The woman estimates the bear was the same size as her Great Pyrenees dog, around 120 pounds. Idaho Fish and Game say a woman was walking her dog near her home in East Fork, south of Ketchum, when she encountered a black bear. Residents in the Wood River Valley are urged to be vigilant after a black bear got into a scuffle with a Great Pyrenees Monday. Life vests for dogs are available in a variety of sizes as well.īlack bear and Great Pyrenees get into fight near Ketchum If the current is strong, it’s best to keep your dog away. Like humans, they can get caught in debris, step on something sharp, or take in too much water. No matter how comfortable your dog is in and around the river, accidents can always happen. A man drowned earlier this month when trying to rescue his dog in the upper South Fork of the Boise River. This is at least the second time someone has drowned in one of Idaho’s rivers this summer when trying to save a dog. Another group of rafters located him floating face down and pulled him ashore to perform CPR, although their efforts were unsuccessful. The group lost sight of Scryphers as he went around the river bend. The sheriff’s office says Richard Scyphers, 55, was with a group of rafters and jumped into the water to help a dog that had been caught in the current. Sadly, a man died while trying to save a dog in distress on the Salmon River in Idaho County last Saturday.

Of course, the other 50% is coming from urine. WILLIAMSON: That is about 50% of our water that we do reclaim. She says if you add up all the water that astronauts either sweat out or breathe out as moisture, it's about 1 1/2 liters per day per person. GREENFIELDBOYCE: Jill Williamson is NASA's water subsystems manager for the station. Otherwise, you know, you'll have a buildup of water condensing on all surfaces. JILL WILLIAMSON: We have to reclaim that water. So in the space station, any and all water in the air, like from sweat, has to get collected. GREENFIELDBOYCE: Electronics and water just don't get along. MASSIMINO: And we had some problems where sweat was getting - water was getting getting stuck in there and causing a problem with communication. Still, Massimino remembers one time when sweat got into the communications cap that's fitted out with headphones. Spacewalkers also wear sweat-absorbing fabrics like gloves and a sweat band around the head.

GREENFIELDBOYCE: To deal with that heat, spacewalkers wear a special garment, basically long underwear that has tubes full of cooling water. And so you can build up a heavy heat load. They typically run about 6 1/2 hours, and you're moving that whole time typically. MASSIMINO: That's a real athletic event when you're spacewalking. GREENFIELDBOYCE: A towel works fine if you're inside the International Space Station, but if you go outside on a spacewalk. MASSIMINO: The water would just kind of form on your body and not go away necessarily unless you wiped it with a towel. So he says if you're on an exercise bike.

GREENFIELDBOYCE: Instead, in microgravity, water tends to cling to whatever surface it's touching. MASSIMINO: Sweat does not fall off of your body, like, because there's no gravity there. He says in space, sweat won't drip off of you. GREENFIELDBOYCE: Mike Massimino is now a professor at Columbia University. MIKE MASSIMINO: I was exercising all the time I was an astronaut, it seemed like. NELL GREENFIELDBOYCE, BYLINE: Astronauts have to stay in shape both on the ground and once they're in orbit. Today we are leaving the planet to ponder sweating in space because, as NPR's Nell Greenfieldboyce reports, sweat is a big deal for space travelers.
