CORVALLIS, Ore. – If mistletoe’s status as a nutrient-stealing freeloader has been cooling your holiday ardor, new research led by an Oregon State University scientist may help relight the fire.A survey of urban forests in seven western Oregon cities found no observable connection between mistletoe infestation and negative health outcomes for the trees it was parasitizing.So worry not: Your yuletide kissing tradition probably does not involve a tree killer. And as you’re setting concern aside, you might want to head outside.“This is the best time of year to look for mistletoe because there are no leaves on the trees,” said College of Forestry professor emeritus Dave Shaw, an OSU Extension Service forest health specialist. “Also, chances are it will be found in an oak tree – most other trees don’t get infested. So if you are looking for a kiss, keep an eye out for oaks.”Shaw and collaborators at OSU, the U.S. Forest Service and the Oregon Department of Forestry examined the occurrence of western oak mistletoe in city forests to learn about mistletoe hosts and gain insight into mistletoe management.Common from Baja California to the northern Willamette Valley, western oak mistletoe is one of more than 1,400 species of mistletoe, a type of flowering plant that attaches to the branches of trees and shrubs around the globe.Western oak mistletoe berries (on the female plants only, and toxic to humans) ripen in late fall or early winter and are eaten by western bluebirds and other birds, who disperse the seeds, most commonly on larger trees.Mistletoe seeds are covered in a sticky substance that allows them to cling to branches. Mistletoes siphon food and water from their hosts via a bark-penetrating, root-like structure, sometimes to the detriment of the host tree.“Western oak mistletoe is probably a benefit to wildlife in urban forests,” Shaw said. “On the other hand, there is the potential for negative impacts on amenity trees, which is why it’s important for urban forest managers to have assessments of mistletoe host range, both for future tree planting decisions and managing current tree populations.”Western oak mistletoe occurs on native oaks and a collection of other hosts – including acacia, alder, aspen, birch, chestnut, locust, pear, poplar, walnut and willow – so vast that no definitive host list exists.Shaw notes that urban forests often include a variety of non-native trees, planted historically for reasons that include aesthetics, adaptability, and rapid growth of shade-producing canopy. For this study, the researchers focused on introduced tree species in Salem, Corvallis, Eugene, Medford, Central Point, Rogue River and Ashland.The scientists conducted their surveys by driving, walking and biking city streets, parks, university campuses and arboreta, with the goal of visually examining all non-native tree crowns for the presence of mistletoe plants.“Urban forests are unique settings that allow for a wide assortment of potential hosts to be exposed to mistletoe seed,” Shaw said. “We observed western oak mistletoe in 227 non-native trees, of which 85% were pin oak or northern red oak.”Among the rest, 12% were other oak species, meaning just 3% were not some kind of oak tree – even though non-oaks were in the majority.Western oak mistletoe infested trees of all size classes, but only six of the 227 infested trees were less than 10 centimeters in diameter and just nine were less than 10 meters tall. Only one infested tree looked to be in poor condition, 14 were in moderate condition, and 212 appeared to be in good condition.“That suggests mistletoe, at the levels of infestation we saw, is not adversely impacting tree health,” Shaw said. “Of the 42 trees with greater than 20 mistletoe plants in their crowns, none was in poor condition, one was moderate and 41 were in apparently good condition.”Mistletoe has been a symbol of health, love, vitality and fertility in multiple cultures since ancient times, and the tradition of kissing under mistletoe has its roots in 18th century England.“The word ‘parasite’ can carry negative connotations, but mistletoe is a remarkable and beautiful plant with centuries of cultural importance behind it,” Shaw said. “It was nice that our survey showed that it wasn’t causing appreciable harm to its hosts.”OSU professor emeritus Max Bennett also participated in the study, which was published in Northwest Science. The other collaborators were retired Forest Service researcher Don Goheen, retired Oregon Department of Forestry scientist Alan Kanaskie, and current ODF scientist Scott Altenhoff.

One of the biggest pieces of news in gaming this year was EA's announcement that it was selling itself for $55 billion to investors including Saudi Arabia. The announcement of the deal has sent shockwaves through the gaming world, and now Head of Xbox Game Studios Matt Booty has commented on the deal, saying the price tag reflects how big video games have come in the global media landscape."Games have really become a foundational part of entertainment," Booty told Variety. "And as such, I think we're seeing these valuations and transactions that really reflect their place in modern entertainment."The price of the sale "reflects the value that exists in all of" the gaming IP that EA owns, including Madden, FC, and The Sims, Booty said."I'm certainly not [a mergers and acquisition] expert, but I would look at the value of the transaction really being about the forward-looking value of the IP and the stories and what they've created, even more so than necessarily, the static or rearward-looking value," he said.Microsoft is no stranger to big buyouts, as the company purchased Mojang and Minecraft for $2.5 billion, ZeniMax for $7.5 billion, and Activision Blizzard for $75.4 billion.The $55 billion would take EA private as part of the biggest Leveraged Buyout (LBO) in history. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund would take more than 93% ownership of EA if the deal closes, with Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners and Silver Lake taking the rest.EA would also be responsible for coming up with $20 billion in the deal, and this has prompted concerns that EA will look to cut costs with layoffs, studio closures, and by selling off assets.EA's sale has not been completed, but it's expected to close in 2026, pending regulatory approval and other closing conditions. A group of EA workers has criticized the sale, saying it's unnecessary and harmful to workers. People have expressed concerns that the PIF will seek to avoid "the gay stuff" and politics if the deal materializes. For its part, EA has acknowledged that its ability to attract, retain, and motivate developers may be negatively affected by the pending sale.For more, check out GameSpot's rundown of all the EA franchises that would be sold if the deal closes.

The New York Knicks are looking for backcourt depth heading into trade season. New York would like another point guard for their rotation. One player the Knicks have their eyes on is Jose Alvarado of the New Orleans Pelicans.There isn't an indication that New Orleans is looking to trade Alvarado just yet. However, the Pelicans are known to be open to listening to offers for their veteran players.The Knicks are currently a bit more than $148 thousand below their second-apron hard cap. That makes acquiring a player a tight fit for the New York. One of the reasons Alvarado could be an attractive target for the Knicks is that he makes just $4.5 million this season, with a $4.5 million player option for next season.His low salary makes Alvarado someone that the Knicks could acquire, while possibly even getting off some money themselves. The Pelicans are $1.9 million below the luxury tax, which is a line they will not exceed this season.

Temperatures are dropping, but the intensity on the gridiron is heating up.With the final stretch of the NFL season approaching, teams will have to battle the elements along with their opponents.While many teams have the comforts of warm weather or roofed stadiums, others have to brace for Mother Nature when it comes to late-season competition.The Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns are both accustomed to chilly temperatures and blustering winds, but even by their standards, they will face a daunting forecast in Week 15. NBC Chicago predicts the game-time temperature in the single digits with possible wind chills 10-to-15 degrees below zero on Sunday in the Windy City.How does that compare to the coldest games in NFL history? Let’s look back at the five games with the most frigid temperatures:5. Dec. 10, 1972: Packers vs. VikingsThe coldest regular season game in NFL history was held at Minnesota’s Metropolitan Stadium in 1972 when the Vikings hosted the rival Green Bay Packers. The game-time temperature was 0 degrees with wind chills of minus-18 degrees, and the Packers rolled to a 23-7 victory.Super BowlJan 29Looking back at the coldest Super Bowls in NFL historyNFLDec 9Who is playing in NFL Week 15? Here's the full schedule4. Jan. 20, 2008: Giants vs. Packers — NFC Championship GameThey call Lambeau Field the “Frozen Tundra” for a reason.The Packers hosted the New York Giants for the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 20, 2008, with a game-time temperature of minus-4 degrees and wind chills that felt like minus-24 degrees.The Giants beat the Packers on an overtime field goal and stunned the football world two weeks later by taking down the then-undefeated New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.3. Jan. 10, 2016: Seahawks vs. Vikings — Wild card gameThe Vikings moved out of Metropolitan Stadium after the 1981 season and have enjoyed more than four decades of indoor home games between the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome (1982-2013) and U.S. Bank Stadium (2016-present). Looking back, the last outdoor game played in Minnesota will make them appreciate the indoors that much more.The team welcomed the Seattle Seahawks to TCF Bank Stadium, home of the University of Minnesota football team, for a wild card game with the kickoff temperature at minus-6 degrees and wind chills around minus-25 degrees. The game was played at the stadium while their new home, U.S. Bank Stadium, was under construction.For Vikings fans, perhaps the only thing colder than the temperature was the ending of the game, as Blair Walsh missed a 27-yard, go-ahead field goal in the final seconds to give the Seahawks a 10-9 win.2. Jan. 10, 1982: Chargers vs. Bengals — AFC Championship GameWe’ve now reached nickname territory, with the “Freezer Bowl” coming in at No. 2.The San Diego Chargers visited the Cincinnati Bengals for the AFC Championship Game on Jan. 10, 1982, with a trip to Super Bowl XVI up for grabs. The gametime temperature was a bitter minus-9 degrees, but it was the wind chill that took the game to new extremes at minus-59 degrees.The Bengals gave the freezing fans plenty to cheer about, as they earned a 26-7 victory and their first ever Super Bowl appearance.1. Dec. 31, 1967: Cowboys vs. Packers — NFL ChampionshipWe go from the “Freezer Bowl” to the “Ice Bowl” for No. 1.Lambeau Field was the site of the coldest game in NFL history, where the Packers battled the Dallas Cowboys in minus-13 degrees on New Year’s Eve in 1967. The negative-teens temperature was compounded by a wind chill of minus-48 degrees.The Packers won their third straight NFL Championship with a 21-17 victory and successfully defending their Super Bowl crown two weeks later by defeating the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl II.
