Storrs, CT (SportsNetwork.com) - The University of Connecticut and head men's basketball coach Kevin Ollie have agreed to a five-year, $15 million contract extension, the school officially announced Thursday.
Ollie led the Huskies to a 32-8 overall record in 2013-14, culminating in a win over Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament title game to secure the school's fourth National Championship in the last 16 years.
"I'm very pleased that we were able to agree to a new contract and that we'll be able to continue to build upon the success we've had," Ollie said. "It's a humbling experience to be around the UConn fans and the UConn family and to know that I am their basketball coach for the foreseeable future. I'm very proud of that."
The extension ensures that Ollie, who had been rumored as a candidate to fill one of several vacant NBA head coaching positions, will remain at the school through the 2018-19 campaign.
Ollie took over in 2012 for Jim Calhoun after the Hall-of-Fame coach stepped aside because of health problems and has guided the Huskies to a 52-18 record in two seasons at the helm.
"Kevin Ollie is the right person to lead our men's basketball team into the future," said UConn president Susan Herbst. "Kevin has done a remarkable job as our head coach over the past two years and also during his time as a UConn student-athlete and assistant coach. He is a person of utmost character and leadership and embodies everything we stand for here at the University of Connecticut."
Ollie, a former Huskies captain, is also eligible for additional compensation for services and performances in the postseason as well as for the team's academic achievements under his guide.

Petrification Gauntlet
Naruto the Movie 3: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom
|Appears in
Movie only
Ishidate wears a special gauntlet on his right hand that possesses two abilities.
This gauntlet's first special ability, which is to petrify anything that it touches, activates when Ishidate touches his target with it. The eye on his gauntlet will open and send chemicals through the target's body, turning the body into stone; the amount of body petrified is determined on how long he grips onto their body and where; he petrified Kakashi's arm by grabbing onto it, but Korega completely became a statue from a strike on the back. If treated with the appropriate medical ninjutsu the petrified portion can return to normal. If the body remains in this stone form for too long, though, it will remain petrified forever. Also, the petrified bodies become brittle and fragile, making it easy to shatter, and killing the victim.
The gauntlet's second ability is to manipulate other stone. Ishidate can levitate stone, even causing chunks of it to break off from the rooftop and use them as his weapon. He can levitate them to serve as a platform for him to stand in mid-air, split them into numerous daggers and launch them as sharp projectiles or rain them down from above. This ability is somewhat a form of telekinesis.

Acute liver failure is loss of liver function that occurs rapidly — in days or weeks —usually in a person who has no pre-existing liver disease. Acute liver failure is less common than chronic liver failure, which develops more slowly.
Acute liver failure, also known as fulminant hepatic failure, can cause serious complications, including excessive bleeding and increasing pressure in the brain. It's a medical emergency that requires hospitalization.
Depending on the cause, acute liver failure can sometimes be reversed with treatment. In many situations, though, a liver transplant may be the only cure.
Signs and symptoms of acute liver failure may include:
Acute liver failure can develop quickly in an otherwise healthy person, and it is life-threatening. If you or someone you know suddenly develops a yellowing of the eyes or skin; tenderness in the upper abdomen; or any unusual changes in mental state, personality or behavior, seek medical attention right away.
Acute liver failure occurs when liver cells are damaged significantly and are no longer able to function. Potential causes include:
Acetaminophen overdose. Taking too much acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States. Acute liver failure can occur after one very large dose of acetaminophen, or after higher than recommended doses every day for several days.
If you suspect that you or someone you know has taken an overdose of acetaminophen, seek medical attention as quickly as possible. Do not wait for the signs of liver failure.
Many cases of acute liver failure have no apparent cause.
Acute liver failure often causes complications, including:
If your doctor suspects you have acute liver failure, you'll likely be admitted to a hospital for treatment. Most people with acute liver failure are treated in an intensive care unit.
Your doctor will ask you or your family members questions to try to determine the cause of your acute liver failure. Your doctor may ask:
If you have been diagnosed with acute liver failure, here are some questions to ask the doctor:
Tests and procedures used to diagnose acute liver failure include:
Examination of liver tissue. Your doctor may recommend a procedure to remove a small piece of liver tissue (liver biopsy). Tests of the liver tissue may help your doctor understand why your liver is failing.
Because people with acute liver failure are at risk of bleeding during biopsy, the doctor may perform a transjugular liver biopsy. Through a tiny incision on the right side of your neck, your doctor passes a thin tube (catheter) into a large vein in your neck, through your heart and into a vein exiting your liver. Your doctor then inserts a needle down through the catheter and retrieves a sample of liver tissue.
People with acute liver failure are often treated in the intensive care unit of a hospital —and when possible, in a facility that can perform a liver transplant if necessary. Your doctor may try to treat the liver damage itself, but in many cases, treatment involves controlling complications and giving your liver time to heal.
Acute liver failure treatments may include:
Your doctor will work to control signs and symptoms you're experiencing and try to prevent complications caused by acute liver failure. This care may include:
Reduce your risk of acute liver failure by taking care of your liver.

"These adhesive gift tags added such a beautiful and personal touch to my shower gift favours! Great delivery speed! Highly recommended!"
"I ordered these stickers to place on tags I purchased at a craft store. These turned out perfect! The size is great and the font is a good size too. I had ordered stickers elsewhere that were too small and the words were hard to read. These were perfect and really colorful! I'm putting these tags on small bottles that I will fill up with sand and give as wedding favors for our beach wedding. Turned out great!"
"The tags are beautiful and even better that pictured. They are also priced lower that any other I have seen. Excellent quality and value!"
"I am using the adhesive tags on gift bags to give guests at an upcoming wedding rehearsal dinner. We changed the color of the names to gold to match the teal and gold decorations we are using ---- so very cute! Put them on teal, gold, and white gift bags which contain fun items (champagne, nuts, water, sunscreen, Tylenol, salt water taffy, gold fish, etc. as the wedding is at the beach). The color of the tag seems to be more teal than turquoise. Once again, we so appreciate the custom design options and extremely FAST service. The stickers arrived several days before promised."
"I purchased these to use as a seal for our Stylish Starfish wedding invites with the pocket fold. Customer service was great and removed the "Our Wedding" line so it just has our names and wedding date centered on the square. These are going to be perfect to seal the invites instead of using a wax or other type of seal!"

How to Be a Bridesmaid Without Going Broke!
Tips from three wedding pros on how to rock your bridesmaid duties without breaking the bank.
-Heather Taylor
|This series is brought to you by TurboTax Federal Free Edition.
Something old, something new, something borrowed and … some more things borrowed too? During the upcoming wedding season, we know that you bridesmaids on a budget will be looking to cut corners on your wedding expenses as much as possible. There's the dress, the bridal shower, the bachelorette party (VEGAS!), the wedding registry, and so much more that all adds up to many pretty pennies. Don't let all of the bridezilla craziness take over before the ceremony starts — let us guide you down your road to the big day with these tips on how to think outside of the box when it comes to cost without shirking your responsibilities — and still enjoying taking part in such a special event!
1. Rent the Dress
The biggest bridal expense? You guessed it, it's the dress. Sharon Naylor, author of Bridesmaid on a Budget, says, "According to TheWeddingReport.com, bridesmaids spend over $1,000 on all of their responsibilities … the biggest expense is their dress, averaging at $182."
Of course, that's just the average — and doesn't take in to account alterations — it can all add up to several hundred dollars. Multiply that x3 for additional spring/summer weddings… yikes! Justine Schwartz, associate editor of BRIDEfinds.com suggests visiting sites like Rent the Runway or Little Borrowed Dress instead of buying a dress. Rent the Runway carries a wide selection of designer dresses for all bridal occasions by designers like Badgley Mischka and Nicole Miller to rent at a fraction of the price. Also, try Something Borrowed NY for your pretty hair accessories.
Of course, this only works if the whole bridal party isn't wearing the same dress, or they all agree to go rental. "This can be hard when the other bridesmaids have more money than you do, but if you have the courage to speak up there's another bridesmaid out there who will love you for taking charge and saying, let's look some more," Naylor says.
And if you need backup, be direct with your bride. Real Weddings editor Shira Savada at Martha Stewart Weddings encourages brides to not only pick a style that everyone will love to wear but one that satisfies most budgets.
2. Skip Vegas for an Outside of the Box Bachelorette Party
Who doesn't remember that scene in the movie Bridesmaids with Kristen Wiig's embarrassing hijinks 20,000 feet up in the air en route to Las Vegas? No bride wants to have her party escorted off the plane before they make it to their destination. Skip a flight expense for something closer and more local that all of your friends can attend.
Justine suggests taking a tour of a local perfumer in your city and having them create a signature scent for the bride.
Sharon loves the idea of holding a fabulous spa party (especially if you have an incredible hot tub on hand!) with a massage therapist brought in for a few hours and a gourmet dinner for the ladies with a personal chef a la The Real Housewives.
Consider combining the bachelorette party with the bridal shower too. "If the bride is dead-set on getting on a plane, consider killing two birds with one stone and throwing the bachelorette party and shower over the same weekend. Not only will this cut back on expenses, but it will really streamline the planning process." Shira says.
3. Make the Gifts Special, not Spendy
You don't need to spend a fortune on your shower or wedding presents. For the shower, take this moment to buy or make a heartfelt, creative gift instead — a photo book filled with your best memories of your BFF for a shower gift; a picture frame with your favorite love poem inside for the happy couple.
Shira suggests taking the time to think of a gift outside of the box – a passport case in her favorite color for her honeymoon and "experience" gifts like a delicious dinner with her fiancé that can be found on Groupon or Living Social.
You can also go in on a great present with another friend of the bride and groom: Justine's fun gift ideas for under $50 include Sephora's Beauty and the Bride box.
Finally, If you really can't afford to go … Speak Up!
No bridesmaid wants to skip out on attending the wedding of those near and dear to them but sometimes financial circumstances simply can't allow for attendance to all of th events. Be polite in declining, using the wording that Sharon suggests: "It breaks my heart, but I truly cannot afford to be a bridesmaid for anyone right now…and I'd never want to be the reason you don't get the bridal shower, or bachelorette party, you deserve. You're so important to me, and I just couldn't stand it if my money issues caused you or any of your bridesmaids any drama or disappointment. I wish it were different, but I just can't afford it. If I can help with anything, though, I'll be very happy to."
Tissues please! The bride will be understanding of the situation and supportive of making you comfortable.

Good tree planting practices include good planting stock, a well-selected and properly prepared site, proper planting methods, and adequate protection and care of the tree seedlings before and after planting. Failure in any of these planting practices often results in unsatisfactory survival or growth or even in complete failure. Before you order seedlings, ask yourself these questions:
This guide helps answer these questions. If you are planning a large planting or a commercial planting, seek advice from a professional forester. Contact the MU Extension center in your county or the State Forester, Missouri Department of Conservation, Jefferson City.
Trees survive and grow best when planted under conditions similar to those where they occur naturally. Missouri is part of the great central hardwood forest region. More than 160 species of trees are found in the state. Trees preferring similar conditions form forest communities.
Soils and climate create four broad tree-growing areas in the state. These areas, shown in Figure l, denote major changes in general tree-growing conditions that should be considered when selecting species. However, within each major area many varying sites must be considered individually for species selection.
Figure 1Missouri tree-growing areas.
The most heavily wooded part of the state, the Ozark area once was nearly all forested. The area now is largely a mix of open pasture land and forest. The soils are often thin and rocky. This area has the greatest diversity of tree and shrub species in Missouri, and much of this area can be used to grow trees for wildlife and commercial forest products. It may be necessary to eliminate or control undesirable sprouts and other competing woody growth. Desirable species typically found on the better sites include scarlet, northern red, shumard, black, and white oak. Shagbark hickory, white ash, blackgum, river birch, eastern redcedar and shortleaf pine are other common species. In the eastern Ozarks, cherrybark oak, sweetgum and tulip poplar are common. Shrub species include flowering dogwood, aromatic sumac, hazelnut, redbud, ninebark, wild plum and deciduous holly. Site preparation in old fields often can be done by mowing or burning before planting.
Areas bordering the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers and their tributaries are a high-priority area for tree planting. Many good sites exist for the production of high-quality hardwood species, especially along the big rivers. Tree and shrub plantings can slow flood waters and protect valuable farmland from damaging floods, erosion and sand deposits. Soils are deep, fertile, river deposits. Typically on the lower ground, common species include cottonwood, silver maple, hackberry, sycamore and green ash. On higher ground: pecan, pin oak, black walnut, swamp white oak, northern red oak, and persimmon are among the dominant species. It is essential to prepare the sites properly before planting, especially in the bottomlands. Follow planting with regular weed control using mowing, disking, or chemicals, until trees are at least 4 to 6 feet tall. Survival and growth will be severely limited by competition from heavy weed growth.
This area includes the flat lowlands with deep river deposited soil and Crowleys Ridge, a very hilly area of deep rich soils. Nearly all of this area was once forested. Lowlands species included baldcypress, hackberry, cottonwood, silver maple, sycamore, pin oak, willow oak, overcup oak, sweetgum, and green ash. On the higher ground: tulip poplar, white ash, American beech, and a variety of hickory species are common. Site preparation and weed control are similar to the River-Border area.
In general, the soils and climate conditions of these areas are not as favorable to tree growth as the rest of Missouri. Site and species selection are very important, and after-planting care needs special emphasis. Common species in the uplands include bur, white, swamp white, shumard, black and northern red oaks, also Kentucky coffeetree, basswood, white and green ash, and black walnut. Sycamore, pecan, pin oak, green ash, silver maple, shellbark hickory, hackberry and cottonwood are common lowlands species. There are many opportunities for flood protection plantings along streams and rivers in the areas. Wildlife food and cover plantings are moderately successful and much needed.
All trees have their uses. Uses include wood products, shade or ornamental beauty, food and shelter for birds and animals, protection of soil, and modification of temperature or noise levels. All trees filter the air and produce oxygen. Table 1 shows common uses of some of the major species planted in Missouri.
Table 1Primary uses of major species
Aromatic sumacThis shrub, which grows up to 8 feet in height, can be found throughout Missouri except the extreme northwestern and southwestern portions of the state. The red fruit ripens from June through August and is eaten by many birds, including wild turkey. The low, spreading form and brilliant fall color make this an attractive shrub for windbreak and ornamental plantings.
BaldcypressBaldcypress occurs naturally in deep swamps in area C, the southeast lowlands, which are usually flooded for long periods of time. It is a tree of considerable beauty and has been planted as an ornamental tree statewide on a variety of sites. In old age, the tree generally has a broad fluted or buttressed base, a smooth slowly tapering trunk and a broad, flat top. Its bark is cinnamon-red, and the leaves are small and arranged in featherlike fashion along two sides of small branchlets. The branchlets fall in the autumn with the leaves still attached. The wood is very durable.
BlackgumBlackgum occurs naturally south of the Missouri River, but has been successfully planted statewide. It is found growing in deep soils along streams and in moist upland soils. The dark purple fruit is eaten by many birds and other wildlife. The leaves are shiny and dark green and turn a brilliant scarlet red in the fall. This tree is often affected by heart rot, making the tree useful for wildlife species that need dens for nesting and shelter.
Black locustThis Missouri native produces fragrant white or cream-colored flowers and has very hard, strong, durable wood. Its primary uses are for posts, erosion control, fuel wood and, because it is a legume with fibrous roots, soil improvement. Its branches are armed with pairs of short, sharp spines. Because black locust spreads easily from root runners, it can become a nuisance. On poor soils it is usually attacked by locust borers. It is found in areas A, B, and D but does best on fertile, moist soils of limestone origin.
Black oakFound throughout the state, black oak can tolerate dry rocky ridges and upper slopes, but will also make good growth on better quality sites. The lumber is generally low quality and is used for pallets, railroad ties, rough lumber and flooring. This oak is a consistent producer of acorns. The acorn is about 3/4 inch long and is eaten by a variety of wildlife.
Black walnutOn an individual tree basis, black walnut is one of the most valuable commercial species in the United States. Its wood is prized for a great variety of uses, including furniture, gunstocks and veneers. Its fruit, a nut, also provides many products and is a staple diet for squirrels.
Walnut is found statewide, but it is typically a good-site tree and develops best on deep, well-drained, moist and fertile soil and does especially well on deep loams, loess soil and fertile alluvial deposits. On wet bottomland or dry ridges and slopes, it grows slowly. Under natural conditions, abundant seed crops are produced irregularly, perhaps twice in five years. It commonly invades abandoned fields and pastures. Grasses thrive under its light shade, making it a popular tree for agroforestry purposes. If nut production is desired, wide spacings are necessary.
Bur oakThis large oak is found naturally on fertile, well-drained soils statewide. The acorn is large, up to 1-1/2 inches in diameter and half to three-quarters enclosed in a fringed cap. The bark is thick, almost corky, insulating the tree from fire. The wood is used like white oak for lumber, barrel staves, fuelwood, railroad ties, etc.
Cherrybark oakThis is a large oak found on ridges and high ground in the southeast lowland area of the state. The name derives from the scaly, reddish-tinged bark's resemblance to the bark of a black cherry. For timber quality, cherrybark oak is one of the most preferred of the lowland red oaks. You should consult a forester before undertaking any extensive planting of this species outside of area C.
CottonwoodFound along the streams throughout the state, cottonwood is a large, spreading tree with shiny, triangular leaves that turn yellow in the fall. Female trees produce large quantities of cottonlike seeds. It is sometimes used as an ornamental where large spaces exist because it grows rapidly and requires minimum care. It does become large and brittle and is relatively short lived. Its roots can damage basements, pavement and drainage lines.
Cottonwood develops best in deep, silty, sandy or clay-loam soils that are moist but well-aerated. It will survive deep sedimentation. It can be grown from planted cuttings or seedlings.
Deciduous hollyAlso known as possumhaw, this small tree occurs on a variety of sites in areas A, B, and C and in southern portions of area D. The male and female flowers are borne on separate plants, and the bright red berries on the females are a striking bit of color on the winter landscape. The fruit is also favored by a variety of birds. This, in conjunction with its site adaptability, makes deciduous holly desirable for wildlife and ornamental plantings statewide.
Flowering dogwoodMissouri's state tree is conspicuous in the early spring by its large, showy, white, petal-like, bracts that give the appearance of large spreading flowers. Birds, squirrels and other animals relish the fruit, a scarlet drupe.
Flowering dogwood is a small tree commonly found in the understory of a woodland. It is shade tolerant, and although found naturally south of Missouri River, it can be grown statewide if give plenty of shade (on selected sites). It will tolerate neither flooding nor very dry sites.
Gray dogwoodA small, almost shrublike, dogwood that does well on a variety of sites from rocky upland glades to moist prairie areas statewide. Gray dogwood forms thickets by underground suckers. The foliage takes on a purplish hue in autumn with clusters of white fruit borne on red stems, giving this species ornamental as well as wildlife food and cover value.
Green ashOften planted as a shade tree, green ash grows rapidly. It is a moderately large tree distributed throughout the state. Although it is a bottomland species, it is tolerant of many site conditions. Its wood is inferior to white ash but is used for many of the same purposes in the lumber industry.
HackberryOne of Missouri's most common species, hackberry is closely related to the elms. Its bark is grayish in color, rough, with unique warty projections. In rich bottomlands, where it is commonly found, it may grow to 125 feet in height.
Hackberry often hosts a disease that causes profuse clumps of twig growth called "witches brooms" and hosts several species of gall-forming insects. Still, many people consider hackberry a desirable shade tree. It is tolerant of the growth conditions found in urban communities. The galls and the fleshy, purple berrylike fruit furnish food for squirrels and birds.
Hawthorn (species)The official Missouri state flower is the hawthorn. About 50 different species of hawthorn are found statewide. Typically, most are small trees that are rarely taller than 25 feet. If open grown, the trees are often as wide as they are tall. Nearly all species appear in late April thru May. Many birds and mammals eat the red fruits. Widely planted for windbreaks, as an ornamental, and for wildlife. Many species are susceptible to infection from cedar apple rust. This fungus creates rusty orange spots on the leaves and may deform branches and fruits.
HazelnutThis 5- to 10-foot-tall shrub that occurs in tickets on many different sites statewide. The nuts, which are also known as Filberts, are a favorite of a wide range of wildlife from blue jays to deer as well a people. The nuts are often consumed by wildlife before they fully mature. The foliage of this species can be quite attractive in the autumn.
Kentucky coffeetreeFound widely scattered throughout the state, the Kentucky coffeetree is most common in western Missouri. It rarely grows in pure stands and is usually found growing on low, rich bottomlands, or moist hillsides along with a variety of other hardwoods. This tree is a legume and the large dark purple pods will often hang on the tree through the winter. The seedpod contains three to five hard marble-sized seeds. The male and female flowers are found on separate trees. Since the tree is scattered, it is of little timber value, but wildlife eat the seedpods. It is sometimes planted as an ornamental because of the heavy twigs and distinctive shape in the winter. It will grow to a height of 85 feet on good sites. This species derives its name from the fact that its beans were once roasted and brewed. The dark drink did not taste like coffee, but it was used as a substitute for coffee.
NinebarkThis 4- to 8-foot-tall shrub has numerous small, white flowers in umbrella-like clusters. Fruit is a small dry bladder. Bark on older branches is papery and shredded. The tree produces yellow-green autumn foliage. It is tolerant of many soils and thrives in semishade as well as in the sun. Ninebark is best used in the background of a shrub border for an unclipped hedge.
Northern red oakFound statewide, commonly on shallow, rocky soils, this red oak prefers well-drained loam or clay-loam sites. It is found most frequently on northern and easterly aspects, lower and middle slopes, coves and ravines and valley floors. Its acorn crops are important food for squirrel, deer, turkey and other birds and animals. It is an important timber product species. The brilliant red color of its autumn leaves and its symmetrical form have made it a widely used shade tree where space is not limited.
Osage orangeAlthough probably not native to Missouri, Osage orange has become naturalized through its use in fencerow plantings. It is found most commonly on deep rich soil, but in Missouri it grows on a variety of soils. It is extremely hardy and durable, making it suitable for fence posts. It is useful for farm windbreaks, wildlife food and cover, and erosion control. Its shallow root system competes efficiently for available moisture with other plants.
PecanA favorite nut, timber and shade tree of Missouri, the pecan occurs naturally in areas along certain large streams and rivers throughout the state. It is common on well-drained loam soils not subject to prolonged overflow, such as first bottom alluvial soils. It also occurs on certain heavy-textured bottomland soils and some cool, protected slopes. Nut production in native pecans begins when trees are about 20 years old, with optimum seed bearing age from 75 to 200 years. Pecan trees often attain large sizes.
PersimmonThis small to medium-sized tree is found on a variety of sites throughout Missouri. It can be found on dry uplands and in rich bottomlands. The male and female flowers are found on separate trees. The fruit can be eaten by humans and is an important fall food for many wildlife species. The wood is one of the hardest of all woods and is used for golf club heads. The bark is dark and broken into deep thick square blocks. The leaves are smooth edged, shiny dark green.
Pin oakThis wetland tree grows in the bottomlands and borders of swamps but also occurs on poorly drained soils and in fencerows and along draws in nearly every county in the state. Because it is one of the fastest growing oaks and will survive on a variety of soils, it is used extensively as a windbreak and ornamental tree. Pin oak has a single, upright stem with numerous long, tough branches, the lower ones drooping, the middle horizontal, and the upper ascending. It produces very knotty, low-grade lumber.
RedbudThis small tree occurs under taller trees, on the border of fields, on hillsides and in valleys throughout the state. Its stout branches usually form a wide, flat top. The conspicuous, bright purplish-red pea-shaped flowers are numerous and colorful in the early spring. These flowers and the heart-shaped leaves make redbud desirable for ornamental plantings. Its diameter seldom exceeds 8 inches or its height 25 feet.
RedcedarOne of the most versatile trees in Missouri, redcedar is found in every county in the state on nearly all classes and conditions of soil. It seems to thrive on barren soils where few trees are found. It is relatively slow growing on most sites and generally a medium-sized tree. Its heartwood is red, durable and aromatic and is used in cedar chests, closets and novelty items. Its dense evergreen foliage makes it a valuable windbreak, screen or hedge tree. The pale blue, berrylike fruit is a favorite winter food for birds. They tend to scatter the seeds widely, causing invasion of the tree into pastures and other areas where it may not be wanted.
Redcedar has few fatal insect and disease enemies but does host bagworm, spider mites and cedar-apple rust. It is also susceptible to damage by even light fires.
River birchThe only birch native to Missouri, this is a common lowland and riverbank species. It is a medium-sized tree commonly found in clumps of several trunks. The bark is thin and papery and light pinkish or tan in color.
Shellbark hickoryThis species, sometimes called big shagbark hickory, is the largest of the hickories. Shellbark is found on the fertile bottomlands throughout Missouri, except it is absent from the Ozarks. While it has similar bark to shagbark hickory it can be identified by the larger leaves, greater number of leaflets, orange twigs and large nuts. This is the largest and best tasting of the native hickory nuts. The wood is very strong, hard, and shock resistant and is one of the best woods for tool handles. On good bottomland sites, this tree can grow more than 100 feet tall.
Shortleaf pineThis is the only pine native to Missouri. Its natural range lies in area A, for the most part on thin upland slopes or ridgetop soils of sandstone origin. It is an important timber species, used largely for lumber, paper pulp and treated posts. Scattered stands of young shortleaf pine furnish valuable wildlife cover. When planted out of its range, susceptibility to insects and disease increases. In many cases, when seed is available, larger areas may be seeded, under a forester's direction, more economically than they can be planted. Shortleaf pine should be planted south of the Missouri River but only on selected sites in area C or D. Avoid shaded locations and claypan soils. It prefers acid soils.
Shrub lespedesaThis perennial, woody shrub legume furnishes high-quality food for birds, including quail. Rabbits will browse the plant during the winter, but it will sprout back the next spring. Plants should be set 2 feet apart within rows that are 3 feet apart.
Shumard oakThis oak is one of the largest of the southern red oaks. It is similar in appearance to northern red oak. Native to the southern two-thirds of Missouri, it is found along drainages and broad river bottoms and in upland sites. It can be found in, and will tolerate, a broader range of planting sites than northern red oak. The acorn is smaller and the cap slightly deeper than that of red oak. The wood is commercially valuable and this species makes a handsome shade tree where there is plenty of space. Red fall leaf color and symmetrical form make this a desirable shade tree. This species should be more widely planted along with other oaks in reforestation projects.
Silver (soft) mapleSilver maple will grow in many different soil types but occurs naturally where there is a good moisture supply throughout the growing season — usually on alluvial soils or soils with imperfect drainage. Silver maple grows rapidly and has been much planted as a shade tree. It has a disadvantage of brittle limbs subject to wind and ice breakage. Also several insects and diseases cause problems. Its silvery leaves turn yellow in the fall.
Silver maple is used for timber products, windbreaks and streambank protection. It can be planted statewide.
SweetgumThis is a timber species whose natural range in Missouri is on rich river bottoms, in swamps subject to frequent overflows, and on drier uplands along streams in area C. However, sweetgum adapts to many soils and sites and has been planted statewide for many purposes. It is resistant to insects and disease but susceptible to fire.
It is a popular ornamental tree because of its adaptability, its star-shaped leaf (ranging in fall color from pale yellow to deep bronze) and its ball-like fruit that persists through the winter. Sweetgum is also tolerant of city environments.
SycamoreOne of the fastest growing trees, sycamore attains large size and is found statewide. It has large leaves and distinctive white and brown bark attractive in winter and summer. Its outer bark yearly flakes off in large patches, exposing the nearly white underbark. Because of its high resistance to industrial fumes, it has been used extensively for shade tree plantings at industrial sites where space permits. It is commonly found along streams and in rich bottomlands but does not appear where surface drainage immediately around the tree is poor. It is highly susceptible to anthracnose and canker disease. Low-value timber products are produced from sycamore.
White ashThis large tree prefers deep moist soil but will grow on a variety of sites. The wood is valuable for handles, bats and other striking tools.
White oakThis is one of the most common and best-loved Missouri trees. A large tree, it grows best on loamy, well-drained soils in protected coves and on cool slopes, but it is found on a many different of sites. White oak wood is used in barrels, furniture and a number of other products. Although it is difficult to transplant, white oak becomes a large shade tree once established. Its leaves turn red in the fall.
White pineA major timber species in much of the United States, white pine was introduced in Missouri as an ornamental. It is a large, long-lived, symmetrical tree with delicate five-needled foliage. White pine is sometimes used for Christmas trees and in windbreaks.
White pine is more tolerant of shade than many other pines. It is susceptible to air pollution, bagworm, winter injury and deer browsing. It does poorly on wet sites.
Wild (American) plumA small tree 10 to 20 feet tall, commonly occurring in thickets throughout the state. One of the first trees to bloom in the spring with showy white flowers. The fruit is edible. An excellent wildlife food and cover and erosion control plant.
Willow oakThis moisture-loving oak is native to the Missouri bootheel and surrounding counties north to St. Louis. It does best on poorly drained sites. It will tolerate swamp areas and upland sites with heavy clay soils. The name derives from the unusual leaves for an oak — they look just like willow leaves. This tree is often planted statewide for an ornamental because of the unusual leaves and fast growth. The acorn is one of the smaller of the native oaks and is heavily used by waterfowl and other wildlife. Mature willow oak can grow to 80 feet in height.
Witch hazelThis is a large shrub, up to 10 feet tall, found in and along dry, rocky streambeds in southern and central Missouri. It is reputed to have strange powers ranging from medicinal uses to water witching. This shrub is important for wildlife food and cover and for controlling erosion along streams. This is one of the earliest flowering plants in the state, often flowering in January and February. The flowers are small and yellow with ribbon-like petals.
Yellow (tulip) poplarThis tree receives its name from the yellow color of its heartwood and its attractive tulip-like flowers. It is native to deep, moist soils along streams and to cool north slopes in area C. Best growth occurs on soils with deep, well-drained surface layers overlaying loamy or moderately fine-textured subsoils with a good supply of available moisture. Tulip poplar should not be planted on flat-lying, poorly drained soils with shallow depth to tight subsoils. Deep, fertile, moist soils in second bottoms, north slopes and coves in areas C, B and A are best planting opportunities.
Where space permits, yellow poplar is often planted as a shade tree or ornamental. Its leaves turn yellow in the fall. It is usually free from serious insect or disease problems but is easily damaged by ice, cattle and wildlife.
Make note of soil type and present ground cover. Most trees and shrubs available for planting have definite soil, moisture and light requirements for best growth. Take special note of soils that have shallow impervious layers (such as claypans) or soils that are poorly drained. Trees differ greatly in soil moisture requirements, but few trees can stand poor drainage. If drainage is poor in the top 18 inches of soil, expect poor growth and even death of most species.
Poor soil drainage can sometimes be predicted from soil maps but usually is determined at the proposed planting site. Dig small holes (or use a soil auger) 18 inches deep throughout the field. Yellow, brown, or red soil is usually well drained. Soil that is gray or "wet-looking," or where water seeps into the hole is poorly drained. Poor drainage is also indicated by clay hardpan or subsoil often spotted (mottled) with bright colors at depths less than 18 inches.
Determine the total area to be planted to trees and how much time and funds can be spent on tree planting and maintenance each year. If you plan to plant a large number of trees, determine whether a tree planting machine can be used or whether the trees must be planted by hand. Two people can hand-plant about 800 trees in open agricultural land in an 8-hour day. An experienced three-person crew, operating a tractor and mechanical tree planter, can plant 1,000 trees an hour under the same conditions.
If a tree planter can be used and is desired, consult your area resource forester, MU Extension center, soil conservation district, or private consulting forester for information on the availability of a planting machine.
The following table shows the number of trees required per acre at different spacings.
Several private nurseries carry seedling trees and shrubs for conservation plantings. A partial list of these nurseries may be obtained by writing to
Extension ForesterThe School of Natural ResourcesRoom 203, ABNR BuildingColumbia, Mo. 65211-7270
Persons interested in purchasing trees and shrubs from the state nursery should contact their MU Extension center, or write to
Nursery SuperintendentGeorge O. White Forest Nursery14027 Shafer RoadLicking, Mo. 65542
Either contact will provide a list of the seedlings available and a nursery seedling order form. Order blanks usually are available in the late fall or early winter for the next spring planting. In filling applications for seedlings, the state nursery operates on a "first ordered-first served" basis. Since it may be impossible to fill late orders for some species, it is a good practice to order early. Delivery procedures are explained on the seedling order form.
At various times, cost-sharing for planting trees becomes available. If application for cost-sharing is made at the designated time before the trees are planted, you may receive financial assistance. Specifications must be followed and the planting must be approved by a technical forester.

An Oklahoma state legislator has introduced a bill that would effectively reinstate "don't ask, don't tell" for the state's National Guard troops. State Rep. Mike Reynolds, R-Oklahoma City, told the Tulsa World that he filed the bill in response to requests from members of the Oklahoma National Guard:
Reynolds' bill would amend the existing state law that allows any able-bodied U.S. citizen or person who has declared intentions of becoming a citizen and who is at least 18 years old and not yet 70 to serve in the Guard.
The amendment would prohibit anyone who was ineligible to serve in the U.S. armed forces under federal regulations that were in effect on Jan. 1, 2009, from serving in the Guard.
Reynolds said the state is allowed to set its own standards for service in the National Guard and is not required to duplicate standards for the rest of the U.S. military.
ThinkProgress notes that Reynolds was an endorser of Texas Gov. Rick Perry's August prayer rally, the Response, and also is a supporter of anti-gay Oklahoma State Rep. Sally Kern:
Last year, Reynolds endorsed the Response, Texas Gov. Rick Perry's controversial public prayer event, which was organized and attended by a who's-who of anti-gay leaders. "I am encouraging Oklahomans to join with thousands of other Christians from around the nation in participating in this event. Go and show your support of public prayer," Reynolds told the Pauls Valley Democrat in July.
A supporter of state Rep. Sally Kern's (R) "Oklahoma Citizens Proclamation for Morality," Reynolds has also spoken out against so-called "homosexual activists" after a gay minister recognized a same-sex couple in the gallery during an opening prayer.
Lawmakers in Virginia have also tried to reinstate DADT for the state's National Guard, but the bill died in committee.
On the presidential campaign trail, Perry has repeatedly touted that fact that as governor, he serves as commander in chief for Texas' 20,000 National Guard troops. Perry has also said he wants to reinstate DADT. So it's unclear why Perry hasn't proposed similar legislation in Texas.
UPDATE: The Human Rights Campaign and The Equality Network of Oklahoma have put out a joint statement responding to Reynolds' bill. Read it after the jump. Also, HRC has launched a petition which you can sign by going here.

With a goodly number of crown princes, princesses, sheikhs and counts in its ranks, the International Olympic Committee is not a club inclined to cut corners.
The presence in London of the 109 IOC members, led by president Jacques Rogge, is quickly coming under the kind of scrutiny they presumably knew they were in for seven years ago when they decided, narrowly, to stage the 2012 Olympics in London rather than Paris.
The grandeur of their five-star residence in the Park Lane Hilton, complete with security cordon, set the tone for the criticism they can probably expect to encounter on a regular basis during the games. Read more >>

I recently attended the 2013 Elephant Care Workshop at the Phoenix Zoo. The Workshop is put on by the zoo's highly
dedicated and compassionate elephant staff, as well as their partner Alan Roocroft who operates Elephant Business, a small elephant management consulting company. There were several keynote speakers, besides Alan, who covered topics from tusk and oral care to elephant diseases and radiographs. The focus of the workshop was foot care, which involves several issues, such as disease and abscesses, tool care and use, foot anatomy, habitat complexity and interaction, and exercise. When talking elephants, there are a multitude of things that are important when it comes to their health and well-being, but the care of their feet is at the top of the list. Foot disease and related issues are the number one reason for death in captive elephants. As Alan says, "foot care should be a culture at your facility". I took away several important key facts from this workshop and I'd like to share them.
To provide elephants in captivity with everything they need is providing them with health and well-being physiologically, physically, and psychologically. If one of those three is off than the others don't work as well, or at all. What I learned during our
lectures and discussions in the workshop is that a healthy mind equals healthy feet and vice versa. But what does it take to create a healthy mind and in turn healthy feet? Three basic things: firstly, the philosophy of the institution. We are fortunate that our management prioritizes elephant care and understands that foot care is a priority during the daily routine. Each day the keepers spend up to four hours working with the elephants on daily husbandry and training. If there is not trained competent staff as well as elephants along with sufficient time, then the elephant's needs cannot be met.
Secondly, a basic understanding of an elephant's natural history and biological needs is required. This seems so simple when thinking about it . . . spacious facilities, dirt, mud, browse, grass, varied terrain, social groups . . . the list goes on and on. We need to create complex environments and interactive habitats or else the elephants mind is not stimulated. If the mind is not stimulated then we end up with inactive, overweight, and arthritic elephants. Our goal should be to get the elephants moving, which means exercise is key. Elephants need space to move, but they also need a reason. Encouraging movement through spreading food ten times a day, hanging browse far and wide, providing acres of grass to graze from, are a few of the reasons our elephants at Oakland Zoo get their exercise. Besides exercise, we need to provide them with stimulation through reaching, digging, mudding, climbing different terrains, stepping over mounds of sand, stripping bark off of logs, etc. These are all ways they use their feet and stimulate healthy blood flow.
Lastly, imagination is the third factor that ties everything together. If a facility has the right philosophy and vision then they can create facility design that meets the elephant's needs through the right imagination. When Oakland Zoo expanded the elephant exhibit in 2004, we did it with little funding because that's all it took. We expanded the space by four acres, three of which were irrigated and seeded creating the opportunity for grazing, again a basic biological need of an elephant. Besides having the proper facility design, the keepers work on daily enrichment such a cutting fresh grass and weeds, but also on weekly enrichment such as hanging puzzle feeders on a pulley system, or stacking large tires and planting thirty foot logs for pushing over. As their caretakers, we need to provide them with the basics and more, and also provide them with the opportunity to create behavior chains. A behavior chain is a series of behaviors that occur simultaneously and instinctively. Time after time, I have observed Lisa elephant go for a swim, get out of the pool and dust with a dirt pile to dry and protect her skin, and then scratch on a large planted log (typically after elephants get wet and muddy, they get itchy, so they prefer to scratch). This would be an example of a behavior chain, but would not be possible if Lisa was not provided with any of these things. Enriching elephants is a huge challenge and I've always thought, how define enrichment for elephants when so many of these things are basic needs. Browse and dirt and grass shouldn't be enrichment, it should be standard.
Unfortunately many facilities, particularly circuses, cannot meet the physical and psychological demands of elephants. Being confined to small spaces, inactive and stagnant for hours standing on concrete equals inactive feet. Inactive feet means devascularization of important tissue that would normally be flowing with circulation. When tissue dies it becomes necrotic and infected, which causes an abscess in the foot. If infection reaches the bones in the feet, which are very close to the toenails, and causes osteitis, then the chances of survival are slim. Besides abscesses, arthritis is also another highly common ailment in elephants. Arthritis has many causes such as inactivity, stereotypic behavior such as swaying, obesity, and injury. Inactivity caused by sterile environments, can in turn cause abscesses and arthritis which can therefore cause altered body conformation which is very important in elephants. Elephants have pillars for legs which they need to support their weight. These legs stand almost directly underneath them, and their body weight is distributed by the midline sixty percent in the front, and forty percent in the back. If one thing is wrong, this whole system may be compromised. Depending on which leg or foot is injured, the whole weight distribution will be shifted to compensate for the issue, which in turn will have long term consequences and further health issues.
One of the most important lessons I have learned from my mentors in being an elephant keeper is to know what your elephants are doing and know what they're going to do. We need to continually expand our knowledge about the elephants that are in our care and we can do that through learning and witnessing their natural behavior in the wild, as well as observing their behavior in captivity. As an elephant keeper, our responsibility does not turn off when we go
home. The elephants' behaviors don't just come to a halt when we leave them for the day. Therefore, we should know what they do during the entire twenty-four hours of the day. At Oakland Zoo, our elephants are observed during the day by a team of ten volunteer observers; they are recorded at night during the winter time in the barn, and are watched for two full nights a month when they sleep outside during summer months. Through these observations we have been able to alter our management to best suit their needs. We also have collected hundreds of hours of data to help us define the elephants' behavioral activity budget as well as how far they travel in a day, which is very valuable information that determines important decisions about their care.
I was fortunate to attend this workshop and have the opportunity to absorb as much knowledge as I could; moreover, I came home and share that knowledge with my fellow keepers. I was also fortunate to meet a group of fantastic elephant keepers from around the country, and even the world! Thanks to the Phoenix Elephant Crew for putting on such a wonderful workshop.
Come join us for our 17th annual Celebrating Elephants Day in memory of Pat Derby, co-founder of the Performing Animal Welfare Society. On May 17, you can listen to a lecture by keynote speaker, Ed Stewart, co-founder of Performing Welfare Society.

PAINESVILLE, Ohio (AP) -- The families of three students killed at an Ohio high school a year ago are suing the teenage gunman and his family.
The wrongful-death case filed Wednesday came on the anniversary of the shootings at Chardon High School, east of Cleveland. It alleges negligent supervision by gunman T.J. Lane's parents and grandparents.
The case seeks damages for the relatives of 16-year-olds Daniel Parmertor and Demetrius Hewlin and 17-year-old Russell King Jr. Their attorneys say the families hope the case will resolve unanswered questions and ensure that Lane doesn't profit from his crimes.
The 18-year-old pleaded guilty to aggravated murder and other charges Tuesday. He could face life in prison at his sentencing March 19.
Attorneys representing Lane in his criminal case say they're not involved in the civil case.

It may seem odd to describe an artist who has sold about 10 million albums over a career spanning three decades as someone who has never quite fitted in.
Tracey Thorn's deep, liquorice voice has featured on tracks as diverse as Everything but the Girl's early jazz pop and their later dance-floor hits, in the background of one of the Go-Betweens's unsung gems, and in the heady atmospheres and rhythms of Massive Attack and Deep Dish, for whom she sang as a guest vocalist.
Her voice was the basis of Everything but the Girl's success for 20 years, until Thorn and her partner, Ben Watt, put the band aside for parenting their three children and, later, separate careers.
Bedsit Disco Queen, Thorn's bluntly honest memoir, gives the impression of a never entirely comfortable outsider. It charts the inconsistent rises, unexpected falls, myriad frustrations and surprising resurgence of the band, alongside her life with Watt.
''I think the problem for me was I always felt that even attempting to be a pop musician or a pop star, I was a square peg in a round hole,'' Thorn says. ''Maybe in terms of personality, I wasn't totally cut out for the role.''
Her square-peg nature was one of the attractions for many of her fans, who appreciated the frankness and acute observations of her lyrics as much as her voice or melodies.
''One of the things I say about the book is that if you're the kind of person who feels like you are muddling along through your life, then you will probably understand it,'' she says.
As can be told from the book's title, Thorn has had a zigzagging career, which has included two solo albums (and that modern rarity, a good Christmas album) in the past five years. She has battled self-doubt and stage fright, and seen Watt through a life-threatening brush with a rare autoimmune disease.
She started writing the book during a long period focused on being a mother, where she was not making music and had no real interest in starting again. The book began as a way to explain to herself why she had made music in the first place.
''That person that I used to be, that very motivated person who had the urge to write all those songs and make all those records, she'd just fallen asleep a bit in the whole period of me being at home with the babies,'' Thorn says.
''Writing [the book] woke me up again. I think I am better now and a stronger, more confident musician and songwriter because of the other things I have in my life.''
Bedsit Disco Queen (published by Virago, $32.99) is out on Tuesday.

Escalating Violence Threatens Thousands in the Central African Republic
After suffering a coup in early 2013, the Central African Republic was left with a challenging humanitarian situation, with an estimated 1.5 million citizens in need of assistance. In December, conditions deteriorated further as escalating violence threatened the lives of thousands of people already living on the brink of survival. Residents of Bossangoa, a town in the northwest region of the country, are fleeing for safety and gathering in two makeshift camps. In response to the growing crisis, Action Against Hunger's teams are working quickly to provide critical emergency services to those in need.
Thousands seeking refuge
Amidst violent clashes over the last two months, an estimated 40,000 people have sought refuge at a makeshift camp near a local church in Bossangoa. Another camp sprang up at a local school, where the number of refugees swelled from around 1,600 to 7,000 in a matter of weeks. Though displaced people seek protection in the camps, they now face other serious health risks. Alexis Ottenwalter, one of our Field Managers in Bossangoa, describes the dire situation:
"We no longer recognize the makeshift camp around the school—the number of displaced people increased four times in just a few days, with so many people crammed into a tiny space. Water, sanitation and hygiene needs are critical because the camp only has one water source, which increases the risk of waterborne disease outbreaks."
– Alexis Ottenwalter, Field Manager, Action Against Hunger, Bossangoa
Responding to the crisis
To help prevent waterborne diseases, our water, sanitation and hygiene experts are building latrines, installing a 5,000-gallon water tank, and managing waste disposal in the camps. We're collaborating closely with other humanitarian agencies to improve displaced people's living conditions and prepare for the arrival of more refugees. Beyond responding immediately in the wake of conflict, we're working to help affected people rebuild their lives.
"We must strengthen the emergency response immediately. The needs to access to healthcare, water, and food are great. We must also look to the future and plan how to help Central Africans rebuild their lives through long-term development projects."
– Alain Coutand, Regional Director of Operations, Action Against Hunger
To help people in need across the country in the long term, we're supporting health centers, and treating and preventing malnutrition and other life-threatening diseases. We will also be providing families with vouchers for food, helping farmers maintain their plots, and supporting local markets. Our goal is to restore normalcy and self-sufficiency for all families affected by crisis in the Central African Republic.

Breath-holding spells are brief periods—usually lasting no longer
than a minute—when a young child stops breathing. These spells usually result
from anger, fear, pain, or frustration and are not a deliberate behavior on the
child's part.
The two main types of breath-holding spells are cyanotic, caused
by the change in breathing pattern, or pallid, caused by a slowing of the heart
Breath-holding spells are most common in children ages 1 to 3 years. Breath-holding spells are usually not serious and do not
cause permanent damage or affect a child's future health. Most children
gradually outgrow them.

Manny Pacquiao running for President??? Helllllpppp!! He hasn't accomplished anything as a Congressman, what with 90% of his time promoting his boxing events, TV gigs, advertisements, and other "extra curricular activities." But then again, this is the Philippines, where politics are dominated by movie and TV stars, the daughter/son/spouse/mistress/sibling of an incumbent politician, etc. etc.
One of the big downfalls of countries is a severe shortage of leadership quality people in government.
Just because you can run your mouth real smooth and people know your name, you aren't necessarily going to be any good at what you intend to do.
It's the Peter Principle all over again.
Reference: Barrack Obama.
That must be a typo, surely you meant George W.Bush when referencing leadership FAILURE......

Celebrate Your Freedom to Read!
Every year hundreds of books are threatened with removal from schools and libraries across the country. Since 1990, the American Library Association's (ALA) Office for Intellectual Freedom has recorded more than 11,000 book challenges, including 460 in 2009.
Even though most of these challenges are made with the best of intentions (protecting people or children from difficult ideas), banning books prevents the freedom to choose and express opinions. Challenged books range from Mother Goose stories and the Harry Potter series to classics like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
The ALA's annual Banned Books Week is going on this Sept. 25 – Oct. 2. Banned Books Week is the only national celebration of the freedom to read. Since its inception in 1982, Banned Books Week has served as a reminder that while not every book is intended for every reader, each of us has the right to decide for ourselves what to read, listen to or view.

Was trying to come up with something last night that sounded good to me besides wings, burgers, pizza or dogs. Mrs. G suggested a stuffed chicken breast and from there I took it to Chicken Cordon Bleu.
I butterflied my chicken breast, pounded it to an even thickness, then slathered it with Dijon mustard. Next I added some deli sliced ham and some Baby Swiss.
Secured it with toothpicks, rubbed it with Sucklebuster's Hoochie Mamma and then tossed it on to the Egg with a raised grate at 400F with some apple wood chips
I think it cooked about 15 minutes, I'm not sure, I pulled it when it reached 160 so it would carry over to 165 while I whipped up some egg noodles with a lemon butter sauce with capers and artichokes.
Pretty tasty meal. Ooey, gooey metled cheese, salty ham with a hint of the sharp tang of the Dijon and just a bit of heat from the Hoochi Mama. I think Mrs. G is gonna be disappointed that she was out of town for this meal.
