Thank you Carole :Hugs: He's in so much pain he feels like he needs to go to the ER. :'( That Barium is really hurting going through and the pain is horrible. We're waiting for the doctor to call, but it's the covering doctor, his has just left town for the weekend, and the results of today's test should be back tomorrow. :hair: I have palpitations and am :X: he can hold out and not have to go there tonight. It's been a extra miserable past two weeks. And the BP medication I started today says no IP, so not even a glass of Wine to look forward to later. :(

Cool capture of Dr. Sharpe. :}^ B-))

I got my IWS eagle membership goodie bag today with the t-shirt and hoodie for DH.
I was surprised I also got the thermo eagle lunch bag.
DH said it looks like it holds two beers. :clink:

Thank you IWS!

Hiker - Congratulation to Rachael on her getting the teaching job she has wanted since she was 3 years old - have a wonderful year.

Kris - so sorry to hear Ed continues to have pain and discomfort - sure wish the doctors would come up with an answer to all his discomfort and pain - can't imagine having to deal with all he does and you with him.

Just thought I'd check in before calling day's over.
I am so sorry to hear of your physical suffering. Can really make life seem like the pits! :o
Some of you have been friends a long time and I'm here a short time.
CircleScribe Hope you and your husband improve to good health
Carole so sorry to hear of your ear difficulty. If the pressure is in your ears, have they
ever tried flushing them out? I thought I was losing my hearing suddenly in one ear several
years ago and my doctor just flushed them out and it turned out to be a bit of wax blocking
the canal. Don't know if that will help you!
Topa It's so nice to hear of someone's dream come true and hope that Rachel's job is all
she hopes it will be. I never heard of skype before the other day when you put Petra on it
and now your grand kids. Amazing!
Deb love the eagle shot! Glad the doctor located your appendix.
On a light note years ago my mother was having pain and the doctor said she had
appendicitus. She said I DO NOT! And he retorted back, "YOU don't even know where your
appendix is" She said "I do to! They are upstairs in a bottle in the trunk! She had them out
when she was 18 and they used to keep them in a bottle of alcohol. rofl rofl rofl rofl

Lily the Black Bear - Update August 26, 2010 - 9:25 PM CDT

Hope Weighs In!

Hope on scale - August 26, 2010

Lily and Hope surprised us by stepping onto the scale at the Research Center early this morning. Lily weighed 229 and Hope weighed a very healthy 58 pounds. Hope further accommodated us by leaving a dropping of round-leafed dogwood berry seeds to show us what she'd been up to. After this brush with civilization, the two spent the day deep in the woods.

This afternoon, we flew to find Jo, who has moved away from roads. We wanted to attach ribbons to her collar, but she was too far away and possibly moving farther as we listened to her radio signal.

We also flew to find the long lost Cal who is now almost exactly 90 miles southwest of his den of last winter. He has moved 16 miles south from the area he used earlier this summer. He is 16 miles northwest of Hermantown.

Cal is yet another example of how human sense does not necessarily make bear sense. Cal grew up very familiar with people. He frequented households that have long fed bears. In those locations, people hand-fed and petted him, and he was cool with all of that. Researchers eventually accompanied him hundreds of hours out in the woods. He became oblivious of researchers. Cal is a perfect example of a bear that is thoroughly habituated and food-conditioned, to use the jargon words officials often use when explaining why they 'have' to kill bears that lose their fear of people.

Posted Image Cal's location from the air - August 26, 2010

Given the assumptions usually associated with the words habituated and food-conditioned, might one conclude that when Cal dispersed from his natal range he would continue to seek food from houses and that he might even seek food from people he sees? He didn't.

When Cal dispersed from his mother's territory as a hefty 2-year-old, he avoided people. He traveled to a roadless part of Canada and hibernated there. As a 3-year-old this year, he wove his way southwest, again avoiding houses and people except for a brief stop at a household that welcomed and fed him in previous years. Then he continued on his way, avoiding people and crossing divided Highway 53 in the wee hours. Today, Cal again was deep in the woods (photo).

How little the world knows about the minds of bears. How much we have to learn. Cal is just another example of a radio-collared bear defying the common misconceptions about what makes bears nuisances.

While we were in the field, Lily's fans were working hard for bears in other ways.

They further extended the lead of Bear Head Lake State Park to win $100,000 in the Coca-Cola Parks contest. Earlier today June moved to the state park - perhaps to a den site.

Lily's fans also started the hard climb toward getting Ely Schools into the top 20 in the Kohl Care School context for $500,000. With 9 days left to vote on this, go to each of these links, vote five times for each of the two schools. We believe helping these schools will help educate local people about bears, will show the value of the radio-collared bears, and will help protect them from hunters.

Comments I heard today from newspaper editors shows they are extremely respectful of the power of Lily's fans and how much you are helping the region where these radio-collared bears live.

At the same time, you are working to make the Education Outreach program a success. Teams are forming to tackle problems as they come up. Corelyn is overseeing everything, and talented educators are stepping up and doing what is needed to make their areas the best they can be.

Thank you for the great amount you do.
