Those are tree/shrub roots and my money would be on the cherry if they're sending up shoots.They're well known for it. Do the leaves look like those in Wanna be's first photo?

I should go and check my own seed if yours are ripe Lesley
I've already let all the hellebores drop without collecting any
Leycesteria formosa, himalayan honeysuckle and assorted other names
seeds about a bit. Lovely flowers, bracts and berries

Where did you get it? is it likely to be ex Roma?
I doubt it's the soil
Goodness Lesley. I don't know.

But give me a tellima any day, they're not miffy and never die on you
Tellima grandiflora, nice scent?
About the cakes or the robin's pincushion David?
I think that's Dove's knowledge of native plants and all things related Lily. They're very common on wild roses.

Update: my friend Nicole suggests the following so we'll see if it works!
"For night terrors I'd try the Bach Flower Remedy Aspen – it's for fears where the cause of the fear can't be named, and is commonly given to children suffering from night terrors."
I had another broken night last night – 3-4 hours sleep and feel shattered today. It's an ongoing thing, as Julieta is having . What to do? We're all exhausted and there's no easy solution. I'm just hoping it's a phase three-year-olds go through and she'll grow out of it. She finds it hard to settle at night and has slept in our bed but it's not falling asleep that's the problem: it's the frequent waking and crying.
She has bad dreams, talks in her sleep, thrashes around, wants cuddles, and last night, wanted to go and sleep downstairs with me on the sofa. I tried to comfort and cuddle her but she got annoyed at being touched so it's impossible to know what to do for the best. We went downstairs and I sat with her on the sofa until she fell asleep again. No hope of sleep for me so I made some tea and finished writing an article on fairtrade condoms.
Nighttime creativity is fine once in a while but the lack of sleep is a regular occurrence, and it's wearing me down in all areas. I couldn't even do basic arithmetic at work this morning. My mind just went blank. Highly embarrassing.
Any suggestions on how to deal with night terrors would be most welcome. I know it's partly anxiety and she's a hyper child. She's bright and not immune to the fact that Matt and I are separating, but there isn't a bad atmosphere at home. We're amicable about the separation and things have been routine around the house. The night terrors have been going on for some time now, so I can't attribute them solely to our break-up. Ask her about them the following morning, and she can't remember anything at all. It's frustrating.
I posted a status update on this morning to ask my girlfriends for their advice. Gina (my Celebration of Woman goddess) recommended homeopathy, saying it worked for her kids, and my Aussie girlfriend Rebecca sent her commiserations. Her son is on antibiotics again due to another ear infection/virus so her eyes are on stalks this week. It seems most of us aren't getting enough sleep and it does have a massive impact on your health, sanity and wellbeing. Rebecca, I send you a big hug!
I'll look into homeopathy and see what it has to offer, and general relaxation techniques for me, as I'm finding it hard to switch off from work and wind down in the evenings. Perhaps if I'm more relaxed about things, Julieta will be too.

Merck profit beats expectations; shares rise
Shares of Merck advanced in trading Tuesday after the company posted earnings that were better than expected.
Merck, the New Jersey drug maker that's building a $750 million vaccine manufacturing plant in Durham, says it earned $1.65 billion, or 78 cents per diluted share, in the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2008. A year earlier, the company posted a fourth quarter loss after taking a $4.85 billion charge related to the settlement of litigation over the painkiller Vioxx.
Revenue from two of Merck's top drugs, the cholesterol-lowering treatments Zetia and Vytorin, was down by 26 percent due to questions raised about the medicines' effectiveness. Overall revenue fell, to $6.03 billion, from $6.2 billion.
Bizspace Spotlight
But Merck (NYSE: MRK) was able to beat analysts' earnings expectations by slashing costs. The company has cut more than 10,000 jobs over the past three years – and has pledged to eliminate 7,200 more by 2011 – to shore up profits.
Excluding one-time costs and gains, Merck says, it earned 87 cents per diluted share in the fourth quarter. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial had expected the company to earn, on average, 74 cents a share.
Merck shares advanced 6.3 percent, to $30.24, in trading Tuesday.
Looking ahead, Merck reaffirmed its guidance for 2009. In December, Merck said 2009 revenue and profits would be flat at best because of the down economy and pressure on many of the company's drugs.
That forecast isn't stopping Merck from moving ahead with its Durham vaccine plant. The facility is expected to employ 400 people when it's completed in 2011.

Study: Primary enforcement saves lives
"Primary enforcement" of distracted driving laws leads to lower death rates in states with texting laws, while secondary enforcement does not, according to a new study. Meanwhile, another research team found that California's handheld device failed to lower the number of vehicle crashes in its first six months. The study on primary enforcement should bolster state lawmakers seeking to give police the ability to stop and cite distracted driving offenders. "Very little is known about whether laws banning texting while driving have actually improved roadway safety," said researcher Alva … [Read more...]
U.S. drivers: Get tough on texting
Three out of four U.S. drivers support tougher punishments for text messaging and driving, a recent poll suggests. There was little support for the current penalties, which vary widely and are for the most part established by states and municipalities. More than half of those surveyed in the National Safety Council poll backed the use of a point system that would eventually lead to a loss of the driver's license or increased insurance premiums. A majority also backed "large monetary fines" and escalating penalties for serial offenders. "Most people recognize that it will take more than … [Read more...]

Distracted driving crashes accounted for $46 billion (17 percent) of the total economic losses. The societal harm was put at $129 billion (15 percent) of the societal harm.

WARNING READ ME!!! When I first purchased this , I got it off eBay. Soon I found out it was fake . I notice there was tiny shimmers and the pigmentation was not at all the way it was described. I swirled my finger and there was barely any product. When you try this, just by dipping you finger on the surface should be enough. Overall this is a matte bronzer that is super pigmented and totally worth every penny. Sorry about my little rant

Having many of Benefits boxed powders before purchasing this one and all the positive reviews it had I had high expectations and they were defiantly met. I was concerned on how the color would look on my NC15/NC20 skin, but with a light hand it contoured and warmed quite nicely. This is on the cheaper side of bronzers, at Sephora anyways, only being $28 vs other brands like Dior or YSL.

I bought the Hoola bronzer a few years ago and it's still going strong. Granted, it has shattered into many tiny pieces which, in my opinion, is making it harder to use it up.
I love the fact that it is matte and really nice for contouring. I like to use the 3E method of applying it and it looks great, even for contouring the nose and sometimes I even use it as a crease colour for my eyeshadow.
One of the things that I don't like is that in winter when my skin becomes super pale it does have the tendency to look a bit orange which is a big no-no for me. In summer I don't tend to have this problem and if you spend more time blending it probably wouldn't have that effect but at the same time - why would you want a product that you need to spend ages blending out thus ending up with a very small amount on the face anyways. I use the MAC 109 brush to apply this but I have also used an angled contour brush which works just as well.
The packaging is a huge thing that annoys me about the Hoola bronzer. I have the older version which doesn't come with the mirror or the flip top. In my recollection, it has opened up once or twice thus making the shattered pieces spill, speaking of, I don't even remember how that happened since I am not a clumsy person with my makeup so I think maybe whilst I was travelling it may have just shattered due to impact or so.. I would like to get through it as quickly as possible just so I can rebuy it with the improved packaging, haha!
The texture is nice and so is the pigmentation. I think it lasts quite a long time especially when used with a makeup setting spray such as the Urban Decay all-nighter one but obviously by the end of the day, your makeup isn't going to look as fresh as it did when you just applied it. I don't feel the need to reapply it though, personally.

I had high hopes for this matte bronzer with it's cute Benefit signature packaging. I tend to prefer matte bronzers for a more natural look and a appreciate the fact that this bronzer does not have any orange hues. Still this doesn't do it for me, it just doesn't go on as smoothly as I'd like it too. Even with my otherwise so failsafe ultra-soft bronzing brush and a very light hand I tend to get a few blotches here and there. I should point out that I am very fair and if you are more tanned you might not experience this as much. Conclusion: Color is good and matte but application a bit tricky. Still looking for that perfect all year round tan.

I love this bronzer! I have been using it for years now. My mum started buying me it and I was devastated when I saw pan so I had to buy another one! I use it every single day now and I really like it on. I bought my self one for Christmas 2012 and it is still going to this day, although the pan size is about a cm big, so I will be purchasing a new one soon! Defiantly recommend it for every skin tone!

ITS SO FREAKING EXPENSIVE!! But for someone who doesn't contour with it or use everyday, it is alright because it will last FOREVER!!
I tried bronzers from the drugstore, and even too faced, all looking too orange or too muddy. I have NW20 skin in the summer and I just need something to give me a little life over my foundation and around my light blushes I use.
This is perfect for that. I use a sheer finish kabuki by Eco Tools and just lightly dust it around my face. This gives me a lightly tanned look and with a light contour a slightly thinner look.
I love it, and might purchase again when I run out. But the price is just rediculous.

I can't say enough good things about this bronzer. Most bronzers end up looking muddy on me but this bronzer is a perfect matte color. It's very creamy and a little does go a long way. It's perfect for contouring everyday and can be built up for more dramatic looks. I can't live without this. I'm on my 3rd one! It looks great on most skin tones and I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

For me, I can't go one day without putting on bronzer. I've tried every product (high end and drugstore) and this is BY FAR THE BEST bronzer I've used! It looks so natural, and I love that it doesn't shimmer or make you look orange. It's the perfect bronzer for contouring, which I do every single day! I apply it with my MAC 129 brush and it never fails to make me look ten times better! The price is very fair, because you do get a lot of product. The packaging is really nice too, the magnetic case makes it easier for travel and is very compact.
This my everyday, HG bronzer! I LOVE IT!

This is a beautiful bronzer. This doesn't make me look orange or sick in any way. I use this to contour my cheeks and to add a healthy glow to my skin. For reference I am an NC20 in Mac foundations. This bronzer is a lovely medium, yellow toned brown which looks great on any skin tone. Before using this, I tried out Laguna by NARS and it was wayyyyy too dark and made me look like I stepped out if the 1980s! This bronzer is soft and subtle enough for everyday use. I totally recommend

I LOVE this product. It is great for the summer and provides a bronzed look. I can't tell you how many compliments I get when I wear this. I have pretty pale skin in the winter, and in the summer I'm medium toned. This bronzer did not make me look orange in any way, it actually makes me look like I have a natural tan. The only downside to this is the price. I bought it at Sephora for $28, which is a little pricy for me but worth every penny! If you are thinking about buying this product, buy it. You won't regret it! It comes with a square little brush, but I found it easier to just use my own. It is super easy to apply and fits in my handbag! I strongly recommend this product to everyone!

In 2001, after successfully discharging its founding mission, JET reviewed its role and shifted focus from fund disbursement to managing education and development projects. Similarly, in 2009, JET redefined its role amongst the new challenges and role players in education and revised its vision and mission accordingly. 03 Mission We offer educational research and knowledge-based interventions that are innovative, cost effective and sustainable to our clients who support disadvantaged young South Africans through education development initiatives. Values • Professional and knowledge-based • Innovative and courageous • Independent but accountable • Effective and measurable • Respectful and respected JET's strategic focus for the coming years is to define and implement education development and research projects that contribute to systemic improvement of educational outcomes in South Africa.

We can only achieve this purpose in partnership with government and non-governmental interest groups, particularly business, foundations and providers of funds for the development of our country. – Jeremy Ractliffe, Chairman of the Board, JET Education Services Strategic objectives In the next five years, JET will – • Demonstrate replicable, systemic education change models that can be used by government and its partners to improve the quality of public education in South Africa. • Make a meaningful contribution to the education development knowledge base and to finding solutions to the national educational challenges. • Run sustainable organisational operations that will increasingly strengthen JET's organisational capacity and relevance in the education sector. JET has committed itself to creating knowledge, disseminating it, and using it to gain a better understanding of the problems facing education, and to design solutions that are tried and tested in the field. We are dedicated to the principle of making recommendations that are evidence-based. Strategic focus 05 After 17 years of pursuing a mission of uplifting the education of disadvantaged people of South Africa through grants management, project management, fundholding, research and evaluation activities, JET will continue to make contributions to education development in the following focus areas: • School improvement • Education planning • Communities and youth development • Education research • Evaluations and assessments The real quest is not for knowledge, but The three focus areas of education planning, community mobilisation and youth development were adopted by JET for understanding… at the beginning of 2010 as being crucial to education quality – Gordon Johnson, improvement.

This is a huge mess to say the least, but I hope it will open up the eyes of all hockey leagues, including the minors. IMO, there should be more interaction b/w the Canadian & American hockey associations in order to address the issues that situations like this cause. Zoning, residency, the draft, imports, etc.... the 2 countries (and eventually European countries) need to be in sync in order to come up with a solution to avoid future fiascos. With the globalization of hockey these changes should have been started eons ago!!
The outcome I'd like to see (although it'll never happen!!) is the CHL granting the Chiefs a first-round Import Draft pick next year in exchange for Lewis and the mess the league rules have created!! The 3 CHL leagues participate in the same Import Draft, so why not provide some plausible compensation to Spokane.
If there should be any compensation to Spokane, I would agree with you about the 1st. pick in the import draft, since Spokane will probably lose Grabner into the Vancouver system after this year, but that would definatly not be my first choice for a solution to this problem.
Shouldn't some consideration be given to the Chiefs since they acted first in trying to secure Lewis's rights, while following established WHL rules. While it appears Owen Sound came in after the fact to use established OHL rules??

Cultural pundits have blamed both Mad Men and hipsters for modernizing sexism.

1941, "one who is hip;" from hip (adj.) + -ster. Meaning "low-rise" in reference to pants or skirt is from 1962; so called because they ride on the hips rather than the waist (cf. hiphuggers). Related: Hipsters.

CENTRAL FALLS ŌĆö Cory Garabedian had exciting plans for his return to college this fall, that after years as a military police officer in the U.S. Army.
Back in September, he had talked with Kashif Montgomery, a dear childhood friend and teammate at Central Falls High School in 2005-06. Montgomery, fresh off playing a season of football at Virginia University of Lynchburg, told him he missed the gridiron ŌĆ£something fierce,ŌĆØ and reignited in him the desire to play football again.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Granted, itŌĆÖs only April, but when a player increases his batting average by 170 points in less than two weeks, curious minds want to know why.
Is the player seeing the ball better? Or is the spike the result of some sort of mechanical adjustment, such as closing the stance or shortening the stride? Are all those extra sessions in the batting cage finally paying off?
In the case of Jose Iglesias, the recent rise in his offensive production can be traced to the adjustments the shortstop prospect looked to make before the first pitch of the 2012 season was even thrown.
In a span of seven days, Michael Bowden went from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs.
AllŌĆÖs well that ends well, it seems, as the ex-Red Sox relief pitcher now gets a chance to start anew with his hometown team, the Chicago Cubs. Perhaps just as important, the 25-year-old now has a legit shot to find a niche on a big-league roster ŌĆō something that proved quite elusive during his seven-year tenure with Boston.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö As soon as senior Zack Viveiros grounded out to third to end the top of the sixth inning, Tolman High skipper Theo Murray huddled his troops in front of their first-base dugout early Friday afternoon and implored them to exhibit outstanding defense.
ŌĆ£This is it,ŌĆØ he told them, referring to the TigersŌĆÖ 2-1 cushion. ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖve got 9-1-2 (the ninth, first and second batters) coming up! WeŌĆÖve got to get out of this inning!ŌĆØ
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö On paper, there appears a surefire remedy to put struggling reliever Mark Melancon ŌĆō viewed as one the key moves Ben Cherington made during his first offseason as BostonŌĆÖs general manager ŌĆō back together.
Fans will undoubtedly cringe when they hold MelanconŌĆÖs cover-your-eyes 49.50 ERA up to the light, knowing full well the 27-year-oldŌĆÖs inability to get anyone out played a huge part in the big-league club demoting the struggling pitcher to Pawtucket. Yet what gets lost in shuffle is that Melancon was not pitching on a regular basis.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö This game went from a pitchersŌĆÖ duel to another lopsided Tolman victory in a hurry.
Deadlocked at 1-1 after 4┬Į innings of a tough Division II crossover duel with Pilgrim, the Tigers scratched out three runs in the home half of the fifth inning before erupting for six more in the sixth and ending up with a 10-3 triumph at Slater Park that kept them unbeaten.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö Late last week, St. Raphael Academy head coach Tom ŌĆ£SaarŌĆØ Sorrentine explained to his senior ace, Nick Cesino, that he would draw the start when the Saints took on host Mount St. Charles on Wednesday morning.
He also told the righthander that the Mounties' infield contained a rather tall mound, and suggested he get to know it better over the weekend.
Cesino followed his mentor's order and threw some pitches from the foreign rubber on Sunday, and it became rather obvious as the innings passed he had become rather familiar with it.
CUMBERLAND ŌĆö Nick Zammarelli spent all game looking for his pitch ŌĆō the one he could drive.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆö Tolman High head coach Theo Murray wasnŌĆÖt thrilled with the result, but just had to praise his troops for their ability and want to battle back.
Trailing 6-0, the Tigers tallied two runs each in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings to knot it, but the Knights scored an unearned run in the back half of the eighth to clinch a wild 7-6 triumph at Joe Williams Field early Tuesday afternoon.
Dave Constantino has been competing in marathons for a decade, and when it came down to recalling the hottest ones he has run, the Cumberland resident didnŌĆÖt hesitate to bring up the 26.2-mile adventure he encountered on Monday at the Boston Marathon.
ŌĆ£That was probably the hottest marathon I have ever done out of the 10 years I have been competing,ŌĆØ Constantino said on Tuesday morning while he was ŌĆ£recuperatingŌĆØ at Scarborough Beach. ŌĆ£That was unbelievable. It was a tough one. It was a tough one for everybody.ŌĆØ
BOSTON ŌĆö Hilary Dionne, a former cross-country and track & field standout from Cumberland High School, finished 15th among women at the Boston Marathon Monday, crossing the finish line in 2:51.56. Her time was third-best among American winners. Dionne, who now works in Boston, graduated from Cumberland in 2003.
The 26-year-old Dionne averaged six minutes, 19 seconds during the first 6.2 miles of the race before shaving off five seconds over the next three-plus miles of the grueling 26.2-mile test of endurance and stamina. She ended up placing 256th overall and 11th in her age group (18-39).
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Minutes after Cumberland HighŌĆÖs respectable but not outstanding 5-3 triumph over St. Raphael Academy on Monday afternoon, ClippersŌĆÖ skipper Paul Murphy reacted to the pure facts ŌĆō that the last four hitters in his lineup had assembled a collective 4-for-11 outing, good for a .364 average, four RBI and a run scored.
Seeking clarification as to which New York YankeesŌĆÖ minor-league port of call Tim Norton would dock at this season, we revved up the search feature on MiLB.comŌĆÖs home page, fingers crossed that a simple mouse click would yield the desired answer.
Instead, we were left with more questions with a side order of curiosity.
LINCOLN ŌĆö This was an unlucky Friday the 13th in more ways than one.
Only one of the half dozen local fighters on Classic Entertainment & SportsŌĆÖ ŌĆ£Never SurrenderŌĆØ card at the Twin River Event Center -- Keith Jeffrey from Tri-Force MMA in Pawtucket -- was able to produce a victory in a show that saw seven of the nightŌĆÖs 10 fights won by Massachusetts fighters.
Maria Chevalier loves to run. SheŌĆÖs been doing it for nearly two-thirds of her life, starting with her years as a cross country and track standout in the early ŌĆÖ90s at Clear Creek High School in Idaho Springs, Col., and sheŌĆÖs taken part in everything from a simple 5K to a grueling 50-mile trail run.
But when it comes to the one race she enjoys running the most, the nine-year Cumberland resident wonŌĆÖt hesitate to give you an answer.
LINCOLN ŌĆö When fans last saw Todd Chattelle at the Twin River Event Center, it was last Nov. 18 and the Pawtucket native was being triumphantly carried from the octagon to the locker rooms on the shoulders of a few of his friends.
Chattelle has just recorded the biggest triumph of his 5┬Į-year career with his first-ever submission on an unexpected guillotine chokeout of Brett Oteri of Dedham, Mass. 3:18 into their fight for the inaugural CES Mixed Martial Arts middleweight championship.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö On Tuesday, host Cumberland High pounded out 17 hits, including nine for extra bases, en route to a 14-0 ŌĆ£mercy ruleŌĆØ pasting of Smithfield High.
Skipper Paul MurphyŌĆÖs crew didnŌĆÖt supply him and assistant Dale OŌĆÖDell with the same kind of offensive barrage 48 hours later at Mount St. Charles, but it did register eight hits to post a second consecutive ŌĆ£mercy ruleŌĆØ triumph over the Mounties, this time an 11-0 verdict on Thursday.
CUMBERLAND ŌĆö The softball seasons have passed and the names have come and gone, but one thing you could always count on year after year any time Lincoln and Cumberland played each other was a spirited, competitive duel -- a showdown that was usually going to be decided by one or two runs.
ThatŌĆÖs what the small gathering of fans that braved the chilly weather at Wednesday afternoonŌĆÖs Division I-North affair at Tucker Field expected from the two unbeaten rivals, but what they got was a shocking surprise.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö It's hard to win when you make four errors.
Just ask Shea High head coach Dino Campopiano, whose club's mistake-prone ways allowed Wheeler School to escape Max Read Field with a 5-1 Division II-Central victory on Wednesday afternoon.
Still, fair is fair. John Snider, the Warriors' senior righty from Cumberland, proved to be stellar on the hill, yielding only five hits and three walks while fanning a whopping dozen (though he did toss a trio of wild pitches). He also helped himself with the bat, going 2-for-3 with a triple and two runs scored.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Tuesday morning saw a small group of PawSox players huddle around the clubhouse television as a contrite Ozzie Guillen attempted to move past the uproar he caused over supportive remarks the Miami Marlins manager made in reference to Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
Among those who sat and watched Guillen with great interest were Jose Iglesias and Luis Exposito. In fact, the pair stood side-by-side for roughly 10 minutes before Iglesias plopped himself down into a leather chair, his eyes clearly fixated on what Guillen was saying.

The Best of Jackson Hole — On and Off the Mountain
Consistently named one of the best ski resorts in the country, Jackson Hole Resort in Jackson, Wyoming, is recognized not only for the annual snowfall (500 inches plus) and the extreme terrain on the mountain, but also for the intensity of its après ski scene. For all of the attractions on the mountain, though, there are plenty of attractions for those who want to skip the slopes and explore all that Jackson has to offer.

How to Spend Three Days in Whitehorse, Canada
When I first arrived in Whitehorse, the capital of Canada's northern Yukon Territory, I expected to find a rough-edged old mining town that had seen better days. But today's small city has moved well beyond the cliché of the bearded old prospector squatting over a gold pan and then spending his winnings at the local saloon.

Hiking on Matanuska Glacier in Alaska
The glacier is about a two hour drive from Anchorage, though you have to bake in extra time to stop at the viewpoint. On the day I made the trip, the sky was low and gray, but there was a window of blue visible just above the place where the glacier poured, in slow motion, into the river. There's no telling what the weather will do in Alaska. You pack for the worst and hope for the best, and you go.

A View of the Summit on a Denali National Park Flightseeing Tour
Locals call Denali – or McKinley, you decide – The Mountain. When you're lucky enough to see it you understand why. Though it's flanked by several other great peaks, Denali towers above them all at 20,320 feet. My friend — a former resident of the mountain town where most expeditions to Denali start — envied my success in seeing the summit. Though that success had little do with me and everything to do with weather and an available seat on Talkeetna Air Taxi's flight-seeing and glacier landing tour.

Longest winning streaks of all time
The streak, which spanned from March 9 to April 10 in 1993, is the longest winning streak in NHL history. Twice, the Penguins won in overtime (4-3 vs. Los Angeles on March 11 and 4-3 vs. Montreal on April 7) and Pittsburgh won a pair by scoring 10 goals (10-2 vs. Hartford on April 1 and 10-4 vs. New York Rangers on April 9).

So you are contending that squash should be considered more than soccer? The most played sport in the world? Awesome. And am glad that all other fans "thing" that it's a joke. I am not a soccer player, but would baseball have been played in a blizzard like the US national team did last weekend?
All of these streaks are amazing in their own right. Well done to all of them.

This wasn't a carefully researched list, interesting as it may be. Heather McKay, for example, was unbeaten in professional women's squash from 1962 until her retirement in 1981, during which time she won 16 consecutive British championships (the effective World Championships, though not named as such). That's a much, much more impressive record than Jahangir Khan's. And the longest winning streak in sporting history is usually regarded as belonging to the New York Yacht Club, which successfully defended the America's Cup against all challengers from 1857 to 1983.

As players from across Australia become increasingly lured by the financial incentives of plying their trade overseas, Australian Rugby can as a whole breathe a sigh of relief that Tevita Kuridrani has re-signed with the Aquis Brumbies.
Australian rugby teams have always produced light-footed outside backs, but having the ammunition and nuts and bolts up front hasn't necessarily been as easy to find.
The John I Dent Cup's 77th season gets underway this weekend with seven premier clubs all eyeing to be the one who lifts the Cup on Saturday 8 August.
Wallabies flanker David Pocock will return via the Aquis Brumbies bench this Sunday when the team travels to Sydney to take on the Waratahs.
Aquis Brumbies and Wallabies outside centre Tevita Kuridrani will remain in Canberra and Australian rugby for the next two years having re-signing on Tuesday morning.
A bonus point and a clean sheet on the road keeps the Aquis Brumbies on top of the table after putting the Reds away 29-0 in Brisbane on Saturday.
The Aquis Brumbies will have the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the Australian conference when they take on the Reds away in Brisbane on Saturday night.
Aquis Brumbies coach and world champion fly-half, Stephen Larkham will be lacing the boots for the Australian Defence Force Old Boys to take on the Richard Harry led Silver Foxes (the name for the ex-Wallaby team) in a charity rugby match later this month.
The Aquis Brumbies remain unchanged from the side which beat the West Australians last Friday night.
Sam Carter, Josh Mann-Rea and Scott Fardy have all recommitted to ACT rugby for two more seasons, with the Aquis Brumbies making the announcement on Tuesday.

The blocking or thwarting of an impulse, purpose, or action.

Dedicating oneself to the side of limb salvage in the fight against diabetic foot disease is a demanding and personally challenging enterprise. In the face of infection, it often seems as though all variables are against the surgeon and the patient as they both struggle against the possibilities of proximal amputation and limb loss. In fact, it often appears as though the only constant is the unpredictability of the disease progression. However, expert knowledge in lower extremity anatomy is one of the most valuable tools that one can have in this fi ... continue reading

However, for the purpose of this discussion, nonunion has both clinical and radiographic definitions.

Would you believe that many centuries ago, it was a tradition in India that when a person used to visit someone, the host used to wash the feet of the guest to welcome him or her? Washing the feet of the guest was a gesture to express affection, respect and thankfulness for taking the pains of walking all the way. Many centuries ago, there were two childhood friends called Sudama and Krishna. They used to study together in Gurukul (an Indian village school). As time passed, they grew up and settled in different places and could not meet for many yea ... continue reading

During the past five years, there has been a large influx of non-traditional bone screws on the orthopedic market for small bone fixation of the foot. Some of these designs have been effective at providing long-term surgical fracture stability with reduced osteotomy fixation morbidity. Additionally, these bone screw designs have found their way into a variety of applications in hindfoot surgery with headless screws, locking plate screws and cannulated self-tapping screws. When trying to assess the technology available in small fragment fixation, it ... continue reading

Foot orthoses (FOs) have been a standard treatment in podiatric clinics for decades. Until a decade ago, however, it was rare for American podiatrists to dispense ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) of any kind. In 1996, the Richie Brace was introduced and it was the first ankle brace to incorporate a custom functional foot orthosis (FFO). Two years later, the Arizona Brace, the first gauntlet AFO to incorporate a polypropylene shell, arrived on the market and was soon widely used within the podiatric profession. ... continue reading
