Athletics Kenya says on Friday it has banned marathon champion Rita Jeptoo two years for doping.
Jeptoo has won the Boston Marathon three times, and her second Chicago Marathon in October.
But traces of the banned blood-booster EPO were found in her out-of-competition test in Kenya on Sept. 25.
Iowa star Aaron White remains questionable for Saturday's game against No. 5 Wisconsin after suffering a stinger in last weekend's loss at Purdue.
White sat out Thursday's practice in an attempt to heal the injury, which is affecting his right shoulder and neck.
Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffery says the coaching staff is unsure of White's status, adding that White will likely try to practice Friday in an effort to see if he can play against the Badgers.
Key substitute Gabe Olaseni rolled his left ankle on Monday. Olaseni says he'll be ready by Saturday, though his effectiveness won't be known until tip-off.
The Big 12 and SEC are moving their non-conference challenge series to late January, right in the middle of league play.
The two conferences announced Thursday that the annual 10-game Big 12/SEC Challenge, played over several days in early December this season, will be held on Jan. 30 next year.
SEC commissioner Mike Slive and Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby both say the date change will raise the profile of the event.
ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU again will combine to televise all 10 games in the challenge, which will be held for the third time next season.
Each league hosts five games, and the matchups for next season will be determined later. The four SEC teams not included in the challenge will be matched in conference games that day.
Chase Elliott will replace Jeff Gordon when the four-time NASCAR champion retires at the end of this season.
Elliott is the reigning Xfinity Series champion, and Hendrick Motorsports had to find a Sprint Cup seat for him or risk losing the 19-year-old to another organization.
Elliott will drive a second season in NASCAR's second-tier series this year with JR Motorsports. He will also make five Sprint Cup starts, debuting in March at Martinsville, in the No. 25 Chevrolet for Hendrick.
He'll be paired with Gordon's current crew chief, Alan Gustafson, next season. No sponsor was announced.
Gordon announced last week that his 23rd season will be his final full-time year as a driver.
Dierks Bentley and Gavin DeGraw will perform during the pregame festivities at University of Phoenix Stadium before the Super Bowl on Sunday.
The two acts will perform at the tailgate party and part of each performance will be televised live as part of NBC's pregame show.
Bentley is a country music star, who is an Arizona native. DeGraw is a multi-platinum Grammy nominated singer-songwriter.
Idina Menzel will perform the national anthem, John Legend will perform "America The Beautiful" and Katy Perry will headline the halftime show.
Tiger Woods never looked more lost on the golf course Friday on his way to an 82, the worst score of his career.
Woods hit wedges fat and thin, but never close. He hit a tee shot in the water and another into a desert bush. And when he missed a 10-foot par putt on his final hole at the TPC Scottsdale, he had an 11-over 82 and was headed home.
This might have been more painful than getting his tooth knocked out last week in Italy.
His previous worst score was an 81 in the third round at Muirfield in the 2002 British Open, in 40 mph wind and rain. There was a light drizzle in the Valley of the Sun, and Woods hit a low point.
The NFL will create the new position of chief medical officer to oversee all the league's health policies.
In his annual Super Bowl news conference Friday, commissioner Roger Goodell announced the plan to hire an executive who will work with the league's medical committees, advisers and the NFL Players Association.
Goodell reiterated a statistic the NFL released a day earlier: That the number of in-game concussions decreased by 25 percent this season and that the number has fallen from 173 to 111 since 2012.
The family of Stan Mikita says the Chicago Blackhawks Hall of Famer has been diagnosed with a suspected brain disorder.
Mikita's family issued a statement Friday saying the 74-year-old is "facing some serious health issues" and has suspected Lewy body dementia. Family members say he is "under the care of compassionate and understanding care givers." They offered no other information on Mikita's condition.
Lewy body dementia is a progressive disease that causes problems with thinking, movement and behavior. There's no known cure, but people can live with the disease for a number of years.
Mikita played his entire 22-year NHL career for the Blackhawks, from 1958 to 1980. He was on the team that won the Stanley Cup in 1961 and amassed 541 goals and 926 assists in 1,394 games.
Americans Elana Meyers Taylor and Cherrelle Garrett won the women's bobsled World Cup on Friday for their fourth win this season.
Their two-run time was 0.24 seconds faster than second-place Jamie Greubel Poser and Lauryn Williams in a 1-2 for the American team in the French Alps.
Olympic champion Kaillie Humphries and Melissa Lotholz of Canada finished third, 0.51 second back.
With the event also counting as the European championship, Anja Schneiderheinze and Franziska Bertels claimed the continental title after finishing fifth. Cathleen Martini and Stephanie Schneider took the silver, and Stefanie Szczurek and Erline Nolte the bronze in a German sweep of the medals.
Meyers Taylor extended her overall World Cup lead over Schneiderheinze to 89 points.
Prosecutors have dropped a marijuana charge against New England Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount that stemmed from an August arrest with former Pittsburgh Steelers teammate Le'Veon Bell.
A district judge near Pittsburgh last month told Blount the charge would go away if the player completed 50 hours of community service by Feb. 4.
Blount's Pittsburgh-based attorney, Casey White, says he notified the court Friday that Blount had satisfied the requirement by working with a group called Urban Achievers in Boston. The group's website says it works to improve "the academic and social outcomes of children living in under-served and under-resourced communities."
Blount won't have to appear in court near Pittsburgh next week and can now concentrate on Sunday's Super Bowl against the Seattle Seahawks.
American Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic won the Australian Open women's doubles title in their first tournament as a combination, beating Chan Yung-jan of Taiwan and China's Zheng Jie 6-4, 7-6 (5) in Friday's final.
It marked the first time a new pairing has won a Grand Slam title since Nathalie Dechy of France and Russia's Dinara Safina took the 2007 U.S. Open title.
Chan and Zheng twice served for the second set. Mattek-Sands clinched the match with a backhand to the open court in the tiebreaker.
Mattek-Sands, who received treatment on her right hamstring several times during the match, won the 2012 Australian Open mixed doubles title with Horia Tecau of Romania.
The Vancouver Canucks have acquired minor league defenseman Adam Clendening in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Clendening, 22, was selected by Chicago in the second round of the 2011 draft and made his NHL debut in November. He had a goal and an assist in four games before he was sent down to Rockford of the American Hockey League.
The Canucks sent 18-year-old defenseman Gustav Forsling to the Blackhawks to complete the deal. Forsling has three goals and two assists in 35 regular-season games with Linkoping of the Swedish Hockey League.
Forsling was a fifth-round pick in last year's draft. Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman says Forsling is "an offensive defenseman that plays very well on the power play and has a big shot."
Missy Elliott is going to "Work It" at the Super Bowl with Katy Perry.
A person familiar with the plans for Sunday's halftime show says that Grammy winner Elliott is slated to make a surprise appearance during Perry's performance.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity on Thursday, because Elliott's participation had not been announced by the NFL.
Elliott was featured on a remix of Perry's song "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" in 2011.
During a news conference Thursday, Perry hinted at Elliott's involvement, saying the halftime show would include an "old school" female singer.
But Perry would not say who that was. Lenny Kravitz is also slated to join Perry.
The IndyCar Series opener scheduled for March in Brazil's capital was canceled on Thursday.
The television network promoting the event released a brief statement saying the decision was made "unilaterally" by the local government in Brasilia.
Band TV did not provide any additional details, calling it a "hasty" decision by the government.
Brasilia officials did not immediately announce their reasons for the cancellation, but local media said the government determined that the event did not make sense financially. Local prosecutors and government watchdog groups had already warned about the financial challenges of the contract that had been signed by the previous administration.
"Band will inform in the next few days how those who have bought tickets will be reimbursed. The network laments this hasty decision," the statement said.
IndyCar said two-thirds of the tickets and all hospitality packages for the March 8 race at the Nelson Piquet Autodromo had already been sold. A deal with a title sponsor had been announced on Wednesday.
After what it called an "unexpected" decision, IndyCar officials said they had "every indication that the race was already a success."
"This comes as a great disappointment," IndyCar said in a statement sent to The Associated Press. "We will have further comment when we have had the opportunity to talk with all of our partners and the authorities in Brazil."
The series said it was waiting for "formal confirmation from our partners in Brazil regarding the cancellation."
"Economically IndyCar is protected and the paddock is protected from such action," IndyCar said.
The government agency organizing the event in Brasilia could not be immediately reached for comment.
Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves said he was "caught by surprise" by the announcement.
"To my knowledge, everything was OK," the Brazilian said in a statement. "It's a shame that the race has been canceled. I hope that a solution to this problem can be found in the future. I'm sorry for the fans, but things like these are beyond the control of teams and drivers."
On Tuesday, fellow driver Tony Kanaan said he had high expectations for his home race.
"To me, it means a lot," the 2013 Indy 500 champion said. "All my friends are there, it's a dream come true again."
Band was the Brazilian organizer and promoter of the race in Sao Paulo from 2010-2013. The network was not able to secure the event in 2014 because of financial problems, but it reached a partnership with the government in Brasilia to secure the series' return this year.
The now-defunct CART series was in Brazil from 1996-2000, with a race on an oval track in Rio de Janeiro. The race in Sao Paulo was held on a street course, and the one in Brasilia was going to take place on a permanent circuit. Work at the track was almost finalized, according to organizers.
The contract for the race in Brasilia was to run until 2019.
Motorsport is popular in Brazil, and IndyCar and Formula One attract good crowds. The F1 race takes place at the Interlagos track in Sao Paulo.
Brasilia also was scheduled to host a MotoGP race in 2015 but the event was canceled.
The two men who savagely beat a San Francisco Giants fan outside Dodger Stadium face up to 10 years in federal prison on firearms convictions.
City News Service said Louie Sanchez pleaded guilty Thursday in Los Angeles federal court to being a felon in possession of firearms.
Sanchez's partner in crime, Marvin Norwood, pleaded guilty to an identical charge a week ago. They face sentencing May 7.
The duo was previously sentenced to state prison for the 2011 opening day attack that left Bryan Stow with permanent brain damage.
Police investigating the beating found semi-automatic rifles, other weapons and ammunition during a search of Norwood's home. Sanchez, 32, and Norwood, 34, had prior felony convictions in San Bernardino County.
Both men are in federal custody.
Ernie Banks will make one final trip to Wrigley Field.
The Chicago Cubs say the procession following Saturday's memorial service will take "Mr. Cub" past his statue at Daley Plaza downtown and the ballpark's famed marquee at the corner of Clark and Addison on the city's North Side.
There will be tributes and readings from a long list of dignitaries during the service, including chairman Tom Ricketts, Gov. Bruce Rauner, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the Rev. Jesse Jackson. Hall of Famers Billy Williams, Fergie Jenkins and Lou Brock are also scheduled to speak along with Major League Baseball executive Joe Torre and Banks' twin sons Jerry and Joey.
A public visitation is scheduled for Friday — a week after Banks died of a heart attack at 83.
NFL officiating chief Dean Blandino says the inspection of the footballs by referee Walt Anderson before the AFC championship game was handled properly.
Blandino also said Thursday the process of inspecting the balls and security surrounding the inspections will be enhanced for Sunday's Super Bowl.
Normally, 12 footballs per team are brought to the officials' locker room before a game, where they are tested and marked by the referee. This week, each team gets 54 footballs — many are given to charity after brief game usage — and all of them will be taken into custody by the NFL on Friday after the Seahawks and Patriots have prepared them.
The footballs will be inspected by referee Bill Vinovich three hours before the game, and Blandino said there will be "added security because of the environment we are in for this game."
Bradley basketball player Warren Jones has been arrested at a strip club on misdemeanor charges of obstruction of identification and criminal trespass.
The 20-year-old Jones was arrested at Big Al's early Thursday and booked into the Peoria County Jail. The jail reports that he was released a few hours later after posting $160. Fellow team member Ka'Darryl Bell was issued a citation.
Coach Geno Ford called the students' actions "unacceptable." He said the school will follow disciplinary procedures but did not elaborate.
Jones is the team's leading scorer, averaging 13.9 points a game. Bradley (7-15, 2-7 Missouri Valley) next plays at Indiana State on Saturday.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll says the referees will use hand signals to indicate clearly when normally eligible receivers check in the Super Bowl as ineligible, a technique the Patriots have used in the postseason.
Carroll spoke Thursday about conversations he had with league officials after Seattle and New England reached the Super Bowl to get an understanding how those players would be identified.
The practice, which is particularly confusing for defenders when an eligible receiver reports as ineligible to catch a pass.
Carroll said the referees in the Super Bowl will have hand signals to clarify players' eligibility. A normally eligible receiver reporting ineligible will be identified by being pointed at and the referee waving his arms like for an incomplete pass.
Although Carroll said the signals were new, league officials said referees have been using the signals, including in the AFC championship game.
The NFL says there were 25 percent fewer concussions during the regular season than a year ago.
Data provided by the league ahead of its annual pre-Super Bowl health and safety news conference Thursday shows there were 111 concussions in games during the 2014 regular season, down from 148 in 2013.
NFL Senior Vice President Jeff Miller says he thinks a major reason is that players are changing the way they're tackling.
A total of 59 concussions were caused by helmet-to-helmet or shoulder-to-helmet hits this season, almost exactly half as many as two years ago.
Police say they are investigating a weekend bar fight in which an Eastern Kentucky student was injured and that possibly involved football players from that school and Kentucky.
Wednesday's statement from Richmond, Kentucky, police does not include the injured student's name or others involved.
It said that around 5 p.m. Sunday, a man complained of being assaulted at 12:30 a.m. by three or four men who grabbed and repeatedly hit him in the head while at Jerzee's, a bar off the Eastern Kentucky University's campus in Richmond.
The man reported losing consciousness but later attempted to walk back to campus with two women who tried to help him. The statement says he was taken to a hospital and treated for a broken nose and facial cuts and fractures.
The head of NCAA enforcement says academic misconduct has been on the rise in college athletics and his department is handling 20 open investigations.
Vice president of enforcement Jon Duncan said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press the cases involve both prospective and incoming athletes trying to become eligible for college competition, and enrolled athletes receiving impermissible assistance from university and athletic department personnel.
Eighteen of the cases involve Division I schools, though NCAA policies preclude Duncan from revealing which programs are under investigation.
North Carolina has been the focus of the NCAA's most high-profile infractions case involving academics. Last year an independent investigator found that hundreds of Tar Heels athletes over nearly two decades were steered toward sham classes that gave out high grades for little work.
NASCAR Hall of Famer and former three-time Cup champion David Pearson is recovering from a mild stroke he suffered on Dec. 9.
Pearson's family released a statement Wednesday that says he is "doing great and well on the road to recovery." The statement said the 80-year-old Pearson is "80 to 85 percent back to normal" and a full recovery is expected soon.
The family says the stroke affected his left side, but he is able to walk slowly and his arm is continuing to gain maneuverability. He is continuing to undergo therapy on his arm and leg.
Pearson's 105 Cup wins are second-most all-time behind Richard Petty (200).
Infielder Gordon Beckham has agreed to a $2 million, one-year contract with the Chicago White Sox, who cleared a roster spot by designating outfielder Dayan Viciedo for assignment.
Beckham has spent almost all of his six big league seasons with the White Sox, who traded him to the Los Angeles Angels on Aug. 21. He made $4,175,000 last season, when he hit .226, and Los Angeles declined to offer him a contract by the Dec. 2 deadline, making him a free agent.
Drafted with the eighth pick overall by the White Sox in 2008, Beckham is a career .245 hitter.
The 25-year-old Viciedo hit .231 with 21 homers and 58 RBIs in 2014. Chicago has 10 days to trade him, send him outright to the minor leagues or place him on waivers.
Viciedo agreed Jan. 12 to a $4.4 million, one-year contract, and Chicago would be responsible for $721,311 in termination pay if he's released.
The Williams sisters and teenage Australian Open semifinalist Madison Keys have been chosen for the United States as it seeks to return to the top group in the Fed Cup.
U.S. captain Mary Joe Fernandez announced that 18-time major champion Serena Williams and seven-time Grand Slam winner Venus Williams will join Keys and 30th-ranked Varvara Lepchenko on the team that faces Argentina in Buenos Aires on Feb. 7-8.
The 19-year-old Keys upset Venus in the Australian Open to reach her first major semifinal, where she will face top-ranked Serena.
The Americans have fallen out of the Fed Cup's World Group for just the second time since the current format was introduced in 1995. They must beat Argentina then win another series in April to return to the top group next year.
A founding member of the golf club hosting this week's Dubai Desert Classic has died after suffering cardiac arrest while warming up on the driving range before the pro-am for the European Tour event.
The European Tour says in a statement the course at the Emirates Golf Club was closed on Wednesday following the death of Ashok Bakshi, who collapsed on the practice range and was transferred by air ambulance to a local hospital after being treated by the tour's chief medical officer. Bakshi died after receiving further treatment in hospital.
The pro-am was canceled.
The tour says Bakshi, who was a former captain of the club, was a "hugely popular figure throughout the golfing community in Dubai."
Tony Stewart has purchased the All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Series, one of the oldest, traveling winged sprint car tours in the country.
Stewart has also reached a separate deal with Rob Hunter and Shane Helms, principals of the Renegade Sprint Series, that will merge both series together under the All Star Circuit of Champions banner beginning this year.
The acquisition is just the latest in Stewart's growing portfolio.
The three-time NASCAR champion also owns Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, and fields two World of Outlaws cars out of Tony Stewart Racing. He also is co-owner of NASCAR's four-team Stewart-Haas Racing, which won the Sprint Cup title last season with Kevin Harvick.

PHOENIX (AP) - One person has been killed in an accident on Interstate 10 about 80 miles west of Phoenix.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety's duty office says the two-vehicle crash happened at about 11:50 p.m. Friday and closed the westbound lanes of the interstate for nearly eight hours.
Additional details on the accident and whether there were others injured were not immediately available Saturday morning.

Curriculum grids for DNP 2.0 tracks are now available! These grids are for students who are beginning the DNP program in autumn 2013.
We have a Graduate School-approved transition plan that, wherever possible, meets the needs of our currently enrolled MN and DNP students. We will support your ability to graduate on time, make no changes that increase your cost, and allow you to choose curricular options that are the least restrictive for you. Using these principles, the transition plan will ensure that, wherever possible, students in DNP 1.0 or the MN are able to complete the appropriate degree requirements in a timely manner.

An "A," standing for "atheist" or "agnostic" stands among the other holiday displays at Daley Plaza in downtown Chicago. | Associated Press
Updated: January 16, 2014 6:14AM
Not all atheists are against Christmas with public protests opposing Nativity scenes and personal diatribes over religion-based holiday shows in schools.
Many atheists — defined as "a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods" — are just as excited about the Christmas holidays as joyful Christian believers. Or so says a prominent Valparaiso physician who's a reborn atheist, of sorts, after being a God-loving, Bible-believing, soul-saving Christian for more than 40 years.
"Many atheists such as me believe in letting Christmas be Christmas," he told me during lunch recently. "I love Christmas and I would encourage my fellow atheists to not try to change it. Nor should they try to come up with imitations of Christmas."
For instance, the new eight-foot-tall lighted display of "A" — for atheism and agnosticism — which now resides alongside the creche and menorah in Daley Plaza in Chicago. It was erected by the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation to "encourage atheists and agnostics to come out of the closet."
Personally, I don't need a public "A" display to come out of the closet of agnosticism. And let's be spiritually honest with one another: Everyone is an atheist about the gods they don't believe in.
"Atheism is an opinion after a decision about a supernatural being," the doctor said. "Either the supernatural exists or it doesn't exist, period. There's no in between. Personally, I want the truth, not fables written by desert tribes thousands of years ago."
This hotly contested seasonal debate about Christmas boils down to fear, insists the doctor, whose name I'm not revealing because he, too, has fears. Fears that his personal beliefs — or nonbeliefs in this case — will hurt his medical practice and invade his personal privacy.
"It comes down to fear from both sides," he told me. "Religious people are fearful of losing their beliefs, their traditions, their supernatural security blanket. And atheists are fearful that no one is listening to them and their rational nonbeliefs."
Webster's defines fear as "a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil or pain, whether the threat is real or imagined." Exactly — real or imagined, I remind you.
Nothing scares people more than being scared of so many things that they feel they can't control. And no one knows how to wield this psychological tool more than our leaders and rulers, dating back eons, long before Jesus was born. Or Santa Claus for that matter.
"God is like Santa Claus for adults, and look how protective we are around little children maintaining the myth of Santa Claus," the doctor said.
"There are many people who may, in fact, be rather religious with very serious doubts as to whether their story is true. In other words, whether a god actually exists," he noted. "They wrestle with these serious doubts often."
"Since religion brings them comfort, however, they are very quick to defend religion, especially around those holidays which seemed to bolster their comfort level regarding religion. They see any alternative views as rather threatening because of their own fears about whether God exists."
On the other hand, atheists who feel they have woken up from a dream, or "the matrix" of religion, are fearful that the world will simply go on as it has for thousands of years, following religion's lead.
"Some atheists are like the little boy who no one listens to and who eventually tends to throw a tantrum and make their opinions known in an angry way," the doctor said. "They also see religion as a force against human rights and the teaching of science."
"They are afraid that religion will maintain its hold on society and politics," he added. "There still tends to be discrimination against atheists to come out, so that can add to their fear."
Some atheists view this issue as strictly political, by protesting against religious dogma and its trappings in our government and secular society. Others look at more as a social, psychological or philosophical issue, as the doctor sees it.
"There are atheists all around us in society. Our doctors, teachers, insurance salesmen and store clerks are folks just like anyone," he said. "There are more people coming out as atheists now and also more religious people coming to a realization that gods never existed."
"This is the result of 9/11, which motivated people to look at the powerful effect religion can have over otherwise normal people. And the other factor is the Internet, which now supplies an even greater amount of freely and privately accessible information about religion, outside of the box of religion."
The doctor, who "read himself" into becoming an atheist, cited one of his favorite books, "Caught in the Pulpit: Leaving Belief Behind" by authors Daniel Dennett and Linda LaScola. It poses an intriguing question: What is it like to be a preacher who can no longer believe the creed?
"Becoming an atheist is like coming out of a dream," said the doctor, who also doesn't believe in a devil or Satan. "A possibility isn't a probability, and this is something that many people of faith don't understand."
Christmas, though, is something that everyone can understand and enjoy, even atheists and agnostics.
"Yes, we would like the Jesus story to go the way of the Santa story and the Zeus and Thor story, and I think it will. It is only a story," he said flatly. "But stories, albeit stories with a fictitious basis, can still inform us about life and give us joy."
"Don't be mean about it," he often tells other atheists about Christmas, its ancient traditions and religious celebrations. "Be friendly about it and be compassionate about it."
"Atheists don't have to believe in who the Christ is in Christmas. Simply enjoy it for what it is. And it's OK to say have a very Merry Christmas."

Finally, there's new Hope for the Oscars show!
What a nice surprise for host! Let's be honest. Seth MacFarlane hadn't been on those short lists we pundits keep of likely folks to emcee the 85th Annual Academy Awards, but he's an ideal choice, even if largely unknown to the masses.
Hats off to the academy chiefs for not casting by Q Score and star power. No doubt they learned their lesson after employing James Franco and Anne Hathaway two painful years ago. Those celebs were just pretty actors powerless to give their audience anything better than the dreck penned by hack writers.
MacFarlane won't let a similar fiasco occur because he's a savvy scribe who's also a showman – the perfect combo. He's a savage comedian who is fearless about outing hypocrisy in Hollywood.
RELATED: See Seth MacFarlane when he hosted the WGA Awards
Also, he performs shtick spot on, as he recently demonstrated deftly on "Saturday Night Live" as airhead Olympian Ryan Lochte. He sings and plays the piano -- preferring old-fashioned standards over more modern pop and rap. Other than that, he's widely considered to be rather hip.
He's also an award winner. MacFarlane bagged two Emmys for his TV series "Family Guy" -- voicing the dastardly tot Stewie and writing the song "You've Got a Lot to See."
And, hallelujah, the Oscars finally have an emcee who's a significant filmmaker. MacFarlane's recent directorial debut, "Ted," was a superhit that could end up winning Golden Globes, which have those separate categories for comedies.
RELATED: Seth MacFarlane makes merry with news of Oscar host [Video]
Oddly, "Ted" doesn't have much Oscar buzz, but that's because academy members are snobs ripe for raspberries, which McFarlane will surely heap upon them.
Oh, yeah, one more thing: MacFarlane kind of looks like a young Bob Hope (sans the ski nose), doesn't he? That's a good omen. Hope was not only Oscar's most frequent host, but its greatest too.

Police in Newport, Vt., have arrested two men in connection with at least $3,000 worth of items stolen from homes this month.
Police said 21-year-old Glen Boule of Newport and 18-year-old Ashton Chaske of Coventry were arrested Saturday after a chase in which stolen items were recovered, including a handgun. Someone had seen them going into garages and called police.
Both have been charged with burglary and other offenses. It wasn't immediately known if they had lawyers.

Other Pets at See Spot Rescued
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Joseph Gordon Levitt, a Jersey City Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Jersey City, or seeking a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog from a breeder in Jersey City.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Jersey City already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Jersey City breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Jersey City paves the way for another one to be saved.

Remember Project Ara? We haven't heard much about it since Motorola revealed its existence back in October, exciting us with the real possibility that one day we will be able to effectively build and customize phones to suit our tastes. As it turns out, the Advanced Technology and Projects team (now owned by Google) is still working full-steam ahead. Today they've announced the first Ara Developers' Conference, which will take place online from April 15 - 16th.
Google's Advanced Technology And Projects group (ATAP) in charge of Projects Ara and Tango, recently transferred to Google after the sale of Motorola Mobility to Lenovo, has the best motto ever (at least when it comes to divisions in large, publicly traded companies).
Google may have just sold Motorola Mobility to Lenovo, but it seems the giant may have kept one of the manufacturer's juiciest pieces (besides patents) to itself.
According to Pocket-lint, Lenovo has confirmed that Google will be keeping Moto's Advanced Technology and Projects group, notably responsible for Project Ara, the modular phone project announced in October in collaboration with Phonebloks, and other experimental ventures.
The team, led by former DARPA Director Regina Dugan is said by the Verge to be heading to Google's Android team, reporting to Sundar Pichai.
Quick reminder: the modular smartphone is a real thing that's really happening. Motorola blew our minds with the announcement of a plan to create modular phones not totally unlike the Phonebloks concept, and now the manufacturer is one step closer to making some real hardware. 3D Systems, makers of the Cube 3D printer and similar equipment, is Motorola's first partner on the Project Ara.
So what does that mean? Motorola needs some way of adding flexibility to a traditionally rigid manufacturing process, and 3D printing would seem to be a natural solution.
As we're all still trying to come to grips with Motorola's newly revealed modular phone platform known as Project Ara, the folks at Phonebloks aren't missing a beat. They've uploaded a new video that explains a bit more about how they teamed up with Motorola. Also, there's a quick peek at Project Ara.
When Phonebloks started talking to companies about how to make the concept real, the Phonebloks guys found Moto was particularly interested.
Remember Phonebloks and how we all had a good laugh about how unworkable and idealistic it was? It turns out Motorola has been working on a similar project for the last year, and it's called Project Ara. This is really happening.

What a world.
In real-time, it was about 15 minutes between Eagles fans finally getting what they wished for so deeply — but getting it the hard way when Michael Vick left with a concussion and Nick Foles came in — and Alex Smith getting gonged with a helmet-to-helmet hit, suffering a concussion of his own during the 49ers-Rams game. Everything is happening.
Smith will miss the remainder of the game. He's been replaced by Colin Kaepernick, and that may be an upgrade for fantasy purposes. Yes, I'm aware that I'm a cold-hearted dick for thinking that while a human just had his brains scrambled. Give me your worst.
Smith's fantasy production is the epitome of average, and average is fine during bye weeks. But with byes ending next week, having the mobile and elusive Kaepernick under center for any length of time might be the jolt that Vernon Davis needs. Karpernick's versatility could create opportunities and open space, and when he inevitably gets into trouble he'll turn to his tight end security blanket first.

This Week's Sales at Toys R Us
Posted by yellowcastle,There are several deals this week at Toys R Us, most notably Buy One, Get One 50% Off LEGO Series 3 Minifigures. While it's great that the average minifigure price subsequently drops to $2.25, it also seems to reaffirm that we could start seeing Series 4 Minifigures at TRU very soon.
Also, they are extending last week's deals where (1) you receive a free "My First LEGO" set (5932) with a LEGO construction set purchase of $50 or more; (2) Buy One, Get One 50% Off Bionicle sets normally $8.99 or $9.99; and (3) 30% Off the normal TRU price for the AT-AT (8129), Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship (7930) and Slave I (8097).
Lastly, you can receive a FREE Bionicle All Stars sets when you buy any two Hero Factory construction sets. Click here to buy now.

Not a bad deal on the S3, if your local TRU has them in stock. Other than that, other sales are nothing special.
they keep putting the same star wars sets on sale. i already own the AT-AT and Slave I, and have no interest in the bounty hunter gunship. i wish they would put something else on sale
My TRU never has any minifigs! :(
The last one really angers me. I don't care how many BIONICLE sets I get, I am never going to buy those Hero Factory sets. That's a low blow, trying to make us buy HF sets to get BIONICLE sets.
Also, they are BIONICLE Stars, not all-stars, just to point out.
I still need the cyborg, basebal player, and elf from series 3. This is a good way for me to get them... Anyone know when series 4 is coming out?
@joeyzbrown: I've heard that the official release date is April 1st but they Series 4's might be available early in Toys R Us or some other shops like that...
The official release date for series 4 according to the April calendar is April 15th.
Also I asked at customer service at TRU and they said that they got a memo saying the new Legos will be delayed, but said to call tomorrow because their Lego rep will be in.
I have never seen minifigures at any of the 3 TRU stores in the Portland, OR area... Whereas they are all restocking Ambush at Cairo (7195) as if they found a huge back stock of that Indiana Jones item in a warehouse somewhere.
What's the difference between hero factory and bionicle? They all look the same to me, never got into either one.
My TRU has none neither! Luckily the nearby Lego store, surprisingly, still has a whole box worth. Got me the Tennis and Baseball guy.
dang. I just bought furno 2.0 and surge 2.0. a few weeks ago.
In response to LegoCity578 and any others who have the same problem of TRU's lack of minifigures, I spotted a case in a Barnes & Noble bookstore in my area, maybe you could find some there. Thanks for the sale update!
@wiredforsound: TRU Jantzen beach had 2 new cases...they keep behind the customer service counter. I was there yesterday afternoon. good luck!
@ teal93mr2 - Kinda wish someone would explain the difference to me too! When I was young I got the first bionicles they had moving arms... not sure if that's important or not. Though I personally like the designs better for hero factory, although to my untrained eye it looks like both follow the same direction. Bionicle for me became a turnoff when they started pooping out all these remakes and touch-ups of the same guys I owned. After that I watched as the theme inflated itself to weird directions. Either way based on what I saw you were crazy if you didn't just wait for the bionicles to go on sale.
For all those people in CANADA TRU has sales on Hero Factory (etc), Pharaoh's Quest, Board games, and Bricks'Nmore. http://www.toysrus.ca/category/index.jsp?categoryId=3590462
@wiredforsound: Yeah I've picked up 4 Ambush in Cairo sets at 2 different TRUs in the past week. I was a bit puzzled because the other 2 Indy sets I got this year were both just after New Years. I saw Canal Chase and Jungle Cutter in a returns cart behind the counter.
teal93mr2- It would take too long to point out the differences between them, but BIONICLE is far better, to keep it short.

Even if you get to the point in a relationship where you and your boyfriend are totally comfortable with one another, things change when you bring others into the equation. At some point you may find yourself in a bit of a predicament: managing sleeping arrangements while at his or your parents' house.
Some lovebirds will abstain and refrain from giving into their sexual urges. Others will sneak into each other's rooms, regardless of the rules and etiquette of their host's home, because when you're feeling frisky, sometimes you have to give in. Some women are nonchalant about getting caught, while others say the sheer embarrassment causes them to rethink their sleeping arrangements for the future. We asked 10 women: "What's a normal sleeping arrangement when you and your boyfriend are staying at your parents' house?" Keep reading »

Some Labradors will be born with a brown nose. The "red" coloration for the Labrador is not a registered color and so there are no standards for it. Some dogs noses will turn to black, while other's will stay brown. Some have been known to be a mixture, depending on the dog. If your pup's nose is not black by 6 weeks old, I would be concerned as to whether it will change at all. 1/26/2015 6:10:38 PM
First off, you need to take both your dam and the puppies to the vet. Puppies and the dam should be checked out within three days of giving birth/being born. Puppies should not be rehomed until at least 8 weeks of age. Although, between 10 - 12 weeks of age is better for the puppies, as it gives them more time to learn social skills from their siblings and mother. Unless your puppies are papered purebreds and both the dam and sire are titled, then you should sell your puppies for about what it would cost to spay/neuter in your area, plus what it costs you for the first round of shots. So if it costs $200.00 for a spay/neuter on average and the whole litter cost $120.00 for shots, then you should charge $320.00, as that will help you cover your food costs and the shots given to the puppies. But also so you know that the people adopting your puppies have the funds available to spay/neuter their dog when it is at the right age so not to add to the over-population issue.12/24/2014 10:15:53 AM
The average life-span of the Labrador Retriever is 10 - 11 years. But in recent years because of the popularity of the breed, the life-span of the breed can be 8 - 9 years because of bad breeding. Finding a reputable, qualified and knowledgeable breeder is key to getting a healthy pup. However, diet and exercise is also key in this breed. The Labrador needs two hours of hard running exercise a day once the dog has fully developed. This breed easily packs on weight, so a high quality, grain-free diet is key to keeping this breed healthy for it's entire life. Once a dog is over the age of 6, they can be considered middle/old age depending on the breed. Keeping an eye on your dog and routine vet visits will help catch any problems that may occur with an aging dog.10/27/2014 6:33:42 PM
No, it is not cruel at all. In fact, it is a good thing. Reserving your puppy tells the breeder that you are serious about taking your puppy home. It is a good thing that you aren't able to bring it home until a little later. Your puppy will get more of a chance to learn skills from it's mother and litter mate's. 8 weeks old is the earliest a puppy should go home, but bringing a puppy home at 12 - 14 weeks gives you even more of an advantage.7/7/2014 9:51:26 AM
The size of a puppy all depends on the linage of the parents and if the breeder cares about standard size or not. There are many different 'types' of Labrador's, such as the American and the European, which have differences in body style. On average, the pup at 8 weeks old, which is the earliest you should ever get a pup, should be around 9-13 lbs. But again, every puppy is different and depending on the food you are feeding and how much exercise a puppy is getting will also change the weight of the puppy.6/24/2014 9:44:47 AM

Labrador Retriever's are very high energy dogs that give into their prey drive quite easily, since they were bred for retrieving. If you want a Labrador, the best thing to do is to find a responsible and reputable breeder that will socialize your new puppy to cats from a very, very early age. Then it is up to you as an owner to teach your pup to respect cats. This can easily be done using positive reinforcement training such as clicker or marker training.4/29/2014 3:32:31 PM
We've had numerous labs who have grown up with and have been great with all our cats. 1/20/2015 8:42:16 PM
Dogs in general are known for eating grass. This, however, is normally not a problem unless the owner is seems that the dog is consistently eating grass and then throwing up. Back in days when dogs were wolves, the wolves would eat every part of the animal that they killed for food, including the stomach contents of the herbivore. Dogs today will eat grass for the same reason, to get a nutrient that their bodies are craving. Dogs will also eat grass if they have an upset stomach as they know if they eat a lot of grass, they will throw up. So if your dog is always eating grass and throwing up every time, it's time for a vet visit. But if she eating grass and not having any issues, then she is fine.4/29/2014 3:37:04 PM
If she is not eating her food, but eating treats, then your dog is being picky. You should be feeding your dog a high quality grain-free dog food. The better nutrition and taste will make any picky dog eat.7/11/2014 1:11:56 PM
There is no solid rule as to how long your dog can be left alone. Generally, it depends on how well the dog has been house broken. Mine naps most of the day and occasionally plays with his chew toy. If you're going to leave the dog alone for 8 hours or so, just make sure water and access to a bathroom should be your concern. Any dog that has to be left to himself for a few days is just irresponsible and should be left with another caretaker.2/28/2014 10:55:52 PM
It depends. If your lab is older it is okay to leave them in my experience,but he/she needs a place to go to the bathroom. When my dog was younger a couple hours and he would start to chew on things. So 2-4 hours. I would say. But I'm not an expert4/27/2014 8:37:01 PM
Color has nothing to do with hunting ability. If you want a good hunting dog look at the titles in it's pedigree. On another not, depending on yellow and chocolate recessive genes, you will likely end up with some (if not all) black puppies. 3/7/2014 12:43:36 PM
I agree with the original responder in regards to hunting ability. Does the ivory dog have a liver or black nose? If black nosed, you will most likely end up with some (if not all) black puppies. If the dog has a liver colored nose, she/he carries the gene for chocolate and chocolate puppies are a possibility. To have a true grasp of the coat color possibilities, you need to DNA test for each dog's coat color code. You can test for the presence of yellow (E Locus) and chocolate (B Locus). If your chocolate carries no yellow (EE), you will have no yellow puppies. If your yellow (ivory) carries no chocolate (BB), you will have no chocolates. Everything would revert back to black.3/18/2014 7:50:20 AM
Your dog could have an allergy or kennel cough. I would take the dog to the vet. Kennel cough is highly contagious to other dogs12/13/2013 6:05:41 AM
It would be what it is! Mixed, what is more noticed about the dog? Does it look more lab or pit? Then if it looks more than the other, that is most likely it will be that bred1/7/2014 1:09:35 PM
Once the dog is 5-6 weeks past when her heat cycle started (4 weeks after ovulation), you can take her to a veterinarian and get an ultrasound done to confirm pregnancy - sorry, there is no EPT for dogs3/7/2014 12:47:04 PM
About ten to twelve years if well taken care of and healthy.11/24/2013 10:57:01 AM
They usually live 10 to 12 years.6/10/2014 2:30:45 AM
Set a routine. Only give your Labrador Retriever puppy water and food up to four times a day( at first) then let him/her out half an hour after he/she eats or drinks. If you crate train him/her, make sure the cage is only big enough for the dog to turn around in. Dont do the puppy pads! That gives the dog a mentality that its ok to go in the house, no matter what ppl tell you. Scold your dog while its going in the house, not after, because the dog will not understand what it did wrong. Been a dog trainer for 10 years. 6/19/2013 1:42:09 AM

You can't really stop your lab from shedding - my advice would be to bathe her once or twice every month and make sure you groom regularly. Most dogs have a wet dog smell after you bathe them. 5/7/2013 11:27:14 PM
You can't really stop your lab from shedding but I know a great brush that gets rid of so much hair. The ferminator brush is an amazing brush! It could get rid of pound of hair just laying on your dog and it also gets deep into the hair to get our the nasty stuff. Its a great product! I sugguest using it!6/11/2013 5:29:49 PM
Labs shed year round. You can try using fish oil capsules once a day. The same ones people take. Don't give fish oil to a pregnant dog.8/27/2013 11:50:04 AM
You can't stop it. No shampoo can help my dog sheds sooooo MUCH. I will sweep the floor and she will walk right where I swept and it looks like I didn't sweep at all!4/27/2014 8:40:26 PM
Generally, your dog will stay by your side, especially Labradors. Even if they are used as stud dogs, I would not worry too much.8/23/2013 2:46:06 PM
A stud dog can smell a female in heat 2 miles away. He may mark more territory at this time. Yes he may wander. Hopefully the families with a girl in heat are keeping her indoors.8/27/2013 11:52:58 AM

after they are 3 period4/4/2013 5:33:41 PM
After Labs have had their hips and elbows evaluated by the OFA. They have to be 24 months for the OFA evaluation. They should also have their CERF, and cleared for EIC and CNM - minimum. Both the bitch and stud should have these health checks done before even thinking about breeding.3/7/2014 12:51:37 PM
My cousins breeds labs and she said some get pregnant at 2 years old.4/27/2014 8:41:30 PM
Like I told another person the ferminator is the best brush in the world! It gets rid of shedding for a while and could take pounds off your dog. It may take a little of time but it is the best thing to use! 6/11/2013 5:31:23 PM
Well, I do believe they can have mental retardation. I know mine does. But she loves the water. It is not a bad thing that Dixie doesn't like the water some dogs like it others dont4/27/2014 8:46:05 PM
Did you get her as a puppy? or just you rescue her because ewe rescued a Labrador and he is scared of somethings we think he might have been abused and or wasn't socialized as a puppy. Hope this helped.If not just ask another question :)11/19/2013 10:49:57 PM
The most loving gentle, caring, protective, special, smart, courageous, wonderful, calm, energetic (yes they are calm and energetic) dogs ever. I'm a teen and the best dog ever,buddy, passed a few years ago. My mom had me when she was in college so when she had to study she took buddy and I to the park so she could study when I was a baby, barely able to walk. Buddy would walk right next to me the whole and catch me when I fell. My mom said when she first brought me home buddy didn't know what to do with me, but he figured it out and became the most protective and best dog EVER!!!!!! I love buddy forever and always4/27/2014 9:10:37 PM
We had a part Black Lab that we had for 16 Yrs.3/10/2013 5:34:08 PM
We enjoyed our black Lab for 15 years. She had ailing health problems for last 3 months. It was time for us to say goodby and let her go to sleep. It was very difficult. But, she was holding on only for us. She went to sleep at our Vets after final goodbye. It was the right thing to do. We were blessed with another Lab shortly after.3/15/2013 2:31:04 PM
Labs will eat at a fast rate. With that in mind. Labs will overeat. They need to be kept on a scrict feeding regiment. Overweight labs will have many health problems2/4/2013 8:47:55 PM
There is only one breed of labrador. It varies a little from genetics but not that much different. Male dogs usuly are bigger than females so if you are wanting one as big as possible, then a male should grow bigger. Males typically get 22 to 25 inches and 60 to 76 puonds. Females get 21 to 24 inches and 56 to 71 pounds.1/27/2013 11:12:08 PM
There isn't a separate big lab sub species, but you can seek out breeders that breed larger labs. However, I would try to avoid those dogs since they are more likely to have hip and joint issues. I currently have a 135 lb male, and he is not the biggest I've had. That being said he is adopted, and his size isn't a big deal to me. I would recommend you get a Newfoundland if you want the large lab. Labs are bed from News, and the News are typically calmer, and with a large dog calmer is easier since they don't know their size.1/31/2013 10:17:18 PM
You should look at a Newfoundland instead if you want size with lab type behavior. Labs can get large, I currently have a 130 lb male, and I had an even larger one before, but it isn't normal. If you find a breeder that has a large male and large female, you are likely to get large puppies. However, since the breed standard is less than 80 lb, you won't find many quality breeders doing this on purpose. The bigger dogs have more hip problems and in general more health issues, so keep that in mind.1/31/2013 10:25:34 PM
Note: We provide the only safe marketplace for Labrador Retriever breeders to list puppies for sale to rehome their purebred dogs. Breeders listing puppies for sale on Next Day Pets are required to verify their identity for your protection.

So I died, and to be totally honest with you it was a lot more painful than I had expected. A hell of a lot more painful. But then again I am fairly sure that you are not supposed to remember the actual death part, if you know what I mean.
No, you don't, do you?
You're aware of Life Extension Technologies Inc.?
Okay, I think I had better explain a little,.
Actually, I had better go back to the very beginning.
Just a fantastic read, and to be honest a brilliant concept i love how the book comes together at the end amazing!! thankyou for being creative!!!

Wichita State wasn't even supposed to get by Pittsburgh in their opening game. Now, after another impressive showing on Thursday night against La Salle, the No. 9 Shockers look poised to make a run all the way to the Final Four.
Wichita State jumped on La Salle early and led wire to wire, dominating the Explorers in every facet of the game, with a 44-23 rebounding advantage especially jumping off the page. In addition, the Shockers shot nearly 45 per cent from the field and over 40 per cent from three-point range while holding La Salle to just 35.7 per cent shooting. In truth, nothing about this result should have come as a surprise to anyone. La Salle's run to the Sweet Sixteen was a nice story, but they were in over their heads. Wichita State, on the other hand, looks more than capable of upsetting a shaky Ohio State side with a trip to the Final Four on the line.
The Shockers opened the tournament by routing a Pittsburgh team that some pegged as the sleeper of the West Region and then followed that up by rallying past No. 1 Gonzaga. With the 72-58 victory over La Salle now in the books, Wichita State's three wins have come by an average of 12.7 points. That's not the mark of a fluky Cinderella. This team is good, and they have no reason to fear the Buckeyes.
Don't mess with the Shockers, man. Just ask this guy…

I grew a ton of garlic chives for the chives, but each late summer/early fall I am rewarded with beautiful white blooms. I have two large patches and plan to gather seeds for giveaways.
Do YOU grow garlic chives? I have never met a potato or casserole that couldn't be improved by garlic chives. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I WS'd them this year for the flowers. Several butterflies particularly like them, however, they didn't flower this year. Hopefully, next year. |

I came upon them by accident last year when I saw them in a Chinese nursery called Chinese chives. They were just a small clump so I never used any of them. I was so taken with the flowers that I have continued to grow them this year as an ornamental. Searching on the internet made me realize that we called them garlic chives. They add interest to my herb garden at this time of the year, and I happen to be partial to white flowers. I am thinking of moving a few to my rock garden where I have a few other alliums. |
- Posted by christie_sw_mo Z6 (My Page) on Wed, Sep 7, 11 at 8:43
I planted mine for the flowers to attract butterflies and have never used it in any recipes but my clump is getting big enough now that I could sacrifice some for potatoes. Sounds good. Mine's been in bloom since around the end of August I think. It's held up very well in our hotter and drier than normal summer by the way. |
I have a small clump that I'm treating as an ornamental until it gets to be a big clump. I really like regular chives as flowers -- bright blue for about a month. |

Just discovered a few clumps that were left over from the location of a former herb garden! What a treat for the eyes! Especially now when I've lost so many things to the drought. Chris |
- Posted by aklinda 7 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Sep 8, 11 at 16:38
I have several clumps throughout a perennial flower bed for the flowers - both regular chives and garlic chives. They do well in the intense sun and heat of New Mexico plus they serve a useful purpose of also being edible. |
I use my chives by plucking off several out of different areas in the clump, not the flower stems themselves and snip them into small pieces and dry them out in a bowl. Then we use them in bowls of taters and they are especially tasty when you make frozen corn in a pan, a bit of water, some butter, chives and minced dried onions. My family loves frozen corn cooked up this way. ~Tina |
I love garlic chive flowers! They emerge in my garden near the end of the season when some other plants are beyond their prime, and they last a long time. The best thing - they attract hundreds of insects. Insects that I never see except around the chives. It is fascinating to watch the hordes of different insects. |

I've got some I rescued when I saw they were still alive after bringing them in from growing from seed their first year and literally dumping them in a pile of soil I thought I'd mix and use again. They were like that for months. To tell the truth, I felt sorry for them when I saw there was still a little green in them, dry as a bone, and they taught me how most living things want to live. So I put them in a middle size pot with fresh soil on my step ladder by an east window in the breakfast room I use as my potting shed lol. They fell off once and lost some soil. Should put them in a different pot with fresh soil again. It took about 4 years, but they flower, one set another one, I didn't pay much attention because I didn't expect much. They say they are invasive. Well my clump finally migrated to the center of a smallish pot and looks like 4 or 5 little onions on the bottom lol. They bounce back fast after getting a haircut. I snip them into all sorts of things, mostly to add interest. I can't taste them. They are especially nice when I cook my potpourri of baked fish or baked potatoes and sour cream when I don't have green onions. If I bite into a little piece, I can taste them, but I can't in whatever I've snipped them into, and I pile a lot on my potatoes. I guess I like the look of it if nothing else. |

I grew them a few years ago for the flowers, and as a bonus I harvested the dried seed-heads and used them in a dried arrangement. On the down side, you will still have the odor of garlic coming from them; if you don't mind that you will have some nice looking dried material. The delicate flowers are a lovely addition to any garden. They produce an abundance of seeds, too. I do remember that the pollinators loved them. |
- Posted by aliska12000 Z5 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 13, 11 at 19:58
I've got one ready to bloom, will pay more attention. I can't smell them, but it's not a full pot, don't know why they've spread so slowly. But I took a nibble after I posted, and they have a bite, a little bitter, and garlic flavor, definitely a strong taste from the equivalent of one little snip. But I like the bulb garlic when I really want garlic flavor in cooking, maybe both. |
- Posted by ghoghunter Zone6b SE PA (My Page) on Wed, Sep 14, 11 at 8:07
Yes we have Garlic chives planted in our Butterfly garden at Silver Lake Nature center and they are blooming away right now. They're a great plant with the double bonus of being edible and wonderfully flavorful!! So easy to grow too! Joann |
- Posted by aliska12000 Z5 (My Page) on Wed, Sep 14, 11 at 20:10
I guess I read early on they're invasive. Now if they're pretty I guess I don't much care if they are or not. I should get some going inside and out after reading this thread. |
I had a hard time getting rid of all my garlic chives. They reseeded invasively even in my hard clay. I pulled them for years. |

Sight Readings: A 35-Year Survey of Work by Roxanne Sexauer, an exhibit organized by the Central California Museum of Art and curated by Gordon Fuglie, Director and Head of Curatorial Affairs.
Exhibition Open: September 2 to October 11, 2014
Reception: September 13, 2014, 6 to 8pm
Lecture: By Gordon Fuglie, Exhibit Curator, Saturday September 13, 5pm, Edye
Print Demonstration: By Roxanne Sexauer, September 24, 3pm, Rm 126, Art Department, Main Campus
Curator Gordon Fuglie writes: "As a young art student in 1973, Roxanne Sexauer fantasized about studying with the last surviving German Expressionist woodcut master, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff (1884 – 1976). Her earliest works crackle with the anxious and dark angularities of classic German Expressionism, her homage to a modernist movement in which woodcut printmaking played a major role. Eventually her youthful enthusiasm cooled, and by the 1980s, Sexauer embraced post modernism, developing a hybrid, multi-layered approach that mixes botanical and zoological forms with ideas and images from the history of science, printmaking and mythology. Finding this direction fruitful, it continues to inform her oeuvre.
Now at mid-career, the Long Beach artist continues to work mainly in woodcut, though in recent years she has combined lithography, silkscreen and collagraphy in her images. Of her work, curator Gordon Fuglie says, 'I have seen her imagery progress for two decades. Roxanne's art is distinctive because it is complex, vibrant, and always recognizable for its adroit use of technique with multiple images bearing layers of meaning. Connoisseurs regard her as one of the best woodcut artists in the region.'
Despite her strong accomplishments, Sexauer's art has not enjoyed the wider exposure it deserves. In recognition of her role as an influential educator, leading printmaker and contemporary artist, Sight Readings addresses this oversight in presenting the first career survey of Sexauer's work. Comprising 35 key graphics, the exhibition is organized chronologically, beginning with a 1973 self-portrait in the German Expressionist style, concluding with works completed this past summer."
The exhibit will open to the public on Tuesday, September 2, and closing on Saturday, October 11, 2014.
A reception for the artist will take place on September 13, from 6pm to 8pm. Preceding the reception at 5 pm will be a talk by curator Gordon Fuglie in The Edye Second Space (adjacent to the gallery). The public is invited to both free events.
A Print Demonstration by Roxanne Sexauer will be held on Wednesday, September 24, from 3pm, in
room 126, of the Art department, on the Main Campus.
The Barrett Art Gallery is located in the SMC Performing Arts Center on the corner of Santa Monica
Boulevard and 11th Street, in Santa Monica, CA. Due to building construction, please enter the Barrett
Art Gallery and Edye Second Space, through the 11th Street side of the building. Hours for the Barrett
Art Gallery are noon to 5pm, Tuesday through Friday and Saturday from 11am to 4pm.

Reception: October 25, 6-8 pm
Gallery closed: Nov., 11 & Nov. 27 -29
Franklyn Phillips's primary artistic medium is ceramics where he has continued to redefine himself for the past fifty years as a professional studio artist, ceramic sculptor and ceramic painter. His earlier large-scale sculptures were influenced by previous undergraduate studies in Biology and Comparative Anatomy while later ceramic paintings and sculptures evolved as expressions of his growing involvement with the mysteries of meditation, metamorphosis and the hidden drama of nature. Franklyn is Head of Ceramics at Santa Monica College.
