Junior Klara Vyskocilova recorded her ninth singles win of the year with her victory at the top spot today.
Feb. 6, 2013
New Orleans - The 59th ranked Tulane women's team came up short in their upset bid over No. 46 LSU as the Green Wave and Tigers battled inclement weather before moving indoors to the Hilton River Center indoor courts where LSU prevailed 4-2 six and a half hours after the match began at 3:30 p.m. outdoors at the City Park Pepsi Center.
With the loss, Tulane drops to 2-2 in the year, while LSU improved to 4-0. The two state and regional rivals began the afternoon with doubles, but inclement weather in the New Orleans area in the midst of doubles forced the match indoors downtown.
"This was a great match today and one that literally came down to a handful of points," Tulane head coach Terri Sisk said. "Unfortunately for us, the points didn't work out in our favor. Credit LSU. They played hard and kept taking chances. I am proud of the fight we showed today even when things started going south. I've said it before and I will say it again, the only thing keeping us from really reaching that next level is belief that we can beat teams that on paper we aren't supposed to beat. We are an incredibly talented team that fights but when our back is in a corner we have to know we can do it. When that happens for us, we are quite a dangerous program."
LSU's No. 3 duo of Caroline Hudson and Kaitlin Burns downed TU's tandem of seniors Caroline Magnusson and Hila Elster, 8-4, but the Wave rebounded with a win at the No. 2 spot with junior Jenny Hois and senior Emma Levy's, 8-5, win over LSU's Ebie Wilson and Keri Frankenberger.
The battle for the all-important doubles point came down to the top spot, where the Tiger tandem of Ariel Morton and Mary Jeremiah outlasted TU's team of junior Klara Vyskocilova and freshman Ipek Birol, 8-7.
As the teams moved into singles action and LSU holding on to a 1-0 advantage, No. 118 Vyskocilova knotted the affair with her, 6-1, 7-6 (3), victory over Jeremiah at the top spot. However, the Tigers reeled off three wins to secure the win. LSU rolled with wins at the No. 2-4 positions, while Magnusson kept the Wave close with her win victory over Caroline Hudson, 6-0, 6-2, at No. 5 but it wasn't enough.
The Green Wave returns to action on Saturday, Feb. 9 against its second straight Southeastern Conference opponent, Kentucky, at 9 a.m. at the City Park Pepsi Center.
No. 1 Ariel Morton/Mary Jeremiah (LSU) def. def. Klara Vyskocilova/Ipek Birol (TLN), 8-7 (4)
No. 2 Jenny Hois/Emma Levy (TLN) def. Ebie Wilson/Keri Frankenberger (LSU), 8-5

There's something new happening here in Denver. There's a vibrant vegan social scene forming. This new social platform is being invigorated by facebook and twitter. Plants & Animals Denver can certainly be credited with creating much of the momentum, with their monthly Chomp events, where they serve all vegan dinners to hungry attendees. And now there's another organization in town to partner with them called Vegan Coloradical. Vegan Coloradical's website is dedicated to making sure vegans eat well and live joyfully in Colorado. They have posted useful lists of vegan friendly restaurants, businesses, and volunteer opportunities. Their website is a great resource for any vegan who visits Colorado, or who calls this state home. Lucky for us, they are also in the business of event planning.
The two non-profits teamed up tonight to put on the first ever Vegan Drinks Denver. It was held at Denver Beer Co., which proved to be a terrific venue. Because the bar was extremely busy, the owner set aside the brewing room for the event. This made the experience a bit more intimate. There was a great showing, and people seemed to have a fantastic time. Some attendees didn't know anyone before going, and walked away with new connections. Others met up with old friends. The best part about the evening was that mingling was a must, as there were no chairs, and only one small standing table. People milled about, socializing with many different individuals or groups.
It seems this vegan social explosion is just beginning. Plants & Animals Denver is at it again this weekend. Check out the Neat Market on Sunday, January 15th to rub elbows with like-minded folks. It'll be a fun-filled craft fair and mini-market, featuring 100% vegan items.
Not vegan, but interested in the idea of veganism? You're still welcome to attend any of these events. It's about spreading the love, not closing doors. Check out some upcoming events by clicking here.

Vanessa Lachey helped welcome the Crocs' flagship store to New York City on Thursday. Shoppers, media and fans of the Lachey's gathered on the morning of May 15 for the grand opening celebration of Crocs 34th Street and witness the actress cut the commemorative ribbon.
It might not have been the "Miracle on 34th Street" that involved Santa, but prizes and surprises were involved (see below for Crocs giveaways.) The media was delighted to see a change over from the traditional Crocs popular with young children, to new designs and a more fashionable shoe for adults with the established Crocs comfort. Vanessa Lachey, fresh off her recent Parents' spread, posed on the red carpet with a trendy pair of black and cream-colored Crocs ballet flats, visible in the slideshow.
Following her ceremonial duties, the gorgeous and gracious Vanessa Lachey discussed her Crocs with the Long Island Women's Style Examiner. The 33-year-old actress, model, television host and mom of 17-month-old Camden confessed she wanted a pair of Crocs because her, "son loves them. They make shoes for women, so I should try a pair myself." When asked what it was about the shoes that she liked best, her answer was that of any mother of a toddler, how easy the footwear is.
They're easy. Being a mom, a wife, a girlfriend and working and all of the aspects of my life, anywhere I can find easy, I'm all about it. These are easy for my family, so why not for me!
And Vanessa Lachey's "why not for me" declaration was the consensus of all that attended the Crocs 34th Street Grand Opening. While the traditional clog was rampant in an assortment of colors, some with the "I Love NY" logos and others that have become a favorite for kids featuring the "Star Wars" insignia, the versatility of the footwear's new line excited the crowd. Crocs' new designs for men and women took hold of all the latest fashion trends and blended style with the same comfort the shoe brand is renowned for. Feet feel airy in wedges, sandals, loafers and ballet flats with a selection of over 300 pairs to choose from.
The festivities didn't culminate with the ribbon and Crocs cake cutting ceremony. As with any grand opening celebration, Crocs was giving away fabulous prizes all day to honor the street that houses its newest location. There is still time to cash in on fun New York City experiences that include a helicopter ride around the Big Apple, tickets to a Yankees' game with a backstage tour, dinner packages, spa days and more. A winner is selected every 34 minutes past the hour. The Crocs extravaganza on 34th Street ends tonight at 9:34. Before Vanessa left the Crocs' flagship store in New York, she crafted a Crocs backpack at the Jibbitz bar for son Camden, and purchased shoes for the baby and husband Nick Lachey.

text: Feb 27, 2014 15:45 'Ni No Kuni' dazzles both new, old gamers 'Ni No Kuni' dazzles both new, old gamers Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Reviewer's Rating: ★★★1/2 Langdon Herrick| Special to theadvocate.com Jan. 30, 2013; 5:28 p.m. Comments Do you enjoy the animated films of venerated Studio Ghibli? Films like "Kiki's Delivery Service," "Princess Mononoke" and "Spirited Away?" If so, then I have two nuggets of good news for you. One, your sense of childlike wonder is alive and well, and two, Ghibli has collaborated with the game studio Level-5 to craft a jaw-droppingly beautiful game that will appeal to younger gamers and those who are looking to rekindle the feelings they had when they first started gaming years ago. One of the best things about "Ni No Kuni" is that its protagonist, Oliver, is not an overdressed and emotionally underdeveloped teenager or a silent protagonist, the likes of which seem to dominate most Japanese RPGs, or role-playing games. Oliver lives in Motorville, USA, with his mom and tends to say things like "neato" and "jeepers creepers." Lots of fantasy stories hinge on the idea that the hero's pure heart can save the world, but "Ni No Kuni's" Oliver is one of the few that seems to make such an idea plausible. Oliver is just a good-hearted boy who is thrust into a fantastical situation when a doll given to him by his mother comes to life and reveals that there's a whole other world living parallel to Oliver's own. Oliver travels with the loud-but-lovable fairy Drippy (whose slang and thick Welsh accent make him one of the most likable sidekicks in video game history) and goes on a quest to learn enough powerful magic to stop the evil wizard Shadar and save the other world. It's typical RPG fare, but the story is made interesting by the fact that every person he meets in the magical other world has a counterpart in the real world, and his quest requires hopping back and forth to solve problems from both ends. Brave though Oliver may be, he's still just a little kid with a wand and a few spells. Fortunately, he can recruit the pint-sized beasties he encounters on his journey to fight for him. If that sounds a little like "Pokemon," well, that's because it is. Oliver and his comrades can each have one of these critters at a time fight for them, and mixing and matching the combinations, as well as knowing when to cast a spell or two, makes up the bulk of the combat. It's fun enough, but it also feels derivative and is probably the weakest aspect of "Ni No Kuni." On the other hand, the simplicity and traditional feel of the combat meshes well with the game's main goal, which is to bathe the player in waves of old-school RPG nostalgia. One look at the anime-like graphics, charmingly simple characters and the game's lush locales makes the Studio Ghibli influence clear. Few games are as whimsical, as full of wonder and as downright pleasant as this one. Young children whose attention can't be held by some of the grimmer and more technical RPGs out there, and fans of Ghibli who don't normally play video games will absolutely love this game. There's even an easy mode for people who just want to enjoy the world and the story. While the narrative itself isn't particularly groundbreaking, the characters are vivid and interesting, like a fat tomcat who is a king in the magical world and likes to be referred to as "Your Meowjesty." "Ni No Kuni" is funny in the way that a good Disney movie is funny, and it lends the game a lighthearted tone that keeps it from ever feeling like a gloom-and-doom save-the-world quest. The game sounds almost as good as it looks, with quality voice actors and a score from beloved Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi, who created the soundtracks for the Studio Ghibli films. All in all, it hammers home the fact that, while the combat in "Ni No Kuni" is a little dusty, the presentation is phenomenal. Those looking for an adventure that their kids will love or that will make them feel like a kid again should step into the magical world of "Ni No Kuni." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

This is the University of Wyoming...
A Great University in the Rockies and Wonderful College Environment
If you are looking for a wonderful college environment, look no further than the University of Wyoming. From its' beautiful mountain setting in Laramie, to its wide range of academic offerings and its nationally-respected athletics programs, UW offers a memorable college experience to its students.
UW provides an atmosphere that allows you to achieve both your academic and athletic goals.
The University opened Sept. 6, 1887, with one building, five professors, two tutors and 42 students. Programs of study included philosophy, arts, literature and science. We've come a long way since then.
Today, UW offers approximately 180 undergraduate, graduate and professional degree programs through the colleges of Agriculture, Arts and Sciences, Business, Education, Engineering, Health Sciences and Law, as well as through the Graduate School and the Outreach School, including the University of Wyoming/Casper College Center. This wide range of choices allows each student to explore many options to find his or her career niche. Another way we contribute to the success of our students is by offering a large number of courses each semester, making it possible for most to graduate in four years.
Our comfortable size and hands-on approach give students ample access to their professors who have as their primary responsibility the education of undergraduate students. Unlike faculty at most other major research universities, our faculty teach more than 90 percent of all credit hours. In fact, many of our most accomplished professors teach first-year courses -- beginning the mentoring process with students from the first day of class. Our students have a chance to work with world-class faculty on cutting-edge projects that benefit people across Wyoming and around the world -- projects like creating super-strong artificial spider silk or studying stressors that contribute to cardiovascular disease.
At UW, we encourage students to develop their full potential by becoming involved as active members of the university, local community and the world. Opportunities for involvement in some 200 recognized student organizations include student government, publications, the speech and debate team and religious and cultural organizations. Many of our students also take advantage of exceptional international opportunities to become part of the world community through Study Abroad and International Programs. With so many choices, our students enjoy the benefits of meeting new people, making good friends, developing leadership skills and gaining invaluable life experiences.
UW offers a true college-town atmosphere. Laramie has a population of approximately 30,000 with a student enrollment of 13,207. The Laramie campus is composed of 80 major buildings on 785 beautifully landscaped acres. There is a pleasant mix of modern and traditional structures, many built of native Wyoming sandstone quarried northeast of Laramie. At the heart of the campus is the Wyoming Union, our "living room." Fresh from a new multi-million dollar renovation, the union is where students can kick back between classes, have a sandwich, meet friends, check out an art exhibit or study.
National publications continue to rank Wyoming as one of the nation's best. Barron's Best Buys in College Education ranked UW among the top four-year United States Institutions in its fifth edition. The Princeton Review ranked Wyoming as one of 81 "Best Value Colleges" for 2006. UW is the perfect place for learning in a friendly yet achievement-oriented environment.
As the state's sole four-year educational institution, the university receives strong support from the state and its residents. There is a dedication to making UW the best it can be in terms of its facilities, programs, people and aesthetics. Capital improvements on campus are a high priority, reflecting a commitment to maintaining UW's world-class stature.
Spend some time here and you'll agree that much of UW's character is shaped by this great "home on the range". Laramie, the location of the main campus, is a safe, friendly community of 30,000 people. Nestled between the Laramie and Snowy Range mountains in southeastern Wyoming, it's a beautiful, unspoiled place with a special lifestyle.
It's a place where the sun shines 320 days each year. It's hard to be gloomy here. When you view the world from 7,200 feet, you see things more clearly.
Great people, great surroundings and a great education ... it's all here at the University of Wyoming.

User reviews on Patience (After Sebald)
This was an amazing film and i highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. I am a huge fan of W.G. Sebald and this film was a beautiful creation for him. This film will not appeal to a large audience but special few will admire it and enjoy it immensely. This film is full of ideas and it will make you think and wonder and I love when films do that. The film is very well made and executed and it was a true pleasure to watch it. Overall, I had a great time watching this film and I think it is worth seeing in the theaters.

Oct. 10, 2012
TUCSON, Ariz. – Arizona head coach Eric Hansen has been selected to lead the U.S. men's swim team at the 2012 Short Course World Championships in Istanbul, Turkey. The event will take place December 12-15.
"I'm honored by the opportunity and I look forward to being a part of such a great team," Hansen said. "It's exciting and I think anytime you can lead a U.S. team, it's an honor but it's also a responsibility and I embrace both."
His appointment as head coach of the 2012 Short Course World Championship team adds to a long list of national and international honors for Hansen. Heavily involved in the U.S. National Team program, Hansen served as the head coach for the American team at the 2011 World University Games in Shenzhen, China. Other national team coaching experience on Hansen's resume includes serving as a head coach in 2006 for the World Short Course Championships in Shanghai, China, men's assistant for the Pan Pacific Championships in Victoria, British Columbia, the 2002 U.S. Head Coach at the Short Course Worlds in Moscow, Russia and head coach for the Pan American Games team in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Hansen is not the only one with Arizona ties representing the squad as sophomore Kevin Cordes, the reigning NCAA champion in the 100 breast and 200 medley relay, will swim for Hansen on the squad. In addition, former Olympian and Arizona alum Clark Burckle and his fellow teammate on Tucson Ford Dealer Aquatics, Matt Grevers, joins him on the team. Grevers is a six-time Olympic medalist.
Meanwhile, on the women's side, senior Ellyn Baumgardner and freshman Bonnie Brandon will participate in the event for the U.S. Women's team. The women's team will be led by Chuck Batchelor of the Bluefish Swim Club.
The South African men's team will be well represented by Wildcats with alum Darian Townsend and incoming freshman Michael Meyer. Meyer is set to enroll at the U of A at the end of the semester. Townsend swam for the South African squad in the 2012 Olympics.
"It will be a lot of fun to watch the student-athletes from our program compete," Hansen added. "I really like this meet and it's something that the U.S. is known for. We are definitely a great short course nation and it will be fun to take the momentum we gained from London and get back on the world stage again."
Overall, 17 former Olympians will be on the U.S. teams, nine on the men's side and eight on the women's team.
Hansen's assistant men's coaches will be Tony Batis from Palo Alto Stanford Aquatics (PASA), Josh White from Michigan, and Whitney Hite from the University of Wisconsin. Hite is a former assistant at Arizona.
On the women's side, Bruce Marchionda from Western Kentucky, Rachel Stratton-Mills from Asphalt Green, and Bill Rose from Mission Viejo have earned the honors.
The event in Istanbul will be the 11th FINA Short Course World Championships, an event which has been held every two years since the inaugural Championships in Palma de Mallorca, Spain in 1993. The event in Istanbul will take place at the Sinan Erdem Dome, which is a multi-purpose indoor arena that is located on the European side of Istanbul, Turkey.
The Wildcats had plenty of success in Hansen's first season at the helm of the program. The men's team earned a fourth place team finish at the NCAA Championship, while earning five individual national titles. The team of Adam Small, Mitchell Friedemann, Kevin Cordes and Giles Smith won the NCAA title in the 200 medley relay, while Austen Thompson (400 IM), Cordes (100 breast), Cory Chitwood (200 back), Ben Grado (platform diving) each earned NCAA Championships as well. His team garnered two American Records during the championship (Kevin Cordes in the 100 breast stroke and the 200 Medley Relay). Meanwhile, the women's team earned a fifth place showing at the NCAA Championships. In total, the Wildcats had 26 individuals earn All-American honors.
Hansen and the Wildcats will open their season on Friday, October 19 when they host Hawaii in a multi-day dual meet at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center.

Each year tens of thousands of American's train their hearts out and push through any obstacle for the chance to don our red, white and blue while competing at the Olympic Games. In just a few weeks the eyes of our world will be on London, England as 205 nations elite athletes compete. Currently 11 of our US Olympic team members headed to London are part of the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program. The WCAP describes these Olympians as the strongest contingent of athletes and coaches ever.
WCAP provides soldier-athletes the support and training needed to successfully compete in Olympic sports on the national and international levels, including the winter and summer Olympics, Pan American Games, world championships and Conseil International du Sport Militaire's Military World Games.Since the program inception in 1948, The World Class Athlete Program has sent over 600 soldiers to represent the United States at the summer and winter Olympics as both athletes and coaches. These athletes have collected more than 140 victory medals in various events. Soldier-athletes serve as ambassadors for the Army by promoting values and ability to the world while also acting as recruiters and assisting with Army retention goals. WCAP also features a Paralympic program for wounded warriors and expects to qualify at least one soldier for the London Paralympic Games. Sights are set on qualifying several more for the 2014 Paralympic Games in Sochi, Russia, and the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
WCAP has several Olympians competing in the Roman-Greco style wrestling as veterans. WCAP wrestling head coach Shon Lewis, a retired staff sergeant who has led the Army to 11 national team titles in Greco-Roman wrestling will lead three soldier athletes to London as the Assistant Coach for Team USA. The US team will include two-time Olympian Sgt. 1st Class Dremiel Byers and Two-time Olympian Sgt. Spenser Mango and will be joined by strong medal contender and first time Olympian Spc. Justin Lester.
Lewis is a former WCAP athlete as a 12-time armed forces champion and a 10-time national team member. He was named Greco-Roman Coach of the Year five times by USA Wrestling, the governing body for wrestling in the United States.
WCAP athletes will be participating in several other events as well. Four-time Olympian Sgt. 1st Class Daryl Szarenski, 44, of Saginaw, Mich., will compete in both the 50-meter free pistol and 10-meter air pistol. Two-time Olympian Sgt. 1st Class Keith Sanderson, 37, of San Antonio, will compete in the 25-meter rapid-fire pistol event. Two-time Olympian Staff Sgt. John Nunn, 34, of Evansville, Ind., already qualified for the 50-meter race walk and is contemplating an attempt to qualify in the 20-kilometer race walk on June 30. Spc. Dennis Bowsher, 29, of Dallas, will compete in modern pentathlon, a five-sport event that includes fencing, swimming, equestrian show jumping, cross country and laser pistol shooting all in the same day.
WCAP will also be sending a additional coaches including Four-time Olympian Maj. David Johnson, 48, of Hampton, Va., will coach Team USA's rifle shooters, Staff Sgt. Charles Leverette, 39, of Brent, Ala., will serve as Team USA's assistant boxing coach with Staff Sgt. Joe Guzman, 32, of Eloy, Ariz., a three-time armed forces champion, serving as the trainer and help work the corners for Team USA's boxers. Four-time Olympian Basheer Abdullah, a retired staff sergeant will serve as Team USA's head boxing coach in London. He also led the U.S. boxing team in the 2004 Athens Games and served s a technical advisor for Team USA at the Olympics in 2000 and 2008.
With this much experience and passion the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program will be a force to reckon with. There are several other WCAP soldiers vying for Olympic berths at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Track and Field Team trials.

It's looking like Manny Pacquiao will give young gun Tim Bradley a crack at it on June 9. But Pacman advisor Michael Koncz told me that foe and date is "not confirmed yet."
A screamingly unscientific poll tells me lots of fight fans seem more intrigued by this scrap than Mayweather-Cotto, since they think Bradley has a better shot at beating Manny than Cotto has beating Floyd.
The 28-year-old cali fighter Bradley is 28-0, but has just 12 KOs. He is a busy fighter, but slightly one dimensional. One imagines the Pacman (54-3-2; age 33) can get angles on him, confound him with the southpaw stance, and hand him his first loss. But maybe Manny has slipped, and Bradley will be the one to show the world. Tell us what you think.
Oh, YUP! Da Manny will definitely give the young dome blaster a crack upside dat noggin, and a few up in da torso.
The Dessert -- I mean Desert -- Storm is going to taste REALITY and HARD, HARD ACTUALITY of a real fighter. Okay! Da Manny has SLIPPED. Who doesn't SLIP. The longer you live, the more you lose all types of bodily jive.
But Da Manny has lost more than Tim Bradley will ever gain, IMHO! Expect for Da Manny to knock him da double fudge OUT in the early to mid rounds. Holla!
Easy fight for Manny Bradley throws wide *** punches and hits like a feather a absolute mismatch it won't go no more then 4 rounds..
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

I love too quilt and paint on fabrics. I started crafting when one of my daughters became interested in ceramics. I learned ceramics, became a certified teacher and had my own studio for about 6 years. Then I decided to start sewing again. ( I had sewn earlier with my first daughter and taught her and her friends to sew) I attended a quilting class at JoAnn Fabrics about 8 years ago, and have been hooked on quilting ever since.

Herbology: Magical and Mundane Plants
|On this page:
|Related information:
Herbology involves the study of plants as they relate to the Wizarding world. Some of the plants studied in Herbology classes are semi-sentient and are essentially magical creatures. These can be quite dangerous. Other plants are magical versions of what Muggles would consider to be normal, mundate plants. In some cases, plants which are well known to Muggles are studied by Herbologists for their hidden, magical attributes.
Some plants are cultivated specifically for use in potions. At Hogwarts, the Herbology professor grows these for the Potions Master, who then cuts, slices, dries, crushes, or otherwise prepares the roots, leaves, or other parts. Some plants are cultivated for use in Healing, and the Matron (Nurse) uses these in the Hospital Wing.
Witches and wizards can make a career of working with plants and herbs. Many great discoveries have been made over the centuries which have improved the lives of many, including bubotuber pus to cure acne and gillyweed to allow breathing underwater. However, everyone in the Wizarding world should have some level of understanding of magical plants, whether it is to properly tend a Wizard's garden or to understand which herbs to buy for basic day-to-day potion making.
Editor's note: Some of these plants exist in Muggle folklore but are not necessarily credited with the attributes attributed to them in the Wizarding world.

|wand wood
|potion ingredients
Herbs, Plants and Trees
Abyssinian shrivelfig
Second-year Herbology students work with these plants, learning to prune them (CS15). When peeled, shrivelfigs are used as an ingredient in Shrinking Solution (see).
"shrivel" = Eng. "become smaller"
This is a mundane plant with magical uses (PS8).
In magical lore, aconite combined with belladonna was applied as a magical ointment by witches to make themselves fly. Aconite is an extremely poisonous plant (hence its other name of wolfsbane). It is also called monkshood because the shape of the flowers somewhat resembles a monk's cowl.
Scott Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs informs us that a folk name for the highly poisonous Wolf's Bane is "Dumbledore's Delight". -- SVA
Ellis Peters' medieval mystery Monk's Hood is recommended as both a very good story in its own right and as featuring both the positive and dangerous aspects of this plant. In the story the herbalist Brother Cadfael used the plant as part of an oil used to massage aching joints, but if swallowed or absorbed directly through any break in the skin, the oil could be deadly. -- MLW
Eating the leaves of this shrub causes hysteria, the cure for which is a melancholy-inducing syrup from the Glumbumble (FB).
"Alihotsy" from Sikidy = "gain, lightness of being" (c.f. SDNY)
Famous (and infamous) Names in Herbology:
Broderick Bode
Elladora Ketteridge
Neville Longbottom
Beaumont Marjoribanks
Garrick Ollivander
Derwent Shimpling
Pomona Sprout
Uric the Oddball
Used to make brooms (QA9) and wands (Pm).
Ollivander writes much about wands made of ash. He states that "(t)he ash wand cleaves to its one true master and ought not to be passed on or gifted from the original owner, because it will lose power and skill." He also writes that ash wands have the reputation of being "stubborn", but that "(t)he ideal owner may be stubborn, and will certainly be courageous, but never crass or arrogant." Read more on Pottermore.
A wand wood (Pm).
According the Ollivander, an aspen wand is "usually outstanding" for charms magic. He states that "(t)he proper owner of the aspen wand is often an accomplished duellist, or destined to be so." Read more on Pottermore.
Asphodel in an ingredient in the Draught of Living Death (HBP9).
In Greek mythology, the asphodel plant was thought to be the favourite food of the dead. Greeks often planted asphodel around graveyards (The Lexicon p. 14).
A wand wood (Pm).
According the Ollivander, "(w)hen properly matched, the beech wand is capable of a subtlety and artistry rarely seen in any other wood." Read more on Pottermore.
This is a mundane plant with magical uses (DP2, JKR-W1). Essence of belladonna is part of the standard potions-making kit used by students (GF10).
In magical lore, aconite combined with belladonna was applied as a magical ointment by witches to make themselves fly.
"bella donna" = Italian "fair lady", "originating either from its usage as cosmetic for the face, or, more probably, from its usage to increase the pupil size in ladies" (Wikipedia).
Potion Ingredients:
Abyssinian shrivelfig
mistletoe berries
sopophorous bean
Valerian roots/sprigs
A wand wood (Pm). Ron "liberated" a blackthorn wand from a Snatcher who had tried to capture him (DH19).
According the Ollivander, a wand of this wood "has the reputation, in my view well-merited, of being best suited to a warrior." Read more on Pottermore.
black walnut
A wand wood (Pm).
According the Ollivander, a wand of this wood "seeks a master of good instincts and powerful insight. Black walnut is a very handsome wood, but not the easiest to master." Read more on Pottermore.
bouncing bulb
Repotted during Herbology class; one wriggled free from Harry's grasp and banged him in the face (GF18). Mentioned in the Rumours advert for the Toots, Shoots 'n' Roots radio program ("Bouncing bulbs losing height?") (JKR).
A bubotuber looks like a thick, black, giant slug (it even squirms slightly, although it sticks vertically out of the soil) with many large shiny swellings on it that are filled with a yellow-green pus that smells like petrol (GF13). As Professor Sprout taught her fourth-year students, the pus reacts oddly with human skin. Undiluted, it will raise horribly painful boils on contact (GF28), but properly diluted and processed can be used to cure acne (GF13). The pimple-curing properties were discovered by Sacharissa Tugwood (FW). (Also JKR W1).
bubo = (Gr. boubôn, "groin") (plural form: buboes) is a swelling of the lymph nodes. It is found in infections such as bubonic plague. It is similar in appearance to a huge blister, and usually appears under the armpit, in the groin or on the neck. Tuber = In anatomy, the term tubercle may describe a round lump or warty outgrowth found on bones or skin, or, in cases of tuberculosis, in the lungs (Wikipedia).
Hagrid maintains a cabbage patch for Hogwarts, presumably to supply the school kitchens. According to Hagrid, flesh-eating slugs have been known to get into them (CS4).
Cabbage, Chinese Chomping
Hermione studied a diagram of this when the fifth years were researching potion ingredients in the library for Snape (OP16).
A wand wood (Pm).
According the Ollivander, "Whenever I meet one who carries a cedar wand, I find strength of character and unusual loyalty." Read more on Pottermore.
A species of tree that qualifies as a "wand tree", in that its wood can be used in the making of wands (HBP7). The wand Neville's grandmother bought him to replace the wand destroyed during the battle of the Department of Mysteries is made of cherry wood with a core of unicorn hair (HBP7), a particularly powerful combination which would only be usable by a wizard of"exceptional self-control and strength of mind" (Pm).
Ollivander discusses this "very rare wand wood" and states that it creates a wand of "strange power" (Pm). Read more on Pottermore.
Famous Wandmakers:
Garrick Ollivander
Gervaise Ollivander
Gerbold Octavius Ollivander
Geraint Ollivander
Arturo Cephalopos
A wand wood (Pm).
According the Ollivander, "(t)he wand of chestnut is attracted to witches and wizards who are skilled tamers of magical beasts, those who possess great gifts in Herbology, and those who are natural fliers." Read more on Pottermore.
A wand wood (Pm).
According the Ollivander, "Cypress wands are associated with nobility." Read more on Pottermore.
The roots of the daisy are used in a shrinking solution (PA7; also JKR-W1).
An old wives' tale says that daisy roots, boiled in milk and fed to a farm animal, can stop the animal from growing too large.
Devil's Snare
Devil's Snare is composed of a mass of soft, springy tendrils and vines that possess some sense of touch. Devil's Snare uses its creepers and tendrils to ensnare anyone who touches it, binding their arms and legs and eventually choking them. The harder a person struggles against Devil's Snare, the more faster and more tightly it binds them; if they relax, it will not kill them as quickly. Devil's Snare prefers a dark, damp environment and shrinks away from fire, so a well-placed flame spell such as "bluebell flames" will drive it away from its victims (PS16). First year students at Hogwarts learn about Devil's Snare in Herbology classes. A cutting of Devil's Snare, passed off as a potted plant (Flitterbloom), was used to murder Broderick Bode in St. Mungo's. Devil's Snare is mentioned in the Rumours advert for the Toots, Shoots 'n' Roots radio program (JKR). Professor Sprout used Devil's Snare as a weapon against invading Death Eaters during the Battle of Hogwarts (DH30).
The Daily Prophet reported that the Devil's Snare "instantly" throttled Bode when he touched it (OP22, OP25); given what we know about Devil's Snare, is someone giving perjured testimony about the details of Bode's death? If there was a witness competent to testify to how Bode died, and if Devil's Snare typically takes as long to kill as it took in PS16 (longer, since this one was much smaller), then somebody's lying about the details of Bode's death.
In the film (PS/f), the Devil's Snare had somewhat different properties and was driven back by a bright sunlight spell. There are not bright sunlight spells in the Harry Potter universe, however, so this is one of many instances where the film is in error.
While the Devil's Snare in the Potter books is clearly a magical plant, the name is actually borrowed from a real and very poisonous plant, the Datura stramonium, also known by such diverse names as ditch weed, loco weed, devil's trumpet, and my personal favorite, devil's twinkie.
Dirigible Plum
A fruit growing near the Lovegood house. Luna wears these as earrings (OP13), probably because they are said to help a person accept the unusual (DH20).
dirigible = an airship comprised of a large, gas-filled cylindrical tube with a carriage beneath. The dirigible plums are shown floating in the air in (DH1/f), which harkens to the meaning of the word.
Healing Plants:
mistletoe berries
One of the plants found in One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi (PS14), and which historically has indeed been believed to have magic powers. Hermione's go-to healing potion is Essence of Dittany (DH14, DH27).
There are several plant varieties which are called dittany. The variety native to Crete is particularly reputed to have healing powers. In Ancient Greece, Hippocrates considered dittany useful for stomach aches and complaints of the digestive system and as a poultice for healing wounds.
A wand wood (Pm).
According the Ollivander, "(d)ogwood wands are quirky and mischievous; they have playful natures and insist upon partners who can provide them with scope for excitement and fun." Read more on Pottermore.
A wand wood (Pm).
According the Ollivander, "(e)bony is happiest in the hand of those with the courage to be themselves." Read more on Pottermore.
A wand wood (Pm).
According the Ollivander, "the elder wand is trickier to master than any other. It contains powerful magic, but scorns to remain with any owner who is not the superior of his or her company." Read more on Pottermore.
A wand wood. Lucius Malfoy's wand was made of elm (DH1), possibly because elm wands are believed by some to only be usable by pure-bloods (Pm).
According the Ollivander, "elm wands prefer owners with presence, magical dexterity and a certain native dignity." Read more on Pottermore.
Locations Related to Herbology
Hogwarts greenhouses
Forbidden Forest
apothecary, Diagon Alley
Mediterranean Sea
English oak
A wand wood (Pm).
According the Ollivander, "(w)ands of English oak demand partners of strength, courage and fidelity." Read more on Pottermore.
Fanged Geranium
This plant, which will bite humans, turned up on Harry's Herbology O.W.L. (OP31). Mentioned in the Rumours advert for the Toots, Shoots 'n' Roots radio program ("Fanged Geranium nothing but gums?") and in the Grade 3 W.O.M.B.A.T. test (JKR).
A wand wood (Pm).
According the Ollivander, "(f)ir wands are particularly suited to Transfiguration, and favour owners of focused, strong-minded and, occasionally, intimidating demeanour." Read more on Pottermore.
This plant apparently superficially resembles Devil's Snare in appearance, but is non-violent; St. Mungo's healer Miriam Strout mistook the Devil's Snare that killed Broderick Bode for a Flitterbloom (OP22, OP25). Mentioned in the radio program Toots, Shoots 'n' Roots (JKR).
Flutterby bush
This kind of bush quivers and shakes. The Flutterby bushes needed pruning in Herbology class (GF20). Flutterby bushes produces flowers every hundred years that give off a scent to attract prey (Pm).
"Flutterby" is an old name for "butterfly"
An ingredient in Polyjuice potion, for which it must be picked at the full moon (CS10).
Isanthus brachiatus, a member of the mint family also known as "false pennyroyal" (pennyroyal being another member of the mint family). Fluxweed is native to the eastern United States and is a threatened or endangered species in several areas (PLANTS).
"flux" = "change"
Native to the Mediterranean, this water plant looks like a bundle of slimy, greyish-green rat tails. When eaten, gives a person gills to breathe underwater and gives them webbed hands and feet for swimming. The duration of the gillyweed effect is approximately one hour. Snape keeps gillyweed in his private stores; it is not available to the students (GF26). The effects of gillyweed were first dicovered by Elladora Ketteridge (fw/46). About a century later, gillyweed was apparently re-discovered by Beaumont Marjoribanks (fw/54).
"gill" = a breathing organ found in many aquatic organisms
A component of the Wit-Sharpening Potion (GF27).
Resembles a green onion, and according to Luna is excellent for warding off Gulping Plimpies (HBP20). It can be made into a drink ("infusion of Gurdyroots") which is deep purple in color and unpleasant to drink to many (DH20). Mentioned in the radio program Toots, Shoots 'n' Roots ("... tune in next time when we'll be discussing the right way to skin a Gurdyroot ...") (JKR).
Broom components:
A wand wood (Pm). Draco Malfoy owned a hawthorn wand which had a core of unicorn hair (DH24).
According the Ollivander, "(h)awthorn wands may be particularly suited to healing magic, but they are also adept at curses ... " Read more on Pottermore.
A wand wood (Pm). Hazel twigs were used in the tails for medieval-era broomsticks (QA1).
According the Ollivander, "hazel often reflects its owner's emotional state, and works best for a master who understands and can manage their own feelings." Read more on Pottermore.
A potion ingredient in the form of a syrup, two drops of which are used in the making of the Draught of Peace (OP12).
There are several kinds of hellebore. The name comes from the Greek words 'elein' (to injure) and 'bora' (food), indicating that hellebore is poisonous. In some belief systems, it's been believed to be a purgative, sometimes of bad things generally, used for things like protecting livestock from evil spells, and (in powdered form) for invisibility.
According to herb lore, the roots of the hellebore plant are are used to treat melancholy diseases and madness.
A species of tree that qualifies as a "wand tree," in that its wood can be used in the making of wands. Harry's wand is made of holly (esp. PS5, also GF12, DH8, DH17, DH36). Holly is often used as Christmas decorations (PS12, CS12, PA10, PA11, GF22, OP23, HBP15).
According the Ollivander, "holly should only be gathered as the year wanes." Wands made of holly "often choose owners who are engaged in some dangerous and often spiritual quest." Read more on Pottermore. (Also TBB-TB)
Holly is a traditional symbol of resurrection, but in a much more upbeat sense than yew. (Being associated with Christmas rather than cemeteries helps its image considerably). According to www.botanical.com, Pliny attributed several interesting magical properties to it, among them that holly grants protection from poison, lightning, and witchcraft. Harry, of course, has had close encounters with poison on several occasions, most notably in the Chamber of Secrets, and we all know about the scar on his forehead.
Honking Daffodil
Professor Sprout grows these, but Lavender Brown says she prefers mundane daffodils to take as a gift to someone (OP27). A wizard growing these in his garden may encounter a problem with Muggle neighbors hearing them, according to the radio program Toots, Shoots 'n' Roots (JKR).
A wand wood (Pm). Viktor Krum's wand is made of hornbeam and dragon heartstring (GF18), as is the wand of Ollivander (Pm).
According the Ollivander, hornbeam creates a "particularly fine-tuned and sentient wand." Read more on Pottermore.
Knotgrass is an ingredient in Polyjuice Potion (CS10). It grows in the Forest and can be difficult to walk through (OP30).
The reference in OP -- "Harry and Hermione were struggling through a patch of thick knotgrass" -- suggests that their may be a magical version of knotgrass which actually binds or entangles a person who walks through it. If so, Rowling is playing on the word "knot" in the name of this common plant.
A wand wood (Pm).
According the Ollivander, larch "creates wands of hidden talents and unexpected effects ... " Read more on Pottermore.
A wand wood (Pm).
Ollivander adds his own observations to the common wisdom that "a laurel wand cannot perform a dishonourable act" on Pottermore.
leaping toadstool
The second year Herbology students worked with these (CS14).
A potion ingredient used to make Confusing and Befuddlement Draughts (OP18).
Levisticum officinale, a culinary and medicinal herb in the carrot family that is native to southern Europe but which has been introduced to North America (NSOED, PLANTS).
A species of tree that qualifies as a "wand tree," in that its wood can be used in the making of wands (PS5). James Potter's first wand was made of mahogany, and according to Mr. Ollivander was "excellent for Transfiguration", which should have been of help to James as an Animagus (PS5). The handle of the Nimbus 2000 broom was made of mahogany (PS10). Dolores Umbridge's office door was made of mahogany (DH13).
Centaurs burn this, observing the fumes and flames to refine the results of their stargazing (OP27).
See Mandrake.
The Mandrake root is a powerful restorative. It forms an essential part of most antidotes, including one for Petrification (CS6). The Mandrake Restorative Draught returns people who have been Transfigured or cursed to their original state. Mandrake seedlings are tufty little plants, purplish green in colour (CS6) with what look like tiny babies growing where the roots would be. These creatures grow and develop over the course of several months until they mature and can be harvested and used for potions. The cry of the Mandrake is fatal to humans, so special care must be taken when growing them. Even as a baby, the Mandrake's howls can knock a person out for a couple of hours. The Dugbog is particularly fond of eating Mandrakes (FB).
No, it's not an editorial oversight that the Mandrake is listed as a plant that JKR didn't make up. The real-life mandrake was once believed to have almost all the properties that Mandrakes have, the main exception being that the plant only sort of looks human-shaped instead of having the unusual roots that Mandrakes have. Or maybe Muggles just can't see them...-- MLW
A species of tree that qualifies as a "wand tree", in that its wood can be used in the making of wands (PS5).
Ollivander writes that "(p)ossession of a maple wand has long been a mark of status, because of its reputation as the wand of high achievers." Read more on Pottermore.
Mimbulus mimbletonia
Very rare, native to Assyria, this plant resembles a grey cactus, but with boils where the spines would have been. The boils are a defensive mechanism that spews Stinksap upon contact. This plant is a particular favorite of Neville Longbottom's, who received one as a present from his Great Uncle Algie for his 15th birthday. Like its owner, the plant grew a lot over that year (OP10, OP11, OP38).
"The name probably comes from the genus of plants called mimulus. In the lore of flower remedies, as developed by British physician Dr Edward Bach in the 1920s, an essence made from the mimulus flower is said to counter anxiety and fear." (The Lexicon p204).
mistletoe berries
Ingredient in the Antidote to Most Poisons and the Forgetfulness Potion (Pm).

snargaluff tree
A rather vicious plant which looks like a gnarled stump until it is disturbed, at which its spiky branches attack. Inside the snargaluff are a number of small pods which, when stabbed, emit wriggling tubers (HBP14). One of these plants grows in the garden by the Lovegoods' house (DH20). Sprout used Snargaluff pods to fight the Death Eaters during the Battle of Hogwarts (DH30).
A potion ingredient used to make Confusing and Befuddlement Draughts (OP18).

This Millard Fillmore Trench coat ($172) is a brilliant combination of vintage inspiration and modern sensibility. The characteristic tortoise shell buttons and buckle are a lovely contrast to the soft cream of the coat. Bustle pleating in the back and the shorter length are fashion forward details that depart from the more standard trench style. Cinch the thick sash at your true waist to create an elegant, old Hollywood silhouette or let the coat hang open to showcase the blue piping and striped lining. Any way you wear it - you'll ook fabulous and stay comfortable in the changeable spring weather.
Ohhhh, *want*. Why can't it come in plus size? I have an hourglass figure and I adore trench coats.

CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Wild police chase, shooting ends with arrest, seizure of drugs and money
(WXYZ) - All it took were seconds for a dangerous fight to break out between a Warren Police officer and a man he pulled over for a traffic stop.
Tuesday afternoon, the suspect, standing 6-feet-4 inches and weighing 350 pounds, pulled the officer into his car and stepped on the gas.
From dash cam video, the officer can be seen being dragged a few feet before struggling to get back on his feet.
It all started when the officer saw the suspect blowing through a stop sign.
At first, the traffic stop went smoothly when the suspect pulled over, but minutes later, the situation escalated into violence.
"The officer was going to place him under arrest," said Warren Commissioner Jere Green. "He actually doubled his cuffs up because the guy was so big and he attempted to put cuffs on and the guy started to fight him."
The chase then started down Van Dyke.
In the dash cam video, smoke can be seen where the suspect's Honda Civic clipped another car driven by a man on his way back from his lunch break.
The Honda got stuck for a moment, but the vehicle broke free and the chase was back on.
The suspect led the same officer down side streets and slammed into parked cars. Eventually, he drove into an alley.
"The officer gets out, the bad guy puts the car in reverse, accelerates, and goes toward the officer and the scout car," said Commissioner Green. "The officer fires three shots at that point from his duty weapon."
The suspect was shot twice but managed to take off in his car again. He eventually came to a stop a short time later on Veach and Stockton on Detroit's west side.
It was there the man was taken into custody and rushed to the hospital.
According to Warren Police, officers found wads of cash and a lot of drugs inside the suspect's car.
The officer is now in the hospital with a back injury. He will be temporarily placed on paid leave while he recovers.

If you have ejaculation problems caused by physical conditions, your GP should be able to suggest possible treatment options.
Treating ejaculation problems caused by psychological factors can be more challenging, but most men who persevere with treatment have successful outcomes.
There are a number of things you can try yourself before seeking medical help, such as:
If you are in a long-term relationship, you may benefit from having couples therapy. The purpose of couples therapy is two-fold.
First, couples are encouraged to explore issues that may be affecting their relationship, and given advice about how to resolve them.
Second, couples are shown techniques that can help the man to 'unlearn' the habit of premature ejaculation. The two most popular techniques are the 'squeeze technique' and the 'stop-go technique'.
In the squeeze technique, the woman begins masturbating the man. When the man feels that he is almost at the point of ejaculation, he signals to the woman. The woman stops masturbating him, and squeezes the head of his penis for between 10 to 20 seconds. She then lets go and waits for another 30 seconds before resuming masturbation. This process is carried out several times before ejaculation is allowed to occur.
The stop-go technique is similar to the squeeze technique except that the woman does not squeeze the penis. Once the man feels more confident about delaying ejaculation, the couple can begin to have sexual intercourse, stopping and starting as required.
These techniques may sound simple, but they do require a lot of practice.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are primarily designed to treat depression, but they also have the useful side effect of delaying ejaculation. Although SSRIs are not licensed to treat premature ejaculation, they are increasingly being prescribed for this use.
SSRIs used for this purpose include:
Some men with premature ejaculation may experience an improvement in their symptoms as soon as treatment begins. However, you will usually need to take the medication for one to two weeks before you notice the full effects of the treatment.
Common side effects of SSRIs include:
However, these are usually mild and should improve after two to three weeks.
An SSRI, known as dapoxetine, has been specifically designed to treat premature ejaculation.
From November 2013, dapoxetine (Priligy) became the first medication to be licensed for premature ejaculation in the UK and local NHS authorities can choose to prescribe it on the NHS.
Dapoxetine acts much faster than the SSRIs mentioned above and can be used 'on demand'. If you are prescribed dapoxetine, you will usually be advised to take it one to three hours before having sex, but not more than once a day.
Dapoxetine is not suitable for all men diagnosed with premature ejaculation. For example, it is not recommended for some men with heart, kidney and liver problems. Dapoxetine can also interact with other medications, such as other antidepressants.
Common side effects of dapoxetine include headaches, dizziness and feeling sick.
The use of topical anaesthetics such as lidocaine or prilocaine can be helpful but can be transferred and absorbed to the vagina, causing decreased sensation. Condoms can also be used and are effective, particularly when combined with local anaesthesia.
Sex therapy is a form of counselling that uses a combination of psychotherapy and structured changes in your sex life. This can help to increase your feeling of enjoyment during sex, and help make ejaculation easier.
Some clinical commisioning groups (CCGs) provide a sex therapy service on the NHS, but others do not. Therefore, levels of availability can vary widely depending on where you live.
You can also pay privately for sex therapy. Prices for a single session can vary from around £50 to £80. For information about private sex therapists in your local area you should visit the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists website.
The relationship counselling service Relate also offers sex therapy at a number of its centres; you would be expected to pay for each session.
During sex therapy, you will have the opportunity to discuss any emotional or psychological issues related to your sexuality and relationship, in a non-judgemental way.
Activities may also be recommended for you to try at home while you are having sex with your partner (you should never be asked to take part in any sexual activities during a session with the therapist).
These may include:
Read more information about what a sex therapist can do.
There are a number of medications that can be used if it is thought SSRIs are responsible for causing delayed ejaculation. These include:
These medications help block some of the chemical effects of SSRIs that are thought to contribute towards delayed ejaculation.
Most men do not require treatment for retrograde ejaculation because they are still able to enjoy a healthy sex life and the condition does not have adverse effects on their health.
If retrograde ejaculation is caused by using a certain medication then normal ejaculation will usually return once the medication is stopped. Speak to your GP before you stop taking prescibed medication.
If treatment is required (usually because of wanting to father a child), medicines can be used to strengthen the muscles around the bladder neck. Pseudoephedrine (a medicine commonly used as a decongestant) has proved to be effective in treating retrograde ejaculation caused by diabetes or surgery.
However, if the retrograde ejaculation has been caused by significant muscle or nerve damage, treatment may not be possible.
Men who want to have children can have sperm taken from their urine for use in artificial insemination or in-vitro fertilisation (IVF).

Driving The ACE
A dreamlike sense
of unreality envelopes me as I joyfully thread this little vehicle along the
twisting mountain road. Double-clutching to 3rd, I take a late apex next to a
shear rock face - the staccato report of my twin mufflers reverberates back to
me; the tires offer no protest as the chassis heels very gently. The tach climbs
and I grab 4th. I feel like Michael Schumacher - no, make it Juan Manuel Fangio!
Actually, I feel exactly like me and I know that this car is the perfect
expression of who I am and everything I've learned thus far: I designed and
built the prototype over a 5 year period and now that it's finally functioning
at an amazingly high level of performance, driving it offers me a hard earned
The ACE is nothing like a trike or sidecar outfit despite its three-wheeled
configuration: it's light weight, ultra low center of gravity and relatively
sophisticated suspension allow the ACE to perform like a small sports/racing
car. With a stock 88" motor the ACE accelerates about like a dresser and easily
pulls away from cars. Driving the ACE puts you in mind of the heroic fighter
pilots and race drivers of the past. It's like a blend of classic speed boat,
open cockpit plane and vintage race car. You have the rap and bark of the V-Twin
motor. You are sitting barely 9" off the pavement and as the road rushes at you,
the feeling of speed is intensified.
The Brooklands screen deflects just enough wind blast to see exactly where you
are placing each front wheel. You can watch the suspension respond to the road
and the wheels react to every steering input. The ACE is at its best in the
twisties, barely squeaking a tire as it effortlessly dispatches the most
serpentine of roads. Driving the ACE is an exhilarating experience and my pulse
invariably rises when I settle into the seat, snap the steering wheel in place,
flip the ignition switch and push the starter button!

According to a May 12 report from Wrestling News Source, WWE superstar Daniel Bryan announced on WWE Monday Night Raw that he is set to undergo a minimally-invasive neck procedure that will keep him sidelined for an extended period of time. Bryan, 32, admitted to the crowd that he isn't quite sure when he'll return to action.
Bryan said there's a chance his career might be over. In all likelihood, Bryan will only miss a few weeks of WWE house shows, and he should be cleared to return for next month's Payback special event. If he's not ready in time for Payback, he should be back for the Money in the Bank show later this summer. Bryan's injury is proof that pro wrestling is legitimately dangerous.
Bryan takes a beating more than most other superstars, and the WWE hates having him sidelined. Since he's one of their biggest stars, its best for business to keep Bryan out there. Bryan appears at almost every televised and non-televised WWE event. It was announced on the WWE Network's Monday Night RAW pre-show before their taping in Greenville, S.C., that Bryan would address the crowd regarding his injury.
True to their word, Bryan walked out and addressed WWE Universe. He assured the crowd that he would be back in action when he's at full health. The WWE did not say when or how Bryan's injury occurred. One interesting thing that did happen was that WWE analyst JBL chimed in right after Bryan's announcement, with a comment that he had a similar injury which forced him into retirement.
Bryan was expected to battle Kane at WWE Payback next month, but that fight is now in jeopardy. Bryan might be off that card altogether, and Kane may be searching for a new opponent. Honestly it's probably best that Bryan gets this injury taken care of now, before it gets any worse. Neck injuries are nothing to play around with.
The WWE needs Bryan at full health for several more years to come, so they can't afford to lose him now. Bryan is the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Thoughts and prayers go out to Bryan at present time. The hope is that he'll return sooner rather than later, but he won't be rushed back into action.

All 10 of the Big 12's teams and 10 SEC schools will participate in the inaugural event. Arkansas, Georgia, LSU and Tennessee will not participate this year.
ESPN will have the exclusive coverage for all games across its networks.
"Pairing us with TCU in this challenge with the Big 12 was a great move by the SEC," Ray said. "Coach (Trent) Johnson is a quality coach and individual that will have an improved team ready to come and compete in the Hump. It should be and will continue to be an entertaining matchup for our fans this year and the years to come."
This event replaces the SEC/Big East Challenge, where MSU was 2-2 with wins against DePaul and West Virginia and losses to Cincinnati and Providence.
"The ability to showcase SEC basketball in this kind of conference competition makes this a unique and exciting event for our coaches, student-athletes and fans," SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said. "We are pleased to be able to work with the Big 12 and ESPN to highlight the sport of men's basketball."
