Following Dragnet, she starred in two ill-fated productions – Señorita Justice, a poorly received direct-to-video film, and a television film titled The Dead Will Tell.[16]
2003–2006: Breakthrough[edit]
In 2003, Longoria was cast as adulteress Gabrielle Solis in the ABC comedy-drama Desperate Housewives, later commenting on her career success by stating, "I think it's funny when people say I'm an overnight sensation, because I've been working at it for 10 years."[17] Shortly after her debut on Desperate Housewives, Longoria starred in a poorly received direct-to-video film titled Carlita's Secret, for which she was also co-producer.[18] In 2006, she was rewarded for her performance as Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives when she was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy along with her co-stars.[19] She was awarded the ALMA Award and named entertainer of the year that year. She also starred opposite Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland in the 2006 thriller The Sentinel, which was her first major role in a theatrical movie.

In January 2007, Longoria was chosen to be the first face of Bebe Sport.[26] She appeared in the Spring/Summer 2007 campaign, photographed by Greg Kadel.[27] The actress also holds contracts with L'Oréal and Hanes, New York & Co.[28] Longoria also has a contract with Magnum Ice-Cream,[29] and Heineken.[30][31] She is a part of Microsoft's "I'm A PC" ad campaign,[32] and she and Tony Parker have appeared together in campaigns for London Fog.[33] Eva Longoria became a spokesperson for L'Oréal Paris in 2005 and has continued to feature in L'Oréal TV commercials and print ads until the year 2010.[34] In the summer of 2010 Longoria served as a judge on The Next Food Network Star.[35] In October, Longoria hosted the MTV Europe Music Awards 2010 in Madrid, Spain.[36][37] Based on her earnings within June 1, 2009 to June 1, 2010 Longoria was ranked No. 4 on Forbes Prime Time's 10 Top-Earning Women with an estimated $12 million.[38] More recently, she was ranked No. 14 of People's Most Beautiful 2011.[39]People named her one of 2012 Most Beautiful at Every Age.[40]
After Desperate Housewives Longoria's first project is an independent drama titled Long Time Gone, in which she will play a mistress. Sarah Siegel-Magness, who produced the award-winning 2009 film Precious, will direct the film. Then, In Who Gets the Dog Longoria will play a woman named Olive who is at war with her ex over who keeps their beloved poodle. Besides starring in the film, she has also signed on as a producer for the comedy. Longoria will also star alongside Brendan Fraser as his wife in Four Kings, a historical drama set during the French and Indian War, which took place from 1754–1763. The drama, directed by Damian Lee, is about a wealthy British man who hopes to create a utopian society with his wife by backing the war between Great Britain and France. And then there is an animated series by Hulu, titled Mother Up!, in which Longoria will lend her voice to the lead role. Longoria's character is Rudi Wilson — an irresponsible New York record executive who loses her job because of a scandal and has move to the suburbs and improvise her way through parenting.[41] Eva Longoria topped the Forbes magazine's list of the highest-paid TV actresses for 2011.[42] In 2013 Longoria professed that she is a "cat lady" and appeared as a spokesperson for Sheba cat food.[43]
Other ventures[edit]
Business activities[edit]
Eva Longoria opened the restaurant Beso (in Spanish: "Kiss") in Hollywood, along with partner and celebrity chef Todd English, in March 2008. The restaurant is located on Hollywood Boulevard and is accompanied by Kiss, a Victorian-themed nightclub above the restaurant.[44] The Hollywood Beso was scheduled to be the focus of a pilot episode for a tentative reality series called Beso: Waiting on Fame which would air on VH1 in late 2010.[45] In 2009, Longoria and various investor-partners opened a Beso restaurant, with a nightclub called Eve above it, in the Crystals retail and entertainment district of CityCenter in Las Vegas.[44]
In 2011, the corporation Beso LLC, owner of the Vegas restaurant-and-nightclub venture, with listed assets of about $2.5 million and Eva Longoria as a 32 percent shareholder, filed for Chapter 11 protection, entering bankruptcy proceedings, in order to restructure nearly $5.7 million in debt and other liabilities.[46] Longoria stated, on the occasion, that she's looking "forward to a more pro-active, hands-on approach in the coming years" with her Las Vegas business interests.[47] On July 28, 2011, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for Nevada, following a request filed by Beso investor Mali Nachum and her husband Ronen, who have been litigating against Longoria and other Beso investors in multiple courts, ordered Eva Longoria to appear in Las Vegas on August 20 in order to be examined about the bankrupt restaurant's finances.[48]
Her first book, Eva's Kitchen: Cooking with Love for Family and Friends hit bookstores on April 12, 2011.[35] In 2012, and again in 2013, Longoria was paired with Iron Chef Michael Symon for a promotion for Pepsico's Lay's potato chips called "Do Us A Flavor." The promotion encourages consumers to submit new flavor ideas and fans vote for their favorite on Facebook. The person who creates the winning flavor is awarded $1 million or one percent of chip flavor's net sales.[49]
In 2006, Longoria founded Eva's Heroes, a charity which helps developmentally disabled children.[50] She is the national spokesperson for PADRES Contra El Cancer.[51] She signed shoes for the Spirit of Women Red Shoe Celebrity Auction.[52] Longoria also supports the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation, OmniPeace, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the National Stroke Association, Project HOME and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.[53] Longoria is an executive producer of Shine Global Inc.'s documentary The Harvest (documentary) which is focused on the 500,000 child migrant farm workers in the U.S.[54] and promote awareness and support to enact the Children's Act for Responsible Employment (CARE Act).[55][56]
Longoria was named Philanthropist of the year by The Hollywood Reporter for 'her commitment to Latino causes and giving back to the community.[57] She appeared on Fort Boyard in 2009, making over €20,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.[58] In 2009, Longoria enrolled in a Master's program in Chicano Studies and political science at Cal State University, Northridge. According to Eva, "because of my involvement with the NCLR and my charity work, I really wanted a better, more authentic understanding of what my community has gone through so I can help create change."[59] She graduated with her master's degree in Chicano Studies in May 2013.[60][61]
In September 2009, Longoria was appointed to a bi-partisan commission issued with the task of determining the feasibility of the creation of a National Museum of the American Latino.[62] In October 2012, Longoria spoke at the McAfee Focus 2012 event, where the "theme of safety — beyond computers — emerged. Safety involving financial security, emotional security, and the other results from Longoria's philanthropic efforts."[63]
Personal life[edit]
Longoria was married to General Hospital star Tyler Christopher from 2002 to 2004.[64]
Longoria met Spurs point guard Tony Parker in November 2004, and on November 30, 2006, the couple became engaged.[65] They were married in a civil service on Friday, July 6, 2007, at a Paris city hall. It was followed by a full, Catholic wedding ceremony at the Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois Church in Paris on Saturday, July 7, 2007.[66] On November 17, 2010, Longoria filed for divorce from Parker in Los Angeles, citing "irreconcilable differences".[67] In the divorce petition Longoria, who had taken Parker's last name, requested that her maiden name be restored. She also sought spousal support from Parker.[68] The couple had a prenuptial agreement that was signed in June 2007, the month before their wedding, and amended two years later in June 2009.[69]
The same day as the divorce filing, Longoria confirmed to her friend Mario Lopez that she had discovered hundreds of text messages from another woman on her husband's phone.[70] Extra identified the other woman as Erin Barry, the former wife of Brent Barry, Parker's former teammate, and revealed that the Barrys also were in the process of divorcing.[71] Lopez further stated that Longoria believed Parker had cheated on her earlier in the marriage with another woman with whom he had kept in touch via Facebook.[72] In light of the divorce, Longoria cancelled her scheduled appearance at the 2010 American Music Awards.[70] On November 19, 2010, Parker filed for divorce from Longoria in Bexar County, Texas,[73] on the grounds of "discord or conflict of personalities", thus establishing a legal battle over where the divorce case would be heard. Unlike Longoria's divorce petition, Parker's did not mention a prenuptial agreement and claimed that the parties would "enter into an agreement for the division of their estate".[74] The divorce was finalized in Texas on January 28, 2011, the same day Longoria's lawyer filed papers to dismiss her Los Angeles petition.[75]
According to research done by Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., of Harvard University, in 2010 for the PBS series Faces of America, Longoria's Spanish ancestry can be traced back to her ninth great-grandfather, Lorenzo Suárez de Longoria (b. Oviedo, 1592), who emigrated to the Viceroyalty of New Spain in 1603 (now modern-day Mexico), and whose family originated from a small village called Llongoria, Belmonte de Miranda, Asturias, Spain. Longoria is the Spanish spelling of this Asturian language surname. In 1767, her 7th great-grandfather received almost 4,000 acres (16 km2) of land along the Rio Grande in a land grant from the King of Spain. This land stayed in the family for over a century, and, after the US-Mexican border moved southwards as an aftermath of the Mexican–American War, it was located in American territory, enduring the influx of Anglo settlers during the Mexican–American War and the American Civil War.[76]
Her DNA test results were: 70% European, 27% Asian/Indigenous, and 3% African.[77] After a computer compared the DNA results of Gates's dozen guests, tests showed that she is genetically related to cellist Yo-Yo Ma, who is of Chinese heritage.[77] Since women have two X chromosomes and no Y chromosome, Eva doesn't inherit her father's Y-DNA, but she does inherit her mother's mitochondrial DNA (genetic information passed from mother to child). Eva's mtDNA belongs to the Haplogroup A2 making her a descendant of a Native American female, a Mayan woman from Mexico long before it was Mexico.[78][79]
Eva Longoria identifies herself as a "Texican" or Mexican-American.[78]
She has called Arizona's SB 1070 immigration law unconstitutional.[80] In 2012, she was one of seven Californians named to the post of co-chair of Barack Obama's re-election campaign.[81] On September 6, 2012, Longoria spoke at 2012 Democratic National Convention where she endorsed President Obama's reelection.[82]

Sun loses an open-source evangelist
The VAR Guy caught the departure of Barton George, a top open-source evangelist at Sun. Good news for George, who is heading to Lombardi Software to work on its cloud-based Blueprint product.
Bad news for Sun?
The VAR Guy suggests that George's employment gain is Sun's loss:
He was, after all, a true open source evangelist within Sun. And he was one of the key people who could describe why Ubuntu Linux was such a promising platform for Sun's future success.
To an extent, I agree. But it's important to keep in mind that Sun's … Read more

Stomatitis | |
Classification and external resources | |
Kwashiorkor sufferers show signs of thinning hair, edema, inadequate growth, and weight loss. The stomatitis on the pictured infant indicates an accompanying Vitamin B deficiency
DiseasesDB | 27158 |
Stomatitis is inflammation in the mouth.[1] The term refers to any inflammatory process affecting the mucous membranes of the mouth and lips, with or without oral ulceration.[2] The inflammation can be caused by conditions in the mouth itself, such as poor oral hygiene, dietary protein deficiency, poorly fitted dentures, or from mouth burns and scars from food or drinks, toxic plants, or by conditions that affect the entire body, such as medications, allergic reactions, radiation therapy, or infections.[3] When it also involves an inflammation of the gingiva (gums), it is called gingivostomatitis.
The term mucositis is often used synonymously with stomatitis, however the former refers to mucosal reactions to radiotherapy or chemotherapy, and may occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract and not just in the mouth.[4]
The term gingivostomatitis, refers to inflammation of the gingiva (i.e. gingivitis) and the mouth generally. Examples of medical terminology which utilize this term include:
- Herpetic gingivostomatitis—this is inflammation of the mouth caused by herpes simplex virus. Sometimes the term gingivostomatitis is used as a synonym for gingivostomatitis caused specifically by herpes simplex infection.
- Necrotizing ulcerative gingivostomatitis—this is sometimes used as a synonym of the Necrotizing periodontal disease more commonly termed necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, or a more severe form (also termed necrotizing stomatitis). The term necrotizing gingivostomatitis is also sometimes used.[5]
- Plasma cell gingivostomatitis—a synonym, or a severe form of plasma cell gingivitis.
- Atypical gingivostomatitis—another synonym of plasma cell gingivitis.[6]
- Idiopathic gingivostomatitis—another synonym of plasma cell gingivitis.[7][8]
- Allergic gingivostomatitis, or allergic contact gingivostomatitis.[9]
Severe iron deficiency anemia can lead to stomatitis. Iron is necessary for the upregulation of transcriptional elements for cell replication and repair. Lack of iron can cause the genetic downregulation of these elements, leading to ineffective repair and regeneration of epithelial cells, especially in the mouth and lips. This condition is also prevalent in people who have a deficiency in vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B6 (Pyridoxine), B9 (folic acid) or B12 (cobalamine).
It may also be seen in ariboflavinosis (riboflavin deficiency) or neutropenia.
Aphthous stomatitis[edit]
Aphthous stomatitis (canker sores) is the recurrent appearance of mouth ulcers in otherwise healthy individuals. The cause is not completely understood, but it is thought that the condition represents a T cell mediated immune response which is triggered by a variety of factors. The individual ulcers (aphthae) recur periodically and heal completely, although in the more severe forms new ulcers may appear in other parts of the mouth before the old ones have finished healing. Aphthous stomatitis is one of the most common diseases of the oral mucosa, and is thought to affect about 20% of the general population to some degree.[10] The symptoms range from a minor nuisance to being disabling in their impact on eating, swallowing and talking, and the severe forms can cause people to lose weight. There is no cure for aphthous stomatitis,[11] and therapies are aimed at alleviating the pain, reducing the inflammation and promoting healing of the ulcers, but there is little evidence of efficacy for any treatment that has been used.
Angular stomatitis[edit]
Inflammation of the corners (angles) of the lips is termed angular stomatitis or angular cheilitis. In children a frequent cause is repeated lip-licking and in adults it may be a sign of underlying iron deficiency anemia, or vitamin B deficiencies (e.g. B2-riboflavin, B9-folate or B12-cobalamin, which in turn may be evidence of poor diets or malnutrition such as celiac disease).
Also, angular cheilitis can be caused by a patient's jaws at rest being 'overclosed' due to edentulousness or tooth wear, causing the jaws to come to rest closer together than if the complete/unaffected dentition were present. This causes skin folds around the angle of the mouth which are kept moist by saliva which in turn favours infection; mostly by Candida albicans or similar species. Treatment usually involves the administration of topical nystatin or similar antifungal agents. Another treatment can be to correct the jaw relationship with dental treatment (e.g. dentures or occlusal adjustment).
This is a common condition present in denture wearers. It appears as reddened but painless mucosa beneath the denture. 90% of cases are associated with Candidia species, and it is the most common form of oral candidiasis. Treatment is by antifungal medication and improved dental hygiene, such as not wearing the denture during sleep.
Migratory stomatitis[edit]
Migratory stomatitis (or geographic stomatitis) is an atypical presentation of a condition which normally presents on the tongue, termed geographic tongue. Geographic tongue is so named because there are atrophic, erythematous areas of depapillation that migrate over time, giving a map-like appearance. In migratory stomatitis, other mucosal sites in the mouth, such as the ventral surface (undersurface) of the tongue, buccal mucosa, labial mucosa, soft palate or floor of mouth may be afflicted with identical lesions, usually in addition to the tongue.[12] Apart from not being restricted to the tongue, migratory stomatitis is an identical condition in every regard to geographic tongue. Another synonym for geographic tongue which uses the term stomatitis is "stomatitis areata migrans".
Stomatitis nicotina[edit]
Chronic ulcerative stomatitis[edit]
Chronic ulcerative stomatitis is a recently discovered condition with specific immunopathologic features.[13] It is characterized by erosions and ulcerations which relapse and remit. Lesions are located on the buccal mucosa (inside of the cheeks) or on the gingiva (gums).[14][15] It is characterized by painful erosions and ulcerations which relapse and remit. Th condition resembles Oral lichen planus when biopsied. The diagnosis is made with Immunofluorescence techniques, which shows circulating and tissue-bound autoantibodies (particulate stratified squamous-epithelium-specific antinuclear antibody) to DeltaNp63alpha protein, a normal component of the epithelium. Treatment is with hydroxychloroquine.[13]
Other forms of stomatitis[edit]
- Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome—occurs in children.
- Uremic stomatitis—a rare form of stomatitis that occurs with renal failure.[16]

"revised model w/ very significant flaws"
on by chrisjscottPros Great screen, crazy storage
Cons Frustratingly slow interface
Summary I've got the 80gb version of this and I simply can't recommend it, at this time. The new eye candy introduced (imagery to the right of menus) w/ the iPod classic has made navigating the menus unacceptably slow. There are frequent pauses and delays as images are loaded on the fly.
With no way to de-activate these graphic elements, these navigation delays make the iPod classic very frustrating to use.
And Coverflow, though it looks cool, is too twitchy to be useful.
My advice: wait for either a revised model or, at least, a major firmware update before purchasing. -
"Holds Most Songs, With iPod Classic 160GB and use WinAmp and V-MODA Vibe Earphones!!!"
on by Coto de CazaPros Easist Interface to learn and use. Very thin and great sound. Also Podcasts.
Cons No Radio. Limited types of music files, MP3 and AAC.
Summary I was using an iPod Video 80GB for about a year while waiting for the long-awaited Touch. When it recently was introduced, like many others, I was disappointed. I loved and want all the features of the iPod Touch but since I was not able to fit my music collection on 80GB, going backward to 16GB flash memory was not acceptable. I settled on the new iPod Classic 160GB for the size of the disc. With the recent firmware upgrade, the new interface is very nice so ignore earlier negative comments about it being slow and clunky. I have tried most every player available and while I do like Creative and some of the Sansa's, the 160GB Hard Drive is the closer for me. I do wish the iPod had a radio like many other players, however, the radio I want is not found on any player and that is AM. The biggest problem with an iPod is based upon the ongoing battle between Microsoft and Apple. For that reason, Apple supports only iTunes for managing, downloading and buying music. All other players can work with most any type of file except the Apple AAC format and also support drag and drop. They will also work with all the music subscription services. The iPod works with none of them, if you need that. Apple plays the game by providing their music in AAC format, proprietary to Apple. Fortunately, those are easily converted to Lame MP3 format which is compatible with any MP3 player.
If you are a PC user, you will be frustrated with iTunes becasue Apple purposely has done little to make it completely compatible with Windows. On every brand of PC I have tried and with every release of iTunes, if you are downloading many songs at once, iTunes contastantly freezes up. If you don't believe me, go to the Apple website and read their user comments on the support section. Bottom line. If you want the most storage, ( I have more than 17,000 songs at 192 kBPS and am ony 2/3 full) slickest and easiest interface and overall good experience, dump iTunes and get the latest WinAmp 5.5 Pro. Unlike many programs claiming to be but are not compatible with the iPod, WinAmp 5.5 Pro is compatible and even supports Podcasts. It also finds cover art and does so much more than any software player there is no way to write about all of it here.
Finally, I would say this. Whatever device you use, if you want to increase the sound quality 100 times or more, get rid of the cheap earphones and get the V-MODA Vibe Earphones. They are in-ear type and noise cancelling and come with several sizes rubber ear pieces in clear and black and won't fall out if while running. The sound quality is comparable if not better than the best Shure or Bose. They retail for $99.95 but I have seen them as low as $69.95 at Costco and elsewhere. They are like wearing a high-end sound system from your living room on your head. I have 30 years experience in the sound industry so I know a little about this subject. I take my comments seriously becasue owning an iPod for me is almost Blasphemy. I am not an Apple fan and have tried their products since the apple 2E+ days. (1982) -
"Slow clunky interface kills the deal"
on by LifeStarPros Max out at 160GB ! I can fit almost everything!
Cons GUI, coverflow, less sensitive wheel
Summary I'm curious as to whether CNet actually tested the video out ability on the Classic through the headphone jack? Reports from iLounge and Arstechnica suggest that the video output has been disabled through the headphone jack and now only works through the dock connector, and that is limited to Apple supported products.
The interface is significantly slower and other users on the Apple forums are reporting that audio is even skipping whenever they attempted to browse through their music while a song is playing. This is absolutely unacceptable!
I know Jobs wants more people to buy the iPhone/iPod Touch, but if you're going to appease those of us who want more storage over cool screens, please make sure the product actually functions just as well or better than the last product. -
"Works okay if you only buy content from itunes"
on by erikottowegnerPros The 160GB Capacity
Cons Too Many, Fixed what wasn't broken, don't rely on it playing anything but itunes videos and music.
Summary I feel like I wasted $350 hoping I would get more space from my 5th gen 80GB ipod that was perfect, and realized I just wasted alot of money. They took the 5th gen, made it pretty and deleted all of the features of the older ipod that I loved. Now I don't want to even use the new one, especially since it seems that Apple is ignoring every question I have for them. About playing content not from itunes, there will be problems, I promise, at least one if not more. And on top of that I was the lucky one who didn't get a million problems with actually using it (meaning defective ipods) there are tons out there, so be careful. Think and shop around before you are so quick to buy a new classic, just so that you also don't waste $350 without knowing exactly what you are getting. Be a smart buyer.
"Very Nice mp3 player -- but you have to use itunes"
on by sma_LAPros Huge drive, nice interface, nice weight and size
Cons Currently, you must use Itunes. Nothing else works
Summary I've never been able to find a portable mp3 player that would suffice for my needs. Thus, I've always played out of my laptop into a stereo system... so, this is actually my first (portable) MP3 player. My needs were simple - a huge drive and good battery life. I could care less about video abilities - that's strictly a novelty, in m opinion.
I went with the Ipod Classic 160 GB because dollar for dollar - it can't be beat at this time.
You get all the advantages of Ipod (accessories, ubiquity, etc) without the usual exorbitant fees of an Apple user.
The ipod classic is a fine piece of technology and you won't go wrong buying it. Lag time is really not bad, and with 80 gigs of music on it, I have yet to have any stutters or problems while scanning through cover art, etc.
The big negative for the moment is: Itunes.
For the moment, it is the only software which will work with the Ipod Classic. No Winamp, No Media Monkey, etc. I sure hope (and expect) that will be solved very soon as this is the biggest downside to the ipod classic.
Itunes is junk, if that's a news flash for anyone. Version 7.4.1 is still lacking and a real downgrade from plenty of other software - including Windows Media Player 11.
Sonically, the Ipod classic is fine. It's an mp3 player, you know? If you want flawless sound, don't play mp3's; and don't ever expect lossless files played through DACs that are tiny enough to put in a portable mp3 player to do the job as well as a true hi fi system.
btw - I'm a PC user and not a member of the cult of Mac. However, I know a good product when I see it, and the Ipod Classic is such a product. Once someone figures out how to make it work with WMP11, MM or WINAMP, it will rock.

Dr. Kumar Mahadevan will step down from his position as president and CEO of Mote Marine Laboratory in May.
Mahadevan will serve as president emeritus for at least the next two years, according to a prepared statement from Mote.
Dr. Michael Crosby, the laboratory's senior vice president for research, will become Mote's new president and CEO.
Mahadevan joined Mote in 1978 as a senior scientist and became its CEO in 1986, when Mote had an annual operating budget of approximately $2 million and 52 staff members. Today, the lab's annual operating budget is more than $17 million, and its staff has more than 192 members.
Under Mahadevan's tenure, Mote's aquarium grew into a destination that now attracts more than 350,000 annually and expanded to include a 200-acre Aquaculture Park in eastern Sarasota County, research field stations on Pine Island in Charlotte Harbor and Summerland Key in the Florida Keys, satellite offices in Punta Gorda and Boca Grande and a second public outreach exhibit dedicated to coral reefs in the Eco-Discovery Center in Key West.
"Kumar's tenure at Mote has been transformative," said Bob Carter, chairman of Mote's Board of Trustees in a prepared statement. "Under his leadership, Mote has grown from a small research group to a full-fledged scientific laboratory with a reputation for excellence — not just here locally or in Florida, but nationally and internationally as well. Mote has also gained a public aquarium that today is one of the region's most popular attractions. We are deeply appreciative of his contributions and excited that he will continue to support Mote as the national scientific treasure that it has become."

TEAMS: Texas Rangers, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Angels
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) -- Yu Darvish was scratched from his start because of a mild neck strain and Derek Lowe filled in with three scoreless innings, leading the Texas Rangers to an 8-2 win over the Kansas City Royals on Monday night.
The Rangers scratched Darvish, the Japanese star who won 16 games as a rookie, with what the club termed a "very minor" neck strain. Darvish said if it was a regular-season game he would have made the start.
Ian Kinsler went 3 for 3 with a two-run homer for Texas.
Lowe, who signed a minor league contract March 6 with the Rangers, yielded three singles, walked one and struck out three against a Royals club that entered the game with a spring training-best .335 batting average.
Ervin Santana, acquired in an offseason trade with the Los Angeles Angels, allowed six runs on 10 hits in four innings.

Adjusting Your Kids to Daylight Saving Time
Spring Forward With an Extra Hour of Daylight This Weekend
- Explain What's Happening: The reason daylight saving always falls on a Sunday is to give us a day to adjust to the time change on the weekend, as opposed to during the busy school/work week. Explain to them why they may feel more tired than usual, but be sure to take advantage of the extra hour at the end of the day. Invite them to join you on a tour of your home as you adjust all of your clocks. Be sure to double-check that computers and cell phones have changed automatically.
- Explain Why It's Happening: According to Discovery News, Benjamin Franklin was among the first to suggest the concept of daylight saving back in 1784 (he thought it would be a good way to save on candles). In more recent years, changing the clocks has proven to save on electric usage across the country, and has even led to a decrease in car crashes.
- Enjoy Some Extra Outdoor Play: Depending on where you live, it may or may not feel like Spring. Regardless, take advantage of the sunlight and encourage your kiddos to play outdoors before or after dinner (even if it means having to bundle up!)
- Take a Family Walk: Working parents are often especially appreciative of the extra hour of daylight, as it offers a great opportunity to spend some extra time together as a family. Enjoy a walk around your neighborhood before the sun goes down.
- Hit the Books: If the time change means that your kids aren't tired at their normal bedtime, wind down the day with an extra 15-30 minutes of story time before bed.

this is the gps I have it works great and I haven't had any issue with it
I'm tempted, but going to wait for the 5" version to go on sale. Samsung phones have notoriously bad GPS chips, and mine and my wife's GSIIs are no exceptions. We can't rely on them at all (takes forever to get a signal, then signal will drop RIGHT when you need Nav assistance the most). Stand-alone is the way to go IMO.
TU but gotta pass. Waiting for an LMT with BT & voice..
I got a Garmin about a year ago that came with lifetime map updates (which I do think is an important feature). The device came with maps that covered most of north america, but I discovered that when I go to update the maps, it tells me that the current map update is far too large to fit on my device and I need to select a specific region that I would like to update (for example: east coast, northeast, west coast, southeast, Canada, etc...). Any maps outside the selected region update are unavailable.
Instead of using Garmin Lifetime Map Updater, just go to Garmin web site and use their Dashboard as an alternative way of updating maps. It works much better. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To get rid of ads on this unit, you'd have to purchase Garmin's HD traffic receiver https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=104 This unit is compatible with it. However, it is worth noting that traffic information they supply (HD or not) is pretty useless. Last edited by AndreyT; 02-20-2013 at 11:38 AM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
This is a good deal but one thing to consider on these is the mounts. The only thing keeping me using a standalone GPS is the powered mount I have on the 700 series garmin. You don't realize how much of a difference they make until you have used one. Being able to quickly pop the GPS on and off the mount without any cables with one hand is priceless. This model does not have a powered mount so you have to plug the cord into the back of the unit manually each time you remove and remount it. The older 24xx models had powered mount, the 700 series has a powered mount, the nice high end 3xxx models have one, the older 23xx had one.
I am not knocking this particular deal but if I have to plug in a power cord manually every time I use the thing or leave it in the windshield begging to be stolen I will just use my phone. |

Just got an email about this deal for today only. Many subscriptions for DC comic books are $14.99 which is a huge savings and just over $1 for each comic book. I saw someone post a deal last week for around $20 a subscription so this is a huge savings over that deal. Included are: Batman $14.99 Superman $14.99 Batman the Dark Knight $14.99 Batman and Robin $14.99 Green Lantern $14.99 Aquaman $14.99 Teen Titans $14.99 Wonder Woman $14.99 Catwoman $14.99

Not bad. I'm not a collector by any means but I like my comics to look decent. These apparently get a little beat up in the mail. TU for the deal though.
Edit: For anyone interested all of the comics listed in this sale except catwoman are excellent right now.
Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Batman are easily the best titles out of that bunch. Reply |

Fisher-Price ATV
We know it's only a matter of time before girls turn into teens wanting to go to the mall to scout the prettiest new fashions. Honestly they get to that at about age 6, right? While the Fisher-Price Battery Powered Barbie Ford Mustang can't take your little ones all the way to the mall, it can give them a taste for what the future holds - and really, with a bright pink color scheme, cool graphics, and realistic features, it's better than any outfit.
The pink, two-seat Mustang is crafted from durable plastic and outfitted a classic running horse grille, rear spoiler, sporty chrome wheels, an interior cup holder, and a pretend radio with pre-recorded tunes. The included 12-volt battery and charger power up the Mustang, which drives at two speeds: 2.5 mph and 5 mph forward and 2.5 mph in reverse. The car operates smoothly on both hard and grassy surfaces, and boasts a high-speed lock out for beginners and dependable power lock brakes.
With a weight capacity of 130 lbs., the Mustang is ideal for kids age 3-6 years.
About Fisher-Price

The orthopaedic surgeons who practice at University Hospital provide expert medical care for patients by evaluating and treating degenerative joint disease; arthritis of the hip, knee, shoulder or ankle; or conditions requiring joint replacement.
University's orthopaedic services includes a 36-bed unit with a dedicated nursing staff of nationally certified clinicians. The fellowship-trained physicians who practice at University can work in one of our 19 total joint rooms and patients are supervised at the start of their recovery in the physical therapy gym located on the orthopaedic unit.
After giving their medical history, the patient receives a physical examination that is supplemented with blood tests, radiographs (X-rays), computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MRI) scans or bone scans.
The surgeon talks to the patient about their symptoms and medical history then examines the affected area, as well as related areas. Radiographs are commonly obtained to view the affected area and CTs and MRIs also may be ordered.
Treatment options include:
Board certified physicians who practice at University Hospital provide expert medical care for all traumatic injuries of the bones of the extremities and pelvis. Surgical specialists treat acutely injured patients with broken bones, open wounds of the extremities and multiple injuries. Surgeons also provide care for any subsequent complications of the injury after treatment, such as bone infections, deformities and non-healing bones.
Board certified physician who practice at University Hospital also attend many sporting events at area schools to provide medical care and support for our growing athletes.

Episode 704: Project 704-3
Series 700 is now available on DVD.
On the video I think I heard you state that the tuck was 1/2" deep, is that right? Or is it 1/4" resullting in a 1/2" extra? And another question, why turn the tube inside out? It the seam allowance is on the outside of the tube, when placed against the back of the quilt, it will be hidden between the quilt backing and the sleeve.
Looking forward to getting to know if the tuck should be 1/4 or 1/2 inch deep.

Geekologie Writer Quoted On CakeWrecks
Well, this is the part of the day when I toot my own horn because nobody else will touch it, no matter how much money or free ShamWow I offer. So, the cakewrecks blog (a personal favorite of mine) quoted me in a post about nose cakes yesterday. I'm "that guy from Geekologie". WOOT!

Get rid of Sarah Jessica Parker from our TV's!
Sarah Jessica Parker is an abomination of a woman who regularly graces our TV sets. I believe enough is enough - this boiled horse needs to be expelled from our lives. For those who don't recognise the name, she is the woman who resembles a foot and stars in Sex & The City, The Grand National & the ironically titled "Sarah Jessica Parker - Lovely" perfume adverts. Speaking of which, who would want to buy a perfume endorsed by someone who looks like a police photofit of Rod Hull For the sake of our children...please just help get rid of her!

That COntrast and the Stein continually ignore that some events tend to excite violence and others dont must create a short circuit in their rhetoric. Because as we saw last year at the Fourth of July event where a 7 year old child was shot. I dont care what sociological experiment or Dream you hope for, when kids arent even safe you must start weeding out those those that are a higher risk. No ideal can be worth children being targeted. Such decisions are why some communities function and others keep dreaming of what hasnt come. 2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » interstatecommuter38There are some who don't like cold hard truth. 2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » interstatecommuter38No. The filtered out people would be the ones with names that sound like they are from sandford and son.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- The rest of the basketball world may not know the newcomers to the radically restructured Marshall basketball program, but coach Tom Herrion knows his troops very well.
Herrion, in his fourth season, knows his team well enough to pick up the pace on installing the Thundering Herd's more aggressive systems, defensive and offensive. He is certain that for the first time his team is deep enough to pick up ball handlers past midcourt, to cause more turnovers and bad shots, thus helping a more aggressive offense.
Shoot, he is certain his team will draw more charging fouls than it did a year ago. Then again, those were about as frequent as consecutive made free throws.
"Saturday is our seventh practice," Herrion said last Saturday before that practice. "We've had more guys taking or attempting to take charges in our first six practices since I've been here. That's a point of emphasis and it becomes contagious, and it's a big play in the game."
Herrion is moving from his strict halfcourt defense, which he brought from his assistant coaching stint at Pittsburgh. When executed well, that defense is sticky and painful to try to solve.
When that defense is inconsistent, it is painful to watch. That was the case last season, in which the Herd struggled to a 13-19 record.
Twelve times the Herd allowed foes to shoot 47 percent or better, with Ohio shooting 65.3 percent, Southern Mississippi 63.2 percent and Houston 59.4 percent. Take extra credit if you identify those as MU's top three drubbings, by 37, 56 and 27 points.
At home against East Carolina, MU held the Pirates to 32.8 percent. At Greenville, N.C., the Pirates shot 52.2 percent. You can guess who won which game, and you can consider that a reflection of the season in general.
Herrion hasn't just turned that page, he has ripped it out of the proverbial book. With seven new scholarship players eligible, he has recruited different personnel for a different style.
"Adapting to our personnel now, that we've recruited, I'm positive that's the right style for this group," he said. "We're quicker, we're more athletic, we move our feet better 'one' through 'five' in our positions. Hopefully, it's a situation where our defense will create better tempo, more possesions and hopefully create more offense for us."
Guards such as Kareem Canty and Tamron Manning will be charged with stressing opposing guards moving up the court. DeVince Boykins, even more solidly built than he was last year, was becoming a good on-ball defender last year. Herrion thinks his late recruit, the much-hyped Chris Thomas, will be a big factor on defense as well as on the other end.

More importantly, Hlessons and I have become technically new grandparents, sort of. I say this because my middle son started dating a girl that was four months pregnant, not his of course. Bio dad was not on the scene at all. My son decided he really liked this girl a lot and decided to stick around, surprised all of us. But this girl is a pretty cool kid. So we have been around for most of her pregnancy, seen all of the ultrasounds, went to the baby shower, and I got to hold little girl 30 mins after she was born. My son is hooked, he is pretty into the baby, and mama. And well so are we.
So here they both are.

And Luger seems a bit confused as to what, exactly, you're looking at.
All affairs are variations on a theme. No one has 'Beethoven's 5th' to everyone else's 'Chopsticks'.

What a sweet story about your ds. It will be interesting to see how that shakes out.
But the baby - oh, that baby. She is beautiful. That first picture, in the blanket? I want her!
