What We Do
The National Geographic Society focuses its efforts on ocean conservation through the Pristine Seas program. Pristine Seas is an exploration, research, and media project to find, survey, and help protect the last wild places in the ocean.
These pristine places are unknown by all but long-distance fishing fleets, which have started to encroach on them. It is essential that we let the world know that these places exist, that they are threatened, and that they deserve to be protected. Learn More

Why We Need Marine Reserves
Ninety percent of the large predators in the ocean are gone and their populations have collapsed. The reason for this is that we have taken too many fish out of the sea, and we keep taking more before the remaining populations are able to reproduce.
Watch this video where Mel, the "very weird" fish, will show you how marine reserves can help fish populations recover, and why we need many more.

Catch a bus from outside the site. City break or countryside adventure, the choice is yours if you camp at our Oxford Club campsite. Located just a mile outside the centre of Oxford, the campsite is the perfect base for exploring the magnificent city of dreaming spires. Camping in Oxford doesn't get any better than this. It's hard to believe this pleasant bolt hole is so close to the city. It's restful ambience makes it ideal to kick back and relax after a day pounding the streets of Oxford. Trees line this well laid out site, pitches are level and a good range of facilities are available. Walk, cycle or catch the bus (there's a stop right outside the site) into the city and you'll find plenty to see and do. Don't miss the University Museum of Natural History (the most complete remains of any single dodo are here) and the Pitt Rivers and Ashmolean Museums, the latter has 67 galleries to explore. A guided walking tour is the best way to see the University colleges and botanic Garden. There are themed tours too including an Inspector Morse and a Harry Potter Tour. And a punt on the River Cherwell is a must. The countryside around Oxford has its own delights. Not to be missed is the magnificent Baroque house – Blenheim Palace and its fine parkland in Woodstock. The Oxfordshire Museum is here too and tells the story of Oxfordshire through its galleries and exhibitions. The Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens is also worth a visit. This really is the best of all the campsites in Oxford. Worth Noting This city centre site can be a little noisy at times. Entrance is shared with Go Outdoors. There is no motorhome service point. Electricty supply is 10amp. Oxford site operates on restricted pitches through the winter, booking is essential. WiFi 100% coverage cannot be guaranteed due to rural location, weather conditions and changing flora. These can cause variable signal strength. Hotspots are available. Prices.

Charlton,Ripley. (Club Member) stayed Oct 2015 This review is for Oxford There are no disabled showers available. When booking I asked to be near them, that was the time to tell me they didn't exist, not upon arrival. Most disabled people have difficulty standing and having some stools in the showers would have been helpful, as it was I was unable to use them. Having an extra wide toilet cubicle doesn't suffice in my opinion to make in a disabled one. having made the above negative observations, I must record how very helpful the staff were, and having a 'Park and Ride' so close must be a bonus for fit campers, although unfortunately of no use to me and my wife.

It was easy to get to from the A34, and we walked into the centre of the city along the river path in less than 40mins. Despite the facilities block being a bit tired due to the site lease restrictions, it was always clean and there was plenty of hot water. Some reviewers have commented about road and rail noise but we didn't find it a problem. It's a city site, not the middle of the countryside and its convenient location for exploring Oxford is ideal. We would recommend without hesitation.

Henry County sent 47.2 percent, or 67, of its 2010-11 seniors to college in the 2011-12 school year compared to 60.2 percent of the state, said the report compiled by the Kentucky Center for Education and Workforce Statistics (KCEWS).
Henry County Sheriff Danny Cravens and members of the Henry County Fiscal Court butted heads over the budget for 2014, which Cravens ulitmately refused to sign.

"We met with the sheriff and over the course of a few days, the sheriff agreed to follow our (fiscal court's) personnel policy," Magistrate Nick Hawkins said.

A 24-year-old Port Royal man has been killed in a 5:27 a.m. Friday crash on Highway 193, according to Kentucky State Police.
Authorities identify the driver as Derick Ouellette as the investigation by Trooper Zack Morris continues.
The preliminary investigation shows the vehicle had been traveling north on Highway 193 when it left the road, possibly due to wet road conditions.
The vehicle struck a tree and then overturned multiple times before coming to a rest.
Four new school bus drivers were recognized at the September Henry County Public Schools monthly Board of Education meeting.

With bed bugs continuing to cause infestations in Kentucky, the North Central District Health Department recommends a heightened level of awareness and action to get rid of the pests.
Bed bugs are recognizable as having reddish-brown, oval-shaped, flattened bodies about a quarter of an inch long, according to information from the health department. Easily mistaken for ticks or roaches, bed bugs feed mostly at night on the blood of people and animals.

|Shirley MacLaine, Christopher Plummer Set for ELSA & FRED Remake
October 31, 2012
Variety reports that Marcia Gay Harden has joined the cast of Michael Radford's ELSA & FRED. The actress will join previously announced cast members Shirley MacLaine, Christopher Plummer, Chris Noth, Jared Gilman, James Brolin, George Segal, Wendell Pierce, Reg Rogers and Erika Alexander. Edward Saxon will produce.
Production on the film commenced yesterday in New Orleans. The film tells the story of two people who fall in love. It is an English language remake of the 2005 Spanish-Argentine film, "Elsa & Fred," from Marcos Carnevale.
Radford penned the adaptation along with 'Il Postino's Anna Pavignano. In the original version, Fred was a "recently widowed Spaniard in his 70s who has led a quiet life and retires to an apartment in Madrid with Elsa -- an Argentinian and a chronic liar -- as his neighbor."
Harden debuted on Broadway in 1993 in the role of Harper Pitt in Tony Kushner's ANGELS IN AMERICA. The role earned her critical acclaim and she received a Tony Award nomination (Best Featured Actress in a Play).
In 2009, Harden returned to Broadway in GOD OF CARNAGE and received a Tony Award for her work in the play. Harden's work in film has earned her a 2000 Academy Award (for Pollock) and a 2004 nomination (Mystic River).

If your hospital doesn't have those attributes, well, you might be out of luck to either remain independent or be acquired. Something has to set you apart from the crowd to gain the kind of advantage that will drive patients to your door. But even that might not be enough. Nationally, we worry about the skyrocketing cost increases for healthcare. Nothing we try seems to stop it for long. But that doesn't keep people from trying.
Experience tells us that the cost of healthcare doesn't go down, no matter how many roadblocks legislators, companies, and health plans try to throw at it. Managed care was successful in holding down prices, but was an abject failure at building any support from the actual patients it was designed to cover. That's because people want as much healthcare as they can get. It's human nature.
I say all this because the many people who are calling for the wholesale demise of the standalone nonprofit hospital may be right when they say it's different this time. But I'm thinking they're more likely to be wrong. That doesn't mean there won't have to be adaptations by the ones that hope to thrive in the coming decade or so of healthcare reform legislation.
As a wise individual who has observed and been a part of the healthcare industry for more than three decades once told me, people still need and want healthcare close by. Despite all the worry and financial troubles of many nonprofit hospitals, "how often do you actually see one close?" he once asked me. "Not very often," he said, answering his own question.
That's true today, and I'll be surprised if it isn't still true 10 years from now.

This application note provides the analytical methodology for a fast multi-residue pesticide determination using the unique capabilities of the Thermo Scientific TSQ Quantum™ GC triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for quantitation and confirmation of positive results. International regulations on the maximum residue levels of pesticides in food (MRLs) cover hundreds of individual components at very low maximum residue limits – in the range of 10 ppb or lower. Currently, more than 300 regulated pesticides can be analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) while a large group of highly polar pesticides is covered by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) methods. GC/MS analysis of that many pesticides at the MRL becomes an increasing challenge for quality and governmental control strategies.

No, it's the convenience of shopping during quiet hours, with or without refreshment.
You know it's a slow news week when normally sensible newspapers like the New York Times write silly articles like the one today that suggests online retailers are targeting consumers who are drunk, presumably taking advantage of their inebriation to sell them stuff they wouldn't buy sober.
From the headline, "Online Merchants Home In on Imbibing Consumers" you might expect several examples of web retailers that have tailored their strategies to consumers who've had a few. But, in fact, no retailer admits to such a strategy. The best the writer can offer is quotes from executives at eBay, QVC and Gilt Groupe about the likelihood that consumers who are in a relaxed mood might be more inclined to shop online.
The article also cites a study by a U.K. comparison shopping site, Kelkoo, which found almost half the British consumers it surveyed had shopped online after drinking. That may be true. But how many had, after having a cocktail or a couple of glasses of wine with dinner, gone on to pay bills online, read bedtime stories to their kids or watch a sporting event? The article doesn't say.
In fact, many surveys have explained why consumers shop online: Convenience, broad selection, and the ability to shop around for the best price. Even a sober person can see those merits. And there must be a lot of sober consumers shopping online, because a third of Americans say they never drink—but 80% of U.S. adults shop online.
A more paranoid person than myself might believe this story was planted by retail chains hoping some governmental agency will step in to stop online retailers from making it possible for consumers to shop whenever they please. If tomorrow's Times has a story about a congressman calling on e-commerce sites to close at 6 p.m. I might rethink whether that idea is paranoid.

Musically, Gaga is just not my genre.
Musically, Gaga is just not my genre.
The Rags of Time - my history blog
Lady Gaga fully admits she has a team that creates her outfits and antics. She doesn't think she is "special and edgy." She knows she is an entertainer with a gimmick. Her hardcore fans, on the other hand....they're another story I'll admit they can be annoying and try to make her into something she isn't -- the whole "edgy and special" thing comes mostly from them .
The same could be said for any gimmicky entertainer on any scale, including Amanda Palmer and Beth Ditto. II know plenty of people who think both of them are "trying too hard" to be different and break conventions.
Entertainers are entertainers. I try not to take them too seriously. It's all an act and it's what I turn to to have fun or relax. I don't care really how true they are to their causes -- gimmicks make them fun! Just give me a good song and I'm there

Lady Gaga, as far as I know, isn't into free sex and orgies. If she is she keeps it very quiet so as not to ruin her reputation. And yes, Lady Gaga has "borrowed" from Alla. Whether she knows it or not is a different story
I like Lady Gaga. Her music is fun and it reminds me of going to the shore when I was a child. I like that she preaches acceptance and love to her younger fans. I like that she might inspire someone to become creative. When I was a little girl I had Cyndi Lauper. Thanks to her I'm the nutter I am today

This invention relates generally to hemostasis valves used in diagnostic, therapeutic and interventional vascular procedures, and more particularly to the sealing mechanisms in such devices and to related systems, including those for flushing.
Hemostasis valves (also sometimes referred to as "Y-connectors" and "Touhy-Borst valves") are commonly used in certain medical procedures. A guide catheter is connected to the distal end of the valve, and an operating instrument, such as a guide wire or balloon catheter, is inserted into the proximal end and through the guide catheter to the desired location in the patient. After the operating instrument is in place, the valve is closed to keep blood from leaking out of the patient ("hemostasis").
One of the problems with current hemostasis valves is that they are cumbersome to operate, taking a long time to open and close. Most employ a Touhy-Borst sealing mechanism such as that described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,886,507. A threaded cap deforms an O-ring into a tapered opening until the O-ring clamps down on the operating instrument. Each time the operating instrument is adjusted, the cap must be unthreaded before and then rethreaded after the manipulation. During the time that the valve is open, blood leaks from the patient and/or contrast media is lost. Inaccurate blood pressure readings also occur. There is also a risk of air emboli when the valve is open, particularly when removing the operating instrument.
Another problem with prior art hemostasis valves, such as Touhy-Borst valves, is that significant mechanical force must be applied to the operating instrument in order to maintain the seal. This is particularly a problem at higher system pressures, and when pressure spikes occur, such as when flushing the system with saline or introducing contrast media. The often delicate drive shaft of the operating instrument can be crushed by the force of the seal. The high force seal also prevents moving the operating instrument while the valve is closed.
One attempt at addressing some of these problems is shown in the '507 patent. In addition to a Touhy-Borst, this design includes a membrane having a fixed circular opening for sealing shafts within a certain diameter range. This sealing arrangement, however, still relies solely on a mechanical sealing system which requires high shaft forces at high system pressures. It also incorporates the same threaded Touhy-Borst valve, which requires the cap to be manually threaded in order to close the valve. The fixed opening membrane would also be helpful only with operating instruments in a particular diameter range.
Hemostasis systems typically have a perfusion port used to flush the system with saline in order to prevent blood clots from being formed. This is done by a technician periodically during the procedure, which takes time and may interrupt the procedure. The blood pressure readings are also inaccurate during the flush.
What has been needed is a hemostasis valve which opens and closes easier, maintains a seal at higher pressures without damaging the instrument, and permits movement of the instrument while maintaining a seal. What has also been needed is a hemostasis system which reduces or eliminates the need for periodic flushing. What has also been needed is a hemostasis assembly which reduces blood loss and the risk of air emboli while the valve is open.
According to the present invention, a hemostasis valve, system and assembly are provided. The inventions can be used in a variety of diagnostic, therapeutic and interventional procedures, including angiography, angioplasty, stent placement, drug infusion, intravascular ultrasound, rotablation, and atherectomy.
In one aspect of the invention, a hemostasis valve comprises a valve body having a proximal end for receiving an operating device, a distal end for connection to a guide catheter, and a through-lumen in the valve body intermediate the proximal and distal ends. The operating device is inserted through the through-lumen and into the guide catheter. A chamber in the valve body surrounds the through-lumen and is filled with fluid under pressure. A collapsible membrane in a portion of the through-lumen is constructed and arranged such that the fluid pressure in the chamber assists in sealing the collapsible membrane around the operating device.
In another aspect of the invention, a hemostasis valve comprises a valve body having a proximal end for receiving an operating device, a distal end for connection to a guide catheter, and a through-lumen in the valve body intermediate the proximal and distal ends. The operating device is inserted through the through-lumen and into the guide catheter. The through-lumen comprises a proximal portion, a distal portion and an elastomeric sleeve therebetween. One of the proximal and distal portions of the through-lumen is rotatable relative to the valve body between a closed position wherein the elastomeric sleeve is twisted to seal around the operating device and an open position wherein the elastomeric sleeve is sufficiently untwisted to unseal the elastomeric sleeve from the operating device.
In another aspect of the invention, a system for flushing a vascular catheter comprises a hemostasis valve and a vascular catheter for insertion into a patient, sealingly connected to the hemostasis valve. A source for providing flushing fluid under pressure is in fluid communication with the hemostasis valve. A mechanism controls the flow of said flushing fluid from the source to the hemostasis valve at a rate of about between 0.10 to 10.0 cubic centimeters per minute, thereby continuously flushing the vascular catheter.
In another aspect of the invention, a hemostasis valve assembly comprises a hemostasis valve which is moveable between a closed position wherein liquid in fluid communication with a patient is sealed and an open position. An expandable reservoir in fluid communication with the liquid in the hemostasis valve is moveable between expanded and retracted positions. The expandable reservoir is constructed and arranged such that, when the hemostasis valve is moved to the open position, the expandable reservoir retracts toward the retracted position so as to force liquid out of the open hemostasis valve.
These and other advantages and features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed hereto. However, for a better understanding of the invention and its advantages, reference should be made to the drawings which form a further part hereof, and to the accompanying descriptive matter in which there is illustrated and described preferred embodiments of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of a hemostasis valve according to the present invention, including a system for continuously flushing a vascular catheter and an expandable reservoir;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of a hemostasis valve according to the present invention; and
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the clamp used in the hemostasis valve of FIG. 2.
Referring now to the drawings, wherein like numerals designate like parts, first and second hemostasis valve embodiments are shown in FIG. 1 and FIGS. 2-3, respectively. The hemostasis valves of the present invention can be used with a variety of diagnostic, therapeutic, and interventional operating devices as set forth above.
Referring to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, hemostasis valve 10 comprises valve body 12 with proximal end 14 for receiving operating device 19 and distal end 16 for connection to guide catheter 18. A standard hose barb 15 is shown at proximal end 14 and a standard luer lock 17 is shown at distal end 16 for connection to guide catheter 18.
Valve body 12 includes through-lumen 20 through which operating device 19 is received. In a portion of through-lumen 20 is a collapsible membrane 22 which seals around operating device 19. This sealing is assisted by fluid pressure from chamber 30 surrounding through-lumen 20. This pressure assist is advantageous in a number of ways. The lower pressure differential between through-lumen 20 and chamber 30 makes it easier to create a seal by mechanically deforming collapsible membrane 22. Less mechanical force is consequently necessary for sealing, which reduces the risk of damaging the drive shaft of the operating device and helps permit manipulation of operating device 19, longitudinally and torsionally, while maintaining a seal.
In the first embodiment of FIG. 1, chamber 30 is in fluid communication with through-lumen 20 through passage 32. Thus, for example saline or the patient's blood can pass back and forth. This arrangement is particularly helpful in dynamic high pressure situations because the high pressure tending to open the hemostasis valve is offset by the also high pressure in chamber 30.
Collapsible membrane 22 is mechanically deformed in the first embodiment by turning adjustment knob 40 so as to twist elastomeric sleeve 44 around operating device 19 to effect a seal. Adjustment knob 40 is biased toward the closed position (shown) by coil spring 46 around valve body 12 which is connected at its opposite end to stationary knob 42. It will be understood that a variety of other spring mechanisms could be employed for this purpose. This arrangement permits better sensitivity when opening valve as well as automatic closure, which reduces the time that the valve is open.
Elastomeric sleeve 44 is fixedly and sealingly disposed onto barbs 41, 43 of adjustment and stationary knobs 40, 42. Sleeve 44 is preferably made of a flexible biocompatible material such as silicone or latex. The preferred sleeve has a 3/16 inch o.d., 1/8 inch i.d., and a length (measured between barbs 41,43) between 0.25 and 0.50 inches. To help facilitate movement of operating device 19 while maintaining the valve closed, it would be preferable to coat the inner side of sleeve 44 with for example a hydrogel to provide a slicker surface.
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, a second preferred embodiment of a hemostasis valve is shown. In describing the second embodiment, attention will be focused to the relevant differences from the first embodiment.
In the second embodiment, chamber 30 is not in fluid communication with through-lumen 20, but is instead isolated. Saline or other fluid is provided to chamber 30 by high pressure fluid source 50 through port 51. Second port 52 is used to evacuate air or relieve pressure from chamber 30 with valve 53. In this way, opening and closing of the hemostasis valve can in fact be accomplished solely by selectively providing sufficient fluid pressure in chamber 30 to completely seal collapsible membrane 22 around operating device 19. A third port (not shown) communicating with through-lumen 20 could be used for pressure monitoring, flushing, and/or injecting contrast media for example. The fluid pressure in chamber 30 is preferably at least that in through-lumen 20. A more simple arrangement than the second preferred embodiment would eliminate both ports 51, 52 and have a constant pressure in chamber 30 sufficient to assist in sealing collapsible membrane 22 around operating device 19.
Collapsible membrane 22 is mechanically deformed by action of feet 61 of clamp 60, best shown in FIG. 3. As with the first embodiment, a spring 62 (here a compression spring) is used to bias the valve to a closed position. Feet 61 extend into correspondingly shaped openings 57 in rigid outer wall 56 and deform outer elastomer tube 54 radially inward. This increases the fluid pressure in chamber 30 which in turn deforms collapsible membrane 22 to seal around operating device 19. Both membrane 22 and tube 54 are preferably made of latex. Membrane 22 has a 3/16 inch i.d. and is 0.012 inches thick. Tube 54 has a 3/8 inch i.d. and is 0.085 inches thick. They could also be made of silicone or urethane, but a thinner wall for tube 54 would likely be required. It will be understood that a variety of other mechanisms could be used to radially direct pressure and that mechanical pressure could be applied directly to collapsible membrane 22 alone or in combination with fluid pressure to effect a seal.
Referring now to FIG. 1, system 70 provides a continuous flush of guide catheter 18 and hemostasis valve 10. Saline is delivered to hemostasis valve 10 through first port 75 at a rate of about 0.1 to 10.0 cubic centimeters per minute, preferably about 1.0 cubic centimeters (1 ml.) per minute. High pressure saline is supplied by source 71, which is preferably a saline bag at a pressure of about 300 millimeters of mercury. The desired flow rate can be achieved by a variety of flow restricting arrangements. The preferred arrangements are an appropriately sized orifice 72 and/or capillary tube 73. The preferred capillary tube 73 is 30 gauge hypotube 0.6 inches long and having an i.d. of 0.006 inches. System 70 permits more continuous monitoring of pressure with pressure monitor 92 by reducing or possibly eliminating the need for flushing with high pressure saline 90.
Referring again to FIG. 1, hemostasis valve assembly 80 includes bellows 82 which acts as an expandable reservoir of liquid volume. Bellows 82 is connected to hemostasis valve 10 by third port 81. It is preferably made of an elastomeric material such as latex and should "saturate" (i.e., be substantially expanded) at a mean pressure of about between 60 to 120 millimeters of mercury, most preferably at a typical blood pressure of about 90 millimeters of mercury. It will be appreciated that a variety of expandable reservoir arrangements other than a bellows could be suitable for this purpose, as for example one that relies on springs or another mechanism instead of the inherent elasticity of the reservoir.
The liquid volume stored by expandable reservoir 82 under pressure has a number of advantages. It reduces blood loss when hemostasis valve 10 is opened by replacing lost liquid with liquid from the retracting reservoir instead of blood from the patient. There is also a significant risk of air emboli caused by the vacuum which is created when the distal end of operating device 19 is pulled out of proximal end 14 of hemostasis valve 10. Expandable reservoir 82 helps force liquid out of proximal end 14 of hemostasis valve 10 so as to prevent air from entering. Expanding reservoir 82 is also helpful when hemostasis valve 10 is closed. For example, it will tend to absorb pressure spikes, such as those created by high pressure flushing 90 or injecting contrast media 94, by reservoir expanding instead of liquid leaking out of hemostasis valve 10.
It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments discussed above which are illustrative only. Changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, arrangement of parts, or material of components within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meanings of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.

Publisher:Walter de Gruyter
This work, the first of its kind, describes all the aspects of the Bible revolution in Jewish history in the last two hundred years, as well as the emergence of the new biblical culture. It describes the circumstances and processes that turned Holy Scripture into the Book of Books and into the history of the biblical period and of the Jewish people. It deals with the encounter of the Jews with modern biblical criticism, the archaeological research of the Ancient Near East, with contemporary archaeology, the Bible-Babel polemic at the start of the twentieth century, and the use of the bible as a "guide to life" in education, culture and politics.

text: Wildfires Why The Beaver Creek Fire Will Leave Lasting Landscape Effects By Frankie Barnhill • Sep 24, 2013 Sawtooth National Forest / InciWeb The Beaver Creek Fire moved through 174 square miles of land in August, threatening communities in the Wood River Valley. Conservation Plan Aims To Restore Idaho's Big Wood River By Associated Press • Sep 23, 2013 GHarness / Flickr Creative Commons Trout Unlimited and the Wood River Land Trust have announced a plan to restore the Big Wood River in central Idaho. The partnership announced last week and called the Big Wood River Home Rivers Initiative is described as a long-term effort to reconnect tributaries, promote fish passage and maintain stream flows. Scott Boettger of the Wood River Land Trust says summer wildfires followed by mudslides combined with low flows and increased water temperatures are timely reminders of the challenges the Big Wood faces. Wildfire Report Pushes For Better Community Planning In Idaho's Wildland-Urban Interface By Frankie Barnhill • Sep 17, 2013 U.S. Forest Service The 2012 wildfire season went down as one of the most active in Idaho's history. It was an expensive year too, with more than $211 million spent to suppress fires that burned 1.75 million acres. According to a new report by Jonathan Oppenheimer of the Idaho Conservation League, there are some valuable lessons imbedded in those stats. Mudslides Close Roads In Elmore County, Idaho By Associated Press • Sep 13, 2013 Authorities say both lanes of U.S. Highway 20 north of Mountain Home have reopened following a mudslide. Authorities tell KTVB-TV that mud on Thursday closed one lane of the route that carries traffic from Boise to the central Idaho resort area of Ketchum and Sun Valley. The mudslide occurred between Cow Creek Road and Anderson Ranch Dam Road. Elmore County dispatchers say one person had to be rescued after a rainstorm on Thursday caused rocks and mud to slide onto roadways. After The Beaver Creek Fire, Anglers Are Forced To Cast Their Lines Elsewhere By Frankie Barnhill • Sep 8, 2013 Steve Dondero Warm Springs Creek is a clean and beautiful tributary of the Big Wood River in Blaine County. The creek is also a great spot for fly-fishing. Well...normally. But after the 174-square-mile Beaver Creek Fire was officially contained last week, heavy rain and thunderstorms moved through. That storm and the continued rain that followed brought mud, ash and debris down the mountain – and into Warm Springs Creek and the Big Wood River. Video: 2013 Wildfire Season Burns Fewer Acres, Leaves Deeper Scars By Frankie Barnhill • Sep 5, 2013 Boise National Forest People in the West are breathing some cleaner air these days, after a summer of dangerous and smoky wildfires. As the wildfire season begins to wind down, Ken Frederick at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise looked into this question: how does this summer's fire season stack up against prior ones? Frederick decided to tackle the topic through a short and info-packed video. Rain Helps Crews Gain Ground On Idaho Wildfires By Associated Press • Sep 4, 2013 U.S. Forest Service Rain across much of southwestern and central Idaho's mountains put a dent in wildfires that have kept firefighters busy for weeks. On the Weiser Complex Fire along the Snake River's Brownlee Reservoir, Wednesday's moisture bolstered crews' confidence about making significant progress toward containing the blaze that's charred some 40 square miles. And in central Idaho near Featherville, similar downpours helped firefighters gain ground and more aggressively push back the Kelley Fire, which has burned about 26 square miles. Flash Flood Warning In Effect For Parts Of Fire-Ravaged Blaine County By Frankie Barnhill • Sep 3, 2013 Mel Meier / InciWeb The Beaver Creek Fire burned more than 174 square miles and endangered the towns of Hailey, Ketchum and Sun Valley last month. The once-enormous blaze is fully contained. But residents in the area now have to be on alert for another danger: flash floods and mudslides over the charred land. The Times-News reports that 18 inches of mud came into the Croy Creek Canyon area overnight. After Fire, Idaho Forecasters Warn Of Flash Flooding By Associated Press • Sep 3, 2013 National Weather Service warned Idaho residents traveling or recreating on National Forest lands to be wary of possible flash flooding, as recent wildfires have scorched what ordinarily would have been rain-sopping vegetation from hillsides. A flash flood watch goes into effect at midnight and continues through Tuesday on Boise National Forest areas burned by the massive Elk, Pony and Little Queens fires. Two New Idaho Fires Threaten Structures Near Snake River By Scott Graf • Aug 30, 2013 InciWeb Aerial attacks are continuing Friday morning on two new fires burning along the Idaho-Oregon border, near Brownlee Reservoir on the Snake River. The Hells Canyon 1 Fire and the Raft Fire started with lighting strikes Thursday afternoon. As of Friday morning, they'd burned 4,500 acres. They'll burn together and form the Wesier Complex and be managed by a Type Two Incident Command team. Bruce Willis Thanks Beaver Creek Firefighters With Catered Meals By Emilie Ritter Saunders • Aug 29, 2013 Gage Skidmore / Flickr Creative Commons Actor and part-time Idaho resident Bruce Willis is showing his gratitude to the firefighters who worked the Beaver Creek Fire near Sun Valley by catering meals for them beginning Friday. Entertainment news outlet ETOnline.com says Willis is also footing the bill for firefighters' snacks as they move to other fires. California Weather Events Travel Through Idaho, Bringing Fire Risk By Jessica Robinson • Aug 27, 2013 The same weather patterns that are making the Rim Fire a challenge for firefighters in California have been moving up through parts of the Northwest. Specifically, through central Idaho. Fire managers say the forests there are ripe for fire, and more lightning is in the forecast this week. The fact that massive fires are raging both in California and in Idaho is no coincidence, according to Robyn Broyles. She's with the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise. More Than 8,000 Bandanas Donated To Beaver Creek Firefighters By Frankie Barnhill • Aug 23, 2013 Bronwyn Nickel / Blaine County Sheriff's Office As wildland firefighters fought the Beaver Creek fire in the Wood River Valley last week, people in the area looked for a way to help. They wanted to show their thanks to the firefighters who protected their homes.The Blaine County Sheriff's office decided to ask for bandana donations. Since the drive started, they have received between 8,000-9,000 bandanas from people around the country. Pre-Evacuation Notices Lifted For Beaver Creek Fire By Frankie Barnhill • Aug 23, 2013 InciWeb / http://www.inciweb.org/incident/3635/ The Beaver Creek fire is now 67 percent contained. The jump in fire line construction comes after several days of milder weather, including overnight rain that helped control the flames. Lightning In Forecast Makes Northwest Fire Crews Wary By Chris Lehman • Aug 22, 2013 Weather forecasters are predicting more lightning throughout the Northwest over the next few days. That could make things tougher for fire fighters, who are already battling several large wildfires throughout the region. Wildfire Roundup: More Than 600,000 Acres Burn In Idaho Wildfires By Frankie Barnhill • Aug 22, 2013 Boise National Forest So far this year, 601,640 acres have burned in Idaho wildfires. The National Interagency Fire Center reports there are 10 large wildfires burning in the state, including some that have caused evacuations. With so much quickly-changing fire information, here's an update on some of the wildfires we've been talking about recently. Locals Left Behind In Sun Valley Worry About Economic Impact Of The Beaver Creek Fire By Jessica Robinson • Aug 22, 2013 Jessica Robinson / Northwest News Network Not everyone fled Sun Valley, Idaho, when the huge Beaver Creek wildfire threatened the swanky resort area. Many locals remained in the surrounding communities and kept the stores, restaurants and gas stations open. Now, firefighters are gaining the upper hand. The smoke is clearing. But without the return of vacationers, many locals worry the real disaster is economic – and that one is just beginning. Beaver Creek Fire Renews Push For Homeowner Vigilance By Jessica Robinson • Aug 21, 2013 The fire raging near Sun Valley, Idaho, is serving as a wake-up call for homeowners in fire-prone areas across the Northwest. The 106,000-acre Beaver Creek Fire has burned one house. And fire managers say it's lucky they didn't lose more. Steven Garman lives outside of Ketchum, Idaho. He's a retired firefighter. Garman says like many homes in the area, his house was not designed to be fire resistant. Sun Valley Businesses Worry About Fire's Economic Impact By Jessica Robinson • Aug 21, 2013 Businesses around Sun Valley, Idaho worry the massive Beaver Creek fire will have a big impact on the tourist-dependent economy of central Idaho. Several events have already been canceled because of the blaze. This is the new worry by business owners. First of course was the threat of fire. And now there's the threat of fire or at least the perceived threat of it will continue to keep away tourists through a really crucial part of their business cycle. Containment Increases On The Beaver Creek Fire, Evacuation Orders Still In Effect By Emilie Ritter Saunders • Aug 21, 2013 Ashley Smith / Times-News Update, 12:40 p.m.: The mandatory evacuation order has been lifted for residents from the hospital bridge south to East Fork Road on the east side of Highway 75. This includes residents of Cold Springs, Gimlet, and the Meadows.
