July Really Was a Great Month for the Cubs and Other Bullets
I'm still feeling intermittent residual effects from the Blogathon. A healthy headache and some grogginess today. I think my body got used to the sharp increase in caffeine very quickly, and now it's howling at me for shutting off the supply …
- Not that you would expect him to think otherwise, but Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein is pleased with what the organization was able to accomplish in July. "I thought it was really a productive month of July," Epstein said, per Cubs.com. "We acquired a lot of young talent. A few buy-low guys, a few upside prospects, a few complementary type players. Obviously, it was quiet right at the Deadline, but looking at the month as a whole, we were really pleased. We'll see how it plays out, but all in all, I think things went well." You can read more of Epstein's positive thoughts in that article. I think that's just about right. Draft signings? Great. International signings? Great. Trades for good, young pieces? Great. Wrigley renovation (political) approval? Great. Hell, the Cubs even had a winning record in July!
- In a separate piece on Junior Lake, Epstein offered a fantastic summation (per Cubs.com): "I told Dale when he came up here, 'He's going to do things on the baseball field you haven't seen before – both good and bad – until he fully develops and matures. But it's going to be fun to watch and it's great to see this ball of clay being formed before your eyes." After his four-hit day yesterday – already the second of his career – Lake is hitting .358/.377/.582. The good news is that his BABIP continues to creep downward to a more reasonable range, though it remains an unsustainably high .408.
- More from Epstein on the progress of prospects, and how, even if they all start emerging at the big league level at the same time, that doesn't mean the team will be winning just yet.
- Reflections on Travis Wood's rare bad day yesterday.
- The Cubs have been inducted into the inaugural class at the National Gay and Lesbian Sports Hall of Fame. The Cubs have had a long-standing positive relationship with LGBT community, even before the Ricketts Family took over. Today's game will be the "Out at Wrigley" game, which will include rainbow flags flying, and special tickets that will also get you into the Hall of Fame induction ceremony later tonight.

Surveying Feast Week Carnage Around the Pac-12Posted by AMurawa on December 1st, 2014
Feast Week around the Pac-12 didn't bring a whole lot of comfort to the conference. Seven teams around the league played in tournament-style events and only two even made it out of their first game and into the championship side of the bracket, with four of the remaining five teams taking two losses on the week. There was good news, however, as Arizona won the Maui Invitational with a workmanlike win over San Diego State and Washington earned the Wooden Legacy title with solid wins over an underwhelming field. And the teams that did not participate in tournaments this week (including Utah, who hosted a round robin event against overmatched opponents) combined to post a 10-1 record. Of course, that "1" on the right side of the record was an inexplicable Stanford loss to DePaul. Below, we'll take a quick spin around the conference and get you caught up.
Arizona – The Wildcats have not yet looked spectacular this season, in racing out to a 6-0 start. But as they showed against the Aztecs on Wednesday, this is a team with chemistry and toughness, traits that should help them weather the storm as they work towards living up to their incredible upside. Things are coming along slowly but surely, Stanley Johnson is getting comfortable offensively and turning showing his ability to disrupt things defensively and everybody is feeling each other out. It will come all in due time; they've still got three months to dial things in before March rolls around. But in the meantime, even as we can pick apart little faults, the 'Cats have confirmed what we already thought: Sean Miller's team is the class of the conference. Read the rest of this entry »

Fascinated by the intersection between art and everyday life, Los Carpinteros (The Carpenters) merge architecture, design, drawing, and sculpture in quirky and unpredictable ways. Their carefully crafted constructions advance a humorous visual language of contradiction and transformation—like the utilitarian versus the useless and form versus function. Their drawings and studies, referencing technical drafts and blueprints, mock the early planning stages involved in making art. Los Carpinteros adopted the name for their collective in 1994 to embrace the guild tradition of artisans and skilled laborers.

What to CookAmanda & Merrill
Mary's Healthy Ice Cream Sandwiches
Every summer for the second half of August, my husband Tad's family decamps to a house in Wainscott, New York, that they've owned for 99 years. The big old house, which survived the 1938 hurricane, tolerates our wear and tear and seems to get more handsome by the year.
Our kids and their cousins spend their days going to the beach, catching crabs in the pond, playing tennis and soccer and flashlight tag, and then all collapsing into sleep in a pitched-ceiling room on the third floor, known as "The Crow's Nest." The parents, meanwhile, spend their days scrambling after the kids, sneaking in a little reading and tennis, and doing a lot of shopping and cooking.
Dinners are divided up so that each night just one person is in charge of the dinner for 12, giving everyone else a chance to relax a bit. On my cooking days, I tend to buy up as many tomatoes and ears of corn as possible from the farmstand, and head to The Seafood Shop for the main course.
On one of my nights this year, I made the Raspberry Ice Cream Sandwiches for dessert -– which were not only a Wildcard winner on the site, but a wild success among Tad's family. While we devoured them, my father-in-law's girlfriend, Mary -- yep, you can still have a girlfriend at age 81 -- told me about a favorite evening snack. She toasts two slices of whole wheat bread, and, while the bread's still warm, smushes a scoop of chocolate ice cream between the slices. Et voila, an instant ice cream sandwich that's the rag-tag cousin of pain au chocolat.
Mary insists the whole wheat bread makes it healthy. I like Mary.
I made her ice cream sandwiches for my next dinner. Everyone watched skeptically as I loaded up toasts with chocolate ice cream and passed them around the table. I didn't pull it off quite right -– I used a multi-grain baguette that was a bit too "multi" and baguette slices just aren't cushy enough.
But back in Brooklyn, I got it right.
I used a loaf of soft and nutty sandwich bread and used a cookie cutter to make circles.
The circles, once toasted, should be crisp but fluffy. You want them to work as a buffer for the ice cream.
I made the roundest scoops of ice cream in my power, and topped the sandwich with another warm toast cap. Then I smushed.
And smushed. And smushed it down. Until the ice cream spread to the edge of the toast. These two little beauties look like they're posing, don't they? Wouldn't you?
There's no need to tweak this simple treat but, if you must, try adding flaky salt, or a warm, toasted marshmallow, or some hazelnut butter, slathered on the toast.
But wait -- we're not done yet! Remember the bread with the cut-out circle? No need to waste it -- this is a twofer, a recipe that would make Tamar Adler proud. Eat your ice cream sandwiches, and in the morning use the bread frames for Toad in a Hole or Merrill's One-Eyed Sandwiches.
Mary's Healthy Ice Cream Sandwiches
Serves 4 (or many)
- 8 slices of your favorite whole wheat bread
- 4 large scoops of your favorite chocolate ice cream

1. Re: DX58SO & Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver 10.1.0.1008Victor_Intel Mar 13, 2012 3:48 PM (in response to tjg79)
Hello tjg79,
I see that you are having problems installing the drivers for your motherboard.
At this point, I can confirm you that the drivers posted on the Intel(R) web site are working correctly and have been tested by us, the issue that you are experiencing seems related to a configuration problem or a hardware compatibility problem.
First I recommend you to make sure that the RAM memory that is being used is compatible with your motherboard and processor. Please keep in mind that your processor only supports memory that is 1066MHz at 1.5v. If the memory is not within those specifications then it may be the cause of the problems.
If the problem continues and you confirmed the the memory is fully compatible, please get in BIOS, load the defaults with F9, then change the SATA configuration for Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) or RAID mode ( for Windows* 7) and then press F10 to save and exit.
Proceed with a fresh install of the operating system, remember to run the INF file/ chipset driver before any other driver. Once you run that file you can continue with any order you prefer.
2. Re: DX58SO & Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver 10.1.0.1008tjg79 Mar 13, 2012 7:21 PM (in response to Victor_Intel)
Thank you for the response Victor,
I checked the memory compatibility for my board from the Intel DX58SO motherboard specs online and I am within specs for the board. My present memory is Corsair XMS3 DDR3 TR3X6G1600C9 1.65V Ver. 2.3 (PC3 12800). I've been running this memory with my i7-920 cpu for three years without issue. Also, the Intel specs indicate the DX58SO & i7-920 are compatible. I haven't seen any cpu/memory compatibility specs, but if they exist, I'm sure I'm within spec.
I've tried BIOS defaults for RAID & AHCI without success.
Presently, I've just done a complete install of Win 7 Pro x64 with bios set for RAID and all the Intel drivers except the RAID: Intel RST driver. Everything works fine until I attempt to install the RAID: Intel RST driver.
I always install the chipset driver first.
Intel support has started a case number for my issue. I haven't heard anything yet. I let you know what they suggest.
3. Re: DX58SO & Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver 10.1.0.1008tjg79 Mar 14, 2012 2:55 PM (in response to Victor_Intel)
After "discussing" this issue with several Intel tech support reps via chat and the telephone, a very astute Intel tech lady recommended I install the Intel RAID RST driver for the DX58SO2 & DX58OG boards running Win7 Pro x64. That driver version is 184.108.40.2062. The driver loaded without causing any issues and the RST utility appears to be fully functional on a very stable system.
So, contrary to the official Intel position that the installed memory was not compatibile with the i7-920 cpu, that doesn't appear to be the case. The system is running fine and the bios indicates the memory is running at 1066Mhz.
Per the CMTL tested memory list on the Desktop Boards, Intel Desktop Board DX58SO System Memory, The Corsair TR3X6G1600C9 memory was tested and passed on the DX58SO with a 3.2GHz CPU, probably the i7-960 which has the same memory spec as the i7-920.
The Intel tech rep indicated that this info would be reported to engineering for evaluation.
4. Re: DX58SO & Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver 10.1.0.1008tjg79 Mar 14, 2012 3:16 PM (in response to tjg79)
The Intel Desktop Control Center indicates the Memory Bus is at 1080MHz and the memory voltage is set to 1.54V.

Did you know that many archaeologists partner with the public to explore archaeological sites?
Community groups, descendents of former site occupants, and local historians are just some of the many interested parties who work side-by-side archaeologists in exploring the past. Archaeologists frequently look to local residents for historical information or for assistance in the actual excavation of a site.
See some examples of archaeological partnerships
Community Involvement in Archaeology
Many archaeologists want the public to be directly involved in archaeological projects. After all, it is your community and your heritage being studied! Become an active participant in archaeology research and determine for yourself what archaeological resources mean to you and to your community.

Explore these stories. You may be surprised!
What is this type of 'partnering' called?
Archaeologists have many names for projects in which archaeologists and interested members of the public work together. These include 'public archaeology', 'community archaeology', 'collaborative archaeology', 'civic engagement', and 'applied heritage research'. These terms are often used interchangeably.

MILWAUKEE, WI – For years, any weight-loss aficionado could easily tell you the best sources of dietary fiber: whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables. But in today's environment, things have changed. Grocery store shelves have become crowded with traditionally low-fiber foods that are now packed with fiber, like candy, ice cream, and artificial sweeteners.
According to TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofit weight-loss support organization, these "new fiber" foods may not yield the same health benefits as their traditional high-fiber food counterparts.
Defining Fiber
Dietary fiber – also called roughage – is defined by the Institute of Medicine as the edible, nondigestible component of carbohydrate and lignin found naturally in plant food. Fiber is not digested or absorbed in the small intestine, and it does not contribute calories; rather, bacteria in the stomach metabolize the fibrous parts of food. When you eat a food that contains a natural source of dietary fiber, you are said to be eating intact fiber.
Added fiber consists of isolated, nondigestible carbohydrates that have beneficial physiological effects in humans. These fibers can be synthetically manufactured or derived from other plant or animal sources. An example of an added fiber is pectin extracted from citrus peel and used as a gel in making jam or jelly. Generally, added fiber is referred to as isolated or functional fiber.
Total fiber is the sum of dietary (or intact) fiber plus added (or isolated or functional) fiber. Things can seem confusing on the Nutrition Facts panel of food packaging because "dietary fiber" includes all sources of fiber in that food, whether they are from intact or isolated sources. This is why you can see upwards of ten grams of dietary fiber listed for a fiber-fortified flour tortilla that traditionally would have only one or two grams of fiber.
Fiber can help lower cholesterol, regulate blood sugar, and promote satiety or the feeling of fullness.
According to The Institute of Medicine, women ages 50 and younger should consume 25 grams of fiber per day. Women ages 51 and older should aim for 21 grams per day. For males, those 50 and under need 38 grams per day, and men ages 51 and older should consume 30 grams of fiber per day.
Isolated vs. Intact Fiber
According to Katie Clark, M.P.H., R.D., C.D.E., Assistant Clinical Professor of Nutrition at the University of California – San Francisco and nutrition expert for TOPS, the health benefits of intact fiber are widely accepted among health professionals.
Researchers who study the effects of fiber on health have done so largely by analyzing the dietary fiber that occurs naturally in high-fiber foods. But do the health benefits of dietary fiber extend to synthetically manufactured or extracted fibers added to traditionally low-fiber foods? The American Dietetic Association (ADA) maintains that, "Whether isolated, functional fibers provide protection against cardiovascular disease remains controversial." The ADA's position paper on dietary fiber goes on to say, "Longer-term studies of fiber intake which examine the effects of both intrinsic (intact) and functional (isolated) fibers…are required."
"Because we don't know to what degree the health benefits of dietary fiber are attributable to intact fibers (the additional nutrients in those high-fiber foods), most dietitians and nutrition professionals are recommending that consumers focus on eating foods that are naturally high in fiber," says Clark.
Whole foods such as whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables are not only high in fiber, but low in salt, devoid of added sugar, and tend to be lower in calories than processed and packaged foods. Many of the isolated fiber foods on the market are highly processed and are high in salt, added sugars, and extra calories.
"Much like the notion that 'organic junk food is still junk food,' keep in mind that a 'high-fiber cookie is still a cookie!'" notes Clark.
Side of Package Sleuthing
To determine whether the fiber in a food product comes from an intact or isolated source, you should search the ingredients list on food packaging.
The most common isolated fibers that manufacturers use to bulk-up traditionally low-fiber foods are:
• Maltodextrin
• Inulin (chicory root)
• Polydextrose
• Oat fiber
• Resistant start
• Pectin
• Gum
Keep in mind that rapidly increasing the amount of fiber in your diet can lead to gas, bloating, and other gastrointestinal discomfort. Drinking more water alongside increasing fiber intake and slowly increasing fiber intake by a few grams per day can help alleviate symptoms.
By increasing the amount of whole grains and legumes in your diet and making sure to eat five to seven servings of fruits per day, it's quite possible to meet your dietary fiber needs without eating fiber-fortified or isolated fiber foods. Eating whole foods that are naturally high in fiber are oftentimes more satiating – and less expensive – than foods that contain functional fiber or are fiber-fortified.
"Fiber can be an important tool in weight loss, diabetes management, and reducing the risk for other chronic diseases," says Clark. "When selecting high-fiber foods, look for whole fiber foods over fake fiber foods to maximize your health potential."

Dora the Explorer Episodes:
I often tape episodes of the girls' favorite shows, label them and pull them out when doing a particular theme. This is especially useful for birthday parties and may come in handy for teachers and daycare workers. For example, if I'm having a fairy tale theme during the week, I might choose Episode #112 of Dora (a Little Red Ridinghood story) and show it.
I've added links to some of the sections on the site that I might use to go with the episodes. They aren't Dora the Explorer crafts -- they're generic crafts that would go with the story. For specific Dora the Explorer crafts, check out the Dora the Explorer Section of the site.
Episode #101: The Big Red Chicken
Dora reads Boots the story of "The Legend of the Big Red Chicken." Boots asks Dora to take him to
see the chicken. They set off across the bridge, over the gate, and to the Big Red Hill, where they

Suggestion: Bird Toilet Paper Roll Craft -- have the children color it blue (Age 3+).
Episode #103: Hic-Boom-Ohhh
Dora and Boots start hearing a strange sound coming from somewhere in the distance. They set out to find out what it is. They have to go across the Noisy River, through the Quiet Forest, and that's how they'll reach the Yellow Valley, from where the sound is coming. When they get there, they discover that the sound is Benny the Bull hiccupping.
Episode #104: Beaches
It's a very hot day in the Rainforest. Dora and Boots decide that they need to get to the Beach in order to cool off. To get to the Beach, they have to go through the Dunes, over the Boardwalk, and that's how they'll get to the Beach. They finally get there and are joined in the water by all their friends.
Episode #105 : We All Scream For Ice Cream
Dora and Boots hear the tune of an ice cream truck in the distance and set off to catch up to it. They
have to go over Strawberry Mountain, across Chocolate Lake, and that's how they'll get to Coney
Island, the ice cream trucks next stop.
Suggestion: DLTK's Ice Cream Section various ages
Episode #106: Choo Choo
Dora and Boots set out to help the Little Blue Train win the race to the Big Yellow Station so that he
can win the grand prize, a new whistle.

Episode #107: Treasure Island
Dora and Boots come across the Pirate Parrot, who tells them about the Pirate Pig and his treasure
chest chock full of gold, chocolate cupcakes with pink frosting, and - Boots's favorite - STICKERS!

Online Reputation Protection Specialist JW Maxx Solutions Exposes Three New Solutions to Help Fix Online Reputation
February 15, 2013 --
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 15, 2013
JW Maxx Solutions is an online reputation protection specialist that helps a lot of organizations, and also small companies, manage their online reputations. Nowadays the majority of customers go online to find out information about a company. Some businesses still dont understand what reputation management is even though 90 percent of consumers use the internet to research them. It is because of this that JW Maxx Solutions is revealing the top three things that companies need to do when managing their online reputation.
JW Maxx Solutions is an online reputation protection specialist that knows the value of continuously monitoring a reputation. A lot of companies dont even know what their reputation looks like before they enter the workplace of an online reputation protection specialist. All it takes is a quick internet search done by the company to see what their reputation. This will be the best way to see what they look like online. This is also a great place for an online reputation protection specialist to begin.
JW Maxx Solutions notes that it is also important the companies help improve their own reputation management strategies. If the company is on their own, or being helped by an online reputation protection specialis t, they need to be focused at each stage of the plan. It will be simple for an online reputation protection specialist to create a strategy for the future of a companys reputation. This can include creating new websites, social media, and also responding to any internet feedback from customers. Whether this is direct responses on a site or releasing articles and press releases.
In the field of reputation management, bad press is only bad press, so it is important for companies to focus on containing the negative while promoting the positive press. Companies should also make note of what their online reputation looks like as time goes by so as to see how their reputation has improved.
Lastly, JW Maxx Solutions always suggests enlisting the support of a professional online reputation protection specialist if a company is having a tough time getting their online reputation in order. CEO of JW Maxx Solutions, Walter Halicki, has said, Business owners must take handle of their online reputations, to prevent a reduction in sales from adverse feedback. In this digital age, a company cannot afford to neglect their online reputation as not knowing how they appear online could lead to going out of business.
Now is when companies need to concentrate on their online reputation. Since it is so important, most companies seek out support from a specialist. Reputation management can be difficult but a firm that specializes in online reputation protection, such as JW Maxx Solutions, can spend the time needed to enhance and improve an online reputation effectively. Every wasted day is lost business, which is why more and more companies are enlisting the help of online reputation protection specialists like JW Maxx Solutions.

ORCHARD PARK, NEW YORK -- I had been watching strange pigmentation on my cat's gums. It looked like tartar, but because when I tried brushing his teeth, the tartar/ pigmentation actually moved. Then they'd move right back to where they were. I called vets, was told they were fleas, to use Advantage to kill them, it didn't. They said try it once a week, it still did not work. I'd found strange things in Honey's canned food, like larvae, open larvae, & pieces of larvae. I'd called the cat food companies to report it. It scared me, I had lost his brother to poison cat food. So, I started to call them & even started saving these things & pieces of them in a jar.
Purina & Nestle sent me a nice letter, coupons & even a small check & said to keep them notified. Finally after a year or so, the bugs increased, I researched day & night. I saw monsters inside me on Animal Planet, & found Shirley's Wellness Cafe online. It was about parasites. I realized I also had several of the symptoms too. I touched one of these "fleas' with a cue tip with a little oral gel. They were flat against his gums, like leeches or flukes. I'd called many vets, the CDC, SUNY of Buffalo, Board of Health, PetMeds, & Tropical Center for Disease Control. I was trying to find a professor who taught veterinary & bat parasites at UB South campus.
I wanted her to look at these things before I did anything, but I couldn't reach her before he was in pain. I can't stand it to see him hurt. He was my family. I made sure he was never hurt or abused, or was around anyone that didn't like animals. He was the most loving, trusting, protected cat I ever had. Honey was so sweet he never growled, bit, hissed or had a mean bone in his body. I never even made him spend one night home alone. I swore to protect this cat after his brother died, we were both devastated to lose him. I had lost my family too, so it was just me and my Honey Boy.
No one had ever heard of creatures on gums, so I started looking to find out what they were. I went to a homeopathic site. They suggested using mint on a cue tip to kill them. It didn't kill them, but they moved from one place to another. I knew they were some kind of parasite, flat, about 1/2" long. I started him and myself on a homeopathic dewormer.
I had already tried treating my cat for fleas. He had no fleas when I took him to the vet, but these "things" were still there. I started studying parasites because my poor cats jaw was in pain. He started sighing. He slept with his little head on my arm & his face towards me. I noticed him moaning in his sleep. His jaw would move. It got so I had to get up every night to put vaseline on his little gums just for some relief. I was on the phone & computer everyday trying to find somewhere "safe" to take him. I did not want to take his somewhere where no one ever heard of it.
I found a herbologist Vet who had heard of it. I ordered herbs from her. Honey & I both started taking them together. People can get parasites too. But she had left for a few weeks, & my car had caught on fire. But my cat was hurting, so a friend stopped over, I asked him to take me to get a sample and get it analyzed.
I finally took him to Banfield Vet clinic in Petsmart, 4325 Amelia Drive, Orchard Park, NY 14127 716 821 7961. Honey, my very sweet cat, had never been sick a day in his life except for these things on his gums. He was an indoor cat, so he had to get them from cat food.
The Vet, Dr **, gave him an exam & remarked was a sweet cat he was. On his exam he was in excellent condition. She said his gums were perfect too, and it was pigmentation on his gums. But, she'd give him anesthesia, keep him all night, to get a sample. I did not want him to spend the night in a hospital. I told her we were both already on parasite medicine. She shot Panacur down his throat, & gave me another syringe to give to him 4/5/2011. It had no brand name, side effects, or any of the normal info you get with a prescription. By the time he got home he was in distress.
He started throwing up green, howling, hiding, got a temperature, was terrified and kept trying to go potty but could not. He was in great pain within hours of leaving that Vet. His urinary tract was blocked he was going to die & I had to surrender him to 10 lives to save his life.10 lives refused to acknowledge the parasites, in fact they hang up on me when I tell them to please take a sample. I love my cat, he was my all. I never spent a night away from him. I have offered everything I own, which isn't much, but I begged them to take a sample. I know they're creatures, & parasites are contagious.
Since no one ever heard of this, they refuse to even listen to me. I've done my homework. I would never put my cat in harms way. I've been disabled because a Doctor misdiagnosed me & gave me a drug that dropped my to my knees in a few hours. I had to "get treated" for multiple illnesses I never had. They were side effects. I had to apply for disability, I lost my new business & suffered great pain. I never wanted my pets to go through that.
It took me 5 years to figure out it was Amoxicillin. I had "Highly Allergic to Penicillin on all my charts, even at the pharmacy. When I took it, I never dreamed they'd give me something like that. It ruined my life. Now, I see this cat I adore going through the same thing, and they won't even talk to me because they think I'm crazy.
Panacur is Fenbendazole, it is not recommended for cats & is toxic in fish, reptiles & birds. His reaction to Panacur was similar to mine with the Amoxicillin. My doctor denied I had side effects that ruined my life, like this Vet is denying the Panacur caused the episode. She screamed that I was was "Rude, I knew everything, it was not the Panacur, and I was NEVER going to get my cat back! And slammed the phone down on me." Thank you Dr.**.
There's no name of the company that Panacur came from. You can try Intervet but if you call they say they're no longer active since 2/7. Panacur is Fenbedazole. It's toxic in birds, fish & reptiles. If you go to Petsmart or Petmeds there is no cat Panacur. Banfield vets are in Petsmart. My cat almost died, I can't stop crying, and my cat is up for adoption at 10 lives in Hamburg, NY. The vets refuse to take a sample of the parasites, why? They say they never heard of it. It is a death sentence for my cat, because no one will even talk to me about it. They hang up on me. I am devastated.
Plus, if it's parasites, they're highly contagious. Why not be safe than sorry? I am so confused I do not know what to do do. Please, can anyone help us? I can no longer think, my body & mind is wrecked with pain. I cannot stop crying, and I know he only knows me. He loves me, & he was sad enough when his brother died.
If they adopt him out they're not going to know he's moaning, crying & moaning in his sleep because of his gums. I used to have to get up and put vaseline in his gums so he could sleep. Especially when they won't even try to check his poor little gums. Despite the fact that I even have the report just before he started throwing up & went into distress that he was in A+ condition, they still think somehow I caused this obstruction. This is crazy.
I'd like to add I rescue animals up to and including a 6 foot boa in a creek. Not only have I rescued 1000 of animals, but I did it on my own dime. People knew me, so they'd leave animals in my car, cellar, backyard, call me screaming if an animal was in trouble, & give me animals they could no longer keep. I never counted the amount I spent nor the number of animals I saved.
This ** at 10 Lives said "I put $700 in that cat, you're never going to get him back, CLICK!" I was shocked! Another woman kept screaming "answer my questions, answer my questions!" I was in shock & in tears, I pleaded with her to please let me answer. She just kept interrupting every time I started to explain.. She said she did 300+ rescues, then slammed the phone down too. Her name was **. I think she was from HEART. Many times I put my last dime up to save somebody's pet, calling vets on Christmas eve, begging them to save a pet's life someone else had brought to me, begging me to help the animal.
Please. I need a lawyer or someone to help me get my cat back, and stop this Vet from harming other beloved pets. I spend all day calling every lead I get, but it seems there's no one that protects the animal from Vets.
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA -- I brought my 5 year old Pug in just over a month ago for his vaccinations, as well as a few lumps on his belly and rear end that were of concern. I am fairly new to Banfield, and have only taken my other dog (a 15 year old Chow) in for treatment of lupus. I have been working with Dr. ** with both of my dogs, and he seems like a knowledgeable and empathetic Dr. He treated my Chow beautifully, as he is living out his golden years quite comfortably. Let me mention that due to my own disables status, finances are very tight right now, but I do the absolute best I can to care for my animals.
Anyhow, when I first brought Yoda in to discuss the lumps, it was determined that he had mast-cell tumors. We discussed possibly treatments that I could budget for, but the nurse did talk me into signing up for the wellness plan. Thinking that we could possibly get the tumors taken care of, this wouldn't be a bad idea for overall care. Anyhow, I hadn't yet been able to schedule the removal of his tumors, and my Pug fell quite ill a few days ago. Head tilt, lethargy, etc... I took him in immediately, and the Dr. suspected an inner ear infection.
Considering the mast tumors, there's always a possibility of spreading, however - the overall signs at the time didn't indicate that it was tumor related. They sent me home with antibiotics and special calorie dense food to feed him. He would eat, but only by hand and I had to work to get him to drink. The following day, he declined, so I brought him back in. This was yesterday. Dr. ** suggested - and I agreed - to go ahead and keep him overnight for IV fluids and antibiotics. We went to visit my dog at 6:30 pm last night, and he seemed a bit perkier, but overall lethargic (although he had just come out of anesthesia).
I spoke with another Dr. this morning (Dr. ** was not in today) to see how he was. At 9:30 am, he seemed to be improving, and they expected that I could take him home that afternoon (wanted to watch him for the rest of the day). I didn't hear from them in the afternoon, so I called at 3:00 pm to see how he was. I was told by the front desk girl that he was ready to go and I could come pick him up. My 7 year old son and I were very excited that he was going now, assuming that he responded well to the fluids.
Upon arrival, we were asked to wait and they'd let the staff in the back know we were there (please bear in mind, at this point, they knew I was there only with only my 7 year old son). Prior to putting me in a room, they had me satisfy my bill. They then put us in a room, where, after waiting nearly 5 minutes, the Dr. came in and told us, with no regard that I had a child with me, that Yoda was not doing well and that he was being kept alive on oxygen. I am trying to hold in tears as to not alarm my son, but was disarmed, not knowing how to proceed with him in the room and I couldn't send him out into the store on his own.
The Vet proceeded to tell me that when they took him outside to "go potty", he was still ill-responsive and was very unsteady on his feet. He then noticed flickering in his eyes, and was certain, at this indication, that we were dealing with a brain tumor rather than an infection (particularly since he didn't respond to the antibiotics). As hard as I tried, I became hysterical along with my son, and had to call a neighbor to come meet me there so she could care for my son while I handled the issue with my dog. My husband was still about 30 minutes out, trying to make it as quickly as he could.
My neighbor and son waited outside while my other neighbor sat with me as I held my dog, having him die in my arms. Please know that this complaint is not that I am dissatisfied with the overall care my dog received. Dr. ** is a fine Vet. I am absolutely appalled and shocked that they would "prepare" me to take my dog home, see that I have a small child in tow upon arrival, put on a perfect poker face to collect my money, and have me enter a room with a little boy expecting to take his dog home to only have the Vet come in and tell us he's dying. Had I been given any indication that the vet "needed to discuss something with me", I would have left my son with family or friends.
By the time my husband arrived, our dog had already moved on. He was livid that my son was present, and let the staff know his feelings. Losing a pet is part of loving them, and I understand that, but the extra trauma put upon me to have my son learn the news in a way I would have never exposed him to amplifies my grief. Plus, I am now reading stories with the understanding that Banfield will continue to charge me the $40 a month for a wellness plan for an animal that no longer exists.
This is only my first effort of putting my complaints into print. Banfield is next. I know that they cannot bring my dog back, but I, at minimum, want an explanation and an appropriate apology about their process. The only economical damage was the $500 spent to treat him, however, that is to be expected. I don't blame them for attempting the treatment for an inner ear infection. I am on disability myself, and our household funds are not such where we have an extra $500 to handle these situations, but we made it work for our dog. Where I am heartsick is that I will continue paying $40 a month for a dog that cannot use the"wellness plan".
I can't even transfer it to my other dog. There was no physical damage, but there was a level of emotional damage put upon my son. He understands death, however, he should have heard it from me, elsewhere, in a way that a mother explains it. He is now frightened of the Vet office, and, in turn, since it is located in our local Petsmart store, he will no longer go in there. The way they handled this was traumatic and will leave a long term, negative lasting effect on him.
DEPTFORD, NEW JERSEY -- Banfield in Deptford, NJ KILLED my dog, Missy, a 6 year old Pomeranian. They gave her oxygen without my knowledge or consent, then when I found out, I told them to stop and they DEFIED me, ignored what I wanted, snatched my dog from me when she was fine just breathing a little heavy from the stress they caused her, they put her back on oxygen and KILLED her. Then they tried to blame her death on her heart disease.
I KNOW she had heart disease. I have never been in denial about that. If that is what killed her that dreadful day on 11/25/2014, I could accept it. However, that is NOT what killed her that day, those 2 incompetent doctors killed her! You can read her story at **.
CANTON, OHIO -- Sorry this is so lengthy, please read. I put our Gus on the senior wellness plan at Banfield in Canton, Ohio. Major mistake. Whole Banfield system is worthless, unqualified and the optimum wellness plan is a scam too. My standard size dachshund 14 yrs old, diabetic and insulin dependent, very sick and for those you who don't know vets will insist on a "blood glucose curve", where the pet is kept all day and their blood sugar is checked every 2 hours $125. Been there, done this w/ other vets. Banfield insisted on 2 curves totaling $250 added to his wellness plan.
I checked his readings for 2 yrs poking his upper lip. Had this down to a routine and recorded his numbers. When I refused the manager/vet informed me they wouldn't treat him anymore. Told them to "kiss off", Gus is 14 yrs old and very sick and blind not putting him through trauma. His readings were out of control yes, curve doesn't fix this. Very difficult to control his glucose readings. My experience with vets it's not about teaching you how to control blood sugar levels, it's more about charging for curves. These vets thought I was stupid.
Pets with diabetes requiring insulin is a racket at most vets offices including Banfield. They don't care about normal readings. Is this what graduates from these prestigious vet schools now? I found an older vet who understood and showed me how to maintain a normal range without the curves. Comparing my readings to his and they were in sync. These levels have to be checked at home daily not just 2 days at vets office $250 later. This older vet helped me keep Gus more comfortable in his final days than any vet in 2 yrs he had since diagnosed w/ diabetes.
Conclusion: Banfield's wellness plan is a scam. Stay away if pet is diabetic or major illness. You may leave from visit not paying anything upfront, but you'll rack up more charges for unnecessary procedures. If living in Canton, Oh go to Dr. **, Mellett animal hospital. He will even draw you a diagram if needed. Stay away from Banfield!!!
PARKER, COLORADO -- I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the treatment received at your Parker, Colorado location. My cats Neko-San and Charlie have been enrolled in your Optimum Wellness Plan since March 2010. On 21 November 2011 at approximately 7:10 AM I delivered them to the Banfield location in Parker, Colorado for a health checkup and annual dental cleaning. I signed the usual treatment consent forms, and a separate form regarding their dental cleanings. I authorized extractions up to $50 per cat. I inquired as to the cost of an extraction and was advised by the receptionist that it would be between $10 and $20 per tooth.
At approximately 1 PM I received a phone call from Dr. **. He told me that Neko would require 11 extractions, and that the cost would be in the $1,000 range, plus about $300 - 400 for medications. I did not authorize the procedure for several reasons. Neko is 13 years old, and I feared that losing 11 teeth would not only cause him severe pain, but would also adversely affect his quality of life. Less than two hours later, I received a second phone call from Dr. ** advising me that Charlie needed between 3 and 5 extractions. Again, I did not authorize the procedure.
As a retired senior on a limited income, I can ill afford to spend close to $2000 on pet care, in addition to monthly wellness plan premiums of $62.90. I picked the cats up from Banfield shortly after 4:30 pm. Both appeared a little drowsy. The necessity of the extractions was again emphasized by Dr. ** and a vet tech. I was not informed of any other potential health problems.
I telephoned my previous veterinarian who retired several years ago and discussed the cats' dental health with him. He referred me to his family's veterinarian whom I consulted on 26 November 2011. I had downloaded the lab test results and treatment history of both cats from the Banfield website. After examining the cats and the lab results, he told me that he saw no reason or need for the extreme procedures recommended by Dr. **.
I no longer have any confidence in the Banfield staff and will not return there for my cats' care. I request that the cats' Wellness Plans be terminated effective at the end of November 2011. I will share my experience with my friends and advise them to consider alternatives to Banfield. I look forward to a written response at your earliest convenience. I have yet to receive a written response. Banfield continues to hound me by telephone for payments of the wellness plan, leaving messages demanding that I call them.
TOWSON, MARYLAND -- I have recently adopted a cat from the shelter and was given $30 coupon towards Banfield Pet Hospital & thought I give them a try. I always do my research for most everything being on the net all the time & love info on things (eg. pet insurances, how to care for my cat, recipes, how to, advises etc.). I did a review search on Banfield and it took me to here, pissed Consumer Reports, Yelp, some other review sites and see nothing but consumer complaints... so I got "the idea" of how Banfield really is. I still went, seeing is believing right?
When I was there, sure enough like all the complaints... they try to sell me this and that (my DD even crack a joke on the Kitty needing "Surrrgerrry" in a funny voice) plus the "Wellness plan" that will be the same monthly payment as any "pet insurance" and then stressing that "it is NOT an insurance." Mind you, anything not under "wellness" will be $$$$$$ extra (but of course).
The vet tech was trying so hard to sell me the "wellness" that they told me that day's visit would be $180 plus (since "wellness is $200 plus for the year; the vet tech played it so it is like a huge savings)!!! (Thinking I was stupid of course! What an insult plus turn me right off!!!) So I ask her what the basic physical without all the rest of the crap cost, then he sheepishly said $44. I said "OK, I'll do just that!" They also charge me $3 for a disposal fee for just throwing an "ear swab" from my cat into the trash can. (NOT into any "special" container for medical disposal for Christ sake!)
I am pissed, yes. Here forth, I sincerely believed that this Banfield Practice is nothing but a "Money making" scheme thought up by "evil companies" just trying to suck your hard earn money! So even if you bring your pets in, the Banfield practice WILL try to SELL you everything (from "plans" to drugs & surgeries that your pet MAY NOT NEED, hence endangering their lives plus sucking your $$$$) & anything to mark up their intake $$$$.
I promised myself I would share my more than FAIR reviews on Banfield after my visit. Hey, I did give them A CHANCE to prove the reviews here wrong by spending my $$$ on them. To all consumers: DO NOT get suck into buying from Banfield "wellness plans"! Why? #1) Then *YOU* be STUCK "with them" plus still have to dish out extra $$$$ for so many "uncovered" expenses <-- *REMEMBER* even Banfield says *The PLAN IS NOT an insurance* (so warning there)!!! #2) Pet Insurances are even a bit *less* than "wellness" if you do shop around! Don't BE "Banfield Pet Hospital's" SUCKERS!
I took my 2 year old bull dog to get his shots updated. They had me leave him there for a couple of hours and they said that he was stressed out and sedated him without my permission. He got sick from the medication vomited and choked to death. To add insult to injury I talked to an old classmate who used to work there and found out this wasn't the first otherwise healthy pet who died in their care during routine services.
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA -- Banfield Pet Hospital Location No. 109 at Pasadena, California, do not honor appointments. We have waited 1.5 hours for an appointment we made, for each visit. It seems there is no point in making an appointment as they treat all customers on a walk-in basis. We made a complaint re the above and their response was to cancel our insurance. Their insurance, Wellness Plan, does not prorate, so if the service is bad, you have to stay with the vet for the remainder of the year.
WOODINVILLE, WASHINGTON -- My 17 year old daughter took our elderly poodle, Waldo, in for grooming on a Friday and received a call that his nose had started bleeding during the grooming (he has never had a nosebleed before). He was sent over to the vet clinic to be checked out. The tech on the phone told my daughter that he might have a tumor and that they would need to do x-rays. She became very upset and called me at work. She sobbingly told me that Waldo was bleeding and really sick and might die because they thought he might have a tumor. He had already been diagnosed with a weak larynx and sometimes has dry coughs.
This vet told me when I called that this was untrue and that it was a symptom of a heart murmur. He strongly recommended x-rays to rule out the tumor and insisted that Waldo had a heart murmur. He prescribed antibiotics for a nasal infection, saying that was the best way to start treatment and that they would call with the results of the x-rays.
As I was paying $460.00 for the visit, the vet came out and spoke to another gentleman. He was telling him that his dog needed x-rays to rule out a condition and I was thinking how odd that it sounded so generic and just like the conversation I had just had. I felt that this was the way they were making money. I looked at my bill and saw the outrageous charges. It was all related to the x-rays. I even had to pay a fee for a specialist to decipher them.
In conclusion, the vet would not give me a diagnosis from the x-rays. We had to wait to hear from the specialist, which we never did. I paid this outrageous fee with no diagnosis to date. (3 weeks) I have called and the vet is supposed to return my call... waiting... I sure wish I had looked online for other consumer reviews before I allowed treatment for my pet. Good luck.

Older News » Online safety tipsLast updated 10:55 AM on 15 September 2011
These days kids are now just as likely to spend time on the internet as the beach.
Why is it so important to them? Watch this video to hear teens talk about how they use social media and what they think about cyberbullying.
With many kids about to spend more time online these holidays, Click- a technology guide for parents looks at the latest research and advice for parents about cyberbullying and how to keep kids safe online.
Printable facts sheets - Holiday tips for parents, teens and younger children
What to do about cyberbullying
The key isn't to take the technology away but to spend time reinforcing some basic rules of good cyber citizenship.
When you're writing:
- Be friendly and polite to other people online - just as you would be face to face.
- Be patient - if you are upset about something, wait ten minutes before you write a message. Remember, once you hit "send" it has gone into cyberspace forever!
- Use emoticons to indicate you are joking, smiling - they can totally change how someone reads your message.
- Keep your private details private. Never give your password or logon details to anyone.
If someone upsets you:
- Don't jump to conclusions. Was it meant as a joke? Written messages are easily misinterpreted because we convey much of our meaning through facial expressions and our tone of voice.
- Don't respond to bullies. If a bully is baiting you, the worst thing you can do is respond.
- Block them. Unfriend them, remove them from your list of contacts or have your phone company block them from phoning/ texting you.
- Give yourself some time out. Don't keep rereading upsetting messages.
If you're being bullied:
- Try to have the abusive messages deleted. If you can't do that yourself, report the abuse and ask for it to be removed.
- Tell your parents or an adult you trust if you or a friend receive hurtful messages, texts, emails etc.
- Keep all harassing emails (and any replies you've made) as evidence. Save them, but don't reread them.
To help stop cyberbullies:
- Be a supportive friend. If you see someone bully your friend in a chat room or on a Facebook wall, you can contact them privately and offer emotional support.
- Don't forward hurtful messages, photos or videos. Don't help bullies hurt other kids.

Difference between revisions of "Essay:Boy Scouts Rout ACLU"
(Undo revision 205997 by Special:Contributions/SpiritofAeris (User talk:SpiritofAeris) - okay…)
m (Protected "Essay:Boy Scouts Rout ACLU" [edit=sysop:move=sysop])
(No difference)
Revision as of 23:07, 22 June 2007
The Boy Scouts just won a stunning victory against the ACLU, in defense of the Scouts' honoring of God. A 3-0 ruling of the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit held that the federal government can continue to sponsor the national Jamboree event of the Scouts. Winkler v. Gates, 2007 U.S. App. LEXIS 7677 (7th Cir. Apr. 4, 2007).
Every four years for 70 years, the United States government has sponsored on military property a Jamboree for tens of thousands of Boy Scouts. The Boy Scouts are perhaps the largest voluntary youth group in America, and many future Scouts serve our nation in the military and in public office.
Seven Presidents have attended the Jamboree since 1937, beginning with President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This event lasts ten days and attracts over 40,000 Boy Scouts and about 300,000 visitors. The 2010 Jamboree will commemorate the Boy Scouts' 100th anniversary in America.
But the ACLU demanded that a court prohibit this. An ACLU group in Chicago argued that the Boy Scouts is a religious organization, and that the federal government violates the Establishment Clause by sponsoring an event for a religious organization. A few months before the scheduled 2005 Jamboree, the ACLU persuaded a federal judge to prohibit the government sponsorship, though the judge did make an exception to allow the Jamboree to go forward in Virginia that year.
The government appealed this decision to the Seventh Circuit, where there have been numerous other Establishment Clause cases. This time the Seventh Circuit ruled in favor of government and the Boy Scouts, and ordered that the ACLU's lawsuit be dismissed.
The Seventh Circuit panel consisted of Clinton-appointed Judge Diane Wood, the conservative Judge Diane Sykes, and Nixon-appointed Judge William Bauer. Judge Sykes did not give an inch to the ACLU in this case, and her strongly conservative concurrence may have helped pull the entire panel to the right.
Judge Wood, writing for herself and the third Judge, ruled in favor of the government and the Boy Scouts without ever reaching the issue of religion. She found that the ACLU plaintiffs lacked legal standing to challenge the government-supported Jamboree. The Jamboree does not hurt the ACLU plaintiffs in any meaningful way, so there was no legitimate injury for the court to address.
"Today's decision allows everyone to get back to planning the centennial Jamboree celebrating Boy Scouts' 100th birthday," declared the Scouts' attorney, George A. Davidson.
This victory makes one wonder if other ACLU lawsuits can be defeated using similar arguments. This Court relied on how the Jamboree can be defended using the Military and Property Clauses of the Constitution, rather than the Taxing and Spending Clause. This Court concluded that when government action is based on the Military or Property Clauses, ordinary taxpayers have no legal standing to challenge an endorsement of religion.
There were virtually no reported federal lawsuits by the ACLU against the Boy Scouts before 1999. But after the Boy Scouts began asserting their right to exclude openly homosexual Scout leaders, there have been numerous efforts by the ACLU to deny access by the Boy Scouts to government property and benefits.
In San Diego, the ACLU persuaded a federal trial judge to invalidate a 25-year lease guaranteeing the Boy Scouts affordable access to local parks. Barnes-Wallace v. BSA, 275 F.Supp.2d 1259 (S.D. Cal. 2003). The ACLU plaintiffs in that case may not have any greater claim to legal standing than the plaintiffs in the Jamboree case. This decision remains on appeal, and perhaps the Scouts can turn their Jamboree victory into a victory here also.

CDC Interoperability with Mirroring and Recovery
The following email came in to a discussion group last week asking several questions about CDC including the interoperability of CDC and database mirroring.
The email:
Dear experts
Here are some questions regarding CDC in SQL Server 2008:
- What will happen to CDC if we truncate or backup database log files? Will the operation wait for CDC log parser to complete all of the transactions?
- If disaster occurs, what will happen to CDC and what we should do to ensure the transactional consistency?
- Is it possible to combine database mirroring technology with CDC? Are there any possible risks?
Any information would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

The evidence Information Service is group of academics from the Cardiff University, University of Exeter, University College London, University of Bath and University of Bristol working with the House of Commons Library and the National Assembly for Wales Research Service to develop a UK Evidence Information Service (EIS).
The EIS will act as a rapid matchmaking and advisory service, working with existing UK parliamentary systems to connect politicians with the wider network of academics and professionals in science, technology, engineering, maths, medicine, humanities and the social sciences.
More details about the project can be found in their Guardian article and GW4 webpage.
They are seeking the confidential views of academics on their attitudes to and experiences of evidence-based policymaking, the usefulness of the EIS and their potential contribution.
They therefore invite all UK researchers in academia and industry to complete an 5-10 minute survey.

One of Palm Beach's more riveting romances, a hotsy-totsy fling around town that could turn into something more serious, involves Chan Cox Mashek, the Texas heiress, and James "Jamie" Kabler, the divorced husband of Elizabeth Rosensteil Kabler, Mrs. Walter Annenberg's daughter.
You will recall that Chan recently divorced her husband, John Mashek, amid a flurry of unpleasant publicity regarding failure to gain entrance to some select New York and Southampton private clubs. Now she's taken much more than a passing fancy to Jamie, who with his preppy looks and impeccable grooming, looks like an ad for Polo by Ralph Lauren. When he was married to Elizabeth, they occupied a sweeping Greenwich estate when they were not country-clubbing around that classiest (and cash-iest) of Connecticut towns. Elizabeth's an heiress too, you know.
Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin arrived in Paris last week and are now spread out in luxury at the Plaza-Athenee. Saturday night, the dynamic duo, just like Batman and Robin, turned up at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees, for the Cesars, France's answer to the Academy Awards. Both wore tuxedos; both looked divine to die, or at least to swoon. Meanwhile, Kim is thinking of launching her nudie PETA poster at the Hard Rock Cafe in Paris. Life is a cabaret, old chums.
At the Cesars, Kim and Alec sat next to Gerard Depardieu and Minister Jacques Toubon and his wife Lise, you will be bouleverses to hear. But after presenting Juliette Binoche with the Best Actress award for her starring role in "Blue," Kim and Alec blew out of there. Just disappeared. And didn't attend the supper afterwards, where about 300 people were waiting desperately for them, practically frothing at the mouth. The guests finally gave up hope. And you will be thrilled to learn that despite such acute disappointment, no one suicided himself, as they say en Francais.
Kim and Alec are pretty, but isn't Depardieu bigger than both of them? I mean, he takes up twice the room.
Steven Spielberg arrived in Paris yesterday to attend the "Schindler's List" celebration. He spent the night at the Ritz and flew right back home again today, a perfect way to get gray (grayer?) hair. He's been working nonstop for what seems like forever, so now he's taking a year off with Kate Capshaw. Right after he picks up those Academy Awards.
It all started with Demi Moore. Now, in "The Paper," the new flick about 24-hours in the life of a New York tabloid, Marisa Tomei takes a leaf from Demi's infamous Vanity Fair cover. Eight months pregnant in the movie, la Tomei parades in front of her husband, Michael Keaton, with her bare tummy hanging out. One man's turn-on is another man's yecchhh.
Cliff Klenk of the international set is about to put his fertile life between covers. He started out to do a cookbook — Cliff has been an accomplished cook and a master souffle chef for about 40 years — but when a publisher heard some of his escapades, he said, hey man, write your life. Compiling recipes was one thing, but Cliff can't connect the dots when he's writing about himself, so there's a search on for a ghost. Who will turn whiter than any ghost if Cliff tells all, because if anyone knows where the bodies are buried…
Teresa Heinz, the stunning widow of Senator John Heinz and one of the richest women in the country, will be at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on March 8 to receive the Spirit of the City Award. Teresa just doesn't sit around looking personable and pretty. She is the chairman of the Heinz Family Philanthropies and the vice chairman of the Environmental Defense Fund. Also being honored that night are Gwendolyn Calvert Baker, the president and ceo of the U.S. Committee for UNICEF; Dr. Prema Mathai-Davis, the national executive director of the Y.W.C.A., and Julian H. Robertson Jr., the chairman of Tiger Management Corp. There's a black-tie dinner after the ceremony, and nobody, but nobody, is allowed to pull a Kim and Alec.
Art, health and beauty will unite for the common good on March 10 at the Robin Rice Gallery to benefit the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center at Memorial Sloan-Kettering. Donna Karan and Lauren Hutton are the chairmen of the gala reception, featuring an exhibition of photographs by well-known artists called "The Nurturing Spirit." Naturally, Evelyn Lauder will be there, along with her husband, Leonard, the cosmetics tycoon, their son, Gary, soon to be married, and Leonard's brother, Ronald. It was Ronald and his wife, Jo Carole, who were among the co-chairmen of the recent Art Show at the Seventh Regiment Armory. Not brother Leonard and his wife Evelyn, as you read here. I try to keep all the fast-moving Lauders straight but every now and then…
Speaking of fast-moving, Marylou Whitney is a little hard to keep straight too, but we do know — huzzah, huzzah — that she is giving a dinner dance Saturday night at the Everglades Club in Palm Beach honor- ing His Highness The Maharajah of Jaipur, may his tribe increase. The Maharajah is the honorary international chairman of the American Red Cross benefit luncheon Sunday at the Palm Beach Polo and Country Club. Gale Sorenson Brophy, a top horse breeder and racer, is the chairman of the luncheon and she's expecting 600, give or take a few. As for the national honorary chairmen — they include Joan Bove, Eles Gillet, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Straub, the new owners of the Palm Beach Polo and Country Club, and, of course, la Marylou.
As for Gale Brophy, she and her husband, Giles Brophy, are the proud owners of "Thirty Six Red," the third best three-year-old in 1990, and their "Strike The Gold" won the Blue Grass Stakes and then went on to win the 1991 Kentucky Derby, place second in the Belmont and achieve a place in racing history. So when Palm Beachers refer to Gale as a top breeder and racer they would like you to know they are not just talking crepes Suzette.
Attention! Nancy Zeckendorf has announced plans for the 1994 gala opening weekend of the Sante Fe Opera. She wants you to know particularly that it's a gala, it has always been a gala, and, if she has anything to do with it, it always will. The weekend begins on June 30th at the El Dorado Hotel in downtown Santa Fe with the Opera Ball and ends on July 3 with a barbecue to bring everybody down to earth. In between, there are productions of "Tosca" and "The Barber of Seville," and lunches and dinners to burn. Dress: Black tie and big jewels or bolo and boots. Well, yipeee.

Canadiens fan who found Carey Price's dogs gets free trip to Game 7
Superstition runs deep among players and fans in the sports world. For one lucky Montreal Canadiens fan, it has resulted in a ticket to Game 7 against the Boston Bruins.
John Mastromonaco, the man who found Habs goalie Carey Price's missing Labradors last week, has been considered by some to be a good-luck charm for the club. That luck will be put to the test thanks to a pair of Montreal-area businesses who were able to snag tickets to Wednesday night's game.
Mastromonaco was given a ticket through TSN 960 and will attend the do-or-die contest with host Tony Marinaro.
The sports radio jockey credits Mastromonaco's good deed for the Habs making it this far in the NHL playoffs. Through his various media appearances after recovering Price's dogs, Mastromonaco received tickets to Game 3, a 4-2 win for Montreal.
Prior to Game 6, Marinaro had a priest bless a Canadiens home jersey and say a prayer for Max Pacioretty.
The slumping Habs winger scored in Game 6, a 4-0 victory.
For Game 7, Marinaro again asked for the priest's help, this time getting a road jersey blessed. The sweater will be worn by Mastromonaco during the game.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut's attorney general says he sympathizes with families affected by the deadly Newtown school shooting but the state isn't liable for the harm inflicted.
Attorney General George Jepson responded Monday to a New Haven attorney's request to the state claims commissioner last week to sue the state for $100 million on behalf of a 6-year-old survivor.
Jepson says people affected "deserve a thoughtful and deliberate examination" of the tragedy and appropriate public policy responses. But he says the claims commissioner's office isn't the appropriate venue.
Attorney Irving Pinksy says his request is about school safety. He says his client sustained "emotional and psychological trauma and injury" on Dec. 14 after a gunman forced his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School and killed 20 children and six adults and then killed himself.

Welcome back. Pick up where you left off.
Healthy kids have higher attendance rates, higher test scores and behave better in class. More than 31,000 schools nationwide are using our Healthy Schools Program to make this the norm.
We've taken the latest research on childhood health and combined it with the most effective school policies to maximize impact. We divided our approach into wellness modules to create a workable framework that sets specific actions to help make your unique school healthier.
Choose one of our wellness areas to get started.
Wellness Policies
School policies determine school environments. Effective policies like those making drinking water available free of charge at all times during the school day lay the foundation for healthy school environments.
Nutrition Beyond the Café
The USDA's Smart Snacks in School nutrition standards published last year are science-based standards for all foods and beverages sold to students during the school day. Use our tools to make sure these standards apply to all snacks and beverages around your campus.
Nutrition Services
Find our latest healthy recipes and menus to meet updated federal requirements for school breakfast and lunch. And get the resources and guidance you need to purchase, produce and promote the healthy options at your school.
Health Education
Health education programs use skill-based instruction to teach kids about important health behaviors like good nutrition and physical activity. Health education programs give students the knowledge and skills to become successful learners and healthy adults.
Physical Education
Physical education teaches motor skills, exercise and the benefits of physical activity. Quality physical education programs give students skills to remain active on a lifelong basis.
Physical Activity
Support daily activity for your students by creating a school environment that encourages movement throughout the school day. Create activities that complement your facilities, learn ways to enhance recess, and find the right equipment to make the most of the space you have.
Health Promotion for Staff
Employee wellness turns school staff into role models for our kids. Healthy employees are more productive, have more energy and better manage stress. By providing tools for school staff to be healthy, we are protecting the health of our students.
Family Engagement & Community Involvement
When families, school staff and communities work together, students reap the rewards. Ensure your school is a place to learn, grow and thrive.

In November, the California Chamber of Commerce filed a lawsuit challenging the legality of the revenues generated by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for the state's cap-and-trade greenhouse gas program. Today, we took action to join the suit. The NAM filed papers to intervene in the litigation, focusing not on the legality of the cap-and-trade program itself or the merits of climate change science, but on the extraordinary revenues generated by the auction and reserve sale provisions adopted by CARB.
The effectiveness of the cap-and-trade program comes from the state's ability to ratchet down greenhouse gas emissions from year to year. CARB may not go beyond this authority to generate a huge income stream for the state. The first quarterly auction of greenhouse gas allowances in November raised nearly $289 million for California, substantially more than the $62 million required to implement the law. Moreover, that revenue is projected to increase to as much as $3 billion this year and $70 billion over the life of the program.
That income goes far beyond simply paying for the costs of administering the program, and thus exceeds the legal authority of CARB. Alternatively, even if the fees are authorized, they constitute a massive new tax that must be approved (but were not) by a 2/3 majority of the California legislature under the state constitution.
CARB's income scheme will significantly raise energy costs in the state and further harm its competitiveness, providing limited or no environmental benefit.
A hearing in Superior Court in Sacramento County is scheduled for May 31.

The board is considering freezing the tax rate for the 2014-2015 fiscal year in order to save more money to help either update or build new facilities for Grand County Middle School, board President Jim Webster said.
"Through this, we will be able to put an additional $200,000 into the capital building fund in order to make some sort of move on the middle school," he said. "We're building toward a large annual payment."
Webster said that while work needs to be done at the middle school now, the board doesn't currently have the money available to make the improvements.
Last year, after considering several options for funding the construction needs at GCMS, the school board voted to create the capital development fund with the intention of putting $200,000 into the fund each year.
Grand County School District Business Administrator Robert Farnsworth said that while the overall tax rates levied by the school district will remain the same, the state requires the board to advertise the change as a tax increase.
Farnsworth said that's because the two levies that are affected by the freeze would have seen a decrease in taxes collected this year due to the fact that the certified tax rate would have been lower.
According to Farnsworth, the average residence in Grand County is assessed at approximately $223,000. For a home with that assessed value, the taxes will be $773.06 if the board chooses to adopt the tax freeze. Without freezing the rates, that figure would drop to $759.57, a difference of $13.49.
"If one were to look at their tax bill from last year, you will see no increase as long as the property has not been reassessed," Webster said.
Grand County School Superintendent Scott Crane invited concerned residents to bring their tax notices by the district office.
The tax rate freeze is not official yet. The board will hold the required Truth in Taxation hearing on Aug.5 at 6 p.m. at the Grand County School District Office located at 264 South 400 East. Members of the public are encouraged to attend the meeting.
