Arbutus unedo (strawberry tree) is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the family Ericaceae, native to the Mediterranean region and western Europe north to western France and Ireland. Due to its presence in southwest and northwest Ireland, it is known as either "Irish strawberry tree", or cain or cane apple (from the Gaelic name for the tree, caithne[1]), or sometimes "Killarney strawberry tree".

Arbutus unedo was one of the many species described by Carl Linnaeus in Volume One of his landmark 1753 work Species Plantarum, giving it the name it still bears today.[2]
A study published in 2001 which analyzed ribosomal DNA from Arbutus and related genera found Arbutus to be paraphyletic, and A. unedo to be closely related to the other Mediterranean Basin species such as A. andrachne and A. canariensis and not to the western North American members of the genus.[3]
Arbutus unedo and A. andrachne hybridise naturally where their ranges overlap; the hybrid has been named Arbutus × andrachnoides (syn. A. × hybrida, or A. andrachne × unedo), inheriting traits of both parent species, though fruits are not usually borne freely, and as a hybrid is unlikely to breed true from seed. It is sold in California as Arbutus x Marina named for a district in San Francisco where it was hybridized.
Arbutus unedo grows to 5–10 m tall, rarely up to 15 m, with a trunk diameter of up to 80 cm. Zone: 7–10
The leaves are dark green and glossy, 5–10 cm (2–4 in) long and 2–3 cm (0.8–1.2 in) broad, with a serrated margin.
The hermaphrodite flowers are white (rarely pale pink), bell-shaped, 4–6 mm diameter, produced panicles of 10–30 together in autumn. They are pollinated by bees.
The fruit is a red berry, 1–2 cm diameter, with a rough surface. It matures in about 12 months, in autumn, at the same time as the next flowering. It is edible; the fruit is sweet when reddish, and tastes similar to a fig. However, some people find it bland, meally and tasteless.
The name unedo is attributed to Pliny the Elder, who allegedly claimed that "unum tantum edo", meaning "I eat only one".[4] It is not known whether he meant that the fruit was so good he could eat only one, or whether he meant that the fruit was uninteresting so he ate only one.[5]
Arbutus unedo is widespread in the Mediterranean region: in Portugal, Spain and southeastern France; southward in Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia, and eastward in Italy, Croatia, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon, and Syria. It is also found in western France, Albania, Bulgaria and southwestern Ireland.[6]
Its disjunct distribution, with an isolated relict population in southwestern and northwestern Ireland, notably in Killarney and around Lough Gill in County Sligo, which is its most northerly stand in the world, is a remnant of former broader distribution during the milder climate of the Atlantic period, the warmest and moistest Blytt-Sernander period, when the climate was generally warmer than today. The red-flowered variant, named A. unedo rubra by William Aiton in 1785, was discovered growing wild in Ireland in 1835.
Arbutus unedo serves as a bee plant for honey production, and the fruits are food for birds. The fruits are also used to make jams, beverages, and liqueurs (such as the Portuguese medronho, a type of strong brandy). Many regions of Albania prepare the traditional drink raki from the fruits of the plant (mare or kocimare in Albanian), hence comes the name of the drink "raki kocimareje". In order to reduce the high content of methanol in the drink, the spirit is distilled twice. Honey produced has a characteristic bitter taste.[7]
In folk medicine, the plant has been used for antiseptic, astringent, intoxicant, rheumatism, and tonic purposes.[8]
Arbutus unedo is cultivated as an ornamental plant by plant nurseries. It is used as a single or multi-trunked ornamental tree, and as a specimen or hedge shrub in gardens and public landscapes. When grown as a tree rather than a shrub, basal sprouts are kept pruned off. The plant prefers well-drained soils, and low to moderate soil moisture.
Unlike most of the Ericaceae, A. unedo grows well in basic (limy) pH soils. In cold climates it prefers a sheltered position due to its late flowering habit.
Arbutus unedo is naturally adapted to dry summer climates. It is therefore useful for planting in regions with Mediterranean climates, and has become a very popular ornamental plant in California and the rest of the west coast of North America. It is hardy in USDA Hardiness Zones 8 to 10.
It also grows well in the cool, wet summers of western Pests include scales and thrips, and diseases include anthracnose, Phytophthora, root rot, and rust.
Garden history
Its Mediterranean habitat, elegant details of leaf and habit and dramatic show of fruit with flowers made Arbutus unedo notable in Classical Antiquity, when Pliny thought it should not be planted where bees are kept, for the bitterness it imparts to honey.
The first signs of its importation into northern European gardens was to 16th-century England from Ireland. In 1586 a correspondent in Ireland sent plants to the Elizabethan courtiers Lord Leicester and Sir Francis Walsingham.[9] An earlier description by Rev. William Turner (The Names of Herbes, 1548) was probably based on hearsay. The Irish association of Arbutus in English gardens is reflected in the inventory taken in 1649 of Henrietta Maria's Wimbledon: "one very fayre tree, called the Irish arbutis standing in the midle parte of the sayd kitchin garden, very lovely to look upon"[9] By the 18th century Arbutus unedo was well known enough in English gardens for Batty Langley to make the bold and impractical suggestion that it might be used for hedges, though it "will not admit of being clipped as other evergreens are."[9]
In the United States, Thomas Jefferson lists the plant in his Monticello gardens in 1778.[10]
The form A. unedo f. rubra[11] and the hybrid A. × andrachnoides,[12] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
In the UK the gardens at Dunster Castle include the National Plant Collection of Strawberry Trees—A. unedo. During the early 1980s the steep banks on the south side of the castle were planted with over four hundred specimens. With the nine cultivars that were acquired at a later date, this constitutes the "National Arbutus Collection".[13]
Symbolic uses
The Garden of Earthly Delights, a painting by Hieronymus Bosch, was originally listed by José de Sigüenza, in the inventory of the Spanish Crown as La Pintura del Madroño – "The Painting of the Strawberry Tree".[14]
The tree makes up part of the Coat of arms of Madrid (El oso y el madroño, The Bear and the Strawberry Tree) of the city of Madrid, Spain. In the center of the city (Puerta del Sol) there is a statue of a bear eating the fruit of the Madroño tree. The image appears on city crests, taxi cabs, man-hole covers, and other city infrastructure. The fruit of the Madroño tree ferments on the tree if left to ripen, so some of the bears become drunk from eating the fruits.
The tree is mentioned by Roman poet Ovid, in Book I: 89–112 "The Golden Age" of his Metamorphoses: "Contented with food that grew without cultivation, they collected mountain strawberries and the fruit of the strawberry tree, wild cherries, blackberries clinging to the tough brambles, and acorns fallen from Jupiter's spreading oak-tree."[15]
The poet Giovanni Pascoli dedicated to the strawberry tree a poem. In that he refers to the Aeneid passage which Pallas in, killed by Turnus, was posed on branches of strawberry tree; the poet saw the colours of that plant a prefiguration of the flag of Italy and considered Pallas the first national cause martyr.[16] Pascoli's ode says:
O verde albero italico, il tuo maggio è nella bruma: s'anche tutto muora, tu il giovanile gonfalon selvaggio spieghi alla bora
Oh green Italian tree, your May month is in the mist: if everything die, you, the youthful wild banner unfold to the northern wind

Kipping Pull Up Progression
In this progression Carl breaks down the Kipping Pull Up on the bar by building on the the Bar Kip to assist Pull Ups and to make them quicker. It's important to take the time to practice this skill, especially the transition from the Kip to the Pull Up, and then from the push down back into the Kip. Transitions are where much of the magic happens, and often where most of the faults occur!

In Urbino v. Orkin Servs. of California Inc., a divided Ninth Circuit held that civil penalties recoverable by individual employees under California's Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 ("PAGA") cannot be aggregated to meet the $75,000 amount in controversy requirement for diversity jurisdiction.
A wage-and-hour representative PAGA action brought originally in California state court, Urbino was removed by defendants to federal court on the theory that individual claims, when aggregated, meet the minimum requirements of diversity jurisdiction. After removal, defendants moved to compel arbitration on the basis that Urbino had executed an Arbitration Agreement agreeing to arbitrate all claims against the company, including PAGA and representative action claims.
The District Court maintained its federal jurisdiction, and denied defendants' motion to compel arbitration, distinguishing representative PAGA action waivers from class action waivers enforced by the U.S. Supreme Court in AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion.
Defendants appealed the District Court's denial of their motion to compel arbitration, and Urbino cross-appealed the District Court's refusal to remand the case to state court.
On appeal, the Ninth Circuit determined that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the PAGA dispute, and remanded the action to state court for resolution – leaving undecided the issue of whether an arbitration agreement's waiver of a PAGA representative action claim is enforceable. The latter issue is pending before the California Supreme Court in Iskanian v. CLS Transportation of Los Angeles.
Although it is anticipated that defendants will challenge the Ninth Circuit decision in Urbino, until and unless Urbino is overturned, employers will not be able aggregate claims in the removal of a PAGA action based on diversity. However, the Ninth Circuit did not address whether a PAGA action could be removed under the Federal Class Action Fairness Act ("CAFA"). Recently a California district court held that a defendant could remove a PAGA action under CAFA by aggregating the civil penalties. The Ninth Circuit vacated the submission of that case pending the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Mississippi ex rel. Hood v. AU Optronics Corp.
The Ninth Circuit's interpretation of PAGA could also have effects outside the removal context; e.g., whether PAGA claims can be made on an individual vs. representative basis.
Stay tuned!

Whitney Houston cause of death determined!
Coroner's have apparently come up with a cause of death for singer Whitney Houston, but the results are on lockdown. Officials say they will not release any information on the autopsy they performed on Sunday at the request of police detectives investigating her death.
Whitney was found dead in the bathroom of her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Saturday afternoon. According to the coroner, what he has released is that there were no obvious signs of trauma on Houston's body, but officials weren't ruling out any causes of death until they've seen the results of the toxicology tests.
Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen said more details may be released today, but that will depend on whether or not detectives are comfortable releasing more information.
Here's what we know so far.
Houston had been at rehearsals for the Clive Davis concert on Thursday, coaching singers Brandy and Monica, according to a person who was at the event but was not authorized to speak publicly about it.
The person said Houston looked disheveled, was sweating profusely and liquor and cigarettes could be smelled on her breath. It was the latest of countless stories about the decline of a uniquely gifted and beautiful artist, once the golden girl of the music industry.
The Rev. Al Sharpton remembered Houston while preaching Sunday morning at the Second Baptist Church in Los Angeles.
"Yes, she had an outstanding range," he said. "Yes, she could hit notes no one else could reach. But what made her different was she was born and bred in the bosom of the black church."
The congregation applauded and answered him with shouts of "Amen" and "Tell it!"
"A lot of artists can hit notes but they don't hit us. Say words but they have no meaning. Have gifts and talent but no anointing. Something about Whitney that would reach in you and make you feel," Sharpton said.
She was found unresponsive in her bathtub around 3:00, and was pronounced dead shortly before 4:00PM.
So unbelievably sad. RIP
Here are some of the last photos taken of Whitney. She was spotted leaving her doctor's office on February 2nd.

"What baffles me about Luzzo's Pizza"
211 First Ave.
East Village
212-473-4774 / luzzomania.com/
One of the things that I took away from eating at Luzzo's, besides a headache and a full stomach, is unresolved bafflement at why this place has armies of devotees.
For months, I had been hearing acquaintances rave about this place and observing hordes of people lining up trying to get into this First Avenue joint. Since, I've become adept at filtering out hype and focusing on the substantive characteristics of an eating establishment (those characteristics include good quality, preparation, portioning, price to quality and portioning, ambiance and service), I decided to tune out the multiple word of mouth accolades for this place, along with my skepticism of them, and try the pizza for myself.
A friend and I went on a Thursday night. The line of people waiting for a table extended beyond the threshold of the restaurant. Within two minutes of our arrival, the hostess made eye-contact with us and put our names on the waiting list. She told us that we'd have a table within fifteen minutes. Her estimate proved accurate.
The wait gave me time to take in the décor and observe the guests. Luzzo's draws many young professional Italians and all types of garden-variety hipsters. The first thing to note about Luzzo is the space. In synch with many East Village restaurants, it's a narrow pre-war space that looks like it has not seen an update in at least two decades. Many find the preservation of original furnishings, fixtures and ornamental details is appealing and a point of charm for a restaurant, and I am firmly among them. However, where Luzzo is concerned, it is done in a way that is blatantly contrived and self conscious that it makes the inauthentic, capitalist-conceit dark side of such branding appear all too distastefully obvious.
From the beat-up, dirty, dented kitchen rubble that hangs on its walls to the unfinished framed out windows, this destitute rustic farmhouse look has been done scores of times before and with much more flair and authenticity. Additionally, those places were also liable to offer far more customer comfort and table service. Here, the tables are so cramped together that it's doubtful that a napkin would not get caught if it were to be dropped between them. The chairs look and feel like they are on loan from the local elementary school district. The tables are so small that having a pizza stand on the table, requires balancing dinner plates between the edge of the table and one's torso. So much so, that hazarding a sneeze in this place could result in expensive dry cleaning bills.
As to the service, it's a resolute notch below what's to be expected of tight quarters with unrelenting bustle. Some of the missteps witnessed by us: our pizza was delivered five minutes before our plates and silverware. As it sad there getting cold, we gave up on trying to talk to each other since being heard above the din would have required screaming. Napkins arrived another three minutes later. But, kudos the servers and bussers for managing the minefield of guests piled onto of furniture and braving the thin slices of space that exist between tables and fellow servers.
Not to mention: does a city that attracts world-class pizza chefs and cutting-edge pizzaioli, like New York, warrant subjecting oneself to such demeaning discomfort for an authentic-tasting Neopolitan pizza? My answer is a resounding no. However, if a superior pizza is at stake, I would undoubtedly order it for take out. In case you've been blissfully hiding under a palm tree for this past year and have missed the whole artisinal pizza craze trend, go to Frank Bruni to dispel any lingering doubts you may have about the trend: nytimes.com/2009/07/08/dining/08pizza.html
A part from the rabid mobs of people, the tight space and squalid décor, is the Luzzo's pizza of the caliber that can justify such pains just for the love of pizza?
Decidedly not.
The pizzas come in small and large. We shared a large Ortolana, topped with zucchini, mushrooms, eggplant, basil and mozzarella. The vegetables were fresh and densely scattered onto the crust. The tomato sauce was good and made from fresh San Marzano tomatoes, but the mozzarella was virtually flavorless and the crust soggy from the center all the way down to the raised outer crust. The $23 price tag was fair, but not the kind of value I expected from the hype I heard about this place.
All in all, this Luzzo's is a glorified dive that serves mediocre pies and draws baffling crowds.

Mystery Vehicle is back with another puzzler. Can you guess WOT vehicle is shown here? Tell us what you think it is in the comments below.
Last time, it didn't take long for L-Finesseness to correctly identify our Mystery Vehicle: a Bentley Mulsanne sedan. In our Bentley Mulsanne First Drive, we commented on the car's mix of old and new engineering styles.
"The same mix of heritage and high-tech can be found inside. There's the warm glow of real wood veneers, the rich tang of leather, and the bright splashes of stainless steel you'd expect in a Bentley; it looks every bit an interior that takes more than 170 hours – almost half the Mulsanne's entire build time – to complete."

Cheating Gets High-Tech With the Remote-Controlled Bowling Ball
What do you get the sports fan who wants to bowl 300 without practicing? Try the RC900, a remote-control bowling ball invented by San Antonio, Texas-based 900 Global. The bowler steers the ball by adjusting the position of a weight screwed onto a threaded shaft inside the ball.
The product is being marketed to young children and those unable to bowl because of physical limitations. The ball itself is surprisingly nimble, as evidenced by a user-submitted video (see below) in which one of them slaloms smoothly around four chairs set up along the lane before striking the headpin. Of course, no one ever said a perfect game was cheap; 900 Global's ball retails for $1500.

The World's Least Corrupt Nations, 2010According to the annual survey by the Berlin-based organization Transparency International, Denmark, New Zealand, Singapore, Finland, and Canada are perceived to be the world's least corrupt countries, and Somalia, Myanmar, Afghanistan, and Iraq are perceived to be the most corrupt. For a list of the most corrupt nations, see World's Most Corrupt Countries. The index defines corruption as the abuse of public office for private gain and measures the degree to which corruption is perceived to exist among a country's public officials and politicians. It is a composite index, drawing on 13 different expert and business surveys. Only 178 of the world's 193 countries are included in the survey, due to an absence of reliable data from the remaining countries. The scores range from ten (squeaky clean) to zero (highly corrupt). A score of 5.0 is the number Transparency International considers the borderline figure distinguishing countries that do and do not have a serious corruption problem. In the 2010 survey, 75% scored below five.

What a plan to have this young fuck me thinking I was asleep
I Love This Game
My name is Bill and I am 44 years old and I am quite happy with the way things are in my life and family. I have a good wife and two wonderful kids, ages 11 and 14, both girls. I am very sexual and I love sex and all its' pleasures that comes along. Everything is fine except for the fact that my wife has been a little out of tune when it comes to sex mainly because of illness and so I have not been satisfied for almost 2 years now.
My story begins when I had to take care of my two girls alone while my wife was recovering from illness at her mom's place which is also a nursing home for recovering patients in Az. And so since it was so far away I would normally take the kids so we can spend most weekends visiting Mandy. Being lonely and horny at times I would normally watch porn late at night and then jack off and move on. I have never really considered other women so I was ok with my position. Now my eldest daughter Tina is quite a charm and her best friend is actually our neighbour Jenna who is also 14 years and she normally sleeps over and they are best friends. A few months ago Jenna's parents were going to Europe for a funeral of a close relative so it was not affordable for Jenna to go so they asked if she can stay with us for a week and so I was ok with it. Tina was in heaven knowing that her best friend would be staying over for a week. Now my house is quite big and so Jenna would get the guest room because putting Tina and Jenna in one room would mean no homework or studying etc. Anyway, on the first night as I put Sally, my youngest daughter to sleep Tina was in the shower and Jenna came over to me in a sly way and said "uncle Bill, can I come and sleep with you?" I did not know how to answer but got scared and said "I don't think that would be safe or right" but she seemed determined and replied "well I am ready to sleep with you if you change your mind". I got scared and a little aroused knowing that Jenna wanted some sort of physical contact with me. I thought about it for a while but realised that things can go wrong but that was not the case later on.
Later that night about 11pm I can faintly hear Tina tell Jenna "good night and sleep well". I was lying on my bed having a glass of Whiskey and after about an hour I was starting to fall into my sleep. Suddenly I can hear my bedroom door knob turning and in an instant I saw Jenna looking in and I closed my eye and pretend to be sleeping. I peeped and saw her come in and closed the door quietly and walked slowly over to my bed and slowly removed her t-shirt to reveal her beautiful tits and then her short pants and then her black panties to reveal her cleanly shaven cunt. I froze in fear and excitement as I saw this adorable girl naked in front me. I did not open my eyes but my cock started to twitch and so Jenna moved closer until she sat next to me while I was lying on my back. All I had on was my boxers and so Jenna stretched her hand out and started to massage my semi hard cock until it got fully erected. I did not move but pretended to be sleeping and she carried on. As she massaged my 7" inch of meat she pulled down my boxers slowly not to wake me up. Off course I did not resist but played along. I was now naked with my cock sticking straight up and Jenna slowly held my cock and I gave a little groan and she quickly stopped and when she realised that I was still asleep she continued. Her touch was golden, gentle, her hands were warm and soft and I was experiencing electricity all over my body. I just wanted to open my eyes and grab her and give her an old fashioned fucking but I had to play it safe.
I instantly decided that I will play as if I am dreaming and would mention my wife's name (Mandy) forcing Jenna into believing that I was actually have a sexual dream. As she stroked my cock with care I was now making little groans and saying "oh yes Mandy, make daddy happy, yessss, rub it, suck it darling", and with that said, Jenna lowered her head and took about 3" of my cock in her mouth and I let out a soft "awwwwwwwww" and she started to suck on my cock with real desire. Her mouth was warm and so soft. For a 14 year old I found that she sucked my cock like a pro but can get better. After about 5 minutes my cock was oozing pre cum and I said in my so called sleep "I want to suck your pussy now Mandy" and Jenna pulled her head up and I reached down and held her arm to guide her to the 69 position. She was now lying on top me with my cock buried in her mouth while I was now faced with her clean cunt in front me and so I opened my eyes because she was facing the other side and cannot see my face. She had a very beautiful pussy, and I had a good look at it. I did not believe that I was in this situation but I loved every moment of it. Her aroma was so inviting and as I looked carefully I realised that she is a virgin and so right away I sent my tongue on a wild sucking and licking spree. She tasted so pure and delicious; I did not let a drop of her juices get away. Jenna was moaning and groaning with pleasure but was also busy sucking on my tool. I felt so relaxed and the pleasure ran up and down my spine sending me deeper and deeper into ecstasy. I have never tried the 69 position but it gave me pleasure beyond my imagination. Just being able to experience a young girl suck my cock, while having my tongue and face buried in her virgin cunt offered so much adrenaline and sexual rush that it is unbearable.
Her cunt was dripping wet and so as I licked she was moving back to greet my tongue and after about 10 minutes I can tell that she was about to cum and so I picked up the speed and sucked her pussy with passion until I could not take it anymore and said "Mandy, I want to fuck you now, put my cock in your pussy now" and in a hurry Jenna stood up and straddle me and held my cock at the entrance of her wet pussy eager for a cock to enter her. When her pussy lips made contact with my cock head I smiled and she lowered herself and my cock entered her and it was mind blowing. Her pussy walls were so tight and hot but since all the foreplay she was well lubricated and as my cock met her hymen she stopped and I saw she closed her eyes in pleasure and let her weight drop on top of me and I broke her hymen and she let out a loud "awwwwwwwww" and with that I held her waist and lift her up and let her drop back down. She was in pain but it soon subsided and the rush of pleasure returned and when she found her rhythm she started to fuck my cock like crazy. She was ready to cum and I was just enjoying her tight pussy.
Every time she moved up I can feel her walls letting my solid 7" cock out and when she came back down I can feel her walls open up to let me in. It was amazing and I did not know that a 14 year old girl can give such a sweet fuck. My entire cock was buried deep up her and she loved it so much. I held her waist and helped her up and down until she grabbed my chest and said "fuck me Bill, make me your bitch, yes, yes, yes, I am cuming, awwwwwwwwwww, yesssssssssssss, ohhhhhhhhh, yessssssssss". She started to grind on my cock and finally she broke and her juices came flowing and she was overtaken by pleasure and just fell forward on my chest when I said "Mandy, it's my turn". I guided her accordingly and layed her on her back and climbed on top her and positioned my cock and in I went again. This time I was in control and as I fucked her she continued moaning and I can feel my cock getting harder and harder, my back was tickling and as I fucked her pussy, in and out, in and out, I reached under her and squeezed her tightly and rammed my cock deep in her a few times and shot my juices deep in her. I rammed and fucked every last drop of cum in her cunt until I was drained and got limp. As I pulled my soft cock out her worked pussy, both of our juices were mixed together and it came oozing out her opening. I then rolled off Jenna and fell on my side and dozed off (yea right). About 5 minutes later Jenna got up and got dressed and quietly opened my room door and closed it quietly and made her way off to her room. As I looked at the time it was 1:15am. I got up and got me a large shot of whiskey and sat on my bed and relayed everything that just happened and I loved it a lot. I loved it so much that I was anxious to see what would be Jenna's reaction the next morning.
Next morning as I prepared breakfast and all the girls came down and Jenna looked very happy and was smiling a lot. She had this glow on her face. I had to pretend that I had no idea what happened last night and so I did. I myself had a glow on my face knowing that I had a virgin last night. After breakfast we were all ready and so I dropped everyone off at their Schools and I went off to having a wonderful day at work. As night two approached I went to my room and guess what, Jenna came back in about 11:30 pm and the game went on. Only this time I wanted to lead her on so I can fuck her in her ass.
And so this game went on for the entire week and Jenna got fucked 6 nights before she moved home, and whenever she sleeps over she would do the same thing and sneak in my room and take her cock and go. I was happy with this game. I loved it so much knowing I get pussy very often with no strings attached.

Memorable Nights For Junior Guards
Posted By Nate Jacobson On Feb 16 2011 @ 3:48 am In Missouri | No Comments
If you like high scoring basketball then Mizzou Arena was the place to be on Tuesday night.
The Missouri Tigers (20-6, 6-5 Big 12) defeated the Texas Tech Red Raiders (11-15, 3-8) 92-84 in a fast paced shootout. Junior guards Marcus Denmon and Kim English planted their names in the Missouri basketball history book as they reached the 1,000 point plateau for their college careers.
The Tigers jumped out to a 30-22 lead 11 minutes into the game and it looked like the Tigers would cruise to a 16-0 home record. But a 16-2 Red Raiders run midway through the first half quieted the home crowd. The Tigers responded to take a 45-44 halftime lead. Denmon scored 18 of his 20 points in the first half and freshman Ricky Kreklow made a major contribution for the second straight game.
The Red Raiders kept pace with the Tigers for most of the second half, but a 12-2 run set the home team free. The Tigers held on for to improve to fourth place in the conference.
The Tigers have a great opportunity to pick up their first conference road victory at Iowa State (14-11, 1-9). The Cyclones will look to avenge an 87-54 rout by the Tigers last month.

My research interests primarily revolve around the use of computational methods to evaluate morphology in extinct vertebrates and how it relates to mechanical and ecological function as well as broad-scale evolutionary trends. All taxonomic groups are potentially of interest to me, though I am particularly drawn to animals with unusual morphologies that were very different from any living taxa. I am also rather interested in morphological changes associated with major evolutionary transitions, such as evolving from an aquatic to terrestrial lifestyle or vice versa.

Anticonvulsants for Chronic PainExamples
How It WorksExperts do not know exactly how anticonvulsants work to reduce chronic pain. They may block the flow of pain signals from the central nervous system. Why It Is UsedAnticonvulsant drugs typically are used to control seizures in people who have epilepsy. These drugs may also be used to treat other painful conditions, such as postherpetic neuralgia and fibromyalgia. How Well It WorksSome anticonvulsant drugs may work better than others for certain conditions. Anticonvulsants seem to work best when they are used for nerve pain. Examples of nerve pain include postherpetic neuralgia and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. About 7 out of 10 people with nerve pain who take carbamazepine have some relief from their pain, at least for a short time.1 Gabapentin helps about 3 to 4 out of 10 people who take it for nerve pain.2 Anticonvulsants can reduce some persistent low back pain.3 Pregabalin helps between 3 and 5 out of 10 people who take it for nerve pain, especially postherpetic neuralgia, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and fibromyalgia.4 Gabapentin is sometimes used to treat chronic pelvic pain.5 Carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine are used to treat chronic pain from trigeminal neuralgia (sudden facial pain). The best evidence is for carbamazepine, but oxcarbazepine probably works well too.6 Side EffectsCommon but temporary side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness, and fatigue. Tell your doctor if you think you are having side effects, which may include:
Do not suddenly stop taking an anticonvulsant. Your doctor will slowly reduce the dose of this medicine so that you won't have withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, nausea, pain, sweating, and insomnia. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning on anticonvulsants and the risk of suicide and suicidal thoughts. The FDA does not recommend that people stop using these medicines. Instead, people who take anticonvulsant medicine should be watched closely for warning signs of suicide. People who take anticonvulsant medicine and who are worried about this side effect should talk with a doctor. See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.) What To Think AboutMedicine will be started in low doses and then slowly increased until it effectively reduces your chronic pain. Anticonvulsants are not safe for everyone. To avoid side effects and complications, be sure to tell your doctor about all medical conditions you have and other medicines you are taking. Anticonvulsants may increase the chance of birth defects. If you are pregnant or thinking of getting pregnant, talk to your doctor before taking medicines. Women who use topiramate during pregnancy have a slightly higher chance of having a baby with birth defects. If you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, you and your doctor must weigh the risks of using this medicine against the risks of not treating your condition.

Legendary guitarist Slash (pictured below) (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES) has released the following statement regarding the passing of former DEEP PURPLE/WHITESNAKE keyboardist Jon Lord:
"[It's a] sad day in rock and roll; Jon Lord has passed on. One of the biggest, baddest, heaviest sounds in heavy metal. One if a kind." Jon Lord died earlier today (Monday, July 16) in a U.K. hospital at the age of 71. He suffered a fatal pulmonary embolism at the London Clinic after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Jon was "surrounded by his loving family," a message on his official web site said. In addition to DEEP PURPLE, Lord played in WHITESNAKE from 1978 to 1984, having appeared on the albums "Trouble", "Lovehunter", "Ready An' Willing", "Come An' Get It", "Saints & Sinners" and "Slide It In". Jon Lord is survived by his wife Vickie and two daughters — Amy and Sara.SLASH: JON LORD Had 'One Of The Biggest, Baddest, Heaviest Sounds In Heavy Metal'

I'm really tore on if I like this or not. Yes, the trim is made of plastic. Very surprising for something so expensive. Once I purchased it though I was certainly glad I did because it contains the base frame which allows you to install it as a built-in. If you just purchase the microwave there is no way to install it, it would just sit there on feet. Even for plastic it looks ok so you really have to purchase it but it's not quality for this price.

Color is slightly different to microwave
By Goldenwolf

This trim kit has a slightly different finish to the Frigidaire FGMO205KF microwave that we have (the difference is more obvious under bright light). I think it is because of the laquered finish on the trim which the microwave doesn't have.

Tribe designates Cunningham to add Lillibridge
By Justin Albers / MLB.com
Lillibridge was traded from the White Sox to the Red Sox on June 25, he was designated for assignment by Boston on July 16, and on Wednesday, he arrived in Cleveland to play for the Indians. The Tribe acquired Lillibridge on Tuesday, and he was in uniform for Wednesday night's game against the Tigers.
"It's been a long month," the 28-year-old Lillibridge said. "A lot of crazy things have happened, a lot of emotions, but I'm ready to go. ... I'm just happy to be somewhere. I'm happy to be back in the [American League] Central, because it feels familiar."
To make room for Lillibridge on the active roster, Cleveland designated outfielder Aaron Cunningham for assignment. The 26-year-old Cunningham hit .175 with a home run and seven RBIs in 72 games for the Indians this season. He was used primarily as a defensive replacement in left field, a role Lillibridge figures to take over. Cunningham executed a suicide squeeze play to help the Indians score the go-ahead run in their 3-2 win over Detroit on Tuesday.
Indians manager Manny Acta said the team will keep Cunningham if he clears waivers after a week.
"We like Aaron," Acta said. "He was a good teammate. He did everything we asked him to do. We just felt that by having a guy like Lillibridge, we could use him on the infield to rest [Asdrubal] Cabrera. It was more convenient for us."
Acta plans to use Lillibridge in a role similar to the one he's had in the past. Lillibridge will serve as a late-inning replacement for Johnny Damon and Shelley Duncan in left field, but he'll also get an occasional start at shortstop or second base. Lillibridge came up as a shortstop, so he's comfortable playing on the middle infield.
"I've had some success in the outfield, which I feel like is a lot easier than the infield," Lillibridge said. "But I love the challenge of being on the infield, especially shortstop. You've got to be in on every single pitch. You're locked in the whole game."
Lillibridge's offensive numbers aren't great, but he's hopeful he can turn it around with more at-bats. He hit .165 with two RBIs in 59 games for the White Sox and Red Sox this season. Lillibridge is a career .212 hitter and hit 13 homers in 97 games for Chicago last year.
No matter what his position -- or how much he plays -- Lillibridge is intent on helping the Indians continue their playoff push. They entered Wednesday's game three games behind Detroit for first place in the AL Central.
"I've been close a lot of times, especially with the White Sox," Lillibridge said. "I'm definitely ready to be in contention with these top three teams in the division. It could go all the way until the end, so I'm excited for it."

At last ATI has the final Radeon HD 2900XT speeds. The card will work at 507 MHz in 2D mode and 757 MHz in 3D mode. ATI wants to save some power if you are not playing games all the time.
In 3D mode the memory works at 1656 MHz, while if you are just doing 2D stuff,f the memory will slow down to 1028 MHz. We are talking about the 512 MB GDDR3 card.
ATI found that these clocks have much better yield than the previous 800 / 1600 MHz combination. The cards with these clocks will hit retail and etail stores on the 14th of May.

Sea Ice Melting to New Lows in Arctic Ocean
Tiffany Kaiser

Sender E-mail
(Source: sciencedaily.com)
Sea ice extent in the Arctic fell to 483,000 square km (186,000 square miles) on August 13, a new record
The Arctic Ocean is feeling
hot, hot, hot
, says new report released by the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center.
According to the report, sea ice extent in the Arctic dropped to a record low on August 13, and will continue dropping to new record lows by the end of the month.
Sea ice extent, which measures the amount of sea ice remaining in the ocean, fell to 483,000 square km (186,000 square miles) on August 13. This was a dip from the previous record low on the same date back in 2007.
But that's not the end of it. The Arctic sea ice is expected to continue melting through mid to late September, but more record lows have been predicted for the end of this month.
"A new daily record would be likely by the end of August," said Ted Scambos, lead scientist at the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center. "Chances are it will cross the previous record while we are still in ice retreat."
The news of a new record hasn't surprised many among the environmental community. This may be because the Arctic neared record lows last year, according to climate physics Professor Seymour Laxon from University College London. It almost seemed inevitable that this would happen at some point. "Rapid" melting occurred in June of this year as well with 100,000 square km melting daily.
However, Laxon worries that this rate of melting will adjust the prediction for an ice-free Arctic in summer. Previous reports estimated that the Arctic will have an
ice-free summer in 2100
based on melting at that time, but when the 2007 low hit, this estimate was brought to the 2030-2040 range. Scientists are now concerned that this year's lows will bring that date even closer, which is problematic because the melting of sea ice means warming of the oceans. Sea ice keeps the Earth's temperature controlled.
Global warming always seems to be a hot topic (pun intended). A recent controversial report released by James Hansen at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies claimed that
global warming has caused hotter summers
since 1980, but many question the merit of his opinions based on his position on climate change.

"If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1,200 bucks for it." -- SCEA President Jack Tretton

Danny Snyder gobbled up three more DC area AM stations yesterday, including the biggest sports talk network in the area, WTEM, better known as Sports Talk 980. This now means that the team can essentially control who is saying what about the organization. Obviously, 980's most well known voices are concerned:
On their afternoon "Sports Reporters" program yesterday, WTEM hosts Steve Czaban and Andy Pollin wondered how much they'd be able to criticize the team — or whether they'd even be employed by the station — once Red Zebra takes over July 1. Czaban, Pollin and other WTEM hosts, including former Redskins players Rick "Doc" Walker and Brian Mitchell, have often lambasted the team and its owner in recent years.
"We're being swallowed up by the big burgundy-and-gold empire," Czaban said on the air.
As you may have heard, the Skins are also in the process of hiring a team blogger, which, like the purchases of these radio stations, could be seen as a way to further control what's said about the organization. As you also may know, I interviewed for, and was offered the job as the Skins official blogger (after it was offered to, and turned down by, Steinz). I turned the position down for a number of reasons, one of which is the same concern that Czaban and Pollin have: At what point does the team attempt to censor the message and control what's being said, or written?
The team seems to be claiming that whoever continues to be on WTEM beyond July 1 will be able to, and encouraged to, be opinionated and critical "within reason." This is more or less what I was told with relation to the blogging thing. I guess the problem is, what exactly does "within reason" mean? At the very least, I'm going to assume that our "Snyder Sucks" t-shirts would stretch well beyond the realm of good reasoning.
(Aside: I still owe the team a list of blogger recommendations. I have several in mind, but if you'd like to be considered, drop me an email.)

Buyer's guide to gates
Choosing the right garden gate can help finish off the look of your fence or wall – as well as granting you access to your home of course.
When considering what type of gate to get, think about its purpose. If it's for the boundary of your property, needing to provide security for your children and pets as well as privacy, you'll probably want a tall, solid wooden gate. On the other hand, a front gate can be smaller and more decorative – after all, you're inviting people into your home. And it's also critical to consider your surroundings – the theme of your garden as well as any current fencing or walling you have. Are you looking for something subtle that blends in, or one that makes more of a statement and acts as a focal point?
Whatever your need or outdoor style, let our guide help you find the right gate for you and your home.
