Alaska's brave, parachuting PJs save a life in remote Red Devil
Craig Medred | Feb 10, 2012
Bitter winds were blowing snow sideways across a desolate runway in the tiny, dying community of Red Devil, Alaska, on Feb. 1 when the doctors dropped out of a night sky to save a young man fighting for his life.This just doesn't happen anywhere else in America."It was dark. It was windy. It was really cold," Red Devil resident Ed Lepalla said by telephone Friday, and his neighbor's son, 20-year-old Ryan Morgan was in grave medical danger that night. Morgan had undergone a surgical endoscopy days before and now was in pain and vomiting. Doctors in Bethel, a regional hub 160 miles to the southwest, notified the Alaska Air National Guard that unless someone got Morgan started on an IV he might not make it to morning.A life-saving service in the far north, the Air Guard took this call -- like dozens of others. At 8:30 p.m., according to Maj. Guy Hayes, the 210th, 211th and 212th Rescue Squadrons launched at the request of the 11th... http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/alaskas-brave-parachuting-pjs-save-life-remote-red-devil

LaDonna Gundersen’s “Salmon, Desserts & Friends” – I’m Hooked (Line and Sinker) After The First Recipe
Feb 1st, 2012 | By Lulu del Rosario | Category: Featured
I’ve amassed a lot of cookbooks over the last year and my children and their families have benefited from some of them. When we have family gatherings, one or two of them may surprise us with a dish inspired by one of the famous cookbook authors I’ve had the privilege to meet. This week, I received a copy of LaDonna Gundersen’s cookbook to review. It gives me great pleasure to let my family know that LaDonna’s “Salmon, Desserts & Friends” will remain in my home, in my cookbook shelf ~ because it is perfect for two people who both love a good salmon dish. And I’m in dire need of new ideas other than teriyaki glaze over my baked salmon... http://cloutandabout.com/2012/02/ladonna-gundersens-salmon-desserts-friends-im-hooked-after-the-first-recipe/
Report says science, not minister should rule Canada's fisheries
Wendy Cox, The Canadian Press
VANCOUVER - Fisheries management in Canada places too much discretion in the hands of the federal minister, conferring "czar-like" powers that have meant the country has lagged far behind others in protecting its oceans, says a study by an expert panel of some of Canada's most distinguished scientists. The Royal Society of Canada report concludes Canada is failing to live up to international and domestic obligations outlined in UN conventions it has signed as well as laws it has passed.... http://www.thecanadianpress.com/english/online/OnlineFullStory.aspx?filename=DOR-MNN-CP.243f8e229a384b59a3e66b6c21564a35.CPKEY2008111303&newsitemid=16776907&languageid=1

Satellite tags disclose data of Atlantic salmon's conditions at sea
UNITED STATES
Monday, February 13, 2012, 06:20 (GMT + 9)
Scientists are learning where adult Atlantic salmon go in the ocean and what environmental conditions they experienced thanks to satellite tags. The fish are tagged and released near Nuuk, Greenland; the archival tags record information for months and then pop-off or dislodge from the fish. The tags transmit data about water depths, ocean temperatures and sunlight levels felt by the fish. Researchers then use these data to re-create salmon migration routes and learn about the oceanographic conditions the fish experienced when traveling to their natal rivers to spawn. The Greenland satellite tagging project is led by Tim Sheehan and Mark Renkawitz at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Woods Hole... http://fis.com/fis/worldnews/worldnews.asp?l=e&country=0&special=&monthyear=&day=&id=49856&ndb=1&df=0
