The social networking site Facebook has grown substantially in recent years, primarily because it gives users the chance to reconnect with old friends and distant family.
But that Facebook benefit could also be fueling relationship problems.
More than a third of divorce filings last year included the word "Facebook," according to a British survey by Divorce Online.
Some 80 percent of divorce lawyers also say they've seen a rise in cases related to social networking.
"Affairs happen with a lightning speed on Facebook," said K. Jason Krafsky, co-author of the book Facebook and Your Marriage. "On Facebook, they happen in just a few clicks."
Experts add that, even when extramarital affairs develop with no help from Facebook, people often turn to the site to let off steam which can cause suspicion among spouses.
How can couples ensure Facebook doesn't become a venue for temptation and infidelity?
Julie Germany, vice president for digital strategy at the DCI Group, offered some insight. Click play for her comments on this as well as the importance of a biblical foundation in marriage.

To evaluate a continuous, noninvasive measurement technique for pulsus paradoxus (PP) as an objective asthma severity indicator.
Prospective, masked assessment of the relationship between PP, peak expiratory flow rate, oxygen saturation, clinical scoring, and admission decisions.
An urban pediatric emergency department.
Children with acute asthma.
Standardized treatment per National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute guidelines.
Main Outcome Measures:
Peak expiratory flow rate, oxygen saturation, pulmonary index score, and masked disposition decision.
Significant positive correlations existed between PP and the pulmonary index score at the initial evaluation (r=0.44; P<.001) and after 30 minutes (r=0.51;P<.001) and 60 minutes (r=0.45; P<.001). Significant negative correlations existed between PP and the percent predicted peak expiratory flow rate (r=−0.31; P=.01) and the oxygen saturation (r=−0.30; P=.02). The mean PP was significantly greater in patients who were admitted for further treatment at all time points (P=.003 or P=.002). At 30 minutes after presentation, a PP greater than 15 mm Hg predicted admission for further treatment or relapse; the sensitivity was 0.42, the specificity was 0.89, and the likelihood ratio was 3.86.
Our measurement technique for PP is a useful objective indicator of the severity of asthma. Pulsus paradoxus correlates with clinical score, peak expiratory flow rate, and oxygen saturation. Furthermore, an elevated PP is associated with the decision to admit a patient for further treatment. These results suggest that this technique may represent a useful research tool for the assessment of acute, severe asthma. Further development of the technology may allow for a clinical application.Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 1996;150:914-918

A new government report warns that one single inhalation from a cigarette can trigger a heart attack and can cause damage to nearly every organ in the body.
"That one puff on that cigarette could be the one that causes your heart attack," said U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin.
There are 7,000 chemicals released in just one puff and the tobacco smoke begins poisoning the body immediately.
Even social smoking or breathing in second-hand smoke could be enough to trigger a heart attack.
Benjamin said kicking the habit will cause the body to start healing immediately.
"It's never too late to quit but the sooner you quit the better" she said. Even if you're 70, 80 years old and you're a smoker, there's still benefit from quitting."
An estimated 443,000 Americans die from tobacco-caused illnesses every year.

Woohoo! Congrats I'm hoping to have the same kind of experience next trip to my Dr, some time around June. She said if I drop 40lbs, she's willing to let me try to quit the blood pressure meds I'm on - I hate taking them. I dislike taking any drugs really. So far, I'm on my way.
For sure, keep your doctor!

I had no intention of going.
It is a somewhat momentous occasion in many adult lives and I originally had no interest in even participating in the graduation ceremony.
At the advice of my wife, however, I hesitantly agreed to go; boy, was I glad that I did.
This past Sunday - on Mother's Day, no less - I participated in my graduation ceremony at Marywood University in Scranton and walked to receive my master's degree in communication arts.
I suppose I didn't think I'd enjoy the occasion as much as I did because of the way I viewed the whole process while I was pursuing the degree.
Throughout the past two years, I had a specific frame of mind: get it done as quickly and efficiently as possible, so I could earn the degree and move on with my life.
I certainly wasn't attending college to create memories and develop new relationships - probably a poor way of viewing any experience. Despite this, I managed to achieve both without realizing I was doing so.
I look back on it now and wish I had relished more of the experience instead of viewing each semester as a "means to an end." I realized this past Sunday, however, how much those two years really did mean to me. In spite of myself, I had a rewarding and memorable college experience.
When I walked out into the arena with my fellow graduates and witnessed thousands of people cheering on their family members and friends, I couldn't help but be awed by the situation.
I felt like a rock star.
Granted, out of the thousands of people in attendance, only a handful of close family members were cheering for me, but at the time that meant nothing to the honor of the moment.
I looked up to pick out family members, and once I did, shot them a large smile and a big wave. These were just some of the people who support me unconditionally in everything that I do; in keeping with this, they even agreed to attend an obnoxiously long ceremony just to watch me walk across a stage and be handed a piece of paper.
I saw a wife who stood by me for years while I stressed over tests, papers and my thesis, undoubtedly dealing with the brunt of my temper tantrums. No matter how hard times got, even when my schooling meant we had to temporarily live apart, she was constantly my rock.
I saw my parents, who always pushed me to achieve more in education. My dad, who each day from elementary school through high school required me to report three new things I'd learned that day. My mom, who always reassured me I was doing the right thing by continuing my education, despite almost constant doubt of what it would all really mean.
My grandmother, who stood beaming in support of her grandson. I looked at her and thought of my grandfather, who was so proud of all of his grandchildren and their achievements. He would have given me a sturdy pat on the back, cleared his throat and simply said, "Yeah, good job, Ryan."
Lastly, I saw a father-in-law who decided it was important enough to sit through a three-hour ceremony despite hating every second of it, I'm sure. To his credit, I heard he only fell asleep once or twice.
When I saw all of this and experienced the wealth of emotions that came along with it, I knew my wife was right when she persuaded me to attend.
I suppose she gets it right at least some of the time.

M. Viktoria Wilson, the wife of Joel I. Wilson, a former Bay City businessman and Saginaw resident who in January was charged with running an extensive Ponzi scheme, has had her preliminary hearing rescheduled for Thursday, April 11, before Saginaw County District Judge A.T. Frank.
The hearing originally was scheduled for Tuesday, March 26.
Wilson is represented by attorney Floyd Kloc, who is on the Saginaw City Council.
Wilson was arraigned Thursday, March 14 on one count of lying to a police officer during the investigation of a crime, a felony punishable by up to four years in prison. The alleged lies relate to the investigation of her husband, Joel I. Wilson, where he was living and his contact information.
was arrested on Wednesday, March 13 by Saginaw Valley State University Police. According to her husband, Wilson is completing a degree at the university.
The state alleges she lied to Attorney General investigators during an interview on Jan. 8, when investigators were attempting to locate Joel Wilson, who is currently living in Germany.

A Connecticut–based instrumentalist with a huge breadth of vision, Paul Avgerinos walks the line between ambient meditation and melodic meandering, with hazy shimmering drones and slide guitars creating brainwave-slowing, timeless free-floating ease in weary listeners. Bliss is this Grammy–winner's twelfth album and marks a point of mastery and conviction without the need to prove his mettle. Each track is no more elaborate than it needs to be; the emphasis is on relaxation and the reward is 75 uninterrupted minutes of just what the title promises, enough precious bliss to make the album something like a family heirloom emerald you never knew was coming your way. It's always been yours, Avgerinos just helps you "own" it.
"Bliss Is" flows in with morphing drones, Avgerinos' cavernous bass violin, jangling accents, 12-string guitar harmonics, and warm synth beds that envelop the listener in snug stillness. "Contentment" takes slow, deep breaths of light and sound that come tingling on deep drone waves and then weave slowly out in long prana yoga-style breaths while "Fertile Soil of Peace" brings us even closer into the zone with drones that collide and create the sound like the snow of shimmering star-sky organs. Ambient nature sounds like running water and birdcalls are used judiciously but with effectiveness such as when they burble out under the synth and metal bowl drones of "Waters of Life." Using his palette of subtle guitar harmonics and sustained slide notes with synthesizer drones, "Stillness" finds Avgerinos coaxing time down to a motionless state of suspended animation. It bends, melts, and coasts into a warm, pulsing stop that beats like a heart and flows like the breath. Movements become slow and more meaningful, and the music reflects these gradual changes as synth drones morph slowly and shift like a kundalini serpent shedding its skin in the afternoon sunlight.
No matter how regularly one practices meditation, it can be hard to start. The ego resists, citing many pressing engagements or better offers. But we can always put on some music while we anxiously procrastinate and if we choose Bliss, Paul Avgerinos' music can lead us to where the true engagement lives, which is beyond the value of any jewel.

But OKC is where he calls 'Home' now, and with the OKC Thunder nearly unbeatable there, Durant would love to start an NBA Finals series there once again. The White/Photo Blue-Team Orange colorway of the Nike KD V is due up for a release tomorrow, so be on the lookout and secure yours now from on eBay.

In 1973, Gallery House Press, London, published Stephen Willats' essay The Artist as an Instigator of Changes in Social Cognition and Behaviour. Drawing upon developments in cybernetics, learning theory and computing, the essay proposed radically new ways for the artist to become a vector for sustainable change in society. Coinciding with the recent re-issue of the The Artist as an Instigator, this conversation between Willats and internationally renown curator and writer Hans Ulrich Obrist will consider the context in which the essay was written, with particular reference to Gallery House, a vital yet missing link in the history of conceptual art in London.

UNFCCC Publishes Inventory Reports
19 March 2010: The UNFCCC Secretariat has published reports submitted in 2009 of the individual reviews of the annual submission of Liechtenstein (FCCC/ARR/2009/LIE), France (FCCC/ARR/2009/FRA), and the US (FCCC/ARR/2009).
The Expert Review Team (ERT) concludes that Liechtenstein's inventory is generally in line with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Revised 1996 Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, IPCC good practice guidance and the IPCC Good Practice Guidance for Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), and is generally reported in accordance with the UNFCCC reporting guidelines. However the ERT identifies a need for further improvements in various areas, including: using country-specific emission factors (EFs) and activity data (AD); reporting of emissions from stationary combustion disaggregated by categories in manufacturing industries and construction; improving the transparency of the information provided in the national inventory report (NIR) on these emissions; correcting inconsistencies between the common reporting format (CRF) tables and national statistics regarding livestock population; and correcting of distribution of manure from livestock among animal waste management systems (AWMS) in line with changes in agricultural practices over time.
For France, the ERT finds the inventory is in line with the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines, the IPCC good practice guidance and the IPCC good practice guidance for LULUCF. The 2009 inventory submission is generally of high quality, and covers all sectors and almost all categories. The ERT indicates that only a reduced number of categories are still reported as not estimated (NE), which will be addressed in the next annual submission. France has provided a complete NIR and an almost complete set of CRF tables. However, the ERT recommends that France consider structuring its next NIR by following its annotated outline and the guidance contained therein. The ERT recommends carrying out the following improvements: implementing external reviews of the inventory as part of the quality assurance procedures; implementing a tier 2 key category analysis; improving the completeness of the inventory; and improving the transparency on reporting of the choice of EFs.
Regarding the US, the ERT finds the inventory to be generally in line with the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines, the IPCC good practice guidance and the IPCC good practice guidance for LULUCF. Additionally, the US has begun to incorporate new methodologies and parameters from the 2006 IPCC Guidelines in several sectors, in particular for categories in the industrial processes sector. The methodologies, country-specific methods and models used by the US to calculate its estimates have, in general, been presented in the NIR in a transparent way. The ERT notes that the US had used higher-tier methods for many key categories and that many recommendations made in previous review reports had been incorporated into the estimation methodologies and implemented in the NIR. However, a number of key methodological improvements have not yet been addressed. In addition, the US has still not implemented a standardized system for updating its carbon dioxide emission EFs for fuels, in particular in relation to the rather old EFs used for coal.

59th District
Watching our state elected officials at work is not for the faint of heart.
The end product of our legislative process far too often demonstrates why West Virginia's standard of living recently was named the worst in the nation. It also gives concerned citizens pause to ponder why Mountaineers are fleeing and our population is dwindling.
The following is only a partial list of dubious legislative proposals (bills) that survived "Cross-Over" Day (the last day for legislation to be approved by the originating Legislative Chamber) and which still are under consideration by the Legislature in the last few days of this year's 2014 session, which ends Saturday, March 8:
HB4393 is one example of more bureaucratic legislation that already has passed the House of Delegates. Purporting to protect the public safety of citizens from dangerous animals, it would set up a complex system of registration and fees for owners of "exotic" pets. If it was a late night cable television show, it would be titled "Bureaucrats Gone Wild!" Tell the Senate that we need less meddling bureaucracy, not more.
Another legislative proposal passed by the House of Delegates is HB4304. It is seemingly benign and bicyclist-friendly, mandating the creation of bicycle lanes on public roads. However, West Virginia currently has a severe highway funding crisis. We can't even properly maintain and repair our current transportation system. Let's tell the Senate to fix the potholes before we worry about bike paths.
61st District
We have reached the final week of session. Crossover Day was last Wednesday, so the House is now only considering legislation that has been passed over from the Senate. I'm proud to report that 22 bills I've sponsored have successfully passed out of the House this session, and I hope to see them complete legislation in the Senate.
One of those bills, HB4608, on which I am the lead sponsor, passed out of the House last week. As I mentioned last week, the bill would define "dyslexia" and "dyscalculia" in our public schools. This would allow students with dyslexia or dyscalculia to be recognized as students with a specific learning disability and taught in a way that meets their needs.
Last week, there was a particularly controversial bill debated in the House. The bill would prohibit women from getting an abortion after the 20th week of their pregnancy. I voted against this bill because I believe matters dealing with a woman's body should be left to the woman, her family and her physicians. Additionally, the bill is completely unconstitutional and I will not vote for any bill that goes against our country's or state's core foundations and that will not hold up in court.
Finally, HB4375 passed in the House, which would authorize the State Treasurer to set up and administer a voluntary employee retirement plan for certain employers and employees in this state. This bill will benefit employees of all ages, particularly our young professionals.
62nd District
The hope that this year's 60-day legislative session would be about job creation, about making the state more business friendly, is fading fast. Actually, the House leadership is pushing us in the opposite direction.
HB3156 passed the House. This bill gives unions the special status of not having to disclose communication. Since West Virginia has the lowest workforce participation rate in the nation at 50.2, this is very disappointing.
We grant that privileged status in only a few rare cases; to a lawyer and his client, to a minister and a parishioner, to the press and between a husband and a wife. We do not grant privileged status between a doctor and patient, between a teacher and student, or between an employer and an employee. Granting this special treatment to unions does not improve our business climate.
On the positive side, the trial lawyers' dream bill, HB4001, also called the "sue and settle" bill, was defeated on a 55-41 vote. A number of Democrats joined all the Republicans to defeat the bill.
As one delegate pointed out, changing the bill's name from "False Claims Act" to "Government Fraud Prevention" did not change the substance of the bill, where private citizens and their attorneys in presenting fraud cases would keep a substantial amount of the money rather than all of it going to the state when done through the attorney general's office. If the bill had passed, it would have further reinforced the perception that West Virginia is a "Judicial Hellhole."
63rd District
Wednesday was Crossover Day in the legislature, when a bill must be passed from one chamber of the legislature. This leads to a very long day in the House. We had more than 50 bills on third reading Wednesday.
Some of the interesting bills this week were HB4375 and HB4001. HB4001 failed on the House floor, an unusual occurrence in the legislature. This was a bipartisan vote to kill a bill referred to as "trial lawyer nirvana." The bill sought to go after any entity or individual who filed a false claim in the state. The key negative provision of the bill included no threshold for a claim to be warranted, creating a political fishing expedition from anyone. To put this in perspective, current purchasing law in the state requires a threshold of $25,000.
HB4375 was a bill that would allow the state treasurer to create a retirement plan for private employers. The treasurer would take $3 million to set up the program. In essence, the state government would be competing with other financial institutions for retirement investments. The glaring problem is on page 11 that states, "Moneys in the account may be invested, in whole or in part, by the treasurer as he or she determines." So the treasurer of the state would have sole discretion as to the investments of private employers who decide to participate. The state has a history of malfeasance in this office for mismanaging investment funds, leading to the impeachment of our state treasurer in 1989.
65th District
As Crossover Day is behind us, the hard work begins in the Senate to help bills that I've sponsored gain traction on that side of the capitol. Of the 54 bills I've sponsored, 25 have passed to the Senate and are now pending in Senate committees.
As a member of both the Education and Health and Human Resources committees, much of the legislation I sponsor aims to improve the lives of families and children. Two bills that I've been proud to champion this session are HB4510 and HB4608.
HB4510 establishes a set of goals for children in foster care. The bill would be added to the section of state law that provides a coordinated system of child welfare and juvenile justice for children in West Virginia. The bill sets forth goals that pertain to a foster child's safety and livelihood, including the following: protection by a family; specialized education if applicable; a safe home; assigned case worker; school of choice; participation in extracurricular activities; communication with biological parents if applicable; a bank or savings account; identification and other permanent documents; contact with siblings; and a meaningful transition plan for phasing out of foster care.
HB4606 defines dyslexia and dyscalculia according to federal IDEA regulations and makes the standard public education definition consistent with standards by the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. It ensures that all students receive the necessary and appropriate screenings and early assessments and provides student IEPs where necessary.
66th District
Despite intense opposition by horsemen and greyhound owners from across the state, HB4333, which would effect a 10 percent cut to the horsemen's purse fund and breeders' fund, as well as the casinos' capital reinvestment and modernization funds, passed the House by a vote of 72-25. While I certainly recognize the budget challenges West Virginia faces during the 2014 session and the need to balance our budget, I was unwilling to do so on the backs of our area horsemen who have already experienced significant purse and breeders' fund cuts due to the impact of increased competition from neighboring casinos on lottery revenues. This bill now advances to the Senate finance committee.
In a positive development, I was pleased to join 54 House colleagues in rejecting HB4001, legislation opposed by both the state Chamber of Commerce and the state Business and Industry Council. In the final analysis, House members concluded as I did that this proposed legislation would have duplicated multiple existing statutes and regulations that already protect state taxpayers from fraud and would have made it more difficult, if not impossible, for small companies to do business with the state. It also became apparent that the primary beneficiaries of this proposed legislation would not have been the taxpayers, but, rather, plaintiff attorneys and their clients who would have been able to file lawsuits without first exhausting administrative remedies. While I certainly don't condone fraud against our state government, this legislation would have duplicated existing law.
67th District
I am disappointed that the Government Fraud Prevention Act, HB4001, failed to pass the House of Delegates this week. This act fought government fraud and would have dedicated funds recovered to volunteer fire departments, secondary roads and Title 19 waivers for senior citizens. This law has been used successfully in more than 30 states to recover money that has been stolen and scammed from the state, county and municipal government. What is difficult to understand is the outright dishonesty that was used to defeat the bill. The forces that fought to defeat the bill claim that it would be bad for business in West Virginia. The reality is that the only businesses who would be impacted are those that defraud the government. It could have had an important impact on giant pharmaceutical companies who are ripping off Medicaid.
In the Judiciary Committee, we continue to work on what we generally refer to as the "Water Bill." This bill does three primary things: first, it identifies water resources and conservation issues; second, it regulates above-ground storage tanks and third, it regulates "zones of critical concern" for public water systems. We have rightly invested far more time on this bill than any other bill in two years. I know that the current bill will be significantly amended before passage to eliminate loopholes. I have received a lot of e-mail from back in Jefferson County and it is uniformly in support of tighter regulation.

Brain McCann Is Looking to Go to A Contender
Free agents can sign anywhere as of midnight last night, and one of the biggest free agents on the market is Brian McCann. And for good reason: he?s a good catcher who can hit a ton. What?s not to like? Many teams, including the Yankees, Red Sox and Rangers will be after him. He?s going to make bank.
Of course his free agency is also going to bring two free agency memes that I have grown to love in some twisted way. The first one is on display in this Daily News story:
McCann?s agent, B.B. Abbott, said Monday that the Bronx is ?certainly a place that is on Brian?s radar. How could it not be? You?ve got an historic franchise and a great park, knowledgeable fans and a chance to win, which is what every guy plays the game for. From Brian?s standpoint, it would be an attractive place to listen to.?
That?s actually pretty strong as far as these sorts of endorsements go, likely because Abbott knows that the Yankees will be bidders. But it?s also a species of public comment about free agents we often see this time of year, and which often leads to fan and talk radio craziness.

APPSI Discussion: A National Information Framework
In October 2012 APPSI published a discussion paper on its proposals for the development of a National Information Framework.
In 2010 the Government published a national physical infrastructure plan to ensure that a sound physical infrastructure - roads, railways, utilities and so on - would be maintained in the future. The Government also took major steps in easing access to the wealth of public sector information (PSI) through the Open Data Initiative but its approach was not as strategic as that followed for the national physical infrastructure.
Various studies project large economic and social benefits from easier access to such information and the exploitation of new technology in mining it to provide new or better services. APPSI had been considering the strategic dimension to PSI re-use since 2010 and concluded that developing an information infrastructure alongside a physical infrastructure offered a relatively inexpensive additional way of growing the economy and helping society.
It summarised its views on what should be done in a paper entitled A National Information Framework for Public Sector Information and Open Data.

Carved by Water
The Salmon River, Forever the Wild Soul of this Great State of Idaho
Overlooking Stanley, Idaho as the "River of No Return' rolls past, making its long journey toward the sea.
Paul Richer
(page 1 of 2)
Drive north out of Wells, Nevada, and it's a straight shot, no more than four hours, into the soul of Idaho. At first blush, it seems that the Great Basin—an enormous high desert starkly distinguished by what it lacks—will go on forever, and in every imaginable direction. This is, after all, the northernmost tier of a desert that covers five percent of the United States. Before long, though, the waterless earth gives way to the Snake River Plain, a giant crescent of fertile, alluvial terrain cradling southern Idaho. Cross the river at Twin Falls, and crops spring from the land: corn, potatoes, alfalfa. Soon, the earth begins to roll in waves, small towns appear, dots on a line: Shoshone, Bellevue, Hailey and Ketchum. Trees begin to populate the land. Gone is the sea of sagebrush and volcanic rock. Suddenly the gentle rolls of the earth push up toward the sky and the hills are now mountains.
The road follows the Big Wood River, winding up into the far reaches of Galena Summit at 8,701 feet. Travel up over the pass and there it unfolds as wide and grand as any Western vista—Salmon River country—14,000 square miles of wild, pristine terrain, drained by the river the Northern Shoshoni called "Tom Agit Pah," or Big Fish Water. Bethine Church, 88, widow of Senator Frank Church, for whom 2.36 million acres of Idaho wilderness was named, describes this land, a slice of which she grew up on 48 miles from the headwaters, as simply "…a piece of God's green Earth."
Left to right: Fly fisherman, Idaho River Journeys; Riding the bull, Campfire, Mackay Wilderness River Trips.
When it comes to rivers, it's a bit of a fool's errand to pinpoint beginnings. Rivers are cyclical and variable and don't always conform to linear thinking. Nonetheless, for those with the urge, it is an easy drive from Galena Summit to Forest Service Road 215. Follow that to its end, and then begin to hike. It's easy walking as the three-foot- wide river thins out, branches into its tiniest capillaries, then suddenly, it's like nothing more than a network of wet areas, small groundwater sources here, then over there, and quickly the exercise begins to feel like finding the end of a rainbow. Perhaps a more interesting realization is that one can cup his hands in these headwaters, gather up a handful of the Salmon River, and know that water, within a couple of weeks, will reach the Pacific Ocean more than 900 miles away. Along the way, this river—the central artery of the state—will be filled by hundreds of streams big and small as it rolls north and west 425 miles to the Snake River, then on to the Columbia and the coast. These tributaries include the Yankee Fork, East Fork, Pahsimeroi, Lemhi, North Fork, Middle Fork, South Fork, and Little Salmon Rivers.
It's the long journey that the river's namesake salmon make as young smelts from their birthplaces in Redfish Lake, Alturas Lake, and other stream beds in the Sawtooth Valley. They travel downriver through towns that have sprung up on its banks—Sawtooth City, Stanley, Clayton, Challis, Salmon, Shoup, Riggins, White Bird, then on to the Snake River, Lewiston, Astoria, and the Pacific Ocean. After living for just a few years in the ocean, these same fish journey back up nearly a thousand river miles to their birthplace, where they spawn and then die—a cycle completed.
An Enduring Presence
Anyone who has spent any time along a river has felt the ease rushing water brings to the soul. It is indiscriminate to walk of life, age, or riches. Part of the reason why might lie in the enduring presence of a river like the Salmon. Relative to our lifetimes, the river is a constant. It was there before us and will likely be there long after us.
Our relationship to this river is just a tiny fraction of its long geologic history. Geologists estimate that the Salmon River began forming two million years ago during the glacial and interglacial periods of the last Ice Age. The central force in our lives, gravity, acted on the most basic and plentiful of substances, water, to give rise to the thousands of streams and rivers that began to sculpt the canyons of the Salmon as we know them today.
And now consider that the earliest known inhabitants of the Salmon River country were ancestors of the Northern Shoshoni and Nez Perce Native Americans. Archeological studies of arrowheads and other tools place the earliest inhabitants in the canyon 8,500 years ago. The Shoshoni lived primarily in the northern areas in the Lemhi Valley and on into the Salmon River country proper. The Nez Perce were more clustered around the Middle Fork.
To put this in perspective, if one were to normalize the river's flowing life to a single year, man's 8,500 years on it would be the equivalent of 37 hours. Like a rich family heritage, an old river puts our lives in context, provides a sense of stability and permanence. Although our time is limited, there is a structure around us that endures. That brings some level of comfort.
River outfitters have some perspective on this. Joe Daly, who owns Echo River Trips with Dick Linford, has for 40 years taken thousands of people down dozens of rivers, often the Middle Fork and Main Salmon. As Daly sees it, "When our river guests step off the bus at put-in . . . Their new guideposts are breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with the sun and moon . . . rounding bend after bend in the river, we can see their other world worries wash away . . . For a time, they are set free from their everyday concerns."
The European-Americans Move West
At the turn of the 19th century, the French controlled New Orleans and access to the Mississippi River, a major artery of commerce for U.S. traders. President Thomas Jefferson, concerned about the possibility of Napoleon denying the United States access to the port and river system, authorized James Monroe to purchase the city for $10 million. Napoleon, in turn, offered to sell not just New Orleans, but the entire Louisiana Territory for $15 million. Monroe agreed.
And because he knew little about what he had actually bought, in 1803, Jefferson charged Meriwether Lewis and William Clark with exploring up the Missouri River—which takes a diagonal path right through what was then the Louisiana Territory—and ultimately to find a path to the Pacific Ocean. By August 1805, Clark had reached the Salmon River just below North Fork, Idaho. In attempting to find an easy water route to the ocean, the explorer traveled downriver as far as Pine Creek rapid, at which point surveying the rapid and cliffs along the river downstream with his Shoshoni guide Old Toby, he decided the river was not passable.
Furs and Gold
Although the Corps of Discovery turned back away from the river at this point, the journey brought attention to the area, and soon pioneers seeking furs and gold began poking their way into these new lands. In 1824, Alexander Ross and members of the Hudson's Bay Company traveled over Galena Summit, down the river to Challis, trapping animals. And in 1863, John Stanley, a gold prospector, explored the Stanley area and on into Bear Valley, near the headwaters of the Middle Fork.
(Clockwise from top left) The Frank Church family poses for their annual Christmas card in the Sawtooth Mountains, circa 1968; A ROW Adventures guide rows guests downriver;Idaho River Journeys guests enjoy a calm section of the Middle Fork; Dan Bentsen of Helfrich Outfitters running Pistol Creek Rapid in a boat that he built.
It was the allure of gold that pushed new explorations down the Main Salmon itself. With prospecting giving way to hard rock mining, stamp mills and other large pieces of equipment were needed downstream. In the late 1880s, boatmen like "Cap" Guleke built 32-foot-long wooden scows with oars front and back to ferry supplies from Salmon to Shoup and other mining settlements on the river. But it wasn't until 1896 that Cap Guleke made the first documented downriver passage of the Salmon River from Salmon to Riggins, nearly 165 miles. Given that there was no way to get the boats back to Salmon, Guleke and those who followed him simply sold the boats for lumber (typically $5) and took horses back to Salmon. A river moniker was born, "River of No Return."
The Modern Era: Adventure and Outfitting
Where the river once provided sustenance for Native Americans, then opportunity and wealth for the pioneering trappers and placer miners, after the turn of the 20th century, it became a nexus of adventure for outfitters and their clients.
And if there is a first family of outfitting on the Salmon River, it is the Smith family. Clyde Smith and his teenage son, Don, built their first wooden scow in 1930 and ran it from North Fork down the Salmon to Long Tom Rapid, where they wrecked just before the confluence with the Middle Fork. This became the site of the family home they would build. Then in 1945, Clyde and Don took the Army Corps of Engineers down the river in a wooden scow to survey it. Along with them, they took a 17-foot boat with a 22-horsepower engine to ferry surveyors up and down the river. This was the nascent beginnings of the Salmon River jet boat business.
The Smith family, running its "Salmon River Boat Trips" out of the North Fork Store, created for the first time an outfitting business, taking fishermen and hunters into the river corridor. Don's sons, Bob, Jack and Ken, in turn, all grew up on the river and all became outfitters. The Smiths were also innovators. It was in 1948 that the Smiths first took a party down the Salmon in a welded aluminum boat, a material more forgiving than the green-wood scows used up to that time. Bob Smith, who died five years ago, was particularly adept at building and navigating boats. His daughter, Bobbi, now 40 and working at a guest ranch on the Middle Fork, says her dad, "never wanted to go anywhere else, this was his life. He was a boatman, a hardworking, good person, just a sweetheart." Bobbi describes how her Grandmother Marian, when she saw Bob's intense interest in the river life, sent him off to Seattle to learn how to make boats. And make boats he did—welded aluminum boats with motors that could navigate upriver.
Bob and his wife Jill built a home at Hughes Creek in North Fork, Idaho. And after working out of several camps on the river, including the old Guth camp at Barth Creek, Bob eventually built the China Bar Lodge at Lemhi Creek on the Salmon. Over the years, he earned the reputation as one of the most skilled boatmen on the river. With his motorized aluminum boats and up river "jet backs," Bob put to rest the moniker "River of No Return." It was the beginning of a generation of boatmen working the river—up and down—taking guests into the wilderness to hunt, fish and sightsee. But Bob's knowledge and skill were legendary, once running a scow loaded with a VW bus down the Middle Fork from Dagger Falls to the Flying B Ranch, 67 miles through class III and IV rapids. For Bobbi, who spent many of her young days on her dad's lap steering a jet boat, the connection to the river has passed through four generations. "I belong here, I guess." Thinking about it for a moment, she adds, "It's really like a fairy tale, living on the river."
A Vision for those to Come
Perhaps the most significant result of the outfitting era was that wider swaths of people began to see and appreciate the rivers. The rivers became a place people valued for the restorative experience alone.
One of the first people to recognize that value and work to preserve it for generations to follow was Senator Frank Church, who represented Idaho from 1957 to 1981. Church, who died of cancer in 1984, grew up in Boise. It is there where he met and became friends with his eventual wife, Bethine Clark (Church). Bethine, who turned 88 in February, remembers how early experiences on and near the river were so formative for her and her husband. She recalls her early life on the Robinson Bar Ranch, a 128-acre family homestead along the Salmon River near Stanley, "Pop used to catch salmon at the bend by the house. They were so thick there you could see them flashing and sparkling in the sun … And Frank just loved the ranch. He used to visit during summers in high school."
And then Bethine remembers their first trip down the Middle Fork in the summer of 1963. She remembers it vividly because she, Senator Church and their 5- and 14-year-old sons had just met Vice President Lyndon Johnson at the Idaho National Laboratory. The family left that meeting and drove directly to the river put-in. It was a definitive experience for the young senator. "His watching the salmon on our old homestead, then seeing the Middle Fork, Frank thought there had to be other places like this. And that they should be protected."
Senator Church's sponsoring of the Wilderness Act of 1964 "was just the beginning," as Bethine says. It was not a popular position to take, particularly in the Gem State. Many Idahoans opposed the Act because, as she explains, "Many thought 'Wilderness' was for rich Easterners. 'Politically,' Frank said to me, 'I need this bill like a hole in the head.' But it was terribly important to him."
Nonetheless, the Act passed and Church went on to sponsor the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, of which the Middle Fork was one of the original eight rivers designated (the Main Salmon was added in 1980.) It was also in 1980 that Church played a pivotal role in establishing the River of No Return Wilderness, at 2.36 million acres, the second largest wilderness area (just behind California's arid Death Valley) in the lower 48 states.
A Changing Relationship
The rivers—Middle Fork and Main Salmon—draw thousands of visitors now; 10,000 per year on the Middle Fork, 8,500 per year on the Main Salmon. This is not to mention the countless hikers, horseback riders and backcountry pilots. It is home to bighorn sheep, mountain goats, mountain lions, wolves, bears, bald eagles and osprey, trout and, of course, salmon. It is a wonderland bastion of life that stretches over more land than most people can imagine.
It was a true vision that Church saw to fruition. Just weeks before his death, Senator Church was told the wilderness area he had helped create would bear his name: "The Frank Church – River of No Return Wilderness." Church, who had a protracted battle with pancreatic cancer, told his wife Bethine, as she recalls, "'It was worth dying so long for.'"
And so this great wild river and country has changed over time, not so much in its raw nature, but more in our perception of it. Where once we pulled things from the river, now it gives back to us. What it offers is variable and personal. But it is clear that days spent on the Salmon River change people. Brent Estep, owner of Mackay Wilderness River Trips, has seen the changes over a 30-year career. "Observing the positive effect the river has on people reinforces my belief that people need to escape the hustle and bustle of our everyday electronic, fossil-fueled world … My guests tell me time and time again, 'Now I understand why this place is so special and why it is so important to protect.'"
Having spent much of my adult life on rivers—as kayaker, boatman, father introducing children to them—I've puzzled over the hold a great river like the Salmon has over us. Sit idle by a wild river like the Middle Fork—the water clear as air, carving the earth as it has for nearly 2 million years—and one feels more in the moment of life than any other place I know. It is a place to remember what it is to be wild, to witness the complexity of nature in balance, the natural cycles of life, all of which we can become divorced from in modern living.
And while a river brings us to the moment of living, it also binds us to time past and future. Its constancy allows us to imagine times before and after us, and that places us securely in a continuous arc that can be reassuring. It is particularly important to us now as the great force of the world seems to be to break up our experience into digitalized bits, so that anything and everything can be pulled from context, repurposed, magnified, or retouched. If our lives feel disjointed, this is part of the reason. Time on a river stitches the pieces back together, if only for a while.
In the end, 2.36 million acres is just a number. To truly comprehend the vast beauty of this place, one need see it from the air—in a small plane, a four-seater that lumbers over the terrain. Fly from a small strip in Challis or Stanley, up and into the wilderness. One can see nothing but an endless stretch of green. For all you can tell, this is the skin of the universe, pocked with grey and pink granite and the whiskery char of past forest fires. Before long, you will see the Salmon or one of its tributaries making a circuitous path to the ocean. These rivers, transporting life to a thirsty land, form the great wrinkles on the undulating visage. From this vantage point, when the sun hits the river just right, great bursts of light blaze from below—it could be the silver flash of salmon from past times or just the perfect reflection off pristine water. But the world is as it has been from the beginning. Life is fresh and glistens and goes on forever.
Behold this. It is something to hold close in the mind's eye, simple and weightless, a talisman to carry us through.

In round one, each crew put a unique spin on an iconic '80s dance move. Super Cr3W got rave reviews from the judges for their humpty-hump while SoReal Cru's running man got mixed reviews. Judge JC Chasez called Andrew out for being slow with his hands, and Lil' Mama said, "I expected more." Fanny Pak danced horizontally and ended their routine by pulling out pictures of their moms with '80s hairstyles. The judges loved it and JC called Glenda their "secret weapon" and "the most athletic female of the season."
After learning that they were the first team to make it to the finale, SoReal Cru kicked off the second round, which had crews to riffing on classic '80s movies, with an interpretation of the broom dance from Breakin'. Super Cr3W performed in flannel shirts and jeans for a tribute to Footloose. "You showed the world what you were all about," Judge Shane Sparks said, acknowledging D-Knock's butterfly kick. Once again, Fanny Pak pulled off a show-stopping performance, this time to "Maniac" from Flashdance. Tiffani and Matt impersonated the judges, who cracked up when Matt, playing JC, held up a sign that said, "it wasn't clean," only to have Tiffani, as Lil' Mama, hit him on the head, forcing Matt to switch it to "you are true artists."
"That was crazy!" Lil' Mama said. "Creative, theatrical, humorous and an entertaining performance from beginning to end." JC commended Bo for nailing a tough double pirouette and the girls for executing leg extensions. "I've enjoyed watching you guys," he said. "Every time you take the stage, I get excited."
But after two fantastic performances -- and a season of creativity -- it seems the finale needs at least one break-dancing crew. So, Fanny Pak was sent home to L.A. The crew's choreographer Matt struggled to hold back tears just long enough to thank the crowd. "This whole thing was the best experience of our lives," he said, before taking one last dig: "America, vote right next week." -- Madeleine Desmond
Tell us: Will you miss Fanny Pak? Which crew will win America's Best Dance Crew?

Don't count Tony Stewart among the hundreds of people in NASCAR who were thrilled to see Dale Earnhardt Jr. end his long winless streak Sunday.
While other rival drivers were happy to see Earnhardt finally win, Stewart, who finished second at Michigan International Speedway, didn't want to celebrate the milestone victory.
"(It's) no different to anybody else that does it," Stewart said. "It's not a national holiday, guys."
Stewart then added sarcastically: "This morning, they were celebrating his fourth anniversary of his last win, so I guess we are all in a state of mourning now because he's broke that streak now, so I don't know what we are all supposed to think."
Earnhardt, who had not won a race since 2008 and was riding a 143-race winless streak, led 95 of 200 laps and beat Stewart to the checkered flag by 5.3 seconds.
"Dale had the fastest car all day," Stewart said. "He could run pretty much the same pace the whole run. We could do it for about the first half of the run and then we would lose pace."
Asked what he needed to catch Earnhardt at the end and challenge for the win, Stewart said, "A lot less lapped traffic that were racing right in the groove for no reason."

President's Message
Police Officer Suicide: It's Time to Talk About It
Walter A. McNeil, Chief of Police, Quincy Police Department, Quincy, Florida
One component of officer safety that is often overlooked is police officer suicides.
While the law enforcement profession often entails a number of dangers, officer suicide, specifically, is a serious and growing matter. The consequences of even a single incident are devastating to a department. One of my priorities as IACP president is to focus, from an international policing perspective, on preventing police officer suicides. According to the 2010 Badge of Life Report, there were 145 police officer suicides in the United States that year, which is an alarmingly higher rate than that of the general population.
And yet, agencies and individual officers looking for guidance and assistance will find scant resources specifically devoted to law enforcement suicide prevention or mental health. Some states and individual agencies have robust prevention and intervention programs while others have none. Further, in many cases, suicide and mental health are virtually verboten topics, seen as signs of weakness contrary to the strong, fearless image law officers are expected to project. As a result, many agencies and officers have nowhere to turn in a time of crisis. There is a great need in the field to advance research, evaluation, and advocacy on the topics of coping with officer suicide, preventing officer suicide, and maintain officer mental well-being and to address inconsistencies in agency preparedness. It is time for a coordinated, national effort.
The IACP is committed to action on suicide prevention as a critical component of officer safety. Building on the good work of our Police Psychological Services Section completed many years ago and the work completed by the Defense Military Chiefs Section, I asked IACP Second Vice President Yost Zakhary to lead the association's efforts to take a deeper look at the tragedy of suicides by police officers. I am proud to report that the IACP is steadfastly addressing this issue.
The IACP recently partnered with the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, the number one public-private partnership pushing the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention. In conjunction with the National Action Alliance, the IACP will continue to support long-term suicide prevention programs. The goal is to improve the physical and mental safety precautions for our officers—both in the United States and around the world. With the vast resources of the National Action Alliance and the IACP, this partnership will work tirelessly to increase prevention efforts, combat social stigmas, and raise awareness. Establishing accessible resources for individual officers and agencies will provide the means to recognize signs and symptoms and foster public dialogue. With many people—especially in the law enforcement community—viewing mental health as a taboo issue, it is imperative that we work to dispel these myths and reach out to officers who invest in our communities every day.
The subject of police officer suicide will also be extensively covered at the 119th Annual IACP Conference in San Diego, California, September 29–October 3. In addition to regular workshops, I want to personally invite you to attend a plenary session titled, "Let's Not Talk About It: Addressing Myths about Police Suicide and Implementing a National Initiative for Suicide Awareness and Prevention." The plenary, which will be held on Tuesday, October 2, at 1 p.m. in room 6A of the San Diego Convention Center, will offer an open, public dialogue and a national initiative for prevention of police suicides. The panelists—Bernard K. Melekian, director of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services Office; John M. Violanti, PhD, associate research professor, University at Buffalo, State University of New York; and Andy O'Hara, founder, director of research and development, Badge of Life—will address suicide from a preventive perspective, dispelling myths and focusing on mental health and wellness.
For immediate resources, I encourage you to view the IACP's Preventing Law Enforcement Officer Suicide CD-ROM, which represents a baseline of best practice information. The video is available free of charge on the IACP's website.
I also encourage you to visit the website "In Harm's Way: Law Enforcement Suicide Prevention" at http://policesuicide.spcollege.edu (accessed August 2, 2012). It provides several resources to aid law enforcement executives, provide training to their departments, reduce the stigma associated with seeking help, and encourage officers to create a support system for each other. Further, the IACP will be participating in this project's Law Enforcement Suicide Prevention Conference in November. I urge you to seek information about this important event.
What I hope will come of our focus on this important topic is an increase in dialogue among law enforcement leaders and officers. By working together to raise our awareness and our understanding of suicide and mental health issues, my hope is that we can prevent any future law enforcement suicides—if we demand zero tolerance, it will benefit our officers, agencies, and the communities we serve. ♦

Contact Movie
Contact (1997), a movie starring Jodie Foster, is based on
's bestselling novel (1985) of the same name (not
The story is about the first contact the human race has with extraterrestrials (via radio signals) and touches on how science, religion, and politics respond to the news of the signal and what it carries.
The movie was directed by Robert Zemeckis, who also directed Forrest Gump.
and his wife Ann Druyan were co-producers of the movie, but Carl died before the movie was completed (hence the film's dedication "For Carl").
Due to the time constraints the movie version has a fair amount of stuff left out that was in the book (the movie version has only one traveler instead of six, and we never witness the perfect circle found within the number pi.) This really doesn't detract from the film, as what's left is used to convey the story very well. Even with the slimmed down timeline and the smaller cast of characters, the movie still clocks in at 153 minutes.
Stock footage of President Bill Clinton (speaking about NASA exploration of Mars) was integrated into the film to great effect.
In 1996 (a week after
died) Francis Ford Coppola sued the estate of
claiming that the novel and film are based off his idea from 1975 for a TV show called First Contact. Carl was contracted to develop the script for the show but instead developed a book based on the idea, which led to the film. A Los Angeles judge tossed out the lawsuit ruling that the statute of limitations had run out.
The movie has an official web site at:
There's also a pretty comprehensive review of it at
When the movie was originally released on DVD, it sold out quite easily, likely due to all the extras packed in.

text: In Prose's fiction, no one is safe: Her subject is human weakness, and her approach is no-holds-barred. Her new novel is the best kind of social satire: razor-sharp, funny and merciless. Vincent Nolan, 32, an ex-skinhead sporting SS tattoos, walks into the Manhattan offices of World Brotherhood Watch, a human rights foundation headed by Holocaust survivor Meyer Maslow, and declares, "I want to help you guys save guys like me from becoming guys like me." Meyer, whose commitment to changing "one heart at a time" doesn't extend to having neo-Nazis as houseguests, sends Vincent home with his chief fund-raiser, Bonnie Kalen, a single mom with two sons. Vincent quickly becomes the foundation's poster boy, "Mr. Changed Man," and the darling of self-congratulatory liberal donors. Prose skewers the publicity circus with relish but has even more fun exposing her characters' insecurities—the snark, wimp or egomaniac within. Whether Vincent has truly changed remains an open question, but Prose leaves no doubt that the fragile impulse to do good is all too easily overwhelmed by vanity.

Life As We Know It: October 28, 2013
"GOOD MORNING, ladies and gentlemen. This is your pilot speaking. Remember a few weeks back when that smart-aleck Tom Walton outlined his frustrations with the airlines and especially fellow air travelers and asked you to do the same? Well, it was a suggestion that really took off, so to speak. How am I supposed to make a living up here? I hate that guy."
All right, Captain, enough venting from the cockpit. It's time to vent from back here in coach, aka the Sardine Can, and boy, did people ever vent. I thought I had assembled a pretty impressive collection of incidents of bad behavior by the flying public, conduct by inconsiderate passengers that I had personally witnessed after years of flying commercial. Turns out you've seen a lot of behavior I missed, and for that I'm grateful.
Clint from Toledo related watching a man become increasingly loud and argumentative at the boarding lounge counter. He demanded specific seats for him and his wife and children. When he and his family boarded they were not seated where he wanted. He demanded that the elderly couple assigned to the seats he wanted be moved immediately. They were – to first class. Serves him right.
Martin from Sylvania resents fellow travelers of a certain, shall we say, girth and heft who are issued seats in the emergency exit rows and who he's convinced would be of no help in an emergency. Martin also remembers when men dressed up in suits and ties and the ladies wore dresses and heels to fly.
Charlotte of Bowling Green agreed with my frequent unhappiness with the person in the seat ahead, saying she learned the hard way to hold on to her hot tea when the traveler just ahead abruptly pushes his seat all the way back. Sometimes, she says, she just wants to smack the guy in the head. Please Charlotte, while I am sympathetic, I cannot condone violence. Flying, Charlotte adds, just isn't fun any more.
Paul, a businessman from Sun Valley, Calif., reserved his disgust for the folks in the baggage claim area. Fellow passengers stake out a spot along the carousel and block others from stepping up to retrieve their bags, he laments. He thinks the airlines should paint a line on the floor encircling the carousel and require travelers to stand behind it until their bags emerge.
The number one complaint of Sharon of Henderson, Nevada? Nobody, she says, should have to sit elbow to elbow with a fellow passenger scarfing down a Big Mac. "You have no choice but to smell it, which can either make you so hungry you want to gnaw on your seatbelt or so nauseous you want to throw up."
And please, she pleads, clean up after yourself when you're finished in the bathroom. How hard is it, she wonders, to wipe the sink with a paper towel and "leave the world a better place for the next guy."
But you know what? I blame the airlines, from the big boys like American, US Air, and Delta to the little flying tubes we call Air Puddle-Jumper, for at least some of this bad behavior. Charlotte is right. Flying just isn't fun any more. As our deregulated airlines contract and merge, cancel flights, shrink the seats, and eliminate amenities and service, and passengers respond in inconsiderate and ill-tempered ways, it's clear that the golden age of flying is history.
Will it ever come back? I think you'll see the New England Journal of Medicine swimsuit issue before that happens.

A storied old Dallas retail center is being redeveloped into a new project.
Owners of the European Crossroads shopping center on Northwest Highway near Love Field say they plan to tear down old buildings on the property and construct a new retail and service station complex.
Built in the early 1970s, European Crossroads was planned as an 11-acre theme shopping center. The buildings were patterned after historic structures in England, France, Italy, Spain and Germany.
There were cobblestone streets, fountains, a bell tower and statuary.
At certain times of the day fake snow would rain down in the Switzerland section of the village.
The complex was originally designed by one of the architects of Disneyland.
But by the 1990s the bloom had worn off European Crossroads and the project fell into disrepair.
Parts of the center closest to Northwest Highway were torn down years ago.
Now the rest of it is set for replacement.
Owner Northwest Overlake LLC says a new RaceTrac service station will be built on part of the site.
And more than 50,000 square feet of new retail is planned for construction.
Demolition is expected in the next few months.
ICB Properties is handling the development, marketing and leasing consulting work.
