so call or go online for reservations. And don't forget that Angeli is open for lunch as well! Mmmm, panini. See here for the full scoop behind the closure.

There are some picks in this sector that have excellent valuations and strong earnings growth.
- Gold stocks to buy amid the Ukraine crisis
These three hot movers could rise by double digits in the coming months.
- RadioShack weighs rescue deal options
The electronics retailer is burning through cash, could run out by the end of '15.
Big earnings could affect funds tracking tech, banking and industrials.
By Don Dion, TheStreet
Here are five ETFs to watch this week.
1. iShares Dow Jones U.S. Technology Index Fund (IYW)
Google (GOOG) kicked of the tech earnings season on a strong note late last week, sending shares of the search giant soaring.
This week, there will be earnings from a deluge of other tech titans, including Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Intel (INTC), EMC (EMC), Qualcomm (QCOM) and International Business Machines (IBM).
The IYW is a strong option for investors looking to cast a wide net over the technology sector. All seven of the companies listed above can be found among the fund's top 10 holdings, representing over half of its portfolio.
Baristas at the coffee chain's 31 Chile locations are demanding a $100 meal stipend and a cash bonus when they have babies.
Starbucks (SBUX) isn't exactly known as a corporate villain. It has a grandiose sustainability vision and is working on a comprehensive cup-recycling plan. It offers benefits for baristas, including health care for dependents and unmarried partners. And it has a loyal following of java junkies nationwide.
But to hear some folks in Chile say it, Starbucks isn't doing enough. Workers at Starbucks' Santiago cafes have a list of demands, and some of them might shock you.
For starters, they want SBUX management to pay them to buy food on lunch breaks. Seriously.
Besides a salary increase, Starbucks says, the union in Chile has a list of 25 demands. These include a cash bonus when a worker gets married or has a child. Employees in Chile also want a $100-per-month lunch stipend so they can offset the cost of meals bought during long shifts.
Beyond the static is positive news for stocks that should boost valuations.
Earnings season kicked off last week with a solid report from Alcoa (AA). Unfortunately the market was more interested in the dysfunction in Washington. The debate over the debt limit overshadowed all else, sending investors to the exits.
Stocks were lower across the board.
Taking the debt discussion out of the equation, investors ought to be encouraged. There were lots of solid reports last week, including a big number from Google (GOOG). That news sent shares up a whopping 12% Friday.
What does the news portend for Apple? The technology giant reports earnings Tuesday, and most observers expect another strong report.
With many big names reporting results next week, stocks are likely to trade higher. Google's performance shows how large companies can make investors money. I'll stick with that theme by making the SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) the ETF to own this week.
The search giant may be the real social-media play, thanks to the launch of its innovative Google+ platform.
By Tom Taulli, InvestorPlace Writer
Not that long ago, Google (GOOG) was almost considered a has-been, stagnating in the "value trap" like other tech giants such as Cisco (CSCO).
It turns out news of Google's death has been greatly exaggerated. As seen with its latest quarterly report, the company still appears to be in growth mode.
In fact, the company is attacking the pesky social operators Facebook and Twitter, both of which have been fetching huge valuations. And as we've seen with the huge valuation of LinkedIn (LNKD), investors are extremely hungry to get shares in these companies when they hit the public markets.
In the past 72 hours, Europe got worse and debt-ceiling talks in the US deteriorated.
Stunned at how bad it looks Monday. Stunned that nothing good ever seems to happen in Europe at all. Nothing.
The stress tests just seem like total shams. I would have thought that, given the tremendous sovereign bond holdings these banks have, it would have been prudent just to issue statements that said, "If the banks we know have X level of debt don't raise capital, we will seize them and nationalize them." Something with real teeth.
Without that, we are facing the absurdity of this slow death that grinds and grinds. We have a 1980s-style Latin American debt crisis here. The sophisticated people around the globe know this, so there is no exit until the capital is raised and the bullet is bitten on the bogus sovereign bonds.
I was hoping for Geithner-like stress tests, ones that found every major bank issuing a ton of equity, something that makes our banks solvent -- although that does not make them investible.

Big-time redemptions may have caused several would-be rallies last week to fail. A short-term rally remains likely, but if sell-offs continue, June's lows could be tested.
BHP Billiton's massive cash bid for Petrohawk sent Petrohawk's share price soaring on Friday.
Fortune calculates that the golfer may only earn $20 million in endorsement deals this year -- a huge drop from the past.
Woods has still signed with Nike (NKE), Electronic Arts (ERTS) and Kowa, a company that makes a heat rub in Japan (insert your own joke here). He was likely only paid in the single-digit millions for a recent Kowa commercial running in Japan, Daniel Roberts writes.
This leads Fortune to speculate that Woods may actually be running out of money -- or at least isn't making enough to cover the lifestyle to which he's become accustomed.
After the company's fantastic June quarter, Wall Street is piling on the love and the stock is soaring.
After the search giant blew away expectations Thursday with its June quarter results, analysts who previously questioned the company's aptitude have fallen in love all over again.
They're cheering the fact that Google is growing revenue faster than at any time in the past three years. About 135 million devices now use the company's Android mobile platform, and 10 million people are trying out the new Google+ social-networking service. Google's shares were up more than 12% Friday to $594.80 in midday trading.
Google's guns are a'blazin', and newly minted chief executive, and co-founder, Larry Page was happy to crow about it, staying on through the entire conference call with analysts Thursday, Barron's reports.
Activist investor Carl Icahn claims the household name could be worth $100 per share. What should investors do?
By Chris Stuart, TheStreet
Never a dull moment with Carl Icahn.
The investor put in an unsolicited bid Friday for Clorox (CLX). At an offer price of $76.50 per share, the proposed deal would equate to just an 11% premium over Thursday's closing price. But Icahn has a different price target for Clorox in mind, one that is substantially higher.
As noted in his letter to Clorox CEO Donald Knauss it is likely that his intention is not to buy out the company, but for a white knight to step in and come up with a higher bid, ultimately making Icahn's 9.4% stake worth a lot more then it was worth a few days ago. Icahn encourages Clorox to "hold an open and friendly 'go-shop' sale process where all the synergistic buyers are offered due diligence and invited to bid."
American Superconductor gets hammered. Silvio Berlusconi blames speculators for the implosion of Italian banks. Deutsche Bank hires Janet Jackson at $17,700 a minute.
By Gregg Greenberg, TheStreet
Here is this week's roundup of the dumbest actions on Wall Street.
5. American not-so-Superconductor
Shares of American Superconductor (AMSC), which makes electrical systems for wind farms, fell 5% this past Monday and another 5% on Tuesday. The stock is down nearly 40% since mid-April and more than 70% year-to-date.
The media empire's CEO will answer questions about accusations of phone hacking. The CEO of the company's UK newspaper unit resigns.
By TheStreet Staff
News Corp. (NWSA) CEO Rupert Murdoch, whose British newspapers have been battling accusations of phone hacking for the past week, will appear before members of the British Parliament next week to answer questions about the scandal, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Earlier on Friday, Rebekah Brooks resigned as CEO of News International, News Corp.'s U.K. newspaper unit. She will be replaced by Tom Mockridge, the CEO of News Corp.'s Sky Italia operations. Brooks and James Murdoch, who heads international operations for the giant media group, will also testify before the parliamentary committee, according to the Journal, which News Corp. owns.
James Murdoch said Friday that the newspaper group will apologize to Britain for the phone hacking. The company also plans to set up an independent committee to investigate claims of improper conduct. While News Corp.'s stock has dropped 11% during the past week, its shares were up 0.9% at $15.57 Friday.
The easiest way to invest in this country is also the riskiest.
By Tim Hanson
It's undoubtedly painful to have been an investor in any of the Chinese-listed companies that have been alleged to be or exposed as frauds over the past year. That's a feeling that's been shared by individual investors as well as by revered professionals such as John Paulson (Sino-Forest), Hank Greenberg (China MediaExpress), and Lee Ainslie (Longtop Financial).
We've shared in that pain at Motley Fool Global Gains as well, with two of our China picks, Yongye International (YONG) and China Green Agriculture (CGA), having had serious questions raised about them at one time or another. We believe our research of these companies has addressed these questions, but it is also true that our once-significant gains in these stocks have been largely erased.
A better way?
It's in the face of those losses that many Fools have asked me why we bother investing in individual Chinese companies at all. Even if China's economy continues to grow, wouldn't it be easier and safer just to buy an exchange-traded fund such as the China 25 Index (FXI) and remove some of the company-specific risks that have recently crushed so many investors?
These funds provide exposure to companies the Oracle has shown interest in.
By Don Dion, TheStreet
Given his legendary knack for picking winners, it's no wonder market professionals and do-it-yourself retail investors tend to keep a close watch on Warren Buffett to see what new companies he has his eyes on.
Buffett's acquisition preferences have received particularly heavy focus throughout 2011 in light of his massive cash reserves as well as his words and actions.
In his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) shareholders, Buffett used his recognizable folksy charm in an attempt to portray his desire to find acquisition targets. In the document, he said he and partner Charlie Munger have their elephant gun reloaded and are prepared and eager to pull the trigger when an attractive opportunity presents itself.
Proven technical measures show that it's a high-risk time to buy these market leaders.

An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC looks at the horrible situation in Ferguson, MO and what it says about where we are and where we're going.
A feature about John Alvin, movie poster artist and the subject of "The Art of John Alvin."
An interview with Harvard Business School professor Anita Elberse, author of "Blockbusters: Hit-making, Risk-taking, and the Big Business of Entertainment."
Remarkably the film is showing in 3-D in some venues (not at the Siskel Center, where it opens Friday), which has no effect on the characters but serves to delineate them from the background. The use of 3-D with a film so adamantly in two dimensions is a novelty. I wonder what it adds.
Michel Ocelot tells six fairy tales here, none too long to outstay its welcome, all told with a pleasing energy. There is a linking device: In a movie studio, presumably in Paris, an experienced older man at a computer is helping two young actors explore roles they might want to play, and in the process, they create stories and costumes for their chosen roles.
The stories are all fantastical, all straightforward enough that to describe them would come perilously close to spoiler-land. The curtain-raiser, "The Werewolf," involves that staple of fantasy, the werewolf, and tells the story of a prince who marries the older of two sisters, under the mistaken impression that she was the one who saved his life. This treacherous person tricks him and then, to trap him inside a wolf, hides the magic chain he needs to become human again. But the younger sister … ah, but you will see.
"Ti Jean and Belle-Sans-Connaitre" is a Caribbean tale (set there on a whim by the old man), which tells of a boy who ventures into a cave and unknowingly tumbles down into the land of the dead (who walk on their hands). "Tam-Tam Boy," from Africa, is about a young drummer whose talent is not respected until he saves his village.
"The Boy Who Never Lied," set in Tibet, is about two kings who have a competition to see which one can persuade a boy to lie. "The Doe-Girl and the Architect's Son," set in Europe, is a reversal of "The Werewolf," in which a girl becomes a doe and a young man who loves her helps her become human again. "The Chosen One of the Golden City," set in an Aztec kingdom in ancient Mexico, involves a girl chosen for human sacrifice, and a boy who tries to save her.
The film is intended for family audiences. It is so gentle and whimsical that one wonders if American children, accustomed to the whiz-bang action of most animation, will accept it. Maybe there would be hope for the younger ones — but what will they make of the subtitles?

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/29/13 -- 10gen, the MongoDB company, and its board of directors today announced that Max Schireson has been promoted from President to Chief Executive Officer. Co-founder and former CEO Dwight Merriman will continue to serve as Chairman in a full-time capacity.
The transition to CEO is a natural progression for Schireson, who joined 10gen in February 2011 and has led all company functions since then with exceptional results. During this time period, 10gen has increased its global community, headcount and customer base dramatically, with significant progress in the enterprise market serving a large number of Fortune 500 companies.
"Max has been an ideal partner for growing the company over the past two years and has been instrumental in helping us become the leading NoSQL database and real challenger to the relational model," said Merriman. "I look forward to my new role as we further execute on our long-term vision of providing the best database for how applications are written, scaled and managed today."
Prior to 10gen, Schireson spent seven years at XML database company MarkLogic, where he served as Chief Operating Officer. Before MarkLogic, Schireson spent nine years at relational database company Oracle, where he served as Chief Applications Architect and Vice President, eCommerce and Self-Service Applications. He was also National Co-Chair of Technology for Obama.
"It has been a privilege to work with Dwight and the rest of the 10gen team as the database market experiences real change for the first time in decades," said Schireson. "As CEO, I will be focused on enabling our fast-growing community, customer base and partner ecosystem to improve developer productivity, user experience, operational efficiency and cost of ownership."
In 2007, Dwight Merriman initiated the MongoDB project with 10gen CTO Eliot Horowitz to address challenges they found in ease-of-use, flexibility, performance and scalability with existing database technologies during their work at DoubleClick, where Dwight was a co-founder and served as CTO for 10 years. DoubleClick was sold to Google for $3.1 billion.
MongoDB is one of the most popular new technologies with more than 3.8 million downloads, 47,000 Online Education registrations, 15,000 MongoDB User Group (MUG) members, 14,000 MongoDB Monitoring Service users and 10,000 attendees at MongoDB global events in 2012.
10gen has more than 500 commercial customers including many of the world's leading brands, such as Cisco, Craigslist, Disney, EA, eBay, Ericsson, Forbes, Foursquare, Intuit, LexisNexis, MTV, Salesforce.com, Shutterfly and Telefonica. 10gen partners include Intel, Microsoft, Red Hat and VMware. Common use cases include operational and analytical big data, content management and delivery, mobile and social infrastructure, user data management and data hub.
MongoDB is the open-source, document database popular among developers and IT professionals due to its agile and scalable approach. MongoDB provides a JSON data model with dynamic schemas, extensive driver support, auto-sharding, built-in replication and high availability, full and flexible index support, rich queries, aggregation, in-place updates and GridFS for large file storage.
10gen has raised more than $81 million in funding from investors Flybridge Capital Partners, In-Q-Tel, Intel Capital, NEA, Red Hat, Sequoia Capital and Union Square Ventures.
About 10gen
10gen is the company behind MongoDB, the leading NoSQL database. MongoDB is the open-source, document-oriented database that is quickly reshaping the overall database and big data market due to the popularity of its agile and scalable approach among developers and IT professionals for new applications in the cloud and beyond.

I own a 2000 square foot ranch in Cleveland OH with an old Trane single stage furnace. The local HVAC contractor I work with is first rate. I've worked with them for years. A Manual J calc was done and the number say I need 60,000 btu's.
I am looking to replace the furnace but keep my 3 ton AC. I recently installed a low cost Honeywell 7 day programmable thermostat .
The contractor has been a Carrier shop historically but they recently added Lennox as well.
They have proposed the following furnace choices;
1) Carrier INFINITY SERIES ECM BLOWER MOTOR THREE STAGES OF HEAT
58MVC100-1-20 (100,000 BTU input on high fire, 68,000 BTU input on medium fire and 45,000 BTU on low fire) Keep the Honeywell thermostat
2) Lennox Elite 2 stage with variable ECM Blower EL296UH070Xv36B - 70,000 btu - keep the Honeywell thermostat
3) Lennox Signature Series SLP298UH070XV36B - 70,000 btu - fully modulating furnace, with ECM blower (this unit would require a high doller thermostat)
I am thinking the Lennox Signature Series is overkill. We are not planning on running any extra zones or thermosts. The home actually heats pretty evenly with my old furnace. Unfortunately the furnace is quite noisy and the house tends to get cold before the furnace kicks on.
A key goal of the new furnace is to get a quieter furnace and a more stable temperature (less temperature swings).
Which of these three model furnaces would you choose? And what type of thermostat would you recommend?
Price is less important than getting the right furnace system. We plan to live in this home for many years.

Accusoft, the leading provider of document, content and imaging solutions, today announces enhancements to its Barcode Xpress software development kit (SDK) for adding barcode recognition capabilities to applications. Enhancements include a new binarizer algorithm, significantly improved handling of speckled barcodes, and more.
Using Barcode Xpress, developers can integrate the most accurate one-dimensional (1D) or two-dimensional (2D) barcode recognition with only a few lines of code, empowering their applications with the ability to detect, read and write more than 36 different 1D and 2D barcodes with unparalleled accuracy. Applications built with Barcode Xpress can scan more than 1,000 pages per minute while accurately locating and decoding multiple barcodes on each page. The SDK supports 32- and 64-bit .NET, ActiveX, Java and Java ME development environments.
Enhancements included in the free service pack released today include a new binarizer algorithm for superior accuracy when reading color and grayscale printed barcodes, plus improved recognition accuracy when reading 1D barcode images marred by printing defects such as white speckle noise. Also featured are performance improvements for the reading of PDF417 stacked linear barcodes, and improved detection of QR codes.
Accusoft offers another barcode SDK, Barcode Xpress Mobile, that enables developers to build mobile apps that tap the cameras in mobile devices to recognize a wide variety of 1D and 2D barcodes, including QR codes, UPC, postal codes, and now GS1 DataBar codes, all of which are also supported by Barcode Xpress.

On the Volcano level, when you get to the Moltros egg, you can sit there and throw apples to gather the Charmander. Perfect opportunity for some photos.
I made the beginning music short, let it finish before pressing play in case the movie loads really fast. It's like 7 seconds of music. Placed there aesthetically for nostalgias sake.
lol great job I remembered back in the day I played this game and I did the same thing as in this flash. If the pokemon could've talked back it sound something like that. Also the charmander's were really well done. I hope to see more of this.
Thanks for the feedback!
lol i wud have lovedto see more of these. pokemon snap still fun in its own right. love the charmanders too. cutest things ever since the GBC games came out.
i like it, and i get what you did there, showing how it is on the pokemon's side. also that one line though "knock it off ya curly head ginger" it was done so perfectly, i laghed every time i heard it and the ending was good too.
Thanks a lot. That ginger part is definitely special ha ha.
you stole the music, i still dont think its legal...
if it is then good job! realy cool! pritty funny too!
make MOUR!!! MOUR KRABZ!
lol i didn't steal the music, I recorded clips of it. Thanks for the feedback!
can you throw apples and google chrome bombs play a flute at the same time take pictures of a charmander with a serious face ?!?!?!? hahahahahahahaha :D i can see now how pokemon feel when we use these wierd devices on them great movie btw :D
p.s. charmander steves voice was a suprise :D his voice changed a lot when he used flamethower :D

Walk MS Northwoods Will Raise Money for Research
Submitted: 05/07/2013
Ben Meyer

- A year ago, people with multiple sclerosis didn't have a common place in the Northwoods to share their struggles.
Now, we're less than a week away from the biggest MS event ever in the area.
The Northwoods MS Self Help group formed last year.
On Saturday, they'll host the newest version of a national spring tradition - an MS Walk.
"This is our first year, and it's a learning experience, but I think that it should be a fun day, and that's what all of our walks are. People come out and they just have a good time - fellowship, friendship," says walk coordinator Janet Marie Carlstedt.
The walk is Saturday morning outside Rhinelander High School.
Newswatch 12 is entering a team to help raise money for MS research.
You can donate to our team or join the walk yourself by following the link below.

Sausage Fest brings in large crowds
Submitted: 08/31/2014
Play Video
- People in Eagle River had the chance to experience a unique event Sunday.
The Eagle River Lions Club held its first inaugural Sausage Fest. The family friendly event started off with a 5k run, music from the Bill Hassey Orchestra and of course sausages as far as the eye can see.
Leaders for the event say they wanted to do something similar to Oktoberfest.
"We put together a group about two years ago to think of some kind of activity to do locally in the community that would be a lot of fun to get people to come out and just enjoy a good day at the park," said Eagle River Lions Club Treasurer Jake Weinand. "There's a lot of other local clubs in the small towns in Northern Wisconsin that do similar things like this. We've been kind of envious of them. We've been around since 1949, we just didn't have anything like this."

- Most dog owners refer to their dogs as man's best friend. They're loyal, affectionate and caring. They're also very vigilant when someone is in distress. In Hazelhurst, one dog saved a family from a potential tragic accident.
8-year-old Chandler is Keith Stern's best friend.
"Chandler wanna go lake? Wanna go lake Chandler? Let's go lake," said Stern.
About two weeks ago Chandler stayed with her grandparents or Keith's parents in Hazelhurst. She normally sits on the edge of the balcony to watch the birds and the neighborhood, but this time she was acting unusual.

Raft down the Middle Fork of the Salmon river on a deluxe camping adventure that's simply BIG fun!
Hungry for a real adventure but don't want to break the bank? Looking for easy fun in the great outdoors, but want to curtail the hassles of camping? Dying for a fast getaway but short on time? Then come and experience the thrills and delights of one of the world's premiere wilderness destinations! The Middle Fork of the Salmon River is the heartbeat of the 2.2 million-acre River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho, boasting more than 100 unforgettable rapids over 100 miles, 60 of which are Class III to Class IV in the spring departures—a blast for amateurs and pros alike! MTS' journey down the Middle Fork is one of the best values on the river—both a fun-filled ride down one of the country's greatest rivers and an unbelievable voyage through time, where layered rock strata and shifting landscapes give way to riverside hot springs, pit dwellings inhabited by the Shoshone people, and old Gold Rush homesteads that still leave their imprints today.
Our guides are some of the strongest professional boatmen and local naturalists. Many were born and raised in Idaho and know its wilderness intimately. They host one of the most enjoyable—and arguably one of the most approachable—adventures we offer, and a pefect getaway for first-time campers and rafters! Every day you'll choose your own experience: ride an oar boat, where you can take in the scenery and wildlife while your guides paddle; crew a paddle boat, where you can navigate the rapids with five other guests; or captain your own vessel on an inflatable "ducky" kayak. You'll raft from about 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., including a restful stop for lunch, and once you get out of the boat, your set-up camp and a hot shower will be waiting for you! Take a load off with a beer and a book from the floating library, so you can read up on the parts of the river that have interested you most, and then sit down to a proper dinner (cooked by our guides) of lasagna, fajitas, chicken curry, fresh salmon, or grilled steak—complete with a tablecloth, cloth napkins, and wine. And every evening is spent under the stars around a welcoming campfire, where we'll share stories, music, and laughs.
Over the course of our journey, we'll see a wide scope of changing scenery: we'll begin in a dense, mountain forest, gradually descend into Ponderosa pines, then piñon and juniper parklands, ride through a tall, rocky canyon and then finish in the desert—2000 feet in elevation below our original starting point! We'll also encounter a host of wildlife including bighorn sheep, beaver, porcupine, river otters, mink, black bear, coyote, and perhaps even an elusive wolf or cougar. Soaring above us, we may catch a glimpse of osprey, bald eagles, or herons. You'll want to have your camera poised and ready for pictures of the old Shoshone pit dwellings and the ruins of Gold Rush homesteads. However, as we head into the excitement of the whitewater, our focus again returns to the river, where we'll navigate rapids with colorful names like Pistol Creek, Marble Falls, Ski Jump, Tappan Falls, Aparajo, Driftwood, Haystack, Bernard Creek, Earthquake (which sits squarely on the 45th parallel), Jack Creek, and Goalpost. An added bonus of the Middle Fork is that you can time your comfort level with the seasons: the spring rapids offer the wildest rides, whereas July and August departures are typically more mellow, with no Class IV water. And once we drift into camp in the early to late afternoon, there will be plenty of time for some catch-and-release trout fishing and hiking, including a steep hike to the beautiful, icy waters of Veil Falls—the ultimate swimming hole after a warm day on the river!
MTS' adventure down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River is one of our greatest North America itineraries. Rich in natural history, wildlife, and legends of early America, it is just as much as a relaxing escape as it is a delightful voyage down one of the country's most exciting rivers.
Rafting on Class II/IV rapids (Class II/III in August) on oar boats, paddle boats, inflatable kayak option. Easy to moderate day hikes; Minimum age is 6 (12 during high water— June departures).
- Have a blast riding down one of the most thrilling rivers of the country, with more than 100 rapids over 100 miles, guided by MTS' professional raft guides
- Rated by National Geographic as one of the top 3 whitewater rafting trips in the WORLD
- Choose a new boating pleasure each day: relax and enjoy the ride on an oar boat, get wet with a team of paddlers, or captain your own vessel on one of our inflatable kayaks
- Dive into the history of ancient America as you ride through layered rock strata and changing landscapes, from the high mountains to the desert
- Spend your afternoons fishing for trout, relaxing in natural hot springs, hiking around camp, visiting Native American rock pictographs, and swimming in the cool waters of Veil Falls
- Don't worry about being an expert! Bring your family and have fun camping in style with tents, delicious dinners, and hot showers all prepared for you
Duration: 6 days Start Location: Stanley, Idaho End Location: Stanley, IdahoDownload Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 : Meet in Stanley, Idaho
In the morning, we'll take a bus ride from Stanley into the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. At Boundary Creek, you'll meet our river guides for a safety briefing. After choosing an oar boat or paddle boat, you'll encounter the first of the Middle Fork's hundreds of rapids. In the late afternoon, arrive at one of the Middle Fork's beautiful and pristine campgrounds for gourmet dinner and overnight.
Day 2 : On the river—Pistol Creek
Pistol Creek rapid (Class III) provides an exciting jump start to the day. We'll stop at the Indian Creek Guard Station to learn about the area's native inhabitants, the Shoshone tribe known as the Sheepeater. Then, it's back into the boats to traverse Pongo rapid and coast into camp. If water conditions permit, we'll bring out the inflatable "ducky" kayaks today. At camp, relax with appetizers and wine, enjoy the company of your fellow trip members, take a hike, or browse our book library.
Day 3 : On the river—Sunflower/Loon Creek Hot Springs
In the morning, sail through Marble Falls and Ski Jump rapids. The water then calms down making this a good day to fly-fish for cutthroat trout (catch-and-release only), or to take a refreshing swim. We may also stop at the hot springs at Sunflower or Loon Creek, where you can have a relaxing soak while you keep an eye out for mountain goats and bighorn sheep. After lunch, a short hike to see Sheepeater pictographs, then more rapids before settling into camp for the night.
Day 4 : On the river—Tappan Falls
Some of the Middle Fork's most thrilling rapids await on today's 18 miles of river: Tappan I, Tappan Falls, New Tappan, and Aparajo. We're likely to observe bighorn sheep grazing along the shore or see bald eagles, osprey, herons, river otters, and black bears. In the afternoon, we'll pass by Kaufman's Cave, where a Scottish prospector named Clarence Kaufman lived for about four years.
Day 5 : On the river—Impassable Canyon
Today you'll coast into the Impassable Canyon, and the most spectacular scenery you've seen yet. We'll also experience some serious whitewater: you'll run rapids like Driftwood, Haystack, Bernard Creek, Earthquake, Jack Creek, and Goalpost. In the afternoon, you might make the steep hike up to Veil Falls, or visit the homestead of Earl Parrot, a hermit who moved to the banks of the Middle Fork in the early 1900s and stayed for about 40 years. Once at camp, you'll be rewarded with a special last-night dinner and final campfire with your rafting companions.
Day 6 : Depart for home
A final half-day of rafting with the biggest rapids of the trip: Foreplay, Rubber, Rubber II, and Hancock. After a thrilling morning, you'll reach the confluence of the Middle Fork and the main Salmon River, where you'll leave your boats behind and board a bus for the ride back to Stanley (about a 4 hours drive). We'll stop for lunch along the way and arrive by late-afternoon. NOTE: You will need to arrange accomodation in Stanley tonight.
DATES: Best time to go: June - September Departures: Jun 14 - 19, 2015 Jul 9 - 14, 2015 Jul 17 - 22, 2015 Jul 25 - 30, 2015 Aug 10 - 15, 2015

George Butts
George, Georgie, or Jorge as the Spanish pronounce it was born in the great hospital of Saint Ford Truck, in room number one. George's fabulous parents found their way to secluded Challis, ID and raised their family there. He has been forever grateful to grow up around rivers and mountains and has taken advantage of all Challis had to offer including baseball, football, wrestling, soccer, hunting, fishing, skiing and, almost forgot, rafting the gorgeous Middle Fork of the Salmon River! His first adventure down the Middle Fork was on his tenth birthday with the eldest brother. He learned the ways of the water and discovered his first love, driving sweep boat. (AKA the Scow). Both brothers were following in the footsteps of their mother, who was the first women sweep boat driver on the Middle Fork! Eleven consecutive birthdays on the Middle Fork later, and other rivers conquered, George's greatest enjoyment is still driving Sweep Boat on the Middle Fork. Recently he graduated from Boise State University and enjoys his time exploring what his home state of Idaho has to offer and playing music with friends and family.
Taylor Wilcox
Taylor is another second generation river guide. His dad guided in the Grand Canyon on the Colorado during college. Taylor first rafted the Salmon when he was 5 and was hooked ever since. Growing up next to the Potomac river in Maryland, Taylor kayaked and spent a lot of time around the river. He started guiding on the Salmon after moving to Utah to go to collage. Now he splits up his year between rafting the Middle Fork in the summer, care-taking a Chalet at Alta in Utah and skiing everyday through the winter months, and traveling the world in search of the perfect hammock location.
Matt Jost
Matt Jost grew up on the rivers in Idaho. During his early years Matt spent the summers with his dad on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River as well as many other rivers throughout Idaho. In 2009 Matt graduated from Boise State University with a Bachelor's in Entrepreneurial Management and will graduate in May 2012 with a Masters of Arts in Adult and Post-Secondary Education. When he is not guiding or working on school, Matt enjoys just getting out in the great outdoors. If he had to choose whitewater kayaking would be his activity of choice, however rock climbing, backpacking, and alpine skiing are close competitors. Among other activities, Matt enjoys traveling around the world in search of an adventure. His travels have led him backpacking throughout Europe, climbing in Thailand, running numerous rivers throughout Nepal and teaching a kayaking/leadership course in Chile. While adventures are great fun, the opportunity to teach outdoor skills is a true passion of Matt's. Over the past five years Matt has been working as an outdoor educator within the university system. In the future he hopes to continue to teach outdoor education and explore more rivers throughout the world.

Old French Prison & Museum information
Lonely Planet review
Son La's Old French Prison & Museum was a French penal colony where anticolonial revolutionaries were incarcerated. It was destroyed by the 'off-loading' of unused ammunition by US warplanes after bombing raids, but is now partially restored. Rebuilt turrets stand guard over crumbling cells and a famous lone surviving peach tree, planted by To Hieu, a 1940s inmate.
Nearby the People's Committee office has a small museum, with local hill-tribe displays and good views of the prison.
