Partying safely at Houseboats 2011

Last year's Memorial Day weekend, over 5,000 college students gathered on Shasta Lake's houseboats for an event filled with alcohol, crowded boats and high spirits. This weekend will likely be similar in nature, but it will be a little bit safer with Safeboats.

Group of vet med students rescue dog from euthanasia

In the midst of thousands of stray animals abandoned or born without a home, rescuing a pet seems to be the right thing to do. But, is it still worth it if that animal comes with a price tag of nearly $5,000? Some graduates of the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine (UCDSVM) say yes.

Photo of the Week

I was walking out of the Domes' garden when a buzzing sound lured me to a mysterious white box. Black and yellow winged warriors crowded a caved hole at the corner of the box where they landed and took off from their daily flight routines. My curiosity caused me to ask the Domies to help me open the boxed hive. I was so eager to see how the bees worked together to harvest their honey. Several hundred bees were squeezed tightly between waxed slides and each tiny insect worked meticulously on its specific area. As I was photographing this family of bees, I began appreciating the dedication to their hive. When we lifted a waxed slide up, we moved too fast - the bees rose together and began aiming to cover the bodies of the people in their area. One bee managed to get tangled into my coat sleeve and stung my hand while I panicked to let it escape. I felt the pain from that one little bee-sting for two days.
