Pomona and Minerva McGonagall's student time at Hogwarts overlapped by two years. The two students enjoyed an excellent relationship both then and in later years.[2]
Sometime after graduating, Sprout returned to the school to teach, becoming the Herbology professor.[4]
Career at Hogwarts
Earlier years
- "Four to a tray — there is a large supply of pots here — compost in the sacks over there — and be careful of the Venomous Tentacula, it's teething."
- —Professor Sprout teaching a class.[src]
At some point after her graduation in either 1949 or 1959, Sprout returned to Hogwarts as a member of the Herbology department.[4] She taught her classes in the greenhouses at the back of the castle[4] and used one of the greenhouses as office.[7]
At an unknown time, Professor Sprout became Head of Department and Head of Hufflepuff House.
Professor Sprout used to bring the most interesting specimens (some of which dance and talk) from the Herbology greenhouses to decorate Hufflepuff Basement. This was one of the reasons why Hufflepuffs were often very good in her subject.[8]
- Nymphadora Tonks: "I was never a prefect myself. My Head of House said I lacked certain necessary qualities."
- Ginevra Weasley: "Like what?"
- Nymphadora Tonks: "Like the ability to behave myself."
- — Nymphadora Tonks to Ginevra Weasley on what Sprout thought about her.[src]
Professor Sprout was Nymphadora Tonks's Head of House[9] in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Sprout did not make her a prefect in her fifth year due to her inability to behave herself.[10] However, Tonks presumably surprised Sprout after she earnt at least five N.E.W.Ts in her seventh year.
Sometime in between 1987 and 1990, Gabriel Truman, a third year at the time, got into a duel with a Ravenclaw Prefect who argued that the famous Arithmancer Bridget Wenlock must have been in his own house, not Hufflepuff, as she was in fact. Gabriel felt he deserved a week's worth of detentions for his own actions, but Professor Sprout went easy on him, sending him off with a warning and a box of coconut ice.[8]
Protecting the Philosopher's Stone
Professor Sprout was still teaching at Hogwarts by the 1991-1992 school year. Just before the start of the new school year, Albus Dumbledore trusted her to contribute to the defences of the Philosopher's Stone Chambers.[11]
Sprout, being the Herbology Professor, planted a large amount of Devil's Snare in her Chamber, which broke the fall of the one trying to get the Stone but also tried to kill them. The trick was to use fire[12] or sunlight[13] to force the Snare into retreat.
That year, she taught her first years three times a week in Greenhouse One, and taught them how to care for various herbs and fungi.[4] The first lesson focused in recognising plants found in the Hogwarts grounds, using a copy of the Ingredient Encyclopedia as a reference.[7] Other lessons covered the Severing Charm[14] and the Incendio Charm.[15] Sprout also lectured her students about specific plants, such as Devil's Snare.[12]
That year, Sprout met the famous Harry Potter who was among the first-years she taught.[4]
Re-opening of the Chamber of Secrets
- "We will be able to cure her, Argus. Professor Sprout recently managed to procure some Mandrakes. As soon as they have reached their full size, I will have a potion made that will revive Mrs. Norris."
- —Albus Dumbledore consoling Argus Filch after the attack on Mrs. Norris.[src]
The following year, Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley drove a bewitched car into the school's Whomping Willow. As the Herbology teacher, Professor Sprout was in charge of doctoring the damaged tree by wrapping bandages around the broken branches.[16] On the first day of term, Gilderoy Lockhart, the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, gave her useless pointers and made out that he was a better Herbologist than her. Sprout was made unhappy further when Lockhart took Harry out of the lesson to speak to him. That day, she taught her second years how to re-pot a new growth of Mandrake.[16]
After Mrs. Norris, the cat belonging to Argus Filch, was found petrified, Professor Dumbledore decided that they were to use a Mandrake Restorative Draught to cure her.[17] Professor Sprout was put in charge of maturing her Mandrakes until they could be chopped up, stewed and used by Potions Master Severus Snape for the draught.[17]
Sprout attended the Quidditch match between the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams, sat high up in the stands by Potions Master Severus Snape, Charms Master Filius Flitwick, librarian Irma Pince and Governor Lucius Malfoy.[18]
By the end of the year the Mandrakes had reached maturity and the Mandrake Restorative Draught was completed and administered to those who were petrified; Mrs. Norris, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Colin Creevey, Hermione Granger, Penelope Clearwater and the ghost of Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington.[19] At the End-of-Term Feast, Professor Dumbledore and the rest of the school applauded Sprout for her contribution in the brewing of the Mandrake Draught.[20]
Sirius Black's Escape
- "Careful, Weasley, careful!"
- —Sprout, as Ronald Weasley drops his Puffapod.[src]
The next school year, was relatively uneventful at Hogwarts. On 16 October, the Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs had Herbology class together, and Sprout taught them how to harvest Puffapod beans.[21]
During the same year, Sirius Black, a "dangerous mass-murderer", escaped from Azkaban and tried to get into Hogwarts. [22] It is unknown if she learned that Sirius Black was innocent at the time.
On Christmas, Pomona Sprout was one of the thirteen Christmas Feast attendants.[23]
Triwizard Tournament
- Pomona Sprout: "Bubotubers. They need squeezing. You will collect the pus —"
- Seamus Finnigan: "The what?"
- Pomona Sprout: "Pus, Finnigan, pus. And it's extremely valuable, so don't waste it. You will collect the pus, I say, in these bottles."
- — Pomona Sprout and Seamus Finnigan on the first Herbology class of the term.[src]
At the Start-of-Term Feast of the 1994–1995 school year, Professor Sprout sat next to Aurora Sinistra, the professor of Astronomy, and was seen talking to her.
On the first lesson of the school year, Sprout taught her fourth year students how to squeeze pus from Bubotubers. By the end of the lesson, each student had collected several pints, which Sprout gave to Poppy Pomfrey, the school matron, since it could be used to remedy acne.[24]
At some point early on in the school year, Professor Sprout told Bartemius Crouch Jr. (impersonating the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Alastor Moody) how good Neville Longbottom was at Herbology. "Moody" then lent Neville some books on plants and fungi called Magical Water Plants of the Mediterranean[25] and another called Magical Water Plants of the Highland Lochs.[26]
That school year the Triwizard Tournament was held at Hogwarts and one of the Triwizard Champions was sixth year Hufflepuff Cedric Diggory,[27] whom Sprout knew very well.[5] Cedric was not the only Hogwarts Champion; Harry Potter had mysteriously been entered into the Tournament.[27] As such, Professor Sprout seemed to act somewhat distant towards Harry.[28]
On Christmas Day, Professor Sprout attended the Yule Ball where she danced with Headmaster Dumbledore.[29]
At the end of the year Cedric Diggory was murdered on Lord Voldemort's orders.[30] Sprout spoke with Amos Diggory and his wife, since she knew their son best as Head of his House.[5] She attended the Memorial Feast in Cedric's memory[31] and believed Harry and Dumbledore's claims that Lord Voldemort had returned.[32]
Second Wizarding War
High Inquisitor Dolores Umbridge
- "The teachers were of course forbidden from mentioning the interview by Educational Decree Number Twenty-Six, but they found ways to express their feelings about it all the same. [For instance,] Professor Sprout awarded Gryffindor twenty points when Harry passed her a watering can."
- —Professor Sprout after Harry's interview in The Quibbler.[src]
The following school year, Dolores Umbridge was made Professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts by the Ministry of Magic in accordance to the Educational Decree Number Twenty-Two.[33] Umbridge was despised by the majority of the staff, including Sprout.[32]
The Gryffindor O.W.L.-level class was lectured by Professor Sprout on the importance of the examinations during their first Herbology class.[34] Sprout also had the students make a practical exercise which involved using dragon dung fertiliser. She also set them a long essay for the following lesson.[34]
Sometime this year, Sprout held career consultations with her Hufflepuff fifth-years.[35] During this school year, Professor Sprout also held mock O.W.L.s on the Herbology Greenhouses for those wanting to revise for the exams.[36]
After Harry Potter took part in an interview for The Quibbler about the events at Little Hangleton the previous June, he was put in detention by Professor Umbridge.[37] The rest of the teaching staff, however, found the interview an act of bravery on Harry's behalf and, being forbidden of discussing it per the Educational Decree Number Twenty-Six, found other ways to express their feelings; Pomona awarded Harry a large amount of house points for passing her a watering can.[37]
The teachers' capability of teaching was examined by Umbridge, as part of her duties as High Inquisitor. Sybill Trelawney, the Divination Professor, was sacked and almost dragged out of the Castle by Umbridge. Albus Dumbledore, finding a loophole in one of the Educational Decrees, allowed the sacked Trelawney to remain occupying her premises on the North Tower. Trelawney was escorted back to the Castle by Sprout, Minerva McGonagall and Filius Flitwick.[37]
Sprout managed to show Professor Umbridge her teaching capability and avoided being sacked herself.[37] She was later relieved to have Umbridge removed from the school and welcomed Professor Dumbledore back as Headmaster.
1996-1997 and Battle of the Astronomy Tower
- Horace Slughorn: "… I do thank you for taking the time, Pomona. Most authorities agree that they are at their most efficacious if picked at twilight."
- Pomona Sprout: "Oh, I quite agree. That enough for you?"
- — Sprout with Horace Slughorn, the new Potions master at the vegetable patch.[src]
While giving out the student timetables on 2 September, Professor McGonagall remarked that Sprout was going to be delighted to see Neville Longbottom back with an Outstanding O.W.L. in Herbology that school year.[38] To start off the year, she taught her sixth years about various extremely dangerous plants, and permitted them to swear loudly if the Venomous Tentacula bit them from behind.[39]
Not long after, Sprout had her sixth year class harvesting Snargaluff pods. She chided Harry, Ron and Hermione for being slow; as they were still strapping on their protective gear (and talking), while Neville had already harvested his first pod. The trio's first pod bounced free while they were trying to open it, and rebounded off the glass roof of the greenhouse, knocking Professor Sprout's battered hat off.[40]
In late April of that school year, Sprout helped the new Potions master, Horace Slughorn picking some potion herbs. She left towards her Greenhouses after she had collected enough for Slughorn's third year class, with some to spare.[41] Slughorn also proceeded to steal some Venomous Tentacula leaves while Sprout was not around.[42]
At the end of the year, the Battle of the Astronomy Tower took place, with the Death Eaters invading Hogwarts and fighting against the students, teachers, Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix. Professor Sprout likely participated, as did Minerva McGonagall, Filius Flitwick and Rubeus Hagrid.[43]
After Professor Dumbledore's death, Sprout met with fellow staff members Minerva McGonagall, Filius Flitwick, Horace Slughorn and Rubeus Hagrid to discuss the future of Hogwarts. She was a staunch advocate of keeping the school open, stating that Dumbledore would have wanted it so. She also supported the suggestion that Dumbledore should be laid to rest at Hogwarts, though no Headmaster has ever received a burial there before.[44]
Sprout attended Dumbledore's funeral and led the Hufflepuffs down to the grounds where the ceremony was held, looking cleaner than she ever had been before; without a single patch on her usually battered hat.[45]
Voldemort's infiltration of Hogwarts
- "Tentacula. Devil's Snare. And Snargaluff pods… Yes, I'd like to see the Death Eaters fighting those."
- —Professor Sprout prior to the Battle of Hogwarts.[src]
On 1 August, 1997 the Ministry of Magic was taken over by Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters.[46] By the next school year, Severus Snape was made Headmaster of Hogwarts while his fellow Death Eaters, Alecto Carrow and Amycus Carrow became the Muggle Studies and Defence Against the Dark Arts teachers respectively.[47] Despite the school now in the grasp of Lord Voldemort, or perhaps because of it, Professor Sprout returned to the castle to teach and protect the students.[48]
The Carrows were put in charge of all discipline and punishments, though Sprout and the staff never sent students to them if they could avoid it. She also, with the other Heads of House, tried to protect the pupils from Alecto and Amycus.[49]
One night, after being woken up by Minerva McGonagall's cat patronous, Professors Sprout, Flitwick and Slughorn, and, still in their night-clothes, went to find out what she wanted. They found Minerva McGonagall duelling Snape to the death, and, after being defeated, Snape then ran into a classroom, chased by Flitwick, Sprout and McGonagall, and flew out of the window, escaping them.[48]
Aware that Lord Voldemort would soon attack the castle, Sprout and the other professors set to defend the school and the students.[48] Sprout retreated to the greenhouses, collecting various dangerous plants, and, with the help of a dozen of her students (namely Neville Longbottom), lobbed Mandrakes and everything else over the battlements and onto the Death Eaters.[48] She took a troop of of-age students up to the Astronomy Tower, where they could easily work spells and drop plants such as Venomous Tentaculas and Snargaluffs.[48]
During the hour-long break in the Battle, Sprout helped treating wounded fighters in the Great Hall.[50]
Sprout also witnessed the duel between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort in the Great Hall and, after Voldemort's spell rebounded on him, Sprout, Flitwick and McGonagall all reached to hug Harry at the same time, while everyone else joined in.[51]
A celebration feast was later held, but no one sat in their proper house tables; teachers, parents and students were all jumbled up.[51] Sprout sat by Filius Flitwick and Horace Slughorn, chatting and drinking a cup of tea.[50]
Later life
Sprout presumably remained teaching at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as Herbology professor, though by 2017 she had been replaced by Neville Longbottom. [52]
Physical description
- "Professor Sprout was a squat little witch who wore a patched hat over her flyaway hair; there was usually a large amount of earth on her clothes, and her fingernails would have made Aunt Petunia faint."
- —A description of Professor Sprout in 1992.[src]
Professor Sprout was described as being a squat little witch with short, grey, wavy hair.[16] She usually wore a patched and battered hat.[16] Her clothes were noted to almost always be covered in dirt and earth, as were her dirty fingernails.[16] Sprout also almost always had a smile on her face.[16]
Personality and traits
Professor Sprout was noted to be very cheerful, positive and loyal,[16] but was also very professional and just and would chide her students if necessary.[40] Thus, Sprout possessed all of the virtues and aspects belonging to Hufflepuff House. She was kind and nurturing to the students, and surely encouraged Neville Longbottom's penchant for Herbology because he was anxious to show her his Mimbulus Mimbletonia.[53] She also seemed horrified when she learnt that Ginny Weasley had been kidnapped by Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk and taken into the Chamber of Secrets, clasping her shaking hand over her mouth in shock. Professor Sprout was also very brave always ready to fight for her side. During the Battle of Hogwarts, she didn't question McGonagall's decision to defend Hogwarts, but immediately sought to provide whatever assistance she could, collecting various dangerous plants to fight Voldemort and his Death Eaters.[54]
Magical abilities and skills
- "Just been showing Professor Sprout the right way to doctor a Whomping Willow. But I don't want you running away with the idea that I am better at Herbology than she is!"
- —Gilderoy Lockhart underestimates Professor Sprout's abilities in 1992.[src]
- Herbologist: As the professor of Herbology at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Sprout was a skilled Herbologist. Her talents ranged from taking care of harmless plants, such as Umbrella Flowers[16] and Puffapods,[21] to more dangerous ones, such as Whomping Willows,[16] Mandrakes[16] and Snargaluffs.[40]
- Transfiguration: Professor Sprout has shown the ability to conjure flames. This shows that she had knowledge in transfiguration, as Conjuration is a branch of that type of magic.
- Charms: As the Professor of Herbology, Professor Sprout was well versed in Herbology-related Charms. For instance she mastered the Incendio spell,[55] as well as Incendio Duo[56] Lumos Solem[13] and the Severing Charm.[57]
- Potioneer: As the Herbology Professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Sprout had a skill in potion making as she was highly familiar and accustomed to the various ingredients required for potion making.[7] This fact is exemplified when one considers that she allowed the Potions Club to gather in her greenhouses.[58]
- Duelling: Professor Sprout also had at least a fair amount of skill in duelling since she fought in the Battle of Hogwarts and survived. Also during that battle, she took a troop of students up to the Astronomy Tower, which was noted to be a great place to work spells.[51] Alongside co-workers Minerva McGonagall and Filius Flitwick, Pomona was able to chase powerful wizard Severus Snape out of Hogwarts.[48]
Minerva McGonagall
- Filius Flitwick: "I suppose you are aware that nothing we do can indefinitely prevent You-Know-Who to enter the school, right? —"
- Pomona Sprout: "But we can delay it."
- Minerva McGonagall: "Thank you, Pomona."
- — Filius Flitwick, Pomona Sprout and Minerva McGonagall just before the Battle of Hogwarts.[src]
The relationship between Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout dates back to the 1940s, when both attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The two students mantained an excellent relationship, which was kept well into their adulthood.[2]When Dolores Umbridge stood to speak during the 1995 Welcoming Feast after her introduction by Headmaster Dumbledore, the two professors were both taken aback at this, and even exchange glances of disapproval.[59] Furthermore, during the Battle of Hogwarts on 2 May, 1998, Pomona was shown to have similar traits and the same views on protecting the Castle against Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters.[48]
Neville Longbottom
- "Apparently, Professor Sprout told Professor Moody I'm really good at Herbology."
- —Neville Longbottom[src]
Pomona was always friendly with Neville Longbottom; she was quite impressed with his skill in Herbology. According to Alastor Moody (Death Eater Bartemius Crouch Jr. in disguise), Sprout told him that Neville had a natural skill for Herbology.[60]
In return, Neville always respected Sprout as one of his favourite teachers. In 1995, Neville became excited in the prospect of showing her his Mimbulus Mimbletonia.[53] Neville helped Sprout to use Devil's Snare, Mandrakes, Venomous Tentacula, and Snargaluff pods to attack the Death Eaters in the last battle.[48] Neville eventually succeeded Professor Sprout as the Herbology teacher.[52]
Cedric Diggory
- Harry Potter: "Professor, where are Mr. and Mrs. Diggory?"
- Albus Dumbledore: "They are with Professor Sprout. She was Head of Cedric's house, and knew him best."
- — Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore after Cedric's murder.[src]
Because Cedric Diggory was a Hufflepuff student, Professor Sprout knew him well.[5] When Harry Potter became the second Hogwarts champion in 1994, he felt that she had became distant with him as she was supporting Cedric.[28] When Cedric Diggory was killed, she spoke to his parents, as she knew him best.[5]
Harry Potter
Pomona was usually kind to Harry Potter (as well as to his friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley).
During the Triwizard Tournament, however, Sprout became somewhat distant towards Harry Potter as she thought he was stealing Cedric Diggory's protagonism as Hogwarts Champion.[28] After Diggory's death, Sprout became kinder to Harry once again.
Professor Sprout rewarded twenty house points to Harry Potter for his bravery in speaking out shortly after the publication of his interview on The Quibbler about the return of Lord Voldemort, saying that she was giving them to him for passing her a plant pot (defying the position of the Ministry of Magic and Dolores Umbridge, then-High Inquisitor of Hogwarts) [35] In May, 1998, Sprout helped defend Hogwarts to give time for Harry to find Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem.[48]
Hogwarts staff
Professor Sprout possibly had a good relationship with the most of Hogwarts staff. Despite her respective relationship with Minerva McGonagall,[48] Sprout also respected very much Albus Dumbledore.[45] After the Headmaster's death, Sprout was distraught.[45]
She was always friendly with Filius Flitwick, the Head of Ravenclaw house and Charms professor. Both Sprout and Flitwick supported Albus Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix, although they were not official members. After the death of Dumbledore, Flitwick and Sprout (along with others) sat and discussed about it and about Severus Snape's disloyalty.[45] The next year, they both tried to protect the students from Amycus and Alecto Carrow and fought at the Battle of Hogwarts and survived.
Sprout also appeared to be friendly with Horace Slughorn, the Potions Master. In 1997, Sprout helped Slughorn pick some potion herbs. She left towards her Greenhouses after she had collected enough for Slughorn's third year class, with some to spare. Slughorn also proceeded to steal some Venomous Tentacula leaves while Sprout was not around. However, he fought at the Battle of Hogwarts with Sprout.
Other Hogwarts staff that she had a good relationship with were: Poppy Pomfrey, the nurse, Argus Filch, the caretaker, Rubeus Hagrid, the Care of Magical Creatures professor.
In Roman mythology, Pomona was the goddess of fruit trees, gardens and orchards.[61] Sprout is a verb meaning "to begin to grow, shoot forth, as a plant from a seed".[62]
Behind the scenes
- Sprout is portrayed by British actress Miriam Margolyes in the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
- The first physical appearance of Professor Sprout in media was in the PC/PS1 video game of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. This was long before any actress had been cast as Sprout, so her appearance was completely different from the later films and games. On the PC version, Sprout appeared as a short, not-really-overweight witch with straight black hair pulled back in a bun, a cheery face and emerald green robes. On the PS1 version, she was featured as a short witch (just a bit taller then the eleven-year old Harry Potter) wearing her red hair in a long plait down her back.
- During most of the first six books, Sprout was the only Head of House whose name was not an alliteration. This was changed when Horace Slughorn replaced Severus Snape as Head of Slytherin House in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. She is also the only Head of House (with the exception of Slughorn, who was first introduced in the sixth installment) who has not appeared in all the films.
- In the books Professor Sprout is described as having grey, flyaway hair while in the film versions of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 she is depicted as having short, curly hair.
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, during the time between the first part and the second part of the Battle, Pomona was seen helping Madam Pomfrey taking care of some students near the tables.
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, plants are seen attacking giants at the beginning of the battle. This could be a part of Professor Sprout's protection.
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, when Filius Flitwick, Horace Slughorn and Molly Weasley are putting up the shields, a chain of spells can be seen coming from the herbology classroom. This could be Professor Sprout casting the spell to help protect the school quickly as Voldemort and his Death Eaters are coming to the castle.

Merits Case Pages and Archives
This Week at the Court
On Monday we expect the Court to issue orders from its April 29 Conference at 9:30 a.m. and opinions in one or more argued cases at 10 a.m. The Justices will meet next for their May 12 Conference; our list of "petitions to watch" for that Conference will be available soon.
Major Cases
- United States v. Texas
Whether the Obama administration has the authority to issue its new deferred-action policy for undocumented immigrants, whether the states have standing to challenge the policy at all, whether DHS was required to notify the public about the proposed policy and provide opportunity for the public to weigh in on it, and whether the policy violates the Constitution's "Take Care Clause," which requires the president to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed."
- Zubik v. Burwell
Does the availability of a regulatory method for nonprofit religious employers to comply with the HHS contraceptive mandate eliminate the substantial burden on religious exercise in violation of RFRA that the Court recognized in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.?
- Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt
Whether, when applying the "undue burden" standard of Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the Fifth Circuit erred in concluding that this standard permits Texas to enforce, in nearly all circumstances, laws that would cause a significant reduction in the availability of abortion services while failing to advance the State's interest in promoting health - or any other valid interest.
- Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin
Does the use of racial preferences in undergraduate admissions by the University of Texas violate the Equal Protection Clause?
- Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins
Whether Congress may confer Article III standing upon a plaintiff who suffers no concrete harm, and who therefore could not otherwise invoke the jurisdiction of a federal court, by authorizing a private right of action based on a bare violation of a federal statute.
- United States v. Texas
Upcoming Petitions
- Deere & Co. v. New Hampshire Whether the Contract Clause prohibited the New Hampshire legislature from retroactively voiding petitioners' private contracts, in the name of "leveling the playing field" between the parties to those contracts.
- Husqvarna Professional Products, Inc. v. New Hampshire (1) Whether a court deciding a Contract Clause case may use "rational speculation" review to uphold retroactive application of a law substantially impairing private contracts based on legislative findings that are contradicted by undisputed evidence; (2) whether a court deciding an Equal Protection case may rely upon legislative findings to hold that a classification has a rational basis when the findings are contradicted by undisputed evidence, and (3) whether a statute requiring disputes between a manufacturer and its dealers to be submitted to a state administrative agency for adjudication violates the Supremacy Clause as to disputes subject to arbitration under the manufacturer's dealer contracts.
- Wells Fargo & Co. v. City of Miami (1) Whether the term "aggrieved" in the Fair Housing Act imposes a zone-of-interests requirement more stringent than the injury-in-fact requirement of Article III; and (2) whether the City is an "aggrieved person" under the Fair Housing Act.

Episode Plot
Before heading to the Unova League in Vertress City, Iris suggests that they stop off at her hometown, the Village of Dragons. There Iris reunites with her old friend Shanon who's watching over the two Zweilous. Even though her Axew hasn't evolved, the elder can tell it has gotten stronger. Which means Iris had raised Axew very well. During lunch at Shanon's house, one of the two Zweilous evolves into a Hydreigon and goes on a rampage because of evolving in which it gets frightened of. Can the Dragon Master Iris soothe this brutal beast? Yes.
Pokemon Character
- Zweilous
- It is revealed that Iris was lying to Ash the whole time since BW082: Clash of the Connoisseurs!, and BW100: Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige! because she didn't want to tell him that Drayden was the Opelucid City Gym Leader all along and not wanting to see him either when shes a student in Drayden's school.
- The flashback scene when Iris was little still looks the same when she's playing with all the small Pokemons since BW036: Iris and Excadrill Against the Dragon Buster!.
- The "Who's that Pokemon?" is Zweilous (US).

text: The Land of Tea (茶の国, Cha no Kuni) is a small country near the Land of Fire in which Team Kakashi (minus Kakashi Hatake who was on another mission at the time) helped Idate Morino win a race that was intended to settle the rivalry between the Wasabi family and the Wagarashi family. It consists of two separate islands on which the race occurred. It is unknown if it has ninja but this is unlikely due to the hiring of ninja for the race. One reason it is called the Land of Tea could be for its tea-houses like the one Team 7 stopped at when they first met Idate.

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF)
Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a tickborne disease caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii. This organism is a cause of potentially fatal human illness in North and South America, and is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected tick species. In the United States, these include the American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis), Rocky Mountain wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni), and brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus). Typical symptoms include: fever, headache, abdominal pain, vomiting, and muscle pain. A rash may also develop, but is often absent in the first few days, and in some patients, never develops. Rocky Mountain spotted fever can be a severe or even fatal illness if not treated in the first few days of symptoms. Doxycycline is the first line treatment for adults and children of all ages, and is most effective if started before the fifth day of symptoms. The initial diagnosis is made based on clinical signs and symptoms, and medical history, and can later be confirmed by using specialized laboratory tests. RMSF and other tickborne diseases can be prevented.

The Todd Ouida Children's Foundation was founded by Todd's family after he was killed in the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. Its mission is to raise awareness and reduce the stigma of childhood anxiety and depression as well as to fund charities that support children's mental health.
The Tenafly Educational Foundation funds innovative programming, teacher initiated grants, and equipment/technology that the school budget does not cover. They aim to enhance both the academic and social experience of Tenafly's student population.
The event was sponsored by UBS Bank , Honda of Tenafly and 1st 2nd Mortgage Co. of Tenafly.

I hav ordered some Eliminator sneaky petes from theusofa, surely the best woodtowood joint out there (allbeit with a small stainless pin and a small bit of brass) -- so lite, so neat, so economical -- compared to the massive big klunky, World War 1 surplus, over-engineered sad excuses for joints that i see on the web -- yuckkkkky. But its a pity that no-one puts their best maple in sneaky petes. Anyhow i will report back. mac.
Hey Mac, u think that sneaky is better than this McDermott cue for $45? Can also get em with no wrap for $39, and they hit surprisingly well. bambu.
That McDermott iz a nice cue. I like the idea of not having any splicing, and a midjoint (ie a real joint, not a 3/4 poofta snooker joint). However my preference iz a machine splice (ie 4 point clubstyle cue) rather than zero splice.
And i prefer a maplemaple (woodwood) (mid) joints. The $45 McDermott iz plastik to plastik i guess.
I know u kan buy proper wooden joints (expensive), with large threaded wooden pins etc. But i dont mind some (hidden) plastick pins or stainless pins and a small bit of female brass. But most woodtowood features large bits of plastic etc, not even hidden.
If a plastik pin etc haz a SG of 1.7, and the amount of plastik iz 4 times the size of metal bits, then u havnt saved anything kompared to say brass (SG 8). In fakt the plastik bits that i see look to be much more than 4 times.
So, Eliminator style small stainless pins glued in wood one end and skrewing into a small bit of female brass the other end iz pretty much az minimalist az u will ever find. The best joint in the world (praps even better than wooden pins etc).
Any big wt (or change of density etc) at midpoint must (badly) affekt the hit. The Eliminator peeple are not too worryd that the occassional joint might split. Whereaz McDermott & Co are terryfyd even if n when the cue iz only $45.
Catch 22. McDermott sell a say $300 shaft. They dont want it to split. So, they uze a massive big klunky, World War 1 surplus, over-engineered joint -- and now their shaft plays worse than a $30 shaft.
And of course i dont like the look (nor play i reckon) of all thems rings and inlays and wraps and rubber bumpers on butts . Whats wrong with a plain simple 4pt machine splice -- and surely it hits better. I unskrew bumpers first thing.
And i notice that many obvious (non-hidden) fat plastik or giant metal joints are now called sneaky petes -- NNOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! mac.
I own a pechauer pro series sneaky Pete. I paid $270 for it. If I was going to pay that much for quality there was no way I was going to pay for decoration. As it turned out the quality of the wood is so fine that it's a decoration in itself. I love the way it plays also. hizboyelroy.
A genuine quality cue iz worth every penny. But one kan get 12 Eliminators for $270, alltho u probly aint got much choice, all will be 13mm (but u hav choice of 18oz or 19 or 20 or 21).
I will be sanding my Eliminators down to 12mm and 11mm and 10mm and 9mm (for english billiards on 12ft table).
Some of my mates are getting (excellent) chineze and thailand snooker cues for $100 inklooding mini-butt and maxi-extn and cuecase and inklooding postage.
I suppoze that the quality of the wood in the butt aint important. But a strong stiff lite shaft-wood iz paramount. I wonder whether cuesmiths aktually measure shaft-maple and rank it (and uze the worst for sneaky petes).
All else being equal -- i would uze a vibration test to rank shafts. If same size shafts the higher frequency = bestest.
Snooker cues nowadays seem to hav lots of splices and different colors (wood), ie in the butts. I suppoze that the more splices then the less bending (warping) over time. Splices uzually look nice, but must be expensiv.
And, like i sayd, handsplices are overated hitwize, machine splices are probly just az good.
Idea. What if the butt half (of the pool cue) woz pure maple, praps with maple splices (if worryd about warpage). And, the dezired wt woz simply achieved by having a bigger skrew-in (permanent) metal rod (or adjustable if u want). Or, duz heavy buttwood really help the hit, kompared to maple with wt. mac.

Baby rescued outside home had been rehabilitated, released
A wayward baby sea lion was scooped up Tuesday outside a La Jolla home by rescuers from SeaWorld, just weeks after she was released back to sea following earlier rehabilitation at the same facility.
The animal, spotted about 6:25 a.m. on Roseland Drive and Avenida Alamar, was one of about 336 pups that SeaWorld has rescued during an unprecedented wave of sea lion strandings, said SeaWorld spokesman Dave Koontz. And she was one of about 15 that returned to the center, dehydrated and malnourished, after a previous round of treatment.
Between Jan. 1 and April 18, the most recent tally available as of press time, more than 1,300 sea lion pups were rescued by animal care centers in Southern California, the National Marine Mammal Foundation reported. The count for all of last year was 151. In March, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration declared a "marine mammal unusual mortality event" because of the rise in stranded sea lions.
Biologists aren't sure why the animals are distressed, but they suspect that changes in food supply have prompted pups to wean early, and then they struggle to fish on their own. Researchers are also investigating whether disease, pollution or other factors could play a part.
The sea lion found Tuesday had been rescued March 9 in La Jolla, weighing just 26 pounds at the time, Koontz said. She underwent a month of treatment at SeaWorld, where crew members administered fluids and reintroduced live fish until she was restored to a healthy weight of 42 pounds, he said.
On April 10, she was released about 12 miles off San Diego. SeaWorld officials hoped she had recovered enough to survive in the wild.
On Tuesday, resident David Archambault said he heard crows making a racket and went to look. He discovered a sea lion in the middle of the street, about a quarter mile from the beach stairs near The Marine Room restaurant on Spindrift Drive. "(She) crawled a pretty long way to get here," Archambault said.
Neighbors corralled the mammal into the entryway of a home, where she sat for about 90 minutes until the SeaWorld crew arrived. When crew members checked her into the rescue center again, she weighed just 28 pounds.
Stranded sea lions have been showing up in unusual places. Earlier in April, a pup climbed into the driver's seat of a car on Ingraham Street. In March, another pup was found lounging on a chair at the Pantai Inn in La Jolla.
In 2010, a pup made its way to Abbott Street in Ocean Beach, where it scooted under a police car.

Comments On Jun 02, 2010:It holds just as good as some other brands I've used, BUT... The dispenser gives far better control of the amount, and the viscosity is higher than the other brands. This means it stays on the threads nicely while you tighten other bolts instead of running off the threads, creating blotches on the work bench.

A man kicks in a door and then steals from a house. It's all caught on camera thanks to a neighbor's surveillance system.
It is late afternoon on Saturday, October 6th. There is plenty of light but this crook doesn't care. He is casing the neighborhood on Santa Barbara Avenue in Pueblo. He rings the doorbell at one home and peers inside, then he changes his mind. Instead, he walks next door as his accomplice pulls into the driveway in a dark colored Jeep.
The Jeep has no license plate on the back, just a temporary tag.
Then the second burglar joins the man on the porch; they check to see if the coast is clear and then break in the front door.
Seconds later they are back outside with their arms full of electronics, including a flat screen TV.
The suspects load the gear into the car and drive away.
The person who lives at the house told 11 News they hope someone recognizes the two men. If you have information, call Pueblo Crime Stoppers at 542-STOP.

text: A good honing steel is essential for keeping knives sharp and at the ready. While most steels can only hone a knife blade, this tool can also gently sharpen it. The key to its impressive performance is the oval shape of the ceramic rod, which optimizes efficiency by exposing more surface area than typical cylindrical steels.

Officer Carver was scheduled to be a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who was dropped during the development of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Carver is a member of the Los Santos Police Department who begins to close the net around fellow officers Frank Tenpenny, Eddie Pulaski and Jimmy Hernandez. Carver attempts to have Poncho arrested in the hope that he will talk. Tenpenny orders Carl Johnson to kill Poncho during the mission Doberman.
It's possible that Carl kills Carver in the mission Badlands as there is a picture showing Carver standing near a wooden house, what's possibly the house at Mount Chiliad.

A great looking pair of pants. I was surprised to find that the length was true to what they said. I hate getting a pair pants that says it's a 34 length and it fits like a 30. I'm alittle bit of a bigger guy and was pleased with how these fit.James of Germantown, TN - May, 06 2011:
My girlfriend got me these jeans as a birthday present and they have become my favorite going out jeans! They are comfortable and wear well with both t-shirts and polo shirts.John of Woodland, CA - May, 06 2011:

- This article is about the lowrider car featured in GTA: San Andreas. For other articleswith the same name, see Blade.
Blade is a two-door open top lowrider featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Depicted as a two-door open top car from the 1960s, the Blade combines elements of the 1965 and 1968 Chevrolet Impalas. The rear of the car resembles that of the 1963 Impala, with convex areas around the taillights rather than concave. Its headlight design is similar to a 1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass (which may be the origin of the Blade's name along with the Sabre). The Blade has no side rear-view mirrors.
Being a lowrider, its exterior and interior can be modified at Loco Low Co.. If the car is equipped with hydraulics, it can be used in lowrider competitions. While normally appearing with only an open top, the car can be modified at Loco Low Co. to feature a hard top or a convertible top, although the latter is permanently lowered.
The Blade may be found on any Mexican gang's turf, and is driven by said gang members, especially the San Fierro Rifa. It can occasionally be seen driven by non-gang affiliated civilians.
Like most lowriders in the game, the Blade offers a substantial boost to the player's sex appeal.
Acceleration and speed are quite impressive, and the brakes and slick handling serve the vehicle well. Although cornering is also excellent, the one major drawback of the Blade is its major oversteer, which makes e-braking turns absolutely futile, and driving at high speeds a challenge due to the potential loss of control at the slightest disturbance. The Blade is capable of withstanding significant impact damage due to its strong frame and overall construction; it does not fare as well against explosive damage, however.
Like all lowriders, the Blade is not recommended for off road racing, as it is prone to flipping. This is due to its lowered height compared to other vehicles.
- GTA San Andreas
- Parked in front of the garage of a house east of the El Corona Safehouse in El Corona, Los Santos.
- Can be found driven around in San Fierro Rifa gang turfs like Doherty, Garcia and Battery Point, all in San Fierro.
- Commonly found in any Mexican gang territory in GTA San Andreas.
- Quite common in rural areas such as Bone County or Whetstone, along with Remington and Tahoma.
- A flame-proof GTA San Andreas Blade can be found during the mission "High Stakes, Low Rider".
- The default radio station of the Blade in GTA San Andreas is Radio Los Santos.

How the American military-industrial complex has invaded our consciousness to create consent for its programs
Integrating fifteen years of field research at weapons laboratories across the United States with discussion of movies, political speeches, media coverage of war, and the literature of defense intellectuals, Hugh Gusterson shows how the military-industrial complex has built consent for its programs and, in the process, taken the public "nuclear."
Hugh Gusterson makes strange what we have taken for granted about living with bombs. People of the Bomb is a deeply informed consideration of what we desperately need to understand in new ways about ourselves and our political and scientific elites. — Catherine Lutz, author of Homefront: A Military City and the American 20th Century and Reading National Geographic

How Americans Are Seduced by War
2005 - Author: Andrew J. Bacevich
In this provocative book, Andrew Bacevich warns of a dangerous dual obsession that has taken hold of Americans, conservatives and liberals alike. It is a marriage of militarism and utopian ideology--of unprecedented military might wed to a blind faith in the universality of American values.
This perilous union, Bacevich argues, commits Americans to a futile enterprise, turning the US into a crusader state with a self-proclaimed mission of driving history to its final destination: the world-wide embrace of the American way of life. This mindset invites endless war and the ever-deepening militarization of US policy. It promises not to perfect but to pervert American ideals and to accelerate the hollowing out of American democracy. As it alienates others, it will leave the United States increasingly isolated. It will end in bankruptcy, moral as well as economic, and in abject failure.

How our culture wants to make boys like me into fighting machines. Thank you Benny, Brad and Jo. I tried to find a gift for my seven year old grand son. The store had approximately 90% war toys such as weapons, armed vehicles, warriors with weapons, 5% super aggressive fighters without weapons and 5% cars,trucks and farm vehicles and misc. tricks? and toys. Anyone walking through this indoctrination aisle has to be in propaganda induced denial not to see what it means for our children. Unfortunately, that is the situation in our society. Again, thank you.

Not missing the point at all. Its just that the point you're making is completely ridiculous. The man is a professional sportsman who plays whatever and wherever for the most amount of money on offer. That's life.
Now ask yourself this - who is the biggest fool in all this ? The man who will no doubt earn megabucks for playing a sport he seems not to be that bothered about, or the people who are prepared to pay him that money in the full knowledge of his history and attitude ? Its absolutely stupid to criticise Williams for it, he's been upfront about his priorities and if a club is still prepared to invest considerable time and money in him then that's hardly his fault.
Well said.

Police say 20-year-old Emin Faki (AY'-min FAH'-kee) told them the brakes on the car failed and he couldn't stop it. Police had the BMW checked out and filed the criminal charge.
The Oct. 24 stunt was recorded by onlookers who posted videos online.
KYW-TV ( http://cbsloc.al/177wIUK) reports that Faki surrendered Thursday. Online court records show he was arraigned early Friday and applied for a public defender, though one hasn't been assigned.
A judge ordered Faki to appear for a preliminary hearing Dec. 18—and to stay away from the museum in the meantime.

National Alliance on Mental Illness
page printed from http://www2.nami.org/
(800) 950-NAMI; email@example.com
Federal Funding of Mental Illness Research
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
NIMH is the principal federal agency in charge of funding biomedical research into brain disorders. Through its $978.4 million budget, NIMH supports and conducts an integrated program of basic and clinical research and research training in biology, neuroscience, and epidemiology. Research initiatives include programs in major brain disorders such as schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Over the past four years, NIMH has received important increases in funding through the bipartisan leadership of Representatives John Edward Porter (R-IL) and David Obey (D-WI) and Senators Arlen Specter (R-PA) and Tom Harkin (D-IA). The agency's FY 2000 budget was increased by more than 14 percent, up to its current level of $978.4 million. This increase continues the bipartisan goal of doubling the federal biomedical research budget (including that of NIMH) by the year 2005.
The impact of underfunded research
However, research on serious mental illnesses remains markedly underfunded, when
you consider either its cost to society or the disability it causes. The World Bank, the World Health Organization, and the Harvard School of Public Health recently published an extensive study The Global Burden of Disease, which examined the impact of a wide range of disease on the loss of years of healthy life.
Several key findings deserve emphasis:
A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine concludes that, compared with a range of other disorders, mental illnesses are among the conditions that are underfunded by the NIH in relation to their burden on society. NIH funding priorities should, of course, also be influenced by scientific promise. There is little issue about the promise of research on the brain and mental illnesses: Nobel Prize laureates have given telling testimony before Congress ranking research on the brain and brain disorders as top scientific priorities.
Assuring increased funding of research into mental illnesses
NAMI has actively promoted a greater investment in research on serious mental illnesses, ranging from basic neurosciences to services research. NAMI has pressed for a series of National Plans to guide the development of these research programs and has monitored the NIMH grant portfolio over the past decade. Although greater attention has been paid to research on serious mental illnesses, a significant part of the research funded by NIMH has little or no relevance to these illnesses. A recent review of 1997 NIMH grants, conducted by the Stanley Foundation and the NAMI Research Institute, raises significant questions about research priorities within NIMH, about the low level of funding of clinical research on these disorders, and about the large number of studies judged irrelevant to serious mental illnesses.
Former NIMH Director Steve Hyman took major steps to improve the focus of the institute. Since 1997, NIMH has funded large clinical research contracts addressing treatment issues in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and developed a program to translate basic neuroscience findings into ideas about the causes of and treatments for serious mental illnesses. NAMI needs to help assure that this increasing focus on serious mental illnesses will continue. Because of the impact of serious mental illnesses on society, on individuals, and on their families, and because of the long-standing underfunding of research on these illnesses, NAMI advocates that all increases in NIMH funding be directed to research relevant to serious mental illnesses.
Sound science, sound public policy, and sound advocacy
Some groups have claimed that NAMI's focus on serious mental illnesses ignores individuals with depression or eating disorders or PTSD, or ignores the needs of children. This is simply wrong. Serious mental illnesses include all those that have a substantial impact on the individual, the family, the society. Serious mental illnesses include both episodic illnesses, such as depression, and persistent illnesses, such as autism and schizophrenia. We believe this focus on serious mental illnesses brings together sound science, sound public policy, and sound advocacy.

Recent Lake Tahoe South Shore Reviews
Wonderful stay again in Beautiful Tahoe!
If you have never been to Lake Tahoe in the summer, you are missing out. It has to be the most beautiful place in the US. We have left the Florida heat five times now for a summer visit. The weather, the scenery and all the activities in the area have made it my family's favorite destination. This is our second stay at the Grand Residence and there is no better place to stay. It is in the best location right in the heart of the action. Additionally you get the space and convenience of a condo with the wonderful amenities of a fine hotel. If you are smart enough to rent through Jess the owner instead of the Marriott directly, not only will you save money (and get free parking as well) but will feel like you rented from your friend. This is a spacious unit with a full kitchen and everything you will need for a comfortable stay. Don't hesitate to book it. Just leave me a week in August to come back! It's really that good!

Having only won twice entering the new year, an implode of the current roster is yet again the inevitable but whose name(s) will be on the chopping block come trade deadline?
Lets start by pointing out the obvious - Head coach D'Antoni has yet to execute an effective lineup from arguably the best roster in the league. Perhaps it is his fault or maybe the index finger should be pointed at the players, regardless something or someone has to change.
This system, whatever it may be, is clearly not working and clearly the wrong players are running it. The teams nemesis is Kobe offense. I'm still seeing too much of it. Kobe ISO - everyone else watch and hope for a rebound to come their way for scrap points, is getting really old.
Yes Kobe is the only shot creator on the team, but why not set more pick and rolls? The team has plenty of jump shooters, heck even the Lakers big men can stroke it - Gasol and Clark have shown consistency in their mid-range game.
One thing's for certain, Dwight Howard is showing signs of egress. He's playing with little intensity. Defenses have shut him down because of his predictable post game and his frustrations have led to several ejections already. His offense is out of rhythm, so can the Lakers still rely on his defense and rebounding? Well, his health is starting to decline again and the smallest reason to not suit up will certainly delight an already grinning Dwight Howard.
With that being said, is it safe to assume that Dwight wants to be traded from this once promising Lakers roster? I'm sure his dream of getting his first championship ring through such a prestigious organization has unfortunately turned into his own Dwightmare. Oh the irony.
On paper Howard's stat's so far this half season look favoring (17-pts/12-rebs/2-blks), but any Laker fan will tell you that those numbers are very misleading. Again, this might not be entirely his fault. Dwight himself has shared his discontent with the D'Antoni system.
It's painstakingly clear though that the Lakers look miserable out there. They look as distant and out of touch as fanny pack wearers. There's absolutely no leadership present and Kobe really needs to step up in that department. Why not give an occasional chest bump when his teammates play well? Why not root for them like Sacre does? Why not smile and say "good job" more often? All these things will easily raise team morale and build chemistry.
These are the characteristics I wish Kobe had in him. You can see that his teammates are intimidated. They're even afraid to shoot the ball near him. All shots come from the weak side when he's on the floor. The potential is there, Kobe just needs to help expose it.
Magic was the quintessential leader who made his teammates better. Kobe just isn't Magic.
