Arnold, CA...Please join us at Jack Knight Hall in Calaveras Big Trees State Park for amazing music by the local favorite, hors d'oeuvres and fine local wines. Cantamos - Michela Macfarlane and Cantamos highlight their musical dexterity by moving from arias, traditional Latin songs and musicals, to contemporary favorites. Their music moves seamlessly from English to Italian, Spanish to French to Portuguese, and back again. Michela Macfarlane spent ten years steeped exclusively in baroque music. To expand her singing world she moved to the realms of jazz, pop, and Latin sounds. She is still true to her operatic roots, but has grown as a performer. Michela is backed by Ron Schaner on (Bass and vocal), Fred Treece (Guitar and vocal), Jerry Solberg (Keyboards and vocal) and Scott Leverone (Drums).

Who all is pre-registered? I signed up the other day. And does anyone know what the courses are going to be as far as Adv and Int. Who goes where?
i'm signed up, cant wait...
i dont think they will decide til after registration closes on March 15th...
Last year the advanced played White, Franklin, Hobson, and Keriokes. This year could be different. It hasent been posted yet.
I'm about 99% Certian that the new coures Phil Moore will be finished and included for MA1 at BG ams. I went and checked out the layout and it's gonna be a beast. 3 holes in the 800+ range and some Hobson type woods with a lot more length and an OB creek that will make a number of these holes very tough.
Think Blue 11/04/08
always good to play a new course - where in bg is it located
It's 2 miles east of I-65 on Scottsville Road. In other words, about 2 miles from where the host hotel is. The park is on the right.

That's okay though! I just noticed that H.B. has dropped down to Advanced for the BG AM's!?!
He was telling some people that he was going to this past weekend but I thought he was kidding.
"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
The winners of the last 3 BGs are gonna be playing (Steve Wittson, Wil E, and Estenfelder) as well as a number of other pro players. I got 7th in INT the only other BG ams I played as an INT, so I though I might try to improve on that.
I truely haven't made up my mind, odds are I'll play which ever field is bigger.

Dog Eye Cancer
Dog Eye Cancer
Eye tumors can develop in several different places of this vital sensory organ in dogs. These growths can impair the dog's ability to see, and can become dangerous to their health if they begin to affect the central nervous system. Common types of eye tumors and Dog Cancer in these dogs are found on the eyelid, with the most common for dogs being known as a Dog Squamous Cell Carcinoma. This mass begins as a small spot on an eyelid, and then continually begins larger and thicker in size. The most common for dogs is the meibomian gland adenoma and papilloma.
The typical sign of an eyelid tumor in all breeds of dogs is a mass that starts out small and continues to grow. The tumor may also have a discharge or may become ulcerated over time. In dogs, it is very common for the mass to be accompanied by Dog Pink Eye.
The mass must be biopsied and tested in order to make a diagnosis. Other common tests that may be performed to determine the extent of the disease and the dog's overall health are x-rays of the head, eye ultrasounds, MRI, and lymph node cytology. Seeing a reputable Veterinarian that specializes in these types of diagnosis techniques is highly suggested. A second opinion would help to determine if it is indeed a cancerous growth.
Treatment for Eyelid Tumors
Surgery is generally the most recommended options for treating eyelid tumors in both dogs. The mass needs to be removed as soon as possible to help save the dog's vision. The size of the tumor will determine the type of surgery performed. Large masses that cover over one half of the eyelid may need to be removed with reconstructive surgical methods. Cryosurgery is used if the tumor is able to be removed with this method. It tends to be less invasive, and can be performed no almost all dogs without regards to their age.
Dog Cancer Chemotherapy and radiation are other forms of treatment that may be used. Overall, the determining factors for treatment include the size, location, grade, and type of the tumor, as well as the life expectancy of the dog.
For dogs, tumors found on the eyelid are the most common, and most are benign. Most forms of benign eyelid tumors come with an excellent prognosis, as long as they are properly treated. Malignant tumors may be a bit more guarded in dogs, but the chances of them metastasizing is very low. It is common that a dog will develop more tumors in the future after having one.

Shelmarie Main and Chloe Mallone were heartbroken when they saw a blue-beaked American wigeon collapsed on a pond drainage grate. His head hung down, barely keeping his beak out of the water, and his wings were splayed to the side.
The mother-daughter duo take walks along Village Pond Park most days to admire wildlife. On that day, two kids poking at something on the ground caught their attention. As they got closer, they realized it was a dying wigeon. His head was twisted and he barely moved. His instinct to flee seemed gone. When they touched him, he shuddered with his last breath. Just a foot away, a female mallard was struggling. Slightly more alert, the bird tried to flee but could not.
Main and Mallone moved the dying animals to safety. As they did, they discovered two more dead ducks. They called the county's animal control for help.
"It was horrible, there were so many," said Mallone, 20, who said she's been a bird geek since age 9. "To see one once in a while is normal but all of these at once, it was heartbreaking. At first I thought someone had been poisoning them."
In the last two weeks nearly three dozen dead and dying water fowl have been found in several areas across Orange County, including Lake Forest and Santa Ana. More than a dozen were found at the Village Pond in Lake Forest. At least 16 dead and dying ducks have been found at Carl Thornton Park near South Coast Plaza in Santa Ana. Most have been migratory birds such as the American wigeon, American coots and some mallards.
Wildlife experts worry what a rapidly spreading disease could mean for hundreds of thousands of migratory birds that use the Pacific flyway as a migration course between northern breeding grounds and southern winter spots. In September, more than 2,000 birds died in Oregon following a botulism outbreak.
In the case of the dying fowl in Orange County, experts are conducting tests trying to figure out what happened. Possible culprits include botulism or other toxin or an avian virus. The condition is especially troublesome to bird experts because it could devastate tens of thousands of migratory bird communities and even impact resident fowl at local lakes.
Debbie McGuire, director of the Wetlands & Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach, has begun conducting necropsies on some of the dead birds. She and veterinarians there have also taken blood-serum samples. McGuire said while it's not the time of year botulism is usually seen, a recent warm spell could have helped the neurotoxin spread and ducks could have eaten affected plants. What she's more concerned about is a virus or toxin that the migrating birds may have picked up along their route.
"Certain viruses could spread quickly," she said. "With the different species coming in, we've got some that are federally and state protected. Loosing a few individuals in their population could affect their survival as a species."
The Huntington Beach center has taken in cadavers and is treating an American wigeon and American coot, both which are barely clinging to life. The birds show extreme weakness, an inability to stand and to hold up their heads. They are vomiting and have diarrhea and are dehydrated. Recent necropsies on a wigeon showed that whatever killed the bird came on suddenly, McGuire said.
"It was not a chronic condition that killed him," she said. "The bird died quickly with an acute onset – which is likely a toxin."
McGuire said the two live birds were too weak for blood to be taken from them. If they also die, the blood will be taken then for testing,
Hundreds of thousands of migratory birds fly through southern California, visiting parks in Lake Forest, Laguna Niguel and Santa Ana. They stop at wetlands, marshes and riverbeds scattered throughout the region such as Upper Newport Bay, Bolsa Chica wetlands, San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary, San Diego Creek, Santa Ana River, Prado Dam and little lakes along the 91 freeway.
Trude Herd, project director at Sea & Sage Audubon in Irvine said that three-quarters of North America's shore and song birds and ducks migrate to or through Southern California.
Herd said if the culprit is botulism, the birds could have picked it up in soil hundreds of miles away and then dropped dead in Southern California locations.

|All Children's Hospital Honored for Support of Employees Who Serve in the Florida National Guard and Reserve
|The Florida Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), an agency of the Department of Defense, has recognized All Children's Hospital and Pharmacy Director, Kevin Olson with the Patriot Award.
The Patriot Award was created by the ESGR to publicly recognize individuals who provide outstanding patriotic support and cooperation to their employees.
Olson and All Children's Hospital were nominated by Major John Briggs (Ret.) of the 45th AES United States Air Force Reserve. Briggs is a staff pharmacist at ACH.
As a member of the Air Medical Evacuation Squadron South Command, Briggs served as an Officer in Charge of the operation center to evacuate U.S. Citizens from Haiti. Upon completion of that mission, he helped evacuate Haitians in need of hospitalization. All Children's Hospital treated some of the children evacuated under his operation.
Briggs thanked Olson and ACH for allowing him the flexibility with his work schedule. He also expressed appreciation to his colleagues for their support and willingness to assume additional responsibilities during his absence.
"We appreciate John's willingness to serve our Nation in this capacity," said John Harding, ACH Vice President of Operations, who was also recognized for his leadership and support of ESGR. "I'd also like to thank Kevin Olson and the Pharmacy team for covering John's duties in the Pharmacy during this unscheduled absence, especially since it occurred at a critical time just after the move to the new Hospital. It was a great team effort by all!"

Congratulations for Winning The # 6 Rank on 30 Day Points Leaders on 3/15/14 @ 04.30 PM
"We need to be smart about it but all types of energy generation have a place." Exactly! The previous Democratic governor signed off on the order in 2008, but he didn't approve enough work being done in time before he left office. They have enough wind, not enough money or time. Plus, big business isn't going in with the money like they had hoped. They want 3000 megawatts by 2020, 2000 by 2015 and they have 450 megawatts as of now. They're not going to make it in time for 2015 unless they put up somewhere between 600 and 720 new turbines, and it would mean at least 2 a day for the rest of the year. Not gonna happen.
Congratulations for being a gas buddy member for over two years and posting gas prices to help save money.. May 2014 bring you and yours peace and joy. Lets be buddies Thanks. Shep

Cross-border cooperation: Flood risk management in the Elbe river basin
01/10/2011This video takes you on a discovery of the ELLA+LABEL project, a cooperation initiative launched in 2003, with support from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), between the different countries of the Elbe River basin, with the aim of reducing flood risks. The project came about in the wake of the massive floods in 2002 which caused more than 100 deaths and resulted in some €12 billion of damages. Since then, the Central European countries affected by these floods have undertaken widespread cooperation in a bid to ensure that floods of such magnitude never happen again. The prevention mechanisms introduced have also resulted in the creation and development of many SMEs.
The ERDF in Germany's new Länder
10/01/2009"We want to be German Europeans and European Germans," said former Chancellor Helmut Kohl in relation to German reunification. Twenty years on, EU funds (ERDF) were allocated to the new federal states (Saxony, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Thuringia, Saxony-Anhalt, Brandenburg, and part of Berlin).The €46 billion between 1990 and 2013 are making success stories like Biocity in Leipzig and an urban development project in Merseburg possible.

Template:Connecticut legislature scorecards
Legislative scorecards are used to evaluate elected public officials based on voting record. Some scorecards are created by political advocacy groups with a focus on specific issues, while others are developed by newspapers and are broad in scope. Scorecards are meant to be used as a tool for voters to have a quick picture of whether their views align with a particular legislator's record.
Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state's legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
An overview for scorecards in all 50 states can be found on this page. To contribute to the list of Connecticut scorecards, email suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please see our writing guidelines if you would like to add results from an individual scorecard to this legislator's profile.

Hapoel Unet Holon boosted their hopes of reaching the Last 16 of the EuroChallenge and ended those of Armia Tbilisi as they came from behind for a 79-72 road win.
Jerome Dyson poured in 31 points and Franklin Hassell had 19 with 12 rebounds, but winless Armia put up a strong fight before succumbing in the second half.
The hosts, knowing they needed a win and a big one to stay alive, started hot and led 22-10 on Marcus Faison's three-pointer late in the first quarter.
Faison's driving lay-up had them up 32-20 early in the second, but Hapoel found their touch and a 9-2 run, capped by Hassell's three-point play, cut the lead.
Giorgi Gamqrelidze's three made it 46-36 to Armia before Dyson cut the gap to eight at half-time.
Armia were up by 10 once more on a Curtis Millage three to make it 53-43, but Hapoel responded with a 16-4 run to the end of the third quarter, taking the lead on Dyson's three-pointer.
Dyson hit another three to start the fourth but Armia were not done yet, and used a 7-0 run to tie it 65-65 on Millage's free throws.
It was 69-68 to Hapoel after Gamqrelidze's three with 3:25 left, but a 10-4 charge to the finish secured the win.
Millage led Armia with 23 points while Wilson had 20, Gamqrelidze 12 and Faison 10.
Lawrence Hill also reached double figures for Hapoel with 11 points and eight rebounds. The win improves Hapoel to 3-1 in Group H.
"Unfortunately we failed today. First of all I have to mention that we were unlucky today. At the beginning of the game Vladimer Boisa received very serious injury. I hope he will be back soon. We had big problems with rebounds. Despite many reasons, we fought today and did our maximum."
Armia guard Giorgi Gamqrelidze"First of all I would like to thank our fans. They stood with us till the end of the game. About the game I can say that the players and coaches have done their best but Holon were stronger today. We made some mistakes during rebounds and were unlucky at the opponent's basket."

|Louise James Named July DAISY Award Winner
Congratulations goes to Louise James, RN who is the recipient of the DAISY Award for July. Louise works at the Tampa Specialty Care Center and was nominated by a patients family.
The family said:
Louise is a very professional nurse. Her knowledge and expertise goes above and beyond. Not only does she treat patients with kindness but she affects families like ours as well. One of those times was when I had no one else to call for help when my father was diagnosed with a stage three-brain tumor. Unfortunately he was overseas and the illness was so sudden and serious that I called Louise and she was able to give me helpful advice and also a contact for a doctor that worked here and is now over there. She took the time to help me and did not turn away.
On behalf of the entire ACH staff, thank you, Louise, for your dedication to our patients and families.

• "A Curious Man: The Strange and Brilliant Life of Robert 'Believe It or Not' Ripley," by Neal Thompson. Copyright 2013, Crown Publishing Group, 432 pages, $26.
Before reading Neal Thompson's "A Curious Man: The Strange and Brilliant Life of Robert 'Believe It or Not' Ripley," my only impressions of the man and his franchise were from skimming through his books in my elementary school library and a visit to one of his "odditoriums" at Myrtle Beach.
I'm not sure if I even knew that there was a real person behind the name Ripley, but through Thompson's biography, I quickly learned that Ripley was an American phenomenon, beloved, or at least recognized, worldwide.
He was friends with the likes of Babe Ruth and Will Rogers, had a song written about him by Irving Berlin, and for a time, received close to 3,000 letters a day from his fans. Through the heady days of the 1920s, the hardships of the Depression, and the upheaval of World War II, Robert Ripley provided entertainment and diversion to an amazingly wide audience.
LeRoy Robert Ripley was born in 1890 and grew up in a working class family in Santa Rosa, Calif. Saddled with big ears, a stutter and horrible buckteeth that added to his speech impediment, young Ripley spent much of his childhood alone drawing or reading books about faraway places.
Despite his shyness, he was adventurous and loved to sneak off to Santa Rosa's Chinatown and explore the noisy, crowded shops and restaurants with all of their exotic sights and smells. His sense of adventure and curiosity would stay with him throughout his life and he would eventually make his living traveling worldwide to observe the bizarre and obscure and bring these "queeriosities" to the masses through his cartoons and, eventually, radio, film, books and a personal collection of artifacts.
Ripley began drawing seriously in high school when a thoughtful English teacher allowed him to execute his assignments through sketches, sparing him the humiliation of reading his papers to his classmates.
At age 19, his course in life was set when a freelance journalist boarding in the Ripley house recognized his talent and offered to take his portfolio to some of her newspaper cohorts in San Francisco. Several months later, Ripley was a cartoonist for the Press Democrat, and though not instantly successful, began his very illustrious career.
Ripley eventually ended up in New York working for some of the biggest names in journalism. Despite his lack of good looks and awkwardness, he possessed a confidence that allowed him to take chances and promote himself, and he was always a part of a large social circle.
Ripley was the quintessential man's man. He loved to drink and managed to do so quite well even through prohibition. He was athletic, playing baseball and handball at a semi-professional level. But he also was a lady's man and womanizer and almost always had an ever-changing entourage of beautiful women in his company.
The one point that Thompson makes again and again in "A Curious Man" is just how popular, successful and influential Ripley was during his career. One of his cartoons spurred Congress to finally and officially adopt "The Star-Spangled Banner" as our national anthem.
During the Great Depression, Ripley's cartoons were especially just what the people wanted, an entertaining diversion from all of their troubles, and in a 1936 national poll that asked young boys whose job they would most like to have, Robert Ripley came in No. 1, ahead of J. Edgar Hoover and James Cagney.
LeRoy Robert Ripley was an amalgamation of contradictions. He was odd-looking but had no trouble attracting women. He was shy and awkward but continually put himself in the limelight. He loved to travel and admired others from different cultures but at the same time looked down on them as backward and dirty.
Whatever he was, he was a curious man. To learn more, check out "A Curious Man" by Neal Thompson.

Federico Todeschini came off the bench to score 22 points as Argentina compounded England's misery with a 25-18 win at Twickenham.
Todeschini had flawless display with the boot and scored a crucial try after replacing Gonzalo Tiesi halfway through the first half.
Despite outscoring Argentina by two tries to one England were outclassed by better coached, more structured side who celebrated joyously as the home team marched off to jeering from a Twickenham crowd that has now seen the world champions go seven Test matches without a win.
Ultimately it was ill-discipline which cost the hosts, as the Argentina kickers sunk six of the eight penalties which they conceded in their half.
But to limit the win to kicking alone would be grossly inaccurate. The Pumas' forwards were dynamic in the tight-loose and their backs, led by the effervescent Gus Pichot, always looked dangerous with ball-in-hand.
England however were a shadow of the side that won the showpiece tournament in 2003, with forwards that had no clue and a backline that seemed to crab across the park given half a chance.
The first half was a dour, error-riddled affair which required a sensational score from England right wing Paul Sackey to ignite the contest.
Argentina would have felt pleased with their performance going into the break having dominated their hosts in all facets of play. The England backline never got going; due partly to well structured Pumas defence, but largely as a result of slow ball from the ruck base. The South Americans dominated the breakdown and displayed a superior level of intensity, regularly committing far more numbers and rucking and counter-rucking with rabid enthusiasm.
Pichot and co. put tremendous pressure on England scrumhalf Shaun Perry, never allowing the Bristol man time to line up his pass.
It took a moment of sublime skill and raw power for Sackey to break the 3-all deadlock in the 33rd minute. A set move from a lineout saw Anthony Allen then Charlie Hogson throw a cut-out pass, which found Sackey, who duly seethed through two defenders and glided past fullback Juan Martin Hernandez.
The 7-point lead was short lived though as substitute Todeschini sunk two penalties either side of the siren to give his side a 12-10 lead.
England were crying out for Hogson to take control of the match, but the embattled flyhalf continued his dire form, routinely making poor decisions and missing crucial touch finding kicks.
Andy Robinson had enough and replaced him with Toby Flood 8-minutes into the second half. But the coach would have been wondering if there was some kind of curse on the position when, within two minutes of coming on, Flood threw a speculative pass which was intercepted by Todesceni. 19-10 Argentina. England were reeling.
Even a 61st minute Iain Balshaw try couldn't prevent Argentina from recording their first win at Twickenham since 1997 and in the process heap tremendous pressure on Robinson whose career as the England head coach now looks as dead as the team he sent out today.
