Democrat Edwards to end presidential bid today
In a dramatic news conference last March, the couple announced that the breast cancer that she thought she had beaten had returned, but they would continue the campaign.Their decision sparked a debate about family duty and public service. But Elizabeth Edwards remained a forceful advocate for her husband, and she was often surrounded at campaign events by well-wishers and emotional survivors cheering her on.Edwards announce his campaign was ending with his wife and three children at his side. Then he planned to work with Habitat for Humanity at the volunteer-fueled rebuilding project Musicians' Village, his campaign said.With that, Edwards' campaign ended the way it began 13 months ago — with the candidate pitching in to rebuild lives in a city still ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. Edwards embraced New Orleans as a glaring symbol of what he described as a Washington that didn't hear the cries of the downtrodden.Edwards burst out of the starting gate with a flurry of progressive policy ideas — he was the first to offer a plan for universal health care, the first to call on Congress to pull funding for the war, and he led the charge that lobbyists have too much power in Washington and need to be reigned in.The ideas were all bold and new for Edwards personally as well, making him a different candidate than the moderate Southerner who ran in 2004 while still in his first Senate term.

Taking the kids: A winter trek in Yellowstone
Bison, for their part, were nearly extinct at the turn of the 20th century. Today, there are some 3,500 in the park. We're having one of those I-can't-believe-what-we're-seeing moments, as we snowshoe on trails around Old Faithful on a cold but sunny winter afternoon. Did you know Yellowstone has more thermal features than anywhere in the world -- some 10,000 geysers, bubbling mud pots, hot springs and more. That's half of the world's hydrothermal features! There's no better time to see them -- and the park's wildlife -- than winter when you won't be fighting the crowds. That's what we told Gertrude, another bison we encountered snowshoeing around the Geyser Basin. (Gertrude ignored us too.) Consider that more than 15,000 people visit the park each day in summer, while all winter only 150,000 people visit.
